Cosmic Blinks: Events and Politics in 2018

February 9, 2018: today with the 'Overnight Shutdown" cut short, Americans bask in the afterglow of the GOP's massive spending bill signed by wastrel-in-chief Donald Trump this morning so it may be a good time to list a few SO'W posts concerning year 2018.

You, of course, have some of your own but here's a list of mine with links to 2018 Eclipses included--and note that the GOP's gargantuan funding bill (for the military, disaster relief, domestic programs and more) was passed and signed today under the auspices of the soon-coming Solar Eclipse of February 15 manifesting a mere 6 days hence (linked, below) which yours truly has termed, the 'We The People Solar Eclipse' because it eclipses our national Moon in Aquarius (in the US 'Sibly chart' @27AQ). But if 'eclipsed' isn't the correct word for coming events, perhaps 'stimulated' or 'triggered into action' will turn out to be more descriptive of how the American people react!

Please note that all posts on the following list contain links of their own, some of which may be redundant. In no particular order they are:

2018 Signs in the Sky: Prophecy and Israel as Fig Tree regarding the Biblical 70-year prophecy concerning Israel. This post links to the Lunar Eclipse of January 31, 2018, the 'We The People' Solar Eclipse of February 15 (as mentioned, above), and a post concerning Trump's New Moon, Manafort's Trial, and Uranus into Taurus all of which align in mid-May 2018.

2018 Lunar and Solar Eclipses with Themes--eclipses are the 'cosmic blinks';

And shown in comparison are the Spring Equinox Horoscopes of 2017 and 2018;

Then for those daring enough to look beyond the shadows of 2018, here shown are dual horoscopes of Spring Equinox and Summer Solstice 2019.

DC Horoscope: Government Shutdown Feb 9, 2018

Update Feb 9, 2018: "Overnight Shutdown"! USAToday provides a Timeline of congressional goings-on last night into today with the House voting 240-186 in favor of the massive funding bill "around 5:30 am ET" which Trump signed into law this morning around 8:30 am give or take (based on his 8:39 am tweet). Rand Paul didn't get support for his grandstanding of the fiscally irresponsible Republican Party, and the Democrats didn't get their way on Dreamers/DACA either. Apparently Mercury conjunct South Node ruled with its 'inability to gain support (votes!) for ideas' (see horoscope, below, penned on top), and rising Jupiter in Scorpio took the cake with help from a sextile to powerful, wealthy manipulator Pluto (at critical-crisis degree of 20Cap). The Jupiter-Pluto sextile is base of a YOD pattern (crisis; turning point) pointing toward Trump's natal Sun-North Node conjunction = political activity and shared success (Ebertin).

Original post follows:

As of February 9, 2018 @12:01 am est, the 115th incapable and incompetent US Congress has shut down the US government again under Trump's watch, egos at its base, money on and under the table, and Trump lurking about the place (rising Jupiter in big-business oriented Scorpio leading the rest of the planets (actors)).

Here's the Trump Shutdown #2 horoscope for February 9, 2018 12:01 am est Capitol Building Washington DC:

My notes are penned on the chart. Someone will be almost certain to call it the Rand Paul Shutdown!

A further note: testy Mars applies to a square aspect with unstable Neptune thus reminding Americans of our national Mars-Neptune square of misguided motives and actions.
