Autumn Equinox 2024: a Venus-Pluto Affair

The Autumn Equinox 2024 Horoscope Contains Election 2024

by Jude Cowell, partisan for the common good

As you may remember, Aries Ingress 2024, aka, Spring Equinox 2024 began this year with intense Moon-Pluto influences of emotionalism and anger which are affecting the entire year, a pivotal one due to Election 2024. Then a seasonal shift of energies arrives on Sunday September 22, 2024 with Autumn Equinox 2024, another cosmic milestone for the year, aka, Libra Ingress 2024.

This Fall season will carry an intense Venus-Pluto signature with chart-ruler (set for DC) Venus rising at a critical 29th degree of its own sign and squaring power-player Pluto, also at a critical degree of Capricorn in the foundational 4th house. And since Aries Ingresses are operative for an entire year, 2024 has Moon-Pluto vibrations overlaid by Venus-Pluto vibes that hint at concerns over hidden wealth and elements of organized crime.

Now obviously, transformative, manipulative, control freak Pluto is the common denominator here but with a difference: in futuristic Aquarius in the Spring, then back in Saturn-ruled Capricorn for a while - the first position indicating a strong communal sense, while the second is "The Dictator" placement (R. Ebertin) of the old man. However, Venus in Libra values relationships and marriage and can take the limelight gracefully to much public acclaim. Does this sound like anyone you know?

Venus: Happy in Libra

Well, Venus in Libra, in the sign of The Scales of Justice, appears to be a cosmic significator for VP Kamala Harris in this Autumnal chart but will enter Scorpio at 10:38 pm ET. Yet we know that Venus and Pluto contacts tend to constellate around issues of materialism, bankruptcy, sexual affairs, strains in the love life, and/or obsessive romantic involvements, many of which may have an element of fate or karma attached; plus, squares always suggest some measure of blockage, obstacle, or delay to the proceedings yet this may only symbolize the intensity of political competitions in 2024 - or, the purposeful last-minute changes to election rules in states like Georgia. And if election results can be delayed long enough, Republicans will trigger a constitutional crisis as part of their ongoing effort to shoehorn an unfit candidate into the White House.

So! Below you see the pivotally important Autumn Equinox 2024 Horoscope set for Washington DC. You'll notice that chart-ruler Venus also applies to a complex sesqui-square with legal eagle planet Saturn Rx in the 5th house of Risk-Taking, Children, and Romance, and as a minor aspect (135 degrees), may have health connotations along with entangled legal situations. Mention should be made that Saturn Rx @14Pis56 conjuncts the 1854 position of the Republican Party's Neptune, the "grim face of reality" transit.

Yet still one's mind wanders to issues of divorce and other break-ups and separations especially with the 8 South Eclipse @10Libra perfecting on October 2nd with themes of loss, partings, and separation (B. Brady). These separative themes are operative at least until the first Solar Eclipse of 2025: the 9 New North of March 29, 2025 @9Aries. (More on this in a future post.)

Meanwhile, let's add to the Autumnal energies the excitable Moon-Uranus conjunction in the 8th house of sex, the occult, debt and credit, insurance, Shared Resources, and Corporatism - all across the possessive Taurus-$corpio axis:

Now as you see, there are other important placements such as banker-donor-politician-corporatist-broadcaster-guru-minister planet Jupiter in mutable, chatty Gemini as apex planet of a midpoint picture with interesting potentials: Moon-Mars = Jupiter: principles; justified actions; love of truth; honesty; openness; a successful woman (N. Tyl; R. Ebertin). And this with transit Jupiter about to conjunct the natal Ascendant of VP Kamala Harris, a transit of harmony and enthusiasm!

Sun/South Node: Selfish Past Actions Bring Karmic Limitations

Meanwhile, the Autumnal Sun @00Libra00:00, a Cardinal World Point of Manifestation, is in the Behind-the-Scenes 12th house of Karma and Large Institutions, opposed by contagious Neptune Rx and North Node in the 6th house of Health, Employment - and Pets. And considering that we're using the lens of Astrology to peek "under the hood" of Politics, this 6/12 (Victim-Savior) axis suggests a cosmic spotlight searching out the back room actions and antics of our political class - in Congress and within the US Justice System - folks that We the People have a right to expect a work ethic dedicated to serving us by adhering to the principles found in America's freedom documents - the Enlightenment ideals that rank far far above the depravity and degradation of death cult Maga-ite saboteurs and gullible seditionists.

Other Considerations include: Rising @21Libra is the 7 South Eclipse of October 14, 2023 which shows that crisis-laden 7 South themes remain issues in US society which have not passed for they have yet to be dealt with sufficiently. And for an overview of all four seasonal energy shifts see Year 2024 in a Cosmic Nutshell. If you made it this far, Thanks a bunch for reading! jc

How to Fix America Before We Really Blow It w/ Leigh McGowan - clip

Yesterday during his Live broadcast, Thom Hartmann interviewed PoliticsGirl, aka, Leigh McGowan. Here's a clip:

A Little Astrology

by Jude Cowell, partisan for the common good (and common sense!)

PoliticsGirl (Leigh McGowan) was born August 16, 1976 and raised in Toronto, Canada. Baby Leigh entered the Earthly flux under the influence of the 14 South Eclipse which had manifested on April 29, 1976 @9Tau13 with Mercury-Pluto content. 14 South themes involve an obsessive idea finally accepted followed by Jupiterian success; a long-awaited breakthrough (B. Brady).

The last 14 South Solar Eclipse occurred on May 20, 2012 @00Gemini (a degree that transit Uranus will spark in late April 2026, a "ready to chart new territory" influence). The next 14 South arrives on June 1, 2030 @11Gemini.

Book Note: The full title of the new book by Leigh McGowan is, "A Return to Common Sense: How to Fix America Before We Really Blow It" #ad. Yeah. Let's do that. jc

Not Another Govt Shutdown!

by Jude Cowell, partisan for the common good

House Speaker Mike Johnson has set a vote on funding which would push back on yet another (Republican) Government Shutdown. Yet Mr. Johnson is admitting that the situation is iffy.

Remember 2020 when Mr. T instigated a Christmas Government Shutdown? A December Full Moon in Cancer had spotlighted his natal 11th house Mercury @8Can51 And of course, we all know way too well about the old fella's Mercury-Neptune square of deception, fantasy, lack of discrimination - and his sneaky mind (A. Oken). His Gish gallop of lies and propaganda comes with the square for free - such a deal!

Meanwhile, Election 2024 is upon us, and some political wags are saying that Republicans will vote the keep the government open because they don't want to be tarred and feathered by a Tr*mp shutdown just prior to November 5th. Plus, the Senate won't play along in any case, and this limitation may be symbolized by lawmaker Saturn Rx @14Pis40 conjunct the 1854 Neptune of the Republican Party - the grim face of reality transit.

And so another government shutdown may or may not occur this year, but I thought as a dear reader you might wish to view a Horoscope just in case: October 1, 2024 12:01 am edt Washington DC; notable are the several fixed stars conjunct planets:

And here's a dual image of two prior lunations of this October 1st non-event/event: the third "Great American Eclipse" of April 8, 2024 conjunct Chiron in the 8 North Series of dreams and visions (upper right; B. Brady), and the Pisces Lunar Eclipse of September 17, 2024 @25Pis40, also designated a Super Moon (via R. Nolle):

Yet actually, an October 1, 2024 shutdown would practically introduce the next Solar Eclipse of October 2, 2024 in the loss/separation 8 South Saros Series which brings along Election 2024 and Inauguration 2025. The hope I cling to is that the 8 South Eclipse degree of 10Libra falls snugly within Mr. T's natal Neptune-Chiron-Jupiter trio of grand schemes, grifts, and speculation in his 2nd house of Money, Values, Possessions, and Earning Ability.

However, we know that the loss and separation of a government shut down would, as usual, land upon - not just scheming politicians - but on the furloughed and laid-off workers affected, and all of us who depend upon the US government to fulfill its many tasks in a timely manner, automated and otherwise.

Sept 2024: Menace at Mar-a-Lago

by Jude Cowell, partisan for democracy

It's difficult to miss the big news out of the Mars-a-Lago Golf Club yesterday but if you need it, here's a link to details concerning the appparent assassination attempt on the dictator-wanna-be. Considering that such dangerous events occur somewhat frequently in other countries, perhaps in the US the dictator-wanna-be job description should include the possible peril potential which is made even more likely if a wanna-be manages to officially become a dictator - especially if his activities tend toward the controversial, scandalous, and criminal side.

Besides, it's a natural law that everyone must reap what they sow!

Meanwhile, my suspicion is that Pluto of primal viol*nce fame, and now back in Saturn-ruled Capricorn (The Dictator placement) at a critical-crisis 29th degree, is somehow involved even if only in his invisible, behind-the-scenes manipulator role. Of course, Pluto can also wear an assassin's cap, or even a pope's chapeau, but those topics are waaay beyond the scope of such a meager post as this.

Horoscope: Sunday September 15, 2024 1:30 pm ET Mar-a-Lago Golf Course

Wanna-be Golfing Near the 5th Hole

Hour of an out-of-bounds Mars in Moon-ruled Cancer, always a touchy sign for belligerent Mars. Chart-ruler Jupiter @20Gem25 is nearly setting and applying only by sextile to wounded Chiron Rx in Mars-ruled Aries, a maverick placement for the centaur.

It's being reported that alleged gunman Ryan Wesley Routh, possibly troubled over wanna-be's position on Ukraine, has a criminal record and a reputation for doing "stupid" stuff. He's being painted as mentally off-kilter. Then significantly, excessive Jupiter conjoins dictator-wanne-be's natal 10th house planetary trio and is partile conjunct his fateful North Node of contacts and encounters.

Potential expressions of planets aspecting dictator-wanna-be's natal planets (June 14, 1946 10:54 am edt Queens, NY) include:

Mars SQ Neptune (hidden competition; ideological conflicts; urge to escape); Uranus SQ Mars (disputes; risks; thwarted goals; lashing out; own worst enemy); Jupiter oppo Moon (emotional insecurities activated); Sun SQ Sun (coping with crisis and change; ego blockages); South Node conjunct Neptune (contact with those who see illusions).

Well, there's my quick consideration of yesterday's apparent attempt on the life of dictator-wanna-be, allegedly the second in about two months. Hopefully, it won't be necessary to write about this again but I suppose I will if need be. One might wonder if years of wanna-be's rhetoric of "American carnage" in America and his constant bad mouthing our country has brought him the precise conditions he craves - but with the gun pointed at him. And this spotlights the above picture of being his own worst enemy.

Laura Loomer: Eclipse Baby

by Jude Cowell, partisan for the common good

Perhaps you've seen this: Laura Loomer Promotes 9/11 Conspiracy After Joining Trump at Event Commemorating Attacks (HuffPost).

Meanwhile, on the Wikipedia page of "Republican" conspiracy theorist and Trump advisor Laura Loomer we find her birthdate listed as May 21, 1993 in Tucson, Arizona.

It has been reported that Ms. Loomer flew with Trump to the September 10th Harris-Trump Debate in Philadelphia during which Trump aired the dog-and-cat-eaters-of-Springfield, Ohio, a racist-based conspiracy theory that I'm told got its start via Trump's VP sidekick, JD Vance whose natal Sun @10Leo conjuncts Trump's 12th house Pluto = Mars-Saturn midpoint of fury, destruction, death, and intervention by a higher power. Mr. Vance's Sun at apex of Mars-Saturn suggests a weakened condition, and as we know, Trump has said he doesn't "talk" to Vance. Hmmm!

Born Near an Eclipse: An Eventful Life

Meanwhile, Laura Loomer is an eclipse baby because on May 21, 1993, a Solar Eclipse in the 13 South Saros Series occurred so I'm displaying here her speculative natal horoscope (birth time unknown) in the form of the 1993 13 South Eclipse set for her birth location of Tucson, AZ with 13S themes listed, below; also listed on the chart, upper right corner, is Loomer's Mars-Saturn midpoint opposed by her Pluto in Scorpio (fanaticism), a cosmic echo of these energies that lurk in Trump's 12th house, as noted:

13 South Eclipse Themes (paraphrasing Brady's Predictive Astrology #ad):

Sinister energy underneath an urge for expansion which contains frustration, inhibition, and loss or separation; (note: this resonates with the 8 South Eclipse of October 2, 2024 which "brings us" Election 2024 and Inauguration 2025 with its themes of loss, partings, and separation); striving for group endeavors, positively or negatively; mass evacuations (and/or deportations?); constitutional crisis.

Zodiacally, the initial 13 South provides a lens through which to view all subsequent 13 South eclipses and it manifested on May 24, 0803 @5Gem56. So with Loomer's Prenatal Eclipse ('PE') in very early Gemini, a Mercurial lens is doubly suggested along with the versatility, superficiality, and duplicity that chatty Gemini is often known for. Plus, quirky or erratic thinking and communications are involved which I have to assume leads Ms. Loomer to promote conspiracy theories that beggar belief.

As for events of 1993, her birth year, one of the stand-outs has to be the tragic Siege of Waco which occurred in early 1993 but under the auspices of the 13 North Eclipse of December 24, 1992 @2Capricorn (large, ambitious group projects).

In closing, let's add that 13 South eclipses have occurred in 1939 (Germany signs a treaty with Mussolini and invades Poland), 2011 (among other events, the brutal shooting of Rep. Gabby Giffords - in Tucson, AZ). The next 13 South will occur in 2029.

Election 2016 and Election 2024 Midpoint Picture Potentials

by Jude Cowell, partisan for the common good

Well, today I've printed out a curious little graphic showing the Election 2016 and Election 2024 midpoint pictures with potentials as they stood and will stand at 8:00 pm est Washington DC on November 8, 2016 and November 5, 2024. This post is inspired by the fact that a few political wags have suggested that Election 2024 resembles Election 2016 in certain respects based on their political views and information.

However, yours truly must be primarily dependent upon planetary horoscopes and historical trends which resonate with Eclipse Cycles, other cosmic informants such as the Venus Cycle, plus, a smattering of listening to and reading the news, unsettling as it often is.

Other sources include certain podcasts and one of my favorites is by a plain-speaking New Yorker, David Feldman, whose current episode is a don't-miss in my political playbook: Trump Now Makes the Race about Race (You may need to 'rewind'.) Well, of course he does! And this the day prior to the September 10th Harris-Trump Debate (horoscope shown). You know, for a primitive Uranian, Mr. T really is quite predictable.

You may also wish to see Can Election 2024 Venus Symbolize Kamala Harris?

Admittedly, there is one cosmic factoid in particular that I do not care for at all: that the Predictive New Moon Prior to Election 2024 @9Scorpio is basically a Moon Return to Inauguration 2017's Moon position. Of course, at best this may only symbolize Trump voters from 2016 coming back into the cultish fold - likely because they're afaid not to.

So here's a visual aid with a few notes penned on. Other details are typed, below:

Election 2016 Midpoint Pix 8:00 pm est:

Sun-NN = Jupiter: seeking public recognition; success with the public.

Sun-Pluto = Saturn: ruthlessly overcoming obstacles.

Jupiter-Neptune = Venus: love dreams.

Mercury-Mars = Venus: quarrels over women.

Sun-MC = Pluto: desire to attain leadership by the use of force; a violent attainment of aims; extraordinary plans; a tragic destiny.

Saturn-MC = Mars: giving in; feeling defenseless; lack of initiative; accepting one's destiny; enforced separation; mourning and bereavement.

Moon-Venus = Mars: actions guided by feelings; living by instinct; a devoted wife.

Moon-MC = Neptune: false emotional pictures; worry; losing hope easily; troubles through females.

Election 2024 Midpoint Pix 8:00 pm est:

Sun-Venus = Mercury: expressions of love.

Moon-Jupiter = Neptune: bad social conditions; loss or disadvantage through speculation or wastefuness.

Uranus-Pluto = Neptune: sympathy; knowledge of human nature; insecurity; uncertainty; unfulfilled wishes; neuroses; fatigue; delving into supernatural realms.

Pluto in Capricorn: Dictators and Post Liberals

by Jude Cowell, partisan for the common good

Much is explained concerning current affairs and authoritarian saboteurs in an informative article in The Dispatch: Post Liberalism. And as astrologers know, and fabled astrologer Reinhold Ebertin confirms, Pluto in Saturn-ruled Capricorn is The Dictator placement so it's no comfort that transit Pluto Rx left Aquarius and stepped a claw back into Capricorn on Sunday September 1, 2024, with Capricorn being the sign of government, law, business, investment, leadership - and (a potential for) world government.

Significantly, September 1, 2024 also timed a New Moon @11Vir04 at 9:58 pm ET, plus, it was Labor Day 2024 in the US which signaled the official beginning of Campaign 2024.

So for curiosity's sake, below you see a DC Horoscope of the very first moment (according to my SolarFireGold v9.27 software) that Pluto backed into Capricorn @29:59:59 at 7:57:26 pm edt on September 1st. For obvious reasons, the horoscope is set for Washington DC and shows subversive Neptune rising in 1st house at a critical 29th degree of shady Pisces, sign of the ocean, other bodies of water, marine creatures - and the Blue Tsunami of voters needed for best results on November 5th:

Meanwhile, transit Neptune remains conjoined with fixed star Scheat which suggests such events as weather disasters, drownings, or erosion. We've seen such events featured in the news with Scheat known as a star of misfortune when configured with malefic planets.

Then Jupiter, planet of codified religion, rules the chart's Ascendant (what?) and Midheaven (why?) as authoritative Saturn in Pisces rises - not the best placement for old man Saturn, planet of legalities, limits, blockages, restriction, responsibility, and authenticity. A potential for conflicts with opponents also applies to this placement, a clear reference to Campaign 2024 and the upcoming Harris-Trump Debate scheduled for September 10th, assuming that the old man shows up.

Must The Roman Empire Come Again?

Actually, the Roman Empire never ended, but morphed into the Catholic Church and remains submerged within the darkened chambers of Vatican City (horoscope linked, below). Despising America's Enlightenment principles, it's the religious rule of government model the saboteurs and seditionists are attempting to establish in the US. We experienced this negative energy on one level via their "anti-woke" campaign.

Then as Campaign 2024 trundles along and with US Election 2024 approaching, there's a lifelong predatory criminal running to stay out of prison who aspires to be dictator of America - in essence, a "divine-right" monarch, untouchable by law, and intending to restore a new, or perhaps an old, monarchy as in Europe (for background see The Dispatch linked, above) - and in total defiance of the Magna Carta, the scaffold of civilization.

Yet co-dictatorship with The Vatican must be part of their longed-for theocratic agenda of authoritarianism with enforced worhip on Sunday a major objective of their dream of "world government." Perhaps you've heard that when enforced observance on Sunday is implemented, it's the "mark of the beast" appearing to oppress and control. For it's all about timing, as you know.

Now to close this fussy post, here's Roman Empire: Birthday of a New Order, plus, you may wish to view the 1929 Horoscope of The Vatican City State. Or not. Because as always, it's completely up to you! jc
