Senate Majority Leader John Thune

As the 119th Congress opened on January 3, 2025, Republican John Thune assumed the office of Senate Majority Leader, the Mitch McConnell era having ended, as will the Biden era at noon on January 20, 2025.

Nostalgically, see Horoscopes: Power Couple Biden and McConnell.

Now the US Congress will be a Thune-Tr*mp affair full of seditionists and malcontents - you know the ones. Clunkers into the works of Congress are already being lobbed by the Orange Uranian who is said to be hugely miffed that flags will be at half-mast on Inauguration Day due to the recent death of President Jimmy Carter at age 100. Plus, he's extremely sour over his January 10th sentencing by Judge Merchan.

And so with the Thune era now begun, I have two horoscopes for you. Both belong to John Thune: the first chart has my study notes squooshed on and includes the aspect grid, and the second is free of scribbles. Both charts are set for noon in lieu of a known birth hour for Baby John.

Obviously, it's too soon to know if the Saturnian Senator Thune has adjusted his conservative attitude and preference for logic enough to get along with his quirky Uranian overlord, so we'll have to see as their relationshp "blossoms". Optimistically, John Thune says he'll help Trump understand what's "realistic in the Senate"! As if the woolly-headed Mr. T's Mercury-Neptune square of fantasy and delusion has any interest in reality!

Yet despite their differences, they do share a mission for gaining as much wealth as possible:

John Thune: Uranus Opposes Chiron

In closing here's a post from way back in 2005 describing Chiron-Uranus Types in Government that you may find useful. Written during the neocon Bush-Cheney era of bad decisions, I believe that its potentials apply now more than ever. After all, it took many years of bad decisions in Washington to bring America to this hazardous point and, as we now see, the overthrow of a government is a decades-long endeavor, is it not?

And as we look ahead, there's a glimmer of hope for our wounded country via the November 3, 2026 Midterms (DC Horoscope/s shown for the daring and the curious!) Because a determined focus on the Midterm Elections of 2026 provides us with a chance to make it through the haze of kleptocratic oligarchy and put a crimp in their fasc*st anti-American style of non-governance.
