At this point, I am only shocked that anyone is shocked. We have been on a steady trajectory for the events of the past few days ever since Donald Trump bullied his way into the Oval Office, and maybe even before that. He has been fueling and forgiving the far-right extremist fringe and their addled conspiracy theories since the beginning. And now that the deranged and paranoid Trump is wounded and backed into a corner, he has crossed the last in a series of previously uncrossable boundaries. Again, why is anyone surprised? Of course his rabid ranting and his unhinged demagoguery has incited the mob to violence. Where did we think this miasma of fury-filled grievance would inexorably lead us?
As mentioned in a previous post, the US is now under a progressed aspect that brings sorrow, loss, and profound stress to the American population: progressed Moon square to progressed Saturn (2Scorpio56), from mid-December 2020 to mid-January 2021. This is currently being intensely exacerbated by the transit of Saturn (2Aquarius56) from January 2 to January 11, and then will be further inflamed by the transit of Mars (2 Taurus56) from January 10 to January 12.
It is clear from this configuration that the drama unfolding before our eyes is not yet over. Ignited and encouraged by the storming of the Capital, further right-wing aggression is being planned in many parts of the country. The House of Representatives is about to push through a second impeachment of the president. The FBI is searching far and wide for the culprits of January 6 and no doubt will encounter armed resistance in its quest. Expect the upsets and the stress to continue to build through January 15.
Meanwhile, a strong police and national guard response will be increasingly on the scene to counter “Trump’s army” of seditious, violent, rampaging hordes. From January 13 to January 17, we will have transiting Jupiter square to transiting Uranus, and then from January 17 through January 20, we will have transiting Mars square to transiting Uranus. Both of these combinations suggest sudden and powerful events and forceful intensity. It seems likely from this we will witness a lot of violent clashes between Trump’s militias and government forces right though Inauguration Day and perhaps into the following morning. After January 15, it seems quite likely the tide will turn very much toward law enforcement, as the progressed Moon/progressed Saturn begins to wane and the American public begins to feel its strength returning with the dawn of a new administration that actually can be counted upon to serve justice and the people’s needs.
