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.

re: Mike Pence - Suggestion: Please take a look at Mike Pence's chart to see if he could become President should Trump exit before his term ends. Perhaps at the August Eclipse.
re: Susan Rice - Just wondered what your thoughts are in regards to the Susan Rice leaks and the Neptune transit - tied to the Scorpio Rising Chart? Does it show any information regarding how many people will be revealed and attached to this crime?
I know you are not a fan of Pres. Trump (red herrings comment regarding voter fraud – I live in CA, I beg to differ, Russian connection, nothing has been tied to him – 3 different investigations many months later and the imperial leadership comment – less than (1) year in office). We don’t have to agree politically. I can respect constructive differences of opinion. I look forward to reading your articles and your analysis is always informative.
re: Trump - When commentators call him the "Mad King", it's so astrologically astute--even though they're oblivious to that. He is so simply manifesting his chart in so many ways. He 's like a beginner's class for aspiring astrology students.
re: Trump - Newscope - well done! Thanks.
re: chart links - My chart has 5 planets conjunct the U.S.'s natal planets and recently I looked at Trump's chart. His progressed Saturn at the MD at 2 degrees Leo is conjunct my natal Mars/Pluto midpoint. Is this an issue?Thank you for a great column!
A. Trump's tenure might feel oppressive at some level, otherwise, it's not an issue unless you actually work for him. Millions of Americans have links to Trump's chart.
re: Trump's Solar Return - Jupiter on his Asc could ensure that he overdoes it--and by "it", I mean "everything". This makes me think about his need for BIG. He exaggerates incessantly. Everything's "HUGE". So his "bigness" is something about which he feels inadequate. Anyway, now this huge bigness exaggeration thing takes center stage. I don't think that it necessarily will be a good thing. He needs a year with Solar Return Saturn on his Asc to small him down some.
re: Trump's 12th house - I am having trouble locating your post on Trump's troubles with his progressed moon entering his 12th house. I believe it is sometime this month. Will you please help me? As always, I look forward to reading your Monday NewsScope. Your interpretations are brilliant.
A. Here are the most recent pieces on his progressed Moon entering his 12th house:
re: NBA Finals - I wonder if you are aware that we now have birth certificate times for both LeBron James and Stephen Curry. ABC News did a feature about them, according to AstroDatabank.
A. Thanks for that info.
re: NBA Finals - I always love the astro-events. But I'm not terribly interested in basketball. Your discussion of what's happening and why is interesting, though.
re: astro-event #1 - You wrote that the "Best days for romantic outings and adventures are on the 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 6th to 10th, 18th, 19th, 23rd and 24th." My niece's art show takes place on June 22nd and 23rd. It sounds like this aspect may help her. But when you say "romantic encounters and adventures", do you mean that adventures in general will be romantic (because more people are involved in relationships than in art)?
A. This is a Venus indicator. I said romantic, but it surely could be about art. Most definitely.
re: Trump supporters - I enjoy your analysis but I am dumbstruck that you continue to publish "queries" from Trump supporters armed with the alternative fact narrative. Giving them a platform is ridiculous and takes away from your credibility. The latest is the query regarding the "crimes" of Susan Rice. First, incidental collection of Americans during a counter intelligence investigation is the norm. And it is the prerogative of the NSA, the CIA and the FBI to unmask the names of the Americans as they see fit. There is no crime. Has there be a trial? Unless there has, why are you printing spin and misinformation?
Similar to the "crimes" of Hillary Clinton. Was there a trial that we missed? It is right wing propaganda that you continually to give air time to and it is getting old. How about just be neutral? And do not give a platform to bs.
A. Unfortunately for those with hard and fast political opinions, NewsScope is read by followers of both the left and right. We all assess what's happening through our political, religious, and culture filters. I try and be as objective as possible in the actual articles. Readers' opinions in this feedback section are their own, not mine.
NewsScope for June 26, 2017
By Michael Wolfstar
U.S. - Russia Cyberwarfare
Last Friday The Washington Post released a political bombshell with its account* of Putin’s direct involvement in a cyber campaign aimed at disrupting the 2016 presidential race. Citing dozens of high-level government sources, the Post story called the cyberattack “the crime of the century”. Before leaving office, Obama initiated a cyber-weapons counter-attack program that is still being developed by U.S intelligence agencies.
* Read The Washington Post’s investigative report here
These tri-wheel sections show the U.S. Scorpio Rising chart on the inner wheel, with the progressions and transits in the middle and outer wheels, set for July 16, 2017 when transiting Pluto squares progressed Mars.
Astrologically, “the political equivalent of 9/11” arrives just as transiting Uranus conjoins the U.S. progressed Venus, with both squaring natal Pluto. The orbs are extremely tight, but have been shaping up for many months, just as the underlying secret attacks and counter-attacks have slowly surfaced. Over the weekend, as transiting Mars conjoined the U.S. Sun, American leaders voiced their shock and outrage.
That is, with the exception of Donald Trump, who has alarmingly and potentially perilously embraced the Russian government. The Washington Post story appeared on the exact day that Trump’s progressed Moon entered his 12th house. He has vehemently denied any collusion with Russian hackers, and now (for the first time) admits that Russian meddling did occur, but blames Obama for doing nothing about it.
In July, transiting Mars in hyper-defensive Cancer makes challenging aspects that will increase the geopolitical tension, both between the U.S. and Russia, and in the partisan exchanges in Washington. As background for this covert cyberwarfare, transiting Pluto has been squaring the U.S. progressed Mars in the 12th house of secret activity since the November election. Pluto is retrograde now, and returning to the exact square in July. Apparently, we are and have been at war for the last year, but didn’t know it until now.
July’s Top Five Astro-Events
1. Venus enters Gemini on the 5th and, with a few exceptions, is stirring up trouble in the relationship department for the rest of the month. Venus here is the social butterfly and -- while charming, talkative and engaging – is prone to getting involved in romantic triangles. The 17th and 18th are delightful days for social gatherings and recreational activities, but expect rivals and/or disappointments on the 14th, 15th, 16th, 19th, 20th, 28th, 29th, and 30th.
2. The Full Moon on the 9th conjoins Pluto and opposes a Sun-Mars conjunction, an extremely dangerous and confrontational dynamic. On the personal front, expect important developments in family affairs, such as major milestones and transitions. Any underlying tension is sure to get vented, especially between the generations. Geopolitically, the week leading up to this Full Moon is explosive, likely involving ultimatums, extreme threats and actions.
3. The U.S. progressed Venus squares natal Pluto on the 11th. As the ruler of the 7th house of “open enemies” and also the 12th house of “secret enemies”, Venus is not in its ordinary role as a benefic in the U.S. Scorpio Rising horoscope. Whenever it makes an aspect to natal Pluto (the nation’s ruling planet), it generates a major war. Previously, this coincided with wars in Iraq and Vietnam, and before that, World Wars I and II.
4. Saturn squares the U.S. Neptune on the 15th and heads into an opposition with the U.S. Mars in August. Saturn was just recently in this degree area, having opposed the U.S. Mars and squared the U.S. Neptune in early January when Obama initiated a cyber-weapons program against Russia. The next few months should bring heightened tension in the cyberwarfare arena, with the big unknown being Trump’s willingness to act against Russia.
5. Mars is making challenging aspects to the outer planets all month, creating the potential for major conflicts, accidents, and emotional turmoil. From the 1st through 19th Mars is in Cancer when family matters, domestic security and business affairs take precedence; avoid being overly defensive or emotionally hyper-reactive. From the 20th through month’s end, Mars is in Leo and traveling with the Sun, which for many will bolster self-confidence to follow a noble or heroic path.
The geopolitical connection can be seen in Warmbier’s Venus at 8º Scorpio, which is exactly conjunct the U.S. Scorpio Ascendant. Venus opposes the political asteroid Pallas, and both these placements are aligned with his karmic Lunar Node axis. His interest in a propaganda poster (Pallas) put him into the larger conflict between North Korea and the U.S. North Korea evidently viewed him as an attractive (Venus) pawn in their military brinksmanship. He died when his progressed Sun was at 13º Capricorn – exactly opposite the U.S. Sun, making him a poignant symbol for American anger against North Korea.
Otto Warmbier, the Sacrificed Political Pawn
The popular, adventurous student Otto Warmbier traveled to North Korea for a five-day tour, but was arrested on January 2, 2016 for stealing a propaganda poster. Sentenced to 15 years hard labor, Warmbier* went into a coma in April 2016 for unknown reasons. Two weeks ago, he was returned to the United States in this vegetative state, and died on June 19.
Warmbier was born with his Sun in enthusiastic, outgoing Sagittarius (December 12, 1994; Cincinnati, OH; time unknown) where it trines his Moon in bold, assertive Aries. Ceres in Leo completes a Fire Grand Trine, giving him a confident, carefree personality with the curiosity to explore new frontiers. His Mars squares a Jupiter-Pluto conjunction, which aspires to great victories or accomplishments in school, sports, and business.
The harsh side of the Mars-Pluto aspect is that it invites experiences involving absolute force in some way. This can mean events involving violence, either as a perpetrator or as a victim. Warmbier’s Aries Moon squares the epochal Uranus-Neptune conjunction of the early 1990s, and was under stress from transiting Uranus and Pluto when he experienced some kind of trauma to his head (Aries) and went into a coma in April 2016.
* Wikipedia tells the whole story here
re: Otto Warmbier - Any insights into Otto Warmbier’s horoscope as it relates to the USA and North Korea? His story has got to be one of the most obscure and heartbreaking I’ve heard, it made me weep for him. His death conjured an emotional reaction in me that caught me by surprise. I want his death to be avenged swiftly, severely, and unequivocally. It’s so unlike me to feel that especially in reference to such a wildcard country like North Korea, but it’s incomprehensible what that boy must have gone through.
re: Otto Warmbier - Even I who try to isolate myself from all pain was moved by the coma Otto Warmbier was brought back in. This was very tragic. And it hurt one's heart. That young man returned to his family like that for something so small. Very vicious what was done to him and totally unnecessary.
re: health care - Can you give insight into whether it will become law? The irony is that his political base are the folks who will be financially & medically devastated by its passage. Are the Republican congressmen & senators aware of the consequences for themselves at the ballot box? I'm mystified.re: health care - Isn't the dark of the moon, and in this case, (specifically the day before the new moon) the worst time to start or unveil a new project? What does this bode for Trumpcare?
A. Yes, that sounds right. Notice how the plan was developed in secret, which is in accord with the Balsamic Moon phase, the Dark Moon. It doesn't bode well...
re: Trump's 12th house - So well done, again. Progressed Moon in 12th, Trump is showing us all what 'self-undoing' is all about. I know, i have Moon in the 12th. His boat won't stay afloat much longer.
