There's a lot to take in in the following video presentation so I'll keep my comments under wraps until I watch Fall of the Republic again. Included is my old argument on this blog that Rs and Ds are on the same team (and that's what spawns "class warfare" here in America--plutocrats v we-the-people--not the expectation that upper-crusters will pay their fair share of US taxes while all the GOP wishes to do is pretend that the weaker among us are strong enough to shoulder the full weight of the financial burden.
You know, everyone who moseys around the US of A uses our nation's roads, airstrips, and other public transport and infrastructure resources and services. And it takes funding from taxes to keep up the equipment!
To me its seems that if the American people were a herd, Republicans would allow--no, assist--millions of us to be picked off by any predator who comes our hapless way. The more population control, the better for the GOP--crash the joint!
Well, as far as President Obama being in with the 'in crowd' of transnational banksters and other corporatists, we discussed way back when that the transiting Pluto/Chiron midpoint (the 'plutocracy, oppression, disenfranchisement, primal violence' pair) is at Midheaven (The Goal; Aspirations) in the Inauguration 2009 Horoscope of Jan 20, 2009 Noon est Capitol Building.
Plutocrats are lounging around our White House, y'all (stinkin' up the place, imho.) And their total take-over has been a long time coming.
January 20, 2009--September 19, 2011
So now? Now it's 2 years 8 months into Mr. Obama's first term and the Pluto/Chiron midpoint these days hangs about the 3AQ+ area of the Tropical Zodiac--conjunct Inauguration 2009 Jupiter, planet of Bankers, Generals, Mentors, Explorers, Gamblers, Professors, Hierophants, and Gurus everywhere. Seems the Oval Office is a very busy place.
Plus, as you know, Mr. Obama is all about mentors with his natal Chiron in Pisces, and mystical Quests and a Grail, too. In fact, the 'knight in shining armour' archetype isn't far from the glowing aura of Barack Obama, and you know that the Piscean Chiron person may act from a sense of self-sacrifice either consciously or unconsciously, right?
Well, there is more to our complex president, Barack Obama, of course, but really--can't his obvious lean (toward greasing the palms of Wall Street crooks and foreign banks over easing Main Street problems and addressing the lack of US jobs--until now when he has no choice) be described just as well by those two astrological factors as much as by anything else?
Barack Obama August 4, 1961 7:24 pm AHST Honolulu, HI: 1st house Chiron 5Pis19 Rx opposes 7th house Pluto 6Vir59 = "a Seeker whose Quest is to embody, express, and struggle on behalf of archetypal energies seeking to force their way into mass awareness." (R. Nolle.)
Mass awareness. Yes. That'd be us.
But if his Quest includes a one world government, aka, a New World Order, we're in big trouble for Mr. Obama's natal Chiron/Pluto opposition makes him one of them, a plutocrat by nature...unless he chooses to fight them instead.
So being currently in the midst of his 'five-fer' Chiron Return (5 'hits' or conjunctions from Chiron to natal Chiron, a spiritualized or spiritized time around age 50 when our weaknesses appeal to us for close attention and healing), President Obama is walking a very numinous path this year and next so I think he may as well have his 'feet held to the fire', as folk say, simultaneously--by the American people who have as their only advocate an imperfect human being acting archetypally as 'our president', a Seeker along The Path...just as we all are, we spirits having physical experiences on planet Earth.
Yes, we-the-people have always been told that The Power is centered in the White House Oval Office (though it isn't) and since the US Congress seems determined that America should no longer have a functioning Congress, our Chirotic, Pisecean President Obama is all we have at the moment to advocate on our behalves while we're busy being devoured by plutocrats lying in wait like the ravenous wolves they truly are.
So is President Obama a knight? Or the fox?

Pres. Obama turns 50: Chiron Returns but is it a Jubilee Year?
If you've never heard of the tradition of a declaring every 50 years a "Jubilee Year" for the sake of society, I'll direct you to Ray McGovern's article Obama On the Backs of the Poor of August 3, 2011.
'50' is a 5th harmonic number (multiple of 10 x 5 = 50) and has significance to numerologists and astrologers alike, most of whom immediately think of the Chiron Return because Chiron's orbit is approximately of 50 years' duration. This repeats its position by sign, degree, and house in the natal chart, and also reinforces its aspects to other natal planets, both the positive and the negative.
Virgo/Pisces = Victim/Savior Axis; in Pisces, Chiron is in Fall
Even though I've mentioned President Obama's Chiron Return here before, I want to do so again because of what's been going on in Washington DC politics and the victimization issues relating to cutting aid to the poor, elderly, veterans' benefits, education and school lunch programs, and slashing what Republicans call "entitlement programs" which ignores the fact that the programs are paid into for years through taxes--guess we shouldn't have trusted the US government to hold on to our money and dribble it back to us when needed. (Much of recent political rhetoric and actions reminds me of gangs of thieves trying to hide the fact that they've been guilty of stealing our money for years!)
What will happen when the Republicans selected for the 'Super Congress' turn cold shoulders to those in need is anyone's guess (as Rs seem wont to do: what's that oft-used 'Christian Right' political tactic again? Brother's keeper much?) But we know it won't be good and will interfere with our s l o w economic recovery, such as it is, for benefits checks tend to be spent and put back into the economy, as most reasonable people agree.
All six of the GOPers who will 'serve' on the 'Super Committee' (formed so that Congress once again can neglect its sworn duties along with the constitutional oversight function abandoned years ago)--all they have to do to collapse America into chaos is to refuse to compromise by November on the 'cuts' they must choose for the cleaver, and of course, they've already made it plain that tax increases on those who wouldn't miss the money is 'off the table.' So if the 12 of them can't agree in November 2011 on 'cuts', there's our nation's collapse in the making--unless the automatically 'triggered' cuts to the defense budget--said to be significant--holds their little war-mongering hearts in check.
Now I pray it doesn't play out this way for the common good of the American people but really now--given how the Republican--Tea Party operatives have played BHO like a fiddle so far, it's difficult for me to believe that Mr. Obama can possess even a mustard seed of faith that the un-rich among us will be able to celebrate a Jubilee Year by November. A sale on canned cat food may be more what corporate Republicans and their greedy billionaire backers have on the menu for many Americans whom they consider to be beneath them. (In the universal scheme of things, the poor are above the rich but Rs like to ignore Biblical precepts when it's convenient for their massive egos and political agenda.)
News Note: today it is reported that President Obama will take a "listening" tour of the Midwest by bus from August 15--17, 2011. Maybe he'll be soon be renaming it his Earful Tour. Tell 'im like it is, American Midwesterners!
Barack Obama August 4, 1961 7:24 pm AHST Honolulu, Hawaii; Sun Leo/Moon Gemini; Aquarius rising; Scorpio @ Midheaven
As you know, a birthday always brings along a Solar Return horoscope because the Sun returns to the zodiacal position it held at birth, and a personal year begins. Mr. Obama's Solar Return 2011 isn't very impressive to me as far as reaching goals or attaining ego-warming successes but the lunar condition in the chart is a bit lighter and may indicate that he's handling things emotionally (coolly, with SR Moon in Libra) and that his life day-to-day is well cushioned by the White House bubble of affluence and isolation from harsher realities--his Earful Tour notwithstanding.
A well-aspected SR Moon may also indicate that a majority of the American people remain on his side since in Mundane Astrology, Moon = the public and the people--but also publicity.
If you haven't, you may wish to take a peek at the president's Solar Return 2011 chart along with his Secondary Full Moon of November 6, 2011 (both horoscopes shown.)
A Progressed Full Moon (which I abbreviate to 'Sec Full Moon' though many use 'SP'--it's a habit developed to distinguish between Minor and Tertiary Progressions) is a clear sign that a 28-to-30-year cycle of expansion into the world has come to a close and it's time for retraction of one's goals because a pinnacle has been reached. Life goes on, of course, but you know what the US has experienced since its own Sec Full Moon of December 24, 2008 @ 4Vir10...Number One is becoming Number Two, or Three as our nation necessarily retracts. And that Sec Full Moon was across the Victim/Savior axis of Virgo/Pisces, too.
Plus, if you're interested, here's what I wrote a while back about Mr. Obama's natal Chiron and his Chiron Return which includes the 5 dates (yes! his is a five-fer--thankfully, mine was only once) of his Chiron-to-Chiron conjunctions, the first two of which have already occurred. Chiron continues to be front and center for him (and by extension, for the US) into 2012 due to Chiron's penchant for retrogradation.
Water Grand Trines Seek Peace, Safety, and Privacy
Here's a post written on the occasion of Pres. Obama's 49th birthday last year. It focused on his Chiron in mystical Pisces, too, and included the Water Grand Trine of which his questing Chiron is an integral part.
Now in spite of how this post may sound, I'm wishing a Happy Birthday to President Barack Obama. He (and our nation) got a raw deal from his predecessor and his presidency now suffers (Pisces!) from opponents who consider him their enemy, cussedly call him un-American and foreign every chance they get, will do anything it takes to undermine his presidency, and accuse him of being a 'secret Muslim'. Plus--perhaps worst of all--he's a Democrat.
So after all that, plus the debt-deal fight just semi-completed without a US default, I think our 50-year-old President Obama deserves the largest slice of birthday cake his health-conscious wife will allow!

A new source of BPA & Pres Obama's Chiron Return
If like me you fret over contact with the endocrine disrupting chemical BPA (bisphenol A), you'll be disturbed to find that studies show it turning up on 40% of all store receipts thus dangerously contaminating store clerks and the customers they hand receipts to.
This is the chemical that's been poisoning us for years in plastics such as water bottles, in soda cans, and the linings of some baby formulas, etc. And now this.
Has a secret method of BPA delivery been outed? Peep-eye!
"Major retailers using the BPA-containing receipts include McDonald’s, CVS, KFC, Whole Foods, Walmart, and the U.S. Postal Service, according to the EWG research. Safeway was found to have the highest amounts of BPA on their receipts, at a level of up to 41 milligrams."
Safeway! When I lived in DC many moons ago, Safeway was the only place to shop for groceries. And I make a point of shopping at Walmart perhaps twice a year, if that.
With the Big Recession ongoing and more people shopping at 'dollar stores' I wonder if any of them were included in the study? They should have been, imho. Then there's the paper manufacturing industry. How could they be unaware of the hazards?
Well, doesn't this beat all? 'Spend your money with us and we'll send you to the nearest cancer clinic'. Including their own employees! It's no wonder illness is Big Business in America. What a racket.

Oh, and 49th Happy Birthday to President Obama. 49-years-old means his Chiron Return (5Pis19 in 1st house) is on the way and in his case, it's a whopping five-fer:
1. May 21, 2011
2. June 27, 2011
3. Feb 26, 2012
4. Oct 19, 2012
5. Dec 10, 2012
As you see, Mr. Obama's Chiron Return is a long, drawn-out affair and to the extent that he is America's leader, we will experience it along with him.
When a cosmic body returns to natal position, all the aspects in the natal chart are re-emphasized and activated. In Barack Obama's natal chart this includes:
1st house Chiron, Venus (1Can47, 5th h), and Neptune (8Sco36, 9th h) indicates to me quite a mystical personality especially with the midpoint of Jupiter (00AQ52 Rx, 12th h) and Chiron upon his Ascendant...Jup/Chiron = ASC. Now I'm no Chiron aficionado (see Julie Demboski for that) but this midpoint picture describes mystical tendencies, an unconscious inflation, and being swallowed by the unconscious.
Speaking of the last, all US presidents since 1933 have taken their presidential oaths with Fixed Star Menkar rising (14Tau+) for that is what happens in Washington on January 20 in any inaugural year. This relates to Cetus the Whale and the story of Jonah who was swallowed by the whale for not delivering the message required. Guess this plays into the 'propaganda catapulter' role which was so ably described by George Bush when he played president - his own description of what his job as president was.
But back to our current mouthpiece - his Jupiter/Chiron = ASC indicates a receptivity to mysticism for Jupiter is where one feels a resonance with the unknown and the presence of the spirit. In Christianity, this would relate to faith and the Holy Spirit. In mysticism, your guess is as good as mine. And Chiron as the Wounded Healer acts as a Christ archetype in astrology charts - Chiron The Key, Christ the Key to heaven...to paraphrase, "No man comes to the Father but through Me."
Further emphasizing such spiritual tendencies is his Water Grand Trine with mystical Neptune, devoted Venus (conjunct US natal Venus in Cancer), and shaman Chiron. Mr. Obama's natal Jupiter is, as you know, conjunct Inaugural Sun 00AQ+ and in his case, also conjunct that pesky Inaugural 2009 Mercury Rx which influenced a 2nd oath-taking due to Justice John Roberts' flubbing (Rx) of his lines when administering the oath (Mercury.)
Water Grand Trines emphasize the protective, receptive, and protective power of trines in general; a certain tranquility and unrufferability is often seen in the personality (even if cigarette smoking has to calm a restless, nervous Gemini Moon. Not surprising when you're in a position of playing with so many people's lives and futures.) Mr. Cool!
Water Grand Trines give one a talent for responding to subtle undercurrents, great creative talents, excellent powers of detection, and an inner life that seems more numinous and real than an often harsh outer reality.
But the emotional containment suggested by a Water GT makes the individual difficult to know well and my suspicion is that it plays into America's easy bamboozlement during the 2008 campaign for our national Neptune, planet of veils and deceptions, conjoins Mr. Obama's natal Mars, his action-desire principle. This contact between us also describes what was called his 'Rock Star' status early on (glamorous Mars-Neptune), and makes understanding his motivations and actions as president difficult, if not impossible, for we-the-people to detect or understand.
Yet when we consider the 5 dates of the President's Chiron Return stretching into 2012, I suspect we will begin to understand more fully what truly motivates our mystical President Obama.
So Happy 49th Birthday, Mr. President. For your 50th, you'll be in the mystical midst of a very l o n g Chiron Return - and taking America along on the journey.
