Four people were arrested in
Sacramento, California earlier this
year after they kidnapped a
woman and threatened to kill her
unless she entered her bank and
withdrew money for them while
they waited outside in a truck,
Once inside the bank, the woman
merely notified the security guard
to call the police, who arrived
shortly and arrested the men.

Ray Douglas Thomas Jr., 37, was
arrested last month in San An-

of 13 bags of potting soil from a
builders’ supply store. While being
chased by police, Thomas tried to
leap from the driver's seat of his
moving car and got his sleeve
caught in the door. He was drag-
ged 20 rnetres before falling free
and being run over by the car’s
rear wheel. Police subsequently
scraped him off the ground and
arrested him.

The Aquarian era

PART TWO: Our world in
transition. Astre-
psychologically speaking, the
collective unconscious of
North America could not
assimilate the social changes
of the 1960s and early 1970s
without first reacting against
them.

There is a “law” of human
psychological evolution that we
won't (not ‘can’t’’} accept any-
thing we have not first rebelled
against.

That the ‘‘hippies’’ of the '60s
ultimately became the ‘‘yuppies”’
of the 80s is not surprising.

Uranus transited Aquarius dur-
ing the First World War (1914-
18}. The message was collective
rebellion (Aquarius).

The entire world was rebelling
against the Victorian past.

This was the first war to be
fought using aircraft, the first
Uranus-ruled invention to be used
in the skies... (Aquarius is an air
sign).

The Bolshevik Revolution of
1917 was a byproduct of Uranus
in Aquarius.

Uranus ‘was first discovered in
1781, around the time of the
American and French revoluticns.

Uranus is associated with up-
heavals and revolutions —- liberte,
egalite, fraternite (freedom,
equality, brotherhood) — could
well be the theme song of
Aquarius.

A rise in the status of women is _

a harbinger of the new era.

The women’s movement began
in the U.S.A., a nation with Sun,
in Moon-ruled Cancer and the
Moon (woman) in Aquarius ©
(freedom/liberation).

The goddess Isis is being
unveiled. ;

The glyph for Aquarians resem-
bles ocean waves. Uranus rules
electricity. Aquarius represents
electromagnetic energy or micro-
waves. . ,

The high-tech revolution and
advances in super-conductivity
and genetic engineering ate exam-
ples of the growing Aquarian
energy. ‘

A most striking sign of the new
era is the information explosion
created by recent advances in
technology. :

' Satellites allow us to access any
place in the world and interface
with the inhabitants of ‘‘way over
there’’ or “‘down under,’”

Most homes have cable televi-
sion and VCRs. We are delighted
with choices unavailable only a
few years ago — word processors,
compact disc players, and soon,
high-resolution television.

The pace of technical change
has become so frenzied, our ner-
vous systems so superstimulated,
tat come suggest that a com-
iavucations brown-out might do
our technology-obsessed world
some good.

To be continued: Next week,
part three: ‘‘Awaken io who you
are.”
