This is a direct email entry.

A Karmic Challenge to Trump The August 30 direct email VedicLeaks entry, A Peek Into September, now posted to the web, began with this except from the concluding section of the August 19 entry, The August 30 entry first explained the instability this month arises from four difficult transits, Summarily: The solar eclipse blocks the ego; Venus fallen weakens diplomacy; Mercury retrograde causes confusions; Saturn's aspect to Rahu brings a hard push ahead and victimizing; and Mars in Scorpio stimulates destructions/violences of all kinds.   That entry then focused upon the Mars transit, which stands out for Donald Trump,  Here's Trump's Vedic chart, Mars is currently at 18 degrees Scorpio, approaching the all-important perceptional Moon at a rapid clip.  Mars will be within striking ranging of the Moon (23 degrees) on September 6.  Although he's already lost the presidential race, this is when Trump will really lose it emotionally -- sealing the deal with Trump the winner forced into being a loser. Yes, the challenging transits will bring him more headwinds.  And equally importantly, Saturn crossing the Moon (called Sadi Sati) is tremendously harmful to Trump -- just as it was 29 years ago, when Saturn last crossed the Moon, stimulating overspending and borrowing that wrecked his casino empire. But, the key planetary influence here is warrior Mars striking his emotional Moon -- the bubble must truly burst.   Today, then, Mars is lashing out at Trump's Moon, and his attacks on Trump's emotional/perceptional/public mind will intensify until the exact conjunction just after midnight September 15 -- next Thursday. Beyond this, the transiting Moon just entered Scorpio this morning.  So, transit Mars is attacking both birth chart and transit Moons -- a double hit.  The Moon continues in Scorpio until late Friday afternoon.  The rest of this week will reverberate. Watch the news, especially tonight's NBC News Presents the First-Ever Commander-in-Chief Forum. During this one-hour forum, both Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump will be on stage back-to-back taking questions on national security, military affairs and veterans issues from NBC News and an audience comprised mainly of military veterans and active service members. The event will air live on MSNBC at 8 p.m. ET and will be simulcast live on NBC in most markets. The above excerpt from August 30 also discussed the U.S. chart, Another significant shift is the U.S. Vedic chart changes planetary cycles (Dasas) from Rahu/Rahu/Jupiter to Rahu/Rahu/Saturn on September 5.  This Jupiter subcycle is protective, as per Jupiter's nature, as well as his expansive power in this chart for wealth, wisdom, good fortune.  Most valuably, Jupiter is the glue that holds the nation together.  (Remember, even the Civil War couldn't end the union.)   Saturn's nature opposes Jupiter, for it is the planet of contraction, delays, obstacles, loss, death, authority.... but these significations taken together also make Saturn the planet of reality, and hence duty and responsibility.   This change is of major import and will shape the remainder of the presidential election cycle.  Look to the fighting to become diatribes, or worse, as this Dasa combination for pushing ahead relentlessly and victimizing exerts itself. Because Rahu in the U.S. chart is in the eighth house of turmoil, expect unexpected reversals to occur, which will further stimulate fear and hate. With transit Rahu is in the ninth house of religion, philosophy and higher knowledge, bizarre philosophies and beliefs have already emerged, as we can see from Trump's influence.  Because transit Saturn very closely aspects transit Rahu, these can become even more fanatical. Considering both Trump's chart and that U.S. chart, it appears then, that Trump is on his way to finish blowing himself up.  But he continues to have a ready, even devoted audience, for this ranting and raving.   America's Mystical Paranoia is in full bloom. Moon, Saturn and Mars on September 7   Remember, you can readily see Saturn and Mars together in evil Scorpio this past summer and for the next couple of weeks.  Mars leaves Scorpio September 18 -- thankfully! Also, from the sky map in this article, you can see Mars has moved away from Saturn -- since they conjoined August 24. Saturn is now at 16 degrees and Mars is at 23 degrees -- 7 degrees apart.  This distance in a separating situation reduces their harms in watery Scorpio.  Hurricane activity in the US, and truly throughout the globe, may very well be finished.  Earth crust events are also much less likely now. This is good, of course. It does not, however, obviate in any way the information I offered in the direct email VedicLeaks I sent out earlier today -- A Karmic Challenge to Trump.

September Instability Check

   The August 30 VedicLeaks entry, A Peek Into September, described instability this month brought by six tough transits --  solar and lunar eclipses, Mercury retrograde, Venus fallen in Virgo,  Mars and Saturn continuing conjunction in Scorpio and Saturn's close aspect (glance) to Rahu.  Six is a lot!  After all, there are only nine Vedic planets.

     Excepting for the eclipses, these unfavorable dispositions are easily seen the below chart for today,

  Here's a rundown on these. 

     Eclipses, because the word means what is says -- block -- create instability, which induces fear and uncertainty. We had a solar  eclipse on September 1 and a lunar tomorrow.

     Mercury retrograde brings both confusions and nervousness.

     Venus fallen is bad for diplomacy and also for relationship, joy and hope.

     Mars and Saturn stimulate stresses of all kinds -- anger, frustration, violences, disease, watery storms and scandals.

     Saturn aspecting Rahu stimulates hard aggression, relentlessness and victimizing.

     We've seen these planetary karmas in the news and our own personal experiences.   

     In addition, the U.S. Vedic chart's planetary cycles (Dasas) changed from Rahu/Rahu/Jupiter to Rahu/Rahu/Saturn on September 5.  The influence is the same for transit Saturn aspecting transit Rahu -- which doubles up the karma.  The above September 7 entry is worth repeating,

     Getting back to Trump for a moment, VedicLeaks pointed out on September 7 that Mars was  then within striking distance of Trump's perceptional Moon, with an exact conjunction today -- Although he's already lost the presidential race, this is when Trump will really lose it emotionally -- sealing the deal with Trump the winner forced into being a loser.  From his really dastardly statements at the September 7 Commander And Chief Forum (mixing the sexes causes rapes, the generals are rubble, Putin is a great leader...) to the emerging scandals involving his faux charity, to his foreign business dealings, Trump has taken a lot of hits this past week.

   The Atlantic Magazine article, The Many Scandals of Donald Trump: A Cheat Sheet, is great reading.  And this from Newsweek will knock your socks off, How the Trump Organizations Foreign Business Ties Could Upend U.S. National Security.

    While the Mars transit is particularly rough for Trump, he's also been hit by the other tough transits, as has Hillary Clinton.  Recent polls show him having advanced, but the dust hasn't settled yet.  Wait a little to see how this prediction for his loss plays out.  Certainly the media is toughening up on Trump, and the presidential debates will be telling.  The first is on September 26.

Now to The Good News

  The below transit chart for September 18 shows improving dispositions for this month's challenging transits.

     The Moon past full signals the eclipse is over, and since this is the last one, the entire eclipse season is winding down.

     Venus is thankfully out of her fallen sign of Virgo and into her own sign of Libra.

     After nearly nine months, Mars is thankfully out of evil Scorpio and away from malefic Saturn.  This should at least mean watery storms are over and other natural disasters and forest fires will abate.  Generally, struggles and stresses will subside.

    Plus, Mercury will turn forward just a few days later on September 22.

     These changes will greatly ease trials and tribulations globally, in your own lives and even in the U.S. -- although its current Rahu/Rahu/Saturn planetary cycles must be troublesome.

    Saturn continues to hammer Rahu and will do so through the first week in October.  But, being lone planetary affliction, with the other planets well disposed, the celestial skies will be on balance calm, even bright.

     So, get ready to be able to relax a little.  Then, with your batteries charged and spirit uplifted, advance your own goals, which hopefully include others suffering in this still stressed society.

Now To The Good News

     The above September 15 entry ended with the section Now To The Good News.  The cause is improving dispositions for this month's challenging transits.  Included was this chart for September 18 to visually illustrate these changes.  The other specifics for the chart are the location of Washington DC and time of 8:36 PM.

     Note that in this chart, Mars had advanced to 00:35 degrees Sagitarius.  He actually left Scorpio nearly a day earlier -- September 17 at 10:20 PM.  Because Mars has been in Scorpio so long -- since January 2016 -- karma had accumulated into a large storehouse of destruction that had not been completely exhausted as he neared the sign edge.  Mars blasted out this remaining karma in the three terrorist attacks this weekend -- just hours before he left Scorpio.  See 2016 New York and New Jersey bombings and Nine Hurt in Minnesota Mall Knife Attack, Suspect Killed. 

Here are the events, including times and bodily harms,

     The New Jersey bomb was first -- September 17 at 9:30 AM.  No one was harmed.

     The New York bomb exploded later that day -- at 8:30 PM.  31 people were injured. 

     The Minnesota knifing rampage occurred at 8:00 PM.  9 people were injured.

     This is interesting, amazing actually, for the astrology being accurate to the day for all 3, and only 2 hours for two of the attacks.  I had not seen this coming, for the U.S. chart was otherwise not greatly afflicted.  This lack of affliction resulted in no one being killed.  Attacks this summer killed dozens, with Orlando alone at 50.

     Although the many injured is unfortunate, the real issue here is that radical terrorism continues and must thereby be a major issue in the upcoming national elections.  I use this term to point out that the presidential election is accompanied by Congressional elections as well as many political contests on state and local levels.  As the second Progressive age is a sea change for U.S. society, we should expect major changes in the political complexions in these lower governmental levels as well.

     Adding in the ongoing unrest about the police shooting black people, and other horrific mistreatments like this -- Chief: Officers Justified in Pepper-Spraying Maryland Girl -- and we have a comprehensive issue of repression by whites against everyone of color.  Perhaps Hillary Clinton was truly on target describing many of Trump's supporters to be a basket of deplorables.

     Ending racism is thereby part of the Second Progressive Age's restoring shared democratic values.  The Celestial Wheel has previously focused upon economic inequality -- the 1% against the rest of us.  Clearly, surging racism against black Americans, plus Trump's racist positions against Hispanics and Muslims have made this issue front and center in this still new Second Progressive Age.

     With the planets better disposed now, the national consciousness can perceive and understand now this societal unfairness being both racial and economic.  These are not separate but rather entwined into a single repulsiveness to be exposed in this national election and then rooted out and ended finally for good.

   Perhaps the first presidential debate this coming Monday will ultimately be about this long overdue cleansing the American soul.
