Get Your US Constitution While Ya Can

Well, here is the natal chart for the US Constitution. She favors her mum'n'dad, doncha think?


Images for Sun Vir/Moon Sag: a bespectacled librarian locks the door and transforms into Superwoman...an anthropology class goes on a field trip.

Greatest Strengths: Understanding and improving life is what you're all about; fine intellect; ingenuity and perception of essentials; realism + optimism; ready to help, serve, and guide.

Greatest Weaknesses: desire for "reasonable" answers in the face of human suffering; lack of empathy which tends to judge those who appear to live without guiding ideals; moral certitude.

Her secondary progressed chart for Feb 2006--

Images for Sun Tau/Moon Sag: a monk* builds a cathedral whilst contemplating the infinite reaches of the universe...the prodigal son returns to the home farm...Balzac's La Comedie humaine...Brahm's Violin Concerto.

Greatest Strengths: common sense + inventive imagination; enthusiasm + practical politics; a good, but sometimes wild, business sense; inspired flair + a matter of fact realism...(similar to her natal abilities, for now anyway...is there a ray of hope that she'll survive?)

Greatest Weaknesses: infuriating unreliability just when you seem to have mended your restless ways (uh-oh); reluctance to be tied down; instability (ugh and then some.)

An interesting and/or worrisome note: her Solar Arc Pluto (Solar Arc directed is where all planets and points are moved forward 1 degree for each year since birth--she was 218 years old last September, so 218 degrees, then compare to natal or progr'd charts for conjunctions, etc)...SA Pluto (23Vir05) to natal Sun (24Vir39) =

powerful force creates major change; identity transformation; sudden prominence.

That'll be exact about a year from now, and the wheels are now in motion, as we know.
(SA Pluto crossed her natal Mc in 2001, and you'll remember a transformative experience that year. And what Pluto transforms is never again the same, plus Pluto crossing a chart's angle is a major occurrence.)

Another icky conjunction is from SA Mars in a couple of years--SA Mars to natal Pluto...extreme force; persuasion; control; brutality; excessive effort. (Mars combined with Pluto also has a zealous influence, as if the world needs more o'that.)

>>Shout-Out to expert astrologer and Jungian psychologist, Dr Noel Tyl, for Solar Arc info. Noel has also championed Quindecile aspect analysis (165 degress = an aspect of obsession-compulsion.) He's author of many weighty books on astrology, including one on medical astrology you might wish to wade through, if you dare!

Now some would call this a side note, but I think the midpoint of heavyweights Saturn and Pluto should be watched at all times. In recent days, and ongoing a while longer, their transiting midpoint has been hanging out around 17Lib+, which, if you will notice, is sitting just upon natal Neptune--and these are always a difficult trio for sure.

Sat/Plu = Nep: lies; fraud; falsehoods; secret desire to harm others; danger through water, poison, or gas. (Sounds like Wednesday when Senators' offices had to be evacuated because 'nerve gas' was suspected.)

(BTW--tr Sat/Plu will soon be upon George Bush's natal Jup 18Lib09...Sat/Nep = Jup: religious/social fanaticism; difficulties caused through illness; sacrifice; trouble with authority; trying to save what's left...

...plus, Sat/Plu is still affecting Bush's natal Moon 16Lib42: rigidity or coldness of feeling; a tragic destiny; renunciation. So with tr Saturn on natal Asc and about to bowl over his Mercury, Pluto, and Venus--in first house of Self--it's already a bumpy ride getting bumpier for Mr Bush, and sadly, for America, as I've previously stated.)

But back to US Constitution: transit Neptune now at the Unmasking degree, has been bouncing between natal Pluto (14AQ12) and progr'd Pluto (17AQ35) for some time now...Neptune to Pluto =

unusual problems; possible concerns about death matters; peculiar experiences; creative enterprises.

And you may have noticed that US Constitution is just before having sec prog'd Moon conjunct natal Moon--the closing of one era or cycle and the beginning of a new one, and relating to the populace...which means that progr'd Moon is at the same degree as natal Moon, thereby emphasizing it. (Her progr'd Sun 3Tau32 is conj the Discovery Degree of Chiron, I might add. Just did..."4Tau" = "Rainbow's pot of gold.")

The Sabian Symbol (DR's version) for her Moon, "5Sag" = "An old owl sits alone on the branch of a large tree."

Sounds plenty smart enough, and one-of-kind...let's hope she doesn't lose her poise and fall off.

Keynote: a poised and wise approach to existence based on a clear perception of unconscious factors and their operation. (The 'Greatest Weaknesses' above would fit into the 'unconscious' category.)

Ah hah! Well, we know someone was wise when they wrote and birthed her--now let's see if we can keep her in her place high above America, shall we?

*If we're talkin' "monk", it reminds me of John Paul's call for the NWO, and oddly enough, of presidential hopeful Sam Brownback's conversion to Catholicism two or three years ago. "A little bit funny this feeling inside" when you consider our newly catholicized Supreme Court, huh? -jc

Bush Can Too Spy, Says Roberts

Senate Intelligence Committe Chairman, Pat Roberts, wrote a 19-page letter upholding Bush's snooping ability...touting Bush's inherent power under the Constitution.

Bringing George Washington back from his grave to bolster Bush's position, Roberts said that presidents from Geo Washington to GWB have intercepted communications to ascertain enemy threats to national security. Poor George--and he was resting so well.

It's not the protection of national security at issue--no sane American denies it needs protecting--it's what ELSE George, with his power obsession and his win-at-any-cost mentality might do with such draconian privileges.

Bush's use of the politics-of-personal-destruction mixed with his inability to face his critics straightforwardly--and the fact that he HAS so many critics--forms more the ugly image of a greedy ideologue protecting his turf (in tandem with legitimate national security efforts), more than a picture of a valiant, "homeland"-protecting commander-in-chief.

Sheeple who believe this goose-stepping, 19-page, heil of allegiance, will one day wish they'd paid more attention.

Perhaps I should resurrect Washington myself--publish his natal chart and see what's shaking with it. Out-of-town company about to arrive, so I'll have to do it over the weekend...it could be very illuminating concerning present circumstances, so stay tuned!

Seeing Shadows

Punxsutawney George ought to be seeing his about now.

If any other CEO had flubbed as much as he's flubbed, his golden parachute would be a handkerchief tied to a stick and stockholders would be pushing him from the plane.

Dueling T-Shirts Over America

Just before the State of the Union Address began last evening, Cindy Sheehan was ejected in handcuffs--being the ruffian she is--from the gallery for wearing a T-shirt that read, "2245 Dead: How Many More?". Seems a fair question, but I guess not.

I'm sure the Bush Team wouldn't approve of having a camera light upon Ms Sheehan's bossomy question, ya think? But if only side-lined Tom DeLay had been wearing a T-shirt for the event (how about the formerly popular, "I'm With Stupid"?)... he might've garnered more limelight.

Here's her natal chart surrounded by the Address Chart...with Bush's actual start time of 9:12 pm--wonder if he held back to make sure Ms Sheehan, and Beverly Young
(wife of Rep C W Bill Young of FL--Repub!) who was also ejected, were out of his hair and sight range? I thought he was suspiciously late starting.

(Mrs Young was ejected as Bush was speaking about our troops, and her "offensive"
T-shirt said, "Support Our Troops Defending Our Freedom". Seems odd that the Bush Team is against ALL T-shirts, or perhaps just ALL bossoms that compete for our attention to George's message. Some folk think it would've been an improvement. We knew before last night that Bush can't compete unless the playing field is slanted his way...apparently he can't fight his way out of a T-shirt either.)

So here is Ms Sheehan's North Node (NN = a meeting or joining point) being contacted by Jupiter, the moneybags, judge, big guy of the zodiac. And her natal Jupiter is rising as the speech begins...Jupiter expands, of course, and Jup/Asc = desire to be of importance in the world. (Well, none of my state Reps gave Me a ticket, now did they?)

Mercury is just about to contact her wound, Chiron--wounded communications, or communcations about the wound. (Mercury's orbit is about one year, so this happens once a year to all of us as Mercury contacts all our planets.) Her right to speak out--even with a T-shirt message--was wounded, all right.

And at the top of the chart, in full sight of the world, is transit Saturn (control; restriction; loss) who is, and has been recently, visiting her Uranus, planet of freedom and rebellion. Saturn's orbit is about 28-30 years long, so we all get his visitations upon our planets/chart points at least a couple of times, if we last that long...three times if we live to a ripe old age. And this conj of Saturn to her Uranus is also Saturn's conjunction to Bush's natal Asc, previously posted upon...a low point in the life when past chickens--or in his case, chickenhawks--come home to roost. So Cindy's Uranus, also called, The Awakener, has been trying to wake up George's chickenhawks to their true responsibility for his past actions!

>>Saturn to natal Uranus = circumstances conspire to restrict personal independence and freedom. Unorthodox methods do not meet with enthusiasm, and may be rejected completely by those who insist on more structure and tradition. Group endeavors are apt to be bogged down by red tape and delays, but the key is not to give up--you may be given more responsibilities in group projects.

No brainer: Cindy won't be giving up, Mr Saturn, Mr Man!

As you know, Bush cleared outta Dodge this morning to continue the catapultin'. Hope Nashville holds his tootsies to the fire of truth just as Cindy Sheehan continues to do...probably fat chance.

And today's GAO report blames this administration for its miserable Katrina response, or the lack thereof. That'll give Bush something to stew over while kickin' back at the "ranch" this weekend. Wonder what T-shirt he'll be wearin'?
"I'm the Culprit"? "Hollow Legacy"? Or how about "Cindy Doesn't Speak for Me"?
