"Blood Moon" Eclipse October 28, 2023

by Jude Cowell, partisan for democracy

Quite a few study notes are penned upon the DC Horoscope of the "Blood" Moon Eclipse of October 28, 2023 @5Tau09 conjunct 2nd cu$p - perfecting at 4:24:01 pm EDT in time for Halloween 2023. Please enlarge the image for better viewing.

Right away we see that with fraudulent Neptune rising in shady Pisces, our espionage, sabotaging of government, and gaslighting troubles continue, plus, political, ideological, and religious conflicts extend along with financial concerns (Sun @6Scorpio: "A Gold Rush"); relationships may end if not strong enough to survive current strains.

Yes, these are tragic days of separation and mourning (Saturn = Moon-MC; R. Ebertin) afflicting suffering people around the globe, and a fateful struggle is engaged (Pluto = Saturn-MC). Meanwhile, uncertainty, insecurity, and neuroses continue to cause problems, not the least of which is in the US Congress due to "maga" Republicans who are there to sabotage, not govern.

However, Neptunian veils and disguises are due to be exposed and the spotlight of a lunar eclipse creates the perfect timing for it! Plus, we always expect significant leaks of secrets and inconvenient information when a lunar eclipse is in the picture. And for DC, this particular 'wild card of the Universe' shows sneaky Neptune rising!

Now below you see that the Midheaven ('MC"), the Goal Point of any horoscope, sports Cupido atop the chart which suggests that entities such as Corporatism, The Syndicate (crime; mafia; secret organizations), and 'The Family' (religion) remain primary antagonists of a democratic America as foreign and domestic enemies form coalitions, however loose or temporary, intended to collapse our nation. But not so fast: because the Moon's symbol, "A Bridge Being Built Across a Gorge" hints that a Speaker of the House will be found - perhaps a democrat such as Hakeem Jeffries who can work with "both sides of the aisle." Yet how well 'the people's business' might then proceed is anyone's guess. But we know it's definitely a dud under anti-democracy "maga" Republicans.

"Blood" Lunar Eclipse October 28, 2023 @5Tau09 4:24:01 pm EDT:

As you well know, the world is in crisis (Solar Eclipse in the 7 South Saros Series--here in 7th house @21Lib08) and yet hope for improvement is available via "an obstacle suddenly clears" (7 South, B. Brady). The late October Lunar Eclipse in Venus-ruled Taurus represents the culmination phase of the last New Moon (7S Eclipse) of October 14, 2023. And with a Taurus Moon, we may expect changes in financial matters, eclipse or not. Then of course, both Libra and Taurus are Venus-ruled and relate to money, valuations, and materialism.

Sun Sco-Moon Tau (Water-Earth; Mars-Pluto, Venus)

This blend of conscious-unconscious energies shows determination, intense idealism, and concern for others. However, a tendency toward dogmatism can rear its head especially when pride and self-esteem are under threat. An inherent understanding of financial realities and an inflexible or rigid will may be noticed, along with an occasional blindness toward the motives of others.

Now let's consider one of this blend's "Images for Integration" which seems most appropriate for the times - and the low-charactered people - such as these:

Pluto takes Persephone Into the Underworld (Sun Sign-Moon Sign, The Harveys #ad).

So this is a brief look at the October 2023 'Blood' Moon Eclipse with the chart set for Washington DC as a symbol of the United States of America. Notably, nebulous Neptune in Pisces acts as the final dispositor of the horoscope - and links to the Republican Party as the political party in the US that formed in 1854 with Neptune in mid-Pisces, so I blame their underhanded ways for most if not all of our current troubles. And as far as yours truly is concerned, the GOP can dissolve itself any way it likes as long as it doesn't wash our country down the drain with it. Besides: Republican politicians don't represent even half the US population so why should they run the show with their hateful fasc*st agenda?

Printable: Joe Biden's Jupiter Return

His Jupiter in Cancer Exalted and Mothering the World

by Jude Cowell

With nary a study note penned upon it, below is President Joe Biden's current Jupiter Return Horoscope set for June 24, 2014 and operative until his next Jupiter Return (actually a three-fer return in 2025 and 2026) in Jupiter's 11.6-year cycle of reward and expansion.

This is a printable copy which includes the Return's aspect grid where we see that Mr. Biden's Jupiter is at the bends and thus denotes issues that must be dealt with with (square the Nodal Axis in the Aries-Libra polarity: karma between family vs external relationships/the public; his Catholic religion is also involved). Then as you see, Jupiter is posited in Return 5th house of Risk-Taking, Creative Pursuits, and Children, and receives a sextile of opportunity from the Taurus Moon (Biden's natal Moon = 00Tau59 in natal 5th house - conjunct Herr Adolf's natal Sun so Joe instinctively understands what were the Austrian dictator's possessive, intolerant, materialistic Taurean goals).

Additionally, Mr. Biden's Jupiter inconjuncts Return Midheaven @23Sag21 suggesting that career adjustments have been needed by Mr. Biden in order to attain his Jupiterian goals of political leadership. Perhaps this represents on one level his rise from VP to POTUS which may have been his goal all along! Then if we use the Return Midheaven as a point where Moon-Jupiter's sextile energies ('a ray of hope' - A. Oken) can be beneficially released and utilized, a YOD pattern appears, and women's issues (Moon-Jupiter) become part of our political, social, and religious dialogues and must be dealt with, as noted, in the visible 10th house. This fortuitous cosmic condition of the sextile has helped Jupiterian Joe Biden to triumph over Herr T's 'Big Lie', a negative Mercury-Neptune square condition of misguided perception, falsehood, fraud, and fantasy-spinning.

YOD Pattern of Crisis and Opportunity

Moon sextile Jupiter points toward Return Midheaven and shines a cosmic spotlight upon the karmic December 14, 2020 4 South Eclipse @23Sag08. As it turned out, 4 South's vibes of discontent and the 'desire to end relationships' hasn't only been on the side of the brutal Tr*mpians, but also describes the December 14, 2020 electors doing what the rest of us wanted: voting Joe Biden into the White House.

Because, as you see in the Return 2014 chart, President Biden's Jupiter Return Midheaven @23Sag21 was conjoined by the Electoral College Vote Eclipse of December 14, 2020 in the discontented 4 South Saros Series - on the day that the Electoral College Vote elected Mr. Biden, and the one that Tr*mp and his comrades (what's left of them in late 2022) can't stop squawling and grousing over how 'rigged' and 'stolen' the 2020 Election was. My guess: Herr T must be the mouthiest sore loser in the world.

Well, if Election 2020 was stolen, this common-good Southerner admits to being heartily thankful that modern day fascists and neo-nazis have received gracious helpings of comeuppance for the sake of democracy - at the recent Midterms 2022 Elections and in November 2020!

Yet we know that it's not the time to abandon our pro-democracy efforts since barbarian coup plotters certainly aren't done causing trouble, division, upheaval, violence, and strife in our country. For example see The Dangerous Eclipses of 2023.

Joe Biden, Democracy, and the Democratic Party

As for our Democratic President Joe Biden's Jupiter in Cancer 'Mothering the World', this resonates closely with democracy's protective and nurturing functions, and with the asteroid that signifies democracy: Ceres - which also represents the mother archetype! Obviously, contrasts may be made with the Republican Party's tendency toward strong-armed paternalism and misogyny against women but such musings are beyond the scope of this post.

So! If, dear reader, you print out the above chart, or set up one of your own, the horoscope will prove handy for following planetary transits (including eclipes) to its planets and Angles as cosmic timers for events - especially transits to the Angles - for they will affect the Jupiterian hopes and goals of President Joe Biden, and, through his presidency, will positively or negatively affect America and the American people.

Thanks a bunch for reading and share if you dare! Jude

Two Horoscopes: Christopher Ruddy w Newsmax TV

December 16, 2020: With the holidays fast approaching and my typing time growing briefer each day, here's a quick posting of a bi-wheel of horoscopes. Inner is a speculatively timed (by Moon to 00Cap00:00 because a personality blend of Sun AQ-Moon Cap seems to me to suit Mr. Ruddy better than an AQ-Sag combo of energies but check out both blends if you're curious) natal chart for NewsmaxTV founder and CEO, Christopher Ruddy, journalist and author of a book about the 'strange death' of Vince Foster, along with a 6:00 am est horoscope for the launching of NewsmaxTV (NYC; exact hour of first broadcast unknown). Besides operating from Manhattan, the network also maintains headquarters in West Palm Beach, Florida, and Sugar Land, Texas.

For as you know, during these closing days of the Trump 'administration' multiple suggestions of a Trump foray into broadcasting have been floated, plus, the White House denizen apparently favors NewsmaxTV over Fox TV for his political entertainment and soapbox. Perhaps you noticed that in July 2020, Trump encouraged viewers to "dump Fox News" after Fox reported poll numbers that infuriated him. Tsk. He also suggested the pro-Trump OANN (One America News Network) as an alternate option.

Bi-Wheel inner: Christopher Ruddy January 28, 1965 "9:21:14 pm" est Mineola, New York (he grew up on Long Island, says his Wikipedia bio); outer: 'NewsmaxTV launched' June 16, 2014 "6:00 am est" New York City (Eastside Manhattan):

Chris Ruddy's potential Sun AQ-Moon Cap's 'Images for Integration': "A revolutionary is elected president...An alien civilization comes to Earth to rescue man from imminent destruction." (Sun Sign-Moon Sign, Charles and Suzi Harvey #ad). Note that this is the natal Sun-Moon blend of freakish author Ayn Rand, inventor Thomas Edison, and President Abraham Lincoln.

Now most of my study notes are penned on the chart/s, as you see, but let's close with the themes of the Solar Eclipses that Ruddy and NewsmaxTV were 'born' or hatched into. Ruddy's is the 2 South Saros Series @11Sag55: "joining unusual groups and receiving a great deal from it" (last 2 South occurred @15Capricorn on January 5, 2019 as the 116th's 'New Congress Eclipse').

NewsmaxTV's 'Prenatal' Solar Eclipse @8Tau51 ('PE") fell into the 16 South Saros Series with themes of "issues of wasted energy or misdirected motivation especially in groups; no real action should be taken" (paraphrasing Brady's Predictive Astrology #ad).

Significantly, the Halloween 2020 Full Moon @8Tau38 conjunct transit Uranus, planet of disruption and chaos, intensely activated or spotlighted the themes of the NewsmaxTV Solar Eclipse (conjunct by degree). However, radical zealot Uranus the anarchist is quite capable of disruption and upheaval even without the laser focus of a Full Moon acting much like a revealing Lunar Eclipse.

Inauguration Day 2021 and the Void-Of-Course Moon

Yes, it's true what you've heard or have noticed yourself: on Inauguration Day 2021 the Moon will be void-of-course from 3:29 am to 1:56 pm est when Luna will float into Taurus. As a representative of the public and the public mood on that day, the Moon leaves Mars-ruled Aries and enters the more stable, even placid, sign of Venus-ruled Taurus, about two hours after the swearing-in. Plus, for then-President Biden this day will contain a Moon or Lunar Return for him perfecting at 3:55:36 pm. Still, awaiting him are obstacles and delays aplenty for his Moon and for the American people - soon to be represented by Biden's Moon! - as the true extent of Trump's sabotage of US government systems (Saturn) and resources (Jupiter) are encountered by the Biden administration (Moon squares inaugural Saturn 3AQ57, then squares inaugural Jupiter 7AQ28).

So what can a void-of-course Moon portend on this asupicious Oath-taking day? Will the Presidential Oath need to be taken a second time? Will the testy Mars-Uranus Conjunction @6Tau44 (exact at 3:38 pm est) disrupt and hinder as Luna approaches? Does 'starting a new job' under a VOC Moon suggest failure or does it merely indicate the difficulties we already expect Mr. Biden to face?

My personal hope is that the VOC Moon's more positive potential for 'whatever is underway will proceed without anyone's being able to interfere' will rule the Oath-taking ceremony and the day itself. However, you may wish to check out Judith Ryan's website where you'll find a whole list of VOC Moon possibilities for your consideration, both pro and con.

And with sore loser Trump's tiresome legal battles which may still be brewing on January 20, 2021, perhaps the day's VOC Moon's caution to 'avoid starting court proceedings' may figure in prominently rather than its 'don't start a new job'!

October 24, 2018 Full Moon in Taurus: a Hunter's Moon

October 2018 Hunters' Moon? Politicians Are Predators for Our Votes!

by Jude Cowell

The October 24, 2018 Full Moon @1Tau18 conjunct disruptive Uranus has found a path across the Internet, not the least because it is the last lunation ('Syzygy Moon') prior to the November 6th Midterm Elections which are pivotal for any successful resistance to Trump's anti-democratic agenda via a Democratic blue wave or, better yet, a blue tsunami.

So perhaps you've already seen the DC Horoscope of the October 24th Full Moon (horoscope shown with details) but if you're looking for a non-political, more personal assessment, there are multiple online astrologers to oblige. Here are a three links to excellent Oct 24th Full Moon posts for your consideration and in no particular order:

Celestial Space by Depali Desai; Horoscopes for the October Full Moon in Taurus by Rachel Celeste Hansen on 2018's Hunter's Moon; and Full Moon October 2018 by Dark Star Astrology.


Now, since this is 'Stars Over Washington' let's consider potentials of the Moon-Uranus combination of energies in the realms of Politics and Business as detailed by astrologer Michael Munkasey in his book Midpoints: Unleashing the Power of the Planets but beware: some of the following may remind you of a certain individual:

Thesis: An enterprise with great insight into the needs of its people, yet one which has a very unusual way of showing care and appreciation toward its population; unconventional rulers with an emotional flair.

Antithesis: Leaders who rule at whim with little sense of how their enterprise is seen by the rest of the world; an emotionally immature person placed in an important and visible leadership role.

2018 Midterms' Syzygy Moon shows Blue Revolution!

September 28, 2018: yes, the Syzygy Moon chart prior to the November 6, 2018 Midterm Elections is in the conservative-preserving money sign of Taurus, the bull. And yet...in the horoscope below, upper right, you see how revolutionary, rebellious Uranus @00Tau31 Rx snugs against the IC of the chart, the HOW? Point and Basis or Foundation of the Matter. And there's We The People's Moon conjunct Uranus which denotes excited people particularly women, plus, as noted on the chart, the Moon-Uranus pair suggests potentials for 'a sudden manifestation of subconscious forces (such as the Collective of the American people); those with special aims, and/or female reformists. So...Lunation Uranus conjunct lunation IC = incumbent loss, or as I prefer to put it, A Blue Tsunami!

Plus, you see the Oct 24th Full Moon light spilling out onto the public (North Node in Leo, sign of natural leadership and point of public contact) and the 'Tail of the Dragon', South Node, almost conjunct US POTUS Sun which in 2017, fell @00AQ48 = Trump playing the role of POTUS. The Dragon's Saturnian Tail will swipe or smack US POTUS Sun, the Presidency, on October 27, 2018 (horoscope shown).

Now I'm quite certain the ruling patriarchs, many of whom are advocates of Puritanism of a most hypocritical kind (I know because apparently I have Puritan ancestry as do many of us), (marvel at Chuck Grassley's stone face) won't agree that their current Koch (Murdoch-Mercer-foreign-govts) task of shoving the US government toward the regressive 'right' is unacceptable to a vast majority of Americans but I believe that this is the case. For who in her right mind would ever choose to live under a totalitarian, draconian, bossy regime led by a decrepit group of what seem to be the 'top choice' of global criminals in the bunch plus their political operatives and handmaidens?

For more Oct 24th chart details see The Syzygy Moon of the 2018 Midterms.

Anyway, with optimism for America I'm reaching out to the planets of the chart/s, above, for aid for our nation! We need it because, lower, left is the the New Moon Horoscope of October 8, 2018 @15Lib48 (conjunct US natal Saturn 14Lib48 suggesting a new cycle starting with the goal of undermining further of the US legal system including the US Supreme Court) so that the American public is left with no US institution or branch of government to depend on as before (to the extent that we could). Our best opportunity to re-create some level of balance in our governmental system and support the Republic is to take part in a Blue Tsunami by Voting Blue on November 6, 2018. For, as you see in the October 24th chart, The Establishment planet Saturn rises in his own sign and is the Thales Planet or Point aiding both the Sun and the Moon during their opposition, a sign of fulfillment or culmination of a plan seeded at the October 8, 2018 New Moon conjunct US natal Saturn--our 1776 Saturn exalted in Libra, sign of the Scales of Justice--now unfortunately progressed into Scorpio and retrograde since 1996 when the authority of the US Presidency came under attack by the same forces that continue to sabotage our nation today.

To me, true patriotism must involve protecting our nation from outside infiltrators and foreign criminals who would rule us with No Consent From The Governed--precisely the opposite of what America was and is meant to be. Is it time for compromised politicians to spill the beans on who intimidates them and to begin naming names?

That may never happen but what we can do is to Vote on November 6th--all the ladies and the younger generations 18 and older will be there, carrying their surf boards no less!

Lunar Tracking Donald Trump at Davos 2018

Trump to Speak at Davos 2018: Moon as Timer and Describer of the Public Mood

by Jude Cowell

On Friday January 26, 2018 at 1:00 pm GMT, Donald Trump is scheduled to deliver a speech of some sort at the annual Davos Conference in Davos, Switzerland, said to be the last world leader to speak this year. His theme: "America is open for business" apparently. Briefly, let's look at the positions of the Moon in relation to the Aquarian Sun for a bit of behind-the-scenes information. As you've probably heard, some attendees are said to be planning a walk-out during Trump's speech even though his White House tenure has been 'good for business,' as some say.

Now since we hear in the US that Mr. Trump takes a while to get going in the mornings (and jet lag may be a factor for the 71-year-old), a 10:00 am curtain call would have been too stressful for his nibs yet this is the moment on Friday that the Moon @24Tau52 precisely conjoins his natal Midheaven, the Goals-and-Aspirations Point of any chart--and he adores publicity (signified by the Moon). However, as she floats through the rest of Taurus, Luna will meet with the difficult stars of the Pleiades constellation, stars of rage and fury, plus, Moon opposes Mars in Scorpio which is hardly the most welcoming or delightful picture of acceptance for the controversial US representative.

In fact, a Moon-Mars opposition suggests angry conflicts and complaints but we don't need Astrology to tell us that Mr. Trump's nationalistic "America First" agenda (and bigotry) will cause trouble, even turmoil abroad as it does domestically. Certainly turmoil has already occurred via anti-Trump protesters at Davos (and across the globe!) and the Taurean intolerance for him seems very likely to continue through most of Friday. Yes, the Moon will be in Venus-ruled Taurus, a money and luxury-loving sign, as Trump speaks at 1:00 pm GMT, assuming that the schedule goes as planned. A Taurus Moon? Then someone had better take royal care of the precious Donald the way he thinks he merits!

Then at 6:39:30 pm GMT, the Moon enters Gemini and immediately reaches fixed star Alcyone @00Gemini00 with its keywords, "something to cry about" -- even though double-air Sun AQ-Moon Gemini is a lighter combo of energies than the Air-Earth combo of Sun AQ-Moon Taurus earlier in the day. So with any mundane Moon sign signifying the public mood, we may expect the population to show obstinacy and perhaps possessiveness under a Taurus Moon, but a more flippant attitude once Luna is in light-hearted Gemini. One reason for this could be that Mr. Trump may have cleared out of Davos by or before the Moon reaches Mercurial Gemini which is what yours truly would suggest!

For as one of my mother's favorite sayings goes, Never go where you're not invited, never stay where you're merely tolerated. Good advice for Donald Trump, no?

And, on a similar note, remember the olden days back in 2011 when Dubya Bush cancelled a Swiss visit in order to avoid protests--and arrest?!.

Astro-Notes: Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell


Back in 2010 when the Affordable Care Act ('Obamacare') legislation was all the Republican rage around Washington and elsewhere and the GOPers were well into their mantra of "Make Obama Fail", I posted a few astro-notes concerning the (noon) natal chart of Senator Mitch McConnell with a gracious helping of President Obama's planets tossed in for comparison's sake. You're welcome to read those notes if you wish (sans edits).

Now with the delayed glare of 'Trumpcare' upon it, here is the noon horoscope I then used for Senator McConnell whose Moon is in either Mars-ruled Aries or Venus-ruled Taurus; this is only a saved copy so hopefully you can enlarge the image enough to read it as you wish:

Now for biographical information, Politico's 2013 Profile of Kentucky Senator McConnell remains interesting. And if you haven't, be certain to check out master astrologer Marjorie Orr's article US Midterm Elections 2018: Stressed and Unpleasant as I expect they very much will be and rigged as well. Because aren't all elections rigged nowadays?
