NEPTUNE I weep but you cannot see my
tears; I cry for humanity and the
poverty stricken spirit, For aeons the desolate have
clustered for protection from the dark caverns of isolation. And I weep for myself --
I am only a minute particle of
a living cell. What you think you see of me is merely a thinly
woven cloak of human pretense. I can mimic life but I don't
live as you. When you share yourself with me
I exist; I want so much to protect you
from all pain, I am a part of each soul that
will have me. My name is NEPTUNE. I am COMPASSION. If you will have me, then you must cry too. |

All Signs (weekly changes):
Energies this week focus with intensity on
relationships. For those intimate relationships that are truly equal for all
concerned, there will be increased sexual and creative energy. However, a relationship that is bearing the
burden of unequal give and take is likely to call for a confrontation or
shakeout. Relationships or projects
begun in October, 2011, should be evaluated now. The assertive one may need to take a break in
order to prevent emotional damage. In
April this picture will look better. General
Commentary:
New! (Feb 1, 2012) The
SOPA bill and its counterpart, PIPA were defeated last week after a
major cry from the public, along with important assistance from Google
and Wikipedia. The bills were intended to protect the copyright
law, but they were written so broadly that almost anyone could make an
accusation and the website owner would be "convicted" and blocked from
internet access. Guilty unless proven innocent. Certainly
there will be another bill to replace them, but hopefully it will be
written more clearly to allow room for innocence. I am
delighted that the public still has something to say that Congress will
hear. (Of course it took the assistance of mighty
corporations....hmmmm.)
New! (Jan. 25, 2012) I am thrilled to note that there are finally people on the bandwagon to repeal the Citizens United ruling of the Supreme Court from two years ago. It was clear from the beginning where that would lead. I just hope they are able to accomplish this monumental task ASAP. Otherwise the corporate bodies, otherwise thought of as people with 1st Amendment rights, can buy the election and thus the subsequent legislation. For details, see below on the comment from 2-8-10 for the history behind this major constitutional threat. (10-1-11) "Class Wars" are in full swing in this country. (See "Class Wars" below.) There is considerable pressure to maintain non-violent positions and for that we can be grateful. However, I am uncomfortable because we are only at the very beginning of the Class Wars. The saga will continue through 2015, if not beyond. Please note the paragraph below on the subject of revolutions. The Powers that Be are becoming increasingly less related to the people and this is what ultimately causes violence. (8-22-11) Solar Storms: We are approaching the peak in solar storms predicted in 2013. The sun has an 11 year sunspot cycle which ranges from relatively quiet to fairly wild. Now that it is 2011 the flares are becoming more frequent. A flare is a burst of energy that lasts a few minutes. Greater than flares are coronal mass ejections which are enormous explosions of gas and magnetic energy that require several hours and blow drastically beyond the normal corona. According to NASA, at solar minimum we average one coronal mass ejection per week. At maximum (2013) there are likely 2-3 per day. Here are a few factoids about solar flares and CME's. They emit radio waves, x-rays, and gamma rays. The CME's can do tremendous damage to our planet's complicated systems of satellites, radios, GPS systems, phone networks and power grids. NASA is concentrating on how to predict these episodes and where they might reach our atmosphere. The idea is that if they know where a flare will hit, they can essentially turn off the power grid temporarily so it won't be damaged. For more info see: http://solarscience.msfc.nasa.gov/CMEs.shtml In Oct. 2012, Saturn moves into the sign of Scorpio through the end of 2014. During the two years that it is in that territory, aspects indicate that there will be a mass movement of wealth toward the direction of the plutocrats in the world. It is entirely possible that the IMF/UN suggestion of replacing the world reserve currency could happen (See 10-1-10 below). Or perhaps we will be forced to succumb to the Global Dollar that has been discussed in other places. Either of these scenarios could create major rebellion of the have-nots, as I have described below in the section on "Class Wars". Another probable outcome of this Saturn change is a largely Republican Congress and President to be elected in Nov. of 2012. (Just in case you are not aware, what we call the Federal Reserve is merely a super-bank, owned and managed without real oversight by the huge money families in the world. It is not entirely an arm of the US government, as we the people are led to believe. Most of the world's countries also have a "Central Bank" which operates independently of the government. The same families are the controlling owners in most of these central banks worldwide and therefore of the world's monetary systems.) (10-1-10) Removed numerous stories that have been noted during the year 2010.) Revolutions and Class Wars (3-9-11) I had a fascination with history while in college in the 60’s. In one class, a professor directed us to read an excellent book, first published in 1938. The title was “The Anatomy of a Revolution”, written by Crane Brinton, a Harvard Professor. It is a classic on the study of revolutions and I daresay many of my readers have studied it at one time or another. Brinton drew his conclusions from the development of the four major revolutions in the 1700’s. It is time to examine this work in light of current events. Astrologically the revolutionary time began 1 year ago and continues for another 4 years. Here is what we will see: The environment for a revolution starts with a ruling class that has taken all the resources and separated itself from the whole. The people are cramped and subject to scarcity and overtaxation. The intellectuals turn against the ruling class and evolve a philosophy of freedom. Eventually the masses organize and begin to demand the heads of those in power. The old regime falls and then there is a struggle for power among the winners. Moderates invariably rule for a short time. Meanwhile on the fringes the radicals are regrouping themselves and becoming thoroughly organized. The new, moderate government has to deal with the infrastructural relics of the old regime. They necessarily become tainted because the political workings don’t change quickly enough to suit the masses. Then comes what is known as the reign of terror generated by the radicals who can operate illegally to force the big changes. Eventually someone emerges among the radicals as the new dictator of the common people with his/her own army. Many of the pre-revolutionary patterns are restored and the people are left generally exhausted with the struggle. Ultimately little is changed. One might argue that a lot has changed since the 1700’s. But multiple coups in Central and South America have yielded highly similar results. (2-1-11) Now we have Egypt involved in a "class war." We are only on the front edge of this trend, which will last 4 more years. (1-11-11) Hate mongering comes under the category of "class wars" in my opinion. "We" have the "right" answers. Any of those who don't agree need to be vaporized by whatever means available. There are few media publications that even question the hostile approach made by many politicians and other public communicators. This angry attitude promotes a "we versus them" emotional environment in the country, making a perfect imitation of a class war. Is it no wonder that mentally deranged individuals pick up on this attitude and feel justified in committing senseless violence? Many are exploiting and captivating public attention with hateful, demonic ideas. It is a tragedy that few people of general sanity are attempting to halt this intense runaway train of uncivilized thought. This
is the way the 3rd Reich began, which culminated in
Auschwitz. Come on, world. Humankind has known for
centuries that hate generates more intense hatred which generates wars
on every level. As individuals it is imperative that we speak
out on this topic and challenge any orator who is promoting such
violent drivel. If you read this rhetoric, write a letter to the
editor or the owner of the publication. If you hear it in the
streets, call the demon by its name of hate mongering. We have a
supreme responsibility to avoid the passivity that allowed the 3rd
Reich to flourish. We must recognize that there are many
unbalanced individuals in our world who buy the drama and then feel
compelled to make it happen.
Astrologically we are heavily involved in what has been known as the "depression T square." It was recreated in 2008 and will be with us through 2015. Keep in mind that the financial despair during the 30's created the political and social environment that allowed Hitler to peg the Jews as the cause of all mankind's troubles. German civilians were passive for too long and Hitler had control before they knew how violent he was to become. Such atrocities could happen again. (Update 8-9-10) We are now beginning to see the literal consequences of the Supreme Court decision (see below) which allows corporate bodies the "right" to 1st Amendment freedoms. Therefore a corporation may donate any amount to candidates for public office. I predict this a first step toward effective elimination of any impact the voter on the street might hope to accomplish by going to the poles. The actual, open news that affords my observation is the revelation that both Target and Best Buy have given significant contributions to a far right candidate for the upcoming Minnesota gubernatorial election . The man has extremist values that would cause most of us in the middle to cringe. If we actually have this information about two corporations, then there are probably 10 or more that have managed to keep their contributions out of the public eye. I have read, but not verified, that Congress is working on legislation that would allow protection of corporations from disclosing contributions. (Revised, 2-8-10)
1-25-10 Uranus and Pluto will be squaring multiple times between 2012 and 2015. At this time they are within orb and the energies are beginning to show. I sense that will represent "class wars." I have wondered what a class war would look like in this country. I believe we are seeing the front end of the struggle between the 'haves' and the 'have-nots' already. The general public in recent decades has had some kind of hope of moving to higher stature. That is why we have not made a stand against the ongoing ruling, wealthy class. Maybe one or two of us could get there in such a fine capitalist economy. But what I see now is that the chips are stacking up heavily against hope for the little guy. For one thing, the middle class is vanishing. It has been decreasing rapidly for a decade. Each recession has been followed by a "jobless recovery," as it appears this one is too. I see that the Supreme Court declares that corporations are people too, and thus entitled to the rights granted by the First Amendment. I am thoroughly shocked that the Supreme Court made such a theoretical ruling, ignoring the very real and practical consequences of this decision. Personally, I do not perceive corporations as "people." The individuals in corporations already have their personal right to the First Amendment. I am no lawyer, but I believe that should be quite enough "rights". It feels a lot like allowing certain people multiple votes on political issues, if they can pay big enough bucks for it. For those who are unaware, last week's Supreme Court decision fell right into a major 10 year plan of one James Bopp, Jr., an attorney from the far right. The next step in his plan is to press the Supreme Court to allow campaign contributions in any amount, and with total secrecy. Please see the NY Times for the story: Seasonal Story: Cosmic Message The message in the sky calls us to break from living out the tired old dramas. If we are to save our world we need to change paradigms. Taking revenge for past wrongs is not a cool thing to do. Neither is acting out the same old creaking stories of the battle between the sexes, or letting warriors rule the planet just because they are louder than peacemakers. Any thinking person would have to agree that continuing our warring history in the same way will not accomplish anything better than what we've got: a circus of a world that is trapped in constant replay. Each of us can choose a better option for whatever is happening personally. We do not have to be in replay mode forever. If you can think of nothing new or better to do about an issue, hold the question in mind before you go to sleep and ask for the answer--expect it to be there. A fresh and improved version of dealing will be available for evaluation in the morning. If we simply refuse to play the same old tapes, the mind will come up with a better solution. Our minds are naturally lazy and will keep reproducing the same scenarios unless we demand that it reinvent answers. 2-22-10 : Removed "sobering realities" story 2-8-10: Removed
