Wizard Weekly by Daniel Giamario | Jan 11, 2026 |
Jupiter Entered The Scene
The powerful and within a 384-year timeframe for the 32-year Underworld Saga most exact Venus-Mars-Sun alignment unfolding this season is nowhere near finished. Quite the contrary: Jupiter has arrived on the scene to amplify the planetary Underworld gathering behind the Sun, now also including Mercury.
The exact Venus-Mars conjunction was on January 7. Since then, Venus and Mars both have had their own individual conjunctions with the Sun. On Friday, January 9, Venus reached opposition with Jupiter at 20Cancer11Rx. The yearly opposition (resonant polarity) of Jupiter with the Sun was Saturday January 10 at 20Cancer06Rx. Later on Saturday, Jupiter’s opposition with Mars was exact at 20Cancer04Rx. This is also the time of year when Jupiter is at his closest and brightest (magnitude -2.68) of the year, dominating the night sky, rising in the East at Sunset and setting in the west at sunrise. Just imagine a new born with this planetary signature! Global humanity with this signature! It only happens every 32 years.
Jupiter amplifies, expands, and activates whatever he is in aspect with. Surely, Jupiter is expanding and amplifying this most unique and significant underworld gathering. How so? I sense several primary expressions, individually and globally.
1) A great deal of secret, clandestine activity is taking place. A long standing plan for Earth unfolding out of sight, while what is evident within the chaos and unexpected world events are the distractions designed to keep the secret plans secret. Many coups are taking place. Let’s expose them!
2) Venus and Mars are both undergoing shamanic death and rebirth. At this time of The Great Turning and the end of Kali Yuga, grieving is a necessary component of their initiatory process. Authentic grieving only happens when we have really loved. Can we connect with our love of the Earth, our connection to nature, and our indigenous souls? Only then we can grieve our loss, and create new life, beauty and art for an organic rebirth of Prime Earth. With
- Venus’ Pisces overstory
- Mars’ Cancer overstory
- Jupiter as a symbol of global dharma also in Cancer
- and the next three Mercury synodic overstories all in water signs
there is hope that hearts can open, bifurcations can heal, compassion can expand, even becoming fashionable, and men and women can begin collaborating again.
The hope derived from all these placements is possibly the support needed for the preservation of our pure human sovereignty, free will and connection to our divinity. Using our spiritual will for creating alternate ways of life to counter technocracy and AI can create a strong pushback. Without this though, I fear that the both the United States of America as well as Homo Sapiens (Human 1.0) are pretty much finished.
The Chiron Factor
As many know, Chiron stationed direct January 2 at 22Aries36 and on March 19 will join up once again with Eris at 24Aries59. Chiron will then enter Taurus on June 19. His return to his discovery date is November 1, 2027, at 3Taurus08Rx (with Moon and Jupiter in Cancer highlighting the US natal chart). What may be lost in the ongoing acceleration and deceptions is what is happening with Chiron over these few days:
- Sunday, January 11: Venus square Chiron, 22Capricorn38/22Aries38
- Monday, January 12: Sun square Chiron, 22Capricorn38/22Aries38
- Tuesday, January 13: Mars square Chiron, 22Capricorn39/22Aries39
- Thursday, January 15: Mercury square Chiron, 22Capricorn41/22Aries41
Chiron is filling out a T-square configuration with the underworld planetary gathering in Capricorn, amplified by Jupiter. The United States natal chart has Chiron at 20Aries08, in square to the Sun and Mercury in Cancer! Saturn was then filling a T-square and Pluto creating a grand cross. And even then, Venus, Mars and Mercury were all pretty close to the Sun in Cancer.
I had speculated in the previous Wizard Weekly that Chiron’s station direct on January 2 signaled the end of the United States’ fifth Chiron Return. Maybe not. If it was, then this is the first significant Chironic test. And since the inception of the US doctrine of “Manifest Destiny”, which was not the founders’ intent, much of what the US does takes the world with it.
If the Chiron Return offers the intent of digesting the fracture points of our lives, and then creating an elixir for our service to humanity, the question remains if this is happening with the US. We shall see … But Chiron, in Aries, does not, in my view, council war, but rather the strength and spiritual will to not comply. I hope I am wrong, but what I see is increased bifurcation and hatred, all leading to the third Uranus return of the United States in 2027. This is very likely the most important Turning Point of the Fourth Turning.
This week is not an easy group of configurations, personally or collectively. It’s best to remain neutral, not take partisan sides, and to do the deepest inner work you have ever done. Have the courage to open to what you love, grieve what has been lost, and align with a vision of hope (not hopium) to help in co-creating the post-Kali Yuga world.
