GWB, the Twelfth House, and me
Does George W. really talk to God? Does understanding why I do astrology help explain why GWB goes to war?
Astrological Tenet – Sun in the Twelfth house suggests the individual will attempt to live out the unrealized dreams of the father. The urge or compulsion to fulfill this destiny comes from the very deep sub-conscious and does not refer to dreams that have been discussed on a conscious, verbal level. The individual will usually not understand where the urge is coming from.
George W. Bush
For a week or two after the election George W. Bush looked subdued and his tone changed slightly. There was some speculation that he would change course because the nation was so obviously against the status quo but, by the time of the NATO conference in Riga at the end of November, he was back in his old form, saying the same things that he was saying before the election.
Is GWB fulfilling his father’s destiny by waging war in Iraq…is he finishing what his father did not? He says over and over again that the American forces can’t leave until they ‘finish the job’ but claims that he is not doing it because of his father.
GWB has his Sun in the Twelfth house of his astrology chart. One of the things that happens with this placement is that he takes on the ‘unrealized dreams’ of the father. This does not happen on a conscious level — it happens deep in the subconscious. He is strongly led to do something and, with GWB’s belief, this is God speaking to him. God told him to do it. How could he say no?
George W. Bush: Twelfth House
Dayel Kirk: Twelfth HouseMe
My Twelfth House is remarkably similar to Bush’s. Spookily similar!
When I first heard that having the Sun in the Twelfth meant taking on the unrealized dreams of the father, I considered that was one of those exceptions that prove the rule because it sure didn’t apply to me.
All through my twenties, I felt there was something I was supposed to be doing and I couldn’t figure out what that was. I would go through a painful learning experience and I would think “Good, I’ll need to know about that later.” Since I didn’t know why I would need to know it, it drove me crazy!
When I ‘found’ astrology three years after the death of my father, I felt a huge wave of relief because I knew that this what I was supposed to do.
Why was I supposed to do it? I didn’t know. I assumed it had something to do with past lifetimes or karma or something. The ‘why’ wasn’t important to me. This was something I had to do despite personal reservations and the opposition of everyone around me .
About a year ago — twenty-five years after the death of my father– my sister found a letter that he had written to my mother before they were married and five years before I was born. In it he said that he would like to study astrology but realized that it was a lifetime’s work.
The father I knew was a chemist. When we talked about esoteric subjects, he said that he had seen very strange things with his own eyes (his mother was a spiritualist) but had consciously decided to concentrate on ‘reality’.
