Turkey hit by August 2026 Eclipse

by Jude Cowell, partisan for the common good

Today just a quick posting to display the Turkey {Republic} Horoscope of October 29, 1923 (Campion #336) with its 3rd house Neptune @20leo13 which is about to be landed upon by the 10 South Solar Eclipse of August 12, 2026 @20Leo01.

Now Neptunian spiritual matters could be on the karmic menu or in the news via contact from this "cosmic blink eclipse" but a decided cultish influence may also be in evidence along with intrigue, surveillance, and/or theft via Neptune. For as you know, there may be a tendency toward wastefulness and/or theatricality with Neptune in showy Leo.

Secrets revealed or leaked are typical when an Eclipse hits a chart - and for Turkey this Eclipse involves secretive Neptune. Meanwhile, a change of direction in some department may also be expected in the coming months due to the Uranian influence of eclipses, and this activity falls just within the country's 3rd house of Communications, Education, and Short Journeys. However, the Eclipse-Neptune energies could affect the 2nd hou$e as well due to their closeness to the country's 2nd house (in the Placidus House System). Plus with Eclipses, we must always hope that no natural disaster befalls the region, but if so, water would likely be involved:

As we see, Turkey's 1923 Neptune squares its 5th house Venus and Jupiter (both money planets) so complexity increases because this means that the August 12th 10 South Eclipse squares Venus (frigid relationships; financial and/or currency difficulties). Then the Eclipse squares Jupiter which suggests that correct moral and ethical values must be employed if karmic progress is wanted (R. Lineman). If not, karmic blocks continue or worsen.

10 South Themes: Breaking out of a very negative situation where no hope can be seen to a space with more options; a worry suddenly clears; a solution is shown by the Cosmos and must be quickly utilized for best results (paraphrasing B. Brady's Predictive Astrology #ad).

Naturally, the August 2026 Leo Eclipse also affects America (I use eclipse degrees for comparisons) and 10 South happens to be the Pre-Event Eclipse ("PE") of Midterms 2026. A cosmic blink providing a solution (or resolution) from the Cosmos would be much appreciated - and a change of direction away from fascism would be a saving grace!

Now in closing, you may be interested in yesterday's news regarding what's going on in Ankara, Turkey. And as far as I know, the news does not involve political influencer and Twitch streamer Hasan Piker, controversial fellow as he may be.

Thanks a bunch for reading! jc

George Washington at the Battle of Trenton

by Jude Cowell, partisan for the common good

Previously in a 2020 SO'W post, we discussed the Historical Horoscope of General Washington Crossing the Delaware River where he met his victorious destiny at the Battle of Trenton, a major turning point in the American Revolution, and which provided a much needed morale booster for the Continental Army.

Tonight, displayed below, is a bi-wheel of the natal horoscope of George Washington (inner) surrounded by the Battle of Trenton Horoscope set for 8:00 am LMT, the reported hour that the Continental Army began to attack. Why publish this now? Because transit Pluto currently (into 2027) conjuncts America's 1776 South Node and as we see, the same conjunction occurred at the Battle of Trenton with Pluto @27Cap21, South Node @27Cap14 - and both conjunct the natal Midheaven ("MC") of General George Washington.

In addition, the current Pluto-SN contact lands upon General Washington's natal Mercury (6AQ33) in his 10th house of Global Reputation. The word karma comes easily to mind, and this is what America now faces as transit Saturn in mid-Aries oppposes our 1776 Saturn in mid-Libra, a cosmic signal that once again, it's Reckoning Time on into 2027. And as we can see, the Battle's Uranus in Gemini was in process of opposing Washington's natal Uranus which times the General's midlife crisis!

Now obviously, the transformative Plutonian pile-up shown below indicates war that endangered personal security for the populace and for the combatants risking their lives. And as we know, the stakes were extremely high then, as they are once again with transit Pluto conjunct our 1776 South Node, plus the Saturn-oppo-Saturn transit in play. And that's only two of the prominent planetary transits affecting America's planets at this time.

So I hope you'll enlarge and read the astro-notes marked on the image, if you wish; it's true that they're only partial notes but may provide impetus for a curious reader such as yourself to set up Historical Horoscopes of her/his own:
