First Quarter on Oct 9 1997 @ 16 Capricorn 15’ A very challenging period around this First Quarter. Jupiter stations direct on the 8th, Neptune does the same on the 9th & Uranus does the same on the 10th. So if you feel very strange & the world outside appears to be shifting & dissolving, you don't need glasses or tranquilizers. For those blind & fighting for survival, it's going to be a fearful few days. Also, the Capricorn Moon, with its capacity for feeling control & rigidity, is squaring Saturn as well as the Sun & Mercury. In the big wave of fear generated by the stationary outer planets, the control freaks will avoid their terrified inner child states by dumping on anyone below them on the social tree. People create institutions with stable hierarchies in order to build long term security for themselves. These institutions usually become rigid & unchangeable with time as certain types of personalities are attracted to them. Conformity to certain dress & behaviour standards are slowly imposed until everyone is trapped. Then the only option at a time like this is to deny what's happening & cling to the familiar forms. The result is the projective scapegoating of individuals who are not emotionally repressive. What will this look like in the field. Upsets, colds, flu, allergies, etc. OK dickheads, soldier on by pumping yourselves full of pharmaceuticals, if you want. You are the ones who'll have to pay the personal cost. If you’re smart, take a few days off work while everyone else freaks out. If you're concerned, you may be willing to spend time supporting others who are hurting.
