I just listened to a 30 something lady on a local facebook. She said that she had Covid 19 though they didn't have the means to test her., but they tested her for Flu and something else, and she tested negative. So that is why they said she had the virus. This is a small town. I came back from Walmart.I'm sure I've been exposed.
Jeanne, i'm grateful that you post what you see and don't sugar coat it. I don't want to shy away from reality or be unprepared for it when it does hit. there is so much freedom in the truth. Even when you post things that are hard to hear- if people aren't ready to hear them they won't. Everyday we see the painful truth of that playing out in America.
Here's a 20 minute read from Der Spiegel about the shortcomings of the German healthcare system in the face of the coronavirus. They're dealing with many of the same problems the US is dealing with: a shortage of nurses that has grown acute in the past 10 years; declining numbers of primary care physicians compared to highly paid specialists (anesthesiologists, orthopedic surgeons, etc.); an unwillingness of hospitals to forgo lucrative nonessential surgeries (like hip replacements) even as a health crisis looms; and shortages, price gouging, and outright theft of basic protective equipment (some hospital associations in Germany, like their American counterparts, are also asking citizens to sew surgical masks for them).
I'm not trying to excuse the gross shortcomings of the American system, but this piece illustrates that even in countries that are supposed to have universal health coverage, the picture isn't so rosy when you take a closer look. The main problem, I think, is that all modern healthcare infrastructures, no matter the country, are tethered to growth-based economics, and the growth-based economic model is tethered to the declining energy return on energy invested (EROEI) that defines the fossil fuel industry. The top heavy global healthcare landscape will face a reckoning because of the pandemic, but so too will the basic principles of our economic paradigm.
I just heard that Amy Klobuchar's husband is hospitalized in DC with the virus. He is on oxygen. He self-quarantined at home for about a week with a fever (100+) and bad cough. I can't recall whether his test results were in by the time he was hospitalized. She said he was in DC and she was in Minnesota during the two week period he was probably exposed and became ill. Amy said the worst part is she can't see him in the hospital. She's on Capitol Hill, working to pass this relief package. She looked so worn out and sad, it broke my heart. Let us keep them in our prayers.
The trees talked to me. The Moon told me in 2013 what was going to happen. They know and we know too. And because we have the sacred gift of radically understanding the interconnectivity of all beings, we also get to see the future and past.
Jeanne, our dear friend and seer sister, thank you. I'm so grateful you're here, and that you've been sharing your visions with the world (and with us!), whether or not it was ready for them.
This post was so beautifully written. ?
I share a similar experience in that I've been shown the unraveling for some time (since approximately 2008), even if I sometimes pretended not to see it. It's easier on the heart to focus on the hint of light at the edges of change, as all of us have done here and there.
This is a period of great and terrible transition: it's both a crisis and an opportunity.
A great many souls are suddenly exiting, and that's confusing for them and for all of us. Our planet is in chaos; we are in chaos. We're fractious and divided and often anxious or angry. We need to be able to feel that. We need to be able to look at futures we don't want to see, to feel things we don't want to feel but that are present and real regardless. We need to find ways to make a container for the things that are difficult, and stand together to hold it.
That's how we create resilience. Only resilience generates new and higher possibilities, like a portal to a new kind of light.
Everything isn't just gonna go back to "normal." We are an existential threat to ourselves and to countless other species. Every 24 hours, something like 200 species of insect, birds, or animals is vanishing because of us.
Humans make necessary but difficult change one of two ways: they either read the signs and symptoms on the wind and consciously choose to alter every necessary thing in order to address the problem ahead, or life meets them with a crisis and they're forced. Most of us only change by crisis, which is why we are now living through a structural overhaul. And it's deeply necessary for our survival. Banking systems, food industry, healthcare services, countless other human endeavors are being upended. One way or another, systems and institutions as we know them will have to adapt.
But this isn't the end of humanity. It's more... a beginning, I feel. We're such a young race, after all.
Another way of saying it:
Pluto has been transiting Capricorn, striking through every "Tower" like a fiery axe. Today, Pluto was joined by Mars, making that axe into a laser.
In the morning, there will be a New Moon at 4-degrees of Aries, tightly conjunct Chiron (our collective wounds/what we need to heal) and square to the lunar nodes (where we are collectively going, and who we have been up to now). A square is a challenging aspect; it demands growth.
On the 31st, Mars will have joined Saturn at 0-degrees (intense) of Aquarius. This is another laser, perhaps of a martial or military nature, and it impacts the collective (Aquarius), not just some people.
All of these energies are part of a clearing: a wound is being lanced. (You have to cut out the infection before the body can begin to heal itself.)
By the Winter Solstice, December 21, of this year, Jupiter and Saturn will form a conjunction in the first degree of Aquarius. This is called "the great conjunction," and occurs once in a generation. It marks the dawning of a new era, one we've been hearing about since at least the 60s. When Jesus of Nazareth was born, the great conjunction occurred in Pisces incidentally. Now the Piscine age is coming to its end.
Transitions are painful, but necessary. They also tend to reveal whatever is most beautiful and good and true.
Something happened yesterday. My youngest child, special needs, came inside just frantic for me to stop what I was doing and come outside. When I went out, sitting right there a few feet in front of our gate, was a bunny. Brown, medium-sized, cute, eating some kind of leafy weed. It looked at me, not afraid, and kept eating.
I felt like crying for a moment. It was just so weirdly normal. This rabbit had no idea of the world's chaos, and its calmness, coupled with my child's excitement, was just what I needed to remind me, once again of the necessary appreciation for simple things.
I have always found your writing to be optimistic on the whole. It's what drew me to your site, I suppose to you. Of course, I dream of a future that I can place myself in that is much more egalitarian - to me, it's not the good old days, it's the future's so bright, and I live there when I'm zoned on what I do. In that vein, we're really just going through the death gasps of the rabid robber baron who is oblivious the pendulum has already begun to swing the other way.
Abundant gratitude to you for this beautiful post. I read it at bedtime, after a day that involved a lot of work with anxiety: a flash of the fear followed by breathing and grounding and gratitude, then back to my day's work until the next flash of fear, etc. It brought me peace that helped me ease into sleep.
Seeing comes from connecting and loving. If you didn't know that you could see the world deeply enough to see it in the future, then you can learn. The point is not to do a parlor trick. The point is to connect and love so deeply that you see and you hear and you feel the world.
Thank you for this reminder that feeling the fear and pain of the world is an intrinsic part of feeling love and the connection between everyone and everything. There can be no compassion without willingness to feel pain--your own and that of others. Like you said, we can find strength in knowing we are not alone, we are a community. And after this storm passes, we need to hold onto that strength and the lessons we are given so that we can fight together to dismantle and rebuild the systems that cause harm to so many beings.

When i am my weariest the gems appear and my spirit knows and reminds me that no matter what I will be o.k. My family will be o.k. this group and our bigger communities will be o.k. and no matter the depth and the breadth and the great losses to come, we will still go on and we all will be o.k.
I will wake to a new and glorious sunrise and go to sleep with the peace of understanding of the need for each new sunset. I can understand and accept so many necessary endings in order to understand and rejoice in so many new beginnings.
And as that intense and incredible and never ending story of just being present in that love and in that joy will fill my heart with so much power and compassion and knowing that all will be well. No matter how immensely painful it often is for me now
Not in the state of chaos and disintegration and loss and suffering but because of the acceptances of all of it and so much more to come and the understanding of the need for it all.
That is why i don't give up when all is broken, nothing is working and i know the losses and missings will be so huge and unrelenting for many, many hard years ahead.
The love i feel here is so great and so healing that it fills me to bursting. Bless you my sweet sister-friends (and brother-friends as well).
Bless you and thank you all for being in my life now.
