Aries New Moon's White Rabbit Hunt

Today has been a quest to quiet the choir of voices from the day's global news headlines that ringing choruses of 'futility' in my head ... because, everything our past has taught us to do to adjust, fix, correct or change what we are experiencing is, in truth, futile.

Marching and protesting is futile. What worked in the 60's, isn't going to work. There is no "movement"; there are no leaders; there is no organization.

Violence is not an option ... not just because my non-violent principles, but because the powers that be have all the armaments and legalities in place (FEMA camps and all) to deal with anything of that nature.

The direction we are heading is the direction we are going to go. Like it or not, the collapse is upon us; the "New World Order" is in place, and its just a matter of manifesting it in everyone's everyday reality.

Now, I'm not one of those that think the whole "One World" thing is bad or evil. I actually like the thought of eliminating nation-state designations, and just viewing ourselves as "human" or even more cosmic yet, "beings." But this yucky "New World Order" stuff that is based on greed, oppression and human degradation ... I'm not digging that!

Since I did not have any ideas that were not futile, I took off after the white rabbit this morning. The little bugger came into site while I was checking out my bulletins on MySpace this morning: Here he is, the one that enticed me down this hole:



That bulletin was from my MySpace friend, Musicians Say No! to Bush New World Order. I have not been able to find any independent confirmation of the claims and information in this video, but this is the related website.

This next video I received was in a bulletin from my MySpace friend THINK PEACE WORLD ... This is the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom ... notice the emphasis he places on "economics" as the definer of power.



OK ... now for some internal bells and whistles to start going off in my head: enter the Security & Prosperity Partnership of North America (aka "SPP"). The SPP is the embryonic version of the American Union. Check out the website. Earlier this year, nothing before 2006 was on the website. Now there's all kinds of information ... even "facts" to dispell the "myths"! Now you too can start to see how this "New World Order" is coming into being for us here in North America. Lou Dobbs talked about it a few years ago in this news clip:



So, you don't think its happening. Really? The briefings and materials from the 22 April 2008 SPP leader summit indicate that the Partnership is on track for their initiatives to be in full effect by 2010. (Please take note of the 22 April date ... it connects to a future dot.)

Then, a tangential tea party in this headline: "Morgan Stanley gets lifeline, is ready for deals." And why would Mitsubishi invest in Morgan Stanley? To capitalize on the fire-sale of other US banks and financial institutions, of course. The Japanese have recent experience in how to navigate and capitalize on this situation: remember the early 1990's in Japan? This is another interesting NY Times article I read ... the year of this article was written: 2005.

OK, now for the astrological part of the chase ... time to try those mushrooms!

If we step back from our myopic earth point of view to our next largest perspective, using a helio-centric view, Pluto entered Capricorn on Sunday, July 20, 2008. For more insight to Pluto in Capricorn check these out:

The Merriman Market Analyst's Jan. 2K8 presentation: "Pluto in Capricorn"

Blogger.com's AstroTableTalk posts Dharmaruci's 2004 Article (posted in 2006) on the Astrology of 2008-2015.

So, what did happen on July 20, 2008?

George Bush was at his ranch in Crawford, flew to the White House later that day to say good-bye to yet another staff member. Not that interesting. Hmmmmm.

How about this:

1.6 MILLION PEOPLE IN A LOVE PARADE!

1,600,000 human beings participated in the LOVE PARADE in Germany!!! How awesome is that?! What a wonderful thing to have happened over that weekend! From the earth's perspective, the Moon and Neptune were conjunct ... how appropriate for this type of 'love in'! And, NO! the symbolism that it was Germany is not to be overlooked.

And then, what happened? Russia and China finalize a border treaty ... "Correspondents say the deal is the latest sign of warmer ties developing between Russia - a big energy exporter - and China, a big energy consumer." Again, the theme of economic power is everywhere.

From the 7/21/08 White House briefing: "Also today, a U.S. delegation led by the U.S. Trade Representative, Susan Schwab, is meeting in Geneva, Switzerland, along with other major trading nations at a ministerial level meeting in an effort to make progress in the Doha round of global trade negotiations. As you heard President Bush emphasize at the recent G8 meetings, it is critically important that we conclude the Doha round. We want the world to trade freely and we want to make sure markets are open for American agricultural goods, manufacturing goods and also the services that we can provide." (Check out her name: "Schwab"!)

So, that was the view from the Sun, the center of our solar system, our next "bigger picture" perspective as Pluto moved into Capricorn (based on the tropical zodiac on which foundation our entire time sequence is presently based).

But, what about the smaller picture, the more intimate, earth-based view? From our view, Pluto entered Capricorn back in January, went retrograde and has slipped back into Sagittarius for a bit, and will enter Capricorn on 26 November, 2008 (after keying in on the chart for Washington D.C., Pluto will hit 0ºCap.0'00 just after 8:00 p.m.).

Then I searched for connections, and this where all this came together for me.

This is a mid-point chart is a combination of two times that seemingly do not have a relevant connection. One time being the day Pluto moves into Capricorn (26 Nov. 2k8), and the other time is 22 April 1864, the date that the Civil War Congress passed the "Coin Act of 1864." (Please take note of the 22 April date. Here's the other dot.)

This act was the first time "In God We Trust" was introduced on our money. Things that make you go "hmmmm": If you read the history in the link above, you will notice that the acting Secretary of the Treasury in 1864 was Salmon P. Chase.

But, let's rotate the chart a bit ...

That's better ... does the symbol made by the aspects I highlighted look familiar?

Well, now, almost everything comes back to the Masons, now doesn't it. This image I found on a rather interesting German website about "The Longest Crusade".

I hope you had fun too. Its always kind of fun when you can link everything back to the masons, its kind of reassuring in a way. Much like the Kevin Bacon seven degrees of separation!

Now, I don't know if I have an answer for the calling the feelings of futility agitate deep in my being, but I'm a bit closer to it, I can feel it. Maybe, I'll just encourage you to check out Cynthia McKinney for President. Yes, I know this is not her time because we are not ready for that kind of change, but at least I am, so I will vote for her. Maybe you are too!

The Deep Shi(f)t

living in midst of it, you sometimes forget the basics.

you find yourself wondering, "just how deep is it going to get?"

well, i take a bit of comfort understanding that pluto has eclipsed the galactic center and we are on a cycle for another 200+ years to our next realignment with our next largest cosmic marker. so, we have already experienced the deep shi(f)t.

that doesn't mean its not going to get uglier ... after all, the last time we experienced this deep alignment was in the late 1770s. here in america, there was a really nasty war or two after that happened, and almost 100 years later, we collapsed ourselves from within through one of the greatest deceptions of political history (e.g., the dissolution of the republic, creation of the new corporate america embattled in our "civil" war).

have you read "the shock doctrine" by naomi klein? i suggest that every person who is interested in the form and structure of our new reality that is being created as we read these words, read that book. to understand how this new structure is establishing itself, what it is sacrificing and what its potential is for creating the reality that we want.



oh, yes, while we are in the deep shi(f)t, you may want to remember, its our shi(f)t, and we can control how it smells and what it contains.

peace & harmony,

pluto's on the moon

"... and whitey's on the moon" (gil scott heron)

more than any other astrological body, the moon is the part of us that we can most closely examine, know and understand. ok, sure, we all talk about the sun signs and how important they are, don't get me wrong, over all, the sun sign is THE big one ... the one on which all the others have context. but while the sun lights up the days (and nights via its reflection of the moon), and gives context and relevance to all of the other astrological bodies within our solar system, you cannot just stand outside and look at the sun. well, perhaps at sunrise and sunset you have a bit of a window to see a perspective of the sun, but without special tools, you cannot just study the sun directly.

the moon, on the other hand, you can go outside and just look at it ... whether its a new moon, a gibbous moon, or a full moon, you can watch it night after night after night, as it changes with its cycles, as it moves across the sky. there are other human beings who have walked on the moon. we have pieces of the moon in museums and schools that we can touch and feel. but, if your like me, when it comes to the moon, we kinda go "ok, emotions and my mom" ... they are both there a HUGE part of us, but for some of us, they are both enigmas we rather not deal with trying to understand.

so, why is it that the realm of the moon -- emotions in particular -- are so hard to know and understand within us? in our culture emotions are so imbalanced ... they are at either extreme: the only thing that motivates us, or has nothing to do with our motivations.

personally, i thank pluto in cancer generation -- the sign it was tropically placed to when it was discovered in 1930 for the transformative nature of our emotional bodies. (tropically, pluto was in cancer from 1914 and 1939; sidereally as late as 1954.) if pluto is "diminished" through its new designation, this is an interesting notion because while i've always believe pluto to be a process (much like chiron), the attachment of that process to cancer (and even sidereally gemini) is quite important in our present state of being.

the change in pluto's designation gives a different significance to its "birth" in our consciousness and our development, as well as perhaps its purpose. pluto's process would be directed to its birth and natal chart, and it being in cancer for the prevailing energy (tropical world) of the mass consciousness undeniably links it to the moon. as well, in reality, the realm of gemini (basic keyword communication) would be the focus of its work. hence, those who are working on consciousness in the context of reality pluto would be at work in the gemini functions of being.

why do you suppose that as we are getting deeper and deeper into this shift of consciousness every third person has become a "personal coach"? i mean, honestly, there is a coach, workshop, seminar, retreat or dvd package for every aspect of developing and understanding the individual. the pluto process at work.

this process can further be explored in viewing our social structure and the breakdown of the family structure in america in particular, and perhaps the west in general. as we continue on the individual level of personal empowerment, as we have been watching, it will spread into our corporate structures and community consciousness.

whether your consciousness is the process of pluto in cancer or pluto in gemini ... while we all heal our emotional bodies, those who much teach should teach so that collectively we will rise to a healthier emotional body of consciousness ... working together, this pluto process of transformation can be rewarding, empowering and evolutionary.

join me as i further this discussion on 17 march 2k7 on THE sideREAL world. in honor of my mom's birthday, i chose the moon to talk about ... obviously, with my plutonian twist.

peace & harmony,
