Now let's just amplify this pattern with Jupiter in opposition to said N. Lunar Node. But wait, that's not all tied to that node. Venus at 15 Virgo in the 6th (home of the military and the brave) has a tight inconjunction (trigger finger) and forms the other arm of the Yod, Finger of God with our illusionary oil demon Neptune at 16 Aquarius in the 11th House, filthy lil' buggers are rampant in the House and the Senate.

Heh heh heh, more still. Uranus at 9 Pisces just within the 12th House is the focal point of three more inconjunctions involving our new Moon and Jupiter. Trigger happy chart. Take a look ( chart ) .

Whoa Nellie, that new Moon and Mercury rx are forming an opposition to Neptune, and the oily bugger then goes on to sextile, my, my that North Lunar Node, the Dragon's Head.

What's with the Lunar North Node? The North Node, the Dragon's Head (caput draconis) represents the constellation Draco. The North Node is a point of opportunity for growth, while the South Node is karma, its' Dragon's Tail expresses Saturn's restrictiveness. Whereas the North reflects the benefic properties of Jupiter. This is the realm of evolutionary development collectively and karma collectively. The analogy of reaping and sowing can be applied here. Another way to wrap your mind around the energy is the N. Node represents a spiritual target, the collectives mission is to accomplish it (get it right) this time around in societies evolution. The South, the Dragon's Tail, is an accumulation of experiences from times past, a rutted path where we make the same choices we are comfortable in and refusing the evolution through new experiences and challenges. We can also look at the South Node as a place where you take the easy way out, and the North where you take experiences in.

Many of you remember playing the String Game by yourself or with a friend. We would create a myriad of intricate designs using our fingers and a simple piece of string. That's what these chart patterns remind me of, the interlacing of various strings of energy and in a sense the manipulation thereof.

The North Lunar Node indicates an opportunity for growth. Now how that opportunity manifests in the coming days is up to ones imagination, (ya'll keep track of your dreams), pick a disaster, natural, supernatural, geo-political. The future is rife with opportunities for destruction and rebirth on many levels. We, the collective, the People must seize that opportunity to grow and evolve as a People despite the fog of Neptune or the horror of Pluto's cleansing.

There are some very strong benefic resonances with the Jupiter placement but I've seen destructive results from Jupiter Venus interaction. Often these two benefic's are involved in the dance of life the cycle of death and rebirth. This is the Lammas Season, the Feast of the Harvest, the sacrificial King of Celtic lore.

In the waning hours of the dark Moon, George Bush said in the whiney nasal voice as he added: "We will stay the course, we will complete the job in Iraq." Quick grab a barf bag. Well that got enough of my attention to find out what he was whining about. Since boy wonder is in Crawford on vacation someone must have loosed a stink bomb. Ah here it is,

Bush dismisses Qaeda tape, condemns Zawahri

He added: "We will stay the course, we will complete the job in Iraq."

That was Bush's response to the latest Scare America video from al-Zawahri . Gee do you think if we got out of their countries, stopped trying to steal their oil through hook or crook, stopped killing and torturing their citizens, men, women and children, just maybe some facsimile of peace can be restored? Didn't we start this whole mess by putting troops in Saudi Arabia to safe guard the ole oil King. The death of King Fahd of Saudi Arabia over what is traditionally celebrated as Lammas on August 1, 2005 is striking considering the Celtic mythology associated with the season. Quite frankly that's not a particularly good omen for America. The sacrificial King who gives his life and blood to the land for the good of the people and to perpetuate prosperity. The death of our son's and daughter's sacrificed on behalf of George Bush's adventure in imperialism, well I think that's gonna start sticking in people's craw. WMD? Spreading Democracy? Oh please.

We of course have had our usual governmental shenanigans occurring in these last few days. The Bolton appointment heads the list, the oil company boon, CAFTA, Patriot Act, way weird weather, and an interesting earthquake prediction for the Mendocino Fault (thank you Peg), one only has to read the blogs for more information then one can entirely digest. Can you just speculate with Ohio's reputation for corrupt politics if Hackett really did win? Still it must be banging the gong for the GOP.

Where do the strings fall in the US chart? Eeewwe eeewww eeewww. (Chart) Well the 8th House placement of the new Moon, Sun, Mercury rx, snuggled close and Saturn has moved into it as well with it's restrictive nature, or the you sowed it so you reap it bucko energies. Hot air breathing down your neck, the whole dragons breath kind of energy. Where's that Dragon's Head ? It's falls in the House of the People, 4th House. Will we see the opportunity or will Neptune's cloudy energies and the lies and deceptions of the oil demons fog the mind of the People? Be wise to that old Snake Oil salesman.

Feed those projects you have in motion, and gads don't plant any seeds now, they'll just be so much dust. Poof. Might just be hot enough to pop corn.
