Flying Squirrels In the Emergency Room

Now this is what I call an out of body experience.

Flying squirrels keep showing up in an emergency trauma room in a New Jersey hospital.

At least, a second one showed up last night which is the second time in two weeks.

Trauma and emergencies are Marsian. Hospitals are Neptunian. Weirdness is Lunar and Uranian.

Well, there's been an opposition of Mars in Virgo to Neptune in Aquarius so those two are working together these days. Neptune is in conjunction with Chiron in Pisces, so it looks like the idea of wounds that don't heal are messing with the Dr's. heads.

Don't know what time the first squirrel began to swoop the patients, but the one last night showed up at 10:00 pm. The opposition is past close orb but is apparently still in effect. At 10:00 pm Mars in Virgo was in the first house. The Moon in Aquarius was in conjunction with the Descendant and Neptune and Chiron. The Moon is ruler of the 12th House of Hospitals. There's no doubt that this is a psychic intervention from someone who died in there.

Mars (H1) is squaring the Sun-NN conjunction in Sagittarius which is in the 4th House (end of life, environment). The Sun rules the chart here, as does the vibe in the room. Sagittarius likes to fly, that's for sure. It also rules Laws.

You can't file a malpractice lawsuit after you're dead, so I guess this is the next best solution for bad treatment received. With Neptune moving into its own sign and in conjunction with Chiron there might be more to come on this subject.

Well, and Uranus 1 Aries is unaspected in the 8th House of Death, Sex, Taxes and other forms of Vengeance. Those squirrels don't fark around. Did Snookie comb out her rat's nest? Give these poor things a new place to land.

A Spoonful of Sugar

When it comes to Pharmaceuticals Modern Medicine is really bummed out. Neptune has been in conjunction with Chiron, the planet which has to deal with things that it can't be fixed.

There isn't a fish in the sea at this point that's not gorked out on some psych or heart med that a human (probably American) has peed out. (source is from one of those graphs that's on the front of an old USATODAY)

"Medicines" are the 3d biggest killed in the United States after Heart Disease and Cancer. (source is from the lady who stood behind me in the taco shop) and this: http://www.cancure.org/medical_errors.htm (Errors and Hospitals, both Neptune)

The Drug Companies are so leery of making more mistakes and getting into more lawsuits that the Government is making bigger and bigger labs in order to try to keep up with the hopes and wishes of the Science community. (read that about 2 weeks ago in the newspaper somewhere)

And it turns out that pills that are meant for humans are the biggest toxin ingested by household pets. (Got this one: "Human meds a threat to pets (San Jose Mercury News, Jan. 29, 2011).

Whoa, Dude, gnarly session. On April 4, Neptune moves into Pisces its own sign. What that brings is anybody's guess. Artists and Orphans? Most of the fish have died off, there are islands of plastic bags floating where they used to live, but it seems that new species are showing up.

Neptune rules Drugs as they work for recreational purposes. I assume Neptune also rules Medications for health as well, but maybe that's actually more of a Virgo thing. Neptune rules big institutions, like big government labs and hospitals with long corridors that people lock up and throw away the keys to. This is probably great news for the pot farmers, though, except that Neptune also rules pesticides and fumigants and all things toxic.

Maybe it will be important to start paying more attention to where Ceres is during this transit. You sort of want to know what people really care about in order to deal in a constructive way with "Old Blue."

It's pretty interesting that the AMA was formed just as Neptune passed in to Pisces last time (19th century some time), so it's having a Neptune Return. And even more interesting is that the first Vegetarian Society formed in England the same month in May. This was just as Neptune made its first square to the Sun after its ingress. Both transits challenge the Sun first off from the same sign. Gemini the Fix It Guy. Interesting how that one month (gotta go look it up again, June 18--) kind of took the direction of cure in polar opposite directions.

For some reason I think this last transit mentioned is important. The Sun-Neptune square, that is. The leaders of the two biggest economies in the world at this point, China and the U.S. both have natal Sun-Neptune squares. Obama is a Leo Sun square Neptune in Scorpio. Hu Jintao is a Sagittarius Sun square Neptune in Libra.

Man, hate to say it, first thing that comes to mind when I see Sun in Gemini square Neptune in Pisces is corruption. And, then, very quickly after that I see a great tendency to create compassion and beauty in the world. And that's pretty awesome. The French developed the idea of Impressionism during the last Neptune in Pisces phase. Scattered points of light and color.

The DSM-5: Everything a Squirrel Can Do To a Clipboard

Probably the most anticipated publication of a book in modern times will be the publication of the new edition of the DSM, or "Diagnostic Something-Something Manual." This is the Bible of Modern Culture that categorizes the nuts and whackos into finely tuned #'s and ensures that at least half of undergraduates in the United States get degrees in psychology and have employment after graduation. So, next time you have to sit at your 8 to 5 job next to a hungover co-worker who goes on and on about how her child has the ADHD and her friend's kid have the Autism and her ex-boyfriend is a sociopath and her sister is a paranoid schizophrenic, you know where to go to read more.

There's a little newspaper freebie that's handed out in the Silicon Valley called The Epoch Times which hopefully is handed out all over the world and will be handed out more and more. The articles are great. The newspaper covers articles about worldly events written by people who live in those places and thus write about with a local sort of concern and perspective. The August 5 issue has an unbelievable story about how China is removing and selling organs from anyone who it jails for social re-activeness against their government. That's the important article, printed near the front of the paper, but towards the back there is a great article about psychiatry's newest Trojan horse. Apparently, the psychiatrists not only can treat only a handful of the disorders which they diagnose, but they are observing so many more which they feel ought to be included for future insurance company lawsuits. It's called "breaking down the patient into tiny little pieces so that he will never ever get away." After this thing is published psychiatrists will be able to diagnose their patients for disorders which they can sense will occur 20 years down the line. So young people will live under this hellish, dehumanizing umbrella for the rest of their lives. Well, if you can't help em, you might as well hurt em.

The article in the Epoch Times is called "DSM-5 'shrinks the pool of normality to a puddle'" and is written by The One Click Group: www.theoneclickgroup.co.uk/news.php?start=3760&end=3780&view=yes&id=5051#newspost.

I'm going to remind myself that this is the profession that's been dumping anti-d's down the general public and has only recently discovered that the curative powers of said med's are basically placebo. Meanwhile, they haven't quite yet admitted that there's a whole generation of folks with wrecked livers and gall bladders or whatever organ is responsible for the diabetes. Let us also not forget the environmental impact of these great experiments. The main pharmaceuticals that have been found to be currently poisoning the fish in the oceans are psychiatric drugs. Remember what goes in has to come out. Current filtration systems can't remove them. Meanwhile it turns out that eating what used to be fish used to help with mental disorders. (The DSM doesn't include a chapter on nutrition, so how could they possibly such a science exists?)

The "Get Help folks", oh my God. And yeah, the article says that anybody diagnosed as Eccentric in any way will now be diagnosed as Mentally Ill.

I think, but am not sure, that they are managing to do a positive thing. This new edition will stop saying that homosexuality is a mental illness. (What took so long?). Is the Task Force Gay? Are they doing for the straight people what the Gay Male Fashion Designers have done for Anorexic girls in society?

So, Facism's finest hour will be in May, 2013. There goes my theory that the Grand Trines of that year will form great new civilizations on earth.

There's a task force that's working diligently on the new DSM-5. Here's the link:

http://www.dsm5.org/MeetUs/Pages/TaskForceMembers.aspx

DSM-5's new leaders are David J. Kupfer, M.D. (Task Force Chair) and Darrel A. Regier, M.D. (Task Force Vice Chair). No birth date availability.

And there's some nut on the force who's last name is Wonkers! On no! I misread that. Someone's last name is Yonkers and the person right before her on the list is named Womack and I just immediately put the two together. Sorry, my bad, a Gemini Rising error, one of many. There's all kind of borderline psychiatry in the Task Force list, names like McNulty. Swedo. Skwado. You say Tomato, I say Tomahto. I doubt a patient would choose people with names like these as Doctors so no wonder these folks joined the Task Force (emphasis on the word "Force").

Okay, I don't have anger issues about how incompetent the psychiatric profession continues to be. Really I don't. (well, yeah, maybe I do) I just want to know who to blame this latest fiasco on. Is the DSM-5 going to be the fault of the Pluto in Leos or the Pluto in Virgos? (answer: Pluto in Leos, but with some major ass-wiping by the P in V's). The fact that they are diagnosing people for disorders that the people don't even have yet shows that authority is something which these folks really enjoy abusing. The last thing you want to do is to tell a Pluto in Virgo that he really can't see the Forest for the Trees. Virgo just doesn't want to leave anyone out so he could possibly include a diagnosis for absolutely everone on the planet (except himself, of course, self preservation is the Virgo's fighting song after all and if there's not a psych major out there who doesn't know how to blame others through that amazing b.s. called "projection" I haven't met him).

This tome will be the Frankenstein of the current inhumane t-square combination of Saturn-Uranus and Pluto in Control Freak Capricorn. It will be a reaction to what the Pluto in Cancer folks did in the psychiatric field, which actually was pretty good because some of those folks really did care about their patients. They were just too touchy feely. It's taken two generations to erase that song "Feelings" from all the elevator soundtracks. At any rate, the Pluto in Cancers took the electrodes away from the Pluto in Gemini's (God, was that fun or what?) and then I guess they either sent them down to Guantanamo or sold them to the Chinese for torturing their people into submission. Here's a description from the Epoch Times article "Organ Harvesting Witness Faces Deportation to China:"

I'd like to cry a little over man's inhumanity to man, but I can't anymore on account of what the DSM Task Force is doing. The story is about a guy from Dubai who was working as an executioner's assistant in China until he argued with his boss about how much a Kidney is really worth on the market. In China, they don't fire you, you flee the country. Just look at what the Chinese can do with all those old electro shock machines that were just gathering dust in the store rooms across America, so thrifty:

"I saw many scenes of torture ... an electrical appliance on women's genitals, deeply thrust into the vagina, the electric shocks, the scream." The guy's name is Nijat Abudureyimu. As I said, he's the real story in this edition of the paper. After all, the shrinks are here to help U & Me.

Dr. Franz Halberg - Chronobiology

Now that the Sun has woken up we can perhaps expect more problems with Heart Attacks. At least in Minnesota where Dr. Franz Halberg has spent more than 50 years studying Chronobiology in humans this might be the case. Working at the University of Minnesota Halberg has found that Heart Attacks occur on a 10.5 year cycle which correlates with the Solar Cycle. He has also found significant cycles in human healing relating to 7 days and 1.3 years and others.

A fascinating article about Halberg published in Minnesota Medicine (2005; 88(110); 26) called "Father Time" by Kim Kizer.

Dr. Halberg has doubled the cure rate of cancerous tumors simply by determining the best time to treat the patients. His wife was one of his patients. He has also found that chances for stroke can be greatly reduced by following individual blood pressure fluctuations in patients. Even treatment can be enhanced by following the individual cycles of a human.

“One of the big mistakes that’s made
is to believe that we can treat by clock hours,” he says. “We
have to treat by body times.”

Dr. Franz Halberg
B. July 5, 1919 Romania (no town given so I set chart for Bucharest)

Sun 13 Cancer; Moon Libra; NN 2 Sagittarius

I was looking for the Significance of Saturn in Dr. Halberg's chart, especially to see if Saturn relates to Pluto because I remembered that the guy who created the Atomic Clock had a strong Sun-Saturn-Pluto link. Well, that's wrong of course because we're not looking for Atomic timing (I'm not sure if it really is the Atomic clock, could be something else, is just very precise, I wrote about him somewhere on this blog). Anyway, with Pluto in Capricorn which is Saturn's sign of rulership I guess we will learn all kinds of things about timing and will return to the fine science of direct observation. Halberg has natal Sun in Cancer which is the sign opposite Capricorn and his Sun is conjunct natal Pluto in Cancer. So, that's the Sun-Pluto connection. That shows a caring Doctor who is receptive to his patients' needs (I think they've become obsolete these days) and who also excels at research. And his Saturn is in Leo so it disposits to the Sun.

Natal Saturn is conjunct Venus and is opposing Uranus. Now this makes sense. Uranus rules cycles and circulatory systems. Have to say that I don't understand Venus' relevance here except to say that Halberg has worked his whole life with the women in his family, his wife and his daughters. Venus rules harmonizing, balancing, etc. It's probably a very overlooked planet in researcher's charts.

Much of Halberg's research surrounds illnesses related to the heart which really shows the significance of his Saturn (Timing). He has 4 planets in the sign of Leo. Mercury is conjunct Neptune at the beginning of Leo and Venus is conjunct Saturn at the end of Leo.

Very interesting to observe the progressions of Mercury and the Sun. Because of a Retrograde roughly between the years 1947 and 1970, Halberg' progressed Mercury didn't leave Leo until until 1985. It was in conjunction with the Saturn-Uranus opposition in his chart for much of that time which could explain why he was able to concentrate so strongly on these specific observations. (It's an out of sign opposition, Uranus is at 2 Pisces Rx but has backtracked into Aquarius for his entire life). The progressed Sun passed through Leo for 30 years. It his Mercury-Saturn around 1967-68-69.

The influence of Dr. Halberg's Uranus is further emphasized in his chart as it is the handle of a Sling Chart. Solar Fire distinguishes between sling charts and bucket charts I guess. It looks as if Uranus is set off from the rest of the planets which are within a bundle. Either way, this puts an emphasis on innovation, new thoughts, futuristic thinking and, within the body, the circulatory system and cycles and also the shins and ankles. He also has no planets in Earth. We tend to be attracted to whatever our charts lack and this is perhaps why such a futurist stuck with Western Medicine and Science. It sounds as if nobody is disputing his research, they're just more interested in making pills these days than in figuring out how to administer them. Halberg's Venus is just coming out of Retrograde this year in the sign of Virgo so perhaps the damned AMA will finally come around.

Timing Vaccinations?

An English Doctor created an uproar in the Medical Community by saying that Vaccinations can cause Autism. He has now lost his license because parents weren't having their children vaccinated and certain diseases have introduced themselves into the U.S. at any rate. This is actually because of the out of control illegal immigration from 3d world countries but for now we will blame this on the English. Hey guys, that's what you get for speaking English.

I wanted to take a look at what's being done to the babies right now. Western Medical Doctors have become in my eyes like the police. You just try to avoid them because they hurt just as much as they help. But, when you need them, you really need them.

The CDC has published a great website which shows the vaccination schedules for both children and adults. I hope that the doctors at the CDC are half as talented as their computer graphics department because this thing is awesome. It turns out that kids are getting a lot of shots these days. They are being vaccinated for multiple diseases at once and are getting booster shots about every other month during their first 6 months. Most are given in series of 4.

That seems extreme but I wonder if Astrologers couldn't make use of these schedules by instructing people about safety of the timing for each child. Probably Medical Astrologers already do. I mean, maybe if a child's natal chart shows some sort of weakness in an area which is indicated by the disease that he's getting vaccinated for, his vaccinations could be juggled around. He shouldn't be vaccinated during the time of an Eclipse Set over his Sun or Moon or Ascendant. Maybe if Mercury Retrogrades over his 6th House he might be extra vulnerable to nervous system and respiratory disorders. If his first Mars Return is a Retrograde lasting 6 months or so the parents will probably just ask to have him put down (that's a joke, you know, terrible two's...).

I don't know when I received vaccinations but I do know that my Mother would have followed all the Doctors orders and I would have received them on schedule. I know that I got Bronchial Asthma when I was 3 months old. That sounds like a typical disease for a Cancer Sun with Gemini Rising to get. No biggee. But, I got the first attack while there was an Eclipse Set setting off key points in my chart (Sun, Moon, Nodal Axis). Maybe I had a bad reaction to a Whooping Cough vaccination? I spent my entire childhood scaring people with the crazy cough that I would get, after all. At any rate, the Doctors couldn't cure it through any safe baby methods so they ended up giving me what they were giving the adults. I've since read that this was a combination drug for psychiatric problems, both an upper and a downer in the same pill. The drug, also contained a legitimate asthma medication which is kind of difficult to dose. Apparently it is only effective right at the precise level that it also becomes lethal. So, yay, I remember lying in bed gasping for air and thinking: "This shit isn't working, I wonder if I will die today." What can I say? Mercury conjunct Uranus in Leo squaring Jupiter in Scorpio. Either way, I contracted all kinds of weird illnesses during my childhood. Maybe I was just having bad reactions to the vaccinations. Maybe it was the Wonder Bread. Maybe it was the fact that my parents smoked 3 packs of cigarettes a day each. Who knows? All the doctors smoked.

I don't have enough of a Medical Astrology knowledge to understand all the influences for the various diseases which are prevented through vaccination so I will give a very rudimentary keyword rulership from Rex Bills' Rulership book. Probably there is really great information out there about this. I think that the Medical Logo should now just be a picture with a syringe with a banner that says "Shut up and take the pill." Why can't Pluto in Virgo just admit that they don't know it all? Instead they start to cite studies.

Here's the link to the CDC list:

http://www2a.cdc.gov/nip/kidstuff/newscheduler_le/

Birth - Hepatitis B - Liver - Jupiter/Sagittarius, they give 3 doses of this: Birth, 1 to 2 months, 6 to 8 months, Might also check for afflicted or vulnerable Moon (Moon in Sagittarius or in difficult aspect to Jupiter and relating to a Health House)

DTaP will get 5 doses of this

Diptheria: Taurus, Venus
tetanus: Uranus (Saturn)
pertussis (Whooping Cough): Gemini, Mercury (Sagittarius, Mars) from Bills

Hib will get 4 doses of this

Pneumococcal conjugate (Infections of the blood, brain, joints, inner ears, or lungs).

Infections: Mars, Pluto
Blood: Jupiter, Sagittarius (Leo for Heart, Aquarius for Circulation)
Brain: Mercury, Aries, Moon (1, Sun, 3)
diseases of Brain: Aries, Mercury (Sun)
Joints: Saturn, Capricorn, 10
Lungs: 3, Mercury, Gemini (I thought this was Cancer!)
Pneumonia: Gemini, Mercury, (Saturn, Jupiter)
Inner Ears: Taurus = Ears, but inner ears: Mercury and Saturn (my guess on this one)?

Polio (IPV) Will get 4 doses of this
Saturn, Capricorn (Neptune)

Rotavirus - will get 3 doses of this
Diarrhea and vomiting Virgo (Moon, Mars)

Influenza - 2 doses starting at 6 months or older
Virus: Pluto

MMR - Measles, mumps and rubella (German measles) 2 doses of this
Measles: Mars, Aries (Moon, Venus)
Mumps: Taurus (Aries)

Varicella (Chickenpox) 2 doses of this
(Mars)

Hepatitis A 2 doses
Liver (Jupiter)
Virus (Pluto)

Meningococcal conjugate (Meningitis, septicemia, carditis, septic arthritis, pneumonia)
(not in Bills)
inflammation: Mars, Moon, maybe Jupiter
Sepsis: Saturn, Pluto
Brain: Mars
Spine: Sun, Uranus
Stiff neck: Taurus?
Blood: Jupiter, Sagittarius (Leo, Aquarius)

Human Papillomarvirus (Females only)
Venus, Pluto? (not in Bills)
warts: Saturn (Jupiter)

Pretty interesting how these vaccinations follow certain parts of the planetary return cycles. I've been studying how emotional trauma which occurs at these particular spots can cause problems down the line. So maybe it's best to avoid these dates, especially if the vaccination is going to affect illnesses that are ruled by the particular planet that is having the return. I mean, don't give a boatload of 11-12 year old girls with Jupiter in Scorpio a Human Papillomavirus vaccine. Doi.

The first 18 months are extremely busy for planetary returns of inner planets. 1st year is mostly Lunar Returns. Then at Age 1 there is the first Solar Return. Before and after that point, 2 months in either direction are the Mercury and Venus Returns. The first Mars Return occurs around Age 2. Jupiter's first square and trine occur around Age 3 and 4. The first square of the Nodal Axis (strongly affected by Eclipses) occurs between Age 4 and 5.

Jupiter seems to have a very strong influence. When we are born we are immediately given a Hepatitis B shot and these are repeated every other month for the 1st year and then we are given Hepatitis A shots. At around the Age of the first Jupiter Return kids are now going to be given more and more vaccinations I guess: Tdap (Diptheria, tetanus and whooping cough), Meningitis, and for the girls, warts.

Extraordinary Baby Week

So, Cardinal Signs represent new beginnings and maybe we should be expecting a whole lot of interesting new developments over the next couple of years as Pluto and then Uranus are on these points. The Solstice and Equinox points (beginnings of Seasons) may be more vital in Astrological interpretation than usual even.

The birth of a baby would certainly be a new beginning. The Autumn Equinox at Sun at 1 Libra squaring Pluto at 1 Capricorn has certainly brought news about exceptional situations regarding the births of babies this week. Neither of those signs is connected with the births of babies. However, Mars' transit through Cancer which might also be contributing. Unusual and Weird come under the rulership of Uranus which is just finishing up its final opposition to Saturn in Virgo (medical procedures). Both births that I'm talking about here were delivered via caesarian section. Age of the Mothers in both cases, 40 and 41 seems to show problems related to older women having children. This could become an issue with Pluto's presence in Capricorn, the sign of old age.

First story is of a big baby boy was born in Northern Sumatra who was born weighing more than 19 pounds due to his mother's diabetic condition during pregnancy. He has since been given the middle name of "Akbar" which means "big" in Sumatran. "Akbar" was more than 2 feet tall and his cry is said to sound like a lion's roar. This boy is the biggest baby ever born in his country. This is the 4th pregancy for the mother, all the previous births were normal.

Baby kept nameless except for his middle name "Akbar" which means "Big" in Sumatran
b. Sept. 21, 2009 (Monday) Medan, Indonesia

Sun 29 Virgo; Moon Libra if born in Morning, Scorpio if born in Afternoon; NN 28 Capricorn Rx

The Sun and Mercury Rx were both in conjunction with Saturn in Virgo. They are also squaring Pluto. Virgo is related to health conditions. The Sun related to Saturn and Pluto can show a difficulty with elimination within the vitality. Saturn and Pluto are also related to extreme proportions in size and scale in the arts, so maybe they can also relate literally to the human body. And a major factor here is Saturn's opposition to Uranus in Pisces.

For a baby born of a very large size it would be really cool to see if the planets that rules large things, which have been in conjunction with each other, were passing over the Ascendant. Jupiter is involved in anything big (expansion) as is Neptune (no boundaries). These two are in conjunction with each other and with Chiron. This would have been passing over the Ascendant around 4 pm Sumatran time. Sure would be interested to know what time "Akbar" was born to see if it corresponds with this passage. The Ascendant, I believe, corresponds with conditions related to an individual's birth.

World's largest baby on record weighed 23 pounds and was born Jan. 19, 1879 to the World's Tallest couple in Seville, Ohio, U.S.

This baby boy passed away 11 hours after birth. Interesting the correspondences with current astrology. Saturn and Uranus were in the opposite signs where they are now but not opposing each other. There was very close to both a Nodal Return (cusp of Capricorn-Aquarius) and a Jupiter Return in Aquarius. Not only that but Chiron was conjunct Neptune (different sign, Taurus then, Aquarius now).

Second strange story: A Fertility Clinic in an unknown midwest town planted the embryo of a Detroit, Michigan couple into the womb of an Ohio woman and discovered their mistake 10 days later.

This happened back in February so perhaps the Solar Eclipse on Jan. 26 and the Lunar Eclipse on Feb. 9 can somehow account for this error.

In Astrological shorthand, Mars and Uranus together represent Accidents and Uranus and Pluto together represent mistakes.

Back in February, the Sun's position in Aquarius would have disposited to Uranus. And Uranus was in opposition to Saturn which would have been exact to the degree on Feb. 5, 2009.

Uranus does things differently. Either way, the Ohio woman brought the baby to term as a surrogate and has handed it over to the Michigan couple with no strings attached. Such a heartful act is also very Uranian, only happens if one can distance one's self mentally from the inner needs. There are a few other instances listed on the Internet of instances when this has occurred and people have made different choices about how to handle the situation.

Uranus also describes the Shock involved around the pregnancy and also the high tech and manmade nature of the artificial insemination procedure. Saturn in Virgo perhaps could indicate problems through medical procedures. (I just went to a doctor yesterday and my records were full of errors so I wonder if this is pretty widespread right now.)

The Saturn Uranus opposition happens every 45+ years. It will make 5 passes of exact opposition during the current opposition cycle.

• The first opposition happened on Election Day, Nov. 4, 2008.
  
• The 2d one happened on Feb. 5, 2009.
• The 3d one happened Sept. 15, 2010. (Amazing how the oppositions correspond by Month to the events related to this accidental pregnancy.
• 4th happens on April 26, 2010 but in different signs, Libra and Aries
  
• 5th happens on July 26, 2010, Libra and Aries
  

An interesting CNN story describes how the couple heard about the mistake. In February, the husband was called around 4pm. At that time either Cancer or Leo would have been rising and the 7th house was loaded. These are the signs related to childbearing and child rearing. The Nodal Axis (destiny) was passing over the 1st/7th Houses with the North Node in the 7th. It would have remained at this spot at 4pm during the entire month of February.

For most of February the North Node was accompanied by Mars, Mercury, Jupiter, Neptune. How's that for describing a phone call (Mercury) regarding a Mistaken (Mars in Aquarius) artificial insemination (Uranus?) that will lead to a feeling of martyrdom (Neptune) that will lead to the birth of a baby boy (Mars, Jupiter). The emotional pain and shock that the couple suffered is described in the CNN story quoted below. Because of her age, Carolyn Savage will not be able to conceive another child and is going to have to use a surrogate herself.

Interesting CNN story describing the shock (Uranus) that came with hearing about the pregnancy:

http://www.cnn.com/2009/HEALTH/09/22/wrong.embryo.family/index.html:

"We were waiting and waiting and the call seemed like it would never come," Savage said.

Finally, around 4 p.m., Carolyn's husband, Sean, got the call at work.

"The doctor told me in one sentence, 'Carolyn is pregnant, but we transferred the wrong embryos,'" he said. "I didn't even know that could physically happen. It was a total shock, totally beyond the realm of possibility."

In a tragic mix-up, the Savages say the fertility clinic where Carolyn underwent in vitro fertilization implanted another couple's embryos into Carolyn's uterus.

In essence, she had become an unwitting surrogate for another family.

After receiving the news, Sean hung up the phone and drove straight home to tell his wife in person.

"He walked in and was as white as a sheet," Carolyn said. "He told me, and I think he repeated himself two or three times, and I kept saying 'You're joking.' I kept yelling at him stop it but there was nothing on his face indicating a joke." Watch more on the Savages and their reaction to their situation »

Incredulity turned to shock, and when that shock melted, so did the couple's hope for having another child of their own. At the time, Carolyn was 39 and her chances of having a child naturally after this one were waning.

"That was the beginning of a very treacherous and emotional journey for us," said Sean.

"I don't think I've ever cried so much in my life," said Carolyn. "It was such a nightmare and, in a way, I felt violated."

Swine Flu and Homeopathy

A while back I took a class on beginning Homeopathy, a medical practice that was highly regarded in this country until the AMA turned the practice into a crime. The Homeopaths always claim that they had a much better cure rate during the 1918 Flu Epidemic. One thing I found is that Homeopaths (this might just be an American thing) can sometimes exaggerate the effectiveness of their treatments. On the other hand I've personally that sometimes homeopathy really does work.

At any rate, I'm providing a link to a homeopathy website that lists some remedies for flu.
Oh well, here's the list. The easiest potencies to get are 30C. Trader Joe's also sells an awesome Vitamin C. It looks like Aconitum napellus is great for sudden onset and panic. That seems like one good little sugar pill to consider in this particular Aries style epidemic. (I'm not in any way a practitioner, I just enjoy reading the different remedies).
