Political News June 26, 2017: In keeping with the current transit of Jupiter (13Lib38; freedom, expansion) conjunct US natal Saturn (14Lib48; laws, legalities, courts, limitations) which brings a partial lifting of restrictions, Mr. Trump's travel ban has been somewhat upheld by SCOTUS and Trump's man, Justice Neil Gorsuch. Trump's (or should I say, Bannon's?) ban can now be partially enforced and the rest of its provisions are to be considered by SCOTUS in the autumn:
Plus, the DC horoscope of Autumn Equinox 2017 shows lawmaker Saturn @21Sag again which conjoins Mr. Trump's natal Moon and soon opposes his natal Gemini Sun as family and relationship matters and legal issues continue to bedevil him, and thus, We The People.
However, Mr. Putin the Troublemaker is doing fine as we see from his natal horoscope for transit Jupiter @13Libra now conjoins his natal Sun which expands his confidence, ego, and sense of self-importance and suggests the culmination of a project he began approximately 12 years ago which must now end or rise to a higher level. Any bets?
There are many clips of Independent Senator Bernie Sanders, speeches or interviews, through which we hear the echo of his fiery Aries Moon. The video below is one such for those with 13 minutes 5 seconds to listen. Passionate emotions are undisguised as the traditional translation of Moon in Aries loudly announces its energies via the senator and expresses that "I AM the People" a great quality to possess for those working in Politics (useful elsewhere as well). Better for a server sort of person which is the adult personality or essence (Virgo Sun) of Bernie Sanders, a servant of the people and a spokesman for the Collective.
Soon the upcoming Solar Eclipse, a cosmic blink, aka, a Uranian 'wild card' of the Universe, will express themes of seeing a situation, event, and/or person for what it/he/she really is rather than what you thought; a good time for tackling the truth. (Paraphrasing Predictive Astrology, B. Grady.) Perhaps with these themes as a background, retrospectives on the life and decisions of the recently departed Justice Antonin Scalia will benefit from these more sober contemplative frequencies influencing the Collective around and during the eclipse season. For even moderation should be moderated. But a fiery Aries Moon feeling fed up with systemic corruption to the core?!
So, good news, you chronically victimized American public! Alan 'Epiphany' Greenspan belatedly realized his 'ideology is flawed'!! It's an ideology that neglects others in that Ayn-Rand-ish kind of way, harboring a deeply selfish greed that purports to lift The Individual to godlike status (it pretends) and in the process, harms and exploits the masses. Yes, Mr. Greenspin and those of his ilk were and are "out of touch with the lives of the American people" by choice--in other words, they are out of touch with the stark reality of the Common Man that they helped engineer yet they do not have to share in the consequences of their actions (yet)! Powerful gold-hoarder Pluto now about midway through Saturn-ruled Capricorn is determined on that score ('the dictator')...a main feature of their global agenda is self-protection (for themselves, not for us.) One must suppose that they always have escape pods ready.
Well, dear reader, these sentiments are hereby very clumsily expressed and so I ask you to please allow Senator Sanders to remark upon the anti-societal behavior of the greedy 'economic royalists' (as FDR called them, although technically he was one of them yet at the least he pretended to have a conscience) while February 2016's transit Jupiter and the undulating Head of the Dragon (Moon's North Node) dance around together, sometimes in tandem (as seen from Earth). Now Jupiter will be turning Direct @13Virgo and moving forward to tango (or tangle!) with the Moon's Nodal axis once again before majestically passing onward toward Venus-ruled Libra, sign of the Scales of Justice. Libra is the sign where expansive Jupiter will join forces a while with America's natal Saturn @14Libra48 (on July 4, 1776) and we may expect that a restriction or burden will be partially lifted. This may relate to President Obama's constitutionally mandated to nominate someone for the Supreme Court. However, truth and justice will be requirements if the resulting benefits are to last and we know how seriously challenged the majority of American politicians are on that score.
Senator Bernie Sanders on the Senate floor circa 2012 if memory serves.
