SS Act's Eclipse repeats Sept 2025

by Jude Cowell, partisan for the common good

Threatened since the day the bill was signed, the Social Security Act of 1935, and the money We the People have paid into the fund through the decades via taxes, are now at risk more than ever before as Republicans seem to have accomplished their long-term goal to beggar and deplete our nation, people, and the US economy. Call this what you wish, but I call it a heist by a gang of robbers. Their cruelty and sadism are additional features.

Now the Social Security Act that set up the popular social safety net program (Saturn-Neptune - soon to conjunct at Aries Point in February 2026) was signed by President Franklin Delano Roosevelt on August 14, 1935 under the auspices of a 9 New South Solar Eclipse which had perfected a couple of weeks earlier on July 30, 1935 @6Leo17 - conjunct America's 1776 North Node showing that karmic progress was being made. And as we both know, progress is exactly what regressive Republicans are determined to stifle in America - leading to a backward society and to more money for their thieving! Why, even the gold in Fort Knox is under threat now for like the Naz*s of old, gold is excellent for funding whatever Reich needs financing. Even if it's a "unified Reich" as a a certain someone called it, then pretended he didn't.

And so as a reminder, from his 1937 Inauguration Address here's FDR's famous, "the test of our progress": "The test of our progress is not whether we add more to the abundance of those who have much; it is whether we provide enough for those who have too little." But of course, adding to the abundance of those who have much is what Mump, Tusk, and the rest of the plutocrats are all about - no matter who suffers.

The main point is that during this major assault on our SS benefits, the themes of the 1935 Eclipse will be spotlighted once again by the 9 New South Eclipse of September 21, 2025 @29Vir05 - basically an Autumn Equinox Eclipse except that the Sun hasn't quite reached 00Lib00:00. For comparison, view a dual image of the Autumn Equinox 2025 chart and the 9 New South Eclipse chart of 2025 here.

9 New South Themes:

Bringing to the surface long-term worries about loved ones, health, or issues to do with paperwork or communications; this could manifest as a worrying piece of news about a loved one or responsibilities with paperwork coming home to roost; any news will have a sense of fatedness or destiny attached (paraphrasing B. Brady, Predictive Astrology #ad).

FDR's "a test of our progress" outs the Plutocrats of 2016

Way back in 2006, 2007, and 2008 on Stars Over Washington a frequent mention or quote involved the following excerpt from Franklin D. Roosevelt's Inauguration Address of January 20, 1937 (the first inauguration that was switched from early March to January 20th and which gave the presidency an airy, more rigid Aquarian Sun of leadership instead of a watery Pisces Sun). Since then the US economy has tanked and somewhat recovered (in an illusory way for the 99%) and many economists, pundits, and prognosticators are predicting another meltdown in 2016 or later.

As an astrology novice, I, too, have been guilty of such doubts if only because of the natural law that 'what goes up must come down' and the bubbly, fraudulent Jupiter-Neptune influences of 2009 and beyond. But one thing as an American and a Child of the Revolution (30 Cancer) that has never seemed doubtful to me is that the following excerpt full of the humanitarian flavor of Aquarius describes a timeless measurement and perfectly encapsulates our current worsening conditions brought on by the steady campaign fought by wealthy, secretive plutocrats against the American people in order to dismantle our social safety net, create chaos and misery, and set up a global government of pernicious proportions. Echoing from 1937, here are the words of President Roosevelt:

"The test of our progress is not whether we add more to the abundance of those who have much; it is whether we provide enough for those who have too little."

Did he mean karmic progress or simply economic and societal progress? Perhaps all three or something else. And yes, I know that FDR was a 'new world order' promoter himself but with a Democratic flair. As for the Aquarian nature of his words it displays in his natal horoscope with Sun in Aquarius and Uranus rising in Mercury-ruled Virgo which identifies him as one who can cope with whatever arises--and, as he himself is recorded as saying--gave him talents such as those required to be an actor, juggler, and magician. As you know, Mercury is also The Trickster, and genius Uranus is considered the planet of progress, progressive politics, disruption, originality, novelty, shocks, and radical reforms.

Also of interest is that at the moment of his Inauguration Address of January 20, 1937, transit Pluto (plutocracy, the papacy, assassins, and such) @27Cancer34 precisely opposed US natal Pluto (27:33) denoting two great powers locked in a titanic struggle for control, wealth of nations included. Well, it's been 79 years since FDR spoke those Aquarian sentiments and Pluto now approaches his natal Capricorn position in our nation's July 4, 1776 chart. My thought is that whoever and whatever groups 1937 Pluto represented now consider themselves in the final stages of their campaign to rule the world in time for, or around the time of, America's first-ever Pluto Return/s in 2022. That this destructive plan so long Pluto's obsession has spiritual as well as societal, financial, and political implications is beyond the scope of this post.

Blog Note: annoyingly my Internet connection problems continue off and on which makes publishing articles rather spotty as well. Even so, here's a hint of the more immediate topics through Spring which are now on my Coming Soon list and awaiting a publish for those who may wish to stay tuned, follow, or subscribe to SO'W (and a Big Thank You to those who do!):

More info on the March 9, 2016 Solar Eclipse @19Pisces; the Lunar Eclipse of March 23 @3Libra; Mars' Rx Station conjunct Antares in April (followed next day by a Pluto Rx Station--already posted); the Transit of Mercury in May; June's Aries Ingress (or Spring Equinox 2016, as I prefer to call it--chart good for an entire year). And since New and Full Moons can act much as 'wild card' eclipses do, uncovering hidden things and timing other Uranian disruptions, I'll post on as many of those as possible given my schedule and interruptions due to Comcast X-finity's so-so service.
