11 South Eclipse: When Systems Fail

Future Eclipses Echo Past Conditions and Events

by Jude Cowell

When an 11 South Solar Eclipse occurs once again on August 2, 2027 @10 Leo, it will conjunct the natal 12th house Pluto of Donald Trump (he'll be 81 yo!), and we may expect that whatever deteriorating societal conditions are in play by then, 11 South Themes will apply: "a need for sudden reforms; old ideas and methods fail and new systems are required to deal with events; new ways of handling issues; any blocks could be violently or tragically removed" (paraphrasing B. Brady).

Now these potentials have been the case in previous 11 South years including: 1901 (27 Taurus), 1919 (7 Gemini), 1937 (18 Gemini), 1955 (28 Gemini), 1973 (9 Cancer), 1991 (19 Cancer), 2009 (29 Cancer); then in 2027 @10 Leo, as noted, and 2045 @20 Leo. Besides Trump (nee June 14, 1946), members of the Pluto in Leo generation are in the Uranian cosmic blink's crosshairs of 11 South and karma will be knocking on multiple doors. If this is you, consider the natal house in which 10 Leo falls. For me, it will be the 11th house, if I'm still kickin'.

As for 11 South's eclipse of Trump's natal Pluto, it will include his horrendous midpoint picture of negative potentials - Mars-Saturn = Pluto: 'deaths of many people; murder; injury; fury of destruction; intervention of a higher power' (R. Ebertin). With powerful Pluto involved with the eclipse, criminal offenses and gang violence are indicated on a negative level but if the energies are positively used (by Mango Mussolini's Mars-Saturn = 'death axis'?), Pluto's magic wand can grant more powerful charisma. This suggests that the mass delusion that one third of Americans are suffering under with Trump as their cult leader will continue and may be contagious. Will any blocks be tragically removed?

11 South Eclipse June 14, 1360: Moon rises with Castor, Pluto with Menkar

So some measure of prominence is given to all 11 South eclipses because the series' initial eclipse occurred upon a Cardinal World Point of Manifestation as you see in the horoscope. Set for Washington DC (because that physical point on the Earth existed though not the city), the chart shows a forceful Mars-Pluto Conjunction rising and multiple hints of 'having a mission' as in, the Crusades (eclipse conjunct Alhena so both are strengthened). This means that Mars-Pluto forcefulness, even brutality are permanently attached to all 11 South Eclipses in some way along with other indications from the initial eclipse such as Alhena's 'having a mission' influence.

Now understandably, recorded historic events of Year 1360 are on the sparse side yet you may find a few interesting names on the births and deaths list. A couple of names stand out for me, one of which is Giovanni di Bicci de' Medici, the banker who founded the Medici dynasty, and Ulrich von Jungingen, German Master of the Teutonic Knights (but that's partially because in the past I've linked Herr Trump to said Knights, in his own mind, at least. Well, Trump family genealogy (Drumpft or Trumpfheller, actually) does go back to Thuringia, Germany, which began as the Duchy of Thuringia). A military Catholic order, the Teutonic Knights went on Crusades to re-take Jerusalem. Might this relate to the orange blighter being "selected" to announce the return of Israel's capital to Jerusalem in fulfillment of the 70-year prophecy? Maybe, but there are also cosmic reasons having to do with factors such Phaethon and Trump's Midheaven with raging star Algol twinkling malevolently upon it.

So in closing, my hope with this post is that a view of the initial 11 South Eclipse might interest curious readers who may not have seen a horoscope of its dangerous energies before (Pluto-ASC = Mars) or its Neptune Rx in mystical Pisces leading a BOWL shape of people on a mission, plus, the long-term project implications of chart-ruler Mars trine Saturn in Leo carrying 11 South themes into August 2027. My guess is that Trump has had the privilege of reading ancient manuscripts, but that's a post for another day.

Meanwhile, the August 2, 2027 Eclipse in Sun-ruled Leo may be viewed through a Cancerian lens (June 14, 1360) which emphasizes the eclipse's karmic Sun-Moon quality of relationships, family ties, and inheritance through DNA. You know - like descendants of Teutonic Knights and other Crusaders of old!

Alito Draft Leak and a 1991 Eclipse

A Deceitful Stealth Campaign to Destroy Roe v Wade

by Jude Cowell

Thanks to Politico, we can read the 'SCOTUS Initial Draft' written by Justice Samuel Alito here, marked as "circulated February 10, 2022" but leaked late in the evening of May 2, 2022. As you know, Republicans are busy making the controversy all about the leak rather than the Draft's extremist content. An inconvenient leak with bad timing? Or a run-it-up-the-flagpole event intended to prepare the ground for the Court's actual decision? Bizarrely, Alito cites in his draft a relic of a jurist, Sir Matthew Hale (my 9th cousin 12 times removed, geni dot com tells me) who is known for many things, among them: sentencing women to death for witchcraft. His book was published in 1736 and identifies him as a paternalistic no-such-thing-as-marital-rape kinda guy - the stuff that handmaidenism is made of, and this echoes the regressive beliefs of justice Barrett. Of course, this reveals Theocratic leanings as well.

Related is a view of the natal horoscope of Clarence Thomas which was published on SO'W in March 2022 upon the occasion of his hospitalization as timed by a Full Moon @27Vir40 which perfected between his natal Mars-Neptune midpoint and suggested illness and infection.

Protect Your Daughters Especially the Younger Ones: Republicans Plan To Legalize Rape!

As for the long-term drive by ideologues, Evangelicals, Catholics, and whomever to strike down Roe v Wade and women's ability to direct their own health care (with input from their medical doctors and significant others), we may wish to consider the time frame of September-October 1991 of his Nomination, Hearings, and Confirmation to the US Supreme Court, available on Wikipedia with dates and details. Nominated on July 1, 1991 by President George H. W. Bush (who was pro-choice as was his wife Barbara) and confirmed on October 11, 1991 (52-48), justice Thomas is an interesting if curious study. For the purpose, there exists a bio page concerning Clarence Thomas where we find that he received a BA degree from the College of the Holy Cross, a private Jesuit arts college. Then it was on to Yale.

Now you may disagree, but the man's religious leanings seem significant as revealed in part by the 11 South Eclipse Horoscope's Midheaven ('MC'; The Goal) degree of 17 Leo and its Sabian Symbol, "A Volunteer Church Choir --", plus, the revealing Sabian Symbol of the 11 South Eclipse itself: "19 Cancer" = "A Priest Performing a Marriage Ceremony." Well, peep-eye Vatican!

Meanwhile, during his 1991 confirmation hearings, Mr. Thomas lied about discussing abortion issues when he was in law school because, as he testified, he didn't remember engaging on such topics because he was too busy being married and having a job. Of course, this was a tactic to avoid expressing his true opinions which followed the Bork model of hiding one's real intent until confirmed and seated on The Bench, a radical reactionary ploy, now plainly shown by the Alito draft. Then as you know, Mr. Alito also hid his views on abortion during his confirmation hearings as did Kavanaugh, Gorsuch, and handmaiden Barrett; hence, the proposed expansion of the number of SCOTUS justices is a necessity if we wish to squelch Republican lawlessness concerning these social issues and stop on a federal level America's descent into legal madness and the destruction of our court systems. Both men are extreme ideologues.

Then as you know, another complication is Clarence's wife Ginni Thomas who is intimately involved in current events via her surreptious support of Trump's Jan 6th Coup Attempt and the ongoing 'Big Lie' that fraudulent Neptune favors. One assumes that she shares her husband's religious views - if religious is what they are. Yet you and I know that plutonian power grabbing is always a major focus of the Republican Party, now turned into a gang of scofflaws and thugs under Trumpism.

Cosmic Vibes of 1991: Neptune Illusion, Occult Societies, Paternalism

Image DC Horoscope: 11 South Eclipse of July 11, 1991 3:06:06 pm edt Washington DC

A prominent factor complicating matters, the July 11, 1991 Solar Eclipse was opposed by nebulous Neptune Rx @15Cap16 in the 3rd house of Communications (as in, testimony). See lower right corner for what tends to result when a solar eclipse is opposed by the planet of fraud, lies, and deceit: confusing conditions are created of truth vs fallacy, reality vs illusion - the same Neptunian conditions that opposed the 19 North Solar Eclipse of 'realism' and 'tackling the truth' and which affected (infected!) America's Election 2016 and Inauguration 2017. Who can forget their ridiculous 'alternative facts' gaslighting?

Now all of Clarence Thomas' confirmation proceedings occurred under the difficult influences of the July 11, 1991 11 South Total Solar Eclipse @18Can58:59, a major 'cosmic blink' (aka, a 'wild card of the Universe') and above you see the Eclipse Horoscope set for Washington DC with eclipse themes penned on the chart and also typed below, along with the date and degree of its next occurrence, plus, 11 South's initial eclipse in Cancer (family matters!). Significant is chart-ruler Mars (@27Leo42 in 10th house) which makes no applying aspects to other planets, but even though Venus moves faster than Mars, by degree I'm calling it as 'Mars conjunct Venus' (which conjuncts royal Regulus: success if revenge is avoided) due to the fact that 'new alliances' and 'energetic legal matters' can be a result of a Venus-Mars Conjunction. And also because of the relationship, partner, romantic, sexual connotations of the pair, some of which relate to Anita Hill's information concerning the degraded behavior of Clarence Thomas in their previous work place, and the planetary pair's link to baby making activities which ties in with Roe v Wade.

11 South Themes: 'need for sudden reforms; old ideas/methods fail and new systems are required to deal with events that occur; any blocks could be violently or tragically removed' (B. Brady). The initial 11 South Eclipse manifested on June 14, 1360 (OS) @00Can48, a Cardinal World Point, with young people's planet, Mercury @19Cancer (conjunct the 1991 Eclipse degree), plus, a forceful, often brutal Mars-Pluto conjunction in Aries (suitable for rapists of all ages).

We can expect the next 11 South Eclipse on August 2, 2027 @10Leo, the position of Mr. Trump's natal 'Pluto = Mars-Saturn' midpoint picture of brutality and death in his 12th house of Hospitals and the Unconscious. If he's still ticking by then.

Then as you see in the above chart, Neptune conjuncts fixed star Vega which suggests the involvement of 'occult societies', and this seems to be another hint of religious, spiritualist, or supernatural involvement, added to Thomas' connection to the Jesuits and the Catholic Church. To summarize: bizarre, over-the-top zealotry, emotion-based religiosity, and in Politics the radical reactionary determination to shove America into Theocracy resembling the Taliban's sharia law (aka, handmaidism) should be on every American's radar now - but especially in the November Midterm Elections, and again in November 2024.

So! Telling lies to advance what radical reactionaries zealously believe is a 'higher cause' began big time under Ronald Reagan (circa 1980) although Republican fascist leanings may be seen as far back as the Goldwater era (1960); yet Barry Goldwater actually supported abortion rights, or seemingly did as a Libertarian.

Yet one of the scarier things about the Alito draft (which is 'only' a draft) is that it apparently represents the flowering into public view of the GOP's radical zealotry which of course includes a major streak of racism and the promotion of other regressive proposals that white 'supremacists' and others favor as they work to push the US back into the 1950s and 1850s. I fuss because the safety and privacy of every American is at stake!

So in closing, let's note that in the eclipse horoscope, above, rising Pluto Rx 17Sco38 conjuncts the natal Chiron of Clarence Thomas and their blending suggests that he may have been under the sway of forces such as Plutocracy, primal violence, exploitation, and a variety of other -isms including racism, a card that Thomas used against opponents who challenged his SCOTUS confirmation, if memory serves (I remember watching the hearings back in the day). My suspicion is that he was counseled to add the 'race card' to his Bork-inspired tactic of hiding his true beliefs during his confirmation hearing in order to finagle himself onto The Bench.

And thanks to a vote of 52-48, he squeaked by.

Trump Money Laundering and Kazakhstan natal data

Wednesday January 17, 2018: by now you've heard of more money laundering accusations apparently being leveled against Donald Trump having to do with the Trump SoHo Hotel (now The Dominick) and kleptocracy Kazakhstan, plus, the fact that Trump welcomed the autocrat of Kazakhstan to the White House yesterday. Guess they had stuff to catch up on! (Or stories to get straight). Well, here's the country's foundation data for its declaration of independence from the Soviet Union in case you don't have it yet:

Kazakhstan December 16, 1991 14:00 GMT Alma-Ata, Kazakhstan; ASC 29Cap45; MC-IC 12:41 Aries-Libra (critical degrees); Sun 24Sag01 in 5th h; Moon 19Ari51 10th h; unaspected Pluto 21Sco35 5th h (foreign control); Prenatal Solar Eclipse (July 11, 1991) 11 South 18Can58.

11 South themes: old ideas/methods fail, new systems needed to deal with events; any blocks could be violently or tragically removed (Brady). Set up specifically for money laundering ventures and other financial crimes, was it?

Last 11 South Eclipse: July 22, 2009 29Can26--conjunct Kazakhstan's natal Ascendant.

See the BBC Timeline of Kazakhstan history which includes four events in 2009 (check out the French action).

Is it curious that two descriptive asteroids are angular in the Kazakhstan independence chart? They are Nemesis Rx rising @29Cancer and Panacea at the critical-degreed Midheaven. Banking Jupiter (also plays The Politician) is in the 2nd house of Money and Values and traveling with asteroid Cupido which contains several archetypes within, any of which may apply: The Family (religious, criminal, or other type of large organization), Corporatism, the Criminal Underworld. Actually, the word 'mafia' comes to mind.

Interesting that all the transiting planets now in Saturn-ruled Capricorn are snugged within the chart's 6th house with the national North Node 9Cap57, Uranus 12Cap47, and Neptune 15Cap39, the 'Enlightenment Planets' shown as they were lining up for their three Great Conjunction/s in 1993 @18Capricorn: smug or strong-armed paternalism...POLITICAL POWER..."The Union Jack Flies from a British Destroyer." And with transit Pluto @18Capricorn off and on these days, the trio forms the stark midpoint picture: 'the big picture commands a certain course of action, very little option to do otherwise' (Noel Tyl).

And on this towering financial topic we then look to the upcoming Solar Eclipse due on August 11, 2018 @19Leo in the 2 New North Saros Series, the themes of which mimic the meaning of Tarot card #16, The Tower which collapses in a cloud of dust. Perhaps 2 New North eclipse energies refer to the global economic system on course for demolition and rebuilding in The Dragon's image, and/or, on another level, to Donald Trump's much touted, now weakened 'empire' of gilt and illusion. After all, some Trump buildings have been taking 'TRUMP' off their facades for a while now in vain attempts to hide past links to the man. And personally, I don't blame them. Do you?

Trump, the Presidency, and the GOP? Neptune at Work!

Can Loosening Neptune Be Knitted Together?

by Jude Cowell

Since February 2011, transit Neptune has floated through its own sign of Pisces and is now @12Pisces+ as September comes to a close. And spotlighting the sign Pisces, we basked beneath the rays of a Full Moon @13Pis53 on September 6, 2017, and who can forget the last Pisces Solar Eclipse on February 26, 2017 @8Pisces in the 19 South Series? Its cosmic Piscean implications of instability, fakery, and erosion are imprinted forever upon Mr. Trump and his loosely staffed administration.

Yes, this Neptune in Pisces transit has proven to be a murky proposition full of shadows and white hoods and when shady Politics and in-breach-of-the-public-trust politicians are factored in, there stirs a poisonous stew of scandals, secrets, corruption, falsehood, propaganda, the media and the masses, delusion, dissolution, undermining efforts, instability, weakness, confusion, over-sensitivity, disappointment, pessimism, distrust, incorrect perception, weird imaginings and notions, spies, breaches--leaks--hacks, other types of theft, draining, networks, webs, the Internet, masks, drugs including alcohol, oil-gas-water issues including floods and toxic poisons and chemicals, sabotage, sneaky criminal activities, hiding one's true character, false public images and public relations work, obscuring and veiling, misrepresentation, metaphysical interests, the supernatural, visions and dreams, plans without any real prospect of fulfillment, finagling and rigging (ex: elections), and a major potential for financial and/or religious fraud.

Now you, dear reader, may think of more connotations involving the merging qualities of astrological Neptune.

After all, in the worldly realms of Politics and Society, there grows paranoia, fear, fanaticism, gossip, epidemics and contagions of various sorts which seem to take precedence over Neptune in Pisces' admirable ability to inspire, show compassion and charity, and divinely uplift to the heights. Yes, I do believe that in 2017 America is in need of a spiritual awakening as much if not more than ever before!

For it may turn out that the future of our Republic depends upon such an awakening from elusive Neptunian dreams (ex: 'The American Dream' - see The Real Meaning of The American Dream.)

But here we shall stick with the worldly material and political realms.

So with otherworldly Neptune very busily at work these days, it follows that several of SO'W's topics would be infused with Neptunian vibes and undermining activities of various sorts, so a list of recent efforts involving Neptune, Mr. Trump, the office of the president, and the Republican Party might provide a loose knitting together of Neptune's recent activities--some by transit, some lurking in progressions, and some emphasized by the timing of planetary returns:

Plus, don't miss a previous post by millennial astrologer Kevin Estes who provides an overview of Neptune through the signs in his Neptune Generations: The Image and Culture of Society.

And for info on the expansion of Neptunian vibes concerning fraud, get-rich-quick schemes, over-promising, and inflated notions, simply add societal planet Jupiter to wispy Neptune and you have potentials for speculation, gambling, financial bubbles, money laundering, deceit, and illusions about growth. This dreamy duo appears in the natal chart and 2nd house of 'real estate mogul' and alleged billionaire Donald Trump--and with wounded/wounding Chiron sandwiched between! (See his natal chart, linked above.)

Now the following may sound extremely familiar--even to readers of a Republican persuasion: Jupiter-Neptune's Hegelian Thesis and Antithesis potentials in the realms of Politics and Business as given in Michael Munkasey's excellent book, Midpoints: Unleashing the Power of the Planets:

Thesis: Expansion and elaboration of ideals or dreams; policies of expansion and growth; ideals mirrored in a religious context; churches espousing a moral philosophy for all; foolish or unfounded legal situations.

Antithesis: Scandals about growth, values, or belief systems; hypocrisy growing as a form of internal policy; a legal system where ethics and morals are based upon favors and payoffs; degradation in systems of justice.

2017 Neptune hits American Revolution's Prenatal Eclipse in Pisces

2017 Neptune Veils Yet Reflects the Solar Eclipse Influences of the American Revolution

by Jude Cowell

Those familiar with the Year 1775 in US history know that it was a tremendously eventful 12 months in the American Colony during which our major struggle for Independence was sparked and set aflame. Let's take a look at the horoscope of the March 1, 1775 Solar Eclipse @11Pisces11 set for Lexington, Massachusetts where the "shot heard 'round the world" was fired less than two months later on April 19, 1775 and triggered the beginning of the American Revolution.

The March 1, 1775 eclipse in the 11 South Saros Series is the Prenatal Eclipse of the American Revolution and its horoscope, planets, and eclipse themes may reveal a few insights into, and motivations behind, our fight for independence from Britain which ultimately (after many struggles and hardships) brought to fruition the Uranian-Neptunian ideals of The Enlightenment - Utopian ideals which were held by America's Founding Fathers, many if not all of whom were members of secret societies. Does this Neptune transit return with revolutionary ideals in tow?

And if we fast forward to 2016 and 2017, we find transit Neptune conjoining and reflecting the PE of the American Revolution (11Pis11). These hits occurred twice in 2016 and were exact on April 17, 2016 and August 12, 2016. Significantly, the third and final transit of Neptune to the 1775 Solar Eclipse degree occurs on February 16, 2017 and I think you'll find that the themes of 11 South apply closely to the Electoral College selection of Mr. Trump to play the POTUS role, and to the events and behavior of the newly minted Trump presidency with its lack of a mandate from a majority of We the People--hence the millions of people worldwide now protesting in the streets against Trump and his policies. They are re[resented by Neptune, too!

11S themes are noted below the horoscope; please enlarge the image if you wish to read my scribbled study notes, some of which will be discussed, below:

Image: 11 South Solar Eclipse March 1, 1775 5:01:13 pm LMT Lexington, Massachusetts; the Hour belongs to warrior planet Mars, the Mutable Earth/Water/Angular chart shows a Seesaw shape of polarities and conflicts, and a KITE pattern with rebellious anarchist Uranus at Midheaven (The Goal and WHY? Point--see bottom, left) includes Venus exalted @24Pisces and Mercury @27Pisces as the focal planets (emphasis on Venus) of the KITE pattern--and Neptune, the higher octave planet of Venus, as its tail. A Mars-North Node conjunction (military and police contact) rises in the horoscope, as you see, with NN @3Vir47 stationary so the chart is now having a Nodal Return which suggests new alliances, particularly of the Jupiterian kind ($$; politics; religious leaders; Jupiter the General--Mr. Trump's newly chosen Cabinet and staff) but with an aggressive Martian flavor of violence, war, military action, and quarrels--lots of quarrels stirred up by the Mars-Rising Mr. Trump, the litigious.

11 South Themes: sudden reforms are needed as old ideas and methods will fail so that new systems are required to deal with events; thoughts of new ways to handle issues; any blocks could be violently or tragically removed (paraphrasing Predictive Astrology, B. Brady).

To approach the topic sans Astrology, try Paul Mendoza's article posted on February 22, 2016, 2017: The Third American Revolution? written during Campaign 2016.

And, for comparison's sake, here is a dual image of the 11 South eclipse of 1775, plus, its last manifestation @30Cancer (Sabian Symbol: "Daughter of the American Revolution" on July 21, 2009, Barack Obama's first year in the Oval Office and the Great Conjunction/s of Jupiter and Neptune, the speculator-wastrel-inflationary pair of planets that hit US natal Moon (We the People) and caused that dreamy feeling over Barack along with 'little sense of reality', 'becoming involved in speculation', and the sense of rootlessness engendered by the mortgage and home foreclosure crisis embedded within the 29th anaretic degree of Cancer, sign of home, family, security, and those responsible scuttling sideways to avoid confrontation. Note that we're talking of Politics and the negative expression of "30Cancer" is: "the ultimate betrayal of self-hood by a false assumption of superiority" and its Illumination Point opposite ("30Cap") is: "rampant selfishness and rank exploitation of others" (Jones):

11 South 1775 eclipse is lower left and 11 South 2009 eclipse is upper right; note that the zealots-on-a-mission pair of Jupiter-Chiron in the 12th house of Karma and Politics (2009 chart) at "25AQ" has a curious Sabian Symbol: "A Butterfly with the Right Wing More Perfectly Formed" (my italics). Also note that 11 South manifested in the years 1901, 1919, 1937, 1955, 1973, 1991 (events: GHWB's Desert Storm invasion, his public touting of a 'new world order', and the assassination of writer Danny Casolaro), (2009), and next in 2027 @10Leo. 11 South's initial eclipse at Cardinal World Point 00Can48 occurred on June 14 (Trump's birthday, NS), 1360 (OS), the year of the Treaty of Calais between England and France which did not end their Hundred Years' War). And so a Cancerian lens is used through which to view all subsequent 11 South Solar Eclipses, no matter their sign, and 11 South themes contain the potential to trigger worldwide events.

Floating Back to Nebulous if Inspirational Neptune (photo, above)

Now as you know, astrological Neptune resonates with the Arts, veils, masks, disguises, leaks, deception, lies, fraud, weakness, confusion, corruption, disappointment, and the undermining of current conditions, but also suggests the urge to merge, erosion, distrust, delusion (including self-deception), liquids such as water, oil, gas, plus, toxins, infections, and drugs such as alcohol, cannabis, and prescription pills. Yet Neptune's resume also includes such entities as: the Divine Source, the mainstream media, the masses (unwashed or otherwise), the so-called "useless eaters", spiritualists, idealists and ideologues, the Collective and its Unconscious, and propaganda.

To Neptune add realistic Saturn, planet of authenticity, and we have Kellyanne Conway's "alternative facts", invisible/secret government, and sick, depressed, and/or weak people. In other words, Saturn-Neptune keys the now-tattered social safety net programs of FDR's New Deal, the ones Trump and the Republicans (and their financier enablers) are determined to disrupt and destroy--with the help of corporate Democrats--so that control and the money involved in these social programs are handed over to reckless, greedy Wall Street speculators and warmongers. Plus, some creative depopulation occurs by default, leaving more resources for the 'elite' ones who remain. You know how some 'unintended consequences' are actually (Saturn) secretly (Neptune) intended all along.

In addition, the zealous anarchists (Uranus in Aries; Jupiter conjunct Chiron) want our Education Department monies, too, and for this purpose they are forcing an unqualified anti-public-school Betsey DeVos into office to undermine our school system and steal from public education funds (and from our children! You just know that Mr. Jefferson must be turning over in his grave--over the theft and over 'fake news', too).

So obviously, Neptune in its own sign of murky Pisces can 'help' with the *destruction of our social and political institutions and we hear more and more in the Neptunian news media that America is again having a revolution thanks to the alt-right white supremacists who have coup'ed the White House--and the resistance from the pubic. And the September 1, 2016 Solar Eclipse @9Vir21 with its 'good time for tackling the truth; seeing a thing for what it really is' vibes being opposed by transit Neptune in Pisces had its 'realism demands' confused and muddled by deceptive Neptune in opposition to the eclipse themes that were and continue to be sorely needed in this country. A 'good time for tackling the truth' is about to give way to the February 26, 2017 Solar Eclipse themes but has had spotty success so far and Mr. Trump's fake news continues to be promoted ad nausem.

And so in closing, we see that the February 16, 2017 Neptune transit to the 1775 American Revolution Solar Eclipse falls between the upcoming Lunar and Solar Eclipses of February 10th and February 26th and thus creates a trio of significant cosmic manifestations that suggest political reforms in the manner of "A Butterfly with the Right Wing More Perfectly Formed" with its negative connotation of "unhappy and rebellious conceit." But how about the positive manifestation of "25AQ", so near the US natal Moon?

Positive expression: "A genius for turning deficiency into a real asset."

Sounds huge to me! As long as We the People get busy turning the many deficiencies of the Trump regime into real assets to be used against his and Steve Bannon's bigoted alt-right agenda so that the movement becomes our revolution, not his!

~:~

*destruction? Other chart factors apply, of course, very much including plutocrat Pluto, now in Saturn-ruled Capricorn, sign of government, law, and business, for the saboteur is in process of destroying institutions, systems, traditions, and taboos. And this, as the wealthy dragon creeps along toward fulfillment of America's first-ever Pluto Return in 2022 (27Cap33 Rx, opposite US natal Mercury Rx in Cancer, our sneaky surveillance and spying pair; progressed US Pluto has been at the crisis-anaretic degree of 29 Capricorn for some time--conjunct the 00AQ Inaugural Sun (POTUS) and opposing the 2009 11 South Solar Eclipse!) Yet occurring even sooner than 2022 is a Pluto Return to its position (25Cap57) in the 'American Revolution's PE' horoscope, a period beginning once transit Pluto reaches 20Cap55 in March 2018.

Bilderbergers and a Web Of Debt: Solar Eclipses repeating

The Bilderberg Plan? A 'One World Company' not a NWO

by Jude Cowell

Though Ellen Brown's work is not wholly unknown to me, it's only today that I discovered a series of her instructive financial articles available at Web Of Debt where clear explanations are given for thorny topics such as the Bilderberg Group's involvement (culpability!) in the ongoing financial ills which crescendoed once again in 2008 and which continue to plague financial systems here and abroad.

Here's an interesting quote from Prof. Carroll Quigley, an insider groomed by international bankers, those self-exalted 'Masters of the Universe' who engineer and profit handsomely from bubbles, booms, and busts.

In 1966 Quigley wrote in Tragedy and Hope:

“The powers of financial capitalism had another far reaching aim, nothing less than to create a world system of financial control in private hands able to dominate the political system of each country and the economy of the world as a whole.

The apex of the system was to be the Bank for International Settlements (BIS) in Basle, Switzerland, a private bank owned and controlled by the world's central banks which were themselves private corporations. Each central bank...sought to dominate its government by its ability to control Treasury loans…."

This is why I feel quite droopious when I think of the ability or desire of the US government or any other's to 'repair' the world economy or improve financial systems of nation-states.

For unless the stranglehold now being tightened by Bilderbergers, monarchists, private shareholders, and other participants in the global conspiracy to "own, not govern the world" is addressed at the root level, it seems likely that a global collapse will occur, if not now then later, and that the Bilderbergers' ARISTOCRACY OF PURPOSE between American and European elites will attain their goal to "manage the planet" through a global network of "giant cartels", as reported by Ellen Brown.

(No, I'm not certain what difference it makes whether we call them a 'New World Order' as Poppy Bush, the Rockefellers, and others have done--or a 'One World Company', Limited or otherwise. They su*k no matter what.)

So whenever you, dear reader, feel psychically protected enough to face honestly the hydra-headed 'satan sandwich' of greed and Machiavellian power-grabbing that make up the global banking industry (syndicate), you can do little better than to check out Ellen Brown's series of articles at Web Of Debt.

What Do Abraham Lincoln and JFK Have To Do With It?

Mention there is made of Abraham Lincoln's assassination soon after he had
printed 'greenbacks'--debt and interest free--to finance the Civil War rather than accepting usury interest rates on loans that were offered by central bankers. Culpability for his heinous murder as ordered by certain bankers is not proposed in Ms. Brown's articles but I myself add such an assertion here (click 'greenbacks; link to read about Abe and about JFK's similar actions in June 1963.)

For as you know, it's by making large loans to governments that central bankers acquire massive wealth and daringly, Lincoln had made an end-run around their determination to profit from the 'Civil' War which they themselves had funded in the first place.

And since the shady but not very secretive 'One World Company' must prevent governments from issuing their own currencies and credit in order to maximize Company profits--and keep governments and politicians under heel--we then see all through history examples of bankruptcies, foreclosures, crashes, and sales of people's assets at fire sale prices. And who do you think buys such assets?

Hence the financial precipice we're paused upon as the take-over plan progresses with its deluded idea of a "destiny" that intends to control all resources and necessities of life for the whole of humanity (while retaining only the best of everything for themselves.)

The Process Continues: 2008 into 2009

Now besides 2008, the year 2009 shows prominently in the scenarios and systems detailed in Ellen Brown's articles linked above and so I remind you of the Solar Eclipse of July 21, 2009 in the 11 South Saros Series--at a critical-crisis degree: 29 Cancer 27. This eclipse opposed US natal Pluto in Capricorn (with our Secondary Progressed Pluto 29Cap+, and natal Pluto 27Cap33 Rx in the 2nd house of Money in the Sibly chart.)

11S themes are: 'a need to make sudden reforms; old methods will fail and new systems are required to deal with events brought (or enforced?) by the eclipse; new ways of thinking/handling issues are needed, and any blocks may be violently or tragically removed'.

(Paraphrasing Brady's Predictive Astrology.)

Past years in the modern era in which 11S manifested are: 1901, 1919, 1937, 1973, 1991, (2009), and next, in 2027. In these previous years, similar themes were experienced collectively along with profiteering from the misery, loss, and death that wars and financial panics created. What the 'One World Company Limited' could have in mind for 2027, I do not care to guess.

But before 2027 arrives, America must first navigate our national Pluto Return/s of 2022 (3x in Feb-July-Oct), the first Pluto Return/s in US history. Background influences of the Solar Eclipses during 2022 include 6N and 6S, both of which had manifested in 1932 during the rises to the world stage of Hitler and FDR.

April 30, 2022 6N @ '10Tau' = 'authority issues; a need to take control and responsibility; commitments made due to another's unreliability or illness'; Oct 25, 2022 6S @ '2Sco' = 'being forceful and taking power; manic energy within relationships and group activities; sudden events.

Back to July 21, 2009's 11 South Solar Eclipse @ 29Can27

You may note that 11S's occurrence in 1991 timed the assassination of writer Danny Casolaro who was to meet with a contact who had promised him more information on PROMIS software and on the global entity/network which Casolaro had titled, The Octopus (aka, The Beast, imho.) The writer was murdered before he could complete his whistle-blowing book on the global crime syndicate and his notes mysteriously 'disappeared' from the scene of the crime...

"...any blocks may be violently or tragically removed."


Solar Eclipses of 2009: 11N and 11S

Though no recent edits have been made, you may wish to read a previous post concerning 11S's effects, Danny Casolaro (1991), and financial matters, plus, view the July 21, 2009 Solar Eclipse horoscope--along with the chart of the 'New President' Solar Eclipse of January 26, 2009 (both charts set for Washington DC) at Jude's Threshold, one of my other blogs.

But why review the 11 North 'New President' Solar Eclipse of January 2009? Because its flavor and portents are indelibly imprinted forever by the Universe upon the presidency of Barack Obama...no matter where he may roam or vacation.

Bush-Reagan-Obama and Solar Eclipses 1991/2009

With his usual insight, journalist Robert Parry of Consortium News has written what for me is an expose of the links between the Iran-Contra scandal of Ronald Reagan (1981) and the Gulf War of George H. W. Bush (1991) - Poppy's "100 hours of carnage."

Mr. Parry ignored his employer's instructions (Newsweek) at the time and set up an interview with a key witness, Israeli operative Ari Ben-Menashe, who sat in jail because his government thought it too politically sensitive to aid him. Parry was attempting to "tie down the loose ends of the Iran-Contra scandal" and you may wish to read results of Parry's Ben-Menashe interview and his excellent analysis by clicking above.

If the American people had then learned of how the Israeli government meddled to affect the outcome of a US presidential election, it would've been damning for Israel. Yet finding out now how they and the US government acted in secret (October Surprise: denying President Carter the fruits of his efforts to free the American hostages in Iran and boosting Reagan in our eyes, plus, the Bush Sr Gulf War which he himself linked to the implementation of a 'New World Order'), only reveals the weak basis of implied and much-touted integrity upon which our nation totters in 2011.

Perhaps this calls for another posting of the famous video of a wonky-eyed President Bush calling for a New World Order from the well of Congress; I watched him speak on TV that night with a feeling of foreboding which has unfortunately for the world, been born out as up-to-no-good:



The Solar Eclipses of 1991 repeated in 2009, the year Barack Obama took office. They are:

11 North (Jan 15, 1991 @ '26Cap' conjunct US natal Pluto; Jan 26, 2009 @ '6AQ', conj US n South Node; on this blog I termed it the 'New President Eclipse' since it occurred just 6 days into Mr. Obama's presidency.) 11N is the Series about 'suddenly changing groups through travel or ideas and making greater commitments to them'. And Yes, he could and did.

11 South (July 11, 1991 @ '19Can' conj Fixed Star Castor, an evil influence; July 22, 2009 @ '29Can', a critical-crisis degree which opposes US Secondary Progressed Pluto.) 11S is a difficult Series about 'making sudden reforms, old ideas or methods failing, and new systems being required to deal with events' - and 'any blocks being violently or tragically removed'.

11S is the Pre-Natal Eclipse Series of George Washington taking command of the Continental Army (1775), the assassination of Marat (1793), the Arab Oil Embargo (1973), and Bush Sr's Operation Desert Storm (1991) as noted, plus the assassination of writer Danny Casolaro who was working on a book exposing what he called The Octopus, the world crime syndicate which has now taken so much air out of our tracheas and most of the money from of our pockets.

But this has been done on behalf of establishing a 'New World Order' so it's okay, right? Puh!

The initial eclipse in the 11S Series occurred on June 13, 1360 (OS) @ World Point 00Can48. Historical events of the year 1360 are understandably sketchy yet there was the Treaty of Calais.

Eclipse info paraphrased from Brady's Predictive Astrology.

Guidance on the July 21, 2009 Solar Eclipse '29can'

If it's guidance or info you're needing concerning the July 21, 2009 Solar Eclipse at 29 Cancer, you can do no better than Julie Demboski's excellent analysis with her practical suggestions included.

Naturally I don't 'do' advice on this blog (or on any other!) because I tend to spend time using the lens of Astrology to look at History and at Politics and politicians, especially in the DC area of the world - and they ain't listenin'.

Yet it must be mentioned that Tuesday evening's Solar Eclipse will fall barely two degrees from President Obama's natal Mercury (2Leo20), which is how he says things, his style of thinking and planning, and his orating abilities. His Mercury is opposite natal Jupiter, too, so his Mercury/Jupiter opposition will be triggered.

That Mercury relates to his children, I prefer to pass over, if you don't mind. That the Eclipse has slightly over a 2-degree orb to natal Mercury may be good - the Eclipse energy is less intense that way and more objectivity can be present - particularly to one as self-aware as Mr. Obama.

Wing-footed-and-helmeted Mercury is also linked to travel, commerce, and trade, so the president's schedule and the content of his speeches will be of particular note this week of a rather difficult Eclipse Series, the 11 South, with its 'systems break down; new methods are needed' vibe for the next 6 months of the 11 South season.

The Eclipse opposes Inauguration 2009's Sun and Mercury Rx (00AQ+), so we may expect diverse opinions and people running off into various directions while changing their minds.

In fact, the president's thinking on Inauguration Day 2009 is subject to switches and quarrels and answers are difficult to come by. His speeches may not be as well-received as he would like, although recent ones seem to have lots of applause involved...we'll see if that response continues.

So will Obama's Health Care Reform bill be presentable by Congress' August recess? It may go either way, but one thing I know based on the opponents of the bill and their current talking points: stalling for decades is hardly a "rush" to reform.

The richer classes of America must share some little bit of their largesse, or America may fall. If that occurs, we'll know that the elite's priorities and loyalties lie elsewhere than upon our sovereign shores. (Some of us know this already, but apparently it must be demonstrated to be fully appreciated - and then it will be too late for the middle class, much later for our poorer classes. It is America's failure that we have so many people under the poverty line at this late date.)

But of course even without Astrology, we already know that systems of all sorts are breaking down or are under tremendous stress, so let's see what a White House chocked full of Democrats has in mind, shall we? For America, falling upon one's own resources may be one theme of this Eclipse - survival mode is another tinge of possibility. Shouts of 'protectionism' may soon follow as usual - how tiresome!

Until then, please check out Julie Demboski's thoughts on July 21's '29 Cancer' Eclipse and its possible effects on the house axis where it falls in your natal chart and the planets which '29Can - 00Leo' may aspect for you.

Julie's perspective will do you good while Politics seldom will!

A TV shout-out may be in order for those who are especially attracted to the Earth's Moon - tonight at 9:00 pm edt (in this market - check your local listings), PBS presents a program on The Moon which should be quite interesting! jc

Ever heard of The Moon Society?

NYSE, Eclipses, and Danny Casolaro

Have you ever read the tale of the founding of the NYSE as told by astrologer Ed Kohout?

Under the buttonwood tree on the morning of May 17, 1792, the stock exchange began with Pluto at 23AQ31...where dissolving Neptune is drifting now.

Neptune to Pluto is a period of time when power (Pluto) is dissolved and undermined (Neptune) but not necessarily by anarchy - it can be done by treachery or poison. The current ruler or system of power and control is removed or perhaps, in today's lexicon, outsourced or...downsized and given Neptune's link to webs and nets, I'd say computer hacking and other tech shenanigans may be involved along with Neptune's deceptive and fraudulent qualities.

Yes, progeny of the super-powerful PROMIS tracking software could be part of what's going on with Wall Street's ups and downs these days; plus, a Solar Eclipse in the same 11 South Series as the Eclipse of *July 11, 1991 (at '19Can' - a degree that keeps turning up in several of the charts I study relating to violence) will occur again on July 22, 2009, this time at '29Can' which is considered a critical or crisis degree.

The 11 South Series is concerned with:

the need to make sudden reforms; old methods and ideas fail and new systems are required to deal with the events that come up; as a result, new ways of handling issues are needed and any blocks may be tragically or violently removed. (Brady's Predictive Astrology.)

*It was during the 11 South Eclipse Series that the murder of writer and journalist Danny Casolaro took place - he was in the final stages of readying a book for publication outing what he and others called the Octopus, a worldwide organization of thugs for which PROMIS software has proven very useful over the years.

In its original form, the software had been stolen from the Inslaw Corporation, modified (with a 'backdoor' for surveillance), expanded, and sold for big bucks to many countries including Canada and Israel - and, some say, to Osama bin Laden (who was never intended to be "caught" by Bush-Cheney, btw.)

The weekend that Casolaro was murdered, there was a New Moon (a lady - Moon - meets a man - Sun...?) at 17Leo00. Casolaro had had meetings at his motel in Martinsburg, WV, and was last seen walking back to the motel from a convenience store where he'd gone to get a cup of coffee around the time of the New Moon on the dark night of Aug 9, 1991.

As you see, this New Moon in Leo was a month after the Solar Eclipse of July 11, and Casolaro had his notes for the book with him plus other information which he had gone to Martinsburg to receive. As you would expect, none of his notes were found after his mysterious death (he supposedly slit his own wrists while lounging in a tub of water.)

The July 11 Eclipse degree, '19Can' is conjunct Fixed Star Castor, to write or create - and is conjunct Danny Casolaro's natal Mercury, the writer; the messenger; the reporter.

The weekend of his death, transiting Sigma, the scribe, was conjunct activist Mars 15Vir54, and tr South Node 18Can47 was triggering the July Eclipse degree.

If you use the Googly Web you can find info on this strange case but I want to give you the midpoint pictures for the New Moon of Aug 9, 1991...Danny Casolaro was trying to warn the world about what was up and I believe we've been seeing the world crime syndicate having its way these last several years in countries all over the globe, so the least I can do is give you the planetary pictures. The first one concerns Pluto, the saboteur or assassin...

Mars/NN = Pluto 17Sc36: others must 'get on the train' or get left behind; a violent or forced separation in a partnership; joint achievements.

Saturn/MC 6Cap28 = NN: people in mourning; a major stroke of fate may affect all development.

Neptune/Mc = Uranus 10Cap28 Rx (Uranus out-of-bounds): self-righteousness; intense impatience; a desire to bring ideas to realization at all costs; confusion; sudden inner experiences. (Tyl; Ebertin.)

~All, none, or some combination of factors may apply.~

One more thing - the wound, Chiron, was in early Leo in July, 1991. Chiron in Leo is **easily overwhelmed by Uranus, which is the only OOBs planet in the chart and in process of approaching its Great Conjunction with Neptune at '18Cap' which is the NWO degree...smug and strong-armed paternalism...'SUPERVISION' in the Marc Edmund Jones version of the Sabian Symbols, but in the Dane Rudhyar version?

POLITICAL POWER - which is quite well-consolidated now.

Mar 7, 2008 transits to Arab Oil Embargo chart 1973

The excellent Information Clearing House has an interview by Amy Goodman with Stephen Kinzer author of All the Shah's Men: An American Coup and the Roots of Middle East Terror which gives a basic view of how the US and UK sparked our present troubles by their greed, perfidy, and the Bondian exploits of Teddy R's relative, suave spy Kermit Roosevelt, who facilitated the overthrow of Iran's democratically elected government which resulted in the re-installation of the Shah--bwo the CIA.

We can also thank the Eisenhower administration for the overthrow and its 'unintended consequences' which turns out to be something at which the US government excels. Lots of practice, and 1953 was no exception. Read the article, if you haven't, for it explains a lot of the UK and US machinations,shall we call them. It's the oil, stupid.

And I would add, and the money that can be made from the oil.

The book is now in paperback which I've been waiting for so I've put it on my Wish List.

Inspired by today's $106 barrel oil (the highest ever) here is the chart of the Arab Oil Embargo of 1973 which I took a re-gander at this evening along with the transits for this afternoon, 4:00 pm, NYC.

In the 1973 chart, North Node (associations; connections) is at00Cap58--this afternoon's Pluto? 00Cap58 (no, I didn't realize this until I saw it with my own peepers.)

This places today's tr Mars--out-of-bounds and setting bombs and fires all over the place~1Can08--conj 1973's South Node (of the Moon)--a separative point of karmic repercussions. Mars-SN = violence; war. And I might add, disenfranchised men between the ages of appr 25--35...some of them with red hair.

If we look at the possible word pictures of these three players, Mars, Pluto, NN, we get:

Mars-Pluto = NN: working with others to change the world; joint performance of record achievements; spurring others on; setting an example for others to achieve.

Mars-NN = Pluto: others must 'get on the train' or get left behind; a violent or enforced separation in a partnership.

Pluto-NN = Mars: exhibition of personal power; tyranny; demonstrating violence or brutality in the presence of others; desire to make others amenable to one's wishes; the misfortune to be placed under someone's else's power and control. (Tyl; Ebertin.)

Another clump of planets can be done the same way--1973's close conjunction of Moon 4Can42 and Saturn 4Can45, with 2008's tr Mars 1Can08, so we see:

Moon-Saturn = Mars: lack of determination; desire to overcome difficulties; soul-conflicts; the sense of real problems; difficulty getting off the ground except by very careful, strategically planned exertion of energy.

Moon-Mars = Saturn: caught in the middle of the road; frustration; quarreling; dissatisfaction or an unsatisfied desire; suppression.

Mars-Saturn = Moon: weak will; moodiness; depression; feelings about losing something.

Well, phooey--this post is being overtaken by a massive thunderstorm system rolling in now...so in case I don't get to complete this post before tomorrow, the above linked article makes it plain that a US strike on Iran would result, among other things, in Iran's being able to shut the Strait of Hormuz by sinking a couple of oil tankers which would effectively close the tap on 20% of the world's oil supply.

And the Pre-natal Eclipse Series of the Oil Embargo of 1973 is 11 South...Brady gives this Series as:

old ideas and methods fail; new systems are required to deal with events; blocks may be violently or tragically removed.

So if we hobble toward 2009 without allowing Cheney-Bush their daft and cruel strike on Iran then we've got trouble comin'...this Eclipse repeats on July 22, 2009, "30Can": "A daughter of the American Revolution."
