Tell Them We're From Venus

As part of my Sun transiting in 12th house celebration, I subconsciously stumbled onto the name of the first guy to claim he saw a UFO. His name is:

Kenneth Arnold
b. March 29, 1915 Sebeka, MN

Sun 8 Aries; Moon probably in Virgo; NN 26 Aquarius

Mr. Arnold was a pilot and businessman who was flying over Mt. Rainier in Washington when he saw what looked like a string of wing shaped crescents out floating around in the sky. At least two other people claimed to have seen a similar sight. A miner actually reported it on the same day. Mr. Arnold was believable because he was a pilot and a businessman (isn't that funny? why do we tend to think that businessmen are credible?).

Arnold's got an Aries Sun, unaspected. Aries is the first sign of the Zodiac so he was bound to be the first to do something in his life. This is especially true in Arnold's case, as both Uranus in Aquarius and Neptune in Cancer are also unaspected (by Ptolomaic aspect). With all that outer planet energy bound up and raring to go, it's no wonder he was 1st to be chosen. In addition, his Sun is a Singleton in Fire and his Moon is a singleton in Earth.

Arnold's North Node is in Aquarius conjunct Venus. Can't think of any better manifestation of that aspect but to get friendly with the aliens. Actually, aliens, according to Rex Bills, are represented by Neptune and Jupiter. He doesn't specify "legal" or "illegal" or from Up-Down direction as opposed to North-South-East-West. Is it all handled the same by the Border Patrol?

The time of this sighting: June 24, 1947 2:55pm Mineral, Washington

Neptune was at 9 Libra, within one degree opposition to Mr. Arnold's Sun. Natally he had a conjunction of Mercury-Jupiter-Mars and Chiron in Pisces, all 4 disposit to Neptune. And as I mentioned before, his Neptune is unaspected in his chart. Was he "disposed" to having hallucinations?

Transiting Pluto was almost opposing his n.Uranus with Saturn 4 degrees behind it. That can bring an earth shattering event or series of events that breaks apart one's sense of reality.

Natally, Arnold's Pluto is at 1 Cancer is conjunct Saturn at 27 Gemini. Progressed Sun and Mercury, which were at 8-9 Taurus were squaring this conjunction. In 1947, Saturn and Pluto were again close to conjunction in Leo. They are on the MC of the Siting Chart, Pluto rules this chart and is conjunct the MC to the degree. Arnold's progressed Sun and Mercury were conjunct the Descendant of the Siting Chart. With Neptune opposing his Sun and Saturn and Pluto so strongly hooking him into this event, it's difficult to interpret whether this siting could have been reality or fantasy.

There were multiple sitings of UFOs in Washington at that point. One guy, Samuel Eaton Thompson claimed to have come across a UFO while walking in the woods in Centralia on Mar. 28, 1950. He claimed to have spent 40 hours with the aliens who claimed that the reason why humans can't get along is due to Astrology. They said we can't get along because we have too many signs. These particular aliens were all from Venus, therefore they were all ruled by Venus and henceforth they all thought alike. They were also vegetarians. I've known a lot of Venusian vegetarians in my day and it's true, they do not fight but they do put on some mighty feisty peace rallies. And I'm sure they were very rare during Thompson's time.

Well, in honor of World Peace, I think I'll be off now to write my new astrological Manifesto for the Earthians.
