Solstice Shift

It's Winter Solstice — December 21st 4:23 pm PST — time to celebrate the return of the light (in the Northern Hemisphere). Solstice literally means the "Sun’s Standstill” because the Sun appears to be rising and setting in the same position on the horizon. This marks a shift in the solar cycle --the rise of light from the dark and the eternal renewal of life.

The Big Sag Party Begins!

Saddle up them horses boys and girls. It’s time to get on your favorite pony and ride like the wind. Mercury has shifted into direct motion and its higher octave Uranus is turning direct. Venus has moved into Sagittarius. The New Moon aligns with the Sun and Jupiter at the end of Scorpio in the rebirth or phoenix point of the zodiac. A swirling storm is finally clearing into bright blue sky. The Sun enters Sagittarius on Wednesday and Thanksgiving day is celebrated with Jupiter also entering Sag, the sign which it rules. Then Mars enters Sag on Dec 5th, followed by Mercury on the 7th -- making it Six of the Nine blazing through the cosmic fires of benevolent Sagittarius. Sounds like one helluva lucky party to me! Indeed, Saturn goes retro on the 6th, providing a little karmic grounding. Let the good times roll!

9/11/2006 - A Sad Day

September 11th was a very sad day for me. Yes, because of the memory of what happened. But more what happened in the YMCA Jacuzzi that evening. A lovely young Santa Barbara High School student was studying flash cards for a government class. We began conversing about current affairs. I asked her why she thought the US was fighting in Iraq. She replied, “because they had weapons of mass destruction.” When I pointed out to her that the various official sources of proof that they didn’t, she retorted, “well, they were going to attack us.” When I cited the recent Senate Intelligence Phase 2 and CIA report disproving this, she responded, “well, Saddam was behind 911.” When I reminded her that even President Bush has recently admitted that there was no connection between Saddam Hussein and the 911 attacks, she was truly befuddled. I realized what a thorough job of bamboozling and brainwashing the various officials of this administration and the media have done on our poor kids. Lies are now the truth, and the truth is a lie. How twisted things have become in the name of freedom and democracy. How frightening and Orwellian. I thought back to when I was her age and my blood boiled to realize that I never thought things would ever get like this in our beloved country. September 11th was indeed a sad day for me.

Pluto's Planet Problem's -- Just Mickey's Dog

The big planet news, that the IAU (International Astonomical Union) has thrown Pluto out of the Solar System is both dumb and dumbfounding. At its least, it should have been "grandfathered" in as a planet. So everyone is asking "what effect will this have on astrology?" Answer: Zero, none, nada, zip, cero, O. The IAU, and most astronomers for that matter, have no regard or understanding of metaphysics -- the soul, the heart, the substance, the mind or the mystery of the solar system or the universe. Nor of consciousness itself, for God's sake. Their rationale was based strictly on measurements, namely, that Pluto is a bit small and it's orbit not entirely circular, intercepting a portion of Neptune's. Astrologer's who are now apologizing for Pluto's existence are doing a genuine disservice to the divine science. The short story for astrology's proof of Pluto's existence may be found in the empiral fact that in thousands and thousands of charts, it works every time -- both in natal interpretation and predictive work! End of story. Astrology is a phenomena of consciousness, not of telescopic measurement. It's about inner space, not outer space. Pluto is a profound and powerful archetype of human psychology, despite it's tiny size or oblong orbit. And it's now 76 years old. I imagine as far as the IAU is concerned, Pluto will always be Mickey Mouse's dog. aloha, KK.

Code Schmode --

The Fibonacci series is among the most miraculous mysterious of the universe. I thought the DaVinci code made a mockery of this mystical formulation. For a Fibonacci 101, see this site: http://www.textism.com/bucket/fib.html I've never seen Tom Hanks deliver a poor performance before, even in his television days. Personally, I think Jesus had tons of lovers, lots of progeny, and by now millions of descendants. Perhaps one reason why we are all children of God in the family of Human.

Ignitiation!

The Spring season ignites on Wednesday with the birth of the New Moon at 2:15 am PST in Aries. This New Moon also forms a Total Solar Eclipse, though not visible in the Northern Hemisphere. Propelled by the fires of the Aries Sun aligned with the Moon, energy gurgles on Spring’s launching pad. This initiatory cycle ignites under the shadow of both eclipse and a Pluto station -- also on March 29th. Unconscious power (Pluto) is amplified and shadowed within our core, while subconscious (moon) swirlings are illuminated by the Sun. The struggles of the winter begin to transform into solutions for the spring. Further, Saturn slows into a station and turns direct next week (April 5), so visions manifest into reality more smoothly. A good time to imagineer intentions. I have coined a new term for this......“Ignitiation” -- a most potent and transformative period.

Politically, this New Moon/Solar Eclipse/Pluto-Saturn station energy will breach the psychic levees and unearth a floodtide of dormant secrets. The shift is about to hit the fan. The fires of Aries the warrior will also fuel anti-war initiatives into new dimensions of intensity and activity. Confrontation beckons, as the seeds of change germinate. Impeachment initiatives surge. The blogsphere buzzes and blazes. International tensions also flare. Gas prices rise. Investors look to the metal’s markets. Real estate speculator’s pause. Environmentalists wave flags around new findings about accelerated climate change. Nascar enthusiasts return to the track.

In April, personal relationships flower around the movement of Venus into surrendering Pisces, though swimming slowly as Mars wades through the tidepools of Cancer. Love smells sweet in the springtime breeze. Life is good.
Aloha, KK!

March!

Presto chango, the ingredients for shift are gurgling over the top in the astral ethers. The New Moon on 2/27, the Moon igniting Aries on 3/1, The Sun conjoining Uranus on 3/1, Mercury stationing and going retrograde on 3/2 (12:29 pm PST), Jupiter turning retrograde on 3/4 -- all cresting to form a big wave of positive change. Wax your inner surfboard and paddle~! Flow with the Go. Note: Mercury is retrograde from 3/2 to 3/25 -- remember to keep wax on your surfboard (you know what I mean -- dot i's, cross t's, due diligence, etc.).
