Sex, Lies, Iran, Israel, and WikiLeaks (video)
This eleven-minute video contains comparisons between some of the WikiLeaks cables and the propaganda they tout that Arabs want the US to attack Iran. Really?

Lame Duck Congress: Sun Sag-Moon Pis 12.13.10
There's an interesting astro-atmosphere on Capitol Hill today, Monday December 13, 2010 with Sun in Sagittarius, sign of The Seeker, and Moon in Pisces, sign of The Mystic.
Luna remains in watery Pisces past midnight so let's consider the traits of the current Sun Sag-Moon Pis blend of energies whether the congressional test vote for the Bush tax cut extension occurs today or not.
First we know that a Fire-Water blend is a steamy concoction capable of cleansing, sterilizing, or scalding. It is ardent, even volatile, with a temperament that can fluctuate wildly; impartiality is not its strong suit and fanaticism may be prominent: theatrics may ensue.
Sun Sag-Moon Pis is fervent, restless, and humanitarian, and indicates a rich imagination, deep convictions, and moralism. It is the blend of the irrational logician who can also be helpful, sympathetic, and generous.
About this blend, Noel Tyl says that, "the higher mind gains tremendous support from intuition' and, "The mind is above it all and quite pleased with itself." (Synthesis & Counseling in Astrology.)
Yes, this is the thinker and dreamer combo describing a sentimental philosopher who wants to understand and broaden horizons yet who may find intellectual principles too cold to bed down with. There's a tendency to be lavish with mundane expenditures for this blend contains within it a mischievous subpersonality of the wastrel.
(Congress has certainly proved to be that - especially if there's a warring misadventure to fund at tax payers' expense so that the power elite can make mega-bucks profiting obscenely off our investments! Perhaps you disagree? The tax cut extension bill on the Hill today will raise taxes only for the poorest Americans which to me seems a craven act of banditry considering that the wealthiest 2% whine to continue their tax windfall with no thought of the deficit when it comes to their pocket lining! One group needs decent food and shelter for their families, the other needs less greed in their hearts, and if 'trickle-down' were going to create jobs, it would have done so these last 10 years.)
Since Sun Sag-Moon Pis sees clearly the folly of other people's ways, giving advice is a favorite past time and usually includes telling one's personal story - it may babble on too long. Does this describe a filibuster? Sen. Bernie Sanders has ended his but we'll see if Friday's performance is picked up by another senator with filibuster on his mind for the Sun-Moon blend on a Monday (or on the first day of the week they gavel into session) colors the entire week of business on Capitol Hill.
All in all, Congress' lame duck session today may need more concentrated efforts, focus, and an awareness of its own tendency toward gullibility. The blend has only one 'Image for Integration: A jolly, shabbily dressed vicar tells raucous jokes to down-and-out children and high society at the Church garden party.' (Sun Sign-Moon Sign, Charles and Suzi Harvey.)
Well! That sounds much like President Obama signing the bill this morning to improve the food program for kids in school! 'No American child should go to school hungry' - total agreement here. Yet one may marvel at the success of forces in recent decades which seek to undermine and destroy the US public school system - wish someone would stop feeding that destructive monster its breakfast! Our failing test results tell the tale of America's lack of preparedness for competition in the power elite's 'new world' of 'free trade'.
Now today's Sun Sag-Moon Pis combo is shared natally by Frank Sinatra, Paul Klee, Bruno Huber, and the three folks whose quotes I leave with you:
"I love mankind - it's people I can't stand." Charles Schultz
"The salvation of mankind lies only in making everything the concern of all." Alexander Solzhenitsyn
"Back in the thirties we were told we must collectivize the nation because the people were so poor. Now we are told we must collectivize the nation because the people are so rich." William F. Buckley

Hope everyone has a good week!

12.10.10: Mercury Rx station and Julian Assange's Sun/Uranus square
Earthwalk Astrology's Robert Blaschke has written an insightful article on the current Mercury retrograde cycle which begins today @ 5Cap56 (*opposite US natal Jupiter), Mercury's important Inferior Conjunction Cycle (with the Sun), America's natal horoscope, Julian Assange's natal horoscope (using noon July 3, 1971, yet Assange's birth time has recently surfaced as 2:05, 2:06, or 2:08 pm giving him a Scorpio Ascendant), and the chart of WikiLeaks' release of diplomatic cables (Nov 28, 2010.) The article has much to recommend itself.
Mr. Blaschke points out that the Continental Congress created the Department of Foreign Affairs on January 10, 1781 with Mercury, planet of documents, @ '28Sag', the degree of Mercury's Inferior Conjunction with the Sun during the evening of Dec 19, 2010. The last time such a Sun/Mercury conjunction occurred @ '28Sag' was on Dec 21, 1931, the day that TIME Magazine placed the ugly snoot of Adolf Hitler on its cover and featured articles on the rise of Nazism in Europe.
On this blog, I have mentioned in Comments underneath posts concerning the natal chart of Julian Assange that his Sun/Uranus square is prominent; this aspect of blockage and frustration between ego (Sun) and behavior (Uranus) denotes one who is willful, self-dramatizing, and eccentric and is prone to unwise behavior. There is pride and a dislike for routine; plus, a desire for freedom (Uranus) at all costs may cause good advice to be ignored.
Unprincipled behavior cannot be ruled out where a Sun/Uranus square exists; this is the aspect of an 'upstart' and 'troublemaker' whose arrogance won't allow him to follow the rules (above the rules?), and he is at odds with anyone who challenges him. Politics and government service are areas of interest and a strong desire for power may be noted. There is, of course, great leadership ability: ardent followers need apply and must submit to his form of tyranny. This trait in particular may be part of the 'Cyber Nazism' label for WikiLeaks which Mr. Blaschke cites in his article.
Also you may wish to take note of the article's information concerning America's Secondary Progressed Sun/Uranus square (Pisces-Gemini) for it heralds an unpredictable 2-year period of upheaval and rebellion in the US - and resonates with Julian Assange's natal Sun/Uranus square, with WikiLeaks acting as a "thorn in the side of the US government and US corporations between now and the fall of 2012." (Blaschke.)
How well the chaos-creators deserve a thorn! For it's 'unprincipled behavior' on the part of the US government and corporations, too.
So when we progress the US 'Sibly' chart (July 4, 1776 5:10 pm LMT Philadelphia, PA) to this moment (12.10.10), we find Sec Sun 6Pis08 in Sec 7th house of Partners and Open Enemies, Sec Uranus 7Gem00 (where transiting asteroids MIDAS and Pan have been hanging about lately) in Sec 10th house of Public Status, and Sec ASC 29Leo13, which is, as Mr. Blaschke mentions, an anaretic degree. Our nation is about to move into a VIRGO Ascendant (Oct 2011) with Mercury ruling after a 38-year stint with Sec ASC in showy Leo (a phase which began in Feb 1973; Nixon's second, ill-fated inauguration Jan 20, 1973.)
Plus, US Sec Mercury is Rx (unfortunately for US media and journalism) @ 21AQ53 in Sec 6th house where it is conjoined by Mr. Assange's natal Mars 21AQ33 in his role as activist - or, 'hacktivist'.
A telling link previously mentioned in comments here, is that Assange's natal Mercury 24Can13 conjoins US natal Mercury Rx @ '25Can' = "A Man Wrapped in an Invisible Mantle of Power", w/ US Pluto 27Cap33 Rx opposing; Mercury/Pluto = secrets, surveillance, spying, propaganda, persuasion of the masses, and control of state secrets and other info.
Let's close with a perfectly descriptive astro-tidbit concerning US Sec ASC's Sabian Symbol which relates in a very timely fashion by event to WikiLeaks' Nov 28th release of US diplomatic cables, aka, CableGate:
US Sec ASC '30Leo' = "An Unsealed Letter"!
~:~
*Transit Mercury opposing natal (US) Jupiter is a time of scheduling conflicts in the realms of politics, religion, educational and cultural events; external forces may cancel these activities or make it almost impossible to carry them out (and it's a Mercury Rx station!) Jupiter's growth and expansion tendencies can lead to get-rich-quick schemes with an overpromising of opportunities, and disagreements with authorities are all around us...or are they inside us?

Jon Stewart on catching Julian Assange (video)

| Julian Assange: To Catch a Somewhat Pasty Predator | ||||
| ||||
The apprehension of Julian Assange and our anxious wondering what The State will do with or to him once they decide to make a move is on many people's minds these days and aren't we the lucky ones to have a different perspective on the situation from The Daily Show's Jon Stewart to explain things as the feather-ruffled authorities "catch a somewhat pasty predator"!
Personally it all reminds me of the famous equation that leads to what so tightly throttles the life and joy from the globe today:
Corporatism + Statism = Fascism.

In case either of you missed this handy explanation of the tax cuts duel taking place on Capitol Hill, things will be much clearer to you after watching this video!
Did WikiLeaks make 'secret deal' with Israel?
WikiLeaks' ongoing Cablegate revelations have proved to be smooth sailing for the Israeli government and there may have been a secret deal cut between Julian Assange and Israel resulting in 'gaps' in the released documents between July and September 2006: the 33-day war against Lebanon.
Plus, minutes of a 'war council' meeting at the American embassy, Beirut, on July 24, 2006 have been mysteriously overlooked as well and it's difficult to imagine that no diplomats groused, gossiped, or commented during those months.
Documents concerning Israeli aggression against Gaza also seem to be MIA from recent cable leaks and it seems to me at this point that Julian Assange, who is said by those who've worked with him to be obsessed with American hypocrisy, has made a devil's deal to overlook the hypocrisy of certain others. Hmm.
Perhaps a deal was considered necessary in order to keep WikiLeaks up, running, and on the front pages but it suggests muddy motivations and lends credence to reports that Assange may actually be a government shill for the US-Israeli alliance on its path to world domination.
If any of this is true, Assange's current lodgings in a London jail might prove to be more cushy than dire as has been portrayed in the media!

In other WikiLeaks news, you've probably heard that one of Mr. Assange's accusers in the sex scandal 'case' has left Sweden and apparently stopped cooperating with prosecutors.

Julian Assange and France born with Jupiter/Neptune = Saturn
Update 7:40 pm est: the birth time of Julian Assange has been discovered! Click for his natal Sun Cancer-Moon Scorpio details.
Original post begins here:
Well, our chilly, damp weather has my allergies feeling 'under the weather' today, yet it seems of interest to me that the creation of France (national chart: Sep 21, 1792 NS 3:30 pm LMT NS Paris, FR) and the horoscope of the Second French Revolution (Aug 10, 1792 NS 4:51:13 am LMT Paris, FR) both occurred under the rays of a Great Conjunction of Jupiter/Neptune (speculators; wastrels; visionaries; religious figures) with Saturn 00Tau-3Tau opposing.
(As you know, '00-1Tau' may be called Hitler's trigger degree for he exhibited extreme violence when this degree of his natal Sun was transited-activated-triggered; aka, a degree of violence.)
The natal horoscope of Julian Assange (WikiLeaks) contains the same opposing planetary signature though in different signs: Jup/Nep = Saturn: consequences issuing from false hopes; plans that come to nothing; disappointments; losses; combining real with unreal in activities; breakdown of idealism; pessimism; self-delusion; curtailed occult practices. (Tyl; Ebertin; Munkasey; any, all, or none may apply.)
Paraphrasing Midpoints: Unleashing the Power of the Planets (by Michael Munkasey) in the realms of Politics and Business, the combination of Jupiter/Neptune energies gives:
Thesis: expansion and growth policies; ideals mirrored in a religious context; churches that espouse a moral philosophy for all; expansion and elaboration of ideals/dreams; foolish or unfounded legal situations.
Antithesis: scandals over growth, values, or belief systems; hypocrisy grows as a form of internal policy; a legal system where ethics and morals are based on favors and payoffs; a degraded justice system.
Here I'm using Julian Assange's natal horoscope w/ date supplied by Interpol: July 3, 1971 Townsville, AU; speculative birth time: 4:57 pm AEST -10:00; Hour Venus; no OOBS; 1st quarter = crisis in action; ASC 00Cap23 = Moon/Mars; MC 20Vir58 = Sun/Neptune = Fixed Star Denebola: 'out of the mainstream'; 'to go against society'); Sun 10Can43, Moon 8Sco42; Mercury 24Can13 conjoins his n Psyche and US natal Mercury Rx, opposite US n Pluto 27Cap33 Rx. Mercury/Pluto = propaganda; the power of persuasion; secrets; harsh words; depth of understanding.
Assange's natal Jupiter 27Sco18 Rx (conjunct President Obama's natal MC!) and n Neptune 00Sag43 Rx ('1Sag' = "A Grand Army of the Republic Campfire") are opposite his n Saturn 1Gem41 ('2Gem' = "Santa Claus Furtively Filling Stockings"; plus, '3Gem' = "The Garden of the Tuileries in Paris" thus linking his n Saturn to the French Republic and French Revolution...I sassily presume that 'Assange' is a French surname, oui?)
Tellingly, Dane Rudhyar gives the Keynote of '3Gem' as: "The formalization of collective ideals through the application of reason and order to newly discovered aspects of nature."
Well! The Enlightenment lives on! And there are zillions more things that could be typed here on such topics especially after studying Julian Assange's natal and progressed charts but it's time to take an antihistamine for my stuffy dose and chillax awhile. You know?
So I shall close with my main point which I discovered in E. Alan Meece's book Horoscope for the New Millennium concerning Jup/Nep opposite Saturn in France's 'Proclamation of the Republic' chart (data listed above, Aug 10, 1792) showing the violent Marseillaise Trio of Jupiter, Neptune, and Mars in late Libra), and the emergence of:
Jupiter/Neptune (religion) opposite Saturn (nation-state) = religion of the nation-state, with the revolutionary activities of Robespierre and colleagues 'replacing' religion with Reason, a signature of the Illuminati and others, as the nation-state took precedence over, and total control of, the individual. This horoscope describes 'seeds of future terrorism' and may be used for events and people involved in the terrorism and mock-terrorism of our day, false flags and all.
To me it seems worthy to consider the concept of the nation-state within our current global climate where nations and states both are under attack by plutonic forces seeking to dissolve them (and create chaos meant to lead us to a one-world-government), and the concept's relationship to WikiLeaks document dumps as they relate to invasions and occupations of sovereign nations and the plundering of their treasures by 'civilized' nations acting as arms of the global crime syndicate which now holds Julian Assange within its overbearing grasp.
For the US, the current legal dilemma for Mr. Assange falls under the astrological auspices of America's Saturn Return (2010-2011) and I believe that only America's natal Saturn being exalted in Libra, sign of the Scales of Justice - if correctly and honestly expressed - can protect one man's right to breathe freely after he has uncovered a speck too much of the global crime syndicate's inner workings across the globe - and with more revelations promised.
And the US Espionage Act being used against him in the US? He'll probably argue he's a reporter with a right to Constitutional protection! He turned himself in to London police on Dec 7, 2010 9:30 am UT with Pluto 4Cap27, Mercury the Reporter 5Cap10, and Moon 5:35 rising (Moon = publicity); Mercury's Rx Station occurs at its 'surrender' degree on Friday 12.10.10. This particular global reporter is stuck in a London Victorian-era jail where Oscar Wilde sat once upon a time...convicted for his alleged sexual acts.
And so, my interested concern over legal fairness in Mr. Assange's case (and his shaky physical safety which is not being addressed here but could be in small part with: Jup/Nep = ideals/flight/enterprises restricted (Saturn) by government (Saturn) is that Jupiter/Neptune's negative connotations listed above include 'foolish or unfounded legal situations' and (sad to say), a 'degraded justice system'.
Yet thanks to Assange and WikiLeaks supporters known as hacktivists, Operation Payback is underway and who knows? Perhaps some honest legal minds and hearts will eventually prevail and beneficially affect the Australian whistle blower's ultimate fate.
For as Rep. Ron Paul says, “In a free society, we are supposed to know the truth. In a society where truth becomes treason, we are in big trouble.”
Amen. And as Jude Cowell says, "The US government has made a fancy show of embracing 'whistle blowers' when it comes to passing legislation to protect them, yet now the whistle blows against the US government causing another of the ruling oligarchy's masks of hypocrisy to melt away..."
They'll want to be more careful of that.

Yet thanks to Assange and WikiLeaks supporters known as hacktivists, Operation Payback is underway and who knows? Perhaps some honest legal minds and hearts will eventually prevail and beneficially affect the Australian whistle blower's ultimate fate.
For as Rep. Ron Paul says, “In a free society, we are supposed to know the truth. In a society where truth becomes treason, we are in big trouble.”
Amen. And as Jude Cowell says, "The US government has made a fancy show of embracing 'whistle blowers' when it comes to passing legislation to protect them, yet now the whistle blows against the US government causing another of the ruling oligarchy's masks of hypocrisy to melt away..."
They'll want to be more careful of that.

Will Bernie Sanders filibuster GOP tax cuts? (video)
Wouldn't it be wonderful if America could shake the dust of George Bush off her sandals once and for all? But alas, Dubya's shadow continues embroiling our nation with wars, torture, and grief, yet the latest example of Bush's lingering influence is the devil's deal President Obama has struck with the GOP ('Greedy' Old Party, as everyone knows) to extend the Bush tax cuts for the wealthiest 2% in spite of all common sense.
Guess now that Mr. Obama is outfoxed once again by ideologue Republicans (who don't worry one bit about 'the deficit' when it's them and their buds getting money they'll sock away, not spend), we may now look forward to 2011 as the year the wealthy class, so favored by the White House, set about creating millions of new jobs which the tax cut extension will - the GOP has implied - make so very very possible going forward!
Well, here's the DailyKos petition you may wish to sign protesting this unconscionable move which will add $700 billion to the national debt and lead to what can only be described as dubious improvement for the US economy. For as many people have pointed out, the wealthy class in America had years of lower tax rates under Bush-Cheney during which they could have created US jobs but I think we all know that they did just the opposite which in part has lead to the financial condition our nation is in today.
As DailyKos points out, the same people who are shoving the 'need' for a tax cut extension for the well-to-do are the same varmints who will oppose raising the debt ceiling to pay for it so that their decades-long 'undo entitlements' agenda will unravel the social fabric more than they already have as it proceeds against Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid.
And thus, the class warfare of Pluto/Chiron grinds on with the plutocratic duo's midpoint tellingly at MC (Goal Point) of the Inauguration 2009 horoscope. Who's side is Mr. Obama on?, we might ask.
You may wish to view the Inauguration 2009 chart with a few details, or here:
Manipulative saboteur Pluto, the dragon guarding the world's treasures, is in 8th house of Shared Resources, Big Money, Debt, Credit, and Transformation and has received returns to its degree 1Cap57 since that day along with November 9, 2010's hook-up of transiting North Node (NN) to Pluto (Lisbon summit, etc); rich man Jupiter rules 8th house and is placed in 10th house near the president (Sun.)That the newly minted tax cut extension is a welfare program brought to GOP fatcats compliments of the US government doesn't tally well with the upper crust's typical view of themselves, so mum's the word.
Recently, Pluto conjoined negotiating scribe Mercury upon Inauguration's 2009 9th cusp; transiting Pluto's move into Inaugural 9th house (from 8th house) represents a major change for the Obama administration - and Pluto's ongoing opposition to our nation's Cancerian planets (Venus, Jupiter, and Sun) continues and will crescendo with Pluto's opposition to US natal Mercury Rx which will occur along Pluto's fated path to our national Pluto Return/s of 2022 on Feb 20, July 11, and Dec 28.
US natal Pluto 27Cap33 Rx is at MC as well, and as you see, Inaugural 2009 Mars is placed @ 18Cap29 in 9th house of Foreign Lands (where much of our 'bailout' tax dollars were sent.) '18Cap' is one of the New World Order degrees due to the Great Conjunction/s of the illuminated pair, Uranus and Neptune, all through 1993: '18Cap' = POLITICAL POWER...negative/shadow side expression: smug or strong-armed paternalism.
The degree of the NWO's natal Sun 1Sco19 (Oct 24, 2993) is important as well and is in the same degree as the United Nations' Sun 1Sco07 (Oct 24, 1945); consider one of the UN's midpoint pictures - Uranus/Neptune = Pluto: catastrophes, great losses, calamities, the necessity to give in.
These are the fatcats, their relatives, and supporters who turned out in force to vote on Nov 2, 2010 so that this sort of legislation could happen for the benefit of the 2% with scr*wing the 98% the GOP's long-planned goal. We might be forgiven for saying that the Dems are in league with this goal, for on Capitol Hill, it isn't politicians' words and mild protests that count, it's how things actually turn out and the ultimate consequences for we-the-people. Now we see how the tax cut extension will turn out: as a win-win for the wealthy while the deficit is enlarged for no good reason.
This forced showdown on tax cuts has the added bonus for the GOP of further undermining the authority and presidency of Barack Obama which demonstrates that sabotage is alive and well in Washington DC, along with its handmaiden, blackmail.
Tsk tsk!
So if you, dear reader, are not one of the fatcats, remember that you were advised to turn out for the Democrats - and for yourself - on Nov 2. And yes, the Democratic Party is disappointing as well, but they do occasionally make efforts on behalf of the 98%.
So my question for both of you is: will the GOP use this opportunity, this tax gift, to create jobs for America's middle class in 2011 and thus win their thankful votes and praise in 2012? Or will the collapse and restructuring of American society continue unabated?

Ron Paul: "What we need is more WikiLeaks" (of the Fed)
Perhaps you heard that the astute Rep. Ron Paul has weighed in on the value of WikiLeaks especially if its whistleblowing results in leaks of memos and other secret communiques from within the world banking syndicate.
I'd be all for those revelations, wouldn't you? Pass 'em around! Maybe some of Paul Wolfowitz's love letters are nestled in the packet for those of a more romantic nature than I.
Here's the video:
And if you may, please answer the WikiLeaks poll, upper right, thanks!

Do you support WikiLeaks? A call to action
Information Clearing House has sent this out the following alert so I'm posting it here for those fed up with the high levels of secrecy that allow the power elite to avoid accountability for their crimes and for those who wish to join the campaign toward real transparency in government - the kind that isn't just a slogan issued from the bowels of a Washington think tank:
This Website Supports The Work Of Wikileaks and Julian Assange: A Call to Action
I call on all of ICH readers to donate towards the cost involved in hosting and other expenses at Wikileaks. At a time when our government is employing all of the resources at its disposal to destroy this organization and its principals we can not remain silent. We must put our money where our mouth is.
Do we live in a free society or are you afraid of the US government?
Are You Brave Enough To Take A Stand and say: "The world needs Wikileaks."
Click here to make a donation.
~:~
Speaking of accountability, this is already proving to be quite a Saturn Return for America, isn't it? Issues of accountability, responsibility, and the sobering effects of war are put on Washington's arrogant table to be dealt with.
As you know, planetary returns (to natal position: US natal Saturn 14Lib38) of a planet that retrogrades may sometimes bring a three-fer (or with slow-moving Neptune and Pluto, a five-fer or more) so with Saturn, the first return occurs with attempts being made to push the plate of accountability aside (denial phase), then comes the Rx return when issues are faced (to whatever extent they are), and last, the resolution phase around the time of the last return.
US Saturn Return: 1. Dec 3, 2010; 2. March 22, 2011; 3. August 28, 2011.
News Item: it's 11:03 am est and NPR is reporting that PayPal has cut off Julian Assange's WikiLeaks account. Governmental Saturn's denial and loss functions seem to be working well as usual for those in positions of responsibility and a need to hide their past actions and lies.

New Moon 13Sag28 horoscope for Dec 5, 2010
Today is Friday December 3, 2010 and we've entered the 3-day Dark of the Moon phase, the Balsamic phase prior to a New Moon when things go thump in the night and, in blackmailing Washington DC, there's no telling who lurks about undercover, seeking to cause damage to opponents while promoting the globalist governing agenda.
Here's an image of the Dec 5, 2010 New Moon horoscope set for the White House as a stand-in for America herself (click chart to enlarge):
Chart shown: New Moon 13Sag28 December 5, 2010 White House; exact @ 12:35:39 pm est; Hour of a Mars out-of-bounds; Mars conjoins Fixed Star Acumen (enduring attacks which weaken); Fixed Star Achernar (crisis) rising 15Pis30; MC 22Sag00 conj Fixed Star Ras Alhague (to heal or create balance); Pisces is one the military signs.
The 9th house New Moon sextiles Saturn 14Lib58 (in 7th house of Partners/Open Enemies); both Sun and Moon thus form a YOD pattern with Saturn pointing to '13-15Tau', the position each US Inauguration of the Oath of Office's Ascendant = the president.
Sun/Saturn = ASC: difficulties; being misunderstood; possible health threat; separation.
Moon/Saturn = ASC: inhibited development; a reserved self-presentation; meeting with ill or depressed people; bereavement. (It's been announced this morning in the news that President Obama has made a surprise visit to our troops in Afghanistan, his second visit this year.)
Saturn conjoins US natal Saturn 14Lib48 so our national Saturn Return has arrived and will stretch and teach well into 2011; Saturn's necessary austerity after the banquet is in evidence.
Chart-ruler is Jupiter 23Pis59 rising in 1st house with Uranus 26Pis40 Rx; co-ruler Neptune 26AQ09 is posited in 12th house of Karma and Politics - and both still straddle US natal Moon (we-the-people) with dissolution (Neptune) and opportunities for spiritual progress (Chiron.) Jupiter makes only one applying aspect in the New Moon chart: its Great Conjunction with Uranus; co-ruler Neptune makes no applying aspect in this chart.
As you see, US natal Mars 21Gem23 is at IC, the HOW? Point or Foundation of any chart; critical/crisis degrees (29) are on the 2/8 axis (Money) and the 3/9 axis (Diplomacy; Education; Travel) and Venus 2Sco45 (valuations; relationships) stands out as ruler of the 8th house of Credit, Debt, Insurance, High Finance, Transformation, and Death) with its 29Lib33 cusp, so she's feeling frustrated with no outlet through the New Moon's Libra cusp yet that will soon change since the lady is now Direct and recrossing her earlier degrees prior to her Oct 8 Rx Station @ 13Sco40; in Scorpio, Venus is in detriment because Scorpio opposes Taurus, a sign ruled by comfort-loving Venus.
Yes, planet Venus will leave her own shadow once she clears 13Sco40 around Dec 21, 2010 in time for the difficult-for-finances-and-business Dec 21, 2010 Lunar Eclipse which is also in a critical 29th degree (Gemini); this probably relates in part to WikiLeaks and Julian Assange, the 'message-bearer' and 'thief' signified by speedy Mercury, ruler of the Dec 21 Lunar Eclipse.
The New Moon's Mars at MC here is apex planet in a powerful midpoint picture: Pluto/MC = Mars: great striving for attainment of power: the urge to dominate others; forced into an uncongenial occupation (the military, because you can't find a job? Ah, their globalist plan bears fruition! jc); crisis in career; explosively argumentative.
Now the propaganda duo, Mercury and Pluto, are in a karmic relationship since both are @ 4Cap12/24 which is where Pluto and North Node conjoined on November 9 (Plu/NN = meetings with the powerful and the shared destiny of the masses; both Pluto and NN are considered karmic or fated, and when we consider the possible midpoint pictures between the three of them, they all show a desire for intellectual dominance over other people, and promotion of a cause.
And at '5Cap', Mercury/Pluto = "Indians Rowing a Canoe and Dancing a War Dance" ties in with other 'war' indicators in this New Moon chart such as US natal Mars at IC, and Pisces rising in crisis mode. Of course, the US government now describes the recent Cablegate release of diplomatic 'cables' by WikiLeaks as 'an attack on America' and I'm certain that Washignton feels that way yet such labels must be used now in a pre-attempt to justify how they'll be treating Julian Assange in the future - if they can get hold of him.
Away from the earthly plane, there are three out-of-bounds planets: Moon, Mercury, and Mars; the public, Julian Assange, young people, and messengers of all sorts are indicated, along with Mars as police, military, and/or males between the ages of 25 to 35, give or take a year or so; some out-of-sync or out-of-tune vibes may be felt as the other actors (planets) in the New Moon chart get on with business.
And a large part of that business, I suspect, has to do with this horosocope's ruler, Jupiter (when set fo DC), for Jupiter is the General, the Banker, and the Judge...and transiting Jupiter here opposes US natal Neptune 22Vir25, a major transit for our nation on the financial level (especially since America's natal chart-ruler is moneybags Jupiter.)
Transit Jupiter opposing natal Neptune is a time of delusion, confusion, and deception when reality is difficult to pin down; Jupiter's increasing function adds to Neptune's billowing, deceptive, fraudulent qualities and its urge to merge knows no bounds; fantastic schemes are too good to be true so beware of those who over-promise; guilt and self-pity are used as excuses for overindulgence (Neptune = alcohol and other drugs), and confidential matters continue to be exposed under the influence of this transit.
The Dec 5, 2010 New Moon 13Sag28 conjoins US natal ASC 12Sag13, so we have:
Sun/Moon = n ASC: openness to others; feeling secure; meetings; desire for new contacts.
(All midpoint pictures today are from Tyl and Ebertin; any, all, or none may apply.)
The Sabian Symbol for the Dec 5 New Moon rounded up is: '14Sag' = "The Pyramid and the Sphinx"...CERTIFICATION...pos: effective practicality through a gift for bringing real imagination to everyday living; neg/unconscious/shadow side: ridiculous efforts to fill the shoes of giants. (Marc Edmund Jones, The Sabian Symbols in Astrology.)
The Sun 13Sag28 (the leader ) rises with Fixed Star Antares (obsessed with success), Mercury with Sualocin (the playful dolphin, the artful dodger...Assange?), Saturn with fortunate Arcturus (a different approach), and dreadfully powerful Pluto, the dragon, saboteur, spy, assassin, and global puppet master, rises with Altair, the Eagle(bold exploration), one of America's stars, as is Arcturus. (Altair conjoins our Inaugural Sun 00AQ+ on January 20 at noon, Capitol Building, each time we inaugurate a new White House mouthpiece for the global banking system - and we 'got our money's worth' this time, in a manner of speaking.)
And since Pluto relates to the blood, I always tend to assume that Pluto in a mundane horoscope signifies a facet of the bloodline-monarchists of the Merovingian persuasion who think they deserve to continue ruling a world whose days are numbered, no matter which system of global control they attempt to set up in earthly Jerusalem!

The Illuminati in one minute or less
Today I am happy to present to you a column authored by astrologer Alex D'Atria of Modern Astrology. Alex is an ace researcher who sends this blog interesting news items and astrological analyses and today she steps into SO'W's Guest Blogger slot with a brief summation concerning the secretive Illuminati:
Introduction
A few weeks ago, a politically interested family man, asked me if I knew about the 'Illuminati'. For his convenience I furnished their history as a compilation from notable essayists I’ve read over the years.
Illuminati in one minute or less
by Alex D'Atria
In medieval Europe big land owners and monarchies were the organized powers that ruled over the population. At any given time there were conflicts among them as they fought to expand resources and territory.
Waging war required negotiable assets and the nascent community of bankers provided much needed currency. Bankers became essential to the existence of warring land holders who required convertible funds for the continued maintenance of their jurisdictions. Beyond lending substantial amounts of money for war, these financial transactions transformed the small but growing band of bankers, giving them an important foothold on power in the medieval culture.
Moreover, the deceitful bankers escalated and expanded wars by simultaneously funding both sides of a conflict, thereby clandestinely ascending the wealth of the monarchies and land owners. However, as the 'industry' of war was created by the medieval bankers, they mutually spurned indiscriminate, outright risk of the public discovering their double-handed, devious manipulations.
The monarchies and great landowners utilized the bankers' need for secrecy to leverage whatever remaining control they could by creating an illusion of power, whereas in fact, the bankers had usurped them. The bankers and warlords became inseparable institutions.
While medieval to modern bankers prevailed, commandeering more authority than any nation or state, their primary imperative remains funding endless conflicts to amass incalculable wealth.
Many people understand that the U.S. system of government officially became a military, security intelligence, oligarchy under the 1947 National Security Act which granted them principal, legal authority over secret, black budgets.
The military, security intelligence, corporate, and business institutions execute strategies of 'artificial scarcity' in order to hinder the innate, massive, untapped, unorganized powers of the citizen population. Further, the oligarchy decided to demise the middle class, eliminating any illusion of democracy, by creating a thin, delicious frosting of plutocrats on their considerable, economic ‘cupcake'.
The Illuminati are the banking networks who fund and control the American oligarchy and the world's national and state economies. Putting all the legends and myths aside, the bottom line is that the global bankers rule planet earth.
But don't give up and give in for it continues to be a long battle to build our collective power - keep at it.
Addendum
Democracy is a participatory form of government. To function correctly we need to become proud members and part of the process. For people with busy lives these organizations can be an excellent means to get involved:
