Springtime for Bush
As May moves toward June and the beginning of summer, the triumphal military victory in Iraq is metamorphosing into a humanitarian and diplomatic nightmare for the Bush administration. Violence and crime are escalating in Baghdad, while a cholera epidemic is threatening in Basra. Electricity and clean water remain unavailable in many areas, and the UN Food and Agriculture Organization warns of impending starvation for most of the population. In addition, the entire basis for the war – Saddam’s much publicized hoard of weapons of mass destruction – is looking more and more like a fabricated ploy used to manipulate the American public and the UN. And finally, this week’s vicious terrorist attack in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, has shredded Bush’s bogus claim of al Qaida’s increasing incapacitation.
Until now, the teflon-seeming Bush has been generally immune from the unintended consequences of his military adventure. Last week, cloaked in the garb of a naval pilot, Captain America crowed his great victory to the swooning masses from the deck of the USS Abraham Lincoln. More recently, he has been happily preaching the Good Word on his tax cuts, promising they will cure everything from poverty to the common cold. But this optimistic and expansive attitude, with its aura of untouchable success, is about to end. It derives from Jupiter, which has been hovering around Bush’s Ascendant/ Mercury/ Pluto conjunction since mid-February. Especially strong since early April when Jupiter turned direct, this benefic transit ends as of mid-May.
Increasingly, the brutal reality of Pluto has begun overlapping Bush’s robust enjoyment of Jupiter during the first half of May. These are the last days of the Pluto station opposite Bush’s Uranus/progressed MC. Until May 20th, expect serious upsets, turmoil, and powerful surprises to impact the Commander-in-chief, and radically alter the status quo. The attack in Saudi Arabia is a manifestation of this transit. The Pluto transit is also returning to its exact conjunction of Inaugural Moon (until May 25), stimulating the administration’s underlying fear of terrorists and its attempt to take rigid control of everything so as to thwart feelings of powerlessness.
Interestingly, as Pluto recedes, Bush will be under a transit of Chiron square to his natal Moon from May 20 through June 8, suggestive of emotional volatility, upsets, and things generally setting off his propensity for peevishness. The fallout from the tumultuous events of the May Pluto transit, the increasing frustrations and fractiousness in Iraq, combined with the weakening of Jupiter’s success aura are likely to greatly irritate and disturb Mr. Bush.
A look at the Gulf War II chart indicates the increasing difficulties that will continue to plague the occupation of Iraq, especially during May. Here we find the natal Mercury/Sun conjunction in a square with natal Saturn, indicating tremendous obstacles in performing daily tasks and achieving stated goals. Although this pattern is endemic in the chart, it is particularly strong during May 2003, when transiting Saturn moves to the exact square of first, Mercury (27 Pisces), and then the Sun (29 Pisces). The first half of May, while Saturn has been square Mercury, has brought to light the total inefficiency and incompetence with which the occupation has been proceeding. The administration has been deluged with criticism that it neglected to plan adequately for the post-war occupation, having blithely ignored concerns about the health and safety of Iraqis, as well as their shrinking food supply.
Beginning around May 20th, simultaneous with Bush’s Chiron transit square his natal Moon, transiting Saturn will square the war chart Sun. During this period of about 10 days or so, difficulties in Iraq will seem more intractable than ever. The stated goals of finding and destroying WMD, as well as the attempts to bring stability and democracy to the country, will be frustrated and seem out of reach. Since the war chart Sun rules the natal 6th house, we can also expect the already serious humanitarian problems to become exacerbated during this time.
Another simmering difficulty for the Bush administration is the ongoing turf war and policy struggle between Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld and Secretary of State Colin Powell, which is likely to continue to fester, with periodic virulent eruptions. Uranus, with its station square to the Powell/Rumsfeld composite Sun and Venus and conjunct composite Saturn, is now triggering the enormous latent tension between the two men. This transit stretches from mid-March through mid-August 2003, with a particularly volatile period likely during June - and especially June 21 through 25 - during the Mars/Uranus conjunction at 2 Pisces 35. Whatever the events surrounding this conflict between Powell and Rumsfeld, there is likely to be some connection to the circumstances related to the powerful Mars station of July and August, which suggests a combative Bush pursuing the possibility of some kind of military or aggressive action.
It may be that June 2003 brings other, far more serious difficulties for Mr. Bush and the country, however. There are several indications that it will be a time of grief, hardship, and increasing struggle. In the US chart, Saturn will be square to the Midheaven (6/11 – 6/19) and then conjunct natal Venus (6/20 –6/27). This suggests significant problems having potentially to do with the economy, health concerns, and/or employment issues, as well as a time of burden, pessimism, and a loss of international prestige. With Uranus simultaneously quincunx the Midheaven, sudden, upsetting, and unexpected events are likely to be the source of these issues.
During this same period, there are Saturn transits hitting the charts of Bush's "Brain," Karl Rove, and Donald Rumsfeld. Rove will undergo Saturn square his natal Saturn (6/12 – 6/20) and opposite his Sun (6/19 – 6/27). Rumsfeld will experience Saturn conjunct his Venus (6/5 – 6/14), square his Moon (6/11 – 6/20) and quincunx his Saturn (6/16 – 6/23). In addition, Saturn will be quincunx the Inaugural Sun (6/2 – 6/17). Taken together, and with the aspects to the US chart, these configurations suggest that the coming difficulties will reflect poorly on the Bush administration (Rove chart and Inaugural MC) and possibly have to do with failures or significant setbacks in the war arena (Rumsfeld). An increase in worldwide terrorism directed at American targets is possible during much of the month, given the distress suggested by Saturn and the suddenness of any likely Uranus manifestation.
Events in June may culminate rather dramatically with the Uranus/ Mars conjunction between June 21 and June 25. It will be quincunx the US Midheaven and occur during the Saturn transit to US Venus. We can expect a sudden, upsetting, and violent event that causes sorrow and grief in the country.
During July and August, an enormous amount of Mars energy impacts Bush’s, Rumsfeld’s, and the US charts. This suggests a decidedly militant attitude and possible military engagement during that time. I am left wondering if the painful and upsetting events of June, and especially the potentially volatile last 10 days of the month, are what feed into a newly aggressive attitude from the administration in July and August.

thanks for the above..which of the astrologers here had said that the eclipse was going to set off the islamic wheel?
Nancy, as I've said on another site, you've done an excellent job. I look forward to Jupiter leaving this mad man's ascendant, and Saturn moving in to give him what he fully deserves. Again, my hope is that this administration will implode. It is their just reward for the hell they are putting this country through.
Another well-written, and well-thought out article Nancy. Thank you. I agree with all that you say concerning Iraq. As far as the unfolding of events in June and July, I guess we will just have to wait and see. I can see unemployment becoming a major domestic problem in the near future.
To the first poster on this thread, Roxanne - concerning the eclipse and prediction on Islam, I don't recall exactly what was said, but there was this poster who went by the name of "Hoodwinked", who used to be around, and had a lot to say on the subject,but I don't know if he/she is still around, and may be able to answer your question.
Great article thank you. But again, I say, unless the corporate media are willing to strip off some of that teflon, the public will still be in a state of suspended denial. I wish I could be more optimistic; I fear it will take a lot more than Saturn changing signs to do this.
Roxanne, I pointed out change with the eclipses several weeks ago with the "How Deep is this Valley" article. The May 31st eclipse is a big bell ringer to the rest of the summer and early fall.
yes. larry don't worry, i can feel it's all going to change. it's changing already. my husband pointed out how brilliant usama is to wait until bush claims victory to start the attacks again..showing that he is in fact powerless...my big thing now is to figure out who in fact is the beast (bushie sealed our fate with going into iraq to make us the 'whore of babylon'), in the bible..is it the islam fundys or is it kim. to me that is the question of the universe at this point...the attacks are probably going to move to europe real soon, and then onto america by the time we go thru our saturn stuff...pretty scary..
This is a very well written, astute analysis, Nancy. A question I have; however, is a why? question to [some] of the respondents: I wonder why you seem so elated to hear of possible horrific occurances to our nation of people? When I read "We can expect a sudden, upsetting, and violent event that causes sorrow and grief in the country", it makes me SICK, especially since I have a loved one serving in the military, who has yet to return home. There is nothing FUN coming from this karmic retribution, and we will all pay the prices that come from our President's "problems".
Hi Peggy,
I think that for Bush to lose, things have to go poorly in some areas, especially the economy. Otherwise, there is no impetus for people to look beyond the propaganda. The painful circumstances will wake them up and they will blame Bush. I don't think anyone wants sorrow for the country. But they do want failure for Bush if that is what will get him out. Unfortunately, he has already failed in numerous areas but no one notices. It is very scary to think what it will take to wake people up.
Regarding Bush's "transit of Chiron square to his natal Moon from May 20 through June 8, suggestive of emotional volatility, upsets, and things generally setting off his propensity for peevishness".
Should we expect another pretzel attack, or maybe more boils? Just wondering.
Ooo... boils! Cool. And great insight I might add. He has to wear those in public.
Between election 2004 and Inaugural 2004, Mercury goes retrograde, even though Mercury is direct at both of these crucial times. Do you astrologers have any ideas on what this could mean, or maybe it has no relevance at all. Just curious.
Boils usually come with Saturn hittinghis Moon, but this could do it. I rather think he will be upset becasue things aren't going his way. The last time it hit, his war kept being postponed by the UN.
I am wondering if the aspects in June might not bring a sudden, sharp, huge decline in the dollar. Both Uranus and Saturn hit the US MC while Saturn then hits the US Venus. This is another scenario that would fit those aspects. If the dollar declines enough, a huge amount of foreign capital might flee the country, which cause an economic disaster here.
Nancy, I was just thinking yesterday that it could be a major economic upheaval that could possibly wake up the country, and waa-laa, here you are saying it. You have to remember that it was Saddam Hussein who was the first to accept the Euro instead of the dollar for currency to buy his oil, which must have upset the U.S. tremendously, even though no one has said anything about that. If everybody starts accepting the Euro, then U.S. and Britian are in for hard times.
I think we will either see a sharp decline of the dollar, an increase in terrorism, or some kind of massive revolt in Iraq in June.
Well, if it's the dollar in deep doo-doo in June, you'll start seeing the repugs themselves turning on the administration. Their bank accounts are everything, eh? Money makes the world go-round, as far as they're concerned. Don't mess with their fricking money, even in Texas!!
What bothers me is that we will all suffer. I'm wondering how many jobs it will cost. Talk about an angry American public.
hi peggy! saw your comments above..you don't have to be serving the military to feel what this country goes thru..no one here wants terrible things to happen. if we did, we'd love george bush, please remember that. but we can't dream on, and hope he'll do his time without us feeling the pain..that's being in denial. we can't do that..we are seeing that we are right in disliking his policies because the stars are indicating he makes bad moves, handles things poorly, and that shows us that we are rightly accusing him of ruining the country..
plus, this is a space we can come to grieve together..we grieve before things all hit the fan, as they do play themselves out..it's a sort of consolation. we say, 'look things are going to get bad, and the guy we hate, of course is going to do the wrong thing, to make things worse, but we have to get through it, can we? will we?' it's more of that, than it is, 'wow things will be bad, isn't that great?' please understand.
I just heard that Ari Fleischer has decided to pursue other dreams and is leaving his post as press secretary. They are saying "his heart is telling him it's time to go." Maybe he is sensing something or knows he doesn't want to face what's ahead.
Great article Nancy!
As someone who reads this site on a regular basis, I have to admire the
way this site has grown, and the scope
and breadth of the astrological discussions does my heart good.
To everyone who keeps this site going,
thanks a bunch!!
Just a thought-
As to the dollar/economic problem, I have read in other places about the
REAL reason we invaded Iraq- and it
has to do with OIL and DOLLARS. Is there any info on the timing/likelihood
of a move by OPEC to switch its reserve
currency (from dollars to Euros)??
If that happened, it would likely seal
the deal for Shrub & Co. ...
Thanks again,
Subudei
Subudei, it looks like now Iraq is thinking about dropping out of OPEC.
http://www.nytimes.com/reuters/news/news-iraq-opec.html
The U.S. adviser to Iraq's Ministry of Oil said it may be in that country's best interest to disregard quotas set by OPEC and export as much oil as it can, The Washington Post reported in its Saturday edition.
Phillip Carroll, former head of Royal Dutch Shell's U.S. operations, also told the Post in an interview that oil drilling and production contracts signed by the ousted Iraqi government with companies in Russia, China and France were potentially void or subject to renegotiation.
With world energy markets anxious for any indication of the level of future Iraqi production, Carroll noted the country had historically been an ``irregular'' OPEC participant.
``They have from time to time, because of compelling national interest, elected to opt out of the quota system and pursue their own path. ... They may elect to do the same thing. To me, it's a very important national question,'' Carroll was quoted as saying.
The Post also said Iraqi Oil Ministry officials were actively considering pulling the country out of the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries in order to export as much crude as possible once oil fields had returned to full capacity.

If anyone's interested,
Ari Fleischer, Lawrence A. Fleischer

No time known
Ari has his Mercury at 14 Scorpio and that was being squared by Neptune, I would bet Ari doesn't just lie to the press, he would lie to everyone and I bet he lied to the wrong people one too many times.
yes, sally, he's "lied" to us, the people...but he'll still have to get thru june..
Ari may just know a few little secrets and has decided to opt out, knowing full well that the sh*t is going to hit the fan . . . Saturn is moving closer and closer to his Mars and to oppose his natal Saturn, at the same time it hits GWB's Sun. How interesting. I'd want to be outta there too. Probably a career-saving move.
Hey! I just discovered this site and it's really great. I know several people to whom I will be mentioning this.
That said, it is comforting reading that bush is going to face more adversity, but there's a problem. The media and the people in general seem to have no clue about this, and even less interest in it. Does anyone see the collective consciousness of the American people changing/rehabilitating/waking up at all?
I hate the thought of major adversity affecting him bringing pain to the average Joe. But could it be that this will be the only way to shake America out of its slumber? I fear it is, but man, what a choice.
I guess, mainly, what we all want to know here is - WHEN WILL WE BE RID OF THIS GUY?!?!? AND HIS CABAL OF EVIL HENCHMEN?!?!?!?!?
Any thoughts?
Thanks again!
Mary
