The National Security Agency Unveiled

Last Thursday the New York Times revealed that President Bush signed a secret order allowing the National Security Agency to spy on U.S. citizens. The story sparked an immediate outcry from civil liberty advocates, and also had the effect of tabling the Patriot Act, which had already been teetering between national security needs and personal privacy rights.

On October 24, 1952 President Harry Truman issued an executive order creating the National Security Agency (time unknown, set for noon; Washington D.C.). This horoscope features the Sun in secretive Scorpio unaspected to any other planet. It's as if this agency exists in a vacuum, so secret that even the executive order itself was top secret. Naturally, Mercury, the communications planet, has the most aspects.

Mercury is also in Scorpio, and placed in the Tenth House, where it defines the agency's business as being secret information. Mercury is given a technological boost by a favorable trine to Uranus, and an insatiable, obsessive appetite for the deepest, darkest secrets by the square to Pluto. Mercury's opposition to Jupiter in Taurus gives the NSA one of the largest budgets in the government, putting it on a par with the wealthiest Top 500 Fortune companies.

1. Huh. Interesting. But while everyone here knows I'm no skeptic...

I think that where NSA is concerned, it might be best to consider facts other than the astrological ones. James Bamford's Body of Secrets, an excellent history of the NSA, is a great place to start. The book enlightened me to a lot of things, like the fact that--current developments aside--NSA might be one of the last honest and effective intelligence gathering groups we have. And as for the OP's claim that it has some kind of monstrous budget--it was actually subjected to a number of heinous Republican-sponsored budget cuts in the late nineties, which some feel crippled its ability to do anything to prevent 9/11. Astrology is great, but so is investigative journalism.
