This summer I joined a handful
of online discussion groups for professional-level astrologers.
Although these groups had thousands of members, I never saw their
astrologers post any predictions or warnings about the extraordinary
crises, shocks, and scandals the USA was about to go through in the fall
of 2013. None of them gave any indication that they had any advance
knowledge of Obama's Syrian reversal, or the government shutdown, or the
Obamacare rollout debacle, or the default deadline crisis, or the
diplomatic storm over NSA spying, or all the social unrest, massive
protests, public shootings, and mass murders that were to occur in
September, October, and November. If any of them saw these crises
coming, they kept it to themselves.
When the Syria chemical weapons crisis was going on in September, a handful of these astrologers did have the courage to climb out on a limb and publicly guess whether or not the US would end up bombing Syria or not. But to a man, they all guessed wrong. None of them seemed to have any inkling that America's worst diplomatic crisis in decades was just weeks away, nor did any of them go on the record with any predictions about whether or not the government would go into shutdown on October 1st, nor when that shutdown might end, nor whether the US would end up going into default.
In contrast, this is the documented log of my own predictions and warnings about these crises and scandals. Between September 7th and October 5th, 2013, I posted several public dated predictions about US affairs between September 2013 and January 2014, several of which nailed the exact dates of specific events. This log contains time-stamped links to those original predictions, followed by links to news reports of the events fulfilling those predictions.
1. The USA would not attack Syria over the Ghouta chemical weapons attack if it didn't do it before September 15th (Posted September 8th)
2. The US Government would go into shutdown in October. (Posted September 20th and 22nd)
3. October's long-anticipated Obamacare Marketplace rollout would be a big disorganized mess. (Posted September 21st)
4. There would be no progress in the government shutdown negotiations before October 10th. (Posted October 1st)
5. Government shutdown negotiations would finally start to show progress between October 11th - 16th. (Posted October 2nd and October 5th)
6. The shutdown crisis would continue right up to the edge of the October 17th default deadline. (Posted October 4th and October 5th )
7. The USA would not go into default. (Posted October 1st)
8. The government would adopt a stopgap measure that postponed the budget crisis without solving it. (Posted October 1st)
9. The government would increase the national debt between October 12 - November 8 . (Posted October 1st)
10. Obama would be in a weaker and more vulnerable position in November. (Posted October 1st)
11. The last three months of 2013 would be especially unsettled and tumultuous for the USA. While the US government would suffer from disruption, disorganization, and noncooperation in October specifically, the nation would suffer from conflict, disputes, and unrest throughout the entire period. (Posted September 7th, September 20th, and September 22nd)
12. There would be multiple high-profile protests and public shootings during the last three months of 2013. (Posted September 21st)
The elephant in the room is, why didn't any of the other astrologers in these groups foresee these crises and scandals and issue warnings about them as well?
Results
1. The text of this September 8th prediction read "The Lunar Returns for the Liberty Chart do not support the conclusion that we will engage Syria unless we do it before Sep 15."

After first being extremely gung-ho about bombing Syria in response to the 8/21/2013 Ghouta attacks, Obama did a sudden and surprising about-face just one day after I posted this prediction. On 9/9/2013, Secretary of State John Kerry suggested that Syria turn over all of its chemical weapons within a week. At the time, the U.S. and France headed a coalition of countries that was right on the verge of carrying out air strikes on Syria, but Kerry's off-the-cuff suggestion received an unexpectedly swift and positive response from Russia and Syria, and U.S.-Russian negotiations led to an agreement that quickly tabled Obama's plans to attack Syria. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Destruction_of_Syria%27s_chemical_weapons
2. The text of this September 22nd prediction read, "I expect very unsettled and possibly even dangerous times here in the states for the remainder of the year. I expect to see a real stubborn fight develop over the budget, with no one backing down or compromising much, and a lot of fallout from that, including that partial shutdown of the government they are all on about now."

The shutdown occurred as predicted. Several members of various astrology groups acknowledged that I made this successful prediction and congratulated me for my good astrological work, including the well-publicized astrologer Theodore White and several others.

3. The text of this September 21st prediction read, "I also expect to see a real mess with the opening of the Obamacare marketplace."
https://www.facebook.com/groups/mundaneastrologers/permalink/594852517222930/
The opening of Obamacare turned out to be so extremely screwed up that it led to a Congressional inquiry. Obama himself ended up angrily condemning it and apologizing for it, saying the rollout "stunk", that there was "no excuse" for it and that it was "unacceptable". The woman Obama put in charge of the rollout, Kathleen Sebelius, went so far as to declare before Congress that the Obamacare rollout was a "debacle".
The rollout was troubled for multiple reasons; not only did the website not work right, but it turned out that Obama's three years of promises about people being able to keep their existing health insurance "no matter what" were lies that he found himself apologizing for in November.

4. The text of this October 1st prediction read "Transiting Jupiter conjoins Mars on Oct 3rd, suggesting that all concerned parties will be feeling too powerful and self-righteous to agree to any compromises until after that date has passed, so I won't be expecting any resolution in the next few days. But then on Oct 10, converse transiting Saturn trines the Moon, and three days later, direct transiting Saturn trines the Sun, suggesting that their self-righteous militancy is replaced by a more productive and pragmatic approach sometime around the 10th - 13th."

This prediction was so spot-on accurate that it pinpointed the exact day negotiations began. After the shutdown, the two sides refused to even sit down and talk together for many days, with Obama making media statements almost every day reminding everyone that he would not negotiate. Even nine days after the shutdown began, talks had still not started yet; on Oct 9, 214 House Republicans refused to even go discuss the matter with Obama. But then just as predicted, talks began the very next day on October 10th when Obama and the GOP finally started negotiations.

5. The text of the 10/2 prediction read, "The P2 chart has Moon semisextile Venus on Oct 11 and Mercury sextile Venus on Oct 16, suggesting a slight improvement in the situation then. The Mercury-Venus sextile indicates that the rejected discussions will occur then and the Moon aspect suggests that the nation's mood will get a slight lift." And the 10/5 prediction read : "there would be some improvement in the government standoff around Oct 11th - 16th."
https://www.facebook.com/groups/205145769627106/permalink/299935653481450/?comment_id=300320756776273&offset=0&total_comments=16

After negotiations finally began around the 11th, Congress finally reached an agreement on Oct 16th, which was, once again, exactly the date predicted two weeks earlier. But as indicated with the words "some improvement" and "a slight lift", it was not a complete solution to the crisis, as it just kicked the can down the road a few more months, even though it did end the crisis for the moment.

6. The text of the 10/4 prediction read, "Some progress is made with this crisis around the 10th-11th, but the 17th-18th (the default deadline) are still very high-stress periods, so whether or not we go over that cliff, I'm guessing we at least edge right up to it." And the 10/5 prediction read, "there would be some improvement in the government standoff around Oct 11th - 16th, but we might still come very close to the default date of Oct 17th before things start calming down."
https://www.facebook.com/groups/205145769627106/permalink/299935653481450/?comment_id=301002083374807&offset=0&total_comments=16

Just as predicted, the crisis went right up to the very edge of the default deadline. Obama signed the bill reopening the government less than 24 hours before the deadline.

The US came within mere hours of defaulting but was rescued at the last moment, just as predicted. http://www.chicagotribune.com/news/chi-government-shutdown-20131016,0,1118789.story
8. The text of this October 1st prediction read, "the 7th ruler conjunct Saturn does not seem indicative of an agreement so much as of a postponement or delay, so I am guessing that this period will see a temporary stopgap measure rather than a true resolution of the crisis, but one sufficient at least to avoid government default on the 18th."
https://www.facebook.com/groups/mundaneastrologers/permalink/599616383413210/?comment_id=599880150053500&offset=0&total_comments=6
The 11th hour agreement was exactly that - a temporary stopgap measure that did not resolve the fundamental dispute behind the shutdown - only funding the government until January 15th.

9. The text of this October 1st prediction read, "The Oct 12th LR features a wide Asc-Venus conjunction, with Sun in partile square to 8th house Jupiter, Asc in partile trine to Uranus, and Moon trine MC, which together suggest a substantial easing of tensions at the very least during this period (Oct 12 - Nov 8) . But the Sun-Jupiter square suggests an uneasy increase in debt."

The October 16th agreement suspended the debt ceiling instead of outright raising it, and the national debt shot up immediately as a result, breaking $17 trillion for the first time in history.

10. The text of this October 1st prediction read, "The Nov 8th LR features Sun conjunct Saturn, Node, and Mercury in the 7th, in sextile to the MC , suggesting that the opposition party (Republicans) are standing firm in a position of strength in November, while the 10th house Moon suggests that President Obama comes across as being in a weaker and more vulnerable position in November, and possibly more willing to compromise than he had been previously.

It seemed very counter-intuitive to predict that Obama would appear weak in November, after he just won the staredown contest with the Republicans over the shutdown in October. But ever since November started, Obama's been doing an awful lot of telling us how sorry he is and making concessions for his errors. He's been apologizing for the NSA spying, apologizing for not knowing about the NSA spying, apologizing for not knowing about the Obamacare rollout glitches, and most recently, on 11/7/2013, apologizing for Americans not being able to keep their health care plans after he promised them for three straight years that they could. A Reuters story even called Obama "contrite".
As November began, Obama found himself clearly on the defensive, under heavy diplomatic fire from Germany's Merkel and several other foreign leaders about the NSA spying scandal. News reports featured a humbled Obama claiming he had no knowledge of the NSA spying on our European allies, and promising to cut back on the US spying practices that offended them. Obama made concessions to stop NSA spying on Merkel and other leaders in Europe, as well as stopping NSA spying on the UN in New York.
In addition to making those humiliating concessions, Obama was also making humbling media apologies for the Obamacare rollout fiasco, claiming he had no idea things would be so bad. These aren't the first times Obama used the "I didn't know" excuse. First, there was the IRS scandal, then Sebelius claimed the president didn't know about the Obamacare problems, and then Obama insisted he didn't know that his own spies were routinely targeting our allies. It is unclear how someone whose legacy rests on the success of Obamacare could have been caught off-guard by the rollout's glaring shortcomings, and coupled with his apparent ignorance of the NSA eavesdropping as well, gives the unfortunate impression this fall of Obama as a weak and ineffective leader.
Meanwhile, on 11/6/2013, Israeli Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu openly accused Obama of being excessively weak and yielding. When he met US Secretary of State John Kerry in Jerusalem that evening to discuss US plans to reduce Iranian sanctions while still allowing them to refine uranium, Netanyahu "bitterly accused the Obama administration of yielding to the Russian-backed Iranian position."
It was just as counter-intuitive to suggest that the Republicans would be in a position of strength in November after losing the shutdown standoff in October, but that is what happened anyway. The Republicans have been using the congressional inquiry on the Obamacare rollout problems to put great pressure on the administration, and they are also exercising their strength by opposing Obama's plan to make a deal with Iran, by trying to strengthen sanctions right when Obama wants them lowered.

11. The 9/7/2013 prediction read "The P2s clearly reflect conflict, dispute, and unrest in the USA this fall." The text of the 9/20/2013 prediction read, "the government will suffer continued disruption, disorganization, and noncooperation through at least mid-October."And the 9/22 prediction read, "I expect very unsettled and possibly even dangerous times here in the states for the remainder of the year ... Things may get tumultuous here in the states over the next three months".

America has been very unsettled and tumultuous lately indeed. Since these predictions were posted, the US became embroiled in three separate crises at virtually the same time: (1) a stubborn congressional budget conflict that disrupted government services for 16 days because the Democrats and Republicans refused to cooperate with one another, (2) US foreign relations were disrupted by the worst diplomatic crisis in years when shocking new revelations about NSA spying emerged, and (3) the disorganized and dysfunctional rollout of Obamacare became an embarrassing scandal for the administration.
This September, October, and November have brought extreme turbulence in America's foreign relations with an astounding number of nations, including Syria, Iran, Israel, Egypt, Pakistan, Saudi Arabia, Mexico, Venezuela, Brazil, Argentina, Austria, Bolivia, Cuba, Ecuador, Guyana, Hungary, India, Indonesia, Norway, Paraguay, South Africa, Sweden, Switzerland, Germany, France, Italy, Spain, the Vatican, and the UN.
The sudden reversal on September 9 of US plans to bomb Syria, along with Obama's historic thawing of US-Iranian relations on September 27, infuriated our regional ally Saudi Arabia, who reacted so strongly to these changes in US foreign affairs that they announced on October 22nd that they were making a major policy shift away from the US in response. A month later, the Saudis became even more furious over a US plan to cut a deal that would allow Iran to continue enriching uranium with sanctions relief. In response, the Saudis threatened to obtain their own nuclear weapons from Pakistan, and on 11/7/2013, the BBC reported that atomic weapons earmarked for Riyadh are now ready for delivery.
The proposed Iranian deal also outraged Israel, creating a diplomatic "superstorm" between US and its closest Middle East ally. Netanyahu, said to be "furious" and "in shock" over the proposed plan, warned 11/7/2013 that adopting the Iranian nuclear deal would be a "mistake of historic proportions". US-Israeli ties were further strained on 10/31/2013 when the US betrayed Israel's confidence by exposing their secret strike on a Syrian military base, and again on 11/7/2013 when US Secretary of State John Kerry sharply criticized Israel's decision to expand settlements in East Jerusalem, saying it sends a message that Israel is "not really serious" about the peace process, an assessment that Israeli media described as a "heavy slap in Netanyahu's face."
Meanwhile, Mexico, France, Sweden, Brazil, and Germany each summoned their US Ambassadors to protest the new NSA spying revelations in October, and many nations in the EU pressed for a unified European response to the NSA spying scandal. On October 25, it was revealed that the NSA had spied on the leaders of at least 35 different nations, and the very next day, Brazil and Germany signed up an additional 19 nations for an anti-NSA resolution in the UN. The NSA spying shook US-German ties so severely that German leaders sought private audiences with US fugitive and NSA whistleblower Edward Snowden, in a direct snub at Obama and the US.
When the US cut off Egypt's foreign aid on 10/9/2013, it marked a dramatic policy break from years of unqualified support for Cairo. Obama froze deliveries of military aid to Egypt, including Apache helicopters, F-16 fighter jets, M1A1 Abrams tank parts and Harpoon missiles, along with hundreds of millions of dollars in cash. Egypt was not amused, and turned to strengthen its relations with US arch-rival Russia in response.
US foreign relations were further strained this fall when Venezuela and the US threw out each others' diplomats on 9/30/2013 and 10/1/2013, and when a US drone strike killed Pakistan's Taliban leader Hakimullah Mehsud on 11/1/2013, Pakistan's foreign ministry made a formal protest to US ambassador Richard Olson, further straining ties between the two nations.
A historic shakeup occurred in the US military this fall when several generals and other high-ranking officials were fired under what many viewed as questionable circumstances. A historic shakeup in the banking industry occurred on 10/9/2013 when Obama nominated Janet Yellen to head the Fed, making her the first female ever to break into the former all-boys club of central bank presidents. On October 11th , thousands of US welfare recipients in 17 states got shook up when the EBT food stamp computer system suffered a historically unprecedented malfunction for a few hours, causing rioting, looting, and unrest to simultaneously break out in multiple locations across the nation. And in the first rail accident in the area in over a century, the ground shook on 11/8/2013 when a 90-car train carrying 64,000 barrels of crude oil derailed and exploded in rural Alabama, throwing flames 300 feet high that could be seen from over ten miles away.
However, of all the scandals, crises, disruptions, upsets, and shakeups that have hit the US since September, the one that may have made the biggest impact on the general population arrived on November 8th, when 48 million Americans living near or below the poverty line had their food stamps cut by 13.6%. The CEO of America's largest food bank issued warnings that these massive cuts could lead to nationwide riots.

12. The text of this September 21st prediction read "it will surprise me if we don't see some fairly substantial protests pop up here in the states over the next three months, and if they do, all that Mars energy strongly suggests that those protests will include some violence. With all that Mars and Uranus energy, we could see more high-profile public shootings like the one in Washington DC. "
https://www.facebook.com/groups/mundaneastrologers/permalink/594852517222930
The highly disruptive government shutdown in October was essentially a nationwide Republican protest against Obamacare, and it generated additional protests while it was going on, including all those veterans' groups who made headlines by breaking through the barricades of Washington DC war memorials during the shutdown. Both the failed rollout of Obamacare and the NSA spying scandal continue to generate a great deal of high-profile public protests both at home and abroad. The formal diplomatic protests of Germany's Merkel and several other foreign leaders who learned that the NSA was spying on their personal phone calls have made countless headlines in recent weeks.
In October, Saudi Arabia sharply protested Obama's reversals on bombing Syria and engaging Iran, while Egypt protested Obama's foreign aid embargo just as vehemently. Venezuela protested against the US by expelling US diplomats on 10/1, and Fitch Ratings protested against the shutdown by putting the US on ratings watch negative status on 10/15. Someone set himself on fire in Washington DC as a political protest on 10/4, and the 11/1 murder of a TSA agent at LAX was a political protest as well. And both Israel and Saudi Arabia shrilly protested Obama's Iranian proposal in November.
Washington DC has seen a steady parade of massive public protests in recent weeks. On October 13th and 14th, several thousand US Veterans converged on Washington DC in the "Million Vet March" protesting the closed war memorials; they were joined by truckers left over from the Ride for the Constitution protest days earlier. On October 26th, several thousand more protestors rallied again in Washington DC, protesting the NSA's domestic and international surveillance. On November 5th, the group Anonymous held a "Million Mask March" in New York City, Washington DC, and over 400 other cities around the globe, protesting against corruption, corporate malfeasance and the expanding surveillance state. And on November 4th, the world saw its largest anti-American protests in several years, when over ten thousand Iranian protestors chanting "Death to America" converged on the former US Embassy in Tehran.
The last few months certainly brought the predicted rash of high-profile public deaths, shootings, and mass murders in the US as well, including the mass shooting murder of twelve victims at the Washington DC Naval Yard on 9/16, another mass public shooting of thirteen victims at a Chicago park on 9/19, a woman who was shot to death in her car by Washington DC police after driving through a government barricade on 10/3, a man who set himself on fire in a Washington DC protest on 10/4, a school shooting murder of two victims at Sparks Middle School in Nevada on 10/21, a public school teacher killed by her student at Danvers High in Massachusetts on 10/23, a mass shooting murder of five victims in Phoenix on 10/26, another mass murder of six victims in South Carolina three days later, multiple shootings and one murder of TSA agents at LAX on 11/1, a shooting lockdown inside New Jersey's largest shopping mall on 11/4/2013, and another public shooting with three victims dead and seven more injured in a Detroit barbershop shooting on 11/6/2013.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/November_2013 What comes next? America's next crisis arrives in January.
When the Syria chemical weapons crisis was going on in September, a handful of these astrologers did have the courage to climb out on a limb and publicly guess whether or not the US would end up bombing Syria or not. But to a man, they all guessed wrong. None of them seemed to have any inkling that America's worst diplomatic crisis in decades was just weeks away, nor did any of them go on the record with any predictions about whether or not the government would go into shutdown on October 1st, nor when that shutdown might end, nor whether the US would end up going into default.
In contrast, this is the documented log of my own predictions and warnings about these crises and scandals. Between September 7th and October 5th, 2013, I posted several public dated predictions about US affairs between September 2013 and January 2014, several of which nailed the exact dates of specific events. This log contains time-stamped links to those original predictions, followed by links to news reports of the events fulfilling those predictions.
1. The USA would not attack Syria over the Ghouta chemical weapons attack if it didn't do it before September 15th (Posted September 8th)
2. The US Government would go into shutdown in October. (Posted September 20th and 22nd)
3. October's long-anticipated Obamacare Marketplace rollout would be a big disorganized mess. (Posted September 21st)
4. There would be no progress in the government shutdown negotiations before October 10th. (Posted October 1st)
5. Government shutdown negotiations would finally start to show progress between October 11th - 16th. (Posted October 2nd and October 5th)
6. The shutdown crisis would continue right up to the edge of the October 17th default deadline. (Posted October 4th and October 5th )
7. The USA would not go into default. (Posted October 1st)
8. The government would adopt a stopgap measure that postponed the budget crisis without solving it. (Posted October 1st)
9. The government would increase the national debt between October 12 - November 8 . (Posted October 1st)
10. Obama would be in a weaker and more vulnerable position in November. (Posted October 1st)
11. The last three months of 2013 would be especially unsettled and tumultuous for the USA. While the US government would suffer from disruption, disorganization, and noncooperation in October specifically, the nation would suffer from conflict, disputes, and unrest throughout the entire period. (Posted September 7th, September 20th, and September 22nd)
12. There would be multiple high-profile protests and public shootings during the last three months of 2013. (Posted September 21st)
The elephant in the room is, why didn't any of the other astrologers in these groups foresee these crises and scandals and issue warnings about them as well?
Results
1. The text of this September 8th prediction read "The Lunar Returns for the Liberty Chart do not support the conclusion that we will engage Syria unless we do it before Sep 15."

After first being extremely gung-ho about bombing Syria in response to the 8/21/2013 Ghouta attacks, Obama did a sudden and surprising about-face just one day after I posted this prediction. On 9/9/2013, Secretary of State John Kerry suggested that Syria turn over all of its chemical weapons within a week. At the time, the U.S. and France headed a coalition of countries that was right on the verge of carrying out air strikes on Syria, but Kerry's off-the-cuff suggestion received an unexpectedly swift and positive response from Russia and Syria, and U.S.-Russian negotiations led to an agreement that quickly tabled Obama's plans to attack Syria. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Destruction_of_Syria%27s_chemical_weapons
2. The text of this September 22nd prediction read, "I expect very unsettled and possibly even dangerous times here in the states for the remainder of the year. I expect to see a real stubborn fight develop over the budget, with no one backing down or compromising much, and a lot of fallout from that, including that partial shutdown of the government they are all on about now."

The shutdown occurred as predicted. Several members of various astrology groups acknowledged that I made this successful prediction and congratulated me for my good astrological work, including the well-publicized astrologer Theodore White and several others.

3. The text of this September 21st prediction read, "I also expect to see a real mess with the opening of the Obamacare marketplace."
https://www.facebook.com/groups/mundaneastrologers/permalink/594852517222930/
The opening of Obamacare turned out to be so extremely screwed up that it led to a Congressional inquiry. Obama himself ended up angrily condemning it and apologizing for it, saying the rollout "stunk", that there was "no excuse" for it and that it was "unacceptable". The woman Obama put in charge of the rollout, Kathleen Sebelius, went so far as to declare before Congress that the Obamacare rollout was a "debacle".
The rollout was troubled for multiple reasons; not only did the website not work right, but it turned out that Obama's three years of promises about people being able to keep their existing health insurance "no matter what" were lies that he found himself apologizing for in November.

4. The text of this October 1st prediction read "Transiting Jupiter conjoins Mars on Oct 3rd, suggesting that all concerned parties will be feeling too powerful and self-righteous to agree to any compromises until after that date has passed, so I won't be expecting any resolution in the next few days. But then on Oct 10, converse transiting Saturn trines the Moon, and three days later, direct transiting Saturn trines the Sun, suggesting that their self-righteous militancy is replaced by a more productive and pragmatic approach sometime around the 10th - 13th."

This prediction was so spot-on accurate that it pinpointed the exact day negotiations began. After the shutdown, the two sides refused to even sit down and talk together for many days, with Obama making media statements almost every day reminding everyone that he would not negotiate. Even nine days after the shutdown began, talks had still not started yet; on Oct 9, 214 House Republicans refused to even go discuss the matter with Obama. But then just as predicted, talks began the very next day on October 10th when Obama and the GOP finally started negotiations.

5. The text of the 10/2 prediction read, "The P2 chart has Moon semisextile Venus on Oct 11 and Mercury sextile Venus on Oct 16, suggesting a slight improvement in the situation then. The Mercury-Venus sextile indicates that the rejected discussions will occur then and the Moon aspect suggests that the nation's mood will get a slight lift." And the 10/5 prediction read : "there would be some improvement in the government standoff around Oct 11th - 16th."
https://www.facebook.com/groups/205145769627106/permalink/299935653481450/?comment_id=300320756776273&offset=0&total_comments=16

After negotiations finally began around the 11th, Congress finally reached an agreement on Oct 16th, which was, once again, exactly the date predicted two weeks earlier. But as indicated with the words "some improvement" and "a slight lift", it was not a complete solution to the crisis, as it just kicked the can down the road a few more months, even though it did end the crisis for the moment.
http://www.chicagotribune.com/news/chi-government-shutdown-20131016,0,1118789.story
6. The text of the 10/4 prediction read, "Some progress is made with this crisis around the 10th-11th, but the 17th-18th (the default deadline) are still very high-stress periods, so whether or not we go over that cliff, I'm guessing we at least edge right up to it." And the 10/5 prediction read, "there would be some improvement in the government standoff around Oct 11th - 16th, but we might still come very close to the default date of Oct 17th before things start calming down."
https://www.facebook.com/groups/205145769627106/permalink/299935653481450/?comment_id=301002083374807&offset=0&total_comments=16

Just as predicted, the crisis went right up to the very edge of the default deadline. Obama signed the bill reopening the government less than 24 hours before the deadline.

The US came within mere hours of defaulting but was rescued at the last moment, just as predicted. http://www.chicagotribune.com/news/chi-government-shutdown-20131016,0,1118789.story
8. The text of this October 1st prediction read, "the 7th ruler conjunct Saturn does not seem indicative of an agreement so much as of a postponement or delay, so I am guessing that this period will see a temporary stopgap measure rather than a true resolution of the crisis, but one sufficient at least to avoid government default on the 18th."
https://www.facebook.com/groups/mundaneastrologers/permalink/599616383413210/?comment_id=599880150053500&offset=0&total_comments=6
The 11th hour agreement was exactly that - a temporary stopgap measure that did not resolve the fundamental dispute behind the shutdown - only funding the government until January 15th.

9. The text of this October 1st prediction read, "The Oct 12th LR features a wide Asc-Venus conjunction, with Sun in partile square to 8th house Jupiter, Asc in partile trine to Uranus, and Moon trine MC, which together suggest a substantial easing of tensions at the very least during this period (Oct 12 - Nov 8) . But the Sun-Jupiter square suggests an uneasy increase in debt."

The October 16th agreement suspended the debt ceiling instead of outright raising it, and the national debt shot up immediately as a result, breaking $17 trillion for the first time in history.

10. The text of this October 1st prediction read, "The Nov 8th LR features Sun conjunct Saturn, Node, and Mercury in the 7th, in sextile to the MC , suggesting that the opposition party (Republicans) are standing firm in a position of strength in November, while the 10th house Moon suggests that President Obama comes across as being in a weaker and more vulnerable position in November, and possibly more willing to compromise than he had been previously.

It seemed very counter-intuitive to predict that Obama would appear weak in November, after he just won the staredown contest with the Republicans over the shutdown in October. But ever since November started, Obama's been doing an awful lot of telling us how sorry he is and making concessions for his errors. He's been apologizing for the NSA spying, apologizing for not knowing about the NSA spying, apologizing for not knowing about the Obamacare rollout glitches, and most recently, on 11/7/2013, apologizing for Americans not being able to keep their health care plans after he promised them for three straight years that they could. A Reuters story even called Obama "contrite".
As November began, Obama found himself clearly on the defensive, under heavy diplomatic fire from Germany's Merkel and several other foreign leaders about the NSA spying scandal. News reports featured a humbled Obama claiming he had no knowledge of the NSA spying on our European allies, and promising to cut back on the US spying practices that offended them. Obama made concessions to stop NSA spying on Merkel and other leaders in Europe, as well as stopping NSA spying on the UN in New York.
In addition to making those humiliating concessions, Obama was also making humbling media apologies for the Obamacare rollout fiasco, claiming he had no idea things would be so bad. These aren't the first times Obama used the "I didn't know" excuse. First, there was the IRS scandal, then Sebelius claimed the president didn't know about the Obamacare problems, and then Obama insisted he didn't know that his own spies were routinely targeting our allies. It is unclear how someone whose legacy rests on the success of Obamacare could have been caught off-guard by the rollout's glaring shortcomings, and coupled with his apparent ignorance of the NSA eavesdropping as well, gives the unfortunate impression this fall of Obama as a weak and ineffective leader.
Meanwhile, on 11/6/2013, Israeli Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu openly accused Obama of being excessively weak and yielding. When he met US Secretary of State John Kerry in Jerusalem that evening to discuss US plans to reduce Iranian sanctions while still allowing them to refine uranium, Netanyahu "bitterly accused the Obama administration of yielding to the Russian-backed Iranian position."
It was just as counter-intuitive to suggest that the Republicans would be in a position of strength in November after losing the shutdown standoff in October, but that is what happened anyway. The Republicans have been using the congressional inquiry on the Obamacare rollout problems to put great pressure on the administration, and they are also exercising their strength by opposing Obama's plan to make a deal with Iran, by trying to strengthen sanctions right when Obama wants them lowered.

11. The 9/7/2013 prediction read "The P2s clearly reflect conflict, dispute, and unrest in the USA this fall." The text of the 9/20/2013 prediction read, "the government will suffer continued disruption, disorganization, and noncooperation through at least mid-October."And the 9/22 prediction read, "I expect very unsettled and possibly even dangerous times here in the states for the remainder of the year ... Things may get tumultuous here in the states over the next three months".

America has been very unsettled and tumultuous lately indeed. Since these predictions were posted, the US became embroiled in three separate crises at virtually the same time: (1) a stubborn congressional budget conflict that disrupted government services for 16 days because the Democrats and Republicans refused to cooperate with one another, (2) US foreign relations were disrupted by the worst diplomatic crisis in years when shocking new revelations about NSA spying emerged, and (3) the disorganized and dysfunctional rollout of Obamacare became an embarrassing scandal for the administration.
This September, October, and November have brought extreme turbulence in America's foreign relations with an astounding number of nations, including Syria, Iran, Israel, Egypt, Pakistan, Saudi Arabia, Mexico, Venezuela, Brazil, Argentina, Austria, Bolivia, Cuba, Ecuador, Guyana, Hungary, India, Indonesia, Norway, Paraguay, South Africa, Sweden, Switzerland, Germany, France, Italy, Spain, the Vatican, and the UN.
The sudden reversal on September 9 of US plans to bomb Syria, along with Obama's historic thawing of US-Iranian relations on September 27, infuriated our regional ally Saudi Arabia, who reacted so strongly to these changes in US foreign affairs that they announced on October 22nd that they were making a major policy shift away from the US in response. A month later, the Saudis became even more furious over a US plan to cut a deal that would allow Iran to continue enriching uranium with sanctions relief. In response, the Saudis threatened to obtain their own nuclear weapons from Pakistan, and on 11/7/2013, the BBC reported that atomic weapons earmarked for Riyadh are now ready for delivery.
The proposed Iranian deal also outraged Israel, creating a diplomatic "superstorm" between US and its closest Middle East ally. Netanyahu, said to be "furious" and "in shock" over the proposed plan, warned 11/7/2013 that adopting the Iranian nuclear deal would be a "mistake of historic proportions". US-Israeli ties were further strained on 10/31/2013 when the US betrayed Israel's confidence by exposing their secret strike on a Syrian military base, and again on 11/7/2013 when US Secretary of State John Kerry sharply criticized Israel's decision to expand settlements in East Jerusalem, saying it sends a message that Israel is "not really serious" about the peace process, an assessment that Israeli media described as a "heavy slap in Netanyahu's face."
Meanwhile, Mexico, France, Sweden, Brazil, and Germany each summoned their US Ambassadors to protest the new NSA spying revelations in October, and many nations in the EU pressed for a unified European response to the NSA spying scandal. On October 25, it was revealed that the NSA had spied on the leaders of at least 35 different nations, and the very next day, Brazil and Germany signed up an additional 19 nations for an anti-NSA resolution in the UN. The NSA spying shook US-German ties so severely that German leaders sought private audiences with US fugitive and NSA whistleblower Edward Snowden, in a direct snub at Obama and the US.
When the US cut off Egypt's foreign aid on 10/9/2013, it marked a dramatic policy break from years of unqualified support for Cairo. Obama froze deliveries of military aid to Egypt, including Apache helicopters, F-16 fighter jets, M1A1 Abrams tank parts and Harpoon missiles, along with hundreds of millions of dollars in cash. Egypt was not amused, and turned to strengthen its relations with US arch-rival Russia in response.
US foreign relations were further strained this fall when Venezuela and the US threw out each others' diplomats on 9/30/2013 and 10/1/2013, and when a US drone strike killed Pakistan's Taliban leader Hakimullah Mehsud on 11/1/2013, Pakistan's foreign ministry made a formal protest to US ambassador Richard Olson, further straining ties between the two nations.
A historic shakeup occurred in the US military this fall when several generals and other high-ranking officials were fired under what many viewed as questionable circumstances. A historic shakeup in the banking industry occurred on 10/9/2013 when Obama nominated Janet Yellen to head the Fed, making her the first female ever to break into the former all-boys club of central bank presidents. On October 11th , thousands of US welfare recipients in 17 states got shook up when the EBT food stamp computer system suffered a historically unprecedented malfunction for a few hours, causing rioting, looting, and unrest to simultaneously break out in multiple locations across the nation. And in the first rail accident in the area in over a century, the ground shook on 11/8/2013 when a 90-car train carrying 64,000 barrels of crude oil derailed and exploded in rural Alabama, throwing flames 300 feet high that could be seen from over ten miles away.
However, of all the scandals, crises, disruptions, upsets, and shakeups that have hit the US since September, the one that may have made the biggest impact on the general population arrived on November 8th, when 48 million Americans living near or below the poverty line had their food stamps cut by 13.6%. The CEO of America's largest food bank issued warnings that these massive cuts could lead to nationwide riots.

12. The text of this September 21st prediction read "it will surprise me if we don't see some fairly substantial protests pop up here in the states over the next three months, and if they do, all that Mars energy strongly suggests that those protests will include some violence. With all that Mars and Uranus energy, we could see more high-profile public shootings like the one in Washington DC. "

The highly disruptive government shutdown in October was essentially a nationwide Republican protest against Obamacare, and it generated additional protests while it was going on, including all those veterans' groups who made headlines by breaking through the barricades of Washington DC war memorials during the shutdown. Both the failed rollout of Obamacare and the NSA spying scandal continue to generate a great deal of high-profile public protests both at home and abroad. The formal diplomatic protests of Germany's Merkel and several other foreign leaders who learned that the NSA was spying on their personal phone calls have made countless headlines in recent weeks.
In October, Saudi Arabia sharply protested Obama's reversals on bombing Syria and engaging Iran, while Egypt protested Obama's foreign aid embargo just as vehemently. Venezuela protested against the US by expelling US diplomats on 10/1, and Fitch Ratings protested against the shutdown by putting the US on ratings watch negative status on 10/15. Someone set himself on fire in Washington DC as a political protest on 10/4, and the 11/1 murder of a TSA agent at LAX was a political protest as well. And both Israel and Saudi Arabia shrilly protested Obama's Iranian proposal in November.
Washington DC has seen a steady parade of massive public protests in recent weeks. On October 13th and 14th, several thousand US Veterans converged on Washington DC in the "Million Vet March" protesting the closed war memorials; they were joined by truckers left over from the Ride for the Constitution protest days earlier. On October 26th, several thousand more protestors rallied again in Washington DC, protesting the NSA's domestic and international surveillance. On November 5th, the group Anonymous held a "Million Mask March" in New York City, Washington DC, and over 400 other cities around the globe, protesting against corruption, corporate malfeasance and the expanding surveillance state. And on November 4th, the world saw its largest anti-American protests in several years, when over ten thousand Iranian protestors chanting "Death to America" converged on the former US Embassy in Tehran.
The last few months certainly brought the predicted rash of high-profile public deaths, shootings, and mass murders in the US as well, including the mass shooting murder of twelve victims at the Washington DC Naval Yard on 9/16, another mass public shooting of thirteen victims at a Chicago park on 9/19, a woman who was shot to death in her car by Washington DC police after driving through a government barricade on 10/3, a man who set himself on fire in a Washington DC protest on 10/4, a school shooting murder of two victims at Sparks Middle School in Nevada on 10/21, a public school teacher killed by her student at Danvers High in Massachusetts on 10/23, a mass shooting murder of five victims in Phoenix on 10/26, another mass murder of six victims in South Carolina three days later, multiple shootings and one murder of TSA agents at LAX on 11/1, a shooting lockdown inside New Jersey's largest shopping mall on 11/4/2013, and another public shooting with three victims dead and seven more injured in a Detroit barbershop shooting on 11/6/2013.
