“We all need someone to look at us. we can be divided into four categories according to the kind of look we wish to live under. the first category longs for the look of an infinite number of anonymous eyes, in other words, for the look of the public. the second category is made up of people who have a vital need to be looked at by many known eyes. they are the tireless hosts of cocktail parties and dinners. they are happier than the people in the first category, who, when they lose their public, have the feeling that the lights have gone out in the room of their lives. this happens to nearly all of them sooner or later. people in the second category, on the other hand, can always come up with the eyes they need. then there is the third category, the category of people who need to be constantly before the eyes of the person they love. their situation is as dangerous as the situation of people in the first category. one day the eyes of their beloved will close, and the room will go dark. and finally there is the fourth category, the rarest, the category of people who live in the imaginary eyes of those who are not present. they are the dreamers.”

If the Moon is part of your natal chart’s planetary dominants, in astrology, you are said to be a Lunarian: the driving force behind your actions is mainly the pursuit of well-being and tranquillity. Your sensitive and romantic self lives on those periods of rest during which you let your imagination wander at will. This is your way of finding inspiration and balance. Nothing is allowed to disturb your feeling of fulfilment and security within a harmonious cell, be it a family or a clan. More than other people, the Lunarian is attached to those moments during which one forgets one’s worries and lets oneself cast adrift aimlessly, with no other goal than to be lulled into an ambiance, a situation, or a perfect moment. Many people do not understand such absences and their meaning, which is to regain strength. These people readily describe you with such unflattering terms as apathy and nonchalance. Never mind! Some inspirations require surrendering as well as striking a balance derived from alternate action and passivity. Your qualities are expressed to the fullest in situations which demand familiarity and privacy. Your capacities to respect and blend into your environment is at least as valuable as some other people’s aggressive dispositions. However, you are well-advised to avoid indolence and renunciation out of laziness or indifference.

Christopher McDougall explores the mysteries of the human desire to run. How did running help early humans survive — and what urges from our ancient ancestors spur us on today? At TEDxPennQuarter, McDougall tells the story of the marathoner with a heart of gold, the unlikely ultra-runner, and the hidden tribe in Mexico that runs to live.

traditional inhabitants are the Tarahumara or Rarámuri. With no official census, the population of the Rarámuri people probably ranges between 35,000 to 70,000. Many Rarámuri reside in the cooler, mountainous regions during the hot summer months and migrate deeper into the canyons in the cooler winter months, where the climate is more temperate. Their survival strategies have been to occupy areas that are too remote for city people, way off-the-beaten-path, to remain isolated and independent, so as to avoid losing their culture. Their diet is largely domestic agrarian, but does consist of meat from domesticated cows, chickens and goats, wild game, and freshwater fish. Corn (maize) is the most important staple of the Rarámuri’s diet. The Rarámuri people are known for their endurance running. Living in the canyons, they travel great vertical distances, which they often do by running nonstop for hours. A popular Rarámuri community race called “rarahipa,” is played by kicking a wooden ball along the paths of the steep canyons. Tourism is a growing industry for Copper Canyon, but the acceptance of it is debated in the local communities. Some communities accept government funding for building roads, restaurants and lodging to make the area attractive for tourists. Many other groups of Rarámuri maintain their independence by living in areas that are as far away from city life as possible. Their way of life is protected by the mountainous landscape

The word for themselves, Rarámuri, means “runners on foot” or “those who run fast” in their native tongue according to some early ethnographers like Norwegian Carl Lumholtz, though this interpretation has not been fully agreed upon. With widely dispersed settlements, these people developed a tradition of long-distance running up to 120 miles (190 km) in one session, over a period of two days through their homeland of rough canyon country, for intervillage communication and transportation as well as to hunt. ^[2]

The Tarahumara also use the toe strike method of running, which is natural for bare-footed runners. The long-distance running tradition also has ceremonial and competitive aspects. Often, male runners kick wooden balls as they run in “foot throwing” competitions, and females use a stick and hoop. The foot throwing races are relays where the balls are kicked by the runners and relayed to the next runner while teammates run ahead to the next relay point. These races can last anywhere from a few hours for a short race to a couple of days without a break.

Pre-tool humans may have used persistence hunting universally to hunt prey. Humans in excellent physical shape, given the time, can outrun quadrupeds, which slow down when fleeing over long distances and lose their ability to pant while running.

 The rise in fuel prices has seen greater awareness and a wider concern for what life will be like when the oil runs out. This has seen interest in less chemical dependant farming methods bringing permaculture to the forefront of discussion and debate.

Bright Side of Pluto

Many Capricorns are discovering a new life via the blessings-in-disguise delivered by Pluto. This planet turns us inside out, and what’s no longer necessary, falls away. Pluto is stripping away what’s not part of the Sun’s core vitality, and its extreme heat burns away stagnation. In 2012, this is especially true for Capricorns with Suns at 7 to 9 degrees, as Pluto moves back and forth here through the year.

It’s also an epic year of being catalyzed by original genius, with the Pluto square to Uranus in Aries. Energies this grandiose call out for a substantial challenge! You’ll be restless to test your own limits, and see what you can accomplish.

You play a historic role, and could get swept up in events greater than yourself. A philosophy of letting go, eases your way, and makes any loss less painful. It’s the wisdom to sacrifice what is, for what can be, even if there’s a time of freefall, when you’re face-to-face with the void. A great deal of faith gets you through, and your own legendary ability to persevere!

Impeccable

It’s not a word you hear much, but a natural trait of Capricorn — impeccability. 2012 calls for total honesty with yourself and others. Any shady areas, where you’re tempted to control or manipulate others, has devastating consequences. You confront the roots of a need to control, and gain freedom in that. Others trust you and want to follow your lead, when they sense you’re aligned with a higher principle.

Capricorn is a sign of ethical standards, and to live with integrity, at times, can feel radical. But this is how you blaze a trail, and inspire others to set a new standard in business, relationships and productivity.

Capricorn the constellation is associated with the horn of plenty or cornucopia. By being true to your own values, you steadily create abundance in 2012. By sweeping the cobwebs out, and whittling off the excess, you discover inner treasures that make you come alive. You feel that direct sensual joy of life, which has a renewing effect. Indulge that call with embodiment practices — massage, spa visits, planting in nature, gardening and delights of the senses.

Boundaries

In 2012, you gain greater understanding of hidden dimensions of human behavior. It can be a year of profound intimacy, as you confront any need to hold on to the familiar. External circumstances may rip what you think you need, from your cold “dead” hands. By dying to what was, you find that you’re still alive! This is the gift of Pluto in your Zodiac sign. You face your own night terrors, of losing it all, only to realize you still have yourself.

The presence of Pluto and Saturn’s entry into Pluto-ruled Scorpio sets you up for mastery of deep and soulful relationships. The fires of Pluto are intense and purifying. There can be times of confrontation, when you or your beloved friend or lover draws boundaries.

It’s a time when relationships can feel like a life and death matter. This can lead to abrupt endings and bad breakups with a lot of psychic confusion. There’s also the chance for rare trust, and deepening commitment, as you bravely explore the dark places of the psyche together. In friendship and love, there can be risks of closeness that are profoundly healing.

Springing and Rooting

Spring is a time to jump chasms, and you’re ready, having built up to the moment. Lucky Jupiter is trine to Pluto in your sign once again in Spring, steadying the firmament of what you’ve been creating. You flourish and emerge strong, as all of nature comes alive, having rooted yourself in only the most fertile soil.

A leap could be to establish a business, or invest in a growing network of collaborators. It’s time to get in on the ground floor of a promising venture that is both practical and innovative.

Wisdom of Self-Love

There’s an element of trial and error that shouts out not to be too hard on yourself in 2012. Be compassionate with your own faults, as they can be magnified in times of extreme instability. It’s an experimental time through 2015, when there’s a lot of raw energy and shifting real-world conditions. There can be much out of your control, as you take instinctual action in the moment.

The Hopis prophesied that some would feel torn apart in this time. The ripping apart aspect of the Uranus-Pluto square, and other influences in 2012, bring out deeply compulsive behaviors. This could take you by surprise, but is a sign of being cracked open, where new seeds of growth can be found.

By facing core fears, you come away with a kind of warrior fearlessness. Courageous self-awareness leads to powerful integrity that’s a strong base to build on. Others sense this in your character, and treat you with respect. Yours is a sign of self-mastery and the raw material of the psyche and soul is your medium.

Get used to surrendering control, and opening to what’s hidden, as your ruler Saturn goes into Scorpio (early October). You may be drawn to ancient mysteries, tantra, soul-retrieval and other rich metaphysical goodies. As a cardinal earth sign, there’s also much to explore via Earth’s energy, by visiting sacred places, encounters with elementals or nature spirits, or reading the Akashic records. You find the power you seek, by aligning with the intelligence of Gaia, as she alters her resonance. Being attuned to animals, supernatural signs from nature, and the rhythm of the seasons (or the Moon), you find your footing.

A key to staying healthy is keeping your emotional waters moving, so you don’t freeze or feel cut off from your own underground reserves. Spend time near the ocean and rivers, and take time to defrost in the intimacy of your bath. A commitment to yourself, to make space for relaxation and self-nurturing in 2012, sets in a habit of circular time, that’s in synch with this time of no time. It puts you into a rhythm that’s sustainable.

The North Node in Aquarius is taking flight and guiding humanity to a better future. Leaving behind the kingdoms that built empires and enslaved masses, they’re now able to see the golden nugget in all people, all walks of life, and they want to aid in their progress, seeing to it that every individual gets a fair share of life’s substance.

A new kind of love. Having learned fully everything there is to know about personal love and romance, the NN Aquarians are entering a new dimension of love in the mind, not based on the excitement others can provide, the sexual pleasures, the heartaches and swells, the dramatic goings and comings…. but on a more detached love of people in general, and concern for their well-being above all. The roller coaster thrills are over, and a steady, constant, genuine liking of others is on deck.

Friendship. When the dependent, sometimes cloying form of love is curtailed, The Aquarian NNs are delighted to find all kinds of people interested in many of the same things they are. The new distance developing and the mental intercourse emerging, allow growth of independence and an ability to offer freedom, without the feeling of rejection at partings. They know the coming together will always be ahead with someone. People are now being liked for who they are, and not what they can do for them. Many grow to enjoy the end of the one against another games, always being the main object of everyone’s desires, and realize the pleasure of group cooperation. The demand for full and immediate attention can be relinquished. People doing their own separate things, even, but enjoying the company. No longer having to be the life of the party, they know now that life, itself, is the party.Trust. These NN people are learning abdication of the Leo will and confidence in the flow of events, leaving the sequence to circumstance, knowing things will automatically work to their benefit, especially when others are included in the reward. They are coming to accept unexpected events as natural.

Wishes and the genie. Aquarius is the sign of fulfillment of wishes, and these natives are able not only to actualize these visions, but to help their fellows achieve their futuristic goals. It’s interesting that the singular of “genie”, the magic holder of the lamp of our desires, is “genius”, a concept associated with Aquarius as well.

Intellect and brilliance. The natives with this Uranian spark are here to develop the full potential of their minds, being gifted with an exceptional intelligence and awareness, once the attachment to excessive passion and personal drama is released. In place of heated emotion and visceral entanglement, a detached perspective is developing and a pursuit of shared interests in the mental realm. The light bulb of insight is theirs to use forever when they trust their intellects and grow to love the power of the mind. They discover that these interests are far from boring and dry, people are fascinating from a slight distance, and a new kind of self-esteem is blossoming, based on self containment, observation, and objective reasoning. Genius is a possibility.Fire to air. The NN Aquarians are coming from the heat and ecstatic involvement, sometimes self-immolation of fire, to the cooler, less emotional element of air. The urge to burn everything in the path gives way to a dissemination of ideas, and an interest in the use of breath to communicate, rather that fan the flames.

Credit. By far, one of the best traits of these nodal natives, is the ability to bring out the talent and creativity of others. No longer needing to grasp all the credit, they now desire gold stars for all involved in the success of endeavors, especially when they loosen the need to dominate, and wholeheartedly encourage the use of everyone’s abilities. They know the best result will come from this group participation. Having already mastered the lessons of self confidence, they leap at seeing the potential in others, and want to facilitate its development.

Idealism, altruism, freedom, and evolution. Aquarian NNs are here to lead people into better political relationships with one another, whether they are formally active in government and social services or not. Their understanding of group dynamics serves this goal on any level. They know the ideal of unselfish interaction, and instinctively recognize the need for personal freedom and autonomy for all citizens. Love of people and society, and a true desire for their welfare, are the most developed of all planetary placements, in the Aquarius North Node.The Aquarius NNs are bringing their royal experience and self significance to the world, without judgement or prejudice, imparting confidence to each member of society no matter how large or small the circle. Revealing to all the solar centers within themselves.
