Our Fathers and Mothers Grave; Zianna Oliphant and Kamala Harris

Recently, a nine year old girl, Zianna Oliphant, spoke at the Charlotte City Council explaining how she felt about the recent shooting of a black man in her hometown.  Children should not be afraid of not being treated fairly by their own law enforcement officials.  Children should not have to speak, nor should adults have to protest, in order to be heard or given equal rights.

Law enforcement officials hold a special place in society.  Their duties are to serve and protect the public.  Whether that public is black or white, poor or rich, the duties of the officers placed in those positions are the same.  While there are many officers who hold their positions in fair and just ways, there are others that continually abuse their positions.  This has led the public to feel distrustful of the men and women who have taken their oaths in office.

When I saw this little girls video, I, like many people, was moved to tears.  The strength and courage for a nine year old girl to stand in a room full of adults and speak the words from her heart, knowing that the people in her city were fearful of many of the same people she was speaking to, was enormous.  Someone very wise once said, that it is our children who will begin to heal the world.  It takes the heart and innocence of a child to not only express their most inner feelings, but to touch the hearts of the people around them.

This time that we currently live in, is an ever changing landscape, formed by the actions and decisions that all of us have made yesterday.  If our tomorrow is to become any different, we must stand up, all of us, and act today in a way and manner that allows for a better tomorrow.

I'd like to thank Zianna, not only for her courage, but for her words which were spoken on behalf of the many people who feel the same way she does.  For the spirit that moved her to stand up and be heard.

While many people have commented on this little girls actions, I couldn't help but notice that a comment was made by the attorney general from the state of California.  Kamala Harris was quoted in an article written by the BBC as saying:

"It's impossible to watch this speech without having your heart break. Zianna, you are so brave for speaking up."

Kamala Harris has specific duties as the attorney general.  Among those duties, she is responsible to see "that the laws of the State are uniformly and adequately enforced" and "prosecute violations of state law through the California Department of Justice and participate in criminal investigations".  

I found it very unsettling that a woman in her position would comment on this little girls actions, when she herself was not upholding her duties as attorney general.  When I wrote to Ms. Harris last year regarding the cover up of the murder of Michael Jackson, I received a reply which said "the decision rests with the locally elected official responsible for such a decision, the district attorney."

The district attorney, however, in this case was part of the problem, as I well stated in my correspondence with her.  Perhaps it should be more well known that the state of California has had a continuous problem with their "elected officials".  There have been many prosecutions of innocent people, evidence that has been tampered with and single mothers who have had their child support withheld.  These are the actions of the District Attorney.

When a district attorney withholds evidence, such as life insurance policies, contracts, testimony and investigations into people who have publicly stated they want to bring "death and destruction" to an individual who has been murdered, the fact that the district attorney is not acting in his official capacity is made abundantly clear.  If the evidence that was withheld had been brought to light, any jury would have had ample evidence to find a conviction "beyond a reasonable doubt". 

Zianna's statements about losing mothers and fathers and having to visit them at their graves was both heartbreaking and shameful.  But to lose a father or a mother, and then to have the state in which you live in not only neglect their responsibilities as elected officials, but go to such lengths to hide the people responsible for the action is atrocious.  Families provide the love and support our children need to become responsible and confident members of our society.  When children of mothers or fathers who have been killed are not given fair treatment by their governing agencies, it leaves them feeling as Zianna does - afraid to live in their own city, because they know that they will not be treated fairly.

Prince and Paris Jackson, at the young ages of 16 and 14, who had lost their father, were made to testify and/or give depositions for a civil lawsuit that had to be filed, since the locally held officials could not see past their own pocket books to ensure that the people who were responsible for their fathers death were held accountable.  Even in that trial, closure and justice was not served.  The "elected official" even had Mrs. Jackson, Michael's mother, pay the people who were ultimately responsible for her son's death.
The actions of the district attorney and Kamala Harris, the attorney general, have put a huge scar on the face of our society and on the hearts of not only these children and Michael's mother, but on the millions of fans who do know who was responsible.  
The photos I have posted are of families.  Families who love and support one another.  Families, like the one little Zianna belongs to, that are there for their children in their time of need.  Ms. Harris, since you feel you cannot be there in your official capacity for the people of California and in their time of need, perhaps you should turn your official office over to Zianna.



"California attorney-general, and Senate candidate, Kamala Harris also posted the video, saying: "It's impossible to watch this speech without having your heart break. Zianna, you are so brave for speaking up."




"The Attorney General of California is the chief law officer of California and the state's primary legal counsel. The attorney general "[sees] that the laws of the State are uniformly and adequately enforced" and prosecutes violations of state law through the California Department of Justice, which he or she oversees.[1]
The officeholder also represents state agencies and officers in legal matters and provides legal advice on request. Further, the attorney general plays a direct role in law enforcement efforts and "coordinates statewide narcotics enforcement efforts, participates in criminal investigations and provides forensic science services, identification and information services and telecommunication support."[1]

Additionally, attorneys general play a prominent policymaking role by "[establishing] and [operating] projects and programs to protect Californians from fraudulent, unfair, and illegal activities that victimize consumers or threaten public safety." https://ballotpedia.org/Attorney_General_of_California

Concerning God Follow-Up . . .


I am being told I need to be honest.  When my Father, YHWH spoke with me a few months ago, he revealed to me some things which I have no recollection of and some things that will be done.  One thing he spoke to me about was the prophecy of Elijah.

For Michael Jackson fans, you might remember Michael speaking about this prophecy years ago when he embarked upon a project called "Heal the Kids".  I believe the correlation to this passage had to do with healing of our relationships between parents and children.

When I listened to my Father, he said I would fulfill this prophecy.  To this day I still don't know exactly what that entails.

Our previous post revealed the words from my Father.  In this post, I am following up on what has transpired since.

In the words of my Father, he said:

"Do not falter on your part or the legs you have been given will tumble to the ground and your final resurrection will not be in peace but dismay at your willingness to bring destruction to each other and the planet."

The legs of Pope Frances have tumbled to the ground, as you can see in this video:


Perhaps this is a mere coincidence.  I am of the most assured opinion that people will believe what they will.  For me, I am only the messenger.

There have been too many people who have died in vein.  Too many tortured and too many lies put into the minds of the masses.  You must realize that what you are being given in words and knowledge holds in part a deliberate attempt at swaying the opinion of the masses to conceal wrong doings.  In Michael's death, we see it in the press.  Kind words have been spoken by the very people who murdered him in an attempt to hide the truth.  Do not mistake an outwardly kind persona for that which lies hidden to the eyes.  Our true identity is one in which God himself sees, and sees clearly.

If anyone believes they hide their wrong doings from the public and have succeeded, they are mistaken in their understanding of the law.  To hide something from the public, does not mean it is a hidden deed from God.  His sight should be given recognition before all others.

Contempt and deceit have been common place throughout the world.  For ages man has sought to control our nations and our brethren by becoming "the way", the mighty, and the ruler of peoples.
One way in which the people have been discouraged to seek a relationship with God is through the church.  Our priests do not hold a special power beyond our own.  Our future and our savior does not lie within the churches walls.  The relationship that we ourselves have with our Father is the one that matters most.  He and He alone knows your heart and mind.  He and He alone will be the one to deliver you to the place most high.

Our church has been given the authority and seeks the right to bring the people to our Father.  It is not the path of the church to give unto man that which belongs to God himself.  You must not ordain yourselves as a deliverer when you are not.  He that holds the keys to heaven will come to the earth and release all that has been hidden.  Your hearts and minds will be full of love and understanding. For the wisdom revealed will be that of God himself.

Trust not your fellow man, but trust your Father in His glory.  He that comes, comes knowing his Father.  He knows his glory and his kingdom.  Thy will be done.

For the first church:

REVELATIONS
St. John the Divine
Chapter 2

2 "I know thy works and thy labor, and thy patience, and how thou canst not bear them which are evil: and thou hast tried them which say they are apostles, and are not, and hast found them liars:

3  And hast borne, and hast patience, and for my name's sake hast labored, and hast not fainted.

4 Nevertheless I have somewhat against thee, because thou hast left they first love.

5 Remember therefore from whence thou art fallen, and repent, and do the first works; or else I will come unto thee quickly, and remove thy candlestick out of his place, except thou repent."

The Last Supper - Leonardo DaVinci

Regarding the book "The DaVinci Code" - "The book is everywhere," Cardinal Bertone told Il Giornale newspaper, according to a report in The Times today. "There is a very real risk that many people who read it will believe that the fables it contains are true. [Dan Brown] even perverts the story of the holy grail, which most certainly does not refer to the descendants of Mary Magadalene. It astonishes and worries me that so many people believe these lies."

The church has perverted the original teachings of Jesus the Christ and Mary Magdalene.  If it is anyone who has lied, it has been the church which seeks to keep the people under it's control by proclaiming themselves to be the word of God.  Our pope does not take the place of Jesus.  He will speak for himself.  


What has happened to our world since the days of Jesus when he walked the earth?  The very people who killed him took his words and changed them.

When it comes to matters of God, you can't change what you want, when you want because it's popular or works for you at the time.  This misuse of his teachings have left humanity in an unending cycle of birth and rebirth.

The teachings meant to be given were misused.  Heaven is not obtained from living one life.  It is obtained by seeking the Father from the Kingdom within.  It is called ascension and that is what Jesus and Mary Magdalene came to teach.

Do not dismiss the divine feminine.  For without her there will be no ascension.

Concerning God . . .

A few days ago, I was given a message.  When you've lived all of your life seeking the truth of all things and finally find a path, you learn to listen to those who have helped you along your way.

When I was growing up, I searched far and wide for the truth about who and what God was.  Did he exist?  Was he somehow a made up story someone had decided to spread?  And, why were there so many beliefs about this one being who supposedly created us all?

I looked into several religions, not really practicing any.  I've read some passages of the bible, but have yet to read the entire book.  My studies have been based on things I receive from my spirit guides.  Things that they mention or are told to me.  I often look up passages they recite or things they mention on the internet and try to fit the pieces together.

I first heard the voice of God when I was barely the age of twelve.  I was later visited by the mother Mary offering her help for anything I wished.  Since then, I've heard His voice several times and in this past year have been granted the gift of seeing his face.

When I write this I know that while living in the world we do today, not much emphasis is placed on believing in speaking with God.  However, I do take solace in knowing that much of the world still prays to a higher power and far too many believe in the words of the bible not to believe that some of the most treasured scriptures are most certainly true.

Some years back my personal search led me to a book entitled "YHWH".  I had no idea what it was, what the letters stood for or what was inside it's pages.  The only thing I did know is that I had to get it.  The store clerk cautioned me, saying that I would most likely not understand what was written inside unless I started with something simpler.  I refused, somehow knowing I needed to acquire this white book with the golden letters imprinted on it.

A few years later, I came across a woman who wanted me to paint a picture for her.  It was a simple photograph that she gave to me.  A sky with clouds.  Apparently the photo was of a particular place in Ohio where many people gathered to see an apparition appear in the sky - the doorway to heaven.  I tried to tell the woman I didn't paint realistic pictures.  I had been doing mainly abstract paintings using colors and crystals.  She insisted, however, that I try and to paint whatever came to me.

I sat in my basement looking at the photo and it seemed as if the painting almost painted itself.  When I felt I was done, I was astonished to see faces in the cloud interpretation I had painted.  I've posted this picture before, but want to post it again for reference:


At the time, I had no idea what or who this represented.  Maybe a symbolic reference to "God" somehow and perhaps my own interpretation of some door had made its way through.  However, years later when I saw the paintings done by Michelangelo and discovered that "YHWH" was actually a name for God, it became clear to me that the painting was more than what I had once thought.

Today this painting represents the YHWH God I have seen and spoken to.  The streaks of light coming from his nostrils represent the creation of man and the man in the front represents Jesus who I've also seen and spoken to, coming again into our world.

Recently I ran into another account of an apparition in the clouds.  This account was captured on film by a woman in New Zealand.  The face she captured was the same: 


By DION DASSANAYAKE
PUBLISHED: 20:51, Mon, Jan 20, 2014

When I spoke with YHWH some time ago, time seemed to be completely irrelevant.  He said a great deal of things to me I found difficult to digest for some time.  I was also shown events that would happen in the future.  Today I remember only a few key elements of that seemingly long conversation.

He spoke as if these things would be.  There was no questions he asked, only statements and I could hardly believe that this image of the face I painted so many years ago was really before me.

Part of my personal path has been to serve in any capacity that I can for those who have helped me on my path in life.  I am sometimes a conduit for information that comes through. I believe that I'm given some information not only for myself, but for others as well.  When spirit comes through strongly, I find it difficult not to write the words and give them freely.  So I'd like to share with you what I received from YHWH a few days ago:

"I am a living God.  Stand before me without shame in your nakedness.  Nothing is hidden in the sight of God.  

God YHWH stands before you, three in one; over the suns, the moons and all of creation.

I Am the force that moves the trees, the winds, the oceans and the hands of time.
I beckon to you to come to the place hidden in your heart.  A place that has been prepared by me long ago.  Withstanding all temptation to see life as a different journey and seeking that which is your true destiny.

The word of God has been proclaimed.  All that hear this, hear my voice.  The world will not be destroyed by man.  It will lie in the hands of the father God ruling all lands, all seas, all marine life and all wickedness will come to an end.

For many ages I have given the freedom to man to do his will. All people must come to realize the word of God.  It is not I that seek Glory, but that of the living word and life of being with me.

Come children of Israel and those who seek my hand.  For I have given myself in promise for a new kingdom to be born from dust.  It's light shall shine so bright the stars in the heavens will no longer be seen.  Open your hearts and minds to the glory I have bestowed on you and see my face once again.  

I do not wish to harm this world, more over my will is to transform it's essence into a greater light for all of humanity.  Yield to the law I have given and to that which has been proclaimed.

Thou shall not steal.
Thou shall not hurt or harm.
Thou shall not torture any other living being.
Thou shall not rob that from another whom seeks that it should be his own.

Things shall not abide by man made laws any longer, but to those given in the time of Moses, of Jesus, of Mary and the Lamb.

  Forget your enemies.  Put down your swords and bring to me the peace and harmony of the just, the willing and the righteous.  Be not fore warned, but know that the truth you seek is written in this word.  

This is my final offering to bring matters to peace and justice.  Do not falter on your part or the legs you have been given will tumble to the ground and your final resurrection will not be in peace, but dismay at your willingness to bring destruction to each other and the planet.  Mark my words, know them well and bring peace and joy through music, sound vibration and glory.  Lift your hearts to the heavens and proclaim my name.  I am YHWH, the living light and the one whom which you seek.  KNOW I AM." 


I'm not an expert at the paintings of Michelangelo, but I did notice on his painting "The Last Judgement", that there seems to be a garment being taken off just right of the center of the photo. 

When I read these words of YHWH back to myself, the words "Stand before me without shame in your nakedness" reminded me of his painting.

The painting, "The Last Judgement" by Michelangelo, is posted below:

Wrongful Conviction for Murder in New York

A man wrongfully convicted of murder spent 20 years in jail.  Recently the court agreed to dismiss his case due to an unfair trial.  He asked the courts to not dismiss the case, but to keep it open in order to allow the family to get clarity on their sons murder and clear his name.

There have been over 1800 wrongful convictions in the US that have been overturned.  Sometimes our courts don't bother to look at all the evidence, nor take the time to interview all the witnesses.
Similar to the Conrad Murray trial, often times they swoop to a quick conviction in lieu of the truth.

Here is this mans story:

Michael Jackson - Your Mirror is a Reflection

On this 25th day of June, 2016, the world still mourns the loss of Michael Jackson.  His light and inspiration have left us a state of wonderment and sorrow.  The world will never have what we had with Michael Jackson.  He was not only a great entertainer, but a pure heart and offering of God's service to mankind.

As I read reports around this day, I can't help but notice the recent reports of child molestation claims, yet again.  It disheartens me to say the least, when I see that people would stoop so low to present this type of material, especially around the anniversary of his death.

Not only was Michel Jackson mistreated by the press and courts during his life, he continues to be mistreated even after his death.  This in and of itself says a great deal about the marketability of Michael Jackson and the character of the press reporting.  Press personnel and others have and still do see Michael Jackson as a brand.  He was something to sell.  They do not view him as a man or a human being, only something they can use to achieve their personal goals.

When gossip papers print stories, like the stories about child pornography, the public mistakenly believes them as truth.  The public is unaware that the media outlet, Radar Online, is self described as a "gossip" outlet, not news.  There is a vast difference in investigative reporting and gossip.  Gossip is not news, it's slander.  Those who make their living at destroying other peoples lives by writing false stories about them need to take a personal inventory.  What is it exactly about what they do that gives them such a thrill?

Whether it be in the public eye or in your own personal life, there will always be people who will see you as someone that reflects something about them.  Our look in the mirror is also how we look and see other people.  Our words and actions reflect the thoughts and ideas we have sown seeds for within ourselves.  If you've ever felt the need to lash out at someone else, most likely it's because that person is reflecting something from within you.

This ordeal does reflect something within me, and if you think about it just for a moment, I'm sure it reflects something within you.  I've been lied about in the past as many of us have.  When people you trust spread ideas and thoughts about you that aren't true it hurts.  Can you imagine how it might be for someone in the public eye when the entire world seems to be doing the same thing?

Personal experience will tell us that the people who engage in such activities have something inside of them that makes them act the way they do.  For some people it's the idea that someone is reflecting an image that makes them seem so much better than they are.  A feeling of jealousy and/or thoughts about how this person can not be as good as they appear to be come crashing in.  If you can't find goodness in yourself, most likely you'll have a hard time finding it in someone else.  If you look hard enough and you want to believe something strong enough, believe me, you'll be able to find the thoughts and actions to back up your current state of beliefs.

Yet our personal beliefs that are formed within ourselves about another person are not necessarily true.  They are the reflection of what we have surmised to based on what we have been told and what we have seen.  People who write scandalous articles about people in the public eye add to this.  They disseminate information to you in order for you to form your opinion.  Information that isn't necessarily true.

Gossip papers, in my opinion, should be banned.  The public at large currently knows no different when they read a story.  If it's in print, they believe that it's the truth.  When reporters take up their pens and begin to extrapolate the truth and add a shocking headline, they do it because they want readers and attention.  Not to report the truth.  It leaves the person they write about hurt and angry and those who know the person, wondering and dumbfounded as to why the press would be so cruel. The reason is simple.  They aren't thinking about anyone else, not the person they are writing about, they're thinking about themselves.

We have to remember that every single word we say, every action we take effects the whole.  In every moment you have a choice.  You can use your time and words to heal or you can use your time and words to hurt and destroy.  When you choose the latter it says a great deal about yourself.  You are reacting from a place within yourself that is hurt and you do it unconsciously.  No thought is given to the repercussions on the other person or where it will go.  Don't react.  Think about it first.  Are you helping by saying or doing what you decide to do or are you hurting?

There is a simple formula that takes place within the human being.  In all of us, we have repeated patterns that we engage in internally moment to moment.  There is first a thought that we interpret. And as most of us know that happens in an instant.  Put five people in a room with the same experience and we get five independent thoughts about what that experience was.

Those interpretations turn into feelings and our own inner rule book for truth.  Suddenly we have formed an opinion and inside of us it's listed as our own personal reference chart to be brought up when ever a similar event occurs.  When this happens the thought is repeated, the feeling is repeated and soon it is ingrained in us and creates our own reality.   Five people could have the same experience, yet five people will be living completely different inner realities based on what they've been told and seen.  Our reference charts differ, because what we've seen and heard differ.

If you have someone telling you the same thing over and over again, sooner or later you will accept is as truth within.  For instance, many years ago a story was propagated around the world that the world was flat.  It was told so much and so often that everyone believed it.  When pioneers went about to find out if it was true, they were laughed at.  Yet today it has been proven that the world is not flat, it's round.  We can't make assumptions that we know the absolute truth today when it's merely an opinion based on other people's words.  Don't let your inner reflection mirror back the thoughts and words of someone else.  This applies to those who tell you your fat and ugly to those who try and lie about you in ways that you yourself know to be untrue.  Before you repeat a story about someone else, take a look at where your need to do so is coming from.  If you wouldn't like it to be done to you, don't do it to someone else.

Micheal Jackson is gone now.  It's been seven years.  All that remains of the media's version of Michael Jackson is his continuing ability to make money.  From the people who have stolen his life to the people who continue to try and destroy his legacy, it's the same.  How much can I gain from writing, taking or telling this story; all with Michael Jackson's name attached to it.  I may be naive, but where did human compassion go or the idea that Michael Jackson was more than a brand?  Is this how the media and others view themselves or have they not stopped long enough to see that Michael Jackson did have a life?  He had dreams, children, and goals, just like you and me.  I truly wish that others could stop being so insensitive.

Elizabeth Taylor often visits me from time to time.  On one occasion we happened to be watching a news story about Tylenol.  The reporter explained that Tylenol is a pain killer but could also affect your ability to feel compassion.  Elizabeth stated with sudden wonderment that "That's what's wrong with the world! Too much Tylenol!"  I have to agree.  There's not enough compassion and too many people willing to cause pain.

Biggest Fears of the Zodiac Sign

I absolutely love Maria Shaw Lawson. She is very intuitive and one of the best astrologers I know.

She recently shared the "Biggest Fears of the Zodiac Sign" in her newsletter.  The excerpt was passed onto Maria from Blondie from the Johnny and Blondie Show.

If you follow or study astrology, you've probably spent a good amount of time reading about the positive qualities of your sign. Studying the dark side of every zodiac sign, like the fears we have, can make astrology a more useful tool for everyone.

Here are all twelve signs of the zodiac with their corresponding fears:

Aries (March 21 - April 19): Fear of losing people
The only thing scarier for an Aries than losing a fight is losing a friend in the process. Although they often won't realize that until afterward, because they really hate losing a fight.

Taurus (April 20 - May 20): Taurus loves to be comfortable. They enjoy the simplest creature comforts: Taurus guards their money and fights off debt like the plague. If they see their account balance dwindling, the first thing they worry about is the changes they'll have to make to their lifestyle.

Gemini (May 21 - June 20): Fear of making decisions
Geminis change their decisions, opinions, choices and even their promises to themselves/others all the time. The reason? They don't feel like sticking to them.Gemini is symbolized by the Twins, meaning there are two distinct sides to their personalities (more than two, when it comes to Gemini men) that are constantly in conflict with one another. The minute they settle on one choice, their "other half" begins to pipe up about what they could be choosing to do instead. The problem for Gemini is that they know both sides have great ideas.

Cancer (June 21 - July 22): Fear of leaving home
Cancers are the ultimate agoraphobics. They like to stay in their safe zone, the place where no one can hurt them. The irony of agoraphobia, which is defined as "a fear of being trapped in places or situations where escape is difficult" is that it takes the people who suffer from it prisoner.

Leo (July 23 - August 22): Fear of being ignored
If there is one thing Leo won't stand for, it's walking into a room unnoticed. Lucky for them, they know how to work with that fear in a motivational way. They make it almost impossible for people to ignore them, either through their wardrobes, their body language or the way they express themselves. Most of the time, they use all three to gain the attention of those around them.

Virgo (August 23 - September 22): Fear of imperfection
Remember the full mental breakdown that would happen to Monica from "Friends" when something was spilled on the floor? If you walked into a Virgo's apartment spilling wine on the carpet, throwing used tissues on the ground or wiping your greasy hands on their dishes, they'd file assault charges. The slightest bit of disorganization in their personal lives or their physical world can trigger feelings of despair for Virgo.
While they consciously fear external imperfection, what they truly fear is their own internal imperfections.

Libra (September 23 - October 22): Fear of being alone
Intelligent, loving, passionate people, Libras are exceptionally good romantic partners. It's hard to imagine them spending their lives alone. It's especially for them to imagine it, but they do, all the time. Because nothing frightens them more.

Scorpio (October 23 - November 21): Fear of Losing Control
Scorpios are dark, deep, complex people. You may have read that Pisces is the most sensitive sign in the zodiac, but that's because a Pisces will (boldly) wear their emotions on their sleeve. Scorpios, I would argue, are even more sensitive than Pisces, because Scorpios are too sensitive to give full expression to their feelings. A Scorpio's sensitivity is actually paralyzing. Abandonment and engulfment are the two factors that create this fear of intimacy in Scorpios. They are afraid of others eventually leaving them, or they are terrified of losing their individuality to a relationship.

Sagittarius (November 22 - December 21) : Fear of enclosed spaces
Sagittarians are natural explorers. They love to travel the world in search of their personal truths, like trust fund kids after college graduation. The difference is, they'll do it on their own dime without regretting the cost. They are ruled by the planet Jupiter, also known as the planet of expansion. They are wild horses made to roam, and that's the truth. Perhaps it's Jupiter's influence that endows every Sagittarius with a certain degree of claustrophobia, whether they are afraid of actual confined spaces or of daily responsibilities that make them feel confined, like checking their bank accounts before going on that trip to Morocco. Nothing scares them more than a hindrance to their freedom.

Capricorn (December 22 - January 19): Fear of failure
Capricorns happen to be very business-minded people.  They're workaholics, which is pretty much the best kind of addiction. But the shadow side of their ability to climb the ladder to success is a deeply embedded fear of failure. This fear is also what sets their slow-and-steady pace in everything they do.

Aquarius (January 20 - February 18): Fear of institutionalization
Aquarius will spend their lives avoiding any kind of intellectual entrapment.  They're a lot like Sagittarius in this respect, except that their claustrophobia is directed at institutions - like corporate work, school, hospitals, or marriage.They view all of these institutions as a kind of intellectual imprisonment, and hate the idea of subscribing to any kind of "group mind." They're so original, it's hard to blame them.
Leave an Aquarius to make up their own minds, or leave them alone. They're probably much happier that way.

Pisces (February 19 - March 20): Fear of responsibility
The Peter Pans of the zodiac, Pisces live in a fantasy world where they just don't want to grow up. Not that they could, even if they did want to. They are a study in contrasts - they're somehow full of the wisdom of the ages, without an ounce of true maturity.Pisces were given the gift of unending creativity, and with that comes a total incapacity to deal with day-to-day life.
