ASTROLOGY OF NOW

Join me on tomorrow's Cosmic Bus as we discuss the super-tense stellar dynamics of this next Supermoon lunation and the shocking revelations about to rock the entire world on the hallowed evening of October 31...

MERCURY SLOWS and this time next week will be flying retrograde. In a few hours, he will OPPOSE URANUS, forming the iconoclastic mentality that only relishes in confuting others’ myths and illusions with its brilliant logic and irreverent wit...

Mercury will oppose Uranus exactly three times over the next six weeks and thanks to its retrograde on Oct 14, the god of communication and ideas remains within ~2° orb, opposite the great disruptor, Uranus, all throughout the 5th-22nd of this month.

Hey, have I told you that you make this all worthwhile?

Looking for a road back to January? I shouldn't get so sentimental...

When Venus enters Virgo, it's always something... some little detail getting in the way of the romance; the thrill and enjoyment of the moment...

No Full Moon speaks loudest to our indecisiveness, lack of focus and desperate urge to look outside ourselves for someone or something to prop us up; to blame or help solve our inner problems and inadequacies like the Aries Full Moon.

MA℞S squares a stationing SATURN and with the SUN opposing CHIRON, there's something about bearing witness to a moment in history so gruesome, brutal, and bizarre that could leave our gentle souls as hardened and callous as those cops who have to pick up all the scraps after an awful car crash.

This is a good time to mind our poise and our composure. The Libra Sun calls for more tact and diplomacy, for if you slip and lose your cool, you stand to fall, disgracefully.

Time isn't speeding up. It is collapsing. You are not running short of time, just shattering your concern with the mundane.

The Cap Moon's pass across Saturn/Pluto again, mixing to create her fog of delusion and counter-delusion.

It is indeed a special time. The yod to Venus/Vesta from Jupiter/Neptune only illustrates just how exhausted, used and insecure we're feeling...

It's come to this... Big-worded tirades to your housemates in the kitchen, mega-rants on social media, peaceful marches and even rioting in the streets have fallen on deaf ears. It's done nothing and you know it.

Please remember to stay healthy throughout this transition. This period can all be a bit intense and a little scary sometimes. Just know, you have everything you need to see this to the other side. It's going to be amazing, you will see...

This has been an extremely potent week, and thanks mostly to an intensely close encounter with our Moon. Thursday's Lunation is the first of three consecutive New Moons in perigee (Supermoon) that will see the Moon pass before the Sun at her closest proximity to earth - a phenomenon not only swelling the ocean tides but nudging us too, in no uncertain terms, to "bring our big emotions into line".

Thursday's Virgo New Moon marks the synodic lunar cycle's reset point. It is the time of the month when affairs most important (Sun) and most personal (Moon) in our lives come together and we are called, both instinctively and through our experiences, to make an intention with how to deal with pertinent matters...

Be mindful that the world is subtly shifting into turbocharged hypercriticism...

Those who regard themselves "self-made" or "self-sufficient". may exert the image of social success or attractiveness since, on the face of it, this appears empowering. It conjures a certain picture of freedom, but it’s fundamentally flawed...

Accomplishing the incredible will be no accident...

"Technological progress has merely provided us with more efficient means for going backwards." - Aldous Huxley

As the Moon moves into Aries, we feel the turgid pressure of the Capricorn stellium (Jupiter/Saturn/Pluto) as wholly uncomfortable, unwelcome, even intimidating.

Choked up, dismayed and horrified with it all... wondering if all this hate and cruelty you're seeing around you is not merely an illusion; a willful misunderstanding; a failure on your part of some kind.

Like any Full Moon, this glorious lunation shines the Sun's conscious awareness upon the Moon's often hidden or more unconscious nature. As the luminaries stand at the height of opposition in the heavens, we are asked to reconcile two very different sides of ourselves. We may notice some matters in utter discordance, feel strongly averse to those around us, creating both confrontation and opportunities to make amends.

After 57 days in lockdown, 43 of which I am forbidden to exit my front door between 8pm and 5am, and then allowed only to circulate for ONE hour a day and only within a 5km radius from home, and then only to replenish food supplies and 'exercise', only with face-covering AT ALL TIMES (regardless whether I am in a store or at the park or walking by the river), the number of CV19 cases per day in this state (~ 100) has hardly varied and our premier/governor seems to be showing no indication that he is going to ease restrictions for perfectly healthy citizens...

What kind of a world are we building? Or is it up to us to destroy everything for the sake of a few? Do we want to leave our children a planet that runs on empathy and kindness or one possessed by bullying demagoguery? Do we even care what happens, so long as we don't die?

Every day becomes a struggle to adapt now, especially psychologically. For some, it's sad to come to grips with the crushing reality that dawns each day. Many are still in denial, or oblivious to what is happening, or are living in hope that in a few weeks all this will pass and we can return back to how things were.

And what did we learn? Was it that nobody is as special as you and that (after all) you're no more special than the next person?

Mercury and Moon in Virgo, opposite Neptune in Pisces, we could be anywhere and nowhere, really. Relax... It's actually over...

Nothing sets a harsher, meaner tone upon the earth than the squaring of the two malefics in the skies...

Eris introduces terrible strife and striving, contest & contention (discord) among each species, and since many more individuals are born than can possibly survive; we are cast, from time to time, into nature's recurring struggle for survival...

No lunation rings as loud and clear as a bell than a Leo New Moon. It chimes us back into the integrity of our being, and mind, body, heart and soul start to resonate in alignment with the core centre of our highest intelligence - the pink hot spot that is the nucleus of our individual creativity.

ERIS sits there all alone, beyond the perimeters of even the most distant wastelands of consciousness. She's been denied entry to the contest, shut out, left behind, forgotten and forlorn for far too long. But not for long...

Over the next 5 months, we see the outer world's struggle for progress come to a halt. It is as if the quest to change becomes internalised into a personal, highly subjectified crusade...

Come, unplug from the madness and let us sit with the stars and Moon and Sun, it'll be fun...

By the end of the weekend, forces will have mounted to launch full-scale restraints upon that which they deem to be impure, contaminating or corrupt. Many noses may be put out of joint...

You ever get the feeling you're being taken for granted? Don't worry, take it as a compliment - at least you're useful to someone...

A kind of madness and hysteria starts to intensify over this planet, possessing certain individuals with an urge to desperately, uncontrollably rail against the force of its perceived oppressor...

The highly volatile Aries MOON now activates CHIRON, MARS and ERIS. In her utter discontent, LUNA raises the attention of JUPITER/PLUTO/SATURN, who in Capricorn is ready to come down like a proverbial tonne of bricks upon anyone who shows any signs of individual insurgency or objection to the official narrative.

How are you feeling? Is your world, your environment, your emotional state settled and supportive of what your 'heart of hearts' wishes to accomplish? Or are you feeling restless and uncomfortable, inundated with changes that you neither understand (fully) nor accept as accommodating to your dreams and desires?

It's Full Moon, the time of the month when the energies of the Sun and Moon are at their most disparate and least inclined to agree with one another.

Mercury's been lingering around Cancer now since the end of May (that's long). It's a little troublesome because Mercury operates best, not going on a hunch, but by providing data.

The Moon makes one last swipe past Jupiter/Pluto/Saturn this weekend before becoming full on Monday. This is it. Super intense energies are about to rock things. Everyone gets a flash of exactly what's going on. All we need's a glimpse.

Bragging, big talk, dogmatic opinions and scientific inaccuracy in statements is at epidemic proportions here.

"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."

The tendency towards gullibility is super-high now, especially if you're keen to satisfy your own needs and desires. You may throw caution to the wind as far as the plausibility of an opportunity that you think has come your way.

Where to from here? Things are either getting clearer for you or they are a frightful mess...

Wakey wakey, Leos... time to rise & shine

See how much of your personal security and natural well-being you can trade-off to comply with comprehensive new laws imposed by those with extreme affluence and acclaim, prestige and machiavellian power...

The degree of projection going on right now is at insane levels. In amidst the darkest times, cemented by Saturn's presence, when the demons of our darkest dreams and our subconscious have been unleashed and allowed to run rife; where anger mixed with fear and envy and raging disdain for all the hurt of the ages start to swell, it's all quite easy to throw shade on others.

The healing of the sacred masculine is inextricably linked to that of the sacred feminine. One cannot heal without the other. Let us hold space, not contempt for one another. Encourage the healthiest side of our masculinity to be expressed.

The spiritual journey is never a happy one. It is always painful, ends in tragedy because in its essence it cuts a lonely path for its seer or prophet - one which individuals must eventually take alone, if somehow later followed by fanatical groups, movements and entire societies.

The whole deal builds into a furious LAST QUARTER MOON, as feelings of woundedness, disgrace and neglect are contrasted against JUPITER/PLUTO's apparent abuse of power and position, expressed most subjectively through the protective nature of Cancer SUN.

Repressed, or 'dark' matters can develop into toxic problems, regardless of how well-masked and obscured using manipulation of ignorance, intimidation and abuse and torture.

This Capricorn Full Moon, just over 48 hours away, is the last of these mid-year eclipses. Big feelings are usually accompanied by these lunations, especially during Cancer season.

When the Lord of Fear, Separation, Scarcity and Hardship returns to his abode of caution, constriction, callousness, cynicism and contrivance, then know that we are back to the official agenda to cripple and maim the population...

As if Pluto transiting Capricorn (2008 – 2024) isn’t enough indication that we’re desperately trying …

Mars in Aries is primitive, his demeanour is highly subjective and appears completely oblivious to the world around him unless it fits into his vision...

A flurry of planets in retrograde, Mars entering Aries, Saturn's return to Capricorn, a tight conjunction of Jupiter/Pluto and Pallas squaring Eris, and the final lunar eclipse on July 4, impacting the chart of the USA to lead us into the second half of 2020.

As all other planets except MARS and URANUS are in retrograde, VENUS stations to go …

Do you sometimes wonder why the person you love and know so well is strangely …

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.

It takes lifetimes, entire generations of shielded hand-me-down care for a fine vase to become a valued piece of cultural antiquity. It takes all but a second for it to be shatterred and worthless.

Don't be too surprised when sophisticated robots and computer algorithms soon start to drive humans entirely out of the job market. With growing automation, all wealth and power is quickly becoming consolidated by a small group of elites who govern over the all-powerful algorithm companies, already producing unprecedented social and political inequality.

It's no secret. PLUTO in Capricorn (2008-2024) is slowly disintegrating all structures. Nothing is permanent but the pure light of self-emanating stars...

When MARS/NEPTUNE squares the SUN, be on the lookout for those energy vamps, those , psychically fixing to sap your creative ideas and suck out your abundant vitality.

June 21 (Solstice) is a time to celebrate light and honour the wisdom of the shadows. By recalibrating ourselves with the natural world in a way that honours the sacred immanence in all things, we attune our inner resonance with the seasons.

Friday's PENUMBRAL LUNAR ECLIPSE at 15°♐34' forms a supertight T-Square to MARS 15°♓52', planet of war, fire, fury, aggression and defence/AND A semisquare to SATURN 01°♒24'℞, planet of restriction, limitation, fear and control...

... what is currently happening around the world - the disgusting revelations of abuse of power by the martial dogs of "law-enforcement" is akin to the rage of Caliban seeing his own face in a glass.

We learn from our mistakes. But not what we are supposed to learn, only the things that make us madder..

Get a taste of what's about to erupt when MARS squares JUPITER/PLUTO/SATURN in Aug, Oct & Jan...

Whatever we think we know could be proven wrong as we gain more knowledge. No idea, theory or law is sacred and beyond question. Be willing to admit ignorance.

Strive to be refined, sociable, uniquely captivating.Endeavour to be autonomous and independent. Make some of your dreams a reality.

REMEMBER: We are in the midst of a Jupiter/Saturn conjunction to PLUTO, which means we are in it. When you're "in" something, it's hard to see yourself, in the very nature of that thing that you are in.

JUPITER retrograde in Capricorn places us into an unswerving inner struggle to find TRUTH.

The keynote of Venus is "love", "rhythm", "harmony", so if you want to know the nature of her operation, simply substitute 'Venus' for 'Love'.

MARS and MERCURY square at the critical (final) degree of fixed signs...

Here, at the close of the industrial age, we are entangled in a vast and sprawling global network of effectively organised corporations, all there to help us to adjust to the profound sickness that now engulfs our society.

If you’re well-adjusted, then ask yourself, adjusted to what?

By the end of next week, Saturn, Venus & Jupiter would have all turned retrograde. Slowly, we start to backtrack over the year.

And so it is. Full Moon time once again. As with every Full Moon, we reach the point in our lunation calendar that marks a climactic event - one whose nature is high-lighted both with daytime (solar/conscious) and night-time (lunar/reflective) perspectives, although their views are in diametric opposition.
