Recently, his jarring cheerfulness in the face of multiple abject failures and his self-aggrandizing fantasies of being lionized by history have been seen by others as increasingly disconnected from reality. With Bush\u2019s progressed Moon square his natal Neptune from late September through October activating the peak month of the year-long solar arc progressed Ascendant conjunct Neptune, in addition to the transiting Jupiter square his natal Moon\/Jupiter conjunction in October, we can expect Bush to be flying high during the next few months on grandiose delusions to which the rest of us who live in the reality-based world are not privy.<\/p>\n<p>It is noteworthy that this comes just after a likely US expansion of military activity in the second and third weeks of September (Jupiter conjunct US Ascendant), as well as during a time when violence is likely to escalate in both Iraq and Pakistan (see below). With transiting Neptune opposing Bush\u2019s natal Venus and sesquiquadrate his natal Neptune picking up again in late December 2007 through February 2008, and again from September through mid-November 2008, future periods when the White House Wizard thinks he has turned noxious weeds into an apple orchard are likely. But the curtain will rapidly drop on his inner fairy tales as his presidency reaches its final days, due to the fading of Neptune\u2019s hallucinatory impact in his chart by late November 2008 and the growth of Saturn\u2019s painful, earth-bound lessons and disillusionment at that time.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><span style=\"font-style: italic\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.themetaarts.com\/pages\/nancysommers.html\">charts and the rest of the article here<\/a>. <\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Sorry &#8211; I couldn&#8217;t help myself!
