Thurs UPDATE: Comair is offering grieving families who lost a loved one in Sunday's crash $25,000--cheap at the price, but some families may sue. Would you? Feds Say Air Controller Slept 2 Hours so that would just about cover it, right?
Tuesday UPDATE: Surviving pilot, James Polehinke is still in critical condition with a broken pelvis and punctured lungs. There are questions waiting to be answered about his wrong turn to an unlighted runway...odd because this Surviving Pilot Had Clean Flying Record .
UPDATE 8.28: As the misery in Kentucky continues, Cause of Deadly Comair Crash Probed and it seems that yesterday's "Intoxicated birds fly around in dizzying attempts" comment--see below--sadly applies.
And on another note--or is it?--this heads-up from Certified AstroCartographer Jerolyn Janssen sending SO'W a link concerning the mysterious suicides connected to US spy-by-cell-phone monkey business and the 26 CIA agents, Egyptian cleric Abu Omar, and other tacky meddlings of our great nation at dailykos .
Thanks, Jerolyn!
From Sunday 8.27:
On tv they've just reported that Flight 5191 took off from the "wrong runway."
Daytime, light rain, no lightening (they couldn't blame lightening), and experienced pilots...duh and puh.
Pilot-wise, the squirrelliest thing in the chart for a couple minutes before the crash (6:07 am) is the "Intoxicated birds fly around in dizzying attempts" degree rising...which could indicate the pilots' confusion at what transpired just after take-off rather than anyone's alchol or drug use. But we'll see what they say about that as the story plays out.
The current Venus-Saturn conjunction (17-18 leo) was rising, btw. 18 Leo was Venus' position on 9/11/01, and is the Sun-Moon degree of the 'Mother of All Eclipses' of August 11, 1999--when the world's real troubles began...and you remember that Nostradamus titled this eclipse the "King of Terror" Eclipse about five hundred years ago. (There may be a connection to his prediction on this solar eclipse and to financial disruptions due to the translation of the ancient French.)
So Venus triggered the 8/11/99 Eclipse degree and set it off on 9/11/01. This degree is forever sensitized by this powerful Eclipse and will be transited by Saturn in the first half of September upcoming--and Saturn is, in fact, within orb of this degree--now.
17-18 Leo happens to be the natal Ascendant for Iran and for Syria's national charts, and is resonating mightily with Bush's natal chart as Saturn continues bowling through his First House planets...and Neptune is sojourning opposite Saturn at the Unmasking Degree ("A man unmasked") sitting upon Bush's n Descendant of Other People/Partnerships/the Public/Open Enemies. He's seeing them in a murky fashion, as many people noticed when he invaded Iraq...the so-called "Cakewalk."
After studying this morning's chart for Lexington, KY--along with certain other charts--I must admit that their "wrong runway" explanation is a surprise. And how quickly they pronounce it--after saying they would wait for more investigation.
A loud explosion, plane crashes, and bursts into a ball of flames...someone let me know if you hear the names from the passenger list...Saturn in Leo = loss, restriction, or control of leaders (Leo.)
It should be 50 - 3 crew = 47 - 1 pilot onboard, so 46 names, unless I've counted incorrectly. Or will the total be morphed into 45 or less as a name or names are not divulged?
Seems to me they've been slick at putting out the "wrong/short runway" theory early--this morning there was an able 'set-up' by Comair's president and it was promoted enthusiastically by tv reporters--now it's been "confirmed"...unless that story changes, too.
Chart-wise, it looks as if Someone sent Someone a message this morning with the crash of Flight 5191, if my worst intuitions about the chart's indications are correct. Pilot error would be preferrable--if anything could be--to what I'm thinking, I assure you.
And as I've written before in a heartfelt manner on this blog--sometimes you just want to be wrong.

Hank Paulson
Henry "Hank" Paulson, CEO of Goldman Sachs, and now US Secretary of the Treasury was born in Palm Beach, Florida on March 28, 1946 (same year as the President.)
With his birth time unknown, I have set this chart for Sunrise and in looking at the 24-hour period on this date, the Moon remained in Aquarius...so we have a Sun Aries-Moon Aquarius blend for Secretary Paulson.
As the anarchist with elitist tendencies, we find that the Sun Aries-Moon AQ personality is a sharp analyst with a self-centeredness that can still have a deep capacity for true friendship and an interest in others' needs...a fair amount of social concern may be evident, and relationships and intellectual companionship are considered very important.
Having the gift of gab is one of the many strengths of this combo, as is a razor-sharp mind with broad interests which underscores an ability to see the big picture. With a high opinion of its own genius, this blend is correct in its self-assessment, and its inspirational ability is...well...inspirational.
Secretary Paulson has a deep desire to make his mark upon the world and his natural enthusiasm will aid him in his quest along with a large measure of personal charisma. Why, he's plum congenial when he wants to be!
This is a progressive fellow, and a "great improver" who works well with others as long as he's the one in charge. Original, inventive, and non-conformist, we see here "the maverick"--emphasized by mavericky Jupiter Rx, conjunct mavericky Chiron Rx. He's quite the revolutionary, in fact.
Greatest Weaknesses: over-rational approach to life and to people; impatience with details and dull routines; selfish altruism that will sacrifice others for a social vision.
Image for Integration: A gallant crusader turns his sword into a computer chip and broadcasts New Age philosophy. ('Sun Sign-Moon Sign' by Chas & Suzy Harvey.)
(That last sounds worrisome--just what we don't need more of, imho...New Age, New Order, or whatever. But we know the world banking system is the key, don't we? I'm looking at YOU, August Review !)
Why would Hank Paulson lower himself from the heights of G-Sachs to being a mere head of the US Treasury? they asked at this nomination (May 30, 2006.)
With his reformist tendencies, this maverick is right up Bush and Cheney's alley, my friend, with the possible exception of his reputed 'devout' Christian Science beliefs--and really, hasn't 'devout' become these days a euphemism for 'fanatic' of all stripes and sects?
And since anarchist tendencies rule the day in this White House--in spite of all common sense--Mr. Paulson probably fits right in with the 1% crowd infesting the Oval Office. He could probably run it without them from the sound of this blend's genius and talents.
So if his quirkiness can be held in check well enough to keep him from enthusiastically jumping on sofas like a monkey, perhaps his financial expertise will accrue to the common good while simultaneously lining the pockets of the friends he holds so dear. Or perhaps the Super Brain in Brussels is calling his master's name.

Not Your Father's Pluto Anymore
Does the demotion of Pluto astronomically affect Astrology's use of Pluto?
Read Jeffrey Kishner's assessment at Lunar Tunes for a great explanation of what's up with the new (and improved?) Pluto. There you'll find a link to Lynn Hayes' excellent analysis on the subject, too.
Here at SO'W, there's concern over the synchronicity of Pluto's current demotion--which has admittedly been in the ointment for some time--and Pluto's approach to the 26-27 Sagittarius degree area of the zodiac...aka Galactic Center. Is the GC our galaxy's bellybutton? Will Pluto get the lint out?
The Galactic Center is a vortex or drain where energy is sucked into nothingness, and we always associate Pluto astrologically to the deepest power, violence, explosions, primal energy...the darker elements of life.
As transiting Pluto reaches Galactic Center beginning in December 2006, and off and on through 2007, we will be hearing more of these dark issues. Does Pluto's demotion relate synchronistically to his reaching the vortex? Will he 'go dark' in fact as well as in scientists' minds and the collective's consciousness? He is, as we know, associated archetypally with depth psychology and the Un-conscious.
The recent announcement by scientists that, yes, there really IS dark matter--and that they don't know what the hay it is--is part of this conversation especially since Pluto has an orb of influence of 5 degrees and so has been in approach to the GC for some time. He's a slow-mover, that Pluto of the invisible helmet...a very interesting fellow.
Is Pluto part of a Neptunian system? This reluctant astrologer suspects so.
And it wouldn't surprise me at all if you wished to visit Joni Patry's GalacticCenter.org for more info on our new, re-tooled Pluto. Helmet may be required!

you stupid stupid glitch
Bush's foul-up of the Medicare-Medicaid prescription plan continues with many yucks as Medicare Erroneously Pays Patients $50M . The "erroneous" payments were mailed last week with a second letter this week asking for the money back.
It also contained assurances that the first letter was erroneous in stating that recipients would no longer have their premiums deducted from their SS checks. Not true, says letter #2!
Mark McClellan who "oversees" (perhaps he needs new glasses?) the Centers for Medicaid and Medicare Services, says the letter recipients need to know TWO things:
1. send the money back
2. their Rx drug coverage will continue..."there's no disruption at all," says Mark markedly.
Now Someone had to write the mistaken letter in the first place, so how did those words get put together in such "erroneous" sentences...by GOP gremlins?
Officials caught the 'glitch' AFTER the letters were sent out last week and it makes you wonder--are they trying to sabotage by incompetence again? You know, like ineptly responding to a massive hurricane to further undermine FEMA --after you've glopped it in with HoSec, poorly staffed it, and underfunded what you don't want to fund in the first place? "The private sector did a better job" was one of the lessons we were meant to embrace after Katrina.
This week's letter has apologies, of course, but what under par senior will understand without much confusion and distress?
And the cat toys with mouse once again as the DISRUPTION of our nation continues--personified by George W. Bush, and aided in his reformist activities by the "superb" job of Mark McClellan.

Republican Party lost its way?
First this from Information Clearing House (feed is on this page):
The accumulation of all powers, legislative, executive, and judiciary, in the same hands, whether of one, a few or many, and whether hereditary, self-appointed, or elective, may justly be pronounced the very definition of tyranny." James Madison. Federalist 47.
AMEN!
=
Do not fear the enemy, for your enemy can only take your life. It is far better that you fear the media, for they will steal your Honor. That awful power, the public opinion of a nation, is created in America by a horde of ignorant, self-complacent simpletons who failed at ditching and shoemaking and fetched up in journalism on their way to the poorhouse: Mark Twain.
=
"In the First Amendment, the Founding Fathers gave the free press the protection it must have to fulfill its essential role in our democracy. The press was to serve the governed, not the governors. The Government's power to censor the press was abolished so that the press would remain forever free to censure the Government. The press was protected so that it could bare the secrets of government and inform the people. Only a free and unrestrained press can effectively expose deception in government. And paramount among the responsibilities of a free press is the duty to prevent any part of the government from deceiving the people and sending them off to distant lands to die of foreign fevers and foreign shot and shell."

(Mark Twain is a favorite around here--I intend to post on him asap.)
And now there's this: Chuck Hagel says the Republican Party has lost its way. Does this show in any of their timely progressed charts?
So I just ha-a-a-ad to do it--I looked under the tent flap--or under the hood, as the case may be--of the Party's Minor Progressed chart for Aug 22--tomorrow, to see what's kay pahssa-ing these days.
In no particular order, here are some midpoint pics of note...I've left out a couple of rather positive ones--not because I'm suppressing the good news, but because if what Hagel says is true, I want to know about it. The fact that there's cooperation and "good teamwork" is a given, so here are the pertinent ones--Minor Prog'd being the mental/causal plane:
Moon-Uranus = Neptune: muddleheaded or confused motivation; nervousness about a sense of futility; things are unclear and insecure for no apparent reason; exhaustion; weakness; lack of energy; a sudden disappointment (why continue? There's more...);
Mercury-Saturn = Mars: risking everything to make a point (kinda like Bush did with this morning's press conference?); turning drive into tyranny; arguments; no compromise; incompatibility; tendency to treat others badly; separations caused by disputes; bringing about change through force;
Mars-Ascendant = Moon: anger and annoyance; provocative behavior; a quarrelsome woman (you go, girl! Uh-oh--you don't think that's Katherine Harris, do you?); emotional temperament easily shown to others (where's my dueling sword!?!);
Saturn-Ascendant = Jupiter: tendency to ignore or by-pass difficulties; indifference; being seen as 'above it all'; c'est la vie! OR one works very hard to establish a NEW ORDER that is reliable and predictable (my CAPS).
Also, their Neptune/NN midpoint is conjunct natal Sun: seeking to establish spiritual exchanges or else feeling misunderstood; the inability to to explain one's ideas to others or to come to an understanding; being tormented or let down by others.
Well, it's only a small flashlight, but the roaches are scattering just the same.
And the "Democrat" Party, as Bush made a point today of calling them again (so I guess it's really the Republic Party)...has its New Moon phase beginning---a new 28-year cycle of activity.
Not to imply that SO'W believes there's a lot of diff between politicians of either 'party' who are being run by corporations, crime syndicates, and globalists-behind-the-throne. Because there isn't.

historian Mauriel Joslyn
Today I attended a writer's workshop given by Mauriel Joslyn, author of historical novels, screenplays, and articles.
Mauriel has written a screenplay for a film short...the trailer may be viewed at My Christmas Soldier . This film is based on a true incident of December 24, 1943 and the DVD will be available in November. It may be pre-ordered now on the website.
This is a very well-done short which promotes Peace on Earth--so war-mongerers and profiteers, beware--even though YOU are the ones who really need to hear the message of this film!
For as we all know, if dead men could vote, there'd be no more wars...ever.
And if you want to send a kid-designed postcard to thank our courageous troops overseas, go to Let's Say Thanks and choose from several brilliant designs!

ps: yes, I was listening and watching Bush's press conference today--the part about the American peoples' psyche caught my antennae, so of course I had to see where asteroid, Psyche, was sojourning as he uttered her name...15 Leo, amongst transiting Venus and Saturn, and snugged up with Bush's natal Pluto, planet of depth psychology. Seems someone's been reading Psychology to George--hope it's Jung, and not Freud.
9:30 pm: Guess you heard that then-Secretary of State Richard Armitage had a "private appointment" with reporter Bob Woodward, June 13, 2003, where Valerie Plame supposedly was NOT mentioned. Yuh.
And the Images for the day are for Sun Gem-Moon Sag: The Pied Piper...A young man goes abroad to attend university and becomes a foreign correspondent.

Karma: the Neptune-Pluto septile
As you know, a septile aspect is 51 degrees 26 minutes and is an aspect of the 7th harmonic. As such it is associated with sacred and holy matters in religious symbolism.
For this evening I will be using Bil Tierney's wonderful book, Dynamics of Aspect Analysis...he has several quotes therein on the subject of septiles by other authors and so my task is made lighter by Mr. Tierney...a big thanks there.
The 7th Harmonic, or as I tend to write it: H7, is an indicator of many things:
Creative people tend to have strong H7 charts, such as: Mozart, Chopin, Schubert, Berlioz, Wagner, and Tchaikovsky. The art world has enjoyed the works of: Matisse, Cezanne, Raphael, da Vinci, Rodin, and Picasso. In the literary pantheon, we see strong H7 charts for: Lewis Carroll, George Bernard Shaw, Robert Louis Stevenson, Yeats, Blake, Shelley, and Lord Byron. Albert Einstein has a strong H7 chart--quite an assembly for the H7!
Self-knowledge and interior analysis are hallmarks of the H7 and many people today are involved with such past times, as we know...astrology being a great way to achieve this. Isolation (we hear in the news how 'isolated' modern man/woman is today) is a requirement for such pursuits along with contemplation, meditation, prayer.
The H7 suggests a sabbatical (just what the Seventh Day was designed for--a break from one's weekly work pursuits...a re-creation, recommended by our Creator who gave us the model to follow--He didn't need the Day of rest, but we do.)
Now Mr. Tierney says that the septile works best in privacy--'funny' that we're having so many "privacy issues" now, isn't it? He states that the number 7 relates to a composite of the principles of Saturn and Neptune with Pluto undertones (ugh on the Pluto undertones.)
And in numerological literature, 7 is the number of rest and completion...yes, the end of a week, with Sunday being the first day--and you know it is, if you look at that calendar on your wall!
The great astrologer, John Addey, known for his early Harmonic studies, gives H7, or the septile series, as relating to one's capacity to receive inspiration (see above list of artists, musicians, and Albert for examples!) With H7, there is an urge to understand wholeness and completion, and so it is associated with those who perform "priestly functions." Dane Rudyar, in his Person-Centered Astrology, believes the septile "can be interpreted in a super-personal sense as acts compelled by a collective need, an occult power or fate; and these may lead to 'sacrifice' and a symbolic life"...the transpersonal life, as he says. Doris Thompson on the septile: "A fated inevitability with a compulsion to certain actions; an unrecognized force with hidden activation." (Wonder if this can also describe the repetitious rituals of the "priestly functions"?) Delphine Jay suggests that this fated tinge "springs from situations that appear to be beyond ordinary meaning. This tinge creates a consciousness-expanding struggle within, forcing (a search) beyond the obvious." (Kinda what a lot of bloggers do, and what journalists are supposed to be doing for society.) And astrologer Michael Meyer sees it as introducing "the unpredictable, irrational elements of experience, symbolizing the ability to respond to the call of one's destiny and to use unfit or left-over...materials for the purpose of fulfilling a definite goal of a karmic nature." This brings the catastrophic element into the picture.
As I type, Neptune is 54 degrees 9 mins from Pluto, both retrograde. Their waxing septile relationship has been affecting the world since December 2001, and there will be a total of 20 septiles forming off and on until February 2011. (The last septile aspect between them occurred from December 1937 and September 1940...seven of them.) The cycle of Neptune and Pluto began, of course, with their Great Conjunction (three actually--direct, Rx, direct) of August 2, 1891, November 5, 1891, and April 30, 1892. And the 1890's began the era of the Generation of Materialism...the robber and energy barons under whose imperialistic sway we toil and grapple still. Their Great Conjunction's Sabian Symbol: "9Gem"> "A quiver full of arrows": Keyword: PREPARATION... pos: unlimited personal capacity for rising to the issue of the moment on any level of experience; neg/shadow side: querulous overconfidence and quixotic notions. (Sound like any current-day politicians we know who tend to 'dream the impossible dream'? This degree applies until the next conj of Neptune-Pluto--you and I will be long long gone by then!) Yes, the Neptune-Pluto pairing has mystical implications with a fantastical flavor, but the combo also relates to fraud, delusions, and the use of propaganda. (Sounds like politics to me!)The influence of this fated, karmic, irrational septile aspect between our two outermost planets (not counting recent new planet sightings in our solar system) will continue as a backdrop to our times, our thinking, and our fates. Yet this post is not meant to frighten but enlighten, and the sense of fatedness and karma we're all feeling isn't imaginal--paradoxically, it's as real as the unseen forces which are all around us. And yet I believe the seeming paradox isn't one at all! This relates to the same old left brain v right brain argument--and the truth is, mankind needs both to be integrated and whole. Karma will have her way--we reap what we sow, and that's the truth. Just ask the fellow on tv's "My Name Is Earl"--he's learning an awful lot about karma--and about rising above the baser urges and instincts...just what we need in order to change our fates. Revenge only breeds revenge--can humanity ever get it right?

James Madison on war
"Of all the enemies to public liberty war is, perhaps, the most to be dreaded because it comprises and develops the germ of every other. War is the parent of armies; from these proceed debts and taxes. And armies, and debts, and taxes are the known instruments for bringing the many under the domination of the few. In war, too, the discretionary power of the Executive is extended. Its influence in dealing out offices, honors, and emoluments is multiplied; and all the means of seducing the minds, are added to those of subduing the force of the people. The same malignant aspect in republicanism may be traced in the inequality of fortunes, and the opportunities of fraud, growing out of a state of war. . . and in the degeneracy of manners and morals, engendered by both. No nation could preserve its freedom in the midst of continual warfare." : - James Madison, April 20, 1795
And:
Knowledge will forever govern ignorance; and a people who mean to be their own governors must arm themselves with the power which knowledge gives: James Madison
Here's a quote to note:
"I know of no civilized country, indeed, in which liberty is less esteemed than it is in the United States: certainly there is none in which more persistent efforts are made to limit it and put it down.
Liberty is not for these slaves; I do not advocate inflicting it against their conscience. On the contrary, I am strongly in favor of letting them crawl and grovel all they please before whatever fraud or combination of frauds they choose to venerate...Our whole practical government is grounded in mob psychology and.. the Boobus Americanus will follow any command that promises to make him safer." --H. L. Menchen 1956. (sp? should there be a 'k' in there somewhere? -jc)

Who is Joe Lieberman?
8.19.06 UPDATE: 'Anonymous' has gotten back to me on Ned Lamont's birthday (thanks, Anonymous!) and funny thing...it's the same as my own, although I've got a couple of years on him! Will post on Lamont asap using Sunrise---hopefully this weekend. jc 1:27 am
UPDATE 8.8.06: "It's a deliberate attempt to disenfranchise the voters," says the Lieberman campaign manager.
SO'W says it's more along the lines of a Blatant Attempt...to think that Lamont campaigners would be so obvious in hacking and crashing the Lieberman website on the day of the primary...ah, give me a break, Joe!
Read the accusations here, if you haven't--it's quite a blatant hoot, I must say, that Lieberman Campaign Says Web Site Hacked...or is it just a sad and blatant attempt to save Joe's face?

Joseph Lieberman born Stamford, CT, Feb 24, 1942.
In answer to my question, it must be pointed out that his birth time is in dispute and ranks only a "DD" for Dirty Data in Rodden Ratings' AstroDataBank, so I'm giving here a few details which are not in dispute.
His natal Moon is in Gemini for the entire 24-hour period of Feb 24, 1942, so let's consider his poetic Sun/Moon natal blend:
*Sun Pisces/Moon Gemini:
Talkative; wordy; nervous; intellectual versatility; alternating sociability and shyness; love of language and symbolic logic; temperamental; thinks with heart and feels with head; acute perceptions; tends to find out true feelings while talking out loud; receptive to others; sympathetic; always tests the waters before jumping in but can't wait to have a good splash; fanciful; eccentric; keeps inward, running commentary on all experiences with people and with situations; the actor.
Greatest Strengths: intellectually imaginative; diplomatic with an appreciation of a wide variety of people; knows no strangers; fluent and original self-expression; forgiving nature; childlike attitude to life.
Greatest Weaknesses: tendency to vacillate and skim the surface; fickle and uncommitted in relationships; can be seduced by the sound of own voice (a politician!); full of hopes, wishes, schemes and plans if horse isn't changed midstream; cagey; defensive; wily; devious if necessary (again--a politician); lack of self-confidence; prone to wallow in daydreams, self-doubt, and self-pity; tendency to live according to an ever-changing morality (a politician.)
Images: A schoolboy dreams of heroic deeds during a class on the romantic poets...A child grips his magic red balloon as it lifts him into the sky and over the sea onto an island of eternal beauty (Gemini's puer eternus.)
All these mentions of "childlike" and "child" have been noticeable to me whenever Lieberman speaks...there is something childlike about him and I suppose a few childish temper tantrums may also be the case.
Natally he shares with George Bush an expansively optimistic Moon/Jupiter conjunction--some would say an overly optimistic pairing--given to them by their mothers (Moon) who think so very highly of their abilities...no matter what.
We know that Laura Bush shares this assessment of her husband--"I'm so proud of my husband"--and it wouldn't surprise me if Mrs. Lieberman constantly puffed up Joe's ego as well. I suspect Mom always told Joe he could be president, don't you? In fact, he may have related that sort of thing about their relationship on The Daily Show a while back, if memory serves. I know he has stated that she thinks very highly of him...and receptive Neptune in 10th house--if it is--can be a significator of Mommy Dear.
Bush and Lieberman have another strong contact between their natal charts--Joe's Pluto/Chiron conjunction (Plutocracy; oppression; class warfare; racism) is sitting royally upon Bush's natal Ascendant--his nibs himself. Makes me wonder who's really the boss!
At 29Vir08 Rx, Lieberman's natal Neptune (idealism; hopes and dreams; deceptions of self and others) is conjunct his Mc 27Vir15 in the 2:30 am EWT chart I'm using from the AstroDataBank file...good for an actor, and for self-sacrifice to career, but also giving an illusionary view of him in his career and public status for the rest of us. (Hence my question: who IS Joe Lieberman?)
The upcoming and difficult Solar Eclipse of Sep 22, 2006, 29Vir20, is in the
**8South Series--"loss; separations; to finish something and be sad at its completion, with a possible physical injury due to over-exertion" influence. When added to Neptune's tendency to bring loss (and even if this birth time is incorrect thereby removing natal Neptune from conjunction with n Mc), I believe this could be Senator Lieberman's Waterloo as far as his Senate campaign is concerned.
We'll see...
Note: my attempts to find Ned Lamont's birthdate have been stymied--all I'm finding is the year--1954--so if the one person reading this post has Lamont's birth data, I'd appreciate a Shout-Out on that!

As for the men in power
A headline from The Scotsman today--and Bush's chronic inability to admit his and his administration's bad judgements, off-the-mark decisions, and true motives--reminds me of this quote from Boris Pasterak:
As for the men in power, they are so anxious to establish the myth of infallibility that they do their utmost to ignore the truth.
So as Tony Blair denies that Britain's stance on the Middle East and on the crisis in Lebanon will fuel extremism (wha-a-a-a?!?) Blair admits Cabinet is split over Middle East...finds him admitting disagreement within his government, but not the outcome of his government's policies. Makes sense in an Orwellian universe but not outside the elite bubble--Million Man Marches notwithstanding.
Those politicians! What and how many truths will it take?

SATURDAY 8.5.06: Remember in 1996 when NASA's exciting DC news conference announced the discovery of life on Mars? The rift between NASA's McKay brothers continues: After 10 Years, Life-On-Mars Rebuked. With Mars as the god of WAR, seems we've got plenty of Mars right here on earth...and what is Martian bacteria doing for that?

Cheney and 9/11
Posting links to article of 4.10.06 on Cheney and 9/11 and to Chiron-Uranus Types in Government from December 2005 which concerns bringing "order" out of whatever chaotic muck you make to achieve your ends...collateral damage be da*ned.
Collateral damage--that's us.
tags: Cheney 9/11
And speaking of stars there's been a "novel find" in far northern Brazil where Tropical Stonehenge May Have Been Found. It's an observatory as old as the hills and Brazilian archaeologists will return in August after the rainy season ends to carry out their carbon dating tests and to make further excavations.
Now what has your astrologer been telling you? People were fond of solar and lunar eclipses even then...it's the oldest celestial observatory ever found...and it's from MANY moons ago.

The burning bush of Bush: 8 Leo
There is a book, The 360 Degrees of the Zodiac, by Adriano Carelli, which was found for me by Junebug Books a couple of years back.
It was published by the AFA, and is somewhat unusual. Similar to the Sabian Symbol degrees, it gives most degrees a word picture, although some have only descriptions, and its references to ancient times I find most enlightening. If it has a downside (besides some quaint turns of phrase), it is that the degree structure isn't really there--the meaning of "1 Aries" isn't particularly related to that of "1 Libra", etc.
It reminds me the most of the empirically-obtained degree info in DeVore's Encyclopedia actually.
The info it gives can be especially applicable, and so I give here 3 of Carelli's interpretations for George Bush's natal ASC--"8 Leo"--his nibs himself, and for "9-10 Leo" as they relate to his natal Mercury--and these two degrees will also relate to the natal Mercury of the Republican Party:
"8 Leo": 'The burning bush'...In a highly spiritual horoscope this degree's influence will endow the native with the power of heavenly fire surging forth with ardor unquenchable, unsullied, and all-consuming. Its light will be hidden from the sight of the unworthy and might even stay invisible to most eyes or escape notice altogether. In the bush blazing with unearthly flame, much-too-human beings will fail to see the light of the Absolute and will be alive only to the fact that the thorns in the bush sting anyone attempting to violate its mystery.
...fieriness along with reserve; aims sublime yet secret; a nature flashing with hope; ...constantly on the defensive, as the thorns and the flames in the bush clearly imply.
On the contrary, should the horoscope as a whole point to a lustful nature, the Lion's 8th degree would shift to its opposite polarity and, instead of a divine imprint, give it a luciferic bent. The burning bush will thus change into the lunar devilish image of Cain and the thorns.
Then an unquenchable passion, impure yet devoid of hidden motives and mental reservations, will slowly and steadily eat up the whole being, body and soul. The fire might not die out before before having wasted the mind to its innermost reserves and burnt out the organism to its last shred.
Whether heavenward or earthbound, such a mind will be ruled by instinct rather than reason.
"9 Leo": 'A great show of fireworks. Rockets, bombs, and *tourbillions unfold their dazzling pattern in the sky'...The native's talk will sound like a show of fireworks.
The positive side of this influx is its utter distinction and refinement. The native is keenly aware of his own worth, has self-respect and commands respect from others; has sincerity, grandeur and elegance.
Overdone and disfigured, all these virtues might present themselves in the shape of defects or even of vices. We shall then meet a vain haughtiness, as contemptible as full of contempt, an antisocial and destructive character, apt to burst into fits of rage.
There will be vain self-ostentation, a misplaced fastidiousness, a slash of dazzling extravagance, a splurge of rank pageantry devoid of any inner foundations. In other words, a lot of money will go up in smoke; the permanent will be sacrificed to the transitory, the useful to the pleasant, and substance to appearance.
The virtue of sincerity will disappear and the nastiest surprise might be expected. The native seems, however, to have luck on his side, and he might travel to places very far away.
"10 Leo": 'Death, holding the scythe'...Ananke! In a **previous life the native has taken someone's life in cold blood, but not for selfish purposes. Therefore he is either an instrument of fate, or its victim. Whether good or bad, such a man is destined to destroy, not to create.
In extremely fortunate horoscopes the native is an indomitable being. No one can oppose his cunning and his cool determination. He can bide his time, but will not argue or listen to objections when he has made up his mind to act. Nothing equals his timeliness, nothing can shake his deliberation.
You might ward him off for a while but never finally thwart his plans, as he simply will lie in wait for a better opportunity to strike again, this time more unpredictably and more decidely than before.
If he is good (which is not excluded even side by side with the ruthless will power we credit him with) he will extend his kindness and hospitality even to the undeserving. If he is bad, nothing will limit his capacity for evil; no one will deserve pity in his eyes, no power on earth will be able to ward off his murderous hand.
Well, I feel as if I know the burning Bush better, I just wish he weren't infesting the Oval Office.
He's decidedly NOT the fella who should be tinkering under the hood of the US Constitution either. Let's keep this grease monkey OUT of it, shall we?
*Not sure what 'tourbillions' are or were, but it sounds like the billion$ Bush has sent up in smoke with the rest squirreled away somewhere in his private hidey hole.
UPDATE 11.11.06: is this the Bush family's new secret hidey hole?
They've purchased appr 100,000 acres of land in Northern Paraguay near the new US military installment, the Mariscal Estigarribia Air Base. George and Laura's neighbor will be Sun Myung Moon whose property "sits astride" the largest water aquifer in Latin America, the Guarani Aquifer. Is he making escape plans in case he's brought up on war criminal charges? Will his accusers be part of the escape plans? Do "the elite" protect their own? Do monkeys live in the jungle?
**Where some will see 'previous lives' I see heredity, DNA, and Unconscious behavior.
