Corporate America Under Fire
Corporations that sell defective products and conspire to
hide the damage received stunning setbacks last week. On
Wednesday for the first time a jury found in favor of a
group of smokers against Big Tobacco in a Florida class
action lawsuit. Then two days later a Los Angeles jury
ordered General Motors to pay a record $4.9 billion to six
people injured in a car collision.
The coincidence of these huge legal decisions favoring
consumers comes for a confluence of astrological
indicators. The background cosmic vibration for these
settlements is the ongoing Saturn-Uranus square. As these
two planets complete their square they are simultaneously
linking with the U.S. Midheaven, thereby activating major
national developments.
The progressed U.S. horoscope fills in the details of how
these developments will unfold. Progressions* are based on
the esoteric formula that one day is equivalent to one year,
and using this technique the astrologer can make more
accurate political and economic forecasts. Because of its
relatively fast motion, the progressed Moon is the key
timer, especially when it forms exact aspects to other natal
planets.
The U.S. progressed Moon is currently in the sixth house of
health and military service. Last week the progressed Moon
formed an exact square to Pluto in Capricorn, which
represents the political and financial power of Big
Business. This aspect was exact on the day that the Florida
jury handed down its verdict.
This astrological climate fostered other health news last
week. President Clinton is stumping for a Patient Bill of
Rights as a top priority for the national agenda. Both parties
in Congress have proposed their own HMO reform bills,
and a stunning medical breakthrough in treating
Alzheimer’s was announced by a California biotech
company.
Women’s Soccer Scores a Gooaaalllllll!
A Sunday crowd of 90,000 at Pasadena’s Rosebowl went
into a frenzy when Brandi Chastain converted her penalty
kick, giving the United States a 5-4 win over the Chinese
team in the World Cup finals. Well before the U.S. team
scored the winning shot they had already captured the
hearts of women across the country, inspiring new passion
and dedication for a game generally shunned by American
men.
Astrologically, women’s teams can be represented by the
Moon (women) in Aquarius (teams). The U.S. horoscope
features an Aquarius Moon, which not surprisingly is being
triggered now by a major planetary progression. The
progressed Sun is in Aquarius, and only one degree from
being exactly conjunct the Aquarius Moon.
Transiting Saturn squaring Uranus is the planetary pressure
leading up to this thrilling match. Uranus in Aquarius
resonates with the U.S. progressed Sun and natal Moon,
while Saturn in Taurus is in the seventh house of
opponents. China’s rivalry can be seen here as having
larger political message than the context of the sport.
Armchair astrologers might note that men soccer players
are from Mars and women soccer players are from Venus.
When a male soccer player scores a goal, he struts into the
limelight and teammates must catch up to join in the
celebrations. When a woman kicks a goal, she rushes
toward her teammates, knowing that the scoring was a
team effort. Women coaches work toward a touchy-feely
aspect of shared success.
Hillary Clinton in New York
The First Lady was in upstate New York last week
embarking on what she calls her “Listening Tour.” Hillary
Clinton began listening to New Yorkers one day after
officially opening an exploratory committee for her run to
replace the retiring Senator Daniel Moynihan.
Hillary Rodham Clinton was born in the warrior sign of
Scorpio (on October 26, 1947; 8:00 pm; Chicago, IL). With
four planets in Scorpio squaring three in Leo, Ms. Clinton
has an unusually tense horoscope. Such powerful dynamics
point to a life of challenges, but with a Mars-Pluto
conjunction in Leo, she is also blessed with an abundance
of courage.
The current transiting square between Saturn and Uranus is
now awakening this Leo-Scorpio configuration, and
corresponding precisely to her Senate run. The challenge
from N.Y. Mayor Rudolph Giuliani is expected to be
turbulent. Giuliani announced that he’s going to Arkansas
to conduct a fundraiser, underscoring Ms. Clinton’s status
as a carpetbagger.
Hillary Clinton should do very well. Her progressed Sun is
opposing Uranus, promising to bring her tremendous
celebrity and fame. Meanwhile, in the U.S. horoscope the
progressed Sun is nearly conjunct the natal Moon, kicking
off a new era of women in American politics. Soccer
Moms everywhere tend to support Hillary, so those
suffering from Clinton fatigue should brace themselves for
the second half.
