BUT AS THE WAVE REGAINS

AND COMES THUNDERING BACK

FROM THAT DISTANT PLACE

IT IS THOSE MIGHTY FOOTFALLS

OF THE RAM

THAT SHOWS US WHERE

THE NEW LIFE

DOES REALLY BE

IT IS HERE

 

 

Robert Mugabe is another leader who has held on to power with a dictatorial style of rule. Is he a Leo and if not why not? (see this blog July 23, 2007) In our earlier profiles of dictators we found a predominance of people with a Leo Sun thus making them hard to remove and giving them a no-surrender stability. But Robert Mugabe is different from Castro, Milosevic, Napoleon, Chavez, Musharraf, Clinton and others in that he was elected in a popular vote and was reelected by popular vote and re-elected again. In the cases of most Leo leaders they just took power as some sort of a right. As you will see below Robert Mugabe is a Pisces on an Aquarius cusp but if he had been a Leo it would have fit much easier with the Leo dictatorship thinking.

Robert Mugabe, February 21, 1924, (no time available) in Salisbury , Rhodesia that is now Harare , Zimbabwe . The first thing I looked for was the Leo connection but the only thing I could find was Neptune 18Leo40 retrograde. Yes Neptune is a strong planet and yes the retrograde singles it out for challenging energy transference but it is not enough for the Leo as dominant leader thinking. It is possible that with a time known he could have a Leo Rising Sign or possibly a Leo MC that would strengthen the Leo argument but that is speculation at this point.

On May 2, 2008 Saturn will turn Direct at 01Virgo41. Saturn turned retrograde December 20, 2007 at 08Virgo34. Saturn has played a role in the financial crisis that has rocked the USA and around the world. Saturn is control and Virgo is money. The money has been out of control. With Saturn going direct we can expect some relief but on April 2, 2008 Pluto turned retrograde at 01Capricorn09 adding a new complexion to the economics. Pluto will retrograde back into Leo by June 14 and will not turn direct until September 8 when it has reached 28Leo30. Pluto will re-enter Capricorn November 27, 2008.

Astrology cycles are often complicated by overlapping occurrences. On July 9, 2008 at 22Capricorn22 Jupiter goes retrograde thus adding to the economic complexities. Jupiter will stay retrograde until September 7, 2008 when it goes direct at 12Capricorn32. What we see here is two giant outer planets, Jupiter with size and Pluto with intensity both going Direct after a retrograde passage through Capricorn and perhaps for the first time in over a year the world economy will know where it stands. September the 7, 2008 also has the Sun in Virgo along with Saturn who is slowly making its almost three year passage through Virgo. A few days prior on September 3, 2008 both the Sun and Saturn are in conjunction at the 11th degree of Virgo.

The seeds for the world economic woes were nurtured in January 2007 when the Sun and Mercury were in Capricorn and were joined by Mars who spent 6 weeks moving through Capricorn stirring the pot. Mars left Capricorn February 26, 2007. In May 2007 Venus entered Cancer opposing Capricorn and like a full moon shone light on the brew. In June 2007 Mercury entered Cancer shining more light. In July 2007 the Sun entered Cancer and there was no hiding. In September 2007 Saturn entered Virgo and demanded it’s due. All throughout 2007 there were indicators of trouble as the Cancer and Capricorn Moons came around on a monthly basis.

April 14, 2008

March 4, 2008 Mars again entered Cancer and this time the tide was out as the full light shone on the bare books of Capricorn. Mars leaves Cancer, may 9, 2008 the very day that Jupiter goes retrograde in a cosmic game of rugby as the ball is handed to yet another player with its own set of rules and desire to score.

There will be a full moon at 3:30am this Sunday morning April 20, 2008. It is the 3 days (Thursday, Friday and Saturday) before the full moon that are the most sensitive. This has been astrological knowledge for ages but now it becomes somewhat official as NASA scientists become the discoverers.

“NASA-supported researchers have realized that strange things may be happening on the full Moon when it gets hit by Earth's magnetic tail.

Planetary effects are very similar to the Full Moon as the pressure and energy build as an aspect is approached. The pressure intensifies when one planet is approaching an aspect with another and the second planet is retrograde thus moving backwards into the aspect doubling the intensity.

Because a Taurus is a Taurus and not a Gemini they do not think for the sake of thought. They think in terms of obtaining luxury and then enjoying that luxury with leisure. You can only think so much when digging a ditch whether it is with a shovel or a back hoe. Taurus is the sign of hard work and as such seeks and dreams of leisure. But the practical Taurus understands that you have to work hard to have the leisure you want.

An excellent reference book is an Astrological Encyclopedia the one I use is The Astrology Encyclopedia by James R. Lewis Published 1994 by Visible Ink Press, 835 Penobscot Bldg., Detroit MI 48226-4094. This book is most likely out of print but Amazon should have a copy.

It is now time for the classic, Esoteric Astrology by Alice Bailey, Lucis Publishing Co., New York . This book will take you into the outer dimensions of Astrology. A must for every Astrologer. Some so Alice Bailey got it wrong but there are few astrologers on her level.
