Eclipse of The Crusades to the Holy Land

The Crusades (1095--1291): a 17 South Eclipse Affair

by Jude Cowell, partisan for the common good

Officially, the never-ending battle between Christianity and Islam began with the Council of Clermont held November 17--27, 1095. Of significance is the speech by Pope Urban II on November 27, 1095 with his "call to arms." Or as we might say or tweet in our day, things will be wild, which qualifies as Trump's "call to arms" against the peaceful transfer of power from his nibs to President Joe Biden. Forcefully taking control being the goal in 2021 and in 1095.

Then you may remember that some participants in the violent melee of January 6, 2021, instigated by insurrectionist Trump, said that fighting to defend the US Congress and Capitol Building that day felt "medieval." Obviously, similar destructive energies were at work, past and present, but can Astrology reveal a cosmic time link between America's current religious zealots attempting to forcefully change our secular government (separation of church and state: unlike the Vatican--see 'Roman Empire' link, below) into a fascist-adjacent theocracy under figurehead Donald Trump (or one of his ilk) - and the religious zealots of the 11th century?

17 South: 'success in groups and relationships; good news' -B. Brady

Why yes, it can! And it's the Solar Eclipse Series in which the Council of Clermont was held and Pope Urban II's "call to arms" speech of November 27, 1095 which resulted in what we call The Crusades: the 17 South Saros Series which manifested prior to the Council and Pope Urban's "call to arms" speech. The Eclipse occurred on September 1, 1095 @14Vir19. Fast-forward to today and 17 South's repetition occurred as the Spring Equinox 2015 Eclipse which brought the US and the world Trump's malevolent escalator prez bid announcement the morning of the June 16, 2015 New Moon, with his racist remarks intact (text).

So here are the horoscopes I'm using for this post: first the initial 17 South Eclipse @9Gem56 which carries energies of a rebellious Saturn-Uranus square bolstered by a violent Mars-Pluto square, and a delusional Venus-Neptune square; these multi-square energies are passed on to all subsequent 17 South eclipses despite its pleasant "good news" and "success" themes - when times and conditions support such difficult energies:

And here's a dual image showing the 17 South Eclipse of 1095 (lower left) and 2015 (upper right):

Meanwhile, current-day religious zealots such as House Speaker Maga Mike Johnson, Raphael Cruz (Ted's poppa), Maga Rep. Lauren Boebert, and Trump-supporter Pastor Paula White are part of 7 Mountain Dominionism a movement which seeks to take control of America in the areas of family, religion, education, media, entertainment, business, and government - what they term the "7 Spheres of Society." Biblical texts from Isaiah and the Book of Revelation are used to justify a mandate to take over the world, they think - and devil-may-care what it takes to bring on Armadgeddon (as if God works bwo their timetable!).

Thing is, this particular religious delusion began in 1975 with a vision from God which makes me wonder what vision they'll promote once the visionary and prophetic influences of the Great American Eclipse in the 8 North Saros Series manifests on April 8, 2024 @19Ari24 - conjunct priestly Chiron, the Christ archetype in Astrology - also @19Ari24. Plus, this position conjuncts America's Chiron of July 4, 1776 @20Ari08 = "21Aries: "A Pugilist Entering the Ring." It's all unsettlingly synchronicitous, isn't it?.

A Knights Templar Link to 2022

Then another cosmic time link exists bwo the Knights Templar founding's Prenatal Eclipse Series ('PE'), the 6 North which repeated on April 30, 2022 @10Taurus with themes of 'relationship to authority figures; accepting new commitments due to another's illness or unreliability' (paraphrasing B. Brady). Their 6 North of November 4, 1138 occurred @18Sco37 opposed by Pluto Rx @18Tau11 which suggests 'animalism, barbarism, and criminal offenses' (R. Lineman) so if you'd like to set up a horoscope of the Knights Templar's 6 North Eclipse, try 3:06:50 pm LMT, Rome, Italy, or set the chart for the Vatican, if you have those coordinates.

Now in closing, dear reader, perhaps we might agree that there's quite a significant thread of cosmic time links shown here by eclipse cycles and the historical cycles, conditions, and events that they rhyme with. And eclipses cycling around again on the karmic 18.6-year Nodal Axis gives humanity opportunities to better deal with events and conditions than before - if karmic progress is the goal.

The Eclipse of Fan-Boy Patrick Byrne

Reality and a Fantasy-Prone Seditionist

by Jude Cowell

As we see on his Wikipedia page, election denier, "Deep State" conspiracy theorist, former paramour of Russian agent Maria Butina, and former CEO of Overstock dot com Patrick Byrne, was born on November 29, 1962 with Sun and Mercury in early Sagittarius, and Moon in late Sagittarius, or more likely in business-and-government-oriented Capricorn.

From August 2019, see Overstock investors cheer after "too controversial" CEO Patrick Byrne resigns as CEO and board member. Apparently, Byrne's romance with Russian agent Maria Butina may have been the last straw for company investors--see a previous post Maria Butina's hearing on Capitol Hill showing the hearing's horoscope of December 12, 2018 with transit Saturn @9Capricorn conjunct her natal Neptune, the "grim face of reality" transit.

For as with 'everything Trump', reality vs fantasy plays the key role in cheating for success, aka, fraud. Astrologically, there's even a cosmic time link between Trump's Big Lie and The Eclipse of Fan-Boy Patrick Byrne, anti-democracy election denier and known promoter of conspiracy theories galore - a perfect co-conspirator for Trump.

For details on Mr. Byrne in the Oval Office that December night of sedition plotting, see Axios: Inside the craziest meeting of the Trump presidency.

And as reported in May 2023 by Sam Levine in The Guardian, Dominion is not done fighting 2020 elections lies via pending defamation cases against Rudy Guiliani, Sidney Powell, pillow guy Mike Lindell - and Patrick Byrne.

So above is a noon natal horoscope for the "mad king" who was present at the 6-hour Oval Office meeting with Trump, Mike Flynn, Sidney "Kraken" Powell, and others on the night of December 18, 2020 until after midnight of December 19th, after which came Trump's "will be wild" tweet (timestamped tweet's horoscope shown, his 2nd hou$e taboo-breaking Jupiter rising) which served as a call to arms and led to his January 6, 2021 coup attempt against the US Congress to stop or disrupt our tradition of the peaceful transfer of power. (Sore loser cries wahhhh!)

Here's the 2:15 pm Trump Coup Attempt Horoscope along with the 2021 seditionist insurrection's Solar Return of 2022. And check out the current J6 coup attempt's Solar Return 2023 Horoscope, as you wish.

Now as you see, Byrne's 19 North Prenatal Solar Eclipse ("PE") is penned on the above chart (conjunct the 'noon' Descendant) with themes of: "realism; coming down to earth; seeing an old situation for what it really is; tackling the truth" (paraphrasing B. Brady).

Where the cosmic time link comes in is the fact that an eclipse from Byrne's 19 North Eclipse Series occurred on September 1, 2016 (@9Virgo, opposed by deceptive Neptune @10Pisces) and operated as the PE of both Election 2016, and Inauguration 2017. That's fact-based Virgo opposed by deceptive Neptune, planet of mass media, in shady, confusing Pisces - and there's Herr Trump "tackling the truth" - with his 'Big Lie'.

Now it's 2023, another presidential election has been held (and lost!), and America's orange albatross is still trying to tackle the truth - out of existence! Perhaps we can agree that Trump's entire political "career" has been one long reality vs fantasy fiasco for the American people and for democracy. But that's what We the People get when a violent mobster, racketeer, money-launderer, and conman is shoehorned into the Oval Office with a little help from his comrades, and gullible voters. Plus, the words, blackmail and bribery easily spring to mind along with favors and pay-offs.

Byrne's Solar Eclipse in Royal Leo (chart not shown)

So let's return to our consideration of Patrick Byrne's PE which links him right in with Trump's underhanded activities. For Byrne, his 19 North manifested on July 31, 1962 @7Leo48 (rounded-up to "8Leo" = "A Bolshevik Propagandist'). Note that with a solar eclipse in Leo (his Mars sign), one must avoid pride and arrogance for karmic progress to be made. And on July 31, 1962, restrictive Saturn Rx @9Aquarius opposed his natal PE which suggests a man who refuses to face up to his karmic obligations, and places blame for his problems upon others; to correct problems reality must be faced and corrections honestly made. Oops. Funny how this sounds a lot like Patrick's idol, Trump.

In addition, often-deceptive Neptune @10Scorpio squared Byrne's PE which indicates potentials for "inborn fraudulent tendencies" and "chicanery"; "realism and honesty" are necessary in order to erase karmic debts (paraphrasing R. Linemen). This implies inheritance from his father, who must be his role model in business matters, I imagine - which also sounds like Trump and Papa Fred. Byrne's Eclipse and Saturn formed a T-square that points toward Neptune in Scorpio, not the best indicator of morality and, unless temptations are avoided, the placement involves more than a tinge of sex and/or drug abuse.

Byrne's Closest Applying Aspect to Natal Sun

Then there's the domineering "might makes right" attitude shown by his Sun-Pluto square (lower left) which resonates closely with similar Plutonian character traits of Donald Trump. This particular square tends to be a negative for relationships, especially when expressed in the realms of "romance." Still, it suggests that his ego (Sun) was determined to achieve his goals and objectives, with the 'success at any cost' potential for powering through any and all obstacles. Obviously, a strong will is indicated. Oh, but there's more determination --

The Highly Motivated Natal Mars of a Busy Boy

Now before closing, we should mention Patrick Byrne's Mars (@21Leo) which is unaspected in his natal chart by another planet yet is influenced by his powerful Pluto-NN midpoint (penned on the chart, upper right), plus, Mars leads a Locomotive shape of the ruthless executive with the rest of his planets following along. And if you read his Wikipedia bio page, you may be impressed by the large number of his business and political activities through the years. Unaspected, his me-first Mars in dramatic Leo is able to act in an unrestrained, boundless way and with sudden outbursts of anger or aggression; irrational actions can result (B. Tierney).

As for Mr. Byrne's 19 North PE repeating in time to influence Election 2016, he may have exulted over the thought that his barge of Plutonian domination, forcefully driven by fellow fantasist Herr Trump, had finally reached safe harbor in the White House, then in December 2020 Byrne plotted with the others hoping to repeat the 'successful' results of Election 2016 despite the will of a majority of voters in November 2020.

Because for some people, "might makes right," doncha know.

DC Horoscope: the "will be wild" tweet

A Tweet That Called for Violent Assault on Congress

by Jude Cowell

Spotlighted during the July 12, 2022 J6 Hearing was Trump's Will be wild tweet that he sent out to his followers at 1:42 am est on December 19, 2020 not long after the December 18th "unhinged" Oval Office meeting had ended. The tweet activated, and was intended to activate - Trump-idolizing militia groups to meet in Washington DC on January 6, 2021, and although no reader may agree with me - for I have no proof, only intuition - "will be wild" could very well have been a prearranged signal that the "armed revolution" against the US Congress to stop or slow down certification of the Electoral College Votes for Joe Biden was going forward - and weapons would be necessary.

So because his tweet has been accurately time-stamped, I've spent a few hours today messily marking study notes upon a bi-wheel with a DC Horoscope set for December 19, 2020 1:42 am est Washington DC, Trump's "will be wild" tweet (inner). Surrounding the 'tweet' horoscope is the natal chart of Donald Trump so that it's impossible to miss the fact that his Stationary Jupiter @17Lib27 precisely rises the moment he tweeted his "wild" message. This timing places House Speaker Nancy Pelosi's natal Jupiter opposite @18Aries. Rising is not simply his Jupiter but also Trump's natal 2nd house trio of Neptune-Chiron-Jupiter, and you'll note that he activated an armed mob to search and destroy the Speaker of the House that day, along with other Democrats, plus, VP Pence, who refused to help him with his coup attempt of the US government:

Now as you see, the tweet's 4 South Prenatal Solar Eclipse @23Sag08 (so near Trump's awkward Moon-South-Node conjunction) is penned into the 3rd house of Communications with its 4 South themes listed in the center of the horoscope (although there was no space to add 4 South's fated quality, or its 'end of relationships' potential - B. Brady). You probably remember that this is the December 14, 2020 Eclipse which occurred on the day the Electoral College voted for Joe Biden - and there were strong emotions expressed during the screamfest called the "unhinged" Oval Office meeting which Sidney "Kraken" Powell and other "crazies" attended, for one reason to tell Trump to seize voting machines through an executive order. (See lower left for a few notes on the de-licensed lawyer Powell, pal of Ginni Thomas - Powell's natal midpoint picture describes a fraudster.) If you watched, you know that the "unhinged" meeting was discussed during the July 12th J6 hearing yesterday.

And descriptively enough, for his birthday this year in June, Trump received a Full Moon @23Sag25 which starkly lit up the 4 South Electoral College Eclipse of December 14, 2020 - and of course, June 2022 brought his nibs lots of publicity and stress through multiple J6 Public Hearings! (The first hearing's horoscope is linked, below.) It's all about 2020's Electoral College Vote and Trump's refusal to get over his loss - which now sticks to the Trump brand.

Meanwhile, you'll note that the tweet chart's Midheaven ('MC'), the Goal Point, has difficult star Castor upon it ('sudden loss or fame; murder; crippling of limbs; mental illness' - A. Louis). Also conjunct Midheaven is the Mars-Ascendant midpoint, a picture that R. Ebertin gives as, 'fighters' and 'comrades in arms'. Comrades in arms? Sounds like militia groups and complicit Republican politicians who had parts to play in the "stop the steal" proceedings. An exception was VP Pence, an outlier whose refusal enraged coup-plotter Trump.

Lower right corner you see transit Pluto opposing Trump's natal Saturn denoting his refusal to accept loss and failure, the tweet's Moon @26AQ48 opposing Trump's natal Mars @26Leo46 which echoes the oppositional relationship between his aggressive Mars and US 1776 Moon (for those who use this placement for We The People). For me this is a cosmic picture of his contempt for us including his supporters, his aggression against our country, the assault against the peaceful transfer of power, and his general willingness to do America harm as signified by the Moon-Mars opposition. Plus, it's a Nodal Return for him when new alliances can be formed, and in his case, transit North Node @19Gemini points toward his natal 10th house Sun-NN-Uranus trio of 'meetings with excited or unusual people' ("crazies"), fanaticism, and radical reactionary politics.

Also notable, is that this time period includes the Great Conjunction of societal planets Jupiter and Saturn on December 21, 2020 @00AQ29 - conjunct the US POTUS Sun (played by Trump, at that time). This forms a midpoint picture of potentials: Jupiter-Saturn = POTUS Sun: "taking destiny into one's own hands; major changes according to plan; or, if nothing has been prepared, becoming gripped by the status quo and having to make the best of things" (N. Tyl).

Well, he was legally advised to avoid the crazy idea of seizing voting machines and his court challenges had failed, so I can believe that he was gripped by the status quo of his election loss, and with options exhausted, it seems that his tweet calling for armed rebellion must have been his version of taking destiny into his own tweeting hands in an attempt to make the 'best' of things by strong-arming his way back into the presidency.
