Bush to Democrats: do not 'test my will' on Iraq 27 Apr 2007 Dictator George W. Bush warned Democrats Friday not to "test my will" by passing new legislation on a US troop pullout from Iraq after he vetoes a bill passed by Congress this week. [YOU ought to be in Gitmo with your will being tested on a waterboard. --MDR]

Bush Administration Will Not Assess Surge Results Until September --White House Scales Back Talk of Iraq Progress 28 Apr 2007 The Bush administration will not try to assess whether the troop increase in Iraq is producing signs of political progress or greater security until September, and many of Mr. Bush's top advisers now anticipate that any gains by then will be limited, according to senior administration officials. The timelines they are now discussing suggest that the White House may maintain the increased numbers of American troops in Iraq well into next year.

Iraqi Oil Min Warns Companies Against Deals Bypassing Central Govt 26 Apr 2007 Iraq's Oil Minister Hussein al-Shahristani Thursday warned international oil companies from signing oil contracts that bypass the federal government in Baghdad and the Oil Ministry, in a clear reference to deals signed by the Kurdistan Regional Government with a number of foreign firms. "Foreign companies shouldn't sign any contract that isn't through the federal government (in Baghdad) and the oil ministry," al-Shahristani said in a statement handed to reporters. "Any contract that is signed without the knowledge of the federal government is illegal," the minister said. "The ministry warns companies against violating the Iraqi laws and they would be responsible of such behavior," the minister said.#

Full Moon May 2 + the White House

On May 2, there is a Full Moon 11Sco38/11Tau38, and here you see my messy scribbles of the Full Moon around the chart for the White House (Oct 13, 1792; Sun-at-MC.)

To see a few White House chart details (sunrise) see my Feb 15th post here if you wish.

This Full Moon occurs at 6:09:22 am edt in Washington, DC, and is in the 1/7 house polarity which concerns Relationships. Mercury and Venus are in mutual reception and it's a Venus hour...and she's out-of-bounds to boot.

(Venus = relationships; values; money.)

As you know, a Full Moon is the culmination of something begun at the New Moon--and you may remember that Alberto Gonzales was due to testify on Capitol Hill about the politically-handled purge-surge the day of the last New Moon, April 17--but his testimony was postponed because of the tragedy at VA Tech the day before. (What AG actually accomplished concerning the tragedy is anyone's guess.)

Here I shall discuss some of the more pertinent factors in the Full Moon chart which include a very busy Uranus (the reformer; the rebel; the witness) in the middle of four midpoints:

Sun/MC ("the goal") = Uran: shifts of position; a 'restless spirit'; a revolutionary or a rebel; inner conflicts; sudden change of objective.

Mars/NN = Uran: active cooperation; sudden upsets that may affect many people; organizing activity.

Mercury/MC = Uran: formulating new objectives; throwing caution to the wind because of great confidence; nerve; directing thoughts suddenly to new channels; being impelled to sudden action; ambition; mental irritability.

Sun/Mercury = ASC: a critical attitude toward others; contact with young people, scientists, or businessmen.

ASC/MC ("ID awareness; higher self + lower self") = Ura: quickly responsive; adventurous; quick determination; a spoiling of one's plans.


Nebulous, elusive Neptune is at the Mars/MC ("ego-conscious action; change of status") midpoint:

Mars/MC = Nep: diffusion needs focus; creativity is off-the-mark; lack of power to succeed; making the wrong arrangements; failures.

As you know, I've touted the lonely, isolated Saturn-in-Leo quite a bit here on SO'W, and we see Saturn (authority; control) in Leo, sign of The Leader, as the apex planet in a FIXED T-square with the Full Moon--but first here's the midpoint picture:

Sun/Moon = Saturn: difficult concerns in relationship; addressing problems; increasing loneliness; inhibitions or depression; separation from the community or in relationships; renunciation; difficulties in relationship with the other sex.


Saturn as apex planet in a FIXED T-square:

This describes one who is rigidly organized, intensely purposeful, and is willfully unyielding to the nth degree. There's a compulsive drive to tightly control people, situations, and events.

He is one-pointed about preserving the structures he values and insists on completely overpowering and manipulating all matters under his authority--there's no sharing of the cat-bird seat with him. When challenged to surrender his indomitable will to carry out his orders, he experiences great internal conflict and is ruthless in how he calculates securing his power...the dictator.

Guess that covers the decider mentality of George Bush as well, doesn't it?

In fact this describes Bush's current "I'll VETO it" stance.

With Venus out-of-bounds and acting on her own (Monica Goodling? Condi Rice?) we see that Taurean (stubborn; intolerant; avaricious) Venus is the chart-ruler, and is in duplicitous Gemini--and is very near Bush's natal Uranus/NN conjunction. Uranus/NN relates to political groups advocating reforms. As a double sign, a Geminian Venus could relate to TWO women, and both ladies have subpoena issues with which to deal...and they both have the "goods" on Bush if they'll just spill the beans.

Uranus/NN = Venus: camaraderie is important. (But who knows where the bodies are buried is what I want to know.)


As you may already be aware, the tr Saturn/Pluto midpoint ("cruelty; violence; hard hard work; potential self-destruction") is now affecting Bush's natal IC (foundation of the chart; endings; the drain) which then affects natal MC (Aspirations; Career and Public Status) so we see that:

Saturn/Pluto = MC: desire to rise from difficult circumstances through the application of tenacity and endurance; severity; one-sidedness; major separaton as a last resort (Al G? Monica G? Condi R? Laura B?); an adept.

Opposite this picture is another: tr Venus/Neptune = Bush's natal MC:

losing oneself in illusions.

With Bush's power being based on the illusion of being elected with a "mandate from the people" (ahhh--good times, I remember it well!), his illusions of power and control are waffling in the wind he so adventurously threw caution into...and anything at MC is out there for all to see.

Now how does this Full Moon of May 2 relate to the natal chart of the White House itself?

Click to enlarge the double chart, if you will...

the Full Moon's MC (6:09:22 am edt, White House, May 2) is: 23Cap24, with the tr Pluto/Chiron midpoint now at 22Cap06...and you know that Pluto/Chiron = oppression; class warfare; racism; and in a word, plutocracy. MC = Aspirations...the WHY of any chart.

In the 1792 White House natal chart, Pluto/Chiron was positioned at 10Tau35--the Full Moon's Mercury = 10Tau46! Mercury = can we talk?

And we can winnow out a midpoint pic from the W-House n Saturn 29Ari20 with the Full Moon's Mercury and ASC...

Mercury/Saturn = ASC: backing off from responsibilities; being aloof; preoccupied with one's own thoughts and plans; isolation.

Does this sound like any White House you know?

White House's natal Mars 11Sag27 is conjunct the Pluto/Chiron conj of Dec 30, 1999 which is when I believe many of Karl Rove's and the Bush family's machinations were put in play to swipe the presidency by hook or crook (Rove has the hook and Bush is the crook? Or vice versa.)

And since parallels by declination make excellent timing devices--and may act as strong conjunctions--I have mentioned before that Pluto and Chiron were parallel one another in mid-August 2004. The conj of the the pair was at 11Sag23...conj the White House's natal Mars, as stated.

There was a New Moon on Aug 15, 2004 at 23Leo31...Leo, sign of Leadership and of Acting. The MC in this New Moon chart (set for the W-House) was 28Sag49, with asteroids Morya, Pandora, and Icarus upon it....and Vesta was rising with Hermes, the trickster (Rove) in tow. This New Moon occurred in Bush's natal 1st house of Self.

So Dec 30, 1999 and August 15, 2004 hook up with both presidential elections bwo of the abusive power of the Pluto/Chiron duo. Of course, there are those who say that America has always been a plutocracy, and I hardily agree.

But the founders didn't tend to use this power against the people the way our current crop of criminals are so fond of doing.

And it wouldn't surprise me if the great Pluto/Chiron planning sessions were held AT the White House (with Bill Clinton in attendance) in Dec of 1999 or early 2000, esp with the Great Jupiter/Saturn conj of May 28, 2000 about to occur...Rs + Ds giving each other major reach-arounds.

(You may have noticed I don't trust Rs OR Ds as far as I can throw them--and I'd like to throw them.) Jupiter = Republic-an Party, Saturn = Democrat-ic Party.


And a 'funny' thing about the Full Moon of May 2, 2007...tr Pluto 28Sag43 is conjunct Mercury in the Dec 30, 1999 chart when Pluto conjuncted Chiron...Mercury also 28Sag43!! Partile (exact)!

Pluto to Mercury = thoughts, plans, ideas become empowered and deepened...previous concepts and methods are altered and transformed...karmic links with young people (or scientists or businessmen)...demand for new perspectives...persuasion ability...propaganda.

The Sabian Symbol for "12Sag"--which is conj US natal ASC in the Sibly chart is:

"A flag that turns into an eagle that crows"...ADJUSTMENT:

pos: successful self-establishment through genuine self-expression;

neg/unconscious/shadow side: idle prejudices and unsubstantiated claims.

Like the unsubstantiated claims for invading Iraq?


Well there's much more I could say, but if you're like me, you're fed up with this stinky crew (we ALL need a break)...so you may wish to see my last post on the Group I joined this morning called Bushwacker Truth Brigade at Gather.com where you may find some articles of interest.

new group for your Bushwacking needs

Today I did a good thing--I joined Peter Wimsey's Group Bushwacker Truth Brigade which has articles on Bush infringements and lawbreaking tendencies. Actually, if you only read the Group's mission statement, you've done a lot. And remember: you don't have to join Gather to view and read, just to comment.

Check out Peter's Bushwacker Group, if you're fed up with this regime!

Tenet's tell-something book released

When George Slam-Dunk Tenet "resigned" a while back, I said, oh good, maybe he'll write a readable book. And so the worm turns.

But it remains to be seen whether his scribbles will amount to an outing of the crims and merely justifying his own duplicities--or coming clean with the goods and embracing the realities which challenge this administration so dearly for our nation's sake.

You may wish to get former agent Mr.A.Cat's take on the situation at Lim's Limericks for now--and I'll be back in a while with a SO'W post on the upcoming Full Moon of May 2...and how it affects the White House's natal chart...

Planet Earth as Weapon and Target

mindfully.org has the article, Planet Earth as Weapon and Target by Leuren Moret.

Little hedge funds all in a row

You may want to read the latest entry from Mr.A.Cat at Lim's Limericks concerning the 'excess liquidity' in which the world now floats...or you may wish to read U.S. economy poised for nose dive...but I'd recommend the limerick, if I were you (glub glub.)

it's only 'Bush fatigue'

Got the sniffles? Feelin' achy? No worries!

Bush 41 told CNN's Larry King Monday night that "the electorate may be experiencing Bush fatigue."

More like a raging case of Epstein-Barr. Besides, an "electorate" implies that Bush 43 was actually elected and that our votes count! Well-played, H.W., well-played.

Bush 41 is not-so-subtley cluing us in that Jeb will be sitting out the 2008 election, and with the usual Bush aplomb predicts that Jeb may enter politics again in the future...a threat if there ever was one.

"I hope Jeb, who left office looking good, is not through with politics," he said, giving his other son a reach-around for the White House.

Apparently meetings have been held and their best bet is being waged...a different globalist name in between the Bush players has been decided upon and little Jeb must be patient.

Guess that means Bush 41 thinks Dubya has done such a superb job that Jeb deserves to be shoved into the White House as well. Puh.


The link below to CNN's article has become a Never Mind link--it seems to be MIA now...perhaps you can stomach the video instead at ThinkProgress.org or perhaps not.

Here's the missing link...good luck:
