Moon Void in Capricorn @ 1:09 a.m.

Moon in Capricorn sextile Jupiter in Scorpio @ 1:09 a.m.
Mercury in Sagittarius conjunct Pluto in Sagittarius @ 3:16 a.m.

Well, the Celestial Scoring tonight is brought to you by—the Irony Committee!  Tonight at Midnight, we begin 2006 with a Void moon.  You know we all start each year with such expectations and with such confidence that ‘all will be different’.  This moon will not prevent that, but it certainly will not help it, either.  We just might feel a bit, well, tired!  So, take a nap today, drink some coffee this evening, and go easy on those expectations!

By the way, the one aspect we DO have is Mercury, the planet of transportation and communication traveling conjunct (stuck to) Pluto—good old God of the Underworld, an aspect that is not so ‘pretty’.  Don’t go too far if you can help it, easy does it…and speaking of Pluto, as I write this I do so being confined to my quarters—we are totally flooded in!  This is the perfect illustration of a Pluto/Mercury aspect….gulp.

I will post this while I can, we could loose electricity any minute (Pluto/Mercury) so I will just say to you all, Happy New Year!  Totally loved spending the year with you all, dearest Grasshoppers, thanks for exploring the solar system with me all year!  Looking forward to 2006!

PS....Pam Burns-Claire wrote a TERRIFIC piece for New Year's!  Enjoy!

Moon enters Capricorn @ 3:35 a.m.

New Moon (First of the year) @ 7:12 p.m.

Moon in Capricorn sextile Uranus in Pisces @ 4:10 p.m.
Moon in Capricorn conjunct Sun in Capricorn @ 7:12 p.m. (New Moon)
Moon in Capricorn trine Mars in Taurus @ 9:24 p.m.

Man, I have got to get better glasses.  Yesterday I told you that you had until 11:35 a.m. to write your list, and I was wrong, so sorry! 

Yes, Luna entered Capricorn in the wee hours today (3:35 a.m.) and yes, 11:35 would be eight hours later from then, BUT when I looked a little closer (WITH my glasses on) and I saw that although Luna spends the day in Capricorn, she does not go NEW—exactly conjunct the Sun—until 7:12 p.m.!!!  Well, I guess I am going to have to re-write this list!!

It is actually the first time I have written one in a long time.  I know, I know, I constantly tell YOU Grasshoppers to do this, but I am the White Rabbit, constantly running late, and I always seem to miss my eight hour curfew.  I got up today all jazzed—I mean, this year I really WANT stuff (like, er, paying down that 2nd mortgage stuff!) so I thought, “Hey—this is my chance!  Ironic, eh?  Maybe there is wisdom in having to write this over.  Much like the blackboard, “I will not talk in class” (guess who wrote THAT on more than one occasion?)  Anyway, anything this important is worth doing right, so consider (if you have already written your list, too) that you have had a chance to PRACTICE and by 7:12 p.m. tonight, you will really KNOW what you want to vision for your new year!

So, the first New Moon is in Capricorn, as it always is.  The first moon of our thirteen moons of the year start us at the top of the Zodiac Wheel, since Capricorn is the sign that is the natural ‘ruler’ of the 10th house of Authority, or Leadership.  Luna lights the way—where will we lead ourselves?  We must remember that what guides us is not a force outside of us, WE are the force!

Speaking of force, right after our Luna is new, within our new eight hour time constraint, (from 7:12 p.m. until 3:12 a.m.) Luna will trine Mars, at 9:24 p.m.  This gives our vision POWER, as a trine to Mars is a can-do aspect, so know that if you write your list tonight, you are engaging Mars to help you achieve it! (Perfect)

I was watching the News (I know, I know, but I HAVE been trying to give it up) and they were doing a little special interest story about eBay.  It appears that on eBay you can (after tomorrow night) buy a piece of the big, mirrored ball that drops on Times Square at Midnight New Years Eve.  Remember, this ball is made of hundreds of tiny mirrored sections, and each is for sale, a keepsake and collectable.  Now, this is not what I want to tell you Grasshoppers….

While I was watching this news piece, they showed last years ball dropping, fire works all around, everyone cheering.  I didn’t see this at first, although ironically it was ALL you could actually see, but the ball was dropping over a large, neon sign that said, Discover Card.  Yes, the ultimate advertising spot, the Super Bowl of Advertising, there to be seen by ALL the planet!  What do you think this bloated, corporate entity paid to put their big, neon moniker right up there under that descending mirrored globe????  Big bucks, no doubt, but then it hit me.

What if EVERYONE chipped in, and we all bought that slot?!!  How many people are there in the USA? (Not to mention The World!)   I bet we could fund raise and easily be able to raise the money for such a great cause…think about it….what IF, at midnight, 2007, because millions and millions of people got together, with one intention, we all chipped in and we all bought the spot right under the large mirrored ball, and precisely at midnight when the ball dropped, our own neon sign lit up.  What if that signs did not advertise corporate greed.  What if that sign, for the first time ever, due to the joined recourses of everyone, was a sign that reflected a vision and intention that everyone in our country had an opportunity to be part of placing there.  Not just a vision, but a collective empowerment

What IF, at precisely Midnight of 2007, we all looked up and we saw this sight.

The crystal, mirrored ball drops over a lighted sign, the sign says:

WORLD PEACE

Imagine.........

I’m putting it on my list!

Moon in Sagittarius goes void @ 7:01 p.m.

Moon in Sagittarius sextile Neptune in Aquarius @ 4:05 a.m.
Moon in Sagittarius conjunct Mercury in Sagittarius @ 3:25 p.m.
Moon in Sagittarius conjunct Pluto in Sagittarius @ 7:01 p.m.

Yes, Grasshoppers, today is the last day of the last moon of 2005. 

With that, there is a sadness, a sense of completion but also time to prepare…the moon will be NEW tomorrow, the first new moon of the new year, 2006…it occurs in the middle of the night @ 3:35 a.m., so with the eight hours allotted, we have until 11:35 a.m. tomorrow morning to write our first list of the new year.

Because my mind can no longer distinguish what I have said and what I have thought, did I propose the ritual of keeping these monthly lists, all 13 of them, and at the end of the year at this time using them for a ritual?  Well, if I did or I didn’t, what do you think?   This way, you can observe your evolution throughout the year….what is/was important to you, how those desires were achieved or dismissed as your year develops. 

As you read what you have found important enough to write about, you will see if you have been consistent, and this ritual will keep you ‘on the page’ with those visions and intentions.  Remember, this is not just some sort of laundry list of ‘wants’, it is about having a dialog with yourself about what is important to you, and how you are willing to work with yourself to achieve it.  At the end of the year, maybe we’ll all get together and have a big bon-fire, and send our lists to Great Spirit!  What do you think?  What a New Year THAT would be!!!

Moon enters Sagittarius @ 12:44 a.m.

Moon in Sagittarius square Uranus in Pisces @ 1:56 p.m.
Moon in Sagittarius trine Saturn in Leo @ 6:14 p.m.
Sun in Capricorn sextile Uranus in Pisces @ 10:06 p.m.

I was out yesterday getting the last of my ‘catch up’ stuff done.  You know, the “Go back to Mervyn’s and get the plastic thing out of the shoes that they forgot to remove that has to be out of there before you can wear them because they beep” stuff, and many other small details of that sort.  I got everything done in a timely manor, and when it all went so smoothly, I was remembering yesterday’s Dujour, and the fact that there was a Void moon throughout the day, and I thought, “Hey, this doesn’t feel very void-like!”  Hum, I mean, everything was so efficient.  Then it hit me; the moon may have been void, but it was not void in my chart!!!

Okay, listen up, Grasshoppers.  Remember the first rule of all astrology?  It’s that it is ALL PERSONAL!!  In my own, personal chart, I have three planets in late degrees (two at 29 degrees, the very last!) what this means is, the moon never voids in my chart!  I keep going, and going (help!) anyway, if your planets stop at, say, 21 degrees (out of the possible 30) then the last 9 degrees are always void in your chart, if they are void in the daily aspects.  This means that you would feel it, by feeling spacey and disconnected.

Now, it certainly looked void ‘out there’ yesterday—the traffic was confused, the clerks were slow and disoriented, and the rain seemed to made things harder and unfamiliar, but I just zipped along—check your charts, and you will see where you stand when this phenomenon hits, every three days or so!

Today, at the wee hours, Luna went into Sag, and we are at the last of our old moon, the last of the 13th moon, and Friday will be the first moon of the new year.  This is such a time of completion in nature, and it is so in the customs of our times.  We clean up, gather, and finish—stuff from the holidays, getting ready to do our January diets (I’m sure I’m not the only one here) and, of course, gathering papers to calculate the ever-present taxes.  There is a feeling of ‘over’ with things, a kind of a sadness…the tide going ‘out’.  When it swooshes IN, it’s a whole new world.

Anyway, in true Aries fashion, I am jumping ahead.  It’s not over till it’s over, so enjoy this day.  It’s raining BIG TIME, so drive safely, and take advantage of this connected moon to tidy up those details!

Moon Void in Scorpio

Mars in Taurus square Saturn in Leo @ 4:08 p.m.

Gosh everyone, I really meant to write Dujour yesterday—it’s just that I got up and my house was, Santa meets Fallusia (er, an explosion of paper!), the laundry was as high as our national debt, and I still had sugar in my system (who can do Christmas without it?) so I was brain-comatose…and under those circumstances, no Dujour is a good Dujour.

Yesterday was a big one, too….besides our Luna being in Fixed Scorpio and making beaucoup aspects, it was full of holidays to hail—like Kwanzaa and Hanukkah, and something called Boxing Day (celebrated in England) although I can’t remember what the're about, but no matter, I missed them all while I was deep into janitorial duties.  I do feel better today and I hope all of you have returned to a place of order, comfort and optimism…it is, after all, the first day of the rest of our lives….(until next year—when I SWEAR I will do this all differently! Although I know I have said that before….)

Now, all day long today, Luna (totally tuckered out after making aspect after aspect yesterday—six of them in all!) is in the Void…I, think she has earned a day to ease back in to ‘the pattern’, and today is a good day to take it easy, and (if possible) for rest.  Now, rest does not mean sleep (unless you can, and that is what you want) but rest simply means an absence of pressure.  Can you do that today?  The void moon will keep pulling us into a drifting mindset…if we do not assign big expectations to the day, we do not have to feel frustrated if it is hard to accomplish them.  Still, life goes on, and void or no void we work and complete tasks and catch planes, etc…but if we understand that void moon’s create a type of ‘dis-connect’, then it is easier to allow extra time in order to complete our tasks.

There is one exact aspect today, and it is the intense and ‘yang’ Mars in square to the stern and unmovable Saturn—this is a doozy!  It is right around commute time today—4:08 p.m., so easy does it, this can be frustrating energy.  Get any books on tape for Christmas?  Plug ‘em in, and decide to just enjoy the ride home, whatever it takes!

Okay, I can feel myself voiding out—it’s rather difficult getting ‘back in the saddle’. Still, drifting is exactly what today is ‘scored’ for, and who am I to challenge the ‘script’ of the stars?  Go easy on yourself (that’s my intention) and enjoy floating along with the day!

Moon in Libra trine Venus in Aquarius @ 10:21 a.m.
Moon in Libra square Sun in Capricorn @ 11:36 a.m.

 

………and it’s off into the home stretch…up in panic into the chaos of going over  lists of undone tasks, but waking up too late to write a clear Dujour…. And a Partridge in a Pear Tree.

It’ll be over soon, it’ll be over soon, the mantra of the unprepared. 

Lucky for me (and for all of you Grasshoppers), that our Moon has entered Libra, and that is all about returning to ‘balance’.  (And I believe in Santa Claus, too). It will be all right.  I mean, what’s the worst that can happen?  That they send me ‘back’?  (To where?  And is there sun and surf there?)  Anyway… You can see the state of my mind (apologies) but of course the thing I do when I am in bad shape is call upon a ‘clear’ voice—the wonderful TAROT.com!

Great advice it gave me, too.  I got Hexagram # 33, called “Retreat”.  They say it is not to be confused with failure, it’s just about ‘back up, slow down, use your resources, re-evaluate’.  Wow.  Why didn’t I think of that?

With my little resource of Time before my day begins, I am going leave you now and go wrap a few packages.  (Just to name one of my 1,000 undone tasks) Soon we will once again talk of astrological things…perhaps a bit of Winter advice, (The Season of the Warrior) and other topics of introspection and depth.  But Now?  Just panic for panic’s sake…with me, it’s a Christmas tradition!!!

Moon in Virgo goes void @ 8:30 p.m.

Moon in Virgo square Pluto in Sagittarius @ 8:30 p.m.

After yesterday’s big connected star pattern day, it seems like our celestial family might have just ‘burned themselves out’ as today there is a bit of a lull in planetary activity.  Still, Luna is traveling through the sign of Virgo, and there is, in that aspect alone, a bit of helpful energy—at least some support for tackling what’s on those ‘lists’ of things that need to be done before the DAY.

I, myself am up to the gills in ‘list items’ to address, and I need to get to the post office before work, so today’s Dujour will be simple.

The one aspect to occur exactly this day is Moon in Virgo square Pluto in Sagittarius and that is at 8:30 tonight.  We will feel it all day though, and it might contain a certain amount of frustration.  Well, a Moon/Pluto square is uncomfortable under any circumstances, but Virgo to Sag are nerve-edging.  I think it could be pre-Christmas panic, or traffic, or flu bugs, or exhaustion, (all of the above?) but whatever it is, it will not keep you from your tasks at hand.

After all, you know the Virgo Moon motto:  Not rain nor sleet nor snow, etc…will stop a Virgo moon from completing the list! Mark it down, cross it off!

Moon in Virgo opposition Uranus in Pisces @ 9:39 a.m.
Sun enters Capricorn! @ 10:35 a.m.
Moon in Virgo trine Mars in Taurus @ 1:09 p.m.
Moon in Virgo square Mercury in Sagittarius @ 5:44 p.m.
Moon in Virgo sextile Jupiter in Scorpio @ 6:17 p.m.

Wow—wadda day!  Realize, Grasshoppers, that this very active day in the stars will be the chart of our new year—at 10:35 a.m., when the Sun enters Capricorn, the first sign of Winter, the Season of the Warrior, it enters along with a pantheon of astrological planetary connections, and we are in for a ride!

No, it’s not a BAD thing, in fact, connection is what we are after.  After all, take a look at all of humanities problems.  Without connecting the result (for example, Terrorism) to the actions (for example, exploitive Capitalistic Imperialism) we will never understand why people strap bombs on their bodies and blow a bunch of other people up.  They don’t do it for fun, you know.  Connecting the dots means understanding cause and effect.  Humm….isn’t that the law of Karma?  Well, if humans are dealing with Karma this year, it may not be pretty.  But you know, I have been really bah-humbugging it lately, and I actually have something more upbeat to talk about.

Last night was my Solstice gathering.  I have a ‘Circle’ of women friends that have been meeting every Solstice and Equinox for about twenty years.  It is as close to ‘church’ that I come these days, and it is very replenishing and uplifting.  We do ceremony, talk, pick a Tarot card for the season (and our helpful animal, too) and generally just support each other.  I don’t know how people make it through life without it.

Last night, the last night of the Fall season, we gathered and everyone was feeling the effects of this big old grand square that is prominent in our sky-cap right now.  We arrived, with various stories of grumbling…chatter, chatter, to such an extent, that Audrey (our un-official High Priestess Leader) called the agenda.  She said, ‘Why don’t we take a few moments and just gripe’.  Wow.  Inspired!  It wound up being the whole night.  Around the circle we went, story after story, gripe, gripe, kvetch, whine, grumble…and somewhere after the first few stories, ( accompanied by generous amounts of Champagne) as our complaining became more dramatic (encouraged by everyone’s gasps of ooos and ahhhs, and competing stories of ‘tragedy and mahem’) we were in side-splitting, fall out of your chair hysterics… and I tell you all, I woke up this morning…. healed!! Well, I was after I took two Excedrin’s.

Community, perspective and spirit…the answer to everything! 

So hey, here we are, and today’s the day the Sun begins to ‘tilt’ the other direction, bringing with it increasing bits of light, and eventually, more warmth.  Actually, speaking of the Sun, Barbara just called (a bit blurry, she hasn’t taken any aspirins yet) but she wanted to catch me before I posted today’s Dujour.  She has not been able to get the monthly Tarot up, as she was running late and then her computer crashed completely!  (and still is…any computer healers out there?) Anyway, the big story is that this December, the Tarot card for this month and year (Arrived at by adding  2005 (year) 2 + 5 = 7 with the 12th month of the year,  which equals 19—and in the Tarot deck, this is the number of the card,  The Sun!!!) 

Here we are, in the year when the Sun is the card to begin our celestial year.  It’s a good omen.  Re-birth, creativity, collaboration, all second chances are in the domain of The Sun….it always returns, even after it has ‘gone down’ and all is in darkness.  I always forget that…but no matter, it comes up anyway, even without my faith!

After our griping (which took hours!) we went around the circle again and this time we declaired what we ‘stood’ for.  The Winter, the Season of the Warrior, is all about ‘showing up’.  If you show up for your desires and beliefs, in spite of your fears and your weariness, then anything is possible!  It is where it all starts—showing up!  Around the circle we went again, showing up for creativity, faith, and trust.  Me?  I knew right away….been grumbling around in fear for months now.  (You should have heard me complain, er, probably not!) so I took a stand for courage.  It’s what you need when you are scared, remember, it means… “stand by your heart”.  The minute I said it, I felt better.  Connected again! And that brings us back to the chart of this day, the first day of the new celestial year.

The chart of the equinox is intense, and I think this new year will be an intense one…very, very ‘interesting’.  Well, we all ‘chose’ to come back at this time, and be here for these ‘interesting times’ for a reason, what about you?

Today at 10:35 a.m., when the sun enters Capricorn, ask your self what you will stand in support of this next year.  Faith?  Courage?  Fairness?  Humor?  Knowledge?  Patience? Discipline?  You can make it up, or grab a tried and true ‘purpose’.  It is good to stand for something….with a sense of purpose, we are made stronger, which is the Way of the Warrior!

Happy, happy Solstice!  Wishing you stregnth, purpose and a joyful re-birth!!

Moon in Leo trine Pluto in Sagittarius @ 7:25 a.m.
Moon in Leo trine Sun in Sagittarius @ 5:08 p.m.

I really need to take this day off, Dujourians, my schedule is waaaay off, and I am hoping to take some time this morning and catch up.  Besides, you would only be hearing me talk about King George the W and his absolute power corrupting absolutely, and I think you would just as soon do without that, Christmas coming and all.  Still, I wonder if I am on one of his terrorist lists—according to the Web Stat thing, (as best as I can understand it) I am being read by the US military (it SAYS so!) This Web stat thing is very cool; you get to see who is along for the ride with you! (Just learned how to read it)   I was excited to see that there is someone reading Dujour from their home in the Seychelles Islands—(who ARE you? and where IS that?) Anyway, if they are looking at Homeland Security, they must know by now how I feel about W., but I swear I thought we were ALLOWED to think with our own minds! (When did they change that law?)

Of course, there is the point that the recent budget bill was ‘stealth booby trapped’ with a measure to be able to drill in the Arctic---and in YELLOWSTONE!!!!  Who ARE these guys, and why do they hate the earth?

Anyway, see what I am saving you from?  If I wasn’t writing a dujour today, I would just go on and on.  The real topic today, however, is not the illusion of the world of politics, but the fact that today is the day of The Cusp.

We are on the cusp (cusp is the place between two things) between the season of The Teacher (fall) and the season of The Warrior (winter).  It is a very sacred time, a time when knowledge meets leadership.  The interesting thing about having a leader that is not trustworthy (or not able to lead at all! Think Katrina) is that it FORCES us to be leaders for ourselves.  Kind of homeopathic.  So, ponder today, Grasshoppers, if YOU are YOUR OWN leader, WHERE are you taking yourself?

Moon in Leo

Moon in Leo conjunct Saturn in Leo @ 3:31 a.m.
Moon in Leo square Jupiter in Scorpio @ 4:34 a.m.
Moon in Leo oppose Neptune in Aquarius @ 1:31 p.m.

Ah, the Monday before Christmas.

It is tradition that on this day I move into a full panic attack, and I think that this year is no exception.  I always feel this way, but on the 21st, at 10:35 a.m., when the Sun moves into Capricorn and begins to increase his light, I finally begin to feel the wonder of the season—in spite of the pressures brought about by Christmas!  It is then when the sacredness of the times is in the air—Solstice has arrived!

These days, those are fighting words!  Kind of silly, but the big Happy Holiday/Merry Christmas brouhaha, about how to greet each other is a major distraction. I mean if we really want to get fussy about this, we can bring up the fact that all of the magical and creative parts of this holiday (the tree, gifts and sharing) all come from the early Pagan times, when at the Solstice, (which was often one of the coldest times of the year), the owners of the land (Land Lords) would bring food, treats (oranges and sweets) to their tenants, both to thank them for their hard work and labor on their behalf, but also to keep them alive!   Same with the ‘boughs of holly’, custom, which added beauty and a sense of change in that bleak season, but they would be the foliage indigenous in bloom then, therefore what would be used for burning. Even the fact that the ‘Son is born’ is a copy from the fact that the Sun is re-born at the Solstice.  The rumor has it that Christ was actually born in Pisces, and historians point to the weather patterns in that geographical area (Bethlehem) as proof to back up this hypothesis.  Also, let us not forget that Christ’s first official visitors were Astrologers—those Kings who followed the star! (Which had been foretold!!!)  Anyway, don’t get me started…. The Old Religion, Paganism (as I have mentioned, Grasshoppers, it means ‘Earth Worshiper Who Lives in the Country’) is closer to what I am than any other official ‘title’ out there, since I love this earth, and I live in the country (er, suburbs, actually, but it LOOKS like the country!) Paganism is a practice that will never die, in spite of how much it has been discouraged, demonized and repressed.  It is because it is what the earth DOES, and you just can’t suppress Mother Nature (have you noticed that this year?)

Anyway, today is a big old grand fixed square again (so what else is new) and out we go, into the stew,  trying to get it all together before most of us will get some time off. 

Time Off—now THAT’s a holiday!

In the middle of this crazy time, don’t forget to listen to your ‘mother’.  The Old Year is over on Wednesday.  The New Year (according to Mom Nature) will begin that day at 10:35 in the morning.  It is a sacred time.  The Solstice is the most ancient of all celebrations, and has been celebrated since the days of our first Ancestors.  Let us honor them, our selves and our earth, by taking TIME out and saying ‘Thank You’ for all that we have.  It is good to start our new year in gratitude.

Moon Void of course in Cancer

You can see that those stars are traveling ‘between the lines’ here today, they are most likely tired from all the stress of yesterday!  Tomorrow Luna will hit the scene in fiery Leo, and you remember that every time Luna is in one of the fixed planets (Taurus, Leo, Scorpio or Aquarius) she sets off the large grand square that is occupying our solar system these days.  That will get us going!!!

Hey, just off topic, but did you all see that as of yesterday, we have a reprieve, a great big Christmas present from our Senate?  Five brave Republicans broke from their cartel, and they ‘just said NO’ to making the treacherous ‘Patriot Act’ permanent!  We thank them, and our children thank them!  If you read it, your hair would fall out!! 

This is not a ‘permanent’ decision; the Senate will look at this again when they return from one of their many, many breaks.  Fingers crossed, this is one of those BIG things that happen while we’re busy looking elsewhere.  By the way, darling Grasshopper David Grey sent me this email that I first thought was a joke.  It was no joke!! It was so audacious; it took me a while to realize that it was real.  http://www.capitolhillblue.com/artman/publish/article_7779.shtml Well, at least today we are ‘safe’ for a while from tossing out that particular ‘piece of paper’!!!

Take this day to catch up and rest if you can.  It might not be an easy one for ‘progress’, but well, there’s less than a week till “C” Day, so waddare we gonna do?

Moon Void in Cancer enters Leo @ 6:18 a.m.

Moon in Leo oppose Venus in Aquarius @ 7:55 a.m.
Mercury in Sagittarius square Uranus in Pisces @ 5:13 p.m.
Moon in Leo trine Mercury in Sagittarius @ 9:16 p.m.
Moon in Leo square Mars in Taurus @ 11:46 p.m.

Interesting day today, it is the birthday of two big news-makers of this year—Ramsey Clark (1927) once Attorney-General of the US, now an attorney for the defense of the hugely unpopular Sadam Hussein.  The other is that lucky fellow—the one who has won the heart of Ms. Angelina Jolie, Brad Pitt (1963)!!  With their Sun’s in Sagittarius @ 27 degrees, they are in the path of our Titan of the Underworld, Pluto—and both of these gents are currently dealing with that underworld in some very dramatic way.

It’s obvious for Clark; I mean defending Hussein is not a walk in the park—especially since two of his predecessors have all ready ‘bit the bullet’! (Assassination)  For Pitt, it is most likely being part of Jolie’s global crusade, the fact that she is the representative for the United Nations, an organization that deals directly with the ‘underworld’ of the problems of humanity! Happy Birthday, guys…good luck with your endeavors. 

Actually, with Hussein there are no allies that want him ‘free’, but it would be remarkable if we could get some of the DETAILS of his regime.  Our current ‘cast of characters’ in the White House were in cahoots with him back in the day—wouldn’t you love to know more about it?  Hope Clark lives through it, and can bring the info to the light.Okay, off for the weekend!

Today’s well connected with those stars—yes, stressful, but also quite possible that much will get done today—hope so!  Enjoy the crisp, clear energy of December!
