Open Letter to America's Artists: To all Filmmakers, Actors, Writers, Musicians, Dancers, Artists.
America has voted for change, now please use your talents to help show us how. Obama's call for change must be supported by our artists for it to succeed. America, and the world, need a new vision. Our musicians and storytellers are the ones to create new myths to inspire us to make real changes to save our Earth.

Scorpio is never afraid to get down and dirty, and in this buildup to Election Day, when Uranus, the planet of revolutionary new values, reform and awakening opposes Saturn, the planet of convention, conservative values and the status quo, we're seeing just how low we can go. Before Election morning, we'll get to see all manner of muck rise to the top. Let's release and cleanse the toxins from our collective psyches.

The Cosmic story going on in the heavens mirrors what is going on here below – as above, so below. Saturn, the energy of conservation, of conservatism, of the status quo, of rigidity and the Old is coming into range of its opposition to Uranus, the energy of awakening, of revolution, of sudden change and the New. They will be exactly opposite each other on Election morning. The Old vs. the New. Does it sound familiar?

Don't look for a quick fix to our economic woes with Mercury retrograde as Congress tries to bailout Wall Street. It's astrological wisdom that you don't sign anything while Mercury is retrograde, since there's a good chance that one of the parties will change their minds because they've had time to do more research. When signing documents, Mercury retrograde always says, 'Go back, you've missed something.'

We are once again engaging in the struggle between the old ways and the new that began in the '60s. With John McCain and Barak Obama vividly representing the two opposing energies, the cosmos is letting us know that this isn't just a political fight. This is a cosmic demand to recognize that the old must make way for the new, but the new must also recognize and value the important aspects of the old vision of life.

Work and Change are the order of the day. This New Moon is a preview of the big celestial face-off on election day - the opposition of Uranus (revolutionary new ideas) to Saturn (the old guard). These are the energies that faced off in the 60s, and we're about to enter a 4-year twilight zone that takes us back to the 60s so we can move forward to the future.

Full moons ask for our awareness. Do we have it in us to 'reflect' on our lives, our our society, and on our purpose? Cancer and Capricorn combine the energies of family and state, individual and culture. It's time to show the world who and what you really are!

The Cancer New Moon inspires us to nurture the divine child within, so that we bring our creativity into the culture at this most important time in our history. Give America a birthday gift - give your vision and your actions to heal the country.

Mercury Retrograde in his own home of Gemini takes up his mantle of Psychopomp – Guide of Souls – for this Gemini New Moon. This soul guide leads us on a journey to discover the wealth we have inside. He calls each of us to the Hero/ine's Journey. At this critical time in human history, when will we take ourselves seriously enough to stand in our power and initiate the changes within and without which the times demand.

Don't miss this 'once in a blue moon' chance to shift your priorities to the deep values rooted in your soul, which will release the fear, anxiety and helplessness which hold you back from living mindfully. It's time to take yourself seriously and engage the mythic imagination to discover how to live divinely or die mythically. Sound extreme! That's Taurus and Scorpio for you!
SHARE Thursday, May 1, 2008 Beltaine & Taurus New Moon 2008
It's May! The Lusty Month of May. Beltaine is the beginning of the Celtic summer and the New Moon happens on the Taurus power gate. Taurus energy wants us to build something. So instead of wasting your time trying to fix what's broken, why not think out of the box and create something new to take its place? Coming out of the hard aspects of the last 6 months, we now have permission to play!
SHARE Thursday, April 17, 2008 Scorpio Full Moon, April 20, 2008
This Full Moon poises the question: Are we going to stand for our better natures, or will we continue to stay asleep while America burns? Only We the People can grow up and stand up for change - our politicians can't do it for us. We are receiving a message from the Great Spirit of Life - be the heroes and lovers of your life and times. Do what you came here to do. And start to do it now!

Have you noticed how angry people are? How frustrated? How scared? Will we finally have that national discussion on civil rights? Do you fear that America will bomb Iran? Is it time to get rid of the Federal Reserve? The Aries New Moon brings up many of these issues. It all depends on how each one of us stands up for our own vision of life.
SHARE Tuesday, March 18, 2008 Spring Equinox & Libra Full Moon, 2008
Spring is finally here in the Northern Hemisphere along with the first full moon of Spring. Aries and Libra are all about how individuals relate to each other. Obama's beautiful speech exemplifies how this full moon needs to play out. Are we going to be courageous (Aries) enough to relate to other people (and countries) in a fair and balanced (Libra) way or will we continue to strong-arm the world and disrespect others?

Why are Eclipses so fascinating? Is it because we seem to be caught between the Sun and Moon, consciousness and the Unconscious?

Solar eclipses are fascinating, perhaps because they represent the Sacred Marriage of Sun and Moon, the Masculine and Feminine Energies of the Cosmos. This Solar Eclipse in Aquarius initiates a year-long quest to manifest social justice, ingenuity, independence and unity in the face of oppression and mass manipulation by the powers-that-be. It's not what the country can do for us, but what we can do for the country.

Astrology bears witness to an ancient truth: As above, so below. This full moon in the sign of individuation as well as group consciousness has the added punch of Pluto leaving the sign of Sagittarius for the first time since 1995. So what will Pluto in Capricorn bring up, and how will each of us deal with it?
