Midterms 2022 Planets to US Congress Horoscope

US Congress' Transits: November 2022 into Early 2023

by Jude Cowell

Below is a simple display showing a bi-wheel of the US Congress Horoscope of 1789 (inner) and the Midterms 2022 Lunar Eclipse Chart (outer). As you see, there are two significant planetary contacts on Election Day 2022: from 2022 Saturn in Aquarius and 2022 Neptune in Pisces.

Also of note is transit Mars Rx perigee in Gemini recently stirring up 1789 Moon and Chiron as he will again by the end of 2022 with Mars to Moon suggesting a very busy, even hasty time, when anger easily flares, plus, Mars to Chiron has 'sacred warrior' implications which contain forceful energies tinged with a measure of righteousness.

Also notable is that recently, transit Neptune hit 1789 Saturn (@13Pis38; strange, misguided notions) and Sun (@14Pis33; unrealistic ideas, impractical goals), and 2022 Saturn has also hit 1789 Venus and will do so again into January 2023 (@22AQ04; serious conditions; lack of humor; relationship issues or endings) before moving over the 11:00 am Midheaven of 1789 when Saturnian responsibility and acountability arrive, and rewards are meted out to the deserving few who have honored Saturn's demands. However, casting blame on others for one's mistakes simply will not do, neither will dishonesty.

Then with 1789 Mars (@29AQ04, a critical 29th degree) awaiting a visit from transit Saturn (once on February 27, 2023), we may expect a head-against-brick-wall atmosphere for some members of Congress while those with great determination will have enough oomph to remove obstacles in their paths to success:

Please refer to the image for penned-on potentials for the two transits: Saturn to Pluto and Neptune to Mercury, then bestir thyself to think of more possibilities!

Nov 2022: Are gridlock government and shutdowns on the way?

Blurred: Will It Be the Tyranny of One-Party Rule?

by Jude Cowell

Besides blurring political prospects for the 2024 election, one of the more basic results from last evening's Midterms 2022 Elections is certain to be an increase of gridlock government where the needs of the American people are even less addressed than before. Yesterday's Total Lunar Eclipse (a red 'blood moon') in Taurus did sport radical Uranus conjunct the Moon, after all, so anti-social voters and unexpected happenings were and are in play.

Meanwhile, control of the House and Senate hang in the balance as I type with Republicans promising to finagle more government shutdowns if they should take control of Congress in order to force cuts in our social safety net programs, eventually destroy them, and thereby cause misery of the masses (one of their specialities). This really would be a radical change of course with Uranian flair, and control of Congress may come down to a run-off in my home state of Georgia which would be held on December 6th, last I heard.

Yet today it seems significant that no 'red wave' of the 'blood moon' has occurred but neither did a Blue one, more's the pity for democracy and the Biden administration. Even so, we can still say that outcomes could've been worse - and happily, some of Tr*mp's favored candidates lost their races so the orange blighter is weaker today than he was yesterday - and 2024 hopeful Ron DeSantis has retained his grasp on Florida!

Now ordinarily in America, gridlock in Congress, where few if any legislation can be agreed upon by both parties, is considered a good thing for our federal government because the Founders wanted power to challenge power along with our traditional checks'n'balances (Jupiter-Saturn). Not that maga Republicans respect American traditions - because our traditions such as the peaceful transfer of power get in the way of their plan for one-party tyranny.

Such stalemates should work as protections for the American people, erecting a wall against tyranny yet it's difficult to retain faith in the gridlock-is-good concept when election liars and deniers and their favorite insurrectionist politicians of sedition who don't 'believe' in governing, are tilting our politics and our lives toward a fascist style of government and hurling the US toward totalitarianism with Nazi implications.

Still, for a while at least, I rejoice today because last evening the US Congress failed to gain a huge amount of weight when maga candidate and snake oil pitchman Mehmet Oz lost to John Fetterman in Pennsylvania - and to this I say a hearty hip hip hooray!

The Solar Eclipse that influences all US Presidential Elections

George Washington by John Trumbull, Public domain, via Wikimedia Commons

by Jude Cowell, A Child of the Revolution

As you know, January 7, 1789 is the date that Congress required states to choose their electors for our country's first-ever presidential election. A month later on February 4th, George Washington was chosen by said state electors, then sworn into office on April 30, 1789 in New York City.

Of interest may be the Solar Eclipse Horoscope of the eclipse from the Saros Series in which these significant events occurred and were influenced by - the 7 North of November 27, 1788 @6Sag15, horoscope shown below.

Consequently, on that November day in 1788, fixed star Antares, a headstrong warrior star which can bestow honor (aka, The Watcher of the West) was 'eclipsed' which strengthens both the eclipse and the star. The eclipse degree's rounded-up Sabian Symbol of '7 Sagittarius' = "Cupid Knocking At the Door"; keyword: ALLUREMENT, which positively speaks of "enlarged experience," and negatively indicates: "self-exaltation and unbridled desire." Disagree if you wish, but to me this relates to America's vast appetite for such endeavors as territorial conquest and expansion, pursuing extreme wealth, plus, other indications of imperialism.

And with asteroid Cupido conjunct the Goal Point of the eclipse chart ('MC'), corporatism is on the agenda of our founding plutocrats (corporatism is what brought us to this continent, after all). Yet with corporate charters no longer expiring as they did in olden days, perhaps we can agree that the appetite of America's style of predatory corporatism has gotten completely out of control through the centuries like a parasite consuming its host. In fact, the much touted American consumerism has created a wealthy elite class but for the 99%, the Plutocratic path of exploitation of the masses has led We the People to a quagmire of loss and the tragic realization that what we're left with is an empty, so-called "American dream." Plutocrats made their fortunes off our backs, but now they're done with us like the corporatists in a badly written Ayn Rand novel.

Besides, they have better places to be than a hollowed out America - and fancy rocket ships to ride on!

So below is the 7 North Horoscope of November 27, 1788 which on a sublimal level, influences all US presidential elections, plus, a partial list of other instances of 7 North Eclipses is penned on: the initial 7 North of October 2/3, 1103 @15Lib29 (conjunct US 1776 Saturn), the 'Fascism Rising' Eclipse of February 24, 1933 @5Pisces28 (conjunct 1788 Saturn @4Pis34, 12th house), and the upcoming 7 North Eclipse arriving on April 20, 2023 @30Aries (Herr Adolf's "birthday eclipse" of 2023: a forewarning):

So am I attempting to implicate George Washington as a vintage version of a fascist or a Nazi from way back? Certainly not. But the repetition of 7 North Solar Eclipse themes of "very deep, long-hidden passion that takes people by surprise" and "lust" - to which I must add "blood lust" because of current actions and threats by thugs and barbarians of the Republican-Tr*mp Party - suggests that there are other ways to express 7 North themes, collectively or personally, than simply using primal violence against one's fellow citizens. For as with everything on Earth, motivation is the guiding factor for actions taken, and during our country's Revolutionary era, the presence of warmongering Antares conjunct the 7 North solar eclipse made sense for the purposes of gaining independence from Britain and establishing self-governance, a beacon of hope for the entire world.

But these days, their negative motivations turn seditious acts against the American people and the US government into treason committed by power-hungry hooligans with anti-societal intentions and overlaid with forms of fake "Christianity" that 'enjoys' a death cult mentality in which "blood lust" has gained an obsessive hold. And strangely enough, their deluded version of reality is a nightmarish dream for the rest of humanity.

And for the curious, here's a link to the horoscope of George Washington's Inauguration of 1789.

Taurus Midterm Eclipses 2022 and 1938!

Dual Horoscopes: 1938 Midterms Taurus Lunar Eclipse Conjunct Uranus (upper right) and 2022 Midterms Taurus Lunar Eclipse Conjunct Uranus in (lower left) set for Washington DC; both eclipses are Total

by Jude Cowell

History Rhymes with Similar Yet Possibly Different Conditions and Outcomes. Midterms 2022 is society's opportunity to deal more effectively with social events such as elections for House and Senate that will determine our country's future direction toward a civilized society or a barbaric one. Once again, America's social safety net is in jeopardy from a greedy wealthy elite class with austerity for the masses and major thievery on their agenda. How will you vote this time around?

As you see, similar conditions existed during our 1938 Midterm Elections with FDR in the White House and H*tler in Germany - as well as for our Midterms 2022 in a couple of days (November 8, 2022). Both elections carry cosmic signatures of Moon-Uranus (emotional tension; mood changes; anti-societal people) conjunct the karmic Nodal Axis - in 1938 Moon-Uranus conjunct South Node ('the tail of the dragon') while in 2022 the pair conjoins North Node, a Jupiterian influence. You'll note the bottom of the chart with Saturn @18AQ48 in 4th house of Endings - in humanitarian Aquarius - for the karmic planet of responsibility, accountability, and legalities looks ready to limit Republican gains in 2022, although naturally, much frustration and rebelliousness will result. Obviously, recounts and worse may occur, just as everyone expects.

Even so, significant for democracy which is "on the ballot" this year, the asteroid of democracy, Ceres, is retrograde ('Rx') in 1938 (large gains in House and Senate by Republicans who were anti-FDR policies and still are) with 1938 Ceres conjunct the separative, disruptive Uranus-SN conjunction (see middle right side of the chart for Uran-SN highlighted in green), while in 2022 the situation is differently poised with Ceres moving Direct @16Vir27 ('17Virgo' = "A Volcano in Eruption" - Vote Blue!). You may also wish to see lower right for 2022's voting Mercury conjunct South Node denoting "ideas behind (fascism; dictatorship) or ahead of their time (progressive policies), and/or support for ideas is hard to find." Old timey fascism or nazism? Or karmic progress?

And so I shall depend on 2022's Sun-Mercury conjunction and the 'common sense' it supplies to make the rational choice for democracy and thereby safeguard the future of America for our children by rejecting the barbaric death cult knocking once again on America's door. So one more time for America I say:

Vote Blue for democracy, Vote Blue to Save America.

Nov 8, 2022: Biden-Trump Progressions

Midterms 2022? Meet Two Progressed Horoscopes

by Jude Cowell

Today my Friday post shows a dual image of President Biden's Secondary Progressed Horoscope (upper right; 'SP') and Trump's ('SP') Horoscope (lower left) with both charts set for natal locations (Scranton PA and Queens NY) on November 8, 2022. Emphasized are the planetary factors that stand out to yours truly but you will undoubtedly discover other significant factors for yourself.

Then, if you read my study notes penned upon the image, differences between the two men will surface for your consideration such as karmic Saturn, planet of authority, responsibility, maturity, soberness, and accountability in a starring role with reformist Uranus, and with Pluto, planet of power, wealth, and stealth. All three planets play major roles when it comes to leadership style and the exercising of power or its abuse. And of course, transformation is part of the Plutonian picture as well - especially in 2022 with America's first-ever Pluto Return/s ongoing.

Planet Saturn in a Leader's Horoscope and Psyche

President Biden's Saturn remains in Mercury-ruled Gemini when progressed suggesting a measure of adaptable stability, while Trump's Saturn, natally in Moon-ruled Cancer, has progressed into Sun-ruled Leo suggesting rigidity and pomposity. In quicksilver Gemini, Saturn suggests conscientiousness, logical thinking, studiousness, and a tendency to become preoccupied with difficult problems (like presidents must do). However, wall-builder Saturn tends toward neurosis when in emotional, self-protective Cancer, but when progressed into proud Leo, we find Trump's egotism, dislike of formalities, and deep need for power, control, recognition, applause, and importance.

Additionally, we know that restrictive Saturn can add fear and/or paranoia to most any equation, as well as a sense of loss when Saturn's demands for upright behavior and maturity are not met. Obviously, an individual's Saturn Return Horoscope provides information concerning such issues.

Two factors stand out in particular in each SP chart

For Mr. Biden, it's his SP Uranus Stationed Direct and unaspected so there's a strong emphasis on the planet, plus the suggestion that he's independent and thus not overly influenced by external forces, energies, or actors. (His aviator shades and fast cars might suggest a cool independent streak.)

For Mr. Trump, it's his SP Ascendant @1Sco27 which has received the current 6 South Solar Eclipse of October 25, 2022 conjunct it with themes of 'forcfully taking control' (B. Brady), which is what he's determined and very desperate to do, no matter the cost.

So beneath the symbolic progressed horoscopes (which provide hints as to how one has evolved during their lives), brief notes concerning both men's Sun-Moon blends (which are temporary until SP Moon enters the next Zodiacal sign) are added via The Harveys; then in closing, potentials contained within their SP midpoint pictures are listed for the sake of comparison via Reinhold Ebertin and Noel Tyl:

President Joe Biden: SP Sun Aquarius-Moon Aries (Air-Fire) = self and society; the brotherhood of man is a reality; sound intellect; frankness; disdain for hypocrisy; talkative; an observer of humanity; pokes fun at absurdities; loves challenges; a social reformer or eccentric ambassador; prefers practical answers that cut through bureaucracies and red tape; can be arrogant, cool, and detached. "Image for Integration: Robin Hood and his merry band of men outwit the evil King John once again."

Donald Trump: SP Sun Virgo-Moon Libra (Earth-Air) = pragmatism; lives in a private world; a gift for words; an eye for detail; organized; consults others but pushes through with own ideas; delights in paradox; lives according to a personal code; yearns for the day when others see things "his way"; fussy insistence on getting things a particular way; can be tactful and approachable; ability to cooperate for a common cause. "Image for Integration: "A monastic husband." (Sun Sign-Moon Sign, Charles and Suzi Harvey #ad).

SP Midpt Pix (11/08/22): any, all, or none may apply

President Biden: stress in the profession (Sun-Neptune = MC); pressure to regroup forces and plan anew; constraint; grave inhibitions (Moon-Pluto = Saturn); desire for pleasant contacts with many people (Jupiter-North Node = Pluto); placing false hopes on associations; dealing with others naively or simplistically (Jup-Nept = North Node).

Donald Trump: desire to rise from difficult circumstances; major separation (Saturn-Pluto = MC); grappling with unusual problems; brooding over one's destiny (Mercury-Saturn = Pluto); having a bad influence upon others; breakdown between people living together (Nept-NN = Pluto); giving stimulating ideas to others (Venus-Uranus = Mercury); chaotic emotional life; easily led by others; a dreamy nature (Venus-Neptune = Moon); arranging associations or unions (Jup-NN = Merc: or an army? jc); contemplating loss; fearing wipe-out; abandonment (Merc-Saturn = Pluto).

A Republican Revolution and Violence 2022

When the 104th Congress opened on January 3, 1995, Republican Newt Gingrich took the gavel as Speaker of the House in what can be called the Republican Revolution of 1994. With a major sense of frustration, 40 years of Democratic supremacy had to be vanquished by Republicans chaffing at the bit to be the Big Boss of Washington, just as they chafe now.

An excellent overview of events that led up to the Republican take-over and their "Contract On America" (as President Clinton had called it - so do I), plus, more Neptunian intrigue, are now available via Steve Kornacki's 6-episode podcast, The Revolution (MSNBC). How did the bitterness in Washington begin? With power-craving Republican operative Newt Gingrich using his Pied Piper ability which is shared by Donald Tr*mp via their Sun Gemini-Moon Sagittarius personality blends.

So for readers who speak any amount of astrologese, it may be revealing to compare the party's 1854 horoscope (Sun = Aries Point; the revolutionary duo, Uranus-Pluto conjunct in Taurus) with a chart of Election Night 1994 (November 8; "8:00 pm" with Moon @1AQ15 conjunct bold Altair, the eagle), what I'm labeling the 'Republican Revolution 1994' horoscope for the purposes of this comparison.

Horoscopes: Republican Party 1854 with Republican Revolution 1994 ("8:00 pm" est puts 1854 Neptune at Midheaven, the Goal Point along with star of crisis, Achernar)

Yes, an abundance of study notes are squooshed upon the charts; please enlarge or print the image for better viewing, if needed. Alternately, why not set up the charts for yourself and have it your way?

For a Thom Hartmann video segment on this topic from 2016, see Who Started the Destruction of Public Trust? (a sprinkling of Astrology included).

It seems antiquainted now, but Gingrich's With America" spouted three core principles: Accountability, Responsibility, and Opportunity! So in view of the Republican Party's attempts to dodge the first two "principles," this would be laughable if it weren't so tragic for our democratic Republic under siege worse than ever before by a fas*ist-naz*-sympathizing GOP working in league with a global authoritarian movement - a worldwide criminal network - ours led by dictator wanna-be Donald Tr*mp, the orange menace, or as some have called him, the Mango Mussolini.
