Mistakes happen. They are passing things. You are not to culture them and ruin your day because of them. You misinterpreted something. You have to let it go. A mistake was made. Apologize, and now you let it go, and you stride on. You are a strider. You move ahead in life. You get going in life. You step out of the past. So, you made a mistake. Wash your hands of it. Say Mea culpa once and forget it. The past is not to be an albatross around your neck. I know you. You hold yourself accountable, no one else. So far so good. Give yourself parole from servitude to the past now. Do not sentence yourself to regret and sorrow. Make your peace with what is past.

You are not always what you want to be. You are not always your hero. Part of you is a mistake-maker. Pardon that part of you. Guilt is not part of you. Guilt is a sorry add-on, and you are not to add guilt to your self-prescribed list of crimes. Even if no one else forgives you, forgive yourself. Forgiving yourself means to let whatever the mistake was go into the trash. That’s where disappointments in yourself have to go. You can’t store anymore past regrets. In fact, it’s time you tossed away those certain mistakes and even the possible ones. Give them a farewell if you must but get them out of your sight. To recollect them is like collecting flies. What would you keep them for? If you must atone, atone to the past by moving forward now.

This pending week contains a drastic shift on January 20, starting the zodiacal month with a true cusp Sun-Moon conjunction! The “controlled expansion” theme gives way to Neptune in his dominion, energized by a close conjunction to Mars, dominating the transits after Sun enters Aquarius. Spirituality, merging with a greater collective, and other Neptunian themes will characterize the feel of the transits.

Neptune also changes from the fifth to sixth degree of Pisces this week. The current Sabian symbol for Neptune as I write this is “Officers on dress parade” and the Sabian symbol associated with Neptune will shift to one of my favorites, “A cross lying on rocks”. Neptune’s powerful imagery coalesces from a display of authority to directly alluding to the Christ energy. A week to consider how personal sacrifice and awareness of the source has a role in your life, with humanitarian causes, friendships, and aspirations that you wish to work towards in the mix.

What might this week portend for you? Consider your Sun sign and rising sign/ascendant as well.

“I rebel; therefore we exist.” –Albert Camus

Here’s the thing: the earth is not fucked. The earth will go on evolving with or without us. In fact, in many ways it is better off without us. No, it’s the human world that’s fucked. Either we adapt and overcome by making cooperation primary and competition secondary, or we’re fucked. It really is that simple. Unfucking the world will not be a walk in the park. It will be a complete upheaval of what we think we know about how human beings are “supposed” to live on this planet. We’ll have to turn the tables on our egos, our so called leaders, and even our loved ones. We’ll have to outgrow being indifferent and get used to being different. We’ll have to awaken and clear outdated, multigenerational patterns that need interrogation and then integration at a higher vibration. Here are five ways to attempt unfucking an otherwise fucked up world. Without further ado, let the unfucking begin.

HJ: There is great wisdom in them thar’ negative emotions.  But in all seriousness, ‘difficult’ emotions are the doorway to our most profound level of healing.  They are the flower whose roots lead deep into our hearts and minds and reveal to us those places which still need love and acceptance.  It is only when we deny them or do not heed their lesson that they persist.  When we turn our gaze inwards and let them lead us where they will, we find their source and can then decide if it serves to continue to hold on.

Beyond Happiness: The Upside of Feeling Down

Negative emotions do us a great favor—they save us from ourselves. They’re signals urging us to change what we’re doing— and they’re actually necessary for feeling good

The United States Constitution – it’s the final word of the law from sea to shining sea. But according to the American Civil Liberties Union, if you live within 100 miles of the US border, be it sea or land, your constitutional rights don’t fully apply to you. Specifically, the fourth Amendment of the Constitution.

The fourth amendment, for those who haven’t studied civics in a while, is:

The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized.
