The Astrological Design of the US Capitol Riot

In my year in review pieces for 2020 and 2021 I covered some of the major astrological transits as a “cosmic correlation” model with events on the ground. The 2021 review looked at the Uranus-Saturn square, which was inflamed by a Mars transit near to the January 6th 2021 US…
