NewsScope for May 8, 2000 by WolfStar Love Bug Virus Spreads A computer virus dubbed the Love Bug spread rapidly across the global internet last week, sabotaging millions of personal, corporate and government computers. Computer security systems braced for at least seven mutations of the malicious program over the weekend, while antivirus software was being rapidly deployed. The comparison of internet vandalism to an infectious disease works well to describe the public danger, and is especially relevant from an astrological perspective. When the planet of sudden crisis, Uranus, is in the social sign of Aquarius, the potential threat comes in the form of rapidly spreading social problem. The risk has become extra high now since transiting Uranus is nearing the U.S. Aquarius Moon, located in the fourth house of domestic security. Looking back into history, the last time transiting Uranus was conjunct the U.S. Moon was during World War I. The open interaction of millions of soldiers helped escalate a severe influenza bug into a pandemic that killed over 21 million people around the world. The first U.S. case was reported in New York on August 27, 1918, a day that corresponds to the precise conjunction of transiting Uranus to the U.S. Moon. The U.S. Moon currently is receiving additional astrological pressure from transiting Saturn and Jupiter. Although it's getting close, transiting Uranus won't be conjunct the U.S. Moon for another two years. At the moment, Jupiter's square this June 9 followed by Saturn's square on June 20 circumscribes an immediate danger zone for American epidemics, whether that be from infected emails or actual infectious diseases. National Security Threatened by Planetary Alignment Smug news analysts wrote off last week's seven-planet alignment in Taurus with comments like "The world didn't end" and "The dog that didn't bark." While novice astrologers who filter their reality through the gloomy lens of biblical prophecy were certainly proven to be in error, the political astrologer could hardly say that nothing significant happened. National security advisers take the computer virus seriously, especially now that the U.S. horoscope has seven planets in the seventh house of Open Enemies. Saturn in Taurus is the centerpiece to this over-weighted zodiac zone. The 29-year cycle of Saturn in the seventh house has previously brought Americans a quagmire in Vietnam, and a surprise attack on Pearl Harbor in 1941. On October 1, 1999 the Pentagon created a cyberwarfare center in Colorado to facilitate attack and counterattack operations in cyberspace. This new post began operations when transiting Saturn was in the U.S. seventh house and exactly square the Midheaven. In addition, the FBI has a top secret division known as the NIPC (National Infrastructure Protection Center) which works with the military in the event of attack on American systems. In related news, the Russian parliament ratified the START II Treaty, and is seeking to implement a START III Treaty as soon as possible. These treaties radically reduce the nuclear missile stockpiles, but at the dawning of the age of cyberwarfare, nuclear missiles are becoming obsolete. American cyber-warriors assisted NATO in the war in Kosovo by hacking into Yugoslavia's air defense system and President Milosevic's bank accounts. Drew Carey: Actor, Writer and Closet Mystic Actor and comedian Drew Carey played the lead in Walt Disney's Geppetto last Sunday, a surprising dramatic stretch from his normal role as the zany office drone in the Drew Carey Show. Carey was also a top-winning contestant in ABC's celebrity version of "Who Wants to be a Millionaire?" and his book "Dirty Jokes and Beer: Stories of the Unrefined" is now a bestseller. Drew Carey was born a multi-talented, friendly Gemini (on May 23, 1958; Cleveland OH, 7:00 pm*) with dead-pan Scorpio Rising. The Moon in warm-hearted Leo makes him a natural to host and produce the popular "Whose Line is it Anyway?" Astrologer Noel Tyl considers a horoscope's closest square to be the best vocational indicator, and in Carey's case this hypothesis works out perfectly. His Mercury square Uranus describes someone with a lightning quick wit, and a mind flashing with spontaneity and original ideas. The square tends to make one unconventional, often disconnected or impatient, and prone to tactless statements. For a humorist, these qualities become the source of his wonderful ability to tickle the funny bone. Carey has an understated sensitive, caring side which emerges in roles like Geppetto or when he donated his $250,000 "Millionaire" winnings to an Ohio university library. Mars in Pisces, plus the Moon and Mercury both linked to his twelfth house Neptune make him a closet mystic and prophet. * birth time is according to his mother, who states at 7 or a few minutes after.
