I’ve long been a keen observer of the machinations of the outside world; I watch, and I wonder. I take my time and slowly assimilate what I observe. However, as we descend into the Pluto transit of the United States (once every 246 years) and the shattering of the status quo that will be the hallmark of these coming years, I have begun to see how difficult this rebirth will be for those who are not paying attention or those who are not yet awake. This is going to be ugly. And painful. These shifts will take guts.
