The USA joined Israel’s fight against Iran by sending in bombers to attack Iran’s nuclear sites. Happening around 3am Iran time, there were two yods of Sun Jupiter sextile Mars inconjunct Pluto – and Pluto sextile Saturn Neptune inconjunct Mars. A Plutonic yod can be coercive; a Martian yod rash and disruptive – and yods do suggest a game-changing phase.
Even MAGA supporters are split on Trump’s decision which could expose thousands of US military personnel across the Middle East to retaliation by Iran and its proxies in the region and goes against Trump’s campaign promises to avoid military entanglements. Conservative media personality Tucker Carlson said there was no justification for attacking Iran, with “zero credible intelligence” to suggest it was “anywhere near” building a nuclear bomb. Steve Bannon said Israel had “essentially forced President Trump’s hand” by starting a war with Iran, knowing it did not have the military capability to finish the job.
The Bombing chart also has the Sun just into Cancer conjunct Jupiter square Saturn Neptune = over hopeful and uncertain.
The Trump Term Inauguration chart has the Progressed Moon approaching a square to the Mars IC within weeks which does suggest heated debates and an aggravated electorate. What is notable are two midpoints – tr Uranus square the Sun/Neptune midpoint and tr Uranus square the Neptune/Pluto midpoint both exactly now – given the Neptune Pluto in particular is associated with nuclear issues; and Ebertin adds his hints of gloom with ‘hyper-sensitive nerves’, obsessions, maybe losses, emotional crises. There will be upheavals and upsets, changes of plan through July/August with tr Uranus moving into Gemini squaring two other key Trump Term midpoints.
The Iran 22 December 1501 chart is certainly showing maximum stress and disappointment over coming months with tr Uranus opposition the Pluto and tr Neptune Saturn square the late Sagittarius Sun into mid 2026.
The Iran 1501/Israel relationship chart has the ‘disaster/nuclear?’ tr Uranus opposition the composite Neptune into mid 2026. The USA/Iran 1501 is less obvious with a tricky-to-interpret tr Uranus conjunct the Jupiter in this July which (being optimistic) could point to a negotiated settlement and relief. Though tr Saturn square the Pluto into 2026 is blocked and heavy going.
Presumably the wager is that Iran and its proxies in the Middle East have been so weakened that the US intervention can be limited and successful, forcing Tehran to quickly seek a settlement rather than retaliating. But there is a risk of inflaming the Middle East further.
Brian Katulis, senior fellow at the Middle East Institute, a Washington think-tank said “It all depends on how the Iranian regime reacts — and it’s not clear what the regime’s capacities and will are at this point. [But] Iran’s network across the region remains operationally lethal, and it is able to sow more instability and terror if it chooses to do so.”
One hope would be that it might collapse the Iran Islamic Republic (the bearded mullahs) whom even the Iranians dislike. Founded 1 April 1979 3pm Teheran, there are signs of stress with the SA Pluto square Venus; SA Mars square the Midheaven; and SA Midheaven square Mars – an emotionally fraught time exactly now though not necessarily the end of the road.
Both the USA and Israel in relationship to the 1979 Iran Islamic Republic chart show continued bad feeling extending from this year and on for several years.
My own feeling (perhaps biased) is not so much that Netanyahu trapped Trump into taking action but more that Trump could not bear to be left on the sidelines (not centre of attention) when a major action was going down.
We wait, watch and see.
Latest: The Iranian parliament has approved the closure of the Strait of Hormuz – a key passage through which 20 per cent of global oil and gas demand flows. It would cause a sharp spike in prices and could temporarily restrict the ability of US warships to exit the Persian Gulf. Major oil producers, including Saudi Arabia and the UAE, rely on the waterway to access the open sea. The Chinese also rely on the Strait of Hormuz for their oil.
Marco Rubio, US Secretary of State said: “It’s economic suicide for them if they do it. It would hurt other countries’ economies a lot more than ours.”

Thank you Marjorie. As usual, you provide a welcome and illuminating break from the information overloads that media provides at times like these.
The comments are always a bonus. Ranging from astrological insights to ideologues venting their spleen. The predictable hyperbole from some of the more passionate regulars can be a bit much, but is fascinating all the same.
Uranus is moving into Gemini in the next two weeks, it is causing to cause even more upsets inside MAGA. They are going to be even more divided, some might even challenge Trump. Another thing appearing in the US chart is disease outbreaks, since they now have a professional lying health secretary, Things are not looking good at all for the US in the coming months, I see a showdown. On the economic side I see a disaster, if Iran continues with the closure of Strait of Hormuz, oil prices are going to shoot up, they are already picking up. Inflation in the US and worldwide will go up, US economy is already going down because of tarrifs, now with inflation going up also, that is more trouble, The Fed won’t be able to cut interest rates, consumers are going to be hit hard. As consumers we must all be prepared to pay more for everything, if things stays the same as they are.
If we all still remember what happened back in 2001, during 9/11 attacks. Saturn was transiting Gemini and conjunct USA natal Uranus. This year we are having Uranus transiting Gemini( first 6th house of health and the 7th house of enemies) and will also conjunct USA natal Uranus at some point. Uranus always produces shocks and surprises. I fear the USA might experience another terrible attack soon, similar to 9/11, but this time it’s self inflicted as Trump likes attention and entered the war unnecessarily, without consulting congress which is the normal procedure.
Congress approval? Read https://thehill.com/opinion/white-house/5361583-if-he-joins-a-war-unilaterally-trump-will-only-be-the-latest-president-to-do-so/amp/
Not sure about a similar 9/11. There was a war-mongering Saturn opposition Pluto in 2001 which is not in place at the moment or in the coming two years.
It will be interesting to see the effects of Uranus’s transit on the GOP’s (12/10/1853, Exeter, NH) natal Saturn at 1 degree Gemini. For the last year, transit Uranus has opposed the GOP chart’s Venus in Scorpio and squared its Aquarian Moon. The GOP has its North Node at 13 Gemini. Thus their nodal axis will be squared by this September’s total lunar eclipse at 15 Pisces. The GOP’s Ascendant at 27 Sagittarius will also be hit by this September’s partial Solar Eclipse at 28 Virgo. Pondering this, I wonder if astrologically all that mutable energy leads to chaos and a schism within the party itself.
Just a thought.
The US has lost its damn mind, honestly. A healthy, mentally and emotionally balanced people would have never allowed Trump in office the first time. Once though might be a fluke understandable, but twice is unforgivable, and the world is doing what it can to move forward even while America goes through its nervous breakdown.
The people who currently lead the Democratic coalition who could put screws to Trump and bring him to heel are craven and cowardly. Senator Chuck Schumer of New York is their poster boy. The Dems can’t mount an effective counter because people like him have a financial and personal interest in not doing so. Thats the unvarnished and uncomfortable truth.
So many Americans who know, want, and deserve are looking for leaders to step up, stand up, and beat back Trump and his minions. Well, Pluto in Aquarius is saying “tag, you’re it.”
The county’s Capricorn Pluto Return is basically saying “death by all things Conservative and structural” that Americans have hung their hats on for the past 250 years. It’s time for America to either come to terms with the demons of its past, including all of its retrograde-gazing, past-loving nostalgia, or be smothered by the whole rancid mess. Either America renews itself by embracing and facing the present reality and how it got itself to this point, or it will collapse.
@Clarence, I have listened to a number of very intelligent debates about what is happening in the US, and the stand out for me was a particular mention about comments on a particular YouTube channel where the question was posed about what the world thinks about what is happening in the US. Interesting comments far and wide came in, Australia, New Zealand, France, Holland, UK, Germany, and people from many other countries. The consensus seemed to be condolences to the US people because it seems that the US is currently being governed by a Cult. Yes, a Cult. I kid you not, they said that.
Some comments said ‘We love the US and we pray for the people at this time because they are now under a cult.’ On reflection I am myself seeing that is the only thing that makes sense, because even a blind man could see it was a bad idea to vote back in Mr T from the get go, but MAGA couldn’t see it. Apparently certain behaviours and actions are cult behaviour among his people. He even said himself that no matter what he does his people will love him and support him still. So there you go….
Part of the Saturn conjunct Neptune triggering square Jupiter/Venus traits – karmic lesson plus …..the rest? Or more? What are the astrological signatures for/features of a cult?
Jennifer,
MAGA is a cult, indeed.
I honestly believe the Republican Party/GOP also already had its own cult like tendencies for decades before Trump stepped onto the scene. It’s been on this trajectory since the 70s and 80s, when the GOP under Reagan full-on embraced Evangelical Christianity, led by the likes of Pat Roberts and Jerry Falwell. Republicans have been notorious throughout these years for unquestioningly maintaining their loyalty to party and leader. Sound familiar?
I believe all churches are cult-like, to some degree, but the American Evangelical ones are among the most ideologically extreme and aggressive, harboring a desire to seize control of the country, overturn its laws, and remake it according to their particular cherry-picked interpretations of the (mostly) Old Testament Bible. This is really the core of what Project 2025 is about. There’s nothing remotely like this in the Democrats, or within what passes for the Left in the US. There desperately needs to be some strong counterweight to the US right wing though.
The good news is, once Trump does finally shove off, as with all cults of personality, the MAGA/GOP cult will most likely fracture as at least 2 or more of his sycophants vie for control of his mantle and legacy and engage in a fierce battle of purity around ideology. All cults fracture and break apart when the cult leader dies.
Astrologically, I don’t have a specific timeline to offer here. I do think the Uranus Return of the US in 2027 & 2028 will be critically important and pivotal with regards to the nation’s future. I do strongly suspect it will manifest as a definite break from the stifling status quo in some way, as the last two have, as Uranus always represents. Given that this falls during the run up to the 2028 elections following the mid-terms, it could entail a sudden end to Trump and his regime, perhaps due to his passing, or impeachment and truth-findings proceedings finally undertaken by an emboldened Democratically-controlled Congress given a mandate by voters who have had more than their fill of the man and his malignant madness.
All countries have their quirks but the USA does seem peculiarly susceptible to demagogues (rabble rousers) which in large part I ascribe to the US Mercury opposition Pluto which Ebertin describes as ‘fraudulent misrepresentation’. Such leaders have a driving and defensive need to control everyone else’s thinking and can lead to mob fever or group think.
My impression of Mercury Pluto is that it puts excessive pressure on the thinking function which can be at risk of collapse so it invokes a desperation to prop up a shaky mental edifice. Fending off any threat to the rigid mindset from dissenting opinions becomes a life or death battle. That’s the extreme version.
The fanatical militia anti-government groups are also an American oddity which you don’t get to the same extent elsewhere.
There is a tendency/vulnerability to extremism.
If you look at Mercury Pluto in Search you’ll see past posts which point to the McCarthy era etc and the Tulsa massacre amongst others.
America – Mercury Pluto – corruption and wild right-wingers to the fore 10th August 2016
Tulsa Massacre – another Mercury Pluto rampage 31st May 2021
Thanks for the note about the US Mercury opposition to Pluto, especially considering Mercury in the natal chart is retrograde. Also interesting to note about progressed Jupiter at 15 Cancer is that it’s stationary retrograde, but will go direct in the next year or so by progression. Jupiter relates to the law and its progressed position in the US Scorpio rising chart is in the 12th house, square progressed Mars at 16 Libra Rx in the progressed 3rd house of business. P. Mars is conjunct natal Saturn at 14 Libra on the cusp of the 12th.
People who prefer the Sibly chart will have a different interpretation as to the houses, but Sibly too shows a confrontation coming in the legal/Supreme Court/secrecy area. Who knows what progressed Jupiter going direct will bring when it takes so long for progressions to manifest, but however it goes, it probably will be significant.
Thank you Clarence and SweetGrapes, your astrological interpretations provide some optimism for the near future. Trump has certainly created an endless s**t show that we’re having to endure at the moment but it’s not going to last forever.
I know many of the patrons here who are much more knowledgeable in political astrology than me (I’m more knowledgeable in Harmonic and Health astrology) have shared their interpretations too – which are helpful and informative.
However, I noticed many of the interpretations and comments here often perpetrate “apocalyptic” or “doomsday” scenarios which can be exasperating.
For example, 2025 has surprisingly been a very good year for me so far despite last year’s election not going my way. So, I as I continue studying Western Astrology, I have to constantly remind myself that the stars are always right but those of us who try to interpret them are rarely 100% accurate.
In other words, I try not to assume the worst case scenarios these days when attempting to study political astrology (mind you, I have a long way to go – my knowledge of political astrology is still rudimentary).
Political astrology says we are headed for tragic times within five years but you are saying it doesn’t matter because things are going well for you personally. Excuse me but that is not comforting. It is just an expression of human folly.
WWII ended with two nuclear strikes. This is where humanity picks up from 2028. Live on blissfully.
@ André,
your interpretation of political astrology says the world is headed for tragic times.
And it’s not just me who has been having a good year; I know many others who are doing just fine too.
I’ve noticed that most of the people who are experiencing the most setbacks in their lives right now are the very people who voted for Donald Trump. It’s called Karma.
Anyway, I don’t ever recall a time in world history when when everything has been hunky dory where everyone was holding hands and singing “I’d Like to Teach the World to Sing (In Perfect Harmony).”
There have always been wars, genocide, environmental destruction, and political and social oppression taking place somewhere in the world.
The fact that many people here in the Global North are only now clutching their pearls and crying foul because our part of the world is currently getting a taste of the very challenges that the people of Africa, Asia, the Caribbean, Eastern Europe, Latin America, and Oceania have endured for decades (in some cases, centuries) speaks volumes about our society.
I’m not happy about the current political chaos and extreme far-right ideologues who are in charge here in the U.S. and in some other Western countries. And I used to be one of those people who viewed every gloval tragedy as a personal crisis. My psychiatrist and psychologist helped me to accept that we only have control overselves and we don’t have the capacity to resolve all of the world’s troubles.
I think about the people living in places like Afghanistan, Kurdistan, Palestine, Sudan, West Papua, and Yemen and I’m reminded that things could always be worse for us – much worse. So, I now try to be more appreciative of the good things that are still happening in the world.
Think of it this way: at least you don’t live here in the U.S. So, you’re more insulated from Donald Trump and his associates than we are.
@Chris, I know your intentions may have been good, but I want to point out that far more people are currently feeling the negative effects of global challenges than just Trump supporters or voters. We are living through a time of intense societal pressures, climate change, and growing geopolitical tensions that affect people across the spectrum. For example, my teenage child’s school is organizing information sessions for parents to help them understand and support young people dealing with very real existential fears. I’m also part of several astrological circles, where people not only interpret current celestial movements but also share and process their lived experiences. While some choose to focus on the potential growth opportunities in today’s difficult astrological constellations, and that perspective is valuable, none of them are claiming that life is smooth or that 2025 is an easy or wonderful year. Speaking personally, this year feels heavy. Many of my friends and relatives are struggling in various ways. I’m truly glad if things are going well for you, but I kindly ask that you don’t downplay the real hardship others are facing, or suggest that only or mostly Trump supporters are experiencing challenges as some kind of karmic retribution. That’s not only dismissive but also hurtful. Tomorrow brings an exact Chiron/Eris–Mercury square, a transit known for the potential to wound with words. This layered with the Saturn/Neptune and Sun/Jupiter squares, and the lingering tension of the Uranus–Mars square still shaking things up. These are not easy times. If you’re doing well, count your blessings, and please, extend compassion to those who aren’t.
@Chris, I’m glad you’re doing well and having a good year.
It’s quite possible you’re not feeling as much impact from the Trump effect because you’re more shielded living in a red state.
I’m in Southern California. Even those of us who haven’t yet been radically affected financially personally are feeling the brunt of Trump’s devastating (mis)government.
Our restaurants, farms, schools, churches homes and courts are being raided by masked ICE thugs labeled “police,” but no one knows who they really are. They’re abducting our neighbors and essential workers. Crops are starting to rot in the fields. Abducted gardeners are being thrown into ICE vehicles, their lawnmowers left running. Once-reliable employees are now afraid to go to work.
It feels very much like 1930s Germany and the round-ups of “undesirables” for deportation.
Prices are rising to the point that we’re cutting back on discretionary expenses, such as travel and restaurant meals, that we enjoyed routinely pre-Trump.
Recently we took a short trip to the wine country of Central Coast of California, an affluent area with an agricultural base. Trump cast a strong pall of uncertainty and disruption everywhere we went. Driving back home we drove through Los Angeles as Trump illegally ordered unneeded troops into the city to intimidate residents as he threatened to arrest our democratically elected governor and LA mayor.
This is the reality we in California are experiencing.
Andre – I tend to agree with you.
People are clinging to the difficult transits that Trump et al have coming up somehow thinking that will result in his ousting.
But they were hoping the same thing just after the Inauguration when he was doing crazy things. They were pointing at difficult transits he had coming up through March – April (probably Uranus which resulted in the assassination last July) …
… yet here we are and he’s still in power.
Switching around channels for info this morning I heard somebody (can’t recall if it was a news person or expert of some sort) actually remark that the Moon was waning in its cycle. Suggesting that less moonlight may have been one factor in the timing of this secret mission. Makes sense.
Did planning begin in earnest around the June 11 Full Moon at 21 Sagittarius (so significant in DT’s chart, lighting up his N Moon-Sun opposition and Nodes)?
In Vedic electional astrology, Moon in the 11th house is one of the most desirable positions – but the Moon has to be alone. Another planet will impede and meddle with the development of the event. Here it is Venus. So maybe money.
Jupiter in the 1st (Vedic uses whole signs) removes a lot of the blemishes, but here it is combust. So weakened, I think.
El Aznar, good point you make about the money. Let’s not forget that the US Congress has not weighed in on the strike itself since Trump avoided his consitutional obligations and ignored the law. However, the money must flow via Congress and Trump can’t print it all by himself. The public and legal confrontation as to the budget and the big beautiful bill has yet to come, though it will probably be delayed to the fall now. Republicans will need a little time to paper over the MAGA split somehow. And then the battle for hearts and minds will play out, along with the budget dollars. End of September – just a guess (haven’t looked at the stars yet).
In the interim Uranus slips into Gemini and goes Rx in early September, Saturn and Neptune go Rx in July. So the world can take a powder as far as Trump is concerned because he got what he wanted (for that he’s fine with more than 2 weeks).
Pluto goes direct in mid-October while the other heavies are still Rx. There might be some news then as to what’s over the horizon. Lots of sorting out to do politically before spring 2026 when for a couple of months all planets are direct (Pluto going Rx again in early May 2026).
I then later thought Venus is also diplomacy, so could be that hinders the war too.
Thanks for the retrograde calendar roundup! Gives us a precise timeline.
@SweetGrapes, I doubt they can delay one key part of the Big Ugly Bill until September: they’re going to run out of borrowing authority sometime over the summer and must raise the debt ceiling. They could separate out the required debt ceiling increase from the rest of the bill, but the orange toddler will be upset.
If course, Trump and his lackies have ignored almost every law they’ve encountered to date, but probably the bankers or the Fed won’t let them totally ignore the debt ceiling limit.
I’ve read an article yesterday or the day before about whether Israel has money to continue these wars. I think the bottom line was ‘yes’ – but if the wars end quickly. Then the economy would have the strength to recover.
I was also wondering with the latest ingresses, Neptune, upcoming Uranus, if Iran is sensitive to them.
To me, closing the Strait of Hormuz is the only effective option that is left to Iran and the only dangerous one for the wider world. It could conceivably bring China in support, at least diplomatically, because it is the main buyer of Iranian oil. Also, the resulting spike in oil prices will benefit Putin, another Iranian ally.
All this is happening right on cue with the entrance of Uranus in Gemini, which has always brought existential wars to the US every 84 years, every Uranian cycle, since the American Revolution. So this is unlikely to go away soon. What is new this time, apart from the fact that US Mars is retrograde for the first time for most of the century which is why the US has not won a war since 1945, is that Israel is also entering its first Uranus return. The Israel Uranus 1948 placement is 24 Gemini, conjunct US Mars and Trump’s Sun-Uranus conjunction. In 2032, there will be a Saturn-Uranus conjunction at roughly 24 Gemini while Pluto opposes Israel’s natal Saturn-Pluto conjunction in Leo. What could possibly go wrong? That’s in 7 years. Trump would be 86 and I do not doubt for a moment that he could still be in power.
In the near term, the Mars-Uranus opposition in early November and the Mars-Pluto conjunction in February 2026 will be dates to watch.
In the intermediate term, China is likely to be emboldened to attack Taiwan in 2027 for the hundredth anniversary of the Chinese Communist Party (which has been hacking me on a Canadian political forum). By 2028, the war in Ukraine (if it continues after the Saturn-Neptune conjunction which could see off Putin), and those in the Middle East and the Pacific could be interlocking and feed off each other as one. Someone in the Pentagon (the no. 3 in charge of policy) noted that every US miltary resource taken out of the Pacific to confront Iran weakens the U in its confrontation with China. I believe that will turn out to be Israel’s greatest problem because ultimately the US may find that war with China is more important and it may not go very well, at least initially. It will desperately need India’s help to win it.
Andre, Trump won’t make it to 86. He’s on his way down now. I give him two years, tops. Even his aides and sycophants can’t prop him up and cover for him forever.
Let’s stop ascribing to him some kind of superhuman ability he doesn’t have and never will have. That’s a large part of how we got into this mess, by collectively buying into the myth of the man portraying him as some kind of larger-than-life character. But he’s in truth, a very small, weak, incompetent and pitiful man.
More to the point, what a truly sorry state of affairs for the U.S. that he is at the helm at this time. I don’t see how the country gets out of this one unscathed. They have been fortunate to have great leaders during times of crisis in the past under hard transits of Uranus and Neptune. Not this time at all, it seems.
Clarence & Andre: I’m inclined to think Trump won’t make it past the midterms. His health for one thing. His instability and wavering decisiveness for another. Yes, he made this decision, but what will he do next? What lie will he tell next, which makes it impossible for anybody to believe what he says, especially after he misled the world with his “two weeks to a decision” comments. Of course, he didn’t say he would definitely wait 2 weeks; he said ‘within’ 2 weeks or words to that effect. The strike came sooner than anybody expected, but surely nobody was fooled.
Astrologically speaking, it was a done-deal decision for Trump from the outset to bomb Iran (imo). What other decision could possibly satisfy his Mars/ Regulus ego on the Ascendant but to make a spectacular strike on Iran?
Now comes the denouement – Uranus goes into Gemini on July 8th, then retrogrades back into Taurus from November 9 to February 3, 2026, exactly squaring Trump’s Mars at 26 Taurus again. Taurus being the sign of real estate and money. Then Uranus goes direct to April 27, 2026 at which time it passes into Gemini, the twins, for good. Gemini being ruled by 2 stars, Castor and Pollux, that say you get the good with the bad.
The first exact square from Uranus in Taurus to Trump’s Mars at 26 Leo 47′ was May 9th. At the time Saturn was opposing his Ascendant at 29 Leo from Pisces (his 7th house of open enemies). The May 9 Uranus square, the first of a series of such squares, is conjunct fixed star, Algol, the star of losing one’s head. Then Neptune, the planet of illusions and lies, gets to 1 Aries for good on January 27, 2026 (having hit it the first time on March 31, 2025). Saturn joins Neptune at 1 Aries on March 1, 2026, a year from now, just having passed an exact trine to Trump’s 29 degree Ascendant. Trump’s illusions and delusions will be gung ho on more action with that applying trine. Reality of course, will follow as it always does.
This is a picture of teetering disaster over the next year or two. Also, transiting Pluto hovers over Trump’s 6th house cusp of health, 1 Aquarius, throughout this period, with Saturn joining that sensitive personal point in March 2026. So, we’ll see, but as the old Bette Davis movie puts it, it’s going to be a bumpy ride.
To be more precise in my comments, please don’t think for a minute that Trump will expire! His chart is amazingly strong, but like Clarence says, he’s not superhuman. There are plenty of obstacles in his path and it’s still early days. He looks likely to remain President for his full term, but his effectiveness will be tested and curbed by hard aspects to angles and critical planets. It doesn’t look rosy, and then come the midterms.
Spaniards waited for Franco’s démise for 40 years. Also, the horoscope lives on after one’s death for things we have set in motion.
In 2032, Pluto will also square Israel’s Sun, and Neptune will be conjunct its Descendant. You cannot deny this is truly tragic astrology and it will coincide with the US Uranus return which has been apocalyptic in the past. It ended the last time with Hiroshima and Nagasaki.
Maybe sime Americans should stop wishing this will all go away and face reality.
Andre, Franco was a much younger man and in far better shape when he became dictator of Spain. Trump is blessedly far closer to his end and was in poor health to begin with, facing down a family history of Alzheimer’s and a life’s legacy of poor dietary habits and no exercise, concerned with junk science like conserving his heart beats.
Granted, his vile deeds and influence will continue to reverberate across time and generations well beyond his final breaths, certainly beyond all of our lives and throughout time. And we will have to deal with them, but we won’t also be dealing with him at once.
What I find more concerning than Trump is the near-total collapse of the Democrats as the opposition party that ought to be hard countering the MAGA madness. Since Kamala Harris conceded, they have behaved like the crew of the Titanic, pointing fingers and rearranging chairs on the deck while the ship took on water. Their leaders either seem to craven and corrupt (e.g. Chuck Schumer) or inept and clueless (e.g. Hakeem Jeffries & Ken Martin). Maybe it’s Newsome or Pritzker that will rise to the occasion. But what are they waiting for?
Past Uranus Returns have always been a “rallying time” for the US, but those happened under Lincoln and FDR (and from the onset under Washington as General, if we count the natal founding period and the Revolutionary War), undisputably men of the hour of solid caliber, already in office, who rose to the occasion.
Well, during this period it seems like the leader(s) will have to come from some other, less obvious place, or perhaps maybe the U.S. has simply enjoyed good fortune up until now, and that luck has now run out. We will soon see.
The US won the Cold War, Gulf War and Iraq War. I think there was some other stuff in Central America too. Something was going on with Panama when I was a child.
I don’t think they’ve neutralized Iran’s nuclear program. Something keeps escaping.
Iran has a bigger problem the America or Israel. Israel’s attack chart put them as Mars. America’s strikes began 1:30 am local time making them Ceres. Neither gets to play Jupiter. Iran though is suffering Jupiter’s bolts. Operation Midnight Hammer set at midnight puts the Sun-Jupiter conjunction part of a Thor’s Hammer at the midnight position. Operation Rising Lion is alluding to the rising Sun. Iran needs to address whatever they did to draw the Sun’s heat and Jupiter’s bolts.
I heard on the news that the Iranians weren’t using electronic communications so they couldn’t be bugged and thus used against them. This also slows communications between the various top Iranian government officials that would be making decisions about what to do next.
In this conflict with Iran and the US, everyone is forgetting Russia.
I dont believe Russia will get involved militarily. They are embroiled in the war with Ukraine and can’t afford to send resources like the US can.
However, I do believe Putin has damaging information against Trump and will likely release it between now and the 2026 midterms.
There are many reasons to believe this. Up until now, Trump has always been complimentary and subserviant to Putin, and Putin (with his resources) have helped elevate MAGA through the use of falsehoods and belittling Democrats.
As to what happens after this…who knows? Putin may have video tape evidence of Trump doing something awful, such as raping a child, and the MAGA group has been so well trained that they will cry “fake news,” even if Trump admits to the conduct. The idea that MAGA will ever wake up and hold Trump accountable for his falsehoods and broken promises is laughable.
There is hope that the independents who gave Trump another chance will finally wake up and deliver the country back into Democratic control, but time will tell. Hopefully, the fact that so many Republicans have charts showing hardship in the coming years indicates that when people act recklessly, they are met with with a reckoning.
But enough with the supposing. What does Russia’s chart show with regards to Iran and Trump?
