Astrology And The Possibility Of Violent Disruption Of The Democratic National Convention – DNC 2008
Ask the collective
Living in Denver, the city hosting the Democratic National Convention, we are paying close attention to the news. News like this:
Blackhawk Flyovers Whip Up Concern, Curiosity
And this:
FBI to descend on Denver for Dem event
The soldier and I have been discussing the possibility (the likelihood) of trouble in Denver and I finally peeked at the chart which look ominous.
Anyone care to predict events in Denver during the convention?

Ha ha. Well, I am not sure when the convention opens so I am not sure if the chart is precise. I set that for 8 AM on day 1.
There is talk of terrorist attacks… definitely disruption, riots, glass-breaking and the like. Slogan is “Recreate ’68!”
Traffic and timing is going to be chaos for sure. Check that exact opposition to Mercury. Mars is looking pretty pissy too. Stuck in Libra (fight for *supposed* peace) and in hard aspect to Pluto.
That morning the Moon will will oppose Pluto setting off the late degree mutable people yet again and being one of them… well the chart does not look innocuous, that’s for sure.
LOL Jilly, no fry zone. Good score.
Anyway, I am going to go out on a limb here and say that I feel hopeful that things in Denver will be OK despite the Moon/Pluto opposition. At any rate, I don’t think it’s going to be a terrorist situation or a violent disruption coming in from foreign terrorists. If there are problems, they would more likely be domestic (I used the 8 am time).
I think things are going to go off pretty much according to plan in Denver that day, but that day does look hot for people with late mutables (which very much includes me). I guess it might help to have a chart for Denver, does anyone have that?
Here is my reasoning process: the Uranus opposition is separating. And, looking at the chart ascendent, Venus right on it should serve to protect the Ascendent. Venus so closely conjunct Mercury is a good thing in that Mercury can take the tone of the nearest planet (I am looking at Venus as a ‘benefic’ planet).
I also look at Jupiter as a benefic planet, and it is on the Ascendent by trine aspect, giving the ascendent double benefic energy. yes Mars is in the first house, but it’s aspects are separating and the orbs are wide-ish (I am particularly fond of tight orbs in my work
.
Moon is well placed in the 10th house and gets no major aspects from Mars or Saturn. I am of the belief that the Sun is a hotter and stronger luminary than the moon, I’d rather see Saturn on the Sun than on the Moon. And neither luminary is hit by Mars by major transit (I am fond of sticking to the major transits in my work).
I have never made any kind of public prediction before, so I am trusting Elsaelsa as a fun place to do it =swoons= If I’m wrong, I will stand still and take my flogging like a …. good sport
.
Correction: The Uranus opposition is not separating, duh, Uranus is retrograde, sorry!
I’ll still stand by my guess even though that T- square, um grand cross is a bit unnerving .
Ack!Late mutable here and the heck with the DNC, that’s my first day with kids back in the classroom
no, don’t want to predict trouble, thank you very much.
should be a wild ride one way or another, though…
Second to last paragraph in my last post I said transit, I meant to say by aspect. In case anyone wondered.
Hey, could you do one for the RNC too? For those of us in MN that would need to suffer through that mess.
Reminds me of Nairobi right before the embassy bombing in 1998. There were riots and the Nairobi city council went against a court ordered stay to not “take” land and give it to a mosque as it would destroy one of the most famous markets in town. Long story short – they did, in the middle of the night, with bulldozers. Turned it into a mini-warzone and so the riots started.
The energy of the city was bad, many people were sending family out to the country and I booked it out of there cuz the energy was so nasty – a week early. And then lost friends in the bombing.
I hate feeling that energy but not knowing what is coming down the road or which way to turn.
The opening time for the convention is Monday, August 25th at 3:00 PM MT.
Well, that changes everything about a prediction I made earlier given that it is an entirely different chart. but I’m not going to do another one, just not in the mood. Just, anything I said before on that topic should be disgarded.
