With purges of non-believers awaiting threatened implementation in the US, and the involvement of the Catholic Church a given (exs: Opus Dei; anti-abortion laws no matter who suffers or dies: the persecution of women and families), this post is a limited consideration of certain historical horoscopes for a daring reader such as yourself.
Re: 1478-1834-1929-2001-2019-2025
For hundreds of years, the Spanish Inquisition, requested by Catholic monarchs King Ferdinand II of Aragon and Isabella I, persecuted and tortured people in order to strengthen their hold on power. Begun under the auspices of an obsessive 3 North Solar Eclipse, the brutal activities of 1478 were intended to purge those who preferred their own religions rather than bowing down to the Pope in Rome once Pope Sixtus IV issued a papal bull giving authority to inquisitors who would commit the atrocities. (Actually, the first Spanish Inquisition tribunal became active in Seville in 1480, so follow the above link to read more on the topic, if you wish.)
Meanwhile, this post displays a dual image of the November 1, 1478 Horoscope (lower left) along with the official ending Horoscope of the Spanish Inquisition July 15, 1834 (upper right) for your consideration; the following charts are set for 12:00 pm Rome, Italy:
Below, a second image, a bi-wheel, displays the July 29, 1478 chart of the 3 North Solar Eclipse (@14Leo31; inner) surrounded by the Vatican City State Horoscope of June 7, 1929 (Campion #384; outer). As we see, there are planetary contacts between the events - what I tend to label "cosmic time links":
Significantly, the Vatican City State of 1929 was established under the influence of a May 9th 3 North Eclipse - @18Tau07. Eclipses in Taurus tend to emphasize bullheadedness and inflexibility along with the more negative traits of greed and intolerance (R. Lineman).
Planetary Contacts: 1929 to 1478
First up: 1929 Mars conjunct the 3 North Eclipse of 1478 (violent tendencies; headstrong impulses; rushing into activities without considering ultimate consequences or the karmic implications). We could even count 1929 Jupiter opposing 1478 Neptune for it identifies the brutal purging campaign of 1478 and beyond as a fantastic scheme of fanaticism and distortion of confidential information with a bizarre religious component. Sounds like maga politics circa now, doesn't it?
3 North: 1478-1929-2001 (and July 2019 @11Cancer)
Further information is found within 3 North's themes: obsessive energy; news that transforms a situation; young people may be involved; large plans are wanted but don't get carried away (paraphrasing B. Brady). Perhaps you recognize 3 North as 9/11/01's Eclipse Series when the Bush-Cheney regime got carried away and deceitfully led our country to invasion, war, and torture (ex: the notorious Abu Ghraib prison) - and theirs were misdirected energies that missed the mark! (a tendency of the US 1776 Mars-Neptune square: fog of war).
So with aggressive Mars in ego-prone Leo, the primary link between the events of 1478 and 2001 is torture which met with little more success in 2001 than in 1478. Yet a degradation of society, a lifting up of lies and deception, and an increase of fear and paranoia in society here and abroad were certainly outcomes to my way of thinking. In the US going into 2025, similar conditions will follow with the degradation of American society - and of the US Presidency and Government - their obvious goals - plus, the promised purging of non-believers via their authoritarian Project 2025 agenda. As you know, cult membership is demanded.
Another planetary contact is that Vatican City State's 1929 Jupiter @28Tau49 is basically a Jupiter Return to 1478 Jupiter, a time when rewards are expected as a new 12-year cycle begins - here Jupiter is in Taurus (the bull - like Ferdinand!), a sign of financial interests, greed, and grubbing for gains. The love of money is the root of all evil - and the 1478 Inquisition's Jupiter Return occurred on June 4, 1929 with two aspects to 1929 Jupiter: a Jupiter-Saturn inconjunct (rigid, legalistic, fearful of competition - A. Epstein), and a Moon-Jupiter trine (attaining higher knowledge; contentment; a ray of hope - A.E.)
In closing, we should also note the Vatican City State's Neptune @28Leo48 nearing 1478 Mercury Rx @00Vir32. This transit signifies potentials for deception, an inability to grasp reality, living in fantasy worlds, confusion, and strange or mysterious conditions.
Well, there's a look at ancient and future purges as We the People face threats of persecution, loss, and hardship, as the wealthy Mr. Musk describes it. So if you made it to the end of this dreary post, my Thanks! Yet our circumstances wouldn't seem nearly as dreary if a mobbed-up criminal weren't about to re-enter and re-soil the White House. You may not agree with this, but there it is. jc
