The Patterns Are Becoming Clear…

I’ve been thinking obsessively the past month about the economy and the danger signs I saw back in the spring about another economic meltdown. Because I’m not an economist I wasn’t exactly sure how or why this would occur. A feeling and some astrological back-up to that intuition was all I had to go on. But patterns I’ve been seeing have started to become clearer about how and why the breakdown will occur. The pieces: 1. Because the US (and the world) has been so divided – left and right – the 2008 meltdown was only given a band-aid remedy. After the crash of 1929, and the subsequent Great Depression that ensued, massive sweeping changes were made to protect the US from another financial meltdown. These measures where based on a relatively simple principle most kids learn subconsciously from the game of Monopoly. Money could not be coagulated into the hands of a very few or it would choke the entire economy. This idea was worn down over time by the false equivalency to communism. Communism of course was equated with the enemy and everything evil. Generations of Americans grew up under the shadow of nuclear annihilation under the threat of the Communists. While the enmity was real the understanding of their alternate system was flawed for a number of reasons. The first being the faultiness of the Soviet’s governance of that system. Allowing a few people to control all the resources (in their case the government – in our case corporations and wealthy plutocrats) led to exactly what one would expect a corruption of power. I don’t need to repeat the adage we all know so I won’t. During most of the mid-century however we did not have “pure capitalism” in fact we had a system much closer to Europe’s because FDR played a huge hand in resetting up these countries constitutions after WWII. For all intents and purposes we had a socialist democracy where their was a social net set-up for the poorest people. The wealthy paid 90% tax, unions were strong and protected the rights of workers and college was close to free (and for many Pluto in Leo’s their college loans were never repaid – making their education a gift from the US government.) The economy from the end of WWII until the 1970s was stable and incredibly strong. And then the unraveling began. Greed. The wealthy got tired of being merely wealthy among the throngs of upstart middle-classers. That wasn’t a high enough place to be I guess just wealthy – not enough one has to not just have most of the nuts but all the nuts – mad squirrel disease as I like to call it – the pathological need to acquire everything. It simply wouldn’t do to live in a society where everyone was doing really well and perhaps your osn or daughter would go to harvard next to a factory workers son and then fall in love. Dear me the entire social fabric was falling apart due to those scary middle-class hippie kids who had no regard for the social order. Conservatives decided to fight back. It was a double edge insult to their lifestyle and threatened everything they valued. Hence the fight to come after the glow of the 1960s. But back to… The failure of both systems – Communism and Capitalism – greed. Neither take this fundamental human pathology into account. And although the 80s tried to sell us on the idea of greed being good and a pure marketplace where corporations would magically police themselves – anyone who has even the tiniest bit of street smarts and/or understanding of human psychology knows that a fox should never be guarding a hen house as the old saying goes. We can’t expect to put a freshly baked box of cookies next to a hungry toddler – leave him to guard it indefinitely and expect to come back to find none missing. Especially if we continue to do this and there are no repercussions when the toddler starts taking them. Eventually the kid doesn’t think about it anymore and it just becomes a given that stealing from the pile is part of what you do. Taking regulations away and dismantling unions allows corporations and wall street to go unchecked. Just like our Democracy has been set-up to have checks and balances (which we are now seeing needs some modern adjustments) so power was never put entirely in one individual or groups hands for fear of corruption – the same holds even more true for the resources of the earth. Historically those who control the resources control the power. We saw the end of soviet communism and thought we had “won.” But in reality the very thing that crushed their system will crush ours but it will come from the private side rather than the government side since our government has become a side show to the real power allowed to run amok via the Supreme Court’s rulings on everything from not counting votes to Citizens United to their ruling on the most recent Hobby Lobby case allowing corporation shareholders’ religious preferences to trump everyone else in the corporation – whereby creating a surf-like relationship between corporate heads and their employees. (If you look at it ideologically without the divisive sunglasses of pro-life vs. pro-choice – one can clearly see it as a crack in the protection of the individual’s rights vs. corporate rights – there are more cases than this which I could point to having to do with intellectual property that also give more latitude to corporations and less to private individuals so it’s not just this case I’m going on here but that’s a whole other post.) I used to refer to the pathological sort of greed (found in the one percent of the human population) as “mad squirrel disease.” But I’ve come to realize it’s actually more sinister than that just look at the Koch Brothers. Now let me break it down in real time rather than history: 1. We have a low wage service based economy. Since Nixon opened trade relations with China the lions share of jobs shifted from factories to service as China took on manufacturing. With the advent of the Internet the 1990s economy had the advantage of a strong intellectual property economy fortifying the service economy. Things like Napster started a trend toward an everything-is-free trend which eroded intellectual property for everyone except large corporations and eventually led the feed cycle to an almost exclusive service based economy. Other than construction, the small manufacturing sector, small percentages of actual farmers (2%), nearly all jobs are related to serving whether that is being a doctor, teacher, law enforcer, IT specialist, waiter, clerk, accountant, real estate agent or financial broker – these jobs only exist to serve. The safest jobs during a major downturn are those connected to the community like police officer and perhaps even doctor due to need. But a serious downturn or depression would ELIMINATE the need for nearly ALL OTHER JOBS. Food, shelter and basic needs are all people spend money on in a major downturn or depression. This would choke people’s ability to spend on anything except the necessities which we are seeing in slow motion right now despite all the BS about the stock market. The reason the low wage part is such an aggregant (CEOs and wealthy 1 percenters take notice) is the inability for people (which is a huge percentage of people) to buy goods and services and the inevitability of that huge percentage of people to slip into abject poverty and out of the economy completely if a major downturn/depression were to occur. Now that the social net is broken the devastation of economic free fall would be truly horrifying. 2. We thought we solved the problem. The 2008 meltdown was an opportunity to right the boat but we didn’t take it. We put up a slipshod band-aid that will eventually bleed out and slip off. The bail out was the right thing to do at the time BUT IT SHOULD HAVE BEEN FOLLOWED UP BY REAL REFORM! The banks should have had to pay back the money with interest and they should have reinstated old monopoly regulations and broken them apart. In fact all the mergers and acquisitions and centralizing of corporate power should be reversed if we are to survive a global financial meltdown. The reason being if all the dinosaurs are roped together and one falls down – they all fall down. If one dinosaur falls down and dies, well it just goes back into the life cycle. An economy can happily recover after the death of one giant. It can even thrive as its broken apart into smaller pieces and redistributed but if the thing is so massive as to encompass the earth and all its people, well, then it’s not survivable. Instead of diversifying everything and locking down the hatches by cracking down on criminal behavior and kicking Wall Street out of the country’s financial governance, we gave the dinosaur a big meal, slapped a bandage on him and ignored the whole thing. In the mean time the country became extremely divided and entropy set into politics. Anything that could or should have done couldn’t be done. Alas we have a serious problem about to unfold. 3. Global connectivity: that which has been sown must be reaped… We have a global economy. Corporations are making record profits connecting to markets everywhere. Yeay! If your a shareholder or CEO of one of those corporations. Well, at least that has been the case. All those new people around the world mean new costumers right? Right? Yeah and new liabilities. Just as we tanked the world economy with our housing bubble, guess what can happen if theirs a bubble in say China? Hmm… coincidentally their is a bubble in China a HUGE BUBBLE. Two words. Ghost Cities. Heard of them? This bubble will make our bubble look like we did it with a piece of chewing gum. Terrifying when it bursts and it will. The epicenter of this seems extremely volatile when I tap into this I get very scared. It feels like intense chaos, violence and its tentacles are everywhere. The growing middle-class in China had no other thing to invest their newly won money in except real estate so… they built whole cities, infrastructures, shopping malls, parks, malls where no human (other than the builders) ever set foot and still haven’t set foot. They have a unique conundrum. Those who can afford to live in these new cities live elsewhere thereby displacing the poor villagers who had lived on that land and since these cities have no industry (although their are buildings there to house industry) no humans come to live in them. They are like bodies without souls. Dead. Still born without hope of life. The final component: 4) War All the conflicts going on around the world are heating up in key places. More than just losing the war in Iraq and Afghanistan – both unwinnable from the get go – we’ve shown the world we no longer have any moral authority (think torture and blowing off the geneva convention rules without any public prosecutions.) We also have a broken military unable to take on anything else after a decade of war. We have been left weak, morally, physically, economically and spiritually. Our own land torn apart by the left – right divide which has only served to hand over more power to the few leaving the masses poorer and fighting one another for scraps without a real understanding of how we’ve all been hornswaggled. So what does this mean for us? It means a real correction. We didn’t head our chance at a warning. The 2008 warning shot was forgotten as soon as the ringing in our ears wore off. It’s unfortunate that we have to learn the hard way but I’m very afraid we will have to learn the hard way. While I don’t think what hits us will look exactly like the last Great Depression it will be close. This will be the second dip we’ve all been waiting for. And it will require REAL CHANGES. Let’s hope that the next president has the ovaries to get something done. Many blessings, Denise

 

*Update I just saw a comment from Marie about a Forbes article related to this topic. I didn’t include the issues they address in it in my assessment but everything stated there is definitely another factor that I hadn’t thought about except for its relation to consumer debt. The stock market, in my opinion, has been running on the fuel of its own farts for as long as I can remember. It’s a closed loop that has taken off from any grounding it once had in reality. Check out the link she posted.

War is here… now

Here’s my answer to a reader about Donald Trump and all that he represents:

Besides Donald Trump being a dangerous horrible idiot he’s also a narcissistic egomaniac. I think he really believes he could win the presidency because he’s a dangerously delusion person. Of course he would completely ruin this country if he were elected into office because he is about as diplomatic as a live grenade. Do I think he could win? Well all I have to say is Arnold Schwarzenegger. People seem to be in love with celebrity – we have replaced the pantheon of Gods and Goddesses with morons, narcissists and idiots. Perhaps we need the old religion which had more examples and pathways to the Great Spirit. Perhaps we yearn for connection through those who mirror us. Unfortunately if this is true we are in a very sad state.

We are currently in a class war – one that dates back to the blowing open of the gates – the Watergate era, followed by the first truly corporate president Ronald Reagan. I’m not sure Reagan knew the damage he was doing. I like to believe that he was hoodwinked by the right to be the spokesman of their (internal in terms of doing it inside the government) coo without really knowing he was. His son, whom I greatly respect, is primarily the reason I believe Ronald senior was most likely a descent man used (as so many middle and lower-income people are being used now) by the wealthy to advance a truly amoral agenda.

I always scoffed at the notion of “trickle down economics” firstly because I grew up in a very affluent neighborhood (that we didn’t belong in – we lived in a townhouse on social security checks and life insurance my father had bought years before his passing when I was 10). I knew the hearts and minds of the very wealthy in ways very few are privileged to know. I knew their children who espoused their values without the crust of age and experience to keep their real feelings and philosophies covered. I heard some of the most unimaginably amoral, immoral and hideous things said as common truths – social Darwinism was a given in the most extreme sense of that statement. There was no empathy for the underprivileged, only a social club that went into the ghetto to teach illiterate children as a sort of bait and switch to their true value system which was the belief that the wealthy are better – they deserve more, they are supreme and the poor are lazy, stupid and deserve what they get even if that means suffering and death. Hideous but absolutely true – many probably won’t believe me. In fact I know people won’t believe me because I’ve been telling people, friends, descent human beings this since I was entrenched in this bizarre world where people went to church on Sunday and then sucked the earth dry of every resource in order to hoard it for themselves. Yes, it is easier to fit a camel through the eye of a needle than a wealthy man into heaven. I saw this first hand.

The first stage of the war against the poor and middle class was to dismantle the unions. Sure some were bloated, some were corrupt but lest we forget what life was like before they existed – just pick up a book by Dickens and you’ll see clearly the way the rich like it. The civil war – a rich man’s war to keep their slaves, using the poor southerners via their racism and pride as a tool against their interest (living) to fight a war that only the wealthy truly had a stake in and only the wealthy benefited from – this is a perfect example of the way many of the wealthiest one percent would like to see our country go – if they could have slaves again, they’d do it in a heartbeat, hence the dismantling of the minimum wage, next it will be age restrictions for working if they get momentum on the wage issue.

There are two kinds of rich – old money or the idle rich as I like to call them, who do nothing but live off the achievement of some great, great, great, great, grandparent who actually contributed something to the world during their time and then invested the family money for generations to inherit. These idle rich hate the “Nuevo riche” the people who newly acquire money – meaning the people who actually earned the money they became wealthy from, the Bill Gates and the Steve Jobs of this world. You know the people who actually really produce jobs for regular folks, not the people who live off the fat left over from their (once common low to middle-class) ancestors. Those “old money” people spend their days taking care of themselves and their money, buying influence, protecting their interests and making sure they can make more money in the market. It’s interesting that they are usually the very same people who accuse poor people of being lazy when truly they have no purpose on this planet and are more akin to tics than human beings. They live off all of us who actually work and keep their world moving forward. The biggest way they contribute to the economy is through buying things, fancy furniture, fine art, clothing, etc.

Now here’s the thing. The 1960s was a very scary time for them, coming off the heels of the most financial growth of anytime during American history. The middle class grew to enormous proportions, the rich got richer as did everyone. You’d think that the wealthy would look upon the economy booming and love it because it means more money in their coffers. But with more money, more education came and people started asking questions. Why do we have to fight the communists in Vietnam? Isn’t that a sovereign nation with the right to decide its own fate? Riots took place, the left became extremely radicalized and the wealthy started to become the target of the growing understanding that a capitalist culture is antithetical to democracy as it stood. Money buys influence and effects legislation. The tying together of corporate interests with the government is fascism and as we all know corporate interests are generally not in line with what’s good for the average person, such as toxic dumping, air pollution, and endless problems associated with industry. Not to mention the corporate bottom line is biggest when they have low overhead, cheap labor and don’t have to pay taxes. Break up the unions, you break up people’s collective bargaining power, work on the congress – lobby for tax breaks for corporations and pay less taxes you get the idea.

All of this has been going on – this war began after FDR put in place regulations to control monopolies (the original source of the world financial crisis that plunged us into the Great Depression as well as Europe, especially Germany). It was those regulations or laws, which were based on the same sort of laws we as ordinary citizens would have to follow (in principle) that kept capitalism on a relatively even playing field. The breakdown of which over the past 30 years we are now seeing the results of.

Forget the history lesson above, here’s the point I want to make invention, intellectual leaps, progress and solutions don’t come from the rich, even jobs don’t, only a very small minority of jobs come directly from those newly rich people who actually are contributing members of society. Invention and intellectual leaps come from the middle-class, the class of people educated enough to want to reach upward and grab the golden ring not people sipping Manhattans while tanning themselves in Tahiti. The wealthiest one percent don’t have an incentive to solve anything, for them everything is solved, they are taken care of. Sure there are those rare individuals who want to contribute and who I salute like the young documentary film maker who exposed his world in “The One Percent,” an excellent entrance into the way people are indoctrinated into this bizarre entitled ideology and also a revelation on many other fronts.

If we lose the middle-class we become a third world country. And we also lose any chance we have of solving Global Warming, of advancing civilization or developing space travel. The rich will own us (as they wish to) and we will eventually be pushed into fighting or dying or both. They have successfully used racism/sexism/homophobia and fear to divide us. They have so confused the average person that he/she often votes against their own interest.

It is not a coincidence that the world is literally being flooded, deluged with tornadoes, earthquakes and soon hurricanes at unprecedented levels. It’s a wake up call: we must come together and fix what is broken.

I ask those who have the power and money to actually make a difference in this world these simple questions: What will it be worth when you have everything and there is nothing and no one left to lord it over or give it to? Are you that insecure you need to feel better than other people, is that what blinds you to the suffering and pain surrounding you? Do you love your family? If you answered yes to that, then what the hell are you doing to preserve this world for them?

Many blessings to the good and may the greedy find the world as wicked as they are,

The Economy & Housing Market Through Astrology

Well, Mercury is now retrograde so prepare to have computer problems, loose things have technical difficulties and redo everything at least twice. It’s a pain in the butt especially when Mercury is in Virgo where it is stronger as co-ruler of Virgo. Virgo is also an earth sign – making the retrograde more physical than usual and more intense.

Something, I’ve been thinking about a lot is the housing market and how traditionally it has been dictated by the moons nodes. I’ve never seen them wrong. We are currently at the worst placement possible for selling a home, and for the real estate market in general, of course if you are looking to buy you will get the deal of a lifetime.

The north node in Capricorn generally brings about a fall in prices and the desire for people to be frugal with their money as well as keeping away from buying property. This is exacerbated by the fact that Pluto (which rules power and money) is also in Capricorn which would only serve to make people edgy about investing in property. Of course the way we do business and even think about our career paths will change over the next 10 years or so. Instead of a single focus one will find it necessary to be flexible, doing whatever is needed to accommodate the burgeoning (albeit zygote-like state its in) paradigm.

Before this mess I had read a study that noted people born in the early 1960s had an average of 5-7 career changes in their lives (that was thus far) and this study was done before 2000! Our economy despite our desire to remain in a state of delusion about it, has actually been pretty unstable for a long time. I know absolutely no one who was born after 1960 who got out of high school found a good working class job and stuck with it their whole life. These opportunities were and are extraordinarily rare now.

The absolute bottom of the real estate market (from what I’ve seen) is just as the north nodes turns and goes into Sagittarius – usually this is when the market turns around and begins to get better, and also when one can get the best deals with some confidence that there will indeed be a rebound. Now is really a great time to buy a home or investment property if one has the money. The best time to invest in real estate is now until the spring of 2011 (when the north node enters Sagittarius) houses at that time will start to sell better and prices will begin to rise again (slowly, very slowly).

My only caveat is that real estate will not spring back like it has before with the dampening influence of Pluto in Capricorn. People will stay a bit traumatized about owning property for a while until the economy picks back up which I believe will be a slow and steady climb up the mountain for many more years to come. So one should not invest in a home unless one is sure one can stay in it until the whole economy stabilizes and that could take a while.

I’m sorry to say we are in the depression I talked about. It’s important to remember when Obama drives one nuts with seeming passivity, that the other option, McCain, would have driven us into the Greatest Depression of this or any other time in modern history, his chart showed this clearly. And as I stated several years ago when I began blogging about the giant fall in the stock market about a month before it happened (fall of 08) we were going to have to face this. What we are experiencing now is a mollified version of the tidal wave that would have hit us if we’d gone further to the right.

What we need now is for people to learn empathy and compassion – this is the spiritual lesson in this financial disaster. It’s unfortunate that we have to learn the hard way, but it’s human and it’s just the way it is. When things are going well, we don’t look deeper than the surface of things.

Now get ready for the pushing of chaos and order, black and white, left and right – the further polarization of our country to the point of a potential war if we are not careful. Let’s not learn the hard way anymore! Compassion. Just be compassionate to oneself and to others and put oneself in others shoes, if we practice this, we will avert the next potential disaster staring us in the face.

Many blessings and best wishes,

Denise

Eris… answering a reader…

I’m reprinting what the reader Abra wrote. I agree that whenever we look at new rulerships we should not end old ones because both are true. Eris ruler of Libra isn’t saying that Venus isn’t a co-ruler, I do think it explains why Libras are very intellectual and tactical as well as being artistic. I don’t think this side of Libra has been properly examined and perhaps as we move forward Libras will utilize these abilities even more and our world will have a need for this in ways we can’t yet imagine.

Planets/celestial bodies are found during certain periods of time for a reason. Eris was found when we were at war in the Iraq and Afghanistan and shortly after the largest act of terrorism was every perpetrated, the game went up another notch. Now there were actually a lot of planetoids found during this period, so each will have to be sorted for what it all means. But what the Goddess Eris did was a form of guerrilla warfare and one can see the parallel. I won’t go into all of it because I don’t think it will fairly represent my point about Eris to bring up what happened that terrible day.

However, to those who felt marginalized and left behind while the rest of the world was enjoying prosperity and moving forward, that tactic did work to set in motion a ghost war – a war against a tiny invisible beast that we could never find the head of. However if one were on the side of those who felt invisible and marginalized the moment was a triumph against what felt like some sort of oppression through projection, better known as jealousy, very much the same motivation which led Eris to throw the apple into the wedding party.

So if one is a Libra or has strong Libra in the chart (and more Americans have Libra rising than any other sign) then perhaps this was a wake-up call to our own darker nature. We are competitive to the point of squashing all competition – just look at why the banks and almost all of our industry is failing. It isn’t just greed, it’s an insipid need to do better, be better than the next person. One has to wonder why? Perhaps the gentler nature of Venus who was a guide for so long to this sign, has receded due to our darker nature.

We as a whole have the chance now to look at what all of this means from all sides and use the powers of Eris for good or Evil (as in the case of 9/11). Eris energy itself isn’t either – simply put the Goddess represents strife which is just a human condition, it’s how we deal with that strife that elevates us and gives us the opportunity to move to a higher level of consciousness.

Here are the messages from the reader Abra:

Abra: I am a libra w/a Aries asc…and I love to cook, love good wine, am sensual. I am direct and prefer to be above board. I can relate to being a fighter but I don’t think I want to give up Venus as my ruling planet. According to ancient Maya, Venus sitings were associated with war/aggression. On a side note, when my mother started taking astrology classes when I was 9, I learned that my ruling planet was Venus…..so I told everyone in my 3rd grade class that I was from Venus. The teacher called home needless to say
Ever loving the Morning Star/Evening Star,
Abra

* Let me just note she has an Aries ascendant. The ascendant is actually more important in facilitating how one interacts with the world than anything else in a person’s chart. Aries people are very open and direct, and are willing to fight for what they believe in.

Abra:

I looked @ another website that called Eris Nibiru….now that’s a name I am very familiar with.

Interesting the association with Enoch and UFOs. Eris the planetoid was named after the ancient Greek Goddess of Strife who was the sister of Aries. But thanks for the tip there could be more information hidden in the name and it makes sense with what I’ve found so far. There will be more encoded in her name than I have figured out and am prepared to spend a lifetime studying it. If one looks up Eris Nibiru, one will find a connection to global warming, UFOs and Enoch who ancient astronaut theorists have linked to aliens. Having worked with that energy I can tell you, I’m sure it is alien. It does not feel human at all – in fact it has a rather cold and hyper-intellectual energy that feels as if one is tapping into a much more highly evolved intelligence than our own. It however does not feel angelic to me. At first I wasn’t sure, but after working with angelic energy as well, angelic energy is much more akin to human energy. They aren’t emotionally cold and heady like Enochian energies.

Best wishes,

Denise

OK, Brace Yourselves!

I can say this because I had confirmation and some of this information is out there. I was told not to pay cash for anything right now. I was told to put everything on credit cards as banks were going to be involved in some major malfeasance and one will need cash.  The government or governments will have to step in and fix the banking system.

If you are good and pay off everything, you will be ripped off by the sociopathic heads of the world’s financial institutions. It goes against everything I believe, but that’s what I was told. I’ve had a hard time following that advice.

Today I heard on the radio that bankers in Europe have declared war on the Euro. They literally are trying to destroy it, and take down whole financial systems so a few of them can make a few extra bucks. This is a sick game and something that Warren Buffet called, “Financial Nuclear War.”

With Uranus going into Aries we can expect that people will not take this lying down. In fact I believe we will see a class war which eventually could lead to civil wars and has the potential to lead to another world war if the governments of the world do not take immediate action against the financial criminals.

This is so insane, and yes the energy is very bizarre, unlike anything I’ve ever felt. It feels like we are on the edge of chaos. This is why I have not wanted to post. I didn’t want to scare anyone. But for now you can take care of yourselves in a physical way by storing as many nuts as you can and don’t pay off your credit cards – pretty much the exact opposite advice you’d get from Suze Orman, although if this world weren’t going so crazy and weren’t so corrupt I’d agree whole heartedly with her. But we don’t live in those times anymore. The sociopaths have control of our financial ship and they are about to steer us off a cliff knowing how much suffering they will cause, just to collect the insurance money. These are very sick people.

I will dole this out slowly as not to overwhelm everyone and wait to get confirmation of what my guides have been telling me. I don’t want anyone to freak out. It won’t do any good. I must admit I have been very depressed about the future for the past several months. And until I had a strategy I didn’t want to bum anyone else out.

I wondered for a while if I should take all my money out of the bank and reading this you probably will wonder the same. Problem is where to keep it? For now I don’t suggest that. If I come up with a brilliant solution or get information on what to do I will post it. If anyone else gets an inspired thought or idea let us know by posting it.

If you are middle class – STAY OUT OF THE MARKET!!!! Like vampires they will suck you dry.

Many blessings,

Denise

UFOs

From Lenora:

These aliens people have been seeing, which ones are they? Here is a list and description of known types of aliens:

http://www.ufocasebook.com/alientypes.html

I have my own theory and would like to see if others are thinking the same thing I am. I just wondered why they picked on the Haitians who seem like pretty harmless as far as weapons that might cause damage to an alien craft are concerned. i do believe these aliens have a fear of our atomic weapons.

I clicked on the link of different alien types. I think the author is correct about a lot, if not all of his assertions and types of aliens. I have never seen or heard anyone put together the alien agenda in the way I felt it was, which is pretty much what came to me before the quake in Haiti. Why (if this is connected to the aliens) they would want to destroy or start their war in that part of the world, I don’t know. It makes me wonder if it was due to the extreme poverty and the desire to do as much damage as possible to the Collective psyche of our race as possible. The devastation there is palpable, I can’t help but feel it – have had a migraine for a week now that will not go away. I don’t think I’m alone in the effect so many people are and have been feeling since this has happened. Perhaps it was meant to throw us off so other attacks would be easier, our minds fixated on this crisis and our emotions frazzled by the horrifying destruction.

I hope what I saw was just a metaphor and had no literal truth to it. This is always a problem when dealing with inter-dimensional beings whether they be aliens, angels, spirit guides or ghosts. It’s very difficult to get a handle on whether these beings are presenting an image of what they want to project or if people/sensitives are seeing them as they truly are. Or if they are speaking in metaphor, riddle or literally.

Please keep the comments and dreams coming.

Blessings,

Denise

Israel

OK, I had the creepy dream about Israel just before I had a bunch of health stuff come up. In the mean time I described the mortar I saw in my dream to a reporter friend of mine and she told me that it was exactly as I described it. Basically, it looks like a giant bullet. That just got me wondering what the hell is up with Israel’s chart?

Why did I dream it would be the center of a war that would lead to a world wide conflict. Well, I figured astrology would help me figure it out and yeah, I looked at Israel’s chart and the transits about to hit and it didn’t look good.

Mars will be going over Israel’s stellium in the 10th house this year, transiting Pluto is making an applying opposition to Venus from the 3rd to the 9th and an applying inconjunction to the natal Moon in the 10th. Uranus started the trouble as it has been going back and forth over a sensitive square to Israel’s natal Uranus in the 9th from the 5th house. There was a risk taken that will be the trigger of dominos that will set off this chain. When I looked back at the first pass it was in April of 2009, here’s a link to describe the seed of the unfolding:

It seems that my initial freak out over Israel going into the Gaza strip way back when, in a post from last year, was on the money. Read the article. It appears there were major violations of international law which started to make its way out into the world last April. The article illustrates the situation well. Of course in my case it was just a bad gut feeling and a sense that a small faction of militant right leaning nut jobbers were steering Israel in the very wrong direction. A lot of people got mad at me, even called me anti-semitic because I spoke out against this however I am of Jewish descent (I do not participate in any organized religion however.) Contrary to the notion that I am anti-Israel I am actually pro-Israel. I want Israel to succeed and thrive and the only way it can is if it gets along with its neighbors and tries to resolve the conflict with the Palestinians. There are many Jewish people who want peace just as there are many Americans who want peace and want our troops to come home. Enough about that…

According to the chart transits leave me to believe that things will progressively become more difficult, more polarized and those who can see the writing on the wall will migrate out of the country. There will more than likely be an exodus and the involvement of an international tribunal or group that will oversee the conflict which may start as peaceful, more along the lines of international law and lead to international troops escalating to the point that the world will divide among two camps and a world war fought on middle eastern soil. I have a feeling the conflict will not stay in Israel.  The great malefic Saturn will also be transiting Israel’s 12th house over the next couple of years and will eventually hit the natal Neptune which will trine Natal Mercury and sextile natal Pluto lessening the intense loss and restriction put upon Israel. It’s fair to say that Israel will have very powerful allies that will come to its aid in this upcoming period of instability. As good as this is for Israel it could be bad for the world. It could lead to conflicts between much bigger nations on Israel’s behalf which is where the WW more than likely will be triggered. I’m going to look into the other nations I feel will be involved in the conflict later on and report on that next.

I have the feeling that what will start out as a seemingly benign investigation by the international community will take a volatile turn and incite old animosities which will lead to a much bigger world war. This won’t happen over night, but over a period of years as the planets march along and set off a series of bad aspects in Israel’s chart.

Next I’ll look into the major power players charts and see how they interact with this situation.

Best wishes,

War?

I wanted to post something one of you sent me via e-mail. It is a link to a Polish psychic who seems reputable, claiming there maybe war coming this year in the fall. There was mention of Israel being part of the problem in that it starts the conflict secretly and when the other country retaliates they get blamed. The war widens out to a bigger conflict. I talked a little about my fear of the hawkish government in power in Isreal and the way they had been dealing with the Gaza strip as well as other conflicts. Anyway, it was interesting to see this man’s predictions as according to him they parallel some of the things I’ve written about here on the blog. If anyone is interested it’s a short piece at:

Hopefully, this psychic will be wrong and my dream will also be off base. If I get anymore info about this issue I will of course post it.

Many blessings,

Creepy Dream, North Korea & Sarah Palin

Last Thursday morning I woke in a panic after having this insane dream about this surprise attack on the US. I was with my family in a library and my brother looked up at the mountain, there was what looked like a fire. My brother said, “It looks like war.” I asked him how he came to that conclusion and said something to the effect, that it just looked that way.

I looked up again and pointed out 3 missiles coming our way. But couldn’t figure out why or who was attacking us. There had been no warning and it was a beautiful sunny day like it had been on 9/11. As my brother and I wondered about what was happening we saw buildings destroyed in random lines as if something like a laser from the sky was causing it. I thought perhaps the “lines” were caused from a satellite that we couldn’t see as we watched the crude missiles loose steam. We never heard them drop anywhere near us. But the “lines” of destruction kept coming. One was headed for the library we were in. I was seperated from my family in the chaos as everyone ran for safety.

After a while of these “lines” destroying buildings in straight random patterns, it became very easy to avoid them. I didn’t see anyone hurt or killed during the dream, just panicked when we could hear the rumbling coming our way and knew one of the “lines” was also headed toward our building. Then everyone would run somewhere else. I was finally reuinited with my family in the dream.

My daughter woke me up by tapping my face and smiling at me. The dream stuck with me however. It had been very odd and vivid. I haven’t had a war dream in a while so I was rattled by it. I thought about who the enemy was and figured it was North Korea. It was a conclusion come to in the dream as no one could tell for sure but most of the population thought it was them or Iran. Also the lines of destruction I wondered about that and thought they might be sonic weapons on satellites which was why they were so crude, but also why they were also so directional and made a rumbling noise that became recognizable in the dream.

Three days later North Korea sent some more missiles over the ocean. I was out of town until late last night on vacation and couldn’t post. But it made me think that our ignoring of North Korea might lead to something very unexpected by them. It’s been my feeling that someone else is really in charge there, someone who is really power hungry. I feel like Kim Jong Il is either dead or not in his right mind/incapable of rulership, and someone who is not just a big spoiled brat but rather a psychopathic tactician is actually running things. I felt the shift of power there last fall and have the feeling there is more to the North Korean plan then bribing us for money, there is some kind of darkness afoot there. Yet in the dream it was crude and directionless, but it did reek havoc here. Dreams have a tendency to be hyperbolic to make their point and I woke feeling that this was a warning that we as Americans were not being told the truth about some serious threat that has been being made against us that our government is blowing off as hot air.

This would seem to describe how we’ve been dealing with North Korea. Once they get the technology, no matter how crude, they are going to try and attack us. That’s what I took the dream to mean. They probably won’t get that far in terms of really doing major damage. And it was strange how the lines of destruction, random and robotic in their destruction might really be some crude satellite weaponry we are not privy to this is why I posted this. I don’t know much about sonic weapons but when I put the pieces together from the dream it seemed to fit what I would think these weapons would be like. I meant to do some research on it but if anyone knows anything about this type of weapon please post what you know and/or if it fits the description or if something you know of that is a different technology seems to fit.

Hope everyone had a happy 4th of July.

Many blessings,

Oh and Sarah Palin stepped down. Remember the prediction last October that there would be numerous scandals eventually forcing her out of office? What a “leader.” She can’t seem to finish a term, as mayor she quit, and now as Governor. She’s psycho.

Answering Readers…

The first question comes from Dera:

Do you see a solution to the problems with the Mexican Drug cartels waging a war on the govt of Mexico City? I am so concerned about the people there and is legalizing drugs the answer?

Hi Dera,

My intuition tells me that the US will try to intervene in keeping the drug cartels under control, but won’t have a lot of success. The violence will continue to escalate until the people of Mexico are forced to have a kind of civil war against the drug lords. There are similarities to Chicago during the 1920s, but of course in Mexico it is even more extreme and violent. The mix of psychopaths, illegal drugs and corruption within the government all contribute  and it feels like it is escalating to the doorstep of genocide. I don’t feel this is going to get better soon, actually I feel it will get much worse. I only hope I’m wrong about this.

Oddly, I don’t feel the answer to this problem is to just legalize drugs because there is such a strong network of organized crime and corruption that it would be substituted with something perhaps even worse like sexual slavery, prostitution of children, etc. This network must be destroyed first and the government replaced with one truly vested in the good of all the people not just their own pocket books. I’m not saying everyone in the Mexican government/police/military fit into this category, but there are enough that do to make the good people ineffective. 

Eventually, those within the government who are not corrupt will have to build an army out of the ashes of those who have been devastated by the drug lords. Together, the people will have to fight this cancer overtaking their country or it will end up war torn and could lead to mass genocide as these psychopaths gain power and control.

The more violence these drug lords perpetrate the more they become sick with a mad cow-like disease eating away at their souls with each act leaving them nothing but empty shells feeding on destruction. This is the disease of war. It is what is happening in Darfur, what happened in Rowanda, what happened to ordinary people who became Nazis. This sickness is born from violence against our fellow brothers and sisters. It is the sickness that begets war and makes people do horrible things they would never believed themselves capable of. It can also infect ordinary people after seeing ones family slaughtered or child mutilated. It is the darkest side of Kali, the crazed destroyer. It is chaos, insanity, absolute coldness. I wish I could say inhuman, but this darkness is a part of the human condition, the shadow side. In normal healthy people we feel it rear up, but repress it with rationality, empathy and compassion. When all those things are gone there is no controlling it.

This is a very scary situation. I wish there was an easier answer.

I was watching two evangelists speaking with Rachel Maddow a couple of nights ago. They were explainging how socialism would usher in peace which was the prerequisite for the advent of the anti-christ’s arrival. They said Obama wasn’t the Anti christ because he wasnt popular enough but that his policies were setting the stage for his appearance. Huh? They are admitting that they would prefer people to go hungry and wage war so they can stop the antichrist. Who is the person(s) who have managed to pervert Christian principles so successfully? I also found it interesting that their segment coincided with James Dobson’s resignation from Focus on the Family. I respect religious differences and I embrace all spiritual expression but how is this evangelical dogma different from jihadist extremism? Any thoughts on the future of these people’s influence in American politics? Thanks.

Hi Hope and a Plan,

I’ve lost count of how many anti-christs there are, and have been. Nostradameus had at least 3. These dudes have had one pretty much every time there’s someone who wasn’t pro lining their pockets with gold. Sure, socialism is going to bring the anti-christ, that makes a lot of sense, I guess he must be living in Sweden or Norway, or maybe Denmark? Oh, I know perhaps Canada where they have “socialized” medicine.

We all know how Jesus was a TOTAL CAPITALIST! Whew, he just loved him some money and really didn’t want anyone helping out their neighbor or loving others. He taught anti-compassion and letting people starve to prove a point and loved war if it made him some dough. Oh, yeah, wait that’s those guys! I guess they must be the anti-christs because they are anti-everything Christ stood for. Besides I thought they wanted the anti-christ to come, so the big space ship in the sky could come and suck them up and they could be one of the chosen people to live forever in their decrept sack of rotting bone bodies. I mean come on, this is some insane crap. It really is just insane. 

Let’s look at the reality of this proposition. There’s this crazy, angry, jealous God who sends down his only son (something Jesus never said but hey, the Romans needed to make him into a living God so they could sell the religion) to save humanity from the original sin of Eve “eating of the fruit of knowledge” and thereby cursing all of us due to her mistake. Wow, that’s a very insecure God. He doesn’t even want us to have knowledge in case we might figure out he wasn’t all that, I guess. So Jesus removes this original sin if you believe in him, OK, then you die and go to heaven. Kind of, then your body rots in the ground until “Judgement Day” when Christ returns (after the anti-christ) and everyone is brought back to life forever. It’s not quite clear if we all are just animated skeletons or if we get back our old bodies and if so, what period are we talking, when we were really old, at the time of death, or do we get to pick our favorite period?

Here’s a question, after spending all that time in heaven (the other afterlife story) with angels, God, and living in perfect peace, why would you want your rotted out old body to be re-animated so you could live on earth forever? Heaven sounds like a much better deal to me. 

It’s all about fear and control. I’m sure that the crazy jihadists believe just as strongly in their book of stories as the crazy Christian zealots believe in their stories. But here’s something that neither side seem to understand, these are stories meant to illustrate ideas, greater ideas, spiritual ideas that are not easy to explain in common language, and are often beyond our understanding which is why they are never literal. The bible conflicts with itself pretty much on every count. In Genesis God first refers to himself as We, then as an I, he makes everything at once, then in 7 days. I remember studying the book of Genesis in high school and thinking how bizarrely contradictory it was. And wondered why no one ever addressed this.

Ultimately, all spiritual paths and all religions (by virtue of them being related to people’s spiritual paths on occasion) are not straight forward, black and white, easy to understand, direct, concrete or literal in any way at all. The language of the spirit is poetry, visions, flashes of understanding, connection, compassion, intuition, symbolism. There is nothing simple about it and absolutely nothing literal, which is why zealots who see everything as literal are insane and truly waste their lives looking at the multiverse through a keyhole, randomly assigning roles to whatever they see based on the book they have in their hand.

It is absolute blindness.

I don’t think one could even begin to name how many zealots have lived in the history of the human race, yelling that the end was near, blah, blah, blah. But when it comes to these people actually really doing something about evil, like calling out the government of Darfur, calling Omar Bashir the anti-christ or at least an anti-christ, they won’t because what happens in Africa stays in Africa. The world to these people is the US and maybe Europe? But everyone on the planet could die off because of someone like Bashir and things would be peachy. These types weren’t calling Hitler the anti-christ either. Whys that?

Cause they reserve their hate speech to use as scare tactics to get people away from helping out others, because they don’t care about anything but their pocket books, their place in society and their power. And if it doesn’t effect them personally then it isn’t important.

So let’s get real about these a-holes. They are not spiritual, they are not Christian, they are not anything but shysters. 

OK and these questions tomorrow, and I’ll go back further over the week and answer earlier questions as well:

Hi Denise Here’s something that might be of interest to all. For so long now we’ve watched small businesses get run over by large corporations and big box stores. It’s been hard to keep small individual businesses (i.e. mom-and-pop stores, etc.) from going bankrupt. I feel that once we get past the next couple of years and the economy begins to grow again, there will be opportunities for individuals and small companies to grow again. Especially since so many have closed up in the last few years. Right now everyone seems to shop at Walmart and Costco, etc. just to save as much as possible, but I think that when times get better people may want a more personal touch in their shopping. Would you ask the cards if an expansion of entrepreneurship is coming in the new economy. I would hate to think that we’re stuck with the Walmarts for the future. Use this recession time to prepare for what you want to do in the future. Lay the groundwork, so to speak. Thanks.

Hi Denise, I have a feeling that the US Dollar will start sliding heavily after sept 2009. How do you see the USD playing over the next 5 years?. How will the strength/weakness in USD effect the housing prices in the country? Do you see housing prices becoming affordable and in line with rents again?

 

Best wishes and many blessings to all you good people,

Denise
