2026
The entire solar system is whirling through space. In the time that it takes you to read this, we will have covered thousands of kilometres and possible that we are entering an area where our consciousness and intelligence will be upgraded.
Yes, I agree that recent global events suggest the opposite. Yet developing alignments of planets within our solar system haven’t been seen for thousands of years. Both within and without the solar system, we are encountering conditions about which we know nothing.
Tempting as it is to see only a bleak future and the end of this civilisation as we have known it, the opposite may be true:
You know those times when Microsoft says that it needs to update your computer? It always seems to ask at such an inconvenient moment. I think that we (humankind) were offered the chance to do a download last summer when Uranus made brief entry into Gemini.
I suspect that by late April our options for deferring that upgrade will have run out. Indeed, with Uranus conjoining Sedna in Gemini for the first time in thousands of years, and in extra-ordinary formation with both Neptune and Pluto, I think that download will begin in earnest. It could take until to 2028 to conclude or for us to learn new systems.
If I can continue with the analogy, I think that this download will remove viruses – some of which you may not have known were there. Old systems will fall away. Just as we had to learn to move from one version of Windows to another, so we will have to adapt to new ways of working.
The possibilities are exciting. Yes, the journey could be irritating – which is perhaps why it might take us as much as two years to get used to new ways of thinking and working. And yes, in the process many of our old programs will come unstuck.
