mutualreceptionHRH Prince Philip died a few weeks after the period where JMG had made a prediction of a death in the UK Royal Family, which is a matter I intend to write a post on in due course. In the meanwhile, I note that he died in office so to speak as the Queen Consort. That is pretty much standard for the UK these days. Being a monarch or consort is a job until the natural end of life and so with only a few exceptions since the beginning of the Tudor period most of them have died in that state.
This is in distinct contrast to the US. Although it’s not much remarked upon, of the 46 presidents we have seen so far, eight have died in office. At about 17% it is actually quite a dangerous job.
The situation becomes even more interesting when you look at when they were elected:
William Henry Harrison (9) elected 1840. Natural causes.
Zachary Taylor (12) elected 1848. Natural causes.
Abraham Lincoln (16) elected 1860, 1864. Assassination.
James A. Garfield (20) elected 1880. Assassination.
William McKinley (25) elected 1900. Assassination.
Warren G. Harding (29) elected 1920. Natural causes.
Franklin D. Roosevelt (32) elected three times - 1932, 1936, 1940. Natural causes.
John F. Kennedy (35) elected 1960. Assassination.
Every twenty years since 1840, any president elected that year died in office, usually but not always in that term. Furthermore with the exception of Zachary Taylor, only presidents elected in that 20 year cycle died in office.
The pattern apparently ended with Ronald Reagan elected 1980. However it’s worth noting that Reagan himself was the victim of an attack in 1981 that very nearly proved fatal. Wikipedia reports that he was close to death when he arrived at George Washington University Hospital. Prompt action there saved him and he is notable as the first US president to survive an assassination attempt.
George W. Bush completely evaded the pattern as did Thomas Jefferson (elected 1800), and James Monroe (elected 1820). The pattern is far from certain and it’s not at all clear that it could be called astrological in any sense beyond the fact that there is a cyclical nature to it.
Which brings me to the inauguration chart, 20th January 2021 for the 2020 election of Joe Biden. JMG has published a long commentry on this one which he described as “relentlessly malefic” at https://www.subscribestar.com/posts/222892 (this is public I think).
More recently he’s mentioned that timing of events can sometimes be worked out for looking when a new Moon (a Moon in conjunction with the Sun) is opposite, square, or conjunct important parts of another chart.
On the 28th July 2022 the new moon will be at Leo 5 degrees 38 minutes. This puts it in opposition to the Sun, Saturn, and Jupiter from the original inauguration chart. It also put it square to Mars and Uranus in the original inauguration chart.
Here’s the blended chart, the original inauguration chart with an additional moon in red in Leo.
What can we make of this if anything? The new moon is in the angular 4th house with Cancer on the cusp so it rules here, but peregrine and seriously afflicted. H. S. Green says that such a situation suggests the people may suffer and be discontented. Troublesome questions from the affairs of this house (agriculture, mining, the political opposition) may disturb the nation. Raphael is equally discouraging talking about food shortages, resource extraction issues and is “very evil for matters signified by the 4th house."
The new moon is square to its position in the inauguration chart which is odd and my immediate guess is that this represents some kind of conflict amongst the establishment.
I’m going to end this post by reminding everyone that this is written from the perspective of a rank beginner, and I’m certainly not sure of anything beyond the fact that I will be watching the US news extremely carefully next July. In the meanwhile I plan to carefully examine the standard chart for the 28th July 2022 and see if anything springs out.

Date: 2021-05-02 04:48 pm (UTC)Columnist Jeff Greenfield wrote a book I found at my Public Library and you may too, called Then Everything Changed: Stunning Alternate Histories of American Politics: JFK, RFK, Carter, Ford, Reagan He really did his homework: In 1960, a whacko decided to save the Republic from having a Roman Catholic President, and stalked the President-Elect with eight sticks of dynamite in his car. A minor turn of events is all that stopped him - but what if it hadn’t? No “Camelot,” no Peace Corps, LBJ dealing with Cuba very differently…
In 1968, Bobby Kennedy’s campaign manager chose not to bother going back downstairs. If he’d put his shoes back on and gone down, and been there to tackle Sirhan Sirhan… 1968 Chicago (and the Moon landing the next year) might have been very different… It was a fascinating book.
