The hardships of life are sent not by an unkind destiny to crush, but to challenge (Sam E. Roberts)
The ultimate measure of a man is not where he stands in moments of comfort and convenience, but where he stands at times of challenge and controversy. (Martin Luther King, Jr.)
One of the things I learned the hard way was that it doesn’t pay to get discouraged. Keeping busy and making optimism a way of life can restore your faith in yourself. (Lucille Ball)
Where do we go and what do we do? I don’t even know which issues to address.
1. Illegal Spying by our government on its people?
2.Corruption by our lawmakers who are stealing from us and
we seem to be OK with it?
3.A pattern of lies by our governmental leaders?
4.Abramoff and Franklin (AIPAC) scandals?
5.The ineptness of the “opposition” party?
6.The American version of the Taliban with their radical right wing religious agenda?
7.Along those lines, the violent reaction of Muslims to a cartoon?
8.The shredding of the US Constitution
9.The voting machines and the probable illegality of this administration to even hold office.
10The world wide palpable fear of citizens of their governments
11.The seemingly complete and total lack of quality leadership in this country or in any country as far as I can see.
12.The Super Bowl (I’d bet on the Steelers another wise AW poster says Seattle, so there you have it , get your bets down)
This list alone is boggling and it doesn’t even approach the problems in the Middle East, Africa, New Orleans, China, or Russia; well, India, from all accounts, seems to be thriving. Although, in spite of being reminded when growing up, to eat our peas while remembering the starving children of India; we aren’t sure how we feel about them doing better right now than America. I wonder if they are told to eat their veggies because of the starving children in America, will soon be told that.
Saturn is in place to oppose Neptune in the fall and that’s when we really begin feeling like “there is no joy in mudville.” And this aspect covers the world, liberals and conservatives, black and white, men and women, rich and poor; we will all be affected.
The omen of two stars being pitched out of the center of the Milky Way in the middle of the Galactic Center black hole is not lost on me. Astronomers figure this happens about every 100,000,000 years. http://www.universetoday.com/am/publish/printer_milkyway_exile.html
The Galactic Center is home to about 1 hundred billion stars, and astronomers figure a couple of stars are pitched out about every 100,000,000 years. It made me wonder if our planet and stars in our Cosmos isn’t housed within a bigger black hole out side of our galaxy. After all, it’s doubtful that 100 billion stars know what’s outside of their black hole. Do we live within a galaxy within a galaxy within a galaxy? Science may think they know, but they don’t, every generation believes they have nearly captured all the knowledge of the universe, but they haven’t as shown by the ever present revelations with each generation.
One thing for sure, Pluto on the Galactic Center will raise consciousness, how fast and in what direction I don’t know, no one does, but history would suggest big changes are coming. Pluto on the Galactic center in the past in the 1760 were the years when groups talking about “liberty” started organizing against King George of England and the seeds to bring down “status quo” and the powers that be had begun began. Two hundred and forty five years before that Pluto, on the Galactic Center, found a little monk sewing seeds to bring down the Catholic Church into the Reformation. In 1268 another Pluto contact to the Galactic Center 1268 found new elections procedures for the election of the “doge” are established in Venice in order to reduce the influence of powerful individual families.
The lead up to the Pluto inching toward the Galactic Center was always great strife and unrest, excesses, stifling the human spirit and growth became intolerable. Suddenly, without any real build up, the least likely leaders would emerge, people unknown and unacknowledged as leaders or even holding the possibility of being leaders became legends in their time and ours.
It is so important to know the energies surrounding great events in history for we are balancing on the same energetic precipice, and what happened before will happen again and the people will rise. Look carefully at the wanna be leaders that we “diss” because we might be shutting the door on a modern day Thomas Jefferson.
