from Ray Merriman's latest report: Biden-Trump fiasco and a measured astro Prediction -
"I am going to veer off markets a bit this week (hey, it’s my column) because of what is happening politically in the U.S., and I am inundated with so many questions from readers about this situation. The first two quotes above are just another example of how these columns report — forecast — news items and important movements in human activity before they happen. It is a common occurrence that insights originating in these columns via our knowledge of cosmic messaging are later “discovered” by others as if they came up with the idea. Unfortunately, anything that originates in the profession of astrology is seldom cited as an original source because... it is astrology. Astrology’s value to society is a missed opportunity by society to support studies and research into this remarkable subject, for as it has proven time and time again, it can be a great aid in the crucial function of “planning,” whether on a local, national, or global level. I write this because I understand—as all professional astrologers do—what it is like to feel “victimized,” as if the system is “rigged” against you for what you believe to be the truth. It also doesn’t matter what you think or feel about the matter. What matters is what you know and what you do about it—how you act. Do you “give up?” Do you whine and complain? Do you throw a tantrum that puts the careers and well-being of others in your circle (or party) in jeopardy? Or do you work to correct the injustice, the discrimination, by serving as a model of someone secure in who they are and what they do by constantly providing excellence in service, behaving ethically and honestly, and disseminating truths regarding who you are and what you do via original studies and open reporting of your discoveries? Your behavior is a choice. And you are accountable for the consequences of those choices. If you don’t like the consequences of those choices, it will do you no good to complain, whine, or have a tantrum. It won’t change the result, and it will likely harm you further down the road."
Trump's "victimization" in his head:
"The sense of “victimization” belongs to the realm of Neptune. Under a Neptune transit, one is often the victim of falsehoods, rumors, allegations that cannot be proven and may only be the result of misunderstandings if we would just ask questions rather thus hurling wild accusations. Or one may be the perpetrator of the same, making others victim of his/her allegations that cannot be proven and can be harmful to the well-being of others, even those one claims to be serving. The most frequent questions I have been asked these last two weeks have all have had to do with President Trump’s behavior, his refusal to accept the election results. Instead, he asserts the election was rigged, despite the fact that “Federal security officials have said the election was ‘the most secure election in U.S. history’” (Deanna Paul, “Giuliani Claims Fraud Conspiracy,” Wall Street Journal, November 20, 2020).
So, let me answer here, in this column, those questions I am being asked, for all readers to know how I view these events through the lens of astrology as I understand the language.
“Do you think Trump will end up overturning the election?” No.“Do you think he will continue his control over the Republican Party?” No. Not anymore. I believe it is over for him.“Are you a Democrat?” No. “Are you a Republican?” No. “Are you biased?” Everyone is. It is unavoidable. And in the end, it doesn’t matter. What matters is how everyone adjusts to reality. And that is where the problem comes in with transiting Neptune because Neptune doesn’t know or doesn’t want to accept what reality is saying. Neptune is nowmaking a very challenging T-square to President Trump’s natal Sun/Uranus opposite Moon. As stated in this column recently and in the last two Forecast Books, this would be a period where the President will find it very difficult to see things as they really are. He will be challenged to keep himself connected to reality. And the reality is not pleasant (he probably loses after all the recounts are completed, or I will be very surprised). Why? Because at this same time, Pluto is in opposition to his natal Venus/Saturn. Under Pluto’s transits, no one escapes unscathed. In opposition to Saturn, one’s duties — one’s role — are often terminated. His duties, as President, are likely to be terminated, regardless of how much he resists. “Will he have to be removed forcibly from the White House?” With Pluto, it is possible.“Will he attempt to stage a coup and take over the government?” If this were not the United States, I would think that is possible too. He may try. But given the transits of Neptune and Pluto to his natal Planets, plus progressed ascendant moving from Libra into Scorpio, I think it is more likely he will be removed than successfully conduct a takeover. But with Neptune rising, that doesn’t mean the idea isn’t floating around somewhere in his mind.....
REF: Pluto Neptune
“Is there a way for him to get through this?” Yes, of course. Pluto requires a surrender to the inevitable, something that is currently not in Trump’s playbook. Once one recognizes that a change has taken place and it necessary to let it go and rebuild—Pluto is appeased. One is reborn, and success can be greater than ever on a different path. Until then, the vise just keeps getting tighter and tighter.And finally, “Do you think the election was rigged? Did cheating occurred in this election?” Well, the same Neptune transit is also making a T-square to the U.S. natal Mars/Neptune square. Cheating and fraud come under the auspices of Neptune. Whether the owner of the chart is being cheated or is the one enacting the fraud, is always the question. Neptune is usually more accusatory than able to provide hard, convincing evidence to support their allegations. So, the answer is—I don’t know. It’s possible. But I don’t think the result will change President Trump’s current status. He is a lame and wounded duck. And I wish him a speedy healing and personal transformation that Pluto requires in order to get on with his life
will be removed than successfully conduct a takeover. But with Neptune rising, that doesn’t mean the idea isn’t floating around somewhere in his mind.....
