WARRIOR'S ASTROLOGY PAGE

Spacey P. Considerations
Things are heating up for the Williamsburg Warriors as the voting dates for
the Committee for Land Use and Zoning on Wednesday May 2, and the City Council,
during the week of May 11, encroach like so many roaches.
Luckily, there are lots of planetary energies to be capitalized on by the Williamsburg
Warriors on the dates leading up to the votes, for which there are many fundraising
and profile raising events planned.
Wednesday,
May 11th- Warrior Siri spent 32 waking hours, many of them by the light
of the Taurus moon, drafting and finalizing a revised letter to the 50 council
members who will vote this Wednesday, deciding the fate of the Williamsburg/Greenpoint
area as we shall come to know it.
The new letter embodies Mars the warrior cutting through some of the delitescent
bullshit that can be served up by Pisces (sorry Darling Pisceans …. You
ARE the most romantic, poetic, dreamy, compassionate twelfth of the human race,
but let’s face it, even the best Pisces intentions can be often submerged
in the cloudy waters of illusion – if you are Pisces, or if you’ve
ever tried arguing with one, the image of trying to hammer a nail in the ocean
floor may mean something to you) and needs you to take the “say it loud”
energy of the moon riding through Gemini between now and the vote to flood the
mailboxes of the council members with last minute emails. If you haven’t
already clicked on the “save Williamsburg” box SINCE May 9, stop
reading the damn horoscope & take action. Then come back & read the
remainder of my 11th hour commentary on how the planets will converge on City
Hall this Wednesday.
Ok Gemini Moon Lovers. You should have all sent your letter now, so I shall
go on to say that Uranus, the modernest of the planets, which rules Aquarius,
also rules the internet, which is another reason why we it’s more fun
than it used to be to bother city council members with missives containing our
thoughts. Once again, if you haven’t clicked to save Williamsburg –
send that letter now. Coincidentally (or is it?) Uranus will be arriving at
the very same degree of the aforementioned Pisces on Wednesday May 11 that Mars
the Warrior has been moving towards for the last week & change. Apart from
the Internet & astrology, Uranus rules the unexpected ….. this could
be a great day for longshot fanciers! Also, whereas the moon in Gemini earlier
in the week may have motivated YOU to send the letter to council, Uranus rules
mass communications and could be said to symbolize the Mars driven impact of
the collective voice of Warriors and friends of Warriors everywhere on the mailboxes
and voicemails (yes, you can call 311 to leave a message for your any council
member) of the politicians who are supposed to be serving YOU.
As always, the planets reflect the potentialities of any given moment, but anybody
reading this regardless of whether he or she has the most kickass or shitty
natal chart, can use their free will to send a clear message to the New York
City Council between now and Wednesday morning. So send the letter, cross your
fingers, say a little prayer, do a little dance and get down tonight, because
the sun in Taurus and Venus about to move into Gemini say so. d.
Monday
May 2, 1pm – Assembly on the steps of City Hall demonstrating
support for the Community Plan
Monday’s 21 degree Moon in Aquarius forms an exact quincunx with Saturn
at 21 degrees of Cancer. The Moon will be emoting over issues of freedom and
unconventionality, while the stern authority figure, Saturn, will be concerned
with presiding over the home, taking a man of the house stance. This is generally
a difficult influence, combining planets in incompatible signs. It also highlights
inequality in status, which, of course, is the keystone of the Williamsburg
Warriors’ challenge. Mercury in Aries suggests that one way to meet this
challenge is through headstrong communication. Demonstrators from every neighborhood
will send a clear message to Council – carry a placard representing your
neighborhood in support of Williamsburg’s Community Plan. And use the
expansive energy of Jupiter in justice seeking Libra to bring your whole posse.
Don’t forget, the sun is still in food loving sexy Taurus, so after the
meeting it would make sense to have lunch in Chinatown and spend the rest of
the afternoon taking a siesta with a friend.
Saturday
April 30 – Norman Siegel Press Conference, Paul Revere Horse
Rider
As luck would have it, given the stormy weather alert for the 23rd, the Norman
Siegel/Paul Revere press event has been postponed and will now take place on
Saturday April 30. I consider it a further lucky omen that this revised schedule
gave me time to go back and correct the spelling of Norman’s surname.
The planetary play to be expected for the new date includes fiery “I know
what I want and I’ll find a way to get it” Mars’s arrival
in dreamy, idealistic Pisces. The Aquarius moon is perfect for rousing rebellious
emotions and I’m sure the sight of Paul Revere galloping freely around
Williamsburg on horseback will stir the hearts of many a revolutionary.
Friday
April 29 – Hundreds of community phonecalls to the City Council
protesting the proposed HEIGHT AND BULK for the development of Williamsburg!
This is an important day to look at what Mercury, the Messenger is doing. On
Friday Mercury is placed at the 11th degree of Aries, the cardinal fire sign.
This is a strong combination, because fiery Aries imparts aggressiveness and
brilliance to the intelligence of Mercury. The Williamsburg Warriors’
and friends' phonecalls to the City is sure to make an impact. Mercury is not
strongly aspected by any other planet on that day, which brings to mind the
vision of a wide, straight, open road on which to travel, unimpeded. Meanwhile,
Taurus’s ruler Venus continues to enjoy her birthday month, making us
on a more personal level want to blow money outta sight and end the day with
super romantic sex.
Thursday
April 28 – Williamsburg Warriors Benefit Concert at Exit in Greenpoint,
featuring TV on the Radio, Apollo Heights, Dragons of Zynth and Tha Pumpsta.
Responsible behavior and hard work are rewarded on Thursday as the moon arrives
in Capricorn, forming a harmonious trine with the Sun in fellow earth sign Taurus.
Venus in Aries is the perfect placement for unbridled pleasureseeking and love
at first sight, so join the Williamsburg Warriors at what promises to be the
gala social event of the transit and have your Venus get down to fantastic live
music while your Moon is conscientiously climbing Capricorn mountain goat style
towards the desired outcome. On that tip, you’ll be asked to sign a postcard
which will be hand delivered to Council the next week by the Williamsburg Warriors.
Then you’ll be free to dance your ass off.
Wednesday
April 27
Members of The Committee for Land Use & Zoning will be deliberating about
their votes to be cast May 2. With the Moon in Saggitarius and Mercury opposing
Jupiter, expansiveness, luck and philosophy are highlighted. Mercury is the
planet which rules communication and the opposition with extravagant Jupiter
makes for lengthy and wide reaching discussion. The flavor of the discussions
should be lively as Mercury is placed in impatient, leap before you look Aries
opposite Jupiter in weigh everything carefully Libra. This could suggest a fairly
even divide in the voters; hopefully Libra’s scales will tip in favor
of saving the community. I know of one Warrior who will be blowing out some
birthday candles and making a wish on the EVE of this day of deliberation, so
hopefully the Saggitarian/Jupiter luck will be coming her way.
Saturday April 23– Norman Siegel Press Conference, Paul
Revere Horse Rider
The Sun in patient, persistent Taurus will be shining down on Norman Siegle
and Capricorn Paul Revere* as they join forces this Saturday at Grand Street
Park for a press conference at Grand Street Park which will be followed by an
earthy, pleasurable picnic, perfect for the Venus transit of Taurus, and a parade
down Bedford Avenue, encouraging Williamsburgers to reclaim their waterfront
and per capita parkland space – I heard under the City’s proposed
zoning regime it’ll be cut to the size of a bathtub per person. How are
you going to walk the dog, swing the kids or go jogging, let alone ride your
horse in a bathtub sized park? Picnics would also be reduced to seventh house
1 on 1 affairs.
*I couldn’t find out Norman’s star sign on his website http://www.norman2005.com,
but I did learn more than interesting thing or two about him there.
CANCELLED
Sunday April 24 – Giant Block Party
Full Moon with Lunar Eclipse in Scorpio sets the flavor for this classic event
which will typify the character of Williamsburg that everyone has come to love
& expect – Hungry March Band, Free food, Treasure hunts, Pirate Radio,
Guerrilla gardening, Kite flying, Art making, Fun, and Festivities. While the
Sun in Taurus still accentuates possession and earth (join the Williamsburg
Warriors in planting flowers by the waterfront as a symbolic act of reclamation),
the Lunar Eclipse in Scorpio will ignite underlying energies of passion and
combativeness. Some of you could expect to get laid after a nice afternoon of
community activity in the sun, while others could find yourselves involved in
a passionate debate. Full moons in general often signify the culmination and
fruition of long term efforts and an inability to sleep, which will be fine
if you’re one of the people getting laid; if not, you may lay awake in
bed with your mind racing passionately about the potential plight of the very
neighborhood where you spent the day having so much fun at the block party.
