In the Wake of the Aquarius New Moon: When Change Is Upon Us

Happy Chinese New Year and Aquarius (Now Pisces) New
Moon!

In the wake of yesterday's jubilant Aquarius New Moon, and
today's Pisces (still New) Moon and Chinese New Year of the Metal
Ox, I have been seeking voices and perspectives to help me and us
find our way forward with true hearts.

Sometimes I remember elders who influenced me deeply over the
years and try to find YouTubes where I can see them and listen to
their voices.  Over the past couple of days I have been
deeply drawn back to  Joanna Macy.  She is a true elder
of our time, at 91 years of age, she is still speaking, teaching,
transmitting great wisdom regarding our current age. 

She is a Buddhist and a Deep Ecologist known for the process she
developed known as "The Work That Reconnects."  Perhaps more
than anyone I know, she creates a container where we can do the
necessary work of facing our grief and anguish as we cultivate
the heart and compassion to be doulas of a dying age and midwives
of what she refers to as "The Great Turning."  Her words in
a recent interview:

"I spoke to the sky--I remember looking up at the stars, I wanted
them to see us. Not to save us.  I said please see us, to
see what happens to a planet when we don't love each other. I
thought if we could at least be useful in that way it would make
it so much easier to bear.  It would make us an abject
lesson to the Universe, or at least our part of the Galaxy,"
don't you think it would make it easier?"

She has an Aquarius Moon, and when I hear her words and her
transmission of a particular feminine Aquarian intelligence we
are needing to access in order to see the magnitude of what we
face and understand we must take the long view of repairing our
broken world. 

Here is the full interview.

In my most recent podcast I share insight into the ongoing
medicine of the Aquarius New Moon exact yesterday (Thursday)
February 11, the Moon's activation of Venus at the "Death By
Intent" or Earth Star Chakra Gate on February 10th, and her
entrance into the Underworld on Sunday, Valentine's Day.

I explore the upcoming big transit of next week--and truly this
year--with Saturn square Uranus this coming Wednesday, February
17, and Mercury's direct station February 20, which opens a 2 1/2
month window of All Planets Direct until Pluto's retrograde
station on April 27.
