THE JUPITER-SATURN LINK to Presidential Assassinations

 
SINCE 1894, A SITTING PRESIDENT HAD DIED or been assassinated during the Jupiter-Saturn conjunction which occurs every twenty years. President Ronald Reagan may have broken the pattern when he survived the assassination attempt on his life. Hopefully, this is true because the next Jupiter-Saturn conjunction occurs this May/June of 2000 in the sign ofTaurus and involves the presidential term of President Clinton.
                         Presidential Terms affected by Conjunction
1840: Aquarius William Henry Harrison---died of pneumonia.
1860: Aquarius Abraham Lincoln---died in office from assassination
1880: Virgo James A Garfield---died in office from assassination
1900: Aquarius William McKinley---died in office from assassination
1920: Scorpio Warren G. Harding---died in office from pneumonia
1940: Aquarius Franklin D. Roosevelt---died of cerebral hemorrhage
1960: Gemini John F. Kennedy---died in office from assassination
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

                            SIGNS OF THE TIMES FOR 2000
 

Although there will still be some turbulent shocks and intense jolts this year there will be even more stretches of peace and calm as well. The massive alignment
of planets inTaurus this May suggests a possible peak in material and earthly abundance. It can also suggest more intense earthquakes, volcanoes and strange earthly disturbances. More than at any other time the environment will beg for our attention and we will feel the urgent need to protect the global atmosphere. The computer will take center stage as never before, for better and for worse.


          THE YEAR AHEAD FOR THE SIGNS:

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.
