Peter Thiel October 11, 1967

by Jude Cowell, partisan for the common good

The most useful information I've found so far concerning newbie politician and VP pick of GOP nominee Trump, JD Vance, is the following segment by Rachel Maddow exposing the real reason why Vance was VP pick:

Actually, this post is intended to display a noon natal horoscope for Peter Thiel, born in Germany on October 11, 1967, grew up in the US, and takes on the role of a wealthy behind-the-scenes meddler in US politics. Perhaps you remember that Thiel's RNC 2016 speech was somewhat unusual but so was the Republican conference with its Russian influences and Capricorn Full Moon conjunct US 1776 Pluto.

Added below Thiel's noon chart are a few notes concerning the Prenatal Solar Eclipse Saros Series ('PE') into which Baby Thiel was born:

Mercury with Mars = Politics

Planetary details from the horoscope, above, include a midpoint picture that was operative no matter the hour of birth: Sun = Mercury-Pluto making Thiel a keen observer with a need for recognition. Yet his Mercury @12Sco30 is unaspected which suggests a lack of self-reflection, independent thinking, and a strong ability to concentrate on objectives; a one-sided approach is a potential.

Then notably, Thiel's Mercury conjuncts the unaspected Mars of President Biden which similarly indicates a concentrated focus on matters at hand; the contact indicates verbal combat. Plus, Biden's Mars @13Scorpio, you'll remember, was opposed by transit Mars @13Taurus during the Biden-Trump debate in June 2024 which denotes Biden's head cold along with the aggressive Taurean forces aligned against him (Mars vs Mars).

The opposition also suggests a lamentable lack of an astrologer for the timing of Biden's events because no competent astrologer would ever suggest such a Mars-infused date for a confrontation, political or otherwise.

Last 5 North: June 10, 2021 @20Gemini Conjunct Trump's Natal Uranus-NN-Sun

Meanwhile, Peter Theil's birth on October 11, 1967 falls under the auspices of the 5 North Eclipse which manifested for him on May 9, 1967 @18Taurus with themes of sudden flashes of ideas from the unconscious; hunches, visions, prophetic dreams; a highly creative series (paraphrasing B. Brady). For some folks, 5 North themes are being ruffled or inspired into activity by the current 8 North Eclipse, the third Great American Eclipse of April 8, 2024 @19Ari24 conjunct Chiron of wounding fame with 8N's "vivid dreams, visions, intuition" themes.

Taurean Venus Can Be Greedy, Envious, and Vindictive

Now when solar eclipses are in Venus-ruled Taurus, emphasized are determination, endurance, reliability, and persistence yet negatively may denote Taurean traits such as intractability, bullheadedness, intolerance, indolence, extravagance, possessiveness, and greed. This eclipse suggests an inherent attraction to economic causes and policies which tallies perfectly with the super-sized appetite of the Republican Party, now morphed into the authoritarian "Trump Death Cult Party" with its proposed fascist Project 2025 agenda intended to hobble the US economy, embezzle from the National Treasury, devalue the US dollar to boost crypto-currencies, take over the US government, gut the ranks of Civil Service employees who make things run on time, collapse American society, and steal from our social safety net funds, paid into by US taxpayers.

So anyone who reads the GOP agenda for 2025 can see that misery, suffering, and loss are what they offer - and their lawless dystopia may be brought to us all by Americans who are self-destructive or careless enough to vote Republican on November 5, 2024. It seems that a hardhearted Christian Nationalism has thrown deceptive sand in their eyes, as we know by the constant gaslighting from a power-mad authoritarian GOP determined to rule the US for decades. Not govern. Just rule like kings.

Meanwhile, planetary aspects to Peter Thiel's 5 North Eclipse of October 11, 1967 may be instructive:

Mercury conjunct shows a need for reasoning and logic, and may have health connotations (Mercury in sexy Scorpio, sign of surgery); Mars inconjunct denotes a family history which may include physical abuse (perhaps taken out on little Peter?); Neptune opposed denotes confusion, cloudiness, and chaos-creation within the realms of a truth vs fiction, reality vs fantasy atmosphere. Finally, his rebellious Uranus-Pluto conjunction trines his PE suggesting that friends, colleagues, and groups are assets for him and may be called upon for remedial action or regeneration (paraphrasing R. Lineman).

Was Thiel Behind Threat to Trump if Vance Not His VP Pick?

So being curious about the natal Pluto of this anti-democracy Plutonian figure Thiel - and knowing that two of the several caps manipulative control-freak Pluto, the dragon guarding the golden hoard, wears - the Pope and the assassin - I subtracted Pluto's orbit of 248 years from 1967 and got the year 1719. As it turns out - and it may mean something or nothing but it does at least partially rhyme with current events - on October 11, 1719 the Philippines' Governor-General Bastillo was assassinated. Therefore, the cosmic time link (1967 to 1719) is suggestive but not conclusive; however, Thiel's birth basically may be said to symbolize a Solar Return to the violent action of 1719 so you may wish to see Wikipedia's Events of 1719 for more potential correlations with our era.

Dear Reader: stay tuned to SO'W if you can for I'll be publishing soon on the proposed September 10, 2024 Biden-Trump Debate in case it happens yet we must note that it possibly could occur between different combatants. Also planned is a post re: the 1934 Eclipses repeating in 2024, a don't-miss.

Plus, available for my amazing Patreon subscribers is a recent post of a bi-wheel showing contacts between the US Constitution Horoscope of 1787 and the Project 2025 Horoscope, posted due to Trump's threat to toss out the US Constitution and its principles which the orange scofflaw finds hugely inconvenient for the implementation of Project 2025's purging agenda. Then as you can imagine, even a dollar a month subscription is encouraging for the continuance of this time-consuming Political Astrology work, and my Thanks So Much to all those who subscribe. Alternately, you could simply Buy Me a Coffee! jc

Felon nominee taps JD Vance as VP sidekick

by Jude Cowell, partisan for democracy

While at Yale University, JD Vance met future wife Usha Chilukuri who has law clerked for such justices as Kavanaugh and Roberts. White there, the pair collaborated to organize a discussion group focused on the topic, "social decline in white America." One can guess that Vance's best-selling book resulted in part from this study.

Word is, JD Vance converted to Catholicism about 5 years ago and we see his Neptune Rx @29Sag01 in his natal chart with Neptune's rounded-up Sabian Symbol, "The Pope Blessing the Faithful."

Now as a freshman US senator, Vance has been described as "a right-wing populist" and a "neo-reactionary." Born August 2, 1984 in Middletown, Ohio (Butler Co), the suave JD Vance can be willful and rebellious according to his Sun Leo-Moon Libra personality blend, detailed underneath his noon horoscope image.

August 2, 1984 "noon" Middletown, Ohio

Because the Moon remained in Libra for the 24 hours of his birthdate, we know that Mr. Vance was born under the influence of a fire-air Sun Leo-Moon Libra combination of conscious-unconscious energies. Fire-Air blends are charismatic "live wires" full of ideas and zeal, are long-winded with bluster and bombast - even to the point of getting carried away by their own rhetorical eloquence.

Plus, Sun Leo-Moon Libra is a bossy blend that is intellectually curious, a lover of luxury, and tends toward an imperious manner. Only his intellectual curiosity doesn't track with Herr Trump's personality! Additionally, Vance is a stubborn guy as is Trump so we'll see how their relationship proceeds.

And yet it may go well, for a while (at least until Vance outshines his narcissitic comrade) because Sun Leo-Moon Libra types have a darker, more serious side to them that can lead to controversy and provocative behavior - perfect for hurling accusations against political opponents. Perhaps this includes his past public assessment of Herr Trump as "America's Hitler." So who does Vance aspire to be: "America's Goebbles"?

But for now, their relationship may trend closer to one of Trump's touted "bromances"!

Weaknesses of this blend include: Vanity, unconscious snobbishness, self-righteousness about moral issues (a Catholic convert) who tends to lean on others without always acknowledging their support, and/or a lazy streak which may occasionally surface (Sun Sign-Moon Sign, Charles and Suzi Harvey #ad). He has changed his name, too, and was born James Donald Bowman.

Themes of the 4 North Saros Series

As for the Prenatal Solar Eclipse Saros Series ('PE') into which Baby JD was born, that would be the difficult 4 North Series which manifested for him on May 30, 1984 @9Gem26 conjunct US 1776 Uranus (8:55), and Trump's natal PE (8:46). Themes of 4 North include: restriction, restraint, inhibition, separation, and illusions. Obstacles occur and there's a tendency to misjudge strength or the situation (B. Brady).

4 North Eclipses have manifested in the years 1912, 1930, 1948, 1966, (1984), 2002, 2020 (Summer Solstice Eclipse June 21st @00Cancer), and next in 2038. Meanwhile, the initial 4 North Solar Eclipse occurred May 25, 1389 @12Gem08 with 1389 Pluto at the currently significant degree of 24Tau47, a disturbing cosmic time link with Herr T's natal Midheaven.

Possibly of interest: Events of 1389.

Want America Stuck in The Confederacy of 1861?

by Jude Cowell, partisan for democracy

These days, Trumpists under the imprint of the GOP want to regress American society back to the era of The Confederacy, a period in the Southern US of slavish feudalism under a fascist-style regime of seditionists like the villainous Jefferson Davis.

This heinous threat is one of the reasons, in a previous post, we discussed The Confederacy and Its Dark Vein of Intolerance. And as a native Georgian with Confederate ancestry, I've composed and published fussy posts about such topics for years now. Do you think more Americans are aware of the existential threat, now that democracy struggles for its life (and ours), and Election 2024 soon will showcase a stand-off between President Biden and a convicted felon/fraudster determined to claw his way back into the Oval Office, by hook or crook?

Some Democrats Are Saying, Jettison Joe!

Personally, I agree with political commentator David Feldman who says that The Media Once Again Is Handing Us Trump in his latest podcast episode of July 6, 2024 (1H 16M).

And I'm certain you've noticed that since the recent Biden-Trump Debate, the mainstream media isn't covering the competing visions of each candidate's future plans, if elected. The implications of Trump's dark vision seem to elude the talking heads and their producers. But to me, the identity of the person with his "finger on The Button" is a major concern on steroids for the entire world - not that every US voter will consider this. But boy should they.

So who should lead the country as of 2025? A superficial, transactional, traitorous, dictator-wanna-be, horndog? Or a thoughtful statesman who has known the deepest of losses, who walks a little slower than he used to, speaks softly yet wisely, has accomplished major legislative feats during his presidential term that benefit the American people, and yet has always had to struggle against a stutter? Then there's "Scofflaw Donnie who came to town just to tear the US down"! And his voters, corrupt politicians and judges, and wealthy enablers want him to.

Back to Hoop Skirts and Petticoats? No Thanks, I'm Good!

So now I must wonder: do you know there's a Horoscope of The Confederacy, and that a series of the regime's Neptune Return/s began in 2023? As you know, Neptune Return/s have done no good for the Republican Party (their Neptune 1854 in mid-Pisces), so we'll see if plans for re-establishing The Confederacy (using the GOP's Project 2025 dystopian agenda) proceeds under Neptune's watery influence in Pisces - the planet of dissolution, disappointment, subversion, deceit, and cults, including death cults as were the barbaric Naz*s - which is what Tr*mp's threatened "American Carnage" would bring. His foreign bosses, enemies of America including Russia, would be so pleased with their boy were their longterm dream of a US collapse be fulfilled.

Meanwhile, as displayed, above, the 1861 Horoscope of The Confederacy is revealing and describes at least some of the conditions that the 'Maga' GOP along with theocratic handmaidens and their abusers want to re-implement in US society - if only you'll vote in November for their cruel madness.

Project 2025 and Kevin Roberts

A Quick Peek at the Planets of Kevin Roberts

by Jude Cowell, partisan for democracy

The Wikipedia bio page of dystopian provocateur of tyranny, Kevin Roberts, labels him mildly as a "political strategist." Yet the page contains reference links to a variety of articles about him saying he's a "DC outsider" and a "cowboy Catholic." Take your pick but don't leave out the fact that Roberts assumed leadership of the Heritage Foundation and Heritage Action on December 1, 2021, and soon after he took the reins of control, Project 2025 became a thing, a game plan, as it were, for a longed-for Trump v2 stint in the Oval Office come January 20, 2025. Or, if agent orange can't attend, an agenda for any other Aryan-styled seditionist, eager for power and pining for a pat on the head from Vlad.

Update July 26, 2024: It has been reported that Kevin Roberts is a member of Opus Dei which suggests a Vatican link with the global take-over scheme.#

Now if you've read any of my fussy posts before, you know that I consider the GOP's dystopian agenda they call "Project 2025" to be their hail Mary effort to sabotage the US government into a military police state, aka, Fascism with a generous helping of neo-gnatzie-ism.

Meanwhile, "Project 2025" has become the most searched for term on Google in recent days which is a good thing since Election 2024 approaches: let's sunlight the heck out of its madness. And despite Herr Trump hiding away for several days in an attempt to disassociate himself from the harshness of their purge agenda, no one is fooled by Donnie's absurd coyness. We know who and what the orange monster is - and he must be directly faced to be vanquished.

So just in case you ever need it, above a noon natal horoscope for Kevin Roberts surrounded by the July 2, 2024 Neptune Station Rx @29Pis55:54 - which conjuncts the fixed star of extreme misfortune, Scheat. Why? Because, as you see, Roberts has a trio of natal planets in the tribal sign of Cancer: Sun @2Can47, Saturn @7Can34, and Mercury Rx @12Can02, and all three will be eventually squared by Neptune in the coming few years. Beginning with his Sun (which squares his natal Pluto giving him a "might makes right" domineering attitude - including toward women). This is a transit of confusion and disorientation when his leadership position, integrity, principles, and honesty are in doubt. Then once transit Neptune enters Aries and proceeds to oppose natal Pluto (@4Libra), whatever political and financial power he has gained by then will erode.

Of course, this might be a comforting thought but unfortunately its influence won't come soon enough to gum up their vengeful Project 2025 agenda in case a Blue Wave of sane voters fails to Vote Blue on November 5, 2024 and be counted. Now you must have read or heard Roberts' threat against our families and America's future, but I'll quote him here (with one asterisk) for those who've managed to miss his intention so far:

"We are in the process of the second American Revolution, which will remain blo*dless if the left allows it to be."

And this psychopathic behavior of aggression, dear reader, was signaled to us last year by the 7 North "blo*d lust" Eclipse of April 20, 2023 @30Aries, the position of the American Revolution's Sun and the J6 position of warrior planet Mars on January 6, 2021. 7 North in April 2023 qualified, in fact, as Herr Adolf's "birthday eclipse."

And btw: 7 North also timed the first shot of America's Civil War of 1861.

SCOTUS: The Purge and The Joke

by Jude Cowell, partisan for the comon good

Update Monday July 1, 2024: As expected this morning, SCOTUS decided to kick the presidential immunity case back to the lower court of Judge Tanya Chutkan presumably, using a hair-splitting official vs personal acts justification. And in a decision favoring corporations, the court has also performed a purge of governmental agencies and experts' decisions about clean air, water, and so forth.

This ruling is part of the GOP's long-dreamed-of deconstruction of the administrative state, a facet of the purging that Project 2025's fascist agenda will codify into law if dictator-wanna-be Trump manages in November to commandeer the Oval Office helm and take control in January. If so, this would be a case of a convicted felon's short but greedy finger on The Button. What could possibly go wrong?

My original post begins here:

At this juncture, there are two SCOTUS Horoscopes saved in my files. One is set for April 30, 1790, the day that President George Washington signed into law the Crimes Act of 1790 which determines punishments for crimes such as treason.

The positions of today's planets highlight the nearness of the next Saturn Return of SCOTUS 1790 with Saturn @20Pis55:05 (1st session) and you see the Return 2025 Horoscope, below, along with a bi-wheel of SCOTUS 1790 (inner) surrounded by a July 1, 2024 Horoscope set for 10:00 am edt Washington DC - America is now a monarchy, We the People have lost the Revolution:

Jupiter For Jokes, Saturn For Laws

Now destroyed in America, ideally the balance between Jupiter (expansion) and Saturn (restriction) should be respected by everyone on Earth since their yin-yang relationship creates the flywheel of the Universe which keeps the planets in our Solar System from flying off their courses. Perhaps you're seen the headline about SCOTUS Is a Joke and it isn't funny. The court's brazen, unparalleled power grab decisions, particularly since Dobbs 2022, are harrowing. Then perhaps we should question the cosmic condition of the Supreme Court's Saturn, planet of The Law.

Because with legal eagle Saturn as the karmic planet of law, order, structure, systems, status quo, The Establishment, government, business, work, concentration, and restrictions, the current Saturn Return of SCOTUS (the third of three Returns on January 19, 1996 (Horoscope shown) with quirky Uranus @00AQ27 conjunct POTUS Sun - President Clinton acting out of character, and a fantasy-prone Mercury-Neptune Conjunction that snugs around US 1776 Pluto suggesting purification rituals) should be consulted as often as possible by those who have the time. Then it's on to the March 2, 2025 Horoscope.

So now that transit Saturn, planet of karma, has been in watery Pisces, sign of secrets, subversion, and delusion, for a while now, the position of SCOTUS 1790 @20Pis55:05 will obviously receive a return visit from the lawerly planet which times a new phase of legalities and responsibilities when what no longer serves their objectives is discarded. This 29-year period will begin on March 2, 2025 as shown in the Return Horoscope, above, and the court's ivory tower isolation from the populace (Venus-Saturn = ASC) will continue as they pontificate from on high with an air of imperial arrogance such as the Vatican usually exhibits.

"The Storm" Eclipse of 2019

Capricorn: Sign of Government, Law, Business, and Authority Figures

by Jude Cowell, partisan for our democratic Republic

As agent orange lurked in the people's White House playing POTUS, year 2019 opened with a significant Solar Eclipse in the 2 South Saros Series @15Cap25:02, and if we use the First Vote for Independence Horoscope of July 1, 1776, aka, the Powell Horoscope of America, the Eclipse landed upon - "eclipsed" - the Powell Moon, symbol of We the People - as independence and freedom from oppression were demanded.

Actually, this cosmic synchronicity (Sun-Moon conjunct Moon) gave many Americans the intuitive ability to realize on a deep level what authoritarians were up to and to understand what must be done, while others compounded our nation's karmic debt by repeating mistakes of the past - or by trying to (ex: the Naz*s desire for world domination via brutality and theft). A "unified Reich," as Trump has subversively promoted.

So recognizing that some folks have referred to the J6 coup attempt as "the storm" or "a storming, below you see an unmarked version of the 2 South Eclipse of January 5, 2019, aka, "The Storm" Eclipse based on its future direction North Node's rounded-up Sabian Symbol, "A Storm in a Canyon"; negative potential = "fatuous enjoyment of turmoil" (M. E. Jones). Perhaps we can agree that turmoil, chaos, and disruption are precisely the tactics that Uranian Trump likes to create and use against us for like Naz*s in the olden days, such conditions create the best period of time for reforms to be more easily implemented - distasteful, dystopian, undemocratic, and anti-American as his so obviously are:

Planetary aspects to 2 South provide a fuller picture of conditions and trends:

Saturn conjunct Ecl: those with responsibilities related to 2 South themes and who are well-equipped to correctly handle the issues (Saturn in its own sign of Capricorn);

Pluto conjunct Ecl: Plutonians unite; a network of Syndicates; negative potentials include gang wars and rapes, and other criminal offenses (Pluto in Capricorn: the dictator - R. Ebertin). Note that the harsh, compressive Saturn-Pluto Conjunction of January 12, 2020 was yet to come and would conjoin Trump's natal Vertex @23Capricorn, a point of fateful encounters and with a potential for "wish fulfillment."

Neptune sextile Ecl: inspires the loftier side of Neptune's spiritual gifts, plus, psychic and intuitive powers increase bringing hope to the downtrodden masses.

2 South Themes: Unusual groups; finding a particular group to join where a great deal can be gained (paraphrasing B. Brady). Initial 2 South occurred on April 17, 991 (OS) @1Tau47, Venus conjunct Aries Point, and Pluto-NN = Jupiter (@12Aries): "Desire to obtain position and power by force through the help of other people" (ex: Putin); and "attainment of great gains through others " (R. Ebertin). Michael Munkasey adds: "potential success through an ability to use people" and "An enhanced ability to read the political motives of the people you meet and assess their needs for power".

Other prominent features of 2019's 2 South Eclipse include: Saturn-Pluto conjunct Sun/Moon: sparing no pains in one's work; over-exertion; cold feelings; a tragic destiny for women (R. Ebertin); Munkasey adds: important denials of extremes; controlling emotions as you push toward goals; dominating others through a strong will; strong control over other people's habits (and over women's healthcare, as it turned out--jc).

And here's a bi-wheel of our Powell Horoscope of July 1, 1776 (inner) with the 2 South Eclipse 2019 Horoscope (outer) as a transit chart:

Events of 2019

Multiple events in 2019 relate to issues of freedom and independence. One such involves the INF Treaty (Intermediate-Range Nuclear Forces Treaty) which was signed by Reagan and Gorbachev on December 8, 1987 at the White House under the influence of a 7 South Eclipse with themes of Mars-Pluto power issues. The INF was set to expire on August 2, 2019 but earlier on February 1, 2019, now-felony-convicted Trump confirmed that the US had withdrawn from the INF citing Russian non-compliance. Next day, Russia withdrew from the Treaty as well, and considering Trump's close tie with authoritarian Putin, one might reaonably expect that their withdrawals were coordinated.

Obviously, this freed Putin and Trump on the nuclear level to act as they wish by failing to renew the 1987 aggreement and by not signing a new version. Of course, in 2022 Putin invaded Ukraine and is destroying the country as best his massive ego can.

So! Follow the 2019 link, above, to check for additional events influenced by the group-joining 2 South Eclipse until the 3 North of July 2, 2019 @11Cancer over South America with themes of "news that transforms a situation" and "obessive worry" (B. Brady).

In closing: if you're concerned for America's future with foreign and domestic enemies continuing to target the US, you may wish to see a previous post Is History on Russia's Side?

Total Eclipse 2024 w/ Total Eclipse 2044: Why?

An Ongoing Struggle for Control

by Jude Cowell, partisan for democracy

Details regarding the 8 North Total Eclipse coming up on April 8, 2024 @19Ari24 are available at USA Today along with information concerning the next Total Solar Eclipse visible across Greenland, Canada, and the US occurring on August 22, 2044 @00Vir34:11 in the 10 South Saros Series. This will stir up themes from the August 21, 2017 Eclipse ("unexpected events; fatigue; information is distorted and possibly false" - B. Brady).

Now as previously discussed, the visionary 8 North of April 8, 2024 conjuncts Chiron, also @19Ari24 and near America's 1776 Chiron (@20Ari08), with 8 North visible across the center of the US from Texas to Maine. And as you know, it's the third Great American Eclipse of 2024 with the second one occurring on August 21, 2017 @29Leo (as noted, above) conjunct Regulus and Trump's natal Ascendant in the 1 North Series. Allegedly making America "great" then, and now, with Election 2024 on the horizon, making America "great" again - by way of a shady political slogan, that is. Of course, you know what the racists mean: making America white again.

And so the next visible Total Eclipse in the US will be the 10 South Solar Eclipse of August 22, 2044, and it will be opposed by Pluto Rx @1Pis35. This opposition from transformative Pluto indicates a choice between two courses: either the highest spiritual level is attained, or reversion into the basest animalism is the case. Yes, we're mired within such circumstances now, culminating with the 2024 Election to decide on either the relatively free society we're accustomed to vs a tyrannical gnatzie-style regime of strong-man barbarism profanely blended with holier-than-thou legislated theocracy. Most folks by now have heard of the draconian plan known as "Project 2025" set to explode on Inauguration Day 2025 if a fascist coups the White House in November.

Note: if you're unfamiliar with the SACR organization of Christian Nationalists and Christian Marriage promoters ("domination in the home" easily becomes S'n'M practices when mishandled - as they will be), check out The Guardian's coverage. I am informed that "SACR" is pronounced "sacker."

And yet a sextile from Mars @3Sco18 to the 2044 Eclipse helps moderate the baser energies although backsliding is possible, especially with lusty Mars in sexy Scorpio.

Not So Fast, 2044!

Yet we should mention that an additional 10 South Eclipse occurs between now and the Eclipse of August 22, 2044. Actually, it manifests quite soon on August 12, 2026 @20Leo01 and is featured in the dual image, shown below. In Leo, an eclipse spotlights the need for expressing the positive qualities of Leo rather than pompousness, self-glorification, boasting, and egocentricity which stymies positive karmic growth and problem solving.

One thinks of the toxic narcicissism in the spotlight today: politicians and CEOs so desperate for total control of the US government, US finances and resources, and societal standards while pushing regressive policies existing as far back as the 1800s (or even further as with Alito's repeal of Roe v Wade). But as everyone knows, "time travel" is not a thing so irrationality is a basic feature of their paternalistic ideologies, not a glitch.

Leo (Aquarius) Then Virgo (Pisces)

Now with an eclipse in modest Virgo as in 2044, qualities such as hard work, dedication, discernment, and perceptive analysis are required for best results, with criticism kept to a minimum. Plus, @00Virgo, the 2044 Eclipse conjuncts royal star Regulus with its caution: success if revenge is avoided; otherwise all gains will be taken away (as Regulus-rising Trump is fighting against now). As you know, an eclipse conjunct a fixed star strengthens both their influences.

For 10 South themes see Eclipses: 2024 Through 2026.

Set for Washington DC, above is a dual image of the 2026 and 2044 Horoscopes of 10 South Total Eclipses. The 2044 manifestation will be visible in Greenland, Canada, and the US with its path of Totality racing over Montana, North Dakota, and South Dakota. The 2026 Eclipse will pass over the Arctic, Greenland, Iceland, the Atlantic Ocean, and Northern Spain. Naturally, one thinks of melting ice and other water events, but also the fire element can be involved with an Eclipse in Sun-ruled Leo.

Cosmic time links exist between both these eclipses and with previous eclipses such as the "Nostradamus" Eclipse of August 11, 1999 in the 1 North Saros Series (repeated in August 2017) with 1999's rigid Fixed Grand Cross of planets. These time links may be topics of future posts.

Then for a broader view, the cosmic lens through which all subsequent manifestations of 10 South Eclipses may be viewed is the initial Eclipse in the Series, its sign, house and aspects. The first 10 South Eclipse occurred on March 10, 1179 (OS) @26Pis01 (transit Neptune's Zodiacal swimming pool in late Pisces). Then since Pisces is associated with cloudiness, I'd suggest Pisces as a spiritual lens along with Collective Unconscious implications since many of the events of 1179 involved The Crusades and other battles for control, both spiritual and temporal. And yet we know that with shady Pisces, secrecy, mystery, confusion, and/or crime cannot be ruled out.

So this is my overview of two Total Eclipses Over America: 8 North on April 8, 2024 and 10 South of August 22, 2044. If you find any value in this post, dear reader, please pass it along since few readers ever share my SO'W posts (discouraging!) yet it is much appreciated when a share occasionally happens.

Insurrection Act w Inauguration 2025

Trump Monster To Use Insurrection Act If "Re-Elected"

by Jude Cowell

Those who have criticized Donald Trump or who stood in his way have good reason to be worried about Election 2024 and Inauguration 2025. Trump's comrades are said to be preparing the fascist Project 2025 so that Trump can "hit the ground running" Day One and implement the Insurrection Act so that he can use the military (and militiamen one assumes) to take revenge against the American people, against anyone who dares protest against him or his "presidency" - to arrest participants in civil disobediance. Americans making good trouble, as John Lewis would say.

Although the Heritage Foundation is denying culpability, the Koch-infused group, along with the "America First Policy Institute" of anti-democracy seditionists, are said to lurk behind the "guideline" being called Project 2025, an agenda by which they intend, using figurehead Trump backed by foreign comrades of the global criminal network, to "re-shape" the federal government into a Hungarian-style government which under despot Viktor Orban is no longer a democracy.

Meanwhile, if a US voter in 2024 wants to see how America will end up under another Trump regime, check out results in occupied France by August 1944 when American forces arrived and liberated the destroyed country from the Nazi regime, by watching the four episodes of All the Light We Cannot See on Netflix. This could be the USA under Trumpists like Jeffrey Clark, who may be another election denier about to flip on Trump in Georgia, Newsweek reports.

And as for wide-girthed Trump hitting the ground running, see "Trump's vision on executive authority is more organized and ambitious" (includes a Nicolle Wallace segment). His 'hitting the ground' sounds great, but 'running' is laughable.

Why Did President Jefferson Sign the Insurrection Act?

When President Thomas Jefferson signed the Insurrection Act of 1807, it was intended to "foil a plot by Aaron Burr" to set up a republic of his own - former VP Burr's own private Empire in Mexico. Sedition then, sedition now. But for insurrectionist Trump to use the Insurrection Act in 2025 - and the presidency to protect himself from criminal accountability - would be a topsy turvy use of the Act! Why, George Orwell would be proud/not proud.

So! See what you can make of the horoscopes, below, and the transits from 2025 to 1807. We should note that the 1807 Act became operative under the influence of a 7 North Eclipse ('blood') lust; hidden passion which repeated on April 20, 2023 @29Ari50 (conjunct the J6 Mars of 2021 and the American Revolution Sun of 1775); Election 2024 and Inauguration 2025 will occur under the auspices of a difficult 8 South Eclipse @10Lib03 with themes of loss and separation (B. Brady).

Insurrection Act 1807 (inner) and Inauguration 2025 (outer):

Now although the 1807 Act was amended in 1871, 2006, and 2007, the initial date of the enactment of the Insurrection Act creates a most interesting Historical Horoscope worth keeping in mind if grudge-holder Herr Trump grabs the opportunity to use its provisions for taking revenge against his fellow Americans - not against enemies of our nation, but against the American people who find him intolerable and unfit for purpose.

And for those who use a late Aquarius Moon to symbolize We the People, his dreamed-of revenge feels like Trump's rising Mars in Leo opposing US 1776 Moon writ large, if we allow it. The exact hour of the 1807 Act's enactment is unknown to me, so 12:00 am LMT is used to set up the Insurrection Act 1807 Horoscope, above, set for Washington DC, and March 3, 1807, the date the 1807 Act came into effect. As you see, there are contacts between the 1807 planets and the planets of the Inauguration 2025 Horoscope which surrounds the 1897 chart in bi-wheel form, plus, a list of midpoint pictures for both events is added, here, with both events sporting distinctive Sun-Pluto signatures of power and the use of it:

Republican Revolution to fight Trump's "Nemesis"

by Jude Cowell, posting on behalf of the common good

The Worship of Mammon; wikimedia commons; public domain

Dear GOP: The love of money is the root of all evil

An article by Michael Hirsh in today's magazine edition of Politico, Inside the Next Republican Revolution, elucidates the battle between conservatives in league with ex-president Donald Trump and what he considers to be his "nemesis," the "deep state," which in reality is the federal bureaucracy of Washington DC, aka, the federal workers whose efforts make the US government perk along. Note that Trump's natal Nemesis @16Can40 is posited in his natal 11th house as are his Saturn and Venus in Cancer (June 14, 1946).

Now it may be that government bureaucracy has grown too wieldy for our very busy and populated nation, but Trumpers' plan to completely purge and destroy various agencies is the longterm GOP agenda to collapse and destroy the US government so that a dystopian, anti-democratic fascist regime can be more easily implemented (with the GOP in power forever). Obviously, the "Reagan Revolution' of the 1980s is implicated through Neoliberalism's "trickle down" scam now on the skids under President Biden's policies, along with Reagan's other anti-societal policies during the 1980s' Decade of Greed which championed the GOP's highly lucrative Worship Of Mammon.

So the Politico article linked, above, begins with Paul Dans of the Heritage Foundation, an MIT-educated lawyer, now leading a "team of former Trump officials" who are preparing a new "America First" agenda, aka, Project 2025, which at its core, is a fascist agenda.

And admittedly, for years on SO'W I've fussed about a multiplicity of sinister GOP plans through solar eclipses and other cosmic signposts so I'll simply add to this post a list of previous post links for those who care about the future of our country and don't mind using the lens of Astrology for investigative purposes. The following list won't be comprehensive so I urge you to use the SO'W sidebar Search field for other offerings by typing in topics such as "Eclipses," "Fascism," or, "Nazism."

But naturally the most important 'urge' I can shout out to you today - as if you didn't know - is to Vote Blue in 2024 for Democracy. Your family members and future descendants will greatly appreciate your vote.

Let's Not Vote in 2024 to Further Enrich the Filthy Rich!

by Jude Cowell, posting on behalf of the common good

So when we look astrologically for high finance, corporate banking, the Federal Reserve banking system, and America's money concerns we soon must consider the high stakes planetary combination of Jupiter and Pluto. A previous post, written prior to the current government shutdown/credit downgrade drama forced upon us by House Republicans provides a view of the Jupiter-Pluto Conjunction of November 12, 2020, part of the 13-year Jupiter-Pluto Cycle now influencing financial matters.

Occurring at 22Cap51, the conjunction landed upon the natal Vertex of one Donald Trump for whose approval the maga House members stage all their clown shows and political kerfuffles, hoping to blame President Biden for the negative consequences of their actions, and thus affect outcomes in the 2024 Election - in their favor!

And yet we know that Republicans engage in such underhanded measures no matter the collateral damage to the public because GOP policies are anti-constitutional, anti-democratic, fascistic, and are intended to collapse the US government "small enough to drown it in a bath tub," as Republican Grover Norquist so instructively informed us years ago. Check out a view of Norquist's 'noon' natal horoscope if you wish, particularly around the final degree of Leo where royal star, Regulus, twinkles, though now precessed to 00Virgo+.

After all, hollowing out the US government and establishing authoritarian fascism is what The GOP's PROJECT 2025 is all about.

Now here's a tri-wheel of all three Jupiter-Pluto Conjunctions with details found in a previous post:

So my best advice for the sake of America and the common good?

Vote Blue in 2024 for democracy as if a continuance of the United States of America depends on it. Because you know it does.

The Eclipse of the GOP's PROJECT 2025

by Jude Cowell

Yesterday, the issue of democracy vs authoritarianism was discussed in a post concerning the GOP, Foreign Power, and Pluto in America, but I'd yet to hear about Trump-GOP Project 2025, their plan to completely change America's form of government into a fascist dictatorship once Trump, or another fascist Republican, is sworn into office on January 20, 2025.

Perhaps you caught this disturbing news in the NYT about the treasonous plot to concentrate all power in the White House, or heard Rachel Maddow's report re: PROJECT 2025 last evening. 'Chilling' is the operative word here, folks. Theirs is a malicious, sinister scheme to end all schemes--and to end democratic governance upon the Earth, as they grandly hope. And we have the Heritage Foundation of busybodies to "thank." May the unwieldy scheme collapse under its own bloated weight.

Despair Is NOT An Option!

Of course, you realize that criminal saboteurs reveal such ideas and plans ahead of time so that the public will feel demoralized and the plotters' dystopian ideas will seem to be inevitable. They're not inevitable, but that's how enemies of America want the US public to feel--as if democracy has run its course, and big (sinister) changes are in the air. Yet being world class liars, why should anyone believe anti-democracy plotters concerning their big vision for this country? Why, any dumblehead knows that the majority of the American people does not want to live under a fascist dictatorship. Besides: this evil has been tried before and it was a huge failure full of danger, destruction, and misery.

Wild Cards of the Universe: 1934 Eclipses Repeat in 2024 w/ Disruptive 'Change of Course' Vibes

Now it's true that the third of three Great American Eclipses to split the country (Southwest to Northeast this time) perfects on April 8, 2024 @19Ari24 conjunct Wounded Healer Chiron (also @19:24); Chiron-Eclipse = grand schemes; "patriotism") in the 8 North series, but 8 North is not the Prenatal Solar Eclipse series in which Election 2024 falls (an "AI Election," some say--beware 'deep fakes' and even more deception than usual), nor is 8 North the PE of Inauguration 2025.

For both events, that would be 8 South occurring October 2, 2024 @10Lib06:48. Then after 6 months of the "dreams, visions, flashes of genius" vibes of 8 North fade comes the more difficult 8 South series with themes of 'loss, separation, partings', and a potential for 'physical injuries and/or overstrain' (paraphrasing B. Brady). Mind how you go.

So below is the 8 South Eclipse Horoscope set for Washington DC October 2, 2024; if you enlarge to read my study notes you'll find positivity but also some difficult indications, even a few cosmic time links such as Trump's Secondary Progressed Moon ('SP') on Election Day 2024 (Nov 5th) clocking in @9Sco29--conjunct the Midheaven ('MC' = The Goal) of the 8 South Eclipse chart, but also conjunct the Moon's position in the Inauguration 2017 Horoscope. I kid you not!

9 Scorpio+ rounded-up to "10 Scorpio": "A Fellowship Supper Reawakens Unforgettable Ties": 'FRATERNITY"; negative expression: "surrender of individual distinction and exaltation of naive animality" (Jones). However, the "fraternity" may not be the pro-society kind, more like the hooded kind. Yet as we know, forewarned is forearmed:

For an unmarked 8 South DC Horoscope suitable for printing, try this.

Now since a coup-worthy authoritarian take-over of government is once again the plan these days, I tend to look back to eclipse series which manifested in the 1930s or 1940s, and 8 North and 8 South do not disappoint. 8 North: February 14th, 1934 @25Aquarius; 8 South: August 10th @17Leo (pride comes before a fall, Leo).

A glance at a list of 1934 Events reflects the authoritarian energies of the two visions-then-loss eclipses and provides clues as to the influences that 8 North and 8 South may bring to society in 2024. As we might surmise, most of the upheavals and reforms of 1934 were triggered by fascist and Nazi barbarians--as they are now and will be for some time to come. One prominent cosmic factor back then is that 1934 was another grim year of suffering under a harsh Uranus-Pluto square of fanaticism, zealotry, anarchy, and forcefully pushing through extremist reforms.

p>Nowadays, we're dealing with the stuff of nightmares: barbaric saboteurs, Herr Trump acting as their figurehead, and issues of revenge and violence--his "American carnage". In other words, barbarism and animalism of the destructive spirit unleashed upon the Earth.

So for comparison, 1934 examples of events include: January 30th: Nazis abolish the political power of Germany's federal states via the Law on the Reconstruction of the Reich (Trump-GOP's PROJECT 2025 echoes similar actions against US states after Inauguration 2025--I typed it before and I'll do so again: 'MAGA" = Make America Germany Again); May 17th: The "May Constitution of 1934" announces the beginning of the Austrofascist Federal State of Austria"; June 30th--July 2nd: "Night of the Long Knives" in Germany, a violent Nazi purge (what Trump wants to do: purge all those are are against him--and he promises he will via PROJECT 2025); August 2nd: AH becomes 'Fuhrer' of Germany after the death of President Hindenburg; August 19th: in the 1934 German referendum, 90% of the population is said to have approved AH's assumption of powers; in September both the Soviet Union and Afghanistan join the League of Nations, the forerunner of the United Nations.

Then at the IC (Foundation) of the 8 South Horoscope lurk two midpoints: Jupiter-Neptune (fortune-hunters; spendthrifts; speculators; religious charlatans; losses; political conflicts--R. Ebertin), and Chiron-Uranus. In fact, many moons ago I wrote a SO'W post describing Chiron-Uranus Types in Government which you may find useful.

So in summation, if the American people prefer democracy as their form of government rather than a dystopian authoritarian dictatorship run by psychotic zealots and violent extremists with barbaric Fascist-Nazi leanings, We the People must stand up, be counted, Vote Blue in 2024 in massive numbers (too big to fudge the results!), ignore third party candidates who split the democratic vote on Trump's behalf--and do anything else that firmly rebuffs the GOP and their PROJECT 2025 plot to destroy America.

Because our and our children's futures depend upon a democratic victory in November 2024, no matter the GOP's tricks and tactics.
