I think everyone can agree that this is a huge moment in U.S. history. But why?
I take a quick look at the U.S. natal chart, Trump’s natal chart, and current transits.
There’s all sorts of interesting aspects during and around this July 4th holiday, but let’s pick one.
Here’s the one I pick: JUPITER!

It just so happens that the current transit of expansive, generous, lucky Jupiter, currently at 5° Cancer, is today and tomorrow conjuncting itself, for a Jupiter return to the U.S. chart, an occasion which loops around every twelve years.
The natal U.S. chart has four planets in Cancer, including Venus, Jupiter, Sun and Mercury; in other words, this stellium dominates the U.S. chart. We love our homeland; we are our homeland.

So, to repeat: transit Jupiter, which entered Cancer on June 10th, has already crossed over the U.S. Venus at 3° Cancer, and is currently conjuncting itself at 5° Cancer (happens every twelve years, the Jupiter return). Furthermore, transit Jupiter is on its way to conjuncting the U.S. 13° Cancer Sun (August) and the 24° Cancer Mercury (October, November) and, for a final time this 12-year round, late May through early June 2026.
For all this time, Jupiterian expansion, generosity, faith, growth, optimism, luck, high ideals pervade the ethers.
And remember, Jupiter is exalted in the sign of Cancer. So Jupiter’s position natally in Cancer expands the generous, protective, nurturing home-loving qualities of Cancer.
No wonder the Trumpian motto; MAGA: Make America Great Again!
So it may not be surprising to realize that Trump’s natal chart encourages, communicates, reflects and enhances this Jupiterian passage. His natal Mercury at 8° Cancer squares his Neptune at 5° Libra. Which means that this same transit of Jupiter that is so affecting the U.S. chart is now squaring Trumps Neptune and about to conjunct his Mercury.
Trump serves as the visionary, idealistic mouthpiece for the U.S. of A.

So Happy July 4th everybody.
Happen Independence Day to the United States of America.

On July 7, the planet Uranus, which denotes sudden, ereuptive, irreversible change, moves from Taurus into Gemini. Uranus has an 84 year cycle, which means 7 years for each of the 12 signs.
We are about to enter an ultra-intense period of rapidly accelerating change.
Uranus is the final outer planet to make its advent into its new sign. Since late November 1924, when Pluto entered airy future-oriented Aquarius from antiquated fuddy-duddy Capricorn, the acceleration has been nonstop.
Dreamy Neptune moved from wishy-washy, watery Pisces to fiery ignition of Aries at the end March 2025.
Two months later, at the end of May, Neptune was joined in Aries by stern, disciplined, ordered Saturn, to either help channel the Neptunian spirit and/or attempt to wall if off, shut it down.
And the latest: Jupiter, which moved from airy Gemini into watery, home-loving, family-oriented Cancer, on June 10, 2025.
Of the above four signs, notice that three of them, Pluto, Neptune, and Saturn, are all now in either air or fire signs.
And soon, with eruptive Uranus joining them, leaving behind earthy Taurus, the total will be all four of the outermost planets in either air or fire.
Please note that the very year Uranus began its residence in Taurus 2019, the covid con developed, with Event 201 in October of that year rehearsing “pandemic preparedness.”
During the seven years of its journey through Taurus we were forced to pay attention to our own bodies and their health or lack of it. Vaccines, symptoms, on and on; the list is long. Our bodies scared us with their eruptive qualities; our bodies were labeled disease vectors, and we were encouraged to stay away from other people, stay home. Be afraid. Yuck. I personally, found myself utterly contemptuous of this global psyop rollout, and how it changed material conditions everywhere, forcing small businesses to close, schools and businesses to shift to remote, on and on. I’m frankly, so “sick of it,” that I don’t want to list the gobs of other disruptions 0f which, by the end, most of us were at least subliminally aware.
So: what will Uranus shift into Gemini bring?
It will bring the complete colonization of the left brain in each of us. Insofar as we identify with our left brains, it will obliterate our individuality, and turn us into cogs, bots, nodes, in a gigantic A.I. machine.
(I wonder: did I refer to his post before? Possible.)

Excerpt:
We’re witnessing the systematic elimination of the conditions that make human consciousness possible: privacy, anonymity, economic independence, cognitive friction, the space between stimulus and response where choice lives. When AI systems can predict your needs before you feel them, when your survival depends on biometric identification, when your thoughts are shaped by algorithmically curated information, when your income is distributed by the same systems monitoring your compliance, what remains that could still be called distinctly human?
Actually, Stylman points to what does remain in the postscript to his extensive, tour-de-force piece (in which however, the author assumes AI can and will become conscious, aware — an assumption which, thanks to Clif High, I do NOT hold).

In other words, the right brain, with its spacious presence, linking to the heart inside the body; the heart which, as Blaise Pascal pointed out, “has its reasons of which reason knows nothing,” is key to not only our survival as truly human beings, but to our capacity to magnify awareness to infinity.
Right brain linked to heart which, in turn, is but one drop in a vast incomprehensible etheric realm, the invisible source that fills and fuels the universe
— with no boundaries;
— therefore the center is everywhere —
— therefore the center is YOU!
REJOICE!
Stay present, Ann, during this Uranian entrance into Gemini, the sign Uranus occupied at my birth. In fact, as Uranus enters Gemini, it also conjuncts my natal Uranus (1°46 Gemini) for the first time in my already ultra-long life and opposes natal Mars at 2° Sagittarius.
By the time Uranus has completed its roll through Gemini, it will also have conjuncted my natal Saturn (7° Gemini) and opposed my 21° Sagittarian Ascendant and 27° Sagittarian Sun.
Lift-off is inevitable. So, when needed, Ann, place your feet reverently on bare ground; embrace the spacious silent presence of trees. Remember, and appreciate, and utilize for the common good, your steady, grounded Taurus Moon.
”And you? My teacher looked up, his left eyebrow arched, pencil poised. 'I want to do a paper on the concept of time.’” I mumbled, timidly. 'Time?' He sniffed. “I wouldn’t touch the subject. Too difficult.” — AK, 1967
