ASTROLOGY OF NOW

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.

...full discourse on the karmic significance of this 18 month period and the nodes' most noteworthy transits, on our next cosmic bus session, live in 24 hours...

This lunation becomes a high-water mark in the ongoing saga for authoritarian control. Instinctively, individuals will seek to take control of their private lives and resume control over their own family and domestic matters, refusing to acknowledge others in positions of authority.

Telepathic mind blasts shuttle in rapidly when MERCURY's in Aquarius, the sign of its exaltation. As vector of individual thoughts circulating in the celestial repository, Mercury's station to retrograde at 10°20' unzips the seam of vast reserves of universal data, releasing truths that we may or may not wish to hear...

Let us pause to consider the magnitude of this next lunation, the Cancer Full Moon vs the Capricorn Sun/Pluto, t-Squaring Eris...

You may not see much going on at the moment, but the underlying tension between NOW and the FULL MOON (Jan 17) builds silently, eventually reaching nosebleeding levels...

The Sun/Moon in Capricorn is a conscious alignment with the unconscious, instinctive nature, blessing the soul to embody and manifest our dutiful part in the greater cause. Each of us must walk our destined path. It is not a ready-made path, but one which we determine by continuing to struggle forward in our walking.

On the last day of this very unusual year, we have many things to consider before setting our intention/resolution for the year ahead. Let's come together, please join me live on the Cosmic Bus as we discuss the intricacies of our times by looking at the Astrology of Now.

MERCURY is now aligned with that VENUS/PLUTO, and all squaring ERIS. Pleasures and privileges are now being administered in what appears to be an obscenely obvious show of favouritism for one, while extreme denying for the other...

We are traversing through strange terrain, where history matters little and you can't rely on old sentiments to guide you. Come, take my hand. These winds and tides; this change of times won't drag you away...

The only thing on my xmas list this year is the people I need to make amends with...

The equinoxes and solstices are particularly significant points in the solar cycle. Conceived throughout all indigenous cultures they determine the rhythms of natural growth and decay, polarities of a universal life-death process...

Let us make peace with the ghosts of xmas past...

Here, the Gemini Full Moon generates some degree of self-effacement, perhaps conflict against the Sagittarian Sun as the two luminaries try to show us how to blend our need to satisfy the values of intellectual curiosity with the desire to form a cogent sense of morality.

Let's discuss the key issues of this lunation, the Venus retrograde on Pluto/Eris, the Mars at the Sadge South Node and much anticipated earth-quaking Saturn/Uranus (and more) as we approach another odd Xmas...

The individualist Aries MOON hits off CHIRON and heads to align with ERIS, generating a now-familiar mood of feeling left out beyond the periphery of normalcy and acceptability. It's like there's something weird about us and we're far too much trouble to be taken seriously, included in the big game...

Come, sit around the campfire as we stop our cosmic bus to discuss the nuances and perils of this arguably crazy but transformative time. Something tells me that these 'holidays' will never be the same...

POST-ECLIPSES, and we are already seeing that many of our old-world narratives and beliefs are now all but completely upgraded, supplanted by a more snazzy, one-size-fits-all, shut-up & take-this, progressively rationalistic approach to life...

Eclipses produce powerful awakenings, brought about by sudden, unexpected incidents or encounters that jolt our lives into a new direction. They are often not what we expected, yet we realize that we should have expected as much and nothing less when we look back...

Our species is currently in the grips of a psychotic mind-virus - the greatest epidemic disease known to humanity. Originating deep within those who suffer ancestral soul-sickness, it can potentially either wipe us all out or wake us all up...

The Total Solar Eclipse along the Sagittarius South Node ushers a final, unambiguous call to let go of failing ideologies and beliefs that are stagnating our individual and collective progress...

Double-activating the PLUTO/ERIS midpoint, this becomes an intensely troublesome, potentially violent constellation, especially concerning those who are currently at the end of their tether.

The Solar Eclipse in Sadge hurls another curveball into our 'belief' systems. Narratives get so exorbitantly out of proportion that we wonder what to believe. It's a moment that's been building for 18 months and it's time to put an end to all the horse manure falling out of the rear end of the Sagittarian South Node...

Something is nagging away at the overly expectatious Sagittarian Sun, now most restless and brash thanks to his conjunction with winged messenger Mercury. He's full of it....

For the next few days, VENUS/MARS/NEPTUNE do a 'softie', where the three will dance in sextile series. If you haven't already started, you'll probably loosen right up...

After 18 months, we learn much about the spiritual drawbacks posed to us during the SOUTH NODE's transit through Sagittarius. Here, our soul comes to recognise what baggage it must let go of in order to evolve....

The SUN, now in Sagittarius, is transiting over the Lunar South Node. This is the point where soul entities disconnect; where people exit our lives as their role in our story has run its course...

The Lunar eclipse, for those who managed to witness it with their naked eye, was indeed a spectacular phenomenon. The celestial forces of the Taurus Moon pulling away from the Scorpio Sun, with Earth straight in between, create a direct shuttle of vital energies funnelling onto our planet via the North Node, awakening many to our spiritual purpose.

This potent eclipse offers us all a phenomenal awareness that even the most painful circumstances can lead us to deeper understand­ing and constructive action.

How important is it for you to be right? At what cost does the fanatical adherence to your beliefs outweigh the benefits of coexisting in a happier, more integrated, moderate society?...

Over the next week, we will all feel the crescendo of intensity personally and our skies, both inner and outer, will be lit. We have much to talk about, and I will begin my series of analyses on the coming events in a special episode of the cosmic bus: Sunday Night (USA)/Monday Morning 00:00 UTC – 16:00 PST – 17:00 MST – 18:00 CST – 19:00 EST – 11:00 AEDT – 02:00 SAST

SATURN in Aquarius is where some become cemented in their ideological mindset. URANUS in Taurus is where some are grounded in inexplicably unyielding defiance. MARS in Scorpio is where some get lost in the brooding depths of spiteful misery....

It is clear that under these FIXED T-SQUARE skies, things aren't going to end nicely...

If you're struggling right now, feeling stuck, can't seem to make your square peg fit into such a round hole, then think again... ... was it ever really going to fit?

Nice little yod forming to the North Node between Mercury & Venus now... and by 'nice' i mean kinda nasty...

Remember yesterday's New Moon. Remember the issues that stood out, not to disrupt, but to recast your entire agenda. Ignore them at your peril.

It is New Moon again - the synodic reset between the Sun and Moon's cyclical rhythm. At this time of the month, we have a chance to purge old, stagnant energies that accumulate in the body and begin to refresh them with new ones.

On this enchanted Halloween, take life's hurts and limitations and turn them into opportunities to heal.

When it feels like the end, rock bottom, that you have nothing left to give; when you feel lost, worn out, stripped of your dignity and pride, then you become dangerous because you realise have nothing left to lose...

Trust your intuition on this. Sooner or later, the precious thing that binds you; that defines your slavery, shall be lost, stolen or become utterly worthless...
