Full Blue Moon July 31, 2004

8 Aquarius 51
What a boon for John Kerry and John Edwards as they set forth to paint the Nation Blue. Unbeknownst to them, the energies in play can be worked in their favor. We won't be seeing another opportunity like this until June 30th 2007.
From Dane Rudhyar's work, "An Astrological Mandala", the Sabian symbol for 9 Aquarius is, "A flag is turned into an eagle. Keynote: The dynamic incorporation of new social values in individuals who exemplify the spiritual potential and greatest signficance of these values. "
"All that is implied here is the vitalization of a powerful symbol, its embodiment in a living reality, i.e. in a person able to fly in consciousness to the highest spiritual realm. The archetype is given living substance and wings. The Image has become a Power."
"This fourth stage symbol as usual gives us a technical suggestion. To 'see' the new archetype, to perceive the new standard of value with one's mind is not enough. The seer must become the doer. The impersonal is dynamized and brought into focus. We have here the ACTING OUT of the vision."
The Moon in the U. S. chart falls in the 2nd House of our assets. It is forming a cozy relationship with T. Neptune creating a conjunction. The Neptunian energies provide impetus to visualize change, to bring forth new ideas, and to generate an idealism within the People. T. Mars forms an intense opposition to the U.S. n. Moon providing a boatload of Leo Fire energies inspiring and energizing the People, as Jim Morrison would intone "Come on Baby, Light my Fire".
People beware as well that those well oiled spin machines are cranking at maximum power to confound, confuse, befuddle, and terrify the citizens to manipulate their Vote in November. Do not fall into the fantasy laced rhetoric eschewing forth from honeyed lips of the bellicose T. Sun in Leo which is in Parallel with the U.S n. Mercury. The Faux News networks are in cahoots with the slimey snake oil salesman and will take advantage of the inconjunct trigger from the T. Neptune to the U.S. n. Sun. Spin, spin and more spin. Hearing GWB speak is hearing revisionist history in action.
The Moon forms two powerful Air trines. First with the U.S n. Saturn in the 10th House, the pResidents house, the other with the U.S. n. Uranus in the 6th House of the military, it's armies and their occupation in foreign lands. Will the People demand an accounting of the pResident for his actions? What shocks will be unleashed with Uranus being activated in the 6th House? What more atrocities will we hear about over which the Bush Administration has lost control over?
Constantly at play in this period of our astrological history is the ever present T. Pluto opposing the U.S n. Mars. The image of America is in the process of transformation. The image reflected in this lunar landscape is of the face of it's leader with the T. Sun 8 Leo, in trine with the U.S n. Ascendent.
Further emphasizing the theme of change the moons lunar energies are in parallel with the U.S n. Pluto in the 2nd House. One can hypothesize that the latest Orange Alert issued because of terrorist chatter against the Financial Institutions in New York and New Jersey may manifest. It might also be another political distraction employed by Bush and Co. to foist fear and financial burden onto these Blue States since he's taking a dump in the pre-election polls.
The Quintile aspect provides a higher vibration of spiritual energy between the Moon and the U.S. n. Chiron. This evokes feelings of healing the rift and the divisions that have rendered our Nation fragmented by a devisive leader. Friendships, families all are polarized over Iraq, Abu Ghraib, Guantanamo, and the wholesale slaughter of Iraqi citizens by US forces ordered by this Commander in Chief. Further fueling enmity between the Peoples are the loss of jobs to offshoring by fat cat corporations, the top 2% of the People are getting all the bennies while all of us working stiffs foot the bills, and millions suffer due lack of health care. The decimation of the police and fire departments because of local state, county and city budgetary constraints. Those same States, Counties and Cities facing huge budget shortfalls because the economy has NOT recovered, good jobs that actually pay a mortagage and put food on the table are hard to come by in the good ole U. S. of A.
Your opportunity is to use the power of visualization to change the resident of 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue on November 2, 2004. Your opportunity is to speak out, speak loudly and put your money where your mouth is. Do you want another four years of fear? Four more years of innocents dieing for what? Oil in the sand? Four more years of a failed president? Yes, we want results.
The current pResident has a failed track record. In essense it looks a lot like Ken Lay. Hmm...birds of a feather.
Speaking of birds of a feather...'Mama T', Teresa Heinz Kerry's moon conjunctions the U.S. moon. This gives her an instant rapport with the People, sharing their goals, feeling their anxiety, sensing their needs. This aspect in a First Lady indicates a pastlife connection to the Nation and to the Office of the President where her n. Sun falls in the U.S. 10th House. Her Midheaven (MC) in opposition to the U.S. n. Sun shows a shared purpose, goals and objectives in complete harmony.
Mama T's Midheaven has a weak opposition to the U.S. Mercury which gives her an excellent basis for communication all with the emphasis of public service. These also leave her open to really negative press from her opponents. Venus is squaring the U. S. Moon bringing with them an empathic energy softening the harsh rhetoric the world has endured during the Bush Administrations march of imperialism. Mama T brings an energy of refinement, culture, ala Jackie Kennedy and like the former First Lady she has known great sorrow.
With her Sun conjuct the U.S. Saturn we find yet another pastlife connection indicating a permanence, a stability, a solidarity with the Nation. This is a very challenging aspect on a personal level. She will be subject to criticism and attacked from the Republican right wing. We saw them take out after Bill and Hillary, more of the same to come.
Teresa's Jupiter influence to the U.S. Moon indicates increased co-operation and expansion of goals in harmony with the desires and needs of the People. She brings an optimism, a natural expectation of the ideal image that we hold for our America with it's beacon of freedom shining for everyone. She will bring a sense of nuturing and care for the citizens of this Nation. She has already done much for the good people of Pennsylvania through the foundations she controls. She is a tree that bears good fruit. There is a natural goodness within her and she has not done her works for personal gain.
Teresa's moon also forms a semi-sextile with the U.S. Pluto. This aspect reflects a past-life influence, a coming together to do some serious healing. Now Mama T wields a Pluto aspects of quite some energy being Parallel to the U.S. Sun, the U.S. Venus, the U.S. Mars, and U.S. Jupiter. This woman can have an incredible impact upon our Nation, a balm to the heal the gaping wounds left on on the National psyche from 9/11 and the blood bath unleashed by George Bush upon the ME world. Her Chiron also conjuncts the U.S. Sun, once again bringing healing and cleansing to the Nation's spirit. Her Sun trines the U.S. Uranus, as does her Mercury trine the U.S. Uranus. Her words will likely be a catalyst in many ways. She can unite the Women of America and with Teresa Heinz Kerry as a role model for young women, the American Women will be the best they can be.
Happy Lammas everyone!
