US financial crisis? I knew it was You, Reagan

Paul Krugman's opd-ed of May 31, 2009 tells of Ronald Reagan's signing the Garn-St. Germain Act of 1982 which opened the door wide to the deregulation of the mortgage industry and the crisis, frauds, and heists of today.

Here's the horoscope and a few details on the Reaganomics Eclipse of 1981 in case you haven't seen it. The post was written before I found info on the Garn-St. Germain Depository Institutions Act and before I realized the significance of it as it leads directly today's heist. (Thanks, Alex!)

And check out the text of President Reagan's jolly remarks at the Garn-St. Germain Act's signing ceremony in the White House Rose Garden on Oct 15, 1982 - 11:03 am, as you'll see here.

"All in all, I think we hit the jackpot," said Reagan as noted by Paul Krugman in his op-ed linked above.

Spoken like a true ideologue with heister tendencies.

Artists to freshen Berlin Wall murals

As an artist myself, I think it's cool that the murals on the remaining stretch of the Berlin Wall will be freshened up!

But let's not build another one.

Mysteries of the Denver Airport, 2012, and the Australia Antigen: video

The mysteries of the Denver Airport is a video that concerns the first-built airport buildings which are now underground and in the shape of a nazi swastika, the futuristic murals on the walls of the Denver International Airport, 2012, the Australia Antigen, and conspiracies of New World Order whose aim is one-world governance - after the undesirables are weeded out.

This video is about 11 minutes of...well, I don't know how to describe it so check it out if you dare. You know, people make fun of this stuff to keep from dealing with it. And now that it's 2009 and America is on the verge of troops in the streets with the Constitution and Bill of Rights in tatters, it may be a little late to get concerned. Or is it?

Upton Sinclair's Utopian dream

On September 20, 1878, in Baltimore, Maryland, with Sun in Virgo conjunct Mars, and Moon in Cancer, was born future author, journalist, and social activist Upton Sinclair, who still asks:

"Is it altogether a Utopian dream, that once in history a ruling class might be willing to make the great surrender, and permit social change to come about without hatred, turmoil, and waste of human life?"


Yes. It is. Altogether.

How difficult is it for any earthbound man to give up what he sold his eternal soul for? Shhh! He's counting out his gold coins now...

Sun Vir-Moon Cancer (Earth-Water): mind vs emotions; logic + imagination; self-repressed but observant; kind-hearted; supportive, with a deep concern for others; shy but sociable; conscientious; fastidious about nutrition; devoted and sentimental; principled yet flexible.

Images for Integration: A nutritionist serves his family organically grown chicken soup...The working mother...Two old Chinese women gossip about family problems as they work rhythmically in the rice paddies. (Sun Sign-Moon Sign, Chas & Suzi Harvey.)

Next Venus Occultation: June 5, 2012

Did you know that SpaceWeather News has a 15-pp gallery of photos of 2004's Venus Occultation (aka Transit)?

Astrologically we say that a Venus Occultation indicates a time when people or entities that you'd never suspect join forces or create a new and unusal association. And perhaps we could say, a secret one.

This may have been an outcome of the G-8 Summit during the last Venus Transit of June, 2004 when world leaders (or those who play them on TV) met on the beaches of Sea Island, GA, with Sun/Venus at '18Gemini'..."Two Chinese Men Speaking Chinese in a Western Crowd."

Kind of a 'rare event above, rare below' occurrence, but high-level secret meeting attendees seldom tell tales under threat of who-knows-what fate, Venus Occultation notwithstanding.

And as you know, Venus is implicated in the dust-up which many of us worrywarts are half expecting for the end of the Mayan Calendar year in December 2012. Perhaps it's a coincidence that a Venus Occultation occurs in the year 2012, or more properly, perhaps it's a synchronicity. At the least, it may indicate an active Venus of some kind which no one can describe the effects of until it happens.

So if you want to set up a horoscope for the Venus Occultation of 2012, the Sun/Venus conjunction will be precise in Washington DC on June 5, 2012 at 9:08:53 pm edt, according to my Solar Fire software. You'll find a Rx Venus conj Sun at 15Gem45...'16Gem': "A Woman Agitator Makes an Impassioned Plea to a Crowd." (SolarFire.)

Ascendant 25Sag06; Mc 16Lib19; Moon 7Cap46 approaching Pluto 8Cap50 Rx in 1st house.

Now it may become seemly to post additional details on 2012's Venus Occultation chart as 2009 trundles along, but for now, there are other events, charts, and details to blog about: it looks like next up is America's two-hundred-thirty-third birthday in early July, then the difficult 11 South Solar Eclipse which occurs on the evening of July 21, 2009 in Washington, DC (10:34:32 pm edt.)

With America's Solar Return, I'll be deciding which to use: the Sibly/5:10 pm chart, or Ben Franklin's 2:21 pm horoscope on which to base the US Solar Return, and plenty of time will be needed to study both.

McChrystal to 'shield Afghans from violence'

Whaa-a-a? Have these guys been re-reading 1984, or what?

Petraeus' doublespeakin' man in Afghanistan is about to shield Afghans from violence which is how the US will tell when we've 'won' the war.

"It's not a matter of what is true that counts but a matter of what is perceived to be true." Henry Kissinger

All this reminds me of the natal chart of Henry Kissinger, born May 27, 1923, 5:30 am (-1:00), Furth, Germany (rated AA), whose Airy Sun Gem-Moon Libra - communicator of 'peace' - aided him with this little nugget of overarching wisdom mined from his war experiences...

"Henceforth the adequacy of any military establishment will be judged by its ability to keep the peace."

No matter how many bombs it takes.
