A previous SO'W post displays the horoscope with details of the March 4, 1861 Inauguration of Abraham Lincoln. Included are the planetary positions of his March 4, 1865 Inauguration ceremony around the outer rim of the 1861 chart image.
Yale's Avalon Project has the text of President Lincoln's Inaugural Address of 1861 if you wish to refresh your memory. (Not that you were there or anything.)
And there's a post on my WordPress blog with a click-to-enlarge image of Lincoln's natal chart with his Assassination chart around it - there was a Mystic Rectangle pattern overhead!
When Lincoln drew his last breath, transiting Chiron was at tr Midheaven and he, his family, and our nation were deeply wounded...just as we've been with other assassinations, haven't we? Such murders shouldn't happen here, of all places. Yet they do.
The Goal (Mc) was the wounding (his death) of the American people resulting in the federal banking system being kept safe from Mr. Lincoln's reputed plan to tinker with and restrain rich bankers and their overseas cousins. So far, our current President Obama seems wary of too much tinkering with the rulers of the roost as evidenced by Washington's watered down 'financial reform' bill for Wall Street, a bill made toothlessly gummy where it should be ravenous for our protection from greedy wolves and cheats.
Yes, someone has distinct ideas about the path or destiny of America and they don't care what they have to do to dictate it. Our nation's natal Pluto out-of-bounds in Capricorn could be the culprit, saboteur and 'secret hand' that he is, yet our natal Venus and Mars are OOBs, too.
OOBs planets tend to operate without joining in with the rest of the chart's actors (planets) so OOBs energies tend to be 'pure' in the sense of a lack of synergistic influences which would be more stable if they were in bounds of the earthly plane and playing together nicely. (That's how I read it - you may disagree. I'm making 'OOBs' sound a lot like 'unaspected' I know.) Yet an OOBs condition can also indicate isolation and bring unusual success, too, and perhaps Venus, Mars, and Pluto have helped the US with that.
One never quite knows how an OOBs planet will act even when in aspectual relationship with another planet...it's kind of a wild card signature - and America is known for acting unilaterally.
Well, perhaps Mr. Obama is simply having to watch his back as he deals with the obscenely wealthy string-pullers of the global banking system. Assuming he isn't actually one of them, we can't really blame him, I suppose.
But he had to know the kind of people he was shilling for when he signed on for Oval Office duty!

Tell President Obama what's next for 2010
Under David Plouffe's name an email has been sent out asking us to fill out a form telling President Obama what we think the White House should focus on for 2010.
You may wish to add your two cents' worth to the form here.
Yes, everyone is back in the saddle now that the New Year has begun in earnest and today kind comments from readers of my last post have arrived: Clymela, Donna D, and libramoon have weighed in on a forward and backward look at America, and I thank them all!
To further my as-usual meager interpretation, Jonathan W wrote an excellent analysis of the Solar Return of the Inauguration 2009 chart which looks forward into 2010, the second year of Mr. Obama's presidency, by way of his presidency's 'birthday' chart, the Solar Return to Jan 20, 2009 @ 12:00 pm est, DC..
His presidency is toddling along, isn't it? So perhaps filling out the form linked above would be helpful to the little tyke whose chosen direction isn't quite what he was elected to take, so far.
Yes, I knew the wars would go on and would continue dive-bombing our economy at home.
Yes, I knew the Republican Party would do anything and everything to undermine a Democratic presidency and would play on race to do it. Tiresomely predictable, aren't they?
Still, I gotta love Republican Ron Paul criticizing Dick Cheney for criticizing our current President. Cheney! For 8 years Cheney hid himself away and could hardly mumble Boo to a flea...now he won't keep his duplicitous pie hole shut.
And no, I haven't changed my view that it's Pluto/Chiron's class warfare of the plutocracy - them against us - that's driving our government, both visible and invisible, and that this is a huge problem as long as we-the-people keep buying Washington's 'Ds vs Rs, libs vs cons, red vs blue' line of swill that divides us and keeps us weaker than we actually are. Old labels are so...passe in this 2nd decade of the New Millennium.
The upcoming Cardinal Cross that you've read so much about may be the stimulant that wakes up the sleeping giant and it's already happening in other nations. If you use America's 'Sibly' chart (July 4, 1776 @ 5:10 pm LMT, Philadelphia), then the first of the three Great Conjunctions of Jupiter and Uranus (see 'a forward and backward look at America' linked above for dates, degrees) will occur upon America's natal Ic which forms a midpoint picture due to house polarity (Ic = Mc)...
Jupiter/Uranus = Mc: fortunate powers of adaptability; optimism; a love of change and variety; attaining good knowledge and understanding; a fortunate turn in life; receiving recognition from improvements you've made. (Ebertin; Munkasey.)
Sounds good. Let's hope the fortunate turn raises all boats since the yachts of the power elite are doing just fine on their own as they bounce over our ruins.
Then there's the Uranus-to Ic-transit itself, which can be unsettling at best. Long term cycles of activity and endeavor can come to an abrupt end with this transit, or can change in an unexpected way. With Uranus it's always difficult to guess what The Awakener has in mind yet with Uranus linked so intimately with the founding of America - keywords: freedom, independence - perhaps we should fasten our seat belts and pull together as much as possible.
Jupiter-to-Ic marks the beginning of a 12-year cycle of gaining new experiences, learning, spiritual advances, and possibly taking one's home on-the-road. New business ventures would be a nice outcome of this transit (and new manufacturing ventures opening in long-shuttered plants are my idea of jobs creation and stimulating the economy.)
Perhaps the
'green jobs' revolution is being described here: Jupiter and Uranus conjunct natal Ic = scientific breakthroughs affecting our domestic scene? Of course, space exploration may be indicated by Jupiter/Uranus as well.
Yet wouldn't you just know? Theft of installed solar panels is on the rise and some have been offered for sale on Craig's List!
Plus, Jupiter and Uranus, while in US 4th house, will oppose US n Saturn in 10th house (Sibly chart) which indicates periods of difficulty:
Transit Jupiter opposing natal Saturn is a time when progress is blocked or delayed; circumventing rules and regulations doesn't work and responsibilities must be upheld in spite of the temptation to bend the rules.
Tr Uranus oppo n Saturn indicates a time when whatever has been easily gained (not by hard work) may be unexpectedly threatened or disrupted by circumstances and people over which we have no control; attempts to impose one's authority or seniority are fruitless. Traditions and past methods are under fire by opposing forces intent on enforcing a new order of things.
There. Now that last sounds more like what we've seen since the New Millennium and before, doesn't it? And I expect them to use 'new science' to effect their controlling, strong-armed "improvements." I remain wary.
And of course, since America's natal chart has a Sun/Saturn square, Jupiter and Uranus in their courses will square our nation's n Sun (the leader), both transits indicating obstacles and blockages which may be triggered by ego, pride, and over-extension (Sun/Jupiter in Spring 2011) and from severe tests of willpower and determination (Sun/Uranus beginning in 2012) during which one's reactions to challenges are all that are under one's control.
In similar fashion to the attacks of 9/11/01, the oft-used Sibly chart will show its resonation or lack of it with transits of Jupiter and Uranus conjunct natal Ic (00Ari53.) Finding time to check their Great Conjunction @ AP in all the other US natal charts will be one of my own challenges as 2010 proceeds.

2009/10/11: a forward and backward look at America
Craig Harris' article An Introspective Look at the Future of America starts off the New Year with a clear-eyed assessment of the monumental events and subsequent changes Americans have been expected to accept as necessary to prevent banking system collapse - then we're to believe that all is now well and improving.
Well? I wouldn't bother being an astrologer, however reluctant, if I were one who accepts things at face value and felt content with superficial bromides from Washington and from the Federal Reserve Bank, the privately owned entity that has engineered many market bubbles in the past, then wildly profited from their bursting every time. Duh.
Yes, bubbles of Jupiter/Neptune proportions are on our menu as we peek into 2010 for we know that 2009 was the Year of the Great Conjunction/s of the giant planets - one likes to expand and broaden into infinity, the other has a deep urge to merge. One can be on the greedy side, the other brings losses that are frequently hidden underneath lovely obfuscating veils. Their last great hook-up was only a few days ago on Dec 21, 2009 and all three conjs have occurred upon the US natal Moon - we-the-people.
Feeling targeted by grand schemers? Me, too.
Feeling hopeful for America's continued prosperity? Me, not so much. The Jupiter/Neptune combo is nothing to depend on unless a level of spiritual integrity is involved, and let's face it: we're talking Wall Street gentry and Capitol Hill thespians here, and we've experienced how they man the nation's helm.
Even the fake 'balloon boy' story is an expression of 2009's Jupiter/Neptune year and we know how that ended.
And if you know anything about Astrology you know that the effects of a major planetary conjunction don't simply 'fade away' at some magical point in time, but are part of the planets' ongoing cycle marked by their subsequent waxing squares (obstacles; backages: crisis in action), oppositions (stand-offs or fulfilment), and waning squares (crisis in consciousness), with more pleasant aspects in between at their sextiles and trines.
A conjunction is simply the Great Cosmic Clock of our solar system starting over at a new degree (in a new sign from the last conj) and represents a fresh cycle of activity relating to each planet's principles, and to the essence of their combination of energies when synthesized.
And of course, Saturn can come along and end an influence (including a sensitized eclipse degree's influence), and transiting Mars is capable of culminating or stimulating the action at a particular degree as well. Any transiting planet can put the period at the end of the cyclic or eclipsed sentence but it's usually Saturn or Mars doing the honors.
2010 into 2011:
Astrologically we may call 2010 the Year of Jupiter/Uranus. The Expander and the disruptive Awakener will meet 2 times in 2010 and going into 2011:
1. June 8, 2010 @ 00Aries18 ('Aries Point' of global manifestation; plus, Jupiter/Uranus = AP is a significator for major scientific breakthroughs - whether they aid or harm humankind is another matter entirely - hopefully, they will; and No, I don't believe that aliens in funky spaceships are knocking on Earth's door, yet upcoming eclipses will affect the natal chart of *Roswell, NM, as noted by Celeste Teal in her book, Eclipses);
2. Sept 19, 2010 @ 28Pis43;
3. Jan 4, 2011 @ 27Pis01.
Obviously the June 8, 2010 Great Conjunction of Jupiter and Uranus will soon be top of my blog menu for a closer look and you may follow along if you wish by reading an important source of backward/forward info on the pair: Jupiter Meets Uranus by Scotland's Anne Whitaker. Anne ably illustrates the important New-Millennium-influencing conjunction of Jupiter and Uranus of Feb 16, 1997 @ 5AQ56, or '6AQ' rounded off, a highly sensitized degree 'going forward'...or looking backward, for the future is built upon the past, is it not?
'6AQ' is the degree of Neptune at Islam's founding and of Neptune's position on Sept 11, 2001 so basically, 9/11/01 was a Neptune Return for Islam.
Therefore, 1997's Jupiter/Uranus = Neptune: delusion about improving life through constant modernization; avoiding reality in pursuit of dreams; visualizing new ideas or products you think will make the world a better place (and with 9/11/01 add: forcing those new ideas onto other people - jc); being guided by false perceptions; being quickly disappointed; a lack of prudence and far-sightedness; unearned gains (on one level: 'mystery' investors cleaned up on Wall St pre-9/11 - jc); a fortunate turn after losses; gain from the unexpected; strange conditions heighten individual awareness; a silver lining. (Munkasey; Ebertin: Tyl.) (Any, all, or none may apply.)
And with '6AQ' being conjunct US natal South Node, I've always felt that the attacks of 9/11 related to past behaviors (SN) of the US related to oil, gas, and subversive activities and deceptions (Neptune.)
What may be expected with the 2010/2011 Great Conjunction/s of Jupiter and Uranus is not easy to envision and if we could we'd probably be wrong with Uranus in the picture. That major events are on the horizon we may all agree especially with the Cardinal Cross involved in the Jupiter/Uranus hook-up of June 8, 2010.
You may find info on the sand-shifting Cardinal Cross pattern in a previous post which contains a link to expert astrologer Jessica Murray's article which holds out Hope for bedraggled mankind, so buffeted by totalitarian visions of the New World Order types while nobly struggling just to raise their families in decent manner.
Too bad that power elites of the world don't live up to even a moderate standard of human decency as do many people of 'the masses' which global power brokers consider to be far beneath them on their grandly imagined (Jupiter/Neptune) evolutionary ladder to Nowhere.

Obama Presidency's 2010 Solar Return sparks new analysis
Chart shown: 2010 Solar Return to the Inauguration 2009 chart, Washington, DC.
On Jan 20, 2010, the second year of Barack Obama's toddler presidency begins thus marking its first 'birthday' as noted in Astrology as a Solar Return for which I shall assume are obvious reasons.
A few days ago I posted an article here with the same horoscope displayed of the 2010 Solar Return to the 2009 Inauguration chart of Jan 20, 2009 (12:00 pm est Capitol Building, DC) so we could see how Year 2 might go along. Blogging time was brief and so it was a meager analysis on my end.
Jan 20, 2009 was, you may remember, an extremely frigid day in our nation's capital so Aretha Franklin wore a vervy new hat. Additionally, Hope sprang eternal in people's hearts if they had them.
Well, I'm pleased as can be to start off the New Year here on SO'W with a Guest Post by Jonathan W who modestly describes himself an Astrology beginner (we are all novices!), an author, screenwriter, and actor. His talents abound and Astrology is, I believe, one of them, for Jonathan has written an analysis of the 2010 Solar Return of the presidency of Barack Obama which I recommend to you, Mars Rx rising and all!
My original post is linked below. I now happily turn you over to Jonathan whose insights into the 2010 Solar Return chart may spark thoughts and provoke comments which are outcomes most welcome on this blog:
The 2010 Solar Return of the Obama Presidency by Jonathan W
What's interesting is how many retrograde planets are on the cusp of a House! One can expect the dismantling of goals Obama had assumed were a done deal -- Sixth House cusp obviously indicating Health Care Reform -- as well as the discovery that his ambitious plans are balancing on a slippery slope.
To have the ruler of the Midheaven, Mars -- in my view, Obama's attempt to appear less thoughtful and more of a tough Commander in Chief -- retrograde on the Ascendant suggests his efforts will either backfire or be stymied or frustrated.
Whatever the case, he'll find it very difficult to sell this "tough" version of himself due to the Public's reluctance to buy it -- illustrated in the Moon/Saturn opposition, that Aries Moon's square to Pluto/Mercury, and Saturn in Libra's overall insistence on authenticity and sincerity.
Add both Mars and then Mercury (important in the selling of the message) retrograde, the Cardinal t-square energies challenging Saturn's authority and Pluto/Mercury's hunger to mold the message with the Public Moon not buying any of it, and the chart just SCREAMS frustration! We could even end up with another version of his infamous Primary-era "Can I just eat my waffles in peace?" quote.
This Mars retrograde square Pluto/Mercury also suggests his efforts militarily (in Afghanistan?) will not pan out and will instead severely challenge his ability to spin this version of a War Leader Obama successfully.
But that Mars on the Ascendant and ruling the Midheaven is determined to be Commander in Chief even if that Moon feels more comfortable with -- or at least buys more readily -- the more thoughtful, feminine aspects of this Administration (Moon sextile Venus). Or maybe even the actual women in this Administration!
Perhaps importantly, Uranus on the cusp of the 9th may also indicate unexpected surprises from those overseas who are emotionally (Moon) and angrily/energetically (Moon in Aries) at odds with our Government (Saturn) and will challenge authority (Cardinal t-square) in ways that tap into and use power and perhaps even martyrdom (Pluto). And Mercury in the mix clearly suggests travel, Pluto hints at things done in the dark under the radar and the Cardinal energies allude to action, not planning. Action. This, too, can make it frustrating for Obama as that Retrograde Mars may make it difficult to respond effectively or the response will backfire and make things worse.
It is interesting that we find ourselves "revisiting" terrorism during Mercury's retrograde, though. Is this a foreshadowing of that Pluto/Mercury attempt to tap into our Fears via their relationship with the 6th/12th axis, the 12th in Cancer ruled by the Moon? Will the Government (Saturn) in this New Year attempt to more stringently control (Pluto) our movement or how we move (Mercury) in response to whatever Uranus on the 9th cusp might throw at us? Will Obama's response be more Draconian rules and regulations (Saturn square Pluto/Mercury) which we'll fight against (Cardinal t-square)?
(I'm trying not to notice the supportive sextile between Uranus and the North Node in Capricorn. If Obama and his handlers believe a "terrorist attack" will earn him support much like Bush got post-2001, they don't know much about Retrograde Mars, Saturn in Libra's abhorrence of anything inauthentic and insincere, and Uranus' tendency to be both unpredictable as well as impossible to control. Add to that the stutter-step of an inconjunct between the North Node and Neptune/Chiron -- and the Moon inconjunct Neptune/Chiron as well -- and the reaction from the People may be more a visceral anger (Moon in Aries square Pluto/Mercury) at Government (Saturn) than overwhelming support and gratitude that Obama "protected" us. Remember, this Moon has a relationship with caring Venus, not hyper-macho Mars.)
It'll be an uphill battle for Obama, though, as Mars Retrograde on the Ascendant can also strongly suggest a sapping of energy and drive.
Just recently, Obama revealed that this first year in office has left him "exhausted". Retrograde Mars on the Ascendant can suggest as well a tendency toward accidents, clumsiness, possibly even something involving surgery. And with the 8th spotlighted by Jupiter/Neptune, that's certainly possible.
The main thing in this chart is that Retrograde Mars. Being on the most important angle of the chart, the frustration, the inability to succeed quickly, the draining and sapping of energy ... all of those will be hallmarks of this year in Office for The One. In today's world of 24-hour media and a Public which is finally seeing beneath the Neptunian Allure of the Primary-era Obama, a struggling President unable to act effectively is exactly what we don't want or need to see.
"This thing we call "failure" is not the falling down, but the staying down." ~ Mary Pickford

Dec 31, 2009's Blue Moon Eclipse excites worldwide interest
SpaceWeather News for Dec 31, 2009
SUNSPOT SURGE: 2009 is ending with a flurry of sunspots. The month of December has had more "spotted days" than any previous month of the year by a significant margin, and all of the month's sunspot groups have been members of new Solar Cycle 24.
Could this herald an end to the deepest solar minimum in nearly a century? That remains to be seen. Sunspot counts and trends are shown on today's edition of SpaceWeather News.
SOMETHING NEW: Turn your iPhone or iPod Touch into a field-tested satellite tracker! Spaceweather.com presents the Satellite Flybys app.
BLUE MOON ECLIPSE: For the first time in almost 20 years, there's going to be a "Blue Moon" on New Year's Eve. In Europe, sky watchers will witness an even rarer event--an eclipse of a Blue Moon on New Year's Eve. What are the odds?
Probabilities and observing tips may be found at SpaceWeather.com.

Did Orwell's World sneak up on us?
Welcome to Orwell's World 2010
By John Pilger
In Nineteen Eighty-Four, George Orwell described a superstate called Oceania, whose language of war inverted lies that "passed into history and became truth. 'Who controls the past', ran the Party slogan, 'controls the future: who controls the present controls the past'.
~:~
'Oceania' seems a thinly veiled reference to America as 'Atlantis', don't you think?
Is anyone there? Back from holidays? I'm about to leave again for the weekend for festivities continue here (even Sun Caps must have birthdays sometimes) so slam a door to let me know you're echoing around in here...hmm? Wouldja?

Astrology of the 'underwear bomber' of Dec 25, 2009
Some of the most interesting writing and reporting I've found about the Christmas Day 2009 'underwear bomber' incident is at infowars.com which includes speculations about the case's oddities and inconsistencies, along with eye witness accounts.
And from CNN's site is a Timeline of key dates of Mr. Mutallab's activities and helpfully includes the approximate time of his bomb attempt about 20 minutes prior to Flight 253's final approach over Detroit as being "shortly before 12:00 pm ET."
Being out of town for the holiday, this situation was not snooped into by yours truly bwo Astrology's lens until today so I'm just now catching up on my reading of this 'full body scan justification' of terrorism ham-fistedly attempted by a young man from Nigeria, Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab, who seemed to observers to be "in a trance" as negotiations for his boarding of Northwest Flight 253, Amsterdam, were being held.
In this mystery play, a "well-dressed man" of possible Indian descent aided Mutallab by implying to the airport desk agent that he was a 'Sudan refugee', a refugee who would still, if law were followed, need embassy clearance in order to board an international flight as a refugee. Wheels were apparently greased for Mutallab and perhaps the well-dressed man was an embassy agent.
Today I am not at liberty to study fully the chart/s of Christmas Day, Amsterdam or Detroit, but an interesting Sabian Symbol applies here because of its word picture and the symbolism of 'traveling' of the astrological Moon which on December 25, 2009 was at '13 Aries'...by "shortly before 12:00 pm ET" over Detroit, the Moon had reached 15Ari14, however, yet I shall mention the symbol of Luna's earlier degree because it so aptly applies to the suspect's aborted actions:
And perhaps you'll be interested in Christmas Day 2009's bulldozing, 'riding roughshod' Sun Cap/Moon Aries blend and its Images for Integration while noting that imperial America is often associated with the ancient Roman Empire.
This Earth-Fire combo of energies is known for its wilful and intensely ambitious character that insists on taking command - in similar fashion to the manipulative saboteur Pluto oriental (planet rising just before the Sun) in controlling Capricorn, on Dec 25, 2009. (Sun conjunct Pluto is often a time of such subversive activities each year and shines a spotlight on power-mad inclinations most usually.)
"A Roman city-state is attacked by barbarians but its solid walls keep the marauding bandits at bay...An impetuous entrepreneur persuades a conservative banker to back an ambitious project."
(Sun Sign-Moon Sign, Chas & Suzi Harvey; my bold on 'impetuous' because it echoes the Sabian Symbol Key Word for '13 Aries.')
Well, full body scans, here we come. How handy that the technology and equipment for them are so readily available for immediate implementation. Hmm?
And from CNN's site is a Timeline of key dates of Mr. Mutallab's activities and helpfully includes the approximate time of his bomb attempt about 20 minutes prior to Flight 253's final approach over Detroit as being "shortly before 12:00 pm ET."
Being out of town for the holiday, this situation was not snooped into by yours truly bwo Astrology's lens until today so I'm just now catching up on my reading of this 'full body scan justification' of terrorism ham-fistedly attempted by a young man from Nigeria, Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab, who seemed to observers to be "in a trance" as negotiations for his boarding of Northwest Flight 253, Amsterdam, were being held.
In this mystery play, a "well-dressed man" of possible Indian descent aided Mutallab by implying to the airport desk agent that he was a 'Sudan refugee', a refugee who would still, if law were followed, need embassy clearance in order to board an international flight as a refugee. Wheels were apparently greased for Mutallab and perhaps the well-dressed man was an embassy agent.
Today I am not at liberty to study fully the chart/s of Christmas Day, Amsterdam or Detroit, but an interesting Sabian Symbol applies here because of its word picture and the symbolism of 'traveling' of the astrological Moon which on December 25, 2009 was at '13 Aries'...by "shortly before 12:00 pm ET" over Detroit, the Moon had reached 15Ari14, however, yet I shall mention the symbol of Luna's earlier degree because it so aptly applies to the suspect's aborted actions:
"A Bomb Which Failed to Explode Is Now Safely Concealed"...IMPETUOUSNESS...
positive manifestation: a dramatic rejection of any accomplishment falling at all short of very deep or hallowed purpose;
negative/unconscious/shadow side: a waste of opportunity and a futile expenditure of self through vanity or petulance. (The Sabian Symbols in Astrology, Dr. Marc Edmund Jones.)
And perhaps you'll be interested in Christmas Day 2009's bulldozing, 'riding roughshod' Sun Cap/Moon Aries blend and its Images for Integration while noting that imperial America is often associated with the ancient Roman Empire.
This Earth-Fire combo of energies is known for its wilful and intensely ambitious character that insists on taking command - in similar fashion to the manipulative saboteur Pluto oriental (planet rising just before the Sun) in controlling Capricorn, on Dec 25, 2009. (Sun conjunct Pluto is often a time of such subversive activities each year and shines a spotlight on power-mad inclinations most usually.)
"A Roman city-state is attacked by barbarians but its solid walls keep the marauding bandits at bay...An impetuous entrepreneur persuades a conservative banker to back an ambitious project."
(Sun Sign-Moon Sign, Chas & Suzi Harvey; my bold on 'impetuous' because it echoes the Sabian Symbol Key Word for '13 Aries.')

Jefferson, Benet, Emerson, and a Mad Scientist
Famous Quotes complimentary and brought to you by Information Clearing House:
"We thought, because we had power, we had wisdom." Stephen Vincent Benet
"I hope our wisdom will grow with our power, and teach us, that the less we use our power the greater it will be." Thomas Jefferson
"A person will worship something, have no doubt about that. We may think our tribute is paid in secret in the dark recesses of our hearts, but it will out. That which dominates our imaginations and our thoughts will determineour lives, and our character. Therefore, it behooves us to be careful what we worship, for what we are worshipping we are becoming." Ralph Waldo Emerson.

And I believe it was John Lithgow playing Mad Scientist in the 1984 cult film Buckaroo Banzai Across the 8th Dimension who intoned so very wisely:
"Character is what we are when we are in the dark."

Dec 31 2009's Blue Moon Eclipse sparks articles!
Expert astrologer Julie Demboski has written an elucidating analysis of the Blue Moon Eclipse of Dec 31, 2009 with which we end the year and begin the next decade of the New Millennium.
Plus, Julie's article contains a link to a different astrological perspective on 2009's Blue Moon Eclipse with its lovely sounding name!
If you missed it, my own Blue Moon Eclipse post with chart image may be found here.
The Lunar Eclipse of Dec 31 perfects in Washington DC @ 2:12:34 pm est and the first US natal planet to rise in the eclipse chart is Uranus in Gemini which will bring along the unexpected. No predictions from me about this rising for as they say about freedom and independence loving Uranus, whatever you expect...it isn't that.
And if you click to enlarge the eclipse chart you'll see that Dec 31 2009's Uranus/Neptune midpoint @ 8Pis50 (Uran/Nep is a signature of the New World Order from their Great Conj/s of 1993) has 'caught up' with America's natal Ceres (security issues) and our natal Pluto/Chiron midpoint, a duo of plutocracy, oppression, corporatism, fascism, racism, primal violence, class warfare, etc.
(Dick Cheney's Secondary Progressed Pluto and Chiron - they are conjunct in Leo in his natal chart - were precisely upon his Progr'd Midheaven, The Goal Point...on 9/11/01.)
This 'new world order' agenda is culminating before our eyes, m'peops...see sidebar to your right of Quotes - the first one from Henry Kissinger concerning President Obama's current opportunity to further the power elite's (sucky) New World Order.
And you may wish to take all "Age of Aquarius" stuff with a grain of salt because they're using it against us! If the power elite triumphs over us, their view of our global future has nothing at all to do with the beautiful, peaceful Aquarian principles that New Age types and World Servers have been dreaming of...
