Wishing you all a Very Happy New Year
Welcome to our twenty-seventh newsletter
And a warm welcome to the new members who have joined the site during the past month.
THIS WILL BE THE LAST ARIÈGE AUDE FORUM NEWSLETTER
There have been continuing hacking attempts on the site and some other difficulties with it which have prompted a change of site name and address. All your favourite items have now been transferred across to http://catharcountryinfo.com/. Some people do the daily crossword – you can find it here.
I have moved all current members of Ariège Aude Forum to the Cathar Country Info site, so you should be able to log in and place your ads etc as before. Please let me know if you do not wish to belong to the new site.
Some members did contact me to ask where they could post queries they wanted to ask other members and where they could advertise events easily so I have put the forum back on the new site. I hope you will find it useful.
Val Wineyard continues her serial Domaine de Cabanac here – Happy hot summer days by the pool to warm you up and a new love affair too!

Steve Judd’s global forecast for 2012
The world won’t end in 2012, although for many of us it may represent the end of the world as we have known it. During 2012 the first two of at least seven squares from Uranus to Pluto start happening, in a way that will revolutionise ideas concerning individuality and personal free enterprise whilst at the same time by necessity bring a more acute and incisive edge into the cut and thrust of the evolving economic and political future. This marks the end of the corporate credit and profit culture founded the Reagan/Thatcher administration, much of the invisible money will disappear in a puff of smoke, and individuals providing they stay transparent will achieve a greater degree of autonomy than previously supposed. The Uranus/Pluto square will force us into revolutionising our ideas around personal responsibility whilst encouraging us to be more proactive in reaching out to others in the same space as ourselves.
Uranus/Pluto far outweighs everything else put together, both in 2012 and in the coming two-three years, but underlying this there are a couple of major movers and shakers and a number of interesting side developments in 2012.
The Saturn/Neptune trine from mid September to late October catches my eye as bringing a greater degree of structure into the imagination and vice versa, a time where laws can become less rigid and more common sense – and this is then followed at the end of 2012 by the start of a nine month sextile from Saturn to Pluto, suggesting the reformation of more flexible structures in the emerging new world. And of particular interest is the first two weeks of March, when Mars, Jupiter and Pluto form a Grand Trine pattern, a time where all types of phenomena can occur, but where the predominant interest is that of possessions, assets, materials, resources, money and property. For some of the little people, this can be an absolutely brilliant time.
In terms of timing, there are a few triggers. As previously indicated, the first ten days of March can be very positive if moderation and common sense is exercised as much as other more expansive functions. The new Moon conjunct Neptune on February 21 indicates a sudden spurt of dissolving in many people’s lives, and the new Moon on March 22 conjunct Uranus can also be seen as a time of new beginnings, a fresh start. All of this takes place during Mars retrograde, so I don’t expect clear results to emerge from this mixture until May/June, when Jupiter leaves Taurus and moves into Gemini, bringing a greater emphasis on clearer and newer forms of communication. The trigger time of greatest difficulty from my astrological perspective is when Mars moves into Cancer and square Uranus whilst opposing Pluto at the same time – a potentially explosive combination of the highest order. This occurs during the period from about June 21 for four weeks until July 22, and by mid August has completely gone, with new roots and foundations coming firmly into place. The full Moon on September 30 is exactly opposite Uranus, suggesting dramatic endings at some titular level, and the full Moon on December 28 opposite Pluto confirms this degree of separation from the common mass of people in some permanent way.
And by way of a teaser…. 2013 will be the real year of permanent change, not 2012. Tune in next year.

Steve Judd’s Global forecast for March
What a month we are heading into, possibly the most significant month of 2012. There are a number of major factors here. Firstly by far the most popular and well known influence of March is that during the first half on the month as Mercury stands still prior to going retrograde until early April, it is conjunct Uranus at the start of Aries. Be absolutely sure that the first ten days of March are going to bring sudden and dramatic news that is going to change the world, and that the results of this news won’t be fully realised until the end of April. I hope that his will be in terms of major scientific breakthrough, some type of innovative or futuristic development, a sudden breakthrough in communications as opposed to slanging matches and face-offs. Change WILL happen – it’s just a question of whether humanity chooses the future or the past ways of expressing it. But just to complicate matters and to directly challenge that changeable view of the world at the same time, during the second week of March there comes a Grand Trine in earth signs, with Pluto in Capricorn, Jupiter in Taurus and Mars in Virgo all generating a more pragmatic, earth and structured approach to the materialistic situation that the world finds itself in. So Mercury/Uranus playing havoc with novelty and communications with a backdrop of material solidity and effort – looks to me as though the ‘new economic miracle’ is going to start, although not in the way that the politicians and bankers think it is. And to compliment this, on March 22nd, immediately after the Equinox and the Sun’s entry into Aries comes the Aries new Moon, with the Sun and Moon together at the start of Aries – right on top of Uranus. So I expect further dramatic new beginnings in some shape or form around the end of the month as well. Crazy thing is that all this is happening on or during Mercury retrograde, so the clarity and objectivity that would be ideal is going to be noticeable by its absence. Seat belts on, March is going to be one hell of a ride.

21. Life isn't tied with a bow . . . . . . . . but it's still a gift.
and REMEMBER....
"POLITICIANS AND DIAPERS SHOULD BE CHANGED OFTEN AND
FOR THE SAME REASON".

Steve Judd’s Global forecast for April
It’s mad out there, OK? Neptune’s out on a limb, Uranus is going all futuristic and not giving ongoing situations any grief as yet, although that is dependent on April’s developments. It’s termini city out there, changing of pathways and tracks, switching of decisions and dreaming in futures unimaginable even four months ago. At the start of April there’s a warlike, unholy trinity of retrogrades, with Mercury, Mars and Saturn all going backwards and Pluto preparing to join them. By the time of the relatively tame full Libra Moon on the 6th, Mercury has stabilised and begins to move forward, so accuracy may be more forthcoming and conclusions can start to be drawn, although with Mars standing still all month and not inching forward until after the 13th, real answers to current problems won’t be found until the second half of April. Venus starts its four month stay in Gemini, creating a superficial gloss and veneer of living the dream, but the underlying energy of Mars in early Virgo is going to cut away the banal and expose the root core of outstanding issues. More examples of political and economic connivance will surface, and many politicians may lose their jobs. With Uranus opposing a number of British and European interests around the 20th-23rd, I expect this to be a time of big disruption and challenge, with issues around fuel and power predominating. Big change? You heard it here first – 2012 is the final run up, it’s 2013 that will change everything.

Where did "Piss Poor" come from?
Interesting History.
They used to use urine to tan animal skins, so families used to all pee in a pot
and then once a day it was taken and sold to the tannery. If you had to do this to survive you were "Piss Poor."
But worse than that were the really poor folk who couldn't even afford to buy a pot --
they "didn't have a pot to piss in," and were the lowest of the low.
The next time you are washing your hands and complain because the water temperature
isn't just how you like it, think about how things used to be.
Here are some facts about the 1500s:
Most people got married in June because they took their yearly bath in May,
and they still smelled pretty good by June. However, since they were starting to smell,
brides carried a “bouquet of flowers” to hide the body odor.
Hence the custom today of carrying a bouquet when getting married.
Baths consisted of a big tub filled with hot water
The man of the house had the privilege of the nice clean water,
then all the other sons and men, then the women and finally the children.
Last of all the babies.
By then the water was so dirty you could actually lose someone in it.
Hence the saying, "Don't throw the baby out with the bath water!"
Houses had thatched roofs-thick straw-piled high, with no wood underneath.
It was the only place for animals to get warm, so all the cats and other small animals
(mice, bugs) lived in the roof.
When it rained it became slippery and sometimes the animals would slip and fall off the roof.
Hence the saying, "It's raining cats and dogs."
There was nothing to stop things from falling into the house.
This posed a real problem in the bedroom where bugs and other droppings
could mess up your nice clean bed.
Hence, a bed with big posts and a sheet hung over the top afforded some protection.
That's how “canopy beds” came into existence.
The floor was dirt. Only the wealthy had something other than dirt.
Hence the saying, "Dirt poor."
The wealthy had slate floors that would get slippery
in the winter when wet, so they spread thresh (straw) on floor to help keep their footing.
As the winter wore on, they added more thresh until, when you opened the door,
it would all start slipping outside. A piece of wood was placed in the entrance-way.
Hence: a “thresh hold.”
In those old days, they cooked in the kitchen with a big kettle that always hung over the fire. Every day they lit the fire and added things to the pot. They ate mostly vegetables
and did not get much meat. They would eat the stew for dinner, leaving leftovers
in the pot to get cold overnight and then start over the next day.
Sometimes stew had food in it that had been there for quite a while.
Hence the rhyme:
“Peas porridge hot, peas porridge cold, peas porridge in the pot nine days old.”
Sometimes they could obtain pork, which made them feel quite special.
When visitors came over, they would hang up their bacon to show off.
It was a sign of wealth that a man could, "bring home the bacon."
They would cut off a little to share with guests
and would all sit around and “chew the fat.”
Those with money had plates made of pewter.
Food with high acid content caused some of the lead to leach onto the food,
causing lead poisoning death. This happened most often with tomatoes,
so for the next 400 years or so, tomatoes were considered poisonous.
Bread was divided according to status.
Workers got the burnt bottom of the loaf, the family got the middle,
and guests got the top, or the “upper crust.”
Lead cups were used to drink ale or whisky.
The combination would sometimes knock the imbibers out for a couple of days.
Someone walking along the road would take them for dead and prepare them for burial..
They were laid out on the kitchen table for a couple of days and the family would gather around and eat and drink and wait and see if they would wake up.
Hence the custom of “holding a wake.”
England is old and small and the local folks started running out of places to bury people.
So they would dig up coffins and would take the bones to a bone-house, and reuse the grave. When reopening these coffins, 1 out of 25 coffins were found to have scratch marks
on the inside and they realized they had been burying people alive.
So they would tie a string on the wrist of the corpse, lead it through the coffin
and up through the ground and tie it to a bell.
Someone would have to sit out in the graveyard all night ( “the graveyard shift” )
to listen for the bell; thus, someone could be,
“saved by the bell,” or was considered “a dead ringer.”
And that's the truth.
Now, whoever said History was boring!!!?

Steve Judd’s Global forecast for May
Global
Venus is dipping on the horizon during May, shortly to disappear and become the morning star in a few weeks time, where once again it will link up with Jupiter and we will get another amazing light show, but this time in the East just before sunrise as opposed to just after sunset. Venus going retrograde in its five times every eight years pentagonal cycle, this time round in Gemini, will bring an all round change and re-evaluation as to how we individually and as a species process and deal with information. Mars is beginning to pick up speed, heading for mid Virgo and his August date with Saturn with a bit more verve, and of course Jupiter is rocketing through Taurus now, bringing a great deal of growth into the lives of those born in the last ten days of Taurus, although late Scorpio’s, Leos and Aquarians may not appreciate his largesse. Even the Moons are relatively quiet; although the Gemini new Moon on the 20th is strongly squaring Neptune, so expect further revelations about the nebulousness and deceptiveness of the media. This month is not going to see any brand new startling changes – instead it will see the first results of the changes of recent months, and these results will start to appear more in our personal lives as opposed to at the big picture. Except for those getting hit by Saturn, this is not a bad month – perhaps the best of the year so far. So stupid as it seems, it’s time to cautiously step outside of the cave and back into what’s left of the world, ready to begin again.

COMPARING THE PRICE OF PETROL
THIS WILL MAKE YOU THINK!
Compared with Petrol......
Think a gallon of petrol is expensive?
This makes one think, and also puts things in perspective.
Diet Apple Juice 16 oz £1.29 ........... £10.32 per gallon.
Lipton Ice Tea 16 oz £1.19 ........... £9.52 per gallon.
Ocean Spray 16 oz £1.25 ............ £10.00 per gallon.
Brake Fluid 12 oz £3.15 ............. £33.60 per gallon.
Vick’s Nyquil 6 oz £8.35 ........ £178.13 per gallon.
Pepto Bismol 4 oz £3.85 ........... £123.20 per gallon.
Tippex (White out)7 oz £1.39 .......................... £5.42 per gallon.
And this is the REAL KICKER.
Evian water 9 oz £1.49 ……….. £21.19 per gallon.
£21.19 for WATER and the buyers don’t even know the source.
And after it has worked its way through countless underground streams or melted from glaziers which came from the Ice Age, they stick it in a bottle and put a bloody sell by date on it.
WHAT DEMENTED SOUL BUYS WATER? DON’T PEOPLE
KNOW IT ALSO COMES OUT OF TAPS!!!!!!!!!!
(Evian spelled backwards is Naive.)
You don’t even want to compare it with perfume or after shave.
Ever wonder why printers are so cheap?......
................... they have you hooked for the ink. Someone calculated the cost
of the ink at
(you won’t believe it .... but it is true ........)
£5,200 per gal ... (five thousand two hundred pounds)
So, the next time you’re at the pump, be glad your car doesn’t run on water, or Tippex, Pepto Bismol, Nyquil or, God forbid, Printer Ink!

Steve Judd’s Global forecast for June
Global
The Sagittarius full Moon on the 4th is relatively low key, as is the second Gemini new Moon of the year, on the 19th. Mercury is blasting its way from the end of Gemini, through Cancer and into early Leo and not really stopping to pick up hitchhikers, and even the outer planets are not making any further new big waves – at least not yet, although Uranus and Pluto will fall exactly square to each other on the 24th, and it would not surprise me at all if something specific were to happen on that day marking the end of the old and the birth of the new. Saturn is stationing at the end of Libra, and when coupled with Uranus and Pluto, it suggests further revelations from the seemingly endless hidden depths of corruption and subversion that have perpetuated our society so far. Venus is retrograding across the face of the Sun, something other astrologers are making a big deal of but which I see as relatively minor, and by the solstice will have become the morning star, getting steadily higher and higher in the sky. And Mars is getting faster and faster in the latter parts of Virgo, streaking towards his appointment with destiny as he heads towards Uranus and Pluto, suggesting that mid July is going to be particularly difficult – of which more next month. But the big news is the movement of Jupiter into Gemini and its immediate square to Neptune, becoming exact in the run up to and on the 24th/25th June. Over amplification, larger than life, hype and spin – don’t buy into the headless chicken syndrome or you risk getting caught up in the superficial and mundane, at the cost of what you have gained and leant over the last six months. Bubbles are about to burst, and the sensible person will step back from the front line and watch from a more objective and detached perspective. It’s going to be an increasingly messy month….

A Dr. Epstein was a renowned physician who earned his undergraduate, graduate, and medical degrees in his home town, and then left for Manhattan, where he quickly rose to the top of his field. He was invited to deliver a significant paper at a conference, coincidentally held in his home town. He walked on stage and placed his papers on the lectern, but they slid off onto the floor. As he bent over to retrieve them, at precisely the wrong instant, he inadvertently farted. The microphone amplified his mistake resoundingly through the room and reverberated it down the hall! He was quite embarrassed but somehow regained his composure just enough to deliver his paper. He ignored the resounding applause and raced out the stage door, never to be seen in his home town again. Decades later, when his elderly mother was ill, he returned to visit her. He reserved a hotel room under the name of Brown and arrived under cover of darkness. The desk clerk asked him, "Is this your first visit to our city, Mr. Brown?" Dr. Epstein replied, "Well, young man, no, it isn't. I grew up here and received my education here, but then I moved away." "Why haven't you visited?"asked the desk clerk. "Actually, I did visit once, many years ago; but an embarrassing thing happened, and since then, I've been too ashamed to return. "The clerk consoled him. "Sir, while I don't have your life experience, one thing I have learned is that often what seems embarrassing to me isn't even remembered by others. I'll bet that's true of your incident, too. "Dr. Epstein replied, "Son, I doubt that's the case with my incident." "Was it a long time ago asked the curious clerk?" "Yes, many years ago" replied Dr. Epstein. "The clerk asked, "Was it before or after the Epstein Fart!

Steve Judd’s Global forecast for July
Global
All change please… July really is the month that changes everything, to be followed by further actions and choices in August. Let’s get the lightweights out of the way first… Venus and Jupiter are nicely together in Gemini all month, bringing a social and charming degree of fortune into many people’s lives, albeit temporarily. Neptune and Chiron are staying quiet in early Pisces, watching the show. Even Saturn is still quiet, although he is brewing up a broody storm for August. There is a Mercury retrograde during the second half of July, suggesting that all types of networking and communications will not work the way they are meant to… But - during the period of 3-20 July, Mars will square Pluto and oppose Uranus. Everyone born in the last ten days of December, March, June and September who has been under the thumb of intensity, elimination and forced change over recent years are going to find this period as one of decisive summary leading to permanent action and decision. From a global perspective it is particularly explosive in a specific and incisive way, although that word may or may not be a metaphor. I suspect that the middle two weeks of July will bring sudden change into either the political and/or the economic in ways that many of us have wished for over many years, although the short term period of transition around the 17th July may be particularly sharp and painful for some. And this process kicks off on the 3rd, with the Capricorn full Moon on top of Pluto bringing a degree of finality into the equation. The structures have been bent too far, they will now snap back and the Correction is upon us. I’ve been waiting for this time for many years. The world will be a different place by the start of September…

Elyse Rivin’s walks in the Ariège
Elyse Rivin currently offers walks around Toulouse which many people have found really enjoyable. Now she is planning to come to Mirepoix, Foix, Lavelanet, Vals and to the Lagarde chateau. I am currently collecting names of people who would be interested in coming on these walks. They will last for half a day, probably taking place in an afternoon, and will cost in the region of 10Euros per person. Please contact me Maryj.wood@wanadoo.fr if you would like to join us.
Breathalysers
If, like us, you have been trying to get hold of one of these breathalysers recently I have been told by the owner of our local pharmacy that he cannot get hold of ones with the proper NF mark now and is waiting for them to come in. He told me that the time for getting one has been extended to November. As I know he is looking for extremely cheap ones I went to another pharmacy today - 22 June -and they told me everywhere has totally run out: demand has overtaken supply! They told me that they are expecting their delivery in September. Both pharmacists told me you cannot get a fine between 1 July and November because so many people are now in the same boat of not being able to get them. I have now ordered one from Amazon just in case, but I have confirmed with Craig McGinty, of This French Life, that there is a “period of grace” between 1 July and 1 November when warnings will be given but no fines.

Steve Judd’s Global forecast for August
I’m going to seriously buck the trend here, after one warning – that being the upcoming conjunction of Mars and Saturn together in late Libra during the second and third week of August. This is the last major trigger point of the coming months, and if there is going to be anything explosive between now and December, then this is the last remaining favourite. But apart from that, things are looking surprisingly good. The Aquarius full Moon at the start of the month works wonderfully with Jupiter, bringing with it a sense of hope and optimism that will have at least some substance. The Leo new Moon in mid month works very well indeed with Mars and Saturn, providing both the stimulus and the energy for new beginnings. And the Pisces full Moon, on top of Chiron, at the very end of the month provides an opportunity for integration and holism across the board. Translate all this together, and providing ‘the bomb don’t drop (sic)’, August should be a month where individuals and small enterprises should be able to initiate something new with more confidence than at any time so far this year. The little people are bouncing back…

In the 1400's a law was set forth in England that a man was allowed to beat his wife with a stick no thicker than his thumb.
Hence we have 'the rule of thumb'
Many years ago in Scotland, a new game was invented.
It was ruled 'Gentlemen Only....Ladies Forbidden'.
And thus, the word GOLF entered into the English language.
Coca-Cola was originally green.

If a statue in the park of a person on a horse has both front legs in the air, the person died in battle.
If the horse has one front leg in the air, the person died because of wounds received in battle.
If the horse has all four legs on the ground, the person died
Of natural causes
Q. If you were to spell out numbers, how far would you have to go until you would find the letter 'A'?
A. One thousand
Q. What do bulletproof vests, fire escapes, windshield wipers and laser printers have in common?
A. All were invented by women.
Q. What is the only food that doesn't spoil?
A. Honey
In Shakespeare's time, mattresses were secured on bed frames by ropes.
When you pulled on the ropes, the mattress tightened,
Making the bed firmer to sleep on.
Hence the phrase...'Goodnight , sleep tight'
It was the accepted practice in Babylon 4,000 years ago that for a month after the wedding, the bride's father would supply his son-in-law with all the mead he could drink. Mead is a honey beer and because their calendar was lunar based, this period was called the honey month, which we know today as the honeymoon.
In English pubs, ale is ordered by pints and quarts....
So in old England, when customers got unruly, the bartender would yell at them 'Mind your pints and quarts, and settle down. It's where we get the phrase: 'mind your P's and Q's'
Many years ago in England, pub frequenters had a whistle baked into the rim, or handle, of their ceramic cups. When they needed a refill, they used the whistle to get some service.
'Wet your whistle' is the phrase inspired by this practice.

Steve Judd’s Global forecast for August
I’m going to seriously buck the trend here, after one warning – that being the upcoming conjunction of Mars and Saturn together in late Libra during the second and third week of August. This is the last major trigger point of the coming months, and if there is going to be anything explosive between now and December, then this is the last remaining favourite. But apart from that, things are looking surprisingly good. The Aquarius full Moon at the start of the month works wonderfully with Jupiter, bringing with it a sense of hope and optimism that will have at least some substance. The Leo new Moon in mid month works very well indeed with Mars and Saturn, providing both the stimulus and the energy for new beginnings. And the Pisces full Moon, on top of Chiron, at the very end of the month provides an opportunity for integration and holism across the board. Translate all this together, and providing ‘the bomb don’t drop (sic)’, August should be a month where individuals and small enterprises should be able to initiate something new with more confidence than at any time so far this year. The little people are bouncing back…

Steve Judd’s Global forecast for September
The light stuff… Mercury is going to zip through both Virgo and Libra in the space of a month, so the pace of life at the day by day will be full of news, views and information. Venus and Mars are both in fixed signs and having a bit of a go at each other, making for some interesting developments in the lives of those Leos and Scorpios with ongoing romantic and relationship issues… There may be low level conflict, words being spoken in heat, an element of stubbornness and non flexibility – nothing to write home about, come the end of the month. Jupiter is affecting a lot people but it’s all a storm in a teacup except for those who don’t know the meaning of the word moderation. The Virgo new Moon on the 16th is particularly nice for many. Even Saturn is bringing a wry smile to the lips of those Librans who he is finally finishing with after two-three years of breakdown and reformation.
But here’s the difficult stuff. Uranus and Pluto are going at each other again, in ways that is going to up the world dynamic in specific ways that deal with religious and political differences big time. The latter half of September gets steadily more frenetic, and as we approach the Aries full Moon on the 30th, expect fireworks. The full Moon in question is conjunct Uranus in Aries, and strongly square Pluto, so I anticipate sudden breakdowns and dramatic outbursts of targeted energy in a way that will unleash a tidal wave of potential, hopefully for the better but I’m not holding my breath… I’m actually looking forward to Saturn moving into Scorpio in early October, and I think the world should be too. I think that the end of September is the last critical laser point of the year.

When Insults Had Class
These glorious insults are from an era before the English language got boiled down to 4-letter words.
The exchange between Churchill & Lady Astor:
She said, "If you were my husband I'd poison your tea."
He said, "If you were my wife, I'd drink it."
A member of Parliament to Disraeli: "Sir, you will either die on the gallows or of some unspeakable disease."
"That depends, Sir," said Disraeli, "whether I embrace your policies or your mistress."
"He had delusions of adequacy." - Walter Kerr
"He has all the virtues I dislike and none of the vices I admire." - Winston Churchill
"I have never killed a man, but I have read many obituaries with great pleasure." Clarence Darrow
"He has never been known to use a word that might send a reader to the dictionary." - William Faulkner (about Ernest Hemingway).
"Thank you for sending me a copy of your book; I'll waste no time reading it." - Moses Hadas
"I didn't attend the funeral, but I sent a nice letter saying I approved of it." - Mark Twain
"He has no enemies, but is intensely disliked by his friends.." - Oscar Wilde
"I am enclosing two tickets to the first night of my new play; bring a friend.... if you have one." -
George Bernard Shaw to Winston Churchill.
"Cannot possibly attend first night, will attend second... if there is one." - Winston Churchill, in response.
"I feel so miserable without you; it's almost like having you here." - Stephen Bishop
"He is a self-made man and worships his creator." - John Bright
"I've just learned about his illness. Let's hope it's nothing trivial." - Irvin S. Cobb
"He is not only dull himself; he is the cause of dullness in others." - Samuel Johnson
"He is simply a shiver looking for a spine to run up." Geoff Thompson
"In order to avoid being called a flirt, she always yielded easily." - Charles, Count Talleyrand
"He loves nature in spite of what it did to him." - Forrest Tucker
"Why do you sit there looking like an envelope without any address on it?" - Mark Twain
"His mother should have thrown him away and kept the stork." - Mae West
"Some cause happiness wherever they go; others, whenever they go." - Oscar Wilde
"He uses statistics as a drunken man uses lamp-posts.. . for support rather than illumination." - Andrew Lang (1844-1912)
"He has Van Gogh's ear for music." - Billy Wilder
"I've had a perfectly wonderful evening. But this wasn't it." - Groucho Marx
AND.....................
A nice, calm and respectable lady went into the pharmacy, walked up to the pharmacist, looked straight into his eyes,
and said, "I would like to buy some cyanide."
The pharmacist asked, "Why in the world do you need cyanide?"
The lady replied, "I need it to poison my husband."
The pharmacist's eyes got big and he explained, "Lord have mercy! I can't give you cyanide to kill your husband, That's against the law! I'll lose my license! They'll throw both of us in jail! All kinds of bad things will happen. Absolutely not! You CANNOT have any cyanide!"
The lady reached into her purse and pulled out a picture of her husband in bed with the pharmacist's wife.
The pharmacist looked at the picture and replied, "You didn't tell me you had a prescription."

A nice, calm and respectable lady went into the pharmacy, walked up to the pharmacist, looked straight into his eyes,
and said, "I would like to buy some cyanide."
The pharmacist asked, "Why in the world do you need cyanide?"
The lady replied, "I need it to poison my husband."
The pharmacist's eyes got big and he explained, "Lord have mercy! I can't give you cyanide to kill your husband, That's against the law! I'll lose my license! They'll throw both of us in jail! All kinds of bad things will happen. Absolutely not! You CANNOT have any cyanide!"
The lady reached into her purse and pulled out a picture of her husband in bed with the pharmacist's wife.
The pharmacist looked at the picture and replied, "You didn't tell me you had a prescription."

Steve Judd’s Global forecast for November
Global
What a crazy month. A number of different factors will combine and bring possibly the most deceptive and nebulous time so far in 2012, when you can be sure that any form of extremism will try to grab the limelight in the face of perceived weakness. The month starts off with Mercury standing still for a week at the beginning of Sagittarius, strongly squaring Neptune at the start of Pisces. This brings a conflict between communication (Mercury) and the unknowable, mysterious and vague if not deceptive (Neptune). Not, it has to be said, an auspicious time for an election and easily predictable that the outcome will be nebulous. The Scorpio new Moon on the 13th is a near total eclipse of the Sun, and as such will probably act as a further omen or sign for the more radical factions amongst human society. Saturn is grinding his way inexoricably through Scorpio, not taking any prisoners and bringing up further detritus, abuse and hidden sins from the collective unconscious. But apart from the short term Mercury retrograde that finishes on the 27th, the hardest aspect in the sky occurs when Mars moves into Capricorn around the 17th, and then slowly builds into conjunction with Pluto on the 27th. This is an explosive aspect, very strong in the downfall of structures that are too rigid or inflexible and refuse to modernise. There will be no outcomes during November, at least not those that will stand the test of time.

A billion hours ago our ancestors were living in the Stone Age.

Steve Judd’s Global forecast for December
December 2012, huh? The time of prophecy... Well, I’ve already written lots of forecasts for 2013, and I’m eyeing up both 2014 and 2015 for a new article, so I bank on being left behind when all the pure and exalted ones get lifted off on the 21st... On its own, December holds little if anything that marks it out from any other month. But put in the context of the bigger picture, then indeed this month holds a number of trigger potentials. Firstly, it seems that for many people the last five months of 2012 have summarised the last four years since 2008/9, with particular peaks in mid July, end September and late November, all three dates representing stages of doors permanently and finally closing on the past. The full Moon in Cancer on December 28th will act as the final click of the door shutting, the key being used to lock tight and then thrown away, never to be found again, and for anyone who has been through hell and back over the last four years know that if you’re prepared to make just one more final purge, you can enter the new year with a greater energy of clarity than at any time since 2008. At the same time, December is characterised by an increasingly strong finger of fate, with the Saturn/Pluto sextile acting as the solid parent like base of structure and transformation, both inconjunct Jupiter in Gemini, providing lots of hot air, hype and spin. This month will see ever more desperate words being rolled out in an attempt to influence an increasingly sceptical public about the management of the status quo. The past scares of financial ruin have been that – just scares. But now we are looking at a fundamental reorganisation of the way we live. The whole nature of profit and gain is under strain never before experienced, and a number of edifices are going to come crashing down in coming weeks. It’s December 2012, folks! The end of a cycle, and the emergence of the new. Watch this space, humanity is about to evolve...

Hugh Nicklin has a new series for us – a history of the Cathars here is the twelfth episode, 12. Royal Flush (1218-1229)
Steve Judd’s Global forecast for January
Towards the end of 2012 I started developing a greater degree of confidence about 2013 than I did a year ago, and not because of the hype about various calendular patterns. And this almost optimistic approach to the New Year comes through strongly during January. There will obviously be ongoing developments in the worsening struggle between the have and the have nots at the economic level, and it’s a safe bet to say that there will be further ructions in the Middle East, and not only in Syria but with Israel as well. But this is the carryover from 2012, and although it’s tragic it’s also boring to the point where there will have to be resolution one way or another, so I expect a few metaphorical ‘surgical strikes’. But apart from all that – the energy of Mars and then Mercury in Aquarius brings a nice feel to communication between peoples, especially intelligent communication through technological ways. Five planets in Capricorn over the 10th and 11th brings hope for new structures to start evolving, especially on the Capricorn new Moon on the 11th. And in the background lies the Pluto/Saturn sextile, restructuring the boundaries and organisations of the world in such a fundamentally deep way that everything is changing and creating a greater form of individual knowledge of boundaries and what is right or wrong than ever before. If there’s a problem, it’s with the Leo full Moon on January 27th. Here we get a snapshot of the coming year. The full Moon is squaring Saturn, favouring the traditionalists and seeking to impose old hierarchical structure and discipline. But the full Moon is also strongly trining Uranus, favouring the modernists and bringing new approaches to old problems. But a difficult full Moon in Leo being squared by Saturn in Scorpio? Somewhere a king will die...

Steve Judd’s Global forecast for January
Towards the end of 2012 I started developing a greater degree of confidence about 2013 than I did a year ago, and not because of the hype about various calendular patterns. And this almost optimistic approach to the New Year comes through strongly during January. There will obviously be ongoing developments in the worsening struggle between the have and the have nots at the economic level, and it’s a safe bet to say that there will be further ructions in the Middle East, and not only in Syria but with Israel as well. But this is the carryover from 2012, and although it’s tragic it’s also boring to the point where there will have to be resolution one way or another, so I expect a few metaphorical ‘surgical strikes’. But apart from all that – the energy of Mars and then Mercury in Aquarius brings a nice feel to communication between peoples, especially intelligent communication through technological ways. Five planets in Capricorn over the 10th and 11th brings hope for new structures to start evolving, especially on the Capricorn new Moon on the 11th. And in the background lies the Pluto/Saturn sextile, restructuring the boundaries and organisations of the world in such a fundamentally deep way that everything is changing and creating a greater form of individual knowledge of boundaries and what is right or wrong than ever before. If there’s a problem, it’s with the Leo full Moon on January 27th. Here we get a snapshot of the coming year. The full Moon is squaring Saturn, favouring the traditionalists and seeking to impose old hierarchical structure and discipline. But the full Moon is also strongly trining Uranus, favouring the modernists and bringing new approaches to old problems. But a difficult full Moon in Leo being squared by Saturn in Scorpio? Somewhere a king will die...
