What a rollercoaster of a year this has been and the ride is far from over. At year’s start, optimism over positive change was very high. There have been twists and turns, victories and disappointments. But this month it should be clear that although there is much to do and setbacks will occur, the positive changes are in place and continuing to evolve. Through this month, the Saturn square Pluto is very tight and active, seeming at times to return conservatism to power, but in reality it will be loosening its hold. Greater and deeper exposure of the past administration will continue. This is not to say that the plutocracy is dead. Vigilance will always be required. As noted last month, Jupiter is now direct and this month completes its conjunction to Neptune and semi-sextile to Uranus. We do indeed live in interesting times. Participate. A brief glance ahead shows the Uranus semi-sextile Neptune will remain with us through 2012, supporting positive changes of all kinds. The first two months of the year, however, will be dominated by the Saturn square Pluto. This will seem to fade out somewhat through the late spring and early summer to return full strength in the late summer well into the fall.
