Dems' Unity Tour kick-off today

For some off-the-cuff astrological remarks on today's Unity Tour kick-off rally in Unity, New Hampshire, please see Barack and Hillary rally in Unity.

It's unity in Unity for the Democratic Party along with campaign debt relief for the suspended Clinton campaign--but it's political thespian Barack Obama appearing as Mr. Excitement that makes the day for the rallying crowd!

baby by by: Hillary bows to superior mojo

Hillary backs out at noon June 7 is a Page I've set up with astrological notes on Hillary Clinton's failure to capture the collective imagination enough to be the next globalist New Millennialist shill.

Now you'll find a smidge of Obama Astrology in the article yet with no direct mention of that skewed view of the New Millennium (on their side or ours)--but you know I'm thinkin' it.

Sheesh! hearing her noon rally's audience's cheers makes me miss living in DC!

The article is mainly concerned with today's transit of restrictive Saturn and Neptune's eventual conjunction with her n MC, so I hope you'll get some kind of info out of it, but first...

you must click!

Limericking Obama

Why limerick yesterday's apparent delegate winner of the Dem primary race? And you have every right to ask.

Well, I'm only the typist over at Lim's Limericks but if you'd care to slink over you'll find a new political limerick from Mr.A.Cat, an agent formerly in service to our nation (and whose whereabouts remain unknown so don't even ask.)

Plus, you'll see a photo of the infamous Lim doing what he does so well and so often.

So why fight it? Prez Cat Takes Montana! may be your destiny so please have your best rhymery groans handy!

June 3 New Moon: last of the primaries

On June 3, mercifully the day of the last of the Democratic primaries, a new cycle begins with a New Moon 13Gem34, at 3:22 pm edt.

This New Moon chart is set for the White House, the place they all want to be when the super delegates get done deciding who the next civilian commander will be.

And synchronistically enough, this is termed a 'Super Moon' because it will have more than the usual effect on tides, tectonic plates, and weather patterns, so natural disasters (already on the increase) may unfortunately come again to call.

Point your mouse in any direction and you'll find many articles online about this New Moon's degree ("14Gem"..."A Conversation by Telepathy") so I'll simply give the more hidden part of the Jones version for this Sabian Symbol because he includes the negative implications for each degree--and we are looking toward the DC swamp with its white lodge for inspiration...

neg/unconscious/shadow side: attempted accomplishment through innuendo or underhanded means.

Kind of describes a US presidential campaign in general, doesn't it? And the practice of Politics in particular. But on another level it may describe a new phase of the Clintons' relationship after Hillary drops out, if she will (Sun = male, Moon = female.)

Yet telepathy has a ring of ESP to it so if you're of that clairvoyant persuasion, keep closer tabs than usual on your dreams in June and risk following your hunches.

Well, hopefully you can read my scribbles on the chart if you click to enlarge it, so I'll not repeat myself in this text.

~~And after hearing of another fatal crane "accident" (if indeed they are so) in New York City today, I'm in a sad mood for the families involved and for the city I've not spent much time in, but love as much as the next gal.~~

As you know, New Moons perfect their activities at the next Full Moon and in this case that will be on June 18 at 27Sag52, 1:30 pm edt. Will Hillary last until then? Or even triumph? The Full Moon's Sun position will conjunct her natal Uranus, planet of disruptions and separations.

Sun to natal Uranus is a time of quirkiness within organizations and groups--it's difficult to go with the flow.

However, there are benefits if you can manage it, yet Hillary's character is often of the 'too much combative energy to fit teamwork requirements easily' variety although I think she's been trying in recent years while in the Senate.

Sun-to-Uranus may also cause her unique qualities to become more valuable to others and a leadership role is not out of the question...not based on this transit anyway.

By the Full Moon of June 18, Pluto will have backed his way into Sagittarius again.

Moon/Pluto contacts tend toward 'publicity and mass appeals' an influence which makes me think of John McCain's Moon/Pluto opposition conjunct US natal Pluto.

The June 18 Full Moon has Sun at 27Gem50 and "28Gem" is the degree of Bankruptcy. Perhaps there will be news from the near-broke campaign coffers for McCain--or for Hillary if she and Bill are still in the running a la super delegate support.

Moon/Pluto contacts may also indicate dealing with death matters, propaganda issues, or psychologically-based problems such as primal rage.

Now after studying the charts for tomorrow evening's DNC "Unity Dinner" in Manhattan, Clinton's chances, while not impossible, seem quite far-fetched to this reluctant astrologer's sleepy peepers.

Then there's determined Bill saying again today that Hillary is "winning" but you know Bill has never appreciated being fact-checked. Perhaps it depends on what the meaning of the word winning is.

Yawn.

Well, I did say the June 3 New Moon marks the end of the Democratic primaries...mercifully.

more on Inauguration 2009's horoscope

It was time for an update of my WordPress Page on the noon chart for Inauguration 2009 so I've added details on a few synchronistic historical links which will occur between Jan 20, 2009 and 1748 here if you'd like to mosey by for a visit.

And have you heard of former counter-terroism chief Richard Clarke's new book, Your Government Failed You...?

Clarke will be interviewed on NPR's Fresh Air tomorrow (edt schedule--check your local listings) so I may have to check it out. I only hope Clarke's book tells us Stuff We Don't Already Know--unlike Scott McClellan's new Bush-bashing book which so far gives me that 'NOW he tells us' feeling...how about you?

One thing's for sure--I somewhat have to agree with Karl Rove for once: McClellan didn't criticise the war while he was working in the White House (paycheck in danger, Will Robinson, back away.)

Ugh. I just realized I agree with Karl Rove on something, pathetic defense though it may be for an administration's many lies, frauds, and self-willedness.

And both these books may secretly be backhanded ways of promoting propaganda as if anything ever happens in Politics that wasn't designed to happen...misdirected, ill-waged wars included.

Guess the Plame Flame continues scorching their sorry patooties just a little, doesn't it?

Grilled Butt of Rove for my July 4 picnic? No thanks, I'm veggan, but thanks anyway for offering.

May 26: Mercury Rx's effects on Clinton's campaign

Perhaps you'd be interested in reading a Page published today concerning the current Mercury Rx 21Gem23 and its place within and effects upon Hillary Clinton's horoscope and candidacy over at Jude's Threshold.

The Celtic horse goddess Macha may be involved from the constellation Auriga, the Charioteer, along with the senator's 12th house of secrets!

Is voting in November a waste of your time?

For Profit

By Malcolm Martin

The US government has been hollowed out during the rise to absolute power of the corporations. Elections have become an elaborate "reality show" that plays out on corporate television for viewers' entertainment.#

~~:~~

Yeah, political theater, dahlink...that's what I thought.

State + corporations = fascism.

Will we be put at pains to trade in dollars for an 'amero' currency by 2010? And will it have a 'phoenix' emblazoned upon it?

In July and August of 2007, when the global-elitist-orchestrated "credit crunch" began, Mars had been visiting the degree of the Great Conjunction of Jupiter and Saturn (the two societal planets--Jupiter = expansion, Saturn = restriction and control) at 23Taurus.

Their conjunction was exact on May 28, 2000, when globalist plans for a one-world government really kicked into high gear in expectation of seeding or impregnating the New Millennium with nation-state dissolution and the ruin of the US dollar leading to world financial collapse and the chaos they need for their fatheaded plan to succeed.

And prior to that was the conjunction of Pluto with Chiron, the plutocrat-corporatism-racism-sexism-oppression-violence pair on Dec 30, 1999 which conjoined the 12Sag Ascendant of the US natal chart ('Sibly' version: July 4, 1776, 5:10 pm LMT. Even stronger is their parallel in mid-August, 2004.)

The New Millennium was the watershed moment:

You can ask George, Dick, John, Bill, and Hillary--they were there along with other 'world-server' cronies of the elitist persuasion. And please include Bush Sr, the new world order chanticleer of the late 80s and early 90s.

The midpoint picture in summer of 2007 created by transiting Mars with 2000's Great Conjunction might further explain...

Jupiter/Saturn = Mars: the desire to enforce changes of circumstances and conditions in life; separations; ambition emerges out of discontent; feeling unrewarded and making a change; not wanting to toe the line.

If "the line" is the border (s) of the United States, and the "enforced changes" are what the nation is seeing now with unstable banks, squirrelly stock markets, irredeemable debt, and our devalued dollar--in other words, a world economic meltdown, we'd better be welcoming ourselves to the new world order.

Now it's 2008, and it isn't on America's doorstep--it's in the hall taking off its helmet and sitting down to dine on our children's and grandchildren's futures.

So if we think that the Sibly chart (one of many proposed birth charts for our nation) is a correct chart to use for America'a birth, then the Sabian Symbol should relate to the above situations...but does it?

Rudhyar, whose version uses the same ASC degree, says 12Sag = "A Flag Turning into an Eagle That Crows"...ANUNCIATION...

Keynote: The spiritualization and promotion of great symbols of a New Age by minds sensitive to its precursory manifestation.

Oh, their pretty minds are great all right.


As Rudhyar goes on to explain...

In the background of this strange allegory we can recognize the deep-seated belief that the American nation and its basic democratic institutions were constituted to be the cradle for a new step in human evolution.

The "flag" is the abstract symbol of the nation; it becomes an "eagle"--another US symbol--when the concept is made alive by bold and transcendent action.

The eagle synbolizes spiritual will and the power to rise to the highest possible altitude of consciousness and purpose. Flying at such an altitude, the eagle is the first living creature to perceive the rising sun.

Having perceived it, it heralds it--and by so doing is identified with the crowing chanticleer, who had convinced himself his resonant cry was responsible for the rise of the sun and coming of a new day.


So the new world government is being burped in the cradle of America.

This means that the next presidency really isn't of such importance because America faces so many "dire problems" as the media and the candidates commonly expound in the current campaign, but because the clincher of amero acceptance, and the further dissolving of America's sovereignty is timed for the next few years which include the mouthpiece presidency of the next "winner" whose rhetoric, it is believed by the globalists, will go down the collective gob of the populace the easiest like the sugar pill it is.

It breaks my heart to say it, but our "voting" has so little to do with the election's outcome or with America's "direction," that its exercise would be laughable if our situation weren't so dire, and I don't believe America will be getting any better with the panacea of a Democratic presidency or the tragic illusions of a neocon shill.

VP search: political musings for the week

Summer is upon us, it's Memorial Day weekend, and I've been blurbing and musing on 2008's presidential candidates and the required search for a VP candidate to share the ticket: VP search: too many senators has a few points I've been pondering this week concerning senatorial egos, piggish governors, Obama's Israel shout-out, and Hillary's crystal ball for June horrors, among other things.

Last here on May 21, the two-tiered interweb (thanks, TV's Craig Ferguson!) is continuing to be problematic for it seems I'm allowed into this blog on alternate days at best, or every three or four days more annoyingly and my 'real world' schedule must often take precedence over creaky page-loading.

But I love my Stars Over Washington blog, so please don't think I diss if I'm absent awhile, okay? Blogging has become quite a struggle on Turtle Lane.

And sometimes my blog on WordPress navigates more easily, so you may find me there instead. If you follow the above link you'll also find articles on the natal charts of TV's Craig Ferguson, chanteuse Amy Winehouse, and master artist Edgar Degas sprinkled amongst the politics.

That's because Jude's Threshold is meant to be a hodge podge of Art, Astrology, and Politics...a veritable tapestry of creativity and societal concerns stretched upon a loom of Astrology.

Perhaps it's a good mix, but as you know, the clunker in the happy blend is none other than Politics, that system of organized hatreds which ruins most of what it touches while lying to our collective face in order to cover its fallibility and pocket-lining.

We could put it down to human nature, but these critters, vermin, and crooks imagine themselves to be above the rest of us on the evolutionary ladder along with their elite societal status...because they confuse wealth of money with wealth of character.

And Scripture says it's easier for a camel to pass through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter the kingdom of God. So that settles that, doesn't it?

Now this reminds me of the Sabian Symbol for "25Leo"..."A large camel crossing the desert"...ADEQUACY...

pos: uncompromising persistence and uncomplaining self-expenditure in any course to be followed;

neg/unconscious/shadow side: ruthlessness in an unintelligent self-interest.


But what would Washington be without its unintelligent self-interest?

(The Sabian Symbols in Astrology, Dr. Mark Edmund Jones.)

Hillary hearts the NWO

Dost Thou Harken to Hillary? is a just-published post at Jude's Threshold which comes as close to summing up my political laments for America's sake as any I have previously written.

Some of my blab is based on misgivings about a Hillary Clinton presidency which are laid out, in large measure, by an article in The Nation from Oct-Nov, 2007. You've probably read it, but if not, here's its link:

Hillary's Mystery Money Men which concerns Harken chairman Alan Quasha who "helped make Bush" and now lurks within the Clinton camp.

If you're planning to vote for a global elitist (and that's all we have available), you may as well meet some of their shadowy financial backers skulking behind the scenes and tinkering with America.

Letterman on Hillary's debt

Frisky Dave Letterman just said that with Hillary's campaign being $20 million in debt, "now, when Hillary gets that call at 3 am, it'll be a collection agency."

Good one, Dave.

And I'd add that since it may be a company she holds stock in, isn't it like calling yourself?

IN and NC primaries today

Although I've been inexplicably reticent this week to publish anything much on today's record breaking turn out in the Indiana and North Carolina primaries, you'll find a bit of astrological info at Jude's Threshold, if you wish. It's a brief post so it won't take you long to check it out.

You know I don't call myself a reluctant astrologer for nuthin'!

Aquarid meteors, the Moon, and the Dem nominee

Oops! this alert is a day late, but timely for Tuesday--

Space Weather News for May 4, 2008

ETA AQUARID METEOR SHOWER: If you see a meteor flit across the sky tonight, it could be a piece of Halley's Comet. Earth is crossing a stream of dusty debris from Halley and this is causing the annual eta Aquarid meteor shower. Sky watchers in the tropics and southern hemisphere (where the shower is most intense) could see as many as 70 meteors per hour during the dark hours before dawn on Monday, May 5, and Tuesday, May 6.

The show is diminished at northern latitudes where rates may be 15 meteors per hour or less. Check SpaceWeather.com for sky maps and more information.

MERCURY AND THE MOON: Innermost planet Mercury is emerging from the glare of the sun and putting on its best show of the year. A good time to look is Tuesday evening, May 6, just after sunset when the crescent Moon glides by Mercury in the darkening western sky.

A sky map and photos are available at SpaceWeather.#

~~:~~

With today's New Moon in Taurus (15:22) on the downside by Tuesday, a new cycle of activity is underway and will culminate with the Full Moon of May 19, 29Sco27.

And May 19's Full Moon is at the same degree as Jan 2009's Inaugural Moon, so perhaps Dem nominee results will be known or decided by then, although June has been mentioned in this regard.

Is it possible that someone will know the nom's identity in May, but not spill the beans until June? Timing really is everything, just ask Astrology.

Will Tuesday's 'Primary' Moon (a woman) "glide by" Mercury, the orator, inside the voting booths of Indiana and North Carolina's "darkened skies"?

Stay tuned "just after sunset" to find out--and look up, m'peops, look up!

Barack Obama's Jupiter in Aquarius

Here's a post on Senator Obama's Jupiter in Aquarius which you may find of interest.

Shared by Albert Einstein and Walt Whitman, this is an intellectual and curious placement for expansive Jupiter and often draws its native toward working for the collective.

Plus, Obama's Jupiter-Saturn conjunction is helpful for those with political aspirations and seems to have been of benefit to him so far!

fretting over McCain's Moon/Pluto opposition?

So am I.

Which is why I got my busy on, did some chart investigation, and published a few plutonic details on the potentials of a McCain presidency with an uh oh on my lips and a "not again" in my heart.

Your own insightful comments on the subject would be much appreciated either here or on Jude's Threshold, linked above.

John Abyss McCain is howling outside America's door...what will you do, if anything, to turn him and his raging Moon away?

Clinton vs Obama: the charade will be televised

As usual, they're calling it a debate which is always a debateable term to use for political performances. That grouse out of the way, let's consider the horoscope of tonight's event, chart set for Philadelphia, PA, 8:00 pm edt, April 16, 2008.

Rising 2Sco05 is Hillary's natal Sun! But rising along with it (and of late it's been bedeviling her off and on) is transiting Saturn/Pluto midpoint...

Saturn/Pluto = Sun: threat of loss; hard work; enforced change; potential ill health (or mention of healthcare initiatives?); physical toil and over-exertionl; sparing no pians in one's work; renunciation; privation; a physical separation.

Saturn/Pluto = ASC: placed in cumbersome and difficult circumstances; separation; mourning and bereavement; sadness. (Tyl; Ebertin.)

~~Midpoint pictures may manifest in an 'all, either, or none' fashion.~~

Of course, the combo of Saturn/Pluto relates to violent people, adepts, magicians, extremely self-disciplined people, fanatical adherence to one's principles, and martyrdom (Ebertin.)

Will Hillary-as-leader be martyred to the one world government she so wants to water with tender loving care? She's waited so long! If so, it's because someone else has been determined to be the one the masses will listen to the best--at least at first.

And once their chosen shill moves into the White House, it's become impossible to squeeze the varmint out, as we've seen.


At Mc, the Goal Point of the chart, is 7Leo55 with "8Leo" being the "A Bolshevik Propagandist" degree, or as Dane Rudhyar puts it in his 'An Astrological Mandala'..."A Communist Activist Spreading His Revolutionary Ideals." This is George Bush's natal Ascendant degree, as you know--so Jupiter/Neptune opposes his natal ASC...

Jupiter/Neptune = ASC: appearing to live in a world lighted by personal imagination and an emotionally rationalized agenda; sharing great hopes with others; speculation.

(The Jupiter/Neptune combo has spiritual links--the Pope's visit; and to idealism, feeling special, and to tricky legalisms.) (Tyl.)

At Ic, the Foundation of the chart and of tonight's event, is the midpoint of Jupiter/Neptune so we have...

Jupiter/Neptune = Mc: a visionary; a spendthrift, wastrel, or squanderer; a fortune-hunter; a speculator; harm or damage through thoughtlessness.

Sounds like Bush, Cheney, and their war to me, and it's sure to be a topic tonight. But of course, members of Congress are invested in the war as well and making a...killing, one assumes, so little will be done on that score--it's too profitable for Washington and for the war's behind-the-scenes promoters.

Well, Mars is still out-of-bounds for a while longer at 18Can14, 9th house, and opposing Jupiter 21Cap36, so money for the Iraq Occupation must surely be on the Dems' topic menu along with US economic concerns (of The People--the elite ruling class is doing excellently, thanks.)

Chart-ruler Mars is applying to an inconjunct (or 'quincunx'--165 degrees = adjustment) to Chiron (2A08), a helpful trine to Uranus (2A32), and an opposition to Jupiter (3A20.)

According to Frances Sakoian, the Mars/Jupiter opposition is the soldier of fortune aspect and describes those who are extravagant--especially with other people's money. Ain't that just like a politician?!

Boasting, overestimation of abilities, and crusades which promote personal material interests are part of a Mars/Jupiter opposition, along with aggressive opinionation which can antagonize others. Speculation is not advised when Mars opposes Jupiter, natally or in transit.

An angry Hillary Clinton may be disappointed and disillusioned this evening as Mars makes his final applying aspect, a square to Lady Venus, but Barack Obama may induce "A Large and Disappointed Audience" for the Sun 27Ari22 and orator Mercury 28Ari08 are snugged around this degree's symbol.

Rudhyar: "Great hopes, excited expectations cannot be sustained. The manner in which (the situation) is met determines the individual's future possibilites of development and achievement."

He goes on: "There is a need here to be more than 'possessed by potentialities'...mankind as a whole will be affected...(there should be a) sense of RESPONSIBILITY for what one's actions will produce in people who have been made to expect significant results."

Lowered expectations, America? Do you think the change a new president represents will bring practical improvements? Hope so, but it's difficult for me to agree because America is being turned into a totalitarian police state. Can one mere president--and a black one at that--go against such a high and mighty group agenda?

And yet this evening's 'debate' begins with a lovely Mystic Rectangle ('practical mysticism'--this pattern also relates to the Pope in-the-house tonight) between Moon, Jupiter, Mars, and Uranus.

Another planetary pattern in play tonight is: Sun, Mercury, Saturn, Pluto in a high-flying Kite pattern pointing to the Ascendant and thus to Hillary's natal Sun.

The Kite's 'tail' is Sun conj Mercury which I believe represents Senator Obama and indicates a tendency toward stark realism when blended with Saturn/Pluto. Let's see if Obama gives hints of such by mentioning 'realism' in some way.

Moon (a woman; the public; publicity) is in the sign of health and dedicated service at 18Vir28, in 11th house of Hopes, Wishes, and Group Associations. Rudhyar gives the Sabian Symbol for "19Vir" as:

"A Swimming Race"...keynote: The stimulation that comes from a group effort toward a spiritual goal.

...What is needed is EMULATION, not competition."


Hopefully, the Dems will quit giving the opposition--the Rs--ammunition. We'll see how Hillary and Barack compete tonight--if one assumes that the nom decision--and even the prez decision--aren't already in the bag. It should be an entertaining show at the least.

After all, the 'elites' are all on the same side against the masses--and working for the establishment of their vision of a one world government, so political performances are a necessary part of the charade...for now.

Yep, their vision is our nightmare and we may as well be realistic about it. So let tonight's public relations effort for White House top shill begin!

McCain's Progressed chart: April 2008

The Secondary Progressions of Senator John McCain are viewable here if you have a moment. There's some interesting timing going on now with McCain so I've set his Secondary Progressed chart for April 2008. Have a sneaky peek!

You'll find that his Natal chart is there as well in the sidebar as a separate Page.

Now let's see: born Aug 29, 1936...2008 minus 1936...yep, McCain will be 72 this August, and sometimes the 72nd year brings a new chance to show one's talents...uh oh.

Got Hillary illusions?

Yes, I'm a couple of days late with this heads-up, but if you've missed it and you've got illusions of Hillary's viability for the Dem nom, read Chip Collis' article debunking Hillary myths...no matter how angrily red-faced Bill wags his finger at super delegates.

And you may wish to check out my continuing series, Wedding Day Astrology, on the weddings'n'marriages of the Clintons, McCains, and Obamas at Jude's Threshold where the tent flap of luv has the inquiring camel's nose poked right in!

The Clinton's Wedding Day: Oct 11, 1975

Rodham, Clinton, whatever you call her, presidential candidate Hillary R. Clinton married William Jefferson Clinton 32+ years ago...for better or worse:

Here are a few notes on their wedding day astrology.
