April 2025: Snorts of Concern from The Bull of Wall Street
by Jude Cowell, partisan for the common good
There was no dire crisis on Inauguration Day 2025 - other than the second presidency of an insurrectionist. That was and is the crisis we now face blended with an existential crisis for survival by a dark wizard from a far away land. The following post attempts to sort out some of the conditions that these two sinister saboteurs have forced upon our country for selfish purposes by utilizing the lens of Astrology as best I can.
On May 11, 1869, the very day of a New Moon @20Tau57 surrounded by Venus and Pluto, the Reorganization of the NYSE occurred giving astrologers another horoscope for the financial entity besides the
Buttonwood Agreement Horoscope of May 17, 1792 in which we find a bubbly Jupiter-Neptune Conjunction of gambling and speculation. So we know that bubbles and bursts are baked in from the earliest days. Personally, I would say that it's a tactic used by Wall Street gentry, not that we need Astrology to tell us this.

Autocracy 2025/Venus-Pluto: Organized Crime; Break Down of the Social Fabric
As you know, the Orange Tariff Whisperer announced his risky regime of tariffs on April 2, 2025 from the White House Rose Garden, and as everyone knows, markets have reacted wildly ever since to his trade war. You've read, seen, or experienced the crisis-laden conditions so there's no need to repeat them in this brief post.
Instead, let's consider a bit of Astrology.
Curiously, the "fork in the road," an existential crisis sci-fi fantasy is promoted by the Space-mad fellow, based on cold war-era concepts, and has inspired a sculpture he commissioned in December 2024 for Tesla HQ. The phrase also describes a YOD pattern such as the one in the 1869 Reorganization Horoscope pointing toward karmic Saturn.
And if we allowed the Ascendant with Atlantis rising in the Tariffs Horoscope, there's a YOD pattern there as well - with the Neptune-Pluto sextile at its base and the planetary duo a symbol of Organized Crime, Drug Use and Trafficking, the Occult, Mysticism, Obsessions, Subterfuge, and/or Loss.
Now the fact that a YOD is in the 1869 chart emphasizes the fated nature of the pattern's imperative (YODs always involve timing issues - and preparing for a special task and a karmic opportunity) so manager planet Saturn has now stepped from the shadows, so to speak, to take control of our nation's economy, as we've seen. And he has a
a mission to restrict and sabotage our lives because Elon's is a dark vision leading to a "Dead End". As we've discussed previously, Pluto @3AQ34 represents Elon and his DOGE "tech bros" leading a BOWL shape of planets in the Tariffs chart.

Please note that the astro-notes penned on the image are incomplete so as always, you'll spy other factors of interest.
However, it's revealing in the Tariffs chart that sinking Atlantis rises while sun god Apollo (often a symbol of Herr T - the asteroid rises in his chart with his Mars but here sits upon his natal Descendant along with the Saturn-Pluto midpoint @29Aquarius - he and Elon bringing hardship and cruelty) opposes. Then I'd have to say that Atlantis rising shows the motive of his trade war - to sabotage America and the global economy, and to purge the American people from our country a la the Project 2025 agenda of depopulation.
The Elon from South Africa
Let's read the 1869 YOD's trio of planets with apex Saturn (also the handle of a Bucket pattern: he's the director) as a midpoint picture between Uranus-Pluto = Saturn: "exposure to extreme pressure from others; self-will; egosim; hatred (R. Ebertin); persisting despite obstacles on the path toward reform (M. Munkasey); tendency toward autocratic leadership; "my way is the best way"; pressure from others; toppled from position" (N. Tyl.)
And of course, karmic Saturn in Jupiter-ruled Sagittarius adds a double dose of karma and suggests a religious flavor and/or immigrants to our country such as bankers from Germany who were involved with the stock exchange from the start - and those who were involved with forming the Federal Reserve System of banks - operatives and agents such as Paul Warburg. And now an immigrant from South Africa.
Meanwhile, In the News: Wall Street Expects The Fed to Rescue the Economy From Trump Tariffs. Well! Then has a little coordination between the players been going on?
Then in a flurry of cosmic synchronicity, the 1869 New Moon @20Taurus
was activated on May 10, 2013 by a 15 South Solar Eclipse @20Taurus with themes of: release of tension; a lingering situation suddenly clears but with a collective sense of grief and/or loss (paraphrasing B. Brady). Therefore, events of 2013 may be of interest including a huge financial bailout by the European Union coming to the rescue of Cyprus, one of the world's more amenable tax sheltering locations.
