General Sherman and Regulus

During Sherman's  stupendous win at the Battle of Bull Run,  the (Transits) and (Prog) shown, he was elevated to the rank equal to General  Ulysses  S. Grant, who later became  President Grant.

Lucky for him, - Jupiter was transiting  over  and conjunct . to Regulus, and brought to this General born with Regulus opposed to his own Jupiter,   a great Rise in status.

Generals and "Regulus" a Study of the fixed star and General Sherman

Why not a General like William Tecumsah Sherman named after an Indian Chief, and fought the Indian Wars, a true General after the mould of the ancient ones thousands of years prior.
I cannot see where he suffered a fall from his Regulus place in his natal chart, but rather Transiting Jupiter rewards him by this Regulus connection. Follow along:

SUCCESSFUL GENERAL OF THE UNION ARMY, OFTEN TERMED “INSANE”
BUT HIS NUMBERS OF CASUALTIES HE FORESAW WAS ACTUALLY “LOW”:

The Luck of the King Star (ancient Persia) "Regulus " associated with the Military and Jupiter - connected for this General (Jupiter opposed Regulus),   FOLLOW THE CHART TRANSITS FOR BULL RUN shown below:



“You people of the South don't know what you are doing. This country
will be drenched in blood, and God only knows how it will end. It is all folly,
madness, a crime against civilization! You people speak so lightly of war; you
don't know what you're talking about. War is a terrible thing! You mistake,
too, the people of the North. They are a peaceable people but an earnest
people, and they will fight, too. They are not going to let this country be
destroyed without a mighty effort to save it... Besides, where are your men and
appliances of war to contend against them? The North can make a steam engine,
locomotive, or railway car; hardly a yard of cloth or pair of shoes can you
make. You are rushing into war with one of the most powerful, ingeniously
mechanical, and determined people on Earth—right at your doors. You are bound
to fail. Only in your spirit and determination are you prepared for war. In all
else you are totally unprepared, with a bad cause to start with. At first you
will make headway, but as your limited resources begin to fail, shut out from
the markets of Europe as you will be, your cause will begin to wane. If your
people will but stop and think, they must see in the end that you will surely fail.”
William TecumsahSherman born 2/8/1820 Died 2/14/1891

Rommel's use of tanks


Another World War II-era student of Liddell Hart's writings about Sherman was
George S. Patton, who "'spent a long vacation studying Sherman's campaigns on
the ground in Georgia and the Carolinas, with the aid of [LH's] book'" and
later "'carried out his [bold] plans, in super-Sherman style'".[92]

Sherman's greatest contribution to the war, the strategy of total warfare—endorsed by General Grant and President Lincoln—has been the subject of much controversy.

Sherman himself downplayed his role in conducting "total war " , often saying that he was simply carrying out orders as best he could in order to fulfill his part of Grant's master plan for
ending the war.


The Battle at Bull Run:

Sherman's first command was actually of a brigade of three-month volunteers.[37]
With that command, he was one of the few Union officers to distinguish himself
at the First Battle of Bull Run on July 21, 1861, where he was
grazed by bullets in the knee and shoulder. The disastrous Union defeat led
Sherman to question his own judgment as an officer and the capacities of his
volunteer troops. President Lincoln, however, was impressed by Sherman while
visiting the troops on July 23 and promoted him to brigadier general of volunteers
(effective May 17, 1861, with seniority in rank to
UlyssesS. Grant, his future commander).
during the Second World War.[91]

More on the firing of General McChrystal natal and REGULUS the fixed star:

Neptune was Transiting opposed to Regulus and  at 28 degrees Aquarius and conj. TR Chiron.
This means that Neptune was undermining in hit's transit the placement that conjoins Regulus, to bring about the sorrow or inner wounding that Chiron would represent to General McChrystal in his rebuke by President Obama.

Regulus is located at this time tropical position 28Leo which is opposite to 28Aquarius.

We use both conjunctions and Oppositions in Fixed Star work, transits and natal charts and in his case, certainly Chiron is quite appropriate to see for this General as he did save face by retiring from his command, just as the ancients point to.

Regulus is termed the Persian "King Star" and the fall is usually short and quick. They climb back up again after the transit or progression to reflect the temporary fall from grace.

(http://www.constellationsofwords.com/stars/Regulus.html) mentions:

Regulus was so called by Polish astronomer Copernicus (1473-1543), as a
diminutive of the earlier Rex, equivalent to the (Greek) Basiliskos (translated
"Little King") of the second-century Greek astronomer Ptolemy. This
was from the belief that it ruled the affairs of the heavens,— a belief
current, till three centuries ago, from at least 3000 years before our era.
Thus, as Sharru, the King, it marked the 15th ecliptic constellation of
Babylonia; in India it was Magha, the Mighty;............According to Ptolemy
it is of the nature of Mars and Jupiter.....It gives violence, destructiveness,
military honor of short duration,




Excerpt from: Deborah Houlding’s, “Skyscript”



According to Partridge, a chart was in circulation during Cromwell's
lifetime with Pisces rising and Mars in the 1st house - "a position". By this figure the astrologers of the day "could prove all his Sicknesses, Honours, Victories, &c." - but - "at last he died; and to the amazement of the whole Society [of astrologers]  without any Direction to kill him."
very suitable to his Grandeur and Courage, and for one that was so great aWarrior





Although our astrologers are working from different charts,
different starting points and even different methods of directing, both manage
to direct significators to eminent fixed stars - and as every 17th century
astrologer knew, "the fixed stars bestow notable gifts and raise from
poverty to happiness and high degree more than any of the seven planets"
(Bonatus consideration. 141).



But even the stars reflect political differences, apparently, for
Partridge finds Oliver rejoicing under the direction of the Part of Fortune to Regulus,
the 'Lion's Heart' while Gadbury sullenly invokes the Moon directed to Antares
- the 'Heart of the Scorpion'.

BACKGROUND INFO GEN. McCHRYSTAL:

He is also the one behind the Pat Tillman cover up in
Afghanistan. Pat Tillman was a 1st class Football hero from Arizona (see Wiki)http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stanley_A._McChrystal



Personal life:
August 14, 1954 – (resigned – June 23, 2010)

Little is publicly known of McChrystal's early life. He is the son of Mary Gardner Bright and Major General Herbert J. McChrystal, Jr.,[1] and was the fourth child in a family of  five boys and a girl, all of whom would serve or marry into the military.
His older brother, retired Colonel Scott McChrystal, was an Army Chaplain, and is the endorsing agent for the Assemblies of God. McChrystal is married and has an adult son.

He runs 7 to 8 miles a day, eats one meal, and sleeps for four hours a night. As head of what Newsweek termed "the most secretive force in the U.S. military", McChrystal maintained a very low profile until June 2006, when his forces were responsible for the death of Abu Musab al-Zarqawi, leader of Al-Qaeda in Iraq.[13] After McChrystal's team successfully located Zarqawi and called in the airstrike that killed him,
McChrystal accompanied his men to the bombed-out hut to personally identify the body.

McChrystal's Zarqawi unit, Task Force 6-26, became well-known for its interrogation methods, particularly at Camp Nama, where it was accused of abusing detainees.
After the Abu Ghraib torture and prisoner abuse scandal became public in April 2004, 34 members of the task force were disciplined.[5][16][17] McChrystal was also criticized for his role in the aftermath of the 2004 death by friendly fire of Ranger and former professional football player Pat Tillman. Within a day of Tillman's death, McChrystal was notified that Tillman was a victim of fratricide. Shortly thereafter,
McChrystal was put in charge of paperwork to award Tillman a posthumous Silver Star for valor. On April 28, 2004, six days after Tillman's death, McChrystal approved a final draft of the Silver Star recommendation and submitted it to the acting Secretary of the Army, even though the medal recommendation deliberately omitted any mention of friendly fire, included the phrase "in the line of devastating enemy fire", and was accompanied by fabricated witness statements. On April 29, McChrystal sent an urgent memo warning White House speechwriters not to quote the medal recommendation in any statements they wrote for President Bush because it "might cause public embarrassment if the circumstances of Corporal Tillman's death become public." McChrystal was one of eight officers recommended for discipline by a subsequent Pentagon investigation but the Army declined to take action against him.
