December16

Tiffany Fairfax
It’s the end of the year and the war is
over. 2016 has been a yearlong brutal political
battle for the presidency.
I had predicted the winning party from
the get-go based on my astrological formula,
but even I have to admit I had my
doubts. Now I am totally validated knowing
for sure that Astrology doesn’t lie.
Pollsters, pundits, media propagandists
will fabricate and fudge, but the science of
Astrology is spot on.
A new season begins. December is known
for its Winter Solstice, the beginning of the
winter season when the Sun reaches 0°
Capricorn very early on the morning of the
21 st . That’s the shortest day of the year with
the least amount of daylight.
Luckily, the holiday lights and decorations
will add brightness to the darkness.
This year, Hanukkah begins the same
day as Christmas – a double holiday. The
25 th is a very interesting day from an astrological
point of view because Venus, the
planet of money, love, beauty and desire
makes very favorable aspects to Jupiter,
Uranus and Saturn.
The day looks merry, jubilant, surprising
and top notch. Santa is bringing some
luxurious presents with the Venus/Jupiter
trine.
Foods also look rich and indulgent with
stately presentations. A very bountiful,
beautiful holiday it promises to be.
However, with all of this celebration and
festivity, there is one little kink: Mercury is
Retrograde! This last Mercury Rx of 2016
Cosmic Jackpot
Time to Celebrate!
falls during our holidays.
It begins on the 19 th and extends into the
New Year to January 8, 2017. Mercury Rx is
déjà vu all over again.
“Haven’t I already done this?” is the
question we ask ourselves. Apparently not,
or it wouldn’t resurface. Repeat...re-do…
resolve! It will happen again during the
retrograde period.
The New Moon on the 28 th at 7° Capricorn
plants the seed for the coming month
of work, responsibility and achievement.
Emotions are more serious and playfulness
comes to an abrupt halt.
As the month ends, the impending new
year nudges us to make sensible resolutions.
2017 is only a few days away and the
party is practically over.
Except, there’s a last burst of energy:
Uranus, the planet of surprises, individuality,
independence and brilliance turns Direct
to forge a pathway for personal genius
and uniqueness in the coming year. There
is always a silver lining!
Happy Holidays and a Very Happy New
Year to All.
P.S. Do you remember (when I wrote the
February column) that 2016 is the Year of
the Monkey? I said, “The Monkey likes to
play tricks on us.”
That certainly was the case this year. A
lot of monkey business going on. The good
news - it ends on Jan 28 th when the Year of
the Rooster takes over.
Until then, I’m ready for a long winter’s
nap. Wake me when the rooster crows.

The Fractal Phenomenon
“The Universe is built on a
plan, the profound symmetry
of which is somehow present
in the inner structure of
our intellect.” Paul Valery
Fascinating, intriguing,
thought provoking, profound
and infinitely complex its discovery
is a phenomenon that
has significantly impacted our
perception on many different
levels of our existence. Yet,
brow-raising is not a response
you’ll get when mentioning
the word.
That’s because, most people
don’t know of its existence, or,
how much of an intricate part
it plays in every realm of our
existence; geometry, art, consciousness, nature
and even the Universe itself.
When, mathematician Benoit Mandlebrot
discovered, and coined the name fractal
in 1975, the mathematical community
snubbed him. However, it didn’t take them
long to figure out how wrong they were.
They found that Fractal geometry is unparalleled
at measuring and modeling the
world of natural phenomena. “It seems to be
true,” said one scientist, “since nature continually
follows this form.”
Simply put, fractals are a mathematic
structure generated by a geometric sequence
that is reproduced over and over again to
create intricate large, small, and eventually
even microcosmic sized replicas of the same,
infinitely. Much like the ripples from a stone
thrown into a pond, the ripples continue beyond
our perception.
Fractals confirm Einstein’s theory: “If
there is one of anything, then, there are infinite
amounts of the same.”
Fractal means a never ending pattern.
Since numbers are everywhere, everything
is a part of a pattern which is reflections of
reflections, wheels within wheels. Life itself is
a Fractal.
Based on this principle it makes sense, because
we can witness it in every aspect of our
reality. In nature we see fractals over and over
again, showing up in many different ways,
clouds, butterflies, snowflakes, broccoli, animal
furs’ colors and markings, trees, etc.
Once we realize that everything is made
up of a series of numbers, we can recognize
how intricately fractal affects everything we
know. Therefore, it is a crucial part of our
evolution when we understand how it affects
consciousness. Otherwise, as the saying goes,
“history repeats itself.”
Everything in this universe comes
equipped with its very own echo of the originating
pattern - a Unit of Consciousness.
Units of Consciousness make decisions on
behalf of the material to which they are attached.
In consciousness, we see the same patterns
repeat themselves. We all have experienced
those annoying reoccurring thoughts and
repeat the same good and not so good actions.
Each and every conscious observation is a
microcosmic butterfly effect that has macro
cosmic consequences. A fractal brain begets
a fractal consciousness begets a fractal cosmology.
Conscious observation is a water drop
interpretation of an infinite wave. Without
conscious observation, there is merely an infinite
wave function with only the potential
to be collapsed into an objective reality.
The good news is that we do have some
control. By changing our thoughts, we can
change our vibration, ourselves, and even
our world. I wish us all good thoughts for a
wonder-filled new year.
