DC Horoscopes: July 2021 Lunations and such

America July 2021: New Plans Made, Then Culminating

by Jude Cowell

May 31, 2021: On the occasion of today, Memorial Day 2021, and as A Child of the Revolution, yours truly chooses to share the following post on behalf of a sovereign America and the common good. Below is a dual image of the two July 2021 Lunations set for Washington DC.

First, on July 9, 2021, comes a New Moon @18Can01 (lower left) exact at 9:16:29 pm edt in 6th house (DC). In the DC chart, Luna rules the 6th house of Work and Service while the Sun rules the 7th house of Partnerships. Rising is 1AQ03 which lifts America's Inaugural Sun (Joe Biden) and bold Altair the eagle with it but with its solar power snugged between karmic planets Pluto and Saturn, both retrograde ('Rx') which suggests that some measure of renunciation, even privation, may affect the presidency - unless Mr. Biden, his team, and his high-powered backers can turn the energy around and use it on behalf of democracy and the American people.

One thing we know - there exist anti-American entities who will attempt to create difficult conditions in order to undermine the agenda of President Biden. (See Nemesis the foe @28Scorpio in the New Moon's 10th house conjunct the President Biden's Scorpio planets.) In addition, can anyone disagree that uplifting the common good is simply not a (neo) fascist objective and never was? Obviously, seizing power and forcibly taking control of America is their current objective as it was on July 1, 1933 when they approached General Smedley Butler with their malicious take-over scheme against FDR and the democracy-preferring American people. Note that representatives for the era's big bankers were among the treasonous group in 1933. Do you think it's different this time around?

And you know that cosmic evidence exists! For 1933's anti-FDR fascists were influenced by the background energies of two solar eclipses, one in 1932 in the 6 South Saros Series, the other in 1933 in the 7 North series. And so as eclipse and historical cycles will have it, it will soon be time for 6 South and 7 North eclipses to manifest again on: October 25, 2022 @2Scorpio and April 23, 2023 @30Aries. Wisely we should mark our calendars and be watchful before, during, and after these high-powered, 'cosmic blink' lunations of disruption and/or directional shifts just as many folk already are. For as progressive broadcaster Thom Hartmann oftens reminds us, "Democracy is not a spectator sport"! Which means, be active, do what you can!

Now as for July 2021, the stage of culmination, fulfillment, and/or complete awareness is reached with the Full Moon of July 23, 2021 @1AQ26 (upper right chart), the very degree that rises in the New Moon horoscope so for this and other reasons we may expect in July a focus on President Biden, but more broadly on the White House and the Office of the Presidency, plus, July brings our nation's annual celebration of our hard-fought independence from overbearing monarchy, cosmically known as America's Solar Return 2021 which we discussed in February 2021 (horoscope shown).

Plus, previously we noted the June 24, 2021 Capricorn Full Moon as society's reaction to the June 10th Gemini Solar Eclipse which is a 5 North Solar Eclipse that precedes both July 2021 lunations. This June 24th Full Moon @3Cap27 floats society from the Gemini-Sagittarius axis of 'Mercury-Jupiter' and into the Cancer-Capricorn axis with its 'Moon-Saturn' influences that suggest potentials for security concerns, home-vs-career issues, ambition, strategy, direction, possible illness (chronic or acute) and/or depressive or serious conditions.

Normal Celebrations by Independence Day 2021?

"America's Coming Back," says Joe Biden

March 12, 2021: Last evening, after President Biden gave his Covid Anniversary Address in which he offered "July 4, 2021" as the potential date and holiday by which Americans have a "good chance" of celebrating Independence Day in normal, safe fashion with the Covid pandemic under control, it seemed that a rewrite of my US Solar Return 2021 post might be informative in light of new events. Then I reread the post, considered the horoscope as notated, and realized that the SR 2021 chart's two YODs, both patterns containing potentials for karmic progress, and one suggesting "triumph," might not require a rewrite after all! And as you know, YODs often relate to health matters as these must surely do, plus, timing is involved for the apex planet, one of which is the Solar Return Sun (the leader).

Of course, We The People's cooperation by receiving vaccinations when available, continuing our mask wearing, handwashing, and social distancing must be kept up for such a stellar achievement as a safe Happy 4th of July celebration of freedom. And if such normalcy is accomplished, it will lend new meaning to our annual celebration, plus, sales of fireworks will sky rocket!

Of interest is the Ascendant in Washington DC last evening (8:00 pm est) as the President's address began: 14Lib24 bringing up America's natal Saturn, exalted in Libra (14:48). Rounding up to "15Libra" = "Circular Paths" which seems appropriate for a first annniversary coming round. As he spoke, President Biden's first natal planet to rise last evening in Washington DC? His Mars in Scorpio, sign of regeneration. Meanwhile, an entire breakdown and regeneration of American society is underway as transit Pluto returns to his 1776 degree, thus performing America's first-ever Pluto Return, exact three times in 2022.

So! Given that I'm side-effecting from a second Covid vaccination this week and not feeling my best, I will merely recommend the previous horoscopic effort to you, dear reader, for review if you wish but keeping a return to normalcy in mind and, as usual, inviting your on-topic observations via comment. jc
