 This is Think Tech Hawaii, Community Matters here. Happy yellow half Friday and welcome to Perspectives on Global Justice, Think Tech Hawaii program. This is your host Beatrice Cantelmo. What is the link between all seven billion human beings on earth? Suddenly it's not the anger, the hatred, socio-economic disparities, intolerance in all of the violence and conflicts there is seeing so many countries nowadays. This morning the United States National Guard started deploying 10,000 soldiers to Europe and the Middle East and just a few days ago tensions between the U.S. and North Korea grew and we are now at risk of entering an unnecessary new war. Conflicts in Venezuela, Brazil, Israel, Russia and NATO are not much better either. What kind of future should we expect? Peaceful solutions, not aggression, is what walks under dire circumstances. We can and should be able to walk to calm the eagles of those in power and spare the lives of innocent people. In the 21st century, dialogue must and should be our main tool to promote understanding, compassion and to relieve suffering. Today, we have a very special guest. Suzette Floriani is a Brazilian national who studies astrology. She studies the positions of relationships between the sun, the moon, the stars and planets in order to analyze their influence on human actions. I asked her to do an astrological map of the world as it is today. She did and her findings are quite revealing. And this is what she said. In this year, the challenge is quite individual in nature but also as a society we have a strong collective in a spiritual conscious calling. Those who operate from an individual mode will feel very confused and won't be able to fit or to get along too well in today's world. Spiritual and collective understanding are key tools that must be present in today's lives and without humility and without not having fear to seek new ways to walk in today's world. We must have to have that present if we want to thrive as humans. And diplomacy, communication and optimism are the paths for peace. But there are many confused egos that impact our leaders and they are making radical decisions that are not taking into account the needs of the collective well-being of people that they serve and of this planet as well. We have a few tools to influence our current leaders so that we can lead from a place of harmony and real strength. That's what she said. And when I heard that I said, wow, you can see all of that from looking at an astrological map of the earth and she said, yes, well, tell us more and that's why she's here. And today we're going to have a slightly different show. It's going to be done in Portuguese and English because Suzette is visiting us from Brazil. So on that note, welcome to our program, Suzette. Suzette, thank you for being there on our social. You're very welcome. So, Suzette, tell us a little bit about your background with being an astrologer. Suzette, tell us a little bit about your experience as an astrologer. Astrology was a path of self-knowledge and awakening of my individual consciousness. She says that astrology was a path that she have found for self-knowledge and also a collective understanding of how the earth works. And with this knowledge she was able to have a better understanding of people's individual characteristic traits and also personalities and how it works together. And she said it's very important to have this individual understanding of people's personalities and what may influence their behaviors because we live in collective society and as such it is very important to be able to have that balance to be able to thrive in a more just world. And this individual understanding is very key for us to be able to be better participants collectively in making this contribution where we can live in a world with more harmony and more compassion. And so this is definitely in her perspective a very individual responsibility of self-awareness and reflection and understanding but that individual strength and self-awareness then works collectively so that we can have a world with more peace and more harmony. So, Suzette, I asked you to make a map of the world for us to have an idea of what is happening. So if you could help our participants understand a little bit of this map it would be great. So, Suzette, I have asked you for a favor which was to draw an astrological map of the world of this year to kind of get a glimpse of what's happening. So, do you mind actually showing your findings and explaining how astrology in the map works? And can we see the map please? There you go. So this is the map of our world, this year, so this is the astrological map of the world this year. So, explain it to us. The year, the new year is an event. It's a cosmic event, it's a macrocosmic event that has effects in the microcosm or within the countries, within the localities. And I'm going to interject so I can translate a little bit to be able to translate. So, she said that every new year when you look at an astrological map that the energies that are coming from the microcosm will impact the earth and subsequently the countries. And so, the influence of the microcosm will have influence in people's lives and happenings, like in people's behaviors. And also will be reflected in different countries in its very telling in part of what we are going through this year. This year is a year with many challenges. Yes, because it's a year of spiritual point of view, a year of great transition. So, from a spiritual standpoint in astrological energy, it's a year of big transitions. And so, it's very important that people become more cognizant of this energy shift that's happening in also ways to connect differently. So, actually, when you say that this is a year of big transitions in spiritual shifts, what do you mean by that? So, when you explain that this is a year of great spiritual transition and that many changes are happening, what do you mean by that? It's that the language of astrology is very symbolic, but it shows us through this planetary movement, this movement of the astros, events that are taking place. And so, she said that in astrology the symbols are quite subtle, but each symbol in the map shows influences that impact our countries and people's behaviors as well. So, for example, we are going through many problems where many countries are in conflict, many leaders are affected. And how do you see this through the field of astrology? So, the question that I asked society was that this seems to be a year where there's a lot of conflicts in many countries. And there's something that's been brewing for quite a while. And also, we have many leaders that are really out of control and things are really quite tense in many places. So, my question to her was how does she feel that from an astrological standpoint? How can she explain what's happening from that perspective? So, her answer was that obviously that there is a need not only for the leaders, but for everyone in our constituent to be more conscious about decision-making and behaviors and how that's impacting local politics, local lives, and also at a micro level how it's impacting global issues as well. So, part of what she brought up is that it's kind of harder to not only be pessimistic in light of all that's happening, but it is very crucial that optimism be part of that. So, part of what she brought up is that it's kind of harder to not be pessimistic in light of all that's happening, but it is very crucial that optimism be brought up as part of this new shift so that we can actually reach different outcomes for what we're going through. So, my question was in times where there are so many conflicts and democracy under scrutiny and so many social injustices, many people are quite angry and rightly so, and so there are many protests and a lot of uncertainty, a lot of anxiety, a lot of insecurity. So, my question to her was in light of all of that, what can we do collectively to be able to positively help shift issues that we're going through right now? So, in terms of radical attitudes, they're not going to solve it, they're not going to make it easier to understand what's going on, because since it's a more subtle process that's going on, it's something more subjective, if there's no more essential or more genuine understanding of a human process, it's going to be difficult to understand this current moment and get out of this crisis. So, in order to get out of this world crisis, it's hard, it's very counterintuitive to actually take a step back and all take radical measures, but that's exactly what we need to do in our perspective. It is important that we remain focused and that we be objective about what is it that we want to shift, but not from the same place of despair and anger and a disarray that we are seeing in today's world. So, we're going to take a quick break and we're going to come back. I'm Richard Concepcion, the host of Hispanic Hawaii. You can watch my show every other Tuesday at 2 p.m. We will bring you entertainment, educational, and also we'll tell you what is happening right here within our community. Think Tech Hawaii, Aloha. It's from The Foundation for a Better Life. Welcome back to Perspectives on Global Justice. Think Tech Hawaii program. This is your host, Beatrice Contelvo, and I'm here with our beautiful guest, Sausage Floriani. So, we are going to actually kind of take a quick look at our world astrological map for this year. And Sausage is going to spend some time explaining some of what she talked in the first part of the program. How does she arrive at these interpretations based on all of the beautiful symbols that look like, you know, a foreign language to anyone who does not understand astrology, but she will help us understand a little bit better. I was explaining to our audience that part of the interpretations that you did in the first part of our program was based on the reading of the map and the symbols and where they are at home. There is a whole connection and it is a foreign language for all of us who do not understand astrology that you are going to help us understand a little bit. So, let's see the map again. So, go ahead. It is a symbolic language. So, this is a symbolic language? Yes. When we look at the map, there is a larger concentration of information in the last astrological house, which is House 12. So, when we look at the map, there is a large concentration of symbols on the last house, which is the House 12. So, this is a house where there is a lot of spiritual openness and conscious awareness and changes. So, this is a house that from a spiritual perspective in terms of collective humanity work, that we must seek a shift and a different way to relate to one another. Because we need to work with understanding, acceptance and forgiveness. And so, a big part of our readings is that the challenge that we have reflected in some of the problems that we have in today's world have to do, that we have to connect with the beta understanding and also some forgiveness and reparations need to occur in order for this shift to happen. And so, there is a lot of a large concentration of several planets in areas assigned, which is the fast astrological energy of the map. So, that is the energy that invites us to take stands and have attitudes that will have to take place in order for these changes to happen. We must be active participants in this shift, but not to rely on radical action and radical changes. So, this is in the map, she reads that this is very open to a lot more creativity on how we view problems and solutions, especially solutions, and that we can do it collectively and must be done collectively. Because it is a new and very inspiring moment for those who decide to act, to participate. All these people have the courage and resources for this. So, in that perspective, in her readings, she feels that even the challenges that we are faced with can be also viewed as catalysts and as ways to inspire us to work together because to those who have the courage and will dare to work from that place of collective action, many good things could happen. Can we go back still to the, thank you. There is a lot of strength available to build a solid base, to work with will and with these creative inspirations that are coming. So, according to the World Map, there is a lot of strength and a lot of resources available, not only in terms of energy, but also in terms of human resources so that we can create or recreate a much stronger roots to have societies that will reflect more harmony and more balance in the piece that we need. So, being more participant but also using diplomacy and separating the selfish way or more individualistic ways of viewing problems is the way to go. So, looking at the map, the line that goes from House 12 to House 7 shows that there is a big calling for harmony and for balance. And that there is a big possibility for that shift to happen for more harmony to be achieved if we walk relentless from a place of diplomacy, collective action and also with faith that this can be accomplished. Being relentless, I guess, in that belief. So, she sees that the bridge to achieve that has to be with individual but also mutual, collective boundaries and respect and more equity in terms of justice so that we can shift the imbalances that we have today to more harmony. So, you can see everything with these symbols and the map. How does this work? So, to her perspective, this is a very logic language for the astrologers, obviously who understand this language, and that once you learn to interpret the signs and what does it mean, it makes a lot of sense. So, the question I asked Suzette was what kind of tips she could give to a person who individually would say, I'm just one person, how can I possibly impact any kind of change or influence in my community, be it in Hawaii or in the United States or globally and also even to our current leaders, what can I possibly do looking it from the perspective of peace and harmony. And so, Suzette said that in order to create any collective change or influence, that we must be grounded within ourselves fast and that we need to look within and we need to work with things that are not in alignment with ourselves and strengthening those bases that we just talked about in the program today and believe that there is a power out there that is looking after all of us and believing in ourselves and our collective energy and ability to co-create the changes that we so much need. I don't believe that the show is over, it was so fast. I can't believe how quickly the show went by. I would like to thank you very much for coming here and giving us a little taste for our participants and to understand a little bit of how the art of astrology works and I would like to invite you to come back several times to explain how things are evolving. So I just told Suzette how thankful I am for having her here today and to give our viewers a little touch, like a little taste, a little glimpse of how astrology works as an art form and also as a tool to be able to help us or make sense, better sense of what's happening in today's world and with ourselves. I also invited her to come back many times to give continuity to the work that she does and to show that to our viewers so that we can have that perspective on global justice as well from an astrological standpoint. So on that note, that concludes our Think Tech Hawaii Perspectives on Global Justice program today and I look forward to seeing you next Friday. Thank you.
