Moral Ambiguity
I do not have the stars-and-stripes flapping in the breeze this Spring evening. I don’t have my “We’re Number One” teeshirt on. I’m not giddy with jubilation about my country shooting Osama bin Laden in the face.
President Obama claims that “justice was done;” seeming to gloss over the associations the word justice has with charges, public trials, evidence and so on. Does it matter, if we flout international laws by sending killers to off people on foreign soil?

Spiritual Sound Bites
From now until 2025, the world will be treading the waters of Neptune-in-Pisces. On April 4th Neptune glided into the sign of the oceans, where Chiron had been waiting for it. That very week, Japan dumped 15,000 gallons of radioactive water into the Pacific Ocean.
Recall that a year ago last April, BP’s Deepwater Horizon rig blew up in the Gulf on the very day of Chiron’s last entry into Pisces. Thus has the theme of wounded waters announced itself as a key teaching of the Cardinal Cross period.
