First, it's a beautiful sight in the night sky (it was clear here in R.I.).
 Mars is a golden orange lined up next to the Moon.  The Moon's light is
shining on what appears to be Venus (near opposition in Aquarius).  Venus
is like the brilliant diamond (described in the solstice chart reading);
flawless in its delivery.

Raging storms in many parts of the earth - tanker about to split up and
deliver twice as much oil as the Exxon Valdez; rain and snow in the western
part of the U.S. and the East coast about to be battered by a storm this
weekend.  Troops and civvies getting shot at in Somalia, war in Europe

It's risky to say hope will get us through this one.

17/18 seems to be the numbers to work with today on transits.  To Clinton's
chart, 18 Cancer falls in his 10th house so the full moon is highlighting
career and family houses.  The closest aspect is an inconjunct to his 17
degree north node in the 9th.  I would say the fuss about Chelsea going to
private school is the prevailing issue for this transit.  What can be said
is Clinton's solar arc Moon is just weeks short of conjuncting the M.C. 
This can be an emotional consideration of goals; home issues connected with
leadership and the public, as well.  Emotional recognition.

For George, another matter entirely.  The degree point is conjunct his
Venus at 17:27 Cancer and square to his Moon at 17:52 Libra, making a dandy
Tsquare.  Here we have a relationship or money issues to deal with along
with security (Moon).  Squares to the Moon do not feel good at all.  Action
must be taken would probably be the outcome.

A recent issue of Welcome to Planet Earth has a tri-wheel of the USA using
the 7 degree Sag. chart of the USA which is the natal, 2ndary progressed
and transits. The prog. Mars is at 17 Libra, very much involved with the
full moon, and Saturn is by transit on the progressed Sun at 18 Aquarius. 
Yup, that's where we are folks.  Looking back, transit Mars stationed
opposit the USA natal Pluto at 27 Cap.  Mars is slowing right now - 10, 9,
8 Cancer; it stations on Feb 15 and will be at 27 Cancer in late April -
just in case we or they are still posturing.  


Keep in mind that Perot's moon is at 17:46 Cancer - interesting that it is
square to George's Moon.  :-)  Oh, the ironies as they unfold! The thorn in
Bush's side. No gueses as to how Perot might have acted or reacted!!!! 
Wonder if Perot is moving.  Don't forget folks with all the Moon symbolism,
the Moon represents change.  It's the fastest moving body we use for
comparison.
