Saturday Ruminations - All Systems Go the Bull is Charging or is it Lurching Forward?
Moon direct in Aries
Now that Mars has finally flared it's wide nostrils and powerful hoofs into a charge in solid, reliable Taurus, we might see some of that pent up emotion erupt. But how and when is the question.
Tookie and Riots?
Even though I went on record (11/30) saying that Arnie would offer up a dramatic announcent giving Tookie clemency, I didn't consider the consequences if the Terminator votes to finalize his life. Well seems like the media did: here's an article out of Australia "Los Angeles authorities fear rioting if California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger does not stop Wednesday's execution of killer Stanley Tookie Williams" So I quickly pulled up my Solarfire program created a chart for 12-13-05 at 0:01 AM in LA - clicking on Astrocartography and see that Pluto/Sun are dead on the IC (home turf) and could cause a literal shit-storm of grievance. His scheduled exection is just two days before the 12-15 "Full Long Nights Moon" Also called Long Night Moon two appropriate names since the midwinter night is indeed long, and because the Moon stays above the horizon for a prolonged period. The midwinter full Moon has a high trajectory across the sky because it is opposite a low Sun.
Suffice to say there could indeed be some repercussions ala Pluto which is still in orb with oppositon to Mr. Agression, Mars and the Martian Warrior as I said has just been let off his tether moving to a waxing SQ with Authority (Saturn in Fiery Leo).
Pluto rules the underworld and gangland and the flash of unexpected events, Urnaus in transiting in Pisces to bring prisoner's rights to the forefront is sextile Mars.
Note that "prisoners at San Quentin will be locked down during the execution, and there is the expectation that other state prisons will choose to do the same."
Since we are so close to a monster lunation, let's look ahead...
Venus Enters Aquarius - Women's Rights that Drive for Freedom
On Dec. 15th Venus enters Aquarius to Herald the Long Nights Moon. Venus ingress 7:57AM PST and in the sign of the electric spirit bringer (Aquarius), it's all about everyone's rights. Then at 8:16AM PST - earth shaking, ball breaking, kick-ass Plutonian Full Moon opposing Sun/Sag. (strong desire and purpose for independence) joined by powerful compulsive Pluto. While the Moon seems to stand still the middle of December it won't be the testosterone driven world leaders who are on the ropes but a powerful woman who is willing to defend the rights of the feminine. Obviously the feminine is not just gender specific with Jupiter in Scorpio, gay, along with transgender rights are addressed. Can you say Brokeback Mountain?
Full Circle with Mars in Taurus
So here I am revisting some of the symbolism regarding Mars entering Taurus ala my article in July.
Here we are: Now after almost 4,000 years of oppression, not since the The eruption of Santorini in Greece in 1,650 B.C. will these issues come to light. Afterall Minoan culture speaks of the Snake Goddess and Potnia of Grain, Potnia of Horses, or Potnia of the Labyrinth. Potnia may have been a female form of the male god Potidas or Poteidan. Yes this is the derivation of the name Poseidon (a Greek god closely associated with Crete in later times). Images of women occur more frequently than men in the Minoan archaeological record, both on Crete and in the more recent excavations on the island of Thera (Santorini).
This was a culture where the status of women where definetly elevated. Minoan society is famous for performances where the Bull was an object of great dance and drama. Notice this "Toreador fresco" in which a young woman, shown with the conventional white skin and a darker-skinned men, engage in the dangerous sport that involves somersaulting over the back of a charging bull. Without a question women are rising to power more quickly like Merkel in Germany, Rice the Bondage Queen in the US, Executive President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo, The Philippines, Governor General Dame Silvia Cartwright, New Zealand and lest we forget the Royal Lizard Queen Elizabeth. This is not about race or ethnicity but more about gender and we will began to see how the Mars retrograde in Taurus (ruled by Venus) is greating changes in the male/female modelling of power for the next seven years.
