Jan 16 Meeting

Featured Speaker
Carol Devine discussed predictions for 2007 using the USA First Congress and USA Sibley charts and George Bush’s chart. A copy of the charts discussed are included. Some highlights of her talk are given below. CDs of her talk will be available at the Feb. meeting for $10.00.* The north node went into Pisces on June 27, 2006 – we’re being drawn to ideas of compassion and sensitivity to others. Examples: charity by celebrities, and corporations such as Walmart.* Mars – consciousness, shifts into a new direction when the NN changes signs. Pisces is disposited by Neptune so we should look at things Neptune rules such as oil.* NY is on a fault line, there was a recent article about gas leaks indicating an earth quake is to come. On Jan 9, 200 ducks were found dead in Boise Idaho.* Saturn transiting opposite Neptune. I take seriously deception, oil leaks, global warming. We should take our environment issues seriously. If we mean what we feel, we should be taking action.
* George Bush chart: o Saturn approaching a square to progressed Jupiter – a need to take one’s thinking seriously and build a new foundation. He has Leo rising and Jupiter rules the 5th, decisions he has made could be based on this Leo. Leo doesn’t like to apologize; won’t culminate this year but is going on.o Neptune in the 3rd house can be creative and imaginative or believe untruths. Neptune rules his 8th and 9th – other people’s power/legislature issues within next 10 months. Saturn transiting Venus indicates loneliness. o Mar 3 – eclipse at 13 Virgo will be close to his Mars at 9 Virgo and progressed Sun at 11 Virgo. o Between April 11 – Jul 10 his popularity may sink lower -- Neptune opposite Venus (rules 4th – his home base); most critical time of year.o Aug 28 – eclipse at 4 Pisceso Oct 19 – progressed Neptune square natal Neptune from mid-Oct to mid-Nov, He may feel perplexed about what decisions to make; could also be something Neptunian going on in Nature and he doesn’t know what to do.o Jan 8 – Jupiter transiting Neptune – a lack of good judgment; in conflict with others judgement.


* U.S. charts – First Congress vs Sibleyo Difficult to decide which chart should be the “real” U.S. Chart

* Dates from First Congress Chart:
Jan 1, 2007o Feb 4 – Saturn opposite Venus (children, ego) – strong public conflict with goals. Saturn rules 7th, Venus rules intercepted 11th and 5th; could feel we have a heavy burden and not reaching our goals.
Jupiter square Sun –unrealistic expectations; Saturn opposite Venus and Mars in 9th – fatigue, tired of situation, Mars by solar arc went into Libra 2 months ago at the time the legislature changed.
o Feb 15 – great release of tension and feeling of a burden lifted, a sudden awakening of people.
o Mar 3 – eclipse opposite Sun conjunct Midheaven – should be a very surprising time and go on for a year.
o Mar 18 – 28 Pisces eclipse – occurred last year at 29 Pisces – the country is having a crisis, i.e. the need to make a choice
o Mar 1 – Pluto stations Sagittarius. Pluto rules intercepted 5th located in the 8thh, gamble of taxpayers money, of other people cooperating. Pluto goes into Capricorn in a couple of years; could have something serious to deal with.
o May 12 – nodes transit Saturno May and June – a serious time regarding deceptions for the publico Late Aug 07 may be critical – Saturn opposite Mars and progressed Moon

o 2nd house Mercury ? Uranus by Solar Arc conjoins Pluto – a total changeo Transiting Saturn will oppose the Moon in summer 07 – taxes, others imposing will on the people, depression for the country
o Mars went into retrograde last summer for first time in U.S. history; was in Libra the sign of war. Libra rules the 7th – open enemies; perhaps public looking at war differently
