The Vancouver riot was sheer lunacy and it had to have been a bunch of lunatics that instigated it and participated in it. How could our very own kids, wholesome ‘Canucks’ that they are, with all the privileges of the very free and permissive society they live in, engage in such mayhem and destruction? After some severe ass chewing and major finger pointing among the power types, everyone walked away scratching their heads in wonderment as to what the hell happened to our beautiful city.
Even among the competent astrologers, no one knew that game seven was heading our way on June 15, until it was nearly upon us. While it is too late to close the barn door on this one, it might be possible for us to learn from our mistakes and use all of the facilities and tools available when we’re in the midst of long-term planning for future major events.
The ancients had this stuff figured out and you can bet your bottom loonie they kept a keen eye on what the stars had to say. They were well aware of the Moon’s effect upon all of life’s activities and events. Full Moons, eclipses and such were harbingers of positive or negative experiences. Every day, the Moon moves about 13 degrees of longitude with the fixed stars in the background. The ancients called these 13-degree increments ‘nakshatras’ or lunar mansions. They noticed that, when the moon moved through some of these lunar mansions, there were happy and peaceful times while other nakshatras would bring an evil chill to the air with horrendous events taking place.
Well, guess what folks? The full Moon lunar eclipse on June 15 took place while the moon was moving though the 19th nakshatra named Mula. The goddess Nirritti presides over this nakshatra and she is the goddess of destruction and mayhem. Anger, violence, hostilities and riotous energies prevail when the Moon moves through this nakshatra. Add to the equation the full Moon eclipse energy, a massive crowd fuelled by alcohol and a disappointing loss and, as they say, the rest is history.
Now the spin masters have us voting yes or no on the HST and as we know, “Yes” means no and “No” means yes. The stars will assist on this one as Mercury goes retrograde on August 2 while in opposition to Neptune. This configuration stays in place throughout the first half of August, bringing confusion, obstruction, deception, delays, misconception and other confoundedness that will make our collective heads spin. I don’t know about you, but I’m heading to the beach.
