Beltane morning we find the Sun in Taurus 15 degrees conjunct Mercury retrograde 16 degrees at this zodical power point with Pluto inconjunct both coming from the 8th House of Death an Destruction. Who 'We' are as a Nation and what "We" value as a people is embodied in this man's image to the world. On this pivotal day of power, our National face shown the world is of Death, Destruction and wanton greed. Everything spoken by this Spectre is double speak with Mercury retrograde in Gemini, "Liar, Liar pants on fire!". Pluto coming at us out of the 8th House has formed an inconjunct with the Sun and Mercury, a nasty triggering mechanism that sets events in motion. Now trining Pluto is Venus in Aries coming out of the 12th House, the woman scorned (Sharon Bush?), ouch, this is semi-sextile to the Sun, so things may be revealed that are none to flattering to Bushco.
So what else is new? None of the above is any great revelation.
The Moon, is in Cancer, 3rd House and creating another inconjunct set of aspects with Neptune and Mars in Aquarius in the Executive's House. Whilst agression (Mars) and delusion (Neptune) runs rampant and unchecked throughout the Administration, the People's House, the 4th, finds Jupiter in opposition to both Mars and Neptune which is fueling the dreams of world domination and imperialism. The Moon however confounded over the agression and illusions should be pounding on the press, saying HEY!! What the?
The People must make their voice heard, squeaky wheels, here in the House of the Press. The voices of the People (Moon) through the media (3rd House) have a trine with Uranus in Pisces in the 11th House of the Senate/House. This trine then lends our Senators and Congressmen the power they require from the People to change the direction of our Nation from a path of destruction to a path of peace and tolerance. Pound on your Federal representatives!!!!
With Uranus quintile Pluto the occupants of the 11th House may have their own agenda when it comes to reshaping the Middle-East and the spoils of victory. The Sun meanwhile struts his stuff, he forgets about his checks and balances, and boy howdy they will come due.
Speaking of balancing acts, Saturn on this morning sits in the 2nd House counting all his money, what mercurial numbers they are!...Saturn inconjunct the US. Midheaven brings fiscal irresponsibility to light demanding clarity to 'fuzzy math', thus adding even greater pressure to the occupants of the 10th House.
For those of you who heed the ancient lines ~ the veils between the worlds are at their thinest at Samhain, so it holds true at Cetsamhain. These hundreds of innocent spirits having been so brutally and savegely wrenched from the living by this war of liberation from this incarnation are crossing back over to begin again. What children will spring forth.
Abuses by this Administration continue coming to light. The atrocities, the lies! The complete disregard of International Law by those who have put themselves above it. For shame that the United States of America commits these crimes against humanity. Children incarcerated at Quantanamo in Cuba! We the People who see and remain silent are as guilty as those with the blood on their hands.
Beltane, take the time to sow the seeds of change or what you see is what you'll get. There is power in the people. The People just need to use it.
Sung along the old straight track
And those who ancient lines did ley
Will heed this song that calls them back".

'Oh do not tell the Priest our plight,
Or he would call it a sin;
But we have been out in the woods all night,
A-conjuring Summer in!'
