"Presidential Candidate and Representative Dennis Kucinich (D-OH) announced yesterday that he would file articles of impeachment against vice president Dick Cheney. The charges are among the most serious ever contemplated under either domestic or international law." Details at http://www.alternet.org/story/51043/

A quick astro-analysis shows that transiting Pluto’s involved…

For Mr. Kucinich: transiting Pluto is sesquare natal Pluto from the 9th house of foreign affairs and legal matters, ruling the 8th house of financial obligations. The matter is likely to be a challenge not only to Mr. Kucinich’s ideology (Sagittarius) but also his bank account. The same transiting Pluto sesquares Mr. Cheney’s Ascendant r and semisquares his Descendant. He is likely to feel “in the hot seat“, and this can affect his relationship to the public. Mr. Kucinich’s natal Pluto is conjunct Mr. Cheney’s Ascendant -- Mr. Kucinich is likely to be motivated to bring change and transformation into Mr. Cheney’s life and self-image.

For Mr. Cheney: On the 22.5 degree dial, Pluto = Asc r = Sun r = Uranus t = Ne/Pl r = Mo/Ma r = Su/Ma t = Ve/Ma t : This can show sudden change or excitement, growing tensions in the environment related to a stimulus or surprise from a humanitarian man (or one considered to be a rebel), potential argument and a tendency to put up a strong defense. Uranus t in Pisces in the 8th trines his natal Neptune in Scorpio, showing that a strategy of listening to the humanitarian and spiritual ideals of others can benefit him at this time. He could overcome problems associated with scandal that way. As Pluto will conjunct Mr. Cheney’s Vertex, Mercury, Sun and North Node after it moves into Capricorn, he should prepare to roll with the punches -- the government, particularly the conservative element, may be thoroughly investigated and their transgressions may be brought to light in a way that affects Mr. Cheney personally. He may be able to defend himself well -- he has a grand trine in earth there with Sun, Midheaven and Jupiter.

For Mr. Kucinich: Pluto t separates by 4 degrees from sextile to Jupiter r showing that his spiritual will has been focused for some time. Although he may seem set in his beliefs, he has been working on his ideals and is ready to implement change. On the 30 degree dial, Pl = Ju r = NN/Pl r -- this is likely to bring change and potential challenge to relationships and group activities.

Mr. Kucinich also has Mars t square North Node r, which can show debates or awareness of differences of opinion within groups, organizations or associations brought together for a purpose. Mars t is also applying to semisextile his natal Ascendant and inconjunct his Sun, setting off his Sun-Ascendant opposition. Discord between associates, polarity, polemics are potentials. As the natal Sun is in Libra, and Venus trines that Sun, Mr. Kucinich’s quintessential motivation in the matter is likely to be peacemaking. The disagreement may be a case of Libra’s famous characteristic, the “iron fist in the velvet glove” at work.

Mr. Cheney has Saturn t square Mars r -- plans could be postponed, requiring extra effort or work, or even going awry. Possible responses could be a sense of the doldrums, being especially patient, or feeling potentially frustrated.

Pluto t = Sun/Mars r in both charts -- there may be some macho posturing, ambition, desire for immediate results, tendency to argue or assert and not to back down readily on both of their parts. At this time, both may be inclined to go on the attack.

It should be an interesting scrap. Pluto can win the opposition over in a number of ways, not the least of which is to appeal to expediency, but he doesn’t always give up easily in a fight for control. He also plans, strategizes and uses group synergy to accomplish goals.

In keeping with my interest in the peace process, I'm showcasing an astrobiography of Donovan Leitch, activist for peace and gifted songwriter/artist. If you're interested, take a look under the Essays tab at www.Timesmithing.com

Well, Jennywitch finally made her transition. As I've said elsewhere, this is probably a good thing, because she was really done with that body and deserves a vehicle that adequately expresses her inner beauty. I would say I will miss her, but she's already sent me a clairaudient message saying that she'll be back. So, we're waiting for her return. We can certainly put her wisdom and common sense to good use at Learning Light again.

In December 2006 I predicted for the U.S. chart: "...If we place the Capricorn Ingress Chart for Washington, D.C. around the outside of the Sibley Chart for the United States, we find transiting Mars rising in Sagittarius square transiting Uranus in Pisces in the 3rd house – indicating potential expansionist and martial tendencies in foreign policy utilizing advanced technology and perhaps air vehicles – with humanitarian motives. Propaganda, education and aid may be employed to further our strategies overseas. If conflict is called for, the USA is not likely to back down. The country is also prone to make use of advanced equipment and aerospace technology in pursuit of its energetic, expansionist global policies... Some midpoints indicate that leadership will fight for peace and seek peaceful cooperation among superpowers. This dovetails with expectations of new results stemming from a stronger democratic influence in the elected government...There may be much communication...peace talks, thoughts and opinions related to others' freedom..."

"WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The U.S. House of Representatives on Friday voted to impose a September 1, 2008, deadline for withdrawing all American combat troops from Iraq, prompting a quick veto promise from President George W. Bush..."The American people do not support a war without end and neither should this Congress," said House Speaker Nancy Pelosi of California, calling the Iraq war "a grotesque mistake."...The narrow margin of the vote was far short of what Democrats would need to override any presidential veto...Debate now shifts to the Senate, which could vote as early next week on its version of the war-spending bill. Senate Democrats have crafted slightly different timetables for removing troops from Iraq. Under their plan, which Republican leaders oppose, the Pentagon would begin withdrawing troops no later than four months after enactment of the legislation. The measure sets a "goal," not a requirement, of finishing a withdrawal by March 31, 2008..."One of the things that accounted for this result," said Massachusetts Democrat Barney Frank, "is that public opinion has continued to move. ... People are very anti-war." These statements dovetail with transiting Mars in Sagittarius rising square transiting Uranus in Pisces in that people are more likely to become activists for peace (and other ideals) instead of passively watching and waiting. Since Uranus falls in the U.S. 3rd house, much discussion and writing are likely.

Sat Mar 24, 2007 (Reuters) "...Israel and the United States have recently shown some interest in the Arab peace plan and Rice told reporters on Friday the Arab governments could help by adding an element of active diplomacy. She did not make specific proposals. She also suggested Arab governments take steps toward conciliation with Israel before an Israeli-Palestinian peace agreement is complete. Their peace plan offers normal relations with Israel after Israel and the Palestinians make peace."

I didn't predict the following, but right now transiting Mars is conjunct transiting Neptune and opposite transiting Saturn. This can indicate a major turning point in connection with oil initiatives, particularly as they relate to aggression, and a conservative policy to create limits.

Fri Mar 23, 2007 (Reuters) "Catching the wave of rising U.S. focus on energy independence, a new website has set out to tell U.S. motorists where they can fill up without having to worry that the proceeds will "finance terrorism by importing oil from the Middle East." The website -- www.terrorfreeoil.org -- identifies oil companies deemed to use home-grown oil supplies from the United States and Canada rather than the Middle East -- including Amerada Hess, Sunoco Inc., and Sinclair Oil...the first U.S. station to sell certified "terror-free" gasoline recently opened at 12901 Q Street in Omaha, Nebraska, with "terror-free" grades of premium, super and regular unleaded gasoline grades marked on the pump... U.S. politicians including President George W. Bush say they want motorists to use more home-grown fuels like ethanol to replace imports from Middle East suppliers...The idea has taken hold with U.S. industry, which sees it as a way to promote growing use of ethanol, made from corn or other non-food sources like switchgrass. "Why should we be sending dollars to Mideast terrorists when we can send them to rural America," said Vinod Khosla, a well-known Internet entrepreneur and co-founder of computer server maker Sun Microsystems Inc.. "We should not be hostage to the Mideast."

2/23/2007 Today is an important day for me. My progressed Mercury has been Retrograde since 12/14/1982. It went direct today. I've been looking forward to this for over 25 years. I've experienced both the plus and the minus sides of Mercury Rx in a water sign during this Time Window:

1. After the Rx station I relocated out of state, lost contact with many friends, mentors and loved ones, found myself doing psychic readings for a living, participated in spontaneous healings, and had many powerful visions and lucid dreams. Instead of functioning in a normal social, business and intellectual environment, I was among idealistic, intuitive and telepathic peers, in a traditional culture mostly unfamiliar to me. And, I stopped traveling long distances, except for when I returned to California.

2. I had one foot in the physical world and one foot in the heavens. I became familiar with the "inner planes": the astral, mental, causal and buddhic planes. I continued to remember previous lives, and remembered the plane I lived on before this incarnation. I was contacted by my trusty and helpful guides, by the Master Jesus and Lady Mary, by Lady Quan Yin, by the Lady Isis and Horus, by Apollo, Aphrodite, Zeus, Hermes, and Pluto, by angels and archangels, and by departed spirits (which was fascinating, although sometimes scary). I had a multi-dimensional near-death experience that taught me what is waiting for me when I finally do pass on, so that I no longer worry about what might happen. And, I found myself going over my astrological studies and narrative research, making notes and many revisions that would later become the foundation for a book about how astrology works. For three years, because my perceptions were not reliable, I traveled via public transportation, learning many wonderful and not so wonderful things about the transforming culture, a melting pot for folk from other countries looking for opportunity and excitement. And, as Mercury is ruler of the sign on the cusp of my 2nd house, I learned to live on a strict budget.

3. As Mercury became stationary and prepared to go direct, subtle shifts in perception began to happen. I found myself working on the astrology book and realizing it is coming together nicely and will be informative and interesting. I was approached by a publisher (and am still taking offers). I heard from an old friend who lives in Tibet and India and works near the Dalai Lama with whom I had been out of touch. I started this web page/blog. I suddenly and surprisingly became interested in studying the astrology of politics, which I had previously avoided like the plague. I began writing to my Representative, to Senators and Congresspersons, and to the Governor, about world peace initiatives, the U.S. Department of Peace Bill, and the plight of the homeless. Professional astrologers began to contact me again, and my correspondence increased.

I am hoping that my health will improve now. And, I will continue to keep you informed of the changes.

Love&Light, Misty Day, C.A.P.

I've begun editing my new book, "The Timesmithing Method of Astrological Prediction" - (working title). It outlines with detailed examples how to analyze event charts, an essential step in mastering predictive methods. If you are interested in being informed when it is published, I'll put you on my mailing list. Just let me know at Timesmithing@Juno.com.

Hi Y'all:

With transiting Saturn conjunct natal Pluto in my natal 4th house (the home) applying by 39', triggered by transiting Sun, which was also trine natal Sun by about 3 degrees (Sun rules Leo on my 4th cusp), two plumbers snaked out my bathtub drain to relieve a serious clog that had bunged up the works, leaving a foot of standing, sludgy water in the tub. Pluto is said to rule the colon, analogous to the dark, smelly, mysterious drainpipe. Pluto also rules penetrating interventions that release blockages, both physical and psychological. And, Saturn rules blockages. It also is in my natal 6th house (workers) in Scorpio (again the colon). And, transiting Saturn is at the midpoint of natal Neptune/Pluto. Neptune rules water. Furthermore, there were other active midpoints showing: "persistent in applying one's knowledge and experience, [to be] circumspect, matter-of-fact, focused, get to the root of matters, suited to specialized work...proceeding systematically, able to perform difficult work well, needing to work on problems" ... "Harmonious cooperative work teams + apartments" + "Professional activities in private - Work involving dirt - Work on situations needing correction or reparation" - which describes the plumbers and what they were doing very well.

"On January 13, Comet McNaught will lie just .17 Astronomical Units from the Sun. Compare that to Mercury's orbit of .38 AU. Comet McNaught will then shoot "downward" into the Southern Hemisphere skies as it is flung out of the interior portion of the solar system...Comet McNaught has been brightening dramatically as it heats up near the Sun. It has turned into the brightest comet in thirty years. It is currently at about magnitude -2. See: http://astronomyspace.suite101.com/article.cfm/comet_mcnaught_p1_nears_the_sun

Here is a little bit about the astrological influence of comets. They are considered to be messengers from another realm, bringing new information to our solar system, qualified by the sign/degree/house position through which we experience them, like a lens. The degree symbol is pertinent, and in this case, the degree of the comet-Sun conjunction. That degree will be important in coming years, so you might want to make a note of it (see below) and see where it appears in your chart and what are the aspects to it.
The fact that Comet McNaught (named after the man who discovered it) is very near the Sun is interesting and may indicate that the message it is bringing is connected to the Solar Logos, or Word, that informs and orders our solar system. This is likely to produce a very strong current of creative, magnanimous energy providing inspiration for leadership and accomplishment and energizing people in leadership positions. The Sun is also a channel for Divine Love, art and beauty, so we can expect some romantic and artistic results as well.

On January 13, the Sun was at the 24th degree of Capricorn. The Degree Symbol is: **A woman entering the sure haven of a [spiritual sanctuary or convent].** Protective kindness of life and of the cultivated elements of society to fulfill hearts. Quiet spiritual undercurrent of existence. Timely rest and retreat for the goodness of the soul. Assistance, peace, tranquillity, protection. Ashram. Can be a family grouping, but it is usually a group of special friends and spiritual companions sharing resources, knowledge, playtime, sometimes worktime, and perhaps lodgings, in a routine, kindly manner. (see footnote for a result in my life)**

Also, the Sun at the time of the conjunction is opposite the fixed star Pollux and square to Spica. Pollux is associated with the (sometimes painful) process of learning and discovering. It shows the artist who is growing and stretching, perceiving many nuances, facing reality with a keen eye and a discerning wit. Pollux is famed as a boxer, although mental and verbal boxing may be more to the point, usually accompanied by humor. These people may appear to be more ingenuous and childlike than they really are.

One of the great stars of the sky, Spica is the wheat sheaf held by he thousand-named Isis [our Christian Mary]. Spica represents the gift of this graceful, patient, kind and gentle protector-goddess. Spica represents the goddess' gift of new knowledge and gives a potential for brilliance to any chart it touches (although there still may be an agrarian component, or a 'green thumb' talent for gardening).
There is usually the gift of storytelling, fantasy and metaphor, which can nourish the soul as wheat can nourish the body, as well as providing the practical theme of an oral tradition which spans the generations and gives meaning to the continuity of the species. This star can be associated with teaching as well as apportionment and allottment of resources and funds, and an unbreakable succession of cultivated protectors and protectresses. She may be associated with spiritual retreats and enclaves, farms, hospitals and temples where emphasis is placed on well-being, goodwill, and nurture. Spica persons are very good at engaging the resources and cooperation of mentors and supporters and helping to bring social and cultural improvement. Fund-raising, advertisement, art developed for compassionate and responsible ends, and public service are her hallmarks. Those whom she has blessed tend to be dutiful, well-liked, and can be spunky on occasion. Fame, riches, success, love of art and knowledge, with a bright, unselfish compassion. There are many successful and positive social activists with this star prominent.


** - On that very day, my friend John came up to me at the Learning Light Psychic Fair in Anaheim, and talked about spiritual groups forming all over the world and people living together in cooperative houses to facilitate their development. That rang a note of interest for me because I think it is a way out of the rat race for people who want to live closer to the divine realms, and practice yoga and other spiritual disciplines. That is what the New Age is developing - soul groups forming and cooperating to bring the divine Plan to consummate completion on the physical level.
