May Something Good Happen To You Today

goodCheryl Richardson – There are some days when I feel a sincere sense of weariness at the state of our world and I just want to find a small island in the middle of nowhere – one without internet or telephones – where I can fashion a small hut out of random sticks that will shelter me from the sun as I stare at the water for hours on end.

But then there’s reality.

Thursday was one of those days. By the afternoon I felt restless and spent and decided to run an errand in the hopes that a change of scenery would somehow shift my inner landscape. It worked. But not in the way I expected. Continue reading

High Heart Online

powerLorna Bevan – One of the most important things the restrictions of 2020 taught us is that it’s about making the most of our lives together. January 28th’s Full Moon in heart-centred, creative Leo is switching our High Hearts online. Our whole lives are relationships.

Instead of looking for help from above, instead of expecting someone somewhere to do something, Saturn and Jupiter in Aquarius turn us to face each other, as if seeing ourselves for the first time.

Sabian Symbol for the Lunar Month: “the music of the spheres”

The Moon moves to Aries and the inner fire comes back to life!

Several themes are in play today:

GRATIFICATION: Something that we have wanted to clear, clean, and release happens. When something that has eluded us is achieved or completed, it is delicious. This may come in the form of something rather minor or trivial, but important to you. It is symbolic of gratification of something larger that is on the way. So there’s wisdom in how we clear, clean, or release something today because we can apply that method or action to something bigger. This may make better sense if you read it again later. The concept is deep, but we have ample energy to see right through and “get it” today, as the Earth moves to the energetic degree of the Sabian symbol “an x-ray photograph.” (The other extreme of this would be issues related to the desire for instant gratification, jealousy, envy, stealing, impatience, and childishness.)

Collaboration, Adaptation And Risk: Innovate or Die

riskCharles Hugh Smith – One feature of capitalism that is rarely discussed is the premium placed on cooperation and collaboration. The Darwinian aspect of competition is widely accepted (and rued) as capitalism’s dominant force, but cooperation and collaboration are just as intrinsic to capitalism as competition. Subcontractors must cooperate to assemble a product, suppliers must cooperate to deliver the various components, distributors must cooperate to get the products to retail outlets, employees and managers must cooperate to reach the goals of the organization, and local governments and communities must cooperate with enterprises to maintain the local economy.

Darwin’s understanding of natural selection is often misapplied. In its basic form, natural selection simply means that the world is constantly changing, and organisms must adapt or they will expire. The same is true of individuals, enterprises, governments, cultures and economies. Darwin wrote:“It is not the strongest of the species that survives, or the most intelligent, but the ones most adaptable to change.”

Ideas, techniques and processes which are better and more productive than previous versions will spread quickly; those who refuse to adapt them will be overtaken by those who do. These new ideas, techniques and processes trigger changes in society and the economy that are often difficult to predict. Continue reading
