AUGUST- PRESCIENCE

"Whether the mask is labelled fascism, democracy, or socialism, our great adversary remains the apparatus—the bureaucracy, the police, the military. Not the one facing us at the front lines, who isn't so much our enemy as our brother and sister's enemy, but the one that calls itself our protector and makes us its slaves."

Crucible – THE WEEK AHEAD: Jul 20-26

With both the Cancer Moon and opposing Saturn dignified in this 180° standoff, life proffers us the uncomfortable prospect of feelings vs duty and obligation, viewed as rather a serious business in which 'doing the right thing' becomes tantamount, even if this means ignoring our instincts and emotions... or so it may seem.

SUN OPPOSING PLUTO

The degree of projection going on right now is at insane levels.

SOLAR ECLIPSE ON THE WORLD AXIS

It is Solstice. The Sun is at 00° Cancer, what astrologers call "the World Axis" (0° Cardinal signs). In just a few hours, the Moon will pass before the Sun, obscuring his majestic glow, all but for a bright ring of fire (corona) around his edges.

SOLAR ECLIPSE AT ZERO CANCER

SUN QUINCUNX JUPITER/PLUTO

Don't be too surprised when sophisticated robots and computer algorithms soon start to drive humans entirely out of the job market.
