I feel fucking fantastic…. Thank YOU!

The pendulum of this universe gravitates heavily towards the negative. Voids envelope space; the space we explore in mind and matter. Managing within this strain, propelling up, out and over the hurdle of ‘blah’. Transcendence, through diligence. Balancing what was once off kilter.

Feeling that undeniable weight, now lifted –Shinning, shinning through just how I imagined. Holding on for my dear life to this sacred moment. Taking the time to wrap myself in this newly established reality, which opens the doors I’ve been knocking on; as of late, I’ve just been wanting to knock them down. Patience makes perfect. There have been some large discouragements, and I have just wanted to wash my hands of responsibility and move away from the history here. Home is where the heart is. Tucson has always kept me grounded, and together we have grown.

For now, I will let the following 2009 Scorpio horoscope speak for me… as things are already in fruition. With more to come:

Year Ahead

Dear Scorpio,

You are not generally accused of being a pushover. Even though you like the idea of peace, harmony and balance in your life and relationships very much, you like getting your way even better. And in a certain sense it is working on a happy medium between these two extremes that will characterize your year ahead.

In the coming year, your sun, moon, Mars and Mercury will all be in the sixth house of details, effort, health, daily routine, maintenance, and craftsmanship. More or less the daily grind. You are wrapped up in whatever it is that you are doing and you are in the zone. Long term plans are certainly a big part of your life but right now you are in the midst of doing all of the small chores that will ultimately land you exactly where you want to be. And with Mars and Mercury assisting your sun and moon, you are truly feeling something that you enjoy quite a lot; a tremendous solidarity of effort and purpose. You are taking your time and lining up the puzzle pieces just as you want them and are quite content in this effort.

You are so content with this as a matter of fact, that all you really want at the end of the day is an easy slice of home life to let you relax for a little while. This is where things may get tricky. Perhaps for the first time in quite a while you are not ruling your kingdom with a velvet glove, maneuvering your lovers and friends into aquiescing to your desires, but rather you are being relatively easy going, engulfed as your are in your personal projects. So why is it now that they are throwing all kinds of obstacles your way??

You just want some peace and quiet in the evening and they want to re-run the list of problems you have been going over together for ages. You do charming, thoughtful things to please them and this only leads to conversations about why you couldn’t have engaged in this behavior sooner! Oh, Scorpio, it must seem terribly unfair. With Uranus in your house of friends, even your pals are behaving in a wildly unpredictable and sometimes annoying manner. You can honestly say that you just want everybody to be happy and free so why is this happening to you?

Well, there is a heavy Virgo emphasis in your chart this year and Virgo is very fussy and meticulous. You, of course, are spinning this to your advantage, at least in your professional life. But it seems like it is being used against you in your personal life. Saturn, planet of reality and consequences, is in Virgo in your 5th house of true love and romance. This is an interesting placement. For some of you, the uncomfortable questions that Saturn raises here will bring the remaining relationship issues out into the front to be resolved, paving the way for a more serious commitment, even marriage. If this is you, then congratulations. This placement can be a positive influence if you are realistic and sincere about owning up to the issues that you have created and truly listening to your partner.

Others of you could find yourself at the make it or break it point of your relationship. Jupiter in Capricorn informs this aspect as well, reminding you that for every action there is an equal reaction. Keep this in mind as you sort out your relationship situations. If you are single there is a strong chance that you could meet somebody special this year, just get ready for all of these issues to play themselves out there as well. It will be intense!

Your mind is really on your career this year as you are feeling more clear and focused in your direction than you have recently, but inter-personal relations are certainly going to be demanding a fair amount of your attention. But there are several fascinating lessons to be learned from this, dear Scorpio. First, is perhaps that you cannot control everything all the time, even you can only have your eye on so many balls at once. Especially during the times that you are focused on one thing, the universe may throw a lot more your way for consideration. Secondly, while these aspects certainly seem heavily weighted towards the romance side of your life, these questions of behavior and harmony in relationships, are certainly much greater. Take this time to consider how you treat all of the people in your life and how they have been experiencing their relationship with you, and make any necessary adjustments.

Finally, you are really in the midst of a wonderful period of identifying your relationship with the world at large right now; who you want to be in the bigger picture, where you fit in and what your legacy will be. This is genuine and empowering. Heeding the lessons you are learning in your personal life will help you get there better, stronger and faster than ever.

“There’s just a lot more to our projects, that Christopher and I have developed between us in the last 4 years, than we could possibly help others to understand. That is four years of constant project development. We have done a whole lot of talking and concept building.

While our issue has been money, that isn’t what fuels our passions. So where money has been presented to us in the most lucrative ways, we have denied it. We may be a couple of fools, but we just don’t see the world getting any better if we keep “selling out” as people.

When you look at the market today, the facts are big corporations are going belly-up. Little folks running websites out of their homes are bringing in the million-dollar-ideas. I have read a lot of stories, and they all struggled themselves into near-eviction before they made it to the top. It can be a stressful route, but at the end of the day… I know what the world is made of, and it isn’t money.

The human experience has been an ingenious evolution, accompanied by inventions, art and literature. The stories of religion frame our beliefs, art opens our eyes to a new world, and inventions propel our world into the evolution we seek.

I don’t know if you remember one of the first times we ever had coffee together. Before Krislynn was even expected. I told you, I “felt” something, a Renaissance was on the horizon. My vision hasn’t changed. It has only been reaffirmed by people such as Mic, or the millions who share their views via the web. It’s a beautiful synchronicity. That is what we aim to grab a hold of, for the greater good of… The world.

Vanessa had told us numerous times, “Have you ever seen SLC Punk? What if you guys turn out like the punks from the 80’s, completely wrong.” As they apparently screwed themselves over, believing the system would fall. If nothing cataclysmic happens, praise us all! I surely don’t really WANT to see the world in shambles, only to build itself back up through the burning passions in our souls.

The issue, however, has always been that generations drop the torch. Even during the 60-70’s “revolution”, those damn hippies sold out to the 9-5 and let the world fall down to what it is today. When I see our parents’ generation, I see all the things they never accomplished. For what? Because they were fooled into thinking that money fueled life.

I am not going to go insane, that is for sure! I continue to thank my Mother not only for her insane display of the self, but her strength in making it through no matter the circles she winds in.

Anyhow. I merely wanted to give you a more proper response. That’s how I do it. Like a novel… That I plan to write when we retire to a cabin, away from everything in my years of grandchildren. For now, I don’t talk much. Actions speak louder than words, and I am feverish to leave a legacy. ;)”

I most certainly cannot *make* everyone vote, let alone for a specific candidate. I have done what I can to challenge their differing perspectives, however.

As much as the world can depend upon the choices we all make as individuals, there is no changing the inevitable. We are sure to experience a dramatic change no matter the man in office. Their presence could lead to a multitude of possibilities, and reactions within the US and beyond.

This may sound pretty laid-back for Jackie, but “Live and let die”. Ebb and flow is what keeps our balance, in this hectic world. I look to secure the bond between those of us who view the world from a similar scope. So no matter what, there is an undeniable communal force that will lift us up beyond the choices of a leader.
