Here Thom Hartmann discusses a topic that few in media will mention although it was a big story when journalist Jamal Khashoggi was brutally murdered and disposed of during the Trump regime:
And for the curious, here's the 1902 Saudi Arabia Horoscope surrounded by the 2018 planets in transit when Jamal Khashoggi entered the embassy, never to come out again.
Warrior Mars Joins the Pair for a Menage a-Trois!
March 4, 2022
by Jude Cowell
Since a new cycle of Mars-Uranus began on Inauguration Day 2021, upticks of the pair's violent, reactionary, combustible energies can be tracked across the globe, including in the USA. And when the transiting North Node of public contact joins in, we may have even more cause to pay attention to the anti-societal activities of the Mars-Uranus duo, violent types who support authoritarianism over democracy.
One such cosmic signpost arrives on July 31, 2022 when by transit radical anarchist and zealot Uranus meets the Taurean North Node @18Tau41:17 at 4:05 pm edt, with warrior Mars @17Tau57 approaching for a threesome. Yet even by itself, the Uranus-North-Node duo denotes radical politics and revolutionary reforms, and meetings with those who share such political views. These folks are subject to being carried way by unexpected changes in society while giving little if any consideration to ultimate consequences; some will benefit from the sudden changes, perhaps through technological fields (Uranus), and with the conjunction in the 6th house, reforms or sudden shifts in service industries such as military, police, and other civil services may be on the menu, along with reforms in our medical and healthcare industries. Of course, with erratic Uranus involved, there are always chances of disuption and/or separations.
So for your consideration, here is a Horoscope of the moment on July 31, 2022 that Uranus and North Node conjunct, set for Washington DC as an astrological representative of America; chart factors are penned on the chart for those who wish to read them, including the trio's midpoint picture potentials which are more fully listed, below, and noting that, like all heavenly bodies, these cosmic energies become stronger as they move nearer and nearer, then come together in conjunction - here timed by the Head of the Dragon, the Moon's North Node:
Midpoint Picture Potentials of the Uranus-NN-Mars trio of July 31, 2022
Uranus-NN = Mars: 'tremendous energy; having an axe to grind and gaining support' (N. Tyl); 'disputes accompanied by violence; self-control is difficult' (R. Ebertin); 'strength to push ahead' (M. Munkasey).
Mars-Uranus = NN: 'hyperexcitability with others' (N.T.); 'execution of extraordinary and unusual enterprises' (R.E.); 'facing down all opposition; being active with others' (M.M.).
Mars-NN = Uranus: 'stirring people up; sudden events that affect many people' (N.T.); 'upsets in a community or an organization; sudden associations or events; active cooperation' (R.E.); 'sudden disruptions in meetings; disinterested presentations' (M.M.)
Now admittedly, it's been a while since I added a degree symbol from Adriano Carelli's The 360 Degrees of the Zodiac (#ad) to a post so, noting that Carelli does not round up, here's his symbol for '18 Taurus':
"Two furious bulls goring each other": "The native will easily fly off the handle and quickly work himself up to a climax of frenzied and bloodthirsty rage, even if his own peevish and quarrelsome temper has sown the seed of discord. According to his background and breeding, he can make a sabreur of a ruffian, and can reap the hatred of many, running the risk of wounds or death in duels or brawls."
Can you think of anyone who sows the seed of discord and is hated by many?
In closing, there's a significant cosmic time link to consider for it suggests that the violence-promoting, vindictive, peevish Trump Regime Can Be Identified by Mars-Uranus via a certain Solar Eclipse.
Note: paraphrasings of the trio's midpoint picture potentials are gleaned from three sources: Solar Arcs, Noel Tyl; The Combination of Stellar Influences, Reinhold Ebertin; Midpoints: Unleashing the Power of the Planets, Michael Munkasey. #ad
September 25, 2020: From the first Solar Eclipse of the Trump "administration" which occurred at 8Pisces12 on February 26, 2017 in the 19 South Saros Series, Trump and his comrades have identified and been identified with the violent, explosive, reactionary energies of the Mars-Uranus Conjunction which perfected @22Aries00 on that very day. The Solar Eclipse manifested at 9:58:19 am est on February 26, 2017, as you see in the eclipse horoscope shown below, and the Mars-Uranus Conjunction became exact at 7:19:20 pm that evening with 25Gem15 at Midheaven (the Goal Point) which is the degree of Trump's 2015 "Prez Bid" New Moon. Now you know that many political pundits have said that Trump was 'surprised' he won in 2016. Me? I'm no pundit but I'm not so certain considering all the help his nibs received from foreign saboteurs (see 9th house Pluto @18Capricorn and the wealthy manipulator's conjunction with 1993's Uranus-Neptune Conjunction degree = "the big picture must be followed--," lower left.)
The timing so soon after Inauguration 2017 imprints 19 South eclipse energies upon the "presidency" of Donald Trump through 19 South's primary theme of "a lucky win" or "break", plus, "a joyous event" (Brady). And along with these cosmic factors comes the Mars-Uranus Conjunction in Mars-ruled Aries. This post is inspired by the fact that another Mars-Uranus Conjunction occurs on Inauguration Day January 20, 2021 and it rises into the 12th house of Politics and Karma at noon, the hour that Trump's first term officially ends, as you know.
So perhaps we can agree that it would be suitable that freeloader Trump's White House residency began with Mars-Uranus in Aries and could end with Mars-Uranus in Taurus!
As for planetary conjunctions, you know that they begin a new cycle of the planetary energies involved and share 'new moon' status in the form of the seeding of new plans. Here, the reactionary plans for action and turmoil of Trump and comrades are identified since the early days of his regime and we may expect that an increase or peak of such violent energies will occur at or around the time of the Mars-Uranus Conjunction of January 20, 2021. Synchronistically, the 2021 conjunction perfects near the public's Inaugural Moon (00Tau55) which happens to be the position of the natal Moon of Joe Biden (00Tau59). Can this trio portend Mars-Uranus style violence toward (or by!) Mr. Biden? On some level, perhaps, and yet Mars-Uranus = Moon also shows high ambition and a 'desire to achieve something very big' (Ebertin).
Sounds good to me! Because the fighting spirit of the US military (Mars-Uranus) may join Mr. Biden and a majority of the American people by ejecting certain miscreants and saboteurs from the White House - whether the saboteurs like it or not.
So see what you think of the Trump regime's first Solar Eclipse in shady Pisces with deceptive Neptune nearby. As always, your on-topic comments and insights are welcome and appreciated but please note my new rule for SO'W: like unsolicited advertisements, No Comments by "Anonymous" readers will ever again be published.
And yes, I agree that too many study notes are squished upon the chart but I hope that those who wish to can and will read them!

August 4, 2020: Here's a segment from the August 3rd Thom Hartmann broadcast asking a very disturbing question that spotlights how un-American, outrageous, and psychotically divorced from reality the entire Trump regime really is and how desperate to avoid losing his position:
July 29, 2020: Yesterday on SO'W I typed aloud my dream that it could be Senator Kamala Harris who would question Trump's interference-running Attorney General Bill Barr during his testimony before Congress for Senator Harris is Barr's favorite interrogator, as you know. After all, it was Senator Harris' natal Pluto @15Virgo and Venus in Virgo (17:53) that peeked over the horizon on Capitol Hill as the congressional session opened at 9:30 am edt. Here's yesterday's DC Horoscope set for 9:30 am edt. Perhaps her powerful style of dealing with prevaricators was present in spirit!
However, with the testy proceedings occurring in the House not the Senate, lady Venus in the questioning sign of Gemini at apex of a YOD configuration and with a special task to perform at the appointed time turned out to be reflected by Rep. Pramila Jayapal which suited the situation just fine. Her characterization of Barr's actions concerning Black Lives Matter protesters (he's against them) vs Barr's coddling (my word) of armed right wing extremists who threatened to lynch a governor is based in reality unlike so much that spews out of fantasist Trump and his scofflaw regime which Barr was hired to protect like Trump's mentor Roy Cohn used to do back in the olden days.
So in case you missed it (and it's a doozy!), here's a clip of Pramila Jayapal questioning the very dodgy Bill Barr yesterday. Oh, and like Kamala Harris, she controls her time!

Astro-Notes: The Powell Memo and Corporations as 'People' Like Donald Trump
by Jude Cowell
The significance of the Powell Memo (or, Manifesto) cannot be overemphasized when pondering the ongoing assault on American institutions by corporate interests, transnational and domestic. It is not the first or only assault but one of many by wealthy elitists of the anti-Constitutional kind, those opposed to democracy and who plunder resources and wage wars across the globe and at home for their own profit.
Naturally, the term 'manifesto' must conjure for us the Communist Manifesto and the anti-worker doctrine of Marxism which has been shown to have been invented in order to destroy the Middle Class--invented though plagiarized by Karl Marx who was financed by the wealthy class of his day including his wife's family, the von Westphalens of the Prussian aristocracy.
So with no precise hour known, I'm finally getting around to publishing a 'noon' horoscope for The Powell Memo:
As you see, the Memorandum occurred within a 9 New South Saros Series with its Solar Eclipse ('PE') @27Leo15 which was activated on August 21, 2017 by The Great American Eclipse whose path of visibility split our nation in half. You'll remember that this is the Total eclipse that Donald Trump looked at 6 times without safety glasses--and its degree conjoined his natal Ascendant (29Leo) and by extension, his rising Mars (26Leo). Themes of the 1971 Solar Eclipse are messily penned upon the above chart along with the themes of the August 2017 Eclipse in the 1 North series, the 'Mother of All Eclipses' of Nostradamus fame (August 11, 1999 @18Leo).
So far, the Trump regime has fulfilled 1 North's themes extremely well: 'unexpected events' and 'information is distorted and possibly false'. Plus, we should note that the August 1999 eclipse will be activated by another Solar Eclipse this very year on August 11, 2018 @18Leo41 in the 2 New North series, the eclipse I have unhappily labeled The Tower Eclipse for its 'collapsing tower' and 'rebuilding' themes (Brady). This eclipse happens to be the Prenatal Eclipse of the 2018 Midterms.
Now as you know, history is often said to rhyme (if not repeat precisely) and it seems to me that the study of eclipses, solar and lunar, is one way of revealing 'time links' between years and the historical events that were influenced by the applicable eclipse themes. This does not discount whether or not a particular eclipse is visible in a certain location where an event takes place yet the significance and symbolism of eclipse degrees are my primary focus along with the themes of the series in which an eclipse falls. Of course, visible eclipses would have stronger influence upon events as would Total eclipses but degrees are sensitized by eclipses, stars, and other factors and remain so through centuries.
As for the Powell Memo horoscope itself, its lack of timing prevents a full consideration here although there are a few chart factors I wish to point out:
First, that Neptune, planet of fraud, corruption, propaganda, disguises, get-rich-quick-schemes (with nearby Jupiter), the (corporate-controlled) media and the masses, is @1Sag, a degree with a Sabian Symbol (penned on) well known for its link to the US military--in America's case, to the military industrial complex that's bleeding America's National Treasury dry at the expense of We The People.
Then @11Leo01 there's Cupido conjunct Midheaven (at noon) with keywords: Corporations, Organizations, and The Family which includes crime families, Chambers of Commerce, political parties, and religious cults.
Pluto-Chiron at Work
Another factor is the midpoint of Pluto-Chiron, the Plutocracy pair of oppression, exploitation, primal violence, racism, and other -isms such as Capitalism, Communism, Marxism, Bolshevikism, Fascism, Socialism, and Zionism, which conjoins US natal Jupiter (5Cancer56) with its enlightening Sabian Symbol for '6 Cancer': "Game Birds Feathering Their Nests." In the Powell Memo chart this would refer to Mr. Powell and his Chamber of Commerce co-conspirators and others of the corporate persuasion--and to America's Founding (plutocratic) Fathers of 1776 and our modern-day financial fanatics who exploit others at every opportunity and have pulled a major scam with their ridiculous assertion that "corporations are people, too" (codified by Citizens United 2010). In the same vein, SCOTUS Justice Neil Gorsuch wrote an opinion about two days ago siding with employers and corporations over US workers, so there, America. Scr*w you, say corporate elitists.
And for those of us who use a late afternoon founding chart for America (July 4, 1776), its Ascendant in the range of 11-13Sag was the spot in the Zodiac where Pluto and Chiron last met in conjunction December 1999--and helped usher in the dawning of the New Millennium under the auspices of the 'Mother of All Eclipses', the 1 North @18Leo which will soon be triggered in August 2018.
Donald Trump in the White House: the Corporate Tradition Carried On
And finally, let's close by noting that in 1971 the asteroid of ethics and strategy, Pallas @27Tau27 opposes 1971 Jupiter in corporate Scorpio while conjoining 1971 MIDAS (26:49) -- and greedy MIDAS happily sits upon the natal Midheaven (The Goal) of gold-lover Donald Trump (age 25 in 1971). And that's Trump's very visible MC where the nasty, malevolent star of violence, rage, and viciousness is found: Algol of Medusa's Head fame.
Now in case either of you need it, here's what some say is an apt description of the Trump regime by Dr. Lawrence Britt; this controversial definition is also known as The Britt List.Plus, every chance he gets Trump Is Using 'The Big Lie' Tactic Invented by Goebbels, a post which includes some Astrology and an interesting video.

Here is a fascinating segment from the March 28, 2018 Thom Hartmann broadcast which reaches back to what some believe were changes in Germany that parallel today's Trump regime make-over of the US government, what I think of as a slow-moving coup of democracy--slow so we won't notice or be certain it's happening until it's too late:
