Sidney Powell and the "release of kraken"

Image
Trump's attorney Sidney K. Powell promised to "release the kraken" through her election lawsuits. Kraken is a "sea monster in Scandinavian folklore that emerges from the sea to devour its enemies". However, all the lawsuits failed due to lack of evidence. This does not deter Powell who claims that the vote counting software is the same as used by Hugo Chavez in Venezuela. But since Chavez has been dead since 2013, there is no way to verify this. Maybe that is the point. Does truth really matter? For Trump it is all about winning. Cheating is acceptable. Lies are acceptable. Crazy is not only acceptable, but desirable.  What kind of lawyer would promote ideas for which there is no evidence? Who would work against facts, logic and truth? Can Astrology shed some light on this behavior? In Astrology the planetary energies associated with chaotic thinking and rebellion are primarily due to Uranus, Neptune and Eris. These planets feature prominently in Donald Trump...

Inside Trump's Sociopathic Echo Chamber

Image
  No amount of racism can change the US racial composition. The USA is a diverse country and that is reality. The original sin of slavery was due to greed. Without thinking of the consequences, wealthy Southerners brought in hundreds of thousands of slaves. Slaves were treated more like livestock than human beings. Their human rights and equality were denied at every turn. White slave owners wanted the wealth, but did not want to live alongside their slaves. Selfishness and greed is what brought in slavery. Fast-forward 243 years, and in Trump we have a narcissistic president who personifies selfishness and greed. Now past the November 3rd election, Republicans are screaming that the votes of Blacks and other minorities are fraudulent. This without proof and based solely on their prejudice about minorities. People of color have been labelled as corrupt and criminal. The Republican base wants to see all the social evils in these minority people, not in themselves. And yet, in Donald...

RBG and Antonin Scalia: An Unlikely Friendship

Image
The two, now deceased, justices of the Supreme Court, Ruth Bader Ginsburg and Antonin Scalia had an unusual, yet true friendship. They managed it in spite of being most often on the opposite sides of the Court's decisions. For RBG the issue that was of prime concern was the equality of women. To her equality meant that women should be in charge of their bodies. She wrote: "The state controlling a woman would mean denying her full autonomy and full equality." Antonin Scalia certainly had no such concerns. He never strayed far from the teachings of the Catholic Church which are based on a patriarchal society of 2000 years ago. From that perspective women were just reproductive vessels to be used by men. Yes, there seems to be an elevation of the Virgin Mary in the Catholic Church, which could just be a cover-up for the fact that Mary was an unwed pregnant teen. They sold the virgin birth really hard and it stuck. How could an intelligent man like Scalia buy into these irrat...

Trump and the American Psyche

Image
  Donald Trump demonstrates power by humiliating and defeating others. To Trump power means a crude and cruel infliction of pain. The image below is how he is imagined leaving the Oval Office. This is both funny and sad. Trump can't admit he is a loser. He is dependent on the adoration of others to feel good. Astrologically, this is indicated by his Saturn being in conjunction to Venus and also quincunx to his Moon. He risked millions of lives with his insane rallies because adoration was more important to him than the lives of those people. It is no accident that Coronavirus is spiking in places he visited and that over 130 Secret Service agents tested positive. Trumpism has become a death cult. Trump has been dislodged from the summit of power. For an insecure narcissist it must feel like death. He is rage tweeting and denying that he lost. The Republicans are afraid to confront him. Mary Trump believes he will break as many things as he can on his way out. Lawsuits and jail awai...

Amy Coney Barrett: One for the Middle Ages

Image
Amy Coney Barrett is a supermom. The archetype of the mother is emphasized heavily in her astrological chart. Moon in Cancer signifies a heavy emotional involvement with motherhood and family. In real life she is a mother of 7, confirming this indication. She will promote and advocate for motherhood, even to those who do not desire it, because it is the most important thing to her. The astrological noon chart is shown below. The exact birth time is not known and the ascendant is not known, but the remaining planets are revealing. The Moon in Cancer is one of the focal points in her chart. The energies of Mars and Uranus feed to the Moon by a T-square. This means that she will fight (Mars) by all means (Uranus) for motherhood and family (Moon). With these planets being in Cardinal signs, it means that she will take decisive actions toward her aims. She will forcefully defend any threats to her supreme values of motherhood and family. The second T-square is focused on Mercury in Capricor...

Trump's Pathetic Call for Love

Image
  Many people are experiencing schadenfreude over Trump's Covid infection. Trump toyed with the virus and lost. He also endangered many other people with his reckless behavior. The question is: how many people will have to die before his supporters abandon him? After arriving at Walter Reed on Oct. 2 Trump tweeted: "Going well, I think! Thank you all. LOVE!!!" The faithful responded. A group of supporters has kept vigil outside the hospital festooned with Trump signs and flags. On Oct. 4 Trump rewarded them with a drive-by caravan. However, he put Secret Service agents at risk with this stunt. Trump should be quarantined and anyone close to him should be wearing a full PPE! Trump's selfish needs again came first. His insatiable need for love and adoration prevailed again. Astrologically Trump's insatiable need for love and adoration is indicated by the conjunction of his natal Venus and Saturn. Saturn is the planet of limitations. It indicates where we experience ...

Trump and the "Herd Mentality"

Image
  The Trump herd is happily getting infected while he is keeping a safe distance. Trump said he was a "cheerleader" as an excuse for his downplaying of the virus. How far will the herd go with him? Over the cliff? The red states are blissfully becoming new hotspots of Coronavirus thanks to Trump's leadership. Mindless rage is what is needed to sustain the herd and Trump busily provides it. What can possibly bring the Trump herd back to reality? In Astrology the Saturn Pluto stressful transits have been described by Richard Tarnas as follows: ..."alignments of the Saturn-Pluto cycle coincided with especially challenging historical periods marked by a pervasive quality of intense contraction: eras of international crisis and conflict, empowerment of reactionary forces and totalitarian impulses, organized violence and oppression, all sometimes marked by lasting traumatic effects." We are in the midst of a Saturn-Pluto conjunction into which Jupiter is now transitin...

Bob Woodward: Trump's Undoing?

Image
  What is it about Bob Woodward that places him into critical moments of American history? He exposed Richard Nixon and now he is exposing Donald Trump's negligence on Coronavirus which will likely cost Trump the re-election. The irony is that Trump was flattered by Woodward's interviews and thought Woodward could be persuaded to his point of view. Can Astrology shed some light on this synchronicity? The Natal chart for Bob Woodward is shown below: The first remarkable planetary aspect is the conjunction of Sun to dwarf planet Eris, only 15 minutes apart. The dwarf planet Eris is associated with discord and strife, with events that seem to blow out of proportion. This aspect may indicate that Bob Woodward is drawn to big and scandalous events that he helps to blow up publicly. The close proximity of planet Mercury means that this involves communication. In fact, Woodward is a journalist. In this chart the Ascendant-Descendant axis is very important. Woodward is focused on the o...

Trump: Playing down the pandemic

Image
  Donald Trump is a "stable genius" of sorts. He is a genius at lying and disinformation. Until he is caught on tape, of course. His facility with lying is impressive. He is all about "winning" and "winning" is about getting what he wants, be it power, admiration, money, or indulging himself with sex or food. If how he goes about "winning" is distasteful to the public he covers it up with lies. This is how he wants to treat the Coronavirus epidemic. It is inconvenient to his re-election so he lies about it and people die. This is shocking in a man who is supposed to run the country and care  about public good. It becomes so much clearer that Trump just cares about Trump. To Trump the 330,000,000 Americans are just pawns: "suckers" and "losers".  It is curious that these appalling facts came to light on September 9, 2020. Is there something astrologically special about this day? If we look at the transiting planets for 9-9-2020...

Senator Ron Johnson: pro Trump, pro Russia

Image
  What's with the Wisconsin Senator Ron Johnson's avid support for Trump and his policies? What's with the defense of Russia and attacks on Hunter Biden? Upon returning from a suspicious all GOP trip to Moscow Johnson said: "I've been pretty upfront that the election interference - as serious as that was - is not the greatest threat to our democracy. We've blown it way out of proportion." Was this to reassure Russians that the GOP has their backs? One thing that is clear is that Johnson is an all out Trumpian. He does his best to hurt Biden and help Trump win re-election. Johnson lines up with Trump's policies pretty well. He was claimed by the Tea Party, he rejects that global warming is man made, he opposes regulations of carbon emissions, he defended Trump calling FBI agents scum, he voted for tax cuts in 2017, he opposed federal stimulus, he is against gun control, and he opposes the Affordable Care Act, among other policies. Overall, it is apparen...

USA Election and Pluto Return

Image
  What is the meaning of the USA Pluto return? The USA was "born" under Pluto in Capricorn in 1776. Capricorn is the sign of the father or patriarch. People with strong Capricorn influences tend to believe in order, especially as devised by society and state.  The patriarchs of 1776 were in fact our "founding fathers". The structure they set up for the country is outlined in the Constitution and the Declaration of Independence. As much as the founding fathers spoke of equality and justice, the society in which they lived was a far cry from that for the poor and the enslaved. Only men who owned property could vote and women had to wait until 1920. What the founding fathers set up was functionally an oligarchy of White wealthy men. These men controlled everything of consequence. White men felt entitled to positions of honor and privilege. That was never questioned. What the age of Trump is about is the defense of White male supremacy. It is the power structure of 1776...
