The Judge and the Abortion Pill

Eclipses may cause upheavals when they occur, and their patterns highlight trends and events to come.  The April 2023 Court decisions on the abortion drug mifepristone are part of a larger pattern involving eclipses, the Biden administration, Joe Biden himself, the Jupiter-Saturn conjunction at 0 Aquarius and now Pluto’s change of sign from Capricorn to Aquarius as well.

U.S. District Judge Matthew Kacsmaryk was confirmed by President Trump in 2019.  Lawsuits filed by conservative groups in his Amarillo, Texas jurisdiction have been assured of the outcome, and the judge has already made decisions on immigration and LGBTQ workers.  His April 7, 2023 decision on mifepristone would amount to a nationwide ban on the drug, which was approved by the FDA and in use for over 20 years.

The original Roe vs. Wade Supreme Court decision guaranteeing the right to abortion was decided on January 22, 1973, four days after a Lunar Eclipse at 28 Cancer 40.  When the Court struck this ruling on June 24, 2022, transiting Pluto was at 28 Capricorn, closely opposing the eclipse degree.

The Kacsmaryk decision shortly after a full Moon was quickly brought to the Supreme Court, who froze the ruling on April 21, 2023 on the heels of a Solar Eclipse at 29 Aries, until the court appeals play out.

Let’s remember that the 2021 Biden inauguration Moon is also at 29 Aries.  Placed in the 12th house, it suggests the private nature of the matter addressed and the crusading energy placed in this question by many.  29 degrees certainly shows change, especially as the Moon in the inauguration horoscope conjoins Mars and squares Pluto and the Sun at the Midheaven.  President Biden is fighting Judge Kacsmaryk’s ruling, and his own Moon is about 1 Taurus, closely conjunct the administration’s Moon.  The Jupiter-Saturn conjunction at 0 Aquarius in December of 2020 set the stage, making these developments part of a larger cyclic trend.  And the transiting North Node will also be at 29 Aries in July of 2023, further emphasizing this point.

We can clearly see the many astrological layers at work:  Roe v. Wade decision on a Lunar Eclipse at about 29 Cancer, and the Supreme Court strikes Roe v. Wade with transiting Pluto at 28 Capricorn.  Court’s hold on Kacsmaryk’s decision on a Solar Eclipse at 29 Aries.  Pluto is at 0 Aquarius to 28 Capricorn from January 2023 through February 2024 and will activate these points, showing not only how things are slowly changing, but also the strong personal feelings involved on both sides of the question.

We don’t have a birth date for Judge Kacsmaryk.  However Wikipedia says that he was born in 1977 – the year of a Solar Eclipse at 28 Aries!  Now we know exactly why this particular judge is involved.

We may not be able to predict the final outcome of the court decisions.  But with Pluto at 29 Capricorn 47 for the November 2024 election, this issue will surely continue to motivate voters.

Christino has done the world of astrology a major service by compiling, and presenting in such a lively way, a lot of valuable information that would otherwise fall by the wayside… vital scholarship for the safeguarding of astrological history.
