Today I Start my Life Anew...
With Mercury retrograde, it can send your mind and thoughts into different directions in order to see things in different perspectives than usual... One thing that has always 'bugged me' about 'Modern Astrology' is how they present aspects (planet connections) as if they are a mathematical formula... (A+B=C)... When I was first learning and studying the charts a ga-jillion years ago, it was always kind of frustrating because I'd see certain aspects and expect certain events to happen as a result... It was frustrating and I was disappointed when expected events didn't happen.

The problem is, that astrological aspects are more of a 'seed' type of energy that sets the stage and the conditions for certain events to be possible... Sorta-kinda like putting a 'Roast Beast' into the oven... It is going to take a while before it's cooked and developed... Trackin' with me on this?

Back on December 21st, 2012 we reached the end of the Mayan 'Long Count' Calendar and tons of people thought it was going to be "Doom's Day" and total destruction, but not much happened... (Zzzzzz... yawn)... hehe... However, if the Baktun (the 20 year cycle part of the Mayan Calendar) is divided into the 12 (32 year) astrological cycles... You can see how this energy plays out in a very different light... We can see the radical changes we are dealing with from 1980 to present... And from 1949 and the start of the 50's led us to 1980... (the rock n roll cycle)... The 1916-1948 cycle was that of World War... (blah blah blah)... Trackin' with me on this?... It is all 'cycles within cycles'... You know the drill, I don't have to spell this all out.

Push or Pull Sisyphus... The Rock is Destined to Roll...

What we see in the world is one 'side/group' desperately trying to 'keep things as they were'... And another 'side/group' that is transform it into something different... The past has been all about holding power and control... But one thing is for sure, it's never goin' back to the way it was before... (fact, deal with it)... I believe there will be such massive data-dumps (uranus in taurus) where we will learn so much about 'what really happened' in the past... (red-pilling)... Technologies that have existed for quite some time, but held back for financial reasons... (saturn in capricorn)... We see it here in America, but the same thing is happening in Europe, Asia and basically all over the world.

When factoring in the longer cycles... (and sparing you hundreds of pages of explanations) it basically comes down to the end of "Divide and Conquer" cycle... The Uranian way of dealing with energy this is to take things to such radical lengths so that people can see the insanity in fighting against each other... And when both sides get so tired of it, they'll realize it is in everybody's best interest to join forces and to 'get along'... No different than a parent with a house of 'wound-up-kids' on a rainy day... They warn the kids over and over, but then let them go until something bad happens or someone gets hurt and they simply say... "See, I told you this would happen".

That's it for now... I'll get into our current energy in the Daily 'Scopes...

Keep the Faith... Better Days and Higher Love are comin' soon...

The weekly horoscope for Sagittarius has an energy that shows there may need to be adjustments or changes in plans as roadblocks may appear to prevent future progress... That is sorta-kinda the core of Mercury retrograde because it asks us to be willing to back up and find better answers and solutions when our current path cannot take us to where we want to go... At the same time, you need to be patient and think your words and actions through very carefully... Choices made now may not be able to be reversed later on... A time to learn and not to act.

...Show some Love...
