The emphasis has to be on effective, accurate communication.<BR/><BR/>Those who focus on that, and can stir up their neighborhoods, will prevail.<BR/><BR/>I'm quietly hoping someone will instigate the modern equivalent of a protest rally, a visible show of real support for a real change in direction.Rodney Smithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06702171113958426125noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36666131.post-42291286762775492442007-06-17T12:32:00.000-04:002007-06-17T12:32:00.000-04:00Thanks, Rod.

You are so right!<BR/><BR/>You say, "It [the next two weeks] is the perfect time for the critics of those in power to hit hard and heavy with facts and reason." That would be refreshing, because it's been pretty irrational so far for some of these groups. Is there any chance those who are irrational will wake up,realize their errors and move on?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36666131.post-50485734663664711802007-06-16T11:58:00.000-04:002007-06-16T11:58:00.000-04:00Hi Kate,There are general trends which affect ever...Hi Kate,<BR/><BR/>There are general trends which affect everyone in a region, and the popular part of those trends is represented in the phases of the moon.<BR/><BR/>The way I do mundane astrology, the moon represents the feeling of the people, the Ascendant represents their well being, the MC represents the leadership, and the Sun represents the reputation of the district.<BR/><BR/>The longer term trends you talk about are determined by larger cycles. Over time, I might get into that.<BR/><BR/>Specific predictions about specific units of government are another type of analysis<BR/><BR/>The lunar cycles I am reading bring attention to what's on people's minds over the two week period, and a clue as to how the leadership is behaving in regard to its constituency. <BR/><BR/><BR/>In the last two weeks, lots of committed partnerships (including political ones) took a heavy, almost irrational, hammering.<BR/><BR/>In the coming two weeks, it is time for reason to prevail, and for leaders of all stripes to garner support.<BR/><BR/>It is the perfect time for the critics of those in power to hit hard and heavy with facts and reason.Rodney Smithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06702171113958426125noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36666131.post-89559754811195888522007-06-16T10:38:00.000-04:002007-06-16T10:38:00.000-04:00Rod, you mention personal relationships being affe...Rod, you mention personal relationships being affected by all this activity, but can it also pertain to the relationships of bodies of government to their constituents? <BR/><BR/>It seems to me that in the past three months the Ypsilanti area has experienced an overload of dissatisfaction with governing officials, and not just one body of government, either. In fact, so many are involved that I can't believe it's all coincidence. You've got Ypsilanti City Council, Ypsilanti School Board, Willow Run School Board, EMU, Ypsilanti Twp., and Lincoln Consolidated School Board all on their respective hot seats<BR/><BR/>I realize these are long-term problems coming to a head, but they're all coming to a head at once.
