Astrology teaches us that there is a time for everything. There is a time to act and a time to lie low. There is a time to plant and a time to harvest. There is a time to build and a time to let go of what we have created. The movements of the planets teach us to allow the tide of life to carry us to our best destinations rather than to struggle or fight against what is.

Sometimes those destinations might not look too good, and we have reservations or anxiety about going there. This is where we collectively find ourselves now — heading toward destinations most of us feel a little uneasy about. Even those of us who believe a new golden chapter is coming for humanity realize we’re not going to get there without having to cross turbulent waters and battle one or two nine-headed hydras.
