Crash and Burn

Jul 16, 2026

The fire is raging and getting closer – maybe it’s right outside your door! The earth is shaking, and your sense of stability has evaporated. What do you save, what do you take with you? What is important? People usually grab what they love - pets and reminders of people and moments in their lives that have meaning and value. Even if you’re prepared, the question is what happens next? Who can you depend on for support? Big transitions are rocking our world and impacting each of us individually.

Any given year, month, day or minute is just a single point in an ongoing process. July is apparently peak transformation in these ongoing “interesting times”. Neighbor Mars is conspiring with all the outer planets to bring us to the brink of the next thing. Although far away, they are massive in size and influence. Even tiny Pluto is a heavy hitter in this constellation (visit your favourite astrologer for the details.) We don’t have the choice to ignore what’s going on around and within us. Think you can avoid the chaos? Here are words of wisdom to consider:

“For the fortunate amongst us, the fourth danger is comfort; the temptation to follow the easy and familiar path of personal ambition and financial success… But that is not the road history has marked out for us.

There is a Chinese curse which says ‘May he live in interesting times.’ Like it or not, we live in interesting times. They are times of danger and uncertainty; but they are also the most creative of any time in the history of mankind. And everyone here will ultimately be judged - will ultimately judge himself - on the effort he has contributed to building a new world society and the extent to which his ideals and goals have shaped that effort."

- Robert F. Kennedy Sr., 1968  

 Sets, whether we want to be or not! Every person has a significant impact on the whole. How you express that is unique to your gifts and purpose. This knowledge is held deep within,  and cannot be found elsewhere or given to you. It’s an understanding to build on. It’s worth the effort!

How can you be of service?

Peace, love and healing -

A famous quote from Bobby Kennedy's big brother John is “Ask not what your country can do for you—ask what you can do for your country.”
