New Moon Solar Eclipse 29 Aries
April 19, 2004 9:21 AM, Washington DC
The mongo powerful New Moon Solar Eclipse sets up a powerhouse performance with the added aspecting of the fiery Spring Equinox Mars of 29 Taurus. Falling in the NMSE 12th House (chart) it plays into the double whammy moon adding to our global drama. Sitting fully on the threshold of the U.S. 5th House cusp the star lights, new moon and sun, are minutes away from initiating Act II.
The 5th House represents how the nations people interact according to culture. This is reflected in the peoples recreational activities, speculation, the Stock Market, gambling casinos, love affairs, theatre, movies, the Olympics. See Claudia Dikinis's Astro Law for more mundane house meanings. The transiting Lunar South Node Rx (some call it karma), where you manifest actions you have taken, energies you have taken in or put into motion. At 11 Taurus it is back pedaling to meet the sun and moon luminaries. Taurus a tangible earth sign makes it plain as day, in your face, see it, touch it, feel it. In the meantime Spain exits stage west.
The audience stirs as the People are engrossed watching the curtain rise revealing the Puppet Masters scheme as the pResident comes under increased pressure from entanglement in his administrations web of lies and deceit against the American People. Some will say that transiting Mercury at 25 Aries conjoins these block buster headliners. These stellar lights crossed path earlier with Mercury Rx, our Loki trickster and like the Ring Master Loki is, the internet, the media is telling America all about George Bush's pre Iraq War plans, monies spent on Iraq before Congress knew about it out of the Afghanistan slush fund. The presses roll on with tattle tale books by O'Neil, Clarke, and Woodward. The faint rumblings of impeachment are heard, oh that was John Dean's book. They're just highlighting the facts, and Condi has no credibility.
Act One the final scene opens with Transiting Pluto moving toward an exact opposition with the U.S. Natal Mars with transiting Mars conjuncting the U.S. Natal Mars (Mars return) on the 24th of April. Well that's death, destruction and more aggression than Jack Nicholson's "Shining" ever conceived. Condi's warning of attacks occurring in our country before the November elections (echo's what we've heard on the internet for months). So okay tricky scorpio woman, are you prepping the ground; laying out the story for a self fullfilling prophecy, or another Bush and House of Saud arrangement? Transiting Pluto continues to remake our national image, and right now that is awfully ugly, violent, intollerant, uncompassionate, oh that's right we've a psycho dry drunk representing the best of our nation. Says a lot about us as a people don't you think?
Uranus continues it's freewheeling, unfettered ride through the Piscean 3rd House at 5 Pisces. No shortage of hot leads for the enterprising journalist (internet, television or newspaper). Communications can create some surprises, emails from constituents, letters to the editor. Advertising should be strong. Time Magazine's latest cover, 'George W. Bush Radical Gambler', how's that for a image of the U.S. 5th House amplified by the U.S. 3rd House, pretty slick. No shortage of danger either if you're traveling by train, plane, or automobile.
Transiting Chiron 26 Capricorn is taking a scalpel to the U.S. 2nd House, our national resources as it forms a conjunction with the U.S. natal Pluto. Bye bye $$$$ bye bye. Sneaky, slimy, Neptunian oily repug thugs, the doctor is in. Have we had enough?
The New Moon invites the People to take part in this drama. Plop your money down for the candidate of your choice. Stand up, speak out the stage is yours. Use your resources and resourcefullness to set the stage for Act II, a new President.
The Eclipse path impacts Antarctica, the Southeast Atlantic Ocean, the southern half of Africa and Madagascar. (Information from Maynard's "Celestial Guide 2004"). Nigeria? Yellow cake? Oh, Joe Wilson's tell all book!
Pass the popcorn please. The curtain is rising.
