Cancer Ingress and Obama’s climate change speech

(WASHINGTON) — President Barack Obama declared the debate over climate change and its causes obsolete Tuesday as he announced a wide-ranging plan to tackle pollution and prepare communities for global warming. In a major speech at Georgetown University, Obama warned Americans of the deep and disastrous effects of climate change, urging them to take action before it’s too late.

Obama’s horoscope [1]  has Sun [12le]  forming a T-square with Neptune [8sc] and Hades [10ta].  Since the Sun is conjunct the descendant [18le] and the dwarf planet Ceres [20ta] is square the horizon axis, the T-square can be extended to include Ceres.

The solar eclipse [19ta31] of May 9, 2013 was significantly placed on  (a) the descendant at Washington (b) Obama’s radix Ceres [20ta].  Key ideas from two references will tell us why Obama is so concerned about climate change.

Ceres, as the Goddess who has control over nature's resources and cycles, may astrologically be considered the planet of the Environment. Returning to mythology, an early environmental villain is the figure of Erysichthon, the tearer up of the earth, who cut down trees in a grove sacred to Ceres-Demeter, for which he was punished by the goddess with fearful hunger. In this sense Ceres became an emerging archetype in the awareness of recent climate change, and is entering our collective consciousness as a need to take care of our natural and irreplaceable resources in the 21st century. Ceres represents a leap towards a future of ecological responsibility and knowledge. As an indicator for environmental or community activism, Ceres would represent for some astrologers the wave of the future. [2]

Hades/Neptune: environmental deterioration [3]

With transit Saturn about to station direct on Obama’s radix Neptune there is  a need for a structure or schedule (Saturn) to counteract degenerative (Hades)  processes that affect the environment (Neptune).

In mundane astrology cardinal ingresses of the Sun are used to understand trends for the three months that follow each ingress. The chart for the Sun’s entry into Cancer at Washington is shown here. Notice the Grand Trine  of Neptune and Saturn with the Sun and Jupiter at the IC of the chart.  Amongst other things, the  fourth house and the IC are connected with the environment and the weather so that it is not surprising that Obama announced his policy around the time that the Sun and Jupiter slipped into Cancer  forming a conjunction on the IC of the ingress chart.

If we progress the ingress chart to Tuesday [25^th June]  the planets Pluto-Uranus and the TNP Kronos and Hades  are more closely aligned with the angles so that we begin to see why Obama delivered the speech he did. 

Hades/Kronos Rules or laws that deal with waste  material or disposal of things to be discarded [3] [4]

Pluto-Hades-Kronos-Uranus: Pressures (Pluto) through general deterioration (Hades)  are felt by the leaders (Kronos) and  lead to a change (Uranus)  in laws (Kronos) [3] [4]

Finally the MC [28sa]  of the Ingress chart  is conjunct the Galactic Center [27sa]. Knowing that  Jupiter [28ge] is opposite the GC , Philip Sedgwick’s account [5] of the GC tells us exactly why this pressure to change obsolete laws is being felt now.

Infrared energy (from the Galactic Center)  pressures the subconscious mind, providing the release of learned behavior and memories, both negative and positive, all in the interest of moving forward. Resistance naturally buffets against the Galactic Center flow. Progress is terrifying. Letting go of old concepts, regardless of their flaws, does not come easily. New-fangled ideas might bring some sort of curse with its blessing.

Part of the mental resistance originates in a mnemonic overload condition I like to refer to as psycho-technological adjustment. Psycho-technological adjustment points out the emotional perplexity of responding to advances in science and technology.

The Galactic Center rules ignorance. Ignorance in this context does not denote a lack of knowledge. Ignorance connotes the presence of knowledge one consciously chooses to ignore.
