I realize that political posts can generate a great deal of animosity. I will attempt to be as unbiased as possible in my political posts and stick to the astrology, but it’s likely that some bias will slip through.
I have been writing a lot about the upcoming return of Pluto to its place in the astrological chart for the United States, and if you’re an avid consumer of astrological news you have probably read about this elsewhere as well. Planetary returns (such as the Saturn return with which you might be familiar) are important cycles of change and evolution. There are lunar returns every month, solar returns every year, Mars returns every two plus years, Saturn returns every 29 years, Uranus returns every 84 years, etc. and each type of return has a different quality and brings an emphasis on the agenda of that planet to the individual.
Because Pluto takes about 248 years to orbit the earth, humans do not experience Pluto returns. However, nations can experience a Pluto return although very few national governments last that long. The astrological chart for a nation is always a matter of hot debate among astrologers but that is a matter for another post. Despite the debate on the specifics of which chart to use for the US, there is certainly agreement that we are heading into a time when the US will experience its first Pluto return after 248 years.
Astrologers have been speculating as to what this will mean. The end of the US constitution? The breakdown of the economic system, since Pluto occupies the second house of money in the most commonly used chart for the US? Civil war? So it was particularly chilling yesterday to hear Donald Trump’s attorney Michael Cohen, who arguably knows Trump better than anyone in government, say these words: “I fear that if he loses the election in 2020, that there will never be a peaceful transition of power.” Clearly Michael Cohen has lost credibility due to the fact that he already to Congress once and himself committed many crimes for which he is now going to prison. But he is not the first person to speculate that the division in the country could lead to a situation in which a peaceful transition of power cannot take place. Last fall Politico asked the question, “What if, after having moved into the White House and gotten comfortable, Donald Trump refuses to check out when his term ends?” Trump’s admiration for dictators such as Vladmir Putin and others has only served to fuel this kind of speculation.
I wasn’t surprised in 2016 when Donald Trump won the presidential election, knowing that we were heading into the US Pluto Return. In 2021 Pluto will reach 26 degrees Capricorn, just one degree from US Pluto at 27. Pluto’s role is to dredge up the darkness that lives in the Underworld and bring it into the light of reason and consciousness so that the darkness may ultimately be extinguished. Under the influence of Pluto during the past few years as it came within a few degrees of US Pluto, we have seen that darkness emerge in US life with an increasing degree of animosity across the political spectrum. My husband says, “when the s&$%t hits the fan, it’s time to duck.” That is particularly true under the influence of Pluto which often behaves rather like a tornado – whipping through our lives and destroying anything that is weak and lacks a solid foundation. This is not to say that we shouldn’t make every attempt to bring light into the world in which we live, and create change where we can. But change must happen from the roots, and for this to happen sometimes we must first hit bottom and what better time for that to happen than a Pluto return!!
Of course Trump is going to fight to remain president because that’s the only thing that will keep him from going to jail.
The statutes of limitations on most of those charges are fives years so if Trumps remains president through January 2025 he’s home safe.
Plus that will mark the end of the US Pluto Return, so we might be home safe in 2025 also!
well 2025 as i’m sure your aware is when Neptune conjuncts the USA IC first time since the civil war plus Uranus progresses onto the MC for the first time ever so I’m not so sure about home safe but the game will def have changed .Pluto has done its thing ….maybe a paradigm shift of sorts ?
I looked at Michael Cohen’s chart. It has a mix of Cancer and Leo. He was known to be very agressive and the Cancer says it expressed itself as being protective towards loved ones while also feeding an insatiable ego. I think he had an early Virgo Sun, which gives him a way with words. What made me almost laugh was he went to a mediocre law school, yet he rose very high (and the fall he’s taking but he has things in place to break it). He’s a prime example of where audacity with misplaced loyalties can lead.
It would be interesting to know what his ascendant is, if we knew his birth time. I don’t feel so much that he has an insatiable ego – he grew up in a family of basically mobsters and that way of life was comfortable to him. But the Leo Mars clearly shows through – the desire to be important even if it means to be reflected in Trump’s light.
If you find the time ,the final video in this Neptune documentary series covers USA Pluto return & Mercury opposition , 2020 & the republican parties Neptune return in 2016 & of course that out of control 2021 presidential inauguration chart etc etc … I follow you articles & i think these videos are right down your alley https://neptunevideo.tumblr.com/
“Pluto’s role is to dredge up the darkness that lives in the Underworld and bring it into the light of reason and consciousness so that the darkness may ultimately be extinguished. ”
What we have seen with the information now coming out of Washington, that the FBI was literally spying on a presidential campaign, is going to be the next new phase of ugly. There are already reports out that the FISA court has made criminal referrals that are being held until the IG’s report is out on how the court was abused to entrap Trump with Russian disinformation (the dossier) that was paid for by not only the Clinton campaign but with $972,000 of money from the Obama campaign we have just learned. The Mueller Report was just the first inning. Major government figures are going to be the next in line for what Trump has endured.
Hi Mary, welcome to my site. The details that you provide, however, were debunked back in 2017 when Trump tweeted that the Obama campaign had paid $972,000 to Fusion GPS to pay for the Steele dossier. That money from the Obama campaign went to the law firm of Perkins and Coie which was the law firm for the Obama campaign, for services rendered. That law firm also represented the DNC and both Democratic and Republican campaigns and paid Fusion GPS for the opposition research detailed in the dossier. The Clinton campaign and the DNC paid Perkins and Coie which then hired Fusion GPS for the opposition research. You can’t believe everything that Trump tweets – even his most ardent supporters admit that he sometimes stretches the truth.
[Note from Lynn: I edited this comment to remove much of the unpleasant tone, but there are some good astrological points that are well worth reading.]
I’ve been comparing this election and inauguration chart to other elections in the past. It’s the only way to make a valid comparison and prediction. So the biggest influences in any election are almost always “it’s the economy, stupid”. What happened in previous elections when the economy sucked? In 1936, Uranus was square the Node in the Sibley chart, in the heart of the Depression. But there were no other major indicators, and regime change did not happen, and FDR kept his job. Uranus will be square Node again for 2020. Saturn will be conj Pluto in the 2nd – an indicator of recession. Well, we’re already there – other times Saturn was conj Pluto there were recessions or worse – 1932, 1873, and so on. Lucky for Grant, he was already President in 1873. Roosevelt was elected in 1932, so it was bad for Hoover. Polk had a surprise victory in 1844 when Saturn was close to conj with Pluto, knocking the Whigs out of power. What followed was a massive increase in the size and power of the US. Will that happen to Trump, being knocked out? Possibly. Transiting Jupiter and Pluto are in the 2nd trine Neptune – idealism and patriotism tend to favor the conservatives, not liberals. Modern Democrat victories are always bad for business, and Jupiter in the 2nd wants expansion, not contraction. Until Covid, the economic expansion was huge, so the precedent is there. Transiting Mars in the 4th opposite Saturn indicates inertia. At this point it’s a crap shoot. Looking at the inauguration chart, whoever wins is going to have a rough ride, with Uranus/Mars conj and square Node, Pluto conj Pluto, Jupiter opposite Node …. so you’ll get your violence and rioting regardless. Congratulations.
Love this article as you predicted correctly (storm on the Capitol) and as Bitcoin hits a new high. Wish that you had written some about Neptune opposition natal Neptune going on at the same time as this Pluto return. Neptune, another slow moving planet. Looks like lots of smoke and mirrors to add to the confusion.
You are exactly right and this will be a part of an upcoming comprehensive article on the US Pluto return and the astrology of the next few years.
