SEEKING WISDOM
he Uranus/Pluto
T
squares in Aries/
Capricorn have upset
life on the personal
and global scenes since
June 2012. Alice Bailey
writes that Mercury is the esoteric ruler
of Aries and Saturn is the esoteric ruler
of Capricorn. Wisdom - understanding,
clear thinking, good judgement, practical
knowledge - is the result of information
gleaned from life experience.
Mercury meets Saturn on November 25th
2014 at 26 Scorpio 51’. The symbol is Stone
Steps Leading To A Healing Shrine. The
seeker of wisdom.
Mercury leaves Capricorn in early January
retrograding in Aquarius on the 22nd.
Both signs are ruled by Saturn. Mercury
retrograde relates to our daily life - commu-
nication and information glitches that tem-
porarily alter our routine and create havoc.
In fixed air Mercury likes to hold on to its
ideas and opinions. Unusual viewpoints
challenge what we believe. Saturn enters
Sagittarius struggling to maintain structure
and expand into the future. Meditation finds
kernels of wisdom within experiences.
March 16th: The last Uranus/Pluto square
asks - what progress have we made on
our spiritual path over the last 2.5 years.
Mercury in Pisces makes a first quarter
square with Saturn in Sagittarius followed
by the eclipse on March 20th at 29 Pisces
27’. It is time to act. Perhaps each of us will
commit to an idea or project focused on
healing and peace.
As Mercury moves forward towards his
opposition with Saturn on May 3rd we gath-
er information to support our new commit-
ment. Mercury retrogrades on Gemini May
13th signaling confusion and mis-communi-
cation. Mercury goes direct on June 12th as
Saturn re-enters Scorpio This is the turning
point - Mercury’s information comes under
Saturn’s scrutiny removing the debris of 2.5
years of purging.
During the next four months Mercury in
Leo makes a last quarter square with Saturn
in Scorpio on August 6th, while Venus is
retrogrades through Leo. A final adjustment
to our values.
September 18th: Mercury retrogrades in
Libra at 15 53’ completing a t- square to the

degree of the last Uranus/Pluto conjunc-
tion. The same day Saturn goes back into
Sagittarius. The end of a Mercury Saturn
cycle with Mercury in the air signs - balanc-
ing information and wisdom.
Finally Mercury and Saturn meet to
begin a new cycle on November 25 at
6 Sagittarius 51’. The symbol is A Rabbi
Teaches His Son A Traditional Prayer . During
the year 2015 there will be many opportuni-
ties to increase our wisdom so we can guide
our lives on a higher path and serve as an
example to others. In 2016 Mercury will ret-
rograde in earth signs - applying wisdom to
practical everyday life.

I
t’s 2015 already!
Can 15 years have
passed since we wor-
ried about Y2K?
Saturn will begin
his movement through
Sagittarius. (He does go back into Scorpio to
give those with planets at the end of fixed
signs one last push to correct any shoddy
behavior and to do it the right way.) Think
back to 1985-86 and what you were doing
then when Saturn last transited Sag. I was
immersed in horses – taking my girls to
horse shows, emptying frozen water buck-
ers, and cleaning stalls. Saturn in Sag will
hone your outdoorsman or outdoorswoman
skills and get you testing the boundaries of
your comfort zone.. In the big picture, since
Sagittarius is about the big picture, Saturn
will help the world get a handle on terror-
ists and their cowardly mode of operation.
Perhaps the governments of various nations
can form a connection and pool resources
to fight this common yet illusive enemy.
Uranus and Pluto will have their final
square. The tension they have created since
they started squaring off in 2012 will hopeful-
ly find resolution in the world and in your life.
Once again, Mars comes by to up the ante.
Uranus meets up with the South Node
in January to shock us into awareness of
our individuality. They tell us to grab the
moment and stop procrastinating.
Jupiter dances and prances through Leo
until the end of the Summer when he runs
into Saturn, who asks for an accounting
of any excesses made during the0 transit

through Leo. In September Jupiter0 enters
Virgo, sometimes seen as his sign of debil-
itation, a place where he has to curb his
enthusiasm. He encourages us to work
while we put things in order, cleaning up
the messes we made while he was in Leo.
Jupiter contacts the royal star of Regulus,00
who recently entered Virgo. This gives con-
fidence to the underdog to find their inner
royalty. He will stand in opposite to Neptune
and help us ground our dreams and visions
into some form we can use. It will be a very
good time for artists and mystics. This is
the year to get healthy and pay attention
to your diet and lifestyle and take steps to
make it more wholesome.
Jupiter, Saturn, and Neptune in mutable
signs form a wavy T- square. The nodes join
them in mutable Vigo-Pisces giving us a
new mode of opportunity for growth.
2015 is the year of the Goat (sometimes
called Sheep.) Goats and sheep are domes-
tic barnyard animals. They are gentle and
calm and move in herds. They are good
workers. 2015 is a wood goat/sheep year
with the goat/sheep belonging to the earth
element. This picks up the theme of Jupiter
and the north node in Virgo. It looks like
this will be a year to get a lot of work done.
A slow and steady clear-the-field-by-eat-
ing-all–the-weeds, kind of year. Thi
