The Finger of God
Here we are, at last, at the end of 2012: the end of world as we know it.
I am joking. Sort of. I do think that if we play our cards right, we have a chance to make this the end of many aspects of the world, as we have known it.
Predictable Shock
Mars will set off the Uranus-Pluto square in late November, striking at its most powerful point of access (see the Nov Skywatch). Much has been written about this transit’s unpredictability; but the concept needs to be qualified. We have learned enough about how Uranus and Pluto work to refine our understanding about the nature of shock.

Hearing the Call
You could practically hear the buzz, as the Uranus-Pluto square1 disgorged each of its first two exactitudes June 24th and Sept 19th. That is, the animal part of us could hear it.
Cat Eyes
Are there Scorpios in your life who cast a spell on you? Certain members of this select coterie can engage other people like quick sand. A sense of intrigue emanates from deep within them.

The crowd was well-pumped, thanks to the Olympics earlier in the summer. When the games in London were over, Americans looked around hungrily for another garishly lit mega-spectator sport to dive into.
Grand Slam
A few days ago a skeptical acquaintance said to me, “Well, here we are almost at the end of 2012 — the year that was supposed to be so dire!” I think she meant that, despite the prophecies she’d read about on the internet, everything was just fine. I thought, Are you kidding me?

Shift in Velocity
Get ready to shift gears.
As September begins, the personal planets are facing straight ahead. Since August 7th, when Mercury stationed direct, the last of them made the shift from retrograde to forward motion. You may have felt hurdles move out of the way.
One or Three Butlers?
The polls tell us that Mr. Romney’s strongest support is among low-income white men
and high-income white men. In other words: the pissed-off jobless dude and the boss-man who outsourced his job. Go figure.
Similarly counter-intuitive are the political preferences of Tea Party enthusiasts, who detest reckless spending and the government — the same government their candidate is spending recklessly to join.

Aerial View
It isn’t just you. Everyone who isn’t completely shut down is feeling it. Disruptions on the inner and outer planes are inevitable and absolutely appropriate right now. They are part of our destiny.
