RFK Jr, RFK Sr, and Two Eclipses

by Jude Cowell, partisan for democracy

There will be no voters in the 2024 Election who will know how it feels to have a father assassinated in cold blood. Except for RFK Jr., a past drug addict with unusual opinions, some on the quirky side.

The emotional and psychological damage from losing his father when he was 14 years old is difficult if not impossible to assess by a lone blogger such as myself with no psychology degree. However, what I can do is publish two pertinent horoscopes concerning these matters, my study notes included, and which are shown in bi-wheel form below.

But first, a bit of news, then some background:

'Leaving Nothing to Chance': Biden and allies seek to hobble RFK Jr, reports Elena Schneider over at Politico.

A Father Who Was Suddenly Lost

The tragic assassination of presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy (aka, RFK) on June 5, 1968, and his death the next day, occurred under the auspices of a 6 North Solar Eclipse @8Aries (unmarked on the chart--in 2nd house of money, with the aggressive energies of Mars). 6 North themes: "relationship to father or authority figures; the need to take responsibility and control; commitments occur due to another person's illness or unreliability" (paraphrasing B. Brady; my Italics). We last experienced a 6 North Eclipse on April 30, 2022 @10Taurus as the 2022 Midterm campaigns were gearing up.

Bi-wheel: RFK Assassination June 5, 1968 (inner) surrounded by RFK Jr's natal chart born January 17, 1954, with two of the primary contacts circled:

1968 Pluto to his natal Jupiter (death/assassination of a loving father) and 1968 Saturn and North Node conjunct his son's natal Midheaven ('MC') indicating potentials for: "separation from family members, mourning and bereavement; depression; and/or standing alone in life" (R. Ebertin). Also notated is April's 8 North Eclipse @19Ari24 conjunct wounded healer Chiron @19:24 - and both conjunct RFK Jr's natal Midheaven. So is Bobby's 2024 candidacy an attempt to fulfill his father's cruelly diverted dream of entering the Oval Office? If so, it wouldn't be surprising.

Yes, prominent campaign-wise, is the recent manifestation of the 8 North Great American Eclipse for RFK Jr because it has landed directly upon his natal Midheaven ('MC') of Goals and Aspirations and spotlights at this time his strong drive for power. Follow the link to view a dual image of the 8 North Eclipse and RFK Jr's natal horoscope.

However, when under the influence of a Mars-ruled Aries Eclipse, one can behave in an overly headstrong manner, too aggressive in competition. This tracks well with the fellow that many say RFK Jr's candidacy is intended to elect by default - Defendant J. Trump, as he is currently known. Unless, that is, Trump has to step aside and Bobby Jr. steps in. Unlikely, yes, but who really knows? One thing we can know: as RFK Jr is carrying water for Trump, he's also carrying water for the foreign meddlers who use DJT as an asset.

And yet as we've previously discussed, RFK Jr is the only 2024 candidate having a beneficial Jupiter Return in Election Year 2024!

Meanwhile, for the daring reader, here's a view of the natal horoscope of assassin Sirhan Sirhan, born with a Minor Grand Trine between Uranus-Neptune and assassin Pluto at apex. You'll remember that this is the same planetary trio that formed in 2017 when transit Pluto @18Capricorn hit the 1993 Uranus-Neptune Conjunction/s and completed a revealing midpoint picture of:

"The big picture commands a certain course of action which must be followed; very little option to do otherwise" (Noel Tyl).

And this, my friends, partially describes the overbearing script that global authoritarians are continuing to follow as they join forces to form a vast criminal syndicate (Neptune-Pluto) and play their grand chess game over our heads with their success at any cost mindset - as long as all the losses are ours, not theirs.

8 North Eclipse 2024 vs 6 North of 1986

A Significant Cosmic Time Link from 2024 Back to 1986

by Jude Cowell

Solar Eclipses can disrupt and change the course of events on Earth, and sometimes cosmic time links exist between Solar Eclipses when one occurs at the same degree as a previous eclipse. Such is the case with the Great American Eclipse of April 8, 2024 @19Ari24 in the 8 North Saros Series of visions and vivid dreams (Brady). This cosmic circumstance has them falling into different Saros Series for it's the eclipse degree that's activated, not a repeat of Saros Series (family) so that their themes are melded or blended for those who choose to consider such a 'history rhymes' situation. See the end of this post for a few possibilities.

The Great American Eclipse 8N 2024 vs 6N 1986

Above, is a dual image of the 8 North Eclipse of April 8, 2024 @19Ari24 set for Washington DC (and conjunct Chiron = the healer? or the blindspot? with US 1776 Chiron @20Ari08) and the activating-by-degree 6 North Solar Eclipse of April 9, 1986 @19Ari06. 6 North themes concern 'relationships to authority figures, a need to take responsibility and control, and accepting commitments due to another's inability to carry on via illness or unreliability (Brady).

6 North repeated on April 30, 2022 @10Tau28 conjunct zealous anarchist Uranus in Taurus which suggests 'maga' politicians, their figurehead, and their anti-democratic backers (ex: corporatists). For as you know, intolerance (ex: racism) is one of the more negative traits of Venus-ruled Taurus along with possessiveness and selfish materialism. Notably, manipulative Pluto, planet of extreme wealth, was in Taurus during the Civil War - and the 7 North Eclipse which influenced the Civil War repeated in April 20, 2022 @29Aries - conjunct J6 Mars. Perhaps you watched the events of January 6, 2021 as a Confederate flag was carried into the Capitol Building. The symbolism was impossible to miss especially since sore losers kept yapping about a second "civil war."

Cosmic Time Links via Eclipses

Truth is, we've discussed cosmic time links between eclipses previously in a September 2023 post: October 2024 Eclipse Activates Another! from 2024 back to 2005 and representing a continuation from the eclipse links discussed in this post: from April 2024 to October 2024 and into 2025 until middle to the end of March when a 9 New North Eclipse in Aries takes the stage.

But for clues in this 2024-to-1986 consideration we look to prominent Events of 1986 to see if or how they relate to potential events and issues in 2024. The foremost event of 1986 which occurred within the 6 North Series has to be the Chernobyl Meltdown of April 26, 1986 (11:38 am BADT -4:00 Chernobyl, Ukraine). Naturally this links to Putin's Invasion of Ukraine on February 24, 2022. However, the Invasion of 2022 falls within the 5 New South Series with its theme of 'peak events' (Brady).

And curiously enough, the tragic Challenger Explosion of January 28, 1986 also occurred under the influence of the 5 New South Eclipse which manifested on November 12, 1985 - both events = negative "peak experiences," as we may agree).

If you may wish, review the Wikpedia page of the Capture of Chernobyl by Russian Armed Forces at the start of Putin's War on Ukraine, February 24, 2022.

As for blending the cosmic time links, themes, and events from 2024 to 1986, I'd suggest connections involving nuclear plants due to Chernobyl, war due to Ukraine, and America's 1776 Chiron ("21Aries" = "A Pugilist Entering the Ring" shown by the US Chiron Return/s of April 20, 2024, November 8, 2024 (near Election 2024), and February 18, 2025; these return dates issue from our July 4, 1776 Horoscope and will differ somewhat depending on the US founding horoscope used. Political and financial matters are potentials.

Now the Sabian Symbol for America's 4th house Chiron may suggest war, yes, but it also spotlights the 2024 Presidential Election which, more than ever before, will determine the future of our nation. Plus, America's three-fer Chiron Return of 2024/2025 hints at some sort of a replay of events from 1776 as well with freedom and independence simmering on the hob again as Fascism knocks at our door, longing to destroy democracy and take control. This is not acceptable!

So the two eclipes link Election 2024 with the Presidential (re) Election of Ronald Reagan in November 1986 and suggests to me his administration's financial manipulations, and Reaganomics (trickle down economics), the misguided neoliberalism which is well passed its expiration date, and has been shown to be a huge scam perpetrated by the global financial system upon the 99%. This has been in the news as you may have noticed. In fact, Thom Hartmann asserts that Reagan's Neoliberalism Destroyed the Middle Class. I tend to agree.

And finally, you'll certainly think of other connections to 1986 events which may cycle 'round again for further dealing in 2024, but do check the upper right corner for a note about the 2nd house natal Jupiter of Trump opposing the degrees of the eclipses, as our orange albatross continues interfering and meddling in all he touches - and disrupts the US legal and electional systems, as instructed by his backers, both foreign and domestic. Tiresomely, Big Donnie's financial woes and shady way of doing business will continue to be spotlighted in the news and in court. Personally, I remain suspicious that off-shore accounts are hidden away (he hopes--and he's an escape hatch kind of guy).

Then to close this dreary post, perhaps you can read my note penned on the image about the potential blending of 8N and 6N themes which could transpire despite the presence of the wounded healer Chiron 'the key' which, in Mars-ruled Aries, symbolizes optimism and the freedom to do and know more (M. Pottenger).

Now there are positive indications worth hoping and fighting for!

A Related Video Segment: Chris Hayes on Why Putin didn't Invade Ukraine During the Trump "Presidency" (my quotation marks -jc). And here, in case you need it, is a list of Solar and Lunar Eclipses from January 2024 to December 2026.

Plus, there's a crazily related topic from 1986: As proof that he's not a racist, right-wingers have widely circulated a photograph of Trump with Muhammed Ali, Rosa Parks, and others taken upon the occasion of the receipt of an Ellis Island Award for "patriotism, tolerance, brotherhood, and diversity"! Or did Big Donnie just photo-bomb the ceremony?

Election 2024: our Make-or-Break Moment

by Jude Cowell

In Thom Hartmann's April 17, 2023 Daily Take What's Behind the GOP's War Against Democracy?, Thom states that, "Election 2024 may well be the equivalent of the November 1932 German elections: a make-or-break moment for American democracy." Because as you know, Hitler did end up in control of the German government.

Confirming the date of the historic event, we find that the German federal election was held on November 6, 1932 with the Nazi Party's share of votes falling by 4%. Follow the link for more election details.

Then, since eclipse cycles echo historical cycles and bring along similar events and societal conditions, we find that the two Solar Eclipses of 1932, first on March 7 @16Pis32 in the 6 North Saros Series, the second on August 31, 1932 @8Vir09 in the 6 South Series (in which the November 1932 elections occurred), have already repeated in our era with the 6 South operative as I type but in process of morphing into the 7 North Eclipse of April 20, 2023 - this Thursday in the Eastern Time Zone (12:13 am - see bi-wheel, below).

April/October 2022 Solar Eclipses: 6 North/6 South

6 North April 30, 2022 @10Taurus; Themes: 'relationship to authority figures; accepting commitments due to another person's illness or unreliability'.

6 South October 25, 2022 @2Scorpio; Themes: 'being forceful, taking power; manic energy with great force in relationships; sudden events; huge efforts in a group activity'. In the Midterm Elections of November 2022, this manic energy managed to finagle through gerrymandering and other means, the 'maga' House of Representatives. So our 2022 Midterm Elections are equivalent to Germany's November 1932 federal elections according to the solar eclipse cycle - with only partial success for Nazis, then and now.

Horoscopes: 'Maga Mob Attack (inner) and 7 North Eclipse 2023 (outer) showing 7 North 2023 Conjunct Mars 2021; plus, other notes

So now we face the energies and themes of a 7 North Solar Eclipse about to manifest on April 20, 2023 @29Ari50, conjunct the position of the January 6, 2021 Mars, the warrior planet of anarchy and sedition. Besides being what I've previously termed, Hitl*r's birthday eclipse, this manifestation of a 7 North Eclipse brings us an Eclipse-Mars contact which functions as a Sun-to-Mars transit, an action-oriented indication of plans that can be set in motion (a timing device), that physical efforts are on someone's to-do list, and a suggestion that others are attracted and/or encouraged to join in.

Yet negatively, there are unpleasant circumstances due to hot-headed or impatient activities, and predictably, injuries can or will result. One thinks of militia-minded malcontents such as those we watched go "wild" on our TVs in 2021, inspired by the seditionist-in-chief, the Mango Mussolini who continues to hang around the neck of the United States of America.

Inauguration 1789, President Biden, and Eclipses

Astro-Thoughts on the US Presidency: 1789 and Beyond

by Jude Cowell

America's first official Oath of Office for the presidency occurred on April 30, 1789 in New York City. As you know, the 1st Oath was taken by a popular fellow, General George Washington, and his Oath-taking on that day creates our nation's archetypal model for the US Presidency. Here you see the 1st Oath Horoscope set for 2:00 pm LMT (historical record) with Virgo rising, Gemini at Midheaven, both ruled by Mercury, planet of oaths and those who take them - here in pioneering Aries; several of President Joe Biden's natal placements are penned around the chart, such as 1789 North Node @28Scorpio pointing directly toward Biden's natal Venus-Sun:

Sun @10Tau46 (9th house), the leader, has been under the influence of the 6 North Solar Eclipse since April 2022 (@10Tau28) yet 6 North themes are in process of waning as the 6 South Eclipse @2Scorpio (October 25, 2022) takes over and a forceful power grab for control intensifies. (6 North themes are penned on the chart and highlighted in red.)

Meanwhile, 1789 Inauguration's Prenatal Solar Eclipse (@6Sag15) fell into the 7 North Saros Series with themes of 'deep passion long-hidden; lust' (B. Brady) to which I've been compelled to add "blood lust" due to 7 North's repetition in April 2023 and because of the current crop of saboteurs and faithless traitors desperate to coup the US government and enforce authoritarianism and Utopian zealotry upon the American people, thus deleting George Washington's democratic Republic from the world stage of leadership. Or so they wish.

(By 'Utopian zealotry', I refer to their determination to rid America of the rule of law so that a free-for-all cowboy-style 'Old West' manner of living (dying) is established, brutal and cruel, with everyone "locked and loaded" for a shoot out.) Have you ever noticed that the NRA Horoscope of 1871 contains a Mars-Saturn Conjunction in Capricorn, the 'death axis' pair of planets? So many profits to be made by promoting death!

As for eclipses and the US presidency, we know that all eclipses act as Uranian 'wild cards of the Universe' and 'cosmic blinks' which suggests the unpredictability of their effects. Disruption we know, change of course may be forthcoming, perhaps even Earth shifts or weather events, yet sometimes the themes of a particular series don't have as strong an effect upon circumstances as the fact that an eclipse manifests upon a certain planet, star, or point in a horoscope. Naturally, total eclipses are the strongest actors and in similar fashion to planet Uranus, eclipses may act early, on time, late, or never with a multitude of factors mitigating and/or supporting their energies and power.

That said, I suspect that most SO'W readers would agree that 6 North themes (ex: 'relationship to authority figures') have affected the US presidency, a role which, at this time, happens to be inhabited by Joseph R. Biden. And I'll simply say that his maturity and experience have been appreciated after our country's previous roller coaster ride of misrule and criminality led by the orange scofflaw.

So hopefully, this post and horoscope are useful to you, dear reader, and that you will join me in my plan to Vote Blue in November 2022 and 2024 so that our democratic Republic can weather the current political and ideological storms brought by fascist/nazi types of violent criminals. Because the world has tried that barbaric form of government during the 1920s to 1940s decades and found it sorely lacking. What say we not try it again.

Oct 2022: Stars Over Washington is 17!

Shall Stars Over Washington Continue Its Mission?

by Jude Cowell

In two weeks, on October 16, 2022, Stars Over Washington completes its 17th year, and is already gray around the muzzle! Below are dual images displaying SO'W's original founding chart of October 16, 2005 (lower left), plus, its Solar Return 2022 Horoscope with Mercury in Libra rising; astro-notes are penned on for those who care to read them:

In the Return 2022 chart, the Goal Point ('MC' @11Can30) when rounded-up gives an intriguing symbol, "A Chinese Woman Nursing a Baby with a Message"; conjunct MC from the 9th house of Publishing is the out-of-bounds ('OOBs') Moon @9Can03 - conjunct fixed star, Alhena, keywords: "To have a mission." Add to this the fact that the Moon's rounded-up symbol is "A Large Diamond Not Completely Cut," and so I reluctantly surmise that SO'W isn't done yet and should be carried forth into 2023 (although I have been puzzling all year over such possibilities: SR 2022's Seesaw shape of planets = pros vs cons).

My uncertainty as to its continuance is due in part to the fact that as a novice astrologer, I see ahead that 2023 contains personal difficulties via a double Saturn transit, so I'll keep writing and publishing for as long as I can - always for the sake of America and the common good. However, you may as well know that karmic Saturn rules four of my natal planets, so we'll have to see - and naturally I'm taking precautions already since I know of these transits ahead of time.

Note: If you wish, check out the "Chinese Woman" link, above, for a view of my illustration of the symbol, plus, some expansion concerning the degree's meaning.

And so, as turmoil covers the Earth, the following is what I really want to type about today. But please note that readers who are overly sensitive to esoteric, existential, eclipses as portents, and/or eternal considerations may want to skip the rest of this post - and absolutely no blame if you do!

Turning Point: The Woman, The Dragon, The Child - and an Eclipse (Sun-Moon)

In the Book of Revelation, chapter 12 we find a certain description,

"Now a great sign appeared in the heaven: a woman clothed with the sun, and with the moon under her feet, and on her head a garland of twelve stars."

The KJV gives this as "a great wonder" while the Revised Standard Version of the Bible says, "a great portent." - which is part of what I wrote in my ephemeris on the October 2005 page under the listing of the October 3, 2005 7 South Solar Eclipse @10Lib19. A great sign, wonder, portent! Well, here's all that I wrote and no, I didn't list where the information came from, but here it is for your consideration in light of Earth upheavals and other current events of a turbulent nature which some ascribe to an existential crisis,

"October 3, 2005 Solar Eclipse 7 South is said to be the eclipse of Revelation 12 - the Great Portent." And the woman's identity with her garland of twelve stars and sun and moon connections? This may well be a reference to the Constellation of Virgo (the maiden), the second largest constellation in our skies. But are there 12 stars in the Virgo constellation? No, not now but there may have been previously because above the maiden's head there's a circle of stars, and due to precession it's possible that Coma Berenice is indicated as well. Then in the SO'W Solar Return 2022 Horoscope, we find feminine asteroids (archetypal figures) within the Virgo-Pisces polarity: Ceres and Demeter in Virgo, and Juno, Diana, and Astraea, the star maiden of justice, purity, and innocence.

And yes, the October 2005 manifestation of a 7 South Solar Eclipse is the Prenatal Solar Eclipse that inspired Stars Over Washington, meaning that under its themes, yours truly felt compelled to create the 'personal weblog' you're reading right now - because of my anger against "what politicians were doing to the place," aka, America (exs: preemptive war; "Homeland" Security; The "Patriot" Act). And so I can tell you, dear reader, that 7 South themes contain a deeper meaning for me now than in 2005. How could they not?

7 South Themes: "Immense power, anger, and force" of the intial 7 South's "Mars square Pluto is channeled into this family of eclipses" (via the Mars-Pluto square of June 22, 1248). {}"Huge obstacles will suddenly and easily clear or, on the negative side, a pending potential crisis will suddenly manifest and move through very rapidly; either way, things will seem to move at great speed" (paraphrasing B. Brady).

Now as you may or may not know, Mars-Pluto square energies are formidable and on a mundane (political) level suggest power struggles, jealousy, destructive anger, and the urge to take revenge. Well, we both know who in the political realm this sounds like so his name shall not be mentioned in this post, not this time.

As for SO'W, I can only hope that such powerful energies and themes have been used on a positive level through the years for then something useful can be accomplished. And Capricorns do like to be of use, you know!

So in closing, mention should be made of the next manifestation of a 7 South Solar Eclipse for it is soon-coming and occurs @21Lib07:33 on October 14, 2023. It isn't a Total eclipse, only Annular so its potency will be somewhat muted, thankfully, since all 7 South eclipses carry the forcefulness of a Mars-Pluto square within them. However, the eclipse in October 2023 will fall between the planetary pair of strong political opinions, Mercury and Mars - and Jupiter @13Taurus during the eclipse conjuncts the North Node of destiny in the SR 2022 Horoscope, above, which suggests religious groups interfering in legal processes, and closed legal societies (M. Munkasey).

So perhaps we can agree that these potentials are already underway with America's tradition of separation of church and state underfire by bossy theocrats, ideologues, and mafia-esque criminal types determined to take total control of our country. Therefore, we must out-determine them and use the Mars-Pluto energies ourselves toward positive outcomes!

Now if only fussy words in a political astrology post, significant eclipse portents, and Biblical passages could inspire lovers of democracy to bestir themselves in November and Vote Blue in droves for the sake of America!

An Additional Note: A cosmic time link exists which directly affects America and the 2024 Presidential Election thanks to the 8 South Solar Eclipse @10Libra of October 2, 2024, the Prenatal Eclipse of Election 2024. Falling at 10 Libra, this activates by degree, fully or partially, the themes of the 7 South Eclipse of October 3, 2005 which you see marked within the lower left horoscope's 2nd house so that the themes of both eclipses could combine in a variety of ways when 7 South returns in October 2023. jc

Aug-Sept 2022 New and Full Moons with Mars in Gemini

Late Summer Lunations 2022: Cosmic Spotlight on the Virgo-Pisces/Victim-Savior Axis - and Mars Acts Up

by Jude Cowell

DC Horoscopes: A seed-planting phase of new plans begins with the New Moon @4Vir03 August 27, 2022 (lower left) culminating with the Full Moon @17Pis41 September 10, 2022 (upper right) spotlighting relationships and bringing fuller awareness and perhaps a measure of fulfillment. So this times a season when practical, methodical, critical Virgo leads society toward receptive, impressionable, secretive Pisces, with the polarity's Mercury-Jupiter and Mercury-Neptune vibrations.

Are These Lunations 'Wild Cards of the Universe'?

Notable is that New Moons can affect earthly events much as Solar Eclipses, disrupting and revealing such as erratic planet Uranus tends to do, while Full Moons can mimic the effects of Lunar Eclipses on health (mind and body), drug reactions, family matters, relationship dynamics, and criminality such as the throttle-hold on US Politics by a global network of organized crime now working in league with white nationalism, a global neo-nazi/fascist movement, and funded by freakish, wealthy ideologues and theocrats, many with bizarre religious views (exs: Opus Dei; The Family, promoter of annual 'National Prayer Breakfasts'):

Please enlarge or print the image for easier viewing. A few Sabian Symbols are notated on the chart along with basic chart details.

Prominent indications in the lunation charts include finances (Jupiter Rx until November 23, 2022), women's issues (exs: abortion; sex-trafficking), political power and struggles for control (Pluto in Capricorn in the lead again in September as America's first-ever Pluto Return proceeds with its destructuring-transforming activities of systems and institutions), "rapidly disseminated news" (Mars @"5Gemini" = "A Radical Magazine--"), the Full Moon's "famous revivalist" symbol: perhaps an orator such as Tr*mp, and rebellion and resentment (T-Square: Venus-Saturn = Uranus in the New Moon chart) ongoing by domestic seditionists and saboteurs of democracy many of whom are encouraged and funded by foreign governments (ex: foreign asset Tr*mp with the August New Moon's Vertex - 'VX' - of fated encounters @21Sag30 conjunct his natal Moon-SN with its revelatory Sabian Symbol: "A Chinese Laundry," an obvious reference to his decades of illicit money-laundering on behalf of various countries and oligarchs).

We should also keep in mind that the Sabian Symbol for Tr*mp's 10th house Uranus @18Gemini = "Two Chinese Men Talking Chinese in a Western Crowd" - and disruptive Uranus leads the rest of his natal planets.

A Big Wad of Stinky Old Gum Stuck to America's Shoe

Besides a variety of positive and negative transits to Tr*mp's natal chart during this time frame, of interest here is the fact that the September 10th Full Moon highlights the second of three oppositions by transit Jupiter Rx @5Ari49 to Tr*mp's natal 2nd house Neptune which denotes current conditions surrounding the orange document-thief with vibes of deception, illusion, delusion, unrealistic expectations, and clouded judgment.

This period began for him (and thus for America) with the first opposition by transit Jupiter-to-his-Neptune on June 15, 2022; (September 10); then the third opposition to his Neptune peaks on January 30, 2023. And of course, all of his speculation-prone, 2nd hou$e Neptune-Chiron-Jupiter trio in Libra of grand schemes, bubbles, and fantastical expectations (with wounded Chiron in the middle, a blindspot!) will be affected by the Jupiter opposition as well - opposing his natal Jupiter, no one will be impressed with his overblown efforts, plus, finances may suffer or donations stop piling in; this transit's effects will hit his Jupiter once on March 24, 2023 when "greener pastures" may call his name (flight risk!).

Yet ten days prior, transit Jupiter opposes his Chiron which suggests a more intense period of radical activities such as anarchy and zealotry - and the opposition perfects only once, with concentrated energies on March 14, 2023. I say, Indict Already!

Restless Critic Mars @ Perigee: Bigger-Brighter-Closer!

Now the primary planet to watch during the late August to September 2022 period and into 2023 via the motivational planet's long sojourn in Mercury-ruled Gemini is energetic Mars, moving direct in both lunation charts, as you see, then turning retrograde ('Rx') @25Gem36:50 on October 30, 2022 (at 9:25:39 am edt). Plus, the above Virgo New Moon on August 27, 2022 is squared by testy Mars (see lower left corner: The Cosmic Itch!) and perfects upon the very day that the 2022 Mars Max period begins; the period extends until March 16, 2023 with Mars @25Gem32 ('26Gemini' = "Winter Frost in the Woods").

For details concerning Mars Max periods when heated conflicts, confrontations, fires, danger, anger, unrest, turmoil, upheaval, and potentials for violent acts can more easily occur or be stirred up, see expert astrologer Richard Nolle on the topic.

Unfortunately, More Tr*mp Is Involved

Those familiar with the natal chart of Donald Tr*mp see that transit Mars in Gemini, during the turbulent Max period of perigee, will steam through the orange blighter's 10th house of Career and hit his chaos-creating Uranus (17Gem58 - his oriental "guiding planet") with its typical explosive, incendiary, overboard possibilities of the Mars-Uranus pairing - unstable and volatile especially in Mutable signs such as Gemini. Plus, Tr*mp's natal North Node and Sun in 10th house will also be hit by Mars in Gemini suggesting a period of energy, activism, and his usual duplicitous rhetoric issuing from the Geminian voices in his head.

So, my friends, forewarned is forearmed! Yet these are only some of the cosmic influences in late August into September 2022 which society must navigate prior to Autumn Equinox 2022 which begins on September 22nd when the Sun enters Libra, sign of the Scales of Justice - and transit Mars @17Gem04 directly ruffles the natal Uranus of Herr you-know-who.

July 2022 President Biden Tests Positive for Covid

July 20, 2022

Today it's been reported that President Biden has tested positive for Covid. Considering the gold standard of medical care that all US presidents receive, we know he'll get the best treatment that modern medicine can offer, and I'm wishing him a speedy recovery! Besides, he's apparently experiencing very mild symptoms and is taking the antiviral drug Paxlovid.

Yet I do admit that the themes of the 6 North Saros Series that we're now traversing has all along given me pause for concern in his direction - that he in his dotage could be one of the indivduals that 6 North themes are pointing toward if other conditions concur (along with J6 Hearing Chairman Bennie Thompson who will not be opening tonight's public hearing at 8:00 pm ET due to testing positive for Covid).

6 North Themes: "Relationship to authority or father figures" (Mr. Biden was just - once again - mentioning his father in a speech - and he's America's top Grandpa), "or the need to take responsibility and control" (declare climate change a national emergency?); "time to accept commitments which occur due to another person's illness or unreliability" (paraphrasing B. Brady).

So here's a previously published DC Horoscope of the April 30, 2022 6 North Eclipse @10Tau28:

And here's a horoscope of 6 North's initial manifestation on May 15, 850 (OS) @27Tau55 - opposing President Biden's natal Sun (vitality; life goals); both eclipses are in Venus-ruled Taurus which emphasizes the sign and suggests that issues of steadiness, stability, reliability, and perseverance are necessary for karmic progress to be made, plus, other Taurean concerns include resources, budgets, growth, preservation, even food supplies (negatively, the preservation of Secret Service texts regarding Trump's January 6, 2021 coup attempt were not preserved; possibly to be retrieved); add to this, potentials for Earth changes and environmental disasters as well:

Saturn Square Uranus: 'Old Order' Rule of Law vs 'New Order' Utopian Anarchy of Lawlessness and Chaos

by Jude Cowell

What a horoscope! For opposite (US 1776) Pluto Rx rising is asteroid of democracy, Ceres, closely conjunct the goal-oriented Sun @29Can11, a degree which when rounded-up = "A Daughter of the American Revolution." Perhaps because this degree's Sabian Symbol links to my natal Mars but for me, this shows both democracy and revolution in the hearing's spotlight, just as it should be, for this is the crossroad that America has reached at this point in time. And although it makes me very fussy, maybe the prognostication I read years ago: "1776 - 2025" will turn out to be accurate with Inauguration 2025, said to be our country's last.

However, please note that our nation does Not have to discard democracy and turn authoritarian, at least not under Democrats. To that milder end, this where I type, Vote Blue in 2022 - and avoid voting for candidates of the bizarre, freakishly paternalistic Chastity Belt Party now passing laws that 'legalize' the rape and marriage of young girls, among other anti-societal ruinous ideas. Your choice, of course. But please think of your daughters and the other ladies in your life.

As for the July 21st chart, see lower left corner for retrograde, karmic chart-ruler Saturn's one applying aspect, a square with zealous Uranus. The square will perfect on October 23, 2022 which may turn out to be a significant date especially since it comes tweo days prior to the difficult 6 South October 25, 2022 Solar Eclipse @2Scorpio conjunct the 1949 Ascendant of NATO (Putin's enemy), and with Nazi vibes in play.

Meanwhile, we should note that the ruler of crossroads, Mercury @5Leo08, conjuncts America's 1776 North Node of destiny! And you know that people here and across the world are aware that America is poised at the turning point of Democracy vs Fascism with paternalistic authoritarianism attempting to take total control of America as it has tried in the past, and failed. Unfortunately this time, the anarchic forces of evil and corruption are better organized with more members who, for some reason, assume that they'll come out okay, even exalted, after the dust settles. How stunned will they be to find that they and theirs will not be 'okay' at all? Taking forceful control of the 2022 Midterm Elections is suggested by themes of the 6 South October Solar Eclipse as saboteurs try to make historic events of the 1930s repeat in November 2022. Let's not allow it.

Now also in the horoscope, above, ascending is the Full Moon of July 13, 2022 @21Cap21 which we might remember since it perfected the day after the J6 Hearing of July 12th so during Thursday's hearing, something presented then may return for review or rehash, and probably will since the hearings are an ongoing process meant to hold accountable those responsible for disrupting our traditional peaceful transfer of power, and committing violent acts of insurrection on behalf of you-know-who.

Actually, there are multiple indications rising in the 8:00 pm edt horoscope of the July 21st 'Prime Time' hearing (unless a rescheduling occurs) such as the harsh, compressive January 2020 Saturn-Pluto Conjunction of evil, Trump's natal Vertex ('VX'), a point of fated encounters or wish fulfillment, and the January 6, 2021 'mob attack' Ascendant @15Tau54 at 1:00 pm est.

South Node "21 Scorpio" = "A Soldier Derelict In His Duty": "Complete Faithlessness to the Common Welfare" (M. E. Jones)

So as you see in the chart, Luna @15Tau18 also conjuncts the 8:00 pm IC, the HOW? Point and Foundation of the Matter, with warrior planet Mars conjunct IC as well but from the 3rd house of Communications. Maybe the July 21st hearing set to reveal what the faithless Trump did and didn't do while happily watching his coup attempt on TV against the US Congress as events progressed (gallows and all), and Americans were being maimed and killed in Trump's name, is what in a sense yours truly has waited for for years, ever since I noticed the 2020 Saturn-Pluto Conjunction landing upon Trump's natal Vertex. Fingers crossed!

We may hear from a 'woman of strong principles' or two with the intense Moon-Mars combo opposing MC and the Uranus-North-Node duo of radical reformist politics nearby in 4th house. As mentioned, opposite is the neurotic derelict soldier conjunct South Node of past behavior in the very visible 10th house of Public Status. Is that Cadet Bone Spurs on display?

Meanwhile, there's always the dire admonition of Regulus rising with Trump's natal Mars fulfilling his threatened destiny of "all that's been gained will be taken away" for those who take revenge. And as you know, 'revenge' is the orange blighter's middle name - and now it's the Republican Party's perogative to use violence. Video: Chris Hayes On the Implied Threat When Republicans Use Guns as Props in their campaign ads. Note that the organized crime duo of Neptune-Pluto @26AQ18 conjuncts the Anti-Vertex axis.

Now you may wish to consider the three stars rising with planets in this chart, one in particular is Pluto (now in process of the 2022 US Pluto Return which is also rising) and showing the J6 hearings as response to Trump's 2021 coup attempt and a major part of our destructuring Pluto Return - with effective rebuilding to follow ("positive social reform" star Zuben Elgenubi conjuncts MC). Additionally, higher powered Pluto Rx leads a ruthless Locomotive shape of planets, and rises on July 21st with Scheat, star of 'extreme misfortune, murder, suicide, malevolence, imprisonment' (A. Louis). As you know, it was Scheat that influenced Trump's 'prez bid' announcement at the Gemini New Moon of June 16, 2015 which fell snugly into the 17 South Saros Series of the Spring Equinox Eclipse of March 2015 - conjunct Scheat.

So now in 2022 the time has arrived for the piper to be paid, and the starring 'pied piper' is Donald Trump who, if any justice is left in the world, will be held accountable for his criminality and sedition - and will be the one who pays his debt to society since, in America, no one is above the law.

So let's consider a midpoint picture of potentials suggested here of 2020 Saturn-Pluto = July 21, 2022 ASC: "silent power or continuing influence" (M. Munkasey), plus, "placed in cumbersome and difficult circumstances; separation; mourning and bereavement" (R. Ebertin) with more than a little "sadness" added to the picture as well (N. Tyl).

Trump's Pluto = Mars-Saturn: Death of Many People; Fury; Intervention by a Higher Power (R. Ebertin)

Descriptively, the chart's Saturn-Pluto midpoint @10AQ57 in 1st house (with both powerful Pluto and legal eagle Saturn) opposes Trump's natal Pluto which indicates potentials for: "choosing either good or evil and dedicating one's life to eliminating the other; extreme changes" (M. Munkasey). In Putin pal Trump's case, we've seen that "the other" includes the United States of America and the American people as Krushchev's 1953 "we will bury you" threat plays out. One clue is the Neptune-Pluto duo of Organized Crime @26AQ18, as noted, conjunct the Anti-Vertex, and opposing Trump's natal Mars (26Leo46) - conjunct the hearing's Vertex! Look to corporate Cupido in 8th house for more information.

So we have Trump's mob-like activities in the spotlight Thursday evening with his Vertex in governmental Capricorn rising, along with his being "used as a tool" (by Russia? China? Neo-Nazis? Fascists? Other? All of them?). And for those who prefer the third-decan of Aquarius for the US Moon of 1776 (We The People), add "big mood sweeps" and/or "anxiety" (N. Tyl). Hopefully, restless minds will be changed (and eyes opened!) by the factual evidence presented at the J6 Hearings.

Now obviously, the current Saros Series (6 North) applies to all of the June and July Public J6 Hearings with themes of "relationship to authority figures" and "commitments accepted due to another person's unreliability or illness" (paraphrasing B. Brady), the meaning of which became clearer this very day with the announcement that J6 Chairman Bennie Thompson has just been diagnosed with Covid. Therefore, perhaps Rep. Liz Cheney will gavel in Thursday's hearing and it's been reported that the other Republican serving on the J6 Select Committee, Adam Kinzinger, will lead the proceedings Thursday night.

Wishing a quick recovery for Rep. Bennie Thompson of Mississippi!

Well, there's much more to the above horoscope and subject, but that's all I have today although additions may turn up. So leave your on-topic insights if you wish, and Thanks a Bunch for reading and sharing! Jude

J6 Hearing July 12, 2022: Connecting Dots

by Jude Cowell

July 12, 2022

Today the J6 Select Committee investigating the January 6th coup attempt of Donald Trump holds another public hearing with an opening time reset from 10:00 am edt to 1:00 pm edt (last I heard!). Below is a DC Horoscope of the event with America's 1776 Saturn (our legal eagle planet exalted in Libra and representing lawmakers) rising along with Trump's natal 2nd house trio of Neptune-Chiron-Jupiter. A few of Trump's 1946 placements are penned around the chart and highlighted in pink.

Chart-and-hearing-ruler Venus @23Gemini (in 9th house of legal afffairs) conjoins US 1776 Mars which suggests potentials for joint ventures with allies, muted aggression, but since Venus activates our nation's problematic Mars-Neptune square (here, a reference to misguided actors on Trump's behalf, plus, his own), we may also expect the proceedings to involve less than ideal circumstances, and a measure of disillusionment which may be a reference to Trump supporters changing their opinion of his nibs so perhaps we'll hear of such changing opinions during J6 testimony. See lower left corner for the two applying aspects of Venus:

Nodal Axis = Mercury-Neptune and Neptune-MC: 'Connecting the Dots' Between Bad Actors with Negative Intentions

As you see, the planets are in the shape of a ruthless Locomotive pattern with the out-of-bounds ('OOBs') Moon @6Capricorn leading the engine from the 3rd house of Communications. Of interest is that testifying Mercury is also OOBs so will someone zoom in to the hearing? Or maybe this refers to recorded depositions such as that of Pat Cipollone. Of course, Luna may refer in part to one of today's leaders of the hearing, Stephanie Murphy (D-FL), the other being Rep. Jamie Raskin who has battled against white nationalism for years and this may surface in today's hearing.

Meanwhile, today's planet of testimony and negotiations, Mercury (@15Can25 - conjunct the Pentagon's 1942 Ascendant) snugs around The Goal Point ('MC') along with the Sun @20Can20 and reveals objectives for effective communications on the world stage, and those who stand up for their convictions.

As for lunations affecting today's hearing, those are the 9th house Syzygy Moon (last lunation prior) which is the New Moon of June 29, 2022 @7Can22 (conjunct Trump's natal Mercury - he's to sit for a deposition in NYC), and the 6 North Solar Eclipse of April 19, 2022 (@10Tau28, here in 7th house) with 6N themes of 'relationship to authority figures' and 'accepting commitments due to another person's unreliability or illness' (paraphrasing B. Brady).

Well, I plan to watch the J6 hearing. How about you?

UPDATE July 12,2022: According to my handwritten notes taken as I watched today's hearing, Chairman Thompson gaveled them out at 3:58 pm edt. jc

DC Horoscopes: July 2022 Lunations

DC Horoscopes of the Two July 2022 Lunations

by Jude Cowell

Dual Images: lower left is the July 13, 2022 Full Moon @21Cap21 (in the super-sensitized zone of Capricorn where Pluto lurks) and with the Moon out-of-bounds of the earthly plane (as is Mercury @17Can42; detached? estranged?). Yet Luna leads a BOWL shape of planets (having a mission to fulfill or a cause for which to advocate) and on a mundane level can represent women, families, the public, publicity, and fluctuations and changes. Her sign of Saturn-ruled Capricorn suggests that the public mood is sober, serious, and focused on business, law, and government. The July Full Moon represents the culmination phase issuing from the New Moon of June 28, 2022 @7Can23 (showing a continuance of the June 2022 hearings) and this spotlights the natal Mercury of Donald Trump @8Cancer (a gossip, who likes to "hide the hand that flings the stone").

Then upper right is a new cycle of activity when seeds are planted and plans are made at the New Moon of July 28, 2022 @5Leo38 (conjunct US 1776 North Node) to be harvested or fulfilled at the next Full Moon (August 12, 2022 @19AQ21; chart not shown):

Health asteroid Hygeia is prominent in both charts rising at both Ascendants in Scorpio, a sign associated with surgery such as abortions, and with death such as those predicted to be the fate of many women in the US thanks to the regressive loose cannon decision by Catholic Supreme Court 'justices' gone rogue.

Thing is, I'd intended to publish these two lunar charts for the month of July 2022 based on the announcement that additional J6 Public Hearings would be held in July after the July 4th holiday but as you see, Hygeia and other chart factors have more or less taken over the focus of this post. Still, there are several suggestive study notes penned on the images for those curious enough to check them out. We should note that both lunations fall under the auspices of the 6 North Solar Eclipse of April 19, 2022 @10Tau28 with themes of 'relationship to authority figures' and 'accepting commitments due to another person's unreliability or illness' (B. Brady), so all of July 2022 (until the 6 South Eclipse of October) remains under 6 North influences.

And of course, all solar eclipses in Venus-ruled Taurus bring issues of perseverance, patience, reliability, and endurance. And on a pragmatic level, Taurus suggests economic concerns and growth potential, plus, a need to avoid bullheadedness if karmic progress is to be made.

So with the cosmic blink emphasis on Taurus, planet Venus becomes important to these and other matters and problems arriving with the eclipse, and we might think of Cassidy Hutchinson (no birth date found so far!) and her recent "smoking gun" testimony to the J6 Committee Hearing that, if any fairness is left in our country and legal system, will result in an indictment of the first-ever US president to attempt to overturn the Electoral Vote Certification in Congress, with a willful determination to establish himself as a dictator in the White House, democracy be da*ned.

Now as you see, Venus is in talkative Gemini (Cassidy Hutchinson? surely not the reluctant Ginni Thomas!) at the July 13th Full Moon but by the New Moon of July 28th, Luna has floated well into Moon-ruled Cancer (reflecting America's 1776 planets in Cancer) where she prefers security, protection, home, and family. Expectably, the far right's undermining of Miss Hutchinson's reputation will probably continue, and she will continue to need defending on physical, legal, and other levels.

Then also in the New Moon chart, we might wonder about Mercury @18Leo22, planet of Communications, Testifying, and Commerce, but also of children and babies for The Messenger planet reminds us of The Tower Eclipse of August 11, 2018, back when Herr Trump's damage to democracy was in full swing, and a 'collapse and rebuild' theme was spotlighted by the 2 New North Solar Eclipse.

Suggestively, Mercury is atop the New Moon chart at the visible Midheaven, the Goal Point of any horoscope which relates to Career and Public Status. Speedy Mercury is traveling with Toro, an asteroid associated with power including nuclear power.

Meanwhile, in a flurry of cosmic synchronicity, a Solar Eclipse @21Cancer (conjunct the July 2022 Full Moon's Sun = a culmination of full awareness: more secrets revealed) in the 2 Old North series manifested on July 13, 2018. And 2 Old North happens to be the Prenatal Solar Eclipse series ('PE') of one Donald Trump (who was playing president then) with its difficult themes of 'unfortunate news concerning relationships or friendships; dealing with separations; things look glum but fast action can bring positive outcomes' (B. Brady). My assumption is that the July 13, 2022 Full Moon will uncover issues in relation to 2 Old North themes - specifically for Donald Trump since his PE is re-activated by the July 13th Full Moon, he's the primary focus of the J6 proceedings, and, in a starring role - is the scofflaw perpetrator of extremely bad presidentin'.

And incidentally, do you know that for America's first-ever Independence Day, the month of July 1777 was replete with both a Lunar and a Solar Eclipse? An example is the Lunar Eclipse of July 20, 1777 @27Cap59 conjunct then-Pluto's position and our 1776 Pluto. And of course, the intense Moon-Pluto combination of energies relates to multiple things, one being criminal activities such as those we must deal with now - during America's first-ever Pluto Return (3x in 2022). It's all totally karmic after all, is it not?

Meanwhile, we know that the sign of Taurus can also indicate intolerance and greed, yet it's capable of expressing a good measure of patience. However, most Americans are tired of waiting for karma to catch up with the orange saboteur. Still, I must continue to wonder: Will Regulus Assure the Destiny of Donald Trump? with the star's 'ruination if revenge is taken' caution. After all, the grudge-holder's violent coup attempt on January 6, 2021 was certainly a form of taking revenge, was it not?

So then, at the very end of July 2022, a Conjunction suggesting radical reactionary politics, Utopian zealotry, and reforms takes place when transit Uranus Meets North Node on July 31st, exact at 4:05 pm edt @18Tau41. Rounded up, we have "19Taurus": "A Newly Formed Continent" = ORIGINALITY; positive expression: "a revolutionary potentiality by which each individual is enabled to remodel the entire face of the universe"; negative expression (shadow side/unconscious - jc): "a genius for futile turmoil and persistent upset" (M. E. Jones).

In closing, I feel compelled to add that this is the sign and degree of George Washington's natal Ascendant, and that, whatever reforms social meddlers have scheduled for America, I pray that they're in keeping with the first principles and freedoms that President Washington and other Founders set up for us to follow instead of the 'futile turmoil and persistent upset' that seditionists and saboteurs of our nation have long-planned in their fevered and malevolent minds.

DC Horoscope: Pluto Stations Oct 8, 2022

by Jude Cowell

Here's a quick posting of a DC Horoscope showing Pluto's Station @26Cap06 the moment that wealthy Mr. Subversive, the puppet master, pauses (as viewed from Earth) and begins moving forward. Zodiacally, transit Pluto has been creeping through old territory since turning retrograde in late April 2022 @28Cap35; as you see, many study notes are penned upon the chart including Pluto's rounded-up Sabian Symbol spotlighted by his Station: "A Mountain Pilgrimage" with its negative expressions of "superficial allegiances" and "false virtue."

Then as you see in Washington DC, Pluto Stations in 11th house, a position suggesting 'powerful political groups and organizations' but can also hint at the loss of a group member; also note that star of misfortune, Scheat, rises with two midpoints: fantasy-prone Moon-Neptune of mass delusion, and the grand-spirit, speculative, bubbly pair of Jupiter-Neptune, a duo that often can include religious ideals (fake or genuine). Then as you see, the Sabian Symbol in The Goal position (MC) of the chart is, "The Pope Blessing the Faithful". And note that these planets form a Seesaw pattern of pros vs cons (progressives vs conservatives) suggesting that tiresome political quarrels continue while the needs of the populace languish:

Worth a mention is the Mars-Pluto inconjunction indicating potentials for obsessive agendas and scorched earth competition, aka, cutthroat competition (Pluto, the assassin?). This inconjunction (quincunx) echoes America's 1776 Mars-Pluto relationship from Gemini to Capricorn along with a second cosmic echo: a foggy Mars-Neptune square of misdirected energy and misguided actions (see bottom right corner). Now not everyone will suffer under or use such difficult energies against humanity but we're talking Politics here so you know the ones who probably will.

Then for society in general, there's another highly significant factor - that rising Neptune Rx @23Pis26 continues to oppose US 1776 Neptune in the more fact-based sign of Virgo which describes major ideological clashes, some of a generational nature, plus, persecutions in the realms of civil and human rights, rascism included. And as you know, astrological Pluto (the dragon and The Pope) never minds benefiting from a heaping load of exploitation, you know. Money laundering, theft, and protecting his hidden wealth are his jams.

That this Neptunian transit of opposition proceeds in 2022, the year of America's first-ever Pluto Return, only adds to the complexities of conditions now operative in US society and makes clear that larger forces erode many of our institutions, systems, laws and traditions. Karmic in nature, these planetary transits show that the time has come for America to alter what needs altering but most of us hope for improvements, not dissolution! And we could have made such alterations without interference from bad faith meddlers, but this wasn't their plan.

And so these active Neptunian and Plutonian energies describe what I continue to assert are being purposefully taken advantage of by foreign and domestic saboteurs, working as agents of a global criminal network of mobsters and thugs, many of whom are, or are aligned with, international financiers and corporatists (a lucrative business arrangement for conscience-free opportunists, no doubt). In fact, the Neptune-Pluto duo of organized crime and misogynist paternalism is having its underhanded way just now, and America has congressional Democrats to deal with this global authoritarian movement raising its brutal head once again from the 1930s. To me this means that criticizing Democrats, well meaning as it may be, tends to undermine their efforts on our behalf and gives energy and support to America's enemies - my personal view but naturally you have yours.

October 9th a Full Moon @16Ari33, then a Solar Eclipse

Additionally, a major cosmic event arrives a mere 17 days after Pluto's Station, the October 25, 2022 Solar Eclipse @2Scorpio in the difficult 6 South Saros Series which I've labeled, A House Raising mainly due to its political implications, plus, it is the Prenatal Eclipse of Midterms 2022 (the very day of a Taurus Lunar Eclipse conjunct radical Uranus, planet of chaos). And to me it seems that the 6 South Solar Eclipse occurs close enough to Pluto's Station to have some measure of disruptive 'wild card' influence in relation to the horoscope you see, above (in 7th house).

So unless you, dear reader, are an out-and-out fascist with neo-nazi leanings (or vice versa), remember to Vote Blue in 2022 - and in 2024.

Because our democracy, our freedoms, and our lives literally depend upon it.

Blog Note: As of this Wednesday (6/29), this may be my last or next to the last post of the week due to an upcoming dental procedure. Thanks for reading and sharing! jc

DC Horoscope: Roe v Wade Overturned

Rampant Paternalism Off-The-Chain Chains Women

by Jude Cowell

Strange as it may seem, the SCOTUS decision overturning Roe v Wade was announced June 24, 2022 (approximate time 10:05 am edt) under the variable influences of an unaspected Mercury in its own sign of Gemini (10th house) with a rounded-up degree for Mercury's Sabian Symbol hinting at hidden meanings (such as wealthy Plutocrats' fear of reparation for past offenses - note that Mercury, planet of children and babies, conjuncts asteroid Hebe, the servant). Its unaspected condition means that none of the other energies and actors (ex: liberal Justices) in the chart received input from the planet of thought processes and decisions, nor gave it, and a maverick quality is evident. Obviously, the ideological split between the nine Justices is indicated. And symbolically, there's this:

Mercury at "12 Gemini" = "A Black Slave-Girl Demands Her Rights of Her Mistress" with 'tofu planet' Mercury conjunct asteroid MIDAS. This symbol refers, of course, to America's oldest flaw from the Jamestown Colony era and the importation of Africans into slavery and the fact that the 'white supremacy' argument still works as a wedge issue to keep us divided and conquered so that the power elite can continue to exploit at will. Turmoil in US economic systems, both then and now, are implied along with the old 'states rights' vs federal government quarrels and divisions.

Now there are other suggestions of financial issues in the chart as well: Sun-Jupiter = MC, The Goal; chart-ruler Sun applies once to square moneybags Jupiter in the 8th house of Corporatism, Big Business, Death, Taxes, and the Occult; the square suggests overblown or exaggerated intellect, the overvaluing of professionsal status and social position, trying to impress others - wonder who? - and financial implications such as increased wealth. Which share holders will benefit from the overturn decision I care not to consider at this early date, plus, polls indicate that a majority of Americans see the Dobbs decision as political and to this I would add, as part of the global authoritarian movement to sabotage American democracy via our Justice System (Neptune-Pluto = ASC):

As you see, with its typical timing potential, there's a YOD pattern of sorts (crisis; turning point) - or if we don't count this as a YOD, it's simply the energies of the Neptune-Pluto sextile expressing at the Leo Ascendant, the decision itself, which looks to be of an egotistical nature (Leo). Someone is being, or will be, used as a tool for other people's selfish interests--as is Donald Trump since his natal Mars @26Leo is also apex of the Neptune-Pluto sextile. I refer you to the Mercury-Hebe conjunction above. Rapists, pedophiles, and incestual family members must be rejoicing about now. And it only took a lawless 6-3 Supreme Court majority of "conservatives" to fulfill their degraded dream! Now they act off-the-chain, too.

It's Strong-Armed Paternalism in America

Previously, we've discussed on SO'W the Neptune-Pluto pair and its associations with paternalism, criminal elements, drug abuse, drug and sex trafficking, the supernatural, and/or unseen realms which suggests a bizarre spirituality such as Dominionism and religious cults, one of which has long been active in Washington DC: The Family ('The Family' is also described by 1st house Cupido conjunct royal Regulus; it's an organization that is all about seizing political power, Jesus Christ need not apply.

So I'd have to say that this particular American crisis may be described as paternalism and criminality at a turning point which was quickly grasped by dystopian-style authoritarians as their opportunity to enforce radical reforms (Uranus-NN = MC: sudden realization of a joint goal) through which they are determined to stop forward advancement of society - under cover of a "pro-life" stance (a principle honesty held by some folks, but not by these black-robed social meddlers).

As noted, the financial damage to society in America's early days of slavery and plantation life was a thorny financial issue, and so will be the damage to society now by the overturning of Roe v Wade, aka, the Dobbs decision. And that's not counting the civil rights mess and legal disruptions that SCOTUS has only made worse by turning back society's clock to vigilantism and citizens pitted against citizens - really? Can we expect horses and chuck wagons to appear next?

Then one might be tempted to think that potential reparation policies along with other social safety net spending (for abortion, contraception, medical care, to feed hungry children, among other things) have more than a little to do with the overturn of a settled law of almost 50 years' standing. Add to this the extreme turmoil and suffering about to result, societal harm that can be laid on the doorstep of the US Supreme Court, and which should scald the heads of the Republican presidents (from both Bushes to Trump) who shoved Thomas, Alito, Kavanaugh, Gorsuch, and Barrett onto The Bench from where they brazenly ignore the will of The People - not to except Chief Justice John Roberts who could do much better himself.

Previous Yet Related: Alito Draft Leak and a 1991 Eclipse (11 South = old methods fail, new systems are needed to deal with issues; blocks are violently or tragically removed - Brady). And note that the Roe v Wade overturn decision occurred under the 6 North Solar Eclipse of April 2022 @10Tau28 with themes of relationship to authority figures, and taking over another's commitments. Or the taking over autonomy and life choices of women, half the population?

June 13th Horoscope: The 2nd Jan 6th Public Hearing vs Donald Trump

Friday June 10, 2022

"Be There, Will Be Wild"

Dear Reader,

You know how things go along for some time with little happening in your life but then all of a sudden you're positively swamped? Well, for me this describes today until next Tuesday (6/14) so this post is for publishing the Horoscope of the second of the J6 Public Hearings with 15Leo50 rising on Monday June 13th, at the announced opening time of 10:00 am edt, with the Sun @22Gem33 as chart-and-hearing-ruler. The Sun's two applying aspects (how things will proceed) are listed, lower left corner, plus, the Moon @9Sag38 is quite busy for Luna is out-of-bounds (estranged: not watching? at work? angry?) yet she leads a Locomotive shape of the planets from the domestic 4th house.

Mundane Moon: We The People, The Public, Women, Publicity, Emotions, Moods, Trends, Shifts, Changes

This leading position suggests that the Moon conjunct warring star Antares (obsessed with success) is where most of the second hearing's energies will express. To me this implies the 2nd hearing's focus on women or a woman, plus, a focus on domestic insurrectionists and terrorist militia groups who showed up that day at the Capitol Building (at Trump's invitation and command) spoiling for a fight, ruthlessly determined to disrupt the congressional vote certification, and to threaten, if not physically harm, certain Congress members - and perhaps to execute VP Pence for refusing to go along with saboteur Trump.

Of course, complicit Congress members, part of the 'Big Lie' conspiracy and coup attempt, should be a major focus as well, but perhaps this comes in later hearings with the final one held on June 23, 2022 at 8:00 pm edt. And as we heard from Rep. Liz Cheney in last night's hearing, after the January 6th coup attempt, Rep. Scott Perry and other Republicans asked Trump for pardons to excuse their seditious actions! What a gaggle of malicious and sly dogs they all are. And probably, certain on-air personalities can be included in the seditious gaggle due to their massive disinformation campaign a la the Murdoch family, and the bad 'advice' they gave to Trump which egged him on to the depths.

Then as you see in the horoscope below, the current 6 North Solar Eclipse (@10Tau28, April 19, 2022) is near the top of the horoscope (MC @7Tau12 conjunct two stars: lone pioneer Hamal, and Schedir, the queen) with 6 North Eclipse themes of 'relationship to authority figures' and 'accepting commitments due to another's illness or unreliability' - B. Brady); also at Midheaven, the Goal Point, is the incendiary Mars-Uranus Conjunction which perfected on Inauguration Day 2021 @6Tau44; at MC this suggests such violent acts as 'putting a gun to someone's head' and/or 'taking drastic measures' (N. Tyl). I'd have to say that fomenting a violent coup attempt against the US government in order to stay in power is the drastic measure taken by wanna-be dictator Trump with his thugs fulfilling his wishes against Capitol Hill police officers and others:

June 2022: A Prominent Birthday for Herr Trump!

Anyone familiar with the birth date and/or the natal planets of Donald Trump recognizes that his Solar Return 2022 is happening so I've listed this at the top of the image. As it happens, the Sun returns exactly to natal degree on June 13, 2022, yes, but not until 7:26:15 pm edt. So it's a big fat Happy Birthday to the orange blighter that most Americans would prefer to forget after a cell door is locked and the key tossed away.

Plus, as the Cosmos would have it, it's that time of the month for Herr Trump who will experience a Lunar Return early Tuesday, June 14, 2022 at 4:21:27 am edt (also listed on the image, upper right) and at that very hour, transit Mercury, planet of testimony, hearing/s, messages, witnessing, and information, will rise and will have advanced from 29Tau57 to 00Gem32 - conjunct Alcyone ('something to cry about').

Well, yes, the blighter may boo hoo but most Americans have had much to cry about since Trump announced his candidacy of bigotry in June 2015 under the influence of the Spring Equinox 2015 Solar Eclipse conjunct Scheat, star of extreme misfortune - and I would say that Scheat's misfortunes were amped up by the March 2015 Eclipse and that together they 'brought' us Donald Trump, dripping with the karma of America's past actions and deepest neuroses. As you know, Star and Eclipse working together by conjunction amps up both of their indications. And nowadays, as the June 2022 Public hearings are being held, wealthy stealthy Pluto (publisher, corporatist, international banker, assassin, spy, dictator, The Pope) rises with Scheat suggesting catastrophes and possible self-destruction - as the US experiences her first-ever Pluto Return so the plutonian karmic implications are abundant on the negative side for primal violence, exploitation, and persecution. Positively, America wades through the muck and manages to restructure what needs improvement.

So to me, all this points toward our instincts about this year's major significance for our country and in part contributes to that shifting feeling that leaves us uncertain and anxious about America's future. Is it 1776 all over again? Some Uranian zealots and revolutionaries are behaving as if it is - are determined that it is because they say so.

Meanwhile, if We The People cling to the Public J6 hearings this month for an anchor, we may be disappointed that outcomes don't go as far as we think just and fair but let's not give up on outcomes or on the ultimate legal involvement of the DOJ. For as former federal prosecutor Glenn Kirschner always says, Justice Matters.

And so, dear reader, there are more stars and planetary factors of note in the above horoscope, plus, a few of Herr T's natal placements are penned around the chart (exs: Saturn opposing his natal Mars - resisting authority, anger, violent eruptions - and Jupiter opposing natal Neptune - fantastic schemes, fanatic ideas, confidential matters revealed). Hopefully, you'll suss out a few chart factors for yourself if you're so inclined for I must now skeddadle - why, we even have a family graduation to celebrate this weekend!

My Best to You and Yours, Jude

And in case you missed it: Horoscope of the 1st Public Jan 6th Hearing.

Saturn 2024 conj Fascism Rising Eclipse

Above: Bi-Wheel set for Washington DC including the inner chart of the 7 North 'Fascism Rising' Solar Eclipse of February 1933 relocated to our nation's capital; outer chart is the moment that transit Pluto finally leaves Capricorn and enters Aquarius (00AQ00:00) on January 20, 2024, which provides a major Plutonian vibe to the year of a Presidential Election (assuming that the US has one).

As you see, many astro-notes are squooshed upon the charts (mea culpa! again) meant for readers who care to look, where multiple indications of violence appear such as 1933's Marseillais Trio of violence (Neptune-Mars-Jupiter -- all Rx and frustrated in Virgo). These three planets by transit have been loosely conjunct in 2022 as several mass murders have been perpetrated and our children grievously killed as Republican politicians continue to protect the rifle-loving NRA (an arm of the Kremlin) with the group's 'death axis' conjunction of Mars and Saturn. It's there in the NRA Horoscope.

Meanwhile, the topic of Pluto to 00AQ00:00 has been previously discussed on SO'W and here are shown the midpoint pictures in effect on January 20, 2024 (from the chart displayed above), plus, the midpoint pictures in effect when Pluto first creeps into Aquarius on March 23, 2023 having previously done so in 1777.

As for the above bi-wheel and 2024 Saturn @5Pis13 'hitting' the Fascism Rising Eclipse degree of 1933, my theory is that 2024 Saturn in Pisces with the placement's 'struggle with opponents' (R. Ebertin) potentials describes people with the responsibility to carry out the themes of the 7 North Eclipse which disturbingly include 'deep passion long-hidden' and 'lust' (B. Brady) to which I must reluctantly add yet again my own assessment based on current circumstances: blood lust, and this, because evil forces via rascists and criminals are determined to "rise again" - unless we stop them.

For comparison: 7 North Solar Eclipses occurred in the years 1915, (1933), 1951, 1969, 1987, 2005 (@19Aries), 2023 (April 20th, Adolf's 'birthday eclipse' @29Ari50 which by degree conjuncts the January 6th insurrection Mars @29Ar54), and next in April 2041 @10Taurus which will ruffle the current 6 North Eclipse (@10Tau28) now in force. And please, dear reader, do not assume that neo-nazis and current-day fascists, foreign and domestic, are unaware of these cosmic synchronicities. Nothing happens by accident.

Global Depopulation Carved in Stone?

Today I ran across a Truthsteam Media video concerning the fact that way back in 2017 Bill Gates Warned a New Bioweapon Will Wipe Out 30 Million. Now perhaps we can agree that such a bioweapon has indeed been unleashed upon humanity and, as I type, is busy reducing the global population much as was promoted in the carvings on the Georgia Guidestones which recommended a global depopulation agenda. A devilish "guide" if you ask me but then again I am, admittedly, a suspicious gal particularly when it comes to governments and world class social meddlers, many if not all of whom, are acolytes and servants of Sata*. Perhaps recent Davos Summit attendees enjoyed some good chortles over how their depopulation agenda is going (but that's only a fanciful imagining of mine, right?).

So check out the video if you dare, and note mentions of new threats to humankind such as genetic engineering and synthetic viruses. Meanwhile, shown below is my version of the March 1980 unveiling of the Georgia Guidestones near Elberton, Georgia, a few miles from my hometown of Athens, Georgia. For the sake of comparison, the March 22, 1980 unveiling horoscope set for the speculative hour of 11:00 am ("in the morning," sources say) with Mercury (sight, unveiling) at Midheaven, the WHY? Point, while a delusional Moon-Neptune opposition rises and sets. As you see, the Guidestones chart surrounds what some astrologers use as a founding chart for America with Sagittarius rising, but of course you can place the 1980 chart around any horoscope you prefer, or none if you like. Added below the image is a link to my original post concerning the unveiling of the Georgia Guidestones - caution: a hint of prophecy may be involved:

Astrology of the Georgia Guidestones.

Extra Astro-Notes: Such a karmic time we're living in, my friends! The Guidestones' 1980 Chiron @10Taurus in now eclipsed since April 30, 2022 by a 6 North Solar Eclipse with its themes of 'relationship to authority figures' and 'commitments due to another person being unable to carry on' (paraphrasing B. Brady). Plus, 1980 Venus @17Taurus will be eclipsed in November 2022 by a Lunar Eclipse @16Taurus, what I've termed the Midterms 2022 Lunar Eclipse conjunct the planet of radical zealotry, Uranus. And of course, all eclipses are 'wild cards of the Universe' and may also be called 'cosmic blinks' from Above. Disruption, fated events, and changes of direction are always involved.

April and May 2022 Eclipses Stir Up Nuclear Concerns

'Wild Cards of the Universe' and 'Cosmic Blinks' From Above

by Jude Cowell

Dear Reader, you know that eclipses are just that, right? Something tossed into earthly affairs from Above, with changes of direction implied: disruptively Uranian, and possibly shocking in nature. For instance, here's a shocking event of worldwide importance which occurred under the influence of a 6 North Solar Eclipse:

Horoscope: Chernobyl Explosion of April 26, 1986 (RR: A) with Uranus Rx rising @22Sag00, Sun @5Tau22, Moon @24Sco26 - just spotlighted by the May 16, 2022 Lunar Eclipse @25Scorpio - Saturn Rx @8Sag35 (within the 'Nuclear Axis' degrees of 8-10 Gem-Sag), and Pluto Rx @5Sco59 opposing the Sun. And of course, the 25-27-degree range of Taurus brings in the Medusa star of rage and hatred, Algol.

To make matters more disturbing, the April 30, 2022 Solar Eclipse @10Tau28 also echoes the Chernobyl Meltdown because the 2022 eclipse was a repeat of the Solar Eclipse Saros Series in which the Chernobyl Explosion and Meltdown occurred, the 6 North. Yet no one needs Astrology to tell them that evil doers are on the loose across the land, my friends, and threatening to run wild as they did under the 6 North eclipse that manifested in 1932 @17Pisces. Events of 1932 and beyond resonate with Putin's "justification" for waging war against Ukraine because of an alleged nest of "nazis." But the truth is more like this: Putin: Ukraine 2022 vs Hitler: Poland 1939 - meaning that Putin's invasion of Ukraine is like Hitler's invasion of Poland.

Then another cosmic synchronicity is that the 6 North Eclipse @10Tau28 of April 30, 2022 spotlights the city of Washington DC, certainly a participant in all Ukrainian and putin-esque proceedings of the day. Follow the link and you'll see why.

Meanwhile, you've probably noticed that Newsweek ran a story in tandem with the May 16th Lunar Eclipse that Russian State TV Suggests Deploying Nuclear Weapons Against Finland and Sweden if they join NATO for protection against Putin. Allegedly, this would be Russia's "only option" and would make the threat to the two countries more dire. Naturally, the world thinks of the nuclear threat to the entire globe and the spector of WWIII.

But then today came a report that Putin backs down over NATO expansion as Ukrainian troops reach his border. Now his reluctance may only be a question of timing for the Russian dictator, but if this is truly the case, I must say that I like that journey for Vladimir Putin, and for the entire world.

And yet before 2022 ends, we'll see how things in the region play out as the October 2022 Scorpio Solar Eclipse of Power and Control conjuncts the natal Ascendant of NATO.
