Predatory Capitalism Supports the GOP’s Corporate Tax Cut Bill<\/b><\/p>\n

Dec 2, 2017: this morning “shortly before 2 am ET” (Reuters News), Republicans passed their version of the Tax Cut Bill (51–49)<\/b> with only Republican Senator Bob Corker<\/b> voting Nay. No Democrat voted for this historic monstrosity weighted on the side of the billionaire\/corporate classes. Of course, the Senate version must be reconciled with the House version before Mr. Trump can sign the bill into law, he hopes before or by Christmas.<\/p>\n

The horoscope for December 2, 2017<\/b> shortly before 2 am ET presents an interesting picture. The chart I’m looking at is set for 1:48 am ET<\/b> because it places US natal Jupiter (5Can56)<\/b> at Midheaven, the Goal Point of the chart (which, without an exact time, is a symbolic chart of the event). Now as you know, our national Jupiter @6Cancer = “Game Birds Feathering Their Nests”<\/b> which fits Congress perfectly then as now, don’t you agree?<\/p>\n

Adriano Carelli gives ‘6Cancer’ a symbol of: “Alcibiades, walking through Athens with his famous dog, whose ‘most beautiful red tail’ he has cut”<\/b> and says it’s a degree of “a spendthrift, devoid of practical sense.” Carelli adds that having luck, “he will reach what he has set his heart upon and go on throwing money out the window with the utmost composure, certain that he will somehow manage to earn more,” and that “His recklessness might go so far as to bring about his own ruin.” (Note that Carelli’s book The 360 Degrees of the Zodiac<\/i> has the name Alcidiades<\/i>–correct spelling is Alcibiades<\/a>.)<\/p>\n

Rising at 1:48 am is 5Libo5<\/b> which makes money-and-values planet Venus<\/b> the chart-ruler (and vote-ruler) yet Venus @1Sag07 in 2nd house of Money and Values makes no major applying aspects to other planets. But there is a minor semi-square from Venus<\/b> to powerful wealth-hoarding saboteur, Pluto<\/b> and The Creepy One is inconjunct and in karmic<\/i> Nodal Degree with the North Node (17Cap50 to 17Leo28). The Venus-Pluto<\/b> contact hints at wastefulness which supports the protective Water Grand Trine between Jupiter, Neptune, and US natal Jupiter at MC<\/b> (1:48 am ET). A Water Grand Trine appreciates emotional enrichment and material prosperity<\/i> (Tierney). No doubt on the emotional plane, Senate Republicans are cats with the cream this morning! Ef<\/i> the national debt and deficit!<\/p>\n

So as you know, year 2009 was imprinted with the current Jupiter-Neptune cycle beginning with three conjunctions between Jupiter and Neptune, the speculator-wastrel pair of bubbly finances, unrealistic dreams, and fortune-hunters<\/i>. All three conjunctions landed on America’s natal Aquarian Moon<\/b> (We The People) and denoted potentials for losing oneself in plans; a desire to dream; little sense of reality; becoming involved in speculation; instability; wastefulness<\/b><\/i> (Ebertin). Note that the Jupiter-Neptune cycle<\/b> lasts approximately 13 years so we’re stuck with its affect on We The People’s Moon until the planets meet again–once–on April 12, 2022 @23Pis59<\/b> (during a US Neptune opposition!)<\/p>\n

Yet even without US natal Jupiter and this chart’s MC forming a Grand Trine, transit Jupiter and Neptune do trine one another in the chart, an aspect suggesting efforts that stimulate social programs and benefit the needy<\/i>–the very opposite of what the GOP Tax Cut Bill intends! However, karma<\/i> will supply the GOP’s ‘reaping what was sown’ results–if not now, then in future years–perhaps in 2018 and 2020 elections, and\/or when the alleged tax breaks for the middle class expire and all chaos breaks loose financially and in the realms of healthcare. <\/p>\n

Mercury<\/b>, ruling 9th and 12th houses in this chart and planet of votes, bills, and negotiations, is @29Sag12 (’30Sag’ = “The Pope Blessing the Faithful”). Is the Vatican involved?? As you know, a 29th degree is unstable and very eager to move into the next sign–here, into Saturn-ruled Capricorn, sign of government, law, and business.<\/p>\n

A Sun-Neptune Square and Pluto-Chiron Exploitation<\/b><\/p>\n

Squared by fraudster Neptune<\/b> (11Pis29), karmic planet of the media<\/i> and the masses<\/i>, the (POTUS-related) Sun @10Sag16<\/b> is in 3rd house of Communications and its Sabian Symbol for ’11Sag’<\/b> is curious: “The Lamp of Physical Enlightenment at the Left Temple”…keyword: RECONCILIATION<\/b> which what this senate bill is headed for. And as anyone can see, the US Capitol Building is nothing if not a Masonic temple<\/i>. Plus, ’11Sag’ is the conjunction degree of the last meet-up of Pluto and Chiron<\/b> (conjunct US natal Ascendant), one of the major Plutocracy<\/b> pairs; their last conjunction occurred December 30, 1999<\/b> and thus helped usher in the New Millennium via<\/i> the pair’s tendencies toward oppression, predatory exploitation, primal violence, racism and other -ism<\/i>s (exs: predatory Capitalism, Socialism). And of course, the August 11, 1999 Solar Eclipse<\/b> in the 1 North<\/b> Saros Series (the series we’re under now with The Great American Eclipse of August 2017 @29Leo) ‘let go the winds of war’ as the Book of Revelation predicted. Also note that under the vibes of a 1 North<\/b> solar eclipse, “information is distorted and possibly false” and events “put pressure on relationships” (Brady) as we see with Robert Mueller’s Russia investigation into the shady foreign affairs of Donald Trump and his crew.<\/p>\n

Mars Opposite Uranus Fading But Still Influential<\/b><\/p>\n

We should also mention that rising in 1st house<\/b> is brash Mars @25Lib32<\/b>, fresh from his exact opposition to anarchist-zealot Uranus @24Ari58 Rx<\/b> in the 7th house of Partnerships. This opposition of danger and conflict was discussed in a recent related post, Mars oppo Uranus as GOP forces Tax Cut Bill<\/a><\/b>. Perhaps Mars in the 1:48 am chart represents Republican Senator Bob Corker who did not vote for the GOP bill that will disrupt (Uranus) many areas of our society and raise our nation’s debt and deficit to unprecedented levels, thereby sabotaging America.<\/p>\n

Money-Bags Jupiter in Big Business Scorpio, Sign of Betrayal<\/b><\/p>\n

Transit Jupiter<\/b>, planet of bankers, donors, financiers, politicians, military generals, and preachers is in 2nd house of Money and Values @11Sco19<\/b> and approaches the upcoming Jupiter Return of Ronald Reagan<\/b><\/a> under whose watch the last major overhaul of US taxes took place. The first of three conjunctions of transit Jupiter to Reagan’s natal Jupiter position occurs December 14, 2017<\/b> with its ‘tax cuts for corporations stimulates job growth’ fallacy now being re-used by Capitol Hill Republicans in spite of the fact that corporate tax cuts do not<\/i> inspire corporations to re-invest in US workers and the economy<\/i>. Having been burned before, this time a majority of Americans are not buying into the tiresome GOP-touted job-creation fallacy<\/a> that Reagan lifted from Hoover times of the 1920s. And here we go crashing again.<\/p>\n

~:~<\/p>\n

In keeping with America’s downward spiral under the current ‘Game Bird’ Republican ‘leadership’ you may also wish to view a horoscope for December 8, 2017: Government Shutdown?<\/a> and weep with yours truly over what national and local politicians have perpetrated upon our nation.<\/p>\n
