USA Health – first do no harm?

“The lunatics have taken over the asylum” – said of a situation in which those in charge are incapable of handling their responsibilities, and should rather be put under scrutiny themselves.

 Robert F Kennedy Jnr, an anti-vaccine crank put in charge of US health has fired the respected head of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and chosen a former speechwriter and top aide with no training in medicine or infectious disease science as a replacement. The firing prompted at least three senior CDC officials to quit. One shared a scathing resignation letter online in which he explained he was “unable to serve in an environment that treats CDC as a tool to generate policies and materials that do not reflect scientific reality and are designed to hurt rather than to improve the public’s health.”

 The WP writes: ‘The episode underscores that Kennedy is operating with essentially no meaningful constraints.’

  The Kennedy family were alarmed by RFK Jnr’s support of Trump called it an affront to the memory of their father, Robert F Kennedy.  Caroline Kennedy, a former U.S. ambassador to Australia and daughter of JFK wrote that RFK Jr. was unqualified to lead HHS, which oversees 13 federal agencies, including the Food and Drug Administration, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, and Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services. Her letter to the Senate before his confirmation said that “siblings and cousins who Bobby encouraged down the path of substance abuse suffered addiction, illness and death.” She accused her cousin of lacking any relevant experience for the role and said he holds “dangerous and wilfully misinformed” views on vaccines. “Bobby is addicted to attention and power. Bobby preys on the desperation of parents of sick children — vaccinating his own kids while building a following by hypocritically discouraging other parents from vaccinating theirs.”

 The CDC, 1 July 1946, with a Cancer Sun sextile Mars in Virgo and square Neptune Jupiter is well-designed as a caring entity. But the Solar Arc Pluto square the Saturn in Cancer since the Inauguration has put an immense blockage in its path. That will pass but there will be sinking moments in 2026 with tr Saturn Neptune square the Neptune followed by high insecurity with tr Uranus square the Mars in 2026. Worse by late 2026 into 2027 the Solar Arc Uranus conjunct the Mars does suggest a major emergency.

 What is striking about RFK Jnr’s chart, 17 January 1954 5.32pm (unconfirmed) Washington, DC is his Capricorn Sun Mercury Venus North Node opposing Uranus and square Neptune. Another instance of Uranus not being exactly progressive. More significantly the focal point Neptune in square hints at an inability to face reality and a flagrant refusal to back down even in the face of incontrovertible evidence (Uranus Neptune) – and a tendency to live in fantasyland.  He also has a wide yod of a super-confident Jupiter sextile Pluto inconjunct his North Node Venus Sun in Capricorn.

  He does have his Solar Arc Saturn opposition his Uranus down causing considerable tension at the moment – with a degree of paranoia running rampant as tr Pluto squares his Neptune/Saturn midpoint this year and next and Solar Arc Pluto moving onto a road-block conjunction to his Saturn in Scorpio in 2027, followed by a discouraging tr Pluto square his Saturn in 2028/29. He will grind to a halt eventually – with alarm-bells flashing in his relationship with Trump in 2026 and worse in 2027 as tr Neptune Saturn square the composite Uranus and then oppose the composite Mars. But there’s no saying the damage that will be done along the way.

 As to the question of when the madness will end? On the USA 1776 chart the Solar Arc Sun square SA Saturn is grinding its way across the USA Mars square Neptune. There will be continuing uncertainty with anger erupting after a collision-type event with SA Sun square the USA Mars in early 2026 but the undermining mood won’t disappear until the Solar Arc Sun clears the opposition to Neptune after mid 2027.

 The 2025 Inauguration chart which has a focal point and stressed Moon in the 6^th house of health, employment and government workers which squares a Mars opposition Mercury has just passed the Progressed Moon square Mars recently and is aiming for the Progressed Moon square the Pluto by March 2026 which may be peak-jeopardy/stress level with public anger breaking out (Moon Mars). The Inauguration Neptune is also closing the conjunction to the Pisces North Node and Scheat by August 2026 which may be another staging post as Trump plans sink deeper in a swamp.

 Later in 2027 the Solar Arc Uranus (on the Ascendant) will conjunct the Inauguration Algol for what may be a decisive moment.

  There is a different side to Uranus – when it appears on the Ascendant of this wrecking-ball Inauguration and indeed in Prince Andrew’s 1^st house – and there is zero humanitarian or progressive about him, for sure.
