U.S. Supreme Court Decisions This Week
The judges of the U.S. Supreme Court announced all kinds of momentous Decisions this week. That's good. I think I heard some reporter being interviewed recently on TV who was complaining about how we're having such a slow news year. Anything slow is ruled by Saturn and Capricorn and that's maybe how we'll feel about things while Pluto is in Capricorn which is a very long transit.
Anyway, everything was so over reported and hyped out while Pluto was in Sagittarius that I think everyone is saying that no news is good news.
And, as it turns out, Judges are ruled by Saturn and so are Decisions. And Pluto (Power, Fame) is in Capricorn which indicates that all kinds of difficult decisions are about to be made. Or maybe it means that the upper echelon makes all the decisions because they are using crowd control methods to control the rest of us. Pluto in Sagittarius was more about being presented with Choices. Everyone felt lucky. Once the Luck runs out we return to Black and White thinking I guess.
Where were we? Oh Yeah, Capricorn's ruler, Saturn, is still in Libra and Libra is the planet of Justice and Fairness. Justice is a Lady who holds a sword. Often she is portrayed with her eyes bound so that she can swing at you blind folded. That's just plain scary. Libra is probably the first sign on the Wheel which naturally recommends Fairness and Balance in human relationships. Gemini and Virgo will insult and criticize your selfishness but they can't really get any distance from the matter. Libra just naturally knows. Considering the blind fold/sword combination I guess you had better "Know" as well. Libra is aware of how he's making the other guy feel even in the ambulance on the way to the hospital to get your arm sewed back on.
Taking things even further we notice that Venus, the ruler of Libra, Stationed Direct this week. Venus has a Retrograde period about once a year. This year's was more significant because Venus was passing in front of the Sun in a strange 8 year event that occurs about every 100-120 years (very rough estimate, I have no memory for these transits). Venus is in the sign of Gemini right now which likes to write up new rules, especially in conjunction with Jupiter and the Nodal Axis. In connection with the South Node, though, there might be a sense that things might not be moving in forward motion.
At any rate, It seems that the Judges on the bench did a really great job of trying to interpret the laws as one would expect with Saturn in Libra. Saturn is considered very well aspected in the sign of Libra, Gemini is great at all nine thousands sides of a topic as well. Air signs are great for positive expression of Intellect. I don't have any in my chart, that's why that last sentence came out all wrong.
The Sun this week was between 6 - 10 degrees Cancer which means that he was hooked in to the long term square between Uranus and Pluto. That's supposed to be earth shattering for starting a new phase. With Sun opposing Pluto it continues the big power struggle between the two political parties. With Uranus involved everyone is probably realizing that they want same thing for the country but won't admit it. Either way, Uranus and Pluto working together often work for creating big societal changes.
I don't have times for the actual announcements of the decisions so can't look at those charts. I believe that the Sun is ruling the noontime charts through its sign, Leo.
Another interesting transit is that Jupiter has just passed into Gemini at 4 degrees and was in conjunction with the Nodal Axis on the same degree. So he rules the Nodal Axis on both sides in a way. This puts emphasis on anything ruled by the Gemini/Sagittarius poles. A Venus-Jupiter-South Node Conjunction in Gemini at least gave the media a lot to talk about. They hated Scalia for talking about evil illegal immigration. They loved Roberts for voting for their side. They didn't mention the women Justices which is odd. I wish Scalia had mentioned gang stalking. Maybe that means that gang stalking really is connected with Homeland Security. I think Diabetics were suffering more than usual this week, probably eating too many bonbons waiting for Thursday's decision.
Either way, matters to the Gemini-Sagittarius pole were handled through the Decisions this week. On Monday, Arizona's Laws on how to handle illegal immigration were dealt with. Sagittarius rules international relations. Gemini rules what's going on in your neighborhood, who's grabbing you through your bathroom room or on the street or whistling in the middle of the night and then calling you a bigot the next day for mentioning it. All parts of the laws were put down as bigotry except for the most important one which gives police ability to ask for verification of citizenship if they feel it's necessary. That's my understanding of what happened, don't quote me because I'm chronically misinformed about politics. Police are service providers and so are ruled by Virgo. Both the Moon and Mars were in that sign on Monday.
Venus Stationed Direct on Tuesday. It was in conjunction with Jupiter and the South Node so the Diabetics and the Media were all passing out in comas waiting for Thursday's big decisions on Obamacare. They were all impatient and things about whether or not this will affect the upcoming Presidential election (that's Jupiter/Gemini influence). Wouldn't it have been cool if any of them had researched what it will do to consumers and providers of health care instead? With Jupiter in Gemini and Neptune in Pisces --- the person with the best smile wins so smoke lots of pot because they have the best smiles. I mean, what does this mean for medical research? What does this mean for my doctor? What does this mean for me? I'm pretty certain my healthcare is about to be cancelled. Anthem has set up their phone lines to make it impossible to talk with a customer associate or whatever they are called these days.
Again the Mars in Virgo placement is appropriate for Thursday's decision as Virgo rules Healthcare. Don't know what time the decision was announced but the Moon was in conjunction with Saturn 23 Libra during the morning. This was a win for the President, Chief Executive, how did he pull this off? The rest of us are just standing around with our thumbs up our butts wondering what it means and with Saturn moving into Scorpio I don't think it's going to be a fun transition period. Homeland Security is going to have to put out a Red Alert for Health Insurance companies.
On Friday the media was celebrating Chief Justice John Roberts as he crossed party lines in his decision. We got to see photos of him looking shiny toothed and relaxed rather than the usual big square headed Republican. Roberts is an Aquarius with Pisces Moon. That's same as Dick Cheney which is a funny, funny joke on Astrology and Democrats in the media. Anyway, Roberts has got a crappy t-square in his chart between Mercury-Saturn-Pluto which possibly trips him up in life and keeps him humble. He's also got a conjunction of Jupiter to Uranus in Cancer and which squares Neptune in Libra and trines Saturn in Scorpio. I don't really know what that means except that he probably just wants everyone to be happy because his Mother was probably singing songs from South Pacific and the King and I while she was pregnant with him and he grew up on a diet of Baloney and Wonder Bread.
On Friday Congress decided to give kids in College a break on their college tuition fees by not enforcing a doubled interest rate hike. And also decided to fund transportation projects. More of the Mercury-Jupiter Nodal Axis topics. The Moon was in Scorpio, sign which rules debt and borrowing and deciding wtf we're already broke give the kids a break school's not even worth it and fix the potholes in the road.
