by Jude Cowell
Today a post to show this evening’s Mars Return to the Modern Humanity Horoscope which is based on the third of three Great Neptune-Pluto Conjunctions @7Gem41/42. The Neptune-Pluto Cycle is of such duration, 492/3 years, that their Conjunction is *it* for you and me, dear reader.

118th Congress: Jupiter and Algol Rise
by Jude Cowell
When the Republican Party formed in 1854, did the founders consider themselves a death cult in the making? Probably not, yet that’s how far-right insurrection-leaning members and QAnon coup enthusiasts can be described these days especially after Tr*mp’s attempted overthrow of the US government on January 6, 2021.

by Jude Cowell
Wednesday July 28, 2021: Just a quick post on how the transiting North Node of the Moon (future direction), at 1:03 pm edt today @8Gem59, conjuncts America’s Uranus (July 4, 1776 @8Gem55) which to me seems highly descriptive of current political events and conditions.

by Jude Cowell
Is the American capstone about to be crane-lifted into place with our nation ruling the roost – or, going belly up? America as we’ve known her now passes quickly since the SARS-Covid pandemic swept so much of our lives and lifestyles away.
