Mozart to the World!

Listening now to the Metropolitan Opera's broadcast to the world of Mozart's THE MAGIC FLUTE.

As you know, one's natal chart continues to be transited and triggered posthumously, so how will today's big Mozart Shout-Out to the world - nearing the end of the year-long celebrations of the Maestro's 250th birthday party - be shown in his natal chart?

The music began today at 1:38 pm est, New York City, and Moon 20Tau16 was rising at the midpoint of his natal Venus/Neptune combo. Venus and Neptune separately and together indicate inspired art and music...that from-on-high style he is well-noted for.

If you read my previous post on Mozart from January, it'll spill the beans on Mozart's Harmonic signature (H5 = creativity known for its Style) as I wish him Happy 250th Maestro!

Rising...Venus/Neptune = Moon: reveling in love ideals; a dreamy nature; a chaotic emotional life; being easily influenced or misled by others; a renouncing, unhappy, or disappointed woman.

The pairing of Venus with Neptune relates to art and music, of course, and Moon = the Public, or Publicity.

(As always with midpoint pictures, they operate on an 'all, some,or none' level.)

Well! This could relate to someone at the Met today - or since I sometimes work on an ongoing study of Mozart's death, it could relate to his life 'then' and esp to a woman in his life.

Here are some other factors which stand out when relating today's performance chart with Mozart's natal chart:

Tr Chiron conjunct natal Sun "8AQ"; plus, tr Sun will conjunct natal Chiron on Jan 3, 2007...this reminds me of my previous post on Thomas Paine the day he had the same double transit between Sun and Chiron. You'll find my Thomas Paine posts--two in May '06, and one in Sept '06 in Monthly Archives...in this browser it's near the bottom of the page, but I'm using an updated IE7.

(Be sure to update your browser and clear your cache in time for the New Year!)

More on today at the MET:

Tr Mars is conjunct his natal Moon/Pluto conjunction, a duo signifying "smother love" but also gifting him with deeply powerful creativity...the ability to move the masses, oh yeah uh huh! (Mozart is my all-time fave, btw.)

Natal Moon/Pluto = tr Mars: unusually great energy and a tendency to quarrel; great changes of mood; easy excitability; injuries.

Well, the intensity and originality of Uranus is now highlighted for him - he's in process of having an Uranus Return...plus, he's just beyond his Saturn Half-Return (or Culmination, as I think of it), and his Nodal Half-Return--when weak relationships are broken--is on the way when tr South Node of the Moon reaches his NN 11Vir28.

The Magic Flute ended at about 3:30 pm...about 8 minutes ago, and I want to upload a drawing which I perpetrated of Herr Mozart back in the early 90s which I will do just after this post so it can welcome you who may or may not have gotten this far into my babbles...again, Happy 250th, Maestro, and...


Wishing Happy New Year to All!

And yet with Mooon squaring Saturn in the MET performance chart for today, it would seem as if the Moon (the public) is being blocked in some way by authoritative Saturn who repreents old traditions and even religions and philosophies.

Perhaps the brotherhood which Mozart joined is no more thrilled at The Magic Flute singing their secret tunes in 2006 than they were when po'd about it over 200 years ago!

Hussein before dawn?

Saturday 12:34 am est UPDATE from the AP: Saddam Hussein Executed for War Crimes...


Earlier post starts here:

Execution bwo hanging prior to 6 am Dec 20 in order to avoid a religious observation may be the fate of Saddam Hussein. He's another of the world's "leader in his own mind" kind of guys and the world certainly has a but*load of them lately.

Natally Hussein is characterized by a Moon/Mars conjunction which convinces its owner that only he has a right to be upset ane his temperamental impulses frequently reach madman levels. 'Easy anger' is a nice way to put it.

Are there indications in his Solar Return 2006 chart of his impending doom?

Try to get as astrologer to read death in a chart--go on, I dare ya. 99% of them won't do it--for one thing there are so many variables in a chart as well as in our complex universe.

But this case is quite different, isn't it? Confession: I have looked at Hussein's natal chart (Apr 28, 1937 NS 12:00 pm BAT -3:00 Tikrit, Iraq), the charts for Dec 29/30, 2006, Baghdad, and at his SR 2006...and there are New Moons to be seen, while the Cap Sun and Tau Moon are trining one another in the transit chart.

Morning of Dec 30...at 12:16:23 am, Baghdad, tr Moon 7Tau43 conjunct tr 8th cusp of Death--and conjunct his natal Sun. Now I'm looking at 'wesatern' charts and he would be looking at Lunar Calendar chart...yet the Moon is in the same place in the heavens and this can be called a 'new moon' of sorts...Moon to Sun.

And where is the Moon at 6:00 am--the 'deadline' for his execution, if some have their way?

Moon 11Tau05...which is his Solar Return Moon's position, 2006, which means his Solar Return '06 chart has a New Moon in 1st house of Self.

Other pertinent times are two planets rising, Dec 30: Jupiter (often active in cases of death) rises at 4:53 am; and vengeful Mars rises at 5:36 am...just before the magic 6:00 am hour.

Hussein is now in the secondary progr'd Balsamic phase (endings; partings; separation) which is the darkening of the light. He entered this phase around
Nov 14, 2004 at 27Tau28--near a couple of nasty Fixed Stars, one of which the Chinese relate to "piled up corpses"...Hussein's milieu. And he may either find himself the victim of the sword he was so fond of using against others...or perhaps he'll make a deal.

It's been my plea that he not be 'martyred' if only because it makes him too happy at the increased misery and woe which his death will escalate. Many people will see his execution as death at the hands of the invader--or at least they'll say they do--for effect.

But powerful forces in the world are wanting Hussein's voice snuffed out before he spills any inconvenient beans...and in the end, he'll be just another dictator who knew too much.

Without forgiveness the world is just an endless round of retaliation.
And with the New Year approaching: if only the contentious scrappers of the world would resolve themselves to act with dignity rather than with vengeance.

Human Intelligence Collectors

No, not bloggers, you silly!


From LegitGov.org:

Pressed in Iraq, U.S. Army turns out interrogators 26 Dec 2006 The U.S. Army has stepped up its training of interrogators to get a clearer picture of Iraq... The number of soldiers going through a 93-day course to become Human Intelligence Collectors, the army term for interrogators, has quadrupled over the past three years -- from 265 in 2003 to 1,070 in 2006 -- and is projected to rise to just over 1,500 by 2009

.

LegitGov also has the info on the Bush-Cheney War Machine's plan to accept more foreigners into the US armed services in exchange for citizenship...and somewhere on this blog or elsewhere you may find my assertion years ago that Bush's "come on up" attitude in his first State of the Union Address was to line up Latinos to fight his oily wars.

And I'm not the only one:

Some people saw this coming from years away, m'peops. Perpetual war a la Orwell, did you say?
