Governor Gavin Newsom says, "Wake Up, America!"

by Jude Cowell, partisan for democracy

With recent pushback efforts by California Governor Gavin Newsom against Republican redistricting in Texas, let's compare the Governor's natal chart with that of Inauguration 2029. Coming soon to SO'W will be comparisons of Midterms 2026 and Election 2028 planets in relation to Governor Newsom's horoscope, so stay turned.

A Call for Action to Save Democracy!

Significantly, the Governor of California says, Wake Up, America! And perhaps you've heard today that Governor Newsom is calling for California to hold a special election this November 4th with the redistricting of California on the ballot - named the "Election Rigging Response Act." That's unless Texas Republicans stop their redistricting efforts to skew elections their way, and their way only. Now I don't know about you, dear reader, but I wouldn't trust a fasc*st GOPer as far as I could throw him/her. And I can't.

Yet fortunately for the purpose of this post, the AA-rated natal horoscope of your favorite Governor Gavin Christopher Newsom is available for viewing if you have yet to do so. Plus, you can see his natal chart here (outer) surrounding the Inauguration 2029 Horoscope (because why not?):

Hopefully, you can make out at least some of my scribbles because it's nearing 5:00 pm and this post has taken hours to prepare and publish. In other words, I'm wumped out, dear reader! And it's been a long week for all of us. Yet I must add two more notes:

1. Watch for August 24, 2025 when transit Jupiter first squares Newsom's natal Libra Sun (7:22:28 am PDT), then opposes his natal Capricorn Moon (9:51:37 am PDT) which activates in some way his natal Sun-Moon square of restlessness, conscious will vs unconscious habit patterns, and possible relationship issues. Newsom's parents divorced in 1972, yet his lawyer-then-judge Father (Libra Sun) and worked-multiple-jobs Mother (Capricorn Moon: he and his sister lived with her) could also be involved with expansive Jupiter improving or inflating issues, possibly in the realms of reputation and/or finances. I imagine Republicans are casting about for some issue to inflate, spin, and undermine Governor Newsom with, don't you?

2. Energies and themes running in the background of society and influencing both Election 2028 and Inauguration 2029 are those of the 12 South Solar Eclipse of July 22, 2028 @30Cancer, the "D.A.R." degree.

March 2024 Trump Trial: a Lunar Eclipse

by Jude Cowell

Today NY Judge Juan Marchan confirmed that the criminal trial of Donald Trump will indeed go forward on March 25, 2024, the day of the Libra Lunar Eclipse displayed, below. Yes, it's difficult to keep all the 'Trump trials' straight, but this the one that concerns Trump's $130,000 hush money payment to Stormy Daniels in order to keep her quiet about their hook-up just a couple of weeks prior to Election 2016, because such a sex scandal might've "looked bad" to Trump voters - and perhaps keeping the illicit night of amour from Melania might have mattered to him.

So above is the Lunar Eclipse Horoscope of March 25, 2024 surrounded by a few of Trump's natal placements highlighted in blue. Primarily, this revealing eclipse lands directly upon agent orange's natal 2nd hou$e Neptune Rx (6Lib55), planet of secrets, fraudulent schemes, disguises, deception, ideals, and more. Of course, "disguising" his actions is what he tried to do, but testimonies from Stormy and others should hopefully remove the mask from his underhanded machinations. Naturally, Trump's natal Chiron and stationary Jupiter in Libra (the boundary-breaker, always whining it's not fair! when he's in a jam) are part of the action via the Lunar Eclipse and this will add additional energies to the complexity of the situation.

Of course, as with all Full Moons, relationships are major components of the Lunar Eclipse and the trial itself, particularly since it's in Venus-ruled Libra, sign of Partnerships and the Scales of Justice. Plus, full awareness and perhaps a culmination phase will be reached issuing from the planning/seeding stage at the New Moon of March 10, 2024 @20Pis17: that's Pisces, sign of secrets and confusion - unless the Piscean fish swims upward toward the higher realms.

So! My study notes are messily penned on the Lunar Eclipse Horoscope in case you want them. Examples include: Moon conjuncts the defendant's natal Neptune, Sun opposes his natal Neptune, Eclipse Mercury (testimony) squares Trump's natal Saturn, planet of realism, facts, karma, limits, accountability, authority, and the law. And as usual with this defendant, delays may occur or be attempted, and/or communications might be limited in some way. A gag order comes to mind.

Then squished into the aspect grid area are a few notes concerning the Eclipse's unaspected Saturn, plus, listed are cosmic links to the natal Sun, Moon, and Mars of Stormy Daniels. Additionally, a dear reader such as yourself will spy more planetary contacts, I'm quite certain.

Now to close, here's a famous quote from a fellow who shares the Sun Aries-Moon Libra combo of energies of this Lunar Eclipse, journalist-essayist-critic William Hazlitt:

"The love of liberty is the love of others; the love of power is the love of ourselves."

To me, this describes the tiresome, anti-societal Democrat v Republican stalemate used by US politicians against us with one party believing that taxpayer monies are for We the People's needs, while the other finagles all monies toward the wealthy class, while embezzling the rest.

Note: Hazlitt's natal chart has no accurate time but if you glance at it, you'll see multiple contacts from the Libra Lunar Eclipse of March 25, 2024, including the fact that the brilliant fellow is in the midst of a posthumous Pluto Return!
