Clinton Goes to China, and other Conspiracies
President Clinton's China trip is embroiled in
controversy and intrigue, a perfect astrological
reflection of this week's Saturn-Neptune square.
Because this Saturn-Neptune vibe will be in effect
through the November elections, Republican
hopefuls (Neptune) see the China card (Saturn) as
their wedge issue.
Saturn and Neptune together form an astrological
climate of fear-mongering and conspiracy. Did
Clinton's camp sell top secret satellite
technology to China in exchange for campaign
contributions? Some day China may become a nuclear
superpower to rival the United States, but GOP
strategy is to present that possibility as real
now, along with portraying Clinton as willing to
do anything, even commit high treason, for the
sake of $100 thousand contribution.
Saturn's opening square to Neptune takes place
every 36 years. The last time this aspect was in
effect, both planets were exactly linked to the
U.S. Midheaven,* the point representing the
nation's destiny and political leadership. On
November 22, 1963, when Saturn was opposing the
Midheaven, and Neptune was squaring the Midheaven,
President Kennedy was assassinated in Dallas, an
event representing the ultimate conspiracy theory
in American history.
Resonating with that shocking moment, now that
Saturn and Neptune are returning to the same angle
(but not aspecting the Midheaven) is the pending
release of the Zapruder film, the only video
document which captured the assassination. In a
more popular reconstruction, the surviving Beatles
will be reuniting to sing for Linda McCartney's
favorite cause, animal rights.
China Comes of Age
The ancient culture of China has its most recent
incarnation popularly set for the communist
takeover declared on October 1, 1949 (at 3:15 PM
in Beijing). China's Libra Sun is virtually the
same zodiacal location as Clinton's Libra
Ascendant, showing what may be called their karmic
link. The Dalai Lama believes that Clinton is
actually the reincarnation of a famous Chinese
emperor.
China's querky, unpredictable behavior can be seen
in its national horoscope by an Aquarius
Ascendant, and the Sun square Uranus. With Uranus
placed in the fifth house of youth and students,
much of Chinese evolution proceeds in zigzag
political movements fostered by student unrest.
Watch for poignant political reminders of the
Tianamen Square massacre when the Sun passes over
this sensitive point on Friday.
China's progressed horoscope reveals its political
dynamics. The progressed Sun squared ruthless
Pluto during the brutal repression of the Tianamen
demonstration. Now, China's progressed Mars is
nearing Saturn, showing an interest in military
restraint, especially regarding nuclear technology
transfers to Iran and Pakistan. The U.S. role in
this is paramount, since China's progressed Moon
is exactly conjunct the U.S. Scorpio Ascendant
during Clinton's visit.
China is about to step onto the world stage right
around the Millenium. This fact can be seen many
ways astrologically (most notably a progressed New
Moon conjunct the MC). The one very worrisome
configuration shaping up is the Solar Eclipse
scheduled for August 11, 1999 which activates
China's war-mongering Mars and Pluto.
Duchovny's X-File
The X-Files movie and TV show have struck it rich
portraying paranoia and paranormal experiences.
David Duchovny as agent Fox Mulder stars in these
credible conspiracy dramas, along with partner
Gillian Anderson as the more skeptical agent
Scully. Together, these two dramatize for the
American public the most mysterious and fearful
suspicions about our own government.
Duchovny was born a dramatic Leo (August 7, 1960),
with his Moon in cause-oriented Aquarius. He
shares this Sun-Moon blend with David Koresh, who
unfortunately played out his conspiracy theories
in real life during the siege at Waco. Both
Duchovny and Koresh were born with their Neptune,
the planet ruling the mysterious and fantastic, in
conspiracy-oriented Scorpio. In both cases, their
Neptunes are right on the U.S. Scorpio Ascendant,
reflecting why they would display their personas
in such spectacular ways to the American psyche.
David Koresh (b. August 17, 1959), like Duchovny,
has a Leo Sun conjunct Uranus, giving a strident
streak of independence and self-determination.
Koresh's chart is dominated by his Sun squaring a
Scorpio Jupiter, depicting a religious extremism
that knows no limits.
One year later when Duchovny was born, Jupiter was
in Sagittarius, and more favorably enhancing
planets in Leo. This combo produces the quest for
understanding and knowledge, and has become
popularly recognized in the X-Files motto, "The
Truth is Out There." Still, Duchovny's critical
Saturn is exactly opposite the U.S. Sun, and his
presence is always a reminder that our government
holds dark and dangerous secrets.
