U.S. vs. Sun-Uranus People
Bill Gates has been invoking the memory of industrialist
and philanthropist Andrew Carnegie lately by funding
internet access in America’s libraries. Carnegie escaped his
reputation as a Robber Baron by donating huge sums of his
personal fortune to improve libraries. Now Gates, under
attack from the Justice department, has cloned this plan
exactly one Neptune Return after Carnegie’s birth
(November 25, 1835).
Both Gates and Carnegie were born with the Sun square
Uranus, an aspect that is destined to break traditions.
Sun-Uranus people can be eccentric geniuses, leading
cultural revolution with their broad vision. Sun-Uranus
people tend to be uncontrollable since personal freedom
and independence are premium values.
The U.S. government has been having trouble with
Sun-Uranus individuals lately, perhaps due to the influx of
planets in Aquarius, the sign ruled by Uranus. Saddam
Hussein has Sun conjunct Uranus in the immovable sign of
Taurus. Most recently, Slobodan Milosevic (b. August 29,
1941) has been brutally subduing the Kosovo Liberation
Army, a development Secretary Albright has vowed to halt.
Milosevic has his Virgo Sun squaring Uranus, a
configuration just activated by the Solar eclipse. The
Serbian President will likely soon be put in his place as
transiting Saturn is nearing his aggressive Aries Mars.
Watch this coming week around the Lunar Eclipse
(scheduled for March 12 at 11:34 PM EST) for further
developments.
Water on the Moon
Last week NASA scientists announced that the neutron
spectrometer aboard the lunar spacecraft Prospector has
detected ice crystals near the Moon’s polar caps. Enough
water is present to begin thinking about developing a lunar
base, essentially humanity’s first space colony.
Astrologically, humanity is experiencing one of those rare
cycles that fosters tremendous evolutionary growth. Pluto
in Sagittarius brings political and economic power (Pluto)
to explore and expand the horizons of the known universe
(Sagittarius). Pluto enters Sagittarius approximately every
245 years, and remains in the sign of the Quest for about 14
years.
Coincidentally, Uranus is now in innovative, experimental
Aquarius, a cycle which recurs every 84 years. The Uranian
vibration propels the exploratory tendencies of a Sagittarius
Pluto with new ideas and technologies of how to get there.
The composer of the celestial music of the spheres has
created the rhythms of Uranus and Pluto in an almost exact
three-to-one ratio, so that when Pluto enters Sagittarius,
Uranus is in Aquarius.
These two cycles weave together to create extraordinary
Golden Ages. The last time these two teamed up in
Sagittarius and Aquarius was around 1750, an enlightened
epoch so distinctive that historians have dubbed it the Age
of Reason. The previous cycle was around 1505 at the
height of the Renaissance and Age of Exploration.
Eileen Collins Takes One Giant Step
Last Thursday Hillary Clinton named Lt. Col. Eileen
Collins to be the first woman to command a space shuttle
when Columbia is launched this coming December. The
NASA space mission will include the deployment of a
massive $1.4 billion X-ray telescope to complement the
Hubble Telescope.
Collins was born with the Sun in focused Scorpio (Nov.19,
1956 in Elmira, NY, time unknown). A Gemini Moon
makes her adept at communications, and adds levity and
charm to the otherwise intensely self-controlled Scorpio
personality. Collins initially worked in Mission Control as
a spacecraft communicator (CAPCOM), and undoubtedly
will have much to report regarding her pioneering
experiences.
With her Venus and Mars in close aspect to each other,
Collins is well aware of the erotic tension within the Air
Force, as the Pentagon and the country attempt to bridge
the gender gap. She is blessed with enormous mental
discipline (Mercury conjunct Saturn, square Pluto) to play
by the rules, and achieve the highest academic honors.
Collins’ horoscope compared to the U.S. horoscope* neatly
describes why she should be chosen. Her fortunate
Sun-Jupiter connection is perfectly meshed with the U.S.
Pluto (the U.S. chart ruler). Ms. Clinton made last week’s
announcement as Collins’ progressed Mercury was
precisely conjunct the U.S. Pluto and favorably activating
her Sun-Jupiter.
Collins’ Saturn in Sagittarius is another fortuitous
placement in that it lies atop the First Flight chart (as
established by the Wright brothers in 1903). The First
Flight horoscope can be used to map out space exploration
and has Sagittarius at the Midheaven. This zodiacal zone
was recently activated by the Solar Eclipse (plus Jupiter
and Pluto), and reveals that Collins’ career is
sky-rocketing.
