Kennedy assassination revisited: Sun Sco-Moon AQ

Since noon today I've worked on a fresh look at the horoscope of the assassination of John F. Kennedy, if you're curious.

You may find that the Sun Sco-Moon AQ blend of Nov 22, 1963 tells us something about the day's flavor and the event's participants. Included are a few notes on the Solar Eclipse prior to the murder, an Eclipse which opposed US natal Pluto, planet of: sabotage, the Underworld, spies, nuclear devices, powerful puppetmasters, the Dragon guarding the riches, and invisible helmets.

And Pluto has a 'secret hand' identity as well, which is most useful to know in Mundane work.

As usual, the article is conveniently written in English for those who speak no astrologese, so please check it out in either language and let me know your thoughts...your insights will be much appreciated by this reluctant astrologer.

Barack Obama's Solar Return: August 4, 2009


In a cross-pollinating fit of blogginess today I've published something on President Obama's Solar Return 2009 chart but if you click its link, you'll first discover details on the Sun Leo-Moon Capricorn blend from his Solar Return chart.

Mr. Obama's natal Sun-Moon blend is Leo-Gemini which gives to his nature a Fire-Air combo of energies, and it doesn't change. But from his 2009 birthday, August 4, to the next birthday in 2010, he has Moon in ambitious Capricorn working with natal Sun in fiery Leo, sign of leadership - a Fire-Earth combination.

Guess you could think of my cross-pollinating as a scavenger hunt of some kind because from the above-linked post you may click through to the chart's image with details posted on Stars Over Washington, my primary Political Astrology blog since October 2005.

Or not. As you wish!

On the elusive Truth and a Ron Paul video link

"I was provided with additional input that was radically different from the truth. I assisted in furthering that version." Oliver North

"To be persuasive we must be believable; to be believable we must be credible; to be credible we must be truthful." Edward R. Murrow

"Fear is not in the habit of speaking truth." Publius Cornelius Tacitus

"The great enemy of clear language is insincerity. When there is a gap between one's real and one's declared aims, one turns, as it were, instinctively to long words and exhausted idioms, like a cuttlefish squirting out ink." George Orwell (English novelist, essayist, and critic, 1903-1950)

Above quotes compliments of Information Clearing House

And if you can handle some truth, try this video of Rep. Ron Paul addressing the lies of the Fed who 'delivered' the financial collapse to America and thus to the world.

Max Baucus, Health Care Reform's public option, and Pisces

With Plutocracy on the March it's doubtful that a 'public option' will be included in the president's Health Care Reform bill.

Yet without it, what have the millions of uninsured and under-insured gained if the legislation passes? Max Baucus is tainted with conflict of interest issues so who can trust him to act on behalf of those who need the reform most of all?

Also, I've been posting this morning at Stars Over Washington and on my other tapestry blog, Jude's Threshold, a blog whose name is an astrological reference to Saturn as the Guardian of the Threshold.

For me personally this describes having restrictive Saturn in the 12th house of the Unconscious where Mr. Control applies himself to thoughts that swim up from the Collective Unconscious, and from my own unawareness, into consciousness.

Maybe that's the origin of Dreamyfish Art, an online Art Gallery which I began in 2005 to display (Neptunian) fish drawn as botanically correct (Saturn) as I can make them but within scenarios of their private dreams (Neptune) under the sea (Neptune) - as you know, Neptune rules the oceans.

This echoes having natal Sun ruled by Saturn (Capricorn) and Moon ruled by Jupiter/Neptune (Pisces.) Pisces is a very creative sign, and drawing is my preferred outlet. And I like to write sometimes, too.

Cosmic Persona Designs was created to show the racier elements of my artwork with a bow to the 'cosmic persona' of any Astrology chart, the Ascendant, which is the sign and degree that rises as a person - or thing or event - are born. The Ascendant represents the mask/s from ancient Greek tragi-comedies, and in Astrology we 'speak through the mask' of the Ascendant as did Greek actors centuries ago.

The Ascendant's sign shows how we view the world and how the world views us, and along with our Sun and Moon positions, is considered one of the three most important points in a horoscope.

And I suppose that Secret Moon Art describes itself as a gallery for Children's, Fairy, Moon, Cosmic, and Botanical drawings, so it needs no further explanation!

Then there's Lim's Limericks, a typing arrangement I got myself into by way of my cat, Lim, and his excellent if elusive friend, Mr. A. Cat, whose precise whereabouts continue to remain a mystery.

Who knew cats could be so political? I didn't, did you?

Astrology of the 1st Moon Landing

With today being the 40th anniversary of Apollo 11's First Moon Landing, July 20, 1969, which occurred during the Great Conjunction of Jupiter and Uranus, the planetary pair of scientific breakthroughs, discoveries, inventions, and lucky opportunities, a post is now available on the Astrology of it.

Jupiter/Uranus is the light bulb over the head of bright ideas!

The horoscope is set for the White House at the moment the Moon's position tallied with Jupiter/Uranus: 00Lib40, precisely conjunct America's natal Midheaven in the Sibly chart.

The main midpoint pictures are typed for you in English, if you'd like to check them out to taste a flavor of July 20, 1969.

And click to enlarge the chart for more details scribbled thereupon, for many factors are not mentioned in the post's text...such as the position of asteroid Apollo: 3Vir52, in the 4th house of the chart, as you'll discover.

You see, it's Monday ('Moon' day!), and my drafting table overflowing with drawings is calling my name... .. .

Astrology of Corporations Are People: May 10, 1886

Since I'm on the verge of signing off and enjoying the rest of the weekend, this is a mere heads-up about a fresh post at Stars Over Washington concerning Corporations Are People's natal chart of May 10, 1886.

American corporate law was given a big thrust forward on that day by a court reporter's off-hand comments which were published later with the Supreme Court's decision on taxing railroad property within the borders of Santa Clara County, California.

But see what you think - my post has one link in particular to Thom Hartmann's Op-Ed News article which discloses the shenanigans of legal-eagle politicians lurking in the back pockets of 1800s railroad titans.

No big surprise, agreed, but consider how we-the-people have suffered economically under their duplicitous plutocratic notions these many decades - and with a Saturnian-Neptunian pretend-law which goes totally against what America's Founders intended for our nation.

Of course, 'secret'/'invisible' (Neptune) government (Saturn) is the name of American corporations' game, the more I study it, and it's quite unsavory. Yet it isn't their actions as much as the motives behind them that tell the full tale.

So by that criteria, the tricksters and brigands of 1886 had motives with suspiciously bad intent and oppressive results for American workers and consumers, as we now understand all too well...now that the thoroughbreds have bolted and left only mules in our economic barn.

And this, along with world banking oligarchs who throttle our financial institutions, is what must be corrected for America to be America again, for our government's by-for-of does not and should not apply to any persons but we-the-people - so obviously the ones the Constitution was written to protect.
