Pluto's recent demotion from a planet to a dwarf planet by the International Astronomical Union indicates a major shift in our collective perspective.

Pluto guards our fears and hidden agendas. Our scientific community has inadvertently reduced that influence by reducing Pluto's status. But can our fears, which Pluto so ably guards, go away? 

Look at our current situation. Tremendous fear resonates with war, threats of nuclear armament, and bottles of exploding body lotion on airplanes. Then there are the dire prophecies of the Bible, Nostradamus, the end of the Mayan calendar, and Al Gore's Inconvenient Truth, and we're shaking in our shoes! 

Yet a look ahead to the cosmology of 2008, and into our hearts, tells us we don't want that. We're very ready to reject the fear state. Coming to a consciousness near you is the peaceful impulse to live simply. We have a collective intention that is growing stronger by the day, and that is to be rid of our collective fears and phobias.

Pluto is now near the Galactic Center. The Galactic Center is a black hole with an incredible gravitational pull. Pluto has flirted with his very life by lingering near it. He's almost disappeared! Perhaps our fears too, will do the same.

The symbolic power of Pluto's demotion cannot be understated. And neither can the inclusion of UB 313, Pluto's moon Charon, and Ceres, as officially recognized dwarf planets in our solar system. This is just the beginning of the expansion of our cosmic view. 

These major shifts in our cosmic consciousness have not occurred in a vacuum. 

The on-going opposition between Saturn, planet of structure, and Neptune, the planet of illusion, who works by dissolving all it touches, is partly responsible for this re-alignment of what we perceive to be fact. Our cosmos isn't what we thought it was, and neither is Pluto! 

Imagine what else we can re-name and discover now.
