ASTROLOGY OF NOW

...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.

One thing about revolutions, when they erupt, they are sudden and unpredictable and the sheer violence of their eventual manifestation turns the entire world upside down.

REMEMBER: What you see on the teevee is not what's happening.

...in the prelude to the Leo Full Moon (Jan 28), we will see several planets come to lock horns through a series of challenging dynamic aspects to one another in the early degrees of fixed signs.

...with NEPTUNE squaring the NODES and in semisquare to MARS, JUPITER, SATURN and URANUS, everything you see isn't necessarily real - it's most likely a mirage. Everything you hear is an echo, a reverberation of ideas from another time.

Beloved Tribe, Let us take this moment, in the light of the slightly tarnished Capricorn New Moon to address the residue of pollutants we have inherited from our past.

The energy to successfully break through to the next level is there, just locked away or wasted through lack of direction. You can do this one step at a time.

On this Capricorn New Moon, a conjunction to the Hadean underworld ruler, Pluto, implies and conjures a moment of complete, cathartic metamorphosis. Our world must face its dark side and make the choice for a new life or death.

Remember, when NEPTUNE squares the LUNAR NODES (Nov-Feb) we are all suffering the misfortune of being deceived and ultimately disappointed.

The Capricorn lunation demands a sense of extreme responsibility, like the weight of the world is on our shoulders to get it right.

After 6 whole months in his fiery domicile (Aries), MARS is now white-hot to take charge. If Machiavelli could see us now.

By this time next week, the tone is completely bonkers. What's the opposite of peace?

Almost immediately, 2021 manifests as a series of relentless upheavals. Social and political systems that have prevailed for centuries, now on the verge of sudden collapse, become replaced by uncertainty and disturbance.

Through it all, you are transforming into something exquisite and purely unique, developing a genius nobody can predict. You may be the one and only of your kind and, this may feel distancing and weird at first.

Just the heads-up, Cosmic Travellers. We're POSTPONING OUR REGULAR RENDEZVOUS UNTIL TOMORROW (regular time); allowing everyone to get well-rested and to be well on the other side of 2020 before we begin to take the spectacular cosmic transits of 2021 apart.

Science and the paranormal seem to be at war right now and though it's crucial that they work together, it will seem a tad naïve to believe that the world (and all those in it) are exactly as they seem.

So, this NEPTUNE squaring the NODES is really turning our affairs into nightmarish situations and now, with VENUS opposing the MOON, highlighting where we're most vulnerable to dogmatic hypocrisy and delusion...

All religions and faiths preach love, peace and harmony. Yet something in their narrative becomes distorted and confused into something unnatural and mysteriously evasive, something not capable of holding this 'love' and well-being together very well in linear space and time.

The next two lunations, featuring Chiron (FM) and Pluto (NM) are very telling, stirring new questions which will dominate some of the major themes of 2021.

The Moon's pass over the Mars/Eris ignites the side of us which feels offended/triggered at being ignored, neglected and left out. It's not a conspiracy to get you if you don't let it get to you.

Don't forget: Leave all your psycho-baggage behind...

Get set to leap into a whole new dimension.

In a couple of hours, Saturn leaves Capricorn and enters Aquarius (just like he did March-June earlier this year). The future 'normal' is here, but with Saturn, our vision of it can be rather bleak if it is cloaked with fear and not blessed with responsibility.

In the wake of this eclipse, we clear the way forward. We are about to make URANUS (divine insight) the new SATURN (reality), and CHIRON is our pioneering bridgeway into seeing deeper into the divine...

In the dark-moon phase leading up to this South Node Eclipse, with Luna in dreaded Scorpio, emotions don't get much darker.

As Monday's TOTAL ECLIPSE approaches, a reminder to stay mindful that your greatest intentions, most ambitious projections on how to carry on 'believing' in this turbulent world stand to be interceded by an unexpected force or an unforeseen turn of events...

REMINDER: Detaching from mainstream society to join 'the resistance' or some counter-culture movement, no matter how righteous or cool their ideas, is just proof that you are not listening to your unique inner guiding voice...

This is for sure this time, man... I'm telling you - the "Christmas Star" is a sign that the second coming is about to happen...

I'm under no pretensions. The Neptune fog across the true Nodes is thick and heavy and it's hard to know what to make of anything. Both past and future seem entirely beyond belief.

Oh, was you going somewhere with all that baggage??

In harmony with the thanks-giving holiday, our usual cosmic bus service will be postponed until next week.

Every heartbreak, rejection, grief and sorrow introduces us to change and, although painful, forces us to accept release from something that perhaps wasn't quite complementary to our growth and what we strive to be.

In times of extremities, where transformation and death take place, morality quickly goes out the window, for it is sadly a luxury of the privileged few who get to outline guidelines and laws of 'virtuous' behaviour to the rest, who are easily swayed...

For the next week, the Moon starts to fill light to the brim. By the end of this month, she will have suffered her fourth and final eclipse this year.

As retrograde Neptune stations squarely across the Gemini/Sadge Nodal Axis, we enter the Eclipse Season which bookends 2020. It has been a phenomenal year...

The events of the next 24 hours will be especially telling. As I posted yesterday, I really think that we're letting ourselves be had. The Capricorn moon's pass over the ♃/♇/♄ stellium leaves us nothing to get excited about.

Humility is not subservience. It is not a willingness to obey. It is an openness to learning, self-understanding and to change.

Seriously now, I shouldn't get too excited about things settling down and "returning back to normal". For a start, we are all currently under NEPTUNE's narcotic spell as he stations squarely across the NODAL AXIS for the next 6-8 weeks.

The most dangerous relationship is that which makes you believe the impossible...

In the dark of this Scorpio Moon, it is important to find a moment of silence, meditate your intention. In silence, we find the ability to listen: to listen to ourselves, to others and to the spirit of this powerful moment.

Ok, here we go, peeps, this is it, now When power begets more power and absolute power gets out of control... It always ends in tears, for fears that it's impossible to tell who is the real narcissist and who is fighting for his sovereignty.

It seems obvious that fundamental changes are necessary, all the way down to our core values. What do we really value in life? Can we keep squandering our good energy, consuming our own toxic crap and still hope to live a healthy, prosperous existence?

Kindness means more than simply giving. It means cooperating with others. The greatest act of kindness is to look beyond the weaknesses and mistakes of others, helping them to recognise their innate value, to see themselves as worthy.

MERCURY's stationing on an exact square to SATURN (Nov 1-6) brought on a raft of serious realisations that not only hit home in an ego-shattering way, but we're about to learn the consequences of being too stubbornly tied to traditional ways of thinking.

The Virgo Moon will try to winnow some healthy orderliness back into our lives using the earth-trines to Uranus, Jupiter, Saturn and Pluto to cut out "the crap".

Such is the fear and loathing among us, that our common vexations appear to be the main thing uniting us. Problem is, whichever side you're on - you think you are the one being oppressed.

The MOON's entry into our playfully indulgent Leo side has already received a shocking 'coming-down-to-earth' slap across the puss from URANUS in Taurus...

MARS is now stationing and after two months in retrograde will turn direct at 15°♈14' next Friday. His quincunx to the SUN today comes as the MOON forms a cardinal grand cross against JUPITER/SATURN/PLUTO, MERCURY (also SD) and ERIS.

Moon is finally out of the voluble Gemini and currently in volatile, vulnerable Cancer. Over the next 24-36 hours, Luna forms all kinds of harsh, cardinal contacts across several planets.

Yay Pisces! The intergalactic transmissions coming through your ruler, Neptune are opening up a higher morality which you may easily convey through your capacity to articulate the one wholistic vision for humanity.

Just as we might have imagined, the hazing effects of NEPTUNE'S square to the nodal axis are subtly starting to seep through.

MERCURY, now back in Libra, slows to a station pressing his nibs exactly square the SATURN, holding that for days. By midday (EST), Wednesday he will turn direct again.

Being disillusioned is no excuse for misrepresenting the truth, drawing others into the vortex of your personal despair. Learn the difference between fantasy and reality - especially if you wish to claim any authority or to persuade anyone with your ideas.

The paralysing effects of F.E.A.R. can impel us to hold on to positions and things which are not conducive to our growth. Our attachments (people, possessions, ideas, values) feel the same way. They need to be released so that they too may evolve to the next level of expression...

JUPITER now closes in on SATURN at the final degrees of Capricorn. By Dec 21, 2020 the two giants will conjunct in the first degree of Aquarius, marking the 200-year end to a series of 20-yr cycles that commenced in earth signs. The carnival is over.

NEPTUNE and JUPITER have really done a number on poor VENUS lately who, in Virgo, speaks to our longing to be acknowledged by someone for our sacrifice and generosity. Do we expect too much for our efforts to be loving and kind?

Jumping to conclusions, making snap judgements, trying to persuade others to 'think as I do' (even though those thoughts aren't convincing), plans that go haywire and just all-round mental skullduggery persist in our interpersonal dealings as Rx MERCURY slows to again oppose URANUS.

What are you going to do? How in heavens are you going to make this work again?? You may ask what have you done to deserve such an oppressive, prostrating, bleak set of conditions...

Moods can switch from nice to nasty really fast once the Moon enters Scorpio. I'm here to say, expect some haywire 'weather' up ahead...

My dear Cosmic Travellers, I have decided, in the dark of tomorrow's New Supermoon, that there will be no Cosmic Bus stop today, choosing instead to allow everyone to take a quiet, meditative moment to honour ourselves, partners, and collaborates in our creative lives. Who are the special people in your world? How are they assisting you to build a better world?

When MARS opposes the Libra SUN there's a likelihood of argument and disagreement which could become heated...

Through our interactions, we discover how much we stubbornly adhere to what we think we know, as well as limit our growth and development when we resistantly 'think we know everything'.

PLUTO wants it, badly. It doesn't matter what you want, if Pluto has you in his crosshairs he is intent to take it from you, and he will use any force necessary...
