Liar, Liar, Pants on Fire

NPR has the best stories. They force you to be curious about absolutely everyone's signs. Today I didn't even finish listening to the story about Marilee Jones, the former Dean of Admissions at MIT who had to resign because she had lied on her resume. She lied about where she got her Undergraduate Degree and then she lied about getting her post-doctoral degrees. Dr. Marilee, Weeeee Roll Along.... This is so much better than the Paris Hilton Goes to Jail fiasco.

This is somebody who spent 28 years enforcing honesty on applications to one of the most respected schools on the planets. I mean, I never applied to MIT, with my spelling I couldn't even think of asking for an application.. but, man, this woman wrote a book: "Less Stress, More Success: A New Approach to Guiding Your Teen Through College Admission & Beyond." Less Stress! Yeah, it's all good, Marilee! Did you include the Chapter on how to fill out the forms while letting your imagination run completely wild?

Ha! Ha! So keep in mind: Rex Bills on Liars: Mercury, Pluto, Neptune. Here we go:

Marilee Jones
b. June 12, 1951 (not that this is the correct birth date, or anything)
I couldn't find a birth place so I'm using Concord, Mass because that's where she lives now, in a beautiful, big house no doubt that she can afford on a Dr.'s pay scale.

Sun 21 Gemini; Moon probably Virgo; NN Pisces

Bingo. Sun and Moon both ruled by Mercury. North Node ruled by Neptune. So NPR is having a debate about should minor indiscretions that one makes whilst still a youth be held against one later in life? Makes one wonder about how to get a job at NPR but you didn't hear that from me. I mean, should the mistakes that one makes during one's 1st Saturn Return be held against one right before one's 2d Saturn Return? Haaaallleee, yes. It's Saturn, it's not Neptune. You wanna lie and get away with it choose a Jupiter Return or a Neptune transit.

Jones' Sun is conjunct Mars in Gemini. Mars is squaring her NN showing that her impulsive side might somehow influence her Fate. It also means that she has a lot of really positive energy to direct at kids, gotta give her that. And actually her whole chart shows a lot of talent for coaching kids. And she was hired for her talent. Makes you wonder how important the credentials are in the end anyway.

Jones' Sun-Mars conjunction is squaring her Saturn and maybe Moon showing that her ambitious side could take over at times, she could even be a little aggressive but very organized. She says that she never admitted to her self-described "bad choice" to lie on her resume because she never had the courage. Well, according to Rex, "Courage" is ruled by Mars, Aries and "Cowards" are ruled by Saturn. With Sun c. Mars, she doesn't lack Courage; she's actually quite bold. But, man, that square from Saturn sure does bring in the Coward element, doesn't it? She has the courage to be a coward. Something to skip down the Yellow Brick Road about while on the way to see the Wizard. He give the real shit out and then returns you to Kansas for free.

Jones took her beginning Administrative Assistant job with MIT in 1979. This would have been her Saturn Return. Also around the time of her Progressed Moon Return. Saturn Returns are the times that you make your first big decision in life. If it's a bad decision you hear about it right around the time of your second Saturn Return. Jones is about 2 years away from her Second Saturn Return. When I heard that she had been at her job for 28 years I was hoping that the timing would work out a little more precisely, but, oh well. The progressed Moon return is in there sometime too, maybe more influential in this case but without a birth time, well, you know the drill.

Her chart shape is a bowl figure bounded by Jupiter in Aries opposite Neptune in Libra. She certainly would have been concerned about the stress levels of others. In 1979, t. Pluto was conjunct her natal Neptune and just leaving the Bowl Shape. It was also trining her Sun-Mars conjunction and opposing her natal Jupiter. Luck and Power were just falling into her lap if she just covered up her lack of credentials. Credentials = Mercury, Jupiter, Neptune. Interesting that Jupiter and Neptune bound the bowl figure and a bowl figure person has problems with feelings of Lack. And, actually, her progressed Mercury was conjunct her natal Venus and trining her Natal Jupiter. Saturn, Neptune and Uranus were all in aspect to her Sun-Mars putting a lot of energy into that aggressive combination that might have a tendency to tell a tale tale (Gemini). Some people are just born to write resumes, I tell ya.

In 2001 she received MIT's Excellence Award for Leading Change. The Saturn-Pluto opposition smack dab on her Sun-Mars in Gemini. Just saw in Rex Bills that Saturn and Pluto together rule Decadence.

Jones received national media attention for her book in 2006 and resigned from her job on Apr. 23, 2007.

It's now Time to look at her Chiron (Wounded Teacher). She has it at 1 Capricorn, an Aries Point. This brings all things related to Capricorn out before the public. Management Ability, Ambition, cowardice or whatever you call it, etc. T. Pluto is conjunct n. Chiron from the other side of the cusp in Sagg (Higher Education). T. Saturn is conjunct her n. Pluto at 18 Leo by a degree and her progressed Sun is approaching conjunction from 15 Leo. Transiting Neptune and Chiron are opposing this combination from Aquarius. And transiting Uranus is conjunct her Nodal Return in Pisces (more Neptune). Her Fate is now bound up with the negative side of that Nodal Placement.

So, anyway, she's getting off pretty much. I mean, Paris Hilton is going to jail for 45 days to be brutality raped, mugged and murdered by every low life in LA. And she didn't even hit a tree. She was probably driving erratically because the policemen were stalking her because it's fun to stalk pretty rich women. And this lady, she's going into retirement a couple of years early in her big, happy home. She'll probably write a book about Courage and what happens when you have Lack of it. Eeeesh, the world. Decadence, there's a Saturn-Pluto trine right now. And Jupiter is there. And Neptune is trining. And the Wizard is just a little guy behind the curtain who's found a great gig in the Emerald City.
