ASTROLOGY.OF.NOW

19 years ago... What were you doing? Were you around? Can you see any trends between the events in your life then and now as the lunations/eclipses repeat the same patterns, activating the same natal planets/houses?

With all this ☽, ☿, ♀, ☊ biz in Gem♊ni and a nice little ☿ △ ♄, this is a perfect time to start trying to get your ideas across to others again. Come on, you can do it.

At Taurus, the sign of fixed/earth, the seed of self-awareness that germinated in Aries becomes invigorated into physical form and seeks protection and security. If you are tuned into the natural rhythms of life, you may observe the subtle, primordial pull of both your deliberate and instinctive attention shifting towards the perseverance, stabilisation, longevity, virility, fertility and sustenance of your being.

With Uranus in Taurus, now only weeks away from a second square to Saturn, we are recalibrating our entire value system. Truths become disclosed that are shocking, unsettling, perhaps unwelcome and unkind, but they are necessary and vital to our understanding of ourselves and our greater purpose here (if there is any at all).

You can't hide away forever because you fear failure. Learn to accept yourself as a uniquely spiritual artist, one with divinely ordained gifts.

Phasing out of April where, after an Aries quarrel or two, we have each become …

MOON CONJUNCT PLUTO Stationed 26°♑48'Rx △ ☿ Yep, your current drama goes a whole lot deeper than you and your mama's hidden trauma.

A whole new world is being generated and many are being called to join. But what is it and where?

If you deny the Uranian forces overhead, you will definitely become confronted by them and this frenetically electric buzz will upset and disrupt your storyline...

The Scorpio Supermoon sheds light on our darker, sexier side. Dark because there are some things so painful we'd prefer to keep to ourselves; sexy because they're so deliciously tempting that we feel compelled to find ways to share those with someone we can trust.

At the culminating phase of the moon's synodic cycle, we are provided with a unique opportunity to observe our most deeply troubling personal matters, approach them with some degree of maturity and wisdom and consider how we might proceed in order to get the best out of our experience.

The Scorpio SuperMoon occurs at 07°♏06' on Tuesday, Apr 27. The phenomenon brings up a range of fixed themes around what we have vs. what we desire/demand from others and what we must share.

The 3D world is dissolving, but it ain't going to disappear without a tear. The wisdom and custom of the ages, cherished time-worn traditions, the way we went about our business in the establishments downtown, the old folks who still remind us of a bygone era ... It hurts to let go of those.

Do not be so easily fooled, people. No show trial is going to appease or release us from the terrible scourge of tyranny that has taken complete hold over the inhabitants of this planet...

We are in for a dynamic, disruptive week ahead, since much of the inner (personal) planetary energy is shifting into feminine (receptive) signs, Pluto stationing and the Moon progressively heading towards her synodic culmination in a Hadean-style Scorpio Supermoon.

MINDFUL: In times of emotional distress, it is not absurd to take liberties. Telling yourself a warped-out story may be the only thing in life that is exclusively yours right now, but I shouldn't get too attached to that.

Remember, no big production necessary but, whatever happens, hold on to your sovereignty right now...

The apple of discord has been cast. Strife and disobedience against systems of abuse, domination and outright neglect become, to many, the only recourse of the sovereign being in reclaiming one's true liberty.

Major cracks are starting to show in the global Truman Schittshow formerly starring you and a growing cast of others.

Oh Eris, Eris, let them spare us, from having Paris come in and compare us, we know too well how he might declare us "fittest, fairest" which will only just tear us...

Whilst things may look a little bleak and gloomy, it's important to not lose sight that there's a wonderful world awaiting us all over that horizon.

This lunation is an urgent call to action for every self-aware individual - to step up and shine their light, however dim or bright, upon this darkness.

We are currently at war with darkness. That darkness is in equal parts inner as it is outer. We are at war with our pessimism and negativity, as well as our tendency to toxic optimism. Join us on the Cosmic Bus as we discuss the potency of Monday's ARIES NEW MOON, and our transition into a new light consciousness...

All human beings, at some point in their lives, encounter the crippling effects of guilt, suffering or death - life's tragic triad, which grips the ego into a state of paralysis and sends the individual into an existential crisis. When PLUTO makes contact with the NODES (Apr-Jul), we all share in the effects of such a crisis together with others.

Remember, you ain't going to hear 'the truth' because you're not likely to accept just one story or stick with any one detail. You're most likely going to want to keep an open mind throughout all this.

As we start to see the cracks forming in the matrix of the old patriarchy, the transiting Aries Sun, recently conjunct Chiron and flanked by a soon-Hesperus (evening star) Venus, challenges us to find and speak our true intrinsic voice.

In this bus session, we continue our soul-journey with the Sun through Aries, as we prepare for the Pluto/Eris New Moon on the Nodes, observing the powerful underlying forces of our times.

[CAUTION: Long, scary post about Pluto]

Who's bottled up a little apathy and anger since last March?

Anyone who's been let down, screwed over, ripped hard... come... ...see just where we're about to take this.

When you have been wounded or betrayed, there is nothing more difficult than finding someone whom you can trust to recount your story; someone who will sincerely listen, support, then champion your cause for soul-restitution and guidance towards rebalancing your life again.

...and then you realise that trying to reason with hurricane season is only going to leave you feeling wrecked.

With PLUTO/ERIS involved in this MER/MARS-NN square, the triggers of anger and expressions of rage/violence are merely an unconscious attempt to act-out, or re-enact our unhealed trauma via others in our world.

Pugnacious Mars rules over the pricked-up and scorned SUN/VENUS/CHIRON and ERIS lot in Aries, where it has dawned on some people that eventually everybody, inadvertently, at some point betrays somebody else.

..when Mars passes over the North Node (Saturday) all hell busts loose, as if to settle the score for any past misconduct and abuses.

Feeling the shift from Pisces to Aries? Just when you reach the limit of annoyance with others, others have had it with you too. Here goes our 2021 journey of learning all about intolerance...

Something crucial happens at these equinoxes and solstices. These Cardinal points are decisive moments that shift our gears on to the next level.

If you've ever held suspicions, the Sun at 29 Pisces finally provides a glimpse that this planet was one giant soul asylum all along.

When VENUS crosses the SATURN/URANUS midpoint, find a lovely way to STRESS LESS.

By the end of this week, the (now-Neptunified) SUN finally leaves Pisces and reaches the all-critical Aries Equinox. In the remaining days, the hypersensitised ego has all but fully dissolved, exposing nothing but a refined soul who is ready to be incarnated into its new, 2021 form.

All may not be what it seems because it has never been so. It has never been, and there is much that has been hidden from you, but as you become ever more sensitive and more intuitively attuned, you start to question where we are moving towards and why.

We must learn to come into oneness with this planet's vibration. Any discord will present to us as major storms.

As the Moon hits Saturn, it suddenly dawns that we're past the point of no return.

Those who are still intent to keep things the same are suffering enormously weakening tensions from all sides, and like a slowly capsizing ship, besieged by cruel waves and multifarious leaks throughout its hull, this world is desperately in need of an "all hands on deck" effort in order to repair and restore itself.

The current expectation that marriage is a "'til-death-do-us-part" type-deal need not feel like a death sentence to one's individualism, regardless of how much people still prefer to commit to a long-term relationship.

New Moons offer new beginnings, and what’s more welcome at this fragile point in time than a new vision – something to light our way out of this darkness; this tedious frustration, futility, oppression and despair and lead us more towards our dharma here?

Words are like weapons now.

The world of metaphors and symbolism offers us divine insight, and based only on these, we can construct a more reliable, more beautifully cohesive story - a dream in which all of the people on this planet can share. Join me tomorrow, for a special lunation report that sees the end of the astrological year and clears the way for the new.

In a time of widespread panic and anxiety, when the current reality seems unstable and the future you had planned seems highly improbable, the natural response is to zone out, seek refuge in your dreamworld - science-fiction fantasies about tomorrow or modified visions of a crudely reimagined past.

...hope you're studying up on how to get yourself out of this painful little twist.

What we've been experiencing is a world slowly submerging into a sea of mass psychosis, a collective hysteria that is neither real nor unreal. If you can't believe what is happening, then you're not alone...

We are all under a deep, hypnotic trance. Those who can 'see' with any clarity are witnessing humanity in a state of a deep slumber, mired in a dream yet unaware that we are dreaming our way through this life or even asleep.

This is a time to either marry the sublime and fantastically creative ideas into mundane utilisation or make a decision to untether and expunge ourselves from any relationship which only siphons away our rational energies.

When the sugar-coating on your dreamy ignorance of reality wears off, will you be so numb that you cannot feel into the truth of your situation?

The SATURN/PLUTO conjunction squaring ERIS (Jan 2020) brought to the surface an insidious disease that seeks to corrupt and destroy this planet. Any individual who succumbs to the temptation to fall under its collective spell is being plied to become fanatically attached to supporting an agenda that is, essentially, diametrically opposed to serving his/her own best interests.

Our task during 'the human experience' is to rise beyond the petty squabbles that divide us in this grim, lower illusion of limitation and scarcity, to transcend from the world of suffering and fear by using all the knowledge and insight afforded to us by the heavens.

As the Sun moves into Pisces, we become slowly immersed by waves of light which seek to dissolve and resolve our ego-attachments. In this, we either move more into the negativity of our 3D victim-martyr complexes or learn to forgive and reconnect to others in a multidimensional field of higher consciousness.

...with the sun slipping into Pisces, the first quarter Gemini Moon could get a little mental as we try to work out where on earth to go from here. Luckily, the cosmic bus will be along in a few hours, as usual, we'll have much up in the stars to see and talk all about...

What continues to ensue over the next few days are conflicts which, due to either the reckless embrace or fear of change, threaten to shake our entire value system within ourselves, in our relationships with one another, and in the world at large.

Eventually, nothing will stand as it is. It (♄□ ♅) is a three-pronged aspect that will take us through to the end of 2021.

I sense that the truth is uncomfortable; confronting; requires effort to process. It's always easier to deny and revert back to our fantasy bubble.

Why do we get irritable? What precipitates this process within, and how do we manifest our irritation in the world around us?

With respect and reverence to this intense New Moon event, let us take this moment to repose, to be with ourselves and family, to be still and mindful of the sacredness of this lunation's message. It speaks directly to our soul.

In a world shrouded by darkness, peril and confusion about what lies ahead, it is time that we looked up to the skies for a new hope.

Yeah, it's been mass insanity. Not me so much, them. It's everyone else... They lost the plot, they did... took the urge to control things too far, to the point of overkill, brought the whole system crashing down in a heap... nothing I could control. It was meant to be a joke.

The complexity of this moment is such that it defies any attempt to make any succinct prediction. All we can do is merely speculate that when several bodies converge into a single meeting point, their seemingly 'fated' union will engender a greater entity, one which will be somewhat characteristic of the kind of portends ordained by the heavens...

If ever there was a time when the world needed a new hope, some glimmer of positive inspiration that things might start to take a turn for the better, that there is light despite all of the darkness and confusion that currently enshrouds this earth, it would be now.

When the boundaries of our individuality become trespassed, then ever so subtly recalibrated into 'rights' and 'wrongs', then the individual will is hijacked and sent slowly on a death march...

Remember that time things got all weird? Lots of radical ideas, massive resistance, people restless and bored, ahead of their time...? I bet there was an Aquarian or URANUS (or both) involved...

Holding on to the bitterness about the past with anger, resentment, hatred is not becoming

True, spiritual love has no bounds. It must be allowed to dance freely both within us and in all that is around us. Constrained love is not true. To become true it must be allowed to flower to its maturity....

Yes, everything's on the fritz and 'bout to blow...

So, our Sun continues his epic hero's journey through Aquarius. There will be many twists and turns along his luminous path through February, one which will see many revolutionary changes and reforms take place, both within and all around.

You know the bull could turn and charge any moment, but sure if it don't always surprise you.

Let's talk about now, leading into tomorrow and the next New Moon, at 23°♒17', on Thu Feb 11 2021.

Anyone who studies history will question whether democracy is in serious strife right now. Corruption is as much a fixture in today's brave new frontiers of infotech and biotech as it was back in the heady days of the wild, wild west and those robber barons of the railways.

The MOON enters Leo and over the next 24 hours will bring very close to home many shocking truths and revelations, which in essence have been coming to a head for a while now. These are difficult to understand, yet everyone feels them and are in essence the cause of all our irritation and uneasiness...

Nothing is as it appears and it seems the sole purpose of those cloaked in secrecy was to confuse and implant narratives in an attempt to exchange truth with a distorted alternate reality. You're supposed to believe it... but the Soul purpose knows better.

What do you get when you have the Moon opposite the Sun/Jupiter/Saturn in square to Mars/Uranus, all in fixed signs? Not much flexibility, that's for sure...

We are about to experience something different. For the first time (in years) since Dec 21 last year the Sun, who is currently conjunct dreary-arsed Saturn, will immediately pick up our spirits with a Jupiter conjunction four days later.
