Forecast for Sunday, March 13, 2011

This is called the Wheel of the Year or the Zodiac Spread

Goddess, what a WEEK! First the revolution in Wisconsin, Libya and Egypt strikes and the US press does a news blackout on Wisconsin. An earthquake in China and New Zealand, Floods in Australia, the eruption in Hawaii and collapse of the crater on one side and then eclipsing it all, the Japanese earthquake and tsunami.
Having seen the unedited footage of the tsunami on Utube, I am beyond shaken and you know this old Druid is pretty jaded. When the photographer pans around, at first I thought I was seeing a cloud bank moving in until I realised I was looking at the second tsunami and it was a wall of water eating the first one. As you watch this thing come ashore taking houses, cars, trains, even the very soil in its path and smashing it to pieces and against others, it is easy to forget, there are people in those cars, houses, trains.... It was moving at 300 MPH, they had no warning. It was simply there. Any devastation the GOP and Tea Party may think themselves capable of, Mother Nature just proved she holds all the cards. I suggest we not make her any madder as the real Full Moon when she is closest to earth, the Strongest Moon of the Year, doesn't happen until the 19th. Fasten your seat belts kiddies, the ride is about to get really rough.

Today's Tarot Card is the Four of Swords. You have shored up your defences and you think you are safe to rest, but you defenses may be the very thing used against you.

Daylight Savings Time begins at 2 AM and I should manage to get used to it sometime in November.

The Moon is Void of Course from 9:10 AM to 10:29 AM EDT when she enters Cancer, a water sign, and we begin to nest, look to family and friends and generally retreat from the the world.
You are very intuitive this morning, but what you intuit may not make other happy and arguments can ensue. As Mercury squares Pluto for a couple of days, harsh words are normal and those in power are losing it in more than one way. In their desire for more power, they will accidentally with the utmost of hubris, reveal exactly what their plans are. It won't be pleasant.
Teachers get a show of support but unfortunately, no change as things continue to slide downhill in a hand basket at top speed.

Now pay close attention to the old Crone for a minute. This weeks' events have given you a viable demonstration that it doesn't matter how much power, wealth, security or protection you think you have, you can lose everything in the snap of the fingers.  The Koch brothers could have been sitting in their multimillion dollar beach house, with an army of hired thugs directing the decimation of the middle class getting the best medical care in the world and they would have been just so much meat a second later when that tsunami hit. A tornado can decimate any building. A flood will drown you. An earthquake can swallow you. A volcano, well, I don't even want to think about what one of them can do when it blows but we have no bombs that can hold a candle to that display. Shakespeare said, "Hell hath no fury as a woman spurned." Mother Earth is a woman and she likes her children to play fair. Remember that.

And lastly I would like to say this weekend has proved one thing to me: I HAVE THE GREATEST CUSTOMERS IN THE WORLD! THANK YOU EVERYONE!
