The Knight of Swords is the theme of the April 12th episode of the Celestial Insights podcast. And we saw it right away. As Mars met Neptune in Aries, the swords came out.
Eric Swalwell had been one of the front-runners for California governor, and then four women accused him of sexual assault. He tried a video confession, admitting to infidelity, but says everything was consensual. Calls for his resignation were deafening.
He dropped out of the race and resigned from Congress on Tuesday. That’s Knight of Swords. A quick, decisive decision was needed. And astrologically, his fall makes sense.
He’s in a Saturn opposition right now. Mid-40s transit. Everybody goes through it. It’s a reality check.
Hs natal Saturn in Libra is about accountability in relationships, agreements, and how you show up with other people. And opposition comes from the outside. Other people bring it to you. You don’t get to hide from it.
Saturn is in fall in Aries, and he had a spectacular one. For him, the Aries -Libra axis was personal actions meeting political consequences.
Mars in Aries is action. Neptune is fog, confusion, and sometimes scandal. You put those together, and things can get messy fast.
In this instance, the Knight of Swords dealt a career death blow.
