This is a new thread until Morgana has her solstice article ready to go and to give everyone a fresh comment page. It took me several minutes to scroll to the bottom and thought I would put this up.
Right now life reminds me of those trips many of us make with children who want to know if "they've arrived" every 10 seconds. It's so been a bumpy ride and we are so sick and tired of this group, I feel like one of those kids "Momma, are we there yet?" I saw the 9 Women Senators of the Democratic Party on Larry King tonight and wondered if we could elect them as a Presidential Panel to lead this country. They were fantastic. I'm just going to give a quick recap on some items.
The In House Resident:
It won't be his best summer. While he may like to live in a bubble and tries to do so, he does not. There are people around him with all kinds of issues that will pull him into their problems. It's kind of like YOU are having a wonderful summer, but your family isn't. Your son sets fire to his room, and because you're having a good few months, he isn't killed and the entire house didn't go up in flames; but you still have to shell out $50,000 to repair the damage. (thank god you have the money because you're having a wonderful time.) Your spouse loses their job, but life is great for you so it only means a few weeks of their depression and fear. In George's case, his wife, his Attorney General, his Veep, his brother, his attorney (James Baker) and Iraq are looking for the matches now. He has to deal with them all.
He can be grateful that he has a grand trine for a few weeks with transiting Uranus and Jupiter in a trine to his Sun, it also trines the US Sun and we could have a great summer too if it weren't for the present day administration and that pesky Iraqi occupation with their killing and their ugly anger at the US for killing them. George maybe having a wonderful summer this year, but he won't remember it as such because no one around him is having fun and no one wants to hear his "stay the course."
Karl Rove
Transiting SN went over Karl's Saturn, transiting Saturn opposed his Mars. Karl lost something. While many of us wanted that loss to be his freedom, it may have been something much more precious to Karl. His credibility, his respect, his mystic. We will watch that unfold over the summer months, but the thrill is gone for Karl and those who feared him.
Scooter Libby
Chances are he will be pardoned, but if it's this summer it will be a mistake that will hang like a cloud over his head. His public service work will certainly be done and he's lost a ton of friends. Whatever popularity he enjoyed will be a while before he regains anyone's trust or friendship.
Mexico Elections
Something confusing here. Transiting Neptune conjuncts Mexico's Natal Mars (Mars rules the mid-heaven in the Mexico Chart) Something will slip away from Mexico, it could be the present day government or it could be their hope for a people's President will be dashed. With transiting Saturn coming to an opposition to their Sun gives hope to the Conservative. I hope Obrador makes it but there has been a scandal with what seems to be a corrupt brother-in-law.
We are naturally focused on the US, but the things we are experiencing with our government is going on all over the world right now; the unseen hand of chaos.
I saw an Inconvient Truth today. It was informational, educational, a definate wake up call, and slightly boring; and I would vote for Al Gore in a New York Minute. He may be boring, but he is smart, compassionate, caring, strong and understands the major issues of today and is a leader. I still cannot believe that we as a people didn't take to the streets and demonstrate against the Supreme Court's illegal decision to put George Bush in the White House. When I look at this boring, intelligent, solid, strong man and think "that could have been our president" I feel sick.
Well enjoy the new comment page, Morgana will soon be up.
