Gates of the Pentagon





At 7:00 am est this morning, Robert Gates took his oath of office in secret administered by Bush's Chief of Staff. And yet the Gates of the Pentagon swing both ways, you know. Why begin such a difficult undertaking during the Balsamic phase of the Moon? It's the phase of endings and partings.

Could this refer to the partings that will take place if more troops are sent into the devil's brew stirred up in the Middle East by the Bush administration?

Asteroid, Niobe, the grieving mother, is conjunct Mars, planet of war and of the military, hence of soldiers (and policemen.)

And I must not foget the grieving mothers of Iraq, Afghanistan, Palestine, Israel, Lebanon, Syria, and elswhere who are brought even lower by my warhawkin' government's imperial ways...but not abused by the US alone, oh no, but by their own neighbors and kin as well.

And yet--the last hours of the Balsamic phase is when it behooves you to begin an enterprise which would benefit from...Publicity! Why am I not surprised?!

SO'W received a thoughtful comment from Jeff C. concerning this morning's installation of Robert Gates as head honcho of the Pentagon and the US war machine.

Jeff suggests "...the publicity of the event being the Sun, Gates being the new, Plutonian Bully-boy on the block, and the Pentagon being Galactic Center."

Plausible, for sure, but I've been considering it more this way: the (leader) Sun is Gates as the Sun catches up to Pluto (the Pentagon), with Galactic Center being the energy vortex which will result if Gates sends more troops to the Middle East. (G.C. may also have a nuclear connotation unhappily.)

Moon is Publicity and the very isolated Saturn represents George Bush.

Transit Pluto has been at G.C. previously and describes the violence, explosions, and the futility of wasting ourselves in what may end up worse than the British rout from Kabul and the subsequent massacre--the Brits were left one lone survivor for reporting purposes, no doubt--in January, 1842. The Khyber Pass, snow and ice, and hordes of very upset natives.

Read about the retreat from Kabul on Wikipedia, of course, but you may also click on the above link to The Book of Days, then click on WARS.

As far as Gates' comments at his public swearing in this afternoon, Mr. Gates ignored the fact that failure in Iraq came the day Bush, Cheney, and Rumsfeld Invaded Iraq illegally for their own self-serving reasons--reasons which would shock us if they were fully known.

Secret Swearings:

In the above chart for 7:00 am, we see that Mercury, debilitated in questing Sagittarius, is oriental...rising just before the Sun. This gives a crossing-the-Ts-dotting-the-Is kind of demeanor to the Sun which, I believe, is Mr. Gates.

If you enlarge the chart and can read my chicken scratch you'll see I've added the WHAT (Asc), WHERE (Desc), HOW (Ic), and WHY (Mc) Sabian Symbols--just the Symbols/pictures themselves--to the chart's Angles.

At the base or foundation of the chart (HOW), I've put both versions for "11 Aries"...Marc Edmund Jones gives, "The president of the country" while Dane Rudhyar gives "The ruler of a nation." Both pictures are basically the same concept, I just like them both for you-know-who who facilitated the swearing in.

Uranus at "11Pis" is at the Initiate's degree, which I think is significant in view of the condition of Mercury as mentioned. But what does a debilitated Mercury in Sag entail?

Mercury in Sag considers itself--it, for Mercury is neutral--to be a paragon of truth. (In Washington? P-shaw!) There is a preoccupation with distant and lofty goals...which you'd think the American prople had had enough of, wouldn't you?
Especially while our own nation's dire needs--more emergency rooms, anyone?--are being ignored and underfunded.

This lofty-goal tendency can cause one to miss what's obvious and right under one's nose, and with broad-viewing Jupiter as chart-ruler, it sounds like too much of the same to me. A change of attitude isn't much if that's all you change. And a change of slogan is an insult.

With the US secondary progressed Mars (military) now Rx, and our weapons, equipment, and troops wumped out and needing more money infusions than we've got--thanks to drunken-sailor spending of GOPers and their enablers--the US's failure in Irag is more than Mr Gates can handle unless he, too, changes the direction of our military "on the ground" and reverses the daft, bullheaded course of George W. Bush.

Yes, Robert Gates' initiation today has earmarks of his being just another Jupiter Mantra type--every day in every way I'm getting better and better...an ego-illusion if there ever was one--and one that can be sustained only temporarily until reality sets in.

The Sand Dune to Nowhere is what Bush'n'crew have given us and Gates' Shout-Out to Bush Sr's former catch phrases and slogans today are not enough to save what's left...as we know, rhetoric is not enough, and the CENTRALIZATION OF POWER at the base of today's propaganda charade will only make the crow go down more drily for America eventually--even drier than choking on a royal pretzel until unconsciousness envelops the wilted George Bush.

Hopefully, Mr. Gates will find a new direction that doesn't follow the rubberstamped mantric madness of Bush's mistakes, miscalculations, lies, and illusions.

Here's an idea:

Perhaps our globalist puppetmasters should get out of politics--for in the last few years they've been shown to be doing a really sucky job at it.
