Hi Everyone,

The following article by astrologer, Lynn Bell, provides an intriguing view into the present activities taking place in the heavens. It's often difficult to imagine how intimately we are influenced by the different magnetic fields of the planets. How could planets existing light-years away from us possibly affect our day-to-day lives? Or world economic activity? Or the quality of our relationships?  But they do. Comprehending that influence requires a leap into mystical consciousness, a leap that takes you out of your ordinary mind and into grasping the meaning of the mystical law: All is One.  But thinking about that law - just thinking about it - is an insufficient mode of transportation into the vast domain of the cosmos.  Mystical laws are experiential forces that shatter the ordinary mind.  Suffice to say that what is happening in the heavens right now is affecting your life through yet another mystical law - the balance of the microcosm to the macrocosm.  Lynn and I will be doing a workshop together next month in which we will be mapping out the relationship between the vastness of the cosmos, the mystical laws, and how these forces interplay with your personal life. I hope many of you will consider joining us. Meantime, enjoy her brilliance.

Love,
Caroline 

Sometimes the frontier between creation and destruction is hard to distinguish. Astronomers tell us that the  gaseous explosions of dying supernovae may also give rise to seedling stars.  In India, the god Shiva dances the world into being, then sets it on fire, and dances in the flames. Are we dancing on a funeral pyre or conjuring the light of a new world?

These are the questions that arise as Uranus prepares to enter fire, to cross into Aries for the first time in eighty-four years.  We can feel ourselves on that border between creativity and destruction. We are seeing the first signs of the new world to come, but if our thoughts are turned to the past we may fear it is the last thing we will see.

The energy of Aries rushes up and forward, out of the oceanic depth of Pisces, the preceding sign.  It is not to be denied. This first step into the sign releases a pent up force, much like the transforming fire ice that blew through a whole series of safety valves in the Deepwater Horizon explosion.  Methane moved from crystalline form, to liquid, gas, and then to fire, fire so hot that paint melted off the lifeboats, of those who were able to get away.

Energy that has been locked up, frozen, held back, is being released now, with this first surge into fire. Those who have felt too held back, frustrated, may break out of bounds and rage beyond control. There will be blowouts, as there were in the Gulf, and outbreaks of social unrest, as we have seen in Greece where rioters sent banks on fire, with people trapped inside, or in Thailand where a luxury shopping mall was torched and burnt to a black ruin.

Uranus in Aries makes us burn for change. It carries a tremendous creative force, a force that can awaken the inner light of each individual.  Many things will be set in motion during its passage in the sign. Uranus carries the archetype of freedom, and in Aries, places it in the hands of each individual. Where individuals feel trapped, or burdened by a system that curtails their choice, sparks can fly. Where we turn our attention to what is emerging, to possibilities of change and innovation, to invention, there is the pure joyful force of the new. What is the life we are meant to live? Who are we meant to be?

Uranus enters Aries May 27 and will stay till mid August, returning next spring for six more years. Just after it enters the sign, on June 6, it is joined by Jupiter in a joyful pairing, bringing a rare time of opening and release. It is lighting the first fuse of the time to come. During this summer it will rub up against five other major planets in a rare celestial configuration.  We have not seen its likes for over forty years. 

Uranus in Aries can be gentle, it can come with the tender force of young green leaves, the gambol of a new born lamb. When it is welcomed, it infuses our life with renewal. Right now it is rubbing against the old structures.  That friction is making sparks fly, tempers are short, If we are feeling trapped, if change seems impossible, then Shiva dances his destructive dance. If we can welcome and grasp what is moving in our lives, they may take an entirely new direction.  Come join Caroline Myss and I in Chicago June 10 to 14th, to step into this moment together.
