Russians and G-7 Reach Agreement
Last week after rounds of intense negotiations an
agreement was finally signed on how to integrate Russian
troops into the NATO peacekeeping force. Meanwhile, as
ethnic Albanian refugees flooded back into their Kosovo
homeland, gruesome evidence of mass killings were
forwarded to the U.N. War Crimes Tribunal in the Hague.
Mainstream astrologers have been busily tracking 1999’s
outer planet cycles with alarm. Within a few weeks the first
of a series of dangerous alignments falls into place: the
tense square between Saturn and Uranus will be exact on
July 18. Over the past century this combination has
regularly coincided with international conflagrations and
economic crises.
Saturn and Uranus do not necessarily need to cause
calamitous situations. Radical change can be beneficial.
The trick in getting these two harmonized is flexibility and
compromise. The international community, spearheaded by
the G-7 nations (the leading industrial nations), achieved
two stunning precedents last week, accommodating Russia
on the one hand, and granting $70 billion in debt relief to
economically crippled African nations on the other.
At the moment, the celestial stress between Saturn and
Uranus is being well-managed within the framework of the
global economic superstructure. However, Uranus at its
worst inspires terrorism and anarchy. The U.S. in particular
is entering a vulnerable phase this coming week as
transiting Mars squares the U.S. Pluto from the twelfth
house of secret enemies.
Comet Lee Heading for Spaceship Earth
On April 16, 1999 an unusual comet was discovered,
unusual in that no one has been able to predict how close it
will come to our Earth. Comet Lee, as it has become
known, is growing in brightness and shifting its orbital path
in violation of the accepted laws of celestial mechanics.
NASA officials are mum on the subject, and according to
lively internet
commentaries
, that’s because the military
arm of NASA has assumed control of a potentially
dangerous threat to Spaceship Earth.
Conspiracy theories aside, Comet Lee is interesting to
astrologers because it’s nearest approach to the Earth will
be in during that cryptic era described by Nostradamus.
The August 11, 1999 Solar Eclipse in Leo is supposed to
coincide with a bearded comet and herald a “Reign of
Terror.”
A viable, alternative theory about comets indicates that
they may emit spectacular electrical discharges to nearby
planets or moons, such as our Earth if it gets close enough.
This “Plasma Discharge Theory of Comets” would account
for Comet Lee’s erratic path and increasing brightness.
Astronomers who also note the planetary alignments are
predicting a severe hurricane season or massive
earthquakes during Comet Lee’s visit this coming August
and September. Followers of the Plasma Discharge Theory
say that Comet Lee may be as bright as Comet Hale-Bopp
with an observable sunward spike. Keep your eyes on the
skies this summer!
Al Gore Jr. and George Bush III
Both Al Gore Jr. and George Bush III declared their
candidacy for President last week, a simultaneous event
reflecting their similar backgrounds and commanding leads
of their respective parties. Pundits have noted that both are
sons of famous politicians from southern states, both
attended Harvard, both are white males in their early 50s.
Astrologically, the asteroid Pallas Athene* is the cosmic
signature creating this eerie parallel universe. Pallas
represents the distinctive or unusual father-son or
father-daughter relationship. A prominent Pallas in the
natal horoscope is either the family black sheep, or the one
who has a special and unique relationship with the father.
Psychologically, the Pallas individual is always trying to
prove his (or her) worth to the father.
Al Gore (b. March 31, 1948; 12:53 pm; Washington DC)
has his Aries Sun conjunct Pallas. His father, Al Gore Sr.
was the Senator from Tennessee, like his son. George Bush
III (July 6, 1946; 7:26 am; New Haven, CT) has Pallas
retrograde natally, so his inclination was to question his
relationship with his father, wondering how he fits in with
the political scene. By progression, Pallas turned direct a
few years ago when he returned to the family philosophy
and was elected Governor of Texas.
The U.S. horoscope has Pallas in Aquarius, conjunct the
U.S. Moon. The U.S. progressed Sun will be making a
unique transit over this Moon-Pallas conjunction in 2000
and 2001. Americans are ready for a favorite son, whether
that’s the Good Son (Al Gore) or the Prodigal Son (George
Bush) remains to be seen.
Both sons have Leo Rising and kicked off their campaigns
as transiting Jupiter entered their tenth house of
professional ambitions. This same Jupiter was squaring the
U.S. Pluto simultaneously, reflecting how both candidates
are heavily backed by Big Money.
