Every year around this time, our brilliant astrologer, Jane Sezak, sends her reading for the coming year. Transits, progressions, angles, aspects, conjunctions, dates, planets. The whole thing is exhilarating and overwhelming. Last year, there was a six week period when something BIG was supposed to happen. When it didn’t materialize, I was crushed. In the twenty years Jane has been doing our readings, that was a first. Later, I realized that the big thing was not the publisher for my book that I had hoped for, but news that my daughter was pregnant.
It’s not about predicting specific outcomes, but seeing patterns, and big confluences. I like that – makes me feel more connected to the universe in ways I can’t control or understand.
This year, I have a wish list: more dancing, more teaching, more wonderful clients, more travel, more time with my daughters and my new baby grand daughter. More reading, more hanging out by the pool, or the lake or the river or the sea. More excellent meals with friends and my beloved Pam. More delicious rides, more kissing horses noses, dogs heads and petting cats. More slow time, tender time, playtime, breathing time, loving time.
And that’s just a beginning.
. In the chapter on autism, a mother says to her husband that after parenting a severely autistic child for many years, she feels that they have less of each other than they did earlier in their marriage.Having witnessed a marriage that holds a severely autistic child, I can see how that could be true. I can see how it could be true of any relationship. I can also see other choices.
