The Hoax of Benjamin Franklin

by Jude Cowell, Daughter of the American Revolution

Dear SO'W Reader,

Have you ever looked at the Sun-Moon combinations of four of America's founders in order to ascertain their personality blends for the sake of nosing into their relationships? I refer to the Personality Blends of Franklin, Washington, Paine, and Jefferson, a previously discussed topic here on SO'W.

The reason I ask is because our nation has been infiltrated and infested by enemies and We the People are perilously close to losing what our Founding Fathers established for posterity and I'm feeling more than a little nostalgic these days for our founding Enlightenment principles. How about you?

Ben Franklin: 1st American and Hoaxer!

Now perhaps you've noticed that Benjamin Franklin's bio page is quite extensive describing the polymath, scientist, inventor, printer, writer, Almanack publisher, statesman, diplomat - well, the list goes on.

Yet the fellow born way back in 1706 was quirkily humorous as well, and not above playing tricks. In fact, one of my favorites of Ben's shenanigans is the one where he printed a death forecast for his "friend" Titus Leeds saying that "Titus" would soon pass away - on October 17, 1733 at 3:29 pm, to be precise. Cheeky!

So as you may know, "Titus" responded in print with the result that Ben's Titus hoax continued into 1734 with a second Almanack printing. Copies were sold and a fortune was made! (See lower left corner for transit Neptune opposing his natal Mars). Other transits include a 1733 Solar Eclipse conjunct his natal North Node in money-loving Taurus (see lower right corner for details), and 1733 Saturn Rx is at the "Through Imagination a Lost Opportunity Is Regained" degree - and this may be at the basis of Ben's super-creative imagination with which he invented this unusual publicity stunt for selling copies of Poor Richard's Almanack. In addition, there's 1733 North Node in Scorpio which has hit his natal 14 South Prenatal Eclipse, a Series that tends to bring success and acceptance of an obsessive idea (B. Brady). Plus, you'll spy other contacts between the charts, I'm certain:

So even though Benjamin "missed" with his original prediction, above you see the Horoscope of the alleged passing of Mr. Titus Leeds as prognosticated by Mr. Franklin writing as "Richard Saunders" in Poor Richard's Almanack - but as a transit chart (outer) to Mr. Franklin's natal Horoscope (inner); a few astro-notes are penned on for the curious reader.

As always, Thanks a Bunch for reading! jc

America's only Neptune Return

by Jude Cowell, partisan for the common good

Through the years in multiple SO'W posts, I've fussed about the fact that the Republican Party of 1854 experienced a Neptune Return (a three-fer to mid-Pisces: "A Lady in Fox Fur") and has shifted its identity and public image into something unrecognizable to most people. This is why we began to hear, "not your father's Republican Party" ad nauseum.

Now, I'm finally getting around to fussing about America's one and only Neptune Return - also a three-fer due to slow-moving Neptune's 164-year orbit and the gas giant's tendency to (seemingly) station and move retrograde as viewed from Earth, in its role as one of the generational or outer planets, as we call them.

Significantly during America's Neptune Return period, Solar Eclipses manifested with themes that ran in the background of society and, depending on multiple factors, influenced or perhaps disrupted earthly events as Uranian "wild cards" of the Universe, aka, "Cosmic Blinks" able to uncover secrets which shady Neptune prefers to keep hidden. Therefore, sudden peep-eyes may occur!

12 North/South, 13 North/South, 14 North/South

Now for your consideration, below is a list of Solar Eclipses that occurred between December 1937 and the end of 1939. Added to the image is a hand-written listing of the three dates that transit Neptune returned to position in our nation's July 4, 1776 Horoscope set for 5:09 pm LMT Philadelphia, PA; this timing places Cardinal World Points of manifestation upon America's MC-IC axis, and 1776 Neptune clocked in @22Vir25:08; and as you see, eclipse themes from 12 North to 14 North are listed as well; solar eclipses from those series will repeat in our era during the years 2028 and 2029; (please pardon my messiness!):

When Neptune is in the Sign of Virgo

Having nebulous Neptune in fact-based Virgo, its sign of detriment, isn't the easiest placement for the Divine Source planet, as you may agree. Undiscovered until 1846, we might assume that the Founders were unaware of the planet's tendency to undermine, subvert, erode, defraud, deceive, and such - especially with Neptune's square to US Mars in Gemini ("fog of war," confused motivation, misguided action, etc). To me it seems that our Neptune has been a mixed bag - and all three times that Neptune returned to its 1776 degree, it re-squared US Mars by transit which must have complicated and confused matters.

Plus, a primary factor with Neptune in Virgo is instability in employment conditions which the American people are overly familiar with - especially now that transit Neptune in Pisces has recently opposed US Neptune in Virgo. This major transit has brought persecution and dissolution with it, aimed at our civil and other rights, plus, a shifting of ideals and ideologies. Then with Mercury-ruled Virgo involved we should add difficult health implications including the fact that the 1937--1939 period is when adulteration of our food began, and continues today much to our detriment. Meanwhile, the losses and hardships of the Great Depression years inspired a materialistic streak within the masses (Neptune). How could it not?

Then if we add Neptune's 9th house position in our 1776 horoscope to this fuss of a consideration, we have attractions to cultism, an unfortunate tendency that has helped to sink (oceanic Neptune) our country under the hoax-like, scam-prone conditions of recent years made worse by bad faith actors working on behalf of our nation's enemies - which involves Neptunian subversion, spying, the Big Lie, and the Internet, a weblike Neptunian creation.

Now to close, you'll see notated on the image that Franklin Delano Roosevelt was president during this Neptunian time frame, while John Nance Garner IV, aka, "Cactus Jack," was Vice President. Cactus Jack! And if you're curious, I recommend a search for historical events of 1937, 1938, and 1939 to provide you with a wider 'real world' perspective than mere eclipse themes can do.

How to Fix America Before We Really Blow It w/ Leigh McGowan - clip

Yesterday during his Live broadcast, Thom Hartmann interviewed PoliticsGirl, aka, Leigh McGowan. Here's a clip:

A Little Astrology

by Jude Cowell, partisan for the common good (and common sense!)

PoliticsGirl (Leigh McGowan) was born August 16, 1976 and raised in Toronto, Canada. Baby Leigh entered the Earthly flux under the influence of the 14 South Eclipse which had manifested on April 29, 1976 @9Tau13 with Mercury-Pluto content. 14 South themes involve an obsessive idea finally accepted followed by Jupiterian success; a long-awaited breakthrough (B. Brady).

The last 14 South Solar Eclipse occurred on May 20, 2012 @00Gemini (a degree that transit Uranus will spark in late April 2026, a "ready to chart new territory" influence). The next 14 South arrives on June 1, 2030 @11Gemini.

Book Note: The full title of the new book by Leigh McGowan is, "A Return to Common Sense: How to Fix America Before We Really Blow It" #ad. Yeah. Let's do that. jc

The Untold Story Of The 1381 Peasants Revolt | Peasants Revolt | Timeline

Back during the feudal era, in May 1381 English peasants became fed up and thus established the tradition of revolt against their oppressors. The Peasants Revolt of 1381 is aka, Wat Tyler's Rebellion, and millions of people engaged from all over England to march upon London. Time Team's Tony Robinson recounts the story:

In case the Timeline (Time Team) video is removed, here's a link.

As for the Solar Eclipse Saros Series ('PE') that inspired the archetypal revolt of 1381, that's the 14 South which more recently inspired the assassination of Senator Ernest Lundeen in a plane crash on August 31, 1940 ('Trip 19' horoscope shown) after Lundeen began having second thoughts about his involvement in the Nazi plot to take over America, which is ably revealed in Rachel Maddow's Ultra podcast series.

Themes of all 14 South eclipses:

'An obsessive idea (Mercury-Pluto) is finally accepted which leads to the promised success of Jupiter; pushing for acceptance of ideas or methodologies may lead to long-awaited success' (paraphrasing Predictive Astrology, B. Brady #ad). However, I would add that involvement from gaslighting Neptune suggests that the attained success may involve 'deception, omitting key facts, adjusting data', and/or 'working a situation into one's own format' (N. Tyl).

Just now checking with geni.com, I find that Wat (possibly 'Walter') Tyler and I have in-law connections with 26 relatives between us. And eleven of them are Tylers.

So as it turned out, the ultimate fate of Wat Tyler the Rebel was as tragic as any that can be imagined and included his execution by decapitation on June 15, 1381, age 40.

Maddow podcast Ultra Features Nazis in America 1940

America Locked Again in a Battle of Wills with Nazism

by Jude Cowell

Although the catastrophe's Wikipedia page labels it as the Lovettsville Air Disaster, many folks know the event as the Trip 19 Plane Crash in which 25 passengers lost their lives during a lightening storm near Short Hill Mountain, Lovettsville, Virginia on August 31, 1940. Among the crash victims were Nazi sympathizer Senator Ernest Lundeen (R-Minn; born August 4, 1878 Dakota Territory) and (reputedly) a couple of FBI agents, along with other passengers and crew members on the ill-fated flight that left that afternoon from Washington DC heading for Detroit.

Nazis in America: FDR 1940 and the 'Trump Era'

So with the current anti-democracy campaign intended to Nazify America (and you know which orange figurehead and faithless political party this involves, as with Republican Senator Lundeen in 1940), Rachel Maddow's new podcast Ultra (which premiered today!) in Episode one, features Senator Lundeen, the plane crash, and more. Episode two, also available today (wherever you get your podcasts - I prefer TuneIn) is titled, The Brooklyn Boys. Now in this post I can't tell you all that ep 2 covers but it brings in religious involvement in the Nazi plot (dare I mention the word, Vatican?) via Father Coughlin, famous for anti-government bomb-making and for his radio broadcasts spewing anti-semitism. Note that Coughlin was for FDR's New Deal policies before he was against them.

Politics and Religion Always a Sinister Mix

So as Rachel Maddow ably reports, the FBI was watching and "decides to move on Coughlin's Christian Front," a group determined to overthrow the US government. 17 members of the Coughlin-founded Christian Front were arrested in New York and charged with sedition but unfortunately, the DOJ lost the case with J. Edgar Hoover, a known blackmailer and power abuser, then director of the FBI. Predictably, Coughlin claimed "patriotism" intended to "save" America. Sounds familiar, doesn't it?

Now of course, there are more details on such topics provided in the Ultra podcast, too numerous to repeat in a mere post by yours truly but I'd like to display an image of the August 31, 1940 horoscope, exact hour unknown so noon is used to set up the chart.

As the horoscope shows, there's lots of speech-writing Virgo energy contained therein with Mercury in Virgo the final dispositor, and one of the planets associated with air travel. Significantly, 1940 Mars in Virgo conjuncts Lundeen's natal Mercury indicating potentials for chaotic energies, verbal combat, aggressive meetings (a "scuffle" may have broken out on the plane, as Rachel notes), and physical injury. Well, certainly that.

But what really stands way out in the horoscope is Uranus in Taurus, considering that a lightening strike is the "probable" cause of the plane crash that killed Senator Lundeen (who was about to deliver a pro-Nazi speech written by a paid Nazi operative in Berlin, a copy of which was found at the crash site! See msnbc.com/ultra where you can read it, and more). Now radical, disruptive Uranus, the planet of lightening and bolts from the blue is prominent for as you see, Uranus @26Tau08 is at Direct Station, turning retrograde 11 hours later at the same degree, minute, and second.

And we know that a Stationing planet, here conjunct malevolent star Algol, binds and strengthens their energies, but there's more, for the pair conjuncts the asteroid of justice Astraea (law enforcement?), and conjuncts FDR's natal Pluto - and the natal Pluto of Senator Lundeen. The Uranus-to-Pluto transit suggests potentials for hidden fears, loss of control, and possible atomic concerns or activities; and as you know, FDR was soon taken out of public service and Harry Truman was installed in the White House with atomic bombing on the presidential agenda. Harry, as the saying of the day went, gave 'em h*ll.

Meanwhile, tenuous as they may or may not be, there are links between Nazi scientists and atomic research in Germany and in the US; one example: Why the US Government Brought Nazi Scientists to America After World War II in a desperate attempt to commandeer Germany's weapons research. But five years earlier, a question: was the 1940 plane crash and the death of Senator Lundeen linked to the creation of the atomic bomb? Perhaps Ultra will expound upon such a topic as its episodes go on. Certainly, the fact is mentioned that before, during, and after 1940, Herr H*tler ran Nazi operations on US soil. As his spawn and wanna-bes do today with many US politicians corrupted and disloyal to our country.

1940 Pluto in Taurus: Great Gain or Loss Influences Destiny

Curiously, a certain midpoint picture full of plutonian power seems significant to me, and in Ultra, Rachel Maddow mentions the FBI having a "tiger by the tail" in relation to the agency's investigation into the Trip 19 Plane Crash, for you see, Noel Tyl once mentioned to me that the Pluto-North-Node duo symbolizes, among other things, "tiger by the tail" conditions, so as many readers might expect, I looked for evidence of this combo in the horoscope. And here it is:

Pluto-NN = Mars: 'violence and brutality; the misfortune to be placed in somebody else's hand or power (ex: Lundeen); making someone amenable to one's wishes' (R. Ebertin); 'tyranny; exhibition of personal power' (N. Tyl); 'an urgent need for meetings; meeting with influential business people' (M. Munkasey). Wonder who Senator Lundeen expected to meet during his trip? Well, if we replace 1940 Mars in the equation with Lundeen's natal Mercury we have: 'feeling a shift of power or direction from others; conversing fluently with influential people' (M.M.); 'an ability to exercise a magnetic influence upon the public' (R.E.); 'thinking big' (N.T.). Add the Virgo Sun to Pluto-NN and we have a cosmic picture of ruthlessness and imposing one's will.

Plus, at its base, clandestine data or intel (Lundeen's speech?) is involved with the Pluto-NN duo as is a shared destiny such as a tragic plane crash. (If sabotage, I wonder if it was Lundeen's delivery of his Nazi-promoting speech that urgently had to be stopped - if so this seemingly does not implicate Nazis). Yet surely the copy of his speech wasn't planted at the scene!

So in closing, I'm interested to read what you think of the Plane Crash Horoscope (which may be an assassination horoscope) for there are multiple chart factors not mentioned in this text, so please leave your on-topic insights and comments here, if you wish (no trolls allowed) and it would be encouraging if you'd dare to share this post! You'll find 14 South solar eclipse info listed below the image:

The Trip 19 Plane Crash occurred during a 14 South manifestation (April 7, 1940 @17Ari51), a series that contains Mercury-Pluto content (secrets, spying, control of intel; and death by air travel?) issuing from its initial eclipse (August 29, 984 OS @10Sco59) with themes of:

'Obsessive ideas and methodologies are finally accepted, then a long-awaited breakthrough via the promised success of Jupiter' (paraphrasing B. Brady).

No Nazi ideas are acceptable in the US! Yet warningly, a 14 South Eclipse @20Taurus occurred in tandem with the Republican take-over of Congress in 1994, thanks to Republican Newt Gingrich who shares the same 'pied piper' personality blend as Herr Trump. Note that a 14 South last manifested on May 20, 2012 @00Gemini conjunct Alcyone; the next 14 South eclipse will occur June 1, 2030 @3Sagittarius.
