Loving Leo,…

All about Leo. The Leo, the Leo. Shine your light on me Leo. Don’t mess with me Leo. Bite my head off, Leo. Like a cat with its fur wet, Leo. A cat for all seasons really, you know how much fun they are. See, as long as the spotlight is on, you guessed it, the Leo, they’re all bells and whistles. Well until they bore of the attention that is, all seasons remember. Then when winter sets in, oh this cat is sooo bored, nothing to conquest, no love to win over, tsk tsk, where has all the excitement gone. The search for appreciation and blatant adoration, so hard to find good adorers these days. One wonders why Astrology is so estranged when archetypal “Garfield’s” are so widely to be found fitting that Leo stereotype. Some people will find those comments furiously funny really. It’s the same old Fire sign Jangle, “Notice me!,.. Look I’m a big bright light”, “oh feel my warmth and respond to my charms”. Leo is more about children though, the most loved child to be exact, the favourite light that warms the family household. So as such, the cat really comes out when there is not enough favouritism being dished out. Much of this can also be said for some Cancerians and Virgoans at times then too. With Leo, we regularly see the involvement of the Hair. The Lions mane, be it on the head or the chest. A Lions fight is about territory see, so a good strong façade is always in order. You know how that favourite child always looks so good in the family setting. Seeing as ‘odds are’ there’s no hard knocks though, often this is just like polystyrene studio shoot decorations. Looks good, sounds rather hollow on closer inspection though. So as such, have patience for a Leo near you, they are the flavourite plaything of the Zodiac and well we’re all so happy they could join us aren’t we. Play along, play along, just be sure to keep up the good face otherwise Leo’s going to bite your head off for not being a fitting sport. A tip in dealing with the violent ups and downs Leos experience would be to always reminisce over their up’s and how gloriously radiant they looked during such phases. That way you can be virtuously placed up there on the pedestal with them and can point down scathingly at those ungrateful mortals. Speaking about reminiscing, this is a good tip in dealing with any fire signs in general as opposed to the dreaminess of watery empathy. The reverie in reminiscence is what gets the warming signs heated, keeping them vital is a handy way of staying out of their wrath. Like having a light by your side perhaps, as opposed to a glare in your face. The Fire sign is easily led if you just keep feeding that ego, it’s prowess and all it can potentially accomplish. Be fully aware though, I am not responsible for any fires that get out of hand on you. For after pumping them to full-blown fury you may very well have a slave driver tyrant on your hands that now permits you to bow and curtsey timeously at their hinting. You may become their slave faster than you realize though. So, rather laughingly he suggests, just keep a decent valve available in case you need to tap the flame off somewhat. The Laurel an Hardy type cartoons of old are suggestive in this department. Where Hardy would always fuel Laurel until megalomania sets in whereby the Hardy is led to retort in a snotty manner reducing the megalomaniacal Laurel to breakdown. Slowly they build up their relationship once more only to break down again. So it is with a night time fire, constant maintenance as all is continually falling apart. But yes, in a nutshell, all watch for the cat that bounds in, steals everyone’s attention, gets bored starts a fight then skulks out vaguely agitated. As children of men, they gave a good effort, so a round of applause won’t do you any harm, it will certainly go a long way in lightening them up. Remember the good things with your Leo!

Dire Elite Nihilism,...

First things first folks,.. Happy Anniversary to our Soul Living section in the Hilltop, drastically reduced in size, in fact I’m the only one left it seems. Getting tight I tell you, I can feel it. If I might have any requests at this time, feedback I need and want it. There are plenty of you out there that we bump into in our daily traffickings who allude to their thoughtful ponderings on my musings. Quite frankly being engaged in this column for such time now with a pithy 4 or so responses, Hey!? How can that be? If I was a plumber I would have had a better response!? Or is it that I must pander more to your consumer interests which I know would have me as boring a read as if I where indeed into plumbing. So please, even if you wish to swear at me, Email is a fabulous thing and my address appears regularly below the article. Many thanks.

Many people mention my difficult language. Those who still read me will have seen how I have endeavored to tighten up a little although still try to keep to a decent level of English usage as I feel we all should. r shld w use txt speke, I mean, we are supposed to be advancing as a species or not!? Otherwise, along such lines, the content is difficult I am an Astrologer for goodness sakes. The one person in society that is supposed to speak through cryptic analogies and riddles, does not the spiritual master answere through puzzles? As far as I recall that is the case, so as such, read light if that is what you are rather after.

Now a month back we skipped a copy. Reason being, glum glum glum, Iran was in my predictions as they are now test launching missiles and photoshopping some in further. Zim was in that copy, a ship load of weapons to fire. So as such, we ditched it as it was, repeat,.. glum glum glum. This month I am back with a vengeance however, t’s my Job see, so without further adue,….

Before we go any further with the whole current African story. No, the new “Black Elite” are NOT concerned one iota with the depraved conditions their brethren experience in the townships. Why else do you think such places even still exist 14ys into the NEW South Africa? I am done with being polite about it, we have eyes and we can see for goodness sakes. We have ears and we can hear. We know Elite Black businessmen and they have told us this as FACT.
The local peoples loose out whilst the local politicians take all the hand outs for themselves and their supposed elite families. Do us a favor and let your home helpers read these words please. Something has to happen. A slow killing is happening, a parentless generation exists. A deep nihilism is present in our government that we have neer seen prior. Hence we rub our eyes over and over just to make sure we are indeed seeing accurately. How can this elite stand by as an entire generation is wiped off the board, just so that they have no political threat in the future. Again, Mbeki mediates in Zimbabwe!? We question the resolutions as if we misread the text, stop rubbing your eyes folks. Welcome to the true African Renaissance.

Something I must point out that adds to our current predicament and it has been a long time in engineering. First it was Bible that we dared not question. Slowly the schools and institutions supplanted the idea of Gods Book with a Governments Laws, so one dare not question them then neither. The last phase of this movement is where Governments Laws are supplanted by the Elites Society. From a Bible to a Law then to a Society, we have transferred this inherent respect. Don’t question!, don’t argue!, Zuma is innocent of any corrupt wrongdoings,. The befuddled Society will want it so, the law will prove it so, and of course, God would obviously thence have had it so. Think about it, if you’re allowed that is.

Other than that, wow, what a year, and please do drop me a line, I promise I won’t try to sell you anything.

Cancerian Celebration,..

Being a Solstice passing, Cancerians are often able to manage more strength in their fields than Pisceans. Pisces comes just before spring and hence their more transitional nature. Whereas Summer has that whole lot more punch to it. What’s the hardest thing about trying to organize an outdoor event in summer for instance? You guessed it, the rains and heavy waters.

Whichever side of the illusion they wish to suppose with these water signs. Like reflections off a bubble, the Crabs apparent aim is to please, yet to leave a subtle message in the process. As in the process of the mothers ovulation cycle, ‘can we take your passing tides seriously?’ But to the folk who have not a clear mother relationship in their past, they can become prey to all sorts of emotional manipulation by would be caring folk. Cancerians will make you feel like doing x y or z. Watch how often through certain simple body language, sighs, gestures and tones of voice you will get that feeling, and yes will regularly move in the direction they are obviously trying to impress upon you.

The control side of care is the back end of these Cancerian woods that we are getting on to. Those stories of folks found with 100 cats in a tiny apartment. The Cave feature often stands out in these situations. As in the gent recently exposed in Austria keeping his daughter captive for years on end, the Cave. From out of the womb, his dark enclosure. As in the laws that govern a baby bat’s behavior in a huge black cave, these are realities in the Cancerians world. The Cave is representative of the womb, it is the blind warm touchy feely aspect that needs to focused in on here in considering Cancerian nature. Hence in their ability to manipulate, as they are intricately aware of the realities of the dark arena, else you will be left here in this huge cave all alone, no one would like that now would they? So you wil certainly do as the Cancerian wishes.

In fact where does warm touch come into it when a crab is a creepy crustatian that moves sideways to go forwards anyhow? Born of an egg, cave, and well, cold blooded from the word go. Hmmm, either ‘love em or hate em’ types I guess. This mermaid will run rings around you in the midsts of your dreamings. So if you thought the Gemini hare could run circles around one, think again as in fact the siblings run around dear mumsy if you think about it like that.

Cancer in Astrology regularly points to the government and local municipalities, beyond just our mother figures and home. The T.V. license propaganda machine is well akin to this mermaid comment I mention. The whole song and dance in order to make you feel obliged, whilst they rake mega millions off the larger corporate advertisers, where does that telly liscence money fit in at all one wonders. One assumes they need your license fees!? When in fact is it more likely ones continued cowed subservience to keep one on the right channel.

On that topic, do people really believe that all is above board when it comes to governments and parents? When we all know a certain amount of manipulation is the key in both these ongoing environments. I site Eskom and their irresolvable rollout of power blackouts, threats on the telly of current usage levels. Then the threat of a +-50% increase in utility fee’s. The siblings sure are nipping themselves at the threat of it all. Then on the resolution on a +-20% increase, a-presto no more blackouts as the peer group is now cowed, although initially folks were led to believe them to be of absolute urgency. Finally everyone is relieved as the hike ain’t so steep afterall. The kids aren’t really in trouble, the parents were just flaring up a while, with a purpose in mind that is. Child psychology at it’s simplest, but we are all adults here right!? Right!

So when we talk about Cancer, we unfortunately have to include the nanny state too as reflection of Cancerians darker side. A Cancer at its best, designed to bleed off the group populus bit by bit. Oh I love you so much, all 100 of you little kittys. Love!?  Even love apparently has it’s darker side. So with that in mind do remember, that if your mum can do it, your government can too, every vulnerable kitty needs a caregiver right? Yes water is great, but what if you’re not up for feeding the masses with your crop. A lot like the underpinnings of society really, you want to perform don’t you, of course you do, or would you rather lurk around a big black cave all on your own!?

Hence the ultimate Cancerian symbol, that of oblique pressure, applied with gratuitous doses of empathy, camoflaging to look humble, giving, and really truly concerned.

Mercuries June,..

Wow,. So has this Mercury Retrograde of last two weeks spun up some issues, repairs all round. Disciplinary’s and staff arguments that have cleaned the tense air in the work place. New colleagues and changes of position, all in line with the regular 4 month Mercury cycle.

All in all the 18th June through 6th of July should be a rather tense time indeed,.. Cancerians are headed for an emotional year indeed.
I feel protection will be a lofty theme for the rest of this year. I also smell some sort of a health crisis in the next two months,. I assume it will focus around Tummy bugs and Digestion organs in the body. As such this doesn’t bode too well for areas that are already cholera infected on the African Continent.

In the home then too we see this, cleanliness will come into the foreground as a chief concern. Dare I mention these and I recall our Dr. Beetroot. Oh boy is the health sector in for a surprise shortly then too.

Very interesting times as such, I see Mr Zuma an Sir Mbeki up on the podium together battling it out with the Unions. But yes I see a great alliance between them during Mbeki’s last stretch. In saying this I should too note how this July will see Mr Zuma taking over many of Sir Mbeki’s administration roles. He could be stepping into the foreground with regard to all these reaction less patches from our leader everyone is mumbling about,..
If anything this could be the curtain call for Thabo.

I am very weary of that arms cache that was reported to have arrived and then not arrived in Harare. If you ask me, it arrived. I see the weapons loaded and firing 3rd through 6th of July. If you ask me about the middle east. In this same period I could see some proactive moves against Iran. Bring on the apocalypse,. How else is our savior supposed to arrive the brainwashed Christians say. How odd really, to assume we have to Nuke half the planet in order for Christ to return. But dare I mention anything further here for I might not be writing this column anymore. We all know who has the most clout in this neck of the woods. So yes, best we all go on treating the Arabs like the true sand kaffirs they are and forget anyone mentioned equal rights. You see how truly unequal the playing field is, wait, I will still get into trouble from the local community for this. We play victim around here see. It’s a great technique. We can be the aggressors, but if we play victim all the time, well you can’t argue there can you. If anyone can get hold of a documentary called “Jesus Camp” I really recommend such. An expose on the Right Wing Christian Movement that has helped George Bush and his pals to their current threat level.
You know, like the current 42days detention without arrest that is recently in place in the UK. Oh Orwell you are one of the greatest prophets of our time.

Anyhow,. Lets tone things down somewhat. How!? You heard of the Email that surfaced from Lew Geffens offices. The one that points to the further decrease in home values. The USA is literally reelling in this mess. Such conditions are the perfect breeding ground for Fascism, as we saw in the 1930’s. History repeats folks, I kid you not. Heheh,. And on to one of the more audacious topics this week. Under the title of “Who comes up with all this stuff”,.. How on earth is it,. That we have this prime cut A grade terrorist by the name of Osama, and then the next hero emerges by the name of Obama.
You have to be kidding me. You know one of the basic tenets to Orwells text was regarding Double speak. Hitler referred to it. When as a politician you tell a lie, tell a huge lie. That way all the regular folk will think, no way he could be lying. Then the next step from thence is the idea that if we continually whack our audience about from one opinion to the next we will actually make their brains all fuzzy and the lines blur to such extent that they stop paying attention to details,.. Obama,. I mean,. Osama, duh sorry,. Obama could be a classic example of that. Just honestly, who would have thought. As far as we have been researching,. Obama indeed has all the usual suspects in his cabal back at base. So as such folks dare we remind you, if there is a plan to afflict the world with a fascist agenda, who do you really think the next US president will be.

Of Gemini's Hares and Jones’s Graces,..

As the tortoise was personification of tauren qualities, it follows that the hare is the epitome of geminian traits. That neighbourly confidence trickster with an ever beady eye on their peers interests and routines. That bastion of social history ever trying to hoodwink his forest friends of their own natural values.

The fact is that geminians can be considered pretty insecure in that they have to constantly check in with their peers to make sure they’re still on the cool end of loop. So as such, much on the Gemini plate is about social peergroup impressions and maintaining some sort of status quo. However witty, sharp or agile they appear, at the back end, all the attention is for apparent social gains or keeping the peerage in some sort of line that they don’t feel too insecure. Now Gemini is classically the zone of siblings, peer groups, colleagues and neighbors. If there was a zodiac sign for WiFi or Bluetooth or the internet, it would most definitely fall on the socialite air sign trilogy of Gemini, Libra and Aquarius. Gemini as such would be the historic logging function, so blogs even would be Geminian in that they are historic in social format.

Lets step across to analogy to explain the Gemini situation further. Brother and sister are in the family car on a trip to a far away city for the holidays with the parents. The whole way there they are gawking out the window making fun of the other cultures they see along the way. Big brother goes overseas, now this is the opposite signs, Sagittarian type broader cultural experience, domain. He goes over and wow, the world splits wide open for him. On his return he climbs back in the family car for their yearly trip. Dare I say, brother and sister are again poking fun out the window but big brother is more silent than usual. Wow, how small minded he realizes he has been as he watches the siblings gawking and commenting as before. Dare he try to enlighten his brethren for odds are he will simply get teased back into the quiet seat. Regularly then the generalized Gemini archtype is packed full of quips that keep the neighbourly world view intact. They may branch out a little in life, but seldom will the whole picture change beyond defending the sibling notions of a small cosy home meadow. Just like a bunny, most other ideas initially feel threatening to the sibling oriented persona, such threats of course urge them keep the other forest friends in line more often than not.

The natural sibling crisis really needs to be given the respect it is due I find as I see more and more clients though my days. In nature fledglings of many species will actually kick the other out the nest if there is any opportunity or threat in the pecking order. Yes, to die! Hence simple ‘sibling rivalry’ actually very much arouses the need for all the quick thinking, the wit, the verbal agility they seem to bear. I don’t see it as too much fun really as nervous ailments of all sorts come through this peerage complex. As such, strong Geminian’s are hard to fall in love with for all the historic social concerns they seem to harbour and express during their every day. So much apparent goalpost shifting as they try to keep due course is bound to give one motion sickness in tryng to keep up. For them too, love comes hard seeing as the mob rules and ones emotions can go a begging as its down to survival of the fittest.

All of this is rather obvious amongst our kids peer groups at school where everything is relative to the shifting tides of the peerage. Gemini is said to be ‘the curse of the split mind’ they say and flocking to the symbols of ‘cool’ in order to prop up ones self worth and ego identity can jar the neck some. Slapping labels onto themselves faster than an apache on horseback. I used to quip when I was younger how most kids one see’s with the skateboard in hand for instance. They do seem to carry them around a lot don’t they, hardly ever to be seen actually riding the dang things. Well exactly that, for these are in fact symbols of their attempts at peer status, social leverage mechanisms for their flailing self worth. Indeed these kids should probably have counseling regards how to be themselves and damn that peerage. We can see how Gemini, Taurus and Aries themes are all concerns involved in the Geminian plot. This does bring up an interesting point though, ideas of pattern and character recognition. The basic underlying intelligence mechanisms that Gemini represents in the zodiac whole. Such explains how Gemini’s can be so flamboyant in their affections one day yet so uninterested the next. The true power of symbols is found in this sign, however basic or subtle, if its on you it alludes to something deeper, this is then where Cancerian depths fit in.

Having just completed a local fun run this weekend I came upon such similar hare style observations as the basic driving force between the youngsters seemed to focus around their relationship to each other in the race. The race is obviously analogous to life and the jousting for position unfortunately the feature where folks care not for themselves really but for their position relative to the others. This then shoots further to the whole as to how in a Geminian world, the truth too is rather relative. Relative to whomever is present at the time really, it can be that bad. Unfortunately then yes, the award for the cheapest and tackiest of the zodiac members would definitely level on Gemini, cursed with such vexatious mind.

Let me reiterate here perhaps as readers at times allude to my scathing manner or tone, but as such we are being frank here and in talking about the nature of neighbors. Might i mention the seriousness of Xenophobia which harbours all these basic issues I mention above. Neighbors and instantaneous symbolic character recognition, I’m in, you’re out, and yes, that immediately aroused vexation. Scorpio is 6th to Gemini which is as such the nature of Geminian bodylanguage, Scorpio being the sign of death where ‘still waters run deep’.

Regards the latent anxiety i mention with classic Geminian health concerns, Eczema on the hands, arms and face being the key token symptom thereof. From asthma to stuttering and this ADD/ADHD concern floating about nowadays smells very much like it. Little did we know how the Hare was our first archetype of the ADD personality. Notice how this ailing comes at a time when there is television everywhere with adverts streaming 24/7. Who are our children supposed to be? Certainly not themselves at this rate? No wonder they’re all skittish and difficult most of the time.

Walking naked to Church,..

Hi there folks. Hope you are all warm and well fed, Much of the world is not at the moment. Our predictions of financial crises, crop failures, earth movements and natural disasters seem all to be playing out. So much so that really we all need to be real thankful for the peace and security we are currently able to enjoy. You recall my obvious predictions regarding xenophobia. Our lazy locals finding it easier to wield a machete than go and earn an honest wage, or maybe sort their freedom fighter politicians out. You know unemployment is actually up since the ANC took power. Not to get political here, but these Southern Africans sure act like spoilt rich kids. Hmm smells like the progeny of the Nat party to me. Funny how people run so far from the past in the mean while it tails them like their shadow.
Hence we have all our neighbourly Africans looking on wondering what the heck happened to those darkies in the south. Trying to act like niggas and all. You think im being racist?. My own handyman assistant mentioned that joke to me. Actually pointed at the wannabe nigga an scoffed aloud.
Moving on, well yes, we are well into the derth sessions, so how can I serve!?
Debt,. Lets start with that. It’s weighing down your boat guys. Get rid of it. Before the price of food goes up further and u’re wondering what to spend your monies on,. Food or your payments on that spanking new wide screen telly.
And as such yes, now the gloves are coming off. Through the cracks we see pimped up 4x4’s and Neighbours running for their lives. Kinda like that rich kids teeth over there, Lotsa sweets but lotsa cavities. Someone is seriously trying to convince us that life is a western dream. Then someone else wonders why god did forsake us so. We did it all to ourselves. Like leaving earth in a space ship and wondering why ur’e all alone,.. Humans, can’t live with them, can’t live without them.
Upcoming dates to watch for then,..
First off we have that grizzly 2day patch we have been following every month, 23rd and 24th it comes this time around. I don’t assume it will be too grizzly as such, but watch for all that debris, it generally can cause damage too.
The highlight for us in this edition is the next Mercury retrograde spell coming up. 27th May thru 20th June. You remember the basics, communications of all forms can get mixed up. So travel, expect to drive there twice, meetings, expect rescheduling, parcels, go to another post office, Regular relationships, expect the truth.
What I can say in particular of this coming patch, again it may focus in on peer group trust issues. At work then it’s about your colleagues. Expect your child to again be up in arms regarding the fickleness of their peer/friend base. Expect minor emotional setbacks here and the subsequent non popular kids coming around to play as opposed to that snobbish lot your child usually sucks up to.
Folks, you think I am being cheeky. I am coming to assume that these days are mentioned in the prophecies of old. These I believe, are prophetic times we are walking into. That Comet, McNaught !! That one that came last year, I mentioned such things were coming. We seriously need to look at our lives, who are we honestly. What is the media leading us to be, consumer machines that through fear urge others to spend more too for fear of social reprisal ? That Jone’s club, no you are not in it, so unpopular you poor clout. Go buy some more clothes on credit, clean yourself up. Haha, what a cheek, umm we’re starving out here one hears a moan.
Be yourself, shop at the SPCA and get a life, time may indeed be short. Oh and last but not least, Lend a hand, be neighbourly, not afraid of the people in your community. See how easy it is for us to become fearful of each other when indeed we are all the same.
At 10bucks a litre it affects all of us no!? No no, I’m special see, I have a card.
At 500mill Zim dollar for 2 loaves of bread mate,. Your card better be full up!!!
People should walk to church naked, maybe then society will mend.
