Senate Armed Services Committee faults Bush adm on torture

The Senate Armed Services Committee released a report last evening, April 21, 2009, which faults the Bush administration for authorizing torture techniques.

Former Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld authorized certain methods on Dec 2, 2002, so I took a quick look at that date and found a Grand Trine between Mars, Saturn, and Uranus which gives three midpoint pictures to consider (energies which could have been operative on many levels anywhere on the globe and for anyone, of course - and people chose how to use them), but see if you think any of them apply to the subject at hand...Grand Trine patterns indicate closed circuits of energy:

Mars/Saturn = Uranus: the inclination to apply brute force; the ability to take as well as give under provocation; extraordinary and unusual powers of resistance; the inclination to apply brute force; a nervous test of strength; sudden illness or separation; intervention by a Higher Power; intense drive; breaking loose; gaining independence through struggle.

Mars/Uranus = Saturn: violence; a lack of adaptability; energy concentrated on separation; a heavy injury; operation; violent destruction; a clash between controls and the freest spirit; potential battles and separations; controls cannot be tolerated.

Saturn/Uranus = Mars: an act of violence; the occasionally wrong use of extraordinary energy; undergoing great efforts and toil; a violent or forced release from tensions or strains; challenging others for a decisive contest or fight; deprivation of freedom; injury; accident; tremendous upheaval possible in rebellion, through calamity, overexertion, or anxiety about how things will get on.

About-Face! US' 'Nuclear Posture Review'

In April 2002, expert astrologer Maya del Mar wrote Where Is the U.S. Headed? concerning the US' natal Mars/Neptune square = fantasies of aggression; media glamorizing violence (and Hollywood, too--jc); and the Jan 8, 2002 about-face in nuclear policy titled, the Nuclear Posture Review which was signed by Donald Rumsfeld and surreptitiously delivered to a rubber-stamping, anthrax-threatened Congress.

As Maya points out, this was the very day of the first of tr Mercury's conjunctions to Neptune in Aquarius (first of three.) Then on March 10, the LA Times broke the story, the day that tr Mercury conjoined Uranus in Aquarius--and Pallas Athena (strategy) took Mercury's old place conjunct Neptune.

These Mercury conjunctions in AQ occurred at the time the US' secondary progressed (sec) Sun conj'd US n Moon (27-28 AQ) which began a 360-year cycle of US Aquarian thinking. Mercury describes what's on our minds and with AQ it can be anything from humanitarian and brotherhood issues to weird science and the iciness of space.

Our n Mars/Neptune square has always indicated a tendency toward denial regarding national aggression and it's timely to re-read Maya's thoughts from 2002. The article includes a link to her brilliant Saturn/Pluto articles as well.

America's world domination desires are driving toward the US Pluto Return of 2022 with devouring, nuclear-minded Pluto's power-behind-the-throne reputation--the dragon roars--even from space, so they plan.

Dates of US Pluto Return (27Cap33--Rx natally) based on the US natal 'Sibly' chart of July 4, 1776, 5:10 pm lmt are:

1. Feb 20, 2022

2. July 11, 2022 (Rx)

3. Dec 28, 2022

The Sabian Symbol for "28Cap": "A large aviary"...COMMUNITY...

pos: exceptional success in making all personal concerns a matter of common welfare;

neg/unconscious/shadow side: loss of all character in sheer officiousness.

Will we have character left to lose by 2022? It's only 15 years ahead!

Rumsfeld defends

Today there is a YOD in the sky--a pattern of two planets sextiling one another, in today's case it's Mercury and Mars, and pointing to Pluto, planet of power, manipulation, control, and coping ability.

Donald Rumsfeld is coping by admitting that "errors were made" concerning the fracticide of Pat Tillman and the subsequent cover-up and lies told to the Tillman family.

A YOD formation has an interesting nickname, The Finger of God, and may relate to the silver bookmark used to mark the place for the next reading. A warm Shout-out goes to excellent astrologer Erin Sullivan for this detail.

The sextiling planets form the base of YOD pattern and both are inconjunct (quincunx = 150 degr) the focal/apex planet. It signifies a special purpose or task which is critical (a crisis), and I suppose Rumsfeld comes under that category as the Bush-Cheney disaster of an illegal war must be defended yet again to save the administration's and the Pentagon's oink oink. What else could he do but defend?

The midpoint picture reveals some info with Mercury/Mars being energetic or energized plans, powerful opinionation, and quick repartee, among other things.

Mercury/Mars = Pluto: a sharp analyst (Rummy is known for that); exposure to heavy attacks from others; criticism with a passion; knowing just what's wrong with the world; involved in big arguments.

Today's YOD is affecting more than just Mr. Rumsfeld, of course, but he's the big fish testifying in a big argument, I'd say. He has a Sun/Pluto conjunction natally...he IS Pluto.

Apex Pluto in a YOD formation indicates one who is introspective and tends to become engrossed in complexities. Objectiviy is lacking and his extreme perspective can be out-of-focus with society. Apex Pluto here shows a karmic condition and a new path which must be undertaken--apex Pluto is either abandoned by destined changes, or he must regenerate himself and learn to accept the new conditions.

He is an agent for ushering in a new order and is part of revolutionizing world concepts.

Hmph. I'd been wondering how deeply Rummy was still involved with the global domination agenda.

Rummy: Sep 10, 2001

In his speech to a bunch of war industry reps inside the Pentagon on September 10, 2001, a day-before above many days-before, Donald Rumsfeld told of his plans to hobble, undermine (and otherwise line his pockets with the blood of) the US military.

July 2006, US sec Mars goes Rx (station) and we've seen and heard only a fraction of what this administration has done to the US military while vulturing upon their sense of patriotism in order to profit obscenely bwo war--and from oil booty.

Rummy's friends Cheney, Bush, and others were game as were their shadowy backers. It was a chance for the Robber Barons to bolt back into the saddle again...just kidding...they were never out, just more visible at times--like now.

Jane Smiley's excellent article on HuffPo, Whoops, is just what should be read for a clear assessment on psychopath Rumsfelled, or Rumsfled, as I've cheekily called him before. It's too late to apologize now.
