America: The Dictatress of the World



Aquila Imperialis



On July 21, 1821, John Quincy Adams, who would go on to become the sixth president of the United States, warned that if America were ever to abandon its founding principle of non-interventionism in foreign affairs, she might well become the dictatress of the world. Adams issued his warning in a speech he delivered to Congress, a speech that has gone down in history with the title “In Search of Monsters to Destroy.”
No one can seriously deny that Adams has been proven correct — that America — or, more correctly, the U.S. government — has become the dictatress of the world — issuing orders and commands to people and regimes all over the world and backing them up with coups, assassinations, sanctions, embargoes, invasions, and occupations, and all headed today by a democratically elected president who has all the traditional traits of an old-fashioned dictator or despot. http://www.informationclearinghouse.info/47947.htm







Historical events when viewed through the lens of astrology have an interesting way of illuminating national charts in a way nothing else can.   When John Quincy Adams gave his speech on July 21, 1821, the US Sibly [1] had for its  major direction progressed solar arc Ascendant conjunct radix Pluto [27cp32]. In addition on that very day, transit Sun [28cn] was opposite radix Pluto,  acting as a trigger for the major direction.

With Pluto now returning to its radix position in the Sibly, Adams words begin to appear prophetic. US Sibly radix Pluto is conjunct the star Altair, alpha Aquila about which Nick Fiorenza writes:  

Altair is of assertive authoritarian militaristic leadership. In classical astrology, Altair is of military force and power. Siderealist AndrĂ©s Takra adds: "Altair has been associated with kings, emperors, conquerors and tyrants”.

Moreover, with Pluto’s declination [-23°43’], it is “out-of-bounds”. When a celestial body goes beyond this maximum declination of 23°27’, either north or south, it is considered out-of-bounds. In that position, the planet is outside the boundary limits of the ecliptic plane − that is, beyond the plane of the Earth’s orbit around the Sun. As you might guess, people with an out-of-bounds planet tend to know no boundaries and accept no limits. Often there’s no stopping them. When an n out-of-bounds planet is negatively expressed, it leads to abnormal or unstable behavior which is outside the accepted standards of society. Its energy can indicate a tendency toward mental imbalance or at the very least create a lot of pressure and stress in an individual’s life.

With Pluto, the planet we associate with control-freaks and dictators, conjunct Altair of the tyrannical Eagle we have a double whammy. And with Pluto out-of-bounds, the danger of these of qualities being expressed in an abnormal and exaggerated way is very high.
