"Beware the leader who bangs the drums of war in order to whip the citizenry into a patriotic fervor, for patriotism is indeed a double-edged sword. It both emboldens the blood, just as it narrows the mind. And when the drums of war have reached a fever pitch and the blood boils with hate and the mind has closed, the leader will have no need in seizing the rights of the citizenry. Rather, the citizenry, infused with fear and blinded by patriotism, will offer up all of their rights unto the leader and gladly so. How do I know? For this is what I have done. And I am Caesar." -- Julius Caesar
Did you ever unravel an onion? It becomes smaller and smaller, smellier, and smellier, your nose starts to run and your eyes overflow with tears, finally the whole house reeks of onion. If you go far enough the onion becomes nothing.
We have an onion here folks, and it’s unraveling. The onion is the history of our known world, the US and further back. If each generation of humanity is the synthesis of all generations, all humankind, we haven’t come too far from what we think of as the savagery and barbarous actions of previous generations.
We elected our leaders from the pool of humankind and then elevated them with expectations that they will behave in our best interests, or at least behave in a civilized manner. We have mistaken their private clubs, big houses, Armani Suits and fine brandy for leadership. They had something different than those of us out here toiling for them so they could have their goodies, their trappings of success. We thought them better because they threw us crumbs from the money we made for them. Certainly better than the Cromwell’s, Hitler’s, Medici’s, Machiavelli’s, Henry the VIII, of old. Better than the Marquis de Sade’s, better than the Attila the Hun’s, or Marie Antoinette. Oh yes, we are sure we are better, our leaders wiser, kinder, more generous and honest. WHOOPS!!!! NOT!!!!
The chart of a Nation such as the US is a reflection of the energy of that nation and when it might be affected by positive or negative energies. If there is a Revolution or an invasion, or the nation’s constitution scraped in favor of another, then that becomes the chart of the Nation because the collective intelligence (us) have shifted our national identity in a profound manner.
The final draft of our Constitution was completed on Sept. 17th 1787, it became the law of the land on March 4, 1789, but not enforced until June 21, 1789. I will take the date of March 4, 1789 and the Constitution is under attack, no matter what chart is used because all charts are heavily Mutable Signs and with Pluto in Sagittarius and Uranus in Pisces the Mutable signs are being impacted as they have a few times in the last 200 years and true to a Mutable form, the Constitution has changed to fit the times. Mutable energy is the willow that bends, and that quality is what has helped the US Constitution to survive for over 200 years and has had to “bend” many times.
Pluto was in Aquarius in 1789, Sun, Mercury and Saturn fell into Pisces, Moon in Gemini squaring the Pisces planets but still in Mutable and indicating a flexible nation. Our populist constitution was born just as the people of the French Revolution demanded a populist government. When Pluto by Solar Arc arrived in Pisces conjuncting the Sun/Mercury/Saturn planets, the British made another run to break the back of the newly formed country in the War of 1812 and were again beaten back across the pond and from there the English waited until the 20th Century to began slowly buying up America and now owns a good deal of this country.
In 1949 when The People’s Republic of China was established, some asked Zhou Enlai what he thought the ramifications of the French Revolution of 1789 had been and Zhou replied “it’s too early to tell.” What he was signifying by that remark was an acknowledgement of the on going struggle between the “elite” and the “people.” And that is our war today. In 1789 America and France walked hand in hand in their rebellion between the rich and the poor, and like it or not both countries will be tested in 2005/2006 as to how well the populist experiment faired, so far we aren’t doing so well.
The war between the haves and have nots started a very long time ago but gained momentum in the Rebellion of the Nobles in 1053 when William the Conqueror decided he wanted to be King of the Norman/Saxon lands and he instituted a system of feudalism that strengthened the Monarchy and changed English and subsequently European history. William himself was illegitimate and he was the “father” of the modern day ruling class who continue to rule by feudalism and the people don’t see it. If you read your mortgage contract carefully you will see we don’t even own what we think of as our property and can be confiscated by the government anytime they wish.
Where are we going from here? Solar Arc Pluto has progressed to an opposition to the Saturn and Sun of the Constitutional Chart, that started 4 years ago and has seen it’s worst hit since the 1812 War, and Solar Arc Neptune is in a sextile to the 1789 Pisces Mercury. Next year Solar Arc Neptune will set up a yod with Natal Neptune, while Solar Arc Mercury conjuncts Natal Neptune. Fog, clouds, lies, betrayals, drugs, spaced out, confusion, and more chaos reigns for our constitutional rules and laws and I do think we will add some really stupid amendments over the next two years as transiting Pluto sextiles and squares this whole mess.
I am tired of talking about Neptune because it bewilders me just to discuss it. When you start going into Neptune you will find yourself in a maze of dead ends. Neptune is where the Mad Hatter of a country lives and in this country he is living in the White House.
Neptune is also highly creative if we can pull our minds up to that creativity and if we as a country are ever going to learn to use our energy as a force for good instead of fear, now is the time we have that power and it is essential we not think of ourselves as being victimized by this government, we’ve been betrayed by our government and that we need to address that betrayal over the next several years, but we are not victims unless we wish to see ourselves that way. Pluto opposing the US Mars and squaring US Neptune is showing us how awful our government has been for decades and how we have been in the dark, Pluto is also showing us the awful crimes our government has been guilty of, and still we are paying these people.
I do believe there will be a revolution as we come out of the fog of the betrayal of our “leaders” Democrats and Republicans, I think there is one going on right now but it’s underground, just like this current coup has been underground for the last 40 years. Neptune will give us the chance to create in our own minds the kind of life we want, to face our fears and step beyond them. If you feel powerless because of what is happening in the la la land of the elites, it’s because you have always felt powerless and now is the time to believe in the collective, not in the few and start to see how great and powerful you are. Buy Blue and use Neptune to visualize a positive outcome and new leaders.
We are still operating under the Inaugural Chart of 2001 and Mars in that chart is opposing Mars in the Solar Return of Ohio, eclipsing the energy of this recount. The Mars/Mars axis falls across Scorpio and Taurus, stubborn to the end. Ohio’s Solar Return Mercury conjuncts their natal Pluto in Pisces, another eclipse, but trying to gain power, the truth wants to be told, however transiting Pluto will oppose Ohio’s natal and Solar Return Moon by January 18th making it the end of the matter for the people and a huge loss of stature and respect for Ohio as well as some kind of real shake up in that state as Uranus conjuncts their NN and Pluto over Dec. and Jan. Uranus will also conjunct their Sun in the 10th in the Spring, the reality of the corruption in their leadership is going to hit them hard as will their financial woes.
There is one outside hope for Ohio’s votes and that is by December 9th an aspect in the Inaugural chart that places a Minor Progression Sun conjunct the Ohio Solar Return Mars and together they could shut out this administration but it’s a small hope. At the very least that Sun will square Inaugural Mercury and oppose the Mars, I’m looking for some kind of fireworks in Ohio or Washington.
Minor Progressions are most often used for the timing of events and until January 20th when a new fun-filled four years takes over, there is a possibility of several shocking revelations, not that 51 percent care but we will mark them. Saturn over the US Sun and square Saturn has been giving this country a huge dose of reality in the last 2 years and it doesn’t seem to register, I don’t expect other scandals and outrageous acts to stir that 51 percent now, not as long as they feel fat and happy, the pinch hasn’t been enough to outweigh their fears.
Right now, the silence of the Democrat leadership is deafening and should be of more concern than the loud drum the right is beating. Not just the silence of Kerry/Edwards, but the entire leadership, such as Clinton, General Clark, Howard Dean, and most of all Al Franken and Michael Moore, everyone who was really close to this election just dried up and when you do see them, in spite of the recount and the strange involvement of candidates from the Green and Independent Party, they say “we lost.” There are people talking about it and investigating or trying to investigate but again that Neptune cloud is covering all tracks. Still, if you can, support the re-count it is vitally important even if you think it’s hopeless, it is essential to stand up for the re-count. The thin voice of the people need to be heard, just our intent needs to be heard if by no one else but the Universe and the rest of the world. Mercury is retrograde, and it goes back over the Nov. 2nd Pluto and when it went retrograde today the Moon was in the exact same spot as Nov. 2nd (Cancer) This re-count is significant and we don’t have to know why, it does not have to have the outcome we hope, for it to be important for our future. So, in what every way you can, support the re-count.
