Astrological comments on America, on Washington DC, and on the politicians who infest them...with a gentle sprinkling of world events

Delving into the Mysteries you are?
Here are links to three online resources for those who are delving or wish to delve into what may be called, the Mysteries, or the Occult, in relation to Politics and the establishment of a new order that is now in progress of creating global chaos so that the Novus Ordo Seclorum of 1776 can be replaced with a more stringent model as the 'New Millennium' proceeds.
As for Political Astrology and timing of such issues, you may remember that the last US presidential election of 2012 occurred under the auspices of a Saturn-Uranus opposition which describes the status quo old order (Saturn) in a stand-off with the new order represented by disruptive Uranus--and conflict ensues, as we see. Of course, their recent opposition issues from the last (and current) Great Conjunction/s of Saturn and Uranus which perfected three times in 1988 in the 27-30 degree range of Sagittarius with deceptive Neptune soon chiming in for a triple conjunction (1989) not seen since the 15th century:
Secret Societies and Subversive Movements by Nesta H. Webster, the ancient history of George Washington's family, and A Cosmic History of the Illuminati.
Another great resource for unusual topics is The 'X' Zone Radio-TV Show with host Rob McConnell broadcasting from Canada. Yours truly is scheduled to be interviewed by Rob this Thursday August 6, 2015 at 10:00 pm EDT so I hope you'll tune in Thursday or catch a podcast at your convenience!
Last Week Tonight with John Oliver: Washington DC Statehood (HBO)
In case you missed it: last night's commentary on Washington DC's lack of representation in Congress by John Oliver is a must-see!

What Did Rachel Carson Discover? "Silent Spring" - C-SPAN interview
Quite a while back I published the natal horoscope of Rachel Carson with a few details and here it is as previously displayed:
Curiously, Carson's Pre-Natal Solar Eclipse Series is the 17 South and prior to her birth, 17S manifested @22Cap56. I say curiously because 17S happens to be the Series we are now in since the Spring Equinox Solar Eclipse @29Pis27 is in effect until at least September when a new eclipse occurs @20Vir10 in the 18 North Series. As you know, 29Pis27 conjoins the Aries Point (00Ari00:00) of World Manifestation, Prominence, Recognition, and Fame but the 29th degree of any sign is a critical-crisis degree. And actually, I believe the 17S eclipse remains in effect for the year until Spring Equinox 2016 in tandem with the Aries Ingress 2015 horoscope.
(An eclipse near the Saturnian South Node of the Moon indicates that energy rushes out of the chart, not in, as with a Jupiterian North Node eclipse.)
In addition, the March 2015 eclipse conjoins Carson's natal Ascendant and in my estimation describes the desperate condition of planet Earth now that Robber Barons and their plundering descendants (both biological and ideological) have pillaged so many of our planet's resources, then refused to take responsibility for the messes they leave behind--or will leave behind with the carnage ongoing. No one can say that Rachel Carson didn't warn us.
So now we're being warned yet again via the 2015 Spring Equinox Solar Eclipse at crisis point...

Virgo August 2015 - Steve Judd, video
Not everyone was born with planets, angles, or nodes in Mercury-ruled Virgo, but we all have the discriminating, purifying, scientific sign located somewhere in our natal horoscopes. Here's astrologer Steve Judd giving an overview of August 2015 for the sign of Virgo, the Virgin (and the sign of Washington DC!), including the July 25th Retrograde Station of Venus @00Virgo46 (Direct Station Sep 6th @14Leo23), and transit Jupiter entering Virgo on or about August 12, 2015:

What is a Diurnal Chart? - David Cochrane explains
Know Thyself!
If you've ever set up a diurnal chart for yourself or others, you know it's a good way to keep up with personal affairs. And it's most revealing to set up a series of them which works well for those who regularly keep dream diaries:

In the News: Madagascar June 26, 1960
Between a famous lion meeting a tragic fate to mysterious washed up airplane wings, Madagascar is being mentioned multiple times in the news of late so I'm posting details for anyone who wishes to set up a natal horoscope for Madagascar which gained independence from France on June 26, 1960 as the Malagasy Republic. Celebrations were held during that morning but as Nicholas Campion mentions in The Book of World Horoscopes, a time of 00:00 hours would be the normal French practice and this gives an Ascendant of 6Ari11.
If you set up the chart, you'll see Madagascar's Midheaven (MC, the most visible point in any horoscope) @5Cap59 and natal Saturn @15Cap57 Rx in the public 10th house, and ruler of Capricorn. I note this because astrological Pluto is one of the major indicators of death and power (both power's use and abuse) and transit Pluto has recently crossed the MC of Madagascar, and has and will again conjoin natal Saturn. From these astrological conditions it is no surprise that such tragic issues are in the news and are affecting Madagascar's public reputation and status (MC). And as you know, both Saturn and Pluto are considered karmic planets that can bring weighty events stemming from the past and into the present. Actually, the two are in friendly, cooperative mutual reception since transit Saturn retrograded back into Scorpio.
Of course there are several other chart factors of note such as chart-ruler Mars in Taurus (2nd house) opposing Neptune Rx in Scorpio in the 8th house of Big Business, Transformation, and Death so perhaps you'll wish to calculate the horoscope of beautiful Madagascar and see what you can see concerning this double Water Sun Cancer-Moon Cancer locale well known for its amazing waterfalls.

Comcast Orders MSNBC To Remove Anti-TPP Hosts - video
The Ed Schultz show on MSNBC has been targeted for cancellation by behemoth Comcast, a corporation that helped write the draconian, corporate-based, anti-democratic TPP trade "deal". My hope is that Mr. Schultz will continue broadcasting on radio if not on another TV channel because I greatly appreciate his work on behalf of the Common Good:
Repeal #CitizensUnited #Corporatism #TPP #MSNBC #NBC #EdSchultz
See Who Owns Comcast? or in this case, what broadcast entity does Comcast own since 2011 so that bossing around MSNBC is possible?
As the power elite well know, Corporatism + Statism = Fascism.
George Carlin On 'Pro-Life' Conservatives - video
Here's George Carlin telling the truth about conservatives and what they really mean by their "pro-life" stance as they utilize the abortion rights issue as a wedge to divide the American people and keep us riled up:
Did I witness comedian George Carlin making these very remarks when I saw him in concert in the 1960s? I don't know. But since we're already stuck in the 2016 campaign mode I'm glad I found this YouTube clip to show you now!

A 40th anniversary: Jimmy Hoffa in the news--new evidence?
Jimmy Hoffa in the News Again After 40 Years
by Jude Cowell
Wow! It is reported that New Evidence Emerges on Jimmy Hoffa's Fate so the prominent and currently in force Spring Equinox Solar Eclipse @29Pis27 is really doing its 'secrets may be revealed' job on many issues including this 40-year mystery! And manifesting less than one degree from the Aries Point (00Ari00:00) as the eclipse did, the Hoffa disappearance in 1975 was a major scandal broadly publicized at the time and it is now resurfacing.
And the Hoffa case resurfaces under the sway of a Solar Eclipse at a critical-crisis 29th degree--and in Pisces, one of the more secretive, shady signs of the Zodiac.
Now three or four computers ago, I had Jimmy Hoffa's natal and 'disappearance' horoscopes in my astrology files but lost them (and a lot else) in a pc crash last year. And since I'm in process of preparing for a radio interview (evening of August 6th--more on that later!) I won't take time to set up the charts again or consider this 40-year (Venus Cycle!) matter in detail though I would like to when my schedule permits. Yes, my interest in Forensic Astrology is re-piqued by the Hoffa case but Political Astrology and the 2016 Election must take precedence for now.
So for those who may wish a peek, here is the astrodatabank page on Jimmy Hoffa with a few bio details, plus his natal chart if you click or tap to view it. Hoffa disappeared on July 30, 1975 so today is actually the 40th anniversary of his disappearance (aka, murder, aka, assassination.)
And since his birth data (see below) is rated AA (BC/BR in hand: collector: Steinbrecher) we see he was born under and imprinted by a Sun Aquarius-Moon Taurus blend (Air-Earth) of the eccentric entrepreneur who is ambitious, capable, tenacious, friendly, and as sensual as Ferdinand the Bull. Temperamentally, Hoffa was a reformer and could be smug, arrogant, and reluctant to listen to the views of others. Let's close with a rather curious Image for Integration for Hoffa's Sun AQ-Moon Taurus personality blend as given by Charles and Suzi Harvey in Sun Sign-Moon Sign:
"The resident caretaker of a 'New Age' community sips his Beaujolais as he systematically does the year's accounts."
In Hoffa's case, "accounts' must refer to his hidden accounts as well!
