Dear Friend and Reader:
“It (Roe v. Wade) has fundamentally altered the legal, medical and political landscape of this country.”
— Gloria Feldt, president of Planned Parenthood Federation of America
Venus in Pisces is in a trine with Varuna in Cancer today as well. All planets point to an adventure in the realms of love and truth. The 36th anniversary of the Roe vs. Wade decision which kept the right to choose termination of pregnancy available is today. The moon continues to sail through Sagittarius heightening the propensity for philosophical thought. The Sun in Aquarius is energizing the rest of the planets occupying that sign.
Aquarius is an air sign — intellectual, mental driven by ideas. Sagittarius has a thirst for knowledge and a knack for turning even the most mundane detail into evidence for philosophy. Aquarius also has an impersonal way of synthesizing information. Aquarius the water-bearer was the dispenser of wisdom. He (or often she) was not the exclusive cup bearer that Hebe or Ganymede were to the gods. His gifts included all knowledge. Aquarius, in this case is simple what is, as supposed to what should be.
OnВ Jan. 22, 1973 Roe v. Wade was decided in favor of the plaintiffs. What that means is that abortion is now legal, and woman still have the right to choose when they would like to be mothers. The decision has caused numerous debates. Abortion continues to be one of the most polarizing political, spiritual and medical topics to his day. We have all witnessed its polarizing effect: one moment we may be getting along fine with a friend and in the next we are raising our voices in a debate over the life of an unborn child or over the life of a full grown woman.
