Obama’s Immigration Alamo



Crab on shoreline



President Barack Obama travels to Texas Wednesday to raise money for Democratic campaigns in Dallas and Austin, speak about the economy, and meet with community leaders for a discussion about the wave of migrants, many of them children, flooding the U.S.-Mexico border in recent months. TIME; July 9




Shown here is the chart for the Waxing Gibbous Moon phase of July 9, drawn for Washington,DC. Notice the powerful Grand Cross on the angles with Uranus-Pluto-Mars aspecting the Sun in Cancer. The Sun entered security loving Cancer on Saturday, June 21. It  subsequently opposed Pluto on July 4 and squared Uranus on July 8. Cancer is a sign that loves the safety and security of blood relations, families and nations or race. In other words it loves boundaries that separate “my people” from others.  How interesting that the animal symbol chosen for Cancer is the Crab that  lives on the shoreline – boundary between the land and the sea. With the Cancer Sun caught up in stressful hard aspects to Uranus and Pluto clinging to old ideas of family, nation or race is likely to increase insecurity. On the other hand,  applying the nurturing and caring qualities of this sign  encourages growth. (On a broader level this means one of two things (a) if we have been draining ourselves by taking care of others, it is time to look after  ourselves…(b) the reverse is also true in case we have been very selfish and not bothered about taking care of others this is the  time to do it).

On the MC  of the chart with Pluto is the asteroid Hidalgo; conjunct the Sun on the IC is the asteroid Amor while Uranus is on the Ascendant opposite  the asteroid Hybris on the Descendant. Keywords for these asteroids provided by Martha Wescott [1]  are as follows:

HIDALGO: Contact with Latin American, Mexican or Spanish peoples.
AMOR: What interferes or blocks the love and acceptance (of self & others); figuring out whether you can (or should) remain accepting  or  should  you set boundaries or limits on what happens in name of acceptance.
HYBRIS: Glass-ceilings, conditioned limitations.



With Uranus-Pluto hitting these asteroids the US is  being asked to re-examine its concept of boundaries with Mexico which is what the essence of the news item is about.
