Kyrsten Sinema needed at the border

Senator Sinema is a Moon-Saturn Kind of Gal

by Jude Cowell

So far these last few years, I've managed to avoid publishing the natal horoscope of former Democrat, now "Independent" Senator Kyrsten Sinema. But with her name in the news again in relation to US-Mexico border issues, her natal Moon-Saturn opposition across the self-willed Leo-Aquarius polarity - which lands upon America's 1776 Nodal Axis - may be worth a review if one hasn't previously. Actually, that would be yours truly, for I've ignored her disloyalty and money-grabbing activities in Congress as often as possible.

Now if memory serves, Sinema's childhood is known to have been a difficult one of poverty, as many others have been. One indication of this in her chart is the Moon-Saturn opposition between Mummy and Daddy, if we want to consider it on such a level with emotional deprivation part of the lunar picture. Thing is, this opposition tends to affect health but can simultaneously provide the individual with a deep urge for wordly accomplishment, or in other words, it suggests a highly ambitious nature. Self-reliance comes along with it and can often give a loner personality and an independent streak.

My concern now is Election 2024, the changes it will bring, and the fact that Sinema's natal Moon conjuncts US South Node (fluctuating popularity; emotional disengagement) while her Saturn conjuncts US North Node (public responsibility; contacts with more mature folk such as senators). Now I agree that her 10th house of Career and Public Status is stunningly full of her Sun, Mercury, Venus, and Saturn so chances are we're not rid of her just yet, no matter what career path she decides to take. Lucrative lobbying seems to attract but may not be prominent enough to suit her ambitions. After all, her money-bags planet Jupiter is in the 8th house of Big Business and Shared Resources, while erratic Uranus and North Node, a duo of radical politics, rise in 1st house of Self, making the highly intelligent Kyrsten Sinema definitely a woman to watch - and a difficult woman to fathom or predict!

Meanwhile, Republicans continue calling conditions at the Southern border a "crisis" of national security yet they refuse to cooperate on a solution because it would benefit President Biden and other Democrats. Selfish much?! Well, one must wonder just how security-minded Republicans are - if they are.

And so admittedly, if Kyrsten Sinema can somehow loosen the political log jam concerning Southern border issues, I'll have to change my view of the quirky Senator from Arizona.

"Reign Of Terror" and the Fixed Grand Cross Eclipse

by Jude Cowell

October 5, 2021: If you're a reader with 18 minutes to spare, you could spend your time much worse than watching 'Reign Of Terror' author Spencer Ackerman interviewed on the Amanpour & Co channel: How the 9/11 Era Destablized America and Produced Trump (#ad). Mr. Ackerman's book is based on his years of national security journalism and reporting on such topics as the victimization across the globe by the so-called 'American Imperialism' tyranny and the loss of our civil liberties in the US since 9/11. The book details events from the Oklahoma City Bombing (horoscope shown) to the Mob Attack of January 6, 2021 ('1/6') with what I'll call 'red hats tips' to demagogue Tr*mp, racism, and the white supremacy movement he spearheaded into the mainstream as if it belongs there.

Speaking as an American who has never been certain that the 9/11/01 WTC attack/s were not inside jobs, 'Reign Of Terror' has been published none too soon. And speaking astrologically, I continue to feel that the 1 North King of Terror Eclipse of August 11, 1999 (the problematic eclipse that Nostradmus pointed toward so long ago - see chart, below) holds many dark clues with its rigid Fixed Grand Cross of Sun-Moon-Mars-Saturn-Uranus, and, if you prefer to count it, the Nodal Axis of destiny, manifesting at or very near mid-degrees of the Fixed signs (Taurus-Scorpio/oxen-eagle points, Leo-Aquarius/lion-angel points) - with the four signs' associated animals mentioned in The Book of Revelation.

So now in 2021, in spite of the earth changes now afflicting the globe which are promised to be worsening, you, dear reader, may choose to disagree that humanity is in 'the last days'. Well, of course it's your right to disagree as you wish. Not that I give up hope for mankind at all but simply to face reality if such a difficult reality is soon to be upon us. (Remember I'm a Saturnian astrologer who sees DNA and genetics in horoscopes - the only 'past lives' I find in charts are generational and ancestral!)

So below you see the August 11, 1999 King of Alarm Horoscope with its Fixed Grand Cross and note that Mars-Saturn is the 'death axis' according to Reinhold Ebertin - squaring erratic Uranus (shocks and sudden events) = 'applying brute force; loud, brash disruptions; separation; death' (M. Munkasey; R. Ebertin):

Now the 1999 King of Terror (or, ' of Alarm') Eclipse is member of the 1 North Saros Series with themes of: 'unexpected events place great pressure on personal relationships and groups; issues loom large so make no hasty decisions until influences pass; information is distorted or possibly false; fatigue and/or health problems' (paraphrasing Predictive Astrology by Bernadette Brady #ad). To me this sounds much like events within the 'New Millennium'. And as you know, the 1 North family is also called, The Mother Of All Eclipses because it's number one and this makes it particularly prominent and influential upon earthly events whenever it appears in the 18.6-year eclipse cycle. Additional information can be gleaned from the fact that the initial eclipse in the 1 North family began on January 4, 1639 @13Cap38 (opposite US Sun on July 4, 1776) which means that all 1 North eclipses can be viewed through a Saturnian/Capricornian lens.

Meanwhile, forming a cosmic time link into the second decade of the New Millennium, is the Great American Eclipse of August 21, 2017 @29Leo, also a member of the 1 North family - and it 'eclipsed' the natal Ascendant of one Donald Tr*mp (who infamously removed safety glasses and looked directly at the total eclipse - are his squinting eyes affected by this now?).

So! As a follow-through we might think to wonder when is the next 1 North Solar Eclipse? That solar eclipse will arrive on September 2, 2035 @9Virgo, a degree eclipsed before and which, if I typed about it here, would turn this brief post into an e-book and neither of us want that, am I right?

Exposing Republican's Malicious-- Christmas Plans?

October 30, 2019: Here's a segment from today's Thom Hartmann broadcast in which Thom reiterates his famous Two Santa Claus theory because he sees Republicans beginning to use it yet again:

And you know that to distract from his impeachment woes, Trump would just as soon pull another government shutdown as mismanage the US economy in some other way, or endanger our national security for the benefit of his pal Putin, right?

Plus, speaking of Christmas 2019 reminds me of our previous discussion concerning the December 26th Solar Eclipse that ends 2019 with Jupiter-Pluto issues, and how the Jupiter-Pluto duo relates to plutocrats, to the Federal Reserve, to other domestic and global banking and investment matters, and to large-scale project managers, contractors, and wheeler dealers of all kinds.
