Target: America

Within hours of last week’s Lunar Eclipse, twin terrorist bombing attacks on American Embassies in Eastern Africa killed or wounded thousands of innocent bystanders. Dozens of U.S. specialists were immediately dispatched to the scene to assist victims, and sift through the rubble for clues to identify the perpetrators.

While explosive experts compare bomb fragments to evidence from previous incidents of international terrorism, astrologers can perform similar operations using planetary signatures. The last two car bomb attacks in the Middle East occurred on June 25, 1996 (Dhahran, Saudi Arabia) and November 13, 1995 (Riyadh, Saudi Arabia). This most recent attack occurred at 10:35 am on August 7 in Kenya’s capital, Nairobi.

All three of these terrorist events show individual dynamics to the U.S. horoscope, such as the Lunar Eclipse to the U.S. Midheaven described here last week. They also each have common planetary combinations and degree zones activated which can be seen as a terrorist signature. For example, all three event charts feature strong connections between Pluto and Ceres, reflecting great loss of life.

Then, all three of these charts show a Venus-Mars conjunction closely aspecting Jupiter, a specific combination which by itself is not usually connected to terrorism. The Venus-Mars-Jupiter array then becomes an identifying signature. While Mars is closely associated with violence, Venus-Jupiter contacts are more reflective of great wealth. These indications point to a wealthy sponsor for terrorism.

Currently, investigators are focusing on followers of Osama bin Laden, a multimillionaire Saudi-born financier who has sworn to wage a holy war on the United States. American intelligence has previously implicated the international terrorist group known as Hezbollah in the Saudi bombings. Since the planetary signature of last week’s bombings match the previous car bombings, Hezbollah seems the most likely suspect as the militant arm (Mars) of the Saudi financier (Venus-Jupiter).

Retrograde Mercury Leaks Information

The day after Monica Lewinski gave secret testimony before the grand jury, headlines across the nation reported that she contradicted her previous sworn account and actually had a sexual affair with the President. Since this story first broke into the mainstream last January, secret testimony, sealed rulings, and confidential talks have regularly led the top news headlines.

Now that Mercury, the planetary ruler of information, is retrograde, the leaks have become a source of trouble for Kenneth Starr. A Federal Court judge ruled last week that the prosecutors deliberately leaked grand jury secrets. The ruling came as Mercury moved backwards across Clinton’s Sun, and opposed the U.S. Moon, representing the public.

Mercury retrograde is releasing far more scandal information than the public wants. Focusing on Monica leaves important stories untended and pushed onto the back pages. Campaign finance reform, once pronounced dead, is now alive after the House revived it last week. Major confrontations in Kosovo and Iraq went largely unnoticed, although military operations may be imminent.

This month’s awesome planetary shifts promise historic developments on many fronts. Over the next week Saturn and Pluto change directions, and later in August we will have a Solar Eclipse. Getting accurate and timely information on the most relevant events may be difficult until Mercury turns direct on August 23.

Tom Hanks Saves Private Ryan

Vesta, the asteroid governing secret intelligence operations, is currently conjunct the U.S. Sun. This important transit reflects the covert search for international terrorists following last week’s bomb attacks. Vesta conjunct the U.S. Sun was also a prominent astrological feature of D-Day, June 6, 1944, which beautifully portrays the intensely secret logistics of such a huge operation.

This World War II invasion scene was realistically filmed by Steven Spielberg and is presented in the opening half hour sequence of “Saving Private Ryan,” currently the largest grossing film at the box office. This shocking and breath-taking film stars Tom Hanks, who was born when the Sun was in sensitive Cancer (July 9, 1956; 11:17 am; Concord, CA).

Hanks is one of only three or four actors who can command $15 to $20 million per film. His planetary locations closely align with the U.S. planets, so that he personifies fundamental American archetypes. Venus in Gemini near his career point (the Midheaven, or MC) describes his many romantic roles and his clever and charming wit. This Venus/MC is also near the U.S. Mars, showing his pre-occupation and permutations of male stereotypes.

The activation of Hanks’ Lunar Node axis shows how his personal evolution is demonstrated in his chosen film roles. He is moving away from witty comedy, usually portrayed as an impatient, scattered, talkative yuppie (Gemini South Node), to a philosophical quest for meaning and values (Sagittarius North Node). Saving Private Ryan, a gory tale of insanity in the midst of patriotic fervor, appears as transiting Pluto lands exactly on his North Node.
