Here's the Spring Equinox chart--new beginnings and all--set for the White House, with the Sun reaching 00Aries00...the Aries Point, a point of world events.
I'm sure your eagle-eye is arrested by Rx Saturn rising, with President Bush's natal ASC in tow...his 'joy' continues...and sadly, since the leader represents the nation, ours will, too.
Ceres, the Mother, is conjunct Chiron = Wounded Mother. They seem to follow him around, don't they? In this chart, they're opposite tr Saturn/natal ASC...a Monday I wouldn't wish on a dog, unless it were a thieving, sniveling, bully who deserves the world's condemnation. Then, I'd have to think about it for a second.

><><>2nd Update>Monday 3.20: Almost forgot this gem...Saturn lately has been in and out of a Quindecile aspect with Neptune. Quindecile (165 deg) is an obsessive-compulsive aspect, and the following will sound very familiar to ya:
Saturn QD Neptune: deception present in societal leadership (whaa-a-a-a...?); old systems may be dissolved by idealisms; rigid structures may dissappear (as in levees, too); dreams can become real under this aspect, and compassion may merge with authority.
That last seems more of "an Appearance of compassion may merge with authority" when you consider "compassionate conservatism"--oh wait!--they've all but abandoned that little ruse, haven't they? Must've left it in a flooded attic somewhere...
Update>Saturday, 3.18.06:
Chart-ruler, Sun in Aries/Moon in Sag blend is the same as previous post of March 16 for the Iraq War's 3rd anniversary. But add this info for the FIRE Grand Trine:
Sun/Moon = Saturn> renunciation: separation; difficulties in relationships; addressing problems; weakened system.
Sun/Saturn = Moon> loneliness; separation from females; feeling inferior; fearful.
Moon/Saturn = Sun> separation; suffering; the separated wife; the widow; self-control; prevailing mood influences the body constantly; feeling of enforced controls; sobering times.
A FIRE Grand Trine is creative and full of inspirational power, and although visionary ability is emphasized, so too is the sense of personal significance and power. This manifests as excessive self-pride and egotism.
There's a natural adventurous streak which allows risks and gambles to be taken with little forethought. (Well, things must be pretty desperate around the White House these days...but it's their habit of causing others so much misery and loss that gets my little pet goat.)
The FIRE Grand Trine person tends to believe he has 'individual privilege' and should be able to express himself without interference from anyone--the environment should be ready at a moment's notice to fulfill his immediate needs without resistance or hesitation.
He demands loyalty (FIRE being the element of royalty), and his faith in himself and his sense of personal protection from harm gives an ingrained eagerness to attempt anything in complete disregard of impossible odds. He expects service and may be emotionally unaffected or even oblivious to others' personal needs.
Well, that's enough o'that.
One midpoint picture of interest since the Sun at Aries Point (AP) is the focal planet:
Uranus/Mc = Sun> unrest; nervous drive; easy to anger; lack of self-control; an excitable man; getting what one deserves (that'd be good); eagerness for achievement.
(The combo of Uranus/Mc can indicate major adjustment in the Career--Tyl, but also the "power of assertion"--Ebertin.)
>>An ongoing midpoint pic these days which is still in force:
Neptune/North Node = Uranus> self-willed motives disrupt group ideas; becoming upset over the anti-social conduct of others; sudden undermining or destruction of relationships.<<
At the base or foundation* of the chart we see "18Lib": "Two men placed under arrest." This is Bush's natal Jupiter degree...CONSEQUENCE>
pos: a heightened challenge to every special talent (Mr Optimism, lover of the Jupiter Mantra--"every day in every way I'm getting better and better);
neg/shadow side: total inappropriateness of impulse and act. (MEJ version.)
The Rudhyar version gives: FACING THE CONSEQUENCES> keynote: a breakdown** in the constructive relationship between the individual and society, and the expectable result.
Or, if you prefer "19Lib": "A gang of robbers in hiding"> GROUP PROTEST> keynote: Protest against disharmonic social privileges. (Rudhyar cites here "the early Bolsheviks in Russia robbing banks to finance the revolution." Sounds familiar.)
With all the protests happening this weekend, "19Lib" seems especially appropriate.
In fact, I'd like to protest the gang of robbers in Washington!
Transit Atlantis (sense of doom; abuse of power), an asteroid often active in mundane/political charts as you might expect, is in 10th house, and conjunct Bush's natal MC.
Atlantis 23Ari23, "24Ari": "An open window and a net curtain blowing into a cornucopia"> MUNIFICENCE>
pos: an irrepressible genius for capturing the richer rewards of life and providing a wider distribution for the higher realities;
neg/shadow side: a smug and petty self-importance in dispensing favors to others.
(This may underscore the FIRE Grand Trine cited above.)
Well, it looks like a busy Spring at the White House (and elsewhere, since Bush has no corner on the robbers' market), so let's close with the Sabian Synbol for the Moon--the Public or Populace, and using "6Sag":
"A game of cricket": keynote> The development of skill in group situations testing collective goals. This refers to the "value of making individual-will or ego-will subservient to collective cultural patterns, and to the importance of developing GROUP SOLIDARITY.
They've long-since **united against the individual--our power lies in uniting ourselves against sucky world leaders who care not a crap for us.
So if you can't march--sign a petition today-->sign several, 'cos they're out there!

*Also at the foundation of the chart is the Part of Death, which is notoriously difficult to predict, so I'm not...I'm just sayin'.
