HoSec's 'BioWatch' still doesn't

On Nov 1, 2005, George Bush painted a glowing picture of his aspiration to set up and administer programs which would detect bio threats to Americans, but as with so many of Bush's pies-in-the-sky, this one is still undercooked.

Biological Detection Program Delayed says WaPo, and if you need a job, Bush'n'friends are quite desperate to interview you to disappear within the bowels of HoSec. But you must be science-challenged like the rest of the Bushies.

The Atlanta Journal and Constitution puts it this way: Biological surveillance falls short, report says.

However you put it, "no one is really sure what it is supposed to do."

Perhaps it's similar to the usual Bush program--it's for doing the opposite of whatever it says it does.

Department of Homeland Security shows ineptness yet again:

HoSec's natal chart has Mercury where the recent Jupiter Direct Station occurred (Jupiter hasn't left "10Sag" yet..."The golden-haired goddess of opportunity" degree.) Jupiter expands and increases whatever he touches and Mercury represents ideas, thinking, communications, paperwork, and such.

And today's Pluto is opposing Nov 1, 2005's Saturn which echoes the cruel Saturn/Pluto opposition of 9/11/01--and deep-leveled Pluto can outweigh heavy Saturn bwo constructional, long-time-coming power issues. Seems the contruction of the BioWatch program wasn't much to begin with, assuming it existed at all.

The Swindlers of Washington are such duds, aren't they?

Perseids and the New Moon of Aug 12

Space Weather News for August 9, 2007

The Perseid meteor shower has begun. Although the display will not peak until August 12th and 13th, sky watchers are already counting as many as a dozen meteors per hour (including some nice fireballs) during the darkest hours before dawn. Rates could increase 5- to 10-fold when the shower reaches maximum on Sunday night and Monday morning. Advice: Get away from city lights. While many Perseids will be bright enough to see from light-polluted urban areas, the shower's full grandeur is reserved for places with dark and starry skies. This is a good weekend to go camping.

Visit SpaceWeather.com for photos, observing tips and a sky map. Full coverage of the shower begins today and will continue until Perseid activity subsides.#


The New Moon of August 12 is at 19Leo51 and occurs in the 7th house of Partnerships over Washington at 7:02:29 pm edt. Venus and Saturn will be near conjunction, with Venus still Rx 27Leo58, and Saturn 27Leo23, both also in 7th house.

Rising is 00AQ14, the degree of the Sun when we install a new NWO-type in the Oval Office on Jan 20 at noon, DC. Most descriptive of US presidents in the last few decades is the "30Cap" degree...

"A secret business conference"...OPPORTUNITY...

pos: a gift for clever planning and successful administration in every area of life;

neg/shadow side: rampant selfishness and rank exploitation of others.

So is Fort Knox empty?

Years ago in Slate's The Fray, I asked that question ad nauseum and was laughed at and ridiculed with hearty alacrity. "America is too rich to go bankrupt, you daft peacely2," the jingos typed back at me.

August 9, 2007...let's ask Paul Craig Roberts how that's goin':


Uncle Sam, Your Banker Will See You Now

Paul Craig Roberts

Early this morning China let the idiots in Washington, and on Wall Street, know that it has them by the short hairs. Two senior spokesmen for the Chinese government observed that China's considerable holdings of US dollars and Treasury bonds "contributes a great deal to maintaining the position of the dollar as a reserve currency."

Uncle Sam, Your Banker Will See You Now puts me in mind of Bush's 'speech' this morning just before Shrub cut and run to Kennebunkport to see Mama.

His nibs had his Mercury (speech; communications; announcements; thought processes) Return to its natal degree 9Leo51+ today but I like to use the rounding-down method for the Sabian Symbol for this one:

"9Leo": "Glass blowers shape with their breath glowing forms"...DEFTNESS...

pos: an effectiveness of personal participation in everyday existence;

neg/shadow side: willful or unintelligent distortion of reality. (Ya think? Me too. I recorded his "speech" because I had to motor and will review it later if I can manage.)

This is also the degree for Gonzo's natal Mercury and that of the Republican Party. Quite a pile-up, si?

Okay, but the interesting thing to me is that as Bernanke and the Fed were flooding the market with more liquidity (a word Bush mentioned this morning), the Moon 5Can08 was at the "Gamebirds feathering their nests" degree conjunct America's natal Jupiter (R-Party; gurus; rich men) and Mars 1Gem32 was at the descriptive "Santa Claus filling stockings furtively."

Somehow I'm sure ole Santa did. Stockings hung with care--in Germany, perhaps?

Meanwhile China yanked our drunken sailors' chains and France showed some feisty lack of confidence thanks to our terminally ill subprime lending market. No one wants it to get out how many bad loans they've made or are still holding.

Yep! the camel's nose has been under the tent for decades now and the bankrupting of America is going well for the neocon-lovin', war-mongerin', pocket-linin', papal-ring-kissin' crooks and swindlers who infest the nation's seats of power and corruption. And the tent is made-in-China, Japan, and any place but here.

Gold has been discovered in Haiti, rumor says. Will wonders never?

Guess the Sheeple will be so relieved to unionize with Canada and Mexico when it turns out we have no other choice, thanks to someone's bad management and fuzzy math--which I assert once again has been done according to plan in order to undermine national sovereignity all over the globe, not just in the USA.

Duhhh....a global economy will mean global collapse--who could disagree? So many things are collapsing these days, aren't they? Bush said today that the global economy is "strong"--one of the Martian's favorite words.


Plus, near the end of today's "press conference" Bush's natal Jupiter, old moneybags himself, was rising and bringing along the US Sec Progr'd (SP) Mars so take your pick--round it up or round it down...

"18Lib": "Two men placed under arrest"...CONSEQUENCE...

pos: a heightened challenge to every special talent (Shrub's talent is "catapultin' the propaganda"...his job, he says; la bouche, the mouthpiece);

neg/shadow side: total inappropriateness of impulse and act.

He's good at that. So was his performance this morning a futile attempt to put out financial fires--or to stoke them? He says Dems are overspending? Have all the mirrors been removed from the White House??? Get that narcissist a clear pond to gaze into!

Then, if you prefer, there's "19Lib"..."A gang of robbers in hiding"...DIVERGENCE...

pos: alertness to every threat against a true individuality;

neg/shadow side: abnormal mistrust of everything worthwhile.


Sitting upon Bush's natal Jupiter and the US SP Mars lately has been the transiting Jupiter/Saturn midpoint (thanks to the societal pair's tendency to Rx), so we've been seeing:

Jupiter/Saturn = sec Mars: discontent; a lack of endurance or tenaciousness; feeling unrewarded and making a change; an inconstant will; separation; not wanting to toe the line.

(A national Mars = the military; police force; men between appr 25-35, etc. Jingos can serve in Iraq, too.)

This means that Jup/Saturn was rising so there's:

Jup/Saturn = ASC: the tactician; separation; a change of occupation (!) or of residence (I'll rent the U-Haul if someone will pack his suitcase.)

So what was rising and conjuncting US SP Mars? Propagandistic
Mercury/Pluto midpoint...

Mercury/Pluto = US SP Mars: the ability to master great tasks; sharp criticism; the desire to attack others; a blackmailer (and how Washington function without blackmailers?)

Mercury/Pluto = ASC: ability to exercise influence upon those in the environment; intellectual domination.

Therefore, Mercury/Pluto = Bush's n Jupiter: the art of persuasion; recognition by the masses; persuasion brings success; publicity; a crook or a swindler.

Well that's about all the arranging and designing of Shrubbery I can stand for this evening. It'll soon be 8:30 pm and even a 30Rock rerun has to be better than this merde.

Besides--I heart Alec Baldwin's acting and wish he wouldn't leave the show!

That Feeling of Fate

Surfing so that you don't have to, I've come upon another well-written article by astrologer Lynn Hayes who opens up the astrology of the natal chart when interpreted with the progressed chart for you--their uses and differences, with her Musings on Fate and the Progressed Chart.

As Lynn explains so well, we're fated to express our natal charts.

Yet much may be gleaned from knowing our progressed charts--how we've evolved and what our natal tendencies have led to. Yes, the information found in a progressed chart is invaluable to the seeker.

Bravo, Lynn!

Solar Eclipses of 1989 repeating for 2007

Having just finished updating Jude's Threshold, I thought you might be interested in its Eclipse details since the same 9 New North and 9 New South Series ('es'?) manifested in 1989 as we're having this year with the next Solar Eclipse due on Sept 11.

The post touches on the health of George Bush--inspired by today's news that he was treated for Lyme Disease last year so check out Eclipses of 1989 and 2007 if you wish.

Endeavor, Challenger, and Pluto/Chiron

After last evening's loss--my little rural neighborhood vs big dog developers--with Pluto/Chiron midpoint rising as the county Board of Commissioners meeting began, and moneybags Jupiter at MC as the charade-of-a-vote was taken (Jupiter at the "Golden-haired goddess of opportunity" degree, no less, and conjunct Antares: obsessed with success), I'm a little verklempt this morning for my quiet home is about to be horned in upon by 196 half-million dollar houses!

So much for peace and quiet with lichen and bracken growing on tree limbs signifying as it does for now, pure air.

Anyone who has fought massive development with its environmental threats and its squirrelly math making glowy promises will know the feeling of powerlessness this engenders. And of course you would know that water is a major issue here as it is all over the globe. Seems there's either too much of the stuff or not enough.

Even the excess liquidity that's been pumped into the economy is problematic. But I digress and for good reason--after looking at the charts, I don't really want to post on the Endeavor launch this evening, reported launch time: 6:36 pm edt, Cape Canaveral,FL.

And I didn't want to revisit the Challenger disaster (Jan 28, 1986, launch time: 11:38 am est; break-up: T+73.162 sec) but the media and NASA won't hush up about it because of Endeavor's obvious connections to the Challenger crew.

Here's Challenger's WIKI link if you'd care for it.

But doesn't the Endeavor launch chart for 6:36 pm est look "throttle up"?

ASC 21Cap16, Pluto/Chiron just risen; MC 7Sc049 conj Challenger 1986 Pluto 7Sco19.

The 1986 Pluto was conj SN 3Sco52, a typical indicator of violence; *Moon 11Vir02 conj Fixed Star Zosma, the victim, Mercury 6AQ08 (Medina degree) conj asteroid, Minerva (desire to be accomplished.)

There are more violent indicators but I'm fading fast so I'll mention a few more things that concern me about tonight's chart.

Aug 8, 2007:

At MC (along with 1986's Pluto) is asteroid, Nemesis: the unbeatable opponent; one who inflicts retribution or vengeance.

Venus Rx and Saturn are snugged about the 8th house cusp, with Venus conj Regulus, one of the Royal Stars of Persia, one of The Watchers, keywords: success if revenge is avoided.

SN of the out-of-bounds Moon is conj Fixed Star, Facies: ruthlessness or the victim.

There are other ways to read these chart factors so perhaps being verklempt isn't the best time for me to peek at it...and as I've mentioned before, sometimes you just want to be wrong. Or perhaps bad weather conditions will postpone the launch...that'd be good because:

with 1986's Uranus 20Sag58 and Neptune 4Cap35 having at their midpoint Endeavor's Pluto this evening we see:

Uran/Neptune = Pluto: remaining at the mercy of external conditions without trying to make a firm stand; the necessity to give in; losses; calamities; the big picture commands a certain course of action which must be followed--very little option to do otherwise.

Well, I hope this midpoint picture doesn't tell the tale and show Pluto/Chiron's plutocratic, oppressive ways taking over the destiny of this nation one more time in order to serve their globalist agenda (Uranus/Neptune = NWO.)

I wish the Endeavor crew well and hope their mission is completed safely, and though there's more to say about the launch chart, perhaps I'll go lie down for awhile...



*Moon's position is reflecting the natal Ascendant of then-VP G.H.W. Bush. And Reagan was to give the SOTU address that very evening--and would have--but aides convinced him it would be unseemly, so he went on TV anyway and quoted poetry to us.
Come to think of it, watching him, I was feeling verklempt that night, too.


Note to John: revised/corrected natal chart for Republican Party now on file...thanks a bunch! (I appreciate all corrections, Y'all.)

35W Collapse a Bafflement

Did you see this from LegitGov.org?


Bridge collapse notes: Engineers are baffled! An inspection OK'd the I-35W Bridge until 2020... 'From what I heard, engineers were working on the surface of that bridge - nothing to do with the infrastructure.' Homeland Security, rescue teams were at the scene within *minutes.* Quoting an MSNBC eyewitness: "It certainly looks like a bomb has gone off." Incidentally, there is a major thoroughfare in and out of Minneapolis and St. Paul -- cities now prone to a Bush bin Laden attack. These tragedies typically arrive on the heels of a big day of Bush regime embarrassments. Wednesday's Bush woes: 50 people killed in a fuel tanker explosion in western Baghdad (142 lives lost nationwide) followed by the largest Sunni Arab bloc quitting the government; six more US soldiers killed in Iraq; the CBO analysis that the Iraq war could cost over $1 trillion; hearings on the Tillman execution and cover-up; Rumsfeld rearing his ugly, lying head; Gonzales forced to explain the rearing of his, ugly lying head; a bill calling for a Gonzales impeachment inquiry; Bush seeking authorization to conduct warrantless spying authority from Congress; doctors condemning the forced-feedings at Guantanamo Bay in the Journal of the American Medical Association; controversy over Bush's $63B arms deal. And, all media coverage of these 'embarrassments' - each an impeachable offense unto itself - is now 'water under the bridge!' --Lori Price 02 Aug 2007#


See 35W Bridge Collapse and a YOD in the Sky. Given Utah's mine collapse and the mention of a seismic event triggering the collapse--"or was the collapse itself the seismic event?"--the blurring-of-the-lines-of-truth tactic continues. Frankly I had wondered about such a seismic event in Minneapolis when I saw that Pluto (related to deep, dark places underground including volcanoes) was rising at the moment of the bridge's collapse. But if bombs were placed, they must've been way underneath--if not on the train (not deep enough for Pluto, I grant you) then underwater at the bridge's base.

One thing about it--infrastructures are being affected either intentionally or as part of natural decaying processes--by the Great Uranus/Neptune Conjunction/s of 1992-93. Their NWO plans are proceeding with Uranus and Neptune in mutual reception--in cahoots.

Isn't it tremendously sad the 'movers and shakers' of the world won't put such massive energy, resources, and clout into plans that would actually benefit all of humanity?

John Townley and the Planetary Order

John Townley has prepared a list of each planet's influence when it rises just before the Sun on your day (or night) of birth, and you'll find the list at Astrococktail.com.

The only info I had on this subject before I found John's article on Planetary Order was from the great Noel Tyl. Thanks for the additional info, John...you're great, too, y'know!

Now I wonder which planet rises before your natal Sun? Jupiter perhaps? Okay, so I know a little something about that!
