Al Gore's acceptance speech for the 2007 Nobel Peace Prize is a perfect example of the Sagittarius New Moon for December, 2007 cradled within a stellium.

Mahatma Gandhi awakened the largest democracy on earth and forged a shared resolve with what he called "Satyagraha" - or "truth force."

In every land, the truth - once known - has the power to set us free.

Truth also has the power to unite us and bridge the distance between "me" and "we," creating the basis for common effort and shared responsibility.

For those of us who make resolutions at the time of New Moon, now would be the ideal time to point oneself in the direction of working to address the most important issue of the day, climate change.
