This Week in Congress




Another week in Congress is upon us, so here's the 9:30 am chart.

Rising we see dualistic and often duplicitous Gemini, with contentious, active Mars in Gemini on the rise.

Mercury is Rx, as we know, through most of March, so much review and reconsideration is on the menu, and Mercury at 19Pis56 is in a difficult relationship with the authority of Saturn at the base of the chart. Transit Saturn is still playing about George Bush's natal Ascendant, which is one of the most lowering of transits which we all must face appr every 28-30 years. At this time, it's Bush's turn.

Confused, veiling Neptune is in the most visible 10th house of Career/Public Status--representing obfuscation, illusions, or possibly sacrifice.

Even closer to Mc is wounded Chiron with Venus conjunct at the Medina Degree. (And, of course, the 9th house is connected with Enemies, esp of the foreign variety.) This Chiron/Venus combo now sits upon Bush's natal Descendant of Others/Partnerships...wounded relationships, it seems, including with the Public (7th house = the public, too), and some disillusion or sacrifice in relationships for old George.

The transiting Saturn/Chiron opposition adds to the difficulties of Bush's Saturn-to-Asc transit ongoing...his sense of authority is definitely 'wounded', at least in the Public's eyes...perhaps he should try gazing into them for a change and forget about Putin's baby blues.

Moon, representing females, or the Public or Populace (or as I descriptively call us, The Sheeple) is at 7Vir56, and the Symbol for "8Vir", MEJ version:

"First dancing instruction"> ASSISTANCE...

positive: achievement through a personal competence and a high gift for cooperation;

negative/shadow side: cheerful acceptance of ineptitude. (Well I'm not so cheerful about Washington's ineptitude, are you?)

Here's the personality blend of Sun Pis/Moon Virgo:

Analysis and synthesis; wide-ranging mind; thoughtful; nervous and fretful; ironic; breadth of outlook but good with detail; lofty visions but with practical implementation.

Greatest Weaknesses: overly critical; prone to confuse feelings with rational thinking; perfectionism; heart and mind can complement OR clash.

Images: Small events bring enormous consequences...Faith and reason shake hands...A mosaic picture of the universe, each piece perfect in itself.

And here are a couple of quotes from people who share this personality blend in their natal charts:

"Without forgiveness life is governed by...an endless cycle of resentment and retaliation." --Roberto Assagioli (You'd think the world would've realized this before now, but forgiveness is hard to come by, isn't it?)

"It is well for people who think to change their minds occasionally in order to keep them clean." --Luther Burbank

Forgiveness and mind-changing...two tall orders for This Week in Congress--do you think they're up to either one? Without being accused of weakness or of flip-flopping, that is...but then I'd have to change the title of the chart to This Weak in Congress...doable, but I'd rather not...
