Astroworld

The “the shot heard round the world” that started the whole thing on April 19th 1775 around 5:00am in Lexington, Massachusetts, and the Moon was at 12 degrees Sagittarius, the same degree Pluto rested on Sept. 11, 2001. Makes me wonder if that was another “shot” signaling Revolution against our own would be “King George of America.”

There is so much to address over the next few months, there will be dirty tricks by the Republicans (always good for an article,) Kerry/Edwards, Bush/Cheney, economy, Iraq, 9/11 will be heavily on the table. In fact when the 9/11 progressed Mars in Capricorn conjuncts exactly the 9/11 South Node in October, terrorism is going to weigh heavily on our minds and over our country. The North Node on 9/11 rested exact, to the minute, on the US Venus (ruling the US Midheaven and 6th house of the Military) Venus isn’t always nice, and the Democrats Convention begins with Venus close to the US Mars, opposing T Pluto, sextiling Mars in Leo and setting up a yod with Chiron and Saturn hovering at the Reaction Point in Cancer, inconjunct Pluto. Democrats/liberals have the opportunity to put their fears of GWB behind them or those fears will dog them throughout this campaign. They must define themselves (not let Karl Rove do it)

believe in what they stand for, and spread out with their vision for a better tomorrow. The Democrats have to learn how to give their message with a one two punch.

If they cannot do this the nation remains divided for the next 4 years no matter who wins. If it’s Kerry, the Bush cartel will mount an unrelenting war against him and try for the presidency again in 2008. No matter who wins, the Revolution has already begun.

The most important Astrological data will be when Kerry and Bush accept their nominations. The day and exact time is what we want to watch. I do not have the exact time but Kerry will be accepting while the Moon is going into its waxing phase (full moon phase) In Hindu Astrology, that’s the most auspicious period of time of the month. This full Moon will sextile and trine Kerry and Edwards Gemini planets. Edwards particularly will be energized by this Moon as it aspects his Moon and Jupiter conjunction and they rule his Ascendant and Mid-Heaven respectively.

Since 2000 we have analyzed, compared, and taken GWB apart bit by bit. His personality has revealed itself to be more and more paranoid and his administration reflects that secretive paranoia. We’ve witness and remarked on his disassembling to the reality of situations. Friends and foes alike have attempted to give him an identity. The Republicans started comparing him to Wm. McKinley, then Teddy Roosevelt, FDR, JFK, Woodrow Wilson, even Churchill. His enemies have psychoanalyzed him by comparison with Hitler, a variety of mythological figures, Saddam, even Osama, nothing; absolutely nothing sticks as a solid person. He does however have speechwriters able to utilize phrases and sound bites the collective “tube” watching American recognizes.

One cannot psychologically identify GWB in a vacuum without psychologically identifying the mind of the collective whole in America. I don’t mean the Red or Blue States; I mean who are we beyond a flag waving, pie-eating, movie-going, gun-loving group? We are a confused, flip-flopping, duplicitous, loud, a bully, know-it-alls, rigid, and sometimes phony nation. We are also generous, loving, accepting, flexible, all colors, religions and creeds of the world stirring around like a New Orleans Gumbo. We are complementary and conflicting, we are Americans and we are at war with our values, beliefs, and ethics, divided straight down the middle as we examine the filters developed for us depending on our life experiences. In short, we believe what we believe because of our families, cultures, place where we grew up, plus a whole raft of data ingested over our lifetime.

Nothing shows our confusion and hypocrisy more than Mars in Gemini squaring Neptune in Virgo and now we have Pluto in a stressful aspect to both of those planets. Gemini is the sign of genius and the sign of insanity. Gemini believes what it says while saying it and can just as easily turn around and say and do something else and believe that, ergo the reputation of being flip-floppers, but they think fast on their feet. Mercury rules Gemini and Virgo, both signs can act as the “messenger,” bringing good and bad news alike. The Mutable signs (Gemini, Virgo, Sagittarius, and Pisces) are known for slipping and sliding to success for they are adaptable to all changing situations. Look at 9/11 with Pluto in Sagittarius and Saturn in Gemini on the US Asc/Desc. We just woke up one morning and our whole world in America changed and we still aren’t sure how or why and with Uranus in Pisces, this country is going to be “flip-flopping” for quite awhile. Those of us who are looking for stability in America are going to have some problems and frankly we need a leader who can “flip-flop” with the changing times, we don’t need someone who come hell or high water “stays the course,” because the “course” is going to keep changing.

Whether we like or don’t like a particularly leader our world is going to change forever with or without terrorists. The economic changes are already in motion, scientists tell us that earth changes are already in motion (it’s only a matter of time) our education system, mainstream religions, legal system, political system, every aspect of our lives the change is in motion and it’s up to each individual whether they will be a positive part of the change or not, but a vigilant watch on our leaders is paramount. The worst thing we could possibly do is to elect leaders who 1) are afraid of change and 2) have only their interests at heart. We have a tough but exciting and powerful 8 years ahead and looking at the spotlight on the mutable aspects in our collective, we are up to the challenge and the world is watching us.

With Venus in the election chart (11.2.2004 6:00am Washington, DC) exactly on John Kerry’s Mid-Heaven, the Mid-Heaven itself coming to a conjunction to his North Node and T Jupiter falling in his 10th House, the Kerry/Edwards ticket has a good chance and if anything happens that pulls Kerry out of the race, Edwards will continue to run and still with a good chance of winning.

The odd thing is not what I see in the aspects, but what I don’t see. I don’t see serious disappointment in Kerry or Edwards charts on Election Day and I do see some potential disappointment in GWB’s chart with his second Saturn return breathing down his neck and squaring his Mid-Heaven, Pluto exactly on his South Node (loss) and T Mars opposing his own Mid-Heaven.

It will be an ugly campaign summer, you can almost hear the boyz on the schoolyards yelling “FIGHT FIGHT” as the candidates try to move the earth under our feet, and my hope is that it will JUST be the candidates and not the actual earth.

In Greek mythology, the relationship between people and the gods were friendly, but the gods delivered severe punishment to mortals who showed unacceptable behavior, such as indulgent pride, extreme ambition, or even excessive prosperity. In that case Mount Olympus thundered and the people shook wondering of their fate. This summer the gods seem to have called a representation of every nation to Mount Olympus for games. It will be interesting to see how well the athletes from mighty nations perform and if the gods (as amusement) brought them together to either boo the mighty of the mighty to learn how to get along.

DEMOCRAT CONVENTION GAVEL TO GAVEL
Sagittarius on the Ascendant and Kerry’s Sun in the 1st House. Virgo on the Mid-Heaven with Jupiter conjunct. Moon in the 12th, people will still be confused about what they stand for at the end of the convention. Pluto at 19 degrees Sagittarius, close to Kerry Sun (power) and opposing Edwards Sun (power or a loss of power) Venus in the 7th opposing Pluto, sextile Mars, inconjunct Chiron. Wow, the Democrats need to understand what and whom they stand for FAST. Neptune is in the 3rd in Aquarius just splashing around alone, and Uranus is also sleeping in the 3rd House in this chart. Mercury is making it’s way toward an opposition to Uranus, since Uranus is sextiling the North Node of this chart, I am going to say that the Mercury opposition indicates the potential for the opposing party to throw out a scandal and it backfires on them. Except for a square to the North Node, the Sun, the leader of the chart isn’t doing anything. Sun in Leo the King has all his minions flying around selling him, cause he isn’t doing it himself. With the ruler of the 11th (Venus) in the 7th House, his friends are power brokering him. Lucky guy.

The Sabian Symbol for 4 degrees Leo is “A formally dressed elderly man standing near trophies he brought back from a hunting expedition.” The implication is someone who needs to prove himself to others and to himself.
Also with Jupiter running through Bill Clinton’s Libra, including a Jupiter return for him, he will have a lot to do with moving this election toward John Kerry. After all Clinton is the Leo at this convention he will give a stellar performance and help people remember why they voted for the Democrats three times before Bush stole the 2000 election.

Let the games begin the Gods of Mount Olympus are watching and Happy 4th of July 2004 style.
