Mercury goes direct on February 1st, and this has been one doozy of a retrograde. The usual difficulties are noted, but with the world in the mess it’s in, you can only imagine what they may have done without our knowledge.
The barrage of mistakes, bad judgment and dishonesty that currently permeate our society seems endless. While Mercury was in retrograde in October, our government was sold a bill of goods by the banking industry, and was bullied in a time of great panic to set up the TARP program. Half the money was released on that retrograde and, as you can see; it has been an expensive and illogical failure. The second half of the money is now being demanded by President Obama, again while Mercury is retrograde. This too will be a failed attempt.
Also while Mercury was in retrograde, New York governor Patterson appointed a pro-gun, conservative democrat to fill Hillary Clinton’s most prestigious seat in the senate – at a time when the left needs to be empowered in order to tip the balance of power in this country back into the center. This appointment is sure to create more infighting in the Democratic Party. There is already a lack of solidarity and innumerable agendas clouding the main concerns. Without complete clarity and unflinching agreement will we accomplish even a small part of what this administration, and the large majority of the people hope for?
Mr. Obama became president at exactly noon on January 20th 2009. I don’t care how many times he was administered the oath. Those delays and mistakes were all part of the retrograde Mercury, and have nothing to do with the facts. I hate to bust so many bubbles, but he was inaugurated automatically at noon, and thus began his presidency under a void of course moon. You can discuss and analyze all the charts you want to, that won’t change reality one little bit. There will be serious distractions and a lack of purpose to this first Obama administration. This does not mean that everything he does will be a failure, nor that he won’t be reelected. What it means is that just like on every void of course moon occurring every 2 ½ days, we can expect things to be redirected, set off course and in general be more difficult to control. Unexpected events and situations will come up more often than usual. It will be a particularly frustrating few years, but not necessarily a failure. Spiritual matters will become far more important. And with Jupiter about to conjunct Neptune three times over the next year, I suspect that we will see an increase in religion, philosophy and even astrology and the occult. I am preparing a financial and political update to discuss these aspects at greater length. In the meantime, please view my recent brief youtube segment regarding the Great Alignments of 1962 and 2000.
Saturn will oppose Uranus for the second time on February 5th. Those of you familiar with my work know that I have been marking this transit for some time. This is a time of upsetting events and instability in most things. I discuss it below and will expound further in my update.

Living by Starlight : 12/08
This month has quite a number of difficult and frustrating aspects. There is a plethora of hard Mercury aspects to accompany the Full Moon in Mercury ruled Gemini. Be especially cautious in your communications and make sure you are saying what you mean. It is easy to overstate your case or react to emotional input instead of your intellect. Also be careful while traveling. The information that comes to us this month will have long-lasting effects.
Uranus goes direct a few minutes before this New Moon. This coupled with the Sagittarius New Moon may represent a turnaround in the tech stocks and the NASDAQ, at least temporarily, which could fuel a broader rally. But the fundamentals are still so bad that the slightest tremor could shake this market loose with another 1,000 point drop in the DOW. With Saturn in opposition to Uranus four more times between now and July 2010, we can expect continued instability in the financial markets and the world at large. The recent terrorist attacks in India are only the first of a number of such incidences. We can expect more. Uranus is the planet of revolution. Saturn is the planet of stability and structure. When these two are in conflict there will be no foundation upon which to feel secure. In the Great Alignment of May 2000 these two planets were in square to each other. Now that they are in opposition we are seeing the results of that Taurus Great Alignment and how precarious our lives have become. We can expect social unrest, more terrorist attacks and deeper wounds that will become harder to heal as time goes by.
Pluto entered Capricorn shortly before the New Moon as well. This transit that will last until 2024 will redefine our society and the world in general. I will discuss this transit at length in future issues and lectures. However, suffice to say that the transit of Pluto through the signs has through the years shown to influence our society greatly. It was Pluto transiting through Sagittarius that caused the price of oil to rise to $148.00 a barrel, one of the main events that pushed our backs against the wall and helped create the current financial collapse. Now as Pluto transit Saturn-ruled Capricorn we will see changes in the very foundation of the society, our goals and the earth itself.
Nothing less than a fundamental change in our way of doing business is required. As we watch the collapse of the world’s largest pyramid scheme I wonder what changes will finally be made. We have developed a society based on greed, debt and passivity. The banks and credit cards have taken over our society and twisted our priorities all out of proportion. These cockroaches were handed the keys to the kingdom over the past 40 years, and they have taken full advantage of it to create a class of economic slaves. If you don’t live in debt and have credit cards you aren’t part of the system. They have made it virtually impossible to live within your means – increasing credit limits, pushing money onto people who could never afford to pay it back, and then squeezing the poor bastards with higher credit limits, higher interest rates and the threat of ruin. If you’ve ever been in the position of dealing with collection agencies you know what I mean. They will use any means, legal or not, to get money from debtors. Constant phone calls to your home, work and family members are only the beginning. They have corrupt process servers who knowingly serve papers illegally to old addresses or even places you have never lived. Then they secretly seal your bank accounts and force you into court, where the judges turn a blind eye to their shenanigans. They continue to charge 32% interest on accounts that have been closed for years. And again the courts do little to protect the individual. And then there is the all telling credit score, the omnipotent single number that can prevent you from buying a home, a car, or even get a job. Our lives are controlled by people we will never see, not by our elected officials. And we wonder why it all fell to crap. If we bail out these crooks only to return to the same system of finances we will in essence be condoning and feeding into this sickness. As it is, we are standing on the verge or what potentially could be virtually the end of our society as we know it. People who have been in the financial markets for decades are scared. They have never seen anything like this in history. There is no easy or simple solution to what we have wrought upon ourselves. However, if we do manage to repair the structure of it, and put things back the way there were without addressing the basic issues of financial human rights we will see it all collapse again.
