TRANSIT URANUS, MORALES AND MICE

As a Sagittarian I will have Uranus square Sun this year, for the second time. The first hit was a close encounter with a little mouse in the house (SHRIEK!@#$). They say that the final hit is the worst one. Maybe then it will be a BIG mouse!?:) Uranus is for adrenaline...And in a few days time Mitt Romney will have T Uranus conjunct natal Sun. What little mouse will make HIM jump at the couch?

I have several examples of the intense force of a Uranus transit and of the position of Uranus on the MC or on top (square Ascendant) in an event chart. Whatever happens with transit Uranus, it will be a surprise and it might be shocking to yourself or others. In a big way, when you are a public figure. And sometimes in a tiny way when you are a simple astrologer, blogging. Maybe doing that is enough adrenaline and Uranus does not want to make it worse?:)

EXPERIENCES
I have seen several examples of the effect of transit Uranus in the charts of public figures. Most of the time they make news, often it is not pleasant news. Today's example is the transit of URANUS square the progressed Sun of Evo Morales. Over 60% of the population of Bolivia supports his policy. But his greatest enemies stay in function...And maybe that caused the same shock as seeing a mouse running in your living room. Evo Morales was born October 26, 1959 in Bolivia, time unknown. Reyes, his enemy (born April 20, 1954), has his Mars conjunct the Saturn of Morales, like a nail on a coffin. Uranus produces adrenaline...

A LIST OF URANUS
In 2006 I noted for Uranus on my site Astromarkt:
- Uranus conjunct MC at the moment that an ice hall in Germany collapsed and
- Uranus conjunct MC at the moment of a bomb in Israel
( In history see the chart of the atomic bomb on Hiroshima with Uranus on top, square Ascendant).
- Revelations, like those about Einstein and his affairs with women, in the news when transit Uranus crossed his MC.
- T Uranus square, opposition or inconjunct (progressed) Sun for Dutch 'top' criminal Willem Holleeder and George Michael at the time of their arrest and for Dave Brown at the time of the trial. Transit Uranus was square the Sun of the Israelian minister Katsav when he was being accused of undesired intimacies. And Litvinenko had both Uranus and Pluto in aspect with his Sun when his life was in danger and his skin changed dramatically.
- T Uranus conjunct the Sun of an entertainer with a secret affair.
- A Dutch minister had to quit because of an affair caused by others, when he had Transit Uranus sesquisquare Sun.
- A Dutch television personality had progressed Sun conjunct Uranus when she had a car accident.
- Transit Uranus inconjunct progressed Sun of Madonna accompanied the discussed adoption of an African child (together with T Saturn semi square progressed Sun).
- There was an exciting transit of Uranus conjunct the Sun of Daniel Craig during the release of his first James Bond.
- Transit Uranus square Sun in 2006 was what the Belgian Prince Laurent had, when it became known that he used marine funds to decorate his apartment.
- Sun-Uranus afflictions Uranus afflicted the Ascendant of Robin Williams and also the Ascendant of Günther Grass when something out of the past became news.
- And with Transit Uranus conjunct Venus a Dutch author became a centerfold in Playboy.

PERSONAL EXPERIENCES
So I had expected more than just one little mouse. There is another chance for Uranus to make me shake on the 2nd of October (my natal Sun, square) or later in October, on the 16th (square Progressed Ascendant and inconjunct both Pluto and Neptune). Last time T Uranus was opposition the midpoint of Neptune/Pluto I had a very very minor surgery on my foot, when the aspect was exact. Uranus is in Pisces (like my Ascendant is) so that fits! BTW, have I mentioned before that in my chart exact transits and progression have made me a fan of tight aspects, yet?

THE BIRTH CHART OF MITT ROMNEY who might be McCain's vice-president

Mitt Romney seems to be the best Republican candidate for the vice-presidency. Rumors say that McCain will soon announce his appointment. Within 3 days, transit Uranus will be exactly conjunct his Sun and semi square the MC with transit Neptune square Jupiter. As Uranus is the ruler of the Midheaven in Romney's chart, it will be days of crucial importance, whatever he decides to do.

Romney was, like McCain, a candidate for the Republican Party. On February 7 Mitt Romney stopped the race. That was with Transit Saturn inconjunct his Midheaven and opposition Mars. Also transit Jupiter was inconjunct Pluto. I mentioned at the time that distances of 150 degrees (inconjunction or quincunx) tell us to 'give up on something'. That is mostly provoked by a misbalance. In February Saturn was at a very low spot in his chart. Now Saturn has passed the 'deep valley' of the IC and is climbing upwards again.

Romney has several angular (crucial) placements. Venus, Pluto, Moon and Jupiter are conjunct the cross of the chart.
a. Mars is on top, calling and oriental for the entrepreneur.
b. Venus (diplomacy, charm and talents) on the Midheaven.
c. Pluto (politics, strategy) on the IC.
c. Moon and Jupiter (popularity and support) on the Descendant.

We see the potentials of success and popularity and the financial axis on the meridian. If we take Ceres seriously (and why would we not?) Ceres is rising before the Sun and important in his life. Ceres is the symbol of nutrition, inheritance and agriculture. I think Ceres also has something to say about following into the footsteps of a parent. I read that Romney's father was a business executive and former Governor of Michigan. He idolized his dad (says Astrodatabank).

In the astrological profile of USA presidents I often found Moon-Jupiter aspects. Romney has the
Moon conjunct Jupiter (exactly, within 3 minutes of orb). What he does not have (and most of the others do have) is the combination of Mercury, Saturn and Pluto for the 'chess player''s mind.

With 50% of his placements in water signs, Romney is likely to be a loyal person. The Venus-Saturn opposition of McCain is in close aspect with Romney's Sun, their Moons 'get along' and Romney's Jupiter is sextile the Moon of McCain. But his Mars is opposition McCain's Sun. And that might be a reminder for those days that Romney was fighting to become the candidate that McCain is today. Also McCain's Sun is inconjunct Romney's Midheaven, so that there might be a mismatch between the leadership of John McCain and the goals of Mitt Romney. And yes, he gave up and John McCain became the leader:)

Today, McCain's Pluto is conjunct the progressed Ascendant of Romney and his Moon on the progressed Ascendant of Romney.

In my post about the charts of Obama and McCain, dated July 6, 2008, I wrote about McCain:

"Mr. McCain did not become a general, like his father and grandfather. But he is ambitious (Moon in Capricorn), obsessively (Sun quindecile - 165 d - Saturn). And the tightest aspect in his chart is Moon opposition Pluto. I suppose that he is very demanding and not easily to be persuaded. His experiences in situations of danger of course changed his personality in a dramatic way."

His strong personality (Moon-Pluto) is right now pushing the progressed horizon of Mitt Romney. Maybe he is trying to persuade him to be his second man?

ASTROLOGY OF MEETING and GETTING TO KNOW EACH OTHER.
People meet or get to know each other at the moment that they share the same kind of situation or period in their life. Both partners are at the same time searching for happiness or are sharing a good or bad moment and that 'connects' them. At least, you would think so when you see their progressed charts!

SATURN AND THE BIRHT CHART OF RUUD GULLIT now theat he leaves LA Galaxy

Saturn is the symbol of the end, the departure, the good-bye, the misfortune, mistakes and all other disadvantages and tests in a human life. Only with a beautiful trine of Saturn or with other very good aspects, Saturn might offer you respect, stability or a step upwards in your carreer. Transit Saturn has now ended the American dream of Dutch coach Ruud Gullit. Ruud Gullit stepped back and is not longer the coach of LA Galaxy.

Transit Saturn is now semi square his Progressed Sun and conjunct his natal Sun and Pluto AND opposition his natal Jupiter. He experiences that his club (Los Angeles Galaxy) has not been able to win the last 7 games. And that is it. Ruud Gullit has given 'personal reasons' for leaving.

He started his American adventure on November 8. At the time I wrote on my Dutch blog 'Astrokrant:
'Ruud Gullit (born September 1, 1962, unknown time) is leaving for the USA to become the coach of Los Angeles Galaxy. This happens with Saturn conjunct his Sun and opposition Jupiter. Saturn points great responsabilities (and maybe a heavy load or mortgage). In his chart you see literally the advantage of this on the other side (the opposition with Jupiter).'

Now Saturn returned (after retrograding) and then hit Pluto.

WE ARE UNIQUE thanks Jupiter!

Our solar system seems to be rare. Solar systems like ours can only be if it takes just as much time for the the protoplanetary disc to get thin as it takes for the first giant planet to be shaped. According to calculations by computer, such a situation is rare. It takes giant planets to enable 'earths'. That means that we cannot leave this place:) And that we are real lucky to have Jupiter around. Maybe that is why in astrology the symbol of Jupiter means 'to succeed'?

THE CHART OF THE PRESIDENT OF GEORGIA, SAAKASJVILI

In January this year I wrote about the president of Georgia (on my Dutch site Astrkrant.blogspot.com). That was because he had been elected and because his wife is Dutch (just like I am). Now that there is a war going on and Russia intervented, it might be interesting to have another look at his chart. Above you see his positions and those of his Dutch wife on the outside. Just like at the time of the elections, transit Pluto is now conjunct his his Sun and square Uranus. It is a hectic transit, pointing at possible revolutions and arrests. That is why I wrote this in January (quick translation:)

"Michail Saakasjvili - like his wife Sandra - has Neptune oriental. His Sun is square Zero Aries. And Zero Capricorn is right in the middle of their Suns. It measn that they will experience transit Pluto conjunct their Suns this year.

That (Pluto conjunct Sun) is a big challenge, it might include danger and it will change their lifes! I think that the results of the elections will have something to do with it in the first place. Because today*) transit Pluto is conjunct Saakasjvili's Sun and square his Uranus. That is just like in his solar return! This combination (Sun-Uranus-Pluto) is the recipe of major change in life (sometimes, BTW, in the shape of an attack or an arrest).

In the natal chart of the Georgian president the Sun is square Uranus (for the will to change the world), Jupiter is inconjunct Saturnus (for the advantages and disadvantages and vice versa). He is an idealistic man full of passion (Venus squre Mars). His opponents say that he wanted to change the country too fast, they suspect corruption and they think he is helping his friends to gain more than others. He silenced his opponents by destroying a television station. Yes, Pluto sure did his work well!:)

Sun, Mars and Zero Aries related to the midpoint Saturn/Pluto tells us that he is a 'die hard' and that the issue of political damage is a theme in his life. Mars with Saturn/Pluto regulary points at the danger of violence. In politics this combination warns for a heavy power struggle. Sun and Mars are prominent in his chart and that is why he became a leader and entrepeneur."
