Here are suggestions to guide us through the coming shifts in the weather patterns.

The Earth is changing and all her inhabitants will feel the pressure.
As she is moved by larger forces in relation to our solar system, we
are by nature influenced by the energies that are part of this
intricate design.

As the energy shifts it will effect the local and global environments.
It's not possible to predict all the tornadoes, or earthquakes, or
weather patterns, especially if the patterns we have gotten used to are
revised over time. However, there are a few ways to evolve with the
climate.

First, find ways to filter your air and water, and to supply heat in
case the electric grid goes down for a long period of time. Roads can
be blocked and that will prevent oil, gas and other supplies from being
transported. Have some stock of food for your family and animals that
does not require cold storage or cooking. Then keep a bit of cash on
hand so you are not dependent on the web, or banks for assets.

Along the way you may search for help from government or other
authorities but you may find some information and then be disappointed
or misled. It's better for you to rely on your instincts and trade
skills with those you trust locally.

A good idea is to watch your animals and native wildlife for signs of
changes in their behavior. Their senses are much sharper and will alert
us if we are listening. Just like a cat who hides from loud noises, or
birds who collectively silence themselves before a storm.

While you have time, to look for ways to shore up water sources and live
peacefully side by side, or move to new location.

Rain and drought can trade places in certain areas. It has happened
several times before in Earth's history, over millions of years. The
Grand Canyon is an obvious example. Water, which takes many forms,
including rain, rivers, lakes, ocean currents, clouds, snow, glaciers,
ice caps, and every combination will be changing in quality and form.

Some groups of people who have taken life for granted will face unusual
hardships, some who have lived a modest life will find unexpected grace
that didn't exist before.

If people are caught unawares, there will be trials and hardship, but
more relief to follow as with every cycle. However, the simpler your
lifesyle, the more your senses can be open to knowing what to do, you
are free to move on with fewer burdens to deal with.

Now is a good time to sort out what is important, make peace with your
loved ones, and give away the rest. Life in its purest sense is all we
really have anyway.

In the end, where ever you in consciousness is where you continue. This
may involve a whole new life or point of view in which to continue the
journey.

Waves of Change are on the way......

All of life on our little planet is bound by the laws of physics. The elements of wind, water and fire are the most fluid, weaving through wildlife and nature, but is balanced by the sturdy, solid crust of the earth.

On a broader scale, we are living in an ocean of cosmic energies, some measureable some not, however, we can calculate and observe phenomena and make correlations.

My scientist friends think it is silly to watch the stars for the seasons of change they predict on Earth, but astrology does have a history of probabilities that can be monitored.

Uranus the planet of creativity and invention, is now at 14* in the watery sign of Pisces. It is a unifying sign and all things related are expected to be under revision during the next 5 years.

While Uranus spent 7 years in Aquarius, an air sign which rules cultural intellect and humanity, we saw the networks of communications and the electronics boom.

Before that, Uranus was plodding through the solid earth sign of Capricorn. During that transit awareness of the energetic properties of rocks and crystals came to light in a broader way.

So in relation to water, we will see new issues come to the surface. Quality and treatments of potable resources which we have come to accept, will be under revision. Recycling used water will be more important.

Water changes forms too, like the Polar caps melting into the oceans, raising sea level concerns for fragile islands, eroding coastlines or saturating the ground causing more landslides.

The recent increase in hurricanes, typhoons, and tsunamis during the last 7 years is more proof this is true. We may be more affected by the frequency and magnitude of these in coming years.

An aspect of this transit that is reflected in consciousness may be the softening of the 'spiritual warrior'. Self help gurus and preachers that have built a following, may find that their congregations do not want to hear rhetoric anymore. Humans who have been working on their own sensitivity will likely pay more attention to their inner voices, intuition, or dreams.

If you know about your own astrology charts, all the planets in the water signs will be touched by this gradual transit. You will feel it especially if your sun or rising signs are in Pisces, Scorpio or Cancer.

Whatever happens, it is sure to bring some surprises, because that's what Uranus does to energy, shifts the stream for creative insights and solutions.
