I am astounded by the amount of work you have put into this post. For myself, I’ve been at sea with all that’s been going on between the Supreme Court decisions and the January sixth hearings. I’m still hoping for a blue wave as I can’t believe the country could ever come back from another extreme right presidency. Trump, I believe is done, but not the harm his presidency has caused us. We can’t afford a DeSantis presidency, so I hope what has just happened spurs the masses to vote like our lives depend on it.

How does the eclipse that takes place on Election Day this year play into things?

On November 8th, 2022, when the Sun in Scorpio is opposite a Full Moon in Taurus and Midterm Elections are underway in the US, a total lunar eclipse will occur at 16 degrees. Part of who and how it affects things depends on the natal charts of people who are running for office. Those with fixed signs (Taurus, Leo, Scorpio, Aquarius) at 11 to 21 degrees could feel this eclipse more prominently. Eclipses bring change, and with Scorpio and Taurus, the shift could be related to war, the environment, and the economy. Expect a shocking revelation. And you're right, voting will be very important. I think you're correct about Trump's continued influence that is not going away, and also that DeSantis would be disastrous for democracy, especially as he would be completely willing to dismantle it. I will post a card reading on Midterms for 2022. There are also more details on the astrology for US Midterms 2022 on Jessica Adams' blog: https://www.jessicaadams.com/2022/05/05/blog/us-midterms-2022-astrology-prediction/

Please excuse the typos. For instance, of course that is meant to say "Reagan". I need to catch up on some schoolwork this month so I didn't have as much time to edit this article as I would have liked. Thanks for your patience, and for taking the time to read this post.

The Justices which over turned Roe v Wade were all Catholic, and put into place by someone called Leonard Leo who rumor has it is part of Opus Dei, but is a Knight of Malta, as well as ran The Federalist Society. The USA had a plural of religions, including Anglican in Virginia. Puritanism was a New England phenomenon.

That's a good point. Catholicism is something I'll address in another post. I ran out of room for it in this one. Catholic Church treatment of First Nations in Canadian residential schools, forced births in Ireland, child abuse, the Spanish Inquisition...there is a history of human rights abuses that the Catholic Church needs to address. Part of the issue in the US government is about money, and those who were installed are ones who can be compromised. I'm suspicious of the motives of supreme court justices installed by Trump: https://www.brennancenter.org/our-work/analysis-opinion/supreme-courts-looming-dark-money-decision As for Puritans, you're right, the religious practise was limited. However, part of their theory influenced other religions, including American evangelical Protestants: "...central themes recur in the related religious communities of Quakers, Baptists, Presbyterians, Methodists and a whole range of evangelical Protestants".* In today's article, I focused on fundamentalist US Christians but I'm glad you brought this up because I would like to explore other religions in future articles. *https://www.history.com/topics/colonial-america/puritanism

Thank you Kyra. You should take a look at Greg Olear over at Prevail, and Church and State, and what he has said about Leonard Leo.

13/ For non-profits, these entities sure do rake in the cash. Leo’s association with Mercer and Bannon has been a veritable gold mine. Between 2014-17, they collected A QUARTER OF A BILLION DOLLARS in dark money donations—an almost unfathomable pile of cash.

He remains in the shadows, and he has pulled the strings to orchestrate much of this.

I will read up on the Brennan Center, thanks for the link.
