Mr. Neptune Can’t Get His Story Straight
Sometimes our current president seems immune to transits. Pluto’s been punching his Venus, and yeah, his poll numbers went down, but to nothing like what our former president had to endure. He’s seemingly sailed through a number of transits since he came onto the national public scene.
He’s not immune to Neptune though. He’s a very Neptunian person, or at least he has a very Neptunian persona, full of glamor and a certain sort of charisma. Right now, Neptune is opposing his natal Uranus, and it’s showing. His attempts to explain his health care proposals have been very vague, and he cannot seem to communicate them to the American public, no matter how he tries.
That’s partly because they are vague. At least at this point in time. He left the heavy lifting to Congress and Congress can’t make up its mind. Meanwhile, Obama can’t seem to get his story straight on things like behind the scenes deals with Big Pharma. There is “ambiguity” as one news article put it. Ambiguity is Neptune’s specialty.
Deception is another Neptune specialty and it seems to be rampant these days. That’s not too surprising. The thing about Neptune, though, is that it’s hard to tell who’s doing the lying. Is Obama lying about the effects of his proposals or are his opponents lying when they claim that all sorts of dire consequences will ensue or that strange ‘death panel’ provisions are to be written into legislation. It’s all gotten pretty bizarre–another Neptune specialty.
Maybe they’re all lying or out of their deluded minds. It wouldn’t surprise me if the entire political class–activists, Congresspeople and Administration folks had all collectively gotten on the loony tunes bus and were busy riding it furiously to nowhere.
It’s been a very Neptunian year, but things will get less Neptunian as the process wears on. Won’t they?
