DEEP STATE vs. HEAD OF STATE

Most people were not aware there even was a Deep State until Donald J. Trump entered the political arena in 2015 as a presidential candidate. Then over the next few years we knew for sure that not only was there a Deep State but that Globalists were aligned with it.  Their worst enemy was a strong nation-state and anyone promoting that reality, along with citizens’ rights protected by a strong constitution.  The United States is a major target. 

Never before in American history has a presidential candidate been spied on with illegal electronic surveillance, as was done from 2015 (or earlier) through 2017 to then-candidate Donald Trump, later President-elect Trump, then President Trump, for 10 months into his presidency. The Obama Dept. of Justice planned and executed this scheme, working closely with the FBI, CIA, NSA, the Clinton campaign, and the Democratic National Committee (DNC).  “They framed an incoming president with a false Russian conspiracy that never existed, and they knew it, and they plotted to ruin him as a candidate and then plotted to destroy him as a president.” (Former federal prosecutor Joe DiGenova, Jan. 2018)  Here is Joe DiGenova  in Jan. 2020 updating what was known for several years, including that efforts to impeach Donald Trump began when he was still a candidate.

From March to Nov. 2017, with follow-up articles  in 2018 and in June 2019, Edith has been writing about these events from the vantage point of transiting Pluto tightly opposite the USA natal Sun, also examining the Jupiter-Saturn and lunar nodal cycles, 2000-2020.  In a national chart the Sun symbolizes the President and presidency. Pluto represents secret forces, unwilling to be seen or identified; and an opposition is a confrontation or attack, in this case a systematic and full force attack, but the players remain hidden – until now.

As of  Dec. 10, 2023 there are 1021 pages of articles (from WORD files) available at this website: 76 articles including three book excerpts with commentary. Many of these (21 articles) also appear in French translation by Patricia Depasse, Belgium.

A subsequent two-part article focuses on the 2020 U.S. Presidential Election and in the many ways it can be seen as a Contemporary Morality Play. All the Sept. 2020 articles feature material on the upcoming Jupiter-Saturn conjunction.

In late March and April 2020 Edith covers the Coronavirus.  The first article is Coronavirus – War Against “the Invisible Enemy.” The second one is Coronavirus – The Bigger Picture & Time-Lines.  Previously, in late Jan. 2020 she covers Prime Minister Boris Johnson and Brexit, which finally became official Jan. 31, 2020. In late 2019 her articles cover the astrological events of Dec. 2019,  including a Solar eclipse; also the upcoming Jupiter-Saturn conjunction in Dec. 2020, with its implications of the outcome of the 2020 U.S. Presidential Election. A broad swath of time is covered in analyzing the larger  and smaller JU-SA Conjunction cycles through the centuries leading up to this one.

Among topics of cultural interest, Edith has written on the musical Hamilton, its chief protagonist Alexander Hamilton and its creator Lin-Manuel Miranda.  The show’s World premiere was Jan. 20, 2015.  She has also written on another noteworthy cultural event: a breakthrough concert Feb. 12, 1924 at which George Gershwin’s Rhapsody in Blue received its World premiere.

Among topics of political interest, Edith has covered a range of issues on Immigration in her two-part article about this defining issue of the 2020 U.S. Election (Aug. 2019).  She has covered the Origins of the Trump-Russia Collusion Investigation (June 2019), Jussie Smollett – Hate Crime Hoax in Chicago (Feb. 2019), and Jussie Smollett – Act 2 (April 2019), which also discusses the final report by Robert Mueller on the Trump-Russia collusion. Among other topics are the U.S.-China Trade War & Related Topics (Dec. 2018), including the hot topics of immigration and the Supreme Court nomination of Brett Kavanaugh (Oct. 2018).  Her Aug. 2018 article focuses on Peter Strzok, the lead FBI investigator who is also discussed in her July 2018 article on the Inspector General’s Report (June 2018), titled More Investigation around the 2016 U.S. Election.   Edith has written on The Information Age and where its new technologies are leading us.  Closely related to this is her article Deep State vs. Head of State, as well as one on the new Citizen Journalists.  On Aug. 31, 2017 she published The Great Divide: American Civil War Redux, and in Nov.  2017 came Anatomy of a Pluto Station: Las Vegas Shooting and Other Notable Events.  There are 9 articles closely related to each other, including via the tr. Pluto Stations occurring twice in 2017 and once in 2018 (Sept. 30) opposite the USA Sun. (See TRENDING box above.)

Edith has also written on the politics of Syriaon ISIS, the U.S. Presidential Elections of 2008 & 2012, and the 2016 U.S. Presidential Election (11 full-length articles, totaling 152 pp. here, herehere, here, here, here, here, here, here, here, and here;  also on whistleblowers Edward Snowden and Julian Assange. Several articles focus on the Jupiter-Saturn 20-yr. cycles and conjunction charts, among them, her article on The Information Age (2017) given above, and Corporate Conglomerates vs. Nation States: Which Nations Will Survive & Thrive? (2010)  Her article on Graha Yuddha (Planetary War) (2002, revised 2010) is one of the most important and original research articles on the topic.  This evokes Edith’s work with the great Vedic astrologer, Chakrapani Ullal, who passed away on Oct. 28, 2017 and will be greatly missed. She writes about him here.

Edward Snowden’s revelations in June 2013 about massive global surveillance operations were preceded by whistleblowers William Binney, Thomas Drake and others since 2005. But not until June 2013 did most people pay attention. Edith’s two-part article (available here as PDF) was originally published in the Dec. 2014 and Jan. 2015 issues of Astrologic magazine, an on-line magazine, and later republished with illustrations and follow-up commentary March 2016 in the spring 2016 issue of Geocosmic Journal, a professional astrological journal of the NCGR (National Council of Astrological Research).

VEDIC ASTROLOGY

There are many forces of destiny for us to understand, and Vedic astrology – the astrology of India – gives us one tool. It is a great gift in revealing who we are, and where we are in time. The next task is accepting and working with those factors. Knowing this and accepting this, we move on to pursuing the destiny we were meant to live, at the highest level – as manifestations of the planetary lights, the brightest of which are the Sun and the Moon. Their light is reflected in each of us.

Read more about the “real essence” of astrology:

“Time is the force behind the Creation of the universal elements. It is also the force that brings about the Destruction of all these. Even when the Universe is Asleep, Time remains in a state of Awakening. Time, which is thus ever alert, is an Inviolable Force. … Time bakes the various living beings along with their souls.”  From “The Concept of Time,” Hora Ratnam, Chapter 2, slokas 327-328, p. 309.
