In our fifth week of Lent (preparation for Easter, Resurrection), we have a new moon in Pisces which conjuncts (joins with) Uranus (Ray 7), the Aquarian planet of change (continuing, accelerating and underscoring the recent eclipses which bring inner and outer substantial and essential changes). The new moon (17 degrees Pisces) depicts a further withdrawal of Ray 6 and the Piscean Age influences. This is

also the week of the (3rd) Mars/Pluto opposition (0 degrees Cancer/Capricorn). Mars/Pluto are the rulers (personality) of Scorpio, sign of reorientation, transformation, new life emerging from the death of the old. Scorpio is Ray 4 of Harmony through Conflict. With Mars in Cancer the media recently announced the lack of flour reserves creating rising bread prices. With Pluto in Capricorn, our cupboards could become bare. Pluto in Capricorn brings about extreme disciplines throughout our world.

Saturday is the United Nations Day of Women’s Rights & International Peace.  Let us define peace esoterically, from the Tibetans’ blue books. “Peace is the result of understanding and sharing and not the origin of them.” (Destiny of the Nations, p. 98). In another section of the blue books, it states that it is the intentions of Good Will that create Right Relations, which create Peace. In other words we do not begin with the idea of peace itself. We begin with intentions of Goodwill, always.

Sunday, early morning, Daylight Savings time begins. We “spring forward.” (Read more at nightlighnews.com .)

ARIES (March 21-April 20) Subtle yet important shifts will be occurring in your life and on inner levels. You may feel as if you’re on a boat rocking to and fro wondering where you’re being taken and why. Attempt to anchor yourself within whatever spiritual reality calls to you while also reaching out to friends for support and reaching well into the future with hope. No one is prepared for the future that’s to come. But you will be one of those asked to help bring it forth. You can and you will. For now, observe.

TAURUS (April 21-May 21) New and different ways of living are being shown to you and they challenge your previously conservative (a good way to live for you) ways. There will be new goals offered to you also, and at first you will say “no” which gives you time to think. Then you will, after pondering, come around to realizing these are good ideas you need to pursue. Take your time. There is no pressure. When you decide something you move quickly.

GEMINI (May 22-June 20) Sometimes we express our identity by creating conflict or challenging authority. In this way we learn about ourselves, defining who we are and what we want (or don’t want). You may feel some limitation and this will drive you to changes that lead to freedom. Act within correct timing and look for new opportunities to suddenly appear. Events may occur that surprise or shock. Then a new direction suddenly manifests.

CANCER (June 21-July 20) It’s important you consciously choose to have an open mind (Mantram: “I have an open mind at all times” recited over and over) to absorb the new possibilities coming that change your worldviews. Events inform you your previous thinking was a bit askew. Allow your thinking to be adjusted toward the truth and no longer based on opinions and judgment. This will be a large step in consciousness.

LEO (July 21-Aug. 22) For some Leos, new and exciting intimate relationships will be available. For others, having property and money in common becomes either unavailable or too much responsibility. Other Leos will experience deep psychological changes. For all Leos past needs have shifted to new needs and unexpected situations feel intense and fated. They are. And through it all, you say “I Am That.”

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) It seems certain changes must be made in relationships. This does not signify a fault but growth. You may also unexpectedly embark upon a wild and unusual relationship. Although not advisable, you’ll learn through its instability. Daily strategies will need to shift. Conflicts arising alert you that past patterns of relating won’t work anymore. The new ones will either be created by you, by others, or simply appear.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) Should anyone or anything make excessive demands upon you, choose a path different than yours and expecting you to follow, should there be extreme responsibilities professionally, or anything too binding or restrictive, you will break free in order to ease tension, you will escape in order to find your own way, and you will seek your own path in order to maintain health and happiness. Your entire life will be revolutionized. Slowly.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) Does life feel a bit more exciting? Are relationships during these years not very long term? They may be durable but you find you can’t have expectations. It could be that children or a very creative enterprise are/is in your life. With both (children and creativity) you see the need to be innovative, more attentive, and taking different approaches, which help you, redefine and then refine your abilities. More understanding follows. Yes?

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 20) Your relationships to family, parents, home, the past are the most important aspects of your life now. There is a release occurring and a reform within the family and you are the one whose task it is to bring the past to the present. On outer levels you feel unsettled no matter what you’re doing. Summon flexibility. Whatever you have not looked at will emerge and gaze at you. The deepest level of your being is shifting. Hold onto your parachute.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 21-Jan. 20) It is important that you observe your communication and how it affects others. You must also know that the tempo of your life has increased and this can make for impatience with others, especially those slower than you. It shows the quality of a person in how they communicate with those who need help, look to us for guidance and care. Your old and learned habits, if they do not serve others, must fall away. Otherwise the consequences are dire.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 21-Feb. 18)  Have your finances begun to withstand changes and is your economic and material situation not what it was before. This is occurring, or will occur, for everyone, but it seems to have begun with you. You will find that through this, your values also change. You already know to be green and sustainable is only the beginning. The next steps for Aquarian are two: astrology and community. One leads to the other.

PISCES (Feb.19-March 20) Have you been acting in ways different from your usual behavior? It could be a cry for freedom even though others may see it as rebellion. Should this behavior continue, you must then heed the message that perhaps certain changes in your life are overdue. Sometimes limitations appear to help us develop discipline, self-identity, contemplation, and a new plan for life. What will yours be?

The next two weeks may feel rather tense and edgy. The planets are building toward a conjunction of Mars/Pluto (danger!) Friday, March 7, with a new moon and Sun conjunct Uranus. Should we feel anxious, stressed, or apprehensive, we’ll know why. In the meantime, let us maintain goodwill, which, like an algebraic theorem, creates Right Relations, Right Thinking, and Right Action. Texas and Ohio hold their primaries Tuesday, March 4, a most important day to watch. Humanity will vote as Mars (action) enters Cancer (the masses of humanity step forward) and Mercury joins Chiron in Aquarius—humanity (Aquarius) speaks (Mercury) out. Someone or something will feel healed and/or hurt (Chiron). Both will occur, one after the other. Let’s observe everything together through the lens of this planetary information. We pray the correct candidate be chosen by the people of the United States—a candidate working under Hierarchical direction and for the good of the world. (See nightlightnews.com for Celestial Events and more.)

ARIES (March 21-April 20) Each day you have more and more mental clarity and this helps in the changes you bring about concerning ideas, plans and agendas. Your priorities gradually turn to family, home, things that nurture and cultivate a sense of well-being. Work in the world continues to expand, group social relations are emphasized and an inner call to contemplation and retreat begins. You have a lot to tend to.

TAURUS (April 21-May 21) Do tend to medical and especially dental check ups. This begins a time, two-and-a-half years or so, when you will need to care for your health with care and observation. A vitamin regimen for your bones (calcium magnesium) will be most important and this will also impact the health of your teeth. The soil our foods are grown in does not provide us with adequate vitamins and minerals, which your body and mind need. Eat super-foods.

GEMINI (May 22-June 20) Are you concerned with feelings of security and are you thinking about your family (past and present)? Are you comfortable where you are living and does your home environment meet your needs? Are your feelings about family life in conflict with your professional life? Is your household in order or in chaos, which means is it seeking order and harmony? You are considering so many things. Take one at a time.  Seek to understand the truth of your upbringing. Judge no one.

CANCER (June 21-July 20) It may not feel very safe to emerge from your shell and so stay where you are, hidden and quiet for awhile, till feelings of safety once again occur for you. Then you can resume assisting others, attend more dinners and/or meetings, chat more with neighbors, walk around your surroundings and take in the local events. How are your relationships with siblings? Perhaps it’s time to interact more and assess your childhood from a more loving point.  

LEO (July 21-Aug. 22) A creative situation may be occurring concerning your money and how it’s used. What are you doing with your resources? Are they being used to prepare your future and do your plans reflect how highly you value yourself and your needs? What is your relation to those you work with and how is the health of your intimate relationship(s)? All of these will ask for more surrender, more attention, and more loving understanding. You are made of (and for) this.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) Teamwork with partners and or friends is most important these weeks. Attempt to make this a priority lest the apple cart be upset and things go awry. Do not expect others to be as fast or able to comprehend as well as you are. An emotional poise will be needed, which will help others learn how to cooperate. Diplomacy, the art of, is the guiding light of President Bill Clinton. Diplomacy opens the doors everywhere. Practice yours. Your future depends upon it.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) You’re called to work with more emphasis on speed and getting things done. This may be difficult. Should this occur, attempt to think about initiating new ways of working and introduce them to those who matter. Be extra careful at work, applying all safety practices. There is something nurturing. It’s far away and calling to you. You must go there when you can. It offers an interesting safety and security.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) You may be going in different directions than the direction your friends and intimates are going. You may have come to a time when your inner tasks will take you somewhere other than where you are now. You may feel this is a risk and it is. It is time to assess the direction you are taking, those who will accompany you, and what hopes, wishes and dreams are directing you. And then continue forth. Plan carefully. The doors will open.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 20) If you feel you’re still wearing a mask from Halloweens past, then take some time to carefully remove it and begin, slowly, to show your true and authentic self. You have great ambitions, great yearnings for power, fame and recognition. These come best to those who speak from the heart, honor their responsibilities with tenderness and care, and tend to the needs of others when those needs are apparent. You will be all you want to be. Tend to others along the Way.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 21-Jan. 20) Do give money matters and your resources a bit of extra time so that you can find ways to change things for the better, save for the future, observe if opportunities are arising, and begin to feel at ease with finances and money. Do make sure your first payment is to savings, your second is a tithe, and your third are for bills and expenses. Remember what you give out with love, is returned a hundredfold. And teach the children this.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 21-Feb. 18) It seems that certain changes wrought out in your life these past months have created a change in how you view life. You have had to adapt your environment to fit your new needs and although you desire to act more and in ways you’re used to, something has occurred that does not allow this. While your life changes in ways great and small, always remember to think of the welfare of others. They will, in turn, help you later.

PISCES (Feb.19-March 20) Perhaps you are waking up each morning and reviewing your life. Through self-analysis you’re seeing how you’ve progressed through so much limitation. Although on outer levels your self-esteem seems to be intact, you know how you feel inwardly. Things will be changing in the coming months and years. Be assured of this. Look forward, upward, inward and homeward with a steady heart. 

Bless me, Academia, for I have sinned  

We are in the first week of Pisces, sign of health and welfare for all humanity. As the U.S. is now progressed, Pisces, the issue of healthcare is a central concern. At present Uranus (change) is transiting Pisces. We are reminded of the great viruses of 1918, the last time Uranus was in Pisces.

Uranus is again in Pisces and we are now and have been, seeing outbreaks of illnesses, plagues, and diseases ravaging humanity everywhere. At this time Uranus is at 17 degrees Pisces and Chiron (the wound) is at 17 degrees Aquarius. Astrologers will see the connections between Uranus, Aquarius & Pisces (also last week’s quote). On our website this month (nightlightnews.com) is an article on global healthcare by Univ. of California Santa Cruz Sociology professor John Brown Childs, entitled “The Coming Global Health Crisis in the Post Exotic Age.” It is offered here for readers concerned with our heath crisis and provides a worldwide view on health beyond our own emergency in the US. Simultaneously, as we are choosing the next president and health care is a decisive issue, the New York Times posted an article by Paul Krugman, Feb. 7, 2008, concerning which candidate can achieve Universal health Coverage. See alternet.org/healthwellness/76225/. (See more on health along with the week’s Celestial Events at nightlightnews.com.)

ARIES (March 21-April 20) So many things will be revealed about you (your goodness, activities, intentions, etc.) in the coming months. You have become more compassionate and caring—seeking to serve others with greater dedication. You won’t forget yourself, though (never!), because you realize to tend to others adequately you must first tend to your own needs. Then you can uplift those in need and your spiritual self grows and glows.

TAURUS (April 21-May 21) If you haven?t begun then it’s time to begin a study of astrology and the Ancient Mysteries. Your mind, which seeks illumination (its task) is at present open to new thoughts, ideas, terminology, science, the technical arts and mediatorship within groups. The UN needs people like you. You are at present, and will continue, questioning everything, knowing you can break rules. Do you know you can connect everyone through the night sky?

GEMINI (May 22-June 20) Are you seeking the next stage in your profession? Do you feel you can no longer be the quiet Gemini doing what others ask of you? What must you begin to do? Looking at your chart with Uranus at the midheaven, astrology is the first thought that comes to mind. You could also work with computers. Because of your need for freedom, your work must not only liberate others but liberate you, too. What are you thinking these days?

CANCER (June 21-July 20) Maybe you want to run away, where no one can find you, where there’s kindness and care, where only loving family members will visit. You feel that you must be daring to do this since you don’t know where to go that fulfills your life’s wishes. But you do need some type of adventure, some new level of education, a trek up a mountain and a swim in warm waters. What will you do? Hiding won’t work.

LEO (July 21-Aug. 22) Usually you?re attempting to understand yourself and your creativity and how to be recognized and praised more which helps you grow. But in times to come you’ll seek beyond yourself into cosmic mysteries, realizing that much of how we live and what we’re attached to is transitory, and you’ll wonder how to establish yourself in ways quite different. You’ll like things that go bump in the night. You’re changing priorities.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) All relationships in times to come will have unusual aspects allowing you the freedom you seek, a freedom to experience things radically different than your sign of Virgo calls for. As a consequence, you will interrupt the flow, bring rebellion to interactions, create controversy, and act up if things get too slow and dry. And if you don’t, then in sails someone who will do these things for you. How interesting!

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) The routines and schedules you thought you wanted in relationships were the very things you walked out on. You knew that freedom to choose your own way was most important but for a long time you tried to compromise and accommodate. It’s OK that it was impossible. Now you’ll be able to exhibit the uniqueness of self hidden away for so long. Tradition for you has its place if accompanied by great beauty. Wherever you are, things move and shake.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) You’re gradually becoming the star of the show. The presence you project to the world has become even more unusual. Whereas you were hidden and silent (well, sometimes), you’re now being seen and your creativity is more and more apparent because you’re realized it’s OK to pursue pleasure, be gifted, and to be ahead of everyone else. It takes a transit to get us to this place.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 20) I am writing about Uranus as it travels through each person’s chart. For you, Uranus creates new archetypes, new patterns. Uranus takes hold of the old patterns, shakes them up, throws them into the world so the moth?s flutter out, the pain is shed, and the sadness slowly fades away. And after a time, after everything?s been wrung out from the past, a sparkling new archetype begins to form. Some of us are chosen to do this. Are you one of us?

CAPRICORN (Dec. 21-Jan. 20) Your mind is experiencing original insights, thoughts flashing at the speed of light, and ideas that explore ideas only Aquarians understand. Your sense of humor has expanded too—dryer than before—and communication has become the most important purveyor of truth. With these gifts, you may introduce new ethics, concepts, educational ideas, and information to the world beginning in your own environment. Be aware that it’s risky what you will do. It’s also a service.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 21-Feb. 18) The ways your finances flow in are unusual and often fun. Most other signs could not do as you in terms of money and its ebb and flow. What I suggest at this time is an accounting of all your monies in a folder where all expenses (to be paid and paid) are filed. Perhaps you are already organized in this way. Then the question is if you value yourself, how and how much. If that is lacking, we need to have a talk.

PISCES (Feb.19-March 20) You have realized you’re different than most, that although you attempt to walk the straight line of tradition, it simply doesn’t work out that way. You are most likely a genius though others may not know this, only a few. You are unpredictable and restless, yes, but you have the ability to be a leader (Pluto as Soul ruler), to facilitate a group but only when your mind is organized. That’s where the Soul is. Your environment must be organized, too. Tend to both immediately.

Coastal Watershed keeps its eye on how the water flows

Valentine's Day (Thursday) in the Mercury retro begins a busy week of Mercury direct, Sun entering Pisces, Pisces/Virgo Full Moon and the Chinese Lantern Festival. Who do you belong to and who belongs to you? That's a Taurus Valentine question. Something different is happening this year for Valentine's Day. It's the Valentine's Day Peace Project where people in communities around the world are by handing out flowers containing poems of peace, gratitude and community, many created by school children. Begun in Los Angeles (heart center of the U.S.), the Valentine's Peace Project has expanded to include San Francisco, New York City (spiritual inlet of the world), Chicago, Amsterdam. Also offered on this international day of love are peacemaking workshops expanding Valentine's Day from the personal (Leo) to the collective creating community (Aquarian) connections. Learn more at valentinepeaceproject.org and www.visionmagazine.com/archives/0802/los_angeles.html .

Locally, nothing's better than Donnelly's chocolates for Valentine's Day. Speaking of locals –the Chinese new year ends Wednesday at the Pisces Full Moon Chinese Lantern Festival, which Om Gallery downtown always looks like with its "lanterns" of lights hanging, suspended, dropped, draped and dangling from the ceiling in all shapes, colors, patterns and designs. In our intentional Aquarian community (template for the new culture and civilization), we'll have a Lantern Festival party signifying the new light, new season (spring), new life to come. Ohm. (Read more at nightlightnews.com).

ARIES (March 21-April 20) You need a group, a lot of people to talk with and listen to. Mostly you need playfulness, a honeycomb of light and laughter, a mingling of friends, ideas, plans, hopes, wishes that move swiftly into the future. Even though projects are well planned, there will be unexpected changes leading to a revelation of desires. Respond continuously with laughter, humor, and love, love, love.

TAURUS (April 21-May 21) Amidst talk and communication and the many tasks to perform this week you'll balance yourself with quiet research, reading and solitude. In between you're seriously intent upon having a formal dinner, talking about the future, finding the right place to work and live, and (gulp!) realizing your intimate has completely different plans far away. Oh dear. Better catch up.

GEMINI (May 22-June 20) Keep things light because it's likely you'll fall into some sort of moody bluesy state and you don't want to affect others so take care who's around this week. Inform everyone you're contemplating mysticism or magic or the Secret Doctrine. Actually reading "Ponder On This" or "Externalization of the Hierarchy" may be what's calling.

CANCER (June 21-July 20) Try to cherish those times long ago when life was easy and love was simple and romance was always on your mind. This week the hard truth is it feels cold in your heart so friendships are the safest place to be so be with friends and have the intention to radiate love and Goodwill for this will warm you and give you a feeling of life once again.

LEO (July 21-Aug. 22) Try not to work on Valentine's Day but if you must, make work a party, tend to others, bring candy and festive things to share. This will enhance your work situation, clear up anything uncertain and you'll be seen as the leader who brings a little light into the darkness. Do these things with a big heart.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) You're unbelievably busy! The planets are lined up in your house of work, service and tending to daily tasks. Follow Leo's directives, paying special attention to your special someone. If there is no special someone, then tend to yourself as special for before we can serve others (Virgo's task) we must serve ourselves. What is it you need in your life?

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) Preparing for things unusual, perhaps a trip far far away, and creating a whole new life for yourself is an extraordinary Valentine gift and one only you can give yourself. While waiting to embark on whatever's next, cut out red valentines, glue them with glitter, string them on gold twine, hang them everywhere and give them away. These can represent your heart which is free, open, alive and liberated! Almost!

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) Plan a party and invite everyone to your home. This will create new friendships, bring a new foundational energy to your home. Even though you like to be protected and private you won't lose all the magic and mystery. Have the intention to be a perfect host, have lots of food and drink, take everyone outside to watch the stars, and know that this party will play a large part in your future welfare.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 20) If you will have the intention that Valentine's Day will be a good day, and if you follow the advice I gave Leo, and if you just choose to do all things for others, and if you simply shower love on everyone around you and if you're flexible and open minded you'll have a celebration that's different than any celebration you've had before. Love is all you need. And so you are to create some.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 21-Jan. 20) Finances. Due to a recent choice you may worry more than needed. Know that all's well, your choice was correct and when we make choices from the heart life flows in harmony. Now it's time for a bit of pleasure, fun, calmness, rest, and attention to simple plans that create the art of living and a sense of beauty. Soon ideas will emerge concerning the new design of your life.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 21-Feb. 18) This week and month everything should be about you. You should be tended and cared for, loved and cherished, listened to and drawn out from the depths of concern and worry. As the future unfolds you will be more aware of your purpose and direction. A new sense of self-esteem will evolve along with compassion. 

PISCES (Feb.19-March 20) Playfulness, friendship and creating foods and crafts that others enjoy will keep you on the planet this week. While everyone's celebrating you'll think about how to make contact with the greater community called humanity. You remember that your task is saving humanity so you will work hand in hand with Aquarians whose task is serving humanity. A community will be built and you will be one of its founders.

In the Chinese calendar, Feb. 7, 2008 marks the Chinese lunar new year of 4706—the Year of the Earth Rat (Wu Zhi). As part of the New Year celebration, Spring couplets (zen-like poems), written in calligraphy on long red paper strips, are placed as decorations above and on two sides of door entrances. The messages are happy, hopeful and uplifting invoking a better new year to come. See chinapage.com/duilian/duilianphoto.jpg or chinapage.com/duilian/writeduilian.jpg . For more on calligraphy, a writing meditation, go to chinapage.com/callig1.html . Chinese new year celebrations, begun at the dark of the moon, end 15 days later when the moon is full, with the lantern festival.

The Chinese base each year on an animal (instead of a constellation). The origins of this tradition goes back to the Buddha who invited all the animals to pray and meditate with him on new year’s day. Only 12 animals responded to his invitation and so the Buddha dedicated a year after each of the animals who sat with him. The Buddha also said that some of the animal’s characteristics would be infused into humans born in a particular animal’s year. Those born in the rat years are leaders (because rat is the first animal in the Chinese zodiac), initiators, pioneers, trail-blazers. Read more on many things for the week at nightlightnews.com .

ARIES (March 21-April 20) Alice Bailey’s book “Serving Humanity” is one of the first books, actually a compilation, given to new aspirants seeking to study the Ancient Wisdom teachings. In creating each sign’s charts this week, your chart showed great emphasis in the eleventh house of astrology, community, the future, and a dedication to serve humanity. Since you’re being “called,” this book will serve you.

TAURUS (April 21-May 21) There is an attitude and method of action that would assist you in the tremendous amounts of work appearing in your life. The attitude is “just do it,” step by step, the method is having conscious (thus, wise) control of time. The results are that you grow in dispassion and in love for what is real. Thus your light increases which is what Taurus is all about—the illumination of the mind—the Buddha mind.

GEMINI (May 22-June 20) Seek perfection in action. During Aquarius we are summoned to serve humanity and your Ray 2 of Love/Wisdom loves humanity. You are called not to spectacular chimeras of service but to the instant application of doing perfectly what is in front of you. You realize life progresses by small steps and that each step taken at the right time creates accuracy. You are then impressed with the entire picture of life, and a rare beauty emerges.

CANCER (June 21-July 20) Your task is adaptability allowing you to step up and out of judgment which actually creates good judgment. Part of the wisdom of all who serve is to remember that we all pass through the Hall of Learning before entering the Hall of Wisdom. All our contacts and endeavors are part of our training. Each day we gather past life accumulations of knowledge. Each day we add to this body of knowledge. The adaptability is to notice inspiration arising from knowledge. This is Pallas Athena.

LEO (July 21-Aug. 22) Leo’s, when the Soul is directing their personality, serve with love and spontaneity. Should you find that your influence is somehow shadowed, know this is a temporary preparatory stage for greater leadership and influence and to a greater gathering of power in service to humanity. Leos are leaders, they love deeply and so they must be trained with a special spiritual focus. You will serve all who seek your aid. As this has already begun, rest when you can.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) The path to your inner self (sanctum) is the way of outer service. We are dependable servers if we walk independently in the light of our own Soul. Attempt to detach from any sort of extremity (making one an unreliable disciple). Instead be always in contact with the Soul which reveals the ‘love that underlies the happenings of the times.’ When this is known, true esoteric service and harmlessness result. These you seek.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) There are days when quietness and contemplation become your strength. In our present times, with constant adjustment occurring in everyone’s world (yours especially), necessity arises for those who harmonize, think clearly, have accurate discrimination and proceed toward the undisturbed inner life. These are creative attitudes  providing a model of undisturbed trust. These you can do as you balance on the “razor’s edge” which teaches you kindness.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) After many lives, and as experiences of betrayal mark your heart forever, you will see that personal(ity) aspects of your life fade out and your main preoccupation becomes “what is my service at this time, this life, this week, today, this moment?” “Who are the people or kingdoms (animal, plant, mineral) I can help?” “What aspects of the work should I give most attention to now?” The answers arising are due to your balanced intelligence and intentions for Goodwill. Think on these things.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 20) You ask so many questions of your life being the philosopher of the zodiac. And so here are some answers. When you have learned to be silent (Sag is one of the two signs of silence) as to yourself and what you think and feel and do, then the richness of your contribution to life itself, to love, to humanity, and to the earth will be so great that your field of service and your power to cooperate will become expanded to the point your heart will break. So that more Light (and more service) can be extracted from you.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 21-Jan. 20) The true disciple (one called to serve) is known by the influence s/he makes upon the environment. The true Initiate (Capricorn task) is known by the wide scope of world service. You are distinguished by such service even as you work on primary relationships, fulfill family obligations of ancient origins, and thus “clear the deck” for a more comprehensive and uninterrupted service to humanity at a later time. Our lives are spiritually complicated and all that we do is good(ness).

AQUARIUS (Jan. 21-Feb. 18) You are the sign of serving humanity while Pisces is the sign of saving it. One builds upon the other.  It is good to know the difference so when you interact with a Pisces you know your separate tasks. Even though you may think you are not doing effective service on the outer planes of life, your very life itself is a service. Hardly anyone tells us this because it is not realized. Even great thinkers fail to see that our very lives are dedications to service. Can you remember this?

PISCES (Feb.19-March 20) Simplicity can your guide. Where you find yourself is where your service is. Reach out not to the entire planet but to those around you. Before sleep each night, do your daily review. This means thinking backward, reviewing the day from end to beginning. Where situations did not contain Goodwill, visualize them occurring with Goodwill intact. This exercise prepares us for our final hours on earth and the bardos (transition toward the light) that follow. Ohm.
