Did you feel the shift last weekend? Saturday morning, before many of us were awake, the moon came into the seventh house and Jupiter aligned with Mars. That's right folks: the dawning of the age of Aquarius, as immortalized by the song most of you are probably humming (I have been for nearly a week now). Peace and love, folks. Peace and love.

What does this mean for you and me?

Well, I'm not in your body, but I can tell you about my experience. I'm not suddenly filled with love for all things and spreading glittered hearts around. However, I am noticing disharmony more. When I get angry (and this has been a week of angry outbursts for me) I feel it actually welling up inside of me. It feels wrong, off-balance, and out of sorts. It simply does not ring true. This is interesting to me, the former hot head who felt out of control whenever stressful circumstances came up. Before now, my world (at least in regard to anger) was simply black and white. I was fine, or seething. There was never a mild irritation- just hot anger I buried so deep I almost couldn't feel anything anymore.

So this is a good thing. I am more loving because I am able to better recognize the opposite. In doing so, in time, I will lean towards love instead of anger. I will talk instead of hiding. I will take frustrations out on paper, or in the gym, instead of attacking myself with food or pain. I will bow to the light of those around me, instead of seeing my light as superior. I will speak Truth instead of illusion, but only from a place of love. I will respect the illusion that other people hold dear, accept that I alone chose this illusion, this playground for this lifetime.
