Oct 8, 2018 Libra New Moon conjunct US natal Saturn

A New Cycle in the Saga of America's Libran Scales of Justice?

by Jude Cowell

On Monday October 8, 2018 at 11:47 pm edt, a New Moon perfects at 15Lib48 conjunct US natal Saturn (14:48) and denoting the beginning of a new cycle of activity in the realms of Saturn. That the Libra New Moon conjoining our national Saturn relates currently to the highly unpopular Kavanaugh seating on the Bench of the Supreme Court as a new term for the Justices begins seems obvious but in this complex universe of ours, this can hardly be the only result.

Upon reflection, my suspicion from within our two-tiered justice system, is that one result has to do with legal planet Saturn's realms of lawmaking and enforcing, responsibility, realism, authenticity, and accountability. For more details see David Sorota's article America's New Aristocracy Lives in an Accountability-free Zone in which Brett Kavanaugh is mentioned along with several other topics that lesson-bringer and taskmaster Saturn cannot possibly be pleased with. Naturally, Donald Trump's imperative that it be Kavanaugh on the Bench is noted because Brett is in favor of expanding presidential power (without accountability thus placing POTUS above the law) and will work to destroy states' rights to hold the powerful accountable for their crimes through state prosecution. Other far right SCOTUS decisions will be forthcoming, their degrading effects unknown but suspected at this time.

Yes, America's exalted-in-Libra natal Saturn has been under fire for decades (if not centuries!) and it became notably obvious in recent memory during the presidency of Bill Clinton when, in 1996, US natal Saturn turned retrograde by progression and has for years, been in early Scorpio rather than the legal eagle planet's more upstanding, comfortable position in Libra so that America's tradition of (Saturnian) reliability began to fade into Mars-Pluto-ruled Scorpio's brooding darkness and obstinacy.

And note that today's position of transit Saturn conjoins US Progressed ('SP') Moon (The People) which, as I type, falls at 2Cap31, a depressive, oppressive influence that a majority of the populace feels via the Kavanaugh confirmation and the expected negative results from Bart's future SCOTUS decisions which are expected to sway the court toward far right conservatism.

And since the horoscope of the New Moon in Libra links to the Pentagon's natal chart (plus, the New Moon chart's angles conjoin its natal angles--with US SP Jupiter Rx @15Cancer conjunct the Pentagon's natal ASC), below is our death star's natal chart with the Libra New Moon chart surrounding it. Notes are penned on if you care to enlarge the image where you'll see transit Saturn @3Cap24 in Pentagon's natal 6th house of Military, Police, and Civil Service inconjunct natal Pluto @3Leo30 (which conjoins its natal Chiron = plutocracy). Transit Saturn also opposes the Pentagon's natal Mars, the warrior planet (see notes on chart, lower right). Transit Pluto @18Cap46 is angular (conjunct Descendant) and, as you see, has entered the Pentagon's natal 7th house of Open Enemies and Partnerships from where Pluto squares the Pentagon's natal 4th house Moon @20Lib32, a period of obstacles placed upon desires. This Pluto also inconjuncts natal Jupiter (@20Gem59 in 12th house of Politics, Karma, and Self-Undoing) indicating opportunism is underway--that someone is 'victimizing' the Pentagon to satisfy their own personal objectives. Now who in Washington would do such a thing?

Well, 20Gemini points directly toward Trump's natal Sun-NN-Uranus trio and also toward America's natal Mars in Gemini which brings in our national Mars-Neptune square of misguided motivations and wasted energy which happen to be the themes of the Pentagon's Prenatal Solar Eclipse (@25Pis45--conjunct its Midheaven, the Goal Point!) in the 16 South Saros Series (see note on the chart). A 16 South solar eclipse last manifested on April 29, 2014 @9Taurus conjunct the Pentagon's natal Sun (8Tau38) and the next 16S won't occur until May 9, 2032 @19Taurus--conjunct the Pentagon's natal Mercury (19Tau07 in 11th house). Misdirection and waste indeed.

Oct 5, 2018 Kavanaugh Senate Vote as Venus turns

As I begin to type October 5, 2018 10:30 am edt, the Senate is said to be voting or are about to vote today on passing Brett Kavanaugh's name on to tomorrow's final vote on his confirmation to the US Supreme Court. My blogging time is brief this Friday morning so I'll simply publish the 10:30 am edt horoscope set for the Capitol Building with the 'noon' natal horoscope of Judge Kavanaugh around it and note the continued frothiness of the Jupiter-Neptune influences, plus the fact that Kavanaugh was born under the same problematic vibes of a Mercury-Neptune square that tends to live in its own imaginary world and have other tendencies which may be read about here:

You see Venus in sexy Scorpio at Station Direct and turning retrograde at 3:04 pm edt while still holding true are the things we've discussed about transit Jupiter opposing Kavanaugh's natal Jupiter (he's unimpressive--ask retired Justice Stephens) and Jupiter conjoining off and on his natal Neptune, a time of pretense, acting, and presenting qualities that one does not actually have--in other words, misrepresenting one's character. As for Venus changing direction on this particular day during this particular event, we might wonder if a lady (Venus) will be reviewing or reversing (Rx) her testimony or perhaps her vote, one way or the other.

Is There Anyone Left for Donald Trump to Con? - clip

October 3, 2018:

Support The Thom Hartmann Show via his patreon page.

Yes, these days veiling Neptune floating through its own sign of secretive Pisces is having its eroding way with the truth these days but Truth was, is, and will always be the real deal, a Saturnian sort of thing!

For as you know, the world operates within the cycle of Saturn realism and Neptune illusion, the last cycle of which began in 1989 with a three-fer Great Conjunction of Saturn and Neptune (three due to planetary retrogression):

1. March 3, 1989 @11Cap55

2. June 24, 1989 @11Cap14

3. November 13, 1989 @10Cap22

As you see by the dates, these conjunctions perfected just after the 1989 Inauguration of Bill Clinton on January 20, 1989 and put a firm Saturn-Neptune imprint upon Bill Clinton, his presidency, and his administration. Welfare reform and attempted healthcare reform are areas that first come to mind under Bill Clinton because of the association of social welfare, poverty, and illness with the Saturn-Neptune pair.

And for those of us who use a late afternoon July 4, 1776 horoscope as America's natal or founding chart, there's the 10th house Saturn and the 9th house Neptune on either side of the MC (Midheaven; The Goal). Among other things, this pair's blended energies represent materialism (Saturn) vs Idealism (Neptune), a basic struggle for our nation since day one. And it can also indicate 'secret' or 'invisible' (Neptune) government (Saturn) and Democratic Socialism which is the form of government that I believe a majority of Americans prefer (since Medicare and other successful programs are socialistic). This form of government supports life rather than the inherent death and suffering embedded within austerity programs, no matter their label or moniker.

And of course, the 10 to 12 degree range of Capricorn opposes America's natal Sun (13Cap19; leadership) so that deceptive activities and schemes have found a nourishing base in which to flourish and deceptive business practices are constantly exposed if not held accountable in any significant way--all behavior approved of by fraudulent Neptune. There is a positive side to astrological Neptune, as you know, but we're considering politics here, that "organized system of hatreds." Obviously transit Saturn will again oppose US natal Sun, exact in mid-January 2019 when the challenge of Saturnian accountability comes to call.

And when transit Saturn (today @3Cap11) moves within orb of, then conjoins, the 1989 conjunction degree of 10Cap22 in November 2018 (and of influence into January 2019), we may see authority figures and/or senior folk getting to the heart of the truth concerning matters that have previously eluded public knowledge because taking on such tedious tasks will be the order of the day--as it is already. And since a three-fer planetary conjunction denotes an extended period of time, my hope is that Truth will hold sway long enough to make a real difference in America and for the American People and the world now being run by criminal syndicates.

Did Trump Learn from Joseph Goebbels?

"If you tell a lie big enough and keep repeating it, people will eventually come to believe it. The lie can be maintained only for such time as the State can shield the people from the political, economic and/or military consequences of the lie. It thus becomes vitally important for the State to use all of its powers to repress dissent, for the truth is the mortal enemy of the lie, and thus by extension, the truth is the greatest enemy of the State." Joseph Goebbels

If you wish, check out Goebbels' accurately timed horoscope (RR: AA) with its Neptune-Pluto conjunction in Gemini and said Neptune, planet of fraud, delusion, deception, and propaganda @22Gem13 masking the natal Sun of Donald Trump which is a perfect picture of two propagandists who use lies (the bigger the more effective) to influence people, make fools of them, and promote whatever cause they couldn't promote at all if the truth were admitted.

Now as you know, one major clue that someone is a liar is the constant use of phrases like, "Believe me". Well, in case you missed it, here's a 5-minute video segment of Jimmy Kimmel celebrating Trump's 2,000-lie milestone that Trump reached--in January 2018!

Oct 3, 2018: Trump's 1st Emergency Alert to US Phones

Apparently, on Wednesday October 3, 2018, Donald Trump via FEMA sends out his first Emergency Alert to TV, radio, and cellphones across America at 2:18 pm ET. Naturally this all smacks of disruptive shocker Uranus, doesn't it? Well, Uranus @1Tau21 Rx is conjunct the IC 2Tau02 (Foundation; Basis) of a DC horoscope set for that date and time with tech savvy Uranus in the 3rd house of Communications.

Rising is 8Cap54 with fixed star Facies (ruthlessness or the victim) and archetypal asteroid Orpheus, the melancholy. Chart-ruler Saturn @3Cap08 has no application to another planet in the chart but is rising in the 12th house of Politics, Karma, and Self--Undoing, while creepy manipulator and wealth hoarder Pluto @18Cap45 (strong on its Direct Station degree of September 30, 2018) is in 1st house and is the first planet to rise so that soon a midpoint will form:

Saturn-Pluto = ASC: sadness and mourning (Tyl); cumbersome circumstances (Ebertin). However, at precisely 2:18 pm ET, another midpoint picture rises: Neptune-MC = ASC: acting and pretending; taking the wrong path; pursuit of wrong objectives; uncertainty; insecurity; unreality and illusion (Ebertin). Plus, karmic Saturn @3Cap08 is in Nodal Degree (and inconjunct North Node 3Leo32 = the public), an indicator of a fated event and adjustments that need to be made between authorities and the public.

Testy Mars 7AQ03 will soon be swiped by the separative 'Tail of the Dragon' (South Node 3AQ32) and both are also rising in 1st house (after Pluto) which suggests a loner acting out of harmony with the traditions and standards of society and this--plus, the sudden Emergency Alert--may antagonize and annoy the populace.

Saturn hits Trump's Mercury-Neptune Square twice more

October 1, 2018: just a note to say that twice more this year will transit Saturn in early Capricorn 'hit', activate, or limit Donald Trump's natal Mercury-Neptune square of fantasy, falsehood, indiscretion, and misguided perceptions. Saturn represents truth, reality, accountability, authenticity, the legal system, systems in general, and The Establishment along with karmic rewards or losses, whichever applies.

On November 11, 2018, transit Saturn @5Cap50 squares his natal Neptune (5Lib50 in natal 2nd house) at 4:11 am est in Washington DC with trump's natal Jupiter 17Lib27 SD rising. Transit Pluto @19Cap10 sits upon the IC (19Cap34) of this DC horoscope so Saturn rules the 4th house. The Moon @2Cap41 nears Saturn, a pair indicating emotional depression, or alternately, ambition, direction, and strategy. The 12th house of Politics and Karma holds Trump's natal Neptune and his natal Chiron, the Wound or Blind Spot, which sits between his Jupiter and Neptune, the pair of speculation, grand dreams, fraud, over-promising, Ponzi and other get-rich-quick schemes.

Then on December 10, 2018, transit Saturn @8Cap51 again opposes Trump's natal Mercury (8Can51 in his natal 11th house of Associations and Groups). This time, Luna is again in Capricorn but has left Saturn and nestles up against powerful Pluto (enraged women? abortion issues?). Lady Venus, direct and back in sexy, brooding Scorpio after her recent retrograde sojourn in her own sign of Libra, rises @4Sc049 and rules 12th and 7th houses in the opposition chart. Dogmatic bluntness is a feature of the December 10th chart (Sun Sag-Moon Cap) while the November 11th chart with its Scorpio vibes naturally shows more judgmental, control, and detective leanings. One who shares the Sun Sco-Moon Cap blend is Marcel Ophuls who aptly reminds us that,

"Puritanism...helps us enjoy our misery while we are inflicting it on others."

Or perhaps it should be author George Eliot (Mary Ann Evens: Sun Sco-Moon Cap) with the final quote in this Trump-related post since her observation aptly describes so many members of the modern political class including our erstwhile Mr. Trump:

"He was like a cock who thought the sun had risen to hear him crow."

Astro-Notes: Judge Brett Kavanaugh and the FBI

Now as we discussed in early September, the Kavanaugh SCOTUS hearing is a Jupiter-Neptune Affair replete with pretense and illusions. Due to many divergent paths that came to a crossroads on Friday, a "supplemental" FBI inquiry into allegations against Kavanaugh is ongoing as I type, and the FBI may or may not have until Friday October 5th to wrap up and present its findings to the Senate Judiciary Committee, findings the public may never see. A new SCOTUS term begins October 1st with no new member joining the Justices just yet, it appears, and of course the November 6, 2018 Midterms are only a month or so away. Delay of Republicans plans was not in the cards as far as they were concerned so congressional GOP members are about as hot under the collar as Friday's Brett or Lindsey Graham portrayed in thespian style.

So while they're all busy, let's search for clues ourselves by taking a quick peek at the personality blends of Judge Brett Kavanaugh, the angrily 'privileged' SCOTUS nominee, and the Federal Bureau of Investigation, the FBI, as we fondly call the Bureau which was created on July 26, 1908 Washington DC, no exact hour known so 'noon' is used as it is for Judge Kavanaugh born February 12, 1965 in Washington DC) both born with watery, tribal Cancer Moons. Potential 'weaknesses' of each blend are included:

Brett Kavanaugh Air-Water Sun Aquarius-Moon Cancer (Moon ranged from 00:28 to 15Can09 which falls among the FBI's natal North Node (5:03), Venus (5:21 Rx), Mercury (13:31), Neptune (15:18), Moon (9:43 to 21:43) stellium in Cancer:

"Unconscious prejudices; ability to rationalize irrational actions; a tendency to get absorbed in abstract causes which cuts (him) off from feelings and keeps (him) emotionally immature."

'Image for Integration': "A childhood memory becomes the basis of a new world order."

And by some operatives and saboteurs that 'new world order' must be draconian such as Republican politicians and their wealthy handlers would have it. Yet for those of us who care about the 99% and whether or not America is 'of-by-for' The People, Democrats seem a bit less creepy than the economic royalists of the GOP (who keep giving all our money away to the undeserving!) Plus, Democrats seem more amenable to progress rather than forcing our society to relive the 1850s and 1950s which is an irrational plan because it's impossible!

Now Kavanaugh's Sun AQ-Moon Cancer blend is shared by romantic poet Lord Byron who aptly informs us in a timely fashion that, "The best of prophets of the future is the past." And Kavanaugh's past teen and 20-something years and activities are a major focus of the FBI investigation--or should be.

FBI Fire-Water Sun Leo-Moon Cancer:

"Prone to sulk if (it) can't have (its) way; so self-absorbed that all signals from the environment are drowned out; engulfing emotionalism." Hmm. Could be worse.

'Image for Integration': "A young child sits on a throne, and with great dignity and tenderness, crowns his father and mother king and queen." No idea have I on how this may apply to the Bureau unless it's a mild reference to stamping an FBI 'seal of approval' on the one being investigated if he or she passes Bureau scrutiny with integrity, or at the least, with no criminal record.

The FBI's Sun Leo-Moon Cancer blend is shared by Welsh novelist Bernice Rubens who, born in 1928 on July 26 as was the FBI, could helpfully inform us and Judge Brett Kavanaugh that,

"The secret is to be true to yourself."

Horoscope: Lindsey Graham w Sept 27, 2018 Planets

The Wikipedia page of Senator Lindsey Graham provides basic details about his life including early life in South Carolina, his military service, and more. Now as you know, the senator threw quite a snit of miffdom over the treatment by Democrats of Judge Brett Kavanaugh this week with what was intended to be the senator's 'mic drop' moment. So, in honor of His Miffdom, I'm finally getting around to displaying a 'noon' version (birth time unknown) of Graham's natal horoscope set for July 9, 1955 in Central, SC:

Please enlarge the image to read chart details which include in green the planets on September 27, 2018, the day of the Kavanaugh-Ford testimonies. Also around the chart are a couple of Trump's natal placements which include Graham's natal Pluto @25Leo12 conjunct Trump's natal Mars, an explosive combination suggesting the power in their relationship is somehow weighted on the side of Senator Graham.

A strong midpoint exists with his Mercury-Neptune trine and Pluto at their apex; its potentials are noted on the chart as is Graham's Prenatal Eclipse ('PE') @28Gemo4 in the 11 South Saros Series; 11 South themes are penned on the chart. A Mercury-Neptune trine is often seen in charts of media figures and suggests one who is empathetic and can see many sides of the issues (Oken). This planetary pair is the one that gives Trump (and everyone else) so much trouble which, in a square for him, expresses as falsehoods, fantasy-world living, indiscretion, and misconceptions about others.

A Bucket shape shows a singleton Moon @7Pis54, the focal point of his energies and an executive-power indicator determined on success. Subconscious stirrings appear as the Bucket shape denotes one who adapts his allegiances to wherever they can count for the most (Jones) and my suspicion is that 'wherever' for the senator has turned him into a promoter of Mr. Trump's party of used-to-be Republicans...Moon @8Pisces: "A Girl Blowing a Bugle"--or, a Trump-et.

And with Lindsey Graham's natal Sun in mid-Cancer, we know that transit Pluto has recently opposed his natal Sun, a time when ego-bruises are possible, power struggles and no-compromise situations are in process, and the abuse of power or influence is a temptation. Yet also refusing to be a victim of manipulators is a potential as well and I suspect that's exactly what was seen during his snit of miffdom concerning the Kavanaugh Affair when his double Water Sun-Moon blend suddenly "gushed with feelings."

A Related Update: Trump orders a limited FBI probe to supplement Kavanaugh background check hoping to smooth the way for the one judge that appears willing to gift Trump with a free pass for his crimes, if needed.


2018 Midterms' Syzygy Moon shows Blue Revolution!

September 28, 2018: yes, the Syzygy Moon chart prior to the November 6, 2018 Midterm Elections is in the conservative-preserving money sign of Taurus, the bull. And yet...in the horoscope below, upper right, you see how revolutionary, rebellious Uranus @00Tau31 Rx snugs against the IC of the chart, the HOW? Point and Basis or Foundation of the Matter. And there's We The People's Moon conjunct Uranus which denotes excited people particularly women, plus, as noted on the chart, the Moon-Uranus pair suggests potentials for 'a sudden manifestation of subconscious forces (such as the Collective of the American people); those with special aims, and/or female reformists. So...Lunation Uranus conjunct lunation IC = incumbent loss, or as I prefer to put it, A Blue Tsunami!

Plus, you see the Oct 24th Full Moon light spilling out onto the public (North Node in Leo, sign of natural leadership and point of public contact) and the 'Tail of the Dragon', South Node, almost conjunct US POTUS Sun which in 2017, fell @00AQ48 = Trump playing the role of POTUS. The Dragon's Saturnian Tail will swipe or smack US POTUS Sun, the Presidency, on October 27, 2018 (horoscope shown).

Now I'm quite certain the ruling patriarchs, many of whom are advocates of Puritanism of a most hypocritical kind (I know because apparently I have Puritan ancestry as do many of us), (marvel at Chuck Grassley's stone face) won't agree that their current Koch (Murdoch-Mercer-foreign-govts) task of shoving the US government toward the regressive 'right' is unacceptable to a vast majority of Americans but I believe that this is the case. For who in her right mind would ever choose to live under a totalitarian, draconian, bossy regime led by a decrepit group of what seem to be the 'top choice' of global criminals in the bunch plus their political operatives and handmaidens?

For more Oct 24th chart details see The Syzygy Moon of the 2018 Midterms.

Anyway, with optimism for America I'm reaching out to the planets of the chart/s, above, for aid for our nation! We need it because, lower, left is the the New Moon Horoscope of October 8, 2018 @15Lib48 (conjunct US natal Saturn 14Lib48 suggesting a new cycle starting with the goal of undermining further of the US legal system including the US Supreme Court) so that the American public is left with no US institution or branch of government to depend on as before (to the extent that we could). Our best opportunity to re-create some level of balance in our governmental system and support the Republic is to take part in a Blue Tsunami by Voting Blue on November 6, 2018. For, as you see in the October 24th chart, The Establishment planet Saturn rises in his own sign and is the Thales Planet or Point aiding both the Sun and the Moon during their opposition, a sign of fulfillment or culmination of a plan seeded at the October 8, 2018 New Moon conjunct US natal Saturn--our 1776 Saturn exalted in Libra, sign of the Scales of Justice--now unfortunately progressed into Scorpio and retrograde since 1996 when the authority of the US Presidency came under attack by the same forces that continue to sabotage our nation today.

To me, true patriotism must involve protecting our nation from outside infiltrators and foreign criminals who would rule us with No Consent From The Governed--precisely the opposite of what America was and is meant to be. Is it time for compromised politicians to spill the beans on who intimidates them and to begin naming names?

That may never happen but what we can do is to Vote on November 6th--all the ladies and the younger generations 18 and older will be there, carrying their surf boards no less!

Saturn challenges US natal Sun (POTUS) Jan 17, 2019

Below is a horoscope set for Washington DC of the moment transit Saturn @13Cap19 directly opposes US natal Sun @13Can19 (POTUS), yet another cosmic symbol of the many legal challenges Donald Trump has been navigating since at least May 17, 2017 when Robert Mueller was appointed Special Counsel to investigate Trump's and the Trump campaign's ties to Russia.


Friday Sept 28, 2018: The Kavanaugh Vote?

An observation today rather than a post. That if Senate Republicans follow through on their plan to stage a vote for Judge Brett Kavanaugh's confirmation to the Supreme Court on Friday September 28, 2018 at 9:30 am edt the natal and unaspected Pluto of Donald Trump (@10Leo02) will be dominating and manipulating the scene, the vote, the hour from the Midheaven of the horoscope, the most visible point of any horoscope--the Goal and Aspiration Point.

Here's an excerpt from a previous post regarding Trump's unaspected Pluto:

Unaspected Pluto @10Leo02 in 12th house of the Unconscious suggests one who is 'overshadowed by shadows' (Tierney) with Pluto, the isolationist, being the planet of Psychology, Psychiatry, and persuasion. There are subterranean forces within his psyche that are totally fragmented from the rest of his personality and because they are buried, he is unaware of them which gives them even greater primal power. This, I believe, suggests the "he can't help himself" remarks that perhaps you've heard from commentators and reporters (exs: all-hours tweeting about former Miss America, Alicia Machado and her weight gain, and other crass behaviors and remarks that set him back in the polls).

Unaspected Pluto is the essence of overwhelming compulsions and powerful wealth-hoarder Pluto (the plundering plutocrat and manipulator) needs aspects to other planets in order to modulate its extreme tendencies. But with Mr. Trump, Pluto doesn't receive them, and nor do his other planets which could use the regeneration principle that Pluto could supply via aspect. And we have to say that Pluto's association with nuclear weapons is difficult to accept if under the thumb of Mr. Trump, the plutonian.

Also note that astrological Pluto is the planet of the Underworld, death, waste and pollution, destruction, de-construction, sabotage, threats, and criminal organizations. When it comes to autocrats in government, any plutonian regeneration must include new forms and reforms that a majority of Americans will reject and resist. And rightly so.
