Mike Johnson: 'MAGA' House Speaker

by Jude Cowell, partisan for democracy

Below you see a quickly marked-up bi-wheel of the noon horoscope of Mike Johnson (R-LA; b. Jan 30, 1972 Shreveport, LA) who was elected today as Speaker of the House for the 118th Congress. Mr. Johnson is a major MAGA seditionist - an election denier and anti-abortion autocrat - so there's no telling what damage he'll do to our country and people.

As you see, the most prominent planetary transit is Pluto conjunct his natal Mercury, a power aspect denoting an increase of personal power and control, intense ideas, and altered methods:

Of note is Rep. Johnson's Prenatal Solar Eclipse ('PE") in the 10 North Saros Series @25Cap24 with themes of 'frustration or inhibition through news, paperwork, or a young person' (B. Brady). Obviously transit Pluto has recently added its power and transformative energy to his PE which suggests a time of "gang wars" and "criminal offenses" (R. Lineman). Tellingly, Pluto's conjunction to 1972's 10 North Eclipse @25Capricorn was exact in 2020 and 2021.

George Washington's Ancient Family Ties

George Washington; Gilbert Stuart, Public domain, via Wikimedia Commons

Origins of the Washington Family, plus, the Stricklands

by Jude Cowell

The Washington family's Coat of Arms was adopted by an ancestor of our country's first president named William de Wassington and you've most likely perused the Wikipedia page of the Washington Family so you know that George Washington's great-grandfather John Washington (1633--1677) was first of the family to reach the shores of Colonial Virginia in 1657 after surviving a shipwreck.

So as an armchair genealogist, naturally I wanted to check the geni dot com website to see if I have a direct or an in-law family connection to first President George Washington - both as it turns out for President Washington is my 9th cousin 8 times removed. So we may as well face it: said to be sterile from an early case of smallpox, The Father of Our Country may be your cousin, too!

Now on geni dot com, I couldn't resist following George Washington' paternal line back to his ancestor Robert de Washington, Sr who married one of my Strickland family members, Joan, daughter of Sir William Strickland, Knt, and Elizabeth d'Eyncourt (circa 1240 - circa 1273: my 21st great-grandparents). Elizabeth was the only heir of her father, Sir Ralph d'Eyncourt, also a Knight. Sir Ralph is my 22nd great-grandfather, as I'm told.

Then if memory serves via my past research forays into the ancient, misty past concerning my too-ancient-DNA-to-affect-me-now indications, Sir William's is the marriage into the d'Eyncourt family that brought Sizergh Castle (Manor, really) into the Strickland family where folks may visit the 12th-century structure and stroll its beautiful gardens, if they wish!

Of course, nowadays, Sizergh Castle and Gardens are under care of Britain's National Trust, Grade I listed, so perhaps let's close this post with a link to an 8-minute video tour plus history of the stately home as an enticement for a dear reader such as yourself!

A Previous Post regarding the The Death Horoscope of George Washington may be of interest, and by the way: with transit Pluto @29Capricorn right now, the primal planet of power, wealth, and stealth, sits upon the natal Midheaven of George Washington, while conjuncting the natal Mars of yours truly as I type this post which has involved a measure of research into a more primal period of family origins. So there ya go, dear reader!

Right-Wing calls for Civil War grow louder

Recently seditious right-wing calls for another Civil War have been re-spotlighted during the current trial of J6 militia leader Stewart Rhodes who calls himself a patriot. In fact, he and his comrades are using his trial for the purpose of promoting the seditious idea.

So perhaps you remember that it was not so long ago we discussed such topics with a display of the 1861 Civil War Horoscope surrounded by transits emphasizing Neptune in Pisces conjunct the 1861 War's Ascendant (the War itself) with the deceptive Mercury-Neptune conjunction rising. Note that Mercury-Neptune with more Neptune = "added dreaminess to thinking and reasoning; contriving ideas and solutions--" (M. Munkasey).

And of course, Herr Trump, cult leader of Mr. Rhodes, would be lost if he couldn't constantly express and use his deceptive, gossip-loving, propagandizing, loose-lipped Mercury-Neptune square which resonates all too well with the 1861 War's Mercury-Neptune = ASC of exploitation.

Pluto in Capricorn: Ready For His Close-Up

So politically speaking, underneath it all the Republican Party's Neptune in Pisces (1854) is being masterfully used for its abilities to deceive, confuse, disguise, cloud, erode, undermine, gaslight, and sabotage what originally is America's Neptune in fact-based Virgo of 1776, and this opposition times a karmic, titanic transit of ideological and generational clashes, along with persecutions of various kinds including those fueled by racism and misogyny. And to make matters more complex and unstable, our Neptunian problems are occurring in tandem with America's first-ever Pluto Return/s ('Mr. Hades' shown above) occurring all through 2022 - and with a worldwide authoritarian political movement recognizing current conditions as a huge opportunity to overwhelm democracy and freedom - long-planned.

Same with the predicted global recession made worse by Fed head Jerome Powell's overdone interest rate increases. Instituting a windfall profits tax in the US would help economic matters but will Republicans agree? Since GOP-ers want societal conditions to worsen to weaken Democrats before the 2022 Midterms, of course not. The US could also freeze oil prices - but one glitch: which politicians hold oil and gas shares in their stock portfolios?

Meanwhile, a wider view shows that such negative societal conditions are being promoted, supported, and funded by the global totalitarianism movement (which tends to rise when the Earth heats up), and unfortunately America's power position in the world has been eroded while we watched.

No wonder America right now is like a kitten tangled in sinister string! My suspicion is that calls for world government will soon grow louder, too, with the nation-state concept thrown under the proverbial bus. Listen for it! And if you can, keep tabs on the transiting positions of Juno, the nation-state asteroid, and Ceres, asteroid of democracy.

Because, sad to say, the world is going to miss America when she's gone.

Tri-Wheel: America's Pluto Returns 2022

Our Cosmic Weather As Pluto Creeps Back Around

by Jude Cowell

First off, you may want to watch the Kepler Webinar presented by expert astrologer Gary Lorentzen concerning America's Powell Horoscope of July 1, 1776 if you've so far missed it. This US chart is set for 7:09 pm LMT Philadelphia, PA, the recorded time of the first majority vote for independence, a most significant moment in the founding of our nation.

Now previously on SO'W you may have run across posts concerning America's first-ever Pluto Return/s using one of our nation's several possible (and disputed!) July 4, 1776 horoscopes. But today I'm using the US Powell Horoscope with 1st house Pluto @27Cap37:05, a slightly different position than held by powerful Pluto in the July 4th charts.

Now a tri-wheel of all three Pluto Returns (set for Philadelphia since the Return planets and house cusps resonate more closely with the July 1, 1776 7:09 pm chart) but I'm posting a tri-wheel so that all three dates and times are displayed in case a curious reader wants to set up any or all of them. The Returns may also be relocated to Washington DC which makes very little difference with house cusps except for the December 30th charts which switch Ascendants from late Aries to early Taurus; no planets change house positions with either location:

Please enlarge or print the image for better viewing!

As you see, a few notes are penned on including the applicable Solar Eclipses. Return 1 fell under the auspices of the 5 New South Eclipse (in 2nd house, not highlighted in red) of December 4, 2021 @12Sag22 with its themes of 'benefits' and 'good news'. Return 2 in July came within the influence of the 6 North Solar Eclipse that perfected on April 20, 2022 @10Tau28 with themes of 'relationship to authority figures; accepting commitments' - in Taurus, this one has ruffled the actions of disruptive, chaotic Uranus in Taurus (the rebel and zealot) and through earthy Taurus involves finances, development, and environmental issues such as weather disasters.

Return 3 comes under the sway of the 6 South Solar Eclipse of October 25, 2022 @2Sco00 conjunct Venus (vicious when scorned). Themes include 'being forceful, taking power, manic energy and strength especially in group endeavors; sudden events.' (Paraphrasing B. Brady's Predictgive Astrology #ad).

As noted on the tri-wheel (lower left corner), 6 South is the Saros Series of the 'Nazis Rise to Power' Eclipse of August 31, 1932 @8Virgo, and the 6 South repetition on October 25, 2022 @2Scorpio makes it the solar eclipse influencing our 2022 Midterms - elections which are all about taking power, as 6 South eclipse themes support. Unfortunately, as in 1932, cheating, deception, baldfaced lies, and barbaric threats could manage to alter and disrupt what should be our election outcomes which is why only a massive Blue Tsunami turnout of women and Millennial voters will save our democracy on November 8, 2022. The barbarians cannot take the field, my friends!

Cosmic Weather: February, July, December 2022 into 2023 and Beyond

Now here are brief notes concerning the Sun-Moon blends for each US Pluto Return, some of which may sound familiar - for me, the third blend's Images stand out due to the anti-democratic barbarians, seditionists, and financiers currently bedeviling America, so hate-filled and desperate to ruin everything as they are, and ruthlessly determined to seize power:

1. Sun Pisces-Moon Scorpio (double Water: subjectivism; emotionalism): "The agony and the ecstasy"; strong in adversity; complex emotions; weakness for sensationalism; gaining power through manipulation; Images for Integration: "Steinbeck's The Grapes of Wrath; Longfellow's poem The Secret of the Sea."

2. Sun Cancer-Moon Scorpio (double Water again): secretive, perceptive, self-centered; unafraid of the dark; undaunted by the truth; moody and magnetic; Images for Integration: "Under a full Moon an exorcist performs a life-giving ritual; the possession fades away and a child's life is saved...Whilst preparing his genealogical tree, a young man discovers the lost grave of his great-great-grandmother."

3. Sun Capricorn-Moon Aries (Earth-Fire: volcanoes and bulldozers): "I don't want a lawyer to tell me what I cannot do; I hire him to tell me how to do what I want to do," - J.P. Morgan, Sr; Willful; magnetic; action-oriented; intensely ambitious; rebellious; larger-than-life goals; shrewd and successful but emotionally bankrupt; the zealous entrepreneur; overly materialistic; Images for Integration: "A Roman city-state is attacked by barbarians but its solid walls keep the marauding bandits at bay...An impetuous entrepreneur persuades a conservative banker to back an ambitious project."

DC Horoscope: Pluto Stations Oct 8, 2022

by Jude Cowell

Here's a quick posting of a DC Horoscope showing Pluto's Station @26Cap06 the moment that wealthy Mr. Subversive, the puppet master, pauses (as viewed from Earth) and begins moving forward. Zodiacally, transit Pluto has been creeping through old territory since turning retrograde in late April 2022 @28Cap35; as you see, many study notes are penned upon the chart including Pluto's rounded-up Sabian Symbol spotlighted by his Station: "A Mountain Pilgrimage" with its negative expressions of "superficial allegiances" and "false virtue."

Then as you see in Washington DC, Pluto Stations in 11th house, a position suggesting 'powerful political groups and organizations' but can also hint at the loss of a group member; also note that star of misfortune, Scheat, rises with two midpoints: fantasy-prone Moon-Neptune of mass delusion, and the grand-spirit, speculative, bubbly pair of Jupiter-Neptune, a duo that often can include religious ideals (fake or genuine). Then as you see, the Sabian Symbol in The Goal position (MC) of the chart is, "The Pope Blessing the Faithful". And note that these planets form a Seesaw pattern of pros vs cons (progressives vs conservatives) suggesting that tiresome political quarrels continue while the needs of the populace languish:

Worth a mention is the Mars-Pluto inconjunction indicating potentials for obsessive agendas and scorched earth competition, aka, cutthroat competition (Pluto, the assassin?). This inconjunction (quincunx) echoes America's 1776 Mars-Pluto relationship from Gemini to Capricorn along with a second cosmic echo: a foggy Mars-Neptune square of misdirected energy and misguided actions (see bottom right corner). Now not everyone will suffer under or use such difficult energies against humanity but we're talking Politics here so you know the ones who probably will.

Then for society in general, there's another highly significant factor - that rising Neptune Rx @23Pis26 continues to oppose US 1776 Neptune in the more fact-based sign of Virgo which describes major ideological clashes, some of a generational nature, plus, persecutions in the realms of civil and human rights, rascism included. And as you know, astrological Pluto (the dragon and The Pope) never minds benefiting from a heaping load of exploitation, you know. Money laundering, theft, and protecting his hidden wealth are his jams.

That this Neptunian transit of opposition proceeds in 2022, the year of America's first-ever Pluto Return, only adds to the complexities of conditions now operative in US society and makes clear that larger forces erode many of our institutions, systems, laws and traditions. Karmic in nature, these planetary transits show that the time has come for America to alter what needs altering but most of us hope for improvements, not dissolution! And we could have made such alterations without interference from bad faith meddlers, but this wasn't their plan.

And so these active Neptunian and Plutonian energies describe what I continue to assert are being purposefully taken advantage of by foreign and domestic saboteurs, working as agents of a global criminal network of mobsters and thugs, many of whom are, or are aligned with, international financiers and corporatists (a lucrative business arrangement for conscience-free opportunists, no doubt). In fact, the Neptune-Pluto duo of organized crime and misogynist paternalism is having its underhanded way just now, and America has congressional Democrats to deal with this global authoritarian movement raising its brutal head once again from the 1930s. To me this means that criticizing Democrats, well meaning as it may be, tends to undermine their efforts on our behalf and gives energy and support to America's enemies - my personal view but naturally you have yours.

October 9th a Full Moon @16Ari33, then a Solar Eclipse

Additionally, a major cosmic event arrives a mere 17 days after Pluto's Station, the October 25, 2022 Solar Eclipse @2Scorpio in the difficult 6 South Saros Series which I've labeled, A House Raising mainly due to its political implications, plus, it is the Prenatal Eclipse of Midterms 2022 (the very day of a Taurus Lunar Eclipse conjunct radical Uranus, planet of chaos). And to me it seems that the 6 South Solar Eclipse occurs close enough to Pluto's Station to have some measure of disruptive 'wild card' influence in relation to the horoscope you see, above (in 7th house).

So unless you, dear reader, are an out-and-out fascist with neo-nazi leanings (or vice versa), remember to Vote Blue in 2022 - and in 2024.

Because our democracy, our freedoms, and our lives literally depend upon it.

June 2022 Full Moon stirs loser's 2020 Solar Eclipse

DC Horoscopes: 4 South Solar Eclipse (inner) @23Sag08 which manifested on the day of the 2020 Electoral College Vote (for Joe Biden, not loser Tr*mp) surrounded by the June 14, 2022 Full Moon @23Sag35, a culmination of sorts uncovering revelations or secrets in relation to the 2020 Electoral College Vote that spurred Trump's promotion and use of 'The Big Lie' tactic. This Full-Moon-to-New-Moon synchronicity suggests major potentials for information revealed or leaked, most likely during the House's series of public hearings concerning Trump's J6 coup attempt. As you know, the J6 public hearings are scheduled to open on June 9, 2022 with the 'Flag Day' Full Moon perfecting 5 days later.

Now perhaps you'll lament it, but lots of my study notes are squooshed upon the bi-wheel charts for the curious, plus, a few notes are added to the text below the image. You'll note that the shared emphasis on the rounded-up degree of the 2020 4 South Eclipse and the June 2022 Full Moon seems significant for current events on Capitol Hill as Trump's loss on December 14, 2020 is 'reflected' upon, discussed, and probed:

"24 Sagittarius" = "A Bluebird Standing At The Door of The House" ("Keyword: FORTUNE" - M. E. Jones):

As you see, a major transit is in progress by creepy, subversive, wealth-hoarder Pluto Rx @28Cap08 while committing America's first-ever Pluto Return/s all through year 2022. 2022 Pluto conjoins 2020 Jupiter denoting that greater power and influence in the realms of politics, finance, and religion are being sought - but total honesty is required for best results. Meanwhile, potentials exist for intolerance and fanaticism to increase especailly with the ongoing Neptune-opposing-US-Neptune transit of racial and other persecutions (now it's Women!) along with the generational clash of ideals we're experiencing across the Virgo-Pisces axis.

Then transit Pluto taps 2020 Saturn (and is already within orb of the tapping, actually) which marks a period when past actions are regretted and need correcting, and abuse of power issues must be confronted or they'll only worsen. This sounds like a job for the J6 hearings to me.

Now you may be wondering why no mention of June 14th as Herr T's birthday. Well, a Full Moon in a Solar Return chart can indicate fortunate endings and new starts for that particular year. However, Herr T's Solar Return 2022 actually perfects on June 13th at 7:26:15 pm edt with the SR Moon @15Sag34 in the Balsamic phase of Endings perhaps by tying up loose ends. "16 Sag" = "Sea Gulls Watching a Ship" and this word picture seems quite appropriate to me when it comes to the lunar masses and the media watching the orange blighter's every move - which way will the ole tugboat list? However, this discrepancy is a cosmic quirk and may not dampen the Full Moon's influence overmuch, while emphasizing the squares from deceptive Neptune which possibly undermine his vitality, affect his health, yet seem to inspire him to promote self-dealing lies and fraudulent schemes.

Yet it's the aspects to his natal Sun that gain prominence in his Solar Return 2022 chart, and there are two: transit Neptune continues to square his Sun-Moon opposition (wavering alliances; leadership, integrity, and honesty questioned; a sense of unreality attached to his image; domestic troubles; health issues, as noted), and a helpful trine from authoritative Saturn supplying donations, legal and other counsel, and support to keep him at the head of the GOP (the 'Guns Over People' Party) while he raises large amounts of money by pretending he'll run again in 2024.

So as you know, America has everything riding on the outcomes of the J6 Select Committee's public hearings so my plan is to support them however I can while awaiting the legal involvement of the DOJ. How about you, dear reader?

US Pluto Return Feb 2022 with a Moon Return to 1/6/21

by Jude Cowell

January 1, 2022

Below is a DC Horoscope of America's first-ever Pluto Return (number one of three) all occurring in 2022 with their subsequent dates listed on the chart, top center. Also marked as you see, and highlighted in orange, is the 4th house Pluto Return Moon @21Lib56 which happens to time a Moon (Lunar) Return to the Mob Attack Moon position of January 6, 2021 (2:05:54 pm) The 1/6 Moon Return perfects a mere 37 seconds after the Pluto Return (2:05:17 pm est). To me this indicates that the same or nearly the same mob of malcontented insurrectionists and violence-minded Tr*mp acolytes are somehow involved with the indications of the US Pluto Return and these plutonian influences will activate them (the unjailed of them!) throughout 2022 into 2023. In fact, transit Pluto has been within a 5-degree orb of 27Cap33 since February 2019.

Now naturally, a consideration of US Pluto's cosmic condition on July 4, 1776 can be instructive since whatever contacts the planet of stealth, wealth, and power made back then are being repeated or reinforced by transit Pluto returning to his former position of 27Cap33:06 in the US Scorpio Rising Horoscope (ASC 8Sco47 at 2:22 pm LMT with Scorpio's Mars-Pluto influences - but of course use whatever version of the US Horoscope you prefer).

Natal Planetary Aspects of 1776 Pluto Are Echoing Loudly Into Our Era

In America's July 4, 1776 Horoscope there are two aspects to or from Pluto: Pluto opposite Mercury Rx @24Can15 (3S18 - separating, therefore unconscious especially since in 1776, Pluto was as yet undiscovered but I use outer planets in historical horoscopes anyway, not that you must - I just like the hidden quality of them along with their generational cycles).

Now you know that US Mercury's rounded-up Sabian Symbol for '25Cancer' is intriguing: "A Man Wrapped In An Invisible Mantle of Power" - and there's invisible Pluto (the powerful puppet master) interacting with the speedy planet of communications and commerce. Their opposition has always suggested to me control and manipulation from abroad but that topic would require a post all its own for another time. Meanwhile, their opposition denotes potentials for surveillance, mind control, secret activities such as spying and committing crimes, propaganda, suggestive oration, and/or complete control and manipulation of information (knowledge is power). Complete control and surveillance such as we have now. And perhaps you agree that withholding information has morphed into an art in US Politics.

Here we should add the Sabian Symbol for US Pluto: "28Capricorn": "A Large Aviary." Even more disturbing is that Pluto in Capricorn is known as 'the dictator' according to Reinhold Ebertin. Thing is, this concept must also be seen through 1776 eyes - which relates somewhat to the manipulation-from-abroad theme at America's founding. Or does it? Perhaps it's the mysterious voice from the balcony loudly asserting that, "God has given America to be free!" (But not if neo-fas*ists have their way.)

Now the second aspect to US Pluto of 1776 is a trine from Neptune in Virgo (5A08; from 7th to 9th house) indicating social institutions providing comfort and sustenance which easily conform to societal ideals - then, if not so much now. However, the trine is recurring via the Pluto Return chart of February 20, 2022 so within current society, positive responses to the spiritual, psychic, and/or mystical realms may be felt along with the awakening of the masses to those higher realms which may become more and more prevalent in society. My advice: studiously ignore the misuse of "awake" and "awakening" being propagandized by the far right for this is something they want to avoid - for it will reveal to more and more people in stark relief the GOP's hideous scars, warts, and devil horns. The Republican Party is much more of a hazy, cloudy Moon-Neptune endeavor which requires a lack of discernment, vagueness, and misguided perceptions in order to exist within our populace at all. Naturally, the GOP's continual use of 'gaslighting' the public comes to mind, and don't get me started on their financial scams, schemes, and hucksterism.

DC Horoscope: February 20, 2022 2:05:17 pm est Washington DC:

So! Above you see the first-ever Pluto Return Horoscope of America contains quite a few chart factors penned upon it such as chart-ruler Moon (at her February 2022 Lunar Return to her 'Mob Attack' position, you'll remember - and prominently leading a ruthless Locomotive shape of February planets, determined on success at any cost). In addition, Luna makes two applying aspects in the 2022 chart (how things will proceed):

1. An inconjunct with 9th house Neptune in mystical, secretive, contagious Pisces which suggests people who have trouble separating fantasy and illusion from reality and facts, those who tend to express the emotions of others (ex: grudge-holding Herr Tr*mp's hatred and venom toward those who stand in his way - so he schemes and plots his revenge), and folks for whom the acceptance of any obligation feels like an emotional trap because they're pressured into things by people with ulterior motives. And those manipulators drop them when they're no longer of any use. Major emotional adjustments are needed but how are the thoroughly confused and possibly drug-infused to manage?

2. Moon square Pluto (5A36). This aspect of internal blockage describes people (Moon) who express the baser emotions of humanity - envy, jealousy, hatred, vengeance, a zeal for violence, a propensity toward offended vanity - and who feel a desperate need to gain complete control of their environment. Of course, this obviously describes the Orange Herr from Mar-A-Lago as well as his followers and "shock troops" expressing - acting out - his negative emotions, as already noted. We saw them 'following his orders' on January 6th and can expect to see them at it again, for as many pundits admit, the Tr*mp 'coup' is ongoing. This we know and must prepare for.

Side Note: Unfortunately, priestly Chiron, the wounded healer, is unaspected in this chart so apparently can make no improvements or contacts with the other planets (actors), no grace, forgiveness, positive input, or repentance at all coming from his direction. However, on another level Chiron is at "11Aries" with the Sabian Symbol, "The President of the Country." And since Tr*mp is 'the POTUS' (in his own mind!) feeling deeply wounded, his ego and vanity scalded by rejection, Chiron here may represent him, simmering in his isolation and trying hard not to seem irrelevant. Yet his is a well-deserved exile in my book. Otherwise, if not the orange menace, Chiron could represent President Biden whose agenda intended to better the lot of the American people is being viciously blocked by underhanded Republicans determined to re-grasp power.

Then it's tragic with a Moon-Pluto square involved, how human beings tend to hold on to such base emotions and grudges until they are in the greatest need of purification, and particularly so in this case if any karmic progress is to be made at all in or by the US as a united country. Accepting input from our 1776 Neptune-Pluto trine would supply a path toward purification for all those who realize their need for it but unfortunately, the otherworldly planetary pair is more than ever being used for criminal acts by unscrupulous crooks and global mobsters who through decades have infiltrated our nation and our government (federal, state, and local). Even so, Tr*mp and his vicious thugs and malcontents of a neo-n*zi persuasion must be held accountable for their crimes yet this Child of the Revolution could be reasonably happy if they decided to permanently leave the continent and find themselves a new home where they can be just as fasc*st as they wanna be - while leaving decent folk alone.

Dear Readers: If things go well around here, a second Pluto Return post with astro-notes will be published concerning the July 11, 2022 Pluto Return (#2 of 3) which falls quite near the US Solar Return 2022 event when America will turn 246 years old.

On the Trail of powerful Pluto creeping into Aquarius

Primal Pluto at the Base of It All

by Jude Cowell

NASA image: Distant planet Pluto (soon to enter Tropical Aquarius)

Thursday September 30, 2021: As transit Pluto continues its stealthy slog through the last degrees of Capricorn reaching America's 1776 Pluto position (27Cap33) in 2022 - for the first time ever - few folk will lament the planet of power-grasping subversion bidding farewell to the governmental sign ruled by austere Saturn with the 'dictator' vibes (according to Reinhold Ebertin) of Pluto in Capricorn.

Meanwhile, in December 2020 here on Stars Over Washington, we considered what will be a momentous occasion when Pluto Enters Aquarius, the midpoint pictures that form, and powerful Pluto's affects on the December 2020 Jupiter-Saturn Conjunction, the planetary pair which ushered society into Year 2021 and which landed upon US Inaugural Sun.

Now as you know, the pair of Jupiter (expansion) and Saturn (restriction) relates in government to such matters as:

Checks and balances; changes in governmental religious, or social orders; repression based on morality instituted by law or religion; the serious side of law and justice; too many restrictions on the operation of justice; a judicial system at its breaking point; leniency and harshness vie for balance within the overall social and economic systems; and/or pessimism about the ability of the police to control lawbreakers' (Unleashing the Power of the Planets, Michael Munkasey #ad).

Now no one needs venerable Astrology to inform them of these multiple issues society now deals with - to the extent that they're being dealt with at all as the politicians of Washington DC squabble amongst themselves and perform for the cameras in lieu of actually serving the public by solving the problems our country faces. For most of us would agree that there's not one single item on the above list that is not being expressed in America (and elsewhere) these days and it's only the last quarter of 2021!

Once in Aquarius, we may expect Pluto to activate in society 'a strong communal sense; the urge to reform' (positively we hope!), but with the possibility that plans will be iffy due to 'overexaggeration' (R. Ebertin). Add to this the potential that astrological Pluto may on certain levels express positively through its regenerative and transformative functions - in Aquarius, the sign of humanitarianism. The world could use some of that!

So my thought with this post is that perhaps reading the midpoint pictures in the post linked, above, might aid our preparation as the 2022 Midterms and Election 2024 draw near - just to see and consider a few of the potentials we face as a people. Maybe, I don't know. But I do know that it's always better to be forewarned about a coming period of difficulty especially since we have eclipses waiting in the wings from those two simply hideous Solar Eclipse families and coming soon (in 2022 and 2023) for they were active in the 1930s when Herr Adolf grasped power and commandeered Germany into a nightmare of epic proportions. As they say, history rhymes and eclipse cycles track quite closely with historical cycles and events and often disrupt earthly affairs in a similar manner of electrical Uranus, planet of shocks and sudden events.

So I'm guessing that if you're reading SO'W you are already aware of the spirit of destruction moving across the globe and intending to take over the governments of the world. It's a global authoritarian movement, yes, but Americans fought and won against naz*s in the 1940s and as unpopular as the idea may be in 2021 and beyond, the time has come to fight them again in every way possible for the sake of Democracy and for future generations.

So let's close this fussy post with a question that political pundits and others are now so fond of asking, Are you in?

On a lighter note, my personal hope is that the 5 New South Solar Eclipse perfecting in December 2021 will bring welcome benefits on into 2022!

July 23, 2021 brings the Biden Presidency's first un-birthday!

July 14, 2021: On May 31, 2021 a post with dual DC Horoscopes was published here as DC Horoscopes: July 2021 Lunations showing the just-past New Moon of July 9th (18Can01) and the upcoming Full Moon of Friday July 23rd @00Leo26 which perfects at 10:36:45 pm edt.

Well! As the Cosmos would have it, July 23rd at 7:54:45 am edt happens to be the precise "un-birthday" moment of President Biden's Inauguration, aka, his Oath of Office taken on January 20, 2021. We all have them 6 months after our birthdays and if we apply its symbolic meaning to the Biden presidency we find that it times a brief period, perhaps only for a day, when one's course for the year should be reassessed and changes of direction made if necessary. Obviously, this 6-month period lasts until approximately January 20, 2022 - or actually until the exact moment of his presidency's Solar Return 2022.

So it may be interesting to see if around July 23rd and perhaps until the rest of July, any hint of such resconsideration or review is mentioned publicly by the President or by anyone in his administration such as Jen Psaki. Of course, they could prefer to keep such deliberations secret!

So astrologers may wish, if they haven't, to set up the July 23, 2021 un-birthday chart to use as a transit chart for commparison with the Inauguration 2021 Horoscope. If so, please feel free to let me know what you find by leaving an on-topic comment with this post. Thanks! jc

"If You're Not at the Table--" - Randi Rhodes

March 22, 2021:

This Monday morning post is a complete shout-out to the excellent progressive broadcasting of Randi Rhodes and if you've managed to miss the following segment of March 18, 2021 here is:

Jim Crow in a New Suit 3-18-21

As the lady says, "If you're not at the table you're on the menu." - Randi Rhodes

So Who Was Jim Crow?

And who is Randi Rhodes?

Born Randi Joyce Beuten on January 28, 1959 in Brooklyn, NY with natal Sun in early (progressive!) Aquarius, her natal Moon sign is either Virgo or Libra (ranging from 20Vir43 to 4Lib43). During the 24-hour period of her day of birth, orating Mercury the Messenger ranged from 26Cap05 to 27Cap40. With her commentary stingingly critical of politicians, I'll guess that hard working Randi's natal Moon could very well be in Mercury-ruled Virgo, sign of The Critic. Both Sun-Moon personality blends are cited, below.

And as you see, transit Pluto in late Capricorn is now upon her natal Mercury, a major transit that she and I are sharing (more intense self-expression, increased ability to recognize hidden meanings and motivations, etc). In her broadcasts Randi Rhodes often says outloud what I'm thinking!

Now let's mention two important oppositions in her natal chart (no birth time needed for these). The closest applying aspect to natal Sun is an opposition from progressive, futuristic Uranus Rx in Leo. This opposition is a marker for restlessness and independence, and identifies Randi Rhodes as a revolutionary. Unusual experiences are also part of her Sun-Uranus picture, and for obvious reasons, contact from Uranus increases the progressive, even quirky implications and brilliance of her Sun in Aquarius goals and personality traits.

Also notable is a second opposition between Mars in Taurus and Jupiter in Scorpio suggesting conflicts in the realms of religion, philosophy, and/or social and political matters. Financial conflicts may also be indicated (Taurus-Scorpio). That the planets are opposing one another helps bring these conflicts into public view and provides her with the objectivity needed to resolve conflicts due to having a wider perspective on the issues.

Randi Rhodes broadcasts weekdays from 3:00 pm - 5:00 pm ET through various outlets including YouTube so perhaps if you haven't, you'll tune in for the wider perspectives that Randi very clearly expresses. You won't be disappointed!

Two Possible Personality Blends for Randi Rhodes:

Air-Earth Sun AQ-Moon Virgo is a devoted researcher with an excellent mind and instinctive reactions to the environment. Kind-hearted and sincere, this blend is a gregarious loner who tends toward eccentricity yet is practical and altrusitic. Devoted to her ideals, critical analysis is a talent.

Double Air Sun AQ-Moon Libra is a highly idealistic, charming lover of truth, and an ideas person with a lively, far-reaching intellect. Humanitarian, reasonable, and broad-minded, this blend suggests dignity, tolerance, and sociability, however it is not very practical and may appear unapproachable, cerebral, and fickle while exhibiting social awareness and concern which promotes a brighter outlook for humanity.

6 South Solar Eclipse October 2022: A House-Raising

by Jude Cowell

February 14, 2021: Yes, this is one those posts I've wished not to write. Yet here it is on Valentine's Day 2021 for your consideration. (Apologies for the synchronicity but I'll be under the weather due to dental work this next week so Sunday blogging it must be.) The following post is another of my 'forewarned is forearmed' efforts and if this can make it a Valentine Card of my devotion to the common good most ably expressed by American principles, then good. At least we can say that no other country has done it better so far.

Therefore, in consideration of Senate Republicans letting anti-democracy provocateur Trump off-the-hook again yesterday for inciting insurrection, let's look forward at what appears to be a signpost of similar troubles ahead. Not that it's the only one, not that there aren't mitigating cosmic and earthly factors galore, but the following October 2022 Eclipse happens to manifest within the 6 South Saros Series, the same family in which the 'Nazis Rise to Power' Eclipse occurred in August 1932.

Plus, on a related topic, we recently discussed how transit Pluto in Capricorn ("the dictator" - Ebertin) is Creeping Around 'Nazi Rising' Eclipse Planets, a Pluto-to-Saturn affair made weightier and more significant by the recent occurrence of the January 12, 2020 Great Conjunction of Saturn and Pluto, a harsh, compressive pair when working together for karmic reform - whether we're consciously ready for change or not. That vicious political opportunists seize such a time as this (they use Astrology, too) to make their moves seems obvious to me if not to you, dear reader. Vicious, because 'any means necessary' includes the use of physical violence as on January 6th. And all this while America is within orb of her first-ever Pluto Return - with 3 exact conjunctions to 1776 Pluto all through 2022!

And so below you see a DC Horoscope of the 6 South Solar Eclipse of October 25, 2022 @2Sco00:06, warts and all. Hopefully you can read my study notes scribbled upon it and you'll not miss the fact that power-craving Pluto conjuncts the IC, the Foundation of the Matter and The How? Point of all horoscopes - here at the "A Mountain Pilgrimmage" degree which suggests America's Great Seal sporting an image of the "Pyramid of Power" and its 13 steps, shown above. (In symbolism, Pyramid = Mountain; the US Great Seal is based on the 1776 Illuminati Seal). Legend is, a switch from obverse to reverse of The Great Seal is intended to be a symbol of a great shift in consciousness which is now supported by the Great Conjunction (or Mutation from Earth to Air) of Jupiter and Saturn, the societal planets. Their December 2020 conjunction times 'new social, political, financial, and religious orders' in 20-year segments as part of their expansion vs restriction dynamics.

And what about the unfinished capstone with the All-Seeing Eye? Perhaps a turning will be timed by 2022's US Pluto Return/s. Or not. Either way, there's Pluto conjunct The How? Point ('IC') in the 6 South Eclipse Horoscope and the creepy karmic planet has had a long, arduous climb to the top of US Inauguration horoscopes, too. Also angular is the US Mercury-Pluto opposition of 'all-seeing' surveillance - here, Mercury conjunct 2022 Eclipse MC but at IC in our Inauguration charts with powerful Pluto at Midheaven. Yes, the American people have long been over a surveillance barrel, as you well know, made more draconian after the attacks of 9/11/01. Notice that archetypal Pluto is aka, 'The Dragon' (Draco).

Now at the top of the Eclipse Horoscope my scanner cut off these words: "MC = The Goal" which is the Sabian Symbol for "27Cancer": A Furious Storm Rages Through a Residential Canyon" - on one level a hint of more natural disasters to come which are also suggested by 6 South's initial eclipse (the first-ever in the series) with its Mars-Pluto opposition energies ('might makes right'; 'win at any cost'; 'violent storms') which will always be expressed within or carried by 6 South Solar Eclipses. Note that the 6 South Series began in watery Pisces in 1049, a year of Viking-Irish raids and the crowning of a new Pope. Obviously, political storms and military actions are also indicated.

Then in the 2022 eclipse chart, you see there's a Mars-Pluto inconjunct detailed, bottom right, from Gemini to Pisces (and Mars just past a US Mars Return which reiterates our nation's problematic Mars-Neptune square of misdirected motivations, actions, and 'the fog of war'). So that's two negative aspects between two malefic planets of brutality - karmic Pluto suggesting evolutionary trends and universal forces, and Mars acting on behalf of selfish personal desires for conquest and control:

Now I reluctantly assert that difficult contacts between Mars and Pluto, the opposition and the inconjunct, suggest a continuation of criminality, thievery, and violence already in motion as on January 6, 2021 when the Executive Branch of the US Government attacked the Legislative Branch - along with the validity of the US Constitution - and all but seven senate Republicans said, okee dokee with us, we're complicit with Herr Spanky, our cult leader. However, the fact that the inconjunct of 2022 occurs after the opposition of 1049 hints that corrective actions and adjustments can be successful but only after much effort and determination as we directly face the Mars-Pluto monsters that assail us. This must and will be done!

Also in the horoscope, along with a Mercury-Neptune inconjunct (details, upper right) we note that warrior Mars @25Gem25 in 9th house of Foreign Lands is out-of-bounds ('OOBs') of the Earthly plane - off doing who-knows-what, and needing adjustment (inconjunct) with the evolutionary forces of hidden manipulator Pluto, the saboteur. Plus, we should note that the Symbol for the October 2022 Eclipse ("3Scorpio") is "A House-Raising" which to me seems applicable to the Trump Mob Attack of January 6th, a type of assault which, common sense says, will now be emboldened to continue in the future. After all, Scorpio is the sign of the fight for survival and 'Mars-Pluto' rule and co-rule the sign's brooding intensity and power, with Scorpio's Eagle a symbol of America or is it the Phoenix and/or the Scorpion?. So as we know, with Trump's second acquittal yesterday, the zealous anarchists he acts as figurehead for believe they've won the skirmish and are busy regrouping to fight another day. Plus, this also means that Trumpers believe that the White House is up for grabs! It's a Trumpian fantasy emboldened by yesterday's acquittal! But we know that Scofflaw Trump Has Multiple Lawsuits Yet to Go.

And perhaps there is at least one saving grace for our nation which may appear in the form of Republicans who are not complicit with a fascist overthrow of the US government. Those such as renowned GOP attorney Ted Olson who lays out the case very clearly for those interested in hearing his argument on behalf of the United States of America.

Pluto is Creeping Around 'Nazi Rising' Eclipse planets!

February 12, 2021: A Forewarning: Transit Pluto Can Help Activate Nazism

by Jude Cowell

In one of my previous posts you'll see the 6 South 'Nazis Rise' Solar Eclipse of 1932 set for Berlin, Germany. Meanwhile, the world is again threatened by the rise of such draconian movements of authoritarianism so in view of recent and ongoing events in the US and across the globe, it seems significant that transit Pluto in Capricorn is already within orb of 1932 Saturn (28Cap55 Rx, 10th house in Berlin 1932). Therefore, tr Pluto (@25Cap34 today) has been activating the aspects made by 1932 Saturn in the eclipse chart:

Tr Pluto, planet of transformation and regeneration, recently opposed 1932 Pluto (Capricorn vs Cancer, as we've seen before) and remains within orb of squaring 1932 Uranus, zealous, fanatical, and Utopian when in Aries. Transit Pluto will exactly conjunct 1932 Saturn 3 times: 1. February 9, 2023; 2. July 30, 2023; 3. December 17, 2023 - for the first time ever. So the possible manifestations of this Pluto-to-Saturn transit applies now, through 2023, and into 2024. Of course, in the background of society there are other transits occurring as well, some heavy, some mitigating. But Pluto-Saturn contacts are the weightiest and suggest transformed or altered traditions and structures, current circumstances bringing restriction and limitations, the past affecting the present, ambition that may be 'off the charts' or roguish, and issues of abuse of power which will intenstify and must be dealt with (better sooner than later but tragically, currently sitting Republican senators appear not up to the task of taking an ethical stance and voting against white supremacist Trump which means that his take-over efforts will be emboldened, even strengthened). This adds to the danger suggested by the Nazis Rising Eclipse Horoscope - because history rhymes.

Karmic Planets Saturn, Uranus, Pluto Bring Generational Conflicts

In addition, current Pluto transits to the 1932 planets in the horoscope linked, above, include potentials for assaults from powerful entities upon political and economic structures, no-compromise struggles for control (ex: of the Oval Office), and restrictions upon resources that are necessary for government to function (a longheld Republican dream).

Now if you view the 1932 Eclipse Horoscope, you'll notice a prominent, motivating T-Square of much dynamism between Mars, Saturn, and Uranus (with the Mars-Saturn midpoint as the 'death axis' pointing toward erratic, disruptive Uranus) and this, according to Reinhold Ebertin, denotes 'sudden acts of violence', and Noel Tyl adds, 'breaking loose.'

DC Horoscope: The Burning of Washington DC 1814

January 8, 2021: Is History Doing Its Rhyming Thing Again?

After the storming of the US Capitol Building and Congress on January 6, 2021, it seems that some historical elements are repeating. This time the attack was instigated by the man currently in the role of POTUS and his MAGA shock troops carried out his plan, as Trump supporters participated and 'simply walked right in' to the Capitol Building, some looting offices and getting their proudly seditious mugs on video. At least one Confederate flag was recorded being proudly carried into the building while some officers of the Capitol Police force acted complicitly. Perhaps others cooperated as well.

Now as you know, the US Capitol Building has been assaulted and damaged before when British troops Burned Washington DC in 1814 during the War of 1812 in retaliation for similar American actions in Canada. Besides the Capitol Building, the to-burn list of Major General Robert Ross and his arsonists included the White House (then the 'Presidential Mansion'), the Navy Yard where warships were under construction, plus, other government and military buildings. The British had defeated our American soldiers at the Battle of Bladensburg earlier that day (at Bladensburg, MD 8.6 miles northeast of DC) and felt assured of continued success especially after their resounding defeat of Napoleon that year. For a variety of reasons, the City was ill-prepared for the breach as British troops 'simply marched right in' and burned our nation's capital. However, the damage to the City was repaired, the burning's existential effects didn't last, the US government continued meeting (in the spared Patent Building), and a Peace Treaty between America and Britain was declared four months later on December 18, 1814.

So for a Theme through History how about: Britain's "economic royalists" send troops in 1814 to attack Washington DC including the US Capitol Building, monarchist Trump and his "economic royalists" donors and corporatists attack America in 2021, and in between: the 1933 Fascist Plot Against America instigated by wealthy corporatists of the J.P. Morgan kind, the "economic royalists" of their day, and intended to destroy the New Deal programs and Presidency of Franklin D. Roosevelt, a compaign that continues to this day.

For more details here's a four-minute video on The Burning of Washington DC 1814. And for the astro-curious, below is the August 24, 1814 Horoscope of the Burning of Washington DC set for 6:00 pm LMT. You'll note Aquarius rising, plus, 12th house chart-ruler Saturn Rx @25Cap06 in the degree area of the Zodiac where so many cosmic activities (including transit Pluto in governmental Capricorn) have been playing out during the term of Herr Trump and where US Inauguration Midheaven clocks in at noon (est) on January 20, 2021, the day when the explosive, hot-headed Mars-Uranus Conjunction perfects (3:38 pm est @6Tau44) and Trump's "proud boys" and other violent militia groups and individuals have threatened to return to DC. My darkest suspicion is that arson may again be a factor and I pray that the Inaugural ceremony for Joe Biden, and the rest of the City, are adequately protected and defended - this time around:

The January 2021 New Moon and Trump's culpability

January 7, 2021: After yesterday's breach of the US Capitol Building instigated by Trump, multiple political pundits and others are now calling for remedies in order to remove a dangerous Trump from the White House such as Impeachment (this would prevent his ever running for office again), the 25th Amendment (due to his unfitness for office which has been the case all along), and possibly the Republican Party telling him to resign (not that he'd listen; but he could be pardoned by Pence, then abscond to a hidey hole). And with about 13 days to go until the Biden Inauguration, untold dangers lurk for America and for the American people, especially those Trump identifies as his enemies (by which he means 'mortal enemies'). The midpoint between yesterday's insurrection (1/6/21) and January 20, 2020 spotlights January 13th and the New Moon which manifests on that date (12:00:04 am est) and identifies a seeding time for a new cycle of activity as New Moons tend to do.

Now previously on SO'W we discussed a few factors concerning the Capricorn New Moon of January 13, 2021 conjunct powerful manipulator and hidden hand, the very wealthy Pluto. And as you know, prominent New Moons can disrupt lives and events in similar ways as a Solar Eclipse can do - for both share similar effects to the separative, awakening, erratic, unpredictable, shocking energies of astrological Uranus. Plus, eclipses are often known as 'cosmic blinks' and 'wild cards of the Universe' and they may uncover inconvenient secrets for those whose planets it touches.

Meanwhile, a New Moon also indicates that 3 days prior - the Dark of the Moon phase - is a period when things can go bump in the night and shady activities may run wild, undetected. And you know that the next Full Moon (January 28th @9Leo06) may shine a bright light on Dark of the Moon events, conditions, and thus create scandals.

Pertinent to the authority of Trump is the fact that the Capricorn New Moon @23Cap13 opposes his natal Saturn in the watery, tribalistic sign of Cancer and this describes Trump's "they did it, don't blame me" attitude concerning yesterday's seditious events which he himself incited. Yes, this is his general attitude yet only by taking responsibility for his actions and doing what he can to correct them will bring him karmic progress (and thus bring it to America - he won't do this but We The People and others must).

So today I'm posting the January 13, 2021 New Moon Horoscope for your consideration and invite your on-topic observations:

Question: can Trump's revenge yesterday against the US Congress and American voters be what finally triggers royal Regulus to exercise its caution against taking revenge - otherwise all that was gained will be taken away?

January 1, 2021: Senate Back in Session at Noon ET with Mars Rising: Happy New Year!

December 31, 2020

Unless something interferes overnight, on Friday January 1, 2021 at Noon ET, Senate debate over raising the relief amount from $600 to $2,000 continues with an Ascendant of 15Ari52 (ASC = the debate and other business during the session, if any). Obviously, contentious Mars @27Ari39 rises in first house followed by unpredictable Uranus Rx @6Tau47, the rebel planet's degree on Inauguration Day 2021 for the combustible Mars-Uranus conjunction (6:44).

So since my suspicion about the debate outcome is that we'll reap unhappy results via the Sabian Symbol for tomorrow's Mars degree at noon, here's my relic of an illustration for "28 Aries": "A Large Disappointed Audience":

And here's a generic bottle of champagne to wish you and yours a Happy New Year!

When Pluto conjuncts Inauguration 2021 Midheaven

Transit Pluto "Takes Charge" of Inauguration 2021's Midheaven 26Cap16

by Jude Cowell

With Reinold Ebertin's famous assessment of Pluto in Capricorn as, "the dictator," and with the Midheaven ('MC') angle of a horoscope denoting The Goal or Objective, we may wish to consider a few factors about the five conjunctions of transit Pluto to the MC of the Inauguration 2021 Horoscope. Of course, other potentials for Pluto in Saturn-ruled Capricorn are of interest as well: 'an untiring struggle for power and independence; the successful realization of new ideas, plans, and inventions; the acceptance of a dangerous position' (The Combination of Stellar Influences, R. Ebertin #ad).

Plus, astrological Pluto can play other roles as well such as transformative agent, regenerative energy, manipulator from afar, Underworld boss, politician, propagandist, suggestive orator, actor, psychologist, surgeon, wealth hoarder (the dragon guarding the riches), spy, thief, rapist, invisible force or power, Providence, the Pope - the list goes on.

And as you see below in the first Pluto-to-MC horoscope, lower left, set for March 11, 2021, Pluto @26Cap16 is unaspected, its energies isolated and hidden, and indicating someone overshadowed by shadows (B. Tierney). And that from the hidden 12th house of the Unconscious, Karma, and Secret Enemies. And while a weakened America is in the midst of a major downturn, this transit describes something transformative about the US presidency itself and our dire need for the administration to rebuild America's health, reputation, and fortunes, to whatever extent it can be done over the next few years. Biden promises rebuilding, Trump does not.

Meanwhhile, we should note that by the fifth of the Pluto-to-MC Conjunctions on November 3, 2022 (upper right), a Mars-Pluto inconjunction suggests that too much has had to be taken on resulting in an increase of financial stress, and a depletion of energy - adjustments are required and hopefully, the depletion won't relate negatively to nuclear energy concerns. Of course, the US military may be indicated with Mars-Pluto as well.

(Here I'm using powerful Pluto "taking charge" of the presidency to indicate a Biden-Harris administration with more of a status quo/CFR flavor rather than four more years of a Trump-as-Underworld-figurehead/racist-fascist fiasco. More will be known once the Biden-Trump stalemate is finally certified by Congress but even so there are radical, rebellious elements in society who consider themselves to have received a 'go-ahead' signal for upheaval and overthrow which can be seen in part by one societal factor listed, lower left, the Saturn-Uranus square with its 'lack of common sense', challenges to authority, and tendency toward violence. The planetary duo's old-vs-new square is part of the 45-year cycle of Saturn and Uranus which began with 3 conjunctions in 1988 @27-30Sag and won't end with a new conjunction @28Gem01 until year 2032.)

So! Here for your consideration are the first and last of the Pluto Conjunct Inauguration 2021 MC Horoscopes. Dates of numbers 2, 3, and 4 conjunctions are listed, right center:

As usual, your on-topic ponderings and Shares are much appreciated! As long as your name is attached. Jude

Can the US Constitution Handle Today's Problems?

Someone Has a Ready-Made Answer to This Disturbing Question

by Jude Cowell

In an article first published in The Nation, the US Constitution is deemed "incapable" of meeting the crises we now face. In American Democracy Was Never Supposed To Work we can read about Founding Fathers purposefully kneecapping democracy in order to protect wealthy plutocrats such as themselves, an idea heard often enough in recent years. It's a plan that continues to work against the common good to this day. Even so, amending the Constitution is a scary thought for who can be trusted to tinker once again under its venerable hood?

Meanwhile, we know that weaknesses in our political system make it necessary to institute more corrective measures than just removing a kicking-and-screaming Trump from the White House. However, certain operatives and saboteurs in and against the US have for years worked to undermine We The People's trust in government to such an extent that the Biden administration must find ways to regain such trust. No one thinks it will be easy. Everyone knows it's an imperative.

So now that years of undermining America have brought us to this chaotic pass, with a Constitution few have faith in and some are disloyal to, the Hegelian Dialectic scam - create a problem so you can offer the solution you were determined to implement all along - seems ready to be further foisted upon us as Americans are marched into a 'New Order' - well-timed by the Great Conjunction-Mutation of Jupiter and Saturn at Winter Solstice 2020, a 'new order' of major reforms and restrictions that the world is supposed to clamor for because nation-states can't handle such massive problems. However, it's the path to global authoritarianism so don't look too closely!

And so for your consideration, or re-consideration, here is the Horoscope of the US Constitution from a previous post (which is why the chart doesn't have the most current transits around it) and as you see, the current Capricorn heavyweights, plus, Saturn now moved into Aquarius as of December 17, 2020 (and Jupiter about to do so) are all in the behind-the-scenes 12th house of karma, self-undoing, and secret enemies. And Large Institutions such as the US Congress:

But Is It Better Than a Dictator Trump?

"Shove America toward fascism and the American people will turn and run toward whatever 'new order' the corporate global syndicate has in store."

-Jude Cowell

September 30, 2020 10:45 am edt


In Astrology (as used here on SO'W):

Cupido = Corporatism; The Family; The Syndicate.

Neptune-Pluto = Organized Crime; The Underworld; criminal enterprises; the supernatural; illusory tricks; plans for mutual destruction; mass medical or social care.

Uranus-Neptune: the 'new world order' duo; Utopian zealotry; subversive political movements; changes in political and social structures; groups formed to exploit oil or chemical resources; contacts with foreign countries; peculiar psychic states; strange inclinations; elimination of the waking consciousness; mysticism; inner illumination and enlightenment; idealism; wrong ideas.

After some years of build up, with Trump in 2017 came transit Pluto activating the 1993 Great Conjunction/s of Uranus and Neptune @18Capricorn and completing a midpoint picture that describes figurehead Trump's and his fellow saboteurs' imperative to collapse America:

1993 Uranus-Neptune = 2017 Pluto: "The big picture commands a certain course of action which must be followed; very little option to do otherwise" (Tyl).

And when you owe millions of dollars to foreign countries and dictators as does serial bankrupt asset Donald Trump, your choice to follow treasonous orders against America is really no choice at all.

'18 Capricorn' in Sabian Symbols:

"The Union Jack Flies From a British Warship: Keynote: The protection afforded to individuals and groups by powerful institutions in charge of maintaining order. POLITICAL POWER, its values and its dangers" (Rudhyar).

"The Union Jack: SUPERVISION; positive expression: the self's ever-widening spread of interest in its insatiable desire to leave some permanent imprint of itself on everything it touches; negative expression (unconscious; shadow side--jc): smug or strong-armed paternalism (Jones).

Hmmm. Looks as if America's 'Mother Country' might know more than she's telling about our current predicament. Or should we say The City of London, the financial district founded by the Romans?
