Summer: One Nation Indivisible?

(2.04.01-3.6.01) -- Within 24 hours of the birthday of our nation's Independence Day and President Bush's birthday July 5 2001, there is a Full Moon eclipse. It follows a total New Moon eclipse on the Summer Solstice, June 21. What does this mean? Well, I can guarantee it won't be a boring Summer, nor a boring year for that matter. I anticipate a "windy" Summer. This may certainly prove to be a metaphor on ‘The Hill.' Expect power plays throughout the year between the President, Congress, and the Senate. Economic woes are yet to fully develop. The tax plan goes through boosting Bush's confidence and votes this Fall into Winter. But, what about the national debt? It looks like a sore spot for the US economy in the long run.

This eclipse phase over the Summer hits our nation's economy below the belt. Both Spring and Summer, the President continues to deal with domestic economic difficulties. He continues working to instill faith into the people, there is a religious undertone or overtone to the new identity of the President. This may be necessary given the planetary energy beginning this Summer, e.g., do the Democrats finally win the vote in Florida?

This astrological sequence strongly indicates a nation divided in the year ahead. A nation at odds. Bush, as he represents this country, is likely to be dealing with minority groups Spring, Summer and Winter. Moral and ethical decisions are bound to be on his mind. He is giving the leadership a more sensitive stance. (I guess this explains the compassionate side to his conservative nature.)

There are things going on behind the scenes this Spring and Summer that make us vulnerable to opposite parties, e.g, see articles "Hackers Delight" and "Concerns." Open enemies tend to be illusive and are likely to be the power behind any minority group activity, e.g., the Democratic party, NAACP, Women's Rights, foreign minorities in our land and on and on and on ... Will it manifest in just one area? Probably not.

As well, the potential threat of chemical and or biological warfare are serious considerations and may be a sensitive spot to the leaders of our nation. A theme question becomes, "Is it just a fear, or is it real?" This is bound to send in a cold war atmosphere as early as August 5, 2001. Prior to this -- Spring and Summer -- expect war on some level. Eclipses have long lasting consequences. For example, the eclipse that I believe began the Bear economic cycle hit in August of 1999. We did not see a profound drop in the economy until April 14, 2000. Eight months later. In hindsight, it was predictable. Nevertheless, the economic and political saga continues.

So, the New Moon eclipse on the Summer Solstice, and the Full Moon eclipse on our Nation's birthday and Bush's birthday indicate a year of opposition for our nation whether it's on the hill, with the economy, in space, with Russia, China, Iraq, or Osama bin Laden. The psychology of the nation is one of "people looking for a ping pong match." So for heaven sakes, don't just stand there, volley!

Key dates for this developing saga: The New Moon May 22 to the Full Moon June 5 will give us an indication of things brewing. Communication errors are a key factor between June 21 and July 5. Sometime between July 11-13, 2001 information will likely come to Bush behind-the-scenes that effects the nation's finances and/or our values. Let's watch and see.
