Will the US Postal Service 1775 be privatized?

by Jude Cowell, partisan for the common good

Tr*mp accused of forcing a 'hostile takeover' of USPS by pressuring them to appoint FedEx board member as postmaster explains current machinations toward the (ill-advised) privatization of the venerable service we all depend upon. As usual, for authoritarian plutocrats in the US (where the money is) "making out like bandits" is their favorite activity.

Solar Arc Directions = External Forces

So with pressure from anti-American saboteurs continuing against the very existence of the US Postal Service via demanding its privatization, let's check out the current Solar Arc Directions for the institution which has served the public well since its founding on July 26, 1775, Philadelphia, PA - with Benjamin Franklin appointed first Post Master.

A "12:00 pm" hour is used to progress the Directed planets, and as you see, SA (Solar Arc) Pluto @4Lib11 conjuncts USPS Saturn, SA Moon @3Ari11 opposes USPS Saturn (due to the Moon-Pluto opposition of July 26, 1775), and SA Saturn @13Gem10 conjuncts USPS Jupiter.

Brief descriptions of these planetary influences are listed on the bi-wheel:

We should also mention that SA Jupiter ($$) is within orb of USPS South Node, a Saturnian point of separation with potentials for loss and/or theft, plus, you'll spy other cosmic time links, I'm quite certain - especially if you wish to gain a fuller picture by adding Secondary Progressions, transits, and other methods of investigation.

Also notable is the Solar Eclipse in the 11 South Saros Series under which the USPS was founded (and under which the American Revolution began) with difficult themes of system failure and new methods and ideas are needed to deal with events - and, "any blocks can be tragically or violently removed" (B. Brady).

Then as we've discussed in previous SO'W posts, an 11 South Eclipse and its themes repeat August 2, 2027 @9Leo55 conjunct Mr. T's 12th house midpoint picture: (Underworld planet of criminality) Pluto = Mars-Saturn of death, destruction, rage, and "the intervention of a higher power" (R. Ebertin).

And yes, as always, we'll be needing the US Postal Service for significant events such as Midterms 2026.

"Winning" at Any Cost

Then perhaps that's part of reich-wing efforts against the USPS since traditionally, more US voters of the democratic persuasion use mail-in ballots.

11 South Eclipses: dissolved systems and removals

by Jude Cowell, partisan for America

In December 2017, we considered the Horoscope of Russia - Flag Raised which marks the official moment that the Soviet Union turned into "Russia." Upheaval in society and in government had been occurring for a few years as we read on the events' Wikipedia page, Dissolution of the Soviet Union. And as you know, "dissolution" is one of mundane Neptune's favorite activities.

Crazily, in the Russia - Flag Raised Horoscope linked, above, the IC (Basis-Foundation-Root Point) is @9Sco58 which conjoins the position of the November 1, 2024 predictive New Moon Prior to our 2024 Election @9Sco35. Also, the Scorpio New Moon Horoscope of November 1st shows Russia's 1991 Venus-Pluto Conjunction in Scorpio rising (21/22 Scorpio) which suggests those who wield a fascinating influence upon the public.

Incidentally, Russia's 1991 IC was conjoined by the Inauguration 2017 Moon @9Sco21 which could add to the case of Russia's multi-pronged pro-Donald interference in our 2016 Election. And/or the contact symbolizes agent Trump's 2017 voters being emotionally all-in with his Russia connection and his idolatry of dictator Put*n. According to the November 1st New Moon, these lunar connections continue.

The Point: 11 South August 2, 2027

Meanwhile - and believe it or not! - the aim of this post is to publish the Horoscope of the 11 South Eclipse of August 2, 2027 @9Leo55 (shown above) with its themes of "systems fail; new methods or ideas are needed to deal with events; any blocks may be violently or tragically removed" (paraphrasing B. Brady).

A sad example of this theme occurred under the influence of the 11 South Eclipse of July 11, 1991 (conjunct Casolaro's natal Mercury - conjunct the sometimes murderous star Castor) for writer Danny Casolaro was "violently or tragically removed" by "suicide" as he worked on a book about a global criminal network he called, The Octopus.

As for Trump himself, will 11 South eclipse energies that conjunct his Pluto = Mars-Saturn in 2027 be utilized by his nibs against others or will they land upon his felony-prone head? Well, since Astrology is an AC-DC type of situation, things could go either way - or both ways all at once.

In closing, if you've so far avoided it, do read the neo-gnatzies' fascist Project 2025 agenda to see what maga extremists hope to have in store for the American people. If their draconian ideas are implemented, conditions in the US will echo those of the Soviet Union in the lead-up to December 25, 1991 when their system of government failed and new ideas were needed.

This is not a comforting post, dear reader, but please remember: forewarned is forearmed.

The 11 South Eclipse of 2027

An Eclipse Thread Through History

by Jude Cowell, partisan for the common good

As previously discussed here on Stars Over Washington, Events of 1360, a year containing multiple overthrows and shifts in governments, can be instructive in that "history rhymes" kind of way if we wish to investigate potential occurrences when an 11 South Solar Eclipse repeats next time on August 2, 2027 @9Leo55 (chart shown below) - conjunct Mr. Trump's 12th house Pluto = Mars-Saturn midpoint picture of fury, destruction, and death (R. Ebertin). For as you know, the Mars-Saturn midpoint is the "death axis" in any horoscope.

As Above, So Below Still Operational

Besides, as the Universe has it, even if the orange-hued fellow is no longer a player by August 2027, he did for a time act the role of POTUS, therefore, difficult implications are suggested for our country on both cosmic and societal levels due in part to 11 South themes of system failure, new methods and ideas are needed, and "any blocks could be violently or tragically removed" (B. Brady) - and the fact that the Total August 2027 Eclipse @9Leo55 (conjunct South Node) lands upon Mr. Trump's 12th house Pluto, planet of power, wealth, stealth, Underworld Crime, destruction, transformation, and primal viol*nce.

So here are two views of August 2, 2027's 11 South Eclipse, both charts set for Washington DC: first with astro-notes penned on, then an unmarked version just for you:

Yet bracingly, it behooves us to remember that humanity has made it through repetitions of 11 South Eclipses over the centuries ever since its initial manifestation @00Cancer, a Cardinal World Point, on June 14, 1360. Here's the 1360 Eclipse Horoscope:

Meanwhile, this eclipse thread must include the last 11 South which occurred on July 21, 2009 @29Can26 ("30 Cancer" = "A Daughter of the American Revolution" which ropes in the current "Maga" movement of insurrectionists, seditionists, and Klansmen demanding a "second American Revolution."

Meanwhile, their "Maga" take-over energies were preceded by the anti-governmental "Tea Party" movement, which turned corporate as a political reaction to the Presidency and policies of Barack Obama - "socialism," as they called his policies, and their opposition goes back to FDR's New Deal programs, as you know. To me, elite corporate types - Plutocrats, and their enabling politicians - apparently consider the tax monies We the People pay for years into the system as theirs for the plundering! Their Plutonian thieving mentality is impossible to hide.

So as you can see, the combination of rac*sm and Aryan*sm (basically the same thing) is the common denominator between these corporate-backed political movements and events - and this spotlights the gaslighting, propaganda, and hatred now being used against the American people in order to get us fighting one another, and so far it's working. Societal collapse of the US is their Utopian dream for this would vanquish democracy from the globe and open the door to worldwide authoritarianism.

Then revealingly, we might also consider that the 11 South Eclipse of 2009 is a companion event to the 2009 Jupiter-Neptune Conjunction/s of speculative, bubbly, grand scheme energies and tricky legalisms (Munkasey). This planetary pairing is found in the natal 2nd hou$e of that tiresomely orange-hued huckster of the Ary*n persuasion, plus, his Jupiter-Neptune Conjunction is cosmically anchored by wounded centaur Chiron in Libra, sign of the Scales of Justice - and this is right where the October 2, 2024 8 South Eclipse landed with its loss and separation themes.

And what real-world event should we link this Eclipse "hit" to? Why, yesterday's Unsealed J6 filing by prosecutor Jack Smith, of course!
