This chart for the
US invasion of Hawaii, with
tr Sun at MC conj US n Pluto (power; transformation; death) is the one I use for the start of the US military's fascination with invading and overthrowing something.
As you see, the invasion--the sugar-grab--occurred just after the third Great Conjunction of
Neptune and Pluto of 1891-1892, defining the
Generation of Materialism of the pillaging robber and energy barons who still hold the purse strings in their claws. (Once you gain by hook or crook you become the crook with the hook.)
These days, Neptune and Pluto are at the
septile phase of their Cycle, a
karmic stage where what has been sown must be reaped.
Now using the Invasion of Hawaii chart doesn't count battles with native peoples through the years although you'll find the battle of
Wounded Knee (Chiron = wound; knee = Saturn) on this list:
U.S. Military Interventions 1890-1999 which was sent to me by
Alex D'Atria at
Astrology Communications Media.
This post's timing is 'off' this evening with Memorial Day being tomorrow--and I certainly don't intend to disrespect our valiant troops who follow at times in the dark due to plutocratic leadership--but I want to give some notes on this chart which relate to more current times. The
Balsamic phase of the Sun and Moon is so often when the sneakiest things are perpetrated...hidden at the dark of the Moon.
As I said, the
US natal Pluto is being triggered by tr Sun--why I've used the midday chart. Here are the midpoint pictures for this pile-up at the Public Status/Career Point (MC = The Goal or Aspiration):
Sun/Pluto = MC: striving for power and control; upset and change to adopt new perspectives; power games with important consequences;
Sun/MC ("the Goal") = Pluto: violent attainment of one's aims; desire to take the lead by use of force; the realization of extraordinary and unusual plans; success; a tragic destiny;
Pluto/MC = Sun: the desire for power and authority.
The invasion occurred during the 2 South Solar Eclipse Series:
2S =
great gains through involvement with unusual group endeavors. This Eclipse has also manifested in 1910, 1928, 1946, 1964, 1982, Dec 15, 2000 (4Cap14 conj the Pluto/Chiron midpoint in the invasion chart 1893.)
It's so very often instructive to look at the
Initial Eclipse in a Series for more info and this one began:
Apr 17, 991 (OS), Sun/Moon 1Tau47 (opposite the NWO's n Sun, btw, 1993, when Uranus and Neptune had
their Great Conjunction); Pluto/Chiron 4Cap26; Venus at Aries Point; NN 14Lib24, conj US n Saturn (authority; control)...(
Predictive Astrology, Bernadette Brady.)
Now which little future politicians were born during this Series thus having it as their Pre-natal Eclipse Series (PE)? At least three that I know of--and all three seem intent on never really going away: Woodrow Wilson, Ronald Reagan, and Hillary Clinton--fyi.
Mars/Saturn:
As you know, the harmful, destructive energy of the
Mars/Saturn combo is one of the most difficult points in any chart. In the chart above, tr Mars/Saturn conjuncts US n Sun and opposes the Moon 14Cap04 (the Moon would have opposed US n Sun prior to noon that day, a culmination stage for national US ego issues--and perhaps a timing device for politicians who use Astrology--and let's not assume Reagan was the only one!):
Mars/Saturn = Sun: the inability to meet all demands or to master all situations; death of members of the male population; physical threat; sense of loss; eking it out;
Mars/Sat = Moon: feelings about losing something; death of members of the female population; depression; lack of courage; weakness of will.
With Fixed Star
Schedir rising, keyword:
The Queen, I assume that the Sun represents the invaders while the Moon represents the population under invasion--and
Hawaii's Queen who was toppled that day by the US military.
The US sugar industry was so gratified!
Now it's 2007 and the chess game continues with stalemates abounding...we know that a 'first' event chart may be used to define all subsequent events of the sort because everything is connected: past, present, and future...it's all about cycles and stages, isn't it?
In Astrology we constantly see it expressed that
how a thing begins is how it ends.
Or if you prefer,
the end is in the beginning--unless something truly extraordinary happens. Since this is basically the same concept as
reap what you sow, it would take
a miracle to turn the ship of America around from her disasterous course so long ago embarked upon and which we're now seeing played out in the Middle East.
Crusading and invading--but on
both sides, not just the US's!
Yet if you read the list of US invasions given above, you may rightly wonder what it would take to rock the boat without capsizing her entirely.
My saddest feeling is that I long ago gave up the assumption (nurtured through my growing up in America) that the elite ruling class gives a hoot for sustaining America--because capsizing her is just what they signed on for and they have no intention of ever letting go the reins of power and wealth.
That's why the most unpopular president in US history is still infesting
our White House...and shoe-horning that cuss out the door
would take a miracle.
Update 9 pm: just found this from Information Clearing House:
Overthrow: America's Century of Regime Change from Hawaii to Iraq about "regime change" being US foreign policy for over 110 years.
That's what
she said.
