THE IRAQ INVASION CHART

	The Correct Chart Data for this event is  Mar 20, 2003, 5.42 AM BGT Baghdad This is the time as I witnessed it on live television.  The New York Times reports the time of first strike to be 5.35 am BGT see http://www.nytimes.com/2003/03/20/international/worldspecial/20IRAQ.html
	However, from my first hand observation of the event on live television, the sirens began sounding at 5.35 AM, shortly after which I observed objects flying over Baghdad.  I then observed the first explosion from a bomb which appeared to occur at 5.42 am BGT. Wars begin when the first bomb detonates and not when the bombers take off or when sirens sound.

The chart is reproduced directly below for your convenience:

Initial Observations ( I will have more later):

1. Sun is void in Pisces This is no surprise. This is an fated end state event that has occurred after a number of preliminary ones of diplomatic nature. A late void Sun in Pisces is also indicative of a new beginning about to occur, like a new "world order" (to quote a couple of other famous political figures) based upon military (Sun will enter Aries, ruled by Mars) rather than diplomatic solutions.

2. Moon - Venus - Saturn grand trine: Any grand trine involving Saturn could hardly be called auspicious, particularly one with Saturn on the IC, which is the end of the matter. This is further compounded by the fact that Saturn is on USA's July 4, 1776 4.50 PM LMT 7th house Mars. This would indicate that the public as well as many of our traditional allies could be jaded at best about the whole thing after it is over.

3. Neptune and Jupiter are in opposition and rule the chart. Gee, this has nothing to do with oil or religion, does it? I would however consider this combination auspicious if I owned a couple of oil wells. Please call me if you have few for sale real cheap. I heard that there will be a, er, fire sale for them on E Bay shortly.......     

4. 7th house ruler is in the 1st and in detriment. No surprise again. Iraq stands about a snowball's chance in Hell of winning this one. I would definitely surrender if I were an Iraqi soldier. 

5. Saturn squares the ascendant - descendant axis: Saddam gets replaced to be sure, but this indicates a longer protracted conflict and / or a longer occupation after the fact that could prove disastrous. Saturn square the ascendant on the IC also indicates that Astrology was not used ( at least by anyone who knew what they were doing) to determine when to begin the invasion. It is among the most important choices to AVOID make when electing when to do something using Astrology as a tool .   

6. Pluto within 3 degrees of conjunct the midheaven: World War III is a definite option here, although I would not count on that. After all, the higher purpose of all this is to awaken, uh, "Enquiring" minds (you know, the supermarket brain dead tabloid mental giants) to begin thinking in new ways. However, I intend to walk directly towards the bright lights when I see them, regardless of whether they're aliens or not.

7. The outcome of any event depends a lot on what happens after it starts. With Jupiter and Neptune as chart rulers, remember that the television screen inside your own head is your property and no one else's. Keep praying, meditating and visualizing. It does work. Our world leaders, our men and women in uniform, our nation, the Iraqi people, and our planet all need it.

By the way, I did predict this war in the 2003 weekly forecasts. I have posted the page from that work below. The direct reference is highlighted in red as is the reference to the possibility of terroristic acts over the weekend. I also left in the preceding week's forecast which contains some relevant comments pertaining to Uranus in Pisces.

If you'd care to know what could happen next, there are a couple of copies of the 2003 annual still available. Use the Order form to order.
