I wish I was drunk.

What "The Age Of Aquarius" May Really Mean
.
The sweetest sight I've seen in ages: riot cops, running away.
...Among other things, people all over the world can join in helping the people of Iran protest against an unfair, rigged election. If you can't be in Tehran to shout and throw rocks, you can install tools on your computer to help participate in a Distributed Denial Of Service Attack against official government sources, and help keep the lines of communication open to the people on the streets... despite all official efforts to shut them up. Anyone with Internet access can do this.
Even an astrologer.
Oh, and in the event someone from the Iranian government is reading this and has a problem with it? Four words:
Sic semper tyrannus, bitches.

Carrie Prejean, Intolerance, And Your Mother
Normally I try to reserve comment on anything happening in the news amongst the famous without a solid, confirmed time of birth. But even without a time of birth, sometimes something will stand out really clearly. Like the transits being experienced by Carrie Prejean, the Miss California contestant who famously spoke out (half-coherently) against gay marriage and became a temporary icon of the anti-gay-marriage crowd.
Ms. Prejean has been fired, due "solely on contract violations, including Ms. Prejean's unwillingness to make appearances on behalf of the Miss California USA organization."
Apparently it's okay to make gays second-class citizens, but not if you don't show up as scheduled for mall openings and recruitment drives.
Carrie Prejean was born May 13th, 1987 (time unknown) in Vista, California. I wouldn't usually look at career and public issues within the context of a birth chart without a time: those issues belong to the Midheaven, the 10th House, and its ruler, none of which can be determined without the time of birth. What stands out to me as far as the transits she's having is that the current Moon-Neptune conjunction is squaring Carrie's Moon, which is not at all a comfortable thing for one's Moon-based issues.
The Moon in the birth chart can be said to rule a lot of things even if we don't know the house placements. Like, for example... your Mother.
And now it seems that Carrie Prejean's mother, divorced in 1988, may well be a lesbian.
Gee... now all of a sudden that line of Carrie's about "...in my family, I do believe that marriage should be between a man and a woman" makes perfect psychological sense, doesn't it?
Thank God that's over with. We can get back to life in a world without bigotry. Now if you'll excuse me... some neo-Nazi just shot up the Holocaust Museum in Washington DC.

Well I married my dream girl,
I married my dream girl
(Ah, the reality kicks in. We all start relationships on an emotional high, but it only serves to cover the flaws. In this case, your Dream Girl isn't going to be of financial benefit to you. Maybe you shouldn't be a husband at all... pimping is probably more your style.)
But she didn't tell me her credit was bad
(Don't you hate the terrible lies that always seem to screw up a relationship? This is why you shouldn't even go on a first date without a background check. Better get a blood panel and DNA test done too before dinner and a movie.)
So now instead of living in a pleasant suburb
We're living in the basement at her
Mom and Dad's
(Now, by "we," do you mean you and her... or you, her, and your apparently unemployed buddies who sit around the in-law's basement singing songs about how your bride has screwed your material ambitions? I'll bet her Mom and Dad are huge fans of the band, shouting requests at you from upstairs. "Now do the one about how she can't cook!")
No we can't get a loan for a respectable home
Just because my girl defaulted
on some old credit card
(That bitch! I'll bet she didn't get breast implants and had that threesome in college just to spite you, too.)
If we'd gone to free credit report dot com
I'd be a happy bachelor with a dog and a yard.
(Dude: there's no reason why you can't be a bachelor right now. As a matter of fact, I'll bet you will be soon enough. Then you and your band can go live in the park, where there are lots of dogs!)

Jupiter Amplifies Neptune: Laura Ling And Euna Lee In A North Korean Prison
There is a perfectly good reason why you won't find a whole lot of astrology articles out there about North Korea, despite their nuke-swinging swagger of late and their arrest of two American journalists.
-No one knows for sure where or when Kim Jong-il was born (Various sources disagree on the year and the place -- it may have been in the Soviet Union).
-North Korea itself has no less that three official birth days: March 1, 1919, August 15, 1945, and September 9, 1948. Even worse: the Rodden database (the gold standard of astrological data) gives September 12th, 1948 as the "date of birth." This would make it a Virgo with Moon in Capricorn... which I can believe, even if there's nothing to back it.
-I can't even find reliable birth data for US journalists Laura Ling and Euna Lee, who were recently sentenced to twelve years hard labor in a North Korean prison for illegally crossing the border from China into North Korea under mysterious circumstances.
North Korea is perhaps the biggest black box in modern political history. I've had a perverse interest in the place for a while now, and take my word for it -- they make Maoist China look like Sweden when it comes to openness and transparency. So, on some level, the secrecy and confusion and misdirection makes perfect sense. So, it's perhaps not surprising that the People's Republic, led by The Dear Leader, is in the news. Jupiter amplifies any planet it comes in contact with, and it's currently conjunct Neptune, easily the weirdest and most delusional planet in the astrological tool kit.
Having said that: I'm at as much of a loss to tell you what's going on as anyone and everyone else on the planet is. And what little I know... as with everyone else... scares the hell out of me.
Happy Jupiter-Neptune conjunction, everyone!
