The Austin Plane Crash, the North Illinois University shooting, Tiger’s Apology, Obama’s defense of the stimulus bill and Newsweek’s Debunking of popular conspiracy theories are the headliners for the Approaching Quincunx of the Desire for Reforms Eclipse.
Robert Hand in his book Horoscope Symbols defines the Quincunx as “forcing choices between very different positions.” A Quincunx occurs when two planets are exactly 150 degrees apart. When a quincunx occurs, notable events erupt. During the separating quincunx last December most of Europe and the Northeast corridor of the U.S. experienced freezing temperatures that threatened lives. See: http://wp.me/pJyvs-3p. During the current or approaching quincunx the transiting Sun is moving toward the Desire for Reforms Eclipse Sun. Last week we saw some of the outcomes of forced choices between different positions.

What’s So Stimulating?
On Wednesday, February 17 President Obama defended his $787 billion Stimulus Plan meant to help the U.S. avoid another Great Depression. In the year since the bill’s enactment, the unemployment rate hasn’t budged despite tax cuts, credits, and investments in infrastructure, energy efficiency and broadband. It seems that even a forced influx of cash into the economy can’t overcome the volatile U.S. and Global Marketplaces.
About Joe’s Taxes…
At the apex of the quincunx is Joseph Stack. He was the engineer who crashed his plane into the IRS building in Austin Texas. I’ve calculated impact between 10:00 and 10:11 am Thursday, February 18. An online suicide note indicates that Joseph Stack felt he was forced into his position and his choice of flying a plane into a building. You can read Stack’s suicide note at: http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20100218/ap_on_re_us/us_plane_crash_texas. Below is a chart on the crash. The Desire for Reforms Eclipse is on the inside wheel and the Austin Plane Crash Transits are on the outside wheel. To see a larger view of the chart below, just click inside the image once.
Another Campus Shooting
On Friday, February 19 a student attending the Dekalb campus of North Illinois University was shot and wounded nearly two years after a fatal shooting at the school left half a dozen dead (http://www.suntimes.com/2058404,niu-campus-shooting-021910.article).
Tiger’s Five Six Hole Drive
Yet, the headliner of the week didn’t involve a horrific event, sub-zero temperatures, or politics of global magnitude. The story that captured the imagination of the public was Tiger Wood’s public apology for adultery. Tiger is desparately seeking to reform his relationship with his wife at home and with his business associates. See: http://voices.washingtonpost.com/celebritology/2010/02/tiger_woods_apology_live-blogg.html?wpisrc=nl_natlalert.
In sum, Tiger claimed he was out of control and had to submit himself to rehab in order to take back his sanity and enjoy a normal life. He also defended his wife Elin and claimed that she never struck him (even though she caught him sleeping around with 5 or more women at the same time).

A Well Rehearsed Public Relations Coup
Tiger went as far as to say that there had never been an incident of domestic family violence. But what were we watching – really? We were watching the strategy of expert public relations consultants trying to mitigate the actions of a popular Don Juan in order to save and/or recapture millions of dollars in sports endorsement contracts. If you’d like to see the handy work of PR consultants involving other sports luminaries go to: http://msn.foxsports.com/mlb/lists/Notable-sports-apologies-gallery-021910?GT1=39002#sport=MLB&photo=10927212. There’s something to be said about a million dollar sports figure fessin’ up and saying I’m sorry.
Tiger’s Sex Secrets Revealed
Below is the birth chart of Tiger Woods. After a brief visual inspection of the chart, I found Tiger to be someone driven to be the first at everything. This drive equates to his desire to fit in. This is indicated by Chiron in Aries, 8th house. In some cases a desire to always be first is disastrous with the individual isolating themselves among family and friends. But in Tiger’s case Chiron’s desires were tempered by Pluto conjunct the Arabic Part of Fortune in Libra, 1st house. Here Tiger was given the opportunity to mold himself into a figure of non-self assertion. Early on in his life and career he may have feared disturbing the harmony he sought from family, friends and colleagues. This helped keep his desire to be first virtually unchecked by competitors. The result gave him room to grow into one of the world’s best golf pros. It’s as if Chiron quincunx the Ascendant helped him carve out a niche in golf by hurling personal challenges at his first quadrant. The first quadrant of a horoscopic chart is the first, second and third houses. The first quadrant comprises everything about a person’s personality, body, appearance, money, possessions, and communications.
Uranus and the North Node in Scorpio, 2nd house also points to curious circumstances. With Uranus and the North Node in Tiger’s 2nd house, money flows in and out of his wallet with ease. Uranus brings revolutionary changes to resources. This make’s Tiger focus on what’s necessary and what’s not. But the controversy is with the North Node in Scorpio, 2nd house. Here we find the inevitable. The North Node in Scorpio, 2nd house holds Tiger’s feet to the fire when it comes to issues surrounding passion, sexuality and obsession. This can be confirmed by the number of maidens who have emerged during his sex scandal.
After reviewing Uranus and the North Node in the 2nd house, I moved my attention back to the asteroid Chiron in Aries, along with Sedna in Taurus, and the South Node in Taurus. There in the 8th house lies the personal downside to Tiger’s hidden and controlled drive. For example, the South Node in Taurus, 8th house (naturally ruled by Venus) drives Tiger’s desire to acquire all of the sex and passion available while Sedna in Taurus handed him a consequence for everything obtained. Remember the 8th house places focus on banking, taxes, the law, SEX, death and SECRETS. If you’ve been keeping up with the news, its easy to see that all of the 8th house themes are issues Tiger has been dealing with in a very public manner lately.
Tiger’s Don Juan Chart Point
But the big question of the day is what makes Tiger so sexy and appealing to the ladies? What is it that brings these babes around, and tear up over him on national TV? The planet that takes the credit is Venus in Scorpio, 3rd house in the decan of the Moon. In researching the description of this combination I found the following words and phrases: loving, affectionate, interested only in the pleasures of life, and good for sex. It seems that Tiger’s Venus in Scorpio, 3rd house in the decan of the Moon acts like a sort of Don Juan chart point. The point gives him a grasp for the right timing and the right words especially around the opposite sex. No doubt this trait was honed to perfection by Pluto conjunct the Arabic Part of Fortune in the first house. The result is that these ladies felt no pressure to get involved with Tiger but when they did come in contact with him they found him open, a good listener and a willing provider of their every want and need. Furthermore, this Don Juan chart point places Tiger in a perpetual dreamy and romantic mood. He’s like this all the time! Make no mistake that this dreamy and romantic persona helps spur opportunities for him to wrestle panties off unsuspecting ladies who believe his non-assertive easy style with them is an indicator of true love. Sadly, what these maidens learned in the media blitz of the past few months is that Tiger is little more than a reincarnation of Don Juan as golf player. Surprisingly, Elin knows Tiger. This is evident by the hefty pay-off clauses of their pre-nuptial agreement in case of divorce. Elin is promised millions if Tiger strays.

Tiger’s Karmic Debt Due
The next chart view depicts the Desire for Reforms Eclipse on the inner wheel, the Approaching Quincunx in the middle wheel and Tiger’s Birth Chart on the outer wheel. Believe me when I say I was surprised to find such a strong connection between the Desire for Reforms Eclipse chart and Tiger’s Birth Chart. Upon visual inspection it appears that this was the year Tiger’s secrets were on a collision course with fate. In the 7th house we have the Saturn-Vertex aspect. This pattern is an indicator of divorce and trouble in the house that Saturn rules. In an earlier blog I wrote on Sex, Chaos, Lies, Divorce: The Opposition and What’s Up with Dennis Hopper? I discussed how the affects of Saturn-Vertex were driving Dennis Hopper to divorce. You can read more at: http://wp.me/pJyvs-50.
Also in this view, Saturn is ruling the 11th house where Tiger’s Mercury is located. If you recall, a major deal breaker for Tiger and Elin were those text and voicemail messages that went back and forth between him and his anxious maidens. In fact, Tiger’s Mercury is still under seige. Within minutes of his public apology, three of the five maidens managed to make national news with one being offered a job as a television announcer. But that’s not all, this same Saturn-Vertex aspect is square Tiger’s Midheaven, Ic, and Moon. This sort of pattern appears to be keeping his personal and business matters in a continuos state of flux having to do with his career, his home and his emotional state. Sadly, the South Node conjunct Sedna in Taurus, 2nd house shows money leaking out of Tiger’s wallet this year. Very little seems to be flowing in (Frankly, this is not good news for his maidens and I’m happy one of them has found a job). To see a larger view of the chart, just click inside the image once.
Debunked Conspiracy Theories Featuring 2009 Lie of the Year
Lastly, I found a nifty article debunking a number of conspiracy theories. They are a fitting conclusion to this blog noting the apparent outcomes of forced choices between different positions. The article was released by Newsweek one day after the quincunx. I’ve listed some of the most notable below. You can review the entire list of debunked conspiracy theories at: http://www.newsweek.com/id/233518?GT1=43002 .
No. 1 – Democrats’ health plan will create death panels. PolitiFact named this one “Lie of the Year” in 2009.
Part of Barack Obama’s devious plan to reform health insurance will be the creation of panels of experts who will decide whether or not patients are “worth” treating, making them arbiters of life and death.
Proponents: Sarah Palin, Sen. Charles Grassley (R-Iowa), a lot of angry town-hall-meeting attendees.
It’s fully debunked: Palin was apparently referring to a provision of draft legislation that would have funded consultation about end-of-life care.
No. 2 Barack Obama was not born in the United States.
It’s not clear where he must have been born instead: some say Indonesia; some say Kenya (initial suggestions that Hawaiian natives weren’t citizens when he was born in Honolulu in 1961 were quickly dismissed). The point, so-called birthers say, is that he wasn’t born in the good old US of A, hence isn’t a natural-born citizen and therefore cannot legally be president.
Proponents: Chief birther and Beverly Hills dentist and attorney Orly Taitz, WorldNetDaily editorJoseph Farah, Rep. Nathan Deal (R-Ga.), former presidential and Senate candidate Alan Keyes, assorted tea partiers.
It’s fully debunked: Forged Kenyan birth certificates have been exposed! Obama’s birth certificate has been certified by the state of Hawaii, and images have been shown on national television. And that’s leaving aside plenty of circumstantial proof, like birth announcements in both major Hawaiian papers from August 1961.
No. 3 – Barack Obama is a secret Muslim.
Drawing many of the same backers as the birther movement, this theory claims that Obama was indoctrinated into Islam while living in Indonesia during his childhood. They worry Obama is trying to undermine America’s Judeo-Christian heritage, institute Islamic religious law, betray Israel to the Arabs, and perhaps even allow Al Qaeda to win the war on terror.
Proponents: Anonymous chain e-mail, Libyan dictator Muammar Kaddafi, Swift Boater and propaganda wizard Jerome Corsi.
It’s fully debunked: Obama belonged to a Christian church in Chicago (for which he ironically also caught flack) and has a record of unambiguous support for Israel and hawkish policies on eradicating Al Qaeda’s strongholds in Afghanistan and Pakistan.
No. 4 – Obama wants to conscript Americans into a civilian defense corps.
The group would be a brownshirtlike organization that would enforce order in the United States.
Proponents: Glenn Beck, Watergate burglar and media personality G. Gordon Liddy, Ann Coulter.
It’s fully debunked: Liberal press watchdog Media Matters says the theory stems from a speech Obama made in which he argued for the importance of the Foreign Service, AmeriCorps, and the Peace Corps. That’s a far cry from an American Gestapo—a claim for which there’s no support.
No. 5 – Time magazine wants to restrict the Internet to licensed users.
Time, in concert with pro-censorship groups, is backing a plan that would require a license—i.e., government sanction—for people to get on the Internet.
Proponents: Radio host and conspiracy junkie Alex Jones’s two Web sites.
It’s fully debunked: Time published a story reporting on a Microsoft executive who’d like to see licensing to combat anonymity. Broadcasting such a controversial proposal—regardless of its merits—is quite the opposite of censorship.
No. 6 – 9/11 was an inside job.
The truthers, holdovers from the Bush days, just won’t go away. They argue that the physics of the World Trade Center collapse doesn’t add up, and that the attacks were an excuse for the U.S. to launch wars abroad.
Proponents: Alex Jones, retired religion professor David Ray Griffin, Reagan administration policy analyst Barbara Honegger, British journalist Robert Fisk.
It’s fully debunked: Not even the staunchest mainstream George W. Bush bashers believe this one. Enough said.
Keep your eyes posted on what’s coming up for the Approaching Biquintile.
Peace!

Taxes, Tiger, Sex and Theories: The Approaching Quincunx
