Jan 23, 2024 karmic Saturn contacts the "Fascism Rising Eclipse"

America 2024: Reich-Wing Politics On Trial

by Jude Cowell, partisan for democracy over fascism

Three times of late transit Saturn, planet of law, the legal system, restriction, limitation, and karma has conjoined the 7 North "Fascism Rising Eclipse" of February 24, 1933 @5Pis28:30. The third 'hit' by Saturn occurred early this morning in Washington DC, and best outcome will be our legal system stopping the violent orange fascist in his despotic hoof tracks.

Now as you see, my study notes are penned on the bi-wheel but I'll add that, in our era, the first and second conjunctions of Saturn to the 7 North Eclipse of 1933 occurred on May 1, 2023 and August 4, 2023, with today's third Saturn conjunction suggesting a potential for the resolution of issues which include (blood -jc) lust:

Multiple Cosmic Time Links via 7 North Eclipses

Dealing with Trump and his comrades and their well known dependency on violence, we have Special Prosecutor Jack Smith who just happens to have been born under the auspices of a 7 North Eclipse, a significant cosmic time link between current events and the prosecution of Trump. Another cosmic time link involving 7 North Eclipses is the fact that a repetition of 7N manifested on April 20, 2023 @29Aries+ - conjunct the degree of warrior planet Mars during Trump's January 6, 2021 coup attempt against the US Congress and our traditional peaceful transfer of power. Obviously, Mars conjunct a solar eclipse suggests rash actions, criminality, and acts of violence. This connection is one of the reasons I've termed the 1933 and 2023 7 North Eclipses as a signifier of "blood" lust. Another reason is its conjunction with Herr Adolf's natal Sun @00Taurus.

In closing, here's a link to a bi-wheel of charts showing the coup attempt's Breach! time (2:15 pm est) on January 6, 2021 with US 1776 Uranus rising and a speculative J6/Election Interference Trial horoscope (March 4, 2024 unless delayed) surrounding it. Unsurprisingly, both events involve interference by Uranian chaos agent D. John Trump who longs to take over America as an unaccountable monarchical dictator. And such an anti-democratic urge, my friends, is as un-American as can possibly be.

Kyrsten Sinema needed at the border

Senator Kyrsten Sinema; official portrait 2018

Senator Sinema is a Moon-Saturn Kind of Gal

by Jude Cowell

So far these last few years, I've managed to avoid publishing the natal horoscope of former Democrat, now "Independent" Senator Kyrsten Sinema. But with her name in the news again in relation to US-Mexico border issues, her natal Moon-Saturn opposition across the self-willed Leo-Aquarius polarity - which lands upon America's 1776 Nodal Axis - may be worth a review if one hasn't previously. Actually, that would be yours truly, for I've ignored her disloyalty and money-grabbing activities in Congress as often as possible.

Now if memory serves, Sinema's childhood is known to have been a difficult one of poverty, as many others have been. One indication of this in her chart is the Moon-Saturn opposition between Mummy and Daddy, if we want to consider it on such a level with emotional deprivation part of the lunar picture. Thing is, this opposition tends to affect health but can simultaneously provide the individual with a deep urge for wordly accomplishment, or in other words, it suggests a highly ambitious nature. Self-reliance comes along with it and can often give a loner personality and an independent streak.

My concern now is Election 2024, the changes it will bring, and the fact that Sinema's natal Moon conjuncts US South Node (fluctuating popularity; emotional disengagement) while her Saturn conjuncts US North Node (public responsibility; contacts with more mature folk such as senators). Now I agree that her 10th house of Career and Public Status is stunningly full of her Sun, Mercury, Venus, and Saturn so chances are we're not rid of her just yet, no matter what career path she decides to take. Lucrative lobbying seems to attract but may not be prominent enough to suit her ambitions. After all, her money-bags planet Jupiter is in the 8th house of Big Business and Shared Resources, while erratic Uranus and North Node, a duo of radical politics, rise in 1st house of Self, making the highly intelligent Kyrsten Sinema definitely a woman to watch - and a difficult woman to fathom or predict!

Meanwhile, Republicans continue calling conditions at the Southern border a "crisis" of national security yet they refuse to cooperate on a solution because it would benefit President Biden and other Democrats. Selfish much?! Well, one must wonder just how security-minded Republicans are - if they are.

And so admittedly, if Kyrsten Sinema can somehow loosen the political log jam concerning Southern border issues, I'll have to change my view of the quirky Senator from Arizona.

Iran Horoscope with Jan 2024 Sun-Pluto

by Jude Cowell, partisan for the common good

Here is a bi-wheel of Iran's Islamic Republic Horoscope (Campion #159, one of three) in center surrounded by the Sun-Pluto Conjunction of January 20, 2024 @29Cap59 set for Tehran, and opposing Iran's 1979 Jupiter @29Can04 (12th house).

Prominent planetary contacts are circled, plus, a few potentials are penned on the image; the timing of Iran's chart is based on Ayatollah Khomeini's radio proclamation; as you see, it's a Sun-Pluto situation:

Well, here's a news story of Sun-Pluto proportions involving world leaders:

Iran's Desire for a 'Seat at the Table' felt at Davos. But with Sun and Pluto opposing Iran's Jupiter, there are blockages to the country's increase of power and status. However, the blockages are not necessarily permanent because even slow poke Pluto will soon creep on into Aquarius and his opposition to 1979 Jupiter will weaken.

Stormy Daniels at the Hush Money Trial

by Jude Cowell, partisan for the common good

Now Donald Trump won't like this news at all, but Stormy Daniels says she's set to testify in Trump's Hush Money Trial currently set for March 25, 2024. Note that on March 25, 2024 comes a Lunar Eclipse @5Lib07 - conjunct Trump's natal Neptune so obviously, information concerning scandals, financial payments, secrets, and/or fraud will be revealed, plus, there may even be a mention of cults with urge-to-merge Neptune involved.

Because as you know, Stormy (aka, Stephanie Clifford) was one of the recipients of thousands of dollars in October 2016 intended to keep her quiet about Trump's extramarital activities with her because the November 2016 Election was upcoming and a sex scandal could look bad for candidate Trump. Not that his adulterous behavior was bad, but the scandal would have been a bad look for the aging orange playboy just days before the 2016 election.

From Reuters: Timeline of Trump's Alleged Hush Money Payments and Criminal Charges; and from CBS News: Trump's scheduled trial dates and where they fall in the presidential primary calendar.

Shown below is The Natal Chart of Stormy Daniels with Sappho Rising and Trump natal planets penned around the outside; as you see, a major connection is her Pluto conjunct his Jupiter; plus, transit Pluto @29Capricorn has been opposing her natal Jupiter Rx @29Can07 and her 8th cusp so the trial is a big-time Jupiter-Pluto situation about sex, money, and power:

Follow the above link for astro-notes concerning this chart. And here's Stormy Daniels' unmarked natal horoscope for you:

Like Oil and Water, Politics and Religion Do Not Mix

So thanks to Stormy Daniels, the best information I've found explaining Trump's Cult of Personality and his profane mix of politics and religion is the podcast episode of Stormy's interview with Dr. Steven Hassan, well known cult deprogrammer and author of the 2020 book, The Cult of Trump (#ad).

Well, if Trump is in any way "the chosen one" as he's been told and promoted by evangelicals, then they're being tested and these misguided cult followers have failed America and the world miserably. According to the Bible I've read since childhood, Herr T is a false prophet, more like. For as you know, the Bible predicts false prophets arising in Earth's latter days. You know - like one year ago in the desert at Trump's first campaign stop, a rally at Waco, Texas where the tragic Siege at Waco took place in 1993. We should note that skewed cult leader 'David Koresh' considered himself a prophet, too. The Trump rally 'celebrated' the anniversary of the carnage of 1993.

Podcast: Beyond the Norm with Stormy Daniels

Now Dr. Hassan says that leaders of cults such as the Christian Nationalists, Moonies, The Family, the 7 Mountain Dominionists (like Maga Mike Johnson), Opus Dei, and others have instructed their members to gather beneath the gloriousness that is Trump on his path to ultimate political power where religionists think they can 'reform' the United States of America into a paternalistic theocracy, handmaids in the kitchen. And perhaps their advice to flock to Trump is so that their shared dream of ending our world can come true sooner rather than later, they think - as if Almighty God needs their puny help with timing issues! Paradoxically, a gold-worshiping man like Trump lays up his treasure on the Earth, therefore, ending this world cannot possibly be his goal. Oil and water do not mix!

Magical Thinking Fits His "Power of Positive Thinking"

Now as you know, Trump's accepted natal horoscope shows a 2nd house Jupiter-Neptune Conjunction in Venus-ruled Libra which just happens to have Wounded Chiron in the center of the magical thinking duo. This suggests that some kind of wounding occurred to his grand schemes/grand spirit/speculation/bubbly pair of Jupiter (stationary and boundary-breaking) and Neptune, so often a planet of fraud and deception. This means that every Jupiter Return for him and every transiting or progressed aspect between the two planets (their last conjunction April 12, 2022 @23Pis59--still in effect until their next conjunction March 24, 2035 @21Ari21) may ping his 2nd house trio into taking action such as overblown rhetorical flourishes and/or the promotion of financial schemes.

Meanwhile, back in 2022, when we discussed the Magical Thinking of Jupiter-Neptune and the duo's connection to overblown rhetoric, unfulfilled promises, grand schemes (religious, financial, and otherwise), and "unfounded or foolish legal situations" (M. Munkasey) I had no inkling that in 2024 the news would surface that the Cult of Trump, a death cult similar to the Nazi Death Cult of the 1930s and 40s, would so intimately involve magical thinking with multiple cult leaders having instructed their members to gather under the tent of the Trump Cult of Personality. For some folks, Chiron symbolizes the priesthood, too, and so certain groups have banded together behind Trump, the so-called "chosen one," to forcefully fulfill their shared goal, but they are being utilized as a tool by the political class who have their own power-grabbing purposes - and they have wealthy backers to please.

All the cultishness and more is detailed in the podcast episode linked below, in a discussion between host Stormy Daniels and, as noted, her guest Dr. Steven Hassan, a former Moonie cult member, who now deprograms cult members and, as previousy noted, authors books such as The Cult of Trump. Check out their informative interview:

Stormy Talks with MAGA Cult Deprogrammer Dr. Steven Hassan. It's well worth a listen!

And in case you've yet to see it, here's a link to the latest ad by The Lincoln Project So God made a dictator. Absolutely brilliant. But I suspect that Trump won't like this either.

D. 'John' Trump defies The Magna Carta

Does an 'Evil King John' Lurk Among Us Again?

by Jude Cowell, partisan for democracy and the common good

As many political pundits apparently believe, Trump's "Divine Right of Kings" Claim probably won't hold up at the Supreme Court, as tentatively stated in a recent MSN editorial.

And as we know, the Magna Carta, which King John was forced by a group of barons to sign, was a document created in order to limit the power of rulers and rid society of the tyrannical "Divine Right of Kings," among other things.

After all, the document was signed under the influences of a 10 South Eclipse in pioneering Aries - conjunct Ceres, asteroid archetype of democracy and the nurturing and protective mother! Progressing the Magna Carta Horoscope to this very today we reach an evolved Sun Virgo-Moon Leo blend of potentials for "monarch vs servant," high standards and intellectual strength, along with a tendency to "mother the world." Plus, one of the blend's Images for Integration tracks: "A science museum inside a medieval castle" (The Harveys).

10 South themes are listed, lower right corner.

So here from my files is the document's Sun-at-Midheaven Horoscope with a few study notes penned on: Magna Carta June 15, 1215 12:00 pm LMT Runnymeade, England with separative Uranus @00Lib02 rising at a Cardinal World Point of Manifestation, and sporting a positive potential for coping ability:

Note: You'll find a few differences between the above chart and the Windsor GMT version of the Magna Carta Horoscope if you wish to have look.

Subsequently, the Magna Carta's power limitations and other provisions have formed the basis for multiple agreements through the centuries such as the Declaration of Independence. Significant to our current day is the lawlessness inherent within the Divine Right of Kings to perpetrate any and all crimes (ex: assassinating political rivals), and this is what Tr*mp's bogus "absolute immunity" claim (aka, "presidential immunity") is all about: to ignore the Magna Carta so that the orange mobster can run wild and abandon the rule of law, during what the scofflaw hopes will be his second term lurking in the Venusian Oval Office, removing all legal cases against him - oh, and selling the rest of America's secrets to the highest bidder.

So besides primal violence (Pluto), his threat to Magna Carta provisions spotlights his intention to destroy the US Constitution (too limiting for a fac*st!) so that the American Carnage he threatened on January 20, 2017 can proceed uninterrupted, and revenge against, and purging of (both Plutonian goals), his opponents may be perpetrated without any accountability laid upon his guilty doorstep. And yes, his plans include murder, one of assassin Pluto's most sinister roles. We scoff at such a suggestion at our peril.

Then astrologically, one obvious place Tr*mp's primal violence urges may be found is in his natal 12th house of the Unconscious (and of Self-Undoing and prisons!) through his fatality-prone midpoint picture of Mars-Saturn = Pluto, with Mars-Saturn known as the death axis, and "the death of many people" being a consequence of its potentials (R. Ebertin).

You Didn't Drink a Bleach Cocktail, Did You?

Of course, we've already seen and experienced tragic consequences with one example being millions of Covid deaths in the US occurring during his "presidential term" - and now we're seeing another possible result of his 12th house midpoint picture, a more positive one, via the legal system: "intervention of a higher power." But of course, agent orange is a hostage-taker and he threatens dire retaliation if he should face a prison cell. After all, his natal Tisiphone Rx @22Sagittarius, asteroid of retaliation, conjuncts his natal Moon-Sun opposition upon the fated Nodal axis - and his Mars in Leo opposes and targets US 1776 Moon in late Aquarius = his aggression against the American People is plainly shown.

So in closing, my thoughts include the assertion that the world has already experienced one evil King John centuries ago and we do not need or seek another in order to discover what such tyranny brings because we already know what dangers to expect from an unsavory Tr*mp v2 model.

Of note is the Wikipedia page of the Magna Carta containing historical details, plus, a list of the signatory Surety Barons, some of which are my ancestors and probably yours, too! If you're registered with geni dot com, you can easily check them out.

When Pluto Conjuncts US South Node

7 Aquarius: "A Child Born Of An Eggshell"

by Jude Cowell

The following horoscopes and post belong in Stars Over Washington's "forearmed is forewarned" category. As such, it may not be suitable for every reader so please monitor yourselves.

Below is a bi-wheel of charts set for Washington DC:

March 18, 2027 with transit Pluto @6AQ35 conjunct US 1776 South Node (1st such conjunction since April 6, 1781) in center surrounded by November 16, 2028, the 5th of 5 conjunctions from transit Pluto to US 1776 South Node (the 1st since December 8, 1782). The July 4, 1776 Horoscope 5:09 pm LMT Philadelphia, PA is used for this post with our 1776 South Node @6AQ35 in 2nd house although other US charts may be preferred and will provide similar results and dates. As you see, there are two time periods involved approximately 246 years apart because with Pluto it's karma a long time coming.

Hopefully you can see my notes penned on the image, for there's an intense Moon-Pluto signature along with the Pluto-SN implications (similar to the harsh Pluto-Saturn duo), plus, the fifth and final conjunction in November 2028 occurs as a New Moon @25Scorpio43/55 is beginning to wane:

Also significant is the fact that, between the two dates and cosmic events you see pictured above, a 12 North Solar Eclipse will manifest on January 26, 2028 @6AQ11:01 at 10:12:28 am est Washington DC - conjunct transit Pluto (eclipse chart not shown) and conjunct US South Node suggesting past events involving power and the collective. On a positive level Pluto conjunct Eclipse indicates a powerful, charismatic leader. Negatively it suggests such things as gang wars, rape, and other criminal offences (R. Lineman).

But as we know, such is creepy Pluto of the Criminal Underworld: organized crime, debauchery, and yes--the papacy. Obviously, America will continue to need a strong leader who will fight against the global criminal network/s (as we need now), someone who understands that this is what it will take to vanquish saboteurs, traitors, and other bad faith actors.

Now here are the dates when slow-moving Pluto did, and will, conjunct US South Node; for both time periods it's 5x each, all @6AQ35:

1. April 6, 1781

2. June 7, 1781

3. February 1, 1782

4. August 28, 1782

5. December 8, 1782

And:

1. March 18, 2027 (shown above)

2. June 30, 2027

3. January 21, 2028

4. September 19, 2028

5. November 16, 2028 (shown above).

Further clues may be found by sleuthing into events and conditions during 1781 and 1782, years of the American Revolution, and since we know that history has a habit of rhyming rather than repeating, we'll have opportunities to better deal with Pluto-SN conditions, events, and the people who instigate them so that the positive "powerful, charismatic leader" can be the primary outcome and this will make all the difference.

No, things won't be easy over the next few years but we can manage. Because after all, forewarned is forearmed - so, dear reader, do America a solid and pass this example of measured optimism around!

January 2024: Big Trouble at the NRA

On January 5, 2024, the NRA tweeted that Wayne LaPierre will resign from his top position in the organization as of January 31, 2024. His resignation comes amidst his current civil corruption trial in Manhattan, NY which opens this Monday (1/8/24), last I heard.

For reference, here's a previously published dual image with NRA November 17, 1871 and the group's current Jupiter Return Horoscope from 2014, still in effect until Summer 2026:

Significant planetary transits are now affecting the NRA Horoscope of November 17, 1871 and the most obviously connected to LaPierre's corruption trial and to the group's dwindling membership fees in recent years is transit Pluto opposing the organization's Jupiter (exalted in Cancer, and at Station Rx @29Can55: '30Cancer' = "A Daughter of the American Revolution" -- interesting, since the NRA is a Civil-War-era concoction). Note that 1871 Jupiter conjuncts the group's intense Venus-Pluto midpoint which suggests a picture of "Propagation of destructive impulses" and/or "intense feelings of pleasure from power or destruction" (M. Munkasey).

Of course, bankruptcy is a lurking potential when this planetary duo is involved, so hopefully a full-on search for hidden rubles has been done, perhaps offshore and in foreign bank accounts and super-secret vaults. What Mr. LaPierre hasn't frittered away, that is.

Perhaps you've seen this 3M26S video clip The NRA lies about its bankruptcy filing.

Because we know that the Venus-Pluto duo hints at "extremes of private wealth hidden in secret places" and to finances (as does Jupiter), and to "attracting elements of organized crime" (M.M.). Well, guns do that, don't they?

Anyway, the Pluto-Jupiter opposition, coming on for some time, reveals a period of legal battles with financial consequences. One example you may remember: NY AG Letitia James squashed the group's plan to transfer their assets from New York to Texas.

Simultaneously, other current transits include Uranus Rx @19Taurus conjunct 1871 Pluto (past control may be lost; abrupt changes), legal eagle planet Saturn square 1871 Mercury (opinions challenged, delays, blocked communications), and North Node conjunct 1871 Neptune (meetings about corruption and fraud).

Well, it's all karmic, isn't it? An established organization taken low by its own underhandedness and now legal eagle Saturn makes decisions for its future. Of course, Chapter 11 filing would mean the NRA could reorganize--so maybe they'll behave in a more upright fashion in the future. What do you think?
