Notes From the Editor
New Year’s 2012, 2013 and 2014: A Time of Immense Evolutionary and Revolutionary Transformation
By Tara McKinney
As Inner Sight/ILE’s Editor in Chief, I have the cool job of reading everything that gets posted to our site. Since the much-anticipated New Year’s 2012 is fast approaching, I’ve decided to share some very relevant and timely highlights from one of Mark Lerner’s recent blogs, “The Three Future Winters of our Discontent: 2012 to 2014.” Please see what he has to say on the subject below:
What you will see in the New Year’s midnight charts for 2012, 2013 and 2014 is the extreme potency of an exceedingly rare Sun-Pluto union in Capricorn. Keep in mind that this configuration already happened before, nearly 250 years ago, in the years 1765 through 1767. What is astounding to realize is that those early years – when the issue of “no taxation without representation” began raging in the 13 colonies that later became the United States (years before the Declaration of Independence) – correspond one Pluto orbit later (about 247+ years) to 2012, 2013, and 2014. These days, we are in a similar rage concerning how the public is to be fairly taxed, and whether the super-rich and corporate elite are paying their fair share of revenues needed by governments to stay solvent.

The Three Future Winters of our Discontent: 2012 to 2014
By Mark Lerner
“Now is the winter of our discontent
Made glorious summer by this sun of York…”
--William Shakespeare, Richard III (published 1597)
Imagine you can be two places at once at New Year’s in the turn into 1765. You are in London at midnight with 26-year-old King George III and his Queen Charlotte, a royal couple just beginning to make a family together, one that will eventually include more than a dozen children. It is also only two years after the tragic and costly Seven Years’ War (1756 – 1763) has raged in Europe, the Americas and around the world – including the French and Indian Wars in North America – taking the lives of over a million people...

My sister and I were on a bus yesterday afternoon on our way to the port city of Civitavecchia, where we would board a Mediterranean cruise ship after four days in Rome. As we departed that ancient, historic city, ravenously eating our sack lunches while gazing out the window, a staff member for the [...]

Magnetism, the Human Body and Nature
The forgiving state of mind is a magnetic power for attracting good. Catherine Ponder
Until relatively recently, scientists believed that life was mostly a biochemical process. The idea that magnetic fields could significantly influence living systems seemed far-fetched. Perspectives have shifted rapidly, however, and many scientists now believe that fundamentally we are [...]

The Lunar Nodes: Dragon’s Head and Dragon’s Tail
By Mark Lerner
The lunar nodes are two places in the zodiac where the Moon’s orbit around the Earth intersects with the Earth’s ecliptic or orbit around the Sun. They have been utilized by astrologers for centuries and show up in the birth chart as horseshoe-looking figures.
In medieval times, the Moon’s nodes were called the Dragon’s Head and Dragon’s Tail. This association can be traced back thousands of years to the awe, wonder and fear engendered by Solar and Lunar Eclipses. It turns out we can only have such eclipses (where either the Sun or Moon is blocked out) when the lunar nodes are within a certain number of zodiacal degrees of the solar-lunar placements in the sky. There are specific rules for this, and a vast science and art has evolved concerning types of eclipses, their origin, history and meaning.
