'Understanding Corporate Logos' (video) and Symbolism


Early on in the study of Astrology, we novices become accustomed to working with glyphs such as those for planets and Zodiacal signs, ancient archetypes found in constellations and mythology, and symbols such as the Sabian Symbols. In our daily visual world we find symbols liberally sprinkled throughout our lives though their deeper meanings may be veiled, obscured, and purposefully hidden. Few are as ubiquitous as those used in advertising and promotion.

What we think we see is never all we perceive

For your consideration, here are excerpts in two parts of Understanding Corporate Logos (total run time 16 mins 28 secs) which discuss the occult (hidden) implications of certain symbols which the corporate world typically call logos, a Greek word from which English derives the word 'logic' and denoting persuasion of a targeted audience via reason and logic, a left brain function (analysis, words.)

This seems curious (by which I mean, duplicitous) since the following corporate symbolic logos are sneakily aimed directly toward the right side of our brains, the intuitive, image processing area:

Who are the Democrats Supporting TPP? - The Thom Hartmann Program

The US Congress is scheduled to vote this Friday June 12, 2015, and the secretive, anti-sovereign, anti-environment, anti-workers-rights, anti-democratic, anti-American #TPP "free trade" deal is on the verge of gathering 60 nations into a vicious glop of new world orderism. This "deal" may be the final sell-out of the American people and as a checkmate on China, it won't work because, thanks to Nixon, Reagan, and subsequent presidents and their enablers, that gigantic fire-breathing dragon has already left the cave.

So as Thom Hartmann says here as he calls out Capitol Hill Democrats who are induced to vote for the draconian "deal", Call Your Congressman Now!! Unless you value amoral corporations over people, that is:

#TPP #TPA #SecretTradeDeals #NewWorldOrder #Globalism #GlobalGovernment #Corporatism #Totalitarianism #ThomHartmann

One of the "Democrats" promoting the TPP (behind closed doors) is Nancy Pelosi whose Scorpio Moon is apparently telling a Scorpionic tale of betrayal with a side dish of manipulation and control of others.

Astrologically, on June 12, 2015 in the Eastern Time Zone, the Moon (We the People; the public mood) is bracketed in the morning (10:32 am) with a Moon-Saturn inconjunct (an aspect of adjustment--the Moon-Saturn duo is depressive but can also represent ambition, direction, and strategy, an echo-chamber word in the news these days) and a Moon-Venus square at 10:12 pm suggesting blockages, obstacles, and delay.

And of course we always remember the political equation (and calculation):

Corporatism + Statism = Fascism.

June 8, 2015 The President Speaks at G7 Summit in Germany

A Power Elite Masquerade

It is my considered opinion that if "world leaders" and their wealthy enablers would stop ruining most of what they touch, meddling in other people's business, undermining governmental systems and economies, embezzling whatever they can grasp, and creating problems where few existed before--while pretending to help--then not one of them would have nearly as many "solutions" to find. jc

BREAKING: Intense Brutal Clashes At The #G7 - video

When an astrology-tinged post concerning the secretive June 7-8, 2015 G7 Summit in Germany was published here a couple of days ago, I mentioned constellation Pleiades and one of its stars Alcyone but neglected mentioning Taurus' rage-filled stars denoting a tendency toward violence and brutality because I hoped it would not be necessary.

But here you see how things proceeded as heavy-handed policemen protect the power elite and their political shills and agents against peaceful protesters whose lives will be affected by the policies and programs the bigwig G7-ers plan to force into place as if they're gods on high:

#G7 #SchossElmau #Germany #AngelaMerkel #Pleiades #Alcyone #Protests #OlympianGods in their own minds!

Astrology and the G7 Summit June 7 and 8, 2015 Schloss Elmau, Gemany


June 2015: Germany, France, Italy, the UK, Japan, the US, Canada, and the European Commission Hunker Down

Details concerning the June 7 & 8, 2015 G7 Summit in Germany are available for the curious. Included are this year's motto ("Think Ahead. Act Together"), key topics, and what this year's symbols stand for though obviously symbols can represent a variety of levels of reality, all tucked neatly beneath their outer meanings. Let's consider this year's crop of 3 symbols mentioned on the website, above:

1. A mountain. Said to be chosen because of the G7 2015 venue in the Alpine location of Schloss Elmau, Germany in Upper Bavaria. (Note that Adam Weishaupt set up the May 1, 1776 Illuminati society--in Bavaria.)

A mountain symbolizes a pyramid and it's no stretch with these 'power elites' to assume that that would be a pyramid of power. The concept of a mountain pilgrimage also comes to mind and what a centuries-long pilgrimage it's been for generations of bossy power grabbers determined to march the world toward Global Government. Simultaneously they manage to squish all the fun out of life for those who get in their way with more mayhem in store if that's what the establishment of a new order takes "...by consent or by conquest," a new world order freak once threatened.

2. Seven lines. On the face of it, these allegedly symbolize for the 2015 Summit (another mountain reference!) the '7 routes that lead toward a common goal'--the pinnacle, one presumes. Note the emphasis on the number '7' as in, "The Light of the Sixth Race Transmuted to the Seventh" in the Sabian Symbols. Many people recognize that it's late days for their global agenda and the ideas of a change and a turning point have been felt by you and me but have also continually promoted by the media and others as the New Millennium has careened along with higher (lower!) levels of primal violence, depopulation, and greed used a tactics against decent people. "Hope and Change" was a mighty handy if tiresomely deceptive campaign slogan, wasn't it?

Noting also that the 2015 begins on the 7th, perhaps you know that 7 is the number of the Universe as well as being found in the Bible (seven times seven), in Hebrew and Greek cultures, and in other places and systems such as references to the Japanese concept of the Seven Lucky Gods. Perhaps the summit attendees from Japan can share how lucky the seven of them feel to be 'in charge' while busily climbing the pyramid of power which also has the distinction of being a symbol for the original satanic corporation, the Tower of Babel.

Plus, who can forget the 7 days of the week, the 7 known planets prior to the discovery of Uranus, or the 7 weeping sisters of the Pleiades constellation with its difficult stars such as Alcyone? (You may remember that Alcyone was eclipsed in May 2012.)

3. Colors. The colors of the 2015 summit are said to 'reflect the countryside of the Wetterstein mountain range and the architecture of Schloss Elmau'. Since color symbolism depends on particular cultures and since I know little of German culture or know what colors Angela Merkel prefers, I'll let you figure out what the G7 2015 colors portend.

Thing is, since Germany plays the role of G7 president this year, Merkel fronts for their stated (and hidden) goals which include "the upcoming UN conferences on international climate protection and the post-2015 agenda" and naturally the global economy is said to be a target, too.

Astrology Notes: Sun in Traveling Gemini and Moon in Two Signs

Now astrologically there are many hints and clues to be found nestled within the horoscopes of June 7 - 8, 2015 in Scloss Elmau, Germany. What I tend to do with summits and other group endeavors is to set up at least two horoscopes for the beginning and ending dates--the first for 12:00 am local time, the second for 11:59 pm even though the events probably wind up earlier and begin later in the day or the morning. This covers the Sun (conscious) and Moon (unconscious) degree positions and naturally provides the signs and any sign changes which may occur. Midpoint pictures, aspects, planetary significators, rulers, and other factors of course apply but I prefer not to type it all out in a blog due to my theory that no reader has patience or the interest in reading what would amount to a small book.

There's Venus Again

Yet for this summit I shall mention a few general chart factors such as the secretive meeting's beginning lunar phase of Dissemination (+234:01; spreading information) and the fact that 12:00 am on June 7 is an Hour of Mars @17Gem59. Instigator Mars is out-of-bounds of the earthly plane and thus isolated from the rest of the actors (planets.) This degree conjures images of the June 2004 G-20 Summit on Sea Island, Georgia USA which was brazenly held precisely during the last (current) Transit of Venus (17Gemini), then the second Transit in 2012. Now many folks hoped the Transits would herald an increase of feminine leaders in top positions (such as Hillary for US president 2012) but with my usual Capricorn-tinted lenses, I had to lean toward an increase of paternalism (militarism, aggression, police state on the rise, GOP 'war on women', etc.) Of course, Angela Merkel leads the G-7 this year and as noted, Hillary still wants to be #POTUS -- both are females, yes, but rather Martian ones, imho. Neocons in skirts are not really an improvement toward the common good though you may disagree.

So the G7 Summit 2015 begins with Sun in Gemini, Moon in Aquarius. This is a Double Air combo of The Thinker who handles people with great insight and skill while weaving clever arguments. Detached and observant, such actors are under the faulty impression that complete objectivity is possible (the arch-objectivist Ayn Rand comes to mind with her frosty survival of the fittest selfishness, and the world certainly seems to be bedeviled by such depopulating speculators, brigands, and cheats who pretend to govern while breaching the public trust at every turn. Guess this summit is a meeting of the cream of the crop.

As for America, transit Pluto in mid-Capricorn remains within orb of its ongoing opposition to US natal Sun (POTUS), challenging the power of his office. Plus, US Sun happens to conjoin goddess star, Sirius, which implicates ancient secret societies and hints of the paternal-maternal blending of energies ('war on women' or worship of women as Madonna-esque child-bearers vs whorish sex symbols), and now in 2015 we see on a major magazine cover another sex-related issue of transgenderism more clearly than we could guess in 2004. After all, polarities must become one eventually--and no genders will be necessary in heaven.

Moral Deformity Behind Closed Doors?

Now the June 7th Sun @16Gemini has a Sabian Symbol of note: "A Woman Agitator Makes an Impassioned Plea to a Crowd"...Angela? Is that you? Curiously, the latest possible degree and symbol within our time frame is 18Gemini: "Two Chinese Men Talking Chinese," a symbol relating to those having "specialized objectives" and a sense of exclusiveness (Jones.) And yes, a need for more isolation turns up in the two horoscopes along with "A Grand Army of the Republic Campfire" (Saturn @1Sag), Corporatism and The Syndicate (Cupido conjunct Venus in early Leo conjunct President Obama's natal Mercury), "dreams about agricultural policies" (Agenda 21? engineered famines? chemical and GMO contamination of food supplies? the latest Moon position reaches US natal Ceres which conjoins our nation's Pluto-Chiron midpoint of Plutocracy, oppression, and exploitation), fortunate decisions, manipulation viafalse flag ops, feverish haste toward realizing goals, the use of religion as a tactic or diversion, vacillation and quick tempers, the illusion that they are free of all traditions and societal conventions, and "delusions about popular support for current policies" once the Moon nears deceptive Neptune in Pisces and the luxurious spa empties of its pampered patrons.

With the Moon leaving Aquarius and floating into Pisces during the summit, we note that a Sun Aquarius-Moon Pisces blend is a more emotional Air-Water mix of energies which gives the attendees a sea-change toward communication, dreaminess, and cunning. Journalism is spotlighted as summit intentions and goings-on are touted as being quite different than they actually are--and much of the world mistrusts these jokers. This is a chameleon blend that 'blows with the wind' and may be truth-challenged as shown in a famous quote by an English writer who was born under the Sun AQ-Moon Pisces combination, Arnold Bennett, so let's close with a few of his words of wisdom spoken from experience which perfectly describe conditions in 2015:

"Journalists say a thing that they know is not true, in the hope that if they keep on saying it long enough it will be true."

Agreed, in most cases. So if you hear of any results or policies issuing out of G-7 Summit 2015, get ready for flights of fancy, well-worn propaganda, and facile assurances of the good intentions of 'world leaders' who must meet in secret far away from the public's prying eyes in order to speak freely and make their draconian plans.

Astro-Notes: John Oliver April 23, 1977


HBO's Last Week Tonight is hosted by a British comedian with a dry sense of humor that American politicians, Politics, and society royally need. My theory has been to ridicule the powerful as much and as often as possible and John Oliver does not disappoint. In fact, Oliver is brilliant at it--first on Comedy Central's The Daily Show with Jon Stewart and now on his own, Last Week Tonight.


A Few Astro-Notes on Political Satirist John Oliver

Without knowing a correct birth time I'm using 'noon' on his birth date of April 23, 1977 Erdington, West Midlands, England. And although during the day the Moon left Gemini and reached 00Cancer00, a Cardinal World Point of prominence and fame, the more descriptive personality blend for John Oliver seems to be Sun in Taurus with natal Moon in communicative, witty Gemini rather than in the domestic, emotional, self-protective sign of Cancer. And of course, by progression, natal Moon in Gemini would still have triggered 00Cancer some months after birth--or years by Solar Arc.

If my surmise is correct, Sun Taurus-Moon Gemini is an Earth-Air combination of energies which identifies Mr. Oliver as innovative, rational, and able to bring together abstract thought with real world issues. This is a 'practical idealist' whose aim is to 'come to grips with reality while making his efforts as humane and far-reaching as possible' and this his reports on Last Week Tonight certainly do.

A dry sense of irony and humor are evident in this blend along with an adroit and accurate use of language. A caution is to not allow the personality to become 'dry as dust' since the emotional realm may not be a strong suit. Potentials embedded within one major midpoint picture between the three outer planets may also describe Oliver's comedy style and career objectives: Neptune-Pluto = Uranus: disruption to gain recognition; adventurous ego thrust; making waves to get to shore; possibly aberrant behavior (Tyl); flair for the unusual (Ebertin).

With a birth date of April 23, 1977, we know that John Oliver's Pre-Natal Solar Eclipse Series is the 15 South which manifested on April 18, 1977 @28Aries. Its themes include a lingering situation that suddenly clears up with a collective sense of loss or grief and a sudden release of tension (Brady). 15S last manifested on May 9, 2013 @20Taurus but may not have had a particular influence on his life in 2013--or did it since natal Sun @3Taurus may be within orb but natal Mercury @13Taurus is not within a 5-degree orb of 20 Taurus.

Well, this is only a snippet of a portrait of John Oliver with no birth hour known to determine chart angles and cusps. Let's close with a list of his planets' approximate positions at noon on his day or birth. Besides sign-ruler (dispositor) information, emotional tendencies and childhood conditions are shown by the Moon's sign; his ego drive and sense of self by the Sun's sign, thinking processes and communications style by Mercury's sign; the sort of relationships he attracts and is attracted to is shown by the sign of Venus; desires and motivation by the sign of Mars; how he relates to others is shown by Jupiter's sign; flaws or fears and a sense of authority by Saturn's sign, behavior by the sign of Uranus; dreams and illusions are eluded to by Neptune's sign, and sense of power and a deep well of creativity by Pluto's:

Sun 3Taurus; Moon 28Gemini; Mercury 13Taurus; Venus 8Aries; Mars 26Pisces; Jupiter 4Gemini; Saturn 10Leo; Uranus 10Scorpio; Neptune 15Sagittarius; Pluto 12Libra.

Today's News and the Two Natal Horoscopes for Jeb Bush

May 31, 2015 News of the Day includes the sad death of VP Biden's son, Beau, due to brain cancer and the hapless thigh bone break of our cycling-in-France Secretary of State John Kerry who is flying back to Boston today to consult the doctor who previously performed his hip surgery, plus, the last sign-off by Bob Schieffer from Face the Nation.

Then at midnight tonight comes the expiration of some provisions of the draconian US Patriot Act which will begin to be dismantled around 4:00 pm today by the NSA if Congress doesn't act. Or that's their script anyway and they're sticking to it.

Okay now, if we must, let's talk Jeb Bush who wants to play president like his dad and brother did:

The presumptive 2016 presidential candidate Jeb Bush has two potential birth times on February 11, 1953: Rodden's 8:50 pm CST and a Starkman-rectified time of 2:28:16 am, Midlands, Texas. Naturally, different degrees for the chart angles and cusps result, plus, the Moon is at 26Cap01 at 8:50 am on that date and at 14Cap49 at 2:28:16 am CST. There are other slight differences which may be compared or contrasted by clicking or tapping the link, then the links for each natal horoscope. One difference, however, stands out for its change of sign: Mercury from late Aquarius (28:49) to 00Pis13.

Now it has been written (and I'm not certain by whom) that US presidents who tend to be elected have links between their natal positions and the US Moon in Aquarius, the We the People signature of the public in Mundane Astrology. There may be additional links, of course, and with Mr. Bush this is the case no matter which birth hour is considered. Other important connections between candidates and the nation include their natal placements with election day planets and the applicable Inauguration horoscope, in this case those for November 8, 2016 and January 20, 2017. As usual with US inaugurations since FDR changed the date from early March to January 20 (unless that's a Sunday, then it's the 21st), rising at noon in Washington DC is 13-15 Taurus which makes Venus the chart and presidential Oath of Office ruler rather than a Cancer-rising Moon as had been the case prior to 1937.

Here are a few of the links between Jeb Bush's natal planets and points from both charts with those of the US natal chart of July 4, 1776 5:09 pm LMT Philadelphia, PA:

Jeb (Starkman version): Sun 22AQ20 in wide conjunction with US natal Moon, Mercury 28AQ49 with its Utopian ideas conjoins US n Moon; Moon @14Cap49 opposes US natal Sun in Cancer and SIRIUS; ASC 4Sag12 (Jupiter as chart ruler) is currently being crossed and will be recrossed by Saturn, planet of responsibility and accountability. We see this in the news concerning Jeb's neocon credentials and his brother's (and his) invasion of the Middle East. ('Who's responsible for the creation of ISIS?', etc. I'd say that all are; you may remember that when Saturn crossed George W. Bush's natal Ascendant, he was being criticized for his lack of appropriate response to Hurricane Katrina victims); MC, the Aspiration-Goal-Career Point @14Vir50, puts US natal Neptune in 10th house of Public Status. Major aspects of Jupiter as chart ruler include a sextile to Uranus @15 Cancer (which conjoins the Pentagon's natal Ascendant), and squares to his natal Pluto in Leo and North Node in Aquarius. We might say that a powerful midpoint picture forms indicating that Jeb can force himself into a power position through his contacts with plutocrats.

Jeb (Rodden version): his Moon @26Cap01 conjoins US natal Pluto which stimulates our national Mercury-Pluto opposition of propaganda, secrets, surveillance, and spying across the Security axis (Can-Cap); the Moon-Pluto duo indicates potentials for publicity, extreme emotions, and 'the pursuit of selected objectives with fanatical zeal and with subsequent attainment without regard for other people' (Ebertin); Mercury @00Pis13 denotes philosophical ideas, the ability to fantasize, and conjoins America's Pre-Natal Solar Eclipse (Declaration of Independence July 4, 1776) in the 12 South Saros Series with themes of 'successful outcomes to long-term worries that are draining' (Brady). 12S manifested most recently in 2010 @19Cancer. This ASC @23Vir23 makes trickster Mercury his chart ruler rather than expansive Jupiter, as above, and links directly to US natal Neptune while his MC holds up US natal Mars in duplicitous Gemini for all the world to see its misguided motivations and 'fog of war' implications.

Actually, an Ascendant of 23Virgo places America's problematic Mars-Neptune square on full display by Jeb Bush (ASC) and marks his Goal (MC) to be in the field of martial actions and warmongering. Now I don't know which horoscope you prefer for the former governor of Florida (the hanging chad state that helped slide oilmen Dubya and Cheney into the back door of the White House) but either chart is not okay by me--even if I have to vote for Hillary Clinton whose presidency would bring back all the Bill-Hill baggage for another round of ignoring the real issues of the American people. Neocons all!

As for Jeb, his outer planets and other placements naturally remain the same no matter which birth hour you prefer such as: an aggressive Venus-Mars conjunction in early Aries, a creative yet depressive Saturn-Neptune conjunction in Libra (helpfully trined by Mercury) which conjoins Arcturus, the star that represents the White House in the original Federal Triangle layout of the District, and Spica, the celestial rep for the phallic, solar cult Washington Monument, and Venus-ruled Jupiter @13Taurus which as noted conjoins America's Inauguration Ascendant. Natal Jupiter in 'Taurus the Bull' tells us that he relates to others in a Taurean way and indicates an urge to gain wealth and possessions, liberality, a love of comfort, a tendency toward wastefulness--and of course, we think of Wall Street greed mixed with a streak of intolerance and prejudice.

Now in spite of the mainstream media's insistence that Jeb is the GOP's "front runner" for the 2016 nomination, here's The Young Turks' Cenk Uygur with an enlightening report concerning the candidacy and potential presidency of money-raiser Jeb Bush:
