Cosmic Weather Forecast

Perform a Saturnine reality check to counter the Neptunian fog, Piscean emotional tsunamis and assorted astral glamours thisfull Moon. Stay grounded, centered and balanced!

This Full Moon in Pisces conjunct Neptune, in the wake of Hurricane Harvey, the water element predominates in the physical, astral and mental realms of being. Boundaries and structures are dissolving, in inner and outer worlds, and we are challenged by a turbo-charged emotional atmosphere in which even the most stolid experience trans-personal, empathic connections that call forth a heart-centered response to the suffering we see around us.

It is time for a New New Deal. The disaster in New Orleans is so immense that only a co-ordinated, co-operative national response is adequate to the occasion. Nothing less than a total re-orientation of our society and our way of life will do.

It is a time of seasonal transition in our little world, and a time of environmental, cultural, and spiritual transformation for the world at large. It is only by opening our hearts that we can heal our personal afflictions and help heal global wounds.

Feeling down, helpless, and overwhelmed? The stars say that's about to end. Read all about it. This week’s newsletter also includes stories from around the web featuring the first hints of the positive, revolutionary changes coming in the next decades.

This newsletter is devoted to news of recent world developments that are of great concern to us all. Be sure to read through the entire article if you can, because there is a message of hope at the end!

If we are to rise up and fulfill our full potential, if we are to achieve our Higher Purpose, we must be willing to stretch ourselves to new heights, to leave our comfort zone and enter a new land with no map or compass. We must find ways to get our leaders to listen, and to make the changes that most Americans know are essential to our future and the future of our children.

In this newsletter, using research compiled over the last two years from honest and reliable financial experts, environmentalists, independent journalists and famous astrologers, I will give you a bird’s eye view of the current global financial crisis, provide you with a clear outline of its scope, depth and probable duration, and together we will take a look at the BIG picture – the cultural, political, economic, social and environmental changes set to totally transform human civilization during the next decade.

On an individual level, and on a global scale, the current global crises, reflected in the stars by the Grand Cardinal Cross of Summer 2010, challenge us to transcend our conflicts with others and to find ways to work together for our mutual benefit and for the overall good of humanity.

The chart for the spiritual new year in 2011, at zero degrees Aries, is very powerful and positive. Throughout the days to come, through the Full Moon, and past the Equinox, for the next month let us meditate together, pray together, and send energy, Reiki, and blessings to the Japanese people and to the elementals, the devas, the nature spirits in Japan, especially in the radiation-afflicted areas.

At the time of this Libra Full Moon Aries Solar Festival, we celebrate the blending of the energies of Aries and Libra. Esoterically, Aries represents the egoistic personality, and Libra the Cosmic Equilibrium of the Higher Self.

The good news is that the worst of the Grand Cardinal Cross aspects are behind us. Although the full effects of this seven year period of global turbulence will take several more years to manifest, this Libra Solar Festival weekend marks a new beginning, an opportunity to tune in to our Inner Spiritual Guidance and ask for the wisdom we require to forge new priorities and creative new ways of living that are more in tune with our needs during the current crisis of 21st Century civilization.
