It isn’t hard for astrologers to draw a connection between last month’s big eclipse and the havoc caused by hurricane Harvey, and the danger posed to Florida of Hurricane Irma. The notion that eclipses bring disasters in the regions where they seen is as old and Babylonian omen astrology. I’m not sure that this idea actually holds up under close scrutiny, but you would have a lot of trouble convincing people living in East Texas or on the west coast of Florida otherwise.
Of course, a lot of people are disappointed that this eclipse failed to bring a wind strong enough to blow a certain president out of office. Right now, with Jupiter trine his Sun and sextile his Moon, Trump’s position actually seems to be relatively solid. He even got a chance to look presidential visiting storm torn areas of Texas. However, just as many of the structures that were left standing by Harvey will eventually prove to be unsalvageable, the structure of Trump’s presidency have been significantly weakened by events that took place around the time of the eclipse.
On Sept. 9, 2017 at 4:00 PM Eastern Daylight Time and 1:00 Pacific Daylight Time I will be doing a webinar for Kepler College on Generational Astrology. Kepler College in based in Washington State. At one time Kepler was an accredited college offering degrees in the history, philosophy and transmission of astrology. Unfortunately, the State of Washington changed its mind about accreditation in 2012. Now the college offers an online program aimed toward certification.
A lot of great astrologers have done webinars and taught classes for Kepler over the years, including Chris Brennen, Lee Lehman, Gary Christen and many others. I feel honored to have been invited into their company.
My webinar will be based on several articles that I’ve published in The Mountain Astrologer and Dell Horoscope. I will discuss the generational implication of the sign positions of Neptune and Pluto. Generational Astrology is a fascinating subject. The nice thing about it is that it applies to everyone. If you were born in last 110 years or so, I will be talking about your generation.
The webinar will be offered free of cost by Kepler College. You can learn more about the webinar and register by going to the Kepler College website (www.keplercollege.org). This is the first time I’ve done a lecture in this format and I’m looking forward to the experience. I think it’s going to be a whole lot of fun. I hope some of the readers of this page join in.

Trump Vs. Paul Ryan
First of all, I have to point out that Trump’s Jupiter transit has so far been all that I predicted it would be. (Click here to see that article.) He has increased his attacks on his enemies and the press, and he has made expansive (some would say outrageous) use of his power as President by pardoning Sheriff Joe Arpaio and banning transgender people from the military. And, since he did all of this under the cover of a natural disaster in Texas (lucky for him, unlucky for them) the protests have been muted.
You might be wondering how there could be any sort of conflict between Trump and Paul Ryan, since the Speaker of the House has not just bent over backwards, he’s tied himself into increasingly complex knots in order to not offend his President. However, Trump’s promise the shut down the government if he doesn’t get funding for his border wall has put the two men on a collision course.
During his campaign Donald Trump promised to “drain the swamp” in Washington D.C. His supporters heard this and thought he intended to curtail lobbyists and big business donors who were gumming up our democracy. But Trump has done nothing about these folks. In fact, he appointed several to his Cabinet. Instead, Trump seems to have set his sights on draining Congress, starting with two of its leaders, Majority Leader of the Senate, Mitch McConnell and Speaker of the House, Paul Ryan.
I’ve run a double chart with Trump’s in the middle and a partial horoscope (without a time of birth) for Mitch McConnell on the outside (click here to see this double chart) just to see what’s going on.
The first thing you notice is the fact that McConnell’s Sun is close to Trump’s Descendant. This is typically a strong indicator of compatibility. Unlike Ryan and several other prominent Republican’s, McConnell uttered nary a word against Trump during the campaign. By all appearance, he welcomed Trump’s win in November, probably because he felt that this was a president that he could manipulate.
Of course, that has not been the case, and the other connections between these two charts tell us why. First of all, McConnell’s Uranus forms a square to Trump’s Mars. This is something that many people born around the same date as McConnell would share. However, in McConnell’s chart the square is nearly exact. This is definitely an aspect of conflict. To Trump, who has gotten by throughout his life with a combination of bombast and luck, the Machiavellian maneuvering that is McConnell’s trademark is a mystery, a mystery that the President regards as dangerous and potentially disruptive to his agenda.
