FENG SHUI TREATMENTS FOR 2012

FENG SHUI TREATMENTS FOR 2012
YEAR OF THE BLACK WATER DRAGON

CHINESE SOLAR NEW YEAR IS FEBRUARY 4, 2012

 1.   Place a small (live) Bamboo plant (at least 4 stalks) in the SOUTH   most portion of your:
home, office, living area.                     
 This treatment is to help improve:
   EDUCATION      CAREER      ROMANCE    CLEAR THINKING

 2.   You will need a metal ‘kalabash’ (Squash) made of brass with a small red ribbon
tied onto it.  If you cannot find a metal kalabash, using one made of other materials
will work, or finding a small brass object or figurine that has a rounded
shape (hour glass, figure 8 shape) and tie a red ribbon on it.
Place this in the NORTH  most portion of your home, office, living area, bedroom and any room where you spend a lot of time. 

This treatment is to:
HELP AVOID ILLNESS, SICKNESS, INJURY, and STRESSFUL EMOTIONS

3.   Place RED objects (vases, candles etc) and a small vase of red flowers (silk is better
than dried flowers) and a pair of protective ‘Kilun’ (unicorns) preferably made
of brass, otherwise a ceramic or porcelain pair is fine.
Place this in the SOUTHWEST portion of your home, office, living area, bedroom and any room where you spend a lot of time. 
This treatment is to:
Help avoid arguments, disagreements, lawsuits and legal disputes. 

Protection from others that have ill will against you – Place the pair of Kilun (or a unicorn, dragon, or other protective animal) in the SOUTHWEST facing out TOWARDS the SOUTHWEST to guard you.  This has special importance in the home if there are problems coming towards your family from others, and importance in your work place/work area if there is jealousy or other issues related to your work or career.

4.   You will place a small (juice size), clear glass (real glass, not plastic) in this location and every day for THIRTY DAYS, you will completely refill the glass with fresh water (tap water is fine).
Then for THIRTY DAYS, you will leave the empty glass in place,
Then for THIRTY DAYS, you will again refill the glass each day with fresh water, and continue this cycle for the entire year.

Place this in the EAST  most portion of your home, office, (and home office if you have one).
(if you own your own business, place one in the EAST  of your business location as well as in your own office if you have an office inside of your business location and your home office as well)
This treatment is to:
     BRING PROSPERITY INTO YOUR LIFE AND BUSINESS

5.   To me, this is one of the most important treatments of the year, and if I could do only one treatment, this is the one I would do.  It is called the SALT CURE, and it is a treatment that you make.  Make a NEW ONE each year, DO NOT RE USE old treatments.

Here are the items you will need to make this treatment:

1.  a GLASS JAR (Mason jar, large Mayonnaise jar, the jar should
have a wide mouth/top)  
2.  Coarse Salt (coarse kosher salt is in most grocery stores)
3.  6 copper pennies
4.  1 piece of silver (sterling silver, or a real silver dime)
5.   A piece of 6”X6” (or larger) wax paper or Saran Wrap
6.   A rubber band
7.  Water

To make your SALT CURE, you will fill the jar half way full with the coarse salt, then you will finish filling the jar the rest of the way with water (always put the salt in first).
Then you will drop in the 6 copper pennies and 1 piece of silver.
(These should rest on top of the salt.)
Cover the mouth of the jar with the Saran Wrap or wax paper,
and hold it in place with the rubber band.  (NO metal twisty ties)
Place this in the SOUTHEAST CORNER of your home, office, and the room where you spend most of your time    
This treatment is to:
     BLOCK BAD ENERGY of all kinds, poor health, bad thoughts, any type of bad or negative energy
THIS TREATMENT WILL REMAIN IN PLACE FOR THE ENTIRE YEAR, so place it in an area will it will not be disturbed or moved around.

 6.   Place Piggy Banks (with Coins inside) and extra coins (6 pieces of copper, brass, or silver money) PLACED AROUND THE OUTSIDE OF THE PIGGY BANK (SET THIS UP SO THE COINS WON'T BE DISTURBED DURING THE YEAR IF POSSIBLE). 
Some people like to add Horseshoes or other symbols of good fortune/good luck.

Place this in the EAST CORNER / Section of your home, office, and/or business,   for students, place this in the EAST section of their bedroom or study area.

This treatment is for: additional PROSPERITY, BONUSES, AND BENEFITS. 

7.   Place (large) BLUE objects (drapes, table clothes, vases, paint the walls, or hang BLUE pictures/paintings) and a pair of  protective ‘Kilun’ (unicorns) or Lions, preferably made of brass, otherwise a ceramic or porcelain pair is fine.

Place this in the NORTHWEST portion of your home, office, business, and any room where you spend a lot of time. 

This treatment is to: Help avoid lawsuits, disagreements, theft, robbery and Jealousy.

8.   Place objects made of gold, or gold color in the WEST sector of your: home, office, living area.  Gold or yellow colored stones are also good in this area.  Large pieces of Citrine or orange calcite are also popular.  Some people also add a Piggy Bank to this area as well.

 This treatment is to help bring in Prosperity, wealth and abundance (remember, abundance doesn’t apply just to money, but to having an abundant and full life as well). 

9.     This is the final area of treatment for the Feng Shui year. In this area you want to have LIVE broad leafed green plants of any size.  You want to have at least one at all times. Water the plant regularly, and if the plant becomes weak or diseased, replace it with a LIVE, HEALTHY PLANT. Some people like to place a bucket of water next to the live plants to help carry the bad san sha away, and empty and refill the bucket periodically as needed with fresh water.

This treatment is to: Help bring in Celebrations, Joy, Happiness and help avoid illness or dis-ease.  
That is why the live plants need regular care and attention, and replacement if necessary.

Also, in this area, remove any red objects, or anything with a pointed/triangular/pyramid shape or top to it. This is to reduce the energy of ‘FIRE’ in the area.

Place this in the  NORTHEAST  portion of your home, office, business, and any area/room where you spend a lot of time.

These are the 9 areas of the Bagua to work with in your home, office or business.
There is no need to go out and purchase a lot of items unless you feel like you need to.
Often, you kind find the things/colors/objects you need in other areas of your home, and just move them to the area that is most auspicious for them this year.

In the areas where you are placing ‘Protective’ icons such as Kilun or Lions, put them in the highest possible place in the room, where, as guardians, they have the highest vantage point or view to help them in their ‘job’ of watching over you, and guarding you, your family, business or property.

Chakra

"Chakra" is a Sanskrit word meaning "wheel", or "wheel of light", pronounced "sha-kra". (Some people say "Shock - Rah")

A simple definition is "any of several points of physical or spiritual energy in the human body".
I will say, once I learned about the energy centers called Chakras, and how our thoughts, emotions and energies can impact our physical health, how our emotional issues can be displayed via blocked or excessive energies from different chakras, it made a lot of sense to me. Learning about these influences, and learning how to BALANCE the energies of all 7 main chakras became an important daily healing tool for me. Becoming involved in energy healing raised my understanding and consciousness of these energy vortexes both for myself and others... I then

learned that Rieki Masters and other healers also work with the Chakras of the body.

'The chakra system has been known and recognized by many cultures since ancient times as our energetic links to the physical, emotional, etheric and spiritual bodies. It's important for anyone interested in energy healing, manifesting or psychic development to familiarize themselves with the chakra system and to learn meditation techniques to clear, open, balance, protect and regulate their system regularly, but everyone can benefit from it.'

There are hundreds of energy points mapped out in the human body, you begin by exploring the seven major chakras and then the subtle energy bodies and body Meridians, and the flow of chi both through the body and around the body in the 'aura'.

Paxton Manor Haunted House Leesburg, VA

Paxton Manor is an old Manor and estate that was donated to the county to help disabled children and their families. This year they did a 'haunted house' to raise funds to help keep the organization going.

My friends that have a paranormal investigation group & I were invited to do a real Haunted House investigation of the mansion. There were some very spooky places there and all types of things happened while we were there and on subsequent evenings.

Best of all, LARC and Paxton Manor raised over $41,000 to help

support their programs for disabled children and their families.

Enjoy! http://www.myfoxdc.com/dpp/mornings/holly_live/holly-morris-va-scaregrounds-102010

FOX 5 News on our investigation of a Haunted House.

Our 4 - 4 minute segments got reduced to 1 - 4 minute segment.... so we were very rushed...... after arriving at 6:30 AM, we didn't go on the air (it was live) until after 9:40 AM - in the fog, mist and humidity to frizz our hair.... :-/

EARLY ONSET ALZHEIMER'S NGF GENE THERAPY CLINICAL TRIAL

ABC Nightline story on clinical trial 10 month update after neurosurgery

EARLY ONSET ALZHEIMER'S NGF GENE THERAPY CLINICAL TRIAL

http://abcnews.go.com/Nightline/video/alzheimers-breakthrough-11953073&tab=9482930&section=1206872&playlist=11609852

This is the link to the Nightline story on ABC with Terry Moran about the clinical trial for Gene Therapy (NGF) at Georgetown University. This is the update 10 months after surgery.

When you watch the Nightline story, please click on the 'LIKE' button on the ABC page to show ABC your support and appreciation for them airing this story (they started working with us a year ago on the story). If you want to share this news story with others, PLEASE DO.

2 years ago, we had not a glimmer of hope in dealing with this devastating disease that was when we found the Georgetown Memory Disorders Clinical Trials and began the process of joining a clinical trial. Now we have some hope, and we want others that are dealing with this disease for themselves or a loved one to have some hope also. Hopelessness and helplessness are two very dark emotions/feelings that can rob you of so much whether you want to let them to or not. Even one spark of hope can re ignite our life and our light.

Without the love, prayers and support of so many, we would NOT be in this place today. Altazar (Rich) is the 2nd human being in the world to have this experimental surgical procedure of Gene Therapy inserted in to the brain to see IF and IF ANY, WHAT, impact it may have on Alzheimer's Disease.

We feel and know that it is the energy of Prayers and Support that put us in this place at this time. This clinical trial is our glimmer of hope!

NBC Washington is also airing a news story about this clinical trial towards the end of November that will air on NBC affiliates around the country as one of their Health segments.

Our next post-surgical follow up with a PET scan, MRI, and other testing will be in December for the 1 year follow up.

New research now shows that symptoms may begin appearing as much as 10 to 20 years earlier than they had originally thought. Also, there is now DNA/Gene testing they can do to see if you carry a gene to indicate the likelihood that you may develop Alzheimer's. The earlier you know, the earlier you can start intervention therapy and treatments. Altazar’s symptoms began in his early/mid 40's and he was FINALLY diagnosed at 52.

MID YEAR UPDATE Gulf oil and Methane Concerns

2010 PROPHECIES AND PREDICTIONS

MID YEAR UPDATE Gulf oil and Methane Concerns

They (spirit guides) said there would be several oil leaks and spills and the increased drilling of oil which are causing the Tectonic plates to shift. This will increase volcano and earthquake activity globally, specifically areas touched by the Pacific plates.

Methane gas bubbles arise from the Atlantic and Gulf sea floors 365 days a year and have been proven to cause some of the unexplained disappearances of vessels and airplanes in the Bermuda Triangle area due to the large concentration of Methane gas that bubbles up and causes disruptions.

Serious contamination caused by oil drilling will cause Plate shifting and salt water/oily salt water intrusion into the drinking wells and underground water tables in Florida, all gulf coastal areas and possibly the Atlantic side of Florida as well. Personal wells and drinking water will be contaminated for decades to come.

THE BIGGEST DANGER THEY HAVE SHOWN ME SO FAR (besides the above mentioned issues) is chemical poisoning/cancers/diseases from all of the oil in the water, sand, beaches and food chain.

There was no discussion of Florida being wiped out and I have not been getting any dire feelings or warnings about Florida (being destroyed).

ASTROLOGY FOR THE WEEK OF MARCH 22 TO MARCH 28, 2010 By Psychic Sherry Sherry

MONDAY: Mars & Saturn cooperating on Monday make a good
day for focus and productivity. Get your projects done!
After Monday, things will begin to slow down for the next 3 weeks.

· The next three weeks are a great time to move forward quickly in
short bursts of energy and intent, then stop at just the right times to
review what you have accomplished and plan your next step.
If you are not ‘in sync’ with these patterns, it can be very frustrating, but, if like the surfer out in the water, you watch intently, and wait for the right time to catch the right waves and ride them in to shore, you will accomplish much with great support from the universe. And every surfer knows that when there are no waves, the either wax their board, catch some sun or visit with friends, until the time and the waves are right again for them to take their boards out in to the ocean and ride some more waves.

· WEDNESDAY: Wednesday continues the stressful theme of proper use of personal power and public power, personal responsibilities and public responsibilities, real actions versus what you said you would do, and the reasons behind your actions or lack of action.
This pattern is strong especially through next Monday, so it still gives you some time to get things back on course and moving in the right direction, not only for you, but those around you.
(THINGS TO WATCH: VOTES ON HEALTHCARE, and the repercussions, public and private from the vote choices, PUBLIC FIGURES HAVING THEIR SECRETS REVEALED IE: Tiger Woods, Jesse James.)

· THURSDAY: The sun and Moon are both in FIRE signs that light your spirits and make for great cooperation with others, and a good time to get together with those that you care about.

· FRIDAY: Mercury and VENUS meet up in the strong sign of ARIES, which combined with the Moon in the fire sign of Leo which ENERGIZES EVERYTHING. There is a lot of FIRE in the air, so watch your emotions and the emotions of others carefully. Try to enjoy the energy without getting ‘burned’ by it all.

· SATURDAY/SUNDAY: The Moon moves out of firey Leo and into a quieter Virgo making for a great weekend to work on your spring cleaning and get a lot of projects and organizing accomplished.
This includes organizing our physical world, but also going within to ‘clean and organize’ our inner world as well, so take some time for quiet and reflection. Sit and sip on a cup of tea, while you consider changing the furniture around and cleaning the drapes.

Astrology for the week of March 8 - 15 2010

New Moon Sunday
(Mars Retrograde ends of Wednesday)
Venus in Aries is in a square/opposition to Saturn which is in Libra

• This potent combination will make it easy to hurt the ones that we love
  and to be hurt by the ones that we love
  RESOLUTION: Try to be Gracious NOT Vicious
• Mars Retrograde ends Wednesday in Leo, making seeing things eye to eye difficult
  RESOLUTION: Take a deep breath before you speak
  try not to attack others verbally
• Pisces New Moon is aligned with Mercury and Jupiter and is a
  very supportive time to START NEW BEGINNINGS
  This energy is a great time to begin or continue
  education or the pursuit of knowledge and learning in
  the fields of;
  Medicine, Healing, Theology, Philosophy, Psychology
  
• This is also a great time for a trip or journey
  Especially to new or foreign places
  

Astrology for the week of March 1 to March 7 by Psychic Sherry Sherry

• Mercury is in Pisces for the next three weeks which will give us trouble
  distinguishing what is real and what we THINK is real
• During this period be extra cautious of "con games", and anything that sounds
  "too good to be true"
• During this period it is extra important for you to as truthful and accurate as
  you can in anything you say or write because of Mercury in Pisces creating veils
  of illusion and disillusion
• The Moon and Saturn are CLASHING with Pluto, which will cause clashes between
  "Partners", this includes personal and business relationship, and is accelerated by
  Mercury being in Pisces
• THURSDAY is a good day for CREATIVE projects
• Later this week Venus is moving into AIRIES a fire sign full of energy, which can
  bring FIRE in to emotional relationships and situations. Remember, FIRE can
  warm you up, or burn you up. Like our parents always told us, DON'T PLAY
  WITH FIRE
• Continuing from last week, please postpone any elective procedures or surgeries until
  AFTER March 3 due to high risk of extra bleeding. Pay extra attention to any
  cuts or wounds you get during this time.

20th anniversary Drum Dance started by Grandfather, Joseph Rael

Dear Friends,
This year is an auspicious one for the dance arbor in beautiful Asheville, NC. They will be having their 20th anniversary Drum Dance started by Grandfather, Joseph Rael, Beautiful Painted Arrow. This is the the same location where he led his last dance the year of his retirement in 1996. It is a beautiful location just east of Asheville, in Swannanoa NC and is being held on Labor Day weekend in September. It starts on Friday and ends on Sunday with a huge feast and sharing.
I have a brochure for the Dance along with Zoe Bryant's contact information if you are feeling drawn to the Dance. Altazar & I will be two of the drummers at the Dance. We have been connected with this Dance and the Land since 1995.
There is also an incredible Peace Chamber on the land (Beautiful Painted Arrow helped to dig the foundation of the Peace Chamber). This particular Chamber is the closest to Beautiful Painted Arrow's original vision. If you feel called to Dance there, you must pre-register with Zoe Bryant to make sure there is space. If you have any questions about the Dance, please contact Zoe Bryant. If you feel drawn to be there as a worker, you must contact Zoe and discuss this with her, and receive her permission to be there. As with all of the Dances, this is a closed ceremony, with no spectators or guests.
Blessings,
Sherry

Susan Boyle

Here is some fascinating and insightful information about Scottish singing sensation Susan Boyle, featured on 'Britain's Got Talent' with 'American Idol' Judge, Simon Cowell:

Priest not surprised by Scottish woman's (Susan Boyle) performance on British TV
By Simon Caldwell, Catholic News Service LONDON (CNS) --

The audience snickered and the judges of "Britain's Got Talent" either rolled their eyes or allowed their blank expressions to betray their bemused skepticism as the awkward-looking middle-aged woman told them she wanted to be as famous as the popular British actress and singer Elaine Paige.Then Susan Boyle began to sing, and they were spellbound and shocked by the beauty of her voice and rose to their feet in applause.But Father Basil Clark, who watched the show on television at his home in Broxburn, Scotland, was not surprised.He has seen the situation unfold many times before, having regularly accompanied Boyle, 47, on the annual Legion of Mary pilgrimage to the Marian shrine in Knock, Ireland.

"When I watched the judges' faces it reminded me of what I was like when I first saw Susan singing -- absolutely blown away by the quality of the singing and by that fantastic voice," said Father Clark, dean of West Lothian, the district that covers Boyle's home village of Blackburn."Anyone who sees her for the first time behaves the same way. I have never heard her sing badly, though she might lose the words if the stress gets too much," he told Catholic News Service in an April 16 telephone interview.Boyle first appeared before judges Simon Cowell, Piers Morgan and Amanda Holden on the ITV1 sister show of "America's Got Talent"; it was broadcast April 11.Her fame spread on the Internet, and in just five days she had attracted more than 15 million YouTube viewings of her rendition of "I Dreamed a Dream," from the musical "Les Miserables."Part of Boyle's attraction is that she appears to be such an unlikely candidate for stardom. She said on TV that she has "never been kissed" and has lived alone with her cat since her mother died in 2007.According to British media, she has learning disabilities as a result of being starved of oxygen at birth. She is unemployed and, as a churchgoing Catholic, her social life revolves around her family and her parish of Our Lady of Lourdes. She also enjoys karaoke in her local pub.

Father Clark said, "When she gets up to sing it can either be wonderful or you can get the unpredictable eccentric behavior, but it is to do with the fact that she has learning difficulties."In a sense, there is a beautiful voice trapped in this damaged body," he said. "It is an absolute contrast. There she was on television acting very peculiarly and the audience was expecting peculiar things to happen and then a voice of an angel comes out -- and that's Susan."Father Clark said that local people who knew Boyle, the youngest of nine children of a family descended from Irish migrants, were "enormously proud of her and wish her the best but they are aware of the risks she is running," adding that her behavior has previously drawn cruel taunts from children."People are slightly worried about what might happen after this bout of fame," he explained."I am quite worried for her," he added. "I think it's great at one level. It might just be the thing that will make her, but she is a very vulnerable person and it could be quite difficult."It is a great opportunity for her and as far as I am concerned she should make the best of it, and if it lasts, it lasts, and if it doesn't, then it's still more than almost any one of us will ever achieve," he added. "It is important in sustaining her and making sure this is all a very, very beneficial experience."He described Boyle as "a woman of great faith" who was often "very gentle and very caring" though she could also be "needy and demanding."The world's media has camped outside Boyle's home where she grew up and where she still sleeps in the same room as when she was a child.But Boyle has decided to temporarily escape the limelight to stay with friends as she prepares for the next round of the competition, in which she is expected to sing "Whistle Down the Wind," by Andrew Lloyd Webber.She did give an interview to "The Early Show" on CBS News in which she said that her instant fame "hasn't really sunk in yet."She said that she wanted to make her performance "a tribute to my mother" who had encouraged her to sing."I knew it was something I had to do," she said. "I had to get on with it. That's where the courage came from, my mother."The ones who made fun of me are now nice to me," she said. "So, I think I may have won them 'round."

PLUTO RETROGRADE IN CAPRICORN APRIL 4 - SEPTEMBER 11, 2009

Pluto Stationary Retrograde (April 4, 2009)Pluto in Capricorn
Pluto in Capricorn (2008 – 2023/24) will make its first retrograde cycle entirely in the sign of Capricorn from April 4 through September 11, 2009, as it reverses from 3/4 degrees to 0/1 degree. This will be the first of 14 Pluto retrograde cycles within Capricorn, signifying our soul’s need for a complete overhaul of our relationships to money, resources, career, self-responsibility, self-determination, parenting and social maturation. This first retrograde cycle will show us where things are not working out in our life along these Capricorn archetypes, and the opportunities for evolution to the depth of our soul.
The purpose of planetary retrograde cycles is to review the past and let it go where necessary. This creates a void in which new ideas, desires, beliefs and actions can come in – if – we do not fill it up with recycling the old for security reasons. Planetary retrogrades are opportunities to rebel. It takes courage to exercise the will and desire nature to move forward into an unknown future. Enter Pluto at its stationary points – retrograde and direct – and deep unconscious beliefs and desires of the soul come to the surface, getting our attention, forcing their way into our consciousness.
When Pluto makes its annual stationary point to reverse geocentric direction for five months, it is easier to recognize those desires of the soul which are not working anymore. We may have exhausted the desire and yet it feels so comfortable that we keep repeating old patterns. We may feel frustrated by desires we cannot as yet seem to manifest, or control, in our lives. We experience soul dissatisfaction in the gazillion ways human consciousness can create it. The themes will run along inner and outer confrontations that clarify our soul’s deepest desires. Which desires are ready for release, as a result of our having exhausted a separating desire? Which new desires are emerging within us, at once silent as a whisper and screaming in our face?
Pluto retrograde through the zodiacal signs shows us the collective soul desires that are up for review and relative to each culture, society and country. Pluto retrograde on the broadest collective levels serves to evolve human consciousness as a species. We are noticing these collective trends on the most personal levels through the Capricorn themes of monetary policies and fiscal self-responsibilities. We are amidst natural contraction cycles within which we must ask ourselves to re-prioritize, to formulate new value references which effectively square any adopted value systems with our actual resource usage.
Hopefully, we will create the awareness, and courage, to revise our monetary supply and fiscal regulations with social systems that work for all classes of citizens, regardless of income. Most modern human history is based upon private central banking systems – the U.S. Federal Reserve is privately owned – which tend to be based upon profits, usually for the owners. Public central banking systems are based upon broader entities – like nations or states – with profits minimized in order to increase goods and services created, in order to support public infrastructure. Amongst the ostensibly ‘United’ States, North Dakota has the only state-chartered bank (owned and run by its government). It is one of only four states which have a balanced budget in 2009, and a surplus in its coffers.
In the case of the United States, the private ownership enterprise known as the Federal Reserve is comprised of almost 3,000 member banks (national and state) who collectively subscribe to stock equal to 6% of their capital, which is then deposited within the 12 Federal Reserve banks. Effectively, manifestly, the largest 10 banks own approximately 70% of the Fed stock.
This is the industry that has been lobbying for–and succeeding in the de-regulation of, its own banking laws ever since the 1980s. Neptune was in Capricorn from 1984-1998 and Uranus moved through Capricorn from 1988-1995. Pluto in Scorpio (1983/84-1995) and Pluto in Sagittarius (1995-2008) have brought money-making schemes (like derivatives, hedge funds, and credit debt swaps) that have crashed as Pluto enters Capricorn. Re-regulation of monetary/banking systems is necessary. What will we get as Pluto goes retrograde in Capricorn?
Banks need to maintain adequate capital reserves while shadow banking techniques and accounting schemes need to become more fully transparent. The lack of adequate regulations has exasperated this economic recession, and it has wildly shook up human consciousness on the most personal of levels: rising unemployment. Our banking systems will be overhauled to the degree which humanity can at once demand equity and accountability and accept and implement social responsibility for the dynamic integration of these principles within its monetary systems as they, too, grow and evolve.
What has emerged with a new U.S. administration up to Pluto’s “change of direction” is no change of direction from the past. If socially-equitable fiscal systems are not implemented then we will repeat the collective cycles (large monetary upsets) until it hurts our pocketbooks hard enough that we pay attention. What the U.S. lacks the courage to do on a national level might come about on a state level through the necessary task of balancing fiscal budgets. The seven waxing squares of Uranus in Aries to Pluto in Capricorn (2012-2015) may bring an uprising of states taking charge of their own banking systems in order to exchange public interest debt for public capital, something which is perfectly legal to do.
Pluto retrograde will reveal these themes to those who are looking. Consensus consciousness will just see one more cycle of victimization, whether from Wall Street or the federal government or both. The archetype of Capricorn is learning how to grow up and socially mature in the world. Most monetary policies are run by consensus souls more invested in short-term selfish interests at the expense of others (exclusive-based social systems) than stable long-term enterprises.
Outer planetary transits through Capricorn always bring about the evolution of social systems, either pro-actively and/or as necessary. We only have to look at the current financial state in the modern world to recognize fiscal changes are absolutely necessary in order to manifest global community. Pluto retrograde is about becoming upset enough, individually and collectively, to create change on broad social levels. Here is the first complete retro cycle in Capricorn to raise the economic themes that need to be addressed over the next 15 years.
The polarity point of Capricorn is Cancer. All of these social upheavals and reforms point to the ability of familial units to survive and flourish. Healthy emotional family units lead to greater social maturation and participation levels and less drain on public systems and coffers. Unhealthy family units lead to more and more social involvement from crime to victimization patterns (immaturity) to lack of participation within society. Healthy inner security (emotional maturation and self-reliance) creates increasing abilities to evolve with social changes.
There is always an evolving interplay between the familial unit and the social unit. How do we abide by social agreements, and yet rebel when social systems have crystallized and no longer serve the greater whole? How do social minorities gain a slice of the reforming collective? Many times the larger the social unit the slower it is to evolve, and therefore it becomes necessary for increasingly intense social upsets. Social systems that support familial bonding and basic needs tend to create healthier societies.
Pluto retrograde in Capricorn will demand that we review our desire nature around money, work and social systems. With the current contracting economic cycles, needs are simplified down to the familial basics like food, clothing and shelter. In the modern world, health care becomes the fourth basic need, and actually functions as a part of food and nutrition. Unhealthy diets contribute to more disease and social decline.
Our current health system in the U.S. is also mostly privately-based, again for profit. The problem is similar to monetary policies – should health care be for-profit based, or a basic societal need? While the U.S. spends almost twice as much on health care per capita compared to the G5 countries (Canada, Japan, Germany, the United Kingdom and France), its citizens receive less in health benefits. Health care in America is an economic drain, taking away resources that could be invested elsewhere in societal needs like crumbling infrastructures in urban areas.
The evolution of both fiscal and healthcare policies will be a balance of social function and individual responsibility. Social groups will be a reflection of the collective beliefs and, therefore, systems supported by such beliefs. While the United States prides itself upon being a Christian nation, its actions (social systems) are more reflective of exclusivity-based beliefs. Perhaps it is time for U.S. beliefs to evolve beyond specific religions toward basic human rights not limited to conforming to a specific belief system, or even belief in a god.
Individually, Pluto in Capricorn behooves us to grow up. Pluto retrograde forces it upon us when necessary. Depression sets in unless we are willing to deeply question cherished beliefs and cultural understandings. Somehow, at the same time we desire more equitable social systems, it is requisite that we take the next self-responsibility step. Government and social systems cannot save us; they are not totally responsible for our unique situation. We are responsible–and acceptance of self-determine-ation allows us to function in social situations and careers, as we at once strive for ever more freedom and autonomy.
It is our personal responsibility (Cancer) to learn management of our resources like money, to determine the difference between a “need” and a “want.” It is our self-responsibility to take care of the temple of our soul – the physical body – through diet, exercise and rest. As those needs are met, we move on to the more subtle emotional reasons behind any health imbalance, and the mental and spiritual reasons behind the emotions.
Within natural law, any government functions on a manifestly social level are based upon compositionally-collective beliefs, Sagittarius followed by Capricorn. Distorted beliefs create distorted social groups and wounded souls. The upheavals belief systems have experienced through Pluto in Sagittarius will now be addressed through Pluto in Capricorn. Do we need religion to feed the children and care for the sick? Might natural spiritual laws and principles show us that the group survives better when it supports its individuals? It increases the chances of then-able-to-mature individuals to support ever better social systems in return.
Pluto retrograde in Capricorn brings on the reality checks. It takes us through re-prioritizing what are the most important needs in order to survive. It reminds us our outer world is only as good as our inner world. It draws us inward to find emotional sustenance and peace. It asks our souls to let go of desires no longer serving us. It brings the opportunities to manifest new desires emerging within our soul. It forces us to mature individually and collectively. The choices are yours–and ours. Go for it.
April 4 – Pluto stationary retrograde at 3/4 degrees Capricorn.
June 23 – Sun oppose Pluto retrograde at 2 degrees Cancer-Capricorn.
September 11 – Pluto stationary direct at 0/1 degree Capricorn.

Pluto Retrograde 2009

APRIL 4 through SEPTEMBER 11 2009

In the natal chart, Pluto tends to operate even more Plutonian when it is retrograde. It is far more intense, it possesses a higher degree of concentration and it, therefore, gives greater insights into the subconscious. Because of this intensity, the individual can see much more than normally possible and it is easy to become suspicious of the motives of others. The powers of regeneration are far greater when retrograde. People with a natal retrograde Pluto have a tremendous ability to overcome major illnesses that might otherwise cause permanent disability. Remember, retrograde motion is always directed toward inner activity such as the psyche or psychological patterns that affect the physical body. Direct motion, on the other hand, is directed towards external circumstances.

Under any Pluto transit, we feel pressured to eliminate and release the old, outworn, outdated and obsolete in our lives. When Pluto is transiting retrograde, we are urged to let go of attitudes, thinking or communication patterns, security drives, rigid emotions; a time to undergo an internal form of house cleaning. It is a good time to research into our own Souls in order to determine exactly what we do or do not need. Because Pluto retrograde imparts an intense power for investigation, we should use this time to assess what reoccurring patterns in our lives make us feel out of control, where and why do we continually give our power away, and under what circumstances do we react so defensively that we elicit attacks from others. Pluto retrograde marks a time wherein we should seek to gain greater control over our personal life; Pluto direct is better for gaining control over professional and financial areas. My most frequent observation of Pluto retrograde is that many people do seek some form of regenerative activity. I have seen people undertake a series of internal cleansings, detoxifying diets, Eastern disciplines that put them in touch with the inner self and even intense psychological reforms.

IMPORTANT DATES:
PLUTO-MARS: APRIL 26-27; AUGUST 25-26 2009 – Pluto- Mars be intense and even obsessive mentally. When afflicted, we are urged to resist external pressure, control or manipulation by others. Do not act under pressure.

PLUTO-VENUS: APRIL 2-3 9200 – This indicates a need to change attitudes in relating. Money and relating can become complicated.
