"Brut*l Efforts to Start a New Order"

by Jude Cowell, partisan for the common good

Through the years of SO'W, we've discussed a variety of Jupiter-related topics yet for me, there's one in particular that rises to the top of my list of past conditions informing and leading to current events as Election 2024 nears and the stakes for our futures are pivotal.

Naturally, this concern is only one of many influences, yet cosmically it can provide a basis for, or a signpost on the way to, the anarchistic take-over energies of modern-day zealots (red cappers; militiamen; lovers of "strong men" dictators) and Utopians (promoters of lawless society and draconian authoritarianism in America).

And so the ravenous spirit now knocks at Washington's door, and cosmically may be observed in large part through the 2020 Great Conjunction of Saturn and Pluto (horoscope linked, below).

At least, in the language of astrologese, the 2012 YOD pattern provides a view of past influences affecting present circumstances for those with ears to listen and eyes to see. But not to fret, dear reader, for speaking or understanding astrologese isn't strictly necessary since astrologers translate cosmic images into English, or into whatever language a reader prefers. It's what we do.

So today, I refer to the Winter Solstice 2012 Horoscope - 12 years ago - with its crisis-laden, crossroads-reaching YOD pattern formed by the 2012 Saturn-Pluto sextile at the pattern's base pointing toward apex JupiterRx @8Gem54 in the 6th house of Health, Work, Service (Military; Civil; Social), and Daily Rounds - and with Jupiter conjunct US 1776 Uranus, planet of zealots, reactionaries, revolutionists, radical reformers, anarchists, zealots, insurrectionists, seditionists, saboteurs, "shock troops," (as Bannon called for) such as those we watched on TV as they stormed Congress on January 6, 2021. Plus, with expansive Jupiter in 6th house, we know there had to be abundant communications in 2012 concerning 6th house - and hidden 12th house - matters.

2012 Jupiter (The General) to US 1776 Uranus (Totem Planet of War)

Potentials of the 2012 Jupiter-to-Uranus transit include: expanded or altered horizons, freedom and independence concerns, unorthodox training courses, instability, unusual travel destinations, and/or heading in a different direction.

Now as you see, the Winter Solstice 2012 chart is set for Washington DC (my old stomping grounds) with apex Jupiter and US 1776 Uranus having the "9 Gemini" Sabian Symbol, "A Quiver Filled With Arrows":

Today (10/07/24), transit Jupiter clocks in @21Gem20 (conjunct US 1776 Mars: an expanded part to play in events) so the Great Benefic's Return to position in the Winter Solstice 2012 chart has already occurred: significantly it perfected on July 4, 2024, America's Independence Day! And Jupiter does prize his independence - to explore and expand, yes?

Then if curious, you may wish to review Events of 2012.

And for more cosmic information, let's read the planetary trio plus one of 2012 as midpoint pictures of potentials:

Saturn-Pluto = Jupiter: religious and social fanaticism; difficulties caused through illness (R. Ebertin): people with leadership and power to dispense (M. Munkasey); austerity; trouble with authority; trying to save what's left (N. Tyl).

Same picture but substitute US 1776 Uranus in place of 2012 Jupiter and we have:

Brut*l efforts to start a new order; an attack, regardless of potential losses (NT); sudden acts of vi*lence (RE); erratic or uneven use of retaliatory methods; sudden changes or upsets in plans; reforms in the way punishment is given for important crimes (MM).

If only we'd known in 2012 what we know now.

To review the January 12, 2020 Conjunction of Saturn and Pluto in Capricorn try this previous SO'W post. You'll remember that the January 2020 Conjunction of old man Saturn, the devil, with primally viol*nt Pluto, planet of death, spies, the morbidly rich, destruction, and transformation landed directly upon the natal Vertex of a certain predator sporting an orange hue.

Trump-Organized Crime under RICO indictment in Georgia

Aug 14th: Our 13th Colony Steps Up for Law and Order

After last night's announcement in Georgia of a fourth indictment of Donald Trump and his co-conspirators acting within their self-created criminal organization, I considered writing a fresh post on the subject using astrological principles which could cast a cosmic light upon the circumstances and perhaps make some sense of it all. A cosmic glance under the hood of earthly events, we might say.

That is, I considered it until I realiized that such a post had already been written and published as, America's Neptune-Pluto Cycle of Crime and Fantasy featuring the organized crime duo's Great Conjunctions of 1891/1892 which landed upon America's 1776 Uranus, planet of revolution, war, anarchy, zealotry, radical/reactionary politics, chaos, upheaval, shocks, assaults, and disruption. Criminal enterprises have resulted, and criminal influences upon society have grown. Trump as criminal figurehead is their 'flowering'. Remember that initially, Trump was purported to helm the US from the White House as a corporate businessman. This he did with profit always his transactional motivation, and corruption no problem. No problem at all.

Plus, in mundane horoscopes there's Cupido, an archetype indicating The Syndicate, Corporatism, The Family, the Mafia, and criminal networks such as Trump and comrades put together thinking they could overthrow our country and negate our votes on behalf of a fascist dictator-wanna-be - and attempted for the benefit of certain global geopolitical take-over endeavors. You know the ones. Yet undoubtedly, the melee that useful tool Trump is causing the US Justice System pleases his handlers, for it keeps the DOJ busy, diverted, and under a potential for future collapse under the weight of Trump's hefty bulk.

You also know that Trump's foreign backers, enemies of America, of democracy, and of the US Constitution, are a major if surreptitious, factor in it all, as are certain other state government officials scooped up in Fani Willis' wide-ranging RICO prosecution announced late last night. Of course, easily recognized is the 1891/1892 era as that of the Robber Barons, the corporatists of their day - now we deal with their spawn, both biological and ideological. For example: Trump's J6 coup attempt was and is supported by many US corporations and CEOs--make that, transnational corporations who hold no allegiance to the United States of America despite the wealth they generated here using America's infrastructure, and the US consumers they profit by. Cash-cow-r-us!

Underneath it all, we're mired within our US Pluto Return with its collapse-rebuild vibrations that were heralded and supported by 2018's The Tower Eclipse, with themes activated in April 2019 by transit Uranus returning to its eclipse degree in early Taurus!

Meanwhile on the astrological level, if you check out the post linked, above, please scroll beneath the horoscope image to Michael Munkasey's Thesis-Antithesis description of the Neptune-Pluto duo if you don't check out anything else!

And for further reading, remember that this October, Trump greets the 7 South Eclipse conjunct his progressed Moon. Will this bring an 'October Surprise' for the amoral orange blighter? Or more like an October Shock?

Have you heard that two Alex Jones employees have been arrested by the Department of Justice? That, and several other tidbits of Jan 6th prosecution information are revealed in the following podcast hosted by Nicole Sandler, subbing for the vacationing Brad Friedman of The BradBlog, during Nicole's recent interview with emptywheel's Marcy Wheeler so check it out especially if you're one of those wondering why the DOJ is moving so slowly if at all! (They're not slow, actually.)

And for Friends of Political Astrology, below is a dual image of the 2:15 pm Horoscope (when US 1776 Uranus arose that afternoon in DC followed by the 2021 North Node - and US Mars in Gemini) of the Tr*mp Mob Attack of January 6, 2021 (lower left; his revenge: Sun/Saturn = Pluto) and the Jan 6th Attack's Solar Return 2022 Horoscope (upper right; as you know, solar return charts are 'good for' one year).

Quite a few chart factors are squooshed upon the images and intended for the curious few:
