Heard about Houston? Heard about Detroit?
Heard about Pittsburgh, PA? — David Byrne

Dear Friend and Reader:

Last night, one of my clients in The Awakening series of live readings said, “I don’t trust anything anymore.”

That about sums up the total effect of the environment we are living in. Beyond the horrifying impact of specific events — the shootings, the holy wars, the nuclear threats, the sex scandals, the fires, the floods, and the frequent attacks on civic life — the effect of the total environment is to destroy trust.

By trust, I mean trust in existence, in yourself, in one another, in humanity, and in various authorities to hold society together, handle emergencies and protect people. This no longer seems to be the role of these people or entities in any form.

It’s often passed off as lack of judgment or preparation; as bad decisions or unforeseen circumstances. Critics of the response are insultingly called “Monday morning quarterbacks.”

I’ve been covering deadly corporate and government antics since I was 19-years-old. There is always foreknowledge; there is always warning; there are always studies and predictions and admissions saying exactly what will develop. There are often good plans for how to handle difficult situations. And they are usually ignored.

You may well be ensnared in a problem that’s going around — to do so would mean opening up a dimension of past crisis and pain. And this is just not interesting, and it’s not pleasant. Yet here is where motivation comes in, which generally gets filed as “the desire for instant gratification” these days. Your longterm mental and emotional wellbeing would be your ideal actual motive, and this will require pushing the pause button on letting others decide what is right for you. In fact, they don’t know, and you need to find out.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) — The fundamental tension in your solar chart is between what you want, and what you want to do every day. Anyone who has ever accomplished a long-term goal knows that it’s done a little at a time over a sustained period. And this can involve setting aside other seeming priorities — at least for a few hours a day. Now is an excellent time to experience a little of that discomfort in order to establish habits and priorities that get you to your longer-term goal. Use the tools of structure and timing to keep your focus. For example, if you’re planning to put two hours a day into a project you might be resisting, start the day with it and get it behind you. Just about anything can wait for a couple of hours, and after a while you will create a workflow and a container for getting what you want.
