How to get through the next two weeks

I can't impress upon you what a tedious time this is. Some might even say dangerous - in terms of pressing issues, relationships, matters at work.

The people around you don't know the answer because they don't even know the questions. Pressing any issue now is disastrous. Get busy with your own sweet things - nature, a psychic reading, a walk with the dog, a massage, helping someone who needs help (don't ask, just do it - go to the store for them, listen, solve a small problem for them, make them laugh). Be around the few Evolved Old Souls out there who walk around with sweet smiles on their calm faces.

There's one I know who is only 25. Theyare everywhere is you look.

Probable outcomes of pressuring people now are that they will default (yield to their internal irritability and take the course of lease resistance) - fire you, ask for a divorce, end the dating relationship, cancel the contract, refuse the loan, demote you, cancel your leasem end the friendship, say something very difficult to forgive ...

From other experts:

Nancy Fenn, leading psychic and astrologer, and nation's expert on Saturn Return:

And as always, watch out for the more and more difficult energy between now and November. Mars is still involved with both malefics Uranus and Pluto in very bad ways. Especially the next two weeks the universe has some peoples’ heads in a vice trying to get them to transform in badly, critically needed ways and they are resisting because it is human nature to fear change even though they are rotten miserable where they are. They are also working next to you, riding your bumper on the freeway, looking over your loan papers, checking you out at the grocery, reading your dental x-rays and teaching your kids. They are not sleeping well and rhey are stuffing junk food or cigarettes to go numb. Then there are the dangerous recidivists [returning to drugs or alcohol]. . .

Heads up. Give your fellow humans a wide berth. Deescalate all confrontations and wait for better times to press your point if you possibly can.

Just the sort of thing that happens in Pluto Retrograde

Confounding us all at this time is the series of ads being put out by Absolut, this one run in Mexico. What WERE they thinking? (map from before the 1848 war)

And of course the parodies are coming out.
In EIN ABSOLUT WELT

Absolut's response can be found on their blog, from no less than the VP of Corporate Communications. Among his comments:

The In An Absolut World advertising campaign invites consumers to visualize a world that appeals to them -- one they feel may be more idealized or one that may be a bit "fantastic." As such, the campaign will elicit varying opinions and points of view. We have a variety of executions running in countries worldwide, and each is germane to that country and that population.

This particular ad, which ran in Mexico, was based upon historical perspectives and was created with a Mexican sensibility. In no way was this meant to offend or disparage, nor does it advocate an altering of borders, nor does it lend support to any anti-American sentiment, nor does it reflect immigration issues. Instead, it hearkens to a time which the population of Mexico may feel was more ideal.

Pluto Retrograde is a good time to get a reading, so you don't end up lying awake at night like the ad folks at Absolut are. email me at semiramis.appiamo@hotmail.com and share your thoughts about this ad.

Spitzer and Astrology

Pluto's First casualty --

Spitzer makes the headlines, and this is quite what to expect after this time period of Mars/Pluto. Things come out of the woodwork, so to speak.

If something like this has happened to you (I hope not) or someone you know or love, you'll be sorting things out now and it's a good time to get a reading, for direction.

It's coming ... March 7, 2008

March 7th 2008 - like the movie, "No Country for Old Men,", There are no clean getaways ... you can't stop what's coming...
MARCH 7TH, Mars opposes Pluto at World Points.

Combination of Mars/Puto is full of extreme force, coercion, excessive (fruitless, harmful) effort, and, at its worst, brutality and ruthlessness.

Apply this to all relationships - from your own personal ones to relations between nations.

Last occurrence of this opposition was in April of 06. Look back to then for hints of what is coming. That opposition was in Gemini/Sagitarrius (Mutable). This one will be Cardinal - a different energy. Changeable v. Initiating (or completing). The same issues as back them will resurface.

This opposition will occur when Moon is in dark phase - things will be hidden, to the unknowing. Get a reading to find out what's going on. Can be a time of revealing Secrets or Hidden Knowledge to those who have eyes to see. Is there someone you need to know more about? Think he's cheating? Think she's stealing? Find out!

Market Decline and Mars Retrograde

Global Market Decline Accelerates READS THE HEADLINE

Markets in Tokyo, Hong Kong and Sydney on Tuesday extended the losses they suffered Monday as fears of a recession roiled markets worldwide.

If this reminds you of what's been happening in your own life - the turbulent and volatility --
we'll all be glad when Mars goes direct again on January 30th. It's been retrograde since November 15 and a very difficult time for many of us.

But hold on to your hat and get yourself anchored, because Mars will remain opposing Pluto until the end of March. This is an extraordinarily potent time period.

What should you be doing now? How to prepare for the coming year? What strategy and energies to use? What to tweak, what to change and what to dump??

Mars and Pluto - en garde

Take care on Friday when Mars moves into opposition with Pluto, and Pluto moves from Sagittarius (been there since 1995) into Capricorn.

Mars-Pluto pits the war god against the dark Lord so be prepared for petty disputes, bit power struggles, nasty conflicts surfacing or re-surfacing.

And you thought I was talking about between you and others? Yes, could be ... or between you and you. What you want and what's thwarting you.

Yes, it's especially tempting to externalize these and project them onto others in lots of cases of 'mistaken identities', i.e., He feels like cheating so he accuses you of cheating. Your father had a bad temper, so you provoke your husband to have one.

Definitely a time for tire-slashing, ranting and raving, accusing others, starting nasty rumors, getting defensive ... and losing it.

In fact, take care on the 21st. If you're the kind of takes it out on yourself (having a fender-bender, losting your keys, 'forgetting' a deadline), take care. And watch out for those who take their nasties out on others, i.e., car accidents, turning you in to your boss, going after your guy, even acts of violence.

Leo - here's a note for you, your majesty. If someone else is the boss, take it easy. Acknowledge it, and then get busy. This is no time for a power play.
