The Good Old Days...
There were a lot of hard taught lessons that we learned from in the past... Having to use our talents and abilities to make improvements upon our current conditions... To mend or repair things that were broken... It was not a "throw-away" world back then... We encountered the joy of accomplishment when completing the tasks that improved our lives but often required a lot of hard physical labor too.

The lessons many of us learned as kids, are now repeating as we move into the new Age of Aquarius... Many of those old lessons and skills are quite valuable now and need to be handed down... Not just for the knowledge, but more for the experiences gained that opens the doors to our creativity and individuality... Being able to solve problems and find solutions with only the items we currently have at our disposal... This new age of Aquarius isn't there to render the old age obsolite, but rather the expand upon it and to take it to even higher levels.

The reason I bring this all up right now is that we are currently dealing with a retrograde Jupiter and the emphasis is focused on learning from the past... That same repetitive pattern we have been dealing with lately of "what works and what doesn't"... I'll spare you a lot of the astro-babble about it, but the combo of Saturn and retro Pluto working with a retro Jupiter are there to render judgments on those that have "gamed the system" and reward those that have taken the higher road... (if that makes sense)... Perhaps it may be better stated that it restores the balance between what we give and what we take.

This is a kind of gritty, roll up the sleeves and to be willing to get your hands dirty, kind of energy we are dealing with... It has been patterns like this that have transformed the world and brought about the most incredible advancements... With Pluto and Jupiter retro, those that can embrace this will find themselves being rewarded and able to thrive in future situations and those that cannot and expect "someone else" to handle things for them may have to learn hard lessons or have to "do without".

That's it for now... I'll talk to you guys in the daily 'scopes...

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