Dark Age of Bush related to closeness of planet Mars?

[wuushew]

MARS MANIA is on the rise along with the Red Planet, which is heading toward an unusually close pass with Earth on Aug. 27. The two planets will be about 34.65 million miles (55.75 million kilometers) away from each other — as close as they’ve been since around the year 57,617 B.C. (the precise date is still under debate). Astronomers say the next time they’ll come that close again will be on Aug. 28, 2287.

Negatively, Mars signifies power in conflict and represents force used destructively on the planet (after all, it's dubbed 'the planet of war'). In this mode, it's about survival issues and the fear of not having enough. It can bring on a need to control and exploit others or one's environment for personal gain. It can also induce an inability to trust oneself and the environment and a tendency to miss experiencing that connection between the two.

Male energy, ruled by Mars, will have no clear direction unless it's put into action to defend or attack. Alternatively, it will be struck by a paralysis of vital energy feeling drained and useless. Pisces tends to make it hard to find boundaries, so Mars energies may just drain away. Other effects may include passionate actions to defend the Earth through a new wave of groups that decide the planet's ecosphere must now be defended at any cost, lest we have the alternative of complete ecosystem breakdown. The choices will be stark to these groups.

1. Thanks, it's nice to see this here.

It's refreshing. After all, the moon controls the tides and the hormonal cycles of adult women, so in my book, absolutely anything is possible.

And it gives me hope to hear talk about "defending the earths ecosphere" as I am surrounded by fundies (my family) who are literally salivating waiting for armageddon.

2. Astrology is the oldest tinfoil...

And the only thing Bush has to do with Mars is that he wants to fish in the canals.

:dunce:

4. Well we have been running about 18 months between wars

which is the orbital cycle of mars.

Afghanistan and Iraq would have coincided if Bush had invaded in January like he wanted to.

... is not on the fundie calendar. Ergo, the supreme simian is not affected. he is, however, an insane sociopath who does what rove/cheney/delay et al tells him to do.
