1980: Aquarius Ronald Reagan--- ìassassination
attemptî
2000: Leo
William J. Clinton---Impeachment occurred,
often considered a "professional"
death?
A BREAK IN THE CHAIN of deadly coincidences appears
to have occurred during the Reagan administration when the assassination
attempt was unsuccessful. Some have suggested that Ronald Reagan has never
been the same since that attempt. Still he survives to this day .The
turning point coincides with the first time (since 1842) that the conjunction
occurred in an Air Sign instead of an
Earth
sign.
When the conjunction changes its element (from
earth to air etc.) it has traditionally been called The Great Mutation*
The
conjunction of 2000 returns to an earth sign (Taurus) affecting
President Clinton's administration.Then in the year 2020 it will move to
Air sign, Aquarius.
The term of a sitting president can range from
four to eight years so we must consider up to an eight-year termwithin
which the Jupiter-Saturn conjunction can fall. Still the synchronicity
is formidable and cannot be brushed aside casually.
According to noted astrologer Liz Greene:*In medieval
and Renaissance astrology, the Jupiter-Saturn conjunction is always considered
to herald a change in rulership-the death of a king and an interregnum
of chaos and the emergence of a new king.
* Liz Greene, from the Jupiter-Saturn
Conferences, a 7-day conference held in Berkeley during July of 1981.CRCS
Publications, Reno, Nevada, published in 1984. Grand Mutation was made
note of by astrologer Stephen Arroyo at above conference
ARIES:In
mid-February
Jupiter
furthers your growth as it moves into Taurus in mid-February. This shift
brings a well-deserved sense of ease and abundance, both materially and
through nature. More freedom and travel.For the first time in years you
can find our who you really are through personal interface and partnership.
(To
balance a past shy and reticent Piscean lifetime, Aries expresses boldness
and leadership.)
TAURUS: This
is your year. In mid-February Jupiter will enter your sign until July.Both
restriction and freedom come your way. Even as your life opens up new horizons
to you, you may feel more and more restricted and focused. Enriching hard
work will bring many Taureans recognition.(To
balance the past impulsive, adventurous Aries experience, Taurus learns
patience, strength and stability)
GEMINI: On
July 1, Jupiter will enter your sign for the rest of the year. You may
retire from something, or find a new freedom. You
are becoming brutally honest with yourself and others. Just know that what
bothers you stems from issues occurring very early in your life and has
little to do with the people at hand. (To
balance the past single focus of Taurus, Gemini glories in a variety of
skills and activities)
CANCER: Mid-June
and July Mars will be in your sign, and you will feel more energetic than
you have in years.You
may find that joining new groups can be stimulating and heart warming in
2000.You are in a healing mode and old and new friends can be part of the
cure. This will be a good year for most of you.(To
balance the ceaseless activity of verbal Gemini, Cancer become strong,
silent, and tenacious)
LEO: You
may be a whirling dervish in August and September, working harder than
usual and receiving financial help from a
surprising source. You are learning to handle your money with more
discretion. Rigorously determineyour priorities this year. Some Leos are
due for a promotion of some kind in 2000.
(To balance the low-profile Cancerian experience, Leo learns to deal with
and cope with the spotlight)
VIRGO: You
may be attracted to new philosophies, religions, sociological and political
arenas this year.This can occur through interfaces with new cultures or
through personal study and observation. The world of politics may fascinate
and legalities may be a focus, though not a problem.
(To balance the high visibility of charismatic Leo, Virgo seeks subtlety
and understatement)
LIBRA: An
old order is changing for you. You are undergoing a transformation from
the old to the new. Up until this year, you may have been going through
the motions. But now you are asking the big questions that beg answers
that are grounding and real. You look for closeness and depth in a new
way. (As a backlash against the Virgoan
exclusivity, Libra learns to respect all types of people and all sides
of an issue)
SCORPIO: Under
the Taurus influence this year, your body and soul will strengthen. You
may have to make drastic changes but they will be your changes and not
another's. Your one-on-one interfaces with others will help you understand
yourself on new levels. How you relate to others can actually heal you
in some way. Beginning in February, Jupiter in your opposite sign will
help you find freedom from your current restrictions. (In
reaction against Libran indecision, Scorpio makes firm decisions and opinions.
)
SAGITTARIUS: Work
will dominate your life this year, work that can also be of help to others
as well as yourself--in a concrete way. You will work long and hard and
be noticed for your industry and competence. Some of you may already have
received a promotion of some kind. Big things are brewing especially if
you change your outlook and modus operandus. Be nutirtionally aware and
keep in good physical shape because you will need your strength.(
In response to the powerful feelings in intense, focused Scorpio, Sagittarius
learns to see the big picture and let be, let go and stay free.)
CAPRICORN: People's
lives close to you will take on seriousness and a new perspective that
inches over onto you and your plans. You will find you can be of help on
a first hand basis to those you care about. This year will shift your focus
and give you new opportunities. You may go to school in an informal way
and learn new ways to operate in areas important to you. Although you may
be good at taking risks, this is not the year to take them. (
To balance the Sagittarian broadness of vision, Capricorn learns to look
close range to the dotted line)
AQUARIUS:Back
to your roots for many of you Aquarians. You are in a place where you can
look upon family members with more objectivity and compassion and re-connect
with the past in a healing way. You find that your real home is inside
of you and you carry it with you wherever you go. You may take trips or
sojourns that open to new horizons.( In reaction
to the ambitious Capricorn experience, Aquarius learns to value friendships
and give an equal chance to all )
PISCES: This
year you will become aware of how you come
across to others and how they view you. You will see yourself through the
eyes of others in a fresh, new way and find that your relationships
improve accordingly. Your finances will grow and increase even as you learn
to live on less and go without. The focus of your life in 2000 will be
communication . (To balance the impersonal
genius of the Aquarian experience, Pisces learns to sensitize, empathize
and give personally to others)
For many of us, our Progressed Chart has advanced
on to the next sign. If we are over sixty, we may be influenced by the
sign beyond that. We supposedly learn through each sign we "put on
and wear" for the different life stages of our existence.
