Guest guest Posted April 13, 2007 Report Share Posted April 13, 2007 Dear friends, A list member has written to me off list to complain about what he feels is an excessive focus on the USA on the list, especially the controversial military activities of the USA in Iraq. While I have welcomed his message and replied to him in person, I would like to bring this issue up on the list in order to make clear what is motivating the analysis and many posts. Since December 30, 2006, we have been studying the SAMVA USA chart, which appears to be a break-through in a long standing effort to find an authentic chart for the USA. We have read the chart with respect to the strengths, weaknesses and afflictions in the chart and what they mean in the historical experience of the country. We have then made predictions against this chart, as the transits in the chart are presently very difficult and also focused on the natal Sun in the chart. The focus of the discussion has therefore been on the news that have come out with respect to the predictions, including the increase of obstacles facing US President Bush. While the chart shows many strengths in the chart, there are also a number of afflictions in the chart and weak placement of Venus. Hence, the actions of the country are bound to be controversial, even if the strengths indicate success in their regard. This is just what the chart shows and there is no implicit judgement being made that the policies are right or not. Morevoer, when I have alerted list members to news showing predicted " setbacks in war fields " this is being reported as fact for the on-going evaluation of the chart. I have felt that it is important to keep track of the news in this regard. Please know that news of setbacks, including deaths and destruction, is not something that is enjoyed. It is tragic that such events take place in the real world. This is the world we live in. Moreover, when commenting about such events in passing, often with limited time, it may appear like there is not much empathy being shown. That is unfortunate but not intended. Let me assure you that I am personally horrified by such events. The effort here on SAMVA is simply to maintain the focus on the events in order to evaluate the chart. At the same time, there is a seperate feeling being expressed about the relief of finally having an authentic chart for such an important country. In my view, the importance of the USA precludes us limiting the discussion about it. What we can emphasise is that other list members are free to discuss this or any other chart of interest to them. The list is for the study of mundane charts to learn to become better mundane astrologers. All aspects of life in a country is within the range of this discussion, including military activities and other policies.

Guest guest Posted April 13, 2007 Report Share Posted April 13, 2007 Dear Thor, If one is qualifed to complain and finds the time to do so, then they should also find the time to participate, interject another topic and carry the discussion on it.
