Al Qaeda Hits London

As described last week, the transit of Mars over the Solar Eclipse degree would bring “horrific acts of violence”, a scenario that was all too vivid to commuters in London when Al Qaeda bombs began detonating. London’s trauma, from an astrological perspective, was similar to New York’s when transiting Mars also hit the Solar Eclipse point on September 11, 2001.

Al Qaeda’s horoscope is set for the joint fatwa issued by Osama Bin Laden and his cohorts on February 23, 1998 (5:00 am; London*). This chart features the Sun conjunct Jupiter in faith-oriented Pisces modified by a sharp square to Pluto in religious Sagittarius. This combination can easily be seen as religious fanaticism. The warrior planet Mars is also in Pisces, where it describes how action is based on beliefs.

At the moment of the London bombings, transiting Pluto was exactly squaring Al Qaeda’s Mars (orb 0º02'). This connection alone is enough to create the kind of massive attack staged last week. In addition, transiting Mars was conjunct Al Qaeda’s Saturn and square its Moon with very tight orbs. The New Moon n Cancer took place right on Al Qaeda’s Descendant.

Last year’s bombing in Madrid on March 11, 2004 took place during a previous Pluto transit to Al Qaeda’s Mars, plus transiting Uranus conjunct Al Qaeda’s Sun. The 9/11 attack initiated Al Qaeda’s reign of terror just as it was experiencing a progressed New Moon square Pluto (orb 0º03'). This chart works, and can be monitored by astrologers to foresee future attacks. Transiting Pluto will return to square Al Qaeda’s Mars this coming October.

Saturn Enters Leo

The taskmaster Saturn enters Leo on July 16, and will stay in this imperial sign for the next two years. Saturn here has a major influence in the horoscopes of many political leaders, nations, and generations, especially the so-called Baby Boomers. Saturn in Leo judges kings and monarchs, or the leaders who personify these royal qualities.

Those born between 1939 and 1958 all have Pluto in Leo, and as a demographic cohort, this generation has assumed authority over our current system. The most prominent politicians, teachers, CEOs, and scientists all have Pluto in Leo. Those who show true leadership – that is, those who are fair to their subjects – will be further empowered by Saturn, while those who demonstrate arrogance, greed, and foolishness will stumble.

Shortly after World War II, Saturn and Pluto united in Leo, a combination that birthed several nations and organizations critical to the mutual interdependence of our global systems. Some of these include Israel, India, Pakistan, China, the United Nations, NATO, and the World Bank. When Saturn enters Leo, these entities will face a difficult restructuring process, which will likewise empower them or significantly decrease their global clout.

The importance of this passage should become evident on July 22 when the Sun enters Leo to form a conjunction with Saturn. This conjunction opposes Chiron in egalitarian Aquarius, and so we can expect that imperial leaders will confront or be challenged by organized opposition, especially those that have been wounded in some way (Chiron). President Bush, with Leo Rising, will be in the spotlight.

Michelle Wie, The Center of the Storm

Teen golfing sensation Michelle Wie electrified the PGA Tour last week when she nearly became the first woman to make the cut since Babe Didrikson Zaharias qualified in 1945. As TV cameras and a throng of 6,000 followed her around the course, Wie was well on her way, but then double-bogeyed and bogeyed the last two holes to just miss the cut.

Michelle Wie** was born with an energetic Sun-Mars conjunction in the composed sign of Libra (October 11, 1989; Honolulu; time unknown). The asteroid Juno is also conjunct her Sun, which bestows additional charm and people skills. Considering the Sun-Juno-Mars conjunction alone, Michelle might be content to be an assertive socialite, interested in establishing herself through her network of friends and close relationships.

However, these personal planets are given tremendous ambition to connect to the global village since they are challenged by hard aspects to several outer planets, including the epochal triple conjunction between Uranus, Saturn, and Neptune. This 1989 outer planet alignment was geopolitically momentous, astrologically marking the collapse of the Berlin Wall, the powerful hurricane Hugo, and the surprising earthquake in San Francisco.

Michelle Wie’s golfing feats curiously coincide with hurricanes, earthquakes, and political turmoil. Last week transiting Jupiter and Uranus were forming an exact aspect to each other, and hitting her Jupiter. Simultaneously, Floridians were battening down against Hurricane Dennis, while Londoners cleaned up their bombed transportation system. Michelle represents the calm center of the storm, the ultimate grace under pressure, as she breaks through cultural, gender, and age barriers.

* Although Bin Laden had created Al Qaeda several years earlier, this decree represented the birth moment of his international network of terror, and the one responsible for last week’s destruction. For more info, see NewsScope November 12, 2001.
