GOVERNOR MARK SANFORD

Posted on Jul 2nd, 2009 by Melanie : X-trology Melanie
A friend asked me today what was going on with Governor Mark Sanford.

Easy. He has a Mars progressed square to Uranus. This causes the person who has it to become very argumentative as his energy becomes more and more restless which leads to impulsive behavior.

I don't do medical astrology and especially not psychological medical astrology so I don't know if he has mental problems. But  this aspect alone could account for his strange behavior at this time. Again, if you are in a negative cycle, do as little as possible so you don't dig a deep hole you have to crawl out of later.

Also with his natal Venus in Gemini, along with his Sun and Mercury, cheating or lying might just be a part of who he is. Gemini is the sign that is most associated with lying. There are also many good characteristics such as mental agility, the ability to memorize easily, intelligence, ease in communication, etc. But on the negative side, it is lying, deceit, fraud.

Put that together with a negative progressed cycle and what you see happening isn't that surprising. His astrological chart is just overwhelmed with negative aspects. 

I always feel badly for people going through a trying time like this when clearly they are unaware of what is causing it. It happened to me and resulted in my ability to read progressions because nothing else in astrology could account for the extreme negativity I was experiencing. 

Even now I have two progressed squares (bad) to my Moon (emotions) so each morning I wake up and realize I have to pull myself together. Not knowing this would make it so much worse. Having this knowledge allows me to do as many things as possible to avoid emotional upsets. It doesn't last forever and it happens to everyone. So you do what you can to get yourself through it. Most of the time, I'm fine.  Every now and then, I'm unhappy. Getting to blog on Gaia and share my knowledge of astrology -- always makes me happy. Try to have the best day you can with whatever stuff you're experiencing.

And don't forget I'm tweeting as "Xtrology" where you can find Moon information.

SARAH PALIN UPDATE

Posted on Jul 3rd, 2009 by Melanie : X-trology Melanie
If Ms. Palin didn't like the progressed Venus square her Sun, she will definitely not like, he new progressed Mars square. There will be continuing problems with the people she loves in additional to the Mars ripping-the-rug-out-from-under-you effect.

I predicted she would not be governor in the next term, but I didn't see this coming. To reiterate, she will not hold any public office until after 2013. 

Can she write a book or do the lecture circuit? Yes, she can try, but neither should be incredibly successful under these aspects.  And she is not going to get away from criticism. It will follow her everywhere.

Her progressed Sun is within six months of squaring her natal nodes which is very bad and very karmic.  And with today's announcement, her progressed Moon is currently squaring them -- which would lead me to believe that this is not a comfortable position she has found herself in.  The Moon is your emotional well being.

When the whole world seems to be your enemy, retreat and regroup. I don't think this is the course she will take -- not astrologically, just based on her past behavior.
