--"--to ensure the survival and success of liberty--" - JFK Inaugural Address January 20, 1961 Capitol Building Washington DC
Our Karmic Loss Echoes Through the Decades
by Jude Cowell, partisan for democracy
Today, in November 2023, the American people are engaged in a fight for democracy and the liberty that comes along with it. Our complete rejection of Fascism and Nazism is necessary in every possible way including Voting Blue in Election 2024 - otherwise all our democratic geese will be cooked and swallowed by barbarians.
Now if you've visited SO'W before, you may know that in previous posts I have referred to the Assassination of President John F. Kennedy as, The Day America Died. Obviously, the restless Uranus-Pluto Conjunction/s of the mid-1960s strongly influenced events with the planetary duo's 'old order collapses, construction of the new order' (R. Ebertin) implication as a major suspect in the crime although their conjunction was yet to become exact in mid-Virgo (3x in 1965/66).
Now below with my study notes intact is a view of the 1 North Solar Eclipse of 1963 @27Can24 in 9th house when the chart is set for Dallas, TX; when a solar eclipse manifests in Moon-ruled Cancer, emotional extremes hinder karmic progress (ex: the election of a Catholic president ruffled the feathers of many Americans). As you see, 1 North themes of 'distorted or false information, unexpected events, and/or health problems, fatigue' (Brady) are written across the top of the chart and are highlighted in orange; JFK's natal positions (b. May 29, 1917) are penned around the chart and highlighted in turquoise:
Of course, a variety of cosmic influences were in force as well, and a basic one running in the background of society is the eclipse cycle during which the Assassination of JFK occurred. As noted, that would be the 1 North Eclipse of July 20, 1963 @27Can24. Tellingly, this Total eclipse in the 1 North series ("The Mother of All Eclipses" being numero uno) opposed US 1776 Pluto (Rx @27Cap33) and this contact reveals that the tragic murder of President Kennedy was perpetrated at a critical point in America's karmic evolution.
So we know that in 1963, We the People and the US government which was created to represent our interests, were striving for higher attainment on the evolutionary or spiritual scale (his election was very uplifting for our country, as I remember!); otherwise we would revert to animalism, primal violence, and brutality (Pluto). How different our society could have been!
And so I'm saddened to say that animalism - purposefully chosen to change our national direction and to wound and hamper the American people - was the choice of the enemies of JFK and his administration because his and RFK's reforms were unacceptable to certain people of a criminal persuasion - those who will do whatever it takes to reach their objectives (exs: mobsters; certain wealthy elites). And yes, we're now mired within a cycle of animalism as I type, with violent acts regularly threatened by Herr Trump, his comrades foreign and domestic, and his gullible cult followers - bashing against the US Justice System.
Eclipses: Uranian Wild Cards of the Universe
Simultaneously, another 1963 contact, this one to JFK's natal Saturn, is quite instructive because the 1 North Eclipse @27Can24 landed directly upon his Saturn (27Can09) indicating that he was the president of the hour with the responsibility, know-how, and the discipline to carry out society's required directives. This contact also suggests that JFK was well equipped to handle the duties of office, and that he took a serious view of his karmic obligations (R. Lineman) - exactly what the office of the presidency requires.
Yet as you know, eclipses disrupt events on Earth and can lead humanity into an entirely new direction similarly to the action of the erratic planet of chaos, Uranus, with Total eclipses being especially strong.
As for assassination stopping him in his tracks, JFK's natal Saturn is the apex planet of his Sun-Moon midpoint of vitality, but on a mundane level, this trio can denote 'smears on the national reputation' (Munkasey) which is indicated with the solar eclipse (Sun-Moon) conjunct JFK's natal Saturn. Yet on a personal level, his midpoint picture thus created indicates 'addressing problems' positively, but negatively suggests 'a weakened system' (his health issues are well known, but governmental systems are also involved since karmically speaking, how goes a president, so goes the nation). A potential for Saturnian 'separation' (R. Ebertin) is also suggested and, as it turned out, was the tragic outcome for the Kennedy family and for our nation.
And so this sorriness of grief and loss is how the 1 North Eclipse of July 20, 1963 affected President Kennedy's natal Saturn (at Midheaven and fully visible to the world), his planet of sober leadership, duty, responsibility, and karma on The Day America Died. Meanwhile, manipulative Pluto, the assassin, via its 1776 position, was opposed by the 1 North while Eclipse Saturn formed an obstructive sesqui-square of complexity to President Kennedy's natal Pluto at this, his Nodal Half Return of destiny.

And you may wish to read about the eternal flame that Jacqueline Kennedy requested for her husband's grave in Arlington National Cemetery.
1 North Eclipses also manifested in the years 1909, 1927, 1945 (Trinity Test), {1963}, 1981 (as the Reaganomics Eclipse),1999 (as the 'Fixed Grand Cross Eclipse' found in The Book of Revelation which Nostradamus warned against due to its 'terror' implications), 2017 (as The Great American Eclipse conjunct royal star Regulus and Herr Trump's natal Ascendant).
Meanwhile, the next 1 North Eclipse occurs on September 2, 2035 @9Virgo, and the very first occurrence of a 1 North manifested on January 4, 1639 @13Cap48 which means that all subsequent 1 Norths may be more clearly viewed through a Saturnian lens which can add themes of avariciousness, selfishness, and greed to the proceedings, or, on a higher level, can indicate 'old souls' teaching others to walk the sober, responsible, and conscientious path that leads to karmic progress.
