The New American Revolution is here! Mercury and Venus reach the opposition point to Jupiter, granting new insights regarding what we have learned and have yet to integrate into our growth process this year. We may be inspired by new ideas for expansion that build on what we’ve done since early April. The opposition of Mercury-Venus to Jupiter-- especially in the financial/possession signs of Taurus-Scorpio-- speaks volumes about the philosophical divide between the "haves" and the "have nots." What kind of society do we CHOOSE to live in? Who do we support? Why? Who do we think/feel should be on the receiving end, and who is 'supposed to' simply accept the role of giving without even the thought or hope of appreciation or reward? To be truly whole, to embrace both sides, we need to be open to bridging gaps. Those who enjoy prosperity and receiving, need to give. While those who give, need to receive. While we are all equal spiritually, the physical world rewards some and not others. It is, as always, our choice to be whole-- or to approach life from one side only. Yet, the concern is that Mars (ruler of Scorpio) is square the Mercury-Venus opposition to Jupiter, meaning that we really do need to take action. And Uranus in Aries (also ruled by Mars) is currently Retrograde and approaching 0 Aries once again. If we don't want to change, we are likely to experience change that happens TO us. If that's not enough of a clue that we are in a transition period, Uranus will arrive (again) at 0 Aries 59 on November 11, 20111, that's 11:11:11. The date of The Shift. (Uranus will be at 0 Aries from November 11, 2011 - January 7, 2012) In my opinion, astrology is about the process of self-discovery. If we think we already know all the answers, then we forfeit the process of discovery. Is self-discovery something we believe we have evolved beyond. And if we are not interested in discovery, if we only want "The Answer" in a sound byte, then what does astrology become in our lives? The belief that it's more expedient to find someone to blame than to discover ourselves, blocks our path to the ever unfolding process of self-discovery. If you study astrology, you know that while we are all equal spiritually (we all have a chart with all the planets), we all have different strengths and weaknesses. All our contributions are worthwhile, but not all pay well. There is a discrepancy and it's fueled by our values. What and who do we believe has value, and who deserves to take the lion's share.
The Moon in Gemini makes all the right connections, giving us more clues to what’s coming on the next Saturn cycle and what we want to create. At 3:18 pm, the Moon goes void of course on a dream note as it trines Neptune to complete a grand trine in Air for the day. It’s a wonderful energy for achieving peaceful, fruitful, and long-standing agreements. The Moon enters Cancer at 6:38 pm, opening us to unresolved matters that make us restless as she squares Uranus at bedtime. A trine to Chiron gives us a release valve for stored wounded energies.

The Day of Mars in Airweek. Mars hasn't always been a god of War. More
powerfully cool to blast ejaculations of dragonbreath fireballs at the mainstream media charade, to shoot fireworks out the business ends of elf flamethrowers at the fleeing asses of slum lords and their hired thugs, and Trans-corporate monopolies.. Our failure or unwillingness to alter our ways, our inability or refusal to change the direction of this nation and the continued indifference or complicity to the plight of billions has unmasked us all The man who invented aikido was a samurai who became a pacifist & refused to fight for Japanese imperialism. He became a hermit, lived on a mountain sitting under a tree.. One day a former fellow-samurai came to visit him & accused him of betrayal, cowardice, etc. The hermit said nothing, but kept on sitting--& the other fell into a rage, drew his sword, & struck. Spontaneously the unarmed master disarmed the samurai & returned his sword. Again & again the officer tried to kill, using every subtle kata in his repertoire--but out of his empty mind the hermit each time invented a new way to disarm him. The samurai of course became his first disciple. Later, they learned how to dodge bullets. We might contemplate some form of metadrama meant to capture a taste of this performance, which gave rise to a wholly new art, a totally non-violent way of fighting--war without murder, "the sword of life" rather than death The Moon in Cancer makes harmonious aspects all day starting with a an optimistic sextile to Jupiter at 7:32 a.m., a brilliant trine to Mercury at 10:30 a.m. and beautiful trine to Venus at 6:00 p.m. encouraging the powers of Love, sweet Love.

Today has no walls, it’s entirely comprised of interior. You can see patterns everywhere, if you choose to. The longer you look, the more intricate they become; look away, and they’re gone. Lacework nerve-cathedrals of confounding microcircuitous elegance, fabulously vivid and animated beyond belief. The Moon is at home in Cancer again today. .The Moon squares the Sun (at an approaching angle of) 90 degrees at 8:31 p.m. which is why today is the beginning of what we call Earthweek. The Last Quarter Moon is the exact point of the Moon squaring the Sun on the final arc of the lunar cycle. This aspect will amplify the parts of our lives that need balancing. Square up the little details that make you crazy when you neglect them. Finish up details of projects you started at the last New Moon. Sort out your harvest from the last Full Moon; decide what works and get rid of what doesn't.
