2024 Progressions of an Orange Con Man

by Jude Cowell, partisan for democracy and the common good

Although his name shall not be mentioned within this post, you know whose current Secondary Progressions ('SP') the following information refers to, yes?

Radix Horoscope: June 14, 1946 10:54 am Queens, New York; accuracy of his birth data is probable if not 100% certain. My suspicious nature has always suggested an earlier rising degree of 22/23Leo, the own worst enemy, foot in mouth degree. Yet we're seeing the caution of rising Regulus begin to play out in multiple courtrooms where his obsession with taking revenge is not avoided - it's even promised! - with the ultimate result that everything gained shall be taken away. Add his natal Mars rising in boastful, dramatic Leo and his aggressive, grudge-holding, quarreling nature is clear.

So where is the orange-hued fellow on the evolutionary scale?

Using the day-for-a-year method of evolving his natal planets (which are now grouped into the squished-up Bundle shape of a dictator), we find that his natal Sun-Moon personality blend of Gemini-Sagittarius ("the pied piper" combo) has become Sun Virgo-Moon Scorpio with the SP Moon conjunct SP Ascendant (@2Sco24) having recently entered Scorpio - today @00Sco10. Meanwhile, SP Sun is @7Vir14, an Earth-Water personality blend.

Sun Virgo-Moon Scorpio potentials: opinionated, pious (!), subjective, long-suffering (playing the martyr role), a vindictive despiser of weakness; zealous and judgmental with a lack of empathy (The Harveys).

On the health front, one interesting factor is that his SP Moon opposes his SP Hygeia Rx @1Tau41 upon the Asc-Desc axis. Then as you know, his natural weaknesses with Leo rising include heart and spine, plus, a hereditary issue may exist from his maternal side due to a Moon-South-Node conjunction in Jupiter-ruled Sagittarius (liver, gall bladder, spleen). Additionally, Scorpio prominent tends to add sex-related potentials such as infections, and/or surgical procedures. Just musin' not wishin'!

Current SP Midpoint Pictures of the orange albatross include:

Saturn-Pluto = MC (8Leo56): "one-sidedness; severity; desire to rise from difficult circumstances through the application of tenacity and endurance; self-sacrifice ("I am your retribution," he moans); a magician, an adept (the devil's apprentice?); separation (flight)."

Neptune-North-Node = Pluto (12Leo11): "exercising a bad influence upon associations between people; the breakdown between people living together."

Neptune-MC = Sun (7Vir14): "putting on an act; hiding one's character by the pretense of qualities one does not have; physical disguise; discontent with one's occupation; vacillation, indecision."

Well, I hope this information may be useful for you as we in America face Election 2024 with trepidation. After all, one candidate is a boastful, low-charactered narcissist, pretending to think he's above the law, but now facing a measure of accountability for his actions that he's never seen before because there's never been anything like it!

Horoscope: Jordan May 25, 1946

by Jude Cowell, partisan for democracy and World Peace

With the humanitarian tragedy in the Middle East worsening since the October 7, 2023 Hamas attack on Israel, Palestinian refugees have few options for reaching safety for their families. However, Jordan is acccepting Palestinians into their country so perhaps the May 25, 1946 horoscope of Jordan may be informative for those who wish to see the planetary influences operative during this dangerous time.

Adding to the complexities in the region, three American deaths by drone have occurred in the country and tension is high, yet President Biden now says he's decided how to respond to the attack in Jordan.

So below you see Jordan's noon horoscope, number 174 in Nicholas Campion's The Book of World Horoscopes (#ad). You'll notice that a few of Jordan's positions are close to the natal positions of D. Trump since he was born in New York USA approximately three weeks later; a few astro-notes are penned on the chart which may or may not be useful:

A Coup Attempt *Before* Election 2024?

Cosmic Signposts Include a Lunar Eclipse in March

by Jude Cowell, partisan for a constitutional democracy

When we recently discussed how 8 South themes will affect Election 2024, I had not yet run across a tweet from @TheJackHopkins which lays out possibilities for Trump and his enablers to stage a second fascist take-over attempt before the November 2024 Election. Mentioned in his tweet is the disturbing fact that America has multiple military bases in Southern states, including several in one of the original secessionist states, Texas, where the upcoming total Great American Eclipse will enter our country on April 8, 2024, bringing 8 North themes of visions and dreams.

Now the March total lunar eclipse in Libra is enough of a signpost for our risky times especially coming after the forceful, angry 7 South Solar Eclipse of October 14, 2023, but since Mr. Hopkins also mentioned that potential time frames (for the sake of an attack's surprise element) could likely include late February 2024 or March 2024, I was compelled to take a look at the lunations manifesting in the months of February and March 2024 (see the list, below).

As it turns out, interesting cosmic time links exist most prominently including the Lunar Eclipse of March 25th occurring just prior to the April 8th Solar Eclipse in pioneering, Mars-ruled Aries. Trump's Neptune, planet of secrets, fraud, disguise, big dreams, and deception will be under the eclipse spotlight, and his Chiron-Jupiter in 2nd house, will be roped in as well. They are a trio, after all.

So obviously, the legal cases against him will also be on display under the Full Moon along with his Neptunian lies, fraud, theft, and intrigue - and perhaps more disastrously than before. We'll have to see, won't we? As for the very day of the Libra Lunar Eclipse, the current schedule shows his New York Election Interference Trial listed for March 25th but the date is subject to change, of course.

Moon Eclipses: Inconvenient Facts, Secrets, Scandals

Above is a bi-wheel of the March 25, 2024 Lunar Eclipse with Trump's natal horoscope surrounding it. As you see, the eclipse lands directly upon Herr T's 2nd house Neptune and astro-notes are penned on for your consideration. Transit Sun opposing his natal Neptune is signficant as well for it marks a time when fantasies, wishful thinking, and distorted perceptions based on emotional biases are under scrutiny - for him, in a court room, or otherwise.

So in closing, here is the list of February and March 2024 Lunations (New and Full Moons):

February 9: New Moon @20AQ41;

February 24: @5Vir23;

March 10: New Moon @20Pis17;

March 25: Full Moon Eclipse @5Lib07 (chart shown above).

Could American Politicians Be Running Drugs Over Border? - clip

Speaking of America's "crisis at the border," a very interesting discussion occurred recently between Thom Hartmann and a caller to his show:

Astrologically, a planetary combination which relates closely to drug use, abuse, trafficking, and smuggling, is the organized crime duo of Neptune and Pluto which met in Great Conjunction three times in 1891 and 1892 - conjunct US 1776 Uranus ("going to extremes with drugs" - Munkasey). See Drug smuggling in the US goes back to the 19th century (history.com).

Then there's a previous post from 2022 concerning the topic of illegal substances and Tricky Dick Nixon's cynical use of the issue for selfish political purposes - just as Trump intends to use conditions at the US-Mexico border as a talking point in his 2024 campaign rhetoric against President Biden:

Nixon's "War On Drugs" scam must end, an improvement which may not comport with drug smugglers of the political persuasion.

8 South themes will affect Election 2024

'Wild Card' Eclipses, Historical and Political Events

by Jude Cowell

News has gotten around that yet another Great American Eclipse will manifest in the 8 North Saros Series on April 8, 2024 @19Ari24 conjunct wounded healer Chiron at the same position. This is the third of three such solar eclipses, total and visible across the United States beginning in Texas. Most folks remember the previous Great American Eclipse of August 21, 2017 @28Leo52 conjunct Regulus, the 'kingmaker' star that rises in the natal horoscope of D. John Trump (if his 10:54 am est birth time is accurate). He demonstrated his Apollo rising with royal Regulus and aggressive Mars when he removed safety glasses and looked directly at the total eclipse as if he's a "sun god" (in his own mind). Yet as you know, Leo is one of the signs of royalty (pride and vanity).

Even so, no one alive remembers the very first Great American Eclipse of 1878. So here's a previous SO'W post from 2022 concerning all three eclipses, all total, all visible within the U.S.

And yet this post isn't about these eclipses, it's about the 8 South Eclipse of October 2, 2024 for it's the one that will influence Election 2024 and Inauguration 2025 with 8S themes of "loss; separation; partings; to finish something and feel sad at its completion; possible physical injury through overstrain"; take it easy (paraphrasing B. Brady's Predictive Astrology #ad). Here are DC Horoscopes of 8 South Eclipses with their aspect grids:

May 16, 1501 Eclipse @4Gem51

October 2, 2024 Eclipse @10Lib03

Shown above are both horoscopes of 8 South Eclipses set for DC: first, its initial Eclipse of May 16, 1501 @4Gem51 which provides the lens through which to consider all subsequent 8 South Eclipses via its Mercury-ruled sign of Gemini and applied to the upcoming 8 South Eclipse in Venus-ruled Libra, also an Air sign. Gemini: news, communication, oration, trade, teaching; and Libra: diplomacy, beauty, relationships, and the Scales of Justice.

Notably, 10Libra03 lands squarely inside Trump's natal 2nd hou$e and within his trio of Neptune-Chiron-Jupiter with its grand scheme, fraud, and speculation influences. And as the entire world knows, Big Donald is now within a period of being held accountable for the first time in his life.

Meanwhile, in Political Astrology, the initial and upcoming 8 South eclipses suggest that their combined Mercury-Venus influences are worth pondering within the Hegelian Dialectic model aptly used by Michael Munkasey:

Thesis: A mixture of business and society; beautification programs for highways; news about the status of wealth; social psychology, the study of people.

Antithesis: a business sector at odds with society; speeches which emhasize economic facts; propaganda about the ease and quality of life; debates on added costs; a transportation system that places beauty over function. (Paraphrasing, Midpoints: Unleashing the Power of the Planets, M.M. #ad).

You recognize that some of these Mercury-Venus potentials are operative now, don't you? And last but not least, when solar eclipses occur in Air signs, logic must be placed about personal biases and emotional attitudes - and judgments must be based on facts and truth (R. Lineman). If karmic progress is the goal.

One more Eclipse Note: 8 South Eclipses have also manifested in the years 1916, 1934, 1952, 1970, 1988, 2006, (2024), and next in 2042 @21Libra, which by degree will stimulate or activate themes of the 7 South Eclipse of October 14, 2023 which is in effect as as I type this post. Follow the link for a view of 7 South's initial manifestation in 1248 and its repetition on October 14, 2024 @21Libra. Repetitions of eclipses are so that humanity has opportunities to handle events and conditions better the next time around.

May-June 2024: A Lucky Donald Trump?

by Jude Cowell, partisan for a democratic Republic

Anyone familiar with the natal planets of one Donald Trump are aware of his "lucky" trine between his 2nd house Jupiter Stationary @17Libra and his 10th house Uranus @17Gemini, his guiding planet of chaos and disruption. The aspect seems to have made possible a so-called get out of jail free card for his use at various times in life (out of trouble certainly) and their fortunate energies may be able to create 'the magic' once again.

Adding to the pair's energies of lucky breaks and break-throughs, there's also the upcoming Jupiter-Uranus Conjunction in money sign Taurus which perfects on April 20, 2024 @21Tau50--near Trump's natal Midheaven ('MC')--as luck would have it.

Tr Jupiter to natal MC and Tr Uranus to natal MC

Above you see a dual image of two horoscopes: May 1, 2024 (lower left) at the moment transit Jupiter conjuncts Trump's natal Midheaven @24Tau18 (but does so only once this time around in its nearly 12-year cycle) with its optimism and international career and travel opportunities, and June 3, 2024 (upper right) the first of three times that transit Uranus reaches his natal MC with the planet's quirky tendencies toward changes in career, perhaps to the point of a catalyzing him into taking a new direction professionally and/or in relation to his public status.

This Uranian transit period is extended due to retrogradation, and the other two dates are penned on the chart: December 10, 2024 and March 21, 2025, aka, Spring Equinox 2025.

Now several potentials are added to the charts and include significant health indicators (exs: Moon-NN = immune system; lymphatic system; tonsils, spleen; and ASC 13Virgo = esophagus and ASC 2Gemini = hepatic arteries)). There are other health indications as well but no room on the image to list them.

Simultaneously, there are his visible career and public status difficulties and strains due to the multiple legal and felonious jams he's in.

And no, this career criminal doesn't deserve to skate from accountability but that's the point of displaying these two horoscopes: the blighter is a lucky guy with friends in high places--however, unsavory, complicit, and enabling they may be. So spotlighting these are dates are meant for those following 'the trials' of Donald J. Trump. Not for his sake, but because he's America's albatross and our country's destiny is tragically tied to his.

Elise Stefanik July 2, 1984

by Jude Cowell, partisan for democracy over fascism

From the Wikipedia page of Republican congress member Elise Stefanik we learn that she was born July 2, 1984 in Albany, New York, with Sun in Cancer, Moon in either Leo or Virgo, and under the restrictive rays of a 4 North Solar Eclipse.

So below, without a known birth hour and a mispelled surname (mea culpa!), is what little I can ascertain about Trump supporter Elise Stefanik based on a noon natal horoscope; note that Stefanik has done a complete one-eighty concerning the J6 insurrection/coup attempt and now shills on behalf of D. John Trump and wants to be Trump's running mate, says a recent op-ed in The Guardian:

And here's an unmarked noon horoscope with Stefanik's name spelled correctly:
