The Moon in Gemini opposes Saturn today, seeking modification and adaptation of norms to comply with values in updated directives. Meanwhile, science of the Universe is reaching farther afield, and deeper into our own planet, suggesting new world views of the planet.

Mars begins to pull away from the exact opposition to Jupiter at its station, now moving in retro. Attitudes begin to shift at this impasse. Power of wealth retreats while rights of man increase. We should all gain from this change of emphasis.

Regression is discarded in favor of use of advanced technologies.
