The Lunar Eclipse of June 4^th has more volatile energy with Mars in a square to the lunation, which features Venus crossing the face of the Sun the following day. This generates anger into the already difficult transition the world is making as it adjusts in reaction to austerity, so calmer heads must prevail, as Mercury trine Saturn slows the conversation down to establish priorities and schedules for workers and managers alike. Yet anger may well rule the day, as arguments erupt ubiquitously and discontent descends upon us all. Perhaps it would be easier if the bi-polarity of the Gemini-Sag pair weren’t so damn scattered or hyper-reactive but life wasn’t designed to be easy. Education is what this opposition is all about, whether it’s elementary, my dear Watson, or the higher learning of a university and the S Node nature of the Solar Eclipse is explanation enough of why our educational system is so lacking in so many ways, the S Node being the place we often fail to function properly. The Sag Moon in the 6^th points to the necessity of more and better teachers to help our kids learn more. It’s also a call to add more and better jobs for more Americans. That need has been met with the ax of Mars, ruling most sharp cutting instruments but it also generates irritation and inflamed emotions. But here’s the secret truth you don’t get from that many astrologers; if the eclipse doesn’t touch points in your chart closely, you won’t feel much of an effect. However, anyone can establish goals and desires during a New Moon of any month, setting intentions that get your priorities in order for that month. An eclipse has a longer cycle than a New Moon, extending until the next eclipse cycle, six months later and can even be extended to the 18 year cycle, if it’s a long, drawn out project. Not too many people have an 18 year plan for anything but very massive projects. Listen to your higher self and see what destiny has planned for you. The answer is in the stars.

Revolting as it may seem, at least three male masseurs have come forward to accuse Travolta of sexual assault, so his lying will not help and neither will Scientology, except to provide him with legal counsel. His main character flaws revolve around his sexual/emotional constructs indicated by the multiple Mutable T-crosses; Moon opposite Venus square Mars and Moon opposite Mercury square Jupiter give some extra dimension to his changeable persona. Karmic issues regarding the Moon are triggered by Uranus on the Cancer S Node in the 12^th house, revealing the kinky secrets he’d have preferred stay in the closet. Going back to the T-Crosses, the Mars squares show an angry, irritable side to him that’s also ready for a fight or a sexual encounter, enhanced by his Sun at the final degree of Aquarius conjoined to Venus in the 8^th and the Sun in opposition to Pluto in the 1^st. As ruler of the Cancer rising, the Moon in Virgo plays a pivotal part in the drama that has unfolded as it’s in the 2^nd house of tactile contact and Virgo Moon suggests uniformed employees in nurturing, care-giving service positions. The square to Jupiter causes the emotions to inflate or needs exceed the role of the player involved, which goes to the Pisces Mercury square Jupiter in Gemini causing him to lie or fudge the facts and there’s a lack of boundaries this aspect entails. This has much to with Neptune’s square to the nodes, making Neptune issues a skipped step for him as his pseudo-spiritual path with Scientology proves and can also trigger addiction and avoidance disorders. Chiron in Capricorn on his N Node square Neptune will ruin his reputation or he’ll trade on his own foibles in the future when work is hard to find. Further insight into his excessive nature comes from Jupiter on the antivertex in which he pulls in false truths and teachings that direct his thoughts and actions. However, Mercury squares the vertex angle providing distractions from his true direction and increases his delusional self-deception that no one will learn about his perverse secrets or that his massage therapists would be discreet. Perhaps his Moon in Virgo is telling him that he needs to be more discriminating about the people he exposes himself to but his progressed Moon is still hanging in a conjunction to Neptune in Libra, so he’s lost any semblance of boundaries regarding his needs and they oppose his progressed Sun, so he might be very fortunate to avoid any time in jail. However, I’ll bet those fellow prisoners have seen Pulp Fiction and might respect Mister Revolting for his role as the cool hit man, Vincent Vega. He’s done a lot of films but his best work was generally early while his later work is a lot of real crap, like Face/Off. But maybe there are still some people that would like to be with him in the end, butt that would have to be in the privacy of their cell. Cancer rising makes him defensive about his feminine nature, but if he’s someone’s bitch, it’ll be perfectly natural.

Going back to places you’ve been before is often different as it’s seen through a new perspective and a different light, as in daylight this time, as opposed to night. However, any way you do it, it’s usually good to get out and do things in nature because that’s always being encroached upon by the spread of civilization, with everyone wanting their piece of the American Dream. Good luck with that, especially with Arizona being ground zero for political insanity, bunched up tightly with Wisconsin, Florida, Texas, Ohio, Michigan, both Carolinas, and a few other states on the edge of reality. Even California has its share of problems because of the inability of the state assembly to get things done or raise taxes. Getting out into nature causes partisan politics to disappear for a while, which is a blessing, no matter what state you may be visiting, as there is an escape from reality somewhere around. We can look back in time when it was slower-paced and simpler but we can’t return to those days, unfortunately, as there are many fun and exciting things I would go back to do if it were possible. We can only be here now and make the best of the hand you’re dealt while angling for better positioning in your subsequent incarnation. You just have to live them one at a time and you’ll be fine as long as you learn from your experiences.

The composite is a double Pisces with Libra rising, which is one reason they are such a beautiful couple and with Uranus on the ASC, the top celebrity item in Hollywood. And Uranus is the pinnacle of a Yod that includes the sextile of the Pisces Moon to Saturn in Taurus, hinting at residential shifts between permanent and temporary, as it tends to be for most film actors. Venus in its own sign of Libra makes an exact trine to Mars in Aquarius with the Moon added into the equation for good measure, although the Moon/Mars combo does square Neptune, usually addictive or passive-aggressive. Sun opposing Pluto hover close to the nodes, making for a powerful karmic relationship built on sexual attraction while being stimulated by the intellectual attraction of Mercury exactly opposite Uranus, triggering discussion about how to change the world. Humanitarian ideals are well developed in this pair with Uranus on the vertex and the ASC while Mercury is positioned exactly on the antivertex, partile, so they had a lot to talk about before they made any major mistakes. But Chiron conjoins Mercury, thus making everything prone to discussion in an effort to heal or get better, which one might expect with a Gemini-Sagittarius couple. I think if Brad and Jennifer had stayed married, they would have driven each other crazy but if Angelina had stayed with Billy Bob, they might have killed each other. Plus there was a greater power of love involved that drives us beyond the comfortable. The moral of the story is that opposites do attract and sometimes they can stay together and even change the world.

Getting back to their charts, what I find most remarkable is the dearth of contacts between their planets for a couple that never argues, other that her Juno on his N Node. Perhaps it’s because he goes along with what she says and she doesn’t care what he says as long as he does what she wants. However, it’s not all peaches and herb because her Jupiter in Aquarius makes for an exceedingly idealistic person but his Saturn opposes, dealing her a harsh blow with reality falling short of her ideal and the Yod it makes within her own chart; Uranus sextile Saturn inconjunct Jupiter, so we’re dealing with big issues here. This could be her many charity functions and activism but he tends to suppress much of what she needs to express with his Saturn opposite her Jupiter. However, it appears both have a problem with truth as her Chiron sits on his Sag S Node and she has Mercury square Jupiter, common in the charts of liars and exaggerators. His wound goes deeper with Chiron in Scorpio square Pluto, which may also have to deal with his time at Bain Capital, since looting, plundering and pillaging many businesses during the later third of the last century has kept them in the chips. Think of the character Maverick, who swindled people and ran from the repercussions, and you have a template for Shitty Mitty.
