As our news media, like gluttons during a famine, continue to chew on peripheral issues, the people (Moon in Aquarius) are not being served by their representatives or the media. Where are the news stories about the food safety bill (HR 2749) being shoved through Congress under the radar? This bill does nothing to regulate the corporate food industries horrific policies which have made our food unsafe. While these corporate conglomerates are poisoning our food, small organic farmers are being run out of business. While Senators (blue dogs or hot dogs?) who received millions of dollars from insurance and pharmaceutical companies sway the national health care debate, Americans are losing out on real health care reform. Both these issues are Saturn in Virgo issues. Saturn can discipline us to take care of the issues or stay stuck in old viewpoints that no longer serve us.
But the cosmic energies are declaring that change is upon us, and so "business as usual' won't work. This eclipse says to each of us: just as you work to change your life, you have to take responsibility for the whole and start to demand that your representatives really represent you. The Aquarian vision that Jupiter/Neptune/Chiron is inspiring in us demands that we let go of old Leo self-importance and replace it with Self-realization and then compassionate action.
We keep hearing that "we are the change we've been waiting for' but that means that we not only have to change our own attitudes and beliefs but we have to take responsibility to change the culture as well. The world depends on us. Look at the Iranian people, standing up to power. Look at Americans, still being swayed by corporate lies. Since our national mythology says that we are the leaders of the free world, we need to do a better job of it.
The third of five oppositions between Uranus (the New) and Saturn (the Old) is building to exact on September 15th. This is a turning point. Will fear of the unknown stop the necessary changes that are upon us? The reality is that Saturn in Virgo wants health care reform. (It is an energy that is pushing us to be healthy.) It wants us to have safe food. But the corporate lobbyists and multi-million dollar ad campaigns they run to scare people will try to stop that. So will the Old win out against the New?
