Astroworld

Good to have you back AW!

Well here we go again.........

OK that works!

Testing...testing. <3

ok that works. Hi Pat!

Checking in! OMG the picture is so much clearer than it used to be on my old TV! ( Cspan-computer!)

Okay I have 9:10 pm est that the President started speaking.

Wow pretty good speech, a few punches.

Yes, pretty good speech..........Mitch Daniels is now fomenting fear..no change here.

Mars is in the 1st house now, but what happens as it retros into the 12th?

Protection? Ha! Daniels gets occupied by me tomorrow!
Republicans are evolvement CHALLENGED!!

Well the ones in Washington. The ones I know or hear from are losing their homes, jobs, and health insurance. If you're part of the 99% you get your fair share of pain, the 1% cares only about the 1% and could careless what they are, just so long as they are rich.

And for a wrap.....I present this............It needs waaaaaaaaay more focus in daily communication.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seven_deadly_sins#Greed

["Greed (Latin, avaritia), also known as avarice or covetousness, is, like lust and gluttony, a sin of excess. However, greed (as seen by the church) is applied to a very excessive or rapacious desire and pursuit of wealth, status, and power. St. Thomas Aquinas wrote that greed was "a sin against God, just as all mortal sins, in as much as man condemns things eternal for the sake of temporal things."............In Dante's Purgatory, the penitents were bound and laid face down on the ground for having concentrated too much on earthly thoughts. "Avarice" is more of a blanket term that can describe many other examples of greedy behavior. These include disloyalty, deliberate betrayal, or treason,[citation needed] especially for personal gain, for example through bribery . Scavenging[citation needed] and hoarding of materials or objects, theft and robbery, especially by means of violence, trickery, or manipulation of authority are all actions that may be inspired by greed. Such misdeeds can include simony, where one attempts to purchase or sell sacraments, including Holy Orders and, therefore, positions of authority in the Church hierarchy.

As defined outside of Christian writings, greed is an inordinate desire to acquire or possess more than one needs, especially with respect to material wealth.]

Ranks up there with abortion don'cha think?

Glad AW is back ... didn't see the SOTU speech. Don't believe anything Obama says these days anyway. Also wouldn't dream of watching the Reps, just as dismaying (or even worse, more cognitive dissonance).

Hi Marta good to see you. I don't believe anything any of them say and if a Republican says it you can usually believe the exact opposite. The President gets it though, we don't trust them and we know our government is broken.

Good wrap up Pat!

Thanks Morgana, Now I am struggling with that other deadly sin, Wrath! OMG!
Assessment.......
Glad you got on Marta. Heard from Karen she couldn't even access the site..........
and Pat C was able to read it, but didn't post.

Woo-Hoo! I'm in! and I did listen to Obama's SOTU, and Daniels after giving a rousting fear-mongering tale of woe should choose to keep an Obama in office. For only the upright/uptight republicans can save us from stupid selves.

Morgana, I'm so glad you posted up. Astroworld is sorely missed for there's a community here unlike any other. You and Sally have powerful visions to share and each of us benefit by them.

Hey Karen, I agree there are a very unique bunch of folks here at AW. I am looking forward to getting back into the thick of politics and astrology. Hopefully we can get the login and loading fixed.

I came across this this morning, thought I would post it as a point of reference.....such a lot of pretty faces............

http://www.thechristianleftblog.org/1/post/2011/08/the-enemies-within-the-20-most-dangerous-conservatives-and-their-organizations.html

I didn't listen to the SOTU. Another family member undergoing tests to determine the reason for swollen nodes (lymph). Doctors have "never seen this" so biopsy,etc. I am weary right now and have rather drawn into myself but I could not allow something as wonderful as AW with the lights on go by without at the very least a hug from me.
Consider yourselves all hugged and know that I love you all and your opinions-everything about all of you.

Hi Morgana, Sally, Pat, Clymela, Karen and all ... I'm so glad the site is up again. Looking forward to reading the articles as they come out and hearing people's opinions on what's going on (what's really going on, not what the politicians, propagandists and MSM say is going on, 99.9% of which is pure and unadulterated crap, also known as lies.).

Hope everybody has a great day!

Governess whack job in AZ is at it again, this woman has absolutely no class, no grace, no brains. Surprised she didn't have her toady Arpaio there to arrest the President for being not white.

The trick seems to be in being well informed, without being emotionally affected?....... Easy?
Saturn still in balanced Libra, until Oct. helps.

February message.............Effects of negative thoughts; dispelling fear; evidence of light's progress; reasons for delay in initiating major reforms; cause of global "hum"; chakras; new monetary system; science vs universal reality; sex in fifth density; gods and goddesses

"And because the vast majority of your populace has no idea whatsoever that this year will end at the doorstep of a glorious new era of peace, cooperation and life in harmony with Nature, there is apprehension anew with every instance of saber rattling, austere economic analysis, new law or policy that erodes freedoms."
Believe..........................

5. The universal law of attraction, which cannot differentiate what you want—something of positive nature—from what you don’t want—a negative something—is in perpetual operation to provide whatever you focus your energy on. When that focus is on the fearful aspect of a situation—say lack of money, which is the focus of many—the universe can only provide situations to continue that lack because it has no reasoning ability to understand that what you want is enough money, not lack of it. You have the power to change your thoughts! Thinking I have money for everything I need and feeling grateful will start the universal flow that will provide it."

Oh gosh remember of few years ago when we were scrubbing comments that might attract unnecessary attention from well you know..

Looking for writers for my blog. I finally realized that 6 blogs requires a lot of material, and while I've tried, there are days when I don't do very well.Plus I've realized that it's feedback that improves my writing-the back and forth between people does it for me. I also have podcast capacity as well, and you could have your own podcast as well. So post in the comments at the frontpageblog (I'll make a post about this as well) and I'll set you up as a co-author.

Thankx,

Carol

Mitteney, I mean Romney, won the Maine Repub caucus today! I am grateful for that, as I feared the VERY Independants in the State would blurr the lines between Kucinich & Paul ideology....but they have it straight..
mitt called me at home Thurs. night with a teleconference. A young woman asked him about SS.
When he had answered her.I wanted to ask about it from a Sr's perspective; but of course I wasn't a part of it; just a passive listener. I was on mute!
The canned questions from prepicked "audience",continued. mitt was channeling ronie reagan, avuncular, reassuring, Daddy will make it all better............( the Dems should emulate) and had ALL THE WRONG ANSWERS! Of course, drilling off shore & in Anwhar, Pipelines youbettcha! Finally got bored and hung up, but when I tried to make a phone call they were still there, nattering on..... I had to hang up about 6 times to free my phone.
The next day I got a live call from a local young repub. to see if I had any questions about the teleconference.
I assumed my very best DAR Matron persona, and said, “Yes, Why on earth would
you call me I’m a progressive Democrat. I ran on the Dem ticket for a state senate seat, last year. bla bla bla......He was totally taken aback & confused.....It never occurred to him anyone would have a different viewpoint. He actually a stammered as he said the calls were random dial. ROFL, LMAO!
I don’t recall even knowing when the rep caucus was in past election years..so I guess they are pulling out all the stops.........But I don’t think it is going to work.
This is my concession post to politics this week! Mostly I won’t waste my beautiful mind on such folly! Too bizarre to follow!
I talked with WV tonight. He is good, and wishes everyone well!

Hi ya"ll. Long time no see. I appreciate the advice above about the law of attraction. My favorite version is "Energy flows where attention goes."

SOTU: We are teetering on a currency/debt collapse just when the dominoes are ready to fall in Europe. ( Greek default in March) Just when oil is set to double in price ala Iran. Jim Rickards, currency expert is calling for chaos as is Chris Martenson. After reading Chris last night,validating Jim, I actually was frightened. I am well rehersed in "Nothing real (my eternal soul) can be harmed. Nothing unreal (maya) exists. ACIM. I was still frightened. Better today. Transformation here we come...Nameste', Timmy J

The always reliable & sane Krugman!
Severe Conservative Syndrome
By PAUL KRUGMAN
"Mitt Romney has a gift for words — self-destructive words. On Friday he did it again, telling the Conservative Political Action Conference that he was a “severely conservative governor.”

As Molly Ball of The Atlantic pointed out, Mr. Romney “described conservatism as if it were a disease.” Indeed. Mark Liberman, a linguistics professor at the University of Pennsylvania, provided a list of words that most commonly follow the adverb “severely”; the top five, in frequency of use, are disabled, depressed, ill, limited and injured."...................

Ooooh baby, I got in!

We get teleconference calls from our right-rigid-rep DesJarlais. Like you, Pat, we believe those who ask questions are pre-selected. Many of them are just downright looney like the one women who was quite sure the evil Muslims were building a secret installation nearby. Calls such as this give the rep an opportunity to act "sane" in comparison. ;0

Also heard that Romney is not actually the winner in Maine. When it was announced, not all districts were accounted for -- some, in fact, were ignored because their votes did not reflect a Romney win. Lots of hanky panky going on.

Timmy -- yes, there are some devilish manipulations going on via the IMF including a push to subvert unions, wages (which they've been doing for years in impoverished countries). Again, why we cannot consider a "jubilee" releasing debt and starting from scratch is beyond me. But, then again, those who stand the most to gain would also, most likely, be the ones to impose the onerous rules.

WV! It would be WONDERFUL to hear from you!!!!

Hey Karen, Timmy, Pat yahoo some of us are still here. It's all smoke, mirrors and celluloid. I was awake late channel hopping and stopped to listen to Russian News, Obama's Embargo on Iran is an act of war and they are drawing parallels to the US when it put the screws to Japan back in 1941. Meanwhile a committee of men is determining American Women's reproductive rights and deciding what women can and cannot do. It is screaming insane. So here's hoping the GOP goes the way of the Whigs. Are there any young women screaming about what is being done to them? I don't hear or see their voices.

Ok back to work for me. So glad to find you all here.

FACT! I don'tknow what happened down in Waldo Co that their votes didn't count. ( stat rep party is forced to reconsider that, due to the publicity fervor) Up here in Wash. CO a good number of the caucuses were postponed till tomorrow, Feb. 19, because we had a wicked snow storm. It began at 9:30-10:am, mixed sleet snow the slippery stuff.
I got postponed out of the MoveOn house party to watch the movie "Inside Job" as well. 180o different activity from Repub caucus! The host decided he would rather pay the full week rental on the movie rather than have anyone in an accident on the way to the party.
Here is Rachael on the subject.

backtrack & watch her clip: Republicans. milk conception issue.it's brilliant.

Heya, I turned off the news shows all of them a few weeks ago I'd run out of tolerance for all the crap going on in our country. It has been one outrage after another by the far right, by the disgusting cretins who are making new laws for the country. The Guardian news in England is reporting that we're poised for war with Iran, and the straw that lit me up, after cooling down over the Komen revelations, Darrell Issa dare's to host a committee about women's health issues and there are no women? Ok rant snipped. But read this DailyKos article following a link from one of the other rants which says it so much better then I can articulate when I'm sputtering livid. So thought I share it with you. I'm curious as to the astrology of the attack on women's rights and how long this freaking insane transit that is making all of this manifestly visible for all to see is going to last months, years. I have seen our outrage as senior women who bare the battle scars from the first round..course then think back to Sally's revisiting the late 60's discussion somewhere in our archives. Anyway let me know your thoughts on the astrology of it all.

Here's that tasty link with rant well articulated.

argh excuse the typos in my previous post..should read "I've turned off the..", and "Darrell Issa dared"... though I do watch Stewart and Colbert but Colbert's 91 yr. old mom has taken ill so we have reruns.

Hey Pat, I read that SPAM ate their votes... doh!

I'll take a flying leap at it. Intuitive not studied. ( & the link was rebuilding I couldn't read it.)
Neptune is now in Pisces...........the Sun will conjunct it this weekend; then in 3o more will conjunct Chiron and Pallas. All that diffuse, hard to pin down, watery feminine energy is outside the tool box of the restricted, structured ones. Chiron brings healing and Pallas a broader overview...................
They will either "GET IT" or get overruled.

Saturn IS retrograding in Libra, ( relationships) sign of it's exaltation, and asking us to negotiate, find the perfect balance that serves everyone.

A personal observation.........The robins are working the yard this morning. Big fat birds, red/orange breasts gleaming in the morning sun.
It is only Feb. 18, waaay early for them. The ground is too frozen to release the earthworms just yet, are they eating small bugs? seeds? collecting straw and bits of dried weed for nests?
To me this is a miracle. The pink boyz, & girlz in DC have denied adequate heat funding this year to all these old low income Grandmothers in Downeast Maine. Did the Goddess turn up the thermostat a few notches to help get us through?
I will be getting another 50 gallons of oil this week..( from the supplimental LIHEAP appropriations)which puts me out of danger/disaster for this season.......
Thank you Goddess!

Oh yay for Pat...warm is good. I ran a chart using 10:00 am est for Darrell Issa's males only meeting to decide the fate of women's birth control (will they put Viagra on the table as well? Hmmm.) . The t. Sun in Aq. conjunct the US n. Moon in Aq, t. Moon in Sag. opposing US n. Mars, and the t. Saturn RX at 29 Lib. trine the US n. Moon. Talk about a rude awakening ladies. Like ya can't put the genie back in the bottle.

Hi all! I don't know if ya'll have kept up with derivatives of mass destruction so I'll try to update... 5 biggest banks in US control a quadrillion $s in derivatives including selling insurance called credit default swaps CDS on soverign bonds like Greece. The 5 also control the International Swaps and Derivatives Assoc: whom decide if a soverign bond is in default. If the bonds default the 5 have to pay out on the insurance. See the conflict of interest. When Grek bonds paid out only 50% MF Global went bust, because a default was not declared. That began the end of trust in investing in the USA. If the 5 paid on the CDS-insurance they would go under, because they are undercapitalised. Greece is about to only pay 30% on the next bonds due. Do you think the ISDA will declare a default? The PIIGS will follow in underpaying on bonds, so the FED, who has become the bail-outer for all of western civilization will have to print (so called) many MANY billions to monetize the debt. This will be recognized as the end of the road for economic western cicilization. Zero confidence in a system whose life blood is confidence. Though 2015 or less will bring economic chaos unless a new economic system is invented based on trustable hard commodities such as gold. Gold would have to be revalued to$12,500 to wipe out the US debt. Currency experts will bet you dimes for donughts we'll have chaos first. You've seen inflation at the grocery store. The FED will hyperinflaate the $ to collapse now. Look for weakness in the $ to begin probably in June of 2012.

sorry for the typos etc. I'm stuck with texting only for another week or two...Nameste, Timmy J

Hi Timmy thanks for the update. Captain Sally has been talking about the collapse of our monetary system as Pluto rolls into the US 2nd House. Sorry to hear your stuck with texting but happy you can get on and keep us informed.

I'm wondering if they'll stave off the collapse until after the elections in November...course Bushy tried that and we see where that got him.

I hear more and more talking about a brokered GOP convention, and the Savior JEB being called upon to rescue their sinking ship. I was reading this morning some of Rick 'Frothy' Santorum statements which are indeed batshit crazy. He wants to do away from the public school system so all the mama's must stay home and home school their children, just like the Frothy Santorums have, oh please we do not live in the 1850's! Ack this is only February and we've got what 4 months to go before their GOP convention.

Keep your sanity my friends!

Here's another doozy.
http://mindonmoney.wordpress.com/2012/02/16/plain-vanilla-trouble/ Things are heating up. BTW Martin Weiss ranks banks nationwide for free. He sells financial advice, so no conflict of interest....After you read the article think Quantitative Easing to the Moon. Hehe, and no astrological conotation intended.
