Thoughts for October 2004

Thursday Take Two

I'd just like to make a further point about the quintiles. I'm not telling people to meditate for anything. What I'd doing is highlighting a particularly fruitful period where this ephemeral energy could be tapped for the collective good, what ever that may be. I'm definitely not telling you who to vote for. Perhaps we could all meditate for politicians who don't just want to get their noses in the trough?

Thursday Take One

Today we have a lunar eclipse and the second instalment of the Grand Quintile. I have been sent a message from an astrologer in New York which I would like to share with you. It concerns how you could tune into this very rare configuration and attempt to "do your bit".

Tomorrow will see the second grand quintile this month along with the full Moon. I've written a separate piece about this as there are some very special link between the new and full Moons and the Quintiles.

The planets are in some strange positions at the moment; you could say they're sulking. Most of them are unaspected which can lead to a lack of coherence and is certainly not good for joined up thinking. The Moon, due to its fast progress round the zodiac, does pick up these isolated planets fairly regularly as does the Sun, which is separating from its square to Saturn which was perfected yesterday. No wonder the left hand doesn't know what the right hand is doing.

Stories are starting to emerge detailing the so called dirty tricks which people have been experiencing in Florida. There are stories of phone votes and calls getting people to register themselves for an absentee vote to name but none of this activity comes from the election office. Astrologically you can see Mercury is in Scorpio and is firmly ruled by Mars, but Mars is in its detriment and has no strength of character being in turn ruled by Venus in her fall in Virgo. This chain of rulerships does not bode well for the integrity of the campaign in its last two weeks.

Advanced voting starts today in Florida and at 7 am in Tallahassee Mars is conjunct the ascendant. This isn't particularly surprising, after all the situation in Iraq is a significant factor in this election but this Mars is in its fall and rules the seventh house; if this were a battle it would be a major clue to an opposition victory. Building to an exact aspect, in addition to the Sun, Moon and Saturn, see below, is the Venus Pluto square. This will hit Kerry's chart, the Luminaries will hit Bush. My money is on a further breakdown in function for the President and more scandals or negative campaigning for Kerry.

The next six days sees a build up of tension which hits many points involved in current politics: Blair, the USA, Bush and many other players in the Iraq story have points at 26/27 of the cardinal points. On 21st October, the Sun and Moon will square and oppose respectively Saturn at 27 Cancer. All of these planets will be in their detriment or fall. George W Bush's Saturn is at 26 Cancer: he's on his second Saturn return. This isn't surprising, phases of the Saturn cycle relate to, among other things, increases in responsibility but they also relate to receiving just desserts. Today Mars trines Neptune and the Moon will square it. This sounds very much like more underhand force against the people.

Today's Saturn Mercury Square, which ties in my own Saturn Mercury opposition, coincides nicely with my new idea for the website. I've wanted to do this for a while, but haven't quite found the correct format. Hopefully this is it. This mornings eclipse in Libra had Venus conjunct the ascendant for London with the cluster of Libra planets in the second house of moveable property. Now there has been a lot of focus on saying sorry lately but this morning the Chancellor Gordon Brown announced further measures to deal with terrorist grounds and their assets. The Libra emphasis also keeps talk of treatise in the news with John Kerry bringing Kyoto into the debate although he hasn't gone so far as to say the US should sign up. Beware peace makers in sheep's clothing.
