Random thoughts on Trump’s cluster-catastrophe in the Middle East. With transiting Uranus square the Israel Mars until April 5th it always looked unlikely to be a speedy Venezuelan swan-in, smash n’ grab. Despite cheer-leading from the White House there is a creeping realisation of the weakness of their self-created (why bother to forward plan?) situation which from April 6th to end of the month shows up on the Inauguration (Trump Term) chart as akin to an epileptic spasm, with sudden upsets and over-stretched nerves. On Trump’s personal chart that same period shows up with the same mix of high irritability, weakness and maybe illness.
The Inauguration chart will also be spotlighted by the coming (maybe magnified in effect by the recent eclipse) Pisces New Moon next Thursday which will be conjunct the Inauguration Neptune, North Node and Scheat in late Pisces. None of which looks constructive or progressive. Deeper into a swamp.
Through April Pete Hegseth has tr Uranus square his Mercury/Pluto midpoint which Ebertin suggests could overtax his strength to the point of breakdown with his fanaticism ramping up. Before then from now till early April, Hegseth has tr Uranus square his Mars/Saturn and Saturn/Uranus midpoints which suggests rising tension, calamity, bad tempered outbursts. Which does not look like a fast glorious finish. His relationship chart with Trump looks at defcon meltdown now till early April – and if Hegseth survives politically then July may see their bond rupture as tr Uranus squares the composite Mars Uranus.
Not only are Republicans becoming increasingly nervous, the MAGA electorate are unhappy about the ‘foreign wars’ broken campaign promises. And now the Pope has added pressure which will leave the religious lobby in two minds about whether Trump is the chosen one after all. Pope Leo said on Sunday “Some even go so far as to invoke the name of God to justify these choices of death, but God cannot be enlisted by darkness. Rather, He always comes to bring light, hope and peace to humanity.”
He cautioned against news reports that risk sliding into propaganda by glorifying conflicts or serving as “a megaphone” to amplify the voices of those in power.
Pope Leo, 14 September 1955 Chicago, with a stellium in Virgo falling in Trump’s First House, has his determined and confident Pluto conjunct Trump’s Mars for a mighty clash as power meets aggression and vainglory. The Pope’s North Node in Sagittarius which aims higher is conjunct Trump’s South Node and Moon, so he will see it as his mission to pull Trump away from under-developed, primitive tendencies.
The Bishop of Chicago has also been heavily criticising White House videos about the war which include elements of video games and movie clips. He said “The video presentation that the White House posted was deeply offensive, not only to the people who were killed in the war so far, but especially to our American troops.” He is calling on the White House to take the videos down. Cupich says they never should have been released in the first place.
“The object, with regard to a video game, is a hit. But in the case that we have here, it’s not just a hit. It’s a grieving family that has lost children, as we have seen in the bombing of that school.” It is likely an American Tomahawk hit an area near a school, where close to 170 children were killed. Thousands of lives have been lost in a war that is now 10 days old, including those of seven U.S. service members.

Re: Hegseth’s “rising tension, calamity, bad tempered outbursts”–that seems to be his natural state!
I came across a fascinating article on the late Diana Rosenburg’s fixed stars and astrology website. It suggests an astrological link between the Islamic religious calendar, and the USA. She writes:
“The Islamic Calendar begins with the Hegira; the entrance of Mohammed into Medina at sunset on July 2, 622 AD; the true SNode at that moment was 6 AQU 29, the mean SNode 7 AQU 29. Neptune was closing on Zavijava, beta Virginis, the star the Chinese called “The Right-Hand Maintainer of Law.”
* 870 years later, on August 3, 1492 at 5:15 AM LMT when Columbus sailed with the tide from Cape Palos, Spain, 37N37, 0W52, the Equatorial Descendant was 7 AQU 21.
* On July 4, 1776, on Neptune’s 7th return to Zavijava on the solar return of the Hegira, the United States of America was born; the mean SNode was 7 AQU 36; the true SNode was 6 AQU 36.
* At the Federation of the 13 Colonies of the United States, 3/1/1781, 2:43 PM, Philadelphia, Pluto was setting at 6 AQU 36.” (ye-stars.com)
I noticed that the Full Moon on 29th July will be 6.30 Aquarius, opposing Jupiter 6 Leo, highlighting the US Nodes, and the Nodes of the Hegira. The generally fortunate fixed star Zavijava is now at 27 Virgo. It now aligns with Saturn 27 Virgo in the September 5th, 1774 chart for the US Congress. What might the Full Moon bring to a head I wonder? Jupiter at the North Node of direction, connections and alliances suggests a leader in Leo. The Aquarian Full Moon on the S Node maybe resonates with not only ‘we the people’, but could serve as a reminder of the past, history, and where things stand now in relation to that.
Regarding the Gulf War of 1990-91, when Iraq invaded Kuwait, Rosenburg notes:
* January 26, 1990 a solar eclipse occurred over Antarctica at 6 AQU 35, the first in this degree in 269 years. In Baghdad, Uranus conjoined the IC. In Washington, Mars descended and Saturn was on the 8th house cusp.
* At the Vernal Equinox of 3/20/1990, Mars was 6 AQU 50.
* The Iraqi army embarked on their invasion of Kuwait at 0:10, 8/2/90, zone -3, at approximately 30N & 47E44: true NNode 7 AQU 17, mean NNode 7 AQU 11.
* When the first bombs hit Baghdad on 1/16/91 at 2:32 AM, zone -3; the moon was 7 AQU 21.
Fascinating post here about the war’s impact on global helium supplies, which cannot be stockpiled as the gas is so volatile. Semiconductor production depends on helium, as do MRI scanners for cooling. https://x.com/shanaka86/status/2033713550972358849?s=12
They all sold their souls to the Devil, morning of February 27, with Mercury just turned retrograde and a void-of-course
Moon in effect. Actions initiated under such astrological signatures as those usually indicate plans do not go as expected.
The war began with Mercury going retrograde (among other things) which fits well with the disruption to travel. I am interested to see if Taco Trump bails or at least engineers a ceasefire on March 21 as it goes direct.
Right, Mercury goes direct on March 20th and thereafter all planets are direct until Pluto goes retrograde on May 6th. On April 25, transiting Saturn at 8 Aries sextiles US natal Uranus at 8 Gemini. On April 25, transiting Uranus at 29 Taurus, on his Midheaven, exactly squares Trump’s Ascendant. Transiting Pluto at 5 Aquarius is inconjunct US natal Jupiter at 5 Cancer on April 25th as well. Looks financial to me. Meanwhile, Eris and Chiron at 25 Aries will be in sextile aspect to the US Moon, and regardless of which US chart you use, and despite being sextile, a close aspect from Eris and Chiron together is not overly friendly. Today, Mars at Pisces (not a strong position for Mars) has just passed exact square to US natal Uranus at 8 Gemini. Mars gets to 8 Aries on April 21st. Nobody knows what Trump will do next (not even Trump), but bankers (Jupiter), in this Iran war games scenario, are on alert in earnest.
Further note, Pope Leo’s MC at 8 Virgo is square US Uranus at 8 Gemini 55′ within a degree. No support for Trump coming from that quarter, with transiting Mars, as noted above, having just passed 8 Pisces (the sign most associated with religious belief). Both Mars and Mercury will join up at 8 Aries in a month. Not to say that transits alone tell the whole story (or news), but it adds up. Doesn’t look like peace coming yet, but I do hope I’m wrong.
According to various reports, J D Vance has been rather ‘elusive’ recently; with some suggesting a cooling of his relationship with Trump. A look at JD’s astrology might also be interesting, at this time.
I’ve been reading that Trump has been promoting Rubio aa his heir apparent for 2028.
Plus Vance is said to have been against the Iran strike.
Rubio is such a neocon/warhawk. Not even a very America First candidate. Foreign allies esp Euros found Rubio OK for the State dep.
I guess the anti-intervention wing that Vance leads has lost big time. I mean, it was kinda obvious it was gonna happen, no? America has a worldwide empire to lead. All the anti-intervention bluff wasn’t gonna last long.
I’m very curious about Neptune (and Saturn) squaring the US Cancer planets. I wonder what previous hard aspects brought to the forefront. I’m off to investigate!
Susie Wiles has been diagnosed with early stages breast cancer.
I was assuming that her upcoming issues would be related to Gabbard giving her information that Jared Kushner had been unmasked as the topic of discussion between two foreign nationals instead of relaying that information to the other intelligence agencies.
Interesting to look at Vance v Rubio for 2028. Vance is not well liked but Rubio sold his soul to hitch a ride to trump, well they all did, but he had been a promising work across the aisle type rep- it looks like it’s eating away at him if you look at pictures of him now.
The charts of Vance, Rubio and Newsom all look so interesting during the presidential election day. I wish we had correct birth times. Until the duos are formed (pres/vp) I’m unwilling to say anything serious. But newsom and rubio look interesting (chart-wise)
Could it be possible that Vance is happy over the 2029 inauguration period because Rubio is the nominee and loses?
Rubio is a shell of a human body. His eyes have been vacant, empty since he made his decisions, whatever they were.
The soul that was there exited to get away from him and the hell he has helped create. May he rot.
Rumor (admittedly, online, so take it with a handful of salt) has it that Rubio is heavily into cocaine.
