Donald Trump and the GOP debate

NEW YORK (AP) — An estimated 24 million people watched Fox News Channel's prime-time debate with the top 10 Republican presidential candidates, the highest-rated broadcast in the network's history. The Nielsen company said Thursday's debate ratings more than doubled Fox News' best ratings in the past, for election night 2012. A debate with seven lower-polling candidates earlier Thursday had 6.1 million viewers.The debate turned into a slugfest with front-runner Donald Trump in particular feeling the heat. He tweeted out criticism of the network's three moderators as "not very good or professional" and retweeted a message from a supporter who called the network's Megyn Kelly a "bimbo." http://goo.gl/o8NMdg

Donald J. Trump’s suggestion that a Fox News journalist had questioned him forcefully at the Republican presidential debate because she was menstruating cost him a speaking slot Saturday night at an influential gathering of conservatives in Atlanta. It also raised new questions about how much longer Republican Party leaders would have to contend with Mr. Trump’s disruptive presence in the primary field. http://goo.gl/2xooCE

Cardinal Ingresses of the Sun are considered among the most important events in mundane astrology. On July 17, the Sun moved into sidereal Cancer. A chart for the event at New York is shown here.  The following extract from Nick Fiorenza describes the energetic of the stars that conjoin the MC [21vi].   Notice that it virtually describes the theatre that the GOP debate was reduced to.

Several stars conjoin the MC: Denebola, Beta Leo; Alpha Antilia, of the air pump, Avior of Carina, Argo Navis; and Alkes of Crateris, the cup of salvation. These stars express through the last few degrees of sidereal Leo, creating a diverse polarity of energies that set Leo's back stage.

Alkes / Crateris is the "the Golden Chalice," the "Cup of Salvation" while Denebola is of a foul breeze, indicative of smoke screens and diversions. Denebola, along with earlier Zosma and Chort, create the hind of the lion. This area of the Leo is of those behind the scenes, of the political religious figures manipulating the affairs of the world. To grasp the greater theme of this paradoxical dynamic, an overview of the surrounding heavens is appropriate.

North, above Denebola, the tail of the Lion, is the tail of the Bear, of the constellation of Ursa Major, although lying just across the cusp of sidereal Leo into Virgo. Benatnasch is the tip of the Bear's tail and is the administrative seat of the fallen lords directing the affairs of the Earth--this image articulating the essence of the old totalitarian and dictatorial paradigm on Earth. This mythical imagery is derived from the time when Earth's pole had fallen its furthest from the plane of galactic light in its 25,000-year precessional cycle, which occurred about 6000 years ago, and thus passing over this area of the zodiak--hence a fallen lord. Under the Benatnasch directive, the world powers have over and over again demonstrated the inability to ensure the safe ascension of Earth and Humanity by perpetuating the continual upheavals, wars, and destruction of the peoples of the Earth throughout the ages. Also conjoining Benatnasch, just into sidereal Virgo is Zavijava, which is of the innocent but naïve followers of the manipulative egoic figureheads, following the self-proclaimed political religious gurus of the world.

Progressing the ingress chart to August 6, the day of the debate, brings the Mercury-Mars opposite Pluto combination to a square with the meridian (hard aspect to Ascendant in radix).  Key phrases for this combination as provided by Ebertin are as below:

Mars-Mercury : a love of quarreling or fault finding, obstinacy and willfulness; irritability. With Pluto: a fanatical critic, an over-zealous orator; the misfortune of having to suffer heavy attacks or assaults from others.

The extract from Nick Fiorenza  describes the debate as a lot of "foul breeze" as “false leaders” offer the “cup of salvation” to “blind followers” while the keyphrases from Ebertin elegantly describe the overheated nature of the debate.
