Are Judges Scared Trump Mob Will Come After Them? - Thom Hartmann clip

Here's Thom with a question that the Mainstream Media should be discussing but seldom if ever does:

Of course judges and SCOTUS justices are wary if not scared of the Trump Mob! Wouldn't you be if agent orange used his rhetoric to send thugs against you and your family?

Astrologically, challenging planetary transits are in force right now in relation to the SCOTUS Horoscope of 1790 (1st session) and the Judiciary Act of 1789 Horoscope. If you check out the charts, note Nemesis in both charts, the positions of brilliant Minerva, asteroid of accomplishment, plus, the fact that the 1789 Act was signed during a 7 South Saros Series time period - the one we're in right now with its forceful Mars-Pluto-square energies - and that the 1st session of the Court in 1790 was held under the auspices of an 8 North Eclipse. And as you know, an 8 North Eclipse repeats on April 8, 2024 @19Ari54 (conjunct Chiron @19Ari54) as the third of three total Great American Eclipses with vibes of "visions and prophetic dreams" (B. Brady).

Previously appearing on SO'W: The Very First Great American Eclipse in 1878, a year of President Rutherford B. Hayes, yellow fever outbreaks, the Lincoln County War in New Mexico, the Posse Comitatus Act signed into law to protect the American people from the military, the final Salem Witch Trial held in America, and other events of significance. Obviously, a related current event issuing from the Posse Comitatus Act of 1878 is wanna-be dictator Trump's sinister urge to use the US military to go after his opponents. See The Eclipse of PROJECT 2025.

So! it's 1. Great American Eclipse 1878: Rutherford B. Hayes and his controversial election;

2. Great American Eclipse 2017: Donald Trump with his controversial election and the help he received from abroad and from wealthy anti-democracy donors determined to destroy the US Constitution;

3. Great American Eclipse 2024: Joseph R. Biden in the White House, sore loser Trump's Big Lie ongoing to disguise his loss in November 2020 - and with democracy on the line for Election 2024 while enemies of America, both foreign and domestic, work to cheat their fascist way into authoritarian control of our country by use of disputed presidential elections, for one thing.

Vote Blue in November 2024 to Save Democracy and say NO! to a dystopian society of primal violence.

President Biden to speak on the third J6 anniversary

Seditionist in the Cosmic Spotlight!

by Jude Cowell, partisan for democracy and the common good

Said to sharpen his rhetoric concerning insurrectionist Trump, President Biden is scheduled to speak on the occasion of the third anniversary of Trump's J6 coup attempt - at Valley Forge, Pennsylvania! Then he's on to South Carolina for a second event. See MSN's: Biden's Jan 6 Anniversary Speech for details. Plus, CNN characterizes Biden's J6 events as the opening of his Campaign 2024. So it appears that President Biden is rarin' to go - and plain truths will be aired!

Now I've yet to find an exact time, day or evening, for his Valley Forge speech so here is a speculative 12:00 pm chart for January 6, 2024 marked with my study notes and set for Valley Forge, PA; when the hour is known, we'll want to adjust the timing accordingly:

See upper right corner: Mercury conjuncts the Electoral College Vote Eclipse of December 14, 2020 (@23Sag08) in the discontented 4 South Saros Series, a grumpy eclipse that qualifies as one of the sore loser inspirations for Trump's 'Big Lie'. Here, Mercury's presence @23Sag35 reveals the need for logic and reason to be expressed in Mr. Biden's J6 Address to the nation.

Also of note is that the Solar Return 2024 of Trump's J6 coup attempt actually perfects during the early morning hours of January 7, 2024 with Moon in Scorpio, sign of betrayal, and Sun @16Capricorn+, sign of government, law, and business. This blend of conscious and unconscious energies suggests a period of seriousness, strength of character, and constant vigilance, but with a tendency to remain blind to personal prejudices (The Harveys).

And perhaps it means nothing, but I'm compelled to mention that each year, when the Sun is @16Capricorn, it opposes the natal Nemesis @16Cancer of Herr Trump so that a bright light shines upon his asteroid of the 'unbeatable foe', we might say. My guess is that this will be one effect that President Biden will highlight during his J6 speech at Valley Forge. How could he not?

After all, a reference to Campaign 2024 and the soon-up-for-grabs US presidency must be part of the Sun-Nemesis picture along with Trump's seditionist actions on January 6, 2021.

Horoscope: US Chiron Return April 2024

by Jude Cowell, partisan for democracy

Issuing from the late afternoon July 4, 1776 Horoscope of America (DoI) with its 4th house Chiron @20Ari08, here is the first of three Chiron Returns for America in our era. As you see, multiple astro-notes are penned on the chart, and the dates of Chiron Returns #2 and #3 are listed, upper right corner:

As you see, this Return occurs on April 20, 2024, the day of the Jupiter-Uranus Conjunction and the freedom issues and the potential for breakthroughs that the duo's 14-year meeting tends to herald.

Now other American Horoscopes may be used for Return charts with slightly different results, but one reason I continue to like the late afternoon chart for July 4, 17776 is Chiron's Sabian Symbol and the implications of its the 4th house placement of Roots: because after all, our nation did begin with pugilists (aka, combatants) fighting on behalf of independence and freedom from the Big Bully across the sea. Plus, in general the 4th house = Basis/Foundation, and Domestic Scene (and Ending/The Drain but let's not go there: these are what our country's enemies are attempting to achieve: the ending of America and the destruction of democracy here and worldwide so Vote Blue in 2024).

For as we know in 2024, a Big Bully and his comrades are inside the house and doing as much damage as they can.

Yet despite this, Chiron in Aries is an optimistic placement for the Wounded Healer centaur, aka, The Key, and suggests that for best results, our focus should be on our willingness to take risks on behalf of the freedom to do and know more and this resonates closely with the Jupiter-Uranus Conjunction - on the very same day!

Then as you know, there's another prominent cosmic event due in April 2024: a Great American Eclipse number 3 of 3 @19Ari24, a visionary affair that precisely conjuncts transit Chiron and sets up the globe for disruption and a change of direction!

American Democracy targeted in 1971!

The Powell Memo, Corporatism, and Trump circa 1999

by Jude Cowell, partisan for democracy and the common good

Statism + Corporatism = Fascism. And with the third of three total Great American Eclipses approaching on April 8, 2024, this one falling within the 8 North Saros Series, Year 2024 marks a critical turning point for the United States of America, and thus for the rest of the world. For with democracy on the ballot, brutal fascism demands a do-over of the mayhem, death, and suffering its perpetrators brought upon the world in the days of Mussol*ni and Hitl*r, malignant narcissistic psychopaths as they both were.

Now in our time, another malignant narcissistic psychopath raises his Medusa head and will cheat to steal our votes. But will American voters help him in November 2024 by being that self-destructive and stupid--that eager to toss away any decent future for their children? Has empathy been deleted from the heart of America? Despite all obstacles, will a Blue Tsunami wave of voters on November 5, 2024 save our country from the barbarian onslaught that threatens us? Because that's the sizeable response it will take to push back the bullies and send them packing.

So one reason for this particular fuss is to mention that the Powell Memo of August 23, 1971 was an initiating factor in a Republican-led declaration of war on democracy by the corporate class. So asserts Thom Hartmann today in his How the Monopolists Stole the US Government: How Big Business Destroyed the American Dream, an excerpt from Thom's series of "Hidden History" books. And part of his focus in today's excerpt is Lewis Powell Jr's memo. Plus, "American Dream" reminds us of the 8 North Eclipse's theme of 'dreams and visions', yes?

Well, below is a previously published noon horoscope of the Powell Memo, and naturally the Saros Series which influenced the memorandum is signifiant (actually a letter that Lewis Powell wrote to his friend, the then-director of the Chamber of Commerce). That would be the 9 New South @27Leo15 which I believe triggered by degree the Great American Eclipse of August 21, 2017--the one that Trump removed safety glasses and stared straight up at, playing his "sun god Apollo" role. (If actually born on June 14, 1946 at 10:54 am, asteroid Apollo was rising at his birth.)

Astro-Notes are penned on the 1971 'Powell Memo' Horoscope with additional details messily included; an unmarked 9 New South Eclipse August 20, 1971 Horoscope follows:

Aspects to the 1971 Eclipse: Venus conjunct = fair play vs materialism; Jupiter square = a past lack of integrity brings karmic obligations, a need for ethical behavior; Neptune square = chicanery, deception, fraudulent tendencies, a need for realism and honesty; MC/IC square = a "success at any price" attitude compounds problems, acting like a "big shot" to prove one's capabilities, lack of respect for home and family, skewed values (R. Lineman AFA).

Notably, a 9 New South Eclipse repeats on September 21, 2025 @29Virgo, at Autumn Equinox 2025, conjunct the 1776 Midheaven ('MC" @00Libra+) of America's so-called 'Sibly Horoscope'. Then if you've read SO'W posts before, you know that forewarned is forearmed around here, and America's goals and global status (MC) may very well be affected with the "American Dream" possibly dissipating within a Fascist fog of authoritarianism and cruelty to one's fellow man. That is, if Pro-Democracy Voters fail to turn up at voting booths across the land on November 5, 2024.

Because regressive reactionary Republicans are expressing their vile reptilian brains, don't you think?

For more eclipse details see: 8 North Eclipse 2024 vs 6 North of 1986 (horoscopes shown), a recent post about the visions and dreams of the April 2024 Eclipse blending with the "need for authority and control" themes of 6 North's manifestation during the Reagan Era. Plus, here are astro-notes concerning all three Three Great American Eclipses: 1878, 2017, and 2024.

Donald Trump Considered a Prez Run in 1999

Past 'Trump Events' of 1999: Where's the Integrity?

From Buzzfeed News posted January 6, 2017 came an article by Anne Helen Petersen Donald Trump Showed His Hand in 1999, But No One Was Looking concerning a couple of favorable polls in 1999 - one poll by the National Enquirer if that tells us anything. The article contains a list a few major events for Trump in 1999.

Such as: he finalized his divorce from 2nd wife Marla Maples and began dating Slovenian model Melania Knauss, he gloried in a rejuvenation of the Miss USA pageant, he floated the idea of starting a modeling agency, Big Donnie fought a coalition of Upper West Side residents including Walter Cronkite, Paul Newman, and Kofi Annan over the contruction of a huge tower near the UN building, and he "spent months flirting with a run for president."

To quote Trump in 1999, "If the Reform Party nominated me, I'd probably win. And if I did, I would ask for an immediate recount." Such a jokester! However, ongoing opinions on the street at the time included, "Trump makes things happen," and "he's at home with the guy on the street." (They're so fleeceable: he loves the uneducated, he says.) Now these are the same delusional sentiments that were expressed during the 2016 campaign! But this time is different: he's running again, but trying to avoid prison by regrasping power, and itching to make Fascism happen in America so that he can take revenge on all his enemies, please his bosses, and stay in office until he keels over.

And that, ladies and gents, is America's orange albatross.

A Chiron Return for the Orange Jupiterian

Of Fortune, Speculation, Opportunity, and Politics

by Jude Cowell, partisan for democracy and the common good

Born June 14, 1946 with a 2nd house Chiron @14Lib54:44 snugged between the speculation and grand schemes pair, Jupiter and Neptune, Donald Trump's Chiron Return occurred once on September 4, 1996 (horoscope shown, below). With all the significance this cosmic event occurring around the age of 50 can bring to us all in the areas of health, past hurts, and true life purpose, 1996 seems a prominent year in which to snoop into past Trump events and endeavors for any insights that may appear.

By doing so, I found that there was a wisp in the air back then of the potential for the Orange Jupiterian to run for president, fleeting as the notion was at the time. Perhaps it was one of those PR "run it up the flag pole to see who'll salute" experiments. Anyway, Trump declined, postponing his prez bid for a future year, as we know: 2015. Even so, you may wish to check out Police file: Trump sure of presidential win__in 1996.

Horoscope: Trump Chiron Return September 4, 1996 11:29:08 pm EDT Queens, NY; Gemini Rising with Moon @16Gem49 conjunct Rigel, trine Chiron; next to rise is his natal Uranus-NN-Sun trio; Midheaven ('MC') 20AQ32; as you see, there are major oppositions between the Venus-Mars Conjunction in Cancer and the Uranus-Neptune Conjunction in Capricorn falling across the 2/8 polarity of Money, Possessions, Credit, Debt, and Shared Resources; meanwhile, the Chiron-NN-Mercury trio is (karmically) intercepted in the 5th house of Risk-Taking, while Saturn opposing Mercury suggests obstacles and Trump's "the world is against me" martyrdom whenever it suits his purpose:

So when it comes to locating actual news articles from 1996 that concern Big Donnie and are still available online, financial reports and gossip mongering are the most prominent, although these days you may find all of them fairly loaded down with annoying ads. However, here are a couple that relate to his 2nd house Jupiter-Chiron-Neptune trio with his boundary-and-taboo-breaking Jupiter stationing, as you know:

From July 22, 1996, CNN Money cited Fortune Magazine's Donald Trump: An Ex-Loser Is Back In The Money about how Trump was "pouring over $4 million into the resort" in Atlantic City, what the article called his "biggest bets." Well, we know that despite casinos being a 'sure bet' in the money-making department, "King of Debt" Trump filed for bankruptcy from his gambling misadventures, managed to avoid personal bankruptcy bwo negotiating with creditors, and, despite all the loss, the Orange Jupiterian stated that "Atlantic City Fueled A Lot Of Growth For Me", as noted in a Benzinga article by staff writer Jeannine Mancini, November 13, 2023. Obviously, the current Trump fraud trial in New York has understandably stirred interest in his past financial activities.

Meanwhile, I keep waiting to hear the words "money laundering" attached to his name especially since "A Chinese Laundry" is the Sabian Symbol for his natal 4th house Moon @22Sagittarius. Note that in the lower right corner of the chart the Moon-Chiron trine describes potentials for "Import-export activities' (!), and 'ideas can charm the public' (M. Pottenger). Well, some of the public.

Then intriguingly, transit Chiron now in mid-Aries opposes Trump's natal Chiron in mid-Libra which qualifies as the 'Full Moon culmination phase' of his Chiron Cycle, a halfway point. This opposition is at least part of the basis for 1996 events appearing on Trump's menu these days (hence this post!), plus, this Chirotic period gives him an opportunity to correct past mistakes and make amends, similar to the function of the Saturn Cycle, planet of karma and accountability. Thing is, his Chiron in Libra 'values competition' while Chiron in Aries values the need to 'know more' (M. Pottenger) - like some kind of prosecutor going after the facts a sneaky criminal tries to hide.

And if we add to the picture Trump's natal 10th house Uranus' "18Gemini" degree - his guiding (oriental) planet of chaos, disruption, and rebellion - a curious word picture appears along similar oriental lines, "Two Chinese Men Talking Chinese in a Western Crowd." For me this indicates China lurks behind the Russian involvement with the 2016 election and beyond, not that reporters have been eager in the last few years to mention Trump's China connection, other than his having a bank acount in China, plus, the patents China granted to Ivanka. Trump acts as figurehead for our enemies determined to remove of America from global leadership.

Then on December 30, 2022 came The Guardian's Trump tax returns show China bank account as six years of records released meaning his tax returns from 2015 to 2020. As noted, the Orange Jupiterian announced his run for president in 2015 with the star of extreme misfortune, Scheat involved, and 2020 was his final full year occupying the White House with document-purloining on his mind.

Now you're welcome to disagree, but my suspicion is that the Orange Jupiterian was sent to Washington to do just that.

So there's a look at the Orange Jupiterian for today. A previous post adds context if you wish to consider Trump In the Realms of Jupiter. And yes, he is a huge lot to consider!

Trump Rally Trail for early January 2024 feat. Noem and Greene

Acting as if he's a normal candidate campaigning in a traditional US Election cycle, sans any court appearances, the indicted Mr. Trump has quite a busy schedule lined up as 2024 gets underway.

From the Trump website (and subject to change), here's a list of his early January 2024 rallies and Maga events: all events are scheduled for various locations in the state of Iowa:

Jan 3, 2024: Maga event with Gov. Kristi Noem Sioux City, IA 7:00 pm CST;

Jan 4, 2024: Maga event with Marjorie Taylor Greene Keokuk, IA 7:00 pm CST;

Jan 5, 2024: Caucus Rally Sioux City, IA 4:00 pm CST;

Jan 5, 2024: Caucus Rally Mason City, IA 7:30 pm CST;

Jan 6, 2024: Caucus Rally Newton, IA 1:00 pm CST;

Jan 6, 2024: Caucus Rally Clinton, IA 4:00 pm CST.

Now here's a little Astrology concerning maga Republicans, Noem and Greene, with both women operating under the nebulous influence of their deceptive, delusional Neptunian natures as they angle for a seat at Trump's dystopian table where he intends to serve the special American Carnage dish he and his enablers have been baking since at least January 20, 2017:

For bio details, check out the Wikipedia page of Kristi Noem (nee Arnold) born November 30, 1971 in Watertown, SD under the vibes of a 9 New South Eclipse @27Leo (negative issues: pride, pomposity, vanity) with themes of 'worries over paperwork and/or health issues surface and come home to roost' with a 'feeling of destiny or fatedness attached'; last occurrence in 2007, next 9NS occurs on September 21, 2025 @29Virgo. The first lady governor of South Dakota was born during a Saturn-Neptune opposition suggesting a tendency to always try to avoid paying dues. The Saturn-oppo-Neptune aspect is labeled "SUBTERFUGE" by Alan Oken, plus, her Sun-Neptune conjunction implies an active fantasy life (suitable for fantasist Herr Trump).

Then there's the sparsely filled in Wikipedia page of another fantasist, Marjorie Taylor Greene with her birth date listed as May 27, 1974 (nee Taylor); This gives her Sun in early Gemini opposed by Neptune Rx in early Sagittarius, an aspect Oken labels, The Chameleon and The Psychic, which suggests that 'MTG' is a highly sensitive individual, with a bit of a powder keg temperament, imho. She was born under the auspices of a 12 North Eclipse @3Capricorn (negative issues: selfishness and avarice) with themes of 'accepting commitments due to another person's inability to carry on'. Obviously, with Capricorn trouble with authority figures is involved, as we've seen by her behavior. A 12N Eclipse last manifested in 2010 and the next will occur on January 26, 2028 @6AQ - conjunct US 1776 South Node, a separative influence.

So continuing in US Politics in 2024, we have the curious threesome of Trump, Noem, and Greene - a trio of fantasists now popular with the QAnon/Freedom Caucus crowd, most of whom are not too shabby themselves in the fantasy department. And that's putting it mildly.

To close, here's a related post: Astro-Notes: An American Tragedy of Mass Delusion.
