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.

Aquarius
January 19 to February 18

 

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.

Jupiter in Pisces
January 17-June 5

As Jupiter travels into Pisces on Sunday, January 17th, the transition period from Aquarius has been marked by an outpouring of aid to Haiti from all over the world.  Pisces is the sign of the underdog and Haiti has been an underdog country for almost two centuries.  During the next year while Jupiter is traveling through this sign, there should be more help for the downtrodden and poorest among us.  At least we’ll have the opportunity to help those in need because most of us will feel more compassionate.

Jupiter creates expansion and greater opportunity as well as excess. It also is the planet of travel, higher education, and publishing. There will be a turning to religion for some, while others will increase their spiritual interests.  Music and other artistic self-expression will be important, particularly if it expresses a spiritual theme or helps the less fortunate.  Concerts to raise money for Haiti are a good example of Jupiter in Pisces energy.

While Jupiter is in Pisces, we’ll have to watch for emotional overload and losing our boundaries.  It’s always important to balance our enthusiasm with reality or we’re sure to be disappointed if things don’t work out as we want them to.

For the next year, Aries will find that spending more time by themselves and doing spiritual work may be to their advantage.    Taurus can benefit if they expand their friendships and work with humanitarian groups.  Geminis can expand their careers, adding service to the disadvantaged to their résumé.  Their careers may also involve traveling or publishing.  Cancer may find traveling and/or higher education expansive while Leo will gain advantage through partner’s or other people’s resources, as well as a possible inheritance.  There may be more sexual opportunities.  Virgo will expand their partnerships, clients, or possibly get married. Libras will gain protection for their health and they’ll find more opportunities in the work place.  Scorpios will find that they expand through activities and time spent with children, lovers, and hobbies.  Sagittarians benefit through property and their homes.  This is a good time to buy a house.   Capricorns finds that they are more interested in spending time with siblings, and/or neighbors.  Aquarians will benefit financially as long as they don’t overspend.  For Pisces, it’s the year to really come out of their shell.  My Pisces friend, Paddy, for example, told me yesterday that she was looking for ways to bring a little happiness into other people’s lives this year.

Capricorn
December 21—January 19

All Capricorns like to be in control and those on the lover level will become dictatorial to maintain it, rationalizing that they know what is best for the group. 
Capricorns are a community sign and are interested in what works for a community on the materialistic level. Capricorns are pragmatic and dislike being emotional (because emotions make them feel out of control), although they will sometimes tolerate feelings in others.  Capricorns like organization and they’re ambitious.  They feel guilty if they don’t take responsibility.  Few Capricorns feel comfortable just leading a couch potato life and feel that they must accomplish something important. 

According to Alan Oken in his book, Soul Centered Astrology, lower level Capricorns, however, have a “total attachment to the physical plane”.  “Life seems like a constant uphill battle and it is.”  These low life Capricorns, like Richard Nixon and Joseph Stalin are motivated by fear.  Oken goes on to say that self-seeking creates further karmic debts, “until the bricks turn into boulders and the Capricorn collapses under the weight.”  Once the ego is torn, a glimmer of light can penetrate the hard packed earth and a ray of light awakens the unconscious heart.  A higher level Capricorn begins to see the spiritual value within the forms of life.  Whereas before Capricorn was just concerned with money and status, now she or he is interested in taking on responsibility so they can help others.  On the highest level Capricorn is able to manifest the Light of the Spirit into the Material World and become the representative on a community level for it.

January is the best month for getting ourselves organized for the rest of the year.  Starting our exercise programs, dumping possessions that we no longer need, organizing our homes, beginning to actualize our ambitions and learning how to detach ourselves ultimately from a fixation on a material level so we can bring light into our communities are all worthwhile goals.

With the month of Capricorn, Aries will be focused on its career and relationship to authority while Taurus will be more interested in religion and spiritual perspectives (as long as their pragmatic).  Taurus will also be interested in foreign travel and higher learning.  Gemini will be focused on sex, other people’s resources and feelings, and their attitudes towards death.  Cancer will focus on relationships while Leo will be focused on health and its working environment. Virgo will be enjoying hobbies, lovers, and children as well as creative projects. Libra will be focused in the home and with family members.  It’s a good time for them to do some house renovations.  Scorpio will be interested in siblings, neighbors and do more short distance traveling. For Sagittarians, money and the state of their finances will be important, while Capricorn will be more visible this month, being active and asserting themselves.  Aquarius will be in retreat, trying to gather their energies for their astrological year which begins next month while Pisces is interested in being practical about displaying its compassion and working on a community level.

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.

Sagittarius
Nov 21--Dec 21

Sagittarians are outgoing and friendly people, full of enthusiasm about almost every one and every thing. They are particularly interested in religion and foreign cultures. They are philosophical, willing to view the bright side of life, unless he or she is an introverted native of that sign.  When a Sagittarius turns inward, the cynical side becomes more pronounced; the bumbling cynic can be the result, ala Woody Allen.

A low level Sagittarian is impractical, goes to extremes, and is irresponsible and undisciplined.  They don’t want to be pinned down so they have a hard time maintaining relationships.  They are a law onto themselves. Alan Oken in Soul Centered Astrology says, “The urge to increase experience without having a structure or inner truth to guide such expansion leads one into a great diffusion of energy.”  Despite his beautiful voice, the rock singer, Jim Morrison, was a good example of a lower level Sagittarian, along with General George Custer, and Brittany Spears.

According to Oken, a higher end Sag begins to merge with the higher mind and through it, serves humanity.  This higher knowledge merges with Earthly experiences to become wisdom. He or She then becomes a visionary and a prophet.  Even higher side Sagittarians need to learn to control their blunt speech if they don’t want to offend everyone they come into contact with.  A good example of a higher level Sagittarian is Pope John, XXIII, and the wonderful writer, Madeleine L’Engle.

The month of Sagittarius is generally optimistic and upbeat despite the possible bad weather.  It’s a good time for travel, spending more time in the outdoors.
For Aries, Sagittarius is a good time for higher education and travel, associations with foreigners, approaching publishers and publicly expressing your thoughts.  For Taurus, sexual issues, use of other people’s resources and joint resources, working on taxes, contemplating death or getting an inheritance may all come up in late November and December.  Gemini is thinking about partnerships during this time, wondering if they have the ability to commit themselves to any one relationship.  For Cancer it’s time for work related and health issues to come into focus, while Leo likes to rock out and have fun with children in late November and December.  Virgo likes to spend time in the home during the month of Sagittarius and finds that family issues are more important.  Libras may find themselves traveling more and associating more with siblings and neighbors, while Scorpio finds that economic issues come to the surface and need to be dealt with.  This is the time for Sagittarius to shine, to put themselves forward, to be jolly and outgoing while for Capricorn, it’s time to withdraw and to celebrate the Christmas season in a more contemplative manner.  For Aquarius, it’s a good month for group associations, spending more time with friends, concerning themselves with humanitarian concerns.  Pisces will find themselves in the public more and working on their career.

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.

Scorpio
Oct 22—Nov 21

First of all, it’s often a struggle being a Scorpio. The emotional energy is so intense for good or ill that it can be difficult to cope with. Sexual desire is a major issue for those of us who have Scorpio planets.  Much of life is spent learning how to use this biological drive and physical pleasure constructively.  Scorpio planets can make us feel vindictive when wronged, possessive when threatened, and enraged when thwarted.  That’s the lower level Scorpion who can sting itself and others with its destructive emotions.  Those of us with Scorpio planets will often attract situations that force us to let go of these damaging emotions.  Death and abandonment are issues that will often compel us to transform our personalities and put the light on the dark parts.

We’ve got to move on, however, and become the higher level Eagle that uses what it has learned about transforming the dark side to help others do the same. The task, however, even for the eagle, is to break free of the chains of desire.  The highest level Scorpion, according to Alan Oken in Soul Centered Astrology “bursts forth aflame with inner radiance and abundant healing and magnetic powers.  The unity of the lower and higher selves has been achieved.”  As the phoenix who rises from the ashes of the desires of the personality, the individual is the “embodiment of love winning out over adversity, harmony arising out of unavoidable conflict and the resurrection of the life force through a totally dedicated and Self-conscious human being.” 

Scorpio is the time of year for facing the reality of death, for working on psychological and spiritual transformation, for looking into sexual issues, for dealing with joint finances as well as debts and other people’s resources.

The Sun being in Scorpio affects the 12 signs in the following ways:  If you’re an Aries, you are intensely affected by Scorpio because it means that your 8th house of sex and death is being highlighted.  This is the time to face sexual issues or matters of death, and joint resources.  For Taurus, this is the time to work on intense relationship issues as the Scorpio Sun moves through the Seventh House of Relationships. Dealing with possessiveness and jealousy may be a priority. Gemini will be facing intense work issues, particularly with co-workers or health matters will come into focus as the House of Work and Health are highlighted. Cancer will find that relationships with children and lovers are more important. Leo may have intense experiences with family members because Scorpio rules the House of home and family. For Virgo, Scorpio energy is highlighted with siblings, neighbors.  This is usually the time that Virgo likes to express this intense energy with research and writing since Scorpio rules its House of Communications. Libra spends more of its time with money matters and while it’s Scorpio’s turn for putting themselves forward. This may hard for some Scorpios to do because they are secretive and like to keep a low profile.  Sagittarius has a tendency to withdraw and generally has to face the bogeyman this time of year because Scorpio rules the House of vulnerabilities and isolation. Capricorn is focusing on groups and friendships during this period, while it’s Aquarius’ time to put the focus on career issues. For Pisces this is the time of year for long distance traveling, focusing on higher education and the spiritual life, for publicly expressing your thoughts.

LIBRA
September 22 –October 22

 

Libra is the sign of the balance and its main thrust in life is to deal equitably in human relationships.  It is often considered wishy-washy because it has a hard time making decisions; it is always trying to balance two sides of any question.  Higher level Libras are the best diplomats and ombudsmen because they can always see another person’s perspective, trying to smooth over difficulties in relationships.  Lower level Libras still have a focus on relationships but they can’t seem to get along in one.  They are rarely diplomatic, often acting in a gauche manner.  My higher level Libra friends always seem to cooperate, to think of my needs as well as their own.  They are kind and supportive.  The lower level Libras I’ve met are rude and are dense about relationships, so much lower in consciousness from the higher level natives.  Lower levels are struggling to make the transition from personal wants and needs to understanding and promoting Right Human Relations as Alan Oken puts it in his book, Soul Centered Astrology.  According to Oken, Libra’s keyword phrase is Let Choice be Made.  There is a tension in Libra he says of opposing forces needing harmony and balance.  This is the battle between the lower and the higher selves.  It is here that Libra is tested and right judgment and proper use of love are cultivated.

When the Sun is in Libra our focus should be relationships:  How to approach them from a balanced perspective.  How to be fair and equitable.  We can also spend time beatifying our surroundings.

Relationships and marriage will be a primary focus for Aries this month as the sign of the ram can be generally too self-centered and me first.  For Taurus the Libra month is a time to contemplate relationships in the working environment, as well as supporting justice and fairness for fellow employees.  The Libra month is Gemini’s time to relax and have some fun, to pursue hobbies, enjoying time with loved ones and children.  Cancer will be exploring relationships with family members and beautifying their homes. Leo will realize that the give and take in conversation is more interesting than dominating it, will be making more short distance trips with partners, focusing on relationships with siblings and neighbors.  Virgo will be spending the Libra month exploring their financial situation and coming to an equitable solution for money difficulties with partners.  For Libra this is their time for putting themselves forward, for hogging some of the limelight for themselves instead of always sharing it with someone else.  Scorpio’s hibernation time is during the month of Libra.  They feel more vulnerable, particularly with regards to their relationships and need this month to sort things out.  Sagittarius likes to meet up with friends and participate in groups in late September and into October while Capricorn will be paying more attention to career issues and relationships with authority figures.  Aquarians may be traveling or focusing on higher education while Pisces will be paying more attention to sexual issues in relationships, questions about death and joint resources.

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.

Psychic Vera's Diary

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.
