My apologies, I've just started this page, there will be more to come in a few weeks. It is a repeat of the comments at the bottom of the 2002-2003 page to start off with.

I've just been looking at George Bush's chart in more detail for the next few months. It seems he has another difficult period coming up in November, 2003. In January, Pluto is on his South Node. At the same time, Pluto is opposing the American-chart Mars at 21Gem22. Not pleasant looking stuff at all. Saturn in Cancer will be hitting his and the American suns in June 2004. Interestingly, the day Uday and Qusay Hussein were killed, Neptune was exactly opposite Bush's progressed Pluto at 12Leo11. It opposes it again on the 15th January, 2004, so a possible prediction here is that Saddam Hussein will be captured or killed around that date.

For some 'proof of Astrology', have a look at Bush's and America's progressions for September 11, 2001. These were undoubtedly the biggest progressions of his life. Here are some of the ones within a degree:-

Mars at 13Lib22 square Bush's Sun at 13Can47 and America's 13Can18. (Sag Ascendant Chart)

Bush's SA (Solar Arc) Sun at 9 Virgo conjunct Mars at 9Vir18.
Bush's SA Mercury at 5Lib05 conjunct Neptune at 5Lib56.
Jupiter at 13Sag18 inconjunct his Sun at 13Can47 and America's 13Can18.
Bush's SA Saturn at 21Vir30 square his North Node at 20Gem35.
Bush's SA Pluto at 5Lib45 conjunct his Neptune at 5Lib56.

Horary: As you know, the Pluto/Saturn opposition was about 2 degrees at the time.

Transits that day:
Uranus at 21Aqu50 opposed Bush's Venus at 21Leo30.
Uranus at 21Aqu50 opposed Bush's progressed Mercury at 21Leo40.
Mercury at 14Lib square Bush's Sun at 13Can47 and the American Sun at 13Can18.
Neptune at 6Aqu21 opposed Bush's Ascendant at 7Leo06.
The Sun at 18Vir40 Square Bush's Uranus at 19Gem09.
Neptune at 6Aqu21 conjunct the American South Node at 13Can18.


If scientists and statisticians cannot still don't get it, then I truly feel sorry for them. Bush's birth details are in the program, if you'd like to have a look. We Astrologers must also wake up. This one was frighteningly easy to see. Not the events, but the period. We are definitely not out of the woods yet. Bush has another very difficult period from the end of October 2003 to February 2004. Saturn conjuncts his and the American Suns in June. Pluto opposes America's Mars in Mid-January, 2004. Pluto is a massively powerful planet, as you may well know. I don't have to tell you what it rules.

HOW CAN ASTROLOGY HELP SCIENCE?

I know of many examples, but let me just give you one I spotted this morning.

Millions of astrologers around the world know that Saturn brings limitations and Jupiter brings success. Uranus brings technological advancements. (trines & sextiles are good, squares & oppositions are bad, conjunctions vary with planets). Just have a look at some of the following dates:-

4th Oct 1957: Sun and Jupiter conjunct Uranus.
Sputnik I launched successfully.

3rd Nov 1957: Sun square Uranus
Sputnik II launched successfully but the dog, Laika, died after a week in orbit.

12th Apr 1961: Sun and Venus trine Uranus
First human in space, Yuri Gargarin, launches successfully.

20 Feb 1962: Sun having just opposed Uranus
Successful but there was an unexpected electronic malfunction with the heat shield warning system.

15 May 1963: The exception: Sun square Saturn
Several things went wrong with the Project Gemini trip.
Gordon Cooper's space-suit persistently overheated.
The water supply system failed.
He felt dehydrated and dizzy.
The automatic steering refused to work and had to be operated manually.
He felt dehydrated and dizzy.

22 Jul 1969: Jupiter conjunct Uranus: First humans on the Moon
Mission successful, a giant leap for mankind.

So, the lesson seems to be to attempt rocket launches when Uranus is favorably aspected to give the expedition the maximum chance of success.

UPDATE: August 31, 2003.
Last week, Jupiter opposed Uranus. Brazil chose August 22 (the timing is quite uncanny) to launch its third attempt at becoming a "space nation". As you may remember, Mars was conjoining Uranus during that week, making this period even more volatile. Definitely not a good time to be pushing the frontiers of science. The rocket exploded on Friday at a jungle base of Alcantara, in the northeastern state of Maranhao, after an engine ignited by mistake. 21 people were killed.

Scientists, we need you and you need us. Please get off your butts and take a closer look at Uranus. I know you think you have defined "nearly everything", but you are not even close.

ASTROLOGY AND THE CURE FOR AIDS

Regarding the stock markets, I underestimated the effect the trine criss-crossing between Saturn and Uranus in 2003 would have on the world stock markets. These planets are showing themselves to be major players when trying to predict future trends. Louise McWhirter's theory about the supercycle rising as the North Node moves towards Leo and falling when it approaches Aquarius is still holding true. Note how the Node was in Leo at the turn of the century, at the peak of the boom. At the end of the decade it will be in Aquarius, which should be the trough.

2004 looks quite well aspected for a mini bull period. If you are looking to purchase equities this year, here is a list of the dates of the good aspects between the Sun and Jupiter, which often indicate periods when most of the world stock markets rise.

An excellent buying opportunity appears to be coming up at the end of June, 2004. A classic Sun-Jupiter aspect coincides with transitting Jupiter coming up to sextile the American sun (and therefore the dollar) at the end of June and early July. Saturn has now moved off its conjunction. This is triple bonus and a good opportunity to purchase global or local equities as well as the dollar, or simply to test this theory.

Take note of the dollar price, the S&P, Dow, Nasdaq as well as local stock market indexes on Friday 25th June, 2004. Observe how they rise over the following 10 days. After 10 days to 14 days, during the week of Monday the 5th of July, you might consider selling and locking in profits, but July and August also look well aspected for the dollar and world stock markets in general.
