Sagittarius Week

Tuesday 30 September 2008 at 09:49 am Written Last Year, I hate to have been right on some of this stuff.

Welcome to Sagittarius Week

Starting with the New Moon in Sagittarius, this is a powerful week for Sagittarian energy.New Moons are the beginning of the monthly energy cycle. At the New Moon cosmic and emotional energy is concentrated, therefore, it's a good time to begin projects. What kind of projects? Sagittarius likes to grow and explore, so this is a good time to start those projects that expand the mind, such as reading philosophy, or meditation. Actually, any time is good for meditation, but this time is excellent for dealing with the more devotional, philosophical kind of meditation. This may also be a good time to explore higher education or to learn a foreign language.

This beginning of the monthly cycle has once again brought us news about religion, international affairs, higher education and speculation. There's the climate conference in Bali, the granting of the Nobel Prize to Al Gore, the upcoming withdrawal of troops from Basra by the British, the international effects of the housing market decline, and the shootings at Ted Haggard's church in Colorado.

Next comes Jupiter and Pluto combined in Sagittarius, (1:26 pm EST, 28 Sagittarius December 11, 2007, the culmination/end of a 12-year cycle of great expansion and high optimism. When Pluto and Jupiter last conjoined back in 1995 it was in Scorpio, and it ended/culminated a period of economic contraction where what grew was mostly decay: the drug trade, and the rot of the end of Communism. There were positive things: the quiet growth in reproductive technology, the exploration of the human genome, the growth of hospices. What then began was a great deal of speculation and expansion, a growing interest in international matters fueled by terrorism and the internet. That period is ending, and a more pragmatic (Capricorn) approach is coming to many matters. Suddenly the rhetoric of fanaticism is cooling down, atheism at least gets a hearing, and people now realize just how diverse we really are and that we need to at least try to get along for the sake of the planet. Another end of a cycle. I'm not finished yet...

Love of Latte

Monday 29 September 2008 at 9:32 pm Coffee and I have long and happy memories together. It first started on those cold mornings I had to take the bus to high school, standing outside while cold winds would sneak under my bubble coat and chill my stockinged legs. It sustained me while I walked across the Quadrangle in college on my way to breakfast on cold chilly mornings. When we had our 10 am astrology meetings under an outside shelter and the wind would pick up a bit, and we needed to get the eyes open and the fingers warm, coffee kept us going and was a bridge that got us to noon.

So I like coffee. Good coffee. Fancy coffee like lattes andmocha, with a bagel and lox. I'm not finished yet...

Pluto In Capricorn

Sunday 28 September 2008 at 9:18 pm I will be reprinting some of the old articles from my old blogs just to make sure they are present on the web again.
Don't worry too much, there will be newer content very shortly. There's a lot to say about the upcoming election, et cetera.

The New Blog

Sunday 28 September 2008 at 6:40 pm After all of the problems I had before, this is a good thing to have a blog that actually works. Soon maybe I can concentrate on actual content!
