A faith that moves mountains

The big optimistic guy, Jupiter, is still in wise-money Taurus (until June 11, 2012) helping us get our house of resources in order. This week we get a benevolent boost of ambition when Generous Jupiter gets exactly in sync with Powerful Pluto in Capricorn on Friday, October 28th. Together, they are the faith that moves mountains. But, moves them where?

The Sun often sheds the light that points us in the right direction. The Sun is spending it's last week in Libra singing a dream into life with poetic, compassionate Neptune. The god of the sea continues to catch his breath in one-for-all-and-all-for-one Aquarius until February. Now is a perfect time for quietly tuning-in to your spiritual reality, and preparing yourself for Scorpio's depths which begin Sunday, October 23rd (much more sleuth work ahead!).

An example that Aquarian ideals for humanity are on the rise is the vision given us by 20/20's recent showcase of the ignored plight of the Pine Ridge Indian Reservation in South Dakota. There, before our collective eyes, we see a poverty-stricken community housing a handsome young warrior with dreams of becoming the first Indian President. Just when we might be thinking that dream is dead...

Uranus in Aires will guarantee that the face of the renovated future will be a revolutionary change. I often feel tempted to pump life into a dead idea, to revert to the comfort of a familiar habit, to wish I could do-over the past somehow. But I end up in an exhausted, depressing dead end. Like the farmer who tried to help our economy by hiring more "Americans" to harvest his crops, using fewer Mexican "immigrants," and found himself out on a rotting limb. Aquarius is always without borders.

My grandson is such a wise young man. Once upon a time at our family dinner table there was a discussion about the politically correct names for various cultural groups. Suddenly his innocent clear voice said, "why do we have to name them anything?" Aren't we all just humans trying to be--free?
