THE PASSING OF THE STORM.

by Rachelle Hicks

As we wrap up December of 2021, we are finally exiting the “perfect storm” that has defined the past few years. Since January 2020, we have experienced a collision of multiple astrological storms which have forever transformed our global community, as well as having completely reshaped everyone’s value system on an individual level.

So, you might be asking, what next? What does 2022 have in store for us? (Under everyone’s breath, a whisper of “please don’t say another perfect storm”) While I am happy to tell you that the intensity is certainly going to wane (astrologically speaking), we still have to negotiate who we are and what we are doing, going forward. 2022 is going to bring some loosening of the tangles and knots and confusion that many people have found themselves in over the past few years.

I spoke extensively about our transition into The Era Of Air in the Winter 2020 issue of Positive Life Magazine, and I mentioned that in 2021, we cross a threshold from a 200 year period of “earth consciousness” to a new 200 year period of “air consciousness”. In a nutshell, earth consciousness places the collective values more on security, boundaries and all things matter; while air consciousness places the collective value more on community, the sharing of ideas,

technology and information. You don’t have to investigate too much to see how this shift has already manifested from last century to this century. From a more immediate vantage point, the beginning of the year of 2022 is marked with a very auspicious conjunction of Jupiter and Neptune in their home sign of Pisces. Jupiter is a planet that represents optimism, growth, possibilities and expansion. Neptune is a planet of spirituality, unconditional love and dissolving boundaries. The sign they are joining in is Pisces, which is a symbol of unity, peace and service to the collective. The primary time frame for this event is from February until June of 2022, meaning that we might find a lot of the crunch and intensity of the past few years dissolving into something more compassionate, optimistic and understanding. While this is a very positive astrological event to look forward to, there are no astrological events that are inherently “good” or “bad”. So, the positives for this in the world could show themselves as dissolving divisions, an increase of compassion and understanding of others, higher learning and spiritual growth. However, we might need to be cautious of unrealistic expectations, projecting illusions, feeling like a victim and deception. In all things, the first half of 2022 is an excellent time to focus on your personal energetic practices. Use the higher notes of compassion to elevate your energy and pitch a tent in your heart centre.
