Beware April 19, 2024

[Jim Eshelman]

Both President Biden and VP Harris have terrible, terrible lunar returns in April.

The U.S. chart isn't bothered by transits or progressions, but is moving toward a progressed New Moon in June and is in a year when Solar Arc Saturn and angles are moving through natal Mars-Neptune. While this concentrates around the election (with Ascendant to Mars the year after), this is already in orb now.

Lunar ingresses for April for Washington are between "good" and "not bad"; but the April 14 Arisolar is the most worrisome chart of the year (and lasts six months, essentially the whole election cycle). By the time it hits, we'll have already come through one Pluto return and various CapQ Moon emotionally swirling aspects.

One might well expect the immediate aftermath of the Arisolar to trigger something severe and probably violent. In American history, some of the most pivotal events have followed in the immediate wake of the Arisolar. Looking at Capsolar quotidian angles for the last half of April, I see that CapQ Zenith crosses transiting Uranus April 19.

April 19? Oh no no no, not that date. The Waco siege, the Oklahoma City bombing, and other events intentionally set off to remember those two days. Other than the large impact of 9/11, there is no calendar date in U.S. history more volatilizing and likely to set off violence than April 19.

All of these patterns point to radical violence.

President Biden's terrible SLR sets up April 9. His April 23 Demi is similarly bad, though less overtly violent. VP Harris has a similarly violent, dangerous SLR April 9 (even more radical and dangerous if that is possible. However, her April 23 SLR is suddenly elevating, intensifying her fortune and dignity. Both of them have Saturn-dominant SLRs May 6, Harris with Saturn exactly angular and aspecting her natal Venus-Uranus-Pluto, Biden with Saturn closely angular on his Venus-Uranus and (somewhat) Sun.

On April 22, the Supreme Court will hear the matter of Trump's claim of immunity from prosecution. At a minimum, this will delay his criminal trial two months. Possibly they won't issue a decision until the end of June. - This may be tied into these anticipated events.

Wall Street Journal a couple of days ago wrote of April 1-19 as being the most treacherous 19 days the White House has had to navigate recently, due to the Middle East situation. It was a period in which they had to constantly be on top of the right words and actions to reduce the chance of an expanding war.

Even with the most critical days past, we're still in a threatening time for Pres. Biden, at least politically if not personally (physically). With that in mind, look at today's Full Moon for Washington, DC. The chart is for 7:48:44 PM EDT today.
