The Bolton Factor
As the Impeachment Trial of Donald J. Trump proceeds, it appears that the testimony of John Bolton may have a profound effect. The very foundations of American democracy are being undermined by Donald Trump, as he seeks to gain absolute power. John Bolton, as reactionary as he is, does care for the country and for the principles it is based on. To Trump laws and values mean nothing. Trump's personal gain comes before everything. He totally lacks the sense of service to the country and to something greater than himself.
The unfolding of world events is orchestrated by primal unconscious forces that seem to have a life of their own. Collectively we seem forced into certain actions, often contrary to logic. The patterns of history repeat or rhyme, as if the lessons from before were not learned, and we go through same kinds of trials again. This is because we still live mostly on the unconscious level. The archetypal fragments playing around in our unconscious minds determine which energies dominate at different times. These cycles of history were described by Richard Tarnas in his book "Cosmos and Psyche".
We are living at a time when there is consolidation of political power in dictatorships in many parts of the world. The right wing parties have ascended to power and they seek to force conformity, obedience, and to punish those who do not fit the mold.
The principles of Saturn are those of strict order, of a clearly defined hierarchy and conformity. Collectively people become more easily led by would-be autocrats. Astrologically the principles of Saturn are being energized by the power of Pluto, which can be a ruthless and profoundly destructive force. We can see this in our politics by the pressures being put on the GOP politicians to obey and defend Trump. Astrologically we are living through a Saturn-Pluto conjunction. Those who resist, like Bolton, must have special strengths.
Can the impact of John Bolton on the world be seen through the planetary charts? Below is the Noon Natal Chart of John Bolton in the inner circle with the current planets on the outer circle.
On February 9, 2020 Bolton's natal Mars will be in exact conjunction to transiting Mars. This likely means that Bolton will have a direct impact on something happening in the world around this time. Bolton's Uranus (planet of rebellion) will be in opposition to the Mars conjunction. Bolton's actions will come from rebellion. He acts from an independent, yet principled position (Jupiter conjunction Mars, Jupiter opposition Uranus). Bolton has his own vision of what order should be (Saturn trine Jupiter, Saturn sextile Uranus, Saturn in Virgo). Another significant factor is the 1 degree quincunx of his Eris to his Saturn. This could be interpreted as disruptive action taken for the sake of order. John Bolton seems to be fulfilling his destiny of being a fighter for the order he believes in.
