Sidereal Signs - 13 sign astrology for All
SIDEREAL LEO AUG. 16 - SEPT 15 Sidereal Signs Sidereal Signs is a monthly publication by siderealsigns.com 58 A Sutton Street, Brooklyn, NY 11222 A free Brooklyn newsletter about astrology thinkquest.org FIRST CLASS MAIL Hiroko Sakai Fine Art LEO: KING OF THE JUNGLE WHAT IS A KING WITHOUT A KINGDOM? Those “Virgos” born between Aug. 23– Sept. 16. are really LEOS! From Sept. 17 to 22, Virgo stays Virgo. The confusion arises because typical astrologers are wrong by 24 degrees. This is a huge discrepancy: Virgo and Leo couldn’t be more different. For one, Leos behave like animals and Virgos are all-too-human. Sidereal astrology will give us the real picture, since it’s based on a much more accurate mathematical model. Using this correct (and easily verifiable) map of the Zodiac we’ll see a major change in the way eight out of ten people identify themselves, since they will change signs to the previous sign. Up until now, we’ve all been hoodwinked by a bunch of quacks—the traditional astrologers who have been mainly spreading confusion. Most Leos, rather than accept the wrong archetype, would rather discount astrology all together. Imagine the King of the Beasts, mistaken for the quiet, crafty Virgo! True Leo can only roar in protest. This is the sign of the best and the worst of the animal kingdom. Leos understand animals and animals understand Leo. From the noble savage to the wounded animal, it’s all part of the Leo heritage. Leo is the idealization of the Superego, the creator, defender and destroyer of life. Inside Leos harbor the instincts, elegance and ferocity of the predator. There’s no human emotions to clog up the arteries. Leos demand—and take— what they need for survival, yet they can also put their lives on the line to defend the pride. Leo loyalty is never questioned, it is assumed. The real Leo strength comes from the complex society of lions—the most socialized and therefore the most successful predator community. However, it’s primarily the FEMALE that gives the group its strength and cohesion. It’s the raising of cubs that make survival and propagation possible. Male and female roles must combine to promote the page 2 interests of the pride, although male Leos are often brainless and impetuous. In the wild, male lions often kill or exile their possible competition, and that can even include their own male cubs. That’s the tip-off to Leo’s much deeper nature that includes another classic archetype, the huntress. Leos, male or female, are ALWAYS on the hunt. Whatever the prey happens to be, the Leo brain, such as it is, is hardwired to find and kill food. For the Leo, food can cover almost anything, from sex to money, the hunt is the game and its reward; and Leos take it very seriously. Anyone who interferes with a Leo while they hunt is in danger. This shows the absurdity of the bastardized astrology system that depicts them as Virgos, who are fixers, builders and critics, and, if anything, might well be the prey of the actual Leo in the Zodiacal jungle. Leo doesn’t adapt and assimilate like a human; they are a fixed, bestial sign; they only learn to do what they do better, rather than change on a daily basis like the chameleon Virgo. The Leo heart beats loudly; they are simple and direct, there is no hiding what they feel. The modest, mutable Virgo has a much different view of the universe, and never the twain shall meet. ACCURATE ASTROLOGY Astrology won’t work for you until you know your real sign MOST PEOPLE ARE NOT THE SIGN THEY THINK THEY ARE The entire body of Western astrology is calculated using a flawed navigational chart—the Tropical system. Those calculations are off by 24 degrees—almost an entire sign. To correct this error, this publication uses a more accurate system, the SIDEREAL ephemeris, also known by the name of its founders, the Fagan-Bradley method. This system correctly assigns the right astrological sign to the actual movement of the Sun as it passes through the Zodiac. THE TROPICAL TRIBULATION The last time Tropical astrology was correct was around 221 A.C.E., when Ptolemy—the Roman mathematician who designed modern astrology— decided to ignore the precession of the equinoxes, a small but significant interruption in the earth’s forward rotation. From that point on, all Western astrological calculations have gained an extra, unwarranted, degree every 72 years. Today, EVERY astrological chart using the Tropical ephemeris has this flaw, allowing an error of +24 degrees in all its stated positions of the angles and planets. SIDEREAL ASTROLOGY IS ASTRONOMICALLY CORRECT Sidereal astrology remedies Ptolemy’s oversight. Sidereal astrology reckons celestial longitude from the positions of the fixed stars rather than the vernal equinox. The stars are used as reference points since the vast distances make their positions virtually unchanging over the eons. Sidereal astrology factors the precession of the equinoxes, an annual event in the Earth’s rotation, and is accurate both astronomically AND astrologically. THE RIGHT MATH MAKES AN ANCIENT SCIENCE WORK AGAIN Without the correct numbers, astrology is bunk. But using Sidereal locations, it can be a credible sociological tool and a valuable personal helpmate for the modern age. This is what the creators of astrology had in mind: a way for us to learn about our strengths, shortcomings, affinities by connecting us with the Universe, making us look out to the constellations for our innate connections as part of the vast fabric of time and space. We use archetypical heros and villains to relate ineffable information into our lives. Astrology can help us with this task. Without an accurate map of the Universe, we lose the possibility of conscious connection with it. . MAKE YOUR OWN SIDEREAL BIRTH CHART See for yourself.

In a letter to his third wife he wrote: “I am drinking lots of rum and popping pinks and grays.” Hubbard’s drug supply “was the largest drug chest I had ever seen.” recalled church member John Macmaster. Several other witnesses also reported that Hubbard had become totally debilitated from drugs at this juncture. Hubbard strikes back at his critics As far back as the early 60s, Hubbard devised a retaliatory strategy against people or groups that he felt wanted to “suppress or damage Scientology or a Scientologist” He declared them “Fair Game”, and they could be “deprived of property or injured by any means by any Scientologist without any discipline of the Scientologist. May be tricked, sued, lied to or destroyed.” Later, in 1968, Hubbard ceased any mention of Fair Game (“It causes bad public relations.”) But he did not cancel its use against his critics or former Scientologists. As both he and Scientology sank into a legal morass, Jupiter was going through his 7th house again, emphasizing legal issues in relationships with significant others. Meanwhile, both Uranus and Pluto burned holes in his 9th house—inflaming the legal nightmare. Pluto and Uranus aren’t always so cruel, but when one is so foolish as to blow a bubble made of hot air, they relish bursting it. During the same time span, Neptune also started activating Hubbard’s chart by trining his natal Sun-Neptune trine, which only escalated his need for selfmedicating and escapism. In 1976, Hubbard moved to California to avoid a Florida grand jury; Hubbard was beginning to gain a reputation as a psychopath, and the Church, a predatory cult; culminating in “Operation Freakout”—a church campaign of harassment and slander against Paulette Cooper, British author of “The Scandal of Scientology.” The Church was eventually forced to settle out-of-court after the ruling went against it. page 14 In 1977 Uranus began its transit over Hubbard’s natal South Node-Jupiter conjunction, Pluto had just crossed his Midheaven and Jupiter transited back to his 7th house yet again. From birth, Jupiter had always played a big part in Hubbard’s life, as the ruler of philosophy, religion, beliefs, and legal matters, and also because it activated his chart by transit at key points in his life. With Jupiter forcing a retreat, and Pluto casting his career into gloom and doom, Hubbard hit bottom: the FBI came knocking at his door. This doesn’t mean everyone going through a major Pluto transit will have to deal with the FBI— Hubbard’s case combined his illegal and irresponsible activities WITH this major transit to produce such a calamity. The FBI was looking for information about “Operation Snow White,” Hubbard’s attempt to illegally obtain information from government offices. Hubbard’s wife Mary Sue and many other senior Scientology officials were convicted of conspiracy in 1979. The IRS also found that Hubbard took millions of dollars of church funds and transferred them to overseas accounts. By 1979, as Hubbard’s legal problems were reaching their peak, Jupiter moved to the 9th house to come to his rescue. When transiting Neptune crossed his Ascendant in 1980, Hubbard vanished into thin air. After six more years in seclusion, Hubbard died in secrecy. The Church declared that Hubbard had deliberately discarded his body to conduct his research in spirit form, and was now living “on a planet a galaxy away.” Hubbard told his followers that after his death he would reincarnate again “not as a religious leader, but as a political one.” All sociopaths share a few traits: they are irresistibly charming, have very shallow emotions, possess not a drop of guilt or remorse and they worship money and power. Hubbard is more dangerous, even after death, because he started a religion. I wouldn’t want to have his karma. Would you?

Speculating in generalities is hard work, but someone has to do it Our cover shows Napoleon in 1804, dressed better then a Hollywood pimp, after he crowned himself emperor, extinguishing the dying French Republic. He went on to embark on a series of victorious imperialist wars, until 1812 when his armies were crushed in Russia and Napoleon was forced to retreat. Exiled, he made a futile attempt at a comeback which ended at the Battle of Waterloo in 1815, where, in spite of brilliant maneuvering, Napoleon’s forces were destroyed when the British and German armies surrounded them. This time exile for Napoleon was permanent, and he died on the Island of Saint Helena in 1821. Thus is always the fate of tyrants. sidereal starting dates These dates vary slightly according to year, consult your natal chart for exact placement Aries April 15 Taurus May 16 Gemini June 16 Cancer July 16 Leo Aug. 16 Virgo Sept. 16 Libra Oct. 16 Scorpio Nov. 16 Sagittarius Dec. 16 Capricorn Jan 16 Aquarius Feb. 14 Pisces Mar. 15 " Clip this handy reference guide page 3 TAKE The Leo Way Planetary proclamation The Sun gives Leo birthright to rule. The Sun is what enthrones Leo; the Sun makes a Leo feel good, alive. The lack of Sunshine will have the opposite effect. Leos trapped in the dark, or in rainy weather start to deflate and decay until the Sun can come out. Pity the Leo in solitary confinement, or who lives in a geographical location where a sixmonth night is a yearly occurrence. The result of sun-depravation for all humans is unrelenting depression; but Leos feel it far worse. all HEART, no brain The Leo ego is the beating heart. Leos speak from the heart—it aggrandizes them. Behind the display, though, is a puzzlement. Leos cultivate a heart-felt selfishness: what’s best for them is also best for everybody! They assume the rest of the world would be satisfied with the basic elemental aspects of life, as they are. The complexity and purpose of human sacrifice, guilt, anxiety or perspicacity escapes them. The heart allows Leos to live only in the moment; the human memory is suppressed because it harms their egos, and reduces the single-mindedness that they need for the hunt. fight, flight There’s only two options for a Leo: win or lose; life or death. Leos are intense because they play for keeps. Male Leos live short fast lives unless they’re careful. They expire along with their usefulness. Leo buffoon celebrity Gene Simmons is an example of the has-been. Octogenarian actor Sean Connery is the O.G. Leo. Females fare better through cooperation and community, and, as a result, can delay the inevitable for as long as possible. Forever young and sexually active women Jacqueline Bisset or Kim Cattrall are examples of well-preserved Sidereal Leos living their erotic mantras well into “old” age. page 4 Living with a Leo The situation isn’t dualism; Leos are in one mode or the other as in a unity of opposites; their Tao is the dichotomy of predator and prey. You can’t be both; but only in turn. Leos are the living advertisement of their own mind-set. You can’t disassociate a fixed-sign Leo from what he feels because he IS what he feels. There is no artifice; no evolution; the Leo merely refines the objectification of what he or she is. Michael Jackson and Charlie Parker were both Sidereal Leos who never separated from their music or from the images of themselves it created. Both maintained the essence of themselves until their own demons tracked them down and ate them like hyenas do lions in the wild. Putrefaction occurs in a Leo when what they represent becomes moot. Leo Black Panther and self-proclaimed rapist Eldridge Cleaver faded fast when his crackpot ideas were discarded; Leo Vietnam war criminal and disgraced president Lyndon Johnson folded like a house of cards when his imperialist dream collapsed. Leos live and die by their creed; however archaic and unwieldy. They go down with the ship. sex and anger The two domains of Leo are fucking and fighting. Sex is domination, the release of anger; Anger is the spool from which sexual desire is uncoiled. Sex with a Leo can involve biting and scratching; Leos can have sex with their enemies, or survive off masturbation for years, since “love” in the human sense doesn’t enter into it, at all. Leo NBA star and egomaniac Wilt Chamberlain claims to have fucked thousands of women, none of whom he gave a damn about. For stunted Leos like this, mere mating is the overweening obligation and quantity is the only yardstick. Leos are at their most fierce during sex and when outraged; the two extremes surrounding a life otherwise dominated by sloth and submission.

Like the life of a predator, it can be brutal or beautiful, depending on how you look at it. Leo is an animal. Don’t look for human characteristics in Leo, they aren’t there. To think Leos are human is misplaced anthropomorphism. Others may transcend their animalness: Aries, the ram, through action; Taurus the bull, through possessions; Sagittarius the centaur through idealism; but Leo does not deviate. Leo is nature in the raw. Leo isn’t just an animal, Leo is the king of the jungle—putting itself above all others, and taking the best for itself. For each of its narrow feeding roles, the Leo excels. First we have the image of the huntress, with bow, sitting on the throne with her pet lion alongside her. Then Leo eats, rapaciously and ravenously; food is the prey. Then Leo wants sex, prowling that hunting ground for pliant flesh. Then Leo sleeps, reverently supplying its tremendous ego with the energy it needs to resuscitate. Men and women Leos differ in important ways; The male Leo dominates; displays his libido, assumes rulership of the pride, defends the pride. The female runs the pride, kills the food, protects the cubs, and is the mainstay of the Leo society. Male Leos are expendable and interchangeable, they come and go according to their ascending or waning power. Females remain, and collectively build for the future. Females keep the faith. WHAM BAM I’M THE MAN As far as the sex goes, anyone who has seen or heard cats having sex knows there doesn’t seem to be much pleasure involved; it’s mostly dominance in page 12 action, an ego trip for the male and a necessary (but ecstatic) evil for the female. Sex in Leo land is more show than go; it’s quick and then you’re stuck together like two mismatched puzzle pieces. It’s unevolved. Take the infamous pairing of two star-crossed lovers, Leo Bill Clinton and Cancer Monica Lewinsky. He was destroyed politically because of his not, not-having-sex with her; but the sex actually defined and characterized Lewinsky because of her role in it. The active and passive roles; the division of labor tween the male and female for Leo men is obvious, and totally unfair. Like every code of the jungle, there is no balance, only the strongest survive and only reckless acts of random violence prevail. In order to avoid violence, one must threaten it, have the greatest game. Everything a Leo does is with an audience in mind, they pose, show teeth, roar, like a jungle version of vogueing. Bluffing to forestall a confrontation. Yet Leos also have the BEST qualities of animals; they are loyal and affectionate; the emotions, however primitive, are real; Leos don’t prevaricate, they don’t play games, what you see is what you get. When you befriend a Leo, you get a lifelong comrade—unless he sees you as prey. The Leo makes you proud to be you; Leo pride is infectious and invigorating. Leo can be like the Sun rising in the midday, a joyful, exuberant roar of the audacity of life, the sheer awe and majesty of the self in action. THE KING IS DEAD, LONG LIVE THE KING A word of caution: in the jungle, there are no old lions; hyenas catch up with them and kill them in turn; thus is the life of the predator. Leos burn fast and die young, unless they wise up and stop lording over others, the only way of avoiding an unpleasant demise. Only when a male Leo loses his arrogance can he be said to really integrate and survive the ego-trip. The female, of course, lives on through her cubbies. She represents the survival of the Pride. The normal state of Leo is torpid transference, and they can only be engaged when angry or horny. Sidereal Leo and bad-boy actor and activist Sean Penn is an example of the hot-headed, choleric Leo personality type; out-of-control is normal. Fats and death For Leos to live a long life, they need to control the one thing they crave the most: fat. Fat is what gives them the high-octane energy to burn, but also clogs the heart and veins. The Leo heart must be fat-free to work properly. Any problem with the heart will drain the life out of a Leo, fast. Fats track Leos like a Father Time ready to cut them out of the pride; there’s a limit to the largess of life for the predator. The laws of the jungle are the same for everybody. Unless Leos can learn to save their hearts, from fat—and from hard-heartedness—they will descend from the hunter to the hunted as a matter of course, and meet with a similarly grisly and untimely end. SEX and fat Leos should beware of the effect of oil and saturated fats in the diet. While fresh oils like cold-pressed olive oil or natural coconut oil are less harmful, ALL fats turn to acid in the Leo heart and will slow it down and kill it as surely as a bullet will. The advantages to living longer means only one thing to Leo: having sex more often and for a longer part of the lifespan. The demise of the Leo sex drive is like the proverbial Eskimo without teeth; without the libido, life itself becomes redundant. A Leo without sexual desire can only hope for a swift and painless death. Like a pet cat with too much food available, the Leo will become obese, lethargic and self-indulgent when the fat levels get too high. The adamant flesh-loving Leo will have to give up meat to live longer. Meat eaters die of fat, whether by heart disease or cancer. Meats are the traditional sources of protein, minerals, and B vitamins, but the fats and proteins in meat actually sabotage the body’s own cell-building systems as well. Eating animals and their byproducts for short-term energy gain is a temptation, but leaves behind serious and degenerating problems. Unless a person is a reverent and consistent exerciser who can regularly reach the inner chemical temperature required to burn fat, whatever fat you eat stays with you forever, clogging veins, spleen and colon until they burst. Fats fill your veins with a pasty splurg, that will eventually smother the overtaxed blood pump—the heart. Heart problems can be prevented and treated with a non-meat, macrobiotic diet. At the heart is the GRAIN Leo heart rules the Leo mind. It pays to consider the Biblical prophesy of the lion laying down with the lamb: Leos can and will be successful vegetarians if they follow a modified Macrobiotic diet. Technically, this means eating balanced meals that consist of two parts whole grains and one part seasonal vegetables, with fermented foods and nonpoisonous favor enhancing sauces. Theoretically, the Macro Way is a state of grace achieved when you simply eat to live, and not the other way around. When it comes to eating, Leos need try to adopt a long term outlook: you’ll be eating every day of the rest of your life, so why eat to shorten your life? Resist the thrall of our food-asprofit-making-commodity culture that beckons us toward nutritional suicide and genetic degradation. Leos! Lead yourself and your pride out of the miasma of nutrition-based illness and its ensuing despair and depression. THE TRUE GREENS If you must eat meat or otherwise put indigestible fat and gristle in your gut, you must also compensate in equal measure by eating roughage. One must endeavor to eat sauteed or steamed greens every day. FYI: there are only three “true” greens: collards, kale and broccoli. Don’t even fool yourself into thinking lettuce, spinach or chard can replace the nutritional value of a True Green. It’s the leathery toughness of the leaf that gives it the biological banquet of vitamins and minerals that you cannot find elsewhere. Vegetarianism requires a complete mental turnaround for Leo. How to “replace” continued on next page page 5 “There’s just something about dance. It’s like a primal thing in all of us.”—Patrick Swayze, Aug. 18, 1952 “I have always hated that damn James Bond. I’d like to kill him.”—Sean Connery, Aug. 25, 1930 Leos will also be pleased to know that vitamin E makes for beautiful, healthy hair—along with vitamin C and the B-vitamins. It’s worth mentioning that the HAIR TEST, an inexpensive and noninvasive alternative to the blood test, is also the best way to check for anemia or any vitamin or mineral deficiency. A hair test can tell the body’s overall condition more accurately than blood—hair is the final product—a printout our body’s chemistry. The blood test is a only snapshot of a circulating “highway” of information—all about transition— while the hair represents the entirety of our chemical wellness. Most doctors don’t know or feign ignorance of the hair test because it adds nothing to their profit margins. In the case of Leo, deficiencies revealed by a hair test are usually zinc, calcium, magnesium, and shortages of vitamins A, D and the B-complex. “Loneliness is the most terrible poverty.” —Mother Teresa, Aug. 26, 1910 “The cure for boredom is curiosity. There is no cure for curiosity.”—Dorothy Parker, Aug. 22, 1893 “I got started dancing because I knew it was one way to meet girls.”—Gene Kelly, TRIPLE LEO, Aug. 23, 1912 These young guys are playing checkers. I’m out there playing chess.”—Kobe Bryant, Aug. 23, 1978 “This is my homeland; no one can kick me out.”—Yasser Arafat, Aug. 24, 1929 Leos can spin out of control when faced with who they really are—always a shock after having been mesmerized by one’s own reports of ones own greatness. The resulting complete loss of Leo vitality can be reversed by embracing change and humility. For the king of beasts, less can be more. Less fat; more energy, less meat; more life. Less authoritarianism; more freedom. e some quotes from brainyquotes.com The Leo Legacy “If the American people don’t love me, their descendants will.”—Lyndon B. Johnson, QUINTUPLE LEO, Aug. 27, 1908 “A person hears only what they understand.”—Johann Wolfgang von Goethe, Aug. 28, 1749 “I look upon pride as a sin.”— Tommy Lee Jones, Sept. 15, 1946 “I’m doing naughty things, I’m drinking too much, I’m going to clubs. It really didn’t matter to me, other than the fact that some parents wouldn’t let their kids hang out with me.”— Macaulay Culkin, TRIPLE LEO, Aug. 26, 1980 “Reality is a crutch for people who can’t handle drugs.”— Lily Tomlin, TRIPLE LEO, Sep. 1, 1939 “I think it’s not a femme fatale when someone is not doing it to manipulate men or be like a black widow. She loves him. She does it out of love. She wants him so badly to stay with her.”—Salma Hayek QUADRUPLE LEO, Sept. 2, 1966 “I may be dumb, but I’m not stupid.”—Terry Bradshaw, Sept. 2, 1948 “Certain people who care about me a lot have said ‘You don’t play the game, and if you don’t play the game, you don’t get picked for the team all the time.”—Rosie Perez, Sept. 6, 1964 “To slow down this recession/ And make our economy thrive/ Give us our social security now/We’ll go to work when we’re 65!”—Nipsy Russell, Sept. 15, 1918 “There’s people making babies to my music.” —Barry White, Sept. 12, 1944 dailytrojanbeta.com page 6 “I’m a trisexual. I’ll try anything once.”—Kim Cattrall QUADRUPLE LEO, Aug. 21, 1956 “So many people bare their midriffs, I don’t know why mine is such an issue.”— Shania Twain, TRIPLE LEO, Aug. 28, 1965 ida.convio.net The vitamin hand-maiden to the Leo king is vitamin E.

Vitamin E will burn away the greasy leftovers in the blood, leaving your veins clear, your heart strong, and, most important; increase the libido and virility. wallpaper-s.org meat? The bad news is that you cannot. You must find the taste and texture satisfaction some other way. Blood-lust aside, meat by definition is unhealthy: why would you be even looking for a replacement? A sea change must take place. Is the king still liable to the addictions and short-sightedness of a peasant? Do you really want to take dead or rancid cells into the body? Is the raucous taste of meat a legitimate craving or merely a clever package for slow agony and early death? A come-hither smell that leads you to your own version of a Waterloo? Who said that this trash-or-treasure protein option was actually good tasting, anyway? Your erstwhile dying parents, and their largely prematurely dead forbearers? The vegetarian must think outside the box, in this case, the cage. Hunger is not unexpected and does not have to be satiated in the fastest possible way. The preparation and cooking of whole grains and true greens will humble Leos and give them time to think. A large heaping of brown rice or other whole grain contains almost all the proteins and carbohydrates that the body needs; it’s the perfectly balanced food— halfway between acid and alkaline. That’s right: whole grains replaces meat. If you must have a centerpiece on the plate, let it be the grain, not the gristle. But let’s say you just need the bulk and feel of meat, as well as the taste. The Indonesian staple Tempeh may be your answer. It comes in meat-like slabs, and you can fry it, broil it, and flavor it with bacon-bits if you want; whatever you need to chow down this great source of non-fat protein, B-vitamins and friendly intestinal flora. Enterprising cooks could use gluten—the grain “essence” without the starch—to make into a cutlet-like substitute that can be flavored at will. There IS life after meat, Leos, so take heart, you can still pounce on your prey. shaniaforums.com Hair today, gone tomorrow THE LEO WAY continued from page 5 page 11 The Leo Code: Sex and Mystery Leo is sexy the way a cat is sexy; supine, sensual, Beyonce Knowles and secretive, selfish. Keanu Reeves: two Leo people can be hearthrob Leo sex unconsciously sexy, just symbols, and how as a cat can seem; they they got that way preen and prance, tails waving, as if with their own special brand of arrogance, almost as if they create a sexual spell under which we must ultimately worship. It’s a ruse of course, since Leos are hollow; their sex is skin deep, power is their only indices, and they project more passion then they possess. Why worry? They are the repository of our sexual fantasies. Two cases in point are Sidereal Leos Keanu Reeves and Beyonce Knowles. Made magical by our pedestrianism, both of these sexy stars seem to accept the fan worship with aplomb. Beyonce is very much a result of her own careful construction, with five planets in Virgo, she stays the virgin princess regardless of her marriage and overtly sexual music videos. She adapted herself to our branding of a sex goddess. With her moon in Libra, she is perfection in a woman; her Uranus conjunction gives her what little personality she has; under the make up and extensions, she is an empty bell, waiting for our attention to breathe life into her. A self-admitted “rehearse-a-holic”, Beyonce is a female player, a trophy wife who hunted down a husband that she could make look good and who could keep her in the strata of wealth to which she aspires and requires. Her superstar stature far outshines the real, asexual woman, who, at best has parlayed a very limited skill set into international fame and adoration. Keanu Reeves has a similar patina, but with the added dazzle of a Gemini Moon, Mars and Venus. We can see anything we want in his lipid gaze, even if there is a void in his head. Reeves is all show and no go—a quadruple Leo—so we supply the intelligence and mystery and draw our own conclusions. A superficial man made to look soulful by design, Reeves makes a splendid hipster turn-on for today: self-absorbed, emotionally detached; his gender of choice a matter of auspices rather than passion; he makes for the quintessential slacker sex symbol. He’s as sexy as we want him to be, and his Mars Venus conjunction makes him alluring to both men and women. His tight Leo conjunction gives him an air of seriousness, of depth, yet in fact, he is as complex as a teen. Like in his role in The Matrix, we want him to be our hero and savior, but is he really the one? The fight-flight instinct of Leo is illustrated in the charts—and lives—of two young African Americans who faced a critical showdown with white America, but had very different reactions. Both men have a Sun-Neptune aspect (which they share with Barack Obama)—a dangerous combination where Neptune tells us our fantasies are real, and the Sun actually helps shape us physically to look the part. While Sidereal Cancer Obama shaped himself into our political mothersubstitute, Sidereal Leo Dave Chappele became our hippest commentator on American race relations and deftly satirized our racial fears and stereotypes.

Chappele balked; he worried that his sense of humor was about to be hijacked and trivialized by the suits at Comedy Central. Chapelle’s Sun Neptune square’s bubble had burst in his face, and he didn’t want to be known forever as Uncle Tom on Crack. By the time the public learned he had spurned the offer, Chappelle’s white business partners were calling him “insane.” In the corporate family, there are no quitters, only scapegoats, and the media was furious at him. With his Moon in Gemini, Chappelle actually just reserved the right to change his mind, to choose the Flight option, and he had the strength—Mars in Aries—to escape before he was swallowed up.

With such sensitivity, why would he opt for the role of an assassin? With the pent-up aggression of Mars square Saturn, and Jupiter opposing his career growth, his lack of other options may have conditioned him to see murder as just another job. With a Cancer Mars, Venus and Mercury, he would do anything for his homie “family”—even kill. Morris was a loyal Leo soldier. His violent life evolved in a REAL jungle—the drug wars—and he did what was needed to survive, ultimately at his own expense, as well as his victims’. As a black man in a white-run prison system, his Sun Neptune turned into an express train to hell; the reality is that his life is over; the racist state that created him will now bury him. Rehabilitation in prison is the only hope for Morris; his arrest was a forced withdrawal from a sordid, vicious life. He could be a healer instead of a monster. If the Florida penal system doesn’t execute Morris, he could well embark on a new life, and find redemption in helping people instead of killing them. page 7 A MADMAN AND HIS FOLLOWING: L. RON HUBBARD & THE FOUNDING OF SCIENTOLOGY As a boy, Laffayette Ron Hubbard left his Nebraska birthplace to travel with his navy father to Guam, where he first began to develop an interest in the human mind, from conversations with a naval officer about Freud and Indian gurus. As a man, Hubbard tried several careers before he decided on developing his pseudo-physchological religion. He studied civil engineering at George Washington University, but did not get a degree; at the outbreak of World War Two he took a four-month military course at Princeton—he was later to claim he had “attended” Princeton, and was a nuclear physicist. He did not pursue a military career after losing his first three commands. However, Hubbard had, in the meantime, become a very prolific writer. In five years he wrote 138 science fiction and adventure novels. His first article on page 8 Dianetics was published in 1949, where he established Scientology as a “scientific method of mental therapy”. He founded the Hubbard Dianetic Research Foundation in New Jersey in 1950. Hubbard was a Sidereal Aquarius with Moon in Leo and Ascendant in Scorpio. In its most negative outcome, this combination produced in Hubbard a pathological liar, a haughty narcissist, and a leader with no conscience. Someone else with his birthchart might have saved the world— but Hubbard did not. He was a clever salesman of words; a charming, seductive storyteller with an imaginative SunMercury conjunction in the 3rd house trine 7th house Neptune. He knew what to say and how to say it to convince others to believe his most ridiculous ideas. Add a Jupiter trine to the combination and we have a man who couldn’t tell the truth if his life depended on it. Hubbard also utilized his lucky Sun, Mercury-NeptuneJupiter Grand Trine for his advantage, for writing and publishing. The cult-status he gave to Scientology was a negative manifestation of this otherwise very positive, inspiring, and even hypnotic aspect. Hubbard introduced a signature, two-person, question-and-answer interview called “auditing” that focused on painful memories he called “engrams”. Dianetics is used to “clear” people of engrams. In 1950, after a Clear “graduate” was presented for interviews to the public and performed poorly, Hubbard angrily quit his own foundation, and accused the board of harboring communists. In 1953, a rebounding Hubbard was awarded an honorary PhD in the field of “Dianetics and Scientology”—by a nonaccredited school in California—one that was ultimately shut down by state authorities as a “degree-mill.” It was later revealed that Hubbard had bought the school and awarded the PhD to himself. Hubbard Gets Into The Religion Business Hubbard founded his “church” of Scientology in Camden, New Jersey, in 1956. By vigorously promoting his books, Hubbard was able to attract people who wanted to escape their traumatic memories. Hubbard claimed that physical illnesses were psychosomatic and anyone reaching a state of Clear would be relatively disease free—and wildly successful and happy. He developed an “Electro-psychometer” to measure stress levels in church members and extract lurid confessions of their most intimate details—which were kept for later use. According to Hubbard, the negative Engrams stored in the Reactive (unconscious) mind were carried by Immortal Souls who were killed 75 million years ago by Xenu, an Alien Warlord and who now attach themselves to humans. In order to be free, believers paid fixed donation rates for audits, courses, books and other services in a hierarchal pecking order, according to how many audits one endured. Additionally, the church published and distributed Hubbard’s books, making Scientology the religious organization most blatantly run like a secular, for-profit business. Hubbard’s potent Mars-Uranus conjunction in his Capricorn 2nd house desired money, above all. Lots and lots of it. Hubbard’s need for money and power was compulsive. With a Sun-Pluto square he became an anal-retentive power tripper and control freak as well. Hubbard at the time admitted that making Scientology a religion solved “a problem of practical business”. While the church publicly emphasized the importance of “spirit and mind” over the physical body, it meanwhile resembled more of a giant Ponzi scheme, where veteran church members were rewarded, with Hubbard the biggest beneficiary. Members who wanted to quit were often blackmailed by their Auditors and subject to threats and physical harm. Someone else with Hubbard’s Sun-Neptune trine could have been truly inspired, spiritually and artistically inclined; someone else with his Sun-Pluto square could have changed the world for the better. Yet Hubbard was only inspired to cultivate his addictions to the accoutrements of power— drugs, alcohol, sex, abuse—you name it. With South Node conjunct Jupiter in the 11th house, Hubbard was born already possessing the skills to hold sway over large groups of people. He was destined to be a leader of a flock. Taking ruthless advantage of naiveté, however, was not destiny, but pure misuse of free will. With Neptune and Pluto in the 7th house, Hubbard seduced and then abused his followers, his three wives, and anyone else who was foolish enough to listen to him. His natal Venus trines his Ascendant; where Neptune gave him an aura and Pluto offered charisma, Venus gave him plenty of charm—a wolf in sheep’s clothing. Scientology Under Investigation Hubbard’s bizarre activities gained notoriety as early as 1950, when he took a first serious hit to his reputation, when transiting Neptune had crossed his Midheaven and transiting Mars had activated this long term transit. Hubbard’s reputation certainly fluctuated during the long Neptune transit, but when that planet crossed over into his 10th house in the summer of that year, for the first time ever, the master liar and manipulator was exposed like a bad penny. Neptune’s entry into the 10th house—public attention—occurred only after a very long stay in the 9th —beliefs and religion—which gave Hubbard time to enrich the story he was to feed his followers—and his SunNeptune aspect made it easy to weave a spell. Hubbard developed his theory of Dianetics while Neptune was moving through his 9th house, which enabled him to establish himself as a guru. As Jupiter and Uranus took residence in his 7th house, he received the long-term support he needed from people who had the means to afford his costly therapy. Yet it could not last. Hubbard’s house of cards was to collapse. To avoid investigation in the UK and Europe, in 1966 Hubbard moved to Africa, to the-then state of Rhodesia. In spite of his financial support of that Apartheid regime, he was asked to leave the country. In 1967, to avoid arrest, Hubbard created a new offshore religious order, the Sea Organization, replete with a ship, titles and uniforms. Sea Org became the core Scientology management group with Hubbard as Captain. On board ship, he was served by teenaged girls who prepared his shower, dressed him, and caught the ash from his cigarettes. Hubbard had frequent screaming tantrums and punished his servants harshly. He would lock his adult or child victims in the ship’s chain-locker for days and weeks at a time, continued on page 14 page 9
