Glenn Beck Feb 10, 1964: Sun AQ-Moon Cap

Glenn Beck, moderator of The Glenn Beck Show on talk radio, and Fox News TV's guru of political discourse, was born on February 10, 1964 in Mount Vernon, Washington.

As his Wiki bio linked above tells, Beck is a 'self-described recovering alcoholic and drug addict' who credits Alcoholics Anonymous for his sobriety. And as a Roman Catholic who converted to the Latter Day Saints faith, Mr. Beck is under notice not to drink by way of the LDS' health message.

He calls himself a libertarian, too, but since I never listen to him or watch him perform his schtick on radio or TV, I can't say precisely what he means by it.

Feb 10, 1964

Since the Moon remained in ambitious Capricorn for the entire 24-hour period of his day of birth, we may consider Sun Aquarius-Moon Capricorn for his Sun-Moon blend, an Air-Earth combo of energies which has an 'up in the air, down to earth' flavor simultaneously.

The Earth-Air combo is good at making plans and taking action without delay, and it's a master of the practical mundane world. Yet it may easily become stuck in a cost-efficient approach, and may seem rather dry and scientific for it discounts indulging in the world of feelings as if it's a sign of weakness.

Sun AQ-Moon Cap: shrewd honesty; understands human nature; emotionally detached to avoid dependence on others; intimacy not a strong point; enjoys a challenge and a calculated risk; is a practical reformer who possesses firmness of purpose. Independent and full of common sense, this blend is a dedicated searcher for truth with inventive abilities and organizational talent.

'Images for Integration: A revolutionary is elected president...An alien civilization comes to Earth to rescue man from imminent destruction.' (Sun Sign, Moon Sign, Charles and Suzi Harvey.)

The Sun AQ-Moon Cap blend is shared natally by a cast of interesting characters:

Abraham Lincoln, Thomas Edison, Mia Farrow, Betty Friedan, Rosa Parks, Mary Quant, Franco Zefferelli, Jeb Bush, and John Barrymore, who intoned:

"In Genesis it says that it is not good for a man to be alone, but sometimes it's a great relief."

And with Mr. Beck's propensity and flair for controversy and the political shenanigans which have caused him to lose a large share of his advertising sponsorships, perhaps it's more helpful to remember this quote from President Lincoln:

"With malice toward none, with charity for all, with firmness in the right as God give us to see the right."

With malice toward none?

Obama to Wall Street 9.14.09: Sun Virgo-Moon Cancer

It's been a year since Lehman Brothers failed, as you know the biggest bankruptcy in US history, so I'm looking at last year's Sun-Moon blend to gain a smidge of insight, and also at today's blend as the President heads to Wall Street to ask the leopard to change his spots and cease taking such high risks that our economy falters.

With 2009 being a year of a Great Conjunction of the speculator-inflationary pair, Jupiter and Neptune, I wish him luck with that. After all, the New York Stock Exchange was formed under the optimistic rays of a Jupiter/Neptune conjunction in Airy Libra with this year's conjunction/s in Airy Aquarius.

On Sept 14, 2008, the Sun was, of course, in Virgo, but where was the Moon?

In often murky Pisces and at Balsamic phase - the dark of the Moon when secretive things may occur under the radar. The Full Moon occurred on Sep 15, 2008 at 5:13 am edt in NY @ 22Pisces54.

Sun 22Vir54 was near a 13Vir20 Saturn, with Moon having just moved beyond disruptive Uranus 20Pis35 Rx - Moon/Uranus contacts can indicate emotional shocks and sudden changes of lifestyle. And the Sun-Moon opposition formed a T-Square pattern with Pluto at apex. This forms a midpoint picture:

Sun/Moon = Pluto: biased attitudes or changed circumstances lead to critical phases of development; a soul torn by inner conflict. (Ebertin.)

The Images for Integrationfor Sep 14, 2008 which apply for the Full Moon as well are:

'The scientist has a dream and then, in his sacred laboratory, puts the finishing touches on his magnum opus...A peasant rests in the wheat field, and shares his bread, cheese, wine, and wisdom with the hungry laborers.'

'Magnum opus' reminds me of the NWO agenda, of course.

Mr. Obama goes to Wall Street Sep 14, 2009:

Today's Sun Vir-Moon Cancer seems quite illuminating since it mentions America's largest creditor - the nation, not the women:

'Two old Chinese women gossip about family problems as they work rhythmically in the rice paddies...The working mother...A nutritionist serves his family organically grown chicken soup. (Sun Sign, Moon Sign, Charles and Suzi Harvey.)

The critical need for Wall Street to begin acting as if it gives a fig for how its actions affect the US financial system is shown by today's YOD (Finger of God ) pattern between Moon sextile Saturn (24Vir36) which 'points' to nebulous, veiling Neptune 24AQ21 Rx, so this pictures emerges:

Moon/Saturn = Neptune: mirthlessness; anxiety; feeling inferior; sickness of the soul. (Ebertin; Tyl.)

Guess that's 'chicken soup' for the sick soul of a sold-out nation - sold out by Wall Street's and Capitol Hill's lust for wealth and power.

As I said: good luck to the President on his mission as he lobbies the leopards on Wall Street today. His speech may be an exercise in public relations meant to fluff up consumer confidence, more than anything. And it's being performed during a 3rd quarter Moon, the crisis in consciousness phase.

And now a quote from one who shares natally the Sun Virgo-Moon Cancer blend:

"Is it altogether a utopian dream, that once in history a ruling class might be willing to make the great surrender, and permit social change to come about without hatred, turmoil, and waste of human life?"

Upton Sinclair

Oh dear. If frettings about NWO plans are correct, social turmoil is just what the chaos-creating, social tinkerering, financial oligarchs want!

Do you know who runs the US government?

Do you know the players behind the players in Washington, in other words: WhoRunsGov?

The site went live in January this year and its editor is on C-SPAN's Washington Journal right now. It can be user-edited, too, for adding names and bios, and there's a Policy section to see where various officials stand on issues.

And the site plans to add info on lobbyists - who are these clout-wielding people behind the scenes? (All Americans should appreciate that one!)

My plan is to spend some time on the site and get to know administration officials and their staffers better. But this week, my schedule is all about Art...except for the next post I'm preparing concerning President Obama's speech to Wall Street.

Poverty in US way up, Power Elite doing just fine

On September 10, 2009, the US Census Bureau released the latest figures for poverty rates in America which now affect one in eight Americans.

Our plutocrats-in-charge, the grossly wealthy and morally deformed power elite, remain unmoved as their NWO plans steamroll along.

And it continues to amaze me that so few people in this country see a connection!

On Jan 1, 2006, with Astrology as a lens and intuition my guide, I was blogging like the dissenting gnat I am here on SO'W and fussing about upcoming Soup Lines Across America. Was I wrong? Well, I wanted to be, yet felt a sinking feeling that I was not.

Please check out a bit of (Freemason) President Franklin D. Roosevelt's Jan 20, 1937 Inaugural Address where he defines the test of our progress, the dynamics of which I assert were of no concern to George Bush or to other US oligarchs.

So Bush's financial crisis of 2007/2008 expectably occurred, ostensibly giving states and the federal government many excuses for cutting back on public services just when they're needed most; now we see where Republican policies have led - to lukewarm bowls of Sole of Shoe Soup for many Americans, if they can get them.

Update 9.13.09 6:22 pm edt: please check out the On America list in sidebar for a link to a new article concerning the US-Israeli relationship's role in the attacks of 9/11.

You have a message from the President (video)

This arrived in my Inbox and it's got your name on it, too.

It's about Health Care/Insurance Reform, as you guessed.

And to answer TC's query as to why Joe Wilson's outburst, "You Lie!" has not been mentioned on Stars Over Washington, it's for two reasons:

1. his rudeness is a distraction from the real issues and I don't like to promote the GOP, the party that lied us into the Iraq invasion, but is against health care for all Americans;

2. Rep. Wilson misspoke, as they love to say in Politics: he should have said, "We Lie!"

Now that would be a very basic truth worth paying close attention to.

A Saturn/Neptune quincunx and Financial Crisis 2008

In July 2009 I made an attempt to relate the cycle of Saturn and Neptune to the 2007-2008 financial crisis, and to my own general misgivings about the original and current forms of our US government.

And Saturn's 'cold water' end-of-August conjunction with US natal Neptune @ 22Virgo25, the 'grim reality' transit, has added to the general feelings of gloom in the collective. Reality is having to be faced, and it had better be! If only we could get all our Washington politicians to come clean so we could deal, right?

Well, the quincunx (inconjunct), an aspect of 150 degrees, is difficult to deal with at the best of times, which financially we may say these are not. Saturn is form, Neptune is formlessness, and their inconjunct adds to the diffulties as the irreconcilable must be reconciled.

Yet fulfilling social obligations and/or doing social work for the common good are two of the aspect's most positive manifestations, so with today being the 8th anniversary of the 9/11 attacks, it's most apt that a drive is on for the newly established 911 Day of Service and Remembrance. This links 9/11 with the 2003 Iraq War response (misguided though it may have been) when Saturn and Neptune were last inconjunct (2003/04.)

That today's Sept 11 observances in Pennsylvania, New York, and DC fall just hours prior to the perfecting of another Saturn/Neptune quincunx seems synchronistically appropriate, doesn't it?

And most fortuitously for both of us, a brilliant article has been published concerning the transiting Saturn/Neptune quincunx and its part in our economic woes, just in time for the aspect's perfection tomorrow, Sept 12, 2009, with Saturn in Virgo, Neptune in Aquarius.

So if you check it out now, you'll be all set just in time!

Today's 8th anniversary of 9/11 attacks and the Initiate

First let me express my heartfelt condolences to all the family members and friends of those whose lives were so callously extinguished in the attacks of 9/11/01, and provide a link to the newly created National Day of Service and Remembrance website.

With today being the 8th anniversary of the 9/11 attacks, President Obama has called for renewed resolve for chasing the perpetrators.

Wonder if he includes the attacks' enablers (and possibly their co-perpetrators) in America within his resolve? If so, he wouldn't have far to chase, imo.

Astrologically speaking we know that today the Sun has returned to its '19Virgo' degree as on the morning of Sept 11, 2001, and is in conjunction with depressive, realistic loss-bringer, Saturn, planet of accountability. Sun = the leader in a national chart so we hear the president's shout-out to find those accountable.

But I don't think he actually means all of them, do you?

'19 Virgo': "A Swimming Race"...ELIMINATION.

positive expression: man's capacity for any extreme of self-pointedness he may find valuable in a given case;

(As in using 9/11 to score political points? We've had 8+ years of that in America. jc)

neg/unconscious/shadow side: inadequate self-dramatization. (The Sabian Symbols in Astrology, Dr. Marc Edmund Jones.)

Quoting in part from Dane Rudhyar, in his An Astrological Mandala, for '19Vir':

'Keynote: The stimulation that comes from a group effort toward a spiritual goal.

A seeker after spiritual rebirth actually does not strive alone. It is Man who, acting through the most advanced individuals of the race, is taking a step toward "rebirth," or toward a new mutation. The personal ego-centered ambition to succeed and to be "first" is indeed a sign of expectable spiritual failure.

What is needed is EMULATION, not competition.'


And since I occasionally include a Sabian Symbol's opposite degree as its Illumination Point (because it's one of the coolest things about the Sabian Symbols - you can peek beneath the hood of awareness for more info), here is the symbol for...

'19 Pisces'" "A Master Instructing his Pupil"...ELUCIDATION.

pos: high executive ability through patient investigation and genuine psychological insight;

neg/unconsc/shadow side: a desire to live by rule and a conceit of empty knowledge.

And Rudhyar adds quite a few more details for '19Pisc' which you may or may not think apply to today's observances. Or perhaps, like me, you agree the symbol relates on a deeper level to the transfer of power and propagandistic 'terror-fighting' from Bush to President Obama - "renewed resolve" indeed...

'Keynote: The transfer of power and knowledge which keeps the original spirit and creative Impulse of the cycle active and undeviated.

The Hindu ideal of the sacred relationship between guru and chela (disciple) has of late become familiar to a vast number of young and not-so-young people. The doctrine of "the Apostolic succession" in the Roman Catholic Church has a similar significance. The Power and archetypal knowledge released "in the beginning" of any cycle (or at Creation) must be perpetrated until the very Last Day -- the Omega state of which Teilhard de Chardin glowingly speaks.

This Power is the "self" of the cyclic manifestation, the unchanging Tone (AUM) of all existence within this cycle. It can be transmitted form master to disciple at the latter's "Initiation." It must be so transmitted for when the line of transmission (in Sanskrit, guruampara) is discontinued, the cyclic process begins to collapse in futility and spiritual darkness.'

(This symbol)'... is a clue to the supreme technique necessary for the continuation of all manifestation of power and spiritual understanding. The transmission is from person to person; it follows a general, unchanging pattern, yet if operates in terms of particular and individual circumstances. Keyword: INVESTITURE.' #

You know what hay is always made of the US' "peaceful transfer of power" during our Inaugural times, so I believe that "in the beginning" and the rest may be interpreted as referring to the founding of America and the succession of power through the presidential line, which, if you think as I do, means that though the face in the Oval Office changes, the original intent and the ultimate mission of our invisible plutocracy (publicly centered in that Freemasonic White Lodge we call "the White House'), remain the same through "the baton-passing" of January 20 @ noon in Washington, DC.

And the secret message from the old president to the new - the one left in the drawer of the Resolute Desk which we-the-people are never privy to - must be some very fine occult reading for the new "Initiate."

Here's Teilhard de Chardin's Wiki bio which contains a link to his concept of the Omega Point and to his development of Vernadsky's Noosphere.

Jesuit priest, philosopher, geographer, and paleontologist Teilhard de Chardin, was born May 1, 1881. Synchronistically, I just peeked at a natal chart for him using 'noon' (as one tends to do for famous people whose birth hour is unknown) and natal Moon = 16 Gemini+, the Moon's position right now here in Georgia.

Ancient synagogue discovered in Israel

Did you hear that near the Sea of Galilee the remains of an ancient synagogue have been uncovered?

The article contains a photo of a carved stone with interesting symbols upon it dating from Roman times, circa the Jewish revolt against their Roman occupiers.

Guess the sandal of oppression switches back and forth between tootsies on a regular, if slow, schedule, doesn't it?
