Will the US Postal Service 1775 be privatized?

by Jude Cowell, partisan for the common good

Tr*mp accused of forcing a 'hostile takeover' of USPS by pressuring them to appoint FedEx board member as postmaster explains current machinations toward the (ill-advised) privatization of the venerable service we all depend upon. As usual, for authoritarian plutocrats in the US (where the money is) "making out like bandits" is their favorite activity.

Solar Arc Directions = External Forces

So with pressure from anti-American saboteurs continuing against the very existence of the US Postal Service via demanding its privatization, let's check out the current Solar Arc Directions for the institution which has served the public well since its founding on July 26, 1775, Philadelphia, PA - with Benjamin Franklin appointed first Post Master.

A "12:00 pm" hour is used to progress the Directed planets, and as you see, SA (Solar Arc) Pluto @4Lib11 conjuncts USPS Saturn, SA Moon @3Ari11 opposes USPS Saturn (due to the Moon-Pluto opposition of July 26, 1775), and SA Saturn @13Gem10 conjuncts USPS Jupiter.

Brief descriptions of these planetary influences are listed on the bi-wheel:

We should also mention that SA Jupiter ($$) is within orb of USPS South Node, a Saturnian point of separation with potentials for loss and/or theft, plus, you'll spy other cosmic time links, I'm quite certain - especially if you wish to gain a fuller picture by adding Secondary Progressions, transits, and other methods of investigation.

Also notable is the Solar Eclipse in the 11 South Saros Series under which the USPS was founded (and under which the American Revolution began) with difficult themes of system failure and new methods and ideas are needed to deal with events - and, "any blocks can be tragically or violently removed" (B. Brady).

Then as we've discussed in previous SO'W posts, an 11 South Eclipse and its themes repeat August 2, 2027 @9Leo55 conjunct Mr. T's 12th house midpoint picture: (Underworld planet of criminality) Pluto = Mars-Saturn of death, destruction, rage, and "the intervention of a higher power" (R. Ebertin).

And yes, as always, we'll be needing the US Postal Service for significant events such as Midterms 2026.

"Winning" at Any Cost

Then perhaps that's part of reich-wing efforts against the USPS since traditionally, more US voters of the democratic persuasion use mail-in ballots.

Our Federal City: External Forces May 2025

by Jude Cowell, partisan for the common good

The accurately timed Freemasonic cornerstone laying ceremony of the Federal City aka, Washington DC, makes an intriguing historical horoscope which we considered in a January 4, 2015 SO'W post.

With data gleaned from David Ovason's book, The Secret Architecture of Our Nation's Capital (#ad), historical details abound such as the Federal City's cornerstone laying by Freemason George Washington sporting his Masonic apron and trowel on April 21, 1791 "at precisely 3:30 pm Local Time," with Jupiter rising.

Washington's friend, Andrew Ellicott (b. January 24, 1754 Bucks Co, PA), descended from a line of astronomers and was considered the "most brilliant civil engineer in the colonies." In fact, Ellicott was chosen in 1790 to survey the land for the City's construction.

Below you see The Federal City Apr 21, 1791 Horoscope (inner) surrounded by its Solar Arc Progressions for May 2, 2025 (I'm belated getting the bi-wheel on here). Astro-notes are sprinkled on the bi-wheel for the curious reader - but if you want to skip ahead to a major description of what's happening to our capital city, our country, and our people, I recommend checking out my notes upper right of Solar Arc Pluto opposing 1791 Saturn:

And here's an unmarked copy of The Federal City Horoscope for you:

Someone's looking mighty dapper for 1791!

Meanwhile, have you noticed that The Federal City's (symbolic) Progressed Full Moon perfected @18Gem33 on January 10, 2024? I thought so!

Voice of America Feb 1, 1942

by Jude Cowell, partisan for the common good

Just a quick posting today of the Voice of America (VOA) 1942 Horoscope ("12:00 pm") with my study notes scribbled on. No, I had no idea that this very day, May 1, 2025, was the third of three Uranus Returns to the VOA 1942 chart (83-84 yo) until I began working on the horoscope for this post.

If you missed it, see What is Voice of America and why is Trump dismantling the broadcaster for details.

A dire situation, yet it's too late in the day to type more than a few of my notes here so hopefully, penned-on study notes can fill in for a curious reader or two.

Below, you'll see that the 9 New South Solar Eclipse this September @29Vir05 will land directly upon VOA's 1942 Neptune (and Neptune relates to having a pleasant voice), among other cosmic happenings for the venerable agency that has worked very hard to bring news and information to a world in need of it.

Then significantly, VOA Mercury ("voice") is Stationing Rx @26AQ58, and for readers who appreciate a late Aquarius Moon for We the People (1776), a cosmic time link is shown which to me indicates that our bond with the VOA mission is being broken. Add to this the transiting Mars-Pluto opposition hitting VOA 1942 Pluto @4AQ28 Rx (conjunct 1942 Siva and opposing 1942 Icarus!) and we find the broadcaster in 2025 challenged by destruction and assassination, plus, 2025 Pluto opposing 1942 Pluto denoting a massive, existential power struggle: democracy vs fascism.

Voice of America February 1, 1942:

Founded during a 16 North Eclipse season with its vibes of Uranus-Neptune, 16N themes of Illumination of ideas, inspiration, and useful insights (B. Brady) reveal that the Total eclipse's energies fit perfectly with the broadcaster's mission through the years.

Now obviously the dismantling of the VOA - or its "take-over" by dark forces - symbolize a black shroud descending over regions and minds - which is just how the global fascist movement prefers it - this is obviously a bullet point on their to-do list. After all, the Uranus-Neptune pair also relates to Enlightenment principles - of wokeness.

Meanwhile, the entire world knows exactly who the culpable figurehead of the dismantling is (via executive order) because the role is being played by the orange marauder pretending to be a president of the United States while he and comrades purge the US government and American society simultaneously. So perhaps we can agree that none of this is governing, it's merely destruction and cruelty perpetrated by sinister bullies who think they're all that when they're really the lowest of the low.

Their Purge agenda proceeds

by Jude Cowell, partisan for the common good

So far, the depopulating purge agenda of Project 2025 proceeds apace with upcoming potentials for famine, illness, loss, poverty, and/or homelessness hanging over the heads of the American people, a feature of subversive "DOGE" activities. Any mention of purging via physical viol*nce has yet to surface, as near as I can tell, although read on for such threats might just be the case for "elites" and others who dare to stand in his nibs' way.

However, the "bl*od" lust Solar Eclipse (in the 7 North Series) has already repeated on April 20, 2023 @30 Aries, a well-activated spot in the Zodiac for its nearness to Herr Adolf's birthday (his Sun @00Tau47), plus, it's the position of combatant Mars on January 6, 2021 ("J6 Mars"), and it's the Sun's position on April 19, 1775 as timed by the "first shot" of the American Revolution.

June 30-July 2, 1934: Pesky Blockages to Power

As it came to pass, the power elite of 1934 Germany were in danger! For a murderous event of blo*d and betrayal occurred as transit Uranus @00Taurus conjoined Herr Adolf's natal Sun (00Tau47) identifying a period when ego (Sun) gratification demanded new or additional impetus, and feeling restless, an individual goes off in a new direction to seek a new identity.

In the Austrian's case, the new identity was "Fuhrer" with all the reins of power and control within one vengeful man's psychotic grasp - once he'd purged Germany of all political opponents who had questioned his decisions. An unpredictable (Uranus) and sudden (Uranus) event of disruption (Uranus) was staged and carried out under orders. Yes, a purge of his own "side" created the chaotic conditions that Herr Adolf could use to his advantage. And he "justified" his brutal actions in a speech before the Reichstag (parliament) on July 13, 1934 under the influence of an 8 North Eclipse (his "dreams and visions" came true).

Because encouraged by sidekicks Goring and Himmler, Herr Adolf used what we know as the Night of the Long Knives to consolidate his power and settle old scores, thus becoming "Fuhrer," as noted. Here's a 19-minute video by The Infographics Show channel with details and naturally there are multiple other videos for your consideration, if you prefer.

Now here's a question

Could this type of event be the threat that most Republican politicians (and others!) are so fearful of that they seem frozen in place, unable to outwardly challenge you-know-who? For as we know, history often rhymes, and admittedly, the on/off alignment of the Mars-Pluto opposition is an unsettling condition within all societies, an extenuating cosmic circumstance for such violence-attracting activities to occur if there are those with a brutal turn of mind, determined to have their way at any cost.

And this is a global fascist movement of plutocrats, technocrats, and religionists - with networks of criminal thugs propping up their mission to seize worldwide control.

So! For your further consideration, below you see the April 20, 2023 7 North Eclipse with its "blo*d" lust and "deep passion long-hidden takes people by surprise" themes (B. Brady); this is a previously published view of the 7N eclipse with my scribbled astro-notes intact, sans edits:

Then for those who can manage further reading, may I recommend Origins of the Bl*od Lust Eclipse. It's an ancient one!

A Closing Note to SO'W Readers: My sincere apology for bringing up this sinister topic today. It is in no way my preference to write about, or even to think about, and I do apreciate any forbearance you can spare. jc

His nibs' "First 100 Days" Rally

by Jude Cowell, partisan for the common good

By now you've heard that Mr. T plans to hold a rally in Macomb County Michigan on Tuesday April 29, 2025 to mark his First 100 Days, the end of which actually clocks in on Wednesday April 30th. The rally's venue is said to be just north of Detroit, and last I heard the schedule is yet to be announced.

Curiously, the evening of April 28th (not the 29th) marks the third of three Jupiter Returns in our time frame to the Roman Empire Horoscope: New Order (Campion #255) with Jupiter @20Gem58.

Jupiter @21Gemini: "A Labor Demonstration": negative expression: "futile ill-will and bluster" (M. E. Jones). Sounds perfect for a venomous blow-hard.

And now, for a dear reader such as yourself, here are two images: first an unmarked bi-wheel of the Roman Empire 0027 (inner) surrounded by the Empire's current-day Jupiter Return #3 of 3 set for April 28, 2025 (outer), Detroit; you'll find the two other Jupiter Return dates listed on the Return Chart, below:

Next are dual images of the same two horoscopes: the Roman Empire lower left, and its Jupiter Return #3 of 3 upper right.

Now I agree with you that way too many of my study notes are penned on for the curious reader, but if I can direct your attention to planetary pairs and pictures, note the perfectly timed Moon-Pluto cosmic time link, Moon-Mars = Sun (0027 chart), 2025's T-Square of Mars-Pluto = Sun, Moon-Uranus conjunct angry Algol (2025 - and conjunct his nibs' natal MC: possibly a change of plans), then the fantastical, far-reaching plans within a Thor's Hammer pattern pointing toward Jupiter which leads a ruthless Locomotive shape of planets in the 0027 chart (with Jupiter symbolizing leaders and politicians of the Empire, plus The Pope once the Empire morphed into the Catholic Church - it's never really gone away). And there are other links you'll be certain to spy:

A Theory re: Jupiter, and Pluto to 0027 Moon

Typing out loud: might this historic anniversary from 0027 BC suggest a "new order" reason for holding Mr. T's rally a day early on the 99th day - a sly tribute of sorts to empiric control intended to promote our birthday-suited emperor, a bluster boy if there ever was one?

Well, if he blusters at the rally in Detroit with words such as, "new order" or era, Rome, the (recently deceased) Pope, or a territorial expansion of empire, we might suspect that his nibs has been made aware that April 28, 2025 marks a certain Jupiter Return - and he's all about Jupiter, an expressive planet that likes to "bluster" when broadcasting his views. He blustered about his tariffs but they're not working out so well, are they? Maybe it's partially the fact that whatever transiting planet conjoins his Gemini trio, it will also oppose his natal Moon-SN conjunction so that if transit Jupiter fulfills his desires, it will be at a very high price. Of course, he'll shove the cost onto others, as he can.

Because yes, Jupiter's position @20Gem58 falls within the orange fellow's 10th house trio of planets and directly upon his natal North Node (profitable connections), then with his Libran Jupiter stationary at birth, his wide girth identifies him as a Jupiterian figure, yes? Naturally, his love of money, gold, and running the country (badly) like a Jupiterian corporation are within his wide purview as well.

So! With 2025 Jupiter conjunct Mr. T's natal North Node of destiny, he's likely feeling even more "fated" than usual these days and has recently repeated "the chosen one" claim - one assumes, to bolster his followers who believe he has a "mission" (see the BOWL shape led by 2025 Pluto @3AQ48 conjunct the 0027 BC Moon - and with 2025 Mars aggressively opposing the 0027 Moon). Oh he does, but not for the reasons they wish.

In closing, do check out the bottom right corner for the dynamic T-Square between the forceful, viol*nce-attracting Mars-Pluto opposition of 2025 pointing toward the rally's Sun in Taurus at the "A Red Cross Nurse" degree. Hopefully, this does Not symbolize another "attempt" on his nibs!

Well, dear reader, if you made it this far, Thanks for reading! Your support is always encouraging for this lonely work on behalf of our America, my only nag in the race! jc

The Hoax of Benjamin Franklin

by Jude Cowell, Daughter of the American Revolution

Dear SO'W Reader,

Have you ever looked at the Sun-Moon combinations of four of America's founders in order to ascertain their personality blends for the sake of nosing into their relationships? I refer to the Personality Blends of Franklin, Washington, Paine, and Jefferson, a previously discussed topic here on SO'W.

The reason I ask is because our nation has been infiltrated and infested by enemies and We the People are perilously close to losing what our Founding Fathers established for posterity and I'm feeling more than a little nostalgic these days for our founding Enlightenment principles. How about you?

Ben Franklin: 1st American and Hoaxer!

Now perhaps you've noticed that Benjamin Franklin's bio page is quite extensive describing the polymath, scientist, inventor, printer, writer, Almanack publisher, statesman, diplomat - well, the list goes on.

Yet the fellow born way back in 1706 was quirkily humorous as well, and not above playing tricks. In fact, one of my favorites of Ben's shenanigans is the one where he printed a death forecast for his "friend" Titus Leeds saying that "Titus" would soon pass away - on October 17, 1733 at 3:29 pm, to be precise. Cheeky!

So as you may know, "Titus" responded in print with the result that Ben's Titus hoax continued into 1734 with a second Almanack printing. Copies were sold and a fortune was made! (See lower left corner for transit Neptune opposing his natal Mars). Other transits include a 1733 Solar Eclipse conjunct his natal North Node in money-loving Taurus (see lower right corner for details), and 1733 Saturn Rx is at the "Through Imagination a Lost Opportunity Is Regained" degree - and this may be at the basis of Ben's super-creative imagination with which he invented this unusual publicity stunt for selling copies of Poor Richard's Almanack. In addition, there's 1733 North Node in Scorpio which has hit his natal 14 South Prenatal Eclipse, a Series that tends to bring success and acceptance of an obsessive idea (B. Brady). Plus, you'll spy other contacts between the charts, I'm certain:

So even though Benjamin "missed" with his original prediction, above you see the Horoscope of the alleged passing of Mr. Titus Leeds as prognosticated by Mr. Franklin writing as "Richard Saunders" in Poor Richard's Almanack - but as a transit chart (outer) to Mr. Franklin's natal Horoscope (inner); a few astro-notes are penned on for the curious reader.

As always, Thanks a Bunch for reading! jc

White House Attacks Jerome Powell and The Fed!

1913 US newspaper clipping, Public domain, via Wikimedia Commons

Within the history of the Federal Reserve Act of 1913 we find that President Woodrow Wilson signed the Act into law on the very day it passed the US Senate: December 23, 1913. That day, most Congress members were hurrying out the door for Christmas break so there were none to object to the bill's passage and enactment.

And I suppose that the Federal Reserve Act has stood America in fairly good stead ever since, and yet has kept the unfair "balance" of inequality quite well in the economic royalists' haves vs have-nots game of power and control. For as we know, silly elites equate having wealth with being intelligent and worthy to rule over the rest of us!

So now, 112 years have passed and someone of the meddling class has cued the thieves, embezzlers, and foreign raiders to yank around the US economy, decimate our National Treasury, and hollow out the lives and lifestyles of the American people - with the goal of removing the US from its perch as global leader and the US dollar from its accustomed status as reserve currency. So I suppose that We the People are no longer the corporate class' cash cow anymore. Apparently, they're done with us - like a badly written Ayn Rand novel!

And yet so far, Fed Chair Jerome Powell has resisted lowering interest rates as the albatross in the White House has demanded and this creates an additional economic drama to go along with the blighter's current tariffs turbulence in the markets, on Main Street USA with higher prices, and across the planet.

Of course, a failure to recognize the separation of the Federal Reserve System and the executive branch of government is at the base of White House demands so with this His Grabbiness creates even more anxiety as we watch Mr. Powell fend off the erosion of his power to act independently.

Okay, I'll quit fussing for now and close with a previously published, messily marked-up bi-wheel of The Fed 1913 Horoscope surrounded by the Scorpio Lunar Eclipse of May 5, 2023 chart which "eclipsed" The Fed's 1913 Scorpio Moon, a fighting spirit placement for Luna. This eclipse was basically a Lunar Return for The Fed, thereby increasing intuition concerning how to deal with issues:
