Pentagram
Uranus-Pluto Activation in the US Senate
The US Senate has a birth chart, cast for the day of its first quorum: 6 April 1789, New York, NY. As we continue to apply strict Minor Planet (MP) orbs of < 1°, I note with interest the following:
MP Senator conjunct Algol: let us hope this is more about Medusa’s “Head of Wisdom” than her less savory attributes.
MP Zelinsky perfectly conjunct MP Ukraine: what a surprise!
Pluto conjunct MP Black: dark dealings, a theme we will explore further down
Moon conjunct MP Waterloo: vulnerable to military downfall
Sun conjunct MP VIMS: an English homologue for “extort” in Ukrainian

Pentagram
I have applied Uranian harmonics to the US Senate chart (SEN) by adapting Bradley Cowan’s Pentagonal Time Cycle Theory. While Cowan focused his research on financial markets, I find his Uranian measurements can be valid with any chart when the pentagram is aligned to either transiting or natal Uranus. In the case of the SEN chart, I have calibrated the pentagram to it’s 0° Uranus.
It seems highly significant to me that the internal pentagram in the US Senate chart connects Uranus to MP Zelinsky and MP Ukraine, and that Pluto is casting a Uranian harmonic by transit to all three of these points right now.
Additional harmonic transits in support of the Ukrainian theme:
MP Deception: pentagonal and opposing SEN MP Zelinsky MP Ukraine
MP Zelinsky: pentagonal and applying to SEN Sun MP VIMS, as transiting MP VIMS and Chiron oppose SEN Neptune.
The Senate
Before we test the validity of MP VIMS to represent “extortion”, we must first ask the question: why would extortion even come to mind when thinking of the US Senate? Is it a meaningful theme? After all, Merriam Webster says extortion is “the act or practice of extorting especially money or other property; especially: the offense committed by an official engaging in such practice”.
But for the sake of argument, let’s assume we do have reason to look for the theme of extortion in the US Senate chart. What next? What do you do when there is no MP Extortion? Well, as my father would say, you use your noggin!
Caution: a “willy-nilly” approach to Minor Planet astrology will get you nowhere, and everywhere, very quickly. Experience has taught me that when pulling an obscure Minor Planet into a chart, it is best to have several very good reasons for doing so.
How to Choose a Minor Planet
Direct correspondence
MP Nanking for Treaty of Nanking
Extension
MP Zhongguo for China (Zhongguo is “China” in Chinese)
Implication
MP Morpheus for the Opium Wars (opium-derived morphine was named after Morpheus)
Be Careful with Orbs
Use orbs < 1°, unless the MP is in a very tight stellium.
From a chart related to our theme today, Ukraine’s jam-packed 7th house provides a good example:
MP Senator, MP Black, MP Buck, and MP Waterloo, all within 4°28’ of each other.
This stellium makes a tight trine to Ukraine’s MP VIMS at 26°Sagittarius, suggesting that US Senate “dark dollars” have a financial relationship to Ukraine through its 11th house MP VIMS. I wonder if this might be a reciprocal dynamic?
Unusual Ways to Find a Minor Planet
When the normal ways to find a Minor Planet fail to yield results, don’t give up. The IAU Minor Planet List is an international database, and spellings often differ from their English equivalents:
Searching for “Socrates” will fail, but “Sokrates” works.
I’ve also found instances where an MP name “sounds like” the target term:
“Liszt” for “list”
MP VIMS sounds like the root of the Ukrainian word for “extort” vymahaty.
MP VIMS: Does it work for “extortion”?
Let’s use Ukraine as a related chart to test the validity of MP VIMS, which we first noticed on the US Senate Sun, shown here in close proximity to its MP Volodymyr and MP MANIAC.
(UKR) Ukraine, 24 August 1991, 6:00 p.m., Kiev, UA.
Ukraine has long been known as the money-laundering capitol of the world. See how MP VIMS, for “extortion”, is significantly placed in the 11th house of gains at the tip of a powerful Yod from MP Volodymyr and Algol, “Volodymyr” being Zelensky’s first name, of course.
To Chinese astronomers, Algol was known as Tseih She or “Piled-up Corpses.” This Yod perfectly combines both the mechanism for profit (extortion) and the true cost of this war with its staggering loss of life.
Remember that SEN MP Senator is also on Algol.
Dark and Plutonic: the Senate’s Black Yod
Having verified MP VIMS in a related chart, let’s turn our attention back to the US Senate chart where we see the perfect conjunction of SEN Pluto and MP Black at 18° Aquarius, in sextile to SEN Sun MP VIMS at 16/17°Aries.
When two planets are in sextile, their position implies a Yod drawn from their midpoint, in this case, to 17/18° Virgo. I have found that when a significant synastry populates this point, the Yod will be expressed.
We can imagine that extortion (MP VIMS) and dark money (Pluto MP Black) have, on occasion, found expression when the Senate’s Black Yod was completed. As President Eisenhauer warned, “Beware the Military-Industrial complex.”
Here are some examples to illustrate:
Pearl Harbor NN at 18° Virgo: fulcrum to nullify civilian war hesitancy
Japan (Meiji) MP Senator at 17° Virgo: some in the Senate must have known
General George Patton MP Yen at 18° Virgo: he knew about the “take”. In 1937 Patton, then an intelligence officer, warned about attack on Pearl .1
Twin Towers Attack Sun on MP 911 at 18° Virgo: surely someone knew
Voldymyr Zelensky’s MP Bucks at 18° Virgo: seems quite apt
Although his connection to the US Senate is obscure, I find it fascinating that infamous Ukrainian arms dealer, Leonid Minin, has MP Black at this point, as well.
“Ukraine once held the Soviet Union’s arsenal valued at a staggering $90 billion after the Union’s dissolution, according to the International Institute for Strategic Studies. Dževad Galijašević a former intelligence officer in Bosnia, witnessed how weapons from Leonid Minin ended up in the hands of mujahideen during the Bosnian war.”2
The Last Word: MP Waterloo
Named for Napoleon’s defining loss, MP Waterloo carries the image of military downfall at the hands of a tactically superior enemy. Keep in mind that the both the US Senate and Ukraine have exact aspects to MP Waterloo in their respective charts, and across their synastry.
UKR Moon opposite MP Waterloo: instrumental in the downfall of a partner
SEN Moon conjunct MP Waterloo: Achilles heel, military-related downfall
UKR Sun Venus on SEN Moon MP Waterloo: will a spotlight on Ukraine’s funding cause a downfall for the Senate?
Thank you for your time spent reading this post. I hope it encourages you to use the Minor Planets in your own work. Your comments and suggestions are always welcome.

Thank you, Margaret. I'll let MP 911 know that he's your favorite. MP MANIAC will be SO jealous!
Brilliant work - my favorite part: "Twin Towers Attack Sun on MP 911 at 18° Virgo: surely someone knew!" Fact can be way more unbelievable than fiction sometimes!
