If you read my post on October 16, you understand the upcoming square between Saturn and Pluto relates to issues involving the media, among other situations and events in the world.  As these planets come within exact orb of each other, (orb-the space within which an aspect is judged to be effective.) and the energy of conflict builds, events begin to transpire long before the planetary angles become exact, the time of which is now. The conflict energy of Saturn (the planet ruling structure  restriction, and Democrats) and Pluto (rules the media) is becoming evident as the President slammed Fox News yesterday for biased coverage, and CNN and Fox clashed earlier this fall over the authenticity of coverage over the 'tea baggers' march on Washington. Today, October 19, it was announced that New York's biggest newspaper was cutting newsroom jobs, and that journalists are now being denied access to Guantanamo Prison. Additionally, if you watch national news coverage, it was reported yesterday that Democrats are meeting behind closed doors over proposed health care reform.
 
Both of these situations can prove dangerous to American's as the First Amendment guarantees freedom of speech and lack of interference from the government, and the President promised transparency in Government while running for election. Journalists are expected/obligated to provide fair and unbiased coverage. As the square between Pluto and Saturn increases between now and November 18, (as well as several more times next year), we will see these situations escalate, and it will be up to American's to respond to their elected officials to prevent our freedoms from being curbed. The First Amendment states: "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances."
 
In terms of transparency in Government a quick look at President Obama's chart indicates the following: Uranus opposes Mars-This is a transit of great disharmony, and can indicate rash impulsive action, outbursts of temper and conflicts with groups and organizations, as well as conflict over joint finances, taxes, corporate and financial affairs, as well as the desire to overthrow the existing power structure. It puts him at a disability in terms of achieving what he actually wants, and during this time events of an unexpected nature will occur. Virgo is ruled by Mercury, the planet of speech. It is also called the accidental transit.
Neptune conjunct Ascendant-A transit that can indicate idealism, rouse the idealistic nature, and can represent secrecy in personal actions.  Neptune opposing Uranus-This can intensify or create a desire for idealistic situations, but Neptune is the planet of confusion, delusion and illusion. It is in the President's 7th house of partner's and it is likely those who surround him, or those who he turns to for advise may disappoint. It means the individual may go his own way in the face of all reason. Pluto opposing Venus-Pluto rules the media, and an opposition represents struggles the individual perceives coming from other's. Venus is one of the planet's representing money and wealth. These are all considered major transits and their influence extends well into 2010.  (For further reading on the President's chart and these transits read the post titled "President Obama and the Big 3:Uranus, Neptune and Pluto."
