Good morning.<\/p>\n

Today’s podcast is ready. It’s a look at the Aquarius New Moon that happens at 9:30 pm ET \/ 6:30 pm PT. I look at the incredibly high-pressure situation in Egypt, with massive crowds the past week demanding the resignation and exile of Pres. Hosni Mubarak.<\/p>\n

‘President’ is a ridiculous title for Mubarak — and glancing at Wikipedia this morning I see that Egypt is defined as a “semi-presidential republic under Emergency Law” since 1967. Yes, Egypt has been living in a “state of emergency” (with an 18-month exception) since the 1967 war with Israel, that everyone has forgotten; it’s been a while.<\/p>\n

Yesterday, in response to the protests and apparent demands by Washington that he step down, Mubarak said he would not seek ‘re-election’ when his term is up in September. Of course he’s not really the electable, or elected, type of guy — he’s your basic dictator of a client state of the United States. It’s going to be interesting to see how this plays out with such a powerful New Moon taking place at the peak of the crisis. <\/p>\n

The populist uprising that has swept through Tunisia, Egypt and Jordan has the mark of the Uranus-Pluto square, which is the centerpiece of 2012 astrology. The square reaches its first exact contact in June 2012 but it’s well within an orb of influence — has been for years — to have an influence. But now that so many other aspects are out of the way we’re going to see this event for what it is.<\/p>\n
