Here's a recent Thom Hartmann segment with a discussion of fascism with information that unfortunately will probably pass unnoticed by the very Americans who need to hear it most:
~:~
Now here are 3 links to previous astro-posts concerning such topics:
1. Horoscope of the Third Reich (1933 into 2017) where you'll see the 1933 abomination's Ascendant with 1933 Chiron Rx rising along with Trump's 1946 natal Midheaven (his Goal) plus, enraged Algol dragging along, and the fascist entity's Midheaven @24Capricorn where the karmic Saturn-Pluto Conjunction will combine energies on January 12, 2020 @22Cap46 (conjunct Trump's natal Vertex 22:51, a point of fated encounters, changing work conditions, and/or wish fulfillment). 2020 Saturn-Pluto = 1933 MC suggests potentials for: severity; one-sidedness; separation (flight); a desire to rise from difficult circumstances (Ebertin). Like impeachment?
Well, I wonder if 'flight' could refer to a certain culprit hightailing it outta town because handcuffs await? (Trump's resignation would be an improvement--notwithstanding a Pence assumption to power, theocracy in tow.)
Thing is, the Reich's 24Cap Midheaven and nearby Venus act as the tail of a (ruthless, high-flying) Kite pattern (1933 MC = Saturn-Pluto 2020) with 1933 Pluto Rx @21Can59 as the Kite's nose. For Third Reich data I refer you to Campion chart #126 in The Book of World Horoscopes. Starkly speaking, this is a cosmic picture of the conflict between Good vs Evil playing out on Planet Earth...Love of Life vs the Cult of Death. I choose Life. How about you?
2. Another Thom Hartmann segment in which Thom sounded the alarm in 2016 by informing us that Trump Using 'The Big Lie' Tactic Invented by Goebbels which also contains a bit of complimentary Astrology added by yours truly, plus, for the curious a link to the natal horoscope of the misshapen Joseph Goebbels.
And 3. March 23, 1919: Mussolini's Fascist Party (an Eclipse Timeline).
Having just declared independence from Great Britain's King George III as of July 4, 1776, our wet-behind-the-ears democratic Republic might not have seen coming an eclipse of US natal Sun (13Can19) quite as soon as 1777 but that's just what the Cosmos held in store for America, her founders, and her populace. An eclipsed Sun, whether signifying goal or personality, is cosmically marked for ill or good, or at the least, an imperative must be carried out in order to successfully reach a goal if karmic progress is expected or desired. Of course, both benefits and setbacks are often part of such a solar picture as well relating as it does to the solar archetype of the hero's journey and its struggles and pitfalls along the way. We may certainly place George Washington in the starring role.
Now the particular Solar Eclipse in question manifested on July 4, 1777 at 7:23:44 pm LMT @13Can10 - America's first birthday! - and I'm setting the horoscope, shown below, for Philadelphia, Pennsylvania as the capital representing America as a whole during that historical era. (Follow the 1777 link, above, for a list of historical events.)
This lunation occurred within the 14 North Saros Series with themes of 'a peculiar turn of events, despair, illness, unexpected happenings in finances, confusion in relationships, a draining of energy'--there's more which can be read in a previous post concerning Valley Forge. For you see, this 1777 manifestation of a 14 North is the Prenatal Solar Eclipse ('PE') of General George Washington's and the Continental Army's Winter at Valley Forge, a period of hardship, misery, cold winds, bare feet, and illness.
Perhaps here we should note that it's been 8 years since the last occurrence of a 14 North Eclipse @2Sagittarius (which you may remember as the 'Sequestration Eclipse' of November 25, 2011 and the peculiar formation of a 'Super Congress'); the next 14N will perfect December 5, 2029 @14Sagittarius.
So my primary point for this post is that, considering Astrology's sensitive degrees and how eclipses work through history especially when fixed stars are involved, (US natal Sun conjunct Sirius, for example, plus other stars penned upon the chart, below), it seems significant to me that America's natal Sun @13Cancer (July 4, 1776), a critical-crisis degree, continues under the sway of 14 North themes particularly as they applied to events of 1777 for it isn't as if we can ever erase our collective history from our psyches or from our personal genetics if we descend biologically or idealistically from America's Revolutionary era.
At least as a Child of the Revolution I know I can't erase such history, and this is one of the several things my genealogical research of ancestors has shown me. So until further notice, 13 Cancer remains our national Sun degree of leadership (substandard as it is these days) and the 1777 Solar Eclipse comes along with it--is cosmically attached to it.
Please enlarge the image if you wish to read my study notes:
Now one of the reasons I decided to publish this particular eclipse chart tonight is the restrictive Saturn-Pluto Conjunction @22Cap46 coming on January 12, 2020 (a new cycle of their energies suggesting a struggle for freedom). The struggle is intensified by the fact that, as you can see, the 14 North eclipse brought with it a karmic imperative, a Thor's Hammer pattern, aka, a Fist of God, between the Saturn-Pluto square (destruction of the existing order) and at apex, independence-loving revolutionary Uranus the Rebel @13Gem00, America's 'totem planet' of war and revolt. As a midpoint picture we have Saturn-Pluto = Uranus with potentials for: 'brutal efforts to start a new order; an attack, regardless of possible losses' (Tyl).
So although there are differences in the quality of the struggle for freedom then vs now, it is no less a karmic imperative to do battle with the forces and entities that oppress us and this very much includes the cyber war under which we now struggle along with the threat of worsening conditions. Yet there is a major difference: despair is not an option!
And so, dear reader, if you can and if you dare, please search the eclipse horoscope to "clearly analyze the matters at hand" (see Saturn-Pluto, lower left) because rhyming concerns of historic proportions have found us again. Or better yet, skip the chart and spring into action before the war for independence from foreign control (Pluto out-of-bounds and abroad!) is lost and Our America is forever altered.
14 North themes: Brady's Predictive Astrology.
This is a quick peek at the Saturn-Pluto Conjunction (January 12, 2020) @22Cap46 and where it potentially lands in the untimed natal chart of acting WH Chief of Staff Mick Mulvaney born July 21, 1967 in Alexandria, Virginia and raised in Charlotte, North Carolina. Dad was in real estate, mother was a teacher, as his Wiki bio reveals.
Now since no accurate birth hour is known for Mr. Mulvaney (last I checked), I hesitate to spend more than a minute on his cosmic condition, plus, he may be pushed out the White House door any moment by a furious Donald Trump looking for a scapegoat to blame his crimes upon. But that is the crucial point of the matter in my opinion so let's consider where the upcoming difficult cosmic pairing will hit in Mr. Mulvaney's chart even though we must ignore his natal houses and cusps.
See Politico's White House Braces for Mulvaney's Post-Impeachment Exit. Braces for? Or demands? Perhaps I'd better type more quickly!
July 21, 1967
Mulvaney's natal Sun is in late Cancer (opposite US natal Pluto Rx @27Cap32) while his Moon is in late Capricorn or early Aquarius so the Saturn-Pluto Conjunction will squelch his natal Moon if its position at birth is soon after midnight (12:00 am edt Moon 22Cap11 would be a direct hit). If this is the case, Mr. Mulvaney may have more than Trump's rage to deal with. But if his Moon is in Aquarius (or is well beyond 23 Capricorn and forming a Full Moon), Saturn-Pluto won't be as strong and/or may not affect him overmuch except in the house where 22Cap46 falls in his horoscope (if only we knew!)
But that's not all, for Mulvaney has a certain natal midpoint @21Cap30 that definitely will be hit by the Saturn-Pluto Conjunction and it is a difficult one in and of itself--Mars-Saturn of 'destructive energy' fame.
This cosmic circumstance for the fellow suggests a few difficult potentials such as Saturn-Pluto with more Saturn ('initiating terrible retributions; the final destruction of established patterns; realism about good vs bad; questioning what can be eliminated or kept) plus, Mars-Saturn with Pluto (extreme measures taken to apply force directly to those who are no longer able to defend themselves adequately; intense energy applied toward goals; respected activities are corrupted), and Mars-Saturn with more Saturn (loss of momentum from a lack of drive by leaders; deficiencies in planning; prudence and caution disregarded as pressure is brought for completing stalled work) - Midpoints: Unleashing the Power of the Planets, Michael Munkasey. Could that be pressure from boss Putin?
And of course, you remember that Donald Trump was born under the Mars-Saturn = Pluto midpoint picture with its brutal, cruel, death-dealing, rage-toward-destruction energies that Mr. Mulvaney should wish to avoid at all costs--if he can.
Yet this vicious picture has one saving grace, according to Reinhold Ebertin, so let's cling to this: Intervention of a higher power. Thus we can, at the least, hope that this potential will favor beneficial outcomes for us all despite the vengeful, blame-avoiding nature of Donald Trump. As long as the 'higher power' isn't an entity manipulating Trump operatives from a foreign land.
Winter Solstice December 21, 2019:
Sun to 00Cap00:00 at 11:19:40 pm est (Washington DC horoscope); 3rd quarter Moon (crisis in consciousness phase), solar hour, with Sun in 4th house focusing on Real Estate, Mining, Roots, the Domestic Scene, Security, and Endings, and Moon @9Sco00 in 2nd hou$e leading a BOWL shape of planets. We The People are feeling Scorpionic these days and on into 2020 at least until Spring Equinox 2020 (March 19 with Moon in Aquarius). And naturally, intense, brooding Scorpio involves such realms as research, investigation, spying and surveillance, Big Business, death, the occult, and regeneration. Death and regeneration resonate with the 'traumatic transformation via news received or short journeys' and 'sudden endings of associations possibly with a young person' vibes of the December 26, 2019 3 South Solar Eclipse @4Cap06 with Capricorn's governmental, legal, business, investment, authority, and accountability connotations.
Also in 4th house with the Sun are protective, expansive, broadcasting Jupiter @4Cap24 (heralding the Christmas 2019 Eclipse which Jupiter will conjunct), Saturn @20Capricorn, a critical-crisis degree, and powerful Pluto @22Cap04 sitting upon the natal Vertex of Donald Trump (22Cap51 = karmic encounters) where the Saturn-Pluto Conjunction will perfect on January 12, 2020. Saturn's position at Winter Solstice also portends the January 10, 2020 Lunar Eclipse @20Cancer conjunct Castor, a revealing lunar eclipse which may provide information about a Senate Impeachment trial in early 2020. And obviously, the January 10th Lunar Eclipse is the Syzygy Moon of the Saturn-Pluto rendezvous approximately 2 days later plus, the Christmas 2019 Solar Eclipse is the karmic conjunction's Prenatal Eclipse ('PE'). Follow the link to view both eclipse charts.
Additionally, the January 2020 Lunar Eclipse helpfully provides clues concerning our collective reaction to the December 2019 Solar Eclipse conditions and events with the two eclipses emphasizing the Cancer-Capricorn security axis and its home vs career issues and concerns. Sign rulers Moon and Saturn suggest ambition and strategy although some indication of depression or emotional suppression may be involved--and yes, the harsh Saturn-Pluto Conjunction in January may add to such difficulties for some folks depending on how the conjunction affects their planets.
Also in the Winter Solstice 2019 chart is a hint of freedom-closeness issues (Moon-Uranus oppo) along with the lunar-led BOWL pattern's tendency to suggest people on a mission and/or the advocacy of a cause (Jones). (Impeaching and removing Trump perhaps? A majority of Americans want that, please). And naturally, intense, brooding Scorpio involves such realms as research, investigation, spying, surveillance, Big Business, Insurance, Debt and Credit, death, the occult, and regeneration. To me, 'death' and 'regeneration' resonate with the 'traumatic transformation via news received or short journeys' and 'sudden endings of associations possibly with a young person' vibes of the December 26, 2019 3 South Solar Eclipse @4Cap06 with Capricorn's governmental, legal, business, investment, authority, and accountability connotations. Note that 3 South eclipses have occurred in the years 1911, 1929, 1947, 1965, 1983, and 2001. And here's what I hope is only a cosmic curiosity: the 3 South Solar Eclipse of November 1, 1929 perfected @9Scorpio, the position of the Winter Solstice 2019 Moon.
So as you can see, the "Black Tuesday" Crash of 1929 occurred under the influence of the close-enough 3 South Eclipse in 'Big Business' Scorpio.
Another significant factor in the horoscope set for DC at Winter Solstice 2019: 20Vir34 rises which brings up fixed star Denebola (out of the mainstream; to go against society) and this star conjoins the natal Midheaven of Joe Biden. Is there a 2020 Campaign message about candidate Biden's aspirations here? What do you think?
However, the chart's Midheaven @19Gem15 places Trump's natal 10th house trio of Uranus-North-Node-Sun smack dab upon the most visible point of the chart and gives Winter Solstice 2019 Geminian and Uranian flavors with all that Mercury-ruled Gemini and the disruption and radical reforms of shocking Uranus (Trump's guiding planet). So in relation to Uranian Trump's conduct, we may expect a continuation of duplicity, quirkiness, deception, chaos, upsets, change, superficiality, insults, protests, many communications, gossip, commerce, trade, travel, new and fluctuating ideas and plans, to spew out of his quixotic, sneaky mind.
Winter Solstice 2019's Cosmic Weather
Yes, there are several other chart factors of note, but let's close with a few indications of the Earth-Water Sun Capricorn-Moon Scorpio combination of energies which necessarily must involve the signs' malevolent rulers Saturn, Mars, and Pluto. As a trio, these three karmic culprits suggest Trump's enraged, brutal, even murderous, natal midpoint picture of Mars-Saturn = Pluto. That he intends to take revenge for the Democrats' vote to impeach is a given especially considering his natal Mars rising with royal star Regulus (success if revenge is avoided; if not, all that been gained will be taken away). From all indications (plus, his retaliating nature), revenge will not be avoided. So for now, Big T is like a cobra ready to strike. And the Winter Solstice 2019 North Node @8Can25 in 10th house (the head of the dragon) continues to direct us toward Trump's natal Mercury (8:51) while transit South Node (the tail of the dragon) is ready to swipe transit Jupiter (conflicts of interest; social and ethical aims clash with prevailing customs; and/or obstacles due to bad timing--Sakoian and Acker.)But back to the Sun-Moon combo of energies - first, an apt quote from Clement Atlee, rival of Churchill, who was probably born under the influence of the Capricorn-Scorpio personality blend: "Democracy means government by discussion but it is only effective if you can stop people talking." I shall assume he was criticizing government's tendency toward 'all talk and no action' (aka, all hat, no cattle) which gets little if anything useful done. Excessive propaganda and overblown boasting fit in there somewhere.
Yet Earth-Water is a practical, nourishing combo with the innate wisdom to know what is important and what is not. Sun Capricorn-Moon Scorpio (best results when leaders and the people work together) supplies courage, dedication, and a "heroic strength of character." The ambition of Capricorn blends with Scorpio's passion and emotional self-control which often creates an attraction to law and social reform, plus, the pair supplies the knowledge that we'd better be prepared for future attacks. Knowing where we stand on significant issues is a must which relates quite easily to campaign proposals and policies touted by the 2020 candidates. All of them including Trump if he manages to stand for re-election. Common sense is definitely a feature of this blend so, personally speaking, if voting for Trump in 2020 (which is a vote for Putin) seems like common sense to you, Lord please help America.
For more details see Sun Sign-Moon Sign by Charles and Suzi Harvey.
Cosmically speaking, there is one timing event that may attend the Senate trial of Donald Trump no matter the trial's date: the January 10, 2020 Lunar Eclipse @20Cancer conjunct Castor - near Trump's natal Saturn, planet of accountability. The next Lunar Eclipse won't perfect until June 5, 2020 @16Sagittarius so a Senate trial prior to that date will fall under the auspicious lunar rays of the January 2020 eclipse and those of the December 2019 Capricorn Solar Eclipse (next solar eclipse manifests at Summer Solstice 2020--more on that in a future post).
Now as you know, both solar and lunar eclipses tend to uncover secrets, broadcast inconvenient facts, leak intell, and/or point out all manner of ugliness via their karmic rays. Lunar Eclipses are excellent spotlights that reflect and reveal hidden things especially since the astrological Moon in Mundane Astrology relates to the Collective Unconscious. And after all, eclipses aren't known as 'wild cards of the Universe' and 'cosmic blinks' for nothing! For disruptions and sudden changes of direction--in similar fashion to astrological Uranus--are often triggered and/or timed by eclipses and not necessarily on their exact dates of manifestation. Plus, due to the sensitization of degrees, eclipse influences can last for months or years.
So if you care to take a look, a recent post was published showing both the DC Horoscopes of the December 26, 2019 Solar Eclipse @4Cap06 and the January 10, 2020 Lunar Eclipse @20Cancer (20Can/Cap = critical-crisis degrees--and here we are). In this case, the January 2020 Lunar Eclipse provides cosmic information on our reaction to events brought by the December 2019 Solar Eclipse. Also shown in the charts is the fact that the transiting North Node continues to point toward Trump's natal Mercury (8Can51) (see below) suggesting public contacts concerning his communications, facts, reports, and commercial enterprises (Mercury), and meetings, tribal and otherwise, which would include his rallies.
Then on a side note (or is it?!), perhaps you'll agree that it's quite curious that the January 2020 Lunar Eclipse @20Cancer 'eclipses' the rising Jupiter Rx in the Moscow Miss Universe Pageant 2013 horoscope! Will darker secrets of Jupiterian Trump's 2013 Moscow visit finally be publicly revealed?
Now here's an excerpt from a previous post concerning the natal Mercury of Donald Trump:
Mercury in (tribal) Cancer indicates a mind that is influenced by deep-seated emotional patterns and desires which cause one to look at some facts while ignoring others. This allows bias, prejudice, a lack of objectivity, and incorrect judgments to result. A good memory may be denoted due to the emotional intensity associated with various thoughts and learning often occurs through osmosis rather than by traditional teaching methods. The osmosis accounts in part for his tendency to 'listen to the last thing he heard someone say' and then to spout it as his own thought which can change in a flash due to high susceptibility to the thoughts, opinions, and attitudes of those in his environment (ex: FOX News). Emotional appeals hold particular sway over Mercury in Cancer's thinking with patriotism on the top of the list (Cancer = home, homeland, family, mother, women, real estate, nurturing such as food, comfort, familiar surroundings). As you must have noticed, Mr. Trump exhibits 24/7 the Mercury in Cancer trait of believing that whatever is done or spoken within his environment is directed expressly or exclusively toward him.
And now as 2020 approaches, it pretty much is.

December 19, 2019: With Christmas celebrations around here today my blogging time is brief but I shall post below a DC Horoscopes tri-wheel with Trump natal in center, the July 2, 2019 3 North Solar Eclipse in the middle, and last evening's Impeachment of Donald J. Trump timed for 8:09 pm est when the Vote was first called for. Circled are significant contacts between his natal (unaspected) Pluto @10Leo02, the 3 North Eclipse's Midheaven @10Leo04 (chart set for Washington DC, Sun-Moon @10Can37 in the midst of America's Venus-Jupiter-Sun trio), and last night's Impeachment Vote Ascendant @10Leo04.
UPDATE Dec 20, 2019: excerpt from my previous post on current transits to the Republican Party's natal planets: Republican Party Horoscope "July 6, 1854 5:00 pm LMT (Sun 14Can27 Mercury 10Leo05; Moon 28Sco00 ) Ripon, Wisconsin" to note that Mercury @10Leo05 is also pinged by Trump's natal Pluto, eclipsed by the 3 North Solar Eclipse of July 2, 2019, and was rising with Trump's Pluto when the Impeach Vote was called for at 8:09 pm est on December 18, 2019. A significant midpoint picture thus formed denoting an intense desire to 'control information, its sources, and its dissemination' (Mercury-Pluto = ASC; Munkasey). Ruthlessness toward hiding secrets was and is involved.
Apparently the Cosmos is playing peep-eye with Underworld 'god' Pluto, Trump's hidden-in-12th-house planet of underworld mobster connections via its degree and symbol. Rounding up we have Pluto-MC-ASC: "11 Leo" = "Children on a Swing in a Huge Oak Tree...negative expression: laziness exalted as a virtue." Its Illumination Point (opposite degree/symbol) is "11 Aquarius = "Man Tete-a-Tete With His Inspiration"...negative expression: complete self-obsession." (Jones).
Other contacts currently in play include transit North Node conjunct Trump's natal Mercury, and transit Pluto opposing Trump's natal Saturn (authority challenged--by a higher power?) and I'm certain you'll spy others:
3 North theme: news that transforms a situation (Brady).
And btw: Putin is boasting and laughing at what a Russian agent Trump is. Which means that in 2020, a vote for Trump is a vote for Putin. Check out Malcolm Nance on The Stephanie Miller Show for details.
During the Civil War, The Election of 1864 was "A Different kind of Election" during which Abraham Lincoln won his second term with 55% of the popular vote. The National Union Party, as the Republican Party was temporarily called at that time, counted Mr. Lincoln as a member.
Now with all the turmoil in America and the Republican Party in a bright spotlight we may wish to search for any major planetary transits to the Republican Party Horoscope. Thing is, there are at least two such horoscopes in circulation (that I know of!) yet with both set for 1854, we can be assured that the transits are in progress of affecting the party and its members with the main difference being one of timing of the transits' exactitude.
There are two Republican Party horoscopes in my files: March 20, 1854 6:30 pm LMT (Sun 00Ari05 conjunct Mercury Rx 5Ari18; Moon 20Sag27) Ripon, Wisconsin, and July 6, 1854 5:00 pm LMT (Sun 14Can27 Mercury 10Leo05; Moon 28Sco00 ) Ripon, Wisconsin. Either chart may be set for other hours depending on the choices made by various astrologers. (Note that no Angles or cusps are included or considered in the following.)
Current Transits of Saturn, Pluto, and Uranus
The 2019--2020 transiting planets I'm noting today are the exact Saturn-Pluto Conjunction of January 12, 2020 @22Cap46 (noon est) which 'hits' the natal Jupiters in both charts: March 20 Jupiter @22Cap59 and July 6 Jupiter Rx @23Cap52--with both Jupiters 2 to 5 degrees from Chiron in Capricorn (Chiron Rx on July 6, 1854), and transit Uranus on January 12, 2020 @2Tau39.
Now as I type (December 16, 2019 12:45 est Raleigh NC) transit Saturn @19Cap58 and tr Pluto @21Cap53--both moving in direct motion--are aligning for their big meeting on January 12, 2020 @22Cap46 (conjunct Trump's natal vertex!) and to me it seems their energies are already affecting the Republican Party via its Jupiter and its Uranus (@1Tau30 on March 20, 1854 and 3Tau48 on July 6, 1854). Let's list them as separate transits:
2019-2020 Saturn conjunct 1854 Jupiter denotes a period of serious spiritual and economic concerns and possible restrictions in these realms; if prosperous it's time to share and to give back, plus, divergence from or breaking of rules, laws, and traditions leads to limitation, frustration, and delay.
2019--2020 Pluto conjunct 1854 Jupiter indicates a time when greater power and influence is sought in the political and financial realms (which may or may not succeed); total honesty is required for best results, exaggeration and misrepresentation can backfire, and social and/or religious reforms may inspire fanaticism and intolerance.
2019--2020 Uranus conjunct 1854 Pluto (@1Tau30 on March 20 and 3Tau35 on July 6, 1854) tends to bring abrupt shifts and changes in society and serious psychological adjustments that are necessary and may trigger hidden fears and complexes that are difficult to directly and honestly confront. And as you know, Uranus-Pluto energies combined suggests potentials for: riots, revolutions, protests, upheavals that bring changes in government, upsets, unrest, violent acts, subversive activities, the enforcement of decisions, the process of transformation, and 'collapse of the old order, construction of the new' (Ebertin). To Uranus-Pluto Michael Munkasey adds, "sudden new criminal acts." We see these every day!
Jupiter Expands What He Touches
In closing, we may also wish to consider the midpoint of harsh Saturn-Pluto with 1854 Jupiter as apex of a midpoint picture with potentials for: religious and social fanaticism, sacrifice, difficulties caused by illness (Ebertin); trouble with authority, trying to save what's left, staying out of trouble, adoption of the austere (Tyl); and/or, people with leadership and power to dispense (Munkasey).
Well, there's my spot check on the cosmic condition of the Republican Party (aka, the Trump Party) in our current day. If this post seems helpful or revealing at all perhaps you'll Share and discuss the topic among yourselves!
December 13, 2019: Here's an interesting 4-minute segment from today's Thom Hartmann broadcast based on an article in The Guardian which asks a very important question:
During the vote, the Moon (the public; publicity) and the transiting North Node (public contacts; destiny) met in conjunction upon the natal 11th house Mercury (8Can51) of Donald Trump suggesting much public attention focused on the proceedings with an emphasis on his words and transactional endeavors (Mercury: communications, commerce, trade, lies, duplicity).
Other significant cosmic events occurred during the proceedings such as wounded healer Chiron Station Direct and turning Direct 11 hours 19 minutes prior to 10:07 am est @1Ari26:01--stationed upon America's natal IC in our 5:09 pm LMT horoscope of July 4, 1776. As you know, in our late afternoon charts, US Chiron is in the 4th house of Roots @21Aries: "A Pugilist Entering the Ring" - we began with Revolution - and I know that every American has heard our Founding Fathers and the US Constitution mentioned upteen times during this dreary political saga among other founding principles: 4th house foundational and structural matters under attack and thus, wounded.
Related, here's an excerpt from a previous post concerning transit Chiron to Aries Point (3 times from 2018 into 2019) along with the quirky Trumpian Sun-Uranus combination of energies via Michael Munkasey's expertise and use of the Hegelian Dialect:"Thesis: Political changes that shape the quality of all efforts; reforms which initiate changes to authority or power; legislation mandating major reforms in policies; revolutions which bring fundamental changes.
Antithesis: Rebellions designed solely for the removal of an existing leader; the changes which accompany upheavals; rule makers or interpreters battling decision makers; a contrary head of state with unusual habits." (Midpoints: Unleashing the Power of the Planets, MM).
Now House Impeachment Day's various cosmic events affecting the natal chart of Donald Trump also include but are not limited to: Sun @21Sag17 conjunct natal Moon (and his South Node--lack of popularity) and opposing his natal Gemini Sun-North Node (in natal 10th house of Public Standing) which contains culmination/fulfillment vibes (Sun to Moon). Sun opposite natal Sun is meant to be a time when we reconsider our course and goals for the year and correct them if needed--little if any chance of such wisdom a la Trump. Also transit asteroid Tisiphone (retaliation) @24Sco06 conjoins Trump's natal IC and no one needs Astrology to inform them of how Mars-rising Trump the Vengeful will react to impeachment.
(But for helpful ideas on this topic we can always turn to a year-old Randy Rainbow parody song and 'interview' with Trump If You Ever Got Impeached.)
Another cosmic event this morning was a significant midpoint conjunct Trump's Sun and thus his Moon: Saturn-MC with potentials for: 'falling into states of depression or psychosis; lack of courage to face life' (except by bluster, deception, and distraction! jc); 'insufficient powers of defense; worry; sickness' (Ebertin). Add 'inability to get over one's losses', and 'suffering from the consequences of wrong actions' (Neptune-MC = Saturn, planet of lawmakers and attorneys) and the picture becomes fuller. Obsession joined the impeachement party this afternoon as the Moon @10Can37 conjoined and activated the themes of the July 2, 2019 Solar Eclipse in the over-excessive 3 North Saros Series: 'news which transforms a situation' and that may involve 'a young person' (Brady). As you know, old man Trump has been assaulting 16-year-old climate activist Greta Thunberg this week.
Plus, when it comes to serial enemy-maker Trump we should note that today's Nemesis @22Vir53 (divine retribution--another reference to retribution; the unbeatable foe) conjoins America's natal Neptune, planet of the masses, the media, propaganda, confusion, fraud, loss, deception, and idealism.
What else the Nemesis-Neptune conjunction may portend is your guess as good as mine.

With America's first-ever Pluto Return/s coming in 2022, and in consideration of the duration of karmic Pluto's cycle of approximately 248 years, it has become an interest of mine to find the historical date/s of Pluto based on its January 12, 2020 degree. For as you know, this is the date of the next Saturn-Pluto Conjunction @22Cap46:34 through which current and upcoming political, financial, and social events will resonate, perhaps harshly or in a restrictive, compressed manner. Certainly, we know that hard work will be required.
In comparison, the last (and current until January 12, 2020) Saturn-Pluto Conjunction @27Lib36 was in 1982 under Reagan's presidency with his voo doo financial finaglings and slights of hand under which We The People have suffered these many years while the wealthy class has grown fatter and bossier. However, please note that in this post I'm looking at Pluto's position at the moment of the 2020 Saturn-Pluto Conjunction and not its US natal position in 1776 (Rx @27Cap32/33 in natal 2nd hou$e) although some historical overlap or similarities may be be noticed involving the years 1773--1776. And so the 2020 Conjunction times a Pluto Return to the 1773/1774 positions listed below and we may wonder: will history rhyme if not repeat? Well, the 2020 Pluto Return symbolizes a cosmic time link of karmic proportions, so we'll see, won't we?Now when we sleuth for Pluto @22Cap46:34, we discover that the manipulating wealth-hoarder was lurking about during the years 1773 and 1774 and suggesting potentials for foreign agents, spying and intrigue, hidden wealth, and manipulation from abroad. Sounds familiar! Historical events of 1773 and 1774 show several interesting incidents, discoveries, activities, speeches, an essay, and legislation, some relating to the American Revolution and the First Continental Congress (May 28, 1774), some to scientific breakthroughs, and several having to do with the Boston Tea Party of December 16, 1773--plus, Britain's fussy reaction to it via King George III--and the Boston Massacre.
Another notable if quirky event was Benjamin Franklin's essay in the form of a letter, An Edict by the King of Prussia, in which our First Patriot writes under the guise of the King of Prussia, publishes the hoax of a letter in the Public Advertiser in September 1773, and thereby pointedly criticizes through satire the overreach of the British government toward our American Colonies. Curiously, under Trump the word "hoax" gets quite a work-out. The Prenatal Solar Eclipse ('PE') of Franklin's hoax letter manifested on September 16, 1773 @24Virgo00 in the 10 North Saros Series (10 North themes are listed in the center of the chart, below); this was a Total Eclipse and also serves as the PE of #3 on the following list.
Transit Pluto hit 22Cap46:34 five times in 1773 and 1774:
1. March 14, 1773
2. June 4, 1773 Rx
3. January 12, 1774 - This is the stand-out chart with its same date (January 12) and the fact that its Angles and cusps are basically the same as America's yet-to-happen natal horoscope (July 4, 1776 5:09 pm LMT Philadelphia, PA). As you see, in 1774 the line-up was: Sun 22Cap21, Moon 22Cap47, Pluto 22Cap46, and Mars 24Cap41; note that this particular Pluto Pre-Return to its 2020 position (as I'm quirkily calling it!) occurred on the day of a New Moon @22Cap20 (3:45:07 am LMT--a new cycle of activity) which further emphasizes the 22 and 23 degrees of Saturn-ruled Capricorn, sign of government, law, investment, and business. Actually, Pluto's January 2020 return to its 1773/74 degrees constitutes a 'cosmic time link' with the Saturn-Pluto Conjunction of January 12, 2020. Plus, a study of the next Full Moon on January 27, 1774 @8Leo01 could yield further information on what we're facing in 2020.
Quick note: In his Encyclopedia of Astrology, Nicholas Devore gives '23 Capricorn' as a degree of governmental authority--and, 22Cap51 is the position of Trump's natal Vertex, a point of fated encounters and a potential for changing work conditions.
As for historical events of 1774, we find many stalemates and struggles between the status quo of the era's prevailing power structures and those who would grasp the freedom to wrest power and authority away for themselves. To me this sounds like an echo of Trump's and the global crime syndicate's coup of the US government and/or the attempt by the current power structure (The Establishment) to vanquish the gang of lawless usurpers and saboteurs. For now, let's say Pluto in Capricorn conjunct a governmental degree describes both sides' ongoing struggle for power and control in general. This is, it seems, a fated struggle of destiny. Different from the American Revolution--and yet somehow more similar than apathetic Americans wish to admit--they who have 'so much to lose'! Meanwhile, failing to fight for democracy is to lose.
Now the other two historical dates for Pluto @22Cap46:34 are August 28, 1774 and November 10, 1774 but as you see, the chart with the most clout for our modern-day money is #3 January 12, 1774 so here's the horoscope if you're curious:
As usual, much info is penned on the horoscope (pardon!) intended for those who care to have a look and mention must be made of the massive Earth Grand Trine of Sun, Moon, Mars, Pluto, Uranus, Saturn, Neptune, and North Node of destiny ('NN') which suggests concerns with material comforts, worldly position, value, and perhaps above all given the dangerous times both then and now, security. The Capricorn line-up in 1774 is amazingly similar to that of January 12, 2020 (just add 2020 Mercury, subtract 1774 Mars) but since this is meant to be a post not a book, I'll leave this topic with you, dear reader, in case your own comparison of Pluto activity between 1773/1774 and 2020 is worth your time.
And as always, your on-topic comments, queries, and shares are very welcome! jc
And curiously in both readings, horoscope and cards agree!
For Astrology here is a link to a reading by London astrologer Julian Venables and for Tarot here's Mary Ann of Revealing Light Tarot adding insight into hidden conditions.
For like the Republican Party in the US, Britain's Conservative Party has been in process of consuming itself in recent years, plus, the populace doesn't trust Boris, real change is needed, and the youth vote matters. So if neither party wins bigly in the UK then a coalition government may very well need to be formed by the victor no matter which party he represents (or purports to represent, typed the suspicious American!)
And so today I send out Best Wishes to the good people of Britain and my sincere hope for beneficial improvements in government on behalf of their families! jc
