ASTROLOGY OF NOW

No Full Moon quite tears our souls apart like that which falls under the Aries/Libra dichotomy. Whoever you are, you probably wish to live an ideal, peaceful lifestyle, maintain cordial, pleasant relationships, love and be loved. Yet your equilibrium is easily tilted when you, or someone around you, gives in to equally strong urges for action and excitement....

When the Moon turns Full in Aries, emotions are raw, instincts are primitive and direct, moods impulsive and stormy and forceful enough to influence our conscious will... how will the Libra Sun respond?

The SUN now opposes CHIRON, and over the next few days, you may experience the fragility of bearing the pain of that deepest cut of all - the daddy denial...

By the End of OCTOBER, we will have seen a stormy Aries Full Moon preceding a most devastating South Node Solar Eclipse in Scorpio; Hard nuts PLUTO & SATURN stationing to go direct, continuing their respective square-holds on unmanageable ERIS & URANUS; beloved JUPITER returning to Pisces while both MERCURY & MARS being doused deeply in the downpour of NEPTUNE's deluge...

There is much going on now that we do not wish to face or perhaps struggle to make others see. The world is awash with a kind of cognitive dissonance, a contradictory set of impressions which, on a more subtle level, we might register as a creepish feeling of unease, disquiet and a lack of trust in others...

Today, on the cusp of the LIBRA EQUINOX, I pay homage to the Virgon Goddess Athena, the ancients, my ancestry and culture. Watch as I present my current astrological and sociological views at the ruins of Acropolis, Greece, once deemed the pinnacle of western humanistic endeavour...

Squares between any two bodies accentuate incompatible or antagonistic elements, raising the degree of tension. Tension wears us down to the point where we hit the wall, and something has to give. Some tensions have been building for weeks, others months, years, and some have been building for generations...

There are days when you are positively baffled about what you see going on before you. Don't be afraid to be confused...

Instead of blindly trusting others or the exterior universe to 'fix itself', we must individually assess each issue of concern realistically, choosing relationships and activities that are uplifting and enabling us to reach the Pisces heights of inspiration and transcendence...

Every travesty ever committed has been by ordinary folks trying to sound extraordinary...

...it’s all just one charade masking a never-ending contest where the survival of the fittest is becoming critical. We all genuinely need to be loved and cared for, but nature can sometimes be very cruel, especially when we're prone to be disingenuous... Join me here for a new episode of COSMIC BUS, let's see what the stars have to say.

A confronting moment at this QUARTER MOON, since both luminaries activate the separating PLUTO/ERIS square, bringing light to all the buried, overlooked ills that have surfaced onto this planet since the two outermost 'dwarfs' went to war throughout 2020-21. It is the survival of the fittest in a race where one wonders what will be the ultimate prize...

At the commencement of this New Moon cycle, you might sense that many in this world are full of it, just plain wrong. Then, some are convinced they're right, masses of them, or at least who lie somewhere in the mantle of the in-between. And then there's you...

Virgo is quick to flush out, purge and extricate the slightest little detail deemed offensive, and Mars in Gemini will most certainly provoke such an action with a mere word...

Nobody really knows what is going to happen because we've rarely seen URANUS flashing us so much. From this lunation to the next, the amperage is ultra high, and then we go into eclipse season, where the torchem never stops...

MARS now enters the intrepid Gemini, and the SUN will enter analytical Virgo in a few hours. Both masculine planets enter mental signs, where their activity is most potent and raw...

MERCURY opposes NEPTUNE, a cycle that began with their conjunction at 23º15' Pisces on 23 March 2022. The Mercury/Neptune relationship best helps us track the development of our fantasies, psychic perceptions, suspicions and, often, our self-deceptions and delusions....

You may feel isolated and afraid, but come... you're just being silly now. Just know you're not alone; all it takes is your genius to start the most remarkable revolution...

This is a remarkable time, although a bit unnerving for those who are 'awakened', knowing there's no going back to sleep and, indeed, no slouching since "they're" definitely coming for you, just as they have before, lifetime after lifetime. Perhaps this time will be different?? Much to catch up on and much more to discuss on this episode of Cosmic Bus.

“Look at me! I'm really hating on that witch.... chucking rocks at the witch! You see how much I hate witches! Means I'm definitely NOT a witch myself!”

As energies pull apart, the tension generated often indicates that effort is required to reconcile them or allow them to separate. This polarised strain, experienced in our relationships, points to areas where our individualised will (or ego) is at odds with the collective needs of humanity...

The dark side of the most grotesque, malformed PLUTO energy attracts the very thing that will break us down to the core so we can cease to be the way we were. Something buried deeply is eating away at us - a transgenerational ill that presents as trauma(s) throughout our life until we can confront the darker side of our psyche...

As JUPITER, SATURN and URANUS tighten in the coming weeks, the world experiences an upsurge in free-floating psychological uneasiness - a mind dis-ease - anxiety and discontentment which cannot be linked to any apparent cause, though many symptoms will appear...

They say that pride precedes a fall, but with the amount of hubris going round these days, the drop is set to be colossal....

Next Week's FULL MOON in AQUARIUS immediately activates this URANUS/NORTH NODE point, and its square alignment to Saturn, showing exactly why we're getting off on the 'right' foot (if by 'right' we mean 'wrong')...

The New Moon in Leo signifies a time for new beginnings and opportunities to embark on new ventures of creative and bold endeavour. The Sun is dignified in Leo, illuminating where we want to shine and be the centre of attention in our world....

Sometimes things happen for no apparent reason. Sometimes things happen, so that other things won't...

Next week's New Moon in the early degrees of Leo leads us into perhaps the most confronting time of the year when fixed minds come into horrible conflict...

In this episode, Ang talks about the CANCER SUN, now in its final week, experiencing a dreamy trine from NEPTUNE but also self-doubt, touchiness and unease from SATURN; while a looming midweek opposition from extremist authoritarian PLUTO sends the whole homeland into diabolical disarray...

As you can see, it’s all happening out there! But does anyone care enough to make …

Let us revisit the Jupiter/Saturn cycle a little because each year's changing relationship between these two significant planets describes the incremental process of an emerging new reality. As humans, the kind of mutual endeavours we project into our respective societies are represented perfectly by the ebb and flow of Jupiter and Saturn's periods of growth and recession...

The Capricorn Full Moon (Jul 13) highlights the cracks in our reality, relationships and most of all the cracks in our hearts. How will you deal with the cumulative stresses and pressures just up ahead?

Currently opposite Jupiter, we feel the lib-lunar effects of taking offence and indignation but not knowing what to make of it all. What does it all mean? This is shaping up to be a super hella moonth. I'll be back to discuss in-depth on 'cosmic bus' tomorrow, so please join, it's fascinating, and a little frightful what's happening here...

A New Moon is forming seven days after the Cancer Solstice, generating a wealth of sentiment in every heart and mind, a call to connect to one's home, family, and ancestral roots as the Sun and Moon now align in this most personal of all the water signs...

A dignified out-of-bounds MARS conjunct outsider sister ERIS, soon squaring PLUTO at the end of patriarchal Capricorn. Meanwhile, the DARK MOON is about to form lunation in the early degrees of Cancer, squaring JUPITER, activating the NODAL AXIS. The tension is so thick its palpable and moods are tender, raw and easily stirred into fury...

The SUN's square to NEPTUNE has left us puzzled and perplexed by the outright deception and doublespeak in the media. His quincunx to PLUTO over these next couple of days adds to the tension and unrest because those in power seem to be manipulating the minds of the masses to further promote their outright supremacy...

What are the consequences and dividends of our suffering, and how are the Pluto and Mars cycles to Chiron relevant to our healing journey?

...the New Moon in Gemini foreshadowed a lunar cycle whose primary intent was to raise conscious awareness of new ideas and information currently being seeded and circulated through mundane channels of communication, media and trade. After two weeks, the Moon's transit through the zodiac into Sagittarius produces a full reflective glow to the Gemini Sun, allowing us to examine how well those ideas are integrated into the bigger picture...

trange, delusory forces emanating from unconscious sources, cause unresolved and blocked emotions to leak out everywhere, seeking a cathartic release... Join me live on COSMIC BUS as we seek to make some sense of the current maelstrom enveloping our planet.

Between tonight's Quarter Moon in Virgo and next week's Full Moon in Sadge, we'll see an overly-imaginative production of illusions, where the boundaries of truth and fiction become so blurred around the edges they create distortions, chaos and confusion in our lives...

As the shift in consciousness unfolds, subtle changes in the way we view the fabric of reality; the little details that make up the ins and outs of our life, come to the fore and seem trite and unsatisfactory...

On Monday, May 30, the Gemini lunation comes to us like a post in the mail, not unlike this message. It informs us that we must gather only those things that are vital and relevant, and be ready, mentally, emotionally and spiritually for what is coming...

In the dark of this Gemini lunation, much is about to be revealed. Join us here as we discuss the messages coming in from one particular section of the starry skies...

...things are all a bit one-sided these days, there is no balance. It's like seeing through only one eye - it makes you look at the world in the most unusual ways...

Let's look into what's changing as the world heats up to an unprecedented degree - join us here for a special LAST QUARTER-MOON discussion on the Cosmic Bus...

Mercury turns retrograde in an air sign in all three instances this year, indicating that the dissemination of many ideas currently circulating requires critical rethinking and review. On each occasion, in January, May and October, our 'messenger god' dips back into an earth sign before turning direct into air again. Is Mercury trying to ground an idea before going ahead with it, or is he trying to bury it?

Of all the signs, the impact of a Scorpio lunation coincides with the most intensely personal, emotionally longest-lasting endings, deaths and transitions in our lives, for it is in this fixed-watery sign that the Moon is at its utmost detriment (fall), where emotional experiences are concentrated, condensed and intensified...

In this special pre-eclipse episode, Ang delineates how current energies are pressing us to determine the source of our most unpleasant emotions and how to work on bringing them to a manageable, neutral place...

JUPITER storms into Aries where, fanned by double fire through this constellation, he will wreak his self-styled quest for law and justice, sparing little or no mercy about what he feels is morally right. Regardless of where you stand, prepare to get into new territory, be it physically or intellectually or both...

On this first-quarter moon phase, we are squarely in the energetic slump between these two eclipses and while thoughts may stray to those less fortunate, runaway egos and enlivened spirits can make even the most depressed people come alive.

PLUTO is now retrograde, and in the next month MERCURY and SATURN too; JUPITER enters ARIES, tapping URANUS and a TOTAL LUNAR ECLIPSE in Scorpio - all happening now and up for discussion. Join us here on the COSMIC BUS.

Eclipse time, and one can sense that our lives are all on the precipice of an emerging new world order. Or is it merely 'old world disorder'?

Eclipses are cosmic wildcards that often coincide with the introduction of new people and events in our lives capable of changing our fate dramatically...

The month ahead, with its NN Solar and SN Lunar eclipses promises massive upheavals to our self-worth consciousness. It's time to appraise what all of this is worth, and what you are worth to it...

Take note of what is not happening for you at the most intimate levels - you are preparing to release particularly stressful and controlling habits, tendencies to behave in extreme ways when your needs are not being met...

Under this glowing Libra Full Moon, we may see our world divided into two parts: One is where we are together with our beloveds, and there is all harmony, hope, and light; the other is where we are not, and there is sadness, anger and darkness. This Moon holds up to our face some crucial questions in the eternal struggle between war and peace...

2022 is the first time Neptune will meet Jupiter in Pisces since March 1856. At each conjunction, Neptune subtly introduces a possible 'better' future to Jupiter, who then spends approximately a year transiting through each of the 12 zodiac signs, sowing the seeds of dissolution to all the dreams that stood before, washing them away with the promise of a brand new hope...

In Aquarius, the freedom-fighting Mars combines with the harsh disciplinarian force of a socially reformist Saturn, hampering activism and controlling 'social justice' waves of anger and frustrations with the distinct effort to instil new control systems. It is an indication that we are entering a whole new 2-year cycle of painstaking work...

MERCURY's conjunction with NEPTUNE now enables a direct channel between the conscious and unconscious (Jungian) mind. Both the energy and information flowing through this conduit must be carefully integrated if we're going to avoid a variety of cosmic interferences, imbalances and distorted transmissions...

The question is, how do you hang on to the rigid emotional, material and ideological values that have so far defined you in this changing world and still maintain relations?

Is this EQUINOX the start of something, and what does the ARIES INGRESS chart reveal about the interaction between our Earth and Sun, the rest of the planets, the galaxy, etc. Most importantly, how indeed does this affect our lives here? Stay tuned for more updates during the week as we look closely at the year ahead.

As I’ve been saying all year, 2022 is the one with the lot, and if …

…and boom, VENUS and MARS, now tightly fused, smash into AQUARIUS together, just as JUPITER and SATURN had done in their grand conjunction on 12-21-2020. Remember that shift?

We are in a state of chaos and disorder; it would seem. Anyone you ask, …

Join me for a special Cosmic Bus episode tomorrow (usual time) where we expand further on the astrology of this moment- the VENUS-MARS- VESTA-PLUTO conjunction at the summit of 28 Capricorn. Like 1776, 1531, 1284... a most interesting development, since it echoes the collapse of an old reality structure and the reformation of something totally new...

En masse, we are ready to transform. By deliberately breaking socially imposed taboos, relinquishing our attachment to the limitations and restrictions of outworn social norms, transgressing the old fear-ridden paradigms in the feminine field, we are ready to break through the old matrix...

We can do this when we come together, keep together, work together, passionately, as one. Together, we can accomplish extraordinary feats...

In this episode, we speak about Pluto's return to 27 Capricorn and the rise and fall of USA imperial rule and its dream of global democracy. Similar to the Incas, every dynasty, however mighty and powerful, must come to an end, giving way to a new rise...

As the New Moon approaches, prepare to shapeshift into a new realm, a dimension where you are free to be virtually anybody, any animal or diety...

VENUS and MARS are finally in bed together, and it promises to be a long 'honeymoon', but wait... the whole thing's happening in Capricorn, where the two remain awkwardly allied until PLUTO (yeesh) creeps into bed with them.

FULL MOON at 27° LEO, and your power scopes are ready and firing for this epic, epic moment. Which way will it go? Well, it's all up to you, of course...

By exploring the depths of the subconscious and revealing concealed truths, distortions, and secrets, we embark on a journey to comprehend our mental abilities at a deeper level, leading to significant and life-altering transformations...

Next week's FULL MOON is a whacker, but tomorrow's 1st Quarter Moon is set to push out the absolute individualist who knows exactly what s/he wants and is determined to get it, even if it does put some noses out of joint...

What awaits is a life you could never have predicted, one full of upheavals and surprises, one filled not with insecurity and fear but with a freedom you could never have imagined...

By dramatically abdicating one's active participation, sabotaging the play, or spitefully removing the critical tools of the game, one could effectively ruin all hope of a happy outcome for all. Classic Scorpio South Node stuff...

The Aquarian lunation is the penultimate phase of the Sun's journey through the zodiac. The icy breezes of this fixed air sign cut through our Sol like a cold wintry blast. Where the glacier meets the Aquarian skies, the land ceases to be earthly, becoming one with the heavens.

The Aquarian New Moon on Saturn strikes us all hard, like a cold arctic blast of consequence which, versus Uranus, alerts us to the seriousness of our 'human condition' like an icepick to the third eye.

Spotlight on those who are most obstinate, gripped with righteous resolve and stubbornness, helplessly bonded to their better instincts, who rarely listen to the counsel of others and the excessive demands made upon their prerogative...

Let's hold hope that as long as we each continue to do our part willingly and happily, contributing to the common good of our community as dependable and responsible individuals, we shall each find a fruitful way of coexisting again. Going into the Aquarian New Moon, it is a time to plan into this new vision...

Aside from key eclipse periods in April/May and Oct/Nov, we discuss several critical moments over the span of this special nodal transit, as well possible challenging scenarios, what to avoid and which attitudes we must strive to improve.
