Media Deception: Obama and Wright North Node and Mars The media is fixated on Rev Jeremiah Wright's Message as his fiery oratory reflects a natal Mars @ 22 Aries which TSQ the Cardinal Crisis Mars in Cancer-Jupiter in Capricorn as Conservative Justice challenges the family-tribal energy. the Obama Wright Controversy As tornadoes sweep thru Suffolk VA and earthquake swarms continue in Reno, NV.

Taurus, the first of the fixed signs has been called the most material with keywords like "I have" and relationship to currency as in money. Actually Taurus which is one of the "sustainable signs" including Leo, Scorpio and Aquarius by pursuing peace, awareness and the essence of comfort actually tunes well into the heart of spirituality. We are getting ahead of the story which always seems to lead to the Blue Moon of Buddha or the Wesak Moon in May. Let's backtrack to this morning. when the Sun shifted with full speed ahead today as Sun entered Taurus @ 9:55 AM...Just yesterday Mercury which has moving at a rapid pace almost 2 degrees a day changed from rapid-fire Aries to slower less verbose Taurus. Here we have Mercury first with a trine to Pluto then after tomorrow's lunation the Sun trines Pluto creating an aura of power intentsity and mystery especially with Scorpio Moon @ 00Scorpio 43 applying to a trine with Cancer and fitting Pluto the modern ruler.

Luna and The Pleadies Together at Sunset - A Turning Point in the 5th Galactic Night
Perhaps you have looked at Spaceweather.com and found out that tonight at sunset is a chance to view a spectacular astronomical event. The Seven Sisters, the Pleiades a cluster of stars 400 light years from Earth will be touching a Moon newly ingressed into Gemini. "The brightest seven of these blue-white beauties form a little dipper visible to the naked eye even from urban areas. The Moon will come so close to the Pleiades, they almost overlap!"
This exquisite celestial event is the essence of timing with yesterday's new round of the Mayan Tzolkin begining and today's Mayan Day Sign: IK (Wind) representing the breath of life or spirit disseminating new ideas upon the planet. As we approach the midpoint of the 5th Galactic Night in May - a turning point in the march to the elite Armageddon fantasy. Today the hot seat was reserved for General David Petraeus and Ambassador Ryan Crocker who described progress in Iraq as fragile and reversible. Even Doris “Granny D” Haddock, 98, who spoke in Gettysburg on Sunday April 6th says Bush is guilty of treason. This grand old lady of the peace movement made sure we hadn't forgotten (Mars-Cancer active memories) : Saddam Hussein, several weeks before our attack, invited our military to come in and look at anything they wanted to look at. As Granny says: "Creative leadership is not the essential ingredient. We need leaders who can inspire the American people and the people of the world to move in new directions quickly. " Aries Sun-Pallas-Mercury and Venus all taking us in a NEW direction...
7 Sisters Work Together to Regain and Redress the Years of Injustice Tonight is more about a wind of change symbolized by the fact that the main seven stars of the Pleiades (intimately connected to all ancient civilizations including the Mayan) are now by longitude in the sign of Gemini. From Alcyone the queen who wards off evil storms and daughter of Æolus (guardian of the winds) to Asterope or Sterope - `lightning', `twinkling', `sun-face' Some myths say she was ravished by Ares and gave birth to Oenomaus, king of Pisa. In other versions , Oenomaus was her husband, and they had a beautiful daughter, Hippodaima, and three sons, Celæno - `swarthy' - who had two sons Lycus (``wolf'') and Chimærus (``he-goat'') fathered by Prometheus Electra or Eleckra - `amber', `shining', `bright' Wife of Corythus; seduced by Zeus and gave birth to Dardanus, founder of Troy, ancestor of Priam and his house. There are other identities for Electra including a daughter of Oedipus and daughter of Agamemnon and Clytæmnestra. Maia - `grandmother', `mother', `nurse'; `the great one' Obvious connection to Mayan race. She was the eldest and most beautiful of the sisters; a mountain nymph in Arcadia. Seduced by Zeus and gave birth to Hermes. Later became foster-mother to Arcas, son of Zeus and Callisto, during the period while Callisto was a bear, and before she and Arcas were placed in the heavens by Zeus (she as Ursa Major, he as either Boötes or Ursa Minor). Merope - `eloquent', `bee-eater', `mortal' Married Sisyphus (se-sophos, `very wise'), son of Æolus, grandson of Deucalion (the Greek Noah), and great-grandson of Prometheus. She bore Sisyphus sons Glaucus, Ornytion, and Sinon; Taygete or Taygeta Seduced by Zeus and gave birth to Lacedæmon, founder of Sparta, to which she was thus an important goddess. In some versions of the story, she was unwilling to yield to Zeus, and was disguised by Artemis as a hind (female red deer) to elude him... On many different levels this evening represents a turning point in today's world as the feminine nature of our planet is demanding a change from the old ways of war and patriarchy.
Below the chart set for sunset in San Francisco where the Olympic Torch has arrived has Mars-Cancer @ 14 degrees in the 9th of foreign influence in a tight TSQ with Astraea (jusotice) @ 15 Libra Retrograde opposing Pallase @ 13 Aries (bold stategist filled with courage). All the goddess energies are lining up to retrieve a reverence for beauty that was lost 11,000 years ago.
Update: 4-5-08: Just three hours before the spontaneous combination of fire in it's most cardinal form combines with earth represented by capricorn to produce LAVA or Molten Earth - Capricorn with Jupiter expanding the powers ambition - a veritable steam roler. On the other side of this Lunation is another cardinal Cancer where Mars-Warrior planet of driving assertion has been making things highly personal So Mars ruler of Aries has been considered exalted yet in Cancer in its fall. Yet with the Red Planet in Cancer: in Cancer we protect those that we love and those whom we consider members of our clan or patriotic lineage. As new powers of evolutionary change are almost palpable, the drama surrounding tomorrow's fierce new moon intensify. With Sun-Moon @ 16 Aries 44 and exact @ 8;55 PM PDT or 11:55 PM PDT a plethora of symbolism of the rebirth of spring and leaving the tired, archaic ideas for fresh visions dominates the landscape. From Zodiac by Degrees, the Sabian speaks loudly with an an adolescent image: "An old couple sits in stony silence, while their daughter, suitcase in hand, walks out the door to live with her musician-boyfriend." This is an apt image identifying the impulsive, passionate actions unfolding around this lunation. It is no secret that han 80 percent of Americans believe the country is headed in the wrong direction, Other top news both Friday and today involves this heavily clannish Mars in Cancer running afoul of Aries Sun-Moon-Nercury and Jupiter in Capricorn with more news of Warren Steed Jeffs (born Dec. 3, 1955) and his breakaway Mormon sect. Texas officials investigating a potential child abuse case said on Saturday 183 girls and women had been removed from a ranch associated with the renegade Fundamentalist Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints... Here we see Cancer (mother-children) interact with Aries representing Adolescence since the 183 removed consisted of 137 girls and 46 women. You might also say that Neptune-Chiron in Aquarius opposing the Dragon's Tail in Leo (children-teenagers) is coming to resolve as Old Fundamentalism begins to give way and dissolve amid new energies.
Symbols of Patriarchy and Reptillian Royalty are Dying Another clear example of the NEW bottom up movement for change - knowing that the quickest changes come from the Cardinal, imperative motion forward...Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh (born Prince Philippos of Greece and Denmark, 10 June 1921) been admitted to a hospital with a chest infection, Buckingham Palace said Friday. This Gemini Sun-Mars-Pallas ruled by Mercury is dealing with the Cardinal transits from Mars-Sun-Jupiter TSQ his hatal Pluto-Mercury conjunction in Cancer - medically an unkind affliction to the lungs ruled by Mercury-Gemini. But he is also being blasted by the Uranian forward movement in Pisces which could mean that something sudden could be triggered by this lunation and he may get something a LOT MORE SERIOUS then suffering from a cold for three or four days without showing signs of improvement.
LOOKING BACK TODAY Early morning over 12 hours before the lunation, we haD a sensitive Moon-Mercury meeting where our emotions are expressed candidly without boundaries. Then in the afternoon a Moon-Mars SQ so conflicts began and ended quickly unless they were long standing like the situation in Tibet . Chinese authorities say they have issued arrest warrants for 16 Tibetans allegedly involved in a riot on March 15 that killed five people. By April 10th two powerful cardinal aspects perfect (1)Applying Mercury Square Mars where tensions can bring quarrels, accidents, and protests (2) Applying Sun Square Jupiter which takes us over the top involving moral and legal debates and battles. Looking at the lunation chart for DC An Aries Stellium preceded by Venus at critical 29th degree ready to change signs form Pisces sits in the 4th house
Early Easter This Year - It is about the Moon It is known that Easter falls on the Sunday after the first full Moon of the Spring Equinox. This year, Spring arrived on March 20th or March 19 @ 10:49 PM PDT, the full Moon followed on March 21st, thus--we have Easter on March 23rd. Mars which begun it's second journey into Cancer (ruled by the Moon) on March 4th triggering the economy with conjunction to the Federal Reserve's Pluto and opposing the US Chart's Venus and Jupiter is one of the player in this time of Major Firsts. It should also be noted that in light of the inundations in the nation's heartland: the last time Easter occurred as early as March 23rd was 1913, an Easter remembered in Ohio for the Great Dayton Flood. This flood water from the Great Miami River, causing the greatest natural disaster in Ohio's history. At the time of the Dayton Flood Sun-Moon were TSQ Jupiter in Capricorn with Neptune in Cancer (moon ruled) closely opposing Vesta in Capricorn.
Cardinal Cross of Action and Reaction Watching the afterglow from the tonight's unreal moon in Libra exactly opposing Jupiter in earthy Capricorn reality seems to be quite flexible like the string theory which presupposes extra dimensions. Like the string theory yesterday's full moon deals with basic energies of action-reaction or building blocks which could even be described as one-dimensional extended objects called strings, rather than the zero-dimensional point particles that form the basis for the standard model of particle physics. In a sense this Aries-Libra-Cancer-Capricorn axis is now offering tangible proof of other dimensions of existence. Yesterday the news hit of powerful stellar explosion that has shattered the record for the most distant object visible to the naked eye. In fact on March 19th A Gamma ray burst of incredible force at 2:12 a.m. EDT and pinpointed the coordinates in the constellation Bootes. According to Neil Gehrels of NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center. "This blows away every gamma ray burst we've seen so far." "No other known object or type of explosion could be seen by the naked eye at such an immense distance," says Swift science team member Stephen Holland of Goddard. "If someone just happened to be looking at the right place at the right time, they saw the most distant object ever seen by human eyes without optical aid." Aries rules the head and yes eyes! Bootes is connected to the star Arcturus The "Herdsman", or "driver of oxen" and he Arabic name; Al Haris al Sama, the "Keeper of Heaven," came from the star's early visibility in the twilight. Bootes is the cultivator or Ploughman who drives the Bears, Ursa Major and Ursa Minor around the Pole Star, Polaris. On the Euphrates it was the Shepherd of the Heavenly Flock, or the Shepherd of the Life of Heaven - sort of relates to Easter. More importantly Gamma ray bursts (GRB) are akin to the newly ingressed Aries Sun SQ Mars shined briefly with the intensity of one million trillion suns.
Floods, Cancer Mars and Pisces Stellium Even though I am weighing on this lunation a little late being caught up in the Cardinal Cross with my own Capricorn rising, everyone is agreeing that this is one freaking historic full moon. Floods in the US Midsection triggered by the Mars-Cancer opposition to Pluto that just keeps on giving we know of at least 16 deaths and hundreds of residents who were forced to flee their homes in the flooding. The storm dumped up to 30 centimeters of rain over a two-day period that ended Wednesday. With Mars applying to trines with Mercury, Venus, vesta and Uranus we are in the midst of massive inundations in other parts of the world. China punished for repressive action against Tibet by 7.2 Earthquake which hit Xinjiang, China This lunation also has brought destruction from the earth elements too. Multiple strong quakes all over 5+ Magnitude in the XINJIANG-XIZANG BORDER REGION all occuring soon after the big 7.2 Event. So far in this sparsely populated region of western China we have only seen the collapsing some houses, but no reports of injuries. Cardinal TSQ keeps us on edge waiting for the Big One! Yet here on the West Coast increased quake activity from the ANDREANOF ISLANDS in Alaska to the WEST CHILE RISE and of course closer to home Dublin, California or near the Salton Sea just WSW of Obsidian Butte, CA where literally hundreds of small tremors have registerd.
Despite all these elemental changes the March 21st Full Moon marking perhaps really hopeful movement for humanity to embrace his true Galactic presence. I love the old sabian message for 2 Libra = The light of the sixth race transmuted into the seventh. Here we see that Dr. Jones was talking about an idealized vision which is based on truth - current sixth race of global mankind on the threshold of a new vision a real leap in conciousness for all of us. The newer Sabian seems to refer to the negative side of this image with references to avoiding dangerous even erotic undercurrents: "Odysseus and his mean are sailing through a channel to an unkown sea when they come upon a whirlpool and, behind it (HERE IT COMES) a beautiful siren playing harp. Shades of Elliot Spitzer and the American voter so disenchanted with the last miserable years of Bush-Cheney and Iraq war that he would either fall sway to the seduction of Obama or defer to the fright generated by senile, pre-Alzheimer's McPain who even talks to himself. Oh Libra sign of the indecisive mind yet one to balance all must decide on a better way then the current financial dramas and crisis with a Major TSQ on the Fed Reserve Sun-Pluto oppositon. Just a few days ago almost a week when the Federal Reserve's rescue of Bear Stearns averted a seizure of the $516 trillion derivatives system.
War What is it Good For? Nothing After 5 years of horrors - a million Iraqi dead, an ancient culture destroyed and a violent maelestrom in the middle east that keeps on blowing up - we now have 4,000 Americans officially dead. Even the heavily fortified Green Zone was hit by a sustained barrage of rocket or mortar fire early this morning, one day after a March 21st roadside bomb killed three American soldiers north of the capital, pushing the US death toll in the five-year conflict to nearly 4,000.
Exact transit from Uranus to Tibet Uprising Sun in 1959.
With up to to 80 killed in crackdown in Tibet by Sunday March 16th and the world beginning to take note as the issue of Tibetan Independence gains world wide prominence, many ask why now? Even in New York at the Chinese consulate, Tibetan activists protest Beijing's deadly crackdown on demonstrators in their Himalayan homeland. As we look back to March 10th when this started when the morning of 3-10-2008 (used 7:00 AM to correspond to Natal Uprising Chart) when just a few hundred monks begin a protest on the 49th anniversary of the Tibetan uprising against Beijing rule, which led to the exile of the Dalai Lama, now living in India. Notice inner wheel of the chart below with Sun @ 18 Pisces 42' when a major uprising occured against Chinese occupation almost 9 years after the first invasion of this free Buddhist country on Oct. 7, 1950. The Sabian Symbol for 19 degrees Pisces: "A master instructing his pupil" or a more modern revolutionary version: "a beautiful and charismatic woman exhorts a crowd of citizens to settle their differences and rebuild a tumbledown cathedral." If ever there was a cause that reflected a need to set in order a social or spiritual condition which deeply affects all humanity it is to FREE TIBET.
Aries Moon on March 10, 2008 triggred the natal Moon-Nodes-Venus from the first house of action that day. Most notably was that Mars was on the IC (roots of the original uprising) opposing Pluto on the MidHeaven. On this day when 300 monks from Drepung Monastery were seeking the release of fellow Drepung monks, who apparently were detained as they tried to celebrate the Dalai Lama's receipt of the U.S. Congressional Gold Medal in October.
Deep Wounds Are Opened as Chiron is Overwhelmed by Need for Freedom. When we look at the chart above and focus on the 11th house which represents community groups and the national purpose or purpose of these group as well as its hopes and dreams and friendships. We see can almost feel the shock waves as Uranian ruled Aquarian triumverate: Chiron, Neptune, Mercury, Venus and North Node of destiny all passing over natal Chiron - a wound that has cut deeply into the religious community @ 24 Aquarius. Sabian: "a chrysalis that opens after a probe or a butterfly with a right wing more perfectly formed." So finally with Pluto ingress into Capricorn and grassroots movements have even more power, the magnificent right brained butterfly that is Tibet is flying forth.
The Dalai Lama (born July 6, 1935) with Cancer rising and Pisces MidHeaven (now transited Uranus just as Jupiter moves over his 7th house of open enemies) who is the center of much of this controversy said Sunday that he would not instruct his followers inside Tibet to surrender before Chinese authorities. Dalai Lama has described feeling “helpless” in preventing what he feared could be an imminent blood bath. By March 18th the Tibetan government in exile has said at least 80 people were killed by Lhasa police, but local authorities (including Xinhua) who have been repressing all You Tube videos are only 13 people died. The Dali Lama himself said he will resign as leader of Tibet if violence there worsens. He also denied Chinese government claims that he was orchestrating the pro-freedom protests. Currently the continued Mars-Pluto opposition (separating) is crossing Dali Lama's Ascendant-Descendant with a TSQ to Pallas in pugnacious Aries (protesters and response from Chinese Govt. push ahead) plus with his natal Mid Heaven @ 21 PIsces the Uranus-Vesta transit in PIsces is moving close to that point. The world is now in the heart of true Non-violent Protest as Governments will began to topple from leaders downward.
Just three short days ago the Piscean lunation reflected a picture mutual reception between the cosmic trickster Uranus and oceanic Neptune. Over the Easter seaboard Moon-Sun-Uranus rocked and rolled together at 18 Pisces semi-sextile Chiron and Mercury in revolutionary Aquarius. Gas prices jumped 25 cents or more in a couple of days as Crude oil traded near $108 a barrel in New York. Prices should go higher with Jupiter applying to an exact sextile to Jupiter by March 28th: Prices are heading to $120 ``in the short term,'' said Matthew Simmons, chairman of Simmons & Co., a Houston investment bank.
Scandals Take Center Stage over Real Issues
By the time that the moon had entered Taurus (9:14 AM EDT), we began to see more then just oil grabbing the headlines. The most important story of the day broke: telling about an AP investigation which found a vast array of pharmaceuticals in the drinking water supplies of at least 41 million Americans in 24 major metropolitan areas. Here we see how the Uranus Pisces connection to Sun along with yesterday's Mercury-Neptune meeting is a powerful indicator of major reform in the Pharmaceutical Industry which now directly threatens our lives. Of course to just say no to dangerous prescription drugs is just strikes of anti-capitalism or even UnAmerican sentiment thus the media found the biggest scandal available. Elliot Spitzer (born June 10, 1959), now Governor of New York state, paying for sex and apologizing at a news conference in Manahattan around Noon. So here we have our nation's water supply threatened not by some IslamoFascist terrorist but by Pig Pharma and the proponents in true Neptunian fashion will keep the debate over whether he will or should resign!
Elliot's Chironic Mess as Pluto Took No Prisoners In the BiWheel Chart below there was so much stacked against Elliot since the New Moon Uranian Connection rocked his gigantic ego. Destiny represented by N Node was almost exactly meeting Elliot's deep wounded healer Chiron as was Venus for sex revelations. Transiting Pluto in Capricorn (representing bottom up change) crossed both his natal Astrea (asteroid of justice) and serious Saturn. Yet it was that exalted Taurus Moon that pushed hero's fall from grace opposing his own inner scandal represented by his natal Neptune @ 4 Scorpio for an emotional TSQ to Venus-Mars-Moon (time unknown) Uranus all in Leo (celebrity fall). Update from March 12th as Taurus Moon SQUARES his Chiron @ 27 Aquarius and TSQ the Nodes of Destiny: Spitzer Resigns, Citing Personal Failings
Mars-Pluto Opposition rips layers of 3D resistance.
Before we launch into any analysis of this lunation which followed two major eclipses: one a partial solar @ 18 Aquarius back on Feb. 6-7th bringing the need for total freedom to the planet's heart and soul...the other back on Feb. 20th @ 2 Pisces-Virgo opening up the Earth itself to multiple earthquakes and a major ascension process along with repudiation of past ages of war. Look what has happened via USGS for the last 7 days! (Worldwide phenomena around oceans:PHILIPPINE ISLANDS REGION, KURIL ISLANDS, KEPULAUAN MENTAWAI REGION, INDONESIA and even the OWEN FRACTURE ZONE REGION near Saudi Arabia and Yeman... Tension has been building and releasing on lots of levels as Mars-Pluto have been moving closer to an exact opposition on the Cardinal Axis known as quake catalysts. It will not just be Mars-Pluto in hard aspect on the cross of matter but Sun-Uranus conjunction, Venus-Neptune together and parallel which are huge indicators of massive quakes.
Now for the far side and I do mean far side of the Moon ruler of Mars ingress. Notice NASA's focus on Moon exploration - "The south pole of the Moon," says Cooke, is going to be "a beautiful place to explore." This current Lunation also deals with the opening of stargates for humanity to finally understand the multidimensional nature of our plane of existence. Below is a presentation by William Henry taking again of how the ancient doctrines and especially the parable of Christ's "The Eye of the Needle" relates stargates.
Illusion and Politics Pisces has always been associated with mystery, deception, ambiguous meanings shrouded in illusion yet we are seeing definite power plays made out in the open before the March 7th lunation. Politics is the new star search with Jupiter in sign of Recognition and ambition Capricorn expanding popularity of the selection process yet minimizing the election right. With Neptune modern ruler of this Lunation and Venus (considered the lower octave)in a tight SQ from 22 Aquarius to Ceres in Taurus (nurturing thru physical security) we are about to be disappointed. Getting back to this highly sensitive yet shocking new moon @ 17 Pises 30 (Sabian: "Inside a huge tent, a populist politician stirs up the crowd with damning facts about government corruption." with this symbol we have the average people asking for honest self representation while the slick, oratory is really about packaging. I mean how could a black man not represent something new? Yeah like a New World Order.. Notice his seal "Z PLURIBUS UNUM"! We know that "E Pluribus Unum" is Latin for "Out of Many, One" Here we have the implication of taking NWO from the 2-D world to 3 D - THE NEW WORLD ORDER SEAL..
Friday's nova Pisces event has both lights moving close to a conjunction with Uranus @ 18 Pisces with the Sabian for 19 degrees of the dual mutable fish - "A master instructing his pupil." striking a chord with the secret societies and illuminati conspiracies. Also a modern sabian for 19 Pisces has even more revelatory meaning: "A beautiful and charismatic woman exhors a crowd of citizens to settle their differences and rebuild a tumbledown cathedral. " Here is the other side of getitng all to find their vision and began to materialize that truth vs. persuasiveness that can turn followers into minions of slaves. Economic Realities Rock with Mars-Pluto at Angles Let's back up a bit just 8 hours before this lunation set for Washington DC, we have the culmination of cardinal opposition between violent Mars @ 1 Cancer and manipulative Pluto (ready to destroy in order to transform) @ 1 Capricorn setting up the axis of Matter-Spirit and crossing the Federal Reserve Sun-Pluto opposiiotn (Dec. 23, 1913). This new moon is not just going to involve politics but the heart and soul of this January's Pluto ingress into Capricorn: Total Economic Transformation spiraling down from the housing crisis, stagflation, rate cuts and bankrupt by war! The chart above has Mars near the Ascendant and Pluto near the Descendant now separating into the Pisces-Virgo axis of Victim-Service.
Deception and Victims on a Blood Red Moon or Illusions?
Everyone from bible thumping Christians to the most far out conspiracy theorist are seizing on tonight's red tinged total lunar eclipse—the last one until Dec. 2010. Sure this is a big deal yet all the eclipses of the 2008 season are notable. The Aquarian event on Feb. 7tth this year that was preceded by Super Tornadoes on Super Tuesday eve began the magic. With the maximum earth shadow to occur @ 7:26 PM PT or 10:26 PM ET or 3:26 AM (2-21-08) UT this should be a magnificent visual experience for North America. See this excellent animation.
Mercury leads the Magicians @ Shamans on this Eclipse. Fixed Stars for the chart above shows - Deneb Adige as Mercury is Culminating orb 00 mins 10 secs - An idea-magician; the poet, the actor or the shaman This particular star found in the constellation Pisces - Deneb Adige is a brilliant white star in the Tail of Cygnus, the Swan. Keeping with the Piscean theme as Mercury is applying to a conjunction with Neptune (ruler of Pisces) on March 9th so that we see that Cygnus gives a contemplative, dreamy, cultured and adaptable nature... Per Robson: "It is of the nature of Venus and Mercury, and gives an ingenious nature and a clever intellect that is quick at learning." With both these orbs in air signs levitation is bound to be one of the most experienced powers... Witness this African Shaman levitating
Mars and the Battle for Space Weapons We are coming up within hours of on an attempt by the US Navy to shoot down a spy satellite that 'supposedly threatens our lives." Other nations are on alert because of this act as Russia claims these plans to shoot down a damaged spy satellite may be a veiled test of America's missile defense system. As Mars (Military)now direct in Gemini and applying to an exact opposition to Pluto on March 7th is flexing it's muscles when most of the people on this planet are just plain sick and tired of war. Not only Russia is opposed to the implications of this test but China has drafted a treaty on preventing an arms race in outer space. Since last December's Pluto-Jupiter meeting in Sagittarius the Pentagon has pushed to create the Placement of Weapons in Outer Space. Religion, Victims and Mental Health push the Virgo-Pisces Axis In the chart above Moon @ 2 Virgo sits in the natural house of Pisces (12th) near Saturn for some deep inner-spiritual activity. In fact the older Sabian says it all: " A large white cross stands alone on a high hill." Old age religions are starting to give way via a symbolic eclipsing process to more advanced spirituality that is grounded in our hearts. The Sun @ 2 Pisces via a more modern Sabian: "An angelfish draws its tail across its face. Spying a fisherman, it darts into the shelter fo a coral reef." This image is telling of the desire to lower one's veils and defenses vs. hiding one's feelings and offering deception in the public eye. It should prove interesting that this degree is that of Patty Hearst;s Sun, Prince's Moon or even the Timothy Leary's Uranus. This is the type of anxiety which along with the slow march of the wounded healer, Chiron in mental Aquarius along with Neptune now @ 22 Aqua. Tonight's rather emotionally, murky lunation might best be described as the revelation that America is Driving Us Crazy.
SS 10 North Again Just like the Solar Annual Eclipse of 2-7-08 we are in the Saros Series 10 North so the same principles apply. As B Brady said “there is a very strong emphasis on communication, and, at the same time, frustrating or inhibiting events may come into the person’s life via news, paperwork or a young person." Tonight's eclipse has a powerful direct Mercury bringing forth innovation and artistic revival being near Venus. The moon is fast approaching an exact Quincunx (a degree of adjustment) with Mercury which should offer healing and news of a woman in power dealing with difficult circumstances.
Earth is Waking Up - Earthquakes all over the globe. Leading up to tonight's event their have been multiple strong quakes most notable the 7.4 Magnitude destructive temblor near the island of Simeulue in Sumatra Indonesia - near the site of the 2004 killer tsunami. Also the swarm of quakes continues in Baja California near a dormant volcano: "Cerro Prieto". This all started right on Feb. 9th (right after the last eclipse) and Cerro Prieto sits at the exact coordinates of the over 200 hundred quakes measuring as high as 5.3 magnitude. Latest updates for these coordinates 10-degree Map Centered at 35°N, 115°W. Other parts of the world are extremely active with a 6.1 Magnitude in Southern Greece, two 5.0 + in Hindu Kush plus a rare 5.5 Magnitude in the South Atlantic. It is likely that even though lots of pressure is being released, by the time the March 7th Mars-Pluto opposition occurs a larger quakes or volcanoes will occur in the Western Hemisphere. Update from Feb. 21, around 12 hours after this activating eclipse At a Magnitude 6.0 - shocks NEVADA Thursday, February 21, 2008 at 06:16:05 AM at epicenter
PART TWO: Super Tornadoes Strike on Super Tuesday (Mars ruled) Will the Election Process Be Enough to Keep Us Safe ?.
Two huge stories filled the TV Screens on the morning of Feb. 6th as Mars in mutable Air-Gemini applying to another opposition with Pluto. (1) Devastating Tornadoes killing dozens (2)Hillary edging Obama in close vote count. All this occured as Mercury applied to conjunction with the Sun @10:19AM PT This destructive path symbolized by Mars had lots of help from a trine with Neptune-Vesta-N Node From an Astro-meteorological perspective @ 3PM CST for Lafayette, Tennesses shows Mars one of the triggers moving from 11th to 10th and the Aquarian Stellium which packed the wallop in the 8th moving toward IC as fast moving Moon (trigger) recently in Aquarius joining them on a voracious path of destruction to the IC or part of the North-South axis. as points East represented by ASC which moved from Cancer to Libra SQ those Capricorn stalwarts PL-JU-VE then onto Scorpio to SQ the Aquarian wind-lightening swept group in IC by 12 Midnight on Wed. View Video of Arkansas twister leaves 11 dead - from USA Today:
All day horrific footage was broadcast among comments of masses (Uranian_ turning out to vote. Negative side of Mercury's erratic motion in Aquarius touching Sun with 55 people were killed and hundreds injured Tuesday and Wednesday by dozens of tornadoes that plowed across Mississippi, Arkansas, Tennessee, Kentucky and Alabama. It was the nation's deadliest barrage of twisters in almost 23 years. Yet in typical Saturn Retro. in Virgo, a meteorologist from the NOAA (National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration) was quoted as saying tornadoes were unusually lethal but not particularly rare...This is typical of 2008's most telling aspect Saturn opposing Uranus.
Bob Marley (born Feb. 6, 1945 @ 2:30 AM) epitomizes a drive for freedom and justice for the human collective. His Sun @ 17* and a potent aspect of musical genius and high energy led by Uranus. (Uranus-Gemini sextile Pluto and trine Pallas-Neptune in Libra
Aquarian planets literally scream for freedom, justice in today's atmosphere of control and anti-terrorism hysteria. This eclipse will trigger a climactic confrontation with some of the most draconian laws moving thru the House and Senate like the Violent Radicalization and Homegrown Terrorism Prevention Act of 2007 (1) FISA has even created a secret court (established by the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act of 1978 (FISA) (2) and now with Pluto in Capricorn Wherever we turn, the two planets, the virtual underpinnings of this Eclipse and the subsequent geo-political events for 2008 are Saturn and Uranus. Saturn is the mundane-ancient ruler of the Eclipse, with Uranus the modern-spiritual ruler of the Eclipse. Venus-Jupiter in Capricorn are in positive trine and sextile to these two giving a boost the motivation to end the age of war and create innovative methods to live. Currently these two are in wide opposition till they reach and exact aspect on Nov. 4th. So between now and then polarization between the these two will demand freedom and resolution. On Dec. 19th Saturn turned retrograde the same time that the Lakota Sioux declared sovereignty from the US Government (represented by Saturn). On May 3rd Saturn stations direct @ 2 Virgo and begins building the power of Structure vs. Freedom (Uranus) as this planet of erratic, sudden change finally moves backwards in August @ 22 Pisecs. The forces of supposed service and gross materialism will began fighting the most advanced, progressive Aquarian progressive visions and utopia. This eclipse and the lunar one that follows will revel in an anarchy of new thought and action. The overall theme of the sign of Aquarius is rebellion against the established and more traditional is magnified with the 17-18th Degree so prominent in triggering power crisis where the old is vanquished in favor of the new. Election themes that touch on 17th-18th Aquarius. Since the major news element in the US besides the economy and domestic meltdown 4th and 10th axis is the Super Primary the day before let's look at some previous elections where this degree was featured and results were not decided by the people. Manipulated/Glitch Filled Elections in US History
Another election back on Jan. 29, 1877, when the US Congress had to pass a law and form a 15-member electoral commission to settle the election of 1877, finally resolved when Rutherford B. Hayes was declared the winner, even though his opponent, Samuel Tilden, had won the popular vote. At the time, Hayes had a converse solar arc Sun at 18 Leo 23. On Dec. 7, 1836, Martin Van Buren was voted US president after an election that was marked by the first time that a vice president selection had been thrown into the Senate. At the time, transiting Jupiter was at 18 Leo 06. Feb. 9, 1825, John Quincy Adams was elected US president after the election was thrown into the House of Representatives. It marked the first election where a candidate didn’t receive the majority of the electoral vote. (Adams ran against Andrew Jackson who was elected president some years later.) Adams at the time had a converse secondary progressed Ascendant at 18 Leo 27. (Andrew Jackson did not have any planets or angles in 17-18 Aquarius/Leo but did have a solar arc Jupiter and solar arc Pluto at 13 Scorpio, the solstice point of 17 Aquarius.)
The two eclipses preceding the 2008 General Election for a candidate to finally replace Bush have Nodes @ 18 Aquarius/Leo 31 Respectively the Total Solar on August 1st @ 10 Leo and the Lunar Partial on Aug. 16th @ 25 Leo with Nodes 18* Aquarius/Leo 34'. Sabian 19* Aquarius : A Forest Fire Quenched and 19* Leo: A Houseboat Party.
Part One Eclipsing the Masculine - Unmasking the Thin Veneer of Reality One of the most important series eclipses of the decade will begin with a New Moon @ 7:44 PM PT @ 17 Aquarius 44' then at 8:20 PM the annular eclipse will begin ending at 9:31 PST. Unlike the picture above of a total eclipse in Romania 1999, the Moon passes between Earth and the Sun and only partially obscuring Earth's view of the Sun. Symbolically and literally the feminine (moon) will strike a blow to the masculine (sun). As far as Super-Tuesday, a Clinton victory is possible depending on how many women turn out. Most importantly this lunation replete with massive weather changes, economic free falls, rebellions demonstrates how quickly unexpected changes can occur and the only stability is change. The 17-18 degree of Aquarius is featured as magnificent catalyst disseminating truth from the bottom up-grass roots era of Pluto's recent arrival in Capricorn (Jan. 25.). Sabian for 18 Aquarius:"An ominous silence falls, as the last man at a masquerade prepares to unmask. Outside , a thunderstorm is brewing." This potent Sabian symbol of unmasking of falsehoods, poltical corruption (what else is new?), clearing the air after a rightous thunderstorm, spiritual truths and shocking revelations thrust in the open. Famous people with this degree prominent include: Madam Blavatsky-Medium of Theosophical Society (Jupiter), Frida Kahlo-Artist (Chiron), Grace Slick of the Jefferson Airpland (Mars)Joseph Campbell (Saturn) This eclipse degree has a multitude of connections which I will cover later in Part Two. Solar eclipses are know more for external effects centered around people and events as lunar deal with internal and emotional energies. Solar eclipses are also associated with the unexpected especially with the current fixed stellium already resonatiing euphoric results of Super Tuesday as Mercury and Sun join @ 10:19 AM on the day of the event then the messenger separate for a meeting with the Maverick Chiron on 2-7-08. Form and Function work together as Saturn-Uranus the co-ruling planets of Capricorn (the most material utilitarian sign) helps bring the visions of Aquarius even with a Venus separating sextile to Uranus. Nevertheless this is one of four potent events all touching the Nodes in Aquarius-Leo as Dragon's head brings the visions of the water bearer to all humanity as a collective. The highly personal Dragon's Tail in royal Leo has already began to unravel the elite's position especially with help from Saturn ruled Capricorn in Pluto. This Annular Solar Eclipse occurs at 7:44 pm PST, 10:44 pm EST on February 6, 2008, and 3:44 am February 7, GMT/UT. Starting wmid-Virgo (16) rising in California, 22 Libra rising in DC, 13 Sag rising in London, 16 Sag rising in Amsterdam, and 22 Sag rising in Estonia. Istanbul has 20 Capricorn rising, Bagdad has 14 Aquarius rising, Johannesburg has 17 Aquarius rising, N. Delhi and Trivandrum both have 30 Pisces rising, while Bangkok has 28 Aries rising and Tokyo has 22 Gemini on the Ascendant. W. Australia has early Taurus rising, Melbourne has 25 Taurus rising, while Brisbane has 6 Gemini on the Ascendant.
This Solar Eclipse on Feb. 6-7th just like it's partner a Lunar Eclipse on Full Moon Feb. 20th @ 2 Virgo are part of Saros Cycle 10 North. Bernadette Brady says that this eclipse cycle first began with an eclipse on April 25, 944, at 9 Taurus. This foundation eclipse set's the tone and template with New Moon = Mercury and Saturn = New Moon/Neptune. Brady points out that the first eclipse’s New Moon is conjunct Mercury, and Saturn is on the midpoint of the New Moon/Neptune. She says that “there is a very strong emphasis on communication, and, at the same time, frustrating or inhibiting events may come into the person’s life via news, paperwork or a young person." With the Sun-Combust Mercury @ 1:19AM on Feb. 6th. The brilliance of the Sun may even overwhelm Mercury based on reason. Brady goes on to say that The person may feel tired and drained, and this therefore a good time to take things quietly and work through the difficulties one at a time." With Neptune (merging and blurring energies) close to Sun-Moon we may actually see a dream like state that tends to drain vitality.
The Chart Below Set for San Jose, CA Has a huge 6th House with Chiron @ 15 Aquarius on the cusp. So the Maverick healer who in Aquarius is bringing innovations to the world's of health-emotional, physical and mental. The 6th house of service touches public health, sanitation, food, national service, army, navy, police, civil service, trade unions, working class. Of course here in the South BAy and also down in LA. connections to rules workers, the laboring classes, unions, labor organizations, wage conditions, employment and unemployment will be prevalent. Unfortunately with today's Dow plunging based on a survey by the Institute for Supply Management, which reported that activity in the nonmanufacturing sector (SERVICE) contracted in January for the first time since March 2003. Here in Silcon Valley, service along with technology provide the lion's share of the jobs. Housing, represented by Sagittarius on the cusp and Pluto intercepted in the 4th along with a most limiting Jupiter also in the sign of the goat, is finally starting to feel the effects of the bursting bubble.
JFK's Spirit Comes Thru Obama as Uranian Planets Electrify Debate
In my last post I told of Reagen's ghostly specter channeled recently and vividly hovering over the Republican Debates on Jan. 30th. Now we got Kennedy's phantom visiting the debates at the glitzy Kodak Theatre on Jan. 31st. More and more people are jumping on the bandwagon and I have to agree their is a comparison of Barack to one of the most mythical presidents of all time JFK. As far as celebrities go, JFK was a favorite of Marilyn Monroe, Frank Sinatra and the entire Rat Pack. Barack, who does not actively persuade the stars to lend their influence, already has Oprah Winfrey stumping for him along with George Clooney and even Scarlett Johansson. Could it be Obama's poise, quick wit, electrifying presence or the strong endorsements from Ted and Caroline Kennedy? (1)
When we click on the chart above with JFK glowing inside the inner wheel and Obama on the outside, the connections become clearer. JFK had a First Qtr. Moon which is about dealing with crisis of action and Obama was born under a 3rd Qtr. Moon which is about crisis of concscience (dealing with moral values, and feelings of rectitude or integrity). OK the most obvious comparisons began with Obama's Mercury @1 Leo touching Kennedy's Neptune offering the highly verbal Congressman with Mars-Virgo and Moon-Gemini. As the myth of JFK (born May 29, 1917) is being resurrected with every word uttered in the Thursday night's debate don't forget that John Kennedy was youngest man (44 years old) and the only practicing Roman Catholic to be elected President - Barack (born Aug 4, 1961) who would be the first African American and just 47 years old when he would be elected. My article here is just to set the parameters and not to go into the lives of either man too deeply - with the campaign of 2008 and subsequent nomination we will see how it plays out.
Here is the astrological list of similarities between the two: (1) Both JFK and Obama have strong Mercury energies. JFK with Sun-Venus in Gemini and Moon in Virgo ruled by Mercury and Obama with Moon in Gemini and Mars in Virgo and Jupiter-Saturn in 3rd House. (2)Planet of innovation, freedom and sudden change Uranus @ 25 Leo in MC closely opposes JFK's in the IC both extremely potent for galvanizing the masses. (3)TSQ's at angular positions, one of the most life changing dynamics in any chart for impactful lives. Obama has his Uranus-N NOde opposing SNode TSQ Vesta-Ceres in Taurus. JFK Pallas-Leo MC opposing Uranus-Aquarius TSQ Mars-Mercury-Taurus (even though in 8th for tragic consequences on the cusp of the 7th speaking of enemies not so hidden). As for the enemies of John, it has been rumored: "John F. Kennedy was murdered because he planned to pull out of the Vietnam war, "win, lose or draw", by 1965, and the Godfather of the plot to kill him was the tight-lipped group: Lyndon Johnson, McGeorge Bundy, Dean Rusk, and Robert McNamara, and they all exploited the power of their respective offices to cover up the truth." (2) Back to astrological similiarities - (4)Both have Chiron in Pisces giving them sort of a transcendant ability to feel the wounds of many in society. With JFK Chiron is SQ Pluto for some ultimately drastic power struggles and consequences. With Obama Chiron is SQ Moon which is about issues with his mothering or sabotaging his emotional needs. (5)Both have Moon-Jupiter trines emphasizing an ease in relating to others, confidence, infectious enthusiasm and need to be in the public eye. Obama has Moon-Gemini in close trine to is Jupiter-Aquarius while JFK has service oriented Moon-Virgo trine his natal Jupiter in solid Taurus. (6)JFK's Moon-Virgo ruled by Mercury touches Barack's Mars-Virgo adding a Mercurial theme where they both are mercurial, well stated public figures. (7)JFK and Obama Fixed Stars: HELIACAL SETTING STAR Zuben Eschamali - Setting 18 mins 55 secs before Sunrise - Seeking to influence society from a position of power Obama has two contacts with Zuben Eschamali - first: Rising at the Ascendant orb 01 mins 43 secs - A person who strives for power Second: Zuben Eschamali as Sun is setting on On Nadir rather close orb 00 mins 30 secs - The ability to influence society through one’s work. Unfortunately JFK had Algol as Mars is Culminating in close orb 00 mins 51 secs which told of not only the constructive power of his work but the tragic ending in Dallas.
Comparing the destiny of both personages, JFK as we can see had enemies who were willing to go to any lengths to assasinate him. In Barck's case, Ceres-Vesta-Moon all in 7th of open enemies with a close opposition of Ceres to Hygeia (health) from Descendant to Ascendant. Note Ceres-Vesta together is about focus, dedication to nurturing and helping others. Bottom line with his Nodes Leo-Aquarius crossing the current Dragon's Head (N Node) in Aquarius and Negative Dragon's Tail (S Node) - he could be targeted by enemies even before the election if not right after inaugeration. That would be a terrible waste in this nation's chaotic state!
Watch as Obama nails Clinton on the question of her voting for the invasion of Iraq. As much as Hillary wants to evade the real motives of her decision in 2002, Barack's sharp Mars in Virgo brings home the accountable truth.
Looking at a Chart Below for Democratic Kodak Theatre Debates in center wheel and JFK Natal on Outer Wheel the obvious connections is made. JFK's exalted desire to better the country and create real change as represented by Uranus@ 23 Aquarius sits close to N Node, Mercury, Vesta and Neptune stellium in the 7th. These Aquarian planets veritably shout for a new vision of political manifestation. The psychic sabian symbol for 23 Aquarius 43' is about a man who turns his back on passions and teaches from experience. JFK's Neptune @ 2 Leo near the Debate's ascendant brings in the Myth to inspire a rather vapid democratic party still hailing the Bush-Cheney-Pelosi shadow. Obama talks a great game about change and seems to contradict get along mentality and teh old age mindset based on war. Then with JFK's strong identity in this chart's 10th of public destiny encompasing Mars-Mercury-Jupiter all together in persistent, fixed Taurus joining his Sun @ 7 Gemini. This Kennedy magical grouping of planets did electrify the air and some actually got transferred to Barack Obama and hopefully this statesman from Chicago with roots in Kenya can bring unity to the nation. A word of caution, Obama with a duplitious Gemini Moon has also brought on some buzz from certain progressive circles by bringing on Zbigniew Brzezinski as his foreign policy adviser. Despite aligning with Brzezinski, Obama, Dennis Kucinich (had to drop out) and Alaska Senator Mike GravelRon Paul are the only two candidates currently who willing to renew the constitution. Illinois Senator Barack Obama finally signed the American Freedom Pledge, encouraging the restoration of basic Constitutional principles after the battering they have taken during the Bush-Cheney era.3 Hillary did not.
Part One: Reagen's Ghost Hovers over Simi Valley Debates "Ronald Reagan must be the nicest president who ever destroyed a union, tried to cut school lunch milk rations from six to four ounces, and compelled families in need of public help to first dispose of household goods in excess of $1,000...1f there is an authoritarian regime in the American future, Ronald Reagan is tailored to the image of a friendly fascist." - Robert Lekachman
Since Mercury stationed retrograde on January 28th @ 23 Aquarius 52' (a man turning his back on his passions and teaching from his experiences) things have been a little whacked out. Now with Mercury moving toward a meeting with Neptune on February 2nd. igniting an overactive imagination steeped in politcal utopianism and deception. When, Mercury, the messenger planet and god of thieves and liars appeared to move backwards, a grand air trine (sociability, ideas, words) was forming between Mercury-Mars-Gemini (war of words) and Moon in Libra. This Grand Trine actually favored Bush with his Libra stellium in the 3rd. right in time for the ritual of Bush State of Hypnosis Speech that night. It would even appear that the back drop of the American Flag had upside-down stars, like the reverse pentagramthe background flag. Underneath were the Unholy Trinity: Osiris (Cheney), Isis (Pelosi), and Horus (Baby Bush). A huge disconnect has come to pass between what the average person thinks versus what is being fed us by the Corporate-Mass Media. State of the Union (Mercury Rx near Neptune to keep many in confusion and promote lies) GWB's state of the Disunion was a prime example as he talked about the most murderous war in US history: "Tonight the armies of compassion continue the march to a new day in the Gulf Coast. America honors the strength and resilience of the people of this region." So let's send over 3,200 more marines over to Afghanistan to keep the heroin trade safe for the CIA. Or his comments on the state of our economy (now that Pluto has joined Jupiter-Venus in stingy Capricorn) "In the long run, Americans can be confident about our economic growth" Today's Jan. 31 update about the budget speaks of destroying domestic programs in favor of military spending: Official: Bush's 2009 budget to be tight Then his State of the Union answer to our oil addiction "Let us increase the use of renewable power and emissions-free nuclear power." (Applause.) With that last remark we have to bring in the ghost of Ronald Reagen and the debates that took place at the Ronald W. Reagan Presidential Library & Museum in Simi Valley, California who said back in Feb. 15, 1980: "All the waste in a year from a nuclear power plant can be stored under a desk." --Ronald Reagan ( quoted in the Burlington (Vermont) Free Press. Not only have the Rebuplican candidates from Romney to McCain to Huckabee try to compare themselves to the great Reagen but even Obama acknowledges his populist leadership. Let me add another Reagenism: "We were told four years ago that 17 million people went to bed hungry every night. Well, that was probably true. They were all on a diet." --Ronald Reagan, TV speech, October 27, 1964 Despite all the stupid, destructive things he said and did from invading Grenada to the Iran-Contra Affair Looking at the chart above with RReagen as outer wheel to start of yesterday's Republican debate. Ronnie's natal Sun @ 16 Aquarius (a watchdog standing guard) closely challenges his Moon @ 16 Taurus(a symbolic battle between swords and torches) seems to symbolize an affable kind of security for the American people. Reagen's modern ruler Uranus @ 26 Capricorn is in close proximity to the US Sibley Pluto added an almost superhuman power to his legacy. Now we see above that his natal Mars in exalted Capricorn is the midpoint between the debate chart's Venus-Pluto adding even more supernatural magnetism. The Gipper has fans from both sides of the aisle as Obama pays homage to the Myth (Neptune) of Reagen. Barack Obama (born Aug. 4, 1961) has Mars @ 22 Virgo touching the US Neptune signifying our nation's universal and utopian tendencies, communistic ideas and collective values as well as democratic political movements. Obama himself with an electric intensity of Uranus-N Node in Leo opposing the US Charts' Moon symbolizing the masses, commoners and the population especially the women. Barack whose own Venus @ 1 Cancer is near the US Chart's Venus speaking of a inner sense of trust felt by Americans plus Venus in a mundane chart represents social pleasures, diplomacy, protocol and ceremonial functions. Listen to Obama tell why he prefers Ronald Reagan over Bill Clinton.
The "Buplican" debates last night were of course a veritable lovefest for the ghost of ole Ronnie R. Both McCain and Mitt Romney (born March 12th 1947) with a weak, vacillating Mars @ 6 Pisces touches Reagen's Venus exalted in Pisces - Is this love? Well John Sidney McCain III (born Aug. 29, 1936) has Venus @ 22 Virgo exactly conjunct US Sibley Neptune which SQUARES Mars-Gemini(ideals of the War Hero). Comparing his natal chart to Reagen we see a NNode Capricorn connection to Ronnie's Mars and more telling Uranus @ 9 Taurus creating a midpoint between Reagen's Vesta (dedication) and financial N Node in Taurus. Besides the Reagen Ghost McCain has his Jupiter (expansive, inspirational) is @ 15 Sagittarius conjunct the US Sibley Ascendant. Despite the supposed charisma that McCain may have, I still have to ask: Why would people vote for a Mc Cain - a HAWK (cain, the one who murdered his brother in genesis, and in gaelic means sharp spear)? McCain's rather confident trine from and arrogant Mars @ 12 Leo (An old sea captain rocking on the porch of his cabin) to Jupiter in Sagittarius belies his Saturn-Pisces Opposition to Neptune which is all about irrational fears and distrust. Watch as he thrusts the spear in deeper into Willard Mitt Romney, Governor of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts.
Next jog-post will deal with JFK and the Democratic Debate in Hollywood at 5:00 PM PST on 1-31-08.
As cold storms slam the entire state of California bringing snow, sleet and thundershowers and visions of global cooling, we are less then 24 hours away from Pluto's entrance into Capricorn. Knowing that there is only synchronicity and no accidents, on the planet Jupiter (ruler of Sagittarius) - Towering storms more than 100 kilometres tall have been caught punching up through Jupiter's cloud deck for the first time. The last time Pluto changed signs was 1-17-1994 when the Clinton-Crime era was in full force and the capitalistic economy was thriving now in 2008 with the end of Bush we may have another Clinton. This time Hillary, a Scorpio ruled by Pluto and Mars which symbolize massive debt. As we enter this new 14 year transit of Pluto, we will soon understand if we are to be doomed by not understanding history.
From a world perspective Pluto begins this new journey on January 25th @ 9:38 PM ET and January 26th @ 2:38 AM UT. Saturn-Virgo sits at the top of the chart (below) in Virgo demanding practicality, prudence and respect for the feminine (Virgin). Pluto also joins Venus and Jupiter in the sign of the goat intercepted in the 2nd house of values-currency-banking speaking of the major transformation that will occur to our entire monetary system marking this time period. The Euro begin on Jan. 1, 1999 with Pluto in Sagittarius, Sun-Venus in Capricorn and the nodes @ 22 Leo-Aqaurius. We may see the advent or announcement of a new currency the Amero now that the moons nodes of destiny have shifted into Aquarius-Leo reaching 22 degrees in the middle of May 2008. Don't hold your breath since we are entering an era of tight monetary control and manipulation like we have never seen.
Pluto represents the cosmic principle of transformation, the dramatic shift from symbolical death to rebirth...For some this shift is now palpable the beginnings and endings of the phases in life will mirror destruction and re-creation. Pluto also signifies an obsessive, intense and manipulative personality that could be highly dangerous when unchecked in Capricorn. Since Tuesday's Full Moon brought the real possibility of financial collapse to the entire world, multiple events seem to be heralding the death of the past cycle of Pluto-Sagittarius cycle. Cosmic Transition We are leaving the domain of Jupiter's expansive, faith oriented, generous rule as summed up by William Blake (Sagittarius) "The road of excess leads to the palace of wisdom.” into Saturn's more contractive, accountable, organized much more structured filled with an earthy endurance. Your and vitality gives way to aging and wisdom. The Capricorn years will bring advancements in the science of life extension. Sagittarius is a male sign that seeks knowledge-truth, higher education and relates to religion and ethics (or lack of therein) while Capricorn is female, determined, dictatorial, secretive relates to banking, systems, executives, government and many other structured institutions.
Notable Events Marking the Transition
Heath Andrew Ledger-Tragic Loss of Youth Ledger(born April 4, 1979) is pronounced dead on the Jan. 22, 2008 @ 3:26 PM - the word Ledger means "An accounting book of final entry where transactions are listed ." Saturn ruler of Capricorn deals with being accountable - a sacrifice?. Heath who had courageous Sun in youthful Aries and also had a stellium of Piscean planets (victim-escapism-drugs) including S Node and Ceres (letting go as in overdose) transited closely by Uranus (the shocker). Also his natal Saturn-Venus opposition (love problems) was Opposed by Saturn (ruller of the New Plutonic Era0 and Mars his ruling planet @ 27 Pisces (Why are they still selling Ambian/Stilnox inspite of the harmful side effects?) with Mercury @ 26 and Vesta @ 24 all TSQ Mars Rx Gemini and a destructive Venus-Pluto conjunction. I will reveal that this consumate artist had was undergoing an unusual transit of the asteroid Hygeia (Greek Goddess of Health) transiting his progressed Venus- love affair ending along with a shocking unexpectedly deadly transit from Uranus-Pallas to his progressed Hygeia. In another post I will offer a tribute to his life and untimely death.
Rogue trader costs SocGen €5bn or in USD $7.14 billion In typical Sagittarian risk taking fashion as the Venus (currency)Pluto (destruction) conjunction @ 29* perfected another major scandal hit the financial wires. Expect to hear more and more finanancial news of meltdowns - but this one was over the top. The lone rogue trader,Jerome Kerviel, only 31 years old is being blamed for the biggest fraud in investment banking history. In typical Capricornian reputation, Société Générale is known as a pillar of French finance. Kerviel (birth unknown) is now a member of the Wall Street’s Rogues Gallery. populated by others of rather low morale fiber.
Bush and White House issued 935 false statements after 9/11 to get US in war. Despite the spin that the corporate media in the US is giving to this report blaming it on George Soros propaganda, this is a major revelation of truths about corrupt administration. The Centre for Public Integrity, which issued the report concluded the statements “were part of an orchestrated campaign that effectively galvanized public opinion and, in the process, led the nation to war under decidedly false pretenses”. Yes the Sagittarian archetype is about expanding belief systems without careful analysis where skimming the surface is the rule and finding meaning beyond facts and pertinent information. Now that this era is ending perhaps the American people with a Sagittarius rising chart (Sibley-July 4, 1776 @ 5:10 PM LMT) will understand the horrors of 4,000 soldiers and one million Iraq civilians killed now that Pluto enters realistic Capricorn?
Thousands Flood Across Border From Gaza to Egypt This mass migration of citizens of the Gaza Strip relates well with the Pluto in Sagittarius mass migration and dramatic exodus of millions in the last 14 years. Yet in this case there was a survival motivation (Capricorn-Cancer axis) all about obtaining medicine, fuel and other vital supplies that have been in short supply in Gaza since the Israeli blockade and unconconsionable act of cutting power on 1-20-08 (during Mars Opposition to Venus-Pluto). Palestine (autonomy chart set for May 4, 1994) with 9 Leo rising and security conscious fixed signs at the angles all threatened by the Aquarian Stellium of planets in the 7th house of foreign relations, treaties and/or disputes. Note that Palestine was born during a Neptune-Uranus in Capricorn which is all about tearing down walls and barriers. Palestinian crowds cheered as Hamas militants used a bulldozer to flatten sections of the chain and concrete fence. When all the Cardinal Planets line up in a TSQ by 2010 the Israeli-Palestine conflict will have dissolved.
Dennis Kucinich To Drop Out of Presidential Race Dennis (born Oct. 8, 1946) who is probably the most honest, ethical and only real anti-war candidate in the race for president has progressed Sun-Mars-Vesta all in Sagittarius. In fact his progressed Moon @ 23 Gemini is opposing his progressed Mars both transited by the current Mars Gemini Retrograde causing him to cut his losses. Kucinich's Saturn @ 13 Leo almost exactly sextile N. Node reflects a tremendous determination to set the record about how we were lied to by criminals. He will jump-start his impeachment drive; this time he promised to introduce articles of impeachment against President Bush rather than Vice President Cheney. His impeachment actions may help bring to an end a period of political scandals where truth was sought but rarely found.
I have already talked about the political implications of Pluto's entrance (how leaders will be deposed) and the liklihood of earthquakes on a bigger scale but I haven't mentioned the social changes. We are entering the first few years of trends that require us to think like Capricorns and honor the earth and reality in all it's most dense forms. As Liz Greene calls Saturn "the membrane which separates the personal unconscious from the collective unconscious". The ringed planet brings it's influence to bear directly in our daily lives and the structures that define our world our careers and public persona. Thing like a Capricorn and act like a Virgo. To temper this highly materialistic energy we must combine the gift of health and service that the world servers per Virgo's representation especially with the current transit of Saturn in the sign of Virgo. The Mayan Day Sign (long count) for January 25th an 26th are 6 Lamat (Rabbit-Star) 7 Muluc (Water). The Rabbit is about pure luck and fertility or having a green thumb (good to cultivate) and Muluc with imagination and tremendous psychic abilities. As the Lord of the Underworld, Pluto is naturally Chthonic dark, primitive and mysterious and connected to more carnal, gods like Set, Pan Bacchus, and Dionysus we will expect society to revel in bringing all that cosmic energy deep within our bodies for what can be an era of enlightment not a restricted, prison planet if we choose. More to follow in my next installment about this earth shaking ingress as the white placid mountain goat pictured above begins to reconstruct our basic resources like food, water and building materials. To be continued...
