Egyptian astrologers taught that the sun, moon, and five visible planets wer symbols and expressions of the seven primary color rays. All physical forms were said to correspond to, and be rooted in, one or another of these seven basic energies or powers. Let's review the ancient order of these celestial bodies and their affinities in color, number, and geometric form.

The priests of Ra counted the Moon as the first planet. The moon signified the violet ray, and harmonized with the intermediate colors red/orange and yellow/orange. Seven was the number of the moon, with the heptagon and seven-pointed star as her forms.

Mercury, the planet of Thoth, was next...

This month we are going to experience a wild ride which has its astrological seeds planted in the 1960's. That's when Uranus (revolution) and Pluto (transformation) were in Virgo (perfectionism) and initiated a time of social upheaval. Many in society were galvanized to work toward stopping the Vietnam War, establishing Race/Gender Equality and actually altering our culture as we knew it. On the way to achieving many of the wished for goals, there was a great deal of turmoil, violence and divisiveness which forced us to re-evaluate our values and world views. Although this process was painful, the opportunities for personal growth made it all a blessing.

Now to our current situation. Uranus (revolution) in Aries (aggressive) and Pluto (rebirth) in Capricorn (foundations) have been annoying each other big time since 2012. They each want to create change but have different agendas as to how it should come about.

Many people have said that as of 12.21.2013 Mother Earth is waking up to the new energy patterns. I would like to reaffirm my devotion to our Great Mother but I'm seeing her as a whole new Mother and she is ready to move into action.

The new Mother seems to me to be much more vibrant and clear thinking. The older one is to be greatly honored for her endurance, patience and acceptance and for all she has given us, but the new one seems less tolerant. She seems less forgiving and she seems to be more strict as to what she will allow. She doesn't like being violated and she won't permit more of the atrocities that have been displayed in the past.
