18 March 2011 What a world! It seems like every time you turn on the news, a new uprising or disaster has occured. Wolrlwide food and energy resources are getting more expensive, jobs are in short supply - will it ever end? Not likely. Suddenly I'm realizing that I'm old enough to understand that there really is nothing new under the sun. All the recent news continually reminds me of past events - protests against the VietNam War in the 60's & 70's, the ecology movement of the 70's (now called Going Green), oil prices going through the roof during the 1973 Arab Oil Embargo. Of course in this age of High Tech, communications are so much faster, people connect and organize instantly and act so quickly, it's even more difficult to know let alone keep up with what's going on.
On a grand scale, the current astrological picture, position of the planets in the 12 zodiac signs, reflects current events. In general the planets are moving to the end of the Zodiac, soon the start again in Aries, the first of the 12 signs. Restless, freedom-loving Jupiter and unconventional, progressive, unpredictable Uranus have both recently moved into egotistical, impulsive Aries. If the Stars are any indication, the near future is likely to be an exciting time.
