Sun, 14 degrees Sagittarius, Mars, 14 degrees Sagittarius, the energy for truth and revelation is at hand and the worth of The Constitution itself is ready to be judged, literally and figuratively. The Supreme Court is addressing and summarizing three separate cases against Barack Obama today as they relate to the birth and eligibility issue, but the three different lawyers bringing their cases before the court, Phillip Berg, Orly Taitz and Leo Donofrio are dealing with the legitimacy of Obama's presidency and electoral status from different angles. Berg has been intensely pursuing the birth certificate angle, and I doubt that he will be met with any type of favored response from SCOTUS, but Donfrio's case is an entirely different matter altogether and will actually hold SCOTUS accountable for the interpretation of The Constitution.
The Constitution states that only natural born citizens are eligible for the presidency of The USA. Since Barack Obama was fathered by a Kenyan, and at the time of his birth, Kenya was under British rule, so at the time of his birth, Barack Obama was a British citizen and here is where it gets complicated, because the framers, when they drew up the constitution were grandfathered into the natural born status, because many of them were British born and yet, moving forward they didn't want any British influence infiltrating the executive branch, so the natural born status was written into the constitution. Donofrio claims that since Obama was not grandfathered along with the framers, and since his Kenyan citizenship expired in August of 1982, his citizenship reverts to it's British status.
The intense Sagittarian energy is primed for dealing with legal nuance, minutiae and detail and whether or not you support or believe in Barack Obama and his claims, this is a very salient point that Donfrio is hitting on and making the court recognize it's viability in New Jersey, where Donfrio has filed.
The early reports from the beltway were that Scalia and company were not well pleased to have to actually sort this out. However, if they rule against Donfrio, it becomes a very slippery slope with the waning power of The Constitution and yet another frayed interpretation. My sense is, is that the court will try to cycle, recycle, delay, redirect back to the states and keep Donfrio's claims in limbo, well past 2/3/08 when Barack Obama is set to take the oath of president.
I've been having a lively and evolving dialog with
Linda Hill, one of the most well respected and recognized current interpreters and of The Sabian Symbols and she has affirmed for me, the power inherent in the symbols. Not coincidentally, the symbol for Sagittarius, 14 degrees is "The Great Pyramid and The Sphinx," monuments of mystery, ancient orders, and esoteric symbolism appropriated by the framers. The energy at 14 degrees Sag is the key to unlocking these mysteries, illuminating the vagaries of shadow and light. And since the ascendant of
The US is at 12 degrees Sag, this issue, in conjunction with Sun/Mars in Sag just over the ascendant has everything to do with identity, what it is to be an American and how that impacts who can lead and who cannot
Whether or not Donofrio, Berg or Taitz are successful, we'll know more about the moral character of our legal system and whether SCOTUS will have the constitution to rule in a timely and honorable fashion, or if they'll simply go along with the corporacratic trending we're seeing across most segments of society, as an ongoing subtext of Pluto in Capricorn.
