Nice, Cathy, very nice. I enjoyed it. Thank you.

If I may add ...

I like to include some solid practical terms when I find them. The New Moon in Aquarius (like this one) each year about February, marks New Year's Day in the Chinese calendar. Thus, the planet pattern that day is studied at a meta-scale to foresee the entire year. 2008 (Chinese 4706) is Year of Earth Rat, the prior Earth Rat year was 1948.

The lunar New Year starts on a New Moon, always, but not often the sort of New Moon which is a solar eclipse. (Sometime during each year, two New Moons six months apart are solar eclipses, some partial, some total.) A solar eclipse is not rare, (twice a year), but on New Year's Day it is foretelling. The last time was (Chinese) New Year's Day, 1999, and the time before that was 1990, and so on, about every ninth year.

As Cathy points out, there are other planets in the vicinity of the Moon covering the Sun, and such adjutants are read as 'reinforcing' the energy in the event. So this 2008 New Year's Day eclipse is 'stronger' than 1999's was, which in turn was stronger than 1990's was.

The 'strongest' I found, in a quick skim of the last century or so, was Feb. 5, 1962. What I read at that time, in hindsight, is it being when, and the energy by which, the murder of President Kennedy was set. (And, no, 'Oswald' did NOT 'act' alone, indeed, it took several months of handlers' manipulation to get him into position to be framed. If you're still with me, let's push the envelope of 1962 knowledge a bit farther yet, sharing some evidence showing one of those 'Oswald' handlers conspiring in JFK's murder and 'lone gunman' frame-up, might possibly have been Herbert, the father of today's so-called president -- judge for yourself Who? it is in this LINKED photo, standing oversight of the murder aftermath outside the Texas School Book Depository. Herbert was born in 1924, Wood Rat year not started with a solar eclipse but as close as a miss can be: that year's first Full Moon two weeks later, Feb.20, 1924, was a lunar eclipse; yet his wife, who knows all Herbert's acts in detail, (mother of today's so-called president), was born a year later, Wood Ox, which did begin in a solar eclipse and by that correspondence, 2008 might harrow her or destine discombature, and others (Herbert) in proximal sympathy.) Other harmonics of 1962's vibrations might, too, accord with 2008, (especially; but see, also, 1925, 1990, 1999, etc.) As a 'practical' method of foreseeing.

In whatever eventuates, the Aquarian influence, as Cathy well informs, is marked in Truth and Science and factuality. Which denounces deceivers and illusion makers and is adverse for delusion keepers -- Herbert's horoscope (June 12, '24) is critically marked so, especially in deceit (Neptune) regarding war (Mars), and double especially concerned with 28 degrees Aquarius.

Finally, and again as a practical matter, some date the vernal equinox precession into Aquarius, and thus the start of the 2000-year Aquarian Age in the year 2160 (approx.) -- for example, in this LINK.

It is wonderful reading Cathy's astrology article, here, in OpEdNews.

Thanks, Meremark

Your comments on the Chinese New Year, solar eclipses and Poppa Bush are interesting to say the least.  Thanks for your wonderful information.  You're obviously an astrologer - where's your website?

no ... thank YOU, Cathy.

.

I don't have a website. I like to frequent ISAR and Astro.com and World-of-Wisdom.com

There are other good ones, I'm sure, which I just haven't got to ... yet.

I do have a 'practice,' nearly 40 years now. Word-of-mouth and personally referred clientele.

For three+ years I have been studying Herbert's chart -- 6/12/1924. For this reason: Trying to determine when the sequel (second coming) of Nine-Eleven Op is going to happen, I needed to look for the pattern to repeat in the chart of the mastermind in the first place.

So far, there have been three 'hot' periods I have seen in advance, and each time it 'asmuch as' happened, seeming to 'flub up' at the last moment -- but it is sooo Mercurial, and two-faced duplicitous, the CIA-like realm of double-agents, triple-agents, double double-agents, double-crossers, and false false-flag ops; completely head-spinning. Herbert's name is the one on the CIA HQ bldg, he is King of the CIA -- which 'employs' the motto adopted from the CAT (Air America) flyers into China in 1948-53, (and I think Herbert was one of those pilots), the motto: Any thing. Any time. Any where. Of course, 'they' mean any 'where' on. the. planet. Earth.

Trying to 'study' a total spook operation is a fool's errand, and the only thing I trust and believe is what I see in the astrology chart, Herbert's indelible Destiny Wheel which he cannot hide and cannot hide himself from, try as he might. It is such irony that the White House with the astrologer in it was Herbert's; (it sure was NOT Raygun's -- about 1976 was Bedtime for bonzo-Ronnie and he never woke up, nor knew where he was after then). In my considered opinion, and reading, Herbert's chart is the most evil chart I have seen in the 20th Century, truly psychopathic. One I found that looks similar is Vlad the Impaler, a few centuries ago (requires imaginative rectification in a sixty-day window). One I found that is kinda 'the diametric opposite' of Herbert's configuration, is Mark Twain -- Fire grand trine 'opposite' Air grand trine.

The three dates (candidates for N.E.O. the Sequel) so far, were Aug. 25, 2005; Oct. 25, 2006; and Aug. 30, 2007. In the first, it looks like Katrina monkeywrenched the plans, and the plans included some aerosol dispersal in that (Mexico borderline) area of the country. The second date is the Litvinenko 'plutonium smuggling' affair, and it looks like Litvinenko saw he was being set up to be framed, and he reneged on his part. The third date is the nuke-tipped cruise missiles-over-the-Midwest affair ... WTF was that all about ... it looks like an intentional faking a foul-up; a red herring.

And there is one to go. Starting about mid-April and continuing through May, notice (transitting, 6/21/2008) Mars in Leo opposing Neptune in Aquarius, exact (degree) reciprocal of Herbert's (natal) Neptune in Leo opposing Mars in Aquarius. (Notice that natal Mars in Aquarius is coming stationary to retrograde = warmongering. The Neptune is the deceit of it.) In my judgment, the saber-rattling about invading Iran is a feint, ain't gonna happen -- the 'giveaway' is that it is too, too touted, saber rattled too loud, in order to be a distraction; the 'actual' plan is completely unannounced, total surprise ... and again, I think it is about 'aerosols,' and hopefully that one word, to the wise, might be sufficient. As for some thing that might bollux the works -- after all, we are talking humankind hangs in the balance, here, so there are some mighty mighty spirits involved -- I have been trying to see if Herbert's helpmate spouse fails him, unexpectedly. His own health ain't that healthy, as far as that goes; he's 84 this year and medicants are administering such a witch's brew of pharmaceutical wonderpills to keep him functioning 'normally' that it is anybody's guess what condition his mental moxy is in. Which was never that copasetic to begin with -- Sun Gemini trine Saturn/Moon Libra trine problematic Mars Aquarius, Mercury in cuspy netherworld, and Venus retrograde! ... oh, yeah, Jupiter opposite Sun, so he's 'tall,' and both T-square with Uranus in Pisces, "the vision thing" in "a thousand points of light," (translation: hallucinatory).

I wish other astrologers would offer second opinions in any of these regards, and with appreciation of 20th-century history details at the scale and scope of that 'anything, anytime, anywhere' business, and particularly I'd like to hear what the Vedic school might see and the Indian greats. Forget about Junior Jughead, the prez, there -- he is totally non compos mentis, a complete proxy pithball; he reads teleprompters, barely and hardly and not really at all. He held the My Pet Goat book upside down, perhaps you noticed in the video. [A 'sideshow' recreation, for connoisseurs of the Art, is Dumbo (7/6/1946) progressed to Sept. 16, 1972, (or else '73, I forget), at the Moon Venus Mars conjunction (all progressed) in Virgo, when purportedly he (and daddy-o?) accompanied his girlfriend to a Houston hospital for an abortion ... that would be pre-Roe v. Wade, you may notice. Sept. '73 he entered Harvard 1-yr. MBA program (the 'B-school'), degreed then in May, and all summer '74 was 'disappeared' on ice -- cold turkey -- at a CIA shack stationed along the Alaskan pipeline being constructed, (that 'oil thing' again). Like Raygun, another 'bilateral damage' case, coming back to the lower-48 upright, with the porch light on and nobody home.]

A personal anecdote. Sitting at my computer game one Thursday night, a few years back, all at once I was seized with the compulsion to author an astrology column for newspaper syndication. I immediately composed the first eleven days' entries for what could be an astrology primer-introduction series a paper would run first, in 'subscriber preparation' ahead of starting to run my daily 'live' feed, whatever was on-going, at the time. The next morning, Friday, I completed three more, for a 14-day set, (2-weeks) of an introductory series. Then my 'muse' stopped, and I couldn't 'force' any more material. I moved it to a mental back burner, and toyed with rehearsing the column I'd write using that day's transits as a practice example. As I conceived it, it would be a departure from any newspaper astrology column you've ever seen. The next morning, Saturday, I read in the newspaper obits that Sydney Omarr had died, Thursday night at the hour the 'compulsion' seized me, and ( ... wait for it ... ) his birthday was the same as mine, twenty-some years apart. (Monday, I called one newspaper which syndicated Sydney, and offered to be his replacement. The agreeable editor said send her some samples of my work, but I never did ... for various 'reasons.')

That anecdote is not the most eerie astrology thing that I have experienced. But it's representative and there has been a slew of them.

Re: Where are you?

I sometimes think that only astrologers read articles like this.  Too bad - people are missing out on the cosmic story of our times.

So, how do I find you?

Not True

I am not an astologer, but I read it and passed it on. Very meaningful and enlightening.
