Horoscope: July 27, 2018 Lunar Eclipse conj Mars Rx

DC Horoscope: Lunar Eclipse @4AQ44 July 27, 2018 4:20:17 pm edt White House Washington DC = Radical Events; Hour of an unaspected Mercury Rx @23Leo20, 9th house. When unaspected, the thinking-communicating planet Mercury knows little of which it speaks due to its limited interests and lack of curiosity or experience in a variety of realms.

This is a prominent Total Lunar Eclipse occurring upon America's natal South Node of the Moon so a dependency upon past actions or solutions may be evident and may or may not be sufficient to deal with present circumstances. As you see, testy Mars Rx in Aquarius accompanies the eclipse which provides dynamic energy and motivation but premature action and past quarrels and anger may erupt. And since eclipses tend to uncover hidden conditions and secrets, this Lunar Eclipse won't be shy in that department.

Meetings and encounters are suggested (Sun-NN) for POTUS and other leaders (Sun) while those of a feminine persuasion (Moon) may be left behind (SN) and feeling enraged (Moon-Mars). That America's natal Nodal Axis is involved suggests we've been here before and one may think of past SCOTUS or other legal rulings which directly affect women and families including Trump's self-created, cold-hearted border crisis. Corporate and other financial realms are affected by the eclipse perfecting across the 2/8 axis in DC with the National Treasury (2nd house) under stress thanks mostly to spendthrift, wastrel politicians (Jupiter-Neptune) who continue to style themselves as "conservatives".

Now with 6Sag51 rising, moneybags Jupiter is chart-ruler and makes only one applying Ptolemaic aspect, a trine with Neptune which hints at financial schemes or fraud (see lower left corner of the chart), plus tricky conditions, dumb luck, inspired creativity, and our visionary abilities expanded (to see how much better things could be!) Beware get-rich-quick schemes (as always!) and try hard to focus on reality as much as possible. Upholding truth would be good as well though it's difficult with the massive amounts of propaganda we're subjected to from all directions--also a function of Jupiter-Neptune.

Now I neglected to circle it but there is an inconjunct between Sun (POTUS) and law-abiding Saturn, the authority. This shows consciousness of a sense of guilt and the need to be taken to task for one's past mistakes. It seems that someone's needs for significance and recognition are being hampered just now and an adjustment is necessary on the level of personal authority and accountability. Meanwhile, Mr. Trump's obsession with constantly comparing his achievements with those of others only points out his flaws and failures rather than having the brainwashing effect he expects--even with all the whoppers he tells to boost his image! Well, as you know, Saturn isn't about 'image', he's about the facts and he demands them.

So with fire-starter Mars out-of-bounds (OOBs) of the earthly plane (off on his own in rigid Aquarius) we still must add his frustration (Rx) to the dynamic energy encased within the T-Square/s that point to radical Uranus so we expect many changes and reforms as pent-up energies and pressures are suddenly released into the environment. Possible expressions include political policies and regulations that anger many people, depression, a potential for more suicides, natural disasters such as quakes and/or tsunamis, more volcanic activity, arson, explosions, violence, riots, protests, strikes, war, and general strife. Pressure must be released and a certain sense of purging may be the eventual outcome and this may involve US natal Neptune in Virgo (22Virgo) which sits atop the Aspiration Point of this chart. In Virgo, delusional Neptune can be fault-finding and with a pathological sensitivity, plus, Mars in Aquarius also likes to criticize though it's often superficial. Even so, our usual delusions and disappointments over Virgoan matters such as employment and health may surface (MC) under the rays of this karmic Full Moon in Aquarius and be brought into the public discourse once again. Perhaps abortion issues such as Roe v Wade will continue to be a heated part of the conversation since a new conservative SCOTUS Justice may threaten to unsettle the law, and of course, Virgo is also the sign of The Virgin so sexual and gender issues are certain to be on the political agenda.

And of course, as anyone can tell, this promises to be a Long Hot Summer. With Mr. 'Red Tie' Trump having natal Mars rising and being born under his own Saturnian Moon-SN conjunction (with Sun conjunct NN and Uranus, his chaotic guiding planet in Career 10th), he's definitely a large participant in this difficult cosmic picture and is certain to be directly affected by its energies which perfect within his natal 6th house of Health, Work, Service, and Daily Rounds. However, he may choose to blow of steam through speeches, throwing tantrums, and/or by projecting onto others via Military or Police actions (6th house). Yet if he should choose this course, his actions will be premature.

Astro-Round-Up: April 2014 Eclipses and the Cardinal Cross


April 10--May 4, 2014 Cardinal Grand Cross and an April of Eclipses

by Jude Cowell

Change is in the air! 'God of war' Mars is very active though retrograde in Libra. And since April 2014 in particular is garnering much attention online for its Cardinal Cross and Lunar Eclipse of April 15, 2014 @25Libra (a so-called "Blood Moon," a title Mars heartily agrees with) I'm posting a round-up of articles and videos about these cosmic events for your inspection. Of late, non-astrologers are noticing that 'something is up' with all that's going on in the world---shifts of all kinds and many of them are violent, injurious, disturbing, or simply unfortunate.

Astrologer Greg Scott offers an informative video at OM Times including the significance of the number '13' while Julie Demboski writes insightfully and on a more personal level concerning the Eclipses of April 2014.

Here is Steve Judd with "Yet more on the Grand Cross of April 2014":

Check out this presentation on the April 15 Lunar Eclipse as it affects "our soul's journey" and how we're "moving to the next level" of consciousness (one thing the astrological Moon signifies is the Unconscious, as you know, and with the eclipse occurring near the North Node, energy will rush in--occurring near the South Node energy would drain out):

And in case you missed it, here is one of my efforts concerning the Lunar Eclipse "Blood Moon" of April 15 which includes the dates of all four Total Lunar Eclipses into 2015.

Say...did anyone note that the white supremacist shooter at the Jewish Center and retirement home has the timely and descriptive surname of 'Cross'? This tragic event is an example of how frustrated Mars can be when in retrograde motion, how misguided his motivation, and how misdirected his energy.

Wonder if Mr. Cross imagined that committing murder delivered some kind of 'justice' with testosterone-driven Mars in Libra, sign of the Scales of Justice? Well, if so, the word 'vigilante' must be added.

Mars Direct Station April 13, 2012 at 3Vir40

If you've been feeling the sluggishness and frustration of the long Mars retrograde period--and Mars tends to be extra frustrated when in Mercury-ruled Virgo--you will notice in the next several days that the planet of action will begin to move forward once his Direct Station simmers a while as of Friday April 13.

Meanwhile, what a find! My friend, astrologer Dipali Desai, has published an article with the full scoop: Mars Turns Direct at 3 Degrees Virgo on April 13, 2012 which you won't want to miss if you've not glommed onto it by now!

Dipali uses '3Virgo' for the Station degree but considering that this is a Political Astrology blog and since current news contains an abundance of mentions of racial issues and events in America (from President Obama's daring occupancy of the White House to the Trayvon Martin tragedy and more) I shall round up to '4Virgo' for its Sabian Symbol, and the Illumination Point degree opposite for a fuller picture--quoting in part from Marc Edmund Jones' The Sabian Symbols in Astrology:


'4Vir' = "A Colored Child Playing with White Children" = INTIMACY.

positive expression: successful participation in every possible variety of experience;

negative (unconscious/shadow side--jc): lack of capacity for psychological adjustment.


'4Pis" = *"Heavy Traffic on a Narrow Isthmus" = CONVERGENCE.

pos: an unusual gift for organizing all transient enterprise in patterns of a rewarding and overall effectiveness;

neg: stubborn blindness to the general welfare.

Now I don't have to say that the last negative expression reminds me of America's current crop of Social Darwinists in Politics, do I? "General welfare" just isn't their thing at all for they are not their brothers' keepers--it's 'survival of the fittest' for these jokers. How odd that many of them purport themselves to be 'Christians' while backing Rep. Paul Ryan's budget plan, what someone--sorry I don't remember who first used the term--called Mr. Ryan's "Starve Granny Plan".

And hopefully, April 13's forward direction of contentious Mars won't inspire and bring to implementation an unfolding plan by the Pentagon to lead the American people into yet another disastrous war while austerity-implementing politicians continue beggaring our citizenry--and spying on us as if we're America's problem!

Yet the 2012 Direct Station of Mars shows the 'god of war' opposing nebulous, fraudulent Neptune in its own sign of Pisces, a military sign. A Mars-Neptune opposition hints at the 'fog of war' and at suspicion of motives where it's what we don't say that later incriminates us. And of course, there's that problematic, confused and misdirected energy of the Mars/Neptune square in America's natal horoscope of July 4, 1776. History repeats...

So with its constitutionally granted war-declaring power, where does our special-interest-loving US Congress fit into yet another duplicitous war-waging scenario? Well, here's a quote from Thomas Jefferson from his Notes on the State of Virginia:


"In Great Britain it is said their constitution relies on the house of commons for honesty, and the lords for wisdom; which would be a national reliance if honesty were to be bought with money, and if wisdom were hereditary."

*I think of Florida and the Trayvon Martin case with this Symbol of a "narrow isthmus" though I suppose 'peninsula' would be more correct--plus, Mars Station Direct reminds me of Florida's 'stand your ground' legislation which seems highly suspect (Mars opposite Neptune) to me. jc

Jim Marrs on Bankster Control (video) w Mars/Iran Concerns

War Drums of Mars Rx w a Jim Marrs Interview on Bankster Control

February 19, 2012 Alex Jones interviews Jim Marrs...

Here's Part 1 of 3 with a link to the rest of the interview provided below:




View Parts 2 and 3 at dProgram.net.


For further Mars-tinged reading you may wish to try Jeremy Scahill's article Washington's War in Yemen Backfires (war = Mars, backfires = Rx), and catch up with expert astrologer John Townley's analysis on the chances for war with Iran--possibly this summer--as shown by Mars' Rx and Direct periods, when a Window for War opens and the pent-up energies of Mars when Rx forcefully burst out in surprising or unexpected ways once the 'god of war' begins moving forward.

On April 13, 2012, Mars Direct Stations @ 3Vir41 in 9th house of Foreign Lands when the horoscope is set for Washington DC ('4Vir' = "A Black Child Playing with White Children"--sorry to point out that this symbol is rather apt for Washington, and the MC (Goal) of the Direst Station chart @ '28Vir' = "A Baldheaded Man Who Has Seized Power"--now that can't be Dick Cheney again, can it? Well, jingoistic neocons are feelin' their oats again these days--with global domination on thsir reptilian brains.)

Yes, things may really heat up in Martian fashion once Mars reaches shadow degree (of his Rx Station--'23Vir06') and rushes into the light on June 19, 2012 with Jupiter 1Gem50 and Venus 8Gem41 Rx (conjunct US natal Uranus 8:55) in worrisome 'nuclear degrees'--and snugged around Mr. Obama's natal Moon in early Gemini.

Plus, you know that President Obama's natal Mars 22Vir35 is *highly involved with US natal Neptune 22Vir25...the fog (Neptune) of war (Mars) may surround the Pentagon once again if neocons and other imperialists have their warring way.

*For the highly involved President Obama, 2012 has brought along a three-fer Mars Return and it remains difficult if not impossible for the American people to see or understand his true motives (Mars) with our national planet of veils and delusions (Neptune) tossed over his motivations and activities. The third of his 'hits' from transit Mars to natal Mars occurs on June 18, the day prior to Mars reaching shadow degree. Is this within the "window", as John Townley describes?

In addition, the hot actions and reactions of contentious Mars concerning an attack on Iran may also relate to May 2012 as timed by the May 20, 2012 Solar Eclipse which conjoins Alcyone (something to cry about.)

Yet on another level of Martian feistiness, we may say that Mars Rx Brings Women and Their issues into the Spotlight! Personally speaking, a return to a maternalistic world would be fine with me for we're experiencing worse than ever what a testosterone-driven world of paternalism so often forces upon the innocent--and by that, I very much include the good people of Iran. jc

Nov 15: Mars Rx on US/Bush natal Suns

The Nov 15 chart for Mars' first moment of retrogradation (3:24:28 am est when set for Capitol Hill) has Mars 12Can27 at MC 12Can06 and chart-ruler Venus 7Lib01 just risen (ASC 10Lib37) squaring Mars Rx, both planets angular.

Venus rules 8th house of shared resources, insurance, debt, credit, transformation, the occult, with 7Tau44 on 8th cusp. This places Dick Cheney's natal Jupiter/Saturn conj on the 8th cusp. The Venus/Mars square is waxing (5A26) with Venus in 12th house yet ruler of the 1st.

Mars' other applying aspect is a trine to Uranus, planet of technology, progress, and revolution (2A22.)

Moon (fluctuations; changes; publicity; the public) rules 10th house of Career and Public Status, but is posited in 4th house of Domestic Scene and Endings. A Capricorn Moon (22Cap09) is very ambitious and business-oriented and the flavor of the chart for Washington seem to be financial and security-minded.

Wounded Healer Chiron (10AQ51) continues his visit with Cheney's n Sun (vitality; true purpose) as mentioned previously.

Plus, the chart's strongest energy is Cancerian, a sign intimately connected to the US natal chart, so things are happening here.

An angular Mars gives the testy, impetuous fellow an outlet for his warring and quarreling energies--not an easy picture for the US or for George Bush.

Mars rules the 7th house of Partnerships, Legal Affairs, and Open Enemies, and there are indications of separations, especially those due to disagreements and discord.

Is a separation from Cheney in the offing? Kucinich is attempting to impeach Cheney in the next few days, they say...plus, the Sun rules the heart.

Nebulous and obfuscating Neptune, North Node (associations; encounters) conj Fixed Star, Fomalhaut (one of the Royal Stars of Persia), and rebellious Uranus are in 5th house of Speculations and Risk-taking. Where the outer planets appear, things may occur which are out of anyone's control.

Tech-minded Uranus may relate to the web (Net Neutrality again an issue) and/or to the NYSE and other market systems and programs as well; while Neptune refers to hidden shenanigans and fraud. Their Great Conjunction/s of 1993 remind me of super-software Promis which can track and manipulate financial accounts and markets worldwide (among other Orwellian things.)

For info on Fomalhaut including Dane Rudhyar's interpretation of "4Pis" (Nov 15's Nodal degree) see previous post, Sunrise in Baghdad Feb 22, 2006.

Sun 22Sco35 is in 2nd house, another of the Money/Values houses (opposite 8th house.) Asteroids Lilith and Vesta are conj IC, so these ladies may have some say in matters for the next few months as Mars Rxs (moves seemingly backwards) through degrees he has already traversed...the Mars Rx Sun is shining on Earning Ability of the 2nd house.

And where is moneybags, R-Party-ruling Jupiter? At 22Sag33 in 3rd house and nearing his Great Conjunction with Pluto on Dec 11. This pairing could be riches-and-treasure-related--and hopefully is not nuclear-related. Their hook-up describes and times a power-behind-the-throne (Pluto) meeting (conj) with Jupiterian figures (gurus, professors, rich men, Rs, priests, preachers, monarchs, etc.)

But More on Mars Rx:

Then there are our recent fires, chem plant explosions, and other mayhems which will continue to be in the news unfortunately as Cancer (the Home) is host to quite a few instigators of the Martian variety.

Considering Mars' connection to infections, is the worldwide honey bee 'colony collapse disorder' being worsened by this transit? Are mites, chems, viruses (Australian or otherwise), or cell phone interference part of the picture?

The magnitude of this loss has not been seen before and our food sources are under threat (Mars.) 3/4 of all plants need pollination--they can't reproduce on their own. This crisis is bigger and perhaps more immediate than global warming, m'peops.

My own thoughts on the mystery of the lost bees is that there is a combination of several elements with chem exposure (esp pesticides) a definite factor weakening their resistance to infections. The bees have been examined and seen to have scar tissue and 'white packets' in their digestive systems. Fungi found are similar to those in human beings with weakened immune systems.

No matter the causes, our environment has made the honey bees ill, and we'll be missing 1/3 of our food without them.


Transit Mars will be moseying back into Gemini again, of course, sign of Communications, Messages, The Twins...and sign of The Two Towers.

Issues pop up concerning 9/11 and certain persons' past actions (Mars)--I'm thinking mainly of Geminian Rudy Guiliani and of Bush's radically reforming natal Uranus/NN in Gemini, although candidate John Edwards and the UK's Tony Blair have healthy doses of natal Gemini as well. And last I heard, the faulty communications systems on 9/11 are not what they should be as yet--scandalously so.

And tr Mars has already affected three of Bush's natal midpoints and will do so again, giving a time period of influence...here are the pictures:

Uranus/ASC = Mars: a vigorous or active intervention in one's environment; becoming physically violent; pratical tech cooperation; suffering threats, injuries, or wounds;

NN/ASC = Mars: desire for joint achievements; a working association of people for the pursuit of the same objectives;

At 14Can+: Mercury/Uranus = Mars: determination; courage; summing things up and acting accordingly; a sudden realization of ideas; assaults; nervousness;

Uranus/Pluto = Mars: a mania of destruction; fanaticism; an act of violence; the 'bending or breaking' stage; accident.


Mercury in Scorpio (5:16) is in 1st house so will be the first planet to rise in the Mars Rx chart--deep-thinking, investigative Mercury in Scorpio loves the propaganda and the spying. Mercury sextiles Saturn 7Vir30, in 11th house of Groups and Associations, is semi-square Jupiter 22Sag33 in 3rd house of Communications. Jupiter is closing in on his Dec 11 Great Conjunction with Pluto 27Sag29.

Yet prior to that, the tr Saturn/Pluto midpoint will rise. As you know, the cruelty and war of the Saturn/Pluto opposition was very much in effect on 9/11/01, so I tend to keep a squinty eye on the tr midpoint of these heavy-weights.

Recently their midpoint conj'd Bush's natal IC, and thus was opposite his n MC (Aspirations; the Goal; Career; Public Status) so he expressed:

Sat/Pluto = MC: tenacity and endurance overcomes difficult circumstances; severity; one-sidedness; separation (flight); an ascetic, magician, or an adept. (The Combination of Stellar Influences, Ebertin)

Often linked to America, asteroid, Atlantis (sense of doom; abuse of power) is worrisomely rising (9Lib43) and is conj Fixed Star, Vindemiatrix...keywords: loss of partner. This asteroid is obviously connected to NASA's space program...whatever that's really for (?)

The Mars Rx chart's Sun Sco/Moon Cap blend has two Images for Integration:

A general leads his troops to victory...A film director plans each shot to maximize its emotional impact. (Sun Sign, Moon Sign, Chas & Suzi Harvey.)

Testy Mars is bringing the US more testing times and I hope we may all stand strong--together. This backbiting prez campaign is not doing The People an iota of good and serves to divert attention from the real issues--and touts our pretend two-party system--an illusion if there ever was one.

As I moseyed round the 'net this morning I happily found an article on November planets which you may want to read including info on Mars Rx by Astrology Chick so check out her post at your leisure with its November influences for all twelve signs. Good job!

Congress' Saturn Return

Just a Shout-Out on my recent post concerning the ongoing Saturn Return of Congress which now has been updated from Jan 17.

One quick addititon: the Sabian Symbol for the Return Moon "21Sco" may be instructive:

"A soldier derelict in his duty."

Well of course, one first thinks of George Bush's past AWOL status, but I believe it refers to the current stand-off on Bush's war escalation, don't you? Not that our troops are derelict--the valiant majority of them have been anything but--so it may refer to withdrawal--which is underscored by the US Mars (military) now Rx since July '06.

And the Saturn-Neptune T-square pointing to this Moon may describe the grievous and untenable situation our troops have been placed in by Bush, Cheney, Rumsfled, Perle, and the rest of the warhawks.

Please read the Saturn Return notes below, if you wish...
