Again, SUPERB insights. And when you add in Venus Retrograde—Venus being in the country’s 4th house of foundations—the American people are definitely looking at a revaluation of their country’s assets and actions. (I am American, so I speak firsthand on this!) I’m guessing actions taken by leadership (Aries) will be under intense review. Plus, Mercury (the ruler of the eclipse) stations retrograde in Aries as well!!

Thank you! Good point about Aries and leadership. I was thinking about Mercury and Venus too after finishing the post, the retrogrades could also speak of the flow of information and resources. It's great to have you and others from America commenting as I am still getting my head around the finer details of your political system and how things look on the ground.

I’m no fan of astrology but impoundment makes sense. Democrats should do it on their own by tanking the budget bill and refusing to fund a continuing resolution.

Hi Martin. Thanks for commenting, even you're no fan of astrology. It isn't for everyone, but I'm glad you still found something useful in the post.

My understanding is that congress expressly made impoundment illegal a long time ago.

Hi Anthony! I know, but apparently Trump has said that he doesn't "believe" in the 1974 law. His track record for respecting laws and institutions hasn't been great so far, so who knows. It might come down to if the courts stop him or not, in case he tries to do this. My info around this is taken from here https://www.pbs.org/newshour/politics/what-you-need-to-know-about-impoundment-and-how-trump-vows-to-use-it. Happy to be corrected if I'm wrong.
