Stimulus

Stimulus ought to be a word exclusively used for Sex. But, alas, the 8th House doesn't differentiate between Sex, Death and Taxes. We're not talking about Enthusiasm. Plutonians don't inspire. We're talking about selfish desire. At any rate, Investment managers are killing themselves, parents are killing their entire families. Bernie Madoff couldn't care less as is the way with Sociopaths, another Plutonian pop-up that we all possess mostly to a lesser degree. Hey, your Devil May Care attitude created your best memories. Admit it.

This sounds like some good old 8th House stuff. And some single woman just gave birth to 8 artificially inseminated babies to go along with the 6 she already has. That's not Plutonian, more like a Lunar Whack Job, but for some reason I just mentioned it. Maybe because it's being connected with Obsessive Compulsive disorder in the media.

When things go wrong with things 8th House how does one fix them? How does one Stimulate the house that is considered the most Stimulating? What do we do when we've lost our Mojo? For one, the Astronomers have got to bring back Pluto. I've said it before and I'll say it again. Pluto was discovered in 1930, spun around in the limelight for 70 something years until the Astronomers pulled it off the shelf. Big mistake. Big one. I think they did that in August, 2007 right when the Financial Crisis began, didn't they? Really mysterious how this stuff works.

Obama's got some plans to fix the economy and I've listened to a few comments about whether they'll work or not. The infrastructure and a list of other stuff. Tourism is big on the list, that's weird. Somebody's gonna hafta come up with yet another Disneyland. Ho Hum. Not another Matterhorn. Perhaps a lost in Space type of situation where we send people out into orb and then don't tell them that they can't return. Just a polite "Bah Bye." Brutal Pluto in Capricorn type of stuff. I guess if we can't fix things it's because we're just thrashed. We'll have to coast in eternal gargoyle poverty for the next 10 years.

One commentator on NPR (don't remember name) mentioned that the 30s Depression Stimulus plans which are the ones that Obama is copying actually didn't help anything. Unemployment in 1939 was just as bad as unemployment in 1933. (If I heard this correctly) He said that the way that the economy is Stimulated is by helping the Corporations to get back on their feet. This was done by Kennedy and by Reagan. That sounds more correct by Astro Standards because this sort of feeds our Inner Hookers I suppose. I don't know anything about what was done during those times, but since one was done by a Democrat and one by a Republican I sort of figure there might be some sensibility in what the commentator said. No one mentioned what Clinton did. That's odd since he actually left the Country with a surplus. Clinton and Gore are Fire Signs and Fire works on enthusiasm... Kennedy and Reagan were Air Signs. That's only Sun Sign stuff but amazing how much info that stuff gives when you're feeling too lazy to look up the charts.

Either way, Corporations are definitely 8th House entities so it seems that this would work for a Stimulus plan. Corporations are kind of like legalized Prostitution. They don't really pay taxes but they do hire a lot of people. I suppose I should suggest legalized Pot but the stuff makes me so damn sick I can't help you slobs out with that.

Clinton raised Taxes but I believe the others lowered Taxes. Taxes are also a Stimulus.

I wonder how many of the Prozac generation are having Sex. Seems that stuff let the air out of a lot of jets with the old lowered libido stuff. We've pissed it all into the ocean and the fish aren't even having Sex anymore. And, of course, I never really thought the Pluto in Virgos and Pluto in Libras were that into it anyway. More like we just like to watch. Well, the Pluto in Scorpios may be able to get things back on track. Perhaps...

To end, I'll add famous quotes from Kennedy and Reagan. I'm probably remembering them incorrectly but we really need to be hearing words like these. I'm sure there are more:

First of all from FDR, words for Depression:

"There's nothing to fear, but fear itself."

Wikiquote is fascinating for Kennedy.

I found this:

"The problems of the world cannot possibly be solved by skeptics or cynics whose horizons are limited by the obvious realities. We need men who can dream of things that never were and ask "why not?"-- Speech delivered to the Dail (Parliament of Ireland), June 28th, 1963

Right after that I found this:

"A wall [is] a hell of a lot better than war. Upon hearing about the construction of the Berlin Wall."

Then I found Reagan's famous quote:

"Mr. Gorbachev, tear down that wall."

Wall imagery is coming up a lot for me lately. Must be the Mars-Saturn-Pluto transits I'm going through. More on that later, hopefully. Anyway, building walls and tearing them down is probably a very Plutonian type of cycle, well, the tearing down part at any rate.
