Friday, Sept. 30 - Saturday, Oct. 1 Well, here we are in the Mars station zone -- right here-now. It?s a get-reoriented moment, as THE forward moving energy of the astrological system reverses itself. Two articles above describe the phenomenon, though I don?t think I?ve looked at it closely enough from the very personal standpoint. There is time, however, as Mars will be retrograde for the next 10 weeks. For anyone who missed my daily horoscopes on Cainer.com (as Jonathan takes over again for the weekend), here are the first three editions. I?ll be standing in Monday and Tuesday, the day of the annular eclipse and the day after, as well. http://planetwavesweekly.com/drdc8/cainer/PW050928.html http://planetwavesweekly.com/drdc8/cainer/PW050929.html http://planetwavesweekly.com/drdc8/cainer/PW050930.html Also, a brief clarification on the Iran-Contra scandal, referenced in the article Whole Earth Review. There was one resignation from the Bush-Reagan administration as a result of this twisted abuse of public power: Admiral John Poindexter, the National Security Advisor (that was Condi Rice?s old job, the person who coordinates national security issues on behalf of the president); and one dismissal, Lt. Colonel Oliver North, a ranking member of his staff. Poindexter was convicted of felonies but managed not to go to jail. There were other legal actions as well, some of which are outlined in this chronology: http://snipurl.com/i2jq This is the Wikipedia link on the "October Surprise" issue: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/October_Surprise and on Iran Contra http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iran-Contra_Affair You will need to put the two together... In honor of the 19th anniversary of this moment in American history (and the identicl twin eclipse, which happens Monday), we?re pulling together a little self-study resource for you, which will hopefully be ready early next week. These links are to get you started. Thanks for tuning in. Catch you soon. e
