Here's a Discovery of America Horoscope

by Jude Cowell, partisan for America

Years back here on SO'W, a Discovery of America Horoscope was published, and in case you'd care to compare current transits with its 1492 placements, below you see the chart set for sunrise ("early in the morning") on October 12, 1492 Great Guana Cay, Bahamas.

If you're interested, National Geographic provides details including the fact that the Island of San Salvadore, as the location has been called since 1925 to "recognize the first known European contact with the Americas," is thought by many who study such topics to be Columbus' actual landing place early on the morning on October 12, 1492:

So here's a question for you:

Can current, future, and/or past transits reveal any useful information concerning events, conditions, or circumstances occurring in America at a chosen point in time? My guess is that answers are available for those curious enough to keep tabs!

Well, here are few of today's planetary contacts that pop out at yours truly based on 6:00 pm EST January 17, 2026:

In general, there are multiple indications of current traumatic shifts in US society involving tension, irritability, insecurity, paranoia, fear, and the accompanying unrest that's being purposefully fomented via extreme power plays. For example: Sun-square-1492-Sun, Sun inconjunct 1492 Mars, and Uranus inconjunct 1492 Sun.

Then for a gracious helping of karma, today's Saturn squares 1492 Neptune which adds to our stressful conditions as foundations shake and laws are disregarded and undermined, plus, an emphasis on spiritual values becomes more important than the materialism that a majority of We the People have tended to favor. (Understandable given the "race race" workers have had to run in order to keep up with expenses, raise a family, etc.)

And with today's North Node inconjunct 1492 Saturn, a letting go of previous alliances is underway - is known to be underway - as certain politicians work to isolate our country from allies in order to sabotage and collapse our nation, plunder resources into certain bank accounts, and thereby remove the US from her former position as global leader.

Then in the realm of civil rights, Uranus inconjunct 1492 Neptune suggests the erosion and disruption of individual rights, adding restrictions and confusion as bullies behave in an out-of-control manner. You know who they are.

Meanwhile, a major transit of today's Jupiter exalted in Cancer is ruffling the 1492 Moon yet Luna's position could be adjusted if we knew an exact hour of the explorer's landing. With Jupiter's current retrograde period ongoing until March 10, 2026, we appreciate that our timing of the 1492 landing may be off by a bit. Even so, Jupiter-to-Moon is traditionally the "feel good" transit but as we know, it's primarily working for the well-heeled among us, and for the upper-class elite who "call the tune" with no care at all for the rest of the American people as their P-2025 purge agenda proceeds, and democracy and freedom are vanquished from the Earth (so they hope).

Then perhaps we should look at transits beyond this year because one of the harshest transits is upcoming, and that's transit Pluto conjunct 1492 Saturn (13AQ34). Of course, the conjunction will be felt "early" as transit Pluto moves within 5 degrees of 1492 Saturn, but won't become exact until April 27, 2031; this is the first of a total of five conjunctions that extend into December 2032. Structures and traditions will be further at risk and battles with authority figures - or with those who consider themselves to be in charge - must be fought as major alterations are forced into place but are resented and resisted. Yet on what is hopefully a positive note, abuse of authority is confronted and corrected, a condition that is fated to happen.

Now in closing, I know that you're certain to spot an abundance of other transits to 1492 planets from 2026 and beyond and I hope you're inspired to do so if only to confirm whether or not the Discovery of America Horoscope is a valuable resource. To me it seems to be useful but naturally you'll want to decide for yourself. jc

2026 Lunar Eclipse hits 1933 Solar Eclipse

by Jude Cowell, partisan for the common good

Well, there's no easy way to type this, but the 7 North Series of Solar Eclipses has a long and storied history which tends to include issues of primal violence to the point of animalism as we find within its initial eclipse of October 2, 1103. For details see a previous post, Origin of the Bl*od Lust Eclipse of 1103 (OS) opposed by Pluto in Aries (Rx @14Ari44) during The Crusades era of cut-throat competition for control of The Holy Land and its treasures.

As you know, initial eclipses may be used as a lens through which to read all subsequent eclipses in that series primarily via the Zodiac sign, and its ruler/s, of the initial eclipse. This blending of signs can widen our understanding. With 7 North, it's October 2, 1103's Venus-ruled Libra, sign of balance and fair play.

Yet as you've no doubt noticed, our current era is over-supplied with cut-throat competitors, many of whom are power-craving denizens of Washington, DC - plus, the thugs and vigilantes who serve them (him). Obviously, fair play does not appear on their purge agenda.

And forming a cosmic time link, the Lunar Eclipse of August 28, 2026 @5Pisces will conjunct the 7 North Solar Eclipse of February 24, 1933 with its "blood" lust/deep passion long-hidden takes people by surprise themes (B. Brady) - yet now, anyone reading this post will not be taken by quite as much surprise, will they? This cosmic meeting from 2026 to 1933, though symbolic (or is it?), suggests a Full Moon phase or element to the proceedings of August 2026 - or by August 2026 - a culmination of some sort, particularly in relation to the type of anti-societal events that occurred in 1933 - for the 7N of 1933 is known as the "Fascism Rising" Eclipse, which we've already seen. And we know that current scofflaws are cheering for this but we must resist and deter to whatever extent each of us can, while supporting those on the front lines fighting for democracy and the common good: in other words, life over death!

Meanwhile, with a flurry of historical recognition and a potential for inspiration for the battle, we might add that a 7 North ("7N") Eclipse was the highly influential lunation at the start of the Civil War of April 12, 1861. For your consideration, check out a dual image of the Civil War Horoscope along with the first of a series of Neptune Returns to the planet's 1861 position - rising exploitatively with Mercury; a few details are penned upon the image:

Then here's a printable List of all 2026/2027 Eclipses, if needed:

Finally, below is a view of the April 20, 2023 version of 7 North sprinkled with a generous amount of astro-notes all squooshed upon it (mea culpa!):

So there we have it. Please note that I'm currently attempting to "power through" my tech troubles as best a non-techie can so that SO'W posts can still be published with horoscopes intact, though perhaps not as frequently as 2026 gets underway. So if you made it to the end of this post, Thanks for reading! jc.
