Laura Bush Nov 4, 1946

Laura Bush, in an attempt to defend her husband's SCHIP stance and his oily foreign policy says she's more involved in policy than previously known which is no comfort considering how things have gone since Bush coup'd the White House.

Since my move-along needs to get along, there's no time for much, but here's Mrs Bush's natal chart (rating: B) with its out-of-bounds and Rx Venus as chart-ruler. It's also a Venus Hour, with n Venus at the "Grand Army of the Republic campfire" degree. Guess she's serious about being involved--although she's been instructed to steer clear of such topics as Iraq and Iran.

Her Pre-Natal Eclipse Series (2 New North) is same as her husband's. If you're familiar with the Tarot, you'll know all about Number 16, The Tower, with its collapse of plans and lifestyles, and the rebuilding and reshaping that begins after the dust settles--with far-reaching effects.

Sounds exactly like 9/11 doesn't it? Yet the 2NN Series manifested July 31, 2000...3 days after the Jupiter (Rs) conjunction with Saturn (Ds) at "9Leo", conjunct the natal Mercuries of George Bush, Al Gonzales, and the Republican Party...and very near Bush's n ASC (7Leo07.)

So the attacks of 9/11 occurred after the next Solar Eclipse (2South), the PE Series of Woodrow Wilson and of Ronald Reagan.

Keywords: individual involvement with unusual groups and the belief that much will be gained from such involvement. (Brady's Predictive Astrology.)
And, of course, AFTER Bush was in office and needing a major boost to his nebulously-gained presidency. Neocons all agreed--America "needed a new Pearl Harbour" to take us to war...so we got one.

Back later to add some comments on the First Lady's chart...please pardon any typos, will clear them up asap!

Crew retakes pirated ship--woo hoo!

Now if the American people could retake Washington from the pirates infesting it, that'd be the much-touted rule of law demonstrated and the redressing of our grievances.

Exploding comet now larger than Jupiter

Space Weather News for Oct 29, 2007

Last week, Comet 17P/Holmes shocked sky watchers around the world with a sudden million-fold increase in brightness. It literally exploded into view, rapidly becoming a naked eye "star" in the constellation Perseus. Since then the comet has expanded dramatically. It is now physically larger than the planet Jupiter and subtends an angle in the night sky similar to the Moon's Sea of Tranquility, the right eye of the "Man in the Moon."

Photographers, this amazing comet is an excellent target for off-the-shelf digital cameras and backyard telescopes. It grows visibly from night to night and no one knows how large it will become. Stay tuned to SpaceWeather.com for sky maps and the latest images.#

Archive to White House: fork 'em over

Hope the motion filing yields results as the National Archive seeks missing emails and backup tapes from White House.

The CREW (Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington) organization has also been busy filing and seeking improperly deleted records from the EOP
(Executive Office of the President.) The article has links to the various filings and to the White House's objections. Good reading.

And perhaps you remember the keywords for the now-in-effect Solar Eclipse of Sept 11, 2007 which describes paperwork and communication responsibilities which "come home to roost"...seems the White House belfry is overflowing with secretive chickens roosting and laying eggs about now!

And you heard by now that Tom Tancredo will not be seeking re-election...doesn't that make a dozen or more Republicans bowing out (before the paddy wagons pull up to the door)?

One dozen or two--makes little difference around SO'W--Ds and Rs are playing the same games with us as if we-the-people will be the ones to decide who will continue manning the helm of this oil tanker that used to be America.

And I say that sadly and with a hearty Shout-Out to Michael Ruppert's From the Wilderness.

We could do worse than face the truth.

Stephen Colbert May 13, 1964

In all truthiness, I think that Stephen Colbert is reveling in his prez bid and making nasty presidential promises against my home state of Georgia, if he should win the Oval Office!

So in a spirit of intolerant and grumpy retaliation, I hereby publish Colbert's natal chart (May 13, 1964; sunrise--birth time unknown--in fact there are discrepancies concerning his very place of birth, yet there is some evidence that he was born at some point...and Washington, DC works as a re-location chart if nothing else, and may be correct.)

Funny that asteroid, Cupido, The Family; Corporations is conjunct natal Sun in Taurus. Asteroid Toro, the Bull, is at MC (Career Point), and stable Taurus, the Builder, is the strongest sign in the chart. The shadow or negative side of Taurus is stubbornness, greed and intolerance, but I'm not implying anything or waving a red cape in front of his snoot...at least I hope not.

Throughout the 24 hours of his day of birth, Moon was in Gemini (communications, esp writing, speechmaking, and announcements--great for TV) so for his personality blend we may confidently use Sun Tau/Moon Gemini:

dogmatic yet flippant; city slicker + country lad in tune with nature; natural teacher with a gift for practical (Tau) communication (Gem); witty yet penetrating conversationalist; flourishes in media, publishing, sales; good at negotiations; earthy sensuality + breezy intellectuality; passionate at heart but seems detached and unflappable; fine reasoning abilities.

Greatest Weaknesses: arguing with bullying bombast; lack of sympathy for the emotional needs of others and for the loftier aspirations of the human spirit.

Images for Integration: A wealthy publisher launches another new project...A sculptor carves the figure of a dancer...A restauranteur earns a reputation for delicious souffles and meringues...A scientist brilliantly discourses on the mysteries of nature. (Ahh, This Week in God--I remember it fondly!) (Sun Sign-Moon Sign, Chas & Suzi Harvey.)

Well, it remains to be seen whether this bombastic meringue will reach the White House as commander-in-chief or as desert on Tuesdays, but his self-serving and vicious attack on drought-riddled Georgia is uncalled for and at least partially or wholly unprovoked--esp when every American knows that the presidency is for disenfranchising ALL states, not just your special pets, Mr. Colbert.

I mean, really.

Stars Above! Deerlick Astronomy Village

You may not.

But if you do, here's today's post from Jude's Threshold concerning a new observatory site called Deerlick Astronomy Village, a stargazer's paradise located under the darkened skies of rural eastern Georgia, USA.

Added to the post is a little early Georgia-Virginia history with a slight genealogical flavor from yours truly, reluctant astrologer and native Georgian these many years.
