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...
