Lions and Lambs

The Spring Equinox this year, 2010, is on Saturday 20 March at 17.32 U.T./GMT;- a point in the Year equivalent to the "Big Bang"- as a new cycle comes to birth, arising from the amniotic waters of Pisces.Each year a reminder of the cyclic, but also spiralic, nature of all existence.
The last 10 days (..the ScorpioDecanate) of Pisces have Mars as a sub-ruler, as have the first 10 days of Aries -(the Aries Decanate), and one can appreciate the 20 day span of this Planet's stirring, stimulating, influence as Winter tips into spring. The irresistable force of new Life.Green shoots piercing the humus, leaping Lambs, and the joyful time of Easter. The Infant Year, Aries the Lamb, drawn from the gestating depths of Winter, and the Chamber of Dreams - Pisces.
In the Southern Hemisphere- the reverse- the Year in mid-life, the fruits developed from blossoms long since gone.

Mars, Aries! = Rams, Arise! (Anagram ).As for Mars - it/he has been on one of those regular (every 2 years or so), longish Retrograde passages- a line-of-sight phenomenon cased when the Earth (on the "inside" track) 0vertakes Mars (on the "outside" track) causing Mars to seem to be slipping backwards. Similar to the experience of being on a train which is overtaking another train alongside- the "other" train then seems to be going backward. Illustrates the need to stand well back (in one's mind) from the whole process of living on this Planet in order to observe and better understand how things look from a reasonable distance... Mars is clearly visible now, forming an alignment with Procyon , and Sirius, in the late evening sky. Find Mars, elevated, orange-red, and let the eye follow downwards to Procyon and the twinkling radiant Sirius low on the horizon.
Mars, then, began to Retrograde on 20 Dec 2009, and turned Direct/ceased to Retrograde on 10 March 2010, and finally leaves the Retrograde "loop" on 17 May 2010. The "Fire" of Mars, while "loitering" in early Leo has been seen in Greece:- Natal Sun 0 degrees Leo, - Chart of 24 July 1974- public unrest and anger ;- and around the many tributes paid to Michael Foot, a Hero (Mars) of the Left and a man with profound and sincere Democratic instincts- born 23 July 1913.Plenty of huffing and puffing,too as the Political Pugilists set out their Fairground pitches.If there is a General Election on 6 May, as expected, with Sun closely squaring Mars, then the scene resembles rather a Tournament, complete with dented helmets, splintered lances, etc...now, now, boys!!

On the "Lion" theme - I see that David Icke's next book is entitled "The Lion sleeps no more"and will be published in April - with Mars still in Leo. Probably a good read.And respect here to a man who has done so much to expose some very uncomfortable truths concerning the Human world. Icke has South Node in 27 degrees Leo - indicating that "past life" experience featured this Sign and its lessons. North Node in 27 Aquarius - suggests a desire to share, circulate, disseminate the information that liberates.

Incidentally, are "Chemtrails" intended to degrade the Bee population to the extent that, oh dear! , the only solution open would be the use of "GM" crops and seeds with all the repercussions, dependency, genetic "lottery" etc.? Surely not! But, if so - HOW DARE THEY!.(if anyone has definitive knowledge of this subject - I would like to know the facts concerning this...).

A Quote here from Rudolf Steiner:- "History cannot be permanently falsified, the myth cannot stand up to the scrutiny of research, the sinister web will be brought into the Light and torn to pieces, however artfully it has been spun".
Collected from the website of Ian Crane. Under a heading "The Karma of Untruthfulness".

However, we are "all in the same boat" and it is LIGHT, rather than Heat, that will illuminate the way and encourage companions, followers and friends.
