Poor USA, what a perfect storm of rolling catastrophes, with a manic president wreaking havoc from the White House, unprecedented natural disasters, the worst ever mass shooting and now their favourite flagship industry sinking under a sea of sleaze. It’s almost karmic. Plagues, pestilence and famine in their modern-day equivalents.
The August Leo Eclipse did oppose the USA (11am) 5th house Aquarius Moon, which would point to the entertainment business being in a state of severe shock relating to attitudes to women (Moon); with tr Saturn square the USA filmic Neptune when the Weinstein scandal broke, which is in a showbizzy square to the USA Mars – pointing to a significant setback, anger and uncertainty.
The tr Uranus square Mercury opposition Pluto (2017/18) also probably has its part to play – having been around during ‘Troopergate’ in 1994/5, (Jupiter was in Scorpio in 1994), when sexual allegations against Bill Clinton first erupted, which arguably led four years later to his impeachment over Lewinsky. The tr Uranus square Mercury opposition Pluto was also around during Watergate and when McCarthy was stirring up hysteria about commies-under-the-bed .
What may also be a factor is tr Pluto edging its way towards its first return since the USA’s foundation. That doesn’t hit exact until 2022, but Pluto, being slow moving, tends to cast a long shadow in both directions. And what may be a precursor of scandals and confusion to come is tr Pluto trine the USA Neptune which will shake the USA Pluto as well since they are tied together in trine natally.
Tr Pluto trine the USA Neptune picks up from early 2019 till late 2020 – past experience would connect it to scandals, obsessions and megalomania. The last time tr Pluto hit that Neptune was in a conjunction in Virgo, along with tr Uranus, during the civil-rights and anti-Vietnam War turmoil of the mid-1960s. Then roll back one, to the 1930s Great Depression when tr Pluto in Cancer was sextile the USA Neptune and opposition the USA Pluto.
It truly is a significant game-changing phase in USA history, running over the next several years.
Corey Feldman, who had been a child actor along with Corey Haim, tried to expose the pedophile abuse they had received back in 2013. Barbara Walters accused him of defaming the entire industry. He was not able to make the criticism stick. But it turns out so much of the criticism is deserved: https://townhall.com/tipsheet/christinerousselle/2017/10/13/flashback-actor-corey-feldman-tried-to-warn-about-hollywoods-pedophile-problem-and-was-mocked-n2394766?utm_content=buffer48012&utm_medium=social&utm_source=facebook.com&utm_campaign=buffer
It really makes no sense why Trump continues to dismantle the US social structure. What is his goal? Ignoring Puerto Rico only to “back up” Florida and Texas post-hurricanes? To continue to kick over global agreements, then sit back with glee on his face? Eliminating birth control provisions for women to the tune of his evangelical constituents?
Something is very wrong here.
Trump likes attention and stirring up aggravation. He feeds off anger so no point in being a good team player and doing the right thing. He’s evidently frustrated at being president with its restrictions and slow pace of progress; rather than a gun-slinging dictator at the head of his own company who doesn’t answer to anyone. He’s like a toddler who isn’t getting enough attention so throws his toys around just to ensure everyone is looking at him.
I know we are not supposed to diagnose him from a distance but he does have traits of malignant narcissism – ‘a psychological syndrome comprising an extreme mix of narcissism, antisocial personality disorder, aggression, and sadism. Often grandiose, and always ready to raise hostility levels, the malignant narcissist undermines organizations in which they are involved, and dehumanizes the people with whom they associate.’ Wiki
So there is a name
for it.
Yes, “Drompf”.
