August 2023: Social Security Turns 88 yo w/ a Saturn Return in 2024
by Jude Cowell
As shown in the video, below, to relieve poverty of the aged President Franklin D. Roosevelt signed the Social Security Act on August 14, 1935 under the auspices of a 9 New South Eclipse. So first, here's an excerpt from a 2022 post that celebrated the Act's 87th birthday detailing the themes and influences of 9 New South Eclipses:
Bringing to the surface long-term worries about loved ones, health, or issues to do with paperwork or communications; this could manifest as a worrying piece of news about a loved one or responsibilities with paperwork coming home to roost; any news will have a sense of fatedness or destiny attached (paraphrasing B. Brady).
And here's FDR signing up Americans to contribute to the greatest social safety net program We the People have ever known--the one that Republicans want to take away:
The Social Security Safety Net's Planetary Pair: the Ilness Axis
That would be the Saturn-Neptune duo so a previous post of horoscopes showing the current cycle of the two planets's conjunction/s in 1989 (three times from 10--12 Capricorn), with the cycle ending and the next beginning on February 20, 2026 Conjunct the Aries Point. Obviously, the fact that the one-time Conjunction in early 2026 lands upon the primary Cardinal World Point of manifestation and global events (00Aries) grabs our attention, especially those of us who continue to use America's July 4, 1776 Horoscope with Aries Point conjunct IC, the Foundation of the Matter. Yes, Endings may be involved, too, and we should take into account what Reinhold Ebertin gives for Saturn-Neptune = the first point of Aries: Hysteria. Yes, neuroses and undermining circumstances that lead to illness are also suggested and may come with the chaos if Republicans manage to destroy our Social Security program thus tearing apart the social fabric of American society.
And yet there's a bright note in the current Saturn-Neptune horoscope (March 3, 1989) for 'higher power' Pluto @15Scorpio, the Point of Regeneration, sextiles the conjunction and indicates that a defense from victimization may be found in the law with researchers and journalists having important roles to play in the 'rescue' of Social Security.
