I love reading your analysis; always gets me thinking, observing, outside my little world. When I looked at the New Moon chart for DC, I had some immediate associations. Capricorn rising--government focus. Pluto in first in Aquarius--is this our steps into the new self after our country's Pluto return crisis? The new US? The big stellium in the second shows the focus on budget--the first part of the national budget passed both chambers, funding over 6,000 departments of the government. Money time. In Pisces, I think a lot of aid to "the people," humanities and our institutions. Aid to masses of starving people? Jupiter in the third, continued foreign travel for our sec of state and others, in this world that is on edge. I never like to see Mars square Uranus, but there it is. We don't get by without some awful destructive event. Prominent.
Yes, great catch on the US budget and the 2nd house stellium for the DC New Moon chart. I haven't been following that drama too closely this time because it has been repeated so many times that I don't take it seriously anymore — it's not ideal that I have gotten to this point, but that's where I am. It would be interesting to get the dates of previous cliffhanger moments of this sort and see what the adjacent DC New Moon/Full Moon charts looked like, if there is a pattern of 2nd house emphasis. This time around, though, Neptune is pretty close to the Sun and the Moon, emphasizing the theater of the whole thing. I recently learned the word "kayfabe," referring to the fake fights of professional wrestling, and that feels relevant: https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/kayfabe
