October Dramas

We are now in a rather tumultuous astral zone...to be more precise planet Mars in Cancer is about to Conjunct the South Node in Cancer at 26 degrees (Exact on Oct 9)...as this event closes, Mars in Cancer gains more and more power, often destructively so. With all the natural events in the South Pacific, Indonesia, and now the Philippines are partially related to that.

Beyond natural events, we may also experience violence (Mars), perhaps domestic dramas (Cancer). Then you have the bombing of the Moon that day (LCross mission)...those who do not know this, the Moon rules the sign of Cancer where this conjunction occurs.

Generally, emotions are bound to errupt; people are more reactive, moody, and insecure. A lot of relationship shakeups--in short, these earthquakes are not only happening inIndonesia, but within our psyche too.

Vat tou dou?

Are we doomed to instability, strife, and frustration? yes...well...no...perhaps!

I forgot the best part: planet Saturn is in its last degrees of Virgo and about to move into Libra (end of October) Nice...except it is greeted by a square to Pluto, which is already in the making.

To summerize Saturn/Pluto angular aspects...the last one happended in 2001 (a year to remember). This is one of the most challenging aspects there is... shaking structural systems and geological ones. Natural and political events will rock our world (what else is new?)

I will write more about Saturn in Libra, but the last words about Saturn leaving Virgo...where it has made us more aware of inefficiency, of health-care deficiency, of emplyoment ciency, Saturn is requiring maturation and development--failing that, it causes stagnation, and even depression. We have to step up!

Going back to our question: Vat tou dou?
First, become conscious of these energies and do not get carried away when you see negativity knocking at the door. Reflect and observe if the conflict is worth it, if you need to put more fuel to the fire...Shake-ups are not bad, but pick your fights.,..those really worth fighting!

And then respond to the need for change. If you realize your life is not what you want it to be, you will have the opportunity now, and also later (2010) to make the necessary changes. Political systems need to change and they will...but it is always a demanding process, a consuming one. Yet, while the path is steep, reaching the top is gratifying.

If emotions fly out, see what they have to tell you...any truth you have been trying to hide for too long? (Poor Letterman...what a fool...)

Importantly, contribute to raise positive vibes...meditate, pray, protect yourself, greet people lovingly, and plant trees! You are also invited to protect the Moon as it will be aggressed on Oct 9.
Keep peace in your prayers and keep those Israeli and Iranians away from each other...

AND last and not least, as these challenges are potentially causing stress, our immune system weakens, so here are remedies for a healthy body and spirit:
Cold showers, raw garlic, cayenne pepper, green magma, and some yoga! (Yeah!)
>>>no need to become a swine with a flu!
