Astroworld

I don't know if Kerry and Edwards jumped off our hope of a Christmas Train, but right now I like to think that like the new Tom Hanks movie "The Polar Express," all is not what it seems.

Neptune is still inconjunct the US and Bush Sun, still creating a fog of confusion for us all, and Ohio is a Pisces state, more Neptune. The now direct Uranus conjuncts their North Node. If nothing else comes of this Ohio recount, we need to send a strong message as voters that it is vital in a democracy that our votes count. One or two precincts that are off are one thing but a quarter of the state is quite another, not only Ohio but other states as well. We are tired of all this that's for sure and perhaps afraid of our hopes being dashed again but this is our country and we have to get up as citizens and do what we can to participate in a democracy.

I don't care if the Democratic leadership is walking around with their thumbs in their mouth, babbling incoherently as the Republicans dressed in leather and chains, crack the whip over them. We out number them, unfortunately we seemingly forgot the country belongs to us and we handed it over to people like Tom Delay, George Bush, Kerry, Edwards, Cheney and good grief Zell Miller.

The "blues" might believe their government are liars and cheaters, all scamming us, and not caring if we are betrayed. The "reds" ( you know, considering that just a few decades ago the catch phrase was "better dead than red" I think I would demand another color) might be afraid their guy didn't really win and they would lose in a recount. And I say without a recount and a demand by the blues and reds for honesty and truth in government we will all lose something far more valuable than this election. We will lose our status as a democracy, in fact the "democracy" we are so anxious to force on the rest of the world is hanging by a very thin thread now.

If nothing else a recount gives a little of our power back to us, we can take pride in doing something, without expectations, for the republic we say we so value.

In looking at the US chart it is clear that it won't be a President, any President or the Tri-lateral Commission (who have been running the show for literally centuries) that will bring this country to dust, it will be "the people." The people who are hopeless, tired, apathetic, afraid, angry. There are antidotes for these conditions.

Find something to hope for in your own lives.
Get some rest and refresh yourselves by doing something new
Use your fear and anger in a focused way through meditation, getting involved, writing letters, sending small donations to the groups who so badly need it, support local politicians, you get the idea.
Do all the above and the apathy will disappear.

The economy is going to go south, it has before and we are set up for it to do so again, the weakening is taking place now as you see the dollar falling. Chiron is sitting on the US Pluto, Saturn has retrograded back away from it all, the late spring is another period of economic repression, the housing market maybe. I don't see the second half of 2005 into 2006 coming close to the prosperity of the 90's, America will not see that for a very long time. If we as a people think we are not as strong as the generation which saw WWI, a discimating plague (and that was before drugs or antibiotics) a Depression and WWII, you are wrong. We are as strong and finding our collective strength requires digging down really deep.

We have a New Moon in Scorpio and the Ascendant happens to be on John Kerry's Saturn. I don't know Kerry's birthtime anymore. There have been three given. One by his mother who said it was right before Sunrise. Sunrise in 1943 on the day he was born was at 8:15 am (NASA) while that may seem late it was War Time and I can guarantee you that the Military followed "War-Time. However some astrologers rushed to say it was at 7:10 and others said it was at 8:03 because that's the time Kerry told his sister-in-law, however a few weeks ago he gave his birthtime to a Vedic Astrologer (through Elizabeth Edwards) and said it was between 12 and 1 AM. So we don't have a birthtime for Kerry which would account for predictions of his pesidency to have been all over the board with some having a lucky guess but we did not arrive at our decisions through any accurate mathematical astrological computations.

An interesting sidebar, John Edwards gave his birthtime to the same astrologer, again through his wife as 7:23 am, not 7:02am. So you astrologers out there might want to change Edwards birthtime, giving him a 16 Cancer Asc. and 1 degree Aries Mid-heaven.

The fun show is not the New Moon, but Mars moving toward a square to Mr. Bush's Ascendent and Mercury, and in this corner it will square Mr. Kerry's North Node and Pluto. That all happens on the 22 of November, sit back, rest and watch to see if they hate each other, if Mr. Kerry's Pluto will trump GWB's Asc. or if they are really great buds and come out against any more recounts.
If the two of them seem to be buddy/buddy then we want to spend the next four years shoring up our own security, ignoring the little game they have going on, and look for a new party.

In the meantime, Google the Green Party website, they held their convention this year at 6/26/04, 3:30pm, Milwaukee, Wisconsin, if you can send them at least a dollar, for whatever reasons they are trying to hold on to democracy for us. Venus in their Convention Chart was still in her June transit precession and was stationary direct at 9 degrees Gemini, just two days before she turned direct.

Here is where we might catch the "Polar Express." 9 degrees Gemini is where the Venus transit turned direct to begin her 8 year transit, it's also where John Kerry's Mars and progressed Mars, it is also where the 2005 Inauguration Moon will be on January 20th at 12 Noon. Will there be a miracle? I am not predicting that, but I am suggesting whether we see it or not, the Green Party's action in Ohio has set up a miracle for democracy, win or lose the Green Party won and may have the President in 2008 or 2012. I encourage you to step up to them because they have stepped up for the United States of America.

It's 2 AM, if I have made mistakes please post them and I will correct tomorrow, if not I will edit this in the "later" morning. More later this evening or tomorrow on how we are going to avoid Civil War with each other.

By the way if there are any Catholics out there who are frustrated with their Church and the political stand they took this year, call your parish, I know several churches who have formed activist discussion groups on what "true Christian values" are, and they don't believe in theocracies. They are forming as a body to express their views on the Church's rush to politics and telling them how to vote.
