The New World Order, Phase Two
NATO bombed central Belgrade last week, targeting the
headquarters of security forces accused of the ethnic
cleansing campaign. Meanwhile, some 600,000 Albanians
are fleeing Kosovo, and Americans are awakening to the
likelihood of a prolonged military conflict in Yugoslavia
which would include the use of U.S. ground troops.
The astrological signature for these events is the
Saturn-Neptune cycle, which began with the collapse of the
Soviet Union during the initiating conjunction in 1989. The
Saturn-Neptune cycle in Russian affairs dates back many
decades, if not centuries. The Saturn-Neptune conjunction
in 1953 was attended by the death of Stalin, and the
Bolshevik Revolution took place during the previous
Saturn-Neptune conjunction in 1917.
With the 1989 end of the Cold War, George Bush was free
to initiate what he called the New World Order to push
Saddam Hussein’s troops out of Kuwait. Simultaneously,
Slobodan Milosevic was free to begin working on a Greater
Serbia, which started with the elimination of Kosovo’s
autonomy in 1990 under the influence of the
Saturn-Neptune conjunction.
Each quarter cycle of Saturn in aspect to Neptune
corresponds to a geopolitical quantum leap, as events
accelerate under a psychological climate known by
astrologers as Developmental Tension. This week Saturn
and Neptune are forming their exact square, as Phase Two
of the New World Order has begun.
The New World Order can be characterized by the military
alliances which protect a global socio-economic system.
The U.S. currency has long broadcast this message with the
words Novus Ordo Seclorum (Latin for New World Order)
printed on the back of every one dollar bill.
Uranus, The Cosmic Awakener
The Saturn-Neptune cycle operates within a network of
other astrological cycles which political astrologers can use
to fine-tune their interpretations of our times. The current
Saturn-Neptune square is the third of a series extending
over the past year, but what makes this final square the
most eventful is the simultaneous entrance of Uranus into
the U.S. fourth house.*
Uranus, known as the Great Awakener, hit Americans
suddenly and in typical crisis mode. Pundits criticize
Clinton and the Pentagon for not giving Americans enough
warning and for going into this venture without a clear exit
strategy. The fact remains that Milosevic was able to
efficiently force the flood of refugees because his ethnic
cleansing plan had already been in place, and was carried
out by well-coordinated Serbian forces.
Nothing awakens Americans quicker than the awareness of
Evil in the real world. While Uranus will be crossing the
threshold of the U.S. fourth house this week, it will turn
retrograde in May and retrace its path. The retrograde
location is still within effective range of the fourth house
cusp (less than one degree) over the next few months, so
we can expect this state of crisis to continue.
In Political Astrology the fourth house represents domestic
affairs. Just as in personal horoscopes, when transiting
Uranus enters the fourth house, the occupants tend to be
rudely snapped out of their domestic tranquillity. The
cosmic objective of Uranus the Awakener is to make
Americans more aware of the global community beyond
their happy isolationism, whatever it takes.
John McCain, A Rising Star
The problem with the current leading Republican
candidates for the 2000 Presidential election is that they
have no military experience. As the trouble in the Balkans
is likely to continue through the Summer, Republican
voters will be looking for a more experienced candidate in
these matters. Senator John McCain of Arizona is the only
contender with a respected military record.
John McCain was born a service-oriented Virgo on August
29, 1936 with his Moon in ambitious, serious Capricorn.
With his Mars in strong and proud Leo squaring an
excitable Uranus, McCain’s attraction to military service
became an obvious outlet for this energy. Men born with a
Mars-Uranus square are natural risk-takers, especially
when elements of bravery and danger are required.
McCain’s horoscope features a Saturn-Neptune opposition,
and the most important events in his life occurred during
critical activation of this axis. During his Saturn Return
McCain was captured by the North Vietnamese and then
spent the next six years as a prisoner of war.
McCain’s Venus is also aligned with this Saturn-Neptune
polarity, and he married on May 17, 1980 when transiting
Saturn was conjunct his Neptune, and exactly opposing his
natal Saturn. Also progressed Venus was exactly sextile his
Neptune.
McCain’s Uranus is located right on the U.S. 7th house of
Open Enemies. As transiting Saturn approaches this
dynamic zodiacal location over the next month, the Senator
from Arizona should rise rapidly in the public opinion
polls.
