MERCURY RETRO IN PISCES & VIRGO FULL MOON

 MERCURY RETROGRADE IN PISCES
FEB 23 - MARCH 17, 2013

You may have been feeling it...some people are so sensitive that they "get it" before it happens.  Mercury will turn retrograde on Saturday, February 23rd and will turn direct on March 17, 2013.  Mercury, planet of communications in Pisces, the spiritual sign that says "I Believe" may cause confusion and misunderstandings all by itself, and then when it turns retrograde in Pisces there's a need to really be clear when communicating with others.  Already the week leading up to the retrograde we've heard stories about Chinese hackers targeting American computers and creating cyber havoc on social networks and the networks of American companies.  Of course the Chinese government has denied any hacking...and the beat goes on. 

SLOW IT DOWN
For the next 22 days, while Mercury is retrograde it's a good idea to slow down and take each day as it comes.  I've talked to many people who all of a sudden got thrown into the job as being caregiver for a family member and/or friend and their schedules have moved from busy to super busy.  I've talked to family members and/or friends who've said "I didn't sign up for this", or "this seemed to come out of the blue".  My advice is to tell all caregivers to only do what they can do because "you can't give from an empty cup".  My other advice is to "do everything in a spirit of love". People don't get sick on purpose so it's suddenly happening to them, while it's happening to the people who care about them.  For all of us, the way to flow through this retrograde period is by giving up the need to control the circumstances in our lives. 

PRAY, MEDITATE AND LET GO
Regardless of what's happening in your life, whether it's a sudden promotion to chief caregiver, or if it's just dealing with glitches in your computer, you can flow when you let go of the need to control outer circumstances.  Retrograde Mercury in Pisces should inspire us to get back to our spiritual practices which include sincere prayer and meditation.  The direction to go is inside, dealing with our internal energies and our reaction to the external energies.  We can also use positive affirmations during this next 22 day cycle and monitor our self talk and the things we say about what's happening in our life.  A simple affirmation like "all my needs are met" is a powerful group of words that will help us to recenter and know that everything is going to turn out all right.  We're learning to be patient with ourselves and others and this will keep us calm and even lower our blood pressure.  " I live in love, joy and peace" is another affirmation that focuses on what we want as opposed to what we don't want.  If we have to go back over something, if we have to look for something, if something breaks or needs to be repaired, it's our attitude that will help us deal with it.  So try not to stress out when stuff happens, but go into your spiritual practice to make a conscious connection to the God within. 

FULL MOON IN VIRGO - TAKE CARE OF YOUR HEALTH

Virgo is the sign that deals with health, work and service.  It's also the natural ruler of the 6th House of health, work and service in the astrology chart.  Over the weekend and especially on Monday, February 25th, be sure to eat nutritious foods, work out the body, swim, walk or do yoga or pilates, but be sure to treat your body like the beautiful gift that it is.  With work, give thanks for your job and co-workers, even if you're working in a job that you don't like.  Working or not working, see yourself as being in service to others.  One good affirmation for people who are working on jobs they don't love is to say (on your way to job) "I have a wonderful job, with wonderful pay and my co-workers treat me in a wonderful way".  Say it, even if it's not true.  If you're looking for a job say" there's a wonderful job, with wonderful pay, that has co-workers who treat me in a wonderful way".  Full Moon in Virgo, one of the service signs, should inspire us to do little random acts of service for others.  That might just mean picking up the phone and calling your aunt Susie and asking her how she's doing.  Or giving a smile to a stressed out mother in the supermarket, or asking the cashier in the store "how are you today?"  The flip side of Virgo is the cynic or judgmental energy that points out what's wrong as opposed to focusing on what's right.  When we're judging others we're building stress in our physical bodies.  Many doctors now agree that stress creates illness.  Stress is our reaction to the things we don't want.  Adopting an attitude of gratitude can decrease the stress.  Giving thanks for what we have in our lives, even if it's not everything we want, can magically draw to us our blessings.  Full Moon in Virgo...work on yourself. Be healthy, be loving and live in joy.

CHRISTOPHER DORNER: AVENGING ANGEL OR HEARTLESS DEVIL?

CHRISTOPHER DORNER:
JUNE 4, 1979
        
 NO SURPISES
                                                                         
Of course we had to take a look. Christopher Dorner the cop who was hunted down and burned to death last week was born on June 4, 1979.  Interesting that he was a Gemini, because he did leave a well written manifesto explaining his actions.  I was not surprised that Dorner didn't kill the couple he ran into at the cabin he was hiding in, nor did he kill the man and his dog, when he took his truck.  Dorner's Moon was in Libra, the sign of fairness and justice. He went "rogue" when the scales of justice (symbol for Libra) swung the other way  when he reported his partner for abusing a man who was in their custody. Moon in Libra people have a tendency to speak up when their rights or the rights of others are ignored. Instead of punishing his partner,  Police officials fired Dorner.   Even though the man who was kicked by his partner, testified at the hearings, and the man's father also came forward to back up the story,  and there was physical evidence of the abuse, officials decided that Dorner was the liar and fired him on the grounds that he  submitted a false statement.  Dorner had broken the code between policemen. He had broken the blue wall of silence and he had to be punished.   This story doesn't make much sense until you add the racial component, i.e. Dorner was Black, his partner was white.  We will never know if Dorner was set up after he became a whistle blower, as he didn't live long enough to prove his innocence for the alleged crimes he was accused of.   All we really know is what we were told by the media..."Breaking News, rogue cop being sought for killing two civilians" etc. etc.  
THE MEDIA FRENZY BEGINS

As CNN broke the story about a rogue cop that was the subject of a massive manhunt we saw file pictures of  Christopher Dorner who was a huge Black man with an infectious smile.  We saw Dorner at the pistol range firing his weapon, and they even brought in experts to point out  how skilled he was and more importantly how dangerous he was.  We learned that Dorner once served in the army where he received special training and then he joined the LAPD where he was also classified as a specialist in weapontry.  What I was waiting for was any evidence that he indeed took the life of two people, one of which was related to a retired police officer.  I couldn't get it out of my mind that in all the pictures Christopher Dorner was smiling, and he had kind eyes.  He didn't look like a serial killer (to me) but you could see that he knew alot about guns and apparently loved using them.  Interviews of the couple who came in contact with him, verified what I was thinking, i.e. "he had kind eyes, he was calm, polite and kept telling us he wouldn't hurt us."  And he kept his promise.  If he was indeed a crazed killer (media words), he would have killed everyone he came in contact with, like the psychotic killer in the movie theater in Colorado,  and the mentally ill killer of small children in Connecticut.  

  

WHEN YOU LAY DOWN WITH DOGS...
My grandmother used to say the above, when she was lecturing us about our choice of friends "honey when you lay down with dogs, you're going come up with fleas".  Hmmm.  During the manhunt what came up for me was how could this man with the infectious smile turnout to be the subject of the biggest manhunt in this country?  What was it that attracted him to first the army and then the LAPD?  Was it his love of guns?  Back to his Solar Chart (time unknown), Christopher Dorner had a conjunction (tight connection between Venus, planet of love and Mars, which can be guns or other instruments of death. These two planets were in Taurus, a fixed earth sign that is known for unwavering opinions. A college friend told a reporter that Chris was a very honest man who lived by a high code of honor.  We were told that Dorner was very skilled with guns and even received honors/awards for his abilities from both the army and then the LAPD.  He sent one of his awards to the media, with three bullet holes in it and Anderson Cooper of CNN, kept showing it over and over again.  We know very little about the life of Dorner, how he was raised, who raised him, and why he felt that joining the LAPD was a good career option.  Did he think that joining the "brotherhood" of policemen would be a way to satisfy his obvious love of guns and his Libra Moon sense of fairness and justice?  One other side effect of Libra Moon people is they want to be liked and they sometimes sacrifice their individuality to have friends.  But when they experience a betrayal of friendship, the Libra scales can shift and a good friend turns out to be an enemy.  Wondering how many of the cops who participated in the manhunt for Dorner were once friends who became deadly enemies?


THE MANIFESTO

Christopher Dorner was a bright and intelligent Gemini, with the gift of writing. He wrote an 11 page manifesto which he posted on line and sent to media affiliates. CNN pulled out psychologists who said they read his writings and indeed he was crazy. So, I went on line and read it myself.  In the manifesto Dorner focuses in on the whole story about his firing. He also wrote about incidents where he witnessed blatant racism and police brutality towards the citizens that police officers had sworn to protect and serve.  He also threatened to get even with the officers and officials who participated in his firing.  There was one sentence that caught my eye where he said "you have preyed on others and now you're going to become the prey".  Probably the "experts" who said Dorner's Manifesto showed signs of paranoia, were reacting to his claims of racism, the  same way that white people who thought the  beating of  Rodney King was justified. Even though King was handcuffed and on the ground, some white people said  he was resisting arrest..."why doesn't he stop moving?" They couldn't see what was right in front of them...Rodney King's body  kept moving because he was not only being repeatedly hit with clubs but he was also being tased with tasers, and kicked.  Incidentally, Dorner mentioned the Rodney King case in his manifesto and stated that the LAPD has not changed, but in fact has gotten worse. 

   

LEGAL LYNCHING

While watching police saying "we want to bring him to justice", my gut and experience told me "no they don't... they want to lynch him". Everything was put in place to kill Christopher Dorner, i.e. negative media, accusations that he killed innocent people, an unprecedented million dollar reward, hundreds of cops armed with assault weapons,  reminded me of a lynch mob going out for the kill.  This was a perfect scenario for a legal lynching. We never believed that the fire was "accidental", and when we heard the tape of gungho cops saying "burn the (expletive), we knew that he would be burned to death. We've witnessed many legal lynchings in this country, like Amadou Diallo, who was gunned down by 4 cops because they thought the wallet he was holding was a gun.   Then there was Ramarley Graham, who was gunned down by two cops in his grandmother's bathroom because they thought he had a gun,then there was Trayvon Martin who was killed by a wantabee cop as he was walking through his father's neighborhood.   I was convinced that Christopher Dorner was going to be added to the list of legal lynchings in this country.
                                                                          
                                                               PSYCHIC HITS AND MEMES
                                                                                
Whenever there's a newstory that takes over the media, everyone who sees it is affected. Memes are defined as media spin that connects to the minds of people. Most times these memes are circulated on the internet and sometimes they are circulated on television as "Breaking News".  The meme is believed because it verifies an already long held belief. A meme could be true or false. When the story of Christopher Dorner was breaking news, a meme or long held belief that he was being set up, came to mind.  That was based on experience in other police brutality cases that surfaced while I was in the civil rights movement.  I can remember working to clear the name of a young man who was an accused cop killer, who was gunned down by police during a manhunt.  When the truth came out, we discovered that the policemen and the civilian who had been killed, were all shot by police weapons.  Also working on the Edmond Perry case, a young man who was killed by an undercover cop. The media painted him as a drug dealer and blamed his brother for the shooting. Our investigation proved that Edmond Perry was a squeaky clean, high school graduate, who had been accepted to 3 different ivy league colleges.  His brother was a law student and both young men were known to be complete teetotalers, not even drinking a beer at parties.  The cops shook down the neighborhood, arresting people who knew these young men with the intent to get someone to say they did drugs.  Alton Maddox represented Edmond's brother and got an acquittal.  I don't think the cop who killed Edmond was ever charged with his death. The Dorner story set off a meme that was in my consciousness for many years. The coverage of the Dorner manhunt also was a psychic hit that will become a meme for most informed Black people. The message was "see what happens when you become a whistleblower?" or" see what happens when you kill a cop?"   The other meme that surfaced during this whole event was the memory of seeing a picture in an African History book of a slave being burned alive. The picture is still in my memory ( a meme) and I can still "see" the faces of white people smiling and slaves watching in horror.  The intent of the slavemaster was to put fear into the hearts of slaves  "see what happens when you dont obey master?" A meme was created for all who witnessed the burning and in the minds of people who saw the picture of the event.    The Black people I talked to during the manhunt for Christopher Dorner knew it was going to end with his death.  Plus they felt we weren't getting the whole story on tv. The white people I talked to were terrorized, and I heard one man say "they need to catch him before he kills someone else."  This whole event tied into belief systems, memes, psychic hits, that were deeply embedded into everyone's consciousness. For good or for bad.  


                                                                        WE'LL NEVER KNOW

We'll never know the whole truth about what happened to Christopher Dorner, or if the cops he killed was the result of him returning fire or perpetrating fire on them. Was he the aggressor or was there a hit out for him.   My heart and prayers go out to the families of the dead, as certainly burying a loved one is no easy task.  My gut, intuition and experience tells me there's more to this story then what we've been told.  One thing we know is that Christopher Dorner created massive fear among his prior co-workers because he was a skilled marksman and because he said he wasn't afraid to die.   Surely he knew that he was a marked man and his experience and training told him he wasn't going to come out of this alive.Yet the media reported (with contempt) that Dorner  had many fans on the internet and social media. Apparently his manifesto incited many arguments among people who were in two camps.  There were articles and messages from Black men (some reporters) that told of being harrassed by cops, and there were white people who just couldn't understand why Dorner was on a rampage.  The latter apparently did not have bad experiences with cops and believed that cops were here to "protect and serve".  No matter which side you're on you have to admit that the Christopher Dorner story is a tragic one.  So many deaths, so many unanswered questions.  This Gemini, with the Moon in Libra kicked off a firestorm of mind chatter that could go on for years.  And as police, aided by the media continue to put their spin on the story, we'll never really know the truth.  People who are concerned about truth, whether they be Black or white, should meditate and listen to their inner voice of wisdom.  As Raymond Charles Barker would say "the truth is that which is really so". Was Christopher Dorner an Avenging Angel or a heartless devil? 
 Only God knows!

NEW MOON/CHINESE NEW YEAR

It seems that since Jupiter, planet of expansion and joy has been in Gemini (June 2012), things are happening in twos. Gemini is the sign of the twins and Gemini people are usually able to do more than one thing at a time. 

That said, Sunday, February 10th, there are two cosmic events, i.e. the New Moon in Aquarius and the Chinese New Year happening on the same day. 

NEW MOON IN AQUARIUS

This is a good time to reset intentions and goals for the future and to consider how we are all related.  If we realized that the only separation we have from one another is in our minds, that we all breathe the same air, drink the same water and live on the same earth, then we will understand that what happens to the least of us, actually happens to all of us.  We separate based on religion, class or ideology, however when a big storm comes our way we "get it" that what happens to me can happen to you, or vice a versa.  Why does there have to be a great tragedy or catastrophe to make us be kinder to our fellow humans?  Whatever happened to our compassion or empathy for others when we see them going through hard times?  Why is it easier to sit back and condemn and gossip about someone than to extend a helping hand?  What we'll finally realize is that it's better to say something kind, than to say something mean spirited.  Words have power and what we say about someone else will eventually come back to us.  I've lived long enough, counseled enough people and have seen the Law of Karma work in many people's lives.  I just witnessed someone going through a hard time with one of their children.  This same person had been so judgmental when the same thing was happening in their own family.  I often wonder when this karmic boomerang happens if the person realizes what's going on from a spiritual perspective.  What you do to others will eventually be done to you.  All the scriptures speak on it "do unto others as you would have them do unto you".  "As you sow, so shall ye reap".  It seems the message is clear "judge not".  Or at least get the full story before you go off spouting your opinion.  The spiritual message for the New Moon in Aquarius is WE ARE ONE.  On the 10th go out and do little random acts of kindness for others.  It will make you feel good and will make the recipient of your deeds feel good too.  Then write down you goals and intentions for the future and do it with a happy face, believing that what you vision for yourself is a possibility. 

GUNG HAY FAT CHOY
That means have a properous and happy new year.  The Chinese New Year starts on Sunday (the 10th), and even if you're not Chinese you can tie into the celebrations that are taking place all over the world.  It's the Chinese Year of the Black Water Snake.  Before coming in contact with the Chinese Zodiac, I had a strong dislike and maybe even fear of snakes.  But then I realized that our Eastern sisters and brothers don't see things the way we do.  To them the snake is a symbol of wisdom and prosperity.  It is wise and cunning and knows how to survive.  When I took up hiking in the mountains I learned that a snake won't bother you, if you don't bother it.  Often we would walk through a patch and our guide would tell us after we passed that certain snakes were living there.  Yikes!  We were also taught to be quiet while in the woods and to pass through with the thought in mind "we come in peace".  So this year of the Black Water Snake is a good year to walk in peace, to fear no evil and to do no harm.  It's also a good year to be wise about finances, to start a savings and to shop for bargains, as opposed to spending impulsively.  Natalie Ledwell of the Mind Movies group always ends her programs with this slogan: "live large, choose wisely and love without limits".  I think this is a good affirmation to take us through the Chinese Year of the Black Water Snake.  Gung Hay Fat Choy!

SUPERBOWL MOON IN SCORPIO

For years I've been predicting the winner of the Superbowl, but this time I was emotionally invested in a Ravens win so when I tried to use my cosmic tools to determine a winner, I couldn't pick.  My heart was with the Ravens and Ray Lewis, but my head said that San Francisco had the better record and maybe they could win.

BEYONCE BRINGS THE SCORPIO ENERGY TO A PEAK

For more than a week we knew that Beyonce would be the half time entertainment. Not really a fan, but I watched with interest as she shook her booty all over that stage.
The Moon was in Scorpio and the sexual energy was flowing.  What I do give her credit for is hiring women back up musicians.  Being around the music business for many years, I know how hard it is for a woman musician to get a gig.  You go Beyonce.  Plus the surprise for me was Jennifer Hudson singing with the children from Newtown, and then Alicia Keys singing the anthem and putting a jazz twist on the end.  Wowee!  Sisters in the house! 

MOON IN SCORPIO BLACK OUT

The black out during the game was a mystery and when the lights went out and official didn't seem to have a clue about why it happened I thought "oh Scorpio energy is reigning supreme".  Was it a plot by someone supporting San Francisco...hmmm!  Afterall the Ravens were winning and the loss of momentum during this unexplained black out, favored the other team.  And after the lights came back on, we saw how San Francisco used that convenient break to get their heads together and figure out how to put points on the board. 

HIND SIGHT IS 20/20

One of the reasons why I was so conflicted when trying to pick a winner was because Colin Kapernick, the amazing quarterback for San Francisco is a Scorpio.  My first thought was that since Saturn is probably on his Sun in Scorpio and then the Moon would connect with Saturn, that he would be depressed after the game.  So my first thought was San Francisco would lose.  What came to me was that he would have a good game, but he wouldn't get the support from the people around him?  And then Joe Flacco is a Capricorn, so that Saturn/Moon conjunction would be sextiling his Sun and the opportunities he would get would be fueled by the people around him. That would mean Ray Lewis, the real leader of the Ravens who was slated to retire after the Super Bowl.  Fear (false evidence appearing real) creeped into my mind at the thought that the Ravens would lose and Ray Lewis would be disappointed.  When
San Francisco started putting points on the board and it seemed they were going to win, I did what I always do when I can't take it anymore.  I got off the couch and started cleaning the fridge.  And I mean I really cleaned it and took out shelves that I haven't cleaned in years.  This was no wipe down, but it was a thorough cleaning, while still listening to the audio...another touchdown? Geez!  Better start praying.

NO WEAPON FORMED AGAINST ME

One reason why I became a fan of the Ravens is Ray Lewis.  Hadn't been watching football all season. Had an attitude about the owners and how the players are mistreated. Even though they make millions of dollars (well some of them) it would seem the NFL doesn't really care about their health and has been trying to suppress the information on the negative effects of concussions...for years.  I also have a nephew through a past marriage, but a young man that I've known since he was two years old, who is playing professional football and I'm concerned about his health.
But one day I watched the Ravens play, and saw Ray Lewis praying and pumping up his team mates...wowee!  At the end of one game that they won, but were expected to lose, I watched with interest as Ray Lewis, out of breath, but happy for the win saying
"No Weapon Formed Against Me"...ummm, I recognized that group of words from the Bible, my grandmother used to say that when I was a child. That was a curious thing for me to see this big bruisy football player spouting verses from the Bible.  I also noticed at the beginning of the Superbowl, Ray Lewis saying the same phrase and the players repeating it back to him...powerful energy.  NO WEAPON..NO WEAPON, FORMED AGAINST ME, FORMED AGAINST ME, SHALL PROSPER, SHALL PROSPER.  Now that's how they started the game.  I also noticed that San Francisco's motto, which the coach said was passed down by his father was "who has it any better than us?...noooobody!"  That was cute but not as powerful, from a spiritual perspective.  
  DOES GOD CARE WHO WINS THE SUPERBOWL?

This question came from one of my daughters who texted me during the game. Actually she wrote: "I don't think Jesus cares who wins".  Well, in competitions, someone wins and someone loses.  But I do think that the team who has the momentum, regardless of statistics, analysts or "experts", will win.  The group energy is powerful and putting out the collective belief that they will be protected creates a winning attitude that's hard to deny.  Congratulations to the Ravens and Ray Lewis.
I like athletes who share their money with others and I'm aware that Ray Lewis has cheerfully given away millions to families in need.  I became aware of his philantrophy, years ago when he paid for the funerals of a mother and her children that she killed when she drove into a lake.  And there was Ray Lewis on his way to that state saying "someone has to help".  That showed me what kind of man he was.  He didn't brag about what he was about to do, but the media told it.  God Bless you Ray Lewis.  I pray that in your retirement you'll be shown other ways to help people.  You are a perfect example of the things you believe and a blessing to all of us.

MARS IN PISCES - 2/3/13 - 3/12/13

Mars, the action planet moves out of Aquarius and into Pisces on February 3, 2013 and stays there until March 12, 2013. Keep in mind that Pisces is more undercover than Aquarius, so what's happening in our outer world may not be what's really happening in truth.  We feel these aspects weeks before they take place so the whole Lance Armstrong story (pun intended) and the news about the football  player who was in love with an imaginary lover...seems to go on ad nauseam. 

WHAT'S DONE IN THE DARK WILL COME TO LIGHT

I used to fear that statement, that usually came from my grandmother when she was trying to find out the truth about something I did (laughing).  But the warning comes when Mars is in Pisces...what's done behind the scenes will come to the LIght.  For one thing, personally I don't care about these people that keep coming up in the media.  What they did or didn't do have no direct affect on me.  The only reason why they are big stories is because the media keeps pounding on them.  Who cares?  Really?  Then there was the story about Beyonce...did she lip sink the National Anthem?  Again, who cares?  If she did lip sink she did it to her own tracks, not someone elses. 

THE GOOD SIDE OF MARS IN PISCES

We're living in a dimension of duality.  Regardless of what metaphysicians try to tell us, there is always a flip side to everything.  On the negative side, Mars in Pisces says "watch your back", on the positive side, Mars in Pisces says be more faithful and believe in yourself".  The spiritual idea with Mars in Pisces is to put feet on your prayers, to pray totally believing that your prayers will be answered.  Spiritual teachers say pray, then act.  If you want a better life, then you're going to have to change what you did to get the life that you want.  Also there's a need to take responsibility for what's in your life right now. 

VICTIMS GET ON MY NERVES

I'm sure I'm not the only one who gets tired of hearing victim stories.  I do know people (some of them are related) who always have a victim story. These are the people who are always broke and always begging.  If you dare to tell them that if they stopped buying smoke everyday, they'd have enough money to buy diapers (oops maybe that's too personal), but these "broke" people don't have cable or internet now, so they won't be in a position to hate me for telling the truth (laughing again).  The universe is fair and balanced.  Need more money? Then stop spending on things you don't need. Now there are people who are in need and who need a hand up.  Hopefully the Mars in Pisces energy will inspire good people to come up with a way to make other people's lives better. 

POWER IN THE GROUP

There is power when two or three people get together "where two or three are gathered".  Mars in Pisces should inspire us to work together to achieve a positive result, or to at least pray together at the same time for someone in need.  Taking time out to pray or meditate is not going to cost you anything, except a few minutes of your precious time. Recently I've networked with people who like me, have decided to pray more often and to keep the Light around them.  We should be aware of the groups that we get involved with because we're living at a time of group consciousness, and if you're in a group with low consciousness these days, then expect to receive the same karma.  Yet our Higher mInds always know the truth and before big events happen there is a warning.  It might just be that at last minute you decide not to go to the club or the football game.  You don't seem to know why, all of a sudden you canceled, but the news the next day lets you know that your decision was the right one.  Thinking back to an interview with a man who was supposed to go to that club in Brazil where many people were killed.  He felt sad and even a little guilty because when asked why he didn't go, he simply said  "don't know".  This is the time to be in the right place at the right time, and even if it doesn't make sense to others, we must always listen to our inner voice of wisdom. 

THE ANGELS ARE WATCHING

I think it was MLK who said do something good when nobody's watching is a sign of good character.  (not exact quote) But you get my drift.  When you give something away or help someone whose in need, there's no need to tell anyone or to brag about it.  Then as you develop the habit of helping and caring what you do becomes an automatic thing.  Just know that every deed is recorded in the Akashic Records and you'll get to review them at the end of your life. 

PISCES PEOPLE

With Mars in Pisces, Pisces People (African People), will be moved to use group energy positively (I hope and pray) to stand up for what they believe.  This is not the time to preach, or rant and  rage, but to be the example of what you believe.  Mars in Pisces should bring the love and compassion out of people.  All you have to do in any case is to put yourself in it and question: "how would I feel if this happened to me?" The flip side of Mars in Pisces is the escapist energy.  Some people may hide behind their religion to try to escape from the need to move their bodies in the right direction.
We live in a world where escapist activities are running rampant...from drugs/alcohol, fantasies, games, movies or television, there's always a way to dumb down the brain in order to run in the opposite direction.  Yet the wake up calls are coming fast and furiously.  What about the wacky weather?  One day 50 degrees the next day below zero.  Some places too much rain, other places none at all.  You might say "well what can I do about it?"  But there's so much information in the world today about how we can change and how we can become guardians of this beautiful planet.  The Truth is, we're all breathing the same air so we're all effected by the pollution in the air.  The other day the fog was so intense that none of my neighbors (including me) drove their cars.  The news that night was filled with stories of car accidents, people being killed and maimed because either they or the other person was driving too fast. The attitude of "I've got to get there in a hurry" and "even though visibility is low, I've got to get where I'm going" is prevailing.  For me, I caught up on my reading and telephone calls and writing and cancelled all my appointments...  because my inner guides said "tomorrow is another day".  Stay in tune, listen to the still voice and be safe.  Keep the Light around you and loved ones.  Love, peace and Light, Ayesha
