So far Bush's ineptitude and culpability are affecting the outcomes of the midterm elections--it's 11:03 pm est, and Tavis Smiley says CA polls have "just closed"--so here's a SO'W post from June called The burning bush of Bush which you may find somewhat interesting if you've not come across it before, and coming from Andriano Carelli's book on degree symbolism.
Be sure to read all three degrees: 8, 9, and 10 Leo esp 10 Leo which describes a scythe pattern in the sky forming now and coming to fruition in 2007. Sounds like the scythe may be in operation for the GOP already...a turn-of-fortunes kind of harvest in play and with more to come.
And Neptune continues to hang out at the "A man unmasked" degree, in the Sabian Symbols.
11:13 pm--Tavis announces that the Dems have taken the House--Nancy Pelosi at the helm, it seems. Perhaps we'll be able to recognize our government again with checks and balances restored, I hope. America is sending a message to Washington, but she'd better get back more in return than empty rhetoric and slogans.
Sending out a BIG SO'W Congratulations to all winners tonight! Tag, you're it.

Oil Blackmail and George Bush
Today in some of his stumpy speechifying--a little on the slurred side, mind you--Bush admitted a connection between his Iraq "policy"--specifically his Iraq War misadventure--and OIL.
Is this, as an NPR commentator just intoned, an admission that his administration's energy policy is bankrupt? Bush said that if the US leaves Iraq, the terroists get the oil.
Now I would point out along with others that terroists and Mid-Eastern governments already have the oil. And I've always said that breaking up the blackmarket in oil between Saddam (and perhaps others) and certain European nations (and perhaps others) was part of the Bush-Cheney dice-rolling in their rush to invade Iraq.
If Bush is on the ropes and stuck in the mud as he's been acting recently, his admission may be the first step in his recovery toward reality (just kidding.)
Or he could be careening off the wagon...the truth of the bottle slurring out.
Either way, he's shown himself to be the big f*ck-up that 50% of the American people said he was back in 1999 and 2000.
And with only one nag in the race--named America--it's no cause for S'OW to celebrate as Bush stumbles and falls. As he goes so goes the nation.
So thanks, Andrew Sullivan and the rest of you who are johnny-come-latelys to the Bush-is-a-f*ck-up party. Sullivan says he began to doubt Bush "3 weeks in" to the Iraq War at his Mission Accomplished hubristic display. Funny, but I'm a con-prog myself--a progressive with traditional Christian values--and Bush didn't fool me at any time.
After all, the Corporatism train has been on track for years, and Chiron/Pluto will have their way, even if it kills several thousand underlings.
The divide-and-conquer "Rs vs Ds" is and has been illusory and harmful to this nation. And it's erudite, influential people like Mr.Sullivan who have enabled Bush and Co to have their way with the US Constitution, the Bill of Rights, the military industrial complex, the finances...and with the truth.
"..putting Bossy at the helm was not so smart", said Lim over at Lim's Limericks so even a limerick-writing cat coulda told ya.
But hey--join the party now that it's painfully obvious to all but the grossly gullible!
America's only hope for restoring the checks and balances that have served her so well is with tomorrow's election, and I PRAY she--or 51% of her--won't be fooled again by these self-serving, short-sighted fools...Trickster Rove's treachery notwithstanding.

midterm fever: Zell backs Perdue
Yes, it's true! Wacky Zell Miller is backing Georgia Gov. Sonny Perdue for re-election.
With well-produced tv ads, sword-wielder Zell, who fancies himself Zorro, touts Perdue against Mark Taylor. I watched their televised debate yesterday, and wasn't impressed with either candidate in the ethical department, but I can say this: if Zorro Zell is under the impression that his support can sway anyone, he's goofier than I previously thought.
Just thought I'd mention my home state elections since my ancestors moved here from VA before the Revolution (the Barnett and Crawford crowd)--my point being that I care about rubber-stamper Perdue's Republican connections to Washington and his self-enriching land deals with their reach-around legislations--and isn't it amusing that Zell still insists he's a Democrat? Can a pack have two jokers?
note: apologies if I've misspelled Sonny's name (P-U-rdue?)...it's because all his ads use "Sonny" to give him that down-home flavor. Well, at least he uses Sonny, not Sunny.
SO'W Reminder: VOTE!! bin Laden prefers Republicans--it justifies his life's work-- which is a good enough reason to VOTE them out. Rs could've caught him but they let him escape--now we have perpetual war, not justice for 9/11--is this what you want for your children? War-mongerers and deficit spenders?
And the financial situation is much worse than most of the American public knows or wants to know--but don't let the hard decisions keep you from facing the music. Yes, I know that many of the Ds are enablers and more, but they're our only hope for a better course and a New Perspective...please VOTE Nov 7.

Mercury Transit and Rx for midterm elections
TRANSIT OF MERCURY: On Wednesday, Nov. 8th, Mercury will pass directly in front of the sun. The rare transit will be visible from the Americas, Hawaii and all around the Pacific Rim. It begins at 2:12 p.m. EST (11:12 a.m. PST) and lasts for nearly five hours.
Because Mercury is so small, only a tiny fraction of the sun will be covered. So don't stare at the sun on Wednesday; it will be as blinding as ever. Instead, try to view the event through a properly-filtered solar telescope. Mercury's tiny, jet-black silhouette passing in front of solar prominences, filaments and sunspots should be a marvelous sight.
Visit Spaceweather.com for observing tips and links to live webcasts. #
Looking at the Mercury Transit chart for Nov 8, 2:12 pm, Capitol Building:
we see a rising Uranus 10Pis52 Rx = technology, Rx = recounts?; change and reform? rebellion and disruption? *Power outages, since Uranus = lightening and electricity?
ASC 11Pis30 with MC 19Sag43, transformative Pluto 25Sag08, direct in 10th house of Career and Public Status.
I'm relating this fairly rare Transit of Mercury across the Sun (leader) to the midterm elections for obvious timely reasons. And Mercury relates to paper "trails", agreements, and as such, esp since only a hapless dolt can expect smooth running from this highly contentious melee with its hackable voting machines and its win-at-all-costs participants.
North Node, with its connection to the Public (bwo the Moon) is in first house and rising, NN 23Pis56. In horary charts, NN in first house would be considered a fortunate thing!
2:12 pm: At this Moon Hour of changes, an out-of-bounds Moon is able to act of her own accord without interference from the other energies--so will the Public hold sway? Moon is also at a critical 29th degree, 29Gem41, and as you know, communicative Gemini is often of two minds, which expresses mightily our polarized population...polarized by the "divide and conquer" model of politicians everywhere.
Wherever we find Gemini we find multiplicity (many many ballots to count?) and sometimes duplicity. In our dualistic world--also signified by Gemini, sign of the Twins--energies will express, if not within ourselves, then in our outer environment.
Sounds like good times , doesn't it?
With the 29 degree Moon vibrating at high frequency and anxious to reach Cancer (home), and with 00Can00 being a World Point, the implications for the midterm elections and symbolism of Mercury (young person, as well as messenger or communication) "crossing" the Sun (leader) in Scorpio, sign of big business, secrets, hidden organizations, and The Eagle (USA), we may expect interesting developments between now and the end of the year.
And that's not even counting 2007's Saturnian Scythe which seems to be "After" Rumfeld at the moment. And perhaps that's some of the meaning of the first-time-in-our-history US natal Mars' retrograde station now in effect--since this past July--military (Mars) problems with perhaps the head Martian--Rumsfeld--being stalemated, as we're now witnessing.
Will the young people of America desert the Republican tugboat-to-nowhere but military service and perpetual war?
Plus, Monday, tomorrow, the active-duty officers' article comes out in several military journals calling for Rummy's ouster.
Now here are the Sabian Symbols for some of the pertinent degrees in the Mercury Transit chart and their shadow/unconscious/Illumination Point pictures as well...first from Marc Edmund Jones, then Dane Rudhyar's info:
(MEJ) Moon "30Gem": "Bathing beauties upon a beach"> CHARM =
pos: a special capacity for bringing the familiar desires and interests to an enduring representation of worthiness;
neg: regression to childish vanities.
(DR) "30Gem": "A parade of bathing beauties before large beach crowds">
keynote: The setting of social standards through personal excellence and competition;
keywords: The SHOW is over. Now comes the hour of decision (yep.)
Illumination Point (the opposite degree), "30Sag": "The Pope"> SANCTITY = an effective and spectacular sacrifice of self in some enduring service to the race at large;
neg: inordinate love of self-display and surrender to a lust for power (in politics? Go on!)
(DR) "30Sag": "The pope blessing the faithful">
keynote: The need to pay homage to traditional values upon which the Invisible Community of the spirit is built;
keywords: PERSONALIZED WORSHIP. It can be a blessing, or in some cases, a curse.
Mercury's Transit degree which is also the Sun's degree obviously:
(MEJ) "17Scor": "A woman the father of her own child"> NUCLEATION =
pos: an illimitable self-potentiality with effective spiritual or ideal as well as practical or everyday orientations;
neg: a characteristically anarchistic self-sufficiency.
Illumination Point: "17Tau": "A battle between the swords and the torches"> RESOLUTION =
pos: high organizational skill and an ability to bring the magic of understanding to any specific difficulty;
neg: a loss of self-competence through the conflicting compulsions of necesity and desire.
(DR) "17Tau": "A symbolical battle between "swords" and "torches">
keynote: Refusing to depend upon the past, the seeker turns warrior, fighting anew the "Great War."
keywords: This is the dharma of this stage of human evolution: a stage of POLARIZATION OF VALUES...salvation is attained through the emergent individual's readiness to face all issues as if there were only two opposed sides. #
Well, we've had gracious plenty polarization of late, but that's what the Symbols are saying...kind of reminds me of the ongoing shifting of the magnetic poles which may just be part of the global warming issue...and magnetism relates to that progressive Uranus again!

Oh SNAP! Cheney on ABC Sunday
Vice President Dick Cheney, in an interview taped for airing Sunday on ABC, conceded the war may not be popular with the public. Still, he said, "It doesn't matter in the sense that we have to continue the mission and do what we think is right.... We're not running for office. We're doing what we think is right."
WHAT THEY THINK IS RIGHT? Is that right? If they tell it, it's no lie, if you will. Puh. Antinomianism simply drips from his snarl, doesn't it?
And after speechifyin' Bush called upon God Almighty to save his biscuits, it should come as no surprise--and I know it does not--that Cheney can actually say out loud in a tv interview that it doesn't matter if the war is popular with the people who are paying for it--you know--the ones for whom Dick waged war in their name? (sic.)
A question: HOW could a war be popular with anyone but those who are not in harm's way (Dick and his family) and with those making millions and millions more from war-profiteering? (That would be his nibs again.)
Well, I'll just have to look for Dick this Sunday, on ABC. I want to hear it out of the horse's orifice.
And have you seen Tavis Smiley's interview with Scott Ritter? Seems that anyone who prefers that Bush & CO NOT BOMB Iran should vote the Rs out of office asap, aka November 7 midterms upcoming. So put on your coat, get out there and Vote...perhaps it's not too late to restore a glimmer of sanity to Washington.
Sheesh, I miss living there, for all its problems, woes, and craziness.

Say Hi and Bye to Rep Bob Ney
If he acted as promised, Bob Ney tendered his letter of resignation this afternoon to the Speaker of the House--"at 4:00 or 4:30 pm."
Using Ney's sunrise chart, born July 5, 1954, Wheeling West VA, we see his natal Sun is same as the USA's and George Bush's natal Sun within one degree. Ney has Mercury 14Can04 Rx, with Jupiter on the other side of the Sun at 9Can26--whoo! Lots of self-protective, often crabby Cancer, isn't it? Canny though...or was, until October 13 when he was forced to plead guilty to making false statements and conspiracy to commit fraud in league with Jack Abramoff.
Mercury "speaks for" his Sun in Cancer in a Cancerian (self-dramatizing, self-protective) way, so he talks and communicates like a Cancer. And with Uranus in Cancer he behaves like a Cancer. (Wonder if he likes seafood?)
He acts/desires (Mars) as an idealistic Sagittarian--this particular sunrise occurred during a Mars hour with an out-of-bounds Mars (a maverick able to act outside the other energies of his chart), emphasized by Mars being retrograde, plus, feisty Mars is at a critical, crisis-ridden 29th degree.
Mars at "30Sag": "The pope blessing the faithful." This degree can be a blessing or a curse, says Dane Rudhyar, in his An Astrological Mandala.
Ney's sentencing is set, last I heard, for January 19,'07, and he could receive up to 27 months and $500,000 in fines. Is that all for all his crookery and for selling out the public trust? These charletans in the last several years have turned "public trust" into quite the joke, haven't they?
So even with his birth time unknown, we may safely consider Mr. Ney's Sun/Moon personality blend because the Moon was in Virgo for the whole 24-hour period. So let's have at it, shall we?
Sun Can/Moon Virgo:
This water-earth blend is reflective and attentive, loyal, dutiful, yet timid. There is a yearning to be appreciated and understood but shyness may take over and a talent for analyzing others is indulged instead.
Rationalizing needs keeps them at bay, plus a certain puritannical streak may be evident. There's a clear-headed and conscientious concern for others, a refined charm, and an unflagging moral integrity (hmm-m-m...)
Family is very important and there my be a fussiness in the domestic scene. Relationships are not lightly entered, and a committed relationship brings out a loving nature.
A tendency toward self-criticism leads to anxiety and depleted confidence and there can be a narrow-minded and self-righteous clinging to rules and right procedure in an attempt to establish security and authority (a "poltician"--jc); a self-effacing attitude may be used to mask the assumed self-righteousness.
Images: A wine taster makes pointed comments, restrained accolades...A health visitor weighs an infant with tender precision...The 'perfect' mother.
If you click the chart to enlarge, you'll find Ney's Prenatal Eclipse Series (PE), 10South, 8Can10, which is about breaking out of a very negative situation where no hope or options can be seen. This series last occurred in 1990, next occurrence in 2008 (Predictive Astrology, Bernadette Brady, to be found at amazon.com)
(Enlarging will also show My Bad: I neglected to complete, Hour of___ = Mars, as stated.)
The outside chart you see is for Nov 3, 2006, 4:00 pm, Moon rising, on Capitol Hill.
Transit Saturn 24Leo07 (loss/Saturn of leaders/Leo) has been stomping upon Ney's Pluto, PLANET of power and transformation. This Saturn conjunction has transformed his power all right--Saturn bringing loss where his lessons of responsibility and realism have not been heeded properly, and so we reap what we sow...how grimly is determined by past actions and how we handled the authority we were privileged to attain.
The transiting pile-up of Mars, Sun, Venus, Mercury Rx, and Jupiter have recently bowled through Ney's Saturn/Neptune in loose conjunction, and as you know, the Saturn/Neptune pair signify several things on many levels, not the least of which can be loss, weakness, grief, and torment as Neptune undermines all of Saturn's hard work. Saturn is solid and Neptune nebulous and foggy--a difficult combo of planets to direct properly for anyone.
So often, having Saturn (and perhaps Neptune) in 10th house of Career is a signature for "fall from grace", so Mr.Ney may have this in his natal chart, if his correct birth time is used. In fact, if his chart is imaginatively "flipped" to put Sat/Nep in 10th house, it would possibly give tr SN (separation; breaking of ties and associations) conjunct the newly-created MC rather than as now with tr NN--with its associative and joining qualities--at MC/Career Point. Just a thought, esp since he's being forcibly separated from his Career and Public Status by jail time and ignominy.
Bill Clinton and Richard Nixon (birth times are known) both have Saturn in 10th house--ability to reach high ambitions with Saturn being strong in his natural 10th house of Capricorn--but if not held in high regard, Old Man Saturn's scythe--and a humongous Scythe is now forming amongst the planets in the heavens, remember--his scythe or sickle will have its way with the proud, thus causing a fall from grace in Public Status (10th house.)
Pride really does come before a fall, says Taskmaster Saturn.
Without Ney's correct birth time, this is conjecture, of course. But his fall from grace is no conjecture and I believe from studies of his sunrise chart that this is a humiliating and excruciating experience for Mr. Ney--I'm not trying to be flippant about his troubles. It would be so for any but the most hardened heart and character.
But as most people realize: our troubles are often self-created...and we must all deal with that inconvenient fact no matter where it takes us on life's path...reaping what we sow all the way!
Or, as a wise cartoon character with an Irish brogue once said on tv's Dr. Katz, "sure, and we are the otters of our own fats."

"The Stars of November 8"
Well, Stars of the Stars!
Lawrence O'Donnell's predictive article of Nov 1 on Huffington Post sounds good to anyone who wants our inept, corrupt government officials held accountable for Bush's war and more--assuming their newly-in-charge enablers can dodge their own bullets--but at SO'W, the knowledge that trickster Rove is still on the loose means that it's no given that Ds will be inhabiting exalted catbird seats on November 8.
Yet change is good for the soul, and O'Donnell's The Stars of Nov 8 is a quick read on what could happen if the stars line up to create Dem "stars." But Mr.O'Donnell may not be as concerned about a retrograde Scorpio Mercury (until appr Nov 18) as he should be!
It's a recipe for recount and review.
Remember: the Democratic Party had its Progressed New Moon this August--the beginning of a new cycle of activity--so the time could be right for the Ds.
And also remember: the Ds are just a few years away from being ousted for corruption yet again--it is all about cycles, isn't it?

Meet More Dems: Obama, Harman, Conyers
This is probably the last I post of the Dems before the midterm elections unless you, Lone Reader, suggest a name or two worthy of a look. I dare ya, given the infestation in Washington.
Here is some general info using sunrise charts for day of birth in order to glean a bit on the personalities of Barack Obama, Jane Harman, and John Conyers.
Barack Obama, born August 4, 1961, Honolulu, Hawaii, has Sun Leo/Moon Taurus, or, if born after 1:04 pm, Sun Leo/Moon Gemini. See which sounds like the Barack you know:
Sun Leo/Moon Tau: here is a love of grandeur, generosity, and personal magnetism. There may be an egocentricity which seeks the powerful position with its regal bearing and administrative abilities. Dependable and pragmatic, here is a showman ("politician") who is capable and loyal.
This blend can be withholding and selfish if offended, scathing in speech, but is unflappable in emergencies with a strong sense of responsibility.
Images for Integration: Old King Cole was a merrie olde soul...Pymalion, My Fair Lady...A master potter turns dull clay into an exquisite vase.
If born with a later Moon...
Sun Leo/Moon Gemini:
Friendly, humorous, intuitive and analytical, this blend has organizing ability, a youthful spirit, and is clever and resourceful. He's a cool-headed charmer who can always come up with just the right phrase, but is a big-hearted kid on the inside.
There is a liking for popularity ("politician") and a tendency to rationalize and be emotionally fickle. An opportunist in the most positive sense ("politician" but positive), this personality shines in any work which requires quick-thinking, communicating, and travel.
Images for Integration: On a bright summer's day a butterfly turns into a radiant being...Children singing "Happy Birthday to you" at a celebrity birthday party.#
Jane Harman, born June 28, 1945, Queens, NY, has Sun Cancer/Moon AQ (Moon in AQ for the 24-hour period):
This is the thinking vs feeling combo, with a great sense of humanitarianism, generosity, and with a "nurturing the world" flavor. Past (Can) and Future (AQ) are constant themes in this life, and the visionary, mentally acute traits are obvious.
A shrewd protector of the under-dog, this is a sociable, whole-hearted and direct personality which can be as old-fashioned and crabby as any other Cancer (think, George Bush on the crabby part.)
This is the poet/mathematician and artist/scientist combo which loves to analyze the problems of the world.
Images for Integration: A mother and child skip down the street, arm in arm, to attend the Vision for World Peace charity fete at the park...A science museum inside a restored medeval castle...Carl Orff's Carmena Burana...The world as family.
(This is one of the possible blends for Carl Levin, as previously posted.)
And now, John Conyers, born May 16, 1929, Detroit, Michigan:
Sun Tau/Moon Leo, if born between midnight and 1:33 am:
Artistic and regal, this blend has a practical imagination, and is a leader with very fixed opinions who has strong vaues but can be quite materialistic. Ther eis a snobbish and ambitious streak ("politician"?) which can be a show off who leaves no one in doubt where he stands on issues that seem worthy of his attention (that's regal, proud Leo.)
Odds are Conyers was born within the other 22 1/2 hours of his day of birth, but just in case, here are the Images for Integration for Sun Tau/Moon Leo:
Keeping up with the Joneses...On a perfect summer's night, a performance of A Midsummer's Night's Dream is held in the palace garden.
Hmm-m-m...now here's the Sun Tau/Moon Virgo blend which sounds more reasonable to me:
Responsible, ethical, poised and stable, this blend is a lucid, graceful hard worker. This is a dutiful blend--something of an epicurean--and has a liking for practical tasks, and enjoys being both a good teacher and student.
Capable and blessed with loads of earthy charm, this personality is a workaholic who can be counted on, and aspires to a life of simplicity, usefulness, and rational harmony (unusual for a "politician", isn't it?) This blend can tend to get in a rut, but has the common sense necessary to get himself out. There is a need to create something concrete and enduring--this earth-earth blend is an artisan, in fact.
Images for Integration: The treasurer for the Association for Social Reform invests the proceeds of a jumble sale into gilt-edged securities...In her sumptuous garden, the music teacher entertains her now accomplished past pupils.
And one extra note on John Conyers: he was born into the same Eclipse Series as that of the attacks of 9/11/01, 3North, an over-excessive series which brings news concerning young people and/or news that transforms a situation. Large plans are made but should not be overdone. (Predictive Astrology, Bernadette Brady.)
Well, that's Meet More Dems for now, unless there's another personality we should discover together...let me know. There's a SO'W email link on this page--probably at bottom if you're using IE...security screening is in play, so request admission.
November 7: Be sure to VOTE, if you haven't already! And call that Bat-Line Phone Number which should be posted at your local polling booth if you have any problems with your ballot, or the voters list, ok?
We turned our backs for too long, trusted them and they went all squirrelly on us--we've got to pay better attention to the termites...aka "politicians" from now on.

"stuffed suits" who never served
Today Tony Snow said that Senator Kerry "not only owes an apology to those who are serving, but also to the families of those who've given their lives in this."
And when he says, "IN THIS"...Snow means the Iraq War "this." This is the this to which he refers.
White House Spokesman Slams Kerry Remark continuing the kill-the-messenger-avoid-the-message tactics which Kerry then called the "classic GOP playbook." He also called Snow a "stuffed shirt" ha ha.
Guess the wiffle ball is in Tony's court now.
SO'W has to be with Kerry on this one--WHO owes our troops and their families an apology? The liaring war-profiteers who sent them there under a ruse?
Say whaa-a--aa, Mr. Snowjob? Rrraow-w-w-w! Cat Fight! I LOVE Washington Cat Fights when they're among politicians who are just shining us on anyway all the way around.
Will Slam-the-Messenger-Who-Tells-the-Truth work for the jingoist GOP just before midterm elections?
YOU be the Decider. Please.
10.31.06 2:32 pm EST--Yayyy-y-y! We got our real time back--now if we can just get our real country back, that'd be very cool!

Call For Change
With November midterm elections almost upon us, we have an opportunity to re-define our world rather than continue accepting the war-mongering model Washington politicians have foisted upon us. Is their mindset our mindset? Is the beltway reality yours and mine, or only theirs?
MoveOn.org has some info you may want to check out before you cast your vote.
And you can verify that your name hasn't been lost or mysteriously "purged" from your local voting rolls by visiting mydem.democrats.com. Avoid nasty surprises on Voting Day, because with paper-and-document-influencing *Mercury now retrograde until November 18, it may be a l-o-n-g month in the ballot-counting and winner-declaring departments, my peops.
Hold on to your Diebolds, it's going to be a stumpy ride.
10.29.06 2:27 pm
*Read my Oct 15 post on midterm elections 2006 for chart details for Nov 7, Washington DC, 11:00 pm, which symbolically represents the end of the balloting, and thus, the election results themselves. We hope.

And then there's this: does a software company owned by Hugo Chavez really own Smartmatic, who'll be counting US votes? Think about it--AFTER you've taken your blood pressure meds...gives the smell of sulphur new meaning.
