Donald Trump and the War Of Terror – Max Igan (plus, Eclipses)

First, An American’s Perspective on Bombs, Terrorism, Eclipses, and Mr. Trump

by Jude Cowell

Recently I posted asking if The Great American Eclipse @29Leo, a critical 29th degree that will hit the natal Ascendant of Donald Trump, will bring an ‘eclipsing’ of America (or of Mr. Trump as representative of America), in part because its path of totality ‘splits’ our nation from Oregon to South

Cosmic Flavors and Images of April 15 and 16, 2017

These days at Stars Over Washington my schedule is limited so I prefer writing about wider issues and broader cosmic influences such as Solstices, major planetary conjunctions, inaugurations, and other political and astrological concerns and events. But considering recent world events involving the US (unpredictable leader drops the MOAB on Afghanistan tunnels), North Korea (unpredictable leader

Feb 3 2015 Leo Full Moon conjoins fixed star Dubhe

On Tuesday February 3, 2015 a Full Moon @14Leo47 perfects at 6:08:54 pm est across the 6/12 axis in a horoscope set for Washington DC. Along with Dubhe, the Full Moon rises with Jupiter Rx @18Leo00 conjunct the degree of the August 11, 1999 Solar Eclipse which heralded New Millennium ‘terror’ and our subsequent global economic woes. Jupiter continues as the handle planet of a Bucket planetary pattern thus linking chart hemispheres and the actors (planets) opposite.

Sun @14AQ47 falls in the 6th house of Work, Health, and Service (military, police, civil, domestic), and Daily Tasks and with the Moon is part of a Focused YOD along with the Pluto-Chiron sextile.

Pluto-Chiron = plutocracy, oppression, exploitation, primal violence

The Pluto-Chiron sextile (the base of the YOD pattern pointing toward the Moon and by opposition, the Sun) denotes spokesmen and those who have a “finger on the mass pulse” (Nolle). Pluto @14Cap18 in 5th house applies to a final square (0A55) with Uranus–here @13Ari22 in 8th house (exact on March 16). The ongoing Saturn-Neptune square from 4th house to 7th continues to bellyache over its social burdens such as the funding of America’s safety net programs and other social needs of the populace. Also, 7th house Neptune denotes the ongoing unreliability in February 2015 of partnerships and alliances domestically and in American foreign policy. A 7th house Venus, exalted in Pisces, brings in a potential link to the Vatican.

My suspicion is that the Full Moon’s close encounter with fixed star Dubhe points primarily toward US foreign policy for fixed star Dubhe is the alpha star of constellation Ursa Major, the Great She-Bear, and as everyone knows, this is a traditional archetypal symbol for Russia. Potential expressions of Dubhe include: destruction, arrogance (A. Louis), a martial nature (Ptolemy), nastiness (Ebertin), strong feminine powers, intuition, psychism, persistence, endurance, and quiet strength (Brady).

Visions of an angry, protective she-bear appear with the February 3rd Full Moon in dramatic Leo! Yes, paternalistic egos may be viciously defended yet examples of the star’s Mars-inspired energies include Princess Diana’s natal Venus which is linked by paran to Dubhe and, as Ebertin notes, Dubhe links with the natal Moon of China’s Mao Tse Tung who advised his political operatives (and all future politicians with an infiltrating mission) that,

“Wherever we go, we must unite with the people, take root, and blossom among them…”

Hmmm..I confess, this reminds me of The Americans returning to TV last evening and how Russian and other spies are embedded among us.

Note: a brief bio of Chairman Mao Tse Tung and his natal horoscope may be found here.

And for additional information on the February 3, 2015 Full Moon you’ll find a comprehensive analysis showing lunation horoscopes set for various locations including the Middle East at Grand Trines.

Update 1/29/15: the 8th house Uranus is prominent in the Full Moon chart for it acts as the Thales Point (trine Moon, sextile Sun)–the negotiator–that can ease tension between the opposing Sun and Moon.

US natal chart w/ ‘Thor’s Hammer’: Sun-Saturn = Moon

Sun (president) plus Saturn (Congress; SCOTUS) vs The People’s Moon

by Jude Cowell

A fated planetary pattern called Thor’s Hammer (aka, Fist of God) may be seen in the natal horoscope (July 4, 1776) of America between the Sun-Saturn square aiming toward US natal Moon @27AQ10 (We the People):

Some basic notes are scribbled thereupon so please click image to enlarge. You’ll note our

"The Big Benghazi Theory"– Jon Stewart (video)

On TV yesterday I watched a goodly portion of Darrel Issa’s witch-hunting Benghazi hearing. So far my favorite news report on the hearing is Jon Stewart’s coverage which you see here and my favorite part of that is Mr. Stewart pointing out how Republicans and their news buddies have been working so hard to make the tragic September 11, 2012 attack/s on our embassy seem hugely worse and more

Ron Paul on the folly of US foreign aid (audio)

On this occasion of Hosni Mubarak’s ouster from power in Egypt, have a listen to Rep. Ron Paul’s Texas Straight Talk of February 7, 2011 concerning the folly of sending billions in US foreign aid overseas and, irrespective of moral considerations, the fact that America cannot afford to continue "buying friends" in the Middle East.The only thing I miss in the excellent Dr. Paul’s messages and
