Aquarius New Moon: Why Obama Finally Took on the One Percent






CNN called it Barack Obama’s Robin Hood turn and conservatives cried class warfare. But for the Democratic base, watching the president stand at the greatest bully pulpit on Earth and tell his audience to try working full-time and living on $15,000 a year was surely a special moment. They’ve waited six years for Obama to give them a night like this.

During his State of the Union address, the president used the sly term “middle class economics” to go after the one percent, proposing an unapologetic income redistribution plan that would take hundreds of billions from the nation’s richest individuals to cover things the middle class wants like free community college and child tax credits. http://www.newsweek.com/obama-state-union-one-percent-300958







The New Moon [0aq] is placed in the 12th house – a house  “governing those who are weak, infirm, or in need of support, and as a result, the welfare state” [1]. It is conjunct the asteroid Circe [1aq]. Martha Wescott gives us the following definition of Circe.

CIRCE: Helping, being of assistance & coming to the rescue.

In addition to this notice Saturn on the MC square Neptune and Mars. The MC refers to leaders like the President here. A Saturn-Neptune combination along with Mars refers to the need to take action to help those most in need. Confirming this is the position of Neptune conjunct the star Gamma (γ) Aquarius, Sadalachbia, in the urn of the Water Bearer – usually depicted pouring water to the thirsty masses.

So we can see that several elements of the chart point towards the need to help those in trouble. This is not to say that Obama is being honest or truthful. He recognizes that with no support from a Congress that is controlled by Republicans his plans are meaningless so voicing them may simply be a political gimmick. Yet it is important for us to recognize what the cosmic forces in the New Moon chart really want manifest.

Readers may remember that we saw a very positive expression of the Mars-Saturn-Neptune energy in a small incident that took place in Russia, just a few days back [2]. Perhaps the homeless cat is teaching us something that US politicians appear to have forgotten!
