With Pluto's entrance into Capricorn, we can be certain that the old King ... the rule of the 'fathers' ... the old corporate structures ... the deadening social corruption ... is dying. The next 16 years will show us how we intend to evolve our vision of society and our responsibility to it. This is Capricorn's spiritual purpose. Pluto wants to renew it. This week's Cancer full Moon will nurture our dreams. Dream Big!

The intense energy of the past three eclipses was like a giant wave that has brought us to a new shore. Our new destination might not be clear yet, but there's no going back now. New patterns of perception are beginning to operate in our new emotional bodies, giving us the opportunity to see the world with fresh ideas and possibilities, as the old social structures continue to crumble and open up spaces for new life.

Four Powers are coming to the cosmic table this month.Along with next week's Lunar Eclipse, this cosmic cross signals a big change, one that is so necessary for our future. America is at the center of these changes, because they 'hit' America's 4th of July birth chart. Americans have to look at our mythic story and realize how far we've come from living our ideals.It's time for a new revolution--we're the ones called to do it.

Get ready for accelerated time. Yes, it's going to get faster! Coming up this next month are three eclipses, as well as planetary shifts that will accelerate our evolution. Since most of these celestial events occur during the Sun's journey in the sign that rules the Mind, please be open to changing your mind! As you change your perspective, you enlarge your life.

Avatar's appeal isn't just visual, it's visceral. Like ancient myths, it gives form to new archetypal energies, new ways to see ourselves as a people. Woe to the corporations, because it speaks to people's hearts and makes us think about our lives and about our world. I'd like to take you on a Jungian exploration of the film so you can see the archetypal depth of meaning there, and know why so many people are drawn to it.

Monday's Sagittarius full Moon is a partial lunar eclipse, with the Earth lining up between the Sun and the Moon so that the Earth block's the Sun's light from fully reaching the Moon. Since planets do have energetic connections, during a lunar eclipse the Earth cuts the energy between Sun and Moon, dissolving the energetic structures on Earth and within us.

All full Moons highlight our relationships, and the Aries/Libra full Moon is the archetypal relationship full Moon since the two signs energize self (Aries) and other (Libra). This first full Moon of the year shows us the emotional issues we face as we relate to each other. This is the full Moon to be conscious of "all our relations' in our dealings. And a good place to start is to examine how you act towards others.

Have you been feeling the energy? The Heavens are shape-shifting: the 7th, final square between Uranus & Pluto on Monday, Saturn retrograde last Saturday, a solar eclipse new Moon at the very last degree of the zodiac next Friday as well as the Equinoxes--Spring and Autumn. The cosmic energy wants to bring forth something new. Leave flat-earth ideas behind and step into the quantum field! We need a new story.

The 2nd of 3 eclipses is a New Moon Solar Eclipse in Taurus. Solar eclipses indicate a propitious time for new beginnings. Taurus is all about what we value and what we build. 'If you build it, they will come.' The question is, what's worth building? Once you know that, put your back into it!

This full Moon in Leo wants us to express our dreams and our hopes for the future. Aquarius is very future oriented. With the Sun joining Neptune the day before the full Moon, that Aquarian vision is deeply spiritual and imaginative, calling on us to live an artful life. Mars and Mercury join Neptune and the Sun, giving us the initiative and the new ideas to bring forth our vision.

This full Moon in Libra asks us to be fair and just, to bring our talents and gifts into our society, and to balance our self interests with the greater, common good. Many people are living in fear because of the economy, and are quite selfish in their beliefs about what is right and wrong. Their self interest is more important to them then our common interest.

The sky this next month is very active. We're gong to have a third--extra--eclipse and the third Uranus/Pluto square by the end of May. We have to step up our political action and our personal responsibility. This lunar eclipse in Taurus/Scorpio offers us a chance to release our dependence on 'things' and place more faith in each other. It's time to really look at our values and live them. Taurus says, 'if you build it. . .

A Solar Eclipse is a new Moon where the Sun and Moon are on the same plane as the Earth. All three heavenly bodies line up, and we see the Moon's passage over the face of the Sun. The Moon, which symbolizes our emotional body, blocks our rational solar consciousness and we are allowed to "see' the truth of our emotions. What are you feeling that you've been told is inappropriate? What have you been ashamed to admit to?

This month's Taurus Full Moon stands across from the Scorpio Sun, making us aware of life flashing before our eyes during this season of death. The Taurus Moon energizes the beauty and possibilities of life that we want to conserve and protect during the coming months of darkness and cold, so they can blossom again next May.

Virgo's lessons and initiation involved alchemy, the union of opposing energies and the transformation of those energies through self-knowledge into a new sense of wholeness.Virgo is the sign where we work to perfect ourselves, not by being perfect but by coming to understand how we see ourselves, what we value, how we process life, what our emotional body feels like and where our creative impulse li

This Winter Solstice story speaks to our primal need to find the light within and without as we are surrounded by darkness. It speaks to our times, and to these holidays or holy days. And by the way, if our country celebrated Winter Solstice, which is non-denominational, we could privately celebrate our religious traditions without stepping on any toes.

The energies leading up to this full Moon have been intense. With the 2nd Uranus/Pluto square last week, we've really entered a time of radical re-alignment and re-structuring of our personal habits and our collective enterprises. With the Sun moving into Libra on Saturday, September 22 at 7:49am PDT/10:49 am EDT, our collective attention (Sun) turns toward partnerships (Libra), as we develop a new paradigm.

June's full Moon occurs in the sign of Sagittarius--the truth-speaker and truth-seeker. What is the truth of our times? How can we begin to think differently about where our future lies? We need new categories and new ideas about what is possible. This full Moon can be a doorway to a new way of thinking, that includes listening to the heart.

The Virgo Full Moon focuses our awareness -- awareness being one of the gifts of any full Moon -- on how each of us has a place and purpose in the pattern of Life. Where Pisces asks us to swim in the multi-dimensional ocean of life energy, Virgo demands that we incarnate the specific blueprint of life that each of us vibrates to. How do we become "virginal' so we can give ourselves away? How serve our fellow human beings?

Sometimes we have to step back so we can see where we've come from. At the Harvest Moon and Autumn Equinox, it's good to recognize what we've harvested this year--who we have become. We live in a matrix of cosmic revolution and evolution, where we now have to define what we value--especially how we value our work and money. It's time to start the EVOLUTION!
