Top Five Astro-Events for September




1. Saturn enters Virgo on September 2, and soon hits critical points in the presidential candidates' charts. Saturn here tests their resolve about military deployments in Iraq and elsewhere, shaking out those who don't carry Saturn's clarity and resolve. Saturn will oppose Uranus in 2008, evoking the same configuration that split the American psyche over Vietnam.

2. Pluto turns direct September 7 and Venus turns direct the next day, right on the U.S. Midheaven, marking an eventful phase, especially in the economy; watch for leading indicators to reveal the direction. Pluto's station often brings natural or humanitarian disasters. Also, political, military, and business leaders rise and fall on these dates.

3. Solar Eclipse on September 11 takes place simultaneously with the U.S. Mars Return, indicating an emphasis on terrorism and how to combat it. This eclipse takes place near the U.S. Neptune, as well as the Saturn-Uranus opposition on election day (November 4, 2008), foreshadowing the growing division over how to manage America's military-petroleum complex.

4. The Sun, Mars and Pluto form an angry, dramatic T-square, most dangerous from the 11th to 21st. Expect power plays, extreme actions, and direct confrontations at all levels of society. Compromise is highly unlikely, as leaders stake out unwavering positions against powerful enemies. Watch for an unusual number of explosions, fires, and accidents to make headline news.

5. The Fallnoglossary> Equinox takes place at 5:52 am (EDT), September 23. In Washington, DC. Uranus is right on the Descendant, where it likely describes an ongoing crisis atmosphere in the nation's capital. The chart set for New York City has 18º Virgo Rising, the same degree as the Solar Eclipse, perhaps signaling a financial reversal or other spectacular event.

                                                           September




August 26th, 2007


September, the month of the much-heralded Petraeus report, looks to be a **** of a month. To begin with, the two powerhouses of dramatic transformation will be simultaneously activated on Sunday, September 2, with both a Mercury/Pluto square and a Mars/Uranus opposition which will also be active through September 3. This combination suggests an upsurge in violence, accidents, and extreme drama in time for the Labor Day weekend. Anyone traveling should be cautious and not give in to the irritability and impatience of Mars/Uranus.

The Sun/Moon conjunction opposite Uranus on September 10 and 11, also a very brutal eclipse chart, suggests great upset and agitation on those days, as well as the promise of potential disruption in various locations for the coming year. Moreover, the heady feeling of expansive US military activity will extend through most of the month, especially until September 22. With Jupiter crossing the US Ascendant (12Sagittarius58), there will be a tendency for large, bold operations.

Of greatest concern is the period from the 16th through the 21st, when the building anger and potential violence of a Sun/Mars square moves to join with Pluto, becoming a T-square from the 19th through the 21st (23 to 26 of the mutable signs). These will be intense days, especially towards the end due to Pluto’s involvement, suggesting sharp violence, disruption, and possibly natural catastrophes or dangerous accidents. The severe and significant events that correspond with these planets lead directly into the Fall Equinox chart of September 23, a chart which suggests an increase in violence and increasingly chaotic conditions in Iraq for the following three months. In the equinox chart drawn for Baghdad, Pluto sits on the Ascendant and Mars, in opposition, on the Descendant. This dangerous configuration will heat up appreciably by late October through November when Pluto moves to its exact conjunction with the Ascendant (27Sagittarius56), indicating a period of extreme confrontation between unbending foes in Iraq.

                                                     Sadr on Hold





August 31st, 2007

Shiite cleric Moqtada al Sadr has put a freeze on his militia’s operations, but has threatened to rescind the order unless military raids against his people cease. We are now going into a long weekend of very agitating planetary activity through Tuesday, September 4, and it is quite likely this will bring an influx of violence to war-torn Iraq. In particular, the very volatile and inflammatory Mars/Uranus square will be active from Saturday through Tuesday, lengthened by the Moon/Mars conjunction on Tuesday in the waning hours of the Mars/Uranus square. It is hard to imagine that the weekend will not try Sadr’s patience significantly.

As mentioned in the previous post, the entire month promises to be quite agitated, especially from September 19 onward, initiated by the Mars/Pluto opposition on September 19 through September 21. This aspect will stir up the power struggles and conflicting agendas in Iraq indicated by the current Pluto station square Mercury (27Pisces14) in the Gulf War chart. It will be followed by the Fall Equinox chart which points to a huge influx in violence in Iraq (9/23/07; 12:52 PM; Baghdad), due to the Pluto/Mars opposition across the horizon line which is in T-square with the Sun. A continuation of the moratorium on the activity of Sadr’s Shiite militia seems quite unlikely under these aspects.

                                          Bush's Reign WIthout his Brain





Sorry - I couldn't help myself! The Brain, of course, refers to the recent departure of Karl Rove who is commonly known as Bush's Brain.





Nancy Sommers (Waterman) writes a biting commentary on the next few months of Bush's Reign:

 
Unfortunately, Bush’s tendency to see the world as he wants it to be, through the rose-tinted lens of his neocon glasses, will completely obscure any rational thinking through October 2007, and to a lesser extent through the duration of his term. Recently, his jarring cheerfulness in the face of multiple abject failures and his self-aggrandizing fantasies of being lionized by history have been seen by others as increasingly disconnected from reality. With Bush’s progressed Moon square his natal Neptune from late September through October activating the peak month of the year-long solar arc progressed Ascendant conjunct Neptune, in addition to the transiting Jupiter square his natal Moon/Jupiter conjunction in October, we can expect Bush to be flying high during the next few months on grandiose delusions to which the rest of us who live in the reality-based world are not privy.

It is noteworthy that this comes just after a likely US expansion of military activity in the second and third weeks of September (Jupiter conjunct US Ascendant), as well as during a time when violence is likely to escalate in both Iraq and Pakistan (see below). With transiting Neptune opposing Bush’s natal Venus and sesquiquadrate his natal Neptune picking up again in late December 2007 through February 2008, and again from September through mid-November 2008, future periods when the White House Wizard thinks he has turned noxious weeds into an apple orchard are likely. But the curtain will rapidly drop on his inner fairy tales as his presidency reaches its final days, due to the fading of Neptune’s hallucinatory impact in his chart by late November 2008 and the growth of Saturn’s painful, earth-bound lessons and disillusionment at that time.

Upcoming Solar Eclipse - 9/11/07



The second solar eclipse of 2007 is a partial eclipse of the Sun, on September 11, accompanied by some unpleasant aspects (as you might expect on a date like that!). However, the eclipse is not likely to have a massive impact, as it will only be visible in Antarctica, the South Atlantic and parts of South America. The partial eclipse begins at 10:25:46 UT and ends at 14:36:33 UT. View the map here. For more on the science of eclipses, see Fred Espenak's NASA Eclipse Home Page.


Eclipse in Virgo

 This eclipse occurs at 18°25' of Virgo, the sign of the Virgin. The blessed constellation Corona Borealis, the Northern Crown, is rising over Buenos Aires, with the Fixed Star Alphecca blazing at Ariadne's forehead. Menken is also rising, so astrology, literature, science and love will flow, but there are definite signs of trouble and strife, due to the difficult aspects with Mars (passion; warfare), Uranus (unexpected disaster) and Pluto (obstruction; power struggles).

Solar eclipses don't often pass over populated areas, but when they do, they appear to have significant disruptive effects on the people and nations concerned (e.g., economic or political crises, civil unrest). This is not a particularly potent eclipse, but it does affect certain trigger spots, namely Argentina, Bolivia, and Brazil, with Chile, Paraguay, Peru and Uruguay in South America all receiving their fair share of the action. Antarctica is also affected, but is so thinly populated that unless an earthquake is centred there, we cannot expect much.

My colleague, Ian Thurnwald, points out that Solar Eclipses also seem either to trigger or amplify natural events in the regions they affect (e.g., severe weather, earthquakes). Whether this effect is an astrological one or not, is a moot point, though recent scientific work on the effects of the Moon on earthquakes and other terrestrial phenomena is interesting. No doubt they would hasten to deny any astrological effect! The eclipse being in Virgo means that people with mutable signs (Virgo; Pisces; Gemini; Sagittarius) featured in their birthcharts are more likely to be affected.

                                                      ECCLESIASTES




 
There is a time for everything and a season for every activity under heaven.

There is nothing men more readily give themselves to than pushing their own beliefs. When ordinary means fail, they add commandment, violence, fire and sword. (Michael Eyquem De Montaigne - French Philosopher 1533-1592)

Loyalty…is a realization that America was born of revolt, flourished in dissent, became great through experimentation. Our tradition is one of protest and revolt and it is stultifying to celebrate the rebels of the past…while we silence the rebels in the present. (Henry Steele Commager – 1902 and American Educator.

I don’t know about where you live, but there is a quiet here in the west. The trees are rustling with that wind that comes in the fall and can only move leaves in a way that says “change” is coming, even though the leaves haven’t started turning here. The day was warm, the sky bright blue, still the trees are rustling and children laughing and playing after dark, reluctant to leave one moment of summer behind.

Pluto and Venus have turned direct but are stationary, giving the world time to gather our breath from the last several months of floods, earthquakes, tornados, war, scandals, lies, corruption and everything else that goes on that list and here we are sandwiched between two eclipses. As the late Madeline L`Engle aptly named one of her books, we seem to be experiencing “A Wrinkle in Time,” and the energies around us are conducive to using them to find our own geometric Tesseract, over the next couple of days. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tesseract

Pluto making the first of its final lap toward the end of Sagittarius and the first beginning of Capricorn, will seem explosive to us, here and in Iraq as Pluto will square the Sun of the war’s beginning, but that will not be the only explosion. Ecclesiastes tell us there is a “time to tear down and a time to build up.” We are still tearing down here, all the edifices in which we have placed our faith and while crumbling, they still haven’t completely fallen. This next 18 months will see a great deal fall, and still we won’t be finished with the tearing down. Look for all that has been hidden and repressed the last six months to come spilling, spilling, spilling out; the good, the bad and the ugly. Lately we have been treated to a steady stream of sex scandals and still the “hydra” has not been uncovered, still the worst of ourselves and the worst of our leaders continue to hang over Washington like a noxious gaseous fume.

Venus is now stationary direct at 16 degrees Leo return over the Saturn/Neptune opposition point. When it passes that point in the zodiac we will have a better idea how much truly serious trouble in which our financial institutions find themselves and by proxy, how much our personal financial stability has been affected. The government and banks are stealing us blind and have been for over 100 years while we just kept toiling for them; “a time to plant and a time to up-root” we’re being up-rooted. If you think we might be in bad shape, think of the people who thought they belonged to the party of the “haves and have mores.” Oh dear, to find out you are not is a really bitter blow, so much more so than those who never were in that category. Take GWB’s advice this month and do some disaster preparedness, I think that was as close a suggestion as we will get to a “head’s up.”

And now to the Eclipse; my hope is Morgana will write something about this eclipse but I am going to give my impressions as well.

This eclipse at 18 Virgo is a powerful and disturbing eclipse as it opposes Uranus and the Sun and Moon will pass a square to Mars within two days, Moon will be within two hours. Think of the properties of Virgo and the 6th house when looking at this eclipse. Virgo rules one’s work, the military, food and health. Anything from a serious virus could be unleashed, to an unsafe food supply, to martial law, to healings. Any and all of those things are possible and yes, probable over the next few months. The questions swirling around the safety of our food supply will be of utmost concern as well as a national health care policy. With Uranus opposing the eclipse point and Mars squaring, some aspect of the military will be front and center because of an explosive type of energy; that could be an earthquake, New Orleans type of hurricane again, a faux terrorists attack creating a need in the mind of this government and opening the door to complete dictatorship and martial law (let’s hope that’s not the case) The Mars/Uranus angle indicates some type of action is coming over the next several months. The eclipse in the 12th house indicates that whatever happens we won’t see it coming but the 12th house will give the potential of great healing advances or a better understanding (out of necessity) of natural healing practices.

This Eclipse is a big one for the world, not just the US, these energies hit all around the world. This eclipse series begin in July of 1917 and brought the Russian Revolution and the international Pandemic that caused so many deaths around the world. Scientists now believe it was a type of bird flu, and related to what we have floating around now. The period of time from 1912 and WWI, set the seeds sowing for WWII and today’s present “wars and rumors of wars,” we do not seem to learn much from history.

In this Eclipse chart Mars is once again on the US Mars and squares US Neptune, I have spoken of the Mars/Neptune square being set off by different planets many times so I won’t bore you by going into all that, but with transiting Mars there, it acts (for the US) in a manner of behaving as our own worst enemy and not seeing ourselves clearly; and of course an activation of the signature of the US since 2000, that signature would be – lying, corruption, lying, greed and more lying. It is true that there are always liars in the world particularly in politics, but it has absolutely been taken to an art form the last to 10 years.

You will read a great many dire predictions regarding this eclipse and some of those possibilities will unfold over the next six months however, I witnessed an amazing thing about a piece human nature this last week, from an 18 month old.

My son and his wife left for a six day vacation and I had charge of my 18th month old granddaughter. Having spent a few days on her other grandmother’s farm she returned terrified of bees and calls anything that buzzes including flies, bees. She screams and cries and runs for cover when flies are around, shrieking “bees, Mimi, bees.” No amount of reassurance that they are just flies will comfort her. Armed with my trusty fly swatter I set about getting rid of any fly that came into the house. With the last one gone and Hailey clinging to my leg and tears running down her face, trusting me to have ridded her of the “bees” that never existed except in her mind, I picked her up, dried her tears, calmed her shaking and assured her the “bees” were all gone. She said “don, ‘da’ bees don?” “Yes” I said with a big kiss. With that she wriggled out of my arms ran to the garage door, opened it wide and yelled “tum-in (come in) bees,” inviting her enemy back into the house. She was addicted to the game and the fear of the game.

I thought about the upcoming election and the sad pathetic roster of candidates of both parties, the politics as usual they all play and how much we moan and argue and shriek over what is happening in our government. How much fear we have, and yet we keep throwing open the door saying “tum-in bees,” when the “bees” don’t even exist, they are in reality flies. It makes me wonder if we “draw” what we fear to ourselves deliberately in order for our spirit to be able to conquer and overcome our deepest fears and is that what has been happening to humanity and continues to happen. We have a fear based government, why would that be unless we ourselves collectively are fear based.

There are so many possibilities surrounding this eclipse, some of those possibilities in their worst expression, could be terrifying in their application, our food and medical supply, not to mention toys have already been corrupted. The war in Iraq is already going with a lot of energy surrounding the threat of expanding that war to include other countries, the North American Union Treaty (NAU) has been signed. We know we have a government with a tendency to act out the worst of the energy creating “bees” out of “flies,” but there are other possibilities of great healing information, planting our own gardens even if it’s in pots, a start on cleaning up the environment, doing what we can to swat the “bees’ away, most importantly making sure we are not reacting to just “flies” with terror and when we do react, do so with the mind set that they are just “flies;” even if they come back, we can rid ourselves of them.

On the anniversary of 9/11 it’s a good exercise to review what the Saturn/Pluto opposition wrought upon the US and the rest of the world. The meaning of a Saturn/Pluto opposition is transformation, a change of what went before and what won’t work again, no matter how hard we try to make things the same. We know what that means in our individual life, but what about a country or a world? What did go before the Saturn/Pluto opposition in this country, this world? Let’s name some of them; war as a way to make money and clear out the excess population of a country or several countries. We had a belief that the FDA in this country worked or was working to its capacity, that we had the best medical care in the world (we did have the best equipment, not care) that our politicians were basically working on our behalf, that our financial institutions and investments were safe for the most part, and that our infrastructure was fundamentally strong and working and that our corporations couldn’t survive without American talent and skill plus the US consumer and for that we would be well paid and rewarded. We also thought our religion (even if we didn’t go to church) or our faith (based on Judeo/Christian belief, was good and right, with righteous leaders, certainly not rife with perverts and pedophiles and disbelievers themselves. We believed our churches, corporations and government would tell us what to do and give right counsel in the end. We sure didn’t think we were out here on our own, fending for ourselves with no one but our families and friends to help.

The above should be enough to get you started on your own list of what we thought we had before, and when you finish your own list take a good look at it because no matter how hard we try, it isn’t going to work anymore, all those edifices are falling, tumbling, crumbling and we think it’s us, it isn’t, unless we’ve placed our power in one of those institutions and beliefs, if we have, we will be forced to take it back; to trust ourselves and neighbors, to find other processes to define success, because it is changing. The concept of a New World Order came before the Saturn/Pluto opposition, multi-nationals ruling the world came before Saturn/Pluto, and the idea of sovereign nations came before as well as the belief that on earth we actually own anything. We believed we could go to church and “teach religion” not what spirituality actually means to us personally or what religion really teaches. We are being forced to dig into what our governments mean and what are they doing and what do we want. Oh the digging, digging, the irritating task of doing the work because the yahoos we elected are liars, thieves and incompetent.

I have always loved the saying “let the dead bury the dead” I never knew why I liked it, maybe because I am a Scorpio and realize that only the dead can truly appreciate the dead or what it is to die. That which is behind us is dead. All those institutions as they have been functioning are dead, and those who continue to hang on to the way it all was, are dead too, they just don’t know it as yet. The only thing we have to salvage now is the best of what we believed we had and the belief everyone could have it as well, we can make that happen.

In the years I worked with the poor and homeless I could see that the flaws in the system hit them first and then it goes up the ladder. An example would be loss of jobs, money, drugs and alcohol problems in families. Through the years we saw the problems rise toward the middle class and then the upper class and the cracks in the foundation started showing everywhere, the cracks are beginning to widen and will encompass all.

It’s a new day what do we want it to look like?


There is a time for everything,
and a season for every activity under heaven:
a time to be born and a time to die,
a time to plant and a time to uproot,
a time to kill and a time to heal,
a time to tear down and a time to build,
a time to weep and a time to laugh,
a time to mourn and a time to dance,
a time to scatter stones and a time to gather them,
a time to embrace and a time to refrain,
a time to search and a time to give up,
a time to keep and a time to throw away,
a time to tear and a time to mend,
a time to be silent and a time to speak,
a time to love and a time to hate,
a time for war and a time for peace.
-- Ecclesiastes 3:1-8

                                                            Bizarro World





September 14th, 2007

The Fairy-Tale-Teller-in-Chief spoke to the nation last night. In his story, a dear friend was besieged by a wicked enemy and needed the continuing help of the White Knight American military (along with its posse of 35 eager amigos) to become free and strong and our best friend in the Middle East. Would that it were so.

Unfortunately, back here on Earth, the US finds itself in the midst of a civil war in a far-away country splintered into so many factions it is hard to keep them straight. Somewhere among them is a branch of al Qaeda, our true enemy, or at least a cousin a few times removed. Moreover, the central government of Iraq to which Bush so desperately clings is almost non-functional and certainly has little or no local support. The idea of staying until the Maliki government is strong enough to hold the country together is like trusting in a house of straw while the big, bad wolf is blowing hard.

At the core of this great tragedy are the many threads of pathology that are woven together in the fabric of the Oval Office these days. George Bush’s inability to see the truth beyond what he wants to see and his extraordinary grandiosity that makes the impossible seem achievable are perhaps the most obvious examples. This combination of a mental inflexibility unable to push beyond personal desire and the self-aggrandizing idea that Bush is chosen by God to smite evil from the world and spread freedom everywhere precludes any impartial observation or rational decision making. Instead, we get a commander-in-chief who so desperately wants to bring a bastion of democracy into the heart of the Arab Middle East and defeat the minions of the evil al Qaeda that he sees it happening despite any and all evidence to the contrary. To put it another way, he is so emotionally tied up with his supposedly divinely-inspired destiny, that failure or even compromise is too dangerous to his fragile self to even contemplate.

Needless to say, there are indications of these dangerous traits in Bush’s birth chart. The Pluto/Mercury/Ascendant conjunction in Leo suggests intense desire (Pluto) coloring perceptions (Mercury) of the world around him (Ascendant). In Leo, these traits become very rigid and very identified with the personal self. Mercury is the planet that describes how we think, and in Leo, the sign of its “fall”, it can indicate mental laziness and a tendency to be overly identified with one’s ideas and unable to be unbiased and impartial in determining the truth. In combination with Pluto’s obsessive tendencies, a self-absorbed thought can become a driven crusade, with no room for objective reasoning.

The second configuration that suggests trouble is the 12th house Sun (13Cancer47) square to both Neptune (5Libra56) and Jupiter (18Libra09). Moreover, Neptune is further strengthened by its tight semisquare to Venus. While the Sun in the 12th may strive to lose itself to a transcendent cause of some kind, it is also prone to be less connected to the more prosaic demands and concepts of the everyday world. In a hard aspect to Neptune, these traits become vastly amplified, and a person will repeatedly lose himself to some ungrounded hope, dream, ideology, altered drug-induced state, psychosis, or spiritual transcendence, only to eventually be rudely awakened by the painful facts on the ground. In Bush’s chart, the addition of the square between the Sun and Jupiter brings an arrogance and rashness that is usually uncommon in the Neptune/12th house combination.

At present, Bush’s progressed Moon is moving into a square with his natal Neptune through October. In addition, his progressed Ascendant has been conjunct natal Neptune for most of 2007, peaking in October. This rather robust activation of The Deluded One’s Neptune during the past year and especially intense over the next 6 weeks suggests that he will be increasingly convinced of the impossible and hopeful about the unlikely during a time when the planets suggest great instability and violence (Mars square the Sun, Mars/Sun/Pluto T square, and the Jupiter/Uranus square) in the next 4 weeks. Last night’s speech was a taste of this disconnectedness. Although many grumble that he will try to maintain the status quo and merely kick the can of his troubles down the road to the next president, that, at least, seems a better option than Commander Bush adding yet another layer of insanity to the current disaster as he sets his eager site on Iran.

                                       THE PROGRESSED SUN IN THE US CHART





THIS IS AN ARTICLE BY LYNN HAYES. VERY INTERESTING AND INFORMATIVE


Part I: 1945-1975

The progressed chart shows the evolution of the individual - although the natal chart, or birthchart, remains the same the progressed chart describes life changes that occur as we age and grow. The progressed Sun changes signs every 30 years, and the US Progressed Sun had been in Aquarius since April of 1975 following a stint in Capricorn. (Chart used is the US Sibley chart.)

The passage of the US Capricorn progressed Sun, from November 1945 through April 1975, beginning with the end of World War II and initiating a nationwide building period that expanded middle-class affluence throughout the country (unless you were African-American, but that's another story). The GI bill made housing affordable for more and more families, and communities of tract housing such as Levittown sprang up across the country, beginning the suburban sprawl that would ultimately increase our dependence on automobiles and foreign oil.

This building boom continued throughout the Capricorn period, resulting in the US producing most of the planet's steel, oil and automobiles. The British Prime Minister Edward Heath said that the US enjoyed "the greatest prosperity the world has ever known." As a result, there was an unprecedented degree of loyalty to the government (a Capricornian structure) that had presided over this prosperity.

All was not rosy, however; not all Americans shared in this abundance. The Capricorn period also brought about pressure from minorities desiring to share in the economic growth and the tragedy of the Vietnam war as the paternalism of the Capricorn influence drove the US to become the World Protector.

Just as we would expect with the progressed Sun in Capricorn - the sign of building, hard work, discipine and achievement; in Capricorn our nose goes directly to the grindstone and we seek symbols of our new status. But this period also saw the more difficult aspects of Capricorn: the burdens of growth, disappointment in the new system. In the mid to late 1950s, when the US progressed Sun opposed the Sun in the US chart, the seams of the new system were beginning to unravel as it became obvious that the achievements which some enjoyed were not available to all. This time marked the birth of the civil rights movement.

The Cold War was born under the influence of the Capricorn progressed Sun which resists inflammatory behavior and prefers instead to build monuments and defense structures of protection rather than act aggressively as a more fiery sign would do. Although this period marked several wars (most notably the Korean War and the Vietnam War), these wars were sold as wars of protection rather than aggression, and this period marked one of the biggest buildups of defense spending in American history.

Part II: The US Progressed Sun in Aquarius

The US progressed Sun left Capricorn for Aquarius in April of 1975. The Capricorn period in the US witnessed a huge post-war building boom and rise of social and economic status for many Americans, both Capricornian attributes. It also marked a more paternalistic relationship with the rest of the world as the US began to take on the role of world protector (Capricorn's ruler Saturn represents the dynamic of the father).

Usually when the progressed Sun moves from one sign to another there is a major shift since the adjoining signs are so different from each other in element and quality. This is less true of the shift from Capricorn to Aquarius, due to their mutual rulership by Saturn. In Aquarius the Saturnine duty and discipline takes place in the mental realm whereas Capricorn is a sign of action. Aquarius has an ancient ruler (Saturn) and a modern ruler (Uranus), and there is always a pull between these two influences. Uranus seeks to break apart the old structures that Saturn has built and create something new and this is the Aquarian challenge. In Aquarius the strong sense of responsibility that is Saturn's gift combines with a need for change, creating the famous Aquarian urge for social justice and equality.

As the US progressed Sun shifted into Aquarius, the last soldiers were airlifted out of Vietnam which marked the end of military involvement in that nation. The Watergate scandal had just ended with the conviction of four Nixon administration officials. As Jimmy Carter says, there was a malaise in the country as could be expected under a dual Saturn rulership.

The Uranus rulership is associated with technology, and the first computers were developed in the US when the P Sun shifted into Aquarius. The first supercomputer was designed in 1976, and both Microsoft and Apple had their beginnings in that year. And although the Uranus/Pluto conjunction in the mid-1960s had fanned the revolutionary flames of social justice, by the mid-1970s there was a growing nationwide acceptance of equal rights for women and minorities. 1975 was designated Year of the Woman, and Time Magazine chose American Women for their person of the year. Critic Elizabeth Janeway wrote: "The sky above us lifts, the light pours in. No maps exist for this enlarged world. We must make them as we explore." This last image is particularly Aquarian - a completely new dimension of life's experience.

Meanwhile, the bigoted individual in the form of Archie Bunker became a target for derision in the TV show "All in the Family" as cultural norms begin to shift to a larger culture of acceptance and

The rebelliousness inherent in social revolution created some casualties, however; divorce rates soared as individuals struggled to find themselves (an Aquarian ideal) in the hedonism of the 1970s. Hippie culture, originally a revolutionary act itself in the 1960s, became a marketable commodity as more and more Americans attempted to break out of the Capricorn box and live their own authentic life in accordance with the more Aquarian urge. That revolutionary fervor was reflected too in the rise of punk and heavy metal which loudly proclaimed the death of the status quo (more Aquarius).

In Hollywood technology and cultural transformation merged in the beginning of the Star Wars empire which hit the theaters in 1977. Aquarius urges us to reach beyond the limits of our ordinary life and experience a more multidimensional life, and Star Wars provided a vehicle for everyone to take that ride.

Social attitudes continue to ease throughout the 1980s and 1990s, with more and more acceptance of the rights of individuals of all types. Certainly there was a backlash against this growing tolerance with the rise of hate groups, but overall the need for "political correctness" grew in importance. Music was revolutionized by technology with the introduction of MTV and electronic music with radically new instruments and sounds. Later, in the 1990s, hip hop and rap music created another social revolution.

All of these trends continued to grow through the 1980s and 1990s, culminating at the end of the Aquarian period in 2004 when the progressed US Sun entered Pisces.

PART III: The Next 30 Years

The Sun of the US astrological chart progressed into Pisces on the exact day of the 2004 Presidential election. We saw in Part I and Part II how the progressed US Sun has brought major shifts in the attitudes and circumstances of the United States culture, and I expect this cycle to be no different.

Pisces is the last sign of the zodiac: it is the sign where we long to transcend the boundaries of ordinary reality and attain an experience of the beyond. For the devout this takes the form of a longing for god; for the atheist the transcendent experience may come through music. Some, such as Richard Dawkins, spend their whole lives fighting against the transcendent impulse within them. The darker expression of the Pisces impulse brings us into a state of confusion and delusion when reality becomes blurred and undefined. It is easier to look back and assign astrological significance than to predict the future, but let's see what we could see under the Pisces influence.

After the terrorist attacks of September 11, the US nation was united and strong in their resolve to battle the forces of darkness, but by the time the 2004 elections came about Americans were beginning to have doubts and that national resolve began to splinter. Just after the election Colin Powell resigned, the first chink in the Bush administration to fall. Pisces tends to obscure the truth, and suddenly the world appeared far less black and white.

The United States has become much more culturally diverse over the past 50 years, and under the Pisces influence racial identification will become much less defined and specific. We are already seeing this with the candidacy of Barack Obama, who is not white, not a black descendant of slaves - he defies categorization. There is a Muslim member of congress, and Latinos are gaining a foothold in the power and economic structures of the country. This trend towards a blurred national identity will continue under Pisces.

Pisces rules endings, and as the US entered its influence the Terry Schiavo case opened up a new debate on end-of-life issues. Sacrifice and redemption is associated with Pisces and Neptune, and controversies over birth and death will bring changes in the way our society looks at these transitions.

A true experience of the divine is what Pisces offers, and the movement out of dogmatic theology into a more authentic and transcendent experience will continue to be more and more important for Americans. Psychic experiences will become ever more accepted, as we are seeing even now in our major media. The television show "Medium" premiered in January of 2005, just after the US progressed Sun moved into Pisces, and was the first of many such shows that came afterwards. The darker side of Pisces could lead some into a well of confusion and deception, however, as the yearning for the divine can combine with the urge for self-sacrifice and atonement that we also find under Pisces and encourages some to leave their discrimination behind.

The sacrificial urge can also be expressed in a higher form through benevolent compassion and nonviolence as prescribed in the Buddhist religions, and we will likely to see a spread of these congregations throughout the US. Pisces bestows empathy and a desire to understand the plights of others which could lead to increased understanding between various social and religious groups. This growing empathy could lead to a greater sensitivity to environmental issues as well, and perhaps the urge for martyrdom and redemption will encourage the kind of conservation that can help preserve the earth's resources.

Music is associated with Pisces, and I would expect new forms of music to enter popular culture in the US. Fantasy films are likely to become even more popular for adults as well as children; eight out of the ten top grossing films in 2005 were fantasy films.

The next 30 years could mark a weakening of US global power. Pisces is not a sign of action or strength, and it can be difficult to achieve enough focus and energy under the Pisces influence to be able to effect real change. In addition, the US progressed Mars turned retrograde back in the summer of 2006 which many astrologers believe to be the end of US global domination. It will be difficult for Americans to unite behind a common purpose under the Pisces influence and we are likely to see a fragmentation in the government, particularly with transiting Pluto entering Capricorn and then squaring Uranus in Aries in 2010-2013.

The cycle of the zodiac marks a natural evolution and progression, and each transition is equally important and the next 30 years will bring a crucial phase for the evolution of the United States. Only time will tell exactly how that will manifest!!

Reap the Wind
Autumnal Ingress
Sunday, September 23, 2007
5:52 AM Washington DC

“The Suns movement into the four cardinal signs each year, mark important transitions in regards to seasonal changes and represent the four angles of the zodiac. The Suns entrance into these signs sends a “message”. A new moment of experience commences. This phenomenon is known as the Solar Ingress. Ingresses, in comparison to a nation’s natal chart, are often potent in their ability to foreshadow what a nation can expect to develop over the next three months.” Claudia Dikinis, Star Cats.


Harvest of times past evoke memories of family gatherings with friends and neighbors, football games and the smell of hot apple cider scenting the air redolent with decaying leaves and wood smoke. Halloween decorations of orange and black appear in our local stores, fall is here. We drive down the highway seeing row upon row of pumpkins along the coastal strand their orange color stark against the dry earth under a relentless sun. Scarecrows stand guard over freshly harvested fields. The time of reaping is upon us.


Harvest of times past evoke memories of family gatherings with friends and neighbors, football games and the smell of hot apple cider scenting the air redolent with decaying leaves and wood smoke. Halloween decorations of orange and black appear in our local stores, fall is here. We drive down the highway seeing row upon row of pumpkins along the coastal strand their orange color stark against the dry earth under a relentless sun. Scarecrows stand guard over freshly harvested fields. The time of reaping is upon us.


This Autumnal Ingress finds the Libra sun in a square with Pluto from the 4th House, we the People, a square from Mars in Gemini which is fueling anger in an opposition to Pluto. The People are angry, their frustration palpable. The air sizzles with animosity. Jupiter sitting on the IC, the 4th House cusp opposes the Mid-heaven. Jupiter amplifies the 4th House energies.


Uranus sits squarely on the 7th House cusp opposing the Ascendant and squaring the Mid-heaven. What have we harvested from our international relations? Are we reaping bountiful crops or have we sown discord, anger, war, and death as world leaders wag their finger at us?


Thus swirling in the autumn sky above our Nations capitol is a building political storm, dark clouds hang over the nation, crackling lightning fragments the sky as the winds begin to howl building now to Samhain. The feared masses, the great unwashed, the Moon at 14 Aquarius sandwiched between Chiron 10 Aquarius which recently lanced the fetid boil paining our national psyche and Neptune 19 Aquarius Rx in the 6th House of the military and the Betray Us report the smoke and mirrors shattering and the dust plumes spread across the surface of our country. The feared masses are stirring, Pluto has changed their cheers to jeers.


Saturn in Virgo is hiding in the 12th House semi-squares the Libra Sun and ratcheting tighter the noose encircling Executive. The Sun in the 1st is concerned with Self, our nations identity or more likely this Executives legacy. The Sun is besieged from all quarters, fire and air scent the winds with sulfur, while Uranus stirs the waters losing the tides.


The Moon, the people, is sextile Jupiter which then flows to sextile Mercury, who trines Mars…all the angry voices. We will not sit down and shut up.


In the US Chart this seasonal turning places the Autumn Ingress Sun conjunct the US Mid-heaven. Accompanying the Sun which is fleeing the 9th House is the Autumn Ingress Ascendant, North Node, Saturn and Venus. The wheels of Justice are turning, damnably slow. Venus is opposed by Neptune deceived or blinded by greed.


The AI Moon and Mid-heaven trine the US Saturn in the 10th house calling for Justice to be brought to bear upon the Executive. The AI Moon is in-conjunct the US Sun, like a pesky gnat, irritating, aggravating the Sun.


Jupiter upon the US Ascendant inflates the image of the US opposed by the AI Mid-heaven at 14 Gemini brings gossip, rumors and we can expect more salacious material coming out about our country’s leaders, Democratic and Repugblican alike.


There is much room for drama in the next three months, that’s no revelation to anyone. George and his gang of goons wave their flags in the winds, they represent what we are today. The mood in America is dark, it’s angry as we are bled to death financially, our treasures pissed away in the sand box to obtain what is not ours to own and that which is destroying the very world in which we exist. The next three months? More of the same.

Morgana, this paragraph takes me back to what was and pushes me forward to what I want to see again. You have described the best of fall, the most vivid of fall. We've been in such a dark period the last several years, so little joy. In the Bible there is a passage that states there is only one thing God will not forgive of a person, but it doesn't say what that one thing is. There have been sermons and firey preachers that have suggested it's taking the Lord's name in vain, or murder, or going against all the commandments or not a "believer." However I think the one unforgivable act is to destroy the spirit and soul of a person or group of people, that I think could not be forgiven and this administration has gone a long way in destroying the spirit and soul of this country. You have stated it perfectly

                                         BREAKING UP IS HARD TO DO





Never fear chaos for out of chaos a new and better order is born. (Voltaire)


There has been much conversation this last month as to the impact MoveOn.org is having on the Democratic Party. Their impact has been huge since their inception. MoveOn.org is progressive, partisan and liberal group, absolutely bending toward Democrats. Not much GOP there. Their “General Betray-us” where they used the term of the field troops in Iraq for General Petreaus in a very unflattering ad; the ad wasn’t as nasty as the discredited “Swift-Boat” group who hammered John Kerry, but it was a spit-ball shot at a General who allowed himself to be used as a political shill and created quite a stir.

MoveOn.org inception chart fits well with the Democratic Party, as does the DLC and the DNC and the DCCC, just as the RNC, Christian Coalition, Focus on the Family fits with the GOP chart. They all rise and fall together. The GOP chart and George Bush’s chart and the GOP chart all have the same Cancer Sun indicating we as a nation rise and fall with the GOP and this President, right now transiting Jupiter is inconjuncting those Suns, they have a few expanded problems. When the American people see ourselves clearly, we will have a new body politic. (groups or individuals don't band together unless they share a common point of interest and it's shown clearly in their astro signatures).

The most interesting aspect for the DNC, RNC, the chart of 1st Senate/House setting Nov. 17, 1800 at 9:00am in Washington, is the early degrees (up to 2 degrees) of Mutable signs in their charts, plus the Iraq War Chart and Saturn has just gone over those degrees, creating problems for the RNC, DNC and Congress. With the GOP Neptune sitting atop the Ascendant of the Iraq War chart at 14/15 Pisces you can be sure they have been part and parcel of the lies surrounding this war and when Saturn opposes that point you can be sure lots of those lies will be streaming out as Saturn opposes in the fall of 2008.

In spite of the fact that big business is turning away from the GOP http://www.madison.com/tct/news/index.php?ntid=249962, as well as the right wing Christians and pulling the rug out from under their party, and in spite of the wrangles between the Democrats and progressives, it will be the Iraq War that will bring both parties down and buckle Congress.

This administration keeps saying that “everything has changed since 9/11” and they are right. The Pluto/Saturn opposition on 9/11 promised there would be change and nothing would be the same. I don’t think either party or business realized that meant politics as usual or business as usual wasn’t going to go on either. Both parties as they express themselves today are in grave danger of being replaced by a third and perhaps fourth party by 2012. Congress itself is marching toward self-destruction, both parties, it is simply stunning how they are knocking each other out of the way to destruct first, my money however is on the GOP getting there first, hard to tell, the Dems are not far behind.

Our Universe is made up of fractal forms (irregular or fragmented geometric shape that can be subdivided in parts, each of which is (at least approximately) a reduced-size copy of the whole," Wikipedia) Those fractal forms have always been there but with new technology we can see them more clearly, but a world made up of patterns is so easily understood because the infinite intricacy of fractals cannot be explained by traditional measurements. These seemingly random fractals do come together to make a whole, even if a random whole, Cauliflower or Broccoli is a perfect example that can be seen. Fractals are deeply patterned objects, created though a simple organizing and when millions of these solutions are plotted, complex shapes appear. Nothing taken separately actually makes sense, but together they make up a complexity of form. The movements of the planets in the Universe are part of this complexity of form and energy, but looking for the “whole” as opposed to individual parts is a new way of thinking.

What “whole” are we looking at in the United States and what form are we moving toward because whatever we are today will not be tomorrow, but the forms of today and tomorrow are moving toward a picture, ever changing to be sure, but still a picture and astrology can dimly see the direction of that picture of yesterday, today, tomorrow and on into infinity. We as a human race are moving toward wholeness (or given that opportunity) as a human race and it is not easy, therefore we have chaos. Congress and the US political system (as well as around the world) in their present form have outlived their usefulness and we are trying to give birth to something new while having to deal with a dying system. It’s maddening.

Democrats are no less hawkish, no less greedy and no less truthful than the GOP as evidenced by their actions and votes, but who and what are less than hawkish, greedy and truthful? We have been in the process of trying to find that out and our political system as well as big business is in the process of trying to arrange their “fractals” in the same old way, but they cannot: their geometric patterns have been forever changed as have the peoples. I am waiting for them to throw in a depression, more war, perhaps martial law on their way to trying to get the patterns back the way they were. All the people need to do is sit tight.

There are protests against their governments in Iran, Switzerland, Norway, Burma, France and the list goes on, even in China the world is heating up in a troubling manner and today Turkey announced their intention of moving in on the Kurds and annexing part of Iraq, and warning the US not to issue a censure against Turkey calling it genocide in Armenia and Nancy Pelosi is in favor of doing that very thing.

Oh no, MoveOn.org is not destroying the Democrats nor is the Christian Coalition destroying the GOP, they are working on that by themselves as we all attempt to rearrange our “fractals.”

In the meantime Jupiter is in an exact, to the arc minute, square to Uranus. Let’s see how might that manifest?

How about the entire Middle East demanding the mercenaries leave their land, or the House and Senate giving GWB permission to make it a retroactive law that the people of the United States can be spied on, directly in opposition to the United States Constitution, Turkey going to war with the Kurds and the Supreme Court refusing to hear the torture cases. “Tum in bees.”

                                                       Echoes of Spring





As predicted in the 2007 Spring Equinox chart, Pakistan is now in a time of great turmoil likely to continue through mid-January 2008. The Uranus station is moving into an exact square with the Spring Equinox MC (14Sagittairus51) in the chart drawn for Islamabad (5:09 AM, 3/21/07). Natally, Uranus and the MC are in a very tight square (18’ of arc). This suggests great upset, unexpected events, and rebellion focused on the country’s leadership. The massive suicide bombing yesterday in Karachi, during which 134 people were killed and hundreds were injured, is a poignant example of Uranus/Midheaven action.

In addition, there are also indications of agitation and unexpected events in the Pakistani chart (8/15/47, 12 AM, Karachi). Here we find the same Uranus transit in quincunx to natal Venus (15Leo41), as well as transiting Pluto in quincunx to natal Moon (27Cancer06). This latter aspect which indicates the fear and agitation experienced by the people will peak on November 3, while both Uranus transits continue through mid January 2008. According to one source, the bombing occurred just past midnight on October 19, at which time 27 Cancer, the degree of the Pakistani Moon, was on the Ascendant.

Also predicted in the Spring Equinox chart is the massive accumulation of power by the president of Russia, Vladimir Putin, during the course of the past year. The tight Sun/Pluto square in the Equinox chart indicates power struggles for many rulers in the world, but when the chart is drawn for Moscow (3:09 AM, 3/21/07), we find Pluto exactly on the Ascendant, magnifying its potency in that nation. Pluto in this position indicates a highly manipulative wielding of power and an increase in control by the ruler (Sun/Pluto square). Not only has Putin managed to plan a smooth and unprecedented transition from president to prime minister so that he may retain control of the government, but he has successfully maneuvered Russia into an increasingly dominant role in world affairs and has recently announced that Russia is developing a new generation of nuclear weapons. Pluto and Jupiter will be crossing the Ascendant (28Sagittarius34) in the Moscow Spring Equinox chart during late November and the first half of December 2007. Watch for even more expansive and effective power grabs from Putin at that time.

Another Supermoon this week!


Even now the Moon is looking big and beautiful in anticipation of the upcoming Full Moon at perigee (closest to earth) which brings about a Supermoon (® Richard Nolle).

This upcoming lunation is not only big, it's a powerhouse of lunar aspects. The Full Moon takes place on October 26 at 0:52 am Eastern time and at 2 degrees Taurus (with the Sun in Scorpio). The Full Moon, when the Sun and Moon are in opposition, is a powerful time of light that bears the potential to open our consciousness. This Full Moon forms a Mystic Rectangle to the North and South Nodes of the Moon, representing our evolutionary direction from past (South) to future (North). We are in alignment now to achieve something very important in our personal destiny and destiny as humans, and the addition of Saturn in sextile to the Sun and trine the Moon helps to ground the process into physical form.

On a personal level this is a time to set your intention very clearly so that the universe can assist in manifestation. On a global level we are being realigned as a species as this Full Moon occurs virtually at the very minute that Pluto makes its conjunction to the Galactic Center). The conjunction of Pluto to the Galactic Center (center of our Milky Way galaxy) is not one big event that we will easily identify, but a core shift in the direction of the planet. (For more information on this event and a historical analysis see my earlier article). The timing of this galactic event coinciding with the Full Moon is a powerful symbol that further emphasizes the importance of this full moon.

                                                     Top Five Astro-Events for November




 
1. Uranus turns direct on the 24th while quincunx the U.S. Saturn. This influential dynamic is in effect all month, and was a contributing factor to the California wildfires. American institutions and governing structures (Saturn) are being challenged by unexpected events and crises (Uranus). The 22nd to 24th is an exceptionally volatile phase, and includes substantial risk in the financial markets.
 
2. The New Moon on November 9 occurs as gung-ho Jupiter opposes the U.S. Mars. This adventurous complex suggests that major new foreign policy actions are beginning, especially regarding the potential use of American armed forces. Keep an eye on Turkey and Iran, and expect over-confident moves from foreign powers that generate American reactions.
 
3. Mars turns retrograde on November 15, and stays in Cancer through the end of 2007, ensuring that uncomfortable family dynamics will be a top concern for many people, especially through the holiday season. Mars is stationary while near the U.S. Sun and opposite Vesta, perhaps indicating a dramatic turn in military affairs due to new intelligence.
 
4. Venus squares Mars on November 19. While ordinarily this might be a non-event, the transiting Sun is also connecting to these two love planets from the 16th through 20th, making this a dynamic interval for personal relationships. Watch for romantic triangles, how friendships interact with committed relationships, and bouts of jealousy, possessiveness and suspicion.
 
5. The progressed U.S. Sun trine Venus becomes exact on the 24th. This influence has been building over the past six months, and describes the rising power of women (Venus) in leadership roles (Sun). Hillary Clinton has been favored since her Scorpio Sun creates a precise Grand Trine with this combination.

Mars station:

Mars will turn retrograde on November 15, 2007, at 12Cancer27, 52 minutes short of the US Sun (13Cancer19). In the meantime, it is slowing down to a crawl and will be sesquiquadrate the US Moon (27Aquarius12) from November 2 through November 21. Thus, it comes close to but does not fully impact the president and the goals of the country (the Sun), but it remains an irritant to the people of the United States (the Moon) for several weeks. Although a sesquiquadrate is a minor aspect, the station, which falls within 15 minutes of arc, intensifies its impact greatly.

In the US chart (when drawn for 5:13 PM), the Moon is in the 3rd house and rules the 8th house, as well as ruling the 4 planets in Cancer including the Sun. The 3rd house signifies the media, transportation, and communication. The 8th house signifies investments, high finance, and also death. This prolonged Mars station in a minor hard aspect to the US Moon suggests considerable irritation and perhaps anger in some part of the US population, possibly spurred on by a very active media, over issues relating to investment or casualties or possibly concerning the media or communication industry itself. It also may suggest volatility in the world of high finance and a resulting anger over this issue. In any event, there is likely to be some story during the first three weeks of November that stirs up the national consciousness considerably. Unlike the Saturn transit opposite the US Moon in early August that brought the grief associated with first the Minnesota bridge collapse and then the Utah mining disaster, the emotion associated with this transit to the US Moon is more likely to be anger, irritability, and impatience (Mars). Accidents and disruptions are possible, but with little attendant sorrow. This same Mars station will sit on the first house Pluto in the Turkish chart suggesting intensified turmoil and power struggles there including in the current battle with the PKK.





Executive Follies:

As disconnected as our Fruitcake-in-Chief has been at times during the past 6 years, his recent behavior has scaled new heights in lunacy. Raving about Iran’s desire to nuke Europe, its threat to take over the world, and the imminent likelihood of its starting World War lll, clearly crosses the border into an hysterical form of paranoia. Much of this can be attributed to Bush’s proclivity toward experiencing the world as forever in the midst of a dangerous power struggle for survival – with the Communists (back in the day), with Saddam, with the terrorists, with Iran, or even with Satan – as a manifestation of his natal Pluto tightly in conjunction with the Ascendant and Mercury. The two sides of this configuration, when operating at its most extreme, are intense fear and megalomania, the one feeding into the need for the other to feel safe. Unfortunately, the delusional tendency has been significantly heightened of late with progressed Moon square natal Neptune and solar arc Ascendant conjunct natal Neptune, both of which have stimulated the planet of self-deception, confusion, and illusion.

Although these Neptune aspects will be waning as we move further into November 2007, the ongoing progressed Mars conjunction to Bush’s natal Jupiter will continue to intensify through November 2008. It is this configuration which adds to Bush’s already aggressive and reckless nature, completely obliterating any hope of him considering himself a lame duck and acting accordingly. In recent days, it has been reported that Bush will now just circumvent Congress when he feels like it by using executive orders. In addition, he has taken an increasingly hostile tone towards the Democrats. His World War lll comment, which shocked and upset the leaders of many nations, as well those of us here at home, came when transiting Jupiter was sextile to his progressed Mars/natal Jupiter conjunction (18Libra08). What further folly may we expect when Uranus makes its final pass quincunx to this aspect in February 2008 or when transiting Jupiter makes its square to this point three times in 2008, beginning in March, coming , again in late June and early July, and crossing for the final time in early November 2008? Such rash aggression is very dangerous in the hands of one whose tendency is to magnify threats and then need to stamp them out.
