September Transits to the U.S. Chart

This month sees the anniversary of the World Trade Center attacks, and it might be useful to take a look at where the country is at, regarding the terrorism threat and the Bush White House. September is also the first month of a Fall period leading up to important mid-term elections that may well be seen as a referendum on where the nation is headed. And not coincidentally, since Saturn is square to Jupiter in the sky at this time, the two planets that mark social periods, some sort of assessment is indicated on the events that have transpired on the political scene since their conjunction in 2000.

Of course the situation is eroding. The invasion of Iraq on a pretext has proven to be a vast and costly mistake, as well as immoral and in violation of international law, as most would now agree, around the world and even in this country. The transits to the U.S. chart on this fifth anniversary of the attacks reflect the tumultuous state of the current situation (see chart ).

For one thing, as Pluto stations on September 4th, just one week prior to the 9-11 date, it aspects U.S. Mercury almost exactly while it sextiles U.S. Moon, representing the public. This implies further transformation for the information services of this country, and the public's perception of them. This country's media have unfortunately done a poor job of keeping people informed over the past few years, and it starting to catch up with them. Pluto also triggers the natal Mars – Neptune square in the U.S. chart, symbolizing a further transformation of the relationship between deception and the military, already implicated in propaganda scandals in recent weeks and in keeping mum about misconduct as an occupying army, which is of course nothing new. The public perception regarding these deficits is starting to change in a big way however, which is likely to become more pronounced over the next few years. The slogan of "I'm mad as hell and I'm not going to take it any more" is beginning to take hold everywhere in this country, as indicated by the truly Nixonian approval rating of this administration.

Also on that day, transiting Mars crosses the U.S. Midheaven and transiting Saturn squares U.S. Chiron, both indicators of potentially tragic impending events concerning the U.S. military.

Finally, the Lunar Eclipse of September 7th takes place just days before the 9-11 anniversary, involving a grand trine between transiting Jupiter, transiting Uranus conjunct the eclipse Moon, and U.S. Sun, indicating that this period will indeed be an important and potentially enlightened period of time for all of us, with the potential for sudden new information and changes of direction. May it finally be so.
