You know how you return home from a weekend trip and there are zillions of things to catch up with? Well, that's my situation this morning as I read the latest info I can find on the horrendous earthquakes and ongoing nuclear catastrophe in
Japan, a nation of good people for whom I pray in this, their time of great trial.
Then my terra-mail is opened and I am starkly reminded of Japan's nuclear disaster bwo the recent addition to our Georgia Power electric bills: $3.79 per month for their rammed-through legislation allowing a
Nuclear Construction Cost Recovery in order to build not one but
two nuclear plants in my home state. This is a pay-it-forward tax since the money has been forcibly added to Georgians' power bills as of January 2011 for future construction.
(Anti-nuke protests are now going on over the globe!)
And of course, it doesn't matter if the public (whose taxpayers' will be saddled with massive costs if there's a catastrophe) wants the worrisome nuke plants or not, or if we consider them safe to live near. Georgia's well known water supply shortages seem not to matter either - millions of gallons of cool water for future meltdowns notwithstanding. Smart planning? I think not. Especially since Georgia tends toward debilitating
droughts in recent years which are difficult enough to deal with without potential radiation poisoning to worry about.
Of course, dead people aren't thirsty people, are they?So what if our nation's antiquated
power grid failed during one of Georgia's extremely hot summers? Electricity and water are needed to cool down reactors! And I'm not even considering here the threat of hacking by terrorists.
Water Water No WhereGuess we Georgians could spurn water and just drink Atlanta-based Coca-Cola (not me!) all the time "going forward" - but
oops! Brewing Coke takes lots of water, too. Gotta work on that pesky getting-thirsty habit, it seems, for if it comes down to drinking water or having nuclear energy, Georgia Power's thumb on the scale has decided 'what's best' for this native Georgian. It all makes me wonder just
who could possibly have thought that hot, dry Georgia was a good location for two new nuclear plants.
Uranus, Earthquakes, and Sudden Disasters: Uranus to Aries PointFor years, astrologers have been expecting big events (as well as one can 'expect' with quirky Uranus, planet of The Unexpected) as The Awakener has again crossed the Aries Point of World Manifestation in 2010 and 2011. And I'm sure we've all been hoping that
Uranus to AP wouldn't come to this. Hard lessons from Japan's current nightmare and the folly of placing nuclear reactors on or near fault lines reminds me that I've never considered nuclear plants to be "safe" neighbors.
So if I thought that writing a Dear John letter to the
powerful power company would help this deplorable situation, I'd write and send it along - and ask pointedly for my money back for this devilish project. Something along the lines of:
nuclear power is only "safe" and "clean" until the first accident occurs, you numbskulls.Or perhaps I should delete 'you numbskulls' for a better outcome...?
Oh well. Never mind that the state of Georgia experiences infrequent earthquakes, too (name a location that doesn't, right?) At least we're the state with the mysterious
Georgia Guidestones which tout (severe) population control, among other things, and apparently was commissioned in 1979 by a stranger with the pseudonym "R.C. Christian", a Rosicrucian reference, as some (such as myself) believe.
It seems that the 'purpose' of the Guidestones (unveiled publicly on March 22, 1986, Elberton, GA) relates to our Founding Deist Thomas Paine and the religious theories he expounded in his pamphlet
The Age of Reason. I say this because a carving on the Guidestones states,
"Let These Be Guidestones to An Age of Reason."
Voila! The Utopians are coming for us!
Well, after hearing this weekend of the earthquakes and subsequent nuclear meltdowns in Japan, both reason and common sense tell me that building more nuclear plants when you're incapable of dealing with the refuse of the ones you have - and building them on or near fault lines - is self-destructive madness and as such, is not reasonable in the least.

For similar topics, you may wish to check out an intriguing reciprocal transit in 2006 which occurred within the natal horoscope of Thomas Paine. As you know, 2006 was the year that US natal Mars turned retrograde by progression. Paine's reciprocal transit is:
Sun to Chiron and Chiron to Sun - simultaneously! Read chart details, or skip the text and view a dual chart image
here, if you wish, for his Sun/Chiron synchronicity in May 2006 is quite amazing to see!
Another previous post which unfortunately relates to today's topic of nuclear plants is the
Chernobyl meltdown of 1986 (chart details are included.)
And here is a post containing the
Horoscope of Chernobyl with a few notes on the Atom Split chart and its Secondary Progressions.
You may remember that in August 2010,
500 wildfires were approaching the Chernobyl site yet I heard nothing of the outcome of
that additional health threat. (Yes, all nuclear catastrophes - and bombings - sound precisely like the Scriptures'
abomination of desolation prophecy to me. The Atomic Split irreparably broke a natural law, and sad to say, America was in the forefront of unleashing such horror upon the world...in Japan.)
