About eight years ago, I got really into astrology. I'm not really into it so much any more, but I remember nearly everything I learned at that time, and nowadays I'm sick or feeling tired or blue or something, I'll spend the day lounging on the couch reading trashy mags, some of which are trashy astrology mags.
Around February I was home ill for a few days, and I read a chart interpretation for W's presidency.
I hadn't thought about in months, obviously - until this terrorist attack happened. The reason it came to mind was because I remember the chart interpretation saying that terrorist attacks in the U.S. were a strong possiblity during W's presidency.
I've long since thrown the mag out, but I did locate
this astrological interpretationon the web. Here's some high lights:
[q]The sad news for Americans hoping for four years of domestic and international tranquility is that Mars, at 16 Scorpio, sits directly on the descendant of any chart set for January 20, 2001 at/around noon – give or take 15 minutes. It is exactly conjunct the Descendant for my hypothetical inauguration moment of 12:07 PM. Mars in Scorpio, ruler of the Scorpio descendant in this chart, strongly suggest vehement, fearsome enemies. This could manifest in any number of ways.
A third option, which could manifest regardless of whether either scenario outlined above comes to pass, is that Mars in Scorpio suggests the dramatic projection of military power somewhere outside of the continental United States – perhaps in response to a series of terrorist attacks, or even an attack upon the presidency itself. An old enemy of the Bush dynasty, Saddam Hussain, has been making noises as of late -- and is said to be extremely interested in testing the resolve of the new administration...
However, as seen from the perspective of Astro*Carto*Graphy, Bush's natal Mars is not angular in Iraq – so direct military action may not be likely (but convert CIA-inspired activity might). On the other hand, Bush's Mars Midheaven line runs directly through Afghanistan (where suspected terrorist leader Osana Bin Laden is said to be hiding). Natal Pluto MC runs not only through Iraq and much of the Middle East, but directly through Mecca, the spiritual center of the Islamic world (while the inaugural chart Pluto MC runs directly through Tehran) – with inaugural Saturn conjunct the MC for Jerusalem.
My guess is that President Bush may find himself fighting a battle on both the domestic and international fronts.
....
One would be remiss to conclude any discussion of this inaugural Mars without a discussion of the oft noted Jupiter-Saturn cycle correlation with the death of a president. While this astrologer remains largely unconvinced of the universal validity of this theory (since one has to really stretch the orb of influence to include Franklin Roosevelt -- who was originally elected in 1932, and died in office only after being re-elected again in 1944), the potential for political violence is unmistakably present in the current chart. However, a nearly exact waxing trine from Sun to Jupiter suggests physical protection should the president be attacked. On the other hand, inauguration Moon in the 8th house conjunct Chiron and Pluto, in a nearly exact opposition to transneptunian Hades (and quincunx Ademetos) certainly suggests the possibility of serious illness, a grieving widow or great public sadness. Add to these a square to Venus in Pisces (prayers, sentimental outpourings of affection) and a sextile to technologically-oriented Uranus (perhaps life-support medical equipment).

Coincidence? Probably. But interesting nonetheless..
