When the moon is in the 7th house…
And Jupiter aligns with Mars…
Then peace will guide the planets and love will steer the stars!
I love that song. And I love any song that transitions from one song to another one. The creative genius to weave two songs together always amazes me.

If you pay attention to things in the astrological realm, you’ll know that Pluto moved into Aquarius this week for the first time in over 200 years. Pluto is a slow moving planet, and it will be in Aquarius for the next two decades. So, why is this significant? Well, the last time it happened, we had the American Revolution, the French Revolution, the Haitian Revolution, the start of the Industrial Revolution, and the Age of Enlightenment. Are you seeing a trend???
It’s time, friends. It’s time to actively be the good we want to see in the world. It’s time to collectively join forces to make change. (It’s always been time, but now it’s even timier time.)
I just got off a call with
and other likeminded people to talk about our ideas for being a Collective for Good - developing actual workable plans and creating a network of people and resources for supporting various causes and addressing specific issues.This is exciting, but it’s only the first step. There is an unending list of issues, and getting organized is imperative to creating momentum and success.
With our ever shortening attention spans and our need for immediate gratification, advocacy and activation for the greater good are ever harder to maintain. The problems to be addressed require long term commitments of time, attention, and energy. As a society, we have a hard time remembering the past and not repeating it. Our memories are short, and our desire for comfort often overrides our desire to maintain our integrity. (It’s me, hi. I’m the problem, it’s me.)
But, that doesn’t mean we don’t try. Small acts add up. Local and community projects make a difference. Being mindful of where our dollars go makes a difference. Highlighting voices that don’t look or sound like ours makes a difference. Even if you have no social media platform, no disposable income, no position of power in the community, our actions make a difference. Notice I didn’t say “our voices” - seems like there are too many voices screaming into the echo chamber sometimes, so we need to be mindful of our voices and focused on our actions. Words without actions are meaningless.
So friends, how will you celebrate The Age of Aquarius? What are you going to do? How will you make your home, your community, your world a tiny bit better today?
What’s important to you? Tell me, I really want to know!
Letting the sun shine in,
Kris
Still trying to educate people on what's really happening, not just the facade of what you don't understand when you don't dig deeper. I love digging deeper. I'm a political junkie. So I try to share what I've discovered, and what I've learned. Otherwise, I try to help family and friends when I can, oftentimes just to listen. My dog sports community has been wonderful to keep me grounded and connected. We don't compete with each other as much as we cheer each other on. And we reach out and help each other in times of need. It represents an incredible sense of community that has been lost by many. I have dog friends, and wheaten terrier friends all over the country, and I make new friends on a regular basis. I very much enjoy my facebook and youtube community as well. Many times they intersect. I figure I have one to two more good decades left (always hoping for more, I have a lot to learn, do and discover) so this seems like a good time to be alive with the wisdom I've attained. Looking forward to future grandchildren growing up. We are going to get past this four years, and ironically, it may be what we needed to move forward. When the hubris is exposed for what it is, maybe we can move on from the emptiness of both political parties and the empire that isn't serving its people. Might be nice to no longer be the big bad bully on the block. I still think most people are good, even if there's that one lunatic who cuts you off on the Long Island Expressway. "And peace will guide the planet, and love will steer the stars..."
I continue to volunteer in animal rescue every Sunday, I give money locally to pretty much anyone who asks, and I am doing what I can to push my very "red" industry in the direction of sustainability every chance I get. Beyond that--I'm really tired to be honest. I am ignoring all news and just trying to take care of my small circle as best I can, to look around too hard is to damage what is left of my sanity.
