It's a dreary time for many if not most of us. Venus and Jupiter both square Saturn, and Marexactly opposite Pluto. Where is love? Plenty of misunderstandings. Incendiary stuff and insults, and in politics charges and countercharges. Nobody knows how to predict where such an incendiary or furious campaign season will lead. 

It's Halloween. Fun-time, yet one of the symbols is "dental work," suggesting a practical focus on health or other things that "just need to be done." Yet sometimes some dentists impose unnecessary or makeshift options on their patients. There is more than one way to get an acceptable result.

That is suggested by "a Muse weighing twins" as a clue that patient weighing of options is better than precipitate action, especially because of the heavy Saturn aspects plus the moon being in the Via Combusta as well as in its last day of a crescent or Old Moon. The New comes tomorrow. Let's go easy on things. 

More in the spirit of Halloween is "A face painted with grotesque scrolls, surrounded by a mass of tangled hair." "Vain and wild projects" are "neither useful nor fortunate." There is grotesqueness and peculiarity combined with genius. Some like to don costumes and some do not.

Those who win the costume ball are likened unto "The king of the fairies approaching his domain." Says Dr. Jones: "Any actual fullness of life is altogether independent of the passing state of affairs in a world of time and space." "Outer reality takes the form with which onendows it as one exercises sovereignty over its potentials in the creative realm of one's imagination." To what or whom, visible or invisible, does one offer one's allegiance?

Futile or vacuous projects involving inconstant,

Fruitless work yield as much status and fortune

As dwelling in a black hole, a cavern in a rock.

Out in the sunlight, one is an archer  shooting

Arrows toward a flight of binds, effecting 

Operations without design, essaying more

Love affairs than one can manage. Or one

Dives to swim in an angry sea, resolute and

As the sacrificial leader of a forlorn hope.

What are the merits one is upholding? In the world of

Wholeness; contradictions equal reconciliations.

What then? The marksman becomes avaricious and

Predatory, resembling a wolf standing on the carcass of

In which it lives and moves. A Muse weighing

Twins unites complementary functions into

Immortal insights. Then all have unusual success

In individual callings. A man with his left foot

~Some of the Symbolic Readings from DJT's Horoscope~

Of course I see Donald Trump's flaws. But as an astrologer I am supposed to be dispassionate about all that.

Shall I also write about Kamala Harris? Maybe, but that would be harder because (a) I am very suspicious of her, especially on war and abortion, and (b) I have been familiar with Trump's chart since he ran in 2016 and have had time to ponder its peculiarities.

A few preliminaries: 1. I do not predict election winners. It's tempting, of course, to speculate and I allow myself to do that. I may say things like "If Trump controls this tendency, he would have a better shot at winning" or "If Harris could emphasize this quality in her personality it would help" and so on. 2. I do not believe there are "good" or "bad" horoscopes; everything depends on the way the native (of the horoscope) uses the astrological setup he was given at birth. 

And so what good is astrology in politics? It shows the personality and character traits of the candidates. It does not absolutely show which of two candidates would do a better job in the given office, but shows a lot about the way they operate, and what might be their particular strengths and weaknesses. It's astute, brilliant psychology.

Following in this report shall be some of the symbols in Donald J Trump's chart I already posted here some days ago. First, perhaps the worst symbol in his chart. I don't want to heighten the Trump Derangement Syndrome in anyone, but here it is:

His birth Mars at 26-27 Leo: "A dagger. This is an ominous sign! It may mean danger to the native at the hands of an enemy, or, yet more unhappily, the reverse of this. The native will certainly be of a quarrelsome, argumentative nature; given over to impulsive actions. A restless and destructive mind, always on the alert to attack, to oppose, to argue. Very executive, but by no means constructive in disposition, and hence liable to go through life like a tornado, remarked but not esteemed." 

There it is, the worries of the Trump Derangement people in one paragraph written by a seer in the 1890s. 

Yet I support Trump's candidacy, because that is not all there is in his horoscope. There is also this:

(His Mercury at Cancer 9:) "A little village lying in a fertile valley. This indicates one whose heart is full of native goodness, and whose patience, thrift, and true humility will bring his work to perfection. There is very little aggression in this native; like the valley it is fruitful in good things because of its lowliness, while surrounding high peaks of the mountains are barren. [Trump's champions keep pointing out how despite his wealth he has a natural touch with the common man, as in his stint working in a McDonald's. Rural people generally like him.] He will be always successful, even beyond his ambitions, which are modest but steadfast. It is a degree of Contentment." 

I admit that these two readings appear to contradict each other. But in fact they show two sides of the same Donald Trump. Astrology does not deny that people are complex, but adumbrates their complexity.

Here is more, from other planets in the DJT chart, posted here a few weeks ago:

}The Interesting DJT{

Continuing with a fesymbols from Donald Trump's birth-chart (the Borelli-Sepharial symbols): 

Moon, Sagittarius 21-22: "Two arrows crossed: An aggressive spirit, a mind given over to contention and strife, a soul set against the current of public feeling and opinion. Such an one will be continually engaged in the pursuit of his own eccentricities. There is danger of litigation and a volant end." [Two assassination attempts so far.]

Venus, Cancer 25-26: "A meteor or falling star. His position in life will be always subject to reversals and changes and his success will not be lasting. If he should attain to eminence he will be in danger of a fall. It is a degree of Uncertainty." 

These two symbols have played out already with the endless litigation to which DJT has been subject. The last two symbols for today are from a formula I devised over the years to choose the two most prominent symbols in any individual's chart:

Moon's south node (south because the moon is gibbous), 20-21 Sagittarius: "Two triangles interlaced, with a third superposed. The index of a mind of more than average ability. The conquest of things mental and spiritual will be a chief object. A balance of physical and mental forces, holding the power to utilize them to considerable extent. It gives aptitude for the study of the social sciences, and confers ability for self-government and rulership."

Saturn, Cancer 23-24: "A strong castle on a high rock, and upon the battlements of the castle a flag with a crown upon it is extended in the wind. A strong, masterly character of great endurance, ability and daring; ambitious of honor and capable of withstanding his enemies while achieving greatness and fame for himself. It is a degree of Mastery." 

No prediction about the election! It does appear that Trump is on a roll 

at the time of this writing.

Message for Week of October 26 - November 2, 2024

~Invoking Saving Influences~

I've been struggling literally for decades to find a secure, reliable method for weekly reports. The one I'm using now relies on Charubel's symbols for the degrees of the zodiac. 

Preview: Next week's report includes thelection and its outcome. It looks good in a lot of ways. I do not predict election results, nor believe that that is a proper use of astrology, but to be honest I have to say that it seems that the Trump-Vance-Kennedy-Gabbard coalition is favored, and I believe that would be best for the nation and the world. This last is my personal opinion, not based on astrology. 

Meanwhile the coming week looks quite challenging.

1 "A traveler struggling onward in the midst of a terrible snow-storm pushes forward in hope of a refuge, but the storm thickens. The brave one is lost in the darkness." We had this symbol last week also. It applies to many in North Carolina. Charubel says, "The sun that sets on one climrises on another." What "storms" are you encountering

2 One way out could be to "enter a dark tunnel," but this could be unfortunate and end in hopelessness. Yet there are always "saving influences" if we can attune ourselves to them. 

Even worse is one of the worst symbols in Charubel's system: "There is no symbol to this degree. It is charged with evil and wickedness of the most diabolical nature. Destitute of any real sympathy. Treacherous, reserved and studious of black magic." On Friday as I write, it is said that Satanists somewhere are celebrating a Black Mass against Donald Trump, and some Catholics arengaging in rituals to impede the attack. This symbol shall be with us the week of thelection also. Many in fact feel that good is facing off evil in a very big way. We are to "love our enemies" and pray for them, but not be deceived by them. 

4 However, life goes on. "A man driving a bull or an ox" is a cattle dealer, and prosperous. Maybe the "bull market" shall continue. 

5 It's harvest season many places. "'A sheaf of corn' denotes a good member of society, a practical benefactor of the human race." Often I find myself praying, "Thank you, Lord, for good people," the ones who just do their work and keep everything functioning smoothly. These are among the ones who circumvent thevil of paragraph 3.

6 As does "a good person, a truthful person and a just person" symbolized by "the open Bible with a sword on it." The sword is judgment, and the Bible guarantees that the judgment shall be righteous. Let's hope this applies to thendless "lawfare" cases now being prosecuted through what looks the opposite of justice.

7 Finally we have someone who could circumvent the demonic influence of paragraph 3. The symbol is three asterisks: * * * "A very extraordinary person, destined to take an active part in public life, and exercise a great influence on mankind." Think of your favorite such hero or heroine. And, if so inspiredemulate him or her

Tough times. In politics, fighting over trivia as well as very serious stuff. Supposedly an old scandal involving Kamala Harris is to brevealed the same day (today) as Donald Trump's long interview with Joe Rogan. Many are weary of all of it. Meanwhile Venus squaring Saturn is painful emotionally, with most of us wondering who loves us or whom we love. Is lovreal? To whom am I loyal? What is the honest cost of loyalty?

My mind, and many minds, are given over to politics, but I may comment on that in the weekend report.

Force rather than reason, wounding or else just

Their relaxation sustains their aspiration within

repose. Two of them play cards together, given to

Enough of a challenge for the day, curing 

Despondence. On the table are cups or goblets
