Kamala Harris' Solar Return 2024

by Jude Cowell, partisan for the comon good

Would you care to see the 2024 Solar Return Horoscope of VP Kamala Harris? It "contains" Election Day 2024, the Electoral College Vote Count in December, Vote Certification on January 6, 2025 (hopefully), Inauguration 2025 in January, and all other events occurring until her next birthday in October 2025:

As you can see, an abundance of my study notes are squooshed on the chart including pertinent Solar Return details concerning SR Sun (in Return 9th house) and SR Moon (in return 5th house, and Gemini). Foreign Policy Matters and Legalities (9th house), plus, domestic, familial concerns, and daily routines are emphasized for her super-busy year. Her natal 7th house of Partnerships and Alliances is first to rise and her natal Saturn Rx @28AQ27 (conjunct her natal Midheaven of Goals and Public Status) is her first natal planet to rise with its practical ideals when legal eagle Saturn is in Aquarius - the sign ruled by Saturn, co-ruled by futuristic Uranus ("We're not going back!").

The VP's Sun-Moon Personality Blend for the Year

Now VP Harris' Solar Return 2024 Horoscope reveals a double-Air Sun-Moon blend of Sun Libra-Moon Gemmini. This combination of energies provides a lively intelligence, diplomatic skill, communication talent, and the ability to argue both sides of a case. Relationships with others are all-important, and her charm and genuine friendliness puts other people at ease.

Additionally, this particular personality blend is shared natally by quite a list of luminaries including: journalist Barbara Walters, poet/dramatist T.S. Eliot, singer Bryan Ferry, actress Madeline Kahn, and novelist Faith Baldwin whose most famous quote is probably,

"Time is a dress maker specializing in alterations."

As for the 2024 candidate's Solar Return Chart shown above, a SR Moon in Gemini provides her the opportunity for a job change, I only hope it's the change from VP to POTUS that most Americans have the commmon sense and survival instinct to vote for.

119th Congress: A new House Speaker?

by Jude Cowell, partisan for democracy

This morning as I listened to an episode of The Mop Up, David Feldman's podcast, inpiration suggested a comparison of the 119th Congress horoscope with the 'noon' natal chart of Speaker-in-waiting Hakeem Jeffries, now Minority House leader, who will take the gavel if Democrats regain the House of Representatives, and a second bi-wheel with Mike Johnson's 'noon' natal chart.

Of course, this indicates that having their natal charts set for 'noon' means that the Angles of their charts must be ignored in our comparisons, and their Moon positions are approximate, yet if the 119th Congress opens as expected at noon on January 3rd of the New Year, this reliably anchors the bi-wheels for us as shown, below.

But first, here's New York's David Feldman, who begins today's episode with Lousiana's Clay Higgins, mean tweeter and pal of Speaker Mike Johnson, also from Louisiana. David then goes on to discuss in his plain-spoken way several other political topics of interest such as "The Steal" and what will occur if Republicans gain control of the US Senate (more stalemates for us), and Election 2024 as the "horse race" promoted by corporate media to boost their bottom lines while aiding a certain conv*cted fel*n:

Bi-wheel: 119th Congress (inner) and Democratic challenger Hakeem Jeffries:

Bi-wheel: 119th Congress (inner) and Maga Trumper Mike Johnson:

A quick glance at Hakeem Jeffries' planetary contacts with the 119th Congress Horoscope reveals multiple links along with two significant conjunctions: the Moon-Venus Conjunction @00Pisces conjunct his North Node of future direction and public contact with its cooperative and joining qualities, and Uranus Rx @23Tau34 conjunct Mr. Jeffries' natal Saturn, denoting disruption via new conditions in the area of Saturnian responsibility and leadership. However, a mixture of positive and negative contacts suggests many challenges for the new Speaker of the House, some typical, others made more difficult or impossible if Republicans take the Senate.

For as we know, a Blue Tsunami of pro-America voters on November 5th is necessary to lessen the chances that the policies of a President Harris will be smothered in the cradle. Besides, the current 118th Congress has gained the least-effective award in US history thanks to the Maga House, and that negative reputation must not be bested by the 119th - or We the People will be sunk - and possibly deported.

As for the bi-wheel comparison with Mike Johnson's natal planets, the forceful, even violent Mars-Pluto opposition across the willful Leo-AQ axis lands near, but not conjunct Johnson's natal North Node (5AQ15) which to me hints at future trouble for the 2024 Election certification due on January 6th atop election-denier Johnson's to-do list of turmoil. This is supported by Maga Johnson's natal Mars-Uranus opposition (of reactionary politics and possible criminality) rising at noon as the 119th Congress opens.

Additionally, 119th Congress' South Node (00Lib29) of separation conjuncts Maga Mike's natal Pluto (his will out-of-sync with societal standards; time for a separation from a power position), along with other planetary contacts, both positive and negative, which you may wish to consider for a fuller picture.

Walz-Vance Debate October 1, 2024 NYC

by Jude Cowell, partisan for democracy

If needed, check out details concerning the October 1st Walz-Vance Debate on CBS which include the date, time, location, and names of the two moderators, Norah O'Donnell and Margaret Brennan. Watch on CBS TV, or watch the Live stream wherever CBS News 24/7 or Paramount+ are available.

Now here's the October Debate Horoscope set for 9:00 pm ET New York City:

Actually, we discussed this debate and the debate horoscope in mid-August, and here's a link to the post if you're curious. Contained therein are links to the natal horoscopes of Gov. Tim Walz and Mr. JD Vance, however, their birth times are unknown, last I heard, so noon is typically used. This debate will be a 1964 vs 1984 match-up!

Always an important consideration with accurately timed events (9:00 pm ET NYC: ASC 3Gem22) is the participants' first natal planet to rise. We don't need a correct time of birth for this.

For Gov. Tim Walz it's his natal Venus @2Gemini = everyone's friend. For JD Vance it's his North Node @4Gemini followed closely by natal Chiron (Rx @7Gemini) opposing his Uranus-South-Node conjunction in early Sagittarius - all are signatures of Vance's close associations with Technology and with Peter Thiel, the "tech bro" who bankrolled Vance's election to the US Senate where he has "served" for approximately 18 months.

City Mouse vs Country Mouse?

Now besides a noticeable measure of condescension and arrogance from one of the candidates while home truths flow naturally from the other, the planetary contacts between the two men show a great amount of tension and frustration - born a generation apart. Therefore, the atmosphere during the October 1st Debate should prove to be unpredictable at best, yet certainly entertaining, if you appreciate that sort of thing.

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.
