Our 2014 State of the Union Is…Nebulous and Deluded?

On the evening of Tuesday January 28, 2014, President Obama is scheduled to give his 2014 State of the Union Address to Congress and the nation. At the scheduled hour of 9:00 pm est–though he won’t begin speaking until a few minutes afterwards–America’s natal Neptune rises in Washington DC and since our nation was *
The Current ‘Illumination’ Solar Eclipse with Uranus-Neptune content: Trine vs Hidden Square
by Jude Cowell
Since the influences of the November 3, 2013 Solar Eclipse in Scorpio remain in effect until at least April 2014 along with its Uranus-Neptune trine ‘solutions and bright ideas’ content, it occurs to me that perhaps more positive solutions may be found and implemented if each of us-

January 8, 2014: the 50th Anniversary of LBJ’s War On Poverty
Since Republicans and their wealthy backers have their ‘hearts’ set on more cuts to our nation’s safety net programs, many of which were created by President Johnson (Medicare, Food Stamps, Head Start, increased Social Security benefits for the elderly, etc), it may be good to reflect astrologically on January 8, 1964 v January 8,

The US government often uses the lame excuse of "unintended consequences" for its actions but it turns out that the phenomenon can work against them, too. The following interview, uploaded months ago in an ill-fated attempt by the NSA to ‘clear its reputation’, has backfired on the nosy agency and garnered it a Most Hated Video of 2013 label. Watch or re-watch it in all its shabby lameness if you
With Congress returning to Capitol Hill on Monday January 6, 2014 and having important business to conduct (exs: Janet Yellen as Fedhead, extension of unemployment benefits if senior House Republicans agree), we may expect compassion for the plights of unemployed citizens to be expressed by some members, if not shown by others.
