New Moon in Leo tonight; Fed to meet Tuesday 8.10.10

Tonight's New Moon 17Leo25 perfects at 11:08 pm edt, the start of a new cycle of activity for the month. Be sure to check out Mandi Lockley's Lions in the Dark post concerning the Leo New Moon.

And tomorrow, August 10, 2010, the Fed is to meet to talk about how things are going and to plan their next move, if any.

Therefore, the following partial text is from Franklin D. Roosevelt's 1933 Inaugural Address. The bold is my own emphasis in view of Tuesday's Fed meeting:

“Practices of the unscrupulous money changers stand indicted. True, they have tried, but their efforts have been cast in the pattern of an outworn tradition. Faced by failure of credit, they have proposed only the lending of more money. Stripped of the lure of profit by which to induce our people to follow their false leadership, they have resorted to exhortations, pleading tearfully for restored confidence. They know only the rules of a generation of self-seekers. The money changers have fled from their high seats in the temple of our civilization. We may now restore that temple to the ancient truths. There must be an end to a conduct in banking and in business which too often has given to a sacred trust the likeness of callous and selfish wrongdoing. Small wonder that confidence languishes, for it thrives only on honesty, on honor, on the sacredness of obligations, on faithful protection, on unselfish performance.”

How history repeats with slight tweaks!

Today, August 9, 2010, is the 4th time that transiting Pluto opposes US natal Venus 3Can06 (Sibly) - yet the DOW closed slightly up today. The next and final opposition will be on October 18, 2010. Then lumbering, transformative Pluto will move on to oppose US natal Jupiter, not a transit I'm looking forward to since pessimism abounds, and aspirations must be tamped down - including political ones.

The 3 hits from manipulative Pluto to US n Jupiter 5Can56 are:

1. January 17, 2011
2. July 8, 2011
3. November 20, 2011

As you see, 2011 is our Pluto-to-Jupiter year.

Of course, other helpful transits and progressions will be occurring simultaneously along with difficult ones. And as for the November 2010 midterm elections, the Pluto oppositions to Venus may indicate opposition to lady candidates, or perhaps they show a relationship (opposition) between lady politicians and puppet master Pluto, the Dragon who guards the wealth.

This could be, since on November 2, 2010, tr Venus is Rx in early Scorpio (co-ruled by Pluto), Pluto is within orb of opposing our nation's natal Venus, yet tr Venus sextiles tr Pluto. A Venus-Pluto sextile may indicate control in relationships with possibly a dominant-submissive vibe. No, sextiles (60 degrees) aren't always 'good' - there's a potential for death to be used as an asset such as past memories that are used to motivate others to help in the present, perhaps to the point of using blackmail.

Another societal difficulty we're currently mired in is well-described by the ongoing transit of deceptive Neptune, planet of inspiration (and fraud) to US natal Moon 27AQ10 (the people) which was first exact on March 13, 2010.

There are two hits remaining, one of them week after next:

Wednesday August 25, 2010, and the last exact hit (thankfully) will occur on January 14, 2011. This is a dispiriting contact bringing us a sense of rootlessness and we may expect foreclosures, homelessness, and possible refugeeism to continue. Water damage is almost a given with oceanic Neptune on our case, and the BP-Gulf Oil Gusher is part of the transit, too. Plus, more cases of fraud may be unveiled which is no surprise given how slack society - and society's 'false leaders' - have become.

A Trickle of Good News?

Yet what do 'they' always say is one of the good things about Astrology? It tells us when transits and their influences will end. And these difficult influences will end, m'peops!

They will end.

Blog Note FYI: posts may be more sporadic than usual for a few days since my phone and internet service provider is in the neighborhood all this week so my service has been 'off-n-on' today. Right now, I have internet but no dial tone!

Another Note: lately I'm studying the 'Jefferson chart' for the US which is why I add 'Sibly' when planetary positions are from the US Sibly chart (July 4, 1776 5:10 pm LMT); the Jefferson chart is for same date, 6:30 pm LMT. jc

9/11 Truth billboard goes up in California (hurrah!)

If you've read this blog more than once or twice, then you may be aware that I consider the Attacks of 9/11 to be either a false flag op compliments of the US government, or at the very least, 9/11 was enabled by Washington.

So you know I love this: the first 9/11 billboard advising us to question the truth has been put up in California, apparently on Thursday, August 5, 2010.

If architects and engineers doubt the official version of that day, then why won't the rest of us?

It Still Matters What Really Happened

After all, the 9/11 attacks allegedly gave 'legitimacy' to the SCOTUS-installed Bush-Cheney dual presidency and are still being used by President Obama as Washington's 'justification' for invading the Middle East, a justification that I intuited was bogus from the start.

Plus, the US has a history of setting up explosive events (false flag ops) in order to ramp up the emotions of Americans (and make us feel our interests and safety are at stake) so we'll march to war to do the bidding of the power elite. The ploy has worked so well for them in the past, why stop, right?

So let's question the official story. Because 9/11/01 is most definitely one of those emotionally manipulative, explosive events.

On the Big Hole America Is In (Gerald Celente video)

The other day, Trends Research Institute's Gerald Celente called in to the RegularGuys Radio broadcast to explain a few things about the Big Hole America is in.

And as you know, there's no way to explain our condition without lambasting the politicians, banksters, and other social tinkerers who plopped us there in order to further their fascist, totalitarian agenda which now enforces the chaos of dire changes upon the entire planet.

If you notice on the Trends Research Institute's website, Mr. Celente's predictions are compared to Nostradamus' predictions which most people know about because of the King of Alarm Solar Eclipse of August 11, 1999, in a difficult Series (1 North) relating to finances and which cautions on acting hastily since 'info is is distorted and possibly false.' (Brady's Predictive Astrology.) You'll remember how antsy Bush and Cheney were to march to war for they had to make the most of the emotions we Americans were feeling then as engendered by the attacks of 9/11.

Yes, 1N has been perking along every 18.6 years since its inception on January 4, 1639 with Sun/Moon 13Cap48. Interestingly enough, St. George's name (of Dragon fame) was in play in 1639 as the imperialist British Empire was making its staining mark upon the good people of India...and US-UK strong-armed paternalism continues apace in the New Millennium.

1N and the Jan 4, 2011 Solar Eclipse, though in the 13N Series, are linked bwo critical degree (13Cap) even though they're 372 years apart: both are in Capricorn, sign of government, law, and business, and both occur on January 4, as noted.

But 13N brings a different vibe to society:

The energy concerns large, ambitious group projects and associations; a previously existing bond is broken but joint achievement follows (paraphrasing Predictive Astrology.) This Series is seldom considered to be the Pre-Natal Eclipse Series of the United States of America yet its flavor certainly describes our nation's founding; yet one would have to use its date of initial manifestation for it to be used as our nation's PE: August 14, 1776.

This 'works' if one accepts August 1776 as the actual time that the complete signing (s) of the Declaration of Independence by all delegates was achieved (it was) with Sun/Moon @ 21Leo52 conjunct Venus 22Leo46, Mercury 9Leo52, and warring Mars 18Can13, conjunct the degree of the current Solar Eclipse of July 11, 2010 (19Can24.)

Yes, speaking of trends, the rigid Fixed Cross Solar Eclipse of August 1999 foretold the dire warnings spouted by George Bush and his team especially once the attacks of 9/11/01 had been carried out upon NYC's commercial complex, the World Trade Center, and upon the good yet unsuspecting people of NYC.

And of course, Bush's famously inappropriate 'just go shopping' advice might be considered merely chuckle-headed if it weren't so draconian and telling - particularly considering the 1999 eclipse's other title, the King of Terror Eclipse.

How apt a title for starting a propagandistic "war on terror" campaign to mark the New Millennium and undermine the laws and fortunes of America! So tell me again: who are the real terrorists who ushered in the New Millennium - al Qaeda, or the hole-digging, coup'd-by-neocon-Zionists US government?

'Poison tap water' = flouridated water (it's in toothpaste, too)

This is an alert that, for the people's sakes, should be passed round and round.

So that's how concentration camp inmates remained so docile...leave it to the nazis.

Right now I'm thinking...population control.

Yes, Virginia, there really are select gaggles of men and women in the world who go to any lengths to retain their high and mighty advantages while bethinking themselves to be above the rest.

Truth is, they act in primal, subhuman ways toward all humankind and are influenced by dark forces that will devour them alive, not promote them. Which makes them really rather stupid when you think about it. Suckas.

Wildfires approach Chernobyl

Russia's over-centraliztion of power is being blamed in some quarters for the ineffectual fighting of the 500 wildfires engulfing Russia these last two weeks.

Perhaps it's kinda like putting FEMA out of sight and out of effectiveness into the bowels of Homeland Security here in America.

Even worse news from Russia is that fire is approaching the Chernobyl site, a disaster we shall lament in perpetuity.

It's astoundingly tragic but such are the times of Cardinal T-Squares and Grand Crosses. Where will it end? The horoscope of the Chernobyl disaster (April 1986) has Neptune @ 5-6 Capricorn, where Pluto, planet of nuclear power, now traverses.

Pluto to Neptune: struggles for ideological and/or spiritual control; power becomes an illusion or can be slowly eroded by undermining forces that go undetected.

Meanwhile, my heart goes out to the Russian people, to the drowning Pakistani people, and to the people of Japan who've just honored their dead killed so horrifically by the US bombing of Hiroshima...the 'abomination of desolation'.

Wish I could type more now but a massive thunderstorm is approaching very suddenly so it's time to shut down...

The special interests of John Boehner (video)

Teachers speak to John Boehner concerning his comment lumping them in with 'special interests' which, to be fair, is only Mr. Boehner doing what they all tend to do: mouth off in an attempt to score political points (with his special interest supporters) and undermine a Democrat in the White House by demonizing the President's attempt to aid struggling state budgets.

Yes, I know centralization of government is one of the big goals these days - it's an American argument so old it has gray whiskers and is quite balding on top.

Still, I personally know many teachers in my region of the country and I do love this video!

Jon Stewart Gives Up on Congress (video)

The Daily Show With Jon Stewart	Mon - Thurs 11p / 10c
I Give Up - 9/11 Responders Bill
www.thedailyshow.com
Daily Show Full Episodes Political Humor Tea Party

This video may display in an odd fashion but Jon's rant on I Give Up (on Congress) should not be missed especially if you, too, are steamed about Congress' failure to pass legislation to fund health care for the First Responders of 9/11 who now suffer grievously.

Sorry to say, but I gave up on Congress years ago and I can tell you the exact moment: when I watched them frog march to the Bush-Cheney war-drum beat and practically heil themselves to their Germanic 'commander-in-chief', that self-described 'propagnada catapulter', Dubya. That did it for me. How about you?

3 years in, econo-crash continues (video)

Fed up with the fairy tale that our economy is in recovery - that this a a Summer of Recovery? Yes, I wish the tale were true, too, but Gerald Celente disagrees. August 2010 is the 3rd anniversary of the US financial collapse and 3 years in, we're still being fed pablum, bromides, slogans, and lies while many Americans eat gruel for their one meal a day. American children go to bed hungry while endless war continues to be funded.

There are forces in the world that decided on America's demise and as long as plutocrats rule we'll stay on a downward course with little if any correction. We'll continue to hear finagled stats and numbers that promote political aims but which give only lip service to easing the suffering across this land.

Billionaires are banding together to donate half their fortunes with much of the funds going to benefit other nations even though doing business in America is what made it possible for many of them to profit so abundantly. Everyone is supposed to say, Ahhh, how sweet of 'em, while their tax situations benefit handsomely from their calculated largess.

Gerald Celente says our schools and government look backward, not forward. Remember how much was made about Ben Bernanke's input because he's a Great Depression expert? At the time, I thought that could also work against us - he knows the financial crash drill, the ins and outs of how to collapse the US economy. He of the Fed also knows that he who prints the money rules the government.

Okay, I'll hush now. But please watch the 6-min-31-sec video even though it isn't fairy-tale-like. In it, Mr. Celente provides another dose of reality which the transit of Saturn to US natal Neptune (grim reality or making dreams real - guess which one for the American people) in August-September 2009 should have made clear before now like a huge splash of cold water (politicians' lies notwithstanding.)

Actually, perhaps it did and is probably one of the many reasons Americans have little confidence in the US government right now: with the so-called American Dream squashed and shown to be a Big Lie, we've seen the government's true oligarchic, plutocratic face that cares only for the rich, and its face is much uglier than we first imagined.


Hermesia looks backward and forward simultaneously which is the best way to figure out the present.

Plus, be sure to check out Lynn Hayes' excellent article from 2009 concerning Financial Collapse 2008 and the futurist predictions of Gerald Celente: Revolution or Renaissance?

Sign of a very bad idea: US church to burn the Koran

Well, how groovy is this? To 'mark 9/11' a Florida church is asking other churches to join in a burning of the Koran, a book of evil, they say.

So I shall assume that these same Christians missed the one about loving our enemies as ourselves. And apparently, the sin of lying the US into an illegal and endless war that bombs, kills, and maims innocent women and children can hardly be said to resemble an upstanding, 'Christian' thing to do.

Are they completely tone deaf, trying to 'speed up' Armageddon, or simply daft as a bunch of bed begs?

This book burning behavior may have been spurred by the proposed near-Ground-Zero construction of a mosque in NYC. That doesn't sit well with me either, but I do think respect for other people's religion is part of the reason America was founded.

Or does religious tolerance in the US become only lip service when your emotions run high enough to ignore other people's rights?
