Dec 2023 Transits to the Washington DC Horoscope

by Jude Cowell

With 2024 fast approaching, let's say Farewell to 2023 by considering the bi-wheel of horoscopes, below, to close out this year of Stars Over Washington posts. Through this year and previously, multiple 'forewarned is forearmed' efforts have been made here by yours truly due to current events and to objectionable rhetoric disenterred from old-timey Aryans of yore by orator Mango Mussolini, as some have understandable labeled him.

His parroting of certain phrases from the past are intended to activate within us fear, paranoia, and a feeling of inevitability to the development of dystopian conditions which are not at all inevitable in America's future. After all, a majority of the American people have seen and fought this kind of brutal onslaught before, or are descended from those who did - and we're good, thanks. If there was ever a been-there-done-that caution, 1930s and 1940s events in Europe is it.

Because even though the Fascism Rising and the Nazis Rise to Power Solar Eclipses have repeated in our day (2022 and 2023), and because historical cycles rhyme with eclipse cycles, We the People are Not going to accept Fascism or Nazism in America.

Shown above, are two horoscopes: the May 3, 1802 Horoscope of Washington DC (center), which may be viewed by its lonesome at astro.com (RR: X because no exact hour is known, therefore no houses--12:00 pm is used), and the Winter Solstice 2023 Horoscope (outer), operating as a transit chart for December 21, 2023. Planetary contacts are circled for you, plus, a few other factors are noted.

So, dear reader, unless an unusual event sparks a new post prior to 2024, I'm wishing All who celebrate, a Very Merry Holiday and a Happy New Year 2024! Jude

US Solar Return 2023 Horoscope with Mars Rising

We the People in 2023 Are Not Helpless!

by Jude Cowell

With violence signified by various expressions around the horoscope, below is the not-so-splendid Solar Return 2023 Horoscope for America which this year arrives on July 5, 2023. This particular version of a US Solar Return 2023 issues from America's July 4, 1776 Horoscope set for 5:09 pm LMT Philadelphia, PA - cuss'ed of me, I know, but I continue to appreciate the 1776 chart's MC-IC axis at Cardinal World Points of 00Aries-Libra - plus, problematic Neptune now approaches the significant Aries Point by transit, initially at the end of March 2025 into late January 2026 but Neptune's sign change to Aries will be felt earlier than 2025 by sensitive folk:

Obviously, with SR Sun in 11th house, Groups and Associations will be prominent focuses of leadership in 2023, and as you can see, there's a crisis-laden, crossroads-reaching YOD pattern in the chart with its base formed by the transiting Neptune-Pluto sextile (the Organized Crime/Global Underworld Criminal Networks of energies which include drugs and other forms of illegal trafficking, plus, the occult, mysticism, and in some cases, religion, possibly of a bizarre nature.

Considering the trio as a midpoint picture - and noting that the inconjuncts to Mars from Neptune and Pluto suggest health concerns, fanciful notions, and/or workaholism as well, we have SR Mars at apex which is made additionally significant by the fact that this position echoes Trump's natal Mars rising (26Leo46). Herr T's 2023 Mars Return perfects on July 4, 2023 at 11:59:45 pm est, and the Neptune-to-Mars inconjunct shows in his Mars Return 2023 as does an off-and-on square from radical Uranus in Taurus to his Mars, with the unstable, even perilous conditions such as this square implies.

Midpoint picture penned on the above chart: Neptune-Pluto = Mars: use of violence to achieve one's dreams; (M. Munkasey); used as a tool for other people's interests (R. Ebertin); rejection of actions due to misunderstandings (N. Tyl).

And so in America's Solar Return 2023 Horoscope, multiple nuggets of information are penned on and around the chart for the curious reader, yet unfortunately, I'm compelled to note that the Return's prior Solar Eclipse in the 7 North Saros Series (deep passion; "blood" lust) is a repetition of the 'Fascism Rising Eclipse' of February 1933 @5Pis28 conjoined in 2023 by this Saturn Rx @6Pis57 = 'those with responsibility to carry out the thematic imperatives of 7 North. As you see, the Eclipse conjuncts the 8th cusp when US Solar Return 2023 is set for Washington DC, and, as noted in previous posts, qualifies as Adolf's Birthday Eclipse of April 20, 2023.

Astraea (Justice) at Midheaven: a Worthy Objective

Check out the Midheaven ('MC'; the goal) in the horoscope, above, for it holds midpoints: Mars-Saturn (bereavement; death - R. Ebertin) and the T-Square of Saturn-ASC = MC: a slow start with many restrictions; personal guarantees are kept and fulfilled (Munkasey). Are these Squeaker of the House Kevin McCarthy's promises to the far-reich whose votes he needed? Well, Kevin is one of the more visible tools active in the GOP's totalitarian to-do list to collapse and conquer our country. Additionally, the Sun-Chiron midpoint nestles at MC, too, which suggests a quest that reaches for social transformation.

Fascism's Favorite Political Tool: Violence

So! For a bit of historical context, a previous event timed by the 7 North 'Fascism Rising' Eclipse of 1933 is the Nazi Book Burning of May 10, 1933 (horoscope shown) with transit Mars in Virgo opposing the 7 North Eclipse ('tug-of-war'; physical intensity); also opposing the 1933 Eclipse is transit Neptune Rx @7Virgo suggesting deceit, lack of objectivity, and self-delusion (R. Lineman). Will Republicans reach the burning books stage after banning them? See Rawstory's report, DeSantis-backed book-banning panel is becoming a slow-moving 'trainswreck'.

So here we are again, folks.

For as you know, America's current gaggle of fascist and nazi enthusiasts are repeating certain behaviors and activities of Adolf's era such as book banning if not burning which mimick rituals similar to Civil War reenactments intended to keep the 'spirit' alive by keeping the public stirred up on behalf of violence and insurrection (as if these are "normal" behaviors - but they're not, they're psychotic). Those of us who refuse to join the Republicans' smash-and-grab movement against the US government should be fearful, so the GOP thinks.

However, there is another alternative: challenge all their tactics with the help of congressional Democrats and the Biden White House because congressional Republicans are deadbeats who intend to stiff the American people but continue paying Chinese banks, and this extortionary blackmail must be figured out by June 5th, last I heard. In fact, we hit the debt ceiling this very day, as reported by CNN. Hopefully, Democrats in the Senate along with the White House can stop the GOP recklessness with the economy, domestic and foreign. And if we look back at the 2011 downgrade of America's credit rating caused by the Republican Party in order to force their agenda upon us, we find another YOD of crisis in the GOP's Secondary Progressed Chart of July 29, 2011 which points toward the party's SP Ascendant @28Gemini, the degree of Bankruptcy. At the base of the YOD are Mercury-Jupiter, a pair that can indicate fraud. Plus, everyone knows that a lot of theft is made possible during chaotic times such as those of 2011 and 2023.

Yet We're Not Helpless in This Fight!

Because meanwhile, it is abundantly clear that a large majority of the American people reject the establishment of fascist or nazi government in America because for one thing, America is Not Germany, Russia, or Hungary! So if there truly is safety in numbers, it helps to remember that A Fascist Plot in America Has Failed Before and will do so again despite the increase of violent tactics by the far-right and other mentally unstable, delusional,gaslit folk intended to cow the American people, make Herr T proud, and seed a sense of inevitability concerning the far-right's thuggish, underhanded, deceitful machinations for the sake of grabbing power, control - and the mega-bucks that come with them.

And so I beseech you, dear reader, whatever you and yours can do to promote democracy in America, the time is now!

The Dangerous Eclipses of 2023

September 8, 2022

by Jude Cowell

Below you see a mocked-up image of the Solar and Lunar Eclipses of year 1933 and year 2023. As you see, the dangerous, even sinister, Solar Eclipses of 1933 repeat in 2023 in the 7 North and 7 South Saros Series; their Themes are also listed along with other years in which 7 North and 7 South eclipses occurred. Historical events of those years make interesting reads.

So will this be my final forewarned-is-forearmed post of warning concerning the neo fascist/nazi global network of criminals planning once again a take-over of America after failing in their attempt against FDR in 1933?

Since I'm a pro-democracy American with Revolutionary War ancestry and uncles who fought nazis in Europe during WWII, it most definitely is not:

History Of GOP Slide To Fascism: From Eisenhower To DeSantis - Thom Hartmann

July 1, 2022

Here's an important segment from a recent Thom Hartmann broadcast:

You know, on Aril 20, 2023 the 7 North Fascism Rising Solar Eclipse cycle repeats, and since eclipse cycles and historical cycles resonate one with the other (an eclipse often bringing around similar events - this, from 1933 to 2023) the disruptive Uranian 'cosmic blink' event repeating in our day is a major heads-up in the forewarned-is-forearmed department for those who prefer democracy.

So here's a view of the April 2023 Eclipse Horoscope at a critical 29th degree: 7 North and the Chained Woman. And I suspect we might all agree that with the Supreme Court's recent Handmaidish ruling, the chaining of the feminine half of the population has already begun.

Saturn 2024 conj Fascism Rising Eclipse

Above: Bi-Wheel set for Washington DC including the inner chart of the 7 North 'Fascism Rising' Solar Eclipse of February 1933 relocated to our nation's capital; outer chart is the moment that transit Pluto finally leaves Capricorn and enters Aquarius (00AQ00:00) on January 20, 2024, which provides a major Plutonian vibe to the year of a Presidential Election (assuming that the US has one).

As you see, many astro-notes are squooshed upon the charts (mea culpa! again) meant for readers who care to look, where multiple indications of violence appear such as 1933's Marseillais Trio of violence (Neptune-Mars-Jupiter -- all Rx and frustrated in Virgo). These three planets by transit have been loosely conjunct in 2022 as several mass murders have been perpetrated and our children grievously killed as Republican politicians continue to protect the rifle-loving NRA (an arm of the Kremlin) with the group's 'death axis' conjunction of Mars and Saturn. It's there in the NRA Horoscope.

Meanwhile, the topic of Pluto to 00AQ00:00 has been previously discussed on SO'W and here are shown the midpoint pictures in effect on January 20, 2024 (from the chart displayed above), plus, the midpoint pictures in effect when Pluto first creeps into Aquarius on March 23, 2023 having previously done so in 1777.

As for the above bi-wheel and 2024 Saturn @5Pis13 'hitting' the Fascism Rising Eclipse degree of 1933, my theory is that 2024 Saturn in Pisces with the placement's 'struggle with opponents' (R. Ebertin) potentials describes people with the responsibility to carry out the themes of the 7 North Eclipse which disturbingly include 'deep passion long-hidden' and 'lust' (B. Brady) to which I must reluctantly add yet again my own assessment based on current circumstances: blood lust, and this, because evil forces via rascists and criminals are determined to "rise again" - unless we stop them.

For comparison: 7 North Solar Eclipses occurred in the years 1915, (1933), 1951, 1969, 1987, 2005 (@19Aries), 2023 (April 20th, Adolf's 'birthday eclipse' @29Ari50 which by degree conjuncts the January 6th insurrection Mars @29Ar54), and next in April 2041 @10Taurus which will ruffle the current 6 North Eclipse (@10Tau28) now in force. And please, dear reader, do not assume that neo-nazis and current-day fascists, foreign and domestic, are unaware of these cosmic synchronicities. Nothing happens by accident.

On the Solar Eclipse of Tucker Carlson

March 17, 2022

by Jude Cowell

The natal horoscope of Fox News personality Tucker McNear Carlson overflows with enraged Algol influences - spotlighted by his natal Sun @25Tau38 which also conjoins Midas! - and with a Taurus Moon conjunct fixed star Alcyone ('something to cry about'). No, Carlson's natal chart is not appearing here today because - well, because I don't want it here. His Sun-Midas conjunction to me implies that his life's goal (Sun) is to acquire the gold of Midas, or to become a Midas figure. Obviously, the fellow was born that way. And also born with an unaspected Saturn which can indicate someone without a conscience. For strong political views and a tendency toward debate, we see his Mercury-Mars opposition across the Mercury-Jupiter Gemini-Sagittarius polarity of ethics which also indicates that he loves to hear the sound of his own voice (A. Oken). For Tucker, making mountains out of molehills is a talent, and his views can often flip-flop due to the opposition, plus, the Seesaw shape of his natal planets.

So with this post, let's make note of the fact that the 'PE' (Prenatal Solar Eclipse) Saros Series that baby Tucker was born into with influences that run in the background of his life, is the 7 North which perfected on March 18, 1969 @27Pis25 with themes of 'passion' and 'lust' (B. Brady), plus, a theme that unfortunately it seems fit to add due to current circumstances: bloodlust.

My point is, a 7 North Eclipse repeats on April 20, 2023 @29Aries50 (in Carlson's 10th house of Career and Public Standing - secrets revealed? a change of direction?). Meanwhile, a 7 North manifestation was, in February 1933, what I've been compelled to label the 'Fascism Rising Eclipse', primarily because the Reichstag Fire, Hitler's false flag op used to help justify his power grab of the German government and what was to come, occurred under the auspices of the 1933 manifestation of a 7 North Eclipse.

Forewarned Is Forearmed

So if such be-prepared topics interest you, I recommend a view of the Third Reich Horoscope of January 30, 1933 (Campion chart #126) showing 25Tau34 rising along with fixed star Algol and the Sun-Midas conjunction of Tucker Carlson, busy making his income by promoting totalitarianism on-air. And naturally, you'll also recognize the late degrees of possessive, sometimes intolerant Taurus as the natal Midheaven, the Goal Point, of one Herr Tr*mp where violent Algol twinkles maliciously with malevolent intent, as we've seen.

As for the erstwhile Fox News personality and shill-for-Putin, Tucker Carlson recently broadcasted his program from Orban's Hungary. So in closing, here's an excerpt from a previous post with the founding data for Hungary:

"Campion's The Book of World Horoscopes (#ad) provides two charts for 'Hungary': #149 November 13, 1918 12:00 CET Budapest; ASC 00AQ02; MC 28Sco05; and 'Hungary - Democratic' #150 set for October 23, 1989 12:00 CET Budapest; ASC 7Cap20; MC 8Sco18."

Nazi Book Burning May 10, 1933 and Joseph Goebbels

Not February 6th but August 25, 2022: An Update

by Jude Cowell

Although the first Nazi Book Burning occurred earlier in May 1933, below is an updated Horoscope of the more famous event that occurred on the night of May 10, 1933 in front of the State Opera House, Bebelplatz, Berlin, Germany. Approximately 30,000 books were set alight including those of Freud, Marx, Hemingway, plus, books on Science, Philosophy, and more. Head Nazi propagandist Joseph Goebbels spoke at midnight, then bonfires were set in Berlin by members of the German Student Union as well as in multiple university towns across Germany - a campaign of censorship against ideas which were 'contrary' to Nazi ideology.

Highlighted in green, you'll see that natal placements of Joseph Goebbels are all over the event chart! Rising is his natal Scorpio Sun along with his other Scorpio planets, his natal Ascendant @1Leo42 has just crossed Midheaven ('MC' = The Goal: he and his ego are on full display), and the North Node of public contact @4Pis34 points toward his hellish Hades. If you wish, check out Goebbels' AA-rated natal horoscope here.

Please note that this post is being edited on Thursday August 25, 2022 and the above May 10, 1933 Horoscope is now set more accurately for 11:59:59 pm CET Berlin - and, for the purposes of this post - the 1933 Book Burning Horoscope is no longer surrounded by the event's Saturn Return Horoscope (Feb 2, 2022) @16AQ09 as in the original version of this post, but the event's Saturn Return is listed at the top of the horoscope.

A few factors not penned on the chart include: Jupiter at Station Direct (turned Direct 12H 39 M prior @13Vir17:24), the Moon is out-of-bounds of the earthly plane ('OOBs'), the infamous 'Marseillaise Trio' of violence (Mars-Neptune-Jupiter) is there in 10th house, and the dynamic T-Square of Mars-NN = Moon also contains another midpoint picture of significance:

Neptune-NN = Moon: 'lack of community spirit; cessation of an inner understanding between people' (R. Ebertin), an anti-societal tactic which we may agree describes a splitting or division of society and which Nazi ideology must have in order to successfully force itself upon a population. And please note that the event's 7 North Prenatal Solar Eclipse @5Pis28 (4th house) is what I've previously labeled the 'Fascism Rising Eclipse' - and a 7 North eclipse repeats on April 20, 2023 @30Aries.

Even if Trump sits out 2024 there's a 'Nazi Rise to Power' Eclipse in 2022

Every time I've heard Trump fly his trial balloon (or threat!) about running for president again in 2024, I think of two upcoming Solar Eclipses in particular with themes that relate to just such a bad idea. And as many pundits have said, a variety of difficulties lie ahead with or without a Trump in Politics.

First, the Nazi Rise to Power Eclipse of August 31, 1932 in the 6 South Saros Series in which a Total Eclipse repeats on October 25, 2022 @2Scorpio, then it's the Fascism Rising Eclipse of February 24, 1933 in the 7 North Saros Series in which a Total Eclipse repeats on April 20, 2023 @29Ari50, a critical 29th degree.

Now as parts of societal and historical cycles, both eclipses are worrisome for those of us who prefer democracy and the uplifting of the common good for as many people as possible! In the 1930s, America had FDR to see us through and implement social improvements. But how stymied will the White House be in 2022 and 2023 by power-lusting Republican authoritarians sporting theocratic credentials and cheered on by their wealthy backers?

So with this post I'm suggesting that 6 South and 7 North themes and degrees are worth keeping in mind in context with our present and upcoming conditions, issues, and personalities. And if you need to, dear reader, follow the links above and if you weren't already, maybe you'll consider yourself forewarned if not forearmed!
