Is your North Node in Taurus?

Some of us, this reluctant astrologer included, were born with a Taurean North Node, so if your NN is in Taurus, have I got a blog for you:

North Node Astrology is written by Jungian astrologer, Elizabeth Spring, and has great info on NN in Taurus as well as on others. South Node details are, of course, included so take a peek if you haven't found Elizabeth's blog before this moment!

As previously stated here, I see heredity and ancestry where many others see past lives which means that to me, SN issues come through the generations of my ancestry...which includes family shadows and family myths. It's the unfinished business of our ancestors and we may feel compelled to 'tidy up' in our lifetimes.

Yet I find Elizabeth's writing on the Nodal Axis illuminating and useful all the same and you will, too.

In fact, many astrologers consider the NN to be the most important point in the natal chart, and much about one's life mission may be gleaned from NN, SN, and Sun positions when taken together.

And with the recent move from Pisces into Aquarius of the transiting NN, our collective path has now switched from the victim-savior/pragmatist-mystic axis of Pisces into the Aquarian humanitarian-egoist influence where it will remain through the 2008 campaign, and will reach 9AQ20 by Inauguration Day 2009.

This tells us that America will be experiencing her Nodal Half-Return (NN to SN, SN to NN) in April 2009 (True Node) which is a time of separation in relationships and associations--at least in those that are not strong enough to withstand the separative influence of the Saturnian SN.

If associations do withstand the Half-Return they are strengthened in some way, but since Bush & Co already have the US virtually standing alone in the world, keep your eye peeled for April 2009 and thereafter.

Therefore, 9Leo20 puts tr SN conjunct the natal Mercuries of George Bush and the GOP (which are conj at 9Leo+, along with Al Gonzales' Mercury) on Jan 20, 2009 and is part of the reason why I must wonder if a Republican will be ensconced once again in the White House come Jan 20, 2009 (surely not a Bush again.)

But more more on that another day...we're in for a long siege, dear voters.

plutocratic Bush puts the ic back

Now that I've read more of Bush's comments to the Democrats today during their Williamsburg retreat--to the Democrat-ic Party, as he now says with charm and mojo turned up High-- it's difficult to pass up the thought that Bush has been ic-ky all along and is one of the sleeziest pard'ners of the sidewindin' variety that any decent person has ever had misfortune to meet.

He and Cheney have left me feelin' like Pearl Pureheart tied to the tracks with train oncoming--and with false flag ops as my--and your-- fate...a common fate involving masses of people.

They are truly Greedy Desperados cornering the market in water, metals, energy resources, and more--these skullduggers follow a Machiavellian agenda, plan, and philosophy which was embraced by the direct ancestors of the current hombres in the time of the Great Neptune-Pluto conjunction of the early 1890s by the monied classes who had an understandable urge to hang on to what they'd got. King Midas, his Daughter, and his Son rule the world.

We've got the noblesse oblige--who rarely if ever follow that model anymore--such as the Rothschilds and their ilk, and the Rockefellers in America, the Adamses, the Astors, etc...but some made it by the skin of their will + brain powers.

You will find a link (in the above title) to a previous SO'W post on The Generation of Materialism--it was the rise of the robber barons, the energy/industry mavens--brazen in their actions, self-interested to the nth degree--dynasty-builders. And it required the pillaging of nature in order to make a buck or two and employed the usual exploitation of the masses--in a word, plutocracy.

It had been done before.

An Astrological Planetary Question: are plutocrats funding science's recent Pluto-spurning?

Well, this reluctant astrologer didn't fall for it...Pluto is welcome here at SO'W--but, no, I never use outer planets (Uran, Nep, Plu) as rulers. Epochrophal, yes; generational, of course. Giving special purpose or imperative when attached to one's personal planets? Okay. They think they've made Pluto's Cloak of Invisibility pretend-operative!

Sadly this may hint at the hiding of nuclear weapons and plans, m'peops, among other things.

Remember the olden days at SO'W when I ranted about Ds and Rs being in bed together and that the deal was sealed (the last time) on or around May 28, 2000?

Squabbles broke out last year when Jupiter and Saturn squared (obstacles; blockages) one another. A square aspect has a blindsided quality to it--someone didn't see something coming and there was trouble on Capitol Hill.

It fits into today's badly-played charade of making-nice and it turns my tum-tum. I don't mean that they pretended to make-nice...I mean that there was no un-nice to remake. In bed. Together. The Capitol Hill Theater's Winter Tour to Williamsburg. Personalities clash, of course, but they all want the same thing--to keep their cushy jobs.

Cast Your Mind Back to May-June, 2000

May 28, 2000 was the time of the last Great Jupiter (Jup = Rs) and Saturn (Sat = Ds) Conjunction (22Tau+) a cycle which repeats about every 20 years, and is the background transit in the so-called US presidential-death-cycle...you can find reams of writings on that topic if you ixquick or google so I'll not go into it at this time...except to remind myself that Reagan "beat" it when the bulle's timing was off enough that Reagan could be saved in surgery...barely.

And you know whom he and Nancy relied on for timing questions, don't you?!

(This post's title links to my previous 'Generation of Materialism' Chart's comments (only) so my next post upcoming will contain the Chart which uses the New Moon to mark the occasion bwo astrologer and author, Ed Meece.)
