Saturn in Leo: Karma, Cloaked Donations & Schwarzenegger

California governor Arnold Schwarzenegger's troublesare continually mounting as Saturn has transited form Cancer, his Ascendant sign, into Leo, his Sun sign. Things done covertly under Saturn in Cancer are being karmically brought to his doorstep under Saturn in Leo.



This time the hammer is coming down, according to the Los Angeles Times, in the form of revelations about massive donations he has taken from nonprofits that lobby for certain pieces of legislation. WHile it may not be techniclly illegal, ethically it smashes Schwarzenegger's campaign promises of craeting an open government accountable to the public. His attorneys are now sayiung he doesn't have to say anything about the several million he gets in goods, services and bills paid from these nonprofits.



From the LAT: One group controlled by a powerful corporate consultant pays the $6,000-a-month rent on a Sacramento hotel suite used by the governor, who is a multimillionaire. Others have funded media events and political rallies featuring Schwarzenegger and helped pay for his foreign travel. So far, five tax-exempt groups aiding Schwarzenegger have collected $3 million.



Former Govs. George Deukmejian, Pete Wilson and Davis benefited from a tax-exempt nonprofit that helped defray the cost of their Sacramento housing. All three lived in a home purchased by supporters of Deukmejian; the state paid the $1 annual rent. Davis' fund paid tens of thousands of dollars for repairs, maintenance, cable television and parties. Schwarzenegger's current residence fund pays for an 1,800-square-foot Hyatt Regency Hotel suite.



The pounding on the Schwarxzenegger ego is getting significant and we are only a month into the 30 months that Saturn will be teaching him some strong lessons. How will Schwarzenegger handle this latest crisis? By remaining quiet and hoping it will pass over?



Meanwhile, the special election for which he has called and which has lowered his popularity, looms ever near. Commercials informing people of his plan to "create a phenomenon of anger" against teachers, nurses and police officers play nearly everyday.



Something will give..........
