Endeavor's belly gouge worrisome

Guess you heard that NASA found a gouge on Endeavor's belly so hopefully it can be repaired safely. Whether caused by Neptunian foam or Uranian ice, they do not know.

And astrologically speaking, foam is solid so it's Saturnian, ice is frozen, solid water so they're both Saturnian as well since Saturn = form.

Here's my post on the Endeavor launch which mentions having few options but I hope they have just enough to bring them home all apiece!

UPDATE Aug 15: NASA seems to be leaning toward not repairing the gouge...my post also mentions 'remaining at the mercy of external conditions without trying to make a firm stand.' Doesn't sound smart, m'peops...hope NASA is correct about this.

Endeavor, Challenger, and Pluto/Chiron

After last evening's loss--my little rural neighborhood vs big dog developers--with Pluto/Chiron midpoint rising as the county Board of Commissioners meeting began, and moneybags Jupiter at MC as the charade-of-a-vote was taken (Jupiter at the "Golden-haired goddess of opportunity" degree, no less, and conjunct Antares: obsessed with success), I'm a little verklempt this morning for my quiet home is about to be horned in upon by 196 half-million dollar houses!

So much for peace and quiet with lichen and bracken growing on tree limbs signifying as it does for now, pure air.

Anyone who has fought massive development with its environmental threats and its squirrelly math making glowy promises will know the feeling of powerlessness this engenders. And of course you would know that water is a major issue here as it is all over the globe. Seems there's either too much of the stuff or not enough.

Even the excess liquidity that's been pumped into the economy is problematic. But I digress and for good reason--after looking at the charts, I don't really want to post on the Endeavor launch this evening, reported launch time: 6:36 pm edt, Cape Canaveral,FL.

And I didn't want to revisit the Challenger disaster (Jan 28, 1986, launch time: 11:38 am est; break-up: T+73.162 sec) but the media and NASA won't hush up about it because of Endeavor's obvious connections to the Challenger crew.

Here's Challenger's WIKI link if you'd care for it.

But doesn't the Endeavor launch chart for 6:36 pm est look "throttle up"?

ASC 21Cap16, Pluto/Chiron just risen; MC 7Sc049 conj Challenger 1986 Pluto 7Sco19.

The 1986 Pluto was conj SN 3Sco52, a typical indicator of violence; *Moon 11Vir02 conj Fixed Star Zosma, the victim, Mercury 6AQ08 (Medina degree) conj asteroid, Minerva (desire to be accomplished.)

There are more violent indicators but I'm fading fast so I'll mention a few more things that concern me about tonight's chart.

Aug 8, 2007:

At MC (along with 1986's Pluto) is asteroid, Nemesis: the unbeatable opponent; one who inflicts retribution or vengeance.

Venus Rx and Saturn are snugged about the 8th house cusp, with Venus conj Regulus, one of the Royal Stars of Persia, one of The Watchers, keywords: success if revenge is avoided.

SN of the out-of-bounds Moon is conj Fixed Star, Facies: ruthlessness or the victim.

There are other ways to read these chart factors so perhaps being verklempt isn't the best time for me to peek at it...and as I've mentioned before, sometimes you just want to be wrong. Or perhaps bad weather conditions will postpone the launch...that'd be good because:

with 1986's Uranus 20Sag58 and Neptune 4Cap35 having at their midpoint Endeavor's Pluto this evening we see:

Uran/Neptune = Pluto: remaining at the mercy of external conditions without trying to make a firm stand; the necessity to give in; losses; calamities; the big picture commands a certain course of action which must be followed--very little option to do otherwise.

Well, I hope this midpoint picture doesn't tell the tale and show Pluto/Chiron's plutocratic, oppressive ways taking over the destiny of this nation one more time in order to serve their globalist agenda (Uranus/Neptune = NWO.)

I wish the Endeavor crew well and hope their mission is completed safely, and though there's more to say about the launch chart, perhaps I'll go lie down for awhile...



*Moon's position is reflecting the natal Ascendant of then-VP G.H.W. Bush. And Reagan was to give the SOTU address that very evening--and would have--but aides convinced him it would be unseemly, so he went on TV anyway and quoted poetry to us.
Come to think of it, watching him, I was feeling verklempt that night, too.


Note to John: revised/corrected natal chart for Republican Party now on file...thanks a bunch! (I appreciate all corrections, Y'all.)

U.S. military interventions 1890--1999

This chart for the US invasion of Hawaii, with tr Sun at MC conj US n Pluto (power; transformation; death) is the one I use for the start of the US military's fascination with invading and overthrowing something. As you see, the invasion--the sugar-grab--occurred just after the third Great Conjunction of Neptune and Pluto of 1891-1892, defining the Generation of Materialism of the pillaging robber and energy barons who still hold the purse strings in their claws. (Once you gain by hook or crook you become the crook with the hook.) These days, Neptune and Pluto are at the septile phase of their Cycle, a karmic stage where what has been sown must be reaped. Now using the Invasion of Hawaii chart doesn't count battles with native peoples through the years although you'll find the battle of Wounded Knee (Chiron = wound; knee = Saturn) on this list: U.S. Military Interventions 1890-1999 which was sent to me by Alex D'Atria at Astrology Communications Media. This post's timing is 'off' this evening with Memorial Day being tomorrow--and I certainly don't intend to disrespect our valiant troops who follow at times in the dark due to plutocratic leadership--but I want to give some notes on this chart which relate to more current times. The Balsamic phase of the Sun and Moon is so often when the sneakiest things are perpetrated...hidden at the dark of the Moon. As I said, the US natal Pluto is being triggered by tr Sun--why I've used the midday chart. Here are the midpoint pictures for this pile-up at the Public Status/Career Point (MC = The Goal or Aspiration): Sun/Pluto = MC: striving for power and control; upset and change to adopt new perspectives; power games with important consequences; Sun/MC ("the Goal") = Pluto: violent attainment of one's aims; desire to take the lead by use of force; the realization of extraordinary and unusual plans; success; a tragic destiny; Pluto/MC = Sun: the desire for power and authority. The invasion occurred during the 2 South Solar Eclipse Series: 2S = great gains through involvement with unusual group endeavors. This Eclipse has also manifested in 1910, 1928, 1946, 1964, 1982, Dec 15, 2000 (4Cap14 conj the Pluto/Chiron midpoint in the invasion chart 1893.) It's so very often instructive to look at the Initial Eclipse in a Series for more info and this one began: Apr 17, 991 (OS), Sun/Moon 1Tau47 (opposite the NWO's n Sun, btw, 1993, when Uranus and Neptune had their Great Conjunction); Pluto/Chiron 4Cap26; Venus at Aries Point; NN 14Lib24, conj US n Saturn (authority; control)...(Predictive Astrology, Bernadette Brady.) Now which little future politicians were born during this Series thus having it as their Pre-natal Eclipse Series (PE)? At least three that I know of--and all three seem intent on never really going away: Woodrow Wilson, Ronald Reagan, and Hillary Clinton--fyi. Mars/Saturn: As you know, the harmful, destructive energy of the Mars/Saturn combo is one of the most difficult points in any chart. In the chart above, tr Mars/Saturn conjuncts US n Sun and opposes the Moon 14Cap04 (the Moon would have opposed US n Sun prior to noon that day, a culmination stage for national US ego issues--and perhaps a timing device for politicians who use Astrology--and let's not assume Reagan was the only one!): Mars/Saturn = Sun: the inability to meet all demands or to master all situations; death of members of the male population; physical threat; sense of loss; eking it out; Mars/Sat = Moon: feelings about losing something; death of members of the female population; depression; lack of courage; weakness of will. With Fixed Star Schedir rising, keyword: The Queen, I assume that the Sun represents the invaders while the Moon represents the population under invasion--and Hawaii's Queen who was toppled that day by the US military. The US sugar industry was so gratified! Now it's 2007 and the chess game continues with stalemates abounding...we know that a 'first' event chart may be used to define all subsequent events of the sort because everything is connected: past, present, and future...it's all about cycles and stages, isn't it? In Astrology we constantly see it expressed that how a thing begins is how it ends. Or if you prefer, the end is in the beginning--unless something truly extraordinary happens. Since this is basically the same concept as reap what you sow, it would take a miracle to turn the ship of America around from her disasterous course so long ago embarked upon and which we're now seeing played out in the Middle East. Crusading and invading--but on both sides, not just the US's! Yet if you read the list of US invasions given above, you may rightly wonder what it would take to rock the boat without capsizing her entirely. My saddest feeling is that I long ago gave up the assumption (nurtured through my growing up in America) that the elite ruling class gives a hoot for sustaining America--because capsizing her is just what they signed on for and they have no intention of ever letting go the reins of power and wealth. That's why the most unpopular president in US history is still infesting our White House...and shoe-horning that cuss out the door would take a miracle. Update 9 pm: just found this from Information Clearing House: Overthrow: America's Century of Regime Change from Hawaii to Iraq about "regime change" being US foreign policy for over 110 years. That's what she said.

Are You a Tech Omnivore?

Are you a technology Omnivore, Connector, Productivity Enhancer, or Lackluster Veteran?

Not sure which category I fit into but lackluster probably has something to do with it. And the Pew Internet and American Life Project can help me figure it out.

There's a quiz you may take if you're into fretting about it or you may read how the Survey Shatters Technology Assumptions which may or may not get your tech fires glowing again.

Funny that I just finished reading Robert Blaschke's Earthwalk Astrology Newletter concerning the semiseptile phase of Uranus/Neptune and its Information Age connections that began with the Uran/Nep Conjunctions of 1993 (Feb 2, Aug 20, and Oct 24) as the tech revolution for the masses took hold of our brain waves.

The semiseptile is an aspect of the 14th Harmonic issuing from the H7 = spiritual awareness. And Robert Blaschke asserts that the Information Age is proving to be an empty disappointment for most people--"illusions weaved with modern technology" or, in astrologese--Neptune + Uranus.

Then I find the above article on how we Americans fall into which category of 'user' based on the Pew survey...the whole thing sounds addictive when you put it that way, doesn't it? How many spouses have complained of such in recent years?

Sounds like Neptune is up to its usual tricks--negative escapism vs true spirituality!


Note: Earthwalk Astrology's latest Newsletter also has info on Jeanne Palfrey's natal chart--Mr.Blaschke spoke with the DC Madam by phone and she gave him her details! The federal charges may be dismissed or reduced--her Sec Moon was trining natal Jupiter at the time of her indictment, March 1.
