I love this astrologers perspective on things and just thought Id share some of her wisdom with you this morning. As the world stage looks more and more like something imagined by the Grimm Brothers, as the earth continues to rattle and roll, and as your own inner compass swings wildly, can there be any doubt that the consciousness shift whose time has come is daunting in its scope and phenomenal in its range? I feel myself moving back and forth between the depths of my grief for all that is suffering and the visionary stories fueled by courage and the desire for re-invention I hear from my clients day after day after remarkable day. I know in my bones that all is not lost. I can feel in the hearts and minds of the people to whom I listen, every single day, a level of sanity and compassion and vision which is igniting a completely new level of consciousness on earth. .... just a few words about the Saturn to Mars merger which has been escalating havoc over the last few weeks and which reaches its apex tomorrow morning: The dark expression of this energy is driven by rage, violence and a mandate to protect old patriarchal standards. Certainly we can see this played out in the larger context of our times, on every continent and through a wide range of contexts. Even the earth herself is shaking. As much as we would like to gain some control over the mayhem, we cannot stop the old structures from crashing and burning and as they go down, theyre going to continue to make a whole lot of noise and create anxiety in anyone whose heart has not turned to stone. But heres the key to using Saturn merged with Mars to your advantage: Notice where your own anger surfaces because you feel caged or controlled or, even, out-of-control. Maybe youre angry with yourself because your self-discipline has caved. Dont bother with self-flagellation. Instead, tap into the well of your courage to dump the old habits; as you strip away what no longer works for you, something more stable and sustainable will begin to grow around you. Anger can be your friend if it points you toward what you just cant stomach anymore, and if you are careful not to throw that anger at anyone else. See the red flag for what it is and address it with an emotional bulldozer and a lot of muscle. ~ Deborah OConnor Clow
