(This week: Venus goes retrograde and Mercury enters Aries.)

When your known world suddenly becomes unknown, most experience discomfort and anxiety. Yearning grows to “make things right.”

There is no stopping the train. Everything is moving towards dissolving the structures of the Industrial Age, and thank goodness. They reduced human beings to cogs and brought the world to the brink of destruction.

And yet still, we cling to the old because it’s familiar, just like an unhealthy relationship.

Many have been doing their homework the past many years and decades, preparing for this time. They are more internally balanced and equanimous, and have picked up enough wisdom to know what is going on and not get panicked. These are the space holders and they are mostly invisible.

While we are powerless to stop the bulldozer trucks right now, we can control our responses and reactions.

Please don’t feed the world more anger, hostility, and judgment. There’s enough of that to go around.

Can we get silent? Can we get still? Can we close our eyes and breathe? Can we recognize our place in Nature and understand we are not in control of our destinies. All of us are riding waves we didn’t create.

There is no use for a society where few are happy and many suffer. It’s not worth sustaining.

Walk with equanimity. Practice kindness, even in the smallest ways. Spark up a conversation with a neighbor. Care for a plant. Donate things you haven’t used in awhile. Do something useful in your community.

Become part of the solution.

Be the solution because you are it, and always have been. 🐼
