The Dark Ages Redux

US New Moon Transits
July 6, 2005 8:02 AM EDT
Washington, DC

So much happening everywhere from Gaia stirring, winds howling, the Sun frying, the waters rising, puts us in mind of the bards of our time Bob Dylan's "Times They Are A-Changin" and CCR's "Bad Moon Rising".

The news just keeps getting worse, that constant drip, drip, drip of American blood, Iraqi blood, Afghani blood, Palestinian blood, Israeli blood, African blood, the blood of the People.

To add more to the American image look what Rummy's up to ~

Mike Whitney: 'The Rumsfeld Solution: Liberating Iraq, one journalist at a time'

"The International Federation of Journalists (IFJ) is calling on the United States to investigate 3 new cases of journalists killed in Iraq in the last week...This brings to 17 the number of journalists and media staff killed by US soldiers."
-- Iraq Press

Last week, Yasser Salihee, a reporter for Knight Ridder news agency, was assassinated in a perfectly executed gangland-style hit a few miles outside of Baghdad. He was struck by a single bullet to the head by an American sniper. Salihee's murder resulted from his extensive coverage of the torture and murder of "suspected insurgents" by US-backed death-squads.

I've read that there are more Gitmo like pictures to be released including the sound effects of torture and rape accompanied by the voices of the victims, the screams of the children which were being held in the American prisons in downtown Baghdad and on the bases of their Liberators. I have read the pictures were taken to sate the appetites of the rich and sexually depraved. These are Christians ? This is what a Republican is all about ? We're these innocents used to make their parents talk?


Across the world accounts of famine and starvation, flooding and ruin. In America uncontrolled crime, and the slow destruction of the American people. Our jobs, livelihoods, our way of life. Whoa Nellie let's not mention the loss of freedom of religion, freedom of the press (corporate takeover get it...doh!) Global warming has arrived and each of us is losing our money, our security, our health, our properties either through taxes, earthquake, tsunami, or because some developer wants to build a strip mall where you live...oops too bad so sad. We have lost our national sanity and our moral compass is spinning as if trapped in the Burmuda Triangle.


Wild energies are losed with this new moon, new beginnings, new projects set in motion and Monkey-boy is driving. Tip'o the iceberg finds our inept Monkey-boy attending the G8 and representing American interests. Whose interests really? Oh brother how embarassing. Doh, we need more research. Oh it'll wreck the US economy (and global warming won't ?).


Latest news flash from CNN tells of tens of thousands of protestors converging both in Denmark where Monkey-boy landed as I write this and in Scotland where the Poodle is serving up faire fit for his royal heinie our cousins are dishing up their own greeting.


The new moon finds itself falling in the US 7th House, "representing" international relations with other countries: treaties and alliances, wars, truces, the UN and her members, and designated "enemies" are associated with the 7th House. This is also the house of "projection." What does a nation project upon its enemies? Often times, as in natal astrology, what a nation projects is its disowned neurosis or psychosis." From Claudia Dikinis's Mundane Astrology and Astrological Law.


Monkey-boy's traisping around Europe spreading his version of American goodwill which promises to be the image of ruin and destruction. See transiting Pluto in Sagittarius having sown the seeds of destruction and transformation in the US 1st House is continuing to form an opposition to the natal US Mars in Gemeni in the 7th. This energy is reflected in Monkey-boy'z policies and his approach to the rest of the world community. He's spreading Pluto everywhere he goes.


Now let's add some Uranian wrenchs to the works. Transiting Uranus Rx falls in the US 3rd House and it is forming a strong square with the US natal Uranus in 6th House (armies, military action) or in our case some unexpected suprises of the nasty nature involving our military folk. What will the press reveal, or more so what else is badly out of whack for our troops?


Transiting Mars finds its energy affecting the US 4th House, the House of the People, and conjunct the transiting N. Lunar node causing Americans to take a deeper look at the three ring circus Ring Master Rove has produced to distract the eye. Mars is likely to stir the ire of the masses as we find all the little niggling problems of this mis-administration coming to a boil. Things like the Plame affair, Delay's shananigans, Social Security, Mad Cow, Iraq, Afghanistan, Iran, N. Korea, China and the slow dawning on Mr. and Mrs. Republican that they've been sold a mislabeled product. The military finding itself short changed, unarmored, under manned, benefit cuts, insufficient medical care (this fodder unit is inoperative) all for a war based on a pack of lies. Boy howdy how long is the Pentagon Brass gona take the guff off these citizen war mongers ?


Whoa unto the CIA and FBI the Death Squad creator has taken over the reins of their organizations, welcome to Negroponte's world of horror.


Finally with transiting Mercury and Venus conjuncting in the US 8th House we will hear all about the deaths, destruction and the greed which drives the carnage we are wreaking upon the rest of the world.


What can be done ? There is a vehicle out there to help effect change. It's driven by Howard Dean and his brother Jim Dean. It is www.democracyforamerica.com for it's in our own backyards that change is going to be effected and an end to our national nightmare can be made reality.

Below are the words from Bob Dylan's, "The Times They Are A-Changin" written in 1964, they are are true today as they were then.

Come gather 'round people
Wherever you roam
And admit that the waters
Around you have grown
And accept it that soon
You'll be drenched to the bone.
If your time to you
Is worth savin'
Then you better start swimmin'
Or you'll sink like a stone
For the times they are a-changin'.


Come writers and critics
Who prophesize with your pen
And keep your eyes wide
The chance won't come again
And don't speak too soon
For the wheel's still in spin
And there's no tellin' who
That it's namin'.
For the loser now
Will be later to win
For the times they are a-changin'.


Come senators, congressmen
Please heed the call
Don't stand in the doorway
Don't block up the hall
For he that gets hurt
Will be he who has stalled
There's a battle outside
And it is ragin'.
It'll soon shake your windows
And rattle your walls
For the times they are a-changin'.


Come mothers and fathers
Throughout the land
And don't criticize
What you can't understand
Your sons and your daughters
Are beyond your command
Your old road is
Rapidly agin'.
Please get out of the new one
If you can't lend your hand
For the times they are a-changin'.


The line it is drawn
The curse it is cast
The slow one now
Will later be fast
As the present now
Will later be past
The order is
Rapidly fadin'.
And the first one now
Will later be last
For the times they are a-changin'.
