Beyond Brett Kavanaugh's Crimes & Cover Ups - Thom Hartmann

Published September 16, 2019: here Thom Hartmann ventures beyond the usual topics that concern beer lover Brett Kavanaugh including the Republican cover-up of Kavanaugh's days working within the warmongering administration of George W. Bush and Dick Cheney:

Wonder if Kavanaugh, in league with Bush and Cheney, had anything to do with the attacks of 9/11/01--used as a pretext for war and invasion of the Middle East? At the very least, we know on whose watch the attacks were perpetrated as the Saturn-Pluto opposition fell across America's natal ASC-DESC axis and this stirs up questions about the upcoming Saturn-Pluto Conjunction of January 12, 2020 @22Cap46 and the fact that the conjunction hits the natal Vertex (22:51) of Donald J. Trump. The harsh Saturn-Pluto duo meets his Vertex at the crossroads, we might say.

So will Trump meet fated encounters? Changing work conditions? Both? Or something entirely different?

Trump Bank Loans and SCOTUS funny business

The related stories of Justin Kennedy's Deutsche Bank loans to Trump allegedly signed by Russian oligarchs linked to Putin, and Justice Anthony Kennedy suspiciously stepping down from SCOTUS so that Brett Kavanaugh could be shoved onto the bench continue to linger and, unresolved, have cycled back into the news along with the inconvenient fact that Justin Kennedy is Justice Kennedy's son working at an international bank that has a policy of hiring relatives of major power brokers, like say a Supreme Court Justice.

That something stinks in Trump's vicinity is definitely not news but such mob-style activities and personalities lurking behind Trump's curtains should be and should have been taken into consideration before the first vote was cast in November 2016 but the unsavoriness was kept just barely under wraps and out of sight and smell of the gullible lemmings who voted for Big T. Of course such voters may not have grokked the importance of such criminal tendencies and connections but we'll never know if such information would have made a difference in their selection of Trump. Probably not.

Of course, packing the SCOTUS bench with 'conservative' (radical reactionary) justices was a primary motive for zealous political and evangelical players, while the DNC's firm insistence on nominating Hillary Clinton as Trump's opponent makes it seem now (at least to me) that members of the Democratic Party hierarchy were complicit in the rigged 'election' of Trump whose illegitimate ties hide within his secretive 12th house of Politics represented by his belligerent Mars and creepy Pluto in Leo, sign of the natural leader. Descriptively, his unaspected Pluto, 'god' of the (criminal) Underworld, suggests a man overshadowed by shadows as he certainly is--and behaves like it. And some sources say that the co-signed Deutsche Bank loans go far in explaining Trump's subservient attitude and glowing praise of Vladimir Putin--and that 'King of Debt' Trump is actually bankrupt. Unsurprising, if so.

Meanwhile, Brett Kavanaugh and Neil Gorsuch willingly joined in with the SCOTUS-packing game which naturally boosted their social standings and incomes. (Apologies for I cannot say or type 'Justice' in front of sniveling Kavanaugh's name nor can I say or type 'President' in front of wastrel Trump's name, nor have I ever, for their charades and machinations have made an illegitimate mess that we're stuck in and yoked to but that should never have happened. Not that they didn't have help!)

So here is a previous post with a few astro-notes on Brett Kavanaugh (no hour of birth available last I heard) and another on his Prenatal Solar Eclipse, a post which contains a link to a now-timely-again article on the shady Kavanaugh-Kennedy-Trump trio and their sketchy financial dealings. You may remember that Justice Kennedy was said to be Kavanaugh's 'mentor'. Mmmm. Is that what they call it?

Then there's The Noble Family Tree of Justice Neil Gorsuch, a rather popular post, and The Prenatal Eclipse and Unaspected Saturn of Neil Gorsuch because it looks as if these jokers' names and flaws will 'grace' the news for a while longer--or we might say, cling like a square of paper stuck to the bottom of America's proverbial shoe.

Oct 8, 2018 Libra New Moon conjunct US natal Saturn

A New Cycle in the Saga of America's Libran Scales of Justice?

by Jude Cowell

On Monday October 8, 2018 at 11:47 pm edt, a New Moon perfects at 15Lib48 conjunct US natal Saturn (14:48) and denoting the beginning of a new cycle of activity in the realms of Saturn. That the Libra New Moon conjoining our national Saturn relates currently to the highly unpopular Kavanaugh seating on the Bench of the Supreme Court as a new term for the Justices begins seems obvious but in this complex universe of ours, this can hardly be the only result.

Upon reflection, my suspicion from within our two-tiered justice system, is that one result has to do with legal planet Saturn's realms of lawmaking and enforcing, responsibility, realism, authenticity, and accountability. For more details see David Sorota's article America's New Aristocracy Lives in an Accountability-free Zone in which Brett Kavanaugh is mentioned along with several other topics that lesson-bringer and taskmaster Saturn cannot possibly be pleased with. Naturally, Donald Trump's imperative that it be Kavanaugh on the Bench is noted because Brett is in favor of expanding presidential power (without accountability thus placing POTUS above the law) and will work to destroy states' rights to hold the powerful accountable for their crimes through state prosecution. Other far right SCOTUS decisions will be forthcoming, their degrading effects unknown but suspected at this time.

Yes, America's exalted-in-Libra natal Saturn has been under fire for decades (if not centuries!) and it became notably obvious in recent memory during the presidency of Bill Clinton when, in 1996, US natal Saturn turned retrograde by progression and has for years, been in early Scorpio rather than the legal eagle planet's more upstanding, comfortable position in Libra so that America's tradition of (Saturnian) reliability began to fade into Mars-Pluto-ruled Scorpio's brooding darkness and obstinacy.

And note that today's position of transit Saturn conjoins US Progressed ('SP') Moon (The People) which, as I type, falls at 2Cap31, a depressive, oppressive influence that a majority of the populace feels via the Kavanaugh confirmation and the expected negative results from Bart's future SCOTUS decisions which are expected to sway the court toward far right conservatism.

And since the horoscope of the New Moon in Libra links to the Pentagon's natal chart (plus, the New Moon chart's angles conjoin its natal angles--with US SP Jupiter Rx @15Cancer conjunct the Pentagon's natal ASC), below is our death star's natal chart with the Libra New Moon chart surrounding it. Notes are penned on if you care to enlarge the image where you'll see transit Saturn @3Cap24 in Pentagon's natal 6th house of Military, Police, and Civil Service inconjunct natal Pluto @3Leo30 (which conjoins its natal Chiron = plutocracy). Transit Saturn also opposes the Pentagon's natal Mars, the warrior planet (see notes on chart, lower right). Transit Pluto @18Cap46 is angular (conjunct Descendant) and, as you see, has entered the Pentagon's natal 7th house of Open Enemies and Partnerships from where Pluto squares the Pentagon's natal 4th house Moon @20Lib32, a period of obstacles placed upon desires. This Pluto also inconjuncts natal Jupiter (@20Gem59 in 12th house of Politics, Karma, and Self-Undoing) indicating opportunism is underway--that someone is 'victimizing' the Pentagon to satisfy their own personal objectives. Now who in Washington would do such a thing?

Well, 20Gemini points directly toward Trump's natal Sun-NN-Uranus trio and also toward America's natal Mars in Gemini which brings in our national Mars-Neptune square of misguided motivations and wasted energy which happen to be the themes of the Pentagon's Prenatal Solar Eclipse (@25Pis45--conjunct its Midheaven, the Goal Point!) in the 16 South Saros Series (see note on the chart). A 16 South solar eclipse last manifested on April 29, 2014 @9Taurus conjunct the Pentagon's natal Sun (8Tau38) and the next 16S won't occur until May 9, 2032 @19Taurus--conjunct the Pentagon's natal Mercury (19Tau07 in 11th house). Misdirection and waste indeed.

Oct 5, 2018 Kavanaugh Senate Vote as Venus turns

As I begin to type October 5, 2018 10:30 am edt, the Senate is said to be voting or are about to vote today on passing Brett Kavanaugh's name on to tomorrow's final vote on his confirmation to the US Supreme Court. My blogging time is brief this Friday morning so I'll simply publish the 10:30 am edt horoscope set for the Capitol Building with the 'noon' natal horoscope of Judge Kavanaugh around it and note the continued frothiness of the Jupiter-Neptune influences, plus the fact that Kavanaugh was born under the same problematic vibes of a Mercury-Neptune square that tends to live in its own imaginary world and have other tendencies which may be read about here:

You see Venus in sexy Scorpio at Station Direct and turning retrograde at 3:04 pm edt while still holding true are the things we've discussed about transit Jupiter opposing Kavanaugh's natal Jupiter (he's unimpressive--ask retired Justice Stephens) and Jupiter conjoining off and on his natal Neptune, a time of pretense, acting, and presenting qualities that one does not actually have--in other words, misrepresenting one's character. As for Venus changing direction on this particular day during this particular event, we might wonder if a lady (Venus) will be reviewing or reversing (Rx) her testimony or perhaps her vote, one way or the other. Please enlarge the image to read further notes.

Astro-Notes: Judge Brett Kavanaugh and the FBI

Now as we discussed in early September, the Kavanaugh SCOTUS hearing is a Jupiter-Neptune Affair replete with pretense and illusions. Due to many divergent paths that came to a crossroads on Friday, a "supplemental" FBI inquiry into allegations against Kavanaugh is ongoing as I type, and the FBI may or may not have until Friday October 5th to wrap up and present its findings to the Senate Judiciary Committee, findings the public may never see. A new SCOTUS term begins October 1st with no new member joining the Justices just yet, it appears, and of course the November 6, 2018 Midterms are only a month or so away. Delay of Republicans plans was not in the cards as far as they were concerned so congressional GOP members are about as hot under the collar as Friday's Brett or Lindsey Graham portrayed in thespian style.

So while they're all busy, let's search for clues ourselves by taking a quick peek at the personality blends of Judge Brett Kavanaugh, the angrily 'privileged' SCOTUS nominee, and the Federal Bureau of Investigation, the FBI, as we fondly call the Bureau which was created on July 26, 1908 Washington DC, no exact hour known so 'noon' is used as it is for Judge Kavanaugh born February 12, 1965 in Washington DC) both born with watery, tribal Cancer Moons. Potential 'weaknesses' of each blend are included:

Brett Kavanaugh Air-Water Sun Aquarius-Moon Cancer (Moon ranged from 00:28 to 15Can09 which falls among the FBI's natal North Node (5:03), Venus (5:21 Rx), Mercury (13:31), Neptune (15:18), Moon (9:43 to 21:43) stellium in Cancer:

"Unconscious prejudices; ability to rationalize irrational actions; a tendency to get absorbed in abstract causes which cuts (him) off from feelings and keeps (him) emotionally immature."

'Image for Integration': "A childhood memory becomes the basis of a new world order."

And by some operatives and saboteurs that 'new world order' must be draconian such as Republican politicians and their wealthy handlers would have it. Yet for those of us who care about the 99% and whether or not America is 'of-by-for' The People, Democrats seem a bit less creepy than the economic royalists of the GOP (who keep giving all our money away to the undeserving!) Plus, Democrats seem more amenable to progress rather than forcing our society to relive the 1850s and 1950s which is an irrational plan because it's impossible!

Now Kavanaugh's Sun AQ-Moon Cancer blend is shared by romantic poet Lord Byron who aptly informs us in a timely fashion that, "The best of prophets of the future is the past." And Kavanaugh's past teen and 20-something years and activities are a major focus of the FBI investigation--or should be.

FBI Fire-Water Sun Leo-Moon Cancer:

"Prone to sulk if (it) can't have (its) way; so self-absorbed that all signals from the environment are drowned out; engulfing emotionalism." Hmm. Could be worse.

'Image for Integration': "A young child sits on a throne, and with great dignity and tenderness, crowns his father and mother king and queen." No idea have I on how this may apply to the Bureau unless it's a mild reference to stamping an FBI 'seal of approval' on the one being investigated if he or she passes Bureau scrutiny with integrity, or at the least, with no criminal record.

The FBI's Sun Leo-Moon Cancer blend is shared by Welsh novelist Bernice Rubens who, born in 1928 on July 26 as was the FBI, could helpfully inform us and Judge Brett Kavanaugh that,

"The secret is to be true to yourself."

Horoscope: Lindsey Graham w Sept 27, 2018 Planets

The Wikipedia page of Senator Lindsey Graham provides basic details about his life including early life in South Carolina, his military service, and more. Now as you know, the senator threw quite a snit of miffdom over the treatment by Democrats of Judge Brett Kavanaugh this week with what was intended to be the senator's 'mic drop' moment. So, in honor of His Miffdom, I'm finally getting around to displaying a 'noon' version (birth time unknown) of Graham's natal horoscope set for July 9, 1955 in Central, SC:

Please enlarge the image to read chart details which include in green the planets on September 27, 2018, the day of the Kavanaugh-Ford testimonies. Also around the chart are a couple of Trump's natal placements which include Graham's natal Pluto @25Leo12 conjunct Trump's natal Mars, an explosive combination suggesting the power in their relationship is somehow weighted on the side of Senator Graham.

A strong midpoint exists with his Mercury-Neptune trine and Pluto at their apex; its potentials are noted on the chart as is Graham's Prenatal Eclipse ('PE') @28Gemo4 in the 11 South Saros Series; 11 South themes are penned on the chart. A Mercury-Neptune trine is often seen in charts of media figures and suggests one who is empathetic and can see many sides of the issues (Oken). This planetary pair is the one that gives Trump (and everyone else) so much trouble which, in a square for him, expresses as falsehoods, fantasy-world living, indiscretion, and misconceptions about others.

A Bucket shape shows a singleton Moon @7Pis54, the focal point of his energies and an executive-power indicator determined on success. Subconscious stirrings appear as the Bucket shape denotes one who adapts his allegiances to wherever they can count for the most (Jones) and my suspicion is that 'wherever' for the senator has turned him into a promoter of Mr. Trump's party of used-to-be Republicans...Moon @8Pisces: "A Girl Blowing a Bugle"--or, a Trump-et.

And with Lindsey Graham's natal Sun in mid-Cancer, we know that transit Pluto has recently opposed his natal Sun, a time when ego-bruises are possible, power struggles and no-compromise situations are in process, and the abuse of power or influence is a temptation. Yet also refusing to be a victim of manipulators is a potential as well and I suspect that's exactly what was seen during his snit of miffdom concerning the Kavanaugh Affair when his double Water Sun-Moon blend suddenly "gushed with feelings."

A Related Update: Trump orders a limited FBI probe to supplement Kavanaugh background check hoping to smooth the way for the one judge that appears willing to gift Trump with a free pass for his crimes, if needed.

Kavanaugh accuser Ford calls for an FBI investigation

By now you've heard that the accuser of SCOTUS nominee Brett Kavanaugh, Dr. Christine Blasey Ford, has called for an FBI investigation into the alleged assault at a party in Summer 1982 and while this may seem to discount yesterday's post of the September 24, 2018 horoscope of what was characterized initially as the day of the dueling testimonies of Kavanaugh vs Ford--and a huge hiccup for Donald Trump in the flow of his preferred judge's confirmation process--it doesn't negate the horoscope at all since whatever events occur on Monday on Capitol Hill will be found reflected by the planets shown in the day's horoscope set for that location.

Perhaps more importantly, the notes in yesterday's post concerning 'The Tower' Eclipse now in force in the 2 New North Saros Series and the synchronicity of a previous 2 New North Solar Eclipse manifesting on July 20, 1982 cannot be dismissed for the two eclipses represent cosmic time links describing the 'background noise' between 1982 and 2018 and call to mind the unpredictable Uranian nature of all eclipses which, acting as 'wild cards of the Universe', tend to reveal what was hidden, however inconvenient or scandalous the uncovering may be for the individuals who are directly involved.

Horoscope Sept 24, 2018: Dr Ford vs Judge Kavanaugh

This post has an Update September 19, 2018. Original post begins here...

Until today only two posts have appeared here concerning controversial SCOTUS nominee Brett Kavanaugh: Astro-Notes and an Eclipse for Judge Kavanaugh and Kavanaugh SCOTUS hearing a Jupiter-Neptune Affair (as in, frothy; attempting to fulfill a dream or vision - my guess: the end of abortion's rights in America, a complex issue where men shouldn't tread). Circled on the chart is transit Jupiter @20Scorpio conjoining Kavanaugh's natal Neptune while opposing his natal Jupiter. A squishy foundation of overblown dreams'n'schemes! Oversell! But he does have his Nodal Axis (21Gem/21Sag) conjoining that of Donald Trump which necessarily brings in Trump's natal Sun-Moon opposition on his Nodal Axis and suggests for them a cozy meeting of goals...is this a get-out-of-jail-free card for Trump with Kavanaugh On The Bench and following Trump's lead who is following the Kremlin's and China's lead?

Now today here's another 'Kavanaugh post' showing a 9:30 am edt time (speculative hour) horoscope set for Monday September 24, 2018 Capitol Building in DC, the announced date when Dr. Christine Ford and SCOTUS nominee Brett Kavanaugh are scheduled to testify concerning a disputed event from 1982.

A curious factor is that a solar eclipse in the Saros Series of the currently in-force Solar Eclipse (2 New North), which perfected August 11, 2018 @18Leo41, aka, 'The Tower Eclipse' for its *collapse of structures, lifestyles, or plans vibes, also manifested on July 30, 1982 (28Cancer). This may not be the Prenatal Solar Eclipse of the party and alleged assault but Dr. Ford has stated that she believes it occurred in 'summer of 1982'. See Timeline: How the Kavanaugh accusations have unfolded.

Now some hastiness is clearly noticeable in Republicans' 'shove him through' behavior concerning this particular nominee, as you know, and to some degree this may be attributed to the fact the new SCOTUS term opens October 1, 2018 with Pluto in Capricorn Station Direct @18Cap45 and an unaspected Jupiter--factors I hope to discuss in a future post.
