Brave New World of 2013

                 [Note this is the first blog since Jupiter went into Gemini six months ago, June of 2012. The time period was one to a void, because of the stranglehold politics in America had on all of us. Obama was destined to get a full eight years. This astrologer saw it in 2008, and so it continues, the last gasp of the dream of democracy. Ahem.]

            This year will be one of enormus financial reckoning. Since 2009 we have all been living through Saturn in Libra, the signe of balance, balance between people. Libra is the archtype of marriage, the symbol of the most naturual and ineveitable experience on earth. Everywhere in our lives, our relationships have been paramount. We have lost people and been on trial for our connections and our partnerships Betrayal, loyalty, support and argument have been upon us in situations that are small as well as concerning the whole world. Notice our deeply partisan decade.  Today in the crucible of molten values... world money... we are seeing a new attitude. the lines are not so sharply drawn, because the choice between life or death threatens us all. We can no longer afford to spend our time clinging to a certain half of the great divide. Libra has measured us, now Scorpio will combine us, pay us, or kill us.

Summer Solstice 2012 New Moon in Cancer, water is the new oil.

         The Summer Solstice of 2012 jumps ahead this year (like the heat wave) and comes to us on June 20th at 6 09pm CST.
      This cardinal point in the sun/earth calendar marks the northernmost passage of the Solar Year, bringing us the longest day, and the shortest night. This year the moon will be just one day new and in the sign Cancer, a water sign of great immensity.  Water will be the oil of the future. Indeed, in our drought-haunted summers, which are the hottest on record in the USA, are making water the most important resource of our time. 
         Money is on the minds and in the conversations of everyone.  Money that exists is nervous, and why? Because what is backing world money? From 1940 to 2000 oil was the unquestioned resource, but twelve years ago, the short-sighted, numb-brained powers jumped in and re-declared that oil would stand.  But it hasn't. It is over, short and going on empty. Sure, there are a few moments left, but all can see the end.  No one likes endings. No one says they enjoy change, but as it trickles, change is upon us and temperatures are rising.  Not just the grass is dying but so are the trees. And it is only June.
       The world will not take care of us. It has become overwhelmed.  No one is managing to keep up at all, and in bureaucracies, the collapse is vast.  The time for entrepreneurship is here. We have to in every way provide for ourselves. Dig your own well, grow your own produce, and buy local. this way of life has gained so much momentum that it probably isn't realized as the current trend of survival. Now, the creation of our own work, the selling of basic goods, and the inventions of new technologies are the three things that are keeping the majority of us--employed. 
        Solstice is powerful, and this one calls for Water, and shows fire on the ground. Our community connections are all-valuable. Opportunity for making money will come right from our own tribes, neighborhoods, and close friends.  As we save ourselves, we are still bound in every way to the connections of our people.  Like-mindedness can exist in the working levels of towns and cities, doing what is best for each other will bring a great profit. A local, lasting means to profit comes the same way, in starting to do for ourselves, it is our close associates, maybe even our families who will sustain us as we provide for each other.
         Don't underestimate the power of water. Meditate on the Grand Canyon. It is also quite dry.

Venus Transit of the Sun, Venus Retrograde, Values Reversing, Re-connecting

Every 18 months, in its 245 day orbit around the Sun, Venus appears to Earth perspective to reverse direction and  recede, retro-grading through degrees in space already transited. Five of these retrograde phases compose 8 years, and in the geometry of Venus orbit, creates a five pointed star in its track in space. Venus is associated with all of biological nature especially the fertility of spring. Venus' fruit is the apple, which has a five pointed center.
          During this cycle we are looking unusually deeply into layers of love, value and sharing. All our values are being reassessed, from business values, business evaluations, and the evaluations we are making in out own lives, weighing and taking extra time to asses all the factors. Have your portfolio reviewed and look for evaporation in places that have become obsolete. Expect a moving target as you look around for all the opportunities that are flux right now.  Nothing is quite safe anymore, because everything is changing and everything is linked.
Back up your materials, hard drives, and maybe on paper for some stuff. Especially account numbers that have money involved. Much is advancing and improving but the speeds are in uneven warp, and there are chaotic issues. Many of them. Nothing is perfect, all is moving.
Direct motion of Venus returns on June 29.  New ventures will be well to begin after that date.  Watch communications, and all of its components.  Venus retrogrades now in Gemini, sign of every networking device ever imagined. All exchanges are in retro action, allow yourself to reconsider, and be aware of odd lucky finds.

The Biggest Full Moon?? Are interest rates going to climb?

         The Full Moon of May is called the Full Flower Moon, it is associated with balmy perfumed spring nights, and is one of the most sensual of the year. The Tibetans name it the Full Blessing Moon. It is during this full moon of May that the ancestors come to the highest point of earth, the Himalaya, and give the blessings for humankind for the coming year.
         This full Moon opposes the Sun in Taurus, sign of abundance, beauty, and value, occupying Scorpio.  Scorpio is the point of transformation and sharing of all the substance held at Taurus. This is the marriage point, where one crosses over into the other, and something of value that is shared will bring empowerment.
         The vows of belonging are until death. These two signs are life and death. Taurus of the life giving season rules the throat, which is the organ of death. Scorpio the sign of death rules the organs of life, the sexual organs.  We give value from our lips and our kisses... ruled by Taurus. The kiss is the sexual exchange and if we do not kiss, the exchange is the other Taurus icon, money. Money, love, death and power are the Taurus/Scorpio axis.
          Notice what you care about during this full moon. It is a good time for vows.  The size of this full moon is only minutely larger than usual. The moon will be Perigee, that is, in its 12 month orbit around the earth it will lean closer and father at equinoctial intervals.. Saturday, May 5th the Full moon will be neat the Planet Saturn and the Star Spica
               Investments have just a few weeks to be the best in a decade. The interest rates will begin to scramble and waver by June.  If you can get it now, your investment opportunities will be golden. This is especially true of real estate. Land is ruled by Taurus.  Jupiter has been in Taurus for 11 months, and has only five more weeks in that sign. Jupiter shows us the 12 year cycles of ups and downs in real estate values. Prices are beginning to rise.  Buyers will be coming soon, from all over the map. Spend some good money Now.

The Conjunction of Jupiter and Venus, beware the Ides of March!

The money that has been frantic since the Jupiter Saturn conjunction in Taurus in 2000 has finally found a safe moment, a more definite thing, and a sure security. The Ides of March will bring a mighty moment in the sky, and one that we can live on, count on and bank on. The sign of banking is Taurus, all values are ruled by this sign, and the world currency dilemma is being soothed by this grand conjunction in the almighty sign of worth. The losses in world finance were caused by the oil greed of the year 2000. Oil had just a few more years to last since its triumphal placement during WWII as the dominating need to back the money of all the world. But oil has run out. The little bit left, being clung to by the last few will not make everyone rich anymore, and there is not enough of it to justify its meager trickle through the space/time of our technologies. The new oil is WATER. Water is already the currency that will back the future.
