Revolution anyone?


The Moon will enter intense Scorpio this morning at 9:46 am Central time.  Scorpio is a Water sign and can be very secretive.  The Moon is currently conjunct Saturn, which can result in restricted or withheld emotions.

Are you planning a secret rendezvous today?

Pluto in Capricorn square Uranus in Aries energy (rebellion against structure) is evident in the recent protests in Spain.  Reports are that 1.5 million people were involved in this protest for independence.  The headline in TimeWorld on September 11th was “Barcelona Warns Madrid:  Pay Up or Catalonia Leaves Spain.”

Catalonia is the wealthiest region in Spain, but is also in debt with an 8% fiscal deficit.  Catalonians requested a bailout of 5 billion euros from the central Spanish government and was turned down.  In 2009, Catalonians supplied 19.49% of the tax revenue and received 14.03% in spending.  Catalonians feel that this spending gap is responsible for their deficit.

In other parts of the world there is a fight between Japan and China over islands, which just so happens to be on the 81st anniversary of the Japanese invasion of China (September 18, 1931.)

Over 130 Mexican prisoners escaped from a jail that is near the US boarder.  The inmates managed to escape through a tunnel that was dug from a carpentry workshop at the prison.

Mitt Romney struck out against the nation’s poor, claiming that they believe they are “entitled to healthcare, to food, to housing, to you-name-it.”  Romney said at a press conference that Obama’s policies are “attractive to people who do not pay taxes.” 

In response to this, I can only say that those who pay no taxes obviously spend no money, as we are taxed every time we spend.

I will be so glad when the elections are over!
