What a beautiful day for the advent of fall, the Autumnal Equinox. It inspires me to share my evolving world philosophy. Friday in my kundalini yoga class, teacher Bill referred to the Age of Aquarius. Being a child of the Hair generation, I was curious and Googled the topic. Apparently there is disagreement among astrologers as to the actual time of the Age of Aquarius, but many believe that each astrological age, determined by the alignment of stars and planets, occurs every 2000 years, and that the "dawn" of the Age of Aquarius coincides roughly with the beginning of this millenium. According to Jude Currivan, PHD [www.judecurrivan.com], "At dawn on 14th February [2009] the Cosmos actually embodie[d] this perfect alignment to support our collective manifestation of love and peace and dawning of the Age of Aquarius." Vera Reid (astrologer) said, "The destiny of humankind in the Age of Aquarius is the revelation of truth and the expansion of consciousness." [Vera W Reid, Towards Aquarius, 1971] According to Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi [www.adishakti.org/age_of_aquarius.htm] we are already experiencing a revival of spirit among the new generation." The Age of Aquarius will be a time when "everything becomes unified. All our differences, all our dualities mix together like the fragrances of a flower shop...Our individual worth comes from inside, from what we have inside, through our development, our evolution, and what we can give to society...This is the era of peace, of unity, of love."

In the words of the song from Hair, "When the Moon is in the seventh house, and Jupiter aligns with Mars, then peace will guide the planets, and love will steer the stars." I want to believe this.

Medical update: Last week I was able to get both chemo treatments. I continue to feel great if just a little tired. Next week is my last week. Yeah!
