What caused US 1549's emergency landing in the Hudson River a few days ago?
Expert astrologer Kathryn Cassidy details the Astrology of it including the Saturn-Uranus cycle which began with their Great Conjunction(s) of 1988, a cycle now at its culmination phase - the Full Moon/fullfilment stage with their opposition.
Airbus was involved then, too. And yes, I've wanted to study the landing chart myself but time has been sparse of late.
But never mind - the excellent Kathryn even has the pilot's natal chart pictured for you so check out her article as soon as you can...it's Mundane Astrology at its best!

Obama's Message to America 1.17.09 video
If you're an American, this message from Barack Obama is for you!
The president-elect and Joe Biden and their families are riding the rails as I type, choo-chooing up to Washington from Philadelphia, (after stopping in Delaware to pick up VP Biden) and making a few modern-day whistle-stops along the way.
They should arrive in the District in the early evening.
Only once in my days of living in DC did I take a train but my choice of destination was a great one - Harper's Ferry, West Virginia and back. It was a memorable and fun experience visiting a most beautiful area of the country - and thankfully I didn't have the tatters and dregs of a George Bush presidency waiting for me to repair at journey's end!
Pluto in Capricorn and toxic leadership
Did you know that Seven Generations: Pluto in Capricorn is a can't-miss article? I scouted it up for ya!
One Sabian Symbol of significance these days is for '2 Libra'...the Moon approached this degree as Bush performed his long-awaited and well-deserved Farewell Address on the evening of Jan 15, 2009:
"The Light of the Sixth Race Transmuted to the Seventh"...
THRESHOLD...
positive: the imaginative sweep of man's vision and an eagerness to execute its promise;
negative/unconscious/shadow side: a loss of reality in an infinitely regressive otherworldliness or a total lack of all practicality. (The Sabian Symbols in Astrology, Dr. Marc Edmund Jones.) ~
And what will lead the day...the otherworldly alternate universe that is life in the White Lodge...er, I mean, House?
Looking Up
With Saturn approaching America's natal Neptune in 9th house, my prayer is that we the people may solidify our loftier ideals, not abandon them; stand up to accept responsibility for what's ours, and be not thieves.
Then we may live in peace with all men, and the war-mad on all sides will be tamped down and relieved of duty. (They've done too much already, don't you think?)
Stewardship of our planet will be uplifted once more as the solemn charge it is, and dreams of liberty and equality shall live in each heart until all captives are released.
This is my prayer,

Daily Show to GOP: hold the mayo! vid link
Samantha Bee, fearless reporter on The Daily Show has a few good ideas for solving the GOP's image problem.
Hilarious!
And I didn't know either of them were in the deli business.
You know (or perhaps you don't), I mentioned the waning of the R-Party's light due to their Secondary Progressed Full Moon a while back. And we might relate the GOP's lounging about in the shade with the same phase America has now begun with our nation's own Sec Full Moon of Dec 24, 2008 just passed, Moon 4Vir10/Sun 4Pis10.
Cycles. Nature's full of 'em.

John Adams on the Jaws of Power
"The jaws of power are always open to devour, and her arm is always stretched out, if possible, to destroy the freedom of thinking, speaking, and writing." John Adams
Here John Adams critiques power and I've added a few natal chart details about President Adams as well.

On starry messages
These are times that try, challenge, and instruct us, and few people now escape some element of the transitions permeating our planet as families deal with difficult issues concerning career and home.
The words turning point and crossroads seem to be everywhere, written into every other news story or editorial we read, or visualized within works of art (see last image on this page!)
The Test, a beautifully written article, is a marvelous way to find out what's currently going on between planets and asteroids while reading a stirring message-from-above sent to us by way of a seasoned and compassionate astrologer of note, Julie Demboski.
Thanks, Julie!

Bush and Washington: Farewell Addresses
It's been 213 years since President Washington gave his buh-bye to the American people, and tonight we get another buh-bye from Washington...DC.
George Washington's Farewell Address of Sept 17, 1796 involves no tacos or other references to what his audience expects to have for lunch or dinner.
But Washington does mention that he's made mistakes.
The George of our time, however, gives his Farewell Address tonight, Jan 15, at 8:00 pm est, an hour which does not, as some have noted, interfere with tonight's episode of The Office.
Mention of Bush mistakes are optional. The entire list would be refreshing and healing.
And since such an address at the end of a US president's term is a "fare thee well" wish, I must wonder if Bush will bespeak to us more of a 'Good-Bye, Suckers Address'...much more appropriate when you consider the man and his administration's radical rearrangement of America.
With minimal blogging time this morning, I'm posting the chart set for Washington, DC, 8:00 pm est, assuming that things run reasonably on schedule. You see one of the Images for Integration for Sun Cap-Moon Libra is scribbled in the lower left corner.
Moon is conjunct America's natal Midheaven, so the public is watching (those who can stomach it.)
Bush's feisty natal Mars is his 'first planet to rise' in the chart, and added to other factors, he should be in a self-defensive mood...'putting one's foot down; making a point strongly; standing up for one's position'--> Mercury-Mars = Sun, the leader.
8:00 pm is a Jupiter Hour so we may expect more of the Airy 'freedom-democracy for the world - by force, if necessary' schtick from this neocon mouthpiece.
Chart-ruler Mercury is Rx so it's a review and revise exercise for Mr. Bush, whose backside will be larger in the rearview mirror than it now appears.
9:29 pm est: Quit Yammering!
Well, how interesting is this? Hope it doesn't mean Bush was shaking his sabre at the American people or at Barack Obama on his smarmy way out the door...
...Dubya hushed up at 8:14 pm est with Ic (the Foundation or Basis of the chart, aka The Drain; Ending) conjunct Inauguration 2009's Moon 29Sco45...Ic at 8:14 pm: 29Sco17.
"30Sco"..."A Halloween Jester."
And at the WHY? Point, Mc..."30Tau"..."A Peacock Parading on an Ancient Lawn."
And yet, underneath the make-up he looked like a wax doll to me. Or maybe my TV screen could use a bit of a polish - I know tonight's address made me want to spit.

Bright Venus and mythical Atlantis
Space Weather News for Jan 14, 2009
FANTASTIC ICE HALOS: Researchers in Finland have discovered a new way to create luminous ice halos in the night sky. Their tools are as simple as a bright lamp and icy, blowing air.
Some of the arcs they routinely photograph were previously seen only in remote parts of Antarctica. Sample photos and must-see movies are featured in today's edition of SpaceWeather News.
HOURS OF VENUS: Today and for the rest of the week, Venus is at maximum elongation (greatest apparent distance) from the sun. This means the silvery planet is "up" for more than three hours after sunset.
Go outside after dark, face south, and take a long look. Venus is so bright it outshines city lights and even pierces thin clouds. The view through a backyard telescope may surprise you.
Check SpaceWeather for images and more information.
~:~
Notes of a reluctant astrologer:
Venus is highly implicated in the Dec 21, 2012 Mayan Calendar vortex of argument and speculation concerning the end of time as we know it, or some sort of catastrophe including, but not limited to, melting of polar ice caps and earth's poles shifting.
Therefore, it's best to keep a close eye on the lady, esp since she signifies America's totem, the Statue of Liberty.
Now you know the purported deal about melting ice caps and mythical Atlantis, don't you? That the prescient Atlanteans hid secret scrolls or manuscripts within the shelter of the Pole/s.
The secrets 'they say' are hidden there are worth melting the ice from a satellite in space, people of earth (as Craig's monkey puppet so often warns) - it seems they contain the secret of immortality....as if this corrupt planet is a grand place to park your permanent flag.
Still, if any of this stuff is true, I must wonder what the Plutonians will have left to subjugate after all is flooded, soggy, and infested with mold and mildew. Selfish psychopaths, she typed grumpily.
