Humanity at the Crossroads of Destiny

by Jude Cowell

In a September 2020 post concerning Mars stationing @29Aries on September 9th, we discussed the station degree's Sabian Symbol, The Music of the Spheres. Also mentioned in the post was a certain aspect that reminds me somewhat of those 'wild cards of the Universe', those 'cosmic blinks' we Earthlings know as eclipses.

So as regular readers of SO'W may know, eclipses often turn up in my posts primarily because eclipse cycles are informative when it comes to the study of historical cycles, and because eclipse themes are descriptive of energies, influences, and conditions running in the background of society during the period an eclipse is operative.

Such a lovely cosmic Symbol for activist planet of motivation and desire, Mars, isn't it? Thing is, it's one degree after the position of J6 Mars @30Aries once the planet of violence and protests turned Direct in mid-Aries at the November 14, 2020 "maga Million-Man March" on Washington on behalf of bu*t-hurt election-loser, Donald Tr*mp. Trumpist resentments were made clear that day! But they were made even clearer when transit Mars - males, some in, some out of militia outfits - went on to viciously attack the US Congress on January 6, 2021 in a coup attempt meant to stop or disrupt Congress' Vote Certification of Joe Biden's victory.

Then as you know, hours later President Biden's victory was certified despite Trump's desperate desire to hold on to power. J6 Mars: "30Aries": "A Duck Pond and Its Brood" - instigated by a brooding Herr Tr*mp, monarch-wanna-be.

Uranus-Neptune: Such Irrational Times We Live In

Now yes, it's as tiresome to type once again about the world's ongoing misfortune as it is for you to read of it, but there's a particular reason to mention these topics today: because over our heads, two transpersonal planets, Uranus and Neptune, are in septile aspect with one another. Septiles represent The Grand Irrationality, writes expert astrologer Robert Wilkinson (see his article link in the post noted, above), and I'll add that during these septilian times (see what I did there?!), and with the Uranus-Neptune pair known as both the 'new world order' and The Enlightenment duo, travel in a septile aspect (51:26 degrees, to be exact), indicating that the karmic pair "underscores our Collective feeling that humanity is at the crossroads of destiny".

Therefore, it's understandable that those receptive to otherworldly influences of a higher plane are feeling such difficult energies subtly acting upon and within the Collective. Not that knowledge of Astrology is necessary, for astrological principles only attempt to describe reflections, in an As Above, So Below kind of way.

And we know that, even with our country's global leadership role seriously undermined by enemies at home and abroad, it remains true that where America goes, so goes the world. At least that's the sinister plan of America's enemies in this Freedom vs Slavery (Uranus vs Neptune) conflict of good vs evil. Destructive forces are seeking to re-establish antiquated notions and negative conditions! How daft that humanity should regress!

Yes, regressive anti-societal forces must be resisted even while the septile suggests the concept of an "existential crisis" so often mentioned these days in the form of America's obvious democracy vs fascism standoff, and which also echoes the imperatives of a YOD planetary pattern of 'turning points-crossroads-special tasks' and/or 'karmic opportunities' - at least for those "woke" enough to realize that the time to take action on behalf of democracy is NOW, but may also benefit the privileged few who have the where-with-all to consider crises as opportunities.

Nazism Then and Now: The Threat Is Real

Nazi Era 1933--1945: The GOP Has Brought Back the Primal Violence?

by Jude Cowell: pro-democracy all the way

On April 20, 2023, what I've previously termed "Hitler's birthday eclipse" in the 7 North Saros Series manifested @29Ari50, the degree of warrior planet Mars on January 6, 2021, the day of the maga mob attack against the US Congress on behalf of Donald Trump. One would have to be a head-hiding ostrich not to see the connection with the current poisonous infiltration into American institutions of Hitler-loving sabtoteurs of the political class.

Through this Mars-Eclipse synchronicity, a cosmic time link is revealed between Hitler, his Nazism and dictator-wanna-be Trump along with the scofflaw vigilantes and thugs he set loose on January 6th to stop the vote certification for Joe Biden. Outrageously, complicit Republican politicians of a fascist persuasion now "serve" in the House of the 118th Congress, with sabotage and the protection of indicted criminal Trump on their to-do list.

Not necessarily because a total reversal of their cruel plans is certainly possible with our persistent determination and the power of truth on our side. One necessary aid in the struggle is to know what democracy is once again up against. Therefore, for those who might appreciate it, historical information concerning Nazi Germany and the Third Reich is readily available online and includes details concerning the old Nazi ideology of their mislabeled "national socialism" which animated Hitler and his fellow criminals hiding behind its facade, a group with extreme resentments beginning with Germany's humiliation over the Treaty of Versailles, signed on June 28, 1919; the provisions of the Treaty ending World War One (WWI) went into effect on January 10, 1920.

Now as you know, "national socialism" was a ruse to fool the German population with the illusion that Herr Adolf and his brutal gangsters worked for the common man as they stoked resentments already within German society. If this exploitation from the Nazi era sounds familiar, you must be an American experiencing the 'Trump era' which I count from his Gemini 'prez bid' New Moon of June 16, 2015, the morning of his descent on the "golden escalator" of Trump Tower NY when he delivered a racist speech to a paid-off audience, $50 per head. It was political thespianism by a B-list reality TV "star" with a longstanding dream of being president but was really an announcement of what he and his wealthy backers intended as the death knell of democracy in America, and the vanquishing of America as global leader. We might also time our Trump troubles beginning with the Spring Equinox 2015 Eclipse, its energies made more sinister by its conjunction with Scheat, the star of misfortune and extremism.

So when it comes to exploiting resentments in society for selfish purposes, perhaps we can agree that in our day, there may never be a man more resentful and begrudging against others than the Mango Mussolini!

So in closing, here's a related SO'W post published in February 2011 (!) which was intended as a forewarning of our present difficulties that only ostriches can ignore now that they're no longer hiding behind 'the Republican party' label and are prancing around openly - Horoscope: Fascism Rising Solar Eclipse 1933 (then and now). Perhaps you can see, dear reader, that I've been writing and warning about the sadistic 'white power' criminals (Adolf's 'Aryanism' on steroids) attempting to take over America for quite a long while.
