Earth Rising
As the Sun enters Taurus this week, Americans will be
commemorating Earth Day. Coincidentally, the recent
flurry of freak tornadoes made many realize that our crazy
weather patterns likely have a human cause. President
Clinton’s visit to Chile over the weekend underscored the
key conflict: what is the proper balance between
environmental protection and market freedom?
Taurus, the first earth sign, is keenly aware of material
resources. Because Taurus and Libra traditionally are both
ruled by Venus, some astrologers feel that Taurus should
be ruled by the Earth herself, and let Libra be associated
with Venus. The first Earth Day was April 22, 1970, a date
which can be used for the leaderless foundation of a global
environmental consciousness.
Richard Nixon was President then, and along with many
other politicians, surprised activists by embracing the Earth
Day principles. The EPA was created shortly afterwards,
along with the first Clean Air and Clean Water acts. These
essential corner stones were possible because Saturn, the
planet of government, was also in Taurus.
This June Saturn will be returning to Taurus for the first
time since the Earth Day era began. Under the pressure of
Saturn in Taurus, environmentalists are gearing up now for
a spectacular Earth Month to take place in April 2000. This
will be exactly one Saturn cycle from the first Earth Day,
but is likely to proceed in a highly charged atmosphere due
to the challenging aspect from Uranus in Aquarius.
HAARP Electrifies Ionosphere
A growing segment of the environmental movement has
been offering an alternative scenario (besides El Nino) for
the bout of tornadoes hitting the South: a massive secret
weapon project known as
HAARP (for High
frequency
Auroral Activation Research Program) sponsored by the
U.S. Air Force and located in an isolated region of Central
Alaska.
Uranus, the planet of electricity and the unexpected, will be
entering the U.S. fourth house* in January 2000. The fourth
house in a political chart describes the nation’s domestic
scene, which includes its weather patterns. With Uranus
edging toward that entry point now, we can expect many
more bizarre weather events, especially those associated
with electrical phenomena such as the thunderstorms that
accompany tornadoes and hurricanes.
The Pentagon’s HAARP project, slated for final
completion in 2002, fits right into this Uranian symbolism:
360 antennas together reaching 1.7 gigawatts
(1,700,000,000 watts) of power send out a focused and
steerable electromagnetic (EM) beam that can superheat
and actually lift sections of the ionosphere. The EM waves
are capable of strategically redirecting significant amounts
of electromagnetic energy.
Late night radio host Art Bell reports that the Russian
military has offered to create a tornado to put out a huge
forest fire in Malaysia. Mysteriously, Chinese weather
satellites have recently been knocked out of commission,
perhaps indicating that someone has been playing with the
ionosphere. Russians? Americans? Whoever is
experimenting with these high-powered EM beams may
also be responsible for the spontaneous tornadoes arising in
the South.
Kenneth Starr Doesn’t See the End
Last week Independent Prosecutor Kenneth Starr declined
to set a date for ending his probe into Clinton’s affairs.
Casting aside all calls to (as Time magazine headlined)
“Put up or shut up,” Starr stated that he doesn’t yet see an
end to his investigation.
Kenneth Starr was born an affable Cancer (July 21, 1946;
6:45 PM, Vernon, TX), but quickly learned to accept an
authoritarian role with his Sun conjunct Saturn. Frequently
referred to as “Judge Starr,” his Sun-Saturn placement
gains notoriety and celebrity status by being exactly aligned
with the U.S. Mercury-Pluto axis.
In the U.S. horoscope, the Mercury-Pluto opposition
describes the mental, legal jousting that has become the
centerpiece of American democracy. Both Starr and
Clinton were born with a Mercury-Pluto conjunction,
highlighting this war of spin control.
Unfortunately for Starr, his Mercury is retrograde,
indicating that he gathers and synthesizes information
according to his own terms and schedule. This aspect has
made him politically backward, a fact which he accepts,
but says is irrelevant.
Over the next month we should be getting some
preliminary results from Judge Starr. Transiting Saturn will
be making an important square to his Sun-Saturn. This is
bound to force him into laying his cards on the table. Even
though he may be confused and meandering (transit
Neptune squares his Moon), we can expect that he will
continue to fight for what he believes in (as his progressed
Sun is conjunct Mars). Watch around mid-May for his big
move.
