Astro-Haiti

Rigaud Benoit (Haiti) – Erzulie, the Haitian Goddess of Love

God, how hellish is Haiti?  Obviously we are all sad about it and doing what we can to help, be it personally, via our government or both but if you are interested at all in the astrology of it, Eric Francis has a really good thing on it.

I actually hate looking at the astrology of when-shit-happens as it’s then too easy to become fearful & basically one would end up gibbering under the bed with some garlic & rose quartz everytime Saturn crept to within a nano-metre of Pluto or whatever. So I found Christopher Hitchens Slate article useful and fascinating. Hitchens is SUCH a total Aries bigmouth but a fantastic intellect: Sun-Mercury-Venus-Mars all tight together in Aries.

My astro thoughts on Haiti, for what it’s worth are v.simple. Given that it’s essentially a Saturn-Pluto square event & September 11 was a Saturn-Pluto event (then they were in opposition – now Saturn is squaring Pluto – it’s all part of a huge cycle that began with the Saturn-Pluto conjunction when Israel was created as a nation in the middle East) then you would have to think that beyond the hideous plight of the Haitian people & all the horror, is a further geopolitical crisis, lest the place sink into violent, evil anarchy & thus become home to some depravity which could expand outward seriously fuq with civilisation. eg; terrorist state etc.

SEE! This is why i don’t do astro-politics, even though people such as Eric Francis (above) do it so well and I admire them. Now I am freaking out. And I have so much invested in believing this Saturn-Pluto situation will be ultimately GOOD. And i truly do believe that. eg; that somehow the banking system and whatever it’s called when a third of the world are really fat and a third are starving will be fixed. Civilisation, liberty & equity for all.

Are Leos Really More Likely To Be Atheists???

Personally, I am a Pantheist but i’ve noted that loads of Leos are flamboyant atheists & i sometimes wonder (okay, usually wonder) if it’s because they think THEY are the deity. Seriously, the only celebrity Leo i’ve who does not seem to be an atheist is Madonna.  What do you think? Are Leos more likely to be atheists and if so, why?

O.m.g i HAD to obviously mention the two most ostentatiously atheist authors of recent times & so I looked up their birth-dates: Richard Dawkins and Christopher Hitchens are BOTH Arieans…

I love Hitchens writing – LOVE it even though he’s always dishing out shit at witchy-poo types but I remember reading just one lead par to a Richard Dawkins piece and flipping out. He said that our bodies/brains operated like a telephone exchange, that that is essentially all we are. I (a) did  not agree and (b) thought that if we are set up anything like the telephone companies I deal with, we’re all screwed.

Thoughts?
