NewsScope for June 19, 2000 by WolfStar The Return of the X Files Secret files from the X Division of Los Alamos National Laboratory were discovered last Friday under highly suspicious circumstances. The files, contained on two computer hard drives, have been missing since at least May 7, but were only reported missing a week ago. Regular readers of NewsScope were ready for this kind of national security issue since the astrological indicators were described last week: "Watch between now and June 20 when Saturn forms it's exact square to the U.S. Moon for the most significant confrontations, threats, and actual attacks on national security." From this marker, the astrologer can dismiss the claim by some officials that the files were merely misplaced. For another astrological angle on this situation, have a second look at the foundation horoscope for Los Alamos (November 16, 1942; 4 pm; Los Alamos, NM), first presented in NewsScope's May 22 column. Saturn, the natural ruler of management and structured organizations, is being challenged by an opposition from penetrating Pluto. Pluto first opposed this Saturn last year when American nuclear scientist Wen Ho Lee was accused of spying for China. Now another potential mole has been discovered. The FBI is conducting polygraph tests, and the top six managers at Los Alamos have been placed on administrative leave. Transiting Pluto only gets closer and more intensely related to the Los Alamos Saturn over the next few months. We can expect a growing debacle over these mysterious X Files. Sunrise Over Korea After decades of unending, bitter conflict, leaders from North and South Korea met at an historic summit last week to make friends and promote the process of reunification. The border between the two Koreas has long been one of the most bizarre and dangerous places on Spaceship Earth, and the last deadly frontier of the Cold War. The Korean War erupted on June 25, 1950 one Chiron cycle ago. In the time it took Chiron, frequently known as the Wounded Healer, to make one orbit around the Sun, the divided countries have come full circle to heal old wounds. Now Chiron is accompanied by Pluto, the planet associated with survival and regeneration. North Korea's extreme economic crises has led to massive starvation while South Korea's robust economy makes it a prominent player among the Asian tigers. Much credit for the summit has been given to both North Korea's reclusive premier Kim Jong Il and South Korea's President Kim Dae-jong. The Kims are as different as the two Koreas, but both are survivors. Kim Jong Il (b. February 16, 1942) has the classic dictator aspect of the Sun square Uranus, now being activated by the epochal Jupiter-Saturn conjunction. Kim Dae-jong (b. January 6, 1924) arrived at the head of South Korea's government following many assassination attempts and covert harassment as the leader of a vocal opposition party. This surviving instinct can be seen in his Sun opposite Pluto. Dae-jong is favorably aligned with North Korea's leadership since his kind-hearted, paternalistic Ceres is conjunct Jong Il's Sun. The meeting is like the return of the prodigal son. Phil Jackson, New Age Champion Los Angeles Lakers' coach Phil Jackson is a living zen paradox. On the one hand, he is establishing a second NBA dynasty with superstars Shaquille O'Neil and Kobe Bryant in one of the most competitive, big-money games on the planet. Then, he routinely talks about spiritual lessons, taking transcendental mysticism and techniques from Eastern, Indian, and New Age philosophies. Phil Jackson was born an analytical Virgo (September 17, 1945; 5:40 pm; Deer Lodge, MT), with his Moon in the team player sign of Aquarius. Jackson's willingness, even eagerness to try radical or unusual approaches to coaching can be seen in the Sun and Mercury's square to evolutionary Uranus. The synthesis of New Age selflessness and compassion with the arrogance and personal power of basketball superstars has become Jackson's personal calling card. Competitive Mars dominates his horoscope by its conjunction to the north node. According to esoteric astrology, Mars here represents a calling, a path that needs to be taken to achieve one's higher destiny. Mars is placed in the 5th house of sports where it receives a major challenging square from the religious planets Jupiter and Neptune. Jackson's entire personal identity is wrapped up in this conflict since these three planets form exact aspects to his Aquarius Ascendant. Aquarius is known for its association with the New Age, although in the basketball world it tends to manifest as a team player. Jackson got Shaq and Kobe to work together by using a favorite Hopi saying: "One finger can't lift a pebble." Reader feedback is welcome. Click here for feedback.
