All sorts of side stories have had to be pushed aside this week, in order to look at the all-encompassing story of the dissolving empire of media mogul Rupert Murdoch.\u00a0 A generation of minds have been infiltrated by the culture of sensationalizing the news which certainly was the style of the now defunct News of the World.\u00a0 In a world where over the centuries power was associated with politics (temporal power) or religion, he found a way to general domination through a new source: the modern media.\u00a0 His Sun\/Mercury in Pisces shows his self-expression through the genius of that sign (working its way through the fabric of the collective unconscious) in the 3rd<\/sup> House of media, and this trine Pluto (power) in the 7th<\/sup> House and sign of the general public (Cancer), with Jupiter and Mars also in that sign and House for back-up.\u00a0 The Empire Mogul has Capricorn rising with Saturn in the 1st<\/sup> House trine Neptune, adding shape, discipline and authority to the Piscean emphasis in his chart.\u00a0 Karmically, North Node conjunct Uranus in Aries will have used a great deal of intuition in building his karmic mission, and squaring his Jupiter\/Pluto in Cancer suggests power abused in past lives.\u00a0 The Soul Group around him, the members of his family, plus Rebekah Brooks, may have practiced holding power in societies in previous cultures.\u00a0 Rebekah Brooks, now stood down as Chief Executive of News International, has been called the fifth daughter of Rupert Murdoch, and certainly has a family aspect in her Sun trine his Venus.\u00a0 There are a lot of karmic Nodal aspects between members of the group.\u00a0 There is an exact conjunction between Rebekah Brooks\u2019 North Node (karmic mission), which is in Aries (16 degrees) exactly conjunct Rupert Murdoch\u2019s North Node (15 deg 56) \u2013 certainly partners if not partners in crime.\u00a0 Her karmic mission joined and strengthened his.\u00a0 At her resignation this week, the North Node was trine her Saturn and the Nodal Axis squaring her Pluto, invoking a recognition of karmic necessity.\u00a0 Rupert Murdoch\u2019s son James natally had a protected and privileged conjunction of his North Node with Jupiter, but currently has Neptune squaring his Mercury, effectively a rabbit caught in headlights.\u00a0 Andy Coulson who has taken the rap and a pivotal role for years for the phone hacking scandal, had Saturn trine his North Node (similar to but the reversal of Rebecca Brooks\u2019 resignation aspect) when he resigned as Editor of the News of the World.\u00a0 Then further along the chain, Andy Coulson has a family-style link with David Cameron\u2019s natal chart, but you have to stop somewhere\u2026The power of Rupert Murdoch, as with the dictators in the Middle East, is beginning to unravel through the breaking of the spell of fear.\u00a0 The injection of courage into the human race has come into the equation in a big way since the entry of Uranus into Aries, squaring and challenging the authorities of Pluto in Capricorn.\u00a0 The period of this square over the next three years is likely to see some chaos and anarchy before the desired goal of freedom is won.\u00a0 But in the case of the media battle, a start has been made in seeing through the deception and manipulation: it seems that this will all take a while to unravel.\u00a0 At the age of 80, Rupert Murdoch is approaching his Neptune (sleaze) half-return.\u00a0 His natal Neptune, also the ruling planet of his Sun sign, is at 3 degrees 59 minutes of Virgo.\u00a0 Neptune almost reaches the half-return, at 3 degrees 9 minutes of Pisces, in June 2012, but then turns back.\u00a0 It is not until 24\/25th<\/sup> March 2013 that he will experience the half-return, when all may be revealed about what was concealed.\u00a0 The stress by that time may take a toll on his health.\u00a0 In the meantime we need to visualize the sort of society we would like, free of sleaze and violence.\u00a0 I would like to see a ban on violence in film, for instance \u2013 is that too much to ask?\u00a0 There are few aspects occurring in the coming week, and the first not until Thursday.\u00a0 If you would like a cosmic focus for the first half of the week, the Fixed Star Procyon is aligned with our Sun today.\u00a0 This star in Canis Minor traditionally has mixed reviews (e.g. Bernadette Brady hints at sudden success followed by failure).\u00a0 The emphasis from \u201cStarlight Elixirs\u201d by Michael Smulkis and Fred Rubenfeld is on the translation of incoming light into clarity of thought: \u201cProcyon can enhance the direct transference of light into consciousness.\u00a0 Procyon will beneficially influence all capacities of thought\u201d.\u00a0 The aspect occurring on Thursday (21st<\/sup>) is in fact a minor one: that of Venus semi-sextile Mars, which is about the nuance of a minor shift in perception of male-female relations or internal male-female balancing.\u00a0 Deputy Prime Minister Nick Clegg for instance has been criticized for doing the school run, so fine-tuning about such debates may be going on.\u00a0 On Friday 22nd<\/sup> Mars conjoins the South Node at 21 degrees Gemini: There may be a harking back to past wars, including past newspaper wars (Gemini).\u00a0 Prepare for some role play with your Inner Warrior, using the opportunity to find the right role for this in modern times.\u00a0 On Saturday 23rd<\/sup> the Sun leaves the sign of Cancer and enters Leo.\u00a0 If you have been concentrating on DIY around the home lately, your focus may turn to outdoor leisure, holidays and Sun seeking.\u00a0 If you want to continue with the DIY, it may take a more creative turn, but it is a good time of year to get your dose of Vitamin D, so do consider outdoor possibilities.\u00a0 Now that I am retired I sometimes have to force myself away from the computer or daytime TV cookery programmes, by auto-suggestion that there are some enticing opportunities for photography in the garden, which hubby Mike kindly tends.\u00a0 It\u2019s always worth a stroll.<\/p>\n
