This morning President Bush engaged in a "dueling press conference", and here you see the chart.
WHAT/Asc: 17Gem55 = the Venus Occultation degree which occurred during the G-8 Summit on Sea Island, Ga, June, 2004--"18Gem": "Two Chinese men converse in their native tongue in an American city." Venus Occultations involve the beginning of unusual and often unsuspected associations.
Keynote: The need for the mind to retain its independence from its physical environment in order to concentrate on its special problems. This refers to living "in the world" but not being "of the world." INSULATION...here and there he finds those who understand him.
Mars has just arisen, "17Gem" = "The head of a robust youth changes into that of a mature thinker." (He did seem nervous, irritable, and angry...no one is supposed to question Leo, the king.) Plus, Mars is the 'robust' planet, Gemini the sign of 'thinking.'
If I could trust a man who likes to say, Trust Me--which my Mama always told me was a dumb idea--I'd say it's time to get off his back about Iraq and let's see if it helps the situation. Wish I could trust him, but...
...there's deceptive, delusionary Neptune near the top of the chart at the Mc/Aspirations/WHY point. Neptune is just passed the Unmasking degree (but will return to it soon), and represents liquids, such as oil and gas...now at
"19AQ" = "A forest fire is being subdued by the use of water, chemicals, and sheer muscular energy."
Keynote: The skill and courage necessary to bring under control the destructive potential of carelessness of karmic "visitations."
This refers to having to face spectacular reactions to seemingly insignificant acts as a means to test one's strength, ingenuity, or emotional stability. Every faculty at his diposal must be made use of--emotional, mental, physical. He needs faith in himself and in superior powers.
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.
Chart-ruler, Mercury, is Rx in Pisces--vacillations in thinking and decision-making, and biased by unconscious emotional patterns. A Piscean Mercury can also be telepathic, tuning into the thoughts and moods of those in the environment. Rx indicates a restating, a reiterating (yep and yep), and review of one's thinking.
His testy, "royal" interruptions of reporters' interruptions might be described by this Rx, too.
>>Two of my faves of his statements this morning, the first in answer to Helen Thomas: "No president wants war", and on Iran..."This is a country that's walking away from international accords."
The first one seems false in his case, and the second...hypocritical to the nth degree. And his "Rummy shouldn't resign" was predictable when you consider that Bush and Cheney would be next--since they made their bad decisions all together in a cabalistic wump.<<
>><<>>Midpoint pictures at the end of this "War creates trauma"!! press conference (10:58 am):
Pluto/Asc = Sun (emphasized at Aries Point): ruthless conduct toward people in the environment (ask Helen Thomas); attaining respect.
Moon/Mars = Mercury: easy irritability; nervousness; premature criticism.
Moon/Mars = Uranus: quick irritability; violent temper; hitting back at once under provocation.
At the close of the theatrics, Uranus, the rebel, was at Mc, Bush's natal Mars was at the IC/foundation of the chart: "10Vir": "Two heads..." of yesterday's post below, and rising degree, 1Can48. Looking at the Sabian Symbol (DR) for
"1Can" = "On a ship the sailors lower an old flag and raise a new one."
Keynote: A radical change of allegiance exteriorized in a symbolical act: a point of no return. REORIENTATION> this refers to the collective eventually overcoming the individual, and the state overpowering the person. In a decisive act heavy with consequences, the symbolic college-youth might realize that he should bring to an end his quest...he exults in his ability to make a "free decision."
Or perhaps more to the point is "2Can":
"A man on a magic carpet hovers over a large area of land."
Keynote: The ability to expand one's consciousness by stabilizing one's point of view at a higher level.
This refers to the mind which can raise its point of observation and see reality in a truer perspective. One gains ELEVATION in the third dimension of consciousness.
Well, that's Mr Optimism for ya...living in the third dimension where "War is trauma"--duh--and Saddam "chose not to work with inspectors."
Mr President, Saddam had nothing to hide. Again, a la Ms Thomas: really--WHY did you want to go to war?

ps: forgot to mention the "dueling" aspect can be described by Mars (Bush) opposite Moon (Helen Thomas, as well as The Public, but since Bush and Thomas squared off, it well-describes the venerable reporter) and, of course, he didn't really answer her question, did he?)
