These are convenient paths of victimhood, it's the masons, the aliens anything besides ourselves..  These voices  of the haters complain,incite, vent fear and anger, but few offer a solution, just more scared chicken little.

I'm somewhere at the edge, It's hard to drop the history of stolen and raped land, genocide, and political corruption.. It  extends into the now and so is still scarring this experiment of America. It's more than that though, because nation states are passe.. Globalization isn't evil or good, it has caused discord but can bring harmony as well.. We have this chance while the sattelites are working to really speak across all boundaries

  It is kind of a kennedy moment, if you don't think it's change then what can you do so it is?  So before you rush off to YOUtube to grab the latest nasty secret about Obama being a draconian alien using the Mayan calendar to further the goal of the illuminati Cabal, just realize that a calm mind vibrates at a measurably higher frequency. Fear and creative thought rarely occupy the same moment.

It is times like this we need every spark of inspiration.  If the dark is so scary shed some light.  The changes that we are in are so deeply vibrational that politics is just a breeze compared to the winds that are blowing.. Whatever gear your astral engine is stuck in is where it will be, you can't shift from fear to inspiration in moments of crisis if you haven't done it in times of calm.. If you can't find in yourself at least a speck that has some respect and inspiration with this then you need to look in the mirror and practice it on yourself..

Now the astro facts.  The chart is for 9:03am wash,DC.  Beyond astro babble, it's an Aqaurius heavy chart, revolution, fresh ideas, unexpected things.  Though it's in the 12th house associated with endings.. So things will end but with plan D or E. The planets to rise are Venus/Uranus, just two degrees apart.. So maybe he is an alien with psychic powers, but whatever the source what comes will be something haters or lovers didn't expect.

At the top of the circle, mid-heaven, is the Moon, she is in late Scorpio. Secrets baby, lots of them.  Of course Obama will have some of his own but I'm interested in some of gW.  I think to go forward this last administration has to take the perp walk. This Scorpian moon in the crown bodes well for that. In the coming weeks deep throats of our age will come forth and their stories of the bush/cheney years  makes nixon look like a shoplifter next to charles manson.

It is going to be change, but it's a tricky business dancing with change, the rhythm of chaos is inevitable and if you can't learn new steps there's no keeping up.. In this frenzy to fall to the floor is surely to be trampled.

Eyes and hearts wide open, bless us, here we go..

If the Israeli nationalists and their western support group don't change drastically the holy land could be glowing in the dark. There is no 'clean bomb' but a nastier, dirtier one could drop. If it gets to that level it's international fireworks and you can't just nuke an area, the wind makes sure we all share in it. This recent attack started with Mars and Pluto teamed up in Capricorn. So it's not just a skirmish in a long history.

This is for real and could be the last round. Jupiter is opposite or square all the majors of the chart for Israel '48. This expansion will crumble unless they immediately turn to the task of complete peace on their borders.

If we're going to evolve as a planet we have to settle the middle east, a fraction of global land and population but a majority of the attention..

On both sides are voices of humanity and reason. Here's the faces of some Israelies that are willing to be jailed to walk their talk. I wonder how many hipsters in the west would take their place?

Mon Jan 07- Sun Jan 13

We start the week on the dark of the Moon. The end of the lunar cycle. I've heard of many physical and emotional maladies the last 28 days of this moon so I'm sure the news of the New Moon and what it offers will be welcome to many. Some form of a fresh beginning and change is upon us. Don't languish and focus on the wounds, injury and sickness are just an opportunity to feel the strong forces of healing rise up in you. Those that continue to pick the wounds are resigned to staying in the bounds of pain. Our whole reality is about pain according to the Buddha so we all have it. All that can be changed is our reaction to it.

Monday is the dark day of the moon what comes up is the things that wish to be shifted, dealt with and transformed. The New Moon is early Tuesday morning, if you missed it know that it's never to late to check in and give some thanks offer up some intentions and ride the wave.

By the middle of the week on Wednesday we are into the wave of the Aquarius moon, waxing and tossing out ideas and alternatives. It's a bit of an idea blizzard and not all of them are appropriate but it's nice to feel the mind and attitude at a point where it's jumped out of the box. Seriously we have a fresh new year and a moon. So if you're grumbling and moaning then you really need to look at how much you've gotten used to grumbling, moaning and snarking and break that habit. It's not just back emotional physics, it's bad physiology and it dumps the wrong chemicals in your blood stream, lowers your immunity and freezes the , 'creative glands' in their tracks. So it's not just new age babble anymore, you have control of your thoughts every breath, if you keep them in the upbeat zone you improve your physiology.

Wednesday through Friday we have the moon in Aquarius. It's the monthly brainstorm, where the box disappears altogether and we're all out of it. With the waxing moon in our sails we can really see both the forest and the trees, even the sky and roots if you want to. The trouble is the focus goes in and out and thoughts are fleeting at the speed of light.

For groups it can be a bevy of useful ideas or an unraveling of direction. This is not a 'decision moon'. This is the window for things to come to the surface by ricochet means. I'm specifically talking about the u.s.a's presidential elections. All it takes is one misrepresented story to be relentlessly repeated and it can shift focus. We live at the speed of page refresh and RSS feeds, where mere hours after happening something becomes truth by exposure. Witness that Clinton did not cry, merely waxed wistful and it spun into a huge wave that confused all the pundits. In this few days the news from the campaign trail will take backroom paths to get to our ears. Always trace your sources!

Friday afternoon and through the weekend we enter the waters of Pisces. On Saturday Venus is square Uranus and will provide some unusual directions in the arenas of social direction. This is the pattern of 'tough love' in our world. Compassion can take an aggressive tone, or at least switch from passive to active. In the gospels of the Magdalene they translate the 'turn the other cheek' into trying a fresh philosophy in the face of the slap from the status quo. Not a victim 'hit me again' type of thing but an active, creative and evolutionary response. Ultimately active compassion will always trump out, especially in a world with so much violence the response is obviously needed.

Yeah time is subjective, particular to each person. But right here right now the Roman calendar rules, 80% of the decade under foot. That's the subjective time part again, it seems like only yesterday. The reality is we all write 08 now.

Monday with the Moon in Libra Mars slips into Gemini, even before Kiritimati is the first to wander into year 08. This is a great night for a party though and it's a good thing because plenty will be doing that. The Mars in Gemini part is a caution though, we're in a pattern where the war over words is just a slip of the tongue away.

Tuesday night through Friday we're hanging with a Scorpio Moon. Could be some secrets of '07 pop out early in '08. No matter what the Roman calendar says the lunar one tells us this is the darkest part of the moon. Time to dig into yourself while the ground is soft and see what's under there. Psychic tinkering is valuable now. Many will just look away and use distraction devices. The brave and the lucky will purge out those things that are the causes of physical and psychic maladies and as the pop prophet said, "...turn to face the change...".

Mars, fresh in Gemini and Pluto fresh in Sagittarius make their first opposition. It's the beginning of a dance they will do until early April. So words can be the most hard core of weapons. Often something said years ago still stings, but that broken arm is healed and gives no problems. It's a passage where we all have to speak what you really feel and when you feel it. The more time you allow things to fester internally the more likely it is that when released they will fall on the wrong ears, for the wrong reasons.

Thursday night is a prime time for the ills or blessings of this dark moon to burst forth. The moon roams void of course and we have the array of our psyche laid out before us. Those that look are cool with it; those that don't want to can go to extremes to not see the wall much less the writing on it. We'll be awash in what Iowa means according to the pundits. It's 'Horton hears the who' time for our collective American village. Not that I'm a believer that representative democracy is healthy and vibrant, it's a case of some caring to much and others too little. But now is the time to educate yourself and be heard.

The first meteor shower of the year is on, The Quadrantids, so if you think wishing on a star is a better angle there will be thousands to practice on.

On Friday we slip into a different gear for the rest of the week; the Sagittarius Moon. Now you have the wind at your back and the horizon in your sights. The places you want to travel and the things you want to study come to the forefront. Training our wanderlust and desires towards directions that evolve us and those around us is the call. Make lists of all the things you want to do, no matter how outlandish. Just getting them in the physical world will help with the execution. To be able to see your desires is a unique and valuable mirror to see yourself.

On Saturday Venus and Saturn square and the Moon moves into Capricorn. This is some hard-core astral love. A window of a few days where we can see in stark clear light the restrictions of what we perceive as beautiful and in the literary sense romantic. With the overtone of the Moon in Capricorn we can get an accountants view of our amorphous psychic territory. I always say start the new year slow and see what develops rather then toss a bunch of conditions on it from the start. This alignment gives us all a chance to really survey the deep landscape and be honest with ourselves. If you can't be honest with yourself who can you be honest with?

Mon Dec 10- Sun Dec 16

This is one of the biggest NEW MOONs of the year. The fortunate and the tenacious will be on this from the beginning. This week there is a Mars/Venus trine lending some positive topspin and our long awaited meeting of Jupiter and Pluto. This happens Tuesday but will play out for
awhile. This is the week to nurture those seeds of the new moon, get them sprouted and keep the attention on them, they could become trees in just a few short weeks.

Monday the moon is still in the sign she was new in, Sagittarius, then she quickly slips into Capricorn. This week is about grounding and getting it done now. Mercury is square Uranus and the potential for fresh ways of speaking and looking at things is available to those who don't hold to tight to outdated expectations and conditions. Get those ideas and projects down on paper, out through the meetings of groups and take some concentrated, calculated and unrushed action. A small bit of discerning effort today will trump frazzled and frantic action. It's that simple cycle in the garden of our lives; seed creation, sowing, nurturing, harvesting, then to the composting where to fuel to create seeds comes from. Grab those seeds!

Tuesday with the moon still in stately Capricorn, Jupiter conjuncts Pluto, Mars and Venus trine and the Sun sextiles Neptune. If you need more on your astro plate then your eyes are truly bigger than your being.

Jupiter and Pluto only meet every 12/13 years or so. The last time was Dec 2nd 1994,in Scorpio. Jupiter in Sagittarius has been like a turbo charger in the arenas of religion and expansion. The most fanatical of religious leaders rule in many nations, wield influence far beyond their stature with Jupiter's push. The conjunction with Pluto in Sagittarius is rare, only every 250 years or so. Pluto was last in Sagittarius in the 1750's so think big transformations, evolutions and shake-ups in the way that things are. In our individual lives we can ride on this energy to actualize the transformations that we've been sitting on and flirting around.

It's much easier to do it in the flow then to be dragged along by it unwillingly. There is no choice with these winds, they are here, they will blow, and it's up to each of us how we trim the sails. Many are writing dire things for this conjunction and that perspective is valid. Civilization can always use some evolution. Now we really need it, either we get it or civilization as we know it is going to begin falling apart. Are you riding the falling paradigm to the ground or hitching to the rising paradigm coming up?

Venus trines Mars today and it gives us access to the yin/yang blend of our being. In these times of evolution it vital that we are all as balanced as possible. With this aspect one can see the blind spots in their being, some are too receptive and others overly projective. Now you can with just that clear awareness create a more even blend. Masculine and feminine are laced with so many issues for many, so just break it down to the basics, every quality we have is paired with it's opposite, and neither are good/bad. It's that effortless blend that we want, it's like a tool or a talent, the more you access it the easier it is to access.

Wednesday we get the Aquarius Moon. With all this heavy astral action going on it's good to remember that we are naive. innocent and fresh canvases. No one has lived like in these situations before. What we put on them is up to us. To blame the larger force is to not really dig into this opportunity. If you think you're the hare and need to be the tortoise it can be shifted, if you need more of the hare momentum it's applicable. It's play the cards you have time.

Today with the Aquarius Moon we can get ideas and new concepts that let us instantly evolve into new territory. The walls that were perceived earlier in the week now have ways around, over or through them. Humor is a powerful force and given the choice between strength and flexibility choose to be flexible.

Thursday we still have freewheeling and footloose Aquarius moon momentum. Mercury touches with Neptune widening the already huge horizons to get communication from the dream realm. The source of obsessions and addictions is exposed to the bone and we can open a dialogue about it. It's rare to be able to go so deep and stay objective, so we should use it now to get realizations about drives we have that may not be healthy to us or our surroundings. Once we see the root of these things that 'control' us, truly we are allowing it to happen and controlling ourselves, they can evaporate with the exposure.

Friday is one of the freest days of the week, Moon in Aquarius and there is a boundless sense about our states of mind. Some are annoyed when reality slips out of the box, those will loath today. For the rest of us it's a chance to really experiment in a practical way with the concept that we are what we think. Truly neurologists give us hope in saying that creative and learning brains actually grow new neurons becoming more 'plasticized' as they term it. The simple truth is a creative, learning brain heals it self and is youthful, regardless of the age of the body carrying it around. Take it a step deeper and the mind/heart that is humble, creative, learning leads to that brain and the body it's in. So at anytime you want to change your metabolism and brain chemistry it's just a thought away.

Saturday and Sunday we have the Pisces moon and this whirlwind week ends up on a completion tone. With the arena of dreams and the psychic part of us amplified. In Pisces some get a little woozy, there is this amorphous flow about it. In reality it's the way things really are, no real clear-cut definitions. To get the boat of your life working in these waters is to blend the rational/irrational, the mental/intuitive and physical/spiritual. They are never separate except in our perceptions. This week we realize the stark truth the only person that controls what we perceive is in the mirror. It's a crucial and opportune time to hook that communication back up and claim ultimate responsibility for it.

Mon Dec 03- Sun Dec 09

It is evolve or die time. Now I'm not just an punk-ippie-eco-ist. Raw science and smooth intuition both offer evidence to those willing to look. This week is the clearing house for the New MooN on Sunday. We all are confronting our shared issues of living out of balance, a group deception. Individually the last ten days have been a specific multi media show on what areas have been hidden or seen so many times we just made them invisible.

All of us see it now, many looked away again already, some glance away and then back, others try to steam up the mirror so they don't have to look, but it's there tailored to each of us. By Sunday we will be past the chance to glean from that glaring and profoundly deep and true scorpio vision perspective. By Sunday all that was available to pull out of the vision and dealt with is transferred into the bow of the Sagitarius New Moon, to be fused again, so if you don't like the cards it's fold or draw time.

Monday, Tuesday and the early week we're the peace maker or involved in it. Perspective is almost too filtered as a single action or thought by groups splinters out and not much traction is available. It's best for just seeing situations fully if not clearly. The sheen of Libra can seduce you into not cleanly seeing how your landscape looks, there is a tendency to smooth over, peace at all costs is a band-aid that only guarantees the return of the infection. There is no room for wasted space now, emotional, mental or physical. It's a waste of this window to not utilize it to purge thought/emotion patterns and get the internal vision clear.

Venus and Pluto touch today too. We can see the Zena side of Venus. This completes the warrioress' activation of both Jupiter and Pluto for their rare conjunction on the 11th. It's not lightweight. Streamlining or building up, actions taken now have long term power. Sincerity is both tool and toy, but the only way for real personal evolution, without it all motivations lead to ruin.

Wednesday thru Friday is the Scorpio Moon set up. A last chance through the fun house for those that dare. Wednesday Venus moves into Scorpio. The earlier Crack about her being like Zena as well as Aphroditie is modified more, Condi rice is a Scorpio and a good example of how heavy Venus can get. Three weeks of powerful vision and evolutionary moves happening not behind the scenes but beneath them. Buried wounds can attain instant healing now.

Chanukkah begins today, Eid al Adha and Christmas follow. this year the Abrahamic trio celebrates without an overlap. Eid al Adha and Christmas follow. Truly it's just about operating system. God 1.0, 2.0,3.0 and you know Abraham looks down in dismay at what a mess his children have made of it. Most of the conflict on our planet traces these roots. Bottom line you can update your personal software to human 0.0 anytime you want.

By Thursday the momentum is thick and swift. Flow cannot be fought but must be danced with. Mercury and Saturn square up. Not a good day to get into a fight. However if the work has been done it's a powerful day and beyond for relationships to be solidified, elevated and progressed by word and action mingling. It's a time when words and actions can be immediate, the 'careful what you wish for window.' Things said in haste today could take the whole winter to unwind. The flip could also be awareness activated today could reset you and your relationships to a fresh, unique level; human 0.0

Friday is still full steam somewhere with moon in Scorpio. The soup that we've been in, some luscious others toxic gets a twist of something completely unexpected. The Sun and URanus square, rare-ish, twice a year. It most certainly is a spicy blend. Strange new and shocking ways to live and die. All the lemmings are effected, some climb up a tree to take a look for a minute. Sometimes there is no cliff. Certainly it will be of a nature that no one has seen, our whole world is that way right now, existing in a way that no one has ever seen. Unique has inertia but is still only exists inside the paradigm of the four elements. The fifth is up to you.

A 7 billion human earth ecosystem is dicey right now. It's the time to take a brake from the stampede and do a check in.

Late today the Moon clicks into Sagitarius, the sign of the new moon this weekend. It's really the window to know what you're packing, uber minimal view. Extra stuff won't help, best to go freestyle then to memorize use less stuff.

Sunday is the NEW MOON but the whole weekend is the window, it's 9:40am Pacific by the numbers. We all have some way we relate to this cycle of renewal. This one is like a mojo expander warp. Whatever you got only you know how to use it.

It is vital to act from that deep realization that we've never been here before. Simple sincere and clear ritual is better than great costumes and scripts badly translated and lacking real content. Being human 0.0 is about bridging the gap from animal to godHead, godHeart actually. The power of the arrow for this Sagitarius moon is strong, a stellium of planets are grouped, Uranus nods in and Mars won't be denied influence. Trust that what you allow in the quiver will get launched. Some explode on release, others, misshapen, hit innocents, but it's all about that one arrow that becomes a unity of the four elements exposing the sneaky fifth.

The thing about being where we've all never been is Everyone has a shot at getting it right. It's never before been as true as now, "it's where you are not where you've been."
