INTRO to BUSH ‘41’ and BUSH ‘43’ (Part 1)
An Astrologically Tumultuous Time For Everyone

The astrological charts of the two Presidents Bush (each of whom have dealt with IRAQ), have strong interplanetary connections – between father and son, between each President and Saddam (see chart). Also, each President’s chart connects in intricate ways with the charts and the chart of when Saddam he took power (see chart).

Many people are questioning what the true relationship is between the father, a SUN SIGN GEMINI (see chart) and the son, a SUN SIGN CANCER (see chart). There is also speculation whether the Senior Bush (and more of his advisors) can help extricate the U.S. from an untenable situation. Astrology provides clues, a few of which are introduced in this article.

Most of us, not just the President and his Administration, have been going through shake-ups and transformations. It will take quite a while for this process to unfold.

The astrological saying, “as above so below”, indicates that planetary motions in the sky parallel or reflect events in our lives here on earth. As astrological background, it is important to review some of the major and complex patterns which have set up our current condition in the world and which will continue to indicate dramatic change.

The planet MERCURY has been in RETROGRADE motion in the intense and power oriented sign of SCORPIO since October 28th, and will go DIRECT on November 17th. When MERCURY is in (appears to be) RETROGRADE, communications are more confused and unreliable. Whatever is initiated either repeats a previous pattern and/or necessitates that a new plan be provisional so that it can be modified when MERCURY goes DIRECT. This has been a time when much can also be studied deeply in order to revise problems of the past.

No one was taking this Election lightly. The recent U.S. Elections occurred during this RETROGRADE MERCURY (accompanied by four other planets in SCORPIO).

The planet NEPTUNE (planet of ideals, and as well as confusion and deception) moved into DIRECT motion on the exactly same day, October 28th, that MERCURY went RETROGRADE. That combination alone might be enough to make someone feel a bit nuts.

URANUS (rebellious planet of surprises, sudden changes, disruptions, break-ups and break-downs) will move from RETROGRADE motion in the sign of PISCES to DIRECT motion on November 20th. More surprises lie ahead.

Lastly, for a large part of this year, there has been a T-SQUARE pattern of NEPTUNE in AQUARIUS, JUPITER in SCORPIO, and SATURN in LEO. All three signs – AQUARIUS, SCORPIO and LEO are FIXED SIGNS. Planets in FIXED signs do not adjust easily to other forces, but remain entrenched in their positions. Therefore this planetary pattern has resulted in an on-going and intractable situation in areas such as the on-going battle in IRAQ.

JUPITER and SATURN (considered strong indicators of the Body Politic and the Economy) were conjoined in TAURUS in 2000 when this President Bush was first elected. Now, JUPITER and SATURN are in the “opening” SQUARE (challenging positions to each other.) President Bush has been dealing with the struggle represented by the expansive energy of JUPITER and the restrictive energy of SATURN.

JUPITER will move out of this tri-part pattern and into its own sign of SAGITARRIUS on November 23rd, which should give hope to some solutions.
