Astro*Carto*Graphy
A Locality Interpretation
Prepared for George W. Bush
INTRODUCTION
One
thing is certain about you, no matter where you are -- you're one of the people
who gets a lot out of life because you look beneath appearances and are willing
to think for yourself, astrology being somewhat off the beaten track these
days. So what is ASTRO*CARTO*GRAPHY*EXPLAINED? It's based on the common,
instinctive idea that a person has different chances, luck, experiences or
options in different localities -- that you aren't exactly the same person in
New York that you are in Los Angeles. It works by looking at the planets'
relationships to the places you've asked about at your birth moment. If a
particular planet was especially powerful in the location noted when you were
born, then the affairs that it symbolizes should predominate if you travel
there, reside there or even have anything to do with that location from some
other place.
Since
1976, when the now-standard ASTRO*CARTO*GRAPHY technique was introduced, wide
acceptance by both the astrological community and the public has validated it.
In addition, ASTRO*CARTO*GRAPHY has been able to benefit from the actual
experiences of the thousands who have ordered its maps. The product of this
experience is this new service.
WHY
DO PEOPLE MOVE?
To
understand how this information will be useful, perhaps we should question why
people move around so much in the first place. In addition to the obvious
reasons are psychological ones. Psychologists (Carl Jung especially) have
suggested that people instinctively seek wholeness, or a completeness of their
experience. If it's true that different locations accent different parts of
your potentials, moving offers a way to speed evolution, to get acquainted with
new parts of yourself. So if you find that a location you are obliged to reside
at is one in which some of the more problematical influences predominate (such
as Saturn, Neptune, etc.), you should look beneath the superficial and
immediate desires and concerns of your life and try to understand what emerging
consciousness has brought you here. Every location is good for something, and
you would not be considering living in a difficult one for no reason. Also,
don't get frightened if some of the interpretations sound extreme or perilous.
Every planet has numerous possible manifestations, and, while we've tried to
include them all here, rarely do the more extreme ones occur. The point in this
report is to enable you to anticipate the nature of influences at your
potential residence and so become able to recognize and utilize their most
positive manifestations.
Different
people are apt to react differently to the same astrological influence. You
will feel more comfortable with what you already know, so certain planets will
be easier for you to live under than others. For example, if you are a woman
with traditional values, Mars and the Sun will possibly pose more problems for
you than for a man, since the qualities and life experiences associated with
these planets are not usually socially encouraged in women's upbringing.
Similarly, men will find the Moon and Venus more challenging. People who tend
to follow external authorities and believe in society's order as
unchallengeable may find themselves more at home under Jupiter and Saturn
lines, and stressed by new experiences under Uranus, Neptune, and Pluto, while
individualists and the more self-reliant will reverse these reactions.
You
might find it useful to realize that, when faced with challenging astrological
potentials, it is sometimes easy to "project" these onto your mate or
partner, seeing the emerging parts of your own psyche as things THEY are doing.
If your interpretations seem to fit your mate, realize that these things are
happening because of possibilities in yourself that you aren't ready to face,
and try to develop the positive sides of the astrological potentials described.
EVERY
PLACE IS GOOD FOR SOMETHING
But
the most important thing to realize is that every location is good for
something; if you recognize and understand its potentials, you can use them
constructively. You'll find that in some instances you don't even have to
travel or live in the location -- that its influence affects you through people
who come from there, or remote concerns, such as business, cultural or other
life interests that symbolize those psychological potentials described by this
report.
So
here goes with the ASTRO*CARTO*GRAPHY*EXPLAINED analysis of the locations you're
interested in. We hope it opens up for you opportunities to find what you're
looking for in life; but we also hope it enables you to look beneath the
surface, to see patterns in your own development and your instinctive growth
toward wholeness.
Washington, DC
This
locality is under a very powerful influence; as you read the following
description, realize that since you are extremely close to the exact,
dead-center of the influence, your time spent here is almost certain to be
unusual, powerful, and constitute a very important chapter in your
coming-to-acceptance of the life activities and potentials symbolized. You
would do well to judge the level of previous experience and acceptance that you
have developed for these life activities, and expect that you will be forced to
grow beyond this. If the type of activities and concerns identified seem to be
ones that you do not wish to deal with as part of your daily experience,
perhaps you should consider residence in a different locality, or at least try to
locate yourself 300 miles or more east or west of the chosen locality, where
this influence would be considerably moderated.
Pluto-Ascendant
IF
YOU'RE JUST VISITING, SEEK PEAK EXPERIENCE AND SYMBOLS OF CHANGE
On
a vacation or short stay, you probably won't have time to develop the deeper
and more permanent changes listed below, but you might encounter a symbol or
person who stands for a self that you may become at some future time. This
awareness can be precipitated by exposure to the concept of mortality in some
form, which could include sexuality as well as birth or death. This is a likely
location for "self-renovation," particularly if undertaken
consciously, such as in psychoanalysis, or for other types of peak experience.
In Pluto's realm, the structures of society and selfhood give way to a more
universal order. Do be careful though, especially if the ideas described below
are repugnant to you.
LIVING
HERE IS THE FIRST CHAPTER OF THE REST OF YOUR LIFE
If
you are tired of three-dimensional reality, the laws of physics, cause and
effect, and society, this zone may be congenial, as here the odds are
continually defied, firsts and lasts in life are encountered, and actual
miracles can happen. Most people would rather not think much about death -- we
live as if we were immortal and feel that death is something that happens to
other people, hopefully ones we don't know. But awareness of mortality is an
important motivation for the quality and energy of life; philosophers have
counseled us to live each day as if it were our last, and the power and
intensity of the sexual experience stems from its relation to death, as through
reproduction the individual is born anew. Death is the opposite pole from
birth, and sex the bridge between the two. Residence in this zone will immerse
you in experiences somehow allied to these peak-intensity realities, and images
of rebirth, renewal, destruction, eroticism, alienation, rape, and leave-taking
are apt to prevail. Exposure to such universal truths poses problems, as much
of the world's day-to-day operations (like concepts of property and privilege)
are predicated on ideas of immortality and continuity. In touch with absolutes,
you tend to see yourself and others as one in five billion, truly equal in
mortality, and exposure to (or awareness of) death changes your perspectives on
life, leaving you seeing it with greater depth and clarity.
The
theme of social alienation is prominent here, and you will probably do
something to isolate yourself from normal, day-to-day, superficial, and trivial
social intercourse, then complain about this self-imposed rejection, lamenting
your image of outlaw or social pariah. You should have thought of that when you
made yourself a focus or symbol of social forces. Total inner transformation of
the kind stimulated by this zone demands total isolation and an awareness of
the unique and lonely position of the individual as focus of the whole; it's
impossible to communicate your self-perceived position in infinity and fate.
Withdrawal from family and other unquestioned alliance underlies a war with
anything that tries to define or confine you. Such total personal
transformation is not pleasant, usually, as ferment and death of parts of self
must precede new growth. The fields must be burned for new planting.
STEPS
ALONG THE ROAD TO NOTHING
Pluto
was, of course, the god of the underworld and lord of dead souls. His kidnap of
Persephone in the myth adds to the concepts of mortality and finality, those of
rebirth, loss of virginity, the imprisoned female, abduction, and birth, and
suggests that within the female (and her capacity for childbirth) lies the
potential to transcend death, to return from Hades. There is also implication
of renewal through peak experience and the erotic, as well as symbolic
association with resurrection motifs. Through all the trauma, identity is
purged, and a new self emerges, enlarged by the intensity and greater depth it
has experienced.
The
earlier stages of consciousness of this zone are apt to center on loss, as it
is only through this that the new can be given room to grow. A loved one may
leave your life; childhood may be "lost," with a resultant resentment
against family; virginity and "innocence" may be lost, creating a
resentment against sexuality or perhaps the opposite sex. Social position or
status may be lost, with a resultant feeling of alienation and outlaw
consciousness -- you alone pitted against everyone else. This stage sees a
wounded pride and an "I'll get even" mentality that can run the gamut
from self-destructive despair to firearms fetishism, with the emphasis on how
much you have been wronged. A more mature outlook centers on acceptance and
begins to adapt to the new situation. Depression and pessimism are internalized
and gnaw less evidently at the outer personality, but there is a feeling that
life will never be the same. Finally, in stages of mature, conscious awareness
of the power and nature of this zone, you are able to see the immortality that
is afforded by the perishing of old forms and their replacement with the new.
Life's limitations are seen as its motivations, and its losses are seen as a
necessary part of the equation of existence. In this stage, true magic is
possible, as this alchemy of mortality is Nature's secret of creation; when
understood on inner psychological planes, it allows the transcendence of
physical laws, along with sentimentality, illusions, even blind hope and faith.
The butterfly emerges from the cocoon, and just when hope was abandoned, a miracle
occurs, redirecting life with a singleness and purpose only dreamed of before.
For those who give up the pleasures of the trivial, nature awards the absolute.
INTENSITY
ADDICTS
In
light of the foregoing, it should be clear that it takes a special sort of
person to enjoy and prosper in this intense and powerful zone. But it is hard
to know who will or won't, as anyone is apt to change radically here, perhaps
into a person who enjoys intensity more. But the process will be more painful
if you're the type who shies away from the darker side of life experience,
wants life to be pleasant, ordinary, superficial, social, and stable. If the
power of sexuality frightens you and changes or upheaval elicit more fear than
anticipation, then this zone may be particularly trying for you, but the depth
with which your experience is rewarded may be all the more needed. People
attached to their possessions, who feel that money constitutes security, also
have problems, as the experiences of this zone force acknowledgement of the
impermanence of material reality and how it is underlain by the more powerful
laws of energy exchange and equilibrium.
As
a man, your tendency may be to relate to the separativeness and intensity of
this zone with a brutal competitiveness, a rebellious, outlaw mentality,
becoming resentful and alienated from society as a result of some real or
imagined injustice to which you have been subjected. Often there is an
isolation from women or a tendency to objectify relationships into the purely
sexual. Femininity seems alien and absent or can take threatening forms, as in
designing and treacherous relationships; this may extend to the broader
concepts of cooperation, community, and society, which you tend to deny
yourself. Relationships of all kinds center around power, money, and
possessions and you learn, rather unwillingly, a new respect for your limits in
an unequal society.
FLIES,
WOLVES, DOGS, AND MONEY
On
more immediate and practical levels, while in this area, you may come into
closer contact than before with the central themes of death and rebirth;
partnerships may undergo transformation, relationships become intensely
competitive, or people close to you might pass away, leaving you with a more
intimate and painful grasp of this universal reality. Sex is also apt to become
more prominent in your life, and firsts in erotic experience often are
encountered here. Socially, power struggle seems the key concept in this zone,
and your relationship with society may center on oppression or persecution, with
resultant formation of self-reliance and resentment against authority and
"normalcy." If you do not experience these realities directly, they
may come to you through other people, and outlaws, criminals, underworld types,
and the extremely powerful and unprincipled may enter your life. There is even
the possibility of becoming the victim of violent crime, but this is most often
the case only when people repress the other, less extreme expressions of this
energy, so that it has no choice but to manifest outwardly and beyond your
control. All these uncommunicable experiences and traumas serve to assure that
the rest of your life will be shorn of some of the illusions that most of us
live in, and this heightened awareness of reality, like that of a Nazi concentration
camp survivor at a cocktail party, makes you somewhat unwelcome, as you force
recognition of issues most of us would rather forget.
Obsessions
are also often experienced here, and when they have passed or you have moved
elsewhere, you will wonder at the power of an idea and the hold it held over
you. In this zone, you are stripped to your essence, and in learning a weighty
lesson, you acquire a sensual depth, a magnetic charisma that requires you to
live in a world more real than most. Your work may deal with these vital issues
in some way, as, for example, counseling the recently traumatized or bereaved.
Flies, wolves, or dogs are among the symbols of death and decay which may
surface frequently as signs of the change going on within. Money, itself a
potent symbol of how material reality can acquire a life of its own, will be a
preoccupation or obsession in this area. The acquisition of depth is the
overriding purpose of what happens to you here, and any attempts to forestall
this will only up the ante. Better to make a study of mortality and to seek
understanding of the extremes of human possibility.
WHERE
CATALYSTS OF CHANGE COME FROM
Even
if you cannot travel to these zones, they are apt to stand in your mind for
absolutes, firsts, lasts, and beginnings. People from these places may arrive
as great changes are about to beset your life, or, similarly, you may be a
catalyst for change in other's lives who live there. The symbols of decay,
fermentation, and rebirth may be associated somehow with this locality and, a
total resurrection of your possibilities may accompany any dealings with it.
The
particular position that occupied
in this location at your birth will direct this type of energy and experience
particularly into certain life areas; while the most important thing to
understand is the underlying meaning and psychological principle, these are apt
to manifest more obviously in specific life areas than in others.
INDOMITABLE,
AND TIRED OF PROVING IT
The
position of Pluto in this location tends to powerfully evolve your
self-concept, and peak-experience and mortality themes will work through your
own sense of identity, which will undergo considerable change and
transformation here. You feel passionately about what moves you, committed,
intensely competitive, and easily affronted, particularly by those in
authority. Others see you as hypnotically charismatic, memorable, somehow
dangerous, and associate you with things and ideas they'd rather forget. So you
spend a lot of time alone, which alienation has the effect of intensifying
sexual needs. You may come to identify yourself with transformation and enlist
in an endless progression of self-improvement courses in the desire to
transform yourself into something entirely different. You act as catalyst for
change in the lives of others -- people who come under your influence may have
just survived, or are just about to enter, periods of their lives where great
upheaval and chaos occur.
For
your own part, you want privacy and isolation, spend a great deal of your time
alone, hide some aspect of yourself from others, and seem more private,
enigmatic, and mysterious than usual. People see you instinctively as a leader
or a menace, and the hidden power within you brings to consciousness repressed
rebellion, challenge, rejection of authority, and desire for change in those
you deal with. There is danger here, especially for people who prefer to ignore
harsh realities; conversion experiences, near-death encounters, social
ostracism, and scapegoating all are unfortunate possibilities. Phobias and
fears develop, especially social ones, and you are all too aware of society's
inclination to blame its problems on those who are "different."
Intense experiences involving supernatural or archetypal forces occur, yet when
all seems lost, you can pull miracles out of your hat and save the day. The
total personal transformation may be very physical here -- changes in appearance,
body, and "aura" see you renewed by the forces by which you are
purged. Issues of possessiveness, jealousy, domination, money, and sexuality
become central, making it hard to have a simple, pleasant, friendly
relationship with anyone. You are indomitable, but get a little tired of
proving it.
This
location is a little west of the actual planetary influence; therefore, among
the possibilities listed above, those involving your direct perception of your
own personality and identity should be where most of the action manifests. You
will probably come to identify strongly with the various functions, energies,
personality attributes, and activities of this zone, and consciously
incorporate them into your repertory of personality options. Power comes from
recognizing the nature and potency of this influence, which you can come to
symbolize in a very real way for others -- exaggerate it, consciously act out
the positive aspects of its role, and you'll find other people empower you,
recognizing your instinctive ability to handle energies that make them
uncomfortable, or which they do not understand. In your personal relationships,
you will often play the role assigned by this psychological influence, and your
partner may well play whatever is opposite. Success comes from accepting this
role and learning to manage and project it consciously.
SECONDARY
INFLUENCES
The
material presented above describes the most potent and significant planetary
influences operating at the location you have designated at the time of your
birth. It is these concerns and manifestations that should demand your
concentrated attention, and it could be suggested that it is to assimilate and
understand this type of experience that you have considered residence in this
locale. However, there are additional, less potent influences, that also
operate here, due to the geographical latitude at which it is located, a
latitude that has special importance for you. These influences will constitute
a "subplot" or subsidiary influence while you are here, influences of
about one-third the power of the major ones described above, and ones which are
apt to manifest in relationships especially -- with either you or your partner
acting them out.
The
following influence is so weak that it may entirely escape notice. Still, it is
an option that can be developed, if desired, and will manifest more strongly if
it relates well with your personality or other influences present at this
location.
Sun*Moon
PARENTAL
ISSUES INSPIRE SELF-DISCOVERY
Obviously,
the influences of the Sun and Moon together identify a locality where the
concepts of male and female are related, and one where your sexual or social
identity may reach some sort of crossroads. Men may for the first time get in
touch with the full power of their nurturing instincts, and feel a
"mothering," gentle and supporting personality within them; women may
find opportunities to enact long-held dreams and career desires, especially if
these involve acting out individuality in the public arena. Either sex may become
parents here, and you can perceive the interaction of your family
"karma" or inheritance as it conflicts with or supports your ego and
its needs. Shallow egocentricity could result, or a rebellion from authority
that masks overcompensation for feelings of inadequacy and expresses a
resentment that the only behavior that is "approved" is one that
allows little latitude for individuality.
Sexual
and personal polarities are intensified, so that it is hard to relate to the
opposite sex except through conventional, marital gender-cliches, often ones
patterned after one's parents, for better or worse. The need for others'
approval (parents included) is powerful, and while you are able to attract
situations that you want, you feel somewhat out of control. You may here become
acutely aware of a social role that has been "ordained" for you and
resent its inevitability, feeling (correctly) that it ignores your
individuality. This is not an area where you grapple with cosmic issues, and
your life concerns seem ordinary, involved with conventional values and what
others think. The purpose of being here is to integrate selfhood and social
position, but until that is done you may attract, seek, or act out dependent
roles or shallow authoritarianism, often in a manner too wholeheartedly
supported by your social milieu, which doesn't want to deal with real issues
any more than you do.
TEMPORARY
INFLUENCES
In
addition to the permanent, lifelong planetary influences described above, which
affect the location you inquired about no matter when you reside there or deal
with it, there are also important influences of a temporary nature. These
operate strongly during the period about which you inquired (this year if you
did not specify a time period).
Venus
A
TIME FOR LOVE AND PLEASURE
Venus to Natal Pluto
The
period you designated for residence in this locale is one in which its
potentials are strongly activated and actualized, though in perhaps the least
disruptive and confrontive way possible. Processes of change, growth, intense
personal unfolding, and evolution are likely accomplished through the agency of
relationship, and while this may mean that stable, important relationships such
as marriage are under stress or compulsion to change and grow, they also act to
spur you on to realization of who you truly are and your purpose in the world.
Instead of seeing sex and relationship as ends in themselves, or in terms of
possessiveness and commitment, you must become aware of their catalyzing effect
and how they act as precursors to emerging parts of personality and
consciousness. A symbol of this realization may be an attraction to rather
rebellious, asocial types, or even to outlaws, the alienated and unique, who
act out or require recognition of super-social aspects of your own potentials.
Obsessions and unreasonable fixations may occur from time to time, as any
breaks with the past often result in a compulsive need to attach yourself to
whatever first offers itself in an attempt to fill the void. Financial matters
here reflect the general instability and become involved with larger issues,
the economy, and your own personal problems. This period, which is apt to last
about a year, is good for settling up old accounts and making final and clean
breaks with the past, as such can be accomplished with a minimum of trauma and
heartbreak.
Jupiter
FULL
SPEED AHEAD -- A TIME TO PROGRESS
During
the time period you designated for residence in this zone, there is a powerful
temporary influence, lasting about three months, though possibly briefly
recurring throughout the year. When it is past, your reactions to this zone
should return to conformity with its lifetime indications described above, but
during this period, expansiveness, optimism, and increased self-esteem are
promoted by external events which offer opportunities, honors, rewards, and
recognition. You will be dealing significantly with concepts of conformity and
social or cultural regulation at this time, most likely through authorities'
recognition or reward of your accomplishments, but your appetite for success
and wealth may exceed the benevolence of even this fortunate influence, as you
complain that what has been offered you is not enough or is not what you
wanted.
Objectively,
however, business is apt to be excellent, and opportunities proliferate; social
advancement occurs, and health improves. Progress is made in an atmosphere of
plenty and surplus. Others see you as somehow deserving of recognition and
honor (perhaps subtly unwanted or limiting to freedom and individuality), and
your teaching and healing abilities are at peak effectiveness now. You exude
leadership and "quality" and expect everyone to acknowledge an
inherent superiority which you feel now, an expectation that may not lodge well
with the less trendy and fashion-conscious of your acquaintances. Too bad for
them, though, since you may now be admitted to the company of the rich and
famous (albeit briefly), expand your social circle, and find you have more (too
much?) to do to worry about depressing problems. Others' rights and opinions
may not seem very important right now, as you feel your way is the only right
way and that this opinion is validated by the new world of opportunity which
seems to be opening for you. In the midst of all this hope for the future, keep
in mind this influence is short-lived, and try to accumulate durable and real
accomplishments.
These,
then, are the important astrological influences which affect this location, now
and in the future. Needless to say, they all won't manifest the moment you
arrive, but will indeed emerge as the most powerful psychological potentials
over time.
EPILOGUE
This
concludes our enumeration and description of the planetary influences,
permanent and temporary, that affect the locations that you submitted. As you
have observed, some of the information is psychological in nature, as it is the
belief of ASTRO*CARTO*GRAPHY that planets act, not through any mystical
"power" or magic, but by paralleling potentials in the human psyche,
and in orderly and comprehensible fashion, marking the development of this
maturity. It is hoped that you are able in this way to see that there are
really no "good" or "bad" locations for you -- that in the
process of growing into mature completeness, you will have to experience every
psychological possibility. At best, this report will work to inform you what
these are for you in the locations you are considering, letting you know what
to expect, and so empowering you to be able to utilize the most positive
possibilities.
