The Big Shots Part.

The Jupiter-Uranus square has just ended and what a square it was. Uranus brings awakening and is the earth awakened? You decide.
This has the feel of one of those watershed moments in time that will be looked back upon years from now as the breaking out point of a major movement.
Neobuckeye
I find this plausible. The timing of the earth change recognition with the square was fascinating and I assume it's connected to the Jupiter-Uranus conjunction ahead when Uranus enters Aries for exploration and innovation. The friction with the status quo and the transition beyond traditional boundaries are apparently in gear as Saturn heads for the opposition to Uranus, ending exactly when Jupiter and Uranus cross into Aries.
The fact that the planet awarded the Nobel Prize to the environmental scientists and advocates suggests this will be the theme of the upcoming conjunction and the 14 year passage of Uranus through Aries and Taurus, with Pluto in Capricorn. Will the planet be saved? Another page-turner. It's taken circumstance to a more interesting place from my perspective, so typical of Uranian doings.

When the square started, the Moon was in Virgo, the entity of repair and maintenance, and Venus was just moving to 0 Virgo. When the conjunction arrives on December 7, 2010, Mars will just be coming into Virgo at 0 degrees. But here's the difference.
As the square separates now, Saturn conjuncts the South Node at 5 degrees Virgo opposite the North Node in Pisces. They are crossing paths exactly as the nodes leave for Leo and Aquarius in December. Because the SN has been in Virgo for the last year and a half, repairs have been stalled and waiting. When the nodes change signs the fix should be getting into full swing. For the next couple of years, systems repair could fly until the last of Saturn's opposition to Uranus and the Aries ingress.
The orchestration is glorious as usual as the planet of "we the people" and liberation comes to an agreement with the elite hierarchy and conservatism, both necessary heading on into the planet's future. The added benefit is the chance for people to free themselves personally from bonds they no longer need as traditional ways of doing things give way in part to the new and the original. Will lives change? You decide. See you at the conjunction.

This is interesting, in light of the recent discussion of Gore's Nobel award.

Gore gets a cold shoulder

As always, there's more going on here than meets the eye.

Most of what's going on doesn't meet the eye.

This argument among the scientists has been going on the whole time. I tend to think the warming is part of a natural cycle so I'm not worried about it. It will work itself out. But what does interest me as a result of this is energy change and how it might affect the geopolitical situation.

As the earth warms, no matter how it happens, lots of social problems will result and this is what we have to start dealing with. It's all a matter of focus and this is about earth changes replacing the spreading of democracy and things like that. It also means cooperation rather than obedience to a monolith. When a home is threatened, survival kicks in. The complacency of the wealthy countries is up for scrutiny.

The "Peace" Prize is what's interesting. Even though it "doesn't meet the eye" the connect is happening. The wars around resources. This, I think is the important part.

I don't much like Gore and his crisis approach but it's necessary as an attention getter and indicative that the money will be going to the environment, and that the political future holds change with all the Uranus-Saturn coming up. The details are probably unimportant. The shift away from terror is what I'm hoping for. although terror will always find a way.:-)

The whole issue of shared resources is up for confrontation with the USA Pluto return, starting with the destruction of the Trade Towers. I think we will have to reconstruct our policy, not that a much better one will take its place, but with an American politician leading this new wave, some things could improve.

The fact that this is in print is the idea. The debate needs to start in earnest. We have to start dealing with real problems after all this Neptunian illusory enemy chasing. This would be a great advancement and I think Pluto in Capricorn might lead the way.

I keep stressing Aries and survival. All up ahead. I mentioned the Depression and the 3rd Reich as part of the last transit.

The interesting change here is the fact that the earth as a focus of the problem completely changes the "enemy next door approach". Most of the time countries are fighting other humans. But with the earth's destruction, the enemy becomes something else entirely. It unites humans against a common foe, whatever that is. This is what I find fascinating and as it unfolds. This is the first time in human history that danger has been thought of this way. It brings the fear of God into reality.

Who's to blame? The first finger will be pointed at the elite and the corporations, but I cam across this comment today that was incredible. One in a million but it's out there in the mass of human verbiage.

I'm aware of two forces bringing on the gloom that many now feel.

The first is that our belief that "justice is entwined in the universe" is now looking silly. We have been wired by so many movies, books, and drama where good wins. We seem to be in another type of universe now where what Bush represents wins. We can feel our faith dying.

The second is a despair that we are addicts to our lifestyles and the oil that supports them. Deep down, part of us wants the oil that lies beneath the sands of Iraq and Iran, and we are ashamed of our corruption.

Bumpersticker

The problem of the psyche is really a big part of it. Apathy, depression. etc. All of this leads to more mindless consumption. There is no doubt that joy and spiritual awakening are the only real remedies. Patience and courage.

Humans are fear addicts, but this must be necessary at this stage of evolution.

As soon as something good happens, it's quickly forgotten and the mistrust takes over again. The pain re-grasped immediately. Sometimes I think this makes people feel more alive. They simply don't get a thrill out of goodness. They like the words but seem bored with the content. The electricity of terror coursing through the body is much preferred. And interpersonal sniping is adored beyond belief.
This used to be part of survival, but as violence diminishes, maybe survival will take on a different color.

This is one problem with the environmental movement. Not bloody. Not exciting. Not full of terror. People love these things and that's why they dominate.

The shift could be indicative of coming psychological change however infinitesimal.

Take this personal experience...

When I moved into my house my next door neighbor was a Pisces with many planets in Aries. She had one of the worst dogs I ever encountered whose barking made my life a nightmare. I tried everything to negotiate with her but nothing worked. An undercurrent of hostility remained at all times. I had to question my need for this conflict. Was I afraid of quiet and peace, the things I said I was desiring?

Some major Pisces event occurred, a blizzard, then a flood in the corner of my bedroom. I told myself I was letting something go with the flood. Right after that, she sold the house and moved.

I'm on pins and needles. The new owner is unusually quiet, but I know this is my pattern and my projection. Am I ready for peace? Can I be productive and alive without all this beating and banging?

Is the earth more important than bloodspilling? Or maybe, how much blood does the earth require? Could the blood in the cradle of civilization now be sufficient for the time being and we can move forward.

29 Pisces to Aries.

Here's another example.

The holiday season is just about to begin again. Massive amounts of fossil fuel will be consumed in driving and jetting around the country and world. Massive amounts of petroleum based gifts will be purchased carted in plasic bags driven around with fossil fuels. Massive amounts of food will be shipped in, raised with petrolem products, transported with fossil fuels. Somewhere in the midst of this, someone might say, "Gee, I'd sure like to end the war in Iraq. It's the politician's fault."

Good points all 'round. Your example of the "enemy next door approach" makes me think of extra-terrestrials. I've always thought that the arrival of offworlders would instantly negate the petty squabbles Earthers have amongst themselves.

Weather and climate aren't my interests, but it is pretty interesting to see how the world begins to move collectively.

And it is a good idea to listen to both sides, and make up one's own mind. Skepticism is good. :-) Educating oneself is good, and there are often additional motives involved.

There are scientists who criticize Dr. Gray, too. Dr. Gray believes that the world will start cooling again in three or four years and continue to do so. He has a theory to explain why he thinks so, but he has yet to publish the details or share them.

But we'll all live long enough to see if he's right. Easier than religious arguments. :-)

Scientists debate -- it is part of what they are supposed to do. Theologians debate, too, within and across religions.

I've decided that it doesn't matter most which religion people follow. I'm inclined to think that the diversity is good in that it keeps power from being too centralized. Make use of the diversity, I say.

I could probably find something to disagree with in nearly every belief system, if I really wanted. Time will shake things out, if it does. :-)

I do feel that it is helpful to each person to live responsibly regarding their own intake and output of energy, emotions, information, etc. -- as each sees fit.

The main thing about this is not the geological but the oil factor and wars. Let them believe it's humans if alternatives are the result. The end result could be the hotbed in the Middle East cooling down, speaking of cooling.

Again the focus on the earth is the prize. Humans have been beating the crap out of one another without paying any attention to the thing they live on and that supports them. Like bad kids. That's what I think this Uranian awakening is. Pulling the collective together in group effort.

I have a scientist friend who spent much of the 80s and 90s in Antarctica looking for confirmation of Ozone hole, global warming theories.

What he came up with was mostly that the earth and her atmosphere cycle and absorb a lot of trauma, from multiple sources, eruptions, forest fires, human caused pollutants and the miracle is the ability to recover.

He was a real doom and gloomer.
After a couple of decades he chucked it all for a life of adventure - in Africa.

Absolutely. All of life.

This timing is too perfect. Uranus is associated with new political movements which is why I think neo is right. Again, it's far beyond some ozone hole mystique. It's our relationship with the earth (Capricorn) and how it then influences our relationships with one another.

I have complete confidence in the earth. What I think needs work is the megalomaniacal belief that humans CAN control the earth. Ridiculous. Some realistic assessment would be advisable.

D&G always goes on. All the world's a stage, someone once said. The opposite ... elevation and bright productive times also come and this is what might happen. Might being the word. I think so, myself, and this Jupiter-Uranus transit verifies my sense. It could have been violent and ugly, but look what happened. We'll see at the conjunction.

As I said, the conjunction comes at 29 Pisces, the war degree, so it makes sense that that will be the completion of the exit. Many other things might be involved in the resolution and I firmly believe that alternative(Uranus) energy sources are part of the peace process, thus the Peace Prize.

Agree for all of the west i've lived in except here.

My little town is like this, it has lots of artists, creative people.
The local area is very conservative evangelical and military.

The creative types started the market and put it in a nice central, convenient location so people would come.

Few did at first. Now it is mobbed. Who can disagree with fresh organic produce?

It is a wonderful example of urging people to get out of their local circle and participate in what we can all agree on.

The studio tours is another example. The first year was just a dribble of brave souls. Once the community figured out we are "normal" we've been overrun.

This is great news.
We have the same thing here on a larger scale. Conservative, military, evangelical with the ultra progressive college towns and the crowning jewel, Denver. The mayor is an Aquarius with a Cancer Moon and the first thing he did was to start a jobs program for the homeless kids. The city jail is going solar. But best of all, there are several initiatives on the ballot for November that will provide funding for social programs. The people always vote for these things and creative funding is the name of the game. It's really so easy when the desire is there.

The room is long and at one end is a salon grand and some more furniture a small wood stove my spinning wheel. Six windows 6-12 feet looking out into blue sky.

Where i paint is actually where i sleep. It also is a very large room with lots of windows.

Tseka, I thought about this exactly. Your wobbly node. I don't think you would like a blog at all because of the time pressure. You'd hate it. I'm beginning to think there is something to this theory. I have little problem with this realtime thing. It actually serves as a stimulant so it's no great achievement. Keeping it up to standard is the achievement, but then again, that comes easily in a way. The best thing to do for all of us, I think, is what comes naturally. Effort and struggle come naturally too.

Once your writing is done, maybe you could present it in blog form, but I know it would interfere with your time sense in the creative process. You need timelessness to the max.

They smell doubt. I once sold a piece of fabric to a customer, that she had no need for and didn't want, through sheer enthusiasm. I felt terrible but I learned the strength of persuasion and knew that I had it. I never did that again it was so disturbing, but now I think I can use the skill wisely.

She was happy when she left with the small piece so maybe it was OK! I was shocked at how easy it was. And I've wondered all along why I didn't apply this to my own work. I never felt ready. But ready is no longer an option.

Are we proud to represent our work? Is it a great product, one of a kind? Is satisfaction guaranteed?

Today painting my shed i heard a sharp metallic sound like a trash can rolling down the alley. I set down the brush trying to place the noise- overhead. Two ravens my sweetheart's kids from last year were playing games with me. Somehow they were circling and cutting the air just right to magnify their wing flapping. I was thunderstruck.
They dissolved into happy caws once they saw they "got" me. ( better than the usual game of shitting on my truck) Still this is the reason that i have so much trouble getting myself out into the sales arena. A colisseum with the lions. M might be right, they may be dogs....

Does Al Gore?
He did not put up much challenge for a stolen election.

Dalai Lama?

Eleanor Roosevelt?
All of these people are integral to forming the future but were they personally concerned. A good question JM

In my family with four wobblys i don't think there was/ is too much concern what did Kadimiros say earlier?

"I don't worry about doom-and-gloom prognostications. Whatever happens, we'll deal with it. We'll be where we're supposed to be. It's good if people pay attention."

Do i want money?
To be honest i rarely think of money except for the inconvenience of having to take care of things. budgets bills etc. There has been scarcity most of my life but always it has worked out OK.

I'm not too materialistic. I grew up poor. Around me was much greater poverty. The real deal in white man's view but not as my neighbors would measure it. Shacks with tarpaper flappin' in the wind - it looked pretty meagre but the real wealth was the salmon in the bay and the wild berries, great cedars. I still feel this way. It is very, very hard for me to spend too much time outside wild places. (even if i do complain about the frikkin rats)

I know for sure with my son, my brother and myself - possibly my grandfar that all of us have a concept of no time. We remember outside time and often the future and past are interchangeable for us. Doubtful that would be universal to the direct wobbly but maybe it assists us, somehow makes it easier for us to grasp and bring into our mundane reality

Different thought
Looking at the wobbly node at least in my family we who have this aspect live more in our Suns than our moons.

We all have strong and deep emotions and finely tuned senses but we are not emotionally reactive.

Your comment about people are ready to be sold sparked this direction of thought. This seems to be some aspect of how we use our moon in today's society where we respond emotionally to things. Maybe this also goes along with your theory of the dominance of the feminine energy.

Does the Node direct act as a mini eclipse? Does this allow the sun to be used more creatively?

The emotionalism i'm speaking of is of course the one you speak of here so often; the victim, the neediness.
I will think about this as i work today.

I will think about this too. It's an interesting thought since most play the victim role. A different use of the feminine makes sense. I think as we think we can factor in the fact that when the node and sun are in the same sign the moon is direct more often.

Kadimiros, this is utterly fascinating. Thank you so very much. Can you believe the timing? How he poppoed into RU just when he did. I've been studying his work and didn't know exactly why.

This is amazing. There must be universal themes in the human psyche and the artist is appointed to articulate them. This could be part of why they are thought of as eccentric. They live in a warp of some sort. Scientists too?

It ties into the wobbly node (I'm sure he was one) and timelessness. He suffered a great deal but didn't seem bothered by it. The whimsy I was talking about was one of his trademarks in the face of suffering. Oh this is interesting.

I feel his presence now. speaking of his timelessness. The whimsy. Is he delivering a message as the Pisces NN finishes up? Where are the universal themes indicated in astrology?

What do you think of this?

Are the themes remembered specificlly important? Are we here basically to decode and translate? Is there nothing new? I am blown away by this.
Are shapes and colors more of a language than we know? Omg. I'm so glad I have you as friends.

Is the earth warming now to teach us? Did the Jupiter-Uranus square deliver a revved up message in a bottle? Something's got me looking forward to the conjunction and the Aries ingress and I don't know exactly why, other than I'm an Aries rising.:-)

What do i think?
Paul Klee 18 December 1879
a wobbly node. Very unusual the direct then retrgrade then direct and retrograge- it required two cycles before it returned to the station.
No wait it was THREE cycles before returning to its station. One right after the other over several days in Aquarius.

AND his Sun is in the GC where Pluto is now!
plus sag moon and mars.

boy this would be interesting for a keen astrologer like you to look at more closely jm.

Yes
They literally are.
This is what i have discovered with my researches into the stone dances the standing stones that are all over scandinavia -including above the arctic circle. (which was once a moderate climate)
And the sagas tell the tale. Not just that but the namnsdags are the story of the energy portals.

This is the stuff i've been allowing to fill up my brain that is looking for a way into written form.

And i do believe that energies are directed to join for specific purposes. The comos is a living thing. We are just infants learning a language but it is repeated in patterns everywhere.

the Big Bog,
and was astounded to learn that it has similarities to the bogs in Ireland. This made me think of you but I forgot about it until now. Anyway, in fact, the entire northern hemisphere's boglands and peatlands appear to be one organism when viewed from space. Of course, they have been fragmented and damaged by human activity, but they're still there.

There have been some mighty interesting archaeological finds in bogs.
Bogs are a unique earth form like oceans they float and communicate with hard soils and water so completely differently.

"Part of Paul's message with his Sagittarius in the GC is for us not to worry, not to be afraid. We are part of a larger thing and we are safe. I know this. The connecting cord."

A profound man there. I'm reviewing some of his quotations. I remember how one teacher loved to tell her students some of his whimsical definitions. "A line is a dot that went for a walk." "A drawing is simply a line going for a walk." However, they neglected to tell us the other things he had written.

Here's a few more. It's as if the echoes of the key notes he sounded in our world can still reach us through his works and his words.

One eye sees, the other feels.

In the final analysis, a drawing simply is no longer a drawing, no matter how self-sufficient its execution may be. It is a symbol, and the more profoundly the imaginary lines of projection meet higher dimensions, the better.

One does not lash hat lies at a distance. The foibles that we ridicule must at least be a little bit our own. Only then will the work be a part of our own flesh. The garden must be weeded.

The art of mastering life is the prerequisite for all further forms of expression, whether they are paintings, sculptures, tragedies, or musical compositions.

Some will not recognize the truthfulness of my mirror. Let them remember that I am not here to reflect the surface... but must penetrate inside. My mirror probes down to the heart. I write words on the forehead and around the corners of the mouth. My human faces are truer than the real ones.

I have a clear view of 12 years of history of my inner self. First the cramped self, that self with big blinkers, then the disappearance of the blinkers and the self, now gradually the reemergence of a self without blinkers.

To achieve vital harmony in a picture it must be constructed out of parts in themselves incomplete, brought into harmony only at the last stroke.

Standing at his appointed place, at the trunk of the tree, he does nothing other than gather and pass on what comes to him from the depths. And the beauty at the crown is not his own. He is merely a channel.

Klee speaking about his friend Franz Marc:

Marc is more human, he loves more warmly...there is something of the Faust in him, a need to be saved. Always asking questions, but lacking the quiet assurnce of faith ... he has the feminine trait of wanting to share his treasures with everyone. The fact that not everyone followed him filled him with misgivings about his path>

There is something to this 26 Sag.

I don't love animals and every sort of creature with an earthly warmth. I don't descend to them or raise them to myself (like Marc) ... the earth-idea gives ways to the world-idea...everything Faustian is alien to me. I place myself at a remote starting point of creation, whence I state a priori formulas for men, beasts, plants, stones, and the elements, and for all whirling forces ...

Oh, one can go on and on with his observations. The man was gifted and trained in music, and he wrote extensively his observations as he studied the arts.

A few more quotes demonstrate the scope:

To emphasize only the beautiful seems to me to be like a mathematical system that only concerns itself with positive numbers.

Each energy calls for its complementary energy to achieve self-contained stability based on the play of energies.

Genius is the error in the system.

He has found his style, when he cannot do otherwise.
