Though I'm a big fan of alternative fuels and renewable energy sources, we find the miracle of ethanol also includes a chilling story of hell of Earth for thousands of beings trapped in a sisyphean dystopia exposing the true costs of cheap ethanol. What you'll read today is sad, frustrating, and outrageous in our 21st century.
After a Mercury Retrograde technical meltdown, Michele and I actually pulled off a great interview! We covered a lot, from the Age of Aquarius and the evolution confronting the whole world to the nature of perception itself, with tools we can use to Be our Higher Self while navigating the changes and challenges confronting all of us as humanity gives birth to a new sense of Self.
All signs will be profoundly affected in some very beneficial ways as a result of this January 25/26, 2009, Solar Eclipse at 7 Aquarius. There will be much work to be done, and everything favors practical productivity and beautiful endings and beginnings. Extraordinary rewards are to be had, refining our sense of enjoyment as we plan anew and prepare to integrate into a wider social matrix.
I almost never promote commercial enterprises but today is an exception due to timing. Maya Earth Coffee is one of the site sponsors here. Its owner is a man of utmost integrity and one of my best friends for over 25 years. He ships to individuals and institutions, and since this is the time of the year when the coffee harvest comes in, it's the best time to get your order in if you want a great product at a great price serving a more ideal economic model.
Today we explore what the coming Year of the Earth Ox will hold for us all by examining the qualities of this sign and the qualities of these years, past and present. It'll continue to be a time for grounding and practicality, where we stabilize the beginnings accomplished during the past Year of the Earth Rat.
The coming Solar Eclipse will have a huge impact on everyone. All eclipses shut something down, taking away elements of our lives no longer true for us. Aquarius is the sign of collective expression, larger ideals. It is how Leo, the sign of personal love, exteriorizes. So a form of impersonal love will shut down, with the void sure to attract new forms of expressing this energy. The eclipse degree promises new forms emanating from Cosmos, and as it is conjunct Jupiter, we can expect major new openings.
The international nightmare of America's worst president, George Bush, is over, except for dealing with the wreckage. Thank God the rebuilding can now begin, though it may take many years. May Barack Obama be protected by all the angels, devas, and other servants of the good. However brief it may be, smell the sweet air of a new era dawning. Aum Namah Shivaya!
Following up on the general meaning and function of the "Inferior conjunction" between the Sun and Mercury, today we explore specifics of the Aquarius Inferior conjunction of January 20-21, 2009 falling at the first degree of Aquarius.
The Inferior and Superior conjunctions describe Mercury's contacts with the Sun. These conjunctions between the Sun and Mercury mark important points in in the year and show us how our life and mind are fusing past and present to vitalize the future. We have another one coming soon, so if you want to know more, read on.
January features the Sun in Capricorn, and during January 2009 we also began the year with Jupiter in this Cardinal Earth sign, as well as Mars the entire month and Mercury the last 10 days of the month. This shows that we've had a Capricorn emphasis in our Sag and Pisces areas, as well as Aries and Scorpio, with our Gemini and Virgo areas joining the end of the month. This would indicate that we've been organizing or reorganizing at least half of our lives and affairs, preparing a structure for the larger step coming in February.
From the US Environmental Protection Agency, an interesting webpage that can help us here in the US know where our energy is coming from, and what proportion of it is filthy coal, disastrous nuclear, somewhat cleaner natural gas, or renewable sources. All it takes is entering your zip code, and you'll be shown where your power is coming from, for good or ill. check it out!
So just what IS Mercury retrograde good for? The conventional wisdom is that supposedly it's NOT a good time to sign contracts, make purchases of electronics, or major moves or decisions. We are told to hang out with the energies, being alert that things may not be as they appear, and so on. However, I've found there is much that a Mercury retrograde period is good for, such as traveling, research, and other important things.
