The Age of Pisces

"I Believe"

Contemplating the level of consciousness on the planet currently it is obvious that we are still in the age of Pisces. According to precession we have been in this age for 2,000 years, and my calculations put us around 6 degrees of Pisces. This is called the Precession of the Equinoxes and this is what astrologers use to determine the ages of mankind. As we progress through all the signs of the zodiac we experience different ages based on the meanings of all the zodiacal signs. It will take about 24,000 to 26,000 years to travel through all the signs. This is the evolution of humanity. Precession of the Equinoxes travels backwards in the zodiac. It takes about 72 years to move only one degree. So there are 6 degrees left to finish out the age of Pisces before we begin the Age of Aquarius, therefore 6 degrees of Pisces X 72 years = 432. So this means we have around 432 years left in the age of Pisces. So it is the "Dawning of the Age of Aquarius" for this long. Sorry I wish we were closer as the song implies of the late sixties “This is the Dawning of the Age of Aquarius”.

Understanding that we are in the age of Pisces for a while, let's analyze what we are here to learn from it. The saying for Pisces is “I Believe”. It began with the appearance of Jesus Christ. This set off the entire wave of consciousness in terms of Christianity. All the churches were built in Europe, and here in Texas there is a church on almost every corner. The fish is the symbol for both Pisces and Christianity. According to an interesting movie I just saw, “Religulous” with Bill Maher, the savior phenomenon is a story that precedes every culture and religions from the beginning of time. The savior phenomenon in which was even portrayed in the movie Tommy I wrote about in my last newsletter is very Piscean. For it depicts that there is a God outside ourselves, who has all the qualities of man and who can save us from all the dire consequences of this mean and hateful world. I guess this story will always exist as long as people perceive God as an external being who saves us. This concept is exactly what we are here to learn and the message of our time currently couldn’t be clearer. The whole Christ story told from many perspectives represents the victim mentality. That you must seek outside yourself for answers and you are not responsible for the conditions in your life, someone else caused you to be unhappy. The only real sense of security comes from the belief that if you believe, (there is that word) in Jesus Christ as your savior then you will go to heaven forever. I wish it could be that easy! But with these kinds of beliefs we have built many churches that have no tolerance for differing beliefs. The fact is, in the age of Pisces we have attached ourselves to our beliefs to save us from the outside world. Every religion believes that their way is the only way, and they are the only ones who hold the truth. This has become very dangerous. For throughout the age of Pisces people have killed others based on their religious beliefs. In the Age of Aquarius things will be very different, and the history of our era will seem very primitive. Our fascination with killing others, war, and our means of entertainment will seem very barbaric as well. Sorry guys, in the future I don’t see kids playing video games where in order to win you have to shoot and kill people, or even sports where for one side to win, the other has to lose. The Age of Aquarius will be a time where others recognize our likenesses instead of having an intolerance of the differences. I know we are not yet in the Age of Aquarius but we can now recognize the path we are headed towards. The saying for Aquarius is “I know”. This means the truth of this world will be known and there will be no more blind faith in beliefs that are destructive to humanity.

What is a belief? A belief is an opinion that appears to be a truth to the individual. Beliefs are formed by events that happen to us that evoke an emotional response. A belief is formed and begins to formulate our lives. As we believe in something, the emotional response seems to be consistent with the results perceived. Some beliefs are taught at a very early age such as religious beliefs. We become our beliefs and to shake them or threaten them with opposing or contrary beliefs threatens our sense of who we are. We all have our own beliefs. What we believe gives us our sense of security. The problem here is there is no real security. Nothing lasts forever. Our security gives us a sense of protection. But we really have no control over this. We must find ways to alleviate our fear of the unknown. This is a very scary place to be for we have no control over the events that can happen to us. Our beliefs give us a sense of security in this unpredictable world.

I am writing about beliefs because of the recent political race. I have come to understand that our own personal beliefs became a part of the dichotomy of this recent frenzy. My mother always said, "Never talk religion or politics if you want to win friends and influence people." I just never understood why people became so emotionally vested in their political views. I do understand the emotional reactions people have when their religious beliefs are threatened, because it threatens the core of their security or beliefs. But I never put this in perspective with people’s political views. What I have come to understand now, is that political views are the same as their religious views. I now understand that someone’s religious views and the political views are based on the same thing, their beliefs.

The whole premise of the American political arena is based on two opposites, republican (conservative) and democrat (liberal). This creates the polarizing of our nation and world. It seems the best we can do with the level of consciousness currently, but ultimately we must find balance and follow the path of detachment from the extremes toward any political side.

Last year Jupiter was in Sagittarius and will change into Capricorn on December 9th 2008, where it will remain most of the year. Jupiter is powerful in the sign Sagittarius because it is in its own sign of rulership. Jupiter rules Sagittarius. I have come to understand that it means fanaticism in religious beliefs. This past year there has been a strong fanaticism with beliefs. I see it externalized itself through politics. Whenever there is fanaticism there is chaos, for there is no balance. The rise and fall of the stock market is based on the emotional climate of the masses, and with the emotional extremes this produced the volatility of markets. Why is there so much fanaticism? Because there is so much fear! Why is there so much fear? Because there is an intolerance of others beliefs! So why do people become intolerant of others beliefs? Because it threatens their beliefs! If we were secure in our beliefs then others beliefs would not threaten us. But the fact of the matter is, we are all at a crises point where our old beliefs don’t fit in with our reality any more. As a child you didn’t question your beliefs. It would have been unheard of to do so. But now we have a new spirituality emerging that looks at these myths differently, and there is a breakdown of most religions. People are losing their faith in a belief that gave them a sense of security.

What is happening now is our beliefs are being threatened. Our beliefs are what give us our sense of security. Our beliefs are being challenged from a political front as well as a religious front. Beliefs in religion and politics are the same. We hold passionately to our beliefs because it is at the core of who we are and we do not like to be invalidated. We especially do not like to be wrong.

There was the same emotional volatility of the 1960’s. I was a child of the 60s and remember with great emotion the events. I think I have a particular understanding since I remember the day President Kennedy was assassinated. Remember I am from Dallas, Texas! The day he came to Dallas on November 22, 1963 there was much excitement in our home. My mother adored him and took my 2 older sisters Marsha and Carol out of school to go greet him at the airport, Dallas Love Field. Not long ago I have seen footage of him walking off the airplane at Love Field and the first person he walks to shake their hand was my sister Carol ,who in the footage jumps up and down with excitement. My mother was even in old pictures shaking his hand at Love Field. This was the most joyful day in my mother’s life and at the same time the saddest day all wrapped up in one. They proceeded to follow him to be in the crowds while he paraded through downtown Dallas, where the unthinkable occurred. I remember being in school watching the television in our classroom. The sadness in the nation was overwhelming. To avoid the unthinkable again we must change our fanatical beliefs. No one person will be able to change the momentum of the country.

When I wrote this newsletter on November 18th, I was possessed to write this part about President Kennedy’s visit to Dallas, TX. November 22, 1963. I didn’t know why I was compelled to write about my personal experience on that day because at the time I didn't think I would be using it in the newsletter. But later on that night my son Preston sent me a link to a clip of the exact scene I wrote about in explicit detail earlier, the scene where Kennedy walks over to my sisters and mother and shakes their hand. In this clip, the first person he walks up to was my sister Carol. Understand, I wrote this part in the morning, not knowing why I was compelled to write about this. Then that very evening after writing this my son sent me this clip from 1963, unaware that I wrote about this scene earlier that day. I feel it is yet another omen (the 3rd Omen, the previous 2 are in my November newsletter) indicating the trends of things to come. I did feel like I was in the “Twilight Zone”. Here are his note and the video.

From Preston, "I thought you would like the 6th minute of this clip."

The astrological trends of events and the social climate in this world, particularly in America, are moving us toward destruction. As an astrologer, I have always felt that it is my responsibility to reveal what I see. But, for now I completely understand why Nostradamus had to write in quatrains so that the public could not understand exactly what he saw. As a mystic and astrologer, I am going to encourage and guide you in ways that you can change the outcome for the next few years.

We really need to find balance. That is the only way we can avert the destruction facing this world. This polarized view is going to create the mass confusion, chaos and further the economic crisis in our country. If you consider yourself a light-worker who wants positive changes for our country and our world then you cannot participate in the extremist opinions of either political side. We need to watch that our judgments do not turn into resentments that could separate us from the truth. The need to be right must not outweigh the need to be compassionate and loving.

Those of you who participated in the extreme judgments of any of the political candidates, must see that your righteousness is contributing to the mass extremes that will keep our nation in a polarity and cause our ultimate destruction. Practice patience, balance and compassion. Do not listen to the biased opinions of the media, or extremist for either side. If you are getting emotionally involved in any of the political opinions either way please detach yourself. This is the only way you are going to have an effect on future trends. We do not want the stars to play out the way that the indications suggest. I have made some very strong predictions in my last newsletter and in this current 2009 predictions that may be realized if we do not make a conscious effort to change our feelings, attitudes and opinions. The masses are fixated on looking to the current new Presidential regime to cure all our problems. The slogan was “Change”. But how can we have change when we have not changed? The definition of insanity is expecting a different result when you keep doing the same thing. It is a time to seek balance. Balance is the ultimate lesson in this world.

There is no real security in this world, but only through the belief and trust in our own Divine power that we have come to learn and grow in conscious awareness. It is time to connect to your higher self. Take time out in meditation daily, and most of all I encourage everyone to connect to the subconscious through one's own dreams. We do just as much growth in our sleep as we do on a conscious level and if you can learn to use the dream state to connect to your higher self you will grow spiritually by leaps and bounds. While we are sleeping is a time we are in touch with our subconscious and it will give direction through the vast powerful tool of symbology. Dreams have been used and revered throughout the ancient times. You will begin to see the omens being revealed in your conscious waking hours and begin to trust in the Divine spirit’s presence in your daily life. Awake or asleep, this will give you the sense of security that everything will always be as it should be, no matter what happens it is for your highest good. Everything is for our growth, as individual souls and as members of humanity. We must understand this and embrace it. The astrological positions of the stars and planets can be read in this way.

Let’s work together as spiritual light-workers to change our conscious awareness to shift this possible outcome. If you are able to disconnect from the anger of the current world situation of the economics currently then you will find that the loss will not affect you; but the more you attach yourself to the extremes in the economy the more loss you will experience. This is the law of attraction. These times of loss, destruction and economic ruin will be heightened if you participate in this mass pandemonium. But if you do not surrender to the trends, you can be part of the light-workers who turn things around for a spiritual revolution. This spiritual revolution is not based on religious beliefs. It is based on releasing the need to be right. In the Course of Miracles, the saying, “Would you rather be right or would you rather be happy?” couldn’t be clearer for the simple choice we must make. This is a marvelous time for a spiritual awakening!

2009 is a great year of change! The Obama key word for Change couldn’t have been more appropriate. There are multitudes of planetary aspects that are a once in a lifetime occurrence. For those who are fixated in the materialistic world, this will be a year of destitution and great loss. For those who are focused on the spiritual evolution of the planet this will be a year of great revolutions and transformations. This is the year of the great “Awakening." Never again in our lifetime will things be this volatile. This is a great cleansing that needs to occur. If you can focus on the good that is going to come out of this year, instead of the tragedy, you will be transformed as a spirit. Focus on the mass fear and you will be destitute.

People are projecting fear, anger, and mistrust. These are the attributes our leaders are about, because the world leaders are a reflection of the masses. People are hoping the next political regime will save us, but the fear and anger are still there. Unless you can let go of your blame, fear and anger, it will again be projected and become the blame outside of ourselves when it is only we who have created it all along. Look at the external world as a projection of what is within each of us, and see the lessons we must grow through as a part of humanity. You will begin to see that there really is nothing out there, but rather within yourself. This is a very empowering thought to realize as you change your mind. Change your thoughts and you will change yourself and the world. The external drama is here to teach us how we can grow and become more conscious.

The most important transit of 2009 is the conjunction of Jupiter with Rahu which occurs February 14th. Jupiter will briefly enter Aquarius May through July and conjunct Neptune. This can go two ways. Neptune can mean a deep spiritual experience or mass deception. I believe there will be two groups of people in the world; the deeply delusional swayed by everything in the media, and the deeply spiritual who are anchored in the truth of the spiritual advancement of this planet. The deceivers will play on people’s emotions which are attached to their beliefs. Their philosophy is based on fear. This can cause the uprising of many cults and fanatics wrapped up in radical beliefs.

March is a monumental month for change! Radical shifts and explosive events! The economy, the government, the stock market…everything will reach a bottom or an extreme. There may be a major attack that will be a shock to hit our nation and the world. This is the turning point, for things will never be the same after this month.

The summer months will be chaotic culminating into more shifts and transformations in July and August. The July solar eclipse will produce massive changes again that will promote great fear. The government is in shambles and cannot recover from the devastating downturns of the economy and radical means are taken. Political leader’s lives are threatened.

September 9^th Saturn will enter into Virgo which will give more organization and structure to the world and government. Saturn’s sojourn through Leo with Ketu focuses on the shift of leaders in the world. Now it is time to get the work done and clean up all the extremes and excesses. The truth will be revealed. The truth is not based on fear, and gives a sense of freedom and new possibilities.

In November Rahu and Ketu will enter into the Sagittarius and Gemini axis. As Rahu nears the Galactic Center with Pluto, expect another awakening. It may be ugly, for the truth will uncover many ulterior motives to which the masses have been blinded.

Understand what you want to change. Don’t repeat this word “Change” without a clear picture of what you want to change. To seek “change” at any cost just because you don’t like the way things are going is very dangerous, for it is an angry response with no direction. Be focused as to exactly what it is you want to change. Obama uses the words Change, Believe and Hope without any definition of these key words. It is left open to the masses to project their own interpretations of what those words mean to each individual. Each person projects their own version of what these words mean to them. This is very empowering to each individual for this is why the masses have such great appeal for Obama. Obama states John McCain represents the old and no change. This was a powerful image to instill in the minds of all who are so disenfranchised and disillusioned with their lives and the world. He asserts that the government and current policies are the cause for all our problems, and is to blame for all the conditions we am experiencing. Remember NOBODY has made you do anything, made you feel a certain way, or is the cause for the unhappiness in your life.

But, Obama can save us from this imminent destruction with hope of a change we can believe in. This is dangerous! For as in all the stories of the savior, they come to realize he cannot do it for them. If people want change in their lives they must do it for themselves. So as the story goes they turn on the perceived savior and kill him. They attach themselves to someone outside of themselves to save them, taking no real responsibilities of their own. This is the lesson of our time in the age of Pisces. The question is, will we ever get it? I believe once we do get this message we will quit attaching ourselves to the messenger and truly overcome our need to be saved, because we will begin saving ourselves. This is the theme in all religions and all the myths, cartoons and fairy tales of this age. This is truly the lesson of our time. It was the theme in Mighty Mouse, “Here I come to save the day.” Popeye, Olive Oil, “Help Popeye Save me,” and Superman, to name a few. Once we can take responsibility to save ourselves, our lives will be in control and it will work! We will attain our goals. We cannot expect or depend on any outside source to do it for us. It is so simple; the message has always been the same.

This is our lesson on Earth in the age of Pisces! The world is but an illusion created by our thoughts. Begin to think and believe in the power you possess, and you will be a creator of the new world of love and compassion. Take a good look at yourself and see what you are projecting. You must be the change you desire and want. We are co-creating a world of destruction with our destructive thoughts, particularly the thoughts of victimization. Remember, victims never get anywhere nor get what they want. By taking back your control and putting yourself in the driver’s seat of your own life, you will begin to drive your life in the direction you want to go. Be responsible for your own actions. Don’t blame others for the short comings in your life, for it is nobody’s fault but yours. With this new awareness you will achieve all your goals and acquire everything that you want or desire. This is the powerful message of our time on this planet. It is being projected so clearly in this current political arena. The message of "Change" you can believe in, and in hope, comes only through yourself. Once you believe in yourself you will see the change you had hoped for!
