Jupiter and Pluto Sponsor Religious Summit
Israeli and Palestinian negotiators remained huddled at Camp David all last
week, attempting to resolve one of the world's thorniest problems, the fate
of Jerusalem. The deadline for a peaceful accord is September 13 by which
time Yasir Arafat will declare statehood with or without Israel's blessing.
The religious planet Jupiter will soon be moving into a highly favorable
trine with hopeful Neptune, and this combination sets up a Grand Trine with
Bill Clinton's Libra Ascendant. Libra, the sign of mediation and diplomacy,
can reach successful conclusion when this Grand Trine is completed during the
last week of July. Bill Clinton's Mercury, the planet associated with
documents and agreements, gets spotlighted astrologically during the July 31
Solar Eclipse.
Meanwhile, Jupiter and Pluto create a summer-long environment of religious
debate and confrontation as they move toward opposition. Because of the
dogmatic holiness of this Jupiter-Pluto vibration, any agreement will likely
bring tremendous regional anxiety and conflict. Terrorists, especially those
motivated by religious self-righteousness, become fully operational under
Jupiter-Pluto aspects.
Jupiter-Pluto aspects certainly have a favorable component, especially in the
religious or spiritual realm. One idea gaining popularity is to put
Jerusalem's care in the hands of a truly neutral international body. This
would be a group of spiritual leaders including the Pope and the Dalai Lama,
as well as Jewish and Islamic representatives.
Then, the United Nations is organizing The Millennium World Peace Summit,
scheduled for August 28-31 when Jupiter and Pluto are nearly exactly opposite
each other. This spiritual summit will bring together 1000 of the world's
pre-eminent religious leaders. Here again, controversy reigns since the Dalai
Lama was not invited due to political pressure from China.
The Music of the Spheres
Astrology and String Theory, Part II
String theory, the revolutionary mathematical model describing the universe's
physical structure, has several surprising components that may validate
astrology, most notably, hidden dimensions that could channel planetary
influence into human affairs. String theory gives us a universe characterized
by eleven dimensions including seven microscopic dimensions with unknown
properties.
In Brian Greene's readable explanation of string theory "The Elegant
Universe," these extra dimensions are too small to visually recognize, and
are likened to curled up, circular loops of threads making up the pile of a
carpet. Electromagnetism is carried by ripples through these new, curled up
dimensions, while gravity is associated with ripples through the more
familiar space-time fabric of the universe. In this way, string theory
triggers a paradigm shift by unifying the incompatible theories of gravity
and quantum mechanics.
Scientists are frenetically searching for physical proof that vibrating,
looped strings make up all the forces and matter occupying these eleven
dimensions. Among the possibilities is the search for "particular patterns of
string vibration that can effectively contribute new, tiny, long range force
fields. Should the effects of any such new forces be discovered, they might
well reflect some of the new physics of string theory."
Having hypothesized that electromagnetism is transmitted as ripples through
invisible dimensions, why not hypothesize that planetary vibrations are also
transmitted through these same dimensions? A planet's physical distance from
the Sun sets up a unique vibratory pattern, something composers refer to as
the music of the spheres. This tonal quality is then correlated with specific
mythological and contemporary symbolism, and sent rippling through the earth
via the invisible dimensions described by string theory.
Gisele Bundchen, Supermodel
Last week star-watchers noted that Brazilian beauty Gisele Bundchen dumped
Leo DiCaprio in favor of billionaire Joao-Paulo Diniz. Gisele may be the
world's hottest model now, with four 1999 covers for Vogue magazine (which
also named her the model of the year), and working for a fashionable fee of
$10,000/day.
Gisele was born with her Sun in voluptuous Cancer (July 20, 1980; Tres de
Maio, Brazil; 5:00 pm AST) and her Moon in sexy Scorpio. This combination of
water signs can bring a scintillating magnetism and extremes in emotional
experiences. The drive for career success is empowered by Pluto conjunct the
Midheaven, and given rare beauty by Pluto's exact trine to Venus.
Venus, the planet naturally associated with modeling, is the most prominent
planet in this horoscope. Venus rules the Midheaven, and thereby makes her
attractiveness a professional asset. This meaning is reinforced by the square
to ambitious Saturn, and given a feminine mystique by the opposition to
Neptune. Venus describes her path to personal fulfillment by the fortunate
aspect to the fateful Lunar Node axis.
Gisele's love life is a matter of public interest since her Venus resides in
the fifth house of romance. Last week capricious Uranus by transit was
creating a Grand Trine with her Venus and Pluto, giving her plenty of
opportunities to play the field. Since the fifth house also governs the
entertainment business, Venus here promises a lucrative acting career when
she is ready.
