Soldiers with PTST

The news is discussing the staff sargeant who allegedly left his post and went into a town in Afghanistan and skilled 16 people, including children. Of course, I'd like to see his personal astrological chart.

Someday, astrology will play an important part in selecting which people (men and women) go into combat and which do not. A chart tells us who is more sensitive and who is less sensitive. It is the more sensitive people who have a harder time dealing with the violence of war. This is true whether or not the individuals are directly involved. Just listening to bombs and armaments fired can more strongly upset those individuals of all ages who are more sensitive.

The use of Astrology will make the world such a better place in terms of who does what. This is especially true when using Decans, Dwads, and Sub-Dwads, which take us to the very specific energies for individuals. This will show up in twins who are born a couple of minutes or more apart, yet appear to be very different. More on this latter situation later.

I'm sure when we see the accurate chart for the staff sargeant, we will calculate WHY this happened - what was the trigger within him that motivated his actions, if he is the person responsible.

The Illegal Immigration Issue Needs to be Solved

It appears that most illegal immigrants FROM THE MANY NATIONS FROM WHICH THEY COME are in the United States in order to have a better life for themselves and their families.  A few are here as criminals and some to promote terrorism.

One problem is determining to which of those three categories an immigrant belongs.  Since I cannot determine that, in this blog, I will refer only to those who are here for a better life.

It is true that the U.S. has laws about immigration.  It would be preferable for everyone coming from another country to enter legally.  That is an ideal and, as with most ideals, the reality is more practical.

Since immigrants come illegally, what do we do about it?  In my opinion, the first step should be to secure the borders so that the problem doesn't increase.  That would stop any future problem and, if I were President, I would bring home our troops from Afghanistan and Pakistan and place them along the border.  That problem solved.

The more difficult problem is what to do about the illegal immigrants who are here now.  There seems to be two possible choices: 1) send them all home or 2) bring them into some form of legality.

It appears to be an impossible task to send home all the illegal immigrants, which allegedly total over 12 million.  If this is impossible, then it is time to create some type of program to legality.

I'm torn by this issue.  I'm very much a law and order person and I believe laws should be enforced.  However, many of the illegal immigrants have come here and given birth to children here who are legal citizens.  I know some of these children.  They, and their parents, are worried all the time about the parents being caught and deported. That is a horrible way to live - always thinking somebody is at one's back, not feeling comfortable calling on law enforcement when one needs help, etc.

The children, most of whom grow up learning English as well as their parents' native languages, serve as interpreters, bill payers, etc., when dealing with the everyday life in America.  This is so unfair to the children, especially when they already are worried about their parents being deported.  Kids should have the opportunity to be kids.  An adult's life is full of problems and it would be wonderful for kids to never have to deal with those problems until they have become adults.

There is a great deal of worry and pain associated with illegal immigration.  There also is enormous frustration that the issue is placed on the backburner and nothing done.  This perpetuates the problem.  Grandchildren then must wear the invisible overcoat of worry. 

America should be a happier place than it is because of this issue (and I'm not even considering the current economic decline).

America has been the greatest country in the world for decades and decades.  America is people.  Aren't the people here capable of solving this issue?  It is time.  Again, either send everyone home or provide steps to a level of legality and that level does not have to include the privileges of voting.  I personally do not believe anyone here illegally should have the right to vote. 

Also, many of the people opposed to offering citizenship to illegal immigrants do so because of the voting issue.  If that were off the table, some of those opposing complete acceptance of making all illegal immigrants citizens would be fine with a new law offering a special category of non-voting citizenship.

By the way, in case you didn't know, in forming corporations, there are categories - non-voting preferred stock, voting common stock, et al.

Would those people who are now illegal immigrants accept citizenship if it didn't carry the right to vote but did carry all other responsibilities (paying income tax, social security, medicare, obtaining all licenses required to drive cars, open businesses, etc.).  I think many illegals would gladly give up voting rights in order to become citizens.  Their children born here would have voting rights.  And it is a horrible fact that many Americans born in this country don't bother to vote.  Obviously, voting isn't important to everyone, although it always has been important to me.

I've thought long and hard about whether or not I would cross a border illegally to improve my life and I wouldn't break the law for that.  But for my children? I might break the law.  Since I haven't had to face that, I don't truly know what action I would take. 

When on the campaign trail, Sen. Obama made promises to take care of the illegal immigration problem if elected President. It is time for President Obama to fulfill that promise.  People living in America should feel like Americans and not be torn between two countries.  As President Lincoln stated, "A house divided cannot stand."

I say we should secure the border and solve the illegal immigration problem.  We really have other issues that need attention (especially joblessness, failing economy, rising healthcare costs, failing schools, etc., etc., etc.)

Comments are welcome, especially on the idea of citizenship without voting rights.

 

Not much to say

I wanted to write something.  The U.S. as we know it is ending.  I know the date, but not interested at this time in revealing it.

Assassination of Osama Bin Laden

I had rectified a chart for the USA. As mentioned earlier, I don't use the July 4, 1776 chart. To me that is labor pains and the US wasn't yet born and also wasn't legally a country yet.

When I rectify, I don't look at or for Arabian Points. I look only at events. After rectifying the chart to show time of event, it was interesting that the Part of Assassination lay exactly on the natal planet Neptune (Part Assassination conjunct natal Neptune).

I had mentioned Neptune at 18 degrees Libra in a previous post. The Part of Assassination for the USA chart I use is at 18 Libra. Again, when I rectified the USA chart to find the correct time, I had no idea the Part of Assassination would sit on top of the Planet of Assassination, but that is what happened.

In the natal USA chart progressed to the assassination of President John F. Kennedy, the Midheaven was at 18 Pisces. In Aquarian Age Astrology, we could say the Midheaven exactly takes on the Part of Assassination to handle. We use this phrase when talking about an inconjunct aspect and the inconjunct is applying.  Since the progressed Midheaven was at 18 Pisces, the progressed Nadir was at 18 Virgo or exactly connecting to the Part of Assassination in the natal chart.

Chiron and the East Point were conjunct at 18 Gemini. This makes the West Point at 18 Sag, which was exactly square or a force taking on to the MC. 

Other Midpoints on that progressed chart that are interesting to us are Saturn/Uranus at 19 Taurus, Moon/Jupiter at 18 Cancer, Jupiter/Ascendant at 18 Cancer, Neptune/Pluto at 19 Sag, Mercury/Saturn at 19 Cap, and Sun/Pluto at 19 Cap.

Doesn't all this activity on the 8th Seat of train cars point to reinforcement that the Part of Assassination in the natal chart was being activated through aspects. Also aspected would be that Natal Neptune, the dream planet. In other words, the American Dream was affected and so many tears flowed (again Neptune).

Regarding midpoints, the Part of Assassination in the progressed chart was at 18 Leo.

It is interesting that the 18 degrees is coming up again soon by planetary aspects in the progressed chart of the USA.

Other assassinations of U.S. Presidents had 17, 18, 19 degree aspects. Interesting!

Astrology tells the story!

Why Astrologers Don't Reveal Predictions

If an Astrologer were to gain a reputation of predicting mundane (global) events accurately, people would pay attention to those predictions. Once the Astrologer then revealed a specific prediction, people involved or related to that event could influence an alteration of the event. This would apply to events considered for good or for evil.

For example, it is possible that Astrologers who knew the attack on Osama Bin Laden would be coming on May 1 (using the American chart) may have kept their predictions quiet so that the event could play out? Otherwise, had Astrologers revealed the prediction, could they be accused of helping to change the event or even of facilitating an act of treason toward their native country. If an Astrologer had predicted the Bin Laden death and such prediction had facilitated an escape of Bin Laden, would that be treason? This is something to think about.

Osama Bin Laden - Why Now?

I haven't looked at the typical US chart used by most Astrologers (based on July 4, 1776). I don't use a chart for 1776.

In the chart I use and which I rectified years ago, the progressed Mercury (communication) is exactly trine Natal Neptune, the planet of assassinations, on May 4. That means the culmination would be in a few days. I call this "on the nose."

Today, May 1, Transiting Mercury is opposed to Natal Neptune. Therefore, the news regarding that trine comes out today.

In Aquarian Age Astrology, an opposition is a potential to speak and also the peak of something happening and this happening bring global awareness due to the opposition representing the 7th position.

Today, the news would be regarding an assassination. Natal Neptune in the chart I use is located at 18 Libra 22 or sitting on the 8th "Seat" in the Libra car. This is the Taurus seat. The 8th Seat is always about obsession or occupied with. Libra is Val U. Refining, the elimination system. Therefore, the assassination would be of someone, a mysterious person (Neptune) with whom the U.S. has been obsessed with in terms of eliminating.

No surpise, therefore, that the news tonight was the killing of Osama. One question is, who killed Osama? Was it U.S. Navy Seals or was it someone in Osama's group? After all, Osama always has stated he expected his colleagues to kill him and keep him from falling into the hands of the Americans.

I'm sure more news will be released. I do watch Al Jazeera for my news in order to get a viewpoint that balances the bias of the American media.

Another question is what will be the response of Al Qaeda? We shall see! I will be looking at the U.S. chart for ramifications of today's action.

It is interesting that Osama has been reported to be a Pisces, which is ruled by Neptune in Piscean Age Astrology.

The Royal Wedding of Prince William and Catherine

I watched the entire event on KERA this morning. This was a BBC production and there were no commercials. In my opinion, the pagentry was fabulous. I thought the ceremony was beautiful and the words very meaningful.

Thankfully, this is a benign monarchy and not the old willful and terroristic type of monarchy that once prevailed in Great Britain. This is meaningful to some of us, myself included, since so many people (including ancestors) died to free us who are Americans of monarchy. It is interesting to observe how many Americans are in awe of monarchy now. I hope the influence they are under represents that of a non-political gallant celebration rather than monarchy as a desirable type of government. It is well to remember, Great Britain is a Constitutional Monarchy - the Royals handle pagentry and do not control policy. 

It was interesting to observe the facial expressions and body languages of the bride and groom. What I saw reflected what i have seen in their natal charts. Unfortunately, I don't see authenticity in the charts. I don't see a marriage for love. I do see two friends getting from the union something they each need.

In the chart, I see William forcing himself to marry in order to produce children. Also, he has a double-intercepted chart, with one of those interceptions in the 1st-7th House polarity. This means there is something behind the surface regarding the marriage. While I believe I know what it is, my preference is to not state what is the indication.

I see Catherine setting this marriage as a goal and allowing nothing to interfere. I would love to see her chart compared to her Grandmother Dorothy's chart.

In Piscean Age Astrology, Prince William's 7th House is ruled by the twin sign of Gemini. The ruler of Gemini is Mercury and in his chart, Mercury is in Gemini. Often, a dual sign on the 7th House cusp indicates more than one marriage.

His MC, which is the end of the marriage, is Scorpio, which is ruled by Pluto, which overturns and, again, shows something behind the surface.

The are more interesting observations that come with delineating William's chart and comparing his chart to that of Catherine. The theme of the charts is "practicality and image come first."

As always, Time will Tell!
