As you know, Mr. Oliver subbed for Jon Stewart on <b>The Daily Show<\/b> all last summer when Jon was off making a film. Now HBO would undoubtedly take offence if I embedded a video of the Brunei report, so I won&#8217;t but below is a performance by John Oliver&#8211;delivered in Montreal&#8211;concerning <b>America<\/b>, with Brunei&#8217;s natal details following.<\/p>\n<p>If you remember, the Sultan of Brunei, an oil-rich nation, is often seen at the toniest of places including the White House (the country&#8217;s Sharia Law notwithstanding)  and he was the dude who in 1996 threw a lavish 2-week-long party and invited Michael Jackson to perform. The Sultan, as John Oliver notes in his Brunei report, did not attend the concert.<\/p>\n<p>Now if you wish to set up Brunei&#8217;s natal horoscope you&#8217;ll find that transit Pluto (of oil and pipeline fame) has entered 4th house and conjoined first, Mercury, then natal Sun @9Cap24. There&#8217;s a lot going on behind the scenes in Brunei so invisible Pluto must feel right at home.<\/p>\n<p>You&#8217;ll also see that natal Mars @24Lib29, the first natal planet to rise in the chart&#8211;followed by Pluto @1Sco47&#8211;is in process of a national Mars Return on these dates indicating a new cycle of activity: February 6, 2014; March 24, 2014 (Rx); and upcoming is July 15, 2014.<\/p>\n<p>  <iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"420\" height=\"315\" src=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/mwEGHlqbjw8\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>  <\/p>\n<p>From Campion&#8217;s <i>The Book of World Horoscopes<\/i>, we learn that Brunei, formerly a British Protected State, received full independence on January 1, 1984 at 00:00 CCT.
