Good morning. Well, we finally have a chart to look at: a year of ‘debate’ (vicious infighting complete with kicking, biting and claws) is basically over, and the United States has entered a new era: one where our government does something besides take things from its people and drop bombs.<\/p>\n

Let’s see what we can learn. As most know, the House of Representatives passed the Senate’s version of what is being called health care reform. Other coverage will get into the specifics; I will stick to the astrology for now, and cover it in a few parts today and tomorrow. Let’s get things rolling with an overview of the chart.<\/p>\n

My first inclination was to call this the chart for the National Insurance and Gambling Exotic Instrument Reform Act of 2010. On its face, it looks like a chart about hedge funds. In truth it’s about the biggest hedge fund of them all — the health gambling racquet. One in six dollars transacted in our American economy changes hands doing something like paying for an MRI or chemotherapy or spleen removal or dialysis: what we call health care. One in six<\/em> — probably more. It’s been like this for a generation; I know because I covered the medical industry (specifically, the AMA) in the late 1980s; it was an amazing fact then and it’s amazing now.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

That is a lot of money, and an industry has just been created with this act of law. My instinct as a publisher is saying, get into the business. Start a high-end industry newsletter called Health Reform Bulletin<\/em> and sell it to hospitals for $1,500 a year. Before I write out that business plan, let’s see what this chart says: it is incredible, verging on funny for its astute presentation of the situation. (And it’s so complex on the financial end that there is indeed a lot of money to be made explaining it.)<\/p>\n

In the end, after a convoluted run around the houses, this chart actually does work out to be about an event that addresses health reform, and creates a legacy for our children that we can point to besides the bill for two extravagant, fraudulent wars. And to be sure, this chart affects a lot of people. The personal is political; the Sun is on the Aries Point.<\/p>\n

The minor planets factor prominently and we need to watch them if we want a clue what’s going on. And one last: we need to use a deep-space point called the Great Attractor, which is located at 14+ Sagittarius — precisely opposite the Moon’s position. This point is not shown in the chart; you just remember it’s there.<\/p>\n

The Great Attractor is the biggest thing known; we cannot see it; we don’t know what it is (we just see the invisible radiation being broadcast on every frequency except visible light); and our whole sector of space — a million galaxies in our local group and way beyond — are being pulled toward the Great Attractor at the rate of about a million miles per hour<\/em>. All of this is true, not something out of a video game or Star Trek VII. And that tells us about the force and momentum of this issue.<\/p>\n

The G.A. polarizes reality, creating divisions and strong opinions, but in the end it (whatever it is) is unassailable. The Moon (which represents the public) is opposite this point precisely, in (polarized) Gemini, in the crisis-driven, death-oriented 8th house. Luna in this chart, incidentally, represents the world<\/em> public, not just the American public. In any chart involving the public she represents the public, and Cancer rules the 9th house — global reality. The connection is the global economy; and also symbolically, the United States finally making a move to catch up to the world. This, not one moment too late. The patient (that 8th house Moon) is in crisis. Remember that the pollution released in Africa gets to Kansas and vice versa. Speaking of cancer — how much of that 15% of the American economy is spent on treating cancer, per se, and who creates the cancer? Hellooo Monsanto, Dow, Occidential, General Electric. Who profits from treatment? All of the above, and Big Pharma.<\/p>\n

The 8th is the house of “other people’s resources.” The rancor, the vicious divisions, the insane politics, the bad-faith backstabbing, are largely about money. This is true for both “sides” of the issue, pro and con; for most people, getting medical care is an issue of money<\/em>: of resources. This is a Great Attractor chart; a vast magnet. This event will focus money on the issue; money that will be unleashed with the power of a storm surge as this law takes effect. Note Pholus in the 2nd house conjunct the Great Attractor — small cause, big effect; opening up the lid and out comes…whatever. A money tsunami comes to mind.<\/p>\n

Yet beyond this, two things stand out: one is that there are planets concentrated in the 5th house — chez gambling, true enough, and the big gamble known as our children: the generation that has not yet come of age. That’s all the Pisces. Second, the 6th house of this chart (which I am counting as the whole 6th sign, Aries, even though it looks like it’s in the 5th house) is Aries: a new beginning; an initiative; the focus of attention on something we need to be aware of, which is our collective wellbeing.<\/p>\n

So, though these events occur to the great chagrin of conservatives and progressives (that’s the division of the Gemini Moon opposite the Great Attractor), something appears to have happened that is an actual step forward.<\/p>\n

The United Kingdom, as we know, has a National Health Service (NHS). If you’re a British subject anywhere in the world, you get to go to the doctor; that’s it. It doesn’t all work as well as it should (it’s been starved of resources since Margaret Thatcher’s time), but The UK is a huge country and in reality it does work better than having no option other than an emergency room visit.<\/p>\n

The NHS was founded by a Welshman named Aneurin “Nye” Bevan. Bevan was born in Tredegar, South Wales, and was Minister for Health in the Labour government at the time. He had a hard life as most in the Welsh mining communities did. He was passionate as a result of his own and their suffering. He was known as a great orator, the only one who could really take on Churchill in a debate, despite having had to overcome a stammer. He believed in the principle of health care being free at the point of need, and did everything it took to bring that about. It took a belligerent rebel. To this day he is a great hero in Wales and throughout the Labour movement. The National Health Service was launched on July 5, 1948.<\/p>\n

Here is a bit of what he sounded like, speaking on the eve of the National Health Service taking effect on July 3, 1948. This gives a clue as to the tenor of the fight in England in the late 1940s, which doesn’t sound that different than what we just experienced in the United States.<\/p>\n

“That is why no amount of cajolery, and no attempts at ethical or social seduction, can eradicate from my heart a deep burning hatred for the Tory Party [Churchill and the conservatives] that inflicted those bitter experiences on me. So far as I am concerned they are lower than vermin. They condemned millions of first-class people to semi-starvation. Now the Tories are pouring out money in propaganda of all sorts and are hoping by this organised sustained mass suggestion to eradicate from our minds all memory of what we went through. But, I warn you young men and women, do not listen to what they are saying now. Do not listen to the seductions of Lord Woolton. He is a very good salesman. If you are selling shoddy stuff you have to be a good salesman. But I warn you they have not changed, or if they have they are slightly worse than they were.”<\/p>\n

Here is an artifact from England in that era<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
