A preponderance of planets is moving through the earth signs these days, creating ample opportunity to bring order and rhythm into our lives. We may be witnessing a miracle, or many miracles, in the near future.

Here are a few items to ponder. Pluto transits through Capricorn from 2008 to 2023, and then through Aquarius until 2044. Capricorn is the sign of all governmental agencies, since it is the sign most associated with power and control. Those who hold on to power and fiercely resist change will be the most affected by what is to come. In the past, we could build war machines, and march off and destroy other human beings who, in their fear, were doing the same thing for God, country, and family.

Anybody out there lost anyone due to this phenomenon? Anyone out there ever had their land, rights, or freedom taken away? We all point a finger at each other. Well, regardless of who took what from whom, we’re all stuck on dear old planet Earth, and it’s about time we learned to get along. Otherwise, we should prepare to continue down this dreary path of resentment, racism, violence, and greed.

Now the stars are helping to throw light on the situation and expose the festering pockets of dying energy. The will of the people will speak loudly, and there is no place to hide. Within a few years, we will see massive changes around the world. Pluto’s visit to Aquarius starting in 2023 will bring about great surges of humanitarianism, and this may yet become a global village where we all breathe and live as one.

We are one—one people on one planet, and until the last soul is free we will not rest. The great Aquarius spirit is awakening and the movement has already started. Love your brother, love your sister—this is the message presently singing out from the stars as Neptune, the planet of compassion and forgiveness, moves through Aquarius. Uranus, which rules Aquarius, is moving through Pisces and is another sign of love and compassion pouring out to the suffering souls.

This isn’t a time to live off the fat, but a time to give back and share what you have. Are we not worthy of this task? Are we that blinded by greed that we allow members of our society to suffer as we point the finger elsewhere? Please forgive me and I will forgive thee. Let’s get on with the work at hand.
