2025-2029 Forecast - Part 3: Pluto at Noon Revisited

Today is the Inauguration, and it comes with a very strong and potentially dangerous chart.

 

You can read my take on it a couple of years ago in my post Pluto at Noon.

 

What makes it stand out is how at noon every January 20, the Sun is always at about 1 degree Aquarius and at the top of the chart. Each year Pluto has been moving closer to it, and today at noon it will be conjunct both the Sun and Midheaven.

You can see here how Pluto, over to the right (it looks like someone with their hands in the air), has in the 48 years since Carter slowly made its way up to the top of the chart, Inauguration by Inauguration.

 

Pluto rules power and abuse of power, and in 2023 Adrian Ross Duncan wrote this:

     If Trump runs, the transit of Uranus over his MC will be dangerous, and if by chance he wins, then the Sun-Pluto conjunction at the Inauguration will augur dictatorship.

Duncan also cautioned, after seeing our upcoming Uranus transits, "Cool heads need to prevail in America during the next Presidential period to maintain stability."

 

But as we've just seen from Trump's transits, and know too well from his chaotic first term, such stability will be hard to find.

 

By the way, someone wrote that Trump invited Musk to speak at his rally yesterday instead of Vance, and said Musk is acting as the actual VP. Truth is, Vance is going to have a much larger role than anyone expects and will be a dominating force in policy. We'll go over this in my take on Vance's transits, which I'll post in a couple of days, along with a timeline chart that will give a clear look at when all these events will happen.

2025-2029 Forecast - Part 2: Trump's Tantrum of Transits

written Jan 8th-19th, 2025

I wrote about Trump's current transits in my 2022 report, and you can read it all there. Just scroll down a little to the section that says Trump: Electric Boogaloo.

Before the upcoming Inauguration, though, I'd like to update that report with a few more transits that will occur doing his second administration.

So here's the best I can tell you about what to expect.

Saturn

Saturn square Uranus     Apr 2024 - early Feb 2025
During his first month in office, he'll have the third pass of Saturn to his Uranus, which is a frustrating time, where you feel held back and blocked.

Saturn square Moon     Feb 2025
That same month he'll feel lonely and depressed.

Saturn square Sun     mid-Feb - mid-Mar 2025
And he'll have reason to feel that way with Saturn weighing on him still through mid-March, making him feel like everyone's getting on his case, including authorities restricting his actions.

Saturn trine Saturn     Mar 2025
At the same time, Saturn trine Saturn will help him get organized and have more authority.

Saturn trine Venus     Apr 2025 - Dec 2025
And the rest of the year he has a helpful trine to Venus, aiding in management of finances.

Saturn opposite Neptune     Mar 2026
A year later, though, he'll feel like his illusions are being dashed. Feelings of doubt, disappointment, and confusion.

Saturn trine Pluto     Apr 2026 - Jan 2027
But he'll pull out of it again with a strong trine to Pluto for the rest of his second year, showing skillful use of power.

Saturn square Saturn     May 2027 - Feb 2028
His third year has some struggles and frustrations. It's a time of low confidence and trouble at work.

Saturn square Venus     Jun 2027 - Feb 2028
At the same time he'll be feeling depressed or lacking in funds.

Saturn square Pluto     mid-Jun 2028 - Mar 2029
And he'll close out his last year in office with the law getting on his case for abuse of power. Or at least keeping him hindered.

So going just by Saturn, he'll have a rough two months at first, then things will go well until his third and fourth years.


Uranus

In my 2022 report we covered how Uranus is right now both conjunct Trump's Midheaven and square his Mars for another few months, and square his Ascendant for the next year. All of which is making him very unpredictable. The square to Mars, especially, would get him threatening war, as he's been doing with Panama and Canada, just for the thrill of playing with that kind of power.

Uranus conjunct Uranus     Aug 2028 - Jun 2030

During his last six months in office he'll have another strong transit from Uranus when it returns to its place in his chart for the first time. This happens for everyone at age 84, and we just covered this same transit in the last post, because the nation will be going through it before Trump does, for July 2026 - May 2028.

The Uranus Return is often a time of letting go of all you created in your life and turning to more spiritual matters. You've done your work, you see everything falling away around you, including your own body, and start looking for your next expansion into freedom.

One can't see Trump doing this, of course. He'll cling to everything and make a shambles as he sees the end of his presidency coming.

And for that reason, I suspect he'll act rashly and try to stay on as president. It could be that by then he actually will be ready to give it all up. But expect something strange in his last summer as president or in his public role afterwards. Especially if it has to do with the internet or social media.

To sum up his Uranus transits, he'll be dangerously unpredictable for the first few months, then almost as unpredictable for his first year. And his last six months will be some kind of break, including a drive to break all the rules and stay in office.


Neptune

Neptune opposite Neptune     May 2025 - Feb 2029

Here's another very rare transit everyone gets only once, around age 82. Neptune rules both illusions and all we can't see, including inspiration and spirit itself. When we reach this age, Neptune, king of the sea as well as fog, washes away our foundations and dissolves all we thought was solid.

And so when Trump gets this one, starting in a few months and going through his full second term, he's not going to enjoy it much.

At best for him (and worst for us), he'll continue to be wrapped up in delusions and trying to convince everyone else of them. At worst for him, he'll feel the relentless waves of time and know that whatever he creates, it will not stand. Which might make him try to grasp at things all the more.

Neptune square Mercury     Apr 2027 - Feb 2030

During the second half of his administration, Trump has another troubling transit from Neptune. This one is to his Mercury, which rules one's thinking and communications.

This is a very strong sign that he'll continue to spread misinformation. If that sounds like nothing new, it's because he was born with this aspect in his birth chart, so it's built-in to his way of life. He sees only what he wants to see, and twists everything to fit that distorted vision.

Take this talk from 2020 about the wildfires in California.

Official: If we ignore science, we're not going to succeed in protecting California.
Trump: It will start getting cooler. You just watch.
Official: I wish science agreed with you.
Trump: I don't think science knows, actually.

Since then, each year has set a new record for the hottest year yet, and as I write this, Los Angeles is caught in a devastating inferno caused by climate change.

In short, there's no reasoning with him, no facts that will change his mind. He believes in his alternative facts, which means whatever he wants to believe, and you'll see this even more two years from now.

Also, this transit at his age might well show a serious cognitive decline, where he's not thinking clearly at all. To the point where he might retreat into a world of his own making, spouting conspiracy theories all the way down.

     The quality of your mind is being tested now, and any loose ends in your thinking or attitudes will become a serious source of trouble. Any unclear ideas will become a source of confusion to you in many aspects of your life.
     Avoid making important decisions under this transit, especially about your career and overall life objectives. You probably are not seeing clearly enough to make intelligent decisions that take into account all of the relevant factors.
     You may become obsessed with strange ideas and fanciful beliefs, especially religious notions. Avoid drugs that affect the mind at this time, for your mind already has enough unreality to contend with.
     - Robert Hand, Planets in Transit

     The person becomes confused easily, and he often exaggerates. His judgment is poor. It is a very bad time to make important decisions. The person is very susceptible to being deceived or used now. Above all, he should guard against get-rich-quick schemes and opportunities which appear too good to be true.
     The person is disorganized and unfocused, and he has trouble with discipline. He readily forgets things and has difficulty keeping his word. If Mercury is severely afflicted in his natal birth chart [it has that square to Neptune], the person may experience mental instability or a nervous breakdown.
     - James Braha, Transits of the West

To give an example of how dangerous having this transit during a Presidency can be, Bush Jr. had this one when he said God told him He wants us to invade Iraq. And that he ignored his own father's warning about invading Baghdad because "There is a higher father that I appeal to."

To sum up, for this entire term, and especially the second half, Trump will be even more confused and deceitful than usual. Especially if the evangelists fill his head with ideas that he's God's golden boy and can do no wrong. And no matter how much his people try to hide it, as they did with Reagan, Trump won't sit back but will demand a full audience of his brilliant insights.


Pluto

Pluto opposite Pluto     Feb 2027 - Jan 2031

And finally we come to Pluto. As with Uranus conjunct Uranus and Neptune opposite Neptune, this is a generational transit, affecting everyone his age.

Here Pluto is clearing the decks of all that isn't needed. This one goes for the second half of his term, and if he uses it well, he'll delve into therapy and gain understanding of his hang-ups and compulsions.

But we all know he'll take things the other way. In short, it's another troubling sign he'll adamantly try to hold onto the Presidency and threaten everyone who won't give him a third term.

     Many things may be destroyed at this time, and the destruction will be ruthless if you defend them with rigidity. Pluto's action is particularly harsh. Therefore you should simply allow the things of the past to fade and allow the future to be born on their ruins. If you can do this, the potential for positive change with Pluto is very great.
     You may also get into severe power struggles with people who are trying to prevent the changes in your life or who are trying to expedite changes that you are resisting.
     - Robert Hand, Planets in Transit

To sum up, his last two years he'll not only be confused from Neptune, but he'll be struggling for power, tearing everything down, and blaming everyone but himself.


Progressions

Progressed Moon opposite Midheaven     Jan 2026
Tension between his home/emotions and his status.

Progressed Moon square Mars     Mar-Apr 2026
Irritable and angry.

Progressed Moon opposite Uranus     Jan 2028
Something will upset him, probably to do with the Republican primaries.

Progressed Moon conjunct Moon     Apr-May 2028
Progressed Moon opposite Sun       May-Jun 2028

These last two will really bring out the emotions in him, and since they're when the GOP will be choosing their next candidate, it shows he'll be pushing to be the one. If he can't get on the ticket again, he might start a write-in campaign and subvert the election that way.

And finally there's this long-term progression from Mars.

Progressed Mars conjunct Jupiter     all 2028 and 2029

This is Mars at full throtle, where you have lots of energy and ambition and luck is on your side. Seeing this in effect for the next election year, along with the transits above, reinforces the fact that Trump's going to claim the right to be president again.

Wrapping Up the Wreckage

When you put all that together, the picture is clear. His first two months he'll get the most resistance, he'll get more erratic in his third and fourth year, and his last year especially he'll be cantankerous and refusing to leave office. Add an unhealthy dose of delusion and deception to all of it, and then double that for the second half of the term, and you got the makings of a very chaotic, unpredictable, and destructive Presidency.

Historians have already unaminously placed Trump's first term as among the first to third worst Presidencies ever. This next one, it will seem like he's trying to go even lower, and will lash out at anyone who gets in his way.

 
It's worth nothing that whenever the GOP have used a dictator for their own purposes (Ngô Đình Cẩn, Noriega, Saddam), it always backfires on them. And they'll discover the same here. For as soon as they try to leash in what they've created, he's going to tear through them with the same blunt cruelty they applauded and laughed at for so long.

In Part 3 we'll take a look at today's Inauguration chart, which backs up everything we've gone over.

2025-2029 Forecast - Part 1: A Nation Divided

written 12/6/24 to 1/19/25 

 

Lately the news has been full of Trump preparing for the next four years. With every appointment worse than the one before, it seems this will be, in the words of Sam Adams, an Insolence of Administration.

The purpose of this blog is not to get into speculation about why Trump is intent on sabotaging our government. My job is to outline, as clearly as I can, what the actual outcome of all this will be. And also, at the same time, to test how accurate basic astrology can be in forecasting the nation's political landscape and general well-being.

I just printed up our transits for the next four years, and it's not good. A bunch of drunk thugs banging on a short-circuiting pinball machine, while another tries to jimmy all the quarters out of it, might be the best summary. But underneath it all are some deep, tectonic shifts in the foundation of our government that might actually work to our benefit.

So let's get to it.


Forecast For The Nation: Cloudy With A Chance Of Civil War

Saturn

We start with Saturn, which rules the solid structures of our lives, including government, corporations, and big business. Saturn is a very stern taskmaster. Think of a drill sergeant who you really resent, but who teaches you how to keep your act together when it counts.

The last few years we've had it pretty good - Saturn trine our Venus, Jupiter, and Sun, right up to this month. Lots of solid work and things going well.

But Saturn's about to hit the brakes with a square to Mars.

Saturn square Mars     Feb 2025

Squares are obstacles, or challenges, and Mars rules anger, cars, fire, guns, and the military. So having Saturn square Mars is like trying to drive with the brakes on - it's very frustrating, and you feel held back.

My guess is that this will be the new administration finding roadblocks to their reforms, or the military not appreciating having veterans' benefits slashed.

Saturn opposite Neptune      mid-Feb - mid-Mar 2025

At about the same time, this transit to Neptune, which rules both drugs and delusions, shows the nation will have Saturn dashing all the illusions of a utopia under Trump. It could also mean the new FDA head putting limits on medicine, including vaccines.

This description of this transit definitely sounds like how other countries will see us during Trump's first month:

     A time of self-doubt and confusion, which can hurt relationships. You will likely become confused about your responsibilities and what others expect of you.
     You will probably be less realistic, practical, and efficient than usual... Risk of disappointment, loss, embarrassment, deception, and scandal.
     - Astrology King

Saturn square Venus      mid-Feb - mid-Mar 2026

Venus rules our possessions, so the start of Trump's second year may well show difficulty with finances or not having enough funding. This would tie right in with debate over raising the debt limit while extending tax cuts.

Saturn square Pluto      July 2027 - Mar 2028

A time when you can't seem to make the changes you want. Also issues around the government and the limits of power.

To sum up, the worst transits from Saturn take place during the first few months of the next administration. Whether that means Trump will realize he can't get all he wants, or that the opposition will last only a few months, is the real question.
 
  

Uranus

Now we move out to unpredictable Uranus, where you can expect the unexpected, and the transits last for years.

Uranus square Moon      May 2024 - Mar 2026

Here's how I wrote of it two years ago.

     Uranus comes into a challenging aspect to our Moon every 20-22 years, and they're often unsettling since they bring about emotional upheaval and force people to adjust to new circumstances. They've coincided with the start of the War of 1812, WWI, and WWII, and was in effect for 9/11 as well. Exactly the kind of sudden, emotionally-wrought changes to the home front that Uranus aspecting the nation's vulnerable, emotional Moon could bring.
     (Historical events like those often are a combination of many strong transits, as with 9/11, when Pluto was crossing our Ascendant for the first time ever. So don't read too much into one transit, but look for the combined effects.)
     It all begins in the election year of 2024, but most of it will be during the first year of the next administration, so it's a definite sign it will be fraught with tension.

Here's Robert Hand's interpretation, from his classic Planets in Transit:

     This transit will create tensions and sudden changes in your personal and emotional life. Every little tension that you have suppressed over the last several years will suddenly seem to surface and demand to be released in some way.
     Your domestic life may be the source of considerable upsets now. There may be accidents in the home, a sudden need for house repairs, or other sudden problems on this front.
     Men in particular should be wary of this transit, because their attitudes toward women may be rather unstable now, which can result in upsetting relationships.

We're almost halfway through this one, and you've already seen what it's done: stirred up half the people against a female candidate, riled up the other half against a candidate found guilty of sexual assault, and put women in duress over their rights, with jerks taunting women with "Your body, my choice."

Uranus trine Pluto              May 2024 - Feb 2026
Uranus trine Midheaven      May 2025 - May 2026

Both of these are beneficial transits that can help one make creative changes. So that first year might actually help clear out some aspects of the government that have been dragging things down, or get them to work more effectively. It doesn't seem that way right now, of course. But Uranus does work in surprising ways.

Uranus conjunct Uranus      July 2026 - May 2028

Just as our nation's Pluto's Return was the most important transit of the past four years, these next two transits are the most important of the nation's transits for the next four years.

Uranus returns to its natal place in everyone's chart when you're 84 and winding up your life. For nations, though, it's just the start of another cycle. Uranus rules electricity, invention, sudden changes, breakthroughs, earthquakes, and the internet. Events come out of nowhere and everything seems like it's broken, but it's only Uranus opening a way to a better situation.

Here's how I wrote of it two years ago.

     In 2026 we have Uranus returning to its place in our chart. It does this only once every 84 years, and for a person it's often a time of breaking free of the past and becoming more truly yourself.
     How this will play out for the nation I don't know, but there surely won't be anything predictable or stable going on while it lasts. Uranus rules earthquakes, and this will shake things up but leave us in a better place.

As you'll see in my next post, Trump has this one coming up as well, and Vance has the opposition, which comes when you're 42. So the nation, Trump, and Vance are all getting strongly aspected by Uranus in the next few years.

Uranus opposite Ascendant      July 2027 - May 2029

This one is just as unpredictable and likely more disruptive. That's because the point opposite the Ascendent deals with actions from others. In fact, when Mars was at this point in Bush Jr's inauguration chart, many astrologers forecast war.

In the same way, this could be some foreign interference or something that affects our electrical grid. Our allies could change unexpectantly, or some new invention or espionage tool, as with AI, will be used against us.

Here's how I wrote of it two years ago.

     This one is even more unpredictable, since its actions often come from others. As with a rebellious group bringing in revolution, or sudden changes in our allies. Or the next election might be marked by something completely haywire.
     So in all, from 2024 to mid 2029 will be a very unpredictable time for the nation.

And here's a word of caution from Robert Hand's book:

     You may become involved in very disruptive legal disputes. Be careful of acting in a way that stirs people up against you, for they could become extremely disruptive, if you give them any excuse.   

So Uranus shows we have another year of emotional turmoil, and then some kind of big shake-up starting in the second half of Trump's second year and going to the end, with the last year-and-a-half the most dramatic.

 
Troubling Tag Team

Since our nation's Uranus is opposite our Ascendant in our birth chart, we always get that last pair of transits together.

The only times our nation has had Uranus return to its natal position were

June 1859 - April 1861
May 1943 - May 1944

And the only times we've had Uranus opposite our Ascendant were

June 1860 - Mar 1862
Aug 1943 - May 1945

Yeah, not exactly reassuring to see that in a couple of years Uranus will be in the same house and same sign, and again making the same exact aspects, as it did at those times of war.

In fact, we also had Uranus opposite our Ascendant right at the start, from Dec 1776 - April 1778. That fits, because in Feb 1778 we formed a surprising alliance with the nation we'd just been fighting in the French and Indian War.

Neptune

Now we get out to Neptune. Over the past eight years we've covered how Neptune has opened the door to a flood of misinformation and gaslighting in politics. Neptune rules illusions and delusions, and moves like the fog, clouding things over and confusing people till they've lost all sense of direction.

Neptune opposite Midheaven      Mar 2024 - Jan 2027

Here's what I wrote two years ago.

     The Midheaven rules one's public standing and government, and so during this time we're going to be more unsure of ourselves, driving in the fog, not sure where to go. It'll feel like there's no firm footing as we try to make sense of things. It also shows how for the next election the fog machines will be on full again, and many will be misguided in who to trust.

That sums up the 2024 election, with most Republicans getting their news from unreliable sources. Biden himself mentioned this in his farewell address, saying, "Americans are being buried under an avalanche of misinformation and disinformation, enabling the abuse of power. The free press is crumbling. Social media is giving up on fact checking. The truth is smothered by lies told for power and for profit."

Neptune square Venus      Mar 2025 - Jan 2028

So far Trump's appointed fourteen billionaires to his administration, and if you think they're there to cut waste and not simply do what they've always done, which is work the system to benefit themselves the most, well, you can thank Neptune for that.

Venus rules our possessions and values, and with this transit going on, all sorts of shady deals will happen out of sight and financial regulations will be eroded. With debate over the debt limit, this also might signify the loss of trust in the American dollar in the global market.

Neptune square Jupiter      June 2025 - Feb 2029

As if those two weren't enough, this one is about to kick in as well and run through the entire term. Jupiter expands everything, and with Neptune aspecting it, it's about losing all sense of perspective in your beliefs and faith. Evangelicals will get to feeling so holier-than-thou, they'll be levitating out of their pews. And the government will be using religion as an excuse to prop up and enact laws that would never stand on their own.

Vance has Neptune conjunct his Jupiter in his birth chart, and he has this very same transit for the next three years, so count on him to be leading the charge as they try to force their delusions on everyone else.

Here's what I wrote two years ago.

     This one is a danger in that Jupiter expands all the qualities of Neptune. At its worst will be the temptation to go full out in addictions, such as gambling and drugs. It could also mean a great deal of gaslighting and deception.
     So in all, for the past seven years Neptune has been undercutting the functions of an informed democracy, and will continue to do so. Whoever we elect in 2024, it won't be with any sense of clarity.

Robert Hand's book gives this word of warning:

     Your fantasies may take the form of an overdeveloped belief in your own strength and power. You may feel that you cannot lose, but if you succumb to this belief, the day will come when you lose very badly, and then your foolish overconfidence will be replaced with defeat and discouragement.
     Be particularly careful to avoid wild speculations and risks, for you will almost certainly lose out; you aren't paying enough attention to the reality of the situation, and you are seeing only what you want to see. You are more than usually gullible at this time, especially if someone flatters your sense of importance.
     You may take a somewhat more exalted but equally futile path by becoming involved in a religious or spiritual movement that makes you lose all touch with reality.

An example of this would be when Speaker Johnson, in convening the new Congress, read a prayer into the record that he said was a favorite of Thomas Jefferson's. That Jefferson even recited it every morning.

Not only was that prayer not heard of until 1882, but Jefferson's views on Christianity are nothing Johnson would ever admit to. Jefferson admired the moral teachings of Jesus, but didn't believe in any miracles or the story of divinity. Instead, Jefferson wrote things like this:

     The day will come when the mystical generation of Jesus, by the Supreme Being as his father, in the womb of a virgin, will be classed with the fable of the generation of Minerva in the brain of Jupiter.

And for what could apply to Johnson and his Christian nationalists:

     In every country and in every age, the priest has been hostile to liberty. He is always in alliance with the despot, abetting his abuses in return for protection to his own.

So to sum up Neptune, the entire term will be clouded in delusion, deceit, and financial scams, all wrapped up and broadcast as God's favorite nation entering its greatest age.

The Fog of War

Here's the only times we've gotten those three transits from Neptune.

Neptune opposite Midheaven

 

June 1859 - Feb 1863

Right back to the Civil War. And when Neptune was halfway through its orbit, it was conjunct our Midheaven from Nov 1940 - July 1944.

Neptune square Venus

 

Dec 1777 - Aug 1781
May 1860 - Feb 1864
Nov 1941 - July 1945

Neptune square Jupiter

 

Oct 1779 - Sept 1782
Apr 1862 - Feb 1865
Dec 1942 - Aug 1946

Those dates are almost the same as Uranus's transits, because while Uranus orbits our charts every 84 years, Neptune takes almost exactly twice that, 165 years, and squares come twice a cycle. And now the two planets have teamed up again.

Why Neptune should be tied up with warfare, I don't know, except that during times of war, the truth is always the first casualty.


Pluto

And finally we get to Pluto, the planet of transformation, which has rocked the foundations of the nation these past few years, but now offers a helpful transit.

Pluto trine Uranus      Mar 2026 - Dec 2029

Once all that frustration of Saturn is past, and Neptune's fog begins to clear away, Pluto offers a chance to be creative in changing things for the good of everyone.

Uranus rules invention and humanity as a whole, and here Pluto's power will help bring about new systems of government and renewable power. It'll clear out what isn't working and set a better foundation.

The only times the nation had this one before were

April 1780 - Jan 1784
Oct 1973 - Sept 1975

So it coincides with when we were fighting the second half of the Revolution, including when we ratified the Articles of Confederation, and when Nixon resigned in Aug 1974.


The Nation's Progressions: Not Much Progress

Progressed Moon in Aries     12/5/24 - 11/29/26

For the past four years our progressed Moon has been in humanitarian Aquarius and compassionate Pisces. But now it's moved into Aries, the sign of Mars, which rules men, ego, conflict, and war. So it's no wonder we've been seeing all this macho grandstanding, or Zuckerberg saying corporations need more "masculine energy."

 

Progressed Moon square Venus      Feb/Mar 2025

Venus rules our possessions and values, and the incoming administration values nothing more than possessions. So this most probably marks the tax cuts they're going to drop right at the start. Also, the Neptune square Venus transit starts that very month, showing the tax cuts won't benefit the nation.

Progressed Moon opposite Saturn      Nov 2025

A depressing time.

Progressed Moon square Pluto      Sept 2026

Possible anger here, especially at injustice or the misuse of power.

Progressed Moon conjunct Uranus      July/Aug 2029

Some sudden event will affect everyone's emotions. For an example, our progressed Moon was opposite Uranus for Nov 2016.

Major Progressions

All those Moon progressions are in effect for just a month or two. Our Sun's progressions, though, are in effect for a full year before and after it's exact.

Progressed Sun square Mars      Feb 2025 - Feb 2027

The Sun is our willpower and intention, and a square aspect to Mars is about arguments, conflict, and basically being a bully. You meet resistance and get angry. So the entire first two years of the next administration will not at all be one of everything going smoothly and people appreciating all their actions.

The only time we've had this one before was for April 1846 to April 1848. A month after it started, we declared war on Mexico, and before it was through we had seized California. I'm sure this won't ease the mind of anyone in Greenland.

Progressed Sun opposite Neptune      Mar 2026 - Mar 2028

For the second and third years of the administration, we're back to Neptune again. Meaning the government will be misleading people or outright deceiving us. And all the while telling us we're winning. Could also be issues with illusions, as with the movie industry and drugs, as well as vaccines.

The only times we've had this progression before are a conjunction for May 1847 to May 1849 and a square from May 1937 to May 1939. I just glanced at what happened then, and sure enough, in Oct 1937 we got the Marihuana Tax Act, which was a campaign of deliberate deceit over the dangers of weed, all to give western sheriffs the right to arrest Mexican immigrants. So this may signal finally legalizing weed or locking people up for other drugs, such as birth control or abortion medications.


Wrapping Up

     Between you and me I think we are in an exceeding dangerous situation.

     - George Washington 

The main themes of all we just went over are turmoil, delusion, and aggression. These aren't new to anyone who's been listening to Trump, but it at least shows there's a reason it's happening now. Throughout our nation's history the same stories are played out time and again, and the next four years will be a very tense, unpredictable time.

What got us through those times were good leaders. Men of dignity and humility, who in the end took the path of upholding our ideal of a just, free nation of equals. While at the same time being very practical and knowing who to trust to get the job done.

 

We won't have that this time. We'll have a Commander in Chief who has already taunted our allies with threats of invasion, and who has surrounded himself with an inexperienced cabinet that has conflicting views on national policy. We will be like a gunboat without a rudder, spinning down river in a thick fog and firing our cannons all the way, not caring who we hit as long as we make a big noise.

In short, everything's going to be falling apart, and it's going to take a couple years for it to get to the point where even Fox News can't hide it anymore. Then the door might open to Uranus forging the way for something new.

 

To get a better look at how Trump will govern, and what years will be worst, we'll go over his own transits in Part 2.

Election 2024 Epilogue

So I didn't get the election right. My first take on it, back in 2022, was certain Biden would not be reelected, and that was spot on. But once Harris was in the race, things got too close to call. I was very cautious about it, saying, "It may not be the actual way it will go," but still, I got it wrong.

What happened is, all summer and through the autumn I avoided the polls. Looked away if I even glimpsed a chart online. I simply did not want to know. And then, while I was in the middle of writing my update with Harris as the new nominee, someone on social media mentioned how she was ahead in Pennsylvania by three points and even Iowa was looking good.

I tried to figure out how that could be and came up with the idea that our nation's Uranus square Moon transit could mean a breakthrough in status for women, as it has been at times in the past. I wasn't convinced, but I had to choose one way or the other, and in the end went with the story I liked best.

I can take some comfort in how Adrian Ross Duncan, who has been very on top of things with elections, even he said Harris would win. If only because "the thought of a second Trump term is impossible for me to contemplate." And this is after he cautioned about how, when forecasting elections, "You will have to fight confirmation bias."

Also, after the election, when I finally checked the 538 after avoiding polls all year, it turned out that even with all their months of polling data and numbers crunching, they also gave Harris a slight edge. So my report, using a twenty-year-old copy of an astrology program, actually did as well as they did.

Now we move on to our forecast for 2025-2029, and with this there's no polls to confuse us. No one has any idea how it will go, but I think I can give some good insight on what to expect.
