Episode #178 Welcoming Aquarius
In a very Aquarian manner (two days late!!) Heidi and Ellen welcome the sign of Aquarius. This is the sign of group work. We ask: What are we building TOGETHER? How can we cooperate and collaborate? What problems can we solve by combining our gifts? How can we better share our resources? How can we heal, together?
They talk about David Lynch (who was actually a Capricorn born on the day the Sun entered Aquarius.
What we talked about in this episode:

POEM
LOW DOWN NOW by Brooke McNamara Stop planning. It’s not going to work this time. There are better ways to do this and you know it. Let’s take a moment to pause and imagine pulling the rug out from under our own feet. Can you see me - reaching down, tugging, grunting, crashing on my own ass? Ridiculous! But it’s good. It’s so good for us to fold, my friend. Low down now, let’s crawl a quiet, curving way forward from our guts — let’s sniff for what, if we were wild again, would feed us, and feed us to the whole.
