"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: Trump - I can’t wait for newsscope this week! Do you think Trump will end his presidency early? Resignation or impeachment? Or will he last the next election or worse, get re-elected? My hope is for the Dems to take control midterm, but I imagine the public hates him enough to vote in 2020 this time.
re: Ford – Did you look up Gerald Ford's chart to see what was going on with him the day he took office? His progressed Mars on Aug 9, 1974 was at 28°41' Gemini, so that's pretty close to the eclipse point. His progressed Moon was at 26°16' Aquarius conjunct the U.S. Moon.
re: Trump - I looked at Trump's horoscope for the 2018 November elections. It couldn't be much better. Expect the Republicans to do much better than Democrats are hoping for. I am neither Democrat or Republican and plan to vote for neither.
re: Trump - it now appears that the 12th house aspects you speak of now reflect not only the payoffs on his illicit love affairs but with his own criminal behavior in violating campaign finance laws in in hush money to Stormy Daniels and the other girl, whose name urrently escapes me. Hope more light is shed on Trump' s 12th house criminal Kremlin secrets. Would also like to see you do current interpretations on the natal chart of the Republican Party and it's future and/or hopeful demise.
re: Trump - Your analysis of Trump’s eclipse problems this week was utterly prescient, as usual. Can’t wait for this upcoming Felony Friday for the solar side of this evolving story!
re: Trump - So do you think then the possibility of Trump’s impeachment is becoming more plausible with the eclipse? He seems to be spiraling into self destruct mode, not even his minders can keep up with him. I’m delighted. I’d love to see him impeached and indicted.
A. Impeachment likely won't happen unless the Democrats win big in Nov. Otherwise, the GOP-controlled Senate won't go along with that.... But it's looking more and more like Putin has something over Trump.
re: NewsScope - I have been reading your NewsScope column for several years. I very much enjoy reading about world events and leaders. I am also an astrologer, have done a few professional readings, but it was not for me. I have a blog, which I loved writing, however needed to focus on paying bills.
I noticed you are migrating to Facebook, and some of your readers prefer a website. I don’t know much about Homestead, but it does not seem to the best solution for your work anymore.
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.

NewsScope for September 3, 2018
By Michael Wolfstar
Election Day Astrology
As Trump’s poll numbers hit record disapproval levels, and half of all Americans are in favor of impeaching him, the mid-term election on November 6 is looking increasingly like a Democrat sweep – at least in the House. The Senate may retain its Republican majority, unless Trump stumbles even further. Once the Democrats take over the House, impeachment hearings will likely begin in early 2019.
With transiting Neptune conjoining the U.S. progressed Sun in the two weeks leading up to Election Day, we can expect the cloud of doubt and uncertainty to hang over American candidates on the stump, and especially Mr. Trump. And with progressed Saturn trine the U.S. Venus, record amounts of campaign financing will be in play. Venus herself will be retrograde from October 5 through November 16, adding a great deal of intrigue concerning financing.
Nevertheless, two outer planets are changing signs within two days of the election, which indicates a significant change in representation and the political climate in general. Jupiter enters ethical, moral Sagittarius on November 8, leaving power-hungry Scorpio behind. This is a solid indication that Republicans who stand by Trump for the sake of political control are fading. Jupiter in Sagittarius wants justice and promotes renewed optimism.
And then Uranus will be retrograding out of Taurus and back into Aries on November 7. This likewise symbolizes changing times, and with transiting Uranus nearing progressed Venus at 29º Aries in the U.S. horoscope, it promises the sudden empowerment and elevation of numerous women politicians. Trump’s poll numbers are especially dismal among women voters, with a whopping 76% in the 18-to-34 age group having a “very unfavorable” opinion or worse. As Jupiter and Uranus change signs, they’re also aspecting each other, creating an incoming group of celebrity politicians.
Neo-Nazis on the Rise
Over the past week, several hundred neo-Nazis gathered in Chemnitz to protest Angela Merkel’s open-border policy for immigrants. They were joined by 8,000 ordinary citizens, encouraged by Germany’s far-right AfD party (Alternative for Germany). Anti-immigrant hatred has risen sharply in recent years as Germany struggles to absorb one million refugees. This nationalistic political extremism resonates with Hitler’s founding of the Third Reich.
With this set-up, it’s no surprise that many conservative Catholics are seeking his early resignation. The Pope’s progressed Sun is now at 18º Pisces and entering into an opposition to his natal Neptune. In the political world, this is often a sign of a developing scandal and victimization. It helps explain why the people around Francis are saying he’s “serene” about the allegations of a cover-up. However, this story is bound to get bigger and more intense over the coming months, as transiting Pluto squares his Mars.
We are collectively in the midst of a highly sexual, challenging configuration that is being felt by most everyone in one form or another. The love planets, Venus and Mars, are coming into a square over this coming week, which naturally stirs up tension within relationships. Then Uranus in early Taurus adds an impulsive, shocking or disruptive vibe, while Black Moon Lilith in early Aquarius is also involved.
If you’re not having trouble within your romantic affairs and/or committed relationships, consider yourself lucky. For the Catholic Church, these abuse scandals have been airing for decades now, but this current four-planet configuration happens to hit Pope Francis’s Midheaven, with transiting Uranus making the conjunction. The faster-moving love planets will move on quickly, but transiting Uranus is in a long-term wake-up call at the top of his chart.
Pope Francis Under Fire
Last week a former Vatican diplomat issued an 11-page letter that accused Pope Francis of covering up a sexual abuse scandal in Washington. The Pope has remained oddly silent on the matter as conservatives and liberals are creating an intense cultural divide. The Pope’s critics want to know what he knew about the Washington Archbishop’s abuses and when did he know it.
Over the past few years, as the neo-Nazi rumblings in eastern Germany have grown louder, transiting Pluto has opposed the Third Reich’s natal Pluto as transiting Uranus has returned to its natal place. In January 2020, the Saturn-Pluto conjunction in Capricorn takes place right on the Third Reich’s Midheaven, suggesting a powerful reconstruction of some kind. The nationalistic, authoritarian nature of the Saturn-Pluto cycle is already apparent in many forms, and in many nations.
The Third Reich was founded when Hitler was sworn in as Germany’s Chancellor on January 30, 1933 (11:07 am; Berlin). The elevated Sun-Saturn conjunction in Aquarius accurately describes the authoritarian nature of this regime, and with Pluto conjunct the 4th house cusp, reflects his passionate, fanatical obsession with ethnic purity and all things German. A Mars-Jupiter conjunction in the sign and house of military service trines the Capricorn Midheaven, supporting the Reich’s goals.
The radical nature of the Third Reich can be seen in the dynamic T-Square with Uranus in the 12th house squaring the angular Venus-Pluto opposition. The outer planet transits can be used to track Hitler’s big moves in World War II, which culminated with his suicide on April 30, 1945 when transiting Pluto opposed the natal Sun-Saturn conjunction. This chart lives on in the dreams of neo-Nazis.
