It’s tempting to blame the string of Anti-Semitic attacks, which ended with five people being stabbed to death in New York, and yesterday’s shooting in a Texas church on the conjunction between Saturn and Pluto. However, these violent events are really just part of a trend toward hatred and violence that has been growing in this country for several years.
I think that it is what happened during the Texas shooting that has more relevance to the Saturn/Pluto conjunction. During that event, which reportedly lasted about six seconds, a man shoot two parishioners before he was killed by an armed security guard. An armed parishioner also shoot the gunman and reports indicate that several other people in the audience drew weapons and were preparing to open fire on the attacker.
This is where we are now. Church services require armed guards and people gathering on Sunday to worship the “Prince of Peace” come packin’ heat. On the one hand, it sounds outrageous. On the other, when you consider what has happened over the past several years, particularly in Texas, it makes perfect sense. The only argument I can make is that a bullet-proof vest might be the better option. Having a pistol on your hip only helps if you’re not the first one shot,
The last Full Moon (click here to see the article and the chart) featured the Moon on the Midheaven and the Sun on the I.C. I felt this indicated a completion and we saw the completion of the House’s effort to impeach President Trump. However, Neptune was in a T-square with the Sun and Moon so that completion did not go the way that everyone expected. Neptune brings vagueness and uncertainty. Nancy Pelosi has decided not to pass the impeachment on to the Senate until she has some assurance that it won’t be immediately dismissed.
What we have here is an old fashioned power play between two experienced and very canny politicians: Nancy Pelosi and Mitch McConnell. This is very much in keeping with the conjunction of Saturn and Pluto, which is drawing closer to completion every day. Right now it seems that McConnell has the upper hand, but the fact that more evidence has emerged connecting the President’s phone call to the Ukrainian president with the withholding of military aid might undercut his position.
Right now the situation with Donald Trump’s horoscope is pretty bad. Transiting Pluto has moved to within two degrees an opposition to his natal Saturn and transiting Saturn is fast approaching its own opposition to that planet, as well as a conjunction to transiting Pluto. Obviously, the impeachment process is causing Trump to feel a lot of pressure, as witnessed by the crazy letter he sent to Nancy Pelosi yesterday.
However, we all know how the impeachment process is going to play out. The House will vote to impeach and then, as quietly and quickly as possible, McConnell and the Republicans in the Senate will dismiss the action. The only question is how the 45 to 50 percent of the American people who want to see the President removed from office will react to this power play.
What’s not so certain is what’s going to happen with another possible check on the President’s power. The Supreme Court has agreed to hear the case regarding both the subpoena by the House of Representatives of Trump’s financial records and Don McGahn, Trump’s attorney during the Mueller investigation. The court’s decision on these matters will have important ramifications on the oversight powers of congress. It’s hard to exercise oversight of a president if he or she can simply ignore your request for information.
The big aspect that has so many astrologers on edge right now is the approaching conjunction of transiting Saturn with transiting Pluto. Some would say that we are already seeing the influence of that aspect and I don’t necessarily disagree with them. However, the aspect won’t be exact until Jan. 11, 2020.
When I’m trying to figure out how an aspect is going to work, I like to go back and look that what happened previously when the aspect was exact. What follows is a summary of what I learned from this research.
Since 1800 Saturn and Pluto have been in an angular aspect (conjunction, square or opposition) a total of 26 times. The majority of these transits coincided with a major, world-shaking event. However, the influence of these transits are not limited to one country. It is spread across the world. These events are also spread across the world.
