Happy International Astrology Day to you!!!
March 20 has now been designated as International Astrology Day. I'm not sure by whom, but as an astrology enthusiast myself, I say it's about time. It's time for this ancient art/science to be brought in from the heap of fear mongering fortune-tellers and ignorant superstitition. There are far too many useful ways to use astrology than to ignore it. In honor of astrology, I am posting an article written by Mark Lerner about the World Trade Center/Pentagon Bombings. It is an amazing article and chart. Blessings, Lulublue
WORLD TRADE/PENTAGON BOMBINGS by Mark Lerner
CHART IS BELOW
Dateline: Sept. 12, 2001 Eugene, Oregon... I write these words
less than 20 hours after the worst terrorist destruction to ever strike
America on a single day. As Publisher of Welcome to Planet Earth
astrology journal for 20 years, I have often shared with you about
these type of events -- the Challenger destruction and Chernobyl blasts
of 1986, the Persian Gulf War of 1991, President Clinton's crisis in
the White House and Impeachment proceedings during 1998-1999. And I
have always revealed to you that astrology is truly a divine and
mathematical art, language and unique system of understanding world
events.
The shocking events of Tuesday (ruled by Mars) Sept, 11, 2001
will show the power of astrology for those who have the eyes to see.
What's so important to remember is that we are not dealing with one
"bad" aspect or even two. Anything of this magnitude will be shown to
have many -- probably several dozen! -- astrological keynotes, themes
and energies.
At this time, in Part I, I want to stammer out a large group of
astrological indicators -- pointers for all astrology students,
professionals and teachers -- so you can start your own research and
analysis. Please write to me with your views and ideas. We are about to
launch Welcome to Planet Earth as a journal on this web site during the
next few weeks, and I will want your e-mails, letters, ideas and input
-- particularly on this crucial subject. Also -- on this same Index
page, you can scroll down after reading this article or printing out
the materials, and find an article I wrote on Saddam Hussein 5 years
ago. His chart and presence are still important now -- even though it
appears that the terrorist Osama bin Laden is a primary, alleged
perpetrator of these evil deeds. In that feature I wrote 5 years ago, I
mentioned the important ties between Saddam Hussein and Colin Powell,
both born in April 1937. I made certain predictions then and, in many
ways, they have to come to pass -- with the presence now of Colin
Powell as our Secretary of State.
I recommend that you print out this article and the color chart
appearing at the end. Know that I will update this feature within a few
days -- once we learn more of the US response to this horrific act on
our soil, and the possible individuals/group responsible for the mass
murder and havoc. At the end of the feature is my e-mail address where
you can reach me with your views. Now here is your key list of the BIG
ASTROLOGY FACTORS involved with the events of Sept. 11, 2001. They are
not given in order of importance, but all of them are significant and
need your careful consideration as astrologers.
Mercury at 14+ Libra exactly rises in NYC as the first plane
(American Airlines Flight 11 -- note connection to Sept. 11 and the
11th sign Aquarius, ruling aviation) crashes into the World Trade
Center North tower. 14+ Libra is the precise placement of America's
natal Saturn from July 4, 1776. Our Saturn as a nation is our Achilles'
heel, where we can be very vulnerable, fearful, chronically weak.
Mercury rules transportation and trade! Need I say more here. I guess I
must because, if you really think about it, Mercury reaching the USA
Saturn can mean a stoppage, blocking or halting (Saturn is restriction)
of movement. And when this first plane hit -- remember Mercury had
winged sandals and was the "Messenger of the Gods," symbolizing this
jet in the sky -- it would set off a chain reaction that would throw
our entire nation into extreme fear (Saturn). In fact, for the first
time in American history, this event, followed by the other plane
hijackings and crashes, would close all American airports. Thus,
transiting Mercury strikes the USA Saturn, exactly rising in NYC at the
first crash itself, and all aviation transportation stops in America.
Note that Mercury was in the middle "decanate" or 10-degree sector of
Libra -- and this has an Aquarian subtone! To make matters more
worrisome, mark October 20-27, 2001 on your calendars. Why? Mercury
will go retrograde from Oct. 1-23 and from Oct. 20-27, Mercury will
make its direct station at 14+ Libra -- right where it was on Sept. 11
and also back again on our country's Saturn. Ouch! [And from Oct. 6-8,
a weekend, the Sun will cross 14+ Libra, while Mars squares this area
from Capricorn (Oct. 2-5) and Jupiter squares the same area from Cancer
(Oct. 1-12.)]
Mercury was approaching a flowing trine (120-degree pattern) to
transiting Saturn as all of the horrendous events were taking place.
This Mercury-Saturn trine in the sky would become exact at 6:06PM EDT
on Sept. 11, 2001. Why -- we should ask -- should a Mercury-Saturn
harmonious link cause so much death and destruction? First of all,
let's remember there are many other factors involved. Also -- from the
standpoint of the perpetrators of this crime, it was an amazing
success! The evildoers managed to commandeer 4 planes, hijack them,
kill everyone on board, and use the planes and the people to destroy
the twin World Trade towers and strike America's defense establishment
at the Pentagon. Thus, the Mercury-Saturn trine represents the stunning
achievement of these people. It also reminds us that perhaps even a
Saturn placement at 14+ Gemini -- trining the USA Saturn at 14+ Libra
-- is not going to give us much that is pleasant. As the Magi Society
has written in their books and in several articles in WTPE journal from
1997-2000, Saturn -- while potentially helpful in individual charts --
is almost always a problem or sinister force in mundane astrology.
The Moon in late Gemini was "Void-of-Course" having made its
last alignment (a trine to Uranus in Aquarius) at 9:42PM EDT the night
before Sept. 11, 2001. We have discussed the Void Moon phenomenon in
WTPE many times and did a cover story on this activity about 5 years
ago. The Moon is void when it has made its last Ptolemaic alignment to
one of the planetary bodies (conjunction; sextile, trine; square;
opposition) and will not make another one until the Moon enters a new
zodiacal sign. Most researchers advise people not to make major
decisions when the Moon is void, that decisions made will not work out
as expected. It is suggested not to sign papers, begin a key project,
etc. To some extent, it is like entering a mist, a twilight-zone,
lasting for a few minutes, an hour or two, and once in awhile, a day or
two. However, there are two kinds of void Moons. One negative; the
other, positive. I see the negative ones as beginning with squares or
oppositions, sometimes with conjunctions of the Moon to, say, Mars,
Saturn or Pluto. I see the positive ones as beginning with sextiles or
trines, sometimes with conjunctions to, say, Mercury, the Sun, Venus or
Jupiter.
Well, to make a long story short, the Moon was void in Gemini
during Monday night in NYC and this void cycle lasted until 12:09PM EDT
on Sept. 11, 2001. Thus, all the death, conflagration and damage
occurred during a void Moon. However, this was no ordinary void Moon!
When it began at 9:42PM EDT Monday night before the calamities, the
Moon had just united with Mars (murder; death; blood; war) at 21+
Gemini in the USA chart from July 4, 1776! This can only happen once
every 27+ days, and when this lunar conjunction to our Mars happened,
Uranus in Aquarius (aviation; revolution; shock) was trining the Moon.
So, again, from the conspirators' standpoint, it was perfect timing.
During a void Moon, security could certainly become lax at airports.
Right? The Moon was void -- this potentially leading to failures,
mistakes and lack of clarity/focus by security officials. By the time
the first plane crashed into the World Trade Center, the Moon had
reached 28+ Gemini -- linking to the zodiacal energy of the North Star,
Polaris, affiliated with the esoteric first ray of power, will,
governance and Shamballa. This 28+ Gemini also just happens to be the
exact location of the Jupiter/Saturn midpoint for the plane crash
moment itself. The Moon rules the masses, populace, our homeland and
deep feelings. Jupiter is anything BIG (doesn't always have to be
good!) and Saturn is -- well, we know what Saturn is and can be!
We've already covered a lot, but if you think that's it, you
are far from the total picture here. As I've explained many times, with
gigantic events you will find numerous astrological signatures
occurring and as an astrological researcher, you will have to juggle
many charts and aspects -- almost too many to keep clearly in your
mind. For instance, let's take a peek at one of the smallest, but by no
means insignificant asteroids. That is JUNO. When the late and
supremely great astrologer Eleanor Bach, who created the first asteroid
ephemeris in NYC (!) back in 1972 (when I began my astrological
studies) wrote about Juno, Ceres, Pallas and Vesta -- the first 4
asteroids to be discovered in the first decade of the 1800s -- she was
so clear, inspired and articulate. She knew her stuff to an
extraordinary degree and wrote many articles in WTPE over the years.
Her bound book -- A Graphic Ephemeris of Sensitive Degrees -- was a
blockbuster on stations of planets and asteroids, and a goldmine on the
concrete and practical meanings of the asteroids. She said, pointblank,
that while Juno's positive side was cooperation, diplomacy, the search
for happiness in marriage and unions, it's shadow side was terrorism by
the weak, powerlessness, abuse and violations, leading to massive rage!
Juno ruled over atmospheric storms -- and symbolic, but also very real
collective, massive violent storms ripping through the fabric of a
society or nation!
As potent as Mercury and Saturn were at this terrorism striking
America, Juno is perhaps more important. Last year in WTPE, I pointed
out that I thought George W. Bush would beat VP Al Gore partly because
Bush and Colin Powell, who was poised to become his Secretary of State,
share a planetary placement exactly at 26 1/2 Cancer. This is Bush's
Saturn and Colin Powell's Pluto! They're exactly conjunct -- no orb. By
the way, it is also the Pluto for Saddam Hussein, born the same month
as Colin Powell. Where was the tiny asteroid Juno on Sept. 11, 2001? At
26 degrees and 42 minutes of Cancer -- right on the President's Saturn,
and Colin Powell's Pluto! Remember -- negative Juno is terrorism by the
weak, making peace-loving people into innocent victims, who then are
outraged, and "storm" in response against the perpetrators of the
crime! Add one more astro-factor to this Juno reality and you will
realize the extreme nature of what was happening. The Mars/Uranus
midpoint (where these two planets combine their forces) as the
terrorism began on Tuesday morning was 26 degrees and 38 minutes of
Capricorn. Thus, we have what is called a "planetary picture" composed
of the following: JUNO = MARS/URANUS! Juno is terrorism and the abuse
of the innocent. Mars is an act of war and bloodshed. Uranus is
aviation, shocking events from the air, revolutionary events with
unknown ramifications. What is even more scary is that in the next few
days, the transiting Mars/Uranus midpoint will keep moving forward, for
while Uranus is retrograde and slow, Mars is direct and picking up
speed. Within a few days, the Mars/Uranus midpoint will conjunct
America's natal Pluto (hell; underworld; extremes; nuclear fears and
weapons; death and mysteries) at 27+ Capricorn from July 4, 1776.
One more amazing point about Juno. In the approximate one hour
between the first plane strike against the World Trade Center and the
plane crashing into the Pentagon, Juno had moved from about 9 degrees
away from the Midheaven to an exact conjunction with the 10th house
cusp at the moment the Pentagon was hit. Now the World Trade Center is
one major American symbol, a very Saturnian one as a skyscraper,
similar to the concept of Capricorn (ruled by Saturn) as a pinnacle,
summit or mountain-top. The Pentagon is perhaps the greatest symbol of
power in the world. It is the center of American defense, and America
is the Earth's remaining super-power. Juno precisely above -- no orb!
-- as the Pentagon is struck by terrorists who have hijacked an
American plane is the perfect and horrible symbol of intrinsically weak
people (the terrorists) who are powerless using any means necessary to
strike at what is most powerful in the world -- the US Pentagon. The
fact that they used innocent Americans on the plane, and turned them
into powerless victims, reveals the twisted cruelty of their negative
Juno reality.
This brings us to an important point in this discussion. Does
Evil really exist? Unfortunately, I think we have all learned during
the Piscean Age of over 2000 years that human beings, who want to be
possessed or obsessed by evil thoughts, energies or beings, can
definitely become agents of evil -- leading to strife, death and mass
destruction. In Esoteric Astrology and the system of the 7 rays,
discussed by Alice A. Bailey and the Tibetan Master D.K. (Lucis
Publishing Company books and other esoteric sources), Pluto is strongly
connected to the First Ray of Will, Purpose, Creation-Destruction,
Power and Government while Saturn is strongly affiliated with the Third
Ray of Active Intelligence, Adaptability, Communication, and
Creativity. Furthermore, while Saturn is a great tester and teacher, as
a planet, it is considered far more evolved than Pluto and is
designated as a "sacred planet." Pluto is considered less evolved
cosmically and is designated as a "non-sacred planet." As many of you
know, we have just experienced (Aug. 5, 2001) the first of three
extremely difficult Saturn-Pluto polarities (from Gemini to
Sagittarius). The other two will occur on Nov. 1, 2001 and May 25,
2002. These oppositions only occur every 35-36 years -- the last group
(also a series of 3) in 1965-1966, from Pisces to Virgo. An opposition
by these two planetary bodies is a celestial wake-up call about world
violence, misuse of power, and, we might even say, a return of the
great "dark night of the soul" for humanity, perhaps similar to what
destroyed Atlantis, with the forces of darkness fighting against the
forces of light. [Note: There were three Saturn polarities -- Capricorn
to Cancer -- during 1931, when the Nazis and Hitler were rising to
power in Germany, when Yeltsin and Gorbachev were born in Russia, when
the Japanese were wreaking havoc in Manchuria, and -- ironically --
when the Empire State Building, the world's tallest building at the
time, opened to the public in NYC on May 1.]
OK... so what does this Saturn-Pluto polarity have to do with
the events of Sept. 11, 2001? Sure, the Saturn-Pluto polarity was
there, although over 2 degrees apart. Here's the secret: New York City
is the world financial capital, is connected to the Third Ray, and
therefore linked strongly as a center to Saturn. This city might also
be considered America's "throat chakra," our communication center.
Washington, D.C. is America's "head center" and is clearly linked to
the First Ray and Pluto. Thus, the two cities hit were NYC and
Washington, D.C. -- connected to Saturn and Pluto, nationally and, to a
further extent, cosmically. [Note: One little, but meaningful aside:
Remember how the Iranians in the early 1980s kept referring to America
as "The Great Satan"? Satan -- letter-wise and through vibration -- is
closely connected to Saturn. To the terrorists behind this attack, New
York City appears to be the primary Saturn-Satan Achilles' heel for
America.]
I've been hinting here that perhaps Saddam Hussein is connected
to all this. Let's not forget that when George W. Bush's father was
President we initiated the Persian Gulf War on Jan. 16-17, 1991. At
that time, there was a Sun-Saturn union in late Capricorn -- on
America's natal Pluto! Again, Saturn and Pluto at work! And remember
that even now in September 2001, as the younger Bush is President, we
have Juno and the Mars/Uranus midpoint striking at the same area of the
zodiac, 26-27 Cancer-Capricorn. This all links to Saddam Hussein, with
Pluto at 27 Cancer, and Colin Powell, with Pluto at the same degree.
Back in January 1991, Colin Powell was the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs
of Staff. Now he is our Secretary of State. From 1993-2000, he was out
of the government completely, wrote a very successful autobiography,
and almost ran for President. If VP Dick Cheney has more heart
problems, he may be out as Vice President and Colin Powell could take
his place. I have said, perhaps for a decade, that Saddam Hussein and
Colin Powell, both born in April 1937 -- with the same natal Mars,
Pluto and North Node of the Moon (destiny point) -- may be fated to be
at center stage in a great conflagration affecting the world. They are
also both born with Jupiter opposite Pluto and we have just finished
having three polarities of Jupiter and Pluto in 2000 and 2001. Even if
Saddam Hussein is not officially behind all of this, many of his
actions have created the martial atmosphere and global-terrorist
environment for all this mass destruction. Our war against Iraq and our
involvement in the Persian Gulf are what has set Osama bin Laden so
"dead-set" against us. And it is also possible that Saddam Hussein has
been aiding Osama bin Laden, with advisors, equipment, logistics,
hidden funds, fuel, conduits, etc.
This brings us to relocation astrology -- so-called
"Astro*Carto*Graphy -- originated by the pioneer Jim Lewis, who passed
away earlier in the 1990s. What was novel and unusual perhaps 25 years
ago, around the time Jim created this revolutionary breakthrough in
astrological analysis, has now become commonplace, particularly in the
many astrological software programs that thousands of astrologers use
around the world. Once you create the chart for the first plane crash
into the World Trade Center, it is relatively easy to create a
relocated horoscope for Kabul, Afghanistan, for instance. This will be
a chartwheel for the same instant in time -- in Kabul, capital of
Afghanistan -- that the plane crashed into the World Trade Center in
NYC. When you do that chart, Pluto -- which was around the 3rd house
cusp in NYC -- is exactly overhead, the 10th house or Midheaven, the
maximum power/peak point of a chart! It seems highly significant that
Pluto (death; mayhem; extremes; underworld themes; mysteries and the
unknown) was at the top of the chart in the country that harbors and
probably supports Osama bin Laden and his group of terrorists. And it
is likely that the USA may strike this area in the days ahead --
whether Osama bin Laden is there or not. As we have discussed many
times in WTPE journal over the years, Pluto can also represent a
person's or country's "blind-spot." If we relocate America's chart from
July 4, 1776 to the Persian Gulf, then our natal Pluto is overhead
there! This was first pointed out by astrologer Wayne Moody well before
America went to war against Iraq in 1991. Wayne is an expert in
relocation techniques, has been a major author and contibutor to our
magazine since the 1980s, and is continuing his powerful research on
highly sensitive longitudes, latitudes, cities and events around the
world. The Persian Gulf region is an area of the planet where we will
have many problems. Think of not only our Persian Gulf War with Iraq,
but also our chronic difficulties with Iran, now Osama bin Laden in
nearby Afghanistan and into Pakistan, plus the eternal crisis in
Israel, on the other side of the Persian Gulf.
Continuing with relocation and mundane astrology, it is always
important to consider Solstice and Equinox maps, New and Full Moon
horoscopes. In Part II of this feature, I will go into greater depth
here, but for the moment you will want to study the Summer Solstice map
from June 21, 2001 -- which not only began a three-month cycle for
humanity and the world (the summer season not over yet!), but also
included a Total Solar Eclipse a few hours later. If you create a map
for the East Coast of the USA at that Summer Solstice, beginning the
summer season, the primary energies were located in the 2nd house of
money, banking, financial power. That's where the Sun, Moon, and a
Mercury-Jupiter conjunction were located. On the other side of the
zodiac, very close to the 8th house of death-destruction, was Mars
(war; murder; bloodshed) with Pluto only a few degrees away. Meanwhile,
at the same instant of time, on the other side of the world, in the
area of Afghanistan, Pakistan, and Iran, here was the line-up:
Sun-Moon-Mercury-Jupiter above (in the power zone) while Mars-Pluto
were below (roots; foundations of violence). And further East, Saturn
was close to the top of the chart in good old Iraq. Recent New and Full
Moon charts have been incredibly strong -- showing America's struggles
particularly in the Full Moon maps for July 5 (near our national
birthday) and August 4 (right when Saturn opposed Pluto on the horizon
in the East Coast!). We also see Mars-Pluto below and Saturn above in
Iran, Afghanistan, and Pakistan at the last New Moon (Aug. 18, 2001)
preceding this violence of Sept. 11, 2001. What is very provocative is
the next New Moon on Sept. 17, 2001. This will be at 24 degrees and 36
minutes of Virgo -- within 2 minutes of arc (1/30th of a degree) to the
Midheaven for America's chart for July 4, 1776. Starting this weekend,
and for the next month or so, with the New Moon energies right at the
top of our national chart, the President, this administration and the
Congress will be acting in a potent and perhaps extreme manner. That's
because Saturn -- nearing a retrograde station -- will be above in the
chart for the moment of the New Moon and Pluto will be below. Remember
-- our good friends Saturn and Pluto in opposition? They will be
pushing and pulling at the vertical fabric (heights-roots;
government-homeland) of our nation. As this is happening, Mars
(warfare; strife; tensions) will rise through the Persian Gulf and
Teheran, the capital of Iran! By the way, revolutionary Uranus will set
through the heart of Iran at the Fall Equinox on Sept. 22, 2001. More
on all this in Part II.
In June, I was prepared to write a big story about a coming
crisis for America that I felt would peak in August. I based this on
Pluto's station in March 2001 at 15+ Sagittarius, followed by Mars'
station in July 2001 at the same degree. But what is 15+ Sagittarius?
For the USA, born on July 4, 1776, this is our natal Mars/Uranus
midpoint -- energizing both 15+ Gemini and Sagittarius. The Pluto and
Mars stations of 2001 were so close to this exact midpoint -- perhaps
the most explosive midpoint or all the planetary combinations -- that I
felt our country would be getting into some serious martial trouble
this summer. I just didn't realize it would explode in early September!
I saw the Full Moons of July 5 and August 4 as extremely deadly and
remember that when President Bush and the G-7 leaders met in Genoa,
Italy back at that time, there was extreme violence by the
anti-globalization groups gathering in Europe. Keep in mind that the
movie Pearl Harbor came out on Memorial Day weekend. It did extremely
well the first few days and then kind of died out. However, it was the
real Pearl Harbor of Dec. 7, 1941 that had alerted me to this summer
crisis for America in the first place. When the Japanese attacked us on
that quiet and peaceful Sunday morning, the Sun crossed 15+
Sagittarius, the USA natal Mars/Uranus, explosive midpoint and giant
transiting Jupiter (BIG disaster) was opposite in Gemini. We know the
result -- and now people are already comparing this latest terrorism to
the Pearl Harbor disaster! Well, they are definitely connected! Through
the Sun-Jupiter polarity of Dec. 7, 1941, the USA natal Mars/Uranus
midpoint, and this year's Pluto-Mars stations right in the middle of
Sagittarius.
This should give you much astrological food for thought. You
may as well add on the following for good measure: The Venus/Saturn
midpoint was conjunct the Midheaven as the first plane crashed into the
World Trade Center. The Midheaven is a peak of power, Saturn is
fear-time-end of life, Venus represents our society and the people
victimized in the destruction. The Mars/Pluto midpoint at the beginning
of the tragedy was within 2/3 of a degree to a conjunction-opposition
to the USA Mars, and this same midpoint was 1/3 of a degree square to
the USA Neptune. America is born with a natal Mars-Neptune square. We
have discussed this in numerous articles in WTPE magazine. It has much
to do with our history of racism, internal dissent and violence, the
Civil War, Lincoln's Assassination, and also connects esoterically (via
Mars and Neptune) to the Sixth Ray of Devotion, Idealism, but also
Fanaticism and Religious Fundamentalism. It's ironic that America was
founded as a land for religious freedom and tolerance; we are now being
attacked by religious fanatics who believe that to die intentionally
for your cause is the highest honor. Looking at transits influencing
America's chart, we find the following: Venus transiting our
Mars/Saturn midpoint; Neptune (confusion; fog; chaos) conjunct the USA
South Node (negative fate) and Mars/Neptune midpoint; the transiting
North Node of the Moon (the public-destiny) right on the USA Venus (our
emotions) in Cancer!; the transiting Moon conjunct America's
Mars/Jupiter midpoint, which again is in late Gemini, conjunct the Pole
Star, Polaris; Saturn very close to the explosive USA Mars/Uranus
midpoint in mid-Gemini.
Should we even speculate about the so-called "astrological
mandala"? The use of symbols for every degree of the zodiac --
originated by Dr. Marc Edmund Jones and revised later by Dane Rudhyar,
two of the greatest astrologers of the 20th century? It is fascinating
to do so. When the first plane crashed into the World Trade Center, 15
Libra was rising (Mercury, too). Symbol? Circular Paths. Seems obscure,
right? No! Not when you watch TV and see them showing the radar maps of
how all the planes moved West and -- all of them CIRCLED BACK (!!!)
EAST -- to do their deadly damage. Circular Paths. Yes... in the air,
with air sign Libra rising, and Mercury, ruling transportation, on the
Ascendant, and in the second decanate of Libra, ruled by Aquarius
(aviation). When the next plane crashed into the World Trade Center
about 18 minutes later, 18-19 Libra was rising. Symbols? Two Men Placed
Under Arrest and A Gang Of Robbers In Hiding. How appropriate!
Symbolically, at the very least, the two men are Osama bin Laden and
Saddam Hussein. They are also represented by the two planes striking
each of the two towers!
We will see where all this will lead. Note that using what is
called Tertiary Progressed analysis (based on each day after birth
equaling a lunar month), we will find very strong connections between
President Bush, America and the power of Pluto and Juno. It turns out
that as the terrorist acts occurred, the President had just experienced
his Tertiary Lunar Return, something that only occurs about every 2
years and 2-3 months. However, the President is born with an exact
Moon-Juno union in mid-Libra! Remember our whole discussion about Juno,
terrorism by the weak and powerless, and the storms and outrage
generated by the victimized who have the power to strike back. Watch
out, world! President Bush is about to get very Juno-like, and not in
an easy-going diplomacy-like way. And on Sept, 11, 2001, the Tertiary
Progressed Moon and Pluto, for the USA, were exactly square. [Note: It
will also be significant to study the charts (perhaps several) for New
York City, Washington, D.C., and for the times each plane took off. If
the media reveal the birthdates of the chief pilot for each plane,
those horoscopes will be telling. Incorporation charts for American
Airlines and United Airlines will also need to be reviewed.]
Do you work with declinations -- planets North and South of the
Celestial Equator? You should and it is an intrinsic part of
astrological work. In the last few months, Mars (planet of war) has
been -- what is called -- "out of bounds," well past 23+ degrees South
of the Celestial Equator. It reached as far as 27+ degrees South in the
latter part of August. It was located at 26 degrees and 48 minutes
South on Sept. 11 and the Moon's first alignment, after leaving void
status, and entering Cancer was an opposition (struggle) with Mars at
2:56PM EDT on the day of the plane crashes. And the Moon was at 23
degrees North of the Celestial Equator, not far from a contra-parallel
to Mars. This Moon-Mars opposition was very symbolic of the USA (a
Cancer Sun-sign nation, ruled by the Moon) in polarity to the forces of
Mars (war and bloodshed directed against us) from an "out of bounds,"
extremist enemy we couldn't see! This is another part of the whole
astrological picture. Until Part II -- when we will also look at the
main chart below in greater detail -- good luck with your studying and
e-mail me with your ideas and views. [President Bush's chart is
contained within the Election 2000 feature -- located below Your Cosmic
Kalendar, on our Index page. I will include USA chart in Part II.]
