What an Astro Scoop!!! Update on Angelina Jolie Unraveled

Talk about reforms!!  On Friday Tiger Woods apologized, then Jon Voight, the long-estranged father of Angelina Jolie, shows up in Venice, Italy over the weekend to meet the Jolie-Pitt clan!  Photographers nabbed Voight on his way home at LAX on Sunday.  By Monday a barage of photographs were online depicting an outing of the Jolie-Pitt clan with Grandpa Voight via a Venice Water Taxi. To see the pictures, go to: http://www.radaronline.com/photos/image/47405/2010/02/angelina-jolie-reunites-dad. You may recall that several years ago Voight made a heinous public faux pas saying his daughter Angelina had “serious mental problems.”

Nude’s 2-Cent Aside: Daah! Dad! If you weren’t around, what did you expect. There’s a couple of books the world would like to share with you about the devastation daughters experience when Dad has flown the chicken coop. Can we drop the insensitivity here!

So that YOU understand the dynamics at play here let’s begin with the fact that Jon Voight is also the father of actor James Haven. This makes James Haven the biological brother of Angelina Jolie.   Rumor has it that the two are very close.  Also, it needs to be said that Jon Voight’s divorce from Angelina’s Mom (Marcheline Bertrand), required Mom to fess up to the kids.  Her claim was that Dad cheated. Angelina, being the good daughter, never doubted Mom. So, many years ago the seeds of estrangement between father and daughter were set.

In an earlier post on Roses, Chocolates, Toxic Friends and Angelina Jolie Unraveled (http://wp.me/pJyvs-59 ), I told you that one of Angelina’s most toxic associations was within her family and for the rest of her life she would have to deal with a Benedict Arnold in the bloodline. I showed you her lifelong cross to bear with Saturn in the decan of Pluto, Cancer and the possibility that a relative may really be an enemy via the Arabic Part of Enemies. Well, if Angelina, Brad or one of her non-toxic friends DOESN’T read the blogs by the Nude Provocateuse call me a…

When the Downer Happens to Be Dad…

Yet, even though Florence Isaacs, the author of Toxic Friends/True Friends recommends ditching the downers, how does one totally ditch their Dad? Lucky for Angelina, Brad was there with the adhesive to mend fences. He was the one who encouraged Angelina to try again with her famous father because he thought Voight “deserved a second chance.” To read more go to: http://www.nydailynews.com/gossip/2010/02/24/2010-02-24_brad_pitt_and_actor_james_haven_helped_plan_reunion_between_angelina_jolie_and_f.html#ixzz0gTj0nUSAlso, you can read the entire article by Florence Issacs at:

The Hunt for a Rumor Source

Check out this quote: “The visit actually went really well, and Angie’s thrilled he got on really well with all her kids,” the source told E! “She’s grown up a lot, and forgiving Jon is a huge step.”

After reading the Gossip quote, I’m sure you’ll agree that the source sounds like a close relative.  Could this be James Haven himself!?!  It’s been alleged that he and Brad worked on this re-union. The good news is that the news I allege James offered is not hideous. The bad news is that the type of info James may have offered doesn’t sell tabloids. Sadly, he probably doesn’t get many direct calls from rags like News of the World.

So, let’s get a grasp on what may have happened here.  Let’s say six weeks ago James Haven called his Dad Jon Voight.  Dad get’s an update from son about daughter.  Later, Dad has a few drinks with close friends and a slip of the old vodka tongue causes him to blurt out a sentence or two about Angelina and Brad.  His tone is filled with all the anomosity that’s been brewing for years.  He even adds his fears that the relationship will sour – for this reason and that – just like his marriage with her Mom (Marcheline Bertrand).  The hired help at the Voight home in the guise of Butler/Hostess/Server over hears this slurred yet audible blurt and runs to the backyard, pulls out their cell phone and calls News of the World! Butler/Hostess/Server receives check and the snowball of gossip about divorce, Angelina and Brad not being seen together, and Brad going back to his ex-wife Jen begins.

Nude’s 2-Cent Aside: Do you think as I do that after Angelina and Brad filed a lawsuit against News of the World the truth of who really leaked the dirt about divorce came out?  Do you think Brad was more than mildly shocked that the source was his father-in-law?

An Unwitting Enemy

As you can see, poor James looks like the enemy for saying something in the first place. What’s up with James?  He knew his Dad was still steaming about being snubbed by his superstar daughter.

With all due respect to Brad, we saw a masterful move to help the love of his life reform her relationship with Dad Jon Voight and curtail a possible rumor source. It may have worked! Jon Voight declined to comment even though he was barraged by reporters at LAX upon his return. Say, he hadn’t had a state-side Vodka Martini yet!!!

Did Brad’s Idea Work?

Let’s dwelve into the truth a little more. Below is the Desire for Reforms eclipse chart for Venice, Italy; the Transit Chart for Venice dated Sunday, February 22 at 7:45 pm, and Angelina Jolie’s Birth Chart. The Desire chart is on the inner wheel, the Transit Chart is in the middle wheel and Angelina’s Birth Chart is on the outer wheel. Now let’s ask the question: Did it work?  To see a larger view of the chart below, just click once in the middle of the image.

Many thanks to a reader who called in with a correction on Angelina Jolie's birth time. Also the eclipse chart was tweaked.

But, hold on folks, Angelina’s not out of the woods yet. Sometime in late summer or early fall 2010, Saturn will start nearing Angelina’s Pluto. The Toxic Friends will be back and this time with a humdinger. Rest assured, the Nude Provocateuse will be here with the cloak and dagger astro interpretations at your service.

Say, I’m still working on that Bi-quintile Report. The aspect will be exact tomorrow.

Peace!

Sex, Chaos, Lies, Divorce: The Opposition and What’s Up with Dennis Hopper?

On the eve of the Sun’s opposition to the July 21, 2009 Desire for Reforms Eclipse, the dark side of the Obama Administration was slowly being revealed. In a new book “Game Change” by NY Time’s Mark Halperin and New York Magazine’s John Heilemann, events are reconsructed after the fact by operatives who may have had more interest in settling scores then setting the record straight. While this technique makes the political stories made for TV movie fodder, I wonder about our obsession with identifying a devil in Obama’s camp.

But that’s not the only development. The devils in the Transit Sun’s opposition to the July 21, 2009 Desire for Reforms Eclipse are few but their combined magnitude is great. They include: (1) a very public birthday dinner date between Barack and Michelle (White House sources told a Globe reporter that the two get so angry they often sleep in separate bedrooms, Jan 18 2010), (2) renewed fighting in downtown Kabul with weapons grade bombs, (3) food riots and looting in earthquake torn Haiti requiring a military response, and (4) new earthquakes erupt in Central America.

http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20100118/ap_on_re_la_am_ca/lt_guatemala_earthquak

Let’s take a quick look at the orbiting daytime planets in Central America and the Caribbean one (1) day before the Sun’s opposition by transit. Coursing across the Caribbean are Mars, Chiron and Sedna. Chiron is the asteriod of painful transformations. It was coursing right through the Haitian peninsula where known faults exist. Due west are Guatemala and El Salvador where another earthquake was reported on Monday, January 18th. Then there is Sedna. She is the newbie on the block discovered just a few years ago. Sedna is half fish. She is the mistress of life and death to the Inuit people. While Sedna is not considered strong outside artic waters, when teamed with Chiron and Mars she may be able to wield some damage. For example, if Sedna is not respected she begins to feel her hands sear with pain and, in her misery, sends sickness, storms, and starvation to punish the humans. Lastly, we have Mars. From this week’s news reports a number of Mars like events have erupted in Haiti. News accounts feature men with large knives and machetes fanning out through the center of the city of Port Au Prince creating chaos. Another account notes the build-up of American and UN forces and fire power to keep Haitian unrests under control.

Below I’ve circled the region where the earthquakes struck. Mars‘ path is a red dotted line, Sedna’s path is a white line and Chiron is a green line. To view a larger image click once on the picture below.

By January 19, 2010 at approximately 10:45 am trouble will clear out of the Caribbean. Food will get through and starvation will abate as Mars, Sedna and Chiron widen their arc and move to the coast of Brazil. What remains is Uranus and its path is through Guatemala.

Many mundane astrologers believe Solar Maps are essential in predicting the occurrence of events throughout the world. Today’s findings prove there is a great deal of credence in this belief especially in regard to Earth’s weather patterns and geology. However, eclipses still hold reign over seasonal occurrences and the rise and fall of empires.

Moving forward, below is a look at the Desire for Reforms Eclipse and the current Transits. The Reforms Eclipse is on the inner wheel and the Transits are on the outer wheel. To view a larger image click once on the picture below.

Here’s another view of our empire with the Desire for Reforms Eclipse on the inner wheel, the Transits in the center Wheel and President Barack Obama’s Birth Chart on the outer wheel. One thing of note is how Barack Obama’s Jupiter seems to negate the apparent opposition formed by the Reforms Eclipse Sun and the Transits’ Sun. To view a larger image click once on the picture below.

So now that we’ve come to a milestone in tracking the effects of the separating aspects to the Desire for Reform Eclipse, let’s take a look at the transits that will now be applying to the Desire for Reform Eclipse Sun and Moon.

1. The Quincunx – 150 degrees –  (What happened last time? Winter storms coursed the northeast and Europe)
2. The Biquintile – 144 degrees – (What happened last time? President made tough decisions about Afghanistan)
3. The Sesquisquare – 135 degrees –  (What happened last time? Obama accepted the Nobel Peace Prize)
4. The Trine – 120 degrees –  (What happened last time? Health reform made it through the house)
5. The Square – 90 degrees –  (What happened last time? Nidal Malik Hassan made plans for the Fort Hood Massacre. Within 10 -12 days Hassan executed his plan.)
6. The Quintile – 72 degrees – ?
7. The Sextile – 60 degrees-air – ?

Stay tuned!

So, what’s up with Dennis Hopper?

Transiting Saturn-Vertex may be the culprit for Dennis Hopper’s current physical and financial woes. Right now Hopper who is 73 is in the midst of a physical challenge with prostate cancer, but to everyone’s surprise he announced today that he was seeking a divorce from his wife of 14-years. Is this the way to go when fighting to survive a life threatening illness? What’s up with Dennis Hopper?

Let us keep our prayers fervent for Dennis Hopper.

1-Minute Delineations – A Mini Course on Decans

Decans were used during the middle ages and renaissance periods up through the decline of astrology during the eighteenth century. H. E Wedeck in his book called the Dictionary of Astrology defines decans as follows “…ten degrees of each zodical sign are dedicated to a plaent which assumes influence when it passes through this ten-degree space. This ten degree space is called a decan. There are thirty-six decans at ten degrees. In these the planets, except the Sun and the Moon alternate.” Remember, the Sun and Moon are not planets.

The banner on this blog page depicts a horoscope with decans. Prior to the decline of astrology decans made it easy for an astrologer to dig deeper into the meaning of a planets’ placement. Much like the Arabic Parts, the proper definition, use and application of decans probably fell into obscurity and misuse shortly after the decline of astrology. As a result, modern day astrologers moved away from using them opting to show a more technical or astronomical definition for the placement and occurrence of astrological phenomena in horoscopic charts.  But something went missing — fun!!

In general, decans can make delineations easy, simple, and fun. They are a great tool for teaching the basics of astrology, as an ice-breaker at parties, or in groups. What’s so fun about decans? Let’s take a look at Michelle Obama’s chart and do a 1-minute delineation using astrological key words.

Another example that I did not add to the view above is Michelle’s Mercury in Capricorn, 8th house. Now most astrologers will agree that the key words for Michelle’s Mercury are:

Communications, logic, leadership, in banking, taxes, the law, sex, death, secrets.

Here’s the same interpretation with the decan of Saturn.

Careful responsibility and discipline in communications, logic, leadership, in banking, taxes, the law, sex, death, secrets.

Is she some type of an attorney or CPA? Yes.

Michelle was a corporate attorney. Here, the decan has allowed us to see how seriously Michelle takes her responsibility when she is acting out her Mercury.

So the next time you’re stuck delineating by triplicities, rulers, elements, retrogrades, void of course, aspects, etc., and find yourself totally confused, pull up a chart featuring decans and empower your interpretation.   Don’t knock it, or allow anyone to dissuade you because people equate showmanship with intelligence and talent. Who knows, you may pique enough interest to generate several commissions for indepth readings. Also, try tracking your progressed Sun, moon, mercury and venus with the decans to give yourself a daily reading. I’ve met some very good astrologers who exclusively employed the use of decans in tracking the Sun, moon and other fast moving planets for daily readings. I was and remain amazed!

Until the approaching quincunx 30 days from now – Peace,

Castrated Corpse Found: Public Option Dead, Depp Hatted

Bi-Quintile Event Round-up

The Healthcare Public Option, the Drug Makers Lobby, the death of Oral Roberts, the appearance of the 4th Horseman of the Apocalypse, the test launch of the new Boeing 787 (http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2009/12/15/AR2009121501056.html ), and Santa’s arrest, highlight the events generated by the bi-quintile.

The Bi-quintile is part of a family or series of aspect that divide the 360 degree circular horoscope by fifths. For example, 72 degrees is one-fifth of the circle and 144 degrees is two-fifths of the circle. Robert Hand describes the bi-quintile in his book Horoscope Symbols as more powerful than all “three-series aspects except for the trine.” The Bi-quintile is noted as the aspect of talent and genius. Conversely, Bil Tierney in his book Dynamics of Aspect Analysis relies on Johann Kepler’s fifth harmonic definition calling the appearance of a bi-quintile a harbinger of “use and abuse of power and authority.”

This week we saw a lot of both. Yet, this particular bi-quintile theme seemed to center around the use and abuse of money. For example, during Climate Talks poor G-77 countries walked out because the reforms were too costly for them to consider. To save the talks, wealthier countries agreed to ante-up subsidies to assist their G-77 family (http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2009/12/15/AR2009121505077.html).

Similarly, during the Health Reform debate in the Senate the Drug makers Lobby emerged as the big gorilla in the room fearing its loss of market share to Japan. Joe Lieberman (my crazy neighbor from Connecticut – who obviously lost his mind on a dark night zooming thru the Merritt Parkway), tossed in his monkey wrench castrating the Healthcare Reform Bill’s Public Option (http://voices.washingtonpost.com/ezra-klein/2009/12/more_explanations_that_dont_ma.html ).

But it was Citigroup and other bailed out banks that were the real barons of the bi-quintile making off with millions of dollars in tax breaks. (http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2009/12/15/AR2009121504534.html )

Even Jack Lalanne, who owes his popularity to longevity, got caught up in the money wave admitting his reluctance to throw in the towel by undergoing a serious heart operation at age 95. Personally, I want to believe his reasons were altruistic.

But the big bi-quintile lifesaver went to the Guantanamo Bay Detainees. Washington announced plans on Tuesday to renovate an old Illinois ‘Big House’ (prison) to contain them (http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2009/12/15/AR2009121501215.html )

The Bi-quintile aspect went exact on Monday, December 14 at 4:00 pm eastern standard time. World renown astrologers like Robert Hand and Bil Tierney note that no more than 1.5 degrees should be given as orb. So the bi-quintile’s effects will last until the morning of Thursday, December 17 eastern standard time. Featured in this week’s blog are three chart views. Up first is the Desire for Reform Eclipse and the Bi-quintile Transits and second is Johnny Depp.

.

Uses and Abuses


In this view the Desire for Reform Eclipse is the inner wheel and the Bi-quintile Transits is the outer wheel. My first visual observation were the two quincunxes (150 degrees) that sprang up as the bi-quintile transiting Sun made its 144 degree angle to the Desire for Reform Eclipse Sun. The quincunxes involve Saturn, Jupiter, Mars and the Vertex. Still holding is the square between cardinal houses in the Reform Eclipse. This involves Pluto, Capricorn ,10th house and transiting Saturn, Libra, 7th house. Below is a summary of the aspects and their meanings.

Transiting Neptune-Jupiter, Aquarius, 8th house quincunx Reform Eclipse Saturn-Vertex, Virgo, 7th house. The Vertex is anchoring this quincunx connection between Saturn and Neptune-Jupiter. The Saturn-Vertex combination often brings problems in the house that Saturn rules. In the Reform Eclipse chart, Saturn rules the 11th house. In the Bi-quintile Transit chart, Saturn rules the 8th and 9th houses. In the bi-wheel view shown, the transiting 8th and 9th houses fall in the Reform Eclipse’s 12th house of secret enemies. We met up with many illusions on the political front that confused us. Most notable was how President Obama led us to believe he was taking a hard line on Wall Street, then poof Citigroup and other bailed out banks walk away with a rosy tax break totaling in the tens of millions of dollars – at our expense no less! Was there some disconnect in the White House briefing room or was it another secret enemy disguised as an Obama supporter in the Oval Office who happened to help Obama write his very uranian Today Show comments. Where’s Rahm! This aspect also forms what Bil Tierney calls the upper quincunx or the “death quincunx.” Sadly, Oral Roberts the famous television evangelist died at age 91 (http://voices.washingtonpost.com/postmortem/2009/12/oral-roberts.html), and right before the bi-quintile vanished Cincinnati Bengals receiver Chris Henry died, one day after falling out of the back of a pickup truck in what authorities described as a domestic dispute with his fiancee.   He was 26. (http://msn.foxsports.com/nfl/story/121609-Bengals-Henry?GT1=39002)
Transiting Bi-quintile Sun Sagittarius, 7th house square Reform Eclipse Saturn-Vertex, 5th house. The Vertex is anchoring this quincunx connection between Saturn and Neptune-Jupiter. What could go wrong with the Sun in Sagittarius? It’s Christmas, the kids are coming out of school, the downtown streets are decorated, and Christmas Carols are playing on the radio. Well, Murphy’s Law emerged the winner morphing warm holiday tidings into a cold chill with Saturn-Vertex. This combination often brings problems in the house Saturn rules. In the Reform Eclipse Chart Saturn rules the 11th house. In the Transit chart Saturn rules the 8th and 9th houses. In the bi wheel view shown, the 8th and 9th houses of the transit chart move to the 12th house of secret enemies. Joe Lieberman rose as a secret yet powerful enemy of President Obama’s Healthcare Reform Bill. Lieberman successfully frustrated Obama’s efforts by winning his bid to remove the Public Option which would have rolled back the Medicare age to 55. Also under the influence of Saturn-Vertex were the G-77 nations  who responded with a protest when they saw they were being taken for a ride. Our G-77 folk stalled Climate Talks with a ‘walk-out’ until their funding issues were given an appropriate platform for discussion (http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2009/12/16/AR2009121600701.html ).
Transiting Vertex, Scorpio, 8th House quincunx Reform Eclipse Mars, Gemini, 3rd house. My followers already know that President Obama has received the most death threats of any president of our time – bar none. This was one of the reasons why I created this blog (http://nudeprovacateuse.wordpress.com/2009/11/30/the-rise-of-obama-history-in-the-making/ )  Yesterday, details of a plan were leaked outlining the military’s contingency actions in case violence sprang up in the US due to hostile War protests. Well, what’s the big secret?  Remember, the 8th house is also referred to as the house of secrets. The big secret we won’t hear from our President is the new scope of the War initiatives. I wrote about this in an earlier blog called Opium Heroin War (http://nudeprovacateuse.wordpress.com/2009/12/07/opium-heroin-war/)
Transiting Bi-quintile Sun within cusp of quincunx to Reform Eclipse Sun-Moon. Evidence of willful and intense desires surfaced this week as the Drug maker Lobbyist groups emerged as the gorilla in the room concerning healthcare reform. Their campaign contributions total in the hundreds of millions of dollars. Many U.S. Senators obviously took note of this (http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2009/12/16/AR2009121603027.html ).  Also of note was the protester dressed as the 4th Horseman in the Apocalypse outside the Copenhagen Climate Talks. This was obviously spurred by an intense desire for their message to be visualized – we got it!

Bi-quintile’s Creative Talent and Genius-Johnny Depp
http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0000136/

People Magazine’s Sexiest Man of the Year shares his Cancerian North Node with Hugh Hefner. Realizing that it was not easy to get away with even the smallest of crimes, due in large part to Uranus and Mars in the first house, Depp lives largely isolated from the American public in the Bahamas and Europe. He needs this in order to balance his home, family, career and possibly some very special health condition he’s been managing since childhood. Home is very important to Depp who emerged from insecure yet middle class conditions. This means he had to work three times as hard as the next guy to mold the life he wanted to lead. Note Depp’s Chiron in Pisces, 8th house. Now remember, Depp was born in Kentucky but if you were to encounter him today his accent would probably resemble a blue blooded British bloke with ties to the crown. It appears, Depp worked hard to distance himself from a past that may have been a little too chaotic (or redneck?). Over the years, true maturity and success for Depp was achieved only after he constructively touched base with his feminine side indicated by Venus and Mercury, Taurus, 10th house. One interesting aspect I noted is Saturn in Aquarius, 7th house square Mercury in Taurus, 10th house. Mercury is in the decanate of Saturn! I can almost hear him tell his accountant, and Disney executes: “I don’t see how this adds up, can you run those numbers again-with all my exceptions and exclusions-please?”

But I think the Arabic Parts in Johnny Depp’s birth chart provide valuable links to his story:

Part of Kings and Sultans is in Sagittarius, 5th house conjunct Vertex and sextile Saturn in Aquarius 7th House. The Vertex brought Depp an event that released the child within. From this point on he was able to maintain audiences with the rich and powerful of the world. Sadly, this notoriety may have restricted meaningful relationships for him early on. In order to overcome the latter, Depp had to go deep and make some hard choices.
Part of Sudden Elevation in Leo, 1st house. This point acts like Jupiter attracting the greater benefit to the personal life. It forms a disassociated conjunction with Depp’s Uranus in Virgo. This occurs when there is a relationship between two planets or points in different signs and/or houses. At 27 degrees Leo, Depp’s Part of Sudden Elevation trines his Vertex in Sagittarius, 5th house. Because the Part of Elevation acts like Jupiter, Depp has a concealed Winner’s Aspect which helps him win most contests he enters.
Part of Feminine Seduction in Scorpio is no surprise conjunct Neptune, 4th house. What is surprising is that this part trines Depp’s Chiron, in the decanate of the Moon, Pisces, 8th house. This is a sign of a very sensitive man who can keep babes swooning (Watch out Tiger!).
Part of Collectors in Leo, decanate of Jupiter, 12th house conjunct Ascendant. Depp has a way of coming across treasure that no one else is really looking for or recognizes as valuable. This maybe why he commands some of the most odd yet creative roles generated by Hollywood to date. Or, on ordinary days, he’s always coming across treasure like lost change, tickets, broken gold momentos, or lost lottery tickets. The next time you misplace a valuable, call Depp. Chances are, he found it!
Part of Large Bodies in Aquarius, 7th House. Yes Ladies! Johnny Depp has to watch his weight especially when he’s slap happy satisfied in a loving caring relationship.

Fate’s Magic Wand

About 2-weeks ago, Actor Johnny Depp sped over from his private island to pick up an award for his life’s work at the Bahama International Film Festival http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/entertainment/8411633.stm

And, just before the Bi-quintile Transit began waning, the world got a glimpse of the trailer for Alice in Wonderland due in theaters by March 2010. Now can you guess what face showed in nearly every shot. You guessed it – Johnny Depp! The Bi-quintile is noted as the aspect for talent and genius. That’s why for the last 3 or 4 days, the Desire for Reforms Eclipse – with help from the bi-quintile transit – has been bringing this to the fore.


From Matinée Swashbuckler to Classical Movie Superstar.

But most importantly, bi-quintiles don’t inspire creative genius in everyone unless they’ve reached a level of maturity that allows the genius to flow into the life. This is why I believe bi-quintiles are more powerful in transit aspects to an individual then in a birth chart. It’s like the cosmos waiting to determine whether you’re really ready for it! From the looks of things, Johnny Depp is closing a very important chapter in his movie career (swashbuckler, pirate) and opening a new one with unexpected turns, twists, and audiences (Sweeney Todd, Alice in Wonderland). Below is a tri-wheel view depicting Johnny Depp’s birth chart on the inner wheel, the Bi-quintile Transits in the middle wheel and the Desire for Reforms Eclipse on the outer wheel. My first visual observation was that the Desire for Reforms Eclipse Sun-Moon are in Depp’s 12th house of endings and secret enemies. This year Depp has or will find out something important, shut it down and begin anew.  He’ll marshal a great deal of help and support as indicated by the gifts of luck and fortune the Bi-quintile Transit bestowed on his creative genius. I’m sure he’s exhaling: “..it’s about time!”

I’m not done yet! I can’t be until after the quincunx. So, up next is the Transiting Quincunx Sun, and what it brings to the Desire for Reform Eclipse of July 21, 2009 during our days of witness to The Rise of Obama.

Orgasmic-Oslo, Obama and Wyclef Jean

The Rise of Obama – Part 27

The Ingenious Power of Madison Avenue

Shhhh! There’s a few secrets the Norwegian Nobel Prize Committee keep to themselves http://nobelpeaceprize.org/. The first is that Alfred Nobel laid down the bulk of his immense fortune to establish the Nobel Prizes. They don’t want you to know he was the creator of dynamite and manufacturer of armaments that killed people. A peace activist named Bertha von Sutter helped change his view (and maybe his soul) before he died. http://nobelpeaceprize.org/en_GB/alfred-nobel/.

Shhhh! Seriously, this is top secret stuff and nobody really knows. But get this, the second is that the Norwegian Nobel Prize Committee want the world’s young people of the brown color spectrum to ‘see and believe they can be like Barack.’ They want young people to relate to Barack much the same way their grandparents and Angelina Jolie relate to ‘Muhammed Ali’ http://www.celebitchy.com/84499/angelina_jolie_gets_drunk_with_muhammad_ali_criticizes_darfur_policies/

Shhhh! The third, is that most of the world’s population resembles the brown color spectrum. So, the Norwegian Nobel Prize Committee came up with a marketing strategy. It’s the same one used to get Uncle Jeb in Alabama to buy Uncle Ben’s Rice, but this time they’re targeting Uncle Muhammad and his extended family. They want Uncle Muhammad to buy into the Barack Hussein Obama image.

Shhhh! You don’t know the whole story now, this Norwegian Nobel Prize Committee, that had ties to Old World Colonialism, are betting that the new generations of people resembling the brown color spectrum will ‘just say no’ to terrorism after seeing Uncle Sam’s Barack Hussein Obama win their prize.

Norwegian Nobel Prize Committee used the Peace Prize and Nobel Concert much like Madison Avenue and portrayed images children in Taliban and al Quaeda hot spots like Farah Province in Afghanistan can relate to.

Shhhh! Don’t tell anybody, but they want these young people to believe: ‘the world’s changing because Barack – your brother – leads America and he wants to help you.’ Shhhh! They only tell people who need to know. This is classified stuff. Shhhh!

Trite! Well considering that most young people who resemble the brown color spectrum live in countries offering little to no access to free education I call that – a coup d’etat!

Why Brangelina Branding Wouldn’t Work

But the Norwegian Nobel Prize Committee went a few steps further on behalf of the world’s young people who resemble the brown color spectrum by placing their favorite African American entertainers front and center. So, instead of inviting Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt to host this year’s Nobel Concert festivities http://www.tmz.com/category/brad-and-angelina/, they invited Jada Pinkett and Will Smith http://www.upi.com/Entertainment_News/Music/2009/12/12/Actor-Smith-co-hosts-Nobel-Prize-concert/UPI-24641260640900/. And, making sure they had music that the young people who resemble the brown color spectrum actually listen to, the Norwegian Nobel Prize Committee invited Hip-Hop-Reggae artist Wyclef Jean (http://wyclefjean.wordpress.com/ ). Make no mistake, Wyclef is no slouch in terms of philanthropy and humanitarianism. He has worked tirelessly on behalf of one of the poorest countries in the Western Hemisphere – Haiti (www.yele.org). Why back in November, Wyclef and U2′s Bono were both recipients of the 2009 Robert Kennedy Human Rights Award-RIPPLE OF HOPE AWARD (http://www.rfkcenter.org/node/406 ). So thrilled was Wyclef about the opportunity to perform in the Nobel Concert that he twittered Snoop Dogg and snapped the photo below. Please note the angle. It seems, Wyclef wanted to make sure Snoop Dogg and the other Titans ($$$) of Hip-Hop were not mislead about his actually being there.

Many other entertainers were on the line up for the festivity. Check out the concert for “free” on CNN Live at: http://www.cnn.com/video/#/video/showbiz/2009/12/11/nat.nobel.peace.prize.concert.cnn?iref=allsearch

Is History Repeating Itself?

If you still need help swallowing the Madison Avenue marketing strategy the Norwegian Nobel Prize Committee used to determine if Obama should get their award, here’s help through a little known history fact:

Despite widespread Jim Crow, one million, two hundred thousand African Americans fought in World War II.

This number excludes Ethiopians.

Every historian agrees that without this effort, all would’ve been lost. Unlike Americans, Europe remembers! The truth is The Norwegian Nobel Prize Committee is aware that the great war against terror is raging – everywhere! They know this war can’t be won without winning the hearts, minds, and commitment of everyone especially all those young people in Africa, the Mid-East, and Asia who resemble the brown color spectrum. Oh, this is old stuff. It’s been done before right here in the U.S. If you haven’t, check out Spike Lee’s big screen adaptation of James McBride’s World War II epic Miracle at St. Anna. Specifically, pay attention to the first 45-minutes when the Nazi’s attempted to wreak havoc among military members of Uncle Sam’s brown color spectrum, by broadcasting reminders of their home life under Jim Crow and inviting them to switch sides ( http://www.slashfilm.com/2008/06/12/spike-lee’s-miracle-at-st-anna-movie-trailer/ ). After you check the movie out, ask yourself what motivated those men to keep fighting for America and the allies? Could it have been something they could relate to like the brutality of fascism? Or, was it just a paycheck? (Frankly, I would have run like hell if it were the latter.) The Norwegian Nobel Prize Committee is acutely aware of the sacrifices that soon will be made in the name of Peace. That’s why their decision to give Obama the Nobel Peace Prize was larger than popular U.S. sentiment, their decision was for the World with the hope of possibly reaching teenagers like this one.

An American Hero: Meet Wyclef Jean

What Oslo’s Desire for Reform Eclipse brought to Wyclef is really an astrological text book study of how important an eclipse can be in revealing destiny. First and foremost, the Oslo Desire for Reforms Eclipse brought Wyclef an invitation to perform due to something he had done, or was about to do. Below is a view of Wyclef’s Birth chart and the Oslo Desire for Reforms Eclipse. Wyclef’s birth chart is in the inner wheel and the Oslo Desire for Reforms Eclipse is the outer wheel. This view shows:

• Eclipse Sun-Moon sextile Wyclef’s natal Sun-Uranus. Some unexpected event(s) would easily attract Wyclef’s attention.
• Eclipse Venus conjunct Wyclef’s natal Saturn. Reveals Wyclef’s sensitivity and willingness to make personal sacrifices for families and children. This Saturn-Venus aspect is also trine his Sun-Uranus meaning he would respond to this unexpected event with his heart in his hands. It also guaranteed that he would use his influence to help stricken families and children and make sure help went where it was needed most.
• Wyclef’s Natal North Node, 1st house, Capricorn. Reveals his ability to identify and assume a ‘father like’ responsibility for the plight of people.
• Eclipse Pluto, 12th house Capricorn transiting Wyclef’s 12th house. Reveals his determination to bring aid and reforms despite hidden enemies and detractors.
• Eclipse Pluto, 12th house Capricorn conjunct Wyclef’s natal Jupiter, 12th house Capricorn. Jupiter provides the greater benefit to Wyclef’s efforts to bring aid and reforms despite hidden enemies and detractors.
• Eclipse Pluto, 12th house Capricorn trine Wyclef’s natal Vertex, 8th house, Virgo. Foretells of Wyclef’s new phase and lot in life.
• Eclipse Vertex, 11th house, Sagittarius conjunct Wyclef’s natal Neptune 11th house, Sagittarius. This guaranteed that Wyclef would use his money, the media and his music industry influences to respond as a humanitarian for his people. Often, this aspect brings premonitions that something big is on the horizon. Most people respond by preparing themselves spiritually. Let’s hope Wyclef got a cosmic heads up.

In the Big Scheme of Things

I call the following view In the Big Scheme of Things. It features the Oslo Desire for Reforms Eclipse in the inner wheel, the Oslo Transits in the middle wheel, and Wyclef Jean’s Birth Chart in the outer wheel. Again, the Oslo Desire for Reforms Eclipse promised Wyclef a new lease on life. Here’s how: (1) The Eclipse Sun-Moon lands in the first house of personal affairs. This is sextile Wyclef’s Sun-Uranus in the 4th house of new beginnings. The Nobel Concert event in Oslo is Wyclef’s new lease on life and, (2) The 6th house of daily affairs featuring Oslo’s Eclipse Pluto, Oslo’s transiting Pluto-Vertex, and Wyclef’s natal Jupiter promise that Wyclef Jean’s transformation would help him throw away the old and usher in the new for the greater good. Let’s wish Wyclef the best as he takes his place as humanitarian and peace activist on the World’s stage.

UFO?

I’m an astrologer. I chart and interpret the planets, stars, eclipses and other lunar signs from the heavens. So I could not close without mentioning that the morning after The Norwegian Nobel Prize festivities, a spectacular blue spiral appeared in the skies. Did this anomaly mark the departure of a silent luminary serving as a Norwegian Nobel Prize Committee Member? Or, an important stakeholder? I’m featuring a picture below courtesy of the Sun tabloid in the United Kingdom. They ran the acronym UFO on the front page Thursday, December 10, 2009. After the event, government officials scrambled to report that this occurrence was nothing more than a military test operation in the White Sea by the Russians. But some of my sky watcher friends believe otherwise. To find out more about UFOs photographed in and around the White House and U.S. Capitol check out the photos acclaimed photographer Wil Allen has posted on behalf of UFO DC at: http://www.ufodc.com/

I’m still working on that Bi-Quintile installment of The Rise of Obama series Out of the Shadows.

Peace,

The Nude Provocateuse

About the Series: Since the time of the Pharoahs, eclipses have marked our major historical events especially the rise and fall of empires. The Rise of Obama Series (TRO) by The Nude Provocateuse (aka The_Betty) is based on the premise that the Eclipse of August 1, 2008 was the astronomical event opening the road for Barack Obama’s assent to the presidency, and the Desire for Reforms Eclipse of July 21, 2009 is responsible for influencing his 2009-10 political agenda.  This series is written as News, Political News, News and Commentary, and serves as basic astrological research not for profit or resale in accordance with the Copyright Act of 1976, 17 USC, Section 107.

The Rise of Obama: History in the Making

Part 23

The Rise of Obama Series (TRO) by The Betty is based on the premise that the Eclipse of August 1, 2008 was the astronomical event opening the road for Barack Obama’s assent to the presidency. Every few blogs, I have to remind my readers of my reasons for tracking the major astronomical events of the Obama Administration.

1. Obama is the first African American to attain the highest office in the land.
2. Before he assumed office, Barack Obama received more death threats than any other president-elect in history.
3. Obama promised to get opposing factions to talk through the myriad of problems in the mid-east.
4. Barack Obama’s solar return closely aligns itself with the Eclipse of August 1, 2008.

In fact, it appears as if the Eclipse is actually pushing Obama’s Sun forward triggering his winners aspect of Jupiter sextile Vertex and fortifying unlikely political partnerships due to Uranus and the Aries Point along his Descendant. Below is Obama’s Solar Return chart for 2008 and the Eclipse Chart for August 1, 2008. The Solar Return Chart is on the inside and the Eclipse Chart is on the outside.  For a better view of the chart featured below try a double click!

For The Rise of Obama series (TRO) I’ve narrowed my research to Sun and Moon astronomical events called eclipses. Since several occur within a year, I’ve placed my focus on the major astronomical events that coincide or come near to Obama’s Astrological Solar Returns. Like most astrologers, I began working on Obama’s chart from a flawed birth report that allegedly surfaced from the Democratic National Committee. But because I based my research on an astronomical event rather than a birth record, most of my findings remain sound.

During the summer of 2008, most Opinion Polls showed McCain and Obama in a dead heat.  But, on October 1, 2008, some 60-days after the Eclipse of August 1, 2008 Opinion Polls started to change. Obama’s lead went from waffling between 2-4 points to stabilizing at 8-9 points. You can say it was Hiliary. You can say it was Biden. I say it was the Eclipse of August 1, 2008.

The first thing astrologers learn is that when the Moon is tightly configured with several planets and/or significant chart points something major is happening or about to happen.   This has been consistent since the time of the Pharoahs of Egypt when  eclipses were used to mark the major historical events of  their time.  They found eclipses particularly useful in determining famine and the rise and fall of royal dynastys and empires.

The Eclipse of August 1, 2008 and Obama’s Solar Return chart for 2008 includes 10-chart points in the house of the eclipse. This includes 2-Suns, 1-Ascendant, 1-Part of Fortune, 2-Dragons Tails, 2-Mercurys and 2-Venuses, within a 19 degree spread, tightly configured with the Moon in the bi-wheel view.  These 10-chart points appear:

1) In a relational house stimulating partnerships and the raising of status
2) In a succedent house increasing the potential for resources
3)In a string with Venus last at 28 degrees Leo forming a grand trine to chart points in another relational house and growth house.
4)With the South Node or Dragon’s Tail opposing Chiron conjunct Neptune or as I like to call the configuration “painful delusions.”

Below is a graphic view of the 10-chart points comprising Obama’s Solar Return chart for 2008 and the Eclipse Chart for August 1, 2008. The Solar Return Chart is on the inside and the Eclipse Chart is on the outside.

Again, the flawed birth report moved the eclipse event to the 2nd and 3rd houses; however, the emphasis in the flawed chart remained on practical as well as relational affairs.

Remember all the talk about the President not having a strategy for health reform and international affairs. He didn’t. During the eclipse, Obama’s Moon was in the 12th house forming a square to a Disassociated Vertex-Pluto conjunction.  Normally this pair works to stimulate reforms and transformation, but it did not work well in this case and it took Obama a while before he could amass a brain trust to draft it. The first part of the disassociated pair namely the Vertex was in the 3rd house and Pluto can be found in the 4th – 4 degrees apart. At the time of the event, the pair stood astride the Ic.

But the assurance of a win was not in the Eclipse aspect pattern. The Eclipse aspect pattern only positioned Obama with the resources, partnerships and the support he needed to cinch a win. The promise of a win came from Jupiter sextile Vertex in the bi-wheel Eclipse and Solar Return view. What does this mean? Well, if Obama were still State Representative Obama or Private Citizen Obama he could have easily transferred his win to a lottery ticket, bingo hall, reality TV show, or a Friday night Karaoke contest. The bottom line is that, poised for the presidency, he was destined to win. This aspect along with Uranus and the Aries Point stirring up events near the descendant meant that Obama had the positioning to cause an upset.

Hey, we didn’t see all that!

On the contrary, we saw a great deal of upset. Hiliary was most upset and held off on her full support to the very end. Death threats on Obama’s life mounted day by day. People were and some still are – upset. Take this 2009 editorial from Andrew M. Manis an associate professor of history at Macon State College in Georgia that appeared in the Macon Telegraph. It’s called: When Are WE Going to Get Over It?

For much of the last forty years, ever since America “fixed” its race problem in the Civil Rights and Voting Rights Acts, we white people have been impatient with African Americans who continued to blame race for their difficulties. Often we have heard whites ask, “When are African Americans finally going to get over it? Now I want to ask: “When are we White Americans going to get over our ridiculous obsession with skin color? Recent reports that “Election Spurs Hundreds’ of Race Threats, Crimes” should frighten and infuriate every one of us. Having grown up in “Bombingham,” Alabama in the 1960s, I remember overhearing an avalanche of comments about what many white classmates and their parents wanted to do to John and Bobby Kennedy and Martin Luther King.

Since our recent presidential election, to our eternal shame we are once again hearing the same reprehensible talk I remember from my boyhood.

For those of you who are familiar with my style of astrology, this interpretation would not be complete without confirmation from an Arabic Part. Most notable is the Part of Kings and Sultans conjunct the bi-wheel Ascendant at 27 degrees Virgo, 1st house (some folks just hate this one). The Part of Kings and Sultans ensures Obama the audience of the rulers of the world. The Part of Kings and Sultans is called out in the graphic view of the 10-chart points above.

Now some of my colleagues will point to Saturn and attribute its placement with the Rise of Obama. Frankly, their reasons are sound. But in my research, I’ve never been able to associate Saturn with winning a contest like in an election, or a lottery, or a bingo game. Saturn says “I restrict” so I look at his appearance in the twelfth house of Obama’s chart as the restrictions (due to death threats) he continues to live with as president.

After the election, Obama had to wait 80 or more days before taking office. By that time, the August 1, 2008 Eclipse was nearly 170+ days old. Then Obama’s honeymoon inaugural lasted for another 100-days. Soon it was May and the hard transits to the August 2008 Eclipse Sun found Obama in the midst of a fight with FOX over fair media coverage. When the Desire for Reforms Eclipse debuted on July 21, 2009, Obama had dug in for the long haul on health care, the economic stimulus, withdrawing from Iraq, and re-focusing efforts in Afghanistan. The August 1, 2008 Eclipse still generates audiences with the rulers of the world evidenced by Obama’s recent travels to China, North Korea and his first state dinner in honor of India’s Singh, but the Reforms Eclipse and Obama’s reform platform is now center stage affecting every aspect of his work day, as well as our homes, our lives, and our future.

There are a number of interesting eclipses coinciding with President Obama’s Solar Returns through 2011. Astrologers have already predicted that 2011 will be the year that our global economy will turn around. In my opinion, this predicted turnaround will mark the actual Rise of Obama. For I believe that an African American’s rise to the presidency will mean little unless he’s able to turnaround these dark times. Anything less would pose the risk of Obama being uncharacteristically represented 10 to 100 years from now. Most African Americans don’t want that. We’re still reeling over D.W. Griffith’s “Birth of a Nation.” To make doubly sure this will not happen, The_Betty will be here chronicling astronomical events that mark and define The Rise of Obama.

Peace,
