Columbia: Dec 1819 Horoscope

by Jude Cowell, partisan for the common good

In case the astrology chart of Columbia should be needed at some point, below is a version from Nicholas Camption's The Book of World Horoscopes (#063; #ad) for Columbia December 17, 1819.

The theme of the country's 1 South Solar Eclipse is penned in the center of the horoscope along with a few other basic notes of interest sprinkled around the chart:

"SP" = Secondary Progressions: a day for a year

And if we progress the 1819 noon horoscope to our era, we find that Columbia will soon reach a New Moon phase on August 8, 2025 @17Can52 with its Progressed Pluto-Chiron midpoint of Plutocracy and exploitation conjunct the Aries Point of Global Events. This indicates that the country has been experiencing a Balsamic dark of the moon phase since October 28, 2021 with SP Moon @29Tau16, a critical-crisis degree, and SP Sun @14Can16.

So as always, my heart is with the good people of Columbia and with the populations of other South American countries, and not with the people who exploit them and plunder their reosurces.

Maga Marge is "desperate"

by Jude Cowell, partisan for the common good

Marjorie Taylor Greene is reportedly "desperate" to impeach President Biden over the border situation. Perhaps you've noticed her kicking up a storm of contention in the House and her extreme malcontent could hardy be more obvious. She's even assaulted her own political party calling Republicans "feckless" and useless" because they won't go along with her impeachment efforts, and all performed to please her idol, convicted felon Trump. Or are there bigger bosses behind the scenes pressuring her?

Well, we can see that Maga Marge is the restless kind who expects a lot, as shown by her natal chart even with only a "noon" horoscope to study.

And yes, we've considered her planets previously but here they are again. Below the chart I'll list the five dates of her current, first-ever Chiron Return/s the first of which occurs on or about June 19, 2024, and note that she may have been stirred up more than usual by the April 8, 2024 8 North Solar Eclipse ("dreams and visions") @19Ari24 conjunct transit Chiron, also @19Ari24 - even though her natal Chiron clocks in @22Ari56 in her noon chart (she's a sensitive gal, perhaps a bit psychic), as you see here with May 27, 2023 planets penned around the outside; her unrealistic expectations are in focus:

Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene May 27, 1974 "noon" Milledgeville, Georgia; Chiron @22Ari56; Chiron Return a five-fer on or about these dates:

1. June 19, 2024

2. September 1, 2024

3. April 11, 2025: transit Sun conjunct her Chiron

4. December 6, 2025

5. January 29, 2026

As we see, this is an extended period of lessons from wounded healer and blindspot Chiron who teaches those who listen with the right spirit. Thing is, each Return will emphasize the meanings of her Chiron's natal aspects which include: a conjunction with Venus, possibly a trine with her Moon, definitely an aggressive square from spunky Mars, and an opposition with Uranus, the radical anarchist.

And if we add to these energies her big-dreaming, grand-scheming Jupiter-Neptune square we find Maga Marge having difficulty dealing with the harsh realities of life, prone to misjudgments, and somewhat on the gullible side. Now there's a quality an experienced con man can certainly take advantage of for his own purposes, yes?

Which Nazis Took Power in 2022?

by Jude Cowell, partisan for democracy

Prior to our Midterms 2022 Elections when "MAGA" seditionists somehow managed to take over the US House of Representatives where their antics continue to underwhelm and thus help them avoid actually governing (at least until the 119th Congress swears in), we discussed disturbing topics such as The Nazi Regime and US Election 2024. The comparison remains worth keeping in mind as the November 2024 Elections approach.

In the post, the 1933 Horoscope of the Nazi Regime is displayed if you'd care for a look-see, and mention is made of the Eclipse Saros Series in which the monstrosity of blood lust took control in Germany, along with the fact that the same Series, 6 South, repeated on October 25, 2022 @2Scorpio (landing upon the Ascendant of NATO, btw), and our 2022 Midterm Elections occurred within the time frame, bringing Maga-ites into the powerful halls of Congress.

6 South themes are descriptive of events in 1933 and in 2022: "being forceful and taking power; manic energy; sudden events," and "huge efforts in group activities" (B. Brady). As you know, Nazis used violence as a tool to force their ideology upon society, and nowadays old man Trump favors that idea - of using violence against his "fellow Americans." These are "obsolete ideas," as the 1933 horoscope shows via venal Venus in Capricorn opposing primal Pluto in Cancer, and the planetary duo in opposition is associated with violence, envy, jealousy, and the mishandling of money and resources. In fact, bankruptcy can follow.

So for me, if not for you, these particular Venus-Pluto potentials sound like things that Herr Trump, a Uranian reptilian, has been intimately accustomed to, been motivated by, and has used to his advantage for decades.

Speaking of Magas, if you're curious, here's a noon natal horoscope of perhaps the leading Maga troublemaker in the House, Marjorie T. Greene, aka, "MTG". Feast your eyes!

For the sake of comparison, here's a bi-wheel of the initial 6 South Eclipse of March 6, 1049 @21Pis55 conjunct Venus, showing a forceful Mars-Pluto opposition, and karmic Saturn @27Cap19 conjunct US 1776 Pluto (abuse of power issues), surrounded by the 6 South repetition of October 25, 2022 @2Scorpio, the Eclipse that influenced Midterms 2022 when Maga-ites gained a claw-hold in Congress:

Now as everyone knows, forewarned is forearmed, so here's the revealing J6 Solar Return Horoscope for January 2025 showing the brutal "win at any cost" Mars-Pluto opposition that our government fails to prepare for with more-than-equal force at our nation's peril.

And here's The Eclipse of the GOP's Project 2025, their dystopian plan for effecting the total ruination of America as we know it. An imperfect nation are we, yes, but who in their right minds can't do a better job at the helm than hate-filled Trump with his carnage, concentration camps, sadism, and loss of freedom?

"The Storm" Eclipse of 2019

Capricorn: Sign of Government, Law, Business, and Authority Figures

by Jude Cowell, partisan for our democratic Republic

As agent orange lurked in the people's White House playing POTUS, year 2019 opened with a significant Solar Eclipse in the 2 South Saros Series @15Cap25:02, and if we use the First Vote for Independence Horoscope of July 1, 1776, aka, the Powell Horoscope of America, the Eclipse landed upon - "eclipsed" - the Powell Moon, symbol of We the People - as independence and freedom from oppression were demanded.

Actually, this cosmic synchronicity (Sun-Moon conjunct Moon) gave many Americans the intuitive ability to realize on a deep level what authoritarians were up to and to understand what must be done, while others compounded our nation's karmic debt by repeating mistakes of the past - or by trying to (ex: the Naz*s desire for world domination via brutality and theft). A "unified Reich," as Trump has subversively promoted.

So recognizing that some folks have referred to the J6 coup attempt as "the storm" or "a storming, below you see an unmarked version of the 2 South Eclipse of January 5, 2019, aka, "The Storm" Eclipse based on its future direction North Node's rounded-up Sabian Symbol, "A Storm in a Canyon"; negative potential = "fatuous enjoyment of turmoil" (M. E. Jones). Perhaps we can agree that turmoil, chaos, and disruption are precisely the tactics that Uranian Trump likes to create and use against us for like Naz*s in the olden days, such conditions create the best period of time for reforms to be more easily implemented - distasteful, dystopian, undemocratic, and anti-American as his so obviously are:

Planetary aspects to 2 South provide a fuller picture of conditions and trends:

Saturn conjunct Ecl: those with responsibilities related to 2 South themes and who are well-equipped to correctly handle the issues (Saturn in its own sign of Capricorn);

Pluto conjunct Ecl: Plutonians unite; a network of Syndicates; negative potentials include gang wars and rapes, and other criminal offenses (Pluto in Capricorn: the dictator - R. Ebertin). Note that the harsh, compressive Saturn-Pluto Conjunction of January 12, 2020 was yet to come and would conjoin Trump's natal Vertex @23Capricorn, a point of fateful encounters and with a potential for "wish fulfillment."

Neptune sextile Ecl: inspires the loftier side of Neptune's spiritual gifts, plus, psychic and intuitive powers increase bringing hope to the downtrodden masses.

2 South Themes: Unusual groups; finding a particular group to join where a great deal can be gained (paraphrasing B. Brady). Initial 2 South occurred on April 17, 991 (OS) @1Tau47, Venus conjunct Aries Point, and Pluto-NN = Jupiter (@12Aries): "Desire to obtain position and power by force through the help of other people" (ex: Putin); and "attainment of great gains through others " (R. Ebertin). Michael Munkasey adds: "potential success through an ability to use people" and "An enhanced ability to read the political motives of the people you meet and assess their needs for power".

Other prominent features of 2019's 2 South Eclipse include: Saturn-Pluto conjunct Sun/Moon: sparing no pains in one's work; over-exertion; cold feelings; a tragic destiny for women (R. Ebertin); Munkasey adds: important denials of extremes; controlling emotions as you push toward goals; dominating others through a strong will; strong control over other people's habits (and over women's healthcare, as it turned out--jc).

And here's a bi-wheel of our Powell Horoscope of July 1, 1776 (inner) with the 2 South Eclipse 2019 Horoscope (outer) as a transit chart:

Events of 2019

Multiple events in 2019 relate to issues of freedom and independence. One such involves the INF Treaty (Intermediate-Range Nuclear Forces Treaty) which was signed by Reagan and Gorbachev on December 8, 1987 at the White House under the influence of a 7 South Eclipse with themes of Mars-Pluto power issues. The INF was set to expire on August 2, 2019 but earlier on February 1, 2019, now-felony-convicted Trump confirmed that the US had withdrawn from the INF citing Russian non-compliance. Next day, Russia withdrew from the Treaty as well, and considering Trump's close tie with authoritarian Putin, one might reaonably expect that their withdrawals were coordinated.

Obviously, this freed Putin and Trump on the nuclear level to act as they wish by failing to renew the 1987 aggreement and by not signing a new version. Of course, in 2022 Putin invaded Ukraine and is destroying the country as best his massive ego can.

So! Follow the 2019 link, above, to check for additional events influenced by the group-joining 2 South Eclipse until the 3 North of July 2, 2019 @11Cancer over South America with themes of "news that transforms a situation" and "obessive worry" (B. Brady).

In closing: if you're concerned for America's future with foreign and domestic enemies continuing to target the US, you may wish to see a previous post Is History on Russia's Side?

July 2024: Trump Sentenced - then RNC 2024

by Jude Cowell, partisan for democracy

By now everyone has heard that yesterday, May 30, 2024, Trump was convicted of all charges (guilty on 34 counts) by a jury of his peers in the Manhattan, NY courtroom of Judge Juan Merchan who then announced that the sentencing of "C.F. Trump" is scheduled for July 11, 2024 at 10:00 am edt.

Above you see a bi-wheel of horoscopes: Trump Sentenced (inner) and the first day Horoscope of RNC 2024 four days later (outer), a political event which we've previously discussed here.

Saturn: The Old Man of Karma

Naturally, there are multiple factors worth noting in the charts (exs: RNC 2024 Sun conjunct Herr T's natal Saturn with issues of authority and reliability. As you know, Saturn is the planet of karma, legalities, limits, flaws. Asteroid Justicia conjuncts his natal Mercury, and Justice-bringer Astraea conjuncts his natal Mars.

Mars-Uranus: Risk and Danger

However, my main focus in this post, due to his nibs' propensity for instructing his thugs and cult menbers toward committing violent acts, is the Mars-Uranus duo conjunct enraged star, Algol which twinkles upon the Midheaven of CFT's 1946 natal chart - how furious he must be - and how saturated with plans for taking revenge upon anyone who opposes him or stands in his way. And yes, this is a deadly situation particularly if he manages to coup the White House in November.

Then as you know, Inauguration Day 2021 saw a Mars-Uranus Conjunction @6Tau44 (3:38 pm est). Notably, in the above charts we find a disturbing midpoint picture: Mars-Uranus = his natal MC with potentials for: taking drastic measures; a pistol to the head; violence; injury (R. Ebertin).

Reaping the Consequences

So both July events fall under the influence of the 8 North ("dreams and visions"-- B. Brady) Great American Eclipse of April 8, 2024 @19Ari24 conjunct wounded Chiron (also @19Ari24). Then is C.F. Trump wounded? Yes. But so is America, thanks to our nation's enemies, foreign and domestic, working against democracy under the gnatzie-style leadership of a man now known as Convicted Felon Trump. Also, both events have the same Syzygy Moon @14Cancer - conjunct starry Sirius, The Scorcher.

What I detest the most about this entire "Shakespearean" drama is that the degradation of old man Trump is simultaneously the degradation of every one of our three branches of government. In one way or another, he's managed to sabotage them all, much to our enemies' delight. And the treasonous plan of career criminals is ongoing.

And significantly, the previous Great American Eclipse of August 21, 2017, his first year playing POTUS, landed directly upon Trump's natal Ascendant @29Leo and rising Regulus (success if revenge is avoided) and you'll remember how he famously removed his safety glasses and looked directly up at the eclipsed Sun multiple times, future blindness be dam*ed. But I suppose when you're born with regal Regulus and Apollo "the sun god" rising along with your brash Mars in royal Leo, you brazenly assume that you can get away with a stupid stunt like that and, with regal aplomb, you'll never have to reap the consequences.

DC Horoscope: Parade of Planets June 3, 2024

by Jude Cowell, partisan for the common good

As you've heard, pre-dawn on June 3, 2024 comes a planetary alignment of 6 planets being called a Parade of Planets. Here's a DC Horoscope of the alignment set for the speculative time of 5:45 am edt with 12Gem19 Ascending, Venus 12:56, Midas 12:50, Sun 13:18, and asteroid Panacea rising; it's an Hour of Mercury, planet of sight and observation:

For more information ABC News has details.

Naturally, slow-moving generational planets Uranus and Neptune will require binoculars or telescopes to be visible but depending upon your location in the Northern Hemisphere, weather conditions, and your good eyesight, you may likely be able to view the rest of the planets. However, isolationist Pluto is, of course, out of everyone's view yet astrologically, Pluto leads all the planets in a BOWL shape denoting leadership or advocacy of a cause or a mission. Same in the chart, below.

But if you miss the planetary panoply on June 3rd, fret not for there will be other pre-dawn opportunities to catch the cosmic show:

August 28, 2024; January 18, 2025 (two days prior to Inauguration 2025), and on February 28, 2025 when a total of 7 planets will align. Here's the DC Horoscope:

Trump Trial May 30-31, 2024

by Jude Cowell, partisan for the common good

Today's court session in Manhattan is symbolized by the 9:30 am edt horoscope (lower left) while tomorrow's session (assuming there is one) is shown (upper right) in this dual image:

A few of my study notes are sprinkled about and, as you see, the currently operative Great American Eclipse in the 8 North Saros Series (@19Ari24; April 8, 2024) will top the chart on Friday May 31st with its "dreams and visions" themes in The Goal Point position.

Meanwhile, wounded healer Chiron's presence - also a symbol of a blindspot - continues, and I believe is one of the 'stars' of this legal situation as a lifelong criminal is finally held to account and representing America's wound (racism and all!) - yet for some citizens, Chiron in Aries is their blindspot. Plus, transit Chiron is within process of America's Chiron Return (20Ari08) this very year. Importantly, Chiron also symbolizes the Christ archetype in Astrology which brings in the religious contentiousness now occurring in the US.

Saturn-Neptune: the illness axis of depressed, needy people

Significantly, both days contain Saturn-Neptune with Moon connotations although in a different order from today until Friday and the midpoint pictures' potentials are penned next to each horoscope. A notable cosmic echo is the fact that Baby Donald was born with ASC = Saturn-Neptune (oppressive environment) and now at trial there are strong suggestions of pathological depression, pessimism, and despair involved.

Understandably.

Previously on SO'W is how this legal conflict began for his nibs: Stormy Legalities: The Trump Trial.

Libertarians Pick Chase Oliver

by Jude Cowell, partisan for democracy

As most US voters may agree, third party presidential candidates tend to skew election results so now that 38-year-old Libertarian Chase Oliver has been selected as the party's 2024 nominee after 7 rounds of voting on Sunday (5/26/24), I suppose it could behoove us if the Trump-heckling Libertarian Party candidate receives a quick glance at his noon natal planets and the New Moon which perfected on the day of his birth.

However, if my luck holds, this may be the only mention of Mr. Oliver here on Stars Over Washington but we'll have to see as the November 2024 Elections approach like an oncoming train.

Chase Oliver August 16, 1985 Nashville, TN; hour unknown

So below you see a dual image of Oliver's speculative noon chart (lower left) and his New Moon horoscope (@23Leo28 at 5:05:32 am CDT August 16, 1985 Nashville, TN; upper right); his Prenatal Solar Eclipse Series ('PE") is the 5 North and its visionary themes are penned on; also listed is the last 5 North which occurred @20Gemini on June 10, 2021:

Besides the New Moon in Leo, notable in the realm of politics is a Mercury-Mars Conjunction also in Leo, indicating a tendency toward holding strong political opinions which may be expressed (although his Mercury is Rx so perhaps he restrains himself), energized thinking, and perhaps an ability to put ideas into action.

As for the New Moon (if born after its perfection, then it's his Syzygy Moon), we might consider it to have similar influences as a Solar Eclipse and if so, the Saturn square to the New Moon suggests a late bloomer for whom a lack of discipline impedes progress unless and until he learns to take on responsibilities - and perhaps he has. Then a trine from Neptune hints that there are spiritual assets available to Chase Oliver, along with hints of his having metaphysical interests.

Meanwhile, Jupiter Rx in Aquarius and Pluto, strong in delving Scorpio, are Angular in both speculatively timed horoscopes in rigid Fixed signs and I suspect that this powerful duo will be worth keeping an eye as November nears - especially because of the fact that the New Moon @24Leo conjuncts the Pluto-Chiron midpoint of Plutocracy which may have some influence upon his apparent rise to some measure of power in 2024.

Le Donald and "Mama Trump"

by Jude Cowell, partisan for the common good

Reams of information and opinions have been written about the presumptive Republican nominee for 2024, and when we look at the natal horoscope of Mary Anne Trump, mother of Le Donald, we find planetary contacts between them as one would expect between mother and son, uncontrollable as Uranian Donald is said to have been, and continues to be.

In fact, a "military" reform school became necessary for the little bully and it's said that the young Donald thrived there, enjoying the "hazing" among other activities. It's also said that Mama Trump left New York each summer for Scotland, her homeland, in order to get away from her son. My suspicion is that there was more to it than this, but escaping from an uncontrollable offspring would certainly have been a plus for her.

An Astrological Comparison of Planets

Handily, both Donald's and "Mama Trump"'s natal charts are RR:AA for accuracy. Below you see a bi-wheel with Mama Trump in center, Le Donald outer, plus, the "noon" natal planets of Fred ("Papa" Trump") are penned around the outside of the bi-wheel and are highlighted in green:

Four significant factors pop out to me between Mama Trump and son:

1. Both were born with Mercury-Neptune squares of fantasy, deception, tone deafness, lack of discrimination, and "the sneaky mind" (A. Oken), and 2. Donald's natal Mars @27Leo opposes his Mama's natal Moon @27AQ which echoes the same opposition between Donald and the US 1776 Moon (We the People) of July 4, 1776, late afternoon. The opposition also reveals something about the "grown-up" Donald's shabby, predatory treatment and rude insults against womankind (symbolized by his early views of Mama Trump) but the topic is beyond the scope of this brief post.

Then perhaps with number 3, we see his Moon-South-Node conjunction showing the duo's emotional alienation and estrangement from one another with separations each summer the best outlet Mama Trump could come up with to manage this unfortunate energy and the lack of sympathy it suggests. And notably, Moon-opposite-Mars is the "Don't tred on me" aspect (A. Oken)!

4. As for Mama Trump's difficulties with Baby Donald, a Lunar Eclipse @23Sag04 on the day of his birth suggests what may have been health concerns for her (Moon inconjunct both Venus and Saturn) along with any emotional issues she may have had regarding the pregnancy.

Actually, some form of violence may have been involved, and since Trump's J6 coup attempt upon the US Congress resulted in violent acts, it seems significant to me, if not to you, that his day-of-birth Lunar Eclipse was activated by the Electoral College Vote 4 South Solar Eclipse of December 14, 2020 (@23Sag08) with its themes of 'strong emotions over relationships and/or money; anger, lust; events beyond control; a sense of fatedness; a sudden urge to end unions ("ha*g Mike Pence"?); great frustration due to blocked emotions; avoid taking rash action for best results' (paraphrasing B. Brady).

And so the hostility, aggression, distaste, criticism, targeting, scapegoating, and a variety of negative emotions issuing from Mars-rising Donald's vengeful, grudge-holding personality are inherent within this configuration of conflict (Moon-Mars) with its malicious motives and this ought to be obvious, distasteful, and unacceptable to a majority of Americans as they plan to Vote for Democracy in November 2024.

Meanwhile, Le Donald continues to rebelliously act out against deep feelings of unlovability (from Mama), and the bullying he experienced via Papa Fred's powerful Pluto conjunct his natal Sun in Gemini while opposing and devastating Donald's natal Moon and Luna's reigning need (Sag). For as Donald's natal Jupiter in Libra (conjunct his Astraea, asteroid of Justice!) constantly cries into the ether to anyone who will listen, "It's not fair!"

Trump Trial May 28, 2024

The Criminal Trump Trial for Election Interference: Rebellion

by Jude Cowell, partisan for the common good

Horoscope: Tuesday May 28, 2024 9:30 am edt Manhattan, NY; Judge Merchan presiding:

As you see in the above chart, 1Leo04 rises which brings up Trump's natal 12th house cusp of incarceration; behind-the-scenes (as in, house arrest?). Or am I only dreaming that this lifelong criminal and sexual predator will finally be taken off the streets, if only for a short while? But of course, this also brings up his lethal midpoint picture: Pluto = Mars-Saturn.

Well, no matter how legalities proceed, according to the planetary configurations shown above, we can potentially expect "rebellion, upheaval, and challenges leading to a fight" via warrior planet Mars (his appeal of the case? and/or physical unrest?). Then the Moon-Pluto conjunction suggests zeal and upheaval by intense people. This pairing could also relate to the people feeling emotionally overwhelmed by the verdict when it comes, and the rage that is certain to follow a conviction.

Meanwhile, check out the Moon's and Sun's Sabian Symbols which are penned on the chart. And notably, chart-ruler Sun makes no applying Ptolemaic aspects so its sign, degree, and house are emphasized.

Libertarian Party Audience Heckles Trump

by Jude Cowell, partisan for the common good

By now you've seen clips of Trump being loudly booed and heckled as he attempted to deliver a speech at the Libertarian Convention now in progress (May 23--May 26). Agent Orange was trying to beg for Libertarian votes in November!

Checking the history of the Libertarian Party (US) we find that the party formed on December 11, 1971 after months of debate by a Committee founded on July 17th. The new party was publicly announced at a press conference on January 31, 1972. According to the party's Wikipedia page, the group formed partially as a response to Nixon's price controls and the ending of the Gold Standard.

Actually, we've discussed these topics previously such as in March 2021 with this: An Eclipse Series ended in 1931: The End of an Epoch. That was in the UK. The 9 Old South Series that ended on July 22, 1971 is noted therein with 1971 being the year that the US ended reliance upon the Gold Standard which helped sparked the formation of the Libertarian Party.

So! Let's take a peek at a noon Horoscope of the Libertarian Party, shall we? Unmarked by my usual study notes, it's suitable for printing if you wish:

Horoscope: Libertarian Party December 11, 1971 "noon" Colorado Springs, CO; Hour of the Moon (changes; fluctuations); ASC 13Pis26; MC 20Sag49; Sun 20Sag04/Moon 12Lib11, a 'live wire' Fire-Air blend with tendencies toward gregariousness, intellectualism, charisma, and a quick wit. The Harveys describe this combination of conscious and unconscious energies as a "frequenter of coffee shops" (!), and a blend which can be gullible, has a need for social advancement, and to "come down to earth" when being overly expansive. The blend's "Image for Integration" is rather interesting: "The Dead Poets' Society" and is shared natally by Jane Austen and Walt Disney.

Then as you see, there's a high flying Kite pattern of success anchored by the Saturn-Neptune opposition of subterfuge (Neptune the nose, Saturn the tail) but only if we allow the South Node @6AQ30 to be one of the points of the Kite. Perhaps we should since this South Node conjuncts US 1776 South Node marking the period as a Nodal Return for America, a time when new associations are formed.

Meanwhile, powerful wealth-hoarder 1971 Pluto @1Lib53 leads a ruthless Locomotive shape of the planets while radical Uranus @17Lib29 conjuncts the natal 2nd house Jupiter Stationary of NY playboy Donald Trump, age 25 in 1971. Perhaps this planetary contact partially accounts for the booing and heckling of Le Donald at the Libertarian Convention since Uranus symbolizes separation and disruption and is Trump's natal 10th house guiding planet of chaos, zealous radicalism, and Utopian ideals of lawlessness. He's uncontrollable and they know it.

Venus, planet of pespectives, evaluations, and currency is out-of-bounds @15Cap45 (conjunct US 'Powell' Moon in the July 1, 1776 "first vote" chart), and this founding chart reveals a 3rd quarter phase - crisis in consciousness - strong with Mutable-Fire Angularity (noon is only speculative). No planet is in a Fixed sign, only the South Node in Aquarius.

Then there's Mars in Pisces squaring Sun, Mercury, and Jupiter with potentials for restlessness, self-seeking, a sharp tongue, compulsive speech repetition, extravagance, overindulgence, and/or taking on too much at once.

To close, I'll mention two more factors: the most prominent midpoint picture in effect all day is Pluto-NN = Neptune: success through lies and fraud (R. Ebertin); the power of the half-truth; deception as a tool; win at any cost (N. Tyl), and the Party's Prenatal Solar Eclipse ('PE") which influenced its formation, the 9 New South @27Leo15 (conjunct you-know-who's natal Mars rising which suggests his headstrong, violent tendencies) which manifested on August 20, 1971.

Themes of 9 New South include worrisome news and responsibilities with paperwork come home to roost (paraphrasing B. Brady). The next 9 New South arrives on September 21, 2025 (basically an 'Autumn Equinox 2025 Eclipse') @29Vir05 with Uranus Rx @1Gem21 conjunct the Libertarian Party's 1971 Saturn suggesting reevaluation and possibly the altering of certain rules, regulations, and restrictions. Notably, the 2025 Eclipse will land upon the Party's 1971 Pluto, a power aspect that negatively can indicate revelations of criminality (R. Lineman).

All in all, the Libertarian Party's founding horoscope is quite Jupiterian (Sag), plus, the Gold Standard and price controls set them off, so I'd suppose that most issues then and now have to do with finances, don't you? But with a side order of Jupitarian issues of freedom, ideology, and boundary-breaking - and quite a large load of deception.

Many Thanks to all readers who have 'bought me a coffee' for your generous support encourages the continuation of this lonely work! Jude

14 North's Peculiar Events

Today's Full Moon @2Sag55 and a Fussy Post

by Jude Cowell, partisan for democracy

The history of NAFTA and its replacement, the US-Mexico-Canada Agreement (USMCA) by the Trump administration (in effect July 1, 2020) tells the story of US attempts at establishing a North American "free trade zone" beginning with Ronald Reagan in 1979. Sounds like clearing a path for globalism to me! And perhaps you've heard of 1992 candidate Ross Perot's warning against NAFTA regarding "that giant sucking sound going South" as US jobs chased cheaper labor elsewhere. Obviously, Mr. Perot was correct.

Delusion and A Peculiar Turn of Events

And so NAFTA passed the House on November 17, 1993 (234-200), passed the US Senate on November 20, 1993 (61-38) - and became effective on January 1, 1994 - all under the influence of a 14 North Solar Eclipse @21Sco31:41 (November 13, 1993).

Then for the sake of comparison, 14 North is the Saros Series of the "Sequester Eclipse" of November 25, 2011 @2Sag36:48 - with quirky zealot Uranus Rx conjunct the Aries Point of Global Events, and shady, secretive financial dealings perpetrated by what was dubbed a "Super Congess." So this is the 14 North @2Sag36 that was activated this morning by the Full Moon @2Sag55, and here I am fussing about it all.

Of course, as all solar eclipses are, the 2011 Eclipse was a New Moon so potentially, under the spotlight of today's Full Moon at the same degree, we might soon hear financial news or gain information that in some measure relates to the crisis-ridden sequestration murkiness of 2011's sneakily formed under-the-table "Super Congress" with its restrictive solutions for our debt-ceiling crisis of 2011, or news that involves secret financial dealings.

Other than this fussy post, of course!

Meanwhile, today's Full Moon may likely relate to the ongoing Trump Trial soon to draw to a close in Manhattan, Judge Merchan presiding. Mr. Trump certainly seems to be mired within a debt crisis of his own creation, yes?

So above is a dual image of the 1993 14 North Eclipse (lower left) and the 14 North Eclipse of 2011 (upper right) with the initial 14 North of April 29, 1074 @13Tau54 listed on the right, and the next 14 North listed in the upper right corner.

Then besides the shadiness, peculiarity, and despair of it all, 1993 Jupiter and 2011 Jupiter Rx are in opposition across the financial Taurus-Scorpio axis which signals discontent in the money department sparking a potential for overblown efforts!

For as everyone knows, moderation tends to be the best course rather than overdoing issues and draining one's energy - or emptying the National Treasury.

Q: Is there a prominent historical event that occurred under the influence of a 14 North Eclipse? Why yes, the Valley Forge Encampment of General Washington and Our Exhausted Troops in 1777. Now there's a perfect example of drained energy.

And from 2022, here's an informative Thom Hartmann clip How China Can and Will Use NAFTA Against America.
