The year of the Rat, and welcome to
the sun in Aquarius
Some of you may know, we had some pretty severe power outages for a week or so… and, lol I have had a bit of power outage this last week also. Also my housemate/landlady fell a week ago and broke her arm. I depend on her for lots of help…so we have had an interesting week.
TODAY: Tuesday someone is upstairs helping her, and will assist me also. She took my car out and gassed it up, and will come a couple of times this week to get us a bit organized. So… though sometimes life looks a bit unsettled and upside down. OFTEN all we have to do is ASK and say what we really NEED and it arrives. As always you out there, spirit and positive beliefs WORKS::: and
SUN in Aquarius now and the urge to be different, unique and step out of the box is strong: here are some of the main things happening at the end of this report… part of what those who got calendars have:
With so many requests about fearful things. I wrote to David Pond and asked him to please repost something he said to me so many years ago which changed my life: FROM Ram Dass, the spiritual teacher from the 60’s through his recent death last month, was once asked what he would do if there was an Armageddon or some such disaster.
He responded, “Well after giving this some thought as to what I would do in a disaster, I would first center myself as best I could, and then go out and see if I could be of some help.
But if there isn’t a disaster, I would first center myself as best I could, and then go out and see if I could be of some help—so I lost interest in the question.” Sage advice for difficult times on the planet.
Thank you Kobe for your excellence, blessings on your journey! From David Pond, one of my life angels this incarnation and I bet many others also
So, now let us all take this advice, put in water, food, medications and always prepare for whatever nature or life can toss at us as BEST AS WE CAN: Then waste not a second on worry and fretting lest you attract that to you which you fear … Right now, we must live as clearly and as positively as we can. What takes away the dark is the light and we are the light aren’t we?
WELCOME TO THE YEAR OF THE RAT: let us honor the small, the tenacious and recognize that this is the year of the joiner the year when we can together accomplish so much more together than alone. THE YEAR to get rid of excess and cultivate being the best we can be…
| Individually, Rats are small and weak, so they always appear in groups and work together to manage resources. Together, Rats can undermine an entire building by gnawing and nibbling away at the foundations, piece by piece. For this reason, Rat Qì represents the Confucian teaching that all humans must make alliances to flourish. Alone, we can’t do much, but together, we can accomplish anything. In the Chinese View, individuals are redundant. It is only through alliances that we do anything. No person ever did anything great. Period. Our culture exalts heroes, saints, sports stars, and so on, but all sports stars play on a team. Sociability is required to survive, and no person is special. This is a “Rat realization. Rat Qì, in a sense, stands for the little guy, the underdog, the meek, and the unacknowledged, and it abhors the abuse of the strong over the weak. The Character Piglet from Winnie the Pooh represents this Virtue of the Small Metal Rats have a strong personal sense of moral and spiritual values, and it’s time to stand firm. Our social responsibilities must be examined. We can do all the self-cultivation we want, but no human being can be separated from their social context. Confucianism teaches us that we simply cannot heal and become whole human beings alone and adrift in a disordered, individualistic society of “everyone for themselves.” Inequality, poverty, lack of access to food and health care, social isolation…these will be felt like a sharp knife. Metal Rat is a fragmentary energy. Will we step up and unite to dismantle our systems of oppression? Or will fear get the better or us? This is a year of arts and crafts, of doing small precise work with our hands. Unlike the craftiness of the Horse, Rat craft is more of an artistic meditation rather than a functional project. This a great year to learn new precision skills like making jewelry, sewing, tattooing, drawing, computer coding, and so on. This is a fantastic Year to start new projects, to start a business, to start school, to initiate new relationships. Firm, clear goals, passions, aspirations, and ambitions will pay off. The year is all around good for work, productivity, and industry, but mostly for information work. Physical/manual labor is not particularly auspicious though, for it is a trait related more to Rat’s opposite – the Horse. Most auspicious, perhaps, are financial matters. Metal equals money, and Rats are ruthless and calculating in matters of finance. The world economy will fluctuate widely, but overall, expect the year to be financially viable. So, invest, save, buy, sell, all financial plans/moves are fruitful, but no foolish risks! Rats are extremely cautious, careful, and frugal. Save risks for Tiger or Monkey years! As always, do watch out for burn out, stress, and anxiety. The excess Yáng Qì of the Year may push people into manic overdrive, and our ambition may get the best of us. We may bite off more than we can chew. Remember, small bits. Rats are tiny. So, take care of yourself. The themes of rest and nourishment from Pig Year don’t stop; we always take Time with us. Metal Rats often have meticulous personal habits, so ride the wave. Metal Rats internally brood and worry over the slightest things, so please take care of your mental health and watch out for the mental health of others. Mental illness is a big theme this Year. Check up on how your “strong” friends are doing. They may be the most vulnerable. Although this Year is great for minutia, it is not great for organizing. Rats tend to accumulate, so watch out for mess, clutter, hoarding, and the like. Extra attention to cleaning will go a long way.

Love and Namaste Carol 2020 the BIGGIES for you personally Please learn the 12 houses and what they are: Planets represent kind of like the ACTORS in our lives, to understand shifts and changes, please see the planets and signs pages. Planets are actors and when they shift to a sign, they change the way they are playing out their part. For instance, Venus is what we desire and every month Venus , the Sun, and Mercury move the 30 degrees through a sign.. VENUS changing signs from lets say ARIES which is rather fiery, impulsive and wants action to the next sign, Taurus will mean a slow down of this planets energy, maybe that thing you were ready to JUMP for in Aries, when the planet moves to Taurus, it is WHOOOO Nellie as we slow down and think, perhaps we are just not ready yet? The 3rd big thing is when a planet moves houses, please read and keep out the house sheet. A planet in a house in a sign says that an action is going on, the sign changes in that house, the way the planet acts shifts in that area of life. THEN WHEN THE PLANET moves to another house… it is a whole new ballgame about something very different often. PLANETS moving retrograde often slow the process down and oftentimes bring things in a 180 circle… BIG planetary changes most noticed by everyone is MERCURY RETROGRADES 2020 Mercury retrograde in 2020 in a rare occurrence happens again 3 times in Water or emotional signs, but during 2 of the dates Mercury backs into AIR signs to move direct in more thinking and less feeling Air signs: Feb 17, 2020 Mercury retrogrades 13 Pisces On 3/5 Mercury moves to the air sign of Aquarius and on 3/9 Mercury moves direct at 28 Aquarius, bringing some intellectually dis associating energy into what was in 2019 a more Emotionally charged energy. NOW we shall stop and think more we hope: June 18, 2020 Mercury moves retrograde at 14 cancer moving direct 7/12 at 5:30 cancer October 13th mercury moves retrograde at 12 Scorpio moving backwards into Libra on 10/27 and direct on 11/3 at 25 degrees of Libra ************************************************ ************************************************* VENUS retrogrades helps us to shift what we desire, and really look at what we are putting time, love and energy into. VENUS retrogrades 2020 in AIR (ideas shifting) May 12, 2020 at 21 Gemini moving direct June 8, 2020 at 5 Gemini ********************************************************* *********************************************************** MARS Retrograde 2020 Mars is about action and in Aries retrograde this year, it will be important to slow down, process and really again look at energy and intentions and where they are taking you, time to pull energy inward Mars Retrograde 9/9/2020 at 28 Aries direct November 14th 15 Aries ******************************************************* ************************************************** Jupiter retrograde 2020 Jupiter begins the year in Capricorn, where it entered this sign 12/2/2019 shifting us to some MAJOR Events around Capricorn in our charts: Jupiter represents our belief systems and it has been all over the place for the last couple of years. JUPITER into Capricorn settles this planet down and focuses many of us on what is truly important Jupiter retrograde 5/14/2020 at 27 Capricorn, stationary direct 9/12/2020 at 17 Capricorn Jupiter will enter the air sign of Aquarius 12/29/2020 setting us up for lots of disruptions and shifts of energies through Aquarius and when it enters Pisces on 5/13/21 we shall perhaps see a resurgence of the one for all and all for one …between now and then we have some work to do refining our beliefs into we CAN DO it, rather than it is not possible energy. ********************************************************** ******************************************************** Saturn is the planet representing order, structure and getting our s… together, which planet seems to have not been working correctly, right? Well, what you have seen in 2017, 2018, 2019 is a conscious decision and option given to us as to who and what we desire to be. SATURN RETROGRADE is a VERY busy planet this year Saturn retrograde in Aquarius where it moved on 3/21/20 so Saturn retrogrades 5/10/20 at 2 degrees of Aquarius backs back into Capricorn on 7/1/20 and moves Sd 9/28/2020 at 25 Capricorn ON July 3rd when Saturn backs out of Aquarius into Capricorn where it had been the last 2 and ½ years. We again are brought the question WHO do you want to be, what are you willing to do for what you want and what structure and order do you desire? SATURN Back into Aquarius on 12/16/20 NOW asks are we willing to fight and do things out of the box to make karmic changes in our world and our lives? ************************************************** ********************************************** URANUS is the planet of change and we Move into 2020 with it retrograde in Taurus, Uranus moves direct on January 10, 2020 right on top of that Super eclipse that day at 2 degrees of Taurus Uranus will move forward and again retrograde for its yearly trip backwards on 8/15/2020 at 10 degrees of Taurus and move direct on January 14, 2021 at 4 Taurus *************************************************************** ************************************************ NEPTUNE Retrograde is about visions, imagination And often during this time our imagination begins to manifest into reality Neptune is in Pisces until March 7, 2025 .. Neptune moves retrograde 6/22/2020 at 21 Pisces until 11/28/2020 when Neptune moves direct at 18 Pisces ******************************************************** ************************************************** PLUTO is retrograde a great deal of the time and Please read about Pluto, according to the house it is transiting (visiting) in your chart is where we have some major reconstruction happening… Pluto retrograde 4/25/2020 at 25 Capricorn until Pluto moves direct at 22 Capricorn 10/4/2020 We mainly notice this planet when it makes rough aspects, or changes houses or signs. Pluto is in Capricorn where it will remain until November 5, 2024 when it moves to Aquarius ******************************************************** ************************************************** THE NODES are destiny points and usually our eclipses and major planetary events evolve around them. In Vedic astrology, Rahu (north node) is considered to be similar to Saturn, and Ketu similar to Mars. Rahu signified materialism and desires, whereas Ketu signifies obstacles in the material realm but spiritual tendencies. RIGHT NOW as we begin 2020 the North node. OUR LIFE LESSON now is in Cancer, trying to get us to seek SAFETY and reconnection to our tribes. North Node in Cancer; I am here to flourish and encourage my intuition, nurture myself more and more deeply connect with my core source ; The south Node is in Capricorn traveling with Jupiter, Saturn and Pluto trying to get us to remember once upon a time when the good of the MANY outweighed the needs of the ONE: South Node in Capricorn; I am here to REMEMBER to assist others, to find my own accomplishments not just for me but for the world, I accept duty and obligations and will help where this help is going to be used and perhaps even appreciated; tradition is important to me as I work to help people help themselves, to see the bigger picture outside of clan, or city, or country, or race or religion ON MAY 4, 2020 the north Node what we must learn moves to GEMINI North Node in Gemini I am here to be open to new ideas, communicate more, be more willing to be flexible in ideas and encounter new people, places and things: And the South Node moves to Sagittarius Node in Sagittarius I am here to remember that I know how to find my truth, my own sense of what is right and move this energy out to others, to teach and to find truth ****************************************************************** *********************************************************** CHIRON is known as the WOUNDED HEALER and its entry last year into ARIES signaled that now we have to work for our healing … July 11 CHIRON Rx at 9 Aries SD on 12/15/2020 moves direct at 5 Aries ****************************************************** 2019 was a #3 year of ideas and learning and 2020 is a #4 year of CREATING THE FOUNDATIONS for our future YOU PERSONALLY are in a year so we add the year to the month YEARS or months are about new beginnings and a new start to a NEW cycle of your life is about partnerships and cooperation is about learning and communication and opening to new ideas is about security, home, family, and building secure foundations is the year of CHANGE, and the wild card, expect new opportunities 6 is the number of love, service without getting as much back, and LOVE 7 is the number of FINALLY, I am beginning to get IT. & spirituality 8 is reward, respect, recognition, money and time to let go of obstacles? 9 is the ending of a cycle, time to get rid of what is no longer working in your life and time to begin to plan again for the cycle to repeat itself 11 is a MASTER Spiritual number of connections to self and others 22 is a MASTER builder on the Material level number 33 is a combination of both of the above TRULY anytime things add to a 44 or 55 or 66 or 77 or 88 or 99 I PAY attention that something special may be going on in that persons life or in that particular year for them.
