March 11 Marks the Eleventh Anniversary of the Ongoing Fukushima Nuclear Disaster

Today is a bit of a sobering day every year as it rolls around. March 11, 2022 marks the eleventh anniversary of the beginning of the Fukushima nuclear disaster. What people need to be aware of, first and foremost, is that this crisis has never ended. It has never been stopped. It has never been cleaned up. It continues to release toxic radioactivity into the environment and into the Pacific Ocean, in addition to the massive loads released early on. The current containment and clean-up methods are partial, stop-gap, and highly problematic, to say the least. This is still very much an ongoing nuclear crisis.

I wrote an extensive article last year on the tenth anniversaries of both the Gulf of Mexico oil/Corexit disaster and the Fukushima nuclear crisis, which I will link to here. I think it's one of the stronger articles I've written in my 14-year career as an astrology writer.

An Astrological Review of Two Chiron in Pisces Ocean Disasters at their 10th Anniversaries: the Gulf of Mexico Oil/Corexit Disaster and the Fukushima Nuclear Disaster

April 20, 2020 marked the 10-year anniversary of the British Petroleum/Deepwater Horizon oil gusher and Corexit disaster that poisoned and continues to poison the Gulf of Mexico and the plants, animals, and people living in the area.

March 11, 2021 marks the 10-year anniversary of the Daiichi nuclear power plant disaster at Fukushima, Japan that poisoned and continues to poison the atmosphere, Pacific Ocean, and plants, animals, and people all over the world.

I've covered both disasters on this site:

Fukushima nuclear crisis

Gulf of Mexico oil spill

This article looks at astrological and thematic similarities between the two and illustrates how these are actually ongoing disasters.

As you can see in the charts below, both disasters occurred with tight conjunctions between Neptune in late Aquarius and Chiron in early Pisces. 

Wounded healer Chiron (wounds, injuries, health, healing, lessons) was just beginning its transit of Pisces (oceans, oil, dissolution, dispersion, the invisible) as these disasters were initiated. In both cases, we see tremendous harm to the health of the oceans and to all life connected to them.

Neptune, the ruling planet of Pisces, is the God of the sea. Neptune was in late Aquarius at the time of both disasters. Aquarius is associated with energy and electrical current, and both disasters involved the production of energy - oil in the case of the Deepwater Horizon offshore drilling rig and nuclear power in the case of the Fukushima Daiichi plant.

Neptune in late Aquarius was in a mutual reception and tight semi-sextile aspect to Uranus in late Pisces in both charts. Mutual reception means each planet was inhabiting the sign ruled by the other at the time of the disasters. This intensifies the interplay and the inter-meshed themes between the two, including the element of instability and explosiveness, as well as the magnitude of the shocking or unexpected events involving the ocean.

Both disasters occurred at the time of a major ingress. The Deepwater Horizon explosion occurred on the day Chiron entered Pisces. The Fukushima nuclear disaster occurred as Uranus re-entered Aries. Note: Japan is 15 to 18 hours ahead of North America, so this event happened on March 11 in Japan, which was March 10 in North America. News broke in North America on March 11, as Uranus re-entered Aries.

What's a Post These Days if it Doesn't Mention Dead Birds, Nazis and Twitter?

Have we entered an Ice Age already? Nah, it's just the Canadian prairie in December. Weeks of unnatural grey and cloud with only the slightest of sunny breaks. All Winter in a Day.

I know the world has gone all to hell since entering 2011 (when isn't it, though, really?). 'Biblical' floods in Australia, birds falling dead from the sky, haywire weather all over the damned place, high profile killing after high profile killing. There has been a definite acceleration, and it will keep getting faster.

The purge is on to remove anyone who isn't a "true believer" from the ranks as we head ever-closer to the first in the series of seven squares of Uranus in Aries to Pluto. The last series of Uranus in Aries squares to Pluto coincided with the Nazi purges of their ranks. It also coincided with the beginning of Stalin's. Just for a little context. That was closer to the end of the square series, but as I noted before, they're getting a jump on it straight out of the gate this time around.

And this is not to be flippant about it.

The Gulf Loop Current being severed has sort of left us screwed, blued and tattooed. We've got not only floods to look forward to but major temperature fluctuations and probably drought, if the scientific predictions are on the money. Add your standard HAARPicanes, tornadoes and frequency-induced earthquakes, and well...we've got a whole big manufactured 'End Times' shindig going down on this little spinning planet. Par-tay. They don't call it Revel-ations for nothing!

People are starving to death as manufactured food shortages and stock market speculation/derivatives schemes drive the price of food globally to "record highs." Remember that 'biblical' flooding in Pakistan's breadbasket this summer? And the flooding and devastation of crops in Canada's breadbasket? Unbeknownst to most supermarket shoppers, that's where food comes from. So flooding out those areas = not good.

But if some overprivileged dipshit with a stylish, stylish life isn't yipping about it on Twitter, no one pays all that much attention.

The injustice of purposeful starvation, leaving people to wither and languish...well, I know many find it cliched to actually care about your fellow human beings this far into Pisces, but it makes me weak. It makes me feel ill. It makes me want to burn myself in protest...

Oh, wait. I already do that. Via Combusta gal and all.

So yes, this is all kinds of miserable. And intolerable. I want to write about it. Expose it. Put it here in black and white so no one can go on denying what's happening. But you see, Saturn is stationing retrograde right now smack dab on my natal Pluto. Pluto plays a major role in my chart and in my life, and this transit is taking up a lot of energy.

So bear with me as I trudge through the waves of existential horror. (The worst part about Saturn transits is they make it all so concrete and in-your-face!) I'm hanging by the skin of my teeth here at times.

The good news is:

Jupiter is about to move into Aries January 22. New territory in the biggest of ways. One more layer of tail-end Pisces drops away.

We're in that period of time when every single body in the zodiac is moving forward, so you know a lot of progress is happening. I wouldn't really know due to that aforementioned Saturn stationing on Hellzone, but I'm sure it is. I'm sure of it! Saturn breaks the spell January 25 by turning retrograde at 17 Libra.

Mercury moves into Capricorn January 13 and out of its retrograde territory (yes, we're still in retrograde shadow degrees!) January 17. My computer has been buggy since Mercury entered the shadow, so we'll see if this improves things at all. Sure, Mercury hits a conjunction to Pluto immediately after leaving the retro shadow degrees, but you know...it's at least SOME news, maybe not the best news.

Mars leaves Cappie for Aquarius January 15. We're at that point in Canadian winter where you just have to get weird to get through it. The Sun enters Aquarius January 20, bringing the full-on detached bizarreness of it all.

January 19, we have our fourth of five anaretic degree Full Moons. The Moon will be at home in its own sign here - Cancer, of course.

Mercury Goes Direct and Looking to the Plutonic Root

We've navigated our way through a tricky solstice period and are now released from some of the most constricting aspects.

We made our way through Sun conjunct Pluto in Capricorn December 26 and Mars in Capricorn square Saturn in Libra December 29, which had some bleakness and bottoming out effects associated. We`re now slowly putting some time and distance between us and the grinding, heavy-hitter aspects that were working away beneath the buoyance of the holidays.

Mercury went direct at 19 Sagittarius early this morning, and the travellers stranded, delayed and diverted by wicked winter storms in the United Kingdom and along the eastern parts of the United States and Canada will be breathing a sigh of relief that the holiday season is coming to a close. A wicked Mercury retro it was, infused powerfully with both Pluto and Mars in Capricorn energy at the time of the retrograde station.

We saw uncharacteristically stormy weather wreak havoc in the United Kingdom and along the eastern side of Canada and the United States. But there was weird weather in many other areas, too, including much cooler than usual temperatures in Florida and much wetter weather in California.

With Pluto involved, there is a deeper and broader root cause for the symptoms of wicked weather and resulting Mercury retro chaos. And with Jupiter about to form a conjunction to Uranus in Pisces on the day of the 13th degree Capricorn New Moon/partial solar eclipse January 4, I think we can look to the disruption of the Gulf Loop Current by the BP oil disaster.

The Loop Current plays a crucial role within the Gulf Stream, the ocean current that travels from the tip of Florida along the eastern coastlines of the United States and Canada. The Gulf Stream then splits in two, with the northern stream moving to northern Europe and the southern stream moving to West Africa.

The Gulf Stream influences the climate of the east coast of North America from Florida to Newfoundland and the west coast of Europe. In particular, this current carries warm water across the Atlantic, making Western Europe warmer than it would otherwise be.

Hmm...

Dr. Gianluigi Zangari, an Italian theoretical physicist, warned this past cardinal t-square-infused summer that the disruption of the Loop Current within the Gulf Stream could cause extreme weather and temperature changes, as well as droughts, floods and resulting crop failures. More fodder for the derivatives schemes.

And here's the Piscean tip: the Loop Current plays a crucial role within the Gulf Stream which plays a crucial role within the interlinked system of ocean currents that regulate global weather patterns. To say that the disruption of the Gulf Loop Current means the disruption of all weather patterns on Earth and, therefore, all life on Earth, is no exaggeration.

Here's where we're being attacked at this tail-end Piscean Era: with all the inter-related aspects of life on this planet. Permeate the whole by attacking individual parts. Ripple-effect shock waves set off by broad-scale events that reach right into personal lives.

Venus is in late Scorpio and will enter Sagittarius January 7, having moved out of retrograde shadow degrees and the Via Combusta at 13 and 15 degrees Scorpio.

Venus will square Neptune-Chiron in late Aquarius while trining Jupiter-Uranus on the day of our Cappie New Moon/solar eclipse (big aspects day), and our gut-level intuitive understanding gets a big workout from the Pisces-to-Aquarius, we're-living-in-some-sort-of-sci-fi-novel backdrop. Have your Scorpionic bullshit detectors at the ready! We're going to have to honour every last twinge of our feelers here - both personally and on the social/global scale. The key is reality-based smart over possibilities-driven hopeful. This far along, every Neptunian/Piscean trick in the book is at the disposal of those who have no problem putting that to use.

There are big almost-post-Piscean patterns here we need to move out of: patterns of belief, hopes, illusions, ideals, wishes that prove to be wounding mirage again and again. Dig down into your wiliest, craftiest, most boo-yah! self and let that motherfucker rock it as we close out 2010 and enter 2011. Peel through the weak-ass ploys and plays of those working the fuzzy wuzzy, pumped up Neptunian trip. Every layer debunked and illusion shattered matters now - on multiple levels.

We need the new track. The truly new one. Oh boy, do we. And that starts by proving ourselves with the Grand Finale Venus in Scorpio aspects coming...right...up.

The Divergence

The personal planets in Scorpio are hitting the square to Neptune-Chiron in Aquarius and the trine to Jupiter-Uranus in Pisces in wave after wave.

Mars, following asteroid Pallas Athene, kicked off the aspect parade October 20, with Mercury now moving through the same aspects beginning today and completing November 6. The Moon is strongly involved here, too, and will make the same aspects to Jupiter, Neptune, Chiron and Uranus as it conjuncts Venus and then the Sun and Mercury in Scorpio under the influence of this weekend's New Moon.

The Pisces-to-Aquarius flavour is very strong in the astro proceedings...

The sequence goes: Scorpio planet trines Jupiter in Pisces, squares Neptune in Aquarius, squares Chiron in Aquarius and trines Uranus in Pisces. You see how intermeshed this time frame is and how potent this pivot point is.

The Sun in Scorpio will hit this mark November 15-18, bringing us up to speed in our full, conscious moment as far as the sometimes nebulous realities of the Pisces-to-Aquarius transition. Watch closely what the Scorpio Sun shines its light on during this time frame. The final personal planet to run this gauntlet will be Venus in early January, just before it enters Sagittarius January 7.

The personal planets in Scorpio, a sign that does what it knows it has to do whether it really wants to or not, are doing their thing to break this party up, triggering some separation and distance. A divergence point is being carved out on the most nitty-gritty of levels, in the hidden areas of which only Scorpio is aware. We have to know exactly what (and whom) we're dealing with in order to know what direction (Aries) to take right out of the Aquarius gate. Every individual's movement and choices count. Don't be fooled into giving your influence away.

This divergence point is carved out as Chiron, Neptune, Jupiter and Uranus prepare to go direct, releasing us from backtrack mode. By December 5, the whole gang - Uranus in Pisces and Neptune in Aquarius in mutual reception along with the bodies conjunct them - will be moving direct, with Jupiter and Uranus on their way back to the Aries birth point we had a taste of this past summer during the cardinal T-squares.

On the most basic level, we're being asked to examine the motivations of our own souls (Scorpio). Divining to the core, to our source, to the reason we are here at this time. We're being asked to draw in, to keep our deepest spiritual values close, and to determine what is so important to us that there is nothing in this Earthly experience that could make us give it up.

These configurations also have to do with the human soul and spirit in relation to our biology and our connection to Earth and to the life force here. This connection is being used against us in the most heinous ways by those who believe they have harnessed the life force, life itself, and have become the source of it altogether. Our biology is being poisoned and our DNA manipulated by these fools.

And we're asked to determine what it means to us to be human - at a time when our survival as biological human beings is coming into question under the current conditions and possible future trajectories.

Did I think I would ever be living in a time when people would be being coerced to turn themselves into robots, synthetic forms? Or that we would unwillingly be part of experiments along these lines? Um...no. But here we are.

Nowhere is the intermixing of Piscean and Aquarian themes more apparent than in the Gulf of Mexico - unfortunately, taking expression in some of the most abominable forms possible.

Michael Edward, a gentleman in Florida who is getting the word out about what is really going on in the Gulf of Mexico, has dug up some information about a partnership between BP and a company called Synthetic Genomics. This company's goal is the commercialization of synthetic genes, DNA sequences and organisms. BP invested in this company and made a long-term research and development deal with them in June of 2007. One of the biggest areas of interest for this company is microbial cells in oil.

Remember those bacteria that eat that oil we've heard so much about?

It's possible that along with the deadly Corexit, synthetic organisms have also been unleashed in the Gulf of Mexico. A massive Pisces-to-Aquarius science experiment with human beings, animal and plant life - nature itself - as pawns. As the Corexit breaks the oil down into bite-sized chunks...

The shocking emergence of Aquarian technologies that change everything. A technological attack on the basic building blocks of life itself, DNA, genetic lineage. Uranus in Pisces to Aries.

The transitions are fast now, but it's nothing in comparison to the speed with which the realizations of where we are will strike when Uranus re-enters Aries, no longer buffered and obscured by the Piscean veil.

Black Moon Lilith is also hanging out along this Pisces-Aries cusp now and for the next while, letting us in on some of the dirty little secrets we need to know going into this next year related to the corruption of the feminine force.

We're having to strip the dead energy of the Piscean Age overlay layer-by-layer in preparation for Uranus in Aries tipping the scales further into Aquarius at the upcoming Spring Equinox. This doesn't mean Pisces energy itself is dead - though, I think many in "power" would like this to be the case. It's because true Piscean wisdom and understanding are going to be so crucially important as we shift into a stronger Aquarian overlay that we have to Scorpionically carve away and drop what is no longer effective or relevant to the times. Pisces energy is being born anew in an ongoing process - as all the signs/energies of the zodiac are - as we head to the Aquarian infusion marker of Uranus in Aries (beginning March 11).

I wouldn't get too caught up in Aquarian fervour, though.

Let's recall that Neptune in Pisces, transiting its own sign, will be a potent force for the next 15 years. It dips into Pisces for a quick, catalyzing blast of Uranus in Aries energy April 4 - August 5, 2011 before entering Pisces for good February 3, 2012. Here's the very beginning of Pisces for the Aquarian era. Pisces for the post-post-modern era? Neptune will be at home in its own sign of Pisces, but its home sign will also feel somewhat foreign as our spirituality and vital connection to spiritual guidance and intelligence shifts for the sake of direct relevance and effectiveness in these times on our planet.

Pisces on the other side of its hijacking by End Times, Armageddon, Revelation, Ascension.

Chiron (wounded healer asteroid) will also be in Pisces for the next seven years, marking a period where great healing but also great wounding devastation is possible, especially along Piscean lines. Holding Piscean wisdom and understanding will not be easy during these times as we watch things unfolding that go against everything we know in our hearts and souls to be right.

Things really start to shift at this New Moon with Neptune and Chiron going direct in tandem.

Venus and Jupiter both go direct November 18, adding to the forward-ho momentum.

Then December 5, Uranus in Pisces goes direct on the same day as our second 13th degree New Moon in Sagittarius.

At that point, every planet in the zodiac is moving direct heading into the New Year (other than a Mercury retrograde December 9 - 29).

Venus entering Sagittarius January 7 and Jupiter re-entering Aries January 22 stokes the flame.

Only Saturn in Libra will turn retrograde (January 25) before Uranus re-enters Aries for good March 11, just in time for a super potent Spring Equinox when the Sun, Mercury, Jupiter and Uranus will all be in the sign of the ram - ready for a strong burst forward.

So let the layers be lifted off you this weekend at this New Moon, release the burdens that are ready to go. Stake a new claim, and get ready for some big changes up ahead.

Pluto Conjunct the North Node in Capricorn and Heading Right Into the Heart of the Beast

Ceres, Pluto and the North Node are conjunct in early Capricorn, with Ceres just out in front. Pluto and the North Node come together exactly November 9, and our soul's path forward, the path leading us where we need to go collectively and personally, is driving us right through the heart of the corruption, terror and misery being purposefully inflicted on humankind. We have to see it if we are to change it, every last grasping tentacle.

There is a macabre puppet show going on at this tail-end astrological Piscean era and a sickening global ritual sacrifice of the most symbolic Piscean variety, with those at the top of a corpo-governmental oligarch stealing and manipulating energy, especially spiritual energy. There is attempt after attempt to break what is true and honourable as an offering to all that is sick, corrupted, demented. A grandscale attempt at the bending and turning away of the pure and true from its actual meaning and purpose, harnessing it to create abomination of surreal proportion. With human beings, animal and plant life and the balance of nature simply collateral damage on the way to these end goals.

The Presidents and CEOs are just the middle managers, of course, taking orders from much further up the pyramid scheme chain of command.

As are the New Age leaders - both open and covert - at all levels of that hierarchical ladder, locking their hapless followers in, though most don't recognize the game.

And we have absolutely bleak world headlines showcasing their handiwork.

We're in an era of HAARP-induced weather wars and frequency-induced energy wars, where dirty deeds and horrifying attacks can be committed under the radar, with an angry Mother Nature as convenient patsy.

These are absolutely heinous abuses of energy and of natural law. Atlantis Lite run amok...yet again. Turning our most basic and vital connections to the energies of the Earth against us.

A cholera outbreak has killed 300 Haitians, among the 1.3 million still displaced and desperate for assistance after the January 12 earthquake that toppled houses, businesses and infrastructure. Health officials are worried the cholera may settle in, along with tuberculosis and malaria. And the outpouring of international aid lines official pockets.

The Haitians are people who sought freedom from their enslaving French and British oppressors, no matter how deep the financial debt it would require to pay off the slavemasters and no matter how devastating the trade bans enforced against them. That set of priorities, that energetic precedent, is dangerous to those powers trying to drive the entry into Aquarius their way - away from freedom. As is the depth of soul and spiritual connection that would spur and sustain such a move out of the shackles of slavery.

Seven million remain homeless in Pakistan after the catastrophic floods in July that damaged almost two million homes and destroyed crops on a massive scale in that nation's breadbasket. Here's another deep, spiritual tradition, the strength of which you can see in the calm and peaceful faces of Pakistanis who find themselves in terrifyingly uncertain circumstances.

And in Indonesia, a 7.5 magnitude earthquake was followed by a tsunami and then a volcanic eruption at Mount Merapi in Java Tuesday. All three disasters hit within 24 hours, killing at least 300 with 400 more missing and tens of thousands displaced. This follows the December 2004 tsunami off Sumatra that killed 226,000 people.

Indonesia is another country that holds old, spiritual knowledge, wisdom and traditions - the type that certain forces would not want being carried over from Pisces to Aquarius.

It's being reported that likely among the dead is the elderly spiritual guardian of Mount Merapi, Mbah Maridjan, believed by many Javanese to possess magical powers. Maridjan was the volcano's "widely-loved custodian," regarded as a protector who used a combination of Islamic and animist rituals to keep Merapi under control.

And in Canada's North, yet another fairly pristine and untouched area where traditional people hold an energy close to the Earth, British Petroleum and Imperial Oil (parent company to ExxonMobil, by the way) are attempting to woo the northerners into opening the Beaufort Sea to offshore oil exploration and drilling.

Yes, as the horrifying disaster continues in the Gulf of Mexico, all under media blackout, these companies held a public meeting Monday night in Inuvik, Northwest Territories to pitch their case.

Two companies that should have been liquidated to compensate people in Alaska and the Gulf of Mexico are still, in this Pluto in Capricorn Age, open for business and intent on spreading their devastation even further. Not happy leaving even one vein unspiked...

There are still so few, relatively, who can or will connect the dots. So few who are willing to go all the way, to see right to the root, to truly peel away the false idols and shimmering Neptunian mirages.

But that Scorpio stellium is still working away. Mars on the anaretic degree, about to enter Sagittarius early tomorrow morning. The Sun, Mercury, Venus retrograde and Vesta. And the North Node conjunct Pluto and Ceres. The truth is getting harder to deny...

The Personal Planets in Scorpio Work Their Magic on the Era-Shifting Mutual Reception and Fighting for the Right to See Through Our Own Eyes

What dead fish? I don't see any dead fish. 

So they think the Age of the Fishies is over already, eh? All cleaned up. Nothing left to see. 

There was a massive fish kill September 10, 2010 in the Bayou Chaland area of Plaquemines Parish, Louisiana as well as two additional fish kills over a span of eight days in nearby areas that were also heavily oiled during the Deepwater Horizon oil spill. 

The only thing that smells worse than that many dead fish is BP and the U.S. government's official story... 

A statement issued by the Louisiana Department of Wildlife and Fisheries (LDWF) released the day after the Bayou Chaland fish kill stated the fish died from low oxygen levels unrelated to the Deepwater Horizon oil spill. According to P.J. Hahn, the Director of the Coastal Zone Management Department, the LDWF came to this conclusion without taking any water or fish samples of the area. 

Hahn collected his own samples of water and fish, and early independent testing found that (surprise, surprise) the fish had oil in their gills and liver. 

Here's the climate as Mars in Scorpio finishes squaring off with Neptune-Chiron retrograde in Aquarius and trining Jupiter-Uranus retrograde in Pisces - and as Pluto, Ceres and the North Node form a potent conjunction in early Capricorn pushing awareness of the corporate corruption of our environment and food supply to the surface. 

A robotic, manipulated, insane official explanation that defies all basic, human logic - and the requirement to shrug that off and dig for the real story ourselves. 

Getting beneath the permeating official line created by such crafty manipulators of the collective ethers takes all our skill, determination and courage. 

Tearing multi-layered masks off the soft-lit illusions that persistently work to keep people enmeshed in insane constructs not their own is a step-by-step process requiring us to go slowly and carefully, countering every official line with raw, gut-level Scorpionic authenticity - and research. 

Digging deeper, holding stronger and truer, scraping back the glossy veneer and the sounds-too-good-to-be-true every time the prescribed Neptunian easy out breezes in and attempts to sway our opinions. 

As the public is lulled back into that wounding Neptunian false sense of comfort and complacency, believing, incorrectly, that it's all over now and we just need to "move forward" (where have we heard that one before?), the Sun, Mercury, Venus retrograde and the asteroid Vesta also move through the murky Scorpionic bayous, fixed on digging us out. These bodies in Scorpio will also square Neptune-Chiron Rx in Aquarius and trine Jupiter-Uranus Rx in Pisces, putting in check the siren song pull into skimming over, cutting corners, emotional detachment, letting the 'officials' deal with it, and blind faith in the future (or in future generations) to save us. 

Scorpio wants us right here. Right in the thick of it. No squirming out of reach. No looking the other way. Dig down under all that fake sand that has been trucked in to the beaches of Florida, and you'll find all kinds of toxic muck. 

Two research vessels have found vast amounts of oil in samples dug up from the seafloor around the Macondo well site. 

Kevin Yeager, a University of Southern Mississippi assistant professor of marine sciences and chief scientist on the research trip, said in an article in USA Today that the oil found in samples ranged from light degraded oil to thick raw crude. 

"Clearly, there appears to be vast volumes of oil present on the seafloor," Yeager said. "We saw considerable evidence of it." 

This, of course, blows claims made by the U.S. government that the oil had largely dispersed and disappeared right out of the toxic water - if we really required 'scientific evidence' to know that that was a false statement. BP and the U.S. government also claim that Corexit has not been used in the Gulf since mid-July. Local residents, however, report it being sprayed into early October. 

An October 10 video from Denise Rednour of Long Beach, Mississippi shows dead jellyfish and tarballs as well as the now all-too-familiar froth of Corexit mixed with oil washing up on the shore and creating vicious vapours. This makes the official claim about the discontinued use of Corexit hard to believe. 

A similar October 18 video shows large fish washing up dead along the shore of a public beach at Grand Isle, Louisiana, with some sort of official workers dutifully burying the evidence. This video shows the same frothy pools of Corexit washing up along with the fish. 

A follow-up video a few days later shows tar balls washing ashore along with dead snails and jellyfish - but the large fish have been removed from sight. 

According to Tulane University post-doctoral researcher and marine biologist Erin Grey, eighty percent of blue crab larvae samples collected by her organization from an area of the Gulf stretching from Louisiana to Florida showed evidence of oily orange droplets that tested positive for hydrocarbons. 

Harriet Perry, a biologist with the University of Southern Mississippi’s Gulf Coast Research Laboratory, has also reported that many of the crab larvae collected by her university have had the distinctive orange oil droplets inside. Perry says that in 42 years of studying crabs, she has never seen anything like it and that 40 percent of the area the crabs are known to inhabit has been affected by oil from the spill. 

And yet the U.S. government still insists Gulf seafood is safe to eat, reopening a 3,000 square mile area of the Gulf to fishing and shrimping south of the Mississippi Delta in early October after "sniff testing" - again, no tissue sampling - just three samples of shrimp from a 1,000 square mile area. No testing for heavy metals, no testing for dispersant. 

The local fisherman are being forced to sign a waiver stating that if they sell tainted seafood and someone gets sick from eating it, they will be held legally responsible. 

In Louisiana, Byron Encalade, the President of the Louisiana Oysterman Association, says the oysters have not spawned, leaving the status of the industry a complete unknown for years to come. 

In Tallahassee, Florida, a woman found oil in oysters she purchased at a seafood store. After several recent deaths from Vibrio vulnificus, a flesh-eating bacteria (also played up as the bacteria that eats oil) often found in oyster beds, researchers are studying how the oil disaster could possibly be increasing the abundance and virulence of these bacteria. 

Florida's Department of Health is warning people to avoid eating raw oysters and exposing open wounds to seawater and estuarine water. 

People are sick, physically and mentally. Millions will potentially be affected. There is no long-term understanding of what this much Corexit mixed with this much oil will do to the ecosystem or to the people living within range of it. Currently, people are debilitated by respiratory problems, headaches, nausea, rashes, exhaustion, tremors, flu-like symptoms, internal bleeding, depression and other mental illnesses. There are reports of diminished lung capacities, dissolving esophaguses, unexplained deaths. The Corexit is burning holes through people's skin. Doctors in the area are diagnosing scabies. None of it is related to the oil disaster, they say. And none of this passes the Scorpio stellium sniff test. 

We're in the territory of the zodiac where our actions are soul-informed, where we're moving by feel through the pitch dark, lovingly whispered to (with the Scorpio planets trining Jupiter-Uranus in Pisces) by all those who have experienced this before. At the root, this struggle has always been the same. 

Rooting out and exposing that which works to manipulate, injure, abuse and destroy us on this planet has always been this hard - harder. 

The web of damage and destruction cuts a broad swath, desperately deep. Impossible to keep on top of the full flood of information, of the extent of the corruption and dirty dealings through time and space. As Agent Orange and napalm morph into depleted uranium and GMOs and chemtrails. As Chevron's Rainforest Chernobyl in Equador's Amazon rainforest morphs into British Petroleum's horror show in the Gulf of Mexico. As guns and batons morph into sonic weaponry. As chemical warfare morphs into cyber and electromagnetic and weather wars. 

But we dig down deep because we know we're here now for a reason. We dig into our precious soul reserves and emanate from there, holding that energy, so valuable, and guarding it carefully, jealously. We've got just enough to get us through, despite the grieving and loss that saps us, if we use these reserves wisely. Mature Scorpio conserves its energy and uses it in the most potent and effective ways. So we step gingerly and cautiously and shrewdly as we tend to our shocked beings, dealing with the evaporation of big chunks of previous lives and selves, missing dearly what we've had to leave behind to get here. And those who have left. 

As the official line bullshit flies fast and furious, coaxing and loving us up and into its waiting arms, we have to trust our own eyes, our own insight, our own body knowledge and gut checks and sneaking suspicions above all else - and act on them. Finding that internal root truth in all situations, going beyond what those people on the flashing picture box tell us. Seeing through the carefully crafted images zipping by with the slick and pretty official words telling us what it all means. 

Easier said than done, though. 

We're in a time when the feminine knowledge, the internal, the intuitive, what we just KNOW is generally ridiculed, downplayed, scoffed at by those invested in the reinforcement of the mainstream constructs. We have to be willing to trust it even though it may make us the ridiculed, downplayed, scoffed at. To hone it until there are no skipped steps, no leaps in logic, no sabotaging blinders - only pure guidance, potent and implicitly trustworthy in every moment. 

I was recently told by a mainstream science and government-touting dude regarding water fluoridation that "the plural of anecdote is not evidence." Basically, he was saying that individual experience does not make scientific "evidence." And I think of what's going on in the Gulf right now and how dangerous that sentiment really is. How dangerous that sentiment always is, actually. What a sad, sad statement when the real experiences of human beings are passed over as unimportant or untrustworthy for the opinions of government and scientific and spiritual employees of the hierarchies who are often just observing those experiences and coming up with bought-and-paid-for spin. 

Can I prove the correlation between a nearby oil flare, radio tower and industrial farming chemicals and a cluster of cancer cases and autoimmune disorders around my family farm? More than likely not. But I know the correlation exists. 

Can I prove that it's unhealthy to live within 100 kilometres of one of three nuclear-armed-to-the-teeth United States Intercontinental Ballistic Missile armed forces sites? 

Can mothers having babies born with deformities and birth defects from Agent Orange exposure THEIR parents experienced 'prove' that correlation? 

Can we prove an environmental correlation between the toxic chemical cocktail in our air, water, soil, food, water and the cancer epidemic? Or with the rise in things like fibromyalgia, chronic fatigue, Alzheimer's, depression, ADHD? 

Can Native people with rare cancers in northern Alberta prove that it's exposure to the toxic oilsands causing it? 

Can we prove that it's the Corexit burning holes in people's skin in the Gulf of Mexico? 

Will people be able to prove that their health problems ten or twenty years from now are related to the Gulf disaster? 

Can people in Alaska, post-Exxon Valdez disaster? 

Am I able to prove to pharmaceuticals-brainwashed doctors or to the mainstream-science-worshipping public that my health problems are a result of a highly dangerous fluoroquinolone antibiotic that should not be prescribed for minor infections? Even with thousands, probably tens of thousands, of other people reporting the same adverse effects? 

To the stringent (ahem) scientific standards of the day, probably not. But it's getting more and more insane not to see the connections. Isn't it, Scorpio? And again, I'm reminded of the purposeful training of people to look to the "official authority figure" - whether it be government, science or the next New Age "voice of our times." It's all the same machine, keeping people controlled and in line, believing what they are told to believe. Keeping them within the false veneers of pyramid-scheme hierarchies and away from the authentic potency points we need to hit in order to truly shift this shitshow.

Uranus Rx Re-Enters Pisces Just in Time For More Neptunian Slumber

The Great Awakener (Uranus) certainly has its work cut out for it. I'm not sure even Jupiter Rx re-entering the mix September 8 can make the issues big enough to create any real, lasting lucidity at this tail-end Piscean era.

So many dark secrets twisted up in watery graves that most seem willing to allow, to keep buried, rather than bringing them to the surface and letting them do their catalytic work...

It's been five days since Matt Simmons was found dead in his Maine home (8/8/10), and the cleansing of the mainstream media of nasty details about the Gulf has been swift, simultaneous and very nearly complete.

On Friday, August 6, the United States Food and Drug Administration declared Gulf seafood safe to eat.

Then the reports started coming about Obama serving Gulf seafood at his birthday party to show people just how safe it really is. The date of the big birthday bash? August 8.

These announcements despite conclusive tainting of blue crab larvae with oil and despite the fact that tests done by Tulane University researchers have not even been completed to determine whether the larvae have also been tainted with Corexit.

But the tests don't really matter.

The trajectory was set. The orders came down.

Show's over, folks! Crisis averted. The well's capped. Tens of millions but more likely hundreds of millions of gallons of oil have miraculously disappeared. Two million gallons of Corexit are but a memory. Everyone can go home! It was all just a bad dream.

"There is no information at this time to indicate that they (dispersants) pose a public health threat from exposure through the consumption of seafood," says the FDA.

Simmons' death was overshadowed in mainstream media outlets by the death of former U.S. senator Ted Stevens in an Alaska airplane crash August 9. Like Simmons, Stevens had a connection to the Gulf catastrophe. Stevens was involved in a probe related to whistleblower information that BP was fully aware of cheating on blowout preventer tests conducted at oil wells they owned.

"Mike Mason, who worked on oil rigs in Alaska for 18 years, says that he observed cheating on blowout preventer tests at least 100 times, including on many wells owned by BP...

Mason was interviewed by the Alaska Oil and Gas Conservation Commission in 2005 during a probe into allegations that Nabors Drilling, a subcontractor to BP, falsified such tests, among other claims that BP failed to report blowouts at the massive Prudhoe Bay oil field. The probe was spurred by oil industry critic Charles Hamel, who forwarded his allegation to then-Senator Ted Stevens of Alaska."

Also interesting is the fact that Hamel had previously been spyed on by a Wackenhut security firm after his investigations into a BP-owned Alaska pipeline forced BP to spend $1 billion on safety-related improvements. Wackenhut was hired by the pipeline company that operated the pipeline for BP. Hamel won a lawsuit against the company as well as a full-page newspaper ad apology. Of that, Hamel said:

"These oil interests are very powerful - they will stop at nothing to stop you."

But roll on over now, darlings. Go back to sleep. Stuff your heads back in celebrity gossip and sports scores and shopping and Blackberries and your friend score on Facebook. That quiz on what chakra you are or which Muppet you're most like isn't exactly going to do itself. Pour your energy into ascension and love and light and New Earth and looking the other way. Nestle in and take a big old hit of ether for Mama. Just forget all about this whole mess. It's nothing you have to worry your pretty little heads over.

The relief within the collective that they've been let off the hook by mass media and government agencies and Mr. Obama, that they no longer have to concern themselves with the Gulf horror, is palpable.

You see how potent the media-driven Neptunian fog is at this tail-end Piscean era, how quickly people will latch back onto the teat as if nothing had ever happened to jolt them out of their haze. This much Neptunian delusion is most certainly toxic to the system(s). But it feels oh so good, oh so easy, after a long and drawn out confrontation with planetary reality.

A quick glance at the New Orleans daily paper online, the Times Picayune, and you would barely know the Gulf catastrophe even existed, let alone that it continues to this day. (To recap: they haven't capped the main gusher - just the one the public had its eyes trained on.)

"New Orleans Saints defense was less than stellar." "Man shot dead at apartment complex." "MTV Real World New Orleans episode review."

An advertisement for a Save the Gulf T-shirt is the only mention of the Gulf at all.

And now Obama is planning a trip to New Orleans August 29 for the anniversary of Hurricane Katrina. This Uranian-Neptunian character, designed and moulded just to divert and diffuse during these cross-over times, continues the spin. He'll put forth a big Leonine show of the King visiting his people, not forgetting them after their time of (purposefully-inflicted) tragedy. And with his carefully-crafted words, he will drop the veil on the Gulf.

And most will be more than willing to grab and pull and help it drop.

Lest we forget?

Lest we remember.

Uranus Rx re-enters Pisces tonight. It will re-enter Aries moving direct March 11, 2011.

8.8

Matt Simmons, the man who has been speaking out in the mainstream media about the true extent of BP's catastrophe in the Gulf, was found dead in his home on 8/8/10. It is being reported as an accidental drowning due to heart attack.

Simmons had spoken in the media since May about multiple oil leaks in the Gulf of Mexico, including the real gusher which is reported to be about 10 kilometres away from the much smaller leak on which BP and the media have been training the eyes of the public.

Simmons was highly recognized in the industry and owned a company (Simmons & Co.) that provided financial services to oil and gas firms, facilitating billions of dollars in mergers. He was well-connected to say the least - an energy advisor to George W. Bush and a member of the Council on Foreign Relations.

Simmons spoke out about the BP cover-up, calling it "the biggest environmental cover-up ever," as well as the attempted shifting of blame to Transocean. Simmons placed responsibility squarely on BP and said that the real cost of cleaning up the Gulf would cost well over a trillion dollars, bankrupting the company.

"Unfortunately, we now have killed the Gulf of Mexico."

Revelation 8:8 - The second angel blew his trumpet, and something like a great mountain, burning with fire, was thrown into the sea, and a third of the sea became blood.

Post-Eclipse Emotional Backdrop Transformations and What the Crab Can No Longer Deny

We're on the other side of the third set of eclipses on the Cancer/Capricorn polarity, which began in the Summer of 2009, and our underlying foundational emotional realities have officially shifted. What it means to call this planet home (however temporarily we call it that) has shifted.

Previously held safe havens - both physical and emotional - have evaporated into thin air. Bulldozed unceremoniously. Razed to the ground or poisoned beyond the point of being habitable.

With the Sun in late Cancer, we can see quite clearly (for those who wish to look) that the complete transformation of the energy of that sign is deeply underway, acted upon relentlessly by the unearthing of stark collective realities from the other end of the spectrum and Pluto in Capricorn.

As a Scorpio stellium in the 4th house, life taught me up to now that no matter what hell scenes existed around me and no matter how tumultuous my emotional reactions to those scenes, there was a safe haven deep inside me that was always there. I was always connected to it and all I had to do was go inside to feel it, know it. To know that I was connected to something much bigger than this single life on this planet.

And then I was slipped poison by the Nazis at Big Pharma. They penetrated that safe haven and attacked right to the core, right to that safe place where I could previously calm and still myself. And that place was turned into a nightmarish hell zone, reflecting exactly what was and is going on externally all over this planet.

This scene, I think, is indicative of a broader process going on. As Pluto razes and (hopefully) resurrects our entire structural reality on this planet over the next decade-and-a-half, the opposite sign of Cancer is inextricably linked to that process and will come out of the Plutonic alchemical fires no less changed.

The crab can only retreat so far - its natural inclination. At the point that the external threat penetrates it's shell, it's home, it's body, it's self, it must take action. Cancer is a cardinal sign after all. But a security-clinging cardinal sign. A sign that must be poked and prodded into action in a lot of ways. A sign that seems to only take action when it is absolutely forced to.

And its lack of action up until this point has been fully complicit with the horrors being wrought by the corrupt power structures around this planet.

Socially privileged parents living in safe, little bubbles. Believing, falsely, that the very act of producing their precious offspring warrants them safety and security somehow above and beyond the other members of this planet.

Maintaining the false understanding that the soldiers, the police, the governments, the rules, the banks, the money are "keeping them and their's safe." Protecting the sanctity of these nuclear family bubbles. Feathering the nests. Their Cancerian shells.

Or maybe not truly believing that, but going along with it all the same.

Happy to paint pictures with the kids, make mud pies in the yard, to shut out any unpleasantness, to keep it "out there."

While soldiers are killing, irradiating, and destroying the families of people in other parts of the world. Keeping them safe. While soldiers themselves are being killed, irradiated, destroyed "keeping them safe."

While more than 1,000 peaceful demonstrators in Toronto are brutalized, strip searched, strangled, mocked, threatened, tossed into unmarked vans and illegally detained by police for hours on end. Cordoned off by police officers and then illegally forced to provide identification and have their bags searched in order to leave the area. Lied to by police and city officials about supposed new rules that allow these breaches of the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms.

The "protected" obediently train their eyes on agents provocateur on the payroll to break windows and stage violence and light purposefully abandoned police cars on fire. They snuggle in with the kiddies in front of the telly as martial law "keeps them safe." They watch United States Marine Corps helicopters flying over Canadian airspace and feel all warm and fuzzy that they're being taken care of on all fronts.

Separating themselves from the mothers and fathers and grandmothers and grandfathers peacefully protesting the murderous tyranny of the world governments.

Separating themselves from the mothers giving birth to children deformed from exposure to depleted uranium or Agent Orange or any number of chemical weapons. Even when it's mothers in their own country. That's them. This is us.

Driving SUVs to and from soccer practises, art lessons, play dates, all the while cluck clucking and tsk tsking about what's going on in the Gulf.

Filling swimming pools and watering lawns to outdo neighbours and golfing every Saturday. While three billion people don't have enough clean water to drink to keep themselves healthy. While Palestinians are slowly being tortured by thirst.

Doesn't matter what Daddy (or Mummy) does from 9 to 5 every day as long as there is money to support this (slowly rotting) dream. Mortgage scams, Ponzi schemes, poisonous oil regimes, toxic pharmaceuticals companies, crooked stock markets. Doesn't matter who the employer is as long as the income keeps streaming in. No questions asked. As long as they get their two days off per week in their little bubbles, it doesn't matter a good Goddamn what goes on the other five days.

So very separated, so very detached. That's them. This is us.

A false protection offered them on a silver platter through the destruction of the sanctity of browner, blacker, poorer families all around the world.

The false Cancerian world of precious pure white babies, birthday parties with bouncy castles, designer strollers filled with bored-looking toddlers.

We all know Johnson & Johnson as the baby corporation. What most people probably don't know is that it produces the most heinous and toxic fluoroquinolone antibiotic, Levaquin. This drug has destroyed the lives of thousands of people now struggling to recover from complete systemic poisoning.

And yet, the mothers on the advertisements keep smiling down on their lovely little tots, scrubbed clean with No More Tears shampoo and Head-to-Toe baby wash.

No one can scrub this shit clean.

Toxic rains are being reported in Ohio and Tennessee and Miami.

Our home has been penetrated. Our Earth. Our selves.

It seems to me we should have moved on long ago. To the new spaces that full awareness bring. But the clinging, the holding, the denial has stopped us from that.

There is only so far Cancerian denial can take us. We're at the Do Not Pass Go point.

The natural inclinations, the natural rhythms have been purposefully, poisonously disrupted. Weather patterns are being manipulated and so are the underlying energetic patterns related to being a natural human being.

To continue as if nothing is amiss at this point becomes more and more insane.

We see the fishermen of the Gulf coast trying to keep their life rhythms, the only rhythms they've ever known. The rhythms ingrained through generations. And the farmers attempt the same thing.

We see Gulf fishermen going out to sea now, allowing themselves to be employed by devils who have destroyed their ways of life. And they're getting sick. Just as the clean-up crews of the Exxon Valdez spill got sick. Many later died.

BP has denied the clean-up workers respirators or full protective gear as it would be bad for PR. Ha. Add this to their crimes against humanity, just as the conspirators and perpetrators of 9/11 can add the sickness and deaths of thousands of rescue workers who breathed in toxic dust in New York City to their list.

And then there is the long-term social deterioration. The divorces, bankruptcies, suicides. Just ask the people along Prince William Sound, Alaska. Twenty-one years later, they are still bearing the brunt of it.

The rhythms are rapidly, unnaturally changing, and we must be aware of the full extent of it.

There's a deep primal knowledge trying to surface. We have to dig way down to find it. It's the thinnest of threads at this point, dragging us out of the muck but only if we hang on for dear life and follow its lead to a tee.

Accepting this mess is not easy - especially for those who have worked their entire lives to try to head this off. We didn't. We couldn't. And now we have to remember Plan B. We have to remember why we agreed to be here for this, what our end of the deal is. And complete it.

The Eclipse Hangover and Shifting Human Destiny

A dignified human existence. A dignified existence for living things. A planet restored to a natural balance and harmony, the way we know it can and should be.

The cellular soul memory of what once was. The deepest heart's knowledge of how it can be here, how it should be - redeemed, reinstated. Heaven on Earth. The pitch black falls away like a bad dream. Waking from our night terrors, together. We're not alone.

We know the score at this point. We know what has gone on and is going on in the Gulf. We're not burying our heads in the Gulf coast sand.

People are getting sick. Gulf coast refugees have started to move. Louisianan Kindra Arnesen is one of them - forced to relocate her family due to her daughter's rashes and upper respiratory problems since the disaster. Kindra got a backstage pass to the BP "ponies and balloons" show, and I encourage everyone to listen to what she has to say about what's going on.

Now, at this point, fully aware of the situation, we can work on visualizing a shift. We can apply our consciousness to a solution coming through so strongly that it unravels the knots of our helplessness, our grief, our anger, our depression. It releases the Gulf and all living things from the toxic spew, restoring things to a point of health and natural equilibrium.

We intend to manifest:

A fully restored, clean and clear Gulf of Mexico, including all coasts and marshes. A safe place for people, animals and plants to live. Clear water and restored oxygen levels for the Gulf and for the planet.

But hey, let's not stop there. Let's really flex our manifesting muscles and go for a clear and toxin-free world...

The health of the people fully restored.

Energy returned to those who have had it sapped by the activities of industry, commerce and warfare.

Natural, effective healing methods available and accessible to all.

A peaceful and effortless falling away of the power and control structures working to keep humanity enslaved.

World ecosystems allowed to come to a natural state of function and balance, free of manipulation.

Deep, all-encompassing healing and renewal for people, animals, plant life, the planet as a whole.

Peaceful, inter-relating societies around the world, working to solve our problems, free to apply our genius in practical, wise and far-sighted ways.

A grand-scale shift to clean, free energy, out of the death throes of the enforced Oil Age.

A better world is possible. Not just possible, but necessary for the further development of a humanity I wish to take part in.

A shift out of the paradigm of the lucky ones versus the sacrificed. Let's get this straight: No one wants to be sacrificed. No one should live a life of suffering so that others can elevate themselves with that suffering.

We do not accept the sacrifice of life on this planet. We do not accept attacks on our health, our quality of life or our well-being.

And now we start to move, start to shift...in earnest. We all work with the pieces we have to work with.

We can keep our heads above water here, above the malaise and the despair and the isolation that eats at the fabric of us, by understanding that we're here together, experiencing what we're experiencing.

Venus is in Leo right now, and our hearts are being stretched vigorously. At times, it feels as if there is nothing left to give. Overnight, we are being worked on, guided and stretched to go just a bit further. My chest is aching, as if it has been pried apart. I wake feeling as if I've had a bowling ball sitting on my breastbone all night.

This process has been ongoing. We all feel it should have been completed by now - way before now. We're in quadruple sudden death overtime, exhausted but trying to keep going. Because we've come this far. Too far to give up now. Streamed in from all over this universe, the most beautiful, diverse and loving lights it had to offer. The veterans. The experienced. The ones who keep motherfucking going. The ones who have the moves, the spins, the tricks. The souls that keep putting one foot in front of the other even when the physical self is exhausted, despairing, enervated by the sickness and the ridiculousness and the just plain wrongness of what is going on here.

The universe is playing it's A-game on this planet right now. And that's us. Don't you forget it.

Saturn heads to the anaretic degree of Virgo - the final degree of our self-mastery, heavily challenged. The point of the zodiac where all the pieces are finally fit into the whole, where all the details matter. Where everyone counts.

The health or non-health of the whole. Saturn at 29 Virgo.

This is not only the last degree of Virgo. It's the release point for an entire process of self-development, -discovery and -mastery represented by the first six signs of the zodiac, Aries through Virgo.

So you see why, at the end of this astrological Piscean era, we're fucking tired.

A lot of us were born tired.

But we're here now. We're here for now. So we dig in. We accept the weight of this moment, these times, as hard as it is. And we do what Daddy Saturn says.

We've got just over three weeks until Saturn enters Libra (July 21) and opposes Uranus for the last time, at zero Aries (July 26). Cycle upon cycle completes and begins simultaneously at that point, including a whole new 14-year Saturn cycle through the next six signs of the zodiac, Libra through Pisces. Our challenges then are to turn the self outward - to other people, to the world at large, to God. We start to reveal what we've been working on up to this point, to see how it interacts, to see how it measures up.

We lay ourselves and the self-mastery we've reached up to now on the offering stand at that point.

So let's make sure we're putting forth our best effort during this tail end of Saturn in Virgo, despite our aching exhaustion, our despair, our worries that what we do does not have an effect, anyway.

It all matters, even when we can't see how. This is a Saturn in Virgo lesson.

So let's visualize an Earth and an Earthly existence that truly befits us. That'll guide us home.

BP and Obama are "Trying Everything" - Except Anything Effective

Horror. That's what has descended on this beautiful little planet at the end of the astrological Piscean era. Dead dolphins and sea turtles are now washing ashore. Birds and other wildlife are mired in thick, toxic sludge. The people of the Gulf have had their hearts shattered, absolutely crushing soul-level blows. We all have - all loving, feeling human beings on this planet. We know.

And it's all going like clockwork for those who see the destruction of humanity and life on this planet as a stepping stone to bigger and better things on the interplanetary stage. Oh, aren't you all going to be shining stars for what you've done here. Let me give you a little golf clap.

For these forces, dusting off life on this planet is just one more thing on the To Do checklist. The End Times prophesies are being set off purposefully like dominoes. Flick. Flick.

What is blatantly clear is that we have the solutions to solve our problems. We have the expertise and means to stop the leaks in the Gulf and to clean up the oil in the water without the use of almost a million gallons of toxic chemical dispersant. We have the means to move beyond oil energy altogether and have for decades. All this was uneccessary. But we're being stopped from doing so. This horror is being allowed to happen - and it's being made worse by the actions of British Petroleum, with the United States government and its cohorts complicit.

Nick Pozzi is a Houston-based engineer who oversaw the clean-up of an 800-million gallon oil spill in Saudi Arabia in 1993. Pozzi says that 85% of the spilled oil was recovered in that clean-up operation. He presented the solution they used then - deploying supertankers to vacuum the oil from the ocean, both from the surface and deep below - to British Petroleum and the Coast Guard and was summarily dismissed.

Pozzi has even been on Fox News talking about it. ABC News has reported on BP withholding information in the early days of the leak about how bad it really was. This is all hitting the mainstream media.

There's more in this article by Yobie Benjamin of the San Francisco Chronicle.

So Obama claiming they're "trying everything"? Nope. They're trying everything ineffective. Big difference. British Petroleum is "solving things" by pumping more toxic chemicals into the sea - the dispersant Corexit, which has been banned in Britain for a decade. The use of dispersant does nothing to clean up the oil and actually makes things worse by dispersing it and adding another toxic chemical into the mix.

Here's some news video showing the problem underwater, exacerbated hugely by the use of dispersants: BP Oilpocalypse Creates Underwater Nightmare

There's also a new report that Transocean toolpush Jason Anderson was extremely worried about BP's safety practises and voiced his concerns to his wife Shelly. He was so worried, in fact, that the last time he was home, he got his affairs in order and wrote his will. He was one of the 11 men killed.

So these pseudo-leader middlemen are stirring as much dark, tortured energy as they can, all over the globe. It's a timed conjuring, harvesting and consolidation of the most anguished vibes on this planet, gathering them together for one last push. Trying to kill the loving creation spirit.

They've already lost the war. We've won - if only spiritually. But they're rallying the dark and dangerous for one last hurrah. Maybe it's like a kid who is losing a game of checkers and dumps the game off the table just before the defeat. He knows he's losing, so he decides to just destroy the game altogether?

I'm really not sure. How could any sane human beings really wrap their heads around something this twisted and sickening? Their rules of the game are completely opposite our's. That doesn't go far enough - they're not even in the same universe.

There seems to be a view that this planet - specifically the destruction of humanity and life on this planet - is a sort of stepping stone to what comes next for these sick buggers. They seem to believe that bringing about the destruction is a necessary ramping up of energy to give them blast-off or attract the attention of their dark allied forces. It all dovetails so nicely with the Christian fundamentalist End Times prophesies where utter destruction is the only thing that brings Jesus back to the planet so all the true believers can ascend to wherever the fuck they think they're going. Sick convergences going on.

And they've got that hot little cougar number to rally the troops on this front - bringing political and religious fundamentalism together. It doesn't matter what tripe comes out of Sarah Palin's mouth. Frat boys want to fuck her. And as long as dudes want to fuck her, she's got them by the balls. They'll follow wheresoever she leads. Drill, baby, drill, indeed.

Canadian Prime Minister Stephen Harper is now wooing the Christian fundies, as well. Harper's NWO-driven vision of my country's future goes from insane to insaner. Hey, they're all on the same page here. Might as well hop into bed together.

I've noticed an almost euphoria among these so-called leaders around this event. As if they're holding back giddiness, covering it with looks of false concern for the cameras. Stevie Harper's getting really good at it. He's taking his training well.

On the mundane level, there is a massive attack on DNA going on - both individually and for the planet. A depopulation scheme, a redistribution scheme. I'm not sure. It's about control, and there's something in Louisiana, specifically, that they want to take over.

Then there is the destruction of a primary industry - fishing. Fishing is an ancient, cyclical, energetic act. Going out with the tides, bringing the harvest in. It's activity based on the seasons, the sun, the moon, the tides, earth energy. Like farming, another industry under attack by the corpo-governmental oligarchy, fishing holds the energy of a certain natural, Earth-based wisdom. The act of fishing reinforces it. The movement creates crucial connection points, a rootedness. The fishermen who go out to sea and come back in, out to sea and come back in strengthen these threads or links to Earth-based living.

What is being allowed to happen in the Gulf further destroys our control over our food supply. Attacking primary industry - like fishing, like farming - is attacking the lifeblood, attacking the backbone of human society.

Ceres conjunct Pluto in Capricorn.

So they're really hitting us where it hurts here. We know that. And they're hitting where it will hurt all of us (Chiron in Pisces). But I suppose this is what it takes. As long as it's just a percentage of the population suffering, the majority seems to be OK with letting things slide. Now, even the comfortable and privileged are forced to understand. When it starts directly affecting them and their's, they start to get it. I wish it could have been another way.

Regardless, we're here now, and we have to stay clear, stay focused. There are responsibilities we have as human beings living on planet Earth in these times, and we have crucial influence and effect. Don't fall for it. Don't make yourselves powerless. Draw in and draw on the strength of the good and loving people around you. There are still so many good people in this world who care. Draw on God, source, creator, the love that flows through you every day, come what may.

I think what we can do is bear witness. We can write, talk, share, connect, get clear on what's going on and on who's doing what.

For those of us who do energy work, we can help the tortured energies being stirred pass right off this planet by getting to and understanding the roots, understanding what has been brought down in the past. Evacuation of souls. We can look at the pain and misery that is being held here on this planet and by truly understanding, we can release it before it is ensnared again and manipulated into causing more destruction.

We can have compassion while staying in our detached little Aquarian zones. And we can change things.

Things didn't go the way we wanted them to, but as Saturn finishes its transit in Virgo, we come to the mustering point. We draw together now, gather strength and cross the finish line. From there, it's a whole new checkerboard.

I Say Your Anus, You Say Urinous

I say ecological apocalypse, you say...uhh...ecological apocalypse.

Basically, we're going to have to smooth out our superficial differences here (as long as they are, indeed, superficial) because no one is going to be able to go this one alone, especially after Saturn re-enters Libra July 21.

Finding the Aquarian tribe where we really and truly fit, rough spots, sharp edges and all, will be paramount.

We have a Full Moon in Sagittarius tomorrow marking the point at which Uranus enters Aries (7:44 p.m. MT). New tribes coming into being.

Uranus entering Aries is an important astrological indicator - the scales have now been tipped from tail-end Piscean era to very-beginning Aquarian, and the direction we take from this point on pretty much determines how the next 2,000+ years are going to go on this planet.

Aries is the first sign of the zodiac, and the zero degree of Aries is a potent birth point degree out of a previous cycle. For seven years now, the mutual reception of Uranus and Neptune has marked a tightly interwoven transition time and overlap between the tail-end of the astrological Piscean era and the beginning of the Aquarian. Now, Uranus enters the zero degree of Aries and marks the earliest birth point indicator of this Aquarian era.

This is a grand-scale, multi-layered birth - out of the 2,000+ year astrological Piscean Age - and it's going to be just as raw and primal a birth as you would imagine. We've used every last bit of energy to take it this far, and now we move forward out of sheer will and a desire to see what sort of action will be catalyzed from our efforts...

Uranus in Aries starts fully vibing with its square to Pluto in Capricorn tomorrow night after the ingress, and we already see the effects of this square everywhere. People have had enough. We've had it up to here. We've been pushed up against a wall on almost all fronts. We've had our very survival on this planet toyed with by some seriously sick bastards, like a cat playing with a mouse. As Tommy Douglas said, it doesn't matter if it's the White Cats or the Black Cats ruling Mouseland - it's all the same, sick little game. That ends now.

As the nefarious Pluto in Capricornian agencies and individuals tighten the screws on their pyramid-scheme hierarchical structures and try to lock them into place, human beings are forced to take action if what they truly desire is freedom and soul-sovereignty.

Yeah, we know what these fuckers did. And we know what they're doing now.

The rage of injustice, the brutal, purposefully-inflicted hurt - this is our fuel now. This is our guiding edge. There's no pussy-footing around.

There is no power that can overcome the love we're connected to, aligned with. It works through us. It flows like water through every fibre. It is us, and we are it - connected to every sterling-charactered soul that has come before us, crossing their own etheric finish lines with their own last ounces of energy - just as we're doing now. Connected to every loving human being that is now and that will be in the future. That we are.

And the grit and the mud we've dragged ourselves through. The grit and mud we've purged from our bodies, our selves. The shackles we've broken. The taste of blood in our mouths.

We all push it just a little further, and Saturn in Virgo, stationing direct for its last sweep through that sign for almost 30 years, is proud.

Still, we're not quite there yet. So use this spring and summer as a potent directional seeding point in your life. Get excited, yes. But don't get too carried away with the active/yang/masculine.

Both Uranus and Jupiter are dipping into Aries for two to three months - just to give us a taste. Then, they will fall back into the last degrees of Pisces again. Uranus retrogrades back into Pisces August 13 and Jupiter does September 8. They will enter Aries for good in January (Jupiter) and March (Uranus) 2011.

As you can see, we've got quite a lot of work to do to bring this astrological Piscean Age to a successful and dignified close, mastering its lessons so that we aren't doomed to repeat previous mistakes and cycles.

We're going to need all that Uranian genius to deal with the problems we've got going on on this planet - not least of which is the absolute ecological catastrophe going on in the Gulf of Mexico.

The new word on that front is that this may not be simply an oil gusher - it's possible that an undersea volcano has been ruptured, unleashing all kinds of additional toxicity into the ocean.

This is on top of the 700,000 and counting gallons of chemical dispersant the brainiacs at British Petroleum have now pumped into the Gulf. Using this dispersant does absolutely nothing to clean up the oil or stop the gushing. In fact, it actually makes the problem worse because it breaks the oil up into tiny bits that do not rise to the surface and therefore, cannot be cleaned up - not to mention introducing massive quantities of a toxic chemical foreign to this ecosystem.

The dispersant BP is using is called Corexit (how fitting) and has been banned in Britain for a decade but is still being used in Canada and the United States.

From U.S. Rep. Edward J. Markey in an article from the New York Times:

"Despite the assertions made by BP that dispersants can be safely used, we know almost nothing about the potential harm from the long-term use of any of these chemicals on the marine environment in the Gulf of Mexico, and even less about their potential to enter the food chain and ultimately harm humans.”

British Petroleum has disregarded orders from the United States Environmental Protection Agency to stop using Corexit, and we see so clearly the climate we're living in. It's a Pluto in Capricorn dystopia where Big Business does as it damn well pleases, using government regulations as mere guidelines that can be rejected at their discretion as they continue the destruction.

"Last Wednesday, the federal agency ordered BP to propose one or more alternative dispersants to regulators within 24 hours. Then it gave the company 72 hours after that deadline to stop using Corexit and make a switch. Officials and scientists from the E.P.A. and the oil company met Sunday night and were apparently unable to reach a compromise before the deadline passed.

“We are continuing to use Corexit while we’re still working with E.P.A. on alternatives,” said Mark Salt, a spokesman for the oil company, said by telephone from Texas on Monday."

Still "working with the E.P.A on alternatives", eh?

Ceres Rx in early Capricorn, conjunct Pluto, has tapped some people on the shoulder, reminding them that the simplest and most natural solutions are always the best. Hay can be used to absorb oil, then dried and burned as an energy source. There are a lot of people talking on the internet about this.

People are thinking and talking about the situation in the Gulf far and wide - including in my home area of southeast Saskatchewan, which has not exactly been a hotbed of socioplitical activity since I've been alive. *ahem* So that's a good sign.

Mercury leaves its retrograde shadow at 12 degrees Taurus early on Friday, May 28, so let's see what concrete, practical, Taurean solutions come out of that.

It would be nice if it didn't take the absolute catastrophic crisis point to catalyze this type of interconnection and pulling together to solve our problems, but, for now, I'll take it. (Although, isn't it ridiculously horrifying that it takes something this fucking bad for people to twig to any kind of Piscean understanding of energetic inter-relatedness on this planet - that what affects one living thing really does affect all living things?)

It's true that we're not exactly dealing with ideal circumstances here. I was hoping for a very different planetary scenario to start this astrological Aquarian Age off, and I was pouring my heart and soul into bringing about that desired scenario. A lot of us were. But there was a sudden change in direction that we could not have foreseen. The bottom dropped out in a lot of ways.

And that's OK. Now we adjust to this new direction. We figure out, together, what it means, and we explore the different scenarios and possibilities. I really feel that they'll be even more exciting and inspiring and empowering and freeing than the previous ones we held in our hearts.

Something I'm hearing echoed lately is that it's too late, it's too late.

I don't think so at all. When you get right down to it, we're still doing what we came here to do. We're vital, crucial. Every day counts now, and things are just getting started in a lot of ways.

So let me just shift gears on this little blog, and away we go...



Uranus enters Aries tomorrow night (7:44 p.m.)
Mercury leaves its retrograde shadow in Taurus May 28.
Saturn goes direct at 27 Virgo May 30.
Neptune goes retrograde at 28 Aquarius May 31.
Jupiter enters Aries June 6.
Mars leaves Leo for Virgo after almost eight months June 7.
Jupiter and Uranus conjunct at zero degrees on June 8.
Mercury enters Gemini, post-retrograde in Taurus, June 9.

How Much Oil Has Really Leaked Into the Gulf?

British Petroleum has now inserted a tube into the broken pipe at the bottom of the Gulf of Mexico in their latest attempt to stem the flow of oil coming from their damaged deepwater oil operation. BP says this tube is now diverting about 1,000 barrels of oil per day. A drop in the bucket.

The estimates of how many gallons of oil have really spewed into the Gulf of Mexico are wildly variable. PBS has come up with the widget above where you can adjust the flow rate and see just what we could be dealing with here. Mind-boggling doesn't even begin to describe it.

BP themselves told U.S. Congress that as many as 60,000 barrels of oil could be escaping per day, not the 5,000-barrel estimate initially used. This would mean 2.5 million gallons per day or about 70 million gallons since the explosion happened, completely dwarfing the Exxon Valdez spill in 1989 in Alaska (10.8 million gallons). The affected beaches in Alaska still smell like a gas station 21 years later. The ecosystem has not recovered, nor have fishermen recovered their livelihoods in this area.

Other experts in the field estimate a worst-case scenario of as many as 4.2 million gallons per day, jacking the number up to over 100 million gallons.

Putting this in perspective, according to engineer Paul Noel, it takes only one quart of motor oil to make 250,000 gallons of ocean water toxic to wildlife.

The media is pretty much mum while world leadership sits back doing jack shit as the ecosystem and food chain are poisoned...

Where is our leadership here?

The enormity of this event is slowly tugging at the ancient water knowledge within the bodies and souls of every human being who still has a hint of this understanding. The Piscean energy has been forced to teach its master lessons on energetic connection in this way, and I really wish it weren't the case.

En masse, we can't seem to get beyond trauma-based evolution - a big part of that being pseudo-leadership that profits from misery and destruction, leading us directly into these disasters. There is no pro-activity - just irresonsible situation after irresponsible situation being forced to inevitable conclusions.

New Moon in Taurus After All Day in the Dark and Broken Record Time

The Moon and Sun come together at 23 degrees Taurus tonight and we have a New Moon (7:04 p.m. MT) after spending all day in the Dark of the Moon. And boy, do we ever need some renewal with this earthiest of earth signs.

This New Moon in Taurus is square Neptune in Aquarius and hearkens back to this time last year when the personal planets in Taurus were squaring the uber over-hyped "triple Aquarius conjunction."

I was talking then about the dangers of getting caught up in intoxicating Neptunian illusions related to the future, technology and the "Aquarian Era" and overlooking the practical fundamentals of life on Planet Earth. With Jupiter involved, over-reaching on this front and blowing "the promise of the future" way out of proportion was recipe for wounding and devastation (Chiron).

And as Chiron dips into the zero degree of Pisces and Uranus bookend transits the final degree of the sign, we have a gaping reminder of these dynamics - and the massive failure in successfully dealing with the requirements of physical, Earthly reality - with the gushing hole at the bottom of the Gulf of Mexico still spewing 200,000 gallons of oil per day into the sea. Pisces is associated with both oil and oceans.

In a hearing being conducted by the United States Coast Guard and the governmental Minerals Management Service in Kenner, Louisiana, Coast Guard Lt. Cmdr. Michael Odom testified May 12 that the type of deepwater offshore oil drilling being conducted by companies like British Petroleum is basically unregulated.

"Odom said many of the regulations are based on near-shore operations and are not providing the best guidance for the latest deepwater systems.

"The pace of the technology has definitely outrun the current regulations," Odom said."

In another thumbs up to the awesomeness of globalization, because the deepwater oil rig was flying a foreign flag, governmental agencies could not certify the materials the pipes and rig were built with or the blowout preventers that could have potentially stopped the disaster from happening.

"Like the Minerals Management Service, the U.S. Coast Guard inspects vessels, including drilling rigs, checking the non-drilling related systems on board. It's control over Deepwater Horizon was somewhat limited because it flew the flag of the Republic of the Marshall Islands, and foreign flag states have some monitoring using a non-governmental group of inspectors called a "classification society."

Summing up the situation as far as safety regulation, Coast Guard Captain Hung Nguyen said, "We have self-certification of critical equipment and safety notices that are not enforceable..."

This leaves the companies to declare their own operations safe - highly inadvisable considering BP's record on this front.

In a fit of black hilarity, BP executives were actually on board the Deepwater Horizon celebrating the project's safety record when the explosion happened. They escaped unharmed, but nine rig crew and two engineers died in the explosion, which is being reported as having been caused by a massive methane bubble.

British Petroleum's first scrambling-after-the-fact attempt at containing the flow of oil was building a huge coffer dam (dome) and then lowering it to the sea floor to place over the spewing pipe. That attempt failed when the coffer dam became clogged with sea crystals, and now they are planning to lower a smaller coffer dam in the next few days. Basically, there is no protocol for this. This type of deepwater offshore oil drilling is going on without any sort of plan for a worst case scenario disaster like the one now going on.

As online commenter Leonard33 puts it:

"It would be an exciting time to be a BP engineer. Any cockamamie idea is probably given full consideration. Maybe a giant diaper could be placed over the leak -- new diapers are remarkably absorbent."

Executives from BP, the oil services company Halliburton and the rig operator Transocean have now been called before the U.S. Senate Energy and Natural Resources Committee and are all pointing their fingers at each other. Side-stepping responsibility on all fronts is the name of the game. Shifty, shady Pluto in Capricorn.

It's a broken record, but these are the master Piscean lessons. Twenty-ninth degree stuff being triggered by the neglect of duty and responsibility with this sign from the very get-go, from the very first degree of the sign of Pisces (Chiron on zero Pisces).

We don't move forward successfully into Aquarius without mastering this, or at the very least doing a whole hell of a lot better job with it, and collectively, there is still a massive amount of work to do here. That's putting it mildly.

Let's recall that Chiron will be in Pisces for the first eight years of the official astrological Aquarian Age. Not dealing with these Piscean themes and using this wisdom and understanding as a guiding mechanism for our decisions puts every living thing on this planet at risk. That's not fearmongering. That's fact. We see this reflected in this initial Chiron in Pisces event - the gushing oil leak in the Gulf. This isn't just a problem for Louisiana or Mississippi or Florida. This is a problem that has the potential to destroy the world's oceans altogether. And we've got 16 more operations, more than likely just as shoddy and slap-dash and unregulated, currently drilling at depths below 5,000 feet in the Gulf...

It's broken record astrological dynamics we're dealing with currently, also. (You see why the old souls are so fed up?)

This year, instead of the triple Aquarius conjunction, it's the hyping of the "Cardinal Climax" and overemphasis on the dynamic, masculine, yang energy with so many people already looking ahead to Uranus in Aries.

Well, folks, we've got a whole heaping pile of problems with the 12th sign of the zodiac - the sign most prefer to ignore and keep invisible. Uranus may be dipping into Aries for a couple months, but it's back at this degree of Pisces (the Gulf degree) mid-August and stays in late Pisces all the way until March 2011. Jupiter Rx will also conjunct Uranus Rx at 28 Pisces in September.

Believe me, getting too caught up in Jupiter conjunct Aries (June 8) is not wise. We're not staying there (neither Jupiter nor Uranus is), and the outpouring of excitement this aspect will generate in people who don't understand the retrograding action cannot be spared at this time as wasted energy.

Jupiter conjunct Uranus at zero Aries is significant, yes. It's an official Aquarian Era marker and a potent seed time. What happens now and over the next five years as Uranus and Pluto repeatedly square off is the make or break. It's a very pivotal time, direction-wise.

But just take a quick look back at all the neglected, unresolved Piscean Era problems we're collectively trying to drag along with us. Neptune, Uranus and Jupiter are all going retrograde this spring/summer to help us do just that. None of this cardinal square stuff is coming up out of the blue. We've been working on all this for a good, long while now.

Just like last year at this time, we've got the Sun and Mercury in Taurus - grounded, real, physical reality - and we can no longer stuff this down into the collective subconscious. At the tail-end of the tail-end astrological Piscean Era, the collective subconscious is plumb full. It's stocked. It's overflowing. And we see it overflowing in that three million gallons of oil (and counting) advancing on the Gulf Coast shores.

The travesties being committed by irresponsible Pluto in Capricornian agencies are coming out into concrete physical reality, with help from Mercury and the Sun in Taurus and Saturn in Virgo, where no one can deny them. Pushing up to the surface, just like that oil is, despite all attempts to hide the extent of the damage by dispersing it with chemicals or burning it off.

We've just had a challenging Mercury retrograde period in Taurus trying to reinforce these very issues.

And looking back to last spring, the planets and the dynamics and themes they're indicating are almost a mirror image.

At that time we were experiencing a Mercury retrograde in Taurus while the personal planets in Taurus squared Jupiter-Chiron-Neptune in Aquarius. Pluto was in early Capricorn and Saturn was stationing direct in Virgo, just as it is now.

From the Saturn in Virgo Direct post in May 2009:

"We're meant to take the vision out of the realm of rhetoric and live it. To take it out of the hands of criminal so-called leaders, disconnect from their version of the future, and determine what it really means to us personally.

This is the radical Aquarian break. The line we draw in the sand. Where we take back the "revolution," the "vision," the "future" from those who have co-opted these terms and used them against us. This is where we say enough is enough and demand real freedom, for everyone. To live with that goal at the forefront. This is where we are no longer willing to accept the version of false freedom that is packaged and sold to us. This is where we wrestle our intellectual independence away from the people and institutions that corrupt it.

Or we choose to go along with it. It's a personal choice each individual has to make.

Revolution is a trendy word these days, used by advertisers to sell cars and body spray. Self-declared visionaries run around, a new one every day, it seems, trying to get people on board their particular vision and version of the future.

This is why the use of personal discernment and judgement required by Saturn in Virgo is so important right now. Define these things for yourself.

Cut away the noise and excess. Pare down to what is basic, simple, necessary, meaningful, real to you in your life. The more we sever ties to toxic structures and energy dynamics, the better we feel. Refuse to play the game. Reconnect with simple pleasures and the appreciation you have for what is real and good in your life. Guard that carefully.

It's important that we have our feet planted firmly on the ground now, stripping away falsity to more fully understand the conditions we are working with.

If we don't personally make the choice regarding which version of the "future vision" we wish to bring about, the choice is made for us...

Taurus is a sign rooted to Earth. It's the sign where we commit to making progress in the physical realm. Slow, methodical, sure-footed progress. In Taurus we lay a solid foundation - one that will physically support our grand dreams and goals.

Taurus knows that what is really valuable doesn't just miraculously come into existence. There is effort involved to bring about the quality of physical life it desires. Taurus is a fixed sign, and once it gets going, it wants to keep going. There is nothing it dislikes more than shoddy workmanship. It doesn't want to go back over a crappy job later on. It wants to do things right the first time, and it's willing to put the time and effort into things initially to make sure things are on a solid footing. No movement unless it's the right movement...

We must determine what is required from us in the here and now, in our conscious moment, and take the next step. Taking even the smallest of concrete steps, when we know it's right. Enduring through resistance. Severing ties to anything that does not truly reflect our personal values. This is how the widescale change gets it's legs and digs in in a way that is going to be meaningful over the long run.

So our vision is coming into check by physical-reality-based circumstances. And some fucked up physical-reality-based circumstances they are.

At the same time, the Aquarian part of the square ensures that we push for our preferred future as we see it. Our freedom is at stake. We can't get bogged down in tradition and history (Taurus) and talk ourselves out of what is possible. We know we're in new territory, creating something that hasn't previously existed, and we have to maintain the integrity of that vision."

So yeah. There we have it. It's make or break time.

Our so-called leadership has failed us - politically, socially, spiritually. It has been corrupted in the most egregious manner. We have no leaders among the current crop.

And so we're our own leaders.

Again, I would urge you to give up driving or to drive only when absolutely necessary, with due respect and reverence. Those aren't just dinosaur bodies you're fuelling up with. ;-) Share a car. Start a mini car co-op with family or friends. Just do something small to lessen the pressure on this situation.

It really feels as if those of a certain sensitivity and awareness and spiritual understanding/lineage are hanging by a thread. The situation on this planet, at times, feels at the brink of untenable, and that saddens and scares me. I want the spiritual lineages I know, love and respect to continue on this planet, to carry forward. I don't want people (or animals or plants) who are among the last of their kind being driven to extinction. This is a difficult subject to really delineate, but perhaps those reading know what I mean here. We're all hoping for the best, but it's not enough to hope. Every last decision, action, word seem to count now.
