The burning bush of Bush: 8 Leo

There is a book, The 360 Degrees of the Zodiac, by Adriano Carelli, which was found for me by Junebug Books a couple of years back.

It was published by the AFA, and is somewhat unusual. Similar to the Sabian Symbol degrees, it gives most degrees a word picture, although some have only descriptions, and its references to ancient times I find most enlightening. If it has a downside (besides some quaint turns of phrase), it is that the degree structure isn't really there--the meaning of "1 Aries" isn't particularly related to that of "1 Libra", etc.

It reminds me the most of the empirically-obtained degree info in DeVore's Encyclopedia actually.

The info it gives can be especially applicable, and so I give here 3 of Carelli's interpretations for George Bush's natal ASC--"8 Leo"--his nibs himself, and for "9-10 Leo" as they relate to his natal Mercury--and these two degrees will also relate to the natal Mercury of the Republican Party:

"8 Leo": 'The burning bush'...In a highly spiritual horoscope this degree's influence will endow the native with the power of heavenly fire surging forth with ardor unquenchable, unsullied, and all-consuming. Its light will be hidden from the sight of the unworthy and might even stay invisible to most eyes or escape notice altogether. In the bush blazing with unearthly flame, much-too-human beings will fail to see the light of the Absolute and will be alive only to the fact that the thorns in the bush sting anyone attempting to violate its mystery.

...fieriness along with reserve; aims sublime yet secret; a nature flashing with hope; ...constantly on the defensive, as the thorns and the flames in the bush clearly imply.

On the contrary, should the horoscope as a whole point to a lustful nature, the Lion's 8th degree would shift to its opposite polarity and, instead of a divine imprint, give it a luciferic bent. The burning bush will thus change into the lunar devilish image of Cain and the thorns.

Then an unquenchable passion, impure yet devoid of hidden motives and mental reservations, will slowly and steadily eat up the whole being, body and soul. The fire might not die out before before having wasted the mind to its innermost reserves and burnt out the organism to its last shred.

Whether heavenward or earthbound, such a mind will be ruled by instinct rather than reason.

"9 Leo": 'A great show of fireworks. Rockets, bombs, and *tourbillions unfold their dazzling pattern in the sky'...The native's talk will sound like a show of fireworks.
The positive side of this influx is its utter distinction and refinement. The native is keenly aware of his own worth, has self-respect and commands respect from others; has sincerity, grandeur and elegance.

Overdone and disfigured, all these virtues might present themselves in the shape of defects or even of vices. We shall then meet a vain haughtiness, as contemptible as full of contempt, an antisocial and destructive character, apt to burst into fits of rage.

There will be vain self-ostentation, a misplaced fastidiousness, a slash of dazzling extravagance, a splurge of rank pageantry devoid of any inner foundations. In other words, a lot of money will go up in smoke; the permanent will be sacrificed to the transitory, the useful to the pleasant, and substance to appearance.

The virtue of sincerity will disappear and the nastiest surprise might be expected. The native seems, however, to have luck on his side, and he might travel to places very far away.

"10 Leo": 'Death, holding the scythe'...Ananke! In a **previous life the native has taken someone's life in cold blood, but not for selfish purposes. Therefore he is either an instrument of fate, or its victim. Whether good or bad, such a man is destined to destroy, not to create.

In extremely fortunate horoscopes the native is an indomitable being. No one can oppose his cunning and his cool determination. He can bide his time, but will not argue or listen to objections when he has made up his mind to act. Nothing equals his timeliness, nothing can shake his deliberation.

You might ward him off for a while but never finally thwart his plans, as he simply will lie in wait for a better opportunity to strike again, this time more unpredictably and more decidely than before.

If he is good (which is not excluded even side by side with the ruthless will power we credit him with) he will extend his kindness and hospitality even to the undeserving. If he is bad, nothing will limit his capacity for evil; no one will deserve pity in his eyes, no power on earth will be able to ward off his murderous hand.

Well, I feel as if I know the burning Bush better, I just wish he weren't infesting the Oval Office.

He's decidedly NOT the fella who should be tinkering under the hood of the US Constitution either. Let's keep this grease monkey OUT of it, shall we?


*Not sure what 'tourbillions' are or were, but it sounds like the billion$ Bush has sent up in smoke with the rest squirreled away somewhere in his private hidey hole.


UPDATE 11.11.06: is this the Bush family's new secret hidey hole?

They've purchased appr 100,000 acres of land in Northern Paraguay near the new US military installment, the Mariscal Estigarribia Air Base. George and Laura's neighbor will be Sun Myung Moon whose property "sits astride" the largest water aquifer in Latin America, the Guarani Aquifer. Is he making escape plans in case he's brought up on war criminal charges? Will his accusers be part of the escape plans? Do "the elite" protect their own? Do monkeys live in the jungle?


**Where some will see 'previous lives' I see heredity, DNA, and Unconscious behavior.

"Gerry Mander" by Jude Cowell (c) 2006

Young Gerry Mander went to Congress 1994
when Gerry Mander got his way the Dems were out the door.
Re-draw the maps and shove the bills, we'll win it all, y'see
for I am Gerry Mander of the greedy GOP.

Let's contract with America to throw sand in her eyes
and outsource jobs for CEOs to carry off the prize.
With oily wars and phones to tap we'll raid the treasury
to keep the cash-cow flowing toward the greedy GOP.

Has Gerry found his way around the ethics on the Hill
while letting all the lobbyists write every single bill?
Our rights, our laws, our Constitution just a memory
to grand ole Gerry Mander of the greedy GOP.

Young Gerry's gotten older for it's now 2006
he's helped a few casinos with his gaudy bag o'tricks.
In '94 he raised our hopes and vowed transparency
but now he's just a cipher of the greedy GOP.

2008 approaches and more fraud is in the wings
he speaks of immigration and a thousand other things
except the one we need to hear that our election's free
from any interference from the greedy GOP.

Sun 2 Chiron + Chiron 2 Sun: Thomas Paine


On Saturday, May 13, a rather curious double transit transpires involving the natal chart of Thomas Paine: tr Sun to Chiron just when tr Chiron conjuncts natal Sun!

Amazingly, transit Sun 22Tau52 = natal Chiron 22Tau52, and tr Chiron 9AQ46 = natal Sun 9Aq43, 10th house of public reputation/honor (the wider world) while Sun to Chiron is in the behind-the-scenes 12th house of karma--where secret deals are made.

(Go forward in time: see this bi-wheel chart here.)

First we may wish to consider the significance of the Sun/Chiron combination:

Chiron connecting to any planet "Chiroticizes" it and pushes or forces the planet's energies to new levels of awareness of its destiny. The Sun is related to destiny and purpose, so this particular connection is very important in any chart.

The situation is quincunxial in nature: that is, it signifies a special life purpose which involves what is usually an impossible adjustment which must be made--the "square peg in the round hole" feeling with back-against-the-wall issues which are crisis-ridden and often dire.

And since America is in dire straits in so many ways, this double emphasis occurring in one of our Founding Fathers' charts may be instructive concerning our circumstances, I'm thinkin'. Let's see if that is so...

As Chiron relates to the synchronicity principle as an acausal state (it cannot be explained on the physical level) we'll check out the Sabian Symbols for the various affected degrees, and we'll note that natal Chiron is, in fact, spot-on the Jupiter-Saturn conjunction of May 28, 2000. This indicates that something about this double transit relates to that time and to the Jup-Sat cycle in general (now squaring off again--crisis stage), for be-here-now Chiron indicates an intersection of past with future...

And so Chiron transits point out when the archetypal nature of an experience can suddenly reveal itself. There is frequently an AHA! reaction--a peak experience described by the contact of Chiron to a natal planet with accompanying insights pertaining to the unfolding of a life-changing event--even "unfinished business from the past"!

Now I know Tom Paine died lonely and discredited because of his religious views (Age of Reason), but I think we in 2006 can forgive him that esp when you consider his invaluable work on behalf of American independence and his uplifting of the common good. And it is the common good which is in such short supply as the US military industrial complex continues its insidious coup of our formerly free nation and of our government.

The cycle of Chiron also relates to woundings, awakenings, and realizations of how our life commitments seek to manifest in the outer world--and with Old Tom being long-gone, it seems it is up to us to carry on his work on America's behalf. His wounds--which are also gifts--are on display, thanks to astrology.

Particularly, the contact of Chiron to Sun shows where there is a strong sense of destiny unfolding, and it seems obvious to me, if I have explained myself with any amount of clarity or tact here--that this relates to our nation this Very Day.

Using both the 9/10 AQ and the 22/23 Taurus degrees in the Jones version (MEJ), and in the Rudhyar (DR), with one interpretation amplifying the other:

(MEJ) Chiron-Sun "9AQ": "A flag turned into an eagle that crows"> DRAMATIZATION...
The loyalties of human beings are the foundation of any possible society, and any individual prospers as he springs to action in their defense.

Pos: accomplishment through utter self-dedication; Neg: vindictive pride.

(DR) "9AQ": Keynote> The dynamic incorporation of new social values in individuals who exemplify the spiritual potential and greatest significance of these values.

All that is Implied here is the vitalization of a powerful symbol, and its embodiment in a living reality, i.e. in a person able to fly in consciousness to the highest spiritual realm. The archetype is given a living substance and wings. The Image has become Power.

To "see" the new archetype, to perceive the new standard of value with one's mind is not enough. The seer must become the doer. The impersonal is dynamized and brought into focus. We have here the ACTING OUT of the vision. >><<

(MEJ) "10AQ": "A popularity that proves ephemeral"> ...the swing of the pendulum between an endorsement and a repudiation of (an individual's) efforts by his social group....A courageous self-confidence and an unflagging faith are worthy of recognition, but only in their moment of significance. APPROBATION...

Pos: a gift for bringing the issues of life to a dramatic consummation at a time of crisis; Neg: prodigal opportunism.

(DR) "10AQ": "A man who had for a time become the embodiment of a popular ideal is made to realize that as a person he is not this ideal"> Keynote: The need to deal with human beings as persons rather than as screens upon which one projects one's dream and ideal.

...the relationship between *mental-spiritual vision and living reality, between persons and the ideal they appear to incarnate. The "Star" on the movie screen is not the actual person. What has this episode of popularity actually done to the person? It is Person vs Archetype...a critical need for SELF-EVALUATION.<<>>

MEJ: Sun-Chiron "22Tau": "White dove over troubled waters"> GUIDANCE...

Pos: a skillful reconciliation of difficulties in the light of over-all potentials;
Neg: an ineffectiveness of mind through habitual woolgathering.

DR: "22Tau": Keynote: The spiritual inspiration that comes to the individual in the overcoming of crisis. (Remember Paine's The Crisis--a series of articles written during the Revolution...from 1776-1783.)

This Symbol refers to the rhythm of a cosmic, God-ordained cycle that reveals a need to face crisis in the right spirit--in complete obedience to God's promptings--in
order to receive a new Dispensation.

MEJ: "23Tau": "A jewellery shop filled with valuable gems"> PRESERVATION...

Pos: a happy gift for shaping all vision to larger dimensions and directing all aspiration to more than trivial ends; Neg: a greediness which betrays the soul with trifles.

DR: "23Tau": Keynote: The social confirmation of natural excellence.

With this Symbol we are concerned with the social process which brings about a CERTIFICATION OF PERSONAL WORTH.<<>>

>And the midpoint picture created with Jupiter/Saturn = Sun: taking destiny into one's own hands; major changes according to plan; becoming gripped by the status quo if no plans have been made, and having to make the best of it. <<>>

Well, just as Chiron travels between the inner (Saturn) and the outer (Uranus) realms and unites them, so birds travel between earth and heaven as they migrate across the skies.

And synchronistically enough, Saturday also happens to be International Migratory Bird Day!

With Thomas Paine's past loss of the public's good will due to his promotion of reason above spirit, is it time to re-evaluate the still-dripping wound caused by the Reason vs Religion Split from which mankind still suffers?

Is it possible this Split is a false argument? Shouldn't one support the other if rightly understood?

Many people believe this wound is the basis of our current ills (along with greed and avarice, of course...let's not forget Washington's favorite past times...and that of a few other people you and I could name.)

There is also tr Pluto (power) opposing natal Neptune (ideals; dreams) which indicates ruling powers being challenged by those who hold conflicting ideals. So if you haven't noticed that neocon war hawks are in process of undermining America's original ideals...hello? Anybody there?!

And if you consider Saturday's double transits of Sun to Chiron/Chiron to Sun for our Tom, it could be realization time that to reach higher realms is a possibility for those who make the honest effort and open themselves to the spiritual energies which are all around us like doves over troubled waters.

Cheney and 9/11



As I'm reading more and more about theories on Dick Cheney's possible culpability in orchestrating the attacks of 9/11/01, I'm posting on his secondary progressed chart (the physical plane) for the day and the hour.

Using his birth location (Lincoln, NE) to progress his natal chart, there results a major picture at the top of the chart...the MC/Aspiration/WHY Point of the chart--Pluto (power; control; manipulation; coping ability; transformation; death; cataclysms; volcanic explosions) and Chiron (the wounded or the wound; the maverick; blindspot; catalyst; shaman; initiations) pointing to the Mc-->Pluto/Chiron = Mc.

The combo of Pluto/Chiron = plutocracy; a reversion to primitivism; racism; revolutionary zeal; power; self-mastery; class warfare; oppression; primal violence; imperialism; corporatism; fascism; militarism; disenfranchisement. (Plus, other isms.)

And on 9/11/01? Pluto 12Sag38, Chiron 23Sag03, and their midpoint, Plu/Chiron = natal Mars 17Sag46 of VP Cheney! Yep, that's right--tr Pluto and Chiron lined right up with Cheney's planet of initiative, energy, and action--Mars, aka the god of WAR...the Plutocracy Duo pointing directly at Dick's Mars, ya might say...Mars, the instigator, the actor, the fighter and his Sec Pluto/Chiron at Aspiration/Goal Point.

And the HOW? Point of this chart, the IC or Foundation Point is conj his Sec Mars and US natal and Sec Pluto. If he did it, that's how he did it - secret hand, secret power, US military power, you name it, he had control (Pluto) of it. More on his Sec Mars just below.

Robert Bowman, former head of the "Star Wars" project, and who is running for Congress, FL, 5th district, is making waves and calling Cheney the "architect of 9/11"...and as you've heard by now, Cheney was "playing" "air drills" that morning with his finger on the fantasy button - did it slide off onto the reality button? I've often wondered this myself since 2001. Today's post is just a sampling of the situation astrologically.

(UPDATE 9.17.06: most sources now say that Cheney was in DC on 9/11/01 but the chart and these comments apply for his progressions which are calclated based on his natal chart. Some astrologers change to wherever a person is located when progressing a chart, but here I do not.)

Bowman says Cheney's "drills" were a "cover" so that the FAA and NORAD didn't know what was real or false as the planes approached their targets. And while he may be correct, I'm not so quick to give these governmental agencies such easy "dazed and confused" passes on this "cover." Wouldn't put it past the VP, but I wouldn't put it past the agencies either.

Back to his progr'd chart:

At the Foundation/Ic Point, lurks violent instigator, Mars, at "30Cap", the "A secret meeting of men responsible for executive decisions in world affairs" degree:

EXECUTIVE POWER...Keynote: The power to assume responsibility for crucial choices arrived at after mature dicussions with those who share this power.

This degree speaks of an "occult hierarchy", secret committees in the White House, and the decisions of a supreme Council of quasi-divine beings. And, of course, Capricorn is the sign of business, politics, and law. (Note: This Mars is now opposite Pluto in his sec chart 2006 which may lead to more uncovering of his actions on 9/11...his use or misuse of power, bwo zealous Mars/Pluto.)

8th cusp (transformations; death; legacies; insurance; managing others' resources, etc) conj Cheney's sec Jup/Uranus midpoint; Jup/Uranus is the "lucky break; opportunity" combo, and he certainly had that. Florida's 'hanging chads' and the SCOTUS helped a lot.

The 8th cusp also happens to be at the degree of the last conjunction of Jupiter and Saturn, the societal combo. Jupiter is used to represent the R Party and Saturn, the Ds. I have stated here and elsewhere, that their conj of May 28, 2000 describes the official start of our "2-party system" becoming one big happy "party"...or words to that effect. Not that they weren't united in purpose before! But a new cycle of cooperation began as Bush became the "man of the hour" - the choice of globalist puppetmasters everywhere.

(Note: the next exact square between Jupiter and Saturn: legislative stalemates; Reps vs Dems; economic sluggishness--is June 22; last square is Oct 25...squares being the blockage/obstacle/crisis stage of a cycle.)

The 12th cusp--the house of self-undoing; karma; large institutions; behind-the-scenes...has Cheney's Neptune/NN duo upon it...this "World Point" of 00Lib44 is same as the USA's natal Mc degree, btw, from the Sibley Chart>>July 4, 1776, 5:10 pm LMT.

Nep/NN = lack of community spirit (no kiddin'); deceit used with others; anti-social behavior; wrong ideas about others; peculiar conduct in communal life; secret associations with others interested in the paranormal (as in "quasi-divine beings"?)

So we have Neptune's deceit with NN's connection to the Public...and with a fated or karmic flavor. (Remember that "karmic" feeling in the air along with the dust settling and the sad funerals? Many people remarked upon it in the months after 9/11.)

His Sec Mercury (travel, esp air travel; thinking; communications) at 14Pis50, is conjunct Fixed Star, Achernar...Keywords: 'risk of rapid endings; crises'...and in the 5th house of speculation and risk-taking.

Saturn (responsibility; authority; control) at 13Tau22 is conjunct the Inaugural Ascendant (in DC, noon, Jan 20 each time) by less than one degree...which signifies the Office of the Presidency. Cheney, the 'secret president.'

"13Tau"> "A porter carrying heavy baggage"...Keynote: Self-mobilization for social advantage...COMPULSION FOR GAIN.

Moon is in the 8th house, "5Gem": "A revolutionary magazine asking for action"...TO REACH BEYOND ESTABLISHED FORMS...Keynote: The explosive tendency of repressed feelings and root emotions (see Plu/Chiron above--"a reversion to primitivism"?)

Sec Moon is an oft-used timer, as you know. Wonder which magazine this could be? An association's journal perhaps? Who-who-who?

The entrepreneurial Sun Aries/Moon Gem blend:

Greatest Strengths: zest; capacity to take an idea and run with it; eye for opportunity; oomph and chutzpah; tendency to get carried away; immense dynamism; a sharp mind; a single-shot, high-velocity rifle or a hot-metal-spraying shotgun (I don't make this up!)

Greatest Weaknesses: brash impatience; insensitivity to less expressive types; unwillingness to learn from experience (Vietnam comes to mind, Dick.)

Images for Integration: A fencing master carries off the prize...Hayden's Farewell Symphony...A racing driver plays piano to relax. ('Sun Sign-Moon Sign' by Chas & Suzi Harvey.)

And last, but not least, the Sabian Symbol of his progressed Sun for 9/11/01..."11Aries":

"The ruler of a nation"> CENTRALIZATION OF POWER...

Keynote: The power resulting from the formal integration of the collective desire for order.

This deserves a quote from Dane Rudhyar, whose Sabian Symbols are being used here; his punctuation marks:

"At this stage of the cyclic process this symbol refers to the appearance of the (personal) ego as the central manifestation of a type of "order" which transcends and seeks to rule the emotional and instinctual drives of the individual person...
a desire for a larger type of integration has now emerged...(it is) social-collective and institutional.

At this ego level, laws and the restrictive power of a police force are dominant features.

Psychologically speaking, this means that the integrative principle is the limited, more or less narrow "I am" realization. It manifests itself as the personal ego exerting its will to control the reactions of the bio-psychic organism." #

Seems to me that this "I am" means "he is" - and ruthless power, control, and a new economic world order are his, and his colleagues', ultimate objectives.

Power Back in Capitol Building

"Shortly after noon" today, there was supposedly an "automatic shut off"--a tripping! of the power in the Capitol Building which has since been restored.

The story is that there was a "momentary drop in voltage due to customer operations up the line"...yeah? Sounds squirrelly to me.

The Building was kept evacuated until the cause of the outage could be determined--or a spin could be figured out.

At noon, the rising degree was 13Can27-->the n US Sun's degree, and also the n Sun of George Bush. Also rising was the midpoint between the Moon and Saturn...

Moon/Sat is the 'ambition; strategy' combo...Moon/Sat = Asc:

Acting alone and never in accord with others; one-sidedness. Moon/Sat = Sun: sobering times; feelings of enforced controls; possible separations in relationships.

The Sabian Symbol for "14Can": "A very old man facing a vast dark space to the northeast"...SANCTION>

pos: a highly effective enlistment of deeper and hidden elements of life for some momentary end;

neg: lack of purpose and utter chaos in understanding.

Pointing to the Mc--the WHY/Aspiration Point at noon is this T-square:

Mars/Plu = Mc: facing overwhelming force without power(!!); major job maneuver (?).

Wonder what was going on when the lights went out? Congress wasn't in session, and NPR is reporting that hadn't happened in "at least 28 years." (28 years would point a finger at Saturn, now Rx at 4Leo23...hanging out around Bush's n Asc.)

The Building was DARK, people...a weird sight.

Well, if a 'signal' was being sent, it's an interesting chart for more analysis, yet I must motor into the city now.

Will check back on the story and its excuses later and see if there's anything more worth mentioning from the chart!

Bush-Blair on War Path 1.31.03



A blast from the past this morning that just keeps on exploding--the sunrise chart for the day Bush made it clear he was intent on invading Iraq, according to yet another Brit memo released. (Is Blair behind this "release"...trying to distance himself from his partner in war crimes?)

Asteroid Hidalgo was rising along with the Sun and deceptive, deluded Neptune...Hidalgo's keywords, "an assertion of will over others; expecting to be in control."

The Sun/Neptune/Asc mix gives three pictures:

Sun/Nep = Asc: a sensitive show to others, either true or fabricated; a negatively inclined environment; an association with weak or sick persons. (Wonder which is which?)

Sun/Asc = Nep: hyper-sensitivity regarding others' opinions; tendency to be easily influenced or lead; damage through others; easy to anger; calumny; degradation; being duped or disregarded.

Nep/Asc = Sun: humiliation; the misfortune to be exploited or harmed.

And the Mc/Aspiration/WHY Point? "1Sag": "Grand Army of the Republic campfire"!!

Jolly day, wasn't it? And that's just for starters.

Back later with more...

UPDATE 4:07 pm:

With Neptune oriental--rising just before the Sun--we know that dreams and visionary planning were on the agenda that day, and were part of the work situation. The hope is for harmony between what is expected and what can be. Neptune represents something-other-than-what-it-seems, so when oriental, this concept is an active part of who one is.

This meeting occurred within the 4S Solar Eclipse Series, which began Mar 19, 1624.
This Series involves much anger and very strong emotional feelings concerning money and/or relationships. There is a sense of fatedness and of being caught up in relationship events beyond one's control, and the emotions may be blocked or frustrated in some way. There could be a sudden desire to end a relationship or association, and the best approach is to avoid rash action until things settle down.

Well, I've got theories about Saddam, George, and Tony which I shall not air here.
Needless to say, the bully-headed and the woolly-headed wouldn't have listened to
the above good advice if they'd heard it.

And as fate would have it, this Eclipse ("12Sag", Dec 4, 2002) occurred smack upon the USA's natal ASC (Sibley Chart, July 4, 1776, 5:10 pm LMT), bringing America into the middle of it.

"12Sag" = "A flag that turns into an eagle that crows"...ADJUSTMENT.

Pos: successful self-establishment through genuine self-expression;
Neg: idle prejudices and unsubstantiated claims (yuh.)

Turns out our cockadoodle doo should've been a cockadoodle don't. And no, you don't need an astrology chart to know that.

If you want a memory-refresher, here's the transcript of the highlights of what Bush and Blair said just after their witches' brew-up: What Bush and Blair Told the Press After Key Meeting on Iraq


3.27.06 5:25 pm est

ps: Almost forgot--the Images for the Sun AQ/Moon Cap blend for 1.31.03:

Republican Party: July 6 1854



For the Republican Party, we'll follow the same outline as in my previous post on the Dem Party, so let's look at:

1. natal (n) midpoint pictures
2. n Lunar phase
3. Secondary Progressed (sec) Lunar phase
4. sec midpoint pictures, March 2006
5. n Sun/Moon personality blend
6. sec Sun/Moon blend
7. minor progressed (minor*) midpoint pics
8. minor Sun/Moon blend (*minor = the causal, thought, mental plane--Robert Blaschke)


1. There are only two n midpoint pics from the chart you see above:

Sun/Nep = Uranus: sudden impressionability or even psychic awareness; nervous reactions for unclear reasons; relationship disputes.

Sat/NN = Venus: difficulty in expressing emotions; lack of adaptability; separations.

2. n Lunar phase = 1st quarter: crisis in action--forceful managerial activity phase.
The essential drive is the building of frameworks or scaffolding which may serve for the future objectivication of new social ideals and relationships.

There is a strong will and perhaps a feeling of self-exaltation when faced with crumbling old structures, and at times a ruthless attempt is made to consolidate the new ideal.

(Examples having this phase natally: Cromwell, Stalin, Baudelaire, de Gaulle, and Queen Elizabeth.)

3. sec Lunar phase, March 2006: Full Moon/culmination phase, exact May 12, 2005 (using DC here, but with natal location it occurred two weeks earlier.)

Interesting to note that their prior Gibbous Lunation was July 3, 2001 at 23Ari13--conjunct George Bush's n Mc (Aspirations/Career Point)...

"24Ari" = "An open window and a net curtain blowing into a cornucopia."

MUNIFICENCE> pos: an irrepressible genius for capturing the richer rewards of life and providing a wider distribution for the higher realities.

neg/shadow side: a smug and petty self-importance in dispensing favors to others. (MEJ)

This Symbol refers to unmerited good fortune>> 'net' = Neptunian illusions, 'window' = opportunity, 'cornucopia' = trillions of dollars, as it turns out, and you'll notice this Lunation occurred just prior to 9/11.)

4. sec midpoints:

There are two T-squares formed in the sec chart just now (and transit Uranus will be triggering it at the end of March, including during the Solar Eclipse of March 29. >Tr Uranus returns to sec Neptune 13Pis+ in Aug, 2006, and Jan, 2007. And tr Uran to Nep = exploring individuation through creativity, imagination, or speculation; possible use of underhanded means to do the job)...

T-squares:

Sun/Sat = Neptune: physical, emotional, or mental crisis; lack of vitality; inhibitions; hopelessness; delusions in relationships.

>Sun/Sat = tr Uranus: crises within relationships; clash between the old ways vs the new; nervousness; unusual circumstances; separations; mourning.

Sat/Mc = Nep: lack of clarity; peculiar and depressing circumstances; disappointments; one's position is vague; feeling fearful.

>Sat/Mc = tr Uranus: sudden crisis on the job or in the family; new ways of doing
things; desire to obtain one's objectives at all costs; emotional shock or upheaval; intensity.

Midpoints:

Sun/Ven = Mc: the art-lover; individual inclinations.

Sun/Ura = Asc: easily excitable; sudden experiences; new asscociations.

Sun/Nep = optimism in spite of low vitality; achieving success with little exertion.

Moon/Nep = Pluto: high sensitivity coupled with an inclination to be easily influenced.

Ven/Nep = Jupiter: rich imagination; tendency to revel in illusions.

Mars/Ura = Nep: cunning and deceit; a low, mean way of acting; desire to harm others; a person with bad intentions; rage or frenzy.

Uran/Mc = Asc: restless, hasty behavior; sudden adjustment to new circumstances; easily excitable; change that has far-reaching significance.

Nep/Ms = Jupiter: putting all one's eggs in one basket; the pretence of good fortune and happiness; gambling and speculation.

And the real stinker:

Sat/Plu = NN: the misery of the masses; suffering shared with others.

5. Images for Sun Can/Moon Scor blend:

Under a Full Moon an exorcist performs a life-giving ritual; the possession fades away and a child's life is saved...While preparing his genealogical tree, a young man discovers the lost grave of his great-great grandmother.

Greatest Weaknesses (forgot to add this for the D's...will do so asap): Defensiveness; moodiness; possessiveness; proneness to reacting with fanatical prejudice.

6. sec Sun Sag/Moon Gem, March, 2006 (and for about 6 months more):

Robin Hood as a young boy plays truant from school to go to his archery lesson, but ends up teaching his card tricks to his master. (Sounds alot like their "reverse Robin Hood" budget, doesn't it?)

Greatest Weaknesses: spreading yourselves too thin; over-analyzing things: self-absorption.

7. minor midpoints:

Sun/Asc = Jupiter: religious or social outlook; gaining confidence.

Sun/NN = Saturn: disadvantages in dealing with the public; separations.

Sun/Ven = Sat: separations; inhibitions.

Moon/Asc = Sun: seeking contacts.

Moon/Asc = Mars: conflicts with females; moodiness.

Merc/Sat = Sun: changes; separations; love of travel; incompatibility; quarrels.

Mars/Asc = Jup: good teamwork; pursuit of the same objectives.

Mars/NN = Sat: disadvantages through associations; teamwork rendered more difficult as time goes by.

Uran/NN = Moon: quick new contacts; excitability.

>>And a picture that sticks out like a sore thumb--perhaps because R-Party's n Mercury 9Leo+ is conjunct Bush's n Mercury, so both Mercurys are in process of being transited by Saturn, the planet of grim reality--is:

minor Sat/Plu = n Mercury: desire to solve difficult problems; taciturnity; morbid thoughts; depression; stark realism.

Also in their minor chart, a quindecile* (165 degrees = obsession; compulsion) has formed between Venus and Neptune. Venus = values and money, but also cooperation and collaboration in relationships; Neptune = seeking the ideal; illusions and deceptions), so:

Ven QD Nep = may be driven by idealization, illusion, and co-dependency in relationships; fantasy, escapism, addictions, and indulgences may be prominent;
CAN HAVE DIFFICULTY HANDLING FINANCIAL MATTERS. (Sorry--had to capitalize that last, esp since it's the taxpayers who are paying for politicians' wastefulness, graft, and misdirection of OUR money.)

8. Images for minor Sun Sco/Moon Leo:

A Samaritan mirrors the sunshine into the depth of a dark pit bringing hope to those who live there...A sexy superstar creates a new charity. (Hey--wait a ninute--wasn't it Hillary who mentioned the Good Samaritan being arrested under the R's new immigration legislation?)

Well, there ya go--and if you read the Democratic Party analysis below, you'll see that the Dems are in a waxing/increasing phase, while the Repubs have begun the waning/decreasing phase. But there are many days of illusion and deception still to come before they switch masks.

Our two-party system--crisis in action vs crisis in consciousness--and while they Should Be working together for the good of the nation, you see how they've been playing it lately...all they can think of is lining pockets and holding onto their--in many cases--ill-gotten power. That's Their pockets, not ours.

And so, in light of the sorriness of Washington's leadership, and in honor of the protests going on in the world today--and most esp the US Latino protests--let's listen to **Upton Sinclair's plea one more time:

>Is it altogether a Utopian dream, that once in history a ruling class might be willing to make the great surrender, and permit social change to come about without hatred, turmoil, and waste of human life?

Given the state of our nation's capital, and the misguided idealisms of our neocon, globalist-driven politicians, Mr Sinclair, apparently it IS a Utopian dream--and their Utopian dream has become our nightmare.
