We interrupt your regularly scheduled newsletter and horoscopes to offer
insights about the virus-driven turning point that the whole world is now
experiencing.
As you've probably guessed, all of us are being invited to re-evaluate
everything we think we know about what it means to be human. I refer to
this unprecedented juncture as The Tumultuous Upgrade or The
Disruptive Cure. It's a phase fraught with danger and potential
opportunities; crisis and possible breakthroughs.
And while the coronavirus is the primary driving force, it won't be the
only factor. We must be ready for more Rough, Tough Healings disguised
as Bumpy Challenges in the coming months.
Here's the astrological lowdown: Throughout 2020, there is a rare
confluence of three planets in Capricorn: Pluto, Saturn, and Jupiter. They
are synergizing and compounding each other's impacts—interweaving in
ways that confound us and rattle us. In the best-case scenario, they will
also energize us to initiate brave transformations in our own personal
lives as well as in our communities and nations.
Below is a profile of each planet's meaning.
When we are in intense and intimate relationship with Pluto—as we are
now—we're invited to dive down deeper: to see life from the soul's
perspective rather than from the ego's; to seek wealth and meaning not as
they're defined by the material world but as they're understood by the
part of us that's eternal. Descending into the mysterious Plutonian depths
can be disruptive to our conscious beliefs and intentions, but may
ultimately be profoundly regenerative.
When we are in intense and intimate relationship with Saturn, we're
invited to get more serious and focused; to register the fact that we don't
have unlimited time and energy, but must firmly decide what's important
and what's not. We're asked to be ruthlessly honest about the roles that
are most likely to bring out the best in us.
When we are in intense and intimate relationship with Jupiter, we're
invited to risk growth and expansion; to take proactive responsibility for
seeking the rich experiences that our souls long for; to aggressively
enhance our lust for life.
The Tumultuous Upgrade is coming to us through the potent mix of
Plutonian, Saturnian, and Jupiterian energies. In the future, I hope to
address how you might take advantage of this Disruptive Cure to
transform your philosophy of life and your relationship to humanity's
greater good.
The short version: Use this crisis as an opportunity to deepen your
understanding of how profoundly interconnected we all are. Respond to it
by upgrading the way you take care of yourself, the people you love, and
our natural world.
In the horoscopes below, I suggest personal shifts that will be available to
you during this once-in-a-lifetime blend of planetary energies.

MORE PRONOIA RESOURCES:
From a friend in Spain: "There was a call on social media in Spain to go to
balconies and windows at 10 pm and give a huge ovation to thank and
support hospital workers. It’s 10:05 and I can hear the roar of applause
from everywhere."
Italians found a moment of joy in this time of Anxiety. Under lockdown to
prevent the spread of the coronavirus, Italians broke out in song from
rooftops, balconies, and windows.

YOU ALWAYS HAVE MORE HELP THAN YOU IMAGINE
Both people whom you know and people you don't know could very well
come to your assistance and offer their support if you: 1. believe you
deserve their assistance and support; 2. seek out and ask for their
assistance and support.
There's a higher part of your brain that will also provide you with insight
and guidance if you turn to it in humility and seek its input.
Whether or not you actually believe in spiritual beings, they, too, are
ready to offer unexpected help, support, blessings and resources. If you
don't believe in their existence, I invite you to pretend you do for a while
and see what happens. If you do believe in them, formulate clear requests
for what you'd like them to offer you.
I may also be able to provide you with compassionate guidance, both
through the written horoscopes I provide in this newsletter and the
Expanded Audio Horoscopes I offer online and via telephone.
