There are 24 days left to vote in my SO'W poll where you can weigh in on the political question: Does America have a two-party system?
So far the 'class warfare vs we-the-people' selection is ahead, but you may affect the results, if you like.

Will Jim Jones' energy policy ties derail Obama's train?
Brad Johnson's Jim Jones' Chamber of Commerce Organization Promotes Energy Future tells a tale of Barack Obama's choice today for National Security Adviser, Jim Jones, and a few inconvenient ties that apparently bind.
Hmmm...the quote from Bill Moyers which I posted in Sept 2007 mentions the US Chamber of Commerce as one of the entities which seem to be running the US government by remote control.
Makes me wonder who did the picking? Did Obama chose Jones...or did Jones choose Obama?

Moon-Venus-Jupiter photos from Pakistan
Thanks to SpaceWeather.com, I have found my two favorite images of the Dec 1's triple conjunction of the Moon, Venus, and Jupiter.
Ramiz Qureshi took these photos in Karachi, Pakistan, and said it was "like a great face in the sky."
Check out Ramiz's photos: it is, and it's smiling at the stressed out planet Earth!

Inauguration 2009: YODs form with US natal Venus
Using the animated chart feature of Solar Fire software to 'look ahead' in the ceremony, an interesting pattern forms around 12:30 pm on Jan 20, 2009, Capitol Building, just as the Moon leaves its crisis 29th degree of Scorpio and enters the happier sign of Sagittarius, ruled by jolly Jupiter.
As you know, US Inaugurations are scheduled for noon on Jan 20, and the ceremonies tend to begin at noon, or a minute or so thereafter.
YOD, a Finger of God: a special purpose, task, or a crisis in need of attention NOW
A YOD pattern consists of two (or more) planets in sextile (60 degrees) at its base, pointing to an apex planet/s. 12:30 pm is when the 29Sco45 Moon reaches 00Sag00 (Sabian Symbol: "A Grand Army of the Republic Campfire") and begins an afternoon of sextiling and 'YODing' with Inaugural Mercury Rx, Sun, Jupiter, and Mc. (Jupiter 3AQ32 is conjunct Midheaven then.) All the planets sextiling one another are quincunx (inconjunct - 150 degr) US natal Venus, planet of money, relationships, and values, thus the YOD.
Checking Bil Tierney's book, Dynamics of Aspect Analysis for apex Venus in a YOD pattern, we find that a negative expression of apex Venus results in anti-social behavior and alienation. This refers to America's loss of standing and reputation in the world these last 8 years, imo.
Barack Obama's natal Jupiter 00AQ is also involved in the YOD pattern as well as his natal Venus 1Can47 - which is in closer orb with the YOD than US natal Venus 3Can06!
If activated in positive fashion, apex Venus in a YOD configuration represents a fated turning point - a new direction of fulfilled purpose and advanced development of refined talents or attributes which have a marked influence upon the value structures of others.
This influence affects the sensibilities of people in ways that enable them to improve their own welfare. Constant efforts at inner adjustments and reorganization bring lasting security; the new direction stimulated by the YOD/s pointing to apex Venus results in individual participation in social enterprises, legal affairs, or counseling fields. ~
With Barack Obama's natal Venus so near US natal Venus in Cancer, we may say that the Inaugural YOD pattern points to America and to Obama as leader.
Well, yay. Sounds way better than the Bush model, doesn't it?

Obama announces appts under Venus-Moon-Jupiter
Barack Obama's cabinet appointments are to be announced tomorrow, Monday, Dec 1, 10:40 am ET, by his nibs himself (I've long called George that, but now the title switches over to Obama.)
With Bill Clinton in a 'your wish in my command' mode toward the Obama White House in order to assure that his wife, Hillary, will be appointed Secretary of State, the president-elect's announcements should begin the week of Dec 1, 2008 with something of a bang...with the previously mentioned triple conjunction of Venus, Moon, and Jupiter - precise at 10:43 am ET Monday - occurring during the president-elect's announcement of additions to his cabinet.
With the ambitious Capricorn Moon joining Venus and Jupiter, Luna may be the significator of Hillary Clinton especially since Capricorn is also the sign of government (and business - we're fixin' to get the business from the Dem side now. Scripts are in process of being written...)
Still, the beauty of Venus-Moon-Jupiter together should bring happy feelings to the day, if not the entire week ahead, at least for those who are not dealing with over-riding, distressing issues.
Is there a possible downside to this celestial menage-a-trois? Of course! Mary Poppins is only a children's story, you know, and Pollyanna moved away years ago.
The Capricorn Moon is at sliver stage which is a symbol of the Middle East. Perhaps an announcement of import will come from that quarter, or a meeting will take place (triple conjunction.) One thinks hopefully of Indian and Pakistani cooperation.
So with Obama's scheduled announcement tomorrow, it makes ya wonder if there's an astrologer on staff or if fortune smiles upon his new administration without even a tweak of celestial advice!

Monday Dec 1: ABC News interrupted my regularly scheduled program for BHO's new cabinet announcements at 10:41 am ET by my watch. Barack Obama began speaking at 10:43 am!

Deepak Chopra blames US for Mumbai: video and text
India's Leaders Need to Look Closer to Home: The Assault on Mumbai
By Tariq Ali
Why should it be such a surprise if the perpetrators are themselves Indian Muslims? Its hardly a secret that there has been much anger within the poorest sections of the Muslim community against the systematic discrimination and acts of violence carried out against them.

US is Funding Terrorism: Deepak Chopra Blames Washington For Mumbai Terrorist Attacks~~Video and Text~~
~:~
But to step back just an inch from the views expressed by Tariq Ali and Deepak Chopra by use of Astrology, stirring pots and encouraging chaos is what we see all over the globe.
Falling for the script of the one-world-government types is a bad idea for all sides replete with "collateral damage," a vicious and cold-hearted term if there ever was one, and all sides are using it as part of their cynical strategy.
To me it seems like an 'oops! you got in my way, too bad for you' way of plowing through. And Machiavelli would be chuckling proudly over Mumbai and other terroisms although they deny him as their muse.
Hegel and Hitler would light their third cigars if they weren't long gone; Albert Pike manages to simper in his mausoleum while texting Jacques Demolay the news.
Last I heard, Sir Francis Bacon hasn't agreed to be dead yet.
L'oppression du jour just keeps coming, however, for there's Old Leo Strauss and Mr. Lenin partying on down with Stalin and the Kremlin boys, while every one's favorite assassin is drinking tea in an opium den somewhere (but still able to function, if needed. For a price.)
Vatican Sidesteps as Merde Hits Fan
Yes, it's a joyous season down in the bowels of the Underworld with vast amounts of misery being brung - no matter which faction you frequent, nor which obsession you cravenly indulge...because there's something in Hades-Super-Psycho-Land for everybody.
Access is totally open, too. First, finagle your passport by simply listening to your lower, reptilian mind as you give in to the devouring spirit's promptings to harm your fellow man. Then, pretend that reaping what you sow doesn't apply to you.

Chopra: What we have seen in Mumbai has been brewing for a long time, and the war on terrorism and the attack on Iraq compounded the situation. What we call "collateral damage" and going after the wrong people actually turns moderates into extremists, and that inflammation then gets organized and appears as this disaster in Bombay.
