Gore to Endorse Dean! Hot damn they've got cajones! Okay so it warms the cockles of my heart that Gore is endorsing Dean. I recently gave up my 'not affiliated but registered' voter status and signed on to the Democrats side. So in answer to 'The Mountain Astrologer" magazine's question, 'Does my political affiliation affect my astrological interpretations'. Yes. I moan when they do something stupid, when waiting a day makes the difference. I rejoice when I see a chart like the one for the Gore to Endorse Dean announcement. I'm thrilled with the anticipation of their making the announcement in Harlem, New York which might also bring in my all time favorite Bill Clinton, the locale is just too too tempting. Then I decided to take a look at how a Dean and Gore friendship would look, how one would influence the other.
Bush's Boondoggle ~
The other news of the day was Bush's Boondoggle to the pharmaceutical contributors, from the lips of Jorge "We kept our promise. We found a way to get the job done". Half assed as usual. What a difference a day makes!
The Full Moon occurred in Washington, DC at 3:37 PM today and the internet ticker tapes within hours were flashing Gore to endorse Dean. That announcement is scheduled for 8:00 AM tomorrow according to CNN's InsidePolitics the Endorsement chart has a big red PLUS, whereas the Bush's Boondoggle chart has a big red X (like in a target) The transits to Howard Dean's natal chart finds a Cardinal Grand Cross. The energy generated with this configuration needs an outlet, a flow, a trine would be handy. Say the transiting Mars trine Howard's natal Sun will do nicely and exact on 12/8. The dynamics of the Grand Cardinal Cross have Jupiter at Midnight the IC cusp of the 4th House of the People in harmonious opposition lending its energy to the Noon Midheaven which is the 10th House cusp of the Nations Leader. Also transiting the 10th is Mars 26 in Pisces. Sounds like an oxymoron, the aggressive Mars in high-minded idealistic Pisces. Yet Mars energy is just what is needed to motivate this peaceful sign to action.
The other arm of this Grand Cardinal Cross finds my favorite gad about Mercury. At 7 degrees Capricorn this announcement is going to find roots among the People and the grassroots movements associated with changing the disastrous course our country is on. Along with the expansiveness of Jupiter and the combined resources of the media, Al Gore's endorsement is indeed a very big deal. Al Gore who won the popular vote in 2000 only to have the election ripped off by Bush Co and the Supreme inJustices, lends considerable credibility to Howard as being 'the Man of the People'.
The Beauty ~
The beauty here is the difference a day makes. Whereas Jorge raved, "We kept our promise. We found a way to get the job done". Albeit screwing our seniors with their Means Testing for Entitlement. Neither my husband nor I have renewed our AARP membership, we don't need to be sold short. The Medicare signing chart, for Bush's infamous derailment of Medicare spells it out. What jumps out is the close proximity of the transiting Sun and transiting Pluto nigh to forming a conjunction and so near the Ascendant that is in opposition to the transiting Full Moon at 14 Gemini 21 in the US 7th House is very edgy. That much power available can be so misused in infantile hands. Lot's of activity in the 1st House, all about 'me' with transiting Venus in Capricorn putting in an opposition to the US natal Sun certainly shows where the priorities lay, the decadence and decay. Chiron moves into the 2nd House which bodes ill quite literally, you only have to look as far as this years Flu Season and the lack of flu vaccines and the mis- dependence upon Western medicine to see the beginning of a catastrophe. The transiting Moon kissed Uranus at 00:35 AM before becoming full, natal Uranus is in the US 6th House. Our troops, our armies, our veterans, gratefully are exempt as the VA gets their pharmaceuticals from, guess where? Canada.
Dean Gore Comparison ~
What sparks my interest here is the placement of Al Gore's Mercury on Howard Dean's Midheaven (chart). Particularly since Al is involved in acquiring a cable channel to present a balanced view of our National situation. As my husband is often pointing out that 11 media corporations control 90 percent of the print, television and radio outlets. We live in Orwell's 1984 and we don't even get it. Al Gore is a smart savvy man and his tool is the 'pen' of mightier then the sword fame. Not bad for Howard's exposure. Al's Moon in Capricorn is close enough for government work with regard to Howard's Jupiter which forms a wide opposition to both Howard's natal Uranus which also makes a wide conjunction to Al's Uranus. Wow. Another kicker is in the 2nd House where we find Al's Ascendant leading off, followed by his Pluto, Saturn and Mars conjuncting Howard's Pluto! Talk about power assets! But that's not all, Al's Chiron conjuncts Howard's Sun, the Wounded Healer and the Doctor hmm.
This full moon will play into the Winter Solstice coming on December 22, 2004 George may be seeing a nice bump in the polls with Saturn moving off for a short time, and it's a small bounce. The Seniors are getting it, now if only our young people would. If they had any idea the debt that's being saddled on them when they reach their 'power years' we would hear howls as long and loud as those that echoed in the early seventies and the Boomer's had had it with Vietnam.
Peace
