Tonight's VP debate between Senator Joe Biden and Gov. Sarah Palin is to begin at 8:00 pm CDT in St. Louis, MO. This is a Saturn Hour and gives Venus as the chart ruler.This may be a good thing in spite of my mistaken posts this morning citing Mercury Rx as the chart ruler because the chart you see here takes some of the pressure off debating, orating Mercury.
Venus, as noted in the chart, applies to a lovely sextile with Jupiter, now opposite US natal Sun, as noted previously. Venus then applies to a square with Chiron in AQ, and as you see, NN and wounded Chiron, the shaman and healer, are still traveling in tandem. Palin may do well with Republican 'Jupiters' everywhere, but may experience blockages (square) from being seen as inadequate (Chiron) with the general public (NN.)
Glamorous Neptune 21AQ43 Rx is still veiling (conj) Palin's natal Sun so seeing her through rosy glasses remains a factor for the susceptible.
Moon 22Sco51 and Sun 10Lib12 give a rather interesting word picture or Image for Integration as the Sun-Moon blend:
"A wolf and an elegant Burmese cat become inseparable friends." ('Sun Sign-Moon Sign,' Chas & Suzy Harvey.)
If this chart shows the correct CDT time for the beginning of the VP debate (unlike my posts of this morning) the rising Sabian Symbol for the debate itself is: "A Man Handling Baggage" which indicates to me an experienced man, aka a man with a past.
Angular is the mystical Neptune/Pluto midpoint at MC...on the chart perhaps you can read the midpoint picture (but remember that the Nep/Pluto duo is also a significator of the Robber Baron class, of oil cartels, and of mystical cults, among other things.)
8th cusp of Shared Resources, Credit, Debt, Insurance, etc...11Sag06, is the position of Dec 30, 1999's Great Conjunction of Pluto and Chiron, the plutocracy pair. I'll not go on about them again because both readers of this blog have 'heard' it before and before that..."A Flag Turns Into An Eagle That Crows." The current financial crisis is fast putting an end to the "crowing" - and pride comes before a fall as America begins retracting.
So, the man handling baggage is...
Biden? McCain? Obama? Bush? Any, some, or all could apply. I've heard that Palin will be attacking Obama, while Biden will focus on McCain, and I assume, on Bush and his disasterous policies which have decimated our nation.
Of course if You, lone reader, have snooped around my posts before this, you may know that I blame them all: Congress no less than Bush, Bush Sr, Clinton, Cheney, Rodham-Clinton, Gore, Reagan, Nixon, Ford, Carter, and I never forget to toss in Rove...the list is almost endless. Why, there's...
Delay, Hastert, Gingrich, Reid, Pelosi...etc etc etc. One can grow gray around the muzzle trying to give a complete list of miscreants, varmints, bandits, thieves, and charlatans infesting the DC I love, my former stomping grounds - and I don't take any of this lightly though sometimes I may jest to keep from crying for America.
You know, I've been whining about this stuff for years and only now that things are too bad to be ignored are a majority taking notice - not of me, a mere gnat crying in cyberland for her country, but the dire problems themselves...now that scams and frauds are affecting so many people in the pocketbook.
So there will be a flavor tonight of "a sense of real problems" to this debate. But are any of 2008's candidates serious about actually repairing them in the way they actually need to be repaired?
Or will Politics, that organized system of hatreds, once again pilfer the pie from America's windowsill?

~:~Well, publishing the 8:00 pm CDT version of tonight's debate chart can't make up for this morning's gaffe but perhaps it will help.
I only hope the chart is correctly calculated this time...if not, some wayward astrologer who stumbles upon SO'W...please pipe up!! You know you don't have to be dumbleheaded to be me, but it definitely helps.
It's 15 minutes to showtime...better mosey!
