Virgo/Service and Pisces/Faith Mix as Obama and Mccain Compete with Rev. Rick at The Saddleback Forum

BACKGROUND:
Who is the most compassionate believer? Or Who can show the best face at a staged religious event. Neptune (ruler of Uranus in Pisces) has separated from a hypnotic Mercury Opposition back on August 16th where subversive activities are being used more extensively by the networks and now with a Mercury Oppossing Uranus (Pisces) will occur the following Saturday August 23rd.
The the evening of the Forum: Neptune-Moon in Aquarius Opposing Theatrical Sun in Leo fired up the dramatic cannons as CNN fought NBC who already had the Olympics market share viewers.

From the standpoint of electional astrology, Saturday Aug. 16, 2008 was not only the day of the Lunar Eclipse Full Moon in Aquarius but featured one of the best aspects for social events a Venus (Virgo) trine to Jupiter @ 5:10 PM.
Rev. Warren, brokered the event so to speak by personal invite. Rick the author of the best-selling book “The Purpose-Driven Life,” said he had called each man personally to invite him to his event.

The Media is still feeding off the Megachurch Extravaganza at Saddleback (as Mercury is applying to a conjunction with Venus to help add more sensitivity to the content
last Saturday where McCain seemed to outshine Obama in evangelical core concepts like Pro-Life and Anti Gay Marriage. Even though Sen. Barack Obama said Saturday that his greatest moral failure -- and the country's -- has been selfishness, but his opponent, Sen. John McCain, cited his failed first marriage - Christ true Piscean message of selfless help was not enough to catch the rays of the spotlight.
John McCain unlike Obama, was quick and deliberate in his answers. Mr. straight talking snake tongue, McCain with his Mars in Leo (natally in the public 10th) demanded attention as his conservative Pluto @ 28 Cancer and nationalistic MC @ 16 Cancer. With transiting Neptune @ 22 Aquarius in close Quincunx to Barack's Mars @ 22 Virgo (same as Neptune in US Sibley chart) was restrained-subdued. Obama told the Rev. Rick Warren that "we still don't abide by that basic precept of Matthew: that whatever you do for the least of my brothers, you do for me.

Sun-Leo shined on McCain's 11th house of group acceptance, hero worship with a close conjunction to McCain's natal Juno @ 23 Leo This combination of solar-magnetic principles of identity and purpose with the intimacy of relationships. When asked what faith in Jesus means to him, McCain replied, "Means I'm saved and forgiven. Our faith encompasses not just America but the world." Plus and big plus was transiting Saturn, Mercury, Venus adding an aura of practical, values of service to McCain's "supposedly true selfless identity" Sun-Neptune. What a smoke job even if Rev. Rick means well.
Lest we forget all the outer planets were working to fashion this forum into a Mega Event
to keep the reptile and vulturite lords happy.
obama and mccain at the saddleback faith forum « beauty and depravity



This event was all about Rick's focus and Saddleback going live and catching
the Pisces wave including Mutual Reception. "It has taken a man of God, perhaps, to do what nobody else has been able to do since the general election season began: Get Barack Obama and John McCain together on the same stage before their party conventions later this summer."
Richard D. "Rick" Warren (born January 28, 1954) who is the son of Jimmy and Dot Warren. His father was a Baptist minister, his mother a high school librarian. This Aquarian Sun has the planet of communication Mercury (ruler of the current Virgo grouping) @ 18 Aquarius able to reap the current magical transit from N Node of fate @ 18 degrees.
Rick should get his wish of "Saddleback’s goal in staging this event is “to restore the church’s primacy in society and not be off on the sidelines, to be a part of the world and all the issues.”
Rick's Sun-Venus conjunction @ 8 Aquarius - highly social and able to listen amiably and make groups of people feel good, Rev. Rick is both a diplomat and someone who enjoys the finer things in life with perhaps a quirky side. Looking deeper with the Sabian for 9 degrees Aquairus: "An escaped eagle with the remanants of a blindfold hanging over one eye screaming down at his captors" Here we find a bold, agressive even revolutionary side of Rick Warren that despite all the end times garbage will be fighting for independence. All in all this was Rick's Night. especially with transiting Uranus trining his own natal Mars @ 23 Scorpio and a transiting Square adding a certain magnetic intensity from
Neptune-Sun opposition.

The Devil is in the Detail - A CONSPIRACY OF OLYMPIC PROPORTIONS?

When my wife and I witnessed that split second Michael Fred Phelps (born June 30, 1985) inspired victory (by 0.01 of a second) over Milorad Cavic we were skeptical, to say the least. As the article below states: "Milorad Cavic led the race from start to finish, including at the 50-meter mark. Toward the end of the race, it appeared that Phelps closed on Cavic's lead, but still could not manage to beat him. The eyes of all the spectators in the aquatic center in Beijing, as well as those millions around the world, clearly saw that Milorad Cavic has won the race. Televised replays from all the different angles, including the one from underwater cameras, clearly showed that Cavic was the fist one to touch the wall."

One thing was for sure with current transits of Mercury-Venus-Saturn and Mars in Virgo all applying to past or future opposition with Neptune ruled Uranus (quick and unexpected deception is possible) Not to mention the strategic asteriod Pallas
@ 04 Gemini along with Hygeia (health fitness) @ 12 Gemini creating even more of an environment for "flexible realities."
Chart below set for starting time per: National Aquatics Center / Sat Aug 16 2008 / Start Time: 10:10 + 50:58 seconds AWST - 8:00 Beijing Time has Libra rising 19 degrees Sabian : A Jewish Rabbi or A Rabbi shares a moral fable with his congregation that is based on his struggles with personal demons.

Comedian Bernie Mac Dies At 50 - Triggered by Mars-Pluto difficult transit - omg! news on Yahoo!

Bernard Jeffrey McCullough (October 5, 1957 – August 9, 2008),[1] better known by the stage name Bernie Mac, A stong Libra, with a Mars, Jupiter and Sun in Libra and ruler Venus in watery Fixed, Scorio @ 25 Degrees. When Bernie passed, Moon was close to 25+ Scorio both TSQ Neptune,Sun and Nodes - Perhaps most devastating was both a Jupiter Retro. @ 13 Capricorn applying to a Square with his natal Sun-Combust Jupiter and Mars...Then
a Pluto in Sagittarius (ruler Jupiter) transiting in deadly movement toward an exact SQUARE to his natal Mercury @ 28 Virgo 43 - Much less a transiting Mars on the war path @ 23 Virgo 48!
CHICAGO, IL. -- Comedian Bernie Mac has passed away at age 50, Access Hollywood has confirmed.
Chart Set for 10 AM CDT in Chicago.
He died Saturday morning in a Chicago-area hospital from complications due to pneumonia, according to his publicist, Danica Smith.
UPDATED: Comedian Bernie Mac Dies At 50 on Yahoo
Speculations of cause of death reveal: In 2005, it was revealed that the comedian suffered from sarcoidosis. He had been suffering from the inflammatory lung disease since 1983. His rep previously said Mac's sarcoidosis was not related to the pneumonia, which hospitalized the star last week. Hmmm...Jupiter has been transiting Retrograde had a deleterious effect for sure.
Bernie who was not only quick-witted with Mercury at last decante of Virgo but with a close contraparallel to Mars - a sharp, acidic wit caused audiences to crack oup.
Mac started as a stand-up comedian in Chicago's Cotton Pickin' Club. He won the Miller Lite Comedy Search at the age of 32, at which point his popularity as a comedian began to grow. A performance on HBO's Def Comedy Jam thrust him into the spotlight.
Fate or Destiny, with four TSQ's natally all invovling the Nodes, put this King of Comedy on top. Mac was one of the few African American comedic actors to be able to break out of the traditional "black comedy" genre, having roles in the 2001 remake of Ocean's Eleven and becoming the new Bosley for the Charlie's Angels sequel, Charlie's Angels: Full Throttle. In 2003, he also turned in an impressive performance in a small but important role as "Gin, The Store Dick" in, Bad Santa. He also starred in, Guess Who?, a comedic remake of the film Guess Who's Coming to Dinner.

Nodes revisited: Of course with N Node-S Node: Scorpio @ 10* 49' and Taurus 10* 49'there was a price to pay. From the standpoint that his natal Chiron @ 12 Aquairus was also involved in three of his TSQS. Let's look at the Sabian Symbol for 11 Scorpio - A drowning man rescued. Or even more appropriate for a romantic like Bernie who sometimes ungraciously (Mars-Libra) bares his soul:" A man at seaside watches a beautiful young woman simming towards the reef, where he is sitting. When she has problems getting out of the water, he reaches down and helps her as their eyes meet. "
Or 10 Taurus 49 S. Node : A woman sprinkling flowers. More graphic representation that relates to Bernie's ability to recognize the good and bad character in others plus provide guidance to the young.
"A Dutch woman pulls, weeds, plants and seeds her daughter uses a shiny tin watering can to irrigate the flowers. " How close does art resemble deep soul symbols since on the Bernie Mac Show - aired on November 14, 2001. Mac's character on the show (a stand-up comedian) was married with no kids of his own. the basic premise for the show: the character Bernie Mac takes in his sister's children after she enters rehab (a premise taken from one of Mac's routines in the 2000 film, The Original Kings of Comedy).

Speaking more of his health and prediliction to weak lungs with Chiron in Opposition to Uranus-Leo constituting one arm of a Grand Cross - the other arm those fixed nodes in Scorpio-Taurus.

No wonder Edwards not only issued a statement of admission circa 5 PM ET but also gave an exclusive interview on Nightline to ABC News correspondent Bob Woodruff, that he did have an affair with 44-year old Rielle Hunter, but said that he loved only his wife, Elizabeth.

My astrologer/star watcher friends, remember that Pallas(the strategist-warrior of justice) just entered Gemini on August 4th @ 12:31 AM, the same day that Moon-Mars met in another mutable Virgo.

Yet Neptune's current path thru Aquarius and directly across of Leo planets which signify love and romance - the issue of both faithfulness in marriage and forgiveness are the domininate tones: "Two years ago I made a very serious mistake," Edwards said, blaming the prominence of being a vice presidential candidate. "All of which fed a self-focus, an egotism, a narcissism that leads you to believe that you can do whatever you want,"

No this is not an isolated incident as reflected in this story that took place on July 22nd (Sun ingress into Leo to join Venus and S Node) out of Canada : A 17-year-old who died after Winnipeg police officers fired a stun gun at him Tuesday was a suspect in a theft who refused to put down a knife when ordered, police said Wednesday. One officer deployed a Taser. The teen was admitted to hospital in critical condition and died shortly after.
One officer deployed a Taser. The teen was admitted to hospital in critical condition and died shortly after. Here we have Mars-Saturn at MidHeaven in Virgo creating a real control situation especially with both of these planets trine Jupiter in tightly wound Capricorn. We are seeing
what would normally be a positive, alliance between Virgo-Leo planets augmented by
the South Node Dragon's Tail in Leo Opposing the asteroid of surefire injury Chiron...
Out of Texas we get even more social, physical and mind control with a connection to Uranus in Pisces (sign relating to prisons-institutions) with this story on July 30th right before the Venus-Neptune opposition : GONZALES, Texas. -- A school in Texas will force students who don't follow the rules to wear prison-like jumpsuits in a controversial move this coming school year. Here we see Venus-Leo @ 22 * Quincunx Uranus as Neptune is in mutual reception creating futuristic change all with the applying Mars-Uranus Opposition.
Now as Venus (Leo) trines Pluto (Sag) exact on August 4th - other incidents where the authorities (Saturn-Virgo) have not only put young people in jeopardy thru direct attacks but also sent them willy nilly into harms way.

Mid Summer Dreams or Nightmares for Bush Aides?

August, is a time when the valiant, heroic sign Leo, is ready to risk his/her life for true love but not always his/her pride and dignity. For many us this month will be a time of beautiful dreams coming true and for others a series of nightmares The Eclipse Season resumes with the New Moon on 8-1 at 6:13 AM ET. Our heroic paths may not be all that clear with Neptune, the esoteric ruler of Leo now in the sign of community Aquarius opposing personal planets. This is a time when we need to cooperate with the divine. Venus is separating from a difficult opposition to Neptune (exact on July 31st) a time of idealistic love along with defeats, the acceptance of losses which includes resignations of the famous and infamous. On July 30th the "Wannabe Machiavelli" Karl Rove who befriended the Idiot Prince was cited for contempt of Congress. See Chart Above for Solar Eclipse Outer Wheel to Rove natal chart.

Update: July 31st with Venus Opposing Neptune @ 12:30 PM EDT: WASHINGTON - President Bush's top advisers are not immune from congressional subpoenas, a judge ruled Thursday in an unprecedented dispute between the two political branches of the U.S. government. . There are rumors (Neptunian energies) of Rove being publicly pursued for possible punishments including an array of alleged past and present Bush administration misdeeds. On August 6th Mercury opposes Neptune adding to the examples of deception and scandals. On Aug. 15th Sun opposes Neptune exactly right before the next eclipse a Partial Lunar Eclipse @ 24 Aquarius. Both Eclipses fall across Rove's (born Dec. 25, 1950) Ascendant Descendant making him the next scapegoat before GWB finally falls. Of course the president's chief of staff, Josh Bolten, and former legal counsel Harriet Miers would have to accept defeat or even jail too.

Cynthia McKinney Taps the Power of Mars Translating the Light of Saturn Opposing Uranus

"I am asking you to vote your conscience, vote your dreams, vote your future, vote Green," McKinney told
the convention's 800 or so attendees. "A vote for the Green Party is a
vote for the movement that will turn this country right-side-up again."

MckInney (born March 17, 1955) sorry no exact time yet - who has Uranian rule Chiron, Venus and Mercury all in Aquarius will be creating real change. After the Mars-Saturn alignment on July 10, 2008 brought the upcoming Saturn-Uranus Opposition on the Election Nov 4th we are all on edge and ready for some time of revolutionary change. Cynthia has a Greand Trine with Sun (leadership) to Uranus (innovation-freedom) to Saturn (organization) in her natal chart all in emotional water signs giving a positive nurturing tone to her campaign.

The August 6th Mars-Uranus Opposition (2:37 PM EDT) is a monster
This explosive aspect has many mundane and personal interpretations dealing with possible major earth changes from Tsunamis to Earthquakes yet creates a final release of restrictions, seething anger creating rash and sudden disruptions. Yet every aspect whether opposition, square or trine involving volatile planets like Mars (agression-initiative) or Uranus (unexpected change- need for freedom) has a positive side. In this case a chance for lots of people to experience liberation and end inhibtions whether self-imposed or from outside sources.
This Mars-Uranus Opposition will give a huge boost to the Green Party as many of the previously disaffected factions in this country will began to really get up and speak out.
FYI another interpretation of this opposition which involves Uranus in Neptune ruled Pisces directly relating to oil may be a critical reaction to Iran's Oil Bourse. The Oil Bourse, which finally begins to trade Oil in Euros not dollars on July 14th kicking off the Oil Bomb!
Cynthia's Vesta (devotion-focus-commitiment) is @ 22 Gemini 01 dealing with intellectual communications, networking as an asset but also a vulnerabilty with a SQ to her Sun creating some conflicts dealing with her life's work but now their is a resolution. Most remarkable on August 6th her Vesta is exactly - perfectly TSQ to the above opposition of Mars-Uranus - expect some major media drama!

Rove in Contempt Ignores the Subpoena but the Law Doesn't Ignore Him

Part One:
After today's nose thumbing and impending Congressional thumping, Karl Rove might be asking himself "You wanna go to jail or you wanna go home?"
this of course was said by another Capricorn, Denzel Washington, considered a lot cooler then Rove, in a movie about police corruption all the way to the top: Training Day.
Rove whose cool, calm Aquarian rising isn't offering any clue to how scared he might be especially with Impeachment back on the table. A spokesperson for a National Impeachment Network (NIN) lobbying delegation, which has been meeting with Congress members in Washington DC this week, said "There is clear evidence that the mood of Congress has shifted. Impeachment hearings could start this month."
Both Bush and Rove think they are above the law and are in for a rude awakening especially when Mars Opposes Uranus @ 22 degrees on Aug. 6, 2008. This opposition of Mars-Saturn will cross Rove's Pisces N. Node and Virgo S. Node so it will be the details that will trip him up. The petty dictator GWB gets a full on TSQ to his Nodes @ 20 Gemini-Sagittarius On that day in August, Neptune-Chiron-North Node will all be in GW's 7th adding insult to injury to his fatal demise and impeachment hearings?


What's up with this Wannabe Machiavelli Karl Rove who befriended the Idiot Prince? (I wrote back in July 2005 about the Bush-Rove relationship)
Today Former White House adviser Karl Rove defied a congressional subpoena and refused to testify Thursday about allegations of political pressure at the Justice Department, including whether he influenced the prosecution of a former Democratic governor of Alabama. With both noted malefics, Mars and Saturn in vicious conjunction transiting his 7th house of open enemies and legal problems, Rove again is telling a congressional committee to kiss his ass. What gives?

I ask this incredulously especially since Aquarian Committee Chairwoman Linda Sanchez (born January 28, 1969) (D-Calif.) is one person Rove doesn't want to trifle tangle with. Linda with her Juno-Pallas in fiery Sagittarius and her natal Mars in determined, intense and persistent Scorpio is someone Rove better pay attention to - Watch her tear up Dubya's legal lackey and former attorney general: Alberto Gonzales back on May 10, 2007:

Sanchez who was having none of Rove's "executive by contact nonsense" that, is really a focused individual with (3) stelliums all touching her nodes of fate: one in Libra (Jupiter-Uranus-S Node0 brining previous legal experience perhaps from a past life demanding justice. The other with N. Node (1Aries)to Chiron and Venus offering universal compassion to those that have been injured. ( saying, "I hereby rule that Mr. Rove’s claims of immunity are not legally valid, and his refusal to comply with the subpoena and appear at this hearing to answer questions cannot be properly justified." Notice the side chart with Karl in the middle and outer wheel showing Linda Sanchiez contacts like a Neptune/Scorpio right at MC to offer an almost spiritual vendetta brought about by this Angel of Justice with a powerful Pluto-Venus opposition (Virgo to Pisces) right on Rove's Nodes! Again we will see he mark of Kali Ma helping right the traiterous wrongs.

I wrote back in my blog July 17, 2005 almost three years ago: "At this point in Rove's political career, the usual level headed, man of objective taste and actions has fallen into a pit of confusion. The illusions and fantasies will continue to play out with Sp (Secondary Progressed) (to 7/18/05) Mars/Venus and NNode at 21 Pisces getting blasted by Transiting Pluto in Sagittarius. Pluto takes no prisoners and sweeps everything out of our life like a monster hurricane and Rove's actions, values and future direction are all Sp in his his area of personality and how he faces the world."
(Well with Uranus (ruler of Rove's ascendant) stationing retrograde on June 26, 2008 @ 22 Pisces 39 just minutes away from K.Rove's North Node of destiny - the proverbial shit is going to hit the Rove machine's fans.

Back to the chart on the top of this page Today was both busy astrologically and with a Venus SQ the Moon aspect @ 4:10 PM adding a Woman's touch to the drama. Especially with Moon in Justice Oriented Libra moving across Rove's 8th house of power plays in direct conflict to Venus in his 6th: of day to day activities, civil servants and health.... We need to remember that Venus is void of course and is exerting more power Committee Chairwoman Linda Sanchez is setting the stage for a contempt charge which means Check in Chess - as Alonzo Harris said in Training Day: The shit's chess, it ain't checkers!
To further complicate this game of chess and strategy, it went barely notice that Bush declared a national emergency on June 26th, 2008 regarding the North Korea situation which could checkmate all of us with Martial Law! Obviously the "supposed democratic process " of a general presidential election will also be suspended.
Part Two Continued....

Perfect Political Storm Buries Fourth Amendent with Telecom Immunity Bill

On a day when Jupiter, the law giver, reached maximum brilliance this week, on July 9th, when it makes its closest approach to Earth for all of 2008 our rights to free speech were buried. Astrologically Jupiter @ 17 Capricorn symbol of the Urnion Jack or another flag flyiing from a new Britihs destoryer. Here we have the planet of exaggerations and belief systems ending the day in a tight TSQ to Sun and Moon with the crisis ridden first qtr. moon phase unable to integrate the power of dualistic Mars-Saturn in mutable Virgo, mutable opposition of Mercury (Air) to Pluto (in fiery Sagittarius) besides of course Uranus a potent symbol of sudden, unepected change moving backwards near the 4th house representing values as real estate and agriculture, housing and living conditions. It is the foundation or base of the society and its traditions.
Compromise Solutions or Restrictions of Technology?
Under the illusion of compromise with Libra Moon applying to a trine with Neptune, the more draconian results of this law are not revealed. "Th bill also would allow the government to obtain broad, yearlong intercept orders from the FISA court that target foreign groups and people, raising the prospect that communications with innocent Americans would be swept up." Another factor with the heavy emphasis on technology present with transits of Mars-Saturn in Virgo and Neptune in Aquarius SQ Pallas in TAurus to confuse the isueesl "The original FISA law required the government to get wiretapping warrants for each individual targeted from inside the United States, on the rationale that most communications inside the U.S. would involve Americans whose civil liberties must be protected. But technology has changed. Purely foreign communications increasingly pass through U.S. wires and sit on American computer servers, and the law required court orders be obtained to access those as well."
The perfect storm crossed our nation's legacy of freedom as
with Mars-Saturn together in Virgo (ruled by Mercury) transited the US Sibley Chart (July 4, 1776) 9th house of legislation, foreign relations just as Mercury Opposes Plutoacross the 1st and 7th houses of our Nations Image our nation as a whole and persona opposed by an agreement to support via an agreement or alliance in the 7th.
Plus Sun-Jupiter TSQ the Moon in Law Giving Libra - also Venus ruled Pallas @ 20 Taurus (Sabian: Moving finger points to significant message in a book) with a confusing SQ to Neptune @ 23 Aquarius (SAbian: A man turning his back on his passions and teaching from his experience). This aspect indicates an overloaded nervous system and erratic thinking which of course describes our Senators.

This important vote was obscured with cover stories about Jesse Jackson insulting Obama or the big grandstand sotry about how new DNA Technology Clears the Family of JonBenet Ramsey - Please this is a blatant obscuration of actual history being made and revolution fomenting... especially with transiting Uranus retrograde near the IC.,

Transiting Venus is closely opposing the US Sibley Pluto @ 27 Capricorn right on the Money-Resources aspect as the Sub-prime crisis cuts deeper into our GDP-Credit and economic health.

Yesterday as these cardinal aspects began to build with lunar ingress into Libra the writing was on the wall and the fix was in for the Telecom's.
Listen to this broadcast with Rachel Maddow Guest Hosts Countdown

The mutable energies of Mercury building to an exact opposition to Pluto both @ 29 degrees to reflect the most critical positions exact @ 2:49 AM July 10th. Mercury-Gemini represents the Telecom companies as opn enemies in the US Chart's 7th and Pluto the secretive and destructive effect of the shadow government crossing our nations first house.

Kali Ma in her Anger Meets the Boys of Bohemian Grove

Today's article in the Free Press International asks if John McCain will be attending July 11-27, 2008 Bohemian Grove? This article which downplays the entire Boho-Bilderberg and Illuminati connection as Mr.Woowoo goes to camp. Yes this article talks of the Masters of the Universe in jest with references to Nixon's comments about homosexuality. Clearly nobody in any media is taking in account astrological aspects for John Sidney McCain. An examle in the Tri Wheel below tells of a progressed Neptune, Juno, Moon and Mars all in Virgo in the 12th and trine the Capricorn Full Moon @ 26 Capricorn (Sabian Symbol: "a Mountain Pilgramage" A ritualistic combination is topped off by secondary progressed Mercury-Sun together in Mars ruled Scorpio very powerful from a ritual standpoint especially since transiting Mars-Saturn are together in their martial dominant best in close orb sitting in the 11th of group associations.
Also another somewhat political revolutionary event per the planets is a transiting Vesta @ Taurus applying to a conjunction with his progressed-natal Uranus @ 7 Taurus which could mean a Ritual Dedication to McCain's race for the Whitehouse.
This will be the year that many will no longer scoff at Icke with tongue in cheek passages which veil the truth: "However, according to Icke, members of this secret sect—including the aforementioned George H.W. Bush as well as Hillary Clinton—shed their human skins once a year and can be detected by their slitted, reptilian eyes."


Transiting Moon opposes his natal/progressed Pluto riding a red horse reminicient of the depression era.
This years Full Moon Coincides with the Bohemian Grove Event
Is Demeter on Strike Again?


The heat alone is in seeming destructive partnership with the massive conflagrations burning the hillsides will make this one of the most difficult Boho Events...
It will seem like the normally clean air around the Monte Rio resort will be filled with unhealthy smoke. So here we have the patriarchy in ceremonial robe laughing like naughty children like Mcain the III while Cali burns.
Lots of opinions about what really takes place at the Bohemian Grove

When we arrive at the Full Moon on July 18th we may find that things are progressively worse economically with Sun-Moon across the 2nd and 8th axis. This Full Moon at 26 degrees Capricorn will presage a dangerous cardinal T-square formation between Saturn, Uranus, and Pluto coming in August 2010. The last time this rare cardinal TSQ happened was in 1930-1931 during the great depression. During this July 18th lunation, both Mars-Saturn (ruler of Moon) are sitting on the DC chart's IC and Ceres is almost exactly opposed Jupiter. With Ceres (Demeter) the Goddess of Agriculture and Grain in Cancer we find that nurturance on all levels is on everybody's mind, especially the most basic survival level: Food. Just like the time in legend when Persephone was kidnapped by Hades-Pluto, our earth seems to be on strike as floods, hail and tornadoes have hammered America's breadbasket, while at the same time fires are choking the west coast. Many of us will feel like the crab who retracts its head back into the safe, protected shell till the rest of the world cooperates.


Kali Ma is Angry On the Full Moon
Just as food was a main topic at the recent G-8 meetings which actually are leading up to the Bohemian Grove Event, both Ceres-Mercury (recent ingress July 10) are opposing Jupiter (now in the 4th with scarce Capricorn making us all think lean.
Note that having mental Mercury in highly emotional sign of nurturance next to Ceres -the Goddess of Agriculture not only creates eating disorders but puts even a false sense or even exaggeration of what is true sustenance.
The Sabian Symbol for 27 Cancer on the Full Moon is "A storm in a canyon" (per Dr. Mark Edmond Jones, page 266) which deals with intensification of the untamed forces of nature. The Mother Goddess like the Moon has dual forms. Beside the gentle aspects there are the terrible ones known as Kali, Medusa, or the Sea Serpent, Typhon, dispatched by Zeus. The July 2nd New Moon has a Jupiter opposition to Sun-Moon-Venus all in the sign of the mother. Jupiter's opposition to the Sun has already forced legal, moralistic decisions via the Supreme Court laws, but next month a new level of judgment will occur. Kali has many faces in India and even if many of them are projections the notion of her terrible fierce fury is well known. As tectonic plates shift and extreme, even shocking, weather mirrors the mutability of Mercury-Gemini SQ Uranus-Pisces exact on July 5th. Besides the upcoming Mars-Saturn conjunction in Virgo, there is a difficult square from Juno to Mars. Juno in Sagittarius in US Sibley first house in stressful aspect to Mars will deal with difficulties in cooperation with foreign powers along with other problems involving domination and subjugation in partnerships. From July 24th till the end of the month explosive, fiery confrontations could occur.

New Moon July 2nd and Kwan Yin's return

Each lunation in 2008 has it's own unique galactic and spiritual flavor and tommorow's new moon in mothering sign Cancer at 10:19 PM is no exception. Today's Mars ingress into another feminine sign: Virgo (related to ISIS) brings us face to face with our own health and ideas of true service upon this planet. Even the Mayan calendar has the Galactic Tone 9 (patience) in the sign MANIK or Deer. The spirit of the deer with is about sacrifice and upholding the pillars of the four directions relates well to the protection offered by mother goddess. The primary symbol for this watery lunation is Kwan Yin. the merciful. Kwan Yin means “She who hears the cries of sentient beings." Kwan Yin, as also known as "Guanyin", had vowed to never rest until she had freed all sentient beings from samsara (cycle of reincarnation or rebirth in Hinduism, Buddhism, Jainism, Sikhism and other related religions). Other forms of this healing goddess include, Tibetan Tara, African Yemaya and the South-American Virgén de Guadalupe. All of these incarnations offer unconditional love and assistance in this world: blessings of children, health, and long life including rescuing people from drowning, lightning, and poverty

If there ever was a time when we needed the spirit of Kwan Yin upon this planet it is the Cancer lunation on July 2nd. The New Moon in Cancer this year claims spiritual marks of destiny per the chart set for Washington, DC @ 10:19 PM. The asteroid Nemesis is conjunct the N Node near Chiron and opposed S Node (Karma) representing the spirit of divine retribution against those who succumb to hubris. Bellatrix a fixed star in the constellation Orion, is the Heliacal rising star speaks of success born of struggle when we have to face our demons. Regulus and Mars are together rising in paran, linked to violence and destructiveness where one can gain great success but if they stoop to revenge, face a swift fall from grace. Nemesis may target some like the Neo-cons, who have bankrupted us with an illegal war that exhibits this form of overwhelming pride, self-confidence and arrogance. GWB one of the world's most famous Cancers has his solar return on July 6th (so does the Dali Lama born a few years earlier). Bush has transiting Mercury-Uranus SQ across his N Node-Uranus conjunction in Gemini in the natal 11th. This conflict not only deals with 11 house issues like community associations and special interest groups but the legislature, Congress and the Senate.

Aquarius is rising @ 12 degrees is Quincunx the Sun-Moon in Cancer indicating that some big time adjustments are coming. Uranus, modern ruler of Aquarius in the 2nd house of the economy includes supply and demand, the manner in which food and other resources are produced. is applying to a SQ with Mercury in the 4th. We should expect some bad news in the area of real estate and agriculture. Already the amount of foreclosures is creating a glut of houses on the market. In a report by the Case-Shiller home price index on June 24th: Home prices across 20 major U.S. cities have dropped a record 15.3% in the past year and are now back to where they were in the summer of 2004. The N Node, Chiron and Neptune are all together posited in the first house representing the image of the nation and outer persona of it's people. This represents people thirsting for progressive, future oriented change that won't stomp on their history of freedoms. The Sabian Symbol for 12 degrees Cancer Sun-Moon: "A Chinese woman nursing a baby with a message" Per Dr. Marc Edmund Jones (Sabian Symbols page 250). This symbol tells of a message to humanity filled with empathy and intuition. Alice Bailey, astrologer and writer of Esoteric Astrology had Mercury in this degree and did offer spiritual insights for the future. Vesta, the asteroid that rules devotion and commitment to service, along with sexuality, enters Taurus right before this lunation. In Taurus, Vesta brings a persistent focused effort which can bind together social groups. Kwan Yin, who was concentrated in her devotion, will be of tremendous help. Whether our challenges involve tragic events dealing with violent weather, earthquakes or other situations of overt aggression (7th) she will offer solace. Notice that this Mars has recently moved into Virgo for a dangerous meeting with Saturn exact on July 10th. Again worries of another a war with Iran are surfacing, perhaps via a militant incursion by Israel.
