American Revolution's Eclipse Aug 2027

As in 1775 Themes Repeat with the 11 South in 2027

by Jude Cowell on behalf of democracy and the common good

Back in the olden days of December 2012, the Horoscope of the American Revolution was published here on SO'W with a few planetary and historical details added such as the war's hidden dynamic.

Below is an excerpt from my December 2012 post which, in my mind, relates to the J6 coup attempt by sore loser Trump and his followers, the extremists, anarchists and zealots willing to overthrow the government of the nation that my Revolutionary War ancestors sacrificed, fought, and died to help establish. 'Maga' hotheads have even had the audacity to cite what they called their "1776 moment" as if their violent, traitorous sabotage of the US Congress that day was in league with the revolt of 1775 against the British monarchy. So actually, they even had the year wrong!

And yet, 'under cover' of the American Revolution, Trump's thugs and maga politicians have sought to justify what was a sore loser attempt to physically force a second Trump "presidency" upon the majority of American voters who had said, enough! to another term of Trumpian brutality and grift. Grudge-holding Donald was rebuffed, and he remains po'd.

Of course predictably, our country is now experiencing a wave of strong-armed violence and threats against anyone in process of holding Trump accountable for instigating J6, plus, for the several other allegations against him, including espionage. And if the US military had played along that day, Trump's coup attempt might have been successful, so it's significant that Republican Senator Tuberville of Alabama has been aiding Trump for months by holding up military promotions. But good news! The new chairman of the Joint-Chiefs-of-Staff, C.Q. Brown, has been successfully confirmed by bipartisan Senate vote, "sidestepping" the Tuberville scheme to hobble our military which damages our national security, and aids Mr. Putin.

And you'll note that House magas are against more funds for Ukraine and it's part of the snag involved with the Republican government shutdown that could be coming November 17th. Meanwhile, Rs are now callously using the Israel-Hamas War (begun October 7, 2023) to further their support of Russia by claiming no support for democratic Ukraine, send the support to Israel instead, they cry!

Thankfully confirmed now is General Randy George as Army Chief of Staff. At least there's a bit more progress although US national security remains in jeopardy, just how America's enemies planned. And you've noticed how the Hamas attack on Israel came only after Tuberville's blockage of military promotions intended to neuter the US military as much as possible.

But speaking of military topics and conditions, let's look ahead to 2027 because a significant Solar Eclipse repeats and it's the one that 'spawned' the American Revolution, and it arrives in early August 2027 (influences begin in July) and, as the Cosmos would have it, the malevolent natal Pluto of Donald Trump @10Leo02 will be 'eclipsed' by it as it casts a disruptive cosmic spotlight his way. This transit indicates power issues or abuse, plus, criminal offences such as gang wars for anyone who lives long enough to experience it.

The American Revolution 1775's 11 South Eclipse occurred @11Pis11; an eclipse in the 11 South Series repeats on August 2, 2027 @9Leo55:

As you see, 10th H Pluto @26Cap41 in 1775, planet of power, manipulation, and control, is in the same degree (26) as battling Mars with Mars @26Leo13 (conjunct Trump's natal Mars). Their inconjunct (150 degr) is nearly partile (exact) and applying (0A27.) A persecuting Mars-Pluto inconjunction (or, quincunx) describes a courageous challenger (Mars) who's grown weary of being someone else's 'workhorse' and Mars' bad temper results in explosive conditions which are made more burdensome by financial stress.

Also notable is transit Pluto in Aquarius aligning in opposition to Trump's Pluto in Leo suggesting a no-compromise struggle for power and control.

These cosmic signals resemble the conditions that sparked the American Revolution to me. How about you?

118th Congress w/ Govt Shutdown Oct 1, 2023

by Jude Cowell, a partisan for democracy and the common good

Just a quick posting of a bi-wheel of DC Horoscopes: the 118th Congress (inner) surrounded by a chart showing the possible GOP government shutdown (outer) set for October 1, 2023 12:00 am EDT, Capitol Building. Why quick? Because the shutdown may not happen at all, and because my time is as valuable as any of the Utopian idealists now working to sabotage the House of Representatives in their determination to destroy the US Congress, the US Justice System, and the federal government via the White House -- in words, our three branches of government are obstacles to their take-over agenda as is the US Constitution.

Of course, harming President Biden in case it boosts Republicans in November 2024 would be a bonus of causing yet another shutdown, they think, and the collateral damage to the US economy and to the lives of the American people - well these are only necessary side issues for the GOP. They'll even blame Democrats for any negative shutdown consequences if they can! And significant damage to the US Military is well underway thanks to Mr. Tuberville.

Yet this hostage scheme hasn't worked well for Republicans before but we do get to marvel at their neurotic activity as a head-against-wall exercise while expecting different outcomes. Be sure to note the Neptune/MC notes penned on, upper middle.

Meanwhile at home, the GOP's aberrant, underhanded behavior allows the American public and the entire world to witness them (self-styled ultra-magas) as they follow orders from their overlords, enemies of the US, both foreign and domestic. Why, even their cult idol Herr Trump must act under orders even though his mind is so addled lately he thinks he ran a race against President Obama!

Anyway, here's the bi-wheel. Do with it whatever you can:

Hopefully you can enlarge the image if you wish and read my study notes of which there are many.

J6 Senator Tommy Tuberville's Planets

On the Wikipedia page of J6 Senator Thomas "Tommy" Tuberville (R-AL), now blocking 184+ military promotions, ostensibly to protest the US military's new abortion policy, we find that the former Alabama football coach was born September 18, 1954 in Camden, Arkansas with an Earth-Air personality blend of Sun Virgo-Moon Gemini (from 16Gem01 to 22:58). This suggests an imbalance of strength on the mental side, weakness on the emotional side. Last I heard, Senator Turberville sits on both the Armed Services Committee and the Veterans' Affairs Committee but it only takes one senator under Senate rules to block such promotions and he's grasping the ball and running with it (with "coach" Trump's approval, one suspects).

See USAToday: Former Pentagon officials on Tuberville blocking nominees turns them into "political pawns" which details the negative consequences - further harm to our country's national security being one of them.

So! Below are two horoscopes: a 'noon' version of Tuberville's natal chart, and an accurately timed horoscope of his 10 South Prenatal Eclipse ('PE') which occurred June 30, 1954 @8Can10 conjunct Trump's natal Mercury with the degree's (possibly disturbing) Sabian Symbol, "A Tiny Nude Miss Reaching Into the Water for a Fish."

This makes me wonder about certain chart factors such as his PE's Neptune = Venus-Mars (penned on the chart as, perversity) and 10 South's themes which are also listed on the chart, highlighted in orange, and which could suggest leaving his coaching career (think Jim Jordan) for a safer, more lucrative career in politics. His natal Jupiter is exalted in Cancer and its conjunction with Uranus suggests fortunate advantages, lots of travel, fortune-hunting, and a leaning toward political reformist activities.

Dual Images:

Tuberville 'noon' natal (lower left); his 10 South PE June 30, 1954 (upper right):

Now the last 10 South Eclipse occurred in 2008 @10Leo (conjunct Trump's natal 12th house Pluto = Mars-Saturn of death), and the next 10 South Eclipse repeats on August 12, 2026 @20Leo conjunct the natal Mars of J6 plotter Patrick Byrne.

When Pluto conjuncts Inauguration 2021 Midheaven

Transit Pluto "Takes Charge" of Inauguration 2021's Midheaven 26Cap16

by Jude Cowell

With Reinold Ebertin's famous assessment of Pluto in Capricorn as, "the dictator," and with the Midheaven ('MC') angle of a horoscope denoting The Goal or Objective, we may wish to consider a few factors about the five conjunctions of transit Pluto to the MC of the Inauguration 2021 Horoscope. Of course, other potentials for Pluto in Saturn-ruled Capricorn are of interest as well: 'an untiring struggle for power and independence; the successful realization of new ideas, plans, and inventions; the acceptance of a dangerous position' (The Combination of Stellar Influences, R. Ebertin #ad).

Plus, astrological Pluto can play other roles as well such as transformative agent, regenerative energy, manipulator from afar, Underworld boss, politician, propagandist, suggestive orator, actor, psychologist, surgeon, wealth hoarder (the dragon guarding the riches), spy, thief, rapist, invisible force or power, Providence, the Pope - the list goes on.

And as you see below in the first Pluto-to-MC horoscope, lower left, set for March 11, 2021, Pluto @26Cap16 is unaspected, its energies isolated and hidden, and indicating someone overshadowed by shadows (B. Tierney). And that from the hidden 12th house of the Unconscious, Karma, and Secret Enemies. And while a weakened America is in the midst of a major downturn, this transit describes something transformative about the US presidency itself and our dire need for the administration to rebuild America's health, reputation, and fortunes, to whatever extent it can be done over the next few years. Biden promises rebuilding, Trump does not.

Meanwhhile, we should note that by the fifth of the Pluto-to-MC Conjunctions on November 3, 2022 (upper right), a Mars-Pluto inconjunction suggests that too much has had to be taken on resulting in an increase of financial stress, and a depletion of energy - adjustments are required and hopefully, the depletion won't relate negatively to nuclear energy concerns. Of course, the US military may be indicated with Mars-Pluto as well.

(Here I'm using powerful Pluto "taking charge" of the presidency to indicate a Biden-Harris administration with more of a status quo/CFR flavor rather than four more years of a Trump-as-Underworld-figurehead/racist-fascist fiasco. More will be known once the Biden-Trump stalemate is finally certified by Congress but even so there are radical, rebellious elements in society who consider themselves to have received a 'go-ahead' signal for upheaval and overthrow which can be seen in part by one societal factor listed, lower left, the Saturn-Uranus square with its 'lack of common sense', challenges to authority, and tendency toward violence. The planetary duo's old-vs-new square is part of the 45-year cycle of Saturn and Uranus which began with 3 conjunctions in 1988 @27-30Sag and won't end with a new conjunction @28Gem01 until year 2032.)

So! Here for your consideration are the first and last of the Pluto Conjunct Inauguration 2021 MC Horoscopes. Dates of numbers 2, 3, and 4 conjunctions are listed, right center:

As usual, your on-topic ponderings and Shares are much appreciated! As long as your name is attached. Jude

June 2020 Uranus activates 1865 Saturn-Pluto

What's Old Is New Again: Or Is It Vice Versa? Naming No Names

by Jude Cowell

June 4, 2020: Nowadays in America our freedoms are in danger of being vastly restricted. We see it in political events and speeches, in the news, and overhead in the skies. Therefore, care must be taken not to publish on topics that might attract the raptor's gaze. This is something I'd hoped never to have to type in a Stars Over Washington post but the time has drawn nigh, my friends. And so what do I haul off and do this evening? Make an attempt to find corresponding astrological factors that reflect current events to describe the protests, demonstrations, and the overly forceful, reactionary responses from denizens of the White House who feel under threat from the populace and so they threaten We The People. In this case, it's peaceful protesters under siege by alt-right operatives and "soldiers" in black wearing no identifying insignia - ordered about by a desperate man. But there's no call to list such calamities here for we're all drenched with news of the day and, in fact, must make concerted efforts to avoid knowledge of it.

As Above So Below! I refer to the current position of transit Uranus in early Taurus now activating a certain opposition in the founding horoscope of a controversial organization that formed on December 24, 1865 in Pulaski, Tennessee--a group well known for its violent tendencies and strong-armed behavior. But through an abundance of caution, I shall not name it, nor anyone else, in this post.

For you see, this particular group, backed by enablers both foreign and domestic, coup'ed the White House in 2016/2017 so I suspect you know which group I refer to. The group's natal aspect now activated is a brutal Saturn-Pluto opposition across the Taurus-Scorpio axis and now transit Uranus has careened along within the same degree area and spurred the harsh opposition into expression in our day.

Now as you know, the cycle of Uranus is approximately 84 years in length so this transit has occurred before (since 1865) when transit Uranus was around 8-12 Taurus - significantly during the 1930s. Well, who doesn't know that upheaval, turbulence, and power-grabs in society occurred during those days, too? And by like-minded perpetrators attempting to take control of government. History rhymes but note that their coup failed in America. Now they're trying again and have learned a few tricks from their mistakes.

And so it is due to the quickly shifting reforms and threats to change America into a police state that I type at you with more concern for our nation than ever before. For nearly fifteen years I've fussed here on SO'W about how I didn't - don't - 'like what they've done with the place' - 'the place' being my former city of residence, Washington DC, and of course, this extends to the entire United States of America. Yet as I said, the time has drawn nigh and a great crisis is forced upon the American people who must yield to or fight against oppressive forces.

So! With transit Uranus, planet of revolt and revolution, now triggering the 1865 Saturn-Pluto opposition belonging to a bunch of hotheaded sour pusses who just can't give up their treasonous fight, let's consider the Uranian transit from the perspectives of (1) 2020 Uranus opposing 1865 Saturn in Scorpio and (2) 2020 Uranus nearing conjunction to 1865 Pluto in Taurus (exact three times: June and November 2021 and March 2022):

(1) Traditions and methods are under fire from opposing forces demanding change, progressive reforms, and a 'new order' (Saturn: old vs Uranus: new). Attempts to enforce control over events or people will have negative consequences. Moderation is the best course of action but will prove difficult to manage or retain.

(2) Upheavals, unrest, calamities, revolts, protests, riots, strikes, demonstrations, stalemates, battle lines, and a period when past crimes threaten to 'catch up with' perpetrators. So apparently we can include 'arrests' to this list especially since arrests are already happening.

Now let's add the midpoint picture formed by the three planets, rigid old Saturn, powerful manipulator and bank-roller Pluto (intolerant when in Taurus) plus, rebellious catalyst Uranus, fond of speculative ventures when in Taurus yet may fail due to impulsively taking premature actions: "Brutal efforts to start a new order; an attack, regardless of potential losses" (Solar Arcs, Noel Tyl).

Now there are plenty of other contacts from 2020 planets to the 1865 horoscope I'm looking at ('noon') but to keep this post on the brief side, I'll add only this: 1865 Saturn @9Sco39 was conjoined on Inauguration Day 2017 by our Inaugural Moon @9Sco21 which at noon est that day had sunk into the 6th house of Military-Police-Civil Services, Daily Rounds, and Health (yes, you know that Covid-19 is one of the current assaults upon the American people--and on the world, for that matter--this threatens to become a global conflagration just as certain criminal elements in society have long dreamed--hence, 'the group').

And so transit Uranus in Taurus now opposes 2017 Inaugural Moon in Scorpio which suggests a period when our domestic environments are disrupted, lives and conditions feel unstable, separations can occur between family members, even pets, soldiers suddenly show up, medical systems are interrupted, and deep emotional turmoil ripples across the land.

Well, I made it through without naming names and I sincerely hope that this As Above So Below post doesn't bum anyone out more than they already were before they haplessly or purposefully arrived on Stars Over Washington. As usual, my intention is to forearm any reader who cares to take note via Astrology, the only system of analysis that adds the element of timing to all matters at hand.

"I warned them that this would happen" Trans Rights Under Attack by Trump

In this July 26th segment Thom sympathizes with a very upset caller:

Texans Think America Wants To Go To War With Them: Ring of Fire broadcast

#Texas #PoliceState #America #ConspiracyTheories #War #USmilitary #Pentagon #RingofFire

When I heard about the large number of troops recently sent to Texas for training exercises and the Texas State Guard ordered by Gov. Abbott to "monitor" them, I naturally thought of US natal Mars, the warrior, in its retrograde condition since 2006 and how Martian energy (military, police, etc) is in process of being turned inward toward American citizens. But the current #JadeHelm15 scenario sounds more paranoid (Neptune now in Pisces) than even I can entertain though it does seem that something shady is going on in Texas...is there an attack upon the US expected from that direction?

~:~

There are a few dates important in the establishment of the Republic of Texas beginning with its break from Spanish rule and American colonization which started in 1821. Rebellion in 1836 resulted and the Republic of Texas proclaimed independence on March 2, 1836 in Washington, TX. Independence was established by the Battle of San Jacinto on April 21, 1836 and the anniversary of this date was celebrated on the opening of the Texas Commission in London in 1986.

The US government annexed Texas on February 19, 1846 and this is why we call Texas a state. When we do.

Horoscope: Summer Solstice 2012

Summer Solstice 2012 with Pluto Rising in Washington DC

by Jude Cowell

Once the Solar Eclipse of May 20, 2012 manifests @ 00Gem21, we then have Summer Solstice 2012 to look forward to, and this year the Sun clocks in at 00Cancer00:00 on June 20, 2012 at 7:09 pm edt in Washington DC. Below you see the Solstice horoscope set for the White House and loaded with my usual hodge podge of astro-notes and basic chart factors:

Outer, highlighted in green, are the general positions of America's natal planets, Ascendant, and Midheaven from our 'Sibly' horoscope of July 4, 1776 5:10 pm LMT Philadelphia, PA. No other planetary links are notated on the chart including those of President Obama but if links seem significant to this astrologer, they will be mentioned within the text, or discussed in a later post.

Now let's get on with a basic consideration of the June 20, 2012 horoscope which begins our Summer season in the Northern Hemisphere and is 'good for' six months until Autumn Equinox 2012 though certain factors and sensitive degrees in the Solstice chart may remain influential and subject to stimulation by transiting planets and progressions until Summer Solstice 2013.

Summer Solstice June 20, 2012 7:09 pm EDT White House

Hour of Jupiter (posited in 6th house of Military, Service, Work, Health) @ 2Gem04 conjunct Fixed Star Mirfak (challenge-oriented; young male energy; aggressive warrior or politician; house position may be where physical prowess and/or mental abilities are overestimated, and those involved will not listen to wisdom or take caution or precaution--PM Margaret Thatcher was born with natal Jupiter and Mirfak linked, says Brady's Book of Fixed Stars; recklessness or rash action may be indicated, and additional conflicts, invasions, and wars cannot be ruled out, sad to say.

Also, with Sagittarius (The Seeker) rising, Jupiter is Summer Solstice 2012's chart-ruler (in DC) so we look to Jupiter's major (Ptolemaic) applying aspects for clues on how things will proceed. As you see, Venus in 6th H (revenge; jealousy, evaluations; money) and Jupiter (the General, Banker, Priest, Guru) are both Money significators; Venus awaits Jupiter and is conjoining US natal Uranus 8Gem55, a time when unorthodox or unusual alliances may be entered into (such as during rare Venus Transits and this Solstice is just past the Venus Transit of June 5/6, 2012 in mid-Gemini when those we would never expect to be allies 'hook-up' for who-knows-what actions to be taken...more war? more financial heisting? unknown hooliganism or secret deals of great import?)

Note: you see that the cusps of this horoscope echo closely those in the US natal 'Sibly' chart which personalizes Summer Solstice 2012 for the US and hints at a significant time frame of action especially with the chart weighted on the Angular side--all 4 Angular houses contain planets, aka, actors; the Hemispheric emphases are on Others taking the lead or holding the cards--Sun and Moon in 7th H of Partnerships-- and on equally private and public involvements; foreign bankers are lurking, m'peops, as they have from Day One in America so this may be significant of the EU debt crisis affecting US financial prospects. Global bankers are quite devious, you know, and entertain no allegiance whatsoever to America.)

Chart-ruler Jupiter Does Apply...

Jupiter applies to a square with nebulous Neptune 3Pis04 Rx (conj Fomalhaut: karmic; positive or negative; legal problems; shady associates; congenital defects; magic (A. Louis.) Jupiter/Neptune squares indicate smooth talkers (Neptune in 3rd H), over-promisers, big schemers, and difficulty identifying facts; social burdens seem heavy and too demanding, religious leaders are impractical and use overblown rhetoric, and deception and illusion undermine conditions along with financial data that's hidden, ignored, or neglected as half-truths are used as tools of persuasion and propaganda (Campaign 2012!) Avoiding exaggeration and extravagance is necessary since optimism may be misguided yet promoted by those who paint an over-rosy Big Picture.

Yes, Jupiter conj Mirfak, as mentioned above, points toward military issues and concerns in particular; plus, expanding Jupiter @ 2Gem04 opposes and therefore triggers the November 25, 2011 Solar Eclipse @ 2Sag37 (a peculiar turn of events--ex: the 'Super Congress' when the US Congress shoved its constitutionally mandated duties on twelve elite members--so the financial matters in that alleged 'debt crisis' mess, which they intend to use to promote austerity measures such as those now crippling Europe, will be on our national menu again this can-kicking summer as is to be expected from the miscreants of Washington DC.)

And with the Moon ruling 8th H of Shared Resources, Debt, Credit, Insurance, Legacies, Death, Transformation, and the Occult, we may expect market fluctuations, alternating fluidity, and instability--ups'n'downs--in the US business sector. Plus, 15Can06/24 on 8th cusp points to the natal Ascendant of The Pentagon and the costly wars that the American people pay for yet then suffer from as global wheeler-dealers who start wars make their obscene profits on the backs of everyone else (I'm looking at you, Federal Reserve System.)

Also you see that Venus squares Neptune which has karmic undertones and similar indications as above (Jupiter) with the addition of disappointment in relationships and a potential for sexual blackmail and other scandals involving 6th H and 3rd H matters; indiscriminate behavior in romance, involvement in cults, strange or shady associations behind the curtain (which may support such indicators for the Venus Transit of June 5/6, 2012); gullibility in 3rd/6th H matters is shown by the extravagant, pretentious Venus/Neptune square.

In addition to military significators in the Summer Solstice 2012 horoscope and actors who are undermined and blocked by contact with unstable and contagious Neptune in its own sign of murky, oceanic Pisces, SCOTUS is apparently scheduled to decide on the constitutionality of the Obama administration's Affordable Health Care Act--allegedly by late June 2012!

As for the Sun (the main topic of this post!) a helpful (or slippery slope) to Neptune may show for the President (Sun) who may be the smooth talker mentioned here with Neptune in 3rd H of Communications; plus, Sun will oppose Pluto in about one week with their cycle having begun (conjunction) on December 29, 2011 at '8Cap' conjunct Facies one of the 'victimization' stars. Something is culminating in the Sun/Pluto department and/or relationships are strained or ended but further sleuthing will be needed beginning with the date, December 29, 2011.

Upstarts in 4th House: US natal Uranus 8Gem55 Visited by Venus

Transit Venus to US natal Uranus heightens the ability to coordinate group activities such as political campaigns and military or surveillance operations. Mars 23Vir38 in 9th H of Foreign Lands denotes US troops far afield and foreign fighters who oppose our occupations of their countries. This Mars is quite busy for The Warrior sets off America's problematic Mars/Neptune square with its misdirected or misguided energy and confused or deceptive motivations (or inspired actions!) while conjoining both US n Neptune and President Obama's n Mars which, as you know, conjoins our national Neptune, the 'rockstar' link that veils his true actions and motivations.

Mars to n Neptune is a time when keeping a low profile and being cautious in all things is the best advice yet the 6th H indicators mentioned above concerning Jupiter and Mirfak hint that a different and unfortunate course may be taken instead. Of course, Mars conj n Mars is a Mars Return as previously discussed on SO'W for President Obama, though its degree here is not precise to the minute so you may wish to check out a previous post Obama's Mars Return 2012: Jan-Feb-June since its dynamism influences the next two years (new cycle of activity) in all the realms of Mars. And the new cycle may just aid him in getting re-elected in November 2012.

Well, there are plenty more chart factors to be delineated, of course, as you see, but briefer is better on a blog, don't you think?

Now here's a list of previous articles that relate to Summer Solstice 2012 on some level or another. Most are written by yours truly since I know which Political Astrology topics are already covered here (though with over 3,000 posts published on SO'W, it isn't always easy to locate them!) However, most on the list do contain links to articles by other astrologers and authors--in fact, the first suggestion includes the not-to-be-missed and latest forecast from mundane astrologer Theodore White:

Global Astrology Forecast: May-June-July 2012

Spring Equinox 2012 (horoscope supports the above indicators of conflict and war with the Mars/Saturn midpoint at Midheaven--'Mars/Saturn' = wars that persist (Munkasey); MC = The Goal. So...US military will remain in Afghanistan until 2024? Unconscionable, high-handed, and outrageous! Certain global banking houses keep Washington on a really tight leash, don't they? But waging war is all about the power elite making Big Money and consolidating over-arching power, after all, so the President's announcement is no surprise.)

America's Sun-Pluto Obsession which could be about our traditional 'cult of personality' tendencies of Sun worship (ex: The President) as well as meddling from other power-filled folk with plutonian natures who rule the US from afar--US natal Pluto out-of-bounds in Capricorn, sign of the old country.

May 2012 Solar Eclipse to New World Order Natal Chart

Blog-Note: now in preparation is something New and Coming Soon, if all goes well--the first issue of Stars Over Washington Monthly, a 3-month subscription newsletter in which more details will be aired concerning political and astrological topics and which will primarily focus on the Politics and politicians of Washington DC, our astrological 'stand in' for America herself, and keeping in mind that America is a 'stand in' for our modern Global Society.

You see, my feeling after seven years of using Astrology to reveal Politics here on SO'W and on other blogs is that precious few readers make it to the end of longer articles because only those who are truly interested are...well, truly interested. Therefore, I shall make available more of my research for those who are curious or are studying Political Astrology themselves as do I (or who wish to critique my conclusions!) Plus, the majority of my mundane research is never published online--as of yet. As always, your comments, opinions, and queries will be welcome so I do hope you'll stay tuned and consider checking out SO'W Monthly! jc

12.19.11 Adrian Lamo discusses Bradley Manning (video)

Stars Over Washington December 19, 2011

Below is a video gleaned from today's Democracy Now! with Amy Goodman interviewing the fellow who blew the whistle on whistle blower Bradley Manning who apparently leaked US helicopter draconianism and mayhem to Julian Assange's organization, WikiLeaks.

Adrian Lamo discusses topics that concern Pvt. Manning and Manning's tortuous treatment by a US government of bureaucrats and technocrats who don't appreciate having the ugly underbelly of war suddenly revealed in such stark relief to an agog public already uncertain that America has any legal right to invade and occupy foreign lands while indiscriminately raining death and destruction down upon the heads of innocent people...and then lying about it.

Why, anyone with a brain that isn't reptilian knows that karma (by which I refer to reaping what was sown) will be just as, or more, grievous when it comes round for payment due to the massive amounts of misery America has dealt the world by way of our government's political, military, and social actions. Actions have re-actions which result in unintended consequences of the "blow-back" kind, as the C.I.A. once nicknamed this karmic phenomenon.

And being treated to performances by a theatrically rehearsed White House administration and staff doesn't change the fact that a natural law waits for no man, and when the time comes, even the best-heeled heels in the board rooms of the global power elite will pay their karmic debts.

(And won't they be surprised? You think you get away with something, then Boom! the red dye explodes all over your greedy mitts and you're nabbed.)

As you know, it's been over 18 months' detention under grave conditions for Pvt. Manning so far. Personally, this American feels that 18mos+ is gracious plenty punishment for a young, idealistic Private though I doubt his case is covered by the Whistle Blower Protection Act of 1988 which purports to "protect"--it's in the title!!!--whistle blowers who uncover fraud or misconduct in or by the US military.

Yet if Pvt. Manning leaked classified information, he did so, not through prescribed military channels which would be protected under the 1988 Act, but to the techie services of Julian Assange who would publish the sensitive info unto the Universe.

And you know? I believe the Universe appreciates truth and has no time for well-crafted lies, imperial or otherwise. But that's just me talkin', not the Washington establishment.

Attack on Osama bin Laden Tweeted in real time!

Of all that I've heard or seen since late last evening concerning the attack and killing of Osama bin Laden, my so-far favorite comes from a resident who didn't know what he was Tweeting about when he first Tweeted it!.

Here's TIME's timeline of events though how many grains of salt you want handy as you read are up to you.

(His DNA was taken and his body buried at sea? Really? DNA could have been taken any time since Tora Bora - 2001 - and 'buried at sea' within the required 24 hours is awfully convenient for not having to produce the man's body. Hmm.)

~:~

A stroll down Memory Lane soon finds a George W. Bush giving up on finding bin Laden quite quickly or at least he spun it that way in March 2002:

"Who knows if he's hiding in some cave or not. We haven't heard from him in a long time. The idea of focusing on one person really indicates to me people don’t understand the scope of the mission. Terror is bigger than one person. He's just a person who's been marginalized....I don't know where he is. I really just don’t spend that much time on him, to be honest with you."

Are Haiti quakes HAARP's 'weather warfare'?

Guess What? It Isn't Science Fiction Anymore

The US Air Force and Navy have been messing with Earth's ionosphere for some time now thanks to HAARP and its inventor Bernard Eastlund whose patent was kept sealed under a government secrecy order for one year. It's now public, and details about Eastlund's weather-altering transmitter of powerful radiation beams can do many amazing things which include interfering with Earth's magnetic fields thereby confusing migratory birds, marine animals, and other creatures.

The military-controlled apparatus is based in Alaska, so Sarah Palin's thought processes may have been scrambled 'ere this (which would explain a lot.)

And did I hear you say, beached whales and dolphins? The transmitter sits on the path of the Pacific Flyway, a bad decision which goes along with the rest, one supposes.

Upper Atmospheric Wind Patterns Can Be Altered

Use of this 'virtual mirror' of excessive, focused power can result in massive electrical outages and weather manipulations, while pilot communications and electronic instrumentation interferences are other possibilities, as well as possibly triggering health conditions and diseases such as cancer.

This sounds a lot like one of the myths of Atlantis' demise, you know the one: massive out-of-control power abuses blow everything to kingdom come and a large land mass sinks into the sea.

This part of the Atlantean myth must be why the asteroid Atlantis has for its key phrases: abuse of power; where we feel doomed. 'Atlantis' may also refer to the Atlantic Ocean, the shuttle Atlantis, and to America as the supposed "New Atlantis," a reference to Francis Bacon's utopian novel (published 1624 in Latin; 1627 in English) of "an ideal land" and "mythical island."

HAARP can raise internal body temperatures of "people nearby," admits the Navy and Air Force about this devilish program which may have been created for positive uses, yet as always with mankind's dualistic nature, it's the motivation behind the facade that tells the truer tale and brings the ultimate results.

But why would the US military want to destroy and depopulate Haiti and move several thousand troops in to "distribute aid and provide relief"? (Notice our military planes had dibs on landing there - and how little relief has actually been delivered to the Haitian people even a week+ after the initial event.)

Why? The rumor is that there may be oil and uranium there and we're said to be running out of both. And since when did imperial America fail to coup d'etat countries and take charge of their natural resources wherever our plutocratic Robber Baron oligarchs found them?

Update 1.23.10: perhaps HAARP is woven into science fiction, too, in the novel Dante's Equation.

Thanks for the heads-up, Alex!

Senior Qaeda figure in Iraq did not exist: U.S. military 18 Jul 2007:

A senior operative for al Qaeda [al-CIAduh] in Iraq who was caught this month has told his U.S. military interrogators a prominent al Qaeda-led group is just a front and its leader fictitious, a military spokesman said on Wednesday. Brigadier-General Kevin Bergner told a news conference that Abu Omar al-Baghdadi, leader of the self-styled Islamic State of Iraq, which was purportedly set up last year, did not exist.#

What to believe? It's sad but predictable when deceivers are so easily and regularly deceived.

Kissinger's Dirty Secrets

What good can be said for Henry Kissinger and his use of America's power?

Depleted Uranium: Dirty Bombs, Dirty Missiles, Dirty Bullets by Leuren Moret doesn't do it.

How about a post-Vietnam quote from the horse's mouth?

"Henceforth the adequacy of any military establishment will be judged by its ability to keep the peace."

A military "establishment"? Ah, the beginning of much of the world's problems bwo the Pentagon. "Peace"? what a hoot from Mr. DU himself.

Kissinger's natal chart (May 27, 1923) shows his Sun 4Gem52 in 12th house--mark of the unconsciously arrogant politician, along with a versatile Geminian Mercury.

There's quick-witted, sometimes two-faced Gemini rising making his 12th house Mercury the chart-ruler...he's a behind-the-scenes kinda guy: Mr. Shuttle Diplomacy at your service.

Moon 22Lib32 is in 5th house of risk-taking...he has an emotional need for it, and with Moon conj Fixed Stars Spica and Arcturus, he's had much success with his gambles--war profiteering is a lucrative profession, as you know.

Plus, n Jupiter Rx @ 11Sco28 is conj Part of Fortuna--at the "An embassy ball" degree...embassy schmoozing in Washington for the big bucks. Don't they all if they can?

Saturn, planet of responsibility and control, is conj n US Saturn--which was triggered by Mercury (air travel) on 9/11/01.

Now you know that Kissinger has always been described as a lover of the ladies--he has a 12th house Venus in lusty, earthy Taurus--Venus in 12th = secret love affairs. But let's fuggedabowdit, shall we? Even though he has a first-house Mars in Gemini rising with Pluto in Cancer following.

Mars-Pluto together is the ruthless zealot with superhuman force, not above using brutality whenever necessary. While this primal, volcanic energy can be cruel, it bestows great ambitions, vigour, and self-confidence.

His Sun Gem-Moon Libra personality blend indicates a wandering spirit who needs ever-new vistas, plus this is supported by an emphasis on Sagittarian energy in his natal chart...the Quest, a quiver filled with arrows--he's on a grand mission as he flies high above the clouds--a man on a magic carpet.

If the grand mission includes helping to spread cancer-causing depleted uranium over the planet, he's been succeeding for years.


Sun Gem-Moon Lib Images for Integration:

An elegant hostess puts on a party and exhibition to help a worthy cause...A shuttle diplomat brings together warring factions...Elgar's Enigma Variations--"to my friends depicted within" (Sun Sign-Moon Sign, Chas. & Suzi Harvey.)

This Sun-Moon blend is shared natally by George Bush Sr. and by dancer Josephine Baker who presciently said:

"I wasn't really naked. I simply didn't have any clothes on."


That's a great description for the imperial 'presidency' of Bush43 and for the rest of the Vulcans who pretend to do what's best for America while they're actually busy feathering their nests at the whole world's expense.
