Are ya ready for electile dysfunction? All the mad slinging of the ballot boxers is in full pathetic force. Voting nationally has become a true falsity. The vote doesn't count for a candidate that doesn't count cuz it's all obviously rigged and likely always has been, one way or another. All of this grinds on dully. The blinded leading the blinded. I wouldn't be surprised if we get a third party candidate that mucks it all up even more so. So much fiddling while the empire burns.....

This week the Moon's north node shifts from Pisces to Aquarius. This is the Aquarian Age point. Our sights are being set, albeit through the sludge of the ending Age. Mercury enters Aquarius on 1/7/08 at 8:46 pm PST. Some vision and sense of moving on may come with these shifts, but likely the density of the old karmic crap will still weigh heavy and obscurate. It's hard to see the forest for lack of trees. The smoke of burning residue still gets in your eyes. It feels like things are going to hell. It will continue to feel like that for many years. Tis the shadow of believing that you're going to heaven in one manner or another. These aren't the worst of times by any means. These are the best of times, and now you can realize that that doesn't take away the suffering either. Now what?

What isn't working. Nothing may feel like it is working in your life right now. Everything feels like it's dying or is dead. Tis hard to find juice to go in any direction, or if you have the juice, the direction is unclear. We've still got a month of this crud left. Have patience, if you've got any left.

New Moon in Capricorn on 1/8 at 3:37 am PST. Take the whole day off. It's a silly day. There, I've said it. Occasionally, we have one of these days. Capricorn wants to be oh so useful and then we get a useless day. There's nothing wrong with a useless day, although it is against the American Way. I imagine that your ambitions are all over the place, including the dumpster. They'll revive eventually. For now, everything looks bleak. Don't buy it. Don't sell it. Consider being intentional instead of pushing the river with your will. With Mars retrograde for several more weeks, effort may be stillborn, no matter how you approach things.

Time to be and undo. Doing is a frustrating activity in the days ahead. Nothing to do about that.

Don't let the mind eat you alive! It is on the hunt right now and wants to slam you into your behaved corners. Claim your own consciousness and melt the weasel. Judgment is rampant inside and out. Let it air out but don't believe. Clean up your projections onto others. You can't control people's judgments on you; clean up on your end and let go. There will be a lot of this noise from here on. Don't get used to it. Don't get even. Be..... odd and enjoy yourself in a world of hurt and confusion. The outsides or the insides, the ups and the downs will no longer save you. You are cashing out your karmas good and bad. There's nothing that finally comes of this. It just gives you the opportunity to see how silly and pointless it all is. You can see that you aren't a bad that needs to get good/god. You just are and there's a mighty weird dream going on and on and on. Unwind your identification in it or forever hold your pieces.

Being with you,
Mark
