Autumn 2024 in Germany
Respiratory illnesses and full hospitals, scandals and insolvencies, Olaf Scholz is wobbling again.
Unfortunately, due to family commitments, I have not been able to write any new horoscope interpretations for almost two years. Sorry for the silence! As the situation in Germany and Europe continues to worsen, I'm curious to see what awaits us this winter.
The article is short, but it took me a long time to write and I hope to get back into the swing of things. If you are interested in which astrological constellation a particular prediction refers to, please write a short comment.
Horoscope
This is the horoscope for the Sun's entry into the zodiacal sign Libra on September 22, 2024 at 2.44 pm local time Berlin:
As the mutable zodiac sign Sagittarius is currently rising on the Ascendant, the horoscope is valid for six months, i.e. until the end of March 2024. There will be a new horoscope for the Sun's entry into Capricorn on December 21 if I get to it, but it will only modify this current one, not fundamentally change it.
The previous horoscopes of the astrological year for the ingress of Aries in March 2024 and the ingress of Cancer in June 2024 each had cardinal signs on the Ascendant and were therefore only valid for three months. This autumn horoscope therefore stands on its own.
Summary
Until at least the end of March 2025, the main themes of this winter for the majority of the population are health and illness and the economic situation: on the one hand, it is mainly respiratory and liver diseases that fill the hospitals and keep the sickness rate high; on the other hand, the economy slides deeper into recession, probably also due to fraud and insolvencies. Poverty is spreading, the middle class is shrinking and the rich are getting richer.
Chancellor Olaf Scholz is in a difficult position. Although the politically active section of the population supports him, this section is unable to exert its influence due to its stance on the war in Ukraine. He is largely supported by the media, but the mood is slowly turning against him and his fall is not only possible but even probable.
The positive side of this winter is that new ideas and strategies are once again becoming politically conceivable and providing a breath of fresh air. On the negative side, the political weakness at the top is leading to an unfavorable positioning on the war in Ukraine and it is likely that Germany will enter or be drawn into this war in some way this winter.
Politics
Chancellor
Chancellor Olaf Scholz is in a more difficult situation than he has been in for two years, and the end of his career is not out of the question. Although he has good relations with the political class who want to support him, their influence is inhibited and cannot be effective. However, important court decisions will strengthen his position.
Bundestag
The political opposition - in other words, the AfD and, to a lesser extent, the Sarah Wagenknecht alliance - will run into problems. Their foreign policy stance in particular will make them even more isolated and ineffective. The Bundestag will be characterized by exceptionally emotional disputes and therefore achieve little.
Bundesrat
The Bundesrat will gain in importance and be able to work cooperatively across party lines.
Foreign policy
Foreign affairs will be actively discussed and much diplomatic activity will take place, but not publicly on the important issues. Agreements with other nations on alliances and cooperation will have unforeseen drawbacks or may not even be honored by the other side. Overall, foreign relations are strained and the risk of Germany becoming involved in the war in Ukraine is high.
Economy
Productive economy/industry
The prospects for the economy are very strained and it is unlikely that there will be an improvement in the medium term. On the contrary, there is the prospect of a prolonged recession, or at least confusion and volatility, which will weigh on German industry. Scandals, fraud, embezzlement and the bankruptcy of at least one large corporation are very likely.
Agriculture/natural resources
A not inconsiderable risk of food shortages for ordinary people is to be expected here, probably triggered by the war in Ukraine - possibly even to such an extent that it jeopardizes the stability of the government.
The Media
The major media are generally well positioned, even if social and alternative media are increasingly outstripping the established outlets. Scandals are being published and the tone between the alternative media and the government in particular is becoming harsher; censorship and other forms of influence are likely. The mood in the established media is still very positive towards the politically influential layer of the population and reflects their concerns, which are not the same as those of the majority of the population.
Speculation
Speculation is on the rise, mainly benefiting celebrities and the already rich. This creates a good mood among the public at first, but is more likely to be due to government action and will end in a sharp crash relatively quickly, although probably not yet in this period. Scandals may also come to light, but probably not yet in the mainstream media during this period.
Foreign trade
Foreign trade is weakening, concluded agreements and international regulations are doing Germany more harm than good.
Population
Majority of the population
Rising income inequality is putting a strain on ordinary people and leading to a depressed mood. The population's health is under strain, with respiratory diseases such as pneumonia and liver infections filling hospitals.
Politically active class
The politically active class is mainly trying to support Olaf Scholz, but is weakened and its influence is inhibited. In general, there is disagreement and confusion and parts of this layer are slowly finding more common ground with the majority of the population and their concerns.
