Uh-oh! Jupiter Stations Retrograde on November 7, 2013
On October 7, 2013, Robert Reich published Their Real Goal: To Make Us All So Cynical About Government, We Give Up in which the professor explains much better than I can do what this blog has been primarily about these last 8 years. (SO’W turns 8 on October 17th!)

"Entitlement Reform" a Hoax (Robert Reich video) and US Mars-Neptune

In 2006, America’s natal Mars turned retrograde by progression. As it ‘slowed down’ to change from Direct motion to Rx it was what astrologers call, stationary. If ever a non-astrologer (as I assume th author to be!) described America’s Secondary Progressed Mars Rx condition and some of its many effects, this
