Felon nominee taps JD Vance as VP sidekick

by Jude Cowell, partisan for democracy

While at Yale University, JD Vance met future wife Usha Chilukuri who has law clerked for such justices as Kavanaugh and Roberts. White there, the pair collaborated to organize a discussion group focused on the topic, "social decline in white America." One can guess that Vance's best-selling book resulted in part from this study.

Word is, JD Vance converted to Catholicism about 5 years ago and we see his Neptune Rx @29Sag01 in his natal chart with Neptune's rounded-up Sabian Symbol, "The Pope Blessing the Faithful."

Now as a freshman US senator, Vance has been described as "a right-wing populist" and a "neo-reactionary." Born August 2, 1984 in Middletown, Ohio (Butler Co), the suave JD Vance can be willful and rebellious according to his Sun Leo-Moon Libra personality blend, detailed underneath his noon horoscope image.

August 2, 1984 "noon" Middletown, Ohio

Because the Moon remained in Libra for the 24 hours of his birthdate, we know that Mr. Vance was born under the influence of a fire-air Sun Leo-Moon Libra combination of conscious-unconscious energies. Fire-Air blends are charismatic "live wires" full of ideas and zeal, are long-winded with bluster and bombast - even to the point of getting carried away by their own rhetorical eloquence.

Plus, Sun Leo-Moon Libra is a bossy blend that is intellectually curious, a lover of luxury, and tends toward an imperious manner. Only his intellectual curiosity doesn't track with Herr Trump's personality! Additionally, Vance is a stubborn guy as is Trump so we'll see how their relationship proceeds.

And yet it may go well, for a while (at least until Vance outshines his narcissitic comrade) because Sun Leo-Moon Libra types have a darker, more serious side to them that can lead to controversy and provocative behavior - perfect for hurling accusations against political opponents. Perhaps this includes his past public assessment of Herr Trump as "America's Hitler." So who does Vance aspire to be: "America's Goebbles"?

But for now, their relationship may trend closer to one of Trump's touted "bromances"!

Weaknesses of this blend include: Vanity, unconscious snobbishness, self-righteousness about moral issues (a Catholic convert) who tends to lean on others without always acknowledging their support, and/or a lazy streak which may occasionally surface (Sun Sign-Moon Sign, Charles and Suzi Harvey #ad). He has changed his name, too, and was born James Donald Bowman.

Themes of the 4 North Saros Series

As for the Prenatal Solar Eclipse Saros Series ('PE') into which Baby JD was born, that would be the difficult 4 North Series which manifested for him on May 30, 1984 @9Gem26 conjunct US 1776 Uranus (8:55), and Trump's natal PE (8:46). Themes of 4 North include: restriction, restraint, inhibition, separation, and illusions. Obstacles occur and there's a tendency to misjudge strength or the situation (B. Brady).

4 North Eclipses have manifested in the years 1912, 1930, 1948, 1966, (1984), 2002, 2020 (Summer Solstice Eclipse June 21st @00Cancer), and next in 2038. Meanwhile, the initial 4 North Solar Eclipse occurred May 25, 1389 @12Gem08 with 1389 Pluto at the currently significant degree of 24Tau47, a disturbing cosmic time link with Herr T's natal Midheaven.

Possibly of interest: Events of 1389.

George Packer and the Recuperation of America

by Jude Cowell

"Equality and Self-Government are interconnected here," - George Packer

Monday June 28, 2021: As you might expect, my morning began with an informative interview posted to Al Franken's podcast of June 27th, George Packer on How It Got So Bad in America and How It Could Get Slightly Better which, in case you missed it, is a must-listen for those who care about our country and the direction the US is headed if we don't beneficially reform our ways. Suggestions for America's betterment are included.

In their wide-ranging interview, topics such as 'Newt Gingrich' ("It's Newt Gingrich," says George Packer: "There was nothing conservative about {him}, "He was a radical") which resonates perfectly with the subsequent radical reactionary Republican Party of our era, aka, the Tr*mp Party. As you know, in Political Astrology such terms describe chaotic planet Uranus, the Utopian zealot, anarchist, and radical reformer. And Tr*mp's 10th house Uranus in Gemini is his 'guiding planet' (last planet to rise before his Sun; fyi mine is 4th house Jupiter in Capricorn).

George Packer's latest book Last Best Hope: America in Crisis and Renewal is now available via Kindle and the audio version. #ad

Plus, another astrological point worth mentioning is a certain cosmic link: that Newt and Donald share the same personality blend of 'Peter Pan' and 'The Pied Piper' as noted in a previous post about Sun Gemini-Moon Sagittarius, the zodiacal polarity of truth vs falsehood-- integrity vs immorality--fact vs fiction axis through which Tr*mp brought us "fake news" and "alternative facts," among other bizarre, misguided things. Obviously, this polarity's communication-propaganda-'religious' vibes have played a large part in the success and eventual disgrace of both men, and Mr. Packer asserts that Gingrich was "consumed by the fire he lit," and that at some point Tr*mp will also be consumed (by his own conflagration).

Now for a cosmic look ahead you may wish to try Jupiter-Neptune Conjunctions of 2009 and 2022 (both horoscopes shown). Note that as I type in June 2021 and until their next Great Conjunction of April 12, 2022 @23Pis59, society remains under the 'dreamy' influences of the third of their three conjunctions in 2009. Follow the link to view the 'current' 2009 (until April 12, 2022) Jupiter-Neptune horoscope with its scandals, hypocrisy, fraudulent schemes, inflationary bubbles, dreams, visions, and political conflicts galore. Why, you may even wish to credit Jupiter-Neptune influence with the abundance of "UFO" sightings which now seem to be worthy of notice by some sectors participating in the public discourse such as the US military, mainstream media, and Politics. Is an "alien landing" of manipulation and fear being planned by the elite class? What do you think? jc

Fearful Predictions of 2012 and December 2012's YOD

Was the Winter Solstice 2012 YOD Predictive of America's Future?

by Jude Cowell

Deliriously predictive was Year 2012 with the Mayan Calendar "end of the world" theory perhaps the leader of the pack for it received the most eyeballs in news cycles across the globe.

At the time, a post on the NASA website weighed in with rational views concerning 2012 topics, fears, and various cataclysmic predictions such as the "Jupiter Effect", but although book sales must have been stellar back in the day, no cataclysm materialized 'thanks' to beneficent Jupiter or any other planet. The book, authored by two scientists, one an editor of the journal Science, made earthquake predictions based on the "Grand Alignment" of 1982 including solar cycle theories of the day, and made various predictions such as faultlines ripped open and the destruction of Los Angeles.

Well, here's a handy website with a list of 2012 fears, paranoia, and the theories that assailed us (and gripped some of us!) during the era, most of which involved 'end of the world' paranoia and fanaticism, plus, Planet X (Nibiru), UFOs, Nostradamus predictions, and other irrationalities, some of which continue to lurk within the Collective Unconscious of American society: see 2012 Predictions about the End of the World.

However, one horror that did occur in 2012 was the tragic Sandy Hook School Shootings of December 14, 2012. A case could be made for its timing as a watershed, or at least a brutal, event pointing toward future school and other mass shootings in the US although there were other murders committed before it. Meanwhile, the focus of this post is too narrow to include gun control issues yet in hindsight, and considering recent violent events and the fact that YODs act as timing devices and may also relate to health concerns, perhaps the Winter Solstice 2012 Horoscope with its Saturn-Pluto-Jupiter YOD does have something to say about the increase in violence and fanaticism which has driven the US into 2021 and beyond with a shout-out to those violent types (Saturn-Pluto) who had no tolerance for President-while-black Barack Obama. These days, those who favor a race war in US streets remain disgruntled with their rage simmering for they prefer the days of the Confederate Constitution! (Horoscope shown, see Mars and Pluto in intolerant Taurus with 2021's Uranus transiting between them: cruelty and violence.)

So as you see in the 2012 chart, expansive Jupiter, apex planet of the 2012 YOD along with US natal Uranus, is in the 6th house of Health and Service which includes Police, Military, and Civil Service, while mundane Jupiter plays roles such as the politician, the General, the corporatist, the banker, the guru, the thespian, the propaganda-promoter and the broadcaster (potentials are penned on the chart, highlighted in blue; both Mars 'the shootist' and the Anti-Vertex conjunct US natal Pluto @27Capricorn with karmic implications). Note that when Jupiter is activated as apex planet of a YOD pattern and he mishandles his opportunities, perilous or catastrophic conditions and events can result:

Now as you may remember, in Year 2012 the 2007/2008 financial crisis continued and remained a focus during the second term of Barack Obama (Saturn-Pluto loss points toward moneybags Jupiter--transit Jupiter to US Uranus: success with group causes). In fact, the Prenatal Solar Eclipse ('PE') of Winter Solstice 2012 @22Scorpio was also the PE of Inauguration 2013 (15 North = 'joy through commitment'--Brady) with solar eclipses in Scorpio always providing society with opportunities to make karmic progress while seeing down to the roots of our problems (aka, true or original causes). If memory serves, a sense of karmic progress was evident then via the election/s of Mr. Obama but as you know, klansmen and other regressive reactionaries were not content with such a societal shift. Thereby, Tr*mp's 'birtherism' propaganda was invented for future campaign use.

January 2021 Catastrophe: Executive Branch Attacks Legislative Branch

So my suspicion now in April 2021, is that you, the dearest of readers, already realize which NRA-loving political party in the US can better be described as 'radical reactionaries' who cling to the past, obsess over their dogmatic views, are enemies of all social progress, despise democracy, consider themselves superior because of skin color and stubbornly retain supremacist attitudes against "the other," and are ruthlessly determined to take control of the US government - as seen before our very eyes on January 6, 2021 when a 'MAGA Mob' of seditionists attempted to coup the US Congress in order to keep a corrupt, malcontent grifter in control of the White House.
