Murders at Jupiter Returns?

There was a Total Lunar Eclipse on Dec. 10 which looked pretty violent. Total Lunar Eclipses are like Full Moons gorked out on steroids because the Sun-Moon opposition is in conjunction with the Nodal Axis. In this particular Eclipse, the planet Mars was squaring the opposition from the sign of Virgo. Mars = Aggression and Violence, along with many more pleasant characteristics.

Moon-Mars squares tend to be times of emotional volatility because the Moon = Emotional Receptivity and squares indicates two planets that "challenge" each other.

Virgo rules Service, Jobs, Public Health, and a host of other things. Don't know if this has anything to do with anything but the progressed chart of the U.S. is currently going Retrograde (in Libra) so Mars Retrogrades may play require even more attention now than they did in the past. In early Libra, the U.S. Prog. Mars is going to be under stress no matter from the outer planets Uranus and Pluto (and last year Jupiter and Saturn.

And it seems that there have been several instances of violent behaviors which occurred on or around New Year's Eve. I have a birthday for only two of the perpetrators of the crimes and for none of the victims so I can only wonder at this point what was going on in their charts. What is interesting is how so many were the same age. Age 24 or 25 so they would have been born around 1987. Three of the stories involve ex-military personnel and one involves an arsonist. That makes sense as Mars rules fire and soldiers. Virgo rules Service.

Mars will be transiting through Virgo for a very long time because it will turn retrograde for about 6 months (I haven't looked up exact amount of time). Mars Retrogrades involve an opposition to the Sun which will occur in this case when the Sun hits Pisces in February or March. This is called a "Synodic Cycle" of Mars. The gang stalkers are going strong, that's for sure. They are not getting caught so terrorism is definitely the way to go. Mark Zuckerberg, the CEO of Facebook, has a natal Sun-Mars opposition and he just put Facebook public so Facebook now also is "born" under this cycle.

It's good to remember that there was a Sun-Pluto conjunction in Capricorn on New Year's Eve which occurred this year and last year and will actually occur on every New Year's up until about 2018. Make sure there are a bunch of Scorpio Suns at your New Year's parties and make sure they are having a very, very good time and you will be okay. They make really good designated drivers because they can drive whilst unbelievably drunk, but don't tell anyone I said that, especially not them, they have too much confidence sometimes and you'll be bailing them out of jail on New Year's Day.

This would mean that the most recent planetary cycle completed by this age group of people is the 2d Jupiter Return. The kids this age were also born right before the big conjunction of Saturn-Uranus and Neptune that occurred around 1988-89. I think there was something called a Grand Concordance or something which everyone went to New Mexico for back in 1987. I went the day after just by coincidence. So, something was up when these kids were born. There was a Recession in there at some point as well, maybe it came a little bit later.

Jupiter has been on the fence between the signs of Aries and Taurus and has been opposing Saturn in Libra. It seems that 2 of the individuals involved were already going through their first divorce as well so were under a lot of stress. As I publish this it is firmly in Taurus at 4 degrees.

I noticed that while Saturn ruled the East Coast Chart for the December 10 Total Lunar Eclipse, Jupiter ruled the West Coast chart. And, amazingly, all the events I'm looking up involved West Coast. There's been a rash (sp?) of school teachers getting arrested for child molestation in California as well.

Arsonist begins setting fires in Car Ports in Hollywood, CA. on Dec. 30, 2011. The fires stop after Harry Burkhart was arrested on I believe Jan. 2, 2012. He is Age 24 and according to a website was born on July 12, 1987 in Chechnya. His rage was triggered by the arrest of his Mother. He also said he hates America. They always do. Both Mother and Son are German Nationals who had been living in Los Angeles for 3 months.

Iraq War Veteran Benjamin Colton Barnes then shot 4 people at a New Year's Eve party up in Washington with one other person. He is also Age 24. He was going through a divorce and custody fight and supposedly has a long history of problematic behavior. Barnes was apparently was not a combat soldier and was discharged from the army early for bad behavior. Colton shot and killed Park Ranger Margaret Anderson on New Year's Day at 10:20 am in Olympia National Park. Anderson was Age 34. May she rest in Peace.

Then in Coronado, San Diego, CA, there was a Triple Murder-Suicide among Navy Pilots. John Robert Reeves, Age 25, committed Suicide. It is now thought that he murdered David Reis, Age 25 and his sister Karen Reis, Age 24 along with Matthew Christopher Saturley, Age 31.

The shots were heard on Jan 1, 2011 at 2:20 am Coronado, CA Scorpio was rising at this time.

Then in Orange County, Southern California, another Veteran, Itzcoatl Ocampo, stabbed 4 homeless people to death before he was caught. He has now also been charged with the stabbing death of the Mother and Brother of a high school friend. Ocampo had also been discharged from the army for bad conduct, like Benjamin Colton Barnes up in Washington. His family said that he had been acting strangely ever since coming home.

Birth date I found:

Itzcoatl Ocampo
b. Mar 20, 1988, Mexico

Sun 1 Aries; Moon Leo or Virgo; NN 23 Pisces Rx

Ocampo has been going through his Jupiter Return at 5 Taurus. This is extra strong for him because his progressed Sun is exactly conjunct his natal Jupiter right now. Natal Sun at 1 Aries is on the Aries Point and, so has been heavily afflicted over the last year by the big outer planet t-square of Saturn-Uranus-Pluto-Jupiter in a way which brings him before the public, unfortunately not for a good reason. Ocampo's natal and progressed Suns are both heavily afflicted by lots of difficult aspects. Natal Sun is squaring Neptune-Saturn-Uranus in Capricorn and is inconjunct Pluto in Scorpio and is possibly apex of a Yod to Pluto in Scorpio and Moon in Virgo. The Progressed Chart shows p. Sun c. p. Mercury and squaring p. Mars 11 Aquarius and opposing n./p. Pluto.

Wow, Jupiter in Taurus. Who knew? Well, with an opposition to Pluto in Scorpio these kids are going to be feeling the Economic pains extra hard. Taurus and Pluto are the money signs.

New Year's Babies: Identical Twins Born a Year Apart!

Don't know if this is typical or not. I've certainly never read a story like it.

Three sets of twins were born in the U.S. over the New Year's Eve celebrations, but one was born on Dec. 31, 2011 and the second one was born on January 1, 2012. Born minutes apart but with a year between them.

There are some astrological reasons for why this might have occurred this year.

First there was a strong and fortunate Sun-Pluto in Capricorn conjunction trining Jupiter in Taurus in all these charts. A Sun-Pluto conjunction in Capricorn is a strong personality and Sun-Pluto-Jupiter combinations can bring success in life as long as the owners also have discipline. Most of these babies will have Saturn in their first houses so they will take on responsibility. They will also be talented musicians with good rhythm.

Most of these babies have Libra Rising with Moon in Aries in Libra's House 7. So they are born with a natural need for a partner which is great when you're born with a twin.

Their Moons are all widely conjunct Uranus at 1 Aries. That shows the unusual stories around their births. They will also manage to be very unique individuals on their own as Uranus likes to do things differently.

In Buffalo, NY, Ronan Rosputni was born at 11:37 pm on Dec. 31. His sister Rory was born at 12:10 am. They're Irish which explains such a good luck story. Boy, they will have the gift of gab with that Mercury-NN conjunction in Sagittarius!

Ronan has ASC 1 Libra; Sun 11 Capricorn (H4); Moon 10 Aries (H7)

Rory has ASC 7 Libra; Sun 11 Capricorn (H4); Moon 10 Aries (H7)

Next, in Tampa, Florida, Jenna Bear was born at 11:59 pm on Dec. 31, 2011 and her sister Leah Bear was born right at 12:00 am, 2012. Two little Cinderellas.

Jenna has 3 Libra ASC; Sun 11 Capricorn (H4); Moon 10 Aries (H7)

Leah has 3 Libra ASC; Sun 11 Capricorn (H4); Moon 10 Aries (H7)

And last but not least, well, actually first before the others I just wrote it down this way: Beckett Humenny was born at 6:40 pm on Dec. 31, 2011. And his sister, Freya, was born at 12:26 on Jan. 1, 2012.

Beckett was born with 5 Leo Rising; Sun 10 Capricorn (H6); Moon 8 Aries (H9)

Freya was born with 11 Libra Rising; Sun 11 Capricorn (H3); Moon 11 Aries (H7)

Playing the Lotto with Delma Kinney

According to a Huffington Post article, two time Lottery Winner Delma Kinney is a Sadge.

Sagittarius is ruled by Jupiter. And Jupiter is the Planet of Luck. And in the last few weeks Jupiter in Taurus (money) has been in trine aspect with Pluto (other people's money). Last week the two have been connected in a Super Lucky Grand Trine aspect with Mars in Virgo.

Lucky Grand Trine? No-o-oo-ooo Kidding?!!!!

This guy is showing us how it is done.

The articles don't seem to give a specific date for Kinney's wins. Last week, Kinney was at the Chevron Mini Mart buying cold medicine when he bought his happy ticket (natal Mercury in Scorpio in mutual reception with Pluto in Virgo).

Why can't we ever see the security footage for events like this? Video of some Sadge buying his second Million $$$ Lottery Ticket ... along with Date/Time stamp for proper Astroblab?!!!

Either way, looks like it was last week or the week before. Previous Win was in 2008.

Looks like Mr. Kinney will celebrate his 51st Birthday this week so he's under the influence of His Sagittarius Solar Return. He would have been 48 years old in 2008. (Wait, since his Birthday is so late in the year I may not have calculated the math correctly.)

Playing around with the idea of "What Planetary Cycle are You Currently Under the Influence Of?" we note that in 2008 it could possibly have been Kinney's Jupiter Return, or just after.

Now, at the big 5-0- Kinney is under the influence of his Chiron Return. They say that when you turn 50, you become a Golden Oldie. This guy is certainly rolling in the Gold.

Kind of interesting how the articles state that Kinney put money away to pay for his kids' education with the first win. Jupiter rules higher education. Now, he tends to give some money to charity. Chiron Returnish. Kinney is a single Father of 3 kids (but probably not for very long.)

Delma Kinney, two time Million Dollar Instant Lottery Winner
b. maybe Dec. 5, 1960 (don't know where, he is now in Atlanta, GA)

Sun 14 Sagittarius; Moon Cancer; NN 11 Virgo Rx

The Astrology is just much for me to handle. Kinney has an exact natal trine between Jupiter 9 Capricorn and Pluto-NN at 9 Virgo-11 Virgo. Those two planets bring success when they work together.

Kinney's natal trine of Jupiter to Pluto layers right over the transiting Earth Grand Trine of Mars at early Virgo to t.Pluto at 7 Capricorn and to t. Jupiter at 3 Taurus. And it gets even wilder than that because the Trine fans out into a Kite. Transiting Mars-n.Pluto-NN opposing t. Chiron 1 Pisces-Neptune 29 Aquarius-n. Chiron 28 Aquarius.

Also, connected with this Kite Axis figure is progressed Sun which is currently at 6 Aquarius.

AND also Kinney's Solar Arc Mars and maybe SA Moon are at 9 Virgo in conjunction with the transiting Mars and natal Pluto-NN. Kinney's natal Mars is Retrograde and Out of Bounds so it has exceptional powers. It's in Cancer maybe in conjunction with the Moon. Interesting configuration for a single Father of 3 to have. He probably likes to build swing sets and stuff. And he has psychic abilities. He could feel the vibe in that Chevron Mini Mart. He just knew he could manifest that Lucky Lotto one more time.

The astrology goes on and on. Natal Venus (Cash) is at 25 Capricorn c. natal Saturn 17 Capricorn opposing natal Mars 18 Cancer Rx.

Wish I had the date for the 2008 Win. At the end of 2007 Kinney would have had an extra long Mars Return because Mars went Retrograde over his natal Mars Rx. Right now his progressed Mars is on the Cancer Aries Point at 1 Cancer Rx.

At the end of 2007 there was a very lucky conjunction of Jupiter to Pluto at the end of Sagittarius.

Christchurch Earthquakes

Christchurch, New Zealand has suffered two serious earthquakes in the past 6 months. It looks like this place, known as the "Gateway to the Antarctic," is vulnerable to the Virgo/Pisces Axis. The first earthquake, 7.0, occurred last September when the Sun was at 12 Virgo. Today's earthquake logs Sun at 3 Pisces. Christchurch's Solar Arc Sun is at 14 Virgo, SA Uranus is at 25 Virgo. I found that interesting correlation with successive Solar Arc charts and earthquakes while studying the Parkfield earthquake series back whenever that was.

Christchurch's Nodal Axis is at a major Cardinal Point at 1 Libra (NN)-Aries (SN). I personally look for strong Cardinal sign tensions in earthquakes and this Axis has been going through major outer planet t-square transit of Saturn-Jupiter-Uranus-Pluto over the past year. Jupiter and Uranus have been passing together over this spot for almost a year at this point. And the Sun-Mars conjunction passing over Pluto-NN, Uranus and then Neptune-Chiron has been a pretty trigger happy set of transits.

Today's earthquake, an aftershock to September's quake, happened right in the middle of lunch hour with the Sun at 3 Pisces. This is one reason why it's done more damage. Also, it was a shallow earthquake which rattles things up more. The Christchurch cathedral has suffered major damage, which perhaps explains the strong Jupiter (Religion) and Neptune (Spiritual) transits of this earthquake.

First off, Christchurch is going through it's Neptune Return. Natal Neptune is a 2 Pisces. That's just for beginners. Pluto is in conjunction with the North Node right now so when doubled up with any other significant transit could bring some problems. And today's earthquake Pluto is exactly squaring earthquake (transiting) Jupiter. This Jupiter is conjunct Christchurch's natal Sun to the degree and is squaring natal Jupiter 12 Cancer.

Current reports say that there are about 65 dead and 100 unnaccounted for. I send my best thoughts to the suffering right now.

New Zealand Earthquake 7.0
Sept. 4, 2010 4:35 am (LT); (Sept. 3, 2010 16:35 UTC)

Sun 12 Virgo; ASC 20 Cancer; Moon 6 Cancer; MC 17 Taurus; NN

I wasted a bunch of time fiddling to see how the Eclipses might have contributed but my computer is set to calculate everything for New York time. There's a chance that the Sun-Moon conjunction of the July 10-11, 2010 Eclipse is conjunct the ASC of the September earthquake.

New Zealand Earthquake 6.3, Aftershock of Sept. 4, 2010 earthquake
Feb. 22, 2011 12:51 pm Lyttelton, New Zealand

Sun 3 Pisces (H10); Moon 25 Libra (H6); ASC 10 Taurus; MC 20 Aquarius; NN 30 Sagittarius (H10)

I suppose an earthquake which is considered an aftershock has different astrological indicators which will fine tune the charts. Don't have a clue what they would be.
--The Venus ruled Moon and Chart might be one.
--It looks like the IC/MC Taurus Axis is now the ASC/DESC Axis. That would make a lot of sense in Astro terms.

Christchurch, New Zealand given its name:

Mar. 27, 1848 Christchurch, New Zealand

Sun 7 Aries; Moon Sagittarius or Capricorn; NN 1 Libra

Jupiter 13 Cancer; Saturn 19 Pisces; Uranus 18 Aries; Neptune 2 Pisces; Pluto 26 Aries

"Toilet to Tap"

It's a Barnum and Bailey World, that's for sure. Here's a reason not to stop in Orange County to eat when driving through California. These folks are currently drinking their piss. They were bowled over by some engineer who "educated them" on how NASA Astronauts drink their own pee while in space and so they can too. So back in 2007 the County began to filter its sewer water in order to turn it into drinking water. They actually bought the pitch! I read about it in the Water issue of National Geographic.

Even if this were a good idea. Even if infrastructure didn't break down after multiple years of use. Even if employees were fully competent and didn't make any mistakes. This is still just bad design. Orange County is next to the ocean and if there's one thing they'll have plenty of in the future it's going to be Ocean Water. So, a desalination plant would make sense. NASA engineers don't have sea water in space, that's why they didn't develop the technology.

I remember once my brother came in from surfing and said that the French were installing panels out on the cliffs to try to trap the fog and turn it into water. The French are cool. The French are a little annoying but overall they always do nice things for us. They gave us the Statue of Liberty. They want to serve us liquid clouds to drink from off the shores of La Jolla.

This guy down in Orange County is creepy. He even admits that he wants to develop the process so he can sell it to the Arab countries who need it. Orange County is his cage of lab rats. This is just disgusting. I've had Salmonella. I almost died. There was even a story about an astronaut who got Salmonella on a space flight. NASA wouldn't say what was the cause so I was trying to figure out what the cause was through astrology. HaHa! Shit, in every sense of the word.

So I found a New York Times Article dated Nov. 27, 2007 which said that Orange County was going to start flushing the next Friday. (lost the link)

The chart is kaka:

"Toilet To Tap" Indirect Potable Water Reuse
Nov. 30, 2007 Fountain Valley, CA

Sun 9 Sagittarius; Moon 1 Virgo; NN 2 Pisces

The North Node was just about finished with his 1.5 year transit through the sign that rules Poison and Deception and Hidden Enemies. Good one, Orange County. Mercury, the planet of communicable diseases was squaring the Nodal Axis from 29 Scorpio. Scorpio is the other sign that rules poison. And there was a Moon-Saturn conjunction. It's in Virgo sign of Public Health, but it's on the South Node. Isn't Moon on the South Node one of the worst placements?

There's tons of outer planet stuff going on.

Of course, anything goes at the County Water Department during a mutual reception between Uranus and Neptune. Just try taking a shower or washing your clothes in the Silicon Valley.

Jupiter Conjunct Pluto in Sagittarius. Success!!! Irrational Exuberance. The same people who bought 700,000 mortgages off a 15,000 year income are now drinking their neighbor's pee.

Jupiter at 26 degrees (Galactic Center) and Pluto at 29 degrees (Aries Point). Orange County victimized by people halfway across the globe who are so scared of their own shit they only use their left hands for wiping.

The Saturn-Uranus opposition (man made) was just forming. And the Sun was squaring it. Hubris?

The real clinker is Mars. Mars is placed in its fall in the sign of Cancer, Hearth and Home. Mars is Retrograde. Mars is out of bounds. Mars is lead planet in a Locomotive chart. That's some gnarly fire water you're brewing down there, Orange County.

Progressed Mars comes out of retrograde for this chart around the year 2068. Wonder what that means.

Native American "Scorpion" Calendar found in Central California

Back in the day when Californians used to look up at the sky to see what was up there instead of what is in their big fat narcissistic egos.

Back in the day.... before the extreme lawn plantings and the divorces and the sunglasses and the psychologists and the convertibles, California had people who could sit still. And they could look up at the sky! And, I repeat, they could sit still...

Well, some things never change. Same as today, I doubt the Californians were sober back then. If you've ever seen the Sun set over the Pacific Ocean in November, or watched the Whales swimming up North to breed, you know why this is.

Recently found: a Scorpion carving on a tree in San Luis Obispo County is now thought to have been a Chumash motif showing the constellation Ursa Major traveling around Polaris the North Star.

A paleontologist working in Arroyo Grande named Rex Saint Onge discovered the "Scorpio Tree" in Fall 2006 up in the Santa Lucia Mountains. There is a type of astrolocality technique which splays the 12 signs of the Zodiac over the Globe. I've forgotten what it's called, but do remember that the signs of Sagittarius and Scorpio split right around this area. If you know anything about California you know how much the environment changes right around this area. Southern California is open chapparal. The light is so bright it's actually really difficult to see without sunglasses. The people are open and sunny. Northern California is greener, darker and sort of sparkly. The light casts long dark shadows.

So, I think it's extremely interesting that the Scorpion motif for a constellation is found right at this spot. And the astrology for the finding corresponds really well. In Fall of 2006 Jupiter was changing signs from Scorpio to Sagittarius and was moving toward conjunction with Pluto! Both Venus and Mars were in Scorpio that month as well.

Plotting Like Rabbits

In Gloucester, Massachusetts a bunch of the local high school girls, 17 at last count, is Pregnant. All at the same time. This is something like 3 times more than the usual amount. Some authorities say this is a result of a Pact the girls made to get pregnant so they could raise their children together. A Pregnancy Pact. Well, this is better than a Suicide Pact, isn't it?

The CDC says that there was a 3 percent rise in teenage pregnancies last year that may be just some sort of inexplicable blip. It does match last year's transits. Can you imagine being a teenager while both Jupiter and Pluto are in Sagittarius? Kids at that age are already terrorizing the World with their Opinions, a Sagittarius keyword. Kids that age know what's right, not what's wrong. And then there's the firey, party aspect of Sagittarius. Remember when Miss America and Miss Teenage America were reprimanded for dancing on the tables of the bars in New York City? Atsa Saggy. Just ask Brittany.

So both planets moved into Capricorn, sign of Aging, and suddenly we're all grown up now.

Time Magazine said that a social worker or administrator at the school said that the girls were suffering from alienation and loneliness in their lives and were just looking for something to love. Now the girls are denying that. The astrology is pretty interesting.

The average age of the girls is 16 which means that the average year that they were born is 1992. These girls are probably the products of the Uranus-Neptune conjunction in Capricorn and of Pluto in Scorpio. In 1991 the North Node was also in Capricorn. So this generation wants to eat at the grown up table. To each his own.

Pretty interesting that the Scorpio/Capricorn emphasis in their birth charts come to the fore in this way just as Pluto moves into Capricorn. And, with Pluto in Scorpio and all that Capricorn. When they say they didn't agree to a Pact, well, that just means that they didn't agree to telling anyone else about their Pact.

(Imagine a link to the article from TIME Magazine here: )

Jerry Yang

Yahoo is currently struggling to avoid a hostile takeover from Microsoft. I wanted to look at the CEO's charts to see what's going on with them. Jerry Yang and David Filo are the founders of Yahoo and I could only find Jerry Yang's birth date. I'm not sure how involved David Filo is in running the company as Jerry Yang is mostly in the news. What grabbed me was the fact that The San Jose Mercury News published an email Yang sent to the Yahoo employees and dope that I am I was particularly impressed by the fact that he doesn't capitalize words in his business correspondence. He's worth Billions and runs the company like e.e.cummings! That's awesome. I mean, maybe it's not so awesome right now as he struggles to figure out what to do with Yahoo, but at least he sounds like a fun boss.

Jerry Yang
b. Nov. 6. 1968 Taipei, Taiwan

Sun 14 Scorpio; Moon Taurus or Gemini; NN 10 Aries

Yang is a Scorpio like Bill Gates and if his Moon is in Taurus he's got good fixed sign capabilities, holding power. Also, like Bill Gates, he was born during a Jupiter-Pluto conjunction. His Pluto-Jupiter is supercharged at the end of Virgo (25 & 29 degrees respectively) conjunct Mars (29 Virgo) and Uranus (3 Libra) . This brings in the extreme success of a Jupiter-Pluto conjuction but with Mars and Uranus also an impulsive, initiator quality to the way he does business that Gates doesn't seem to have.

This Jupiter-Pluto conjunction was directly squared by the recent conjunction of those planets at the end of Sagittarius. This poses some big challenges as squares generally do. Yang's progressed Sun and prog. Mercury are at the end of Sagittarius as well meaning that he really is stressing right now. It's interesting to note that there was another Jupiter-Pluto conjunction back in 1995 just as Yahoo was getting off the ground (the t.North Node also passed over natal Neptune as well). This would have been conjunct his natal Neptune in Scorpio which is trining the natal Virgo conjunction and was in his Solar Return Chart for the entire 1994-95 year. I haven't looked up Yahoo's data so I can't be specific about this.

As for what will happen? Jupiter will trine that natal Pluto-Mars-Jupiter-Uranus conjunction later this year which will add some relief and maybe a lucky way out. It will pass over the Uranus-Neptune conjunction in Yahoo's natal chart which could bring either an opportunity or just a lot of optimism. Probably Yahoo already is strongly international but there may be more emphasis on overseas operations. Yang's natal Mercury is in diplomatic Libra, hopefully he'll be able to think through a solution. Right now his Mercury has progressed to a square with natal Mars-Jupiter showing that's he's definitely pushing to come up with new ideas. It's also approaching a square to natal Uranus so the ideas may come by working in a group and through friends. They will have to be new and innovative ideas that project far into the future.

Yang's progressed Sun also tells some interesting stories. It is just pulling away from a conjunction to his natal Venus (about 4 years ago). It looks like he was too lax in running his company and was enjoying his riches (Venus square Pluto). He may also have been bored. Yang's progressed Sun is now at 24 Sagittarius. This means it is approaching an exact square to natal Pluto by a degree, showing Power struggles over the next year. He's also approaching his Neptune square which shows some confusion as to how to handle the situation, maybe feeling that his world is not in his control. Neptune can be a great time to reach outside of normal boundaries through imagination so hopefully he will use this. He should definitely avoid drinking right now, especially if his Neptune is opposing his natal Moon.

Do the Walk of Love

Eunice Lopez is an enterprising woman. At Age 26 she has eeked out a living by marrying men who wanted citizenship. Apparently she has married at least 10 guys, maybe as many as 17. She did it all starting in 2002 when she arrived in the U.S. from Cuba. Her last known Altar Walk was in 2006. The story is told here: http://www.miamiherald.com/news/miami_dade/story/345576.html. There's a cute comment about how she seems to have preferred the months of June and November for marriage. Perhaps the Saturn-Pluto opposition in Gemini and Sagittarius had something to do with this, God only knows.

If she's 26, then Eunice was probably born in 1981. That would be a good year for some obsessive behaviors regarding marriage and partnerships because Jupiter, Saturn and Pluto were all in Libra, the sign that rules those subjects. 1981 kicked off with a conjunction of Jupiter and Saturn in early Libra and towards the end of the year Jupiter hit Pluto in late Libra.

Maybe the Jupiter-Pluto conjunction is most appropriate because the Mrs. was arrested by the Police last Wednesday (2:35am Palm Beach) during another Jupiter-Pluto conjunction. That gives the Arrest Chart a 23 degree Libra Rising with ruler Venus in the 1st House. This matches the 1981 conjunction of Jupiter to Pluto which was at 25 Libra.

These guessing games are stupid. The News keeps saying that they figured her out by running her name and her birth date. They give her name but they leave out the birth date. Drives me nuts.

Jupiter's Next Pass

I finally figured out what the Jupiter-Pluto conjunction is all about. Don't know if you've spent much time around Scorpio-Sagg people. I have. I was born to a bunch and I tend to flock to more bunches. Thing about these guys is that they like to be cool, they like restrained good taste with secretive societies and stuff. I used to work with a Scorpio-Sagittarius woman who complained that she had been raised in a family of tacky people who wore goofy faced reindeers on their sweatshirts at Christmas. It was instinctual for her to know this is ugly. And it's like that in my family. Always in good taste. Well, I come from a family of designers so it was excessive. Our tree was trimmed into special globe shapes that sort of looked space age. And I wasn't allowed to apply the tinsel because I got too excited by all that shiny stuff. What I'm saying here, is that that is what Jupiter-Pluto is all about. And that is why I'm so let down by all the tastefully restrained Christmas decorations this year.

But there is one consolation. I went into the Target last night and all the "Hello Kitty" stuff was marked way down. That's right! It's a boon for all us who never got over how cute "Hello Kitty" is. The stores obviously can't move it off their shelves this year. So, Rejoice World! Jupiter still loves you.

And if that's not your cup of tea. Here's news about Jupiter's next adventures. It looks like Jupiter's partying all the way around the outer planetary block on his 12 year trek around the zodiac. First he'll hit Neptune and Chiron together in Aquarius and sort of anesthetize us and then clobber us with an Aries Point t-square with Uranus, Saturn, Pluto.

In 2009, there will be 3 conjunctions of Jupiter, Neptune with Chiron at the end of Aquarius:
May 27, 2009 27 Aquarius
July 10, 2009 27 Aquarius
Dec. 21, 2009 25 Aquarius

For comparison sake, the last Jupiter-Neptune conjunction was Jan 9, 1997 at 28 Capricorn. Only one pass.

In 2010, there will be 3 conjunctions of Jupiter with Uranus at the beginning of Aries. This will be in a t-square opposite Saturn in Libra squared by Pluto in Capricorn.
June 8, 2010 1 Aries
Sept. 22, 2010 29 Pisces
Jan. 2, 2010 28 Pisces

For comparison sake, the last Jupiter-Uranus conjunction was on Feb. 16, 1997 at 5 Aquarius. Only one pass.

This information is from Richard Nolle's website: www.astropro.com.

Wall St. Journal on a New Leash This Week

Rupert Murdoch will take over as owner of the Dow Jones Corporation this week as mentioned in this Yahoo article: http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20071209/ap_on_bi_ge/dow_jones_murdoch. He's spending something like 5B to control The Wall St. Journal and to possibly expand it to include International Markets.

Is this a sign of Jupiter and Pluto hitting each other just as they move over into Capricorn? A little Aries Point Action on the Corporate, Business Front maybe? A Newspaper (Sagittarius) Mogul from overseas taking over the U.S. Stock Exchange (Capricorn).

Murdoch's chart is lit up by the transits like Rudolph's Red Nose. The Jupiter-Pluto conjunction will be in conjunction with his natal Moon at 25 Sagittarius and Ascendant at 2 Capricorn. This mirrors his Natal Jupiter-Pluto conjunction in Cancer in the 7th house. The natal conjunction also includes a conjunction with Mars in Cancer and an opposition to Saturn in Capricorn in H1. Strong willed gentleman. And I guess he supports conservative politics and religion and was the driving force behind the Bush Administration. Pluto in Capricorn is obviously making its 1st ultra depressing debut.

Please note more major transits: t.Saturn is close to conjunction to natal Midheaven and t. Uranus is close natal Pisces Sun.

Interesting to compare Murdoch's chart with Ben Bernanke, Federal Reserve Board Chairman. Bernanke is a Sagittarius Sun with Pisces Moon and Murdoch is a Pisces Sun with Sagittarius Moon. Bernanke's Sun is at 21 Sagittarius is conjunct Murdoch's Moon. Due to lack of birth time I don't know if they are in conjunction. Also, Murdoch's opposition between Saturn and Mars c. Pluto is laid over Bernanke's Nodal Axis. Bernanke may feel controlled by Murdoch's newspaper.

Jupiter-Pluto Conjunction

Jupiter will be in exact conjunction with Pluto in Sagittarius on December 11 at 29 Sagittarius. What's it mean? What's it mean?

Jupiter's in its own sign so Academia, Religious belief, Opinions, Lawyers, Partying, it's all good, maybe over the top. Virgo and Capricorn like to revamp and revise. Pluto likes to do full-on demo and then put up something new, shiny bright. What I've noticed in my little neck of the woods, though, is that the Christmas decorations are really understated and dull. It's like we've never recovered from the Christmas that Martha Stewart spent in jail. Or at least I didn't. Wasn't that awful? This is going to be a short conjunction because neither Jupiter nor Pluto is entering into retrograde so enjoy it while it lasts. And keep your opinions to yourself. And I ought to try doing the same...

Since Pluto has a 248 year cycle the last time these two were together was 1758 in October/Novemberish. Maybe that was the year that George Washington's teeth fell out. I checked: Washington was a young buck, Age 26. This article (http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/6875436/) says that Washington started losing his teeth in his 20s. That just totally sucks. Sagittarius can bring a lot of anxiety, he really needed a mouth guard in case he was grinding, oh well, Cap Moon, what can you say? He probably got his syphilis once Pluto moved into Capricorn and hit his Moon.

What's interesting is that Uranus was also in Pisces in 1758 just like it is now. Interesting that Uranus, with its almost 84 year cycle, goes about through 3 cycles for every one of these Jupiter-Pluto cycles. When the last Jupiter-Pluto conjunction was in April, 1883, Uranus was in Virgo, opposite sign of Pisces. This mutable energy gives Jupiter's place in the combination even more strength and influence. Pluto and Uranus like Revolution and Jupiter likes Opinions and Right Conduct and Mutable Signs don't mind a change of scenery.

I've checked backwards for older Jupiter-Pluto conjunctions in Sagittarius. In 1509 there was an extended conjunction due to Retrogrades which lasted from February to October. All of Europe, India, the Philippines and the Colonies were in a 7-years' War. Please Wiki the year to find out more, I'm certainly no history teacher. Henry VIII started his long rule of Merry Olde England. If I remember the PBS series correctly, Henry VIII was Protestant in a Catholic World, so the Sagittarius theme of Religion was very strong. Uranus moved into Aries just as Jupiter hit Pluto. This changes the predominant energy of the combination from Mutable to Fire. Erasmus wrote "In Praise of Folly." Clown imagery used to mask deep-seated problems of human nature sounds sort of Sagittarius. The Renaissance was peaking showing man's growing belief in himself.

Then the two planets were in conjunction in Sagittarius back in Dec. 1259 to August 1260. Uranus was in the middle of Aries at this point. It looks like this is a major time of change in Asia with Chinese, Japanese, Koreans, Hindus and Thais all changing empires and dynasties. Kublai Khan took over the Mongol Empire at this point. And Chartres Cathedral was dedicated this year. The "Treaty of Paris" was signed between England and France which Wikipedia says was one of the reasons for the 100 years war.

Well, this is my Jupiter-Pluto conjunction thoughts. It's happening in my 7th house. No Prince Charming is showing up on his White Steed so I guess Godzilla will be my "open enemy" for the week.

New Orleans Maternity Ward Hits the Jackpot

New Orleans keeps flooding! Cute story from ABC about a Deluge of Babies that were born in a Hospital in New Orleans. At Oechsner Medical Center the Maternity Ward popped out a set of Triplets, then a set of Quadruplets and then a set of Triplets all within a space of slightly more than 24 hours. The newscaster called it "Hitting the Jackpot." Jackpot? Dang, the Sun must be in Sagg! Yah! along with Mercury and the Jupiter/Pluto conjunction. I just love this Newscaster, he even gave the times for the births. Turns out the Jupiter/Pluto conjunction was always very close to either the Ascendant or the Descendant when the babies were born. Jackpot!

Also interesting to notice is that the Moon (Maternity) in Libra was trining Neptune (Hospital) for the first two births and then had moved on to trine the Pisces (Hospital) North Node for the third birth.

The Sun was squaring the opposition between Saturn in Virgo (Health) and Uranus in Pisces (Hospital) from one side and Mars was sextiling/trining from the other side in Cancer (Maternity).

Gemini and Mercury rule Twins. I don't know what rules Multiple Births, maybe Multiple Planets? (tee hee, atsa joke) At any rate, in this case it's certainly Sagittarius. 10 little Sagittarians with Libra Moons. Opinionated little diplomats. It's a good thing Sagittarians get along so well with other Sagittarians so well because these kids will never lack for a playmate.

TIARA ALERT!!

California's a great place to live. There's a premium on physical beauty and emotional happiness but don't ask us to finish our sentences and definitely don't ask us to count our tiaras. On Nov. 25 a new Miss California was crowned and was told 4 or 5 days later to hand over her crown not to the next in line 1st-Runner-Up-Girl but to the 2d Runner up, Raquel Beezley, of Barstow. The reason for the mix-up is sometimes given as "An accounting error" and sometimes as "A Counting Error." Somebody either tabulated the judge's results incorrectly or slept with the wrong judge, hard to say. The things that can happen when you've got really good quality marijuana and a lot of ambition.

To paraphrase Ms. Beezley in an interview on Yahoo: "Who would think that with only 5 judges the counting could mess up? There's only, like, five scores?" (That only take one hand).

As far as Astrology goes I don't have either Contestants' birthdays or the time for the Pageant so this is b.s.

Venus was in Libra (Beauty in its own sign) trining Glamorous Neptune; a night to be remembered as far as Beauty Pageants go.

I didn't look it up but I imagine the Sun, ruler of Leo sign of Nobilty, etc., to represent Crowns. The Sun is in Sagittarius squaring the Nodes in Pisces and Virgo. The rulers of the Nodes then again are squaring each other. A gnarly situation, for sure. Guilty planets are: Mercury in Scorpio squaring Neptune. That could account for the fuzzy math and some hanky panky. For sure, with all that Neptune, my pot story sticks; they're all high and really really spacy from all that dieting.

The Moon (Women) on Nov. 25 was in Gemini (two girls) opposite the Jupiter(Luck)-Pluto(Dark Ambitions) conjunction in Sagittarius. There was another catty event at another pageant, Miss Universe?, last week as well, if I'm remembering correctly. Someone pepper sprayed the winner's gowns. These pageants are really warming up. Time to change the name to the Ms. Global Warming Pageant. The Girl with the smallest Carbon Footprint wins. Sorry just had to put that in.

And, Saturn being in Virgo and conjunct the South Node. The Devil is in the details here.

The good part is that both girls are extremely beautiful and the girl from the ugliest place won. Here's a link to several versions of a song called "Barstow" by the experimental music composer Harry Partch in order to give you a feel for what growing up in a truck stop is all about.

Whoopi Goldberg

Happy Birthday Whoopi Goldberg One of My Favorite Comedians In the Whole Wide World!

Whoopi Goldberg
b. Nov. 13, 1955 12:48 pm New York, NY

Sun 21 Scorpio; ASC 20 Aquarius; Moon 13 Scorpio; MC 7 Sagittarius; NN 19 Sagittarius

Wow, this is a weird chart. Whoopi's one of those people who isn't what she seems; but, she'd probably be the first person to admit it. It seems that Whoopi's almost like two different people who are nevertheless on the same mission in life. She has a very strong square aspect inside a very strong trine aspect which binds up all her planets into a Bundle Pattern which shows that she has a lot of enthusiasm, drive and luck for focusing on whatever she wants.

I have to admit it, I was sort of shocked when I first looked at the chart (astrotheme). First thing I noticed was the need for control. Whoopi's got Sun conjunct Moon and Saturn in Scorpio. Saturn is also squaring a conjunction of Jupiter and Pluto in Leo, H7. She's basically a Human Torpedo; there's such a strong will and drive here. But Scorpio is sensitive and low-key, it doesn't work by pushing and shoving. And Scorpio needs intimacy. Occasionally, Whoopi has to go through complete restructurings in her life as this combination will give an all or nothing attitude.

Scorpio likes Intimacy and, as all but one of the planets is above the Horizon in her chart,Whoopi just happens to like to be intimate with at least 10 million viewers at the same time. And with a Jupiter-Pluto conjunction in the 7th House the 10 million viewers are strongly attracted right back at her. There's a "Pizaaz" vibe to the Jupiter-Pluto conjunctions. The way this intense fixed square works is to cover itself up (Scorpio) while exposing itself (Leo). Scorpio works in private behind the scenes at the same time fuels the wild, zany Sagittarius-Aquarius combinations in her chart.

With Aquarius Rising and Sagittarius Midheaven, Whoopi's intellectual and humanitarian sides are what are shown to the Public. She's friendly and uplifting, salt of the earth and liberal. This is doubly emphasized as all of Whoopi's planets are bound up in a Bundle Shaped chart that's bordered by Venus-MC in Sagittarius on one end and her chart ruler, Uranus, in the 6th House on the other end. Whoopie dresses casually, a free spirit, doesn't like anything constricting. I actually watched a tape of the episode of The View where the other ladies convince her to wear a bra. She's got a Libra Mars that's basically unaspected except for a trine to her Ascendant. So the drive to be fair and to look at all sides of an issue are especially important to her. I sure hope she doesn't end up modeling for Victoria's Secret next but if she does Heidi Klum had better watch her skinny ass. Whoopi is one who has the courage to rampage through any taboos or boundaries.

Polar Bears

Since they're in the news so much these days for being the "Canaries of the Global Warming Crisis" I thought I'd check to see if Polar Bears are born to any particular signs.

Polar Bears mate mostly in April. They dig dens in October and November in order to give birth. They purposely dig into the South Sides of Hills so that extra snow will cover them up.

The Polar Bears are born in November and December. This makes them mostly Sagittarians which seems really obvious I guess. They are Santa Claus' bears, after all. They even seem to live according to their Jupiter Returns because they live with their Mother for the first 3 years of their life and then they're on their own. This is the first Jupiter Square.

This also means that many will be born with the Jupiter-Pluto conjunction in the same sign as their Sun this year. You never really hear about the Crisis side of Jupiter and Pluto working together, but as Pluto has been passing through their sign their very existence has become increasingly imperiled. Scientists and Tourists will be up in the North Pole gawking at this years' Kids with complete desperation. That alone will certainly melt the ice. Well, and hopefully by then they'll be tucked away in their caves under massive amounts of freshly minted snow.
