National Political Astrology: Sagittarius Harry Reid (D) Makes a Negregious Slur
First, the Census 2010 has the word “Negro” as an option for racial classification. Then, Sen. Harry Reid of Nevada says President Barack Obama lacks a “Negro dialect.” What is the deal with all this Negregiousness? Okay, I’m being a little silly, but really, is it that big of a deal? How old is Harry Reid? Um, he’s 70…and he’s a Sagittarius. His natal Mercury is not only in Sagittarius, too, but it is also, you guessed it, Retrograde. Sagittarians are born with Centaurian “hoof-in-mouth” syndrome and lack of tact. Just ask Nancy Pelosi about their inappropriate public gestures. But of all the signs of the Zodiac, Sagittarians are one of the least likely to be racist. Why? They are ruled by Jupiter, the ruler of foreign places, expansive consciousness, higher learning, and generosity. Now, I’m not saying there aren’t any Sagitta-racists, I’m just giving you some food for thought.
Give Senator Reid a break. His natal and progressed Mercury are both receiving transits from the Jupiter, Neptune, and Chiron conjunction, while transiting Pluto is sitting on his natal Venus, and transiting Uranus, in concert with natal Pluto and natal Neptune, are forming aspects to his progressed Venus. In short, his reputation is taking a beating and the public is not very appreciative of him right now, while the media is using his words and actions against him rather than for him. His progressed Sun is awfully close to Chiron and Neptune which can sometimes be a signal of retirement but we will see how he fares in the upcoming election. In any case, I’ve got nothing against the man.
PA Political Astrology: Pisces Jim Gerlach (R) drops out of 2010 Gubernatorial Race
While I was fluttering about on twitter, I came across a tweet by Politicspa about Jim Gerlach’s withdrawal from the PA Governor’s race. My immediate reaction was, “Well, that sounds very Mercury Retrograde-esque,” and then I decided to check the planets. I found a birth date of February 25, 1955 on Wikipedia, and plugged it into Astro.com. I’ve used a default birth time of 6am, though exact time is unknown- I will not be taking house positions or rulerships into account. (See chart graphic below.)
The first thing I noticed was good ‘ol Uranus- the King of Unexpected. Gerlach has a natal Venus/Uranus opposition, though Jupiter is also conjunct Uranus which adds an element of expansion or luck (good or bad) into the equation. This opposition is currently being hit by a conjunction of the transiting North and South Nodes. In addition, his progressed Venus is sitting in a conjunction with transiting Uranus. To me, this signals an unexpected change in a financial situation. God knows, finances are key to succeeding in politics. It could also indicate issues with a spouse but I don’t know anything about his personal life. We’ll see if the news sheds any light on this issue.
I also noticed that transiting Pluto is conjunct Gerlach’s natal North Node, which is also being squared by transiting Saturn. Pluto always brings a heavy load with it- even when it’s good. He could be going through a major change to his lifestyle or career path, though I’d need further details on house positions to see that. There is talk that he will instead, run for re-election in the 6th Congressional District. (See articles on Politico, Politicspa, and Capitol Ideas.) In any case, I do wish him the best in whatever he decides- he is a good looking guy, even for a Republican. 
I’m no longer hostile towards him since he defeated Lois Murphy…twice. She has just been elected as the first Democratic Judge in Montgomery County. You can also follow him on twitter: @JimGerlach.
Mars/Saturn: Gun Violence, Rockets, Legalized Rape, and Shoot N*ggas [*Explicit*]
So, let’s see, T Mars is currently opposing T Saturn and approaching a conjunction with T Uranus and in the news we’ve got:
-
Five children found dead in Graham-area home
-
Three officers killed in Pittsburgh
-
Acquaintances of suspected gunman recount troubled past
-
North Korea said to launch rocket
-
London police arrest 122 after G20 violence
-
Afghan Law on Women Brings Societal Conflict Onto World Stage
This Mars/Saturn opp is conj my N Saturn in Virgo (which is also conj my N Sun & Moon) and of course I am feeling extra aggressive. I’ve noticed that I am sensitive to Mars/Pluto and Mars/Saturn transits, plus T Uranus is approaching a trine to my N Mars and an opp to my N Sun. I’ve decided to bring gangsta rap back into my iTunes playlist even though I am a hardcore classic rock and flower-power fan. Right now, I need some angry energy, especially for those evenings at the gym on the treadmill.
I actually have just downloaded a song called “Shoot N*ggas” by Styles P. featuring Raw Buck. The lyrics are below: (WARNING: explicit, angry, gangsta rap below. Read at your own risk.) Also, I’m just feeling the effects of a transit but can you imagine feeling that angry all the time for most of your young and adult life? There are a lot of people who do whether they be in the urban ghettos, rural militias, middle eastern terrorist groups, etc. There is a lot of anger in this world. 
[Intro: Styles P]
Yeah! FUCK niggaz!
Grease whattup? Vacant Lot
I’m a EXPOSE these bitches!
You don’t like me SET IT![Styles P:]
This ain’t for the radio, nor for the video
This is for the nigga with his banger by his shitter hole
Comin out the box crazy bear cause his shit is swole
Ready to roll, no holds barred
Gettin amped up, just lookin at his old scars
Yeah, you know it’s on when the real nigga hatin you
No sleep, think about, the steel penetratin you
He the type to break the blade off in you
Fuck a cage when you know that it’s a cage up in you
What? Kinda hard to not, go on a murder spree
Paintin niggaz burgundy, put ‘em to surgery
Go kill they family like the shit was a urgency
S.P. is back, call the state of emergency
Nigga get the N-G-O’s, shit you bend in your rolls
The men in your holes, all of my foes
All you smell is gunpowder then the scent of a rose, what![Chorus: Styles P]
Shoot niggaz, cut niggaz, fuck niggaz, what niggaz
Butt niggaz really shouldn’t bop, you strut niggaz
Firearm touch niggaz, light him like a dutch nigga
Stop, look at your watch, you know that time’s up nigga[Raw Buck:]
Fuck all these niggaz, let ‘em die slow
Pistol-whip somethin ’til you break the raw{? } snow
Shoot a nigga throat out, hawk him in his eyeball
Let that nigga burn for tryin to run through this firewall
New world order, Raw Buck, S.P.
Twin tec ninas leave him wetter than a jet ski
I’m the rawest rookie, fire me where the vest be
I got a awkward offense, but I got the best D
Greatest man alive, no I’m not E.S.T.
Hoppin out the Nestle Crunch, color S.E.
Nod to the anthem, I’m a ride with the Phantom
Whether we in the fuckin Who-Ride or a Phantom
Real niggaz to feel it, fake niggaz’ll fear it
I been with the real and I break fake niggaz spirits
All bear witness the truth nigga
I got no remorse, and I never been hesitant to shoot nigga[Chorus]
[Styles P:]
Trust me, you don’t really know who you fuckin with
The gun is called Dick, won’t you go ahead and suck it bitch
E’rybody fly, actin like a fuckin bitch
If you ask me then e’rybody’s a fuckin trick
Let me ease up, these niggaz ain’t G’d up
They more like E’d up, once that I re’d up
Shoot him in his face, while he rollin his weed up
You rap with security, you pussy
If you sell crack without authority you pussy
Nigga can’t run a block cause them niggaz’ll run over you
Probably wouldn’t jump, if they threw a gun over you
You ain’t built for what you talkin about
You unworthy, oughta get hawked in your mouth
I got a white boyfriend that woulda called you a poser
Got a nigga in jail that woulda made you a dosier
You a wack-ass rapper nigga, fuck it it’s over[Chorus]
[Outro: Styles P]
Yeah, you know who the fuck it is
I got a story to tell
If you don’t know it find out about it, bitch!
Nobody eats no more, hardest out point blank period
You don’t believe me send all the motherfuckers at once
YEAH! WOOF![ Shoot Niggas Lyrics on http://www.lyricsmania.com/ ]
