Dear Friends and Readers,
Welcome to the new blog! A big thanks to Anatoly our webmaster who has been working hard to get this up and we’re finally done! For now you can access all previous posts at this link. As we edge closer to the Spring Equinox we are stepping into a brave new world, evident in the little and big things taking place around us — and we ain’t seen nothing yet!
Before I go on to the astrology I have to take a minute to acknowledge the latest bout of insanity in the news. Although, I have to admit I have been a little out of the loop for the past few weeks, yesterday I spoke with a friend in back in NYC who informed of the latest news regarding Governer Spitzer and his involvement in a prostitution ring. I was pretty speechless to say the least, not because of what I heard, but more because of the furor it created.
I am not condoning his actions, but there are greater transgressions made that are “forgiven” or conveniently “forgotten”. Many of you may know or have noticed “politics” is not my thing and I must admit that is largely because I am fairly jaded regarding most politicians. I do though believe the power of change lies with the common people and that’s especially why I admire those who actively take a stance to instigate that change. Here is an excerpt from a letter I received in my mail box today that I thought deserved deeper thought…
—
“… let’s also do a little math. Yesterday, the stunning revelation about Governor Spitzer was made public. Today the state GOP called for his impeachment! This administration’s contempt for the rule of law, basic civil rights and our constitutionally mandated system of checks and balances is legion and yet years went by without a word from the Democrats. Nothing. I mean, crickets! Sex with a prostitute as compared with, oh I don’t know:
– Providing false and misleading intelligence to Congress and the American people to sell the Iraq war
– The outing of a covert CIA operative
– The illegal wiretapping of American citizens in violation of the Fourth Amendment
– The politization of the Department of Justice
But holding hearings is and should be a non-partisan act. We cannot allow this or ANY administration, regardless of party, the belief that they are above the law. If allowed to go unpunished the consequences will be devastating. Future administrations will have precedent to break the law with impunity. We are on a very slippery slope here, Friends, and we must do something about it now! These lawbreakers must be held accountable and finally there are rumblings in Congress that, with enough public support they’d be willing to move forward. Oversight isn’t their strong suit as we all know and most of the time they seem to have no other interest than abdicating their own authority. But I see a window here, Folks. So please, Democrat and Republican, Americans of all hue and stripe, this is about protecting The Constitution. I urge you to sign the petition and email the House Judiciary Committee and your own representative letting them know of your support for hearings. I’ve provided links below.
Thanks for taking the time to read my note. And thanks even more for taking a stand. We can do this.”

Now I’m not saying that prostitution is a good thing. I am a woman and know what it feels like to be violated for sex or for money. But this is not about right or wrong — this is about the truth and the truth is — we have bigger issues at stake that we let slide under the carpet. Why does sex have to be such a big issue, frankly I think the only people who are truly going to be affected by his behavior are his wife and family.
How come there is not the same urgency when there are worse transgressions made by politicians that actually affect “us” the people, our rights, liberty and constitution? Every time we feed into this media frenzy all we are doing is giving the real “evil-doers” a chance to get away in a cloud of smoke. Again this is not about right and wrong — which are ultimately moral judgments that society has “agreed” upon. This is about the truth — especially the truth that we are not being told.
Getting back to the astrology — notably Venus is in the last degree of Aquarius and was conjuncting the North Node in Aquarius. Venus in Aquarius does give us an image of a “group of women” which may give us a glimpse into what is surfacing in the news. Mercury not far behind will likely bring more ‘shocking’ news. Today Venus ingresses Pisces; as she heads closer towards her opposition to critical unforgiving Saturn in Virgo at the end of the week — we are likely to see a further confrontation of the events that are now being played out.
On a personal level Venus is Pisces is awakening a deep sensitivity, tuning into the softer dreamy vibrations of Neptune. What we likely seek now is a soul connection, a divine experience, a brush with something deeply magical. Her opposition to Saturn is bringing to surface issues and old commitments that need to be re-examined under the light of everything we have recently learnt. As Venus continues her journey through the sign she will go on to make conjunctions to Vesta, Uranus in Pisces freeing us to follow our the gentler musings of our heart.
