Your support helps us to tell the story

From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.

At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.

The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.

Your support makes all the difference.

THE 1993 sea-change starts today, when Uranus and Neptune come together in Capricorn. This remarkable planetary line-up last occurred in 1821, also in Capricorn, and a historical parallel can be drawn. In 1820-21, republicanism flourished in England as the monarchy was dragged through the mud. The Prince Regent, soon to become George IV, tried to prevent his estranged wife, Caroline, from becoming Queen. The scandal culminated in her unsuccessful attempt to force her way into Westminster Abbey for the coronation.

In the current turmoil we can expect 'time to strip our illusions of their hue' and we may all be called upon to change our frames of reference. The following quotations have been astrologically chosen. We hope they give an insight into the month ahead.
