Darrel Issa's Sun Scorpio-Moon Virgo interrogates!

In January 2011 I wrote a few notes concerning the personality found in the natal chart of one Darrel Issa. Quite the dissecting critic is he.

Today, June 20 (Summer Solstice 2012 at 7:09 pm edt in Washington-- horoscope shown), Issa is in his element as the probe of Attorney General Eric Holder grinds on toward a contempt of Congress citation (something most Americans issued to Congress years ago.)

Yes, the Republicans are playing payback time in Washington DC. Yet it isn't as if Alberto Gonzales didn't merit all the scorn and approbation his criminal turn as Attorney General brought him at the hands of his Democratic interrogators.

"Payback" and "blowback"--actions have consequences. Even in Washington DC.

Visit msnbc.com for breaking news, world news, and news about the economy

Pardon their ad. This aired yesterday on msnbc.

Update 6.20.12: White House uses executive privilege to keep documents from Issa. So much for that. Would George Bush be proud?

At last: Gonzo finds a job

As unemployment numbers continue to dismay our country, there's news on the job hunting front for one small man.

After finally finding a job (teaching!), it turns out that the staff of his new employer, Texas Tech, doesn't want Alberto Gonzales, our former unqualified, Bush-Cheney but*-kisser of an Attorney General whose undistinguished career is preceeding and following him simultaneously.

His connection with the Bush-Cheney regime got him the post, but will it manage to shove Gonzo onto Texas Tech's teaching staff and keep him there?

Okay okay - let's give him a chance - maybe he'll do a superb job. And I suspect his former 'service' to the neocon/perpetual war cause during the Bush years has left him quite well rewarded.

Besides, they stick together, these old goats.

Bush's torture memo authors can't fnd jobs

If the tale of how a former Cheney chief-of-staff can't find a job elicits a collective 'ahhh-h-h-h..h...h....h...' moment, I'll eat my tortured chapeau.

More like a tut tut especially since you'd think they'd have thought of that. Even eight l o n g years don't last forever.

Sheesh. Hope they weren't expecting awards and rewards for their fascist efforts!

Stars, Asteroids, Saturn, and Eclipses, too!

April Kent, at Big Sky Astrology has written an excellent article on asteroids, Saturn, and Eclipses!

And you've gotta love it when personal name asteroids show up--such as Albert 29Leo+ being triggered by Saturn and conjunct Fixed Star Regulus, from the tip of Leo the Lion's tail; keywords: success if revenge is avoided.

Apparently, for certain politicians, it wasn't. So check out April's articles for more information on this fascinating subject fraught with politics and drama...Leos do love the drama.

those cats: Alberto and Petraeus



Photo of a kitty cat I know who is actually named Alberto. He was rescued from Hurricane Alberto while clinging for dear life inside a drainpipe. He is now sleek and shiny and quite the master of the household. Just call him Bert...or For Dinner.

Meanwhile an Alberto kitten in law was written about another Alberto back in April.

And it seems a certain kitty poet knew something was fishy back when he phoned in
a brave kitten Petraeus for me to post at Lim's Limericks. Because now Petraeus' name is on the verge of being "dragged through the mud" a la George Bush whose family name may ultimately define the meaning of muddy names.

Where are the Weapons of Mass Disappearance and where are our millions, General P?

Perhaps he can fill us in--the American taxpayers--on their missing dough when he reads the "Petraeus Report" in mid-September...footnotes by Cheney, Kristol, and Hadley.

Einstein fans rejoice as warping found

Einstein's Warping Found Around Neutron Stars yet I never doubted Albert, did you?

Alberto and his warping of the DOJ, that's another dark matter. Now if the White House can find the thousands of missing and damning emails, we'll really be on to something. Hint: they're in this universe.

deja-vuing Alberto Gonzales

Here are some of the highlights from SO'W of past Gonzo posts for a look-back upon the already-been-seens:

Gonzo's high noon 7.31.07


midpoints affecting Al Gonzales


Gonzales: Bowling for Freedom with Saturn

Scroll just below for the latest entry on this morning's resignation. And check out my post A leader of men wrapped in an invisible mantle of power over at Jude's Threshold if you're interested in the Sabian Symbol for America's Mercury--active today when Gonzales made his diverting morning announcement of dramatic importance.

But where is Gonzales going?

As you know by now, Atty Gen Alberto Gonzales announced his resignation this morning at 10:32 am edt, an hour of Mars. The announcement took 2 minutes with no questions answered so we were spared the usual Washington tripe: to spend more time with my family.

Last day is to be Sep 17--4 days after the Sep 11 Solar Eclipse. Today's announcement comes the day before the Lunar Eclipse 4Pis47 which is a Full Moon or the culmination stage of things begun at the New Moon, in this case, Aug 12, at "20Leo"--where Venus is today.

I confess to a smidge of controlled joy as I set up the 10:32 am chart yet my accustomed suspicious nature soon took over...there's a YOD (Finger of God; special purpose or task, crisis) pointing to MC 24Can30 which is the position of the US natal Mercury...and MC is the Career/Public Status/Aspirations Point. Mercury rules announcements and communications.

So we have Moon/Pluto which together indicate fanatical striving for objectives or zeal which has no regard for other people; exaggerated new plans; offended vanity or conceit, and/or an extreme expression of feelings.
Moon/Pluto = Mc: remaining alone and never acting in accord; ego-consciousness prevails; one-sided emotional intensity.

At least one of TV's talking heads remarked that AG seemed calm...Sun/Jupiter midpoint was rising at 10:32 am...

Sun/Jupiter = ASC: shared success; devoting one's life to social aspirations; great enthusiam; successful teamwork.

Does this sound to you like his "resignation" is a pitiful thing?

Gonzo's n Neptune is rising...the actor or his identity dissolving...or both. His worst day serving the country (actually serving Bush), he said, was better than his father's best day. A sentimental touch for the peanut gallery. Are you buying?

But it is most interesting is to read the YOD with the US Mercury in place...

Moon/Pluto = Mercury: strategizing; planning; far-reaching plans; pursuit of comprehensive ideas with great zeal; the power of persuasion; wielding a powerful infuence upon the public.

Mars, whose hour it is, is at the midpoint of Mercury/Uranus...

Mercury/Uranus = Mars: summing up a situation quickly and acting accordingly; determination and courage; a sudden success and advancement in life; assaults; nervous drive finds the mark and usually pays off; the instincts of a fighter hitting home.

Perhaps the far-reaching plans refer to the NWO regime marching on and the sacrifice of Gonzo has become necessary to save the gorgon's head...Bush with his second head, Cheney. Then Gonzo can put up his hooves on a Texas porch next to Karl's while they await the commander-in-thief they helped create. Pass the beer and peanuts.

Or maybe they should consider kicking back instead on the Bush family compound's porch in Paraguay.

midpoints affecting Al Gonzales

Will a special prosecutor be appointed to investigate Atty Gen. Alberto Gonzales?

Can't Congress and Senate do anything about his lies and perfidies without the extra time (running out the clock, are we?) and expense to the taxpayers? Are they in league with his and Bush's agenda no matter what theater they put on to impress and make it look as if they're actually doing something about our broke-tore-up Justice Dept?

Perhaps you recall my previous post from Feb '06 about
Saturn and Gonzo and how Saturn was plowing through his Leo line-up of planets.

Well, it's still going on now as Saturn 25Leo06 currently visits his natal Pluto 26Leo46 Rx. And powerful Pluto is well within orb of natal NN (encounters; associations; meetings) and will Station Direct appr Sept 7...on natal NN...ouch!

Heavy-weight Pluto's behind-the-scenes power trumps Saturn's power and authority so someone's keeping AG around--and we all know whom (or think we know.)

So can transiting midpoints have anything to do with the well-deserved oppression he's now experiencing? Have the unlawful chickens come home to roost?

If you click to enlarge the chart, you'll find I've added some of AG's natal midpoints and planets which I will now type out for you using midpoint directories from Tyl and from Ebertin:

At 9:30 am, Capitol Hill, the rising degree 12Vir34 brings up his natal Uranus/Neptune so we have...

Uran/Nep = ASC: wearing anxieties on one's sleeve; needing sympathy; instability; hypersensitivity; being depressed with others.

In 12th house there's Saturn recently moved beyond his Mars/Pluto midpoint...

Mars/Pluto = Saturn: desire to overcome difficulties at all costs; leaving no stone unturned in pursuit of a particular task (even if they're groggy from surgery apparently-jc.)

Saturn stomping on n Pluto as mentioned: threat of loss; very hard work; struggling to control current behaviors and motivations resulting from the past; loss of control in a situation that is simply too large to handle.

Transit Sun/Moon midpoint--a balance point in any chart and which concerns relationships--is conj n Saturn/Pluto midpoint, a cruel and laborious pair.

Neglectfully I did not write in Wednesday's Saturn/Pluto midpoint which is now at 25Libra56 (still hanging about Bush's n IC as previously mentioned in another post) and this difficult midpoint is now conj Gonzales' n Pluto/NN midpoint--AND his n Neptune.

It's important for understanding this little fellow so I'll type out again the picture for n Pluto/NN = Neptune (Plu/NN is the urge to become a public figure, and associations with the powerful)...

Plu/NN = Neptune: attaining success by use of lies and fraud; losses and disadvantages; the power of the half truth; deception as a tool; win at any cost.

Our ongoing Saturn/Neptune opposition has been affecting AG's Pluto--and his natal Moon as well if n Moon is within orb of opposing n Pluto, and since everyone knows the trouble he's seen recently, his Moon may just be opposite Pluto. This aspect would give him a cranky, hard-to-get-along-with personality and a tendency to buck authority.

Ironic considering how desperate he is to keep his own!

This post began with the question, "will a special prosecutor be appointed to investigate Gonzales?"

And while I have little confidence in a Congress-in-cahoots (that body of Bush enablers), the midpoints and planetary transits to Al Gonzales' natal placements would cower all but the strongest.

Can this sniveler outlast the barrage?

Today on Capitol Hill 5.10.07



Today on Capitol Hill promises much drama with Alberto Gonzales again attempting to defend the administration's stacking of the deck at the Injustice Dept and a vote on the war funding stalemate.

Sparse time this morning to do (in?)justice to the day's chart factors but I do want to mention a few things.

We see 12Can17 rising at 9:30 am edt...Bush and the nation's natal Sun rising.

Saturn (Ds; authority; control; accountability) is now direct 18Leo32, and is therefore continuing to plague AG's Mars/Pluto midpoint:

Mars/Pluto = Saturn: forcibly overcoming obstacles and difficulties; leaving no stone unturned in pursuit of a particular task; hard hard work with extraordinary discipline needed and usually paying off.

For Bush it's his n Venus/Pluto being affected by Saturn:

Venus/Pluto = Saturn: immorality; a sense of tragedy (similar to what I felt when he first hijacked the Oval Office? 'Oval Office' is connected with the planet Venus which is out-of-bounds today.)

The day has an interesting quindecile (165 degrees, an aspect of compulsion-obsession) between Venus and Jupiter--and which relates specifically to the war funding bill:

Venus QD Jupiter: excessively driven with a need for relationships/money; idealism; codependency; morals and ethics based on those of one's partners/s and on material gain; excess and indulgence; belief systems become the major motivator (The Quindecile, Ricki Reeves.)

If you're visitng this blog, you may click to enlarge the day's chart set for 9:30 am when the curtain rises and you'll see my chicken scratch notes to add to your delight. Otherwise, here are the midpoints of the day beginning with the most obvious feature of the chart, the ongoing and explosive Mars/Uranus conjunction now widening yet snugged at MC, the WHY Point of the 9:30 am chart:

Mars/Uranus = MC: an inflexible character; violent or drastic measures; putting a gun to someone's head; injury; accident; extraordinary achievements. (btw: this midpoint pic was active when Cheney shot Whittington in the face.)

Mars/ASC = SUN: quarrel; mishap; excitability; intense teamwork; love of fighting; having to adjust things forcefully; operating in an inhospitable milieu.

Mercury/Pluto = NN: being recognized for communication skills; desire to be spokesperson for the community.

NN/MC = Uranus: sudden emotional reactions; acting impulsively or rashly; behaving restlessly with others; sudden and deeply moving experiences; zaniness; solving problems innovatively with others.

Here are the midpt pics from the FIXED T-squares--all with the inflexible, unyielding Sun as apex planet:

Moon/Saturn = Sun: feelings of enforced controls; sobering times; separation.

Saturn/Neptune = Sun: painstaking attention to hard work and feeling alone in the effort; sensitivity; illness from emotional suffering or setbacks. (The Saturn/Neptune combo usually bring grief, weakness, and torment in their wake.)

The T-square pattern also includes one between Saturn/Chiron which I believe is a picture of 'wounded authority' still pointing to the stubborn Taurean Sun...a Sun (leader) who is powerfully determined to succeed but attracts enduring power struggles in his relationships due to his unyieldingness. And so the stand-off continues! (Dynamics of Aspect Analysis, Bil Tierney.)

And now here is the Image for the idealistic and steadfast Sun-Moon blend for today:

Sun Tau-Moon AQ: A country squire holds the summer fete in his garden: all monies raised are divided between three charities in the village--the Friendly Farmer's Trust, the Local Artists' Guild, and the Quakers' Orphanage.

Hmm. Seems Bush can't grasp last November's message from The People--or the fact that the billions he so determined to spend (and continue to profit from) belong to us and we want his obscenely expensive war machine turned around and brought back home to stem the hemorraghing of America.

To close, here's a quote from two people who share natally the Sun Tau-Moon AQ blend:

"When you're down and out, something always turns up--and it's usually the noses of your friends." - Orson Welles

And: "May the Force be with you." - George Lucas

Gonzo's reprieve

Yes, it figured that Gonzales would have a Tuesday reprieve but what a sad and miserable reason at VA Tech, and my condolences go out to them all on campus and to their families and friends.

One tries not to think of false flag operations at times like this, of course, but will Thursday be any better for Al G's appearance on Capitol Hill?

Perhaps.

Tuesday's closed-circuit Grand Trine between Jupiter, Saturn, and the Moon (which was not mentioned in my last post) will be "replaced" on Thursday by a
Grand Trine involving Jupiter, Saturn, and Mercury (communications; testifying, etc.)

Jup/Sat = Mercury: studying hard and asking the right questions (softballs?); desire to make changes; a fortunate separation.

Sigh...if George wants Gonzo to stay, he'll stay. Besides, Al must know where so many bodies are buried.

Apr 17: here come de judge

Tuesday, April 17 is more than just Tax Day, it's the day Gonzales is scheduled to speak to Congress.

His opening statement having been released Sunday, the players have plenty of time to rehearse their parts.

On Tuesday at 7:35:59 am edt (Cap Bldg) there is a New Moon 27Aries05.

You'll find the basics on the Sabian Symbol for "28 Aries" here by scrolling down to Robespierre's natal Moon in Aries--"I AM the people." The keyword for this degree is DISJUNCTION.

The Image for the bold, quick-thinking, crusading Sun Aries-Moon Aries combo is:

An invincible Hercules, propelled by primeval power, bursts into the dark castle, unties the fair maiden, and together they ride off into the sunset.

(I like the ride off into the sunset part.)

This jives with the Sun and Moon being benefically trined by Mr. Primeval Power himself, Pluto, now at 28Sag54 Rx...conj Fixed Star, Acumen, keywords: "enduring attacks which weaken."

The New Moon is perfected within 12th house of behind-the-door deals/meetings with Pluto trining New Moon from the 8th house of High Finances.

And illusive, deceptive Neptune is in 10th house so I would expect lots of spin of the spidery web variety (lost emails galore these days!)--and perhaps an element of self-sacrifice in the Career--esp since Fixed Star, Diadem is parallel (similar to a conjunction) the ASC at the moment of the New Moon.

There is a T-square formed and pointing to the ASC 19Tau29...from the ongoing Saturn-Neptune opposition, so we see:

Sat/Neptune = ASC: feeling confined; sense of being 'out of the group' (has Gonzo been jettisoned with Cheney's and Bush's "answer for yourself" buh-bye?); oppressive circumstances; limitation of freedom.

Of course, Saturn's realism mixed with Neptune's imagination and delusions give mixed results in the honesty department.

During the New Moon, Mercury 11Ari16, is unaspected--working on his own--and as we know, Gonzales has been rehearsing in a determined fashion for this performance.

Mercury (testify!) is conj tr Ceres, an asteroid which represents security issues in a mundane or national chart.

It's a contentious Mars hour...with Mars in deceived/deceiving Pisces ("9Pis": "A jockey spurs his horse." This is a Mars-opposite-Mars transit for Bush--the head-against-brickwall transit. Others don't cooperate as they should! Yet Bush never admits the adverse, and Gonzo will attempt to do same in his testimony.)

Quarrels (Mars) are indicated as well as a lack of self-control, diplaying unusual energy, upping the tempo, rash actions, ready-to-go, striving for power and control, and--although you don't need astrology charts to tell you this--

power games with important consequences.

Appointing judges at their will and whim--that's what they were ultimately up to, imho. And this naturally brings in the Evangelicals and Vaticaners with their priorities in the courts.

Perhaps "the judge" can fill us in on their so-named "murder boards" while he's at it--that'd make a nice side story to distract from White House involvement in pressuring US Attys...and interfering with justice.

that useful Fifth Amendment

Some US laws the Bushies monkey with at will--some they hide behind when it's tres convenient.

Such is the case of Monica Goodling, a Justice Department official and Gonzales' senior counsel and White House liason, as she's about to testify bwo subpoena concerning the Bushie prosecutor purge. She was one of the varmints Paul McNulty said "misled" him before his own February testimony.

Do we look that stupid to them? Guess so. This is the political heat they warned themselves to be girded for.

Gonzales Aide to Invoke Fifth Amendent...still, I certainly wouldn't want her not to be able to protect herself from her own testimony, now would I? Especially since I might need the Fifth myself one day...

Valerie Plame goes to Congress

After some requests I'm posting Valerie Plames's natal chart (sunrise) with this morning's transits set for Capitol Hill.

You see that tr Sun is conjunct her n Venus and tr Venus is conjunct her n Sun! Very appropriate given today's comments that she was a "platinum blonde" who looked like a "movie star" as she strode into the hearing room this morning.

On a side note--or is it?--Jupiter at 19Sag08 is conjunct the Chiron/Pluto midpoint of the Patriot Act chart (Oct 26, 2001)...that's Chiron/Pluto: plutocracy, oppression, racism, class warfare, and all that. And there's Jupiter (the judge--hey, that's Al Gonzales' nickname, isn't it?)...Jupiter to expand, over-expand, and/or broadcast the concept.

This morning, tr Moon conjoined tr Neptune, nebulous planet of obfuscation, veils, and covers...and the glamorous lady spy was in the House, her identity as a spy revealed for all to see. Glamour is also a function of Neptune, as you know, as were all the photographers present for her testimony.#

Sununu Calls Time Out for Gonzo

You'll want to read this Sununu Calls for Gonzales' Dismissal if you haven't yet but one cannot help thinking of an improvement, ...Calls for Gonzales' Arrest...that'd be more in line with fair reward for Gonzo's devious actions.

It seems to be: laws mean something VS some who think themselves above all laws...the law-makers, the system-breakers.

(See Chiron-Uranus Types in Government if you wish.)

Must be difficult not to be arrogant when you have that much power within society.

Still! may we not forget for Whom he did these things...for the commander-in-thief, as Thom Yorke put it so early on. And I couldn't agree more.
