It took some time to get it right, but (so far) it’s going without a hitch. But is there trouble ahead?
That Yod, pointing at Mars, formed by inconjuncts to the Sun and Pluto, is not a good omen. The timing has changed nothing but delayed the inevitable. And there are two other inconjuncts, but time associated.
Sun Inconjunct Mars
You have a rather strong will, which may be difficult to control. This is because your way of doing something tends to interfere with what you want to gain by doing it. Your actions in some situations may surprise people by contradicting what they have learned about you as a person. Inside of yourself, you may even begin to feel that you can’t approve of the way you act, or you may feel that you can’t deal comfortably with the results of your actions. In other words, you get yourself into real jams.
Moon Inconjunct Uranus
With this aspect you must learn to control sudden outbursts of emotion that occur at difficult times when you least expect it. Also, your present home life may not be a stable situation in which you can grow up emotionally secure and confident. A particular incident when you were very young may have given you the feeling that you can’t count on anything or anyone for support. Later in life, you may try very hard to get away from anything that reminds you of your earliest childhood, even if your childhood has not been difficult. You just feel that you have to get away and go somewhere else.
Mars Inconjunct Pluto
You have a strong will and always want to have your own way. But very often it seems as if tremendous forces are working to prevent you from getting what you want. If you have this problem, it is because of the way you go about trying to achieve your ends. If you put too much force into your desire to get something, you may unknowingly alienate people because your aggressive manner shows that you will let nothing stop you from getting what you want. Even if that isn’t the way you really feel about it, you should recognize that your forcefulness creates this impression.
Saturn Inconjunct Ascendant
With this aspect you probably have a rather serious attitude toward life and other people. It may be quite difficult for you to simply go out and have a good time. You want to be serious and to spend all of your time performing significant tasks.
You may find it rather difficult to express yourself to other people. This is another expression of your lack of self-confidence, which will change if you get positive emotional support from the people around you.
The Yod Applies to Trump’s Third Attempt at the Presidency
I highlighted in bold the two inconjuncts that were also present during Donald J. Trump’s November 15th announcement of his candidacy for US President in 2024. Doesn’t bode well, does it? We shall see.
I know, I know, I’ve hinted at the anagram Enola being “Alone” in reverse before. So, what do I think of this second instalment? Not much: I was bored by the fifteen-minute mark. Obviously, I am not the target audience. That’s when the “Home Alone” idea struck me: I loved the original film but disliked the sequels. I suppose it has something to do with trying to catch lightning in a bottle, twice.
It’s a very nebulous business, predicting elections. Obviously, the pundits got it wrong, but Michael Moore didn’t. Also, Cash Peters looked at a lot of individual races, and although he never sees who wins or loses, he does get a sense of how the candidates will run. Even Ellie Dreams Down Under has Tarot insight, and she saw ‘problems’ for the GOP. What is one to do with this information? Bet on it?
Democracy is not Dead
My history of looking at the Roman Empire and relating it to the American history has placed me in a singularly interesting position. Reincarnation can explain some of the chronology, but that really isn’t what’s happening here. Countries, like people, have a certain lifespan. Along the way, it is possible to see how the planets line up in new and different configurations. Take this past July’s Pluto Return for the USA. Never have I experienced a preview of a civil war, but one that is totally up to date. Ellie Adams and I surmised that Texas and Florida would be the states to set things in motion. (Republican governors moving immigrants to New York and Martha’s Vineyard could have been the trigger, but the other side – Democrats – decided to take the higher ground by welcoming the new arrivals. That was unexpected.)
In truth, it was the unexpected cancellation of Roe v Wade which divided the American voters along three lines: Democrats and Republicans; male and female; young people and elders. The MSM tried to downplay the ‘abortion’ issue, by fixating on inflation and the economy. They failed, because the voters knew what the real issue was: Pro-Choice. Anyone taking away a woman’s right to choose for herself will ultimately pay the price at the polling stations.
The Supreme Court did not do Republicans any favours. In fact, the Dobbs decision may have been the single most damaging thing that happened this past year. The second most damaging? Donald J Trump.
Or in the words of Rupert Murdoch’s publications: Trumpty Dumpty…
My mind is playing pun tricks on me again, mainly because I’m not particularly interested in looking at a minor politician in the Ontario Parliament. But the Universe must have a different purpose, here. So, who am I to argue? This is Stephen Lecce, the Education Minister.
This time was originally randomized. It was obviously set for dawn, but I don’t like doing that. Then I flipped the time to PM from AM, but that didn’t feel right, either. Then I moved the clock back 6 hours. Ah, that’s more like it.
The dream I had last night involved recognizing someone from the past, by way of a package of lychee nuts. (My wife does lots of gardening, so that fits in with a box of seeds and bulbs.) But lychees are a specific fruit, one that I do not have the acquired taste for. By symbolically, they are perfect: tough and prickly on the outside, tender and fleshy on the inside.
And I think this describes Stephen Lecce, to a tee.
Moon Inconjunct Mars
Until you learn to handle your feelings, you are likely to get angry easily, have temper tantrums and be touchy about what is yours and what is not. You may feel you have to defend yourself against imagined threats. The problem here is that you are likely to become too emotionally involved with ideas, opinions or even objects without knowing it until someone threatens them. Then you react as if you were being personally threatened or attacked. You have to realize that it is possible to change your opinions and attitudes without damaging your worth as a person.
Why does this matter? It doesn’t, really, but it helps to understand when he changes his mind and he and the Ford Government did, after two days of protests. They then decided to undo the legislation making the strike illegal, and then invited the union to return to the negotiation table. This effectively set the strike clock back to zero. The issues are not yet resolved, but at least both sides are talking. Wait and see.
I don’t trust opinion polls. They have a way of focusing a bias into election platforms that may be misleading. As usual, history was made, yesterday: a long-standing trend of voting against the sitting President was somehow understated. No, if you ask the right questions, you get the right answers.
Admittedly, the dust has not yet settled, so we do not really know the extent of the GOP debacle. Trusting that Trump’s endorsement is enough to get elected is a losing proposition. And, thinking that you can ignore a very important legal issue, abortion, was foolish, too. Young people got out and voted their preference, while elder voters wanted to make it about the economy. When polls underrepresent one side of the equation, the results are skewed. When will they ever learn, when will they ever learn?
Tomorrow is a big day. But not just for American politics. This one is going to be ‘huge’ for me, too.
Mars is inconjunct to Pluto
This chart has a definite Cosmic Cross (aka Grand Cross) in its centre. When I was watching Ellie Adams’ YouTube video about it, yesterday, I suddenly twigged onto the fact that, personally, this was going to trigger my Avatar Gate T-square (Jupiter opposite Pluto, both square my Moon), like this:
What makes this ‘special’ for me is the Yod formed by inconjuncts from my natal Neptune and Ascendant to the transiting Moon/Uranus conjunction. At the same time, the transiting Saturn is inconjunct my natal Saturn. That’s a lot of energy to absorb in one go. I expect some emotional fallout.
It is also not lost on me that the Beaver is significant to my past life as a fur trader, living among the North American native population. This one may be a completion of that soul journey. We shall see…
It is only after the voters have had they collective voices heard will we know what they really think. Everything up until that point is political spin (in other words, not real). So, I will refrain from commenting further until after the cards have settled on November 8th.
It occurred to me last week that Donald Trump likes to think that there is an Art of the Deal. I’ve said before that it’s actually the Art of the Steal. Most of the time, he loses, but his real reason for suing his ‘enemies’ is to foist financial ruination on anyone who dares to challenge him. Ask Hillary Clinton.
There really is no defense against his litigious nature. He does not compromise, he does not negotiate, he uses bully tactics to frighten others into submission. It is time for the American people to see him for what he really is: a self-serving narcissist. He wanted to drain the swamp so that he could be the meanest crocodile in Washington.
