True, we cannot create a future without settling the debts of the past. But why wield tales of woe when we can unearth treasures of hope? Neptune and the fixed star Chiron, dubbed the Wounded Healer, are closely conjoined in Pisces throughout 2012. This once in a lifetime cycle of tears and of hallelujahs challenges us to hold on to hope. Forgiving all, let us embrace the potentiality of joy in every moment! Some dreams are chimeras whose illusion best be dismantled and disowned, lest we drug ourselves to sleep, but let us hold unto to, and be willing to defend if need be, dreams of love and brotherhood, peace and prosperity! If we try too hard, they will slip through our hands. We have heard it before but let it be said again, only the presence of unmovable Peace shows the way clearly. Karol Woywitla lived through the horrors of Nazism and Communism in Poland but found strength in Christ which is Love. As Pope John Paul II, he wrote: “I plead with you–never, ever give up on hope, never doubt, never tire, and never become discouraged. Be not afraid.” Pope John Paul II: In My Own Words
