When we add the digits for a year, we obtain a single destiny number for that whole year and each number relates a specific meaning to us. This year of 2014 is a 7 (2 + 0 + 1 + 4). The last time we had a 7 year was in 2005 and, as with now, the country was divided. Polarized is a better word with people on each side believing they are right and others are wrong. Polarization was very strong, but seems to be even more intense now as people become more comfortable with publicly expression extreme vitriolic and hateful opinions.
This 7 year is the 7th step from 2008, which was a 10 or 1 year, meaning a new start. We definitely saw that with the election of Barack Obama. People who had not studied his astrological chart believed positive change was on the way and, no doubt, some people believe he has brought that. Others believe he has been the most divisive president in America's history and not because of his race. Rather it has been his Moon in Gemini characteristics, for example stating his administration would be transparent and yet meetings are held without the openness many Americans would like, the NSA scandal, the Benghazi scandal, the IRS scandal, photographers no longer allowed to take photos of events (instead the president's photographer shoots photos and those are officially released as THE only photograph of an event), etc. etc.
Moon in Gemini is a difficult placement and an individual with this Character Builder(TM) [Moon] in the Respiration System of Live O2 and Killer COO(TM) can lead people to easily speak out of both sides of the mouth. I often call this a "pully-push" maneuver and in a future writing will discuss how this affects people in relationships and marriages. Regarding this post, in other words, one may make a statement, but the opposite is the reality. BTW, in Masters Aquarian Age Astrology, we use Character Builders instead of planets and the lights of Sun and Moon and Systems instead of signs.
It is doubtful Mr. Obama knew he was being elected at a 1 destiny number (I say that because I don't know of any astrologers who are or have been counseling him or his administration, as opposed to previous presidents who consulted with astrologers and we knew about it). Whoever is elected POTUS in 2016 will be elected in a 9 year and will be inaugurated in a 10 or 1 year, so there is the possibility of a very new beginning for the country.
It is noteworthy that December in 2007 was the beginning of the real estate meltdown, which really took off in 2008, that 1 year. And since the recession began, there hasn't been an effective plan for getting masses of people back to work (I said effective - yes there have been plans that have been luke-warm in effectiveness, but nothing has put back into the workforce the MILLIONS of people who have lost jobs).
The government can certainly announce that the unemployment rate is 7% or 8% or whatever, but the fact is, government officials STOP counting lots of people who have been unemployed. They count only people unemployed in the most recent months. If everyone unemployed were counted, the rate would be closer to 20% and even the government statistics indicate the higher percentage for some demographics, for example African American males, teenagers, etc. College educated employees have had the smallest amount of downsizing, which encourages the importance of education. For specific information on how the Bureau of Labor calculates the unemployment rate, visit http://www.bls.gov/cps/cps_htgm.htm#unemployed.
2011 was a very emotional year for Americans. It was a 4 destiny and 4 is the number of emotions (represented by the element water). In astrology, the elements are in the order of fire, earth, air, water. That was the year Seal Team 6 killed Osama Bin Laden. Emotional contagion took over and people went ballistic over the results. The attack was completed on May 1, which adds 6 (5 for month of May and 1 for the day) to the 4 and makes a 10 or 1 day, a new start day. Many people specifically stated with Osama Bin Laden out of his leadership position, Al Qaeda was on the run. We shall see! And with OBL's Sun sign as a Pisces, placing his earth or physical body in Virgo, he certainly has served as the martyr for his beliefs. (The Piscean Age produced at its centerpiece the story of Jesus Christ the martyr).
This year of 2014 will produce even more polarization and we can already see that in the weather - freezing cold in parts of the US while still warm in other parts. This relates to the thinking of individuals who believed their planned trips would flow a certain way only to be thrown to the opposite pole of being stuck.
Other issues that will be on the front burner and relate to polarity include: undocumented vs documented people in America (undocumented is the politically correct term that replaces illegal alien) and inequality of money or rich versus poor people. Of course, there have been discussions of these topics, but we should see them even more emphasized in 2014 and we already know of how loud are the issues of Republicans vs. Democrats, Christians vs. Muslims, and I'm sure you can think of even more examples.
My suggestion is we all may want to keep a journal for this year and note how separateness comes to the forefront in our personal lives. This year offers a great opportunity for us to let go of old stuff and look forward to the new.
Most astrologers agree that the best way to learn astrology is to keep one's own journal and tie the transiting and progressed planets to events in one's life.
One thing I do is to go through my Timeline Report, which I have in RTF format rather than PDF. I note the day for those dates and then make notes on how the progressions and transits have affected me. If you order a Timeline Report, you can request RTF in place of PDF. Not every seller will accommodate new clients because one can change every word of a report, but regular clients trusted the by the astrologer are more likely to get the RTF (Rich Text Format). Even with a PDF format, one can print the pages and make their own notes.The point is to pay attention to how the progressions and transits affect your natal chart and your progressed charts and learn from this. .
As you learn what the various destiny numbers mean, look at the destiny years and try to correlate the information to the year.

Cleveland Freedom
I've been watching the news regarding the escape of Amanda Berry, Gina DeJesus, and Michelle Knight and it is wonderful these women now have a chance at life. Very little has been said about Amanda's 6-year-old daughter, but freedom for the child also is wonderful.
How these four deal with the past as they reshape their lives is yet to be seen.
So far, I have not seen astrological data released, other than dates of birth for Amanda and Gina. I hope at some point we see times and places of births for everyone involved.
Also, I'm very curous as to whether anyone did horary chart(s) on the disappearances and, if so, I would love the data for the charts (I don't need the actual charts emailed to me).
I could be totally wrong, but from the frst moment I saw a photo of the perp (Ariel Castro and no longer alleged, since, apparently, he has admitted to the crimes), I thought he had heavy Scorpio energy going, if not Sun in Scorpio, then Sun nearby giving Mercury and/or Venus in Scorpio. I also expect something in Libra, since, before it became Libra, it was known as the sign Chelae meaning CLAWS of the Scorpion.
The news has discussed the birth of Amanda's baby as beng important to Ariel. Amanda is a degree or two nto Taurus and, if Ariel has that Scorpio emphasis, he could perceive her as more of a perfect mate for him. With Gina's Aquarian Sun, IF Ariel has the Scorpio energy, then Gina would be at a 90-degree square and not as acceptable. I haven't seen the date for Michelle as yet.
Some day, as Astrology is more accepted, a look at a chart of someone like Ariel Castro WHEN HE WAS A CHILD, would have shown this potential and he could have been either helped or, at the least, closely watched.
There is no doubt in my mind, as a professional astrologer, that there are many Ariel Castros in the world and in the U.S. People have diffculty handling addictions and that ncludes sex addictions.

Why Romney Lost
The moon is the closest satellite to Earth. As we all know, it reflects light of the Sun. Yesterday, Nov. 6, 2012, the Presidential election featured Candidate Barack Obama, who has the Sun at 12 degrees Leo in his natal (birth) chart. Yesterday, during the election, the moon transited his Sun. In other words, the Moon yesterday reflected the "Light" of Pres. Obama.
There were people who were going to vote for Pres. Obama's re-election no matter what. Either they are confirmed Democrats or they simply preferred him. However, there were people who intended to vote for Gov. Romney. They had intellectually analyzed the policies of both candidates and had determined Gov. Romney would be the better of the two at getting the U.S. economy growing again. It is difficult to maintain one's intellectual focus for all of us at all times.
Yesterday, however, it became extremely difficult for voters who intended to vote for Gov. Romney. You will discover as the years move forward that many of those people entered the voting booth with every intention casting a ballot for Romney, only to feel the impulse once there to vote for Pres. Obama. Some were able to fight the impulse and to vote for Romney. Many others, however, couldn't fight the impulse and, at the last minute, changed their vote from Gov. Romney to Pres. Obama. As a result, Pres. Obama won a second term.
The moon is very powerful in our lives. It will be interesting to see how this inability to fight the moon's impulse by those individuals ties in with what will happen in their lives as a result of the Galactic Alignment. Also, Barack Obama's two terms are the beginning of the end of the U.S. as we have known it. The U.S. is moving to become just another country in the New World Order. This couldn't happen with the economy and the military at full strength. It is very interesting to view the synestry between Pres. Obama's chart and that of the U.S.

Brain and Learning
A quick blog - today I'm studying information at G2C.org, which is Genes To Cognition. I'm in the Gene Finder section and studying Genes, Chemicals, and Cells. This is great information. The section on Long-Term Potentiation, as explained by various professors, makes it obvious that we need to repeat information to create strength. For example (this is my example), the more often we repeat multiplication tables, the stronger that knowledge is and the faster we can respond. This is a great site about learning and, in my opinion, all education programs in college should include a course on brain and learning for potential teachers.
DNA altered by Experience
In the new Aquarian Age Astrology, Virgo is the Genetic System and its opposite is Pisces, the Digestive System, which pertains to experience. Today I am on the website G2Online.org which is Genes to Cognition. I've been going through many of the videoes, especially in the Gene Finding area, which covers, genes, chemicals, and cells.
It was very reinforcing to find the video of Professor Eric Kandel in which he explains that events in the environment can have profound effects on gene expression and brain anatomy.
This tells me that the new Aquarian Age Astrology is correct. Virgo stops or tops out at Pisces and can be significantly altered there. The Sun as hiding Vulcan now rules Virgo and Pisces is ruled by Jupiter. Therefore, any aspects between these two can make significant changes in our lives.
Obviously, two twins born with the same genetics can experience two very different homes and treatment and become two very different people.
We can be born with talents and potentials and, because of experiences, never materialize those or extremely materialize them. Experience controls so much about us and, therefore, it is wise to control our experiences and determine with whom we want to spend time, where, doing what, which chemicals (as in food and beverages) we want to intake and what we do NOT want to ingest (2nd hand smoke, illegal drugs, etc.).

Soldiers with PTST
The news is discussing the staff sargeant who allegedly left his post and went into a town in Afghanistan and skilled 16 people, including children. Of course, I'd like to see his personal astrological chart.
Someday, astrology will play an important part in selecting which people (men and women) go into combat and which do not. A chart tells us who is more sensitive and who is less sensitive. It is the more sensitive people who have a harder time dealing with the violence of war. This is true whether or not the individuals are directly involved. Just listening to bombs and armaments fired can more strongly upset those individuals of all ages who are more sensitive.
The use of Astrology will make the world such a better place in terms of who does what. This is especially true when using Decans, Dwads, and Sub-Dwads, which take us to the very specific energies for individuals. This will show up in twins who are born a couple of minutes or more apart, yet appear to be very different. More on this latter situation later.
I'm sure when we see the accurate chart for the staff sargeant, we will calculate WHY this happened - what was the trigger within him that motivated his actions, if he is the person responsible.

The Illegal Immigration Issue Needs to be Solved
It appears that most illegal immigrants FROM THE MANY NATIONS FROM WHICH THEY COME are in the United States in order to have a better life for themselves and their families. A few are here as criminals and some to promote terrorism.
One problem is determining to which of those three categories an immigrant belongs. Since I cannot determine that, in this blog, I will refer only to those who are here for a better life.
It is true that the U.S. has laws about immigration. It would be preferable for everyone coming from another country to enter legally. That is an ideal and, as with most ideals, the reality is more practical.
Since immigrants come illegally, what do we do about it? In my opinion, the first step should be to secure the borders so that the problem doesn't increase. That would stop any future problem and, if I were President, I would bring home our troops from Afghanistan and Pakistan and place them along the border. That problem solved.
The more difficult problem is what to do about the illegal immigrants who are here now. There seems to be two possible choices: 1) send them all home or 2) bring them into some form of legality.
It appears to be an impossible task to send home all the illegal immigrants, which allegedly total over 12 million. If this is impossible, then it is time to create some type of program to legality.
I'm torn by this issue. I'm very much a law and order person and I believe laws should be enforced. However, many of the illegal immigrants have come here and given birth to children here who are legal citizens. I know some of these children. They, and their parents, are worried all the time about the parents being caught and deported. That is a horrible way to live - always thinking somebody is at one's back, not feeling comfortable calling on law enforcement when one needs help, etc.
The children, most of whom grow up learning English as well as their parents' native languages, serve as interpreters, bill payers, etc., when dealing with the everyday life in America. This is so unfair to the children, especially when they already are worried about their parents being deported. Kids should have the opportunity to be kids. An adult's life is full of problems and it would be wonderful for kids to never have to deal with those problems until they have become adults.
There is a great deal of worry and pain associated with illegal immigration. There also is enormous frustration that the issue is placed on the backburner and nothing done. This perpetuates the problem. Grandchildren then must wear the invisible overcoat of worry.
America should be a happier place than it is because of this issue (and I'm not even considering the current economic decline).
America has been the greatest country in the world for decades and decades. America is people. Aren't the people here capable of solving this issue? It is time. Again, either send everyone home or provide steps to a level of legality and that level does not have to include the privileges of voting. I personally do not believe anyone here illegally should have the right to vote.
Also, many of the people opposed to offering citizenship to illegal immigrants do so because of the voting issue. If that were off the table, some of those opposing complete acceptance of making all illegal immigrants citizens would be fine with a new law offering a special category of non-voting citizenship.
By the way, in case you didn't know, in forming corporations, there are categories - non-voting preferred stock, voting common stock, et al.
Would those people who are now illegal immigrants accept citizenship if it didn't carry the right to vote but did carry all other responsibilities (paying income tax, social security, medicare, obtaining all licenses required to drive cars, open businesses, etc.). I think many illegals would gladly give up voting rights in order to become citizens. Their children born here would have voting rights. And it is a horrible fact that many Americans born in this country don't bother to vote. Obviously, voting isn't important to everyone, although it always has been important to me.
I've thought long and hard about whether or not I would cross a border illegally to improve my life and I wouldn't break the law for that. But for my children? I might break the law. Since I haven't had to face that, I don't truly know what action I would take.
When on the campaign trail, Sen. Obama made promises to take care of the illegal immigration problem if elected President. It is time for President Obama to fulfill that promise. People living in America should feel like Americans and not be torn between two countries. As President Lincoln stated, "A house divided cannot stand."
I say we should secure the border and solve the illegal immigration problem. We really have other issues that need attention (especially joblessness, failing economy, rising healthcare costs, failing schools, etc., etc., etc.)
Comments are welcome, especially on the idea of citizenship without voting rights.
