Insurgence 2021 - the Aquarian Factor in context- past Present and Future
 |
| Jan 6 2021 a snapshot 2.30pm at Capitol Hill: Aquarius at the midheaven Jupiter and Saturn in Aquarius most elevated |
Following unprecedented events at Capitol Hill Washington DC USA on January 6 2021 understanding where America is at in January 2021 requires a long look at history -but even a panorama taken of key points in the 20th century provide relevant clues to the astrological patterns underlying insurrection and fascism.
In 2021 similarly themed events are likely in many global locations.
To understand 2021 - as a manifestation of the December 21 conjunction of Jupiter and Saturn in Aquarius we need not only to understand Aquarius but also the conflict arising between Jupiter and Saturn co-existent in Aquarius - including their midpoint activation periods. This factor extends paired synergy - so the Jupiter and Saturn fusion doesn’t move fully away from Aquarius until mid February 2022 - even though Jupiter by then is in early Pisces.
In their unmodified expression:
Jupiter in Aquarius: supports freedom, enlarges groups & networks, includes diversity, encourages progress
Saturn in Aquarius : restricts freedoms, controls/structures groups, limits inclusion, excludes “Aliens”/The Other, resists progress.
A degree of conflict is likely both within individuals as well as in outer society in 2021 regarding the Aquarian principles - how to blend both and find balance - or find a polarized position or practise clear contradiction “one rule for me- another rule for you” or “you have to follow the rules, I don’t -which appeals to those already resonating with non-conformist potentials of Uranus or Aquarius.
Further expansion on these placements in the latter part of the post
Understanding fascism/extremism involves understanding the potentials of 5 standout planetary indicators
PLUTO power NEPTUNE mission URANUS entitlement SATURN control MARS aggression
Especially when channeled through Aries Gemini Sagittarius Leo Scorpio Aquarius
Fixed signs appear significant in event timing and in key figures.
Pluto is a factor in many sign expressions with Gemini Leo Scorpio - and Aquarius worth noting -as well as tight aspects.
Neptunian Mission when a significant Neptune is made antisocial by Saturn /Uranus /Pluto
Mars adds fuel in support of other factors & in fire/fixed signs
Uranus is a strong signifier when non-conformity is primarily derived from a sense of entitlement [Royal titles inherited or nobility titles granted & ranks achieved [Military] are the groups who have been traditionally officially “entitled”. The Sun with a Uranus connection blends the Royal/Noble “special” with “beyond rules”.
Leo & Aquarius enter into the frame in this respect.
Saturn in fixed signs expresses control in many ways.
[Jupiter will feature as an amplifying factor when connected to other planets and especially in high risk signs such as Aries Scorpio]
Key figures and Events - Background Influences
Adolf Hitler January 30 1933 after a decade of leading his Nazi party to dominance became the German Chancellor - authoritarian dictator of the Third Reich having beaten the democratic parliament of the Weimar Republic
Mercury Saturn and Sun were conjunct in Aquarius on that day.
Hitler himself has Uranus in the Ascendant zone of the 12th house
Sun Saturn and Venus in fixed signs
Saturn in Leo -the dipole of Aquarius
Hitler’s authoritarian “twin” Mussolini leading the instalment of fascism in Italy in the inter-war period has Uranus most elevated & semisquare Sun-Mercury in Leo.
The success of these two dictators filtered through to Americans: the power, the uniforms - to the extent that a copycat organisation with high political aspirations was formed on January 31 1933 - the day after Hiltler’s big rise on January 30 1933 - by William D. Pelley
A uniformed organization influenced by Italian fascism of the 1920s then Nazism this racist anti-communist paramilitary group believed in a Christian militia.
Leader William Pelley [March 12 1890 ] was also drawn to occult power [as was Hitler].
He planned a position as fascist dictator of America - contesting for the Christian Party - but lost the 1936 election to FDR
Jailed for sedition & high treason. Died 1965.
His mix of mutable & fixed signs and planets tells the story in 2 threads
1. Sun Pisces-Neptune Gemini-Mercury Aquarius-Uranus trine Mercury.
2. Neptune conjunct Pluto-both opposite Mars. Jupiter trine/sextile this group.
Analysis: Mutables are signs of mind - His Pisces & Neptune both strongly flavoured by Gemini & the Gemini is intensified by Pluto. Connected to Mars in SAG gives assertive/aggressive ideology. Mercury & Jupiter in Aquarius and their links to Uranus & Pluto Neptune bring out significant power-seeking non-conformity -all framed within a spiritual mission.
Pelley strongly matches the key astrological markers
1969 to present : Sherrif’s Posse Comitatus -
an ideology combining archaic & old world rationales to create an alternative justice and control system run by Sheriffs independent of official government at every level. Set up own jury system.
Manifesting as vigilantism survivalism anti-taxation anti government, ignoring laws wherever possible, obstructing officialdom in any context -“paper terrorism” -flooding courts with frivilous legal actions [sound familiar?]
Key figure William Potter Gale headed a paramilitary chapter and a racist “Church” flying a Confederate flag.
Promoted 2nd Amendment “Right to Bear Arms . Influenced NRA.
Violence weapons intimidation -death threats - harassment, all involved.
Gale [ Nov 20 1916 ]
Sun Scorpio quincunx Jupiter in Aries -describes his military/aggressive power-by-force aproach. [he was a WW2 army colonel]
Yet he was an outwardly very handsome man - a likely charmer [Venus in Libra] but the Scorpio Sun plus Jupiter in Aries trine Mars in Sagittarius meant he needed & achieved a means of delivering hateful propaganda to the masses. Gale styled himself as a Reverend who made radio broadcasts.
He was driven by a tribalist type of survivalism [Pluto in Cancer generation]
Uranus in Aquarius added in the rule-breaker element
Saturn in Leo signifies a cold-heartedness.
Analysis
Here again multiple pointers when in combination creating a rogue personality: Scorpio Sun & Mercury: driven by power.
Uranus significant in Aquarius = power by any means when accompanied by Scorpio
Aries very amplified by Jupiter preferencing aggressive/ weaponised options and serving the Scorpio drives.
Pluto in Cancer affected Gale in the most extreme way.
With war memories and fascism underway during Pluto in Cancer the potential was high for the most survivalist personalities to become very tribal: my type my race my country. Everyone else was the enemy - the outsider - which allows atrocities.
Pluto was early in Cancer when WW1 started and stayed there until during 1939 -just before WW2.
Gale was not the only influential source of Posse propaganda. Henry Beach - a follower of Gale’s had in earlier times belonged to the Silver Shirts. He promoted the ideologies from both sources and republished them including Gale’s ideas in his own locale.
Henry Lamont Beach [June 17 1903] supported Nazi ideology. By the mid 1970s -aged 70 - his activities declined. He had been a dedicated distributor of manifestoes in his retirement years.
Beach has significant patterns that match the profile outlined:
Saturn in Aquarius - can be seen as seeking “societal control” and or rebelling against control by outside forces -typifying the blatant contradictions that co-exist in the minds of people who want to make the rules but not abide by rules.
Saturn is aspecting Sun-Pluto in Gemini, and mutable Jupiter & Uranus by sesquiquadrate/semisquare aspects.
3 mutable indicators Gemini Sagittarius and Pisces show a very active mind driven by multiple planetary placements;
The Sun-Pluto midpoint 22 Gemini opposite Uranus 23 Sagittarius - both being square Jupiter 22 Pisces.
Analysis:
Henry Beach looks to be driven by a need to regulate or control society due to
thoughts full of non-conformist repressive ideas driven by a power-seeking “spiritual” philosophy or mission. Driven to spread these ideas.
Why are these figures and their organisations relevant in 2021?
A clear pathway exists from the extreme personalities who are driven to seize power and their modus operandi in past eras to the outcomes in standoffs and sieges in the latter part of last century [Waco 1993 re stockpiling of illegal weapons; Montana Freemen 1996] as well as domestic terrorism -the biggest event being the high ly destructive & fatal Mcveigh bombing of the Oklahoma Federal building 1995. A Gulf War vet, he sympathised with prior standoffs against authorities and chose the bombing date to honour the fallen at Waco.
Aquarius Factors Relevant to 2021:
- Waco 1993 and an earlier standoff [Ruby Ridge 1992] occurred when Saturn was in Aquarius
- [ when Saturn ingressed to Aquarius in Feb 1991 Pluto 20 Scorpio was square Sun 18 Aquarius]
- Oklahoma bombing April 19 1995 occurred with Uranus in Aquarius.
- The Montana Freemen standoff March 25 1996 began an 81 day power struggle with enforcement agents. The group self declared as an anti government Christian Patriot movement. Uranus was in Aquarius on that date and sextile Pluto in Sagittarius - both in the 3-4 degree range. Again multiple factors added to the tension
- Ruby Ridge and Waco standoffs gave impetus to the ideologically driven militia movement in the US -peaking in 1996 [858 groups] then declining until 2008 aftermath of the Global Financial Crisis followed by the election of Democrat Obama.
- Also noting that the ingress chart of Saturn into Aquarius in April 1814 which was influential in the period of the August 1814 burning of the Capitol - features:
Though paramilitary activity is illegal in 50 states the emergence has been reinvigorated since the 1990s and illegality has not curtailed the return to a peak of 334 groups in 2011 and likely more in 2021.
Ijeoma Oluo in her book Mediocre examines the origins of white male supremacy in America.
Looking at Buffalo Bill [William Cody] she aligns him with the culture of triumph by white men over land and other races - as an expresion of hyper masculinity.
Buffalo Bill she says profited enormously from the entitlement agenda that expressed in the killling of man and beast in large numbers.
Though later regretful of that era, it seems, William Cody [February 26 1846 at Noon. No actual birth-time ] has factors in his energy that are consistent with the themes of this post:
Most obvious is Saturn in Aquarius - an energy asserted in this post that is consistent with the rejection/repression of The Other - man and beast alike.
His abundance of Pisces was expressed in the falsehoods/lies/myths he personally spun to create his own legendary status - then in a desire for redemption.
With Neptune also in Aquarius closely conjunct Saturn it was Saturn that first dominated his mind ahead of Neptune - but over time Neptune allowed him to feel a connection with the Native Americans he once dehumanised and saw as the enemy to slaughter.
So too was there a reversal regarding his view of Bison/Buffalo - which led to his reputation as a conservationist [conservation is a Saturnian concept]
Pluto in Aries. North Node in Scorpio Mars conjunct Jupiter all promoted a strongly aggressive murderous quality in him before he gave way to the showman sub personality.
He had been regarded as a poseur in his early exploits and the power of public attention and acclaim allowed him to craft a life story for public consumption based on minimal facts - quite probably a Leo midheaven feeding off all that Pisces!
The issue here is the place Buffalo Bill fills in the American mythology.
This role model of American manhood has been sustained over the past century and plays a part in legitimising violence racism and toxic masculinity within American culture - based on notions of white supremacy over all domains, all lands, people and species.
All colonisation enacted by the white race over indigenous people has repeated the same story [Africa, Australia, New Zealand Canada showing clear examples of indigenous suppression] because the same mentality or consciousness has been in control - but this is not simply a white problem. Overall it is perpetrated by male power and witnessed in many non-white cultures where there has been scope for authoritarian power to overwhelm other ethnicities or belief systems. [China playing a significant role in this era]
It can be seen that when historic sources of control ideology converge
- colonialism racism fascism
as they have in the 20th-21st centuries
with economic alienation and feelings of disempowerment
that an even more potent hybrid version is part of the mix.
America demonstrates this clearly as we watch 2021 unfold
When Aquarius resumed as a significant societal factor on Dec 21 2020
it brought Saturn as well as Jupiter back into an effective position -
expressed through that sign’s indicators
as well as planetary expressions entangled to the ingress in that chart.
The unfolding of those potentials relies on subsequent transits

If you wanted revolution and/or phenomenal political transformation -could you ask for more than this? With Uranus & Mars surrounding the "birth" and Jupiter Saturn very elevated, Pluto most elevated at the position of powerful Solar influence WOW. January 2021 comes as just part of a very big protracted story. Saturn in Aquarius gives rise to people who want a rule based society - so long as it is their rules - it is in many ways a very restricted society - most are cast out or designated “enemy” - a special sector of same-thinking non-conformists are included. |
They do not accept the rule based-society that the majority have sanctioned.
Only they are right, everyone else - no matter how many - is wrong.
Jupiter in Aquarius at best stimulates increased freedom but can also result in widespread non-conformity.
Freedom is not a singular entity -it comes with responsibility - and the natural counterforce to Jupiter is Saturn - so there are two drives that have to be balanced both within individuals alive in 2021 - and those born with that pattern for the duration their lives.
Other Jupiter in Aquarius concepts are large gatherings, big groups large protests.
Depending upon the context there could be a need for containment or management - Saturn in Aquarius.
After 2021 Saturn is alone without Jupiter - for 14 months into early 2023 - when groups/communities networks face a context of controls
Jupiter in Aquarius will have various contextual expressions but in the context of political matters -American and global -
the cries of Liberty! And Freedom! And Rights! have to be carefully examined to see whose liberty whose freedom whose rights are being demanded.
If the scenario expects freedom without controls or responsibility then there’s a problem.
Jupiter and Saturn synergise in Aquarius midpoints though 2021
and until the mid February Full Moon 2022
Aquarius energy permeates the online world courtesy of the electronic infrastructure provided by Uranus.
Any significant planet in Aquarius will have related consequences online.
Since extremism has proliferated due to the nature of online media, Saturn in Aquarius is likely to see more online controls and Jupiter in Aquarius a spread or enlargement of online communities.
With these planets significant in Aquarius in 2021 it is clear that online communities of people will continue to be a major factor in enlarging those groups with very determined plans and agendas
With Aquarius’ key planet Uranus still in Taurus in 2021 -and for 5 more years - the issues of financial wellbeing wealth and poverty are the drivers behind a lot of activism protest - as Covid-19 has worsened the poverty levels and the number of everyday citizens working for low and moderate incomes whose job has been lost. Taurus is also about security therefore many more will experience material/ financial irregularity and insecurity in 2021.
These issues generate a sense of being disempowered - not included in the system - which increasingly sees the wealthy become gluttonously over-rewarded. The power issues around money evoke Uranus to embrace Taurus’ polar sign Scorpio as well as Leo and Aquarius -the energy spreads into multiple expressions. This quadrupolar activity has been seen before and is an important “bigger picture” factor to include.
[ The physics of solar magnetic activity acknowledges a quadrupolar phase dominant in part of the solar cycle compared to the dipolar phase]
Poverty [Great Depression, Global Financial Crisis, & soon to manifest clearly in the Covid Era] is a huge driver of anti-government non-conformity.
At the extreme end this evokes the desire of dissaffected groups to seize power take control then begin disenfranching the “enemies” who might threaten their control.
The past era of Uranus in Taurus arose during the Great Depression and the Nazi Third Reich until 1942.
The current period of Uranus in Taurus is 2019-2026
Summary
2021 is a year with historic precedents both imported and domestically-generated in terms of uprisings and social conflict.
Two key drivers in 2021 are Jupiter and Saturn in Aquarius with long-term consequences.
Underlying that surge of energy is economic adversity in the Covid/post Covid context. [Uranus in Taurus] both Jupiter and Saturn interact with Uranus in January/February but Uranus stresses/is stressed by Saturn multiple times in 2021.
Pluto is also of high significance while remaining in Capricorn until 2024 and having midpoints in Aquarius -shared with Jupiter until the end of 2022.
within months Pluto then enters the first ingress into Aquarius.
Pluto also has Aquarius midpoints with Saturn - in Aquarius and Pisces - until early April 2025.
This makes Aquarius/Uranus - and how society manages extremes of such - the big story of many years to come.
After Jan 2021 four further years of networking & organisation for purposes benign or adverse to determine what type of power is managing or controlling communities.
Failure is not an option.
Footnotes
Donald Trump is significantly driven by Uranus in Gemini conjunct Gemini Sun and with North Node at the midpoint - all opposite Moon in Sagittarius. This says almost everything about his documented behaviour but there’s more.. Pluto - power - and -assertion -Mars both in fixed sign Leo -and Mars rising at the ascendant.
Like Mussolini his Uranus is most elevated.
Pompeo has Saturn in Aquarius square Neptune in Scorpio plus Uranus conjunct Pluto. - a very hawkish Capricorn and with quite a lot in resonance with the groups he claims to want to suppress.
This big publication has been researched analysed and published in a 3 day period in the context of Jupiter & Saturn in Aquarius -in particular with Jupiter exact trine the author’s Gemini ascendant
 |
| Aries expression for Uranus regarding large number of people [Jupiter in Libra] Saturn restricting people from other countries. Fuelled by the opposite of compassion. Trump himself being born with Saturn closely conjunct Venus produces a cold unsympathetic emotional disposition |
Astrological shorthand
Events of Jan 6 2021 in the US put further into context the implications of the Jupiter-Pluto midpoint in Capricorn.
The synergy of these two forces in this context & witnessed through Covid 2020 has been increased govt powers & controls.
Where necessary this legacy endures.
The midpoint in CAP shifts to AQU on Jan 12 2021 1pm UK time & this begins the synergy of JUP-PLU in AQU
This new theme is the increased powers of networks/groups/communities.
Uranus - the Aquarian planet -now has a connection to the JUP-PLU synergy where before it was Saturn.
Online activism will increase significantly whether for constructive or destructive purposes. Flashpoints relate to Uranus stressing the JUP-PLU midpoint or Jupiter alone as well as Mars alignments to JUP & PLU at the same time - eg Sept & Dec 2021.
JUP & PLU maintain an AQU midpoint till the end of 2022 even when JUP enters Pisces. Many more points of interaction are on offer but not detailed here.
The US social-political environment already stands out as being highly vulnerable to the proliferation of groups & networks intent of challenging legitimate authority. A sustained challenging adversarial environment has high potential.
Saturn & Pluto also exit from their Capricorn midpoint in January 2021 - on the 29th at 0hrs UK time.
In CAP this synergy has expressed as an infrastructure of extreme or significant restrictions limitations controls regulations rules under Covid conditions. The legacy of that endures where necessary.
SAT-PLU synergised in Aquarius puts the focus both on the way networks groups communities are managed/controlled by govts & corporates - & sees an empowered infrastructure for groups networks communities.
Saturn keeps an AQU midpoint with Pluto not just through 2021 - for around 4 years - even with SAT in Pisces & PLU in AQU.
Again if Uranus stresses the midpoint eg Jan 2025 URA23TAU squ 23AQU in time for the Inauguration with PLU AQU conjunct Sun -this is a flashpoint to note.
Jupiter too in Taurus stresses any AQU midpoint in range & with a combination like with Mars Jup PLU at 0 fixed May 2023
