Then stop for awhile.

I'm studying George Bush's chart, just this morning (never done his chart before) and this is what I see:

When the 2004 election took place, he was experiencing a Saturn return in his 12th house; in fact, the conjunction was more or less exact. This astrological phenomenon symbolizes the harvest - reaping what we sow. Of course, the harvest is very dependent on the crop that is put in the field. There are a lot of other aspects, but this one is very telling. Also, a majority of planets are below the horizon. Now let's go to today. Transiting Saturn is getting closer to his ascendant. Many of the planets have moved and are now above the horizon. I interpret this: things that were hidden are going to be made public. A transit of Uranus in his 8th is indicative of a long period of suddden changes and unexpected events. This began for him in 2003 - but every time an important transit comes along, it can upset the apple cart. In 2003, Bush signed the Medicare Act and the Partial Birth Abortion Act. Since Uranus entered his eighth house, he has taken on these causes:
1. favoring the teaching of Intelligent Design alongside Evolution in science classes;
2. Taken harsher criticism for his energy policy and his rejection of Kyoto Ptotocol
3. Took a direct hit from Hurricane Katrina, which damaged not only Mississippi and Louisiana and killed more than a 1,000 people, but also exposed deception and incompetence in the Bush Administration.

His approval rating has dropped from 60 percent in January 2003, to a low of about 36 percent today.

Present conditions in his chart indicate that he will continue his free fall. I hesitate to say tragedy, as this is supposed to be a fall from a high place to a low place (LOL) but it is truly an American Tragedy of sorts. It is not Nixonian. Nixon was a higher order being, with the true flaws of a tragic hero. What is truly tragic about GWB is that he became President in the first place.

Some predictions:

April 16, 2004 - Bush's natal Uranus is square transiting Uranus (or is the other way around, LOL).
Anyway, this is what Robert Hand says about that aspect:

"This transit occurs twice during your life,once when you are in your early twenties and again when you are in your early sixties.
Each time it significies major changes in your life that require significan reorientation.
This is the "Old Age" significator transit, Hand said. "There is often a crisis associated with this transit, when you suddenly realize that you are getting old.
