In December 2004 a Tsunami washed over the Indian Ocean and killed over 230,000
in 14 countries of a poor and struggling people in every area.

On August 29,2005 a hurricane that devastated New Orleans and the Mississippi Gulf Coast, again mostly hurting the poor and struggling, as nearly 2,000 bodies floated in the flood waters and thousands never returning to New Orleans because a lack of funds to rebuild.

In 2008 this country undertook an effort to provide health care insurance that would save the lives of thousands of people struggling to provide their own health care, it would impact several million people in the US and come close to leveling the playing field for all; 2009 sees us coming close to that end and 2010 is coming close to killing the whole bill.

January 2010 is seeing the eruption of Hell on Earth in Haiti, carrying thousands on that "Soul Train" that has taken so many already. Thousands are lying dead in streets as relative and friends frantically try to find them a place for a burial; thousands of dead are lying under rubble that will no doubt become their burial ground as those who have raced to help them, are having problems with distribution. Most of us sit by helpless to know what to do or how to help, and the poorest people in the Western Hemisphere have hardly if any resources to help themselves. I heard one reporter say "these are people who were on their knees before and are now prostrate" All I can add to that is "let us pray, let us send light, let us send energy, let us send positive thoughts; whatever power we believe in, let us send it.

There is a lot of lore around a Blue Moon and one of them has been set to music as addressed in the title of these 2010 predictions. As many of you know there is a Lunar Eclipse associated to this Blue Moon which just means the second full moon in a month. What could be positive and what could be negative in this Blue Moon?

I hope everyone had a wonder Christmas, a loving, calm, quiet Christmas full of joy and good cheer. I did not thanks to the transiting Sun conj. Pluto, square Saturn which was opposing my Moon with Pluto and the Sun squaring my Moon. Oh what a day Christmas Eve was, at least I was not on a plane. For me, everything that could go wrong did go wrong, all I touched turned into a disaster and I'm still not doing so well today. The worst was I opened the oven door to see how my rolls were coming and the "glass" dishes they were in came flying out, burnt my arm and leg and "broke" the dishes (something I will have to live with until I get some new ones; thanks Saturn) Oh and my battery died, I had to make three batches of my grandmother's cookies, peanut brittle and toffee, recipes I never had a problem with, but I ruined them this year. Those are just some little things, but this is an idea of the day.

A word from Sally.

This is the season of Hope and Miracles or at least we all hold a secret wish, even the most cynical of us celebrating Christmas, Hanukkah, Kwanzaa, Las Posadas even New Year's, look up to the stars and what or who is out there we don't understand, or cannot see; is there something or someone out there dispensing hope and miracles and will they dispense them our way? We look for love, and health and prosperity for ourselves and our loved ones; financial security, a job, a new house, a promotion, a child coming home from college or a trip, or the war it's the "coming home safe" that matters; we want peace on earth and "Johnny wants a pair of skates and Suzie wants a dolly, Nellie wants a story book, she thinks dolls are folly" But we peek at the sky and kind of sort of hope our little wish our little miracle would, could be answered or sent, that is if someone is really truly out there that believe in Christmas, Hanukkah, Kwanzaa and Las Posadas plus all the other December holidays that are out there and keep us believing.

Are we irritated, aggravated, agitated, and spitting angry?

New Moon 24 Scorpio

The New Moon/Sun just lit the fuse of the American People as it made a square with us. While these Greater Luminaries hid out in the US 12th House their energies fed into a square with the People, the US n. Moon. Transiting Mercury has talking heads spinning. Voices, thousands, millions bombarding their Congress Critters, their Senators, the POTUS and everyone associated with policy with their emails, phone calls, petitions and demonstrations. During the last phase of the Moons cycle we saw the public clamor explode over Dobbs racism and anti-immigrant statements, his bald faces lies underlying his unhinged obession and hatred of President Obama and his new policies has abruptly departed CNN. CNN once known as the most trusted finds itself only a notch above the Faux News channel in credibility. The power of the consumer who boycotts the advertisers who support hate speech found droves of customers rejecting their products. Bang those pots and pans, make a loud noise as Molly Ivins so often encouraged us to do. The Grass Roots are growing.

This was the last time the Stock Market passed 10,000; passed on a Saturn/Neptune Aquarius/Taurus square at 3 degrees; a sure sign of a foundation built on sand and the sand is running out. On November 12/1999 Bill Clinton signed into law the repeal of the Glass Steagall Act that a GOP Congress and Senate passed into law. This time it was on a Saturn/Uranus square from Aquarius to Taurus at 13 degrees, another sign of a fight for a shift in the status quo resulting in a redistribution of wealth and the good times begin to roll.

Yesterday on the 17th of September with astrologers and psychics galor warning of "something happening" on this dire day of Saturn and the Sun opposing Uranus, "something did happen" and you might want to pay attention to how it unfolds.

First up, Dr. Charles Krauthammer when on Fox News to frantically tell folks how Obama is a liberal in the worst sense of the word. He wants to re-distribute the wealth to spread around instead of keeping it in the hands of those who made money, he wants fair play in this country and to "gasp" help the poor and take us back to a liberal nation.

Strike two: Obama tells Wall Street on the afternoon of the 16th, the party is over, if he means it that signals he has fulfilled his obligation the the previous administration which is where TARP was born and nurtured; Obama seems to be signaling that obligation has been filled. Credit card companies have been put on notice, this week the attorney general of NY has started investigations into the "too large to fail banks." And our new Supreme Court Justice Sotomayor has begun questioning the May 10, 1886 law in California making corporations equal and above people opening the door to the suppression of the people and the elevation of the corporation and their dominion over the government through their money and raised power. It was the beginning of the control of the military/industrial complex that every president, Democratic and Republican has warned against ever since - until we got to Ronald Reagan and the last 29 years. And now a Supreme Court Justice has said it's was a mistake and the wrong law. A shot across the bow, maybe a first shot but a shot.

Universal Health care seemed to be bookmarked by Teddy Roosevelt on one end who introduced the concept first, to another Teddy, Teddy Kennedy, who may have taken the concept with him.

I don't intend to write about Ted Kennedy, I could not improve on all that's been said and written. He started as the petted spoiled baby in a family of wealth and privilege and ended as perhaps one of the greatest friend and liberal voice of the people. The fight of his life was for health care for all, he never wavered from that dream and now that voice is silent when we need it most. My hope is his voice will still carry across that divide so that some, enough, will hear him.

Teddy Roosevelt and Teddy Kennedy is not who I will be writing about, I will save that for another time, but I am going to address Pluto in Capricorn and the messengers that are accompaning him along with Mercury Retrograde which hovers over Adonis, the largest black hole in the Universe with Pluto and Mars in a square. In September 1993 Bill Clinton chose this ill fated time to present his health care plan to the nation, if he had won he would have created one of the largest bureaucracies in the history of this nation (Alex Miller-Mignone from The Black Hole Book) In Sept. 1993 Pluto and Saturn were in a square from Aquarius to Scorpio, now Neptune conjoins the Saturn end in Aquarius and squares the Pluto end. Health Care looks a bit sick at this point. Still, there is an opportunity to pull a Rabbit out from the Alice In Wonderland rabbit hole.
