To grow older is to mature, like fine wine. Getting older, however, is not so fun, since most females are indoctrinated to prioritize their “looks” above all else.
Judi Dench, now 88, is one who knows this, and much else, that gradually seeps in with the passage of time.


Let me add one more gift of the fine art of aging, which I received from the world view I expanded into, during my 30s, when I began to absorb the symbolic language of astrology. This is a completely other view of the relationship between space and time that engenders a plethora of cascading meanings across the decades for any person who pays attention to processing their experience.
In fact, within the astrological world view, the longer one lives, the deeper and more profound the meaning of the whole.
This is because the astrological world view does not view time as a single linear line, but as a multitude of curving lines, creating circles, enclosing spaces: many nested concentric cycles, with YOU as the center. These begin with the Moon (29.5 days) go out to Uranus (84 years) in one possible human lifetime — and beyond, to Neptune (165 years) and Pluto (248 years).
The larger the cycle, the greater the meaning. The meaning of a cycle IS the length of time it takes to carve out its own space. At least the wholeness of the 30 year (Saturn) cycle should be obvious to those who have reached that age and beyond. I remember my 20s, when my generation thought “you can’t trust anyone over 30.” Well, after 30, we soon reached the opposite conclusion: “Actually, you can’t trust anyone under 30, because they have not yet had the life experience to see that decisions, over time, yield consequences!”
Longer cycles are archetypal. Saturn, for women: Maiden (under 30), Mother (30 to 60), Crone (60 and above).
Again, the longer the cycle, the more of life is encompassed in the journey, the larger the meaning, the more profound the wholeness.
At 81, I am approaching my 84th year, and the completion of the first cycle of Uranus, highly aware, at this point, that I seem to be continuously processing memories and their interconnections, their various cycles within cycles, over the extended time and expanded space of my entire life. An extraordinary gift, to live this long.
Would love to speak with Judi Dench, and find out about the years leading up to her 84th, her completion of the cycle of individuation: URANUS.
On the day after Earth Day this post seems appropriate.
First off, Patrick Moore, co-founder of Greenpeace, since at least 1994 has denied man-made “climate change.”
Then there’s the business of chemtrails, and their relationship to “climate change.”

Oh but wait a minute. That’s just another conspiracy.

I noticed chem trails in the sky the day of the eclipse here, but they weren’t bad enough for me to comment.
Usually, however, they ARE bad, crisscrossing in early morning on any clear blue day to spread into a grey haze by noon and into the evening. I do wonder what they are doing to the supposedly organic vegetables we grow here at Green Acres Permaculture Village. Not to mention the air we breathe, the water we drink.
If everyone’s blood was tested, what nasty chemicals would be in our bodies? Aluminum? Barium?
What disease conditions are either caused or increased by these chemicals? Tremors? Alzheimers?
I google “symptoms of too much aluminum in the body:”
“Liver stenosis and nephrotic syndrome are other important manifestations of aluminum toxicity. Brain and respiratory system can also be severely damaged, followed by aluminum poisoning. Memory loss, tremor, jerk, and death are important manifestations of brain injury.”
How about barium poisoning? I see some notice that barium also causes tremors.
Has there been a study done re: increase in tremors across the U.S. population since, say, the late 1990s? I have an essential tremor. So does one brother, and at least two of my nieces, both of whom are not yet 40!
This is serious business, folks. And there’s no way we can avoid the sky, unless, like Mark Zuckerberg and his “elite” fellows, we dig underground bunkers.
More “chem trails/climate change” memes:

Then there’s the political/economic implications.

Notice how they keep changing the wording? I remember back when it was “global warming.”

So let’s have some fun, shall we?
