ON Wednesday, Aug. 11
at 3:03 A.M. PST, there
was an extraordinarily
dynamic astronomical
configuration, the infa-
mous total solar

eclip: pse/grand cross ...
the major millennial
alignment of the centu-
ry, about which I lec-
tured some 34 years
ago.

This care phenomenon,
astrologically considered, her-
alds over a year of breaking
apart and piercing through,
quickening the end of the old
and the birth of the new. A cru-
cial ume, a crucible of intense
transformation, revealing. the
crux of what truly matters; an
initiatory crossroads for the
world at large.

Tt “happens” within us all.
(As above, so below; as with-
out, so within). A wake- -up call
-~ potentially ominous for
some, and very constructive for
those prepared to confront
challenges with a positive,
informed attitude.

Forewarned is forearmed.

Tam not a prognosticator of
apocalyptic doom and gloom.
However, these energy patterns
are truly momentous. R critical
emergency, soon, will result, a3
of May/June 2000, in the
establishment of a new “order”
or improved model for han-
dling the proliferating prob-
lems that will have ted to the

crisis.

The path of totality er shad-
ow of this precarious eclipse
moved over the southern U.K,
Northern France, Germany,
Austria, Hungary, Romania,
Turkey, Iran, Pakistan and
India. There were “hot spots”
galore. The Balkans, of course,
the Middle East, North and
South Korea, China-Taiwan,
and others less known.

For most people, organiza-
tions, nations...scrious power
struggles and the need to com-
promise (a core issue)...the for-
mer way versus the new way.

Due to a violent jolt to the
structure (individual and soci-
etal) we will be impelled to per-
ceive something quite differ-
ently...presaging a paradigm
shift in heated process

Colleagues write of relation-
ships under developmental
stress and how tolerance,
understanding and the capacity
to skillfully sidestep attack are
survival tools in this discom-
bobulating atmosphere, and

how there may be a surprising
scientific discovery. Someone
like Saddam or Milosevic may
take his last stand. Cyber-ter-
roram may disrupt the eco
nomic system. The plutonium:
laden Cassini spacecrait sling:
snots past carth, this
month...we hope.

Psychologically, it’s
“remodelling” ume. We best
take good care of oar health
and one another.

Economically, this period is
about the gradual redistnibu-
tion of wealth and decentraliza-
tion of power. New global
monetary structures will soon
be born.

The squeeze will be
on..something will have to
give. Push? Pull? Go? Wait?
Much like being at an intersec-
tion with both red and green
lights on. Foot on brake and
accelerator — simultaneously.
Stubborn resistance to “all hell
breaking loose.” The entire
world like = a_—sboiller
room...somewhere, a crushing
crunch, The powers that be will
have their work cut out for
them, in terms of maintaining
stability.

I used to believe in the pos-
sibility of a nuclear conflagra-
tion during this dangerous
period. Although an exchange,
however limited, could occur, I
no longer anxiously anticipate
it. Having expressed this, I
admonish people not to come
from fear, to be as cool, calm
and collected as possible, to
appreciate that we live in very
interesting times and to seize
the opportunity to open our
hearts and realize why we are
