Spring Equinox March 20, 2004
1:49 AM Washington, DC
Cast off the mantle of Winter. That cold, fear inducing, mind numbing emotion which creates depression and serves to debilitate you. Be done with 'oh woe is me', 'woe unto us'. Phooey.
How powerful a seed time we have with this Spring Equinox (Spring Ingress, Vernal Equinox, Oestara) and a new moon. How ironic that Bush celebrates his ultimate failure with the Iraq Debacle in the darkest phase of the passing season and waning moon. All his bravado and bushpucky will be lost in the abyss of darkness. How refreshing to see the media, journalists admit 'fear impacted their reporting' during the Iraqi War. "Fear of being out of sync with a punitive government'. (Full story).
Spring Equinox is all about the Sun. The US transit chart the Sun is 0 degrees Aries and we find it still in the US 3rd House at the mercy of the Press, the Internet, the Radio, all things involved in communication. Might be the journalists are feasting on the facts they ignored early on.
Pluto a very powerful player forms a square with the US natal Neptune, is in opposition to the US natal Mars. The Sun siting at the IC (midnight) and forms a sextile with this malefic configuration. We're going to hear about every juicy detail. Transiting Mercury in the US 4th House is opposing the US. natal Saturn in the 10th House, the pResidents. What a great combination where mercurial Loki is gona talk, talk, talk about all the errors committed by Bush's Administration.
The Spring Equinox Chart has an ascendent of 2 Capricorn. So the energies are good for about three months. Glaring and in your face finds Saturn 6 Cancer in opposition to the Ascendent, and Saturn then trines Uranus at 4 Pisces in the 2nd House. More of the unexpected coming down the pipe. Mars at 29 Taurus forms an inconjunct with Mid-heaven, Pluto sextiles Mid-heaven, and Jupiter forms an aggravating expanding agitation with the Mid-heaven. The image we have of ourselves and the state of the nation is really getting worked over by these thugs. Did I mention Chiron? No? Chiron too has formed a strong square with Mid-heaven. Whack, whack, whack. Yeow! The pResident is taking a public flogging with plenty of international overtones.
Several hours later the new moon makes her appearance. (Chart) In this chart Pluto sits at midnight, the IC just kissing the cusp and in opposition to Mid-heaven (power to the people!!!!), then squaring the Ascendent, then good ole Saturn in the 10th House forms a powerful trine with Uranus, and squaring both are the Sun and Moon in the 7th. On this day world wide anti-War anti-Bush protests marches are occuring in harmony all over Europe and two hundred cities in the US. Protestors are planting seeds of change. George may turn a deaf ear, a blind eye, America however is going to get an earfull and an eyefull. Payup time.
The US new moon transit chart finds transiting Pluto in opposition to the US natal Mars (big change factor). Uranus is freewheeling in Pisces in the 3rd House of media and communications. Hello Al Franken and Jeanine Garafalo let the airwaves fly! Saturn is transiting the sign of Cancer and constricting the powers of Jupiter, kind of like a pressure cooker without a vent. Old Scalia won't recuse himself gotta save his good buddy Cheney from the justice system that is looking to nail his tail for manipulating the Energy Policy with his oil cronies. Jupiter moving retrograde is just gona cause this miscarriage of justice in our highest courts to be reviewed time and time again. I hear Scalia doesn't even support the US Constitution, how sick is that?
Expect the coming days to roil throughout Spring and come to a boil in the long hot summer.
