Felon nominee taps JD Vance as VP sidekick

by Jude Cowell, partisan for democracy

While at Yale University, JD Vance met future wife Usha Chilukuri who has law clerked for such justices as Kavanaugh and Roberts. White there, the pair collaborated to organize a discussion group focused on the topic, "social decline in white America." One can guess that Vance's best-selling book resulted in part from this study.

Word is, JD Vance converted to Catholicism about 5 years ago and we see his Neptune Rx @29Sag01 in his natal chart with Neptune's rounded-up Sabian Symbol, "The Pope Blessing the Faithful."

Now as a freshman US senator, Vance has been described as "a right-wing populist" and a "neo-reactionary." Born August 2, 1984 in Middletown, Ohio (Butler Co), the suave JD Vance can be willful and rebellious according to his Sun Leo-Moon Libra personality blend, detailed underneath his noon horoscope image.

August 2, 1984 "noon" Middletown, Ohio

Because the Moon remained in Libra for the 24 hours of his birthdate, we know that Mr. Vance was born under the influence of a fire-air Sun Leo-Moon Libra combination of conscious-unconscious energies. Fire-Air blends are charismatic "live wires" full of ideas and zeal, are long-winded with bluster and bombast - even to the point of getting carried away by their own rhetorical eloquence.

Plus, Sun Leo-Moon Libra is a bossy blend that is intellectually curious, a lover of luxury, and tends toward an imperious manner. Only his intellectual curiosity doesn't track with Herr Trump's personality! Additionally, Vance is a stubborn guy as is Trump so we'll see how their relationship proceeds.

And yet it may go well, for a while (at least until Vance outshines his narcissitic comrade) because Sun Leo-Moon Libra types have a darker, more serious side to them that can lead to controversy and provocative behavior - perfect for hurling accusations against political opponents. Perhaps this includes his past public assessment of Herr Trump as "America's Hitler." So who does Vance aspire to be: "America's Goebbles"?

But for now, their relationship may trend closer to one of Trump's touted "bromances"!

Weaknesses of this blend include: Vanity, unconscious snobbishness, self-righteousness about moral issues (a Catholic convert) who tends to lean on others without always acknowledging their support, and/or a lazy streak which may occasionally surface (Sun Sign-Moon Sign, Charles and Suzi Harvey #ad). He has changed his name, too, and was born James Donald Bowman.

Themes of the 4 North Saros Series

As for the Prenatal Solar Eclipse Saros Series ('PE') into which Baby JD was born, that would be the difficult 4 North Series which manifested for him on May 30, 1984 @9Gem26 conjunct US 1776 Uranus (8:55), and Trump's natal PE (8:46). Themes of 4 North include: restriction, restraint, inhibition, separation, and illusions. Obstacles occur and there's a tendency to misjudge strength or the situation (B. Brady).

4 North Eclipses have manifested in the years 1912, 1930, 1948, 1966, (1984), 2002, 2020 (Summer Solstice Eclipse June 21st @00Cancer), and next in 2038. Meanwhile, the initial 4 North Solar Eclipse occurred May 25, 1389 @12Gem08 with 1389 Pluto at the currently significant degree of 24Tau47, a disturbing cosmic time link with Herr T's natal Midheaven.

The Eclipse of Thomas M. Crooks

by Jude Cowell, partisan for democracy

The shooting of Donald Trump soon after he took the rally stage in Butler, PA on Saturday July 13, 2024 represents a complicated situation and complex astrological factors are involved in any attempt to describe or understand it. So in order to keep from writing an e-book about it, here are four horoscopes in bi-wheel form with my astro-notes penned on.

Instructive is a bi-wheel with a speculatively timed natal horoscope of T. M. Crooks born September 20, 2003 in Bethel Park, PA (inner) with the Trump Shot Horoscope set for 6:13 pm edt. Adjust the timing as you will, because hours that the first shot pinged past the stage from a distant AR-15-style rifle have appeared in a variety of sources from 6:00 pm to 6:15 pm edt. Yet as you see, with a birth time of 6:13 pm edt, Crooks' natal Moon @21Can36 was conjoined on July 13, 2024 (6:13 pm edt) by the Sun @21Can59, which suggests a measure of fulfillment or completion. Of the young man's life, as it tragically turned out. Plus, Cancer Moons are supersensitive and can be highly impressionable, you know.

The 5 North Eclipse of Thomas Crooks

Now there are multiple cosmic indications that the mother of Tom Crooks is somehow involved and according to his Wikipedia bio page, he lost his mother at age 7 (edit: this may not be accurate) so that deep anguish and emotional depression are givens. His classmates have described him as a loner (5N's Sun-Moon = Venus-Saturn marked on the Eclipse chart, below, which denotes a lonely life).

The bi-wheel showing the natal Eclipse Saros Series that young Crooks was born into, the 5 North (inner, and accurately timed) with its "prophetic dreams, visions, hunches" - basically he was psychic) - surrounded by the Mars-Uranus Conjunction Horoscope of July 15, 2024 @26Tau19 that conjuncts the natal Midheaven of Donald Trump, a dangerous cosmic factor that we discussed on July 5, 2024.

Now as you've heard, Tom Crooks was bullied every day at school, a condition often leading to vengfulness which we'e seen before - as in Columbine 1999. Yet we may never know exactly why Crooks, a registered Republican, acted against demagogue Trump. Yes, I have my inklings (to stop his election and the dystopian Project 2025 agenda? Some other Maga person would take over instead). You may find other implications of why? on the charts, but with this sensitive topic I must be careful not to even remotely cause harm. Plus, the families affected by Crooks' actions - one man killed, at least two people seriously injured - deserve attention and our concern if and as it's wanted. Besides, we know that Trump is dandy fine and is already in Milwaukee for RNC 2024. Accusations against Democrats are on steroids now!

Another bi-wheel shows the natal chart of Thomas M. Crooks who, as noted, was born into the 5 North with its themes of "prophetic dreams, visions, hunches" - basically he was psychic) surrounded, not by the Mars-Uranus Conjunction Horoscope of July 15, 2024 @26Tau19 conjunct the natal Midheaven of Donald Trump, a dangerous cosmic factor that we discussed on July 5, 2024, but by the Trump shot chart.

Now feel free to disagree with any of this, but there it is. Cautiously, I don't wish to type anymore about our current American Tragedy and although I disagree with everything Trump says, is, and does, that he remains alive is more of a positive than a negative thing for America, my only nag in the race.

2 Democratic Party Horoscopes

by Jude Cowell, partisan for democracy

Way back in 2014 on SO'W, we looked at the Democratic Party Horoscope of February 17, 1801. Carelessly, I labeled the 1801 horoscope as the Party's "natal" chart, but of course that description is for human beings, not for entities or organizations. Mah bad!

Then perhaps you may be interested in the Democrats' Horoscope used by expert astrologer Jessica Adams set for January 8, 1828 at Jefferson Hall, Portsmouth, New Hamsphire. Jessica finds that the chart coordinates with multiple significant events, plus, this is also the founding data of the Democratic Party as listed on its Wikipedia page. So this is the data used to set up the Democratic Party's Founding Horoscope, below shown in a dual image along with the Party's May 13, 1792 Horoscope (lower left) which, as you may notice, closely resembles the NYSE "Buttonwood" Horoscope:

One feature that stands out in both horoscopes is the Moon-Pluto duo of energies: conjunct in 1792 and opposed in 1828. In conjunction, the pair denotes potentials for intense emotions, emotional outbursts or upheavals - even to the point of panic or hysteria. In opposition, potentials include seeking control of others, often in a subtle or an underhanded manner which can eventually devastate relationships (A. Oken).

To Moon-Pluto Reinhold Ebertin adds: "jealousy, offended vanity or conceit" (in politics?!), and/or people who are "torn between a fanatical striving for the attainment of desired objectives and a soft-hearted sentimentality." A lack of regard for others may be evident in the behavior of some individuals with, or during, the opposition, plus, there's a possibility of illegitimate or hidden children.

Meanwhile, events of 1792 and 1828 naturally inform us concerning the issues of those days, and the duo's astrological correspondences listed above are informative as well in relation to the Democratic Party, the oldest political party in America.

And so, dear reader, I don't know about you, but I cannot and will not vote for any member of a Ku Klux Kaucus with Tr*mp as Grand Dragon pontificating over a police state of fascist persecution and feudalism.

Elites Now Vetting Gretchen Whitmer

1933 Coup Attempt Now a 2024 Corporate Coup Attempt

by Jude Cowell, Still Ridin' With Biden

According to political commentator David Feldman (see below), this weekend at Sun Valley, Idaho wealthy elites such as Rob Reiner, Barry Diller, and Abigail Disney have gathered together for vetting at least one potential replacement on the Democratic ticket for November 2024, and her name is Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer. If their pie-in-the-sky work-around Joe brings their desired results, they may be electing a convicted felon.

Tellingly, the governor wasn't in Michigan as President Biden campaigned last evening, instead she was joining wealthy elites and corporate types at Sun Valley, those who are supposedly fearful for the US Constitution if the global fascist movement manages to shoe horn their figurehead agent orange back into the Oval Office with the chaos-creator's tiny finger on The Button.

And naturally, as David points out in the following podcast episode, Biden's poll numbers are higher since the subpar debate - and for wealthy elites, backstabbing Joe Biden after all he's accomplished for this country is not about the money at all!

Now here is the A-rated natal horoscope of Gretchen Whitmer in case it should become of interest going forward, or if you wish, follow this link to her A-rated horoscope:

As if President Biden doesn't have enough to deal with already!

So as it turns out, Baby Gretchen was born into the 9 New South Saros Series which perfected on August 20, 1971 @27Leo15:18 conjunct Juno, the nation-state asteroid, and just shy of the 1971 position of royal Regulus, the kingmaker star.

Plus, here's a view of the upcoming repetition of a 9 New South Solar Eclipse occurring on September 21, 2025 which I posted on my WordPress blog. Basically, it's an Autumn Equinox Eclipse, and will conjunct Governor Whitmer's natal 6th house Pluto thereby activating her Pluto's aspects with natal Moon, Mars, Jupiter, Neptune, and North Node. Eclipse-Pluto combined represents a power aspect and negatively can indicate a misuse of power, or even criminal offenses (R. Lineman)

Solar and Lunar Eclipses Pre-Election 2024

by Jude Cowell, partisan for democracy

You'll find quite a few astro-notes penned on the dual image, below, of the 8 South Solar Eclipse which will influence America's Election 2024 and Inauguration 2025. The themes of 8 South are listed on the chart (upper right). Then lower left is the Lunar Eclipse Horoscope of September 17, 2024 (the US Constitution's anniversary date) @25Pis40 with nebulous Neptune hanging nearby, always ready to confuse, hide, misplace, gaslight, project, and/or obfuscate issues:

Now as you know, every Solar Eclipse is a New Moon, a time of seeding plans for new beginnings - but with a disruptive factor of 'wild card of the Universe' energy added; then the culmination stage arrives with the next Full Moon. In the case of the 8 South Eclipse of October 2, 2024, the culminating-fulfillment-awareness Full Moon perfects @24Ari35 on October 17, 2024 across the Aries-Libra axis of Relationships, Alliances, War and Diplomacy.

And as you see, in Washington DC the Aries Full Moon is Angular at sunrise so its lunar effects may be nearly instant. Then prominently, Sun and Moon are part of a Cardinal Grand Cross pattern that includes the forceful Mars-Pluto opposition, a "win at any cost" configuration of heavy-handed energies with a potential for ill-tempers to be shown. Military or police action may also be involved with Mars-Pluto so seditious militiamen come to mind.

Plus, when a Cardinal Grand Cross forms, impatience is baked into situations and oppositional challenges, yet it's cooperation and consideration of others that are the key elements if progress is to be made - if progress is wanted.

Astro-Notes are penned on the horoscope for your consideration:

Another lunation worth noting is the Predictive New Moon Prior to Election 2024 which perfects on November 1, 2024 in Scorpio, a mere 4 days before Election Day.

Previously on SO'W: America's Mars-Pluto Cycle began in Capricorn.

Want America Stuck in The Confederacy of 1861?

by Jude Cowell, partisan for democracy

These days, Trumpists under the imprint of the GOP want to regress American society back to the era of The Confederacy, a period in the Southern US of slavish feudalism under a fascist-style regime of seditionists like the villainous Jefferson Davis.

This heinous threat is one of the reasons, in a previous post, we discussed The Confederacy and Its Dark Vein of Intolerance. And as a native Georgian with Confederate ancestry, I've composed and published fussy posts about such topics for years now. Do you think more Americans are aware of the existential threat, now that democracy struggles for its life (and ours), and Election 2024 soon will showcase a stand-off between President Biden and a convicted felon/fraudster determined to claw his way back into the Oval Office, by hook or crook?

Some Democrats Are Saying, Jettison Joe!

Personally, I agree with political commentator David Feldman who says that The Media Once Again Is Handing Us Trump in his latest podcast episode of July 6, 2024 (1H 16M).

And I'm certain you've noticed that since the recent Biden-Trump Debate, the mainstream media isn't covering the competing visions of each candidate's future plans, if elected. The implications of Trump's dark vision seem to elude the talking heads and their producers. But to me, the identity of the person with his "finger on The Button" is a major concern on steroids for the entire world - not that every US voter will consider this. But boy should they.

So who should lead the country as of 2025? A superficial, transactional, traitorous, dictator-wanna-be, horndog? Or a thoughtful statesman who has known the deepest of losses, who walks a little slower than he used to, speaks softly yet wisely, has accomplished major legislative feats during his presidential term that benefit the American people, and yet has always had to struggle against a stutter? Then there's "Scofflaw Donnie who came to town just to tear the US down"! And his voters, corrupt politicians and judges, and wealthy enablers want him to.

Back to Hoop Skirts and Petticoats? No Thanks, I'm Good!

So now I must wonder: do you know there's a Horoscope of The Confederacy, and that a series of the regime's Neptune Return/s began in 2023? As you know, Neptune Return/s have done no good for the Republican Party (their Neptune 1854 in mid-Pisces), so we'll see if plans for re-establishing The Confederacy (using the GOP's Project 2025 dystopian agenda) proceeds under Neptune's watery influence in Pisces - the planet of dissolution, disappointment, subversion, deceit, and cults, including death cults as were the barbaric Naz*s - which is what Tr*mp's threatened "American Carnage" would bring. His foreign bosses, enemies of America including Russia, would be so pleased with their boy were their longterm dream of a US collapse be fulfilled.

Meanwhile, as displayed, above, the 1861 Horoscope of The Confederacy is revealing and describes at least some of the conditions that the 'Maga' GOP along with theocratic handmaidens and their abusers want to re-implement in US society - if only you'll vote in November for their cruel madness.

Project 2025 and Kevin Roberts

A Quick Peek at the Planets of Kevin Roberts

by Jude Cowell, partisan for democracy

The Wikipedia bio page of dystopian provocateur of tyranny, Kevin Roberts, labels him mildly as a "political strategist." Yet the page contains reference links to a variety of articles about him saying he's a "DC outsider" and a "cowboy Catholic." Take your pick but don't leave out the fact that Roberts assumed leadership of the Heritage Foundation and Heritage Action on December 1, 2021, and soon after he took the reins of control, Project 2025 became a thing, a game plan, as it were, for a longed-for Trump v2 stint in the Oval Office come January 20, 2025. Or, if agent orange can't attend, an agenda for any other Aryan-styled seditionist, eager for power and pining for a pat on the head from Vlad.

Update July 26, 2024: It has been reported that Kevin Roberts is a member of Opus Dei which suggests a Vatican link with the global take-over scheme.#

Now if you've read any of my fussy posts before, you know that I consider the GOP's dystopian agenda they call "Project 2025" to be their hail Mary effort to sabotage the US government into a military police state, aka, Fascism with a generous helping of neo-gnatzie-ism.

Meanwhile, "Project 2025" has become the most searched for term on Google in recent days which is a good thing since Election 2024 approaches: let's sunlight the heck out of its madness. And despite Herr Trump hiding away for several days in an attempt to disassociate himself from the harshness of their purge agenda, no one is fooled by Donnie's absurd coyness. We know who and what the orange monster is - and he must be directly faced to be vanquished.

So just in case you ever need it, above a noon natal horoscope for Kevin Roberts surrounded by the July 2, 2024 Neptune Station Rx @29Pis55:54 - which conjuncts the fixed star of extreme misfortune, Scheat. Why? Because, as you see, Roberts has a trio of natal planets in the tribal sign of Cancer: Sun @2Can47, Saturn @7Can34, and Mercury Rx @12Can02, and all three will be eventually squared by Neptune in the coming few years. Beginning with his Sun (which squares his natal Pluto giving him a "might makes right" domineering attitude - including toward women). This is a transit of confusion and disorientation when his leadership position, integrity, principles, and honesty are in doubt. Then once transit Neptune enters Aries and proceeds to oppose natal Pluto (@4Libra), whatever political and financial power he has gained by then will erode.

Of course, this might be a comforting thought but unfortunately its influence won't come soon enough to gum up their vengeful Project 2025 agenda in case a Blue Wave of sane voters fails to Vote Blue on November 5, 2024 and be counted. Now you must have read or heard Roberts' threat against our families and America's future, but I'll quote him here (with one asterisk) for those who've managed to miss his intention so far:

"We are in the process of the second American Revolution, which will remain blo*dless if the left allows it to be."

And this psychopathic behavior of aggression, dear reader, was signaled to us last year by the 7 North "blo*d lust" Eclipse of April 20, 2023 @30Aries, the position of the American Revolution's Sun and the J6 position of warrior planet Mars on January 6, 2021. 7 North in April 2023 qualified, in fact, as Herr Adolf's "birthday eclipse."

And btw: 7 North also timed the first shot of America's Civil War of 1861.
