Stars in the Summer Sky 2007

Just found a well-written article by my Gather friend, TK Rosevear which you might wish to check out. It has good info on Summer Stargazing for you including the Total Lunar Eclipse of August 28 which is a must-see if you can...those on the West Coast of the US will have the best view.

Full Moon will be at 4Pis47 (so Sun at 4Vir47) with the Lunar Lady snugged between two Fixed Stars: one a Royal Star of Persia, mystical Fomalhaut, keywords: success through noble ideals; humanitarian and poetic (Brady's Fixed Stars.)

Then there's Deneb Adige, keywords: a willingness to become aware. This Star is in the constellation Cygnus, the Swan and is of a Mercury/Venus nature.

This is a subtle Star yet it connects to the strength and hostility of the swan. There is an arts and sciences flavor so perhaps there will be an announcement of a break-through since Full Moons are good for publicity. Yet when a Lunar Eclipse is involved, there's something hidden there, too.

Deneb Adige has a mystical, shamanistic quality attached which relates specifically to the myth of the World Egg. Mother Teresa had natal Sun and Moon linked to this Star.

The journey of self-awareness, the archetypal Hero's Journey is a large part of Deneb Adige's legend so keep an ear out for mentions of such things at the end of August and into September. Perhaps Mother Teresa or her selfless work in India will be in the news again!

Fake Steve? or real Steve Jobs?




Mystery blogger Fake Steve is outed so why not 'out' the real Steve? (Click chart to enlarge my scribbly notes.)

If you allow MC as a focal point of a YOD pattern we have:

Venus/Saturn = MC: seeking solitude; irritability; reserve.

His mysterious, charismatic Mars/Neptune opposition forms two T-squares--one with Chiron, one with technology-loving Uranus. (Chiron is also associated with technology.)

Mars/Neptune = Uranus: energetically following one's personal dream; reaching for pie-in-the-sky.

Folks with n Mars/Neptune in opposition must avoid professions with any hint of illegality, and he's certainly been accused of this and that, for Mars/Neptune people can easily be made patsies or scapegoats if they're not completely on the up'n'up.

Their preferred methods involve secrecy which tends to result in suspicion from others, and there may be misplaced loyalties which interfere with actions taken.

Jobs has no out-of-bounds planets in his chart so all his energies work together admirably, and his South Node in 10th house (the most public house in a chart) underscores the above-mentioned Venus/Saturn/MC YOD's need for seclusion and privacy.

Meanwhile, he has certainly baked up a golden sky pie, hasn't he? In fact, his Sun Pisces/Moon Aries blend's Image for Integraton is:

In tattered rags, the small, obscure young servant named Arthur pulls the sword from the stone and becomes king of Camelot. (Sun Sign, Moon Sign, Charles and Suzy Harvey.)

Yes, Jupiter/Uranus (technology again!) when conjunct provides for much expansion in the life and tends to bring fortunate breaks, and long-distance travel. It gives an insatiable desire for knowledge, and great insight with talent development. There is also an interest in politics--and political activity is shown in some of his progressed charts (charts not shown here.)

And an unaspected Mercury (thinking; communications) placed in Aquarius (sign of technology!) has definitely aided him with his inventive abilities and great success thereby.

Sun Pisc/Moon Aries is shared natally by Emile Coue, who famously intoned:

"Every day in every way, I am getting better and better." Is that an Apple creed or something? Not sure, but it is the Jupiter Mantra which Bush and his ilk repeat to their globally-directed elite selves every day.

The saucily-written Fake Steve blog purports to invade Jobs' privacy, but how much it actually does, I do not know because I've never visited. Perhaps I'll mosey over right now and see if it's more invasive than this post...

Hylan, Bernanke, and The Fed

"The real menace of our Republic is the invisible government which like a giant octopus sprawls its slimy legs over our cities, states and nation. At the head is a small group of banking houses... This little coterie...run our government for their own selfish ends. It operates under cover of a self-created screen...in its long and powerful tentacles it seizes...our executive officers...legislative bodies...schools...courts...newspapers and every agency created for the public protection.”

N.Y. Mayor, John Hylan

Side Note: I italicized 'tentacles' because murdered writer, Danny Casolaro, had named the organisation he was researching The Octopus, and spoke of its 'tentacles.' He gave his life for that one--and his notes magically disappeared after his suspicious death. That weekend there was a New Moon 17Leo aka the heart of the Scorpion degree. A very interesting case relating to the software program, Promis, which can track you wherever you roam.

And all this went on during the Great Conjunction/s of Uranus and Neptune circa 1992-93.


Here's Mayor John Hylan railing against international bankers, John D. Rockerfeller-Standard Oil and our not-just-a-conspiracy-theory secret/shadow government from Feb 17, 1933. This link takes you to a newspaper article which hopefully is legible in your browser (I use--and this blog appears best in--IE, btw.)

Any politicians who want to be seriously in-the-running for the US presidency must agree with the small coterie who use them as "cats' paws," Hylan said, to be "amenable to the dictates of corrupt big business."

Candidates are screened (the one I read about earlier this year...wish I had saved the link to the article...was Barak Obama meeting with the coterie in NY, and the big question to him was along the lines of: can you make decisions without facts?

In other words, will you follow our dictates without question, you little Cats' Paw, you? Obama said, yes! and hence his candidacy continues. So anyone who is a 'candidate' has given them the correct answer. And anyone who "wins" is their shill with plenty of Meow Mix as a deal-sweetener...ocean fishy flavor probably.)


Now as you know, the US natal chart (Sibly, 7.4.1776, 5:10 pm LMT, although it's really more of a Dane Rudhyar chart than Sibly's antique version) has Venus (values; money; relationships) at "4Cancer": "A cat arguing with a mouse."

Nearby is n Jupiter (rich men; gurus; professors; Zeus-like figures) at "6Can": "Gamebirds feathering their nests." Well yes, that they continue to do.

In US' 8th house of other peoples' money, credit, banking, insurance, debt, legacies, and such, is Rx Mercury at "25Can": "A leader of men wrapped in an invisible mantle of power." Seems the privately-owned Fed along with international bankers and energy barons control our government so I guess that makes mild-mannered Ben Bernanke the cat's meow. But you knew all that.

So how does any of this fit in with the strong-armed Trilateral Commission which will be having its 35th birthday soon? Read Patrick Wood's excellent The August Review to find out more.

And have you checked out Mr.A.Cat's Karl Rove rhyminess? Lim's Limericks has it for you, but BYOMM...bring your own Meow Mix!

Astrologers who've read my chart!

Here's my complete list of astrologers who had given me personal chart readings... most have been birth/natal chart consultations, one was for Solar Returns, and one (you know who) was for my Fixed Star Report.

All but two were done by phone with a tape sent along afterward. The Fixed Star Report was by tape only due to distance (Australia), and one was sent by email for the same reason (UK.)

I'm putting them in order of readings with links to their blogs/sites although some are connected with astrology organisations and a few of them write for other sites or have free Astrology Newsletters available as well:


Moses Siregar

Noel Tyl

Alan Oken

Erin Sullivan

Madalyn Hillis-Dineen

Bernadette Brady

Mary Shea

John Frawley


Whew! That's quite a bit of info, isn't it? For me, I mean! All provided detailed, useful information on the bundle of cells that is moi, although I do have a couple of favorites--and I'm wondering if you have had readings from anyone on this list?

These links will take you to blogs/sites where you'll find free newletters to sign up for, informative articles to read, heads-ups to well-written astrology books, and a plethora of links to other pertinent locations of note, NCGR included.


Now that I see the astrologers all in a row, it's quite an illustrious list, isn't it? And because I'm a "9" kinda gal, it seems I need one more reading...suggestions anyone?

August is 'Mars Hoax' time again!

Space Weather News for August 4, 2007:


BEWARE THE MARS HOAX: It's August, which means it's time for the annual Mars Hoax.

An email is going around claiming that Mars will approach Earth on August 27th; the encounter will be so close, the email states, that Mars will rival the full Moon in size and brightness. (Imagine the tides!) Don't believe it. The Mars Hoax email first appeared in 2003. On August 27th of that year, Mars really did come historically close to Earth. But the email's claim that Mars would rival the Moon was grossly exaggerated. Every August since 2003, the email has staged a revival.

Here's something that is true: Mars is having a close encounter with the Pleiades star cluster, easily seen in the eastern sky before sunrise. Especially good mornings to look are August 6th and 7th when the crescent Moon joins the planet and the cluster to form a pretty celestial triangle. Set your alarm!

MANMADE NOCTILUCENT CLOUDS: This morning in Florida, NASA's Phoenix Mars lander blasted off from Cape Canaveral aboard a Delta II rocket. The rocket's exhaust created a beautiful display of luminous, night-shining clouds.

Saturn in Virgo for the 2008 US election

Will the repairing of America be on the next president's agenda?

Although I've been studying the charts for the 2008 Election, I haven't prepared a post for publishing as of yet. So I keep an eye out for any articles by my esteemed colleagues who have come to a conclusion or two on the subject.

One such article from today by Philip Brown at AstroFutureTrends is Thoughts on Saturn in Virgo and the 2008 Election where Philip relates the upcoming visit of Saturn to the modest, fix-it sign of Virgo during the presidential election cycle--a definite must-read!

Nixon's resignation: 33rd anniversary



Thursday, Aug 9 is the 33rd anniversary of Richard Nixon's resignation from the Office of the Presidency.

Here's Nixon's resignation letter sent to Sec of State, Henry Kissinger on Aug 9, if you've never seen it. Someone wrote "11.35 AM" upon it (seems to be initials, "HK") so I'm looking at a chart for Aug 9, 1974, 11:35 am edt, White House.

And here's the Home link to WaterGate info if you want to skip the resignation letter. It has a handy Timeline, and more.


Shouldn't Bush be taking a page from Nixon's White House stationnery by now? you ask.

At Nixon's resignation, tr Saturn (13Can22) was conjunct America's n Sun which represents the leader in a nation's chart. Saturn brings along lessons, accountability, and may bring loss based on past actions which are opened to review. (But Saturn rewards long-term effort where it's deserved!)

With Nixon's n Saturn (27Tau29) in 9th house and n Pluto (28Gem39) in 10th house of Public Status/Career, a fall from grace based on irresponsibility (misuse of authority...Saturn does not like that) and abuse of power within Career (Pluto) wasn't written in stone--our charts are not, y'know--we choose how to use what we were born with--but it would've taken a stronger, more self-aware individual to fight against the temptations of power than Mr. Nixon possessed.

His proud Sun Cap/Moon AQ personality blend gave him a need to always be in control to the point of torment, and much emotional insecurity with a deep fear of rejection. He was deeply suspicious of everyone, as we know, and had an ability for ignoring people and matters which didn't interest him.

His AQ Moon indicates a detached mother, Cap Sun shows an authoritative, perhaps cold, father...not a very cozy childhood, and it's debatable how helpful his early religious training was to him emotionally. He never got over his sense of inferiority--and the only other n planet above the horizon in his birth chart is nebulous Neptune (24Can46) in 11th house of Groups and Associations.

I suppose you could say his secretive, 11th house Neptune 'served' him as he colluded with the White House "plumbers" and their Dem spying/burgling plans which resulted in the Watergate scandal. Of course, the full-of-lies Vietnam War was underneath it all, as the Iraq War is underneath Bush-Cheney's impeachment troubles (among other things--there's much to choose from with this crew, the worst we've ever seen.)

Nixon's Sun/Moon blend's Image:

Having struggled unaided to the peak, a mountaineer hitches a ride on a passing helicopter.

Sounds like his final journey from the White House when it wasn't so certain that he would not be prosecuted. My guess is that he was glad to be saying farewell without a stripedy suit upon his back, and I remember that day, seeing him on TV, saying buh-bye, which brought me to tears.

This sad, pathetic excuse of a president had ruined my favorite city--I lived in D.C. during Watergate, and the pall that Nixon cast over the city hung over us like a wet blanket of corruption. My tears were deeply sad for 'my' beautiful city, but were also tears of relief to see him go.

Buh-bye, indeed, but save your 'victory' signs for something more honorable. (Crooked presidents make me mad-as-a-wet-hen, then as now.)

And so, as Bush-Cheney and their chickenhawk pals weather the storm of distrust they have brought upon themselves--and with America's safety valve of the Impeachment process undermined by the charade that was Bill Clinton's impeachment--Saturn's Return to conjunction with the US n Sun (after nearing it beginning in the second half of Oct 2003) was exact June 10, 2004...therefore, Saturn conjuncted Bush's n Sun in June 2004 as well.

My question is: what are we waiting for?

Aug 3, 2007

a squinty eye on Congress

Because astrologers much prefer to have exact times for setting up charts--whether it's for persons or events--I was happy today to find a Library of Congress website that gives bills, resolutions and their statuses, and the congressional schedule--times noted.

So often we get stuck with "approximately", or "shortly after" the hour, etc...which makes it scintillatingly challenging to use angles, planets, degrees and such to pinpoint a correct time, and all astrologers are accustomed to doing just that esp with rectification work.

Rectifying charts to a correct birth time, for example, while fascinating, is one of the more time-consumimg facets of astrology--how much easier to have the correct time in the first place.

Why no one has given me a heads-up on the existence of this marvelous resource, I don't know, but it should make my charts more accurate as far as congressional shenigans go. Feeling pretty miffed about it, but that will pass...

So...have you met 'Thomas'? Named after Thomas Jefferson, this site has search features for bills, resolutions, for what's happening on the floor NOW--why, it's stunningly helpful for using the time-focused art of astrology.

Thomas.loc.gov is great for when you need to know What, Who, How, and WHEN (it's the Why that remains highly questionable.)

Oh! And Bush signed the new and improved we're-draconian-so-that-you-don't-have-to-be "Homeland Security" bill today. Yippee.

It's more of America's increasing isolation and police state mentality on the way for John Q. Public as the USA's Secondary Progressed Mars Rx focuses inwardly on the Lunar-named "Homeland" for now more than ever their target is We The People.

Besides--Saturn's "Fatherland" was already taken.

35W Bridge Collapse and the YOD in the sky



Yesterday's YOD formation is startingly implicated in last evening's bridge collapse in Minneapolis, MN (6:05 pm CDT), and my heart goes out to my fellow citizens there.

If you're not actually visiting SO'W at this moment, I hope you will do so and take a look at the chart for what's being called a collapse--with Homeland Security's quick-as-bunnies' assessment that the collapse "did not appear to be terroism-related."

That was mighty fast, wasn't it? Almost prescient! A lot like the FBI's pronouncement within hours of Sen. Paul Wellstone's plane crash (Oct 25, 2002) that there was no evidence that the crash had been an act of terroism. But that's a post for another day (see American Assassination, by Jim Fetzer and Four Arrows.)

The crisis-ridden YOD formation with Mercury/Mars (both of which are associated with travel and vehicles) pointing to saboteur and catalyst, Pluto--rising, planet of death and destruction--adds another picture to my mention of the YOD (Rumsfeld defends) of yesterday...

Mercury/Mars = ASC: stormy or turbulent proceedings.

To recap from yesterday...Merc/Mars = Pluto: suffering heavy or bitter attacks or assaults from others.

Tony Snow quickly weighed in on behalf of the White House with helpful finger-pointing toward the bridge's squirreliness:

White House Cites Deficiencies in Bridge which is true, according to the National Bridge Inventory of 2005.

Being of a suspicious nature, it only makes me think that this particular bridge was a good choice for a false flag op. And it was under cosmetic refurbishing at the time, to be sure...another part of a convenient red herring?

Then again, foreign terroists could have read the 2005 Inventory as well. Add the fact that a train was passing underneath the bridge and it seems a good way to deliver the Boom, Boom, Boom which eye-witnesses have reported hearing just before the bridge went down with plumes rising.

HoSec, ahh, HoSec:

Are there links between the bridge collapse catatrophe and the natal chart of the boondoggle aka HoSec?

Too many to mention, but some highlights include:


HoSec Mars conj Bridge MC: action; change of status; responsibility grows.

HoSec Moon (9Leo45) conj Bridge Sun: illuminated achievements.

HoSec Mercury conj Bridge Jupiter (getting ready for his Direct Station in a few days, conj violent Fixed Star, Antares, obsessed with success): travel; legal issues.

This position of Mercury is same as n Mercury of George Bush--and of the Republican Party.

And since the Bridge collapse's 8th house cusp (death; transformation; 7Leo53) has Bush's n ASC upon it--with Sun conj his and R-Party's n Mercury) you may wish to check out my burning bush post on "8Leo" from another degrees interpretation by Adriano Carelli.) These 8-11 degrees of Leo also conjunct perfectly Alberto Gonzales' Leo line-up of planets.


More HoSec hook-ups with current transits:

HoSec MC (goals; ambitions) conj Pluto (actually this is a Pluto conj MC transit): dramatic changes of perspective are practically assured; identity transformation possible; major job adjustments; separation; recognition and the ultimate power position are possible; past mistakes are opened to view and threaten ruin.

The last possibility has been italized by yours truly. (Tyl, midpoint directory.) Wouldn't want it overlooked!

Another transit of great interest to HoSec's natal chart is Pluto opposite n Saturn at IC, the HOW? of the natal chart. Pluto opposite Saturn's control and authority:

Structures and traditions are significantly altered or transfomed (Pluto = transformation) by current circumstances; sacrifice, hard work, and attained seniority (Sat) bring no rewards; attempts to impose authority are met with unwavering resistance. Unwillingness or inability to accept past failures, loss, and disappointments work against one's authority (Instant Horoscope Predictor, Julia Lupton Skalka.)

With the cruel, violent Saturn/Pluto midpoint at MC (Goal; WHY?) as the bridge collapsed, we see:

Sat/Pluto = MC: major separation as a last resort; desire to rise from difficult circumstances through the application of tenacity; severity; one-sidedness.

Also at MC is asteroid, Hidalgo (sorry to note, but this brings in a Latin influence) whose keywords are: expecting to be in control; self-assertion in defense of principles. Foreign terroists--or Gonzo-and-Bush-under-fire and firing back?

So...Saturn/Pluto = Hidalgo, and all are within orb of conjunction with Bush's natal IC, the HOW? Point/Foundation of his birth chart. They've been hanging about his IC for awhile which I thought was interesting, that's all.

And with activist, instigator, and figher Mars conj nasty Fixed Star, Algol these days, there's plenty of violence, murder, and criminality to go around, isn't there?

Pluto rising is snugged about by two more nasty Stars: Aculeus and Acumen. But my typing finger has worn out so I'll save them for another day...hint: they both relate to leadership ability--and to blindness!

Yet I must add at the IC/HOW? Point of the bridge collapse chart, asteroid Cupido, keywords: organization; corporations; the family. Hmmm.

And there's Rx Venus, she of the vengeful nature when riled, conj asteroid Atlantis: abuse or misuse of power; where we feel doomed.

Perhaps you see why I'm suspicious of the whole easy-to-dismiss-as-not-terroism disaster...and why I'm not certain from which quarter our troubles have come.



Note on HoSec + Bridge Collapse Davison Composite Chart: often I use C/Natal or C/Dav charts for events or relationships and keep the results under my babushka. This time it's worth a mention of the date which results from the C/Dav combo (averaging = their relationship.) I tend to read C/Davs as karmic conditions--but in the past-catching-up kind of way--reaping what we sow.

Their combination gives: March 29, 2005...the day Bush nominated Rachel Brand as Asst Atty General, I found after performing a small Googling (and there may be other related events for that date, of course.

A true Bushie, Brand announced her (rather quick) departure from the DOJ on June 29, 2007, effective July 9 just passed. Here's a link to a brief article--esp since Brand has ties with under-serious-fire Gonzales for his underhanded handling of the Justice Dept:

Asst Atty Gen Rachel Brand Announces Departure from DOJ's Office of Legal Policy
