"Eclipses in a fixed sign manifest suddenly, violently and appear to have a correlation with physical upheaval." Recent studies in both the U.S. and Japan indicate that powerful high tides can be correlated to more frequent and larger earthquakes. "Strong Earth tides can trigger earthquakes, scientists report"
The duration of an eclipses influence seems to correspond to the number of hours and minutes an eclipse lasts. A solar eclipse equates to years, and lunar eclipse equates to months. The eclipse path falls across Western North America slicing through Texas, and covering Eastern Europe, Africa and the Middle East. For a graphical view of the eclipse path and the eclipse progression check out Planetary Systems Branch - Code 693 at NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center, Greenbelt . The moons appearance may be dramatically colored blood red, orange, brown, and even very dark grey like the bones of a skeleton the dark specter in the night.
Eclipse Chart
The Taurus Moon in the Eclipse chart speaks of the collective need for security, particularly with regard to trust of the President, big Daddy with the Moon in the 10th House. The lunar aspects in this chart show the Moon, the People, in a sesquiquadrate 0.4 degrees with Pluto. This aspect indicates a strong desire for security, an urge to break through limitations we have had imposed or experienced upon us as controlling, fascist behavior on the part of our government. This energy challenges the collective to transform the politics of fear and terror by the Bush regime, to survival and recovery based on the better insight and mental stability of John Kerry and John Edwards.
Pluto sits upon the 5th House cusp, the House of the military, armies and is poised to initiate more violence and destruction. In a recent article by Wayne Madsen who is a Washington, DC-based investigative journalist and columnist. Who has served in the National Security Council (NSA) during the Reagan Administration and wrote the introduction to Forbidden Truth. He is the co-author, with John Stanton of "America's Nightmare: The Presidency of George Bush II." His forthcoming book is titled: "Jaded Tasks: Big Oil, Black Ops, and Brass Plates.", he says in his article "A Bush pre-election strike on Iran 'imminent' White House insider report "October Surprise" imminent, "According to White House and Washington Beltway insiders, the Bush administration, worried that it could lose the presidential election to Senator John F. Kerry, has initiated plans to launch a military strike on Iran's top Islamic leadership, its nuclear reactor at Bushehr on the Persian Gulf, and key nuclear targets throughout the country, including the main underground research site at Natanz in central Iran and another in Isfahan. Targets of the planned U.S. attack reportedly include mosques in Tehran, Qom, and Isfahan known by the U.S. to headquarter Iran's top mullahs.
The Iran attack plan was reportedly drawn up after internal polling indicated that if the Bush administration launched a so-called anti-terrorist attack on Iran some two weeks before the election, Bush would be assured of a landslide win against Kerry. Reports of a pre-emptive strike on Iran come amid concerns by a number of political observers that the Bush administration would concoct an "October Surprise" to influence the outcome of the presidential election."
More malefic harmony is embodied in the Uranus quintile with Pluto, a generational aspect tuning into the collective energy with regard to the transformation of society. Creation of a new world order based on humanitarian ideals of universal brotherhood. This same energy can also play out negatively with the Neocon Fascists in the Bush Regime pushing forward their destruction of the Middle East in desperation to initiate further chaos in Iran and Syria so the "Terraists" won't come to America and hurt us with a nuclear device in one of our big cities. Uh huh, right like they can't get on a plane, boat or train to get here. Hello? Are they all mad? The military and the spooks aren't happy with these guys, with Pluto on the 6th House cusp and Uranus in play the Big Brass may decide Bush is nuts considering they don't have any more troops to throw away in a sand box for Bush's mis-adventure. I certainly hope they call a spade a spade.
Another highly volatile aspect finds Mars in a tight square with Chiron, with Mars sextiling Pluto, a terrible trio. Mars square Chiron reveals suppressed rage and anger in the collective. This is often given manifestation as an act that incites anger in others thus claiming their hands are clean. There will also be an exerting of the collective will versus knuckling under to authority. Can we say bye bye Bush bye bye?
Uranus trines the Eclipse Sun and lunar south node in the 4th House of the Common People (that's the 98% of us that didn't get a windfall gift from Bush's tax cuts). Ah but there is more, here we also find Chiron conjunct the Descendent opposing the Eclipse chart Ascendent. Rather like radical surgery being undertaken on the psyche of the Nation. Pluto and Chiron play together here in a semi-sextile, energies that attract one another. This energy is compulsive, plunging into depths of despair and soaring to heights of manic madness as a form of compensatory reaction. A positive manifestation of this energy will find the collective will have keen knowledge, insight, and great power to transform events.
What a roiling culmination to the U.S. election season with voting already underway before the polls officially open. Look at what the eclipse chart has loosed, the People are rockin' for the next month. Volunteerism is at an all time high, voter registration reaching new heights. The unknown unpolled indigo generation what will be their impact?
California is just getting a foretaste as El Nino kicks into first gear, volcanic activity at Mt. St. Helen's was loosely linked to the earthquakes along the San Andreas. Take a look where the eclipse path falls it is there where we will see the eclipse manifestations, earthquakes, volcanos, voter fraud, voting irregularities, dirty handed varmits busted.

The U.S. Chart and the Eclipse
This is a powerful eclipse coming at a critical time in the history of our country and a precursor to Election Night 2004 on November 2nd. The People are strongly tied together with the Eclipse Moon and the U.S. Moon being in contra-parallel (within 0.8 degrees) with U.S. n. Moon. The People fighting to unseat Bush have an instant emotional rapport with one another. People comfortable working together, with a sense of the commitment to mutual goals in sending Bush back to Crawford for good. There's a feel, a psychic bond, as though connected from sharing some ancient, and perhaps unconscious, past experiences together (like the Revolutionary War, the Civil War, and the Vietnam War).. The feeling is of desiring to help and supply, and to care for each other to change the course our Nation has been taken down. The chart.
The Eclipse chart Full Moon makes a strong sextile with the US n. Jupiter expanding its lunar energies (the People) by way of Jupiter's positive influence, indicates increased enjoyment, beneficial mutual cooperation, and expansion of goals and plans. This aspects lends itself to giving positive energy to the last ditch efforts of the political activists.
Pluto which plays a big part in the Eclipse chart also impacts the U.S. n. Moon in a parallel aspect. Pluto provides the catalytic energy for change to the Moon, the People. There will be a sense of coming together for karmic purposes, of healing as the U.S plunges forward in it's quest to reshape itself. Transformation under these circumstances will be emotionally intense and those of us 'Bushfatigued' soldier on to defeat this petty tyrant.
Warning, warning, t. Pluto still making that powerful opposition to the U.S. n. Mars, and add to that the Eclipse chart Mars is trine the U.S. n. Mars. The Eclipse Mars falls in the U.S 10th House adding impetus to the angry man at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue, who finds himself stymied by a bunch of fodder units. The impotency of infantile anger.
Tough days ahead, rough water, rockin earth and we are in this together while the whole world watches how we the people handle the failure of the Bush Regime and whether our electoral system is irrevocably broken. White light, blue States, a landslide for Kerry that will be my wish on Samhain night.
