Jupiter in Aquarius 2009, the Winds of Change will be Mighty


The stupendous planet Jupiter, once known as the King of the Gods, takes just about one year to travel through a sign of the Zodiac. It is the planet of money, luck, expansion, and growth. We follow Jupiter through the signs and see the ups and downs of the price of real estate, inflation in currencies, and values of varying commodities. When Jupiter travels through good signs for wine, all vintners mark a fine year (the next will be 2010). In 2009 Jupiter enters Aquarius, the sign of technology, air, electricity, communication, and the collective society. Money is lining up to jump into new technology, mechanical, electrical, and organizational in terms of how the groups of humans will survive together. Everyone wants to own a car like the Americans, but that party is slowing down and changing. Fossil fuels are dying in the onslaught of electrical forces, and new engines to drive the people are going collective, rather than individual. It is the Age of the team, not the leader.
In the century that has most defined the Age of Aquarius, the 20th, human society entered the machine age, exploded in numbers, and put demands on the earth for energy that are unprecedented in our history. During that century Jupiter passed through Aquarius eight times, in its orbit of 11.86 years around the sun. 2009 is our first opportunity to feel the potential of the Jupiter effect in technology since the dot.com boom of 2000-2001. Our computers, which are an Aquarian icon, have spawned a generation who do not know a world without them. This group could be the most electrifying force that we have known in human form, Comparisons bring out the generations after great technologies changed the usefulness of human endeavor, fire, the wheel, the horse, sails, navigation, steam power, mass production, and electricity. If we look at the compression of technologies that were introduced in the 20th century alone, we see the astrological case for the dawn of the Age of Technology and Science, the Age of Aquarius. The Jupiter cycle is a small one compared to the 2,000 year ages that mark the changes in vast social culture, but it is not small when shown in our daily lives. It is the drive that will create fortunes in 2009, out of the best that we can make to activate and energize our world. All forms of energy are targeted, and since Aquarius is the fixed AIR sign, the harnessing of Air Power is in everyone's thoughts. Across the Zodiac from Aquarius is Leo, the sign that rules the Sun. Obviously the use of Solar Power has been on the drawing boards for years, but with new chances to refine the resources of the blanket of atmosphere surrounding our planet, the power of the sun makes a mathematical companion to Air. Mathematical, because of the partnership between Aquarius and Leo, with 2009 indicating the preference for Wind. The use of Solar Energy is a bigger deal, it is the technology of the entire Age, the next 2000 years, just as liquid fuel, ruled by Pisces, has been the mechanism of the
past 2,000 years. Exploration and travel by water have carried civilization further than anything on land could do, with the Age of Pisces bringing the rise of the great navies and commerce by ship. Since the Age of Aquarius began, in the 20th century, we have introduced travel by air for the first time since the age of Gemini, eight thousand years ago. but that's another story. This story is about Jupiter in the coming year producing and introducing technologies that are roaring to start, that we have dreamed of, and that our children now stand ready to command. In finance, watch for communal real estate, communal systems that produce collective systems of bartering, sharing, and globalizing all our needs. Have you heard about vast warehouses of rental clothes, tools, toys, and gardens, rendering buying and selling obsolete? Different that the communistic ideas of all being workers, this one is a model of all being users. Jupiter in Aquarius will give a laptop to every child, this planet and sign combine money and electronic communication in all ways. There will be new ways not yet thought of, but so profitable. Watch February of 2009 for some of the wildest, truest, and most astounding inventions, ever! Look at trade shows, technology seminars, and legislation involving manufacturing. Some will be the future, some of them will short out. But the best of them will be our new way of living in a very new time with very new needs. The real estate market will stay soft, while collective entities buy it up for countries, corporations, and conglomerates. The next rise in the prices of land and homes will not begin till 2011, nor be felt until 2012. Now the best buys are in farm land, water resources, and transportation routes. Globalization is inevitable, finding our place in the Big picture must begin now, we can't all be like gringos and live on credit much longer. Joining a group will save us from excruciating debt, but there is correction still playing out. It is called recession, depression, and unemployment. What it really is, is change, change in the way we make money. Riches are going to be more shared in 2009, by necessity and by design. Much money will be made on figuring out what team will profit. Buying and selling are shifting, necessities are going to be different. Communication devices are dominant, but water and food are the deeper need, and where the real innovations, or theft can occur. Watch for technology and human commitment appy to food and water, in ways that are a thundering truth, if only we will notice what is important and where it is going. Going is the theme of Aquarius, moving mass quantities of people and things through vast territories, so that going is what we are trying to re-invent.
Obama was born with Aquarius rising, he is the man for the times, and will have a honeymoon with the world in 2009. By 2010, the crocodiles will surface, and the pirates will be gunning for whatever has value, if we are lucky the guardian angels will also be on board, and have a hand in saving us from each other. New times will bring new treacheries. But the gates are awake and the vortex is churning, we cannot stop ourselves, we can only do our best with the blazing sun we've got. Jupiter is composed of burning helium, just like the sun. This astrologer thinks they were once the same body, and the smaller was thrown off the larger, and in turn threw off more particles, like Earth, from his forehead, Mars from his thigh, and Venus from his loins... or, oh, that was the God-- Jupiter...

Planets and Finance 2008

The smart money will be on food. Saturn is in Virgo, Virgo is the sign of Agriculture. It is the sign of a few other items in the news, but let's get with the most basic need of the planet, which is to feed itself. As creatures of a vast devouring capacity, our ability to find food was our first survival tactic, and as everyone who reads, knows, the ability to make food, and keep an extra supply has been the reason for the making of communities, cities, civilization and the wars to take it from each other. The USA has some of the finest and most plentiful soil for agriculture in the world. But big chemicals have been dominating our patterns and mechanics of making food for a very long time. In 2009 a challenge to the chemical industry is looming. That challenge is the rational need for better production, more careful conserving of soils, and finding out the truth about the ruinous use of chemicals in farming. The battle over seed cultures is huge, but covert, and is where the smart money has already made its claim. Virgo is also the sign of system, all systems. That means our physical system needs nutrition, but it also means that all systems are up for review. The way we farm, the way we process, as well as the more publicized way we consume are all "ripe" for change in 2009 as never before. This is what the tracking and interpretation of planets is all about--timing. There are times when good ideas cannot be implemented, no matter how worthy, and there are times when implementation is so ready that any idea will take place because receptivity is absolute.
So this time, this Saturn transit (Sept. 2007 till Oct. 2009) brings a rare, precise and dire moment in the equation between agriculture, water and chemistry/technology. As new and brilliant breakthroughs are occurring in the science of chemistry, so are tragic and horrific losses occurring in the water table and the water mechanics of planet earth. Our brilliance must compensate for our greed in the uses of water, and also in the recognition of dwindling water and vanishing snow and ice packs.
As Virgo rules health, and the caretakers who work in that field, health care is a karmic and time-ordered necessity during this great emphasis on the sign Virgo. But without water, and then without proper means to cultivate the sustaining foodstuffs, there will be no population to keep healthy. Underlying this message is the blaming of the pharmaceutical companies and the fertilizer manufacturers for unmitigated destructiveness in poisoning the planet and its inhabitants. The Saturn conjunction with the USA Neptune has happened before--every thirty years since our beginning, in fact. But this time the conflict can't just sink under a bribe; or be hidden by lies and false claims--this time big chem is being called out by no less than Uranus in Pisces. Truth in the water, fish out of heaven, lightning rods from the sea. The all-seeing eye cannot be fooled and not for long. Life is rising up to make us know, that our responsibility to ourselves has been trumped by our almighty gluttony. Not for the food, but for the easy money, and the wasteful trashing of precious earth. For the investment that will last unto the next generations and profit in multiple ways, buy green, think green and grow your own, or know your grower. That is a little piece, the bigger one is 6 billion mouths to feed, and that doesn't count the dogs in our purses that dine on endangered salmon, and slaughtered horses.

"I'll hug your elephant, and you can kiss my ass!"

The Bi-Partisan system in American Politics.
Is inherited from our British colonials, and is defined as a thoughtful balance between two essential principles of governing. The republic is the elected few who represent the many, being credited with having a superior wisdom or authority to be more cognizant of what must be done. The democracy is purely the will of the total majority. Mob rule vs. the aristocrats, which must be why I have seen carts rumbling into Wall Street to carry away the CEO's to the guillotines.
We must be protected from the Aristocrats, today's "rich," who have always taken everything because they have easier access; and we must be protected from the mob taking everything through their greater numbers and need. Who rules? The tiger or the carpenter ants? All of this is the reflection of the duality of the universe, which is always in balance. Some of the time the balance is equal at the same time and measure, which is the equation for peace. When the swing is extreme on either one side or the other, time will be the equalizer and the motion is violent. Creation requires destruction, but it does not require war. It takes just as much muscle and courage to swing a hammer, and quarry stone as it does to pull the triggers and bandage wounds. Who started these drug wars, anyway? Fights in the middle east over oil have been going on since the combustion engine in 1908. Both world wars were fought over oil. Oil has backed the currency of the world through the 20th century, and we are running on low. Hence the financial crisis. We could have started the move to a new collateral back on the Jupiter/Saturn conjunction of 2000, but the drinkers from the oil wells were too entrenched. Well, how much is left in the tank?
So the gift of the RNC and eight years of Rove, Cheney and Bush has been to destroy so many ethical principles that a revolt has manifested. Now, in equal proportion to the thievery and deceit will come the restoration and decency. The treasury was emptied, and we have to find the next gold.
Comes now the age of Ethics and it is an accelerated one, imploding on the former age of Power which began in the 1650's with the rise of manufactured power. According to the prophecy, it ended in 1999. We have until 2012 to participate in the Age of Ethics. With this election, we are joining, and must join with the whole world, to solidify the Ethics of our Time. Perhaps now we can empathize with Madame LaFarge, as she sat beside the guillotine, placidly knitting as the heads of the oblivious rolled away.

Obama's great destiny with the USA

Barack Obama has an almost perfect Presidential Chart. He has been referred to often during his campaign for office, as being and looking presidential. His balance of the two signs Leo and Aquarius could not be more perfect for our times and for the role of leader of the free world. Leo is a royal sign, symbolized by the Lion. Persons born under this sign have not always lived up to the ultimate dignity and responsibility of royalty, but Obama has wonderful mitigating facets, namely his Aquarius ascendant, which brings the universality of Aquarius, ruler of humankind, to extend his charismatic leonine qualities with perfect grace. At the hour of his birth,just up over the horizon, were two great planets: the giants, Jupiter and Saturn in their once-every-twenty-year-conjunction. These are the destiny pair, bringing responsibility and opportunity together, uniting those qualities for him in a way that accesses true spirit and makes his task a great one. This man has a contract, the kind we astrologers call fated, to lead and to rule. He has been preparing for lifetimes, for this role as leader of a nation that is supposed to be the champion of the Age of Aquarius. He leads at a time when his personality, his intelligence and his grasp of how to make those gifts useful can be appreciated. As all of us have chafed and suffered in the eight years of ruinous administration by Rove, Bush and Cheney--we can see today, that they were the years of punishment so that we could be prepared to accept greatness and real courage when it arrived in our midst.
One of the most uncanny things of all is this following phenomenon: Barack Obama was born with the 18th degree of Aquarius rising. In 1776, at 2:13 in the morning, on July the 4th, the Moon (of the USA) was at 18 degrees of Aquarius. Now the odds for that coincidence defy human calculation. The meaning of the Moon, is the soul, the emotions, the intuitive longing for why we wanted to be born. The United States was born with a soul longing to find an identity that matched our reflected reason for being. The USA Moon is the uppermost planet in our chart, the beacon to the world. In Aquarius it calls for Liberty, Equality and the Universal Hope that all peoples can communicate and live in harmony and usefulness together. This is the lamp that is lifted beside the golden door. It is our yearning to be free, and to share that freedom with each other. Today, in our United States of America, we have the embodiment, the manifestation of our ideal. His name is President Barack Obama. We are blessed beyond our deserving. So let us be his workers for this ideal, his army of citizens who lift ideals above greed, and hope above hate. Barack Obama's ascendant is exactly conjunct the United States' Moon. There is more about this man and the connections of his chart with the chart of the USA. It accounts for the profound emotion felt by of hundreds of thousands of Americans who have gathered whenever possible just to be in his presence. We haven't seen anything yet!

Palin's voice: stone deaf --Saturn conjuct Mars

This woman is the poster child for abortion. Her unheeding and irresponsible ways of bringing children into the world without intention and without devoted care, indicate the worst characteristics of detachment and coldness. Thoughtful and self preserving women since the beginning of time, have chosen to revoke a pregnancy instead of cause suffering for an unborn human and its primary parent. Souls cannot be created nor destroyed. The first principle of life, is that the soul enters the body with the first breath, and exits the body with the last one. To force people to reproduce against nature and against free will, is the beginning of enslavement on a primary level. In our time, we have seen women be liberated from this enslavement, freed from cruel and illegal abortions, and now we have a leader who is so against women, that she champions a cudgel that will reduce women to the enslavement that the 20th century so mercifully lifted.
Astrologers have deduced that she was born with Leo rising, and the Sun and moon in Aquarius.
With the sun in Aquarius, the astrology of her chart would assume that she would be modern, brainy, socially aware and ahead of her peers in understanding the needs of the whole of humanity. Well, what cancels those natural traits of her sun sign are the two Malignant planets right next to her sun, namely Mars, planet of violence, guns, maleness and force; and Saturn, ruler of obstacles, structure, and authority. No planet is a wrong one, but combinations can go wrong, bringing out the worst possibilities instead of the best. The indicator of how she is coming into focus right now is the transit of Saturn to her house of money and resources. In other words, this was a paid deal, and she is doing it for the money. Nothing new, but not exactly what we usually see in Aquarians, whose nature is altruistic, holistic and above all, humanitarian. McCain's planets meet hers in the house of money, and in the chart of the USA those degrees are the same as the USA Neptune, planet of illusions, treachery and dissolution of a chemical nature. The duo is appropriately rotten, and they will bring more stagnation to an already devastated country. That is why the politics of lies, insinuation and fear are their
standards and are carried as banners. In the old definition of the Republican principle, the ability to do the correct thing when the majority cannot agree, is their reason for existence. The tyranny of the all powerful is what this principle has become. We have seen it throughout history, and personally I think we are ready for the carts rolling to the guillotines, for the players on Wall Street. Sarah can pull the carts. She has the balls for it.

Where is the Money??
the USA is a rich country, rich in resources, and with triple fortune where others have none. We have no less than Jupiter, Venus and the Sun in our house of Money, in the Sign of eternal depth. In 2003 that pile of riches began to dwindle, to be fed to the howling packs who once fed, failed to reappear with any balance to refill the coffers. In that year Saturn moved into our money house, solidifying what was real (like estate) and pruning back all excess. Our President was born with the sun close to the degree that the USA sun is, and so he also began to be solidified, pruned and linked with the destiny of our own treasury. Could it be that his karma has been to empty the resources that he so easily connected with, and was identified with? OIL? As this commoditiy begins to reveal its mortality and finite measure, so are all of our values brought into the measure of truth and lasting worth. We are now reaching the critical mass of that robbery, and finally able to discern (Saturn in Virgo) just how seriously we have compromised our basic essence, how loosely we have squandered our creativity, and our ability to feed and clothe ourselves. Innovations in agriculture, infrastructure, and systems like health, transportation and communication are the necessities of today, and they contain magnificent opportunities for rebuilding and re-tooling for the requirements of the future. New ideas, younger perspectives, and an appreciation for the next generation of technologies are where the money is, and so far, it is not in the mainstream. We have become the nation of managers, instead of creators. We will forever carry the soul of creation, but we have lost our way and forgotten what we need.
In 2009, great innovations are ready to rise, and they require that we all have our health and plenty of nourishment. The soul is speaking in this conversation as well as the body. Remember, this is a time of Ethics. How we do things is as important as why, and how well will be counted in how true and how good we can be. Saturn stays in Virgo until 2010, and then our alliances will be our fortunes. For now, though, the critical eye is not going to rest.
election Day 2008

The Sun in Scorpio, the traditional voting season for the US, represents the collective exchange of power. This is the most intense part of the Zodiac, including the icons of death, money, and regeneration. In northern hempisphere cultures it is both the new year and the time of the celebration of the dead. Our Elections consume enormous amounts of money, are built through campaigns of battles and sparring ideaologies, and often are decided by the sex factor. So, simple answer to 2008, who is sexier, a tall elegant Obama or a little old McCain? there is is, folks the biological imperitive chooses for the sustaining of the species, Obama.
Early in the day, Saturn will be high in the sky, denoting the old, the traditonal, and the historic. By the closing of the polls on the west coast, it will have reached the lowest nadir, and our new president will fulfill the innovative and revolutionary destiny of the United States. We will elect our first African-American to lead us into the new millenia.

Who will be our next President of the USA?

Barack Obama has all the qualifications to fit the calendars of western Astrologers, including the Mayan. Since 1999 our times have called for Ethics. This replaces an age of Power dating back to 1632. The current time is a short one, and as our years since 1999 have proved, ethical indecision is costing us our planet.
Obama was born with Aquarius rising which fits the famous "cool" that he shows in his demeanor, as well as his sharpness in communication and his quickness in comprehending and articulating. His sun sign is Leo, which anchors the universality of Aquarius with unmistakable power and charisma. He is coming to office with the planets Saturn and Jupiter in very favorable transits.
He has all the attributes of a very great man, his chart shows a man of superior intelligence and destiny, endowed with a true sense of humor and natural courage. He is the first man of that rank we have seen in our generation.

McCain, has Libra rising and has lost irretrevable ground since the Mercury retrograde just finished in his 12th house, place of hidden agenda, secrets, treachery and behind the scenes action. Mars was with Mercury the day the phase began and will bring physical difficulties to an already deeply stressed Virgo sun sign. This sign has health issues, as in Presidents, Taft and LBJ. His are much more debilitating than he can overcome. Saturn, planet of old age is traveling across Mccain's Virgo planets and will deny him any thing that is not absolutely true. He is up against a much bigger master than politics now and through 2009. This is a very serious and difficult time for him.

Full Hunter's Moon, Mercury Direct in Libra

All the stock market failures of the 20th and 21st centuries have occured during the planet Mercury's retrograde phase of motion. The recent one had many warnings in greater, more ponderous planets, however.
The key dates are the spring of 2000, when Jupiter and Saturn were exactly on the same degree in the sign of money (Taurus) and the commodity that backed world currency was decreed. Again, as in 1940 it was oil and oil supplies.
In 2003, Saturn entered Cancer, the sign of homes and of the USA money reserves,
at that time began the crush on the verity of home prices. In that year the value of property was correct, it has not been since then. Also this began the robbery and emptying of the US treasury which was not detected until November of 2007, when Mars began its retrograde cycle on those same degrees in Cancer where the US planets of wealth are.
Is there some reason why October is continually the month in which our stock market crashes? Libra is the season where the Sun each year crosses the US Saturn, planet of non-negotiable reality. And in years when that occurs during a retrograde of Mercury--no one can hide. And so we are facing our history making choices that came in 2000, and 2003-4. These were times when responsibility for housing and money were paramount in seeing our way to continued security of home prices, and of currency in the world market.
Instead of insuring our wealth, it was given to the nearest grabbers.
