Mercury at 14° of Libra conveys the Sabian symbolism “in the heat of noon, man takes a
siesta,” which calls to mind the inaction and lack of response of the president that day, which
saw him staying in the classroom in Sarasota for an additional 30 minutes after the South Tower
had been hit. He would then spend most of the rest of the day flying around in a holding pattern
in Air Force One at midday while the nation and its military that he is supposed to be
Commander-in-Chief of finds itself in disarray and turmoil due to the vacuum of leadership
displayed that day. While the president was flying around and the bin Laden family were being
spirited out of the country on a secret flight, it bears mentioning that the rest of the plebeians
were relegated to terra ferma and could not take wing if their lives depended on it.
