Sept 2008 transits to US natal chart

With the 7th anniversary of the attacks of 9/11/01 being tomorrow, here's America's natal chart (Sibly version, July 4, 1776, Philadelphia; 5:10 pm LMT) and I've added a few transits triggering our nation's natal Saturn, Mercury, Sun, and Pluto this month.

Around the outside of the chart you see highlighted in yellow transit Mars in natal 10th house of Public Status, and transit Jupiter in natal 7th house of Partnerships, Legal Affairs, and Open Enemies.


Here's the list - the Sept 8 transit is past but I'm including it because it's part of our September atmosphere:

Sept 8 Mars square Sun: willpower and physical actions are frustrated; feelings are touchy as others encroach on one's territory, yet the desire for personal accomplishment is strong; tensions between male colleagues or co-workers; hastiness can delay success; patience is needed.

Sept 11 Mars conjunct Saturn: constant obstacles in the path slow things down even as we're required to hurry - blockages may be self-created; positively we become more focused, organized, and efficient; someone with maturity and experience is given more credence; careful plans are made; imposed rules may be difficult to accept or live by.

~Because 9/11's Mercury is conjunct US natal Saturn in Libra, this transit of Mars-to-natal-Saturn also conjuncts 9/11's Mercury rising, so we have Mercury/ASC = Mars: negotiations, discussions; emphasizing one's own ideas; realizing one's plans; deciding on the best course of action with advisers; quarrels; and...

Sept 11 - Mars to 9/11's Mercury: thoughts turn easily into actions; energized thinking; life's pace quickens, communications increase and may become chaotic; verbal combat within the environment; meetings, discussions; sales and commercial transactions pick up; people drive too fast!~

Back to the US chart:

Sept 19 Mars opposite Chiron: the sacred warrior archetype in the collective is spiritualized, activated; we may hear injustices mentioned and America's warrior energy is stimulated. (Campaign-wise this more than likely relates to John McCain and/or to the US military, and possibly to missionary churches.)

Also natal Chiron is conjunct natal Sun/Pluto midpoint so we have...

Sun/Pluto = Mars: a desire to perform record achievements; overtaxing one's powers; ruthlessness; fanaticism; enormous drive; carving new perspectives (all midpoint pics: Tyl; Ebertin.)

Sept 25 Mars square Mercury: tempers flare; arguments with males; new work methods result in frustration or delay; wrong directions given; bad weather interrupts.

Sept 30 Mars square Pluto: revenge and jealousy may be motivations behind actions; power struggles; past obstacles and mistakes must be overcome before progress can be made; anger present but if transformed positively much can be accomplished.

Sept 30 Jupiter opposite Sun: this one I've blurbed about before but with Jupiter's cycle being 12 years, this is thankfully the last pass for a while...

material assets are depleted by circumstances; generosity benefits the wrong people or is wasted in worthless endeavors; those who want to help are rendered powerless; those with grandiose ideas or promises of success are not able to deliver; victories, if there are any, compromise principles; only a conservative and constructive way of working around issues will succeed.


Mars square Pluto (the power principle - including nuclear weapons -but Pluto also signifies publishers and the massively wealthy), plus, the last pass of Jupiter-opposite natal-Sun makes Sept 30 stand out, IMHO.

So! has the Fannie Mae-Freddie Mac bailout/seizure/take-over been conservative enough or is it a case of worthless endeavor, grandiose ideas, and generosity benefiting the wrong people as Jupiter-opposite-Sun describes?

What do you think?

Concerning the various U.S. Foundation charts, including the "Sibley" chart

Looked at your Sibley chart and saw that it is different from the "Sibley" charts published by Astrodienst and also in an old book I have (which you probably also have), The United States, Wheel of Destiny, by Diana Bills Stone (1976, American Federation of Astrologers.)

Her book discusses the various charts, including another one which you have featured, "Scorpio rising," which is a 2 PM chart for July 4, 1776.

The difference in 12 Sag rising and 8 Sagittarius rising depends on if you are using "Local Mean time), or "Eastern Standard time."

I think the 12 Sadge rising chart is the one preferred by Dane Rudhyar.....which he insists (and you seem to like also--and so do I). There is a big difference in delineating mundane events ......depending on which chart you use, because the ASC and the MC points are quite different, especially the Midheaven.

Is the GOAL, public point, 0 Libra...or 26 Virgo.......

Then there is the 'traditional' chart, beloved of many astrologers...the 2:17AM chart for the 4th of July 1776, which is the famed "Gemini rising chart." I know that some astrologers who were practicing during WWII like this one especially because it ties in well with events such as Pearl Harbor.

How so? Well, don't ask just yet...I'm going to try to re-read Diana Bills Stone's book. Because it was published in 1976, she was concerned with "Pluto in Scorpio"....and she notes that PLuto serves as a 'benchmark of world consciousness.' A whole lot...lets say, lots and lots....of this book involves Masons and Masonry, so it sounds like something right up your alley.

(PS That was not a reference to bowling, but that does sound like a good thing to do on a Friday night....something to get away from all of this bookishness..)

PS2 - Let's get back to some old time reglion in our chart analysis...lets just look at the natals for the Pres, VP candidates and compare them with Election Day - using 7am November 4, 2008 (amazing that that is the exact day for the Saturn-Uranus opposition...exact to the MINUTE of 18Pisc57 v 18Virgo57.....and then of course the "Inauguration Chart"...the two most obvious things of course being Void of Course Moon at 29 Scorpio and Mercury Retrograde.
