IMPEACH Campaign 9.1.06 noon

Between my ongoing ISP problems, Ernesto-related storms, and the overload of Blogger that may be occurring today near noon, I'm racing to post this chart of the White House at zero hour--if it comes off.

As websites and blogs across the nation (and beyond?) paricipate in the IMPEACH blackout of their first pages, what's going on at George W. Bush's White House?

Enlarge chart to read my chicken scratches for the non-astrology speaker among you--the two of you really should get together more often...but on to the chart:

We see Jupiter in spying Scorpio Rising, therefore Angular and active, at the "Telephone linemen at work" degree. I'm sure they are. (Of course, any of this is operable by self or by others and so must be considered on many levels in our dualistic world.)

Two midpoint pictures of note emerge:

At the top of the chart, MC or Aspiration/Career Point, we see:

Venus/Saturn = Mc: urge to seek solitude; inhibited desires.

Sun/Mercury = Bush natal Mars: agitated thinking; upsets and quarrels; thinking critically; the will to fight; nervous drive.

Neptune at the "A man unmasked" degree is at the Ic/Foundation Point, and asteroid, Hera, is conjunct Descendant (Others; Partnerships; the Public), keywords: keeping tabs or bringing to account (on account of he sux.)

SN, a separative, unconscious point, is conjunct warring Mars--they were close on 9/11/01 and usually have to do with war, but also with unconscious motivations and actions. Kinda describes the "stay the course" trait of this administration...but if your actions aren't giving the results you want, you're bashing your head against a brick wall, aren't you? Irrational will isn't strength, as I've said before about this man.

Also, this tr Mars has recently crossed Bush's secondary progressed Ascendant (23Vir03), and SN will conjunct this sec Asc in Novemeber ("remember, remember...")
and sooner, if you use Mean Node--I'm using True. This is not a good place for Bush to be operating from, and old mistakes will continue to be made--unless he's prevented.

And in his sec chart there is sec Moon conjunct Ic, which I've posted on before, which usually means change in the residence and possibly the career (please!)
Sec Moon "23Sag": "Immigrants entering a new country." Hmm-m-m.

Sec Uranus/NN (association with unusual, reformist groups) has been at sec Mc for a while now, still in orb today:

Uranus/NN = Mc: the desire to bring joint plans to fruition.

We know.

All in all, there is much agitation at the White House today, and perhaps the IMPEACH Campaign figures little in the important dilemmas of his day. Chart-ruler Mars makes no applying aspects in the chart with the except of a nagging semi-square to its Ascendant. The Mars/Pluto square is separating, but still in orb and so is unconscious. Separating sqaure = crisis in consciousness. Will the Campaign finally get through to his noggin that no one approves of his lousy residency?

Back again, transit-wise, we have a T-square between Saturn/Neptune (loss; renunciation; suffering) pointing at Jupiter = very upset with the ways of the world; losing the will to fight; egoism; sensitivity;

and another T-square:

Mars/NN = Pluto: violent or enforced separation; performance of a joint record achievement (hope that's the Campaign!)

There's more to say, but I fret that Blogger will be inundated as I try to publish, so let me hurry and say that I'm participating in the IMPEACH Campaign as best I can considering my tech-challenged brain, my current computer problems, and possible Blogger outage upcoming.

This chart is the least I can do for the cause.

lying with impunity

Seems Rummy and his friends think they're the only ones entitled to do that.

He lies awake at night fretting over the enemy's clever manipulation of media--not because of the body count in Iraq, aka the notches on his gun. So that must be the point--about 3 am--when Rummy turns to impunity and says, remind me to call Karen Hughes about that medal she's expecting.

"The enemy" good at media manipulation--is he referring to the jihadist kind, or to the bleeding-heart liberal bloggers? Those who expect and demand truth from their governments--those bloggers? The ones who are vastly disappointed in the 'watchdog press' that Rummy apparently let out with the cat around 3 am?

Rumsfeld apparently doesn't know that I, for one, hold him and his 1% gang responsible for taking us to war with spin instead of truth--at a time when we needed upright actions and integrity, we got this crew of crime bosses, energy barons, dice rollers, and propagandists.

He doesn't sleep at night...for all the wrong reasons.

This from LegitGov:

WHEN IN DOUBT, ATTACK THE MEDIA: The other aspect of the latest push is to attack media coverage. The coverage isn't negative because things are going badly, it's because the press is being duped by terrorists. On Monday, Donald Rumsfeld said "he is deeply troubled by the success of terrorist groups in 'manipulating the media' to influence Westerners." Rumsfeld has a new strategy to get more positive coverage: buy it. The Department of Defense is "put out for bid a two-year, $20 million public relations contract that calls for extensive monitoring of U.S. and Middle Eastern media in an effort to promote more positive coverage of news from Iraq." According to a public relations professional, "They want it [news] to be received by audiences as it is transmitted [by them], but they don't like how it turns out. "The 12-18 person team would monitor the news and "propose four to eight public relations events per month, such as speeches or news conferences, including 'preparation of likely questions and suggested answers, themes and messages as well as background, talking points.'"

Raw Story


Here's my earlier post of today:

Mr. Bush recently has increasingly emphasized that if the U.S. withdraws from Iraq, the "enemy will follow us home," as he said at a fund-raiser for former football star Lynn Swann's Pennsylvania gubernatorial campaign.

Yet the greatest enemy in our measly 230-year history is already among us and occupying the White House and the Pentagon. We could've turned the puppy away a few years ago--beginning with Jimmy Carter's residency, but we didn't--we had no clue what was on their agenda.

Now we have a flea-infested kennel of rottweilers bedeviling us.

The rottweiliers are playing poker with our lives and futures while Iran plays chess. Rummy is disturbed at how smart the enemy is and I'm disturbed at how dumb he and his fellow litter mates are. Hubris has its own particular streak of stupidity, it seems. With their "regime change" mantra, they pretend not to notice that it is their regime which needs changing most. "New fascism" is the same old same old, Rummy, and you should know.

Then there's greedy imperialism from our robber barons being revealed in Bloomberg.com 's article, "Oil Company CEO Pay Averaged $32.7 Million in 2005, Study Says"...does that make you want to buy another SUV? I think not.

Ah, November--how I wish it would make a difference. Find a non-professional politician to vote for if you can, and insist upon term limits, would be my best advice for America--and check the membership roster of the Trilateral Commission before you vote--if you don't, it'll be new boss same as the old. From Carter to Clinton to to Pappy Bush to Volcker and Cheney to Gore--they wear different masks, but have the same masters...including some of our CEOs and media muckity mucks.

Talk about being sold out--the scale is so mindboggling (and long-in-planning) that average citizens prefer to ignore it--and their own complicity points the leash at their muzzles, fleas and all.

On TV now: Alabama Pastor Dwayne Blue was arrested for praying too loud at a revival. This news from the "700 Club"--funny how Robertson puts this bit on his program without mentioning that it's the Bush police state doing the arresting.
And don't fret--I turned on the tv and it was on the channel for this program--it's like listening to Rush in my car--the signal only picks up there so I spy and marvel at his techniques while driving!

Thurs UPDATE: Comair is offering grieving families who lost a loved one in Sunday's crash $25,000--cheap at the price, but some families may sue. Would you? Feds Say Air Controller Slept 2 Hours so that would just about cover it, right?

Tuesday UPDATE: Surviving pilot, James Polehinke is still in critical condition with a broken pelvis and punctured lungs. There are questions waiting to be answered about his wrong turn to an unlighted runway...odd because this Surviving Pilot Had Clean Flying Record .

UPDATE 8.28: As the misery in Kentucky continues, Cause of Deadly Comair Crash Probed and it seems that yesterday's "Intoxicated birds fly around in dizzying attempts" comment--see below--sadly applies.

And on another note--or is it?--this heads-up from Certified AstroCartographer Jerolyn Janssen sending SO'W a link concerning the mysterious suicides connected to US spy-by-cell-phone monkey business and the 26 CIA agents, Egyptian cleric Abu Omar, and other tacky meddlings of our great nation at dailykos .

Thanks, Jerolyn!


From Sunday 8.27:

On tv they've just reported that Flight 5191 took off from the "wrong runway."

Daytime, light rain, no lightening (they couldn't blame lightening), and experienced pilots...duh and puh.

Pilot-wise, the squirrelliest thing in the chart for a couple minutes before the crash (6:07 am) is the "Intoxicated birds fly around in dizzying attempts" degree rising...which could indicate the pilots' confusion at what transpired just after take-off rather than anyone's alchol or drug use. But we'll see what they say about that as the story plays out.

The current Venus-Saturn conjunction (17-18 leo) was rising, btw. 18 Leo was Venus' position on 9/11/01, and is the Sun-Moon degree of the 'Mother of All Eclipses' of August 11, 1999--when the world's real troubles began...and you remember that Nostradamus titled this eclipse the "King of Terror" Eclipse about five hundred years ago. (There may be a connection to his prediction on this solar eclipse and to financial disruptions due to the translation of the ancient French.)

So Venus triggered the 8/11/99 Eclipse degree and set it off on 9/11/01. This degree is forever sensitized by this powerful Eclipse and will be transited by Saturn in the first half of September upcoming--and Saturn is, in fact, within orb of this degree--now.

17-18 Leo happens to be the natal Ascendant for Iran and for Syria's national charts, and is resonating mightily with Bush's natal chart as Saturn continues bowling through his First House planets...and Neptune is sojourning opposite Saturn at the Unmasking Degree ("A man unmasked") sitting upon Bush's n Descendant of Other People/Partnerships/the Public/Open Enemies. He's seeing them in a murky fashion, as many people noticed when he invaded Iraq...the so-called "Cakewalk."

After studying this morning's chart for Lexington, KY--along with certain other charts--I must admit that their "wrong runway" explanation is a surprise. And how quickly they pronounce it--after saying they would wait for more investigation.

A loud explosion, plane crashes, and bursts into a ball of flames...someone let me know if you hear the names from the passenger list...Saturn in Leo = loss, restriction, or control of leaders (Leo.)

It should be 50 - 3 crew = 47 - 1 pilot onboard, so 46 names, unless I've counted incorrectly. Or will the total be morphed into 45 or less as a name or names are not divulged?

Seems to me they've been slick at putting out the "wrong/short runway" theory early--this morning there was an able 'set-up' by Comair's president and it was promoted enthusiastically by tv reporters--now it's been "confirmed"...unless that story changes, too.

Chart-wise, it looks as if Someone sent Someone a message this morning with the crash of Flight 5191, if my worst intuitions about the chart's indications are correct. Pilot error would be preferrable--if anything could be--to what I'm thinking, I assure you.

And as I've written before in a heartfelt manner on this blog--sometimes you just want to be wrong.

Hank Paulson

Henry "Hank" Paulson, CEO of Goldman Sachs, and now US Secretary of the Treasury was born in Palm Beach, Florida on March 28, 1946 (same year as the President.)

With his birth time unknown, I have set this chart for Sunrise and in looking at the 24-hour period on this date, the Moon remained in Aquarius...so we have a Sun Aries-Moon Aquarius blend for Secretary Paulson.

As the anarchist with elitist tendencies, we find that the Sun Aries-Moon AQ personality is a sharp analyst with a self-centeredness that can still have a deep capacity for true friendship and an interest in others' needs...a fair amount of social concern may be evident, and relationships and intellectual companionship are considered very important.

Having the gift of gab is one of the many strengths of this combo, as is a razor-sharp mind with broad interests which underscores an ability to see the big picture. With a high opinion of its own genius, this blend is correct in its self-assessment, and its inspirational ability is...well...inspirational.

Secretary Paulson has a deep desire to make his mark upon the world and his natural enthusiasm will aid him in his quest along with a large measure of personal charisma. Why, he's plum congenial when he wants to be!

This is a progressive fellow, and a "great improver" who works well with others as long as he's the one in charge. Original, inventive, and non-conformist, we see here "the maverick"--emphasized by mavericky Jupiter Rx, conjunct mavericky Chiron Rx. He's quite the revolutionary, in fact.

Greatest Weaknesses: over-rational approach to life and to people; impatience with details and dull routines; selfish altruism that will sacrifice others for a social vision.

Image for Integration: A gallant crusader turns his sword into a computer chip and broadcasts New Age philosophy. ('Sun Sign-Moon Sign' by Chas & Suzy Harvey.)

(That last sounds worrisome--just what we don't need more of, imho...New Age, New Order, or whatever. But we know the world banking system is the key, don't we? I'm looking at YOU, August Review !)


Why would Hank Paulson lower himself from the heights of G-Sachs to being a mere head of the US Treasury? they asked at this nomination (May 30, 2006.)

With his reformist tendencies, this maverick is right up Bush and Cheney's alley, my friend, with the possible exception of his reputed 'devout' Christian Science beliefs--and really, hasn't 'devout' become these days a euphemism for 'fanatic' of all stripes and sects?

And since anarchist tendencies rule the day in this White House--in spite of all common sense--Mr. Paulson probably fits right in with the 1% crowd infesting the Oval Office. He could probably run it without them from the sound of this blend's genius and talents.

So if his quirkiness can be held in check well enough to keep him from enthusiastically jumping on sofas like a monkey, perhaps his financial expertise will accrue to the common good while simultaneously lining the pockets of the friends he holds so dear. Or perhaps the Super Brain in Brussels is calling his master's name.

Not Your Father's Pluto Anymore

Does the demotion of Pluto astronomically affect Astrology's use of Pluto?

Read Jeffrey Kishner's assessment at Lunar Tunes for a great explanation of what's up with the new (and improved?) Pluto. There you'll find a link to Lynn Hayes' excellent analysis on the subject, too.

Here at SO'W, there's concern over the synchronicity of Pluto's current demotion--which has admittedly been in the ointment for some time--and Pluto's approach to the 26-27 Sagittarius degree area of the zodiac...aka Galactic Center. Is the GC our galaxy's bellybutton? Will Pluto get the lint out?

The Galactic Center is a vortex or drain where energy is sucked into nothingness, and we always associate Pluto astrologically to the deepest power, violence, explosions, primal energy...the darker elements of life.

As transiting Pluto reaches Galactic Center beginning in December 2006, and off and on through 2007, we will be hearing more of these dark issues. Does Pluto's demotion relate synchronistically to his reaching the vortex? Will he 'go dark' in fact as well as in scientists' minds and the collective's consciousness? He is, as we know, associated archetypally with depth psychology and the Un-conscious.

The recent announcement by scientists that, yes, there really IS dark matter--and that they don't know what the hay it is--is part of this conversation especially since Pluto has an orb of influence of 5 degrees and so has been in approach to the GC for some time. He's a slow-mover, that Pluto of the invisible helmet...a very interesting fellow.

Is Pluto part of a Neptunian system? This reluctant astrologer suspects so.

And it wouldn't surprise me at all if you wished to visit Joni Patry's GalacticCenter.org for more info on our new, re-tooled Pluto. Helmet may be required!

you stupid stupid glitch

Bush's foul-up of the Medicare-Medicaid prescription plan continues with many yucks as Medicare Erroneously Pays Patients $50M . The "erroneous" payments were mailed last week with a second letter this week asking for the money back.

It also contained assurances that the first letter was erroneous in stating that recipients would no longer have their premiums deducted from their SS checks. Not true, says letter #2!

Mark McClellan who "oversees" (perhaps he needs new glasses?) the Centers for Medicaid and Medicare Services, says the letter recipients need to know TWO things:

1. send the money back
2. their Rx drug coverage will continue..."there's no disruption at all," says Mark markedly.

Now Someone had to write the mistaken letter in the first place, so how did those words get put together in such "erroneous" sentences...by GOP gremlins?

Officials caught the 'glitch' AFTER the letters were sent out last week and it makes you wonder--are they trying to sabotage by incompetence again? You know, like ineptly responding to a massive hurricane to further undermine FEMA --after you've glopped it in with HoSec, poorly staffed it, and underfunded what you don't want to fund in the first place? "The private sector did a better job" was one of the lessons we were meant to embrace after Katrina.

This week's letter has apologies, of course, but what under par senior will understand without much confusion and distress?

And the cat toys with mouse once again as the DISRUPTION of our nation continues--personified by George W. Bush, and aided in his reformist activities by the "superb" job of Mark McClellan.
