Saturn vs. Neptune
President Clinton’s diplomatic mission to Beijing was
unexpectedly disrupted last Friday when Chinese officials
rounded up a handful of dissidents. The situation reminded
the Chinese people, and observers around the global village
that the communist government still espoused the same
oppressive policy that led to the Tiananmen Square
massacre on June 4, 1989 (you read it here first last week!).
The two Leo Presidents openly debated during a press
conference, an historical spectacle which riveted the 100
million Chinese people watching on television. Occurring
under the celestial atmosphere of Saturn in Taurus exactly
squaring (adversely linked) to Neptune in Aquarius, the
tenor of the meetings shifted dramatically from
Constructive Engagement (Saturn in Taurus) to Human
Rights (Neptune in Aquarius).
Saturn in Taurus is primarily concerned about security and
stability. President Jiang defended the Tiananmen police
action as a way of preserving the security of the nation.
Neptune in Aquarius holds ideals (Neptune) about equality,
freedom of assembly, and freedom of speech (Aquarius).
Clinton will not be able to continually personify the Human
Rights component in this celestial equation due to the
economic strength of China. Still, watch Clinton to make
an important speech on human rights over this coming
week (Mars in vocal Gemini is given enthusiasm and vision
by its link to Jupiter in Pisces). Clinton should emerge from
this trip as a brilliant foreign policy strategist (Mars, Juno
and Jupiter all sharply connected to his Pallas Athene, the
political asteroid), and strengthened authority (transiting
Saturn square his own Saturn).
The People’s Decade
In the United States, the Supreme Court issued a flurry of
historical rulings last week, including standards on sexual
harassment in the workplace. Hailed by both women’s and
employer’s groups, the ruling was declared by all a
Win-Win situation.
With both Uranus and Neptune in Aquarius now, the 1990s
has been appropriately called “The People’s Decade.”
Recently, Indonesia staged a people’s revolution,
peacefully tossing out a corrupt and aged dictator. In
Russia, the people have restrained tyrannical forces, and in
China too we have seen a growing middle class and
popular elections at the village level.
Many of these developments can be attributed to the
growing telecommunications industry. Are we in the Age
of Aquarius? When the Age of Pisces commenced, fish
symbolism could be seen everywhere. The symbol for
Aquarius is the doubled zigzag, representing the waters of
knowledge. The WorldWideWeb (WWW) looks
suspiciously like the Aquarius glyph.
According to one pervasive theory, the WWW may be the
beginning stages of the Global Brain. When every
individual knows everything by being connected to the
Internet, then each human being is like a cell in a brain.
Humanity is becoming Gaia’s neural net.
Bruce Willis and Armageddon
Armageddon, the movie, opens July 1 across the nation,
and seems likely to be a summer smash hit. Bruce Willis
stars in this catastrophe flick where he saves the world
from a Texas-sized meteor, the same kind of disaster that
destroyed the dinosaurs millions of years ago.
Bruce Willis was born a savior-type Pisces (March 19,
1955 in West Germany). His methodology, as in all his
action pictures, involves flamboyant amounts of
testosterone pumping through every dramatic scene. Macho
behavior is signified by a stressed Mars, which is under
constant pressure to produce manly acts of courage and
strength. Willis has Mars in calm Taurus, but severely
challenged by an opposition to task-resistant Saturn.
One astrological indicator that points to Armageddon’s
success is Jupiter, which by transit is making a long station
on Willis’s Sun. Jupiter comes to a full stop on July 17,
right around the time that box office receipts should be
confirming. We will likely also see much of Willis in
popular media as he basks in the limelight, glowing with
the flush of ham that goes along with major Jupiter transits.
Last week his publicist announced that he and wife Demi
Moore are separating after 11 years of marriage. Moore (b.
November 11, 1962) has her Mars exactly squaring Willis’s
Mars, a combination that most often produces extreme ego
conflicts between partners. In fact, these two have both had
enormously successful careers, and the challenges shown
by their Mars links may have been mutually stimulating for
much of their partnership.
A major Jupiter transit, as Willis is currently experiencing,
not only brings career success, but also personal freedom
from stagnant situations and relationships. Although these
two have some very constructive and supportive planetary
connections, over the last few months transiting Uranus has
activated their Mercury-Mars aspects, indicating impulsive
and unforgivable biting comments. And so it ended...
