Natalie Harp born 1990 or 1991?

by Jude Cowell, partisan for the common good

Natalie Harp Tr*mp's "human printer"

On the Wikipedia page of Natalie Harp we find not one but two possible years of birth: 1990 or 1991. The date that stands out is August 8, 1991, however, the uncertainty makes honing in on the correct Solar Eclipse Saros Series of influence for Tr*mp's blonde lady of the moment something of a guessing game.

Therefore, two Eclipses are mentioned in this post based on "August 8th" of both years, and since her birth location is given as San Diego County, CA I'll use the city of San Diego to set up 1990 and 1991 natal charts for you, 12:00 pm pdt. Be advised that it's all very speculative!

If born August 8, 1990, Harp's Prenatal Eclipse ("PE") is in the 10 South Saros Series @29Can03 (30 Cancer: "Daughter of the American Revolution"). As you know, a 10 South has recently repeated @20Leo01 on August 12, 2026 with its theme of "breaking out of a very negative situation where no hope can be seen to a space with more options" (B. Brady). If 10S is her correct PE, perhaps we'll see in the coming months this theme appear in relation to Natalie Harp and her 80-year-old crush who may turn out not to be who she thinks he is.

Meanwhile, if born August 8, 1991, her PE is in the 11 South Saros Series @18Can58 (19 Cancer: "A Priest Performing a Marriage Ceremony") with its themes of "old ideas/methods fail, reforms are needed; any blocks may be tragically or violently removed" (B. Brady). The last 11S Eclipse occurred in 2009; the next arrives soon on August 2, 2027 @9Leo55 (conjunct Tr*mp's 12th house midpoint picture of fury, death and destruction: Pluto = Mars-Saturn).

So if 11S is her PE, who knows what changes or removals might occur in 2027.

Please Note: Eclipse themes are paraphrased from Brady's Predictive Astrology #ad.

To close, here's some recent news about Ms. Harp having a new nickname if you're interested (MSN).

Leo Eclipses: 2026 and 2045

by Jude Cowell, partisan for the common good

Today you see a dual image of two Solar Eclipses which land on the same date and degree (19 years apart) but in different families: lower left is the one that manifested today, August 12, 2026 in the 10 South Saros Series @20Leo01: upper right is the 11 South Eclipse @20Leo25 which will perfect on August 12, 2045.

Such cosmic synchronicity isn't unusual, of course, but today's 10 South inspired me to look ahead for an Eclipse that repeats at the same degree. Obviously, karma is involved as with all eclipses - cosmic blinks from Above - since they are often labeled wild cards of the Universe for their Uranian quality that can change or interrupt the course of activity on planet Earth. A solar Leo lens is useful for viewing the influences of both eclipses (see Leo notes, below) yet we should consider a blending of 10 South and 11 South themes.

Themes for each eclipse are penned on the image as is the "21 Leo" Sabian Symbol's negative (unconscious/shadow side) expression, compliments of Dr. Marc Edmund Jones' The Sabian Symbols in Astrology #ad. Then below the image I'll type a few notes about Solar Eclipses in the Sun-Ruled royal sign of Leo:

A Solar Eclipse in Leo spotlights a need to exercise leadership and authority in the karmic situations of the moment. Strong resolve is needed in order to correct conditions and past mistakes, and a half-hearted approach won't improve matters if karmic progress is wanted. Confidence is a must yet a self-centered egocentric approach is not the way to deal with issues for best results. Plus, negative Leonine traits such as pride, vainglory, pomposity,, ostentatiousness, overdramatization, and a me-first attitude are major obstacles to growth, finding solutions, and making progress.

At its foundation, paternal relationships are a karmic factor with a Leo Eclipse. Positive activities in relation to royal Leo include supporting the welfare of children through child development programs and anti-child abuse movements - both of which the world is direly in need of along with the higher levels of ethics and morality that must go with them (source includes R. Lineman). And jc

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:

12N Eclipse of 2028 and Pluto hit our 1776 South Node

by Jude Cowell, partisan for the common good

First, here's a list for you of the -

Solar and Lunar Eclipses 2026 - 2028:

As we see, the 12 North ("12N") Solar Eclipse of January 26, 2028 is listed as Annular with a duration of 10M 27S so it's a long one. Manifesting @6AQ11:01, this repetition of a 12N eclipse lands upon America's 1776 South Node along with transit Pluto. With the Nodal Axis always a karmic or fated indicator, there are chickens come home to roost/reap what was sown flavors to the proceedings from late 2027 into 2028.

Add the presence of transformative Pluto, another karmic indicator, and we have Eclipse-Sun, Eclipse-Moon, and Eclipse-Pluto signatures; plus, the South Node connection is a cosmic time link that points toward America's Revolutionary era and our nation's founding - all topics on the table in recent years as social and political matters must now reach culmination in one way or another.

Yet also suggested by the Eclipse-Pluto-SN trio are obstacles to, and limitations of, the power potential, sparse or lost resources, a lack of cooperation from others (via the Saturnian South Node's separative quality), and a feeling of being alone against the world. Perhaps you've noticed that the current regime has been instrumental in setting up such conditions for the US and for the American people.

Eclipse-Sun: solar goals and affairs unify primarily within the house involved (11th) via the themes of the Eclipse (listed, below);

Eclipse-Moon: the populace obtains deeper understanding of the past and its influence upon present events via experience combined with intuitive or psychic ability; emotional intelligence can play a part in knowing what must be done for karmic progress to be made; others express a skeptical attitude, ignoring intuition and repeating past mistakes; this leads to further karmic setbacks or newly formed karmic impasses.

Eclipse-Pluto: a power indicator signaling that groups of people and the masses are involved; positive responses increase the power of a charismatic leader who will generate karmic progress; negative responses include a variety of criminal offenses such as war and gang war, rape, and other predatory actions against humanity (R. Lineman). Naturally, with intense Pluto in the picture, there are elements of manipulation, control, and obsession involved, along with spies and assa*sins.

Even so, the conjunction of Pluto and South Node denotes self-reliance and an innate resourcefulness that inspire survival under hardships. So don't despair or give up, no matter what!

12 North themes: Opportunities suddenly arrive for accepting greater responsibilities due to another individual being unable to carry on; initially, events are difficult but results can be positive (paraphrasing B. Brady). 12N Eclipses have occurred in the years 1901, 1919, 1937 (Dec 2 @10Sag), 1955, 1973, 1992, 2010, (2028). Next will be 2046 @17AQ+. (paraphrasing Predictive Astrology, B. Brady #ad)

Then for readers who wish more details concerning the 2028 12 North, its initial manifestation occurred on May 19, 1613 @28Tau38, so use a Venusian Taurus lens to view the upcoming Uranian and Saturnian matters embedded within the sign of Aquarius. Eclipses in Taurus always involve issues of endurance, patience, and reliability - but stubbornness, intolerance, indolence, and extravagance must be avoided. In Aquarius, Eclipes are more about innovative approaches and novel solutions to karmic problems; humanitarian groups are often involved; however, we must avoid making whimsical changes and/or taking precipitous actions for best results, for action must be geared to fit the situation. Of note in May 1613, Pluto clocked in @5Tau51, a rather wide 22-degree orb with the Eclipse.

DC Horoscope: 12 North Eclipse of 2028

In closing, above is a view of the 12 North Eclipse of January 26, 2028 set for Washington DC - sans my usual scribbles (you're welcome!). Besides conjunction with Pluto, two other planetary aspects to the Eclipse provide further information: Ecl trine Uranus = friends and colleagues help overcome karmic problems and provide solutions; Ecl sextile Neptune = karmic resources are available including compassion, sensitivity, and spiritual and intuitive powers so that opportunities exist for karmic improvement as circumstances for positive Neptunian attributes are encouraged (R. Lineman).

Senator Jon Ossoff February 16, 1987

by Jude Cowell, partisan for the common good

Perhaps, dear reader, you've noticed that the Wikipedia page of Senator Jon Ossoff lists the date and location of his birth as February 16, 1987, Atlanta, Georgia.

Below is his natal horoscope speculatively set for 12:00 pm est since I've yet to find an accurate birth hour for the up-and-coming Democratic Senator with his excellent oration skills (Mercury in creative Pisces) and, by the looks of his Mercury-Saturn square, possessing a studious, serious nature:

As you can see, a few astro-notes are penned on the chart such as the Moon's degree range through the Zodiac during the 24 hours of February 16, 1987 - so that Luna is either in Virgo or Libra to pair with an intuitive Aquarian Sun of the humanitarian.

This means that Senator Ossoff is either an Air-Earth (a rational, efficient, pragmatic idealist but one who can become dry as dust - this is JFK's personality blend), or, a Double Air personality (intelligent, graceful, urbane and polite, witty, thoughtful, reasonable - an observer of life).

His 6 South Prenatal Solar Eclipse ("PE") in Venus-ruled Libra is listed as well with its Libran "fairplay and cooperation" imperatives, but without knowing an accurate birth hour for Senator Ossoff, I prefer leaving the rest up to you! jc

Trump-Apollo Speaks tonight 7.16.26

by Jude Cowell, partisan for the common good

Tonight Mr. Trump is said to deliver a speech at 9:00 pm EDT which may not be televised. If not easily accessible to viewers, no fret for we know we'll hear plenty about it later on. His usual grievances are expected to be repeated. He is, after all, 80 years old.

And yet there is something quite remarkable about 9:00 pm tonight in Washington DC for asteroid Apollo the "sun god" rises @29Leo32 - conjunct tonight's rising Moon and South Node, an echo of the Moon-SN conjunction in Mr. Trump's natal chart which suggests fluctuating popularity, and estrangement from Mama which causes problems with women as we've seen through the years (and lawsuits). Still, having a prominent Apollo in his chart tends to inspire hero-worship and he's certainly had that in his quiver, which also relates to his Sagittarian Moon under the influence of the Jupiter-ruled Zodiac sign of The Archer.

However, a curious factor is that tonight is basically an Apollo Return for Mr. Trump who was born (June 14, 1946 10:54 pm Queens, NY) with Apollo rising at his natal Ascendant (generally thought to be 29Leo55) conjunct fixed star Regulus and with his Mars @26Leo46. Therefore, he (ASC) is a Mars-Apollo figure, a born leader according to Apollo's resume. Of course, with testy Mars involved, belligerence and hot-headedness are prominent parts of the picture as well amounting to a leader with a bad ketchup-throwing temper. Perhaps his stated intention to speak of voter fraud tonight will raise his hackles, one of the fantasies he indulges in when it comes to elections and the losing of them. Of course, election fraud is the real problem, for bad policies that harm people are not easily voted for by a majority of us.

Apollo in Astrology

https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Caduceus_large.jpg

Then with Apollo in Astrology associated with healing, serpents, and Mercury's Caduceus, we could expect mentions of health matters, his own and/or the nation's in general. Perhaps he'll answer as to why take healthcare away from the American people which some folks assume is part of the GOP Project 2025 agenda to purge people out of existence. Well, he did forewarn everyone that he's a snake, but is he the healing kind?

Meanwhile, astrological Apollo relates to a multiplicity of realms and abilities such as solutions, answers, and cures. How many of us wait to hear any of these "cures" mentioned tonight depends upon whether his schtick has grown tiresome to our ears - or does his habit of overpromising sound good once again? Personally I won't hold my breath, will you?

Besides, a major renovation of his public image is needed before November elections - never mind his destructive "renovations" of Washington and the White House. His disastrous "improvement" of the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool tells the sad tale for the Pool no longer reflects the Washington Monument in the As Above, So Below way our founders intended - symbolically linking the celestial above with the mundane below.

For when all celestial considerations are removed from mundane/profane politics and government, a nation can end up with something hideous and destructive like fascism and gangsterism.

So in closing, I hope you'll check out Jessica Adams' free lesson re: Apollo in Astrology if you haven't already. For unlike tonight's speech, it's a don't-miss!

The Republican Party: same as ever?

by Jude Cowell, partisan for the common good

Being no historian, and believing that certain political events may be seen as parts of a process, I've studied the Horoscopes shown, below, of the Republican Party; the two dates reveal in 1854 a time frame during which the Party was being founded. Notably, there are other founding Horoscopes for the Party as well but to include them here is beyond the scope of this brief post.

First, a sheepish mea culpa, dear reader!

For after spending the day studying and notating the charts, there's no time for typing much so basically you're on your own.

Yet hopefully, you can make out my scribbled astro-notes penned on the image, perhaps by enlarging and/or printing them if you must. If you do so, you may find some interesting tidbits. Then if you wonder about the authoritarian direction the Republican Party has taken in recent years, try focusing on the lower left chart for March 20, 1854.

As examples of this, I'll type a few additional notes about planetary aspects to the 18 South Eclipse of November 30, 1853, aspects which influenced the Party's founding (@8Sag33 in 3rd house).

Meanwhile, the midpoint pictures penned on the image are quite descriptive of the kind of "drastic measures" the GOP must depend on these days since their extremely unpopular policies can't win elections without their cheating, rigging, and intimidating. And as you see on March 20, 1854, Mars-Uranus = MC is particularly chilling. Plus, there's US 1776 Jupiter at Midheaven (Goal Point) at the "Game Birds Feathering Their Nests" degree! No surprise there, am I right?

So! The current crop of Republicans are a determined bunch, are they not? To me, they behave in similar fashion to the infamous members of the death cult of personality that forced destructive policies of suffering and death upon populations of the 1930s and 40s - until they were brought up short for being the viol*nt criminals they were.

March 20, 1854 6:30 pm LMT Ripon, WI: Three Aspects to its November 30, 1853 18 South Solar Eclipse with 18S themes of endings, partings, separation yet outcomes can be positive (paraphrasing B. Brady, Predictive Astrology #ad):

The Eclipse chart (not shown) reveals a Mars-Neptune opposition therefore --

1. Mars square Eclipse potentials: belligerence; improper use of force; rebellion; sexual abuses.

2. Neptune square Eclipse potentials: fraud, deception; use of fantasy; criminality; occultism (cultism.)

3. Uranus inconjunct Eclipse potentials: spiritually incorrect social attitudes; misguided activism; fanaticism; anarchists with the sole purpose to destroy. (R. Lineman).

Well, there you have them in their infancy. Have they changed in these 172 years? After all, we know that much has been made through the years with a variety of attempts to spruce up the public image of the G.rand O.ld P.arty. Yet as usual I shall leave it to you, dear reader, to decide for yourself.

Perhaps you noticed that quirkily, the Google uploader has decided to start working again for SO'W images! I only hope the miraculous cooperation continues. Thanks a bunch for reading, jc

America's Mercury Return 2026

by Jude Cowell, partisan for the common good

July 6, 2026

Astro-Notes: America's Mercurial Summer of 2026

Above: a tri-wheel of Mercury's Rx-Direct-Shadow degrees of July into August 2026

Since Messenger planet Mercury turned retrograde (Rx) in early July @26Canb03, we find that our national Mercury Return this year has already begun with a total of three exact Returns all together, aka, a three-fer return. Below are the three dates that transit Mercury returned and will return to its July 4, 1776 position (@24Can11:51 at 5:09 pm LMT) - or, use your preferred US horoscope as you wish and the timings of America's 2026 Mercury Returns will naturally be different:

1. June 22, 2026: done!

2. July 7, 2026 (Rx): tomorrow! chart shows Saturn-Neptune = Moon @8Ari36 with potentials for: a low character; emotional immaturity; pessimism; depression; and/or chronic diseases - R. Ebertin;

3. August 5, 2026: Mercury-Saturn = Uranus @5Gem09 - in Return 9th house of Foreign Lands @6Gemini = "Drilling for Oil" (Strait of Hormuz?); the midpoint picture's potentials include: haste; quick decisions; going one's own way; nerve disease; plus, the speculation pair of Jupiter-Neptune = Uranus: imagination vs reality; coming down to earth with a bump; sudden recognition of a difficult situation (R. Ebertin).

Now as you know, any three-fer planetary return emphasizes the importance of the returning planet for that period of time including its aspects to other planets in the horoscope in which it appears. Obviously for America, besides the usual Mercurial circumstances, Mercury's directional shifts of Summer 2026 lead up to the Midterm Elections in November 2026, and many issues in the political and societal spheres depend upon outcomes via Mercury, planet of ballots, voting, vote counting and recounting (Rx), and the campaign speeches that sway voters one way or another. Mercury to-and-fro suggests that minds and decisions will change and perhaps change back by Election Day in November.

Our National Mercury-Pluto July 4, 1776

Then as we know, US 1776 Mercury opposes US 1776 Pluto Rx @27Cap33 so all our country's Mercury Returns soon stir up transit Mercury aligning in opposition to powerful Pluto, an aspect which is associated with intense ideas and information, manipulated ideas or plans, refusals to listen to others, wrong information intended to mislead, spying activities and surveillance, and/or restrictions on free thinking and/or communicating. Plus, Mercury also represents trade, commerce, negotiations and contracts, voting, oaths of office, the senses, teaching/learning, young folk, and just about anything else we care to name.

So let's close this post with our Mercury's rounded-up Sabian Symbol which relates closely to issues of government and power:

25 Cancer = "A Dark Shadow or Mantle Thrown Suddenly Over the Right Shoulder"; Keyword: DESTINY; positive expression: some dramatic manifestation of genius vital to the general welfare of man; negative (shadow side/unconscious -jc) expression: a tendency to unwarranted presumption if not outright megalomania.

Dear reader, I shall leave the word picure's interpretation in 2026 up to you.

Two Eclipses in August 2026

Washington Burning 1814

May 2023/26 Progressions of Mr. Trump

by Jude Cowell, partisan for the common good

Until his June 2027 First Quarter Progressed Moon occurs, Mr. Trump remains under the influence of his Secondary Progressed ('SP') Cresent Moon Phase which perfected on May 24, 2023 @21Lib33. View his 2023 SP Cresent Phase Horoscope, below, in bi-wheel form (inner). The outer chart shows planetary transits for that exact date and time; both horoscopes are set for the White House, but relocate the charts as you wish.

In general, the Crescent Phase of the Moon often denotes past events and conditions becoming significant or prominent in the present, possibly even tripping us up in some way. And a Libra Moon suggests (and remember we're talking Politics!) potentials such as fateful partnerships; irresponsibility; self-indulgence; and/or emphasis on unimportant things (R. Ebertin). Perhaps like using distractions to divert public attention?

Now one event that occurred on May 24, 2023 stands out in the political realm: Canada and Saudi Arabia resumed full diplomatic relations after their break-up over the assassination of dissident journalist Jamal Khashoggi of the Washington Post who, you'll remember, met his tragic end on October 2, 2018 after entering the Saudi Embassy in Istanbul, Turkey to pick up the required papers so that he and his fiancee could marry.

Then two other significant 2023 events should be noted here although of course there are others:

1. The failure of San Francisco's First Republic Bank which was auctioned off to JP Morgan Chase, a collapse which surpassed the March 2023 failure of the Silicon Valley Bank, and 2. The coronation of King Charles III and his Queen, Camilla.

As for Mr. T's SP Cresent Moon Phase shown above, the big fat Bundle of planets in his progressed 12th house of Politics tells an unfortunate tale of a dictator, plus, there's the harsh Saturn-Pluto duo at Midheaven ('MC'), the Goal Point of the chart. You may remember that the Saturn-Pluto Conjunction of 2020 @22Cap46 landed directly upon Mr. T's natal Vertex, a point of fated encounters.

So! If we didn't know anything else about his phase of life via Astrology, we can turn on a TV at any point in time and be horrified by his authoritarian behavior and his determination to remake America into his image.

Meanwhile, this post must be closed so let's add a few brief notes concerning potentials within the conscious-unconscious Sun-Moon blends shown in both charts; either one or both descriptions may sound familiar:

SP Sun Virgo-Moon Libra: assuming intellectual superiority; fussy insistence on things being "just right"; rule of law. Image for Integration: "A monastic husband."

(Transit) Sun Gemini-Moon Leo: childlike fantasies of royal blood ensure confident social performances; a dramatic storyteller with charisma; a weaver of magical images; the need for flattery and for holding center stage; a fertile imagination; childish haughtiness and stubbornness when feeling under appreciated. Image for Integration: "A king holds court --"

Independence Day 2018: Republicans in Moscow

by Jude Cowell, partisan for the common good

As you know, mystical planet Neptune is the planet closely associated with Russia (its 'totem planet' as Uranus is America's 'totem planet'), and perhaps you remember how a group of seven Republican Congressmen spent July, 2018 in Moscow, but they weren't in Russia to complain about Putin aiding Tr*mp in the November 2016 Election, oh no.

They were there to say, no criticism for You, comrades. What else they divulged, I don't know. Intel? A financial pay-off? Perhaps a big fat Thank You Very Much? What do you think they were there for?

Can neo-Nazis Foxtrot in Washington DC?

by Jude Cowell, partisan for the common good

Within the current Tr*mp regime's architectural projects intended to remake the city of Washington DC and America in his image, one question seems prominent when we consider it in that history rhymes sort of way: Did Hitl*r Build a Ball Room After Coming into Power? Well, there are issues with the truthiness of such an assertion, so do check out the article if you wish.

Remaking Government The Tyrant's Way

The image taken via my phone shown below is a horoscope of August 2, 1934 "12:00 pm CET" Berlin, Germany, and for details, a link to previous astro-notes follows.

As you see, Sun conjuncts Midheaven (leadership is the goal) and opposite, the Foundation Point of the chart (IC) @6AQ19 is where transit Pluto now hangs around. Of course, this degree also happens to be the Zodiacal position of America's 1776 South Node. And as you know, the Pluto/SN combination contains a Saturnian flavor (SN of separation and relying on what hasn't worked in the past) and is symbolic of large social movements such as war, restriction, and privation.

For as history shows, Hitl*r delivered those conditions, and in our time, Mr. T is in process of delivering them, too:

And if we considered a bi-wheel of Ad*lf's natal chart surrounded by his August 2, 1934 'elevation to power' chart, we'd find a major transit: electrical Uranus to his natal Sun suggesting a new identity and taking an entirely new direction.

Here's a link to the related post from 2024 which you may wish to review: When Hitl*r Became President on August 2, 1934 (chart shown, above) under the auspices of not one but two Solar Eclipses: an 8 North @25AQ (February 14, 1934 - still operative on August 2nd: visions and vivid dreams), and an 8 South (August 10, 1934 @17Leo: separation, loss, physical injury) which manifested only 8 days after Ad*lf's August 2nd elevation in power and status.

But why two Eclipses? Because 8 days is well within the two-week window during which eclipse themes can begin to express even as the previous eclipse themes remain influential.

Then an additional factor suggesting the party's strong determination to force their plans into reality is that the 8 North Eclipse @25AQ was conjoined in 1934 by transit Saturn (@25AQ59 Rx) which identifies those who are responsible for, and able to carry out the themes of the Eclipse which, in this case, indicates the visions and vivid dreams of the Nazi Party in 1934. However, a negative indicator of Saturn in Aquarius is ambitious plans without a sound foundation (R. Ebertin). So it seems to me that a death cult bringing brutal animalism and millions of fatalities to the world turned out to be a very bad plan. And so it remains.

Looking ahead, let's close this fussy post by adding that the IC of the above Naz*-esque horoscope of 1934 will receive the 12 North Solar Eclipse of January 26, 2028 @6Aquarius with 12 North themes of "greater responsibilities and opportunities as a result of someone being unable to carry on; events are difficult but outcomes are positive."

Wonder who that someone will be?

Eclipse themes paraphrased from Predictive Astrology, Bernadette Brady #ad.

Coronation of Henry VIII and Catherine of Aragon

The Tudor Rose and The Pomegranate

As shown in the above woodcut image, Henry's Tudor Rose and Catherine of Aragon's Pomegranate are featured. As you know, theirs was a long standing marriage that failed to yield the required heir to the throne that Henry VIII was desperate to have, as had other monarchs before and after him. 'Twas and remains a question of dynasty, and power.

Now upon their grandly luxurious Coronation of June 24, 1509 (England's first joint coronation!), the noon hour sported Sun in Cancer (11:30), the sign of family and country, and Moon in Virgo (29:44 - and likely in Libra before proceedings were over). Checking the planetary blends provides us with a peek into the cosmic weather of the day. We might even say that the Sun symbolized Henry (male), while the Moon symbolized Catherine (female), with Virgo the sign of health and the virgin, and Libra the sign of Partnership.

Sun-Moon: Conscious-Unconscious Blend of the Day

Now curiously, both Sun Cancer-Moon Virgo and Sun Cancer-Moon Libra have maternal Images for Integration (via The Harveys). A Cancer Sun and a Virgo Moon: "The Perfect Mother" while a Libra Moon: "Mother Goose."

Then last but not least, the energies of the pre-event Solar Eclipse which influenced their Coronation - and I'd say influenced the entire reign of Henry VIII - manifested on May 18, 1509 @6Gem31:06. Unfortunately, the Saros Series of this Eclipse petered out ages ago so my information is limited as far as eclipse themes go.

But what I can tell you is that a Solar Eclipse in Mercury-ruled Gemini (the sign of children and babies!) tends to aid karmic progress as long as logic and reasoning are uppermost.

However, the negative side of a Gemini Eclipse often denotes capriciousness, superficiality, and suggests a splintering quality to the proceedings. And I'm certain that you don't need to be reminded of the circumstances of divorce of Henry from his wife, Catherine of Aragon who, it's long been said, never stopped loving the capricious Henry VIII.

US-Iran War 2026 Timeline w/ the War's Eclipse

by Jude Cowell, American partisan for the common good

For any reader who may have been hiding from the news since late February, here's a US-Iran War 2026 Timeline which began with Tr*mp striking Iran on February 28, 2026 "in the early morning hours." At the time, he said he "got them" before they "got them," and I continue to wonder if that's at least one of the reasons he attacked the country - his idea of self-preservation.

Perhaps someone whispered to him that his name was on a target list and it spooked him. If so, such a whisper would be enough for the impulsive, erratic, me-first fellow to give the "go" signal.

Anyway, as General Smedley Butler famously informed us, "war is a racket," so let's consider the Solar Eclipse Saros Series in which the US-Iran War of 2026 was first waged and is influenced by:

That's the 10 North Eclipse of February 17, 2026 @28AQ49, a Zodiacal position that many astrologers would say conjuncts US Moon of July 4, 1776. When a Solar Eclipse lands upon a radix Moon - and in this case specifically - We the People's Moon - the populace understands instinctively what's going on and what must be done about it.

Therefore, 10 North themes come into play: focus on communications; frustrating or inhibiting events occur through news, paperwork, and/or young people (sent off to fight an illegal war? forced to register for 'the draft'?). In addition, issues of fatigue and feeling drained are widespread (paraphrasing B. Brady's Predictive Astrology #ad).

Well, I know I'm exhausted by the Tr*mp regime and his war, aren't you? And we know that America's coffers are being drained by billions of dollars each day as organized crime figures and amateur "diplomats" and crooked "politicians" have their corrupt way with our country, our people, our finances, our politics. Yes, the wolves are in the hen house - emptying it, in fact.

Okay, I'll quit fussin' for now. Since the Google uploader no longer works for displaying horoscopes and other images, I can't show you an image of the 10 North Elipse, or a horoscope of Tr*mp's ill-begotten war against Iran which has led to the closing of the Strait of Hormuz (everyone told the blighter this would happen) and to higher gas prices with more skewed outcomes awaiting us in the wings.

Still, you may wish to view a previously published list of Solar and Lunar Eclipses 2026 through 2028 including February 2026's 10 North.

3 Horoscopes for Cuba - and Trump

by Jude Cowell, partisan for the common good

Shown below are the three sets of founding data for Cuba from Nicholas Campion's The Book of World Horoscopes (#ad). Data but no charts since I continue to be restricted from uploading images here on Blogger:

Chart #70 Cuba - Treaty of Paris: December 10, 1898 15:08 LMT Havana, Cuba; ASC 15Tau52, MC 3AQ46 (visits to MC from transit Pluto: is Tr*mp on the way to take over and/or deconstruct and transform the country? Uncertain but this is a resentment toward anyone who tries to exert control transit).

#71 Cuba - Independence: May 20, 1902 12:00 LMT Havana, Cuba; ASC 00Vir17, MC 29Tau38; there's an active 4/10 polarity of houses with 10th house Pluto-Mercury-Neptune opposed by 4th house Uranus Rx @20Sag00 (conjunct Tr*mp's natal Moon-South-Node conjunction - he's ruled by his emotions, and by his popularity ratings - opposing his visible, public Sun-North-Node of meetings and contacts with chaotic disruptor and catalyst Uranus nearby: erratic Uranus his guiding planet.

#72 Cuba - Communist: January 2, 1959 1:00 EST Havana, Cuba; ASC 17Lib12 (conjunct Tr*mp's natal 2nd house Jupiter stationary - and V. Put*n's natal Saturn); MC 17Can19; additionally, Cuba's Jupiter @24Sco12 conjuncts Tr*mp's natal IC of Endings and Foundations.

Hope this data is helpful to you since the White House continues its urge to expand US territory and because nearby Cuba could very well be within the raptor's sightline.

America 2026 and beyond

by Jude Cowell, partisan for the common good

As you've likely noticed, these days YouTube is replete with a variety of channels that publish videos regarding the Fate of America in 2026, 2027, and beyond. Some videos contain predictions proffered by the "sleeping prophet" Edgar Cayce whose natal horoscope is available with a C rating.

There are also videos of Jeane Dixon's forecasts about America 2026 if you care to search YouTube for them.

Plus, perhaps you own a copy of The Secet Destiny of America by the great Manly P. Hall (astro-notes plus a video), or, perhaps you, along with many others, simply feel that something has gone wrong for and within our nation and you do not like it. Gone wrong just as America turns 250 years old in July! Reckon timing is at work?

Now such feelings may stem from the fact that saboteurs have been at work from our earliest days, determined to undermine America as an idea, an ideal of freedom and democracy, and as a global leader. You know, those idealistic Enlightenment principles that allow individuals to pursue happiness, enjoy personal privacy, and to govern themselves.

Symbolized by the "Enlightened" Uranus-Neptune planetary pair, America hit a major speed bump in 2017 with Tr*mp in charge when transit Pluto @17/18Capricorn finally caught up with the 1993 Conjunction/s of Uranus and Neptune and we got this:

"The big picture command a certain course of action, which must be followed; very little option to do otherwise" (Solar Arcs, Noel Tyl #ad)

My suspicion is that this is the "offer that can't be refused" which manipulates and controls Washington DC politicians. So it seems that the US government has devolved into mobsterism on steroids with the planetary pair of Neptune-Pluto "manning" the helm of State via the pair's organized crime capacity. Or call it Underworld Crime (sex and drug trafficking, etc) if you prefer. And which planet hit their Great Conjunction/s in 1891/92 in the 7-9 degree range of Gemini? Actually, Neptune-Pluto conjoined US 1776 Uranus, our planet of anarchy, zealotry, radicalism, extremism, revolt, war, disruption, shock, and separation.

Potentials for Neptune-Pluto = Uranus: "Possibly aberrant behavior; making waves to get to shore; adventurous ego thrust; disruption to gain recognition" (N. Tyl).

Now these are potentials we've been dealing with ever since as the potentials of this midpoint picture are disrupting our country to this day. Ex: January 6, 2021: when the Capitol Building was breached by Tr*mp's zealots, US 1776 Uranus was rising over Capitol Hill.

And yet the changes that are coming such as consciousness expansion won't depend on saboteurs, political operatives, or societal meddlers for All will be affected, and staying calm and as steady as possible - and community engagement - will be the keys for making it through.
