'Accelerating Time'--Terence McKenna (audio-video) w 2012's Cap/Aries Vibes
2011-12-26 23:54:00
Terence McKenna on 2012 which Begins with Cap/Aries Energiesby Jude CowellHere on SO'W, it's been previously noted that years ago Terence McKenna predicted a "transcendent object" that would enthrall and capture our attention in the New Millennium. Perhaps we may agree that SmartPhone s, iPads, and other tech gadgets perfectly fulfill McKenna's prophecy especially when you consider how many of us keep our faces stuck to various touch screen displays even while walking around (or driving--now stop that! No one is that much of a multi-tasker so please get wise to your bad self.)Since Mr. McKenna--author, lecturer, teacher, and researcher into human consciousness including psychedelia--was correct in his futuristic prediction, I'm posting an audio presentation of him speaking that is perhaps an appropriate vehicle to putter us into Year 2012 which begins on Sunday morning January 1, 2012 at 12:00:01 am est with Sun in Capricorn, Moon in Aries.2012: Burning Faith v Strong SkepticismS...

GOP kittens tangled in own yarn? Their YOD says, Yes!
2011-12-22 16:46:00
Republican Kittens and Jupiter the Thespian 12.22.11by Jude CowellSometimes when people try to be 'too clever by half' they end up out-doing themselves instead of the people they work so hard to best. At least, my hope is that this is the case with the current Political Theater now showing on a Capitol Hill whose hijinks threaten to mess with Christmas 2011 for millions of disappointed Americans.So far, no wrapping is needed for we can clearly see that the American people's gift from the GOP as we enter 2012 is to be held hostage to ideological zealotry and an oath taken to what they consider a higher authority than the American people: Grover Norquist, famous for his no-tax-no-government psychosis of futurist utopianism.Click 'Grover Norquist' to view his natal horoscope where you can see the elusive, mask-wearing Sun/Neptune conjunction which is now being restricted by transiting Saturn in late Libra and forming a midpoint picture--n Sun/Neptune = tr Saturn: having the discip...

Alex Jones (video 12.21.11) w North Korea's Moon now eclipsed
2011-12-21 16:18:00
First let me express sincere condolences to the good people of North Korea who are in mourning for the loss on December 17, 2011 of Kim Jong Il, their 'Dear Leader'.He was a complex man and the people's sense of loss must be overwhelming even for those whose state-imposed displays of bereavement are acts of self-preservation and habit more than of deep grief for one difficult man. The North Korean people's already perilous conditions and the crossroads which the passing of the Communist-monarchical mantle presents them brings tremendous collective anxieties; plus, the suddenness of such a tragic event adds much intensity to their emotional shock as The Masses face life without the familiar father figure they've come to know (only too well, as some might say.)2011 North Korea: a People Eclipsed by a 'Peculiar Turn of Events'A momentous event was promised for the North Korean people by the 'peculiar turn of events' November 25, 2011 Solar Eclipse @ 2Sag37 which 'eclipsed' N...

US Iraq withdrawal a "smokescreen"-- John Pilger (video) w Mars/Neptune smo
2011-12-20 16:26:00
(GRTV) ? Announcing the Iraq war was ended, Barack Obama told US troops on 14 December 2011, ?The United States military is the finest fighting force in the history of the world.?What he didn?t say is that since 1945 the US military has been directly responsible for the deaths of over 10 million people and that America has in that time overthrown 50 governments, including democracies, and intervened in at least 30 more.John Pilger has something to say about that: Mr. Pilger makes very good points as always but to my mind, it isn't just America doing these things according to her own plans, it's globalists directing her as she acts as their military arm on the world stage for their ultimate goal of world domination.Then there's the question of Iraq coming more under foreign domination with Iran leading the bunch. Bush screwed up every business he ran before he played president, so it's a given that he'd screw up Iraq and turn the nation into a Christmas gift for Iran.Well, if yo...

12.19.11 Adrian Lamo discusses Bradley Manning (video)

Stars Over Washington December 19, 2011Below is a video gleaned from today's Democracy Now! with Amy Goodman interviewing the fellow who blew the whistle on whistle blower Bradley Manning who apparently leaked US helicopter draconianism and mayhem to Julian Assange's organization, WikiLeaks. Adrian Lamo discusses topics that concern Pvt. Manning and Manning's tortuous treatment by a US government of bureaucrats and technocrats who don't appreciate having the ugly underbelly of war suddenly revealed in such stark relief to an agog public already uncertain that America has any legal right to invade and occupy foreign lands while indiscriminately raining death and destruction down upon the heads of innocent people...and then lying about it.Why, anyone with a brain that isn't reptilian knows that karma (by which I refer to reaping what was sown) will be just as, or more, grievous when it comes round for payment due to the massive amounts of misery America has dealt the world by way...

12.19.11 House votes @ 6:30 pm as Orwell Rolls Over
2011-12-19 16:48:00
Tonight at 6:30 pm est, when recorded voting begins in the House , America's natal Mercury Rx '25Can' ("A Man Wrapped in an Invisible Mantle of Power") rises which shivers me timbers and chills my bones. It's an Hour of Mercury 6Sag21 in 5th H of risk-taking with Mercury as the planet of votes, messages, and negotiations.Our national Mercury rising indicates a re-vote since it's retrograde natally.The environmental sweepstakes known as the Keystone 'XL' (Xtra Large) Pipeline so full of contaminated aquifer possibilities for a thirsty American public is tucked inside last I heard so we may wish to consider briefly the horoscope for tonight's session. The oil refined from this monstrosity won't be for the US but for overseas sales.

Dec 18, 2011: Brief Astro-Notes on US Iraq War Withdrawalby Jude CowellHow Maliki and Iran Outsmarted US Troop Withdrawal peeks underneath our military tent but with little face-saving as we clear out as per Iran's instructions, some are saying.As the last of US troops arrived in Kuwait this morning "around daybreak" after a necessarily secretive journey under cover of night, transit Saturn 27Lib17 was in 10th house (World Stage) and heading toward local Midheaven (MC 10Lib22) but America's natal Saturn 14Lib48 arrived at MC first.Will the US troop withdrawal be seen by the world as a "fall from grace", the most karmic of implications for any 10th H Saturn? (ex: Richard Nixon was born with Saturn in 10th H.) As part of the process, I should imagine, especially after the interminable 8-year reign of Wussy Bush and Shotgun Cheney with their imperilist dreams of global conquest.(For like most bullies, they don't go to much physical effort themselves, y'know, since they can bribe, i...

'Your Moment of Zen': End of Iraq War flag ceremony (Jon Stewart video)
2011-12-16 21:55:00
So many mixed feelings sweep over me as I watch the flag ceremony. You know? Never wanted either war, Afghanistan or Iraq , knew they'd be Vietnam-esque and they are of the quagmire variety of collective experiences...brutal and soul-shattering.And so our national soul is soiled once again and the stains are deep. 'Old men start wars for young men to fight' is as true a maxim today as it was whenever someone first strung the words together and said, Hmmph!Happily, it is with this post that I again have a chance to say, Welcome Home, US Soldiers! I'm very glad you've come ashore and I wish you all safe passages to calmer waters! Bless you and your families, JudeNow that things are shifting like the desert sands of Iraq, it is my personal opinion that George Bush, Dick Cheney, and other crony war profiteers of a globalist persuasion owe the American people a very large amount of money for starting two wars and to somewhat make amends for their vast mismanagement of our public fund...

Big Brother loves America's sneaky Mercury/Pluto duo

US Mercury/Pluto , Eyes in the Sky, & Codes of Thomas Jeffersonby Jude CowellThese days it's easy to find mentions of America's dynamic natal Mercury/Pluto opposition (July 4, 1776) wherever you go (iPhone/iPad tracking; GPS) or whatever you read (emails/online articles/feeds) so I'm passing on to you a link to Wendy McElroy's article which strikes just such a Big Brother , Mercury/Pluto tone so familiar to life in America. Thomas Jefferson: Crypto-Rebel? covers current conditions along with a brief consideration of America's original postal service and the government's reading of colonial mail.Well, the 'Seer of Monticello'--Thomas Jefferson--is known, among other titles, as the Father of American Cryptography thanks to his lifelong interest in codes and ciphers. In fact, a Rosicrucian decoder was found amongst his effects after his demise--there was a Rosicrucian colony around Philadelphia in those days.

'Revolution' Anonymous (video) w Uranus in US 4th house

America at Home: Utopians, Temples, and Anonymousby Jude Cowell Not only did Uranus reach the Aries Point of World Manifestation, first in June 2010, and repeating in 2011, but the Aries Point itself (00Ari00) conjoins a little something astrologers call the 4th house of America's natal chart (if you use the Sibly version--US birth data below.)As natal horoscopes of nations go, the 4th H describes much about the nation itself, its Roots and cell memory of antecedents such as How we began--and also How we will end. It describes our homeland. The cusp (beginning) of the 4th H is the IC (Immum Coeli) which symbolically represents Midnight. The IC is the most hidden point in any chart, hints at End of Life Conditions, and is called The Drain, if you want to face the truth of it.(You probably practice more Natal Astrology than I do and here I am telling you! How crazy is that?)Our 4th Home on the Range...Mama, Pass the Apple Pie a la ModeAs the natural house of the Moon (Cancer; the wom...

Paul Singer's natal Sun = Pluto/Chiron (plutocracy)
2011-12-13 15:05:00
An Astro-Peek at Paul Singer: Monarchs, Butlers, and Politicsby Jude CowellOver at The Vile Pluto crat (great title!) GOP Hitman Billionaire Paul Singer Attacks Middle Class and it's been found that Paul Singer, major Republican Party donor and Friend of Mitt (and George W. and the Vulcan war profiteers), has natal Sun in very late Leo and Moon in Airy Libra.The GOP sugar daddy, once a happy passenger on the Swift Boat Veterans for Truth, was born August 22, 1944 in New York (EWT), as noted in his rather sparse Wiki bio, and the only aspect to natal Sun is an applying conjunction to Jupiter @ 6Vir (an out-of-sign conjunction), which gives an enlarged ego and makes him a natural salesman with broadened, perhaps overly enthusiastic views.Of course, Jupiter in Mercury-ruled Virgo is considerably less showy in the ego department than if Jupiter were still in Leo with the Sun--in its own royal sign.Now in Mundane Astrology, I tend to use Jupiter as significator for the GOP ('Grand' and...

Occupiers a 'Domestic Terrorist Threat' ? (Sun Sag/Moon Sco)
2011-12-12 18:18:00
Well, you had to wonder how long it would take for the peaceful demonstrators of the Occupy Wall Street movement to be categorized along with al Qaeda as a domestic terrorist threat by the US government.And here's Senator Carl Levin making it plain that it was the White House that requested indefinite detention of US CITIZENS without trial: As British jurist Lord Devlin famously intoned, "Trial by jury is the lamp that shows that freedom lives."Well, it should be. So given recent events in Washington DC, perhaps it's cosmic synchronicity that the November 25, 2011 Solar Eclipse ('a peculiar turn of events') @ 2Sag37 precisely eclipsed Lord Devlin's natal Sun just as power elite usurpers are eclipsing everything America has stood for in the world.Yes, America as the world's beacon of freedom has been purposefully blighted by Washington DC crooks and usurpers and now they're perverting US law to say that we're the criminals!~:~Judge and lawyer Lord Patrick Devlin was born Nove...

12.10.11: One year since Sen. Sanders' filibuster as Middle Class melts awa

Senator Sanders, Stray Birds, and Republican Clownsby Jude CowellWith certain entities and their agents within our government working hard to collapse America (like a phoenix arising from the ashes of their one-world-government Utopian dream of chaos leading to ultimate control by an unelected few), here is an ice sculpture from a hot June 18, 2011 day in NYC which perfectly illustrates what Senator Bernie Sanders of Vermont said during his filibuster on Capitol Hill, a place where you'd think the American people could expect their grievances to be addressed on a regular basis and their needs and issues to be served.But no.Instead, we get performances from the GOP Theater of The Absurd. And all their time-wasting, special-interest promoting and protecting gambits are played in full costume upon our dime and against the best interests of the majority. Their contempt for we-the-people knows no bounds and neither does their greed for more more more money and power, as the Senator corr...

Social networks a total Spy Grid (video) and US Mercury/Pluto

Sometimes it's difficult to ignore America's natal Mercury/Pluto opposition in modern times when you consider the great technological strides made toward total surveillance by way of Smartphones and social networking sites such as FaceBook, Twitter, and Google+.That iPhone or Blackberry you depend on is your willing acquiescence to having everything you do, choose, read, hear, purchase, travel to, or think fully known by Big Brother who keeps tabs in order to predict your--and thus, 'his'--next move.

John Corzine's YOD: Pluto/NN = Sun = Mars
2011-12-08 16:29:00
John Corzine resigned from MF Global on November 4, 2011 after the company filed for bankruptcy and Democrat Corzine's testimony on Capitol Hill today probably won't clue anyone in on where all the money went, as this Big Player CEO admits to not knowing much about his business.This will be Mr. Corzine's first public testimony since the MF Global collapse over which he presided.Astrologically speaking, crisis is shown in his natal horoscope through a YOD pattern (aka, a 'Finger of God' with potential for: a turning point; crossroads; special task; spiritual opportunity) which involves very dynamic planetary energies of power (Pluto ) along with the North Node of the Moon (NN) indicating contact with the public and with groups.Born January 1, 1947 near Taylorville, Illinois, Mr. Corzine's natal Sun conjoins energetic Mars , planet of action and desire.

Don't be surprised but this article leaves me about as speechless as can be. Tell me what you think, for Copenhagen is waiting for Barack Obama's magic wand on Friday:One of the Rothschild offspring laments the difficulty of establishing global governance. The December 2009 Summit in Copenhagen is meant to be a goosestep in the direction of fascist world domination bwo 'climate change' which was established years ago in a directive from the UN.You know, it isn't new for environmentalism to be used for taking over governments such as when Hitler used it to help establish the Third Reich.All of this reminds me of a dream I had after first hearing a few years ago that polar ice caps and glaciers are quickly melting - that a satellite with lasers was melting them from space!

Insolvent Social Security and America's Saturn/Neptune
2009-12-15 16:57:00
Gary North's article on the insolvency of the US Social Security *System and Medicare is an eye opener well described astrologically by the recent transit of clear-eyed Saturn to US natal Neptune in Virgo, sign of Work and The Worker.But I mentioned the transit and more Saturn/Neptune stuff in my previous post - things like deception and corruption (Neptune) in government (Saturn) - read Mr. North's article for a laundry list of deceptions concerning SS, Medicare, and the political can-kicking they've long duped us with. He's talking about 'Social' (Neptune) 'Security' (Saturn)! You know the US natal chart, Sibly version with '13Sag' rising, has Neptune 22Vir25 in 9th house and Saturn 14Lib48 in 10th house and their midpoint degree is 3Lib37; Mc 00Lib53.

Matt Taibbi on Obama's Big Sellout to Wall Street

In a Dec 9, 2009 Rolling Stone article, Matt Taibbi details Obama's big sellout to Wall Street .One had to figure we were being plunged deeper into doo-doo soup when newly minted president, Barack Obama, quickly surrounded himself with Clintonites of a lofty (if self-promotional) variety. Why, he simply filled his cabinet with spawn-of-robber-baron curios who bed down near their Wall Street troughs!Exalted professors can rob you blind as well as street fighters like Bush, Cheney, and Rove can, y'know.And as typed previously (ad nauseum for me, too) Jan 20, 2009's Inaugural in DC was but another 'peaceful' baton-passing of presidential imperatives which are agreed to beforehand by the prospective White House mouthpiece, aka presidential shill for the new world order.No, it never leaves me: The sense that America's natal degree of moneybags Jupiter (the archetypal professor, lawyer, banker, actor, and seeker) is @ '6 Cancer' from July 4, 1776 = "Gamebirds Feathering Their Nests...

Ds call Rs' bluff on joining Public Option - video

Text link to President Obama's war escalation speech of 12.1.09; US progr'd
