Horoscope: Nov 2016 Ends with a Sag New Moon and Trump (S)elected

Below is the DC Horoscope of the New Moon that perfects on November 29, 2016 @7Sag42 at 7:18:10 am est. As you see, rising in Washington is 9Sag09 which brings up the New Moon and also a turbulent star, royal Antares, which when active tends toward war, violence, fires, quarrels, suspicion, legal problems, and/or riches but sudden loss (Horary Astrology Plain and Simple, A. Louis). This reminds me of the disturbing Mars-Saturn conjunction which joined Antares on August 24, 2016 @9Sag52:

Please enlarge the chart to read my notes.

On a political level, the destructive energy of Mars combined with Saturn suggests potentials for: military power and continuing action, interference with or by criminal elements, ambitiously taking what belongs to another, 'an older enterprise that becomes angered', and/or 'demands to halt armaments' (paraphrasing Munkasey's Midpoints: Unleashing the Power of the Planets). Notably, Mars-Saturn is sometimes called 'the death axis' and relates to health issues, stalemates, and failure.

When rising as it is here, a midpoint picture is formed which Ebertin gives as:

Mars-Saturn = ASC: difficult advancement; obstacles caused by other people; a need to economize; illness; separation; mourning and bereavement.

So is there a Mars-Saturn imprint upon the psyche of president-select Donald Trump? Unfortunately for America, there is. It's Mars-Saturn = Pluto: brutality; the rage or fury of destruction; intervening of a higher power; bodily harm or injury; murder, death of many people. Mr. Trump was born under the influence of this midpoint picture yet let's not slip into a review of his life story to see if its enraged energies have expressed before. (Criminal elements in his past are enough to satisfy such potentials, and not being a gambler myself, I believe Trump's gambling casino businesses alone are enough to identify Underworld criminal tendencies or associations but please feel free to disagree).

Now as you know, Pluto (in partnership with Neptune in particular) represents many things and among them is the criminal Underworld, or 'mafia', and, besides gambling, drug and sex trafficking. Descriptively, the New Moon chart (lower left) reveals another midpoint picture with Pluto again as apex planet of the Jupiter-Uranus opposition forming a dynamic T-Square:

Jupiter-Uranus = Pluto: a sudden change in financial conditions (Ebertin); extreme efforts to produce novel changes; extreme reworking of ideas to ensure they work properly and will be received correctly; devices with the potential to transform the world (which is why the New Moon horoscope is entitled, World Transformation). Can one little New Moon act as a marker for world transformation? Yes, actually it can. Because New Moons are capable of 'wild card' influences in similar Uranian fashion that is often seen with a Solar Eclipse just as a Full Moon can affect us much as a Lunar Eclipse can do.

Well, quirky maverick Mr. Trump is not only an unpredictable Uranian (Uranus in deal-making Gemini leads all the planets in his natal chart) but he is also a Plutonian as we've previously discussed--a Plutonian with an Unaspected Pluto in Sun-ruled Leo, with Pluto's powerful qualities unmoderated by his other natal planets.

Now, one week after the General Election of 2016, I must wonder if Trump voters and supporters really want a Ku Klux Klan White House for that is what they voted for on November 8th when they thought they were voting for 'hero' Trump's magical job-creating campaign promises. Tragically for America and the world, the word suckas can hardly cover such thoughtless gullibility.

Aug 24, 2016 Mars conjunct Saturn - Steve Judd Astrology clip

Recently we discussed the upcoming Mars-Saturn-Antares conjunction due on the evening of August 24, 2016 and we looked at the triple conjunction horoscope set for Washington DC.

Here with a perspective from abroad is UK astrologer Steve Judd on the same topic:

Sep 16, 2016 Lunar Eclipse: The Mystery of the Three Days

Colorized Horoscope: September 16, 2016 3:05:02 pm edt White House Washington DC

Yes, the chart is messy with my scribbles and colorization! Hhere are a few basic details; please enlarge image to read more...

Hour of Venus; chart-ruler Saturn is Direct (good!) and not in 1st house (good!) but rising before Mars and into 11th house while turbulently traveling across warrior Antares. Not what we want to see: a malevolent and karmic planet like Saturn (righteous-feeling in Sagittarius) less than a month past his meeting with testy Mars directly on Antares. A rowdy trio it was on August 24th. And you see Pluto conjoined with Vega in 1st house indicating events that are too powerful or unwieldy to deal with on a personal level.

So here we have status quo, austerity demanding Saturn inhibiting, depressing, delaying who-knows-what-or-whom. Apparently, someone's ambitions will be delayed at best, not met if cards aren't played well. Yet no applying Ptolemaic aspects are made by chart-ruler Saturn so how things will proceed in this situation or for this event is more hidden in the chart than when chart-rulers apply to other planets (actors). When they do apply, some moderation can take place but here it does not. It seems that suspicious, violent, fiery, blind zealot Antares takes the all the cake on this banquet table.

And the T-Square between the Sun-Moon (Full Moon) opposition squaring warrior Mars @23Sag rising in the 12th house of Politics, Large Institutions (ex: hospitals, zoos, prisons), Self-Undoing, Secret Deals, and Karma (reaping what was sown) desires ideas to come to fruition, unions to form, and sports matches to result for the athletes among us. Of course, when Mars scorches through Sagittarius, sign of the Seeker, the Arrow, and the Quest, we find those who are determined to convince others of their ideas and plans...a lot like a political campaign (Mr. Trump = Mars rising w/ Regulus). However, if the rising sign of Hillary Clinton really is Scorpio, ruled by Mars (w/ tones of Pluto underneath), she is indicated here as well. One wonders in mid-August if either or both candidates will be disqualified by September or sometime prior to the November 8th election/s!

Perhaps we'll have a chance to appreciate the eclipse's Earth-Water blend of Sun Virgo-Moon Pisces for it is the relationship anchoring the energies of the day and is the main point, really. Virgo practicality is available to those who can deal with some truths sneaking into sober conversations as speedy yet retrograde Mercury at a critical degree of its own sign of Virgo (17:05) in the subconscious 8th house, draws near North Node and embraces Mizar, a fiery Mars-inspired star of calamities and turbulence which resonates with Antares and is supported by the Saturn-Neptune square affecting society's fears of loss, illness, weakness, and poverty.

Another opposition chimes in: valuable (or perhaps vengeful) Venus opposes disruptive Uranus, the radical, at the MC-IC angles of Home-Security vs Career-Public Status. Venus-Uranus contacts suggests potentials for extravagance, eccentricity, and/or much tension toward separation which supports the Solar Eclipse themes here being re-activated by Mercury Rx. In the center of the chart you see that Mercury has been ruffling our previous Solar Eclipse of March 9, 2016 with its themes of endings, partings, and separations (Brady).

Sun and Jupiter huddle close but are 7 degrees apart and in dissociate signs (Virgo/Libra..."The Light of the Sixth Race Transmuted to the Seventh"?) with messenger Mercury ruling the Sun (Virgo) and Venus ruling Libra and thus, Jupiter. Salesmanship is going on. There are reviews of ideologies and pet theories, older ideas and criticisms though the Rx can also indicate repetition over and over (as they do in Politics). But maybe it's a case of Sales-womanship being more persuasive to the masses come November. Hillary has vulnerabilities, that's certain, but how much more out-there can Mr. Trump pretend to be? If selected president, he'll don W's cowboy hat and assert that he "has a mandate" to be as brash as he has whim to be. And the good he may do will soon be outweighed (see Canopus w/ Sirius in 7th house) by the bad.

But there's another reading of the Sun-Moon opposition: leadership (Sun) opposing the Moon (We the People) which is where the Sun-Moon blend comes in handy for this combo of energies tends toward compassion, refinement, and modesty (which can't be Trump though he was born under a Gem-Sag Full Moon). One mustn't become swamped by details even is the forgotten is remembered but continue to see as wide a picture as possible so that insights will have the broadest application wherever appropriate.

Altogether, difficulties and endings of various sorts are shown in the Lunar Eclipse along with the awareness and fulfillment vibes always described by Full Moons. This one happens to be a Lunar Eclipse and we see that unconscious and subconscious forces are rising to awareness and remembrance in order to grab their due. And I'm not certain that The Mystery of the Three Days (Saturn-NN) at Midheaven (the WHY? or Goal Point) will allow anyone enough time to sort it all out before October rolls around and leads the American people down another political primrose path toward filling the same old script-reader role in the Venusian Oval Office of the White House--whether it's a Madame President or a Mister.

9.16.16 Update: is Hillary Clinton's natal Pisces Moon being affected by today's Lunar Eclipse? Perhaps pre-affected in the last week with her health concerns and pneumonia diagnosis? There were 3 days from her diagnosis on Friday Sept 9, 2016 and the 9/11 ceremony on September 11th when our power-through Scorpio candidate fainted or was wobbly kneed.

Is Donald Trump capable of being Presidential? Vibrational Astrology weighs in

August 2016: in the video below, David Cochrane demonstrates the use of Vibrational Astrology (aka, Harmonics) to answer questions such as, Is Donald Trump capable of being presidential? This presentation is timely because Mr. Trump's remarks have grown steadily more inflammatory and ill-advised in recent weeks and there is much discussion about his "temperament" being unfit for the Oval Office.

In his presentation David 'goes out on a limb' to predict the 'turning of a corner' around August 24th and 25th when transit Saturn and transit Uranus trigger Trump's trio of Sun-Pluto-Mercury in his 23rd harmonic chart ('H23', I call it) which shows his strong views, his obsession with taking risks, his inability to listen to anyone else, and his refusal to back down but instead to 'double down'.

So August 24/25 is likely to bring a big decision either by Trump (to abandon his presidential bid and quit the race? to soften his rhetoric and get in line with the aims of the GOP?) or by the party hierarchy (an ultimatum for Trump? a permanent separation?) for as you know, Saturn to Sun is a time when decisions have to be made, and/or something must be defined; Uranus to Sun denotes a surprising or disruptive event, and/or a completely new element entering the picture.

Actually, both ears perked up as I listened to David's H23 information (recorded in July 2016) about August 24th and 25th for it happens that a conjunction of two malevolent planets occurs on August 24, 2016 which hits one of the royal stars, turbulent Antares. A conjunction always times the beginning of a new cycle of planetary energies and these are destructive energies which last conjoined in Scorpio--now in Jupiter-ruled Sagittarius which gives an ideological or religious tone to the proceedings. Naturally, war activities cannot be ruled out and some folks will simply have an active time of it though schedules may not coordinate as well as they should.

Leo New Moon and Mars into Sagittarius - Steve Judd video

August 2, 2016: UK astrologer Steve Judd discusses today's (or tonight's in the UK) New Moon in Leo, its connection to the ongoing Saturn-Neptune square, and the entrance of transit Mars into Jupiter-ruled Sagittarius which will hopefully be more forthcoming in the truth department than Mars in intense, secretive Scorpio has been.

And tomorrow Steve hopes to have a look at the nomination of Hillary Clinton which promises to include interesting perspectives coming from abroad--especially since Mars @00Sag+ conjoins the natal Jupiter of Hillary Clinton and suggests her already improving poll numbers since the DNC!
