Astro-Notes: America's Saturn-Neptune Cycle

by Jude Cowell, partisan for the common good

Considering the massive social and political shifts occurring these days, here are two images for you on the topic of the Saturn-Neptune combination of energies in society:

1. A bi-wheel with what I suspect is the beginning of America's Saturn-Neptune Cycle (center; September 27, 1773 @18Vir42:53 - conjunct Mercury 18:50) surrounded by the DC Horoscope of the February 20, 2026 Saturn-Neptune Conjunction at the Cardinal Aries Point of World Events:

2. A dual image showing the Saturn-Neptune Conjunction of September 27, 1773 @18Vir42:53 conjunct Mercury (upper right) and the February 20, 2026 Saturn-Neptune Conjunction (lower left):

Of significance is (what I call) a cosmic time link from 1773 to 2026 created by the Pre-Event Eclipse of 1773 ('PE'; Total) in the 10 North Saros Series because a 10 North Eclipse repeats on February 17, 2026 (Annular) and - surprise! - 10 North is the 'PE' of the February 20, 2026 Saturn-Neptune Conjunction @28AQ49.

Therefore, 10 North themes closely link to Saturn-Neptune energies in the US and elsewhere with the planetary duo's multiplicity of potentials.

10 North themes: 'emphasis on communications; frustration or inhibitions regarding news, paperwork, and/or young people; sense of drained energy and fatigue; work through difficulties one at a time' (paraphrasing B. Brady).

Initial 10 North: April 25, 944 (OS) @9Tau53 conjunct Mercury Rx @10Tau04.

Since we know that history tends to rhyme, a look at historical Events of 1773 could be instructive for the curious reader, especially when it comes to the topic of cups of tea.

And for a deeper dive into history, try Events of 944.

July-August 2025 Lunations - and Regulus

by Jude Cowell, partisan for the common good

As you see in the DC Horoscope below, fixed star Regulus, the "little king" star, features prominently in the August 23, 2025 New Moon Horoscope.

But first, have a look at a dual image of two charts - the New Moon of July 24th @2Leo08 (lower left and opposed by Pluto Rx @2AQ36 which suggests critical phases of development, plus, reversion to the brutal animalism now operating in society), and the July 24th New Moon's subsequent Full Moon of August 9, 2025 @16AQ59:55 (upper right) when some sort of culmination or fulfillment of plans can occur - likely in the technological (cyber/AI) spheres of development which includes surveillance and subversion along with a generous measure of arrogance, squandering, and theatricality mixed in:

And below is the DC Horoscope of the August 23, 2025 New Moon conjunct royal star Regulus with aspect grid included. As you know, a New Moon can behave in similar Uranian fashion to a Solar Eclipse (a wild card: disruptive, course-changing, a cosmic blink) while a Full Moon can have similar effects as a Lunar Eclipse: revelatory, casting a bright glare upon inconvenient facts or secrets that may lead to scandal):

Then if we treat the August 23, 2025 New Moon as if it's a Solar Eclipse, aspects to the lunation become significant especially considering current events and the actors perpetrating them. They are:

Saturn inconjunct: freeloaders with no sense of duty or responsibility;

Neptune inconjunct: escapists who can't or won't face reality and who carry enormous karmic debts they tend to project upon others;

Pluto inconjunct: brutal, violent people with no sense of right or wrong;

Uranus square: people indifferent to the needs of society with an uncaring attitude toward humanity. In other words, anti-societal people such as criminals, gangsters, thieves, political extremists and zealots.

Then as you likely know, Regulus rises in the natal chart of a man some call Donny John; therefore, the inconjuncts in the YOD pattern/s, plus, the square from radical Uranus, also spotlight this particular deviant. So if these aspects remind you of anyone currently behaving corruptly in politics, then we're on the same page.

July 10, 2025: a Capricorn Full Moon casts a bright spotlight

by Jude Cowell

"When one with honeyed words but evil mind persuades the mob, great woes befall the state."

- Euripides, his play Orestes first presented in 408 B.C.E.

Caution Advised: the following post may not be suitable for sensitive readers. jc

Previously discussed here on SO'W is the Capricorn Full Moon of July 10, 2025 @18Cap50:02 which conjuncts and spotlights the *Uranus-Neptune Conjunction/s of 1993 (3x: @18-20 Capricorn). In the past, this duo has symbolized The Enlightenment combination of planetary energies and principles (Science + Faith) but due to recent political and social developments in the US and elsewhere, we find that the illuminating energies have been darkened and are now utilized by "bad faith actors" - by a criminal conspiracy of gangsters (aka, mobsters) - those of the Neptune-Pluto persuasion (organized/underworld criminal networks, now in charge of government).

Then in 2017, transit Pluto reached the Uranus-Neptune Conjunction degree area (1993) thus directly activating a midpoint picture of "The big picture commands a certain course of action, little option to do otherwise" (N. Tyl). If this reminds you of the iconic mobster slogan of "an offer that can't be refused," then we're on the same page. And we know that in US politics, such threats of force have been and are being made, subtly via AR-15 lapel pins worn in Congress, and worse by violent acts.

Full Moon July 10, 2025 4:36:45 pm edt Washington DC; Mars conjunct MC:

So as you may have noticed, the world is being turned into a "prison planet," an outcome that sane folk have dreaded and fought against for years; notably, its figurehead in the US is Mr. Tr*mp, a deft, propagandizing con man who shows an innate ability to fool and exploit millions of people.

Meanwhile, there's a vintage website I first discovered years ago via Alex Jones (who's apparently joined the dark side if he hadn't before) promoting his film The Endgame which is all about the NWO as a "Blueprint for Global Enslavement" ("They Want You Dead").

As it turns out, and as many people clearly see, this is no addle-headed conspiracy theory, for it directly relates to the current GOP purge agenda to depopulate the planet, thereby leaving all resources for the elite to enjoy by dispensing with the rest of us. So here's a vintage SO'W post from 2012 including links that may or may not be secure so obviously you would not type in any personal data or order anything from the site. However, if you're curious about such topics which affect us all, see Another Pope Calling for World Government and a New World Order (2012 = Pope Benedict). The aforementioned Prison Planet link is included in the post.

Capricorn: Government, Law, Business

And so on a symbolic level, the July 10th Full Moon culminates or fulfills something specific that was planned or put in motion at or around the previous New Moon (4Can08) of June 25th conjunct America's 1776 Jupiter (5:56) so that the July 4, 2025 signing by Tr*mp of the Big ___ Bill, making 2017's massive tax breaks for billionaires permanent while forcing millions of the American people into financial penury and causing the loss of health insurance, food assistance for the needy, and hospitals to close - reveals the Bill's true character as a reverse Robin Hood strategy to transfer wealth upwards.

Obviously, the current crop of economic royalists and neo-Naz*s give new meaning to US Jupiter's Sabian Symbol (6 Cancer): "Game Birds Feathering Their Nest." And boy have they, more than ever before!

Full Moon = Uran-Nept: shared upsets, conflicts; illusions and deceptions

Now here's a link to a DC Horoscope showing the third of three *Uranus-Neptune Conjunctions with the pair's energies described as markers of a "New World Order" which is nothing if not a new financial order. And it seems worth a reminder that current events and reforms have been in the planning stages for many years as we watch their implementation now in 2025 and beyond, by their purge agenda and all. Well planned, fully funded, these sinister operatives of a death cult (as in the 1930s and 1940s) are being unmasked as I type so thanks for reading if you made it this far.

And if we wonder based on Eclipses what years 2025--2027 correspond to in the 1930s, that would be 1935 into 1937. You may also wish to also check out Events of 1936 since history does tend to rhyme.

Concerning these topics, additional consideration might be warranted regarding the carvings on the now-defunct Georgia Guidestones which counseled limiting the global population. Curiously, the monument was blown to smithereens by "unknown" vandals on July 6, 2022 - tomorrow being the third anniversary of their destruction.

A Post to Inform Those Who Appreciate Such Information

And so in closing, we can gain a general idea of the future Uranian energies that will run in the background of society, disrupting earthly events and/or changing their courses, by checking out a list of the Eclipses of 2026 and 2027, solar eclipse themes included. One solar eclipse in particular is of long duration which may be translated into years of influence (7:51) with its themes melding into the themes of future eclipses for the next 7+ years.

Mega-Bill passes at US Solar and Jupiter Returns 2025

"Game Birds Feathered Their Nests" Big Time Today!

by Jude Cowell, partisan for the common good

Well, I don't know about you, dear reader, but this has been an unusually exhausting week as Congress members voted on Tr*mp's "Mega-Bill." By now you know that Republicans reached their goal earlier today voting between 2:07 and 2:27 pm edt to pass the monstrosity with the obliging Libra Moon rising and millions of lives on the line. Thing is, the obliging was to please Mr. T, and to satiate his wealthy donors and enablers - and not for We the People at all. If we ever had any doubt, America is now officially Plutocrats-Are-Us.

What a 249th Birthday Gift for America the Mega-Bill will be!

So here you see a dual image of US Solar Return 2025 (lower left) and US Jupiter Return 2025 (upper right) - perfecting within hours of each other. Abundant astro-notes are penned on for the curious reader, but I'm really too wumped out to type it for you in a text right now so please make of the Return charts what you can:

Trump’s Mega Bill: Medicaid Cut to Fund Billionaire Donor Welfare - David Cay Johnston

If SO'W readers wish, they can find expert information from investigative journalist David Cay Johnston who has studied and written for years about the crimes of Mr. T:

In case this video is removed, here's a link to it on The Mark Thompson Show channel.

Reader Alert: some of the following information may not be suitable for all readers. jc

But for the curious reader, here's a link to a post written and published on the very day that Mr. T signed the massive GOP corporate welfare bill on December 22, 2017. This is the bill he's desperate to extend through the passage of the "Big Fugly Bill" of July 2025 which will take away Medicaid and other life saving programs from the American people in order to facilitate a massive wealth transfer upwards.

However, sly dogs as they are, the carnage really begins after the 2026 Midterms so as not to affect potential GOP voters (if elections are held at all). By then voters will forget that some pundits are now calling the legislative abomination Mr. T's "murder bill" and the words "genocide of the masses" come to mind along with their 2025 Purge agenda which we've discussed here in prior posts.

Then let's remember Mr. T's revealing 12th house midpoint picture lodged within his Unconscious: Pluto = Mars-Saturn (the death axis) with its deaths of many people potential, according to Reinhold Ebertin.

So with Mr. T and his Maga comrades in Congress determined to deal a death blow to millions of Americans, it seems significant to yours truly that The Great American Eclipse of August 21, 2017 @29Leo landed, not just upon the orange blighter's natal Ascendant/Mars/Apollo/Regulus grouping with his Saturn-Neptune midpoint rising, but also upon Medicare-Medicaid's 1965 Mercury, planet of bills, agreements, contracts, and those who vote for them. You'll remember that the eclipse Path of Totality in 2017 (1 North) split our country from the West Coast of Oregon to the East Coast of South Carolina.

So to close this fussy post, here's a little sashay down memory lane:

1 North themes: "Unexpected events place pressure on relationships and issues loom large; make no hasty decisions because information is distorted and possibly false; tiredness and health problems are attached to this eclipse" (paraphrasing B. Brady's Predictive Astrology #ad).

Possibly?

Senate Passes Destructive Trump Bill 2025

You Weren't Using That Health Insurance Were You?

by Jude Cowell, partisan for the common good

By now everyone has heard of the US Senate passing Tr*mp's Big Fugly Bill earlier today so this will be a quick posting of the 119th Congress Horoscope (Jan 3, 2025; inner) surrounded by today's speculatively timed Horoscope set for the Rising of the Virgo Moon (12:16:34 pm edt) @28Virgo: "A Bald-Headed Man Dominates a Gathering of National Figures" (wonder who?). That's Virgo, sign of health and employment.

Added will be Dane Rudhyar's details concerning this degree below the image along with a dual chart showing voting Mercury's upcoming Retrograde and Direct Stations (July and August 2025) in Leo.

We may expect that Mercury's path in July and August will echo the 'Fugly Bill's path' as well since the legislation must now be sent to the House to be reconciled for final passage before the Leonine Mr. T can sign it - he hopes by July 4th or thereafter.

Well, perhaps this won't be over until its over. Today Senate Minority leader Chuck Schumer says Democrats will continue fighting against the bill's provisions in July, August, and onward.

Significant in relation to this financial topic is the Midheaven degree and its Symbol for "28Gemini" = "BANKRUPTCY." Is this bill part of the Republican goal (MC) to cause America to go bankrupt? Or to "avoid" it by making cuts that cause hardship for The People while economic royalists are richly rewarded?

See what you think:

Moon rising @28Virgo: "A Bald-Headed Man Dominates--" = "THE POWER OF THE WILL - divine, executively human, or Satanic" (An Astrological Mandala, Rudhyar, #ad). He adds, "traumatic decisions are made."

Nov 2025 New Moon: Stars and Fog

"Almost" a Star of David

by Jude Cowell, partisan for a Common Good America

Here you see the DC Horoscope of the November 20, 2025 Scorpio New Moon @28Sco11:54 so the lunation is basically a Birthday New Moon for former President Joe Biden, and it's much more besides:

Due to time contraints on this Friday afternoon, I must let my scribbled astro-notes on the chart speak for themselves although publishing future posts concerning the November 2025 New Moon cannot be ruled out.

One reason is because of current events in the Middle East and Mr. T's interference in them coupled by the fact that the horoscope above shows multiple planetary patterns including an "almost" Star of David pattern which, when qualified, is known as a "war star."

However, the two triangles (trines) you see (highlighted in red - one pointing upward toward Heaven, the other downward toward Earth) do not technically form a "Star of David," if memory serves, and so I refer you to the expert astrologer who first introduced me to the intriguing pattern during our phone consultation Mary Fortier Shea.

Yet I would be remiss not to mention two of the above planets affecting the Pentagon 1942 Horoscope and thus our nation, for they are significant: 2025 Pluto opposing 1942 Pluto (a no-compromise power struggle), and America's "death star" (pentagram: the Pentagon) now in process of having its first-ever Uranus Return (unorthodox behavior). This is not comforting, I agree - especially with the rebellious Uranus-Pluto pair now conjunct Aries Point of World Events via their midpoint (7th house), and transit Neptune once again @29Pisces, a critical degree, and conjunct the star of extreme misfortune, Scheat.

Now to close this consarned fuss: when it comes to the uncertainties of war, it's always a good idea to remember America's 1776 Mars-Neptune square so here's a TMA post by Mary Plumb regarding the baked-in square's energies and its unfortunate possibility of forecasting the "fog of war".

NATO Horoscope and Summit June 2025

by Jude Cowell, partisan for the common good

Details: NATO Summit June 24-25, 2025 at The Hague, Netherlands.

A request has been received to publish here the NATO Horoscope. Actually, there are four such horoscopes in my files so below you see a dual image of 'NATO founded' (April 4, 1949; upper right) and NATO (August 24, 1949: President Truman signed the entity into existence; lower left). Timings were verified years ago to be as accurate as possible based on historical records but if you prefer other timings, you do you).

This morning's New Moon @4Can08 conjoined NATO's 9th house Uranus in its August 24, 1949 Horoscope ('unusual twists of fate' - Munkasey) while simultaneously conjoining America's 1776 Venus-Jupiter (thinking of new ways of coping) and the natal Sun of Elon Musk (focusing on fame, popularity, and daily events). As for Tr*mp, his attendance means little other than a disruption and there is a Jupiter-Neptune with more Neptune vibe that suggests his ideas are seen as odd and/or unclear - which we already know!:

Since NATO was set up and became operative in 1949, it seems significant that a New Moon @00Vir39 perfected the evening prior -- at 11:59:01 pm edt to be precise, seconds before midnight on August 23, 1949 - with a New Moon identifying the beginning of a cycle and "pregnant" with plans in process of being hatched and implemented. So here's the 4th house New Moon Horoscope with aspect grid that relates to the establishment of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization:

The final NATO chart in my files has been previously published due to the fact that the 6 South Solar Eclipse of October 25, 2022 @2Scorpio landed directly upon NATO's August 24, 1949 Ascendant with 6S themes of being forceful, taking power; manic energy; sudden events; huge effort in a group activities (paraphrasing B. Brady).

You might recognize 6 South as the solar influence running in the background during the 2022 Midterms when Maga/neo-Nazis and Christian Nationalists of the bossy theocratic (holier-than-thou) persuasion managed to infiltrate the US House of Representatives, proudly sporting AK-47 lapel pins, and some of whom like the fact that the GOP now amounts to a death cult:

So there ya go, 4 horoscopes that directly concern NATO, and Thanks a Bunch for reading! Jude

Astro-Notes: US Bombs Iran 2025

by Jude Cowell, partisan for the common good

Below are two horoscopic images for you - one a bi-wheel with the Department of Defense (DOD) Horoscope July 26, 1947 (inner; as signed by President Truman minutes before his plane took off at 12:30 pm) surrounded by the US Bombs Iran Horoscope set for June 21, 2025 2:30 am IT Qom, Iran.

Below the bi-wheel is a stand-alone chart with aspect grid of Tr*mp's failure; as you see, nuclear planet Pluto, the assassin, conjuncts the Bombing's Midheaven, the Goal Point. There are YOD patterns of crisis and reaching a crossroads, but more than a mention is beyond the scope of this brief post:

History Rhymes Through Similar Events

A particular factor must be mentioned and that is the Pre-Event ('PE') Solar Eclipse which influenced the founding of the US Defense Department - the 3 North which manifested @28Tau41:59 on May 20, 1947 with themes of "over-excessive or obsessive energy; large plans are wanted but don't get carried away; news that may involve young people - and can transform a situation" (paraphrasing B. Brady). Perhaps you recognize 3 North themes as the Series in which the WTC attacks of 9/11/01 occurred.

Needless to say, the neocons of 2001 got "carried away" and hence we're hearing comparisons between Tr*mp's bombing of Iran's nuclear facilities and America's ill-conceived invasion and war against the Bush-Cheney regime's chosen scapegoats of Afghanistan and Iraq.

Neptunian deceptions are involved both then and now with 2025 Neptune in early Aries aligning in opposition to its 1947 position in Libra. This transit heralds a period of religious and civil persecutions along with clashes of ideals and ideologies, some generational (1947 vs 2025). Yet underneath, East vs West is a basic feature of this period.

Then in the bi-wheel chart we see the Bombing's Uranus @29Tau12 conjunct 1947 North Node, an indicator of karma and of radical reactionary politics. Simultaneously, Uranus conjuncts the 3 North of 1947. And as you know, all eclipses are karmic and Uranian by nature (unpredictable and disruptive) and erratic Uranus conjunct this Eclipse provides us with a cosmic picture of zealots, anarchists, and radical revolutionaries via our current day insurrectionists who call themselves "Maga" and who act as an elite gang of vigilantes, saboteurs, gangsters, thieves, and Republican "politicians" - all who now attack our nation on multiple levels and sport AK-47 pins on their anti-American lapels.

In closing, here's a previous post concerning a related topic, video included, and it's not as far-fetched as we would wish: Will the Tr*mp Admministration Bring on the New Crusades?
