I am compelled by the beauty of my child’s soul, to write this on behalf of all children out there, young and old in age, but forever young n spirit!

We are so often swayed by the material life, and began to grow “up”. We get serious, and assume the bondage of our ego and go forth, leaving behind the fun and novelty that children need. In some cases, leaving behind the need to socialize and be part of a commUnity. Going into our shell communicating only by computer, chained to our crackberrys…”Success, we declare!” See how productive I am!

How about being productive to our spiritual being? The undying child that continues to learn at every turn, rebirth, whatever you believe (key word inside: lie) is not what your spirit wants, Freewill!

Being an active part of a commUnity… How do we make our lives Relevant?? Let us ponder that…

In keeping time to the Universe’s heartbeat, we must further explore another cataclysmic happening in the cosmos tomorrow, Jan 15th! Tune in to the higher meaning of it all globally and in your life! Life is journey, have the foresight to enjoy it!

the following excerpt is taken from : www.astrology.com

The astrological energy from January 13-15 is almost epic. On the 13th, Saturn turns retrograde in Libra; two days later, there is an annual solar eclipse of the Sun at the new Moon of Capricorn. This eclipse is in conjunction with Venus, on the very same day Mercury turns direct after several weeks of retrograde motion. Globally, this transit should be beneficient and pleasurable, releasing built-up tension and leading toward a brand new beginning for the world.

On a more personal level, this solar eclipse can have a major effect on our personal lives when it occurs in conjunction with one of our natal planets — especially our natal Sun, Moon, ruling planet or the Moon’s nodes, ascendant, mid heaven. Where the eclipse falls in one’s chart is significant, as the energies expressed by its house placement will show areas of life affected by this eclipse’s implied new beginnings.

This eclipse has love karma written all over it! Love and partnerships are serious business right now!

The new Moon is also time to set an intention. Venus is the ruler of the new Moon, while Saturn is in Libra. Mercury turns direct later the same day, but Mars is still retrograde and Mercury is in Capricorn, so expect things to be slow for a while.

WE are descendants of Stars! Not Hollywood ones, but real ones from the Heavens above Us. In a sense we are all star-crossed lovers! But we need not stumble around blindly through life. We have a map! There are auspicious times and bad times to do important things in life. Astrology help us understand the nature of the 7 creative planet’s qualities and how they impact our day to day lives. From time to time I will be dropping important info regarding planetary happenings. Think of it as your CNN of the Stars to the Streets. Let’s go visit our friend Saturn, law of Karma, the taskmaster of the zodiac.

Saturn turns retrograde on January 13 and all of us will feel the energy of Saturn retrograde in Libra in one way or another. Saturn is charged with the duty of teaching us our lessons in life — giving us the ability to grow and persevere, granting us the will to succeed and the strength to accomplish the tasks at hand. As we learn, we are rewarded by Saturn when the lesson or job is done.

The energy of Saturn retrograde is a fairly powerful force. This is an excellent time to grasp that retrograde energy, to bring projects to completion, and to let go of old problems and issues. By letting go of self-limitations, the future becomes more exciting and clear.

While this may not be the best time to launch new projects, it is a fabulous time to start working on those plans — particularly because of the Libra energy entwined in this retrograde. The plans you make now, if the foundation you have built is solid, will most likely begin to manifest when Saturn goes direct on May 30, 2010.
