MONDAY, October 13 – SUNDAY, October 19
Hello!
My first task of the morning is making coffee. Once that’s done, I put on the news. This morning, as I sipped my way into the day, the screen was full of people, many with piles of bedding and household items on their heads, making their way through the rubble that is Gaza to get to their homes, or at least the place where their homes once stood. Peace reigns. At least for the moment.
On Monday, Venus arrives in Libra – the sign of peace, harmony and love – and it will be presiding over the signing of the 20-point-peace-plan. Trump will be there for the celebrations. As I said in my Friday Bite, that Neptune and Saturn are opposed to Venus sends conflicting messages: one of hope and the other of failure. And can there ever be true peace in a land that two peoples claim is theirs by divine right?
There are probably quite a few of us with seemingly irresolvable problems on our hands -feuds, polarized positions and old scores to settle – so we know how difficult it is even to get to the negotiating table. However, we could use these transformational influences – Pluto is stationary-direct – to make the first move toward resolution.
There’s a lot of talk about a new era of divine consciousness being upon us. With so many conflicts raging all over the world, it’s hard to see it, but in the same way that a journey of a thousand miles starts with the first step, when one of us rises above our ego and offers to make peace, it contributes to the greater whole doing the same thing.
Maybe our task for the week should be picking up the phone and asking: Can we talk?
Food for thought at a time when so much hangs in the balance.
Onward and Starward.
