that she was supposed to give to an anti-Iran rally in New York on Monday, the 22nd (my birthday by the way). Hilary Clinton, who was also scheduled to speak there cancelled, forcing the organizers to drop Palin in the laughingly shallow interests of not being partisan. That was part of the transcript from her prepared speech. If anything, it confirms Devvy Kidd's assertion that Palin is a war monger and my rectification of her chart with Aries rising and Venus and Jupiter in Aries is in sync with that assesment. We know ourselves through the first house, it's how we self-actualize in the world. For Palin as I have noted before, it's action, will, conflict and beauty. Aries, The God Of War guides her development and based on the speech, she would undoubtedly deliver, she is ready for action. At no point was there any mention of peace. At least in Obama's version, "peace" was mentioned once. We've seen Aries in action with her speech, what about Venus?
Now that she didn't give her speech, she had a little free time on her hands, so she mosied on over to The UN, where she met with, "Asif Ali Zardari" the new President of Pakistan and Benizir Bhutto's widowed husband (who knows a thing or two about beauty), who had this to
say about Palin in her presence; "You're Gorgeous! Now I know why America is crazy about you!" I'm sure that this further endeared Sarah even more to the loyal disciples of Gloria Steiniem. Now that's Venus on the ascendant in full effect being recognized by her beauty.
With Palin's stellium in Aquarius, that's five fixed signs, it's clear now that she can be an intractable ideolog and with her Aries ascendant, she can be dangerously aggressive. Add those two elements together and she might have more testosterone than the last four vice-presidents combined. Combiner hers and John McCain's hawkish perspectives and there is a reason for people to be concerned.
Now back to Obama.
His
speech came from a recent appearance before AIPAC, the powerful Israeli lobby. I extracted the part where he spoke directly to the presence of Iran, but his speech was much longer than Palin's and his use of the word "peace" was much more pronounced, even though he ultimately arrives at the same destination that she does. Through my own rectification of Obama's chart with Scorpio rising and Neptune in Scorpio on the ascendant, it would make a great deal of sense for Obama to almost appear cognitively dissonant. His speech was long, recounting salient facts and points pertaining to the history and formation of Israel and how important it is for Israel to survive. But his use of the word peace (fifteen times in the speech), conspicuously absent in Palin's screed, is quite noticeable.
My feeling is that based on Obama's ascendant, he truly believes in peace as a concept at some level, and yet with the fluidic nature of Neptune dominating his personality, he will say or do almost anything to appease a given group or community in order to placate theirs and his own interests. Is this not the model of modern American politics? Are not all polls guilty of this? To some extent, that would be true, with the exception that Obama made his biggest impression early on when he had a strong, anti-war stance, to a people that are tired of war. His drastic and almost sudden about face, invoking the language of threat and retalliation belies an almost schizophrenic need to be accepted and endorsed, despite the deep-seated-ideals that supposedly comprise his core.
So the question becomes this. Do you trust the person who is more authentic given their clearly definable traits, thoughts and deeds, despite the fact that they could lead to us armageddon? Or the other person who might harbor quite positive clandestine principles and yet betrays them in order to appease and obey?
America, the choice is yours.
Or is it?
