Turbulent Times - updated September 30, 2008

As Pluto hovers near Aries Point (i.e. zero degree Capricorn) the world’s financial systems are rocked, and major change is expected by all, both economically and politically.  Capricorn rules the structures of government and the financial system - as Pluto purges out the toxic debt instruments (and their holders) from the market, there will be a leaner, stronger system that will come out in the end. 

In our personal lives, this may also be a time some of our unrealistic expectations are being shattered, and we may be having to clean out some toxins from out own physical or emotional systems.   This is a great time to be cleaning out wastes and old items that we won’t need anymore from our house.

The market has shown that the false wealth can be destroyed, but true values are here to stay.  Same goes for the things that we value - fake reputation or friendships will lose their charm, and we’ll need to go back to the basics to see what is really meaningful and important to us.

What makes you feel alive and connected?  Who is your real support in challenging times? What can you start doing today that will make you feel leaner and stronger, able to meet tomorrow’s challenges?
