Eclipses of 2026 and 2027

by Jude Cowell, partisan for the common good, Daughter of the American Revolution

Here's a handy list of the Solar and Lunar Eclipses of 2026 and 2027 along with solar themes. As you see, only three eclipses are Total, the most influential sort of eclipse in the bunch: the Virgo Lunar Eclipse of March 3, 2026 (first lunar eclipse of the year), the 10 South Solar Eclipse, and the Solar Eclipse of August 2, 2027 in the difficult 11 South Saros Series. Details follow:

Solar Eclipse Themes of 2026/2027

10 North @28AQ49:43: Emphasis on communications; frustrating or inhibiting events via news, paperwork, or a young person; may feel tired and drained; take things one at a time for best results. "29AQ": "Butterfly Emerging From a Chrysalis."

10 South @20Leo01:58: Breaking out of a negative situation where no hope can be seen to a positive space with many options; the Cosmos shows the solution which should be taken up without delay. "21Leo": "Chickens Intoxicated."

11 North @17AQ37:37: Suddenly changing groups through ideas or travel; making greater commitments in relationships. "18AQ": "A Man Unmasked."

11 South @9Leo55:02: Old ideas or methods fail; new systems and reforms are needed to deal with events; any blocks could be violently or tragically removed. "10Leo": "Early Morning Dew."

All eclipses are karmic "cosmic blinks" and can interrupt earthly events much as erratic planet Uranus can do, thereby causing sudden changes of direction like a "bolt from the blue." Revelations often surface which may lead to enlightenment and/or scandal, and historical events can be spotlighted as eclipse cycles repeat from past years. For instance, the Solar Eclipses listed here also occurred in the years 1935, 1936, and into 1937 (for those keeping up with neo-naz*-inspired current events).

Across the 5/11 Leo-Aquarius Axis

With Solar Eclipses in Leo there are leadership and authority concerns; self-confidence and vitality are involved; cautions to avoid for best results include the negative traits of Sun-ruled Leo such as egocentricity, pride, pomposity, vainglory, and ostentation for these will stymie karmic progress; parent-child relationships may also be highlighted.

With Solar Eclipses in Aquarius opportunities to change the karmic course of humanity may arise; an open-minded, timely approach is best; the past should be viewed as a key to present needs and may be used as a guide to future development; innovative approaches and novel solutions are most helpful as long as they fit the situations they're directed toward, while whimsical changes and contradictory efforts disrupt karmic progress and worsen conditions; humanitarian groups are highlighted, and karmic links to friends, daughters-in-law and sons-in-laws may be in the cosmic spotlight.

For personal information via eclipses, the natal house in which an eclipse falls is instructive concerning the area of life in which an eclipse may have influence; the opposite house can also be involved to a lesser extent.

Aspects from an eclipse to one's natal or progressed planet, if any, are also instructive. A clear example of an influential aspect to a natal planet is the 11 South Eclipse @10Leo which lands upon the natal 12th house Pluto of Mr. Tr*mp suggesting power issues and criminal acts with Pluto the planet of Underworld Syndicates, Hidden Wealth, Spies, and Transformation - and his Mars-Saturn death axis @10Leo is also eclipsed. Plus, 12th house is the house of the Unconscious and relates to secret dealings, large institutions (including hospitals and prisons), Self-Undoing, and Politics.

Now here's a 3-minute video presentation by world traveler Rick Steves:

Saturn-Neptune: the weakening of America

by Jude Cowell, partisan for America and the common good

The current Saturn-Neptune Cycle began when they conjoined on November 13, 1989 @10Cap22, the third of the karmic planets' three conjunctions in 1989 - all in Saturn-ruled Capricorn. We know that society is under the influence of the third conjunction because the next Saturn-Neptune Conjunction is approaching and will perfect on February 20, 2026 @00Ari45, the Aries Point of World Events. That this karmic Conjunction upon the primary Cardinal Point of 00Ari00 (Summer Solstice Point of the Sun; see the Summer Solstice 2025 Horoscope) must relate to or symbolize the current take-over attempts against various governments by global authoritarian forces seems clear.

Such topics we've discussed previously; for example: Saturn-Neptune Cycles 1989 and 2026.

So today I'm publishing a dual image of our initial Saturn-Neptune Conjunction which times America's Saturn-Neptune Cycle of September 27, 1773 @18Vir42 conjunct detail-oriented Mercury @18Vir50 (lower left) along with the first of three Uranus Returns (upper right) to the 1773 Uranus position @27Tau55 - shown here because it perfects soon on May 28, 2025, and because disruptive, radical Uranus is America's totem planet of war and revolt - energy that can also be used by the uprising of the American people against the heist now in progress by a lawless man and his unelected sidekick who are dismantling, weakening, and undermining (Neptune) the US government and our Constitution (Saturn) into a state (Saturn) of disfunction (Neptune) - not a smaller government - a meaner one:

Please note that this is the 1773 conjunction of the two karmic planets prior to July 4, 1776 when, as you know, America's Saturn was (and remains) exalted in mid-Libra and Neptune was (remains) @22Vir25. Perhaps your software can find a more accurate chart for their conjunction, so do let me know if you find one. Theirs is approximately a 36-year cycle so the next conjunction came in or about 1809.

Saturn-Neptune Energies Blended

Now I'm confident that a dear reader such as yourself already knows the multiple indications and associations of the Saturn-Neptune pair of planetary energies such as weakness, poverty, undermining circumstances, social safety net programs, caution, pessimism, uncovering fraud, plus, Socialism, Communism, secret or invisible government, and more. Additionally, the Saturn-Neptune midpoint qualifies as the Illness Axis, according to Reinhold Ebertin.

Of interest to some folks is that Mr. Tr*mp was born, as we're told (10:54 am), with the Saturn-Neptune midpoint conjunct his Ascendant (physical body) indicating oppressive family circumstances and a depressing environment for the little fellow right from the start.

And so in closing, as part of my forearmed is forearmed efforts on SO'W, here are some of the potentials of Saturn-Neptune in Politics and Business, quoting from Michael Munkasey. Any, all, or none may apply to 2025 events but I suspect you'll find that many, if not all of them, closely describe current events and actors:

Thesis: Delusions among the real leadership; policies that restrict spies; misusing law officers; inefficient use of capable expert advice; mistaken religious leaders.

Antithesis: Leaders deceive about the exercise of control; deficient business practices exposed; respected persons involved in questionable practices; a leader capitulates; reliable equipment failures. (And Saturnian systems, too - jc.)

As for Events of 1773, a stand-out in what became America has to be the Boston Tea Party of December 16, 1773 - loss (Saturn) of tea and tax money for authoritarian Britain (Saturn) tossed into Boston Harbor (Neptune) by disguised perpetrators (Neptune).

Additional reading includes astro-notes concerning the highly significant Virgo Lunar Eclipse of March 14, 2025 when the US government runs out of money and may shut down unless congressional Democrats help Speaker Johnson - and the Ides of March arrives next day. Oh, and btw - the March 14th Lunar Eclipse @24Virgo happens to conjunct the 10 North Solar Eclipse of 1773 which spotlights 10 North themes of "frustration over news, communications, paperwork, and/or young people" - perhaps like meddling-in-our-private-business "tech bros"?

USA and the Saturn-Neptune Cycle

by Jude Cowell, partisan for the common good

As you know, there are multiple potentials (quite a mixed bag) that can express via the Saturn-Neptune pairing. Within their 33-to-36-year cycle, the two planets meet once again in Great Conjunction on February 20, 2026 @00Ari45, the Aries Point of World Events. Their current cycle began in 1989 with three exact conjunctions in the Zodiacal range of 10--12 degrees of Saturn-ruled Capricorn.

Their placements in Capricorn suggest possibilities such as industry, a strong will, realism, truth, self-restraint, diplomacy, endurance, one-sidedness, slow advncement, economy, egocentrism (Saturn), plus, success through crooked means, strange objectives, delving into religious problems, deep research, people with little sense of reality, secrets, subversion, liquids, fumes, gases, poisons (Neptune).

Then depending on which technique we prefer for three-fer returns and conjunctions, and because a fresh conjunction arrives next year, I'd say that we are now operating within the third phase of the pairing which began with the November 13, 1989 Conjunction @10Cap22. This chart is shown as the outermost horoscope in the following tri-wheel and it's the DC Horoscope operative until their next conjunction on February 20, 2026 at Aries Point (2026 chart shown, below):

Saturn-Neptune Meet February 20, 2026:

So here's a partial list of potential expressions of the Saturn-Neptune duo when their energies combine; any, all, or none may apply or may alternate expression:

Social safety net programs, Socialism and other forms of -isms in government, delusions among leadership, inefficient use of capable advice, policies that restrict spies, using and hiding lies and deception, false hopes that lead to nothing, secret or invisible government, weakness, depression, pessimism, and/or illness, mistaken religious leaders, uncovering or restricting fraud, continuing detrimental practices, regrets, denial of responsibility, utilizing illusion, shabby practices, neglect in society, abandoning responsibility, an illusion of respectability, breaking through existing circumstances toward "the dream", loss via dissolution, erosion, or theft, martyrdom, a sense of being wronged, losing focus, Earth and Water events - and the list goes on and on when restrictive Saturn and urge to merge Neptune act as a "team" (Oken; Ebertin; Munkasey; Tyl), their energies heightened at Conjunciton.

Then as you know, both planets are considered karmic in nature due to Saturn's orbit lasting 28--30 years, while pokey pup Neptune takes 164 years to complete an orbit. Meanwhile, inadequately addressed conditions and neglected problems pile up until they must surface. Yes, events feel as if they come from the outside, but the issues have been with us all along, often bubbling on a back burner.

Now additionally, there are basic concerns about the upcoming Saturn-Neptune Conjunction in 2026 because of the last few years and it's the fact that the planets meet during what will likely be Year Two of the second go-round of Mr.T. "manning" America's helm with finger on The Button, a convicted felon and figurehead in the US of a global Underworld network of crooks and looters (Neptune-Pluto). Concerns include delusions and illusions (Neptune) about authority figures (Saturn). And as we've seen, running the American Ship of State aground is the aim of our enemies, domestic and foreign, and they must be stopped. Yet now that the fox is in the henhouse again, it will be complicated. Some folks are calling for the impeachment of Mr. T., a valiant effort which could boost Democrats at Midterms 2026.

Of course, all of the difficulties have been the case for years now but as a new cycle of Saturn-Neptune begins, we may expect the gaslighting, lies, and fraud to increase, both here and abroad, along with a potential for societal events to manifest, perhaps some weather-related - any of which may trigger hysteria (R. Ebertin) within sections of the population.

Now here are a few general astro-notes concerning Saturn in Pisces where the lesson bringer planet of Old Age, accountability, fears and flaws hangs out until 2026. And you know how Neptune, floating through in its own sign of shady Pisces, has timed a period of contagion, confusion, mass migration and delusion - and fears and paranoia.

Then looking at soon-coming lunations as we must, here are the Solar and Lunar Eclipses of 2025 (DC Horoscopes shown) including themes of both Solar Eclipses, all of which energies will run in the background of society - until influences from the 10 North Eclipse of February 2026 @29AQ take over; notably, the Saturn-Neptune Conjunction of 2026 occurs under the 10 North.

Battling Symbols of the Past

Symbolism in 1935: Germany and America

by Jude Cowell, partisan for democracy

Image: A color depiction of America's Great Seal circa 1935

Way back in the year 1935, two countries adopted significant visual symbols or logos which were polar opposites of one another in meaning.

In Germany, the ancient Swastika symbol was adopted for the Nazi Party flag, while in America, President Franklin Roosevelt approved America's Great Seal for placement on the US Dollar Bill. Of course these days, We the People seldom give the symbolism of the 13-step pyramid of power and Eye of Horus a moment of thought, and as our card-carrying society proceeds, we may rarely see or handle a paper dollar bill.

Now, due to my usual interest in Eclipse energies and themes that run in the background of society during any given time period we wish to consider, here's a List of Eclipses of 1935 with their Themes penned on. We should note that Eclipses in these Saros Series repeat in 2025 into 2026:

(The first Series, 9 Old North, played out and I have no information on its theme. Other than in Saturn-ruled Capricorn, eclipses always involve authority figures, authenticity, responsibility, accountability, and leadership.)

The Iroquois Confederacy Eclipse repeats

Historical Virgo Eclipse Remains Influential

by Jude Cowell, partisan for the US Constitution

As most Americans know, the framework of the US Constitution (horoscope shown in bi-wheel form) was built upon the constitutional government of the Iroquois Confederacy (5 Nations +1). Taken as a sign, a Total Solar Eclipse @5Vir22:26 of August 22, 1142 marked the beginning of the Iroquois Confederacy at what is now Victor, New York. Perhaps I'm only now realizing the significance of the eclipse after the Full Moon of February 24, 2024 @5Vir23 (DC Horoscope shown) cast a bright spotlight upon my natal Saturn, a bit of a workaholic when in Virgo.

Then within the sphere of what I term a cosmic time link, this suggests that the 10 North themes manifesting on August 22, 1142 are now activated by degree in relation to constitutional and governmental concerns of our day. 10N themes are penned on the chart, and Sabian Symbols for "6 Virgo" and "6 Pisces" are listed:

So with the US Constitution involved, the SCOTUS bench, now ruminating on significant concerns affecting the future of American democracy, has a role to play and may be influenced by 10 North themes running in the background of current events. See the center of the bi-wheel for brief notes on the next manifestation of a 10 North Solar Eclipse in 2026, plus, the last 10 North of February 2008. And note that transits and progressions to the 10 North Horoscope of August 22, 1142 may be of value, especially since the US Constitution of 1787 continues to be under assault by fascistic enemies of America.

Mike Johnson: 'MAGA' House Speaker

by Jude Cowell, partisan for democracy

Below you see a quickly marked-up bi-wheel of the noon horoscope of Mike Johnson (R-LA; b. Jan 30, 1972 Shreveport, LA) who was elected today as Speaker of the House for the 118th Congress. Mr. Johnson is a major MAGA seditionist - an election denier and anti-abortion autocrat - so there's no telling what damage he'll do to our country and people.

As you see, the most prominent planetary transit is Pluto conjunct his natal Mercury, a power aspect denoting an increase of personal power and control, intense ideas, and altered methods:

Of note is Rep. Johnson's Prenatal Solar Eclipse ('PE") in the 10 North Saros Series @25Cap24 with themes of 'frustration or inhibition through news, paperwork, or a young person' (B. Brady). Obviously transit Pluto has recently added its power and transformative energy to his PE which suggests a time of "gang wars" and "criminal offenses" (R. Lineman). Tellingly, Pluto's conjunction to 1972's 10 North Eclipse @25Capricorn was exact in 2020 and 2021.

Robert F Kennedy Jr and The Great American Eclipse of 2024

by Jude Cowell

With the son of RFK, environmental lawyer turned anti-vaxxer conspiracy theorist, Robert F. Kennedy Jr., challenging President Biden for the 2024 Democratic nomination, the natal horoscope of what is basically a spoiler-for-Trump must be made available because the paperwork has been filed, and astrologers like to have natal information to work from.

So sleuthing about the Internet I found that astrologer Matthew Swann had gathered the deets on RFK Jr from the family's astrologer in the mid-1970s, while summering on the Cape during his childhood. Of course, a 'noon' horoscope for RFK Jr may be set up if you prefer, but I'm going with the birth time provided via the Twitter account of Matthew Swann, @blackswann1111, and the helpful reply I received to my query about the source of RFK Jr's birth time: 5:32 pm est.

Robert and the Solar Eclipse of Election Year 2024

One cosmic synchronicity that stands out in relation to the candidate's 2024 nomination bid is the 8 North Great American Eclipse of April 8, 2024 @19Ari24 - conjunct Chiron @19Ar24 - for it manifests upon Mr. Kennedy's Midheaven ('MC') when his chart is set for 5:32 pm est. Of course, the MC is The Goal Point of a natal chart and involves Career and Public Status - on the World Stage in the case of public figures.

So here's a messily notated bi-wheel with RFK Jr's January 17, 1954 Horoscope in center and the 8 North Eclipse Horoscope of April 8, 2024, outer, with 8 North themes penned upon the chart, upper right; themes are highlighted in orange. Plus, a dual image of both charts with no study notes at all is displayed, below:

For further details, you'll find political information in The New Republic's Who Are These Supposed Lefties Who Love Robert F. Kennedy Jr?

Well, I lean toward the Democratic Party myself, and although you didn't ask, my opinion concerning RFK Jr's bid for the White House is that with Trumpers like Tucker Carlson, Steve Bannon, and Alex Jones promoting and praising him, RFK Jr's candidacy should be criticized and ridiculed as often as possible for the sake of retaining democracy in America. Because the political leanings of these three ideological fellows ('far-reich' bobbleheads) suggests to me that apparently, Mr. Kennedy may be a fan of a certain Hungarian dictator.

Yet to be fair, as with most people there are positives concerning him as well (ex: public service, a family thing), however, RFK Jr is against aid for Ukraine which throws his sentiments toward Russia, and he stated that Tucker Carlson is, "breathtakingly courageous" after their interview on what turned out to be Carlson's final TV show on Fox.

But despite all my fussing, the primary aim of this post is merely to provide for the curious reader a natal horoscope for the "democratic" conspiracy theorist of a famous family who seems poised to muck up the 2024 Election on behalf of win-at-any-cost Donald Trump, the agent orange who must be lovin' Kennedy Jr's popularity with far-left "Democrats." Touted popularity, that is. Besides, it's a truism that far-leftists have more in common with far-rightists than with those of us in the political center.

So to close, I'll just add that a Democrat who's against democracy and prefers tyrants cannot pass any political test with this particular Daughter of the Revolution, which would make RFK Jr one of those DINOs. And a stealth operative for what was once the GOP.
