A Quick Glance at DNC Debates for 2019 and a Few of the Candidates

by Milky Way Maid

Soon after the June DNC debates, I took a quick look at Beto O’Rourke’s birthchart and the Moon on the night of his appearance because it was said that he did not look impressive at all. Some late-night comedian said he looked like he had not studied for his exam. I thought he just seemed totally uninspired and in a word, dull.

So after looking at his placements, I saw that his natal Moon is in the sign of its exaltation, Taurus. Hmmm, odd he seemed so ill at ease, I thought. Then “Aha!” – he appeared on the first night of the debate, June 26, when the Moon was in Aries. This conflicted with his Sun, Mercury, Pluto and Uranus which are all in Libra!! Oh, what might he have done if he had been scheduled for the following night when the Moon was in Taurus, like his natal Moon!!! It would also have harmonized with natal Mars in Virgo and North Node in Capricorn. But I have no influence on how candidates are assigned different nights for these debates – sniff!

If Beto lands on the second night of the second round of debates (July 31), the transiting Moon in Leo will harmonize with his natal Venus in Leo and all his Libra and Sag placements.

So anyway, then I made myself a paper chart to refer to in future debates. I turned the paper landscape style, and with some of the candidates names on the left and then their birth dates, I filled in little squares with the degree and sign of each of the planets and the North Node. I only did this for a handful of the candidates and I did not attempt to find out the time of birth, because it is still so early in the presidential campaign.

The candidates I selected were: Joe Biden, Elizabeth Warren, Mayor Pete Buttigieg, Beto O’Rourke, Kamala Harris, Mayor de Blasio, Michael Bennet, Steve Bullock, Bernie Sanders, Julian Castro, and Corey Booker. After the top four names from the national polls, I more or less picked the rest at random and on a whim. Feel free to make a reference sheet (Cheat Sheet) for yourself featuring the candidates you are most interested in!

For the record the first pair of debates were on June 26 and 27 in Miami; the Moon was in Aries on the first night and in Taurus on the second night. The second pair will be on July 30 and 31 in Houston; the Moon again will change signs, visiting Cancer on the first night and Leo on the second night. The third debates will be on Sept. 12-13 in Detroit; the Moon will be in Pisces both nights.

It is worth noting that Kamala Harris, who got a big boost from the second night of the June debate, has natal Jupiter in Taurus, the same sign as the transiting Moon. It does make me a bit nervous to think that the fortunes of all these candidates might hinge on the whims of the debate schedulers!

Add to the mix that July 31 is the date of a New Moon at 8 degrees Leo, while Mercury goes direct at 24 degrees Cancer (I am rounding off) that same night!! Another astrologer pointed out that 23 Cancer is the natal placement of the USA Mercury where it rules trade and media. Perhaps we will have some news regarding the effect of the tariffs on American companies and jobs around this time.

Also transiting Eris will be at 24 Aries, where it makes a T-square with transiting Saturn-Pluto in Capricorn and that Stationary Direct Mercury in Cancer. Eris is discord, and may indicate more protests and fighting over current events and government policies on any number of possible issues. Also it’s possible the stock market might wobble.

It is likely that any of the candidates who have natal planets anywhere from 20 to 26 degrees in Cardinal signs will feel the effects of this T-square, and likely to do so no matter which night they appear. So, taking a quickie scan through my homemade chart, I see some hits to Joe Biden, Sen. Warren, Mayor Pete, Beto, Sen. Harris, Gov. Bullock, Sen. Sanders, Julian Castro, and maybe just maybe Corey Booker whose natal Saturn is at 29 Aries.

It seems to me that Mayor Pete will be particularly hard hit in this July debate. His natal Saturn is at 22 Libra, natal Pluto at 27 Libra, and his North Node at 22 Cancer. Without knowing what night he will appear, I can venture no guess whether the result will be positive or negative for public reaction.

I think it is possible that Sen. Harris, Sen. Sanders and Gov. Bullock will get involved in some er, “brisk discussion” as it is politely called in political situations. Kamala’s Sun is at 27 Libra and her Moon somewhere around 20 Aries. Bernie’s Moon is around 20 Aries, his Venus at 22 Libra, and his Mars at 23 Aries. Gov. Bullock’s Sun is at 21 Aries AND his Mars at 25 Aries. So I frankly expect one of those “food fight” moments they tried so hard to avoid on the first go-round.

PLEASE NOTE: Some of the candidates were born on a day when the Moon changed signs, so I am not sure yet which sign to put their natal Moons in. Those candidates are (from my list anyway): Joe Biden, Mayor Pete, Mayor de Blasio, Sen. Bennet, and Julian Castro. I will try to find out a more exact time of birth in the coming weeks, hopefully before the September debates.

Meanwhile I hope you enjoyed this article and will tune in to the debates. Please promise me that you will vote in 2020!!

Comparison of Trump Birth Chart to George Washington Inaugural

Many people have run birth charts on Donald J. Trump in the past two years, also charts on his announcement he was running for president and on his own inauguration (which BTW was very poorly attended despite his protestations to the contrary). But I don’t think I have seen anyone compare his chart to the George Washington inaugural which I feel is a key chart for determining the merits of a candidate. The other charts I mentioned may show what kind of person he or she is, or what kind of candidate he or she is, but the GWI chart comparison should show what kind of president he or she will be, and whether he or she will be good for the country.

Will Jupiter-Saturn conjunction strike again at American presidency in 2021?

by Milky Way Maid

Holy Cripes! I took a gander at drawing up a chart for the Presidential Inaugural on Jan. 20, 2021, and it looks like the winner might wish he had lost. Go ahead, make your own chart for noon (or perhaps 12:05 or whenever you think the swearing-in will be finished) and have a look.

The Placidus chart I made has 14 degrees Taurus rising, with a nice trine to Venus at 15 Capricorn in the 9th house, so that looks like the nation and the press will welcome him and throw verbal flowers his way. However, close on the Ascendant are Mars and Uranus, both at 6 degrees Taurus in the twelfth house, which suggests an accident or perhaps a medical event that requires surgery and a hospital stay. Those two planets square Jupiter at 7 degrees Aquarius (with Saturn close by at 3 degrees).

Also foreboding is Pluto at 24 degrees Capricorn conjunct the Midheaven at 26 degrees. This is not good at all. To me, Pluto aspecting an angle means that things do not come off. An athlete has to withdraw from a competition before it occurs, or the event gets rescheduled for another time – things like that. It is possible that a public swearing-in cannot be held because of a return of the virus-that-cannot-be-named – although I’d kind of expect Neptune to be active in such a case.

In this case, with Venus in a happy aspect to the Ascendant, I would guess people welcome the new chief executive, but with Pluto breathing on the Midheaven maybe the administration cannot even get started before a strong challenge occurs. Perhaps Venus’ presence means that the outcome of the emergency, whatever it is, will be a lucky one.

I’ll give you the full details of the planets in this chart. Of course you can draw a chart yourself if you prefer a different house system.

SUN at 00 Aquarius in tenth house. Moon at 29 Aries in twelfth house. Mercury at 18 Aquarius in tenth house. Venus at 15 Capricorn in ninth house. Mars and Uranus at 6 Taurus in twelfth house. Jupiter at 7 Aquarius in tenth house (and Saturn is near at 3 degrees). Neptune is at 18 Pisces in eleventh house. Pluto at 24 Capricorn in ninth house near the MC. The North Node is at 19 degrees, 5 minutes Gemini in the second, so that this axis lies across the second to eighth houses. And Part of Fortune is at 12 degrees Leo in the fourth house, where its only close aspect is an inconjunct to that Venus.

Of course you are asking me what kind of aspects these make to the presumptive Democratic nominee’s chart? For one thing, Joe Biden’s natal Jupiter at 25 Cancer opposes that Pluto and Midheaven, not too bad. His own Pluto at 7 Leo squares transiting Mars-Uranus in Taurus, which doesn’t sound good at all, altho it could mean he foils protesters or secret plotters. Pluto and that Mars-Uranus make a T-square with transiting Jupiter in Aquarius, so he has a very challenging situation indeed. I suppose by then the economy will have been driven into the ground by poor decisions on the part of his predecessor.

Bernie fans will be pleased to note that his Saturn in Taurus and his Neptune in Virgo will make a grand trine with the inauguration Midheaven, a very fortunate aspect. However his Venus at 22 Libra and his Mars at 23 Aries will square that Midheaven, too; he can’t expect to get through without challenges during his term.

The dates of past and future Jupiter-Saturn conjunctions are as follows, courtesy of the Astrology King online:

Did Nostradamus try to warn us about Donald Trump as the “false trumpet”?

By Milky Way Maid

Recently I obtained a series of books written by Dolores Cannon, a regression hypnotist who authored several books based on her research. This particular series was about the work she did in contacting Nostradamus to ask him to clarify his famous Centuries, books of quatrains written in Old French that predicted a host of events from his time into the far future.

I am not a newbie to the Nostradamus material, having read a couple of other books whose authors took a stab at interpreting the poems. However, you could call me startled when Volume 1 of the series (printed in 1989) seemed to forecast the advent of a Donald Trump type.

Century I-40 says:

The false trumpet concealing madness will cause Byzantium to change its laws.

From Egypt there will go forth a man who wants the edict withdrawn, changing money and standards.

According to Ms. Cannon’s interpretation as channeled from Nostradamus, this refers to powerful leaders who are both religious and political. . . He says that “the false trumpet refers to fundamentalist-type religious men who distort the word of God and use for their own ends. He says that several of these men are striving for political power and they are banding together to help as many of them as possible to attain key posts in the government. A lot of these posts are not necessarily splashy or public. . . .”

The part about changing money refers to new laws in foreign countries that make it harder for Americans to change money when traveling abroad. To quote: “He says these men attaining political power will have repercussions all over the world. It will cause many countries in (eastern Europe and western Asia and the Middle East) the whole area there; leaders in this part of the world will become very alarmed by the development of things. They will start changing their laws in reaction to this, making it more difficult for Americans to travel in that part of the world. Some laws in particular that will be changed will be those having to do with the conversion of American money into other currencies and with trading with the United States. It will have negative repercussions.”

A second quatrain also appears to describe Donald Trump. Century V-75:

He will rise high over his wealth, more to the right, he will remain seated on the square stone;

towards the south placed at the window, a crooked staff in his hand, his mouth sealed.

Ms. Cannon wrote: “He says that this refers to a man in the United States. A man who is very wealthy . . . He says that this man will be well known and famous because of his wealth, but his true mission in life will be secret for this man will be a fanatic of sorts. He will involved with such organizations as the American Nazi Party and the Ku Klux Klan. That’s why he put in the phrase, “the crooked staff,” to represent the burning crosses of the Ku Klux Klan and the swastika of the Nazi Party. This man’s sole ambition in life is towards the overthrow of the American government as it is presently constituted in the twentieth century. He says this man naturally enough will also be involved in politics.”

“His mouth sealed” means that he will act in secret. I am going to step in and say that the reference to rising high refers to the tall towers he has built all over the country; it seems reasonable to also infer that “towards the south” could refer to moving to Washington D.C., which is south of his native New York City.

However, Cannon writes that the phrase “towards the south” means that the open activities he indulges in “and the mayhem he likes to cause” is aimed at the southern part of the country “where such mayhem has been somewhat traditional,” as she puts it. She’s being very oblique, shall we say, about referring to the continuing culture of glorifying the slave-owning South, suppressing the black vote, and in general keeping black people in a state of poverty.

Anyway, from our experience to date of Donald Trump in the White House, it seems that the Trumpet is really mere “trumpery” — which the dictionary defines as 1- Showy but worthless finery; 2- Nonsense, rubbish; and 3- Deception, trickery, or fraud.

Nuff said.
