NewsScope for June 8, 1998
by WolfStar
Confrontations in Kosovo, Jerusalem, and Kashmir are now
threatening to undermine global peace by drawing in
regional military alliances. The most immediate danger is
around Kosovo where President Milosevic’s Serbian forces
cracked down on a mainly Albanian ethnic population. The
Russians have opposed NATO intervention unless it’s U.N.
approved, as neighboring Albania, Macedonia, and even
Greece and Turkey are being sucked in through family
connections to the Albanians.
This week’s Full Moon (12:18 AM EDT, Wednesday June
10) occurs right on the U.S. Mars, the planet governing
American generals. The military commanders are
comparing China’s connections to Pakistan to Russia’s
historical alliance with India, as well as the rapidly
evolving situation in the Middle East.
Meanwhile, political astrologers are closely monitoring the
progress of Saturn which is about to enter Taurus, and
square Neptune. Saturn’s entrance into Taurus (on
Tuesday, June 9) happens only once every 30 years, and
corresponds to the U.S. seventh house of open enemies.
Vietnam and World War II represent the previous armed
conflicts experienced under this major planetary cycle.
Several political horoscopes with Scorpio Rising are
immediately impacted by Saturn’s entrance into Taurus.
These include the United States*, NATO, and Israel. Each
of these global players over the next few months will be
engaged in historic diplomatic efforts and/or police actions
to overcome the challenges (Saturn) presented by active
enemies (seventh house). Neptune’s influence dissolves
secure borders through terrorism (Israel), border raids
(Kosovo), and secret nuclear trade (Kashmir).
Christianity and the Age of Aquarius
Although the foundation of Christianity can be traced to
Paul’s missionary work around the Mediterranean Sea
during the height of the Roman Empire, the actual
structural security of the Christian religion resulted from
the organizational efforts of Constantine, the first Christian
Emperor.
The Gospels were written from oral traditions, and by the
4th century the Roman Empire featured dozens of Christian
cults, each with their own Gospel. Constantine gathered all
the Christian leaders at Nicea, and unified them under four
Gospels and a canon of Pauline literature, which became
the New Testament. The Nicean Council concluded its
organizational efforts on July 20, 325 AD, a date which can
be used as a foundation horoscope for Christianity.
This chart features a rare triple conjunction of three outer
planets in the alliance-building sign of Aquarius. Jupiter,
Uranus, and Pluto come together in Aquarius only once
every 12,000 years, and on this occasion these planets were
squared by an intensely spiritual Neptune in Scorpio.
Constantine’s goal was to unify Christianity with a
statement of belief, which became the Nicean Creed.
Pluto in this horoscope is located at 26 degrees Aquarius,
which is the same location as the U.S. Moon (symbolizing
the American people). Neptune in the Christianity
horoscope is right on the U.S. Scorpio Ascendant,
representing the nation’s identity. Additional parallels
indicate that American Christianity is a powerful political
force shaping the Age of Aquarius, awakened now by
transiting Uranus and Neptune in Aquarius.
Jim Carrey’s Truman
Rubber-faced comic Jim Carrey is receiving critical
acclaim for his latest movie “The Truman Show,” currently
a national box-office hit. His outrageous characterizations
in Ace Ventura, The Mask, Dumb and Dumber, The Cable
Guy, and Liar Liar have earned him a respectable $20
million asking price for his films, although until now he
has not earned dramatic acclaim.
Carrey was born on January 17, 1962 with his Sun in
ambitious Capricorn, and his Moon in flexible, witty
Gemini. Comedians Danny Kaye and Victor Borge have
this same Sun-Moon blend, and reflect the Gemini
wackiness that breaks through the somber, staid Capricorn
personality. Carrey’s Sun at 27 degrees Capricorn is
aligned with the U.S. Pluto, making him a celestial agent
for cultural change, like Kevin Costner, who also has his
Sun at the identical degree.
Central to Carrey’s comic talents is his Mercury placement.
In Aquarius, Mercury brings an inventive mind, bursting
with abstract ideas and spontaneity. Carrey’s Mercurial
temperament is expanded and exaggerated by a conjunction
with Jupiter. Then his Mercury is modified by imaginative
and fantasy-oriented Neptune, which is constantly seeking
to balance the rational with the irrational, or the real with
the surreal.
“The Truman Show” marks a turning point in Carrey’s
career path. At the moment, transiting Neptune is closely
aspecting his Saturn, the planetary marker for professional
development. Neptune here dissolves his typecast role as a
silly performer, allowing this new character to appear.
“Truman” is powerful social commentary, and a fitting role
for an Aquarian idealist.
