Have noticed that some forecasts made in the December, 2008 "The Shape of Things to
Come" (DVD now available) predictions panel have already come true. For instance,
"…floods, heavy rains, landslides or polluted water… " - the chart shows much colder
winters as well as "…much discussion and writing about unusual weather patterns in the
news… sudden coldness, swimming…Also, this CapSolar year, Mars maps potential winter
difficulties or freak storms resulting in damage from cold, freezing or possibly even death.
This is good news for those of us who have been keeping track of global warming. However,
we mustn't be ostriches with our heads in the sand - a cool year does not suggest a definitive
planetary cure as yet. Measures still need to be taken.
There have been recent flooding or heavy snowstorms in the Midwest,
including Missouri, Indiana and Arkansas.


Keep an eye out, for "…There is potential increase in income for script-writers…" which
may indicate a favorable outcome for the writer's strike. We have already seen "… In terms
of transportation…agreements…improving matters related to …vehicles … especially
electrical and electronic ones."
in the form of new models of electric cars released.
And those of you who were puzzled by Sheriff Michael Corona's behavior may not be
surprised to hear this excerpt: "…official police, detective or investigative work about
possible problems or scandal linked to important person(s) and perhaps a cover-up or
deception related to police actions or errors…one or more police officers who may have felt
above the law due to outstanding success and increase of power and influence at work
resulting in illegal activities or fraud or toleration of them. "
And, greenies will be happy to note an " … increased tendency to dress or groom hair in a
conservative fashion which could result in profits to the garment and hair design
industries…[and] a generalized, motherly response to endangered or dying species. Green
investments are likely to continue to flourish…" I also said "One potential should be
carefully curbed - a tendency to impose submission to environmental influences in an
oppressive fashion. Because this year bodes well for extensive improvements related to
ecology, some of which could become compulsory, the people may discover some of their
privileges are in question because of extreme stances regarding global warming, pollution,
weather anomalies and deforestation, and may need to reassert equality, lawful rights and
entitlements to restore balance. It may help to be prepared beforehand by
studying laws that may come into question."

-- Love, light, joy, peace, abundance, and a cool, green Earth! Misty Day, C.A.P.
Our trip to the Renaissance Faire was filled with impressions of beauty, whimsy
and magic. There were pageants, overflowing, buxom bodices, shirtless jackanapes,
lute-players, mages' staffs, ornaments, an incredible variety of costumes, capes,
tabards, berber maidens gracefully undulating, low theater, goslings, pirates
everywhere, with Goddess imagery and warriors as well as courtly maids, royalty
and gendarmes in abundant supply. The weather was superb. Astrology for the day
included the following: A grand trine between Venus, Saturn and Pluto (remember,
Saturn-Pluto aspects can show the military, uniformed personnel, and magicians,
while Venus shows the feminine touch.) Mercury closely trine Jupiter indicated an
easy trip up to Irwindale and back, plus connections with other cultures (England,
France, Germany, Africa, India, and the Berber territories were represented.)
Mercury's degree symbol was "A jewelry shop filled with the most magnificent
jewels" -- and the jewelry was stunning. A Mars-Uranus trine showed an elfin
touch, dragons, teamwork of pirates and warriors, and excitement with just a hint
of danger. Mars' degree symbol was "A leader wrapped in an invisible mantle of
power." --Mantles and cloaks worn by royalty and clergy were not invisible, but
ever-present. Jupiter sextile Uranus portended unusual rituals, originality,
theatricality and derring-do. Also, a blend of technology, ancient arts and sciences -
there were ATM's and astrolabes, brass and silver tarot cards as earrings and
pendants, leather books with monstrous faces (a bit of Saturn trine Pluto again) and
fair maidens, yeomen and pirates alike sported cell 'phones. One woman in peasant
dress soared by in an electric wheelchair crying "make way for the fairy cart!"
There was an exact conjunction of North Node and Neptune in Aquarius (to the
minute) clustered with Mars, Sun and Saturn on the 22.5 degree dial, producing a
sombre, macabre note in the presence of skulls and fierce leather masks. Mars
(battles and weaponry) Saturn (dark ships and worn costumes) Sun (actors and
playful visitors) and Neptune (water, the sea) combined in one scene with young
men in pirate costume lobbing leather balls at one another from simulated cannons
aboard mock ships dripping gobs of water soaking their jerkins. Lovers of Harry
Potter and Pirates of the Caribbean rejoiced.

5/3/08: the latest weather reports show 19 tornadoes in Missouri, Texas, Arkansas
and Oklahoma, floods in Maine, temperatures in the 30's in Minnesota, floods in
New Brunswick, tornadoes in Wisconsin, and "very cold weather" in Iraq. This is
in alignment with the Timesmithing Capsolar predictions of December, 2007 for
this year. There are two powerful midpoint clusters active that show unusual
weather, floods, and cold or freezing. For more information about this and other
events, see the Politics page.
I joined a group of spiritual friends for lunch at a mansion up in Anaheim Hills. It was
splendid in every respect, superbly decorated; luxurious gardens, pool, tennis court. We sat,
reminisced, soaked in beauty:

Venus, goddess of beauty, design and attractive horticulture, was at 3 Gemini: **The
garden of the Tuileries, in the court of Louis XIV** Genuine aristocracy and splendid
perfection. Fulfillment of ideals in form and tradition. Collective beauty, luxury. To enjoy a
cultivated environment. Pleasant gardens.
To have enough to sustain and interest you.

Jupiter t was at 10 Scorpio: **A fellowship supper reawakens unforgettable inner ties.**
Nostalgic memories of the past. Present experiences reminiscent of past pleasures.

Saturn t was at 10 Leo: **Early morning dew.** Fresh delight of wonder and beauty.
Sparkling, sense of well-being, plenty and luxury in the ongoing, natural process of life.
Wonder, nourishment and inspiration from the natural environment and from divine
sources.

Vesta, goddess of the hearth, was at 13 Leo: **An old sea captain rocking on the porch of
his/her cottage.** Pleasant memories of special occasions and interesting histories.
Storytelling, tradition, enabling the young to benefit from the experience of those who have
gone before them. To enjoy the property in peace. There was an older gentleman who
called the meeting and he sat back on the rear legs of his chair, reminiscing, just as the
degree depicts.

Hygeia was at 24 Capricorn: **A woman entering the sure haven of a [spiritual sanctuary
or convent].** Protective kindness of life and of the cultivated elements of society to fulfill
hearts. Quiet spiritual undercurrent of existence. Timely rest and retreat for the goodness of
the soul. Assistance, peace, tranquillity, protection. Ashram. Can be a family grouping, but
it is usually a group of special friends and spiritual companions sharing resources,
knowledge, playtime, sometimes worktime, and perhaps lodgings, in a routine, kindly
manner.

"We'll have children
of the Kingdom [Ashram]
they won't be torn by war
nor will they
kill or hate
or hesitate to love (Justice)" -- Seals & Crofts

The Sun t was trine Jupiter t, favoring outdoor activities, giving a feeling of affable satiety
and comfortable relaxation, may attract wealthy people or their environments, and is one of
the aspects of ministers. (There was a minister present.)

Venus t was conjunct my natal Ascendant: Harmonious, friendly interactions with others.
Improved popularity, good taste, friendly, affable, and pleasing behavior. Comfort in
relationships. Beautiful (or decorative) appearances. Time to enjoy oneself. Good taste, art,
music.



I had an experience that I can only call a "visitation" from an angel, of sorts… Similar to
historical tales, a taste of energetic ecstasy descended from the throat to the solar plexus so
profoundly pleasurable that I, for once, stopped talking! I could only gasp in an awestruck
sort of way. I've been making light of it ever since because I haven't integrated it yet, it was
almost too beautiful to bear. Eventually it subsided enough for me to speak, and then a
voice came out of my mouth with messages for the group. Rather nice messages about
pathways to celestial tribes and God and so forth. Well, after that fun I had to look at the
chart.

The event began at 1:02 p.m. PST 11/4/08 in Anaheim, CA.
With Aquarius rising, a "Degree of Positive Intercession". Some aspects include Sun r cnj
IC sq Moon r - an event having personal significance and putting me center stage. Moon t
tr NN r - it was a group of women. Su t sxt Ma r - an increase of energy. Me t cnj Ne r, tr
Me r, sq Ur r, sxt Pl r - a surprising communication with an element of wonder or mystery.
"This energy can be unsettling or inspiring -- possibly both." "Thoughts…of matters
usually inhibited or unconscious." Trance states. Natal Ve ssq t Asc qnx t MC, Ne t ssq Ve r
(Venus has shown up for kundalini anomalies, possibly connected to the metabolism of
sugars -
we had just eaten pumpkin pie.) Pallas is rather strong,
opposite Pallas r and t Eq, tr Ve r, Ju r and Vx r. MC t is sq Pallas r.
Degree Symbols: Moon: **A waterspout.** Irresistible outbursting of pent-up impulses,
creatively and regeneratively. Healing of complexes. The will to wholeness. Self-disclosure.
Mercury: **An airborne golden leaf teaches instruction to a curious schoolchild.**
Wonder at miracles, delight at being taught. A Degree of Enchantment. Venus: **A child
with a censer serves near the priest.** Rejuvenation of spirit. Preparation for
enlightenment. Mars: **An oriental person nursing a baby haloed by a divine light.** A
special person with a message. The promise to us all that God may take birth within our
realm of experience. Personality integration. Illumination. The manifestation of the divine
within one's own soul. Uranus: **An officiant instructs the initiates.** Neptune: **A big
white dove, a message bearer.** The blessing of every conscientious effort by the "Holy
Ghost". West Point: **An unsealed letter full of vital news.** A context based on
honorable vows and lofty ideals. Disclosure, for love and friendship's sake. Hygeia: **A
white triangle with golden wings.** Eagerness for a spiritual goal. A Degree of the
Miraculous.



I accidentally stumbled on the option to electronically read and narrate text included in my
astrological software. I was quite surprised and pleased. Transiting Mercury (speaking and
writing) was (0:59) still conjunct transiting Jupiter (opportunity and expansion),
semisextile transiting Pluto (profundity, something unusual). My natal Jupiter-Venus
conjunction (pleasant experiences, possessions) was on the 4th house cusp (coming to the
fore). Transiting Ceres (the generous and abundant mother) was conjunct natal Midheaven
(professional matters -- in Aquarius, involving astrology and computers). A midpoint that
was active: Transiting Mercury = natal Uranus/Midheaven: Thoughts related to surprises,
surprising discussions, unexpected communications, spontaneous speech, discussions
related to events, to get excited.



The Degree Symbol for 7 Capricorn is: **Birds in a house filled with light are singing
happily.** The happiness that radiates from an integrated personality. Firm
self-establishment in social comfort and respectability. A Degree of Song. With transiting
Mars in this degree I found myself singing while making breakfast. I had watched Brother
Sun, Sister Moon, a deeply moving film about the life of St. Francis and his work with the
homeless and underprivileged, and in the film score there was a song written by Donovan
that goes like this: "Birds are singing, sweet and low, from the trees that gently grow, soft
and soothing breezes blow, on this lovely day." The house was indeed full of light, so three
elements of the symbol came together in a new juxtaposition:
Birds, house, light, and happily singing.


Astro-Event: Gem Show at Bowers Museum
Chart Data: 10:55 am 8/9/07 Santa Ana, CA

The first thing that stands out in the event chart is Venus conjunct Saturn in Leo in the
11th house. Venus = gems and jewelry, Saturn = hard things, and Leo is known for its
flamboyant love of jewelry and other precious things. Saturn trines Pluto in Sagittarius -
mining, things from underground. Pluto's degree symbol is **A sculptor's vision is taking
form.** Mastery of formative intelligence over substance. Sureness of expression and
perfection of ability. A permanent form to one's inner ideals and images. Saturn's degree is
**Dawn; in the east, light slowly increases, and the stars are blended in with it.**
Transforming power of creative impulses as they bring ideas into concrete manifestation. A
sense of wonder as the opportunities beckon to us. A Degree of Manifestation. One of the
sculptures was called "Manifestation", and we did feel wonder at the beauty of objects on
display. Uranus closely trines the Midheaven: Something exciting, unique, different among
pleasant companions. Venus squares Mars, often showing artistic inclinations or activities.
The Sun widely trines Jupiter, showing wealth. Sun's degree is associated with inviting
guests to participate in comfortable social/spiritual occasions. Jupiter is in the 2nd house of
valuable possessions, in Sagittarius (items from other countries). Many of the displays were
from exotic locales. The Part of Fortune degree, in the 11th house of friends, was **In a
palatial estate bright-eyed women laugh happily.** Early stage of development of
individual soul, with full yet binding life-protection. A measure of freedom. Popularity with
women. Friendship, sisterhood, non-competitive relationships, family, prosperity, joy. A
Degree of Satisfaction. (I went to the exhibit with two women friends.) The 8th house cusp
(Placidean) was in a degree associated with multiplicity of forms with underlying similarity.
Pallas Athena's degree was **In a quiet moment, an art student drinks in the flow of
inspiration.** Gratitude, fulfillment, perfected wisdom, aesthetic ideals manifest in the
tangible realms. Venus and the Moon make septile aspects to Juno, and all three goddesses
are often shown bedecked with jewels.


It might be said that astrology is the answer to the familiar question, "why did the chicken
cross the road?"


If you are interested in helping the homeless or underprivileged without spending money,
scroll down to the bottom of the "Philosophy" tab. You can make a big difference in a very
short time through synergy, and it doesn't cost you a dime. It is no longer necessary to
remain apathetic about their problems -- a solution is being built through synergy as you
read this page!
