I really like this article. It shows a little bit about the complexity of the effects when several planets are interacting directly. For myself, I’ve noticed things changing pretty dramatically with Mars going direct. I spent the winter in deep contemplation about my spiritual life and what it had to do with my financial crisis (I’d been looking for working for 1 year & 9 months, and had been on 20 interviews in the last year alone). It was fruitful contemplation, and after the crisis reached it’s zenith, I got a job, one I wouldn’t have considered without the crisis. (I haven’t begun working yet, I’ve just finished training). So things have been picking up speed with regards to getting my life back together and it feels good to be unstuck again and moving forward.

To James:

Yes, many people are reporting that suddenly there is movement where before there was only stagnation and blockages.

Good luck in Brasil.

Aside from the Health Care reform and the Civil War, I have found the movement of the Sun going into Aries and Mars going direct is finally allowing me to move forward in my practice and in some sense with my life.

With Mars going direct and the Sun in Aries I was able to:

1. get a computer fixed very quickly that I had been unable to use for 8 months.
2. Take one of my other computer was taken for repair since I now had the appropriate parts which I had not been able to use for the last 6 month.
3. I was finally able to figure out how to use a new software with my clients that I use to assess their brains.
4. I was able to start using a new energy technology going which I had not been using for years for balancing health
5. I saw a new lecture space and am now actively planning to give a first lecture in Brasil.

So I would say all and all the ball is moving and I feel an sense of excitement about what the future holds. There really is a building of energy now.

Dear Jim:

I appreciate your real and heartfelt analysis of the here and now as depicted in the heavens above. But, the emotions that are churning and burning as a result of … and further fueling … the social, economic and political environments are almost too much to get too involved on a day to day basis. It certainly provides grist for the mill of transformation and I am sad that more people are unwilling to take a walk into the wholeness of life. Over and over the story of the blind men and the elephant is apropos. Thanks for your article!

To Janell,

Thank you for writing. You’re right in that there is a difference between conjunctions, squares, trines and oppositions. You’re also right that most readers are not interested in a too detailed analysis of astrological details. So, I walk a fine line between the two sides of this coin.

However, I am intrigued by the point you’re making. I and the readers would love it if you would share your thoughts about how the Civil War demonstrated the nature of the trine as distinct from the square.

Hi Jim;

As a 35 year student of Astrology, I enjoy your Newsletter — I do think, however, you need to explain to your readers, who understand nothing about Astrology, in most cases, that there is a BIG difference between a Square of Saturn and Pluto –and the Trine when the Civil War Began — Square vs. Trine is a BIG difference. Right? True the aspecting planets are the same , but don’t signify the same meaning at all — squares – oppositions, and trines are vastly different predictors. I know you can’t get too technical, as respects the aspects, because the average reader wouldn’t understand it, however.

To Whitney:

At the beginning of the Civil War, there was a transiting square between Saturn and Uranus. Today, we are in the midst of an oppostion between the two. Also, there was an aspect between Saturn and Pluto as we have now. That aspect was a trine. So, yes, there are indded important similarities.

To me, the Civil War was inevitable from the beginning of this nation. Once slavery was legally accepted, the rest that happened could not be avoided. From what we saw today in the news (3-22-2010), it seems, the war is not completely over for some people.

Hey Jim: I would be curious to know where the planets were in 1861 at the start of the Civil War. And where the planets might be hitting similar mathematical points. I am from the south but live in New York and the way the tea parties are sounding off and the new coffee parties forming makes me wonder if the rift in America is similar to the one that led to secession. I hear talk of anarchy and secession in various forums and among some of my southern friends. Is it a possibility? I know the governor of Texas vowed to secede if the reform went through. Just thinkin’. Thanks for your newsletters. They are always very enlightening in the world view.

Jim,

Again, your right on target with the currents. I have been in a holding pattern in spite of many attempts to move forward on some critical papers for school, seems its been rather one crisis after another that has stepped into the path. Now, though, the works are coming together as though the holdup never existed opening a path through which the contents can formulate and get grounded.

Our heathcare system is run by big profits, it can’t continue the way it always has. I believe that the pharmacy companies are behind the protests, no one in their right mind can easily agree with the monthly premiums as they skyrocket and fewer and fewer families can keep up with co-pays and premiums. Making billions on keeping folks ill is front and center right now. The recent changes will bring even more of this sickness for profit to a head in similar fashion to the banking systems. You may be right that it won’t be pretty, but, it cannot remain the same either. The tea parties are I believe funded secretly by big-med. Obama is a catalyst and the sparks are emitting.

I appreciate your newsletters as they always give me insight into the hidden energies behind the scenes of constant changes.
