Our Deepest Fear (Part 1) |
| As I interpret the Course [in Miracles ], "our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness, that most frightens us." We ask ourselves, Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous? Actually, who are you NOT to be? |

| THE CHALLENGING TRANSITS OF AUTUMN 2007 How to Survive Them And Prosper By Theodore White, classical scientific astrologer Published/August 2007 The coming transits of Autumn 2007 will be challenging for much of the world. Global transits show there are major global events just ahead that will test the resolve, and patience of tens of millions of people. I urge everyone reading this to take the time to plan for making any positive changes that they can, and to bring to an end any conventional barriers which may have acted as barriers towards making progress. These global transits will be difficult for most this coming fall season ~ particularly as Saturn is rising and will be Lord of the months of October & November, with strong influences into December. The autumn season will be very rough, and will lead to a muted holiday season by December. Those who can read an ephemeris will know that using the time now in late August, and the month of September 2007 well can forestall, and neutralize much of the later influences to come in October, November and December. Those who are able to make re-adjustments, are able to network with people of positive common interests, and who can be practical, and reliable, will be able to survive this fall season's transit in the northern hemisphere. According to my calculations, times are changing, and we are heading into a new era that precedes the coming of the next decade of the 2010s. With Pallas now retrograde in Pisces, and contra-parallel to Uranus, while both near to the transiting North Lunar Node in Pisces ~ use this time to prepare for the next six-to-seven years overall. Doing so will save much time, energy, and in some cases, lives. It is essential to use the remainder of 2007, and early 2008 to realign one's economic and financial situations, so that by the end of 2008, and into 2009, new directions chosen will have been taken that, if applied well, will do much to counter the negative economic transits of the mid-2010s in the coming next decade. A Rough Fall Season Ahead If you look at the New Moon transit for September 2007 for the east coast, NY, and Washington, you'll see that Mars is on the MC in Gemini and is situated between tow fixed stars ~ ALDEBERAN AND BELLATRIX. Transiting Mars will be moving toward conjunction with BETELGEUSE, situated at 28-GEMINI. Applying Placidus Houses, the MC for the September 2007 New Moon is conjoined to BELLATRIX ~ a negative event will take place, worldwide news in the fall season months of September, October, November, and December 2007. In summer 2007, we've seen some interesting transits of planets conjoined to what are called the four (4) Royal Stars -- Venus/Saturn - conjoined to fixed star Regulus (Watcher of the North) Jupiter - conjoined to fixed star Antares (Watcher of the West) Mars - conjoined to fixed star Aldeberan (Watcher of the East) Moon/Dragon's Head - Aug. 28, 2007 lunar eclipse - conjoined to fixed star Fomalhaut (Watcher of the South) The planetary conjunctions to the four Royal stars forecasts a powerful series of world events over the next several months that continue into the year 2008. The outlet fixed star conjunction is that of the Moon and transiting North Lunar Node in tropical Pisces, where we find the "watcher of the south" ~ the star Fomalhaut. We can expect events along the lines of this fixed star to take place, which includes, among other events, seismic activity, large magnitude earthquakes where the lunar eclipse was seen, and major events taking place on the world's oceans, involving large ships and sea-going vessels. Looking at the world transits of October, November, and December, one can see how the stakes are rising. It will be a combination of events taking place around the world, with the Middle East, Iraq, and Iran, highlighted. HIGHLIGHTED: War news - escalations, societal stress, pitched battles Economic - destabilizations, setbacks, re-adjustments, corruption news Culture - stresses, seperations, pressures, dark moods, mental health issues, depressions Climate/Weather - anomalous events, droughts, heavy rains, floods, oppressive heat and sudden cool downs The autumn months will reflect Saturn's coming influences with its ingress into tropical Virgo in early September. The generation born in 1979/1980/1981 are about to experience their first Saturn Returns. This coming fall season's weather will be dark, cloudy, wet and cold, reflecting Saturn's building influences as it rises ahead of the Sun. Grey skies, and a depressive climate conditions will prevail in October and November, leading to a toned-down holiday season in December. It is advised to take the time in late August & September to install bright white (not yellow) lighting to use to counter the coming darker climate conditions in the Northern Hemisphere this year. Saturn's influence is stronger with pale-yellow lights. Avoid this kind of indoor lighting. Expect to witness a steep rise in depressive reactions (Saturn's influence) among people because of the poor climate conditions of October & November. Global Transits Heat Up Transiting Mars retrograde, especially in Gemini, and near to the constellation Orion indicates a sharp rise in military events. We will see heightening tensions that are the combined results of the failures of a certain generation to restrain itself ~ epecially under these transits. However, those in power rarely listen to the guidance of those who are able to read and intepret transits. Nonetheless, the transits will arrive ~ and as always ~ on time. Moreover, the battles highlighted by the present and onging Mars/Jupiter opposition and the coming Mars retrograde in November, and re-emergence into tropical Gemini on Dec. 31, 2007, indicates stressful, and violent events. A major military escalation is highlighted by these transits. I have no doubt that the U.S. will become involved in another major war with a new nation heading into early 2008. SATURN, VENUS, VIRGO AND THE DRAGON'S TAIL We also see transiting Saturn hovering very close to the Dragon's Tail in tropical Virgo for all of the fall season and into the winter of 2008. This is another sign of malefic global events starting next month (September) and continuing into early 2008. Saturn's hovering around the South Lunar Node in early Virgo has very strong influences for the world. It is wholly malefic, and during the third week of October 2007, Venus & Saturn conjoin for the third (and last) time in four (4) months in the month of October ~ with the Dragon's Tail. This is a negative conjunction, and I would urge caution in travel, relationships, and major decisions at this time. For women, it is important to take the time to guard oneself physically and emotionally, without attracting violence to oneself. The Venus/Saturn conjunction conjoined to the Dragon's Tail does not bode well for personal relationships. Note that Mars will have entered tropical Cancer at the end of Sept. '07 and will hover here for months before turning retrograde mid-Nov. '07. This again highlightes personal relationships. It is best to avoid arguments; especially over money, economics, relationships, etc., considering the recent credit crunch, the severe downturns in the housing markets, and the increasing foreclosures nationwide. Jupiter in Sagittagius has driven prices up. Saturn's entry into Virgo will drive prices down, to bargain basement levels, but with a price, as mundane transits indicate a period of rough economic times during the fall of 2007 and into 2008. Families are hurting financially. It is important at this time heading into the fall and winter seasons to network with others, and to be of help by combining resources and being of assistance to those in need. The best way to neutralize this fall's transits is to prepare to navigate them in advance without resorting to inflicting, or, taking part in personal projections onto others, personal/professional dramas which Saturn can crystalize into reality ~ which can turn into violent confrontations that can change destinies. Rather, better to navigate these transits with a low-profile, calm, and orderly outlook towards the coming new era that starts in mid-December 2007, and picks up speed in January 2008. Those who take the time to prepare for 2008's transits now, will be better positioned to deal with the developing and fast-paced events that take place from 2008 to 2011. Use the coming benevolent Venus-Jupiter conjunction on Jan. 31-Feb. 1, 2008 as a "transit marker" to have professional and personal plans & projects completed to open the special year of 2008 with new opportunities that will have included moving to new cities, and starting new careers, relationships, etc., after the wild and rocky year that 2007 will have become. While at the mundane level, Venus represents society, and the conjunction to Saturn & the South Lunar Node in early Virgo reflects the general depressive tone of this particular season highlighted by the September eclipse at 18-Virgo. It also reflects the coming Saturn-Uranus opposition piting the old against the new ~ conservative (Saturn) against the radical (Uranus). Saturn is moving out of its year-long opposition to Neptune, and preparing for its long-running opposition to Uranus in the years 2008-2011, as well as its coming earth trine to Jupiter (2008) and then opposition to Jupiter (2010-11). This indicates a major shifting of the general public's sense of rights and wrongs, and a serious turn of events in the public's mood as well. With 2008 being an election year ~ things are about to get very nasty, according to these mundane transit. In effect, people are pissed, and the world transits will fuel these strong emotions from frustrations and disapointments of the recent past leading back to the year 2000/2001. This eclipse at 18-VIRGO on September 11, 2007 will bring back very painful memories of the events of Set. 11, 2001, and, moreover, will set into stone anger and resentment at those whom the people (represented by Venus) think is to blame. Moreover, the mundane transits clearly indicate that the blame for the economic pressures on families nationwide, including the pressures of war, and everything else that people feel should not be taking place will leak into 2008 in a major way. Saturn's entry into Virgo in early September, it's conjunction with Venus, and the Dragon's Tail in mid-October '07, and Saturn's coming opposition to Uranus along the Pisces/Virgo axis from 2008 to 2011 is pure mayhem in the sense of outrage. Much of what is to come will remind people of the public demostrations of the late 1960s and the early 1970s. In late 2008, and 2009 ~ there's a lot of action between Saturn & Uranus around the 18,19,20, 21st, and 22nd decgrees of Virgo and Pisces. This reflects the length of time of action from the coming Sept. 11, 2007 eclipse at the 18-degree of VIRGO. As the Lunar Nodes decline along the Pisces/Virgo axis they begin a new era in mid-December 2007 where a number of important ingresses take place. We've already seen the start of several of them this month of August and these ingresses will continue into early 2008 ~ ending with the coming Venus-Jupiter conjunction in tropical Capricorn at the end of January and in early February 2008: AUGUST 2007 - month of signs & warnings Aug. 6/7 - Jupiter stations direct over fixed star ANTARES Aug. 6/7 - Mars entered Gemini Aug. 18 - Venus turned to Morning Star Aug. 28 - Lunar Eclipse at 4-PISCES September 2007 - a major event month Sept. 2 - Saturn enters VIRGO Sept. 5 - Mercury turns S in declination Sept. 7 - Pluto stations direct Sept. 8 - Venus stations direct Sept. 11 - New Moon, partial eclipse Sun/Moon 18-VIRGO *October 2007 - major event month - October's transits effectively end the summer of 2007. Weather turns darker, cloudy, gray skies, with rains. Sunlight reduced more than usual this October. Virgo transits (Venus-Saturn-S. Node) very strong. Details, paperwork, documents, bills, etc., irritating people w/ many individuals too picky, too demanding. Note: The transiting Lunar Node, the Dragon's head will make a conjunction with the Synetic Vernal Point from October 15 to Oct. 29 ~ this is a very sensitive astronomical point that indicates a major changes in life paths for many millions of people. Oct. 9 - Jupiter square Uranus, exact - travel troubles, watch driving, accidents Oct. 11 to Nov. 1 - Mercury retrograde - slowdowns, miscommunications Third Week of October - Venus/Saturn/Dragon's Tail Conjoin - very dangerous conjunction... avoid crowds, fights, arguments, parties, avoid discussing relationships, be low-profile, low-key throughout October. *Oct. 31 - Halloween, Neptune stations direct. Halloween 2007 is very weird this year, and is not the year for a Halloween party. Transits are plain dangerous this particular Halloween. I'm staying in, and resting, and suggest anyone reading this to do the same. October 2007 is just not the month for parties. November 2007 - month of recovery, seeking balance, cautions Nov. 11 - Venus turns S in declination - start quiet plans Nov. 14/15 - Mars retrograde at 15-CANCER - men over-emotional, weirdos on the street, unshaved males, disoriented, over-sleeping, staying up late at night, drinking, taking drugs, fighting over petty things, getting upset over minor details, mental health issues w/ males. Mars will re-enter Cancer March 4, 2008 through to May 10, 2008... meaning entire period from Nov. 15, 2007 to May 10, 2008 all of the above... Nov. 23/24 - Uranus stations direct *December 2007 - major event month, endings & new beginnings The effects of the Sept. 11, 2007 eclipse are set to take place in this month from Dec. 9 to Dec. 31. Dec. 11 - Jupiter conjoins Pluto near Galactic Center - religious battles, troubles Dec. 17/18 - Lunar Nodes change quality from mutable to fixed (until Aug. 2009) - major change of "eras" from the mutable Pisces/Virgo axis to the fixed Aquarius/Leo axis. This new air/fire quality lasts from mid-Dec. 2007 to mid-August 2009 - major national/world changes take place during this nodal era. Dec. 18 - Jupiter enters tropical Capricorn - new 3-yr. era to 2011 begins - Jupiter will progress faster through the tropical constellations of Capricorn through Gemini (2008-2013). Very useful 5-year cycle for those interested in professional & business advancement. This is a Jupiter cycle not to be wasted. Dec. 19 - Saturn stations retrograde - (until May 2, 2008) - relief Dec. 30 - Venus enters Sagittarius - guard impulses, moderate Dec. 31 - Mars re-enters tropical Gemini - war news, build-ups January & February 2008 - major event months *Note - Jan. & Feb. '08 are busy months. Mercury, Mars, Uranus & Pluto are very active in relation to the Moon's transits. The global events at this time are directly related to the previous transits and eclipse of Sept. 2007. Jan. 21 - Jupiter trine Saturn - work towards practical goals, positive Jan. 30 - Mars stations direct at 24-GEMINI - more war news Feb. 1 - Venus conjoins Jupiter 9-CAPRICORN - excellent for spirits Conclusions ~ The transits from August 2007 to mid-December 2007 reflect a serious, and emotionally draining time for many people due to the transit conditions. Virgo and Pisces are highlighed. As mutable signs, and with Jupiter already transiting the mutable Sagittarius, along with Saturn entering the mutable Virgo, the New Moon and eclipse of September 11, 2007 clearly show rough waters ahead ~ particularly the fall months to mid-December 2007, when conditions lead to a new era that opens the period 2008-2011 ~ stressing the coming Saturn/Uranus opposition along the Pisces/Virgo axis ~ it is a time of radical changes butting heads with conservative outlooks. The eclipse of September 11, 2007 shows that the need for change must be acknowledged in real, seen progress during the lead-up to 2008, or a societal revolution will emerge in the years leading to the decade of the 2010s. This is a time of major changes for the world and in the lives of billions of people. It is advised for those who understand transits and astrologers who give guidance to help others to navigate them, to begin to do so now, just before the onset the autumn equinox in mid-September, and if able, before the New Moon of September 11, 2007. Surviving 2007 and to prosper in 2008 will mean to be able to carefully navigate the events of spring/summer and especially the fall season of 2007 in order to reach 2008 ~ a major "earth" aspect year that is reflected in the coming Jupiter-Saturn trine from Virgo to Capricorn, as well as the positive Venus/Jupiter conjunction at the end of January 2008 and early February 2008. Applying Capricorn-like goals, and plans will work well for those who are looking to make a new start for the years 2008, 2009 and 2010 ~ which are special years based on the transits of Jupiter, Saturn and the trans-Saturnian planets of Uranus, Neptune and Pluto. The true feel of the 21st century will begin to take shape next year (2008) and by the year 2010, many people will have noticed that times have changed. Avoid being drawn unwillingly into the dramas and projections of others; especially those whose own personal greed over recent years have gotten them into trouble. The celestial influences show there are many frustrated and unhappy people out there. Many of them are immature, and looking to blame others who are not at fault for their own problems. Beware this year, heading into the third week of October through late November, and again, around Dec. 17, 18, 19, and again, in the months of January & February 2008, for those who are unable to leave well enough alone, and who do not want to move on with their lives. Also avoid impulsive (Sagittarius) actions during the late autumn that are not well thought out prior. Details matter with these particular transits of the fall season. Failing to pay attention to them could have dire consequences for the lazy of mind and heart. RELATIONSHIPS & NEAR-TERM TRANSITS Transits indicate to me that the events of October will have many people thinking in November, and December how to leave situations they have outgrown ~ especially regarding professional and personal relationships. There are people out there, who by December 2007, will be considering ending relationships without telling their significant others. If this is done, because of fears of violence, then consider the timing of such actions, as Mars will be retrograde by mid-November through the end of January 2008. Matters of the heart are strongly tested this autumn. it is wise for those who are intent on making changes to do so in as quiet, and discreet manner as is possible. Watch what you say, and whom you say it to ~ even if it is a close girlfriend. Loose lips can sink ships. The month of November 2007 is a tough month for personal relationships (Venus square Mars). After the events of October, many relationships will be rocky to say the least, and by December, the economic situations that have developed since spring/summer 2007 will have become dire due to the onset of the approaching holiday season. The second week of December 2007 offers the best transits for smoothly ending relationships one has outgrown while making sure one has thought carefully about what to do next. Many people will attempt to use Dec. 31, 2007 to suddenly end relationships and scoot. It is better to do so earlier in the month rather than using New Years' Eve, as some will do because Venus will enter Sagittarius on that date. However, Mars will re-enter Gemini, retrograde in motion, on the same day. January & February 2008 should be used well by being low-key, low-profile, and pushing ahead with one's goals and plans straight to the date of May 9, 2008, when Jupiter goes retrograde at 22-CAPRICORN while Saturn will have turned direct in motion on May 2, 2008. Jupiter's motion from the time of writing (late August 2007) to early May 2008 offers the best opportunities to start a new career in a new town, so to speak. After May 9, 2009, slow down, stop, re-assess, enjoy the summer of 2008, and wait to re-inplement any future plans until September 7-8, 2008 when Jupiter moves direct in motion again, and performs another (and stronger) earth trine to Saturn during the autumn months of 2008. At that time, Venus and Mars will be conjunct in Libra ~ for many people this either means a reaffirmation of a continuing relationship, or the start of a new relationship with a new person. It is wise to prepare for 2008 by clearly thinking through one's plans of action and timing them to maximize one's success in starting a new life for 2008 with the minimum of problems associated with such changes. In this way, the transits of autumn 2007 are neutralized while goals can be set, and met to take advantage of the calming, and practical Jupiter-Saturn trine of 2008 and the coming world transits that take all of us into the challenging and radical decade of the 2010s. The coming change in quality of the transiting Lunar Nodes from the mutable to fixed element in December 2007 reveals another mini-era that lasts from mid-Dec. 2007 to Aug. 2009. That makes this autumn season in the northern hemisphere, and that of the spring season in the southern hemisphere . This change adds to the end of a longer era, as represented by the transit of Uranus in tropical Pisces, and the coming of the end of an age that began in the year 1928. The north lunar node in tropical Pisces has moved past its conjunction with Uranus, and is now moving toward a conjunction with Neptune, in tropical Aquarius that will take place in Novembern/December 2009. The world is entering what I consider to be the real start of the 21st century about the year 2011/2012 - when Uranus leaves tropical Pisces, and starts a new 84-year cycle in tropical Aries. The time now (Sept. 2007) leaves about four-years of the current cycle, and age, represented by Uranus' transit since 1928. This is generational, and reflects the generations whose lives were determined by the transits and events, and experiences of the 20th century, which is fading. This we can see in the behaviors and actions of the baby boomer generation worldwide, and the ending of their influences in the world's society, and the rise of the generations that have come after the baby boomers. The lunar nodes in Aquarius/Leo will be strong; although the North Node will reflect, for a time, the influence of Neptune, during its conjunction with Neptune's transit in 2009. The transit of the Dragon's tail is influenced by the nearest planets ~ mainly Saturn (autumn 2007) and then Mars, when it conjoins the south lunar node in Leo in June 2008, and then its contacts to the north lunar node in Aquarius in Feb. 2009. All this reflects the ending of a cycle as they relate to the older generation. Much of it involves dissolving of old memories, experiences, things learned and not learned, etc., etc., life's lessons, between mid-December 2007 to August 2009. There is one more attempt by the older generation during the transit of the lunar nodes in Capricorn/Cancer after mid-June 2009 to March 2011 ~ but that is further dissolved as Uranus enters Aries in that month and year ~ showing the end of the 20th century, and the power of the baby boomer generation, who are now senior citizens in many of the developed world's populations and getting older. Thisis reflected by the coming transit of Neptune in tropical Pisces in the 2010s as it dissolves this generation throughout that decade. Uranus' current transit in tropical Pisces reveals the awkward ways the baby boomer generation are attempting to hold on to their "youth" but not facing the facts of age. Saturn's opposition to Uranus from 2008-2011 shows the breaking points, and Neptune's entry into Pisces in 2012 is the start of the dissolving of this generation through old age in the 2010s. There are major world transits between late 2007 right through to the year 2011 that every serious astrologer, and student should review. These are heady times ahead, and those who are able to navigate these coming transits will be better positioned to handle the global transits of the decade of the 2010s. Global transits have way of rounding things out... or, as the saying goes, "what goes around comes around..." Saturn's recent entry in tropical Virgo and Uranus' transit of tropical Pisces are good indicators of the ending of one century (the 20th) and the emergence of a new one (the 21st). We already see most people feeling worr-out by the constant pulls and tugs of the last century, and new paradigms are needed. These new paradigms are on the way, according to celestial signs. At present, we are seeing the stage being set for the end of this decade, and another being set for the next decade, with signs worldwide of what we can expect in the 2010s. For astrologers, it is important to alway consult your emphemeris, and to note important stellar markers which always denote coming changes that one can apply through the proper use of free will. Transits from September 2007 to mid-December 2007 bring to an end the rough, testing, and challenging year of 2007 while ushering in a new mini-era that begins in earnest in December 2007 through August 2009. This is an important 20-month period where much can be accomplished on a personal, professional, individual, and group level, but much depends on the motivations, and honesty of those involved in whatever they may be seeking to accomplish. The present transits through to mid-December 2007 allow for re-adjustment after the hard year of 2007. However, it is better to work and plan for the years 2008/2009 ahead in this cycle, and avoid the negative impulses to remain doing whatever is the "status quo." The coming years of 2008-2013, overall, are very important, and with Jupiter and Saturn in more "serious" signs during these years ~ we will see seriousness reflected throughout world societies according to transits. Hopefully, we will see more positive directions throughout the world-at-large, because they are much needed. We all can make a difference by doing our parts for planetary improvement ~ and there's a ton of work to do. |

"as we have discussed many times on the blog, there is no one-size-fits-all remedy for everyone. its all an individual thing.
you are your own doctor and healer. especially when it comes to this matter. others can give pointers or general directions, and can certainly provide inspiration, but only you can walk the road. its about tapping into who you are, that real you, and all the things that turned that person on in the early years. its reclaiming that voice that has got suppressed. healing is nothing more than self-forgiveness, and the ending of self-sadism.
today you have a million cures, and specialists and not one jot less self sadism. that is why people get sicker for all of it. the twigs are pruned but the root remains.
polishing the suitcase does not clean the clothes within."
