Eclipses: Jan 2024 through Dec 2026

Eclipses: Wild Cards of the Universe aka Cosmic Blinks

by Jude Cowell

The following Lists of Solar (upper) and Lunar (lower) Eclipses begins with the Lunar Eclipse of March 25, 2024 @5Lib07; next comes the third of three Great American Eclipses manifesting on April 8, 2024 @19Ari24 (conjunct Chiron @19Ari24).

Penned between the Solar and Lunar Eclipse Lists are the first and second Great American Eclipses of 1878 (6 South) and 2017 (1 North):

Themes of 6 South: 'being forceful taking power, huge efforts in group activities'; and 1 North: 'unexpected events, issues loom large, make no hasty decisions because information is distorted and possibly false.'

Then closing out year 2026 and influencing the beginning weeks of 2027 (until at least late January 2027) are the Total Solar Eclipse of August 12, 2026 @20Leo01 (10 South) followed by the Lunar Eclipse of August 28, 2026 @4Pis54. Then below you'll find the themes of the 8 North to 10 South Solar Eclipses for readers who may appreciate the information.

Please note that eclipse themes always describe general potentials and influences running in the background of society and which may not affect you, dear reader, at all!

Solar Eclipse Themes (paraphrasing Brady's Predictive Astrology #ad):

8 North: 'flashes of genius, inventiveness, intuition, insights, good ideas, visions, vivid dreams, new-found inspiration; freedom is needed for a few weeks which may cause strain in personal relationships'.

8 South: 'separation, loss, being parted, finishing something and feeling sad at its completion; injury through overstrain, avoid overly strenuous activities'.

9 New North: 'a physically expressive series, great physical efforts, accidents, sudden events, violence; be cautious'.

9 New South: 'bringing to the surface longterm worries about loved ones, health, and/or issues concerning communications, worrying news regarding paperwork comes home to roost; any news has a sense of fatedness attached'.

10 North: 'communications are strongly emphasized, news of frustrating or inhibiting events regarding paperwork and/or a young person; folks may feel tired or drained so it's a good time to slow down and take difficulties one at a time'.

10 South: 'breaking out of a negative situation where no hope can be seen; worries suddenly clear and the Cosmos shows a solution which should be taken up without delay'.

Now in closing, before we experience the Lunar Eclipse of March 25, 2024, we must first negotiate the themes and influences of the 7 South Solar Eclipse which manifests on October 14, 2023, followed on October 28, 2023 by a Lunar Eclipse @5Taurus.

The "Kenergy" of US Mars Retrograde!

Patriarchal Values On Display via US Mars Retrograde

by Jude Cowell

From Ken's unfailing support for Barbie to his being "fine with that," a perfect example of US Mars turned retrograde by progression - from US 1776 Mars in ready-to-go Gemini to US Progressed Mars retrograde in laid back Libra - a perfect expression of America's Mars and the males the planet represents may be found in the Barbie movie, now playing upon a very large theater screen near you.

The Aggression of Mars Turned Inward--and Sensitive

How helpful that the self-effacing "Kenergy" of Ryan Gosling's 'Ken' character is explained in the film, particularly for those macho types who have trouble moderating their patriarchal tendencies such as arrogantly taking control and always grandstanding in case anyone misses how strong they are. For a percentage of them, their sense of machismo is way overblown!

Then how about a view of the C-rated natal chart of Canadian actor Ryan Gosling born November 12, 1980 with Sun in Scorpio and Moon in earthy Capricorn, or the A-rated natal horoscope of Barbie-personified actress Margo Robbie, born July 2, 1990 in Dalby, Australia with Sun in Cancer and Moon in early Scorpio.

You know, considering their Cancer and Scorpio Suns, we might suspect that there's quite a pink-convertible-load of watery emotions and feelings awash between them!

Horoscopes: Judge Chutkan and Trump

Authority v Power: Trump's and Those Propping Him Up

by Jude Cowell

For my Friday post of the week, here are two images: A bi-wheel of Donald Trump natal (inner) with Judge Tanya Chutkan's 'noon' natal chart (her birth hour unknown) surrounding it.

The planetary contacts between them that stand out to me are her Mercury @22Gemini (conjunct his 10th house Sun-North-Node and radical planet of chaos, Uranus), Mars @27Taurus (conjunct his MC-Algol conjunction), Uranus @28Leo (conjunct his ASC-Mars-Regulus trio: Uranus-conj-Mars suggests the danger inherent within their relationship including his viol*nt thugs, fellow gangsters, and the global criminal network). Then significantly, there's her Saturn Rx @9AQ53 (opposing his powerful 12th house Pluto at apex of his Mars-Saturn midpoint of death, fury, and destruction).

Then notably, the August 1, 2023 Full Moon @9AQ16 spotlighted her natal Saturn and opposed his natal Pluto, for him a time when his attempts at manipulation will not turn out well. Authority challenges power and Saturnian limits and restrictions are called for. Is Trump nearing the end of his lifelong crime spree?

The August Full Moon focused its rays upon Judge Chutkan's Saturnian authority and the task to oppose and challenge his Plutonian activities of subversion and criminality. One of the potentials of the Mars-Saturn = Pluto midpoint picture is, intervention of a higher power (R. Ebertin) such as the US legal system holding a criminal defendant to account with accountability one of legal eagle Saturn's demands via facts and reality, and with past abuse of power becoming significant to the present:

And here is a synastry grid of the contacts between them with squares indicating obstacles or blockages, and oppositions showing challenges and/or adversaries:

Trump-Organized Crime under RICO indictment in Georgia

Aug 14th: Our 13th Colony Steps Up for Law and Order

by Jude Cowell

Saturn, 'Legal Eagle' Planet in Political Astrology; NASA image

After last night's announcement in Georgia of a fourth indictment of Donald Trump and his co-conspirators acting within their self-created criminal organization, I considered writing a fresh post on the subject using astrological principles which could cast a cosmic light upon the circumstances and perhaps make some sense of it all. A cosmic glance under the hood of earthly events, we might say.

That is, I considered it until I realiized that such a post had already been written and published as, America's Neptune-Pluto Cycle of Crime and Fantasy featuring the organized crime duo's Great Conjunctions of 1891/1892 which landed upon America's 1776 Uranus, planet of revolution, war, anarchy, zealotry, radical/reactionary politics, chaos, upheaval, shocks, assaults, and disruption. Criminal enterprises have resulted, and criminal influences upon society have grown. Trump as criminal figurehead is their 'flowering'. Remember that initially, Trump was purported to helm the US from the White House as a corporate businessman. This he did with profit always his transactional motivation, and corruption no problem. No problem at all.

Plus, in mundane horoscopes there's Cupido, an archetype indicating The Syndicate, Corporatism, The Family, the Mafia, and criminal networks such as Trump and comrades put together thinking they could overthrow our country and negate our votes on behalf of a fascist dictator-wanna-be - and attempted for the benefit of certain global geopolitical take-over endeavors. You know the ones. Yet undoubtedly, the melee that useful tool Trump is causing the US Justice System pleases his handlers, for it keeps the DOJ busy, diverted, and under a potential for future collapse under the weight of Trump's hefty bulk.

You also know that Trump's foreign backers, enemies of America, of democracy, and of the US Constitution, are a major if surreptitious, factor in it all, as are certain other state government officials scooped up in Fani Willis' wide-ranging RICO prosecution announced late last night. Of course, easily recognized is the 1891/1892 era as that of the Robber Barons, the corporatists of their day - now we deal with their spawn, both biological and ideological. For example: Trump's J6 coup attempt was and is supported by many US corporations and CEOs--make that, transnational corporations who hold no allegiance to the United States of America despite the wealth they generated here using America's infrastructure, and the US consumers they profit by. Cash-cow-r-us!

Underneath it all, we're mired within our US Pluto Return with its collapse-rebuild vibrations that were heralded and supported by 2018's The Tower Eclipse, with themes activated in April 2019 by transit Uranus returning to its eclipse degree in early Taurus!

Meanwhile on the astrological level, if you check out the post linked, above, please scroll beneath the horoscope image to Michael Munkasey's Thesis-Antithesis description of the Neptune-Pluto duo if you don't check out anything else!

And for further reading, remember that this October, Trump greets the 7 South Eclipse conjunct his progressed Moon. Will this bring an 'October Surprise' for the amoral orange blighter? Or more like an October Shock?

Trump Trial Jan 2, 2024: Only the Facts!

Will Scofflaw Trump Go On Trial in Jan 2024?

by Jude Cowell

In 2016 we discussed what some call the Hopi Star of Prophecy, Ras Alhague, the snake charmer and Alpha star of Ophiuchi and the star's conjunction with Donald Trump's natal Moon opposite natal Sun - thereby symbolically twinkling upon his Nodal Axis of destiny and fate. Apparently, the natural law of karma (reaping what's been sown) will be in the courtroom.

So perhaps it's merely a curious synchronicity that the DC Trial of Trump proposed for January 2, 2024 by Special Counsel Jack Smith shows testifying Mercury strong at Direct Station (22Sag11) in the Horoscope you see, below. Set for Washington DC at the speculative hour of 10:00 am est on January 2, 2024 with Trump's natal chart surrounding it, here's a marked-up bi-wheel in case the trial date holds, and just in case Trump hasn't flown the coup before then:

See what you think:

Not penned on either chart are Trump's natal Vertex (22Cap51 with his Saturn conjunct Anti-Vertex: double the karma!), and the Trump Trial Horoscope's 10:00 am Vertex (15Vir38); these are points of fated encounters.

FEDERALIST SOCIETY LAWYERS SAY TRUMP IS INELIGIBLE TO RUN - 8.11.23 | Countdown

As Keith Olbermann exultantly explains in his latest Countdown episode, two lawyers, members of the ultra-conservative Federalist Society, assert that Donald J. is ineligible to run, be elected, or serve as leader of the government he attempted to overthrow on January 6, 2021 due to a little legal document We the People like to call the US Constitution:

Jupiter-Uranus and Saturn-Neptune at Aries Point!

by Jude Cowell

Two images of DC Horoscopes for your consideration are shown, below.

The first is a bi-wheel of the Jupiter-Uranus Conjunction of June 8, 2010 conjunct the Aries Point of world events surrounded by the upcoming Saturn-Neptune Conjunction of February 20, 2026 which also perfects upon the Aries Point of manifestation.

Societal conditions have changed quite a bit since 2010, as I suspect you can tell just from this brief comparison alone. Of course, following current events and monitoring what's changed in your personal life must agree, with or without the addition of Astrology's As Above, So Below.

Even so, my study notes are squooshed upon the bi-wheel and may be difficult to read so I've added a second view, a dual image of both conjunctions: Jupiter-Uranus 2010 (first of the planetary duo's three conjunctions into 2011 which are listed on the bi-wheel and highlighted in green meanwhile, the 2010 Conjunction in the dual image is shown (lower left) while the Saturn-Neptune Conjunction of 2026 - which will occur only once - is upper right.

Yes, the two conjunctions are 16 years apart, however, both represent major rufflings of the most sensitive of the four Cardinal World Points, the powerful, pioneering Aries Point which is ruled, as you know, by energetic Mars. This cosmic circumstance tends to put us in mind of the annual Aries Ingress (aka, Spring Equinox) when a new yearly cycle of activity begins and hope tends to spring eternal, while all planetary conjunctions signify the beginning of a new cycle:

And if we read the two conjunctions as 2026 transits to the 2010 planets, we have potentials for: limitations or restrictions of expansion and/or freedom, a time for the wealthy class to give back some of its gains, unorthodox ideas or methods are rebuffed or rejected, delays but carefully laid plans can still succeed, idealism becomes fanaticism, get-rich-quick schemes flourish, unrealistic expectations cause conflicts in society, changes and reforms are unpredictable and/or innovative, plans are implemented, and/or confusion and nervousness may undermine progress.

These possibilities and influences are shown via cosmic time links (2026 to 2010) spotlighted by the fact that both conjunctions occur at a prominent point in the Zodiac. Naturally, other planetary influences are involved and must be factored in along with Solar and Lunar Eclipses, plus, a look back at the decade of major events of the 2010s can refresh memories and suggest society's ongoing issues and concerns which must continue to be dealt with for it does no positive good to turn away from our problems.

Now disagree as you wish, dear reader, but there it is.
