The subject at hand is

"Karma", defined in this article as

the outcome of previous choices and

behaviors. Although Karma is often

used in the context of the belief in

reincarnation, I am maintaining a

boundary of the most recent thirty or

forty years. Karma can be experi-

enced as reward or punishment,

depending upon how we have cho-

sen to offer our energies to the world

in recent times. It can be corporate,

global, or very personal. Karmic

energies affect us at many levels via

personal health and relationships,

career developments, social and

political dynamics. Our value sys-

tems are up for evaluation and judg-

ment in every arena.

Saturn in Capricorn

On Dec. 19, 2017, Saturn rolled into

Capricorn for a three-year sojourn.

Saturn, the Teacher within us, is now

in the sign of corporations, politics,

and business. Whenever Saturn

changes signs, there are multiple

changes in the world and the laws

we must abide to get along in socie-

ty. Saturn in Capricorn can be hard-

nosed indeed. It rewards those who

benefit the world and punishes those

who have not demonstrated the les-

sons of social and corporate give-

and-take.

Saturn and Pluto together in

Capricorn

Pluto is the original god of the

underworld and represents transfor-

mation of both individuals and cor-

porate bodies. It also is a symbol of

Raw Power, such as that which

drives destructive storms. Saturn

began to make challenging aspects

to Pluto in Feb. 2016. These chal-

lenges are steadily increasing toward

a crescendo in the first quarter of

2020. Pluto demands the absolute

Truth and Saturn is the Judge

This pair, as all planets, has both

positive and negative sides. On the

bright side we have work which is

both hard and transforming. On the

darker side, we see those who have

claimed demigod status and are

mean, even vicious, to others. The

dark side is criminal in an ongoing

way. On the personal level, it

requires that we work hard to hold

onto personal power in the face of

circumstances that are not at all con-

ducive to our use of it. Be creative.

When this is over, the winners will

be those who have managed to main-

tain their social values throughout

the period and still contribute favor-

ably to the collective.

There likely will be much

more crumbling in the economic

systems worldwide throughout this

period. Making this statement is not

likely to "win friends and influence

people," but I hope my readers will

take this warning and pay off credi-

tors. Those with a little bit of power

are likely to exploit it well beyond

what it is worth. We don't want oth-

ers to have financial control over us.

Failing infrastructures that

have just "held together" in the past

few years will be letting go of their

tenuous hold. For the next two years

there likely will be "surprise" acci-

dents in water, sewer, roads, bridges,

and anything else considered infra-

structure. That which has been built

with foresight to weather challeng-

ing events will become apparent and

serve as a guide to future develop-

ment. We have already seen exam-

ples of this by observing what struc-

tures remain in the aftermath of hur-

ricanes and fires.

The more personal message

is that one or more structures that we

have built into our lives are crum-

bling. This is the third of four years

to correct the problem. Maybe that

structure or plan needs to go.

Perhaps it has been impeding us

from moving forward. It is possible

that this process began in 2016. If it

continues to have value in your life,

much effort and probably consider-

able money will be required to repair

and restore damage. Consider

allowing the disintegrating structure

to transform into an updated version

of itself.

Eclipses

During 2019 and the beginning of

2020 the eclipses will occur in the

signs of Cancer and Capricorn.

These are opposing signs which rep-

resent caretaking/mothering versus

world building. On the basic level

of human existence the polarity is

family/caring relationships versus

work and making a living. Many of

us will be dealing with the desire to

earn resources while doing some-

thing that we love. That which we

value and hold dear will surface in

our hearts and demand to be mani-

fested with greater emphasis in our

lives.

The eclipse seasons in 2019

will occur in January and July. It is

at these times the consequences of

our past actions will be revealed, for

good or ill. This actually may occur

periodically throughout the year, but

eclipses tend to punctuate events

with surprising clarity. We will

become aware of what is not work-

ing to the good. That will require

revision and change. We may also

be rewarded with unexpected favors

and applause.

Though it may be tempting

to focus attention on the dark

Karma, we need to be realistic and

do what we can to interfere with it.

Beyond that, we need to shoot for

making improvements in areas that

we can control. For most of us, we

can concentrate on managing out-

comes that achieve positive results.

Hold onto a basic "love of people"

ethic, in spite of what we may see.

Refuse to play to the lowest common

denominator.

Capricorn

(Dec 21-Jan 19)

The sun returns "home" to your sign

this week. You likely will find it to

be energizing. Now is the time to

focus on new plans for this next year

of your life. Take a fresh look at

where you want to direct your ener-

gy during 2019. It will be a signifi-

cant year for the Goats.

Aquarius

(Jan. 20-Feb. 17)

There is something unique about this

year's holiday season that lifts your

spirit and makes you smile.

Association with groups of friends is

more than normally heartwarming.

Invite them to your door with an

open house.

Pisces

(February 18-March 19)

You may feel as though you came

from another planet this week.

Communications may be misunder-

stood, snarled, or lost altogether.

Compensate for this problem by

concentrating on speaking the truth

as you know it, and listening very

carefully to what others tell you.

Then double check to confirm.

Avoid making assumptions.

Aries

(March 20-April 19)

Be open to any and all invitations to

holiday parties this week. Whatever

feels new and different will add

vibrancy to your life now. Travel

and contact with people from a dis-

tance brings smiles to your heart.

Activities involving higher level

studies, the law, the church/syna-

gogue, teaching, and/or publishing

will be fruitful.

Taurus

(April 20 -- May 20)

You have several aspects that favor

romance, the arts, and things of

beauty. You may be the happy recip-

ient of small gifts, compliments or

favors from others. Your mind

wants to wander in the world of fan-

tasy, daydreams, good books, and

music. It is not a great week for get-

ting things done, but you will enjoy

the journey.

Gemini

(May 20-June 20)

You are probably much more sensi-

tive to what others think right now.

Don't ask anyone else to evaluate

you or critique your work. Wait

until you are finished with your cre-

ative efforts. On this same theme,

avoid critiquing others. Recognize

you do not have all the facts and

your rationale may be flawed.

Cancer

(June 21-July 21)

Things may not go as well as you

expected over the holidays. If cir-

cumstances and/or people do not fall

into step with your plans, relax and

let go of the "small stuff". Everyone

will be OK and this holiday will be a

source of pleasure.

Leo

(July 22-August 21)

Your general attention is shifting for

the next month into the arena of your

career and overall life direction.

Whatever you have created thus far

will be noticed and perhaps applaud-

ed. As a talented leader, you may

attract an invitation to manage an

upcoming project.

Virgo

(Aug.22-Sept. 22)

Plan ahead and make a point of

organizing the steps that you need to

accomplish any goal at this time.

The general tizz of the holidays

could get under your skin. This is

not a time to demand perfection for

yourself or anyone else, so if you

begin to feel anxious, consciously

relax your mind.

Libra

(Sep. 23-Oct. 22)

Your intuition is particularly strong

at this time and dreams may be espe-

cially meaningful. You may espe-

cially enjoy the lights of the season.

You will take pleasure in color and

strive to add beauty to everything on

your radar. Romanticism is at its

height for you this year.

Scorpio

(Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

You may be tempted to overindulge

this week, so tighten your resolve if

you are on a self-improvement pro-

gram. Give yourself a break in

another area so you won't feel self-

abused. Your imagination and cre-

ativity are strong right now and you

may be drawn to participate in the

arts or music in some way. It will be

refreshing.

Sagittarius

(Nov. 22-Dec. 20)

You have a desire to reach outward

to others. You want to share ideas

and express yourself in a larger

framework. It seems everyone is

interested in what you think.

Activities involving legal interests,

teaching or learning are favored.

Travel could be on the agenda.
