George Bush: What Does His Chart Show
Now?
The eclipses of the past month and today are very active in George
Bush’s chart.
Particularly strong is the one of June 10th which conjoins his natal
Uranus.
Today’s eclipse, at 3 Capricorn, squares his natal Neptune and his
solar arc
Asc/Mercury/Pluto, which are approaching a conjunction to that
Neptune. I had a
question from someone last time about the validity of square aspects
from
eclipses, and from personal experience I have to say unequivocally,
YES, they do
have an effect. However, the one of June 10th was the most powerful
for several
reasons.
First it was conjunct Uranus and the nodal axis both within a
degree.
Conjunctions are most powerful. Further, (and this is really
important)
secondary progressed Ascendant is close to squaring the midpoint
between them,
and solar arc Saturn, at 20:09 Virgo, is 16 minutes from squaring
the nodes at
20:35 Gemini/Sag. With Saturn about to transit that point, and Pluto
close
behind to follow suit in opposition, we can expect quite a bit of
drama in the
next several months. In fact, in only one month, the secondary
progressed Moon
will square his progressed Saturn. That is sadness and possibly
depression.
But, what about my new favorite fascination, the tertiary
progressions? Well,
going back to September 11th, you will be amazed to learn that on
9/11/01,
George Bush’s tertiary ascendant was at the midpoint within 4
minutes between
his natal Pluto and tertiary Pluto. The Natal is 10:35 Leo, the
tertiary Pluto
was 13:50 Leo and the tertiary ascendant, which moves a degree a
month, was at
12:15 Leo. There appears to be upheaval in anyone’s life when the
tertiary
planets and angles trigger Pluto. Plus, tertiary Saturn was conjunct
his natal
Venus within 4 minutes, and tertiary Mars was square tertiary Uranus
within 6
minutes. I’ve heard others in this business adamantly declare that
tertiary
planets do not interact with each other, but I believe that they do,
just as the
secondaries do. Mars/Uranus interaction is sudden violence, and the
9/11 event
fit like a glove. Further, tertiary Jupiter was within 7 minutes of
conjoining
the natal south node. He did gain a lot of popularity in his
handling of this.
And what about today’s tertiary aspects? His tertiary MC is leaving
a recent
square (about two weeks ago) to natal Pluto, so he has been under
enormous
stress. Yesterday and today, no matter how it appears on the news,
he has been
emotionally impatient and probably upset. Transiting Uranus has been
conjunct
his tertiary Moon. But that lasts only a couple days and will be
separating
tomorrow. In the next three weeks, tertiary Ascendant will trine
tert. Jupiter
and conjunct natal Venus, so he will appear to be doing great and
may even relax
a bit.
However, in four to five months, tertiary Ascendant will conjunct
tertiary
Saturn at which time he’ll probably feel very tired and be carrying
a heavy
burden. Ever since last fall, the tertiary nodal axis has been
within one degree
retrograding square President Bush’s natal Pluto/Mercury
conjunction. It will be
finishing it’s traversing of that conjunction by the end of this
year. Whenever
the nodes are involved in a configuration like this, you can be sure
there is a
karmic drama behind it.
When we understand how the energy of the mind works in molding
events, we can
more consciously use our minds to effect change. The words we use,
the intent
behind those words and the emotions we feel as we think or say them
will fulfill
the future as accurately as we visualize it. Our mistake seems to be
to think we
can effect change by resisting or fighting what we perceive to be a
"wrong".
Whenever we have aspects like this in our charts, whether we’re the
president,
the head of a family or just a child soaking in and projecting what
s/he is
taught, we have a choice of how we use them. When president Bush
experienced his
tertiary Mars square Uranus last fall, the first impulse would
probably have
been (as for all of us) to strike back (which we did), express anger
and outrage
and exchange an "eye for an eye". It’s a natural reaction, of
course. What we
might not understand is that metaphysically whenever we give energy
to something
in like manner, we create more of it. The energy we send out forms
into what we
are projecting. It can be an endless creating over and over of
exactly what we
do not want. The universe is neutral; it just manifests as we
command. What to
do? Well, read on....
A FREE Book You Can Download
If you want to read more about manifestation of energy, you can go
to:
http://www.paxtonrobey.com and download his free book, No Time for
Karma. It’s a
fascinating read; I couldn’t put it down. Thanks to my friend, Bill,
who
suggested I take a look.
UAC Next Month
I’m really looking forward to UAC (United Astrology Congress) this
year in
Orlando in mid-July. If any of you are going, I hope you’ll
introduce yourself
if we happen to be crossing paths. We’ll all have on name tags
(except maybe
triple Scorpios) so it’ll be easy to spot people. If you haven’t
looked into
this, you can go to http://www.uacastrology.com for registration
information.
I’ve heard that the block of rooms we reserved are sold out, but
there are some
people looking for roommates. More about that is on the site. Hope
to see some
of you!!
Online College of Astrology
I’m in the process of joining the faculty of the Online College of
Astrology,
first offering an elective course in Solar Arc using my book as the
text. This
is a scheduled on-line class for which you have to log on at a
specific time and
interact. If any of you are interested, I can put you on a list to
be informed
of all the details as they are put into place. To learn more about
the college,
itself, go to http://www.astrocollege.com .
That’s it for this time. Namaste.
