Just back from France, Mr.A.Cat has had me publish his latest limerick at Lim's Limericks concerning the UMP Party's Nicolas Sarkozy and his presidential victory Sunday.
At Lim's you'll find a link to an article on the ongoing riots, car burnings, window smashings, and arrests bedeviling the French nation. It's not certain that Sarkozy's expressed admiration for George Bush will be doing him a world o'good as he attempts to manifest his reformist tendencies upon France with her sluggish economy and large immigrant populations.
And where has Sarkozy been during the riots? Resting on a yacht in the Mediterranean. Sluggish economy indeed. Wonder whose name is on the yacht's title?
He's partying on down, I imagine, while Paris burns. The similaries between Bush, Sarkozy, and Nero I shall barely mention...esp with the incendiary Mars/Uranus snugged around NN...hyperexcitability; an excited demonstration shown to others; the execution of extraordinary and unusual enterprises.
Of course, Sunday's election occurred under this influence as well...and how do they count their votes so quickly in France when we can barely count ours at all?

The 'New' Masons
Did you miss NPR's report over the weekend on the current state of Freemasonry?
New Masons Drawn by Brotherhood, Not by Myths asserts that the brotherhood teaches moral lessons bwo allegory and secret rituals.
It's the secret rituals part that opens the door to cult accusations...even by the Roman Catholic Church. Guess the vatican likes to keep the market cornered on the secret ritual stuff.
Then you've got the the craft moniker--use of that term stirs the pot with the general public since it sounds wiccan or something (stirs the pot--I so foony...must be my n Jupiter/Saturn trine!)
Yet the US had 50,000 lodges and 4 million members in the 40s and 50s--now approximately 1.8 million, and the membership's average age continues to lower as their WWII-era brothers are passing on at a rapid rate.
See: Why 'Stars Over Washington'? in which I defend the naming of this blog along with some info concerning the founding of America and our nation's early connections to Freemasonry, if you wish.

EU/US Merger: New Global Order By Stealth
By Steve Watson
In a sweeping move that has garnered surprisingly little attention this week the United States and the European Union have signed up to a new transatlantic economic partnership that will see regulatory standards "harmonized" and will lay the basis for a merging of the US and EU into one single market, a huge step on the path to a new globalized world order.

Are You a Tech Omnivore?
Are you a technology Omnivore, Connector, Productivity Enhancer, or Lackluster Veteran?
Not sure which category I fit into but lackluster probably has something to do with it. And the Pew Internet and American Life Project can help me figure it out.
There's a quiz you may take if you're into fretting about it or you may read how the Survey Shatters Technology Assumptions which may or may not get your tech fires glowing again.
Funny that I just finished reading Robert Blaschke's Earthwalk Astrology Newletter concerning the semiseptile phase of Uranus/Neptune and its Information Age connections that began with the Uran/Nep Conjunctions of 1993 (Feb 2, Aug 20, and Oct 24) as the tech revolution for the masses took hold of our brain waves.
The semiseptile is an aspect of the 14th Harmonic issuing from the H7 = spiritual awareness. And Robert Blaschke asserts that the Information Age is proving to be an empty disappointment for most people--"illusions weaved with modern technology" or, in astrologese--Neptune + Uranus.
Then I find the above article on how we Americans fall into which category of 'user' based on the Pew survey...the whole thing sounds addictive when you put it that way, doesn't it? How many spouses have complained of such in recent years?
Sounds like Neptune is up to its usual tricks--negative escapism vs true spirituality!
Note: Earthwalk Astrology's latest Newsletter also has info on Jeanne Palfrey's natal chart--Mr.Blaschke spoke with the DC Madam by phone and she gave him her details! The federal charges may be dismissed or reduced--her Sec Moon was trining natal Jupiter at the time of her indictment, March 1.

Hindenburg Disaster 1937 and 2007
This evening the Navy Lakehurst Historical Society is holding a private memorial service in honor of the 70th anniversary of the Hidenburg Disaster.
The luxuriously appointed Hindenburg erupted in flames on May 6, 1937, 7:25 pm edt, as it landed at the Lakehurst Naval Air Field with 1000+ passengers onboard. Having made several trips in 1936, this was its first voyage of 1937.
The swastika-emblazoned zeppelin was the pride of the Third Reich and had been named for Paul von Hidenburg (1847-1934), who was president of Germany from 1925-1943. The German government purchased the ship as the Zeppelin Company struggled during the Depression, so the tale goes.
Due to a US embargo on helium, the Hidenburg was filled with bags of flammable hydrogen and through the years its demise has been primarily thought to have been static electricity from earlier storms in the day igniting leaking gas...if not sabotage, Pluto's domain. (1937 Pluto was opposite US n Pluto, and tr Jupiter was conj US n Pluto...not enough to go on without further investigation.)
Asteroid, Midas, was conj the Sun in greedy, sometimes intolerant Taurus...possibly related to the US embargo mentioned above.
But the garlic which had been added to aid with odor detection in case of a leak, did not indicate such a leak according to the ship's captain.
The Concorde of its day, the Hidenburg has been called the "Titanic of the Sky" and was thought (in similar fashion to the doomed ocean liner) to have been "infallible."
The most prominent theory for the fire which I can feret out is from a NASA scientists' research indicating that static electricity (Uranus) had ignited (Mars, in 1st house and Rx) the fabric covering (Saturn) which had a new (Uranus) protective coating (Saturn.)
You see Mercury (air travel; communications) is Rx also. The ship had been used to deliver Third Reich propaganda and was filled with mail from various countries to be delivered inside the U.S.
Here you see the charts for the disaster--which took appr 34 seconds to engulf the ship and crash it in flames--plus, the chart for this evening's service.
In 1937, there were asteroids of note: determined Sisyphus at MC opposite Arachne (webs, membranes, networks) and wax-wing-melted Icarus, an asteroid often active in air disasters.
The fabric covering was fitted over a metal frame, and the most recent research seems to show the possibility that German scientists' methods and design were at fault, infallible as they preferred to be considered. Some of the fabric remains and has aided in the protective coating part of the theory's research.
It is my estimation that tonight's chart with Saturn at MC--describes the scientists of 1937's determination (Sisyphus) for authority (Saturn) and was at least in part the WHY (MC) of the disaster, couple with Arachne's and Icarus' influences at the Foundation Point--the IC (endings; the drain; the HOW Point.)
There's a site with slideshow and video of the disaster at vidicom-tv.com which includes footage filmed onboard--the film survived inside the camera but its owner did not.
My heart goes out this evening to the survivors and descendants of this horrible air disaster (as are we all in the larger sense) while also remembering that arrogant infallibility gets mankind in a heap of trouble for pride comes before a fall.
Tiresome platitude? Perhaps, but we hear it so often for one good reason: because it's so very true.

Street Sense wins Kentucky Derby!
They just ran the K-Derby which took all of 2:02:17 minutes, and 2-year-old Street Sense has won.
With tr Jupiter$ and Pluto$ snugged around tr Moon 24Sag45, we see the moola flowing with Jup/Plu = Moon (see previous post on the Queen's visit to US for midpoint pictures' expanations.)
And the Sabian Symbol for the Moon, "25Sag"?
"A chubby boy on a hobby horse"!! I kid you not.
Although jockies must be slight, not chubby, I thought that was perfect.
The amusingly-named longshot I'm a Wild and Crazy Guy finished 4th.
FYI: Queen Elizabeth was reported by NPR to be wearing a green straw hat with a pinkish-red scarf tied around it. I assume it matched her outfit.

Queen Elizabeth and Cousin George partay!
With more than a whiff of scandal in the exalted air in the US and Britain, it seems appropriate that Queen Elizabeth II has the same natal Sun-Moon personality blend as the Jamestown Colony (May 3, 1607 NS, sunrise: 5:07:32 am LMT, Sun/ASC 12Tau24, Moon 4Leo50.)
For speed purposes I'll be referring to the British monarch here as QE2--no disrepect intended...natal chart bwo AstroDataBank: Apr 21, 1926; 2:40 am BST, from official records...birthplace London, of course.
QE2's natal Sun is earlier in Taurus 00:12 conjunct Chiron--although out-of-sign with Chiron 28Ari01. With Sun conj Chiron, our full sense of self, of being who we are, is connected to the degree by which we experience spirituality and higher consciousness, and relates to identifying our dharma, or life's work.
She's always seemed to me to have an excellent sense of who she is, royal "WEs" to the contrary. However, her closest--and only--applying aspect to natal Sun is a nagging 'minor' semi-square with Venus (1A15)--perhaps showing in part the stiff view of her personality held by the public (with Saturn at MC, the most public point in any chart, doing the rest.)
A waxing (unconscious) Sun/Chiron conj (2S11) gives a very strong and innate sense of destiny with normal life patterns rarely if ever lived out (Chiron, Barbara Hand Clow.)
If you were Queen, you'd be above the crowd and feeling Saturn's isolation as well, and having her duty-bound Saturn at MC and in powerful Scorpio has made her path clear...Saturn's authority gave her no options but to follow the family business of monarchy.
Plus, natal SN (a separative point and Saturnian to boot) conj n ASC places the Lady 'outstanding in her own field'...and separates her from all but the closest relations. Having SN conj ASC may cause problems with them as well!
There's no time to delineate her entire natal chart, more's the pity, but I want to mention a few more interesting factors relating to her current US visit including the Sun Tau/Moon Leo synchronicity with Jamestown's founding.
This is a good time to give the regal, vain Sun Tau/Moon Leo blend with its fixed opinion tendencies and its materialistic, snobbish, and masterful traits:
Images: On a perfect summer's eve, a performance of A Midsummer Night's Dream is held in the palace garden...Keeping up with the Joneses. (If she's here to check up on and rein in Cousin George, then we must be the Joneses!)
And here is a timely quote from QE2 herself:
"True patriotism doesn't exclude an understanding of the patriotism of others."
A most riveting observation considering with whom she's cavorting this weekend...perhaps she should've mentioned it to Cheney prior to 2000 and 2003.
QE2 shares this natal blend with Moshe Dayan, who said:
"Whenever you accept our views, we shall be in complete agreement with you."
Wonder who'll be carrying the bigger cattle prod in Washington on Monday? Couldn't Cousin George just have shipped over the gold as usual? But they had more big fish to fry, it seems...read further...
Another of her natal chart features worth mentionally is her Pluto/NN conj with its obvious 'power-as-destiny' flavor. This is the 'tiger-by-the-tail' aspect which gives QE2 the drive and determination to take advantage of prevailing social trends to her advantage (hullo, Jamestown, VA Tech, and Kentucky Derby!) Plu/NN has an even more deliberate and calculating quality than an Uranus/NN conj--which Bush has natally.
The Pluto/NN conj has a dangerous tendency to manipulate social forces which are often too large to handle safely. 'We' may find ourselves entrapped or crushed by the weight of circumstances in which we embroil ourselves (and as in all astrology and LIFE, we may experience this happening to others in our environment--ex: perfect description for the fates of Princess Diana and Dodi Fayed esp since North Node represents a fated path or destiny.)
This affairs-out-of-hand quality of Plu/NN conjs may collapse existing structures in a dangerous way. Yeah. Same with the Middle East, thanks a bunch.
But back to QE2's jolly US vacation...
With her natal Saturn 24Sco27, I looked at her arrival chart using tr Moon 24Sco27 which actually timed perfectly with May 3 of her arrival upon our shores.
As her visit progresses, tr Moon crosses tr Jupiter 18Sag15 Rx--a pleasant contact--and then tr Pluto 28Sag37, a point conjuncting Fixed Star, Acumen, keywords: enduring attacks which weaken.
Someone is feeling isolated, alone, and weakened, and the Moon is here to (among other things) buck him up, it would seem. You may be tempted to think this refers only to Bush, but check out this midpoint picture which has been ongoing with tr Saturn 18Leo27...stomping between QE2's n Moon/Neptune:
Moon/Nep = tr Saturn: pessimism; despair; influenced strongly by prevailing and temporary circumstances and conditions; feeling frustrated or paralyzed; hard work to shake off indolence; sense of suffering under the yoke (probably a permanent condition with her motto, duty first, self second); restructuring ambition.
Hey, I know--she and Bush and their elitist cronies could pay for restructuring and rebuilding Iraq! Sometimes I have good ideas.
So after tr Moon visits Jupiter (Cheney?) and Pluto (your guess is as good as mine--Bush perhaps?) Moon will conj QE2's natal ASC on the night of the State Banquet at the White House, Monday, May 7...21Cap23. And of course, Sagittarius is the sign of the half HORSE/half man centaur--she throws down at the Kentucky Derby on Saturday!
By Monday, the Sun Tau/Moon Cap blend gives this *Image/word picture:
A royal banquet honours the longest-serving headmistress of the oldest most prestigious school in the land. (Sometimes Astrology amazes!)
So tr Moon (as QE2 herself--and the Moon makes a good timer) goes from the beginning of her trip to the Monday night barbeque (please, George, tell me you'll allow decent fare to be served!) beginning with her 9th house Saturn (albeit closely conj n MC 25Sco33), through her 11th house of Groups/Associations/Hopes and Wishes--Partay!...then through her behind-the-scenes 12th house of Karma and Self-Undoing, and on to conj natal Ascendant on Monday night: 21Cap23.
This gives three midpoint pictures as tr Moon approaches, goes between, and passes Jupiter and Pluto...
Moon/Plu = Jup: emotional conviction guides a new start; establishing one's new position with a gut feeling (oh dear--not again); great success; lucky chances;
Jup/Plu = Moon: the desire to bring about social improvements and aspirations; the ability to influence the masses or the public bwo an appeal to the emotions; a good psychologist (Bush and Cheney could use one--have at it, Old Girl!);
Moon/Jup = Pluto: an extraordinary and usual striving for possessions and wealth; the urge to start great enterprises (deja-vu?); major plans for major triumph; the big picture and the power to make it appear.
Well, isn't this nice? It is for them--tr NN (meetings; encounters; associations) is conjuncting QE2's n Venus, planet of relationships, money, and pleasant social functions--NN to Venus = cultural get-togethers.
May we only hope that the White House pretzels aren't too stale for the royal palate!
Tuesday she'll wing her way back to her own realm (that is, if you think Cornwallis' Surrender was for real and that American independence is lasting into 2007) where Tony Blair's Labour Party has just and justly suffered embarrassing defeats based primarily on Blair's support of the Bush-Cheney invasion of Iraq. And ten years in power seems like a mighty long time.
It'll be a royal wee wee wee, all the way home.
So why not close with a few bon mots from Peter Pan author J.M. Barrie, another Scotsman, who so winningly said:
"You've forgotten the grandest moral attribute of a Scotsman, Maggie, that he'll do nothing which might damage his career."
For speed purposes I'll be referring to the British monarch here as QE2--no disrepect intended...natal chart bwo AstroDataBank: Apr 21, 1926; 2:40 am BST, from official records...birthplace London, of course.

Space Weather News for May 3, 2007 SpaceWeather.com
HALLEY'S METEORS: Earth is entering a stream of dust from Halley's Comet,
and this will produce a meteor shower (the "eta Aquarids") peaking on
May 6th. Unfortunately, moonlight will interfere with the display, wiping out all
but the brightest meteors. People who wake up before dawn on Sunday and look east
might nevertheless catch a few specks of Halley's Comet disintegrating in Earth's
atmosphere.
SPARKLING SUNSPOT: Sunspot 953, which emerged one week ago, has proven to be one
of the most photogenic sunspots in years. For one thing, it is crackling with micro
solar flares (sometimes called "Ellerman Bombs"); this makes the sunspot
appear to sparkle when viewed through the eye piece of a backyard solar telescope.
There's also an active magnetic filament winding outward from the sunspot's
dark core. So far, no major solar flares have issued from this active region, but
it's still a great show. Check SpaceWeather.com for the latest pictures

May 1, 2003's New Moon
On the morning of May 1, 2003, the day of Bush's Mission Accomplished propagandist stage craft, there was a New Moon 10Tau43 (8:14 am EDT.)
At the moment of the New Moon, the speculative, idealistic Jupiter/Neptune midpoint was focused upon it which gives us these pictures:
Jup/Neptune = Sun: irresponsibility; a squandering of physical strength; deceving or being deceived; potentially misguided states; trying to capture the essence of things; following a dream (George Quixote Bush?);
Jup/Nep = Moon: going with the wind; an emotional swoon; little sense of reality; losing oneself in plans; speculation; instability; wastefulness.
Jupiter that day was conj Bush's and the GOP's natal Mercury (thinking; communications; planning) so you know they were high on something--their own misdirected imaginings, as most people realize by now. And some of that Federalist political pretzel juice was being passed around, no doubt, laced with arrogance.
Your reluctant astrologer (moi) was watching the man with a sock stuffed into his stagey flightsuit--and watching an animated real-time chart (Solar Fire software) as he spoke with the planets rising, culminating, etc...ticking away our lives and our fortunes.
Also at the moment of the New Moon--what midpoint do you think was at MC, the WHY or Aspiration Point of the chart?
Our old friends, Uranus and Neptune, the New World Order duo...
Uran/Nep = MC: inner vision; guidance sought from never-before-tapped sources; a peculiar disposition and strange interests; unconsciousness (of reality? of practicality?); unawareness; mourning; dissolution; a nervous breakdown.
Yeah, May 1, 2003 was another day of grand imaginings and plans in Bush's bubble world.
So here we are at the 4th anniversary.
You may wish to remind yourself of who else wants a New World Order...it's John Paul II on Jan 1, 2004 representing the vatican...giving a globalist shout-out to his globalist buds...article link is in my post from Feb 2006 And Who Wants the NWO? The article's subtitle is darned catchy:
UN's failure to halt US war on Iraq leads to new initiative...does it, now?
That little theater presentation between Bush-Cheney and the UN leads to a NWO?? Puh! George must've kissed Rome's ring real sweet for that particular reach-around with the press in cahoots as usual.
And if you're willing you can revisit another SO'W post from Nov 2005 New World Order Oct 24, 1993 if you want to appreciate its baby horns and hooves...not that it wasn't in the works a long time before 1993--Family Planning!
And who can forget this oldy-but-not-so-moldy post from April 2006? Cheney and 911 which tells of mighty Dick's secondary progressed, and class warfare...chart set for 9/11/01.
Can't you hear them now?
George you go far away--down to Florida would be perfect--and be seen to be doing good...we'll round up some kids for you to read to...unaware and innocent-like...Mr. Unaware!
...kind of like the politicians and their ongoing Bible reading at the Capitol Building this week which culminates on Thursday, the National Day of Prayer.
Perhaps these political thespians will get to the part where Jesus cautioned about not praying in public, but going home, shutting the door and praying for your needs in private...think they'll get that far in their hypocritical charade?
Neither do I. But Pat Robertson is mighty proud of what they're doing...I heard him mention it on his tv show this morning. It's another Jupiter/Neptune set-up echoing from May 1, 2003!
At the moment of the New Moon, the speculative, idealistic Jupiter/Neptune midpoint was focused upon it which gives us these pictures:
Jup/Neptune = Sun: irresponsibility; a squandering of physical strength; deceving or being deceived; potentially misguided states; trying to capture the essence of things; following a dream (George Quixote Bush?);
Jup/Nep = Moon: going with the wind; an emotional swoon; little sense of reality; losing oneself in plans; speculation; instability; wastefulness.
Jupiter that day was conj Bush's and the GOP's natal Mercury (thinking; communications; planning) so you know they were high on something--their own misdirected imaginings, as most people realize by now. And some of that Federalist political pretzel juice was being passed around, no doubt, laced with arrogance.
