Terrorists Primed for Attack
The U.S. State Department shuttered six American
embassies in Africa last Thursday, responding to
intelligence reports that they had been surveyed by
suspected terrorists associated with Osama bin Laden. The
Islamic militant Osama bin Laden remains a “guest” of the
Taliban government in Afghanistan, but his network of
terrorists were electronically overheard targeting American
and British diplomatic missions.
NewsScope readers were assessed of this developing
situation a week earlier. Aggressive Mars is currently in the
twelfth house of secret activities, and is made dangerous by
its square to the U.S. Pluto. The State department action
arrived only two days before the exact square of Mars to
the U.S. Pluto.
Mars makes this dangerous link every two years, but the
simultaneous square between Saturn and Uranus hitting the
U.S fourth house cusp creates a long term volatile situation.
Mars acts as the trigger to this background vibration.
Without the State Department’s precipitous action, one of
those six embassies could have been bombed.
The situation does not get better over the next month.
Transiting Uranus remains close to the U.S. fourth house
cusp, symbolizing the domestic arena and all foreign
properties internationally recognized as American territory
(which is the official designation of embassies). Transiting
Saturn squares Uranus on July 18 when the destructive
power between these two reaches maximum voltage.
Jupiter Enters Taurus
Magnificent, expansive Jupiter enters stable, materialistic
Taurus on Monday, June 28 and remains in this sign
through most of October when its retrograde motion carries
it back into Aries. Then Jupiter re-enters Taurus in
February 2000 and rapidly catches up with the slower
Saturn. These two will be conjunct in Taurus on May 28,
2000.
Many astrologers track this important Jupiter-Saturn cycle
because it marks significant economic, social, and political
trends. Jupiter and Saturn are conjunct about every 20
years, and tend to come together in the same sign every
third conjunction. Jupiter and Saturn were conjunct in
Taurus in 1940-41 and previously in 1881.
Taurus coincides with the U.S. seventh house of Other
Peoples and Open Enemies, reflecting a stressful
confrontation with populations ethnically different from
mainstream America. Both these Taurus conjunctions
brought major wars involving victimization of large ethnic
groups (the Jewish holocaust in World War II and the
ethnic cleansing of America’s Indian nations).
The Jupiter-Saturn conjunction in Taurus also ushers in
rapid industrialization which is consistent with its intrinsic
symbolism. In the 1880s railroad tycoons were rapidly
expanding across the Wild West, and in World War II
America’s industrial base went into high gear to churn out
war materiel. Now the U.S. is rebuilding its economic base
using the revolutionary telecommunications and computer
technologies.
Contrary to traditional astrological beliefs, the
Jupiter-Saturn conjunction does not bring the death of an
American President. This Presidential Death cycle*
corresponds to Neptune’s stressful aspects to the U.S.
Midheaven, and is not due until February 2005 to February
2006 when Neptune is opposite the Midheaven.
Stephen King Victimized by Possessed Dog
Gothic horror novelist Stephen King was struck by a van
last week, knocking him some 15 feet of the road. King
was treated for broken legs and lacerations, and is
recuperating at the hospital. Police determined that an
unrestrained dog in the Dodge Caravan went wild, causing
the driver to lose control.
Stephen King was born on September 21, 1947 (at 1:30 am
in Portland, ME) during the outer planet conjunction of
Saturn and Pluto. Most everyone born during 1947-48 is
undergoing deep personal changes now due to the current
Saturn-Uranus square that is exactly overlaying that
important conjunction.
King’s craft-oriented Virgo Sun is in the third house of
writing. A sharp square to offbeat Uranus shapes his
conscious thoughts and musings with the deep
undercurrents of the collective unconscious, as symbolized
by Uranus guarding the 12th house of the Unknown. King’s
bizarre fantasies are further amplified by Mercury, the
planet ruling writing and thought processes, conjunct
imaginative Neptune.
King’s horoscope has a phenomenal number of precise
planetary links to the U.S. horoscope, showing how he
among the thousands of wannabees became a megastar. His
Mars is exactly conjunct the U.S. Mercury, his writing
talent (Mercury) has become a national institution
(conjunct U.S. Saturn), and his Ceres, Chiron, Saturn and
Pluto are all conjunct the angles of the U.S. Scorpio Rising
chart.
King’s accident could have been foreseen by a good
astrologer. His secondary progressed Mars and Saturn were
exactly conjunct, a very dangerous combination pitting two
contrary impulses against each other. The Sun by transit
was conjunct his 12th house Uranus, making one suspect
that the dog was possessed by some evil spirit.
