February 5, 2021: According to The Independent, the US Senate convenes for Trump's Senate Impeachment Trial "around midday" on Tuesday February 9, 2021. Whether senators will convict and/or vote to deny the insurrectionist the ability to run for office in future is anyone's guess at this point. However, a peek at a 12:00 noon est horoscope set for Capitol Hill, February 9, 2021 may be of interest to some while annoying to others who favored Trump's authoritarian coup attempt against the US government on January 6, 2021. Basic chart notes are penned on:
As you see, chart-ruler Mercury @18AQ39 is retrograde which hopefully only shows that this is the US Senate's second go-round trying to hold Trump accountable for his actions but if we look ahead to Mercury's movements in relation to this chart, we find The Messenger planet turning Direct on February 20th @11AQ01 so Jupiter @12AQ07 will again be conjoined suggesting an expansion of discussions or plans, news about legal issues, and/or the involvement of religious figures in the situation. However, Jupiter is also the broadcaster, politician, General, guru, big banker, and corporatist or CEO. Obviously, the roles of journalists, reporters, and talking heads will be on display (MC) through the entire process, plus, Mercury's Rx condition as chart-ruler can also denote delays and other obstacles gumming up the works - and results may not turn out as expected (see Uranus rising, below).
For clues about how things will proceed, let's consider the three applying aspects of Mercury:
1. Square Mars (1A23) suggests incorrect information or directions, frustration, provoked anger, strong opinions or quarrels. 2. Conjunct Jupiter (6A32) is noted, above; 3. Conjunct Venus (8A29) suggests that advice or ideas concerning legal matters, joint ventures, and cooperation, plus, contract negotiations, and/or discussions about common goals with allies are apt to occur. Gossip is also a possibility.
Now here are a few more chart factors of note:
ASC 8Gem28 = US natal Uranus (unexpected or unusual events, disruptions, chaos, and/or coping ability - our totem planet of rebellion and anarchy, here representing the January 6th upheaval), and the Moon-Pluto Conjunction @25Cap16/29 in the 9th house of Legal Affairs. Therefore, a consideration of the potentials of the intense Moon-Pluto duo is in order:
"Thesis: The people's opinion about subjects like crime, war, or internal secrecy; the role of women in controlling self-destructive impulses; popular promises in appeals to the people.
Antithesis: Encourages violence or crime; people become doubtful about how to exert the proper controls on criminal or terrorist elements; obsessions which bring a misuse of the resources available for country or business." (Midpoints: Unleashing the Power of the Planets, Munkasey). #ad
Reinhold Ebertin adds, "The pursuit of selected objectives with fanatical zeal and with subsequent attainment without regard for other people; violent outbursts of feeling, inner shocks or emotional upheavals." Noel Tyl seconds the potential for "zeal" and adds, "One-sided emotional intensity and exaggerated new plans." The zealous energies are further emphasized by Moon-Pluto conjunct the Inauguration 2021 Midheaven; add the energies of US natal Pluto and we have "the need to fight whatever evils there are" (Munkasey).
Now besides the fact that the asteroid of Justice Astraea @20Sag43 conjuncts Trump's natal Moon-SN conjunction (7th house; justice for past actions?), we may also wish to consider a few midpoint pictures which may or may not apply to February 9th conditions (I'll leave it up to you to decide, dear reader); for these only Tyl is consulted for the sake of brevity:
Mercury-Jupiter = MC ('The Goal'): "successful planning; looking for the best side of things to come about."
Neptune-Pluto = Sun: "rationalization reigns over realism."
Mercury-Pluto = Saturn: "insistence on point of view; driven by fear of failure; needing control; unrelenting demands."
Pluto-MC = Saturn: "potential scandal; major business reversal; the conspicuous threat of loss; hard, hard work; circumstances of death, bereavement."
Mercury-Saturn = Jupiter: "logic and reasoning."
Moon-Mercury = Saturn: "solving problems to grow in wisdom; depression if the tide has turned."
Note that any, all, or none may apply and are subject to transits and progressions.
And so as always, dear reader, your on-topic comments, insights, and Shares are much appreciated! Jude
UPDATE February 7, 2021: A new wrinkle to the proceedings has been added by Trump attorney Schoen who wrote a letter to Senate leaders requesting that the Trump Impeachment trial be "suspended at 5:24 pm on Friday if it had not yet concluded" because he, being Jewish, observes the Sabbath. As long as the trial begins as noted, above, such a suspension only gives the Astrology of the matter a second horoscope, a bookend in time even if only temporary, to investigate! And of course Trump always loves any delay he can get. And curiously, advancing the chart to February 12, 2021 Capitol Hill to 5:24 pm est shows Mars and Uranus in Taurus bracketing the Midheaven (14Tau38). Mars-Uranus = MC: "Taking drastic measures; getting one's way; the sense of 'either/or'; putting a gun to someone's head" (Tyl). jc
UPDATE February 9, 2021: now available the Senate rules for the trial.

Thanks for showing this chart and your comments. I originally looked at an earlier chart with Aries rising. I'm not sure that the time has been set yet. Frankly, the noon chart looks better for a defeat of Trump in the court of public opinion, if not the Senate. Another argument in favor of starting at noon is to be sure the west coast sees the trial--it's a comfortable 9 AM in Pacific Time.
The evidence that is to be presented is going to be damning in the court of public opinion. With luck it will keep Republicans out of power for a long time to come.
Thank You WiseLalia! Agree that the court of public opinion may be the only accountability he receives. I'm reading that R Party members are "leaving in drives" but we'll see. And I suspect you're correct about the hour and starting at a time when the West Coast can view at a civilized hour. And if The Independent article is correct, around midday it is.
I expect there are lots of antics in store and some long-winded gas-baggery - blended with serious Democrats presenting a damning case against the orange saboteur. Jude
That's 'leaving in droves' whether they drive away or not! jc
The trial has finally begun at precisely 1:01 pm Eastern time today January 9, 2021 in Washington DC at the Capitol
Yes I'm watching it Heartfelt thanks. You mean February 9, 2021! Jude
