Saturn Square Uranus

This entire year is infused with a very strong energy of building conflict, which is set to come to a head around November 2, 2008, when Saturn and Uranus square off in the sky, and Americans choose between Saturnine systems of control to strengthen their Empire and Uranian transformations of the national soul to bring about greater conformity with the principles of Right Relations. So, spiritual practices are a must, but it is hard to find time and energy for those practices in a global emergency. And we are in an emergency. Ponder the accelerating changes in our world, ranging from the global economic crisis of finance capitalism, to the peak oil crisis, which heralds the end of the age of hydro-carbon driven industrial civilizations, the environmental crisis, the global food shortage, and the increasing intractability and belligerence of the most privileged individuals on the planet, who seem determined to sacrifice the well-being of billions of people and the entire human-friendly Earth environment that developed over the last few billion years, just to extend their wealth, their hegemony and their privileges another few decades. Despite all distractions and increasing responsibilities, we must continue on our Spiritual path.
