DC Horoscopes: 118th Congress January 2023

Now that it's known that the House has been commandeered by Republicans through whatever means they could finagle (exs: gerrymandering districts in red states, voter suppression tactics) and that Democrats have kept control of the Senate, here again is a dual image of both the 9:00 am and 12:00 pm est horoscopes set for the traditional opening day of the US Congress, January 3, 2023; exact hour of the gaveling-in as yet undetermined:

Lessons From A World War II Scandal That Put The Justice Department To The Test - clip

Last evening, MSNBC's Rachel Maddow spotlighted the compelling connection between the DOJ's 1940s prosecution of the era's Nazis in America and the difficulties now faced by AG Merrick Garland's DOJ and his appointed Special Counsel Jack Smith's investigation along similar lines today, lines that one again include US congress members.

In the following segement, Rachel interviews one of the historians who contributed to her excellent Ultra podcast, Bradley W. Hart, whose book, Hitler's American Friends, proved "indispensible" to Maddow and her staff as they researched these unsettling events from America's past - events now haunting our democracy again:

Here's a link to the video segment in case it's removed from SO'W.

Nov-Dec 2022 New and Full Moons in DC

by Jude Cowell

Besides the ongoing generational transits of our US Pluto Return, all through 2022, and transit Neptune in shady Pisces opposing US 1776 Neptune in factual Virgo, below you see the DC Horoscopes of the November 23, 2022 New Moon @1Sag38 (lower left) timing a new cycle of activity and the seeding of plans, along with the December 7, 2022 Full Moon @16Gem07 of response, culmination, fulfillment, and awareness conjunct 'testy' Mars Rx, perigee, and out-of-bounds ('OOBs') of the earthly plane, as are Moon, Mercury, and Venus:

The nearness of activist Mars in unstable Gemini to the December 7th Full Moon adds a decided urge to bring plans to fruition but can also increase tendencies toward quarrels and intolerance (see upper right corner). And it's worth noting that any New Moon may behave in similar Uranian fashion to a solar eclipse (revelations, disruption and/or a change of direction) and here, with money planet Jupiter ruling or dispositing the New Moon, the condition of New Moon Jupiter @28Pis47 is made more prominent because the Great Benefic is at Retrograde ('Rx') Station and in process of turning Direct in 5 minutes 01 second @28Pis47:54 with the critical degree of 29Gem59 rising in Washington DC and very near the Cardinal Point (00Cancer00) of World Events.

Radical Uranus in Taurus: More Trouble in 2024

When 1940 Uranus Returns to 26Taurus in 2024-2025

by Jude Cowell

These days, most people would agree that Donald Tr*mp is nothing if not a furiously enraged, malevolent schemer (aka, our orange albatross, as I term him). And perhaps a dear reader or two may remember Trump's 'Furious Storm' Eclipse of January 5, 2019 in the 2 South Saros Series when a variety of folks were inspired to join unusual groups because they would "gain a great deal" from it (B. Brady). The delusional 'QAnon' is certainly one of said 'groups' although the pay-off from joining the off-kilter movement seems dubious at best since its campaign to undermine America and democracy continues apace and, if successful, its gullible members wouldn't fare any better under such a draconian boot than the rest of us.

Yet the so-called 'QAnon' used in the US is only one facet of a fascist-nazi movement of global proportions which has once again reared its barbaric head after decades of fermenting underground with the eventual intention of taking over the US government and destroying democracy - I believe in time for Election 2024, then catapulting its barbarism and theft toward Inauguration 2025 (if the January 20th ceremony can even be called a "presidential inauguration" via a traditional "peaceful transfer of power"). We might wonder what kind of "Oath of Office" would it be? Or, if successfully taken, will the crass authoritarian movement masquerade itself while continuing to rob us blind? I cannot pretend to know but I do know that, as in the 1940s, anti-societal authoritarianism must be stopped. Again.

Eclipses: Uranian 'Cosmic Blinks' and 'Wild Cards'

Now there've been multiple cosmic signals blinking furiously on the road to Fascism in America and many signals have been noted here on SO'W, perhaps most prominently via the repetitions in our era of the Fascism Rising Eclipse (its series to repeat in 2023) and the Nazis Rise to Power Eclipse, its series repeating right now, and cycling up conditions that have made it easier for the lamentable GOP take-over of the House through the use of its primary theme of 'forcefully taking power' (B. Brady). In fact, the forceful gerrymandering of districts in red states has much if not everything to do with their long-planned 'success' at Midterms 2022. And it was a compromised SCOTUS that allowed partisan gerrymandering.

However, if you've followed the Rachel Maddow Presents Ultra podcast, which just dropped its final episode today (#8 of 8), you've been filled in concerning German fascists working in the US in the 1930s into 1940s, with episode one opening with the mildly labeled Trip 19 Plane Crash (horoscope shown) which killed (assassinated) Nazi sympathizer-agent, Republican Senator Ernest Lundeen on August 31, 1940, plus, other officials, passengers, and crew unfortunate to be on the flight.

Of cosmic significance to America now is the position of the planet of zealous anarchy and coup attempts, Uranus - on August 31, 1940 @26Tau08:49 - conjunct and therefore intensifying the vicious, malevolent star of fury and rage, Algol - and soon returning to its 1940 position in what I consider to be a horoscope describing an event of sabotage.

Therefore, below is a Horoscope of the second of three Uranus Return/s to this degree (@27Cancer = "A Furious Storm Rages Through a Residential Canyon"; ex: Trump's 'Furious Storm' Eclipse, as noted, above), displayed here because the Return of 1940 Uranus occurs on October 25, 2024 just prior to Election 2024 to be held November 5th ('coincidentally' the infamous anniversary date of Britain's anti-government Gunpowder Plot of 1605, as you know).

Uranus Return #2 October 24, 2024 @26Tau08:49 conjunct Algol (#1 and 3 listed on the chart):

Please enlarge or print the chart to read my study notes if you wish; there are many other factors worth mentioning but since this is a post, not an e-book, I shall leave them for you to discover and comment upon, as you may.

Shout-Out: President Biden and Herr Trump

A Hidden Factor Revealed is Tr*mp's natal Mars-Ascendant @26-30Leo (conjunct kingly Regulus) completing a YOD pattern of crisis with the Neptune-Pluto sextile forming its base. And as you know, the Neptune-Pluto pairing can represent several potentials of a spiritual nature, but also signifies the criminal underworld for which Tr*mp acts as figurehead in the US.

Additionally, we should note that their sextile also involves Joe Biden for, as it happens, President Biden's natal Scorpio Sun and Venus rise in the chart with 2024 Neptune trining them which suggests potentials for doors to easily open, spirituality to be promoted, and sources of his success and good fortune to be mysterious or difficult to identify; Neptune trine his Venus indicates cooperation in his endeavors. However, rising in this particular horoscope in relation to the Uranus Return to the planet's 1940 position in an assassination chart, and considering the aid from transit Neptune, Mr. Biden's tendency to see only the ideal in people and situations can cause troubles and reversals that democracy can ill afford. If he experiences a lack of clarity concerning these issues, or falls under the spell of a tragic deception or illusion, America will have to face the authoritarian peril without strong enough leadership from the White House. Therefore, others must step up more firmly than ever.

Also notable is that activist Mars @26Can23 conjuncts Biden's natal Jupiter Rx (25Can08) so the Democratic president's part in events is expansive and can activate improvements during the current fascist vs democracy power struggle which is starkly shown by transit Pluto opposing Biden's natal Jupiter for some time now.

So in closing - and believe me when I type that it pains me as an American with Revolutionary ancestors to feel compelled to mention this - the current 6 South Eclipse which manifested on October 25, 2022 @2Scorpio in the 'Nazis Rise to Power' series is a repetition of the very first of three Great American Eclipses from way back in 1878 with #3 arriving in April 2024. So please check out the 1878 eclipse horoscope, if you will, and know that the deadly seriousness of these cosmic and earthly events and threats against democracy are obvious warning signals that no American should ignore, and that such malevolent forces have been stirring for centuries with an evil determination that few folks in our day can easily believe.

Deja-Vu: Trump's Prez Bid for 2024

Transit Mars in Gemini Spurs Another Prez Bid (ad nauseum) for Tr*mp

by Jude Cowell

Perhaps you've read The Daily Beast's article, The Devious Reason Donald Trump Announced His 2024 Run Now. As Astrology makes plain, timing is everything and Herr T is attempting to be strategic as he often does, spurred by a constant quest for wealth, and with a desperate desire not to die in prison.

So my primary points with this morning's post are:

1. transit Mars Rx, hot and perigee in Mercury-ruled Gemini is aggravating the orange albatross' 10th house trio (Uranus-NN-Sun) while opposing his natal Sagittarian Moon conjunct South Node (enraged and motivated by a desire to exact vengeance on his enemies = most of humanity) so unforced mistakes will be made. One such is that his support is not as bolstering as he thinks it is.

2. His prez bid announcement for 2024 on the evening of November 15, 2022 (a diversion from the Mike Pence book launch earlier that day) shows Mars almost exactly conjunct the testy planet's position in the 2015 New Moon prez bid announcement horoscope when the dictator-wanne-be made his escalator descent to speak before a paid audience and tout his racist intentions. Basically, his 2024 bid is a Mars Return which he hopes will kickstart America into another descent into the death cult fantasy world of a very sick man looking for life-saving escape hatches.

But for today, let's look ahead, not behind, for a view of the predictive New Moon Prior to Election 2024 @9Sco35. This lunar synchronicity should function as a heads-up for pro-democracy voters because, even if Tr*mp himself isn't running in the 2024 race, the Election 2024 Scorpio Moon amounts to a Moon Return (his voters) to the Inauguration 2017 Horoscope - and that's the deja-vu that Herr T so desperately wants to replay in order to further his quest for gold, renown, and vengeance.

So have a look: for as always, your on-topic comments and insights are much appreciated!

President Biden: Solar Return 2022 Horoscope

November 16, 2022

by Jude Cowell

Earlier this week we looked at the current Jupiter Return Horoscope of President Biden with his Jupiter Rx exalted in Cancer, a chart that's 'good for' approximately 12 years.

Now, with the President's 80th birthday arriving in a few days, here's a view of Joe Biden's Solar Return 2022 Horoscope set for the White House, and with a few study notes penned on; this chart is 'good for' a year until his next birthday in November 2023. Here, his 2022 SR Moon is posited in cooperative, diplomatic, harmonious Libra, and his Solar Return ('SR') Sun is in the 6th house of Work, Service, Daily Rounds, and Health. Meanwhile, SR 2022 Ceres, asteroid of democracy, sits atop Mr. Biden's natal Midheaven ('MC'), the Goal Point.

Then as you see, rising is Mr. Biden's natal 7th house of Partnerships and Alliances along with his Saturn-Uranus conjuntion in Gemini, a tense, persevering, and sometimes violent duo (see center of the chart for a few notes). When ascending, the Saturn-Uranus pair indicates difficult circumstances, yet for President Biden (Sun), we also see a bracing trio involving his Sun which is notated at the top of the chart and makes clear his power and success.

Besides this, US 1776 Uranus (@8Gemini) rises which often relates to being able to cope with unexpected events and conditions; Mercury is chart-ruler and makes only one applying aspect which is notated, lower left.

In addition, we find transiting North Node ('NN') with its joining energies pointing toward US Inaugural Ascendant in mid-Taurus (Oath of Office Jan 20th 12:00 pm est) and suggesting Mr. Biden's singular and beneficial accomplishments during his first term. In fact, the phrase 'outstanding in his field' comes to mind!

So, yes, difficulties lie ahead for President Biden during his personal year, but hopefully his 2022--2023 trip around the Sun will also bring satisfaction and successful efforts on behalf of America!

Printable: Joe Biden's Jupiter Return

His Jupiter in Cancer Exalted and Mothering the World

by Jude Cowell

With nary a study note penned upon it, below is President Joe Biden's current Jupiter Return Horoscope set for June 24, 2014 and operative until his next Jupiter Return (actually a three-fer return in 2025 and 2026) in Jupiter's 11.6-year cycle of reward and expansion.

This is a printable copy which includes the Return's aspect grid where we see that Mr. Biden's Jupiter is at the bends and thus denotes issues that must be dealt with with (square the Nodal Axis in the Aries-Libra polarity: karma between family vs external relationships/the public; his Catholic religion is also involved). Then as you see, Jupiter is posited in Return 5th house of Risk-Taking, Creative Pursuits, and Children, and receives a sextile of opportunity from the Taurus Moon (Biden's natal Moon = 00Tau59 in natal 5th house - conjunct Herr Adolf's natal Sun so Joe instinctively understands what were the Austrian dictator's possessive, intolerant, materialistic Taurean goals).

Additionally, Mr. Biden's Jupiter inconjuncts Return Midheaven @23Sag21 suggesting that career adjustments have been needed by Mr. Biden in order to attain his Jupiterian goals of political leadership. Perhaps this represents on one level his rise from VP to POTUS which may have been his goal all along! Then if we use the Return Midheaven as a point where Moon-Jupiter's sextile energies ('a ray of hope' - A. Oken) can be beneficially released and utilized, a YOD pattern appears, and women's issues (Moon-Jupiter) become part of our political, social, and religious dialogues and must be dealt with, as noted, in the visible 10th house. This fortuitous cosmic condition of the sextile has helped Jupiterian Joe Biden to triumph over Herr T's 'Big Lie', a negative Mercury-Neptune square condition of misguided perception, falsehood, fraud, and fantasy-spinning.

YOD Pattern of Crisis and Opportunity

Moon sextile Jupiter points toward Return Midheaven and shines a cosmic spotlight upon the karmic December 14, 2020 4 South Eclipse @23Sag08. As it turned out, 4 South's vibes of discontent and the 'desire to end relationships' hasn't only been on the side of the brutal Tr*mpians, but also describes the December 14, 2020 electors doing what the rest of us wanted: voting Joe Biden into the White House.

Because, as you see in the Return 2014 chart, President Biden's Jupiter Return Midheaven @23Sag21 was conjoined by the Electoral College Vote Eclipse of December 14, 2020 in the discontented 4 South Saros Series - on the day that the Electoral College Vote elected Mr. Biden, and the one that Tr*mp and his comrades (what's left of them in late 2022) can't stop squawling and grousing over how 'rigged' and 'stolen' the 2020 Election was. My guess: Herr T must be the mouthiest sore loser in the world.

Well, if Election 2020 was stolen, this common-good Southerner admits to being heartily thankful that modern day fascists and neo-nazis have received gracious helpings of comeuppance for the sake of democracy - at the recent Midterms 2022 Elections and in November 2020!

Yet we know that it's not the time to abandon our pro-democracy efforts since barbarian coup plotters certainly aren't done causing trouble, division, upheaval, violence, and strife in our country. For example see The Dangerous Eclipses of 2023.

Joe Biden, Democracy, and the Democratic Party

As for our Democratic President Joe Biden's Jupiter in Cancer 'Mothering the World', this resonates closely with democracy's protective and nurturing functions, and with the asteroid that signifies democracy: Ceres - which also represents the mother archetype! Obviously, contrasts may be made with the Republican Party's tendency toward strong-armed paternalism and misogyny against women but such musings are beyond the scope of this post.

So! If, dear reader, you print out the above chart, or set up one of your own, the horoscope will prove handy for following planetary transits (including eclipes) to its planets and Angles as cosmic timers for events - especially transits to the Angles - for they will affect the Jupiterian hopes and goals of President Joe Biden, and, through his presidency, will positively or negatively affect America and the American people.

Thanks a bunch for reading and share if you dare! Jude
