World events over the last two decades have made it clear that if humanity is to survive, all peoples will have to come together as a global community. The challenge of the Y2K crisis as the new millenium approached was just an inkling of things to come. The Age of Aquarius began with the threat that computers around the globe would crash as the clock ticked over to the year 2000. The last two years before this momentous date were years of combining the Masculine technological, logical know-how with the more Feminine aspects of cooperation and community to successfully "patch through" to the new millenium.
On September 11, 2001, terrorists launched an attack on American soil. The symbolism of this attack on the World Trade Center in New York City was a clear statement that terrorism is a global threat. People from around the world watched in horror as airplanes were intentionally flown into the Twin Towers and grieved with the American people. For America that day marked a massive loss of life, of structures and most of all a loss of innocence and a false sense of security. No longer did terrorist acts occur only to "the other." Now it was clear that "they" are "us." As a result of those attacks, humanity came together to mourn along with the families of those who lost their lives in those attacks. The Goddess again was calling the global population to work in cooperation and build community.
Politics has changed drastically as the Feminine gains strength. During the last presidential election in the United States, two powerful women, Hillary Clinton and Sarah Palin, predominated. Even though neither was elected to office, the president who was elected is representative of the integration of opposites, having a white mother and a black father. This president has appointed many women to positions of power in his administration since his election.
The planet Herself is doing Her part to bring balance back to a very imbalanced world. Natural disasters of a larger magnitude are occurring with more frequency. Massive earthquakes rock the planet causing even larger quakes in other parts of the world. Following those quakes tsunami warnings are issued for nearly the entire Pacific Ocean. The technology developed during the Age of Pisces is being used in an Aquarian manner to warn those in harm's way. In the midst of disaster, the Goddess brings Her message of unity and unconditional love.
During the period of time when the Native Americans were persecuted a prophecy of hope emerged and was revealed to a very few. According to that prophecy, "When the Grandmothers from the four directions speak, a new time is coming." (quoted from Carol Schaefer's book, Grandmothers Counsel the World.) The first gathering of the International Council of Thirteen Indigenous Grandmothers took place in mid-October, 2004. This Council is made up of thirteen Grandmothers from indigenous tribes around the world. Their message is one of love, forgiveness, and hope for all humanity. They know that through diversity a New World will be created where peace and harmony reign.
The Goddess's return may seem a slow process to those who await Her. Even as the Jews in Biblical times awaited-and still await-the promised Messiah, humanity as whole now waits for the Feminine to return. Many believe that Her return means that She will usurp the throne of the Sun God and establish a matriarchy in opposition to the patriarchy that has ruled for 2,000 years. Some believe that the chaos and destruction in our present world are portents that our planet will be destroyed. Others have even given up hope of a New Age when love, tolerance, understanding and unity prevail.
The Sacred Feminine has been here through the Ages. Often She appears in places where darkness rules, silently watching and waiting for Her children to hear Her message. Other times She seems to wield the power of darkness Herself as humanity is plunged into chaos and confusion. Her message, always one of love and peace, is a reminder that specific events-good or bad-are not so important. It's how humanity chooses to move through those events that matters. She waits to be reunited with her Sacred Partner, and when She is, She will serve as our bridge to the New Age.
