Astrology: Charting the Rise of Ron Paul

[MikefromSyracuse]

In the RP campaign chart of May 13, 2011 a key transit this weekend is progressed Moon in an exact closing square to natal Pluto -- imo this reflects how the intense weather in SC is affecting voter turnout which is to RP's advantage.

This also reflects taking on the power structure, the establishment (Pluto in Capricorn) which is indicated by REV PAC's event tonight taking on the MSM. A surge of money donations also looks probable after tonight since progressed Moon is in Taurus phase of 5th house. Money invested/donated to campaign.

Also there were RPF threads today describing strong active military voter turnout and large numbers of firemen coming out to vote as if they have been planning and coordinating this. This indicates a more favorable expression of Pluto in Capricorn. and Uranus in Aries in Pisces phase of 10th house.

This Moon square Pluto also reflects strong catalyst leading to greater college voter turnout due to their desire to feel powerful and take on the GOP and corporate establishment.

These and other events today are reflected and augmented by other favorable transits ie Sun now in Aquarius square natal Mars, Jupiter conjunct natal Mars, Venus sextile Pluto and conjunct Chiron.

Romney's campaign chart has progressed Moon at Gemini 29* 58' -- unstable and critical period occurring for the past month and more intensified starting after the NH primary -- their poor response to the Bain controversy ie Cayman Island accounts, exposure regarding Mitt's tax returns and his poor response, the Iowa Caucus debacle exposed as now Santorum being declared the clear winner.

The long Mars transit is going back and forth across the Ascendent of the campaign chart indicating erratic, compulsive and aggressive behavior leading to unwise political and public relations decisions. This will continue through February.

The long Mars transit is also going back and forth opposite Mitt's Sun in his personal chart (this month and Feb) -- a stressful aspect reflecting a "fight or flight" mode he's feeling as the campaign has turned negative for him. Mitt's wife Ann has had MS since 1998 and he is now aware of Marianne Gingrich who also has MS and who was under stress and dumped by Newt in the midst of being diagnosed. See her ABC interview. (MS = Multiple Sclerosis)

This "coincidence" of MS of both his wife and Marianne G has personal and karmic undertones and may intensify his anger and disrespect towards Gingrich and lead to some intense verbal and campaign ad battles for the next few weeks.

Their composite chart (Mitt + Newt) is volatile and confrontational -- T square of Sun, Pluto, Venus -- Moon opposite Uranus -- Mars opposite Jupiter -- all in tight orbs.

When Michele Bachmann referred to them repeatedly as "Newt Romney" in one debate that appeared to stir up some karmic angst between them.

It's easier to figure out where I stand, just look for Mayor Bloomberg's position on an issue - I'm on the other side of it.

Jupiter transits square Chiron
#You may have a tendency to get carried away with your beliefs, faith, confidence, and sense of optimism during this period. You can unknowingly set yourself up for a rude awakening or disappointment if you depend too much on your principles and theories. Coming to terms with your inner world and self-development is fine, as long as you avoid pushing your ideas, objectives, and viewpoints onto others, as they are less likely to find your visions and quests meaningful at this time. You may feel set apart from the mainstream as far as your hopes, wishes, and expectations are concerned. Your faith may mislead you to believe that everything around you can be healed with positive thinking, yet much more effort is required to handle any personal hardship or crisis at this time.

http://cafeastrology.com/jupitertransits.html
Jupiter transits conjunct natal Mars Your energy levels and your competitive spirit expand with this transit. Be cautious of immoderation at this time, especially if your natal Mars is afflicted. Overestimating your abilities is possible. However, if some level of moderation is employed at this time, this is an excellent time to gather the courage to start something new or enterprising. Taking up a new physical activity is a possibility. At this time, you are drawn to traditionally male qualities and strength. You may attract people who symbolize these energies to you, and/or you may develop your confidence and courage at this time. You do things in big ways, and your libido is increased. Positive thinking can work very much in your favor. You expect to win, and this attitude can go a long way towards getting what you want.

an intense day

what can I say.. it's time Ron upset the applecart and won. This could do it. People(everyone) can see he's a perfectly viable candidate now after contending twice. So the argument that's he unelectable is false now and everyone can see that, can attract more a higher %

Ariondys quote:

I suppose this is like Huntsman's week for being on a "search for the stars" reality show. Lots of excitement.
Transit Saturn conjunct's his (tropical)Solar Return Ascendant(tropical). I'll assume he drops out after today.

http://abcnews.go.com/blogs/politics...t-of-gop-race/
score 1 for me.

Good call -- Huntsman was like a "shooting star" who got his fifteen minutes of fame and now this:

Just after the NH primary the RP campaign filed a defamation suit regarding that bogus attack youtube video (Manchurian Candidate) which may be traced back to Huntsman or some other candidate or media troll.

At the time, in the campaign chart Jupiter in applying conjunct to Mars and progressed Moon (Libra law) applying square to Pluto (in 7th house of legal matters) stand out as positive proactive indicators -- we're going to fight back and protect (Moon and Jupiter) the reputation and character of Dr. Paul and this movement.The Mars transit is also apparent as it makes a square aspect to AC/DC and nodes.

In your last post:

transit Jupiter conjunct Mars (orb=2 arcminutes)
Activated transit via the Transit Sun squaring the same Mars.
Awesomeness
Winning energy.

At his speech last night Dr. Paul sure did look confident and like a winner and spoke well -- I get the sense that there's some positive activity going on behind the scenes as Progressed Moon square Pluto plays out for the next couple months. Some bumps along the way but I am testing a version of this closing square as Capricorn with Aries duad character during the next 2.5 degrees of separation. A thread mentioned the Valley Forge theme -- regroup and reorganize the troops after a lost battle and devise with new strategies while muliplying the intensity of effort -- also the active military/veteran rally theme for President's Day is building.

Another quote:

This is still a valid interpretation -- the 100th monkey effect is working and we're making steady consistent gains as Dr. Paul stated last night. It takes time due to the free will effect and mental complexity of these higher primates called Republican voters.

Here's the evidence from a poster last night:

In 2008, 16,155 people cast their vote for Ron Paul in South Carolina.
In 2012, 77,653 people cast their vote for Ron Paul in South Carolina.

61K new supporters of liberty in 4 years. Sounds like a good night to me.

Moon: 27°37' Scorpio MC: 6°41' Aquarius

transit Sun conjunct MC estimated for jan 27 using this data.

hm, see the 22 Life path on gingrich, romney is a 9

Ron Paul gets his transit Sun to the MC in May, just a few days past one of the two eclipses this year. Which has interesting things written about the "14th South" Saros Series eclipse. tends to bring success from long periods of hard work, obsessive ideas finally being accepted. Push for the acceptance of ideas as this eclipse brings the long awaited breakthrough. The eclipse is in orb of Paul's Midheaven, and Mitt's Ascendant.

That series was making eclipse in 1976(9tau), 1994(20tau), 2012(0gem)

[MikefromSyracuse]

The incident today with Rand Paul being detained by the TSA is very consistent with the RP campaign chart and the family connection of the progressed Moon at exact square to Pluto. This morning transiting Sun and Moon in Aquarius and crossing into 9th house of the chart -- travel-related and political, legal rights issue.

Now the story has exploded according this thread.

Newt’s Worst Night

Sun: 26°03' Gemini AS: 19°19' Aquarius

odds are Gingrich has Antares culminating (~11:51pm +/-4) I'll suggest 11:49 to pull in the Ascendant=Moon/Mars
The astrological influences of the star Antares

According to Ptolemy it is of the nature of Mars and Jupiter. Alvidas gives Jupiter sextile Venus, but this is unlikely considering the decidedly martial and malefic nature of the star. It causes malevolence, destructiveness, liberality, broad-mindedness, evil presages and danger of fatality and makes its natives rash, ravenous, headstrong and destructive to themselves by their own obstinacy. [Robson*, 136.]

A Mars nature, in which the powers of Mercury and Jupiter and Saturn are also added. Antares makes people tough, belligerent and pugnacious. This is an important star for military personnel and is said to convey mental alertness, strategic ability and courage and to make dare-devils, especially if tied up with the MC, Ascendant, Sun or Jupiter. If associated with Mars, courage is said to become foolhardiness, leading to increased dangers. Natives with this particular configuration have to be prepared at all times for sudden incidents, unforeseen events and potential accidents. According to tradition, Antares is of violent character and is credited with being significant for a violent death, either in battle or by process of law. On the other hand, danger may come about by fire, weapons or machinery. Antares is also said to be unfortunate for the eyes, if in conjunction with the Ascendant, Moon or Sun and this has proven to be the case by later researchers. [Fixed Stars and Their Interpretation, Elsbeth Ebertin, 1928, p.70-71.]

What the heck is this junk
Romney: solar arc Neptune square Mercury(exact end of june)
Gingrich: progressed Mercury conjunct Neptune(exact end of august)
clearly neither is to be trusted, does it need emphasis like this
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Jan 31, Transit Venus conjunct Romney's Sun: you may be quite popular today.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The star Suolocin aka Alpha Delphinus coculminates with an MC with Romney's birthday at 9:51:44am +/- 4 minute.
this is the "leading man", debonair actor type to have MC co-culminate with Suolocin. So I tend to think the birthtime needs little adjustment.

Stars nearby in setting position: Antares, Zuben Eschamali support adding a couple minutes. Zuben Eschamali being the more self-interested star of the political pair: Zuben Eschamali & Zuben Elgenubi. He's a team player. This star is probably part of his chart. You do a search for Mitt Romney and Team Player and the searches easily pop up.

Therefore 9:54:48am +/- 4 minute.
Combining the 2 orbs gives 9:47:44 - 9:55:44 & 9:50:48 - 9:59:48
and thus 9:50:48am - 9:55:44am

[MikefromSyracuse]

Are we reaching a "tipping point" in the near future? This is talked about and presented as a demographic and marketing principle called Maloney's 16% Rule.

Here's the thread with diagram at post #8.

http://www.ronpaulforums.com/showthr...-Tipping-Point

The diagram shows that reaching the standard deviation boundary starts the snowball effect -- again not unlike the 100th monkey effect which, in his own way, Dr Paul has mentioned on numerous occasions -- the consistent steady increase of SOLID awareness and support will eventually reach critical mass (16%) and take off at a much higher rate. Also involved is a retooling and ramp up of the campaign organization and messaging.

Lets consider as main astrological indicators of this tipping point as transits of Uranus, Neptune and the Merc/Uran midpoint to the RP campaign chart.

The Merc/Uran midpoint is used because Mercury rules the Ascendent and Uranus rules the Midheaven of this chart, so a powerful planetary focus provided by their midpoint.

The Merc/Uran midpoint, in the sign of Pisces and the Midheaven 10th house, made a transit across Neptune during Jan 27-28 and is about to transit Chiron (influential folks who can bridge the social/financial/political gap) on Feb 1. Within the past few days there's been new 'quasi-endorsements' by celebrity-types (ie Snoop Dog) and Silicon Valley entrepeneurs and a new Gallup Poll showing RP vs Obama as a statistical tie.

Key transit dates for the Merc/Uran midpoint is Feb 18-22 (square aspect to Ascendent and Moon Nodes), Feb 25-26 (oppose aspect to Moon - grassroots support), March 1-5 (ingress into Aries and 11th house and transit conjunction to Uranus in 11th house), March 20-21 (makes a stop/station and recrosses Uranus in 11th house) -- more dates later if needed.

Key transit dates for Uranus is Feb 19-22 (ingress into 11th house) and March 2-3 (return conjunction to Chart Uranus in 11th house -- potential REVOLUTIONAL movement tipping point) -- long term the week leading up to June 24 is the first of seven major Uranus-Pluto squares experienced on the planetary/world level -- expect heightened crisis events in US, Europe and Arab nations or even a natural mega event ie earthquake.

Key transit dates for Neptune is Feb 3 (final ingress into Pisces), Feb 24 (return conjunction to Chart Neptune in 10th house -- the Neptune archetype of affecting mass consciousness via music/media/RP rockstar attraction is strong through March and April as it moves the next 2.5 degrees from Chart Neptune)

Edit: Two additions are:

Transit of Chiron return to conjunct Chart Chiron in Pisces 10th house Feb 23.

The grand Earth trine of Mars-Venus/Jupiter-Pluto gets started on March 6 (Super Tuesday) as Venus makes its ingress into Taurus to conjunct Chart Mars in 11th house. Its strength peaks by March 13 as especially favorable to RP's natal chart but is placed in the social houses of 7th and 11th and the grassroots 4th house of the RP campaign chart which enhances their function.

So dates to watch as signs of tipping points:

Feb 1 (also 55th wedding anniversary of Ron and Carol)
Feb 3
Feb 18-22 (Veterans for RP march on Whitehouse in Washington DC rally)
Feb 23 (financial/social support from influential celebrity/political types -- natural followup to rally event)
Feb 24-26 (Neptune return and Merc/Uran opposition aspect to Moon)
March 1-5
March 2-3 (major Uranus return - potential tipping point before Super Tuesday)
March 6-13
March 20-21
