What is the most important body in the universe? Why, earth of course. Because it sustains us. But we never see it on an astrological chart. What we see is how the other celestial bodies effect it and us. Just like we only see ourselves in relationship to the world around us. We learn, over time, to anticipate how things will affect us and what we will do in different circumstances. Like computer programming of if-then. And it seems to be how we have lived our adult lives. Until now. The last couple of years we have been thrown some curve balls where our normal contingency plans have not worked. We have had to make things up as we go along, with no time for planning.

Just when we think we can start making new long-term plans, something else comes up. You all know what I am talking about. You can fill in the details from your own life. My point is that we are no longer able to make long term plans. For most people it is a new thing. I hear more and more and more people saying this. It has been going on for me, for many, many years. Long ago I was asked what I saw myself doing at the end of that year. My response? Surrendering, allowing, and trusting! Surrendering every moment, allowing any possibility, and trusting that the outcome will be a miracle. Taking one step at a time, as it is revealed to you. Then the next. You may end up where you thought you would. You may not. If not, you will find it is somewhere better. This does not mean doing nothing and letting things just happen to you! On the contrary, you must DO! Do what there is to do when it shows up! Sometimes, the steps are easy, other times they are more challenging. Do them anyway. Everything is working out according to a Divine Plan. And it will be what is best for everyone. And THAT is written in the stars!

Questions or comments ajanel@ajanel.net.

You have little time this weekend for small talk. You are looking for emotional depth in your conversations with siblings, other family members and neighbors. You will notice these types of conversations happening in your immediate and everyday surroundings, rather than the chit chatty smile and nod you usually experience.
