1999, the New Millennium, 2012, and Planets All in a Row 2011
by Jude Cowell
May 10, 2011: as of today it is possible to see with the naked eye a fabulous celestial show: a line-up of Mercury, Venus, Mars, and Jupiter in the wee hours of the morning for the next few weeks.
Even quirkily inclined Uranus and shy Neptune may be viewed if environmental conditions are right and you have a decent pair of binoculars! (Do let me know here in a Comment if you spy them. Or message: judecowell at gmail dot com.)
Now some folk are relating the current line-up to the potential devastation expected in 2012 though astronomers at NASA are poo-pooing the idea. They say that no similar configuration is on the Universe's schedule for December 21, 2012, the end date of the Mayan Calendar. Yet what the date is the end of, no one really knows. Apparently planet Venus is involved and is said to have been the culprit in an earlier cosmic disaster some millions of years ago; the Sunspot Cycle is also implicated.
For further investigation on such topics as 2012, you may be interested in a website I recently discovered called Shift of the Ages along with New World Order 2012 which addresses such head-scratching topics.
Plus, there's a classic A&E program that mentions the Mayan Calendar 2012 question and is narrated by the excellent Leonard Nimoy - click for a video of Part 1, then click through for the rest, if you wish, for it remains quite watchable as Planet Earth nears 2012.
Is Fear of 2012 Really Necessary?
Personally I suspect that one-world-government types have for decades played upon and manipulated public fears (perhaps assisted by the ancient cataclysm mentioned above involving Venus which, if so, rests deep within our Collective Unconscious) for their own power-grabbing purposes. Something is coming up that they will use to justify their increased control and reordering of our lives.
Such social manipulators use Astrology, too, you know!
And their agenda was ramped up after the Biblical portents in the Book of Revelation became visible astrologically in the horoscope of the King of Terror Solar Eclipse (aka, the 'King of Alarm Eclipse', or 'The Mother of All Eclipses') which Nostradamus predicted centuries ago and which manifested on August 11, 1999. The article lines you up with the eclipse horoscope if you wish a view.
1999: A Major Shift of Cosmic Energies
The mid-degrees of the Fixed signs (Taurus, Leo, Scorpio, and Aquarius) are spotlighted in the August 11, 1999 chart and in Astrology have been known for ages as the Oxen Point, Lion Point, Eagle Point, and Angel Point.
So I must ask you: since the New Millennium began have we not experienced an abundance of misery and fear-mongering upon the Earth since God's angels (timed by the 1999 eclipse and predicted in Revelation) let go the four corners of 'the winds of war and strife'?
The Ultimate Dilemma
In an ultimate and eternal sense, all I can say is that everyone who ever lived, lives now, or will be born of Planet Earth has a true condition before God - what our Creator thinks of each one of us, not what we or anyone else thinks. (Mankind's ego need not apply!)
So to me, given the current climate of natural and other disasters - with more to come - it seems that the most important thing anyone could ever do in his or her life is to examine one's heart of hearts and attend to and repair His opinion - the only one that truly matters - in order to improve one's status according to The Light one has received!

Week of May 9, 2011: China to Washington DC
With China's counterpart officials to US Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner visiting Washington DC this week for meetings, I've had a peek at the natal horoscope of China and the nation's current progressions.
Click to view China's 1949 national horoscope which I published in 2010 on the occasion of Mr. Geithner's visit there. Plus, here's a creaky old post from way back in April 2006 when China came to visit the Bush-Cheney White House and international property rights were in the news. But what they actually discussed in 2006 is anyone's guess. My guess: their topic was more on finances than not.
Y'all Come!
And of course, President Hu Jintao of China was just here in January 2011 to mull over financial 'frictions' under the rays of a 'revolutionary' crisis-degreed Full Moon.
Now you know of the planetary line-up in action-oriented, Mars-ruled Aries these last few weeks with Mars @ '29 Aries' (a crisis or critical degree) today which conjoins China's Secondary Progressed Moon now in the same degree which times China's visit across the seas (Moon) to the US for it takes a lot of martian energy for such a journey. Of course, we may expect frustration, anger, and possibly quarrels to be part of any Moon/Mars contact along with a need for protection from danger (of a US default?)
In the Sabian Symbols, Marc Edmund Jones gives '29Ari' as "A Celestial Choir Singing"...VENERATION.
positive expression: a gift for the effective articulation or manifestation of those eternal realities through which all people find themselves at one.
negative/unconscious/shadow side: self-deception and an acceptance of every fantasy which will flatter the ego. (Wonder who's trying to flatter whom? jc)
Isn't veneration of ancestors an important part of Chinese culture? I'm envisioning lighted lanterns floating across water.
In The 360 Degrees of the Zodiac, Adriano Carelli gives the word picture for '29Ari' as: "A Heavy War Tank."
Today's Sun degree and China's Secondary Progressed ASC degree '19 Taurus' = "A Newly Formed Continent" (usually thought to represent America, of course)...ORIGINALITY.
pos: a revolutionary potentiality by which each individual is enabled to remodel the entire face of the universe. (Or to establish a one-world-government? jc)
neg/unconscious/shadow side: a genius for futile turmoil and persistent upset.
Carelli gives '19Tau' as: "A Maid of Dazzling Beauty Pouring Water from a Jug into a Pitcher" which echoes the sign of Aquarius, yes, but in this instance, it reminds me of mankind's old habit of robbing Peter to pay Paul, or, of transferring funds or making a payment. My guess is that the 'pitcher' belongs to China.
However, since Carelli recommends not rounding up in degrees, let's consider the word picture of today's Sun and China's Sec ASC for '18Tau' which may seem more apt considering the financial relationship between China and America these days and the links between Taurus the Bull and worldly greed for gold and wealth:
'18Tau' = "Two Furious Bulls Goring Each Other."
So we see described a dazzling beauty or two goring bulls going at one another: I'll let you be the decider on this one!

Also this week, the US Congress returns to the scene of their crimes: Capitol Hill. And here we go again.

Spotlighting the Illuminati Network
A SO'W Special: here is a second Guest Post, this time concerning the topic of the secretive Illuminati by the author of the New World Order 2012 blog:
The Illuminati Network
by New World Order 2012
Many people are talking about the Illuminati, but do we really know who they are?
Some people say that they are aliens from another world, and they are trying to control human beings. Other people say that the Illuminati consist of people who are very wealthy and have a lot of power in the society. Who is right and who is wrong?
I would like to share some theories about the Illuminati Network.
The way that I see it, the Illuminati consist of two types of people: the Masters and the Puppets, those people we think are a part of the Illuminati are probably just Puppets.
There are many Illuminati puppets in the world, and the Illuminati use these people to fulfill their plan. The Masters are not visible in the media, well not as much as the Puppets, but they love to sit back and watch their plan being executed perfectly by the Puppets. The Masters are the brain and the Puppets are the body of the Illuminati.
The Masters are mostly wealthy and old families. These families have existed for many hundreds of years, and their goal has been world domination. These families “buy” other people to represent them in the media. The people who have been bought by the Masters receive fame, money and other desires that a human being can have, but they literally sell their soul to the Illuminati.
Who are the Illuminati puppets then? Well you might see many Illuminati Puppets in the media: singers, actors, TV-hosts and other people who are very famous and very popular. These people are all contributing to the Illuminati, because they have sold themselves to a cause started by the Illuminati Master many centuries ago.
This is how the Illuminati Network can be explained in a very simple way. Some of you might add that there are other complex networks within the network, and I totally agree, but this article is mainly written for those people who are new to the Illuminati.

A fake bin Laden story? (video); the Reaganomics Eclipse of 1981
Update 5:15 pm edt: the Pentagon has released 5 video snippets of what is supposedly
Osama bin Laden rehearsing with a blackened beard (which looks fake to me!) Audio has not been included.
Original post begins here:
Now I'm definitely not the only one entertaining doubts about the US government's shifting story of the Osama bin Laden raid and assassination in Pakistan.
Did a raid take place? I believe so with purloining of computers and documents the possible target and goal (either to garner intell - or to destroy it.) But was Osama bin Laden himself on-site? Maybe, maybe not. This could explain how the White House situation room crew, including the President, could have watched the raid on a live feed, yet are said not to have witnessed the actual killing of bin Laden.
Well, economist and journalist Dr. Paul Craig Roberts, former Treasury official in the Reagan administration and 'father of Reaganomics' (see Reaganomics Eclipse's horoscope link, below), has his own doubts which he shares here.
And as I've mentioned before, my opinion is that when the mainstream media gets its fat self piled onto a huge bandwagon to promote a particular story or event 24/7 (9/11, Financial Collapse 2008, etc), be wary of their coordinated corporate propaganda for we are most probably being scammed or, at the least, the whole truth is not being revealed in order to protect the guilty while promoting the US imperialist agenda.
My latest thought is that rather than using bin Laden's demise as justification for ending America's war on the Middle East, it will be used to further the one-world-government cabal's Endless War agenda. Whether this is correct, we'll soon know, won't we? For war expansions and extensions will turn up in the MSM as the so-called War on Terror marches on and our freedoms in the US continue to be deleted as elsewhere across the globe.
Part 1 of 2:
Part 2 of 2:
~:~
As Dr. Roberts notes, such tactics continue to be used by the US government because they work. "Remember the USS Maine", "Remember Pearl Harbor", and so on, as we're lead in a wrong direction by a frothed-up, emotion-based patriotism into conflict - and diplomacy be da*ned. A more recent example is the Bush-Cheney administration's well-timed release of a bin Laden video threatening America just before the 2004 presidential election.
And with the US public ever mindful of its safety and security, it worked and war hawk neocons were elected. (They couldn't be 're-elected' in 2004 since it was a corrupt SCOTUS who installed them in 2000.)
Blogging in America
So just after the bin Laden raid in Pakistan on May 1, 2011, I posted here about my misgivings over the story's truthiness and was informed by an Anonymous commenter that I was being waaay too cynical. Now it's 6 days later during which the White House's version of the raid has morphed and re-morphed - and I don't think I've been cynical enough. Thus, this posting of Dr. Roberts' own misgivings today. If you have about 20 minutes to spare, listen to his opinion and see what you believe for yourself!
Personally I don't completely agree with all of what he says, but it's worth a listen if you're concerned about who will be the next US president and the possible propagandistic tactics meant to assure it.
Actually, this situation reminds me of some of the chart factors in the May 17, 2011 Full Moon Horoscope (a New Moon chart for May 3, 2011 is shown, too, both set for Washington DC) particularly a midpoint picture with fraudulent, deceptive Neptune in its own murky sign of Pisces (which is also a sign of the military and Neptune's 'fog of war'.) The revealing picture contains the energies of the World Banker/Pentagon/Wheeler-Dealer duo of expansive Jupiter, (aka, the General) and powerful, subversive, super-wealthy Pluto, planet of assassination and secret control...
Jupiter/Pluto = Neptune: the inclination to deceive others; cheating and seducing; suffering damage from others without being aware of it; a general disappointment; confused plans or goals; adjusting the data; omitting key facts; working a situation into one's own agenda. (Ebertin; Munkasey; Tyl.)
In addition, Michael Munkasey's details on the Jupiter/Pluto midpoint's potentials within Politics and Business seem applicable to the US raid carried out in Pakistan whose government was either involved or not involved and either knew or didn't know that bin Laden was hunkered down in their neighborhood for years - or, was already dead:
Now I don't enjoy fussing about President Obama's intentions or motivations but I should add here two midpoint pictures now formed in his Secondary Progressions, one of which sits upon US natal MC (Midheaven, The Goal, @ 00Lib53, a World Point of Manifestation - Sibly chart)...any, all, or none may apply as usual...
Sec Mars/Pluto = Sun: a strong, unyielding will; achievements attained by superior technique or endurance; violent measures; a shock caused by a Higher Power.
Sec Mars/Pluto = US natal MC: unusual capabilities for advancement in life; facing overwhelming force without power; danger; an operation; learning to gain control and use powerful or extreme measures for increasing your status or standing (in the polls? jc); fulfillment of certain ambitions by attaining influence.
And the picture in Mr. Obama's Progressed chart that has concerned me since Inauguration 2009:
Sec Saturn/NN = Neptune: deceit within friendship given; having to pay a price for help which is higher than expected (sounds like a secret society call-in of favors, doesn't it?); feeling misunderstood; falsehood, fraud, and deception.
Well, there you have my grousings for today. Blogger ate part of this post so I had to reconstruct/recompose it since I tend to type my posts spontaneously. Also, Blogger's spell-check feature is on the blink so you're sure to find typos...please pardon.
And yes, I dissent because I care: about America, her future, and the American people...aka, my fellow Americans.
For if I wish to sleep at night, how can I do any less?

Thesis: Pacts or relations with foreigners on the use of force or weapons; the growth of security or spy agencies (doesn't the world have enough? jc); greater power for religious leaders; a society that wields much influence; extreme depletion of resources.
Antithesis: Self-destructive forces which stem from official corruption or moral laxity within a society; extremely potent natural disasters (those we're experiencing - such as along the banks of the mighty Mississippi River as I type - jc); criminal elements with great social influence (yep! and many of them are on Wall Street, in DC, and in world capitals - jc); destruction of legal documents.

Solar Eclipse January 4, 2011: from May 2011's perch
This week has been busy to the point of very little blogging time (day job, you know) and today, Friday May 6, 2011, is more of same.
Making a flash appearance here to moderate comments, I find some interest has occurred in a previous post still current by topic which concerns America and the Solar Eclipse of January 4, 2011, the Series in which the world now twists and turns.
The post includes some thoughts on the US Saturn Return now ongoing (with its accountability-responsibility themes: in our Sag Rising chart/s, US Saturn is in 10th house = fall from grace if dependable Saturn is *not honored) and three interesting quotes with articles links, so if you wish, check it out with fresh eyes now informed by events which have occurred so far in 2011 including the assassination of Osama bin Laden, a Scorpionic event if there ever was one.
And on a lighter note, tonight is the can't-miss season finale of Fringe and with its Scorpionic-Aquarian parallel-worlds theme, the episode is sure to be a doozy!
~:~
*examples of historical figures with 10th house Saturns include Richard Nixon and Adolf Hitler both of whom experienced quite some falls from grace, yes?

Doubting the bin Laden assassination story?
If all the governmental flip-flopping and murky details concerning the story of the raid and death of Osama bin Laden in Pakistan on May 1, 2011 seem fishy to you and a certain Why Now? feeling persists, you are not alone for Dr. Roberts joins you:
The Agendas Behind the Bin Laden News Event
By Paul Craig Roberts
In Washington-think, a 24% rise in approval rating justifies a staged event. #
Justice? Revenge? False flag op? News event to boost approval ratings and a 2012 election ploy? Siege of Waco and Stand-Off at Ruby Ridge deja-vu? Is our nation's Mars/Neptune square expressing its 'deceptive motivations and actions' side? Or, was it an 'honest' and 'successful' assassination (as if killing is something to crow about)? What do you think?

Timeline of the bin Laden assassination: Pluto Rising
Here's NPR's timeline of the May 1st raid on Osama bin Laden's compound in Abbottabad, Pakistan (his hidey-hole - considerably ritzier than Saddam Hussein's had been.)
Though I've been studying horoscopes of the event I've held back from posting about it and have since found it better to use the chart provided by Bernadette Brady with Moon 24Ari08 and 8Cap39 rising with saboteur and assassin Pluto 7Cap22 Rx, along with the brittle energy of the sometimes dangerous Saturn/Uranus midpoint; Sun is @ 11Tau01 (SolarFire software gives me 11:02.)
To create an event chart that tallies with Ms. Brady's version, I must use:
May 1, 2011 6:14:54 pm GMT Abbottabad, Pakistan.
It is an Hour of the fluctuating Moon, a symbol of the Middle East when in Crescent phase, and 2 days prior to the New Moon 12Tau30 of May 3rd ('13Tau' = "A Man Handling Baggage." Now I don't intend to be ghoulish but a body bag slipped into the Arabian Sea does come to mind.)
Therefore, at the WHAT? Point of the horoscope (ASC) there are two midpoint pictures formed:
Saturn/Uranus = Pluto: acts of violence or brutality (now we have a specific world event that is well-described by this ongoing midpoint picture and T-Square pointing to Pluto the Assassin); concealing changes to activities (by keeping the mission mum from Pakistani officials); harm through force majeure; a desire to overcome a difficult situation through extraordinary effort (US Navy Seals.)
Saturn/Uranus = ASC: being placed in difficult circumstances; the fate of standing alone in the world; suffering hardship caused by others; shared emotional suffering; mourning and bereavement.
The May 1, 2011 assassination falls within the 13 North Solar Eclipse Series which manifested on January 4, 2011 @ 13Cap38/39 and which heralded a potential for a 'central event having wide-range impact' for the US government (Capricorn, sign of government) with 13Cap38 opposing US natal Sun (leadership.)
Since there are many versions of natal horoscopes for Osama bin Laden due to conflicting dates of birth, I've never published a chart for him because Lunar Calendar births are not always easy to rectify into a Solar Calendar such as we use in Western Astrology, even when a correct birth date is known. And I may decide to never publish bin Laden's assassination chart either.
My hope is that President Obama will stand by his decision today not to release photos of the man whose legend can still launch a thousand suicide bombers and I agree heartily with those who say that releasing the photos would only act as a recruiting tool without providing doubters evidence that would sway them if they're determined to remain unswayed (or pretending they doubt or critique for political reasons - the 2012 election cometh. Have you heard it yet? Bush couldn't. Obama not only can, he did.)
One more astro-note: at Barack Obama's natal Midheaven during this event, I noticed an interesting asteroid with an archetype which may indeed apply to our nation's 10-year quixotic search for Osama bin Laden:
Sisyphus, the Determined.

America, Your Ticket Has Arrived: Leave Afghanistan and Iraq Asap!
Though I've been studying horoscopes of the event I've held back from posting about it and have since found it better to use the chart provided by Bernadette Brady with Moon 24Ari08 and 8Cap39 rising with saboteur and assassin Pluto 7Cap22 Rx, along with the brittle energy of the sometimes dangerous Saturn/Uranus midpoint; Sun is @ 11Tau01 (SolarFire software gives me 11:02.)
To create an event chart that tallies with Ms. Brady's version, I must use:
May 1, 2011 6:14:54 pm GMT Abbottabad, Pakistan.
It is an Hour of the fluctuating Moon, a symbol of the Middle East when in Crescent phase, and 2 days prior to the New Moon 12Tau30 of May 3rd ('13Tau' = "A Man Handling Baggage." Now I don't intend to be ghoulish but a body bag slipped into the Arabian Sea does come to mind.)
Therefore, at the WHAT? Point of the horoscope (ASC) there are two midpoint pictures formed:
Saturn/Uranus = Pluto: acts of violence or brutality (now we have a specific world event that is well-described by this ongoing midpoint picture and T-Square pointing to Pluto the Assassin); concealing changes to activities (by keeping the mission mum from Pakistani officials); harm through force majeure; a desire to overcome a difficult situation through extraordinary effort (US Navy Seals.)
Saturn/Uranus = ASC: being placed in difficult circumstances; the fate of standing alone in the world; suffering hardship caused by others; shared emotional suffering; mourning and bereavement.

NPR turns 40 today with a Uranus/Chiron opposition
Looking at the natal horoscope of NPR's first-ever broadcast of All Things Considered, it's interesting to note a few of the astro-factors shown.
Broadcaster Jupiter Rx 3Sag58 ('4Sag' = "A Little Child Learning to Walk"!) is in process of its Great Conjunction with Neptune 2Sag13 Rx in 2nd house with Neptune representing media and its masses of listeners. Let's consider - not all things - but a few of the basics in the natal horoscope set for 5:00 pm edt Washington DC on May 3, 1971. We see from the date that NPR launched in the midst of Richard Nixon's two terms and with anti-war protesters marching and being arrested on DC streets for speaking truth to power (my generation!)
The Jupiter/Neptune combo represents speculation, grand plans, and sometimes, sympathy for people at a disadvantage.
You may wish to see NPR's Wiki bio for more of its historic details.
May 3, 1971 at 5:00 pm in Washington DC saw 7Lib19 rising with Uranus 10Lib15 Rx in tow indicating NPR's newness, progressiveness, technological innovations, individualism, originality, and the ability to cope with whatever occurs.
It's an Hour of Jupiter, perfect for Jupiter's broadcasting function, and Jupiter in his natural sign, fiery Sagittarius, shows international interests in foreign lands and peoples, a liberal mindset, and a capacity to inspire people with a vision of how much better everything might be. (Self-righteousness must be guarded against.)
Chart-ruler Venus at critical degree (12Ari18 and snugged between Chiron and Mercury in 7th house of Partnerships) makes no applying aspects so its sign and house positions are important factors in how things proceeded for the then-new radio network-syndicate. Venus = '13Ari' = "A Bomb Which Failed to Explode Is Now Safely Hidden", a Sabian Symbol which speaks of having a "very deep or hallowed purpose." (M. E. Jones.)
This 'hallowed purpose' tallies with NPR's Midheaven (The Goal; Aspiration) 8Can20 which showcases Fixed Star Alhena, 'to have a mission' and which falls, of course, between US natal Jupiter '6Can' and Sun '14Can'.
Venus also rules the monied 8th H and its inhabitants, Sun and Saturn.
An 11th house Moon 29Leo59 is at a critical 29th degree as well but conjoins Fixed Star Regulus, one of the Royal Stars of Persia, keywords: 'success if revenge if avoided.' All the Royal Stars have cautions showing what flaws will cause the promised success to slip away if the particular caution is not heeded - in this case, revenge.
In 8th house of Shared Resources is natal Sun 12Tau46 which receives this evening's New Moon 12Tau30 (8:49 pm edt) indicating a new cycle of activity of some kind; hardworking Saturn 24Tau11 is in 8th H, too and shows its conservation-preservation duties in Taurus which are expressed with reliability and persistence. For managing Saturn in Taurus, financial security is very important as it tends to develop a well-balanced sense of the value of material resources.
Plus, Saturn is helpfully trined by powerful publisher Pluto 27Vir17 Rx in 12th H of Behind-the-Scenes and I wouldn't care to guess who or what group Pluto represented in 1971 relating to the beginnings of NPR. Would you? But asteroid Lilith Rx conjoins Pluto so I will add that Lilith isn't always or only the glamorous woman for its archetype also has a link to Israel.
And what of action-oriented Mars? Mars 00AQ00, a critical degree, is in 4th H of Endings and Foundations - at "An Old Adobe Mission" so there's another reference to having a mission. This degree appears every January 20th at noon in Washington DC for its our presidential Sun's degree. Mars remained in AQ from May 3 until November 6, 1971 and was stationary part of that time which greatly strengthened its Aquarian instincts and interests which spearheaded a new way of life (NPR driveway moments forthcoming?)
Mars in Aquarius shows a desire for independence to follow an unusual or unorthodox course of action with reformist tendencies; in 4th H, Mars describes some testy interchanges taking place 'at home' with efforts made toward improvements.
We may well ascribe NPR's wish to 'dot all the Is' and 'cross all the Ts' to the fact that Mercury 23Ari10 is oriental, that is, the planet that rises just before the Sun.
There's only one midpoint picture in the chart other than those formed by a multiple-planet T-Square and an Earth Grand Trine: Mars/ASC = Jupiter: harmonious teamwork; the ability to lead others; a good organiser; agreement with others on pursuit of the same objectives (that mission again); enthusiasm; harmonious public outreach.
The T-Square/s all point to MC and Alhena's mission: Chiron/Uranus = MC, Venus/Uranus = MC (getting to like someone quickly; focusing on the modernization of tastes), and Venus/ASC = MC (harmony; art and music appreciation.)
Earth Grand Trine: Mars, Saturn, and Pluto which shows the hard work it took to get up and running, but also seems to relate to the anti-war protests on the streets and the heavy-handed governmental response for brutality is indicated. Mars = protests and activism, Saturn = control and government, and Pluto = power, wealth, subversive actions, and ultimate control. Perhaps these are the forces that now regularly threaten to withdraw government funding of NPR for its 'too liberal' stance.
A 5th H North Node (NN) 19AQ55 shows NPR's path is to serve mankind and its 5th H position makes finding its unique destiny a must.
And last, the Uranus/Chiron opposition on NPR's Identity axis (ASC/DESC) is telling considering Uranus' link to radicalism and politics (yet not forgetting the excellent traits of Uranus Rising mentioned above.)
Uranus opposite Chiron shows 1971 to be a time when people were very stressed out and feeling that things were 'too much' - as in 2011. The aspect's ferociously intense energy tends to burn itself out or push NPR to great transmutative levels of awareness as it dramatizes individualism (and individualistic, freedom-loving Uranus rises.)
I shall leave it to you, dear reader and NPR listener, to decide which result NPR has achieved over the last 40 years. Happy Birthday, NPR!
