Ibrahim Hassan al-Asiri

This kid has grown up to be every Mother's dream.  Al Qaeda's best bomb builder.

According to Rex Bills Rulership Book, Uranus rules bombs along with Mars as a sub-ruler.  Mars rules weaponry like guns and knives.  Bombs are more complicated and require an Outer Planet influence I guess.  Uranus rules all group activities, including getting killed with others I guess.  Mars rules ignitions and sparks and Uranus rules unexpected and shocking events along with innovative flair. So, put them together and you go kaboom.

Asiri's chart has a sextile between these planets with a 2 second orb.  That's pretty precise.  Sextiles show talent in a natal chart.  These two planets have no other major aspects to other planets so they work as an island influence in the chart.

Mars is at 4 Libra Rx and Uranus is at 4 Sagittarius Rx.  Those Rx's show that one needs to look at his progressions to watch for banner years in this dude's life.  When they come out of progression, o boy.  No, make that O "Little Boy."

To add to this insulated influence in al-Asiri's chart, the world's best bomb maker has an Aries Sun.  So al-asiri's Sun disposits to his Mars.  That's a lot of fire energy.  He was also born during a conjunction of Saturn to Pluto in Libra which shows an innate sense of what is real and what is not.  It's great for scientific creations.  It's a connection that is associated with Loss and feelings of ruthlessness which can branch out in ugly ways that are not fun to party with later in life.  Saturn-Pluto is extremely hard working and determined.  Both planets don't give up a fight easily and they are reserved so one may not always know what one is dealing with.  They like to make plans and carry them out.  They like to manage and advise others.  Mars is merely trigger happy.  Saturn and Pluto want to make you remember what they came here for.  Means business, figuratively and literally.

This source is the list of current al-Qaeda members.  Would be interesting to study at a later date although I personally might not want to get involved.

Al-Asiri is born with Mars at 4 Libra Retrograde.  This means that Mars is in the sign of its Fall, Mars is in the sign which opposes it's natural rulership.  Mars strikes out, Venus strikes back, usually with a desire for Peace or at least non-violence. They rule both ends of the Relationship Pole in the chart. They both want to Act because they both rule Cardinal signs.  Cardinal Signs like to start things.  If you build bombs you can destroy things rather than finish them if they start to annoy you. The Mars Rx shows al-Asiri and everyone else born within a couple of months of his birthday have a special experience in trying to resolve Mars in Libra issues. That's some heavy need to balance what one wants rather than what others want. There are zillions of ways they can do this, don't have to become bomb builders.  They might have bad tempers or attract people who do.  The progressed Mars in the U.S. chart is in this same Retrograde position right now.

In al-Asiri's progressed chart, Mars Stationed Direct back in 2005-6 at 1 Libra.  That's not only an Aries Point but it has been getting hits from the recent big outer planet t-square between Saturn-Uranus-Pluto.He's also also just completed his first Saturn Return, that's a time for making major decisions about one's role in the world.  He become top bomb builder.  As I said his natal Saturn is Rx in Libra in conjunction with Pluto Rx in Libra and widely in a stellium with Jupiter in Scorpio.  All this opposes his natal Aries Sun.

His attitude changed greatly when his brother died from a suicide bombing in 2009.  This is a few years after his prog. Mars SD at 1 Libra (Aries Point, comes before public).  Natal Mercury (sibling) is 6 Taurus.  Prog. Mercury in 2009 was at 14 Gemini which is that weird Gemini-Sagittarius pole connected with Arab terrorism (placement of the Saturn-Pluto opposition during 9/11).  He possibly has a natal trine with Moon and Saturn in Aquarius and Libra.  Moon and Saturn represent Family connections, Homeland, patriotism, tradition.  Progressed Mercury would have filled in a Grand Trine figure which would perhaps make him feel more motivated.  I'm trying to figure out what will show motivation in a chart.  A Grand Trine can seal off an energy (my trans of what I think Noel Tyl says) and can be connected to feeling like one has found one's calling in life.  It might be like a Vortex influence which sucks one down eventually into fanaticism.  Al-Asiri's Natal North Node is in Cancer so this shows that he would be drawn in this direction.  Too bad he doesn't use his natural talents in directing energy to develop a water purification process instead which is what the world needs in order to get along right now.  Somebody send him a book about Viktor Schauberger or something.

His Aries Sun, which as I said disposits to Mars is strongly placed in his natal chart.  It is opposing Saturn 19 Libra Rx, Pluto 26 Libra Rx, and Jupiter 7 Scorpio Rx.  Oppositions show relationships and balancing acts and a person who will engage with others.  In this case, al-Asiri feels naturally connected to the politics of his time as shown through Sun opposing Jupiter and Saturn which represent political and social affairs.  Pluto opposite Sun will show power plays with others. 

By Solar Arc this opposition is hitting his natal Uranus in Sagittarius.  With the upcoming 2.5 year long mutual reception of Saturn and Pluto along with the transiting Uranus-Pluto square I hope we don't see al-Asiri's finest hour.  Currently he's having his Saturn Return which is opposing natal Sun and in conjunction with n.Saturn-Pluto-Jupiter.  His prog. Sun is at 29 Taurus and will be opposing natal Uranus 4 Sagittarius Rx over the next 5 or 6 years.

Neptune-Pluto Sextile Stuff

I just realized a couple of things about outer planet transits.  This would be a big doi for most astrologers I guess but I'm just catching on.

When you have a long term planetary aspect this means that no one born during that time will have an unaspected planet in his or her chart.

Am wondering how that works out for all of us who are born during this long Neptune-Pluto sextile.  It moves in and out of orb and has changed signs but so many people born within the last 50 or so years share it.  Because of their long orbits no one on earth can experience a full cycle of either of these planets.  It's sort of as if we have "talent" (sextile) for understanding what most generations before us thought was mystery.  Kind of interesting how our generations aren't producing any original art, Religion has been given backseat to Science, and We are extremely materialistic.  All the natural Neptune-Pluto interpretations seem to not exist.  The Pluto in Leos have strong belief in Astrology but the Pluto in Virgos and Libras don't seem to.

Lots of ways to translate this.

Both Pluto and Neptune rule Water signs.  Water is becoming the biggest concern with global warming. There's a study from out of a school in Wisconsin about how the tap water supplies in Wisconsin (maybe it was Minnesota) and California has fecal contamination because the underground plumbing infrastructure is broken. Just try going into a Health or Water dept to explain this.  You will get nothing but denial.  Actually the reaction is so Neptunian it's unbelievable.

The other planet which rules Water is the Moon.  This functions at the completely opposite side of the life span cycles in humans.  The Lunar Cycle is the first cycle a baby completes.  It's the shortest cycle and humans have way more Lunar Cycles than any other planet. I know, the Moon isn't a planet, it's a Moon.  Curing first year of life, Babies have at least 10 Lunar Returns before completing any other planetary cycle if they happen to have their first Mercury Return at its earliest which is 10 months.  Learning how to receive Love and to reflect it back is the most important human survival skill maybe.  Maybe we just need to develop ability to process hydration in our systems before anything else.

Kentucky Derby Day

The Kentucky Derby runs today.  And there's also a Supermoon tonight.  That's a Full Moon that's close to earth.

So, the Kentucky Derby today has the full Moon within 2 degrees just barely entering the 1st-7th Houses. I mean, just barely, so whatever people put their money on (H2-H8) may not be the winner.  That's craziness. 

First we want to celebrate the Horses because they are so damn lovely.  Here's a list.  The experts have picked their favorites but as I've said before the real way to pick the winner is to go down to the Paddock right before the race with your Sagittarius Mother and see which horse looks her in the eye.  Sagittarians have special affinities with animals.  Animals like a Happy Person, or at least a lucky person, or at least a person who feels lucky.

Most of the women at the Derby wear big hats so I don't know if they are Sagittarians.  I'm pretty certain that this scares the horses.  It scares me, especially since Uranus, planet of weirdness, is in Aries, the sign of everything that goes on the head.  There might be some weird feathers stuck on today's chapeaus, probably whole turkeys.  And last I heard it's raining in Louisville so there will be sagging feathers, woddles, and plastic bags.  Ugh. How can the horse see your eyes if all that crap is in the way.

Kentucky Derby
May 5, 2012  6:24 pm  EDT, Louisville, KY

Sun 16 Taurus (H7);  Moon 13 Scorpio (H1); ASC 20 Libra;  MC 23 Cancer;  NN 7 Sagittarius (H2)

Kentucky Derby is always in May so is always a Taurus event.

Neptune (H5), planet of big climatic issues involving water, is squaring the Nodal Axis (H2-8).   Today's practice was cancelled because the track was soaked from last night's storms.  This aspect works out into a t-square because Mars at 7 Virgo is opposing Neptune-Chiron.  Mars is up in the 11th Houses of Wishes and Hopes and is opposing the planet of Dreams.  This aspect has been in effect for a really long time over the past couple of months because of Mars' Retrograde.  There might be spectacle or deception with regards to money and risk taking and hopes, etc.  Neptune rules big animals but I think that might be big animals who live out in the wild.  I think that Jupiter rules horses but probably nobody else does.

Mars rules the 7th House of the chart so it represents either the Jockeys or the Horses or whomever takes poo.  Must be the Horse because the Jockey holds the reigns, which is a first house thing.  Actually, with Venus ruling H1 and Mars ruling House 2 we have a reversal of the natural rulers.  Both Venus in Gemini and Mars in Virgo disposit to Mercury and Mercury is conjunct the Descendant.  So, the horses will be truly running around and around in a circle trying to figure out who's going to drive this thing.  And, actually, it won't be that confusing because Mercury is opposed by Saturn/ASC and that shows that someone with solid concentration will be holding the reigns.

Saturn represents timing and delay, and professionalism and going ahead with bad ideas that ought to be delayed.  So, the horse that can run in mud best will win.  I could have told you that just by reading the weather report. The Jockey will have to be cautious and pushy and have good timing.

I'm remembering a song my Sagittarius Mother used to sing with her Ukelele.

went something like:

The horses run around
Their feet are on the ground
Oh who will wind the clock while I'm away, away?
Go get the axe there's a hair on baby's chest
Who put the shore so near the ocean, the ocean?.

There's more.  I pretty certain I've scrambled the lines.

Don't know how to determine who wins a race. I think that the rulers of the fire signs represent sports.  That's Mars, Jupiter, Sun. and H1-5-9.  All these planets are in earth signs today and are placed in H5,7 and 11.  Jupiter represents Good Luck so is probably most associated with a winner.  Jupiter is placed in the 8th House which probably represents placing a bet.  He is in conjunction with the Sun (risk) and Lilith (even riskier). 

The Ascendant/H1 cusp would show the starting point especially in sports requiring a rider and a ridee.  The 1st House of this chart contains both of the rulers of both the IC and MC which are Moon 13 Scorpio and Saturn Rx at the end of Libra.  Moon and Saturn are natural rulers of the IC and MC which are the top and bottom of the chart so this angle receives extra attention.  They represent tradition, Mom and Dad, genetics.  Saturn conjunct the ASC could show good bone structure.  Moon could represent horse reacting to crowds or to my Dead Mother who I'm sure will be floating around in the paddock to see if anyone can see her ghost.  To be honest, I think they've bred the life out of the race horses so they are just sort of tired and depressed.  But, Saturn in H1 can give good rhythm and opposing Mercury will show something having to do with focus and concentration. And, any horse that gets any extra love or sugar cubes right before the race will do much better than the others.

Chart ruler is Venus 23 Gemini.  She's in H9.  So the horse from the foreign country, or the jockey from the foreign country wins.  Or the horse with the best manual dexterity wins.  Or the most logical horse wins.  Or maybe Mr. Ed will be there.

A horse is a horse
 unless of course
 you talk to Mr. Ed.

Mercury, Venus and Mars Retrogrades of 2012, 1st half

People with major points in their charts at Mid-Mutable signs are catching the brunt of some tricky energy this year from the Venus and Mars Retrogrades.  Mutable Signs are about refining things and finishing things up.  Mutable Signs are closers.  Probably even the Geminis if you can keep them from getting distracted or chain them to some Scorpios or other Fixed Signs.

Mars stationed Rx on  Jan 23, 2012 at 24 Virgo and then stationed D on  Apr. 13, 2012 at 4 Virgo.  It will return to its point of Rx, 24 Virgo on June 19, 2012.  This means that 4 through 24 degrees of Virgo are probably a little more impulsive and inspired than usual. Mars usually has a retrograde aspect about every 2 years, I think its slightly more than 2 years but don't quote me and I'm not looking it up.  Virgos may be feeling like they are getting picked up by the nape of their necks and pulled along at very fast speeds right now.  The other Mutable Signs might be feeling like they are getting pushed

A major aspect of any Mars Retrograde is that it includes an opposition from Mars to the Sun.  This occurred this year on March 3 with Sun at 14 Pisces opposing Mars at 14 Virgo Rx.

The last Mars Rx was in Leo-Cancer and included an opposition from Pluto over the important 1 Cancer/Capricorn points.  This was right around the time that the Saturn, Uranus t-square would have been forming.  

March 3, 2012  between 3:00 pm and 3:24 pm EST, NY, NY

This Sun-Mars synodic cycle might promise Success for those afflicted ro affected as Mars was in a Grand Trine with Jupiter in Taurus and Pluto in Capricorn.  At the time of the opposition Mars was in the 2d House and Sun was in the 8th House.  This doesn't seem like the world's most ethical combination but it does seem lucky.  

I remember reading once, but can't verify the truth of, that Mars has the most erratic cycle of all the planets.

All the planets outside of the Earth's orbit will have an opposition like this.  This is called a Synodic Cycle.

The two planets which are inside the Earth's orbit, that's Mercury and Venus, will have conjunctions to the Sun instead of oppositions.

Venus is currently traveling through the sign of Gemini.  She will go retrograde on May 15.  She will then be in conjunction with the Sun on June 5.

Venus and the Sun have a very regular cycle in which they are in conjunction every 18 months.  This is a very interesting cycle because of all the cycles it is the most precise.  5 of these cycles in a row puts them back almost in the same spot in the Astrological Wheel.  This cycle makes up a star pattern on the wheel which looks like a pentagram.  This Venus Rx is the end of an eight year cycle which is rare.

Venus will be in conjunction with the Sun on June 5 this year at 16 Gemini.  It will square Mars at 17 Virgo and widely trine Saturn at 24 Libra Rx.

Marketing angst.  Mental Angst.  Communications Angst.

Angst.  Angst.  Angst.

I would assume that Gemini's are getting some extra help by this Venus transit but I'm certainly not.  And a composer-artist I used to know who was born on June 5 or 6 committed suicide last year.  Venus and Sun together can often have that effect.  At least that's my observation, but most astrologers would probably like to say that this is a great time to get married.  June is a big month for marriage.  Why not wait until October this year?

And speaking of Angst.

Mercury, that nervour little beast, was in Rx in March and April. and was in conjunction with the Sun at 2 Aries.  It was also in conjunction with Uranus.  The rewiring of the world.

March 21, 2012  3:13 pm about, EST  NY, NY  

Meet George Jetson...

I've got Gemini Rising and Aquarius Midheaven and the rulers of both of those poles are in conjunction in my 3d House.

And I can not tell you how excited I get watching this videoof a concept car made by Volkswagon in China.

Secret Service. Hot Nights in Cartagena, Columbia.

President Obama went to Columbia for a Meeting with Latin American Leaders.  His visit was scheduled for a Friday the 13th.  That's all you really need to know if you're superstitious. And an Aries Sun. Impulsive.  Remember when I wrote about the Aries Guy who made the Girls Gone Wild Videos for Spring Break which is a naturally Aries type of experience?  Well, that's Aries.  Spring Break stuff.  And certain members of the Secret Service went to Columbia to prepare for the Presidential Visit and managed to go out and get drunk and hire some hookers and bring them all back to the secured hotel facilities. Aries.  That's not a big deal because apparently this is normal  behavior which happens at any time of the year.  Prostitution is legal in Columbia.  Thing is, some guy mis-communicated about how much he was willing to pay his trick and she got mad.  Don't blame her.  Now there have been firings of the Secret Service.  Prostitutes probably better employed than ever.

Two weeks later and all offending members have been dealt with.

Okay, so I'm sitting in the Public Library and my computer screen keeps flipping back and forth and the touch on my keyboard is really bad and the computer is running hot.  That means that somebody is hacking my computer.  Who's doing it?

Anonymous?
Wikileaks?
Yahoo?
Google?
Insurance Company?
Fusion Center?
Secret Service?
FBI?
Homeland Security?
Fat 42 year slob who's tired of playing Dragons and Dungeons (finally) because it's his Uranus opposition?
Librarian?
All of above?

All of above except maybe for the librarian.  They tend to believe that people have inalienable rights.

Oooh, some guy just logged off his computer.  He's middle aged white guy who works out.  Good bye Mr. Security Agent a-hole.  Keyboard is still hot. Huh, maybe he's just some guy using the internet.

So, anyway, Friday the 13th. Bad Luck.  Does not bode well for a Presidential Visit in this case. Didn't they make a movie about that?  Wonder what Obama was watching on the plane during his flight.

Here's a link to some mood music by MC Hammer so we can put ourselves in the Secret Service's shoes.

I'm too sexy for my ...
I'm too sexy...

Airforce One with Obama on it was due on Friday the 13th. Rewind to 2 nights before that. There were at least 10 male SS members and 2 bottles of Vodka on the evening of April 11, 2012.  And it's unclear what type of establishment they were gracing their presence in.  Discotheque, Whore House, Strip Joint, facts are bleary.  Women were there too, yesiree, they certainly were.

And towards 6:30 am there were same amount of Secret Service Members plus 20 or so Sex Workers all beddy bie.  They seem to have wended their way back to the Presidential Hotel by 4:00 am the next morning, April 12, 2012.  If you do the math that means that there were combo's during the evening. There were roughly 2 women for 1 man.  According to some accounts there were switcharoos and shares between Service personnel.

Don't try this at home until Mars stations direct. Mars in Virgo is good with money but insecure in sex in ways that work out kind of weirdly.

Anyway, Good Old Janet Napolitano finally came out and called the whole secret service scandal something, what were her words?  Reprehensible.  Big word.  You can tell she's not from California.

Napolitano is looking deeper into the matter to see if there were other incidents in which this thing has occurred (doi) and she said:

"The only reason I suggest that we need to maybe look at little harder is because we're lucky to have found out about this. If there hadn't been an argument between one of the agents and, I guess, a prostitute, for lack of a better word, about money, we'd probably have never known about this."

http://news.yahoo.com/napolitano-secret-scandal-inexcusable-152639196.html

The word was "inexcusable" not "reprehensible".  Sorry.  And just like a Sadge to make the remark that we're "Lucky" to have found out about this.  No, we aren't.  And nobody cares, this is just Bread and Circus. I say let bygones be bygones in this instance because it's really expensive to look into this stuff.  And how embarrassing could this be to go through?  Maybe Pluto in Capricorn will be all about feeling really really embarrassed about everything that we do to the point that we just don't do anything anymore.

So much chit chat.  So little time.  Moving on.

The Hooker and the John (I'm sorry, Secret Serviceman) who started the scandal started it because of arguments over money.  The Hooker is a 24-year single mother.  So she's going through her 2d Jupiter Return.  She's feeling lucky, she's got her opinions about things, she's at her prime, she could have left with any guy in the joint.   So her Jupiter is likely in Taurus and Taurus rules money and you don't want to get Taurus riled because once they blow, in the mental sense of course, they really blow. 

At any rate, it seems that the Hooker stopped to buy condoms which indicates to me that she wasn't even a Hooker but a single mother who was picking up men at a bar so she could feed her kid, and also have her nails, and toes, done.

Hookers are ruled by Venus, Pluto.  We could add Uranus.  We could add Moon because this one is a Mother.  We might add some Mercury-Mars-Saturn stuff for business skills.  Just throw in the whole universe.  This is the world's oldest profession.

The Secret Service is considered military security so that gives us Mars and Saturn.  These particular guys were, in their own way, protecting (Moon) the President (Saturn).

The argument began when this particular lady of the evening was called next morning by the front desk of the hotel.  The hotel calls all rooms containing hookers with Rise N Shine N Get the F out of Here calls at 6:30 am.

So what's the chart of an argument over money about how much a person owes a Hooker for the previous night's work?  (See, she wasn't professional because she didn't get the money up front, even I know that)

Apr. 12, 2012, 6:30 am, Cartagena, Columbia
A Taxi Driver was picking ladies up at the hotel as late as 9:30 am so there were at least 3 hours of screaming.

 Asc 3 Taurus;  MC 27 Capricorn;  Sun 23 Aries (H12);  Moon 11 Capricorn (H9);  NN 8 Sagittarius (H8)

Taurus is Rising here and Taurus equals Money.  Taurus can also covet money so can indicate a cheapskate.  Jupiter is in the first House in Taurus and in conjunction with Lilith.  Don't mess with Lilith.  She doesnt' take rejection like a Lady. 

This puts Scorpio on the Descendant and Scorpio rules Sex, Death and Taxes.  And at least nobody got killed.  7th House wants to keep things pretty.  The relationship axis shows cheap Secret Service men and the Prostitutes who don't take their crap lying down, figuratively of course.  You have to read all these aspects from so many levels. Physical, Emotional, Physical, Spiritual, Physical.

Venus is at 8 Gemini exactly in conjunction with the South Node in Gemini in the 2d House of money.

South Node is a whoopsie moment because you're supposed to be doing the North Node stuff.

Gemini equals phone calls (remember everything was going really well until the Rise n Shine phone call).  Gemini equals contracts and negotiations and arguments and so perhaps Venus on the South Node shows a little accident with women concerning one's destiny.

The woman had asked for a gift of $800 the night before while buying condoms and the Secret Service Dude handed her $30. And she meant it. Venus asks for gifts, she knows the values of her services.

The Venus-Nodal Axis is actually in a Grand Square with the opposition of Mars 4Virgo Rx (H5) opposing Neptune-Chiron in Pisces (H11).

Grand Square = Big Challenges.

And look what the Big Challenges were about:  Venus = Women.  Mars = Men, That's Mars Retrograde too.  Neptune = multiple bottles of Vodka the night before.  Chiron = problems you can't fix.  It's all happening in the Houses that rule Resources. 

Obama's got Mars in Virgo in his natal so this is an extra special Mars Return for him. 

Girlfriend took her argument across the hall and had a consult with her friend who called on all the other 20 friends. The other guys pulling out their pockets to pay off the $800 debt, I think they compensated almost $300 in the end.  The ladies threatened to call the police.  The Secret Service said O Don't Do That..  But yes the police were called.  The police were called on the Secret Service of the United States of America who were in town to prepare for the President's arrival.

Wow, if walls could talk.  Actually, the walls in this place were probably so bugged at that point considering the place had just been cleared and prepared for President's visit that all of this is probably caught on tape.  Or maybe someone thought of that beforehand at least.

Oh yeah, Moon was within one degree conjunction with Pluto in Capricorn in the 9th House.  Security issues over Seas.  O hey, A little failure just puts hair on your chest.  These guys who just got fired should just start going to AA meetings right now right soon because that aspect doesn't have a whole lot of bounce, especially with Sun in the 12th House opposing Saturn in the 6th House of, eh, S-E-R-V-I-C-E.

Obama isn't taking this seriously.  Prostitution is legal in Columbia so that was the first argument of defense.  Nobody from any other country is going to take it seriously because women are basically heifers that need to be herded. The media doesn't even seem to be into it.  No interesting angles or anything.  They aren't even showing pictures of the secret service.  The single mom is speaking because this is her 15 minutes but who wants to watch?  Pluto in Cap, we're tired.  We don't want to have to raise her kid too.  Anyways we're banding into our own little secret societies which exclude you and yours.

Good thing is that at least these guys, the Secret Service of the US of A, are lovers and not killers.  Make Love.  Not War.  Idea being:  War doesn't happen if you get paid for your Love. Just ask the Chinese.  They turned Tibet into a Casino.

Who's Zoomin Who? Hypersonic Airplanes, Meteors and North Korea

Just read an article on Yahoo about a spacecraft which was launched off the coast of Central California last August.  This thing reaches top speed of MACH 20.  It fell into the Pacific Ocean after only 9 minutes of flight.  That's not so bad if you realize that it was created to blast around the World in less than an hour.  It would only take 12 minutes to jet from L.A. to New York.

What really attracted me to today's story was the factoid that it flew so quickly it flew right out of its skin.  Made me wonder what was going on with Saturn and Capricorn in the chart.  Those are the astro rulers of the skin.

http://www.darpa.mil/Our_Work/TTO/Programs/Falcon_HTV-2.aspx

I can't find an exact launch time.  Someone who blogged about it wrote at 2:49 pm that it had launched roughly 3 hours before time of writing.  At 2:49 pm Saturn would have just passed over the Ascendant (Skin on Face(H1)). Saturn was maybe emphasized because unaspected by major aspect to major planets.

Sun 19 Leo;  Moon 26 Capricorn (approx);  Ascendant maybe Libra;  MC Cancer or Leo;  NN 21 Sagittarius Rx

Lots of Saturn-Capricorn-H10 in the potential chart.

Moon in Saturn's sign.  All falls down with that one.

And up in Saturn's House 1 the Sun was conjunct Venus in Leo at 18-19 Leo.  Good time for a chemical peel on the face.

So, and yeah, look at that Mercury Rx at 29 Leo.  It seems that blast offs into Outer Space don't give a hairy fig about Mercury Rx but I think that the folks at DARPA (don't have a clue what that stands for) ought to pay attention to Mercury Rx.

Supposedly this is the 2d test launch for this Hypersonic aircraft.  The first one was launched in 2010 and I can't get the info straight.  The current news says that it also landed in the Pacific Ocean after a 9 minute flight. But, other articles say that it dropped into the ocean at 4:21 BST (British Summer time, I think that's 8:21 PDT time but can't vouch for it).  These reports say that it had a flight lasting 36 minutes which doesn't make sense because it would have been halfway around the world by then.

Mercury was also Retrograde on that day at 12 Taurus.

HTV-1 Falcon Hypersonic
missing Apr. 22, 2010  4:21 pm BST, or maybe 8:21 am PDT 
so launch would have been either 9 or 36 minutes earlier.


Sun 3 Taurus;  Moon 14 Leo;  NN 16 Capricorn

Yesterday morning there was a bright flashing light and sonic boom which was heard-seen-felt all over California at around 8:00 am. I'm just going to be a conspiracy theorist here and wondering if maybe they are related?  You didn't hear it from me.

This flight had a big outer planetary lineup.  Jupiter was conjunct Uranus in Pisces (sorry I didn't write down the degrees) and opposing Saturn 30 Virgo.  

Big Boom in California, unexplained phenomena, they say it's a meteor

Great aspects for a meteor huh? Moon conjunct Jupiter in Taurus just passed over the Ascendant. That's like a big f@art, but you didn't hear that from me. Just happens to have been perceived out there near Area 51.  But you didn't hear that from me.    

And North Korea made good use of that Mercury-Uranus conjunction in Aries and Saturn to threaten to pulverize South Korea.   Scary.  Wish that hadn't really happened.
