Venus-Saturn at Inauguration 2025

by Jude Cowell, partisan for the USA

Perhaps you've noticed that a certain planetary conjunction appears in the Inauguration 2025 Horoscope (shown below), and that it also appears in the natal horoscope of Mr. Trump - for him, a suggestion of discontent in relationships.

So below you see a limited astro-comparison between the expected event of January 20, 2025 and the authoritarian fellow's natal chart - hard-hearted and full of jealousy as he is - who, with his comrades, intends to control our country, our Treasury, and our lives. Then the complete sabotage and looting of America is meant to follow - so pleasing to our nation's enemies.

What a massive resistance movement is needed!

Meanwhile, one of his foreign masters has let it be known that Mr. T has duties to perform now that he's been shoe-horned into the Oval Office with their help (again), duties which entail tasks that he must accomplish as per command. To me, this vise-like circumstance relates to 2017, when transit Pluto reached 18 Capricorn and transformed the energies of the 1993 Uranus-Neptune Conjunction/s into this seemingly unavoidable potential:

"The big picture commands a certain course of action which must be followed, very little option to do otherwise" (Solar Arcs, Noel Tyl #ad).

Of course, we can now read the transcript of the Project 2025 purge agenda to "appreciate" what sort of "big picture" the draconian zealots of lawless Utopianism intend to implement toward a global government of evil, not just in America. Grifting kleptocrats, the purposefully ineffective know-nothings of government, are being tapped for "service" as I type but on an acting basis so that they can be fired at an overlord's quixotic will - and so that revealing confirmation hearings can be avoided.

US to Enter a Period of Saturnian Misrule

As for the combination of Venus and Saturn in Politics and Business, let's quote Michael Munkasey for more information via the Hegelian Dialectic which describes how anti-societal actors create problems, then "solve" them as they intended to all along:

Thesis: Restrictions on wealth or income; law inforcement avoiding difficult or cumbersome issues; changes forced on an enterprise's new social...values; building the value of the enterprise.

Antithesis: Restrictions on the way society is able to function; elderly people in the enterprise who have artistic tendencies; a law enforcement bureau which derives pleasure from restricting the movement of the people. (Midpoints: Unleashing the Power of the Planets, Munkasey #ad).

Then as you see in the above bi-wheel, Mr. T's Venus-Saturn conjunction in Cancer receives Inauguration 2025's Mars and this uncovers a midpoint picture of note with potentials which may nor may not result:

Jealousy; violence; weakened powers of procreation; inclination to act on the dictates of emotional inhibition or of regained soberness; discussion or dispute; separation (R. Ebertin). Mr. Munkasey adds: lasting get-rich quick schemes.

To close, here's a related post describing one of the major factors that landed our country at this loss-filled pivot point: An American Tragedy of Mass Delusion which contains a revealing explanation by Dr. Carl Jung. Also, here's a previous post showing a bi-wheel of Inauguration 2025 and the Insurrection Act of 1807, a relic which apparently will be invoked so that mass deportations and other police state activities can be committed with alleged justification - against US citizens such as you and me.

And now for a much needed palate cleanser, you may want to catch the insightful commentary from The Daily Show's Jordan Klepper. Or at least, I would if I were you!

US Mars Rx: Energy Turned Inward

by Jude Cowell

"An army turned inward can quickly become an instrument of tyranny."

So stated Elizabeth Goitein of the Brennan Center for Justice. One of her primary concerns: the Insurrection Act of 1807 and its easily abused presidential powers intended to quell protests, riots, assaults, and upheavals against the government or, to quash, harm, and discourage a dissenting population. So in case you missed it, check out Rachel Maddow's recent and insightful interview with Elizabeth Goitein concerning this and related topics.

America's Self-Destructive Cosmic Condition via Mars

Now beginning pre-2006, we can very much include the misbegotten Iraq War of 2003, 'thanks' to the Bush-Cheney regime using the Project for the New American Century neo-con think tank to help build support for the invasion and occupation of Iraq which was an efficient way to squander the US military, US resources, and America's reputation in the world (you warmongering plunderers, liars, and dunderheads - Jupiter the General was Rx = no victor, and a bottomless money pit). And of course, for various examples of a Mars turned self-destructive with Mars symbolizing males we can find many instances of martian energies turned inward against ourselves, too often with a Mars-ruled weapon in hand. Disabled soldiers returning home from war and homeless US veterans barely existing on our streets, are but two tragic examples of US Mars Rx.

Now once upon a time, our national Mars in Gemini was progressing in direct motion, 'ready for action', and capable of handling more than one thing at a time. Now we're told that the US military is infiltrated by those who prefer to undermine our country rather than support it. You may wish to see Amy Goodman's take on this. And you've heard that Florida Governor DeSantis has recently signed a bill creating an 'Election Police Force', no doubt intended to terrorize Florida voters which will surely scare a number of them away from the polls in time to sway the November Midterms 2022. Obviously, violence could occur. These sorts of forceful actions are known as the underhanded use of lies, fraud, and thuggery in order to gain undeserved advantages. But the thing is, everyone knows that cheating isn't genuine victory, it's theft.

Meanwhile, speaking of nazi-style tactics for grasping the reins of power, we know that this same progressed condition occurred with Germany's Mars and lasted (symbolically) for about 80 years. The time frame of America's SP Mars Rx is also 80 years which puts relief at or during year 2086, assuming that malevolent saboteurs haven't had their way with our country long before then. Of course, warrior planet Mars, along with karmic Time Lord Saturn of the adamant sickle, are considered malevolent planets and can do a great deal of damage whenever they turn a raptor's gaze toward a target without mitigation and protection from other planets and/or when less negative conditions exist in general. Yet as with most earthly things, Mars Rx, even symbolically by progression, tends to describe a mixed bag of positive and negative events and circumstances - simultaneously or alternately. And as often happens, impulsive Mars may actually benefit from restraint, partially due to a sense of uncertainty prior to rushing into action (where fools so often tread).

Perverted Anti-Societal Actions in October 2006

Then if we search for descriptive 'Mars Rx' type events in October 2006, the month that US Mars turned retrograde ('Rx') by secondary progression (here I'm progressing the July 4, 1776 11:08 am LMT Philadelphia, PA Horoscope - progressing other charts may give slightly different timings - ex: the US Powell Chart's Mars didn't turn Rx by progression until 2009), our memories are immediately cast back to yet another incidence of gun violence, this time against innocent Amish school girls. The West Nickel Mines School Shootings were perpetrated on October 2, 2006 in Bart Township, Lancaster County, Pennsylvania by a 32-year-old milk man. (Note the lunar Cancerian symbolism of nurturance, family, and children; he left suicide notes identifying himself as a pedophile attempting to avoid committing such crimes again).

Horoscope: October 2, 2006 11:07 am edt Bart Township, PA:

So even though the effects of a natal or mundane planet changing direction by secondary progression ('SP') may be felt in the years leading up to the actual moment, the actual moment can represent a peak of influence within the cosmic flow of earthly events and as such, is symbolically displayed in the October 2, 2006 Horoscope, above. (For a timeline of events at the Amish Schoolhouse that horrific day, follow the West Nickel Mines link.)

Bi-Wheel: As you see, 'real-time' transits for the moment, date, and location that US Mars turned Rx by Progression on October 20, 2006 at 12:45 pm edt @18Lib42:20 (conjunct Herr T's 2nd house natal Jupiter Stationary @18:27) are outer, SP chart, inner. In the bi-wheel this may seem backwards but progressed charts are not descriptive for only a particular moment and, as noted, the influence of progressed planets turning direct or retrograde (aka, Stations), build up, peak, then wane or fade in strength depending on the orb you prefer to use.

Now in closing, you may have noticed that I've yet to mention the violent militia groups that formed since Tea Party days (2009), groups that were recently called into action by a certain saboteur then residing in the White House. This may be the strongest and most expressive form of US Mars Rx by progression yet, but we'll have to see how things develop as the next few months and years march on, jailings perhaps continue to occur, and the public airing of Jan 6th events takes place in June, last I heard.

A Related Post displays another event that occurred prior to 2006 but its societal significance was and continues to be a signpost on America's path to self-destruction which can be described in part by US SP Mars Rx: Violence in America and a School Massacre 1999.

And while we're at it, let's add a link to a horoscope that involves some of the largest rats in the martian woodpile: Horoscope of the NRA: Pan and the Trouble-Shooter.

A Further Note: Progressing America's Perpetual Union Horoscope of February 2, 1781 with Mars @00Sag56 may yield useful information concerning our 'energy turned inward against ourselves' topic. Recommended, if you have the time.
