Winter Solstice 2009 - Washington, DC
2009-12-03 16:33:00
Chart shown: Winter Solstice Dec 21, 2009 @ 12:46:35 pm est: Sun 00Cap00:00 in 9th house conjunct Pluto 2Cap56; Hour of Mercury 19Cap51 conj NN 21Cap11 in 10th house; ASC 16Ari39 with asteroid *Minerva rising 16:14; chart-ruler Mars 19Leo41 Rx in 5th house; Mars applies to semi-square (0A30) Saturn 4Lib11 in 6th house, and sesqui-square Pluto (1A45); Mc (The Goal) @ 9Cap13 with '10Cap' = "An Albatross Feeding from the Hand of a Sailor." Or the hand of a US Marine.

Bush deliberately let bin Laden escape to justify war - video
2009-12-02 00:01:00
Just as I always thought, as did many other Americans in Dec 2001 and since: Bush -Cheney deliberately allowed Osama bin Laden to escape in order to justify the neocons' illegal invasion of Iraq and accomplish their long-desired overthrow of Saddam Hussein and his statue in Baghdad.You know the lack of Bush's respect for US soldiers has been demonstrated through the years by many things: lying to take the US into illegal wars, lack of equipment to keep them safer while in battle, shabby medical care once they return home (if they return at all), re-deploying soldiers who deserve a break, 'privatizing' the war, leaving rank and file to answer for Abu Ghraib abuses, Blackwater gangsters - the list is endless. Now someone speaks out to say that our soldiers were pulled back from capturing the very reason - bin Laden - the Pentagon invaded Afghanistan in the first place so more of our troops could risk and give their lives for a sham cause that makes the rich richer.And this treason ...

The only applying aspect made by Venus is a trine to Chiron 20Ari53 in 12th house, conjunct warrior Mars 16Ari10. There are two separating (waning) aspects to Venus: sextile Uranus 19Lib07 in 6th house (0S52), and a trine to Mars (3S49) so Venus trined Mars then took her considerable influence into a trine with Chiron.ASC 8Tau45; Mc 24Cap17 (Aspirations and Goals) which will be dearly affected by the Solar Eclipse of Jan 15, 2010 @ 25Cap01 in the 12 North Series: 'opportunities to accept greater responsibilities come suddenly; new commitments as a result of others being unable to carry on; events are difficult but outcomes for self-esteem and harmony are good' (paraphrasing Brady's Predictive Astrology.)"Harmony"?

The Kudlow Report has Rep. Ron Paul 'debating' a bow tie concerning the Fed's secretive ways and lack of transparency, and how you can't run an economy based on fiat money.And the bankrupting of America continues. But I do hope Rep. Paul's bill is passed since our nation is screwed anyway - we may as well know the details of the Fed's coup of our government by their financial crime syndicate and the treachery and treason it took to bring America down.Ripples issuing from 9/11/01...9/11's Moon @ '28Gemini' = BANKRUPTCY.

Horoscope of the White House Nov 1, 1800
2009-11-30 06:44:00
On Saturday, Nov 1, 1800, founding father John Adams became the first US president to take up residence in the White House and, writing to his wife Abigail the next day, he included this prayer:"I pray Heaven to bestow the best of blessings on this House, and all that shall hereafter inhabit it. May none but honest and wise men ever rule under this roof."Yes, there's much to be said astrologically for using the Nov 1, 1800 date as the White House 's natal chart as emphasized by a US president taking 'first possession' of the national Masonic-style building and proceeding to rule our nation from it for a while.Here you see a map of the heavens for Nov 1, 1800 @ noon LMT, set for the White House, Washington, DC, with critical degrees upon the ASC/DESC axis: 20Cap07 rising which gives a 7th house Saturn (planet of control, authority, restrictions, delays, law, politics, business, and Time-keeping) as ruler of the chart (bwo mystical mer-goat, Capricorn.)

Jupiter/Neptune, inflationary spending, and Larry Summers
2009-11-27 00:36:00
Have you run across Mike Whitney's article Soaring Unemployment and Double-Dip Recession? Blame NWO Larry yet? It refers to President Obama 's chief economic advisor, Lawrence Summers, a smart fellow who is opposed to extension of unemployment benefits because he thinks increasing hardship will drive wages down even more than they already are, and will bust unions more completely in the process - a win-win for the power elite.Mr. Whitney asserts that Summers is "an industry rep whose primary task is the smooth transfer of public wealth to corporate plutocrats" and if you've ever read this blog before, you know that infuriates blogging gnats such as myself, a common-gooder.Actually, the article contains several references to the inflationary spending of Jupiter/Neptune whose third and final 2009 Great Conjunction takes place on Dec 21, 2009 - just in time for Christmas shopping, and conjunct US natal Moon, the people.Look for "liquidity trap," rising asset prices" and other high-in...

On Thankgiving Day Mary Had a Little Lamb
2009-11-25 17:17:00
Sarah Josepha Hale, the influential magazine editor who wrote many articles on behalf of creating a national holiday in honor of the pilgrims' day of thanks, fasting, and prayer, wrote the nursery rhyme, Mary Had a Little Lamb .On my first day of Band class in 3rd grade I was given a recorder and told to learn to play, Mary Had a Little Lamb. I learned it quickly enough but was too shy to play it in front of classmates, so that was my last Band lesson. Guitar, piano, organ, and autoharp were much more my speed as there was no spit involved.Another link between little me and the song (stop me if you've heard this before) is that the evening I was born, a personal name asteroid arose a few minutes after I entered the Earth space/time flux, asteroid Judith. The Sabian Symbol of its nodal degree is:"Mary and Her White Lamb." My mother's name is Mary, I'm continually grateful, and I love cranberries.Am I angling here for an invitation to your Thanksgiving Day feast? Are you serving tu...

Sibel Edmonds, SSP, CIA narco cover-up, and a State Dinner
2009-11-24 16:41:00
Sibel Edmonds is writing on the State Secrets Privilege and the patootie-covering way it's being used in the Richard Horn case concerning the CIA and yet another narco scandal.As you've noticed, this president is acting just like the one before did - and of course, a bi-partisan Congress is in on it, too. Oh look! There's AQ Khan peeking from behind his house-arrest curtain!Read Sibel - she's got the goods on the varmints of Washington. Inauguration 2009 was a ritual baton-passing, as stated here before.Then there's tonight's white-tie State Dinner being hosted for India's leader with an out-of-bounds Mercury @ '14Sag'..."The Pyramids and the Sphinx." Perhaps with Mercury debilitated in Sagittarius and OOBs, someone will say something unusually enlightening.

The Jan 15, 2010 Solar Eclipse @ 25Cap01 in the 12 North Series is now on the radar and will occur quicker than a puppy can chew your left shoe.Click the link to read my previous notes on this Eclipse which Celeste Teal, in her book Eclipses, gives as focusing on national affairs bwo Capricorn, sign of business, politics, and law.Will there be a royal wedding under the influence of this Eclipse? Perhaps. Ms. Teal predicts a ceremony of some sort in the US and says that people will be 'well-disposed toward the government' - now that would be a refreshing change!With Jan 2010's manifestaion of 12N falling in 3rd house of the chart set for Washington, DC (2:11:12 am est), communications, neighborhoods, and siblings are somehow affected. Excitable opinions and increasing publications (more?!) will be featured on the front burner.

Heinlein on censorship by government
2009-11-23 15:44:00
?When any government, or any church for that matter, undertakes to say to its subjects, ?This you may not read, this you must not see, this you are forbidden to know,? the end result is tyranny and oppression, no matter how holy the motives. Mighty little force is needed to control a man whose mind has been hoodwinked; contrariwise, no amount of force can control a free man, a man whose mind is free. No, not the rack, not fission bombs, not anything?you can?t conquer a free man; the most you can do is kill him.?Robert A. Heinlein (If This Goes On 1940)~:~Work with me, people, I'm thinking of the threat to Net Neutrality with this quote. Definitely I'll say that Stranger in a Strange Land is my favorite of Heinlein's novels. You?~:~Update: Mystery of the Sleepwalking Turkey has returned as a Thanksgiving cautionary tale!

Georgia congressman says Wilson outburst planned

Autumn Equinox 2009: two new sunpots
2009-09-22 22:56:00
Space Weather News for Sept 22, 2009NEW SUNSPOTS: In a year when the sun has been utterly blank 80% of the time, the sudden emergence of two large sunspots in a single day is a noteworthy event. Today is such a day. NASA satellites and amateur astronomers are monitoring a pair of growing sunspots, both apparently members of long-overdue Solar Cycle 24. The emergence of these active regions is not enough to end the deepest solar minimum in nearly a hundred years, but they do represent a significant uptick in solar activity. Check SpaceWeather.com for images and updates. SEPT EQUINOX: Today, Sept 22 at 2118 UT (5:18 pm EDT), the sun crosses the celestial equator. This event marks the beginning of autumn in the northern hemisphere and spring in the southern hemisphere. It's also the beginning of aurora season around the poles.

Update 9.21.09 6:10 pm edt: found an article which relates to my earlier entry below:The Economy Is A Lie, Too By Paul Craig RobertsAmericans cannot get any truth out of their government about anything, the economy included. Americans are being driven into the ground economically,with one million school children now homeless, while Federal Reserve chairman Ben Bernanke announces the recession is over. My original post begins here:Economic Duplicity: Recession and Record Profits notes an interview on CBS' 60 Minutes broadcast on December 14, 2008, with investment fund manager, Whitney Tilson, which I viewed myself, and you may have seen it, too. In the interview, Mr. Tilson predicted that the 2007/08 subprime collapse was the halfway mark of the real estate bubble. This is the sort of collapse you get when Jupiter 's expansion and money connections combine with watery Neptune 's merging and deceptive tendencies for a Great Conjunction of bubble-esque proportions.

Do you know which signs that relationship pertains to? Actually, I can tell you from experience that it's rather nice to be born with the WHAT? (ASC) of your chart being influenced by the same planetary ruler as the WHY? (MC)! The polarity for both axes - ASC/DESC and MC/IC - is the Mercury/Jupiter combo, as long as you, like me, don't use outer planets as sign rulers. But if you favor using Neptune as sign ruler, then go right ahead. Personally I tend to think of the 3 transpersonal planets as higher vibrations or octaves aiding and in...

It's been a year since Lehman Brotheres failed, as you know the biggest bankruptcy in US history, so I'm looking at last year's Sun-Moon blend to gain a smidge of insight, and also at today's blend as the President heads to Wall Street to ask the leopard to change his spots and cease taking such high risks that our economy falters.With 2009 being a year of a Great Conjunction of the speculator-inflationary pair, Jupiter and Neptune, I wish him luck with that. After all, the New York Stock Exchange was formed under the optimistic rays of a Jupiter/Neptune conjunction in Airy Libra with this year's conjunction/s in Airy Aquarius.On Sept 14, 2008, the Sun was, of course, in Virgo, but where was the Moon?
