Venus in Leo perfected the trine to Jupiter in Aries, while Mars in Virgo engaged in a trine with Pluto Rx in Capricorn and a sextile with Pallas Rx in Scorpio. This allowed us to use an approach that put us at the center of attention and gained new publicity by reaching more people with the intention to utilize our personal power through an intensified effort.
U.S. President Obama tried to convince the public that he’s in charge by addressing the nation from the Oval Office yesterday, thereby laying out a battle plan to break the “siege” from the oil spill. He seeks to pivot from defense to offense. “The one approach I will not accept is inaction.” “The one answer I will not settle for is the idea that this challenge is somehow too big and too difficult to meet.” – Those are his words, demonstrative of a person in power (Pluto and Scorpio connections – this archetype also refers to the oil [black gold, underground resource/treasure] and the power struggle for the oil company), of a confident leader, who’s knowing what he’s doing (Venus in Leo trine Jupiter in Aries). But does he really? – For eight weeks, the spill has seemed somehow too big and too difficult to meet as the president struggled to contain it while trying to demonstrate leadership, sympathy and anger. – This is the impression of a majority of the public and the reality of the situation – up til now the spill hasn’t been contained.
Meanwhile, Kevin Costner’s machines have been purchased by BP to help in their struggle with the free-flowing oil. Venus trine Jupiter plus Pluto-Scorpio aspects. Costner explained he was inspired to create an invention of this type after seeing the damage from the 1989 Exxon Valdez oil spill. He contributed more than $20 million to create it, and his brother Dan, a scientist, created the actual device. They teamed up with a former Department of Energy employee and joined forces with Ocean Therapy Solutions, a California-based company with a hub in Louisiana, and created their first machines about a decade ago. The company says its most advanced device can clean water at a rate of 200 gallons per minute. Last week Costner told a congressional committee, “It may seem an unlikely scenario that I’m the one delivering this technology at this moment in time, but from where I’m sitting, it is equally inconceivable that these machines are not already in place.” – You’re absolutely right about this, Mr. Costner! This statement should give us a lot to think about.
Tarot card of the day was the “6 of Swords”, which is a very positive card that implies that you’re moving your life out of turbulent waters towards goals and aspirations and are about to leave a difficult situation. Your difficulties are nearly over. This is the end of a hard time. I hope thats true for the oil spill and cleaning efforts. It could suggest that Mr. Costner’s machines will indeed make a huge difference in this struggle and save the situation and this could also have a major impact on President Obama’s standing. Yesterday evening I went to the “Night-Gallery” cafe in town, where I had a long and interesting as well as joyful conversation with Adele, my neighbor. A couple of hours later Ann from the post office came in with her husband Jeff, son and his girlfriend. Turns out Jeff is a ghost hunter (notice all the Pluto, Scorpio influence in the aspect pattern!). Anyway, I had a great time and Adele invited me to join her tonight when Angie from the herb store “The Current” will give a lecture on the usefulness of hemp. I’m truly looking forward to that – I’m so glad and happy that I met those people and hope to deepen our connection. It was a successful day when I also experienced my Mars return with Libra rising (social atmosphere) and Mars in the 10th house. 🙂 Moreover, it seems as though the yeast diet I’m following is moving me out of troubled waters.
