The ingresses
of the Sun into the four cardinal signs Aries, Cancer, Libra and Capricorn are
considered among the most important events in mundane astrology. The Sun has
just moved into Cancer on June 21 and
the chart for the ingress drawn for Oxford is shown here. Notice that the Venus-Jupiter combination linked to indulgence and enjoyment is square the
horizon. Additionally, the ingress Sun makes hard aspects to Venus [14le] and
Saturn [29sc]. Although Venus and Saturn are connected by the traditional
aspects, the interval between them is 105 degrees. Charles Jayne was
particularly intrigued by the minor aspect of 105 degrees and he coined
the term for it: "squine." Halfway between a square and a trine [1]. Whether
or not we are willing to consider 105 an aspect, what is important here is that
Sun aspects both Venus and Saturn and brings their energies together.
If we now progress
the ingress chart to the date of the Oxford Carnival,June 5, the progressed Ascendant
reaches a conjunction to Saturn triggering the Saturn-Sun-Venus configuration. The Sabian symbols [2] for Venus (135) and Saturn (240) say it all!
