We have a great opportunity for some real healing of old wounds here. Most all of us are suffering from Post Traumatic Shock and it would not hurt at all to consult with a professional for assistance. Most of us just went back to our lives without ever going through the most important steps to wellness. God Bless each and everyone of you!

It is helpful to remember that all is impermanent, Buddhist first noble truth but not subscribe to anxiety because of transits! How did anyone get through WWII, etc when the world did truly seem to be ending and many worlds did. I go to India where it is accepted that life has problems and people do not expect that all will always be wonderful that way the "new age" teaches. That said I also have similar problems especially with Mars at 1 Cap and I feel I am going to turn into a t-square this summer with many other planets squaring. What is astrology ultimately for, to listen to a deeper beat that others do not hear or"believe in". Blessings for all to tune into the help and guidance that the planets (through dieties in Vedic?) can offer us, surely we are not just victims. kind regards, Eileen I also remember the harmonic convergence, Y2K and many other times of fear.

Turning toward instead of pushing against or denying is always the key. Thank you. I was so glad to read this today as I couldn’t put my finger on my anxiety.

You're validating exactly what I've been feeling. The Saturn-Pluto square carries a feeling of "impending doom," although outer events may not manifest like that at all. I these harsh energies (including Uranus's move into the mix) writ large in world affairs. On a personal note, I've been working daily with an affirmation I found from Ekhart Tolle's work: CAN I BE THE SPACE FOR THIS NOW? This sentence can be said aloud with many different inflections, but the main point is that all there is is NOW and my job is to work at being the space to contain this "now." It has helped enormously. My sleep has been disrupted over the last 3 nights. I attribute that to my sensing Mars's shift to direction motion. Love, Claudia Hi Mary, thank you for this column.

I agree whole heartedly. I posted the following on my Goddess Astrology page today: Venus opposite Saturn = tough love. No, not that bullshit about shaming someone in the name of love. That is far too easy for some. No, I mean the really tough love. Unconditional love. Show loving kindness toward someone who you really dislike, who really pushes your buttons. Love them in spite of all your differences.... Acceptance means letting go of trying to control who they are. That is tough love. “So I’m looking at the Aries planets this month as a chance to propitiate the pair and make peace with Saturn and Pluto while I can.”

I'm really experiencing this badly at the mo'. Luckily I am in psychosynthesis counseling :-) Liked what you said about our relationship to money, since Venus is now involved.

For me I'm realizing over and over again we are all trimming the fat from our existence. Paring down and finding the "truly" holistic parts to our spirit-self. It is so vital now, as we enter this new decade of tumult in progress & catalyst reform. Perhaps the goal will be to awaken to a new and profound existence of peace, love,truth and joy. The new age of earthlings becoming galactic beings! I “truly” enjoyed your article! For me I’m realizing over and over again we are all trimming the fat from our existence.

It has manifested so personally...I look to my birthday on March 20 with some trepidation and ready to just hang on for the ride!
