Capricorn Christmas energy

Wow! What a Christmas, at least energetically. There was intense energy happening in various parts of the planet and apparently our sky as an asteroid identified as 2000 CH59 passed by early in the eastern part of the world on Dec. 26 and late on Christmas in the western region. A solar eclipse was also happening at this time.

This phenomena is not only tied to astrology and astronomy, it includes geological effects. Our planet is at an amazing timeframe of energy as scientists confirm the magnetic north is moving at various paces. At first it was progressing in a slow, random manner but now appears to be headed toward Siberia at 25 to 34 miles per year. Though that may seem slow to some, it is significant to a possible polar reversal.

Many scientists assume not much will happen to our planet as we know it, except for navigation issues and flight control. In fact, with the current energy from the South Atlantic Anomaly (SAA) possibly bringing in more radiation as Earth's magnetic field continues to weaken and different anomalies show up elsewhere, we may all be experiencing an influx of energy in which we must prepare ourselves by drinking (preserving and purifying) water and staying hydrated, as well as protecting ourselves from too much solar radiation while outdoors.

Happy New Year from the Gregorian Calendar perspective! The year 2020 might just be a hotter, brighter, potentially faster kind of year.

I have always believed there are significant points in time which should and do matter to our planet and humanity. My beliefs have been confirmed in studies and current events, which have included such subjects as Geology, Physical Geography, and readings of various cultural beliefs.

The truth of the matter is I pay attention to the Mayan Calendar. There is a significance to 2012, which studies in Astrology also confirm. Our current state of existence is in a precious space/time point where different types of energy fluctuate and natural occurrences recycle over time. Such action is taking place at this moment - not at an alarming rate but surely progressing. Indeed! Natural cycles appear to occur which affect humanity and other species on earth, but how does it effect our intellect? Will we all witness a transformation so epic that only a few will remain to tell their version of what happened ... as has happened in past times? Such occurrences are rare and do happen; humanity will simply respond, especially with our type of intellect.

We are in a phenomenal space/time zone where innovation is flourishing and limits are expanding. Scientists are finding planetary bodies which mimic Earth's climate -- exoplanets which could carry life similar to ours. Now is the time for us to become aware of our human potential and how it is impacting our state of existence. Even the possibility of extraterrestrial life is becoming closer to actualization while some are on the verge of replicating human existence from laboratories with their design of brain functions, clones, and expansive research that will continue to save and change more lives. It is a time to put attention to how brilliant our own species is developing and expanding.

Though such innovation and new experiences are unbelievable, our environment is sensitive to such human impact. Pollution and smog, for example, create problems which affect health and climate. Whether we like to admit it or not, Nature reacts to any and all changes which are carried out from human interference, including gaseous air, wildfires, water pollution, altered landscape, even  famine. Though we have shown enduring responses with artificial environments, which can and does mimic nature, such types of environments (and laboratories) are still at its premature levels; humanity may still have to test and use survival skills to advance or preserve natural living in these environments just mentioned.

Spirituality, on the other hand, is an intuitive belief system, dear to many. How it recalls the origin of existence, the fate of many, and the karmic reaction to all that takes place in this experience called life may be impacted not only by unseen guidance that is beyond logical comprehension, but also cyclical occurrences. It is hard to refute cycles which naturally occur or result from an experience already witnessed, but many do believe in fate and karma. No matter the differences in belief systems, time and space have shown the likeliness of certain events taking place which will eventually affect life and environment. It is happening now, but Science is still studying it. We are fortunate to experience these levels of change and occurrences which have a high likeliness of occurring but during a different time and space. Now may be the time to realize and prepare for such great changes.

Cancer Season and Retrogrades

It is no surprise some of us may be feeling stuck within our individual self, with five planets retrograde to Earth's point-of-view and Chiron, the Wounded Healer also retrograde in Aries. What does this all mean? Since Saturn, Pluto, Jupiter, Neptune, and Mercury all seem to be going backwards according to our earthly perspective, it is their aspects which are driving many of us into deep thinking, deep feeling, and even going static. Many of us may experience delays, karmic relations, and even unusual solitude - as if some of us need to hideaway from our everyday experiences or worldly views. It is okay to retreat now-and-then as long as we also realize that we are at a stage where we are clearing out past experiences and trying to welcome in new ones.

It is currently Cancer Season and the sign of Cancer is known for being emotional, family-oriented, and deeply attached. Cancer loves the comfort of home and knowing there are those waiting for him or her to return from whatever journey is underway. It is also Eclipse Season, so there is a very karmic knot tied to new beginnings and overdue endings. All of this is occurring while planets are in retrograde and the north node is in the sign of Cancer, while the south node is in Capricorn. Capricorn is hosting Saturn and Pluto retrogrades, and even though Saturn is the ruling planet of Capricorn - meaning it is restrictive, concrete, and responsible, it is also peering over each soul as if some of us must meet certain karmic obligations. Pluto, in the meantime, is playing with our psyche and mind, and perhaps forcing some of us to dig deep into our meaning and purpose.

Jupiter is at home in its own sign of Sagittarius and Neptune, as well, in Pisces. Both are retrograde, which means for Jupiter in Sag., some of us may be actively thinking of searching for new beginnings or something different, and more than usual, while also considering changing parts of our own lifestyle. Neptune retrograde in Pisces may have us in a dreamland we do not want to leave, and to even do so may be quite foggy for a lot of us.

The notorious Mercury Retrograde may be causing electronics to go haywire, traffic to be absurd, and/or communication to be slower than usual, or perhaps that is just the way some of us roll! Sure, many of us can blame Mercury going backwards for some crazy occurrences happening in our individual life, but the truth of the matter is that Mercury is a fast-moving planet, and when it appears to be going backwards from our perspective, it seems to slow down time. So, perhaps many of us are aware that we need to slow down and things are happening before our very eye which is causing us to realize these kinds of moments.

The biggest effect most likely felt right now is Chiron going retrograde in Aries. Chiron is a wounded healer, but also an asteroid, so it is seen as an outcast that cuts deep into our healing soul. In other words, anyone who knows what it is to be hurt perhaps by those we love or had trusted is revisiting certain emotions and wounds which need more time to heal or pass. It is in the sign of Aries, so some of us may be experiencing egotistical defeats since many of us rely on our ego to dictate our self-confidence and worth. Just know that even though Chiron is reopening wounds, it is only to lead many back to their higher self.

Are you Feeling the Energy?

Today was strong in terms of solar energy -- all of a sudden, I was experiencing a high-level of stressful energy mixed with a wandering mind while dealing with business as usual, which can be tough at times! I usually look to the stars for familiar aspects which can and do often appear in natural cycles, but this energy was so strong! I have to think it was due to more than meets the eye:

Memory Box

It is mostly a memory now, the part I took in bringing info. from the Reggae-Rock scene to the people and fans. It all seemed so easy; yet, it was work! It was a great freelance job because it was and still can be considered a movement - there are people who use this music to alleviate some of their stress from everyday demands and injustices. It is a nice way to unwind or just listen to some really good tunes. I had it all when I wrote about music because I was able to check it out and then tell a story. It was awesome!

Nowadays, I wonder whether I should keep it all in a memory box. It is hard because I am with a musician who is still active in his band. In fact, the band is great and I should be excited that I get to go to their shows and listen to powerful music. It is more relaxing and fun to enjoy music vs. criticize it. Here I am, however, trying to decide if I should get involved again.

There are many reasons why I do not want to go down that road another time. I have tried my hand twice at getting involved in the music scene and I did not enjoy doing so as a journalist. I did not like having to compete with non-media to secure passes, I do not enjoy the favoritism, and it is, indeed, work. In fact, the main reason I would go back to reporting on the happenings is to bring information to the people. I believe I am doing some a favor by delivering awareness on what can touch a soul or move a body. I just cannot stand the industry portion of the music scene.

I am here with Pandora's Box and it is as if angels are telling me to go out and give information freely to the masses; yet, I still hesitate. Information is not free - in fact, it takes a lot of time and dedication. It can be enjoyable but it is a job. Although I could be useful to many parts of it, something is also telling me to leave it in the past. I should let it go like so many other things on my wish-list.

Institution of Marriage

The topic of marriage has been on my mind seeing how I am - how does one say, unmarried. It is not the smartest decision since I cohabit and have kids. In fact, I do feel like an outsider. I feel like an ol' prostitute popping babies I have no business having because society silently dictates they are bastards and will most likely become beggars who remain in peasantry for the New Age.

I live a normal life under a roof, working and taking care of kids and their father. It seems pretty official I should be Married, with children. The reason - yet again - I choose not to get married is because I do not believe in the institution of it. It is so confining! Though I see how commitment is crucial, I do not think one must take a vow of "'til death do us part."

There was a time when a friend suggested divorce is common and a grand option. As many would concur, Then, what is the point??! In a way, that is my point! That, right there, proves both statements cancels one another - thus, end of story.

The real reason I do not care for the institution of marriage is because it is - yet again - another institution. I have spent so much of my life trying to understand institutions and society. To me, one cannot exist without the other. It is so complex (rather, such a complicated relationship) that whoever said we enter this world as either a slave or prisoner is somewhat correct.

Oh-no! I am complaining again. Waah, waah, waah! Life is so hard! Most of us have to work to make a living under a concrete system which often slants progress with little payback. Waah! To some who only focus on work, money, and fleeing relationships, especially those involving that which can and does perpetuate humanity but without "getting involved" -- sure, most can find sooooooo much time to do as they please. Actually, that is to state, they have a lot of opportunity to climb various ladders and stay afloat ... in buildings. Lets be honest, most can and do take the elevator, live an indoor, comfortable life, and simply use the excuse of travel as their vacation time while claiming to also have glorious (lonely) lives. That is their chance and choice to do as they please. Sure!

As for the 70 percent of us, give or take, who contribute to various industrialized nations and commerce, we are the ones who often have a family, buy the house and cars, and help economies and communities thrive. We are the ones who prolong the world through business, culture, and even the endeavor of humanity, which is simply to experience, grow and live. We contribute (enormously) to lifestyles and development, and are the hardworking families who, in essence, need the legality of the institution of marriage for our family.

Let us think, for a moment, how most children come into industrialized nations - born in a hospital, often go to a childcare facility or preschool at an toddler age; then, enter elementary, middle and high school, and eventually go to college. Afterwards, that same human being gets a job for the next 30 years or so. During this development, many can and do fall in love and will likely get married or cannot wait to do so. He or she will probably have a family or build in other ways. Eventually, that person or persons will strive to reach the institution of retirement. (An "institution" is used here because it is the organization of saving money, which will likely be invested in another institution that borrows and then pays back that money.)

Everything appears to be an institution! I am unsure how and who can stand to exist and breathe in such a way as to be raised mostly by institutions for the majority of one's life. I cannot imagine being indoors almost all of my life because I would not be able to tolerate that. To me, that is probably why so many people who live and work in industrialized nations end up divorced, broke, or angry.

To conclude on the institution of marriage, I find it beautiful that many look forward to having a grand wedding and building a life together -- possibly even having a family. It is actually the essence of life to create and keep a family, or tribe. Sure, it is like performing a magic show on a balance beam - one is constantly showcasing what looks like a well-rehearsed performance while maintaining his or her balance in life. Many know this kind of natural living makes one commit time and dedication, particularly with children. So then, one must prepare him or herself to endure quite a lifestyle; thus, one should get married, be involved, and join institutions - particularly that of the marrying kind.

Though it appears natural to form a relationship and have a family, it also requires work, tradition, and commitment. One should prepare for the grand act of bringing offspring into the world and maintaining relationships. It is, indeed, quite an experience! That is not to state that one is a failure if he or she is either under- or un-prepared. It is simply to state that such a great responsibility requires one to join various kinds of institutions involving society, economics, and personal relationships, and one must be prepared for that, which is why many of us grow up among institutions.

I do not wish to take the fun out of a marriage for anyone because, on the contrary, I believe a ceremony which involves two beings in love should be celebrated since it honors the unifying of two separate families who grow into one. It is a grand occurrence and should be looked at with great wonder because it is beautiful and seemingly ever-lasting. And, even if it is not, it is a wonderful experience, great commitment, and a treasure to be able to be intimate and part of a growing family. Though it also seems natural two lovers would want to stay together as long as possible to raise a child, that is not always the case; still, it is an unique experience for anyone and I am happy to see so many want to continue the tradition of house, marriage, and family. Perhaps the institution of marriage is not so bad!

Forward On!

It might just be an unique perspective to view certain topics so passionately as to not be able to quit 'em. The SD Liz Lifestyle has been one of music, politics, astrology, health, and world issues. In fact, there are so many topics at hand, I find it amazing that so many appear to cruise through life so casually and not care about various topics. It may be easier to simply state how many are still asleep and need to WAKE UP to their surroundings.

To start, the energy of current times does appear to be changing. There are credible sources which point to changes in Earth's rotation and its magnetic pull. Weather occurrences and temperature variation are showing fluctuations, which have an impact on environment. Nowadays, many also cannot deny the impact of human pollution.

If one pays attention to the political arena, there are various issues arising more and more each day. Most of it appears to deal with debt. Other issues appear to be about government and how people are being governed. In the USA, some people are taking to social media to question their democracy and whether their vote and voice matters. Indeed, political uprisings are very telling of how groups of people are feeling with their everyday life.

For the last few months and until March in Astrology, the Full Moon has occurred at zero degrees of each new sign. Time-wise, the end of 2019 might be pivotal since it occurs seven years since the significance of the year, 2012. Many astrologers are also expressing messages of "letting go of the past." Perhaps humanity has actually entered a New Age and it has now fully began.

Though there are many topics which could be discussed, there continues to be a need for productivity. The economy is important in the everyday life of various people - if not the majority of them. Without the wheels and revolving doors of monetary policy, the gears of reality would appear to stop. Once more banks and businesses realize the importance of investing in one of the most vital resources, which includes workers and their family, they may begin to realize the role most of them perform in revitalizing economies.

Until then, there are so many topics at hand which should be addressed. Though it was a pleasure to actively showcase many of the subjects just mentioned, it is time to move, "Forward On" and focus on that which is most important. For me, that is the continuance of writing and bringing attention to chosen issues which have my attention - my full attention.

Take care out there!
