Age of Aquarius Vision Board

In years past around winter solstice I’ve gotten together with friends to create vision boards for what we want to focus on and manifest for the coming year. Sitting amidst piles of magazines looking for an image to represent our intentions, dreams, goals, we always found just the right picture to hold the form of what we envisioned. Or the person sitting next to us found it for us.  The Universe was giving us a mini-illustration in the powers of manifestation right there and then.

The thing about vision boards is that too often we get used to seeing it as just another part of our surroundings. We can lose focus. When that happens manifestation slows down. And we also have to put ourselves in the pictures as we look at them, and really feel it in all of our senses. How often do we take the time to do that in our busy days?

There has been a lot of discussion about the Jupiter and Saturn conjunction that happened at the zero degree in Aquarius on December 21, 2020. Many feel that this is the start of moving into the age of Aquarius. With this conjunction, we feel like we have energetic support from the cosmos and our human collective consciousness to create a new way of being.

What if this year we made a vision board for a new era using the power of the two planets who are working together? They could be like architects, helping us build a state-of-the-art house out of sustainable and recycled materials in a permaculture design setting. What if we dreamed big and put ourselves in the picture living in the world we want to see? What world would we manifest?

Here are some things on the top of my list:

• Compassionate communities will be socially, environmentally, and spiritually conscious, and will arise to solve social problems like hunger, homelessness, healthcare and racism at the local level.
• Military industrial conglomerates will dismantle as fierce diplomacy and courageous communication makes armed conflicts and weapons of war obsolete.
• All remaining old growth trees and forests will be preserved intact, and we find innovative solutions to clean up the waters, the land, and the air.
  

We must imagine ourselves in the world we want to live in, using all our senses. Now more than ever our thoughts have the power to shape our reality. If we just chose one thing to focus on every day for five minutes at the end of our meditation, or before falling asleep, what kind of difference would it make in the world?

Let’s find out. Ready, set, envision!
