On August 27,2017 the Laser Interferometer Gravitational-Observation Base in Livingston LA recorded the discovery of gravity waves.

While this s in itself is very interesting, that gravitation waves have been verified, but that it is a wave like Einstein predicted. So what? Well the idea that planets through gravitational waves may have more measurable influence on the shape of planetary connectivity in our solar system. This adds an other way of looking at how on a scientific level the planets are engaged in a giant spectrum of waves, making the idea that gravity waves may well explain how big planets like Jupiter can have such dramatic effects on the whole solar system, even influencing the sun, perhaps solar flares. Also it may explain how such a dense, though small, planet like Mercury may have an effect on the gravity of the sun’s solar wind, like an eclipse, but super smaller, still an occulation just the same. Imagine that Mercury is like putting your finger into a water hose–it changes the spray. Similarly Mercury may thus have more power that we suspect. Why would such a small planet play such an important place in the natal chart: the very thinking process itself. By sign and house this little guy packs a neurological punch.

Let be clear that even before this discovery of gravity wave, Mercury has been a power of communication: but why?
While we have myths, folklore and other concepts, the truth is that Mercury is the smallest planet. I submit that gravitational theory should be used to rethink the “why” of Mercury. Astronomers will poop-poop such an assertion, but those of us who use Mercury in natal charts, will be sure to have this discovery add to the mystery and power of this small planet of the nervous system and communication.

I was reading in an astrological journal the other day suggesting that if we look at the Earth as a viable life form or living energy field, maybe we should look at all the planets as in one way or another also living energy fields.

The opposing side is that earth has life, biological life on it. It is therefore a bio-field, where the other planets do not have life on them, at least life as it know it–the carbon chain and water creating moving self-munching, life. That is life as we know it depends on eating life. When you think about it every life form eats another and plants compete for sunlight and water. Is it farfetched to think then as life as a chemical activity?

What I am driving at here is who is to say that there is not a certain combination of energy fields on, say Mars, that has its own chemical/electromagnetic activity that is constantly changing and growing, evolving, just as here on earth, ONLY DIFFERENT!!

For as long time mother earth was not a planet with life, and it grew through the carbon chain–all life has carbon in one way or another involved it. Some say that AI (artificial intelligence) is just the silicon element starting to compete with the carbon!!!!!!! Further, some people say life arrived on earth from a piece of a cosmic meteors or something life that. Life as an invading energy component.

The point I am making here is that just as the earth is unique in vibratory content because of its “life”, other planets may well be considered energy mothers of their own elemental environments. Who is to say what type off chemical energies, say, the gas planets have, or if gas “beings” could have a different type of consciousness than we know here on earth? Might it not be an ego problem on our life form to rule out other types of consciousness?

Is this science fiction?. Maybe there are large jellyfish-like gas fields churning at fantastic speeds on Jupiter.

What is consciousness and can we say that energy fields, in and other themselves are not in their way at their core something alive in their terms? Is it not possible that planets by the fact of their energy fields have a personality of sorts. Is the whole universe also consciousness. Is the final resolution the “God particle”? This is something to think about on those night you can’t sleep and want to do some thinking about the larger picture. If the universe can be looked at as a type of consciousness through the universal field through which the whole universe dances to that cosmic rhythm, then the planets could well be humming some tune of consciousness.

Think about it, that is all that I am saying.

While I realize that August is down the road. I want put the word out that, those that can, should take the time to plan vacations in the Northwest.The umbra will come ashore on the Oregon coast, west of Salem at 10:45 am and the length of the shadow will give “1 minute and 59 seconds” of totality. The length of the totality will grow to “2minutes and 40 seconds” in Southern Illinois. The line of the eclipse is actually a swath across the middle of the US.

It is good to plan where you might find the best weather. West Ways Magazine says,”Viewers should consider weather statistics.Sightings odds decrease for the Eastern U.S., according to Jay Anderson a retired meteorologist at Environment Canada with nearly 40 years of experience in studying eclipse weather,’The further east you go, the cloudier it gets.’”

If you have relatives who live along the umbra line it might be the time to pay them a visit. The next solar eclipse will be in 2019 and visible in Chile and Argentina. The next one in continental U.S. will not be until 2024. The great aspect of this eclipse is that it is possible to drive to it. And remember, as the news media picks up on the August eclipse, crowds will be making hotel reservations, and campsites will be booked up. I recommend those on the West Coast head for Portland Oregon, where there is a great culture of star gazers.

For more information, just Google it and you will have all the information you need to have a great and educational vacation.

Wondering why the whole world seems crazy right now. That things seem a little unhinged. That old timers are shaking their heads and saying that they have never seen times like these before. What in the world is going on and what is the source of this whole overview of the ungluing of this time in history.

My answer is the SOLAR ECLIPSE OF SEPTEMBER 1 2016 AT 9:21 DEGREES OF VIRGO. This eclipse is within a degree and a few minutes of opposition to Neptune at 10:40 Pisces Consider that Saturn was at 10:04 Sagittarius and BINGO THE PROBLEM The incredible T SQUARE that the eclipse set off in mutable signs. Get it. MUTABLE SIGNS. This eclipse sent energy in the battle for form versus the need for dreams or nightmares. And we are getting the nightmare in the US Election, the immigration crisis, the upending of values and the disturbing realization, that the energy of Neptune is more powerful that just the old school text books that droned on that Neptune was the planet of idealization, spiritual insights, dreams and all that jazz, and oh, yeah, something about drugs, escapism and maybe sacrifice and a sense of being a victim. Yeah, that warping part of Neptune was glossed over with escapism and maybe a drug or two. However is is clear now that this eclipse has set of a huge boom of mundane dynamite in the concept of the mutability of how the world works and how things have come to be. Neptune is in this instance nearly anti-matter.

The T-SQAURE has demonstrated that Neptune is a cosmic solvent removing the glue that has been holding the whole myths of our civilizations, that the US is stable, that the crisis at our feet challenges the very intellectual ground we are standing on which is now starting to look like quick sand!

Do I sound like an alarmist, well I am. I think that the period between the September 1 2016 eclipse and the Lunar Eclipse of Feb 11 2017, calls for us to realize that there is an earthquake happening and we all need to be careful not to get motion sickness. There is a shift going on now that will have after shocks that will be huge. Even after the election, where something not great will happen, one of two candidates which no one wants will come to power. and the power battle after that will be awesome. Maybe the election results will be challenged, but the same old political mess that moved us into thin intolerable situation will get worse. More polarizing and division.

And this is not to talk about world markets and the stability of the monetary system. Then there is the next SOLAR ECLIPSE ON FEBRUARY 26 2017 AT 8:12 Pisces conjunct Neptune AT 11;34 Pisces AND THE BEAT GOES ON. SATURN will have moved on to 26 degrees of Sag and it will be different, but the whole Neptunium fabric will still be surging forward as we try to gain some clue as to the direction the world will be headed towards. Escapism versus a real direction, lets try to be realistic (hah) see what stability will come. It will still be like the aftermath of a volcano, or large plat-lit shift. It will take time for things to settle down.

The answer, to me is a different landscape. There will be a sponginess to the concept of terra firma. And the best advice I can offer is to limit media exposure, keep on meditating and doing the best you can in your personal world of friends and neighbors and the commonality of that strain of individuals who have a vision that is heart based. HOPEFULLY there will be a calming down of this GIANT T SQUARE WE ARE EXPERIENCING.

Just remember from a Californian who has big quake experience. The clean up and repair will take some time. It will test personal and national strength. I do not want to sound apocalyptic, but I am. There may be a winner, but for sure there will be poor losers. I am buying Dramamine stock and hoarding it. Let us hope that I am having a bad transit somewhere in the great beyond and I am prattling away. But I don’t think so and neither should you. Look inward and outward and find your own balance is the turbulence that still shakes after the great eclipse of 9/1/2016.

Mars stopped being retrograde and went direct June 26 and what a ride of violence we have had! It seem as if every day some new despicable act of horror is unleashed, not only with our own USA type of human rage-Minnesota,Texas, Louisiana (and marches in all large cities) but internationally, Pakistan, Saudi Arabia, France and Turkey.

Part of all this can be attributed to Mars, for as it goes direct, it now moves into approaching conjunction (granted down the road in August 23) with Saturn. (wide orb of 14 degrees) This, I feel, will be a very trigger time, as Mars conjunct Saturn will be in a 1 degree square with Neptune. This will be the last hurrah, if you will, of this what has proven to be a killer square. The good news is that after the end of September this square will be out of orb.

Yet what an energy surge this square has produced–Neptune representing idealism, spiritualism, darkness deceitful behavior, mass psychology compassionate, yet also heartless in zeal religious fervor. Take this complex planet and put it in direct square with Saturn and its need to try to seek persistence and strength in judgment. Saturn wants to get things done, to measure the productivity of action and the seriousness of doing measurable gains. (Like do a bombing, start a coup). Incredibly there was a bombing of the second most sacred site in the Sunni world, Medina. This shows how deep the religious strife is.

The “Black Lives Matter” group continues to bring attention to the indiscriminate shooting of black men by the police. The killing of 9 police in less than a week puts a whole new light on a subject so dire that the President has made TV appearances trying to get everyone back on the Love you Neighbor teachings of spiritual leaders.. The national attention on this schism is deepened b y the greatest circus one can imagine in the political area.

Usually I have some supposed insight to all this, but I have none at this writing except to continue in your meditations and do as much good as you can in your daily life. I don’t see this chaos blowing over immediately. The tension is too great for everything to calm down without more time to let is going to play out, to be played out. Unfortunately it will take perhaps Jupiter’s ingress to Libra. The election is another point of tension. So take care and love your neighbors and family and friends and cut back on the TV time with chaos again pops up.
