Make Benefit

YOU'VE GOTTEN A BUNCH of monkeys off of your back and you are less bananas, but there may still be a lingering odor of all that. The grinder of the last fourteen months is finally done. There is relief, breathing room and motion after a long spell of frozenness. Celebrate! Play! Rest and recreate. And most importantly, make benefit.

During much of November, we had half the planets in Scorpio. In December, we have half of the planets (and sometimes even six) in Sagittarius for weeks at a time. This is a wholesale shift from the dank, dark sludge of the Scorpio stellium that still held the Grand Cross pattern. This cluster of Sagittarius is not in an onerous geometry. It is more free and fluid, warmer and more dynamic, excellent for making benefit, as Borat would say.

Jupiter is now in Sagittarius, which it rules, for a year. You can get on with your manifestation of what you want. I encourage you wholeheartedly to make benefit in all ways. It is a prosperous time if you are yourself and if you are intentional. Otherwise the shadow takes over and all manner of contentiousness arises. You can give yourself away in co-dependant ways that are not actually helpful to you or them. You can get trapped in belief systems that benefit the system, but not you. But it's not necessary anymore. It's time for you and for what you want. You can always give it away later, but let it manifest for you now.

There's a Full Moon on the 4th at 4:25 pm PST followed by Saturn going retrograde on the 5th at 8:07 pm PST, plus Mars entering Sagittarius at 8:50 pm PST. There's a lot of ebb and flow with all of this, rather like the water sloshing around in the bathtub. The markets may dip. The extremely wealthy are good at protecting and fostering their own wealth, but the lower tiers of society are not. The contrast has gotten to the tipping point. The greedy have been too greedy and the karma curls around on it self and sets up loss polarized to gain. The haves will get some have not for awhile. Unfortunately the have nots usually lose even more. They are getting very tired of their economic depression and oppression and are going to more actively fight. This is usually not logical and mostly is destructive, but perhaps it is time to make benefit for their selves, to get more organized and prosperous. The wealthy do fight for what they want and have had a hand in the Bush while giving the bird to the less fortunate. This is revolting and it is time for the revolt. Terror has been exacerbated and suppressed. This is explosive. Many fuses have been lit.

The main pattern is yo-yoing. Markets will go up and down in more dramatic ways, but not disastrous ways, though that dread lingers always. There's no comfort, whether it's the weather or the economy or the world; up and down, up and down. It's always this way but you'll notice more; it'll be more of a cartoon, slapschtick. Humor is essential from here on out. Making shit real is very shitty. Laugh and do what you want. Communicate with some humor and be patient with others who don't laugh at the same shit as you do. Shuck 'em if they can't take the joke. Apply all of the above to your various sub personalities, the committee in your head. Making the Dream real is very sufferful. Sagittarius offers wonderful playfulness. Humor your self.

Mercury, Mars and Jupiter are conjuncting closely together on the 9th through the 11th. This adds to the efficiency of making benefit. Remember it's not about control and getting a chunk of the pie in the sky in the win/lose Game. It's about you freely being you and you freely intending what you want and then freely choosing such. It's not because you deserve it, you worked hard for it, you have it coming, your good karma is kicking in and/or Santa loves you. It's just showing up because you want it to and the whole process is delightful without control noise or good/badisms overlaid on simple manifestation. The higher mind loves to throw meaning and such over the top of everything. You can't stop that mechanism, but you don't have to identify in it and enchant it. You are just having fun in a Dream that always comes and goes. The fun and the reality are y our own being. Giggle with all the rest.

Half of the planets are coursing through Sagittarius with dear old Pluto. Pluto brings up the shadow. You just had a year plus of all of your shadow coming up. Now as the planets move through Sagittarius and conjunct Pluto, you get to enjoy your freedom beyond those karmic patterns that cooked off. If you didn't face your shadow, no worries; you just get more of it and then you can let the stories go. New Moon is on the 20th at 6:01 am PST near the Galactic Center. Then the 21st brings the Solstice as the Sun enters Capricorn at 4:23 pm PST. On the 30th Pluto arrives at the Galactic Center.

I've waited my entire 30 year career as an astrologer to see Pluto at the Galactic Center. It does this every 250 years or so. It is like a keyway that lines up and reveals our greater Orbit, our greater existence in a collective process that is generally beyond our awareness. This one is the first one that we are conscious of because Pluto was only discovered in 1931. The last time Pluto was at the Galactic Center was 12/31/1758. There was a stellium of six planets, from Jupiter on in, conjunct in Capricorn. Saturn was in the first clicks of Pisces which is the Aquarian Age/Piscean Age juncture. Uranus was in Pisces just like now and square to Pluto, more exactly than now. Neptune was opposite, almost exactly, as to where it is now. Pope Benedict the 4th died; we currently have Pope Benedict the 6th. The 8th Dalai Lama died; we now have the 14th. What especially stands out in the mundane is that six days before the last conjunction of Pluto at the Galactic Center, Haley's comet reappeared for the first time since it had been discovered. So folks' attention was profoundly pulled out into space. Within some subsequent decades, Uranus and Neptune would be discovered. The neighborhood was getting bigger in our collective awareness.

On this round of Pluto going through the Galactic Center, we get actual information and conscious downloads of the greater Orbit. Remember with all of this that it's just wheels upon wheels, stories upon stories. The center of the galaxy is not your Home in the ultimate sense, but it is a kind of home to some, perhaps many. That is what is getting remembered. Home is phoning ET. So the little green or grey or whatever men are landing. The awareness of other dimensional beings will become mainstreamed in the year ahead. Whether they come on rocket ships or just slip through the wormholes or whatever is finally less important than the fact that they exist. This thoroughly fucks with the egomaniacal homocentric fundamentalist Christianity that is so noisy in our world these days. How are they going to explain this one in Sunday school? It'll be fun to watch...

The dominance of the Throne was getting ready to begin transfer over to the State in 1758. The Throne had gotten huge on the backs of indigenous people all over the planet through the horror and wonder of colonization. We have been getting hybridized by the entire process and the world hasn't been the same ever since. Eventually, this lead to the dominance of the Corporation over Thrones and States. Now we shall see what we will do about this oppressive trillion pound rhinoceros in our living room/womb. Collective death seems imminent on some days. We vainly think we are in control, fiddling while Home burns in the Nero death experience of it all. It's time for wisdom to catch up to power. I'm not betting on that yet.

There is a tremendous echo from 1758 to 2007. We are getting much more conscious but losing the ancient awarenesses of life on the planet. A bunch of superstitions have shaken out whilst we add on new ones based in science or whatever. The world is not flat; it's round. Now we get to see that what goes round comes around. Maybe we'll wake up in the karmic sleep. I'm saying radically that Awakening still maintains your identification in slumberland/Dreamtime. Skip the sidetrack of enlightened awakening and just see the Dream for what it is. Claim your own consciousness and clear your own karmic loopty dupe. Being awake in the Dream is lucid looping. Just clear your identification in all of the software and hardware. No place to go nothing to do. Let what was never you, come undone.

It's been a hell of a year. You've been to the pit and back. Many of you still feel in the pit. The pity party is always available. Complain all you like, but get on with you being your self in the playground of it all. The more you play, the less you get ground.

Happy giggling with all the wiggling,
Mark Krueger
