The Full Moon chart for Feb. 27 featured a strong emphases on the Second and Eighth Houses and, as I predicted, the major issue during this past lunation period was the COVID relief bill. (Click here to see the article and the chart.) Despite, opposition from Republicans, that bill passed and has been signed into law.
I also mentioned that the ongoing square between transiting Saturn and Uranus was reflected in the current split in the Republican Party. The Uranian side of that divide was on top during this lunation, with Republicans united in their effort to disrupt the relief bill and Donald Trump and his friends taking over C-PAC. But that transit still has a long way to go.
I was optimistic about the trine between Mars and Pluto in that Full Moon chart. I felt that, despite the war-like properties of those two planets, it was a positive indicator. I think that came through in President Biden’s speech to the nation this week in which he framed our response to the pandemic as a war.
We already knew a lot about the interview of Prince Harry and the Duchess of Sussex (formerly Meghan Markle) even before it was televised last night. CBS has been dropping teasers all week. Still, we have to assume that there’s going to be fall out over what the couple said. The Duchess was quite outspoken in her complaints about life as a royal. However, the astrology of the situation tells us that it’s going to be Harry, not his wife, for whom this event will have major consequences.
In the horoscope of Prince Harry (click here to see the chart) transiting Saturn is nearing a square to his natal Saturn. This is an important Saturn Cycle aspect. These transits, which occur every seven years or so, typically mark a turning point in a person’s life. That turning point can be quiet and internal or it can be noisy and external depending on the chart and the person’s circumstances.
I’ve been wanting to write about the problems that have beset New York governor Andrew Cuomo for a while but every time I go to do it a new scandal emerges. It started with an allegation of sexual harassment back in Dec. Then came the admission that Cuomo had not allowed COVID-19 deaths in nursing homes to be fully reported. The was followed by two more women claiming Cuomo had made sexual advances to them. Now people are calling for the governor’s resignation and he’s the subject of an investigation.
Of course, Cuomo is not the first politician to get caught in a scandal, or even in multiple scandals. What make this situation special is that last year, when New York City was ground zero for the COVID-19 outbreak, Cuomo had come across as the liberal alpha male, a guy who took the virus seriously and was doing something about it.
Since the Feb. 11, New Moon chart featured Neptune at the Midheaven, (click here to see the article and the chart) I figured that something was going to throw a monkey wrench into the distribution of the COVID-19 vaccine. That something turned out to be the weather. The artic blast that consumed much of the country during this lunation gummed up the works in many ways and made a lot of people, particular public officials, appear ineffectual.
I was premature in my prediction that the COVID-19 stimulus package would be passed, though the House version has been sent to the Senate.. Of course, we also had Donald Trump’s second impeachment trial during this lunation. That ended as expected, with a lot of inflammatory rhetoric (Mars square Mercury) and some artful dodging and twisted logic by Trump’s supporters (Neptune on the M.C.).
