Mount Redoubt

I've babbled a couple of times on this blog about how there may be a connection between Saturn and Uranus transits and the concepts of Doubt and Certainty. It seems that I keep seeing affirmations of this out in the Real World. I'm looking for it, of course, which make the difference.

There's the Meryl Streep movie called Doubt. It's about a mean Catholic nun so I don't know if anyone's gone to see it except maybe Mel Gibson. That really great actor, forgot his name (He's a Leo), plays a nice priest who is accused of molesting a kid (have only seen the trailers). The trial of "Blog of Chicag" (heard him called that by Renee Terwilliger on David Letterman last night) brought up a whole lot of personal questions I have about how the Judicial System likes to override the concept of "innocent until proven guilty" and "beyond a shadow of a doubt". It seems that people with cruddy personalities are automatically guilty. I'm remembering how Eliot Spitzer was also kicked out in this way after having fought the big drug companies regarding antidepressents and suicide. And my old best boyfriend Al Gore fought the cigarette companies and won and then lost the election for President and History fell apart.

So, there's some Gemini Rising rambles and anxieties for you. Where was I?

What this all boils down to at this point, after a few leaps of mental gymnastics, is earthquakes. I've been waiting for them patiently. The scientists say they're coming. The astrology is looking awesome. The government isn't pushing to educate people about what to do in the event of .... it's looking like an awesome set-up for a Big Un.

And so I forgot about Volcanoes. We need an explosion to spew crap into the atmosphere. I think I heard that it will protect us from Global Warming. So there's a Mountain getting ready to blow any time now up in Alaska.

As far as Astroblab goes, and nobody's read this far, the connection with this particular Volcano and Saturn-Uranus is kind of fun. First of all, the Volcano is called Mount Redoubt. So the Saturn-Uranus connection is built right in to the name (according to me). And, because of this curiosity, I looked on the Wikipedia to see if the eruptions in the past were connected with Saturn-Uranus, and, yes Edna, they seem to certainly god damned be.

Here's the Wiki link:

Here are the years and dates when available. (I don't think I'm making this up.) It looks like Jupiter and Pluto are part of the dance as well. The explosions go on for months at a time which seems to indicate outer planet transits at any rate. Uranus seems to enjoy being in Mutable Signs. Saturn is in Capricorn for two of the eruptions:

1881: East of Redoubt, not explosion from out of the mountain:

Jupiter conjunct Saturn in Aries. Uranus in Virgo.

beginning of year there was a conjunction of Jupiter-Saturn in Aries. Uranus 12 Virgo. Pluto end of Taurus so Jupiter would have been widely in conjunction towards the end of the year.

Jan. 18, 1902 to June 21, 1902:

Saturn conjunct Jupiter in Capricorn. Uranus in Sagittarius. Uranus disposits to Jupiter.

On date of 1st eruption SAturn 20 Capricorn conjunct Jupiter 26 Capricorn & Sun 28 Capricorn.
Not directly related to Uranus 20 Sagittarius. But, Uranus disposits to Jupiter which is conjunct Saturn. Uranus is also opposing Pluto 17 Gemini.

1966-68:

Saturn in Pisces opposing Uranus in Virgo. Uranus conjunct Pluto and squared by Jupiter at some point.

Dec. 15, 1989 and continues popping for 5 months:

Saturn conjunct Uranus in Capricorn.

Uranus 5 Capricorn conjunct Neptune 12 Capricorn & Saturn 14 Capricorn opposing Jupiter 8 Cancer. Saturn sextile Pluto 17 Scorpio.

Jan. 30, 2009: will blow anytime now:

Saturn in Virgo opposing Uranus in Pisces.

Wikipedia states other times when smoke was thought to have come out but questions whether these were eruptions: Summer 1778, 1819, 1933, 2003.
