Pleiadian Message 2019 - 2020
Hi everybody, welcome,
And now, due to popular demand, I shall bring you the Pleiadians, to see what they would like to share with you from their perspective about the year coming up to 2019 to 2020.
Well this is a big year coming and many changes are coming. Of course there are always changes happening we are going to share with you of the year major changes that we see coming.
Water will be an issue. Water is going to be key in this coming year. Don’t underestimate water. Especially water as far as flooding is concerned. Too much water, too little water, extremes around water we are seeing. But it’s really going to be important to make sure that you tune in to Mother Earth and listen to where the water is going to be, because Mother Earth is transmitting messages all the time. There is information for you out there all the time and you will need to find ways of tuning in to it and that’s going to be your challenge. This coming year is to tune in to mother Earth messages.
Listen carefully, watch the animals and listen to the trees, listen to the skies and listen to the earth. Even put your ear to the earth from time to time. IYou’d be amazed that the messages of information you can learn. You’ll be guided as to where to live, which room to sleep in, which room to eat. Ask! You’ll find yourself being moved. We know it sounds strange to some of you, but you know it’s time to get over strangeness.
Yes, it’s strange if you look at Barbara. She’s got her eyes closed and we’re coming through, but it’s time to reduce your inflammatory responses to what seems strange or odd. You’re always trying to fit in, trying to compromise. You’re trying to find ways to feel comfortable around other people. Don’t look for that. Don’t look for comfort anymore. Not in that way that you used to do. Each one of you has got something special that cannot be compared to another.
You are constantly being guided and all you have to do is ask for the diamonds. Many of you asked ‘how can I tune in with the Pleiadians?’ Well, we’re all around you. We’re in that space that you think is empty, which of course is not empty. It’s teeming with life, with things that you cannot perceive with your five senses. And you’ll be awakening other senses. You’ll be awakening other abilities, other antenna are coming to life.
Begin to think of yourself as an insect with antennae coming out of your head, looking really like the ET that you really are. You’ve got a lot more antennae than you give yourself credit for. You think you’ve got just eyes and ears. But there is so much more. And we want you to begin to tune into that now.
Living near water, swimming, being in warm water, showering, bathing, these are all good things for softening your energy field.
Anything to do with water is good to heal you quickly. Water is a quick way of healing. It can be done internally and externally. Drinking the rainwater in certain places of the world can be very healing, especially if you pray over it.
It’s time to spread your energy. You’ve kept your energy field small for the most part. You’ll have an opportunity to learn how to spread your energy further, wider, so that you manifest what you want more quickly.
Manifestation is going to speed up. In the past you were taught that you needed to study something for at least 10000 hours before you are proficient at it. That’s not true dear ones, it’s so not true.
So many of you are now remembering things that you’ve not learned in the formal way. Especially the little ones coming in. You’ve got huge resources of energy and yet you keep yourself teeny weeny. If you could just spread yourself out, stretch yourself up and out and around. Stretch out. See your energy emanating far and wide in colours, swirls and beautiful patterns. A bit like the painting behind that we helped with.
Energy swirls, it moves, it shifts. It’s not stagnant. Everything in the body can be healed, you can rejuvenate, revive yourself. There’s going to be so many things that will be reveal themselves to you as you explore this energetics. The field of energetics will be an area to really get into, to look at, to see that you can do beyond matter. You create matter. Not the other way around. It looks as though it’s already here but in reality, you create it. You create your perceptions of matter.
Let yourself loose! You’ve tied yourself up in knots. Let yourself off the lead. The difference between you and a dog is that you don’t realise you’re tethered to a leash. You’ve got so used to all these restrictions and things, that you is normal, and it’s not.
Look at an animal that runs free. Look at a bird that runs free. Don’t you feel sad when you see those birds in cages? Those beautiful little birds, or a dog in a cage, or a cat in a cage... They hate it, don’t they? They can’t bear to be in those little cages. Well much of the time you’re living in the cage.
And we want to see you fly. Come out of the cage, visualize yourselves coming out of the cage. There is so much you can do, experience, and you have it so narrowed down. It’s your conditioning of course and it is changing, rather slowly though, and we are working with you, to expand, to see our spaceships, to see beyond, and some people are saying you’re crazy, what a load of nonsense. I can’t see that. And many can’t and many can. Trust it. Trust yourself and open up. There’s so much more than you can see with your physical senses.
Space travel is going to be a big thing this coming year, especially over the next three or four years. Big big big! You’ll make big strides with space travel, understanding space and ET’s. Yes, that’s going to grow exponentially. And there will be those who disagree heartily and say it’s a load of nonsense, a number those who cannot see us and those who can. Those who can feel us and those who can’t, those who resist us and it’s all alright you see.
Make it all right with you. There is much anger on the planet. Anger is running high. Flames and fires are running high. It’s going to be important to maintain your energy field, to maintain an equilibrium, a sense of gentleness. It’s not to say you won’t get angry because you will. Because there’s so many things going on that really upsets one’s vibrational field from time to time.
It’s very difficult to keep it constantly perfect and in alignment. You know it goes in and out, it’s dynamic. But it’s going to be important to release whatever you’re feeling quickly. Like let it go out. Poof poof, like a firework. And it’s gone. It makes a noise and then it’s finished. It doesn’t go on and on and on... release it. Feel it, let it go, karma gone. Learning to be calm is very important for this coming year. Look at Barbara, don’t you see how much calmer than she was on her videos a few years ago?
She used to be all over the place, frightened of this, frightened of her own shadow. It’s time to find the calmness within you. For the most part nature is calm and quiet. The trees do talk to one another of course. Not in the way that you perceive it, and the flowers do too, but it’s a different kind of communication, it’s a quieter communication.
Learn to communicate more quietly. Learn to express yourself with gentleness, with quietness. It’s going to be very helpful in the turbulence that we see coming and it will be turbulent, goodness gracious it will, but you want some turbulence, because you will get very bored when the seas are very calm. You like it for a little while, then you’re bored.
Every now and again you’ll have a little bit of drama just to spice it up a little bit. It’s like having very bland food. It’s nice to have a little bit of salt and pepper and a little bit of something to spice it up. Spice yourself up.
Many of you asked about climate change. Yes, the climate is changing all right and it’s not something to run away from. Why is the climate changing? How is it affecting us? What can I do in my world that is productive and useful? Don’t worry too much about the climate change because it has always been changing throughout the millennia.
Don’t allow the politicians to frighten you, but most important is to take care of mother Earth, to respect Mother Earth, to be grateful of the sacredness of this planet that you live upon. That is important. To be grateful for your physical body, to be grateful that your heart is beating. To be grateful that you have Pleiadians who share these messages!
We have to lighten you up you know. Keep reminding you to be light. Light light. Yes, we talked about the light, being a light beam, sunshine, bright and light. Focus upon that and you will be guided, and you’ll see where you need to go.
Well, we love you very very very very much and we are ready really now to bring our Barbara back. We hope you’ve enjoyed our messages here today and we’ll be back again with more doubtless soon. Yes. We love you...
Hi everybody, well I hope you’ve enjoyed their messages. Hope some of it resonated, maybe all of it with you. I look forward to hearing any comments that you might have and any questions that you have for the piece please. Please put it on my community page or you can send me an email. My website yourastrologysigns.com, (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HKamDRQ3bEE) from me and them.
Bye for now.

Cardinal Grand Cross - New Paradigm for the Age of Aquarius
There’s so much negative press about the Cardinal Cross, here’s some of the good news:
With Uranus in Aries making challenging aspects to the other planets, we’re going to see BREAKTHROUGHS in every field.
Medical Breakthroughs
When Pluto went into Capricorn at the end of 2008, and Uranus went into Aries during the spring of 2011, this was the start of huge breakthroughs in medicine and in anti-aging research.
More and more scientists are coming to an agreement that we can live to at least 150 years and be in GOOD HEALTH.
Except for a very small minority, no one wants to age and die. Most of use would like to discover the secret of eternal youth, health and vitality. And now, with the advent of the Age of Aquarius, with our information age gathering momentum, this is becoming a possibility and by the middle of this century or sooner it will probably be a reality.
There are scientists whose research is showing that we can maintain, renew and upgrade our physical bodies and enable them to live healthily for many more years and possibly even forever. Twenty years ago, this information would have been unheard of. It’s not quite mainstream yet, but I don’t think it’s far off.
Only last year, Google started a company called Calico which is dedicated to solving the problems of aging.
Stem cell therapy is becoming more and more popular, despite the fact that governments are aggressively regulating it.
Who would have heard of saving your baby’s stem cells? This is becoming more and more widespread and what was once a prohibitive cost is gradually becoming more accessible to the majority. It’s not quite there yet, but it didn’t take long for the mobile phone to be so inexpensive that even people in the 3rd world have access to it. I have no doubt that within the space of maybe 5 or 10 years that this will be something offered to parents as a matter of course.
For adults, it’s not too late either. There are stem cell banks opening up everywhere around the world. It’s still in the early stages, but what was once at least $100000 is now down to around $3000-10000 and I have no doubt that within a very short space of time, as the technology for stem cells advances further, and more positive results ensue, that this will become accessible to the vast majority.
With Pluto in Capricorn involved in this grand cross, governments and the powers that be will not want to lose their control. So I am expecting that they will try to make it difficult for us to access our stem cells, they may place huge taxes on the technology, and somehow they will try to suppress our freedoms. This is where Uranus in Aries has to come in and lead the way. Uranus is all about the new. It rules astrology and anything that is not necessarily accepted by the masses. And you can certainly say that about astrology.
Scientists are predicting that we can have no age related ill health. Elderly people will be able to contribute wealth rather than deplete it from our systems, they will be able to retrain for new careers and best of all they won’t be a burden on their children.
Disability is going to be a thing of the past. No longer will people have to be confined to wheelchairs, to suffer blindness, deafness and many other afflictions. These will all be mastered as technology and medicine unite.
The latest technologically made limbs are stronger, more flexible and durable than our actual body. Technology is making the way for all kinds of gadgets to be worn outside the body that will protect it from injury during exercise, and also enable us to do far more things than we can currently even dream of.
Isn’t this exciting news?
Financial and Economic
Since the near-total collapse of the financial system in 2008, it’s evident that our economies and our financial structures need to urgently change.
The greatest news is, that over time, an economy based on scarcity is giving way to an economy of abundance, changing the very nature of society.
With the advent of 3-D printers, free online education and open-source software, this is going to change the world and how business is done.
We are gradually moving away from the materialistic model of people wanting MORE, MORE, MORE….and it’s never enough, to a new economy where so many of the things that we want and need will be FREE.
Let’s start with FREE ENERGY.
Germany already produces 25% of its energy through solar and wind power. They have achieved this in just 7 years. The big electricity companies have gone out of business and they now hold less than 7% market share. This trend is set to continue in Germany and other countries are beginning to follow suit.
Rapidly advancing technology and the huge reduction in costs are enabling people to create free resources using the power of the sun and the wind. This is going to continue.
Climate change – the major threat
With duality in our world, there is always another side to the situation that needs to be examined.
We mustn’t underestimate the impact that climate change can and will have.
With Neptune in Pisces we are already seeing flooding and major water catastrophes around the world. Remember that this is just the tip of the iceberg. There will be more hurricanes, tsunamis, sinkholes, roads just collapsing even while cars are driving on them (like the one in Maryland this week)………volcanoes erupting, more droughts and extremes in climate.
As a result, our food and our water supplies are going to be at risk. So no matter how wonderful the technology is around us, without our basics, we are not going to survive. As an eternal optimist, I don’t envisage that the whole planet will be consumed with disasters, but there will be many places that may become uninhabitable. The advantage of our technology and my hope is that help and moving people to safer places can happen more quickly than ever before.
Technology going EXPONENTIAL
No one would have thought in 1989 with the launching of the World Wide Web that just 25 years later, the massive adoption of the internet, the pc, the tablet, the iphone and the imminent wearable technology would happen so quickly.
Things that used to take years and generations to overcome and to change are happening within 5 years or less now. It’s tremendously exciting on the one hand, but also can be very frightening on the other. Let me explain why.
As a result of this huge upsurge of technology that utterly changes our lives, we are moving towards an age of automation of many of the tasks that needed labour. More and more people are finding that they are not employable or the skills that they learned have been taken over by robots. There are factories now that are utterly automated. Google has its fleet of automated vehicles and it’s growing. Soon we will have vehicles that are run on solar energy or fuel cells and we won’t need oil and to destroy our world in order to transport ourselves and goods around the planet.
The internet started with communications. This was the dawning of the Age of Aquarius. What is the Age of Aquarius all about?
Aquarius is all about social justice, equality, resources for all, not just the wealthy few. This is what is starting to change:
Aquarius is an air sign – and it rules the air waves – how appropriate that our internet is run along invisible air waves. As an air sign, it specialises in communication, but it wants communication for everyone for the good of the whole. That’s the key difference between Aquarius and the other air signs. Gemini is interested in its environment, in learning, in sharing information. Libra is interested in sharing with a partner, while Aquarius wants to share with humanity as a whole.
And this is the Age of Aquarius that is now happening.
It’s now a SHARING community
People directly engage with each other.
This NEW TECH REVOLUTION – URANUS IN ARIES – IS AS IMPORTANT AS the founding of electricity
The future is the end of work in the way we have known it. That’s the reason so many people are feeling lost, directionless, unsure which direction to go in. We are between paradigms: some are living in the old paradigm, a few have moved to the new one and the vast majority are somewhere in between the two.
I predict that with AI, robotics, virtual retailing, workerless factories, driverless cars, where the notion of work and its place in our lives is going to be transformed.
Here’s the exciting part: the AGE OF AQUARIUS is heralding SOCIAL NETWORKS, a CONNECTED and CARING WORLD.
More and more people will work in culture, sports, arts, human community and thus bringing meaning into our world. It’s so exciting and inspiring!!
We are on the CUSP OF AN ECONOMIC REVOLUTION
With so many free resources, studies are showing that the majority want meaningful work. They want to have easy access to transportation and goods, but they don’t necessarily want to own everything. Instead of being money-motivated, their first priority is soul satisfaction.
With Mars still in Libra, the unrest and the threat of war in the Ukraine and Russia is very real. In July of this year, Jupiter goes into Leo and will strengthen Uranus in Aries, the power of the people, but there will be more tension with its quincunx to Pluto in Capricorn. The powers that be will try more and more underhanded ways to control us, to dupe us, to rob us of our freedom.
However, we the people have more power in our hands than we've ever had. We might not yet realise it because we are still being swamped with lies and nonsense from mainstream media. But many are awakening, and if you are reading this article, you are definitely ready for something new. This is a perfect time for us to come together, to find new ways of working together and to bring about a brighter and happier world.

The Astrology of Edward Snowden and Obama
Up until last week, only a small minority were aware of the US government’s intrusion into our privacy. With the breaking news from Edward Snowden a few days ago, now the world knows. This is the first time that that global media have revealed the extent to which the US government has been spying on all our communications.
The consequences of this are far-reaching. Even if you are not doing anything wrong, you are being watched and recorded. You don’t have to have done anything wrong, you simply have to fall under suspicion from someone and they can go back in time and scrutinise anything you have ever done in the past and probably build a case against you if they really want to.
This article examines astrologically what the triggers were that led to this breaking news.
The square between Uranus and Pluto has been active since 2011. Uranus is all about freedom: freedom of speech, personal liberty. Pluto is all about big government, keeping the status quo, controlling its citizens and acting in secret. Mercury in Cancer triggered the existing square between Uranus and Pluto making up a T square in Cardinal signs which are signs of action. Mercury rules our communications, our speech, our emails, our phone calls – and this was brought out suddenly (Uranus) and showed a very dark and intrusive side to government (Pluto).
Edward was born on 21st June 1983. This is the summer solstice which is quite significant as it is the lightest day of the year, shining a light on dark places.
He has a great deal of Gemini in his chart, Sun, Mercury, Mars and the North Node. Sun and Mars are conjunct, denoting an activist. Someone who is ready to fight for his ideals. He doesn’t particularly like the limelight as he has Moon in Scorpio and this would have been a huge decision for him to have undertaken.
Six out of the ten main planets are in Gemini and Sagittarius, the signs that rule learning, communication, technology, the law, justice and bringing things out into the open. His Sun Mars conjunction is opposite Neptune indicating he is an idealist. And with no earth in the chart at all, he doesn’t feel limited by practical considerations, he is more motivated by his ideals and his beliefs.
As his Saturn return was happening in the fall of 2012, this is probably the breaking point at which he decided he couldn’t live with himself any longer by withholding this important information. This is probably when he decided that the truth had to come out.
Other significant aspects are that Edward’s Mars and Mercury in Gemini are in between the USA’s Uranus and Mars in Gemini, making him the perfect person to expose something radical, especially in the way that the US uses information.
Transiting Jupiter in Gemini has magnified these events. These actions against our personal liberty are not new, but what is different is that it now mainstream. People actually know about it on a much larger scale than ever before.
May 25th Eclipse in Sagittarius is quite significant. In Edward’s chart it opposed his Mercury i.e. freedom of speech and he is quoted to have said: I don’t want to live in a world where everything I do is being recorded. Right now transiting Neptune is square to Edward’s Jupiter and Uranus which is potentially dangerous and could indicate self-sacrifice.
President Obama’s chart was also deeply impacted by May 25th Eclipse. It occurred opposite his Moon and the Moon in a President’s chart denotes the mood of the people. Right now, his Moon is square to transiting Neptune. This indicates, delusions, betrayals, lies, dishonesty. It could well be Obama’s final undoing. With Saturn currently in Scorpio soon to conjunct his natal Neptune in Scorpio in the 9th house of law, everything will come out and he will not be able to hide the truth. All along he has been insisting on the government’s transparency, but it will be shown that the government was underhand that Obama has lied about it.
There is so much more to come out. As we near the June 21st summer solstice, expect more leaks, more deceptions, more cover-ups. Try to see the situation clearly in your own life. Where are you deceiving yourself? Who is pulling the wool over your eyes? What are you unwilling to look at? Try to force yourself to look at everything, even the unpleasant things. The more we are willing to examine what’s going on in our own lives, the better chance we have of creating a world which is more open and reaches a higher level of consciousness and awareness.

Up to the minute news about Money and Finance - FAQ's
Is my money safe in a bank?
With the recent Bail-in of large depositors funds in Cyprus, and the FDIC and Bank of England ratifying this for the US and the UK, you can be sure that this is just the beginning. If you have any money in a bank anywhere in the world, it could be taken from you. Don’t for one minute think that it’s confined to Cyprus because it isn’t. What it means is that your savings could be stolen by the bank or financial institution if it gets into financial problems. Because it seems so ridiculous after decades of banks paying us at times quite high interest rates on our savings, it’s a difficult adjustment to make initially to having virtually no interest over the last few years, to the banks swiping all our money and even legalising it! With the square between Uranus and Pluto ongoing for several more years, you can expect those in power to keep trying to steal what we have. We need to take responsibility for our finances and not depend on governments to take care of us.
For those that wake up to this, and who are not listening to the media who would have us believe that everything is going so well, there is still time to get your money out of the system and not to be a sitting duck for the banks to annihilate you. What should you do? Have at least six months cash to cover your expenses outside a bank. If you have to put it under your mattress or in a safe somewhere, then do it. Just make sure you don’t put it in a bank’s safety deposit box because in most countries you will find that the law is on the side of the bank, and if there is an emergency, they have the right to open your safety deposit box and to take whatever is in there. At best, they could freeze those assets and you may have to wait a very long time to get them back, if ever.
Are Credit Unions safer than banks?
Credit unions have specific structural differences from banks including depositors as voting members. As long as the credit union doesn’t need bailing out, then you should be safe. However, if there is a systemic failure and the whole banking system collapses, then it would be a miracle to keep the credit unions from going down too and using bail-ins with depositors funds.
Should I take out debt as interest rates are so low?
If you take out a mortgage, you need to be sure that you have at least six months payments outside of the banking system. If you can do that, and you feel pretty sure that your income will be able to finance that debt for many years to come, then it could be worth doing. But I would be very careful nonetheless and I would not take out a huge loan that could end up being a burden for you, especially if interest rates start to rise again. Remember too, that real estate is not a very liquid asset and you may not be able to sell it quickly if you do run into financial difficulties. It’s best to live according to your means and to have money set aside for lean times just in case.
Should I buy real estate? If you don’t have to take out a huge mortgage and if you are able to buy a property or some land for cash, then this is a good option that’s worth considering. The advantage with real estate is that it is a tangible asset and eventually it will go up in price. However, you may have to ride out some extreme volatility before you see a good return on your investment. If you are willing to hold on for 10 years, you should do very well.
Why are gold and silver at such a low price right now?
They are being manipulated heavily by the paper gold market which does not give a true indication of the real gold price. Eventually, the physical gold market will free itself from the paper gold market and at that point the price of gold will skyrocket. The more that people insist on taking delivery of their gold, the more quickly this will happen. How long this will take is unclear but I doubt it will go beyond 2016. If you are holding physical bullion, try not to be emotionally swayed by the volatility in the market and hold onto it, as it will be worth a great deal of money in the years to come. With Neptune in Pisces and all the water in the heavens for the next few years, there will be a great deal of fraud, betrayals and dishonesty. You may not be seeing things clearly, so don't be tempted just to go along with the flow. You may have to make changes every few months or even weeks as our world goes into greater volatility.
Do I need to be afraid of buying fake gold or silver?
There are some fake coins coming on to the market, especially silver ones from China. However, there are machines that are relatively inexpensive (less than USD$200.00) that you can buy that will tell you if the gold you have purchased is fake. Gold fake coins are far less prevalent and as long as you have bought your bullion from a reputable dealer or directly from the mint, you should be fine.
Where do I store my precious metals?
This is a question that I am asked all the time and it is not an easy question to answer. Here are my suggestions: Choose a storage place and put a small amount of gold in it and then try to take some of it out. If it’s not easy to get your gold out, then that is a definite warning sign.
Make sure you have allocated storage. i.e. gold bars or coins that belong to you specifically and not lumped together with all the assets of the depository.
Ask about the storage insurance policy of the depository you are considering. Does it insure you against the storage company, any employee, any consultant or associate stealing the gold via any method including accounting fraud. The next question is what member of the big four accounting firms reviews the accountant’s statement and signs off on it as accurate and audited as compliant with International GAPP (International General Accepted Accounting as compared to US or Canadian GAPP Procedures).
Don’t be complacent. No matter how reputable the depository is, keep trying to take out a small amount of bullion from time to time just to keep on top of the situation.
Try to store your gold in one or two or even three different depositories in different places or even in different countries.
You could also store some gold in your home, but that should not be a large amount, or no more than you are willing to let go of should someone threaten you with a gun.
What about internet bullion sites such as GoldMoney.com and BullionVault.com?
For many people these are very convenient and easy to use as you can trade 24/7 and you can take delivery of your metals if you so choose. However, once again, keep in mind that very few people take their gold out, so it is an unknown as to whether these companies actually own all the gold that they have in storage. The regulation of these internet sites is not as stringent as a depository, and they are deeply intertwined with the banking system. So if there is a freeze or shutdown of banks, then you may find that you cannot sell your gold nor can you access it. I would not recommend putting all your money into one of these sites. You might invest a small amount for flexibility, but not most of it due to your higher risk exposure.
What about confiscation? Is it likely to happen?
It’s very unlikely that governments will confiscate precious metals. This is because the situation is so different now than what it was back in April 1933. At that time, the financial system was linked to a gold standard and when Roosevelt wanted to do QE, he had to control the gold market and he needed the gold. He couldn’t create money without the gold backing him up. So the gold confiscation at that time was a QE tool. Today, governments don’t need to have the gold in order to do QE, as you can see. So it’s much more likely that there will be some sort of tax on your gains, maybe a Windfall Gains Tax. This is more the kind of thing that I am anticipating. With Pluto in Capricorn, governments will be trying to claw back as much money as they possibly can from the people, so we are going to have to become smarter than they are and work together to help one another.
How and when will all this turmoil in our financial world resolve?
Ultimately the debts and liabilities of various countries will have to be cancelled as there are not enough assets to pay off those debts. This will result eventually in a total restructuring of the system which I anticipate will not be done before Pluto goes out of Capricorn in 2023. It's quite likely that gold will be a part of a blend of currencies in the new system. Bank closures, Bail-Ins, manipulation of markets and of statistics, increased volatility, are all to be expected. I would imagine that we are in for very difficult and uncomfortable times for the next several years with a reset of the system happening before or around 2023. As long as you have protected yourself as best as you can and you haven’t panicked and sold your physical metals you will do very well.
With the recent Bail-in of large depositors funds in Cyprus, and the FDIC and Bank of England ratifying this for the US and the UK, you can be sure that this is just the beginning. If you have any money in a bank anywhere in the world, it could be taken from you. Don’t for one minute think that it’s confined to Cyprus because it isn’t. What it means is that your savings could be stolen by the bank or financial institution if it gets into financial problems.

With the square between Uranus and Pluto ongoing for several more years, you can expect those in power to keep trying to steal what we have. We need to take responsibility for our finances and not depend on governments to take care of us.

Should I take out debt as interest rates are so low?
If you take out a mortgage, you need to be sure that you have at least six months payments outside of the banking system. If you can do that, and you feel pretty sure that your income will be able to finance that debt for many years to come, then it could be worth doing. But I would be very careful nonetheless and I would not take out a huge loan that could end up being a burden for you, especially if interest rates start to rise again. Remember too, that real estate is not a very liquid asset and you may not be able to sell it quickly if you do run into financial difficulties. It’s best to live according to your means and to have money set aside for lean times just in case.
Should I buy real estate? If you don’t have to take out a huge mortgage and if you are able to buy a property or some land for cash, then this is a good option that’s worth considering. The advantage with real estate is that it is a tangible asset and eventually it will go up in price. However, you may have to ride out some extreme volatility before you see a good return on your investment. If you are willing to hold on for 10 years, you should do very well.
Why are gold and silver at such a low price right now?
They are being manipulated heavily by the paper gold market which does not give a true indication of the real gold price. Eventually, the physical gold market will free itself from the paper gold market and at that point the price of gold will skyrocket. The more that people insist on taking delivery of their gold, the more quickly this will happen. How long this will take is unclear but I doubt it will go beyond 2016. If you are holding physical bullion, try not to be emotionally swayed by the volatility in the market and hold onto it, as it will be worth a great deal of money in the years to come. With Neptune in Pisces and all the water in the heavens for the next few years, there will be a great deal of fraud, betrayals and dishonesty. You may not be seeing things clearly, so don't be tempted just to go along with the flow. You may have to make changes every few months or even weeks as our world goes into greater volatility.
Do I need to be afraid of buying fake gold or silver?
There are some fake coins coming on to the market, especially silver ones from China. However, there are machines that are relatively inexpensive (less than USD$200.00) that you can buy that will tell you if the gold you have purchased is fake. Gold fake coins are far less prevalent and as long as you have bought your bullion from a reputable dealer or directly from the mint, you should be fine.
Where do I store my precious metals?
This is a question that I am asked all the time and it is not an easy question to answer. Here are my suggestions: Choose a storage place and put a small amount of gold in it and then try to take some of it out. If it’s not easy to get your gold out, then that is a definite warning sign.
Make sure you have allocated storage. i.e. gold bars or coins that belong to you specifically and not lumped together with all the assets of the depository.
Ask about the storage insurance policy of the depository you are considering. Does it insure you against the storage company, any employee, any consultant or associate stealing the gold via any method including accounting fraud. The next question is what member of the big four accounting firms reviews the accountant’s statement and signs off on it as accurate and audited as compliant with International GAPP (International General Accepted Accounting as compared to US or Canadian GAPP Procedures).
Don’t be complacent. No matter how reputable the depository is, keep trying to take out a small amount of bullion from time to time just to keep on top of the situation.
Try to store your gold in one or two or even three different depositories in different places or even in different countries.
You could also store some gold in your home, but that should not be a large amount, or no more than you are willing to let go of should someone threaten you with a gun.
What about internet bullion sites such as GoldMoney.com and BullionVault.com?
For many people these are very convenient and easy to use as you can trade 24/7 and you can take delivery of your metals if you so choose. However, once again, keep in mind that very few people take their gold out, so it is an unknown as to whether these companies actually own all the gold that they have in storage. The regulation of these internet sites is not as stringent as a depository, and they are deeply intertwined with the banking system. So if there is a freeze or shutdown of banks, then you may find that you cannot sell your gold nor can you access it. I would not recommend putting all your money into one of these sites. You might invest a small amount for flexibility, but not most of it due to your higher risk exposure.
What about confiscation? Is it likely to happen?
It’s very unlikely that governments will confiscate precious metals. This is because the situation is so different now than what it was back in April 1933. At that time, the financial system was linked to a gold standard and when Roosevelt wanted to do QE, he had to control the gold market and he needed the gold. He couldn’t create money without the gold backing him up. So the gold confiscation at that time was a QE tool. Today, governments don’t need to have the gold in order to do QE, as you can see. So it’s much more likely that there will be some sort of tax on your gains, maybe a Windfall Gains Tax. This is more the kind of thing that I am anticipating. With Pluto in Capricorn, governments will be trying to claw back as much money as they possibly can from the people, so we are going to have to become smarter than they are and work together to help one another.
How and when will all this turmoil in our financial world resolve?
Ultimately the debts and liabilities of various countries will have to be cancelled as there are not enough assets to pay off those debts. This will result eventually in a total restructuring of the system which I anticipate will not be done before Pluto goes out of Capricorn in 2023. It's quite likely that gold will be a part of a blend of currencies in the new system. Bank closures, Bail-Ins, manipulation of markets and of statistics, increased volatility, are all to be expected. I would imagine that we are in for very difficult and uncomfortable times for the next several years with a reset of the system happening before or around 2023. As long as you have protected yourself as best as you can and you haven’t panicked and sold your physical metals you will do very well.

Great EU Bank Robbery - is your bank going to steal your money?
Great EU Bank Robbery – is your bank going to steal your money?
Not only are the banks giving most of us a paltry 0.25% - 1% interest on our savings if we’re lucky, they now seem to think it’s their divine right to steal our money in order to protect themselves from going under due to their greed and terrible financial decisions. How incredible is that? This is a wake-up call!
Cyprus is proposing to penalise its savers with a one-off levy on their bank deposits because it wants to save its failing economy and banks.
Seventeen Eurozone finance ministers locked themselves in a room and decided that every Cypriot saver – whether super-rich or dirt-poor – will, without any warning, see part of their hard-earned money confiscated. Yet only a few weeks ago, the Cypriot President Nicos Anastasiades explicitly promised in his election campaign, that savers would be protected. What’s even worse is that deposits under €100,000 are supposed to be protected by EU law, not raided by EU leaders.
Here’s what they want to do:
• Savers with under 100,000 euros deposited must pay 6.75%
• Those with more than 100,000 in their accounts must pay 9.9%
Innocent people are being condemned for the greed and mistakes of their banks. They trusted their banks to take care of their savings and without warning, the bank steals from 6.75% to 10% of people’s wealth overnight.
Cyprus is a tiny country and may not have as much power as one of the bigger EU countries, but what if this happens in Spain or Italy as it could?? Can you imagine the uproar and the civil unrest?
And they say that the levy is a one-off measure – but of course the government could change their minds about that next month.
Many elderly Britons had transferred savings to Cyprus when they decided to retire there. Someone said “no one can understand how they can do this – isn’t it illegal? How can they just dock money from your account?”
What are the next steps? The Cypriot parliament is voting on this deal today which is conveniently a Bank Holiday in Cyprus. The president is encouraging parliament to accept the bailout deal or face a complete collapse of the economy with a possible exit from the euro. It looks as though this will be a very close call.
It's daylight robbery!! It was announced at the weekend when most banks are closed, and people were desperately queuing at ATM's to try to get some money of their money out. No one could have prepared for this....so I am advising you ALL wherever you live to beware of the banks. All banks are interconnected and your money is not necessarily safe in a bank. Make sure you have enough cash out of the bank. And invest the rest in gold and silver. Right now, the prices are quite low and in the future, because of the uncertainty in the world economy, the value of your bullion will increase greatly. But don’t buy it for that reason. Buy it because it gives you insurance: something that is outside of the control of governments. Don’t buy shares in gold and silver, but buy the actual coins and bars that you can hold in your hand. Don’t let anyone else take care of your bullion, keep it yourself.
The positive outcome that could come from this is that we can start to work together outside of the system. By using barter and exchange we can swap products and services within our communities without having to be penalised by our tax systems. The taxation regimes of failing states and governments are going to get more and more invasive and controlling as time goes on. Let’s not allow the banks rip us off and let's try to prepare for the coming changes.
The biggest question is the possible precedent this sets. What if other depositors in other larger, and more influential European countries start to withdraw their funds from the banks? EU leaders keep saying that this depositor tax will not be repeated in other countries, but of course they could change their minds about that overnight. What this means is that your money is not necessarily safe in any country in the world. All the banks are connected in one way or another, so don’t think that you can relax just because your country isn’t involved in this latest robbery. In the US, for example, don’t be lulled into thinking that the FDIC will continue to pay out if the bank you have your savings in fails.
There is a possibility that this draconian action in Cyprus may not go ahead. However, the fact that it got so far and that authorities think that they have the right to steal from us should be a red flag and a wake-up call. Just because Cyprus is a small country, they may get away with it this time. Please don’t think that because stock markets have been booming all over the world in the last few months that the global financial crisis is over, it’s merely been delayed. There is still time to make protect yourself if you act swiftly and get your money out of the system.

Saturn in Scorpio: Global and Personal Predictions, 2012-2015 by Barbara Goldsmith
On October 5th 2012, Saturn moves out of Libra and into Scorpio, where it will stay for the best part of the next three years until September 18th 2015. It has a brief period in Sagittarius for the first six months of 2015 before returning to Scorpio from June 16th until September 18th 2015.
What does Scorpio rule? It rules sex, death, the elderly, rebirth, debts, losses, taxes, investments, legacies, inheritances, stocks, bonds, joint finances, the police, security, surgeries, secrets, obsessions, psychotherapy and that which is unseen and hidden.
How will it affect us globally and on a personal level? This article covers some of the issues that I predict will be triggered around the world and I also give you the summaries for each Sun sign and how you can make best use of its energies. During Saturn’s transit of Libra we saw issues concerning the people, justice and fairness. There were uprisings in Egypt, Syria, Tunisia, Libya, Greece…governments were overthrown and there were revisions to employment laws.
During Saturn in Scorpio, we’ll see a huge focus on taxes: how much to pay, who should pay it, what is fair and what is not. Governments will want to change the tax structures completely in the name of fairness but there are likely to be hidden agendas. Saturn in Scorpio tends to favour a conservative position, so it’s likely there will be more cuts to public services.
Scorpio rules sex so you can expect to see issues coming up around sex and sexuality. There will be more sex offenders out on the streets committing obscene acts, and because of the reduction of police numbers due to drastic cost cutting measures, there will not be enough supervision and follow up. We will have to find ways of protecting ourselves by looking after one another in smaller groups and in our communities. We will have to take much more responsibility for our lives and not rely on the government looking after us in the way many of us have grown accustomed. We’ll see changes in the laws for pornography and prostitution, more sex scandals and gender issues.
Scorpio rules the sexual organs, so there will be issues around fertility, cloning, creating life from the unseen and more “designer babies.”
Saturn in Scorpio may put corrupt people in a position of authority and as Saturn is in mutual reception with Pluto, which means that Saturn is in Pluto’s sign and Pluto is in Saturn’s sign, you can expect to see issues around the police force and how law and order is maintained. With the numbers of police being drastically cut back it will be once again up to us to police them before they police us.
There will be lots of desperate people out there who will look for short cuts in order to survive. When people have lost everything they take desperate measures because they feel they have nothing to lose. They will justify stealing and looting other peoples’ property. You can expect taxes to increase as governments desperately try to repay their escalating debts. Uranus rules the internet and Capricorn rules government and we’ll see governments trying to regulate and impose taxes and limit our freedoms on the internet.
During this transit it is likely that the global debt situation will escalate and grow exponentially. Banks and financial institutions will continue to have problems and the abuse of other peoples’ money will come to light. There will be a demand for accountability. There will be more fraud than ever before: extensive money laundering, insurance fraud, bank fraud, government fraud. There will be many fraud cases connected with insurance companies, bankruptcies and the inability to pay out in case of disaster. Premiums will continue to rise, there will be new schemes and the fall of some big names in the industry as well as some mergers. On a personal level, try to pay off any debts you have as soon as you possibly can and try not to run up big credit card bills that you are unable to pay off on a monthly basis. With the overlay of Pluto square to Uranus during this transit, we will see extremes in everything around us. There will be those who accumulate great wealth and those who lose everything. Financial tensions worldwide will deepen with the greater manipulation of the markets, debts ballooning out of control and QE to infinity confirmed.
We’ll see a flare up of anti-immigration sentiment as illegal refugees fleeing war-torn and impoverished nations flood into Europe seeking jobs and security. With many European economies already severely depressed with scarce employment opportunities, the asylum seekers will be blamed for increases in crime and drugs and for the social services, health and welfare systems that are already beyond bursting point.
It will become much more difficult to protect your privacy and you can expect new laws in this area to be introduced. There will be more invasive measures and it will be harder to protect your identity. Think very carefully before you give any personal information to anyone as it could have very serious consequences down the line.
Death and dying come under Scorpio’s domain and we will see changes in the laws concerning death: euthanasia, abortion, the abolishment or changes to the death penalty, care of the elderly, new anti-aging studies and products.
Scorpio rules psychotherapy, mental power, the ability to think deeply and to understand the mysteries of the world. This whole field will receive greater validation during Saturn’s transit in Scorpio and you will see many new ideas emerging in the form of books, seminars, workshops, trainings: how to create what you want in your life using your mind power.
Saturn’s effect on the Sun signs: Aries
It’s vital that you get your finances in order, pay off any debts if you have them and don’t run up credit card debt that you cannot afford to pay off at the end of the month. You may have issues to deal with around insurance, your banking habits, how you use money and how you see money and what you value in life may start to change. You may question your deepest beliefs especially if you feel you are not living a happy and fulfilling life. What do you need to change in order to feel passionate and motivated? How can you bring out your passions? Many of you don’t know what you are passionate about and you will need to do a great deal of delving. If you are aware of your passion(s), are you living them? Try to be fearless in making the changes that this Saturn transit will call from deep within you. You’ll be seeking greater intimacy in your relationships and you will need to be very careful about any joint ventures you get involved with. Make sure it is with a person or people you know you can trust.
Taurus
This transit of Saturn will shine a light on all of your relationships. How do you connect with other people? Do you feel valued in your relationships or do you feel taken for granted? What changes need to be made? You may find that some relationships will come to an end during this period and it is essential that you take with you the lessons you have learned from these relationships otherwise you will be in danger of repeating them. You will have an opportunity during this time to look at what is important to you on an emotional level and ensure that you get what you need in your relationships. It is vital that you don’t stay in a toxic relationship just out of fear that you will have to be alone. You may get involved with someone older than you or someone who is quite controlling. Make sure you take your time before committing to a new relationship. However, if you have been in a solid relationship for some time, this transit can bring marriage.
Gemini
This Saturn transit puts the focus on your health and your daily habits. You will have the opportunity to put into place better structures for keeping yourself fit and well. If you have not been listening to your body and if you have been eating lots of junk food on a regular basis, now is the time to correct that or you may find that there will be more serious consequences for your health down the line. If you have been meaning to join the gym, to go running, to walk each day, now is the time to do it. If you have been experiencing health challenges, this transit is likely to bring you excellent health professionals who will be able to help you resolve the issues you have been facing. There could also be changes in the workplace. You may lose your job but find that it is a blessing in disguise as it gives you the opportunity to start your own business. You’ll probably need to make some changes to your routines and to ensure that whatever you are doing you become more conscious of your behaviour so that you are not doing things on automatic pilot but really considering whether they support you or not. It’s a good time to declutter your life – your belongings, your body (flush out toxins), get rid of anything that is extraneous.
Cancer
It’s a wonderful time to start your own business during this transit. You will need to do the necessary research and ground work and you will also need to be patient, but if you are ready to put in the hard work required, then success can be yours. It’s especially important that you find what you are really passionate about and then make it into a business. It’s a good time for working on your creativity and for bringing dreams into reality. Don’t be afraid to take risks and to jump into the unknown. You have a tendency to play it safe and to want everything in neat little boxes but this impedes your spontaneity and creativity. You could take on more responsibilities either with your own children or with young people in general. You may find yourself getting into a serious relationship, just make sure it’s what you really want and that there is an equal balance of give and take.
Leo
This transit will focus your energies around your home and family. You may be looking for a new home as there is a likelihood of a move of location, especially for work. If you don’t move, you may find yourself doing renovations and renewing the place you are in. You may take on a mortgage or a long-term commitment. Make sure you have done all the calculations and you have prepared for any worst case scenarios. It is not advisable to take out hefty loans during this transit. There may be issues that come up in relation to your family that will have to be dealt with. Now is the time to face any unpleasantness and deal with it head on rather than avoiding it or hoping it may go away altogether. Do not make any promises you cannot keep and don’t overcommit yourself and take on too many responsibilities connected with your home and family. Your patience may be tested by someone older than you. People from your past may come back into your life in order for you to learn some powerful lessons.
Virgo
During this transit it is a great time to begin writing a book or to complete a book you have already started. Keep a journal as you will find that you have many inspired things to write about. It’s a great time to go back to school and to undertake a long-term training for a new career. Anything connected with learning and furthering your education is under favourable aspect. Going on short workshops, seminars and trainings could be also be very valuable to you. You may find yourself teaching others in an area in which you are already an expert. It’s a good time for business communications and especially anything connected with computers, the internet, marketing, advertising, and general promotion. You will have lessons to learn about the way in which you communicate. There could be issues arising with your siblings if you have any and you may end up taking on more responsibility for a sibling. This could also be a friend who feels like a brother or sister to you. You may get involved with helping your community or neighbourhood in a tangible and positive way.
Libra
Saturn finally moves out of your sign on 5th October 2012 and you will breathe a huge sigh of relief as things become much lighter for you. However, don’t allow yourself to relax completely as Saturn now moves into your second house of your values and your money. Having the money to do and have what you want will be how Saturn affects you. How you spend money and how you save money will come under sharp focus. You may need to make some significant changes during this period. The good thing about this cycle is that as long as you are willing to work, the money to meet your needs will be there for you. It doesn’t mean that you won’t be worried about money occasionally, but it is important that you keep your faith through any testing experiences you may undergo. If you are in a job that is not fulfilling for you it may come to an end and you will have the opportunity to find something that gives you more satisfaction and fulfillment.
Scorpio
Saturn will be in your sign for the next two and a half years giving you the opportunity to reinvent yourself completely. You may have already experienced several losses in your life and are feeling as though you are starting from scratch. You may change jobs, you may embark on a totally new career, old relationships drop away and you begin to make changes in your life that reorient you to a more authentic expression of you. It’s vital that you take complete responsibility for your own happiness. Look at the areas in your life where you have been unwilling to change and these are precisely the areas that will be affected by this transit. Try to be kind and gentle with yourself and see this transit as giving you the opportunity to get rid of the things in your life that have not been making you happy to make way for new things and people that will fulfill you and bring you greater joy.
Sagittarius
This transit will trigger a period of soul searching, of going within and finding out what really makes you tick. Anything that involves working with the mind, psychology, the subconscious, esoteric studies and the occult could be of great value to you at this time. Listen to your dreams and to your intuition more than you ever have before as they have messages that can help you move your life onto the next level. Remember than in another two and a half years’ time, Saturn will move into your sign, so you are in a preparation period for great changes to come. The more you can open up your psychic and intuitive abilities the easier this period will be for you. Think carefully about what your goals are for the next few years: what do you want to accomplish in your work, your career, your finances, your family and friends, your relationships in general, your life purpose. In other words, everything that is important to you will come into question and you will have the opportunity to change those things that are no longer working for you. It can be a painful process but it is much easier if you allow yourself to release the things that need to go and open up to receive new and different opportunities and challenges.
Capricorn
Your friendships will go through many changes during this period. It’s quite possible that a long friendship will come to an end. You may find that you don’t have as many common interests with your friends as you used to or you may just have too many other responsibilities and commitments to put enough energy into those relationships any more. Decide which ones, if any, hold long term potential and be prepared to discard the rest if necessary. It will be a time of reassessment of the kinds of people you want in your life, so don’t be afraid to be on your own for some time as the adjustments take place. You may join new groups or organisations that reflect new interests you may have. As a Capricorn, be careful about taking on too much responsibility within an organisation and don’t spread yourself too thin. Be clear about what you want to get out of joining or volunteering in an organisation. New friendships that come into your life at this time will demand more work than you might be used to giving. Think carefully about your dreams and wishes as the saying goes: “be careful what you wish for as you may really get it!” This transit is one in which your dreams can become reality.
Aquarius
This Saturn transit will affect your work, your career and your life path. Do you like the work you are doing? Would you like to change jobs or change the direction of your career. If you have been working very hard in your job or business for the last few years, then this will be a time of reaping the rewards of your hard work. You may achieve not only financial success but outward recognition of your achievements. If you have not been focused on a particular job or business then this is the time to start planting seeds for a new and more fulfilling career. It’s important that you keep up with the latest education, information and trends in your industry. You need to make sure that you don’t take on too many responsibilities and that you are able to do what you say you will otherwise there could be negative repercussions. This is a time to set new and meaningful goals in your life. Make sure that you are able to keep a happy balance between your work and your home life. There is a tendency at this time to be too focused on one or the other. Try to become aware when they are getting out of balance and make the necessary adjustments.
Pisces
During this transit of Saturn it is a good time to think about going back to school and start a new course of study, or you may consider furthering your education in an existing field. It’s a good time to learn a new language and to explore other cultures and countries to expand your horizons. If you would like to get a book published, now is the time to work on it as you can achieve great success during this transit. As Saturn travels through Scorpio your faith and your beliefs will be challenged. What do you believe in and why? Discover what makes you feel good and find empowering beliefs to support that. Travel will be a focus at this time and you may find yourself travelling for work or going on a long distance trip to a place you have never been to before. Try to open yourself up to new possibilities and take more risks. You may have to deal with legal issues and something that has been going on for a long time can be completed under this transit.

You may find that some relationships will come to an end during this period and it is essential that you take with you the lessons you have learned from these relationships otherwise you will be in danger of repeating them. You will have an opportunity during this time to look at what is important to you on an emotional level and ensure that you get what you need in your relationships. It is vital that you don’t stay in a toxic relationship just out of fear that you will have to be alone. You may get involved with someone older than you or someone who is quite controlling. Make sure you take your time before committing to a new relationship. However, if you have been in a solid relationship for some time, this transit can bring marriage.
Gemini
This Saturn transit puts the focus on your health and your daily habits. You will have the opportunity to put into place better structures for keeping yourself fit and well. If you have not been listening to your body and if you have been eating lots of junk food on a regular basis, now is the time to correct that or you may find that there will be more serious consequences for your health down the line. If you have been meaning to join the gym, to go running, to walk each day, now is the time to do it. If you have been experiencing health challenges, this transit is likely to bring you excellent health professionals who will be able to help you resolve the issues you have been facing. There could also be changes in the workplace. You may lose your job but find that it is a blessing in disguise as it gives you the opportunity to start your own business. You’ll probably need to make some changes to your routines and to ensure that whatever you are doing you become more conscious of your behaviour so that you are not doing things on automatic pilot but really considering whether they support you or not. It’s a good time to declutter your life – your belongings, your body (flush out toxins), get rid of anything that is extraneous.
Cancer
It’s a wonderful time to start your own business during this transit. You will need to do the necessary research and ground work and you will also need to be patient, but if you are ready to put in the hard work required, then success can be yours. It’s especially important that you find what you are really passionate about and then make it into a business. It’s a good time for working on your creativity and for bringing dreams into reality. Don’t be afraid to take risks and to jump into the unknown. You have a tendency to play it safe and to want everything in neat little boxes but this impedes your spontaneity and creativity. You could take on more responsibilities either with your own children or with young people in general. You may find yourself getting into a serious relationship, just make sure it’s what you really want and that there is an equal balance of give and take.
Leo
This transit will focus your energies around your home and family. You may be looking for a new home as there is a likelihood of a move of location, especially for work. If you don’t move, you may find yourself doing renovations and renewing the place you are in. You may take on a mortgage or a long-term commitment. Make sure you have done all the calculations and you have prepared for any worst case scenarios. It is not advisable to take out hefty loans during this transit. There may be issues that come up in relation to your family that will have to be dealt with. Now is the time to face any unpleasantness and deal with it head on rather than avoiding it or hoping it may go away altogether. Do not make any promises you cannot keep and don’t overcommit yourself and take on too many responsibilities connected with your home and family. Your patience may be tested by someone older than you. People from your past may come back into your life in order for you to learn some powerful lessons.
Virgo
During this transit it is a great time to begin writing a book or to complete a book you have already started. Keep a journal as you will find that you have many inspired things to write about. It’s a great time to go back to school and to undertake a long-term training for a new career. Anything connected with learning and furthering your education is under favourable aspect. Going on short workshops, seminars and trainings could be also be very valuable to you. You may find yourself teaching others in an area in which you are already an expert. It’s a good time for business communications and especially anything connected with computers, the internet, marketing, advertising, and general promotion. You will have lessons to learn about the way in which you communicate. There could be issues arising with your siblings if you have any and you may end up taking on more responsibility for a sibling. This could also be a friend who feels like a brother or sister to you. You may get involved with helping your community or neighbourhood in a tangible and positive way.
Libra
Saturn finally moves out of your sign on 5th October 2012 and you will breathe a huge sigh of relief as things become much lighter for you. However, don’t allow yourself to relax completely as Saturn now moves into your second house of your values and your money. Having the money to do and have what you want will be how Saturn affects you. How you spend money and how you save money will come under sharp focus. You may need to make some significant changes during this period. The good thing about this cycle is that as long as you are willing to work, the money to meet your needs will be there for you. It doesn’t mean that you won’t be worried about money occasionally, but it is important that you keep your faith through any testing experiences you may undergo. If you are in a job that is not fulfilling for you it may come to an end and you will have the opportunity to find something that gives you more satisfaction and fulfillment.
Scorpio
Saturn will be in your sign for the next two and a half years giving you the opportunity to reinvent yourself completely. You may have already experienced several losses in your life and are feeling as though you are starting from scratch. You may change jobs, you may embark on a totally new career, old relationships drop away and you begin to make changes in your life that reorient you to a more authentic expression of you. It’s vital that you take complete responsibility for your own happiness. Look at the areas in your life where you have been unwilling to change and these are precisely the areas that will be affected by this transit. Try to be kind and gentle with yourself and see this transit as giving you the opportunity to get rid of the things in your life that have not been making you happy to make way for new things and people that will fulfill you and bring you greater joy.
Sagittarius
This transit will trigger a period of soul searching, of going within and finding out what really makes you tick. Anything that involves working with the mind, psychology, the subconscious, esoteric studies and the occult could be of great value to you at this time. Listen to your dreams and to your intuition more than you ever have before as they have messages that can help you move your life onto the next level. Remember than in another two and a half years’ time, Saturn will move into your sign, so you are in a preparation period for great changes to come. The more you can open up your psychic and intuitive abilities the easier this period will be for you. Think carefully about what your goals are for the next few years: what do you want to accomplish in your work, your career, your finances, your family and friends, your relationships in general, your life purpose. In other words, everything that is important to you will come into question and you will have the opportunity to change those things that are no longer working for you. It can be a painful process but it is much easier if you allow yourself to release the things that need to go and open up to receive new and different opportunities and challenges.
Capricorn
Your friendships will go through many changes during this period. It’s quite possible that a long friendship will come to an end. You may find that you don’t have as many common interests with your friends as you used to or you may just have too many other responsibilities and commitments to put enough energy into those relationships any more. Decide which ones, if any, hold long term potential and be prepared to discard the rest if necessary. It will be a time of reassessment of the kinds of people you want in your life, so don’t be afraid to be on your own for some time as the adjustments take place. You may join new groups or organisations that reflect new interests you may have. As a Capricorn, be careful about taking on too much responsibility within an organisation and don’t spread yourself too thin. Be clear about what you want to get out of joining or volunteering in an organisation. New friendships that come into your life at this time will demand more work than you might be used to giving. Think carefully about your dreams and wishes as the saying goes: “be careful what you wish for as you may really get it!” This transit is one in which your dreams can become reality.
Aquarius
This Saturn transit will affect your work, your career and your life path. Do you like the work you are doing? Would you like to change jobs or change the direction of your career. If you have been working very hard in your job or business for the last few years, then this will be a time of reaping the rewards of your hard work. You may achieve not only financial success but outward recognition of your achievements. If you have not been focused on a particular job or business then this is the time to start planting seeds for a new and more fulfilling career. It’s important that you keep up with the latest education, information and trends in your industry. You need to make sure that you don’t take on too many responsibilities and that you are able to do what you say you will otherwise there could be negative repercussions. This is a time to set new and meaningful goals in your life. Make sure that you are able to keep a happy balance between your work and your home life. There is a tendency at this time to be too focused on one or the other. Try to become aware when they are getting out of balance and make the necessary adjustments.
Pisces
During this transit of Saturn it is a good time to think about going back to school and start a new course of study, or you may consider furthering your education in an existing field. It’s a good time to learn a new language and to explore other cultures and countries to expand your horizons. If you would like to get a book published, now is the time to work on it as you can achieve great success during this transit. As Saturn travels through Scorpio your faith and your beliefs will be challenged. What do you believe in and why? Discover what makes you feel good and find empowering beliefs to support that. Travel will be a focus at this time and you may find yourself travelling for work or going on a long distance trip to a place you have never been to before. Try to open yourself up to new possibilities and take more risks. You may have to deal with legal issues and something that has been going on for a long time can be completed under this transit.
