Waking Times

For Americans, it’s that time of the year again—time to move your clocks an hour ahead; losing a precious hour of sleep in the process. For many, the time change associated with daylight savings time¹ (DST) also means spending several days or even weeks feeling generally off-kilter.

As reported by Prevent Disease:²

“A study, published in 2007… combined surveys from 55,000 people in central Europe with data on 50 individuals’ sleeping and wakefulness patterns for eight weeks around the shifts to and from daylight saving time.

The researchers found people never fully adjust their circadian rhythms to the hour shift associated with daylight saving time (or, as it is known in Europe, summer time).

The following is an excerpt from my latest book “The Fear Cure”

When we’re willing to view life as the teacher, even in the midst of uncertainty, a journey begins. This journey—some might call it the spiritual path—challenges us to shift from fear of uncertainty to trusting life in the face of that which we can’t know and don’t understand. After interviewing many people about what they’d learned on their own spiritual journeys, I discovered that the journey from fear to freedom, which is all about coming into right relationship with uncertainty, is a predictable journey, one that many have traveled before you and many will travel after you. As you read through the five phases, consider where you are on your own journey. It is a map of sorts and can help you assess where you are on your path.

4 Virgo 50 / 14 Pisces 50

10:05 AM PST / 1:05 PM EST / 60:05 PM GMT

The Virgo Full Moon pulls our minds and spirits into the eruptions of the hyperactive first week of this hyperactive month.

A lot has been changing quickly and drastically, inside and out. We’re all in for some emotional catching up and processing. The question is what to do with our minds, and with each other.

It’s a high stakes moment. We’re nearing the final peak in the radical structural change that has been ongoing since 2012. Uranus and Pluto are setting off one last round of tectonic plate shifts as they move into the last of seven squares on March 16.

Each of them has cosmic assistance in their corner. Bigger-is-better Jupiter has been whipping up Uranus, the unpredictable, rebellious and individuating agent of sudden change. Now this Virgo Full Moon is tilling and moistening the ground being worked over by Pluto, the agent of unavoidable change. What we contemplate, vent and process now pours directly into that ground.
