Democrats in
Revolt
A reader requests
a NewsScope section on Joseph Lieberman's independent run for
the Senate in Connecticut. Since Lieberman lost the August
8 Democratic Senate primary - due in large part to his
support for the Iraq war - he vows to run as an Independent
in the November election. These developments reflect a deeper
battle for the heart and soul of the Democratic Party.
The origin of the Democratic Party can be traced to a May 13, 1792 letter* from
Thomas Jefferson, and a horoscope set for this date (noon, Philadelphia, PA)
can be used to track current developments. This chart features Uranus at 15º04'
Leo, and at the moment Lieberman conceded defeat, transiting Saturn was at 15º03'
Leo.
This strong confirmation of the Democratic Party horoscope reflects the climactic
clash between the more conservative element (Saturn) and its more progressive
or independent faction (Uranus). Lieberman himself (February 24, 1942; 7:00 am;
Stamford, CT) has Mars exactly conjunct the Democratic Sun in Taurus. His Mars
is conjunct Saturn on one side and Uranus on the other, so that he personally
can go this way or that.
The Democratic Party was born during the French Revolution, and under the influence
of a Jupiter-Neptune conjunction opposite Saturn. These three outer planets in
combination represent a rare celestial signature, and whenever they come into
mutual aspect, the Democratic Party itself is in the process of revolution. Democrats
should be getting their act together over the next few months, as transiting
Saturn and Neptune oppose each other while squaring Jupiter.
Ceres, The
Next Planet
On August 24,
astronomers convening in Prague will decide if Pluto is a planet
or not, and along the way, may elevate the largest asteroid
Ceres to the status of a planet. With this potential official
stamp of approval, many astrologers are scrambling to better
understand Ceres and what she's doing in the horoscope*. However,
NewsScope readers already know that Ceres is associated with
relief operations, the food industry, and parent-child relationships.
Ceres is currently traveling through Aquarius and is conjunct Neptune. Ceres
here takes on the humanitarian concerns of Aquarius and the idealistic, compassionate
vibration of Neptune. In this mode, Ceres promotes the return of refugees to
southern Lebanon and the immense clean-up task. As described in NewsScope July
31, the opposition from Saturn reflects the many obstacles to this process which
should get easier by the end of the month.
Ceres, in her role as Goddess of the Grains, is concurrently pushing for reforms
in the organic milk industry. Ceres conjunct Neptune can be seen as the organic
purists who don't want organic milk to originate from corporate factory farms
where cows are treated miserably. The Saturn-in-Leo factor represents the structured,
large-scale production that allows organic milk to reach broad markets. In a
related story, the USDA announced that the commercial supply of long-grain rice
was contaminated with an unsafe, genetically altered variety.
In political news, Ceres is often personified by a woman, especially one who
evokes a caring or protective quality. Last week, federal judge Anna Taylor ruled
that the White House's wiretapping program is illegal and unconstitutional. Ceres
in Aquarius upholds the civil rights we associate with Aquarius, while Ceres
opposite Saturn in Leo represents the ruling against the Bush monarchy. "There
are no hereditary kings in America," declared the Judge.
Ceres in the
JonBenet Mystery
The ultimate
cold case suddenly became hot last week when authorities arrested
John Karr as a suspect in the JonBenet Ramsey murder mystery.
Astrologer and internet sleuth Judy Johns quickly tracked down
his birth data, and posted it at [email protected].
Concurrent with the breaking news story, Ceres - describing
the parent-child relationship - was a major astrological
player.
Karr was born on December 11, 1964 (Hamilton, AL; time unknown). His natal Mars
in Virgo is under major dynamic tension with a conjunction to the epochal Uranus-Pluto
conjunction. At the time of his arrest, transiting Mars was conjunct his natal
Mars, reflecting the intense action around him. Curiously, transiting Mars was
making no hits to his natal chart at the time of JonBenet's murder.
The most telling astrological measurement connecting John Karr's chart to Christmas
1996 was his progressed Sun, which was exactly conjunct his natal Ceres. Ceres
is a caring, loving vibration, especially in the parent-child relationship. In
a pedophile's chart, Ceres can portray an abnormal sexual love of children. Karr's
obsessive emails about JonBenet show his attachment to the Ceres archetype: "I
can relate very well to children and the way they think and feel."
Karr was arrested as transiting Ceres and Neptune were conjunct, with that combination
squaring his own Venus-Neptune conjunction. Without a birth time, one can't be
sure, but again, there's more precise astrological activation during his arrest
than during the actual murder. Ceres-Neptune sparked intense rumors, but as Ceres
goes on to oppose realistic Saturn, the astrologer might reasonably expect that
the DNA evidence won't match.
