The Assassination Eclipse of JFK

--"--to ensure the survival and success of liberty--" - JFK Inaugural Address January 20, 1961 Capitol Building Washington DC

Our Karmic Loss Echoes Through the Decades

by Jude Cowell, partisan for democracy

Today, in November 2023, the American people are engaged in a fight for democracy and the liberty that comes along with it. Our complete rejection of Fascism and Nazism is necessary in every possible way including Voting Blue in Election 2024 - otherwise all our democratic geese will be cooked and swallowed by barbarians.

Now if you've visited SO'W before, you may know that in previous posts I have referred to the Assassination of President John F. Kennedy as, The Day America Died. Obviously, the restless Uranus-Pluto Conjunction/s of the mid-1960s strongly influenced events with the planetary duo's 'old order collapses, construction of the new order' (R. Ebertin) implication as a major suspect in the crime although their conjunction was yet to become exact in mid-Virgo (3x in 1965/66).

Now below with my study notes intact is a view of the 1 North Solar Eclipse of 1963 @27Can24 in 9th house when the chart is set for Dallas, TX; when a solar eclipse manifests in Moon-ruled Cancer, emotional extremes hinder karmic progress (ex: the election of a Catholic president ruffled the feathers of many Americans). As you see, 1 North themes of 'distorted or false information, unexpected events, and/or health problems, fatigue' (Brady) are written across the top of the chart and are highlighted in orange; JFK's natal positions (b. May 29, 1917) are penned around the chart and highlighted in turquoise:

Of course, a variety of cosmic influences were in force as well, and a basic one running in the background of society is the eclipse cycle during which the Assassination of JFK occurred. As noted, that would be the 1 North Eclipse of July 20, 1963 @27Can24. Tellingly, this Total eclipse in the 1 North series ("The Mother of All Eclipses" being numero uno) opposed US 1776 Pluto (Rx @27Cap33) and this contact reveals that the tragic murder of President Kennedy was perpetrated at a critical point in America's karmic evolution.

So we know that in 1963, We the People and the US government which was created to represent our interests, were striving for higher attainment on the evolutionary or spiritual scale (his election was very uplifting for our country, as I remember!); otherwise we would revert to animalism, primal violence, and brutality (Pluto). How different our society could have been!

And so I'm saddened to say that animalism - purposefully chosen to change our national direction and to wound and hamper the American people - was the choice of the enemies of JFK and his administration because his and RFK's reforms were unacceptable to certain people of a criminal persuasion - those who will do whatever it takes to reach their objectives (exs: mobsters; certain wealthy elites). And yes, we're now mired within a cycle of animalism as I type, with violent acts regularly threatened by Herr Trump, his comrades foreign and domestic, and his gullible cult followers - bashing against the US Justice System.

Eclipses: Uranian Wild Cards of the Universe

Simultaneously, another 1963 contact, this one to JFK's natal Saturn, is quite instructive because the 1 North Eclipse @27Can24 landed directly upon his Saturn (27Can09) indicating that he was the president of the hour with the responsibility, know-how, and the discipline to carry out society's required directives. This contact also suggests that JFK was well equipped to handle the duties of office, and that he took a serious view of his karmic obligations (R. Lineman) - exactly what the office of the presidency requires.

Yet as you know, eclipses disrupt events on Earth and can lead humanity into an entirely new direction similarly to the action of the erratic planet of chaos, Uranus, with Total eclipses being especially strong.

As for assassination stopping him in his tracks, JFK's natal Saturn is the apex planet of his Sun-Moon midpoint of vitality, but on a mundane level, this trio can denote 'smears on the national reputation' (Munkasey) which is indicated with the solar eclipse (Sun-Moon) conjunct JFK's natal Saturn. Yet on a personal level, his midpoint picture thus created indicates 'addressing problems' positively, but negatively suggests 'a weakened system' (his health issues are well known, but governmental systems are also involved since karmically speaking, how goes a president, so goes the nation). A potential for Saturnian 'separation' (R. Ebertin) is also suggested and, as it turned out, was the tragic outcome for the Kennedy family and for our nation.

And so this sorriness of grief and loss is how the 1 North Eclipse of July 20, 1963 affected President Kennedy's natal Saturn (at Midheaven and fully visible to the world), his planet of sober leadership, duty, responsibility, and karma on The Day America Died. Meanwhile, manipulative Pluto, the assassin, via its 1776 position, was opposed by the 1 North while Eclipse Saturn formed an obstructive sesqui-square of complexity to President Kennedy's natal Pluto at this, his Nodal Half Return of destiny.

And you may wish to read about the eternal flame that Jacqueline Kennedy requested for her husband's grave in Arlington National Cemetery.

1 North Eclipses also manifested in the years 1909, 1927, 1945 (Trinity Test), {1963}, 1981 (as the Reaganomics Eclipse),1999 (as the 'Fixed Grand Cross Eclipse' found in The Book of Revelation which Nostradamus warned against due to its 'terror' implications), 2017 (as The Great American Eclipse conjunct royal star Regulus and Herr Trump's natal Ascendant).

Meanwhile, the next 1 North Eclipse occurs on September 2, 2035 @9Virgo, and the very first occurrence of a 1 North manifested on January 4, 1639 @13Cap48 which means that all subsequent 1 Norths may be more clearly viewed through a Saturnian lens which can add themes of avariciousness, selfishness, and greed to the proceedings, or, on a higher level, can indicate 'old souls' teaching others to walk the sober, responsible, and conscientious path that leads to karmic progress.

Astrology Weighs In

by Jude Cowell, partisan for the common good

JFK Assassination Horoscope Nov 22, 1963 12:30 pm CST Dallas, TX:

And here is a Synastry Grid displaying JFK natal planets (horizontal) with Assassination Planets (vertical); a few potentials of the transits-to-natal contacts are penned on the grid but represent only a sampling of possibilities that existed on The Day America Died:

John Fitzgerald Kennedy born May 29, 1917 3:00 pm EST (RR:A) Brookline, Massachusetts: Sun 7Gem51; Moon 17Vir13; ASC 20Libra; Chiron 29Pis25; 8th house Vertex of Fate 17Tau57 conj Mars 18Tau25; MC 23Can46 conj Saturn 27Can09 with Neptune 2Leo40; 9th house Pluto 3Can16 near South Node 11Can14 and you'll note that JFK's death occurred during his Nodal Half Return, a transit which times breaks in relationships that are no longer useful or positive, and when 'difficult' meetings may occur.

Astro-Notes re: JFK's Unaspected natal Sun in Gemini

On the Occasion of the 58th Anniversary of The Day America Died

Often these days in Astrology, a native born with an unaspected Sun (personality, essence, vitality, adult self, the goal, the hero's journey) is considered to be charismatic and perhaps as self-centered, even vain. Plus, a special talent may also be described by the sign, sign ruler, planet, and the house placement involved. An unaspected natal Sun is the case for our tragically assassinated US President John Fitzgerald Kennedy (RR: A; May 29, 1917 3:00 pm est Brookline, MA; ASC 20Lib00, 8th house Sun 7Gem51, 11th house Moon 17Vir13; MC 23Can46 with Saturn 27Can09 and Neptune 2Leo40 conjunct MC from the 10th house side {Plac}).

If natal Saturn in natal 10th house of Public Status indicates one whose life and career include a "fall from grace" (if Saturn's demands are neglected), then I think JFK's Saturn-Neptune Conjunction there adds a large measure of loss, grief, and suffering to the cosmic picture of his downfall along with the planetary pair's tendency toward 'undermining circumstances' (R. Ebertin) and bad social conditions.

Yet instead of re-publishing the JFK Assassination Horoscope (November 22, 1963 12:30 pm cst Dallas, TX), here are a few general details concerning a natal unaspected Sun for the curious including info on other planets when not tied in with or connected to other planets via Ptolemaic (major) aspects in a natal chart.

Horoscope: LBJ Sworn In on November 22, 1963

Horoscope: Lyndon B. Johnson Sworn In On Board Air Force One

by Jude Cowell

With this Friday, November 22, 2013, being the 50th anniversary of the assassination of President John F. Kennedy, much of media is devoted to bringing the public all manner of programs concerning the Day America Died and the conspiracy theories which continue to swirl about. For one, Friday evening beginning at 7:00 pm EST, MSNBC airs topical programs which crescendo at 9:00 pm est with Rev. Al Sharpton hosting 50 Years of Guns.

Here's a round up of TV coverage concerning the 50th anniversary of the assassination.

Yes, wallowing in the eternal mystery of JFK's murder seems to be required for the 50th anniversary and it's certainly understandable considering The Coup's subsequent effects upon our nation including Johnson's escalation of the Vietnam War and the lucrative expansion of the US military. But how about a view of the horoscope of Lyndon Johnson's presidential swearing-in on board Air Force One prior to its take-off from Dallas on November 22, 1963? The record shows the ceremony occurred at 2:38 pm.

Naturally, the planets remain in their zodiacal positions from 12:30 pm, the time of the shooting with the Aquarian Moon moving one degree closer to depressive Saturn, and the cusps changing signs--Ascending in the swearing-in chart you see below is 5Aries45 (ASC was in Aquarius with Saturn and the Aquarian Moon barely risen at 12:30 pm.) This makes Mars the LBJ presidency and oath-taking chart-ruler with the sign and house position of Mars @20Sag35 (Sagittarius being the natural sign of the 9th house of Foreign Lands and Philosophies) all important. And perhaps a chart-ruler applying to no other planets is similar to the out-of-bounds (OOBs) condition: no one can interfere with what's intended to be done, and/or things will not turn out as expected.

You also notice that LBJ is in process of a Jupiter-to-natal-Saturn transit, a time when one may rid oneself of a restriction (as noted in my scribbles, upper right of the chart.) Well, he is credited by some researchers as the executor of the JFK assassination, or at least, may have had a part in the charade. LBJ, did, after all, benefit greatly from Kennedy's death. Or he assumed he would as 'leader of the free world'!

Hour: Sun; Mercury, Venus, and Mars are OOBs; LBJ's natal Saturn is his first natal planet to rise along with transit Jupiter @9Ari48 Rx, and LBJ's natal Uranus-NN midpoint of radical politics is caught up, too...Ura-NN = n Saturn: encountering difficulties with others; accepting control by group vote; Ura-NN = tr Jupiter: the big opportunity comes to those who demand it (Tyl.) The Sun (leader) remains at a critical crisis 29th degree but rounding up we have: '30Sco' = "A Halloween Jester." Sun is also involved with the cruel Saturn-Pluto midpoint which denotes much toil and sparing no pains in one's work. (Tyl.) This must apply to JFK and then to LBJ.

Two YOD patterns with crisis and 'special task' implications, are seen (please click image to enlarge) with NN @11Can55 the apex of one YOD, and the Uranus-Pluto conjunction at apex of the other (though this YOD was tighter at 12:30 pm.) Uranus-Pluto on one level denotes 'overturning the status quo' and this somebody or some group obviously did in the showiest way imaginable. As far as the Grassy Knoll theory of at least two shooters, it's always seemed interesting to me that the Sabian Symbol for '10Virgo' (the position of anarchistic Uranus) is: "Two Heads Looking Out and Beyond the Shadows." And of course, vengeful Pluto is the assassin and the saboteur--or, the wealthy patron of such criminal actions.

You'll also note that oath-taking Mercury @9Sag53 conjoins Antares whose keywords show an obsession with success and leanings toward war.

Let's close with the Water-Air Sun Sco-Moon AQ blend's 'Images for Integration' to describe that sad day in Dallas: "A hovering hawk surveys the world, at one with nature" which reminds me of the book depository window in Masonic Dealey Plaza, and "An exotic moth emerges from its chrysalis, in perfect form, a specimen of the sublimity of nature's intelligence." (Charles & Suzi Harvey.)

Can you see the newly emerging President Johnson in the horoscope and in the Image!

For your further consideration, here are three previous posts, one concerning the assassination of Robert F. Kennedy, one that contains a video presentation on the mysterious death of JFK Jr, and the third post on the Sun Sco-Moon AQ blend of the JFK assassination. May all three Kennedys rest in peace.
