Challenges of 2008

Emotionally –Depression and Hopelessness (connected to Cynic) • Conserve Resources – while this includes natural resources, it also pertains to conserving your own financial resources by getting out of debt, as well as conserving the energy, or mana/chi, of your own physical being. Some Astrologers have spoken about the fact that Pluto and Saturn have not been in this configuration since the Summer of 1777. Less than one year after the Declaration of Independence was signed and the Revolutionary War began. Does this portend something like a revolution here in this country again? It is difficult to say how people will act or if there is a “powder keg” within the American populace. If there is a revolution, just remember that it was the wealthy, educated and professional class of George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, and John Addams who were the instigators and not the average working folk. So how would it look this time? Who will be the leaders? Who will be the followers? What would be the provocation? The next 4 years will be the beginning of a radical and hopefully miraculous turn around for not just America, but for the world at large.

Realist and Cynic

Confucius advised that if we hoped to repair what was wrong in the world, you had best start with the “rectification of the names.” The corruption of society begins with the failure to call things by their proper names, he maintained, and its renovation begins with the reattachment of words to real things and precise concepts. Realists are driven to call a “spade a spade” and not confuse it with some other confusing or distortion. The politicians of this next election will be battered by citizen comments and questions thanks to YouTube and other direct media that will put candidates on notice the that only Truth talks and BS walks.

Where there will be a fight is between those who still maintain, “don’t say bad things lest they might happen”, who value their own security by hiding their heads in the sand will be in for a self destructive meltdown. And those who are screaming for justice to be done especially when related to the hundreds of ways that banks and financial institutions have made being a consumer akin to corporate cannon fodder. The realities of this year will trigger your Instinctive Center fears, causing you to become more cautious and alert for your own survival. Your emotional, physical and financial security will become important issues. For those in the U. S., you live under the umbrella of the media; which itself will come under increasing criticism the electorate. And none to soon. View this You Tube video and see for yourself.

With Realist teaming with Warrior and Masculine energy, it is better to look at things square in the face. As Baby Soul Server, President W might say, “the cows have come home to roost”! This mixed metaphor, actually uttered 3 years ago by said Chief Executive couldn’t be more accurate when it means the wealthy are going to come into the hen house of the working poor and crush the nest eggs they have worked long and hard to collect.While the overall stock market will look like a roller coaster with 2500 point spread, no matter where the DOW will hit, the total and actual value of this and other European nations GDP will be slipping and in a big way. Why? Not China, and in the short run, not even oil, but credit card debt! Everybody owes and a great many people are just about maxed out! Those folks will be hearing Red Alert sound in their ears as they come closer to the limits of their purchasing power with fewer jobs on the forefront. nations housing market continues to shrink and more people are forced to try and sell, loose their jobs because of contraction of business, or go into foreclosure or bankruptcy.

Chief Features

Stubbornness will manifest itself in an unwillingness to make any changes in ones position and lead many people to the brink of extreme pessimism, an expression of the negative pole of Cynic. If you stand here, no one and no thing will change your mood accept other people’s failures. Misery loves company. Be careful where you make a stand. The real dilemma many will have to face is this: the beliefs they accepted and supported as “true” just aren’t, and were not! But rather than risk the shame of an about face on a subject, many will hold onto beliefs for the sake of being right. Such rigidity is the hallmark of the negative pole of this chief feature.

Self Destruction will show itself by revealing the foolish and arrogant slipping up and falling upon their own confidence. But, if you can remember that Sacrifice is the positive pole of this Chief Feature. Living by giving and fighting for what you believe makes a Warrior of conviction, endurance and willingness to give for what he/she deems precious. These folks will be tireless and give much to their causes.
