WILD HORSES WILL CARRY US HOME
Dear Friend,
Uranus, the planet of revolutionary change, is stationing to go direct on December 1st at 23° Pisces, never to pass this point again for most of our lifetimes—eighty-four years. This Cosmic Trickster of Transformation will be galloping at high speed until he bursts into Aries on May 29th, 2010.
This is the energetic launch-code signaling the birth of the next cycle of the evolution of consciousness on Planet Earth. All I can envision when I tune into this upcoming energy is a herd of wild horses racing at high speed towards a river, then pausing in mid-stream and waiting for the right moment before crossing over into a new frontier.
When I checked the dates for Uranus’s transits for 2010, it became clear why the herd paused in my vision: Uranus just peeks into Aries from the end of May until August 15th, and doesn’t fully enter this ground-breaking cycle in a blaze of cardinal fire until March 13th, 2011. But what a peek! Almost instantaneously, Uranus conjoins with buoyant Jupiter, also peeking into Aries on June 7th—a sign of as much explosive hope and light at the end of the tunnel as anyone could wish for.
Can you feel how intense the energy vortex is in the passageway we’re currently moving though? That’s because Saturn, newly in relationship-oriented Libra since October 29th, is initiating his challenge to Pluto exactly on November 15th, 2009, while continuing his opposition dance with Uranus through August 2010.
This means that any existing structures (ruled by Saturn)—internal and external, personal and en masse—which can no longer support the next level of the (r)evolution of conscious-ness—are either going to be transformed unpredictably (that’s Uranus’s game) or recycled (that’s Pluto’s function—and I’m being diplomatic).
So what’s a wild horse to do? If we truly want to be as free as the wind, we need to pick our moments to act—in word, thought and deed—AND take full responsibility for setting a positive tone outward to affect change, rather than allowing any negativity “out there” to affect our inner Being.
In Taoist philosophy, it is said:
“When a cat falls out of a tree, it lets go of itself, becomes completely relaxed, and lands lightly on the ground. If the cat made up its mind that it didn’t want to fall, it would become tense and rigid and would just be a bag of broken bones upon landing.
In the same way, we are all falling out of a tree, at every moment of our lives. As a matter of fact, the moment we were born we were kicked off a precipice and we are falling—and there is nothing we can do to stop it.
So, instead of living in a state of constant tension and clinging to all sorts of things that are actually falling with us—because the whole world is impermanent—be like a cat. Don’t resist it.”
In other words, when you look around you—and inside yourself—you may be more aware than ever before of the ephemeral, unstable, changing nature of the Earth Game. And if you ask yourself, “Why is this happening to me?” Remember there’s alway only one answer: It’s ALL happening for healing and growth. So, in any situation, if we shine our heart-lights on whatever the lesson is, rest assured that we will be illuminated and transformed.
For those of you who are experiencing growing pains or suffering on any level, I’ve just posted a new article that I hope will help. It’s on the writings page of my website, and you can click here to access: “ON PLEASURE, JOY AND BLISS.”
I’m also offering a new series of workshops for women aligned with this theme. Here’s the info:

For a timely closing, I’d like to share one of my all-time favorite song lyrics by Leonard Cohen:
“There is a crack, a crack in everything. That’s how the Light gets in”
Accordingly, the coming attractions are more cracks in everything—in the world and in each and every one of us: cracks in the culture, cracks in the system, cracks in the infrastructure, cracks in our beliefs, cracks in our bodies—all cracking open our hearts wider still, to allow more Light in, shining through our bodies and radiating joy in Being.
Sending out the good stuff,
J O A N
