Blessed are the meek for they shall inherit the earth (The Beatitudes)
I dated a Virgo once, he was the oddest and most eccentric man I ever met. He kept notes on everything. His obsession with detail nearly drove me nuts. He was a good attorney however and his clients loved him. His psychosis was being a compulsive workaholic. It didn’t work out between us, however his star has risen as an attorney.
That little story brings me to Henry Waxman, our very own Mr. Smith. He may not look like Jimmy Stewart, you don’t hear from him often, and he sometimes writes articles but not very much. He’s a little guy with a mustache and I don’t know how big his office is, but I know it’s filled with a ton of legal pads covered in notes. Representative Waxman from California has kept an accurate and tight record of every single thing this administration has done over the last three and a half years. He has kept a record of every misstep, kept them, developed a paper trail by writing memos and requesting documents he is entitled to under the Constitution. Of course, this administration never answers and they don’t send the documents but Henry writes that down too and files it away. He keeps in his files every deed, every word, every misdeed and he dots all the I’s.
Representative Henry Waxman from California is a, (can you guess) Virgo, born September 12, 1939 in Los Angeles, California. He isn’t just any Virgo; he has 5 planets in Virgo including the Sun and Moon, making him a double Virgo. His Moon conjuncts Mercury exactly, the ancients said this aspect was a sign of genius. His Venus conjuncts Neptune and is part of a grand earth trine with Mars in Capricorn (conjunct the US Pluto) and Uranus in Taurus.
Mr. Waxman actually has a very simple and pointed chart, Saturn conjunct the South Node, he came here to make leaders everywhere responsible, Saturn also squares Pluto making him a bit defensive about his work underscoring his need for exactness. His Chiron sextiles his Sun giving his work a unique healing quality and Jupiter in Aries gives him a fire in his belly for the work. He takes “serving the people” seriously and literally.
You may not know it but Mr. Waxman is our champion, he is the hero of this present day drama playing out in America. He is keeping watch over the Constitution, the Federal Reserve, the taxes, and most importantly this administration. Mr. Waxman is the pebble in their shoe that will ultimately cripple this administration. It’s an absolute certainty that if there is ever an impeachment or trial for the ‘cabal’ it will be Henry Waxman’s files that will be used.
We don’t spend anytime at all on the good guys in government, they aren’t interesting, the ones who truly have our best interest at heart, in fact we don’t spend much time at all on any of the positives going on, unless those positives happen to make life miserable for the present day despotic government. This article about our very own “Mr. Smith” may be dull but I can assure you Henry Waxman’s work is not boring or dull and I would very much like to honor him.
CONGRESS
The body of Congress, who have long ago abdicated their responsibility to the people in favor of big business and because we abdicated our responsibility in holding their feet to the fire and making them accountability, find themselves in a rather embarrassing and difficult position.
There are a couple of dates for Congress, and while I look at the dates of the first sitting by the House of Representatives and the Senate in April 1 and 6 respectively, 1789 in New York, the one to follow is the first joint session of Congress in Washington, DC on Nov. 17, 1800 at 9:00am. Venus is in the 1st house on the Ascendant at 21 Sagittarius. This is a “promise more than can be delivered” aspect. Wow, does that ring any bells for your representative?
The Universe is trying to give us a fix on this energy with the natal Venus cozying up to the fixed star Rasalhague, the head of the Serpent Charmer. If that isn’t a message of caution, I don’t know what is. Ptolemy felt it had a touch of perverted tastes and mental depravity. I wouldn’t want to comment on that assessment, not in public.
The 1800 chart in Washington favors the Republican Party and they consider the House of Representatives and the Senate to be rightfully theirs with the Democrats as unwelcomed houseguests that occasionally outnumber them. The Democrats, whenever they are the majority party, kind of act like they are visitors and fear being referred to as ‘partisans.’ The Dems always act as if they are waiting to be thrown out.
As a side note to the Democrats, the Nodes of their party conjunct the USA nodes. At the same time TNeptune was going over the USA South Node with Solar Arc Mars conjunct and those aspects have been sucking the life out of America, and sucking the life out of the Democrats. Fortunately both those planets have finally moved away from the South Node.
There has been an enormous focus on “The Greatest Generation” who saw their country shift and nearly crumble with WWI, the Depression and WWII. We have all heard how this generation rebuilt America; this was the generation that experienced Pluto in Cancer and the conjunction to the US Venus, Jupiter, Sun, Mercury, opposing Pluto. The plumber of the Zodiac, Pluto, exposed the weaknesses of America forcing the people to redo, rebuild, reinvent and ultimately we came to a better place.
Did anyone know or remember that the police and Army beat and killed activitists in this country, on the streets of Chicago and New York in the late 20’s and early 30’s while Pluto was in Cancer? There was a massacre in Chicago of men, women, and children in Chicago, not by Al Capone and the mob but the police, directed by the President of the United States. Most of us are the children and grandchildren of the “greatest generation” and we are being asked to hold the line and not let go of what they built in this country. We now have a group of petty tyrants trying to revive the elitist attitudes that fell on hard times in the 30’s.
While Pluto has opened the door to the sewage hidden over the last 90 or so years, Saturn is moving along and spotlighting where we clean up. The roots of fascism go back to WWI and gathered steam until WWII and were then forced underground. The great Socialists Movement with Karl Marx as its father was in fact a blueprint on how to fight fascism and Western Governments fought it tooth and nail, lashing out blindly at the Unions and Feminism (which was considered socialists in the early 20th Century,) jailing, beating and killing all who would stand against the status quo.
Because of the egomaniacal and dictator personality of Joseph Stalin it was fairly easy to turn the socialist base into the enemy after WWII and socialism never really has been able to make strong inroads into politics since then although there is a Socialist Party in every Western country. In this country the Joseph McCarthy Hearings were able to stamp
Socialism as the evil enemy for several generations of Americans.
It doesn’t matter what religion, political movement, government, we are all controlled by fear. In the US our prisons are heaped up and overflowing, more than any other country and our fear in the US is at an all time high, socialism has been effectively pushed out of mainstream while fascism rose. Now Pluto is on the other side of the Universe trying to balance out the seesaw of political movements. Socialism was violently crushed, it has yet to be determined if fascism will be violently crushed, hope not.
It’s important to note that most political movements are seemingly loaded with dictators, tyrants, despots, autocrats, and enforcers of their agendas. The group we have now is just the 21st Century version and we don’t like it.
Saturn has passed over the US Sun and just passed over GWB’s Sun and on his way to Bush Chiron/Moon and a square to US Saturn. Saturn has a delayed effect and the next four weeks are absolutely crucial. Reagan’s death and long, long funeral shifted the energy away from Bush and effectively gave him a by, but only for the time being, his next wave of serious bad news is on the way, as evidenced by the Reagan family set against Bush on stem-cell research and they wasted no time in going public.

JUNE/JULY
The Summer Solstice makes her appearance on June 20, 2004 at 8:45pm, Washington, DC. The Sun and Mercury conj. in Cancer in the 6th house, with Venus make her lazy way back to 9 degrees Gemini (On US Uranus) Venus is taking her own sweet time and in Gemini she is picking up little tidbits of information which she will drop like pigeon droppings on the heads of state when she turns to cover her shadow and that process will be finished the first of Aug. Look for big pigeon droppings on GWB’s head the week of July 22 when she squares Jupiter, opposes Pluto and conjuncts George’s Uranus/NN, squares the Inaugural Venus, conjuncts that Moon and sextiles Mercury. Venus will happily unload the information she picked up as she back peddled in the sign of informative delicacies. Venus is a gossip as is Mercury, while Venus gathers in Gemini, Mercury in Cancer will ‘inform’ the American people.
Throughout the summer you will find George Bush and the Republicans promising anything. Jobs will rise; Iraq will miraculously become better in August. By October we could have Osama or significant inroads to Bush’s definition of “terrorists.” The Economy will continue to improve; health care and environmental concerns will be back on the table with perhaps some concrete improvements in those areas. Bush will suddenly be the man for the people, leading the party for the people. Will America fall for it? Yes they will unless some very astute journalists are able to come up with the truth by August/September (that’s still the timing for events to conspire against America and Bush. If there isn’t anything to stop this train before October 10 count on another 4 more years.
The good news is I believe there will be something to jar their vision by October 10th.
