Canadian politics hasn’t been this interesting in ages… Now we have an eight-week cooling period and I have some new charts to look at thanks to Chris McRae’s comments and her research into the various dates and times—thank you Chris. The Ratification date of our constitution by the King or sovereign on March 29, 1867 looks very interesting in light of the proroguing of government. The announcement was broadcast at 9:43 EST in Ottawa. It looks like Harper came on the air at 9:44:19 EDT. I will be looking at more charts… the lack of times means that we may not get the full picture but the planetary influence will give us many clues, which can make the analysis intriguing. BTW, all of the comments need to be approved by yours truly to prevent ‘spamming’ for traffic; however, comments by people who post a real name and email will be posted. More later…about what I can derive from astrological ‘clues’ re the Liberal Party conundrum and what might happen late January…

Inspiring reading

A few months ago I picked up a copy of Paulo Coelho’s book–the Alchemist. It turned out to be a delightful read. I loved the way it makes you think about life and our journey through it. Left that book with a girlfriend, who was equally delighted with the book. It is making the rounds now. At the moment, I am reading his book ‘The Witch of Portebello’; the story of Athena through the lens of people who knew her. If you are looking for a good book for the holidays; I highly recommend these two.

For us astrologers both books have a mythological and astrological thread to them. In the first one I found a highly Mercurial theme and this one has interesting concepts to link to the Vertex in the astrological chart and in life.

Pluto moved into Capricorn a week ago, and Saturn is slowing down and will station retrograde this month. Pluto’s shift influences us for 14 years and the intent is to change the way we govern our business and our countries. There has to be a solid plan and a sound plan to execute changes. Saturn’s retrograde period lasts 4.5 months and begins this month—this tends to mean that business slows down while we ‘research’ our options. For a year and a half we will have ‘battles’ about what structures need to be broken and which are working. For the first time in ages, Canadians are fired up about politics. This is my analysis of the players in this drama and the potential outcome. Yes, I expect we will have another federal election › Continue reading
