Cardinal T-cross in 2010

Dunno if it's good or bad news...

Apparently, the last time there were powerful aspects similar to this between Saturn, Pluto and Uranus was, erm.....just before the Wall Street Crash.

Then again, these palnets came togwether in the late 60's and whilst there was plenty of unrest in the world at thwe time, there was not actually a major slump.

I would imagine that there may be a lot more polarisaton between those who want to see more controls, more law and order etc and betweenthose who want more freedom, porbably against a backdrop where there might be a lot to get polarised about.

Never get old by David Bowie

Better take care
Think I better go, better get a room
Better take care of me
Again and again

I think about this and I think about personal history
Better take care
I breathe so deep when the movie gets real
When the star turns round
Again and again
He looks me in the eye says he's got his mind on a countdown 3-2-1
Forever

I'm screaming that I'm gonna be living on till the end of time
Forever
The sky splits open to a dull red skull
My head hangs low 'cause it's all over now

And there's never gonna be enough money
And there's never gonna be enough drugs
And I'm never ever gonna get old
There's never gonna be enough bullets
There's never gonna be enough sex
And I'm never ever gonna get old
So I'm never ever gonna get high
And I'm never ever gonna get low
And I'm never ever gonna get old

Better take care

The moon flows on to the edges of the world because of you
Again and again
And I'm awake in an age of light living it because of you
Better take care
I'm looking at the future solid as a rock because of you
Again and again

Wanna be here and I wanna be there
Living just like you, living just like me
Forever
Putting on my gloves and bury my bones in the marshland
Forever
Think about my soul but I don't need a thing just the ring of the bell in the pure clean air

And I'm running down the street of life
And I'm never gonna let you die
And I'm never ever gonna get old
And I'm never ever gonna get
I'm never ever gonna get
I'm never ever gonna get old
And I'm never ever gonna get
And I'm never ever gonna get
Never ever gonna get old

July 30-31, 2010: This marks another intense few days. Mars joins Saturn at 0° 49' Libra, opposing the Moon, Jupiter, and Uranus in Aries and squared by Pluto. Again, large masses of people may be affected by so much planetary energy concentrated near the cardinal points. Since cardinal signs are action-related, there may be a lot of people on the move (demonstrators, troops, refugees). The Mars-Saturn conjunction is on the Mid heaven in Indonesia, China, and the South China Sea, creating conditions for a crisis in that area. Mountain Astrologer

August 6-7, 2010: A cardinal grand cross is formed, involving Jupiter-Uranus in Aries, Pluto in Capricorn, the Moon in early Cancer, and Venus joining Mars and Saturn in early Libra. The Sun at 15° Leo makes stressful aspects (45°/135°) to the entire grand cross. We'll need to remain calm and balanced to deal with the relentlessly stressful aspects this summer. The electricity grid may be threatened; unusual Earth or weather changes could be part of the picture. Mountain Astrologer

Yes, I seem a bit preoccupied, but anyone remotely interested in astrology and the near future HAS TO READ THIS:

Money is a symbolic of shakti (energy), the knowledge pertaining to it's right use is power - Still, it's just energy on it's most base level...The effect on the international monetary system will be quite modest compared to the effect on global consciousness.

I don't mean to discount doomsday chronicles. I think dwelling on these things creates a mindset that isn't healthy. Perhaps I'm also too cynical, but a few things I've "lived through" include:

1. In 1917, the apparitions to the children of Fatima gave the children three secrets. The third secret was supposedly opened by the Pope, and it was said that the message would be known in 1960, and that it was frightening and horrible and we're all going to die, etc. etc. etc. Big news. The world did not come to an end in 1960. And the Pope didn't reveal the secret.

2. Edgar Cayce, the sleeping prophet, said that in the 1970s the eastern coast of the United States would be under water. Not exactly, but the country was consumed with WATERgate at the time.

3. In 1999, there were books being written about how the world would go into total annihilation because the computers weren't up to speed for Y2K. Not to be forgotten, in the year 999, half the population of Europe was convinced that the world would come to an end in 1000. Many gathered in churches on New Year's Eve, and some even died of fright. The world, as you may have noticed, did not come to an end in 1000.

4. Nostradamus supposedly predicted the end of the world in 1999, and the eclipse of August, 1999 that featured a horrific grand cross was the harbinger of this. Since then, that eclipse is given as the reason for just about everything that has happened. Some awful stuff, yes, but has there ever been a time on earth when there wasn't? Also, people said that Nostradamus "never predicted beyond 1999." Not true.

It's safe to say, I think, that we can experience, and have continued to experience, the end of the world AS WE KNOW IT. Sept. 11, 2001 certainly ended the world as we once knew it.

And now we have the Mayan prophecy. I would recommend anyone concerned about it should go to an article that attempts to shed the light of reason on this. I'm sure the article has flaws in it, but a different viewpoint never hurt anyone. The URL is:

A quote from that article:

The fact that the winter solstice on 2012 is "aligned" with the plane of the Galaxy has no significance.
It takes the winter solstice 700-1400 years to cross the plane of the Galaxy.
The solstice last year (2005) was within 0.1 degrees (or 1/5th the size of the Sun) of where it will be on 2012.
The Sun crosses the plane of the Milky Way twice every year with no ill effect.

A number of years ago, I wrote a poem re Nostradamus and his prophecies. The last two stanzas suddenly come to mind:

It’s wonderful
That he did know
Just when the world
Would likely go.

But did he see
What’s really sad
The worlds unstarted
Lives not had.

Thanks, Partha, for allowing me to vent.

What of 2009?

This is from the Book of Enoch, in an augury that astrologers know the time is up.

2. And he took up his parable and said--Enoch a righteous man, whose eyes were opened by God, saw the vision of the Holy One in the heavens, ⌈which⌉ the angels showed me, and from them I heard everything, and from them I understood as I saw, but not for this generation, but for a remote one which is for to come.
