Jude’s Threshold

Early this morning edt, I awoke to news of the resumption of activity for the Large Hadron Collider buried underneath the Swiss Alps. Guess no volcano lurks nearby nor is triggering earthquakes a remote possibility, so I won’t fret over their outrageous tests as they monkey with life’s building blocks. Pluto in Capricorn has this deep need to de-structure, you see.

After all, what’s the worst that can happen? Seriously, don’t ask me for I’ve quite studiously stayed away from articles and opinions on the subject.

But today is a new day for the LHC.

And since in Astrology, unpredictable planet Uranus is known to act or trigger events earlier or later than one might expect, the planet’s approach to Aries Point (Sun’s position in the zodiac at Spring Equinox) alerts us to expect bright ideas, revolutionary activities, and, for our purposes here – peculiar or unusual discoveries and scientific breakthroughs.

And of course, the Cardinal Cross (00 degrees Ari/Lib and Can/Cap) is sensitive on a worldwide scale and when transited (visited) or aspected (with the conjunction -0 degr- being the strongest) by a passing planet or planets, events of global implications tend to manifest. It can be quite a timing device.

By way of empirical observation, astrologers have seen that when transiting Uranus reaches AP during its 84-year cycle (orbit) a time of ‘scientific breakthroughs’ is heralded so hold on to your large collider, Myrtle, Science has more wonders in store.

And Astrology should do pretty well, too. Speaking of Astrology and Uranus in Aries…

Do you know that the recent International Astrology Day Blogathon 2010 is not just a one-off online event for March 19 – 21, but a permanent collection of articles concerning the ongoing Cardinal T-Square of difficult energies between Saturn, Uranus, and Pluto as they square and oppose one another?

If you haven’t checked out C. J. Wright’s Uranus in Aries: Claiming a Self-Reliant Future, you may wish to do so. C.J.’s article premiered during the Blogathon on Sunday, March 21, 2010, and contains useful info on how to deal over the next few years with issues and disruptions brought to us by unpredictable genius Uranus in pioneering, innovating Aries.

Why, perhaps it’s time you patented your brilliant invention!

Where American now treads? On you and me.

And if you’ve ever read my grousings online, here or @ Stars Over Washington, you may know that I consider America to be ‘my only nag in the race’ in spite of years of propaganda from our illusory ‘two-party system’ of government with its tiresome demonizing of the opposition at every turn…their win-at-any-costs political ideologies have helped sink us lower than kicked puppies under front porches – and are being perpetrated bwo their following of a long-planned NWO design.

Well, here’s an article that focuses on the financial crisis and then some, while it details more of what’s really issuing out of Washington than the average Democrat, Republican, tea partier, or militia woman cares to face or admit. To do so, one must put the ‘Ds vs Rs’ myth to rest where it belongs, and scoff at political shills like Sarah Palin as she attempts to whip up frantic support for a GOP sworn to undermine President Barack Obama (and America with him, if that’s what it takes. Besides, it’s NWO string-pullers who ultimately decide who will be US president, not Sarah Pallin worshipers, or other voters.)

Yet facing our demons so they can be identified and vanquished is all that will avail us during these difficult times. So if Washington politicians won’t take part in honest discussions about our problems (and from experience we know they won’t), then it’s up to us to uncover for ourselves and deal with the underbelly of greedy power-grabbing and deceit we’ve been scammed by through the decades.

As you may know, Tim Berners-Lee was first to publish a webpage to the World Wide Web, and you can still view a copy of the page here where you’ll see its time stamp ’14:56:20 GMT’ and read a rather dry text as texts go.

No over-the-line blogging on Politics involved in 1991!

August 6, 1991 @14:56:20 GMT, Geneva, Switzerland, gives 18Sco19 rising with wealthy Pluto 17Sco35 controlling the event. At Midheaven (the Why? Point of the chart) is @ 2Vir50, with Mercury 5:49, Venus 6:49 Rx, and Mars 13:40 in 10th house. In 9th house are Sun 13Leo34 and expansive Jupiter 22:01; it’s an Hour of pioneering Mars.

This technological innovation occurred just prior to the Great Conjunction/s of Uranus and Neptune (3 times through 1993 @ ’18Cap’ conjunct the North Node position in the first-ever webpage’s natal chart; the 3rd Uranus/Neptune Conjunction of Oct 24, 1993 marks the natal chart of the New World Order; ’18Cap’ = “The Union Jack Flies from a New British Destroyer,” with Sir Berners-Lee being of the British persuasion.)

So the first-ever webpage has very recently enjoyed a Nodal Return, a fortunate time when new associations may be entered into.

And you’ll be quite satisfied to know that the first-ever webpage was published under the influence of a brilliantly innovative Mercury/Uranus trine as Berners-Lee and others ‘grappled with special problems’ (Mercury/Saturn = Pluto) and implemented ‘far-reaching plans’ (Moon/Pluto = Mercury.)

However, considering the attacks which occur by the minute across the Web, and the onslaught of governmental desires to ‘police’ the web, spy on you and me, and charge for content, it behooves me to mention that the first-ever webpage chart will have its Secondary Progressed Full Moon @1Pis41 on June 9, 2010.

If this situation mimics the same Full Moon progression of the US natal chart (see sidebar to view chart), the World Wide Web’s urge for expansion may well be reached or limited this very year and contraction will soon be necessary – or imposed.

At the least, changes are coming such as broadband access (“over the next decade”) in order to free up frequencies to do just what, we don’t know – but Big Brother surveillance will become even easier than it is now with broadband.

In the August 6, 1991 chart, there’s an interesting midpoint picture involving two planets that are associated with the Web (as well as the NWO): Uranus and Neptune; NN = public contacts; nebulous Neptune is all about webs and networks, Uranus is all about genius, electricity, science, and technology.

Uranus/NN = Neptune: technological teamwork; a political association advocating reforms; meeting with people off the beaten path. (All midpts pics: Tyl, Ebertin, and Munkasey.) To me this sounds like the genius of physicists working hand in glove with politicians and their plutonian enablers.

The first online webpage of August 6, 1991 has as its Pre-Natal Eclipse Series, 11 South, which is in the same Series as the Solar Eclipse of July 22, 2009: ‘sudden reforms; old methods and ideas fail; new systems are required to cope with changes; any blocks could be violently or tragicaly removed. ‘ (Paraphrasing Brady’s ‘Predictive Astrology’.)

And I believe the 2009 Eclipse to be tied in by degree with another Solar Eclipse coming up on July 11, 2010, the 12 South (the PE of the USA) @ ’19Cancer’: ‘successful outcomes to long-term worries or illness; draining issues at first seem worse, then clear.’ (Brady.)

Yes, the July 11, 1991 Solar Eclipse was also @ ’19Cancer’ (July 11 then and now) which conjuncts Fixed Star, Castor, an evil influence, or at best, is an indicator of creative writers and authors having their say.

So has the World Wide Web been a positive influence on society since its start-up? Well, everyone has an opinion, but the 1991 chart yields more, fyi:

Rising in the above-noted chart for August 6, 1991 is Fixed Star, Zuben Eschemali @19Sco16 (’19Sco’ is traditionally considered an ‘evil degree of the accurs’ed sign’)…keywords for this Star: ‘negative social reform.’

Okay, now I’ve typed my peace…and the mop and broom of Spring Cleaning now awaits with the twinkling of a star, and I shall forcefully turn my back on webpages of all descriptions…for a while, at least.

Here’s an article that my friend Terry Burger has splashed onto FaceBook, and it details new studies which give lie to industry denials that high fructose corn syrup causes faster weight gain. So there, sassy food industry.

Now put down that syrup bottle, America! Easy to say, isn’t it?

Yet lack of fake syrup consumption is no cure-all because entirely deleting HFCS from one’s diet is made much more difficult by the abundant use of it in products and foods across the board as the industry sneaks in high fructose corn syrup in order to bump up flavors and cause (along with the inclusion of mace) irresistible food cravings.

Why, you’d almost think that the US food industry was Trying To Make Us Fat, now wouldn’t you?

On another note, today is Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi’s birthday and given all that’s going on on Capitol Hill of late, you may wish to read a few astro-details concerning her natal chart and Sun Aries/Moon Scorpio blend.

Blog Alert: it has come to my attention bwo a discriminating reader (see her comment below) that the marriage certificate for the Bullock-James wedding has been located and that their nuptials took place, not on July 16, 2005 as many sources state, but on July 14, 2005, in Texas and not in California.

If so, quite a number of news articles now online contain lovely fairytale details of a wedding that wasn’t there…at the reported hour, at least.

Therefore, I’ve just gone through the several articles I read or skimmed through when preparing the following post and am finding no updated mention of July 14, 2005, as of yet. Rather than deleting this post I shall let it stand for now, unreliable though the time/place may be, and see what develops.

Yes, the 2-day difference in wedding dates would, of course, change the sign of the Moon but not the Sun. Therefore, I leave it to you to decide whether you wish to read my original (apparently incorrect) article or not. JC

Original post begions here:

In a sunset ceremony on a ranch north of Santa Barbara, CA, Sandra Bullock and Jesse James were wed on July 16, 2005 under a circus-like tent full of family and friends.

The above paragraph begins my freshly published Page in the sidebar of ‘Wedding Day Astrology’ Reports. My Wedding Day Astrology list of couples has become semi-extensive (no such word, I guess, but there it is.)

So check out the sidebar to your left for info on the Bullock-James nuptials and marriage as seen through an astrological lens, or simply click directly, if you wish.

Economist Simon Johnson often makes sense to me when he speaks of financial things. Now there’s 13 Bankers, a book explaining how and why our financial system was sabotaged and what we can do about it.

Sad to say, it’s doubtful that financial system reformer Senator Chris Dodd has had a chance to read it yet.

Girl in Goggles sees ahead to the future…

Pardon my fancy post title, it’s my way of saying that here are two famous quotes that demonstrate two very different belief systems and two opposing world views:

“The lie can be maintained only for such time as the State can shield the people from the political, economic and/or military consequences of the lie. It thus becomes vitally important for the State to use all of its powers to repress dissent, for the truth is the mortal enemy of the lie, and thus by extension, the truth is the greatest enemy of the State.” Joseph Goebbels (1897 – 1945; Hitler’s Minister of Propaganda)

“I am not bound to win, but I am bound to be true. I am not bound to succeed, but I am bound to live by the light that I have. I must stand with anybody that stands right, stand with him while he is right, and part with him when he goes wrong.” Abraham Lincoln (US President and martyr)

Quotes are complimentary from the alternative news source Information Clearing House.

Everone has heard the admonition to Beware the Ides of March from ancient Roman days.

And perhaps apt comparisons between the Roman Empire and the current imperialistic American Empire make the Ides of March a date to be cautious of, I suppose. President Obama is on my TV now (C-SPAN) speaking in Cleveland, Ohio about health insurance reform and he’s getting loud applause and cheers from the audience. There’s no assassin in the wings, one assumes, to further tie the American Empire to that of ancient Rome!

Yet character assassination is a typical and constant political tactic gleefully used in America, isn’t it? Tiresome, especially because the American people need focused attention on real issues as never before.

Well, in 44 AD the March 15 assassination of Julius Caesar, who had moved to make himself ‘emperor for life’ (kind of like the deal our SCOTUS Justices enjoy) went forward successfully in spite of the warning which was, apparently, arrogantly disregarded.

Whether President Obama will seek a second term remains to be seen especially considering his remarks on the subject but that’s for future consideration. We do know there are people who hope he won’t even though he’s barely gotten started with term #1.

Even so, do chillax and check out the info on the Ides of March (based on the Roman calendar!) during the current ‘dark of the Moon’ in preparation for the New Moon, exact at 4:00 pm edt this afternoon @ ’26 Pisces’…”A New Moon Divides That Its Influences.”

Here’s Marc Edmund Jones’ interpretation for ’26Pisces’: “FINESSE…

positive manifestation: a thoroughgoing capitalization on life’s transitions and an effective development of every emerging potentiality of self;

negative/unconscious/shadow side: a completely disruptive vacillation.”

Hmmm…sounds to my ear like the President may be successful with his health insurance reform initiative after all in spite of the Republican Party’s disruptive vacillation.

As to Senator Chris Dodd’s reputed unveiling today of the financial reform bill that he and Senator Bob Corker have been slogging over for months, I’d say that the dark of a New Moon is not a good time to reveal something new. In fact, it’s often a time when sneaky things are afoot yet I hope something is finally done to police the financial industry’s ‘creative’ bookkeeping and bring the greedy titans of Wall Street down to earth with the rest of us.

Update March 16, 2010: Well, few seem ready to try or send Tim Geithner to jail over financial improprieties according to the results of this poll so far. But you, lone reader, may still vote if you wish, and leave a comment if you will!

The cat’s out of the bag! As it turns out, former NY-Fedster Timothy Geithner knew very well that Lehman Brothers’ were ‘cooking the books’ and engaging in massive amounts of fraud prior to their controversial bankruptcy filing by using ‘creative bookkeeping’ and such.

Here’s an article by Mike Whitney detailing the shortcomings of Treasury Secretary Timothy Geitner and you may wish to check it out before you cast your vote.

In fact, I’d recommend reading it anyway, poll or no poll. Feel free!
