Terror and Discovery

Now that Mars is midway through the transit of Pisces, conjoining Uranus and the North node, the usual fear of the universe is revved up along with the arrival of an interesting new development.

The terror of the terrorists, the government, Big Brother, the New World Order, and all assorted conspiracies is rising once again. The ever out-of-control victim is doomed as usual. All predictable. I just read an article about the infiltration of criminals into our very own government and the scare tactics, but who's foolin' who? The author was expressing nothing but terror.

The first and foremost response to threat is, "do not be afraid". An Aries knows this is the only way. So as Mars fiddles with the collective paranoid mind, the NN in Aries is here to remind us. We will survive and triumph.The human race is clipping right along.

This terror is a natural part of everyday life, and no more than it ever was. All people in history have thought the same thing .... that they are in the worst, most dangerous time yet. This is a complete fallacy. The fear of the New World Order and global demise is exactly what the creators want. They are nowhere near as powerful as some insist. These poor victims are projecting their personal fears, and for some reason, want others to tremble too.

While it's true that the leaders committed such acts as the destruction of the World Trade Towers and the perpetuation of worldwide conflict for their establishment of dominance, there is too much infighting and lack of cohesive leadership in these ranks to ensure success. The Aries warrior gets this. Clear as a crystal bell.
And, of course, there are too many cosmic factors.

As most of you know, within this frightening expulsion, came the discovery of potential life on another planet in space. I expected this but not so soon. This is part of Pluto leaving Sagittarius, and our belief in something out there. So far, the people of this planet have felt alone in the universe and this has been a large part of this terror. Aries also knows this, since he is well acquainted with aloneness.

I think a lot of human behavior until now has been motivated by a fear of the emptiness and darkness beyond the earth with no protection, no familiarity. I also thought that the new physicists and astronomers would find life, thus diminishing our feelings of alienation and fear.

The time has come. As the years ahead unfold, and we become more familiar with outer space, I believe we will be less inclined to make deities of our rulers, as history has always done. We can begin now to put their power in perspective. We are probably not alone, and the voyage of discovery is just beginning. We can put some of our fears aside and revel in the glory of the universe, possibly devine protection, at least for these last moments of Pluto in Sagittarius. Before we start battling those guys out there.
