Nancy Pelosi has named Liz Cheney to the Select Committee investigating the Jan 6 insurrection/riot.

Democratic Leader of the House has named former Chair of the House Republican Caucus to a committee investigating Trump's incitement of a riot trying to overthrown the government.

It'll bury Liz Cheney but I think she was already in the bottom of the hole with the dirt coming down, so..

In a 6 to 3 decision announced July 1, 2021 at 10:00 AM eastern the Supreme Court said the new laws Arizona put in place to restrict the ability to vote aren't discriminatory against minorities.

As of this morning, 100% of all American and coalition forces have left Bagram Air Base in Afghanistan, which has been the center of America military presence during much of the war. Final U.S. departure from the country is expected soon.

I was curious what this looked like for Afghanistan - what this period and this change means to the country itself. Checking the ingresses for Kabul, I find the first, strongest indication is that transiting Jupiter is within 1° of the Cansolar's Descendant. I take it, therefore, that this is being experienced as marking victory. (Personally, I'm not so sure about that.)

This is within an Arisolar that is Jupiter-positive worldwide - with Moon square Jupiter - but for Kabul has signaled increased fighting in pockets of the country. This might still get worse before the Arisolar is replaced by the Cansolar in two weeks. (The Cansolar has Venus on MC for Kabul, a signal of peace; but Venus is conjunct a more widely foreground Mars, so it is a volatile peace, while Venus square Uranus shows significant changes in foreign relationships and, perhaps, internal alliances.)

So I guess it looks like we'd expect: Our leaving is progress, it marks the end of a long war, and there is still much volatility in the nation (and internal shifting of alliances) in the near future.

Two sizeable earthquakes hit today at distant areas of the state about the same minute. I'm not sure if they were connected except that surely they had to be connected.

July 8, 2021, 3:49:48 PM PDT, Antelope Valley, CA 38N30'27'', 119W29'59''
North of Palmdale and Lancaster, about an hour-plus north of Los Angeles. Magnitude 6.0.

July 8, 2021, 3:50:13 PM PDT, Walker, CA 38N30'24'', 119W31'26''
Near the Nevada border north of Yosemite and south of Lake Tahoe. Magnitude 5.2.

I didn't feel anything - I was just pulling away from work as the first one hit - but a friend in San Francisco that I called around 4 PM first told me about this and that they got a good shake. Although the significantly stronger quake was closer to LA, the LA Times is reporting Sacramento and the Sierra Nevadas as feeling it the most. It doesn't seem (from reports so far) that there was much damage or any fatalities.

I'll run the charts for the larger of the two, nonetheless - the one near LA. I notice that the longitudes of the two locations are nearly identical, only about a minute apart, so I would expect MC and EP contacts to be more important than Asc contacts (unless Asc is near the equinoctial points). - But Ascendants for the two quakes are only 0°03' apart. - This shows especially in the Day indications. Overall, the charts are pretty good (and the Bridge sterling!) for what is probably ultimately a minor event.

Year: Capsolar {+2}
(Neptune is good for the quake - it happens every year - and Venus for the fact that there seems to have been no real damage. The Moon-Uranus square is entirely location-distinctive.)

July 11, 2021, about 8:40 AM EDT, Spaceport America (32N59'25", 106W58'11") in New Mexico

Richard Branson, 70-year-old billionaire owner of the Virgin companies, flew as a crew member aboard a Virgin Galactic flight, the V.S.S. Unity, to the edge of space this morning, after a 17-year-effort to create the commercial spaceflight service. They launched at approximately 10:40 AM EDT this morning. (I've converted this to Mountain time above.)

This was the 22nd flight of this craft but the first that was fully crewed (and, of course, the first that included Branson - I'll start a thread to examine his personal horoscope in the proper section - I'll just say now that his transits were phenomenal but, were I he, I would not have picked the rising of my own Saturn as the minute I wanted to launch).

Another key moment worth recording: At about 9:25 AM MDT the passenger ship separated from its carrier craft and fired its own rockets for about 60 seconds to complete the transition to space. A few minutes later, they returned.

As often happens, the event chart itself was unimpressive. The question now is whether this moment of personal victory - a first of its kind - shows also in the mundane framework as a significant event in the world as a whole.

Year: Capsolar (Dormant.) Moon-Uranus.

(Shows well enough, especially the exciting adventure and the newness. It does have malefic markers, though - I've already seen Saturn factors in Branson's personal charts, and it shows here. There may be part of the story we haven't heard yet. However, it's not a terrible chart for this at all: Original Mercury, Gemini, and Apollo flights often had malefics evidently reflecting the arduousness and danger of this sort of thing.)

Cubans in Florida are also protesting shouting at Biden to remove the blockades.

The Arisolar has been really hard on Cuba, and this week's Canlunar - with Uranus exactly on EP square Saturn a few degrees off MC - was their breaking point. (And Neptune is transiting the Cansolar Asc this month for plain "going crazy" mass volatility.)

I imagine today's aspects in the sky are boosting this: Moon in Cancer is sliding through the Venus-Mars conjunction. Cuban passions are flaring.

The upcoming Cansolar that is dormant for the U.S. has Mercury rising and Neptune on MC for Havana (plus the Moon-Sun-Pluto T-square everywhere).

July 12, 2021
Fifty-one Democratic Texas State Representatives arrived on two charted planes in DC this afternoon after departing the Austin airport at about 3:10PM Central time. They are trying to keep the Texas legislature from forming a quorum and voting to restrict voting in Texas. Had they stayed in Texas they could have been arrested and moved to the state house and forced to remain so the legislature could vote.

They plan to stay in DC till the Texas session ends August 6, lobbying US Senators to pass the voting rights act, and trying to get Joe Manchin's head out of the clouds.

[Jim Eshelman]

It's a Jupiter and Neptune day in Austin. I'm not sure how that describes these events (I could make something up), but it's clearly Jupiter + Neptune.

The Caplunar has Neptune stationary and rising. The Canlunar has Jupiter setting.

CapQ Ascendant squares transiting Neptune (and Sun exactly transits Capsolar Asc FWIW). Jupiter exactly conjoins Cansolar Asc.

July 14, 2021, no specific time yet, not certain of centering location yet
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2021_European_floods

This is still an evolving news story - the details aren't yet specific enough for me to do an astrological workup.

Three western German states, plus Belgium and parts of Netherlands, Luxembourg, and Switzerland, were struck by horrific floods that have killed more than 70 people (maybe far more) - currently 58 known in Germany, 11 in Belgium, 1 in Italy - with 1,300 still missing. Numerous buildings were destroyed (probably more to be reported). Wikipedia says these began yesterday, July 14, but the news reports were breaking today, July 15. Wikipedia calls them "the deadliest natural disaster in Germany since World War II," so may eventually need to examine charts for Berlin (even though it was not in the affected region - it is the ego-center of the whole nation).

Massive, record rainfalls caused rivers to overflow everywhere. The worst area seems to have been the Ahrweiler district of Germany, so I'm using its capital, Bad Neuenahr-Ahrweiler, as a working location.

In the Ahrweiler area, the CAPSOLAR had the partile Sun-Pluto conjunction on IC. The ARISOLAR had Uranus square MC, but benefic leaning with an angular Venus (which is pro-rain but usually doesn't show for deadly disasters).

Lunar ingresses, which are usually most significant for weather phenomena, aren't very impressive. think it's from the geographic spread of the phenomena. The Caplunar has very impressive aspects (such as a Venus-Pluto opposition) across the horizon, Mars opposite Saturn not horribly far from the horizon - but none of these is quite angular enough to reject dormancy.

We get some help if, instead of looking at the horoscopes, we look at astro-maps for the ingresses. I suggest you see the Canlunar displayed to show ecliptical squares to the angles, and see the Mars line cutting through or near most of the affected areas.

Neptune has been transiting the Cansolar MC for the most afflicted areas, and the last 48 hours had transiting Neptune come to the CanQ MC.

But the story is far more geographically diverse and generally complex than I've likely conveyed.

July 15, 2021, about 10AM Eastern when the banks opened, all over the place in the US.

Child tax credits for $250 to $300 per child started to land in people's bank accounts if they filed taxes with direct deposit and are "lower income." People without direct deposit will get checks in the mail with a nice letter from Joe Biden. (Credit Trump for the letter idea.)

So far this will only happen monthly through December, but this will lift most children in the US out of poverty. This is huge!

Ugh. See the forecast for the Liblunar at sunrise this morning. For Sun, read "elected officials" in general instead of the President.

[SteveS]

For Germany's catastrophic flooding, IMO, Berlin's June 26 Caplunar (Chart of the Month) symbolized this catastrophic flooding for Germany. I show Caplunar Mars partile conjunct Caplunar ASC partile 135 Caplunar Neptune for an "outstanding" Mars-Neptune event, with Caplunar Saturn 2,50 conjunct Caplunar DSC partile 90 Uranus for an "outstanding" Saturn-Uranus event. All 3 of the malefics-Mars-Saturn-Neptune were prominent with Berlin's June 26 Caplunar. But for the sheer destruction, we actually need go no further than angular Mars & Saturn dominating Berlin's Caplunar.

Are you looking at the right month?

Here it is: viewtopic.php?f=46&t=4566

Liblunar (Jul 17)
Effective July 17-30. The Cansolar, half an hour earlier, has Moon square Sun-Pluto - all partile, but only widely foreground. In this Liblunar, the same three planets fall within 2° of angles in Washington. All aspects are within about half a degree: Sun square Moon is 0°01'. Moon-Sun aspects and angular Pluto show radical "phase shifts" that alter existing conditions. Moon-Sun especially shines a spotlight on government in general and the Chief Executive in particular. Adding a close mundane Moon-Saturn square and the July 18-22 Bridge, President Biden's safety and well-being are at risk. Moon-Sun aspects this powerful have also historically ignited major, impactful shifts in rhythmic or phase-like phenomena, like the stock market.

With ingress Mars (square Saturn) exactly angular in the Capsolar Quotidian for Washington July 17, the Secret Service is advised to be at their best. Also, the longitude shared by San Francisco, Portland, and Seattle is under fire for these two weeks (perhaps literally), with Seattle getting the worst of it.

[Jupiter Sets at Dawn]

Are you looking at the right month?

Probably not.

Thanks. I was looking at May 29 - June 26 because that's the one right below July 23rd to August 19th. I am dyslexic and stuff like them being out of order really messes me up.

Just now MSNBC has a chryon saying "Doald Trump" is doing something or other.

The Washington Nationals vs the Padres baseball game was suspended about 9:30 PM July 17, 2021 at Nationals Park, Washington, DC when gunfire outside the park wounded three people.

A six year old walking with her family in Congress Heights, DC was killed by gunfire about the same time.

[Jim Eshelman]

Sigh... CapQ MC was opposite ingress Mars in DC yesterday. It's why I picked yesterday (in the forecast, under the Liblunar) as the most threatening day of this current volatile period.

Effective July 17-30... With ingress Mars (square Saturn) exactly angular in the Capsolar Quotidian for Washington July 17, the Secret Service is advised to be at their best...

Astrologer Debbie Nestor got 9:20 PM, but I don't know the source yet. I posted this on Facebook (mundane astrologers page) this afternoon:

As you know, Debbie (probably why you flagged me), I'd forecast yesterday as the highest risk for violence in DC (though,. combined with other charts, I'd thought the president was at risk). BTW, at almost the same time as this event, a six-year-old was killed, also in Washington, DC, walking with her parents. I forecast this violence based on three things: (1) First, transits of Saturn and Uranus to the angles, and Mars to progressed Moon, of Sun's Sidereal Capricorn ingress, we were already in several days of volatile conditions beginning July 17. (2) Second, Moon entered Sidereal Libra 6:08 AM on the 17th with a Sun-Pluto opposition exactly across the horizon, exactly square Moon, and a mundane Moon-Saturn square. (3) For final timing, I cited the chart attached below: This is the quotidian progression (the strongest day-timing I know) of Sun's Sidereal Capricorn ingress (Capsolar). The way this is used: Look for planets within 1-2° of angles. In this case, for the time and place of the shooting, progressed IC 9°58' Aries conjoined ingress progressed Mars at 9°02' Aries, square ingress Saturn at 8°17' Capricorn - suggesting one of the worst days of the year in DC. Triggering it all, transiting Moon at 8°54' Libra crossed the quotidian MC, opposing Mars, squaring Saturn at the time of the shooting.

On a Facebook page earlier this week, an astrologer asked what people saw about the disease difficulties in Australia. Here was the original question:

Does anyone have any insights into Australia?

We weathered 2020 virtually unscathed-except for Melbourne (Gemini) which is now in its 5th lockdown..while the rest of Australia went on with normal lives. Now Sydney has a terrible outbreak of delta and could be possibly locked down until August. Is it going to get out of control?

We had a "Fortress Australia 'mentality and a lack of vaccines- and appalling leadership! which developed a complacent attitude- we did not experience the same horror as the USA or the UK.Thoughts?

As this question came the day of the Cansolar, I showed a map of Cansolar planet lines for Australia and wrote:

Sydney has had a rough go for a couple of years now - fires then IIRC floods and now disease. The Sidereal solar ingresses have mapped this pretty well: The Capricorn ingress mid-January had Neptune rising and square MC through much of western Australia, closer to Canberra (thus affecting the whole country) but close enough for NSW. Today, Sun entered Sidereal Cancer and I think it's showing a reprieve for the region - some real recovery. It's hard to juggle because, while Venus and Jupiter straddle angles, Mars isn't that far off. I think, on balance, it means that the next six months will, on balance, be healing and recovering, but there are still strong threads in inflammation (fire? infection?) running through the overall recovery. Melbourne also has more Venus than Mars, but Adelaide has Saturn running right through it emphasis added[. Here is a map of planets square the angles (that is, very very strong) in Sun's Sidereal Cancer ingress as the best map to show the layered effects - you can see for yourself where one predominates over the other, understanding that what shows for Canberra is general for the entire country.

She replied,

Jim Eshelman so saturn running through adelaide?? what does that indicate? they have been very safe and lucky so far.

I explained the usual meanings of the Saturn line:

...it generally means a variety of hardship and especially loss, whether economically or (in more extreme instances) of lives. It may not be from the pandemic, but from something else; but areas about 200 km either side of that indigo line will be among the hardest hit in Australia for the next three months.

This morning she wrote back:

...WOW.. covid has hit adelaide and it is going into lockdown!!!

Three days ago it was the safe place, no serious problems, where the idea of real pandemic problems was a surprise. Today, as the Saturn line anticipated, it's in lockdown.

At least a dozen people drowned in the subway in Zhengzhou, Henan province China. From Saturday, July 17, 2021 through Tuesday, July 20, 2021, over 24" of rain, 96% of the average yearly, fell. Besides the flooded subway, over 150 children and teachers had to be rescued from a kindergarten, many of the children being floated out in plastic filing boxes their teachers had used to keep them above the water.

This area was also subjected to severe heatwaves that strained the electric grid.

I woke up this morning to see the streets were wet. "Oh," I thought, "we had a little rain last night." I didn't think much more about it.

But, even outside of drought conditions, rain in LA in July is unusual, and it turns out it won't be just a token amount. East of LA, in the Inland Empire (so-called), they are expecting over one inch of rain today, which is huge. Flash flood warnings have been issued for the region.

The new Caplunar a couple of days ago has an exact Venus-Jupiter opposition across the EP axis!
