The sequester lawmakers have been
warning about for months will soon be reality.
Congress effectively missed the
deadline to avert the automatic spending cuts, originally passed into law in
the summer of 2011. President Obama will officially enact the cuts by the end
of the day Friday.
In this
post we make an attempt to understand the present crisis in the US
The major current
solar progression for the US Sibly is Sun
(8pi) square Uranus (8ge) in a forming aspect. It is not coincidental that the Yod discussed
in previous posts is here activating
radix Uranus. Readers may like to revisit these posts to see a
continuity with what follows.
The progressed
Sun (8pi) is also conjunct radix Nessus (9pi); Ceres (8pi) and opposite Toro
(4vi).
NESSUS
Nessus rules bad blood. He appears
in instances in which previously familiar people
become mortal enemies over physical
aspects of life. Commonly, the issues are the possession elements of love, property
and money. The perihelion of Nessus lies in Libra; it’s node stands firm in
Taurus. Whenever issues of money, especially regarding estates, inheritances
and taxes, come about, Nessus reigns. All bets are off. All is fair in
love, war and the preservation of economic stability - the primary causes of
conflict. The fight is dirty, underhanded and based upon the idea that
someone either has or is taking away what one feels rightly belongs in her/his possession
[1]
CERES: The need for nurturing; issues
of "taking care of" people; mother-child relationships
URANUS: indifference; coldness
TORO: bullying; intimidation; muscle
flexing-psychologically or physically; challenging others; rough treatment
Ceres-Uranus
There could be issues about whether
the government should take care of the
people or whether it should be indifferent (Uranus) to their plight. Perhaps it
is also time to make sure that
"caring" includes room for people
to be individuals.
Toro-Uranus
Acting aloof, erratic or
unpredictable (Uranus) when angry (Toro).
Having to be strong (Toro) to effect changes (Uranus); incidents
when someone shows that they're a tougher customer(Toro) than the
other expected (Uranus). A better idea: Defend the right to make changes or to do it "your
way"! [2]
Shown above
is the chart for the US Sibly solar return progressed to 1st March –
the day the sequester sets in. Notice that (a) the radix solar arc aspects
discussed above and (b) solar return
Venus-Jupiter-Neptune are on the angles of this chart.
Venus-Jupiter
Extravagance with finances.[2]
Jupiter-Neptune
You'll also see unrealistic promises, and a lot of disappointment with
Congress. People who built their castles
on sand are discovering that the tide
has changed (and that piddly little bump is
where their fortress used to be).[2]
Note:
The Ascendant-Descendant
axis for the New Moon (Feb 10) at Washington
Alderamin, the Alpha star of Cepheus,
is the right shoulder of King Cepheus, father of the Royal Family and Princess
Andromeda, often portraying one in an authoritative position. Alderamin imparts
a quality of authoritative responsibility. With afflicted alignments, Alderamin
can expresses as denial, avoidance, or turning one's head from dealing with
the manipulative power plays causing our or other people's entrapment with a
flippant attitude to do anything about them. Nick Fiorenza
