I love to watch people thinking out loud about a chart. (And btw thank you for the courage to look at Bush's chart, it makes me ill.)

I don't have much to contribute since I am just beginning to sort out transits, and also in karmic astrology it is only the outer planet transits that are of interest. So it is the Neptune transit that we would look at.

Keep in mind that in karmic astrology, free will determines how the planetary energies will manifest in any given chart. How evolved a person is determines how the planetary vibrations and energy will be utilized. How we handle transits is a function of our own inner awareness. If we can see that the transits are lessons and a way to learn to balance energy, we can co-operate in a healthy way with the changes, and understand the purpose in the overall scheme of things. (Only Bush could screw up the energy of a Grand Trine!)

Any transit is an opportunity to work the energies of the planetary combinations, and to develop those qualities within us. If we are evolved and in touch with inner and outer energies then we can benefit greatly form the transits. If we are not attuned to these energies then we can feel buffeted by events, and at the mercy of outside forces, assuming it is "something out there' that is causing the changes.

Neptune is considered a slippery planet and under a Neptune transit one can easily slip into karmic situations. But Neptune transits can be linked to spiritual enlightenment, mystical experiences, and working out of karmic purpose. Or breakdown and disintegration. Truth vs deception.

Neptune can bring out the greatest illusions of all time, and this will not be apparent until the transit is over. Judy Hall calls this the "Pink Cloud Syndrome." It can be like walking in a fog or being hypnotized. Under the influence of Neptune people can believe that they are on a mission, often believing that God is giving them instructions, and it is very easy for them to lose touch with everyday reality.

Neptune-Chiron transits can indicate either scapegoat or redeemer karma coming up. Which seems to coincide with some of the feelings folks here on this board are having that he is being tossed off the train so to speak by others. He will perhaps be the scapegoat for the cabal’s problems right now.

The third house Chiron indicates old karma with a sibling that was damaging and wounding. And with the transit it is possible that one of his siblings is part of the Neptune transit at this time, and it may not be a positive combination. Neptune energy hitting the third house stellium also indicates the energy will affect his immediate circle. I also have a sense that Bush's alcoholism and drug use may be quite active at this time.
