"The natal chart is like a seed and progressions are the unfolding in time of that into the plant it is to become. Transits, are like a daily weather report. In political astrology, these three factors have to be taken into account!"

re: solar energy - what a great site to read early monday morning every week. now, as republicans take hold of everything, children and grandchildren have to worry about climate and breathing clean air !!!! So let me come to main point, what will happen to Elon Musk??? NO, solar power or no subsidies to solar so is going to bring some problems???? As always your advice goes a long way and your insight into any topic you discuss is worth reading and digesting, so please comment if you can.
re: election - Like millions of other people in the United States I am devastated by Trump's election success. Hillary could still take the White House if on Dec. 19, 2017 when the electoral college votes enough members vote against a Trump presidency. I understand this has never happened in our history. However I looked at the planets on Dec. 19th and the Sun is opposite Trump's Sun and Mercury turns retrograde on that day. My question to you is: Do you think there is a possibility that could actually happen? Your time and efforts in fulfilling my request are greatly appreciated. Thank you for your generosity in sharing your knowledge of astrology with the world.
re: election - How did astrologers go so spectacularly wrong? Every astrologer I read was wrong----and I read quite a few.. Not one predicted Trump. Also most of the polls called it wrong too.
re: election - I enjoy your website and your astrological analysis as it relates to current events. Although many Astrologers got it wrong regarding who would win the Presidency to be fair you did point out some of Hillary’s astrological challenges and I credit you for that. You also do a better than most job of keeping your personal ideology out of your analysis, something other Astrologers could learn from. Look forward to your analysis of 2017 with President Trump.
re: election - it seems it's now underlined, that the biggest picture here is the dark side of capitalism. (As far as our political elections---money in our politics for one thing.) Is this what you meant about what the astrological signs are showing us? I've always thought you were so right on about the United States having Scorpio rising by the way. And it seems really obvious now...
re: NewsScope - I always enjoy your newsletter. This week is especially potent. Thank you for your efforts.
re: your 3/21/16 column - you wrote "in 2016, if it becomes Hillary vs. Trump...it is possible that a 3rd party candidate could step in ,making it possible that no candidate receives the 270 electoral votes needed to win." Now that Jill Stein has gotten a recount ordered in 3 delegate-rich states, do you still see this as happening? I love your column and look forward to it each week. Your insights are amazingly accurate.
re: Electoral College - Lately I’ve been thinking about Mercury going Retro (conjunct Pluto) on the very day the Electoral College is meeting—Dec 19 and then Uranus going Direct on Dec 29. Don’t you think there will be some changes with all the recounts of votes in the Rustbelt? Thanks for all the insights you provide each and every week!
re: Ivanka Trump - She seems to be playing a pivotal role in her father's business dealings, campaign and forming presidency. Please tell us more about her, and her relationship with her father. Is she safe? Is she trapped? Is she walking a tightrope emotionally? Does she have any control or much influence?
re: war in 2017 - I have been wondering about it since 2008. A lot of astrologers were able to foresee the economic impact of 2008 and compared it to 1929. At the time, I felt that the economic downturn of 1929-32 staged the WWII around 1939. Financial downturns damage human lives. The result of a downturn, or the "fix" of financial downturn is a major cause for war, when the people see that wealth is re-distributed unfairly. However, no astrologer has given any clue of a major war after 2008, until I see your articles on 2017.
re: election - Thank you as always for your well-written News Scope. It took me a while to watch the video at the end of your piece. Wow. I really feel powerless. The only thing I could think to do was share that link with everyone I know. I shared it in a secret group on Facebook and I emailed it to friends.
re: election - Like you and others, I didn’t expect Donald Trump to win but was pleasantly shocked! He won despite what the stars seem to imply (transiting Saturn siding up to his Moon and opposing the Sun). ... You’re always current and always on target. Thanks for your column and thanks for listening to my version.
re: Bannon - Would you consider analyzing Steve Bannon's chart? I'd love to read your insights.
re: Trump's ACG map - Note that Trump's Mars descendant on his AstroCartoGraphy chart runs right through Pyongyang, N. Korea. Does this suggest N. Korea's saber rattling might provoke some type of militant destabilization or weakness for Trump?
A. It does indeed suggest an area where Trump might feel the urge to engage militarily or where military conflict might erupt.
re: Trump's Juno - This bit of research provides fabulous insight - or should I say confirmation of every thinking person's fears. Great work. The news itself, however, is disheartening!
re: the next war - After rereading your Sept 5th and Nov 2st columns, I got the impression that our next war maybe a war within. Perhaps sparked by the S. Dakota pipeline protests? Is there any indication with whom we would be going to war with in 2017? Foreign or Domestic? If foreign, do you foresee another 911 type terrorist attack?
re: Trump - You've hinted at a lot of stuff for some time. Political commentators have as well. Do you see the Trump presidency either coming to fruition or--if it does--lasting four years? If it does not last or does not actually occur at all is some actual Other determined by the other Oath of Office--whenever that might be?
A. In my article about the ceremonial Oath of Office horoscope, I show how Trump's inauguration chart is similar to JFK's and Nixon's because all three have Part of Fortune in hard aspect to Black Moon Lilith. And we know how both JFK's and Nixon's terms ended tragically before four years...
re: Sibley U.S.chart - I use the Sibley with good results. However, that is not to say that the Scorpio Rising chart isn't valid. Different perspectives may manifest in different charts. However, I'd like to point out the perspective of a friend whose spent 50 years in NGO work all over the world.
She knows little about astrology other than her own sign. However, she has often criticized the U.S. presence in port after port where she has been. "They always have to have the biggest ships. You always know when they are around. Why can't they make a softer
footprint???!!!!"
Yes, that's a display of power, although Scorpio says to me CIA, not giant battleships. More importantly to me, given that the Rising sign is the way you are perceived by others - this international display of overwhelming size speaks to me of Jupiter.
A. I wonder how many political enthusiasts can tell the difference between a Sagittarius Ascendant and a Sun-Jupiter conjunction trine the Ascendant? When 8º Scorpio is rising, the U.S. Sun-Jupiter conjunction in Cancer trines the Ascendant, bestowing all the grandiose qualities you see in a Sadge Ascendant.
Here's another perspective about a Scorpio Ascendant besides the secrecy thing: it resonates with the 8th house, and thus capitalism. And with four planets in the 8th house, the theme is much emphasized.
In addition to the Sun-Jupiter trine the Ascendant, it does so from the 9th house. What's the difference between the Sun in the 9th house and a Sagittarius Ascendant? I asked Jeff Jawer this once, and he couldn't say.
And with four planets in the 8th house, the U.S. has become a national umbrella for the powerful corporations that dominate the planet. Yes,they leave a huge "footprint" most everywhere, especially via innovative technology (Uranus), the military (Mars), the cultural celebrities (Venus), and the banking system (Jupiter).

re: KellyAnne Conway - If I understand your blog correctly, according to Trump's progressed moon entering his 12th house, we can expect the potential of his downfall, or at least serious setbacks, beginning in June. Can you speak about the same prospect for KellyAnne Conway, when she'll be out of the news?
A. Unfortunately, we don't have a birth time for her, making her situation difficult to assess. However, she will likely be a significant and controversial news item for at least two more months as the transiting Uranus-Eris conjunction opposes her Mars.
re: inaugurations - You know how you've cited similarities in JFK's, Nixon's, and Trump's inauguration charts? Are pivotal events apparent in these charts? Can you say "a-ha see right there? THAT is end of Nixon" (or JFK [much more definitively...]) and therefore Trump? Have you looked at the key historical moments and how they impact--specifically--the inauguration charts?
A. That would entail a major research project, but I've given some of the indicators for these presidential transitions in my article on this subject. Go to 2017Inauguration, and scroll down to "Black Moon Lilith and the Part of Fortune".
re: climate change - Although conserves DO want a clean planet, the whole *climate change-global cooling-global warming* hysteria is whipped up BULLS*** by people like Al Gore and a bevy of others to make money. It was further hyped by *oPharoah and the DemonCraps* to push his cap & trade garbage in order to bring the US down so that he could 'level the playing field' with 3rd world countries, and penalize businesses financially, send our dollars to other countries to do more APOLOGIZING from the big bad USA, and ultimately completely destroy the fossil fuel industry. In reality this whole climate change crap is the liberals' RELIGION.

re: Yiannopolous - Just an idea for your column – does the chart for conservative pundit Milo Yiannopoulos show indications of his sudden, shocking implosion – losing his prestige, his CPAC headliner speech, his $250,000 book contract and his Breitbart job – all in just 96 hours? (Struck by Uranian lightning, I’d guess.) At any rate, this one looks like a textbook case of some kind of self-undoing or all-out collapse of, well, everything.
Yiannopoulos’ DOB: October 18, 1983, Greece (Wikipedia). I always find your column fascinating – not only for its insights, but for how clearly you explain your methodology.
A. Such dramatic falls from grace usually involve the Midheaven, either natal or progressed, and we need a birth time to know where his Midheaven is. Still, the rest of the chart tells the story. Transiting Uranus is widely opposite his Sun, but the three-degree orb doesn't account for the timing. Transiting Saturn is exactly conjunct his Neptune, suggesting the scandalous nature of the case. A natal Venus-Mars conjunction squaring over-confident Jupiter describes his zealous sexual activities. This configuration is being activated by progressed Mercury, the natural ruler of youth, and reflects the accusations of pedophilia.
re: Uranus cycle - Just read your post for the week. Thank you for your keen insight as always. My question is, taking a cue from your latest… seems we have a potential Obamagate situation highlighting McCarthyism (FISA and Trump Tower) prior to the election. Seems this has potential (legs) to show the deep state’s hand in the leaks and the MSM complacency (various articles written since last year confirming the FISA requests). Do you see the deep state being exposed?
A. The 21 year cycle related to transiting Uranus's hard aspects to the U.S. 9th house Mercury have consistently brought congressional inquiries at the highest level. I speculated that this time, it would be about Trump's Russian connection. Depending on your political filters, you may see this in a different way, such as an Obamagate inquiry.
re: KellyAnne Conway - Thank you for doing the in-depth analysis of KellyAnne Conway in the February 13 NewsScope. "Sensitive and empathetic" are not terms I would gravitate to in describing KellyAnne as she presents herself to the public, but putting my personal feelings about her aside, I admire how you focus on the astrological facts as they present themselves and the article was very illuminating. Your political analyses are very helpful in understanding these strange times. Thank you for the great work!
re Emmanuel Macron - Thank you for your, once again, gifted insights. We, your collective audience, are fortunate you found, no, created a space to share your voice.
re: U.S. Scorpio Rising chart - Long time reader of your work (loved Tomorrow's News).I have long used secondary progressions (SP) as part of analyzing charts. However, I wanted to thank you for pointing out the power of lesser discussed SP transits, such as sky transits to SP positions. The USA Scorpio rising chart time and time again proves its merit, especially with the last election cycle.
When I look at the USA Scorpio SP chart, transiting Neptune is going conjunct the SP Sun in the 8th house (upheaval, transformation) on March 17th. With the Leo on the USA Scorpio chart's MC, one can only think of the recent headlines regarding the persistence assertions of mistruths coming from the White House, as well as allegations of back channel influence from foreign powers. Within the week transits Sun & Mercury hit the USA Scorpion SP SUN corresponding with more headlines. Further, as you noted, Neptune is crossing the nadir of Trump's relocated Moscow chart! Thanks again for you insights.
A. Yes, transits to progressions are a very important forecasting tool. To be clear, the U.S. progressed Sun is now at 12º Pisces (not Scorpio), and transiting Neptune will be conjunct this progressed Sun on March 17, as you indicate. However, the progressions fall into the natal houses, so this configuration takes place in the U.S. 4th house of domestic affairs. By the way, due to Neptune's retrograde cycle, this configuration was in play during much of the 2016 election campaign.
re: SuperMoon and Elon Musk - As always i look forward to read your New article every early Monday morning. I was wondering whether you will have time to look into coming New supermoon and Black lilith combination on April 10th of this year !!!! At my age of 70+ i have very little knowledge of this coming phenomenon but may be you can enlighten us all to what to expect from this astrologically.
Also in past you mentioned about doing Elon Musk and his ventures to see how successful will be so if you have time and if you feel like doing to educate us, i will be highly appreciative.

This triwheel segment of Trump's chart shows the inter-connections between transiting Saturn (outer wheel), progressed Pallas and Ascendant (middle wheel), and his natal Mars. The time is set for Saturn's retrograde station on April 4.
NewsScope for April 17, 2017
By Michael Wolfstar
Trump Reversals and Pallas
A regular NewsScope reader comments, “I faithfully read each of your Monday morning commentaries, but have a tendency to ignore the asteroid aspects…. the regular ten influences appear to be sufficient in interpreting a horoscope.” Yes, the traditional ten planets are sufficient, but deploying the four major asteroids and Lilith adds tremendous detail. And for those interested in political astrology, Pallas is a key player.
* HuffPo details the six most important reversals here.
* NewsScope profiled the Vesta-Mars duo in terms of financial astrology last October 24.
Pallas’s symbolism refers directly to political strategy, the ability to survey the realm of socio-economic-geopolitical realities, and how well that fits in with potential tactics and goals. A well-aspected Pallas endows one with creative intelligence, and suggests ideas for achieving success. Chief political advisors often have Pallas prominently placed in their charts, and the elected politician often makes major policy changes or new initiatives when Pallas is activated.
Trump’s Pallas is a great example, since he’s just gone through some breath-taking policy reversals over the last two weeks.* Natally, Pallas is retrograde, opposes Mercury, and squares Neptune -- a rather challenging configuration that has led to all sorts of confusing and conflicting political promises. Pallas is located in the 5th house of children, and lately, Trump has counted on Ivanka and her husband as his chief political advisers.
By secondary progression, Trump’s Pallas is still retrograde and located at 27º Sagittarius – right where transiting Saturn turned retrograde on April 5 (orb: 0º10’). As forecast in this column a week earlier, this offered Trump the opportunity to change his political agenda and recover from the harsh defeats of his health care bill and anti-immigration order. Saturn’s station on Trump’s progressed Pallas brought the demotion of chief strategist Steve Bannon, a friendlier alliance with China, and some as yet unformulated military policies toward Syria and North Korea. Would any of this make sense without Pallas?
Since then, transiting Pluto has been in an ongoing trine to progressed Vesta-Mars, bringing it to its current marquis elevation. The company received national attention when it momentarily became the richest car company in America: at the time the progressed Sun and Fortuna were exactly conjunct. One facet of TSLA’s chart suggests its massive over-evaluation, and that’s Black Moon Lilith with Neptune and Chiron, and all three afflicting Saturn. This is a bubble waiting to burst.
TSLA’s IPO on June 29, 2010 (11:25 am*; New York, NY) helps explain the disconnect: the Sun in Cancer is at the center of a Cardinal Grand Cross involving four outer planets. The Jupiter-Uranus conjunction describes the company as innovative and futuristic, and centered on a “disruptive technology” platform like the FANG stocks. Saturn’s participation represents the practical, business side of the enterprise, while Pluto’s opposition to the Sun suggests the immense transformative potential.
TSLA’s IPO chart is blessed with a Mars-Vesta conjunction near the Virgo Ascendant, a bullish indictor once the company starts reporting profits. The first quarterly profit was announced on May 8, 2013 as transiting Pluto formed a trine to the natal Vesta-Mars duo. TSLA’s Vesta-Mars resonates with national investors since it closely aspects the U.S. Pluto (by the trioctile aspect, or 135º).
* TSLA's First Trade time is from Michael Munkasey's Database
Tesla Surpasses GM in Market Value
Tesla, the premier electric carmaker, briefly became the most valuable automobile manufacturer in the nation when it briefly passed GM a week ago. From a fundamentalist perspective, Tesla’s lofty price of $300+/share makes absolutely no sense since it sold only 76,000 vehicles in 2016 and must borrow money to stay in business. GM sold 9.6 million vehicles and made $9 billion in profit.
The astrological alignments during that pivotal victory included his first Saturn Return as transiting Jupiter conjoined his Leo Sun. Also, his progressed Sun conjoined natal Uranus at 29º Leo – conjunct the first magnitude star Regulus as well as Donald Trump’s Ascendant. Like other high-ranking members of Trumps’ team, McMaster was born with a Mars-Pluto square – the mark of an intense fighter. This natal square is tightening up by secondary progression, making him a passionate advocate for asserting American military might around the world’s hotspots.
McMaster was born with his Leo Sun conjunct Vesta (July 24, 1962; Philadelphia, PA; time unknown), which promotes a sense of mission or a special calling. Mercury is also involved with this configuration, adding an intellectual note to his life purpose. On September 2, 1997, his book Dereliction of Duty was published and has since become unusually influential in military circles. At the time, transiting Pluto was trine his Sun.
The most prominent planet in this chart by virtue of its network of aspects is Mars in Gemini, which underscores his intellectual approach to military affairs. Mars conjoins Pallas, the political strategy asteroid, giving him a keen awareness of how to blend cultural and social awareness with the military’s objectives. Following a Gulf War tank battle on February 26, 1991, he achieved heroic status by defeating an overwhelming enemy force.
General H.R. McMaster at the Helm
General H.R. McMaster took over as Trump’s national security adviser after Mike Flynn resigned, and his position became more secure after Steve Bannon was demoted. Then, after the Syrian bombing incident, which McMaster had strongly advocated, this “intellectual warrior” became one of Trump’s top aides. The hawkish McMaster is helping steer Trump toward a more globalist approach than his “America First” campaign rhetoric.
