March 2024 Trump Trial: a Lunar Eclipse

by Jude Cowell

Today NY Judge Juan Marchan confirmed that the criminal trial of Donald Trump will indeed go forward on March 25, 2024, the day of the Libra Lunar Eclipse displayed, below. Yes, it's difficult to keep all the 'Trump trials' straight, but this the one that concerns Trump's $130,000 hush money payment to Stormy Daniels in order to keep her quiet about their hook-up just a couple of weeks prior to Election 2016, because such a sex scandal might've "looked bad" to Trump voters - and perhaps keeping the illicit night of amour from Melania might have mattered to him.

So above is the Lunar Eclipse Horoscope of March 25, 2024 surrounded by a few of Trump's natal placements highlighted in blue. Primarily, this revealing eclipse lands directly upon agent orange's natal 2nd hou$e Neptune Rx (6Lib55), planet of secrets, fraudulent schemes, disguises, deception, ideals, and more. Of course, "disguising" his actions is what he tried to do, but testimonies from Stormy and others should hopefully remove the mask from his underhanded machinations. Naturally, Trump's natal Chiron and stationary Jupiter in Libra (the boundary-breaker, always whining it's not fair! when he's in a jam) are part of the action via the Lunar Eclipse and this will add additional energies to the complexity of the situation.

Of course, as with all Full Moons, relationships are major components of the Lunar Eclipse and the trial itself, particularly since it's in Venus-ruled Libra, sign of Partnerships and the Scales of Justice. Plus, full awareness and perhaps a culmination phase will be reached issuing from the planning/seeding stage at the New Moon of March 10, 2024 @20Pis17: that's Pisces, sign of secrets and confusion - unless the Piscean fish swims upward toward the higher realms.

So! My study notes are messily penned on the Lunar Eclipse Horoscope in case you want them. Examples include: Moon conjuncts the defendant's natal Neptune, Sun opposes his natal Neptune, Eclipse Mercury (testimony) squares Trump's natal Saturn, planet of realism, facts, karma, limits, accountability, authority, and the law. And as usual with this defendant, delays may occur or be attempted, and/or communications might be limited in some way. A gag order comes to mind.

Then squished into the aspect grid area are a few notes concerning the Eclipse's unaspected Saturn, plus, listed are cosmic links to the natal Sun, Moon, and Mars of Stormy Daniels. Additionally, a dear reader such as yourself will spy more planetary contacts, I'm quite certain.

Now to close, here's a famous quote from a fellow who shares the Sun Aries-Moon Libra combo of energies of this Lunar Eclipse, journalist-essayist-critic William Hazlitt:

"The love of liberty is the love of others; the love of power is the love of ourselves."

To me, this describes the tiresome, anti-societal Democrat v Republican stalemate used by US politicians against us with one party believing that taxpayer monies are for We the People's needs, while the other finagles all monies toward the wealthy class, while embezzling the rest.

Note: Hazlitt's natal chart has no accurate time but if you glance at it, you'll see multiple contacts from the Libra Lunar Eclipse of March 25, 2024, including the fact that the brilliant fellow is in the midst of a posthumous Pluto Return!

Stormy Daniels at the Hush Money Trial

by Jude Cowell, partisan for the common good

Now Donald Trump won't like this news at all, but Stormy Daniels says she's set to testify in Trump's Hush Money Trial currently set for March 25, 2024. Note that on March 25, 2024 comes a Lunar Eclipse @5Lib07 - conjunct Trump's natal Neptune so obviously, information concerning scandals, financial payments, secrets, and/or fraud will be revealed, plus, there may even be a mention of cults with urge-to-merge Neptune involved.

Because as you know, Stormy (aka, Stephanie Clifford) was one of the recipients of thousands of dollars in October 2016 intended to keep her quiet about Trump's extramarital activities with her because the November 2016 Election was upcoming and a sex scandal could look bad for candidate Trump. Not that his adulterous behavior was bad, but the scandal would have been a bad look for the aging orange playboy just days before the 2016 election.

From Reuters: Timeline of Trump's Alleged Hush Money Payments and Criminal Charges; and from CBS News: Trump's scheduled trial dates and where they fall in the presidential primary calendar.

Shown below is The Natal Chart of Stormy Daniels with Sappho Rising and Trump natal planets penned around the outside; as you see, a major connection is her Pluto conjunct his Jupiter; plus, transit Pluto @29Capricorn has been opposing her natal Jupiter Rx @29Can07 and her 8th cusp so the trial is a big-time Jupiter-Pluto situation about sex, money, and power:

Like Oil and Water, Politics and Religion Do Not Mix

So thanks to Stormy Daniels, the best information I've found explaining Trump's Cult of Personality and his profane mix of politics and religion is the podcast episode of Stormy's interview with Dr. Steven Hassan, well known cult deprogrammer and author of the 2020 book, The Cult of Trump (#ad).

Well, if Trump is in any way "the chosen one" as he's been told and promoted by evangelicals, then they're being tested and these misguided cult followers have failed America and the world miserably. According to the Bible I've read since childhood, Herr T is a false prophet, more like. For as you know, the Bible predicts false prophets arising in Earth's latter days. You know - like one year ago in the desert at Trump's first campaign stop, a rally at Waco, Texas where the tragic Siege at Waco took place in 1993. We should note that skewed cult leader 'David Koresh' considered himself a prophet, too. The Trump rally 'celebrated' the anniversary of the carnage of 1993.

Podcast: Beyond the Norm with Stormy Daniels

Now Dr. Hassan says that leaders of cults such as the Christian Nationalists, Moonies, The Family, the 7 Mountain Dominionists (like Maga Mike Johnson), Opus Dei, and others have instructed their members to gather beneath the gloriousness that is Trump on his path to ultimate political power where religionists think they can 'reform' the United States of America into a paternalistic theocracy, handmaids in the kitchen. And perhaps their advice to flock to Trump is so that their shared dream of ending our world can come true sooner rather than later, they think - as if Almighty God needs their puny help with timing issues! Paradoxically, a gold-worshiping man like Trump lays up his treasure on the Earth, therefore, ending this world cannot possibly be his goal. Oil and water do not mix!

Magical Thinking Fits His "Power of Positive Thinking"

Now as you know, Trump's accepted natal horoscope shows a 2nd house Jupiter-Neptune Conjunction in Venus-ruled Libra which just happens to have Wounded Chiron in the center of the magical thinking duo. This suggests that some kind of wounding occurred to his grand schemes/grand spirit/speculation/bubbly pair of Jupiter (stationary and boundary-breaking) and Neptune, so often a planet of fraud and deception. This means that every Jupiter Return for him and every transiting or progressed aspect between the two planets (their last conjunction April 12, 2022 @23Pis59--still in effect until their next conjunction March 24, 2035 @21Ari21) may ping his 2nd house trio into taking action such as overblown rhetorical flourishes and/or the promotion of financial schemes.

Meanwhile, back in 2022, when we discussed the Magical Thinking of Jupiter-Neptune and the duo's connection to overblown rhetoric, unfulfilled promises, grand schemes (religious, financial, and otherwise), and "unfounded or foolish legal situations" (M. Munkasey) I had no inkling that in 2024 the news would surface that the Cult of Trump, a death cult similar to the Nazi Death Cult of the 1930s and 40s, would so intimately involve magical thinking with multiple cult leaders having instructed their members to gather under the tent of the Trump Cult of Personality. For some folks, Chiron symbolizes the priesthood, too, and so certain groups have banded together behind Trump, the so-called "chosen one," to forcefully fulfill their shared goal, but they are being utilized as a tool by the political class who have their own power-grabbing purposes - and they have wealthy backers to please.

All the cultishness and more is detailed in the podcast episode linked below, in a discussion between host Stormy Daniels and, as noted, her guest Dr. Steven Hassan, a former Moonie cult member, who now deprograms cult members and, as previousy noted, authors books such as The Cult of Trump. Check out their informative interview:

Stormy Talks with MAGA Cult Deprogrammer Dr. Steven Hassan. It's well worth a listen!

And in case you've yet to see it, here's a link to the latest ad by The Lincoln Project So God made a dictator. Absolutely brilliant. But I suspect that Trump won't like this either.
