Wobbling Into The New Year The Law of
Impermanence…everything is changing
"Someday when Astrology has major funding, the latitude and longitude of every city in the world can be fed into a computer and correlated with Moon Wobble cycles to pinpoint the location and nature of coming disasters." ~Signe Quinn Taff Mercury stationed retrograde on November 30, 2004 – and stationed direct on December 20, 2004. Mercury will come out of its retrograde shadow on February 14, 2004. Mercury’s shadow is caused by its’ orbit behind the Sun and will only catch up with the Sun on February 14, 2004. Even though Mercury goes direct on December 20, 2004, the period between December 20, 2004 and February 14, 2004 is a kind of ‘clean up’ phase, as many of the ‘issues’ dealt with during the retrograde often take that long to be corrected and for energies to flow freely again. This is an indicator of when things get back on track. Due to the retrogrades of the Moon’s nodes, another Moon Wobble began December 20, 2004 through February 8, 2005. The peak of the Moon/Solar Wobble will be January 16, 2005 when the Sun squares the lunar nodes. Due to recent earth changes, I feel the need to reprint excerpts from my Moon Wobble article which is posted in its entirety on my website, (see Moon Wobble for further elucidation), being that the earthquake/tsunami happened 6 days into the Moon Wobble over a Full Moon which is always one of the points of greatest tension on the earth. I look forward to the day, when scientists will be able to track moon wobbles and potential disasters based on latitude and longitude and therefore will be able to alert those either living or traveling to potentially affected regions. A Moon Wobble occurs every 86.5 days when the Sun is conjunct or square the Lunar Nodes and are about 3 weeks in duration. They usually begin 2 weeks before and last 1 week after the exact event (Sun conjunct or square the Nodes in the heavens), however it can extend out longer if coupled with a Solar Wobble which all of them are recently, due to the Sun’s solar flare cycle. We have almost 4 Moon Wobbles a year, but it takes 19.5 years for a Moon Wobble to be repeated again in the same sign and configuration with the Lunar Nodes. The signs they are in will differentiate the types of events and energies that occur. Moon Wobbles release suppressed energies in people and in nature. The extent to which the energy has been suppressed is equal to how forcefully it comes out. Everyone is affected by Moon Wobbles, however, on a personal level, if your chart is triggered by a Moon Wobble it indicates you are going through major changes. Remember, all cycles ultimately serve our growth if we will work with the cycle instead of against it. Moon Wobble energy magnifies any existing problems already there, exacerbating them so the issues can be faced and dealt with. If you deal with your Moon Wobble situation constructively, then it becomes a blessing. Get your chart checked to see if you personally are going to be triggered by a particular Moon Wobble so you can plan accordingly. www.celestialliaisons.com During Moon Wobbles, time and space seem to become unhinged. Moon Wobbles are unsettling times of sudden upsets, because the instability factor is high resulting in increased accidents, violence, and a greater incidence of earth activity. For example, floods, feats of nature, bizarre weather patterns, earthquakes, tornadoes, volcanic eruption, fires, as well as freak accidents, explosions, plane crashes, boat, train or car accidents, violence, riots, mass murders, and political and personal upheavals. Some Moon Wobbles are far worse than others; at the least it can be somewhat crazy. Usually people die [sometimes in great numbers] through dramatic releases of energy. Animals too, are affected by this phenomenon, they may behave strangely and some may choose to check out during this time. Nevertheless, that old "Murphy's Law" seems to apply to this Time & Space funk called "Moon Wobbles."
Pisces is a water sign that rules the oceans, the changing tides of karma, the sign of suffering, sorrow and sacrifice. Pisces is also the sign of the conman, fraud and deception as is its ruler Neptune. This also means that there will be those who will prey upon the dovetails of this disaster by setting up false non-profit organizations and keeping the money that they collect for themselves. This is one of the collective lessons of Neptune in Aquarius (deceptive groups). Beware of giving to organizations because you like the sound of their name or even if they purport to be affiliated with your chosen religious community. Some are legit and some are not, and others, well, simply spend almost half or more of what they collect on their marketing. I recently saw an investigative report into about a dozen non-profit charitable organizations, all were rated based on how much money actually went towards relief and restoration, the American Red Cross was at the top of the list. I was shocked to learn that World Vision and several of the top Children’s Aid and Christian Organizations used more than 50% of each dollar on marketing and advertising.
Ten years ago, the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea received the 60 ratification signatures required and became international law. For a number of reasons, the United States chose neither to sign nor to ratify the world's most comprehensive international treaty which is written to protect Ocean Life, Coral Reefs and the unnecessary polluting of the world’s oceans. Now, the United States – currently the world's greatest maritime power – finds itself in the unenviable position of being an outsider looking in at the most comprehensive maritime treaty ever written, unable to participate in the international governing councils that implement this treaty. I’m sure many of you heard of Masaru Emoto’s research and book "The Hidden Messages in Water" ? He has shown that water molecules respond to thoughts, emotion and vibration. Positive emotions create clear and ‘happy’ water, and negative emotions create dark and angry water. While this may sound trite to many, his scientific research establishes that water molecules are sentient and responds to energy. We are made up of 80% water. Our planet is made up of 75% water. Without water we would all die. Water is our lifeblood and after 2004’s slew of Uranus in Pisces hurricanes and tsunamis, the earth is not just speaking to us, she is shouting!
"We do not inherit the earth from our parents, we borrow it from our children." Saint Exupéry. It is time to pay attention to our only resource in our 3D lives, our planet earth. While it may be true, that the earth will replenish itself over time, it might however, in the process shake us off like a dog does to fleas if we are not careful. The ‘Awakening’ that has long been talked about, can not be complete without the reconciliation to our home planet. There is a kind of ‘prime directive’ law in our galactic neighborhood, that goes roughly like this, "no alien or extra-terrestrial group can interfere in the free will of the people of this planet, EXCEPT if the people of this planet are deliberately destroying, abusing and ignoring the planet’s resources, then it’s up for grabs." This planet, if it hasn’t happened already, can easily be taken over by alien/Et forces because we have failed to be good stewards of its resources. Do you think I’m kidding? In looking at the chart of the time of the earthquake for Indonesian, I’m not surprised that that the moon was getting full (only 7 degrees away from culmination), and that it was a moon wobble square to the nodes, and that the moon was void of course at the time of the quake. However, I do find it highly coincidental that the degree of the moon was exactly the same as it was on the morning of September 11, 2001 in NYC – which was 28 degrees of Gemini, also void of course and during a moon wobble square to the nodes. 28 degrees of Gemini is the fixed star Menkalinan situated in the constellation Auriga. To the ancients, it has been known to cause ruin, disgrace and violent death.
Human nature does indeed have to contend with its dark side. We are at the end of the Piscean Age. It is a time for all the crap to come to light. Nobody is going to ‘ascend’ or ‘evolve’ out of here without integrating their own dark sides. It’s not about separating from our shadow and perhaps ‘serpentine selves’, it’s accepting it, correcting and healing it. Denial is what causes all sorts of misplaced projections, resulting in psychodramas and traumas. "When you understand yourselves, you will be understood. And you will realize that you are sons (and daughters) of the living God. If you do not know yourselves, then you exist in poverty and you are that poverty….the seeker should not stop until he finds. When he does find, he will be disturbed. After having been disturbed, he will be astonished. Then he will reign over everything." Jesus, The Gospel of Thomas. In Banda Aceh, and many parts of Indonesia trading children for sexual and ritual abuse has become a common place racket. Even now, there are those that are preying on the orphans and victims of the tsunami by abducting them for sexual practices. Banda Aceh, Indonesia was the epicenter of the earthquake which sustained some of the worst devastation. People on Earth have got their priorities screwed up. The earth and her creatures, women and children should be honored first. Children should be protected not used as pawns and weapons in war nor for the purpose of sexual gratification. Besides Indonesia’s ring of trading children for sexual rites and pornography, Thailand has become the world’s ‘hub’ for child prostitution, 11-13 year old girls are traded and used for prostitution, and some of their biggest customers are westerners. Perhaps this horrific event happened to bring attention and illuminate some dark corners at this point of the planet. The symbolism of the underwater wave, whipping up everything from the depths and throwing it up to the surface is a metaphor from the earth trying to tell us something about what’s going on there. Usually, when something really shocking and disturbing happens, such as 9/11 or other catastrophic events, there is a much darker side to the trauma than what immediately meets the eye.
Speaking of sexual deviations…we are still in the 6 month period from the Full Moon Lunar Eclipse in Scorpio (sign of secrets, power and sexuality) from May of 2004. Literally right over that full moon came to light the shocking events of the Abu Graib Prison Sexual Scandal, which we have yet to see the last of. Scenes so shocking, people wanted to close their eyes and look the other way in the embarrassment and shame brought upon the United States of America. But, look again, we have since learned, this was and is not an isolated incident and there will be more stories of its kind to surface. It is so time for people of this planet to reconcile their shadows. Deal with their denials, repressions and heal the shame. It is crucial if we as a group soul want to advance, evolve, and ascend. "Everything is revealed beneath heaven. That which is hidden from you will be revealed to you. Nothing hidden will fail to be displayed." Jesus, The Gospel of Thomas This is the Uranus/Neptune mutual reception, bringing up deceptions in shocking ways. How many people around the world thought in response to recent earth changes, that it was some kind of judgment, punishment, even karma? In fact, during the lifetime of Mahatma Gandhi, he was attacked for saying in response to a rather large and devastating earthquake in India which took 30,000 lives, that they were paying for karma from past lives. Perhaps, our human psyche needs a ‘reason’ to explain why and how come so many thousands of people could just all die together, just like that, thousands being children who haven’t had time in this life to even incur any karma. While the understanding of past lives, does explain the many mysteries, loopholes and apparent injustices that occur in the present life, I feel there is something much more deeper than just paying for past karma or even ‘tikune’ (correction) as the Kabbalah talks about. If the world wakes up to what’s been going on there, then all those souls who passed over, left with us an important legacy to consider. Dying is not the worst thing that can happen to a soul. One thing is for sure, those thousands of children who perished in the quake and the tsunami will not have to face being raped and used as sex slaves again. In fact many believe death is liberation, being transported to another dimension, returning to one’s true state. Buddhism says that with life comes suffering. Perhaps the ones who died, are the lucky ones? Perhaps their subconscious agreement to participate in this catastrophe was their gift to the rest of us to wake up our compassion to one another.  The Kabbalists notion of the purpose of humanity is what they call ‘Tikune’, which means healing and correction. We are here to be the ‘Tikune’ of the world. Many need to shift their question from ‘where is God in the midst of disasters’ to ‘where is humanity?’ I recently heard a report that in the past 20 years, 40,000 children die every day due to diseases and malnutrition which could all be prevented by ‘Humanity’s Intervention’. People are waiting for ‘divine intervention’, we are it! The Divine wants to move through us, we just need to be willing. Perhaps this disaster serves as a wake up call to the rest of the world of the importance of the global community and just as there were hundreds and thousands of tourists soaking up the sun in paradise along the beaches of Thailand and Sri Lanka, there is no color, no religion, and no culture that a wave like this targets. There are only two things at play here, our humanity and our relationship to our planet. Nobody knows what each individual soul’s karmic journey was that brought their transition through this recent tsunami. This was an international disaster, there were people there from nations all over the world that left the earth plane through this wave, just like 9/11. In my humble opinion, this has less to do with nationality and religious leaning, than it does to humanity and its relationship with the Earth. Every time something of this magnitude happens, everyone is woken up on so many levels. Yes, 9/11 was a wake up call, but did people really wake up to its message? Or did it send the whole world into more fear and phobia? Is fear the way to respond to fear and terror? Or is courage? Bravery? Compassion? Yes, its wonderful, that following the tsunami disaster came a wave of compassion and generosity and an a genuine outpouring of care, empathy and sympathy on humanitarian levels, just like after 9/11. Thank Heavens for the triumph of the human spirit! Let’s not stop there! However, what about the big message? O.K., there has been much talk about a better warning system, scientists are not at all surprised of the stresses of the earth’s fault lines and its ensuing consequences. But what about the big picture here? Are we getting it? The unity that was experienced in the world after 9/11 was the miracle…however, that did wane when the US decided to conquer Iraq. It’s been all downhill from there. Those good feelings are back now, but how long will it last? Do we need catastrophes to bring us all together? If so, maybe collectively we can stop the wars? I know, too idealistic. But hey, where would we be without our ideals. Or without hope. Anything is possible. We need to ‘ground’ the feeling of good will that the Christmas Tsunami produced and keep it going. In any event, any way, you perceive it, humanity is at a crossroads of change. We are approaching the grand Winter Solstice Eclipse of the Galactic Center on December 21, 2012, which the Mayans saw as the end of their calendar. Interesting that the Mayans looked upon death as life and life as death. They saw Black holes as portals to another world. Time was measured in between galactic objects, such as black holes. They were looked upon as ‘crossroads’ in the journey of the soul. Interesting that so much death has happened recently via water, and life begins in water. It feels more like a completion of a cycle than a punishment. Astrology is the language of the Cosmos, some even say it’s one of the many ‘languages of God’. Understanding cycles guides us towards our goal of evolution. During the mutual reception of Uranus and Neptune, the next logical step in humanity’s evolution is to bridge, the Bicameral Mind back together. To understand that essential marriage of right and left brain thinking at the same time within the same body! Yep, we got to a point in our evolution where we can walk and chew gum at the same time ;-), how about understanding physics and intuition at the same time? The understanding of the connection between science and spirit at the same time? It is the crowning of the Aquarian Age. But its not just about marrying scientists and the intuitives, it’s about the scientists letting go of their need for empirical evidence alone, as well as the intuitives letting go of their habits of superstition. When both sides open up their minds and let go of their limiting fears, they will ‘see’ the other side more clearly and find the bridges that exist between them. The bridges are already there, but they are hidden due to fears. Earth science is not complete without the understanding of the effects of human emotion and its consequential vibrations upon the living sentient being we call Earth. Instead of throwing guilt trips out there, why not choose to see and understand the connection between what we do to this planet and how it responds to us. If Masaru Emoto can prove that emotions affect water molecules, surely on a micro/macrocosmic level, we affect earth changes and even solar system changes. The Sun has been in an a very consistent cycle of solar flares recently, how much of that has to do with us? The Awakening is about understanding our connection not only to each other, but to our global, cosmic and galactic neighborhood. We are affected by the luminaries, and the luminaries are affected by us. The universe is like a grand symphony of cords, when you pluck a guitar string, it vibrates, there is nothing we can or can not do that does not create some kind of cause and effect ‘out there’. Knowing this, really understanding this, is not only humbling, but empowering at the same time. It is time to claim our power back. It is time to understand and re-member who we are, why we are here and how we can use our power to create wisely.
It’s been proven in many circles and experiments the effect of prayer and group meditation on the collective and even on the planet. For example, people (scientists and prophets alike) were predicting from the 1970s that California would end up in the ocean and turn into islands through a massive earthquake. Since that time, several groups of aware souls meditated on that part of the earth, did energy work, evolved their consciousness and so far California is still there. There were several predictions for the 1980s, 1990s and even into the millennium. The point is, their consciousness changed the course of events for the time being. Whether they can hold the energy or not there, remains to be seen, but the effects of consciousness is clearly seen. We are learning that it is not necessarily the ‘cause and effect’ that consciousness has upon nature, but our consciousness is indivisible with nature. We can change the way nature behaves by changing ourselves. It’s that simple. "As I heal myself, I heal (help) the planet" When we heal the rift in our collective souls, we heal the rift in nature’s mind. The earth is conscious. Critical mass plays a huge role in the way nature behaves. I propose that on every new moon and full moon, we engage in mindful meditation and prayer for our evolving consciousness and for our planet. The ancients always planned their ceremonies on new moons and full moons, you needn’t wait for some email to come down the pike that dictates a group meditation is happening at such and such a time, just follow the cycles of nature, and you will not only unite with her but help her to heal as she in turns heals you back.
Every human being is created to channel spiritual energy. It is within the free will choices of each vessel to decide whether or not that energy will be creative or destructive. The Tsunami is an opportunity to create a new humanity through empathy and compassion by letting go of ethnocentricities, racisms, wars and religious differences. This is why such a diverse group of people were involved. The opportunity to focus on the microcosm which is our self, our relationship with others, and our responsibility to our community, by practicing random acts of kindness as we journey along in the midst of the madness, as we lovingly guard our environment. Then we will create tiny drops of water that over time make up an ocean into a tidal wave of goodness. We live on a planet where such extremes in human behavior take place every day. Many talk of ‘unity’. Can we experience unity with the people of North Korea? The humans there are channeling energy that is so destructive and cruel. The reports I’ve seen of what humans are doing to other humans is in the realm of the unthinkable. The kind of torture that goes on in North Korea is beyond many of our comprehension and even wildest imaginations. They are inhumane. They are alien. Yet they co-exist with us on the same shared planet that each and everyone of us travel on day after day around the sun. However, when I tune into resonance vibrationally speaking, America psyche is obsessed with gratuitous violence, through film, Nintendos, wrestling, and violent competitive sports. Come to think of it, its for more acceptable to watch the blood & guts of humans murdering humans on TV than to god forbid see a woman’s breast, so, in a nutshell, there’s our unity vibrationally speaking, with N. Korea. America is hated by not only Muslim extremists, but North Korea is brainwashed into hating us. Children are brainwashed in schools that America and George Bush are the enemy. After hearing GWB stupidly say that North Korea is part of the ‘axis of evil’, whether or not it may be true, these people are deeply insulted and just needed someone to provoke them and justify their nuclear arms buildup. They have since voice revenge upon the United States. While the Bush administration is now getting ready to ask Congress for an additional 80 billion dollars for the Iraqi war, the situation in North Korea continues to pose a far greater threat. The purpose of prophesy is to prepare for it, and even have the opportunity to change it. While the stars impel, they do not necessarily compel. The will of the consciousness and the relations of the earth will be a deciding factor. Knowing this is on the horizon, wouldn’t it be more fruitful to spend more time and money on diplomatic efforts with North Korea? The potential for a nuclear cat and mouse game exists between now and 2011, after which, when Uranus enters Aries, the unexpected will come through fire. It would be wise for US diplomacy to be more focused on N. Korea now. Aries is an aggressive and competitive sign. When Uranus will be in Aries it will also square off to Pluto in Capricorn in the year 2012, we will probably witness a showdown of power like we’ve never seen it before. The United States will be having its first Pluto return, as the last time Pluto traveled through Capricorn was during the American Revolution and its ensuing inception of the United States of America. What new governmental revolutions will arise, and with its square to Uranus in Aries, it produces a tension that has the potential for sudden, nuclear holocaust that will inevitably transform the world. Astrologically speaking, Jupiter in Libra (till October of 2005) has been known to influence transitions in government. Iraq will have its civil war. There is nothing anyone can do to stop that from happening. Whether America stays there or not, it is inevitable. This is a war that America can not win. They need to work that out for themselves, just as every other country in history that has emerged out of tyrannical power, and has found its way through civil war. In the case of the Middle East, particularly now in Iraq, has become a struggle of egos. Each group is imprisoned in primeval uncertainty and conflicts that date back thousands of years and they can’t find their way out. Regrettably, we cannot solve their problems because their problems are what will guide them toward their own resolutions, in their own time. In our military intrusions, we have simply aggravated the tension that has prevailed there for countless generations and reduced their ability to learn their own lessons and move forward. The problems in Iraq will not cease until Iraq is allowed to play out its own destiny, achieve its own peace in their own way. Indonesia, who were in the midst of a civil war, was devastated and humbled by this wave, for awhile there, their war became somewhat thwarted…I thought what about Iraq? There are over 155,000 people dead and still counting from this catastrophe, and while thousands are suffering, there are still bombs going off in Iraq. Doesn’t war ever take a break? Does anyone out there know of a day in our history where peace reigned for a day all around the globe? What would happen if Iraq was involved in this wave/quake? That sure would be a damper on the insurgency and the war efforts now wouldn’t it? After all, it wasn’t that long ago, exactly one year to the day, December 26, 2003 that their neighbor’s Iran suffered a horrible earthquake in Bam, which killed 30,000 Iranians. Iraq is not that far away! That region is not immune to the earth’s movements. What is worse than the forces of nature are man’s inhumanity to man. This is an opportunity to go beyond religious differences (Pluto in Sagittarius), but the question is, will we recognize this opportunity? Some will, and those still stuck won’t. With the present Uranus/Neptune mutual reception in Pisces and Aquarius, we have to be mindful of the things we take for granted. That’s the power of Uranus, which is its element of surprise. You never know exactly when it’s coming, although watching moon wobble cycles and hard aspects to Uranus would certainly alert us to potential disaster cycles. Unfortunately, we have collectively elected a President that has a great gift for provoking the hatred of others. The rest of us who did not support his re-election, needs to work even more diligently on holding the polarity energy of kindness, peacemaking and diplomacy. All things pass, it is the law of impermanence. "A nation that continues year after year to spend more money on military defense than on programs of social uplift is approaching spiritual death. Our only hope today lies in our ability to recapture the revolutionary spirit and go out into a sometimes hostile world declaring eternal hostility to poverty, racism and militarisms ... We must move past indecision to action. We must find new ways to speak for peace and justice throughout the world. If we do not act, we shall surely be dragged down the long dark and shameful corridors of time reserved for those who possess power without compassion, might without morality, and strength without sight. Now let us rededicate ourselves to the long and bitter -- but beautiful -- struggle for a new world. This is the calling of the sons and daughters of God." - Martin Luther King I think we are in for a lot of trouble this year: The transit of Uranus in Pisces square the USA Uranus at 9 Gemini is problematic to say the least. The 9th degree of Gemini has been particularly sensitive and violent especially when it aspects the outer planets to the USA chart. The Civil War started in April 1861 with transit Uranus (and Mars) at 9 degrees of Gemini. In 1941, when Saturn and Uranus both transited 9 degrees of Gemini our country became fully involved in World War II . For the following three years, until the end of the war either Saturn or Uranus were either conjunct the USA Uranus on and off (due to the retrograde) at 9 degrees. Astrologically the possibility is there that our President may even end up being impeached or have an attempt on his life. While I certainly do not wish the latter upon him, there was already one foiled assassination plot by the Columbians after the Election. I also do not want to see this President become a martyr for his cause, but unfortunately that potential exists. While being reelected under his Saturn return, it indicates that he was forced to stay by the ‘powers that be’ because of his karma, (Iraqi War) only he can clean up his own mess and take responsibility for it. Unfortunately, the rest of us have to stand by while this soul works out his personal karma at the expense of our democracy and the Iraqi people. When Saturn enters Leo this July, it will move over his Ascendant and conjunct his Mercury and Pluto. Saturn to Pluto is never easy, even in the most evolved souls, it represents death and the letting go of old structures, usually in most people of age, they experience the death of one or both of their parents. Losing his father would be a huge blow to him, as everything he’s done has been for his father. GWB has Neptune squaring his Sun, which means he perceives his father as a kind of Guru. Besides that, while sparing his own life, being surrounded by so much death, (both personally and nationally) might be the way he experiences the conjunction. In 2005, GWB’s progressed Sun is conjunct his natal mars at 9 degrees Virgo. When Uranus is 9 degrees of Pisces in September of 2005, both will be opposed by Uranus. This can be very violent and chaotic, and if that’s not enough "Martian energy", GWB’s progressed Mars is conjunct his natal Moon throughout 2005, aggressive behavior coming from him and to him. Combine that with the Saturn transit across the natal ascendant on September 12, 2005, along with GWB’s progressed Venus/Jupiter square natal Saturn, shows that GWB is going to go through a rough time as inevitably the country will as well. GWB has Pluto rising in Leo in his chart. This makes him ‘Plutonian.’ Pluto (aka Hades in Greek) is the planet of transformation, death, and rebirth. People with Pluto rising, are receptors and transmuters of negative energy. They have the potential to become great healers. It’s like you can say or do anything to them, and they act unaffected. They ‘take on’ and become the receptacle of negative emotions, their job is to transmute them. However, unhealed Plutonians are involved in the guilt, blame and shame game. They find their power by blaming and judging others, they are either projecting guilt or embodying guilt. Those who embody guilt punish themselves and those around them. The shame they feel is too great for them to bear, so they repress it, and often act out or withdraw in destructive ways. Many who repress their shadows side, unconsciously project it out to others by creating the psychodramas they need to work out their shadow. In many respects, GWB represents America’s collective shadow. Many ‘unconsciously’ re-elected him as they work out their greed, fear of change, lust for war, and control issues, while they undeniably believe he represents their best interest at heart. Just as this President represents the extreme Christian right wing, they continue to maintain a belief system, that fails to take personal responsibility for their actions by either ‘blaming’ (Pluto) all the negative things in the world on a being they call Satan (or the ‘axis of evil’), and praising Jesus when good things happen. The very essence of their belief system disassociates themselves from their own spirits. It is so interesting to me, that Michael Moore, the famed film maker of Fahrenheit 9/11, (winner of the People’s Choice Award for best film of the year) also has Pluto in Leo rising and as a result has a penchant for exposing the dark secrets of those in power. Moore has the strength of a Plutonian, as in spite of his immense popularity, he has also attracted equal amounts of insults and scorn, but he remains unaffected by them. His largeness is likened to a Hawaiian Kahuna Shaman, who takes on the negativity of others, transmutes them into healing energy. Moore’s way of delivering truth through film, is his creative way of transmuting that energy. Always upbeat, and never mean spirited, he seems to take on the meanness of others and transmutes it into demonstrative acts of compassion for Americans and their plight. "You are capable of such beautiful dreams and such horrible nightmares. You feel so lost, so cut off and so lonely. In all our searching, the only thing that makes the emptiness bearable, is eachother." – Contact (the movie) The last degrees of Pluto in Sagittarius will create a crisis for those groups who are unwilling to evolve past their dogma. God is hijacked by religious wars. God is not separate from us, like the old Christian perception of an old man sitting up on a throne above the earth, casting judgment upon us. I got news for you, that’s not some old man sitting up in the heavens looking down upon us, those are our planets, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune, Chiron and Pluto. The Language of the OUTER Planets: Saturn –
Responsibility/Discipline/Karma When dogma meets with love, understanding and compassion for all people, the particular notion of God vs. God will dissolve into the light of the truth that we are all manifestations of God and religious affiliations have very little to do with kind acts and the effects that compassion has upon the rest of the world. The Christians have created a self-fulfilled prophesy for themselves. They have predicted for years now, that Christians will go ‘through the fire’ as they say, that the world will turn around and persecute them for their beliefs. You know, I can really see that day coming if they don’t transform their faith and evolve their consciousness with respect to their sexist beliefs, which no longer resonate with the evolving world in which we live in. Just as Jesus came during a time where many had to ‘adjust’ to a new ‘testament’ and a new perspective of God, we are exactly at another similar juncture in our evolution, where they must adjust or go through the fire. Their judgments will eventually become their own self-undoing. You become what you judge. The final degrees of Pluto in Sagittarius (2005-2008) will present either a ‘crisis’ or a ‘turning point’ to the Christian community, as always with Sagittarius, its all depends on how you perceive it. Saturn is now retrograde conjunct the US Mercury, and will move forward in the Spring as it will conjunct the US Mercury (again) and oppose the US Pluto, secrets now tightly held onto will somehow find their way out. This will happen at the end of May and June of 2005. The eclipse patterns in the Spring will be a Solar Eclipse at 19 degrees of Aries on April 8 and the Full Moon Lunar Eclipse will again be in the sign of Scorpio @ 4 degrees on April 24. This marks a turning point in revelations relating to sexual practices, secretive and covert actions that undermine our democracy and progress as a nation. The issues of voting procedures, paperless computerized voting machines will not go away, as members of our congress are loyal to lobbyists of big corporations which are against ‘we the people’. Tightly held secrets will leak out as many will go to extremes to protect them. As a result of national dramas and karma, the American Dollar will devalue around the world. Pluto and our National Psychodramas
In 2008, Pluto will enter Capricorn, the sign of Corporations, Big Business, Executive Power, Government and Discipline. Perhaps it won’t be till Pluto’s shift that the rest of the country will finally wake up to the fact that this nation has been stolen by lobbyists, big business, corporate powers and a ruling ‘elite’. That the decisions made around the world, such as where, when and why to go to war is controlled by a military industrial complex, which is a vast corporate power, that perhaps, then, "the People" will wake up to the principals, ideals and foundations to what this country was founded on and begin to take their power back. Pluto in Sagittarius has in many respects been to many living in the richest and fattest country in the world, like Alice in Wonderland going through the looking glass. Nothing has been what it seems. We have evolved into a drug induced, media driven, fast food and sugary society that places more importance on the size of their plasma TVs then on whether or not we as Americans are in fact living the ‘real American Dream’ which is ‘liberty and justice for all’. The denial in this country which is a totally ‘Plutonian’ issue will eventually become our own self-undoing. Denial creates psychodramas. If American’s deny to exercise their political rights as citizens, by shunning political conflicts in favor of what America can give them, we will all kiss this culture good bye as we sit by and witness the fall of the American Empire. Psychodramas are created out of one’s shadow personality which is repressed and denied. Its projections cry out for liberation, and seem to always attract the need to be ‘woken’ up out of its stupor in traumatic, shocking and awful ways. That is the nature of the shadow. Can it be avoided? Absolutely, but one must be willing to ‘own’ their own shadows, accept and embrace their fears and work towards moving them into the light of compassion for oneself and others. Not an easy task. But possible, doable and nevertheless necessary if we want to survive and avoid more trauma. Will it happen on a national level? Perhaps, but doubtful. There is too much resistance to change and too much fear which will eventually cause ripples of change in dramatic and traumatic ways. What you resist persists. We can’t avoid the laws of the universe. The question is, how much of the looking glass can we take? When do we ‘collectively’ choose to ‘see’ the man (men) behind the curtain? It’s up to us. The Revolution
When cataclysms happen, they inevitably bring change, not only to that region but to every soul that was touched by it. We do not need to be woken up through catastrophe, we only need to want to see beyond the veil, and that is the beginning of our awakening. However, in so doing, we have to be willing to come to terms with the shocking (Aquarius) fact that we have been living a lie. Not an easy task for humans. Cosmically, everything works in polarities, the opposite of Aquarius is Leo, Leo rules the heart, Aquarius rules the circulation. The negative side of Leo is Pride. When Aquarius shakes and shocks, the last thing, and the hardest thing for many to let go of before completely embracing the light of truth, is one’s pride. To accept the hard core truth and realization that one has been living in some kind of illusion for years, or has invested into what has been shown to be a lie, does not feel good to one’s pride center. It is this resistance that unfortunately becomes the cause of so much suffering in the world. In July of 2005, Saturn (co-ruler of Aquarius and ruler of Capricorn) enters Leo for 2-1/2 years. Leo is the sign of the heart. It represents demonstrative actions of affection, generosity, warmth, creative expression through the force of will. The dark side of Leo is pride and arrogance. Leo rules the physical heart of hearts. Saturn is the planet of karma, discipline and responsibility. This will be a time when we will see the truth behind the so-called ‘royalty’ of our country, and as Saturnian forces go, it will be a time to let go of pride and get more in touch with our true heart of hearts. Jesus said, "In the end times, the love of most will grow cold." We are approaching the end of this age, and Saturn in Leo will be a ‘test’ of where the true ‘hearts’ of humanity lie. You will know, we all will. Saturn in Leo will come down pretty hard on the arrogance of this world. Particularly those in the Pluto in Leo generation who will most likely have the hardest time as Saturn comes to make contact with their natal Pluto’s over the 2-1/2 year transit. For those that who are vibrating on a spiritual path and have learned to detach from their egos, Saturn in Leo will reward them for what they created. It all depends on where you’re at. Pluto in Leo is about the right use of will, and the right use of creative power. However, during the course of Pluto in Leo (1938-1958), was when the Atomic Bombs of Hiroshima and Nagasaki were detonated. This generation has the potential to either create heaven on earth or our worst nightmares. Heart issues come to the foreground. The awareness will be raised of the link between the emotional heart and physical heart which has an intelligence that responds to emotional events will be realized as more people have heart attacks without ever having a history of heart disease. The key here, is to have your heart connections sorted out. Those walking the path of the heart, will find Saturn in Leo’s lessons as guidance and wisdom. Those who have strayed from that path, will experience it’s challenges. The Ancient Egyptian Goddess Sekhmet, was the deity that embodied Saturn in Leo. She had the body of a woman and the head of a male lion. Egyptians were terrified of her, if she stood up off her throne, it meant she would send pestilence on the land, so they venerated here through rituals to keep her in a sitting position on her throne with a ‘happy attitude’ by having statutes of her all over the place. She rewarded the fearless and the courageous (Leo) and those who honored loved & showed respect for her and one another. Besides the Pluto in Leo folk, Aquarians get opposed by Saturn, Scorpios and Taureans will be squared over the next 2-1/2 years. The Best advice here, is follow your heart, work out your most personal and emotionally charged relationships, detach from ego concerns, and you should pass Saturn’s tests with a few gold stars. ;-) Find what is worthy of praise and admiration in your relationships and be generous with it. Uphold those you treasure. Saturn in Leo forms commitments of the heart, between lovers and children. Find out where it will be aspecting your chart www.celestialliaisons.com As far as planetary relationships go, one only needs to refer back to its rich mythology, Saturn must yield to Uranus. Uranus father of Saturn will do its own thing, whether Saturn is comfortable with it or not. Revolution is inevitable. So far since Uranus has been traveling through watery Pisces, we have seen sudden, unexpected (Uranus) storms, hurricanes and tsunamis (Pisces – water), and it’s not over yet. We have until 2011 when Uranus moves into Aries (fire).
According to the Chinese, Rooster years are times when there is a lot of loud talk for talk’s sake that seems to go nowhere, and people are prone to take offense at the smallest slight. Simple things are made to appear complicated and people find themselves expending maximum effort for minimum return. People tend to be ostentatious and self-conscious about their image and dissension and debates on all fronts come about as a result of Rooster’s proclivity for argument. When Saturn enters into Leo (July 2005), feathers will get ruffled. All in all, the Rooster year is an optimistic year, but precariously balanced, because the colorful Rooster is prone to nonsensical schemes and flaunting its authority just because it can, which can set off endless numbers of petty disputes. A lot of pride (Saturn in Leo) going nowhere. Astrologers of the past, such as Nostradamus, made predictions of a future, and future ideas about a world existing with totally different ideas to those they knew or experienced in their own lives. Edgar Cayce, the 20th Century’s sleeping prophet foretold of many future events. They both saw a future past their current ideas and were able to see the effects of the present on the far distant future. Many of their prophesies came true, and others did not. My good friend and International Psychic Geralyn St. Joseph of Hawaii says, "even the best of us are only 80% accurate in our predictions, and most of us are between 35-50% accurate." Why? Besides the adeptness of the astrologer and/or psychic, many thing’s are completely left in the hands of the will of the people. The purpose of prophesy is to change it. Free Will is ours, it’s up to us. What path will you choose this year? References: Barbara Hand Clow,

"It
is extremely important to investigate the causes or origins of
suffering. One must begin that process by appreciating the impermanent,
transient nature of our existence. All things, events and phenomena are
dynamic, changing every moment, nothing remains static. Meditating on
one’s blood circulation could serve to reinforce this idea: the blood is
constantly flowing, it never stands still…" The Dalai Lama
It
looks like our New Year was off to a crippling start!. I was deeply
humbled by the power of nature and what this living sentient being we
call Earth can do without much warning. A tragedy of this magnitude, is
100 times worse than 9/11 in terms of death, destruction and loss, and
for that reason more and more people around the world must continue to
come together as a world community to send help, not just once, but keep
on giving. We are the richest and fattest nation in the world, everyone,
who can, should respond to this humanitarian disaster, even if its just
a couple of dollars. While there are many organizations set up to accept
donations, it has been my research that the American Red Cross is the
most worthy because 98 cents of every dollar actually goes towards
relief work, while the rest is used for administration. The more
advertising an agency does, the less money actually goes towards relief
in order to cover the costs of marketing. Plus, the fact that the
American Red Cross is there to respond to all disasters both nationally
and internationally. You never know, they might be there to help you one
day. The more you give to them, the better equipped they will be to
replenish their resources for future catastrophes, and with Uranus in
Pisces now, you can bet on that happening, in the usual Uranian style,
suddenly, without warning and completely shocking and devastating. There
is an old saying in the Kabbalah, that goes something like this, "When
you show mercy to others, particularly to strangers, it crowns you, as
in your day of need, that same mercy will be returned back to you."
Neptune
rules Pisces, Uranus rules Aquarius, they are traveling now through each
other’s signs creating what we call a ‘mutual reception’. This means
that they will work together and sometimes disguise themselves as the
other in merging their powers together. Uranus is like lightening.
Uranus can not be controlled, it seeks freedom of expression and
liberation from bondage. Now that Uranus travels through Pisces, it
serves to release Pisces from the bondages of its dark side, by dredging
up all the suppressed, denied parts of Pisces and literally putting it
through the great universal wash. The recent tsunami, couldn’t have been
more Uranus in Pisces, because the wave was generated from deep within
the ocean, moving miles and miles as it churned up all the depths of the
sea until finally breaking at the shoreline and literally bringing up
all the stuff from the bottom of the ocean by releasing it all to the
surface as it unfortunately destroyed so much in its path.
The
Earth spoke, the message was in the water. While there were some who
felt this was the judgment or punishment of god upon the people of
Indonesia, judgments like this fail to receive the whole message here,
which was coming from the planet. Did you know that the Coral reefs of
Indonesia are considered to be the world’s epicenter of marine
diversity? It has supported more than 25% of the Earth’s fish species
and 14% of the world’s total corals. However, these vital ecosystems
have become threatened by destructive fishing practices and coastal
developments. The Coral Reefs are the lifeblood of the oceans, nurturing
and sustaining the life of hundreds of creatures, not to mention being a
literal pharmacy to humans as elements found within the corals have been
able to heal ailments from broken bones to arthritis and have even been
known to sustain the lives of ‘aids’ patients. Saving the Coral Reefs is
in essence saving ourselves. It is not just from over fishing, that is
but one of the stresses, but the combination of logging practices which
dumps all the silt into the ocean which settles upon the reefs and
literally suffocates them, and according to marine biologists, the ocean
temperatures of the reefs have risen 2 degrees in the past decade. All
of these stressors upon the reefs are causing them to die, and as a
result hundreds and thousands of species are affected by their
degeneration, including humans!
In
Astrology, the element of water relates to the realms of emotions and
our intuitive bodies. In fact, in astrology, cosmic energy can be
compared to water moving down a river or up a stream
The
Earth has sent the world a huge message. Are you downloading it? There
was not a creature on this planet that didn’t feel the vibration caused
by the big 9.0 quake and its resultant consuming waves. Scientists said
that the entire planet was actually vibrating on its rotation after the
quake. (That’s what happens during Moon & Solar Wobbles, the earth
really does wobble). We all felt it. Many of us couldn’t sleep for days
over the Full moon period of Dec. 26. Many felt changes in their bodies,
illness, headaches, in response to this energy shift. 155,000 people
checked out. When I look upon the devastation and suffering in the
Indian Ocean areas, I think to myself, those who died were the lucky
ones. They were liberated from this plane. Although it is heartbreaking
that so many families were torn apart. To add insult to injury, there
have been reports of orphaned children abducted, women raped and what’s
left of people’s belongings stolen.
Saturn
is moving through its last degrees of Cancer. I mentioned this in
previous newsletters how Saturn in Cancer would bring up the abuse
issues of children with the opportunity to correct old family patterns.
Cancer is the sign of nurturing and security. Saturn is the planet of
responsibility and karma. It represents parental responsibility and/or
one’s parents in the chart. Nobody gets away with anything when it comes
to Saturn, someone up there is always keeping score. It is the planet
that rules over the immutable laws of sowing and reaping.
Our
tumultuous consciousness is reflected in the tumultuousness of Nature.
The Gaia Hypothesis posits that the "turbulence in our collective mind
is inseparable from the turbulence in Nature". The relationship between
the earth and our consciousness is integral and we can’t just slough it
off as a random act of nature. The consciousness between us and the
consciousness of the earth is reflective of how nature responds. As
humanity’s conception of God evolves, humans evolve towards god
consciousness and awakening to their birthright to be partners with God
and partners with nature. Animals are part of nature, their partnership
is integral with the environment and the mind of Gaia. Everyone has
marveled at how hardly any animals died during the tsunami, but somehow
all moved towards higher ground before the wave hit. Attunement?
Telepathy? Or just animal instinct? This shows an intelligence at work
that humanity has lost.
New
moons are energy cycles for planting new seeds into the ocean of
consciousness. It was believed by the ancients, that that was the time
when Angels were the closest to earth listening for the prayers of
humans so that they may do their biddings. Doreen Virtue, PhD, author of
numerous books on Angels and Fairies, have lovingly joked that there are
many unemployed angels up in heaven waiting for humans to give them
work. Sounds silly? But Angels do not force themselves upon us, they
intervene based on our requests, invocations and prayers. New Moons are
especially one of the most sensitive times for bidding their attention.
Full Moons are culmination phases, it represents intensity and the
fullness of awareness as the Moon receives the total light from the Sun.
These are times for prayer and group meditation as the resonance in
numbers creates a much more intensified frequency for good or for bad.
It is a time of energy release, as after the 3rd day of the
full moon, the energy wanes and goes through its death phase. All you
need to do is pick up any calendar and follow these moon cycles.
This
problem is not going to go away. Astrologically speaking, Pluto is
moving through its last degrees of Sagittarius, which has to do with
waking up out of the kind of ‘Pollyanna’ politics that many attach
themselves to in this country. The ‘carefree, happy go lucky attitude’
which is so Sagittarian, has its dark side which is the denial that a
‘fascist’ element has taken over our nation. "The loss of Liberty
is incremental, not sudden & dramatic."
~Niemoller.
Uranus
in Pisces is about revolutions in belief systems, revolutions in
religion and revolutions within spirit. The mutual reception between
Uranus in Pisces and Neptune in Aquarius is about coming through the
‘looking glass’, by seeing beyond this dimension, piercing through the
veils of confusion, fear and the ‘magicians’ of terrorism over our
souls. Truth is a high commodity. Aquarius is about Truth and Freedom.
Truth comes first, then comes freedom from the prisons of lies, denial
and deceptions (Neptune). Astronomically Neptune is a planet with
constant hurricane winds swirling at up to 1,200 miles per hour. When
this planet travels through Aquarius, its time for the ‘truth’ to be
awakened amidst all the grand deceptions that millions have bought into
for centuries. With the mutual reception of Uranus & Neptune, the
question is, are we seeing what’s real or what we want to believe is
real? Cosmic law dictates that we create our reality through either one
of two cosmic forces, fear or love. With the energy of love, hope &
courage we can create, manifest and anchor our ‘dream world’ into 3D
reality, and with our fears and anxieties we can create and manifest our
worst nightmares. We are the only species on this planet that was
created with free will, which is essentially, the will to choose.
February
9, 2005 is the
Chinese New Year of the Green (Wood) Hen. Many calendars are calling it
the year of the Rooster, which as you know is the ‘male’ chicken. Many
web sites say
