Mozart to the World!
Listening now to the Metropolitan Opera's broadcast to the world of Mozart's THE MAGIC FLUTE.
As you know, one's natal chart continues to be transited and triggered posthumously, so how will today's big Mozart Shout-Out to the world - nearing the end of the year-long celebrations of the Maestro's 250th birthday party - be shown in his natal chart?
The music began today at 1:38 pm est, New York City, and Moon 20Tau16 was rising at the midpoint of his natal Venus/Neptune combo. Venus and Neptune separately and together indicate inspired art and music...that from-on-high style he is well-noted for.
If you read my previous post on Mozart from January, it'll spill the beans on Mozart's Harmonic signature (H5 = creativity known for its Style) as I wish him Happy 250th Maestro!
Rising...Venus/Neptune = Moon: reveling in love ideals; a dreamy nature; a chaotic emotional life; being easily influenced or misled by others; a renouncing, unhappy, or disappointed woman.
The pairing of Venus with Neptune relates to art and music, of course, and Moon = the Public, or Publicity.
(As always with midpoint pictures, they operate on an 'all, some,or none' level.)
Well! This could relate to someone at the Met today - or since I sometimes work on an ongoing study of Mozart's death, it could relate to his life 'then' and esp to a woman in his life.
Here are some other factors which stand out when relating today's performance chart with Mozart's natal chart:
Tr Chiron conjunct natal Sun "8AQ"; plus, tr Sun will conjunct natal Chiron on Jan 3, 2007...this reminds me of my previous post on Thomas Paine the day he had the same double transit between Sun and Chiron. You'll find my Thomas Paine posts--two in May '06, and one in Sept '06 in Monthly Archives...in this browser it's near the bottom of the page, but I'm using an updated IE7.
(Be sure to update your browser and clear your cache in time for the New Year!)
More on today at the MET:
Tr Mars is conjunct his natal Moon/Pluto conjunction, a duo signifying "smother love" but also gifting him with deeply powerful creativity...the ability to move the masses, oh yeah uh huh! (Mozart is my all-time fave, btw.)
Natal Moon/Pluto = tr Mars: unusually great energy and a tendency to quarrel; great changes of mood; easy excitability; injuries.
Well, the intensity and originality of Uranus is now highlighted for him - he's in process of having an Uranus Return...plus, he's just beyond his Saturn Half-Return (or Culmination, as I think of it), and his Nodal Half-Return--when weak relationships are broken--is on the way when tr South Node of the Moon reaches his NN 11Vir28.
The Magic Flute ended at about 3:30 pm...about 8 minutes ago, and I want to upload a drawing which I perpetrated of Herr Mozart back in the early 90s which I will do just after this post so it can welcome you who may or may not have gotten this far into my babbles...again, Happy 250th, Maestro, and...
Wishing Happy New Year to All!
Jude Cowell
And yet with Mooon squaring Saturn in the MET performance chart for today, it would seem as if the Moon (the public) is being blocked in some way by authoritative Saturn who repreents old traditions and even religions and philosophies.
Perhaps the brotherhood which Mozart joined is no more thrilled at The Magic Flute singing their secret tunes in 2006 than they were when po'd about it over 200 years ago!

Hussein before dawn?
Saturday 12:34 am est UPDATE from the AP: Saddam Hussein Executed for War Crimes...
Earlier post starts here:
Execution bwo hanging prior to 6 am Dec 20 in order to avoid a religious observation may be the fate of Saddam Hussein. He's another of the world's "leader in his own mind" kind of guys and the world certainly has a but*load of them lately.
Natally Hussein is characterized by a Moon/Mars conjunction which convinces its owner that only he has a right to be upset ane his temperamental impulses frequently reach madman levels. 'Easy anger' is a nice way to put it.
Are there indications in his Solar Return 2006 chart of his impending doom?
Try to get as astrologer to read death in a chart--go on, I dare ya. 99% of them won't do it--for one thing there are so many variables in a chart as well as in our complex universe.
But this case is quite different, isn't it? Confession: I have looked at Hussein's natal chart (Apr 28, 1937 NS 12:00 pm BAT -3:00 Tikrit, Iraq), the charts for Dec 29/30, 2006, Baghdad, and at his SR 2006...and there are New Moons to be seen, while the Cap Sun and Tau Moon are trining one another in the transit chart.
Morning of Dec 30...at 12:16:23 am, Baghdad, tr Moon 7Tau43 conjunct tr 8th cusp of Death--and conjunct his natal Sun. Now I'm looking at 'wesatern' charts and he would be looking at Lunar Calendar chart...yet the Moon is in the same place in the heavens and this can be called a 'new moon' of sorts...Moon to Sun.
And where is the Moon at 6:00 am--the 'deadline' for his execution, if some have their way?
Moon 11Tau05...which is his Solar Return Moon's position, 2006, which means his Solar Return '06 chart has a New Moon in 1st house of Self.
Other pertinent times are two planets rising, Dec 30: Jupiter (often active in cases of death) rises at 4:53 am; and vengeful Mars rises at 5:36 am...just before the magic 6:00 am hour.
Hussein is now in the secondary progr'd Balsamic phase (endings; partings; separation) which is the darkening of the light. He entered this phase around
Nov 14, 2004 at 27Tau28--near a couple of nasty Fixed Stars, one of which the Chinese relate to "piled up corpses"...Hussein's milieu. And he may either find himself the victim of the sword he was so fond of using against others...or perhaps he'll make a deal.
It's been my plea that he not be 'martyred' if only because it makes him too happy at the increased misery and woe which his death will escalate. Many people will see his execution as death at the hands of the invader--or at least they'll say they do--for effect.
But powerful forces in the world are wanting Hussein's voice snuffed out before he spills any inconvenient beans...and in the end, he'll be just another dictator who knew too much.

Without forgiveness the world is just an endless round of retaliation.

Human Intelligence Collectors
No, not bloggers, you silly!
From LegitGov.org:
LegitGov also has the info on the Bush-Cheney War Machine's plan to accept more foreigners into the US armed services in exchange for citizenship...and somewhere on this blog or elsewhere you may find my assertion years ago that Bush's "come on up" attitude in his first State of the Union Address was to line up Latinos to fight his oily wars.
And I'm not the only one:

Blair's plane misses turn in Miami
Yes, it's tempting to think there's more to the story of Blair's Plane Overshoots Miami Runway.
Well it isn't polonium-210...and there were appr 343 other passengers onboard but assassins wouldn't care about that, would they?
The real temptation stems from having a gander at the chart for tonight, Miami, Florida, 6:15 pm est...
Asc 14Can17, conjunct US and Bush natal Sun, chart-ruler Moon 26Pis36 in 9th house of foreign travel, with Moon in applying square to the Mercury (air travel)/Pluto conjunction in 6th house along with the Sun at "6Cap":
"Ten logs lie under an archway leading to darker woods"...here a man may reach a THRESHOLD where he may have to pause in order to safeguard his further advance (Rudhyar, An Astrological Mandala.) The pilot paused...precisely.
(The Mercury/Pluto pair have to do with cunning, craftiness, overestimation of self, zeal, and propaganda.)
Recently I posted on the transiting planets which have been opposing Mr Blair's 12th house planets, and Jupiter--usually in evidence in cases of death--is still within orb of opposing his natal Mars. Blair's natal Jupiter is at the critical, crisis-ridden 29th degree, btw.
At 6:15 pm, Neptune was in 8th house of Death and Transformation (and Other People's Money! Did he have a stash with him? ho Ho HO) with Bush's natal Asc/Desc axis on the 2nd/8th axis of the 6:15 pm chart. And so tr Chiron 7AQ25 is conjunct Bush's Desc and the 8th cusp...but interestingly at the Medina degree.
North Node (NN) 19Pis 11 is in 9th house also at the "Table set for an evening meal" degree and the WHY Point--the MC--is "5Aries": "A triangle with wings."
Now when I see a Sabian Symbol that mentions a configuration such as a triangle, I look for one in the chart and the only one I'm seeing here is the Mercury/Pluto conj trine Saturn 24Leo40Rx...the isolated leader...in the 2nd house of Money and Values.
Merc/Pluto = Saturn: exposure to heavy and bitter attacks; scepticism; separation; unrelenting pressure; insistence on point of view; driven by fear of failure; needing control. (Sounds like the usual politico stuff with squirrelly monies tossed in, doesn't it?)
Speaking of TRINES:
Then there's the specter of the so-called Bermuda Triangle, a place where people tend to disappear--in aircraft usually. No one's confirming last I heard, but the Blairs tend to favor Bermuda getaways. Perhaps that's where the offshore accounts are, hmmm-m-m-m...?
So with Bush now hiding out at the ranch in Crawford--mulling over his next move, and with quarrelsome Mars at "15Sag", also in 6th house, we see "The groundhog looking for his shadow on Groundhog Day, Feb 2" so it may be instructive to see what's afoot for Feb 2, 2007...and to look back at Feb 2, 2006 for Blair/Bush info of note. Got any?

the 110th Congress
Jan 4, 2007: what's rising at 9:30 am est at the Capitol Building? E/Inquiring minds want to know.
Neptune, planet of deception and illusion is one degree past the "A man unmasked" degree..."19AQ": "A forest fire is being subdued by the use of water, chemicals, and sheer muscular energy"...we are shown man in action in a crucial and potentially devastating situation. There is a need for a total mobilization of energy and a deep sense of INDOMITABILITY (Dane Rudhyar, An Astrological Mandala.)
Applicable also since Neptune is associated with water and chemicals.
Sounds good for the Dem Congress' touting of getting things more common-sensically under control, but it also sounds like the so-called (Uranian!) SURGE being favored by warhawks and other die-hards in hopes of saving their bacon in Iraq.
9:30 am ASC 19AQ25, Uranus 11Pis40 and North Node 18Pis10 in first house...not the most stable factors you'd like to see rising for the day with Pisces being mutable (change is being promised though, isn't it?) and NN indicating meetings/associations.
Uranus tends to bring the unexpected...and whatever you think that means...it doesn't. But I assume that the SURGE to Baghdad must on top of the plate.
Plus, the combo of Uranus/NN = unusual, new, or sudden associations, of course.
Neptune is now opposite the unfortunate degree of the August 11, 1999 "Mother of All Eclipses"...aka the "King of Terror" Eclipse, so-dubbed centuries ago by Nostradamus.
Obviously, the "war on terror", the misbegotten and overfunded Iraq War, and other issues of waste and Speculation (big oil tax breaks, so-called "flawed leases", Katrina boondoggling and extortion, etc) will be on the Dem menu.
Democrats Eye Oil Money Conservations which will please Saturn's deep sense of conservation, if it helps the cause of energy alternatives.
At the Ic Point, the HOW or Foundation of the chart, is transiting asteroid, MIDAS of wealth and greed fame.
Tr Moon 26Can21 is in cadent 6th house and reflecting Bush's Saturn in its accountability for his poor judgment based on intuition and pie-in-the-sky over-optimism rather than on common sense...and as you know, old man Saturn insists on use of common sense and acting responsibly. That'd be a big oops for Duhbya.
Opposite MIDAS is moneybags Jupiter, significator of the Republican Party at the WHY Point...so even though Dems have broadcast that their tenure isn't about Gotcha Politics, it's difficult to see how the 110th couldn't be--esp considering who was minding the candy store the last several years and how things have turned out and down.
Jan 4, 9:30 am is just after a Full Moon which is conjuncting the US natal--and therefore George Bush's natal--Sun (purpose) and as you know, Full Moons are the Culmination stage...something has come to fruition. Is the Dem Congress taking office?
Now for the *Sun/Moon blend's Images for Integration...Sun Cap/Moon Cancer:
A politician kisses a baby without pretense...The Third Man...a Water Clock.
Whaa-a--a? A politican without pretense? Well, don't know about you but I'm suitably impressed!
A Water (Neptune; Moon in Cancer) Clock (Saturn, the Timekeeper reaping)...that's interesting esp with the forming Saturnian Scythe and Bush's isolation becoming more obvious daily.
Wonder who The Third Man will turn out to be?
UPDATE: in pinging Technorati just now I found a great blog with articles about this very thing relating the 110th Congress and the fact that the White house is being beefed up...no big surprise to hear this: Bush Lawyering Up in expectation of more scrutiny, investigations, and possible subpoenas from the Dems...all in Saturn's province of legalisms!
fatcatpolitics is a blog previously unknown to me but I'll be checking back--esp with its sentiment I've been sharing all through our Bush Nightmare...i'm sorry world.
Well-said--and heartfelt from yours truly.

Scaramella Arrested in Italy
Is this a Merry Christmas for Mario Scaramella?
Report: Italy Makes Arrest in Spy Case and it's Mario Scaramella who met Litvinenko Nov 1--which apparently continues to be considered the day of Litvinenko's poisoning.
Scaramella is said to have connections to the deputy chief of Russia's FSB, Viktor Komogorov--who is alleged by Chechen sources to have been conducting an investigation of Litvinenko. And Scaramella has some knowledge of radioative materials, sources say. Uh huh.
And as far as Litvinenko's deathbed accusation against Putin as his assassin, it's been suggested that this heinous deed may have been "outsourced" by the Kremlin to foreign operatives (Scaramella?) to give Putin plausible deniability...which sounds plausible to me.
The US gov is historically fond of using the plausible deniability ploy, too. We may have invented the sorry phrase, ya think?
Scaramella and Livinenko are said to have dined together at the sushi bar (oh no--it was the sushi?)...and maybe I'm OD'ing on sugar plums here, but contrary to the above headline, the article says that Scaramella has been arrested for arms trafficking and slander. Is that how they got him into custody for more questioning on the dastardly poisoning? The charges don't seem to be connected...?...oh those mesmerizing sugar plums...I gotta quit.
Well it could be worse--they could be polonium-laced sugar plums, couldn't they?
Here's the sunrise natal chart for Alexander Litvinenko Dec 4, 1962 but with chart details here where additionally you'll find a few links to this poisoning case if you need to refresh yourself on the sad details as they've happened.
The chart link actually takes you to Lim's Limericks where a reach-around was performed on behalf of SO'W one day when Blogger wouldn't upload images for SO'W. (And it won't upload them today for my Art Gallery blogs either...for which I'm pouting.)
Thanks again, Lim!
