NYSE 1869; Trump Tariffs 2025

April 2025: Snorts of Concern from The Bull of Wall Street

by Jude Cowell, partisan for the common good

There was no dire crisis on Inauguration Day 2025 - other than the second presidency of an insurrectionist. That was and is the crisis we now face blended with an existential crisis for survival by a dark wizard from a far away land. The following post attempts to sort out some of the conditions that these two sinister saboteurs have forced upon our country for selfish purposes by utilizing the lens of Astrology as best I can.

On May 11, 1869, the very day of a New Moon @20Tau57 surrounded by Venus and Pluto, the Reorganization of the NYSE occurred giving astrologers another horoscope for the financial entity besides the Buttonwood Agreement Horoscope of May 17, 1792 in which we find a bubbly Jupiter-Neptune Conjunction of gambling and speculation. So we know that bubbles and bursts are baked in from the earliest days. Personally, I would say that it's a tactic used by Wall Street gentry, not that we need Astrology to tell us this.

Autocracy 2025/Venus-Pluto: Organized Crime; Break Down of the Social Fabric

As you know, the Orange Tariff Whisperer announced his risky regime of tariffs on April 2, 2025 from the White House Rose Garden, and as everyone knows, markets have reacted wildly ever since to his trade war. You've read, seen, or experienced the crisis-laden conditions so there's no need to repeat them in this brief post.

Instead, let's consider a bit of Astrology.

Curiously, the "fork in the road," an existential crisis sci-fi fantasy is promoted by the Space-mad fellow, based on cold war-era concepts, and has inspired a sculpture he commissioned in December 2024 for Tesla HQ. The phrase also describes a YOD pattern such as the one in the 1869 Reorganization Horoscope pointing toward karmic Saturn.

And if we allowed the Ascendant with Atlantis rising in the Tariffs Horoscope, there's a YOD pattern there as well - with the Neptune-Pluto sextile at its base and the planetary duo a symbol of Organized Crime, Drug Use and Trafficking, the Occult, Mysticism, Obsessions, Subterfuge, and/or Loss.

Now the fact that a YOD is in the 1869 chart emphasizes the fated nature of the pattern's imperative (YODs always involve timing issues - and preparing for a special task and a karmic opportunity) so manager planet Saturn has now stepped from the shadows, so to speak, to take control of our nation's economy, as we've seen. And he has a a mission to restrict and sabotage our lives because Elon's is a dark vision leading to a "Dead End". As we've discussed previously, Pluto @3AQ34 represents Elon and his DOGE "tech bros" leading a BOWL shape of planets in the Tariffs chart.

NYSE 1868 (lower left); Tariffs 2025 (upper right):

Please note that the astro-notes penned on the image are incomplete so as always, you'll spy other factors of interest.

However, it's revealing in the Tariffs chart that sinking Atlantis rises while sun god Apollo (often a symbol of Herr T - the asteroid rises in his chart with his Mars but here sits upon his natal Descendant along with the Saturn-Pluto midpoint @29Aquarius - he and Elon bringing hardship and cruelty) opposes. Then I'd have to say that Atlantis rising shows the motive of his trade war - to sabotage America and the global economy, and to purge the American people from our country a la the Project 2025 agenda of depopulation.

The Elon from South Africa

Let's read the 1869 YOD's trio of planets with apex Saturn (also the handle of a Bucket pattern: he's the director) as a midpoint picture between Uranus-Pluto = Saturn: "exposure to extreme pressure from others; self-will; egosim; hatred (R. Ebertin); persisting despite obstacles on the path toward reform (M. Munkasey); tendency toward autocratic leadership; "my way is the best way"; pressure from others; toppled from position" (N. Tyl.)

And of course, karmic Saturn in Jupiter-ruled Sagittarius adds a double dose of karma and suggests a religious flavor and/or immigrants to our country such as bankers from Germany who were involved with the stock exchange from the start - and those who were involved with forming the Federal Reserve System of banks - operatives and agents such as Paul Warburg. And now an immigrant from South Africa.

Meanwhile, In the News: Wall Street Expects The Fed to Rescue the Economy From Trump Tariffs. Well! Then has a little coordination between the players been going on?

Then in a flurry of cosmic synchronicity, the 1869 New Moon @20Taurus was activated on May 10, 2013 by a 15 South Solar Eclipse @20Taurus with themes of: release of tension; a lingering situation suddenly clears but with a collective sense of grief and/or loss (paraphrasing B. Brady). Therefore, events of 2013 may be of interest including a huge financial bailout by the European Union coming to the rescue of Cyprus, one of the world's more amenable tax sheltering locations.

Cory Booker's Senate speech and the Moral Moment

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

By now the entire world has heard of Senator Cory Booker's marathon speech against the Tr*mp "presidency" and the subversive actions led by the unelected rich guy, saboteur Elon M*sk, and his teenaged "tech bros" - symbolized by wealthy Pluto in the technological sign of Aquarius - destructuring and dismantling the administrative state as they are.

Cory Booker born with a reliable, earthy Sun Taurus-Moon Virgo blend

Senator Booker rose to speak on the Senate floor on Monday March 31, 2025 at 7:00 pm edt and completed his remarks on Tuesday April 1, 2025 at 8:04 pm edt. At 7:19 pm, he had passed Strom Thurmond's previous record but continued speaking.

Here is a bi-wheel image of his speech's beginning and ending with my astro-notes squooshed on; I'll simply add here that natally, baby Cory was born with a Saturn-Uranus inconjunct which in maturity then identifies the Senator as "The Voice of Reason":

Then when it comes to a "moral moment" we can look to The Great Benefic Jupiter for moral and ethical inspiration. However, this Jupiter @15Gem58 in the 9th house of Philosophy is unaspected which provides an opportunity to broadcast without distraction or interference. This he did.

Significant is Jupiter's Sabian Symbol for "16 Gemini": "A (Woman) Agitator Makes An Impassioned Plea to a Crowd": "Keyword = INDIGNATION."

Well, this helps sum up the proceedings, in my opinion, due to the lack of ethics and morals shown by the criminal operatives currently in control. And no, the feminine gender mentioned doesn't matter to the basic meaning of the word picture describing Jupiter's position. We might even say that Democratic ideals are protective as a mother's protection and care would be - and they were expressed by Senator Booker in his plea that the needs and lives of the American people, and for American democracy itself, continue without the dire threats and losses that Tr*mp and M*sk now forcefully impose - the "hardship" that wealthy El*n is determined to cause as they collapse US society and destroy the US government.

These saboteurs are commanded to do so by higher powers, in fact.

Yet as he spoke, Senator Booker implored all of us to join the fight against the Tr*mp-M*sk corruption, and he pointed out that the moral moment has arrived. And helpfully for our cause, Jupiter rises with royal star Aldebaran with its beneficial imperative: "success through integrity" which is exactly what reasonable people need. But Democrats really must stop bringing slingshots to this fascist gun fight.

The Shocking of Elon Musk!

by Jude Cowell, partisan for the common good

DOGE whisperer Elon Musk has reportedly admitted that he's shocked at the hatred against him and his Tesla vehicles but are victims of his machinations shocked? Not so much. In fact, millions of veterans and other recipients of Social Security and/or life-saving Medicaid benefits are protesting in the streets - some with placards that say, Deport Musk.

So let's take a look at the South African meddler's natal chart and current planetary transits to his planets by using the 9 New North Solar Eclipse of March 29, 2025 @9Aries; astro-notes concerning the eclipse and its physically expressive themes are penned on the left side of the chart, plus, potentials of a prominent combination are listed in green near the top of the image - Jupiter-North-Node (Jupiter-NN/NN-Jupiter) because it's a reciprocal connection at this time.

Then as you see, brief notes are listed on the grid for each contact (eclipse to natal) with the exception of his natal Moon and Uranus (shocking!) which are typed for your consideration beneath the synastry grid:

9NN Eclipse 2025 inconjunct natal Moon suggests a karmic situation returning that was previously responded to unsuccessfully but which must be dealt with now; if instincts are ignored rather than followed, a lack of karmic progress leads to obstacles and difficulties particularly in relationships and with the public.

9NN Eclipse 2025 opposite natal Uranus reveals a rebellious tendency to use this high energy aspect of intensity for stirring up trouble, often where none exists, and thereby exhibiting reckless irresponsibility in the process. (R. Lineman).

Black Tuesday 1929's Jupiter Return Mar 28, 2025

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

On Saturday March 29, 2025, the future of the US economy and government, and the lives of the American people, are dependent upon events and outcomes manipulated by bad faith actors, both foreign and domestic.

With a continuing resolution barely passed in Congress this week in lieu of an actual 2025 budget, a government shut-down is apparently avoided if the Senate agrees, and if so then US financials can simmer along until September 30, 2025, the traditional end of the financial year, interference with markets by the White House's daft tariffs notwithstanding.

Soon we'll discuss more about September 2025 which contains two Eclipses - a Lunar Eclipse on September 7th @15Pisces, and a Solar Eclipse on September 21st @29Virgo in the accident-prone 9 New North Saros Series - which basically amounts to an Autumn Equinox 2025 Eclipse that will hold sway until Winter Solstice 2025.

March 2025 Cosmic Lunations

Meanwhile, the Virgo Lunar Eclipse perfects this Friday (March 14th) at 2:54:37 am EDT, a Total Eclipse and so-called "blood moon" due to its reddish color. Inconvenient facts, secrets, and scandals are nearly certain to be uncovered, and synchronistically, the Lunar Eclipse lands upon the Full Moon that timed the Lehman Brothers bankruptcy filing in September 2008 and could possibly "activate" certain energies of a karmic nature. At the least, it's a cosmic spotlight cast upon the Virgo-Pisces victim-savior polarity. But will historical events rhyme or echo from 2008 forward to 2025? Perhaps, yet there is another possibility that could echo from way back in 1929:

Black Tuesday 1929's Jupiter in Mercury-Ruled Gemini

A potential echo because the third of three Jupiter Returns to the infamous Black Tuesday Crash Horoscope of 1929 occurs with corporate-banking-moneybags planet Jupiter @15Gem25 conjunct royal star Rigel in 1929. Of course, mundane Jupiter can also wear other hats besides financier, such as politician, broadcaster, preacher or guru. Or perhaps a Wall Street mogul, a Rockefeller, and/or a Treasury Secretary could be appropriate in the role:

Isn't It Always About The Gold? For Tr*mp It Is

Above you see a marked-up bi-wheel of Black Tuesday October 29, 1929 (inner timed by the Sun culminating @6Scorpio = "A Gold Rush") surrounded by the 1929 Crash's third of three Jupiter Return Horoscopes perfecting on March 28, 2025 at 5:05:45 am EDT (return dates one and two are listed lower left corner). And of course, the Jupiter Return to its 1929 position has occurred about 7 times through the decades but this time it occurs the day prior to the 9 New North Solar Eclipse.

With expansive Jupiter, an abundance of communications, trades, and deals are suggested along with the Geminian tendencies of multiplicity, superficiality, and duplicity.

Now as you see, both charts are set for New York, New York for obvious reasons, and manipulative wealth hoarder Pluto in early Aquarius (M*sk and his "tech bros" plus their bosses) leads a BOWL shape of planets signifying a mission or a cause - here, to sabotage and hollow out our country, heist all they can, and beggar our populace so that yet another obscenely massive tax cut for the wealthy can be finagled into corrupted pockets - and during the Tr*mpian chaos, a new form of government can be more easily installed against the will of The People.

In other words, America is to be removed from global leadership and control handed over to certain foreign nations whose names in this post shall remain unmentioned.

Now in closing, I agree with you that it's all very dreary so naturally a Thank You For Reading is in order! jc

March 4, 2025: A Non-SOTU Address to Congress

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

As you've heard, Tr*mp is scheduled to deliver an Address to a Joint Session of Congress this evening at 9:00 pm EST.

Touted as "technically, not a State of the Union Address" ("SOTU"), we have no doubt that his partner in crime, Elon Musk, will be in attendance along with other guests. How many, if any, congressional Democrats will show up for the blather is your guess or mine.

So without further fuss, here's the 9:00 pm EST Horoscope for March 4, 2025 on Capitol Hill, his Non-SOTU Address to Congress, the American people, and to pal Put*n (in no particular order):

Now as you see, Venus, one of the money planets relating to currency, is chart-ruler and speech-ruler but is retrograde ("Rx") in Aries, posited in the 6th house of Military and Civil Service, Employment, and Health - and makes no applying aspects. This denotes that his address will "go nowhere" or will make little difference in the scheme of things.

Of course, Venus in Mars-ruled Aries tends toward an urge to make changes yet a Rx condition hints at delays and/or the fact that his nibs has returned to replay the role of POTUS: after all, Venus' Sabian Symbol for "11 Aries" is "The President of the Country."

Interestingly, the hemispheric weight of the chart falls on others which to me signals that he has little if any agency within current situations, or at least within the topics he'll discuss tonight. Therefore, others likely wrote his script - not that he won't vere off it. And he probably realizes that polishing his image is a necessity with all the protests in the streets and the shouting at Republican "townhalls" of late. Run away run away!

Additionally, we should note that the Sun @14Pis44 conjoins the GOP's 1854 Neptune - and spotlights the fixed star of crisis, Achernar. Sun in 5th house, reveals that a gambling influence may be the case, and there's restrictive Saturn, planet of old age, near the Sun which hints at authority, control, and/or a preoccupation with law enforcement - his outstanding legal cases, perhaps? Well, his restrictive actions against the American people are obvious as he attempts to beggar us into earlier graves as "parasites" via the GOP's depopulation/purging agenda. Yes, seniors are within the raptor's gaze.

Also along those lines, there's Luna (the public) excitedly conjunct radical Uranus in the 8th house of Big Finance, Corporatism, Debt, Credit, Insurance, and Transformation. An unusual mood is indicated, and seditious maga types are suggested along with the rest of us who are riled up over the sabotage of our country and the ruination of our lives - thanks to a whacked out billionaire meddler, no less, who has no actual authority.

His Dreamy Non-SOTU Theme

Now the theme of tonight's address is said to be, "the renewal of the American Dream," a major example of gaslighting the public when we consider the abuse he and his "tech bros" now heap upon our heads. Apparently, the regime's idea of "the American Dream" is intended only for the people they decide are worthy of it. You know the ones. Plus, planet Venus also has to do with perspective and theirs is certainly non-traditional while Neptune-North-Node indicates anti-societal elements.

Reading the "YOD" patterns of crisis and special task as midpoint pictures with the Ascendant at apex, I'd say that inhibiting America's development and forcing our nation into a "standing alone in the world" position are their aims, and so far, these plans are proceeding apace. Significantly, the 7 South Eclipse of October 14, 2023 rises tonight at 9:00 pm with themes of tremendous anger and force (via 7S's initial eclipse's Mars-Pluto content), a potential crisis moving rapidly through our lives, or, obstacles that suddenly clear (B. Brady). I prefer the clearing and I suspect you do, too.

Moon-Uranus: Changing Finances But New Leaders Are Needed

According to Michael Munkasey, the Moon-Uranus pairing suggests "leaders who rule on a whim with little sense of how their enterprise is seen by the rest of the world" and "an emotionally immature person placed in an important and visible leadership role."

And that person will deliver remarks laced with his usual whoppers tonight at 9:00 pm.

The Gipper and The Nipper!

by Jude Cowell, partisan for democracy and the common good

Below you see a dual chart image of two natal horoscopes for The Gipper and for a guy I'll call, The Nipper. Both charts may be off a bit in the birth timing department though the charts are the generally accepted versions for both, last I heard.

Plus, "off a bit" poses no problem for this particular post because our subject is the Jupiter in Scorpio of both men of wealth, one born in 1911, the other fellow in 1971 - and both of them are what some would call, money grubbers due to their shared focus on the materialistic acquisition of extreme wealth and possessions. This is a function of moneybags planet Jupiter in the corporate Big Business sign of Scorpio - with expansive Jupiter also being a political planet, often with guru and/or broadcasting interests, along with a huge appetite for more:

The primary aspects to their natal Jupiters are penned on and highlighted in green along with a few general traits concerning the Jupiter in Scorpio placement. Additionally, you'll note mentions that both men have quirky Mercury-Uranus contacts: conjunct in 1911 and square in 1971. Both fellows have Jupiter-Saturn indicators (expansion vs restriction issues) via The Nipper's opposition in 1971 and The Gipper's Jupiter-South Node Conjunction in 1911.

In closing, we should also note that aspects, House position, and other factors affect or mitigate the meaning of any planetary placement; therefore, the aspect information you see here obviously is influential upon Jupiter which tends to expand the energies of any planet it touches, for better or for worse.

Here's further reading involving Jupiterian proportionality: In the Realms of Jupiter: Mike Johnson, a post containing links to other such assessment$ of certain politicians and their enablers. After all, "Game Birds Feathering Their Nests" describes the Washington game since America's 1776 Jupiter, does it not?

On a personal level: if you, dear reader, were born with Jupiter in Scorpio, please note that there are many factors affecting Jupiter in your chart, and that the indications within this Political Astrology offering are, as always, on a political and mundane level in order to check out the dealings and personalities of public figures. In other words, this assessment is not intended as a personal reading for anyone. Besides: their life circumstances, aims, and opportunities are quite different from ours, agreed? Jude

Mercury Rx and the Midlife Crisis of Kash Patel

by Jude Cowell, partisan for the common good

When it comes to political nominations and the announcement of them, of note is the current Mercury Retrograde period ("Rx," which began November 25, 2024 @22Sag40 conjunct the natal Moon-South-Node conjunction of Mr. T, his cosmic signature of bad timing, emotional alienation, and lack of popularity - as are his grifter nominations in the views of a majority of the country). This is also a Mercury-opposite-natal-Sun transit for Mr. T which denotes a time of differing opinions, disagreements, and a potential for ego bruising.

Then Mercury, planet of ideas, plans, communications, commerce, tricks, decisions, nominations, and announcements, in retrograde motion suggests withdrawals such as that of Matt Gaetz, and difficulties and/or delays getting nominees through the confirmation process, if not outright rejections (ex: Rick Scott). You'll find a Mercury Rx-Direct-Shadow Tri-Wheel of 2024 into 2025 shown, below.

The point is that a Mercury Rx period is an unfavorable time for decisions, nominations, or announcements which may need to be retracted at some point. Mr. T's nominations for power positions for his favorite grifters and the unsavory seem rather ham-handed to me but of course, thievery, revenge, cruelty, and the collapse of US society and government are their aims, at the command of fascistic enemies of America, both foreign and domestic.

See Kash Patel for FBI Director Faces Senate Blowback.

Unfortunately, the "blowback" may be mainly for public consumption as will other confirmation hearings if they occur.

Now the current Mercurial process turns Direct on December 15, 2024 @6Sag23 but The Messenger planet won't reach, then leave, his/her own shadow until January 2, 2025 (22Sag40) - just in time for the 119th Congress to swear in, such as it is.

If possible, check out the Sabian Symbols or symbols of your choice for the degrees' word pictures of this Sagittarian Mercury Rx period for more information. You can always Google them, if need be.

FBI Director Patel? Weaponization and Revenge Not Law and Order

Here is a 'noon' natal Horoscope for Kash Patel born February 25, 1980 in Garden City, New York; a few astro-notes follow:

As you see, natal Mercury is stationing and about to turn Rx while opposing natal Saturn. Both planets square his Neptune in Sagittarius creating a dynamic T-Square, yet it's Jupiter Rx in Virgo - closely conjunct Mars Rx - that forms a Mutual Reception relationship with Mercury meaning that the two planets are on friendly terms. Together the planetary pair tends toward expansive ideas and plans, and have likely inspired his extensive merchandising and promotional schemes. Plus, some form of misjudgment may possibly occur if perspectives are overly grand - especially considering his Mercury-Neptune square of misperception, deception, fantasy, and lack of discrimination.

This is a cosmic echo of the very same natal aspect regularly used by indiscreet fantasist extraordinaire Mr. T, he of the Big Lie. Therefore, we can expect Mr. Patel to be challenged in the secrets-keeping department - and with the sense of national insecurity this brings.

Then if a dear reader such as yourself happens to be familiar with the natal planets of Mr. T, or even if you're not, you'll notice that there are several contacts between the two men, both positive and negative, even without having an accurate birth time for Kash Patel, as shown in their Synastry Grid, below, and excluding chart Angles and the Moon:

A Grand "Deep State" Conspiracy Theorist

At first, having shared interests and aims, things are on the sympatico side for them, but strong personalities will soon show through tension, friction, differing values (1946 vs 1980), quarrels, plus, both men will be determined to dominate in their relationship and on certain issues. Yet naturally, the power dynamic of boss-underling makes clear who will "win" the battle for domination whether Mr. Patel makes it as Director of the FBI or not.

But if Patel grabs the Director's seat, Mr. T will certainly be pleased, for as Thom Hartmann and others have observed, Mr. Patel will "go after the media" - and after anyone who has criticized authoritarian grudge-holder Mr. T because bright spotlights cast upon criminal roaches can force them to scatter, as we know, so that their criminal sprees, schemes, and plundering might be delayed or interrupted.

As we see, Patel's natal North Node of destiny conjoins royal star Regulus, the kingmaker, while simultaneously landing upon the natal Ascendant of Mr. T. A fated relationship is indicated, and reveals that the Great American Eclipse of August 21, 2017 landed upon Kash Patel's North Node and must have added to his sense of destiny within their association. And it's significant for Mr. T back in 1980 when he was 34 years old with transit North Node conjunct his Ascendant and his Mars rising - back when he was "creating" his public image.

Kash Patel's 18 South Eclipse @26AQ40

His is a Total 18 South Eclipse February 16, 1980 @26AQ50 (conjunct transit Siva, the creator-destroyer). For those who use a late afternoon July 4, 1776 Moon of We the People in late Aquarius, our mundane Luna was 'eclipsed' by the 1980 Solar Eclipse suggesting psychic awareness but with a potential that skeptics will refuse to learn from past mistakes (R. Lineman). As you know, America now has a bunch of such folks, including in relation to the first election of Mr. Reagan - a president whom some folks continue to idolize despite his destructive economic policies of the greedy 1980s which favored and continue to favor the wealthy class wherever neo-liberalism's "trickle down" policies hold sway.

18 South Themes: endings, partings, separations which may include grief or anguish; yet eventual outcomes can be positive (paraphrasing B. Brady). The last 18 South manifested @19Pisces on March 9, 2016, an eventful year for Kash; the next 18S will occur March 20, 2034 @30Pisces which amounts to a Spring Equinox 2034 Solar Eclipse as was the Spring Equinox 2015 Eclipse that timed Mr. T's prez bid ride down the golden escalator. And both eclipses conjunct the fixed star of extreme misfortune, Scheat.

Meanwhile, the planetary aspects operative during Mr. Patel's Prenatal Eclipse of 1980 reveal traits within the environment into which Baby Kashyap was born:

Uranus square Eclipse: indifference to the needs of humanity, lack of care or concern for society; radical or rebellious activities; Pluto trine Eclipse: spiritually, Kash Patel knows better and was raised with Hindu values; Saturn inconjunct Eclipse: an immature, ne'er-do-well freeloader with hard-to-break habits (R. Lineman says this in her Prenatal Eclipse booklet - I'm only the typist!).

Yet we know that as FBI Director, Mr. Patel should be required to do better in the responsibility department via his own Saturn Rx in fact-based Virgo which opposes his Pisces Mercury ("the world is against me"; refuses to listen to differing opinions - A. Oken), Saturn sextile Uranus (business opportunities via older associates), and Saturn square Neptune (dissatisfaction or confusion over attainments and goals; consolidation of efforts may be difficult; anxious, neurotic; a hard worker yet inefficient; can be self-defeating and involved in scandals). Well, surely he's matured and learned a few lessons by now (she typed optimistically).

Meanwhile, the Uranian Mr. T's habitual unreliability and erratic, impulsive nature that loves to shock and create chaos may become negatives for Mr. Patel and, as previously shown through our past experience, for anyone else attempting to work in the White House under his heftiness as of January 20, 2025 when their draconian Project 2025 purge, aka, American Carnage, begins implementation against the American people.

Transit Uranus Opposing Natal Uranus: Midlife Crisis

Naturally, all transits and progressions to an individual's planets should be considered for a fuller picture, however, a major transit, a first-ever affair, is ongoing for Mr. Patel and was exact in early November 2024. It's transit Uranus @24Taurus (conjunct Mr. T's natal Midheaven of Aspirations, Public Status, and Career) opposing Patel's natal Uranus in Scorpio (conjunct Mr. T's natal IC of Endings).

Everyone has a midlife transit, timed by behavioral planet Uranus, and marking a period of uncharacteristic behavior which can surprise others (ex: the family SUV guy splurges on a red convertible), plus there tends to be generational clashes, and restlessness. Then a new, unusual, or unorthodox phase of life may begin. Notably, Patel's Uranus in Scorpio tends to behave fearlessly and ruthlessly, and can get self and others into dangerous situations (R. Ebertin). We also can note that his Uranus conjunction with Mr. T's natal IC is possibly one of their friction points considering mundane Uranus' tendency to disrupt and/or reform, sometimes irrationally.

Now on the personality level, Mr. Patel's double Water Sun Pisces-Moon Cancer blend reveals him to be ultra-sensitive, moody, and highly imaginative. In closing, here's an appropriate quote by a famous jurist who shares Mr. Patel's natal blend, Justice Earl Warren:

"Many people consider the things which government does for them to be social progress, but they consider the things government does for others as socialism."

Don't they though!

Elon Musk's Personality Blend

by Jude Cowell, partisan for the common good

My suspicion is that by now, any astrologer with an interest in US Politics has likely glanced at the B-rated natal horoscope of Elon Musk, and although I've tried to avoid it, now I have as well. After all, richest-man-in-the-world Mr. Musk could very well be the figure symbolized by wealthy Pluto in the Inauguration 2025 Horoscope's 10th house of Career and Leadership (in co-rulership?) with the Inaugural Sun (POTUS).

As we see by his natal horoscope shown below, Baby Musk was born June 28, 1971 at 7:30 am EET in Pretoria, South Africa with Sun @5Can53 (conjunct US 1776 Jupiter) and Moon @8Vir15. His Mercury @14Cancer rises at Ascendant with Sirius (The Scorcher) and Canopus, the star of old age. His is a Water-Earth blend detailed below the chart with Moon (Cancer)/Mercury (Virgo) influences.

Horoscope: Elon Reeve Musk with Astro-Notes that include his Prenatal Eclipse Series ("PE" = 9 New North) which repeats on March 29, 2025 @9Aries; themes are physical events, great physical effort, and potentials for accidents or violence (B. Brady):

Elon Reeve Musk Personality Blend:

Born with a sensitive, pragmatic Water-Earth Sun Cancer-Moon Virgo combination of conscious-unconscious energies, Mr. Musk is analytical, imaginative, shrewd in business, and fussy with a discriminating intellect. A perceptive introvert, he can be difficult to live with due to emotional moodiness, yet tends to be protective of family members. Efficiency and creativity combine in this blend but with suggestions of narrow-mindedness, self-righteousness, and a leaning toward nagging and worry. Additionally, a deep fear of ridicule is present and, as we know, this trait is shared by Mr. Trump. (Sun Sign-Moon Sign, Charles and Suzi Harvey #ad).

Interestingly, Musk's Sun Cancer-Moon Virgo blend itself is shared natally with feminist activist Emmeline Pankhurst (whose Ascendant conjuncts Elon Musk's natal Mars @20Aquarius!) so let's close this post with a quote from Mrs. Pankhurst, words which tragically apply once again as they did in the olden days of the 19th century:

"It was becoming clear to my mind that men regarded women as a servant class in the community, and that women were going to remain in the servant class until they raised themselves out of it."

And so ladies, we fight the battle again.

A Closely Related Post: Astrology of South Africa displaying South Africa's Constitution Horoscope (as timed by Dr. Liz Greene), plus, its 14 North Eclipse Horoscope, the Series into which the country's Constitution came to be. You'll notice that the natal Sun of Elon Musk rises in the Constitution's chart, and that its Pluto conjuncts Musk's natal Jupiter Rx in late Scorpio. You'll also notice that for the US, a 14 North Eclipse occurred on November 25, 2011 as the "Sequestration Eclipse" of austerity measures - as finagled by the so-called "Super Congress."

Astrology of South Africa

by Jude Cowell, partisan for America

Below is a dual image of two horoscopes: South Africa - Constitution (lower left; source Dr. Liz Greene), and the 14 North Solar Eclipse (upper right) in which South Africa became a constitutional entity. 14N themes are listed thereupon and include "a peculiar turn of events; confusion; despair" (B. Brady).

Then upper right corner you'll find a few notes such as the last 14N Eclipse which occurred on November 25, 2011 @2Sag36 and became known in the US as The Sequestration Eclipse when Congress formed a so-called "Super Congress" of chicanery meant to enforce austerity upon the American people in this, the richest country in the world. With their unorthodox way of "cutting the budget", it goes without saying that Republicans (now Libertarians) were behind the sinister push in 2011 just as they are in 2024 into 2025. Subversion then, subversion now.

Meanwhile, for anyone who has yet to notice, austerity and loss (for us, not for the elites) are exactly what the Trump-Musk-Vance trio want to shove upon us with their neo-nazi-style "Project 2025" purging agenda of brutality, suffering, and loss - if these racist Libertarian zealots can muscle their way into power in a few days via the November 5th Election, cheating and threatening as they go. Perhaps we can agree, dear reader, that their cruel fascist absurdities cannot be allowed in America.

Apartheid and Austerity

Please Note: due to my ongoing relocation to a different apartment, my online time since last week has been sparse so pardon me for plopping these two horoscopes here with little more than the astro-notes I've penned on them. Except to say that the charts may be useful to a student or an astrologer or two, and that apartheid South Africa is where Elon Musk ("Leon"!) grew up until the ripe old age of 17 years. Nowadays, as the richest man in the world, as I'm told, he's part of the maga agenda to crash America's economy and global financial systems with it - like "Bond villains"! - ostensibly to destroy the US dollar and thereby institute a crypto-currency system, no matter who gets hurt or who starves to death. For as everyone knows, during times of extreme chaos, massive reforms can be enforced that otherwise could never occur.

Because as I've fussed for years on SO'W, Tr*mp's cult of personality is a death cult echoing how the Nazis in Germany behaved back in the 1930s and 1940s - until the criminals were stopped in their tracks.

See Musk says Americans will have to face "hardship" if Trump wins. What self-destructive fools will vote for that? In cosmic terms, "hardship" is a facet of the harsh, compressive Saturn-Pluto pairing of evil which you'll remember met in Great Conjunction on January 12, 2020 @22Cap46 - conjunct the natal Vertex (22:51) of Herr Trump, a point of fated encounters.

Significantly for South Africa, Apartheid legislation was repealed on June 17, 1991 and bi-racial elections were held in April 1994.

Now in closing, you may wish to have a glance at the B-rated natal chart of Elon Reeve Musk, if you haven't already. You'll see his Sun @5Can53 rising with the Ascendant in South Africa's constitutional horoscope, shown above, and his natal Moon @8Virgo opposed by Saturn @9Pisces, the victim-savior axis in the same 1994 chart. Yet knowing little about the erratic fellow born during a Saturn-Neptune opposition (possible criminal tendencies? A. Oken), El*n was about 23 years old in 1994 yet I'm uncertain exactly how or if these contacts matter very much, but there it is. What I do know is that when Saturn opposes natal Moon it's a very depressive, oppressive, melancholy period of time in anyone's life.

Then in addition, if you've never watched the brief video concerning Herr Adolf's vision for world domination known as Germania, it's recommended viewing. Because, you see, total control is what these modern-day barbarians are trying again to accomplish - at the expense of everyone in the world.

What's Up, Modern Humanity?

by Jude Cowell, partisan for the common good

Information found via the Wikipedia page concerning America's Robber baron class of the Gilded Age resonates from the 19th century through to our era of American Plutocracy, corporate fascists, thieving demagogues, corrupt politicians, and others who exploit the masses in order to build and protect their fortunes. Win at any cost is their tiresome refrain, no matter the collateral damage along with the degradation of society.

Meanwhile, adding a bit of Eclipse Astrology to the cosmic picture of anti-societal manipulators obssessed with power and wealth may be of interest to a dear reader such as yourself.

Eclipses Place Historical Events in Context

Themes of 2 Old North, a difficult series of unfortunate news; issues of separation or endings of unions; things look glum but outcomes can be positive if fast action is taken (B. Brady). Is it curious that this happens to be the Prenatal Eclipse Series ('PE') of John Wilkes Booth and Donald Tr*mp, two Mars-Pluto kind of guys?

So below is a list of Solar and Lunar Eclipses for the years 1891 and 1892. The Total Eclipse of influence upon Modern Humanity (as timed by Neptune-Pluto Conjunctions of 1891/92) manifested in the 2 Old North Saros Series on April 26, 1892 @7Tau05:06: that's Venus-ruled Taurus, a money sign of possession, growth, and The Bull of Wall Street. We can add intolerance toward others to the Taurean mix, which is a nice way to avoid mentioning their racism and bigotry.

Eclipses of 1891 and 1892:

Messily penned on the above list are a few notes regarding the prominent, forceful, overriding planetary duo of Mars and Pluto which form a cosmic time link between years 072 and 1892!

Of course, these are not the only cosmic influences during either of those years yet the duo points toward the escalating level of violence of our time now affecting cultures around the world, and with the two planets specifically aligning in opposition in time for US Election 2024 in November with many of America's plutocrats, corporate types, and complicit politicians joined together in league to collapse our country, destroy democracy, and undermine the US dollar so that "crypto-currency" can take over (a la Musk and Thiel in particular, former PayPal partners).

One clue of this? That the initial 2 Old North Eclipse of June 24, 072 was conjoined in July 1776 by America's Jupiter @5Can56 with its revealing Sabian Symbol for "6 Cancer": "Game Birds Feathering Their Nests." And isn't that what corrupt politicians, their greedy enablers, and anti-democracy corporatists have been up to ever since - at our expense? Besides, Jupiter-Eclipse energies combined indicate issues of immorality and unethical behavior.

Neptune-Pluto of the Criminal Underworld

Now according to Astrology, the cosmic clock of Modern Humanity is timed by Neptune Conjunct Pluto 3 times: 1. August 2, 1891 @8Gem38; 2. November 5, 1891 @8Gem19; 3. April 30, 1892 @7Gem42. As you see, a midpoint picture forms with US 1776 Uranus (8Gem55), and humanity remains under its sway of potentials for:

Impersonal attitudes about destructive or antisocial activities; unusual means to escape from or change reality; going to extremes with drugs (M. Munkasey); possibly aberrant behavior; disruption to gain recognition; adventurous ego thrust; making waves to get to shore; courage (N. Tyl); hypersensitive nerves; peculiar discoveries; the mystical or supernatural (R. Ebertin).

(For more information on such topics, you may wish to consult Eric Meece's Horoscope For The New Millennium #ad.)

A Vast Rei*h-Wing Conspiracy of Global Proportions vs Democracy

Among other things, the combined energies of the Neptune-Pluto duo represent Underworld Crime and their Syndicates, often described as organized crime and/or mobsterism. My suspicion is that the 1891/92 conjunctions in early Gemini landing upon US 1776 Uranus and occurring during the Robber baron/Gilded Age time frame spotlights today's crop of Uranian Utopians: the zealots, rebels, secessionists, and anarchists of the Maga persuasion - unethical scofflaws who break laws and traditions with abandon and resent any attempts to hold them accountable. And this is the exact opposite of our framers' founding idea: that man is capable of governing himself - without the oppression of monarchy.

Yes, that's Utopianism for you - the idea that man is in no need of laws and can do as he "will." So perhaps we can agree that many so-called "Maga" folks are linked to criminality yet other associations cannot be ruled out whether involving various trafficking activities, financial and religious scams, protection rackets, bribes and favors, political chicanery and/or the occult.

So this is today's spot check on Modern Humanity. No, we don't actually need Astrology or Eclipses to tell us that things aren't all together peachy at the moment, certainly not for everyone. However, astrological principles can help put things in perspective - at least until we get our ducks in a row - and get them we shall!

It was lightly sketched back in 1984, but here's one now:
