Hi Mary, going forward with the 12/31 lunar eclipse, I note that the lunar sabian symbol seems to keep on giving: “A Clown is Caricaturing Well-Known Personalities.” Jon Stewart did a smashingly brilliant satire of the Massachusetts race on Comedy Central after the election. He also did a send-up of Keith Olbermann’s over the top comment on the character of Scott Brown.

The Sun’s sabian symbol: “Pheasants Display Their Brilliant Colors on a Private Estate.” is still active as news of mega-bonuses to Goldman Sachs personnel is back in the news.

There are many examples we can point to re the 12/31/09 eclipse and I mention these because they are quite dramatic.

The 1/15/10 solar eclipse has brought so much, including Haiti, Massachusetts and the SCOTUS ruling on Citizens United v. FEC (corporations can now pretty much buy their own candidates) that I’m still reeling….

Happy New Year?? /Claudia

Very nice work, Claudia..thank you..

Yes, the eclipse degree rising as the polls in MA opened and the Moon’s conjunction to Uranus..beautiful, clear symbolism..

I love what you say above too: “we’re blessed when we get a glimpse from the charts of what’s to come.”

Peace

I don’t think all outcomes are foreordained — and we are limited in our ability to know every possible permutation possible just by viewing a few charts –. However, in this case, I think the outcome was quite clear. I had the answer from the Moon’s approach to the conjunction with Uranus yesterday without even having to rely on the other charts I mentioned.

Most things aren’t that clear or easy to ascertain because most things are pretty mixed. I think the universe is vastly creative and we’re blessed when we get a glimpse from the charts of what’s to come.

Thanks, Claudia. The 25 Capricorn rising degree you mention sure looks eye-catching.

I think astrology can offer a hint of timing and clarification but I don’t think outcomes are written in the stars. Just my 2 cents.

The Moon’s last aspect on 1/19/10 was a conjunction to Uranus in Pisces. A woman’s (Moon) plans are upset and disrupted (Uranus). Also, the State of Massachusetts’ natal chart has Uranus at 27 Cancer opposite Ted Kennedy’s natal Saturn.

We’ve had several Saturn opposite Uranus transits starting with the first one of Election night 08 that have reiterated the above mentioned connection between Teddy’s natal chart and the one for Massachusetts. The chart for the polls opening in Massachusetts (1/19/10, 7:00 am, State of Massachusetts) had 25 CAP rising (the degree of the 1/15 eclipse).

It does appear that the outcome of this election was written in the stars.

All, in the chart lives on category…

Yesterday’s Republican win of Ted Kennedy’s 46-year Senatorship may be reflected in his chart and political legacy.

Pre-election

The Capricorn Solar Eclipse on Jan. 15 – in his 1st House opposing N Pluto, MC ruler – critically highlights personal and public reputation.

Election Day

T Sun-Venus at his N Saturn in 1st – Brings the eclipse wake-up call into high focus on his career.

T Uranus sextile N Saturn and conjunct N Node – With intensity; and, potentially, surprise or upset.

Claudia, I see “brilliant” was already covered in previous comments! I just love this article. Thank you for sharing your unique perspective on Teddy and the world–and this turning-point eclipse. I agree with Gary. When mundane astrology meets the astrology of personality, it’s an exciting conjunction! Hope to see many more from you with this dual approach.

Hello Claudia & All, I am a fan of the concept that the ‘chart lives on’ – a vivid siting of memory and astrology in my book.

I’ve looked at Ted Kennedy’s chart before but this time I was drawn to a simple measurement: He was born on the Full Moon in Virgo in the 8th House (Pisces Sun in his 2nd). An astrological highlight on the need for self-improvement and public service (the Virgo-Pisces axis) in the area of establishing and maintaining values, his and others’ (the 2nd-8th Houses).

An astrologer might have broadly anticipated a lifelong relationship between primary need and solar purpose and values. And, sensitively, life experience conditioned at times with deep clarity or confusion, perhaps. The kind that only Neptune (conjunct his N Moon) can imagine in us.

Best ahead with your blogging & cheers to less (political putdown) is more (effective astrology) in 2010!
