“LIKE A CIVIL WAR BUT WITHOUT WEAPONS”
By wisdom | July 22, 2010
Our nation is very divided now. In Winter 2006, I wrote about this in an article called Karmic Waves (Dell Horoscope, May 2006). It’s a situation caused by Saturn finally (by July 26th) finishing a long, long opposition to Uranus, and other enduring aspects too. One way of describing this is Tradition versus Progress. Here’s what I wrote over four years ago:
“People will be unhappy about the economy, their personal prospects, and local as well as international issues… Perhaps the deep divide worsens in our nation, and the polarization of the population that we’ve been seeing steadily splits us into something like a mid-section versus two coasts – almost like a Civil War but without weapons. My intuition tells me that it’s political…”
We are in the grip of rare and distressing patterns very much like the era of the actual Civil War. Here’s what I wrote regarding this, in another article called Destiny in the Balance (Dell, January 2010), written a year ago, in May 2009:
“Current transits show Uranus opposite Saturn, a pulling apart, and later Uranus square Pluto, the release of hidden tensions through the drastic restructuring indicative of revolutionary change.”
Quietly, for the most part without fighting in the streets, America has become a divided country. The fissure isn’t as visible as, say, North versus South… but it’s there. Friends against friends; family members against each other; people afraid to openly discuss the rend lest the mere conversation itself tear apart the fabric of the relationship. The fragility of the wound is such that hardly anything is being written astrologically about these momentous forces.
It’s political; it’s ideological; and now it even seems to be racial. Yes, racial! Can you believe it?! The Obama presidency, rather than being a unifier, has become the catalyst for the Great Divide. The White House, writes Jonah Goldberg in the New York Post (7/17/10) “seems particularly gifted at generating issues that put it crosswise with the majority of voters.” Is this surprising? Here’s what I wrote in the same above-mentioned article:
“President Obama’s Mars squares the U.S. Mars tightly, frequently pitting his motivation squarely against the national interest, and sometimes working at cross purposes in our struggles against our nation’s enemies.”
An astrological statement like this is not the by-product of a biased leaning, but simply the prediction of mathematical aspects. Especially the statements written before Obama even appeared on the political scene, the destiny was shown in the stars. Don’t forget Lincoln’s words: “A house divided against itself cannot stand.”
American Eagle Sheds Tear for WTC
So what do we do now? Can we abide losing America?! Saturn and Uranus are finishing their tense dance. Can we pull together against the forces that would destroy us from within? Who’s right or wrong? How should we be guided? What if the leaders are the problem, and the individuals are the solution?
I don’t know about you, but I’ll speak it: I love my friends. I love my family. I love my clients – of all colors, ages, and persuasions. I love America and what it stands for: Government “of the people, by the people, and for the people” which should not perish from this planet because of young-soul, misguided elected officials. Politely, and without bloodshed, the tide must be turned so that America heals the terrible schism and returns once more to “one nation, under God”, with a single diverse populace that embraces “E Pluribus Unum” (out of many, one). Otherwise, we’re back into the miseries of The Age of Pisces instead of the bright possibilities of The Age of Aquarius.

CHANNELED ANSWER TO READER’S CONCERN ABOUT UNEMPLOYMENT EXTENSION
By wisdom | July 1, 2010
FROM A READER: “THE ENTIRE NATION OF THE UNEMPLOYED” CRIES OUT IN PAIN, WAITING FOR UNEMPLOYMENT EXTENSION. ANY PREDICTIONS?
THE ANSWER GIVEN:
Great pain.
No leadership! Weak, ineffective leadership is the cause of great suffering.
Ask, then: What would you do if you realized that nobody “out there” or “on high” (i.e., government, God, etc.) can provide the solution? Here are a few ideas:
1. Become entrepreneurial. Find out what people want/need now, and provide it if you can. (Use anything available to you. Create.)
2. Barter. Go around the system. Find ways to give and take. Ask and ye shall receive. Just do. “Don’t explain. Don’t complain.” (Jackie Kennedy)
3. Nurture yourself. Love yourself. What shows you beauty? Find it, appreciate life through it. What makes your heart swell? Do it once in awhile. Can anybody help you find it? Seek them out, explain your need or idea. Co-create it.
4. Change the thought in the middle of it. No more victimhood! You are the world. Take your power!
So, in a nutshell, you who cry out in great pain, try this:
Go outside and walk around. Find something (big or small) that looks lovely and right with the world. Find a place to buy ice cream or a savory treat (cheap but tasty). As you eat it, delight in the satisfying taste. While the food goes down and you look at the beautiful item/scene/piece of the world, ponder what you love to do. (Don’t let fear or negative thoughts pop in at this stage – replace them quickly. Stay focused on the joyful thing. Everybody has that.)
Think this: is there any way I could do this that I enjoy that someone else will want? Will pay me for? Or will swap with me for? As the last bite goes down, see the seed of an idea being ingested as well. With the good food tidbit you just gave it, and with your heart warmed by earth’s beauty and your own creative juice, know that the seed has been planted.
It’s between you and your insides, not anyone in office or in control. Remember, they’re all useless! A new type of individual is coming forth – kind, creative, scared but heroic, anxious but bold.
The pull is from deep within where your gold lies (Pluto). Nurture your heart and others (Cancer). Be bold and fresh (Uranus in Aries), and success will follow (Jupiter in Aries). Be fair and considerate (Saturn in Libra). Use the challenge of the times to bring about a new world order (Grand Cardinal Cross) – no more complaints until you try this, OK?
Who bakes, knits, sews? Gives tech help, tutors, coaches? Who does auto work? Who knows how to get clients? Fix a website? Organize a closet? Who’s good with pets? Who plays music?
Rich ones: where hasn’t the money helped or been enough? Where can it be sprinkled around to make a big or small difference? When did you eat a healthy home-cooked meal? Who cooks lots of those but can’t pay his phone bill?
Find each other online. Meet in a (safe, group) space to try a new way of sharing humanness together.
We didn’t think The Age of Aquarius was going to be quite this messy and chaotic to begin… but here it is. There’s no one coming. Bail out yourself.
The individual is strong.
The leader is weak.
The group is energized.
The system is puny.
The halls of power are hollow.
The local government has the mojo now.

JUPITER/URANUS CONJUNCT IN ARIES ~ URANUS STATIONING AT 0 ARIES ON THE WORLD DEGREE
By wisdom | June 18, 2010
Pioneering. Ground-breaking. Trail-blazing action. The sign of Aries. So many inventions and innovations: biodegradable, ecologically friendly, bringing new sources of energy and real solutions to clean up the oil spill, effectively, inexpensively.
The Mike Huckabee Report on Fox News recently featured real people coming up with some great innovations that will, for instance, allow a bird to land on an oil slick and not have anything stick to its feathers, or to use fiber or hay or other materials to soak oil and even benzenes out of polluted swamps and leave the water clean enough to drink! And from the magazine Popular Science this month (June ‘10 issue), there’s an article about future edifices that will use their own collected solar energy to heat and cool themselves… and another on highways that can collect the solar heat from the day and use it to power the cars.
Instead of being overwhelmed and beaten down, this ecological crisis will bring a surge – an incredible surge of creative invention using technology, the modern mind, and extreme need – a perfect combination, a kick-off to a new century.
We ain’t done yet!

The Oil Spill & “The Matrix”
By wisdom | June 15, 2010
In “The Matrix”, the Agent tells Morpheus that humanity is a virus, a smelly, polluting parasite upon the planet. The Agent is trying to weaken Morpheus’ will with these words. The words are powerful because they contain a grain of truth.
But Neo prevails. He has learned how to reprogram his mind. He has learned that he, and only he, controls his reality. Whatever previous truth about the human race might have existed before, he becomes living proof that one mind can become self-realized, self-reprogramed, self-aware. That One Mind is all-powerful, more powerful than the helpless, hapless earlier viewpoint.
So, are we the virus polluting the planet… or are we the raised consciousness, beginning to learn our power?
The enormity of the problem we’re looking at seems daunting. We feel helpless in its path. Who’s to blame for it hardly matters in the face of its devastation. Will darkness win?
Or is the human mind the single most powerful force in nature?
It’s a question of waking up.

THE OIL SPILL: “METAPHYSICS 101″
By wisdom | June 7, 2010
If, as the basic truism of metaphysics states, “as above, so below” (or “as within, so without”) – in other words, the outer world is a reflection of the inner – then what exactly is the oil spill?
Well, it’s slick and slimy. It’s dirty. It’s opaque, not transparent. It’s flammable and easily enflamed. It’s pouring forth. It soils everything it touches, and it spreads unstoppably, seeping into and around that which is clean, healthy and natural. What does this call to mind? What, in our world and in our nation, does this remind you of?
Politics? Of course.
It’s terrible. It’s blackening our lives and our minds as well as our ecology. It has been called forth by the tone of the times.
Capping the gusher will be accomplished by science, technology, innovation and raw effort, and then some inroads will be made to clean up the mess. But a deeper approach would be to bring light into a very dim place: government.
When the multitude truly wants the cleansing, and yearns for it as the very breath of life, then the real turnaround will begin.

WHAT’S WITH ALL THESE POLITICIANS: ARE THEY JUST YOUNG SOULS?
By wisdom | May 18, 2010
We’re certainly reading a lot about local, state, and even federal politicians who seem to have abused power primarily for self-aggrandizement and, in a few rare cases, for outright power trips. That’s not to say that all of them should be painted with the same brush but there’s been enough in the news to make the average person wonder what’s going on. I remember learning an excellent way of evaluating folks based upon the apparent age of the person’s soul. Everything from Infant to Old Souls was described, and at each level shown to have different types of values. The most prolific type of soul seemed to be the Young Soul, especially in this era in America. What is a young soul, and how is that being described? Well, of course it implies successive lifetimes, or reincarnations. If you can wrap your mind around that, then you can consider a soul who’s familiar with life having been around “on the wheel” a number of times, and who is ready for action yet always developing more wisdom, and has (as all youth does) still a long way to go. And that means still accumulating lots of experience that proves to be ultimately less than desirable. Young souls tend to be greedy for life’s cornucopia, and see those consequences only after the fact. Values, therefore, tend to be what can produce the most immediate gain without necessarily understanding the pitfalls of that pursuit. So, coming back to our politicians, we have a lot of people who are making grabs for the values described as power, money, or fame. Sometimes willing to step on others toes to do so, often more than willing to ignore repercussions, we have people who’ve gained office, who use a system set in place to allow self-government, and who are willing to take advantage of the position, the system, the influence gained, and the immediate rewards without regard to the karma these actions incur. Some of that karma will now bite back. Thankfully, the system also allows the means for these abuses to be rejected. The voters can vote them out. Notice I haven’t mentioned anything partisan because there are Young Souls on both sides of the aisle in local, state, and federal halls of power. In this era, with Pluto moving through the beginning degrees of Capricorn (sign of Big Business, Big Government, Big Banking), all these abuses are coming to light. They are being “out”-ed. It will be a rare Young Soul who will not find his/her behavior spotlighted and thrust into the cleansing outrage of the general public. Even this type of harsh result can be considered wonderful experience because it brings to each misguided young soul politico the beautiful light of wisdom. ~~~ This is a Level 3 posting.

ASTRO TIDBITS FOR MAY 2010
By wisdom | May 12, 2010
Are you feeling a little maddened by information glitches, or technological problems, or maybe even transportation issues? (Mercury retrograde.) Most matters of this sort will be resolved by May 11th. Otherwise, the month starts with a sweet romantic aspect on the 7th (Venus sextile Mars), followed by a favorable direction regarding land, real estate, and wealth from the 12th to 14th. (Mercury’s station direct in Taurus, well aspected to Pluto in Capricorn). Between the 17th to 18th, love and idealism enhance an upbeat feeling (Sun sextile Jupiter; Venus trine Neptune). The focus is on family, tradition and homeland on the 19th – 20th (Sun trine Saturn; Venus into Cancer). By the third week, slowdowns and innovation are the watchwords (Jupiter opposite Saturn; Sun sextile Uranus). Tension between traditionalists and progressives has been simmering – people’s attitudes are marked by either anger at frustrating limitations or an impatient urge for further change (Mars leaves the shadow of its retrograde; Saturn opposite Uranus). This push-pull will last through July, is especially emphasized over Memorial Day weekend, and because of its chronic uncertainty is undermining to the nation’s recovery (Saturn station direct opposite Uranus, quincunx Neptune). The holiday weekend is quite dynamic, with plenty of travel, plus plenty of philosophical discussion about everyone’s beliefs about our government…an effort to educate ourselves about the Constitution comes to a head (Full Moon in Sagittarius). False hopes are raised between 5/24th-29th (Jupiter quincunx Neptune). A tremendous crisis begins boiling over (Uranus enters Aries on the world degree, starting to form the cardinal t-square with Pluto and Saturn).
For America, mid-month is a time of diplomacy but the goals of recovery continue to be delayed (Mercury station direct sextile Venus but opposite progressed Saturn). The focus turns to job creation and real estate (New Moon in Taurus 6th). Positive news and stock market gains sparkle from the 3rd – 18th (Jupiter trine Mercury/progressed Node/Fortuna). Memorial Day weekend gives a helpful pattern for the smart use of resources and sensible budgetary planning (Saturn station direct trine Pluto exact in the 2nd). However, the feeling of anxiety just can’t be shaken (Neptune station retrograde conjunct Moon). The populace is angry too, and losing patience (progressed Moon square Mars).
Pres. Obama is feisty and active on May 1st, and needs to watch his health, especially his heart (Mars conjunct his Leo Sun). He sees the first half of the month as an opportunity to heal his image (Pluto Rx sextile Chiron on his 1st), but will keep displaying the old weakness and foolish optimism that can blind-side him and place him in a victimizable role vis-à-vis untrustworthy “friends” the whole month long (Neptune Rx opposite his progressed Uranus/progressed Venus, quinqunx his progressed Sun). On the 13th he may lash out in a quarrel with a partner, ally, or spouse, or against a challenging foe (Mars conjunct his Descendant). The second half of May is full of drastic change or erratic behavior regarding financial matters, and little goes as planned (Uranus opposite his progressed Sun from 2nd to 8th). He might be tempted to splurge again on the holiday weekend (Jupiter opposite his progressed Sun). May 29th is a dangerous date for his well-being (Mars conjunct his Uranus/progressed Node)! Will someone take a potshot at him!? If so, it would be an unmistakable message: STOP SPENDING! Thankfully, there is a maturing and protective (albeit responsibility-filled) pattern then too (Saturn station direct trine his progressed Jupiter exact, moving onto a conjunction to his progressed Sun again).

A BAKER’S DOZEN OF SIMPLE WAYS TO CREATE GOOD KARMA
By wisdom | April 26, 2010
- Make eye contact with someone who’s performing a service for you, acknowledging their effort with a smile.
- Cheer someone up when they’re down.
- Volunteer to help someone who’s lonely – just hang out with them.
- Ask someone about themselves… for instance, listen to their opinions (without foisting yours).
- Pay the toll for the guy behind you in lane.
- Be a friend to someone’s dream – help them manifest it.
- Remove an obstacle from someone’s path, if it’s in your power to do so.
- Judge (discriminate) but with an open heart.
- If you have a choice, do what’s better for the world before what’s better for yourself.
- Create win-win situations in your business.
- Give very good value for whatever you’re selling to someone.
- Voice appreciation whenever possible.
- Care about someone’s happiness (other than your own), and take an action that increases it.
The whole point is to honor the other person, seeing them as a reflection of yourself, to offer loving kindness, to raise the world’s vibration, to be wise to the ways of the world at the same time you’re acting from compassion, and to use your time and energy in a manner that will shine a light that will return to you.

April 2010 Astro Tidbits
By wisdom | April 12, 2010
Early April is quite intense, with strains, limitations, and cutbacks all over the world, and anger running high (Pluto Station quinqunx Mars; Saturn retrograde at 0 Libra). Old issues regarding health care are still on the table, probably until mid Summer (Saturn back into Virgo at least through late July). Relationships are not at their most harmonious (Mars square Venus). However, real estate is recovering as are the financial markets (Pluto SRx trine Venus in Taurus). A fresh start begins on April 14th (New Moon in Aries). A continuing pattern using technology and the internet to spread compassion and evolving consciousness is shown (Neptune semi-sextile Uranus in mutual reception). From the 18th on, all matters involving land and wealth are reconsidered (Mercury Station Retrograde in Taurus), and the mood is celebratory (Jupiter sextile Venus). Late month sees the resurgence of the tug-of-war aspects from 2009 – the new versus the old, the progressive versus the traditional, which means the health care legislation battle is far from over(Saturn Rx opposite Uranus again). On the 28th, resistance and intense anger are brewing (Full Moon in Scorpio square Mars in Leo).
For America, this is a period of slow and gradual positive transformation (Uranus sextile Pluto; Saturn Rx trine progressed Pluto), yet continuing anxiety (Neptune conjunct Moon) – that would mean that health care reform proceeds sensibly, although people continue to mistrust the lawmakers.
April is a critical month for Pres. Obama. His fate is very linked to the world stage – as things go for him, the entire world is affected (his Lunar Return has Saturn opposite Sun, square Ascendant, and Mars at 0 Leo, all on “world degrees). Since March, and continuing through May, he faces the crisis of his life in a tremendous power struggle with his enemies (progressed Moon in H1 opposite progressed Pluto in H7). He will be held to account regarding funding and deal-making, and must address details (Saturn Rx conjunct progressed Sun in Virgo H8). His idealism and fuzziness are on display (Neptune conjunct South Node; Full Moon conjunct Neptune exact in H9), but his luck holds out so some of his personal goals are reachable (Jupiter, ruler of H11, conjunct Solar Arc Jupiter in H1).
Nancy Pelosi (3/26/40, Baltimore MD, maybe 4:27 AM) begins April with good news (Jupiter conjunct Mercury) but things quickly degrade into delays and bad news from her point of view (Saturn Rx square progressed Mercury), and a major power struggle with the Old Guard ensues (Pluto Station Rx in Capricorn square Sun exact). Since March, she has been in the fight of her life (Mars Station Rx conjunct Pluto exact, square Saturn exact!), and on the 14th old karmic problems rear up once more, involving money (New Moon conjunct South Node/Saturn in H2). However, hope arises with sudden good fortune from allies (Jupiter sextile Uranus/Venus, opposite Neptune). She is an old warrior who must learn to compromise, especially about insurance and funding (Node in Libra).
