A news reporter from the NY Times in discussing the Foley Scandal, was almost giggling when he said "the guy is a hypocrite and if you can't enjoy watching the fall of a hypocrite you just aren't getting the most zest out of life that you could."
That comment struck me hilariously funny because it's true, so true and hypocrisy is on display in Washington this week. I feel kind of sorry for them because they keep coming with more excuses and they don't know how utterly stupid they sound and how little credibility they have. Believe me the scrambling behind the scenes to cover their tracks on the Foley scandal and other scandals positioned on the brink of pushing the GOP off the cliff for a very long time.
On November 17, 1800 at 9:00am in Washington, DC, the United States Congress had their very first setting in the brand new Nation's Capital. That august body of senators and representatives stood together and pledged their loyality to the Constitution and to the people of The United States of America.
The Sun was in Scorpio and it squared Saturn in Leo, repeating the Sun/Saturn square of the 1776 Declaration of Independence. With their very own Sun/Saturn square, they would be the parent of the presidential parent and together they would parent the country. They would make the laws, they would oversee the office of the President, giving permission (or not) when asked. On that November day in 1800 they had lofty ideals, maybe integrity (maybe not) but believed they did and above all they took themselves very very seriously and would demand respect.
The Nov. 17 chart also had another similar aspect to the July 4, 1776 energies. They had a Mars/Neptune opposition picking up the flavor of the Mars/Neptune square in the US chart. True this aspect can promote high ideals, it will also encourage justification for any and all actions as well as a tendency to periodically completely draining the treasury without having to be responsible or pay for that little bit of theft. Sweet.
Against that background let me assure you that the scandals will just keep on comin for Congress this month, in fact for several months. These poor people are experience about their 7th Saturn Return and that is "test" time. Have you done what you said you would do and held your positions with honor. Whoops, that's gonna be a hard test to pass. Just to make sure Congress comes clean (the stars cannot trust them on their own) their progressed Mercury (the planet of communication) has passed to 29 degrees Sagittarius. Oh dear, that Mercury was in an exact square to our recent Solar Eclipse of September 22.
So many of the Washington "players" are having mean ole Saturn transits to their Suns, Mercurys, Mars Saturn squares and returns all over the place. And if that isn't enough, Jupiter just went through a conjunction to their natal Neptune and Neptune is squaring. That is the Bubble that Burst aspect, and we don't want to forget that Saturn was also impacting the same degree.
This is the WHOLE Congress undergoing the spotlight, including the Democrats so the scandals will fall on everyone.
Just briefly the names on the list will be:
Hillary Clinton
Bill Clinton
Dennis Hastert
Condi Rice
Joe Lieberman
George Allen
George Bush
Kissinger
Gingrich
maybe Arnold Schwarzenegger
Boehner
Blackwell
That's just for starters as Saturn/Neptune and Pluto fling horse puckey in their paths.
The election day Mercury and Uranus retrograde, as well as the Sun, Mercury Venus square to Neptune has given me concern as to the outcome of the elections. Those aspects throw fog, lies, theft and confusion everywhere on that day, but they are universal aspects and they could create havoc for the GOP as well as the Democrats, just depending on where the majority of the horse puckie falls. Looking at the charts of both their parties I don't think anyone will come out unscathed.
Let's just say that the cosmic gods have set up the bowling alley, the pins are in place and if you listen very carefully you will hear the gong and the cry "let's bowl."
