With the what-is-real/what-is-imaginative Saturn/Neptune Square coloring the kairos/zeitgeist last year, is it any surprise that "surreal" was voted the Word of the Year for 2016?
Read MoreIt's quite the week!
We're in a swirl of surrender and softening as we approach the last of the Saturn/Neptune Squares.
And the sensing that a sea change is occurring and yet the horizon not clear owing to a feeling of fogginess and blur is enhanced owing to us being in between Eclipses.

Read MoreThis month’s New Moon is also a Solar Eclipse. Even if we can’t see an Eclipse in the sky where we live, these celestial events are renowned for being very powerful in the way in which they can impact our lives.
