2007 has some pretty major shifts occurring. This newsletter covers, Jupiter’s transit through Sagittarius its revolutionary square to Uranus and its massive conjunction to Pluto and the Galactic Center’ black hole, along with Saturn’s entrance into Virgo in the Fall of 07 all happening in the Chinese New Year of the Fire Pig.

These newsletters come few and far between now as I am completing the final edits on my book this year, which is why I’m packing this newsletter full of new info to last for the New Year.

Astrology is a cosmic language that aids us in understanding the ever changing landscape of our evolution. While Astrology can be used as a predictive tool, it is more useful to use as a guide post to our ever changing emotional weather system. With our own free will and focused thoughts, we can choose how we want to respond to cosmic events, as opposed to be being completely controlled by them. Surfing and Riding the Cosmic Waves takes some practice, but if you know how to duck and dive through different phases, you’ll find yourself cooperating with the natural flow while keeping your head above water.

The stars are the windows of heaven, where the angels peek through. - Old saying

In the meantime, here are the Retros and Wobbles for the year:

Mercury retrogrades 3 times this year:

February 14th - March 8th:
June 15th to July 10th:
October 12 - November 1st:

Avoid signing important contracts and agreements during the retrograde; Avoid purchasing important equipment, i.e., computers, electronics, appliances and cars, etc.; Never get married during this phase; Travel only if you have to - if so, keep a close eye on labels, luggage and allow for delays, rescheduling and the unexpected.

Saturn and Jupiter are the only major outer planets that change signs this year. (scroll down for more info)

When it comes to love and romance, some relationships may end, others get tested. During Venus retros just like Moon Wobbles, old friends and past lovers may re-appear to resolve old issues. With Venus in Leo during most of its retrograde cycle, the romance drama is turned up high. Old friends and lovers that re-appear can complicate current relationships.

Venus retrogrades are cathartic for bringing up unresolved feminine issues to the surface. We usually cycle through women’s issues during Venus retrogrades, such as financial equality in workplace, women’s reproductive rights and issues of gay and lesbian marriage. This phase gets everyone talking as the celestial stage offers this time of reflection for the ultimate resolution of these issues.

Retrograde planets can indicate obsessions regarding the expression and manifestation of the energy they represent.

For women, this can be a great time to attract a new partner. For men, well, you can figure out the obvious ;-) Others have been known to come out of the closet during Mars retrogrades because it relates to sexuality. Gay issues resurface, crying out for resolution. For everyone else, it is a time to re-evaluate one’s conflicts, and to pick and choose your battles. Have you lost track of what you were fighting about in the first place? Is it really worth fighting over or not? Are your actions supporting your growth or inhibiting it? How well are you dealing with anger issues? What are you really passionate about? These are the kinds of issues that come up during the mars retrograde.

The Solar Eclipse on March 18, 2007 marks the beginning of a new era for the year, as it is only 2 days away from the Vernal Equinox, a time when new life has its chance to bloom. The seeds planted during this eclipse will have a six month window of influence. The Pisces issues of Unity Consciousness and Compassion is what must be focused on the most, as the fish go in opposite directions, creating more divisiveness and conflicts over religion and belief systems, another Pisces issue.

The second set of eclipses begins on August 28, 2007 with another Full Moon Lunar Eclipse at 4 degrees of Pisces followed by the Solar Eclipse on September 11, 2007 at 18 degrees of Virgo. This new moon solar eclipse will be close to Saturn as it enters Virgo on September 3, 2007. Interesting that there will be a New Moon Solar Eclipse on the 6^th anniversary of 9/11. Will they ever get ‘round to building that memorial? New plans will be revised now, as will a new perspective on what took place on 9-11-01. Scroll down for more info on Saturn in Virgo’s influence which is being jumpstarted with this eclipse.

Aug. 28, Full Moon Lunar Eclipse @ 4 degrees of Pisces – Known to Native Americans as the Full Sturgeon Moon, when this large fish of the Great Lakes and other major bodies of water like Lake Champlain is most readily caught.  A few tribes knew it as the Full Red Moon because the moon rises looking reddish through a sultry haze at this time of year, and was also called the Green Corn Moon or Grain Moon.  A total lunar eclipse will coincide with moonset for the eastern United States.  The Central and Mountain Time Zones will see the Moon’s emergence coincide with moonset, while the western United States will see the entire eclipse. On the flip side of the lunar eclipse from six months ago when the eclipse patterns was Virgo, this Lunar eclipse will be in Pisces, compounding all the emotional issues that goes with Pisces. Pisces is a water sign, so this lunar eclipse will most likely produce some the year’s worst storms, flooding and hurricanes.

May 31, Full Moon @ 10 degrees of Sagittarius – The Blue Moon.  A "Blue Moon" occurs when there are 2 Full Moons in a calendar month. The saying "Once in a Blue Moon" means it’s a special event. Blue Moons happen approximately every 2.5 years. In January and March of 1999, we had two Blue Moons occurring in the same year an occurrence which happens only four times in a century. The last time this happened was in January and April of 1961 and it will not happen again until January and March of 2018. The Blue Moon of May 31, 2007 will conjunct Jupiter retrograding at 15 degrees of Sagittarius, magnifying the effect of this full moon. (scroll down for Jupiter Cycles)

You may have heard the old saying, "When pigs fly!" It’s a way of describing something that can never happen, like the US winning the war in Iraq. The Year of the Pig begins with a Saturn-Neptune Opposition, which creates a kind of mass trance, making it difficult for anyone to see the situation with clarity. It’s seeing what you want to see, which is the Neptunian magic, or wishful thinking, while Saturn tries to awaken those into the stark reality that nothing is what it appears to be.

America is a competitive country and is obsessed with winning and victory, which is why we’re finding it hard to stay out of Iraq because we’re too focused on the outcome being viewed by the world as a victory for America. The reality is it’s another Vietnam. We can attribute much of this to ‘Pork Barrel’ politics. While conservatives are big spenders when it comes to foreign policy, to date $350 Billion – now projected to be a Trillion Dollars when all is said and done on the Iraq war, but when it comes to domestic issues, they want small government, or no government as the case may be, as history demonstrated during Hurricane Katrina how the US government responded (or lack as the case may be) to their own devastation.

Saturn, planet of karma and limitation breaks out of its opposition with Neptune as it enters into Virgo on September 3, 2007, the sign of details, diet and accounting. Saturn in Virgo is going to want accountability: "Where’s the Bacon?". What I particularly like about incorporating Chinese Astrology into Western Astrology is that there are always correlations between the two systems. One can say that we can derive the same results from both systems, but isn't it more fun to blend the two?

Chinese Astrology is a system that revolves every 60 years. However, each animal year repeats itself every 12 years and each animal year is ruled by elements, along with each animal symbolizing an element of their own. There are 5 elements in the Chinese system: water, earth, fire, air and wood or metal, which gives us 60 different combinations. Western astrology has 4 elements: earth, water, fire and air, however, we also have other kinds of monkey wrenches thrown into the mix, such as retrogrades, wobbles and eclipses, which can stir up the pot so to speak.

Here is what Raymond Lo - a well known Chinese Astrologer has to say about 2007:

"The Year of the Pig, 2007, in the Hsia calendar, is symbolized by two elements " with fire sitting on top of water. According to the cycle of birth and destruction, which governs the inter-relationship between the elements, fire will be conquered by water.

Therefore, fire sitting on water is a symbol of conflict and skirmish and this may bring a relatively less peaceful year with more international conflicts and struggles. In recent years, the last time such fire and water elements appeared was in 2002 in the year of the water horse, which was the year immediately after 911 and terrorism became a global threat . The fire standing on top in 2007 is yin fire which is compared to the candle flame. Whilst the yang fire in 2006 symbolizes the sun and represents openness, optimism, warmth, politeness and care, the Yin fire in 2007 symbolizes tension, temperamental emotions, agitations, and illusions. The Yin fire is candle flame, and a spark of fire. There is a common Chinese saying that a spark of fire can burn down the whole plain. As such, yin fire can be more damaging and destructive than yang fire. It is anticipated that there will be more international conflicts and disharmony which will even lead to regional warfare, uprising and unrest, or over throwing of the government in certain countries."

For most of 2007, Saturn will be finishing its trek through Leo and it will be opposing Neptune, which began August 31, 2006 and due to its retrograde effect, the opposition will return again on February 28, 2007 and June 25, 2007. Neptune rules Oil, Gas, Refined Petroleum Products, Drugs, and Films. This aspect has within it many confusing themes. All oppositions are like mirrors, they mimic and mirror the Full Moon aspect, which creates awareness. However, when Neptune is holding up the mirror, there is always a blur and the need to adjust the tracking or change one’s glasses. The point is, we are not seeing things clearly and tend to see what we want to see. During this ten month influence, those who already have the tendency to refuse to see reality with clarity will be in for a big surprise when this opposition releases and the spell wears off when Saturn enters Virgo. There will be illusions, disillusionment and misunderstandings. Most of this is caused by the attachment to ego which is the Leo stuff coming from Saturn which is saying if you see through the eyes of your soul, you will see reality, but if you look through the eyes of ego, you will be left with delusions of grandeur. Neptune in Aquarius is saying, see the Dream for the good of all concerned, don’t just think of yourself, think of the whole world, see how your thoughts and actions affect the greater good. The opposition always presents a choice, in this case, which side will you choose to perceive through? For more insight see Saturn in Leo: Be Courageous in the Face of Fear

Neptune -The Inner Alchemist and Magician

"Hold fast to dreams, for if dreams die, life is a broken winged bird that cannot fly." ~Jonathon Livingston Seagull

Neptune in Aquarius is the opportunity to envision the dream and in Aquarius, the sign of telepathy, innovation, technology and the future, our sights must be fixed on how we can create our dreams into reality by ‘grounding’ heaven on earth.

Neptune is known for its amorphousness, clarity does come with Neptune when the emotional (energy in motion) is aligned with mental and physical energy. Yoga practice is very Neptunian because it aligns physical energy with the emotional and spiritual through directing your will (ruled by the Sun) and your breath (ruled by Mercury) into stretching beyond your own personal limits and your pain (Saturn) by willfully directing your breath repetitively for as long as you can handle while redistributing the energy flow through your body, mind and spirit. This practice aligns your Higher Self (Neptune) into your 3^rd Dimensional Self (Sun).

Because Neptune is known as the Dream Weaver, through the realm of Aquarius, the sign of multi-dimensionality, this transit allows us the opportunity to channel higher thoughts intuitively which is the signature of Aquarius, into 3^rd Dimensional reality, while alchemizing spirit and thought into matter. Telepathic communication is not only the oldest form of communication in the universe, it is the only form of communication between most species. Humans have the capabilities, which have for the most part become dulled down over the ages, but are now being reborn into the collective psyches. Emails are kind of like the training wheels on the bicycle of telepathy, as more and more people are getting relational communications before even downloading the email.

While an election can create changes on government levels, the real change must inevitably come from us. Neptune is also known as the higher octave of Venus, which is love, which makes Neptune, Higher Love, Agape Love, Divine Love, Divine Inspiration and Divine Intelligence.

Here’s the rub: "Love brings up everything unlike itself."

Wonder why the world is getting more intense each day? As many of you know, we are at a crossroads of shifting archetype’s and paradigms, while new standards and new codings are replacing old outmoded patterns and habits. The Love vibration is the only thing that will heal and correct the patterns of the past, while transmuting them into new energies for the future.

In 2010, there is a dangerous square forming between the planets Pluto and Uranus. Pluto will be in Capricorn (the sign of governments) and Uranus will be in Aries (Fire). This square has the potential for a nuclear explosion. Where it will come from, and who will be the first to attack, still remains to be seen as this tension aspect still has the opportunity to be mitigated if foreign relations, and diplomacy is exercised and changed between now and then. The square between Uranus in Aries and Pluto in Capricorn dances in and out of the orb of influence between 2010 and 2012. In fact, in June of 2012, they catch up with each other and square off exactly at 8 degrees. There are those in this world, believe it or not, who want an ‘End Times Scenario’ to play itself out, they seem to feel if they can get Armageddon over with, then they’ll see the return of Christ, and of course there are the rest of us, who believe that its all self-fulfilled prophecies happening at the expense of the rest of the planet, in order for those believers to feel fulfilled in their prospective ‘heavens’. Then there are those in spite of these scenarios, doing the work of creating Heaven on Earth, which is another reality that is being over laid to the old program of the End Times Scenario. In order for this scenario to be altered and mitigated, it requires intelligent leadership and a new kind of awakening within the collective consciousness.

"Think P.I.G. - that’s my motto. P stands for Persistence, I stands for Integrity, and G stands for Guts. These are the ingredients for a successful life." ~ Linda Chandler

Jupiter conjuncts Pluto while aligned with the Galactic Center’s Black Hole in December of 2007. Jupiter is the planet of expansion and Pluto is the god of the Underworld. The following pandemics wherein there were widespread deaths and were all characterized by the Jupiter-Pluto conjunction:

The Black Plague began in 1347 during the Jupiter-Pluto conjunction in Aries. The global flu pandemic of 1918 began during the Jupiter-Pluto conjunction in Cancer. AIDS was first identified in 1981. In December of 2007, the Jupiter-Pluto conjunction will be in Sagittarius which portends mass death. This can come through pandemic, earth changes or war. The way of war is more likely considering the fact that it is all in fire signs, however in 2007 the eclipse energies of Virgo/Pisces which indicates a health crisis and brings in the earth and water energies to the equation, sets the stage for the mutation of unknown viruses and bacteria to contend with.

While this concept may seem like something out of a science fiction scenario, many of the viruses and bacteria circulating around the planet today are alien life forms and come from the interaction of alien beings with our planet. However, due to the amorphousness of Neptune in its opposition to Saturn as well as its mutual reception to Uranus, viruses may change form before new medicines are formed to combat them. With this knowledge, it is very important that people take precautions by washing their hands often and boosting their immune systems with the supportive power of plants, fruits and vegetables. The knowledge of the spread of viruses may be used in warfare on unsuspecting groups of people.

The Iran-Iraq War began in September of 1980 to August of 1988. It has been the called the longest conventional war in the 20^th century and cost 1 million casualties and US$1.9 trillion. The war was known for its extensive use of chemical weapons by Iraqi forces used against Iranian troops, civilians and Iraqi Kurds.

By June of 2007, there will be a major turning point in Iraq, together with civil war mounting, Iran will seize the opportunity to settle the score with Iraq and possibly the US, if they’re not careful. The USA’s Moon is at 26 degrees of Aquarius. Saturn opposes the US Moon August of 2007 indicating defeat and disappointment in Iraq. There is growing speculation of Israel launching a pre-emptive nuclear attack on Iran. The US is already getting ready to back them up through building up warships in the region.

I came across the chart for Iran, for May 17, 1639 which marks the beginning of Iran when it finally drew boundaries from the Ottoman Empire and defined itself as Persia, which has become modern day Iran. See The Treaty of Zohab in 1639. The Sun and Pluto are conjunct opposing the Moon, Neptune and Jupiter. Neptune is oil. Sun/Pluto conjunction signifies power reflected back from Oil (Neptune). The Full Moon in Scorpio which today is known as the Buddha Moon, is an auspicious time for connecting with the Gods. This region of the world first began with ancient Sumer, and was seeded by Sumerian Gods, also known as the Annunaki. See Zecharia Sitchin’s trilogy, The Earth Chronicles. The forces of power and the ‘portals’ of power are points for battle. These ancient portals, are vortexes of power for these ancient ET Gods. The South Node holds a stellium in Gemini with Venus, Mars and Mercury all conjunct. The Gemini stellium indicates the need to co-exist with all of its neighbors, while maintaining its power as a soveriegn Persian (Iran) state, with Neptune (oil) conjunct its Full Moon in Scorpio, conjunct Jupiter at 1 degree Sagittarius. In fact, Iran has just reached its Jupiter return, which has energized them into a new cycle of power. By the time Jupiter reaches its zenith on December 10, 2007 when it aligns with Pluto during the new moon, Iran will have a new destiny, whatever’s left of them.

Israel will be having their Jupiter return in December as well, which is exactly conjunct Pluto aligned with the GC’s black hole. This too marks a major turning point in Israel’s history. Israel also just completed its second Saturn return last year, which marks a new era in Israel’s goals and commitment to the region. The perceived nuclear threats of the Iranian President Ahmadinejad’s to "wipe Israel off the face of the earth," was taken seriously during Israel’s Saturn return, as Israel now plans a preemptive attack to dismantle Iran’s nuclear capabilities.

Jupiter in Sagittarius is about expanding perceptions of beliefs systems. One of which will be the way we perceive wars and who and what is really the driving force behind them. Nuclear energy is not new to this planet or to the Middle East as we have ancient records of nuclear energy being found in Sodom and Gomorrah. However, the situation has changed over the past five thousand years. What a coincidence that the greatest majority of UFO sightings take place around military and nuclear facilities. Also, there has been growing evidence that nuclear tests have been mysteriously interfered with as many speculate that our ‘resident alien presence’ is playing a role in zapping nuclear missiles before they are launched.

"The exopolitical situation is very serious. The use of nuclear weapons has long been known to impact in unknown ways on extraterrestrial life. This is the inevitable conclusion that can be drawn from historic cases of nuclear weapons being interfered with or destroyed prior to their possible use. Given the clear warnings implied in these cases of extraterrestrial intervention with the possible use of nuclear weapons, it appears very foolhardy for any nation to sanction the preemptive use of nuclear weapons. The impact on extraterrestrial life is unknown, and past interventions suggest that extraterrestrials will not stand idly by and observe the use of nuclear weapons that might impact on them in unknown ways. This information has been kept from the general public and elected political representatives. If disclosure of the extraterrestrial presence occurred, this might significantly impact on local tolerance on the development and possible use of nuclear weapons." Michael E. Salla, M.A., PhD, Israel seeks Preemptive Nuclear Strike against Iran An Exopolitical Perspective on Peace in the Middle East

The last two Saturn/Neptune oppositions have been about governmental cover-ups. The most recent Saturn-Neptune oppositions occurred during the years 1936-1937 (The Nazi Berlin Olympics) and 1971-1972 (Watergate). There was a certain mass blindness to historical reality during those time periods. In 1936, Hitler staged the Berlin Olympics while continuing to seduce world opinion. The world, mired in a Great Depression, chose to look the other way. In 1972, Richard Nixon was re-elected President under the Watergate scandal. Saturn-Neptune oppositions can often symbolize trance states which sweep through culture.

So what’s the biggest cover-up in American History? The fact that since 1947, our government has known and has been working with not one, but dozens of different Extra Terrestrial and Alien groups that they have been engaged in and have entered into agreements with over technology. The mass trance that has been perpetrated on Americans through the control of the major media, using subtle propaganda methods, that this is just for conspiracy nuts, or that if you have experienced contact with an Alien or ET, or have seen a UFO, then you’re delusional, is just that, mass trance propaganda. It is only designed to keep the government secrecy away from the public mind. Sure, this country supports free speech and freedom of press, so the information has been leaked down to alternative media sources and anyone reading this must now be aware of the plethora of books and materials that have been published on UFOs, Extra Terrestrials and Aliens.

Many in the fields of UFOlogy and Exopolitics have been waiting for the government to make an Official Announcement when only to be served, "Official Denial" all these years. Because of this on going government truth embargo over what the government knows about UFOs and Aliens, the playing field has been left wide open for independent researchers and experiencers to tell their stories and share information. Many high level top security clearance government personnel have become whistleblowers and have come forward with what they know and have witnessed through the publishing of various materials. These whistleblowers have contributed to the vast amount of research involving the agreements and interactions our governments have had with several alien groups.

The topic is vast, and there is much to learn, and the more you learn, the more questions you have, but intuitively, this is my take: we’re all like the boiling frogs, many don’t even realize (mass trance) the interventions and interactions that take place daily on our planet from several dozens of different groups of aliens, extra terrestrials and inter-dimensionals contacting humans while they sleep. Many are "asleep" when they are awake. The good news is many have been waking up. This great wave of awakenings is like a huge swell, that will eventually sweep the planet in a collective ‘knowing’ and consciousness, which when it reaches its saturation point, (we’re very close) all will know, all will understand, all will awaken to their own experiences and will understand. This is happening in spite of the fact that the governments have protected this secret all these years.

When I first woke up to my own experiences in 1992, my journey led me to several Ufologists who were of the belief that contact only happened to certain ‘chosen’ individuals. I have come to learn through the past 15 years of research, that this is not the case. Everyone has been contacted on some level. We are all part of this Galactic Interaction which is the focus of my upcoming book, Our Galactic Heritage projected to be out sometime in 2008. .

It will be awhile for everyone to see that, and as time ticks on faster than ever, that day is closer than we think. Like the boiling frog, the masses are learning to live with the sub culture of UFOlogy and Alien Experiences. Sure there is a lot of fear projected onto them, just as there is excitement and anticipation. The point is, the technology exists for us to solve all of our world’s biggest problems, our environmental crisis, which they care very deeply for, as well as our growing health and energy crisis. I am projecting that by the time Neptune (rules oil) finishes its trek through Aquarius in 2012, we will find our way off of fossil fuel energy sources.

Where there is secrecy there is no truth.
Without truth there can be no justice.
And without justice there can be no freedom.

"No UFO reported, investigated and evaluated by the Air Force has ever given any indication of a threat to our national security." ~ Official US Air Force Statement, 1980

There is much frustration on the part of researchers and educators in the field to have government disclosure and support, but in the meantime, the general public will have to become educated of our ongoing involvement with the alien presence through independent researchers.

In the meantime, we need to collectively claim our power back by re-membering who we are, working together with our group soul’s mission to clean up our own energy fields along with the energy field of this planet. As I heal myself, I heal my planet. We know what we know, and the government can not stop the ships from coming, they cannot stop the interactions and experiences from occurring, they cannot stop ‘CONTACT’. It is happening every single day on this magical planet of ours.

"I am not in my body, my body is in me." ~Deepak Chopra.

One thing I’d like to mention here briefly, is that not all experiences are alike. Discernment is by far the greatest lessons of our time as we evolve collectively. We are in the middle of colliding paradigms. One of the things we are called to master is how to control our energy, how to hold our own space. People don’t often see themselves as Energy Sources, but in fact that is what we are. We live in a huge egg filled of energy. When we shake off the ole mortal coil, that is what is left – our non corporeal energy fields. Graduating out of the Age of Pisces requires our understanding of this. Vampirism is not limited to blood sucking, it is much more prevalent to energy sucks. People do this to each other when they can’t figure out how to get their own energy themselves. This trend is changing, especially now that we have other intelligences interested in our energy fields. Some use us for this drain, others give us energy. How do you feel after being with certain people? Some people make you feel good, not only because they are giving, but more importantly because they know how to hold their own space and respect your space and are not looking to drain you, they know how to regenerate themselves, others, well, practice energy theft on a regular basis. The vast array of alien species interacting with us also falls into these two categories. Some of them want to assist you, heal you, send warm and loving vibrations to you, and others are using you for your energy.

For the most part, these encounters are certainly getting our attention on many levels, but one of the most important lessons, has to do with managing our own energy fields. Certain vibratory frequencies can attract or repel these beings. The Aquarian Age is the Age of Energy. Just as much as we need to understand ‘technology’, understanding the ‘inner technology’ is just as important, if not more so for our own survival.

Here’s something to ponder: Many Christians believe that the rapture is when Jesus Christ returns to pluck all of his believers off the planet and save them from a terrible tribulation of wars and disasters. Others believe that Aliens or Extra Terrestrials may sweep them up and take them out of here before things get too bad. See any similarities? Many believe that Jesus is part of a Galactic Federation of Masters and Extra Terrestrials and even with in that belief system, there are those who believe they will come and save us and those who believe they won’t as it is up to us to save ourselves. New Agers believe in Ascension based on the belief that this is their last life on earth, and they will one day Ascend (like the Ascended Masters) into a new dimensional experience.

If your thoughts and beliefs create your reality and desired outcomes, then whose to say that these belief systems are wrong? However, it’s also fair to say that what others believe and see may not be what happens to everyone.

What many of these beliefs and scenarios hold is an escape and refusal to deal with our present reality. (Neptunian). But how many of us, can ever escape the process of our own evolution? What if we all woke up to the fact that the Gods of all the religions of the world are really ancient Extra Terrestrials that have seeded this planet along with a myriad of genetic experiments and genetic interventions? What if we all woke up to the fact one day, that the so called ‘abductions’ that many have and still are experiencing, are just another one of their interventions in our evolution as Homo Sapiens? Well, that would certainly explain a lot, now wouldn’t it.

Which is why, there is the belief, that is founded on this type of Creationism, that the Gods of the past are the ETs and Aliens doing the upgrades to the human race through the abduction experience, and that there is an even bigger picture that says, we are not only children of the Gods, but also commodities of these so called ‘gods’ and if we got to the point of destroying ourselves, they would surely intervene as it would be in their best interest to do so. Others believe, that if an Earth nation would use nuclear energy to destroy another nation, that there are groups of ETs and/or Aliens that would do everything in their power to prevent that, not necessarily because they care so much about us, but because the explosion would offset their place in the celestial sphere as nuclear explosions have larger ramifications than just the destruction of its target source, not to mention that many actually consider Earth as their territory. The radiation that waves out into space is enough to throw other planets and celestial objects off their orbit, even if it’s a minute amount which is all that is needed to create chaos in space. Researchers believe that this is the reason so many different types of ETs and Aliens have begun interacting with Earth since Americans detonated its nuclear bombs in 1945. Let’s just say, we got their attention.

But perhaps, because of the rules and laws of engagement, kind of like Star Trek’s Prime Directive, some things must be realized for ourselves. If our parents did everything for us, how on earth would we ever learn to be independent? So it is with our ET Ancestors.

"With our obsession with antagonisms of the moment, we often forget how much unites all the members of humanity. I occasionally think how quickly our differences, worldwide, would vanish if we were facing an alien threat from outside this world. Yet, I ask you, is not an alien force already among us? What could be more alien than war and the threat of war? "  President Ronald Reagan, 1988. 

Find a time in Earth’s history where peace actually prevailed for more than a day all around the planet. Hard to find? Maybe that’s because the energy that is emitted from the trauma of wars is a by product that is extremely valuable and harvestable to certain aliens or inter dimensionals on some level?

At this time, Ufologists can’t even agree on alien agendas. In any event, for any researcher to hold fast to the belief that all the ETs, Aliens or Inter Dimensionals all see us the same way, and are all motivated with the same intentions towards us, is like saying that all Americans are like George Bush. Thank Heavens that is not the case! And so as diverse as we are in our perceptions and agendas, we must therefore conclude, so are the ETs and Aliens.

For anyone to become fanatical in their beliefs about these beings, would be regressive at this stage of our evolution, as the worship of these beings has already created the world’s religions and cults leaving us with our present dilemmas. Jupiter in Sagittarius offers us the opportunity to expand our perceptions beyond what we’ve always thought whether it be on the subject of the Alien Presence or any other subject.

In our quest for Global Peace we are faced with the challenge of how not to give our energy (power) away through wars and conflict. We know that we can not experience world peace without first understanding how to find ‘inner peace’ individually. It’s all relative. It’s not so much what you do, that brings one inner peace, but more importantly, what you refrain from doing. Every day we are faced with choices to be engaged in petty conflicts. They all require our energy. The choice for our inner peace lies in whether we give our energy away to the conflict or we choose to let it go and diffuse it. We certainly do need to pick our battles, as some things are worth fighting for. That’s the power of the collective consciousness, as each of us does this, the energy swells into the grid, like the hundredth monkey, we all catch on.

Granted, humanity has been implanted some really outrageous belief systems, some are based on truth and some are just plain ole delusional. It is due to alien implantation of false knowledge and false beliefs that causes people to believe what ‘they’ want you to believe by creating a huge distraction from what is the truth. In fact it is through implantation that allows ETs and Aliens to use humans in the way that they do, whether that may be perceived as beneficial or detrimental to the whole. Imagine for a moment, seeing through all the implants, some of which are belief systems so deeply ingrained that it makes it impossible for people to see the light within the context of their present religious doctrines. This transparency is already happening on several levels and will be a given in the Aquarian Age.

The other scenario which is not talked about too much are the ones who stick it out, who are committed to healing this planet, doing what it takes to make Earth the shining star that it is. Those who are not looking to escape through Ascending out of here or looking for the next space ship to haul them out, but those who believe that healing this amazing and magical planet is possible, and will work with any Extra Terrestrial who resonates with the same feeling and belief. Those will be the leaders of the New Age that gets established on Earth. Yes, it’s possible that every effort you put into this planet in the 3^rd Dimension, is reaped on the New Earth that already exists in the 4^th and 5^th dimensions. Love, efforts, thoughts and energy are never wasted. But when it’s just created to escape from the 3^rd dimensional experience, which lets face it, in its highest expression as being human, is we are all called to both individually and collectively create and more importantly, ‘realize’ heaven on earth. How can we do that when everyone is trying to escape the work of doing that? When it comes to Neptune, our missions are to "ground the muse," by realizing and creating your heaven on earth however you choose to do it, from creating your own personal space to expanding that to the rest of the world with tapping into your Neptunian gifts. Neptune is the planet of Muses, it inspires Divine Love, Music, Poetry, Art and mystical experiences, and while in Aquarius, innovation and liberation. We have been told to "Seek Ye First the Kingdom of God," "The Kingdom of God is within." Many are waking up to the fact that it is not outside of us, it is right here with us, right now. We may not resonate with another’s end time scenario. We may choose not to buy into the death and destruction of those realities, we may choose not to escape the Earth, but protect it for future generations. We all have that choice.

"There are no passengers on spaceship earth. We're all crew." Marshall McLuhan

We can not wait around for our government to feed us, tell us bedtime secrets and rescue us. Our government is there to serve us. The true power is with the people. Aquarius is the sign that rules the masses. The Aquarian Age is about getting our power back, through understanding how energy works both scientifically and spiritually. The Aquarian Age is about the ‘marriage’ of science and spirit. Perhaps the reason why our government has become drunk with power is because the people have been asleep. This is a year to wake up!

"You can have anything you want if you will give up the belief that you can't have it." Obvious

If we are to accept and embrace our place in the Galactic Neighborhood, we must first embrace and accept our own diversity as a planet. The United States has got to stop invading other countries because it is threatened by their dictators hold on oil, the United States must become independent of foreign oil. This kind of imperialistic behavior has got to stop, as America prepares to elect a new President and bring in a new administration in 2008-2009, that needs to be more resonant with the present needs and crisis.

Another disturbing fact to be aware of, is that the US has become the world’s biggest polluter. The US uses tons of pesticides, as most American farmers literally ‘douse’ their fields in pesticides. Besides pesticides finding their way not only into your food, but also into the soil and into the water, chemicals used in tanning factories, are discarded through neighboring rivers and streams, find their way into local drinking waters.

I can’t tell you how many people I have encountered who after abduction experiences get very sick with some weird viral thing that literally drains their energy for weeks. Energetically speaking, the virus is being used to ‘purge’ toxins from them, along with emotional toxicity that always has the opportunity for clearing when people get sick.

The intense saturation of toxic chemicals being ‘experimented’ on us and our planet, which has created the highest cancer and heart disease rate ever experienced to date which does not exactly help one’s immune systems from being able to fight off new virus strains.

When we hear the word ‘malnutrition’, most people automatically think of images of 3^rd world countries, and people in Africa who are literally starving to death. However, hardly anyone ever thinks that Americans suffer from malnutrition? How could they, when 2/3 of Americans are so well padded? Well, the science is in on this now, and a new understanding of nutrition is going to be a growing wave, particularly after Saturn enters Virgo. It is not the quantity of food, but the ‘quality’ that determines whether your body receives any nutritional value at all. If the food is ‘doused’ with pesticides, then processed with a host of toxic chemicals and then cooked in polluted water, how can anyone expect to remain healthy? No wonder cancer and heart disease area among the countries biggest killers.

Are you being a good consumer by drinking your milk and eating pork – the other white meat? If so, then you’ve been successfully hypnotized by the pervasive marketing campaigns of the Dairy and Pork industry. When in reality, both of these foods are major contributors to this country’s growing health crisis and obesity epidemic. Let’s take pork for example, haven’t you always wondered why eating anything from a pig is considered ‘unkosher’? The word ‘Kosher’ is Hebrew for Purity. Both Jews and Muslims consider eating pork to be impure. Why? Because of it’s little split hooved feet? Well, that’s what the old testament says. But in actuality, the reason lies in the fact that Pigs Don’t Sweat. That’s right, through perspiration, most animals can release their toxins, but if you don’t have any sweat glands, then it all gets held under the skin, which is why pigs grow so fat. Eating their meat means that you’re also ingesting all of their toxins. Ever notice how after eating pork, your intestines become, well, gassy? That’s your body trying to break down the toxins by creating the good bacteria it needs to digest this toxic meat. Notice how you feel a little tired after eating pork? That’s because before pigs are slaughtered they are tranquilized, and the tranquilizers stay in the meat. Eaten regulalry over time, your body builds up it’s own supply of toxins, which leads to heart disease and cancer. It’s not just about trimming the fat from your meats, but having more awareness of what’s in your meat.

The Cattle Industry Marketing Campaign has also done a hypnotic number on Americans, convincing everyone that it takes a doublecheeseburger to make kids happy. Happy Meals do not lead to happiness nor healthy kids. Most beef that is available to consumers comes from cows raised on antibiotics and hormones, which are in their meat and their dairy products. When children are given these growing amounts of anitbiotics in their food plus the antibiotics they are given when they’re sick, they eventually create a resistance to antibiotics and when they really need them, they fail to work. Do we really need more hormones? The hormones in meat affect the natural hormonal reactions in children, which is causing them to go through puberty earlier as well as having to face a host of chemical disorders. Dairy products are the biggest culprit in intestinal disorders, as well as the fact that most dairy consumers are unaware of their bodies intolerance and insensitivity to it, while they have become used to living with medications to help them with digestion and allergic reactions. Thankfully there is a growing wave of doctors who are becoming aware of this, and for those not bound by placating to the industry, will recommend their patients eliminate dairy altogether. When they do, their IBS, constipation, heartburn, flatulence and frequency of getting colds and flus, seems to magically disappear! Not to mention a huge reduction in their cholesterol and weight.

Jupiter's influence is on socio-political issues. Jupiter returned to its home sign of Sagittarius on November 23, 2006 where it hangs out through December 19, 2007 and begins a new level of growth and expansion. But before we begin to delineate the New Year with Jupiter in Sagittarius, let's make sure that the recent Jupiter cycle has been received and understood, because even though there is a difference in energies being emitted, they are linked as one cycle inextricably affects the next. Let's just say in a nutshell, that Jupiter's entry into Sagittarius will affect Laws, particularly the Legislative arms of governments, creating major legal battles that culminate in far reaching court decisions as Jupiter conjuncts Pluto at the Galactic Center’s Black Hole in December of 2007.

Jupiter in Sagittarius is a time of heroism, optimism and expanding our gratitude for life’s blessings, it’s kind of like having Thanksgiving all year round. The influence is designed to expand one’s perceptions and ‘to boldly travel where no man has gone before’. Religious fanaticism comes to a head, especially when Jupiter conjuncts Pluto as it aligns with the Galactic Center’s Black Hole at the end of 2007 which begins the end of Theocracy. In fact, all kinds of fanaticisms and extremists, even those not affiliated with any particular religion shows imbalances in the inner nature. Failure can be where life’s greatest lessons are learned.

Awareness is needed here, as this aspect can also produce new religions and new cults, something the world does not need any more of. The radical (Uranian energy) concept of "God Without Religion" gets readdressed during this phase as there are a growing number of spiritual people who have already embraced this concept and are already living their lives unaffiliated to any organized religion yet are spiritually fulfilled nonetheless.

At the center of our Galactic Center exists a Black Hole. Black holes are vortexes of energy that sucks everything into its irreversible force field. As Pluto completes its transit over the Galactic Center’s Black Hole together with expansive Jupiter, they will act as a giant vacuum for our shadow beliefs, battles and negativity while purging all the out worn old patterns from the past as the black hole energetically sucks it up to be cleansed, transmuted and requalified back into the universe.

Everything in the universe works in polarities. The polarity of Sagittarius is Gemini, which is the sign of communication and the story of good and evil symbolized by the twins, Castor and Pollux. It is the sign that represents duality and plays a good ‘devil’s advocate’ when necessary, however, it is also the sign associated with judgment. When Jupiter aligns with Pluto at the end of 2007, the message is to let go of false images. What are false images? False images, are judgments that you hold in your mind about a particular subject, person or thing.

During Jupiter’s influence through the sign of laws and legislature (Sagittarius) expect to see many changes in policies, amendments and new laws being written and old laws becoming obsolete.

Sagittarius explores the 'other' through travel, education and expanding our horizons through foreign cultures. It has been said that travel can serve to define us with respect to other cultures. We come to see who we are by contrasting ourselves with others. When we live with like people we don't get that mirror. One thing certain about Jupiter’s transit through its home sign of Sagittarius is everyone can expect to expand their knowledge of other cultures whether by design or by default. This influence has to do with a sense of unity consciousness that expands beyond cultural and religious differences, well at least that would be one of the highest expressions of this cycle.

Jupiter makes its first square to Uranus in January of 2007, and it literally does a cosmic dance throughout the year with Uranus as both planets retrograde back and forth squaring off again in May and the Fall of 2007.

Something to ponder: "What weighs nothing and yet is powerful enough to start a war? A belief." ~ Unknown

This aspect has been known to produce a "bolt out of the blue" kind of experience. It represents revolution because of its impatience with restrictions to become liberated and free of limitations. This aspect indicates a tremendous release of energy, which in light of the present world situation will produce a showdown and conflict before liberation is achieved.

There is a documentary/movie sweeping the world now, called The Secret (The Secret DVD) that illustrates how we create and recreate our realities every day and every moment through our thoughts and feelings. Imagine this: if enough people employed the principles of The Secret to change the landscape of American politics there would be sweeping groundbreaking changes. Hmmm. With Jupiter in Sagittarius, the potential is there, but the question is, will enough people be doing it together?

Critical mass is when enough people are conscious of the same thing by using their consciousness towards progressive change. Critical mass can be as little as 7%-10% of the population, which may seem like a small number, but history tells us, that it is enough to effect and influence the rest of the group. Group consciousness has power, we all know that. If the principles of freedom are important enough to people, then what you focus on will grow. Jupiter’s influence is that of expansion. To some, Freedom is considered a lofty ideal, but to others, it is the only choice. When we reflect back on the Masters and Forefathers who founded America, freedom was their foundation and goal for future generations. That’s us! It’s up to us to nurture that, and make sure that rogue elements that have other agendas for America are defeated. The influence of Sagittarius is laws. We are free or bound by our laws. This is where the energy must go, that as current trends change, so must the laws. As more research, science and truth emerges, it needs to be reflected into laws to preserve the freedoms that matter most.

The Jupiter square Uranus energy can sweep the religious landscape cross the board, it is not limited to one particular religion or belief system. It can be a cleansing to outworn patterns and belief systems that no longer serve our present reality. Uranus is the great liberator, and in Pisces, it is serving to break up all the congealed energies of ages of abuse and victim consciousness. This square also indicates the emergence of old conflicts held between religious factions, such as Christianity and Islam which are ‘dying’ to be reborn. The desire in the square is to produce liberation. Freedom is Healing. Oftentimes, situations must worsen before they get better, kind of like the common cold. But when cleared, the body is free of toxins, so be it with these two religious groups who have ancient knots to work out with one another.

Jupiter in Sagittarius creates optimism, and during its square to Uranus, it is optimism with action. Squares are energy fields that carry the most intense energy, because both planets need to negotiate space in a 90 degree energy field. Conflict leads to resolution through compromise and sometimes one side will overpower the other, only to be balanced out on another issue later. Kind of like a tennis game.

On a more secular level, the square between Jupiter and Uranus can cause the socio-political landscape to have a tendency to bite off more than it can chew. The tendency towards over reaching and pretentiousness in the political arenas can lead towards disappointments. It is important to remember that everyone does not perceive reality the way you or I may at this time, which is why education (Jupiter’s realm) needs to be a primary goal this year.

Another radical idea that begins to grow under this aspect, is the awareness of the many different gods that are worshipped throughout the world’s religions as Extra Terrestrials who once seeded our planet with their ways and control issues. Remember as we evolve, so do these ancient gods. Once this awareness becomes ‘global’ and there is a critical mass consciousness of these possibilities (some will call them historical facts), it will no doubt change the already changing face of the world’s most established religions. Education will expand on the subjects of Aliens, ETs and Inter Dimensionals. UFOlogy and Exopolitics will one day take its place as required subjects in universities for those majoring in political science.

Uranus has long been seen as the rebel rouser and revolutionary. Uranus is always the ‘wild card’, as it’s lightening like nervous energetic pulse loves to surprise us. Its passage around the sun shows us what areas get aroused while Uranus is completing its trek through Pisces separating from its mutual reception with Neptune in Aquarius in 2008. By that time, the technology needs to be in place to begin to wean us off of fossil fuels and foreign oil.

Pluto enters Capricorn in 2008 and Uranus in Aries will catch up with Pluto in Capricorn at 8 degrees of Aries and square off. The potential for a showdown, battle, war, nuclear explosion or even an asteroid scathing the earth, lies in this challenging and dangerous aspect. How we choose to use this energy is up to where and how we choose to focus our energies.

There is much undoing that needs to be done. The events set in motion over the past 5 years and the choices made between now and the 2010-2012 time period will determine if this aspect will manifest as the explosive energy it potentially possesses, or it if will be the necessary catalyst for positive world change.

Pluto in Capricorn indicates the beginning of a New World Order. We already see the connectedness and influence on the economic global community through the influence of corporations. Pluto’s trek through the sign of power, authority and ‘business’ will transform the way the world does business. Together with Saturn in Virgo for a brief time, there will be a supporting aspect between Pluto and Saturn, which means that the work Saturn does in its 2-1/2 year trek through Virgo, will jumpstart Pluto’s initiation into authority-minded Capricorn. It will lead to the overthrow and rebirth of governments. Iraq’s destiny will unfold during Pluto in Capricorn which may be very different than what is intended now as it has become a rogue empire and the potential for another power struggle with its neighbor Iran is more than likely.

The USA will be having its very first Pluto return in Capricorn which actually won’t take place till 2022, but the issues will build up beginning with Pluto’s entry into Capricorn in 2008. Pluto in Capricorn also marks the emergence of the feminine energy which means at some point within that phase, America is destined to have a woman as President. Pluto enters Capricorn on January 27, 2008 where it will stay until January 22, 2024 when Pluto will enter into Aquarius. Pluto is exalted in Aquarius, which means it’s the best place for Pluto to express itself. It is the planet of transformation in the sign of change, revolution and technology. Many astrologers believe that Pluto’s entry into Aquarius is the forerunner to the official entry into the Aquarian Age which is scheduled to begin in between 2050 and 2100 as a time of peace, brotherhood and healing for Planet Earth. But before that time arrives, there will be many battles over power on all levels which we must contend with collectively.

"Most men occasionally stumble over the truth, but most pick themselves up and continue as if nothing happened." ~ Winston Churchill

As always, we are faced with a choice: American Freedoms or The End of Democracy?

New Martial Law powers were granted to the Bush administration this passed October in the Military Commissions Act of 2006, suspending the writ Habeas Corpus to aliens, which is our constitutional right to demand a trial before being convicted of a crime. In America, our judicial system says, we are innocent until proven guilty, but unfortunately that is clearly not the way Americans are treated when incarcerated. Suspension of the writ of habeas corpus is suppose to apply only to resident aliens (the foreign national kind, not the Ets) within the United States as well as other foreign nationals captured here and abroad as it is not suppose to restrict the rights, freedoms and liberties of U.S. citizens. What if there’s some kind of confusion as to who’s an illegal alien and who is not? It has always been a sacred tenet of our Democracy that the U.S. military should not be deployed AGAINST American citizens. But literally in the dead of night and almost without comment, an amendment to the Insurrection Act was slipped into the recently passed Defense Authorization bill stating, and get this:

"the President may employ the armed forces, including the National Guard in Federal service, to restore public order and enforce the laws of the United States when . . . the President determines that domestic violence has occurred"

The whole concept of the president as an unaccountable determiner, or "decider", insulated from any kind of oversight by Congress or the Courts has been the hallmark of the Cheney/Bush executive coup.

The Military Commissions Act that Bush signed basically strips Americans of their inalienable rights, such as the right to protest. The election happened during a Mercury Retrograde and a Moon Wobble which produced similar irregularities of the 2004, and 2000 Elections, because in 6 years, nobody did anything to change the flawed system of electronic voting machines.

One thing, to keep in mind for those of you who think all this is just some nutty conspiracy is, one day, you may be surprised to learn that it's all true, and yes, conspiracies do happen in the United States of America, and yes, sometimes people wake up to facts and truth too late.

This is why I am offering Aaron Russo’s documentary here on my website, Freedom to Fascism

which not only focuses on the rogue tax laws that everyone has had to endure, but the upcoming National ID Card which will be required for every citizen by May of 2008, along with how NAFTA

and CAFTA are affecting our freedom of choices or lack of as the case may be.

Saturn in Virgo = Papers Please!

I am reminded of a time in our history during WWII when there were stories and rumors of large numbers of people being burned and gassed to death in Europe. Many thought it was a conspiracy at the time. Then they woke up. The rest is history.

History repeats itself, because like children, humanity learns through repetition. Do we really need to go through this again? Or perhaps fighting and exposing fascism needs to be a constant vigil in this country?

We have been lied to that the enemy is all around us " look again " the enemy is within! Empires have always crumbled in this way.

Here's what we need to do to eradicate voter fraud and tampering. Boycott Voting machines! Imagine what would happen if every American chose to 'absentee vote'. Election Officials would have to count and scan each and every vote, and there would be accountability because it's on paper. Sure, it would cost postage, and just to make sure, we would need to double the postage, but it still costs less than gas to get to the polls, and it can be an enjoyable civic duty. Instead of standing around waiting on long lines on Election Day, you can sit around your kitchen table with a cup of tea or java and go through each and every vote conscientiously, patiently and thoroughly. You can take the time to read through the Blue book, you can even discuss your views and opinions with your loved ones. Just make sure to mail it in on time and you can avoid the stress of getting to the polls on Election Day. Think of it as a 'peaceful' protest to electronic voting machines and Diebold and the arms of our governments that bought them and put them in place.

After two dubious Elections, I refused to use those machines. I opted for an absentee ballot. I was intrigued to learn that nearly half of the registered votes in Colorado did the same thing. Perhaps we should start a trend? I was also not surprised to hear of the disastrous voting lines in Denver on Election Day during Mercury Retrograde and the Moon Wobble, I expected there to be system breakdown somewhere and lo & behold there it was in my own backyard. After hours of waiting on line to vote, 20,000 voters were turned away while lawyers went to court to plead with the judge to leave the polls open later. According to the Rocky Mountain Post, an estimated 20,000 voters never bothered returning. This is unacceptable! 20,000 voters could have changed the outcome of certain local elections, which is why many felt the whole fiasco was sabotage.

If they don't eradicate voter fraud through doing away with the electronic voting machines, do we as American Citizens have any other choice? We need to boycott them. Sure, it's a bit of a beaurocratic rigamorole to send in for the form and then take the necessary steps to mail it back (or you do have the option of dropping it off to your closest precinct by hand). But what a small price to pay, for us to claim our power back from this corrupt system? With electronic voting, there is no paper form to prove that anything ever happened. In fact, if there's an error and it gets logged into the system, there is no way of telling that that vote was legal or illegal.

2011 will be a major turning point in American politics and its legislature as America will be having it’s Saturn return at 14 degrees of Libra. This will cause a major rehauling of the law books making it imperative to bring the laws up to date and up to speed with current reality. Take the Electoral College for example, a system that is way passed its due date. Systems and laws that have expired will be altered from legislature. Between the voting process and the outdated Electoral College, America’s vote, the heart of America’s Democratic process will be changed by 2013. The eclipse of the GC initiates change in the US chart, Mars conjuncts the US Pluto, while Saturn is in Scorpio then, causing major upheavals and a complete transformations of the way this country is run.

The American process is built on the will of the people. But how many of us care enough to get involved? Did you know that if you call your Senators and Representatives and tell them your opinion and how you want them to vote on your behalf that they actually have to listen and pay attention to you? Did you know that one phone call to them equals several hundred people, which is how they calculate the influence in their constituency. This is encouraging, because if you're the type of person who feels like, how could you, just one voice actually make a difference? The truth is, you can and your one voice can be compared to compound interest. It goes farther than you think. For all of you who see yourself as conscious and caring citizens, put it on your daily list of things to do, and call and email your Senators and Representatives.

Get involved. This is a time where Americans need to claim their power back in the American process. Apathy, despondency and disenchantment needs to be overcome. Your voice, your influence and your energies are needed now more than ever. Anger was a major motivating force that got Americans to the polls for the Midterm Elections. Why stop now?

Did you call and email your Congressman today? Why not? What's stopping you?

Saturn moves into Virgo on Sept 3, 2007 where it will stay through October 30, 2009. Saturn in Virgo is the return to Science with a focus on secular thinking. It represents down to earth practical and useful methods of creating more efficiency in our lives. Expect new technologies, which will come in the areas of health, hygiene, the environment, service to others, the military and all the laws governing therewith. With it will come new methods and techniques with a strong emphasis on making adjustments to out-of-date methods and patterns that are just not measuring up anymore for the good of all concerned. The good news is, if there ever was a time for Environmentalism that time will come with Saturn’s trek through Virgo.

"The significant problems we face cannot be solved at the same level of consciousness we were at when we created them." ~ Albert Einstein

After the spectacular Jupiter/Pluto conjunction happens simultaneously just months after Saturn enters Virgo on September 3, 2007, as the conjunction separates it will send it’s messages to the "radio eyes and ears of the solar system", good ole Saturn! Saturn will get its new work assignment and begins its new phase of teaching and correction. Saturn’s influence wants to teach, it is the planet of patience, discipline, restriction and limitations, yet it’s by far one of the most magnificent and awesome planetary energy fields, which is true both astronomically and astrologically.

Virgo is the sign of Cleanliness and you can bet your bottom dollar that a major effort will be underway to clean up the planet when Saturn settles into Virgo. Virgo is symbolized by the Goddess of the Harvest. Saturn rules the laws of sowing and reaping. There will be a sense of urgency during Saturn’s trek through Virgo to correct what is being reaped environmentally. It will be a Global effort. There will be a new wave of recycling efforts sweeping the globe and a push for a more conservative approach towards how we use our planet’s resources.

Green becomes the New Black

"Today more customers are demanding that companies they do business with are "green". Consumers are looking for companies that have strict standards of not only treating their customers well, but also a set of guidelines in place that ensure safe treatment of the environment." ~ Nov/Dec 2006 Better Business Bureau News.

Saturn rules structure and form which is why it has rulership over Capricorn, the sign of control and authority. Saturn phases always set new Trends, whether that be in fashion, entertainment, science or law. About half way thru Saturn’s trek thru Virgo, November of 2008, Saturn will oppose Uranus, which will create lots of competition and battles over freedom of expression. The opposition will give us all a new reality check as the Uranian energy ‘blows away’ some old crusty patterns.

Virgo’s colors are all shades of muted greens and navy (which are uniform colors). Because of Mercury’s rulership over Virgo, Virgo rules the Military as well as all service oriented industries that work in groups. After Saturn enters Virgo, watch fashion colors change to all different funky shades of green, from chartreuse to sage to frog green. Earth colors will also be ‘in’. Different shades of browns, moss green, water colors, etc. Fashions retrograde around every 30 years, which is a Saturn cycle, just look back on the last time Saturn was in Virgo from 1978-1980 and many of those trends will be back. Remember the Mod Squad Brown and Orange patterns?

There will also be a return and renaissance toward recruiting for the following professions: Nursing, Healthcare and the Military. In fact, with Saturn in Virgo, the possibility of reinstating the draft in America within its 2-1/2 year period is very high. Should America overextend itself in the Middle East, reinstating the draft will be a given. Other professions that will become popular are environmentalists, scientists, engineers, chemists, geneticists, researchers and investigators. Watch how many science grants are given during this phase. It will be increasingly harder for the Bush Administration (who are on their way out) to use their power to suppress real science when the overwhelming facts and results don’t align with their agenda. Stem Cell Research, and the Human Genome Project to understand and unravel Human DNA in relations to foods and drugs will make strides in their progress with Saturn in Virgo. The Pharmaceutical Industry will undergo vigorous and continued scrutiny as will the FDA during this phase and there will be continued battles over rights to healthcare, the efficacy of supplements and the truthful disclosure of ingredients.

"Litigation: A machine which you go into as a pig and come out of as a sausage." ~ Ambrose Bierce (American Writer, Journalist and Editor, 1842-1914)

Saturn in Virgo’s punishing type of judgment will come down hard on big Pharma. There will be much stricter standards to comply with and more testing (Saturn’s realm) to contend with before releasing potentially toxic chemicals (pharmaceuticals) to the public.

In 2006, Merck had a $250 million judgment against them and over 16,000 more cases waiting to be heard. August 17, 2006 - Bloomberg - A jury ordered Merck & Co. to pay $51 million to a former FBI agent because its Vioxx painkiller caused his heart attack, the company's fourth loss in nine trials.

On November 1, 2006, the Associated Press reported that Glaxo had agreed to pay $63.8 million to settle a class action lawsuit with allegations that Glaxo promoted Paxil for use with children and adolescents while withholding negative information about the drug's safety and effectiveness. Ortho-McNeil Facing More Legal Battles Over Its Ortho Evra Birth-Control Patch, November 6th, 2006.

Ortho-McNeil, makers of the controversial and potentially dangerous Ortho Evra birth-control patch, continues to deal with significant legal challenges. The new suit marks the 100th filed by law firms in cases related to the patch.

The World Health Organization (WHO) is calling for global cooperation, political commitment and creative solutions to counter what it describes as the silent epidemic of counterfeit medicines. At an international conference in Rome the body is aiming to put together a global task force to focus on legislation, law enforcement and innovative technology solutions.

In fact the number of people who die every year from accidental overdoses and adverse reactions to pharmaceutical drugs are in the hundreds of thousands. According to the groundbreaking 2003 medical report Death by Medicine, by Drs. Gary Null, Carolyn Dean, Martin Feldman, Debora Rasio and Dorothy Smith, 783,936 people in the United States die every year from conventional medicine mistakes. The startling findings from this meticulous study indicate that complications from conventional medicine has become "the leading cause of death" in the United States surpassing the 680,000 a year who die from heart disease many of which are in that category because of adverse reactions to drugs. Statistics prove that prescription drugs are 16,400% more deadly than terrorists.

And the list goes on…Saturn in Virgo will create more scrutiny in the fields of medicine, some of which may cause serious losses to the industry which gives them the opportunity to regroup and focus their attention on medicines that do work. Saturn’s judgment and punishing effect will come down hard on any ‘false science’ that is trying to be passed as truth. If researchers want to be taken seriously, then they will have to measure up to the standards of clinical research. This will affect companies who have their own agenda, who market their products by using false research to support their claims.

A bad habit never disappears miraculously; it's an undo-it-yourself project. – Abigail Van Buren

The good news is, that the opportunity for scrutinizing present tax laws, or lack of them as the case may be, will shift during Saturn’s Virgo cycle. This will most likely happen by the end of the cycle. Efforts are already underway to transform the IRS and its monster beaurocracy.

"There is nothing new under the sun." ~ King Solomon

Implantation is not a new concept. Our Extra-Terrestrial Creators have used implants on us since our inception. Just as we tag birds and wildlife, implants have been used to tag, monitor and control us. Trust me, they are for real, because they are microscopic, they are easily inserted through body orifices, nasal cavities, ear canals and eyeballs, all leading to prominent places in the brain, where the implant works. Vaccinations are another vehicle for implantation. There are also implants that are placed into one’s holographic energy field, which manifest in the physical body affecting one’s emotional and spiritual life in a myriad of ways. The awareness of holographic implants will become more prominent during Saturn in Virgo’s phase. Holographic implants require spiritual and mental clarity to discern between the many layers of the human hologram, and many of these implants are cleverly placed in between these layers so clairvoyants can not readily see them. Not all implants are beneficial to the human experience, some are very controlling, others are necessary to having a life in 3D reality. Many are used as communication devices.

As it goes with all technology, the technology itself is neutral, it all depends on how it is used which determines whether it’s beneficial or detrimental. One needs to be aware of both uses as nanotechnology becomes a new wave in the application of science.

Hydrogen fuel cells will be cost competitive by 2010. Fuel cells will power cars and allow each home to have its own non-polluting electricity generator.

Weapons of mass destruction will be even easier to obtain over the next 15 years. Terrorists may move from bombs to creating havoc on the cellular level. The weapons of the future—genetic engineering and nanotechnology—require neither large facilities nor mass materials.

The convergence of genetic engineering, nanotechnology and robotics will allow humans to change their bodies in profoundly new ways. In the next 15 years, people may be able to rearrange their genes to change their physical features, extend their lifespan, merge their brains with computers and their bodies with robots, among many other remarkable developments.

It’s probably best to grow a thicker skin to criticism as when Saturn enters Virgo they’ll be lots to go around! Saturn is known as the Lord of Karma, the Celestial Teacher and Taskmaster. Its job is to correct, adjust and return us to a perfect state of balance, this is why Saturn is exalted in Libra (the sign of Balance and Justice), which will happen from 2009-2012. But before that phase brings us to the crescendo of the Grand Eclipse of the Galactic Center on the Winter Solstice of 2012, Saturn’s trip through Virgo has some very important lessons to teach our planet first in the areas of the environment, food, diet, healthcare and the need for greater efficiency in the work place. Sir Isaac Newton’s Third Law of Motion states: "For every action there is an equal and opposite reaction". This statement can also be said to represent the Law of Karma.

Karma is therefore that which Man…has instituted, carried forward, endorsed, omitted to do, or has done right, through the ages until the present moment. Today the harvest is ripe and mankind is reaping what it has sown, preparatory to a fresh ploughing in the springtime of the New Age, with a fresh sowing of the seed which will (let us hope and pray) produce a better harvest. ~Alice Bailey, Esoteric Astrology

Best Advice: Be as pedantic as you can be during this period. Dot your "i's" and cross your "t's", keep your nose to the grindstone, so whoever your taskmaster may be - will have nothing, or very little to pull you up on. If so, remember this is only another course in learning and evolution for our souls.

Because of Saturn’s exaltation in Libra, the decisions and choices one makes is karmic business. According to Saturn, we are responsible for every choice and decision we make about our lives, each all yeilding to the universal laws of sowing and reaping. No exceptions. Sometimes, we make good choices and for those we benefit greatly. Other times we make not so good choices, and we suffer for those and those are our lessons. But what if we are consistently making poor choices for ourselves, because of the environment we live in, and conciously we don’t know any better, and/or emotionally we couldn’t care less anyway? What if we’re making choices because we’ve had one suggestion after another implanted into our subconsious minds over our whole lives and never even knew we were being hypnotized all along, until one day, we wake up and learn the facts, and may I add, many are not so lucky as they get sick and die before realizing that there were other choices.

The rings of Saturn are symbolic of limitations and represent the parameters of the Law of Karma. There is also another important term in the esoteric doctrine that the rings characterizes the karmic nature and functions of Saturn which is "The Dweller on the Threshold". The "Dweller" known as the Shadow Self, represents those parts of our personality which have not been redeemed or transformed by the loving agencies of the Soul. This is a place
