On December 22, 2017 US president Donald Trump signs historic tax cut bill, bugled as the Trump Tax Cuts. This landmark upturn in America’s renaissance gained momentum as Saturn enters his domicile, Capricorn on December 21, winter solstice in the northern hemisphere. The boss is home. Liberal hecklers’ hisses hopelessly hollow freeze blinded by the aesthetic: Daddy’s heavy haunches landing in his stinky recliner in super hi-def slow motion. Hand over the remote.
When Saturn returns to his home Capricorn every thirty years, natural hierarchal structures of authority are restored. And in reality, although the CEO in the cushy leather chair is physically located at the tippy top floor, it’s the workers at the base, the muscles, the brains, the foundation that have authority over the world. It is in their homes, their bars and churches history is spun into everlasting stories. President Trump is confident these tax cuts will empower employers to give more to their workers. These cuts represent a turning of the tables, a return to form, an environment that affords the hard working and the capable upward mobility. A bulk of the savings goes to those in the twenty to fifty something thousand a year bracket. Whoa Hold on. You mean, the Trump Tax Cuts are what he promised? They’re great? Wow! Hold on, you mean to tell me those who were appointed high office are actually trying to help working families? Yes. This is the reality we are living in as Saturn enters his domicile, Capricorn. Enjoy merit-based compensation.
After thirty years of the deck being stacked against the American worker, Saturn returns home to reward the deserving. US Treasury Secretary Steve Mnuchin was a top banker of Goldman-Sachs. For those of you who are only vaguely familiar with Goldman-Sachs, they’re one of the mythic evil banks. So, When president Trump appointed Mnuchin of evil Goldman-Sachs as Treasury Secretary, the crowd went completely bonkers. In Astrology, we learn: Everything in its right time and in its right place. In astrology, there’s room for the three-hundred-sixty degree gamut of archetypes at the table. But of course, it’s crucial the more challenging, the more malefic forces be in their right places in order for their infernal tactics to be put to practical use—similarly to King Solomon putting the demons to work erecting his temple—everything, in its right time and in its right place.
Mnuchin, the money wizard is the big brain which helped sculpt the restoration of American economic dominance. Believe me, Mnuchin got where he is by knowing what he’s doing. He’s definitely the bad-guy you want developing your scheme for personal wealth. He’s the devilish fellow you want on your team. Mnuchin is the one who’s permanently fixed toward the nighttime of human dealings so you and I don’t have to. Mnuchin is the one up in the tower tireless balancing books for you and I, so you and I can enjoy the temple. Finally, Saturn is home, where he belongs, somewhere he can finger through stacks of the fed bucks, where he can only spin good threads.
In astrology we learn it’s often difficult to recognize the gifts, the blessings bestowed by Saturn. Saturn is always the polar opposite of the Sun. Saturn is always frozen. He is the state of being trapped in physical reality. Remember, the Bible calls this human body, a tomb. Saturn is restriction and limitation. And so his lessons may be painful and startling. When Saturn returns home every thirty years, the rules become clearer and adjudication is expedited. So although the awareness is drawn to stricture, much required improvements are visible on the horizon. Mnuchin and Trump’s historic tax cuts are that Saturnine promise that reward will follow discipline and hard work. Saturn wields his scythe slicing the American tax rates by nearly half. Saturn says, “you’re deserving of relief. And by the way, you’re welcome”.
