Republicans in Disarray
Reversing the normal pattern of gaining seats in mid-term
elections, Republicans lost five seats to whittle its
advantage in the House to a narrow majority. The backlash
in party politics was immediate, with the impeachment
process put on the fast track, and Speaker Newt Gingrich
resigning.
The central astrological indicator for these stunning events
is Uranus, the planet of sudden reversals, which is closely
squaring the U.S. Ascendant.* Uranus brings unexpected
results, and can lead to swift changes.
Meanwhile, the outer planets Saturn and Neptune continue
to pull party loyalists in different directions. Moderate and
Christian Coalition wings of the Republican Party are vying
for a more practical, bipartisan agenda (Saturn) and a
principled, divinely-inspired platform (Neptune).
Can George Bush III lead the GOP out of this morass?
Holographically connected to this process of dissolution,
Honduras and neighboring Central American nations lost
over 12,000 people to landslides last week. As Ceres and
Pluto oppose each other in the sky over the coming week,
Red Cross and other global relief agencies are swarming
onto the scene.
As Governor of Texas, Bush had a similar catastrophe on
his hands following drought and flooding this past Summer
(when transiting Uranus activated his Ceres-Pluto axis).
Just as Bill Clinton’s Don Juan planets constellated a
Monica Lewinski, George Bush’s planets will likely
coincide with cataclysmic natural disasters if he is elected
in 2000.
Geron Corporation Patents Immortality
Last Thursday the Geron Corporation, a small California
biotechnology firm, announced that it had discovered a way
to grow human stem cells in test tubes. Their genetic
research involves primary, embryonic brain cells which are
essentially immortal until they differentiate into human
organs. Futurologists suggest that this breakthrough could
eventually lead to immortal replacements parts for diseased
organs.
Geron’s stock price soared from $7 to $17 in two days, a
quantum leap which can be tracked by viewing Geron’s
First Trade chart. Geron began trading on the NASDAQ
market when the Sun was in proud Leo (July 31, 1996; 9:30
am; NY, NY), and closely aspecting most of the outer
planets, including futuristic, high-tech Uranus. The stock
price jumped just as transiting Uranus was exactly opposite
Geron’s Sun (and triggered by a Mars-Jupiter opposition to
Geron’s Midheaven).
Geron’s unique corporate position is shown by the Sun’s
conjunction to the U.S. North Node, which indicates a
magnetic pull to collective evolutionary trends. Geron is a
pharmaceutical company, an endeavor traditionally ruled
by Neptune. Geron’s First Trade Ascendant is in the same
zodiacal location as the U.S. Neptune, indicating that this
company is a perfect vehicle to manifest American
pharmaceutical ventures.
Geron’s Aquarius Moon happens to be perfectly in line
with the U.S. Aquarian Moon. Over the next two years
(when the progressed U.S. Sun nears the U.S. Moon),
Geron Corporation will undoubtedly play a central role in
shaping America’s future. The future is in biotechnology,
and astrologically Geron is a rising star.
Gingrich Busted by Saturn
In the wake of disastrous election results for Republicans,
Newt Gingrich announced last week that he was resigning
from his position as Speaker of the House. The job
description included being the chief Republican strategist,
from where Gingrich led the partisan attack on Clinton’s
ethics rather than forging legislation.
Gingrich was born an intellectual Gemini (June 17, 1943;
3:03 am; Harrisburg, PA) with his Moon in philosophic,
moralistic Sagittarius. Gingrich’s combative nature can be
seen in his Mars and Pluto positions. Mars is strong in
Aries, but placed in the 12th house works more efficiently
fighting the powers that be, rather than in building
consensus in a leadership position.
Gingrich’s Pluto squares his Taurus Ascendant, an aspect
that gives his conservative presentation passion and
resourcefulness, but is prone to being the troublemaker, the
one strong voice that creates factional politics.
Gingrich’s horoscope has very precise alignments with the
U.S. horoscope which reflects why he has had such an
impact on American politics. His 8 degree Taurus
Ascendant is exactly 180 degrees flipped from the U.S.
Scorpio Ascendant. Then, his tenth house Juno, which
governs his professional career, is exactly conjunct the U.S.
Pluto. The timing of his professional highs and lows
correspond precisely to the activation of these U.S.-natal
parallels.
Gingrich arrived in power in 1994 when transiting Uranus
landed on his Juno, so that he led a Republican Revolution.
He retires suddenly and unexpectedly as transiting Uranus
is squaring his Ascendant. And perhaps more significantly,
Saturn is now crossing his Juno, painfully pointing out that
his scandal-mongering was just not practical politics.
