Dear brother Francis aka Bubba Don,
thanks so much for this
mailing of your article. Really and truly, I love this man! To me he
represents everything great in a human being. Just watching him interact
with the people and his wonderful smile, he is indeed our last hope for
a better world. Your comparison of the two Hugos is true genius! I
immediately went to work and put your article on the web. Francis, I'm
sure you feel like me, this man uplifts my spirit and makes me feel like
going to Venezuela right now and to dance and sing with the people... If
I was in my thirties again, I would go there and work for the
Revolution! God, I'm so inspired. Just got through watching the video
"the revolution will not be televised". What a great piece of work and
inspiration! Can't help myself, I feel like I have found the "Messiah".
I have a feeling that you are doing his horoscope right now... Can't
wait to read it!
Thanks again,
Holger the terrible.
Howdy do, Brother Holger....
Of course you like Hugo Chavez as I do,
too. That's because you're an Old Gnostic Idealist, eh? And, (horror of horrors)
you are a passionate person with intense feelings which you struggle to express
and to live by. Now that particular combination is guaranteed to clear your
head, open your nostrils, and make it easy for you to wake up and "smell the
coffee" !
Hugo, standing before the assembled
leaders of the United Nations had the simple honesty and unapologetic sheer gull
(stemming from such simple honesty) to announce that he could smell the sulfur
fumes associated with our Bush Devil who had stood the day before in the very
place (UN-New York) where Hugo was standing the next day as he spoke. The stench
of Bush Rot, the air pollution, the sulfur fumes overwhelmed Brother Chavez's
nostrils and he smelled the Demon. Then he said so, and millions of us all over
the planet (but especially we Americano Gringos) felt a Great Relief ... whew!
finally somebody is voicing our feelings! Bush is the Devil (and Hugo turned his
eyes to heaven in sincere theatrical gesture) and he smells of sulfur (rotten
eggs)! Hilariously, but also as a Good Shaman, Brother Chavez then made the
"Sign of the Cross" and went on to expose the Terrorism Bush has spread all
around the Globe .... bombing Fallujah with white phosphorous, sewing Depleted
Uranium into the soil of Iraq, Afghanistan, Bosnia and on the WINDS circling the
whole EARTH. He spoke the forbidden Truth and hearts and minds everywhere
smelled and thought that truth and it was as if a Great Dam had suddenly burst
and the River of Freedom and Life was allowed to flow once more. Korporate
American Media went into instant shock generating frenetic "spin" to cover up
the Truth Hugo Chavez set loose. It was wonderful to witness.
Here we have a man of the Earth, a man
of Native Indian Stock who never fails (as he did a few days before at a Public
Gathering in England -
http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=2890538484984018160 ) to speak
of the sacredness of Earth & Soil which gives us Spirit and Life. A man standing
up to the proposed Global Korporate Government, the International Monetary Fund
and the World Bank and breaking their hold on the people of Venezuela and ALL
Nations that might join in that battle with him. Then, quite humbly at the UN he
spoke that other unspeakable truth, that Korporate Usa Bushco CIA tried to
assassinate him. He called Bush a KILLER. Simple truth, but a truth that never
passes the lips of American Media Journalists! Really, what a heavy weight of
oppression his words remove from the hearts of honest people all over the World!
He's a great gust of fresh air, a warm breeze of heart energy, an honest man.
And he knows he's a man, not some Idiot Napoleon HERO -just a simple man with
faults and shortcomings like ALL of us. You just gotta love the guy.
And you're right, Brother Holger, it's
all right there/here in his birth-chart.

I mean, just look at his Moon-Feelings
in the sign of Cancer, the Moon's very own Sign -sign that She rules sitting
with Jupiter (exalted in Cancer) on her own South Lunar Node with Mercury and
Uranus! Wow! Now that's a "FULL HOUSE" in any card game! This is the SIGNATURE
(in the Astro-Gnostic sense) of a
MAN OF FEELING. TRUE FEELING. A MAN OF THE
MASSES, THE PEOPLE. And with Mercury (the rational brain + speech) conjunct
Jupiter there in Cancer this man is a heartfelt, genuine OPTIMIST. When he opens
his mouth to speak that Jupiter force of expansive, optimistic Feeling shapes
his words, inspires his thought. He actually believes in simple, honest feeling
and goodness. And look at his Sun, he's a Leo .... very early Leo, the Aries decanate of Leo, a spontaneous Aries-Leo
LEADER. A PERFORMER. A real "Ham" ....
his speeches are always so full of theatrical effect/affect and yet it all comes
from the heart suffused with honest feeling! He's a man who loves a "good show".
They say he has a weekly call-in TV Show down in Venezuela and that he sings on
that show ham's it up for the viewers. A real man, genuine and full of the rare
energy of the "Father-Nurturer" archetype conferred by Jupiter exalted in
Cancer-Feeling. And this Father-Nurturer energy is part & parcel of his Past
Life Inherited "soul force" because Jupiter & Mercury are both conjunct the
Moon's South Node (symbol of "automatic" or "default" behaviour
carried over as good karma into the current life) ...he knows he's a Man of the
People, has an urge to fulfill the role of the
"GOOD FATHER FIGURE".
He's "got charisma" .... that impalpable but very real "something" that grabs at
the heart because it shares all that is common of good feeling with everyone
else and as an equal. Yeah, he's got a bombastic Leo flair for theatre, but it's
heartfelt and he sincerely means it, seeks to use his own love of Leo "noble
heart" energy with the general Public-Masses. The Cancer element brings all that
into a very PERSONAL
form of heartfelt, theatrical but nurturing feeling he seeks to share with
others. Such sharing exalts him, makes him feel loved & lovable. Viva Chavez!
Of course, no one yet among web
astrologers has posted the exact hour and minute of his birth, but we do know
the exact day and year (June 28, 1954) and place (Sabaneta, Venezuela) so we
have to go here with a Public Persona (Noon) Birth. This means that the
placement of every planet is accurate by degree and sign (hence aspect, too)
with only the Moon as an exception. Since the Moon never travels more than 15
degrees in a day we can rest assured Hugo is born with the Moon in Cancer but
the exact degree of Cancer cannot as yet be determined. Now, with the Sun at 5
degrees of Leo and the Moon somewhere between roughly 5 and 25 degrees of Cancer
we know that Hugo Chavez is a "Dark Of The Moon" temperament. It's a wide-open
temperament devoid of emphasis on personal ego, the temperament of a Soul blown
on the Winds of God's Breath. A SEED. A person who sews the seed of a rich and
fertile harvest from the past into the present. He's of the original Native
Bloodline of the original inhabitants ..."Indio" ... a man of the Earth, a
farmer. But a SHAMAN as well, because the Dark Of The Moon is the "witching"
time, the time of the Castenada (Don Juan) "Crack Between The Worlds" ... he's
got a direct "pipeline" to the Divine which uses him for its own ends as long as
he keeps his personal ego out of the way. He is a "Walker Between The Worlds" of
Spirit and Matter .... has direct communication with the Spirits of the
Ancestors. And this is NOT an easy role for any "Dark Of The Moon" person
because it testifies to a Life that can seek no personal ego rewards but is best
when allowing itself to be used by Spirit. Hugo Chavez, from all the video tapes
I've been able to view, the interviews with him I've been able to read, clearly
demonstrates in action this Spirit of the
WALKER BETWEEN WORLDS.
(Hey, Natural Gnostics must LOVE him!) He can REALLY speak of "demons" and
"devils" because he has access to the Dark as well as the Light aspects of the
DIVINE. Demons and Devils are as real to him as People and Corn Fields and Oil,
but he can relate -even to these demons & devils- in that heartfelt
Cancer-Personal-Feeling mode and is naturally compassionate because of that. He
could easily "accept" or even "forgive" folks like George W. Bush their evil
ways provided they genuinely struggled to surrender those ways and tried to be
REAL, FEELING, "CHILDREN OF GOD".
This, I hasten to add, does NOT mean that such people have to be Religious "God
Believers" .... because Chavez understands the
DIVINE
even when it takes the form of "atheists" or "agnostics" ... as long as any
human being HONORS
the COMMON BOND OF
FEELING-NURTURING that is SACRED TO LIFE,
Hugo Chavez will embrace that person and do so personally. Lovely man, really.
So we've got this Shaman who's a Leo
HAM
and a Leo Leader and is a public NURTURING MALE FATHER-MOTHER FIGURE. But look,
he's born with Mars in Sagittarius so he's born with the Spirit of the Truth
Seeker willing and able to FIGHT for the Truth. It's not some ABSTRACT TRUTH,
nor any RELIGIOUS DOGMA, nor any exclusive NATIONAL PHILOSOPHY but a Truth of
NATURE, he fights to defend the Truth of HONEST PERSONAL FEELING SHARED
COLLECTIVELY. That's a wonderment, don't you think? I mean, we have lots of
bozo's willing to fight for this, that, and the other philosophical-religious
Dogma but how rare to find a man able to fight for NURTURING. For LIFE itself.
Viva Chavez! Look how he "fought" to provide help for the folks in Louisiana
etc. after Katrina, how he struggles to provide cheap (if not allowed to provide
absolutely FREE oil to the poor in America -especially his fellow Native
American "INDIOS"!)
Ah yes, the Oil! Well, in this Public
Persona Chart for birth at High Noon Chavez has the sign of
OIL, SCORPIO as his
Rising Sign Ascendant. Bingo! And look how Saturn in Scorpio sits right up front
on that Ascendant. This speaks of how seriously he sees the Oil/Scorpio issues,
how aware he is of oil's consequent pragmatic Power, the Power it gives the
People of Venezuela to effect Political-Business (Saturn themes) changes. Real,
Saturn changes. Saturn in Scorpio attests to great personal depths of feeling,
to awareness of death and the darker side to feeling. My teacher, Dane Rudhyar,
was born with Saturn in Scorpio .... these folks are powerful Occultists. They
take the Scorpio theme of "in-depth sharing" very seriously so we know Hugo is
not just some cutesy, nicey-nicey clutz,
he's a man familiar with Mark Twain's
"Mysterious Stranger" .... he refers to Twain occasionally in his public talks
and interviews,
he obviously delights in Twain's wry humour and acute wit. Think
of Huckleberry Finn on the raft floating down the Mississippi River with Jim,
the Black Slave! This is Saturn in Scorpio depth of shared feeling.
Now, put this occult depth of feeling
with the shamanism of the dark of the moon temperament, add the fighter for
truth of Mars in Sagittarius and the flair of the Leo-Sun Leader with
charismatic appeal to the Moon Masses of Cancer and you see, intuit, know more
of the ESSENTIAL BEING OF HUGO CHAVEZ. Don't forget the optimistic good will and
fellow-feeling of Mercury conjunct Jupiter exalted in Cancer and you can FEEL
-as every common person can feel- the essential, basic human goodness that
radiates like a stream of clean and fresh water from the essential being of Hugo
Chavez. Healing. Nurturing. Pro-Life.
Embracing ALL LIFE IN FELLOW FEELING and
doing so with the wry sagacity of Saturn in Scorpio. The World Leaders look at
him and think ...."This Guy's just too good to be true!" Some other private
citizens think so too ... they're afraid he's up to something, something no
good! This comes from the fact that Chavez is born with the challenge of the
waning square aspect his Leo Sun is making to his Scorpio Saturn. It symbolizes
a "mandate" from his SOUL to keep foregoing Leo FAME in favor of Scorpio
sharing. Chavez always faces the temptations of "The Man Who Would Be King". He
knows that. He feels it. He just loves how so many common folks love him and he
knows how that love feeds him, gives him public power, tempts him to become a
BIG EGO ... and that is the greatest temptation to the "Dark Of The Moon"
Temperament. While honest folk everywhere all love Hugo we must, nevertheless,
keep him humble. We need to remind him he doesn't want to be "King" by actively
criticizing him whenever he starts taking the first steps in that direction. You
see, in very many ways Hugo really is a simple "Child Of God" and must hold to
that child like state. It ain't easy to do that while being a Revolutionary
Leader ... dirty deals of power are always, continuously coming your way. You
can get very "heady" with this much power. Hugo's Sun in waning/separating
square aspect to Saturn constantly warns him of these facts, informs him, urges
him to practice self-disciplined restraint while simultaneously being open,
spontaneous, and candid.
Anyway, Brother Holger, you inspired me
to write all this and I thank you and trust it is, as the famous "tease" goes
.... "TO BE CONTINUED".
