Do you hear the Drums Drumming

If you are required to kill someone today, on the promise of a political leader that someone else shall live in peace tomorrow, believe me, you are not only a double murderer, you are a suicide too. Katherine Anne Porter “The Situation in American Writing” (1939)
War has to be nourished by lies. Margaret Deland, “The Kays” (1924)
For the first time in American History we are about to wage war on a country that we’ve been told is an enemy but to date we haven’t any proof that they have attacked us or any of our interests. In fact, according to the news service Debkafile, war by the United States against Iraq has already begun on August 6th, 2002 at 8:00am Middle Eastern time. The United States and British air fighters attacked the Iraqi Air Command and Control Centers in al-Nukhaib a desert area between Saudi Arabia and Iraq. The Command Center contained advanced fiber optic networks recently installed by the Chinese. It would seem the war has started, quietly and with stealth.
With an air strike on August 6th, there is an eerie connection to the Inauguration Chart (January 20, 2001, 12:02pm) of GWB and this administration. Mars and the Sun conjunct in Leo, with a square to the inaugural Mars at 16 degrees Scorpio and Mercury at 16 degrees Aquarius. The connections between the two charts gets better and points to a real likelihood of the Iraqi War having started on that date. In the Inauguration Chart, Pluto, Moon and Chiron are all in Sagittarius in the 8th house, squaring Venus in the 11th house of our “friends” The descendent in the Aug. 6th chart conjuncts that 17 degree Venus, turning our “friends” into potential enemies and critics, and hasn’t that been happening with Saudi Arabia, Russia Germany, France, and Jordan? Even England is highly critical of this “war.” The Inaugural Chart has the Sun, our leader, at the 10th house at 0 degrees of Aquarius, trining Jupiter in the 1st house at 1 degree Gemini. The Aug. 6th chart has transiting Jupiter in an exact opposition to our Leader’s Sun and sextiling natal Jupiter (a belief that we can do no wrong and if necessary “go it alone.”)
Once again we have Pluto in the Aug. 6th Chart conjuncting the South Node in Sagittarius, where it has been transiting this whole year. Pluto resides at the 4th house cusp with the South Node in a stress aspect to the Ascendant, the Inaugural Venus, and Moon, reflecting a strong indication this is a war of the past, even a war of his father’s, as Pluto falls across the parental axis. Not to forget that the ever present drifty, dreamy Neptune is still creating illusions, delusions, fantasies of grandeur to GWB’s Mercury of the mind, and Mr. Cheney’s Sun of the ego, leading this administration deeper and deeper into the “rabbit’s hole” believing they will find gold there. The final main aspect to this Aug. 6th Chart is Mercury, void of course, at the critical degree of 29 Leo in the 12th house, just having passed an opposition to Uranus. Mercury in this chart rules the Ascendant (we the people) and the mid-heaven (our leaders), the up shot of that aspect is “we don’t know what’s going on, and probably don’t know what we are doing. On a smaller scale we have the Aug. 6th Moon ruling the 11th house (again the people) inconjuncting Neptune ruling the 7th house of partners and open enemies and we don’t see the deceit and lies in this war or the backstabbing and we will not know who our friends or enemies are. The American people will not have a clear grasp on who the good guys and who the bad guys are. Nor will our leaders be able to see the build up of anger and frustration the women of America feel about this war, and the direction of the Administration. In 2003, women will play a surprising and powerful role in the politics of this administration. Not necessarily from within the administration, but from without. In the Inaugural Chart, Venus, Mars and the North Node form a grand trine with the Moon squaring Venus and sextiling Uranus. Women may be silently biding their time, particularly with the Warrior Goddess Pallas Athena transiting the US Moon and Uranus setting off the anger of the Goddess.
While the August 6th chart at first glance would seem to spell a successful campaign, it portends wounding and disaster for the administration. And what about us, the American People? Transiting Chiron is now making an opposition to the US Venus and Jupiter, Venus rules the 10th house of our public standing and 6th house of health and jobs, Jupiter rules the 1st house of ourselves. There is a painful wounding in those areas, hopefully with lessons learned.
Politically, the Republicans need to walk cautiously around this war of GWB’s. Already some Republicans have wisely been questioning the purpose and meaning of a war with Iraq. Their party is also under the fog of Neptune opposing their collective Mercury, and since their Mercury trines their Saturn, they could get caught up in the “delusion” of the day and believe in the rightness of their actions, only to find the fluffy white clouds on which they hope they will land, hasn’t a floor. Transiting Uranus is now squaring their natal North Node creating either a challenge or breakup of the new plans they set when Saturn crossed over that same spot at the 2000 Election, and giving them a shock in the process.
The Democrats have a number of reorganized dates for their party, but I am testing and using the Andrew Jackson reorganized chart from May 21, 1832, 10:00am in Baltimore, MD. Based on that chart the Democrats seem to have gained from GWB’s oath of office, and can have a slight gain from this “hidden war,” but only a slight one. The faster they can move back to the perception that they are the party of the people, the better they will fair. Their message has been repressed since the shocking blow of the 2000 election when transiting Uranus conjunct their natal Uranus and squared their natal Chiron wounding their hopes of continued leadership. Plus Saturn moved into Gemini the sign of their Sun and has been squaring their Mars/Jupiter conjunction, creating a situation of erring on the side of caution. Their star should begin to rise when Saturn transits into Cancer, and they feel the safety of stepping up to their liberal roots.
Robert Hitt of AstroEcon has long predicted that one of the parties would go by the wayside, ceasing to exist while a new party based on a combination of fiscal conservatism and liberal ethics. If he is right, at this point it could be either party. Both are at a crossroads, and neither seems to realize that the majority of the people don’t feel represented. We looked to George Bush and his administration to protect us from the terrorists, now we are trying to find someone to protect us from George Bush and his administration. This country is under a heavy emphasis of the outer planets, Uranus, Neptune and Pluto and those planets almost always promise up-endings in a most surprising way.
I agree with you .
