The Sabian symbol for Saturn turning direct at 14* Capricorn is: An ancient bas-relief carved in granite remains a witness to a long-forgotten culture. Saturn, along with Pluto in Capricorn, energizes a re-structuring of our society. We have seen how our democracy has been taken over by large, corporate entities such as big Pharma, the oil and gas industries, the military-industrial complex. The 1% do own the government and run our society. That's not what our founding fathers wanted for America. And so we need to restructure and renew our society along the lines of a true democracy. These are the ancient beliefs we need to remember and incorporate. And those 'founding fathers' learned from the Native American Grandmothers what was necessary to found a new country based on freedom for all. How ironic and ultimately evil that we killed the very people who guided our nation's founding!

Well, that's all for now. I hope your harvest is fruitful and that you are blessed by its bounty.

Walk in the Light,

"John Barleycorn (Must Die)"

There were three men came out of the west, their fortunes for to try
And these three men made a solemn vow
John Barleycorn must die
They've plowed, they've sown, they've harrowed him in
Threw clods upon his head
And these three men made a solemn vow
John Barleycorn was dead

They've let him lie for a very long time, 'til the rains from heaven did fall
And little Sir John sprung up his head and so amazed them all
They've let him stand 'til Midsummer's Day 'til he looked both pale and wan
And little Sir John's grown a long long beard and so become a man
They've hired men with their scythes so sharp to cut him off at the knee
They've rolled him and tied him by the way, serving him most barbarously
They've hired men with their sharp pitchforks who've pricked him to the heart
And the loader he has served him worse than that
For he's bound him to the cart

They've wheeled him around and around a field 'til they came onto a pond
And there they made a solemn oath on poor John Barleycorn
They've hired men with their crabtree sticks to cut him skin from bone
And the miller he has served him worse than that
For he's ground him between two stones

And little Sir John and the nut brown bowl and his brandy in the glass
And little Sir John and the nut brown bowl proved the strongest man at last
The huntsman he can't hunt the fox nor so loudly to blow his horn
And the tinker he can't mend kettle or pots without a little barleycorn
