No matter how stubborn or locked in, if the goal is important enough, the job gets done. Let’s commend Chief Theresa Spence for getting as far as she has. Could/would you have done it? While we’re giving shout-outs, let’s congratulate the NHL and the players’ association for not letting the clock run out on their profit margins or their fans.

If you haven’t been able to put such formidable commitment into action yet, look to Friday’s new moon in Capricorn to put the key in the ignition. Stephen Harper has chosen an appropriate day to get down to business with Spence and other aboriginal leaders. Aim to do the same for yourself. Like the ice in the Arctic, time is disappearing quickly. Don’t let any more of it pass you by. On the plus side, when the Capricorn archetype is effectively employed, substantial results are gained.

It’s taken a long time to get this far along, but we’re about to hit full throttle. Saturday/Sunday, the Aquarius moon aligned with Mars is in the mood to wake it or shake it. Venus stimulating Uranus keeps things lively and percolating, especially on Saturday evening. Monday/Tuesday, the Pisces moon keeps the creativity and easy flow going strong. By Wednesday, the Aries moon heats things up again.
