Feb 2025 Lunations: Leo/Pisces

Dual DC Horoscopes: Feb 2025 Lunations

by Jude Cowell, partisan for the common good

February 12, 2025 (chart with notations shown lower left) brings first a Full Moon @24Leo06 and perhaps uncovers a few inconvenient facts or scandalous secrets (as a Lunar Eclipse often does; plus, a culmination of something planned around the time of the prior New Moon of January 29 @9AQ51).

Additionally, this particular Leo Full Moon lands near the Mars Rising (26Leo) of he-who-shall-not-be-named, and squares zealous Uranus which by transit sits atop the Midheaven of his natal chart suggesting the disruption and chaos he now causes = his goal. Yes, quirky Uranus, planet of Technology, brought sudden change to his career prospects, didn't it?

2016 Neptune oppo 19 North Eclipse:

Deception, misunderstandings, discontent (Tyl); plus, cultism, theft, loss, fraud, corruption, lies, gaslighting, self-deception, delusions and illusions, fantasy worlds, propaganda, mass media, the masses, mass immigration, Art-Music-Poetry, creative imagination, spiritual escapism, water events, glamour, chaos, confusion, deceptive schemes, suspicion, spying, drug use (including alcohol), oil, gas, fumes, poisons and toxins, dissolution, disappointment, seduction, scandal, erosion, unreliability, disguises, dreams and visions, uncertainty, insecurity, waste, urge to merge, The Divine Source. You can think of other potentials for nebulous Neptune, I suspect.

Then on February 27, 2025 (chart shown upper right) comes a New Moon @9Pis40 which conjuncts transit Neptune Rx on September 1, 2016 during the 19 North Eclipse of realism, coming down to Earth and tackling the truth - and seeing things for what they really are (B. Brady). The 2016 opposition from deceptive Neptune undermined the truth tackling contained within the 19N eclipse enough to finagle Mr. T. into the Oval Office the first time.

Now he's back with more criming, and the secret planning at the February New Moon in Pisces will culminate or be revealed around the Lunar Eclipse @23Vir57 on March 14, 2025 - and will perfect close to US 1776 Neptune (22:25) which squares our 1776 Mars - which conjuncts his natal Gemini Sun. With a Virgo lunation, we may expect topics such as health and (un)employment to be in the news. Not that we need Astrology to tell us this.

2025 Sun-Moon Square Uranus: sudden developments; intense independence; possible breakup (Tyl); radical insights; potential for violence; stubbornness; dogmatism (Oken).

Now We the People are in worsening conditions as is much of the world, and the February 2025 New Moon in shady Pisces, similar to a disruptive "wild card" Solar Eclipse, may time current events involving deception, gaslighting, and fraud. Not that the "big lie" has ever let up!

The point is, 19 North opposed by Neptune influenced both Election 2016 and Inauguration 2017, its subversive effects linger, and these fuzzy conditions continue to be utilized against America by sinister meddlers, crooks, and wealthy manipulators.

As for the above lunation horoscopes set for DC, you'll notice that multiple planets plus Chiron stand out: Mercury conjunct Ceres (food supply; democracy) at the Full Moon, Mars is OOBs and up to who-knows-what (see lower left corner), Jupiter (traveling with gold-hoarding Midas), Neptune still floating through its own sign of Pisces, and Pluto, leader of a ruthless Locomotive shape of planets; then Pluto leads a BOWL pattern of advocacy of a cause, or having a mission. Tragically, transforming the US government into an authoritarian nightmare while destroying US society come quickly to mind.

And marked on the dual chart and highlighted in blue as the dates of the current US 1776 Chiron Return/s (3x) with the final return perfecting on February 18th - between the February 2025 Full and New Moons. Our Chiron's Sabian Symbol: "A Pugilist Entering the Ring" which can suggest multiple things these days including the belligerent, grudge-holding Mars Rising denizen of the Underworld who's spoiling for a fight.

A Natal Chart for Alexander the Great!

by Jude Cowell, partisan for the common good

From the category of Historical Horoscopes, and ancient ones at that, we can hardly do better than a natal chart for Alexander the Great, namesake of Alexandria, Egypt, and a fabled leader born July 19, 0356 BCE in Pella, Macedonia where his father, Philip II, was born. Its antiquity means that labeling the chart "speculative" is advised.

Note: Try as I might, I cannot induce my SolarFire software to accept coordinates for Pella, Macedonia so I'm using what it gives me; the correct location is listed on the chart so perhaps you can do better!

Below you see the horoscope for Alexander that I'm favoring of late although naturally you may have other ideas. Any astro-notes I have for this chart are penned on the image for you, and the Prenatal Eclipse Saros Series ("PE") into which Baby Alexander was born is not available information, as far as I can ascertain. Yet we know that the solar eclipse manifested in the sign of Taurus the Bull with all the positive and negative traits that the Venus-ruled sign may bring with it, possessiveness being one.

Now obviously, no one then was aware of power-craving Pluto which here conjuncts the Aries Point, a Cardinal World Point of Fame, Recognition, and Fortune; this is a major stand-out feature of his chart:

Recommended is Biography's mini bio of Alexander the Great: King of Macedonia - it's only 2m 51s and I selected just for you!

btw: Some sources give his birth date as July 20, 0356. jc

The True Liberation Day 1945

by Jude Cowell, partisan for the common good

Perhaps you noticed that on Inauguration Day 2025, Mr. T. in his speech referred to the occasion as "liberation day" for America, which is a typical ploy of a "thunder stealer" like he-who-shall-not-be-named-in-this-post. January 20, 2025 was also Martin Luther King Jr Day 2025, as you know, and shabbily a connection to Dr. King and what he stood for was clumsily attempted.

Yet we know that historically, the actual Liberation Day refers to January 27, 1945 when Russia's Red Army liberated the Auschwitz concentration camp along with the victims who clung to life therein. With the Army arriving at 3:00 pm that day, here's a Horoscope of Liberation Day 1945 plus, the same Horoscope surrounded by Auschwitz Liberation Day's Solar Return 2025 chart arriving this Monday:

As the charts reveal, in January 1945 a powerful Sun-Pluto opposition was in progress symbolizing people acting as agents for major transformation within a challenging environment - personal metamophosis is the key and it affected the liberators as well as the liberated. Other liberations of N*zi death camps followed. The 2025 Sun-Pluto Conjunction - Pluto of the Underworld - also relates to metamorphosis but with a streak of self-annihilation added within an evolutionary vs devolutionary challenge or atmosphere, as we have now.

Devolution suggests delegating power from a central government to people such as the fellow from South Africa whose recent salute onstage showed who and what he admires, if there was any doubt at all.

In closing, here's a previous post with a view of a related Historical Horoscope: When Hitl*r Became President.

USA and the Saturn-Neptune Cycle

by Jude Cowell, partisan for the common good

As you know, there are multiple potentials (quite a mixed bag) that can express via the Saturn-Neptune pairing. Within their 33-to-36-year cycle, the two planets meet once again in Great Conjunction on February 20, 2026 @00Ari45, the Aries Point of World Events. Their current cycle began in 1989 with three exact conjunctions in the Zodiacal range of 10--12 degrees of Saturn-ruled Capricorn.

Their placements in Capricorn suggest possibilities such as industry, a strong will, realism, truth, self-restraint, diplomacy, endurance, one-sidedness, slow advncement, economy, egocentrism (Saturn), plus, success through crooked means, strange objectives, delving into religious problems, deep research, people with little sense of reality, secrets, subversion, liquids, fumes, gases, poisons (Neptune).

Then depending on which technique we prefer for three-fer returns and conjunctions, and because a fresh conjunction arrives next year, I'd say that we are now operating within the third phase of the pairing which began with the November 13, 1989 Conjunction @10Cap22. This chart is shown as the outermost horoscope in the following tri-wheel and it's the DC Horoscope operative until their next conjunction on February 20, 2026 at Aries Point (2026 chart shown, below):

Saturn-Neptune Meet February 20, 2026:

So here's a partial list of potential expressions of the Saturn-Neptune duo when their energies combine; any, all, or none may apply or may alternate expression:

Social safety net programs, Socialism and other forms of -isms in government, delusions among leadership, inefficient use of capable advice, policies that restrict spies, using and hiding lies and deception, false hopes that lead to nothing, secret or invisible government, weakness, depression, pessimism, and/or illness, mistaken religious leaders, uncovering or restricting fraud, continuing detrimental practices, regrets, denial of responsibility, utilizing illusion, shabby practices, neglect in society, abandoning responsibility, an illusion of respectability, breaking through existing circumstances toward "the dream", loss via dissolution, erosion, or theft, martyrdom, a sense of being wronged, losing focus, Earth and Water events - and the list goes on and on when restrictive Saturn and urge to merge Neptune act as a "team" (Oken; Ebertin; Munkasey; Tyl), their energies heightened at Conjunciton.

Then as you know, both planets are considered karmic in nature due to Saturn's orbit lasting 28--30 years, while pokey pup Neptune takes 164 years to complete an orbit. Meanwhile, inadequately addressed conditions and neglected problems pile up until they must surface. Yes, events feel as if they come from the outside, but the issues have been with us all along, often bubbling on a back burner.

Now additionally, there are basic concerns about the upcoming Saturn-Neptune Conjunction in 2026 because of the last few years and it's the fact that the planets meet during what will likely be Year Two of the second go-round of Mr.T. "manning" America's helm with finger on The Button, a convicted felon and figurehead in the US of a global Underworld network of crooks and looters (Neptune-Pluto). Concerns include delusions and illusions (Neptune) about authority figures (Saturn). And as we've seen, running the American Ship of State aground is the aim of our enemies, domestic and foreign, and they must be stopped. Yet now that the fox is in the henhouse again, it will be complicated. Some folks are calling for the impeachment of Mr. T., a valiant effort which could boost Democrats at Midterms 2026.

Of course, all of the difficulties have been the case for years now but as a new cycle of Saturn-Neptune begins, we may expect the gaslighting, lies, and fraud to increase, both here and abroad, along with a potential for societal events to manifest, perhaps some weather-related - any of which may trigger hysteria (R. Ebertin) within sections of the population.

Now here are a few general astro-notes concerning Saturn in Pisces where the lesson bringer planet of Old Age, accountability, fears and flaws hangs out until 2026. And you know how Neptune, floating through in its own sign of shady Pisces, has timed a period of contagion, confusion, mass migration and delusion - and fears and paranoia.

Then looking at soon-coming lunations as we must, here are the Solar and Lunar Eclipses of 2025 (DC Horoscopes shown) including themes of both Solar Eclipses, all of which energies will run in the background of society - until influences from the 10 North Eclipse of February 2026 @29AQ take over; notably, the Saturn-Neptune Conjunction of 2026 occurs under the 10 North.

Has Grover Cleveland come again?

Tomorrow's Inauguration, an attempt to legalize corruption and collapse the USA, will feel like the 2nd Inauguration of old Grover Cleveland but with different music. And with musical Neptune in late degrees of Pisces hiding Grover's natal Sun!

Update Jan 21, 2025: As turns out, Mr. T is said to have something of a crush on William McKinley the Robber Baron president. Yet one must assume that he is aware of Mr. McKinley's untimely fate.

Sun Opposite Inauguration 2025 Sun

by Jude Cowell, partisan for the common good

Here's a brief look at a biwheel of Horoscopes showing the exact moment of opposition from the Sun (00Leo53:22) to the Inauguration 2025 Sun (00AQ53:22). This marks the time that the plans of January can benefit from reassessment, and changes can be made, if necessary.

For individuals, this works by considering the exact Sun position six months from our birthdays - our unbirthday - so let's use the method for clues about the authoritarian administration hunkering down once again in the White House.

Plus, we can think of the comparison as a transit horoscope, if we prefer.

Additionally, the July 23, 2025 Horoscope shown below (outer) may be consulted until Inauguration 2025's Solar Return 2026, which is another good way to investigate how plans are proceeding in Washington DC. This we'll consider in a future post.

Neptune-Pluto from 29AQ40 to 2Pis21

Concerns and fears over the authoritarian oligarchs who've seized the powerful helm of America and are pushing incompetent lackeys into key governmental positions, there are multiple notes penned on the above image regarding the obvious astrological symbol of leadership via power and control of others: Sun-Pluto.

Also closely involved in the fascist movement is the global criminal network of Underworld figures, the gangsters and mobsters for which I tend to use the Neptune-Pluto duo in charts; the pair can also symbolize occultism, mysticism, or the supernatural.

Then with Mr. T. obsessed over the Gilded Age/Robber Baron era of the 1890s with its tariffs and extreme wealth of the few (aka, oligarchy but Plutocracy also applies), I continue keeping an eye on the transiting Neptune-Pluto midpoint which shifts from quirky Aquarius to shady Pisces, as we can see. This shift I read as "draining the system."

Previously discussed here on SO'W is the fact that the current Neptune-Pluto Cycle of 492 years' duration began with Conjunction - three times in 1891/92 upon US 1776 Uranus in early Gemini. Now as we know, Uranus is America's totem planet of revolt, anarchy, unrest, chaos - and radical reactionary politics. And considering that the planetary trio's potentials include unusual means of changing reality, and/or impersonal attitudes toward destructive or antisocial activities (M. Munkasey), we see these destructive energies playing out in the US via "maga" types, and on the World Stage - since it's a global authoritarian movement.

America's Saturn-Uranus Cycle

by Jude Cowell, partisan for the common good

With America's Saturn-Uranus duo of July 4, 1776 in a beneficial trine relationship of progressiveness and an ability (of our Founders) to blend past and present values together for best effect by joining historical perspective within the context of the actual moment, I share this with you today as radical, unwanted reforms loom directly ahead.

Their ability was to successfully couple inventiveness with common sense (A. Oken), yet as we know, one political party nowadays in the US has completely lost - or purposefully tossed out - their ability to behave with common sense. Apparently, the 1854 party's 2017-2018 Neptune Return/s effectively eroded any common sense they possessed and morphed it into cultism, fraud, deception, and mass delusion in their search for grabbing 100 years of power - at any cost.

So being of a Mercurial nature, today I've been searching for America's initial Saturn-Uranus Cycle (first moment), a chart which could be useful for comparing transits and progressions at any point in time.

The two planets met - one signifying the past- tradition-law, the other the future-progress-change - on May 14, 1761 @7Ari42, as we see in the Horoscope displayed below.

Please note that the following Horoscope set for 4:27:01 am LMT (NS), in Philadelphia may not depict their only exact conjunction prior to July 4, 1776 but it's the one I'm going with for now in their approximately 45-year cycle; also note that this planetary pair symbolizes Israel-Palestine but this ancient topic is well beyond the scope of today's limited post - even though this very day Peace in the Middle East may have been brokered by President Joe Biden:

Penned on the chart are a bunch of my study notes plopped on for the curious reader. Because hopefully, a dear reader such as yourself might enlarge and/or print the Saturn-Uranus Horoscope of May 1761 for future reference, if need be. Or perhaps you might set up a chart for yourself and squoosh your own study notes all over it! Or not. Your choice. jc.

Meanwhile, a list of Events of 1761 contains some very interesting historical information if you're curious. Events involving tension, separation, and/or "unyielding politics" would be three influences to look for, plus, natural events. Then two famous ones are the wedding and the coronation of King George III and Duchess Charlotte of Mecklenburg-Strelitz with both ceremonial events occurring in September 1761.
