In Jupiter/Saturn’s shift to the Aquarius Minima and the 200-yr Air Medium, humans are likely to make a serious dash for immortality and the stars.
Striving to overcome the limitations of illness, old age and death will spearhead science and biotechnology even more rapidly upon the customary struggle against unnecessary social conflicts, famines and diseases, even space and time itself. As we have seen already in 2020, above all other value, the most sacred thing in the universe is the worth of human life and we will do everything to preserve it.
No single life – regardless of how young or old – can be considered expendable. And no belief, religion or ideology can sanctify death as something that can be venerated, even tolerated for the sake of ‘sacrifice’ or the virtue of some promised ‘afterlife’, especially when more can be done to help avoid it.
Although the lessons of 2020 are only half complete; where fear and panic still abound like superstitious wildfire; we soon will come to learn to embrace that every effort to reduce, perhaps even eliminate suffering, pain, even death itself becomes the most critical mission of tomorrow’s humanity.
But are death and suffering metaphysical mysteries which we must try to reconcile, or are these merely a technical problem that modern humans become pressed to do their utmost to absolve? And does our greatest dilemma then become the distribution of wealth and power of who can afford better health and even immortality itself?
The next two lunations, featuring Chiron (FM) and Pluto (NM) are very telling, stirring new questions which will dominate some of the major themes of 2021.
Join me on the Cosmic Bus as we begin to entertain some of the coming astrological themes, the next Full Moon (Dec 30) and New Moon (Jan 13).
