2 Horoscopes: Trump w RFK Jr

by Jude Cowell, partisan for democracy

Now that spoiler candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr (aka, "Bob" or "Bobbie") has joined Trump's 2024 Campaign, we should probably take a look at a bi-wheel of their natal charts to check for planetary contacts between them.

The obvious one is JFK Jr's Jupiter Rx @17Gem20 conjunct Trump's 10th house Uranus 17Gem53, his guiding planet of chaos, disruption, and radical action due to its oriental position (last to rise before his Gemini Sun).

Other planetary links between them are shown in the Cancer/Capricorn and Leo areas of the Zodiac including RFK Jr's Pluto Rx @24Leo24 conjunct DJT's rising Mars (see planetary pairs, below). Perhaps the bi-wheel of their natal charts may be worth keeping around as we careen toward the November 5th Election, or maybe not. Their union may, in part, depend on how jealous running mate JD Vance becomes. But don't even think about a menage a trois!

Potentials of their Planetary Pairs (R. Ebertin):

Jupiter-Uranus: fortune hunters; adventurers; organizers; zealots with one-sided views; religious or philosophial conflicts; a lucky chance.

Mars-Pluto: success attained through excessive effort; use of force; disabled people; strong ambition; great self-confidence.

Meanwhile, there are astrological reasons to suspect that their bro-mance may not endure for long - besides two large egos in conflict: big dog vs little dog - so you may wish to marvel at all the squares (obstacles) and oppositions (challenges) between Donnie and Bobbie:

Please Note: the 5:32 pm ET timing of RFK Jr's natal chart (linked, above) is from someone who knew the family and was told to me by an expert astrologer known as blackswann1111. Otherwise, use whatever timing you wish. jc

Year 2024 in a Cosmic Nutshell

by Jude Cowell, partisan for the common good

The easiest way to view an entire year - namely Year 2024 - is to post for you two dual images showing Year 2024 at a glance:

1. Spring Equinox 2024 (lower left) with 2. Summer Solstice 2024 (upper right) followed by 3. Autumn Equinox 2024 (lower left) and 4. Winter Solstice 2024 (upper right).

Now as you know, a Spring Equinbox Horoscope (aka, Aries Ingress) actually symbolizes an entire year and may be consulted as such via transits, directions, and progressions. So for Year 2024, here's a link to a previous post displaying the Spring Equinox 2024 Horoscope set for Washington DC with gracious plenty astro-notes included.

Year 2024 Begins and Proceeds

Our year began with me-first Mars at 27AQ46 conjunct our July 4, 1776 Moon (We the People) suggesting a restless American populace as targets. Furthermore, Mars opposes a certain candidate's natal Mars rising in Leo along with royal Regulus, the "success if revenge is avoided" star. A Mars-oppo-Mars transit shows the folks who are diametrically opposed to old Mars in Leo. In this case, I'd say those folks are a majority of the American people who want America to move on from old grudges and malicious plans for revenge. In fact, some may call it Tr*mp fatigue.

So as you know, 2024 is proving to be an intensely emotional Moon-Pluto kind of year and with Election 2024 on November 5th (an event which falls within the purview of Autumn Equinox 2024) the year (and campaign) additionally becomes a Mars-Pluto opposition affair of forceful competition for power - and ends with Winter Solstice 2024's Moon-Saturn opposition which emphasizes the proper carrying out of responsibilities and "the call to duty" (A. Oken).

These energies sound appropriate for a presidential campaign especially since the oppression of individual rights is also an issue as we enter 2025. Clearly, one 2024 candidate offers oppression, dystopia, and morbidity, while the other candidate offers freedom, progress, and opportunity! The choice seems a no-brainer to me because I'll choose life over death every time - and democracy over fascism.

Meanwhile, it's only the soon-forming Autumn Equinox 2024 Horoscope that isn't ruled by aggressive Mars via the three charts' Scorpio Ascendants but by Venus instead, ruler of Libra, sign of the Scales of Justice. And as you see, Venus is at 29 Libra, a critical 29th degree, rises in the chart's 1st house, and could very well symbolize VP Kamala Harris, former AG and prosecutor. However, a Venus-Pluto square indicates obstacles on the path of Autumn Equinox 2024 Venus, obstacles through her opponents' circulating rumors which will likely involve financial and/or sexual matters.

Now disagree if you wish, but my suspicion is that the Venus-Pluto square reveals the political assaults coming against candidate Harris in the 2024 Campaign which, as political commentator David Feldman and others point out, is about to turn really really ugly.

Pluto-to-South-Node 2027-2028: A New Age

by Jude Cowell, partisan for the common good

Symbol: The Cosmic or Orphic Egg

Earlier in 2024, we discussed when Pluto conjuncts US 1776 South Node @6AQ35. Even with planet Pluto's plodding orbit of about 248 years, this conjunction has previously occurred since July 4, 1776: 5 times in 1781 and 1782. In our day, we can expect another 5 conjunctions exact on March 18, 2027, June 30, 2027, January 21, 2028, September 19, 2028, and November 16, 2028.

Follow the above link to view a bi-wheel of the March 18, 2027 Pluto-SN conjunction (inner) surrounded by the final November 16, 2028 conjunction. Transit Pluto goes out-of-bounds of the Earthly plane at some point which to me suggests even more distant, detached conditions of those who meddle in and manipulate America's business. And considering sneaky Pluto's habit of hoarding extreme wealth in hidden places, financial dealings are certain to be part of the bigger picture. That's reptilian Pluto the Dragon - and the reptile wrapped around the Cosmic Egg appears to signify the undulating Nodal Axis. We are, in effect, surrounded by reptile-brained individuals.

When Pluto and South Node Connect

A Pluto-South-Node pairing marks a period of resentment and misunderstanding, a time when the wills of powerful Plutonian figures - manipulating from a safe, distant ivory tower location - are out-of-tune with the will of the population. This has been the case already, of course, but the timing of their coming together brings in America's original South Node dependencies and talents in the realms of Aquarian humanitarian/enlightenment principles and impulses - now on someone's drawing board for a major overhaul.

Because as you know in 2024, fascist saboteurs and white power radicals are attempting to force enlightened views and aspirations out of the public discourse, and ban them from our consciousness (book banning and burning). After all, stealthy Pluto is about regeneration, transformation, destruction, and purification. And that is what book burners, "religious" types, and political opportunists consider themselves doing: purifying American society, shown in part by their ridiculous "anti-woke" campaign.

Then via the draconian Project 2025 agenda, they intend to purify the US government of anyone who disagrees with, or stands in the way of, their tyrannical plans for complete control. Could this be more unAmerican? No. It could not. Our traditional principles are under siege by global forces and thugs, and you know who the moblike figurehead leading the gang of saboteurs is. He even has a shady sidekick now.

Pluto in Aquarius: the US Constitution and Bill of Rights

By the time of the US Constitution (September 17, 1787; Campion #377), Pluto had crept on to 16AQ02, and for the Bill of Rights (created/approved September 25, 1789; ratified December 15 1791, in order to amend the Constitution), transit Pluto Rx was out-of-bounds @14AQ05, then @16AQ11 - and opposite Uranus Rx in Leo which suggests the elevated consciousness and inventiveness of those able to respond to such high-minded energies.

From earlier this year, see Did SCOTUS Rewrite the Constitution? a brief Thom Hartmann clip.

Now in closing, perhaps the rounded-up degree (7AQ) of the modern-day conjunctions' Sabian Symbol informs us: "EMERGENCE OF GLOBAL MAN for the New Age" (D. Rudhyar); the ancient symbolism is the Cosmic Egg (aka, the Orphic Egg shown above) and speaks of mutants and a fresh projection of the creative Spirit that emanates from the cosmic or planetary Whole, and not from any local culture and racial tradition (An Astrological Mandala, D.R. #ad). So, a Universal symbol then which sounds much more like the Harris-Walz ticket than the anti-women bullies of the GOP!

So for realistic examples of the egg symbol in Washington DC, we think of the Oval Office and Ellipse Park, for which Pierre L'Enfant drew up the plans for the oval-shaped park - in 1791. Then as you know, the Ellipse was the location of Trump's so-called "Stop the Steal" rally on January 6, 2021 ('J6'), defiling it with his seditious rotten-egg energies - just like Putin would do!

Therefore, in the spirit of history rhymes, and knowing that the American Revolution lasted from 1775 to 1783, you may wish to check out US Events of 1781 and/or US Events of 1782. Because learning from the past is always necessary for best results.

Harris-Walz CNN interview: A Horoscope

by Jude Cowell, partisan for the common good

At 9:00 pm ET on Thursday August 29, 2024, CNN is set to air their first joint TV interview since DNC 2024 with candidates VP Kamala Harris and her running mate, Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz. If this event airs as announced, below you see a Horoscope of the interview set for Atlanta, Georgia. The pair of Democratic candidates are currently on a two-day bus tour through Georgia culminating in the beautiful city of Savannah.

An abundance of astro-notes are penned on the chart for curious readers like you, followed by the same horoscope, unmarked; of note is chart/interview ruler Jupiter which makes no applying aspects and this emphasizes Jupiter @18Gem47 in the 3rd house of Communications. Plus, VP Harris' natal ASC-North Node ('NN') conjunction is snugged between interview Jupiter and Mars and this creates a midpoint picture highlighted in yellow with potentials listed, bottom right corner:

Can Election 2024 Venus symbolize Kamala Harris?

by Jude Cowell, partisan for the common good

With Election 2024's Venus in Sagittarius, it appears that a rival will be victorious over the Democratic incumbent if we follow the Venus Cycle implications from years past. There have been exceptions, however, but we may not have to depend on such randomness in order to suspect that Lady Venus on November 5, 2024, traveling in the 22-24-degree range of Sagittarius, could be pointing toward VP Kamala Harris as the winning candidate who challenges the "incumbent."

So here's a dual chart image displaying Election Day 2024 planets at 8:00 am ET and 8:00 pm ET, set for the White House and showing Venus @22Sag33 and 23Sag09; each degree's Sabian Symbol is penned on, as are the two symbols for voting planet Mercury:

And yes, everyone knows that a lot can happen between now and November 5th, events which could affect election outcomes by shifting voters' minds, and some folks are suggesting a "September Surpise" may be perpetrated in an attempt to sway the minds of voters, in September rather than what has become the usual "October Surprise" of past elections.

Therefore, this consideration of the planet of attraction's historical role in the US Election Cycle (4 years/8 years like Venus) may be merely a whimsical exercise for entertainent purposes only.

What I'm trying to say is that the incumbent that Sagittarian Venus must beat on November 5, 2024 could be Donald Trump instead of President Biden since Donald pretends to have beem president all along, delusion-promoting radical as he is. He himself has added this fantasy to his status as the current 2024 president. That Venus is a lady, as is VP Harris, is an obvious link between them and only adds its oomph to some very basic symbolism on Election Day.

Plus, we all know of Trump's mocking habit of casting other people in the role as "other" if they're not in his pocket or if they oppose or criticize him - and Kamala Harris' parents were both immigrants to the US, so the 8:00 am EST symbol of Venus is "Immigrants Entering a New country" (penned on the chart - and conjunct the feminine Moon!). Then by 8:00 pm Venus has moved on to: "23 Sagittarius" = "A BLUE Bird Standing at the Door of the House" (my CAPS) so we'll know at some point whether candidate VP Harris is symbolized by Election Day 2024 Venus or not, and whether Democrats regain the House of Representatives.

Now here's an excerpt from a previous post with slight edits for clarity:

As the Evening Star, Election Day 2024 Venus' position in the mid-to-late degrees of Jupiter-ruled Sagittarius, sign of the stranger, foreigner, outsider, or "the other" - suggests someone different than the usual who acts as the challenger and rival to "the throne" of the incumbent, a status that Trump and his supporters keep insisting that he embodies because he didn't lose the 2020 Election to Joe Biden.

Except that he did.

Battling Symbols of the Past

Symbolism in 1935: Germany and America

by Jude Cowell, partisan for democracy

Image: A color depiction of America's Great Seal circa 1935

Way back in the year 1935, two countries adopted significant visual symbols or logos which were polar opposites of one another in meaning.

In Germany, the ancient Swastika symbol was adopted for the Nazi Party flag, while in America, President Franklin Roosevelt approved America's Great Seal for placement on the US Dollar Bill. Of course these days, We the People seldom give the symbolism of the 13-step pyramid of power and Eye of Horus a moment of thought, and as our card-carrying society proceeds, we may rarely see or handle a paper dollar bill.

Now, due to my usual interest in Eclipse energies and themes that run in the background of society during any given time period we wish to consider, here's a List of Eclipses of 1935 with their Themes penned on. We should note that Eclipses in these Saros Series repeat in 2025 into 2026:

(The first Series, 9 Old North, played out and I have no information on its theme. Other than in Saturn-ruled Capricorn, eclipses always involve authority figures, authenticity, responsibility, accountability, and leadership.)

Project 2025 Ideas Have Failed Before!

by Jude Cowell, partisan for the common good

An op-ed in the L.A. Times by Joel Edward Goza concerns The ideas in Project 2025? Reagan tried them, and the nation suffered. Now SO'W is no stranger to complaining about the Reagan presidency and the "Decade of Greed" that he and his cronies promoted and used to their advantage.

An example is our discussion of the Reaganomics Eclipse of 1981: A Turning Point for America (chart shown, below). For as Mr. Goza mentions, Ronald Reagan signed his first budget on August 13, 1981, just after the 1 North Reaganomics Eclipse manifested on July 30, 1981 @7Leo51 with themes that include: "information is distorted and possibly false" (B. Brady).

And as The Cosmos would have it, 1 North also happens to be the Saros Series of the Total "Mother of All Eclipses" of August 11, 1999 @18Leo21, the one that Nostradamus pointed toward from centuries ago with its difficult Fixed Grand Cross at the mid-degrees of the Fixed signs (Taurus, Leo, Scorpio, Aquarius). These degrees are described in The Book of Revelation by the oxen-lion-eagle-angel points, for the reader who may be interested in Biblical prophecy.

So below is an image of the 1 North Reaganomics Eclipse of July 30, 1981 @7Leo51 set for the White House, Washington DC. Yes, the chart is overloaded with my study notes, but I'm showing it to you anyway. As you see, Mr. Reagans's first natal planet to rise is his Saturn @00Tau49, and his natal Midheaven of Goals and Public Status is crowned by the Eclipse's Pluto @21Libra, planet of power, Plutocracy, and extreme wealth. Meanwhile, 3rd house Mars @8Can34 leads a Locomotive shape of ruthless determination to further his interests, having recently visited US 1776 Jupiter at the "Game Birds Feathering Their Nests" degree:

Then considering the relationships, alleged or genuine, between Mr. Reagan and members of the evangelical community of his day, we might expect that they must have recognized the Eclipse-Scriptural connection (being Bible readers and all - and the Reagans used Astrology) and would naturally want to treat its energies carefully for best results in aid of the common good. But did they? Well, my guess is no, unless financial chicanery is a plus in society. Instead, suffering and tragedy followed for the American people, and the US is only now turning from Neoliberalism's bogus "trickle-down theory" of Reaganomics, thanks to President Biden. It's been 40 years of mistakes, and about time!

Now in closing, there's an example of a well known tragic event that was manipulated to occur under the influence of a 1 North Eclipse: the Assassination of President John F. Kennedy. The 1 North Eclipse of 1963 manifested in late Cancer opposite US 1776 Pluto (Rx @27Cap33) which implicates the murder of our popular president via a reversion in US society to Plutonian primal violence and animalism - which is precisely what the Project 2025 purge agenda intends to perpetrate if it can successfully manipulate Election 2024.

However, 40 years have passed since the Decade of Greed and We the People are "on to them." And so I ask you, dear reader, have the correct lessons been learned?
