America's Chiron Return: The First and the Current

by Jude Cowell, partisan for the common good

As you may know, Election 2024 is occurring during America's current Chiron Return, a three-fer series that began April 20, 2024 (DC Horoscope shown, other dates listed).

Well, as the Cosmos has it - and since history tends to rhyme - America's very first Chiron Return/s (also a three-fer due to retrogradation) occurred in 1825 into 1826 @20Ari08 (as in 1776). The rounded-up degree's Sabian Symbol for "21 Aries" is "A Pugilist Entering the Ring." This word picture sounds like a contentious political campaign and subsequent election of a president, doesn't it? Or, make that selection.

Back in 1776, the pugilism obviously referred in large part to the then-ongoing American Revolution, what scofflaw Utopian anarchists are aiming to foment again - except that this time around, the 'maga' anarchists and their enablers represent economic royalists, aka, corporatists and wealthy elitists, and are not American patriots as some of them pretend to be.

So, considering that tomorrow is the very pivotal Election Day 2024, you may wish to read about the political events of 1825 and 1826 when the House of Representatives chose John Quincy Adams for the role. Why? Because no candidate received a majority of Electoral College Votes, a situation that may resemble conditions we face now in 2024, thanks to the current crop of Utopian anarchists who are fascistic and determined to complete the drive for world domination that their idol Herr Ad*lf began decades ago. The little dictator so wanted to coup America!

Well, in case a reader may wish to check out the horoscopes of America's very first Chiron Return/s of the wounded healer centaur, here's a tri-wheel of them so that the dates are readily available. For America's Horoscope, I've used the July 4, 1776 5:09 pm LMT Philadelphia, PA data (with Aries Point conjunct IC) but use whichever data you choose with mildly varying results from what you see here; Symbol information is penned on - negative expression because of the crude bullies our nation is currently infested with:

In closing, here are two additional factors to consider:

1. As with planetary returns, the July 4, 1776 aspects to Chiron repeat whenever Chiron returns to its 1776 degree. They are: squares from Sun and Mercury, a sextile from Mars, and an opposition from Saturn which is the more problematic aspect since it reveals issues with authority (monarchical) and with authenticity - you know, like we have now with bullies and crooks trying to take over leadership of our Ship of State and toss out the US Constitution We the People depend on.

2. If we relocate these first-ever Chiron Return charts for Washington DC, we find a few critical 29th degrees involved which will resonate with the current 29th degree condition of transit Pluto in governmental Capricorn, ruled by Saturn, planet of the law and order and our court system which the anarchists want to entirely dispense with and return America to some sort of a "wild west" free-for-all, with guns ablazin'.

"Brut*l Efforts to Start a New Order"

by Jude Cowell, partisan for the common good

Through the years of SO'W, we've discussed a variety of Jupiter-related topics yet for me, there's one in particular that rises to the top of my list of past conditions informing and leading to current events as Election 2024 nears and the stakes for our futures are pivotal.

Naturally, this concern is only one of many influences, yet cosmically it can provide a basis for, or a signpost on the way to, the anarchistic take-over energies of modern-day zealots (red cappers; militiamen; lovers of "strong men" dictators) and Utopians (promoters of lawless society and draconian authoritarianism in America).

And so the ravenous spirit now knocks at Washington's door, and cosmically may be observed in large part through the 2020 Great Conjunction of Saturn and Pluto (horoscope linked, below).

At least, in the language of astrologese, the 2012 YOD pattern provides a view of past influences affecting present circumstances for those with ears to listen and eyes to see. But not to fret, dear reader, for speaking or understanding astrologese isn't strictly necessary since astrologers translate cosmic images into English, or into whatever language a reader prefers. It's what we do.

So today, I refer to the Winter Solstice 2012 Horoscope - 12 years ago - with its crisis-laden, crossroads-reaching YOD pattern formed by the 2012 Saturn-Pluto sextile at the pattern's base pointing toward apex JupiterRx @8Gem54 in the 6th house of Health, Work, Service (Military; Civil; Social), and Daily Rounds - and with Jupiter conjunct US 1776 Uranus, planet of zealots, reactionaries, revolutionists, radical reformers, anarchists, zealots, insurrectionists, seditionists, saboteurs, "shock troops," (as Bannon called for) such as those we watched on TV as they stormed Congress on January 6, 2021. Plus, with expansive Jupiter in 6th house, we know there had to be abundant communications in 2012 concerning 6th house - and hidden 12th house - matters.

2012 Jupiter (The General) to US 1776 Uranus (Totem Planet of War)

Potentials of the 2012 Jupiter-to-Uranus transit include: expanded or altered horizons, freedom and independence concerns, unorthodox training courses, instability, unusual travel destinations, and/or heading in a different direction.

Now as you see, the Winter Solstice 2012 chart is set for Washington DC (my old stomping grounds) with apex Jupiter and US 1776 Uranus having the "9 Gemini" Sabian Symbol, "A Quiver Filled With Arrows":

Today (10/07/24), transit Jupiter clocks in @21Gem20 (conjunct US 1776 Mars: an expanded part to play in events) so the Great Benefic's Return to position in the Winter Solstice 2012 chart has already occurred: significantly it perfected on July 4, 2024, America's Independence Day! And Jupiter does prize his independence - to explore and expand, yes?

Then if curious, you may wish to review Events of 2012.

And for more cosmic information, let's read the planetary trio plus one of 2012 as midpoint pictures of potentials:

Saturn-Pluto = Jupiter: religious and social fanaticism; difficulties caused through illness (R. Ebertin): people with leadership and power to dispense (M. Munkasey); austerity; trouble with authority; trying to save what's left (N. Tyl).

Same picture but substitute US 1776 Uranus in place of 2012 Jupiter and we have:

Brut*l efforts to start a new order; an attack, regardless of potential losses (NT); sudden acts of vi*lence (RE); erratic or uneven use of retaliatory methods; sudden changes or upsets in plans; reforms in the way punishment is given for important crimes (MM).

If only we'd known in 2012 what we know now.

To review the January 12, 2020 Conjunction of Saturn and Pluto in Capricorn try this previous SO'W post. You'll remember that the January 2020 Conjunction of old man Saturn, the devil, with primally viol*nt Pluto, planet of death, spies, the morbidly rich, destruction, and transformation landed directly upon the natal Vertex of a certain predator sporting an orange hue.

Bannon for Prison: Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Rand

by Jude Cowell, partisan for democracy

Admittedly, soon-to-report-to-prison-by-July-1st Steve Bannon (BBC News), podcasting bigmouth promoting lawless Tr*mpism, has for years reminded me of historical figure Albert Pike both in physical looks (check out Albert's photo), and ideologically from sedition to the dream of a third world war and global fascist domination, all Uranian pursuits of chaos, disruption, and mayhem.

Actually, their shared anti-humanity agenda has sometimes been put in the category of "Utopian Idealism" in which lawlessness is the ruination of civilization (and the bad guys win), and Ayn Rand's sociopathic idolatry of serial murder is alleged to be the "moralistic" way to exist - selfishly by objectivizing other people. If you're not one of the ones deemed by narcissistic sociopaths to be dispensible, that is.

Of course, since 1776 this American experiment is about mankind's ability to govern himself but that's not what Uranian zealots want - they're determined to be the ones doing the governing like feudal overlords holding all the wealth and privileges. And all spearheaded by a "president" gifted with total immunity for any crime he's in the mood to quixotically commit, including murder, Ayn Rand's favorite. In other words, no one will be safe, even the enablers of their psychopathy.

For background see How Ayn Rand Became An Admirer of a Serial Killer (not for the squeamish). And here's a view of Rand's natal horoscope where we find her natal Chiron now visited by transit Pluto, the Plutocracy duo, and her natal Venus, apex of a T-Square, is lingeringly contacted by transit Neptune @29Pisces. She'll get no glamorous portrait from me!

Now I prefer never to chortle over the misfortune of others but if I relent, it always concerns what they're reaping due to their own sorry behavior. This is what I call karma - reaping what's been sown, a natural law that no earthling can escape forever. Yet despite this, if Steve Bannon does see the inside of a jail cell, I'm certain he'll manage to make as much out of it as possible. Sabotage by Uranian zealots goes on!

Pike, Tr*mp, Bannon: Jupiterian Figures with Uranian Intent

Above you see a NASA portrait of planet Jupiter. But for the scheming podcaster's natal chart details try: Steve Bannon: In the Realms of Jupiter.

And so a typical cussedness we've seen a lot lately in US politics has been denial of responsibility by the guilty, and we can easily plop the names of scofflaws Bannon and Tr*mp in the blank spaces. Therefore, a reluctant peek at current planetary transits to Bannon's natal planets had to be done with an emphasis on Saturnian responsibility. Here is the primary transit I discovered:

On June 14, 2024, transit Saturn @19Pis14 sesquisquares his natal Saturn @4Scorpio, which marks a period of complexity when Herr Bannon must face up to his responsibilities. It's a karmic time finally come, and he'll reap what's been sown and, if he's smart, he'll correct past mistakes, if he's willing.

For as you know, this legal predicament issues from his lack of response to a congressional subpoena concerning the J6 coup attempt, with lawmakers and an authoritative subpoena falling obviously under the auspices of planet Saturn and the fact that Bannon was called to Capitol Hill to account for himself, a societal responsibility which he declined to fulfill.

The Solar Eclipse of Thomas Jefferson

https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Thomas_Jefferson_by_Rembrandt_Peale,_1800.jpg

By "Solar Eclipse of Thomas Jefferson" I refer to the Solar Eclipse Saros Series during which his birth took place on April 2, 1743, and to his Prenatal Eclipse ('PE') itself in the 15 South Saros Series, shown, below.

Here is an image of Mr. Jefferson's PE Horoscope with my study notes, plus, 15 South themes, penned on (via B. Brady; top center). The chart is set for his location of birth, Shadwell, Virginia and a link to his natal horoscope is added, below:

Now often a birth time of 1:53 am LMT is used for Jefferson's natal chart (with 18Cap17 rising and a 10th house Pluto Rx @16Sco04), however, other birth hours have been proposed here and there, some through rectification of life events. I tend to use the 1:53 am chart because I've read that it's close to early morning time from the notes his father wrote upon the occasion. (Any reader with more info, please leave a comment!)

So here's a link to the astrodatabank version (RR: X = date without time) which displays no house cusps, only planetary positions in Thomas Jefferson's Natal Horoscope.

And this is one reason I always check out the PE of a person or event especially ones without a known hour - because with eclipses, the Cosmos always gets the timing exactly right!

A Very Descriptive Sabian Symbol

Jefferson's PE @5Sag: "A Wise Old Owl Up In A Tree" which emphasizes his erudite studies, the then-rural Monticello countryside, and Jefferson's preference for solitude which is also a feature of Neptune-North-Node ('NN') = Midheaven. In addition, Neptune Rx in Moon-ruled Cancer (high sensitivity!) leads a Locomotive shape of his eclipse planets suggesting a ruthless determination toward success - a desire perhaps well-hidden since nebulous Neptune is the engine. As you know, this was the way desires to hold political offices (and generalships of an army!) were done back in the day. Now I know what you're thinking, dear reader: is there a Locomotive led by Neptune in Jefferson's natal chart? Nope. So without a consideration of his Prenatal Eclipse Horoscope, I'd not be mentioning the implications of a ruthless Locomotive for Mr. Jefferson who, after all, made it to the top as President of the USA.

Note: No, the "YODs" in this chart are not actually considered YODs because the third 'leg' is only an angle, the Midheaven, instead of a planet. Therefore, I've listed them as midpoint pictures (center) and inconjuncts (lower left).

Belarus founding data 1920 and 1991 plus an Eclipse

The Road to Belarus Began in 1918 during the German Occupation of the Region

by Jude Cowell (aka, Judith Cowell)

As you've heard, upheaval is occurring in Belarus over fake election results so with Belarus in the news, I'm adding for current or future reference the two sets of data for the founding of Belarus published in Nicholas Campion's The Book of World Horoscopes. Two horoscopes for Belarus ("White Russia") are provided:

Chart #025: "Belarus - Communist" August 1, 1920 12:00 EET (no exact hour known) Minsk, Russia; Sun conjunct Neptune in Leo, Moon @25AQ11; Mercury, Venus, and Jupiter also in Leo; Saturn @10Vir27 opposes Uranus Rx @4Pis41 ('old order vs new order').

Chart #026: "Belarus - Independence" August 25, 1991 18:00 GMT Minsk, Russia ("independence proclaimed between 14.54 GMT and 18.03 GMT"); early Virgo Sun, Moon @6Pis17; triple Leo conjunction of Mercury-Jupiter-Venus with Mercury and Venus both Rx; Saturn Rx @1AQ27; Uranus Rx @10Cap05 conjunct Neptune Rx @14Cap15 (the 'new world order'/"Enlightenment" pair).

The Prenatal Solar Eclipse Saros Series ('PE') under which Belarus declared its independence from the USSR is the 11 South which perfected on July 11, 1991 @19Cancer. Notably, this 11 South of 1991 is also the PE of GHW Bush Sr's creepy 'new world order' speech he delivered to the US Congress on September 11, 1991 touting the globalist Utopian agenda, so long-planned, as a "big idea." You'll note the sinister "9/11" pre-echo.

So to me, spokesman Bush's "big idea" sounds much like the major clue that wafted from the midpoint picture formed by transit Pluto in 2017, the very year Trump pretended to take the Oath of Office and swore his (elusive) allegiance to the US - the year when creepy saboteur Pluto hit the degree of 1993's Uranus-Neptune Conjunction/s @18Capricorn: "The big picture commands a certain course of action which must be followed; very little option to do otherwise" (Tyl).

And the Sabian Symbol for "18Capricorn"? "Smug or strong-armed paternalism." (Jones). Dane Rudhyar gives the degree a revealing picture of "The Union Jack Flag Flies from a British Warship"; he adds, "POLITICAL POWER, its values and its dangers."

Other than perhaps 11 South's themes listed below, I have no insights whatsoever into how Belarus and its current turmoil and violence might play into the Utopian "big picture" which is clearly on someone's radical agenda. Therefore, observers such as myself must wait and watch despite the distractions in the US being play-acted by figurehead Trump whose entry onto the World Stage may seem like a detour on the road to a 'new world order' but whose White House tenure of disruption, chaos, corruption, lawlessness, and anti-constitutionalism may be just what the globalists ordered from the start. Because Democracy and old-fashioned nation-states do get in their way.

So let's close with the themes of 11 South: "the need to make sudden reforms; old ideas and methods fail and new systems are required to deal with events; people will need to think of new ways of handling issues; any blocks could be violently or tragically removed" (paraphrasing Brady's Predictive Astrology). Obviously, when it comes to 11 South eclipses, turbulent proceedings are part of the cosmic picture.

And for the sake of historical comparison, the years in which an 11 South Solar Eclipse manifested are 1901, 1919, 1937, 1955, 1973, (1991), 2009 (@29Cap27), 2027, 2045. Oh and by the way: 11 South is the PE series of the American Revolution with its Total Eclipse clocking in @11Pis11!

Not only Was America Not Christian but Founders Invented a Goddess

Now as a Christian myself, I know that this recent segment from Thom Hartmann may ruffle a few feathers in the realms of "America Was Founded as a Christian Nation" (incorrect as that is! the US is more of a Utopian Uranus-Neptune trine affair!) but what Thom says is true: our Founding Fathers set up America as the 'New Atlantis' via principles of The Enlightenment which were secular (based on reason, the Uranian half of the equation) and they 'invented' the goddess Columbia to watch over our nation--our 'totem goddess' we might say (see Capitol Building dome!).

Please allow Thom to explain if you haven't run across the following segment already:

Looks as if Columbia Wants You!

Trump, Venus, a Pagan Egg, and the 2020 Election Cycle

Are We All Pagans Now?

by Jude Cowell

Over at The Maddow Blog a headline appeared May 2nd saying that the Trump Team flubs the first ad of the 2020 election cycle so, on the topic of a 2020 Trump campaign for a second term, it behooves interested astrologers to discover the position of planet Venus on Election Day November 10, 2020 since goddess planet Venus links to our every-four-year election cycle (eight if a president is re-(s)elected).

For as you know, the White House's 'Oval Office' is a not-so-subtle shout-out to Venus and the World Egg, aka, the Orphic Egg, and America's Founding Fathers, mostly members of secret societies of a pagan persuasion, honored the goddess with statues and symbols all over the District of Columbia--including the feminine statue atop the Capitol Dome, and by their descendants' acceptance from French Freemasons of Lady Liberty with her Illuminati torch held aloft in New York Harbor.

And perhaps you're aware of the many Zodiacs the Founders sprinkled around Washington DC and certain Egyptian obelisks positioned in certain high places?

According to the Venus Cycle of US presidential elections, the outcome can be ascertained by the position of planet Venus on election day (with only two exceptions involving FDR and Reagan) that if Venus is Morning Star and in the sign of Libra, the current party occupying the White House will retain the presidency for a second term. If Venus is Evening Star and in the sign of Sagittarius on that date, a rival party candidate will be the victor as was the happenstance on November 8, 2016 with Venus in Sagittarius, sign of the foreigner. And I know you heard the words "an outsider" touted often during the lead up to November 8th and that's what we got--a businessman, real estate mogul, and beauty pageant/wrestling promoter all bundled into one regressive Republican named Donald Trump (his mobster ties notwithstanding).

Although it's difficult now to see how Mr. Trump can 'grow' into a state of suitability for the presidency enough to warrant a second term, and barring more scandals that reach the impeachment standard, the disturbing news is that on November 3, 2020, Venus will be @15Libra and bright and shiny in her Morning Star capacity which presages a retaining of the White House for the incumbent party (whether it's Trump, Pence, or Paul 'Ron' Ryan). Oddly enough, 15Libra is the exact position of planet Jupiter as I type today and Mr. Trump, the Uranian CEO and broadcaster, is also very much a huge Jupiterian!

What will transpire over the first term of Mr. Trump is unpredictable with his quirky oriental Uranus in Gemini leading all his natal planets from natal 10th house of Career and Public Status. Is there a scandal serious enough to take him down and leave the American people with a Puritan Mr. Pence who left his state of Indiana in turmoil? It would seem America's days as a sovereign nation are numbered and the political class's blending of church and state now in process may lead to revolt among our Puritans who are originally more pagan than they seem to know. Of course, Pagans vs Christians is exactly what Utopians have wanted for centuries along with East vs West and global turmoil.

For more on such topics, you may wish to see Prince Charles: "I Am a Descendant of Dracula" (w/ video and more). For as you know, Founder John Adams and his ancestors such as Henry Adams were members of the Order of the Dragon who immigrated to America under the Puritan guise to escape England's persecution of their paganism, a form of 'founding America for the sake of religious freedom' that current day Christians are convinced describes only them!
