It feels good to meet up with you here, BR, at the PW cyber commune and it’s also good to know that things keep a-changing. Mercifully.
Yeah tone it down a bit there Jupiter; plonk yer feet on the ground. You’d be doing us all a favour!
so good to hear from you, shebear.
I totally get where you’re coming from.
I, myself, was in a meltfown yesterday.
I guess that when we are melting down in Aries/Pisces/Mars/Mercury/Jupiter territory its more like a steam bath or sauna with too many voices coming out of the mist and some of them sounding like real egomaniacs (sorry Jupiter, but you are starting to really irritate me).
The good thing is–it all keeps changing.
One other thing to add.
Something uplifting that I hope will take weary minds of all things catastrophic.

Hey Burning, I’m touched that you asked about me. Really.
It brought a tear.
*Thank* you.
I’m in retreat from postings ‘cos I’m feeling burned out, tired, and trying to figure out this new paradigm that Aries on fire with Neptune scuba diving in Pisces has presented us with. That along with a non existent spring here in Toronto, (there’s a strong possibility of *snow* tomorrow? WT….), an election campaign for a new federal government that winds up on May 2nd where I *detest* the incumbent and am beyond heartsick of the thought of him remaining as this country’s PM, saturated with the plight of Japan and its nuclear catastrophe, the continued nightmare in Haiti that has it’s population still living in tents, Bradley Manning locked up and languishing in jail (and not Cheney/Bush2/Rumsfeld/Wolfiwitz/Perle); bankers that had us by the short and curlies who are now once again laughing all the way to the……….bank with another round of ***obscene*** bonuses.
I’m just *so* sick of it all with no end in sight.
So there you have it. Just stepping back to recharge, as my health is nodding me in that direction. Time outs and reflections seem to be the order of the day.
Oh and btw, I went to a talk on Esoteric Astrology today — of all things — and the presenter suggested the book “The Labours of Hercules” by Alice Bailey by way of an introduction to the topic, before attempting to read “Esoteric Astrology” which just might prove to be a bit daunting for some people. Just thought I’d mention that.
Blessings.
Note to self: buy a copy of Esoteric Astrology.
It is not uncommon for me to feel understood, accepted and inspired by Eric’s newsletter. but this week was extraordinary in it’s guidance for me. thank you, Eric. I do believe it’s all coming together and for that I am deeply grateful …
Mary
PS: on another note, I’ve got this issue with the word “uptight” … there must be a word to substitute there that isn’t as pejorative or drenched with hippy-ungrooviness. Makes me want to grab something pharmeceutical.
Dearest Sadge.
First it was your tree-house, now it’s the pool or the ocean! All right, babe,
How about strolling through the park a block away from me to Lake Erie’s crystal clear water?
Deep breath, sigh, life is good. ….. and the future’s really bright…and to paraphrase M. O.
….the only life we can,
our own.
What awesome synchronicity. Reading your post helped me round out my day with full fledged thankfulness. Keep on that creating stream girl, Life needs you.
she bear–are you ok?
time?
what the F is that anymore?
seriously, I can’t tell if I’m even on Earth anymore, although I think I am.
I’ve become this creation, this shining, momentous, light being, moving from
one project to the next, and back again. I am being propelled, infused, given
this seemingly endless Energy to follow my creative impulses. and there is a hunger component. it’s like I’m pure, conscious, flow a lot of the time. I used to require 8 hours of sleep, and basically followed the natural course of the day, quieting at sundown, and rising before dawn. might be a farmer thing. anyway, that’s all blown to hell.
the weird part is that I’m THRIVING. so, you better believe I’m paying attention. I’ve been given this Energy, this Flow (follow your Bliss) as a gift . synchronicity after sychronicity going on. it truly is dream-like. my notebooks are off-the-hook. never gone through so many Moleskins in such a short period.
even when the people I work with (who normally receive an insane amount of attention from me) are like, ‘ when are you coming back? Are you DONE YET? you did WHAT? you’re DOING WHAT? You Suck now, You’re Not Yourself’ I remain committed to honoring this “whatever is happening”. it seems like they were feeding off my energy before, and now that I am consciously directing it elsewhere, Baby New Year tantrums ensue. I’ve spent many hours and tears dealing with them, trying to explain to them what I am doing and why. but at some point, I just have to Get BACK to what I am supposed to be doing. regardless. even if my eyes hurt. and it’s 2am. I know I’m on the right track. rational/irrational, I don’t care- the Universe is sending too many signs.
yes, I’m taking notes-because I can’t possibly recount what has happened when at this point.
how can you not? when you are face-to-face with your hopes/dreams/visions, are you gonna say “ummm, I can’t handle this right now? can you come back at umm 3 tomorrow?” Manifestation & artistic expression doesn’t work that way.
all I have to say is, Be Ready Folks! this is such a powerful, magnetic time, and if you are someone who is used to manifesting say, one thing at a time, well, BE READY FOR EVERYTHING- All at Once, right?
Burning River: I’m with you with the shades on, sista. are we by the pool? or the ocean today? I REALLY need to go swimming. soon! Speaking of synchronicity, I had my Mary Oliver (N&S V.1) right next to me and “The Journey” was in there, p.114. that poem totally describes what I am talking about above. perfect. just perfect! I am hoping you are having a better day taking care of yourself! ‘see’ ya soon,
thanks for the vent,
peace Everyone!
pomme de terre is actually a literal description and from the latin “malum terrae.” (hope i don’t sound french-defensive. but, you know, it’s not a case of euphemism. and, yes, i have a word obsession.)
“From the 17th century to the mid 20th century, French served as the pre-eminent international language of diplomacy and international affairs as well as a lingua franca among the educated classes of Europe. The dominant position of the French language has only recently been overshadowed by English, due to the emergence of the United States of America as a major power.”
on second thought, i likely have domination/submission issues!
“It’s like we’re living a month or two every week, and yet time seems to be going by so fast nobody can keep track of it. I’ve been trying to figure out this seeming contradiction for a while, to no avail yet.”
Beautiful concept of Chronos vs. Kairos has appealed to me and helped me understand the way this time thing is rolling out right now. Chronos is clock time, Kairos is evolutionary time. I’m likening it to content vs. form – with Kairos being the experiences that happen that stimulate unfoldment and return to source, Chronos as the jar full of tools we use to measure and qualify and quantify the experiences of Kairos.
So for me, the synthesis of the seeming contradiction you mention is that this is a matter of “both/and” we are living a month or two every week because we are experiencing more in that week. We may be experiencing more numerous events, but I have been feeling that quantity has not been as obvious as quality – we may be dealing with only one experience, but we are having the opportunity to process 50 different issues through that one experience. If we are working through more than one thing, say five in a week, then that’s 250 issues being dealt with in the span of that week. I feel that Kairos is overtaking Chronos, with more evolution squeezed into less time. This feels, intuitively, pretty freekin fractal, like Kairos speeding up is pushing our shared timeline into a tighter golden spiral. Time acceleration f’sho.
I hear you write about it here all the time “Everything all at once” as the mantra of the 2012 era. “Personal as political” in all the Aries point action. But it also feels very Chiron to me. Every moment draws all awareness to the one wound that must be addressed – and because of the intersection of Chronos and Kairos, dealing with that one wound is a very thorough and powerful experience, stimulating, illuminating and hopefully releasing the energy building up within, rippling outward until we all fully accept the only relationships that actually matter – Self. Other. Planet.
Add to the amazing mix (of today’s mail-out and the simmering energy all around) an acupuncturist in tune with the universe and me… And wow! I’m going to go on a walking tour of town and spread the love.
Dearest, amazing Eric,
you describe exactly the process I’m going through right now. I have a sense of possibility and excitement – instead of age old doom, dread and gloom, as if I’m shedding many old snake skins at long long last. Never thought I’d live to see such a day, on the eve of turning 50.
Thank you as ever
Lots of love

Thank you , Eric. Your few paragraphs of words have explained for me what I meant (and why) when I responded to the question this morning “how are you?” — “shittie.”
Last October’s Moon in Aries, Sun in Libra was extremely high energy-life changing for me and seems to have become the fulcrum point of my entire life. Since those days and weeks afterward I have been processing intensely and continuing to make one life changing decision after another. Life changing. Part of this process for me brought me mysteriously (can’t remember how I came upon your site) to Planet Waves sometime after the winter solstice.
These two Full Moons have relationships screaming at me from all sides (Mary Oliver’s poem, “The Journey” is an excellent descriptor) but I am being forced to go deeper and deeper into—“Wait a minute! What about Me, Whoever I am.?”
I started to notice this call from within me in the 1997-98 era of cycles that has been mentioned a couple times on your site; it was then stepped up around 2004 (Venus transit Sun); the pedal hit the gas in late summer 2008; and the rubber hit the road October 2010. Reading your articles with these significant dates has enabled me to put this all into a relatively universal or cosmic, as well as personal, perspective.
It is such an individual process—so me oriented and centered—but also so other oriented in its sensation and effects. Astrology helps be know I am not imagining this. Your interpretation of astrology, without the judgmentalism and negativism and set-in-stone-predictions, has been enormously useful for me to be able to hear and see what the stars are saying. Planet Waves, under your editorial leadership is strengthening my ability to live my life consciously.
Your article this morning pulled me back again to my place on earth, my time on earth and my life today–which is the only thing that I am responsible for getting into balance. I forget so easily and so fast. I start wobbling—like a gyroscope that a butterfly’s wing affected. Your article is the other butterfly that flies by and sets it on its correct spinning axis again.
Events, internationalk as well as personal, HAVE condensed their high energy into tightly packed days and nights and weeks and months while 5,000 blackbirds fall from the sky, the worst nuclear meltdown since we dropped the bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki seems to be in progress and affecting the entire planet, elected official’s evil and insanity are being spoken publicly out of their own mouths and accepted by the “public” (the mass indoctrinated innocents of their own unconsciousness), and I daily have to remind myself of my limits when it comes to responsibility to the planet, my groups, my friends, my family and myself.
I am fucking tired today and without your article would stay in shittie because of unwarranted guilt. Guilt about whatever it is that needs to be done, but is not getting done in my eyes and that I know Isn’t mine anyway. Bur still in shittie.
I am gratified to know, through your Plaent Waves community and you that I am most likely not the only one feeling the way I do today, but also, that I am not the only one who is determined to get this little gyroscope’s wobble settled down so I can continue to spin MY spin without too much wobble, again, for another day.
So, today, I am going to rest, re-attach all my dissociated parts, stitch us together again, rest, play a little and re-member my self into the sacred place within which is the place I am cultivating so that it will be ready always for me, cozy, full of peace, safety and love and connected to all the others settled into their sacred gardens and farms and wherever else the sacred in them has created when Krypton explodes.
Sadge, I promise you. I’ll be wearing shades and smiling.
