What is this craziness?

I wrote to Pam Younghans, astrologer extraordinaire, because I've been feeling so weird lately.  Here are excerpts from our exchange:

I was wondering if perhaps you could shed some light on a feeling shared by several people I know – including me.  I have had a very difficult time DOING anything productive over the past couple of weeks.  I have a houseful for Christmas, and our tree has been naked in its stand for two weeks.  I have to push myself to get anything done, preferring the almost hypnotic cocoon of Spider Solitaire to just about any other activity.  Family members have mentioned how lazy they have been.  Friends have been having a hard time attending to important issues in their lives.

 

It's just weird.  I'm not depressed.  I'm actually quite happy in spite of all the uncertainty around me.  But, I'm just not wanting to do any of my long list of to-do's.

 And to think that just a couple of weeks ago, it was the exact opposite.  I felt pushed almost like a crazy person to finalize things and get them out of the way.

It's a little crazy-making.  And it doesn't feel like me. 

Here's Pam's initial reply:

I think it has something to do with being bored with the third dimension. Parts of us, still mostly outside of our conscious mind's ability to perceive, are playing with higher dimensional thought and experience. Our conscious mind is aware enough to know there's new and exciting stuff happening on higher levels of consciousness, but not yet aware enough to participate fully. So everything, even those things we would often enjoy on this earthly plane, can feel dry and uninviting -- something like knowing we can see colors the way bees do, but having to settle for the (still beautiful, but pale-in-comparison) colors that human eyes can see.

Astrologically, it corresponds with the Pluto-Uranus square, with Uranus in Aries representing a strong desire to awaken to higher consciousness, and Pluto in Capricorn representing the powerful attachment to reality that can block that higher awareness.

And then she added:

It also seems that we are simply tired of the old ways of handling reality. A part of us knows there are more expansive, higher-vibrational ways of utilizing this human existence, and we're just done with the old methods, even though we may not yet be consciously up to speed with the new. Many things that we've always enjoyed and appreciated -- including our work -- feel like they're a part of the old, so we are restless and don't feel the same energy around them as we have in the past.

Again, the Pluto-Uranus square at work. The conflict between the urgency to find and embrace the new (Uranus in Aries) vs. the reality that deep transformation takes time (Pluto in Capricorn). It's challenging to find inspiration in what seems like our old world, based on this.

It does feel as though we – those of us who are conscious – have a foot in each world.  In the Vimala System, the Ligature Be/be represents "Dancing Between Two Worlds."  Be/be was my Ligature of 2013 and I did not envision it manifesting in my life as it has.  Especially since what I'm experiencing these days seems much more of a "lurching" than a "dancing."

What do you think?
