The Horoscope of Donald Trump Part 2

Part 2: The Indiscreet, Blustering Mr. Trump

by Jude Cowell

Yesterday we discussed the natal horoscope and planets of 2016 presidential candidate Donald Trump who is refusing to drop out of the race as top Republicans request. He says he will run as an Independent if he doesn't get the Republican nomination and after looking at his natal chart, and progressions including his Solar Arcs for Election Day 2016, I can see how he might have an impression of victory. After all, his huge! Jupiterian personality and links to royal star Regulus make all things seem possible, even taking over the highest office in the land and the Commander-in-Chief status that goes with it. And given his interest in the occult, perhaps Mr. Trump practices Astrology or has astrological insights to guide his decisions.

Today in Part 2, let's consider Mr. Trump's Sun Gemini-Moon Sagittarius personality blend with a word or two concerning his Pre-Natal Eclipse Saros Series themes and timings. But first...

Here is NOT (video was removed) Donald Trump responding to the McCain controversy (that he created) on This Week ABC--what the GOP can finally react to in full-throated condemnation in an attempt to squelch the inconvenient comments, candidacy, and public popularity of Mr. T:

~~~~~~~this is where the ABC video clip was embedded~~~~~~~

With Air-Fire combinations a 'live wire' quality is emphasized along with zealous communications that impress or intimidate all within earshot. Living at a fast pace, Mr. Trump gets carried away with his own rhetoric and is impressed by his own eloquence. Clever, witty, and charismatic, he reveals a contagious joie de vivre while coming across as a hot air balloon (or, a windbag) to many, a result of his communication style as a mentally active visionary under the influence of an irrational Mercury-Neptune square (see yesterday's post, linked above). Mr. Trump is an impatient and restless fellow who tends toward Utopian idealism (as do most US politicians, if truth be told.)

An extrovert who 'knows exactly what is good for' America, Mr. Trump prefers broad horizons yet tends to be emotionally immature and seemingly superficial. Sun Gem-Moon Sag adds certain tendencies as well such as flamboyance, outspokenness, independence, and spontaneity. An inquisitive 'eternal student' and "positive thinking" promoter, Trump insists on being true to himself. Not mentioned in yesterday's post is his natal Moon-Saturn inconjunct (150 degrees) showing that deep insecurity and feelings of inferiority lurk behind his bravado, probably instilled in him is childhood. In adulthood, social service is often used to mitigate this particular inconjunct which also contains feelings of guilt. More positively, its energies allow him to specialize--in his case, in financial deal-making and self-promotion. A desire to 'be where the action is' partially accounts for his presidential aspirations.

Having a talent for inspiring others, the vivid Mr. Trump possesses the nature of a used car salesman which some have called carnival barker, snake oil salesman, huckster, or something similar. Yet, even for Mr. Trump, motive matters and his interest in performing a social service may be more genuine than his inconvenient candidacy and ill-considered remarks will allow. He wants to discuss weighty matters with intellectuals yet his aggressive (Mars in egoistic Leo rising) communication style may be what keeps him within the superficial category in the opinion of most people.

Yet, as pundits say, he has 'tapped into something' that the public wants to hear--ye olde speaking truth to power comes readily to my Flower Power Generation mind. But as potential Trump voters may notice, cooperation and successful teamwork become more difficult to sustain as time goes by when it comes to working with Donald Trump and his extreme judgmental attitude allows no second chances for the hapless 'losers' he dislikes. If Trump fans want an autocratic dictator in the White House, one who likes to fire people but more flamboyantly than a Romney, they have such a choice with Donald Trump.

As for his fact vs fiction issues (underpinned by a Mercury-Neptune square of distortion), the highly sensitive (Moon-Saturn inconjunct) Mr. Trump will not or cannot take responsibility for his effect on others no matter how negative they may be. He's never asked God for forgiveness, he says, and apparently has yet to feel the need to do so. In his expansive private world where Communion involves mere crackers, no one can be surprised at his lack of humility before his Maker. And that's a major negative for evangelical voters!

Yet Donald Trump has not always slept upon a bed of roses. For one thing, there are cyclic issues to deal with via the 18.6-year occurrence of his Pre-Natal (PE) Solar Eclipse which is also his Syzygy Moon (last lunation prior to birth--he's an 'eclipse baby' which is often the case with notable public figures who lead eventful lives.)

His PE degree @8Gem48 conjoins America's natal Uranus (8:55), our totem planet of revolution, rebellion, freedom, independence, war, and sudden or shocking events. This hints at a lack of adaptability on Trump's part to the basic principles that our nation was founded upon and denotes quirkiness and unexpected events pending if he should enter the presidency--and perhaps a disruption of such Uranus-Neptune (*Enlightenment) principles. Falling within the 2 Old North Saros Series, his PE themes include difficult potentials such as unfortunate news concerning relationships and alliances, separations, and broken unions and partnerships. But no matter how glum things seem, taking fast action can bring positive results (paraphrasing Brady's Predictive Astrology.) This is Prince William's PE for he was born as another 'eclipse baby' at manifestation in 1982.

Update 2.21.16: the following paragraph contains minor edits. jc

The last occurrence of 2 Old North was on July 1, 2000 @10Cancer (among US planets in Cancer on July 4, 1776) and 2OldN's Uranian energies imprint upon the entire New Millennium; the next will be on July 13, 2018 @21Cancer. 2 Old North's initial eclipse occurred on July 24, 792 (OS) @5Can49 which either of you may recognize as the position of America's natal Jupiter on July 4, 1776 if that matters to America's future destiny that some voters and backers see as the presidency of New Yorker Donald Trump, real estate wheeler-dealer.

The Horoscope of Donald Trump June 14, 1946

Donald Trump, 2016 candidate and natural communicator, was born a small child at Jamaica Hospital in Queens, New York on June 14, 1946 at 10:54 am, with royal star Regulus rising over his 29Leo57 Ascendant along with warrior planet Mars in showy Leo.

Born during a Hour of Jupiter, planet of money, corporatism, and proselytizing, Mr. Trump's horoscope shows a stationary Jupiter about to turn Direct in 3 hours 11 minutes @17Lib27:07 (enlarge chart to read my notes if you wish--no time today to fully discuss the chart so perhaps I shall return another day to complete my notes for you!) Natal Jupiter is within one degree of America's Secondary Progressed (SP) Mars, the warrior, which turned retrograde by progression in Summer 2006. Washington's military over-expansion 'broke' it.

Quick Notes: Chart-ruler = Sun, and the only applying aspect by natal Sun in communicating, commerce-loving Gemini is a sextile to natal Mars in Sun-ruled Leo and this egoistic indicator points to one who is provocative, quarrelsome, and who may have a chip on his shoulder. An avid sports fan, this aspect describes an integral part of Trump's solar nature (being the closest aspect to his Sun) and underscores that he is a warrior always ready--or spoiling--for a fight. We've seen this tendency regularly from Mr. Trump through the years and no less so during his current bid for the Republican nomination for president as he stands up for his beliefs and lets the chips fall wherever. For while he's playing 'the hero' for America he is possibly a red herring candidate on behalf of another politician, party, or group of backers and we see that disruptive radical Uranus @17Gem53 (10th house) acts as the leading planet of a Bowl pattern.

Doh! If you enlarge the chart please pardon my 'indiscret' which should read 'indiscreet' for his Mercury-Neptune square!

A Bowl pattern or shape emphasizes hemispheric influences with the rim of Mr. Trump's Bowl the opposition between Uranus and the Moon @21Sag12 conjunct South Node, a karmic indicator of bad or awkward timing and previous abuse or misuse of wealth, power, and position. However, his up-and-down financial achievements are seen by a Sun-North Node conjunction on the other end of the Nodal Axis. Yet there is disruptive planet of shock and separation, Uranus, conjunct natal Sun which gives a maverick quality to his personality. Some see him as an original, inventive, genius and I unwillingly admit that he is--as long as he's following his solar direction and not letting the emotional difficulties found at Moon-SN take over his presentation. But what are the chances?

And yes, early troubles with parents are suggested by the Sun-NN, Moon-SN combination and even the popularity-inducing Sun-NN duo can cause problems if expansion, self-promotion, and over promising are carried too far. As you know, depletion of resources and bankruptcy have resulted for this boasting billionaire.

So with speech maker Mercury @8Can51 out-of-bounds (like some of his remarks criticizing others) we turn attention to his Mercury-Neptune square which is separating and thus unconscious. Perhaps Mr. Trump doesn't realize his Mercurial opinions often spring from his unconscious mind and spotlight a distortion of reality along with the square's tendency toward indiscretion and unintentional unreliability. Mercury square Neptune tends to identify an escape artist and he's usually able to escape the problems he brings on himself. And of course, the speculator-grand-schemer pair of Jupiter and Neptune are in a money house, the 2nd of Values and Earning Power, along with Chiron which some say relates to money and wealth, too. As a deal maker, his Mercury in savvy, business minded Cancer shouts his prowess at every opportunity and provides us with boastful touts of The Art of the Deal, his bestselling book.

Then with shady Pisces on the 8th cusp of Big Finance, Shared Resources, Credit and Debt, we find the magic touch of the Jupiter-Neptune influencing him as he speculates in real estate and the stock market--a perfect combination for what is essentially a 'used car salesman' type of personality, his Mercury-Neptune aspect included.

Yes, Donald Trump is actually a fascinating person to study even though I attempted to ignore his 2016 candidacy until being recently asked about his horoscope and his chances by a couple of people. There are several more chart factors of interest yet as I said, no time for all that now. But I have taken a quick peek at his planetary links to the November 8, 2016 chart and to my surprise, there are significant connections and possibilities for him.

But since this weekend he really 'stepped in it' by criticizing a Republican war hero, Senator John McCain, so this indiscretion may be the final over-the-line moment for the 2016 candidacy of Mr. Donald Trump who has made several careers out of breaking taboos and committing faux-pas no-nos. A non-server passing judgment on POW John McCain? How dare he? Yet the media continues to blab almost exclusively about 'Donald Trump'...ad nauseum, imho.

Well, he makes good copy since there's little he won't dare to say, consciously or unconsciously, and so we must see if his campaign survives until 2016 Election Day given his blurts and wild accusations, a karmic self-undoing. If he continues, I suppose his candidacy will be worth at least one more blog post, won't it?

And here is Part Two of the Horoscope of Donald Trump.

Astro-Notes on VP Joe Biden with cameos by Cecil Rhodes, President Obama, and Rachel Maddow

Astro-Notes on Vice President Joe Biden: November 20, 1942 8:30 am EWT Scranton, Pennsylvania, Cecil Rhodes, and a Few More Things...

by Jude Cowell

"From memory" says the data source for the natal horoscope of VP Joe Biden and if we take his data as factual we find that VP Biden's natal Sun @27Sco34 conjoins the natal Midheaven (MC = Goals; Aspirations; Public Status) of President Barack Obama. How nifty for the pair of them, heads bent together in the White House, Biden a Council on Foreign Relations man, a group that began originally as The Round Table founded by British empiricist and "Diamond King" of South Africa, Cecil Rhodes.

Rabbit Holes of Power: Makes No Difference Who Plays the Role of US President

An overview of the entire Global Government scheme is available for the hardy to read so if that is you, please see Chapter 22, Cecil Rhodes and his Knights of the Round Table where the submerged role in the US government and the Obama White House of VP Joe Biden may be revealed to you in all its splendid subterfuge and ultimate Utopian distopianism (though some Democrats are said to prefer subtle persuasion and propaganda while Republicans go more for the brutal conquest-enforcement model of Global Governance; either way, chaos and subsequent rebuilding are on the purposefully engineered Plutonian political and financial agenda.) As you know, VP Biden is also a member of the Bilderberg Group of World Planners, not one of the more popular secret-cabal packs of so-and-sos and self-imagined 'overlords' using the Hegelian Dialect ruse upon the public where they create the chaos (Thesis), then 'save' us from it (Anti-Thesis) while merrily shredding the US Constitution as they go.

Now on this difficult topic there is another page I recommend if you dare titled, the Council on Foreign Relations and the Round Table Group. You probably know a bunch about the Rhodes Trust and Rhodes Scholarships that were established under Rhodes' will (1902) and administered by his pal, international banker Nathan Rothschild of the House of Rothschild, master manipulators of the Plutonian kind. Naturally, this firmly ties into the Great Scheme viathe British Empire and its central banking system with the US banking system ('the Fed') along with top scholars who get to study at the University at Oxford.

Why, even my political 'splainer-in-chief of complex topics, the very intelligent (Rockerfellerite) MSNBC news host Rachel Maddow is a former Rhodes Scholar. Tap the BuzzFeed link, then scroll down a bit if you wish to see a photo (#13, no less) of her tossing the sign of the goat, Satan's sign, at you. Wish she hadn't let herself be photographed doing that.

So if you're unfamiliar with the centuries-old 'Great Plan' for a New Millennium 'new world order' to replace the then-new order begun with the founding of America in 1776, why not try a previous post Astro-Notes and Famous Quotes on the New World Order and see if it fits what you see going on around you in 2015? Okay, the post may be a dud but you won't know if you don't try it and please Re-tweet any of my articles for I've spent quite a few years at this freebie blogging thing and an occasional Re-tweet would be mighty nice of you! @judecowell

Arghh! Once More the MSM Touts the Will Biden Run for President? Memo

Now let's step off the 'new world order' ledge long enough to take a detached peek at the Water-Earth Sun Scorpio-Moon Taurus personality blend of Joe Biden and see if its potentials ring true based on the public persona that VP Biden has projected during these many years of political activity. If not, his Moon @00Tau59 may denote an earlier birth time with an "I AM the people" natal Moon in late Aries, ruled by activist Mars and denoting a workaholic crusader with a mission temperament when paired with the secretive, mystery-loving, hidden control, big business sign of Scorpio with its forceful Mars-Pluto vibes.

Sun Scorpio-Moon Taurus describes one who is drawn to the joys of life and to death matters and has an interest in the corruption of innocence, and as a US senator, he is known for sponsoring the Violence Against Women Act of 1994 (VAWA) with broad support in Congress. This blend contains the typical practical-and-supportive vibes of a Water-Earth combination though it may have a chauvinistic streak. Talents include a natural understanding of financial and economic realities, along with full dedication to loved ones.

Although stubbornness and a total blindness to the motivations of others may be noted, this blend's pragmatic wisdom is extremely valuable and may be noticed in its supportive role of a Vice President who may be something of a power-behind-the-throne actor in a similar mold as Dick Cheney to George W. was purported by pundits to be.

With Biden's Sun Scorpio-Moon Taurus blend, we find intense idealism which resonates with his CFR and Bilderberg leanings, plus, I heard him say to Bill Maher a few years ago that he's a Zionist though the clip seems to have disappeared (see video, below.) An ability to be a reliable touchstone for his friends is evident and it seems clear that President Obama leans on the rock that is VP Biden, a man who is, I believe, one of Mr. Obama's mentors as required by the president's natal 1st house Chiron in mystical Pisces. (Remember that the president experienced his 3-fer Chiron Return while in the White House.) Mr. Obama's natal Chiron opposes his 7th house Pluto (6 Virgo) denoting his ability to express such Pluto-Chiron themes of oppression and exploitation within the mass consciousness as he plays the White House mouthpiece, we might say, which is a primary role of the US presidency.

So! I just noticed while typing how easy it is to get off the topic of Joe Biden and onto other political actors! Well, maybe it's time to consider the Scorpio-Taurus Images for Integration provided so helpfully by Charles and Suzi Harvey in their book Sun Sign-Moon Sign which is a visual method for sussing out the integration of one's Solar conscious mind with the Lunar unconscious which results in a whole and fully functioning personality:

"A successful businessman probes the mysteries of life...A celebrated surgeon amasses a fortune...Pluto takes Persephone into the Underworld."

Of course I know that you, dear reader, can freely associate these images with what you know of the life of VP Joe Biden--one such being that he underwent two brain surgeries in 1988 and wasn't given very good odds of being 'normal'. And this isn't counting his son Beau's recent and tragic death from a brain tumor at age 46.

Now on a Global Politics level, let's close today's astro-notes with a clip of Joe Biden avowing himself to be a Zionist which makes him part of the political movement called Zionism (which is not the same as Judaism):

July 14, 2015 Pluto opposes Mars and SIRIUS for its historic New Horizons Flyby

Today's Pluto Flyby to Give a Closer Look at the Outermost Planet

July 14, 2015: During the dark of the Moon, the shady days leading up to the July 15th *New Moon @23Cancer--which conjoins US natal Mercury Rx--at 7:49 am ET today, NASA's New Horizons reached Pluto for its closest flyby and some sharper images sporting higher resolution than ever before seen will result of Astrology's planet of power, subterfuge, and death--Pluto. Speaking of death, Pluto discoverer (1930), Clyde Tombaugh, requested that his ashes be inside any spacecraft bound for Pluto...and so they are.

Astrologically, 'sharp analysis' is a potential within the midpoint picture now formed with Pluto opposing the Mercury-Mars conjunction in Cancer. At 13Can18, Mars is also out of bounds (of the earthly plane = outstanding activities) and conjoins SIRIUS, a star intimately linked to the founding of America. Mars and SIRIUS now conjunct US natal Sun (leadership; the president) by a mere one-minute orb.

In addition, from Earth's perspective, Pluto arose today with fixed star Toliman, aka Bungala (Alpha Centauri); key theme: learning and education that expand the worldview of others (paraphrasing B. Brady). Curiously, Mars arose today with a star that is also in the Centauri constellation: Agena (Beta Centauri); key theme: to have a mission. Both themes of these stars seem applicable to NASA's New Horizons project which culminated near Pluto today.

Considering that there is a 'clamoring for power' vibe to Mars-Pluto contacts, I hope such adventurous thrusts into the Solar System won't relate to or promote further breakthroughs (Jupiter still within orb of its 'scientific breakthrough' trine to technological Uranus) in the realm of Space Warfare intended to enable transnational globalists' long term mission of full implementation of total global control. You can tell I have trouble trusting the organization invented by nazi war criminals, the German scientists exported to the US after the war, can't you?

#NASA #NewHorizons #Pluto

*Note that the military exercises known as 'Jade Helm 15' are timed by the July 15, 2015 New Moon conjunct US natal Mercury Rx which also activates our nation's surveillance-oriented Mercury-Pluto opposition which is visually represented in once instance by the all-seeing eye at top of the pyramid of power on US currency, America's Great Seal, and elsewhere. See the video What Is Jade Helm 15?, a previous post which includes the horoscope of the Solar Eclipse that will herald the ending in mid-September of the controversial Pentagon program of militarism.

Watch South Carolina remove the Confederate flag from state capitol

History Made: Columbia, SC July 10, 2015 10:00 am edt Honor Guard Lowers and Removes the Confederate Flag:

This is the same Honor Guard that bore the coffin of State Senator Clementa Pinckney. Now, not only the flag is gone, but at about 2:00 pm edt today, the flagpole was also removed.

#SC #ConfederateFlag #TakeItDown #CivilWar #150years

July 10, 2015 SC State House removes Confederate flag!

July 10, 2015 South Carolina removes the Confederate flag from the State Capitol grounds

Yes, this particular Southerner is among the elated Americans that Governor Nikki Haley signed the bill yesterday to lower and remove the Confederate flag from the South Carolina State Capitol Building in Columbia at 10:00 am today.

Now if only bigotry itself could be lowered from its hateful flag pole and lose its idolizing worshipers!

And no, I don't think my Confederate ancestors are rolling in their sacrificial graves today since what we know as the 'Confederate battle flag' was never actually used as such during the Civil War and is a politics-based ideological fantasy spun by white supremacists (Klansmen) during the 1960s Civil Rights Movement.

Am I also proud of my Southern heritage? Of course. Some of my ancestors migrated to Georgia from Virginia. One, my 4th-great grandfather on my paternal side, was born in Christiansburg, VA on December 25, 1776 (an easy date to remember!) But being proud of your Southern heritage is no justification for the savagery of racism which makes a very scanty shield to hide your cruelty behind while burning crosses and committing murder.

Taking a peek at today's horoscope set for 10:00 am edt Columbia, South Carolina, we find the Venus-Jupiter pair in late Leo (optimism) rising over an early Virgo Ascendant with a MC (Goal) at a 29th critical degree that if rounded up, gives a Sabian Symbol of "A Peacock Parading on an Ancient Lawn." At IC, the Foundation of the Matter is the opposite degree of 29Sco20, the position of US Inaugural Moon 2009, the "A Halloween Jester" degree (30Sco). There is authoritative Saturn Rx @28Sco41--conjoining President Obama's natal MC and dampening--or rewarding--the spirits of the American people (Inaugural Moon).

Applying aspects of the chart-ruler Mercury (@3Can17 in 11th house and conjoining US natal Venus) show how things may proceed from this event and there are two major aspects: a trine to Neptune in Pisces (7th house) denoting the successful use of mass media and the faith-based motives of the victims' families who received the 9 pens Governor Haley used yesterday to make this event possible, and a conjunction with aggressive Mars (7A25) which hints at the partisan speeches and political opinions that will be forcefully expressed in coming days, weeks, even months, over this issue--including the upcoming KKK rally.

Perhaps today's progress in SC (the first state to secede) on jettisoning crusty old grievances will uplift We the People on a karmic level! Yet this must depend on how genuine are the feelings and motives of the actors (politicians and enablers) involved. Is today's flag lowering merely a theatrical farce? Can the scheduled KKK rally on July 18th mar the good intentions of family-oriented South Carolinians? Are publicity and grinning photo ops the point of today's ceremony intended to resolve a difficult political situation and improve business opportunities in the state? The first US planet to rise in the 10 am chart is, after all, America's deceptive, media and the masses planet Neptune in Virgo though we may hope that compassion and faith are suitably attached!

And maybe we'll find that two of the Images for Integration apply to SC's flag removal as given by Charles & Suzi Harvey in their Sun Sign-Moon Sign book:

Sun Cancer-Moon Taurus: "A family photo album...A flourishing family business."

Motives always matter, of course, but either way, it will be a relief to yours truly that the spiteful rag come down.

Natal YOD of NYSE activated by Trading Halt July 8, 2015

July 8, 2015 Strife on Wall Street: The NYSE Experiences a Major 'Halt' of Trading

by Jude Cowell

The founding data of the New York Stock Exchange is based on the 'Buttonwood Agreement' of May 17, 1792 but it's the NYSE Reorganization horoscope of May 11, 1869 that contains a crisis-laden YOD pattern with a Uranus-Pluto sextile pointing toward natal Saturn Rx @15Sag33. The YOD was activated or triggered at the halt of trading yesterday (July 8, 2015 11:32 am edt NYC). Apparently there was a crisis in 1869 which required the 1792 stock exchange to be reorganized and those energies have carried forth into 2015, always subject to transits and progressions.

Both horoscopes (1792 and 1869) remain operative for the Wall Street casino they call the NYSE and though the trading volume of the exchange is much less than it once was (10% these days but only 2% at 11:32 am yesterday!), the crisis situation of the "internal tech glitch" that shut down their computers after a morning of lower volume and messages sent out concerning gateway issues resonates with the implications of a natal YOD and the pattern's crisis/turning point and special task connotations. Even the health of the NYSE and other markets around the globe could be affected by yesterday's halt. Will there be more such events to come?

Since natal Saturn (1869) is in Jupiter-ruled Sagittarius, we know that the gentry of the NYSE like to retain their control, authority, and power which were lost for 3 hours and 38 minutes yesterday as technicians worked to bring the exchange back to life (reopened at 3:10 pm edt with the transiting Pluto-Chiron midpoint of Plutocracy exactly conjunct IC). This position for Saturn also denotes those for whom reputation is of primary importance, and pundits began speaking of loss of confidence and the image of the NYSE while the outage was in progress. No doubt we will hear more of such suppositions as the story plays out in the media.

Besides the YOD emphasis on the 1869 Saturn, the planet is also the 'handle' of a Bucket pattern of planets and as such, provides a release point for the natal energies (planets) in the horoscope and shows an uncompromising direction of the NYSE's purpose with undertones of the Jupiterian influence of Sagittarius. That Jupiter and Saturn are the 'societal planets' and their cycle relates to markets, investments, and finances spotlights their basic expansion vs restriction principles of our dualistic world.

A further consideration underscoring the Uranus-Pluto-Saturn YOD in the 1869 natal chart is the ongoing Uranus-Pluto Cardinal Square (Aries to Capricorn) under which the world has been groaning with its last exact square on March 16, 2015 and more of its unrest and upset to come. In addition, we may wish to detail the potentials of the midpoint picture formed by the trio in the YOD which was activated by yesterday's Sun @16Can00--and instigator Mars @9Can26, out-of-bounds and representing an out-of-the-mainstream element that may have instigated a hack attack:

Uranus-Pluto = Saturn: exposure to extreme pressure from others; self-will; egosim; hatred (Ebertin); persisting despite obstacles on the path toward reform (Munkasey); tendency toward autocratic leadership; "my way is the best way"; pressure from others; toppled from position (Tyl.)

Plus, hidden hints exist if we substitute the natal Uranus @14Can26 conjunct US natal Sun and SIRIUS) with yesterday's transiting triggers, Sun and Mars (planet of attacks including those of a 'hacked' variety):

Sun-Pluto = Saturn:separation by a higher power; ruthless overcoming of obstacles; restriction (imprisonment) (Ebertin); a potential for fanatical ventures or destructive tendencies (Munkasey); potential loss through power struggle (Tyl.)

Mars-Pluto = Saturn: leaving no stone unturned in pursuit of a particular task (Ebertin); lessened personal power (Munkasey); hard, hard work; extraordinary discipline is needed and usually pays off (Tyl.)

Well, there's my brief analysis of yesterday's NYSE crisis as viewed through the lens of the 1869 YOD with its 'special task' and crisis potential. There is much more to consider in both the 1792 and the 1869 reorganization horoscopes so perhaps you may set them up and have a look, and if you do, you'll spy the Halt's restrictive Saturn Rx @28Sco45 sitting precisely upon the NYSE's 1792 IC, the Point of Endings, Separation, and The Drain!
