TAURUS
April 19—May 20

 

A low-level Taurus is completely focused on the material plane and they want what they want when they want it.  They are very good at accumulating and managing possessions, they adore luxury, and they’re very sensual.  They have trouble connecting with the Spirit because they are so fixated on the physical level.  They’re excellent at making money, stick to a project until Hell freezes over, and have a green thumb.  Taurus is stubborn, whether they are high or low level, and don’t change easily.  They are the most fixed and possessive of all the signs.  A low-level Taurus can repress his or her anger until it erupts and does great damage like Hitler, or Jim Jones, or Pol Pot, Idi Amin, or Saddam Hussein.

 High-level Taurus’ know how to connect with the Spirit in a practical, grounded manner.  They are wonderful in nature and often find the Holy located in it.  High-level Taurus’ are loyal to their friends and will stick with them past Hell freezing over.  A High Level Taurus has learned to control her or his desires, not repress them but put their physical drives into perspective.  The High Level Taurus is very creative.  The women and men are comely and appealing.  According to Alan Oken in Soul Centered Astrology, a High Level Taurus can “stimulate the presence of Light in any form which matter may take.” 

During the lush month of Taurus we can find the Spirit in nature, focus on our gardens, and develop our projects and celebrate the Earth.

For Aries, the Taurus month is best for working on finances, for Taurus, this month is best for expansion and personal development, for Gemini, Taurus is a time for spiritual retreat and relaxation, for Cancer, meeting with friends and involvement with groups, for Leo- career development, for Virgo it’s a great time to travel, to follow a course of study, to publish a book.  Libra should be looking at joint finances, focusing on sexual issues.  Scorpio should be working on relationships.  Sagittarius will be dealing with health and work issues, while Capricorn will be paying more attention to children, lovers, and creative matters.  Aquarius will be focused on the home and family, real estate.  Pisces will be associating more with neighbors, siblings, and will be focused on all types of communications.

Rick Santorum: Spanish Inquisitor

In a weekly address to her students, Psychic Vera said that after watching a few minutes of Rick Santorum on television and hearing his disturbing pronouncements, it was obvious that he used to be a Spanish priest, a member of the Spanish Inquisition in a past life. “He enjoyed torturing and burning witches, Muslims, Protestants, and homosexuals” she said. “Some Catholics are very right wing and like Christian fundamentalists want to ban all birth control and abortion, homosexual rights, and all sex, unless it’s part of marriage and then only for procreation.” She went onto say that the individuals who want to put these archaic and evil ideas into practice have also expressed them in a past life. “Whether a member of the Spanish Inquisition, one of Hitler’s cronies or Caligula’s minions, Rick Santorum and his ilk are trying to play out their evil actions, which have roots in the past.

Opus Dei, a right wing Catholic organization, founded by a right wing Catholic priest named Escriva (who practiced self-flagellation), has been praised by Santorum. Opus Dei is a good example of a group of men who want us to regress to an age where women were slaves and men were in control of every part of their reproductive cycle.

Like the Republican Congressman, Darrel Issa, who  refused to allow women to attend a congressional committee on contraception, or the billionaire Foster Freeze who clamed that women used to put an aspirin between their legs for contraception, Santorum also wants to take us back to the dark ages, a period in which he was obviously more comfortable.

If he happens to become the Republican nominee for president, he will lose the race to Barak Obama and destroy the Republican Party. Unmarried women are leaving the GOP in droves because it has finally slipped into noo noo land with their 20+ year history of getting into bed with the Christian fundamentalists. Originally they thought this was a good bargain because they needed voters since their party, dominated by the rich, was too small to win elections.

Instead of joining in with the Democrats to create an equal, progressive society, the Republicans are cannibalizing their own in a desperate attempt to turn our country into a feudal system with the richest Americans on top, forever.

Rick Santorum will not alter his path to destruction because he’s a low level Taurus. High level Taurus’ work on spiritualizing the material plane. Low Level Taurus’ like Hitler, Saddam Hussein, Jim Jones, Lenin, and Rick Santorum, are unable to see the humanity of all peoples and cannot resist trying to control the masses in a brutal fashion.

The degree symbol of Santorum’s Taurus Sun Sign reads: In a country kitchen, we see at the left, a raven perched on a watering can, watching two dogs at the right furiously fighting. In the Zodiac Image Handbook written by Helene and William Koppejan, “this is a degree of shrewdness and envy. Unconsciously, they feed material into the malicious thoughts of others.  For all their air of idealism, they spurn any honest and well-meant philosophy.”

Another degree symbol that is repeated over and over in horoscopes of right wingers is the 22nd degree of Aquarius. Chiron is at this degree in Santorum’s chart and it is square his Taurus Sun. This Aquarian degree symbol reads: A furious bull is disemboweling a dog. On the right side, a man is opening up a corpse. Santorum as well as other people who have this degree, like Sarah Palin, Glenn Beck, and Jeb Bush, enjoy seeing violence

With only one aspect to Venus in Aries, a trine to Uranus, Santorum has very little experience of real love in his life. This aspect could also mean that he’s a closet homosexual (Venus=love, Uranus=unconventional, an unusual love choice), which might explain his gay phobia. He once equated male homosexuality to bestiality, saying it was like “man on dog”.

“Me thinks he doth protest too much,” Psychic Vera said. “I’m sure there were priests back in the middle ages who were closet homosexuals just like there are now. This probably drove them to brutal actions during the Spanish Inquisition. Some of the most compassionate men in the world are gay but they are open about their sexual choices. Some of the most brutal men in the world are closeted. A good example of a brutal man in the closet was J. Edgar Hoover.

With Mercury (thinking and communications) in impulsive Aries opposing Jupiter (exaggeration), Santorum leaps to conclusions and is full of verbal bravado and irrational thinking. Recently, he described Obama’s “theology” in a confusing garble as the government trying to control us, not seeing the irony of this statement in lieu of his desire to control women’s reproductive rights.

Rick Santorum is not only bad for the Republican Party, he’s also bad for America. “He needs to be set out to political pasture,” Vera said, “just like any old bull that is no longer useful, but is still dangerous.”

Neptune in Pisces

February 3, 2012—Mar 31, 2025

The last time Neptune was in Pisces, mediumship was all the rage and that started with the Fox sisters in New York in 1848 who talked to spirits. Other psychics and mediums came out of the woodwork, some were fraudulent, and others were genuine. There will be more seers making predictions, particularly as more catastrophic events lead up to the end of this cycle in the Mayan calendar in 2012. We may have more evidence of what happens after death and we may all see our psychic abilities increase. Dreamwork will become more important.
The start of the Civil War occurred while Neptune was in Pisces. Although we may not have a Civil War this time, the Red and Blue States are drifting farther and farther apart. Texas has been seriously considering succession.
Oil is ruled by Neptune and the world's first commercial oil well was drilled in Poland in 1853 while Neptune was in Pisces the last time. I expect this may be the end of the oil industry this time around. In order to save the planet, we’ll have to use alternative fuels to seriously cut emissions.
With Neptune in Pisces, Aries will pay more attention to their dreams and development of their psychic abilities. Taurus will be more inclined to join groups that develop their psychic abilities, particularly in relationship to humanitarian concerns.  Gemini will be interested in developing a career that uses their psychic abilities or helps the disadvantaged but if they’re too idealistic they may be disappointed. Cancer will become more interested in religion or seriously pursuing a spiritual agenda or take college classes and study social work or film. Leo will find that they are interested in spiritualizing their sex lives. There may be some confusion around legacies and other people’s money. Virgo may develop more spiritual relationships but they have to be careful not to delude themselves about others. Libra will find their working environment may include more work with the disadvantaged or creative projects. Scorpio may spiritualize their relationships with loved ones or creativity. Sagittarius has a chance to realize some of their dreams about creating a home or there may be some confusion about where they belong. Capricorn may spiritualize their relationships with siblings or find that they’re more disappointed in them.  Aquarius will find that their financial dealings become more confusing or they become less materialistic. Pisces may feel more at home in the world actualizing their creativity or spiritual nature or more confused than ever.

Aquarius
January 20th to February 18th

 

This is the month for friendship, humanitarian concerns, working with groups to save the planet. It’s not really the month for romantic love even though Valentine’s Day occurs while the Sun is still in this sign. Romantic love is Pisces purview. Do people really feel romantic on February 14th or do they just think they do? Aquarians often have trouble with relationships because they feel more comfortable being detached than personal. If you try to get too personal with an Aquarius, they’ll feel uncomfortable and withdraw. On a higher level, they are meant to use their energies for humanitarian concerns rather than just one to one relationships. Rather than focusing their energies on helping humanity, lower level Aquarians become isolates and end up misanthropic, particularly in their old age.

Besides focusing our energies on groups and humanitarian concerns this month, Aquarius is also the sign of technology, inventions, and cosmic consciousness. Aquarians always seem to know things that the rest of us don’t. It’s a great sign for cosmic intuition and we should try this month to tune in ourselves. All of us need insight into our planet’s future. Aquarians are stubborn and are resistant to changing their minds, even though they can be erratic and abrupt. They like to express their individuality and they don’t like to be tied down by too many rules and regulations.

While the Sun is in Aquarius, Aries likes to focus its energies on humanitarian concerns and groups. Friends get the nod as well. Taurus should spend this month focused on career issues and getting more recognition for their efforts. It’s interesting that such a materialistic sign is involved with humanitarian concerns in their career sector. Gemini is interested in traveling and higher education during this time, expressing their thoughts in a public way, while Cancer is most concerned with sexual issues, joint resources, and questions about death. It’s time for Leo to focus on relationship issues. While Leo can be so personal and upfront, in relationships they enjoy being more emotionally detached. Virgo will focus on health and work-related issues while Libra will be expending more energy with children, love affairs, and creative projects.
Scorpio will focus on the family and home during the Aquarius month. Sagittarius will find itself studying, expanding its knowledge, relating more to neighbors and siblings. It’s the month for Capricorn to be most concerned with its finances while it’s time for Aquarius to take center stage and be more self-expressive. It’s a more reclusive time for Pisces. Spending more time alone and hibernating will help recharge the batteries for the rest of the year.

Newt Gingrich: An Unmitigated Weenie

When I told Psychic Chuck the title of this article he wanted to know what a mitigated wienie was so he could avoid them too. I told him he didn’t have to worry because mitigated weenies are all dead ones, like Jerry Falwell.

Some of the Gingrich quotes set the standard for the unmitigated weenie label: “We need a president and not an athlete.” Other stupid Gingrich quotes include:  The most radical president in American history has now thrown down the gauntlet to the American people.  ‘I run a machine.  I own Washington and there’s nothing you can do about it.’  He also referred to the present administration as a “secular socialist machine.”  In the past we’ve heard such “clever” Gingrich sayings as “The idea that a congressman would be tainted by accepting money from private industry or private sources is essentially a socialist argument.”  And “I think one of the great problems we have in the Republican Party is that we don’t encourage you to be nasty.  We encourage you to be neat, obedient, loyal and faithful and all those Boy Scout words, which would be great around a campfire but are lousy in politics.”  Give us a break.  The Republican Party is the party of nasties—sexual as well as otherwise.

Gingrich is a classless and lower level Gemini, who has never learned that the verbal garbage he spouts continually poisons the well for the possibility of any kind of rational discourse.  He has said,” I’m not a natural leader.  I’m too intellectual.  I’m too abstract; I think too much.”  With Mercury (thought) conjunct Uranus (unconventional), his thinking is weird and convoluted, his cockamamie plans-- unrealistic and dangerous like his idea that all janitors in elementary school be fired so young students can do the work themselves at half the cost. I guess he wants to abolish child labor laws and send us back to the Gilded Age.

He also recently said that the Palestinians weren’t a real people and part of his plan if elected is to pay little attention to government job creation and instead attack inflation as well as give the 1%ers their “needed” tax break. Then there are the times he says that he’s the only one that can save the planet.

With Sun (ego) square Neptune (illusion), many of his foolish so- called intellectual ideas are based on delusion and his odd imagination. It is also the primary reason for his inflated ego. I’ve discussed this aspect as particularly Republican because many politicians of that party have this pattern. Along with Saturn conjuncting Gingrich’s Sun, it indicates delusional ideas are compensating for deep feelings of inferiority. These feelings of inferiority are also indicated by his Chiron (open wound) in Leo (Ego).

He tried to assuage his desire for ego gratification in love (Venus in Leo) by running off with a younger woman—Calista Gingrich. (He left two wives to get to the third.) But he may be more inflamed by catastrophic romance because Venus is conjunct Pluto in his natal chart. He’s also a hypocrite. I remember when he tried to call out Clinton for his affair with Lewinsky when he was having one of his own with Calista.

A recent article in Slate by Jacob Weisberg wonders if Newt is a nut, with a manic depressive disorder. He at least has the symptoms of having a narcissistic personality disorder. Although many politicians may have this problem, Newtie has the edge on being a hypomanic, selfish, and cockamamie idea man who really doesn’t have a clue about being president. He said it himself, “I’m not a natural leader.  I’m too intellectual.  I’m too abstract; I think too much.” 

Why doesn’t he just go away then and sit in his ivory tower with his crazy ideas and his plastic, Tiffany enraptured wife. We certainly don’t want her in the role of First Lady. She would be reason alone to reject Newt even though he’s filled the brim with unredeemable character flaws, himself.

Only other unmitigated weenies would vote for Newt. Hopefully, they will be mitigated sooner not later.

Herman Cain: Freedom without Consequence?

Listen

Herman Cain, as a low level Sagittarius, thinks he can do anything he wants. He thinks he can sexually harass women and get away with it, he thinks he can tell a debate audience that people without jobs are to be blamed for their lack. He believes that the rich bear no consequence for their action, as he doesn’t, and should only pay a measly 9 percent of their income for taxes. Low level Sagittarians want lots of freedom for themselves and think they can break all the laws with impunity. How about that Sagittarian Ted Bundy?

With Mars conjunct Pluto in Leo, Cain has a sexual ego that just won’t quit. He has to be admired for his sexual prowess even if he uses force (Mars conjunct Pluto) to get it. Too bad for his wife.

Sooner or later low level Sagittarians get their comeuppance as Herman is now. He’s in the middle of a Saturn Cycle. Transiting Saturn has conjuncted his natal Jupiter (washing away the good luck) and is now squaring natal Saturn. Watch out for karmic retribution.

Don’t you get tired of all this? I do. I’m tired of lame ass Republicans, particularly black or gay ones. You may as well throw Republican women in this category too, who put their money ahead of the rights of all women, gays, and African Americans. They are truly disgusting.

Stay tuned for another diatribe against another lame ass Republican candidate very soon.

Psychologically Disturbed Republicans

Senate Majority Leader, Harry Reid, said it was bizarre. He was talking about the debt deal that the Tea Bag party came up with. The Republican speaker of the House, Boehner, said about his own party members that they wanted chaos. It was revealed recently that a Tea Bagger who was squawking about not wanting to leave the US debt to his children is over 100,000 dollars behind in his child support payments. Yet, no one is talking about the only obvious conclusion that we can come to: many members of the Republican Party, particularly the Tea Baggers are psychologically disturbed and they’ve been disturbed since early childhood. This is the reason for their cockeyed notions, which are a result of their psychological dysfunction. Many of these politicians were unloved as children. You can see this in Michelle Bachman’s chart with her Venus (love) opposing Saturn (restriction) or John Boehner with his Venus in restrictive Capricorn, one of the astrological signs ruled by Saturn. This means that the majority in this country are being pushed around and imprisoned by a vocal and deeply disturbed minority. I’m not saying they’re all psychotic but they are neurotic and they’re trying to foist their problems off on the rest of us.

It would be nice if the media would not continually consider the two parties equal. This delusion makes the media seem just as dysfunctional as the crazy Republicans. Oh I forgot: much of the media is owned by crazy rich people and they vote for Republican lunatics.

There is a way out of this terrible morass. If people, who elected Tea Baggers, would pull the plug and either, recall them or vote them out in 2012, we might be able to get on with progressive solutions to the severe problems we are facing, like jobs, mortgage fraud, and dangerous climate change. Meanwhile all the elected Democrats have to use a bull horn to play up the lunacy of the Republican Party and what the minority is trying to do to the rest of us. I am damn sick of being controlled by psychologically disturbed, stupid people. Aren’t you?

Andreas Breivik—Born to be a Mass Murderer?

The Norwegian mass murderer, Andres Breivik, is an Aquarian with Mercury and Mars in that sign and all are square Uranus, the planet of revolution and originality. Breivik is an original alright. He is the only mass murderer ever in Norway, normally a country of peace and prosperity. Perhaps if we go back to the Norsemen we can find the strain of bloodthirstiness that must run through his veins. Otherwise we have to look at his horoscope for clues to his terrible crimes. Breivik believes his deeds were atrocious but necessary. A high level Aquarian can work tirelessly for humanitarian concerns but this one did the opposite. Mars square Uranus makes him impulsive, angry and convinced of his omnipotence. Mercury square Uranus can produce an erratic thinker, another aspect that makes him convinced that he is right and everyone else is wrong. This aspect is also reinforced by his Sun in Aquarius combined with Moon in Virgo which can be personally detached and has an I versus them mentality, labeling “them” as those who don’t agree with his views.

What makes it worse is a Sun (ego) square Uranus (revolutionary), with the Sun at a degree of “crime.” Quoting from The Zodiac Image Handbook by two Dutch astrologers, Helene and William Koppejan, who say that this degree is the sign of a terrorist and people are best to avoid them, we can see that Breivik’s crimes may not as surprising as they appear. The symbol for this degree is: A man of gloomy countenance, furious wrath expressed in every line of his body, is stamping around, brandishing a dagger. His forehead is marked with traces of blood. He has his back to a vast dark building, like a prison or an asylum, of which the windows are barred.

The book goes on to say that if “these people do not control their instincts to ill will, they may become dangerous. They have a tendency to be brutal, vengeful, and passionate. They do not think before they act with ferocity.”

There are other aspects that confound this man’s problems. Neptune the planet of delusion squaring (conflicting with) the North and South nodes indicates that his realization of finding his true path in life (Virgo North Node of Service) is being blocked by delusions. He must feel that he is providing a service. (Saturn and the Moon are both in Virgo as well). Some how he connected the young people at the Labor Youth Camp as being a menace to Norwegian Aryan society because they were children of members of the Labor Party which don’t oppose the Muslims and Norway’s multicultural society.

Breivik shows little compassion because his Venus the planet of love) is in cold and utilitarian Capricorn. It makes a trine to Saturn and possibly the Moon which indicates that he probably saw this heinous act as his duty or obligation to the society. Since I don’t have the time of birth for this fellow I can’t tell if the Moon is conjunct Saturn in the Sign of Virgo. But if it is, it would indicate self-criticism and low self-esteem, as well as depression connected with both of his parents, who were critical of him.

With Pluto trine his Sun, Mercury, Mars conjunction in Aquarius he has made a very forceful impression on his country. He could have used all of this energy for making a positive impact but He could have used all of this energy for making a positive impact but he allowed the Pluto dark forces easy access. I would suspect that his early childhood helped to motivate him to make a very sad and destructive contribution.

Is Stauss-Kahn a Sex Crazed Maniac?

The French are probably breathing a sign of relief now that Dominique Strauss Kahn seems to be let off the hook for the rape of the African maid in that ritzy hotel in New York. As usual his defense attorneys have impugned the victim declaring that she must be lying because she has a boyfriend who she contacted while he was in jail on a drug charge—marijuana and told him on the phone that she could get money from Strauss Kahn. She also lied on her immigration papers so that also discounts her version of events in the hotel room. That may or may not have any connection to the rape charge but there are two things that we should take into consideration when judging this Socialist banker, Strauss Kahn: 1. He is now being sued by a young journalist who claims that he attempted to rape her while she was trying to interview him. 2. His astrological chart indicates that he enjoys rough, dark sex.

Besides being a Taurus, which is well known for being a glutinous sign, His Venus in Taurus is square both Pluto (coercion) and Jupiter (going overboard). With Leo rising, he likes to be king of his castle, which he considers to be anywhere he is. Mars and Moon in Aries makes him impulsive and foolhardy. Sagittarius in Chiron (wounded healer) in the fifth house means that he has an open wound in his house of love. But the Venus square Pluto is the clincher for me. Venus contaminated by Pluto usually means that the dark side is all part of his romps in the hay.

Maybe the only way the African maid is going to get her credibility back is for the journalist to win her case against him.

Jupiter in Taurus
June 4, 2011 to June 2012

While Jupiter is in Taurus for the next year, we all have a chance to increase our incomes. There will be more emphasis on the material plane and financial problems and answers will be in focus. People will be mores sensual, interested in sex, cooking and eating and the tactile arts. Construction and gardening are also highlighted.
Aries may see their financial picture brighten.  More money might equal more spending. Try to be circumspect. Taurus will find that it’s time for growth and expansion in the next year, spiritually and educationally. Gemini finds it’s more enjoyable to spend time by themselves, to develop their spiritual lives. Hidden financial fears can also be handled more effectively.  Cancer will have a great time with friends and find advantages joining groups that deal with humanitarian concerns.  Leo will see their career ambitions expand and find that they have good luck in the career sector.  Virgo has the opportunity to travel and pursue higher education, a chance at publishing that book.  Libra may gain money through other people or the lottery, receive an inheritance, improve their sex lives.  Scorpio will find that their relationships expand.  They can also attract more clients.  Sagittarius will benefit at work and their health may improve while Capricorn sees good relationships with children and loved ones.  They also may make some money gambling.  Aquarius can see advantages with real estate, buy a new home or expand their present one.  Pisces will enjoy short distance trips and study, have advantageous relationships with siblings and neighbors.

Fred Phelps: A Sex Crazed Maniac?

I just read an article in which the writer interviewed a seven year old boy, whose parents are member’s of Fred Phelps’ Westboro Baptist Church. You know who Fred Phelps is, don’t you? He’s the minister who demonstrates with his family and a few other members of his church at military funerals because all enlisted men and women are going to Hell for fighting in wars supported by our going to Hell government. Or Phelps pickets funerals of gay men because they’re all going to Hell. The seven year old boy said that all “fags and Jews were going to Hell”.

My friends Duke and Rat are convinced that Phelps is a closet gay because he’s so full of hatred for homosexuals. That’s possible. He does have Mars in Scorpio square Neptune in Virgo ,which indicates that he’s confused (Neptune) about his masculinity (Mars). However, I can just as easily say he’s so obsessed with sex, he wants to interfere in everybody’s sex life. He’s got four Scorpio planets plus the South Node in that sign, indicating his fixation. Scorpio is the Sex sign, among other things. People who have Scorpio planets have sexual issues to confront most of their lives. With the South Node in Scorpio he’s supposed to be on a different path, a less sexually obsessed and convoluted emotional path.  With the North node in Taurus, he should be heading towards a more peaceful end, but he isn’t.

He had 13 children which channeled some of his sexual energy, but the rest of it continues to spray out, latching onto other people’s sex lives. Wikipedia talks about the suit he filed years ago against a court reporter:

“A formal complaint was filed against Phelps on November 8, 1977, by the Kansas State Board of Law Examiners for his conduct during a lawsuit against a court reporter named Carolene Brady. Brady had failed to have a court transcript ready for Phelps on the day he asked for it; though it did not affect the outcome of the case for which Phelps had requested the transcript, Phelps still requested $22,000 in damages from her.] In the ensuing trial, Phelps called Brady to the stand, declared her a hostile witness, and then cross-examined  her for nearly a week, during which he accused her of being a "slut", tried to introduce testimony from former boyfriends whom Phelps wanted to subpoena and accused her of a variety of perverse sexual acts, ultimately reducing her to tears on the stand. Phelps lost the case; according to the Kansas Supreme Court:

The trial became an exhibition of a personal vendetta by Phelps against Carolene Brady. His examination was replete with repetition, badgering, innuendo, belligerence, irrelevant and immaterial matter, evidencing only a desire to hurt and destroy the defendant. The jury verdict didn't stop the onslaught of Phelps. He was not satisfied with the hurt, pain, and damage he had visited on Carolene Brady.
In an appeal, Phelps prepared affidavit swearing to the court that he had eight witnesses whose testimony would convince the court to rule in his favor. Brady, in turn, obtained sworn, signed affidavits from the eight people in question, all of whom said that Phelps had never contacted them and that they had no reason to testify against Brady. Phelps had committed perjury.

On July 20, 1979, Phelps was permanently disbarred from practicing law in the state of Kansas,] though he continued to practice in Federal courts.”

I’m sure something was wrong with Phelps from the very beginning of his life. It didn’t help that he lost his mother at an early age.  A possible Moon conjunct Uranus in his chart indicates a separation from his mother (Moon) and erratic emotional responses as a result (Uranus).  A Moon square Saturn could mean severe depression (Saturn) and an acute feeling of loss with regards to his mother.  Moon in Aries means that he had to be emotionally on his own. In the past he used his Moon in Aries to be a pioneer and he did receive awards for his work with African American clients in civil rights cases. It’s too bad his sexual fixation now create so much pain for others.

Moon in Taurus
Demonic Republican Budget set to Shut Down Government and Destroy Our Country

The story goes that Satan, aka the Devil, hates humanity and he is forever trying to tempt us into degradation so we will ruin our planet. It is obvious that he has almost all of the Republicans and some of the Democrats by the short hairs. Most of them don’t even know it. He is close to winning another round if the Republicans succeed in pushing through their satanic budget. It’s easy enough to call a group we don’t agree with satanic, or evil. But how can we realistically call the Republicans any thing else when they want to make severe cuts to services for the middle class and the poor in the midst of a Depression while propping up Defense and their rich contractor friends. If congressional Republicans don’t get their way, they will try  to shut down the government.

With the Moon presently in Taurus (financial matters and materialism) today and tomorrow and traveling through the US 12th House of liabilities, it is obvious that our Achilles heel is materialism.  Furthermore, Uranus and now Mars are squaring Venus in the Second House of Money adding anger and erratic behavior to our financial problems. We’re also having a Saturn Return which is in the Fifth House of stocks and ruling the Capricorn 8th House of debts and taxes. Transiting Saturn (limitation) is squaring our Sun (our national character) in the Second House of money, further dampening our chances to come out of this horrible slump (all perpetuated by the Republicans and their demonic energies. Saturn contraction is now in the ascendancy as Jupiter gets ready to travel into the 12th House. Perhaps in June when Jupiter travels into Taurus and starts making positive aspects to Venus and other Second House Cancer planets for the rest of the year, the Republicans will be backed into a corner.

Progressive people all over the world have a terrific battle to fight against reactionary forces that are trying to pull us back into a feudal lifestyle. Libya, Egypt, Tunisia, Yemen, Iran are not alone in their desire to throw off the shackles of tyranny. We also have to make significant progress now in this country in lieu of the coming cycle change as mapped by the Mayan Calendar in 2012.

Uranus in Aries
March 11 2011—March 2019

Uranus is the planet of independence, revolution, individualism, and the desire for freedom.  It was originally discovered just in time for the American and French Revolutions.  Traveling into Aries now, it has already influenced the formation of the Tea Party Movement.  Unfortunately the nature of Aries can make the desire for independence and freedom self-centered, selfish and egocentric.  The Tea Party Movement is not known for its support of cooperative community work and either is Uranus in Aries.  However, the revolutions in the Middle East and the Demonstrations in the Midwest are an indication that people don’t ant to be pushed around anymore by dictatorial leaders. The last time Uranus was in Aries, we had the Great Depression. But there was also the invention of the first analog computer and the cyclotron, a device for accelerating atomic particles.  During the previous period when Uranus was in Aries (1844-51), the US went to War with Mexico and the Brits were at war in Afghanistan.  Does any of this sounding familiar?  The Communist Manifesto was published. At the peak of the Uranus period, revolutions in France and in the Austrian Empire occurred. People traveled to California to take advantage of the Gold Rush. I wonder if people will come to California again for a new gold rush, to take advantage of the job possibilities engendered by High Speed Rail and Green economic projects. Other states like Texas, Ohio, Wisconsin, and Michigan, as well as Florida are rejecting the future and the economic boon these projects will bring.
Uranus will stimulate in Aries individuals a desire for independence, change and freedom to do whatever they want, damn the consequences.  Taurus will be affected by the same energies but may not be as conscious of them; it might be like a fly buzzing in the back of Taurus’ mind.  They may find that they like to spend more time by themselves and express their individuality by following a spiritual path. Gemini will enjoy the variety stimulated by Uranus, particularly in the house of friends, attracting unconventional people. They may also join revolutionary groups.  Cancers may find that there is a change in their careers; they may want to try self-employment or be attracted to unusual careers, like astrology, for example, or work with computers.  Leo will impulsively take off on long distance trips or to apply for colleges that offer independence like online study.  Virgo may want a change in their sexual habits and be more unconventional. Joint finances may veer off in a new direction. They may be able to establish their independence through getting a legacy. Libra may want a change in their partnerships to allow more freedom and independence, while Scorpio finds that their working environment needs changing to allow for more independence.  There could also be a change in their health habits. They may try alternative medicine.  Sagittarius notices that children and loved ones may want more independence, while Capricorn may desire a change of residence or desire more freedom from family members or find that family members would like to be more independent.  Aquarius finds that short distance traveling gives them the feeling of independence that they want and also notices changes in their relationships with siblings and neighbors.  Pisces might discover new types of income or discover that money flows in through unconventional methods.

Charlie Sheen: A Virgo with Low Self-Esteem Tries to Compensate

It’s easier to understand Charlie’s Sheen’s self-destructive behavior if we look at it through an astrological lens. In his natal chart, he has Sun (Ego) in Virgo conjunct Uranus (revolutionary and individualistic), and Pluto (authoritarian bullyboy) and all three planets are opposing Repressive Saturn. Virgo is normally self-critical and with this natal Saturn aspect he feels very inadequate, which is probably reinforced by his relationship with his father, Martin Sheen (Sun/ Saturn). This is made more difficult and painful by a conjunction between Saturn and Chiron, the wounded healer.

 Rather than confront these inadequacy feelings, he resorts to his Moon in Sagittarius trine Mercury in Leo.  Sagittarius can be an irresponsible sign, particularly when expected to face obligations (he has 5 children). The Moon also opposes Jupiter, which indicates that His emotional responses (Moon) are generally extreme (Jupiter)

Mercury (communication and conscious mind) in Leo means that he overcompensates by inflating his ego (Leo) and claiming that he is an Adonis, for example. His mentality is made worse by a square to Neptune, which makes him delusional.  Mars is conjunct Neptune which complicates his life with a drug and alcohol addiction.
 

With Venus and Mars ruling his 12th house of the Subconscious and progressed into the Seventh House of Marriage and Relationship and square his Sun and progressed Saturn opposition, we can see that he has subconscious feelings of guilt about the way he has treated his wives and children.  Unable to confront the guilt, he tries to blot it out by taking drugs and sleazing around with porno actresses (Moon in Sagittarius in 8th House of sex), and wildly blowing loads of money (Jupiter in the 2nd house of finances).

The only way he’s going to move off this self-destructive path, is to face his guilt and make some restitution to all the people he has abused. At the same time he needs to work on his low self-esteem so he doesn’t have to overcompensate and brag about how special he really is. Although he is a fine comedic actor, he isn’t the savior of the world. He needs to get a grip. Otherwise, he may just end up dead or perhaps even worse, a drugged out reprehensible reprobate.

Congresswoman, Gabrielle Giffords Shot, Along With Others:

Nine Year old Child Killed as well as a Federal Judge.

"When you look at unbalanced people, how they respond to the vitriol that comes out of certain mouths about tearing down the government, the anger, the hatred, the bigotry that goes on in this county is getting to be outrageous. Unfortunately, Arizona, I think, has become sort of the capital," he said. "We have become the Mecca for prejudice and bigotry."
Pima County Sheriff Clarence Dupnik.

Congresswoman Giffords is a Gemini born June 8, 1970 in Tucson Az. I can’t guess at her prognosis as I don’t have her birth time but I can see the aspects that were operative on Saturday when she was shot in the head. In her natal chart she has Mars in Cancer in a close square to Uranus in Libra. This aspect can attract accidents and unpredictable events. Transiting Pluto has been forming an opposition to Mars and a square to Uranus. Pluto can bring violence and destruction, particularly when it’s involved in this particular configuration. In the Combination of Stellar Influences by Reinhold Ebertin, this Mars/Uranus/Pluto configuration is described as “Force, violent interventions.” Mars and Pluto met up again as transiting Mars trined her natal Pluto. Although a trine is a positive aspect, we always have to be careful when we’re judging those two planets aspecting each other. Violence is possible when it is easy: a trine, or hard: a square or opposition.
 

Neptune has been trining her Jupiter, but transiting Mars has been squaring Jupiter, which can make a person foolhardy with a failure to pay attention to possible risks. After threats she has received in the past (particularly with regards to the health care bill, which she supported), she probably should have avoided open and unprotected venues like the Safeway grocery store she was in on Saturday. People have said, however, that she is fearless.

Sheriff Dupnik in the quote at the beginning of this article laid it at the feet of a violent vitriol that comes out of “certain mouths” in the media (Sarah Palin, Glenn Beck, and Rush Limbaugh could certainly be included in a list of people who spout violent vitriol.

Websites, like Huffingtonpost, are now making a possible connection between the shooter, Jared Loughner. and an anti-immigrant racist group named American Renaissance. Southern Poverty Law Center describes the New Century Foundation which is behind American Renaissance as:a self-styled think tank that promotes pseudo-scientific studies and research that purport to show the inferiority of blacks to whites — although in highfalutin language that avoids open racial slurs and attempts to portray itself as serious scholarship. It is best known for its American Renaissance magazine and website, which regularly feature proponents of eugenics and blatant anti-black racists. The foundation also sponsors American Renaissance conferences every other year where racist "intellectuals" rub shoulders with Klansmen, neo-Nazis and other white supremacists.

This is not all. Transiting Pluto is moving into a conjunction to his natal Neptune, which opposes Chiron in Cancer.  Pluto, the planet of death and destruction, is on top of and blending with Neptune, the planet of illusion, and delusion and aspecting Chiron (the wounded healer) in Cancer, the sign of the Mother. Jared has an open wound concerning his home, family, and mother, as well as his country (the US is a Cancer) but he’s deluded about it (Neptune). These aspects are also linked in with his birth chart Mars in Aries square Neptune and Chiron. Mars in Aries can be combustible and impulsive as well as violent, involved with Neptune indicates possible drug and alcohol problems as well as a deluded messiah complex. There are some reports that he had alcohol poisoning and acted more irrational after that. He was evicted from his Jr. College because he had angry outbursts in class. He also targeted the government in his paranoid and delusional screeds.
Nobody seems to know yet whether he listened to the right wing pundits coming out of Fox News, but as the Sheriff said, unbalanced people listen to these anti-American rants from Beck, Palin, Limbaugh and the others and it incites them to violence. Since 2007 and the Virginia Tech massacre, hundreds of people have been wounded or killed by delusional gunmen, acting out their malice and hatred for decent people, trying to make a difference. The energy in this country is a black hole that sucks unstable people into a maelstrom of delusion and violent action fueled by evil pundits that enjoy the chaos they’ve created.
Addendum: Pamela, a friend of mine, mentioned the 13 day Mayan Astrology Cycle which was mentioned in my Cosmic Advice last Sunday. I’ll quote it here: How to Practice Mayan Astrology says: Ik is a fickle and restless period during which spiritual, strange and unstable people make the news or influence events. External control is weak. Experiments are undertaken and barriers are destroyed.

The following article on John Boehner was written several days ago before Congresswoman Giffords was wounded. As a result, Boehner is putting off the vote to rescind Obama’s health care law. But this analysis is still apropos.

John Boehner: Delusional Liar

A friend named Steve asked, “Psychic Vera, do you think the Republicans led by John Boehner aka Boner are delusional or are they just lying their asses off.” I answered “both.” If we look at Boner’s chart we can certainly see delusional aspects right now with transiting Saturn conjunct (on top of) his natal Neptune. This is quite a paranoid aspect. The person experiencing this transit isn’t quite sure what is real (Saturn) and what is fantasy (Neptune), but often feels persecuted. On the plus side, maybe this aspect will force him to face the facts, Even so, he’ll probably try to cover up the facts and lie about them anyway.
He also has had transiting Neptune square his Sun for quite awhile. Any Neptune aspect spreads a web of illusion over everything in an individual’s life. In his case, the web of illusion is affecting his ego (Sun). He cries all the time because he thinks he’s finally among the movers and shakers where he really belongs due to his innate superiority and hard work. In actually, he’s a delusional mediocrity. He thinks he can reverse the health care bill when, in actuality, doing so would cost the government over 230 billion dollars. Apparently, he said he didn’t care. What then is his motivation for trying to reverse the health care bill? Just because he thinks he can? Just because he wants to ruin all of Obama’s successes? He said he was leading the People’s House, the other day. What People? The rich and creepy?
To support my contention that the Republicans, led by Boner, are also lying their asses off, all we have to do is look at transiting Saturn conjuncting his Lunar Nodal/Neptune Midpoint Axis. In the Combination of Stellar Influences, by Reinhold Ebertin this combination is described thusly: The demonstration of emotional inhibitions when in contact with others (he apparently can’t express his feelings other than by weeping). Disadvantages or painful and grievous losses through association with others, separation through deceit, perfidy, or untruthfulness. It’s interesting to also see what Ebertin says about the Neptune/Nodal Midpoint in general: A lack of team spirit or community sense. Peculiar or strange conduct in communal life, unreliability. Lack of communal sense or feeling, the inclination to exploit, deceive, and cheat other people. Let’s face it; this guy is an anti-social weenie.

Psychic Vera’s Diary

Tea Party Evil
October 10

Many of us thought that once Obama became President Good would have triumphed once and for all and we would have successfully beaten back the hoards of hate and despair.  Naively, we failed to take an important spiritual law into consideration.  When Good gains in strength, Evil also rises.  And while Good is always out in the open, Evil hides in the corners and often cloaks itself in religious piety.  Those that sit on the fence between Good and Evil can’t see either one.  Even those that have provided a soul and body for Evil to inhabit don’t see what they’ve become—a tool for the Wicked One.

The rise of the Tea Party candidates has given Evil a chance to get a foothold.  Take Sharon Angle for example.  We’d be hard pressed to find a better conductor.  During her campaign for Senate against Harry Reid, she has proclaimed that a 12 year old girl should be forced to bare a child, even though conceived through an incestuous relationship with a father, for example, or a perverted neighbor down the street.  She also believes that an autistic child should be denied government paid medical care.  Social Security and Medicare should be phased out, she says, and had she been in Congress at the time of Hurricane Katrina, she would have voted against emergency assistance to the victims.  Further, she says that helping the poor is a form of idolatry that violates the First of the 10 commandments even though both Old and New Testaments show concern for the poor.   She’s against unemployment insurance and says global warming is a hoax.

Then there’s Joe Miller, running for the Senate in Alaska.  He’d like to deny any man or woman who has lost their job, unemployment insurance.  He says it’s unconstitutional, even though he admitted that his wife has collected it in the past.  Apparently, he likes the idea of hate crimes, opposing laws against them as a violation of the Constitutional right to free speech.  He’d like to eliminate the education department, just like Sharon Angle, and the National Endowment for the Arts. Should he get into office, he’d give the boot to Social Security and Medicare too.

Carly Fiorina is not a Tea Party candidate, but she has also garnered support from the Republican dungeon mistress, Sara Palin.  Carly is threatened by the  the idea of gay marriage and supports Arizona’s draconian immigration law.  She says being on the Homeland Security’s no fly list shouldn’t ban a person from buying a gun.  She also opposed emergency aid to fund teachers and Medicaid.  Carly is running for the Senate in California.

Mike Lee is running for Senate in Utah.  He is also against most federally mandated programs.  He liked to get rid of Departments of Energy, Education, and Housing and throw away Social Security.  He also doesn’t want to increase liability for corporations like BP even if taxpayers take it in the shorts.

Is there an astrological common denominator for these mean and selfish people?  There certainly is.  Each one of them has Venus, the planet of love, affection, and tenderness, in a troublesome aspect to cold Saturn, the planet of restriction.  These candidates have had little experience of unselfish love in their lives, which makes them mean-spirited and cold-hearted.  Although normally, I would feel sorry for people with a limited experience of love, in the case of these four candidates, I feel nothing but disdain.  They are trying to politicize their lack of love and they’ve turned their misery into greedy and self-centered policies. 

Does that mean that all people who have Saturn in bad aspect to Venus are selfish and cruel? Not at all. Anybody can rise above their astrological chart and turn problematic patterns into advantages.  Venus /Saturn people can be loyal partners in any relationship.

The only way to weaken Evil’s strength is to put it up to the light as Hercules did to the ugly and wicked Hydra.  Before November 2nd, tell everyone you know about these selfish and duplicitous candidates and make sure you vote for the people that care about the rest of us.  Obama isn’t perfect (with his Sun square Neptune, he underestimated the depth and extent of the Republican menace), and neither are the Democrats but they sure beat the hell out of these dangerous and mean-spirited loonies.

Psychic Vera’s Diary

September 15, 2010

This election is once more about money, who is going to have it and who is going to keep it, which is the only concern of the Republican Party.  They don’t care about morals or values.  Abortion and homosexuality are issues they claim, to lure the religious right into voting for them.  Their only interest is holding on to their money and having enough power to do so.  The rich own the Republicans and their only concern is the same—money.  They don’t want to be taxed because they want to keep all their loot and not have to pay for services for the rest of us.  At the bottom of this money obsession, of course, is fear and mind bending insecurity.  THEY ARE TERRIFIED ABOUT EVERYTHING. 

We learned from Jane Mayer in her article in the New Yorker about the Koch brothers, billionaires who are funding Republicans and Tea Party candidates in order to quell their terror of Obama’s and some of the Democrats’ progressive agenda, which will hike their taxes.  God forbid.  Oh yeah, that’s right, God doesn’t really figure into their equation.  If He or She did, they wouldn’t be risking their salvation (it’s as easy for a rich man to get into heaven as it is for a camel to get through the eye of a needle says Master Jesus) for a mess of potage.

I tell you what terrifies me: the possibility that the Republicans may capture the House and Senate because Americans are too damn stupid to see what the bastards are up to.  All you progressives out there---are you so disillusioned with Obama and the Democrats that you’ll allow the Republicans to get their filthy hands on power again and drive us into an abyss?  You know that will happen.  Just take a gander, for example, at the man that may grab the position of Speaker of the House if the Republicans succeed in November.  Representative John Boehner (I like to pronounce it Boner) is a Scorpio with a lust for power (his Sun is square Pluto ) and the devastating reality that he will always be frustrated in the  exercising of it (Mars--his initiative, his manhood, in  puritanical Virgo) conjunct (blocked by) Saturn (fear ).  He really is a little weenie with a sun tan. 

The New York Times just ran a story about him, “G.O.P. Leader is Tightly Bound to Lobbyists”. In the story, the writer, Eric Lipton mentions a lobbyist that listed recent issues that won Boehner’s support: “combating the fee increases for the oil industry, fighting a proposed cap on debit card fees, protecting tax breaks for hedge fund executives and opposing a cap on greenhouse gas emissions.”
Although recently Boehner tried to hedge his bets by saying that he’ll vote for a tax on the very rich if that’s his only option, his singular idea for securing jobs up to this point has been to allow the rich to keep their tax money.  Back to the trickle down theory that never worked since it was first claimed to be the one true solution to everything—under Ronald Reagan.  The trickle down theory is a rationalization for policies, based on selfishness and ultimately fear, which often stems from a lack of love in an individual’s early childhood environment. Boehner’s Venus (love and relationships) in Capricorn (cold and utilitarian) is square (in conflict with Neptune (disillusionment) and opposes Uranus.  An early idealism about love was thwarted by cold parents and others and he tries to maintain his insular world of greed and power to protect himself from hurt and disappointment.

As far as doing well in November, his chart doesn’t look very promising.  For starters, transiting Saturn is square Venus, usually an election stopper because Venus is pleasure and Saturn is lack of it. This aspect also has to do with a lack of popularity.  Hopefully, the voters won’t find much to like. Transiting Neptune, the planet of disappointment is square his Sun.  Disillusionment is another word for this aspect.  Mars will be moving into square to his birth chart Mars, peaking after the election but this aggressive planet hits early so I’m hoping he is going to be really pissed off on election night. Pluto is applying to an opposition to his birth chart Uranus, bad energy possibly signifying more scandals involving lobbyists, and a shock (Uranus) to his system.
 
Unfortunately, he does have a couple of good aspects, which could out weigh the bad ones if people in his district are extremely conservative and stupid.  Transiting Jupiter, the planet of abundance and good luck, is moving away from a sextile to his Sun, which trines the midpoint between transiting Jupiter and Uranus.  Since Jupiter is retrograding away it may not have enough impact to ameliorate the negative aspects.

Boehner may be old school, anyway, with the ascendancy of the crazy tea partiers in the Republican Party.  They’re motivated by issues like anti-masturbation, anti-unemployment, and anti-social security.  They’re frightened of the black man in the White House, among many other things.  They use the other things to rationalize their prejudice.  Hopefully, they will help sign the Republican Party’s death warrant in the November election.

Saturn in Libra

 

It’s a big deal when Saturn changes signs and that is happening July 21 when it travels into Libra.  It will remain in Libra for 2 years. The Mutable Signs, Gemini, Virgo, Sagittarius, and Pisces will be getting a well earned break.  Saturn in Virgo has been pretty tough on some of us, particularly with regards to work and health.  Now it will be the Cardinal Signs’, Aries, Cancer, Libra, and Capricorn’s turn to suffer the slings and arrows from this difficult planetary energy.  Saturn in Libra indicates that for the next couple of years, there will be lessons to be learned with regards to relationships.  If we fail to pay attention to a weakness in this area of our lives, Saturn will hone in on our Achilles heels.  Libra wants to be fair and balanced and Saturn will make sure we follow through.

For Aries, relationships should take priority.  Responsibilities must be considered when getting involved with any relationship.  You may enter into long term partnerships during the next 2 years.  Taurus may find that work becomes harder and that there are responsibilities and issues around fellow employees.  It’s also a good idea to pay attention to your health.  Gemini may find that relationships with lovers and children take on more responsibilities, while there could be losses with gambling or in the stock market.  Cancer finds that home and family attracts more responsibilities.  Be circumspect about buying property during this time.  Leo needs to focus on relationships with siblings.  This is also a good time for serious study.  Virgo will be paying attention to finances while Libra may find that health matters most of all.  Get a check-up, eat a healthy diet.  Scorpio may spend more time by themselves and find that they have insecurities about their marriage or partnership.  Sagittarius might get more involved with friends, or decide they don’t want to bother due to too many responsibilities.  Capricorns will reach the pinnacle of their career and/or take on more concerns in their public life.  Aquarius may find that traveling is more difficult but it’s a good time to take up the responsibility of higher education.  Pisces needs to analyze their sexual relationships, their attitudes towards death, and realize that joint finances bring responsibilities.

Sharron Angle: Another Tea Party Fanatic

“You can make more money on unemployment than you can going down and getting one of those jobs that is an honest job but it doesn’t pay as much. We’ve put in so much entitlement into our government that we really have spoiled our citizenry.”
                                                                                                     --Sharron Angle

Alternet.org has a good article on it’s website about the dangers of the Tea Party and the website wants to follow through with an investigation of individuals who belong to the tea party movement.  I thought I do my part by writing about Tea Partiers who are running for public office.  In my last entry, I wrote again about Sarah Palin, who is a Tea Party supporter. This time I’ll analyze Sharron Angle who is a Tea Party/Republican candidate running for the Senate against Majority Leader Henry Reid in Nevada.

Angle is a Leo born, July 26, 1949, which makes her a double Leo because the Moon is probably in Leo too.  I say “probably” because I don’t have a timed birth chart.  Her main motivation in life is to be the center of attention and she’s now up to her eyeballs and is enjoying every minute of it.  The degree symbol for her Sun sign is a “sad-looking man, seated on a stool, is leaning forward with one hand on his knee.  The figure is vaguely lit up by sunlight, obscured by a dark cloud.”  The interpretation reads that when “on a low level of spiritual awareness, the melancholy becomes a real barrier against the light from above, these people may become morally weak and even degenerate into a state of senile decay.  In such cases there is little spiritual development, but like a cloud, emotionalism overshadows them; their life can then become disorderly and inconsequential.  It may be her own egoism and greed, which obstruct the light of higher life.”

With Venus the planet of love and relationships conjunct Saturn, the restrictor, both in Virgo, and square Chiron, she doesn’t have a lot of love to give and is very critical of her loved ones.  She may have inherited this trait from a cold and critical father (Saturn in Virgo). Judging from some of her political positions and the quote above about the unemployed, she has little empathy.

With a Mars conjunct Uranus in Cancer, Angle is touchy, impulsive (Mars in Cancer) erratic and weird (conjunct Uranus).  She has sided with scientologists over drug issues and a legislative proposal for a program of massages and sweat-boxes for prisoners.  Her Mercury (thinking) and Sun (Ego) in Leo opposing Jupiter (inflation exaggeration, extremism) makes her a lunatic fringe Republican who wants to ax the Department of Education, our membership in the United Nations, the IRS, Medicare and Social Security. She doesn’t believe in global warming.  She wants to drill, drill, drill for oil.  Her opinions probably match the John Birch Society platform.  She’s against abortion of course, even in cases of rape and incest.  She hates homosexuals and deplores the idea of same-sex marriage.  This Mercury/Sun/Jupiter aspect gives her the idea that she is privileged and special, exactly what she accuses the unemployed as thinking.  The Bush family members have the Sun/Jupiter aspect and are always surprised and outraged when we think that they act like trailer trash.  How could we when they’re obviously superior.  Arrogance is the key word here and Sharron Angle is filled to the brim with it. 

I don’t think she’s going to win in the November election.  Her aspects compared to Harry Reid’s aren’t all that good but I’ll look at them more closely at another time.

Sarah Palin and her Female Followers: A Shared Delusion

The Christian right is now poised to become a women’s movement—and Sarah Palin is its earthy Jerry Falwell. 
Lisa Miller in Newsweek, June 21, 2010 Issue

It’s sad and frustrating to me that a high percentage of religious right wing women can’t see that Sarah Palin is an evil bitch.  According to the June 21 edition of Newsweek, Sarah (who is on the cover) is trapping scores of evangelical women in her political web. 

Apparently, they believe that she is like Queen Ester in the Old Testament or as one of her followers said when she was asked what she saw in Palin, the woman quoted Proverbs 31.  Are we meant to believe that Sarah, “chooses wool and flax and with a will sets about her work.  Like a ship laden with merchandise she brings home food from far off (particularly after she has earned thousands from her idiotic speeches).  She rises while it is still dark and apportions food for her household with a due share for her servants.  After careful thought she buys a field and plants a vineyard out of her earnings.  She sets about her duties resolutely and tackles her work with vigor.  She sees that her business goes well and all night long her lamp does not go out.  She holds the distaff in her hand and her fingers grasp the spindle.  She is open-handed to the wretched and extends help to the poor. (Has anyone ever seen her give anything to the poor) When it snows she has no fear for her household, for they are wrapped in double cloaks.  She makes her own bed coverings of fine linen and purple (I might like her better if she did this rather than roam around killing animals for fun).  Her husband is well known in the assembly, where he takes his seat with the elders in the region(only in Alaska and only because she said so). She weaves linen and sells it, and supplies merchants with sashes (I would like to see her offer a sash to the CEO of BP in consolation for causing the greatest oil spill in US history).  She is clothed in strength and dignity and can afford to laugh at tomorrow (particularly when we consider the next sentence).  When she opens her mouth, it is to speak wisely; her teaching is sound.  She keeps her eye on the conduct of her household (like her daughter’s shotgun marriage and her son-in-law’s modeling in Playgirl) and does not eat the bread of idleness (except when she got waited on hand and foot during her vice-presidential campaign)…”

Although discernment is considered a highly valued spiritual gift by the Christian community, it’s interesting and distressing that few evangelicals seem to have it. I’ve only met one fundamentalist who has it and he no longer claims to be part of that community.  Robert Tanner describes his falling out with them as well as with the Mormons in his book, Two Horns of the Devil, which you can buy on this website as well as on Amazon and Barnes and Noble..

I’ve described Sarah Palin’s Aquarian degree symbol numerous times and I’ll only repeat it here because it indicates her true nature and shows how blind these woman are who can’t see it.  This is the symbol for the 22 degree of her Sun Sign, quoted from the Zodiac Image Handbook by the Koppejans.  Under his forefeet, a furious bull is disemboweling a dog. At the right side, a man is opening up a human corpse.  Is it his victim or the subject of his pathological studies?  The writers describe the individuals that have this degree as enjoying violence and “their brutality can be as wanton as it is ferocious…the lowest version of this degree, in the pure human sign of Aquarius, takes pleasure in mutilating their victims before killing them.” Remember Glenn Beck also has this degree prominent.

Palin was a parishioner in an Alaskan church that was connected to other frightening and extremist religious movements.  One was portrayed in the documentary, Jesus Camp, where five year old children are told that they are sinners and a cardboard copy of George W. Bush stands in front of the children for them to idolize.

Sarah also has that Sun degree square delusional Neptune, which probably means that she can’t see this destructiveness in herself. However, she is able to create a gossamer web of illusion around herself and is able to pull the wool over the women’s eyes that worship her.  It is probable that many of these evangelical women either have Sun, Moon, or Mercury in stressful aspect with Neptune too.  Destructive delusion passes from one to the next and creates trouble and danger for the rest of us who have the gift of discernment and can see the truth about people like Palin.

Joran Andreas Petrus van der Sloot—a true Psychopath

Due to my Scorpio Moon and Saturn conjuncting Pluto in my 12th House I watch a lot of crime drama and sometimes I wonder how accurate the shows really are until psychopaths like Joran van der Sloot come onto the real world stage.  With his recent arrest for the murder of 21 year old Stephany Flores in Peru, perhaps justice will also finally arrive for Natalie Holloway, the Alabaman teenager who disappeared in Aruba 5 years ago to the day that Stephany Flores was found beaten and chocked to death in van der Sloot’s hotel room in Lima. 

I wasn’t able to find van der Sloot’s birth data until recently so I never did an analysis of his chart until a couple of days ago.  What an open book!  Some charts just don’t seem to fit the criminal but van der Sloot’s chart is a textbook case of obsession with violent and perverted sex.  Further, he really enjoys killing.  With his Sun (Ego) in Leo (double Ego) conjunct Venus (romantic relationships) square Pluto (dark intimidation), he enjoys the attention he gets from women and his ability to push them around and have power over them.  His Sun is also conjunct Mars (anger), which indicates that he’s a hostile son-of-a-bitch. (He now claims that his reason for killing Stephany Flores was because while he left his hotel room to get some coffee, she googled his name on his laptop and discovered that he was a suspect in Natalie Holloway’s death.  He became enraged because she invaded his privacy so he choked her and hit her with a tennis racket.  Neptune (delusion) squaring his North and South nodes, probably with the Moon in Capricorn (cold emotions) thrown in(I don’t have the birth time for his chart) indicates that he doesn’t have a clue as to what direction(north and south nodes) he wanted to take in his life and now the decision has been made for him.  He’ll spend most of the rest of his life in jail, probably in Peru.

Although I can’t find Stephany Flores’ birth data, I do have Natalie Holloway’s. The chart comparison between van der Sloot (who was arrested 2 times and let go two times for Natalie’s Holloway’s murder) and Natalie is very disturbing.  First of all, her Mars in Aquarius/square Pluto forms a t-square with his Venus/Pluto aspect.  Mars is, of course, sex and aggression and it stimulates his Venus/Pluto desire for rough perverted sexual relationships.  Her Venus(love relationships) conjunct Mercury(thinking and speaking) in Scorpio and square his Mars(anger, sex) in Leo indicates that she probably said something (Mercury) that hurt his male ego(Mars in Leo) and he retaliated by killing her. This is a chart comparison made in Hell.  Her Jupiter, the planet of good luck and spiritual protection is being blocked by his Saturn.  Obviously, once she met up with him she didn’t have a prayer.

It’s a terrible shame that Natalie knew nothing about her chart.  She could have been warned that her Mars in Aquarius square Pluto was likely to attract intimidating people and possibly death (Pluto in Scorpio) if she wasn’t discriminating.  I get extremely frustrated with this country’s negative response to astrological analysis.  So many people could have been saved from misery and death if they understood their birth chart and paid attention to their astrological cycles.

Moon in Virgo—A Good Time for More Criticism

Listen

In answer to an article in the Atlantic by Marc Ambinder: Have Conservatives Gone Mad? Yes, they have. You can’t expect the Republicans to have legitimate criticisms of the Obama Administration as the Left does because the Republicans don’t stand for anything, and they don’t want to do anything for our country. They are simply adamant about keeping their oligarchy in place. They don’t want to clean up the environment, they deny that global warming exists, they don’t want to close Gitmo, they’d like to act out their hatred and fear by proxy, hiring someone else to torture people, non-stop, forever. They don’t want to tax the rich because they are rich or like John McCain, they are married to rich. They don’t want to give health insurance to all Americans because they’ve got it, and they don’t care if anybody else has it and insurance company lobbyists buy them off. They don’t want to pass strict rules of finance because they’re in bed with the Wall Street bankers, and they want to keep making millions off their fraudulent practices. Unlike progressives and liberals, they don’t have a constructive agenda to move our country out of the economic black hole, or to give everyone a fair shake. They don’t want the rest of us to get anything at all because they’re selfish greedy little bastards. They’re selfish greedy little bastards because they are terrified of living, dying, and their indeterminate sexuality.

Moon in Virgo: A Good Time to Criticize

Things are so economically complex and confusing that even a healthy-minded intelligent person has a hard time figuring it out, let alone the dysfunctional and ignorant bumblers in this society. I’ve almost given up trying to understand what the banks did to push us into our present economic situation, myself. That’s where Glenn Beck, Sean Hannity, and Rush Limbaugh come in. They give answers to the poor mooks who have even less of a clue than I do. They cater to their fears, prejudices, and hatreds and fill their minds with lies and their own delusions and voilá the Tea Party is born. I watched a video of a Tea Party rally on Huffington Post, in which a young progressive interviewer asked some of the participants about what they didn’t like about the Obama administration. They mentioned health care. One man believed Glenn Beck when he said that everyone failing to buy health insurance would be thrown in jail. An old woman still thought there were death panels, which could decide not to give her health care because of her age. Taxes were mentioned. When the interviewer told individuals that the Obama administration had given 95% of us a tax break and taxes were at an historical low, they said they didn’t believe it. When the interviewer asked them if they knew about the 800 dollar tax credit for working households, they also denied that was true. The banks and the oligarchs are funding Fox News to lie about Obama and his administration so they can proceed with their lawless and selfish ways. The poor mooks are just being used as pathetic patsies and the rest of us are suffering because of it.

Glenn Beck

Some people may use Glenn Beck’s early dysfunctional family life as excuse for some of his misbehavior as a commentator now. His father divorced his mother due to her alcoholism and she, apparently, committed suicide by going out in a boat, jumping over board, and drowning. After he went to live with his father, his stepbrother also killed himself. Beck tried to cope by drinking Jack Daniels and smoking pot, he said, but was finally only able to control his alcoholism by attending AA meetings. Other disabilities include a diagnosis of attention deficit hyperactivity disorder and a conversion to Mormonism after being raised Catholic. 

 Despite his recovery from alcoholism, he is still haunted by those childhood patterns because as a commentator he is inflammatory, dangerous, and absurd. Inflammatory and dangerous because his commentary is a catalyst for white male rage, panic, and its subsequent acting out. Among many other inflammatory things he has said, Beck argued that President Barack Obama has repeatedly shown "a deep-seated hatred for white people or the white culture”.

Absurd because he appears to be emotionally overwrought and acutely distressed in response to what “Obama is doing to our country” but his Moon (Emotions) is in overly controlled Capricorn. Doesn’t that tell us that it’s all an act?

With Beck’s Sun conjunct Mars and Saturn in Aquarius and square Neptune in Scorpio he feels angry and repressed and probably was by a father, who was distant (Aquarius) and dismissive of his mother, Beck, and his sister. This aspect also engendered acute feelings of inadequacy. The Neptune involvement makes Beck delusional and explains his earlier use of booze as a pacifier for his angry frustration (Mars conjunct Saturn). It also explains his current delusional philosophical outlook.

He also has what I call the double helix opposition between Chiron in Pisces and Uranus conjunct Pluto in Virgo. Chiron is the wounded healer and in Pisces, Beck has had many wounds to try to recover from. I know one woman who has this opposition and she went to live with her father after a messy divorce (she didn’t get along with her mother), and then after several years he left took off with his girlfriend and left her to fend for herself when she was 15.

Beck has made several transformative steps up from the early days of his youth but he still has a long way to go. Acting as a catalyst of white male rage because of his own personal problems is not a positive contribution to society. Right now, I can’t see that he’s anything but a detriment. Maybe it’s because his Sun degree symbol is, “Under his forefeet, a furious bull is disemboweling a dog. At the right side, a man is opening up a human corpse. Is it his victim, or the subject of his pathological studies?" Maybe this disgusting symbol can also explain his recent comment that individuals should leave churches that preach "social or economic justice" because these terms indicate that the church supported Communism and Nazism.

Just like Sara Palin who was born a day after, as an Aquarius he should be making a constructive contribution to our country but, instead, he is living the life of a low-level soul, empty of real human empathy and stuck in a vicious cycle of feelings of inadequacy, hatred, and recrimination.

How Stupid Can They Get?

Were Republicans always this stupid?  It seems that they were better in the past, but when I asked my dad years ago, “Aren’t there any good ones, Dad?”  He answered, “The only good Republican is a dead one.”  I think he must have thought they were stupid too because he always liked to tell the story about the time he and my mother told me not to play with a boy that had Down’s Syndrome because he was too rough, and I asked, “What’s wrong with Johnny, is he a Republican?” (Will Sarah Palin go after me now that I’m politically incorrect and have, at least in my youth, compared the stupidity of Republicans to a kid with Downs?)

A recent poll mentioned in an article at Huffington Post doesn’t surprise any of us who’ve been watching Republican shenanigans for quite some time.  So many of the idiots polled believe that Obama is a racist, and a Socialist, and is not a citizen of this country.  Rat, a friend of mine, recently received a phone call from a right wing cousin, living in the South, who said, “Obama is so stupid.”  It’s too bad Rat couldn’t have said,” He’s one of the smartest presidents we’ve ever had in office, and you’re so stupid you can’t even see it.”  Republicans are terrified of this smart black man that makes them look like ignorant turds.

Rat also has another cousin in the South that’s a tad slow and yet he talks about Obama in the affirmative.  So it’s really not Forrest Gump stupidity at all, but something much more sinister, like fear and prejudice, which is based on fear.  These white weenies are so afraid they’re losing their hegemony to women, black, browns, or gays; they’ll believe anything they read or hear that’s derogatory about the president of the United States.

I’m tired of their Republican bullsh*t.  I wish I could feel compassion for them but they and their ilk are destroying this country.  I wish the aliens would just cart them away in their spaceship; they’ll be raptured like they’ve all been praying for.  Instead of heaven, however, they’ll be heading towards a Hell of their own choosing.  That’s how stupid they are.

Saturn Vs Uranus--Redux

Despite this astrological aspect presently waning in influence, Saturn opposing Uranus continues to create a disconnect between progressive politicians represented by Uranus and stagnating Republicans represented by Saturn. We see it, for example, in the health care debate and in the climate crisis.  The majority leader of the House, Steny Hoyer said, “The hard choices that are being forced on our country demand engagement from both parties. I'm thinking of challenges like reforming our massive entitlement programs, controlling the growth of health care spending, and responding to climate change -- issues that are fraught with political risk and so easy to demagogue that it is almost impossible for one party to take them on alone. Those challenges are dangerously likely to stay untouched as long as at least one party is willing to be a 'Party of No.”
Apparently, the two warring sides will continue to go at it until the aspect is gone in August of 2010.  At first it may seem that the stagnating Republicans are getting the upper hand because in mythology, Saturn, the son of Uranus, castrates his father and takes over his throne.  Uranus warns Saturn, however, that one of his sons will eventually dethrone him.  Despite Saturn devouring all of his children to prevent this, his wife hides one child, Jupiter aka Zeus, who is not eaten and will later usurp his father.

Too many liberals, represented by Uranus, are willing to desert Obama, who with Aquarius Rising is the midpoint of the seesaw between these two cosmic powers. Aquarius is ruled by both Uranus and Saturn.  Liberals believe that he is a disappointment because he tries to balance progressive action with some conservative restraint.  But short of a revolution (Uranus), we cannot progress without giving Saturn his due.  Interestingly enough, Obama’s Jupiter is in the sign of Aquarius while his Saturn is in Capricorn, which is ruled by Saturn (a double whammy).  Should Obama simply accept the role of Uranus (Revolution), he will certainly be overthrown by the Republicans, as represented by Saturn.  Many people are terrified of change (Uranus), despite our present desperate situation and will do everything to stop it (Saturn).  On the other hand, those voters who long for a progressive messiah who will immediately change everything to their liking are not being realistic and are setting us up for failure.

Eventually, if we don’t destroy the planet in the meantime, we will find a solution to global warming, resolve the issues with heath care, create an economic and social environment where there is no longer a divide between the haves and have nots, black and white, or gays and straights.  While Obama is neither the Messiah nor the Anti-Christ, he is the Rainbow Bridge that will connect us to the Aquarian Age as well as to the next cosmic cycle starting in 2012 prophesized by the Mayans centuries ago.

The US Economy

November 5, 2009

Economists say we’ve got the worst economy since the Great Depression.  Astrologers confirm their assumption by noting a similar planetary configuration now as then.  In the 1930s, Saturn was opposing Pluto.  In November of 2009, Saturn is now squaring Pluto.  Both oppositions and squares can create havoc. In the 1930s, Uranus in Aries was part of a T square with Saturn and Pluto.  In 2009 Saturn was opposing Uranus but there was no aspect with Pluto.  Unfortunately, in August of 2010 we’ll see Uranus in Aries again as it was over eighty years ago and in a t-square with Saturn and Pluto.  The second Great Depression is not over yet. 

Breaking the planetary aspects down in the US chart tells the story.

Pluto is in the 8th House of the National Debt, taxes, credit, corporate finances, insurance, loans, and death.  Pluto= corporations, catastrophes, death, and financial mergers.  Pluto in the 8th house is a double whammy. There has been a catastrophe (Pluto) created in credit and financial markets, including insurance, which has forced the Federal Government to create over a trillion dollars in debt to help make these financial markets solvent. 

Pluto is presently opposing Venus in the 2nd House of Personal Finances.  The money spent on the financial markets (Pluto in the 8th House) has come into direct conflict with the money needed to make US households solvent.   This is also indicative of credit card Companies (8th House) creating more hardship for the American consumer, by raising interest rates and reducing the amount of credit, and making credit much more difficult to come by. This Pluto opposing Venus aspect is also affecting the 6th House of Employment, Unions and Health matters, hindering job creation, and creating blocks to resolving the Health Care issue.

Saturn is in the Fifth House of Speculation and the Stock Market. Saturn=Loss, conservatism, and contraction.  It is square (conflict, stress) to Pluto in the 8th house of credit and corporate finances.  Although the Stock Market has recovered somewhat I wouldn’t bet the farm with this aspect now coming into affect.  With Saturn squaring Venus in the Second House of personal finance, I would advise that the average American investor be very careful about risky investments in the stock market.

There has been lots of collateral damage from these extremely stressful planetary aspects affecting the economy.  While Saturn has been creating losses in the Stock Market as it has traveled through the 5th House, it also indicates that children, also ruled by the 5th House, have suffered grivous losses.  Children have been murdered and kidnapped, often by men that have lost their jobs and can find no employment.  Whole families have been slaughtered.  Recent news has said that 50 percent of the nation’s children are now receiving food stamps. 

With Saturn (conservatism) ruling the 9th House of Religion and publically expressed thoughts, right wing religious groups as well as right wing TV and radio personalities like Glenn Beck, and Rush Limbaugh or politicians like Sarah Palin, have become even more vocal and ugly, particularly since Obama was elected.

While Saturn was going through Virgo in the last couple of years, it had been opposing Uranus in Pisces creating a bitter battle between conservatives (Saturn) and Progressives (Uranus).  With Uranus in the 11th house of the Congress, Uranus won out in last year’s election, ushering in a majority of Democrats.  However, this fight will continue when Saturn travels back into Virgo next year. 

Meanwhile, Uranus is now opposing Neptune which is in the 5th house of the stock market and speculation.  We said that Uranus in the 11th house of Congress has created a band of progressives that are trying to change (Uranus) the US trajectory as far as health care, global warming, green technology, and gays in the military go.  Neptune rules drugs (illegal and pharmaceuticals).  A conflict between the pharmaceutical industry and the progressives in Congress has been confusing the health care initiatives.  Senator Lieberman, for example, has said he won’t vote for the health care bill if it includes a public option.  Lieberman, a Pisces, a Neptune ruled sign, is under the thumb of Big Pharma due to monies received from same.  His wife is also to blame for his disgraceful lack of support for the public option. She works for this sleazy Neptunian industry.

Is there anything mitigating these disastrous aspects? 

Uranus has been making a positive trine aspect to Mercury in the 3rd house of media (including the internet).  Although newspapers have taken a hit, innovative, progressive blogs and websites (Uranus) have helped the American people see the truth.  This aspect may also help support rail as a excellent mode of transportation.

Jupiter has been traveling through the 10th House of government and our national prestige.  Since Obama has been elected, people around the world have changed their tune about Americans and they are back to looking at our country with admiration.  Jupiter is now in Aquarius but when it travels into Pisces in January of 2010, it will begin its positive march towards a trine aspect with Venus, Jupiter and the Sun in the Second House of Money lifting our economy, and hopefully mitigating the sorry aspects of Pluto which will continue to oppose the other Second House planets as it is doing now.  Since Jupiter will still be in the 10th house of the government and the Chief Executive, it is up to Obama to create a job program similar to the WPA to significantly alter the disastrous personal finances of the American public.

It is obvious that these Pluto aspects are calling for a transformation of our entire economy.  Death of the old free market corporate economy and rebirth of a new one that supports a progressive vision and lifestyle for all of our citizens could be on the horizon.  If the stressful Plutonian energies can be used to motivate our society into positive transformation, we’ll all be much better off.   If we are intimidated and refuse to vote wisely like voters in New Jersey and Virginia did on November 4th, we will certainly reap a malignant harvest.  Remember it was George Bush who got us into this disgusting mess and it certainly won’t be a Republican to get us out of it.

Saturn in Libra

 

It’s a big deal when Saturn changes signs and that happened October 29 when it traveled into Libra.  It will remain in Libra for 2.5 years with a short hiatus in 2010 when it starts retrograding back into Virgo for about 3 months, beginning in April.  The Mutable Signs, Gemini, Virgo, Sagittarius, and Pisces will be getting a well earned break.  Saturn in Virgo has been pretty tough on some of us, particularly with regards to work and health.  Now it will be the Cardinal Signs’, Aries, Cancer, Libra, and Capricorn’s turn to suffer the slings and arrows from this difficult planetary energy.  Saturn in Libra indicates that for the next couple of years, there will be lessons to be learned with regards to relationships.  If we fail to pay attention to a weakness in this area of our lives, Saturn will hone in on our Achilles heels.  Libra wants to be fair and balanced and Saturn will make sure we follow through.

For Aries, relationships should take priority.  Responsibilities must be considered when getting involved with any relationship.  You may enter into long term partnerships during the next 2.5 years.  Taurus may find that work becomes harder and that there are responsibilities and issues around fellow employees.  It’s also a good idea to pay attention to your health.  Gemini may find that relationships with lovers and children take on more responsibilities, while there could be losses with gambling or in the stock market.  Cancer finds that home and family attracts more responsibilities.  Be circumspect about buying property during this time.  Leo needs to focus on relationships with siblings.  This is also a good time for serious study.  Virgo will be paying attention to finances while Libra may find that health matters most of all.  Get a check-up, eat a healthy diet.  Scorpio may spend more time by themselves and find that they have insecurities about their marriage or partnership.  Sagittarius might get more involved with friends, or decide they don’t want to bother due to too many responsibilities.  Capricorns will reach the pinnacle of their career and/or take on more concerns in their public life.  Aquarius may find that traveling is more difficult but it’s a good time to take up the responsibility of higher education.  Pisces needs to analyze their sexual relationships, their attitudes towards death, and realize that joint finances bring responsibilities.

Robert Novak: Sour Political Commentator and Writer

Listen

Robert Novak died this week. I know somebody must have loved him, and is sad to see him go but I’m not.

I first heard of Robert Novak over twenty years ago when my dad referred to him and his co-host, Rowland Evans, of the Evans and Novak interview show, as the most sour men on television. Knowing my father’s hatred of Richard Nixon, I was astounded that he’d found someone more disagreeable than tricky Dicky. Over the years and after Evans died, Bob Novak continued to grow more miserable every time I saw him. He was so surly and unpleasant, I found it almost impossible to watch him on Crossfire. Most Pisces I’ve met are compassionate and sensitive but he wasn’t or didn’t seem to be. Then again, he only had one Pisces planet, his Sun sign. There was also his Gemini Moon. Talk, talk, babble on, he often put his foot in his mouth, like the time he outed Valerie Plame’s covert agent status in the CIA in one of his newspaper columns.

He had other dreary aspects like Venus(love) conjunct Saturn(limitations) in Capricorn. Talk about standing cold in a blizzard with regards to love and relationships, probably activated by a cold relationship (Venus) with his father (Saturn). Further, this conjunction was in a grand cross with Uranus, the Nodes of the Moon, and Pluto. He probably remained loyal to his wife with the Venus/Saturn complex, but Uranian energy wanted him to break free and may have even given him a desire for a homosexual liaison. With the Venus/Pluto opposition, he certainly wanted to go over to the dark side, at least once in awhile. Maybe that’s why he was so surly and acidic. Repressing sexual energies generally produces a dangerous and unpleasant individual.

He had an unaspected Mars in Cancer. Very touchy, and easily annoyed, he had no outlet for his acerbic personality accept through his poison pen and words. He did have a Sun trine Jupiter, which gave him good luck in his career. I suspect there were times when he was generous, enthusiastic, and warm, particularly with his family since Jupiter was in Cancer. However, he had the standard conservative Sun/Neptune aspect. While this one doesn’t make a person politically conservative as much as it clouds his/her vision and makes them delusional, many Republican operatives, just like our last president have this Sun/Neptune complex, and it has created a lot of problems for the rest of us. Although the US chart doesn’t have this aspect, it does have a Mars/Neptune square, which deludes the men in this country about their so-called masculinity. Combine that particular energy pattern with the Sun/Neptune complex of the right wing politicians, and we have an entire political party and its commentators inhabiting fantasyland.

Isn’t it ironic that Erik Prince chose Blackwater as a name for his evil business, which supplies murderous mercenaries in Iraq? Moreover, isn’t it apropos that this Prince of Darkness is now being accused of murder or facilitating the murder of individuals who were working with federal officials investigating Blackwater?

Two individuals have come forward to rat on Prince to legal authorities. Only identified as John Doe, #1, and John Doe #2, their stories cannot be corroborated by The Nation magazine in which this article on Prince appeared. However, their sworn statements are strong indictments of Prince and his company.

Aug 6--Moon in Aquarius

I’ve failed to keep a running commentary on the political situation for several months now. Partly because Psychic Chuck and I’ve been ill with a long-standing virus, I’ve been unable to stomach (literally) the Republicans’ frantic attempts to discredit Obama and destroy everything he is trying to accomplish. They have no heart for the country. They just want Obama to fail so they can get back in power. I’m so sick of them and they are so disgusting, I haven’t been able to take the energy and time to write about them. Our individual lives and our country’s life are filled with danger and these political beasts with their Sun/Neptune delusion, cannot see it. Other delusional people misinterpret the danger and some of them blame it on our president because he is black.
