The Last Post

“(I don't believe in democracy because....)....Politics, like penal reform and legal reform and the health service and care of the elderly – all these big issues can’t work until people take a very different look at the bigger (the biggest) picture which ironically involves examining themselves first. For evolution to happen in all these areas we have to value the individual much more which in the democratic principle we don’t enough where democracy is seen as preferable only to the other ways which usually involve military dictatorship. We are not thinking right yet as individuals. Until the collective understanding of why each one of us is here develops, the regular political options will continue to be served up. However, the peaceful insistence against the current rule in some of the African states is clearly not a bad thing. But to ‘believe’ in the democratic principle because you can’t think of anything better isn’t good enough anymore.

“Once people understand why they are here and start to work on themselves and the outside of themselves from that understanding everything else will fall into place ‘as if by magic’ and we will have something better than the rule of the majority. That’s my view. If a single soul (you perhaps, or me) is sacrificed because of the way we are governed, then our system doesn’t work properly.”

The previous post (below) has been lingering in cyberspace for some time pretending to be my last word on all things which it isn't. So I thought I'd write another post. This one. Then I thought about something that came up in an e-mail recently (see above) which made me seem like an idealist, but I'm not really. Least, I don't think I am. But I am a little confused right now. And this is why:

In no particular order:

We all know that if we were born on a certain day then we “fall under the sign of Aries or Taurus or whatever....”. This means that on your birthday SYMBOLICALLY not in reality anymore, the sun was to be seen (at night but also during the day) against a background of stars forming a pattern that the ancients called by a name that seemed to represent the shape of that pattern. It also corresponded with the manner and characteristics of those people which eventually the ancient astrologers learned to recognise. So the constellation of Aries looks a bit like a ram and Taurus looks a bit like a bull and Gemini has those twins in it, Castor and Pollux.

It's the same with moon-signs which we are more aware of in daily life once we know how to detect its behaviour in us.

When I was born the sun was to be seen against the background of the zodiac sign called Scorpio also the moon was seen against the sign of Virgo. Now, in actual fact, people are more 'detectable' by their moon signs because it is easier to be your moon sign. The moon nurtures and comforts us. So in the place described by your moon sign you will find your safe-place, your comfort zone. It is harder to be your sun sign because your sun sign is your work, your mission. Yes, yes I hear you - you identify with your sun sign – you like being an Aries. Some people get along very well in their particular role. Other's don't so much.

Yesterday was a bad day for me as my body (Virgo) was not feeling right, so finding myself the subject of a conversation felt awkward. I just wanted to go home to relax in private.

I am going to make this all hook up with the above quote soon. And this will be the last post of this Blog as I intend to begin another Blog that is more current which this one has mainly not been. This blog has been a recap of my life ¬ the past 30 years. Now I am readying myself for the great Saturn Return, my second one and I hope  my last, so I am turning (even as you read) to look ahead.

What is a Saturn Return? When, on your birthday your friends say: 'Many happy returns of the day', they mean that the day when the sun was in a particular place in the sky has returned yet again. In astrology it is called your solar return, (which in fact doesn’t always fit with the calendar, it can be a day or so out). The same happens with all the other planets. Saturn's orbit is about 30 years. The sun as we all know, doesn't orbit the Earth, but from the point of view of the Earth it takes one year to orbit the sun - hence your yearly birthday. So since it takes Saturn such a long time, these events - 2 or 3 in a life time - are times of major significance in a person's life. If you are approaching age 30 stuff will be changing. Also if you are approaching age 60 or 90.

More on the new blog to link to the above quote and onto a subject much heralded at present  i.e. that humanity will wake up and see the light, that the world as we know it will change (before and by and after) the solstice of December 2012.
