The Chinese have been described as inscrutable. Alternate words from the English Thesaurus to use in place of “inscrutable” would be enigmatic, unfathomable, impenetrable, unreadable, and sphinx-like. China prides themselves on being “unreadable” and America has always been wary of the Asian mind because America doesn’t understand the Chinese culture, the opposite side of that coin is they don’t understand us either, setting both cultures on guard and fearful, we of the East, they of the West. Right now our governments are circling each other like two Lions staking out their territory and ready to pounce if the wrong move is made.

The male within the animal kingdom is fond of “marking” their territory and the human race is part of the animal kingdom. Instead of “peeing” on trees, the human male buys up their enemy or starts wars to take their enemy’s resources. China, by buying up the resources of the US has marked this territory fairly well, and Hu came to “town” to let everyone know he can view his property anytime he wants and he brings personal power with him.

Hu Jintao was born December 21, 1942 in Jiangyin, China and has been on the Communist fast track since collage. He is a student of Mao and Mao’s dislike of the United States. It seems as if, these first few years of the 21st Century, is playing out the problems generated by the 20th Century, but to what resolution remains to be seen.

The United States made great gains as a super power during WWII and the ensuing Cold War. In the early part of this Century, transiting Neptune crossed over the US South Node, as did Solar Arc Mars, making me wonder if we would be slipping or losing the ground we gained. George Bush may have tried to make a run at being not just a super power but an “imperial power” at exactly the wrong time and place in history and China could be in exactly the right position to garner that position for themselves.

China steps on the current world scene with the foundation of the People’s Republic of China on Sept. 21, 1949, at 12:00pm in Peking, China, although they did not take office until October 1, 1949 at 8:00am. The Sun of the People’s Republic is 27 degrees Virgo, close to the US Neptune. Their Neptune at 14 Libra sits on the US Saturn and squares the US Sun (as well as George Bush’s Sun) the lack of trust and obfuscation between the two governments is huge. Their Jupiter sits close to the US Pluto signifying their eagerness to loan the US money and US Pluto in a trine to their Sun is eager to suck it all up but won’t be eager to pay the price.

Mr. Hu Jintao is not just any ole Sagittarius, his Sun is at 28 degrees in a trine to his North Node and Chiron and just close enough to the Galactic Center to be enfolded within its Black Hole recesses. Next year Pluto will conjunct his Sun, trine his NN and Chiron and square China’s Sun, he will be responsible for shaking up China and possibly in a positive way and he does or will see the US and Mr. Bush as a “paper tiger.” Next year the US could see Mr. Hu in a more positive light or a more powerful light as it relates to the US. His Venus and Mercury oppose our Venus and Jupiter, not really a bad aspect, but an excessive aspect, but his Neptune squares our Venus. You know what I’m going to say don’t you with Neptune square Venus? Illusions and deception, with luck it will be “guile” and not deception.

I don’t know if China will cash in their chips (but they could) however, there is no doubt they practically own the US, the Bush family and the Republican Party. Hu’s Pluto sits right on Bush’s Ascendant and Mercury, along with China’s Mars square their Venus aspect, giving him and them “power” over Bush (whom they identify as the US right now) and with transiting Saturn there they are feeling quite a bit of suppressed anger. He is standing in line with Saudi Arabia expecting “kisses” from this administration. That’s why all the pomp and dressed up Minute Men were in review for Mr. Hu in Washington.

I don’t see China over taking the US for several years but they will make their presence known here and soon. They want to be recognized and respected for their contributions and it would be a good idea to do so. Our “leader of the free world” has a tendency toward petulance and he sadly showed it yesterday.
China’s Moon conjuncts their Saturn indicating the crack down on the people, but Uranus just opposed that and in a few years Neptune will oppose, the “people” in the “People’s Republic” are getting restless. I expect one more attempt to crack down on them when Saturn goes into Virgo, but ultimately Neptune will dissolve away a lot of that repression as China opens up more and more to the rest of the world. Funny how these would be empires like Russia, China, US, and Germany in its day, need to stamp out the light of the people in order to feel safe. They are afraid of us folks and we are afraid of them, what a ridiculous circle.

China and Mr. Hu will change over this next year (2006/2007) and we will absolutely have to change our attitude toward them, it doesn’t do for the world to be warring any more and any thing we can do as individuals to spread the word and feel of peace, the better off we will be.

There is good news coming for the US the first week or two of May and for anyone with 13/14 degrees of a water sign (including GWB) Careful of wishing bad luck for George in case there is a boomer-rang into bad luck for others, we can all use some good news right now. Anything, the war is over and our troops are coming home, Rumsfeld decides to resign, the Republicans and Democrats decide to seriously do something about their party corruption, anything like that would be wonderful.

China is a huge part of our future and it’s a mistake to carry past beliefs, or past prejudices, or experiences forward, remember they brought us Acupuncture and Confucius and I for one have benefited by by both.
