ELECTION 2012 - USA

DATA:  November 6, 2012 @ 7 A.M., EST- Washington, D.C.

The chart is cast for when the polls open in D.C.

The First House or Ascendant in a mundane chart reflects the country and its inhabitants, its general condition of prosperity and health - or the reverse.

An interesting degree of Scorpio rises - the 18th - of which astrologer Adriano Corelli says:  "..an absolute lack of autonomy, a life weighed down by an excess of sloth...Courage to act openly is conspicuous by its absence, and there is just enough courage to bear the consequences of one's flippant fickleness or follies and to accept any sacrifice.  This sets the tone for the day.

Ascendant rulers Mars and Pluto hold forth in the 2nd house, Mars in Sagittarius separating from an opposition to retrograde Jupiter, and Pluto the Apex of a Cardinal T-Square, commanding the energies of Venus opposition Uranus.  The picture that is painted by Mars/Jupiter is one of financial excess.  As Jupiter falls into the 7th house, said excess stems from foreign countries seeking to steer the election to the person who will grant to them the most favors, such as engaging in a war they do not prefer to undertake by themselves.  Mars in the 2nd house also depicts the outflow of the nation's wealth, thus, prosperity is a thing of the past for most Americans.  The T-Square describes the condition of the citizens as being...a bit tense...and well they should be, considering wealthy foreigners are attempting to control the selection process.

The incumbent is shown by the 10th house, Leo on the Midheaven, ruler Sun posited in the 12th house of subversion and things done in secret.  The Sun is separating from a square to the 9th house Moon, indicating the peril to the people which this person created in his successful attempts to torpedo our constitutional rights.  

The republican challenger is shown by the 4th house, Aquarius on the cusp, ruler Saturn posited in the 12th house...yep, subversion and things done in secret.  The 27th degree on the cusp of the 4th, as defined by E.C. Matthews (paraphrased):  Usually successful at what is undertaken. 

A retrograde Neptune occupies the 4th house trine Saturn and sextile Pluto.  The challenger shall win (there are other astrological indications) however, what we have been told by this person is not what we are going to get.  And as Mercury turns retrograde in motion at 5:58 p.m., prior to the polls closing in D.C. at 8 p.m., what we get will not be apparent for a few weeks...probably not until Mercury turns direct in motion on November 26th as it conjoins the Ascendant of this chart.  And what we get will not benefit the United States or Americans because comparing this challenger's horoscope to that of the USA, it discloses that he has eight negative aspects compared to four positive aspects interacting with the United States.  

THE DAMAGE TO THE COUNTRY THAT WILL BE WROUGHT:

His Sun opposition USA Neptune...the courts, foreign policies and all 9th house matters will become a blind spot...unclear in his direction...it may place him and the country in embarrassing situations

DAMAGE:

His Sun square USA Mars in the 7th house...foreign affairs, war, open enemies, allies...if we had any.  Along with the previous Sun/Neptune aspect, this creates a T-Square with Mars at the Apex...meaning a foreign war monger will be calling the shots.

DAMAGE:

His Moon opposition USA Moon...the people and 3rd house matters such as 1st Amendment rights to free speech

DAMAGE:

His Mercury inconjunct USA Saturn...the nation's prestige...not that we have much left

DAMAGE:

His Mars square USA Uranus...the military and all 6th house matters...the destruction will likely be the death of the nation's young due to war

DAMAGE:

His Jupiter square USA Moon...lack of ethical values regarding the people and all 3rd house matters

DAMAGE:

His Neptune square USA Sun...deceptive qualities, shifting sands and a lack of trust regarding the nation's conscious purpose and its basic identity.  "Fools rush in where angels fear to tread."

To-morrow, and to-morrow, and to-morrow,

Creeps in this petty pace from day to day,

To the last syllable of recorded time;

And all our yesterdays have lighted fools

The way to dusty death.  Out, out, brief candle!

Life's but a walking shadow, a poor player,

That struts and frets his hour upon the stage,

And then is heard no more.  It is a tale

Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury,

Signifying nothing.

Macbeth...Shakespeare

FULL MOON OCTOBER 2012 - USA

DATA:  October 29, 2012 @ 3:59 P.M. - Washington, D.C.

Taurus places focus on values and practical objectives.  The 2nd house in which the Moon is placed zeros in on money and movable property:  attitudes toward wealth and property.

We identify by placing a value on something.  The more we value it, the more we identify it as part of ourselves.  We are then attached to the item we value.  Security comes only when that which we value is not endangered.

The Moon is exalted in Taurus, where it brings out the easy flow of emotions and grounds them...a fine time to enjoy a massage.  A Taurus lunation may bring to our attention personal financial gains or losses, or we may have to purchase or sell movable possessions.  The trend may very well affect our economic outlook so we must be ready to grasp financial opportunities. 

Or the main message of this Full Moon may be to safeguard our resources: savings accounts, checkbook, CDs, pension plans and financial documents...most especially because Pluto in Capricorn in the 10th house of government reconciles the opposition of Moon and Sun...meaning the energy of the lights and their monetary meaning will be easily taken over by Plutocrats.  Examine that which you value and how you wish to preserve it.  Please take heed of this warning ASAP.

SATURN'S INGRESS INTO SCORPIO - USA

DATA:  October 5, 2012 @ 4:34 PM EDT - Washington, D.C.

This essay has been rather difficult to write.  It will be unpleasant to read.  Nevertheless, it is offered to assist in your survival and those of your loved ones, for knowledge is power.

This Ingress chart depicts the influence of Saturn in Scorpio on the United States of America for a little more than the next two years.  Saturn falls into the 8th house of death and transformation; both literal death and psychological evolution will be encountered, as the nation will be involved in a battleground of constant crises, for the 8th is primarily a house of crisis...a house of purging and purifying.  Whatever has outgrown its usefulness will be removed from our lives, quite often harshly.  In its stead we will be granted a new kind of freedom. 

Saturn, the Grim Reaper in Scorpio, the realm of death, in the 8th of Medicare means a panel will be formed during the course of this transit that will restrict disease-care for elders, leading to suffering and eventually death, for those so chosen.  With Libra on the cusp of the 8th house and its ruler Venus sextile Saturn, morticians will not be among the unemployed.

Accountability is a Saturn function, the 8th house and Scorpio govern debt, taxes, insurance, and entitlements.  Americans will be forced to come to grips with the deficit...the need for austerity is in our immediate future, although it will be selective, as intimated by the new death-care mandates.  While living in the physical universe we need attachments such as money to function effectively.  Over time these attachments cease to support us and instead burden us.  The function of Saturn in the 8th house will motivate us to shed what is holding us back from spiritual and mental regeneration; in most cases it will be done through external circumstances.

There is Mutual Reception between Saturn in Scorpio and Pluto in Capricorn.  They are also in sextile aspect to one another, making their influence less difficult than would occur with a challenging aspect between them.  A rose among the thorns.  Mutual Reception occurs when two planets relate by being in the sign ruled by the other.  They tend to benefit each other through mutual aims, which in the case of these two planets means malevolence and manipulation.  Opportunities will be provided via the sextile aspect.  With Pluto in the 11th house manipulation will come from the legislative branches...those folks whom Americans thought represented the welfare of their constituents...while malevolence will express through avenues such as medicare, medicade, stealth euthanasia, the public's money, and inheritance taxes.   

The conjunction of Saturn and Mercury reconciles the Neptune/Venus opposition, as does Pluto.  That means the tremendous energies of the opposition will naturally flow to either Saturn/Mercury in Scorpio or to Pluto in Capricorn...or equally to both.  The result will be technological advances (Capricorn) by pharmaceutical companies (Neptune) to develop new biotech products that may add longevity to life...and because Pisces, from whence Neptune expresses, is a dual sign, the pharmaceutical companies will also develop new medical (read toxic) drugs to 'assist' those people who have been deemed unworthy of health care in their journey into the next life. 

This is the agenda that must be avoided if you wish to survive.  The first step, if you haven't already done so, is to learn everything you need to know in order to eat intelligently so that you can maintain a healthy body.  And then teach what you have learned to your loved ones.

"And thus I clothe my naked villany

With odd old ends stol'n out of holy writ,

And seem a saint, when most I play the devil."

King Richard III

NATURAL HEALING FOR PLANETARY STRESS

If everyone has been paying attention you will have noticed that over the past few months the lunations have been projecting ever increasing stress to earth dwellers. The heavens not only map what is to occur on the mirror of earth, they also map recourse to difficult times.  

Stress is the province of Uranus, the Awakener.  Under the square from Pluto, in effect until March 2015, we are being buffered by the winds of change, being forced to confront inner and outer reality so that spiritual growth will result in an evolutionary explosion.  This essay will address how to cope, understanding that stress describes our reactions to physical, mental, or emotional stimulus causing an upset to the body's natural balance.

There are a number of alternative methods which can be implemented to maintain our bodies in balance...we do not necessarily have to rely on only one.  Uranus has rulership over, and therefore affects, the nervous system, therefore, that is where healing methods shall focus. 

HERBS:  An excellent tea to keep nerves healthy is a combination of OATSTRAW and STINGING NETTLE herbs.  An easy method of having this combo on hand at all times is to make it in the evening by putting two tablespoons each of dried herb in a quart Mason jar, pouring boiling water to nearly the top of the jar, and then covering immediately.  Let it steep on the counter overnight.  In the morning, strain and drink a cupful, refrigerating the remainder for use during the day.  Make a fresh batch each evening.

GINSENG helps strengthen the systems of the body, thereby making handling of stress easier each time it is confronted, preventing loss of nutrients and maintaining the effectiveness of the immune system.

VALERIAN acts as a tranquilizer by affecting the central nervous system, without the side effects of its copycat toxic drug, Valium.  It is used as an antispasmodic, stress reducer, sleep aid, and in olden times as an antidote to the plague and in the treatment of epilepsy. Best method of taking it is via tincture...a dropperful in an ounce of water when needed. 

PASSIONFLOWER has a slightly narcotic effect and is used as a tranquilizer to treat tension (stress), fatigue, insomnia, and muscle spasms.  Best method of taking it is via tincture...a dropperful in an ounce of water when needed.

From time to time when I suffer a hard case of insomnia, I gain relief by mixing a dropperful of Valerian and a dropperful of Passionflower in a little water and drinking an hour before bedtime.

CHAMOMILE reduces stress with its gentle healing properties.  Best use is via a cup of tea when needed.

ESSENTIAL OILS and AROMATHERAPY:

LAVENDER essential oil effectively reduces anxiety and irritability while promoting relaxation...it is a fine stress reliever.  Either use in a diffuser, make a dream pillow, or put a drop on the edge of your pillowcase prior to bedtime.

GERANIUM essential oil is relaxing, sedative, tonic, and an anti-depressant, excellent for aiding the nervous system.  It opens the Solar Plexus Chakra and may help to discharge toxins from the liver that prevent emotional balance.  Massage two drops mixed with a carrier oil into the bottoms of both feet.

  

SANDALWOOD essential oil is a sedative, tonic, and an anti-depressant that brings emotional balance by relieving nervous tension...it has a calming effect.  Massage two drops mixed with a carrier oil into the bottoms of both feet.

BACH FLOWER REMEDIES:  To take flower remedies, add two drops of the essence to a few ounces of water and slowly sip...or take up to four drops from the dropper throughout the day as needed.

RESCUE REMEDY:  The ultimate in stress, tension, and anxiety relief, it is a blend of five Flower Essences: Impatiens, Star of Bethlehem, Cherry Plum, Rock Rose and Clematis.  Taken whenever you feel uptight and/or tense it can usually restore balance.

BEECH:  The remedy to take if you tend toward being easily irritated or have a rigid mental outlook.

GENTIAN:  Eases and gives relief of nervous tension, a negative outlook, depression, and those suffering a long-term illness.

VITAMINS and MINERALS:  The use of supplements will also grant benefits, most particularly Vitamin B supplements and the mineral Magnesium.  As to the latter, Magnesium oil or gel - a saturated solution of magnesium chloride in a water base - that is rubbed on various body parts and absorbed through the skin works faster than oral supplements.  Massaging Magnesium oil into the skin reduces stress and sore/stiff muscles by increasing the level of magnesium into the bloodstream.  The oil or gel is absorbed into the skin very quickly, leaving no oily residue.  Stress depletes magnesium and like Vitamin B6, magnesium is needed for serotonin production, an imbalance of which leads to depression.
