Some of us, this reluctant astrologer included, were born with a Taurean North Node, so if your NN is in Taurus, have I got a blog for you:
North Node Astrology is written by Jungian astrologer, Elizabeth Spring, and has great info on NN in Taurus as well as on others. South Node details are, of course, included so take a peek if you haven't found Elizabeth's blog before this moment!
As previously stated here, I see heredity and ancestry where many others see past lives which means that to me, SN issues come through the generations of my ancestry...which includes family shadows and family myths. It's the unfinished business of our ancestors and we may feel compelled to 'tidy up' in our lifetimes.
Yet I find Elizabeth's writing on the Nodal Axis illuminating and useful all the same and you will, too.
In fact, many astrologers consider the NN to be the most important point in the natal chart, and much about one's life mission may be gleaned from NN, SN, and Sun positions when taken together.
And with the recent move from Pisces into Aquarius of the transiting NN, our collective path has now switched from the victim-savior/pragmatist-mystic axis of Pisces into the Aquarian humanitarian-egoist influence where it will remain through the 2008 campaign, and will reach 9AQ20 by Inauguration Day 2009.
This tells us that America will be experiencing her Nodal Half-Return (NN to SN, SN to NN) in April 2009 (True Node) which is a time of separation in relationships and associations--at least in those that are not strong enough to withstand the separative influence of the Saturnian SN.
If associations do withstand the Half-Return they are strengthened in some way, but since Bush & Co already have the US virtually standing alone in the world, keep your eye peeled for April 2009 and thereafter.
Therefore, 9Leo20 puts tr SN conjunct the natal Mercuries of George Bush and the GOP (which are conj at 9Leo+, along with Al Gonzales' Mercury) on Jan 20, 2009 and is part of the reason why I must wonder if a Republican will be ensconced once again in the White House come Jan 20, 2009 (surely not a Bush again.)
But more more on that another day...we're in for a long siege, dear voters.

Mars and Dec 23's Full Moon
Space Weather News for Dec 23, 2007:
MOON AND MARS: Please don't miss this: At sunset on Sunday, Dec 23, the full Moon and Mars will rise in the east less than two degrees apart. So close together, the two brightest objects in the evening sky look absolutely dynamite. The display will be visible all night long, even from brightly lit cities, and requires no telescope to enjoy.
URSID UPDATE: Observers in Europe report a modest outburst of Ursid meteors last night. The intensity and timing of the flurry is in good accord with predictions that Earth would run into a stream of dust from Comet 8P/Tuttle on Dec 22.
Now that the meteor shower is over, attention turns to the comet itself. After a 13.6 year absence, 8P/Tuttle is once again traveling through the inner solar system. At closest approach to Earth on Jan 1 and 2, 2008, the comet will brighten to 5th or 6th magnitude--a fine target for backyard telescopes and digital cameras.

Astronomically this sounds lovely, but astrologically speaking--not so much with testy Mars, god of war, in the security-minded Cancer-Capricorn mix.
See previous post Full Moon in Cancer Dec 23, 2007 for more details.
Here's a Rhymery Alert:
A political limerick has just been perpetrated on the subject of campaign "debates" at Lim's Limericks, if you're game.

NH paper: don't vote for Romney
The New Hampshire paper, The Concord Monitor, has an editorial Romney should not be the next president for although he "looks" like him, he shouldn't be him.
From Romney's "chilling" rhetoric on doubling the US prison at Gitmo (its size, I assume he means) to his refusal to classify waterboarding as torture--or to say that the US won't use it--the Monitor's editorial team has put things in perspective at a time when New Hampshirites may be leaning toward Reaganesque hair styles, adman smoothness, and crisp dark suits.
Well, I'm glad they published this editorial which reminds everyone that the old GOP bromides of spending cuts and lower taxes won't be enough in 2008 to carry a former management consultant (whose experience consists of advising corporations on how to reinvent themselves) into the Venusian Oval Office.
"Looking presidential" and in Romney's case, "like Ronald Reagan" shouldn't be enough either. So are Americans that superficial? Some say we are, yet few citizens would disagree that America is loitering at the crossroads thanks to neocon dreams of dominating and policing the world.
Andrew Sullivan, speaking on America's torturing of prisoners, said today on The Chris Matthews Show that historically 2007 will go down as the year we realized that "America has lost its soul." Meanwhile, showing their own superficiality, most of the mainstream media keep passing the hairspray can to Edwards and on to Romney.
Restore America's moral leadership in the world? Not with Romney who seems perfectly happy with the status quo on that issue (as does Guiliani--a Bushesque braggart to watch out for if there ever was one. And his health is fine, says Rudy.)
And how Mitt Romney's repackaging of his own image has succeeded in the faith department is questionable--there must have been many intense, late-night meetings on that issue with family values appearing as the obvious rock to hide behind. As the Monitor editorial emphasizes, Romney's "turnarounds" are based on his own ambitions.
Come to think of it, Reagan used the family values card as well--I remember how his divorced status was a big issue--seems a rather quaint concern in retrospect.
Yes, New Hampshire folk have always prided themselves on being able to see through phony candidates, and in the case of Mitt Romney, I heartily agree with the Concord Monitor's conclusions on this candidate and hope you will read their editorial if you haven't already.
It seems to me the NH primary voters' decision concerning Mitt Romney should be easy as Double Fudge Pie with airy whipped cream on top.

DC's mysterious dumpster fires
Washington City Paper has an article on the series of fires in the District which seem to have begun with the unfortunate fire which detroyed the beloved Eastern Market on April 30.
April 30, 2007 was a Moon Return day for George Bush (3:43 am edt, White House) with his Moon involved in a crisis-ridden YOD--sextiling Saturn 18Leo15 (conj Venus' degree of 9/11/01.)
Their sextile pointed to the Pisces line-up of the day: NN, Uranus, and Mars. Mars with Uranus is explosive or fiery at least, and Pisces is the sign of oil and gas.
Witnessed was a 'homeless' man seen tossing fabric bits into windows, and burned out dumpsters are said to be involved as well.
His nibs' Moon Return's YOD: Moon/Saturn = NN: lack of adaptation and confidence; associations with uncommunicative or depressed people; shunning others.
Moon/Saturn = Uranus: impulsive release of inner tensions; desire to free oneself from inhibitions; nervousness; reaching for emotional freedom (Moon in Libra); exploding out of frustration.
Moon/Saturn = Mars: sense of real problems; difficulty getting off the ground except by careful, strategically planned exertion of energy; self-control to the point of torment.
Wonder if a similar 'homeless' man was around the Eisenhower Building the other day for the fire "next door" to Dick Cheney's office on the second floor? If not there are plenty of other real homeless men and women--plus uncounted un- or under-employed Americans--who might be interested in a collaboration.
Mars/NN = Uranus:upsets within a community; active cooperation; an organizing activity.
Some officials seem to he having trouble accepting the theory that the fires are part of a pattern of arson--me, not so much.
More midpoint pics from April 30 which emphasize America's natal Mc (Sibly):
Sun/Neptune = US natal Mc: emotional stress in the profession; a negative outlook; being ill, weak, or impressionable; aesthetics taking over presentation.
(Image is everything at the Capitol Hill Theater! And nevewr mind the truth.)
Mercury/Neptune = US n Mc: far-reaching plans; self-deception; a lie.
There are more factors of interest for April 30, 2007, but the yawning chickens need to roost, m'peops--it's 1:10 am!
