August 2015: EPA Toxic Mining Sludge Spill video, plus EPA Astro-Notes
And then this happened:
Under toxic threat, the Navaho Nation has taken emergency action against the August 5, 2015 accidental release of heavy metal sludge as the Gold King Mine near Silverton, Colorado as it was being 'cleaned up' by the EPA--or, apparently, by contractors hired by the EPA. Perhaps we can thank the movement to privatize government agencies for that.
The King Gold Mine toxic catastrophe will create havoc for several years as the mustard yellow plume flows south toward the Grand Canyon and beyond. Astrologically the toxic release may be identified in part by the 20-year Jupiter-Saturn cycle. When Richard Nixon created the Environmental Protection Agency by Executive Order 1102 and the EPA began operating on December 2, 1970, Jupiter (expansion, breaking through boundaries) and Saturn (restriction, also the Earth, boundaries, and soil) had conjoined last on February 19, 1961 @25Cap12--Capricorn, an Earth sign ruled by Saturn, planet of government, law, and business.
So by December 2, 1970, the two societal planets with their checks and balances Yin-Yang qualities were in process of an off-again-on-again phase of opposition with Jupiter @21Scorpio and Saturn @17Taurus, another Earth sign of Environmentalism, conservation, and preservation.
As for the August 5, 2015 toxic spill, Jupiter and Saturn are in process of a square phase issuing from their Great Conjunction of May 28, 2000 @23Taurus and there's that environmentally aware Taurus again. Squares are aspects of blockage and obstacles but unfortunately, the blockage of soil was removed. Yet another aspect operative on August 5th is Mars in late Cancer squaring its position in 1970 (late Libra) which indicates males (Mars) acting impulsively and with a caution to beware large mechanical equipment--which is what workers were up to as they failed to realize the consequences of their machinery disturbing loose soil which released a heavy metal brew of arsenic, lead, copper, zinc, and more from the King Gold Mine clean-up site.
And with karmic Saturn again to transit the early degrees of Sagittarius, we may consider its conjunction with 1970 Neptune @00Sag58, the grim reality transit when it's easy to misinterpret what one is supposed to be responsible for and there is failure to fully comprehend the reality of a situation which describes the initial reaction of the EPA as the amount of toxins released was underestimated to area residents and the public (as is typical in such disasters).
Then like a computer program running underneath it all, we feel the effects of the planet of toxins, poisons, contamination, and water, Neptune, floating through its own sign of Pisces, sign of fish, bodies of water, and lack of clarity--and the EPA not letting out the news of the catastrophe to area residents until Thursday (Aug 6), a full day after the disastrous event.
You may wish to read President Nixon's message to Congress dated July 9, 1970: Reorganization Plan No. 3 which includes information on the protective mission of the EPA. But if it seems odd that a Republican president would create a regulatory agency like the EPA (which was actually a glopping together of agencies) try Myth: Nixon Created the EPA to Help the Environment which seems more in character with the Richard Nixon who played president when yours truly was a resident of Washington DC.

Voters Are Rejecting The Ruling Class: The 1% Are Running Scared - video
Should we file this under the category of 'Bout Time?

Jupiter = Expansion, Growth, Investment; Saturn = Restriction, Contraction, Austerity
It may be that the current Jupiter-Saturn square marks a phase when those who have been given--or stolen!--much (Jupiter) are being challenged to give back (Saturn) to the Collective and this imperative stems from the Jupiter-Saturn cycle and their conjunction of May 28, 2000 at 23 Taurus. Perhaps the Sabian Symbol for 23 Taurus applies: "A Jewelry Shop Filled with the Most Magnificent Jewels" which to me sounds like the riches of the world craved by the greedy heist mentality of most corporate and big banker types of scoundrels who hoard gold and resources while calling the rest of us "useless eaters"!
Poor decrepit things! They pretend not to know that their reptilian ways show them to be lower on the evolutionary scale, not higher!
Related: 3-Quote Round-Up, One from Ayn Rand, priestess of the "useless eater" crowd, idol of the Republican Party. And yet in her dotage, Rand applied for and accepted Social Security benefits. Funny how that happens. Even for ideological hypocrites.

GOP Candidates Turn Blind Eye To Income Inequality - video
Oh dear! As you know, eclipses are considered to be 'wild cards' of the Universe, and the influence of the current Spring Equinox Solar Eclipse at a critical 29th degree continues to uncover inconvenient facts in stark relief:
You may wish to view the DC horoscope of the Spring Equinox 2015 Solar Eclipse @29Pisces with its crisis/turning point/special task YOD pattern involving broadcaster Jupiter sextile North Node (public contact) pointing toward debating, voting Mercury in veiled, not always forthcoming, Pisces, the sign that is part of the Virgo-Pisces axis of victimization and martyrdom.
And of course, Virgo, sign of the Virgin (goddess), relates on one level to issues concerning the Madonna-whore archetype. Does anyone believe that Donald Trump's complaint against FOX moderator Meghan Kelly wasn't due to his snarky remark during the recent Republican 'debate' that she was 'attacking' him (Donald the victim!) because of her monthly? Was his meaning veiled enough for you? What an antiquated male complaint against women who let their Barbie masks slip and dare to challenge misogynist male behavior!
Well, the Meghan-Donald kerfluffle has partially masked the fact that the GOP candidates on August 6th said little if anything about the real issues and problems facing the American people such as income inequality but the lack of substance was typical and predictable, wasn't it? "Does Donald Trump have a problem with women?", Thomas Roberts just asked on MSNBC. Quick! Name a Republican who doesn't.

How Dark Were the Dark Ages? video
This is a great yet brief presentation even though no mention of what we call 'astrology' is made--unless you count 'astronomy' which included the practice of astrology back in the day!

Thom Hartmann: Trump Tells the Truth, but No one listens...
Are there two truth-telling candidates among us?
#ThomHartmann #DonaldTrump #Bankruptcy #AtlanticCity #Corporatism
Is Donald Trump exposing too many secrets of the false reality matrix? To some degree, and yet Democratic candidate Senator Bernie Sanders is the one drawing huge crowds at every campaign event because he reveals truths and discusses topics that the American people want and need to hear!
Related: the natal horoscope of Donald Trump Part 1 with details and Part 2 with his Sun-Moon Blend. And since his birth time is unavailable, here are a few astro-notes concerning the Sun-Moon Personality Blend of Bernie Sanders.
Plus, you may wish to review the famous clip of Senator Sanders's 2012 speech on the Senate floor: The American People Are Angry.
