Following the order of their commander and chief, protestors have taken over the Capitol Building of the United States, forcing members of Congress to flee to their offices and stopping the final certification of the results of the 2020 election. These folks apparently think that they’ve accomplished something historic, but what they’ve really done is demonstrate the efficacy of the Sibly Chart for the United States.
In the Sibly Chart, Mercury is opposed to Pluto (click here to see that chart). Currently transiting Pluto (at 24 degrees 23 minutes of Capricorn) is almost exactly opposite the Sibly Mercury while transiting Mercury (at 27 degrees 18 minutes) is almost exactly conjunct the Sibly Pluto. Here we have a unique situation in which the transiting aspects reiterates the natal aspects.
The natal opposition between Mercury and Pluto in the U.S.chart can be interpreted in various ways. Mercury has to do with the flow of communication and intellect. The opposition to Pluto blocks this flow and creates an intellectual stalemate in which real debate and discussion is impossible.
I had an article prepared for this week in which I talked about the opposition by transiting Pluto to Donald Trump’s natal Venus that will dominate his chart for just about all of 2021. I was waiting to release it because the aspect isn’t yet within a one degree orb, which is the standard that I use in judging when an aspect will be effective. However, aspects have a greater range when they are applying (moving toward exact) than when they are separating (moving away from exact) and we’re seeing evidence of that right now.
Pluto opposite Venus is an aspect that makes it difficult for you to trust other people. It also makes it difficult for you to get other people to cooperate with you. This aspect would represent a difficult time in any person’s life, but is particular troublesome for someone like Donald Trump, who values loyalty above all else and has grown used to having people rush to please him.
On Jan. 8, 2021 at 7:00 PM EST I will be presenting a lecture via Zoom to the Astrological Society of Kentucky on what we can expect from 2021. I will cover transiting aspects for the coming year, the horoscope of the United States,and what's in store for Joe Biden, Donald Trump and Kamala Harris in 2021. My good friend, Mary Keswani will also be speaking. This is an annual event for the A.S.K. and it is always exciting. It’s also free.

Following the Moon: Dec. 29, 2020
In my analysis of the Dec. 14, New Moon chart I had predicted a violent event. (Click here to see that article and chart.) We got that in the bombing in Nashville on Christmas Day. I also said that the incident would have limited impact. Fortunately, the only person killed in that explosion was the bomber himself.
I thought that the placement of Saturn and Jupiter in the Twelfth House indicated that congress would fail in its attempt to pass a second stimulus package. In this case, I underestimated the sextile to those two planets by Venus in the Ninth. The bill passed only to be held up by the President’s refusal to sign it. Trump finally signed it on the last day of this lunation.
I felt that the trine to Mars by the Sun and Moon in the New Moon chart would help get the distribution of the COVID-19 vaccine off to a speedy start. I thought it might turn out to be too speedy. Instead, we had criticism that some members of Congress were too speedy, jumping to the head of the line to get the vaccine. The fact that some of these people were Republicans who had previously supported President Trump in downplaying the virus raised a few eyebrows.
