This may be a very uncomfortable time for us.
We have alot of squares and oppositions.
Pluto r. is still square our Natal 5th House Neptune r.
The war goes on, and the misuse of technology escalates.
Pluto r is in sinister opposition to Natal 1st House Mars.
That means Pluto has gone beyond the degree of opposition.
This can create a whiplash effect in our lives,
bringing more violence and abusive conditions.
This is compounded by transiting Mars in Aries
in sinister square to our Part of Fortune.
We have to manage our anger better.
It leaves us irritated.
The Sun and Moon conjunct in Cancer
square our 5th House Saturn in Libra.
Saturn is exalted in Libra and gives executive qualities.
Here the Sun and Moon stimulate Saturn
to be more conscientious and compassionate.
We are growing our soul thru the experiences
we've gone thru since Sept 11th.
If we don't grow, then the experiences were a waste.
Grow we must, for a greater world. (smile)
That's a play on words. When I was a kid growing up
in NYC, the slogan was
"Grow (Dig...) we must for a greater New York".
I think that was it. And it's true.
Unless we grow, we implode.
We can't stay the same.
We just have to face it.
We have a responsibility to each other
to make peace,
to keep the air and water and land clean,
to keep our hearts clean toward each other.
And no one knows that better or can handle it better
than the country with Saturn in Libra in the 5th House.
Be happy to grow.
There is still so much good to do with our little lifetimes.
As long as the choice is ours,
why not just take the high road.
If we reach for the summit, we will get there.
Now Jupiter is conjuncting our Saturn in Libra,
and at the same time squares our Natal Sun in Cancer.
Don't fret, don't give up....grow.
Jupiter wants to explode with this square to the Sun;
Saturn wants to prevent the splattering
when we pre-emptively hit the proverbial fan.
Jupiter thrusts, Saturn waits, watches and learns.
This can all be very positive if we don't let emotions
bog us down with resentment and paranoia.
Mercury and Venus come in to rescue our raggediness
with a reminder to be loving and thoughtful.
They sextile Saturn for a week and then move on,
hoping we'll remember the lessons Love and Forbearance teach
when we're in the clinches.
If we don't, Jupiter is sure to disrupt the equillibrium.
It has a short fuse squaring our Part of Fortune.
There are lessons we can't avoid.
Transiting Jupiter in Libra and
Transiting Mars in Aries oppose each other.
Both square our Part of Fortune.
No time to waste. We must save our souls now.
Forget the t.v. and the jewelry.
Get on with it.
Love your neighbor as you love yourself.
Do unto others as you would have others do unto you.
You are your brother's keeper.
And never forget it.
We're all so sick of the coldness.
Come in from the cold.
The rest of us are here waiting for you.
Waiting to hearld your return to Paradice Consciousness.
Be brave. Others will mock you when you're kind.
But if you're not, how will they ever know
the value of kindness?
Those of us that are able to love,
with the same love we gave as a child....
can do this.
At the very least, if we do nothing else,
we can pray for each other!
With Uranus sextile our Part of Fortune,
anything can happen,
even the most unlikely....
that our human family could even come to agreement
on our responsibility to each,
to protect and insure quality of life for all,
to the best of our ability.
If we can strive for that,
we will see Peace in our lifetime.
Uranus also squares our Natal Sun in Cancer.
It's our choice. The assistance we need
to transform our mundane caustic attitudes
is available thru the trine to the Sun,
and the sextile to the Part of Fortune.
This is our key. Open the door of your heart
and walk out of the madness.
Be real. Listen to yourself.
Be who you want to be.
Don't give in to bullies.
Learn patience, show love and understanding.
It's such an easy road to embark on.
The first step is the hardest.
Do it for Love.
Do it for Mother Earth.
Do it for yourself...and the rest of us
who share that Self.
Although the Sun and Moon are in opposition to our
Part of Fortune, they've already gone past the degree
by the New Moon, and will move quickly on to
conjunct our Natal Mercury r. in Cancer.
This Mercury r. is our big problem.
A National consciousness that is anal retentive.
Wont give up the blankey.
Natally it is in opposition to Pluto r. in Capricorn.
Oh the devestation we have wrought on mankind
because of this configuration.
Pay attention to it, because at this time,
Saturn opposes that Pluto and is sinister conjunct
our Natal Mercury r.
Saturn plops itself difiantly
in our most sensitive hiding place,
the Mind.
We are tested to see if we have realized yet
any progress from our efforts over the past 14 years
since Saturn conjuncted our Pluto r.
There has been a great deal of progress
in the creation of new technologies.
We have become more aware of the effects
of our presence in this world, and now we must learn
how to counter balance those effects
that are harming our environment and all of life.
If we don't pay attention, if we don't modify our behavior,
Pluto r. will have it's way with us.
Pluto is the planet that rules creation and destruction.
It breaks down everything rigid and unyielding.
We absolutely don't want to test it's power or challenge it.
It rules over generations.
Our children's children will have to pay for our
errors of judgement.
This is a very criticl time astrologically for America.
It's arrogant and foolhardy for us to think,
that although we make an effort to do good,
we've still got to repair to the wrongs we done to each other.
If you've treated me so poorly that I'm afraid of you,
then an apology is not enough.
To trust you again, I must see the "new you"
thru many seasons.
I want to test your sincerity.
We have to give our neighbors time to trust us again.
If we had gone to Darfur and protected the innocent
who were being masacred
and still are to this very day,
by their neighbors,
we could have regained the respect and cooperation
of the world community,
who then would have rushed in to assist us after Sept 11th.
Instead we went to commint more genocide
on a people, because we suspected their involvement.
When all the time it was Iraq.
Everyone know that. I knew that just from watching the news
and investigating how people in other lands felt.
This is that anal retentive Mercury r. in Cancer
I was talking about.
We have 5 oppositions at this time.
Some will last only a day or so,
others will stay for the long haul,
and prove our value or lack of it.
Oppositions bring confrontations from outside sources.
Conjunctions are situations and attitudes that we create.
So we need to pay attention.
we don't know it all. And though we write laws,
we are not above them.
And we are not above the laws of Nature.
If we weren't so bigoted and self righteous as a Nation,
we would have already absorbed the wisdom
of ancient cultures and deport ourselves
with more intelligence.
But we missed first grade and went straight to second.
Now we have to go back to first and do it all over again.
Do it joyfully. There's no time to waste.
Things will change in the twinkling of an eye.
If our consciousness is in harmony with Nature,
the negative potential will not manifest.
The positive wave will overtake it,
and we wont have to divert
what seems inevitable.
Have Faith in the goodness that exists in the Universe,
for us to pick up on.
Don't waste this chance America.
Put the weapons down.
Return the metals to the earth.
In one lifetime (mine, 62 years now),
we've turned so much of the earth's resourses to lead
thru expending them in horrible wars
that degrade everything everywhere.
We are shameless and confused.
We must take stock of ourselves,
and return to the goodness hiding deep in our hearts.
It begs to come forth...turn the key
and restore yourself to the Paradice Consciousness
we all were created to express
for the benefit of the Universe.
Just be honest and caring,
and the rest of the puzzle will fit in place.
Peace out.
