ASTROLOGY OF NOW

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...

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

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)...

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

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.

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/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"...

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?).

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......

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.

...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.

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

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

With all the Jupiter and Saturn action transiting and retrograding in your sign, it's quite likely that you're becoming more and more ambivalent about how to approach this world, if at all.

As we sail into eclipse terrain, one has an overwhelming sense that the world is on the brink of something hugely humbling... something that could bring even the mightiest giant down to his knees. What could that 'something' be? Surely we are not lost in a sea of wishful thinking and false projections...

Everybody knows that something massive is going on, but most of us just cannot seem to put our finger on it. Many distractions, all symptoms of an impending breakdown are taking up our attention, each providing a makeshift narrative as if to remedy the situation and keep things 'under control'.

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.

Egos loom large under this Taurean lunation. Nothing's more easily triggered than a Mars in Cancer...

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.

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 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...

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.

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.

[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.

...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...

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

...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...

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.

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...

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...

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

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.
