The Bell Tolls for Thee

Trump
The February 26 Mars Attacking Trump detailed Trump's soon to become road kill -- when transit Mars finishes his third pass over Trump's Rahu and Sun on March 12.  Included, however, was the qualifying statement, This new February 22 to June 13 third level Jupiter Dasa planet is naturally auspicious, but is it truly protective enough to ward off Trump's legal enemies?  Perhaps a few will fall by the wayside, but some must bring wounding strikes that can be mortal.  Let's see what happens.

As we all know now, Trump's announcement he would be indicted March 21 was early, as the actual indictment date was this past Thursday, March 30.

Here is an image of Trump's Dasas showing this third level Jupiter (Ju) cycle that yields to Saturn (Sa) on June 13. 



Since second subperiod
restrictive Saturn (Sa) follows Trump's expansive Jupiter Dasa from June 13 to October 22, we must expect his troubles will deepen into real road kill this summer.  Adding in destructive Mars' transit, the March 7 A Tough Road Ahead  stated,

As for Trump, previous Celestial Wheels have explained that this Mars transit in Taurus ending March 12 is tremendously destructive  -- road kill.  But so will be Mars transits through Gemini and Cancer.   As Trump's role is to destroy the existing political system, and then blow himself up, he paves the way into a new society -- the Second Progressive Age.  


The dates for these Mars transits are:  Gemini -- March 12, to May 9 and Cancer -- May 10 to June 30.  As Cancer is Trump's twelfth house of loss, where his vulnerable birth chart Saturn and Venus are placed, this May/June Cancer transit is destructive. 

Combining the Saturn Dasa subperiod with Mars transiting Cancer gives an overlap in the last half of June.  This congruency of the malefic Saturn Dasa with the malefic Mars transit enables a firm prediction. 
Remember, when Dasas and transits line up, accurate predictions can be made.  It would seem that further indictments must come before and during latter June -- the Georgia voter fraud case and the two Federal cases for January 6 and the classified documents Trump took and withheld.  The Bell Tolls For Thee Mr. Trump.

U.S

For the U.S., the March 7 A Tough Road Ahead  also predicted, ...the next 5 years will be tough.  Most intense and immediate is Saturn's transit across the all important Moon,

Although slow Saturn entered Aquarius January 17, it is also now very close to the Moon at 5:40°.  Due to an upcoming retrograde, Saturn will cross the Moon 3 times by year's end.  Yikes!  This transit match-up with the Rahu-Saturn Dasa brings a strong and notable destructive karma which cannot be avoided, nor denied.  Because the Moon rules the terrible 8th house, transit Saturn brings intense lunar emotions and worldly destructions in many areas -- from politics to weather...  Saturn, the planet of loss and separation, naturally nails this sensitive Moon, stimulating further America's 8th house of the occult mystical paranoia.  (Note, Saturn remains in Aquarius until March 2025 and thus continues to harm the Moon.)


That forecast also discussed destructive Mars, now transiting through Gemini in the U.S. chart,

...destructive energy on 4 planets in this 7th house of relationship breaks up relationships and associations, both current and long-standing (As the god of storms, Mars also disrupted the environment -- a second karma to Saturn on the Moon.  Mars enters Geminis March 13 and leaves that sign May 10. he then Transits Caner, the 8th house of turmoil where to planets are placed. This Cancer transit is May 11 to July 1.  This transit is even more destructive and further energizes mystical paranoia.

These extremely tough Dasas of Rahu-Saturn and transits of Saturn and Mars explain the tremendous storms, especially tornadoes, mass murders and other harms the media has been reporting daily.  It also gives reason to the potential violences by Trump supporters and other right-wingers as Trump's criminal problems continue and increase.

Hold your hat.

Eclipses Are Coming  -- Eclipses Are Coming



With the country, indeed the globe, in turmoil, we don't need, and certainly don't welcome, the destabilizing effects eclipses bring.

But two eclipses are upon us, and we should appreciate them for moving the progressivism ball down the field.  At the same time, take care of ourselves through prudence and openness to information.  This last results because eclipses both block and reveal -- as the Sun darkens the sky, the stars shine.

Keep in mind that eclipse effects begin a couple of weeks before the astronomical event and last a week or so after.  Also remember, if an eclipse is within 2 degrees of a planet in a chart -- including yours -- that planet will be eclipsed (blocked), which effects can linger for up to 6 months.  This is called a hit.

First is a total solar eclipse April 20.  Solar eclipses are more powerful than lunar eclipses, and a total solar eclipse is the most potent of all.  The eclipse maximum is 00:12 AM EDT, and the location is 5:40° Aries.  This location is important because the Sun is exalted in Aries -- his most powerful and favorable sign.  Thus, the eclipse will be energetically dramatic.  (Think of a flashlight turning off, and then on again compared to the light a lighthouse beacon flashing. The latter  is blinding.)  To rile the celestial waters further, Mercury, the planet of communications, will turn retrograde the very next day.  Confused and excessive responses to events will result.  This eclipse will only be visible in the far east.  The Sun is the father, confidence and power, the right eye, head and the skeleton, notably the lower back.  All are sensitive.

The U.S.'s and Trump's charts are not hit by this eclipse, but ti does promise to bring rough karmic seas.  But Joe Biden's chart is hit hard.  His 7th house Moon at 7:23° Aries is just under 2° from the 5:40° eclipse.  Newly out of his expansive Jupiter Dasa  (planetary cycle) and into his restrictive 19 year Saturn cycle, his denouement* can become evident then.  Expect issues with relationships, career, the public and governmental officials. 

(*See the January 13 Joe Biden's Denouement)

A lunar eclipse (maximum) follows on May 5 at 1:30 PM ET.  The location is Libra 20:47°.  This is a weak prenumbral eclipse, meaning the Moon only passes behind the earth's outer shadow, as shown in the image below.  Looking up at the sky, this eclipse will be so dim, it may pass unnoticed.




Again, this eclipse doesn't hit the U.S. chart, nor Trump's.  But it does hit Biden's 19:30° Mars.  It would seem that any difficulties Biden experiences from the solar eclipse will receiving a bump form this lunar eclipse.  (Note: this eclipse does hit this astrologer's 20:47 Mercury exactly!  Yikes!)

In closing, other nations and leaders may also be blocked by either eclipse -- leading to abrupt and even extreme events.

Tenuous times



The April 13 Eclipses Are Coming -- Eclipses Are Coming described how potent the early morning April 20 total solar eclipse would be,

 ...5:40° Aries.  This location is important because the Sun is exalted in Aries -- his most powerful and favorable sign.  Thus, the eclipse will be energetically dramatic.  (Think of a flashlight turning off, and then on again compared to the light a lighthouse beacon flashing. The latter is blinding.)  To rile the celestial waters further, Mercury, the planet of communications, will turn retrograde the very next day.  Confused and excessive responses to events will result. 


And here's the timing, eclipse effects begin a couple of weeks before the astronomical event and last a week or so after

Well, even if you doubt current events reflect this eclipse energy -- both blocking and revealing -- the flurry of intense happenings must relate to something!

3 dead after 8 tornadoes hit Oklahoma, officials say. There were at least 15 reported tornadoes across three states Wednesday (night).  The havoc continued for two more days as the storm moved east.

This headline speaks for itself, Another American Airlines plane catches fire days after separate plane fire.

The April 19 quick email to subscribers clarifying eclipse times ended with, Note, we've already had a big solar eclipse event yesterday in FOX settling the Dominion lawsuit for a whopping 787 million dollars.  Clarence Thomas's revealed secreted incomes are also a big event.  Stay tuned!

Today Tucker Carlson of Fox News was fired and was Don Lemon of CNN.

So, these are indeed Tenuous Times.

Below is the transit chart for today showing both the intensity and instability of the planetary energies.

The Sun is close to eclipse point Rahu, which brought the eclipse.  Although the eclipse is over, this continued serpent energy on the Sun (self) remains.

Mercury is, of course, retrograde, throwing communications and the nervous system into disarray.  Mercury will remain in confusing retrograde until May 15.  During this interim, Mercury will cross both the Sun and Rahu, which can only weaken and stress it further.  Mercury is combust (burnt) by the Sun and eclipsed (blocked) by Rahu.

Jupiter just transited out of Pisces and into Aries, but he's weak at the edge of the sign -- can't be protective.

Saturn, the great malefic, throws a troublesome aspect (glance) to Aries, very close to the Sun and Rahu.  The former is compromised and the latter is vengeful.

Transits April 24


 
Expect more turmoil -- but understand this is continued cleansing paving the way to The Second Progressive Age.

In closing, some humor about Mr. Bobblehead, Florida governor Ron Desantis in Japan. Ya gotta watch this.


I'm not a candidate, so we'll see if and when that changes

Keeping Up With Rahu



Way back after Bush was reelected in 2004, I was befuddled and wrote a history of the U.S.  I wanted to understand why that occurred.


These two forecasts are in the Celestial Wheel archives, here and here.


I recently corresponded with a futurist, David Houle, who lives nearby my Venice home in Sarasota Florida.  I offered a summary of this forecast and include it below as a reminder -- unless you can remember any forecast I composed almost two decades ago!

Hi David, and thanks for responding to my suggestion to discuss economic variables.

I saw your "Shift Age" information and wish to share that we both look ahead, albeit through different lenses.  I hope you find the below of some value.  Interestingly, we share some traits.  We're both 74 years old.  I was born in Seneca Falls and went to Bucknell and Cornell -- close to your Syracuse alma mater.  We both live in Sarasota.  We both look to the past to anticipate the future.  We both have multiple careers and are writers.

I understand history and anticipate the future through Vedic (Hindu) cycles, which I've been doing since 2002.  I believe the U.S. is currently in a cycle of transformation, which I've termed the Second Progressive Age.

These cycles have different lengths from 6 to 20 years and and all 9 total 120 years.  These cycles then repeat.  With the U.S. (since the Declaration of Independence) is 246 years the nation is beginning its third cycles set.  The first cycle in the set is a serpent (eclipse point Rahu) lasting18 years and is absolutely transformational.  This is not to say other cycles do not bring significant change, as our history is a roller coaster -- but rather that this cycle carries the most karma for change and is foundational to the nation.

This cycle transforms by activating what I've termed America's "mystical paranoia."  Mysticism naturally includes the occult that seeks union with god --but also cults.  America's Great Awakenings and continued mystical religions and churches are deeply woven into society.  Paranoia, from delving into the hidden depths of the occult, includes fears of foreigners and especially dark skinned people and others who are "different." There's also fear of being "under attack" by government officials, eminent persons and other authority figures.  These fears boil over into rebellion against autocratic influences to gain freedom and independence.  "Don't tread on me."  The karma here is destroying today and creating tomorrow.  Tomorrow emerges by filling the void with a more mature society of "shared democratic values."  To help create that tomorrow, there's a tremendous boost from research and inventions, especially conveyances --  brought out of the hidden dark and into the light.   The totality of each cycle cannot be known until the end of the cycle, but transformation is massive.  History repeats but not exactly.

Below is this cycle repeating 3 times with signal events included.  With the third cycle still underway, there's more guessing than actual history.  I've made some guesses for this still new and emerging 18 year cycle.

1775 - 1793  Revolt against the English King top create an independent democracy
1776  Declaration of Independence
1781  Articles of Confederation
