Kelleher is a Vedic astrologer and went to great lengths to rectify it.

Hi Cynthia,

 

Luckily we don't have to guess what this transit means. All we have to do

is check history. I expect that you are looking at the Tropical chart

rather than the sidereal Vedic chart. The tropical and sidereal transits

will hit at different times because of precession. This particular sidereal

transit in 1993 correlated with the U.S. invasion of Iraq in March. There

was a lot of unrest throughout the country and many demonstrations against

the invasion. The Tropical transit happened earlier in the year. By the

time of the invasion of Iraq, Uranus had gone into Pisces.

 

The Moon rules the 8th Vedic house (maybe the Tropical 8th as well?). The

8th has to do with troubles, conflicts and possible loss of life. Transits

to the Moon will also bring the effects of Rahu (Moon's north node) in the

8th because the Moon is in Rahu's lunar mansion. The Moon disposites Rahu

and Mercury in the 8th, Mercury being lord of 7th and 10th. So we have

unpleasant and troublesome activities that will put the U.S. in the public

eye.

 

Now we can verify the effects of Uranus transiting the Moon by going back

to the two other times this happened in the U.S. chart. 1919 marked the

period toward the end of the First world war and U.S. involvement. The war

ended near that time. Also in January of 1920 the ammendment prohibiting

the use and manufacture of alcohol went into effect. You can bet there was

a fair amount of civil unrest at that time! The earlier Uranus transit in

1835 marked the battle at the Alamo.

 

So this transit to the Moon marks civil unrest and warfare with potential

loss of life. It would be interesting to check the transits to the Moon by

other planets.

No, instead **WE** were the invaders of Iraq.

 

I've never used the USA Gemini chart, but I know that it's a favorite among

Tropical astrologers.

 

Sincerely,
