Chelsea Grow Up
As the Senate winds down the Impeachment Trial, and
works on a motion to Censure, the First Family has openly
challenged increased media coverage of Chelsea. Why do
Bill and Hillary fight so hard for their daughter’s privacy,
even against the benign article that appeared in People
magazine this week?
Chelsea was born on February 27, 1980 with her Sun
exactly lined up with the U.S. Ceres, the asteroid which
governs the parent-child relationship. When we think of
Chelsea, we think of her parent’s relationship, both with
each other and with her. Chelsea knows the inside scoop,
but for the time being, she puts on a happy face and plays
her blossoming teenager role.
Transiting Pluto has been squaring Chelsea’s Sun, and trine
her Moon over the last month, ushering in a rapid growth
phase. Beautiful Venus was on Chelsea’s Sun last week
when she graced the cover of People magazine. But don’t
believe that her parents have given up fighting for her
privacy.
Bill’s Mars and Hillary’s Mars have their midpoint (10º19
Pisces) within two degrees of Chelsea’s Sun (8º47 Pisces).
Transiting Pluto is on this Mars midpoint now, and
continues through March 11 when Pluto turns retrograde.
We can expect that these two will be fighting mad through
the month of March, and in particular for Chelsea’s privacy
and other parent-child concerns.
Nuremberg Files Deleted
Last Tuesday a Federal jury in Portland, Oregon awarded a
$109 million verdict against abortion protesters, and later
in the week their hostile web site called The Nuremberg
Files was deleted by the webmaster’s Internet Service
Provider. The site had Old West “Wanted”-styled posters
on doctors who performed abortions, which included their
names, addresses, and daily routines. A large red X
appeared over each of the three doctors who had been
killed.
Astrologically, the prominence of the Great Mother
asteroid Ceres has defined this intensely controversial issue
and its social evolution. Transiting Pluto squared the U.S.
Ceres during the jury’s deliberations, and at the same time
opposed the U.S. Uranus in Gemini. Uranus in Gemini
represents the American ideal of freedom of expression,
while Ceres in Pisces represents the concerns and
compassion for Motherhood.
Pluto by transit often brings up life and death situations,
and in this case the doctors’ lives and the lives of unborn
children are both at issue. Pluto is in ethical Sagittarius,
and naturally both sides feel they have the moral high
ground. The Freedom of Speech vs. Abortion Rights debate
is just getting started, as transiting Pluto turns retrograde in
March, and then will re-visit this dangerous zodiac zone in
June.
But Ceres by transit is also resonating powerfully with
these events. Ceres just entered Gemini last week when the
verdict was announced. Ceres will be conjunct the U.S.
Uranus and square her own position in mid-March, when
we can expect another eventful development in this
emotional debate.
King Hussein and the Finger of God
Jordan’s King Hussein remained on life support systems
last week as his nation prepared for his imminent death.
Hussein’s passing will throw the delicate balance of power
in the Middle East into turmoil, as Islamic neighbors will
undoubtedly attempt to sway Prince Abdullah away from
the U.S. and Israel.
King Hussein was born a passionate Scorpio on November
14, 1935 at 2:30 am in Amman. The Sun’s beneficial
aspects to Pluto, Neptune, and Jupiter gave him charisma
and lasting power in a turbulent region and era. Hussein’s
Moon in sensitive, caring Cancer dominates his horoscope
from its post at the Midheaven, which in a King’s chart
represents his widespread appeal to his people.
Hussein’s Libra Ascendant is graced by a Venus-Pallas
conjunction which over time eventually established him as
a peacemaker and stabilizing force of moderation in a land
filled with extremists. Venus Rising, and his sexy Scorpio
Sun’s inconjunction to Juno, the marrying asteroid, gave
him four wives and a wandering eye in the love
department.
The prominence of the outer planets in King Hussein’s
horoscope made his reign seem mythic, magical or
supernatural. He came to the throne on August 11, 1952
following his grandfather’s assassination, and his
schizophrenic father’s abdication. Hussein himself escaped
death when a potentially lethal bullet hit him in the heart,
only to be deflected by a medal he was wearing at the time.
This apparently divine protection can be seen in his
progressed chart. His progressed Moon and Jupiter
combined precisely in August 1952 with his exalted Moon
to form a fateful or pre-destined configuration commonly
known astrologically as the Finger of God.
