“So Hum” means “I Am” in Sanskrit. When expressed, it is meant to identify your reality – a reality that is Universal. It is not a phrase used simply for self-identification, i.e., I Am Tracey; I Am a life coach; I Am my parents’ child. The broader meaning is that of being one with everything, i.e., I Am You; I Am We; I Am All. This is the mantra I was taught to internalize while meditating, inhaling “So” while exhaling “Hum,” and incorporating this practice has been my most successful attempt at being silent and present in a world that is noisy and disconnected. Through moments of serenity, I begin to see myself as part of a larger whole. I can see that I Am a living, breathing extension of all humanity.
This, I suspect, is what Martin Luther King, Jr. meant when he said, “I am what I am because of who we all are."

#JeSuisCharlieHebdo; #JeSuisAhmed; #JeSuisNigeria; I am all of these things, and so are you dear reader. There is no divide. Just as we as a people can march peacefully for civil rights, we as a people do the world a disservice when we turn a blind eye to the denial of human rights. It is no longer acceptable to delay societal, environmental or individual progress by asking the same question time and time again, “What can I do?” Just do. One small step for man really is one giant leap for mankind, and the future is as much my responsibility as it is yours. Whether you are an artist, astrologer, attorney, biochemist, executive assistant, mother, Muslim, teacher, or student, your service is needed.
The Sun will move into the sign of Aquarius on Wednesday, January 20th, and shortly after, there will be a New Moon. People often confuse Aquarius with being a Water sign. But it is actually an Air sign that operates in the realm of innovation and ideas. The Zodiac symbol for Aquarius the Water Bearer is that of a man pouring Spirit and ether (not water) for humanity to consume. I should add that this sign has a reputation for giving the shirt off its back if needed, and they are the friendliest people you will ever meet. Combine this with Mars’ transit through the compassionate energy of Pisces, and we are further encouraged to find new ways of contributing to our fellow sisters and brothers. The Universe’s message is quite clear. Just do.
FYI, Mercury Retrograde starts the day after the New Moon, and will be in effect through February 11th. This means that you may have to do some extra planning before manifesting your vision for our future (yours and mine). But this is only one blip in a bigger process.
