December 2021

This is a time of great transition; the breakdown of old systems that no longer serve humanity, and the healing and uplifting of all beings from 3D to 5D consciousness. Gaia is experiencing the sharp labor pangs as The New Earth is being born, and we experience the discomfort & ultimate joy along with Mother Earth. “January 2022 begins with a stellium of four planets in Capricorn signaling the necessity to express and communicate compassion, connection, and cooperation with people and circumstances. Authentic power comes from the full honest expression of feelings, thoughts, and emotions devoid of selfish ego-agenda.” In wisdom, we can cocreate with the universe, attaining the ability to utilize the “power of the word”, whether through speaking, writing, singing, chanting, art or music, which “will carry great energy for harmonization or erratic disruption of all life-creating endeavors. Through emotions, thoughts, words and deeds, people choose who and what they value. Awareness of what they feel energetically in every action, thought, and expression facilitates cocreating and manifesting the full expression of their gifts, talents, life, and love of being on the Earth plane. This attracts the people, beings, and energies that are here to support and cocreate in partnership as part of a team. We can follow our soul-heart inspirations, expressing them in multitudes of ways with feeling, which empowers and shines the light of truth on the viable path options open to full expressive manifestation.” The Sun, Venus, Mercury and Pluto “facilitate the anchoring into 3D with connection to the 5D, the soul-heart’s path, and destiny”. The more we’re able to be in the moment & the flow, the more ease we’ll have in discerning our true path. “With the grand-trine between Chiron in Aries, Mars in Sagittarius, and the asteroid Vulcanus in Leo, ancient warrior tactics give way to the soul-heart’s truth with a strong desire to heal the ages-old, little-ego selfish ways of expressing personal power, which is out of alignment with Source. Alternative wise uses of power, passion and truth will be expressed in more life-affirming, loving ways that are expansive, opportunistic, creative and multi-optional.” If we’re willing to look at what has been and what could be, the confusion & fear can be clarified, and uplifted for transformation & transmutation. We can connect with our purpose by going within, listening, and releasing the ‘monkey-mind’ that distracts us, generating chaos & confusion. Seek to be in the NOW, sending loving energy, and gratefully using the opportunities that come back to us. Challenges will continue, insecure souls will seek false senses of structure. “Systems, companies, countries, and governments based on the old polar paradigm will continue rapidly collapsing; only those seeking to be in balanced-reciprocity of giving & receiving will continue to thrive.” We need to take care of ourselves & our nervous system to avoid burnout; we need to walk in nature, meditate & “exercise wisdom as to whom we exchange energies with, that vibrationally aligns and harmonizes with our soul-heart’s truth and beingness”.

A new moon in January in mid-Capricorn on January 2, 2022, “with Mercury just entering Aquarius, Jupiter just entering Pisces, Saturn in Aquarius, a fire-trine between Vulcanus in Leo, Chiron in Aries, and Mars in mid-Sagittarius; this is truly a major opening of Earth to new directions in all dimensions, including the 3D. This is a catalytic time of release from past paths of self-destruction & fear, to be reborn into a more supportive, nurturing, loving place and space. The full-moon in late-Cancer on Jan 17, with Pluto & Sun conjunct in Capricorn, and the Moon opposite Vulcanus, this signals a time for finding balance within personal relationships with all kingdoms and the rest of the universe. For those who have yet to find this figure-eight flow within, their energies may appear jagged, scattered or static-oriented, making it challenging to be in their proximity. They can feel extremely challenged.” Wisdom bids us to go within and listen to our inner guidance to determine our own authentic paths of action. “Jan 27, the Aquarian cosmic equinox, is an auspicious time signaling when the cosmic flow of life-force energy will be released into all living beings. With this, the dam will break and the rivers will overflow, carrying the psyche of all members of humanity in an effort to deposit them where their soul-heart’s destiny desires. The second new moon occurs on Jan 31, in Aquarius conjunct Saturn, the Aquarian point of avatar square Uranus on the Taurus point of avatar, and Venus conjunct Mars in Capricorn square Chiron in Aries, and it brings harmonic vibrations, cosmic choirs, toning, and tremendous healing possibilities for all souls and psyches on the Earth plane. Those who have been able to release old patterns of fear, attachment, and limitation will discover a new lease on life and a clearer perspective. They will experience life-affirming opportunities that are joyous and supportive on all levels. Portals will open and close for the invocation, invitation, or dismissal of all vibrations required to bring about full-balanced reciprocity within and without.”

I gratefully watched some of the moving funeral service, televised from the National Cathedral, for Robert Joseph Dole, on 12/10/21; the retired Republican senator whose title, ‘Honorable’ was richly-deserved. Bob was a fiercely-partisan Republican, cast in the mold of more excellent, old-style GOP members or statesmen. He cooperated with & sometimes conceded to fellow senators to pass legislation to protect our nation, to help all Americans, especially those in greatest need. A veteran of WWII, who nearly gave his life in that mission; he spent several years recovering, and went on to serve & fight in Washington; not to battle other legislators, as much as to fight for veterans, farmers, and fellow Americans. He was co-founder for Association for People with Disabilities; he pushed for the WWII Memorial over several years, and was instrumental in raising money to get it built. He Never Forgot! I didn’t ‘know or like’ Bob Dole, so I am glad that I watched & listened to those who did, who told of his life & legacy, spoke of his deeds & ethical conduct. President Biden delivered a eulogy, talking of his integrity, principles & practicality; and all spoke of Bob’s optimism & humor. Dole’s daughter Robin, spoke of her father’s faith & his goal to do some good, everyday, for at least one person. He was a man dedicated to serving the common good. Now I know & appreciate Bob Dole’s humanity.

Dole gave an interview awhile back, speaking of some Republicans who seek to obstruct & who refuse to work with Democrats to get things done, he said, “Congress needs teamwork now more than ever, those who suggest that compromise is a sign of weakness misunderstands the fundamental strength of our democracy”. Millions of people, unknowingly, have been assisted for decades, by programs Dole helped to champion & implement, during the 36 years he served in Congress. Bob passed at age 98, on Dec 5; a life well-lived. Read Bob Dole’s last op-ed, printed 12/07/21, in USA Today. He said, “As divided as we are, the only way forward for democracy is unity consensus. We can find that unity again! I cannot pretend that I have not been a loyal champion of my party, but have always served my country best when I did it first & foremost as an American!”

Could this moving tribute to Bob Dole serve to turn even a few theatrical, grinchy Republican souls to do & be better representatives for their constituents and for all Americans? Don’t hold your breath.

CONTRAST GREAT BETWEEN OUR NEEDS AND DESIRES!

I had a great Thanksgiving and ate too much; how about you? Recently I watched on TV, scenes from a Kabul hospital, infants dying daily from malnutrition; everyday in Afghanistan, Yemen, Syria, Africa, even in America, children & adults are starving to death. Over 5 million people worldwide have died from Covid-pandemic since its beginning, with many millions left disabled. The virus has mutated — with over 50 variants; delta is still highly-transmissible & deadly, as a new variant, Omicron has emerged, causing more travel-restrictions & stock-market volatility. Omicron has 30 mutations within that virus, and drug companies are moving quickly to adapt their vaccine-formulas to combat the new variant. It seem impossible to attain herd-immunity with constantly mutating-viruses & insufficient distribution of vaccines globally.

Millions of people in various degrees of vigilance & boredom, are sitting at home, ordering goods, as the global supply-chain is further stymied; the contrast is so great among the needs & desires of people worldwide. Amidst those problems, the news of possible holiday-mail delays by USPS, adds to an essential contemplation & reconsideration of our usual holiday spending, and HOW we give. Of course, we’ll want to give our kids several age-appropriate gifts they’ll use & enjoy, and hopefully we can. Now, seems like the time to address our over-consumption & raging-consumerism. Suggestions: buy local, send packages EARLY, give necessary, usable items. For peeps nearby, perhaps arrange a time to deliver a box of foodstuffs to their doorstep. For bird-lovers of all ages, give a feeder & bag of birdseed or suet; it’s an inexpensive gift that keeps on giving. For those loved ones further away, you can easily, speedily, safely send money digitally via PayPal, Venmo or CashUp. Money they can spend on lunches, transportation, a necessary service, pay a bill, buy groceries, pay toward rent, utilities, or buy clothes. Avoid the crowds, the germs, the traffic, uncertain delivery systems; send money digitally by laptop or smartphone. The new craziness I witnessed on 11/28/21: news video of organized flash-mobs, smashing store windows, stealing high-end items like purses & phones to sell online.

Low-information consumers, ingesting & trusting disinformation sites, have little understanding of big-picture events occurring & WHY they’re happening, and tend to ignorantly blame President Biden for all the ills of the world. It’s disconcerting, but by now, totally expected from those Americans. It feels perplexing when some of those persons seem to be educated & possibly even held upper-level jobs or had somewhat prestigious careers, but SADLY we see this type of benighted, biased-intellect everyday.

December 2021 opens with a 6-pointed Star of David configuration “in the heavens in fire and air signs, signaling an increased flow”, of powerful energies enhancing “power, compassion and communication for working together cooperatively”. Venus comes into exact conjunction to Pluto in Capricorn, expanding possibilities for promoting harmony among humanity. When we use our energies for love & for empowering the highest good for communities we can expect successful results, but using fear, manipulation & guilt can result in destruction and loss of life. Secret intentions & plans will be revealed and may cause disruptive shifts in possibilities & opportunities. Go within to seek inner wisdom, guidance & visions. Miraculous situations may occur within our third dimensional world.

The new moon’s partial eclipse in Sagittarius occurs on Dec 3rd, at 11:44 p.m. PST, conjunct Mercury, and is a time of massive downloads of wisdom & cosmic-intelligence, which will greatly facilitate the flow of 5D (or 5th dimensional) energies for our ascension into 5D consciousness. This is a time of huge transformation for all species. “Hidden or unconscious ego agendas will be revealed, transformed & transmuted.” Exercise caution during this new moon period, in prayers, intentions, invocations, energy work, healing; we can call on our guardian angels to surround & protect us; they will bring us insights, truth, and directions for our safety; “we need only attune and be receptive to these messages”.

The old ‘age of Pisces’ paradigm is waning; we have entered the Age of Aquarius. Adults, acting like spoiled children, even in positions of leadership, avoiding reality, and attempting to manipulate others through guilt or fear, will no longer get away with these behaviors. The outcomes of these attempts to control others will be “chaos, confusion, and potential for acting out fears, projections, and aggressions toward those deemed responsible for the situation”. Veils of illusion are dissolving, secrets are revealed; be aware of potentials, defuse the chaotic-anxiety energies of immature souls seeking to manipulate our emotions & choices; seek balance and harmony within yourself. We can choose to act, not react. We must take responsibility for our own actions & choices, and reach deep within to find an unconditional love for self and all humanity. There is a huge move toward authenticity, away from the pretenses of “societal, familial, tribal, national, corporate, and group tactics of fake caring and pretense of doing what is in people’s best interest”. We will cease to give our money or efforts to those energies or beliefs as we discern life-affirming empowerment, harmony, love, and gain a higher sense of empathy for the true welfare of humankind. “Creativity, expansion and growth will be birthed into the third dimension on Earth”, in this transformational Soul-Heart renaissance, where our unique gifts & talents will be encouraged to blossom, evolve & flourish.

“The full moon in Gemini opposes the Sun and the galactic center in Sagittarius squared by Neptune in Pisces with Venus going retrograde in Capricorn until the cosmic equinox of January 28. There is a fire-trine between Mars in Sagittarius, Chiron in Aries, and Vulcanus in Leo, and Venus conjunct Pluto in Capricorn, signaling the beginning of five weeks when seeing through all illusions, fantasies, and delusions is necessary. This will give clarity & insight about who & what is viable, valuable, and worth empowering energetically, and who & what is best allowed to fade, dissolve and disappear. Only through the honest and authentic expression and communication of Eros will, who and what you value and love, determine which bridge to cross over the chasm of fear, fantasy, and delusion and into a space of wisdom, truth and unconditional love.” Learn to trust your inner wisdom that empowers your direction, and brings healing & rebirth, and strengthens your ability to see the opportunities presented to you. “The Capricorn-Earth solstice on December 21 at 8:04 a.m. PST has the Sun conjunct Eros; Mercury in Capricorn trine Uranus in Taurus square Saturn in Aquarius; a grand trine between Mars in Sagittarius, Chiron in Aries, and Vulcanus in Leo; and Venus’s continuing conjunction to Pluto in Capricorn. This brings huge oracular-Earth messages to every sacred spot on Earth.” Be open & receptive to receiving these messages, for your locale and on a wider global scale. “With the Moon in Cancer trine Neptune in Pisces, beware of the potential for emotional illusions or delusions when old frameworks are projected on new, incoming visions and oracular messages. This is truly an Eros-Earth love time with the stellium of planets in Capricorn: the Sun, Eros, Mercury, Pluto, and Venus. Take time to celebrate joy, love, and gratitude for being on Earth now. Remember that what you feed and empower with thoughts, words, actions, and emotions multiplies exponentially. Feed the love.” ***** MERRY CHRISTMAS Friends, and prayers for a joyful, healthy, prosperous, successful, and truly transformative 2022 New Year, wherein the ascension energies of 5D will lift us, if we so choose, into higher states of consciousness! NAMASTE!

The New McCarthyism

The Infrastructure, Investment & Jobs Act was signed into law 11/15/21, by President Biden, with the help of 13 House Republicans, who are now being threatened with punishment by Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy, and whose lives are being threatened by domestic terrorists. The 19 Senate Republicans who voted for the bill, including McConnell & Romney, were proud of their votes for legislation providing new or improved roads, bridges, ports, airports, expanding public transit, upgrading the power grid, replacing pipes to ensure safe drinking water, creating a national network of EV chargers for modern vehicles, buses & ferries, extending broadband to rural areas to provide high-speed internet for communications, education, online-telemedicine services, and LOTS of jobs. This is what progress looks like. And the same failed-leader, McCarthy, who would NOT speak out against fellow House Republican, Paul Gosar, for creating & tweeting out an animated-video depicting Gosar assassinating fellow Congresswoman, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-NY, and threatening President Biden, found his voice to rebuke & threaten 13 representatives who voted for public-works projects & jobs for Americans, the new ‘McCarthyism’.

McCarthy failed to even open an ethics hearing on Gosar, so House Speaker, Nancy Pelosi, took action, and the House voted on Nov 17, 223 to 207 to publicly censure Paul Gosar and remove him from the House Oversight, and Natural Resources committees he sat on. Liz Cheney & Adam Kinzinger voted for his censure also. Gosar defended his extremely-disturbing ‘violent-porn anime’ as a cartoon & a joke (that he & his goverment-paid aides, salaries paid by our tax dollars, created). Gosar was so unrepentant that he re-tweeted the scandalous, and possibly criminal video immediately after his censure! We’ve seen that these kinds of words & actions incite violence against lawmakers & all other Americans. We’ve seen that many thousands of our fellow-Americans seem to have dangerous personality-disorders; Gosar’s siblings have been televised, stating their brother has mental-emotional issues and shouldn’t be in Congress, as if we can’t all discern that, but the Congressional right-wing troll-caucus seems to have no bottom, no low that’s too low to sink to. And in case y’all missed it, thousands of QAnon followers gathered this month at Dealey Plaza awaiting the reappearance of JFK, and JFK Jr, who are prophesied to come back from the dead (date keeps changing), and though they were Democrats, will somehow be on Trump’s side, helping in the movement to return Donald Trump to power soon or in 2024. ‘QAnon Shaman’ was sentenced: 41 months in prison. Kafkaesque Lunatic-fringe!
