I'm Looking Over a Four Leaf Clover....

If I could do pictures today I'd add a photo of Ben Bernanke dressed up in Green like a Leprechaun. He's trying so hard not to get pinched and in this Red Economy I can only wish him the best, poor boy.

St. Patrick was a 5th Century Christian guy who drove the Druids out of Ireland. We don't know his Birth date but Wikipedia says he was born around 478 AD. That's an interesting Outer Planet time period because it's got Neptune in Libra and Pluto in Leo just like most of the people walking around on the earth who are in their 50's right now.

St. Patrick's Day, March 17, is thought to be St. Pat's Death Day, may He Rest In Peace. The 1st St. Patrick's Day was celebrated publicly in Ireland in 1903 and this chart is super fun to look at from a Kegger's point of view:

St. Patrick's Day
Mar. 17, 1903, Dublin, Ireland

Sun 26 Pisces; Moon Scorpio; NN 16 Libra

Overall Water is predominant in the Chart of this Holy Roman Elixer Fest. Pisces is the Sign of Addiction. Scorpio is the sign of the Designated Driver. Cancer is the sign of the Slob who is clinging to his Bar Stool. And you can always throw a couple of Sagittarians in there because they'll always have another one just to Celebrate.

1903 was after the potato famine, wasn't it? Anyway, as far as drinking charts go this one could only be found at the end of a Rainbow.

Here we have Sun in Pisces both dispositing to and squaring Neptune at 1 Cancer (Aries Point, public slobbering and drunkenness). Neptune is opposing Uranus in Sagittarius too so we have a very Merry Sun-Uranus-Neptune t-square.

Neptune here is trining a conjunction of Mercury (communication) and Jupiter (higher communication) in Pisces certainly bestows the Gift of Gab in all its inebriated glory. This accounts for the singing of the songs and the babbling from under the tables.

This chart has no planets in Earth because we need to dispense with The Reality on this date. We don't want any controlling Capricorns or Virgos who are counting The Drinks. The Tauruses can stay because they're generally easy-going and have remarkably strong tolerance for beer. Are they drunk? Or can they drive us home? You can't tell. Keep em.

Mars here is conjunct the North Node in Libra. The Goal here is to find someone else and talk his head off.

Libra North Nodes need to learn Diplomacy and Balanced Behaviors in life and what better way to learn this lesson real quick than to stick the Ruler of its error seeking South Node right on top of it?

By the end of the evening everyone will have whole heartedly learned how impulsive and totally lacking they are in Diplomacy and Balanced Behavior.

By the end of the evening the Police may have a different idea of how balanced you can walk that line. Mars here is trining Saturn in Aquarius on one side and trining Pluto on the other side. That's good for a nice healthy Bar Fight towards the end o' the Day. And the Police Officer may actually be as drunk as you are. Trines can bring this kind of Luck.

The Mayor of Dublin eventually decided to close the Pubs down on the 18th in order to give the Blarney some time to wear off.
