Since December 1966, the good folk of Gavle in Sweden have always installed a giant straw goat in its town centre, every Christmas without fail.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gävle_goat (scroll down to "Timeline")
And nearly every Christmas, it got burnt down!
Last year was an exception, it got pecked and eaten to death by greedy crows and jackdaws.
It's quite easy to see why in the "natal" chart, Sun/Venus Sagittarius trine it's ruler Jupiter Leo, so an easy flow of Fire energies (quite actual sometimes!)
Also note the Mars in Virgo (literally ruling wheat, therefore straw) conjunct Uranus and Pluto, so a risk of an accidental (Uranus) destruction (Pluto) by heat (Mars).
Do you think this year might be another fiery demise? Or could it be saved?
We have Mars stationing retrograde conjunct Jupiter, there may be a few attempts, maybe the first try might not work, but the would-be arsonists may change strategy as Mars goes retrograde.
Edit to add: the Sagittarius new moon is conjunct the Sun, and is receiving a trine from a stationing Mars Leo. Oh dear.
Mars is in the 3rd, so the arsonists may be local, and would know the area well. It has been set fire in the past by tourists from overseas having "a laugh" or for a dare (followed by a short prison sentence + hefty fine!)
Notably, transit Saturn in Water sign Pisces, is square Sun/Venus, so maybe a barrier or means of prevention. If it does catch fire, it might still be salvaged.
Or maybe the goat may be too damp to combust?
Feel free to post your guesses. Fire this year, or no?
Chart with transits + Vesta added (the eternal flame!)

I hope it doesn't burn down! 
and not aflame either! Let's see what happens this month, especially around the time Mars stations retrograde.
