What we’re about
Welcome to the Astrology Collective
Now is the time to unite the Soul and the World. Now is the time to see the sunlight dancing as one with the shadows.
I love this Rumi quote. It encapsulates our inner longing to infuse the material side of our existence with the Higher Love, Wisdom, and Intuitive Understandings of our Soul.
Of all the help we may receive upon the way, Astrology is one of the most valuable, shining the light of understanding on our quest to know ourselves as Spiritual Beings having an earthly experience. Our quest has always been so: to know ourselves as an earthly personality in service to, and as an expression of, our greater Self, our Soul.
But now there is another layer, another point of growth we feel with a sense of urgency. Yes, we are individuals, wounded, gifted, vulnerable, strong. We are capable of self-interest, catering to our fears, our longings to fill that empty bucket with a hole in it: but equally capable of acts of great selflessness, wisdom, compassion, and sacrifice for the love of other beings.
With the help of astrology and our own inner bravery, we may learn to stand with our feet on the ground and our arms to heaven, in the centre of our own shadow and light. And this is all necessary. But right now, we are learning how to take this even further. We are learning how to be community: how to embrace our unique individuality whilst discovering our connectedness in mind, heart, and soul. Right now, we stand in this special place at the end of our civilization as we have known it. We all, deep within our hearts, know that we must create a better world, a more loving, equal, and inclusive world. Many of us are living with some form of grief, uncertainty, or hope for a better future. And it is bigger than just our personal lives (though it may be manifesting there as well). We truly are living in an end time. What will Pluto in Aquarius bring? What will our own hearts and Souls manifest? To create a different world, we must tell a different story. Firstly, become aware of the stories we are living with. How much has advertising and materialist culture inhabited our brains and set our priorities? How do we step out of the ingrained habits we live by? For me, Mother Earth has whispered to me in the night and the soft light of morning that our healing, planetary healing, requires us to rediscover our deep shamanic connection to the Earth itself. It is rebalance to a more grounded, deeper and more loving reality. Astrology, as part of our story telling, also needs to reconnect with the earth. This is going to become a greater focus with the Astrology Community as we walk on the path together.
A new earth, a better society. It is a task that seems more enormous that we can imagine. But like all tasks, one step at a time. The Astrology Collective, our community, is my first step. In our community we value and support your journey, each of you, as well as the collective. Those of you who have joined or are going to join our community, I love the fact that I am walking this path with you. Much gratitude Lynette

Astrology Collective Mighty NetworksWe are not here to fit in, be well balanced, or provide exempla for others. We are here to be eccentric, different, perhaps strange, perhaps merely to add our small piece, our little clunky, chunky selves, to the great mosaic of being. As the gods intended, we are here to become more and more ourselves. (James Hollis: 'What Matter Most: Living a More Considered Life')

Mars is our libido. It is our energy pack we switch on to move out into the world to actualise our desires, big and small. Learning to command our own energy to express and actualise our desires is an essential part of becoming an autonomous, empowered adult.
But wait, there’s more. When we use this energy unconsciously, we are at the beck and call of greater societal forces that motivate us to ‘think’ we know what we need or want, but in reality, we are being manipulated to buy the ‘right products’, make up, video games, cars (you get my drift) to feed the machines of commerce. We think we are in charge, but we are not. This does explain the dissatisfaction that comes directly after the euphoria of many material or emotional attainments.Lucky for us, this is where the deeper and truer purpose of Mars comes into play. For the Divine discontent we often feel upon reaching goals leads us to an increasing removal of the veils that hide our deepest truest desires. And these are the desires of the Soul. To find our truest expression, our task in the world that will lead us to more light, more love, more goodwill towards others and a proper understanding of what right relationships actually are. Hooray. This my friends, is the journey we are on with Mars. Thank you, Mars. 😊
Transiting Mars will be activating those Houses in your chart that are spanned by Cancer and Leo. There is something there that needs to be peeled back. Needs to become more authentic. Mars opposite Pluto gives great power and gravitas to this process. It is not a small thing for any of us. With Mars in Cancer, we are being asked to revisit our understanding of security and safety and to bring those understandings from an instinctual level to a higher intuitive understanding. With Leo we are being asked to know oneself in order to let go of oneself, to serve the collective from the Heart. Pluto will confront us with whatever is holding us back in this endeavour. So join us, and lets speculate and explore.
