Excerpt from a column by Molly Hall at astrology.about.com:

Georgian and former U.S. Congresswoman Cynthia McKinney (March 15th) truly ventured into harm’s way for a cause. How many of us are heartsick over the nightmarish images coming out of Palestine? Well, here’s a woman willing to set sail, literally put her life in danger, on a ship called Dignity, with medical supplies for the Gaza Strip. Her father, a former Georgia State Representative, Billy McKinney, told the Atlanta Journal-Constitution, She’s a determined woman…this isn’t the first civil right and human rights mission that she’s been on. She explains what happened, and what helps her overcome her fears in a video called What is Dignity? made earlier this week in NYC.

The warrior spirit in Aries has the life force, to be able to catalyze people out of the trance of fear. The Aries mind is direct, and burns away distortions, making it less susceptible to the powerful collective spell we’re under. McKinney names that trance of fear, saying, the wall of silence is crumbling. There is a very real disconnect between our values and the values that have captured Washington D.C. Her use of that word captured is a simple, but powerful insight, and intuitively it rings true. Aries love to rescue, and she’s on a mission to rescue a nation that has been overtaken by….something. We may not know how to name it, but it’s palpable, and apparent with every decision “Washington” makes.

As Americans find their voice and passion for justice again, and feminine warrior energy rises, I predict we’ll see more Aries women doing remarkable things. When the revolutionary planet Uranus moves into this sign next year (May, 2010), the sparks we’re seeing now will catch on, and before she knows it, she’s started a movement.
