Cheat Sheet for "Conflict Transits" in the United States Natal Chart
On the subject of the economy and a 2nd American Civil War
Watch my complete video on the astrology of United States history and why conflict and war has been such an integral part of the American experience as revealed in its natal chart:
I break down many historical correlations between the past, present and future through the lens of astrology, and there are many details which I’m not including in this post.
But below I’ve made a cheat sheet of the key upcoming transits (2026-2029) for reference. These transits are are in relation to the United States natal chart (July 4th 1776 - 17:10 - Philadelphia, PA).
Saturn Opposition Natal Saturn
June 15th 2026 - Sept. 7th 2026 // March 3rd 2027 - March 30th 2027
This transit will lay the foundation for a major reckoning with the health and viability of the American economy. A major economic collapse has been predicted since 2016 due to the national debt, lopsided stock market compared to the purchasing power of regular Americans, inflation, and the housing market.
This trajectory of the public ringing the alarm about the state of the economy began in 2011, when Saturn was conjunct Saturn in the natal chart of the US (”Saturn return”), and manifested in the Occupy Wall Street movement.
Unfortunately, none of the Occupy Wall St. reforms were made, and when Saturn goes into opposition of the natal Saturn position those reforms that were not made can cause a major collapse and/or realization that the status quo is unsustainable. If those reforms had been made, this would be the high point of a booming economy, but instead will be the high point of a dysfunctional economy.
It is important to note that this transit is a process, like the Occupy Wall St. movement was a process, and does not happen all at once on one day.
What can add more fuel to the fire is that Saturn is debilitated in Aries, meaning that the capacity for resilience and psychological tenacity during tough times is at a low point.
Also, note the Magic Triangle between Uranus, Neptune & Pluto, which creates a powerful collective subconscious deisre to create new systems, change or alter what may working, and to destroy what is no longer working, which I discuss in more detail here.
Jupiter/Saturn Vimshottari Dasa
Dec. 20th 2026 - July 2nd 2029
The most common timing schema (“dasa”) in Vedic astrology is called Vimshottari, and denotes when planets are “highlighted” in the natal chart in question, and the person/nation undergoes the effects of those planets as they are positioned in the chart.
Jupiter and Saturn are both exalted in the United States natal chart, which will make this a powerful time of change overall. For example, the first Jupiter/Saturn was the writing and ratification of the US Constitution, and the second Jupiter/Saturn period held the “Panic of 1907”, a banking crisis which was averted from a larger economic crisis by J.P. Morgan.
Jupiter is the 1st lord (the nation itself) and the 4th lord (the people in the nation, the territory, housing); Saturn is the 2nd lord (national resources, money) and the 3rd lord (communications, the internet, the news). This means all of these experiences will become important factors during this time period.
In addition, the active transits of Jupiter and Saturn in the sky as the interact with the US natal chart will be important.
So Saturn (natural indicator of debt, resilience, lordship over national resources and money) and Jupiter (natural indicator for wealth and abundance, lordship over housing) combined with the above Saturn opposition Saturn transit, all points to a major focus on the economy as well as major changes to the economic system (“Great Reset”, housing crisis, CBDCs, blockchain technology, a “new New Deal”)
Uranus Conjunct Natal Uranus
August 7th 2027 // October 23rd 2027 (R) // May 18th 2028
I show in the video that the last time Uranus was in this exact position in the zodiac (specifically 9°20’ Gemini) the first shots of the first Civil War were fired (April 12th 1861) and the United States invaded Normandy Beach in France (D-Day, June 6th 1944).
If the two previous instances of this transit (which happens approximately every 84 years) are any guide, this can be a time of high conflict and warfare.
I found another date, July 7th 2028, which includes a Mars return, Mercury trining the 8th lord Moon, and Uranus conjunct the 7th House cusp as another highly charged date that can indicate severe conflict:
