Crises Unfolding

The February 16 Celestial Wheel entry, The Buildup To Crisis, introduced the idea that planetary afflictions in February would bring Trump's administration into crisis.

It seems his muted speech before Congress signaled a retreat from his aggressive actions which had negative results -- the botched Somali raid, Flynn stepping down, being increasingly called on his endless lying.... The strategy was to calm the waters.

That hasn't panned out, for Trump is again tweeting insults.  Well, a pet dog that refused to be house trained made it one full day without crapping on the rug, doesn't mean he's cured!

And scandal hit again with Attorney General Sessions embroiled in the Russian spying issue.  That the man in charge of law enforcement lied before Congress is about as bad as it gets.  That's even worse than the EPA administrator poisoning his neighbors' water wells!

Unfortunately for Trump (but fortunate for most of the rest of us) is that Venus goes retrograde today..  That backwards motion keeps her in Pisces for way beyond her usual 30 days -- until the end of May.  Exalted in Pisces, Venus does her best there, and being across from Jupiter, stimulates Venus' significations further -- romance, beauty, creativity, wealth, humanitarianism, grace, sensitivity, peace and contentment, joy, beauty, the arts, adornments, pleasures of all kinds....

This is bad for Trump because Pisces is hit eighth house of scandal, even downfall.  The eighth is like the sign of Scorpio -- deep, dark and chocked full of challenging karmas that surface when planets transit through.  Venus in Trump's chart rules his third house of close associates and tenth house of career.  (His Venus thereby carries these energies.)  Look for Jeff Sessions to suffer further, and other close associates come under fire for their hidden transgressions --secrets revealed that reside in the eighth house.  And anticipate Trump's career will suffer. As Venus is one of the female planets, look for women in Trump's life to also come under fire.

This is good for the rest of us because Venus falls in one of  twelve houses -- some very good, some just strong and others weakly harmful.  (Only Leo rising charts, like Trump's have Pisces being the terrible eighth house.) Thus, the general population, nations too, will experience the wonderful Venusian karmas listed above.

Buzz Saw Coming

The last few Celestial Wheel entries have focused upon the multiple planetary afflictions hitting, and continuing, on Trump's Vedic chart.

With the eclipse season over, these remain:

Jupiter is weakly retrograde (until June 9) -- staking the wind out of his sails
Venus transits Pisces until May 30 -- bringing Pisces' eighth house of calamity energy

Recall the (above) March 3 entry, Crises Unfolding, explained how Trump's Venus is his planet of close associates and career, Venus in Trump's chart rules his third house of close associates and tenth house of career. (His Venus thereby carries these energies.)  The Jeff Sessions scandal hit the very next day!  Trump went ballistic and tweated the claim Obama had wiretapped him, which nastiness must boomerang back at him.  There's certainly more scandals, even downfalls, to come! (And doesn't Trump losing his temper signal increasing mental instability that can lead to the predicted nervous breakdown?)

There's the additional quality of Venus being retrograde, making her energy reverse, go backward in time, which means bringing up karmas from the past.  Expect, then, the eighth house's hidden Venusian secrets will often be from the past -- nefarious deeds about his close associates and his own career.

Another interesting Venusian quality in this chart is that, in ruling the third house of desires, desire fulfillment is often held back because birth chart Venus is in the twelfth house of loss, conjunct immovable Saturn.  This karma is accentuated now with transit Venus in the eighth and retrograde.  No wonder then that Trump lost his temper last Friday -- Venus' day of the week -- resulting in his fleeing to Mar a Lago and having a tweet storm early the next morning. (This is another forewarning for the predicted nervous breakdown.)

And here's the buzz saw coming.  The below charts for today and March 14 show Mercury and the Sun now in Aquarius and then moving together in Pisces.

Below are the critical dates,

Mercury goes into Pisces March 10 to March 26
The Sun transits Mercury March 14 to April 12
Mercury and the Sun will be together in Pisces March 14 to March 26

For reference, here's Trump's chart showing Pisces is his eighth house.

Mercury in the eighth blurts things out, often mean or cruel.  Expect more nastiness from Trump.  Mercury is the nervous system, and the eighth puts even stress there for a nervous breakdown. As Mercury rules the eleventh house of major goals, his major agenda items will be thwarted. The Sun is the self and career for Trump.  The eighth house transit will harm both.  Regarding the former, the Sun is the heart, suggesting this transit could bring the predicted cardiac illness. As for the latter, his career -- credibility and popularity -- are sure to crater. Again, nervous system stress increases. March 14 to 26 is a sensitive interval for Trump to land in the emergency room with either/both a nervous breakdown or cardiac event.

Today, March 10, Mercury enters Pisces to join retrograde Venus. This was explained in the March 3 Celestial Wheel entry,

Below are the critical dates,

Mercury goes into Pisces March 10 to March 26
The Sun transits Mercury March 14 to April 12
Mercury and the Sun will be together in Pisces March 14 to March 26

The (above) March 3 Celestial Wheel entry described this planetary karma on Trump's chart,

Not mentioned is that Pisces is Mercury's fallen sign -- its weakest sign position.  This means that Mercury's intellect becomes foolish, impatient and impulsive.  And Mercury's signification for the nervous system is weakened, making Trump overly sensitive, a nervous nelly, prone to temper tantrums, even paranoia.

The combination with Venus stimulates excessive creativity, which can bring impractical, even deranged, ideas.

And when the egotistic, yet fearful, Sun joins Mercury and Venus in Pisces, Trump will becomes even more dogmatic, autocratic, demanding, insulting and totally furious.

These are naturally negative for achieving, or even advancing, any of his policy goals -- Muslim travel ban, health care law, Mexican border wall, infrastructure projects, tax cuts, deregulation....  And remember, he has hidden enemies from distant places, which suggests the Russian influence issue will boil hotter and hotter on the stove.

These planetary dispositions, being transits, naturally have a global reach. If Congress only bickers, we'll be lucky. It seems more likely there will be major battles among the various groups within the Republican party and also against the Democrats, who will also act with excess and foolishly. Certainly, no legislation of any merit will be passed.

This today article, The Most powerful check on President Trump, is a bulls eye here for also identifying this month as crunch time for Trump to fail on making good his promises,

To bring Lincoln's famous quote up to the present,

You can lie to some of the people all the time,
and all the people some of the time,
but you cannot lie to all the people all the time

Trump Is Now Into The Buzz Saw

The March 7 Celestial Wheel entry, explained that Mercury, and then the Sun, joining Venus in Pisces is a Buzz Saw Coming for Trump because Pisces is his eighth house of calamity. Here again are the critical dates,

Mercury goes into Pisces March 10 to March 26
The Sun transits Mercury March 14 to April 12
Mercury and the Sun will be together in Pisces March 14 to March 26

And here's the chart again for March 14 -- today!

Considering these three planets' inherent natures, along with the houses they rule (which energies they carry with them) and how they behave in Pisces, specific predictions for Trump Troubles were made.  The March 7 Buzz Saw Coming voiced these but bookended entries -- March 3 Crisis Unfolding and March 10 You Can't Lie To All The People All The time contained further information.  Here's a listing of significations from all three entries,

Sensitive areas

Close associates
Friends
Major goals and groups
Career

Specific issues

Foolish, impatient and impulsive -- blurting things out
Excessive creativity, which can bring impractical, even deranged, ideas
Dogmatic, autocratic, demanding, insulting and totally furious
Hidden secrets from the past -- nefarious deeds about his close associates and his own career

Health vulnerabilities

Heart
Nervous system
Emergency room

(Note: There are some further health issues -- stroke, right eye, the face.)

The overall impacts of these planetary karmas deny Trump any of his major policy goals and his being discredited -- wasting his political capital.

Already we've seen some major setbacks: Jeff Sessions withdrawing from the Russian hacking issue, walking back the lie that Obama hacked his Trump tower phones and widespread criticism of Trumpcare.  And these have happened before the full and deadly assemblage of Mercury, Sun and Venus in Pisces!

So, yes, there's a buzz saw coming, and begins cutting hard now through March 24. Mickey Mouse, of course, escaped, but cartoons always have happy endings. The real world -- not so much, SAD.

In closing, recall the February 3 entry, The Hollow Man, which explained that Trump being born on a total lunar eclipse resulted in his being thrown out every 29 years,

Trump will likely survive this month's buzz saw, but he will be bruised and battered for it.  This coming summer and fall, when restrictive Saturn crosses his all-important Moon two more times, will insure he's thrown out.

Thus, Trump will have performed his karmic duty to destroy old and inbred politicians, philosophies and institutions -- to clear the way for the Second Progressive Age.  Recall Saturn is the destroyer and the creator. It destroys that which is no longer necessary to make room for the new.

Since The Celestial Wheel began rolling along in 2002, I've always had something to write -- always!  I've published on a weekly schedule, sometimes more often, once in a great while infrequently.

Except now.  It's been over two weeks since the last entry March 14.  Nothing has come to mind.

In the interim, I've monitored the results of predictions this month (above) for Trump suffering losses, even catastrophe, made in those four sequential entries: March 3 Crisis Unfolding, March 7 Buzz Saw Coming, March 10 You Can't Lie To All The People All The Time and March 14 Trump Is Now Into The Buzz Saw.  Review these March entries to see the building karmic tsunami of three planets -- Mercury, Venus and Sun -- in Pisces, Trump's eighth house of turmoil -- along with his great Jupiter being weakly retrograde.

The political and career predictions came true - in spades.  Trump has faced many crises and lost significant battles, most notably the travel ban court rulings and failing to repeal Obamacare.  This last fell right in the most sensitive interval -- March 14 to 26.  The House abandoned its repeal and replace bill last Friday, March 24.  He is increasingly distrusted now.  His political capital is largely exhausted.  The only area that has not actualized is health issues -- at least to our knowledge.

The issue of not publishing seems not to be writer's block, or even spring fever, but rather that of personal exhaustion.  I wrote about this in the February 3 entry, The Hollow Man, Trump's endless barrage of half truths and confusing aggressions against foreign countries and their leaders, along daily extreme, even bizarre, barbs shot at U.S. companies, policies and individuals is absolutely nerve wracking.  Jon Stewart described this perfectly, 'Late Show': Jon Stewart rips 'exhausting' Trump orders, 'vindictive chaos'.  This guy never stops, never gives up, keeps punching and counter-punching until he wear his opponents down and out, and then he finds new folks to badger.

Yes, Trump has a powerful chart.  That's obvious.  His Treasury Secretary, said it best in this March 24 article, Mnuchin: Trump has 'perfect genes,' has given ulp KFC. The last paragraph is a classic, "Since he got to the White House, he doesn't eat KFC anymore and McDonald's," Mnuchin said. "There is great food there.  Let me tell you."

However, fear not!  The March 14 entry stated, Trump will likely survive this month's buzz saw, but he will be bruised and battered for it.  This coming summer and fall, when restrictive Saturn crosses his all-important Moon two more times, will insure he's thrown out.  And his health must suffer, even with great food at the White House!

There, I finally wrote something.  

Now for another well deserved nap.
