 Clarifying the Timeline of Change: 2012 and Beyond!
June 24, 2012 is the “critical mass” point, the date of the initial partile pass of Uranus in first-quarter square to Pluto (exactly 90° ahead).

Think of 2012 as the tipping point past which a Brave New World awaits and will unfold. more >>

 Living in Season: Learning the Names of Plants
The Swedish botanist, Carl Linnaeus, was the first person to develop a coherent system for naming plants. His surname means linden tree.

When the Holy Spirit descended upon the Apostles at Pentecost, they entered a higher state of consciousness, and traveled near and far, spreading their Teacher’s message of love fearlessly throughout the world.

 Memorial to All We Lost on 9-11-2001
September 11, 2011
In 1975 I lived in the financial district, two blocks from Wall Street near Trinity Church in an office building with a bathroom down the hall & a shower upstairs 6 flights. A group of artists moved into this commercial building with the landlord's blessing as long as we didn’t ask him for anything other than the right to live in what was a commercially zoned building, where we could watch the Twin Towers being built from our roof. more >>

 Uranus-Pluto and the Murdoch Meltdown
September 11, 2011
From mid-2012 until late-2015, Uranus and Pluto will jockey for position around a 90° arc between them. Seven times over that period, they will be exactly perpendicular. Only two previous Uranus-Pluto transits were comparable: a seven-pass transit from 1755-1758 that set up the American revolution, and a nine-pass transit from 1496-1500, that marked the beginnings of colonization of the western hemisphere by Europeans. The 2010s will be just as important. more >>

 Can Nothing Stop the Education Reform Bubble?
August 4, 2011
The standardized testing educational system is to blame for many of the deficiencies in our schools. The Bubble silences debate and speech; it is a quieting force, suffusing the classroom in silence. It centralizes knowledge in the hands of the state, the federal government, and testing industry, taking it out of the hands of classroom teacher, local communities, parents, and ultimately, students themselves, who are increasingly mandated to submit to its authority without recourse, without debate. more >>

 The Ruling Elites Are Not Like You and Me
August 2, 2011
The Uranus-Pluto alignment that defines the 2010s is the most significant
of all decades where those configuations occurred — more than than the revolutionary 1780s and 1850s, more than the convulsive 1930s, more than the turbulent and world-changing 1960s! The ruling elites will be hard-pressed to maintain their power as social, governmental, and commercial institutions lose coherence and break
down. So they've declared war on the rest of us! more >>

 San Onofre: The Trillion Dollar Threat to Southern California
July 14, 2011
Over the years, SoCal's San Onofre Nuclear Plant has leaked an enormous amount of tritium into the environment -- dozens of teaspoons' worth! Of course, that doesn't SOUND like a lot!
But it takes tens of billions of gallons of water to dilute it to safe standards! That should be a clue to tritium's extreme toxicity. In fact, the current regulations are probably way too lax. Too much tritium gets out, and permissible levels are too high. more >>

Feeling stressed? You're not alone. The Sun, Uranus, Mars, Mercury retrograde and Jupiter are all in Aries, opposed by the Moon and Saturn retrograde in Libra. All these planets are part of a T-Square formation which features Pluto retrograde in Capricorn as the linchpin.

The acidity of the tomatoes & the peaches seems to complement one another. If you're a corn, tomato or peach lover like we are, their abundance now in the late summer makes this a fast & easy relish to add the sun's energy to any meal! more >>

 Dance of Oil
December 7, 2000
It looks as if oil politics could be the vehicle for George W. Bush to define his administration's geo-strategic principles, solidify support in Congress, reward his supporters in the energy "bidness" and unify the country behind his foreign policy, just as it was for his father.
