Neptune Ushers in the Euro
Last week European Union leaders moved forward with
establishing a new currency and economic powerhouse to
compete with the juggernaut United States. Meanwhile, the
Senate approved NATO expansion, and the United Nations
received its first confession for crimes against humanity in
war-torn Rwanda.
The leading astrological indicator for these global events is
visionary Neptune. Neptune is now at its strongest
influence (technically referred to as its Retrograde Station),
and is in the networking, alliance-building sign of
Aquarius. The ultimate, most profound dream of Neptune
in Aquarius is nothing less than creating the perfect society.
Practical politicians shoot for something more attainable,
like Euroland, or a justice system capable of punishing the
global village’s worst offenders.
Neptune is also associated with drugs and scandals.
Washington reporters watched in dismay as President
Clinton refused to answer any questions regarding his sex
life. Within two weeks several critical planetary cycles will
be climaxing, and indicate we are on the cusp of an Event,
which should severely disrupt the political climate in
Washington.
In the Drug Department, Viagra, a male potency
pharmaceutical, became front page news on magazines,
newspapers, and TV shows across the country. And in
California, the San Francisco Cannabis Buyers' Club
re-opened under the direction of a 68 year old grandmother,
once again flouting the difference between state and federal
laws over the medicinal use of marijuana.
CIA Leaks UFO History
The celestial influence of Pluto in ethical Sagittarius
explains why morally righteous talk show hosts such as the
Christian crusader James Dobson, or pop-psychologist
Laura Schlesinger, are gaining in popularity. But then, this
week’s Neptune station in Aquarius has brought out the
bizarre and mysterious, as can be heard on late night radio
interviews with UFO specialists.
The fringe science of ufology has its genesis myth with the
July 8, 1947 Roswell incident when a crashed UFO
recovered by the US army made international headlines.
Neptune was at its strongest only two weeks earlier
(turning direct) when the American public first became
aware of eye-witness accounts of “flying saucers.” Soon
after, the American government passed the National
Security Act, which created the Pentagon and the CIA.
Fearing mass hysteria, the CIA has fostered a long-term
cover-up plan. The entire process may now be unraveling,
as last week two CIA agents revealed on the Art Bell show
that Project Blue Book (the Air Force’s UFO reporting
operation) was a complete fraud aimed at subverting
legitimate UFO sightings. The two spies confirmed their
own lifelong work tracking extra terrestrial intelligence for
the CIA, including abductions, implants, and satellite
reconnaissance.
Ufology is weakened by many pseudo-scientific claims, but
now under Neptune’s influence, it’s time to separate the
preposterous from the reliable. One UFO group (
CSETI),
after encouraging meetings with former CIA Director
James Woolsey, is pulling together a wide network
(Aquarius) of respected and high-ranking witnesses to
launch a sophisticated media campaign. The plan is to ease
through the illusions and fears (Neptune) surrounding
UFOs, and break the news that ETs are here.
Michael Jordan, Zen Spokesman
At 35 Michael Jordan is still leading the NBA in scoring,
corporate endorsements, and public admiration. Jordan
may also be nearing the end of his playing days, a
possibility befogged by Bull’s coach Phil Jackson’s
standing, and Jordan’s own uncertain desires.
Jordan was born a team player with his Sun in Aquarius
(February 17, 1963; 10:20 AM; Brooklyn, NY). Sports
astrologers will note that his aggressive Mars in the
showboat sign of Leo is favorably aspected by an athletic
Sagittarius Moon. His Mars is given a competitive edge by
its opposition to Saturn, a configuration which denotes how
his NBA career consists of heroic personal exploits
balanced by disciplined teamwork.
Jordan’s extraordinary fame as a corporate darling and
eminent role model can be seen in the astrological
conditions surrounding his Midheaven, the point of destiny.
Mercury is exalted in Aquarius near his Midheaven (and
further glorified by being conjunct the first magnitude star,
Altair, plus the South Node). For those who believe in
reincarnation, these planetary placements indicate that
Jordan has been a superstar before, and he has re-created a
naturally illustrious lifestyle.
At this moment, transiting Neptune is turning retrograde
right on his Mercury, explaining how no one, not even
Jordan himself, has a clue about where he goes from here.
"There's a lot of things that I may want, but I have to be at
peace accepting," he said. "It's Zen Buddhism. Whatever
happens, happens. You have to enjoy this moment."
