The Aries Ingress Chart

What is the Aries Ingress?

The Aries Ingress is when the Sun moves into the sign of Aries. In the tropical zodiac, the Aries Ingress is synced to the Spring Equinox in the Northern hemisphere and the Autumn Equinox in the Southern Hemisphere. 

At the equinox, there are equal amounts of light and dark in a day.  From that day forward though, in the Northern Hemisphere, the amount of light will increase, with the light overcoming the dark. In the Southern Hemisphere, it is a case that the amount of daylight starts to decrease. 

The Aries Ingress Chart and Mundane Astrology

For centuries the Aries Ingress Chart has been used in Mundane Astrology. Mundane Astrology concerns a large group of people, such as a country, including its ruler/s, rather than a horoscope for an individual. 

By looking at the time that the Sun ingresses into the sign of Aries, set for the location of the capital city of a country, we can use the position of the planets and which houses of the chart that they are in to tell us what might be ahead for that particular country. 

Looking ahead for 3, 6, or 12 months

The sign on the cusp of the Ascendant of the Aries Ingress for a particular country will determine how long the conditions in that particular chart will last. 

If the sign on the Ascendant is a fixed sign (Taurus, Leo, Scorpio, or Aquarius), then the details of the chart are good for forecasting for the next 12 month period. 

If the sign on the Ascendant is a mutable sign (Gemini, Virgo, Sagittarius, or Pisces), then the details of the chart are good for forecasting for the next 6 month period only. 

If the sign on the Ascendant is a cardinal sign (Aries, Cancer, Libra, or Capricorn), then the details of the chart are good for forecasting for the next 3 months period only. 

The sign on the Ascendant is dependent on where the Sun comes up over the horizon at a particular time, date, and place.  The zodiacal degree on an ascendant moves quickly, moving forward about a degree every 4 minutes. Because of this, most countries will have different Ascendant degrees, although some countries that are very close may share the same Ascendant sign. 

Much of the information I have used has come from “The Annotated Raphael’s Mundane Astrology” by Anthony Louis
