Here she is: America's natal Venus returning to her original degree of July 4, 1776, "4Cancer"..."A Cat Arguing with a Mouse."My first intent was to publish this chart with details here on SO'W yet Blogger would not cooperate--and Venus doesn't appreciate lack of cooperation! But I thought her sensitive aesthetics would appreciate a white chart on a black background here at SO'W. Glad to say I got the chart up after all, as you see.
But--beige background it is, so you'll find this chart's image along with details which include Scott McClellan's appearance before the House Judiciary Committee this morning published at Jude's Threshold in case you'd care to take a look.
One thing I neglected to mention there in light of transiting Ceres (now conjunct US natal Venus) is the traditional association of Ceres with grains indicating nurturing and nutrition. This ties in with security issues when she's used in a national chart for hunger isn't good for one's sense of security, is it?
However, I did make one small mention of the tragic flooding of middle America which is resulting in our "amber waves of grain"--millions of acres of it--being ruined from this flooding.
As you know, Ceres, a significator of America herself, is often seen holding a sheaf of wheat. They've lost their amber color and Venus isn't happy about it, we can be sure, and we must now consider how the loss of these crops will be affecting food supplies in the coming year/s.
And then there's Dick Cheney and Valerie Plame, a lady who may just be our Venus Return personified for the upcoming year...well, check out the article to see what you think about today's performances on Capitol Hill.
Lady Venus does love a good drama!
