Peter Lorie and astrologer Liz Greene’s book Nostradamus is a fascinating read because it includes a chapter on the Plan for America as well as unique insights for the current era. I love how these ideas whirl together—ancient prophecies and astrology with our very human hopes, fears, and political machinations. In 2004, when transiting Uranus formed a conjunction to America’s Moon, Liz Greene predicted that the country will elect a female president or candidate. Carol Moseley Braun, a trailblazer, ran a bid for the presidency in that year.

Now, whether she was fated to be the first female nominee or simply part of a broader shift in women’s roles—well, that’s where prophecy and reality get tangled in a bit of  ambiguity. Greene’s prediction about Uranus conjunct America’s Moon is a time often linked to upheaval, rebellion, and breaking from tradition— it fits snugly with the idea of a female leader emerging. Uranus doesn’t play by the rules; it’s the agent provocateur.  Hence, Greene’s forecast wasn’t far-fetched—Uranus was urging a break from the past, a crack in the old emotional infrastructure, and that would have naturally extended to gender roles.

But while Carol Moseley Braun made her run in 2004, she didn’t quite make it to the nomination. However, that doesn’t negate the “significant shift” Greene was speaking of. Braun’s candidacy was, in many ways, a brick in the road that led to more visible female contenders—Hillary Clinton, Kamala Harris, Elizabeth Warren—all standing on the shoulders of those who dared to go first. It wasn’t just about one election but the trajectory—women’s status did shift, perhaps less in a dramatic explosion and more in a slow, tectonic evolution.

In addition, she claims that there is a fundamentalist religion, which would be indicative of a “breakdown” in emotional stability. Well, that feels eerily prescient. Especially post-2004, we’ve seen significant global movements where rigid ideologies—religious or otherwise—seem to be grappling for control in a world that’s growing ever more uncertain. When people feel unstable, they often cling to certainties, even dogmas.

The future, it turns out, is less a set of hard facts and more a series of shifting tides. And those tides, even when stirred by stars and seers, still depend on how we choose to swim.

The Following Are Some Predictions

2014-2016

Mars threatens us with its warlike strength, 70 times will he cause blood to flow: fall and ruin of the clergy and more for those who wish to understand nothing from them. The scythe joined to the pond towards Sagittarius at the height of its ascendant, plague, famine, death by military hand: the century approaches its renewal. For 40 years, the Iris will not appear, for 40 years it will be seen every day: the arid earth will grow drier and great floods when it will appear.

If we remember, we applied this to the precise date of January 16th, 2015, using the reference to the pond and the scythe at the ascendant of Sagittarius. Once again, according to the natal time in our birth chart for America the ascendant is Sagittarius, which means Saturn will cross the country’s ascendant during this period, a time therefore of great soul searching and having to come face-to-face with hard reality. In an individual, such a transit involves a redefinition of a whole life pattern, weeding out the unnecessary and consolidating. It is not necessarily a terrible configuration, but a sobering one. Saturn will also transit in opposition to America’s natal Uranus in Gemini, that suggests a reevaluation of all that was hitherto considered “free” in America. Another important transit during this same period is that which occurs as Pluto enters Capricorn, bringing it into opposition with America’s Venus, Jupiter and Sun all in cancer. This transit reflects a complete shift in America’s relationship with other countries, economically and through involvements such as NATO. It reflects conflict and competition on the economic and political level. Most importantly it reflects profound change in the nature of the government. Nostradamus: The Millennium and Beyond
