What the Planets Say about North Korea and George
Bush's Diplomacy
The Sun, Mars, and Venus traveling
through the peaceful sign of Libra, may present an
opportunity for President George Bush to bring the
global community together toward a diplomatic solution
to North Korea's nuclear ambitions. These transiting
planets working with the President's Moon and Jupiter in
Libra, may aid him in his efforts. The leader Kim Jong
Il, characterized as crazy by many international
analysts, is doing the chest beating to be expected due
to the recent Full Moon that triggered the action of the
eclipse last March, both in the impulsive, hot tempered,
war like sign of Aries. The potential now for a peaceful
solution is at its peak and but the window in time for
this will be moving along after October 23. President
Bush, while at a low point in popularity, may be able to
use the diplomacy of the Libra planets (pacifist Mahatma
Gandhi’s was a Libra), to convince the leaders of
China (a Libra country), and Russia to join him in his
efforts. While the sun sign in Aries does not make
people war like, it is the sign of soldiers. When Venus
is in Libra, it is often an indication that efforts to
negotiate delicate matters will be successful.

What are the Planets doing in Not So Mellow Mel
Gibson's Latest 'Bad Boy' Episode?
Actor
Mel Gibson's recent
'bad boy' episode may be a result of the
September 22 Solar Eclipse that fell around his Moon.
This triggered an emotional outburst (eclipses stir us
up). He may have been doing just what he claims,
battling old demons of impulsive behavior that are
released when he's drinking. Mel's luck may be dimming
for a while as his truly lucky star, Regulus (called the
king maker) sitting on his Pluto, may be blocked by the
stern rays of task master Saturn while it travels over
it early next year. Saturn has only begun to wreak havoc
by clamping down on Mel. Over the next six months, it
will bring him more restrictions and further challenges.
Mel's emotions are wound as tight as a rubber band with
a tendency to snap and reveal his inner, somewhat
eccentric, individualistic self. His Venus in the quirky
sign of Aquarius and his rebellious planet Uranus at a
challenging opposition to Mercury (communication), make
him occasionally want to tell 'em what he really thinks.
He draws inner strength from his heartfelt conservative
values, since his Sun and Mercury are in traditional
Capricorn. These inconsistencies show him as a
fascinating character who struggles to manage his inner
demons, rather than just a one dimensional boy scout or
religious do-gooder. Understanding him through the
vantage point of astrology gives us a more complex look
at the forces that make up him a true 'Braveheart'.

Recent Full Moon on an Eclipse May
Bring a Love Connection
The Full Moon last Thursday may
ignite a number of hot new love connections so if you
meet someone new and exciting, give them a chance to
light up your sky as the planets are pretty steamy this
month. Mars, Venus (the planet of love) and even the Sun
are all in the romantic sign of Libra and every Libra
lives for love. Meanwhile last week's passionate Full
Moon in Aries brings all the intensity of a Spanish
Flamenco dancer to the arena. Since the Full Moon
triggered the drama of the Aries eclipse from last
March, the firecracker atmosphere is bringing out the
wild tiger/tigress in lovers who might customarily be
known for being cautious and demure. As the saying goes,
"Viva la difference!" - spoken like a true
Libra.
