Faith and Confidence

Troubled Waters
Uranus Disturbs the Seas

Ja, JM, we are at a moment of reckoning and it is all about values rather than money. We think it's about money but what is underlying everything is how we use our resources to create comfort and security.Tseka

Our survival depends on separation now and we're going to do it. The Pluto return is another declaration, bringing power even further into the hands of the collective. That's why this administration is perfect in its weakness. The Uranus in Aries square will be really interesting in terms of autonomy, both state and individual. The weakness on the top is serving to pull out the strength on the bottom.Jm

If you care for this country and have been paying attention, there's not much chance that you aren't upset right now about the economic bill coming through Congress -- its weakness and obvious potential for failure. This was correctly predicted by metaphysicians, economists, and overall wise observant people. The repair of the country's economy will not come easily. But it will come. Nothing in the process can be deleted. Hard earned relief is bound to be the end result.

No matter what the politicians do or don't do as the case will probably be, most people will be all right. We live in a reasonably decent country when contrasted with all the others on the planet, and we always do well with adversity. Some thrive in these conditions, and people pride themselves in whizzing through successfully.

The current crisis marks the beginning of the Pluto in Capricorn transit and in a few weeks, Pluto will be opposite US Venus making a station. No wonder this is happening now. As Tseka stated, values are in question.

It's not the Republicans' fault entirely, nor is it just the Democrats', corrupt as they all are. It's not even ours. It's just a step in the sequence of growth experiences, under the auspices of Pluto, ruler of collective evolution. Nothing could have been done to prevent it, considering the laws of cause and effect which govern life in the universe.

When Pluto moves off Venus in May, Neptune will be going retrograde, and some feelings of collective despair can be expected, as high as hopes were during the recent campaign and inauguration. Fair enough in the great balancing mechanism. But at the same time, Saturn goes direct, so some signs of possible repair could be coming in too. When Pluto reaches the 0 degree and goes direct, the next Saturn-Uranus opposition will arrive for a continuation in the breaking and separation from the nation's governmental system. The will has to be there and these events are creating it. Uranus can be disturbing as stable reality is upset making way for improved alternatives. One more occurs deep in Virgo-Pisces and then when Aries-Libra arrives, the necessary schism will be well underway. No politician is supposed to fix it now. We will do that ourselves together with them when the time comes.

As Uranus finishes in Pisces, the inevitable realization that we can't control outside circumstance is due to be absorbed. Going with the flow is the cliche often used, but it's true. "You are a leaf in the river of life," says my beloved cliche-loving Gemini friend with his charming and knowing smile. Surrender is a must and by the time Uranus leaves, we'll be ready and energized to begin anew in Aries. Dissolution, hopelessness, and feelings of being adrift and out of control can characterize this configuration. But also empathy and togetherness will likely be a part of the phase. People naturally pull together during troubled times.

This is a time not to shape the course of events nor to predict too accurately what's ahead. That will come a little bit later. This is preparation. Out of the confusion emerges a better direction. Most of all with Pisces comes its greatest gift -- genuine faith.
