What, and When, is the Future?

Viewpoint by Lee Pearson

(n.) future  — time that is to be or come hereafter.
(n.) time–the system of sequential relations that any event has to any other event, indefinite and continuous in which events succeed one another.

We speak of the future, with all its varying terms and concepts. But what, really, is the future and how will we know it when it arrives?

Since time is on a continuum, and an intrinsic part of the reality of “future”, I believe we should tend it more carefully.  Time appears to merely be an abstract concept which for generations we have tried to make specific, the more easily to comprehend and deal with it.  Does a minute for one person mean the same thing to others? Can that minute in itself be stretched to be longer without becoming yet another minute?  Or is time merely a Mobius strip where the past, present and future all co-exist at the same time?  Finally, would we/could we exist without any time measurements, in which case would there really BE a “future” or simply a “not now.” While these questions may appear to be rhetorical, they nevertheless are important to each of us.

Happy New Year All! OK here we are in 2012, the year touted and hyped by many to be everything from the end of the world to the date of Divine Intervention and absolute levitation. The truth will not likely resemble either pole of the vision but more a blend of both in varying degrees depending how awake and tuned in you are already.

I have been speaking of the Uranus / Pluto Square for almost a year now. It is this aspect that will not be exact until June 24th of this year and complete in 2015, that has largely been responsible for so many of the drastic changes that we have experienced and will experience. We all need to get used to expecting the unexpected on all levels, as weird as that sounds.

Because of these energies, I have been encouraging you to get a clear understanding of what exactly is truly important and of value to you. On what issue do you want to draw your line in the sand and what will it take for you to stand up and say No, I won’t take it anymore? There is no right or wrong answer and it is a good time to plumb the depth of your being and knowing to ascertain where you stand and what supports you and we do need to feel supported.

Personally, I am both excited and a little nervous about the upcoming year because I have had so much “fun” with Uranus Pluto thus far. No way around it this is some challenging energy but the potential is also there for some phenomenal positive shifts and I am focusing on that.

All I Want for Christmas

When I was a kid, there was a popular holiday song called “All I Want for Christmas Is My Two Front Teeth.” So what does a grown up dyke wish for at Christmas, Kwanzaa or Hanukah? After all these years of accumulating Stuff, I can think of more I’d rather lose than gain. Starting with pounds. So no sweet potato pie, chocolate coins or marzipan rugelach and certainly no stealing Santa Claus’ cookies and milk.

This time of year is supposed to be all about peace. I wouldn’t mind a little of that. No, make that a lot. Put a one-way ticket home in every soldier’s stocking. Take all the military funds and purchase ploughshares, not stock market shares. Plough under all the failed strip malls, strip mines and clear-cuts. Reforest our land. The returning troops and the unemployed could rebuild the United States from potholes to playgrounds to honest politicians.

Are We or Are We Not Lesbians?

LESBIAN:  A woman who loves women emotionally, spiritually and physically, who identifies as a woman, wommin, womyn, wimmin (or any other variations).

I recently was privy to a conversation regarding a woman being “identified” as a lesbian, in which she took affront to the term, preferring instead not to be called anything as she felt she was simply a woman who happened to like being with, partnering, and being sexual with only another woman.

As everyone, quite obviously, has the right to be labeled (or to not be labeled), I was very interested in what brought her to this decision and frame of mind since she appeared quite willing to be labeled by her professional status, as well as the more common woman, parent, blonde. Her comment was that too often “lesbian” was used stereotypically, and in a demeaning and derogatory way by so many straight people, that she didn’t feel she was a part of that. I offered that since the identifier “woman” is still similarly used negatively in many areas of the South, would she then not use that term as well?  This was not favorably received, so not wanting to enter into a heated argument, and respecting this person too much to push it, I dropped the subject. Yet I nonetheless was perplexed by this, since if it walks like a duck, quacks like a duck, and looks like a duck—well, then is it not a duck?

Astroflash Monthly Horoscope For December

It is an incredibly exhilarating time to be alive if you can get past the genuinely unsettling chaotic energy that coexists. Those of us who were activists through the challenging times in the late Sixties and early Seventies have been longing to see the youth move from seeming slumber to outrage as our  human rights are daily eroded and the promise of a shining future looks like a dim lie.

That being said, as I look to the scenes of peaceful rebellion in the streets all around the world not only by young people but all manner of people who are being marginalized by the 1%, I feel my heart expand with pride seeing that torch of freedom not only being passed but soundly carried. These are not your mama’s demos either with 21 st Century Technology greasing the wheels! However  for the most part, the police and the Feds are up to their same old violent tricks.

The desire for peace and freedom is alive and well and it feels like Redemption.

Many of these folks have finally awakened to the inequities and basic Con job that has been perpetrated on the people for the first time in their lives! This time IS first and foremost a time of Awakening! Ask yourself, “How am I being awakened?”

We see Vets, grandmas, moms carrying signs and their kids, people heretofore sucked into the system joining the usual suspects, the politicos, labor and free spirited folk occupying the streets in all the major cities.

So what does this have to do with Astrology you might ask? Plenty!
