(Note - unfortunately, for some reason, the first minute and forty two seconds didn’t record clearly as I introduced and listened to Prince’s Planet Earth, so you can skip my head bobbing and start with my narrative!!)
Imagine holding Planet Earth
In the palm of your hand
With no regard for your place of birth
Or claim to any land
The only thing between us now is the truth we understand
If Planet Earth was in the palm of your hand
Fifty years from now what will they say about us here?
Did we care for the water and the fragile atmosphere?
There are only two kinds of folk
And the difference they make
The ones that give
And the ones that take
Just like the countless bodies
That revolve around the Sun
Planet Earth must now come into balance with the one
That caused it all to be
Then we'll see His kingdom come
So shall it be written, so shall it be sung
Imagine you could rid the Earth
Of anyone you choose
Which ones would you need the most
And which ones would you lose?
Do we want to judge another
Lest we be judged too?
Careful now
The next one might be you
Just like the countless bodies
That revolve around the Sun
Planet Earth must now come into balance with the one
That caused it all to be
Then we'll see His kingdom come
So shall it be written, so shall it be sung
Imagine sending your first born
Off to fight a war
With no good reason how it started and what they are fighting for
And if they're blessed to make it home
Will they still be poor?
Pray for peace right now and forever more
Just like the countless bodies
That revolve around the Sun
Planet Earth must now come into balance with the one
That caused it all to be
Then we'll see His kingdom come
So shall it be written, so shall it be sung
Just like the countless bodies
That revolve around the Sun
Planet Earth must now come into balance with the one
That caused it all to be
Then we'll see His kingdom come
So shall it be written, so shall it be sung

Planet Earth lyrics © Universal Music Publishing Group
Released in 2007 having experienced a Pluto-Ceres transit and during his Jupiter-Ceres transit, Prince’s lyrics hold relevant to this day as Saturn and Ceres forge a new paradigm this week, just as they did on the 13th of January 2020, a time that heralded so much awareness of how ill we are as a world. The seeds to plant a new consciousness are within your hands and capabilities. And you can make a difference, regardless of how tired, stressed out or distracted by the overwhelming negativity and destruction that you read or listen to that is taking place in the world. Small changes grow, and this week is an opportunity to engage more consciously with sanctifying your world.
I’m not an authority on many matters I discuss in the 35 minute long vide, but I know that you can make a difference to this world, by making changes within your own world, whether that is consciously making decisions about what you watch, put into your body and what you read/ listen to. Embodied change is stronger and more impressive than writing or talking about it, or indeed complaining about the world. By altering what you eat, how you eat, where you eat; by changing the language you use to talk about yourself, and here I am referring to the inner language; by blessing anyone who comes into your life and engaging with them as a spiritual being, not as a person are but a few throw away ideals that can shift your relationship with Ceres but will have a ‘butterfly’ impact on our world.
Conjunctions are powerful invitations to start afresh, and this week’s invitation is to take seriously your commitment to self-nourishment, knowing that as you truly take care of yourself, it sends ripples out into the Akasha from which ‘we’ can ‘download’.
