Hunter's Moon October 2026 with a YOD pattern

by Jude Cowell, partisan for democracy and the common good

Here are two images of the October 26, 2026 Full Moon @2Tau45:43 which perfects at 12:11:46 am EDT over Washington DC. The first Full Moon Horoscope of the "Hunter's Moon" of 2026 is unmarked by my usual scribbled astro-notes (you're welcome!), the second image is over-full of notations all squooshed upon the chart:

The crisis/turning point YOD pattern has Uranus-Neptune potentials at its base and a health connotation included (any, all, or none may apply):

Lack of control of the waking consciousness (guess who?); instability; peculiar and/or confused psychic states; nervous sensitivity; unbalanced emotional states; unusual inclinations; losses; wrong ideas; one-sidedness; inner illumination; growth of subconscious powers or forces; mysticism; paralysis of rhythmic processes; apoplexy of the brain; heart failure (R. Ebertin).

As you know, Midterms 2026 are soon upon us, and in October Mr.T plans to cover the country with speeches in an attempt to convince or promise to pay voters to vote Republican. And as you likely realize, such bribes will result in yet another example of his unkept campaign promises.

So considering his plunging poll numbers, I shall point toward transiting South Node of the Moon, a separative Saturnian point in space (with neurotic tendencies thrown in - same behavior expecting a different outcome) now conjunct his natal Mars and Ascendant. Plus, his natal 12th house midpoint picture of death, fury, and destruction (R. Ebertin) - Pluto = Mars-Saturn - will be ruffled at the October Full Moon as the Mars-Ascendant midpoint conjoins his Pluto which suggests potentials for violence, subjugation of others, and anger.

Then by itself, transiting South Node conjunct natal Mars describes actions that are out of harmony with societal standards, along with much anger, temper tantrums, and frustration (Skalka) for the old boy.

Declaring martial law against the American people or invoking the Insurrection Act would be "out of harmony" with our druthers, yes?

Meanwhile, tr South Node conjunct his natal Ascendant in pompous drama-queen Leo lends a bigly measure of loss of support and unpopularity, which, let's face it - has always been an off-on, fluctuating condition due to his natal Moon-South Node conjunction. They say that Mama didn't like him either.

So ultimately, the point of this post must be: Vote in November! Now I hadn't intended that this Hunter's Moon post would have His Heftiness spread all over it but there it is. Because as I made notes, there the blighter was.

Now let's close this fussiness with one of the Harveys' Images for Integration which, as you see, is penned upon the notated chart and which could be related to the Epstein Files via the Full Moon's water-earth "rigid, dogmatic, all-or-nothing" Sun Scorpio-Moon Taurus blend:

"Pluto takes Persephone into the Underworld."

Pam Bondi and the Epstein Files February 11, 2026

by Jude Cowell, partisan for the common good

Once again, AG Pam Bondi is testifying on Capitol Hill today, this time concerning the Justice Department's mishandling of the Epstein Files release which revealed the names of victims while redacting the names of the powerful, although some names have subsequently been revealed.

Therefore, today's cosmic weather may be of interest for it involves Sun in Aquarius, Moon in Sagittarius, an Air-Fire combination of energies. This indicates an ability to see the broad view, to make sweeping generalizations and to rationalize - and also suggests those with an "austere moral fervor" (Sun Sign-Moon Sign, the Harveys #ad). Could this describe Pam or - ?

Born in Tampa, Florida on November 17, 1965, I have no birth hour for Pam Bondi but for the purpose of her Sun-Moon personality blend, this doesn't matter since the Moon remained in Virgo for the entire 24 hours of her birth day.

Then if we add her Virgo Moon to her Scorpio Sun, we find potentials for a narrow-minded outlook, a critical nature, an aggressive stance, and an arrogance that prefers to rewrite the rules, thanks very much. For the blend's Image for Integration, we have Britten's all-male opera Billy Budd (the Harveys).

In closing, I would be remiss if I neglected to add that this blend of conscious and unconscious energies is actually a good combination to be born with for - politics.

And if you're curious, you'll find my previous post concerning the lady AG here which includes her noon natal horoscope for your consideration.

Then while you're at it, why not review Jeffrey Epstein's "found" death chart?
