Landing UPDATE Wed 9.20: NASA Clears Shuttle for Return to Earth hopefully Thursday morning. My prayers are with them...necessary considering nebulous, dissolving, mysterious Neptune at the Ic/Foundation of the Launch chart--the chart for the mission itself. Mystery objects floating plus prayers--triple Neptune!
UPDATE Tuesday 9.19: Don't know whatcha got 'til it's gone?
Mystery Object escapes from Atlantis, engineers are "concerned"...they don't know what it is or if it's "crucial" so NASA Delays Return for Space Shuttle but weather was making an early landing Wednesday look iffy even before the Mystery Object crimped their style. Thursday or Friday may be the ticket.
Hope it works out for them..."Atlantis"...what a name...sheesh.
3:40 pm
UPDATE Saturday: at 11:15 am edt, all systems went...Atlantis Now Headed for Space Station .
UPDATE Friday morning: NASA Leaning Toward Postponing Launch ...keep leaning, NASA--keep on leaning.
>Thursday's post:
All week I've held myself back from criticizing the possible launch of shuttle Atlantis. First I have to mention that I dropped my dentures back when I first heard someone had chosen "Atlantis" as a name for a shuttle...keywords: abuse or misuse of power; ethics; a sense of imminent doom. Considering the myterious and fabled civilization's ultimate fate, the name isn't exactly a lucky charm.
Putting that freely-admitted prejudice aside, here is the chart for the possible launch Friday, Cape Canaveral, 11:40 am edt.
Normally we think of Jupiter on the Ascendant/rising as protective, and I certainly hope this is so. Yet at 11:40 am, Jupiter is the apex planet in a Fixed T-square between the Saturn/Neptune opposition I've complained of before.
(The Saturn/Neptune combo is associated with loss, denial; martyrdom; grief. There is a positive side, but usually it has to do with putting art, literature, or music into form--don't think it applies here. Historically and politically, the Saturn/Neptune pair are significators of communism.)
Saturn/Neptune = Jupiter: sensitivity; depression; narrow-mindedness; egoism; very upset with the ways of the world; losing the will to fight (this launch decision is not unanymous, so will the yeas give up on launching Friday? Shuttle orbiter projects manager, Steve Poulos, says they're "good to fly" Friday. With Jupiter's role here, I suspect money and funding are main issues in this go-ahead.)
Saturn/Neptune = Asc: limitation of freedom; emotional suffering; feeling confined; sense of being "out of the group"; the loner. (Perhaps this describes one person at NASA who's vehemently against this launch...?)
As an apex planet of a Fixed T-square, Jupiter operates in an opinionated and dogmatic way, and if I had to guess a name as to who Jupiter represents in this chart, it would start with Dick and end with Cheney. (Remember a while back Cheney was gung-ho on a launch, bad idea as it was--he had his grandchildren there to see it. Quelle disappointment.)
There is an intensity and a one-trackedness to apex Jupiter here--an intolerance of the belief systems of others.
Pluto is also at the apex point of a Mutable T-square between Moon/Mercury, and Mercury/North Node, and Mercury represents travel, esp air flight.
Moon/Mercury = Pluto: persuasion or being persuaded; new perspectives; necessity to adjust to new conditions; a reorientation of one's thinking caused by events coupled with destiny; tragic realizations (if so, I hope they're in time to scuddle.)
Mercury/NN = Pluto: the desire to be intellectually superior; lording it over others.
(This midpoint picture has been in effect during Bush's speeches this week.)
Pluto as apex of a Mutable T-square has an intense desire to fulfill ambitions through the use of force, manipulation, or subversive actions. This, I believe, is at the base of their mysterious fuel-cell problems, and it's called sabotage.
Pluto in a Mutable formation such as this is a malcontent...a revolutionary with a hair-trigger nervous system who possesses a strong urge to tear down and destroy concepts and theories which he feels lack depth.
He can be a socially-effective propagandist whose concepts have a deep and unsettling effect upon mass consciousness (hey--sounds like Bush), and his thinking is, needless to say, radical. An example of this configuration natally would be Karl Marx (hey--sounds like Karl Rove.)
If you enlarge the chart, you'll see asteroid Atlantis in the 9th house of foreign enemies, and asteroid Arachne, with her obvious spider and 'web' connections, in the 8th house, opposite Pluto.
Along with Arachne's tech association, we see Uranus (technology; electricity; disruption) again nearing Fixed Star, Achernar, keywords: risk of rapid endings. At Wednesday's launch attempt, the Moon was conjunct Uranus and NN, and now, as you see, she has moved on past and toward the end of Pisces...nearing the Aries Point.
Also, Thursday was the day of a Lunar Eclipse, and without time to do justice here this week to a Lunar Eclipse post, I'll just say now that the Culmination stage is past...not the best time to be startin' somethin'.
The good news is that all week, Mars has been at 29 degrees Virgo, 29 being a Critical degree (critical during Bush's White House speech, too), but has now reached 00Libra...a World Point. Mars isn't happy in Libra though, and Saturn at 18Leo53 is triggering the Sun/Moon degree of the super-difficult Mother of All Eclipses of Nostradamus fame (August 11, 1999)...his "King of Terror" Eclipse.
So really, protective Jupiter rising has a lot to do tomorrow--my hope is that NASA may decide after all to wait for a better day in October. But if they go through with the launch, my prayers are most certainly with them.
