The much anticipated cardinal T-square of Pluto, Saturn, and Uranus is an event which has many of us puzzled and worried. With these cardinal energies, we can expect times of fast-forward movement, more shocks and changes, and a lot more hard work.
What these energies also promise is the opportunity for personal and collective transformation, exciting creative breakthroughs, inspired action and promising fresh starts.
Our ability to keep up with the pace of change will depend upon our readiness to set clear boundaries, plan for the unexpected, hold things in perspective, apply the wisdom of our experience and keep our minds and bodies in balance while all around us is in flux.

Online starting Friday, March 19, 2010: Pluto Problems Got You Perplexed? Here’s What Helps! Pluto in Sagittarius was an era of speculation and easy credit, and we expanded far past what was wise. Pluto in Capricorn is a time of facing reality, getting grounded, paying the bills, and being accountable. Coordinated by Donna Cunningham, the 15 articles in the Pluto collection help you understand a variety of Pluto-related difficulties and suggest resources and healing tools to sort them out. They include the debt trap, sleep disorders, bullying, fertility issues, erectile dysfunction, grief, patterns we carry over from previous generations of our families, grief, healing from abuse, and a variety of other persistent problems.
Online starting Saturday, March 20, 2010: Look After Saturn and Saturn Will Look After You: Transiting Saturn’s oppositions to Uranus were accompanied by sudden change and shocks to upset the status quo, resulting in economic crisis. As ripples reached our personal lives, our ability to remain flexible in the face of disruptive change is being tested by Saturn in Libra’s square to Pluto in Capricorn and the upcoming entry of Uranus into Aries. Coordinated by Mandi Lockley, the 17 articles in the Saturn collection will help you work with a variety of Saturnian issues. Experienced astrologers invite you to view Saturn not as a planet to be feared, but as a necessary, helpful teacher whose lessons can help you through life’s challenges. Others provide useful resources, down to earth advice, and inspirational coping and healing tools.
Online starting Sunday, March 21, 2010: Uranus in Aries: Claiming a Self-Reliant Future ~ Unpredictable Uranus is ending his sojourn in Pisces and will soon enter irascible Aries. Following a period of reluctantly dealing with the real world, Uranus steps up to proclaim personal freedom. This is not the freedom bell that Uranus usually rings for everyone, but the unabashed self-proclamation of "My Rights, Every Day!" Coordinated by C.J. Wright, the 17 articles and additional media presentations in the Uranus collection are as erratic as Uranus himself. You will discover some of the disruptive changes Uranus loves to spring on us and receive suggestions on how to work with rather than against yourself as you evolve and grow.
Two more article collections:
Online Saturday, March 20th, Passing the Tests and Trials of Saturn to Build Better Relationships: As the planet of obstacles and inadequacy moves through Libra, all types of partnerships are challenged.

The experienced astrologers featured here will help you to create solid partnerships that can survive the ups and downs that occur when two souls attempt to create one union. http://sasstrology.com/2010/03/saturn-in-libra-and-relationships-part-of-the-iad-blog-a-thon.html

SPECIAL SOULS
We are here and happy to talk to you. Ah yes, those special souls in those special bodies, bodies which do not always work for them but nonetheless work for what the soul’s purpose is. Not all special needs children are as special as you think. There are varying degrees of soul evolution in the bodies.
However, when a soul has agreed from an almost voluntary position, much can be gained. LOVE and COMPASSION are the two biggies to be gained by all who come into contact with these ‘normal’ souls.
Has not Rigil ( my son) changed the minds and opinions of many who had preconceived notions? He does keep on his path no matter what judgements or opinions he is around, a good thing really.
Anyone who is operating on a less than human ability, in terms of intellectual or physical capacity can often be seen readily. There are personalities to go along with the different disabilities. Of course, anyone who can constantly teach you about love without judgement or prejudice is considered a mentor or wise person. Funny how that respect disappears when the mentor appears to be disabled or developmentally delayed!!!!!!!!!!
But these souls can often be exactly that----------MENTORS!!
Mentors in perfectly fine bodies are fine but who is to say that they are mot emotionally disabled or emotionally retarded?? There have been many wise but twisted, so called mentors or leaders. Listen to the words not the package. Non-judgement is huge foe a real mentor. Love, universal love and compassion are signs of a good soul.
Harshness and cruelty abound with so called ‘normal’ souls, who are emotionally delayed or retarded. These are the real backward people.
Some entities put themselves into harsh physical disabilities due to a lack of compassion in a few lives to experience imperfection and to have less control over others. Some entities go willingly to teach and be a positive example. Everyone gains.
So see the good in everyone you meet. The obvious flaws in another will always be seen, but the good can be missed. Look for what is terrific, kind, funny and compassionate in another.
Be another Rigil. He cares little for the opinions of others and sees who is kind, good and funny. He loves funny. When he laughs, everyone laughs. He is a role model for a positive attitude towards others.
So you see you can’t always tell when someone is really crippled. Look for the good. That will tell you.
Thank you angels

RETARD< RETARDED< RETARDATION
Well, these words are loaded. When I hear retard, I think of late in French because I grew up in Quebec. Children or adults who have been labelled with one of the above are often viewed with apprehension, fear or pity. Now the label is developmentally delayed. These souls are here to teach us to be in the moment and to be truthful with our feelings.
I was listening to the Black Eyed Peas singing ‘Let’s Get Retarded ’. This song is only titled so on their album. It was retitled for air play to ‘Let’s Get Started.’ Many of the moral majority complained about the word retarded. Have you ever seen the developmentally delayed dance? I have. These ‘slow’ souls don’t care who is watching. If they want to dance, they just do. I haven’t seen a whole lot of rhythm but I have a seen a whole lot of joy. Who among us feel free enough to dance without worrying what anyone thinks? These special souls are here to teach us that it doesn’t matter what anyone thinks if we want to dance or sing or whatever.
Back to the song, it is just trying to tell you to dance and get rid of your worries. Dance as if no one is watching. Live your life, feel free, be free, just be you.
My youngest son has Downs Syndrome. He loves to dance and has great rhythm. It must be in the genes because all my children can dance well. Maybe it was because I put music on when they were young and we would all dance.
Anyway, my young 18 year old son wanted to go to a dance at his high school. The students in the special needs program don’t go to the regular school dances, they need permission and a parent to attend the regular dances. So my son obtained permission and my daughter and I went to the dance. It was called ‘A Touch of Class.’ Rigil (my boy) wanted to dress up, so his Dad lent him a suit jacket and bought him a dress shirt. Rigil met two other special needs students, two girls, there. We all walked into the gym where the music was playing. There were about seventy students dancing, at least sixty five of them were girls. All the boys were sitting in the stands or playing Frisbee or generally joking with each other while the girls danced.
My son and his two friends headed to the middle of the dance floor. Rigil danced for at least half an hour before coming to where my daughter and I were sitting. We gave him water and back he went to dance. This went on for two hours. Meanwhile I walked around and talked to other teenagers encouraging them not to be afraid and join the dance. Some of them gravitated to the dance floor but seemed to want a special invitation from the girls already dancing. Rigil does not care what anyone thinks, he just does what he wants to. I love him for that. He is certainly fearless in that. Who really was backwards in this situation? My son paid his money and danced while 99% of the boys could not get up the nerve to dance.
Rigil is all about love. He is friendly to people but I notice that the people he will talk to are friendly to him. He has very good instincts. He can tell when someone needs a hug or a kind word and never hangs on to bad feelings or negativity. Rigil is here to remind me to be the best. He is very intuitive and seems to know things before they happen.
One time, an ex-daughter in-law was coming by to pick up a granddaughter. Rigil was downstairs watching a Jim Carrey movie. He loves Jim Carrey and loves laughing. Meanwhile, upstairs Rigil’s Dad was going on about his negative view of my ex-daughter-in-law. The doorbell rang, Rigil ran upstairs and watched from the hall while I answered the door. I opened the door, Cindy smiled and came in the front hall. Rigil said hello and then ‘I love you Cindy.’ Cindy said ‘why thank you Rigil for that awesome greeting.’
Rigil nodded and retreated back downstairs. My granddaughter left with her aunt and I walked into the kitchen. I looked at my ex-husband and asked him, ’Did you get that?’
He looked ashamed. Rigil reminds us that everyone deserves love and kindness. He is in my family for that reason, I believe. I am one lucky mother. We should all be retarded, maybe we would really be ourselves. Maybe we would be more joyful, more thankful and less judgemental. I do know that is all true.
The Black-Eyed Peas have it right. Let’s Get Retarded is a great song and my boy loves that song. That’s good enough for me.
