The first round of the Democratic Debates featured some remarkable moments and caused a lot of buzz in the media but it didn’t seem to have much effect on the polls. Kamala Harris’ move up to the double-digit club (where she joined Joe Biden, Bernie Sanders and Elizabeth Warren) seems to be the only shift. This means that all of the other contenders are going to be trying even harder to get attention.
The second round will start on Tuesday, July 30. This will be the day before the New Moon and a day when the Sun will be square Uranus. All of the candidates should be feeling a surge of New Moon energy and an urge to be original and upset the status quo. Of course, some are going to be better equipped to take advantage of that energy than others.
Unfortunately, we have a complete horoscope for only one of the contenders in this section of Round Two. That is Marianne Williamson. For the other I will be using a partial horoscope done for noon on their date of birth. Click on the name of the candidate to see a previous article and the horoscope.
Back in Feb. I stated that, because of aspects in his chart, Robert Mueller’s report would either be released in April 2019 or much later this year. Of course, it was released on April. 18. This was good timing for the President. Transiting Jupiter was opposed to his Sun and conjunct his Moon, giving him a boost of good fortune. The Mueller Report did not directly link President Trump with any crimes and he was able to say he was “exonerated.” However, a more careful reading of the report seemed to make that claim, at best, premature.
It would seem that Mueller was hoping that he could drop his report off at the Justice Dept. and forget about it. That’s not been the case. He’s already had to make one public statement on the report and now he’s going to be asked to clarify parts of it to Congress. Some people are betting that his testimony will finally force open the floodgates of Democratic will and jumpstart impeachment proceedings. Others assure us that Mueller’s testimony will be every bit as cryptic and non-committal as was his report.
I assume that Mueller is not pleased to called to testify before congress. Leo’s don’t like repeating themselves. But the fact is that on Wednesday, the partial horoscope we have for Mueller (click on Robert Mueller to see a chart done for noon on his date of birth) is lighting up like a Christmas tree.
Lately the news has been full of references to “The Squad”, four progressive congresswomen who have set themselves against the status quo and Nancy Pelosi, and who have more recently become a favorite punching bag for Donald Trump and the object of xenophobic chants at his rallies.
I have already written about two of these women, Ilhan Omar and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (click on the names to see the articles) so I decided it was only fair that I look at the charts of the other two: Rashida Tlaib and Ayana Pressley. Of course, we don’t have a time of birth for these women so I've done partial horoscopes done for noon on their date of birth. (Click on Rashida Tlaib and Ayana Pressley to see the charts.)
The first thing I notice was that these two women came from an older generation than Omar and A.O.C. Tlaib and Pressley are from the generation with Neptune in Sagittarius and Pluto in Libra. This is an idealistic generation. A lot of the young men and women who joined the U.S. military after 9/11 were from this generation. Of course, so were the young men who perpetrated that attack.
In my analysis of the New Moon (and eclipse) chart for July 2 (click here to see the article and the chart) I had predicted that there would be some sort of sensational revelation in the news. I also thought that the situation on the Mexican border would be getting more attention. We got both, with the Epstein affair blowing up the internet and reports from a congressional delegation decrying the conditions in which immigrant are being housed. Even Mike Pence was forced to hold his nose when he toured a facility.
Fortunately, the wide aspect between Mars and Uranus in that chart did not produce a worsening of the situation between the U.S. and Iran, though the announcement that Iran was upping the game in its nuclear program was certainly not helpful. Also, my hope that, with the eclipse taking place in the Ninth House of philosophy, we would have a thoughtful review of the great principles on which this country was founded, proved to be dead wrong. Instead we ended the lunation period with the President tweeting what many regard as racist insults at congresswomen.
