Did Nostradamus try to warn us about Donald Trump as the “false trumpet”?

By Milky Way Maid

 
Recently I obtained a series of books written by Dolores Cannon, a regression hypnotist who authored several books based on her research. This particular series was about the work she did in contacting Nostradamus to ask him to clarify his famous Centuries, books of quatrains written in Old French that predicted a host of events from his time into the far future.
I am not a newbie to the Nostradamus material, having read a couple of other books whose authors took a stab at interpreting the poems. However, you could call me startled when Volume 1 of the series (printed in 1989) seemed to forecast the advent of a Donald Trump type.

Century I-40 says:
The false trumpet concealing madness will cause Byzantium to change its laws.
From Egypt there will go forth a man who wants the edict withdrawn, changing money and standards.

According to Ms. Cannon's interpretation as channeled from Nostradamus, this refers to powerful leaders who are both religious and political. . . He says that “the false trumpet refers to fundamentalist-type religious men who distort the word of God and use for their own ends. He says that several of these men are striving for political power and they are banding together to help as many of them as possible to attain key posts in the government. A lot of these posts are not necessarily splashy or public. . . .”

The part about changing money refers to new laws in foreign countries that make it harder for Americans to change money when traveling abroad. To quote: “He says these men attaining political power will have repercussions all over the world. It will cause many countries in (eastern Europe and western Asia and the Middle East) the whole area there; leaders in this part of the world will become very alarmed by the development of things. They will start changing their laws in reaction to this, making it more difficult for Americans to travel in that part of the world. Some laws in particular that will be changed will be those having to do with the conversion of American money into other currencies and with trading with the United States. It will have negative repercussions.”

A second quatrain also appears to describe Donald Trump. Century V-75:
He will rise high over his wealth, more to the right, he will remain seated on the square stone;
towards the south placed at the window, a crooked staff in his hand, his mouth sealed.


Ms. Cannon wrote: “He says that this refers to a man in the United States. A man who is very wealthy . . . He says that this man will be well known and famous because of his wealth, but his true mission in life will be secret for this man will be a fanatic of sorts. He will involved with such organizations as the American Nazi Party and the Ku Klux Klan. That's why he put in the phrase, “the crooked staff,” to represent the burning crosses of the Ku Klux Klan and the swastika of the Nazi Party. This man's sole ambition in life is towards the overthrow of the American government as it is presently constituted in the twentieth century. He says this man naturally enough will also be involved in politics.”

His mouth sealed” means that he will act in secret. I am going to step in and say that the reference to rising high refers to the tall towers he has built all over the country; it seems reasonable to also infer that “towards the south” could refer to moving to Washington D.C., which is south of his native New York City. 
 
However, Cannon writes that the phrase “towards the south” means that the open activities he indulges in “and the mayhem he likes to cause” is aimed at the southern part of the country “where such mayhem has been somewhat traditional,” as she puts it. She's being very oblique, shall we say, about referring to the continuing culture of glorifying the slave-owning South, suppressing the black vote, and in general keeping black people in a state of poverty. 
 
Anyway, from our experience to date of Donald Trump in the White House, it seems that the Trumpet is really mere “trumpery” --- which the dictionary defines as 1- Showy but worthless finery; 2- Nonsense, rubbish; and 3- Deception, trickery, or fraud.
Nuff said.

A Quick Glance at DNC Debates for 2019 and a Few of the Candidates

by Milky Way Maid
Soon after the June DNC debates, I took a quick look at Beto O'Rourke's birthchart and the Moon on the night of his appearance because it was said that he did not look impressive at all. Some late-night comedian said he looked like he had not studied for his exam. I thought he just seemed totally uninspired and in a word, dull.

So after looking at his placements, I saw that his natal Moon is in the sign of its exaltation, Taurus. Hmmm, odd he seemed so ill at ease, I thought. Then “Aha!” – he appeared on the first night of the debate, June 26, when the Moon was in Aries. This conflicted with his Sun, Mercury, Pluto and Uranus which are all in Libra!! Oh, what might he have done if he had been scheduled for the following night when the Moon was in Taurus, like his natal Moon!!! It would also have harmonized with natal Mars in Virgo and North Node in Capricorn. But I have no influence on how candidates are assigned different nights for these debates – sniff!

If Beto lands on the second night of the second round of debates (July 31), the transiting Moon in Leo will harmonize with his natal Venus in Leo and all his Libra and Sag placements. 
 
So anyway, then I made myself a paper chart to refer to in future debates. I turned the paper landscape style, and with some of the candidates names on the left and then their birth dates, I filled in little squares with the degree and sign of each of the planets and the North Node. I only did this for a handful of the candidates and I did not attempt to find out the time of birth, because it is still so early in the presidential campaign. 
 
The candidates I selected were: Joe Biden, Elizabeth Warren, Mayor Pete Buttigieg, Beto O'Rourke, Kamala Harris, Mayor de Blasio, Michael Bennet, Steve Bullock, Bernie Sanders, Julian Castro, and Corey Booker. After the top four names from the national polls, I more or less picked the rest at random and on a whim. Feel free to make a reference sheet (Cheat Sheet) for yourself featuring the candidates you are most interested in! 
 
For the record the first pair of debates were on June 26 and 27 in Miami; the Moon was in Aries on the first night and in Taurus on the second night. The second pair will be on July 30 and 31 in Houston; the Moon again will change signs, visiting Cancer on the first night and Leo on the second night. The third debates will be on Sept. 12-13 in Detroit; the Moon will be in Pisces both nights. 
 
It is worth noting that Kamala Harris, who got a big boost from the second night of the June debate, has natal Jupiter in Taurus, the same sign as the transiting Moon. It does make me a bit nervous to think that the fortunes of all these candidates might hinge on the whims of the debate schedulers! 
 
Add to the mix that July 31 is the date of a New Moon at 8 degrees Leo, while Mercury goes direct at 24 degrees Cancer (I am rounding off) that same night!! Another astrologer pointed out that 23 Cancer is the natal placement of the USA Mercury where it rules trade and media. Perhaps we will have some news regarding the effect of the tariffs on American companies and jobs around this time. 
 
Also transiting Eris will be at 24 Aries, where it makes a T-square with transiting Saturn-Pluto in Capricorn and that Stationary Direct Mercury in Cancer. Eris is discord, and may indicate more protests and fighting over current events and government policies on any number of possible issues. Also it's possible the stock market might wobble.
It is likely that any of the candidates who have natal planets anywhere from 20 to 26 degrees in Cardinal signs will feel the effects of this T-square, and likely to do so no matter which night they appear. So, taking a quickie scan through my homemade chart, I see some hits to Joe Biden, Sen. Warren, Mayor Pete, Beto, Sen. Harris, Gov. Bullock, Sen. Sanders, Julian Castro, and maybe just maybe Corey Booker whose natal Saturn is at 29 Aries. 
 
It seems to me that Mayor Pete will be particularly hard hit in this July debate. His natal Saturn is at 22 Libra, natal Pluto at 27 Libra, and his North Node at 22 Cancer. Without knowing what night he will appear, I can venture no guess whether the result will be positive or negative for public reaction. 
 
I think it is possible that Sen. Harris, Sen. Sanders and Gov. Bullock will get involved in some er, “brisk discussion” as it is politely called in political situations. Kamala's Sun is at 27 Libra and her Moon somewhere around 20 Aries. Bernie's Moon is around 20 Aries, his Venus at 22 Libra, and his Mars at 23 Aries. Gov. Bullock's Sun is at 21 Aries AND his Mars at 25 Aries. So I frankly expect one of those “food fight” moments they tried so hard to avoid on the first go-round. 
 
PLEASE NOTE: Some of the candidates were born on a day when the Moon changed signs, so I am not sure yet which sign to put their natal Moons in. Those candidates are (from my list anyway): Joe Biden, Mayor Pete, Mayor de Blasio, Sen. Bennet, and Julian Castro. I will try to find out a more exact time of birth in the coming weeks, hopefully before the September debates.
Meanwhile I hope you enjoyed this article and will tune in to the debates. Please promise me that you will vote in 2020!!

AOC, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez: Just the Beginning of a Notable Political Career

by Milky Way Maid
The junior Congresswoman from New York is getting a great deal of press – and now even on the astrological websites! I have been astonished at how she attracts more interest than any other new Congressional representative or senator ever – excepting probably the charismatic young JFK when he won his Senate seat.
ALEXANDRIA OCASIO-CORTEZ
born Friday Oct 13, 1989, New York, NY TIME 11:50 am
ASC= 15 SAG MC= 6 LIBRA
SUN= 20.lib MOON= 3.ari MERC= 3.LIB VE= 5.sag MARS= 15.lib JUP= 10.can
SAT= 8.cap UR= 1.cap NEP= 9.cap PL= 14.scorp NN=24.aqu.21'
One of the BIG drivers of her campaign run was her first Saturn return. AOC beat her Republican opponent on November 6, 2018, smack in the middle of the exact return. Her natal Saturn is at 5 degrees of Capricorn, and Saturn was at 5 degrees of Capricorn from November 2–13, 2018. So obviously she had decided to use the Saturn energy to accept more responsibility, duty, and hard work with long hours.
Another key transit, in my opinion, was Jupiter rolling through her Ascendant, Sagittarius. Nothing can be luckier for a Sag rising than to have its ruler, the luckiest planet of them all, putting a big smile on your face to the world.
Let's not forget the impact of Uranus entering Taurus and setting up a trine to her natal Uranus in Capricorn! Uranus is usually described in terms of unreliability or oddness, but in this case the quality of uniqueness best describes her appeal to many segments of her Brooklyn constituency as well as her ready wit when someone tries to take her down a notch for a tape of her dancing. Uranus also rules lucky breaks, which is also a great help when taking on an established incumbent.
I say she is at the beginning of her political career because before you know it, favorable outer planet placements and the nodes will recharge her booster rockets. Her earth-sign Saturn-Uranus-Neptune stellium will benefit from the Saturn-Jupiter conjunction in Taurus in late 2020 which signifies the keynote for the next 20 years. After 2028, transiting Uranus in Gemini will start trining her natal Sun and Mars in Libra. Later transiting North Node will move into Sagittarius and contact her natal Ascendant and Venus.
So I am not too worried that the current criticism from the far right will cut her political career short. If anything, she will just fire back while keeping her eyes on the issues and goals that motivate her most.
