Karl Rove, Lunar Eclipse, Solar Eclipse and Pluto

Karl Rove was George W. Bush’s Senior advisor and Deputy Chief of Staff but his connection to the Bush family goes back to 1973 when Bush Sr., then chairman of the RNC, chose him to be the chairman of the College Republicans after a contentious and controversial convention where the College Republicans had 2 votes and 2 winners. At that time transiting Saturn opposed his natal sun and transiting Pluto was on his natal Saturn. These two planets were in their waning square phase, as they are now. Saturn is about society’s structure, organization and authority figures. Pluto’s nature brings issues of power and control, most often beneath the surface or behind the scenes. When playing on the world stage Pluto manipulates on a mass scale through propaganda and psychological warfare. This relationship between Rove and Bush, father and son, is a Plutonian one. In the May 27, 2010 issue of Rolling Stone there was an article entitled “Rove Rides Again” about Karl Rove’s involvement with various conservative 527 organizations. 527’s are tax exempt organizations that avoid regulations by the Federal Election Commission. In essence, Rove is capturing all the big money donors that normally contribute to the Republican National Committee. This is a Plutonian end run around the official front of the Republican Party. They are amassing huge funds because Barack Obama, through his collection of hundreds of millions in small donations, has changed the game. This group loves all the hoopla around the Tea Party, Sarah Palin and the like because it allows them to work quietly behind the scenes, Pluto again. What sparks may astrological interest is that this week’s Full Moon Lunar Eclipse falling at 4 degrees of Capricorn, has the moon and Pluto joined at the hip, as they oppose the sun at 4 degrees of Cancer. They sit right on Karl Rove’s natal sun at 3 degrees of Capricorn. In July, the New Moon of the 11th is a Solar Eclipse with sun and moon at 19 Cancer opposing his Mercury and Venus. His moon in Cancer, with no exact time I cannot tell where, may configure in as well. With Pluto so strong in the picture here my guess is that Karl Rove is making a major move now. Pluto on the sun is a powerful, transformative transit. Pluto sucks you in, leads you down the garden path and fills you with hubris. It is very important with Pluto transits to maintain a high spiritual purpose otherwise Pluto will bring you down. Expect news and events concerning Rove, fundraising tactics and techniques to surface now. With Uranus and Jupiter in the picture the “big news” will be big on the shock factor. This summer promises to be one that we will all remember. And keep your eye on Karl Rove.
