MERCURY QUINCUNX URANUS

don't act surprised if you just unsettle the bejeebers out of others (if you let your freak flag fly today)...

At this moment, something urgent and profound is coming through. Though it may seem shocking and totally unexpected, you may soon come to admit that it was indeed expected, you just refused to prepare, and now it's here...

It's been a harsh week, and NEPTUNE opposing MARS has left us exhausted. We can use a little break...

As the Moon slips away into her darkness, we pull back into our habitual nature, scour into our unconscious, looking for parts we need to purge.

The earth is literally quaking under our feet every day now, and what does 'man' do? He politicises everything so that he can lay claim to possessing all the knowledge and power to fix things while blaming all 'others' as the cause. Too easy...

Was it all just a dream? How could the underlying fabric of the seemingly permanent, robust structures of my world simply dissolve all around me, just like that, almost overnight?

There's no reason to go along with the crowd and no excuse for compromising your conviction under the impertinent assumption that, if you go as they go, they will accept you; respect you; honour you for joining them... They will not.

Ok, focus. It's the NEW MOON in a week, and there's still a lot of trash to clear... (most of it in your mind).

... this Gemini third-quarter Moon will be hovering over the North Node, making this an especially neurotic time for many souls with mental problems or who struggle making decisions or focusing their minds on serious, life-altering decisions.

In my next two "Cosmic Buzz" podcasts, I examine the important role the 'malefic' planets play - both traditional (MARS/SATURN) and evolutionary (PLUTO/ERIS) when we become frightened at the will of others. Inevitably, our fear is aroused at any attempt to intimidate our individual, social and cultural prerogatives from the threat of danger, death and even extinction.

Stop, stop!! I don't know which I'm supposed to discredit more... the flagrantly aggressive lies & misinformation or the flaky & outlandish truths?

'FUNKY POISONS WITH DESIGN TO BEFOUL mind/body/soul dissolve much more than trust in the relationship'. A caution to all, esp. you 'sensitives' out there.

At the height of this Full Moon, our primal energies pull apart. There is an incongruency between the will and the emotions; an instinctive urge to pull away from the source, often reflected in our relationships.

Join us for a discussion of the profound effects of the second AQUARIUS FULL MOON in succession, delving widely into the personal and sociological complexities of the current energies and why they pose such massive dilemmas for us, at least for the short term.

As the Leo SUN opposes JUPITER, be encouraged that there are indeed some brave souls out among us...

When MERCURY conjuncts MARS in Virgo, the mind cuts every which way, and one is practically able to argue the question or analyse the point from every angle to achieve the desired result.

The Sun's formation of the 'yod' to NE/PL, now opposing JUPITER, is an awareness that the two 'sides' of our processing need to come into alignment - that the reason we are split into two has perhaps more to do with our disembodiment between the cool, rational, linear mind and the warm, swirling, abstract realms of our being.

Sometimes we need to see how just superficial things are in order to pull inwards and explore the wealth and power, found only in the depths of our own, inner black hole. We need something to show us just how trite and meaninglessly insipid everything can be... Enter Venus in Libra.

Those of you following my work on the "Cosmic Bus" over these past few years may understand that our species, alongside all others, is now undergoing a most crucial step in its evolutionary process. That something massively transformative is happening here is undeniable - it has been developing for years(since 2011-12). But does the redundancy of old traditions, religions, roles, jobs and other socio-economic systems lead us closer to extinction, or does the crucible of this wholesale, earth-bound transfiguration promise all species a deliverance towards truly universal love and light?

Before you leave that bed today, ask whether you're mentally fit for what the day is about to hurl at you. Most likely, you will get precisely what you dish out, and then some....

Psst... Don't worry. Let 'em go their way, stick with yours, even if you gotta go it alone for a little while further...

MARS in VIRGO can be an all-around do-gooder. For all his self-discipline, strong work ethic, technical aptitude and unselfishness, he is sometimes seen as pushy, with definite ideas about what's generally good or bad for others - particularly those he cares about.

At the height of this lunation (Sunday, August 08, 13:51 UTC), we draw from the tremendous synergy of the Moon (instincts) aligning with the Sun (conscious will). The fusion of these two primal energies at 16°14' generates a powerful urge within each of us to stand for who we are; to express our principles and beliefs with a firm sense of confidence and pride, and a willingness to do whatever is necessary to preserve and maintain our own, distinct identity.

The Leo New Moon (Sunday) is a call to the brave to stand in the integrity, honour and conscious sovereign agency of their SOLAR FIRE and SHINE.

In the dark of the moon, a kind of unravelling occurs. If we didn't instinctively feel it already, we begin to sense it most strongly now. The human race is about to enter its most decimating phase, for once we have completely fallen out with one another, the perils of the mass toxicity leaves us in nothing but a hostile, inhospitable land...

There are times when maintaining one's integrity best requires that we hold our tongue, play it low-key and exercise our freedom to mind our own business (thereby allowing others to mind theirs)...

...nah thanks, I'm good. Think i'll just sit this out for a bit.

Symbols of Inequity – FULL MOON at 01°26′ AQUARIUS: Saturday, July 24, 02:38 UTC

Full Moons bring us moments of tremendous illumination. With the Sun's entry into Leo, the energies of this lunation are fresh and potent because they occur at the critical first degree. Hence, their symbolism is raw and strikingly obvious. The Moon's opposition to the Leo Sun from Aquarius reveals two very diametrically opposing realities...

COSMIC BUS #2130 – SEASON FINALE (Aquarius Full Moon)

Feeling a bit distant, cut off and alienated? Yes, our old world is undergoing massive deconstruction, one where all the injustices and inequities are rising up, literally tearing us apart, inside and out....

LESSONS with SUN at 29° CANCER

Obsession with safety and security breeds a paranoid mind and a sick society.

...that profound moment, when you come to suspect that it wasn't just your sex they're trying to exploit but rather your rich, supernatural powers...

The Cardinal Grand Cross created by the Sun/Moon on the Pluto/Eris cuts precisely along the Nodal Axis, presenting us with a bounty of rich symbolism by which to navigate our way through inner and outer space...

As the world turns, it burns. Ignited in raptures of all kinds of inflammation and conflagration, it would seem that the coolest place for the autonomous individual is to be jetting off into space...

Remember, the VENUS/MARS cycle marks the point of passion - the thing(s) you feel most strongly about. It could be a love/hate thing and chances are it's a bit of both because it moves you...

Our New, Long-Form Podcast ...a valiant endeavour to understand the goings-on of our mundane world …

With the LEO MOON now on the VENUS/MARS conjunction, one might assume that this is the perfect time to go out there and blow one's right-royal trumpet...

The Cancer New Moon, the last of this year's supermoons, is also perhaps the most personal since its cardinal watery nature activates the maternal, nurturing, protective instincts in us all...

COSMIC BUS #2128 – Cancer New Moon

New Moons are a klaxon call to make a fresh start – a reset point...

Strut from your gut, reign your domain...

(after six whole weeks) MERCURY’S FINAL PASS

over the square to NEPTUNE implies that either you are too 'sensitive' or too incapable to hear the clear-cut message; read the mail; follow the logic. Someone is taking liberties to water it down, sugar-it-up or simply keep it from you.

COSMIC BUS #2127 – Discovering That The Universe Is Stranger Than We Think

Lots of releasing happening this week...

LAST QUARTER MOON conjunct CHIRON (Cosmic Bus Postponed)

At the height of this LAST QUARTER MOON, conjunct CHIRON in Aries, the words 'individual', 'family', 'intimacy' and 'privacy' maintain an albeit tenuous meaning...

When MARS starts to activate the SATURN/URANUS square, you may feel a sudden urge to break with convention, which in many ways may feel beyond oppressive...

reserve all other options...

JUPITER/NEPTUNE SRx (QUANTUM REALISATIONS)

So here's what I have managed to observe during this Full Moon: You ready?

The next lunation, the Cancer New Moon on Saturday, July 10, 2021 at 18°♋02' falls just prior to an opposition to Pluto, and intersects key midpoints between SATURN/URANUS/NEPTUNE, all vectors of specific types of consciousness. We are transitioning through, and it is painful, but the wonders of stepping into a quantum reality are simply unimaginable and almost... almost indescribable.

Pluto and Psychic Epidemics

The creative adults of tomorrow are the children who survive today's systematised social derangement.

At the Cancer Solstice, the Sun represents a powerful turning point in our year. Here, his light is directed inwardly, to our innermost private, precious and personal areas. From this point, we are blessed with the meta-awareness to instinctively feel our way through all the intimate areas of our lives...

COSMIC BUS #2125 – Capricorn Full Moon

In this cosmic bus session, we discuss the current state: retrogrades aplenty, Saturn vs everything, the looming black hole that is the Pluto/Eris gridlock, and the post-eclipse lunation that is next week's CAPRICORN FULL MOON. Tune in... we have such exciting if a little nerve-wracking energies to discuss.

1ST QUARTER MOON FORECAST: Friday, Jun 18, 04:55 UTC. (27°♍09′)

Mercury, messenger of the gods, governs over both the Gemini Sun and the Virgo Moon, making this first quarter phase uniquely critical...

Awakening to ‘The Great Reset’ – The Second SATURN(Rx)-URANUS SQUARE

Saturday's Gemini Sun on the ♄Rx □ ♅ portends a message of recovery from the grips of a global epidemic, socioeconomic and inequality and a raft of other, comparatively minor karmic issues, all leading towards our species' obligatory rebirth (reset)...

MARS IN LEO (Jun 11 – Jul 30)

...because you can't do all the bigshot-crazystuff you got in mind on an empty stomach... right?

COSMIC BUS #2124 – Saturn/Uranus (Part II) A Rupture in the Fabric of Time/Space

The clash between these two dimensions of human consciousness develops into greater disruptions in every known field... Why is this happening now?

In all respects, the Solar Eclipse returns a surge of mental energy into the collective after the May 26 Blood Moon's Energetic Shutdown. We can expect enormous amounts of old news to come to the surface, disrupting our way of thinking and raising a plethora of new questions about what indeed constitutes our truth.

IN THIS LIFETIME

Everything you ever wanted, anything your heart could ever dream that's good, even riches beyond the wildest scope of your imagination are one day, soon, miraculously, to be made manifest for you and for everyone. This sort of promise was once the domain of mysticism and religion alone...

MARS activates PLUTO/ERIS

MARS/PLUTO/ERIS can be like this psycho city's sitting on a powderkeg, waiting for the Aries Moon to spark him off on grand mal seismic meltdown. Whatever you do, don't mention the "thing"...

COSMIC BUS #2123 – Gemini Solar Eclipse

There cannot be a spiritual makeover, or paradigm shift without an earth-shattering new theory, something that reorders the old-world knowledge into a whole new framework.

Trying to make sense of anything during this mid-eclipse Mercury Rx energy slump is like trying to swim out of last month's Blood Moon sinkhole (Sinkhole de Mayo?).

MERCURY STATIONING to RETROGRADE at 24°43’Gemini

Dare I say, those who are strongly adherent to their fantasies and faiths could well be left at sea just like a ship without a rudder, their minds tossed mercilessly about by swirling winds and tides, dumped like a flotsam morsel on some deserted wasteland......

Taking Time Out [Cosmic Bus Postponed]

So, in this deadening lull between eclipses now, where the dispositors ☿/♃ are both in dignity and stationing to retro, this is the perfect time to shut out, shut in, shut down and shut up in order to get a clearer gauge on the energetic principle of everything that's streaming into your consciousness.

This lunation produces a powerful energetic shutdown. Our preoccupation with trivia, our tendency to become lost in arguments over assumptions, conjecture and quasi-conceptual realms that have little or no relevance to our daily circumstances needs to end, and we are called to focus on rebuilding the pathways to a better society.

SUN SQUARE JUPITER

...then there are times when 'trusting your intuition' could mean you are clearly 'out of range', and it's best to have all your wits about you, ask the right questions and avoid sailing into unchartered waters.

COSMIC BUS #2121- Saturn SRx 13°31′ Aquarius

Saturn packs the exact lesson we have yet to learn, and whether we like it or not, sets perimeters and structures within which to build, tear down and reconstruct our sense of mental, physical and spiritual reality.

You're invited to join Ang on the Cosmic Bus for a discussion on Saturn's Retrograde through Aquarius and what we can expect going into the next few weeks. Thursday Night (USA)/Friday Morning 01:00 UTC – 18:00 PDT – 19:00 MDT – 20:00 CDT – 21:00 EDT – 11:00 AEST – 03:00 SAST

THE FIRST QUARTER LEO MOON at 29°01′

We can stop any disease. We just have to find a way to innoculate ignorance; eradicate our fixation with worshipping dumbness...
