Okay, we're tryin' to pack in here and I said I was off the blogging clock earlier today but I can't resist mentioning the horoscope for tomorrow morning's final vote in the Senate on a health insurance reform bill or some such: Dec 24, 2009 @ 7:00 am est Capitol Building, DC; Hour Saturn, ASC 26Sag05, Venus rising 28Sag25 conjunct Fixed Star Aculeus (attacks which strengthen)
Vision-related Aculeus and Acumen are stars of the most southern constellation, Scorpio, with Acumen's keywords, enduring attacks which weaken. Scorpio's brightest star is Antares, well known for its link to being obsessed with success.
But it's the mythology of this area of the celestial sphere that interests me the most: Scorpius, the Scorpion, keeps the Sun in its degrees for only 9 days; the remaining 21 days the Sun is actually in Ophiuchus, The Serpent Holder. Thus, from the Bible comes a reference to health care, doctors, and healing.
Plus, Ophiuchus is anciently connected with Osiris and his son, Horus, and contains Graffias, another star in Scorpio, which is intimately linked with America's natal chart, and in Sacred Geometry of Freemasons and other secretive groups. This health insurance overhaul bill is a big deal. That they don't tell us just what it means is the scary part.
Ex: is Codex Alimentarius secretly embedded within for Dec 31, 2009 implementation? We'd better hope not. Besides. I knew it was you, Monsanto. (Dec 31 is the Blue Moon Eclipse which is noted in the post.)
As you know, God of the Underworld, powerful surgery-related Pluto transforms as a snake sheds its skin. His is life-death power and @ 3Cap02, he's quite snug with the Sun 2Cap49; power simply shines from the chart as well as a love of valuable things.
And with Venus oriental in the 'final vote 7:00 am' chart, we know that dealing with valuable things is coming up for the Senate this morning. But the rest of 'Venus oriental' (last planet to rise before the Sun rises) are people who need personalized work functions, putting their stamps on things, as it were.
In fact, evaluation of their work is often substituted for any direct evaluation of them personally. You see, if they knew how they are really viewed or thought of, they would have difficulty accepting or believing it.
With Venus oriental, we often witness people whose public relations images take the place of their private persona as is often done with public figures such as politicians, actors, musicians, artists, etc...provinces of beauty-loving primp, Venus, the Lady of the Hour in the US natal chart (5:10 pm LMT; Venus' metal is copper = Statue of Liberty.) (Tyl.)
So in the health insurance reform brouhaha I only wish someone had asked - or did they? - about Codex Alimentarius hiding stealthily in the bill and its draconian-sounding Dec 31 'benchmark'--or is it a deadline? Seems to me the Codex of genetically modified materials and who-knows-what additives would be just such a secret bomb to lay within a gargantuan piece of legislation that, if made into law, will slip past the American public much more than meets their gullets in a perfect world.
What are they doing to us?

Ron Paul video: US foreign policy ignored
Here's six minutes+ of Rep. Ron Paul discussing how important it is for Americans not to ignore foreign policy matters within all the diversions such as the current health insurance reform brouhaha.
As I like to type: whatever politicians direct our attention toward, always look in an opposite direction at what they're up to behind the door and under the table. (That's how little their 'ethics' impress me anymore. And Washington's 'divide and conquer' tactics have grown weary around here - we-the-people should stick together to fully express our power priciple--precisely what politicians don't want us to do. Can it be more obvious?)
Then there's Campaign for Liberty.

Merry Christmas to all who celebrate! This is probably my last entry before our family holiday spree of a few days...time to forget about annoying Politics awhile! Hope you can forget it, too.
It's that 'grandly scheming' Jupiter/Neptune conjunction of Dec 21 atop US natal Moon that we mustn't forget about as we edge into 2010, so I leave you with its midpoint picture (one more time) and as usual, it's any-all-or-none may apply:
Tr Jup/Nep = n Moon (the people): little sense of reality; real vs unreal; losing oneself in plans; a desire to dream; becoming involved in speculation, instability, wastefulness; an emotional swoon; going with the wind.

TIME interview with coverboy Bernanke
Here is a link to Time Magazine's extended interview with Ben Bernanke who says he doesn't think the monetary policy of the Fed merits any blame in the 2008 financial collapse.
Whaa-a-a? Then Bernanke and Greenspin apparently drink from the same heady brew in the secret chambers of hallowed financial wizards.
Financial effects from the attacks of 9/11 ripple still with subsequent low interest rates to plump up our economy looking like a ploy, a wizard's trick to impress Osama bin Laden...see, that didn't hurt one bit!

Email from Pres.Obama on Health Insurance Reform
Here is the email I received from President Obama concerning the 60-vote success for Dems in the Senate this morning at 1:01 am est with Sirius about to culminate over Washington, DC along with US natal Sun.
Perhaps I should reply to the president that I had absolutely nothing to do with their theatrical vote and don't trust the motives of the majority of them as far as I can see them with my eyes closed:
Dear Jude,
Early this morning, the Senate made history and health reform cleared its most important hurdle yet -- garnering the 60 votes needed to move toward a final vote in that chamber later this week.
This marks the first time in our nation's history that comprehensive health reform has come to this point. And it appears that the American people will soon realize the genuine reform that offers security to those who have health insurance and affordable options to those who do not.
I'm grateful to Senator Harry Reid and every senator who's been working around the clock to make this happen. And I'm grateful to you, and every member of the Organizing for America community, for all the work you have done to make this progress possible.
After a nearly century-long struggle, we are now on the cusp of making health insurance reform a reality in the United States of America.
As with any legislation, compromise is part of the process. But I'm pleased that recently added provisions have made this landmark bill even stronger. Between the time when the bill passes and the time when the insurance exchanges get up and running, insurance companies that try to jack up their rates do so at their own peril. Those who hike their prices may be barred from selling plans on the exchanges.
And while insurance companies will be prevented from denying coverage on the basis of pre-existing conditions once the exchanges are open, in the meantime there will be a high-risk pool where people with pre-existing conditions can purchase affordable coverage.
A recent amendment has made these protections even stronger. Insurance companies will now be prohibited from denying coverage to children immediately after this bill passes. There's also explicit language in this bill that will protect a patient's choice of doctor. And small businesses will get additional assistance as well.
These protections are in addition to the ones we've been talking about for some time. No longer will insurance companies be able to drop your coverage if you become sick and no longer will you have to pay unlimited amounts out of your own pocket for treatments that you need.
Under this bill families will save on their premiums; businesses that would see their costs rise if we don't act will save money now and in the future. This bill will strengthen Medicare and extend the life of the program. Because it's paid for and gets rid of waste and inefficiency in our health care system, this will be the largest deficit reduction plan in over a decade.
Finally, this reform will extend coverage to more than 30 million Americans who don't have it.
These are not small changes. These are big changes. They're fundamental reforms. They will save money. They will save lives.
And your passion, your work, your organizing helped make all of this possible. Now it's time to finish the job.
Thank you,
President Barack Obama

Well, at least he didn't begin the email with "Hey, Jude." I just hope the fine promises he mentions amount to something positive for the American people - and thus for the rest of the world.

Queen Victoria born 1819 with Sun and Moon in Gemini
Here are a bunch of her quotes and some notes on the life and reign of Queen Victoria born May 24, 1819 (NS) in London @ 4:15 am LMT; ASC 6Gem58 with Sun 2Gem07 and Moon 3Gem42 in 12th house; royal Jupiter 16AQ55 in 10th house (a monarch's placement); MC 2AQ24.
NPR has a feature on the latest film portrayal of a young Victoria
by actress Emily Blount if you're as curious as a Sun Gem/Moon Gem personage might be.
On Sept 22, 1896, Queen Victoria surpassed George III as longest-reigning British monarch in history, and altogether she reigned for 63 years, 7 months, 2 days. Whew!
Then to the throne came her eldest son who reigned as Edward VII and who, like his father, was a member of the House of Saxe-Coburg-Gotha thus making Queen Victoria the last monarch of the House of Hanover. During WWI, George V, son of Edward VII, changed the Royal House name to Windsor to soften their German roots with the public (but some of us don't forget.)
Of course, as genetics will have it, the House of Hanover has Germanic origins, too.
Queen Victoria May 24, 1819 (NS):
Sun Gem/Moon Gem (Air-Air) is a high-strung blend of mental energies which tally well with her demeanor prior to Prince Albert's death, a time when she was more carefree and sassy as detailed in Emily Blount's performance (one assumes.)
Adventurous Air-Air combos are the most reasonable, civilized, and clear-headed of people, very cultured and elegant. Double Air types assume independence as their birthrights within the cerebral, witty ways of a natural communicator. A humorous childlike quality may be evident in the personality which thinks that complete objectivity is possible in this dualistic world.
Sun Gem/Moon Gem is a vivacious, flirtatious talker, always self-analyzing and often moody; a critical, fidgety social creature open to experience and able to bring together ideas and people in fruitful ways.
Yet so much nervousness can deplete energy, and living a double standard is a possibility with this live wire combo and its outrageous sense of fun.
Images for Integration: 'A butterfly in a garden tires of the bright blue delphinium and suddenly discovers the most exquisite red rose...A young child entertains his friends by standing on his head whilst eating an ice cream cone and playing marbles...A circus trapeze artist writes his biography.' (Sun Sign-Moon Sign, Chas & Suzi Harvey.)
This combo is shared natally by astrologer John Addey, Kylie Minogue, Brooke Shields, Dorothy Sayers, Salman Rushdie, John Marnard Keynes, and John Barrymore.
Here are 5 quotes from some of them, 2 from the great Queen Victoria herself:
"One of my chief regrets during my years in the theater is that I couldn't sit in the audience and watch me." - John Barrymore
"Ideas shape the course of history." - J. M. Keynes
"As I grow older and older
And totter toward the tomb,
I find that I care less and less
Who goes to bed with whom." - Dorothy Sayers
And now, from the Queen:
"His purity was too great, his aspiration too high for this poor miserable world! His great soul is now only enjoying that for which it was worthy!" (letter dated Dec 10, 1861 to King Leopold I of Belgium, concerning Prince Albert);
"Great events make me quiet and calm; it's only trifles that irritate my nerves."
An 81-year-old Queen Victoria passed away at Osbourne House (designed by Prince Albert and the place she spent every Christmas of her widowhood) on Jan 22, 1901. After her Feb 2 funeral she was interred beside her Prince in the Frogmore Mausoleum.

Noel Tyl: predictions for 2010
One of the most erudite astrologers, and one who has read my natal chart for me, is Dr. Noel Tyl, world class astrologer, author, lecturer, and Jungian psychologist. During consultation Noel summed up many of my haunting childhood issues in such an objective way that I had to marvel - why, it wasn't all my imagination! Thanks, Noel.
Now one of my handful of readers, Jed, has recommended a realistic article by Noel Tyl on the world's prospects for 2010, mainly focusing on what he sees as a critical time beginning at or around Spring Equinox 2010 and running dangerously through the end of 2010 (which includes our 2010 elections, oh joy.)
Yes, 2010 seems destined to be a 'bumpy ride' for humanity at the least, war retaliations at worst, and Noel gives measurements using Solar Arcs and factors from each March Ingress chart set for the *US, Iran, Israel, and for President Obama's natal chart.
The President is in considerable danger in 2010, says Tyl, and I (for one) have written upon a similar theme last year either here or at Jude's Threshold where one of my more popular posts concerns a Russian astrologer predicting 'the end' for Pres. Obama. There are, of course, different sorts of 'ends' yet it's worrisome to me particularly since Spring EQ 2010 falls within the 12 North family of Solar Eclipses which manifests @ 25Cap01 on Jan 15, 2010, conj Pres. Obama's natal Saturn 25Cap20 Rx in his n 12th house (where secretive political meetings are held and deals are made.)
Will his authority be eclipsed with his Saturn? Or will something about his out-of-sign Jupiter/Saturn conj be revealed, something previously kept secret?
12N has a flavor of 'accepting greater responsibilities due to another's being unable to carry on' (paraphrasing Brady's Predictive Astrology) so we have that to contend with as well as the measurements and factors which Noel's article addresses.
Plus, the 12N (Jan 15, 2010) Solar Eclipse is right up there at Midheaven in the Inauguration 2009 chart indicating more eclipse emphasis on the office of the presidency. These represent too many echoes for something big not to manifest, I fret, for America is not expendable in my book.
That Mercury was Rx at Pres. Obama's 2009 Inauguration may be significant within these 2010 considerations since a US president is a (mercurial) mouthpiece for announcements issuing from the White House. And you remember that 2009 Inaugural Mercury was scorched by Inaugural Sun (the leader in a national chart.) The Sun/Mercury conj of Jan 20, 2009 sat directly upon Pres. Obama's natal Jupiter 00AQ52 Rx in his n 12th house. Will his natal Jupiter's guardian angel function continue to protect him through 2010 and beyond? Hope so.
Yet others have been plotting for a while now (Noel says so, too) and they may be poised for a main chance. And perhaps they can read Astrology charts - or pay those who do - and thus appreciate the timing advantage only brought to the strategy table by Astrology.
The current Mars transit through Leo (for 33 weeks altogether) is triggering Pres. Obama's natal DESC 18Leo (thus his ASC, physical body) so that Partnerships will continue having a martian flavor of quarrels and attacks. Yes, partners can be inspired to action, too. His n Mercury 2Leo20, Sun 12Leo33, and 7th house Uranus will all be affected by this long slog of Mars through the royal sign of Leo and the presence of Uranus with Mars can be explosive.
Plus, tr Mars turns Direct on or about March 10, 2010 @ 00Leo18 and will move again over the president's natal Mercury 2Leo20 (6th house) as it stimulates his n Mercury/Jupiter opposition. Transit Mars always acts as one of the primary triggers in charts and we're talking about world class quarrels in which Mr. Obama is involved bwo his office as head-of-state. ('head' = Mars; 'state' = Saturn.)
Meanwhile, The Rites of Spring: US, Iran, and Israel awaits your attention if you want truth not fluff about what's lurking around the New Year's corner unless people rise above party loyalties and ego games, calm down, and first think of the ultimate consequences of - and blow back from - their hot-headed, retaliatory actions and their misdirected zeal on behalf of a draconian global domination agenda.
As Noel Tyl says in one of his midpoint picture analyses, "Blind zeal can only be detrimental."
Amen.
Moderation in all things!

The August 5, 2009 Lunar Ecl @ 13AQ43 conjoined the MC of America's '2:13 am' chart with tr NN 00AQ15 (US Inaugural 2009's Sun/Mercury Rx) indicating on one level the president's receipt of the Nobel Peace Prize (NN.) More controversy about his Prize and the peace work it implies may be uncovered by the Jan 15, 2010 Solar Eclipse or even by the last Lunar Eclipse of 2009 on Dec 31 since it affects US natal Sun/Jupiter conj in Cancer and our financial woes continue, perhaps with more Ponzi schemes, or worse, revealed.
This will be a Blue Moon Eclipse, y'know. Wrap up well, my pretties.

Blue Moon Eclipse Dec 31, 2009: chart w/ details
Chart shown: Blue Moon Eclipse Dec 31, 2009 @ 2:12:34 pm est, White House, Washington DC, USA.
Moon 10Can15 in 2nd house opposite Sun 10Cap15 in 8th house; emphasized: 2/8 (values; money; resources; financial system) and 4/10 (security; domestic scene; public status; career) polarity; Hour of Mars suitable for aggression, daring, boldness, and initiation of strong-willed actions, yet being overly impulsive is counter-productive.
Ending 2009 with a Lunar Eclipse that is considered a 'blue' Full Moon is on our immediate menu of celestial events reflecting activities upon the Earth.
And Sky and Telescope has an informative article on the facts and myths of Blue Moons, if you wish some background on this phenomenon which concerns the fairly rare occurrence of a second Full Moon within a particular month, so 'December 31' just squeaks this one under the Blue Moon wire and the lunation happens to be a Moon (Lunar) Eclipse, too.
In blue you see marked a massive Cardinal 'triple' T-Square with apex Saturn as its energy outlet in 5th house of Risk-Taking and Gambling; Children, Romance, and Creative Projects reside in 5th house as well, but perhaps 'Romance' may be safely disregarded in this Eclipse chart set for a White House with imperialist aims.
Chart-ruler Mercury is Rx (delays, setbacks, frustrations; legislative gridlocks) @ 19Cap12 in 9th house but soon will be in 8th house; Mercury's applying aspects give details about this Moon Ecl chart as it relates to Washington, DC...
1. Mercury inconjunct Mars (0A21) = adjustments needed; distorted info; bitter complaints when those served are unappreciative;
2. Mercury opposes Moon (8A57); and conjs Sun (8:57)...
Mercury oppo Moon = distortion between feelings and thinking; emotional responses make compromises difficult. (Washington politicians like to keep we-the-people emotional, irrational, and divided for it serves their purposes well.)
Mercury conj Sun = extremely subjective opinions may be forced upon others; opinions of others are dismissed or irritatingly ignored; haste to be first in everything; ego-centered; quick decisions may be premature; opinions may have to be retracted later due to not getting all the facts; easy communications.
Transit Mercury and tr NN will be meeting several times in the next few weeks (due to Mercury's Rx period) for negotiations and signing of agreements and contracts. That agreements will be honored is another matter with a Rx Mercury on the case.
On the chart is a notation that this Mercury is conj the Great Conjunction degree of Uranus/Neptune, a signature for the New World Order (1993.) Uran/Nept = tr Mercury: the mind plays tricks; needing a more practical orientation; metaphysical research; artificial intelligence processes, ideas, and thoughts; sudden inspirations concerning plans in development; application of insight into new information or engineering techniques.
Don't Funk with My Moon Eclipse
Dec 31's Full Moon is involved in a midpoint picture with 'fighting spirit' Mars/ASC:
Mars/ASC = Moon: anger; provocative behavior; quarrels; temper tantrums; indecision; consoling others who have inner conflicts; an energetic or argumentative female (or, in a national chart, Moon - the people or the public.)
Sun 10Cap15 is featured in a midpoint picture, too:
Mercury/Pluto = Sun: persuasion, suggestion, propaganda; championing an idea or attitude that prevails; a keen observer; vision or circumspection; a desire to gain recognition; determination to use force to obtain information; enhanced authority or prestige among people who control important info or news; communication skill. (Tyl; Ebertin; Munkasey.)
Sounds like on one level the president and the media are propagandizing an angered populace, doesn't it? (Sun = the leader in a national or mundane chart.) But that can't be news, right? This Lunar Ecl will affect his handling of power and responsibility as revealed by the light of the last Full Moon of 2009.
At the top of the chart, I've written Celeste Teal's title for this Moon Eclipse: 'Burdens and Sorrows' from her book, Eclipses. She lists *countries that will be affected by each eclipse, and prime on the list for Dec 31, 2009 is the **UK (n Sun 10Cap11 conjunct n IC 9Cap20. Plus, UK n Moon 19Can26 will be eclipsed by the July 11, 2010 Solar Ecl @ 19Can24 in the 12S Series: 'successful outcomes to long-term illnesses or worries; issues at first seem worse, then suddenly clear.' Brady's Predictive Astrology.) And the NWO proceeds?
But at the end of 2009, we remain under the difficult rays of the July 21, 2009 Solar Eclipse 29Can27, with its 'systems fail'; new ideas and methods are needed; any blocks may be violently or tragically removed' flavor...the Dec 31 Moon Eclipse is a yearly 'bookend' to the last Solar Eclipse of July although August 5, 2009 saw another Lunar Ecl @ 13AQ43; Teal's title for it: 'Humanitarian Deeds'...Pres. Obama's Nobel Peace Prize?. The August Lunar Ecl occurred opposite his natal Sun 13Leo so he received the honor but under much carping as to why.
Now the chart's Cardinal T-Squares which you see marked in blue all depend upon the opposing/squaring Blue Moon for their dynamic tension and all midpoints formed have controlling Saturn as apex. This is an executive and organizational Saturn ready to act in Cardinal mode yet frustrated when things don't proceed quickly enough. He has major here-and-now objectives which echo what we've been hearing out of Washington - especially since Jan 20, 2009.
Ambition is the overwhelming motivation of an apex Saturn in a Cardinal T-SQ; he protects himself from vulnerability by controlling others and likes to micro-manage the plans he has initiated; he works in a regulator capacity and is always on-guard and reserved (as in, Federal Reserve? Or a court/judging position = Libra's Scales of Justice. US natal Saturn is in Libra where it is Exalted; this position of tr Saturn is part of the ongoing Saturn-to-n-MC transit we're experiencing in our 'Sibly' chart with US n MC 00Lib53...Rxs give us a chance to get things 'right.')
Actually this Saturn's 'frustration' has already reminded me of Pres. Obama's remarks in Copenhagen on Dec 18 when his frustration at a lack of progress (toward world domination dressed up as 'climate change') ruffled his usually calm waters ever so slightly as he spoke. (Text link to his Dec 18 address in provided in my previous post on the Copenhagen Summit.) We may be seeing more of such behavior from the president and others in the news for the power elite has been patient for decades but now their 2011/2012 target dates are looming large.
Figuring that you, lone reader, can look up the ***midpoint pictures with Saturn as apex (focal) planet (see below), I shall focus instead on the meaning of an apex Saturn in Cardinal T-SQ from Bil Tierney's excellent book, Dynamics of Aspect Analysis.
Outer restrictions frustrate and make anxious this apex Saturn whenever he pushes too hard for immediate achievement of his goals; the T-SQ enables him to directly confront challenges until he successfully defeats the opposition (in Congress? we-the-masses?); his executive talents demand total supervision of his plans and he resents anyone who dares stand in his way; use of resources to achieve his concrete goals can be abusive.
This apex Saturn rules and commands with an iron fist.
And this reluctant Saturnian astrologer assumes that his velvet glove is fast becoming optional.

Text of Obama's script in Copenhagen Dec 18, 2009
In case you missed the New World Order marching orders issued to us by Pres. Obama Dec 18 in Copenhagen, here's a link to the text of his address which doesn't show his frustration, of course, only a NWO script being delivered by a 'Democratic' president.
And if you wonder what I think about Barack Obama's taking up the NWO baton from George Bush, see this blog's sidebar of Quotes - the remark murmured by war criminal extraordinaire, Henry Kissinger. It's top o'my list of Quotes.
