Saturn in Leo: Karma, Cloaked Donations & Schwarzenegger

California governor Arnold Schwarzenegger's troublesare continually mounting as Saturn has transited form Cancer, his Ascendant sign, into Leo, his Sun sign. Things done covertly under Saturn in Cancer are being karmically brought to his doorstep under Saturn in Leo.

This time the hammer is coming down, according to the Los Angeles Times, in the form of revelations about massive donations he has taken from nonprofits that lobby for certain pieces of legislation. WHile it may not be techniclly illegal, ethically it smashes Schwarzenegger's campaign promises of craeting an open government accountable to the public. His attorneys are now sayiung he doesn't have to say anything about the several million he gets in goods, services and bills paid from these nonprofits.

From the LAT: One group controlled by a powerful corporate consultant pays the $6,000-a-month rent on a Sacramento hotel suite used by the governor, who is a multimillionaire. Others have funded media events and political rallies featuring Schwarzenegger and helped pay for his foreign travel. So far, five tax-exempt groups aiding Schwarzenegger have collected $3 million.

Former Govs. George Deukmejian, Pete Wilson and Davis benefited from a tax-exempt nonprofit that helped defray the cost of their Sacramento housing. All three lived in a home purchased by supporters of Deukmejian; the state paid the $1 annual rent. Davis' fund paid tens of thousands of dollars for repairs, maintenance, cable television and parties. Schwarzenegger's current residence fund pays for an 1,800-square-foot Hyatt Regency Hotel suite.

The pounding on the Schwarxzenegger ego is getting significant and we are only a month into the 30 months that Saturn will be teaching him some strong lessons. How will Schwarzenegger handle this latest crisis? By remaining quiet and hoping it will pass over?

Meanwhile, the special election for which he has called and which has lowered his popularity, looms ever near. Commercials informing people of his plan to "create a phenomenon of anger" against teachers, nurses and police officers play nearly everyday.

Something will give..........

A Conservative Call to Murder A President

Things are hopping over in Virginia Beach, Virginia in the USA. The bloodlust is high. Marion Gordon Robertson, more famously known as Pat Robertson, the head of the Christian Coalition is calling for the United States to assassinate Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez .

"We have the ability to take him out, and I think the time has come that we exercise that ability. We don't need another $200 billion war to get rid of one, you know, strong-arm dictator. It's a whole lot easier to have some of the covert operatives do the job and then get it over with."

With his close ties to U.S. President George Bush and the Republican party, Robertson has ignited a firestorm with his arrogant and aggressive words. Astrologers would note that he is an Aries (ruled by Mars, the God of War) born on March 22, 1930...and that Monday August 22 when he made the remarks the Moon was in Aries. One could say his emotions fgot the better of him. Or just that he spoke his true thoughts aloud........

The reason for his vitriolic call for Chavez' murder? Because, Robertson says, Chavez wants to turn Roman Catholic Venuzuela into "the launching pad for communist infiltration and Muslim extremism".

Unmasking Child Rape

Due to statements by and investigations conducted by noted journalist Seymour Hersh, it appears that under Saturn in Cancer, Iraqi children (specifically, boys) were sodomized and raped by U.S. soliders at the Abu Ghraib prison. Cancer is the sign of the Mother who is to take care of her family, to take care of the children. Now Saturn is in Leo, and Leo governs, among other things, children. Normally that would be children enjoying life, having joyful experiences. But this continually unfolding revelation about U.S. torture and abuse war crimes shows children being set upon by an abusive Cancerian regime. The cameras were apparently rolling on these heinous acts and photographs taken are being withheld by the Pentagon despite demands that they be released.

Hersh's original story was published in The New Yorker, and the subject is being discussed in various other places including here.

Saturn in Leo: Schwarzenegger's Chickens Come Home to Roost

The warning drums are beating in Sacramento, California.

Saturn is in Leo now, and will be for another 30 months. As I have already written in earlier articles, it holds an important message for people with significant placements in Leo, especially Sun, Moon or Ascendant. The message - do right or you will get disciplined. It is time when if you have done the right thing in the past you will see rewards now; if you have not, you will feel the Lord of Karma sitting on you.

California governor Arnold Schwarzenegger has a Sun in Leo. He already began having some rather painful and less than meritorious secret past deeds exposed while Saturn was in Cancer. He has a Cancer Ascendant. Now that Saturn is in Leo, it seems he is facing a full-on blast of the message to atone for secretive deeds, to not make secret deals that are in any way unethical or smell of such, and to act in a straight-forward manner. Saturn is delivering the message that ego will no amount of roaring and seeking of the spotlight will win friends and influence people in a positive manner. Across California and the national spotlight people are citing what was a closed door (secretive) plan Schwarzenegger had to discredit teachers, nurses, and firefighters and turn public sentiment against them so he would achieve his financial goals. The plan was exposed and turned against him, with daily commercials featuring actual California teachers, nurses and firefighters at work talking about the plan to blame them for the state's financial woes.

Then it was revealed that he had forged a 5-year/$1 million per year deal with a magazine publisher. He ended the deal but said he is keeping the two years of income he got from it thus far.

Now the Los Angeles Times and the Associated Press are reporting a new revelation: about that secret deal and it ties into his race for governor in the recall election of 2003: two women who could have testified about having extramarital affairs and/or connections to him during several years of his marriage to Maria Owens Shriver, were signed to a confidentiality agreement (one for $20,000 and one for $1,000) by American Media, the same company which then offered Schwarzenegger the multi-million dollar publishing deal. This was done on while Saturn was in secretive Cancer, on August 8, 2003, only two days after Schwarzenegger announced his candidacy.

A tabloid publisher that was negotiating a business deal with Arnold Schwarzenegger arranged a $20,000 confidentiality agreement with a woman who said she once had a relationship with the actor, the Los Angeles Times reported Friday. Malibu resident Gigi Goyette signed the deal on Aug. 8, 2003, with American Media Inc., which publishes the National Enquirer, Star and other celebrity tabloids. That was two days after Schwarzenegger announced his candidacy in the recall election against then-Gov. Gray Davis, according to the Times.

Later that year, American Media reached an agreement with Schwarzenegger that made him editor of two of the company's fitness magazines. Schwarzenegger was to be paid at least $1 million a year for five years under the deal. The governor severed his financial relationship with the company last month after conflict-of-interest concerns arose, although he continues to write columns for the magazines.

The Enquirer in 2001 published a cover story about an alleged seven-year sexual relationship between Goyette and Schwarzenegger during his marriage to Maria Shriver. But American Media never sought additional information from her after she signed the confidentiality agreement, Goyette told the newspaper.

The publisher also signed Goyette's friend, Judy Mora, to a similar contract for $1,000, the Times reported.

Goyette, who worked as an extra on Hollywood film and TV productions and acts occasionally in commercials, told the Times she thought the contract would lead to a deal for a book about her life. She said she didn't think American Media would buy the rights to her story but do nothing with it.

"In my mind, it was trying to seal a deal so I wouldn't do the book with anybody else," she told the Times.

American Media referred calls Friday to New York attorney Stuart Zakim, who did not immediately return telephone calls from The Associated Press.

Schwarzenegger spokesman Rob Stutzman told the Times he believed the governor did not know of AMI's deals with the women and denied a link between their confidentiality agreements and the governor's own contract with the media company.

Schwarzenegger is on vacation and unavailable for comment, Stutzman said. On Friday, the governor's staff said it would have no further comment.

*******
What comment can you make and come off smelling like a rose when Saturn in Leo has taken up long-term residence in your home? It sounds like the message to do the right thing still is wending its way to Sacramento and the Schwarzenegger home and hearth in Los Angeles.

It remains to be seen whether the special election that he has called will take place in November. With three of four ballot questions removed by the state (Saturn restricting and making things smaller in the interests of truly righteous discipline) who knows if it will take place. It will cost millions of dollars that the state could use for other things and some are calling for the one remaining question to be moved to the June 2006 primary election. With Schwarzenegger's reputation sinking dramatically and sitting at new lows in the polls, even members of the Republican Party, his political party, are calling for that move.

Will the call be heard over the loud roaring of a Hummer-sized ego that some would say needs downsizing to a more economical mode of expression?

I can see my grandmother sitting at the kitchen table, rolling flour to make a crust for a homemade peach cobbler and shaking her head while saying "God don't like ugly" and "Well, now, his chickens came home to roost, didn't they?" When it comes to secret deals, extra-marital affairs and coverups, those statements bear some significant truth. Grandmommy told it like it was.

God acts through this universe of ours and we are wisest and most successful when we listen to the message. For now God is speaking through the movement of Saturn in Leo, whether one scoffs at astronomy/astrology or not.

God, through Saturn in Leo, is watching.............
