On January 29, 2025, a regional jet airplane was landing and a Blackhawk helicopter collided with it in midair with both falling into the Potomac River. Two days later, a medical air ambulance Lear jet crashed into an intersection near a mall in Philadelphia. Earlier in the month, the lunar nodes had shifted from Aries-Libra to Pisces-Virgo. Pisces chaos. Virgo order.
I like to view the nodes as a factory with the north node the location where we bring new material into the factory. These are the things we are consuming. The south node is the location where we produced finished goods and so are things we are producing. A Pisces north node is consuming chaos and the Virgo south node is producing order.
The Washington DC midair collision highlights the nodal axis. This event, unlike the later Philadelphia crash, is the one that is most focused on the Pisces-Virgo element. Trump has just become President and he is a late Leo Ascendant. His seventh house is made of a tiny sliver of Aquarius and Pisces. People often consider him chaotic. The seventh house is the place where we project something about ourselves on others but don’t forget Trump has a very successful career building things. Most of his first house is in Virgo. He even rescued projects such as the Wollman Rink that the city of New York couldn’t build.
Trump’s Pisces Vesta was conjunct the Washington D.C. chaos north node. The time has come from him to sort through the chaos and restore order. In remarks afterward, he said DEI hiring had caused problems in the FAA. He called for the past high standards to be restored and the FAA to rely on geniuses. The retrograde Taurus Uranus was conjunct his Midheaven. Standards are the purview of Taurus and geniuses are described by Aquarius or Uranus. Retrograde Taurus Uranus. Past high standards genius. The crash horoscope also puts that in the ninth house of faith. In the press conference that night, Trump said “We have to have our smartest people, we will restore faith in American air travel.” The retrograde Taurus Uranus is conjunct Trump’s Midheaven.
Almost immediately the left supporting media came out against his remarks. The left’s disdain for Trump leads them to strange conclusions. Smart people shouldn’t be air traffic controllers and controllers shouldn’t meet standards?
The Pisces population are those groups that have often been institutionalized, such as disabled persons. They need opportunity but there are just some jobs that disabled people aren’t qualified for. There are persons with no disabilities who aren’t qualifed for these jobs either. A blind person manning an air traffic control station needs to demonstrate to the public they can operate without impairment at all times and not have disability cheerleaders forcefully demand that they should be given this job without considering whether or not the disability will have an effect on this work. If they can pass a high standard, than by all means give them the job but only after they demonstrate they can handle the work. Other people’s lives depend on them. Do these cheerleaders really want a blind person that can’t pass the standard manning the air traffic control of their plane?
Astrology agrees with Trump on this one. The Virgo south node is about restoring order from chaos. Trump’s Vesta is conjunct the Pisces north node. Cleaning up the mess. The crash horoscope places a retrograde Taurus Uranus as the first planet after the Pisces north node-Neptune-Venus conjunction. The next step is going back to the past high standards for air traffic controllers. There is no doubt that the Blackhawk helicopter and the regional jet were too close to each other, they collided. The air traffic controller failed. It is air traffic control that is supposed to keep them safely away from each other. It doesn’t matter in the end if the helicopter was a hundred feet higher or lower in altitude than the previous radar read, the controller should never have let it be within 100 feet of a regional jet much less collide. The failure to hire sufficient staff so the FAA can pursue some fantasy about hiring disabled persons is the wrong priority for the FAA to focus on.
The Philadelphia crash highlights a different element of the same astrology. No longer focused on air traffic control this goes to other types of standards. Once again, the retrograde Taurus Uranus is the next step but it is now in the house of government and the public. Not only do air traffic controllers need to meet standards, this appears to be about physical airplane standards. The chart is ruled by the Aquarius Sun in the sixth house. Airplane maintenance and restoration. The Virgo south node lies in the second house. This appears to be about the plane.
Standards aren’t the enemy. Relying on air traffic controllers or planes is about human lives. Safeguarding lives needs to be the top priority of the FAA. Anyone who is unwilling to pursue that mission should not be allowed into a position of responsibility at the FAA.
My first real job had a paralyzed person from the waist down in the office next to mine. He was great at his job and was very smart who could probably pass the standard to have been an air traffic controller. Allowing all interested persons, disabled or not, attempt to prove they can meet the standard is a great American ideal. We just need to allow failure to happen at the standard level and not waver on the standards because we feel bad that some persons aren’t qualified for some jobs. There are lots of jobs and not all put other’s people’s lives in danger when they fail. The Pisces Neptune transit is ending. The Pisces north node has arrived and it is now time to restore order from chaos.
