some news around the net

I have been enjoying an interview on coyote news network, from Caroline Casey's radio show. She talks about 2008 and the chart of the November election with Heather Roan-Robbins, who is an old and dear friend of mine and excellent astrologer. One point that she brings out is how we go in cycles between wanting the energy of Saturn in our lives(order, order, structure - then, ooops!totalitarianism!) to the energy of Uranus (freedom, freedom, chaos, oops! Can't pay the bills! Need more order...). Looking back at elections of recent decades, one frame is to view each president as a reaction to the previous.

After Nixon, we chose a very clean, Sunday School teaching Jimmy Carter. After Carter's stumbles and his seriousness about conserving, we picked "morning in America" for that Hollywood gauzy future that Reagan could promise. We sort of continued that with Bush Sr. but after the glow of the "painless Nintendo" Gulf War wore off, we looked for someone more inclusive and feeling, with Bill Clinton.

Goerge W. Bush was something of a reaction to the tabloid times of Clinton, although we would have had that with Gore and that election is still one that was not decided by the people. Now with eight years of scaring us, whether with fears of the boogie man or the sheer incompetence, we are looking for a doer AND a believer. It remains to be seen what will happen in this election, with a Saturn opposite Uranus. Caroline Casey says something along the lines of "Whether we win or not, the revolution will come."
