When Jon Stewart gets going on politicians' ridiculous inconsistencies, he's my main man!
Republican talking points now in soul-searing conflict:
Pres. Obama is a weakling!
vs
Pres. Obama is a tyrant!
Can they have it both ways? Should we-the-people allow them to? Are they trying to make us crazy?
(Yes. Thanks, Jon - for the sanity.)

Astrology of Pres. Obama's return to Washington April 2009
Yes, we're hearing a lot of pros and cons about Pres. Obama's 9-day European-Asian-Iraq tour which completed in the early hours of Wednesday, April 8 (today, 2009) and while a large and disappointed audience may await the president, moneybags Jupiter's Sabian Symbol in today's sunrise chart (set for Washington DC, edt) is telling as well..."A Woman Disappointed and Disillusioned."
In America, Jupiter signifies the Republican Party and its adherents, yet if any female politician on Capitol Hill is feeling 'disappointed' now because of the results (or lack of) from Mr. Obama's trip, my question has to be: why didn't she feel that way about our coup'd government (heisting us blind) years before today?
At '28 Aries' is communicator of (hopefully) good news, Mercury, rising after the Sun (18Ari44 - sunrise 6:46:07 am edt) with chart-ruler Venus at Aries Point of Prominence and Fame...00Ari59 Rx.
Venus: "1Ari"..."A Woman Has Arisen from the Ocean, a Seal Is Embracing Her." Could this specifically refer to Michelle Obama's and Queen Elizabeth's displays of affection? Suits me.
Yet like many astrologers, I always tend to envision America in relation to this word picture, with the Statue of Liberty being our Venusian 'goddess' of copper, the metal of Venus. Also, Venus is US natal chart-ruler (of the Sibly chart - 5:10 pm lmt, July 4, 1776.)
With the chart's ruler retrograde, delays are afoot, and with (sunrise) IC at 10Can24, America's natal Venus, Jupiter, and Sun in Cancer are at the Foundation of the chart (or in the basement!) Powerful 'secret hand' Pluto in 9th house is most-elevated planet.
Anyway, our president 'came home'...Cancer at its natural spot (IC) with US natal Sun in Cancer = 'the leader.'
And US natal Mercury '25Can' Rx is in 4th house as well...'25Can'..."A Man Wrapped in an Invisible Mantle of Power"...which always sounds to me like the supposedly mysterious man who rode into Thomas Jefferson's garden late one night and delivered the design for the Great Seal of the United States as Jefferson and Franklin 'struggled' to come up with a good one.
This seal-delivering incident is said to be connected with Adam Weishaupt (the dark, caped horseman? or a messenger from him?) and his then-new Illuminati Society (Bavarian) which he organized in May, 1776.
The signs of Uranus, Neptune, and Pluto are thus shared with America's Ura-Nep-Plu signs...Gemini, Virgo, and Capricorn.
Yet these days, after studying charts, reading about politics and other mysteries, and blogging here on Stars Over Washington since Oct 16, 2005, I tend to think of the Great Seal of the United States and the mysterious riddle of its obverse (hidden) side as representing a watershed moment of transition toward the 'Novus Ordo Seclorum' - printed right there under our noses and tied in closely with America's much-vaunted 'Manifest Destiny' we hear so much about but with little honesty to encumber, or hinder, the legend.
For a quick view of the Great Seal, check the back of a US dollar bill, if you have one handy...the 13-step pyramid of power with its all-seeing eye of Horus awaits you.
One of the major factors in today's sunrise/solar chart (with the rising Sun signifying 'the leader' in a national chart - or to a chart relating to the president as we do here) is the Cardinal T-square of energies between Moon 4Lib11 opposite Venus 00Ari59 Rx squaring apex (focal planet) Pluto 3Cap18 Rx in 9th house of Foreign Travel and Distant Lands...
*Apex Pluto in a Cardinal (outgoing~initiating~outwardly directed energy) T-square (two planets opposing one another which both square a third point or planet) is an intense and powerful person or group with a willful desire to fulfill ambitions through manipulation, force, and subversive actions resulting in abuse of power.
This apex Pluto is the high-powered executive - or cartel - who demands penetrating insight into all crucial phases of operation (and I would guess that Pres. Obama journeyed abroad to the Old World to provide just that, among other things. Such a charade we're fed!)
Open contempt or resentment may be exhibited toward anyone who attempts to share control or power, and active confrontation may result. The Cardinal quality of the T-square makes this intense plutonian energy difficult to hide so that people in the environment quite easily 'pick up' on it as it shows its 'hand' more than it usually does.
There's a flavor of 'explosive endings make way for new starts' to this plutonian T-square, and the media honchos and reporters (reporters = Mercury '28 Aries' of 'disappointed audiences') may be the ones who squawk the loudest to fulfill their masters' desires for control, manipulation of public opinion, and power.
Midpoint picture formed by the T-square...
Moon-Venus = Pluto complications and a waste of emotions.
Welcome home, Mr. President. Sorry it has to be under these conditions.

Pat Buchanan on the Fed's culpability
Pat Buchanan gives a little history lesson (including to Nobel Prize winning economist Paul Krugman) on past financial crashes, FDR, Hoover, what worked and what didn't, and he suggests the necessity of killing the Monster from Jekyll Island, as the Fed is non-affectionately called.
Ah, the happy days of childhood spent on Jekyll Island! Little did I know then of the machinations of November 1910 when a secret railway car from New York made its way south under cover of night to keep the press and public unaware of the financial plans in the offing.
1/4 of the world's wealth at the time was represented by the financiers attending, and I'm looking at a horoscope for the New Moon of Dec 1, 1910...I'm calling it 'The Fed's New Moon' and using it to represent the entity's beginning...'end of Nov, 1910' just doesn't do it for this reluctant astrologer.
On Jekyll, Dec 1, 1910's New Moon perfected at 4:10:30 pm est at 8Sag49 (7th house); NN 19Tau15 is rising (ASC 19Tau32), and moneybags Jupiter is at 4Sco09 (6th house.) Servants were under strict instructions to keep things mum - and they did for years.
Saturn in 12th house is at 'Hitler's trigger' degree...00Tau34 Rx (the psychopath's natal Sun) although 1910 was years before Adolph's heyday. Chart-ruler Venus 10Sag07 is conjunct Antares ('ruthless and driven - avoid obsession for best results' - paraphrased from Brady's Book of Fixed Stars.)
And manipulative Pluto, the Monster? In 2nd house of Money and Values...at '28Gemini'...Sabian Symbol: "Through Bankruptcy, Society Gives To An Overburdened Individual The Opportunity To Begin Again" - LIBERATION FROM THE PAST (Rudhyar.)
So even if you see no links to then (the Fed'S meddling) and now (the Fed's meddling with bailouts and bankruptcies for Wall Street CEOs, big banks, insurance companies, mortgage lenders, etc), you do admit that 'bankruptcy' - then as now - is one of the tools for financial relief which may be a blessing or may be abused by corporations masquerading under US law as 'individuals.'
1910 and 2009: 99 years of secrets:
Senator Nelson W. Aldrich and Assistant Secretary of the Treasury A. P. Andrews got together on the sly at the Jekyll Island Club to discuss US monetary policy and the banking system, a meeting which many people say paved the way for the passage of the Federal Reserve Act of Dec 23, 1923...natal Sun 1Cap06 (at sunrise) with transiting Pluto in early Cap now giving the entity a desire for more power...we've heard Treasury Secretary Tim Geithner and others say as much into congressional microphones.
But the Fed's natal Pluto 00Can06 Rx is now being opposed by tr Pluto - hence we see the gargantuan struggle between the world's manipulators for control of the ultimate power position.
Oh ritz rats! Let's linger longer on Jekyll Island, shall we?
It won't hurt and it might help as you view a lovely slideshow of Jekyll's Maritime Forest (with birdsong!) and other island spectacles from visitors' photo albums on my favorite of Jekyll's websites, Save Jekyll Island. You'll find that mentions of island politics are included but easily avoided, if you wish.
Yes, 65% of Jekyll is kept natural (counting picnic areas and parks) so if you get a chance to mosey south to one of Georgia's lovely barrier islands, keep Jekyll Island in mind - and no monsters are currently in residence that I know of!

Strange Space Hand reaches for Dying Star
Here I sit wondering if you've seen this
NASA photo of a strange 'space hand' reaching - or supporting - a dying star.
Pretty weird stuff! Of course, with the Chandra Nebula involved we think of Chandra Levy's sad end - and Pluto always plays the saboteur, spy, murderer, or assassin extremely well.
Now astrologically speaking on another level, if the 'strange hand' could be said to signify Pluto, what does the dying star represent? Let's see, what do we know is on the way out? What isn't?
So might this be a synchronistic image of Pluto's global underworld crime syndicate about to strangle - or goose - America and other nations now flailing in the throes?
Or is this a snapshot of the very core of life, represented by Pluto's deeply transformative powers of death and rebirth, caught on film in the act of reaching out to the struggling Earth herself?
What do you think the photo resembles?
Me, I'll settle for option number 2. Or a trick of the light.

Mustafa Kemal Ataturk May 19, 1881
Update Monday, Apr 6: a video of Pres. Obama honoring Mustafa Kemal Ataturk, April, 2009.
Original post begins here:
Mustafa Kemal Ataturk, born May 19, 1881 in Salonika (now Greece), the present-day Thessaloniki, is famous as the Founder of Modern Turkey, and US Pres. Obama is visiting Ataturk's memorial site while visiting Ankara on his weeklong European tour soon ending. Mr. Obama flies to Istanbul Monday evening.
Fond of the Age of Enlightenment (code for an Illuminati adherent? A Rosicrucian perhaps?), Mustafa Kemal, often called Ataturk, is the fellow who transformed Turkey into a modern, secular, and democratic nation-state.
(A nation-state is an idea whose time has seemingly passed, 'they' say. Politicians may talk floweringly of sovereignty but spend most of their time undermining it in one way or another.)
Ataturk became Turkey's first president and served from Oct 29, 1923 to Nov 10, 1938, and for the entire 24-hour period of May 19, 1881, Luna was in Aquarius which gives him Sun Taurus-Moon AQ, an Earth-Air blend of the innovative pragmatist who is gregarious, objective, independent, confident, and sensible.
High ideals can be backed up by this combination through broad vision, hard work, and perseverance while humanitarian values are brought down to earth and productively put to use.
Communications tend to be forthright, clear-headed, and honest which cause people to trust Sun Tau-Moon AQ types; there's a talent for inspiring others.
This is an amiable and pleasant personality who feels itself to be above conflict - 'civilized' resolutions will be found.
Weaknesses include a tendency to become inert with stubbornness when things don't go as expected, and there may be an overconfidence that comes across as conceit.
Image for Integration: A country squire holds the summer fete in his garden; all monies raised are divided equally between the three charities in the village - the Friendly Farmers' Trust, the Local Artists' Guild, and the Quakers' Orphanage.' (Sun Sign-Moon Sign, Chas & Suzi Harvey.)
The Sun Tau-Moon AQ blend is shared natally by Charlotte Bronte, Michelle Pfeiffer, Burt Bacharach, Nicolo Machiavelli, and America's Democratic Party (May 13, 1792.)
And by two other notables who shall be quoted:
"When you're down and out, something always turns up -- and it's usually the noses of your friends." - Orson Welles
(Wonder if that's how Pres. Obama felt abroad the last several days as he asked Europe for troops for Afghanistan deployment - and maybe for some of their EU brand of loose change...?)
Plus, the following words may have merit in these days of control and our dread of its misuse and abuse:
"May the Force be with you." - George Lucas, Star Wars
Be with whom?

Are you hankering for a silly limerick written in early November 2007 upon the occasion of then-Secretary-of-State Condi Rice's visit to Turkey? Then hanker no longer for the Kittens from Turkey are here.

US invasions 1898 - 1934 and the Free World
"Between 1898 and 1934, the Marines invaded Cuba 4 times, Nicaragua 5 times,Honduras 7 times, the Dominican Republic 4 times, Haiti twice, Guatemalaonce, Panama twice, Mexico 3 times and Columbia 4 times," Washington has intervened militarily in foreign countries more than 200 times."
"If the people are not convinced (that the Free World is in mortal danger) it would be impossible for Congress to vote the vast sums now being spent to avert danger. With the support of public opinion, as marshalled by the press, we are off to a good start. It is our Job - yours and mine -- to
keep our people convinced that the only way to keep disaster away from our shores is to build up America's might."
- Charles Wilson, Chairman of the Board of General Electric and Truman appointee to head the Office of Defence Mobilization, in a speech to the Newspaper Publishers Association, 1950 #

Or you may wish to try our nascent overthrow's birth chart here which has an image of the chart with some details - including info on the current Neptune-Pluto septile (51 degr 26 mins), as aspect said to be karmic in nature.
1890 Hawaii's innocence! How blatantly imperialist could the US government have been? Admittedly, we were young in the occupation business, but we're older than that now. You'd think we should know better, but apparently we don't.
And fearless "leaders" don't care - they're busy stirring things up!
Ah yes, the 1890s: the Gilded Age, the Generation of Materialism = the Robber Barons' collusions marked by the Great Conjunctions of Neptune-Pluto 7 - 9 Gemini, where asteroid Midas, of gold-hoarding fame, now transits.
Well, I agree that sugar can be dangerous, but really now.
The Roman Empire bludgeoned. Must we continue the model, Pres. Obama?

Full Moon April 9, 2009: Sun Ari-Moon Libra
For the culmination stage of March 26's New Moon 6Ari08, we have a Libra Full Moon on April 9, 2009 which I have detailed for you with the chart set for Washington, DC...my usual astrological and political shenanigans.
This Full Moon gives us a Fire-Air Sun Ari-Moon Libra blend to consider as relationships of all kinds are highlighted now.
Full Moons are oppositions (which always tell of relationships or partnerships) and Aries-Libra is the natural sign polarity of relationships. Rulers Mars and Venus are passionate about getting together - or arguing about why they can't!
Sun Ari-Moon Libra indicates issues of who has the power - me or others? This is a vivacious, charming, outwardly confident pairing, but it vacillates between independence and dependence.
An inner 'heroic picture' may be nursed, yet others may not 'see' the heroism. Head and heart clash over and over again, and the resulting frustrations can destroy self-confidence.
Idealism and hopefulness abound with Sun Ari-Moon Libra in its 'live-wire' Fire-Air combo which is shared natally by William Hazlit, who brilliantly observed:
Image for Integration: 'A conductor leads an orchestra with passionate conviction and a vibrant, pulsating organism of musical perfection is created to the ecstatic uplifting of the audience.' (Sun Sign-Moon Sign, Chas & Suzi Harvey.)
Now - if you click and read the above-linked post concerning April 9's Full Moon, note that Venus Rx 00Ari34 (conj World Point 00Ari00) is now hanging out with asteroid Terpsichore, the orchestrator in April 2009's Full Moon drama in Washington.
Yet on another level, art-loving Venus and music-scorer Terpsichore are possibly about to unleash new, enticing music upon the planet!
And we could all do with some new tunes, couldn't we?

G20: a new world economic order, at your service
Here's a puffy little piece written masterfully by Steve Schifferes, economic reporter for the BBC News, a piece that makes a new world economic order seem about as snuggly and cozy as a pair of fuzzy bedroom slippers toasting by the fireside.

Is Obama upping war and revenge?
If you're like me and were hoping that Pres. Obama would NOT escalate the war in Afghanistan, please read Chris Floyd's article Darkness Renewed: Terror as a Tool of Empire.
Baitullah Mehsud's recent threat against Washington, DC, if carried out, would give the US government all the onboard (if scammed again) patriots it needs to keep the revenge cycle rolling and the military industrial complex in charge and flush.
Sometimes the healing concept of 'forgiving the unforgivable' - the only way to end revenge escalation personally or publicly - seems very far away, doesn't it?
Especially with "world leaders" having an anti-peace agenda not in the best interests of the innocent people the ruling class so cavalierly dismiss as 'collateral damage.'

Obama abroad: a view from London and Cupid's Love
Der Spiegel has a report on Pres. Obama arriving at 10 Downing Street, London to excited applause on Wednesday, April 1, 2009.
He's being branded the world's best hope or some such nonsense for one mere mortal to handle and definitely the possibility exists of being set up to fail, because no mortal can help but fall off a golden pedestal of exalted praise and admiration!
Still, this little Pandora is hiding a tiny *ray of hope in the dark corner of society's box of ills. Pandora, the asteroid, now traverses the degree range of 10 - 11 Aquarius - between Jupiter 19AQ+ and North Node (path; destiny; forward destination) 6AQ55 which conjuncts or triggers the 'New President' Eclipse of Jan 26, 2009.
The 11 North Series influence includes finding new groups of people to mix with through travel or ideas, and possibly making greater commitments in relationships - Pres. Obama is certainly mixing with a new set of individuals in Europe this week through both travel and ideas...the G20's haughty international crowd of 'global' players. (Eclipse info: Brady's Predictive Astrology.)
Jupiter-NN as a pair is given by Reinhold Ebertin as 'the *Odyle Force of Baron von Reichenbach' which he researched so diligently under the moon's rays attempting to understand the elusive flow of life force in the living organism.
Another life-force-infused myth of similar flavor is that of the Greek myth of Eros (Roman,Cupid.)
'Eros' in Astrology may be used in love matters, of course, and eroticism, but its 'love at first sight' association - and shooting arrow - adds a piercing quality to the asteroid's meaning when prominent in a chart - and with all that the word may imply in working with Mundane Astrology.

But speaking of love, I want to mention that I enjoyed the new TV program last evening, Cupid - and am sending its creators kudos for the cool premise and fun plot line!
As for the G20 Summit this week, my sincere hope is that our president is mixing with new groups and making commitments as much on behalf of the American people's best interests as he purports himself to be...yet without ignoring the interests of the rest of the world.
Sheesh, now I'm at it, too - over-expectations!

*Alan Oken gives Moon sextile Jupiter as the ray of hope aspect. And yes, I have it natally. You didn't guess that, did you? jc
He's being branded the world's best hope or some such nonsense for one mere mortal to handle and definitely the possibility exists of being set up to fail, because no mortal can help but fall off a golden pedestal of exalted praise and admiration!
Still, this little Pandora is hiding a tiny *ray of hope in the dark corner of society's box of ills. Pandora, the asteroid, now traverses the degree range of 10 - 11 Aquarius - between Jupiter 19AQ+ and North Node (path; destiny; forward destination) 6AQ55 which conjuncts or triggers the 'New President' Eclipse of Jan 26, 2009.
The 11 North Series influence includes finding new groups of people to mix with through travel or ideas, and possibly making greater commitments in relationships - Pres. Obama is certainly mixing with a new set of individuals in Europe this week through both travel and ideas...the G20's haughty international crowd of 'global' players. (Eclipse info: Brady's Predictive Astrology.)
Jupiter-NN as a pair is given by Reinhold Ebertin as 'the *Odyle Force of Baron von Reichenbach' which he researched so diligently under the moon's rays attempting to understand the elusive flow of life force in the living organism.
You may wish to view the anatomy of a fanciful representation of the Odyle Force in human form here or skip ahead to the completed version of my drawing Odyle Aura, if you dare.
Another life-force-infused myth of similar flavor is that of the Greek myth of Eros (Roman,Cupid.)
'Eros' in Astrology may be used in love matters, of course, and eroticism, but its 'love at first sight' association - and shooting arrow - adds a piercing quality to the asteroid's meaning when prominent in a chart - and with all that the word may imply in working with Mundane Astrology.
