A Full Moon, Marianne Williamson and the Politics of Change

I missed my blog last week - it was one of those weeks, you know what I mean?  We all have them. We question where we are and if this is the right path. Let me take you back a few steps to explain. I recently got back into radio/tv as a host. Prior to this, I was working as a producer and director for years (indie films and reality TV) which contrary to popular belief is NOT that glamorous or financialy rewarding). Getting back to where my natural gifts shine (as an on-air talent, reporter, news anchor, television and radio host) at my age scared the shit out of me. And sometimes, like last week, I have major doubts. My major fear is that people won't get behind me, but really - deeper behind that fear is this little even more insidious fear - a little gremlin, saying "are you worth it." Astrology and spirituality are my pathway to me, they allow me to dig deeper into who i am so i can uncover this and share it with you. These past two weeks for me I've had a major push to excavate - to get to the core of what blocks me. The beauty of this weeks full moon,  for everyone, is the efforts of the past two weeks work, whatever you've done, will be revealed. As I have just revealed mine to you, you will be blown away from the discoveries of this week as well, and the change that is in store for all of us in the next year, will also be slightly revealed this week.

The full moon always represents the balance of the masculine and feminine principles. This week's full moon in Gemini, represents this is the world of communication. As both Sagittarius and Gemini have a thirst for knowledge, the moon in Gemini looks for variety, while the Sun in Sagittarius has to have a deeper meaning. This week its all about the balance that you find between the information you seek and what you can achieve with that information, or how can the information you seek help the you, your family, the world. The full moon is just one of our power players this week as Uranus and Mars square Pluto. Uranus, the innovator goes direct, meaning our need to make changes becomes more focused. Mars, the planet of aggression squaring Pluto the planet of change and transformation, guarantees we will see change more than we ever have before in 2014. And with the cluster of planets in business oriented Capricorn and The Sun about to enter Cap on the 21st. This Christmas and New Years, will be slightly sentimental to begin with, then by next week everyone is taking off the rose colored glasses and putting on the business suit.

Change is indeed in the drivers seat this holiday season and, and in the New Year. As I've said before in my blog and on my radio show,  women will be raising their voices louder than ever before, to be heard in the board rooms, and corporations across America. In the gleaming tall building on Wall Street and the prestigious steps of the Senate and The House of Representatives. Women will emerge as leaders in business like never before. I see it in the posts on Facebook and videos like this :60 spot on Upworthy, even the latest news reports on ABC news. This blew me away.


Women are truly seeing for the first time, just how suppressed and mistreated they have been and for the first time we are throwing open the window, like Peter Finch's character in the film Network, screaming; "I'm mad as hell and I'm not gonna take it anymore".



And we should be, when the government spends more money on the military than feeding the starving children in the country, we should be. When corporations corrupt our food supply with GMO's we should be. When the Government is spying on us, when they allow domestic use of nuclear weapons, when the consistent and persistent inequality of income threatens the very existence of so many people in the country, we should be.

This is why women will dominate 2014, our system is out of balance. One of those women leading this change is best-selling author, speaker, and spiritual leader, Marianne Williamson. Marianne is officially running for Congress in California and will be our guest this Tuesday to discuss her vision and I cannot be more excited and humbled by her presence.

Now, I am a Course in Miracles devotee, I spend as many Monday nights at Marianne's Lectures in LA as I can, and those of us that go to these lectures, knew this campaign was inevitable. Even though Monday nights were devoted to A Course In Miracles, you could hear her passion each week when she spoke about current events and the politics behind them.  I'm always moved by her authentic perspective which stays with me through out my days. I follow her on Facebook and read her posts diligently. I'm moved and inspired regularly. My observation and experiance is she speaks and writes from a place of love and deep concern that we as a world, culture and community are moving away from love and living and making choices out of fear. She has written about how we as individuals can move from fear to love when we are present daily and make conscience choices which will shift consciousness throughout the world.

Welcoming Marianne Williamson THIS Tuesday, Dec. 17 will be a personal and career highlight for me and my co-host Rachel Lang. We hope you will join our discussion by asking questions in the chat room during the LIVE show. I do believe it is time for a change in our countries politics and a time for women to emerge to balance out the leadership. Just like a full moon brings balance to the Earth, it is our job as women to bring that balance to our country. It's not just up to the men, it's up to us to join them in equal balance in the workplace, side by side to bring a new compassionate culture to the world. It is time that we embark on a new course for a new year, to create anew.

Please tune-in to my show LIVE Tuesdays and Thursday 11am/PST, 2 pm/EST on ubnradio.com. Or my archived shows are available on my website, anytime at MichellePollino.com & PurePollino.com.

We look forward to your presence on the show and in the chat room.

The Sagittarius New Moon-He's A Magic Man Momma!

Are you ready for it? What, you ask, well today, I say. Today's new moon in Sagittarius in particular will open so many new doors to transformation. This new moon is most likely the best one we will have for transformation possibilities all year! There are many reasons for that which I will get into in a few moments but first I want to explain how this next week can radically change some parts of yourself that you've been wanting to change for quite some time, and how women are changing the course of history.

I grew up with house full of Sag's and Scorpios' so for me my life was filled with fun and some responsibility, (damn Scorpios) but that responsibility was there to honor our lessons and to provide the grounding for that Sagittarius play that always leads to finding your greatest gift. What Sagittarius teaches us is that when we play we open doors to our creative gifts and in turn we give back to the universe, organically. It teaches us that our gifts are indeed needed and wanted by this universe and are essential for it's growth. Think about it, when was the last time you really had fun and what about that moment in you, did you feel the happiest? It was most likely when you were sharing something of yourself, or that you've created, it was when you were deep in your truth!

This week's new moon (Sun and Moon In Sag) makes a positive connection with Uranus (rebellion-unique gifts), this will be especially good for Aquarius within 6 degrees of 11 degrees of Aquarius. This will provide some amazing insight, a blot of pure genius I like to call this, because it will also transform you! Because Uranus is in Aries, it will stimulate us to take more risks with that thought, take it to the next level!

Uranus and Pluto still squaring off signaling revolution within and in our outside world, just look at our political system! There is a new dawn emerging, one where women will become more visible and respected leaders around the world, as Venus stuck in Capricorn in retrograde goes back and forth with Pluto, transforming a mostly patriarchal society into a more balanced place for all to live. And of course, Jupiter in Cancer in a very supportive aspect to Saturn in Scorpio, and Mars going into Libra, this is the time for women to step up to the plate and hit it out of the ballpark! More on this on December 10 when I will have Marianne Williamson on as a guest (THRILLLED)

Join us Tuesday December 3, 11 am pst/2 om est on Pure Pollino as we delve into everything i talk about here with much more detail and we take your calls and check into the chat room for more questions about your specific chart!

I am putting this video up for 2 reasons...1. I love me some Heart, and 2. These women lead an all male band and were one of the first truly integrated bands in the late 70's to write their own music, sing and produce their own music. They were pioneers in the industry that was male-dominated and I love this song because it symbolizes the magic of this new moon!



So this week, I am daring you, no I am double daring you -  do the thing you love this week, with complete abandon, no little voices in your head, just do it and see what happens, this is the kind of new moon that begs for it! Each sign is affected by this new moon so take advantage of this energy of transformation, magic and fun!
