"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 Eclipse - Is there significance to Part of Fortune conjunct Ascendant (exact to the minute) and quincunx the North Node?
A. The Part of Fortune is always conjunct the Ascendant during the New Moon or Solar Eclipse. And the Lunar Node axis is generally within a few degrees of the Ascendant, but it can be the North or South Node. By definition, the Lunar Nodes are where the Moon’s path crosses the ecliptic, so eclipses happen when the New or Full Moon is close to the Lunar Node axis.
re: Facebook - about "Putting NewsScope on FB might be a good alternative to using this homestead provider, since it takes so long to update pages." I'm not entirely sure what this means, but if it means that your column would no longer appear on Neptune Cafe, I'd beg you to not do this. I enjoy your column every week, ever since I found the site through Richard Nolle's site, but I am not on Facebook and never will be. Please don't make it so those of us that don't participate in a particular forum, however popular it might be, can't access your wonderful analyses.
A. I’ve gotten a lot of feedback on the migration of NewsScope to Facebook. For the time being, it will be both here and there. At this site, the pages take several hours every week to update, while on FB, it’s a straightforward copy and paste. The lead NewsScope piece is going up on FB on Sundays.
re: SA-PL - It's discouraging to think that US politics are going to keep getting worse until at least January 2020 with the exact Saturn-Pluto conjunction. Is there a way to dodge the bullet? Increase compassion? Any remedy?
A. As I’ve been suggesting, the placement of Ceres and Eris within the SA-PL configuration is a major clue, and refers to the empowerment of women. We’ve seen this already with the #MeToo movement, and the increasing number of women getting elected to Congress and other political and corporate offices.
re: Rodman - I have long touted Dennis Rodman as the mediator between the US and Korea, so thank you for your article about him being the unofficial ambassador. Deep down I think he was probably the real reason this summit happened, as he has been planting and sowing the seeds for nearly five years, as you pointed out.
Re: FB - I respectfully suggest Newscope not appear on Facebook, which is a proven privacy violator, and instead use a good alternative: 8 Best Facebook Alternatives With Focus On Privacy For 2018 - While most of us knew about Facebook's relentless data collection practices, Cambridge Analytica revelation has forced many of us to raise questions and look for Facebook alternatives.
A. I’ve been on Facebook for years and haven’t had any problems with privacy issues. Putting NewsScope on FB might be a good alternative to using this homestead provider, since it takes so long to update pages. There are vibrant astrology groups there, and unlike this page, it's mobile friendly.
Re: Trump – Hey, t pluto square US p mars @ 17:54 Libra for final time. I've mentioned before that I noticed this aspect first in spring of 2016 just as Trump was getting traction in the primaries and then again almost exact when he was sworn in. Again, during the Nov. 2018 election, Pluto is @19:10 Libra, hardly one degree past exact. I want to hope it means that the current gangster element in politics is over. Can you 'make my day'?
A. Good story idea, thanks...
re: Meghan - Duchess of Sussex .. About her Part of Fortune. Your article uses the Part of Fortune using the day chart formula, hence 17 ish deg Virgo. But her natal chart is nocturnal, Sun is below horizon...My software therefore gives her PoF as 1Ge 23" ? I thought it was standard practice to use the PoF formula based on whether the chart is day/night .
A. Yes, I always use the daytime formula. I've written an extensive article (published in Dell Horoscope magazine) explaining why this is the way to go. It’s an analysis of ten presidents and how the Part of Fortune is a key indicator in their elections and general good or bad fortunes.
SolarFire used to have the default Part of Fortune set to the daylight formula, but after Rob Hand’s research into ancient astrology (which I don’t agree with), the SF default was switched to day and night time formulas. You have the option of making the default the daytime formula for all birth times.
This is further explained in my article on Joan Quigley and the Part of Fortune. It was also published in Dell Horoscope magazine and re-posted on my website here.
re: Trump’s SR - Are you sure that he'll be in Washington when the Solar Return happens? Did you try it out in Singapore??
A. Solar Returns are set for the residence, not the point where one happens to be on the globe at the time. The notion that one can enhance their SR prospects by being at a particularly lucky place during the SR is fake news perpetuated by dishonest astrologers seeking to make a buck.
re: Kennedy - Since you're so good at analyzing the Kennedy clan, I thought I'd see something about the recently released "Chappaquiddick" film in your column. (Did I miss it?)
After watching the film, I looked up the charts of Ted Kennedy, his wife Joan, and Mary Jo Kopechne (the passenger who drown -- actually, she suffocated -- in his car on that fateful night of July 18, 1969). What's really interesting is that ALL THREE OF THEM HAD THE PROGRESSED MOON CONJUNCT SATURN!
A. You're referring to an article I wrote on the Kennedy clan for Dell Horoscope magazine, maybe 10 years ago. I haven't really kept up on their comings and goings. That's fascinating that the three people involved all have progressed Moon-Saturn, tragic event not only for them but for the nation.
Maybe there's a new bunch of Kennedys on the horizon who can escape the Kennedy curse.
Re: The Big One - Referring to " the big one" do you mean an earthquake in Hawaii or California? I will be in Los Angeles with my daughter on May 29th, her birthday. Do you think we'll be safe there?
A. I was referring to Kiluaea in Hawaii. I think you'll be fine in Los Angeles. In my research, major earthquakes happen during outer planet alignments, and we don't have any now. The outer planets have some kind of gravitational or electro-magnetic influence that the smaller and faster moving planets dont. It may relate to sunspot activity, solar flares...
re: Giuliani - Some amazing connections between the charts of Trump and Giuliani might be profitably explored in Newscope. Thanks for your continuing Newscope service.
re: Trump - Thank you for your positive posting about Trump. For all the same reasons as everyone else, I can’t stand the guy. But I do also acknowledge that he alone has gotten the Korea situation where it is today and I appreciate your willingness to acknowledge that and also get an insight into the astrology behind it. Thanks also for the posting on Avenatti. I love the guy!
re: Russia - yes, this week's column was very interesting starting with the Russian chart. It seems they had an astrologer's advice since the Sun is at the MC, Jupiter is in the 10th, and Pluto is strong in Scorpio in the 2nd house of values.
Since the Russian Sun is conjunct trump's Sun, they certainty have a friend in him. It's disconcerting that Russia's natal Mars inconjuncts the U.S. ascendant, exactly, and Russia's natal Eris is conjunct the U.S. progressed MC this year.
re: Kim Jong Un - I'm baffled by Kim's sudden attitude and policy reversals. After years of posturing, bullying, and threatening the world with nuclear annihilation, now he's transformed himself into a rational human being? It seems unlikely. Can we trust the transformation? Is it a ruse? If not, how and why did it occur? Is it permanent? So many questions... Can you give us some insight?
A. As I suggest in 4/30 blog, it may be due in large part to the fear that Trump will actually start a nuclear exchange with North Korea. Trump is just crazy enough to do that, or so it seems.
re: Uranius - Just curious: is there a degree of orb associated with the upcoming Uranus into Taurus. My husband’s Asc is 3 deg. Wasn't sure how to read that, or if I need to. My Sag Asc at 0 is quincunx; is that going to be troublesome?
A. There’s an old astro-proverb that says Mars arrives ahead of time, Uranus on time, and Saturn is late. This refers to when the influence manifests, and Uranus is unusual in that it’s most evident when the aspect is exact. So your husband may feel it coming, but nothing happens yet. You may be more in line for some changes with this transit.
re: profile nomination - Tammie Jo Shults! The lady who piloted the Southwest plane, my newest hero. I nominate her for a profile.
A. Thanks for the excellent suggestion. However, all I could find about her birth date is that she was likely born in 1962 in New Mexico.
re: Uranus - You mentioned that astrologers are a bit worried about how the Uranus-Taurus influence may affect Wall Street. Remember, Roosevelt confiscated all personally-owned gold in 1933 and took control of the production of the silver mines in 1934 when Uranus entered Taurus!
I faithfully read your weekly analysis of the prominent news items, but I do have a very hard time accepting "asteroidology", even though I fully understand that everything under the sun is in a constant state of evolution!
Please inform me of your response to my gold-silver price/value scenario for the next few years.
A. I don’t have any astrological insights about how the gold market will shape up over the next few years. It’s interesting that FDR had some connection with gold and silver the last time Uranus entered Taurus. Is this a coincidence, or what happened during the previous cycle?
re: China - I've seen somewhere someone using a birth chart for China with a 1deg Aquarius rising. Which chart do you find works?
A. Yes, I use this one too. It's been on my website for years. Here's a link with the chart and other relevant info: China
re: Jeff Sessions - My inner "bad girl" wonders if you would poke into the failed "bromance" between trump and sessions? I mean, it's gotta be juicy. Thanks again for making Mondays better than ever.
re: NewsScope - This week's issue is very interesting. How on earth you decide what to discuss... It's like being at a restaurant where they have a hundred scrumptious choices on the menu.

Trump Declares Economic War on Turkey
As President Trump comes under increasing pressure from Mueller’s investigation, he’s shoring up his base by taking on Turkey. The sticking point has been Turkey’s arrest of an evangelical pastor from North Carolina who was accused of terrorism and espionage. Last Friday, Trump doubled the steel and aluminum tariffs on Turkey, which sent the Turkish lira plummeting. European and U.S. stocks followed downward.
This graphic is a tri-wheel segment of the U.S. Scorpio Rising horoscope, set for January 1, 2019. It shows the natal chart on the inner wheel, and the progressions and transits on the middle and outer wheels. Note that natal Venus is connected to progressed Saturn (not shown), and that transiting Uranus will continue to sextile natal Venus off and on in 2019 and 2020.
With its Sun in Scorpio and Pluto on the Cancer Ascendant, Turkey’s national horoscope (October 29, 1923; 8:30 pm; Ankara) shows a strong tendency to be ruled by force, by an autocrat. Yet with Uranus on its Midheaven, Turkey is also inclined to entertain democratic values. As the transiting Uranus-Pluto square hit Turkey’s Pluto over the last few years, President Erdogan gave voice to democracy, but practiced despotism.
Trump initiated the tariffs just as the Solar Eclipse aligned with Turkey’s Neptune. Neptune is associated with inflation and other economic indicators that may spiral out of control. In this chart, that’s especially true since Neptune squares Venus. Historically, Turkey has had chronic problems taming inflation, but as of last month, it was 16% annually. By secondary progression, Venus is right on the Midheaven where it conjoins natal Uranus, underscoring Turkey’s economic crisis.
Astrologically, Saturn and Pluto are responsible for getting the economic signals under control. Currently, both are aspecting natal Neptune (by the quincunx and trioctile), but are having little positive effect. Progressed Saturn at 2º Scorpio is under major stress by the opposition to transiting Uranus, which just turned retrograde at 2º Taurus. Turkey has become a major stress point in world markets, and the current harsh indicators aren’t relenting any time soon.
Women Politicians Trending Up
As of last week, 185 women have been nominated for the House of Representatives, breaking the 2016 record of 167. Fourteen states have yet to hold their primaries, so that number is likely to increase. The vast majority of women nominees are Democrats (143), with many saying they were inspired to run by Trump’s election. Venus is central to this trend.
Last Tuesday, when midterms were held in many states, Uranus turned retrograde at 2º Taurus. The Uranus station carries the most powerful impulse for change in its orbit around the Sun, and this one was particularly momentous because it was exactly sextile the U.S. Venus at 2º Cancer. The national horoscope is used when national trends are shaping up, and this one definitively promotes the advancement of women.
The unusual success of numerous women candidates seems very likely on Election Day, November 6. The trend that has been picking up steam over the last several years can be seen in the U.S.’s progressed Saturn, which is trine natal Venus. By November 6, the orb will be only 0º03’. This aspect becomes exact in 2020, so the next election cycle will likely see even more women candidates go to Washington.
Black Moon Lilith, the archetype that senses what’s behind appearances, plays a central role in this story. Currently, transiting Pluto is exactly conjunct Omarosa’s Lilith at 19º Capricorn, as she reveals how she refused hush money. She may indeed have an insider’s view, since her Mercury at 4º Pisces is exactly squaring Trump’s Lilith at 4º Sagittarius. She has several progressions near her Aquarius Sun, plus her progressed Midheaven is now precisely opposite natal Jupiter. The recent Solar Eclipse activated all these Leo-Aquarius placements as she takes center stage.
Omarosa was born with the showman’s signature Sun-Jupiter conjunction (February 5, 1974; 10:54 pm; Youngstown, OH), a combination that excels at social networking. The Sun-Jupiter’s extroverted personality gets a dramatic, energetic boost by squaring Mars in Taurus, which fuels her self-promotion tactics as well as making her quarrelsome and a natural trouble-maker. These are the exact qualities that made her a star on Trump’s various reality shows.
Omarosa’s Sun-Jupiter conjunction in Aquarius neatly fits into Trump’s Sun-Uranus in Gemini trine Jupiter, creating an Air Grand Trine, a mutually supportive configuration. They can and have brought each other fame and success. They both have Mercury-Neptune squares, an aspect well known for bending the truth to fit the occasion. Most importantly, Omarosa’s Midheaven at 8º Cancer is precisely conjunct Trump’s Mercury, making her an ideal apprentice and a White House’s director of communications.
Omarosa’s New Book, “Unhinged”
Former “Apprentice” star and Trump aide, Omarosa Manigault-Newman will be making the talk show circuit over the coming few weeks to promote her new book, “Unhinged: An Insider’s view of the Trump White House”. To spice up interest, she has made a few not-so-shocking claims that Trump is a racist, and that she has access to the tapes that prove it.
For the current election cycle, the U.S. progressed Venus is another trend-maker. She’s currently at 29º in the pioneering sign of Aries. When the victorious candidates take office at the beginning of 2019, transiting Uranus will be turning direct at 28º Aries – very close to this progressed Venus. It marks a new era, and especially of radical reform, since progressed Venus and Pluto (at 29º Capricorn) are exactly squaring each other. Pluto demands changes.
