FULL MOON IN CAPRICORN, JULY 3, 2012

CHANGING THE PARADIGM

The Moon will be Full in Capricorn on Tuesday July 3rd, 2012.  Capricorn is ruled by Saturn and the keywords are "I Use".  Also on the 3rd, Mars, the planet of action moves into Libra after a 7 month visit to Virgo.  And of course the 4th of July Holiday comes a day after the Full Moon and Mars entering into Libra.
No matter what's happening in your life now it's time to open up to a new way of thinking and being.  It's time to get unstuck from old concepts and beliefs that may have been holding us back.  It's time to accept that everything is in a constant state of change, or as my grandmother used to say "nothing stays the same".  Many people will be traveling this weekend and many more will be planning holiday celebrations marking the anniversary of the birth of this nation.  With the Moon getting bigger in the night sky, our collective emotions are getting bigger too.  With Mars moving into Libra, the sign that says "I Balance" we're all getting the message to create peace and harmony in our world, internally and externally.  It never ceases to amaze me around Full Moon times, how so many people get caught up in passionate arguments that lead to violence. Yes the violence index and the accident index escalates during Full Moon times.  But don't blame it on the Full Moon, in fact if you want peace and harmony, try going a few days without the need to point the accusing finger at anyone, including you.  In other words be the peace that you want to experience in the world.  We don't have to react to outside stimulai in the same old ways.  We have the power to choose how we're going to react to the people who disagree with us, we also have the power to wish a driver who just cut us off, peace, love and a long life.  We're already feeling the energy of the coming Full Moon as accidents have increased and political arguments are getting nastier.  This is the time to promise not to rush around, drive too fast or get overwhelmed with things to do because this is what you always do during this holiday.  Change the paradigm, and refused to get locked into what you may call tradition.  We can start a new tradition that doesn't require us to do anything that we don't want to do.  We can decide to get through this period peacefully and without overwhelming ourselves and others with "things to do".  "But we always did it that way" can change into "let's try something new".  A wise woman once said "if what you're doing isn't bringing you the results you want, try doing something else".  Every year this time people get hurt playing with fireworks.  This happens even though there are plenty of advanced warnings about the dangers of playing with fireworks.  And every year this time we're shocked by the news of passionate killings or horrific accidents as some people go overboard with drinking or allow their passions to get out of control.  And these things happen usually around the 4th of July. But this year the Full Moon and Mars will be in the mix, as Mars will be squaring (90 degree angle) the escalating Moon  on July 2nd.  If we promise ourselves to flow through this time and to do everything in moderation, and keep the Light around us and loved ones, this weekend and the holiday will be a wonderful time to grow and evolve and to spread the love around.  As the peace movement people used to say "make love, not war".  Change your thinking, change the paradigm and make this an awesome time of new experiences.  It is all good and good is all there is.  Enjoy!

JERRY "THE FREAK" SANDUSKY

JERRY “THE FREAK” SANDUSKY


BORN: JANUARY 26, 1944



Gerald Arthur Sandusky was convicted of 45 counts of sexual abuse on June 22, 2012. For weeks we watched pictures of Sandusky, the ex football coach for Penn State University, dressed in a suit and wearing a fiendish grin as he walked towards the court house. He seemed oblivious of the charges against him and he gave the impression that he believed he would be acquitted. According to his attorneys, Sandusky never admitted guilt, but consistently told them that he was innocent.

An appeal is in process.



But who is this guy who was accused of raping young boys in the shower? And how could he have done these terrible deeds without being detected by some responsible adult? We had to look at Sandusky's Solar Chart (without time of birth) to find some answers.



SINS OF THE FATHER



What leaped off the page for me was the placement of the South Node in Aquarius touching Jerry's Aquarius Sun. The Sun represents the father, father figures and people in authority positions. The South Node represents the past, what the person did in previous lifetimes, and the habits that are formed throughout many lifetimes.

The South Node also can be the achilles heel, or the weakest part of the chart. Going out on a limb here, I would say that what Jerry Sandusky did to children was done to him. His tendency to abuse small children didn't just happen out of the blue, but he must have learned it from someone else in his life. It's interesting to note that Jerry's father was also involved in organizations with young athletes...I'm just saying...the fruit doesn't fall far from the tree.



THE OTHER SIDE OF AQUARIUS



Every sign has it's good and bad side, depending on the consciousness of the individual. The negative side of Aquarius is “the freak”, ruled by both Saturn, planet of discipline and Uranus, the planet of extremes. Saturn is the law maker, while Uranus is the law breaker. Jerry was born with the Sun, South Node and Moon in Aquarius. He has many friends and is probably a humanitarian at heart.

But his shadow side, the one that was covered up was his freakish attraction to young boys. In fact he used his not for profit organization to gain access to young boys and he used his unsuspecting friends at Penn State to cover up his evil deeds.

He was revered and respected for his charitable contributions and dedication to poor children. He also used his power to threaten his victims “whose going to believe you?” when they threatened to tell.

DUAL PERSONALITY

Jerry was born with three planets in Gemini, the Twins, i.e. Uranus, Mars and Saturn. Uranus and Mars are closely tied together and his sexual impulses were probably uncontrollable. Then Saturn (the law) is what put and end to his abuse

and interesting enough it was the letters he wrote to one victim (Gemini is communications and writing) that convinced the jury that he was guilty. The Gemini connection made him a friendly guy with a playful spirit. Many of his abuses first began with play fighting in the shower. In a sense he's a man who never grew up and he kept repeating early childhood abuse that was done to him.

He has a dual personality, one that is bright and friendly, the other which is dark and moody. Saturn in Gemini is the law maker, while Mars Uranus is the law breaker. Saturn in Gemini can also breed low self esteem and a lack of belief in his own ideas.

I AM THE KING

With two planets, Pluto, planet of power and transformation and Jupiter, planet of joy and expansion in Leo, I'm sure that Jerry the Freak felt he was above reproach and part of the privileged class. For one thing he always seemed to do things in a big way (jupiter) showering his victims and the children in his organization with expensive gifts and trips. He needed to be admired and was the recipient of many awards for his “work” with children. Jupiter is making a harmonious aspect to his Venus, planet of love in Sagittarius. He was the big giver and his tastes for fine things probably kept him in debt. His gifts to the children he abused were used to make them feel indebted to him and to convince unsuspecting parents that he was a “good guy”.



SO WHY DOES HE INSIST THAT HE'S INNOCENT?

With all of the evidence against him and at least 8 out of ten victims testifying in court, why is it that Jerry the Freak keep saying he's innocent? You only have to look at Mercury, planet of communications and rational mind in his Solar chart. Mercury is in Capricorn, squaring (90 degree angle) Neptune, planet of dreams, visions, chaos and confusion. The Mercury square Neptune aspect tells of a confused mind, a person who lies and then believes the lies, a pathological liar that might even pass a lie detector test. It also indicates that Jerry was sensitive to drugs, prescribed or otherwise and might have at one time consulted a psychiatrist to help him with his bizarre behaviors, tendency towards depression and abuse of children. His defense attorneys did come up with a scam to justify the abuse. They concocted a term that nobody ever heard about. They threw caution to the wings and threw the term out there in hopes that at least one juror would believe them. Apparently, that didn't work. Mercury square Neptune energy has a tendency to fantasy and maybe while Jerry was raping young boys he imagined that he was a super hero, saving them from something. Not trying to figure out crazy here, but this aspect is what proves to me that Jerry has completely removed himself, mentally, emotionally and spiritually from the evil deeds he committed. He has no compassion or sorrow for what he did, and imagines himself to be the victim (now that he's been caught).



THE LUCKY GRAND TRINE

One of the most surprising aspects in Jerry Sandusky's Solar Chart is the presence of a Grand Trine in Air Signs. That's what makes me think, it's not over yet, something could come up to save his sorry soul. The Grand Trine is a major aspect of beneficial energy between his planets in Air Signs. The Sun in Aquarius is trine to his Neptune in Libra, which is in trine to his Mars/Uranus in Gemini. Maybe this was the aspect that allowed Jerry to continue and cover his devious acts for so long. I'm sure there are people in this world who still believe that he's innocent and who will try to help him to escape a long prison term. These people have only seen one side of this man, the friendly guy, the generous giver, the playful spirit. This Lucky Grand Trine is also the reason why his wife of many years took the stand, perjured herself and claimed she had no knowledge that she had been married to a sexual deviant and pervert. She falls in the category of the “stand by your man” generation that believes it's better to turn a blind eye and keep the man then to stand up and tell the truth...poor thing. But we're not letting her off the hook, because it was her denial of truth that allowed many abuses of innocent children to take place. She is his enabler, and also guilty for protecting him. That also goes for the adopted children who swear that Jerry is innocent. What they don't know about pedophiles is that sometimes they'll target one child and leave the rest alone. But there are many other people who obviously covered for Jerry, officials at Penn State, other coaches, his family, people in law enforcement and the list goes on. These people put their jobs and a football program above the need to protect innocent children.

When people ask “how could this creep get away with this for so long?” The answer, (for me) is in his Solar Chart, the “lucky” Grand Trine in Air Signs.

Of course we're living in a time when the truth is coming out, the Light is shining brightly and the deeds of the so called rich and powerful are coming to the forefront. I sympathize with the victims who were young children at the time of their abuse. Hopefully this trial and the subsequent conviction of Jerry “The Freak” will help them to heal and restore their faith in justice.

URANUS/PLUTO SQUARES

EVOLUTION/REVOLUTION
Uranus, planet of change and Pluto planet of transformation or deeper personal change will start a series of squares beginning on June 24, and ending in 2015.  Astrologers have been writing and chatting about these squares (90 degree angles) for years now.  Personally I'm aware of the effects of Pluto and Uranus combinations because I was an activist in the 60's when Pluto and Uranus were together in Virgo.  Some of us had the urge to speak truth to power back then and to put our bodies on the line for the "greater cause".  We put our personal lives on hold and took to the streets to fight for justice and freedom in a collective and sometimes chaotic way.  Since then the movement in the 60's has been written about and talked about ad nauseam by so called experts and people who just wanted to make money from writing a book.  Now, these two planets are going to be hooking up again and whether you were alive during the movement or just read about it in history class, it seems the same issues are coming up again, and many of them are coming up in an "in your face" way.  We older veterans of the civil rights movement have found ourselves shaking our heads and saying "this again?" 

THE WALL STREET PROTESTERS MIRROR THE CIVIL RIGHTS
PROTESTERS

Seems that what we did back then, hasn't made a difference to the consciousness of the people in power and the people who are being controlled by the power.  Pluto represents power and right now it's in Capricorn, the sign that says "I Use".  Pluto in Capricorn is the bankers, the CEO's on Wall Street, the politicians who are controlled by the big money people.  We could just put them all in one category, a bunch of selfish people who only think of themselves and who lack any compassion for the wage slaves who work for them.  Uranus, the planet of extreme change is in Aries now, inspiring us to take leadership roles and to create a change that benefits everyone.  When Pluto and Uranus were close to a square, in 2011, we saw the protesters on Wall Street rise up. They put their lives on hold  lived in tents,demonsrated and gave us a slogan that tells it all "we are the 99 per cent".  They spoke about the corruption and the gap between the haves and have nots and it caught on and moved throughout the country and the world.  But this was just the beginning of a movement that isn't going to change until the hearts and minds and consciousness of the "fat cats" change.  Needless to say the "fat cats" are holding on tightly to their material possessions, power and positions of authority.  And the beat goes on.  What's important now is that each of us take in this powerful energy from Pluto and Uranus and use it to ignite personal change, not the change from external forces, but a change within our own consciousness.  Uranus and Pluto are asking us "what are you doing to create change, and "are you using your gifts and talents to help the people on the bottom?"  While it is  necessary to point out the injustices, it's also vitally important to live a life of service and to get in touch with the power within.  As we evolve and grow individually and collectively the world around us will change.  The power is within and over the next few years we'll have many opportunities to tap into it and use it.   
                                                              
                                                               WHAT ABOUT THE WEATHER?  

The Pluto Uranus squares will have an affect on the weather, and in case you haven't noticed that weather has been extremely changeable since the beginning of the year. It's either too hot, too cold or too much rain or not enough rain and weather forecasters are scrambling every day to try to give an accurate forecast.  We were taught that the weather represents the collective emotions of the people...wowee!  It's best to stay tuned in and to learn to listen to your intuition, guides and angels who know the truth.  It's also a good idea to elminate fear, worry and anxiety and basically all toxic feelings, thoughts and words.  This can be done systematically by monitoring your thinking and protecting your mind from doom and gloom thought forms that come from movies, television, and other people.  It might be a good idea to go on a fast, get a colon cleanse and make better choices with food.  We've said this all before, hope you're listening.
