Mark Borax: Love is the Force
Thursday April 8, 2010

Astrologer Mark Borax' latest Cosmic Weather Report has a powerful message. Working with clients, he's seeing a regenerative force rising up from the very soul depths. And as each person does this deep healing work -- as part of a collective underworld experience -- it's becoming a movement "to reclaim our planet from the void, and carve magically real lives out of the end time of a false civilization."

He sees that false civilization in the underlying tone of children's movies these days, which he says convey a kind of existential despair. He writes, "Characters feign a calloused cynicism which is supposed to seem sophisticated and up-to-date. Pure open-eyed innocence and wonder have become rare in even the most basic stories we're telling to the young ones." I noticed this with Alice in Wonderland, which with its fake-looking animation and a blase titular character, I nearly walked out on.

He laments that we've forgotten the simple but profound truth of this deeper love force. That in our quest for complex and sophisticated answers, these are just reflections of a false society. He writes, "Modern society has become falser than at any time in history."

Mark's message is that as each of us dare to believe in this regenerative force, we uncover the true and authentic self. Reading this, I thought of how the excavations of Pluto Capricorn may be animated by the coming move of into Uranus Aries. Aries is the spirit of youth, openness to the moment, and there's innocence to that. It's a sign that doesn't have the patience for complexities.

The coming square between these two (Pluto-Uranus) -- looking on the bright side here -- has the power to accelerate soul growth, and provoke us to acting on what we're unearthing. And because of the intensity, it takes bravery, a willingness to trust our own wisdom, and yes, belief that deepest force of all....Love.
