Historian David Hume

This is merely a small shout-out post to Force on the side of the governed in case you wish to check out a few Astrology notes about a famous Scottish historian and philosopher, David Hume, from whence came my post's title.

Astrology of Obama's 'first 100 days' presser 4.29.09

As an update, I have added more Astrology notes concerning Wednesday night's 'first 100 days' presser of Pres. Obama, if you'd care to have a peek.

You may wish to scroll down just a wee bit for the after-presser update which includes YOD ('Finger of God') and Fist of God patterns which formed overhead as he spoke/answered questions from 8:01 pm until 8:59 pm edt from the East Room of the White House.

The practical Earth-Water Sun Tau-Moon Cancer blend for the press conference is quite apt so here you go...

resourceful, sensitive, caring, creative; tenacious and loyal; determined and obstinate - this blend describes a strongly protective individual, a 'mother of the world' type who can be strict, too.

(The president's natal Saturn - authority - in its own sign of Capricorn, but retrograde which doesn't make it weakened, but internalized and possibly unconscious unless and until he figures it out. That's the kind of thing Astrology is very helpful with.)

Emotional relationships and family are central, and nest-building blossoms when the right partner is found. This is a very supportive combo in partnerships (remember he characterized his attempts to reach out to his Republican friends as "genuine.")

This reliable combo prefers to do and experience things to get the 'feel' of how they work (and if they don't work, try something else?), and it always takes a diplomatic approach. 'Carrying the weight of the world on its shoulders' is a distinct possibility - and I think that's about what he's done here with the presidential cards dealt him and the mess passed on from his Republican 'friends.'

If you heard his remarks and answers, you'll know he mentioned such things as the number of teen pregnancies needing to be decreased, pro-choice/pro-life issues, families in relation to the Swine Flu outbreak, the economy, etc.

Now here are the Images for Integration for Sun Tau-Moon Cancer...

'A baker undertakes to feed an orphanage...Dr. Spock teaching mothers how to bring up their children...Tchaikovsky's Swan Lake.' ('Sun Sign-Moon Sign', Charles & Suzi Harvey.)

The Sun Tau-Moon Cancer blend is shared natally by Tchaikovsky (obviously) and by David Icke, Bert Bacharach, Gabriel Faure, Sandra Dee, Robert Oppenheimer, Juan Miro, Lynn Redgrave, and Dr. Benjamin Spock, author of 'The Common Sense Book of Baby and Childcare.'

(Saturn in his own sign is nothing if not full of common sense, and Pres. Obama tends to sound that way to me more often than not. But...Oppenheimer?)

Here are a few words from New Ager David Icke:

"You can't tell people they must consume less when their children are hungry. We, the fortunate people, must consume less so they can consume more."

Sounds like a more perfect world was being 'channeled' tonight - one in which each person realizes that they really are their brother's keeper...infused with, you know, kind of a community-building spirit that recognizes and gives props to the common good wherever it finds it.

Arlen Specter Feb 12, 1930

Senator Arlen Specter, who formally announced his switch to the Democratic Party yesterday, Apr 28, 2009, was born in Wichita, Kansas on Feb 12, 1930, birth time unknown.

Yesterday, as what some would say was a long overdue formal announcement of the moderate Republican's party re-affiliation (Specter was a Dem in his earlier days) transiting Jupiter 23AQ37 was conjunct his natal Sun 23AQ21 (using a Sun-conj-MC chart set for 12:43:42 pm CST) and his natal Venus 24AQ49.

This gives Sen. Specter a self-satisfied Sun-Venus conj natally which indicates one who loves to be loved and liked, and will adjust his personality to assure this. It's a self-dramatizing combination which can have a pompous air due to thinking that his mere presence is enough to merit everyone's attention.

Jupiter-to-Sun signifies a culmination of something begun 12 years before (Jupiter's orbit appr 12 years long) and those who know more of the senator's career and life than I do may know what this refers to - I do know from his Wiki bio that he ended his stint as Chairman of the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence on Jan 3, 1997 (which may not qualify since it was an ending in itself.)

Jupiter's expansive tendencies to one's ego (Sun) indicates that whatever was begun 12 years ago must now move to a higher level (not NWO plans, I hope) or come to an end. Recognition and honor come along easily with this Jupiter transit but it's better not to get carried away with one's own self-importance now....perhaps an impossible task for a politician, especially one born with a Sun-Venus conjunction!

Jupiter to natal Venus shows an increased desire for luxury, and that there's been an establishment of an important alliance - with Pres. Obama is the obvious guess especially since the president is said to have promised Sen. Specter that he will campaign on his behalf in Pennsylvania in 2010.

Also yesterday, the transiting midpoint of the speculation pair, Jupiter/Neptune 24AQ55 is sitting upon the senator's natal Sun and Venus so we have two pictures...any, all, or none may apply...

Jupiter/Neptune = Venus: optimism in relationship.

Jup/Nep = Sun: trying to capture the essence of things; following a dream (not a NWO dream, I hope); feeling the spirit; potentially misguided states (not PA, I hope); speculation (better political chances as a Dem?); irresponsibility; deceiving or being deceived. (Tyl; Ebertin.)

More current transits include:

natal Mercury 27Cap18 (conj US natal Pluto - in fact, Specter was born in 1930, the year of Pluto's discovery, so his natal degree is the Discovery degree of Pluto - his 17Can52 Rx); tr Sun 8Tau30 at noon is snugged between his NN 5Tau44 and Chiron 9Tau54 indicating something fated and with a wounding quality about his party affiliation switch. Perhaps he dealt a long-coming (North Node) wound (Chiron) to the R Party and may have been feeling wounded (under appreciated) himself.

So here's a midpoint picture in effect for some months now...

Tr Nep/Pluto = n Mercury: communications are other than they appear; deception as a strategy; loss of centering; nervous weakness; many plans incapable of realisation; thinking and acting while under strange influences.

(I noticed that Elizabeth on The View this morning mentioned plaintively that Sen. Specter had said a month ago that he would remain Republican. So much for a politician's promises, eh? Maybe a diss to his pompousness occurred!)

US natal Pluto now has tr Pluto/Chiron midpoint conjunct it and tr Neptune/Pluto midpoint is there as well...Nep/Plu being the signature of the Robber Baron class, Plu/Chiron being plutocrats who oppress with disenfranchisement, fascism, totalitarianism, corporatism, racism, the ruthless list goes on.

Another of yesterday's links with Sen. Specter's natal chart is Mars 4AQ40 being triggered by tr NN...a time when meetings are held to get the job done.

Well, Sen. Specter is a fighter, we know that, so his switch of loyalties - assuming he's not operating as a Trojan horse against the D Party - should be interesting to watch and will perhaps help his prospects in his next re-election battle.

But I have yet to forget Specter's role on the Warren Commission and its whitewashing of the true culprits in the assassination of Pres. John F. Kennedy, when a major coup of our government was successfully enjoined.

And saboteur Pluto, with Neptune's obfuscating help, continues bedeviling and undermining America today.

Swine Flu and the GOP; president's presser 4-29-09

By now you've run across some quirky statements from Republicans on the outbreak of Swine Flu and its pandemic possibilities. Why, even Rush Limbaugh is manufacturing what he hopes are GOP-saving theories on this public health issue that requires more thought for the common good than he or other neocon rightwingers can hold within their self-serving peabrains for more than two seconds running.

If you missed it yesterday, check out digby's explanation of the dilemma the GOPers find themselves in.

When we first heard of 'swine flu' in the 70s we weren't ready with vaccines. Now it's 2009 and we're not ready for a pandemic with vaccines (or well-staffed clinics.)

If Rush Limbaugh could manufacture vaccines he'd be useful in a crisis. As it is, what he manufactures is the usual manure and swill from the GOP playbook. Which is not only un-useful - these people don't 'believe' in the common good!

And if the GOP as it stands now had been around for and involved in the founding of America, we wouldn't have a nation or the US Constitution we now cling to.

I also want to assure anyone who thinks I'm torn up about FOX TV choosing not to carry the president's press conference tomorrow night that I would not have watched the presser on FOX anyway.

For me, the only thing the FOX channel is good for is '24' and 'Lie to Me'...and while they'll show the usual episode of 'Lie to Me' at 8:00 pm edt - apologies to the excellent Tim Roth - I'll be watching and listening to Mr. President elsewhere.

Swine Flu Update 11:55 am: Smithfield Farms facility.

National Debt has Facebook page!

NPR just reported that our national debt has a Facebook page and so do I but haven't used it much yet because you're not there...

pandemic flu, stim money, and political swines

The following question concerns a political trickster's grandstanding on behalf of the party but is not a trick question:

What do pandemic flu, 2009's stimulus package money, and political swines have in common?

Hint 1: his initials are KR.

Hint 2: they did it on purpose to undermine our current systems and tattered social fabric more completely - and to ratchet up the fear level among the unwashed masses.

Yes, I'll say it again: the power elite play for keeps.
