An astrological perspective on a possible Civil War in the United States

As you may know, the so-called transcendental planets (Uranus, Neptune, and Pluto) play a major part in Mundane Astrology. Every single variation of theirs, every new aspect they form, and notably their eventual sign shift, may provide us with crucial information about humanity's future course. 

There is, however, another important but lesser-known feature of the transcendental planets: the "resonance" of their orbits. I've been researching that feature for some years now and I firmly believe it's a quite useful element in the "mundane astrology" toolkit. 

Take for example the Uranus-Neptune 2:1 "planetary resonance" and its mundane consequences (the 2:1 ratio meaning that Uranus completes two revolutions around the Sun in approx. the time it takes Neptune to complete one). That's actually an astrological "yardstick", which is around 165-year long.

Let me show you how we can use this cosmic yardstick. Let's take a random year as our point of reference. If we go approximately 165 years back or forward from that given year we will "miraculously" discover (in most cases) that the planets Uranus and Neptune will be located in the very same signs as in our reference year! 

This means that this Uranus-Neptune yardstick is "secretly" correlating periods in time that otherwise appear totally unrelated to one another. That's a quite powerful astological tool and thanks to it I was able to successfully predict i.e. the 2022 Ukraine war, which began with Uranus in Taurus and Neptune in Pisces - the exact same signs these two transcedental planets were in back in 1853, when Russia and the Western powers clashed in the Crimea! 

For years now, I have been presenting  the outcomes of my research on several Facebook mundane astrology groups, explaining that if we apply that same "resonance" (the approximately 165-year "yardstick") to the history of the United States, we are going to find that in 2025, Uranus and Neptune will be in the exact same signs they were in in 1861, when the Civil War broke out in the United States (Neptune in the highly anaretic very last degree - and almost very last minute - of Pisces and Uranus in Gemini, exactly as they were on April 12, 1861!) It is worth noting that just two days after the civil war began, Neptune entered the sign of Aries, where it remained for the most of the conflict. 

Therefore, the heavens are informing us that we are about to experience the very same Urano-Neptunian vibrations quite soon. But are those vibrations critical enough to reignite a civil war in the United States? Is the idea valid, or are we arbitrarily tying here the year 2025 to the fatal year 1861?  

Let us put this theory to the test! We take the same "yardstick" and this time we move back 165 years (approx.) from the outbreak of the civil war, around the year 1697 that is. Uranus was once more in Gemini that year, and Neptune had reached the very last degree of Pisces, set to pass in Aries. However, there was no such thing as the "United States" back then! Nor there was any other major civil war in the world by the end of the 17th century. 

So, let's go back to basics and look at the eventual astrological similarities between the years 1861 and 2025 - with reference to the USA's national horoscope, of course. Our initial premise was to locate a date in the near future when Neptune would be in the final degree of Pisces - or in the sign of Aries - and Uranus would be in Gemini. As it turns out though, the time range that meets that premise is eight whole years, from 2025 to 2033. Why am I specifically mentioning 2025 as a possible year for the onset of a second civil war in the United States? Well, take a look first at the two charts below. 

The "Tri-Wheel" chart you see directly below is set for the outbreak of the 1861 Civil War (on April 12th). The innermost wheel is the USA National Horoscope, the middle one is the "Progressed" USA horoscope for 1861, while the outermost wheel depicts the "Transits" of the planets for that fateful day.   

Because we are discussing a civil war, we must pay special attention to the Fourth House of the United States' national horoscope. The Fourth House represents in Mundane Astrology the people of a country, its common citizens and the nature and character of their relationships with one another. Thus, when we study a civil war astrologically, that "cardinal" House becomes particularly significant! 

Coming down now to the United States' Fourth House, it personally impresses me that its cusp is positioned at the 2nd degree of the bellicose sign of Aries (is this why Americans are world champs in gun ownership?)  

The sign of Aries was dominant on the day of the Civil War's outbreak (how appropriate!) Not just because the Sun and Venus were transiting through Aries. The USA's "Progressed" Moon was in Aries as well! A lot of "ariettid" energy in the United States' Fourth House back then!  

Not to mention transiting Neptune, which may end up being the name of the game in our case. As previously stated, transiting Neptune was at the very last degree of Pisces at the time. It was already conjuncting the cusp of the United States' Fourth House and was about to pass in that House for good. 

But that isn't the only thing Neptune has to give in this study. It was also conjuncting the USA's "Progressed" Moon in Aries. And this is significant because it creates a very powerful "double-whammy" configuration (transiting Neptune affecting with its "dissolving" energies both the USA's Fourth House and its "Progressed" Moon - the significators of the American people, that is)! 

The astonishing coincidence currently is that the identical setup will be duplicated in 2025, as shown in the chart you see on the right (erected for a somehow random date in 2025)! Transiting Neptune will be Conjuncting the cusp of the USA's Fourth House, as well as the USA's "Progressed" Moon, which will be again in Aries! And of course transiting Uranus will be in Gemini, conjuncting once more the USA's natal Uranus. 

 

Another interesting fact is that for nearly a century, beginning in 1918, the United States had never seen a Solar Eclipse crossing with its path the entire country (in any direction, i.e. from west to south or east, from south to nord etc.) And then, from 2017 onwards, the paths of three whole solar eclipses begin to cross the United States, all the way through! I am talking of the 2017 and 2023 eclipses, as well as the upcoming April 8th, 2024 eclipse, which will be crossing the Unites States from South to North, beginning - from all places - in Texas! 

Other elements and configurations could be investigated here, as I concentrated on the most important and least discussed ones. It would be fascinating to see in the comments what other people think.

Pluto in Aquarius: the dictatorship of the "commonness" and of the "abnormal" - And your money don't belong to you!

The majority of astrologers considers Pluto's upcoming entrance into the sign of Aquarius as a "positive thing". Probably because they tend to link the sign of Aquarius with an impending "golden age"! As a result, they mostly make optimistic predictions like "a new brighter era will dawn," "the common people will rebel against their autocratic rulers" and so on.

What those astrologers overlook is the fact that the "Pluto in Aquarius" "equation" has two coefficients: Aquarius AND Pluto! So, on the one hand Pluto is (somehow) "activating" the sign of Aquarius alright, but on the other hand it is simultaneously attempting to impose its "tenebrious vibrations" on the sign of Aquarius! That's crucial and unless we take that aspect into consideration, we will not be able to interpret Pluto in Aquarius correctly.

You see, Aquarius represents the "ultimate archetype of freedom"! Left on its own devices the sign of Aquarius is incessantly working for the freedom and self-determination of the common people (and of course planet Uranus is doing something analogous, equally contributing to human liberty).

The presence of Pluto, however, in the “sign of urns” will significantly "hinder" that Aquarian attribute! You see, Pluto favors the "compulsive unification" of people, over their "individuation" and "self-determination"! Hence, in the years to come, a "dictatorship of commonality" might start ruling our planet, and those who are deemed "privileged" or not common enough may be stigmatized and "castigated"!

Surprisingly, a similar "zeigeist" was in effect during the previous time that planet Pluto was in Aquarius, at the end of the 18th century. What was the major historical event back then? The French Revolution of 1789! A revolution that took place with Pluto in Aquarius and Saturn in Pisces! Does this ring a bell to you? The "harsh" planets Pluto and Saturn will be in the very same zodiacal positions from March 23, 2023 onwards! 

The 1789 revolution was followed by the infamous "Reign of Terror" (during 1793-94, with Pluto in Aquarius opposed by Uranus in Leo - that's actually a "double-whammy" configuration, a quite potent one). Tens of thousands of (often innocent) French citizens were deemed, by fast-track trials, "enemies of the State" and were executed at the famous "Guillotine"!

Thus, if you were socially "privileged" and not "commoner" enough, that was one of the worst times in history to live in France! Do you see Pluto in Aquarius at its wildest here? And can you guess how wild the "stygian" Pluto in "loco" Aquarius will get in the years to come?

                                            The dictatorship of the "abnormal"!

Another dictatorship that Pluto in Aquarius can forcefully impose on us is that of the "abnormal"! Types of persons and events that were previously regarded odd and even weird will be promoted as the "norm" (for example, men declaring that they believe they are women).

Many people today may find it strange for a (previously) male colonel (such as American Jennifer Pritzker) to lead his soldiers while dressed in a skirt and makeup. However, this will be relatively normal in the near future.

But there is a paradox here! The transgender movement is not "grassroots"! It appears to have spread "from top to bottom". That is, it was conceived, funded, and supported by wealthy Americans such as Jennifer Pritzker. This contradicts the whole essence of the "peripheral" sign of Aquarius! However, it is very much in sync with the "Pluto in Aquarius" spirit.

                                              Not owing any of your own money!

Let me give you an example of how that "dictatοrship of commonality" that I described above might affect our money. Soon all money will be digital. Bills and coins will be redrawn by the state and will thus vanish! Only digital money transactions will be allowed.

You might think that that's a rather convenient thing. No more dirty and perishable paper banknotes in our hands! Well, think again because there is as well a quite dark "Pluto in Aquarius" side to it!

With all money being digital, the State will have the absolute control of it! Meaning that the State's long hand will constantly be in your pocket (or digital bank account). If some day the State decides that - due to some imminent crisis - the food, the gasoline etc. should be rationed and every citizen should receive an equal portion of food, gasoline etc (no matter how much money s/he has) then you will see Pluto in Aquarius in its best! 

You see, if you don't have much money Pluto in Aquarius will somehow work to your advantage. It will mainly hurt people who have enough to a lot of money, because under a digital rationing regime their fortune will be somehow blocked and "castigated", making them feel as if it were worthless - if it cannot abundantly provide them what they want! This is an unprecedented situation that has never occurred again in our societies, in the last few centuries.

If we have ever dreamed of a society with fewer money inequalities, or the "democratization of money," Pluto in Aquarius will bring us as close to that vision as possible! The dark aspect though of Pluto in Aquarius is that the state will be able to easily cut off the flow of money (in the interest of the "greater good") at any given moment. Capital controls on our money will be easily implemented. "Money driven lockdowns" as well, in which each citizen will be allowed to receive and spend money i.e. only within a certain range of his/her home .

All in all, Pluto in Aquarius will definitely regulate, to a considerable extent, the "money inequalities" (and all kinds of inequalities) that currently exist in our societies. On the other hand, it may deprive individuals of many liberties (and that will in fact be the effect of the totalitarian side of Pluto over the sign of Aquarius - the "vessel" of absolute freedom)! Freedom will be worth dying for!
