April 2025 for Mr. Trump

by Jude Cowell, partisan for the common good, Daughter of the American Revolution

With expansive planet Jupiter traversing Mr. Tr*mp's 10th house of Career and Public Status where his Uranus-North-Node-Sun trio resides, let's consider a few of Jupiter's potential effects in April for the determined-on-success "Mr. T" (one of my pet names for him).

Overblown and Over the Line As Usual

So in April 2025, Mr. T's well-known "lucky streak" continues, even expands. A stand-out transit is expansive Jupiter conjunct his natal 10th house Uranus (17Gem53) which simultaneously forms a Jupiter-trine-Jupiter transit for his stationary 2nd hou$e Jupiter @17Lib27 which stimulates his natal Jupiter-Uranus trine of good fortune and lucky breaks. The Sabian Symbol for 18Gemini: "Two Chinese Men Talking Chineses in a Western Crowd" - as I'm certain they do. We might also mention that the Symbol for his natal Moon degree is "A Chinese Laundry," and his South Node = "Immigrants Entering a New Country".

Why even the transiting Moon chimes in on April 12th by spotlighting his natal Jupiter in Venus-ruled Libra, and as you know, a blending of Moon-Jupiter tends toward happiness yet legal conflicts are other possibilities - especially with his Jupiter in Scales of Justice Libra. Plus, the Libra Moon is handle of a Bucket so action is directed by, or is filtered through, the Lunar connection to his natal Jupiter: wife, lady lawyer, or perhaps both?

Bi-Wheel: Tr*mp natal (inner) surrounded by the Transit Chart of April 12, 2025 9:42:33 am edt; notably, this is actually the third of three conjunctions of tr Jupiter to his chaos-creating Uranus (his guiding planet) since entering 10th house in May 2024, so the third conjunction shown here qualifies as the resolution phase. My astro-notes are listed on the image for the curious reader; see the bottom of the image for other transits of Jupiter - two more in late April, and Jupiter conjunct natal Sun once on May 8, 2025; naturally, other transits and progressions can modify these Jupiterian potentials but today we're focused on transit Jupiter in Gemini for the Orange Jupiterian:

So it's good fortune all around for America's albatross and significantly, transit Jupiter won't leave its shadow until April 30, 2025 which precisely marks the end of Mr. T's "first 100 days" of his second term - and on this very day comes an emotionally lowering Jupiter-opposite-natal-Moon transit listed, lower right corner. Then apparently not quite everything will be "coming up roses" in April for Mr. T., including his domestic scene, relationships with females (a break-up?), and/or there may be conflicts with family members.

Tom Homan the "Border Czar"

by Jude Cowell, partisan for the common good

Let's take a look at the natal planets of lawman Tom Homan, Mr. Trump's choice as "border czar" once his draconian Project 2025 purge agenda gets underway in 2025.

Born in West Carthage, New York on November 28, 1961, the natal Moon of Thomas Douglas Homan remained in Leo for the entire 24 hours of the day, and with Sun in early Sagittarius, baby Tom was and remains a volatile, dramatic double Fire individual, a good blend for law enforcement as are his Mercury and Pluto in mutual reception (surveillance; obsession with delving into people's secrets). Meanwhile, his Sun-Mars Conjunction ruled by expansive Jupiter provides Mr. Homan with plenty of energy for chasing crime, engaging in a variety of physical activities, and such.

So in lieu of an accurate birth time, here's the 12:00 pm est natal horoscope of America's new "border czar," Tom Homan - unless Trump quirkily changes his mind; notable is his 18 North Solar Eclipse Series for which we need no accurate birth time, only a date:

Additionally, Mr. Homan's Sun-Mars duo is squared by both Uranus and Pluto so you'll spy a few notations penned on the chart relating to potentials for ruthless energy, militarism, and force.

Then another signficant notation on the chart is his Jupiter-Saturn duo (government officials; politicians; lawmen; clergymen), the midpoint of which now has transit Pluto @29Capricorn activating the duo's energies in society. Not for the traditional checks 'n' balances, but for possibilities of violent changes, immense effort, separation, and/or restriction (R. Ebertin).

Of course, before any of this can poise upon the edge of reality, Mr. Homan must first navigate the choppy waters of the Trump administration's appointment process which, as we've seen in the past, is inherently unstable and dependent upon erratic, fantasy-prone individuals.

119th Congress: Jeffries or Johnson?

Placing the noon Horoscope of the 119th Congress (January 3, 2025) inside bi-wheels with natal horoscopes of House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries and current Speaker of the House and election denier, maga Mike Johnson produces plenty of food for thought, as they tend to say. This we did at the end of September 2024 so you may wish to check out the bi-wheels, if you have a moment.

Of course, hopefully there will be results from the 2024 Election prior to the swearing in of the 119th Congress so the identity of the House Speaker will be known even if Tr*mp's sore loser disputes continue as expectably they will. And of course, Hakeem Jeffries is the new Speaker only if the victor is Kamala Harris!

Now in my last post we considered A quirky way to predict the Election 2024 outcome by comparing certain midpoint pictures. Here's the image we used so you don't have to read the post to find out the atmospheric variations between a Harris victory and a Tr*mp finagled victory; this isn't a typical method of prediction so take with as many grains of salt as necessary:

A quirky way to predict Election 2024?

by Jude Cowell, partisan for the common good

So many astrologers, so many methods to forecast the winner of Election 2024! Or at least ways to describe the trends therein. One premium factor to consider is the New Moon prior to the Election which just perfected this morning @9Sco35 at 8:47:06 am edt. And basically, it's a Lunar Return to the 2017 Inauguration Moon with its "unforgettable ties."

Well, this post presents a rather quirky or unorthodox method regarding the Election using Composite/Davison horoscopes and utilizing the midpoint pictures that form from the composite horoscopes for both Kamala Harris and for Donald Trump blended with the Election 2024 chart. Please note that if other astrologers have used this method for election outcomes, I am unaware of it; they may inform me if they wish!

Because combining (averaging) each individual's natal horoscope with the Election Day 2024 (November 5th) Horoscope (here I'm using 8:00 pm est charts but have also checked Election Day at 8:00 am and the moment that Election Day Moon reaches 00Cap00:00 at 10:17:17 am est) produces midpoint pictures that reveal, not so much a victor, but shows the conditions and the atmosphere that result if VP Harris wins the office, vs a Herr Trump "win".

So below for your consideration are the composite midpoint pictures with astro-notes penned on; hopefully, my scribbles are readable. Rather than a predictive method, the pictures reveal trends and conditions for VP Harris and for Tr*mp - if or when each 2024 candidate wins the White House, and, despite an extended period of dispute with one candidate already calling the 2024 Election "rigged" against him, my sincere hope for America is that the positive expressions, highlighted in blue, will prevail for the sake of the common good - and for freedom from oppression:

Also a must for best results: a blue tsunami of voters for both House and Senate!

Recommended: read the plutonic, draconian, power-crazed Project 2025 agenda intended to destroy our social safety net programs (as economic royalists have determined to do since FDR created them), purge, imprison, and/or execute Americans including civil servants, exile or imprison blue voters, dissolve the US Constitution and our rights with it, bring hardship and loss to the populace, crash the US economy and shove crypto-currency upon the banking system while draining the National Treasury dry via El*n Mu*k, and commit more criminal mayhem however they wish. Oh! And they wish to return the entire world to a Dark Age feudal system of enslavement, misery, and monarchy.

And should their nazi-style agenda be implemented, Put*n and other enemies of America would be so pleased with their anti-democracy handiwork.

George Washington's Cosmic Ascension - and Donald's?

by Jude Cowell, partisan for the common good

The famous fresco painted by Constantino Brumidi, The Apotheosis of George Washington, was completed in the eye of the dome of the Capitol Building rotunda on Jupiterian Capitol Hill in 1865. Now, with the ongoing attempt to morph Trump into "The Chosen One" by his nibs himself and by reckless religious types whose goals are power, control, and extreme wealth, it's not much of a stretch to imagine the 1865 rotunda dome fresco suddenly updated to "uplift" Herr T as the rightful star of the mythological panoply - if he and his comrades manage to finagle the White House in November.

A (Death) Cult of Personality to Idolize

Vengeful Donald and his brutal purging agenda they call Project 2025 (a blueprint for fascism) cannot win the popular vote but the confusion now being sown in the states is how they intend to "justify" the 2024 election results being tossed to the House of Representatives for a decision. If so, each state would have one vote and thanks to gerrymandering and other tactics, there are more red states than blue in 2024. Of course, the win-at-any-cost Maga plan echoes the chicanery that put Rutherford B. Hayes in the White House.

Bi-Wheel of Natal Charts: Washington (center) and Trump (outer)

As you see, there are planetary contacts containing potentials between their charts including: Jupiter-Pluto (a thrust for power; building the big picture; establishing new perspectives; keeping in control), Jupiter-Neptune (the grand spirit; idealism; feeling special; religiousness; tricky legalisms; scandal), Mars-IC (change of status; recognition for one's basic qualities), and their Nodal Axes in opposition, denoting the separation of years between them (1732--1946), and their opposing goals and/or directions - across the Gemini-Sagittarius polarity (Mercury-Jupiter: thoughts about the spirit).

(See Noel Tyl's book, Solar Arcs for more details on planetary pairs #ad.)

Now if their Nodal opposition means that Washington's direction was upward, while Trump's is downward, this makes sense to me if not to you! After all, Donald is a scoundrel, liar, and a predator, while George Washington valued integrity and was born with the Sun in the sign of the Two Fishes (depicted in pencil above), one swimming upward toward the heights, the other swimming downward into the depths of degradation. To me this signifies that if an apotheosis should ever be attempted for America's Albatross, it will be fraudulent.

An Honorable President vs The Other Kind

And so at least one cosmic time link exists between what the Aryan Magas are trying to do with Election 2024 - and it's what they had planned for Election 2020 (Peter Navarro called it The Green Bay Sweep) but oops! Trump's mob outside the Capitol Building breached the Masonic edifice on January 6, 2021 and Donald's Maga coup attempt went haywire. For hours later, the Electoral College Votes were certified for President Joe Biden after all, and Donald has been pouting, whining, and lying ever since.

For he must condition his gullible voters for more whoppers to come and the unquestioning acceptance of the underhanded tactics that are necessary to steal Election 2024 for god-in-his-own-mind, the kingly dictator wanna-be, Donald Trump - as he continues promoting the primal violence and retribution of Pluto of the Underworld across the land.

And across George Washington's natal Midheaven where this particular Daughter of the Revolution asserts it does not belong.

Laura Loomer: Eclipse Baby

by Jude Cowell, partisan for the common good

Perhaps you've seen this: Laura Loomer Promotes 9/11 Conspiracy After Joining Trump at Event Commemorating Attacks (HuffPost).

Meanwhile, on the Wikipedia page of "Republican" conspiracy theorist and Trump advisor Laura Loomer we find her birthdate listed as May 21, 1993 in Tucson, Arizona.

It has been reported that Ms. Loomer flew with Trump to the September 10th Harris-Trump Debate in Philadelphia during which Trump aired the dog-and-cat-eaters-of-Springfield, Ohio, a racist-based conspiracy theory that I'm told got its start via Trump's VP sidekick, JD Vance whose natal Sun @10Leo conjuncts Trump's 12th house Pluto = Mars-Saturn midpoint of fury, destruction, death, and intervention by a higher power. Mr. Vance's Sun at apex of Mars-Saturn suggests a weakened condition, and as we know, Trump has said he doesn't "talk" to Vance. Hmmm!

Born Near an Eclipse: An Eventful Life

Meanwhile, Laura Loomer is an eclipse baby because on May 21, 1993, a Solar Eclipse in the 13 South Saros Series occurred so I'm displaying here her speculative natal horoscope (birth time unknown) in the form of the 1993 13 South Eclipse set for her birth location of Tucson, AZ with 13S themes listed, below; also listed on the chart, upper right corner, is Loomer's Mars-Saturn midpoint opposed by her Pluto in Scorpio (fanaticism), a cosmic echo of these energies that lurk in Trump's 12th house, as noted:

13 South Eclipse Themes (paraphrasing Brady's Predictive Astrology #ad):

Sinister energy underneath an urge for expansion which contains frustration, inhibition, and loss or separation; (note: this resonates with the 8 South Eclipse of October 2, 2024 which "brings us" Election 2024 and Inauguration 2025 with its themes of loss, partings, and separation); striving for group endeavors, positively or negatively; mass evacuations (and/or deportations?); constitutional crisis.

Zodiacally, the initial 13 South provides a lens through which to view all subsequent 13 South eclipses and it manifested on May 24, 0803 @5Gem56. So with Loomer's Prenatal Eclipse ('PE') in very early Gemini, a Mercurial lens is doubly suggested along with the versatility, superficiality, and duplicity that chatty Gemini is often known for. Plus, quirky or erratic thinking and communications are involved which I have to assume leads Ms. Loomer to promote conspiracy theories that beggar belief.

As for events of 1993, her birth year, one of the stand-outs has to be the tragic Siege of Waco which occurred in early 1993 but under the auspices of the 13 North Eclipse of December 24, 1992 @2Capricorn (large, ambitious group projects).

In closing, let's add that 13 South eclipses have occurred in 1939 (Germany signs a treaty with Mussolini and invades Poland), 2011 (among other events, the brutal shooting of Rep. Gabby Giffords - in Tucson, AZ). The next 13 South will occur in 2029.

Election 2016 and Election 2024 Midpoint Picture Potentials

by Jude Cowell, partisan for the common good

Well, today I've printed out a curious little graphic showing the Election 2016 and Election 2024 midpoint pictures with potentials as they stood and will stand at 8:00 pm est Washington DC on November 8, 2016 and November 5, 2024. This post is inspired by the fact that a few political wags have suggested that Election 2024 resembles Election 2016 in certain respects based on their political views and information.

However, yours truly must be primarily dependent upon planetary horoscopes and historical trends which resonate with Eclipse Cycles, other cosmic informants such as the Venus Cycle, plus, a smattering of listening to and reading the news, unsettling as it often is.

Other sources include certain podcasts and one of my favorites is by a plain-speaking New Yorker, David Feldman, whose current episode is a don't-miss in my political playbook: Trump Now Makes the Race about Race (You may need to 'rewind'.) Well, of course he does! And this the day prior to the September 10th Harris-Trump Debate (horoscope shown). You know, for a primitive Uranian, Mr. T really is quite predictable.

You may also wish to see Can Election 2024 Venus Symbolize Kamala Harris?

Admittedly, there is one cosmic factoid in particular that I do not care for at all: that the Predictive New Moon Prior to Election 2024 @9Scorpio is basically a Moon Return to Inauguration 2017's Moon position. Of course, at best this may only symbolize Trump voters from 2016 coming back into the cultish fold - likely because they're afaid not to.

So here's a visual aid with a few notes penned on. Other details are typed, below:

Election 2016 Midpoint Pix 8:00 pm est:

Sun-NN = Jupiter: seeking public recognition; success with the public.

Sun-Pluto = Saturn: ruthlessly overcoming obstacles.

Jupiter-Neptune = Venus: love dreams.

Mercury-Mars = Venus: quarrels over women.

Sun-MC = Pluto: desire to attain leadership by the use of force; a violent attainment of aims; extraordinary plans; a tragic destiny.

Saturn-MC = Mars: giving in; feeling defenseless; lack of initiative; accepting one's destiny; enforced separation; mourning and bereavement.

Moon-Venus = Mars: actions guided by feelings; living by instinct; a devoted wife.

Moon-MC = Neptune: false emotional pictures; worry; losing hope easily; troubles through females.

Election 2024 Midpoint Pix 8:00 pm est:

Sun-Venus = Mercury: expressions of love.

Moon-Jupiter = Neptune: bad social conditions; loss or disadvantage through speculation or wastefuness.

Uranus-Pluto = Neptune: sympathy; knowledge of human nature; insecurity; uncertainty; unfulfilled wishes; neuroses; fatigue; delving into supernatural realms.

Note: midpoint picture potentials are paraphrased via Reinhold Ebertin's The Combination of Stellar Influences #ad.

2 Horoscopes: Trump w RFK Jr

by Jude Cowell, partisan for democracy

Now that spoiler candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr (aka, "Bob" or "Bobbie") has joined Trump's 2024 Campaign, we should probably take a look at a bi-wheel of their natal charts to check for planetary contacts between them.

The obvious one is JFK Jr's Jupiter Rx @17Gem20 conjunct Trump's 10th house Uranus 17Gem53, his guiding planet of chaos, disruption, and radical action due to its oriental position (last to rise before his Gemini Sun).

Other planetary links between them are shown in the Cancer/Capricorn and Leo areas of the Zodiac including RFK Jr's Pluto Rx @24Leo24 conjunct DJT's rising Mars (see planetary pairs, below). Perhaps the bi-wheel of their natal charts may be worth keeping around as we careen toward the November 5th Election, or maybe not. Their union may, in part, depend on how jealous running mate JD Vance becomes. But don't even think about a menage a trois!

Potentials of their Planetary Pairs (R. Ebertin):

Jupiter-Uranus: fortune hunters; adventurers; organizers; zealots with one-sided views; religious or philosophial conflicts; a lucky chance.

Mars-Pluto: success attained through excessive effort; use of force; disabled people; strong ambition; great self-confidence.

Meanwhile, there are astrological reasons to suspect that their bro-mance may not endure for long - besides two large egos in conflict: big dog vs little dog - so you may wish to marvel at all the squares (obstacles) and oppositions (challenges) between Donnie and Bobbie:

Please Note: the 5:32 pm ET timing of RFK Jr's natal chart (linked, above) is from someone who knew the family and was told to me by an expert astrologer known as blackswann1111. Otherwise, use whatever timing you wish. jc

Trump and The Harris Campaign 2024

by Jude Cowell, partisan for democracy

Below is a synastry grid showing aspects between the natal planets of one Donald Trump and placements of the 2024 Harris Campaign announced via tweet ('X') on July 21, 2024 at 4:31 pm edt.

Then below the grid is the Harris Campaign 2024 Horoscope with 4Sag27 rising. The chart is set for 4:30 pm edt because it's the timing used by my astrologer pal Ed Kohout who writes the brilliant Occursion Media blog on WordPress:

Beginning at top with the Moon, aspects between Trump natal and Harris Campaign 2024 include but may not be limited to:

Moon semi-square Moon: overreactions; disturbed by females; unstable emotions; negative emotions can affect health.

Moon trine Neptune: pleasing fantasies; delusions (Biden will allegedly "take back" his campaign during the DNC?).

Moon sesquisquare North Node: disturbed flow; emotional adjustments needed; public contact off-kilter.

Mercury conjunct Mars: quick responses, often sarcastic; politics.

Mars sesquisquare Chiron: aggression issues and competition gain complexity.

Mars square ASC: ego conflict; shoving and pushing; tension and competition.

Mars square Uranus: the own worst enemy transit; conflicts; disputes; thwarted goals; lashing out.

Uranus sextile Venus: exploitation of others.

Neptune inconjunct ASC: fantasies; escapism; adjustments; indulgences; a softer image is needed; vacillation.

Pluto inconjunct ASC: obsessions; dogmatism; holding grudges.

Chiron sextile Sun: high ambitions.

Chiron square Saturn: socio-cultural conflicts with authority and the status quo.

North Node square Mercury: meetings; emotional ills; fewer public contacts.

North Node trine Pluto: contact with people in a state of change; compulsive transformation; powerful experiences.

North Node semisquare MC: difficulties with publicity and reputation; uncomfortable community involvement.

America's Albatross meets with Maga Congress! June 13, 2024

by Jude Cowell, partisan for the common good

On Thursday June 13, 2024, Donald Trump returned to what folks describe as "the scene of the crime" (his J6 coup attempt) when he met with Republican congress members in order to gage certain things about himself. Yesterday was actually his Zodiacal birthday (78-yo) as you see listed, lower left corner.

Meanwhile, agent orange is now in a stage of figuring out how to make his brutal ideas and plans against America more popular with his intended victims, millions of whom will be voting in the November Election. Sans all the GOP's cheating tactics, the orange marauder, planning a massive purge of US society, might lose the presidency which will make his wealthy backers and foreign handlers extremely angry with him. Then who knows what they'll perpetrate upon him, all that money spent for nothing, and egg on their dumb faces.

Besides, such a planned purge of US society would have to be massive due to the huge number of Americans who despise him and his "policies" - those who "stand in his way" of completing idol Herr Adolf's vision of world domination. And he's being aided by "church people" (aka, ethno-Christian fascists), no less! You'll note Cupido (The Family-The Syndicate-Corporatism) conjunct aggressive Mars @3Tau16 in 9th house: thugs in the House of Congress!

Well, America's albatross, premiere con man, and convicted felon is nothing if not a malicious schemer with his natal Mercury-Neptune square, this we know.

So above is a bi-wheel of yesterday morning's transits on Capitol Hill, a symbolically timed horoscope set for the moment that Trump's natal Mars @26Leo46 rises, and transit Uranus sits upon his natal Midheaven ('MC"), the Aspiration Point of any horoscope - surrounded by the generally accepted Trump natal chart.

Of course, this shows the transit of Uranus-square-natal-Mars for him, an unpredictable period when relationships are troublesome (see his need for feedback and for ideas on how to make his ideas more popular, lower right corner!), work habits are erratic, a change of life direction arrives, and a time when his progress can be impeded by a crowd (of Biden voters?). As you know, the Mars-Uranus duo is known for such activities as radical military involvement (militias on stand-by), viol*nce, and attack.

Other than this, conditions have become riskier and I'd rather refer you to the astro-notes penned on the image rather than typing more such potentials in this text. You understand, I'm sure.

Trump Trial May 30-31, 2024

by Jude Cowell, partisan for the common good

Today's court session in Manhattan is symbolized by the 9:30 am edt horoscope (lower left) while tomorrow's session (assuming there is one) is shown (upper right) in this dual image:

A few of my study notes are sprinkled about and, as you see, the currently operative Great American Eclipse in the 8 North Saros Series (@19Ari24; April 8, 2024) will top the chart on Friday May 31st with its "dreams and visions" themes in The Goal Point position.

Meanwhile, wounded healer Chiron's presence - also a symbol of a blindspot - continues, and I believe is one of the 'stars' of this legal situation as a lifelong criminal is finally held to account and representing America's wound (racism and all!) - yet for some citizens, Chiron in Aries is their blindspot. Plus, transit Chiron is within process of America's Chiron Return (20Ari08) this very year. Importantly, Chiron also symbolizes the Christ archetype in Astrology which brings in the religious contentiousness now occurring in the US.

Saturn-Neptune: the illness axis of depressed, needy people

Significantly, both days contain Saturn-Neptune with Moon connotations although in a different order from today until Friday and the midpoint pictures' potentials are penned next to each horoscope. A notable cosmic echo is the fact that Baby Donald was born with ASC = Saturn-Neptune (oppressive environment) and now at trial there are strong suggestions of pathological depression, pessimism, and despair involved.

Understandably.

So Will "The Bulldozer" Return?

by Jude Cowell

Bi-Wheel: The Espionage Act (inner) with Trump natal (outer):

When we glance askance at 2017 and 2018 events in the US with Mr. Trump more or less "manning" the helm of our country, we soon stumble across Paul Manafort who offered his skills for free as "campaign chair" for Trump's 2016 campaign, serving from June 20 to August 19, 2016.

See Trump Campaign's Russian Encounters at RNC 2016 under a Full Moon shining upon spymaster Pluto.

For as you know, then as now, espionage via "collusion" with Russia was part of the atmosphere, many books and articles were published, and soon legal storm clouds formed for Manafort - and in July 2017, the FBI raided his home. Then in October 2017, Manafort, an unregistered foreign agent, and his business associate Rick Gates, were indicted and arrested on multiple charges which included money laundering and election interference (two of Trump's "talents").

Actually, Luke Harding's best-selling 2017 book, Collusion is a great resource concerning these and other events if you're curious. #ad

Ultimately, with legal attempts to hold the lawbreaker accountable only partially successful, Trump pardoned his scofflaw pal (birds of a feather) and Manafort managed to escape the "long arm of the law."

Campaign 2024 and Beyond

Now there's a page you may wish to review because rumor is, Paul Manafort will return to "service" if agent orange manages to coup the White House in November: check out The Trials of Paul Manafort for a fuller picture of his legal travails, and consider his Sun Aries-Moon Taurus "bulldozer" personality.

In closing, you may also wish to see Paul Manafort hearts Cypress for shady banking which includes the founding data for Cypress, something of an island hive of activity for anti-societal birds of a feather when padding their nests as surreptitiously as possible.

On the Eclipse of NBC TV

Herr T's Bullhorn for Subversion

by Jude Cowell, partisan for democracy

In recent posts yours truly has been known to fuss over how The Apprentice TV show (2004) gave NY playboy Donald a major opportunity to promote the rumor that he was a "successful businessman." If you still believe this absurd fallacy, then reading Stars Over Washington may not be for you! This is your cue to skedaddle away for best results.

Because for one thing, the good people of New York City knew then and know now that Donald was a mobbed-up "contractor" and a deadbeat in the success and finance departments. Unless we count his experience with money laundering for various entities.

Yes, it was NBC's "reality" TV show that ultimately led to Donald's 2016 campaign for the presidency and, aided by Russia, wealthy corporatists, and a hype-believing public, Donald managed to coup the White House as if he'd won the 2016 Election. And you know the rest.

NBC: A Subsidiary of Comcast

My point is that these twisted political conditions have angered me into a snit of miffdom ever since the orange blighter rode the escalator on the morning of June 16, 2015 at the Gemini New Moon and had someone pay a casting-call audience below to listen to his bigoted swill. Therefore, I must consider The Apprentice's creator Mark Burnett (follow the link, above) partially responsible for the anti-democracy campaign against America and the American people, while a large amount of blame for our predicament must also fall upon NBC, nowadays a subsidiary of Comcast.

Therefore, above is a Horoscope of the 13 South Solar Eclipse which influenced the April 19, 1939 founding of NBC TV. (NBC Radio was founded earlier on June 19, 1926 under the influence of an 18 South Eclipse of endings, partings, grief), but it's the TV division of NBC now starring in this fussy post. Of course, you notice that 1939 is the year that World War Two began when Naz* Herr Adolf invaded Poland.

Now as you can see, 13 South themes are listed on the chart, compliments of Bernadette Brady, and include some sinister energy underneath. Plus, there's a revealing square from Pluto (opposing US 1776 Pluto in Capricorn which also squares the eclipse); potentials are listed on the chart. Activist Mars @15Capricorn leads a Locomotive shape of the planets (the ruthless executive), and don't miss Saturn in Aries at Midheaven, too (see upper right corner). The two planets (actors) were possibly a team since they're in friendly Mutual Reception with one another, and Mars is exalted in Capricorn.

Then there's mass media planet Neptune Rx @21Vir01 conjunct Denebola (going against society) so basically Neptune is in process of performing a US Neptune Return (@22Vir25 in 1776) which suggests a confusing period when ideals can shift or be shifted by propaganda and/or advertising, and the mass employment situation wasn't going well as WWII was brewing abroad and the Great Depression was ruining lives.

Now in addition, the 13 South Eclipse of 1939 @28Ari43 conjoined fixed star Mirach ("girdle" of the Princess in the Andromeda Constellation with its restrictive Saturnian nature and Venusuian flavor: the ladies). Then to me, the Uranus-Midas conjunction (see below) suggests the network's (and other media outlets) tendency to create massive fortunes thanks to the radical activities of Uranus the zealous chaos-creator (ex: the J6 coup attempt, ongoing; and the old "if it bleeds, it leads" mantra of news outlets) while simultaneously taking advantage of the quirky planet's novel, innovative creative content that entertains, surprises, and delights the public - or, stirs up the masses, positively or negatively.

Plus, you also notice the Earth Grand Trine in the 13 South horoscope, a protective, creative closed circuit of energies beween Mars-Uranus-Neptune with radical planet Uranus @16Taurus conjunct gold-loving Midas, as noted, and pointing ahead toward the position of radical reactionary Uranus @16Taurus conjunct the 2022 Midterms Lunar Eclipse when rabid Maga-ites managed to infest the US House of Representatives, spouting their Russian talking points and sporting AR-15 lapel pins. Certain corporations have financially supported this - see corporate Cupido in 4th house,.

Then perhaps you remember that a German Media Baron supported the rise of Hitl*r who thought he should rule the world. Oh the compensating absurdity of some men's massive egos.

In closing, you've probably seen ProPublica's updated list of corporations that vowed to suspend their financial support of J6 politicians just after the 2021 attack yet a number of them have continued supporting election denial after all. You'll easily spy Comcast at number 5.

Well, that's enough fussing for today, so if you've managed to read this far, my thanks and kudos to you! jc

When Donald Reached For "Pie in the Sky"

Shown below, for your consideration is the Solar Eclipse Horoscope of NBC's The Apprentice which perfected November 23, 2003 @1Sag13:57 NYC in the 5 New South Saros Series set for NYC. At Midheaven: Mars-Neptune = Uranus: "Reaching for 'pie in the sky'; energetically following one's dream" (N. Tyl). As you know, the "reality" TV show was Donald's publicity-infused launching pad for his eventual run in 2016 for the White House.

Then curiously, what turned out to be his "prez bid" New Moon of June 16, 2015 @25Gemini": "A Man Trimming Palms" rises at 8:00 pm est; plus, the novelty-loving planet of anarchy and technology, Uranus @00Pisces, conjuncts Midheaven ('MC': The Goal Point) and is apex of the Mars-Neptune midpoint (see the Horoscope for midpoint potentials):

Now as you know, all eclipses are karmic in nature, may disrupt earthly events, and spark changes of direction similar to the action of unpredictable Uranus. Eclipse themes are always a consideration so 5 New South Eclipse themes are penned on the above chart.

Significantly, erratic Uranus squares the Eclipse which denotes an uncaring attitude toward humanity along with radical activities (R. Lineman). Both these potentials have been demonstrated in recent years by the fellow in question, as you may agree. And for obvious reasons, Donald's "successful businessman" image promoted on The Apprentice supported him on this quest to play the POTUS role although the image is somewhat threadbare now. An additional Uranian note is that Trump's natal 10th house Uranus @18Gemini is oriental so 'the sky god' is his guiding planet of chaos and disruption - the voices in his fantasy-prone head.

A Sagittarius Eclipse: Trump's Moon-South-Node Sign

When a solar eclipse manifests in Jupiter-ruled Sagittarius, the cosmic spotlight is cast upon frankness and enthusiasm, yet negatively there are issues of false optimism, misguided beliefs, and midirected idealism (such as are seen with the idolatry of cult leaders and the Big Lie of you-know-who). In 6th house the eclipse emphasis is on compatibility in the work space and work ethic. No certainty on such a possibility.

The Apprentice: Money, Power, Fame

Now I've never watched an episode of the show so to set up a Horoscope of the first airing of The Apprentice (or, 'Celebrity Apprentice'--is there a difference?), I've speculatively selected 8:00 pm est (January 8, 2004) because Trump's natal Mars and Ascendant rise and his 10th house of Career and Public Status is suitably atop the horoscope.

Yet if the show's go-time was later than 8:00 pm, we can surmise that a staffer was touching up his orange makeup, powdering his wig around that time, or maybe changing his diaper (staffer Noel Casler has called him DiaperDon). Adjust the hour as you wish, dear reader, for the initial show may have been taped anyway.

Then another factor is the show's creator, Mark Burnett (July 17, 1960 London, UK), who along with wife Roma Downey, is responsible for producing unusual religious content including the film Son of God, an exercise in "presenting another Jesus," or "reinventing" Him. That's a no-go around here! I found Burnett's association with the film by searching for his name and Opus Dei, if that tells us anything about the anti-democracy forces aligned against America. You'll remember that Trump's AG Bill Barr, legendary fixer of legal jams, is said to be a member of the secretive Catholic organization, as are other public figures - some are involved in skewing the US Supreme Court toward right-wing authoritarianism and successfully overturning Roe v Wade.

Between Two Horoscopes "The Cruelty Is the Point"

by Jude Cowell, partisan for the common good

A few days ago a controversial comparison of natal planets appeared here in the form of a question concerning two individuals who have been compared to one another in the press so I wondered what Astrology might have to say about them in bi-wheel form.

Today on SO'W comes another comparison between natal planets from 1946 to 1740, inspired by the obvious sadism now trying to make a comeback in American society and politics, and across the globe. And in the US it's lifted up by one political party in particular by strong-armed paternalism, misogyny, and holier-than-thou religious dominionism driving their anti-societal demands - in the minority though they are.

So undoubtedly, when it comes to the Republican Party (or what used to pass for it before "maga" took control), you've heard political pundits and others intone that the cruelty is the point. We can look directly at the GOP/Heritage Foundation plan to implement their Project 2025 agenda if a maga-lover should finagle the White House in November 2024 as a ready example of their cruel intentions which they've actually written down for all to read - as if their plan is inevitable! But it isn't.

Cruelty: The GOP War On Compassion

As you noticed years ago, the GOP's old "compassionate conservatism" was merely a political slogan used to gaslight voters into submission. Presently, the damage from SCOTUS' Dobbs decision that overturned Roe v Wade has led to cruel schemes, loss, and denial of medical care against American women and their pregnancies while threatening doctors and others with fines and prison terms for showing compassion and decency.

Meanwhile, the destructive energies and interference in people's medical decisions by paternalistic politicians grievously affect women and their family members but cold-hearted politicians and their backers don't care. And you know about the huge scandal of the moment which tells a sadistic tale: "bad*ss" Kristi Noem's easy execution of her dog, goat, and possibly other animals. Her chance at being selected for a VP run has apparently disintegrated - not because of the cruelty of her actions but because of the media storm it caused.

For after all, as we see via "30 Sagittarius," The Pope Blesses the Faithful, yes? So the order of the day is, control through cruelty, manipulate through fear: in a word, sadism:

Jupiter-Chiron Extremism Then and Now

So above you see a second planetary comparison between a certain two individuals, probably again on the controversial side. Therefore, one of the names has been disguised to protect the guilty, and study notes are penned on including Jupiter-Chiron conjunctions in both charts which indicate their shared extremism and zealotry, with taboo-breaking involved as well. Add to this various factors that suggest tendencies toward violence and anti-social behavior which appear around and between the natal horoscopes. Plus, 1740 Jupiter conjuncts 1946 Uranus, a contact which suggests a meeting of two minds!

Then as you see in the bi-wheel, the emphasis is on their shared Gemini and Cancer placements which include very close aspects both men have with Venus-Saturn conjunctions in Cancer, an aspect of discontent in relationships, although some measure of longevity in unions may also occur.

Now there are other planetary contacts from 1946 to 1740 too numerous to mention in this brief post so I'll leave them up to the curious reader. Suffice to say that cruelty is the point and man's inhumanity to man and woman has become 'the style' once again in this, The New Millenium.

Previously on SO'W a bi-wheel: Roe v Wade Decision 1973 and Roe v Wade Overturned 2022.

Is Mr. Trump like Mr. Stalin?

by Jude Cowell, partisan for the common good

Recently I've heard a pundit or two on TV state that, rather than Herr Adolf, old Donald Trump is more like the Soviet Union's Joseph Stalin. Of course, no dictator is a prize in the humanity sweepstakes, yet if Trump and comrades manage to steal the White House in November we'll all be messing around and finding out through nasty experiences.

A disturbing suspicion is that few Americans of our younger generations are familiar with the horror that was Stalin or are aware of the dystopian society he created, as if it were a good idea (like the psychopath he was).

So naturally I got to wondering what would transpire if I put together a bi-wheel of the Stalin and Trump natal charts to see which planets and points make contact between them - which ones blend, as it were. So see what you think - here is the result:

1946 reaches back to 1878

Obviously, there are significant contacts such as Stalin's natal Pluto Rx @24Tau58 conjunct Trump's Midheaven ('MC' = goals) where enraged star Algol of Medusa fame twinkles off and on. Notably, Algol is often prominent in the natal charts of criminals and murderers (D.K. Rosenberg). Plus, Stalin's Mars-Pluto opposition of brutality and violence sits neatly upon Trump's MC-IC angles - across the possessive Taurus-Scorpio axis. Their Mercuries are in opposite signs, too.

There's even a Trump Moon-SN conjunct Stalin Sun in Sagittarius, quite a match they are, it seems, and with their natal Suns (egos; goals) in opposite signs.

Then Trump's guiding planet, his inner voice of chaos and disruption, Uranus @17Gemini conjuncts Stalin's Syzygy Moon @17Gemini but to make matters more complex, zealous Stalin was a Uranus-Pluto square kind of despot (aka, an extremely violent, revolutionary anarchist) and his radical Uranus @4Virgo rises in Trump's natal chart as does Trump's aggressive Mars @26Leo and royal star, Regulus with its caution against taking revenge, or all that's gained will be taken away.

Then as you know, the Mars-Uranus duo is another cosmic signal for incendiary, erratic, and/or revolutionary activities.

The rest of their contacts I shall leave up to you, dear reader, for I've had all of these two maladjusted miscreants I can take for one post. Except that --

Trump you know ad nauseum, but if you wish, check out a Mini-Bio of Joseph Stalin, "--one of the greatest mass murderers of the 20th century." And yes, the video may be rough to watch, but it cannot possibly be as rough as living in a society where an authoritarian dictator like Stalin decides quirkily if you and your loved ones live, die, or are locked up. Therefore --

Vote Blue in November. Because all of our lives depend on it.

Remembering the Kent State Massacre

The 54th Anniversary of Nixon's Kent State Massacre

by Jude Cowell, partisan for the common good

In 2010, the Horoscope of the Kent State Massacre May 4, 1970 was published here on SO'W with quite a few astro-notes included. For details of the event and the astrology, I recommend to you a review of this vintage post concerning America's loss of all moral authority under Richard Nixon as he played the role of President of the United States to the extent that Washington had any left after the multiple assassinations of the 1960s, lying the American people into war, and other unsavory actions.

You see, the Kent State student protests were against Nixon's invasion of Cambodia during the Vietnam War, a ritual bloodbath, just like the rest. Subsequently, anti-war protests across the country became more vigorous and were very much a generational clash. And it was the Kent State Massacre that cast a stark spotlight on DC politics gone horribly wrong.

Strong-Armed Paternalism Is Dangerous

Adding complexity to this May 4's 54th anniversary of the tragic event, a deep wound in America's Collective psyche, is the current campaign to force criminal immunity into the tiny hands of one D. Trump, who longs to be in power again and will use whatever force against the American people that his tyrannical dreams of retribution via the ultimate power position require. In other words, mobbed-up Donald wants to be king of America, with no accountability for his crimes. This suggests that Big Orange must be planning some horrific fates for people on his enemies list (the kind of list that vengeful Nixon also maintained).

Yet despite it all, perhaps scofflaw Trump's efforts to change the form of government in our country from a democratic Republic to authoritarian fascism doesn't lead you, dear reader, to link his brutal tendencies with the Kent State Massacre and its perpetrator, Nixon - even though Trump is singing from the If the president does it, it isn't illegal hymnal. Or perhaps you're simply not interested as if such a change wouldn't affect you and your loved ones; or maybe you're a member of the let-someone-else-do-it club.

Well, current campus protests on behalf of the victimized people of Gaza are under scrutiny in many quarters yet with Joe Biden in the White House, assaults against student protesters would have to come from a different source than the Oval Office. And if young voters in November turn from President Biden, they'll be making a tragic mistake for themselves and for our country.

There are videos. One such is the History Channel's The Kent State Shootings, Explained.

8 North Eclipse 1970 Now Repeats in 2024

As for influential Solar Eclipses, the current 8 North, aka, the Great American Eclipse of April 8, 2024 @19Ari24 conjunct Chiron (19:24), is the very same Saros Series in which the Kent State Massacre occurred, but then 8N fell @17Pisces on March 7, 1970 with themes of, "dreams, visions, and new-found inspiration" (B. Brady) - to stay in power? For as you know, eclipse cycles and historical cycles tend to be in sync as seen by similar conditions and events. "History rhymes," as they say.

And so below you see an unmarked version of the May 4, 1970 Massacre Horoscope of the moment that students on the Kent State campus were shot by National Guardsmen who were mysteriously ordered to point and shoot in unison via Tricky Dick Nixon. Some say no order was given to fire, but this defies logic. The killings and woundings were perpetrated at 12:24 pm, and two of the fatalities were merely heading to class, and were not protesters at all. You'll note that in 1970, wounded Chiron was traveling through Mars-ruled Aries just as now. In 9th house, Chiron values democratic ideals (not tyranny); in Aries, Chiron values education and actively seeking truth.

Then as you see in the following horoscope, 10Leo27 rises at that fateful minute and only now can we realize that 10Leo02 is the degree of Trump's 12th house Pluto = Mars-Saturn midpoint picture with its deadly implications of destruction, physical harm, the deaths of many people, and the intervention of a higher power (R. Ebertin). Plus, Mars-Saturn (the death axis in any horoscope) conjunct Ascendant indicates potentials for health threats and/or bereavement. Tragically for students in Ohio and their loved ones on May 4, 1970, both potentials became reality.

Now here's the unmarked horoscope for you:

Naturally, other contacts exist between May 4, 1970 planets and Trump's natal planets - Donald was a mere 23 years old on that day - but listing them is beyond the scope of this post which is meant as a remembrance of the 1970 Massacre of students, May they R.I.P. - murdered by an out-of-control psychotic US president, hypersensitive to criticism. In closing, please note that this post is in no way intended to carry even one drop of water for hypersensitive agent orange with his sociopathic authoritarian tendencies.

SC Cons Ride the "Furious Storm"

Wash DC: "The Seat of Criminal Activity"?

by Jude Cowell, partisan for democracy

Yesterday's oral arguments at the Supreme Court for and against "absolute immunity" for presidents took strange turns thanks to the "conservative" justices, the "Cons" as I'll term them in this post. Justices Elena Kagan and Ketanji Brown Jackson stood out for their attempts to protect our nation's traditional understanding of what all presidents know as they enter the White House: that crimes can be prosecuted once they're out of office. After all, what was the Nixon pardon about?

Even Con Justice Barrett had a few words to offer; however, she might be symbolized in the 2024 chart, below, by the Scorpio Moon leading a BOWL shape, an advocate for a cause which could be little more than sustaining an attachment to comforts and special privileges. And on another level for the paternalistic theocracy now forcing second class citizenship and handmaidism upon the women of America and infesting state legislatures across the land. (See the description of SO'W written in 2005! It's under the title.)

So from yesterday's Mercurial arguments, it's apparent that the Cons believe, or are pretending to believe, that, "When a president does it, it isn't illegal," as crooked Nixon famously informed interviewer David Frost. I say pretend to believe because they seem to me to be acting under pressure of some kind, if only to protect their personal comforts and the "gifts" they enjoy for their anti-democratic services. Check the chart below for Neptune-Pluto = Mercury (upper center) and Neptune-Pluto conjunct 2024 MC (lower right corner) with the titanic pair symbolizing criminal elements and/or organized crime. Their figurehead of the moment: the long-mobbed-up Herr Trump.

And of course all this shows that Cons intend to dismiss the principles of the great Magna Carta from America! Brazenly arrogant, aren't they?

White Power-Aryanism-'MAGA'

So from whence comes the "furious storm" that Con justices and other Trumpists ride? That would be the 6 South Eclipse of July 1860 with its seditious energies of domination by strong-armed paternalism as their goal. Significantly, 6 South Eclipses repeated in October 2022 @2Scorpio (PE of Midterms 2022 when seditious 'Maga's grabbed control of the House of Reps--and look how they've worked to damage it) and in August 1932 @8Virgo as what I've termed the Nazis Rise to Power Eclipse for obvious reasons. So you see where the Cons are determined to go with this, as if you didn't already know!

Bi-Wheel: SCOTUS 1790 with Mercury Direct April 25, 2024 (Orals):

Now naturally, I had a glance back at the SCOTUS 1st Session 1790 Horoscope (inner), a topic which has been discussed here on previous occasions. Of note is that the current 8 North Solar Eclipse, the Great American Eclipse of April 8, 2024 @19Ari24 conjunct wounded Chiron, is the Prenatal Solar Eclipse Series in which the 1st session of the Supreme Court was held! Are the Court's dreams and visions today the same as those of 1790? What do you think? Well, today it appears that they dream of fascism in America.

So yesterday's oral arguing planets made a few contacts with the 1790 1st session planets as you see above, and I've used the very moment that Mercury turned Direct as a transit chart. In fact, a rather stark cosmic spotlight is cast upon 1790 Mercury @00Pis46 in 12th house. And there's an obvious emphasis on the Venus-Mars duo which spotlights yesterday's male vs female justices and their questions as the ladies brought reality to fantasy (Neptune-MC = Saturn). A few other notes are penned on the bi-wheel but you'll spy several other important factors, I'm certain, because frankly, this post would have to be an e-book to cover them all!

Why The Right is Wrong: Raid on Michael Cohen Isn't Corruption, It's Just -- clip

As you know, the Trump Election Interference Trial began with jury slection in Judge Marchan's Manhattan courtroom on Monday April 15th. In fact, his "hush money" payments to Stormy Daniels are no longer hush-hush and, as expected, Donald is going through some things.

Then back in 2018, the FBI raided Michael Cohen on April 9th, and a SO'W post appeared concerning Cohen, Trump, Pecker, and The National Enquirer.

Upcoming testimonies in Trump's "hush money" trial should be quite engaging, if not riveting. Don't you agree?

The Antichrist Has Been Identified

Tragically, A False Prophet Deceives the Very Elect

by Jude Cowell, a partisan for the common good

The following video presentation is intended for those with ears to hear, and perhaps not for the ultra-skeptical. But even they might profit by listening to the evidence - evidence that Trump provides himself through his words and actions which perfectly fulfill requirements for playing the role of the antichrist:

Check out 15 Bible Verses That Identify Donald J. Trump as the Antichrist:

And here's a link to the video in case it disappears from SO'W.

Plus, from the same source, there are 12 More Verses on Trump if you care to check out what is quite a large collection of evidence.

Astrologically, it's significant that 'sun god' Apollo is mentioned in the video presentation because Donald was born with asteroid Apollo rising @29Leo45 - and with royal Regulus, no less. And in an apparent flurry of self-worship, Donald's NY apartment sports a painting of Apollo added to the fact that his love of gold and money is well known, a love which everyone knows is the root of all evil. Also mentioned in the video is Trump's identification with King Cyrus the Great, a topic we've discussed here on SO'W in a previous post, if you'd care for a look.

(Full Disclosure: geni dot com informs me that Cyrus and I have in-law connections with 83 relatives between us; but don't judge--because you probably do, too).

So in closing, if I can mention two points they would be that false prophets have and will arise during the end times, and, significantly, scriptural prophecy suggests the appearance of not one but at least three antichrists for which some scholars nominate Napoleon Bonaparte and Herr Adolf as numbers one and two - death-bringers all, and Trump's models for his global take-over behavior.
