Today, Harriet Miers withdrew from consideration for the Supreme Court. Miers, you will recall, was nominated on a Solar Eclipse with the asteroid Harriet (1744) only two degrees from the Solar Eclipse point. She issued her withdrawal with asteroid Harriet at 22.26 Libra - 2 degrees from the Oct. 17 Lunar Eclipse point.
Of course all of this unpleasantness could have been avoided if Sandra Day O’Connor hadn’t had a hissy fit about getting passed over for Chief Justice. (Edited to add: Well, perhaps that was a bit mean-spirited. I mean, that was the gossip, but the ostensible reason was to care for her sick husband, so I shouldn’t be such a shit about it, I guess.) Interestingly, asteroid Sandra (1760) is currently at 20.52 Virgo, headed for a conjunction with the U.S. Neptune (Sibley chart). Pretty fitting, given her resignation from the court has placed the country on a path to a full scale ideological showdown.
Time for Bush to appoint a no-holds-barred, base-chumming ideologue to try to bolster support before the indictments come down? Yeah, probably. He’ll need to act fast: Asteroid Fitzgerald (3665) is currently at 23.07 Libra, opposed asteroid George (3854) at 20.36 Aries - conjunct the U.S. Chiron.

In honor of this month’s eclipses in Libra and Aries, I’ve posted a new article at my website entitled “You Were Asleep”:
Eclipses simply tell you that a crisis has arisen, and something in your life must change. There are no guarantees that the changes will be permanent or positive, just that they must happen. And while the storm swirls around you and alters the landscape of your life, there you stand, motionless in the deceptively still eye of the hurricane. For you, my friend, are the constant. The eclipse is in your chart. All this turmoil has nothing to do with your boss, your mother, or the checker at the supermarket. You are the one who fell asleep at the wheel of your life; but bless you, you are trying to wake up…

I guess it’s the Sun approaching that conjunction with Jupiter - picture a sort of Henry VIII figure sitting at a banquet table that’s groaning with food and drink, waving a turkey leg and hollering “Fetch me more mead!” Well, Sun/Jupiter or whatever, we’ve got a busy weekend coming up. Friday night my buddy Natori is lecturing at SDAS about Mars retrograde, so we’ll be going to that. It’s weird…I’ve been a member of SDAS for something like ten years, have been a speaker (and will be speaking again in April 2006), designed their website and act as webmistress, but I don’t think I’ve been to a meeting in three or four years. What can I say; nobody believes me, since I can be a fairly … strenuous personality, but basically I’m shy.
On Saturday my brother and his wife are descending from the high desert for an overnight visit. We’ll probably haul them off with us to our friend Claudia’s art opening on Saturday night; she’s in a four-woman show, a tribute to Frida Kahlo and celebration of the Day of the Dead. Claudia’s paintings rule; I can’t wait to see her tributes to Frida.
Then Sunday is Jonny’s birthday, so we’re having some friends over for dinner and cake and general revelry. This month’s eclipses are really pounding him hard - conjuncting, opposing, and/or squaring his Sun, Mercury, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune - and he’s pretty stressed out. The guy could use some champagne, is all I’m sayin’… so we’ll do our best to cheer him up.
Full Moon is on Monday, so look for a new article on my website this Saturday. This one’s about eclipses (surprise, surprise). Speaking of which, I’m running a special on my eclipse reports: If you order one before the 17th you get a free “Sky Within” report, with text by Steven Forrest. Rush over now and buy a bushel!
