John Rutherford: CHECK YOUR CHART
for the Week of 30 January 2006....
It’s the Year of the Dog for Chinese New Year. Will yours be a greyhound or a mutt?
Let’s hear it for: The Revenge of the Little Guy. More to follow this week, much more. Yeah, the little guy, the disadvantaged, and all those who feel that way. Jupiter represents the big, the bold, the grand, and those in command. Neptune represents the distant, the lonely and neglected, the disaffected, and too often “the little people”. The square between them shows discordance, a clash, between these two. The big guys and the little guys just aren’t getting along. more »

Mars has a scarred and pimpled face. The Mariner Valley is a deep trench, deeper than Mount Everest is tall, stretching the equivalent of the width of North America. What a duelling scar. And, Mons Olympus is the grandest volcanic system anywhere in our Solar System, at one time having such huge eruptions as to blow debris, chunks of molten rock, all the way to Mother Earth.
As the first Planet outside Earth’s orbit, Mars is The Releaser. Classically known as the God of War, in this age he should be known as the God of Work. He represents the fight for survival, our basic job in millennia past. Meeting “the challenge”, competing for things, and striving for what’s new, are what gets us ahead. Mars has his use.
But, if and when the basic, the practical, the functional, isn’t met, then there’s another challenge. “What are you going to do about it?” With Mars, to do is to be. Without the doing, being is a bother. Then people get frustrated over what should be but isn’t. Some, sometimes too many, get angry. The inner fires rage out of control. Maybe that’s the key, control, proper channelling of our basic urges and needs. more »

The mine had been cited dozens of times over the last year, then an explosion, perhaps sparked by lightning, but where did all that methane come from? It shouldn’t have been there in the first place. Authorities, then the news services, said 13 were alive, all totally wrong. Twelve lost their lives, one still critical with probable brain damage. “Watch what you say” for the next 3 days, or sloppy words will make you wish you hadn’t, so went last Monday’s forecast.
Also, fitful disorientation made for a rudderless ship of state as the Sun hit the Point of Confusion. For decades, the hottest political spot on the Earth has been Israel. It’s PM, Ariel Sharon, had a massive stroke, putting the future of all peace dealings in the Middle East way up in the air. Biased and bigoted US evangelist Pat Robertson claimed it was “God’s Punishment” for dividing God’s Land, giving Gaza to the Palestinians. What border is he looking at, pre- or post-’67? What a way to make things worse. more »

The weather and all the other stuff we can’t do anything about, that’s what made 2005. Either it was the coldest (China in the last 20 years), hottest (Canada’s overall temperature), wettest (Alberta), driest, whatever… Winds blew, the earth shook, and Mother Nature was claiming her rightful place of power. Mess with her and there’s a price to pay.
Here we sit, with a coming election on our hands. I’ve said for many years, the NDP has the rhetoric, the Tories have the programs, but the Liberals have the leaders. Are the Libs the Natural Party of Canada? What’s the alternative? more »
