After watching Prime Video's Becoming Katherine Graham, I decided to check out an event featured in the documentary, the Pressmen's Strike of 1975 against the Washington Post. The sabotage of WaPo's printing equipment began in the early morning hours ("around 4:00 am") of October 1, 1975 under the influence of a 13 South Solar Eclipse (themes listed, below).
But it was later on October 2, 1976 that an effigy of Katherine Graham was burned in the street by a crowd of about 1,000 supporters of the strike who'd met in DC's McPherson Square and paraded under WaPo's windows, observed by the lady herself.
So considering the obvious suggestion of viol*nce in the fiery symbol, who do I apologize to for wondering if a "vast right-wing conspiracy" - retaliating for the Post's extensive Watergate burglary coverage of a Republican president, coverage that led to Dick Nixon's subsequent resignation from the presidency - had supported in some way the 1975 strike against the "liberal" newspaper, and against Katherine Graham specifically? Or at the least, who behind the scenes cheered for her troubles and perhaps wrote a few checks?
Astrology: June 16, 1917 - July 17, 2001
Above is a bi-wheel of Katherine Graham's natal chart (inner; set for the Starkman-rectified hour of 10:14:28 am est NYC on June 16, 1917) surrounded by her timed death horoscope of July 17, 2001 11:56 am mdt Boise, Idaho - in hospital. Surgery was performed yet death arrived 3 days after after she'd fallen on a concrete walkway injuring her head on July 14th.
Sadly, Mrs. Graham never regained consciousness and, as we see, was in process of experiencing her Uranus Return, a three-fer due to the planet's periods of retrogradation (return dates are listed, lower right corner). Now as you know, erratic Uranus can trigger sudden shocks and/or accidents like a "bolt from the blue." And her first Uranus Return on April 2, 2001 shows a Saturn-square-Uranus transit for her with 'old order vs new order' implications and a generational clash as authority and tradition are challenged by future plans - was this a topic at the Sun Valley conference she was attending? Well, obviously, large reforms within government and society were soon coming once the WTC attacks of 9/11/01 had been perpetrated in September. Hmmm.
Pressmen's Strike 1975's 13 South themes include: sinister energy, striving for group endeavors positively or negatively, and a potential for crisis (paraphrasing Bernadette Brady's Predictive Astrology #ad). Additionally, a mention of cosmic synchronicity should be made because Katherine Meyer Graham was born into the 9 New North Saros Series which happens to be the very Series through which we now navigate with 9NN themes of 'accidents, great physical effort', and/or 'viol*nce' (B.B.) Not to alarm, just to inform: keep an eye on safety.
And so by posting this small tribute to the illustrious lady, my hope on this Easter Sunday is that Katherine Graham may R.I.P.
