This story is a gnarled tangle that probably merits a Netflix series of its own.  The astrological turns and twists are phenomenal.  It's the story of a double-agent; someone turning two opposing enemies against one another to his own advantage.  Manafort  attempted this game, and now another Trump henchman appears in the limelight to show us similar moves. 

George Nader was a witness often cited in the Mueller report who had entered a plea deal agreement.  This means in exchange for partial immunity from prosecution, he gave testimony to the Mueller team with the understanding that he would not commit any more crimes within a certain length of time.  He has been out of the country, and all has been quiet in the interim.  It has now become apparent he must have broken his plea deal at some point, which means he has voided his prior agreement.  After returning to the United States on Monday morning of this week, his indictment was unsealed and he was arrested on charges of transporting child pornography.  Because of the broken agreement, Nader can now be brought to justice.  According to the upcoming opposition between Mars, representing Nader himself, and Saturn, representing Trump's secrets, Nader is about to be pressed for more information implicating the President.


Side Note:  As we have seen in previous charts, there may be more than one Mars individual active at the same time.  So far, Stone, Flynn Cohen have taken turns filling the role of Mars.  Two things are required for someone to slip into these shoes:  They need to be in the public eye, and they need to be acting the role of Mars:  Either an employee of Trump (Mars rules the sixth of the tenth according to the Aries Ingress chart) or a threat to national security (Mars rules the eighth of the nation according to the Aries Ingress chart), or both.  Here I am going to discuss Nader as the primary Mars individual.  But please bear in mind that at this time, Flynn is hiring new attorneys.  His change in legal strategy may also be anticipated by the upcoming actions of Mars.

As those who follow astrology, we are privileged to see some things that transpire behind the scenes.  Our news cycles are currently so packed,  there are many events which we see on the chart may well be true yet will remain unconfirmed for now. The extreme event representing unseen action is demonstrated by antiscia: deliberately hidden, these are the most undercover actions of all.    


It is possible Nader, represent by Mars, has timed his return to the States and his resulting legal mess to pressure the President for a pardon:  in fact, at the time of perfect opposition between Mars and Saturn on June 14th, an antiscion or secret communication exists between Mars, representing Nader, and the nation's tenth house cusp at 12 Gemini, indicating the President.  However, this dynamic is countered by an antiscion between Saturn, representing Trump's secrets, and the Democrats/Nancy Pelosi, signified by the nation's fourth house cusp at 12 Sagittarius.  Whatever Nader knows, the Democrats are in on it, too.
​
 See Below:

Mars' opposition to  Saturn will perfect on the President's birthday, June 14th, shown above.  I do believe this upcoming opposition between Mars and Saturn represents the event triggering the President's ultimate loss of power, the conflagration of June 17th when Saturn reaches Trump's eighth house cusp. Leading up to that opposition,  Mars will conjunct the North Node, representing gain, as Saturn approaches the South Node of loss.  This signifies Nader holds the Trump card in his hand, pun intended.  Mercury is approaching the North Node at the same time, but Mars gets there first. We note as the North Node reaches conjunction with Mars, Mars and Mercury each have three points of essential dignity, meaning they have a similar level of power to carry out their scheme.  This is an ideal configuration for making a deal.  An agreement will be struck, but what are the implications?   It's complicated.  The essential dignities of the planets reveal more:  What's uppermost in Trump's calculations?  What's Nader's ultimate goal?  Let's dive in and see if we can find out where this wild ride is coming from, and its ultimate destination.  Hang on, friends!

The following are the dignities of Mercury, Mars, and the Moon, with the interpretations of the planets assigned by the Aries Ingress 2019:

Mercury 16 Cancer: the President and Trump Nation

Rulership:  Moon: Congress, or Mitch McConnell--5 points
Exaltation:  Jupiter:  Democrats, Foreign Powers, or the DOJ--4 points
Triplicity: Mars:  Trump's henchmen, National Security--3 points
Terms:  Mercury: The President and Trump Nation--2 points
 Face:  Mercury:  The president and Trump Nation--1 point


Mars 18 Cancer: Trump's Henchmen, National Security


Rulership: Moon:  Congress, or Mitch McConnell
Exaltation: Jupiter:  Democrats, Foreign Powers, or the DOJ--4 points 
Triplicity: Mars:  Trump's henchmen, National Security--3 points
Terms: Mercury:  The President and Trump Nation--2 points
Face:  Mercury: the President and Trump Nation--1 point


Moon 20 Scorpio: Congress, or Mitch McConnell

Rulership: Mars: Trump's Henchmen, or National Security--5 points 
Exaltation: None--Nil
Triplicity: Mars: Trump's Henchmen or National Security--3 points
Terms: Venus: The Nation's Legal Issues; Trump's progeny--2 points
Face: Sun: Fox News, Trump's Spokesmen--1 point 

So everyone here is in line for a mutually beneficial trade-off, with some deals weightier than others.  First, let's apply a bit of logic and intuition to eliminate a few possibilities which seem remote.  

I'm going to narrow down the field by making the assumption the Moon does not represent the entirety of Congress that is partially held by Democrats, but rather the Republican side that is working with or under Mitch McConnell.  The Aries ingress chart shows this sector is replete with foreign money.  In case you missed the post, the cusp of The Money of Republican Congress (second from the Nation's eleventh, or the Twelfth House cusp) is Nineteen Leo, heavily gifted with money from Jupiter: wealthy foreigners.  By contrast, the Democrats are represented by the nation's fourth house. The source of their money is the second from the fourth, ruled by Saturn, upholding the hard-working American common man.

It is very important to note that the Moon is in mutual reception with Mars.  This means Moon is ruled by Mars, while Mars is ruled by the Moon.  With this mutual relationship, the two entities, Mitch and his followers and Trump's henchman, Nader, will do anything possible to assist one another.  It's a risky move, but maybe Mitch figures he's gone along with foreign interests this far--whatever it takes to keep Trump's regime-ending secrets, it's worth a try.  This relationship strengthens both planets.

The Mars-Mercury deal: the likelihood Nader and the President will come to a mutual agreement is high.   Mars is strengthened by a mutual reception with the Moon.   Saturn, ruling the nation's fifth house and Trump's eighth house of secrets and the demise of his presidency, is conjunct the South Node of loss and perfectly opposing Mars, Mercury and the North Node.  The picture is of Trump outwardly denying Nader's story, certainly casting doubt on the testimony of someone at risk of legal jeopardy.  We've heard this objection before, with regard to Michael Cohen.  This story is getting old.  America may begin to wonder, "Why are Trump's most trusted cronies such unsavory types?"  

Over and above the agreement they reach, the planets of Trump and Nader are both in the exaltation of Jupiter, meaning they have a stronger allegiance to a foreign power than they have to one another.  This raises an interesting question:  Is Nader acting as a foreign agent in this transaction with Trump?  Is this agreement a ploy to bring this unpredictable Presidential Russian doll down?   If I could think this stuff up, I'd be a screenwriter, folks.  If it wasn't what the stars are saying, I would have said so.  

And finally, both parties are ruled by Moon, giving their highest and most immediate loyalty to McConnell and/or the Republican Congress.  Nader is in fact more responsive to McConnell than he is to Trump or foreign powers.  Interesting.    

This coincides with an increasing war cry from the House of Representatives shown by the nation's eleventh house cusp as within a day, Mars reaches a conjunction with the nation's eleventh house cusp, representing Congress, and the North Node, signifying a howling increase of aggression.  Because Mars is on the cusp of the eleventh house, There is a strong suggestion here that Nader will be brought to testify before Congress.  

It looks like Nader may be questioned by Congress about the deal he has worked out with Trump.  
 
So what evidence does Nader have to back up the story he's pitching to Congress?  Like Cohen, he's brought the receipts.  Nader's documents are shown by the third from Nader's cusp.  The Nations' third house is Trump's sixth house of employees.  Counting three houses from Scorpio on the cusp of the nation's third, Nader's documents are represented by Capricorn, ruled by the very concrete, black and white, can't-escape-the-evidential Saturn.  

To complicate matters further, Nader (Mars) opposes not only Trump's secrets, but potentially also Barr himself (Saturn), begging the question, who is Nader attempting to help?    

Mars opposed Saturn means that one (or more) of Trump's henchmen will bring his secrets forward.  The conjunction of Saturn with the South Node means Trump's secrets will be lost, resulting in Trump's loss of power.  Because Saturn is in Capricorn, these secrets come out in shattered chunks, which describes the present strategy of Congress.  Saturn retrograde means they come out repeatedly over time, with reluctance on the part of secret-keepers like Barr.
​
Note the next sign of the Moon is Sagittarius, marking the full moon when these and other matters concerning the President will be brought to light.

 Venus ingresses Taurus  5/15/2019  7:37 am 

This is the day Mueller was initially slated to speak before Congress regarding the Mueller Report.

Venus has moved out of a more vulnerable position, peregrine in Aries, into her own sign in Taurus, where she is strengthened.  Literally, peregrine means "wandering" or "lost."  Venus had a fall in status from exaltation in Pisces to peregrine in Aries on March 18, the day the Mueller report was released.  Interesting, because it was almost as though we had lost the Mueller report while it was weakened in Aries under Barr's care, but now that Mueller is preparing to take it over, its strength is returning.  This offers assurance that despite delays, Mueller will still testify.


Mercury squares the nation's twelfth and sixth house cusps at 19 Taurus 16.  5/16/2019  7:37 am 

The nation's twelfth house of self-destruction is Trump's third, or his spokesmen.  The nation's sixth of employees is Trump's ninth of legal matters.  Expect friction between Trump and his spokesmen at this time as he attempts to handle his legal transgressions while dealing with his media coverage.

Mercury reaches the degree of Mars (Aries Ingress)    5/18/2019   2:59 am

23 degrees Taurus 08 minutes.

This degree is within reach of Algol, the Medusa's Head, which is known as "the most evil star in the heavens." It can indicate both victims and perpetrators of violence.  At this time, Trump (Mercury) may be a danger to himself or others.  The nation (Mercury) may also enter a violent phase for the next few days.


Full Moon in Scorpio:  Sun with Algol               5/18/2019    5:10 pm 
Moon 27 Scorpio 38,  Sun 27 Taurus 38 

Moon in Scorpio, representing a corrupt Republican Congress, is in fall which makes her more disposed to maliciousness.  The Sun is with Algol, the violent star named above.  Mercury is also with the same star, although weakened by combustion. Mars represents the members of Trump's administration who would be under pressure not to testify against him.  Mars is with Propus in the constellation of the twins, expressing the inner conflicts experienced by those who struggle with a dual nature.  Venus and Mars are the two strongest planets in this chart, and powerful and stable Venus in Taurus, representing the Mueller report, is  reaching out to Mars in Cancer with a sextile, while treacherous Moon in Scorpio tugs on Mars with a trine.  Moon represents Trump's assets and Republicans in Congress.  Mars and Moon are in good reception, so Mars will be more likely to answer the Moon's call and fail to testify, or worse to perjure themselves, despite the fact the Republican Congress (Moon) is lacking in strength and pulling the administration (Mars) down.  Moon opposes Venus, but Venus is in far greater strength, so the rejection of the Mueller report by Republican congress only serves to defame them.  This is going to be a rough Full Moon.  The capitulation of the government to malice under Trump's administration is illuminated.

This month, we have seen the painful mess that this administration has made of our nation's democratic system of checks and balances.  The president's automatic response to justice, which is to obstruct it, is in full view.  Next month there will be a reckoning during the Sagittarius full moon of June, which will be focused on Trump's presidency.
    

Mercury conjunct Sun       0 degrees Gemini 13 minutes                    5/21/2019     9:12 am    17 Cancer rises

Mercury (or any planet) is weak and vulnerable when in conjunction with (combust) the Sun.  Generally Mercury in Gemini is in good dignity, but his power here is spoiled by combustion.  This is a low point for the president.  Although this aspect may imply he is unable to act, it seems more likely his actions will seem victim-like, as Mercury in combustion is overwhelmed, "burnt up" by proximity to the Sun.  His actions are dictated by Sun with Alcyone, a violent and tragic "weeping" star in the Pleiades cluster.   He will not be free of combustion (eight degrees from the Sun) and the Sun's beams (seventeen degrees from the Sun) until the first week of June, when he will ingress Cancer corresponding to a loss in dignity.   

Venus reaches the nation's Ninth House Cusp at seven degrees Taurus 26 minutes: 5/23/2019  8:27 am

Ivanka/Don Junior (Venus) go(es) to court, if not in a congressional hearing, then possibly in SDNY (Nation's ninth house cusp).  Venus rules the second house of the nation, which is the fifth of Trump. Trump progeny face charges regarding mishandling of inauguration funds.  Saturn rules the Nation's fifth and sixth house cusps: the nation's entertainments, and the money related to the nation's entertainments.  Venus is posited in the house of the funding of the nation's entertainment in the Aries ingress chart, meaning that Trump's progeny have had access to this money, and know who has it now.  

Mars squares the nation's eighth and second house cusps at 9 degrees Cancer 05 minutes. 5/30/2019 1:17 am

The nation's eighth house would signify national security concerns. or the secrets of the nation, the money of foreigners, or Kushner (the spouse of Trump's progeny=the seventh of the fifth of the tenth)  The nation's second house, ruled by Libra, signifies the nation's finances and Trump's progeny.  This aspect may refer to difficulty deriving for Kushner and his spouse (Ivanka, represented by the nation's second house, ruled by Venus), resulting from his foreign entanglements.   

​

Note the new significator for Barr:  In light of the Mueller letter of complaint to Barr, I am abandoning my hypothesis that Barr is signified by Jupiter, as his formal role would suggest.  I have found all along that he is strongly responsive to Saturn, so based on his actions, I am now assigning him to be signified by the Capricorn fifth house cusp of Trump's secret-keepers.

Mercury Squares Saturn   5/1/2019  4:50 am  7 Aries rises

Realizing that the attempt to mislead the nation (Mercury) about the Mueller report is now working against him, Trump (Mercury) seems to have turned on Barr (Saturn)  at a sensitive moment.  Saturn has just turned retrograde and perfected a conjunction to the South Node.  Under pressure, Barr may re-think his strategy and begin to admit what he knows about Trump's manipulation of the Mueller report, which reveals still another category of obstruction of justice.    

New Moon 14 degrees Taurus 11 minutes  5/4/2019  6:45 pm   29 Libra rises

This New Moon appears in the house of the nation's legal matters ruled by Venus, where the nation's attention is fixed at this time.  The late rising degree indicates the end of a cycle; in this case, it looks like the end of Barr's manipulation of the Mueller report.  We will look forward to a public resolution of this matter during the Full Moon, 5/18/2019.  During this New Moon, Venus is antiscion the nation's ascendant.  Expect leaks to the public regarding the Mueller report/Mueller's letter of complaint to Barr at this time.  

This is a New Moon, so apart from the leak by antiscion described above, the actions of the chart may not be entirely visible to the nation at large.

For your convenience, here are our house cusps and signifcators per 2019 Aries Ingress Chart:  First house cusp is 14 Virgo 45; Mercury rules Virgo, a double-bodied sign, represents people of the nation divided as well as Trump's fourth house of real estate property.The nation's Second house cusp at 9 Libra 05, ruled by Venus, represent's the nation's finances and Trump's fifth house of progeny.
The third house cusp, 7 Scorpio 40, is ruled by Mars, representing the nation's media and the sixth house of the employees of Trump.  
The fourth house cusp, 12 Sagittarius 39, is ruled by Jupiter, is the seventh of the tenth, representing Trump's opposition--the Democrats, as well as William Barr, head of the Department of Justice.   
The fifth house cusp, 18 Capricorn 45, is ruled by Saturn, representing the entertainment of the nation and Trump's eighth house of secrets and loss of power.  David Pecker would be one who is signified by Saturn here.  
The sixth house cusp, 19 Aquarius 16, is ruled by Saturn, representing the nation's employees and health care, as well as Trump's ninth house of legal issues.  
The seventh house cusp, 14 Pisces 34, is ruled by Jupiter, representing foreigners and Trump's tenth house, a position of authority over the President: Robert Mueller.   
The eighth house cusp, 9 Aries 05, is ruled by Mars, representing the nation's security or challenges to it and Trump's eleventh house of ambitions.  
The ninth house cusp, 7 Taurus 40, is ruled by Venus, representing the nation's legal issues and Trump's twelfth house of self-destruction. 
The tenth house cusp, 12 Gemini 39, is ruled by Mercury, representing president Trump, the Head of State.  
The eleventh house cusp, 18 Cancer 45, is ruled by Moon, representing the President's close allies, the Republican party, and Congress as a body.  Mitch McConnell would be represented by the Moon.
The twelfth house cusp, 19 Leo 16, is ruled by Sun, representing the nation's self-destruction and unknown enemies, as well as the President's third house of spokesmen like Rudy Giuliani, Fox News, and Sarah Huckabee Sanders.  The President's sister, Marianne Trump Barry, is also signified by the Sun.


New National Security Figures in Politics  

Julian Assange:  I am considering him, either in his role as a publisher or in his alleged role in obtaining classified documents through illegal means, as being represented by the nation's third house cusp found in Scorpio, ruled by Mars.  This is fitting, because he was alleged to be an operative working to destabilize the 2016 election, particularly acting against the Democratic candidate.  The Democratic party is represented by the fourth house cusp, in open opposition to the President's government (tenth house)  The third house, therefore, represents both the nation's media and those working unseen to the detriment of the Democrats (twelfth house of the fourth).

Mars 22 Gemini will oppose Jupiter 22 Sagittarius May 5, 2019 at 5:47 pm.   At this time, we may see Assange face a hearing regarding his legal issues in this country.  More on this when we examine events in May.    

Yujing Zhang:  Ms. Zhang is charged with illegally entering Mar A Lago and lying to federal officials.  It has not been established yet whether she will also be charged with espionage, but all the fancy electronic gadgetry and malware she brought with her seems to beg the question.  I am finding her on the nation's ninth house cusp of legal matters, as she first appears to the public in a courtroom setting.  The nation's ninth house cusp falls in Taurus, ruled by Venus.  This suits her case, as the nation's ninth is also Trump's twelfth house, where those spying on the President would be found.     

Venus square Jupiter perfects on Monday April 15, more below.  This aspect on the date of Ms. Zhang's hearing seems to suggest she will face difficulty in court.   

Update:  3:52 pm.  Yujing Zhang has pleaded not guilty to her charges and was denied bond, as she has been deemed a flight risk.  The FBI is currently investigating her case and further charges may be forthcoming.

4/15/19  6:57 pm:  Venus squares Jupiter:  Jupiter retrograde at 24 degrees Sagittarius 18 minutes, Venus at 24 degrees Pisces 18 minutes.
The role of the Treasury, signified by Venus, ruling the nation's second house of money matters, in resisting the direction given to the IRS to provide the President's tax returns is revisited by Democrats (Jupiter retrograde).

Another scenario involving the same significators (Venus and Jupiter) may arise, with attention on the role of the Trump progeny (Venus ruling Libra on the cusp of Trump's fifth) in foreign affairs (Jupiter ruling the Pisces cusp of the seventh house of foreigners).

   
With Moon in Virgo, congressmen (Moon opposed Venus) will voice objection to the interference of Steve Mnuchin in responding to the letter they addressed to the IRS, signified by  Venus in Pisces around or on Wednesday, April 17th.  Venus is conjunct Mercury, Trump's significator, so the president's interference in the direction to the IRS to release his tax returns will also be remarked.

Below is the chart for Venus square Jupiter, April 15, 2019.  The cusps are Aries Ingress cusps.  Notice Mars approaching the tenth house cusp.

4/19/2019 Full Moon in Libra  7:12 am Moon 29 Libra 07, Sun 29 Aries 07.  See chart below. Sun in Aries, positioned in the eighth house of the security of the nation, opposes Moon in Libra, positioned in Trump's fifth house of his progeny. 

Facts about security risks (Sun in Aries) associated with Trump's progeny's involvement (Moon in Libra, ruled by Venus) come to light.  In addition to questions of security clearances, this revelation may also indicate foreign money (Aries is the second house of money of the nation's seventh house of foreigners) showing up in the hands of Trump's progeny.  

Mars reaches the nation's tenth house cusp.  Mars at 12 Gemini 4/19/2019
Mars rules the nation's eighth house cusp of national security.  The President is identified with a specific national security risk, possibly indicated by Julian Assange.  

Venus (Trump's offspring) in Aquarius in the Aries ingress chart is positioned in the nation's sixth house, the house of the financing of Trump's inauguration.  
The presence of Venus here signifies their involvement in the mismanagement of the inauguration money. 

The Inauguration of a President is deemed by the Department of Homeland Security to be a "National Security Special Event."  This means national  resources will be devoted to guard the event from threats of terrorism or other criminal activity.  It looks like Trump's progeny have been dipping into "other criminal activity" here, and we are about to find out more:. 

https://www.nytimes.com/2019/02/27/us/politics/trump-inaugural-committee.html  


This Full Moon reflects the revelation of the facts regarding misuse of inauguration funds by Trump's progeny (Venus ruling Trump's fifth house cusp in Libra). The Inauguration event, is represented by the nation's fifth house cusp in Capricorn ruled by Saturn with the South Node, whose current theme is  "The President's Secrets Come Out Slowly in Pieces."  The money raised for the event is represented by the second from the fifth house, the nation's sixth house cusp in Aquarius, also ruled by Saturn.  This is mishandling of money is a crime, as well as a national security breach.  Venus takes a spill at 28 degrees Pisces 52, with the fixed star Scheat, which suggests a fall from high status, at the same time the Moon reaches full opposition to the Sun.  Notice the Moon, Sun and Venus in late degrees, indicating the end of the privileges  of the Trump offspring.  This revelation marks the end of Ivanka's/Don Junior's/Eric's participation as members of the White House staff.  In addition, Mars reaches Trump's first house at the same time.  Mars here may indicate that Trump's insistence on employing Kushner (as Ivanka's husband, he is signified by the Aries eighth house cusp)  Because Gemini is a masculine sign, Mars here has identified Trump himself as the initiator of a security risk, not the target of an assassination attempt or other attack on his person.  

Venus Ingresses Aries  April 20  12:11 pm  Venus at 0 degrees Aries 00 minutes.  Venus in severely diminished dignity, falling from exaltation to detriment.  Trump's progeny are acknowledged as a national security risk. 

Mercury reaches the nation's eighth house cusp (Aries Ingress).  
9 degrees Aries 5 minutes   4/23/2019  9:04 pm  Security concerns for the nation regarding the President come to the fore.  Trump causes a loss of power in his base, possibly due to aggressive written communication (Twitter) ruled by Mercury now in Mars-ruled Aries. 

Mercury reaches the nation's eighth house cusp (Aries Ingress)
9 degrees Aries 5 minutes 4/23/2019 11:58 pm

Venus reaches the nation's eighth cusp (Aries Ingress) 9 degrees Aries 5 minutes   4/27/2019  11:58 pm  
The security crisis (nation's eighth house cusp) involving Trump's progeny (Venus) cause a loss of power (crossing the eighth cusp) in Trump's base.  

Sun (Fox News/Rudy Giuliani/Trump's sister) reaches the nation's ninth house cusp (respecting the Aires Ingress) 7 degrees Taurus 40 minutes 4/28/19 at 1:38 am.  Facts about Fox News, Rudy Giuliani, Marianne Trump Barry to be revealed in a courtroom setting.

4/29/2019  8:55 pm Saturn goes Retrograde, Secret-keepers flip:  
Among Trump's many secret-keepers, look for Stephanie Winston Wolkoff,
a close friend of Melania's who was involved in the Inauguration Committee and who has been cooperating in investigations by the House Intelligence Committee.  Another name to watch for may be David Pecker, as well as anyone involved in a case with the Southern District of New York.  William Barr, who is highly motivated by Saturn, may begin to show a change in attitude.

Saturn perfects a conjunction to the South Node:  4/30/2019   5:00 pm
20 degrees Capricorn 31 minutes.  Saturn rules the nation's fifth house, which is Trump's eighth house of secrets--also his taxes.  The loss of Trump's secrets reaches a new level.  Expect to hear about Trump's tax returns at this time.  More secrets will continue to spill throughout the summer.  

We know that the release of the Mueller Report is a complex undertaking.   
The two major players are both highly regarded as professionals, but the only thing that seems transparent about the result of their investigation is the sheer number of red flags displayed in the process of releasing the report.  When I get confused by these tangled outcomes, I like to look at people's actions, not their words.  Watch their feet.   

Barr is delaying and obfuscating.  He has interjected an unnecessary opinion,
written several letters, offered materials to Congress which he has chosen to redact unnecessarily, and failed to request the release of Grand Jury material to Congress. 

By Barr's account,  Mueller did not provide the required conclusions in his report.  But Barr gives no justification for this void.  Barr does not explain why Mueller declined to charge Trump's campaign for conspiracy, and why he did not exonerate the President on obstruction of justice.  These are the things Mueller was responsible to do.   In addition Mueller, who is said by Barr to have concluded his investigation, is currently still engaged in at least one active investigation into foreign money.  

All of these irregularities serve to bring the country's attention back to the invisible Mueller report.  Venus is exalted in Pisces now, and we all feel the urgent need to know exactly what that elusive document concludes.  It's almost as though Barr's and Mueller's within-the-law but inexplicably off-target behaviors were designed to rivet our attention on what we are missing.

But why?


Here are some of the factors which have come into play, along with the astrological factors that we find in the Aries Ingress chart:

Mueller (Pisces on the nation's seventh cusp) and Barr (Sagittarius on the nation's fourth cusp) are both represented by Jupiter in Sagittarius, and both highly motivated by justice. Mueller is more inclined to be motivated by national security (his 12 Sagittarius cusp is in the triplicity of Mars, which rules the nation's eighth house of national security), while Barr is motivated to accomplish his goals by slowing down the release of information (His 14 Pisces cusp is in the exaltation of the South Node of loss conjunct Saturn, in this case ruling Trump's secrets.)  This means although the two may appear to be acting at odds, in fact they share a single motivation but take different actions to reach the same goal.


Jupiter is in a double-bodied sign, as are the cusps of both these men's houses.
A double-bodied sign, although it may be motivated by justice, is nevertheless capable of substantial duplicity while still staying within the law.  The fact these two share a single planet as a significator suggests an agreement between the two in how they take up their public roles. A skilled investigator knows how to "good cop"/"bad cop" a suspect with his partner while staying within the law.  My hypothesis is this:  Barr's Good Cop is set to delay the landing of the Mueller Report, placating the President and the Republicans in order to buy time.  Mueller's Bad Cop is set to expand his investigation in a new direction, evidently with the support of the Attorney General. 

If Mueller leaves the investigation, he will be free to speak about the report per Neal Katyal.  This is the way Katyal designed the rules to function.  The rules are meant to expose any attempted cover-up by the Attorney General by allowing Special Council to speak freely if he feels Barr has misrepresented his investigation.  

But Mueller, in fact has not suspended his work.  He is staying on to "tie up the loose ends of the investigation" per Rachel Maddow.  This still- active investigation involves, at least in part, the "foreign-bank-owned-by-foreign-country" element of the investigation which we have learned is still actively occupying a grand jury at this time.  This is a Mars matter, as the nation's eighth house is the second house (money) of the nation's seventh (foreigners). 

So is Mueller free to speak about his report, or not?

It looks like currently he can speak before Congress if subpoenaed, yet he will not be able to reveal details of the ongoing "foreign-bank-owned-by-a-foreign-country" investigation.

So, if our hypothesis is that Mueller has agreed with Barr to delay the release of the report in exchange for his ability to continue this branch of his investigation, what are the complications he needs more time to address?

1) Mars, ruling Aries on the eighth house cusp of National Security.  The public, represented by 14 Virgo on the cusp of the nation,  is not ready to digest the conclusions of the Mueller Report.  The Ascendant of the nation in a double-bodied sign has the potential to split the nation under the weight of an impeachment hearing.   This potential in itself constitutes a threat to National Security.  By contrast, during the Nixon impeachment hearings public testimony was televised daily as a nearly universal source of eyewitness testimony.    

2) Sun, ruling Leo on the twelfth house cusp of the nation's self-destruction.  This is the third house, or spokesmen of the President.  The cable "news" media is a significant factor in how the public screens information about the Mueller Report.  Fox News is owned by a family that is aligned with Russian interests.  In order for Americans to effectively answer their important questions about impeachment, this fact needs to become fully accessible to the public.

3)  Moon, ruling Cancer on the cusp of the Eleventh House.  Several members of the Republican Congress/Senate are very possibly tainted by corruption to the point they can no longer be trusted to act in the interest of the American people.  Mueller may already have evidence, but still need more time to untie the red tape necessary to bring his case to court.  This scenario could explain why Mueller is following foreign money while at the same time letting Barr dance around the release of his findings to date.  He may be buying time to complete his ongoing foreign-money investigation and pass his findings to appropriate authorities so he can block corrupted Congressmen from misusing the results of his investigation, or inappropriately tipping the scales on an impeachment hearing.    
 
The next Full Moon on April 19, 2019 shows significant connections between the Moon, the Sun and Mars and the 2019 Aries Ingress chart.  Here is a drawing of the chart, with planets at their Full Moon placements in red and Aries Ingress cusps and planetary placements in black.  We will discuss it in our upcoming Full Moon post.

4/1/2019 12:43 pm   Moon at 0 Pisces 57 squares Mars at  0 Gemini 57
Scorpio on the cusp of the sixth of  the tenth house, the employees of Trump, is ruled by Mars. Pressure from Congress to release the full Mueller report (Moon ruled by Jupiter) is countered by redactions performed by the Administration.  Mars has more strength than Moon here, so the administration will win out.  Expect the report to be delayed for more redactions.​

The Moon square Mars aspect may indicate Congress taking action to counter security clearance irregularities initiated by the President.  Mars rules the nation's eighth house cusp of security concerns in Aries.  

​Moon conjunct Venus 4/2/2019 at 2:31 am. at 7 degrees Pisces 46 minutes.
The following Moon conjunct Venus aspect focuses on Trump's progeny  (Mars rules the nation's eighth house cusp, Venus rules Trump's fifth house of progeny).  Congress takes up the question of Trump's nepotism: his fifth cusp in Libra, ruled by Venus.   
 
4/5/2019 4:50 am  New Moon at 15 degrees Aries 17 minutes.   Security concerns loom large, with both luminaries in the nation's eighth house.  The nation's attention is drawn to lax White House security.  Congress is intent on getting to the root of the matter.  This is a New Moon, so the result of this phase of the investigation is not revealed to the public yet.       

Jupiter goes Retrograde 4/10/2019 at 24 degrees Sagittarius 21 minutes: A Review of Mueller's Investigation begins.  

4/12/2019:  0:11 am  Mercury squares Jupiter for the third time in this retrograde cycle.
Trump obstructs justice, abuses power against Mueller/DOJ.  His action at this time may be acknowledged as a triggering a constitutional crisis.

4/12/19 11:05 am
​Moon at 20 Cancer 16 with North Node Opposes Saturn at 20 Capricorn 16  with South Node.  See below.

​​The Mueller Report is released to Congress, chart shown above.  Moon at Cancer 20 (Congress) Trine Venus at Pisces 20 (Mueller report), Venus (Mueller report) sextile Saturn 20 Capricorn (Trump's secrets).  4:12/19 11:05 am.  Loss of Trump's secrets (South Node with Saturn) is Congress' gain (Moon with North Node).  Saturn with the South Node represents the efforts to slow Trump's loss of secrets.

The most important determining factor in accurate astrological prediction is in choosing the correct significator for our subjects or objects.  Just as when we are looking at people in politics, documents in politics will be given different significators according to their function. Naturally, we need to consider the author of the document to find how it will be received and the impact it will have over time.  As a communication, a document and its effects will be described by the planet ruling the third house cusp of its creator.  Warning:  there is also the chart-turning required to find the significator of the author, so this process may produce vertigo in those not accustomed to turning the chart!

We are using the seventh house of the nation--the tenth of the tenth (the premise here is that Law is the authority over the President) in Pisces to indicate the Department of Justice and Mueller, signified by Jupiter.  The third house from the seventh cusp of his communication is in Taurus, ruled by Venus. 

Venus at twenty two degrees fifty-five minutes Aquarius signifies the Mueller Report.

William Barr is also signified by Jupiter, but his cusp is the fourth:  the authority over Mueller, so the tenth of the tenth of the tenth (are we getting dizzy yet?).  As he is represented on the nation's fourth house cusp, his third house cusp is in Aquarius, ruled by Saturn.  

Saturn at nineteen degrees fourteen minutes Capricorn signifies the Barr Letter.

Now we can judge the distinct purpose of these communications, the way these communications are received by their audiences, and the part they will take in the political scene over time.

The Mueller Report was released to Attorney General William Barr some time prior to Friday, March 22nd.  We do not have details about the precise time of its release, so we have no reason to think the March 21 prediction for the transmission of the Mueller Report was not accurate.  For me, that confirms Venus as the significator of the Mueller report.

Notes on the Mueller Report:  What Happened to Venus?

Barr was sworn in as Attorney General  in on Feburary 14, 2019. 

Here's what happened a week later:

We previously noted Venus escaping the orb of Saturn indicating loss of the President's secrets and at the same time conjuncting the South Node.  Now we can see this represented not only by the release of Mueller's report from secrecy constraints, but simultaneously also the loss or the breaking up / dismantling of the Mueller report as it originally existed: February 26, 2019

Because both Barr and Mueller are represented by Jupiter, this action would have been taken in the interests of justice and would not reflect a disagreement between the two, but a strategy mutually agreed on.  At this time, it seemed Mueller was ready to recognize that the information he had sought to prove a case of conspiracy was not forthcoming.  This would be the loss experienced by Venus conjunct the South Node.  

But absence of evidence is not evidence of absence when justice has been obstructed, so Mueller has no reason to lose hope. In Capricorn, the South Node shatters and breaks into pieces the object it encounters. Mueller has dismantled his report, but has passed on his investigations to various court systems.  As the Aries Ingress Full Moon implies, the pressing issue will be the president's involvement in foreign money schemes, and his resulting response to foreign influence.  We will begin seeing a large number of oppositions, which represent lawsuits as well as other disagreements, continuing through late June 2019.  By keeping these suits out of Venus-ruled Federal courts and free of presidential dangling pardons, Mueller can ensure better cooperation from the defendants named.

Mueller will stay on with the Department of Justice to tie up the loose ends of his investigation.  Jupiter, in fact, will go retrograde on April 11th. We can expect  a re-examination of Mueller's work at this time, followed by the third abuse of power or obstruction of justice from the President represented by Mercury square Jupiter perfecting the following day.  Jupiter, even when retrograde, is still stronger than Mercury in Pisces, so the outcome will favor Mueller.

On March 26 as I am writing, Venus is entering Pisces, where she is exalted.  The actual Mueller Report itself has moved into an elevated status, like the Holy Grail.  We can't see it, but we want to.  The chart for April 2, when Congress has set a deadline for the transmission of the report,  shows a conjunction between Moon and Venus at 2:31 am.  This is a good sign the report will be sent on this date.  Yet intriguingly, Mars, responsive to Trump in early Gemini gets a square prior to that, the initial aspect of the Moon in Pisces.  

Even when we see it, we may expect that the report will not be entire or intact, due to potential interference caused by redactions by employees of the administration represented by Mars square Moon, an aspect that perfects at 12:44 pm on April 1.  


Notes on the Barr Letter:  What's going on with Saturn?

Saturn rules the eighth of Trump, his secrets, his demise, and his loss of power.
Saturn in Capricorn is in the house he rules, indicating Trump's secrets are kept powerful and intact.  But that is changing as the South Node approaches Saturn, breaking up Trump's secrets and losing them.  Opposite the South Node in Capricorn is the North Node in Cancer in nation's eleventh house of aspirations, ruled by Congress represented by the Moon.  Trump's loss of secrets is the public's gain of information.  Saturn's orb is nine degrees on either side, so the South Node has been acting on Saturn this entire Aries ingress, and will perfect a conjunction with Saturn on April 30, 2019.  Due to the fact both the Nodes and Saturn are retrograde and extremely slow in motion, this aspect will continue to exert its influence straight through to the end of August when we will begin using the Libra Ingress for prediction.  

Saturn will turn retrograde and eventually reach the cusp of of the nation's fifth house on June 17th, resulting in the effective end of his presidency.  More on this on the following post, Saturn Reaches Trump's Eighth House Cusp.

Barr's letter is represented by the third of the fourth house, the nation's sixth house in Aquarius on the cusp of Barr's communication.  Being ruled by Saturn, the intention of the letter is to act as a baffle to keep the President's secrets and to slow the public's apprehension of the content of the Mueller report.  But as we can see, Saturn with the South Node has poor ability to keep secrets, and will continue over time to lose its ability to keep them.  

There are multiple indications on the Aries Ingress chart of 2019 that Trump will not complete his presidential term in office this year.  First: the tenth house cusp of the year is in Gemini, the sign of duplication, suggesting someone else will have the opportunity to step into his role.  Second and third: Mercury, the significator of the President, is retrograde and under the Sun's beams.  Fourth: Saturn, the Lord of Trump's Capricorn eighth house cusp associated with loss of power/loss of secrets, will reach that cusp before our 2019 Libra Ingress chart comes into play in late August.  Fifth: the Sun, usually a significator of Presidential power, is setting.  All this leads to the question of timing: when will Trump leave office and/or become utterly powerless in his role?

This is the question that was once forbidden to astrologers.  In Tudor England, it amounted to treason to consider the stars predicting the death or demise of the monarch.   

But we live in a country which has rejected monarchy and the lifelong power associated with it.  It is no longer necessary to remove royalty from the throne by assassination.  Rather, in the United States of America, our constitution ensures that one presidency will be succeeded by another in due course, so it is not forbidden for us to discuss the factors leading to the next change in presidency.

As troubling as our current phase of history is, we know it will eventually come to a close.  But some worry that we are risking the continuation of our democracy by allowing it to decay from the inside.  This represents a growing division in the Democratic party:  those who favor countering Trump by electing a Democratic president in 2020, and those who favor countering him by impeachment before the constitution becomes moot under his corroding influence.  This is the predicted dual nature of the Sagittarius fourth house of the 2019 Aries Ingress.  House speaker Nancy Pelosi has come out in support of both camps:  she states she is not in favor of impeachment "barring definitive proof of something compelling and overwhelming and bipartisan."  Her position is that Trump "is not worth" the division of the nation an impeachment would cause otherwise.

As for the Republican party, the division predicted by the Gemini cusp of the Aries Ingress chart for 2019 evidently falls between those who support the Constitution first and uphold the separation of powers, and those whose loyalty is to Donald Trump personally.

The divided state of the nation is playing out to its extreme when Saturn retrograde reaches the cusp of Trump's eighth house of loss of power on June 17, 2019.  Saturn reaching this degree indicates the end of Trump's presidency.  Either he will resign, be indicted, be impeached, abscond from office, or otherwise lose presidential power to the point he is no longer a viable force in politics.    

The answer to this question will give us a sneak peek into the end game of the Trump-versus-Justice struggle. You may wonder why we are "skipping ahead" to this point of the plotline.  Simply, it is because knowing the end will help us more clearly interpret the effect of the planets' motions during the upcoming middle game.  It's one of the advantages of studying astrology, so I say let's make use of it!  

Here Ramesey describes the method of predicting dire events using the Ingress chart.

Look when the afflicting planet comes to the perfect conjunction, square or opposition of your significator, and at that time say the evil threatened will come to pass; or when the afflicting planet comes to the cusp of the house signifying any person or persons of whom you would judge, or to the place, i.e., degree and minute of the sign wherein the planet which is your significator is located, and say then the evil shall happen, unless the fortunate aspects of the benevolents thereunto at the same time prevent it; and if so, then also see what house that fortunate planet is lord of, and where located, and of what, significator, and judge the deliverance or prevention to proceed from the person, persons or things signified by the nature and signification of the planet, sign and house he is lord of, posited in, and is significator of, etc. but if the aforesaid conjunction, square or opposition be in an angle, then judge the evil portended to happen when your significator becomes combust of the Sun.

William Ramesey's Astrologia Munda, Book IV Section II Chapter I p. 38

​To be brief, Ramesey says this question can be answered by timing Saturn's arrival on Trump's eighth house cusp at 18 Capricorn 45.  Above is the chart for June 17, 2019 at 6:13 pm in Washington, DC.  It's a little startling on first glance,  but this is the culminating event of a political year beset by division, after all.  

You will see several planets circled in the notes on the handwritten chart below.  The following planets are in antiscion with one another, indicating covert activity.  Sun is in antiscion with Moon.  This means Congress has covert access to information originated by a spokesman of Trump, and/or vice versa.  Venus is in antiscion with Mercury, meaning the President has access to covert information by way of  his progeny or by way of a source within the nation's legal system, or vice versa.   Saturn is in antiscion with the fourth house cusp. meaning the Democrats and Barr in the Department of Justice have access to covert information originating from Trump's secret-keepers.  Because the cusps always oppose one another, Saturn is in contrantiscion to Trump, who is represented by the tenth house cusp.  Saturn retrograde means his secret-keepers have turned against him.  The contrantiscion means one of his secret-keepers is working against him on the level of a covert personal attack.
    

​Our previous post described the present moment of the Aries Ingress chart.  In this one, I'm going to explain a little about how prediction using a traditional Ingress chart works.  I am relying on my usual sources, Christian Astrology by William Lilly and Astrologia Munda by William Ramesey. Where my understanding of those sources fails, I fall back on my experience with horary astrology.  If you are interested in predictive astrology, you may find this post useful.  If you don't care to go down this particular rabbit hole, you might want to skip this post and go on to others more to your liking.

If you are familiar with this blog, you will see that the Aries Ingress features prominently.  All the posts refer to this master chart for 2019 in some way.  This is due to traditional astrology's reliance on the Vernal Equinox to set the tone for the current year.  Although Julius Caesar changed the celebration of the New Year to the beginning of January, traditional astrologers still refer to a time when the beginning of the year corresponded with the first day of Spring, or the Vernal Equinox.*

*This year, we in the USA will use two charts in mundane astrology because the ascendant of the Aries Ingress falls in a double-bodied sign.  This means the first half of the year will be very different than the second half, so we will use both the Aries Ingress and the Libra Ingress in turn.  Fixed signs on the ascendant of the Vernal Equinox require only one chart to be followed for the year, while cardinal signs require four charts: one for each of the equinoxes and solstices in turn.  

In perusing this blog, you will find references to the Aries Ingress chart of 2019 beginning in late February of 2019.  This is because we use an ingress chart--or any predictive chart-- for past, present and future.  I began referring to the Aries Ingress in February because although the Aries Ingress takes place in March, any chart shows the past in separating aspects, the present in exact (also called perfect) aspects, and the future in applying aspects between planets.  


The Past (as of the Vernal Equinox) Using the Aries Ingress

Knowing that the astrologer is required to transition from focus on one chart to the next at some point, the following questions come to mind:   

1) Q:  Help me get a sense of how this chart and the previous ingress are related.  What chart did we use prior to the 2019 Aries Ingress?

A:  The previous Ingress chart of 2018 was the Capricorn Ingress.  This is because the Aries Ingress of 2018 was a Cancer rising chart, and as a result we use all four cardinal ingresses in turn to study that year.     

2) Q: When did we begin using the Aries Ingress in preference to the 2018 Capricorn Ingress chart?   

I can't speak for all astrologers, nor was I able to find a direct answer to this question in my source material.  So I followed my experience with horary* predictions and began using the aspects that showed as separating on the 2019 Aries Ingress when they reached their orb.  When I found the predictions corresponding with those aspects were proved valid by the events that occurred, I took it as confirmation that the Aries Ingress could be used from that point forward for prediction.

*Horary astrology is the predictive form of Western astrology used to answer questions.  I have been following this practice for the past nineteen years.  This is the first opportunity I have taken to apply similar predictive techniques to mundane astrology,  I am learning a lot from the experience!  But I expect to develop more understanding with practice, which is one reason I emphasize entertainment when describing this blog.
Besides, we all need to laugh more, especially when it's at our own expense!

3) When will we stop using the Aries Ingress?

This year we will be re-testing the hypothesis above, which will require us to study the 2019 Libra Ingress beginning in late August for aspects which will appear as separating on that chart.  When those aspects produce valid predictions we will switch over to the Libra Ingress, describing the second half of the year.   

The Importance of Signifcators Derived from the Aries Ingress Chart

To describe how we use the Aries Ingress chart for prediction, we look to this moment to cast the roles of all seven visible planets for the first half of the year.  From now on, Mercury will always be Trump and those in the nation who are aligned with him.  This is because Mercury rules Virgo on the cusp of first house (the nation) and Gemini on the cusp of the tenth house (the Head of State).  From now on, Venus ruling Libra on the cusp of the second house will always represent the nation's financial resources and Trump's progeny (the second house is fifth of the tenth).  Venus will also rule Taurus on the cusp of the ninth house of the nation's legal issues, which is Trump's twelfth house of self-destruction.  From now on, Mars ruling Scorpio on the third house cusp of the will always represent the nation's media and communications, and Trump's sixth house of employees.  Mars, ruling the Aries cusp of the eighth house, also represents the nation's of loss of power and Trump's eleventh house of aspirations (the eighth house is the eleventh of the tenth).  From now on, Jupiter ruling Sagittarius on the fourth house cusp will indicate those of the nation in open opposition to Trump.  Jupiter will also play the part of the nation's seventh house, indicating foreign countries.  The seventh house is also the tenth of the tenth, or the authority over Trump; hence, the Department of Justice.  From now on, the Moon will play the role of the Congress of the United States of America, in other words, the nation's aspirations, and the second house or aides, money and resources of Donald Trump.  From now on, the Sun ruling Leo on the cusp of the twelfth house will represent the self-destruction of the nation as well as those who speak on behalf of the President, for the twelfth is the third of the tenth.

The Future Using the Aries Ingress

The Planets and the Cusps

According to Ramesey, the cusps of the Aries Ingress chart will still be used to time significant events in the coming year.  I will give an example of this type of exploration in the next post, Saturn Reaches Trump's Eighth House Cusp.  This means we can set a chart for such an event, then project the new placements of the planets into the cusps of the 2019 Aries Ingress chart to see what changes are coming in the future.  I find it simpler to amalgamate this combined chart when I draw it by hand.  We must not lose sight of the fact that planets only rarely stand still, and each has its own speed.  We will find over time that many planets have moved into a new sign, gaining or losing essential dignity; or into a new house, changing their area of operation. Sometimes they have moved into orb with a fixed star that has a special significance, or perhaps one planet has developed an antiscion with another planet.   Planets formerly direct in motion may have entered retrograde motion, and vice versa. We will look at changes in their strength.  And we will look at the aspects they form with other planets to see in what ways they challenge or support one another, and most importantly for prediction, which forces will ultimately prevail.

The Perfection of Aspects

Another way to study the Aries Ingress for prediction is to find out when an aspect of the chart will become perfect, and to set a chart for the exact moment of perfection.  So far, I am using this sort of chart in combination with others of its kind to create a series of charts that describe a sequence of events.  The aspectarian provided by your software shows the aspects you can expect to see on a given date at a given time.  An Ephemeris is also useful for finding the day these aspects perfect. I use shared software on traditional settings to further refine the precise timing of the aspect to the degree and minute.*  Then I study the aspect further by plugging all the resulting planetary positions into the Aries Ingress cusps, as described above.  

*I have a feeling that each of these charts tells a story of its own, but I have not been able to determine exactly how they work yet.   I believe Ramesey writes about this, but I'm still combing through Book IV to find the citation.  Meanwhile, I'm experimenting.  In the interim. I will look for an example of this sort of chart to discuss in an upcoming post.

A few more questions about mundane predictions:

Q:  How are all three implicated Trump employees described by a single planet?  Don't they each have different outcomes?

A:  Cohen, Stone and Manafort, deriving from the nation's third house cusp in Scorpio, which is the President's sixth house  describing his employees, are all signified by Mars.  Scorpio is a prolific sign, producing a host of progeny.  These men all operate in the nation's ninth house of legal matters, where they all share the dire risks and ill fame associated with Algol.  If we wanted to know more about each of their individual legal outcomes, we would need to consult each of their birth charts.

Q:  Why don't we use their birth data and study their birth charts?  

A:  Speaking for myself, I must confess my limitation.  Natal astrology is not my field.  But I do know that there is very little to be gained from birth data if we do not have the time of birth.  This time will show their Moon sign, their cusps, etc.  Too much information is lost without the time of birth to make this study viable, in my mind.  Perhaps a gifted natal astrologer will step forward to rectify their times of birth and tell us more about their individual outcomes.  Meanwhile I believe there is still plenty to be learned from the the Aries Ingress chart without being sidetracked by the lack of natal data.  

Here is the Aries Ingress Chart for 2019, standard format.  My hand drawn chart is below.   


March 20. 2019 is the date of the Vernal Equinox, 2019.  It marks the Sun's ingress into the sign of his exaltation, Aries.  By the time the day is over, we will also see a Full moon, heralding a new revelation of truth regarding the influence of a foreign power over the spokesmen and media for the president.  We can surmise this because the time of the Sun's entry into Aries, the Sun is setting in the seventh house of foreigners.  Looking at the cusp of the twelfth house, which is in Leo, Sun represents those who speak on behalf of the President.  This would include Rudy Guliani, Fox News, and individuals such as Sarah Huckabee Sanders and Kellyanne Conway.   The setting sun may also indicate a note of waning mental power or the influence of cognitive decline.  For example, "Sundowning" is known to those who care for individuals with dementia or other neurological challenges).  https://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/alzheimers-disease/expert-answers/sundowning/faq-20058511

Up until her opposition to the Sun at the point of the Full Moon, the Moon remains Void of Course.  Moon rules the eleventh house of the Republican Congress/Senate, Trump's money, and aides supporting Trump.  The Moon Void of Course does not mean that nothing will happen this year. It does mean that we will still spend a good deal of time wondering what Mitch McConnell, the majority leader of the Republican Senate, is up to.  The "Where's Mitch?" theme is reflected here.  House and Senate Republicans seem unable to rouse themselves from the grasp of inertia.. . or, we may suspect, something more incriminating.  

As the Full Moon reveals the matters of the Moon, we may find out very soon why the Republican Congress is so slow to act, and in addition we may learn more about the foreign influence over the President's financial obligations (Sun in the seventh house of foreigners opposes Moon ruling the President's second house of financial resources.)  This timing aligns with the predicted transmission of the Mueller Report on March 21 at 10:00 am, corresponding with Venus (the Mueller Report) perfecting a sextile to Jupiter.  
 
Mercury, ruling both the Gemini tenth house cusp of the President as well as the Virgo first house cusp of the Trump nation , is found retrograde in the seventh house and under the Sun's beams.  Here he shows the vulnerability of the President (retrograde and under the beams of the Sun) as well as his immersion in foreign influence (in the seventh house).

Venus rules Libra on the cusp of the second house of the nation's treasury.  This is the fifth of the tenth, notably representing Trump's progeny.  Venus also rules Taurus on the cusp of the nation's ninth house of legal matters and the self-destruction of the president.  

I do not expect Ivanka and Donald Trump Junior to become major players until Venus enters Pisces at the end of March, just about when Felix Sater testifies to congress.  Her dignity will be much enhanced then, better corresponding to the Trump progenys' privileged role in the White House.  The Mueller Report, also represented by Venus, will also gain more credibility with Sater's testimony at this time.  We will go into this in more depth in the next post, when we talk about using the Aries Ingress chart for prediction.

At the time of the 2019 Aries Ingress, Venus is found in the sixth house of the nation's employees, which is also Trump's ninth house of legal matters.  Venus is in poor dignity in Aquarius,  only in her own terms, and under the rulership of Saturn where she is oppressed.  This is a woman who is struggling to survive relying on only her most basic femaleness, and not appreciated for exercising more comprehensive feminine or simple human potential.  Stormy Daniels and others who have entered Trump's legal sphere under non-disclosure agreements come to mind.  Trump's twelfth house cusp of self-destruction is ruled by Venus.  Trump's greatest source of trouble is his legal matters concerning women, as his actions have led to allegations of campaign finance violations currently being explored in the nation's ninth house of legal matters, with Taurus ruled by Venus on the cusp.  The signification of Venus representing Stormy Daniels and others in a similar situation is confirmed by Michael Cohen's testimony before Congress on February 27, the day Venus escaped the influence of Saturn.  

As confirmation of Venus' signification, Stormy's non-disclosure agreement was found to be invalid by a California judge on March 7th, in the week following the liberation of Venus from Saturn's influence.  

Mars rules Scorpio on the cusp of the third house. representing the nation's media as well as Trump's sixth house of employees.  Mars also rules Aries on the cusp of the nation's eighth house of loss of power, which is Trump's eleventh house of aspirations.  The planet Mars is found in the nation's ninth house of legal matters, in dangerous proximity to the notorious fixed star Algol.  The signification of Mars as corresponding with Cohen has been confirmed by Cohen's testimony beginning Tuesday February the 26th, which is also the day Mars reached the cusp of the twelfth house of self-destruction of Trump and the ninth house of the nation's legal matters.   
 
Jupiter ruling Sagittarius on the cusp of the fourth house represents the Democratic House and Senate in open opposition to Trump, who is represented by the tenth house cusp.  Jupiter also rules Pisces, the sign on the cusp of the nation's seventh house of foreign countries.  This seventh house is also the tenth house of those in authority over Trump, for example the Department of Justice.  Most of the actions (repeating squares between Mercury and Jupiter) we have seen on this subject to date have been taken by the president, represented by Mercury, lashing out against Mueller and the Department of Justice--which serves only to add more evidence to the case against Trump for obstruction of justice and/or abuse of power.    

The fifth house cusp represents the nation's entertainment as well as Trump's secrets and his loss of power.  Capricorn on the cusp here is ruled by Saturn.  Saturn is only one degree over the cusp.  Along with his significator Mercury being retrograde and combust the sun in an angle, the nearness of Saturn to this cusp is another indication that Trump will leave office before the completion of his term.  We will discuss the timing of this event in an upcoming post.  Meanwhile, Saturn ruling his own house here suggests someone very powerful in charge of Trump's secrets who is keeping them locked away inside his own house.  If we need Saturn to signify an individual, someone like David Pecker comes to mind.  The fifth house is also where the South Node is placed, indicating an upcoming loss of secrets.   

The following bracketed note is for astrology lovers.  It may be a little too technical to interest the average reader:

{Now that we know what Saturn signifies, let's go back to the fourth house for a moment. A notable feature of the fourth house cusp is its antiscion with Saturn.  An antiscion forms when two important points of the chart share a "shadow aspect" caused by both degrees having an equal length of day and night.  This happens because they are at equal distance from their nearest solstice, which is why they are also referred to as "solstice points."  These points can be found either in relationship to the degrees of planets or house cusps.  Saturn, at nineteen degrees Capricorn fourteen minutes, has an antiscion point at eleven degrees Sagittarius forty-six minutes.  The fourth house cusp falls at  twelve degrees and twenty minutes of Sagittarius, well within the one degree and thirty minute orb of antiscion.  All of that may seem quite technical, but it renders very useful information to the astrologer, because an antiscion reveals an otherwise obscure or indirect transaction between the planets or house cusps involved.             

All of this tells us that the Democrats, represented by the fourth house cusp at twelve Sagittarius, have privately been granted access to material concerning Trump's secrets, represented by Saturn.  This would be in addition to materials gathered through official channels.

In the world of antiscia as in the world of Newtonian physics, for every action there is an equal and opposite reaction.  So while Democrats are getting a boost from knowing Saturn's secrets, the tenth house directly opposite the fourth house (Trump) is getting a private butt-kicking from Saturn (Kellyanne Conway is solar, so her spouse is signified by Saturn ruling Aquarius seven houses distant from Leo).  Or in this case, maybe not so private.  Twitter may be indirect, but not as discrete as most contrantiscia of the pre-social media era. 

At any rate, astrology followers may note the Twitter brawl breaking out between his aide's (Sun's) spouse (Saturn) and the President (Tenth Cusp) serves to draw our attention to the possibility that a contrantiscion attack may be indicated by such activities on social media.}  

The sixth house cusp in Aquarius is also ruled by Saturn, therefore Venus in this house is currently under obligation to keep Trump's secrets, but is growing more able to liberate them as the South Node of loss approaches Saturn.  The light will reveal more as it grows brighter.  We will discuss time frames in the next post on prediction.
