The New Moon at 2 Leo comes just after midnight in Washington DC at 0:31 AM a time when the nation and world are roiling under a record breaking heat wave tsunami style west coast to east. European cities are posting all time high records, and American people are still questioning if Global Warming is a reality. That nasty national delusional bugger is t. Neptune p. (parallel acts like a conjunction) US n. Moon. It is a fourteen year transit that won’t clear its fog and smog till March 2009 when of course the new Rez is faced with the mess Bush created and exacerbated.
So while man’s inhumanity to man continues unabated everywhere we shall see Lizard Lady with her Progressed Saturn on her Mid-heaven, the New Moon Saturn is square her n. Saturn, the NM Saturn is also cp (contra-parallel acts like an opposition) to her n. Sun placing her in a position to reach success, achieve her ego driven dreams and ambitions is just within her grasp, add t. Saturn cp to her n. Mars which morphs from cp to opposition to n. Mars finds her aggression stymied, isolated and success slipping from her fingers. Meanwhile ole t. Neptune is conjunct her natal Mars letting her think she is more powerful or what she represents is more powerful then they are in reality. Just to add some zing t. Uranus retrograde in her first house of Me is in a trine to her n. Saturn in the 9th house where her fabulous intellect is hamstrung. The world is not in line with her thinking. Progressed Venus 29 Scorpio trine n. Jupiter 29 Cancer sets her up for a make or break point in her career and future bid for the brass ring. This puts her on the world stage villainess or heroine in the eyes of the world.
The Witching Hour over that muggy town of intrigue stands without friendly aspects. Reflecting a real world situation where Bush’s buddy Putin balked, Blair blanched and bailing. Putin didn’t get into the WTO, thus Iran gets to keep enriching Uranium. Great Britain finally balked at the indiscriminate bloodshed wrought by US weapons in Israeli hands. With Chiron opposing the NM from the 10th House the disconnect between the USA’ian government and its own people is profound, with a sesquiquadrate to Uranus the firecracker energy, sudden, spontaneous and lit. The People are the firecracker with the lit fuse.
Mercury, the media is conjunct the IC 21 Cancer retrograde opposing the 21 Capricorn MH, Mercury is the focal point of a Yod with Neptune 16 Aquarius retrograde and Pluto 24 Sagittarius in the 8th House retrograde, add Saturn in-conjunct Uranus and hear the sound of a whip cracking through the air as people start reacting to the wanton destruction and oppression of their lives be it bombs or outsourcing. The media given enough pressure from the People might just start doing their job. In the meantime check out the Guardian or even the BBC you can get a different perspective then what we are allowed to see in the US, you know self censorship by MSM.
Jupiter 9 Scorpio traversing the via combusta opposes the NM ascendant trines Venus 7 in love myself Cancer which Venus then sextiles the NM 7 Taurus Ascendant. What appears to be a lovely, sensitive trine between Venus in Cancer and Jupiter in Scorpio lends an fixed intractable air about it, with Chiron in Aquarius in the mix squaring both the fixed Jupiter in Scorpio and Taurus Ascendant. Planets traversing the via combusta can have a tragic flavor (between 15 Libra and 15 Scorpio).
The new moon in Leo in the US 8th House plants seeds of rebirth, something new will come out of the bitter barren harvest. It is after all the cycle of life.
