Bush and the Neptune Cycle
Recently President Bush spent some of his political capital to
get the landmark intelligence reform bill to his desk, which he
signed last Friday. Also last week Bush's economic agenda was
laid out before a receptive audience, and included rewriting the
tax laws and overhauling Social Security. Commenting on the speed
and boldness of his agenda, Bush said "I don't have much
time left."
Since 1840 a president
has died in office about
every 21 years, a cycle
which is now coming into
play. Traditional astrologers
have attributed this cycle
to the Jupiter-Saturn cycle,
but this doesn't explain
why the United States should
be the only nation to feel
the effects, nor does it
accurately give the timing.
The Scorpio Rising U.S.
horoscope describes both
the potential and the timing
of these tragic events.
Natally, the U.S. has Uranus
and Mars, the planets associated
with sudden violence, in
the eighth house of death.
No other popular U.S. horoscope
has this configuration.
The Midheaven represents
the political party in
power and the national
leader. Whenever transiting
Neptune makes hard aspects
to the Midheaven*, a president
dies in office.
The only exception was
Ronald Reagan, but he had
an astrologer who was aware
of the danger, and who
set his schedule. George
W. Bush has Mars in Virgo
in close, sharp aspect
to the U.S. Uranus. As
transiting Neptune approaches
its opposition to the U.S.
Midheaven, transiting Uranus
will be opposing Bush's
Mars and squaring the U.S.
Uranus. The combination
will likely bring Bush
plenty of political challenges,
but an unusually high risk
of assassination.
Pfizer versus Andrew Weil
Last week the best-selling Celebrex joined Vioxx as an over-prescribed,
tainted drug that poses significant health risks to its users.
The latest findings suggest that the entire class of pain relievers
known as cox-2 inhibitors pose significant heart risks. Meanwhile,
alternative health practitioners say that ginger or turmeric**
may be just as effective, but without the harmful side effects.
Astrologically, the unfolding
drug scandal can be attributed
to transiting Pluto's square
to the U.S. Neptune (as
described in NewsScope
November 15 and December
6). Another factor shaping
up is that transiting Saturn
and Chiron are moving into
opposition, representing
the challenge between the
consensus reality and the
alternative mind-body-spirit
movement. Over the last
30 years a leading proponent
of natural alternatives
has been Dr. Andrew Weil.
Weil was born with his
Sun in informed Gemini
(June 8, 1942; 4:00 pm;
Philadelphia), along with
his Mercury and three outer
planets. Chiron is directly
associated with holistic
health, and in Weil's chart
is found in the heroic
sign of Leo where it's
conjunct relentless Pluto
in his tenth house of career.
The combination pushes
Weil into being a passionate
spokesperson and leader
for the alternative health
movement.
Weil's Mars near his Midheaven
is currently under pressure
from the transiting Saturn-Chiron
opposition. While he personally
proposes an integrative
approach between mainstream
medicine and natural alternatives,
the Chiron-Saturn influence
will likely bring him into
direct conflict with his
detractors. Over the next
month and throughout 2005
transiting Pluto will be
opposing Weil's Mercury,
giving him a keen desire
to inform people about
safe alternatives.
Kevin Spacey Channels Bobby Darin
Oscar-winner
Kevin Spacey wrote, directed and stars in "Beyond the Sea",
the Bobby Darin story that opened nationwide over the weekend.
Spacey's mother, who introduced her son to the 1960s crooner, encouraged
him to make the movie, but not until she was near her death in
2002 did production begin. "I made this movie for all mothers,"said
Spacey, "but especially for my mother."
Kevin Spacey was born with
his Sun in dramatic Leo (July
26, 1959; South Orange, NJ;
time unknown). His Moon in
bold Aries reiterates his fiery
brashness, and his own rather
assertive mother. The asteroid
Ceres brings deep, emotional
bonding within the mother-child
relationship via the conjunction
with generous Jupiter, but
especially in death since they're
placed in Scorpio.
Bobby Darin was born with his
Sun in the golden-throat sign
of Taurus (May 14, 1936; 5:28
am; Manhattan Beach, NY). Like
Spacey, Darin has Ceres in
Scorpio, and it's given extra
prominence by being opposite
his Sun. Darin's father died
just after he was born, so
his mother was forced to raise
him alone. The traditional
symbol for the mother, the
Moon, is found in Aquarius,
and is in a deeply challenging
aspect (an exact inconjunction)
to Pluto.
Darin's Ceres in Scorpio and
Moon aspecting Pluto is a doubled
message about some dark mystery
surrounding his mother. Pluto
conjunct the fourth house cusp
(representing the mother) repeats
the message a third time. Spacey's
Chiron is right on Darin's
Moon, and his story-telling
Jupiter is right on his Ceres.
These are the only strong connections
between their two charts. Who
else but Kevin Spacey could
reveal the secret about Darin's
mother?
