Dear
brother Francis aka Bubba
Don,
thanks
so much
for this mailing of your article. Really and truly, I love this man! To
me he
represents everything great in a human being. Just watching him
interact with
the people and his wonderful smile, he is indeed our last hope for a
better
world. Your comparison of the two Hugos is true genius! I immediately
went to
work and put your article on the web. Francis, I'm sure you feel like
me, this
man uplifts my spirit and makes me feel like going to Venezuela right
now and
to dance and sing with the people... If I was in my thirties again, I
would go
there and work for the Revolution! God, I'm so inspired. Just got
through
watching the video "the revolution will not be televised". What a
great piece of work and inspiration! Can't help myself, I feel like I
have
found the "Messiah". I have a feeling that you are doing his
horoscope right now... Can't wait to read it!
Thanks
again,
Holger
the terrible.

Howdy
do, Brother Holger....
Of
course you like Hugo Chavez as I do, too. That's because you're an Old
Gnostic
Idealist, eh? And, (horror of horrors)
you are a passionate person with intense feelings which you struggle to
express
and to live by. Now that particular combination is usually guaranteed
to clear
your head, open your nostrils, and make it easy for you to wake up and
smell the coffee!
Hugo, standing before the
assembled leaders of the United Nations, had the simple honesty and
unapologetic
sheer gull (stemming from such simple honesty) to announce that he
could smell
the sulfur
fumes associated with our
Bush
Devil who had stood the day before
in the very place (UN-New
York) where Hugo was standing. The stench of
Bush Rot,
the air pollution, the
sulfur fumes overwhelmed Brother
Chavez's nostrils and he smelled the
Demon. Then he said so, and
millions of us all over the planet (but
especially
we Americano Gringos) felt a Great Relief ... whew! finally somebody is
voicing
our feelings! Bush
is a Devil (and Hugo turned his eyes to heaven
in sincere
theatrical gesture) and
Bush smells of
sulfur (rotten eggs)! The
sound of Truth from the voice of Poetry!
BUSH
IN
REAL LIFE
The Devil Bush In Real Life
Hilariously,
but also as a Good
Shaman, Brother Chavez then made
the "Sign
of the Cross"
and went on to expose
the
Terrorism Bush has spread all
around the Globe .... bombing Fallujah
with white
phospherous, sewing Depleted
Uranium into the soil of Iraq,
Afghanistan, Bosnia
(via Clinton & Associates) and on the WINDS circling the whole
EARTH. He
spoke the forbidden Truth, and hearts and minds everywhere smelled and
thought
that truth, and it was as if a Great Dam had suddenly burst and the
River of
Freedom and Life was allowed to flow once more. Korporate American
Media went
into instant shock generating frenetic "spin" to cover up the Truth
Hugo Chavez set loose. It was wonderful to witness.
Here
we have a man of the Earth, a man of Native Indian Stock who never
fails
(as
he did a few days before at a Public Gathering in England -
http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=2890538484984018160
)
to
speak of the sacredness of Earth & Soil which gives us Spirit and
Life. A
man standing up to the proposed Global Korporate Government, the
International
Monetary Fund and the World Bank, and breaking their hold on the people
of
Venezuela and on ALL Nations that might join in that battle with him. Then,
quite humbly
at the UN he spoke that other unspeakable truth, that Korporate USA
Bushco CIA
tried to assassinate him. He called Bush a KILLER. Simple
truth,
but a truth that never passes the lips of American Media Journalists!
Really,
what a heavy weight of oppression his words remove from the hearts of
honest
people all over the World! He's a great gust of fresh air, a warm
breeze of
heart energy, an honest man. And he knows he's a man, not some Idiot
Napoleon
HERO -just a simple man with faults and shortcomings like ALL of
us. You
just gotta love the guy.
And
you're right, Brother Holger, it's all right there/here in his
birthchart.
Birth
Chart Of Hugo Chavez
I
mean, just look at his Moon-Feelings in the sign of Cancer, the Moon's
very own
Sign -sign that She rules, sitting with Jupiter (exalted in Cancer) on
her own
South Lunar Node with Mercury and Uranus! Wow! Now that's a "FULL
HOUSE" in any card game! This is the SIGNATURE (in the
Astro-Gnostic sense) of a MAN
OF FEELING. TRUE FEELING. A MAN OF THE
MASSES,
THE PEOPLE.
And with
Mercury
(the rational brain + speech) conjunct Jupiter there in Cancer this man
is a
heartfelt, genuine OPTIMIST.
When he opens his mouth to speak that
Jupiter
force of expansive, optimistic Feeling shapes his words, inspires his
thought.
He actually believes in simple, honest feeling and
goodness. And look at
his
Sun, he's a Leo .... very early Leo, the Aries decanate of Leo, a
spontaneous
Aries-Leo LEADER. A PERFORMER. A real
"Ham" .... his speeches
are always so
full of theatrical effect/affect and yet it all comes from the heart
suffused
with honest feeling! He's a man who loves a "good show". They say he
has a weekly call-in TV Show down in Venezuela and that he sings on
that show,
ham's it up for the viewers. A real man,
genuine and full of the rare
energy of
the "Father-Nurturer" Archetype conferred by Jupiter exalted in
Cancer-Feeling. And this Father-Nurturer energy is part &
parcel of
his
Past Life Inherited "soul force" because Jupiter & Mercury are
both conjunct the Moon's South Node (symbol of "automatic" or "default"
behaviour carried over as good karma into the current life) ...he knows
he's a Man
of the People, has an urge to fulfill the role of the "GOOD
FATHER
FIGURE". He's "got charisma" .... that impalpable but very
real "something" that grabs at the heart because it shares all that
is common of good feeling with everyone else, - and as an equal. Yeah,
he's got
a bombastic Leo flair for theatre, but it's heartfelt and he sincerely
means
it, seeks to use his own love of Leo "Noble Heart" energy with
the general Public-Masses. The Cancer element brings all that into a
very
PERSONAL form of theatrical but nurturing feeling he seeks to share
with
others. Such sharing exalts him, makes him feel loved & lovable.
Viva
Chavez!
Of
course, no one yet among web astrologers has posted the exact hour and
minute
of his birth, but we do know the exact day and year (June 28, 1954) and
place
(Sabaneta, Venezuela) so we have to go here with a Public Persona
(Noon) Birth.
This means that the placement of every planet is pretty accurate by
degree and
sign (hence aspect, too) with only the Moon as an exception. Since the
Moon
never travels more than 15 degrees in a day we can rest assured Hugo is
born
with the Moon in Cancer but the exact degree of Cancer cannot as yet be
determined. Now, with the Sun at 5 degrees of Leo and the Moon
somewhere
between roughly 5 and 25 degrees of Cancer we know that Hugo Chavez is
a "Dark Of The Moon" temperament. It's a
wide-open temperament
devoid of emphasis on personal ego, the temperament of a Soul blown on
the
Winds of God's Breath. A SEED. A person who sews the seed of a
rich and
fertile harvest from the past into the present. He's of the original
Native
Bloodline of the original inhabitants ..."Indio" ... a man of the
Earth, a farmer. But a SHAMAN as well, because the Dark Of The Moon is
the
"witching" time, the time of the Castenada (Don Juan) "Crack
Between The Worlds" ... he's got a
direct "pipeline" to the
Divine which uses him for its own ends as long as he keeps his personal
ego out
of the way. He is a
"Walker Between The Worlds" of Spirit and Matter
.... has direct communication with the Spirits of the Ancestors.
And this is
NOT an easy role for any "Dark Of The Moon" person because it
testifies to a Life that can seek no
personal ego rewards but is best
when allowing
itself to be used by Spirit. Hugo Chavez, from all the video
tapes I've
been
able to view, the interviews with him I've been able to read, clearly
demonstrates in action this Spirit of the WALKER
BETWEEN
WORLDS. (Hey,
Natural
Gnostics must LOVE him!) He can REALLY speak of "demons" and
"devils" because he has access to the Dark as well as the Light
aspects of the DIVINE. Demons and Devils are as real to him as People
and Corn
Fields and Oil, but he can relate -even to these demons & devils-
in that
heartfelt Cancer-Personal-Feeling mode and is naturally compassionate
because
of that. He could easily "accept" or even "forgive" folks
like George W. Bush their evil ways provided they genuinely struggled
to
surrender those ways and tried to be REAL, FEELING, "CHILDREN OF
GOD". This, I hasten to add, does NOT mean that
such people have
to
be Religious "God Believers" .... because Chavez understands the
DIVINE even when it takes the form of "atheists" or "agnostics"
... as long as any human being HONORS the COMMON BOND OF
FEELING-NURTURING that
is SACRED TO LIFE, Hugo Chavez will embrace that person and do so
personally.
Lovely man, really.
So
we've got this Shaman who's a Leo HAM and a Leo Leader and is above all
else, a NURTURING MALE
FATHER FIGURE. But look,
he's born with Mars
in
Sagittarius, so he's born with the Spirit of the Truth Seeker willing
and able
to FIGHT for the Truth. It's not some ABSTRACT TRUTH, nor any RELIGIOUS
DOGMA,
nor any exclusive NATIONALISTIC PHILOSOPHY but a Truth of NATURE. He
fights to
defend the Truth of HONEST PERSONAL FEELING SHARED COLLECTIVELY. That's a
wonderment, don't you think? I mean, we have lots of bozo's willing to
fight
for this, that, and the other philosophical-religious Dogma, but how
rare to
find a man able to fight for NURTURING. For LIFE itself. Viva
Chavez! Look how
he
"fought" to provide help for the folks in Louisianna etc. after
Katrina, how he struggles to provide cheap (if not allowed to provide
absolutely FREE) oil to the poor in America -especially his fellow
Native
American "INDIOS"!
Ah
yes, the Oil! Well, in this Public Persona Chart for birth at High Noon
Chavez has the
sign of OIL, SCORPIO as his Rising Sign Ascendant. Bingo! And
look
how Saturn in Scorpio sits right up front on that Ascendant. This
speaks of how
seriously he sees the Oil/Scorpio issues, how aware he is of oil's
consequent
pragmatic Power, the Power it gives the People of Venezuela to effect
Political-Business (Saturn theme) changes. Real, Saturn changes. Saturn
in
Scorpio attests to great personal depths of feeling, to awareness of
death and
the darker side to feeling. My teacher, Dane Rudhyar, was born with
Satrurn in
Scorpio .... these folks are often powerful Occultists. They take the
Scorpio
theme
of "in-depth sharing" very seriously, so we know Hugo is not
just some cutesy, nicey-nicey clutz, he's a man familiar with Mark
Twain's "Mysterious
Stranger" .... he refers to
Twain occassionally in his public talks
and interviews, he obviously delights in Twain's wry humour and acute
wit.
Think of Huckleberry Finn on the raft floating down the
Mississippi
River with Jim, the Black Slave! This is Saturn in Scorpio
depth of
shared feeling.
Now,
put this occult depth of feeling with the shamanism of the dark of the
moon
temperant, add the fighter for truth of Mars in Sagittarius, and the
flair of
the Leo-Sun Leader with charismatic appeal to the Moon Masses of Cancer
and you
see, intuit, know more of the ESSENTIAL BEING OF HUGO CHAVEZ. Don't forget the
optimistic good will and fellow-feeling of Mercury conjunct Jupiter
exhalted in
Cancer and you can FEEL -as every common person can feel- the
essential, basic
human goodness that radiates like a stream of clean and fresh water
from the
soul-core of Chavez. Healing. Nurturing. Pro-Life. Embracing ALL
LIFE IN
FELLOW FEELING and doing so with
the wry sagacity of Saturn in
Scorpio. The
World Leaders look at him and think ...."This Guy's just too good to be
true!" Some other private citizens think so too ... they're
afraid
he's up to something, something no good! This comes from the fact
that
Chavez is born with the challenge of the waning square aspect his Leo
Sun is
making to his Scorpio Saturn. It symbolizes a "mandate" from his SOUL
to keep forgoing Leo FAME in favor of Scorpio sharing. Chavez always
faces the
temptations of "The Man Who Would Be King". He knows that. He feels
it. He just loves how so many common folks love him, and he knows how
that love
feeds him, gives him public power, makes him happy but also tempts him
to
become a BIG EGO ... and that is the
greatest temptation to the
"Dark
Of The Moon" Temperament. While honest folk
everywhere all love
Hugo
we must, nevertheless, keep him humble. We need to remind him he
doesn't want
to be "King" by actively criticizing him whenever he starts taking
the first steps in that direction. You see, in very
many ways Hugo
really is a
simple "Child Of God" and must hold to that child-like state. It
ain't easy to do that while being a Revolutionary Leader ... dirty
deals of
power are always, continuously coming your way. You can get very
"heady" with this much power. Hugo's Sun in waning/separating square
aspect to Saturn constantly warns him of these facts, informs him,
urges him to
practice self-disciplined restraint while simultaneously being
open, spontaneous,
and candid.
A man like
Hugo Chavez with Saturn on his Ascendant in his Public
Persona Chart is a man familiar with discipline and laws, with politics
and
government. I seem to recall he served years ago in the Army and I
remember
seeing a video of him ( The
Revolution Will Not Be Televised ) speaking
about
his Grandfather and Simon Bolivar, and hearing how his Grandmother told
his
Mother that his Grandfather was a violent killer! She was accusing her
daughter
of being "violent" and trying to point out where that violence came
from in the Family History (Cancer theme). He was a boy when he
overheard these
tales, and as I remember it he was worried about having "killer
genes" in his constitutional makeup so he began to investigate all this
through a study of his Grandfather's
history. Saturn is the planet of age and Elders and the earthy
authority innate
to Elders because of their life long experiences. And it seems to me
that Hugo
found that when his Great Grandfather was
a mere boy of 16 he killed a man back in the 1800's over a
matter of
"honor" but then went on to join revolutionary Bolivarians in the
Mountains. Chavez said he found his
Grandfather's "footsteps"
and began to follow them
.... notice the
Cancer
Storyteller there, the person
blessed with the gift of feeling
narration
who follows the thread of feeling to complete the sense of the story.
Saturn in Scorpio combining with Mercury/Jupiter in
Cancer. He tells
personal stories to illustrate emotional truth. A trait he shares with
the
Victor Hugo of Les Miserables fame. Stalking the truth. Staying close
to the
Earth. Embracing the Poor.
Venus
in Virgo, which appears in Chavez's chart, loves simplicity,
clarity, and a no-nonsense approach to reality. Monks, Hermits
and Nuns often have this kind of energy. Architects who speak of "form
following function" have it too, they seek to eliminate needless and
structurally unsound frills. It's a bare-bones love of basic quality
signifying
a desire for detailed and practical work. It DISCRIMINATES, sees
DIFFERENCES,
pays attention to DETAILS -all involved with the "how to" of things.
Rather like a "vow" of poverty wherein poverty means simplicity and
no pretension. For all his
Theatrical-Leonine showmanship Chavez,
nevertheless, uses his Venus in Virgo energy (in his 11th house of
social
groups) to try to solve the basic needs for housing, land, and jobs of
the
poorest people of Venezuela. And since Virgo is particularly concerned
with
health and natural medicine he has brought public clinics and increased
medical
care to the people. Unlike many 'Presidents' and
'Premiers' Chavez is at ease
among the Poor as Francis of Assissi was at ease among us. He's full of
simplicity and plain common sense.
Remember, Venus
in Virgo is the very
symbol
and sign of "Lady Poverty". Hopefully, Hugo can bring this plain
old
love of the poor back into "fashion" among World Leaders ... I mean,
I've seen him now on television in several "serious" places such as
the UN, and he always seems to be restrained in some kind of "suit and
tie" that reduces ALL suits and ties to high comedy! Like a
Grizzly
Bear forced to dress in Western Male Fashion. Don't get me wrong here,
Chavez
(the Man) looks just fine, but the Suit & Tie stand revealed for
what they
really are, -absurd and ugly fashion anachronisms left over from some
Techno-Prehistoric period of the West. His body visibly rejects them,
reveals
them to be the awkwardly confining costumes they actually are. Ugly,
non-functional sorts of generic uniforms devoid of even the least touch
of
creative flair.
Hey, let's
hear it for Hugo Chavez, the unfashionably
reluctant Fashion Revolutionary! Come on,
you so-called "World
Leaders" dress yourselves in some useful attire and get down to the
real
work at hand. We don't pay you guys to stand around looking like
prima
donnas
on parade. There's urgent business needing our attention all over the
globe.
Poverty, starvation, disease, pollution, exploitation, destruction of
the
natural environment. Life is not an endless series of fashion
photo-ops.
(George Dubbya posing on the aircraft carrier in his GI Joe Codpiece
Outfit
under the 'Mission Never Accomplished' banner comes searingly to mind.)
Anyway,
that's probably how Hugo Chavez (Venus in Virgo) sees the picture.
Then
there is the matter of Hugo having his North Lunar Node in
Capricorn in
his 3rd house of Daily Communications. This is an eye-opener
because
Saturn
rules this Capricorn North Node and is right up front on his Ascendant.
Growth
is what the North Node is all about. It indicates what kind of energy
(Capricorn) in what area of life (3rd house) Chavez must use in order
to grow
into and fulfill his completely unique Truth. Well, wouldn't you know,
Hugo is
asked to grow by using the energy of a factual, no nonsense
communicator in
Capricorn areas of Government and Business! So, with Saturn in
Scorpio right up front on his Ascendant, he has little choice but to
talk
soberly and seriously about secretive oil business deals, hidden facts
of
Government, and the Scorpio underbelly of daily communications. After all,
one's Ascendant describes one's 'Dharma Path', the path one has chosen
to
follow in order to become whole, realized,
fulfilled in this life. Chavez
is on a life path guaranteed to take him directly into the
Establishment seats
of Hidden Power in International
Finance, hence his public
revelations
exposing just how the Internationalol Monetary Fund and the World Bank
operate,
-as THIEVES.
And
because his vital life
force, the Sun, is in Leo in waning and separating
square aspect to his Saturn-Scorpio Ascendant he has publicly stated
that he's
aware of the dangers he faces from these Secretive Establishment
Financiers. He
declares he's willing to give his life to "defend the People of
Venezuela" and he may have to because he's brazenly refusing to sell
his
Nation's oil to the International Oil Mafia-Cartel which notoriously
keeps most
of the profits for themselves and their "share holders" thus cheating
the Nations whose oil they exploit and whose environment they
contaminate. As
these thugs see it, THEY DICTATE
THE PRICES but Chavez is
refusing to
play that game and demanding a greater share of those prices for his
People.
This brings him right smack up against the Global Korporate Government
whose
"police" are the various spy & killer agencies of "Civilized
Western Natons". That
means the CIA, MI6, Mossad, ISI -virtually
all
the secret Killer Elites who are the hit men of the
World Bank. . These scum have
already tried to take him out of the picture via the
USA
backed
(financed) "coup" of April 2002.
Make
no mistake about it, not
only
Pat Robertson but the entire Bush Crime Family and their vile cohorts
want to
see Hugo Chavez dead. Ever hear of "Operation Bilbao" ?
No, then
google it. The question is: Will they be successful in their efforts to
murder
him?
Anyway, Brother Holger, you
inspired me to write this much and I thank you and
trust it is, as the famous "tease" goes .... "TO BE CONTINUED".
