On August 2, 2016 at 1:49:59 PM EDT Mars finally re-entered Sagittarius, after boiling up all kinds of muck, with his re-entry back into Scorpio 9 weeks ago, pounding us with waves of revelations about our deepest, darkest thoughts and fears.
Now, he has pushed up the
under-belly for all the world to see and is galloping away in Sagittarius,
getting ready to pull back his quiver, he will take aim, you will hear the
sound as your arrow flies through the skies…where oh where shall it land…What
about timing?
The full moon on August 18th
at 5:26 AM EDT at 25*51’41” of Aquarius, is a lunar appulse eclipse, in which
the prenumbral shadow of the earth falls upon the moon, occulting her…she will
partially swallow up LaLuna…and will disintegrate that magical reflective
shield that reverses our image back to us…
Already we feel the powerful
undertow as she draws us out of the safety of our imaginary shells; some of us
may feel the cold dark hand of the unknown, disturbing our insular field and as
the illusion disintegrates, we peer out into the strange world beyond, a dark
void now occluding the left-over shards of our shattered dreams and broken
promises.
Saturn, or EL as we will recall,
is the LORD of the Rings…and EL-e-ment (mind) wants that structure…he is
LEAD. These two planets, Saturn and Neptune started this cycle back in the
late 80’s, when they were conjunct in Capricorn. They were last exact in that conjunction on March
3, 1989 at 11°53΄ Capricorn.
Old Saturn/EL is the cold-leaden
grip of reality…He rules old age and now at 9* of Sagittarius he is forming his
last square to Neptune/Poseidon who is now (at the time of the full moon
eclipse) at 11* of PIsces. They will
square exactly on September 10th. At 10*. Jupiter is the planet they both have in
common…as ruler of Sag and traditional ruler of PIsces…Jupiter/Zeus can be
implored for optimism and new expansion into the views of the future that are
trying to find a way into your life, what are those?
A cold and somber reality may
now be making its way past any illusion you may have had, regarding false
notions of spirituality as Poseidon’s watery dreams crash hopelessly on the
banks of EL’s leaden walls.
There have always been hucksters selling dreams, but as the excesses of the 80’s closed out, Saturn and Neptune were making a rather unholy alliance ready to seduce us out of ‘tried and true’ and suck us into a ‘void of irrational and unsustainable dreams’ that had no anchor in reality, especially as Uranus was at 4* nudging us into ‘taking a bold chance’ and cut and run into the promises any angel would whisper against the cold hard reality of Capricorn.
There we were standing at the
gates of the God’s…on the mountain tops and there is where you can look back to
Ariadne’s thread.
You see, the Uranus to Pluto
squares were all over that (11*) degree of Capricorn (and all the Cardinal
signs)…and they are still tripping that open as Uranus squeezes us into their
last square dance together, which will not slip inside the 3* mark and only come within 4*,
but this is a highly charged lock that is being picked off by our Guardian’s. This is not considered a part of the Uranus
sq. Pluto pattern and will not reach exact square again (thankfully) but make
no mistake, this is absolutely triggering closure to all they have and will
disgorge as they upend anything that could not withstand the fire of this
alchemical inferno.
Luckily, the God’s do know us,
they see our feeble attempts at pretending the world is not what it is, if not
for the very real pain and discomfort so many wish to escape.
We see this magnified in the
escalating use of heroin and other opioids, which includes the very legal, but
equally ravaging use of OxyContin.
On Christmas Eve, right before
Uranus turns fully direct again at 20* of Aries, he picks up support from
EL/Saturn who is at 20* of Sagittarius.
If you have managed to wait
until this opportune moment, your dreams have crystallized and you will see
clearly, the path forward that is both anchored in the reality of Saturn/EL
while he is now being supported with a new force that is clearly pushing us
into new ways to manage an aging population, some of us feeling this ourselves
in a very up front and personal way.
My personal prediction, is that
what we will see is a clearing house of candidates in the US through the
eclipses which have finished the Aries/Libra axis, and will ask us to really
use our imaginations to come up with wholly new ways to both assist the aging,
while marrying their wisdom to a youth, who cannot see their own future, choked
in the largess and excesses of the past.
Now that those of us on that
first wave, that was seeded during the Saturn/Neptune/Uranus conjunction are
getting a cold, hard slap with reality, those ‘Ivory Towers’ are falling…we
begin to rebuild a world that uses both the hEArt and the mind with an eye
towards future sustainability while the illusions that once occulted our
visions with lofty but unreal goals.
Notice how people don’t
understand each other? How distinctly
different one reality is from your perspective?
This is Babylon falling.
Remember, we were being taught
to ‘fake it until you make it’….the obvious should come screaming out in the
fallacy that literally under-lies this dubious proposition, in that it asks us
to disregard reality and um, that small little detail that never ever goes
away….THE TRUTH.
We were told that we live in an
‘abundant world’….so ask and you will receive anything you want? Um….that is true to a point. A narcissist sees the world as his or her
oyster, plump for the picking as long as people are naive enough to buy
whatever dream they are selling…that is only their dream…you have no part in
it, save for being a shoulder to step on and a pocket to pick.
And the EArth is not
limitless…so asking the universe to give you more…”things” is not in line with
her teachings and Saturn/EL is fully willing to come along and teach you this,
should you rebuke his lessons in favour for the IL-LUCE-IONS of
Neptune/Poseidon.
The earth takes work to make
things…infused with the dreams born into a fertile and open mind, that is
GROUNDED IN THE REALITY OF THE DOING TO MAKE A DREAM COME TRUE.
You can follow your bliss right
over a cliff…you see, testing the truth to any statement, is often not
comfortable territory, especially while we are in the learning curve of an OLD
Man, who rules TIME squaring the seas that want to cleanse and renew, even as
they hold up the mirror to reflect back to us, that dreams built up on shifting
sands will never hold up to the deluge, but those built on the ‘rock’…will
stand the tests of time, just look at the pyramids.
So, if you’ve managed to avoid
the treble hook of Neptune, she can’t rip out your guts now, as you try and
remove the hooks she may have sunk in, pulling you into the celluloid world she
rules with a dose of any drug of choice, which washes down the lies.
No, if you managed to swim
against the strong current of ‘wishful thinking’, then you have given birth to
something that will nurture you into your old age, but if you followed, an
addict’s path into nowhere, than this time might be a bit more difficult for
you.
These eclipses start another
cycle in Aquarius and Leo…so the fixed cross is emphasized, as we start to see
the new ground the Cardinal Signs of Aries, Cancer, Libra and Capricorn are now
excavating; since the ending of their own eclipse cycle with the tetrad of
eclipses last year. This won’t have a
lunar/solar ECLIPSE trigger until; the partial solar eclipse on Jul 13 2018 2:47:46
am GMT at 20°Cn41'14''.
For now, we have the ‘FIXED
SIGNS’ eclipsing out old patterns, to begin again anew with a streamlined and
coherent plan moving forward.
We are also still in the mutable
sign eclipse patterns, which started last year, the total solar eclipse on Mar
20 2015 at 9:36:08 am GMT at 29°Pi27'19'' and which will be triggered again
with the new moon solar eclipse on Sep 1, 2016 9:03:02 am GMT at 09°Vi21'10'', so don’t be jealous,
you have your own stuff that you are trying to squeeze through this opening,
that does not want waste, lies or you spending time, doing the same old thing,
making the same old mistakes, and it does not require deception to enter, quite
the contrary, it requires your truth.
So, the cardinal signs of
Aries/Cancer/Libra and Capricorn are going to go into the corkscrew ending this
year, with that last close encounter with Uranus in his square to Pluto/Hades,
and should be able to proceed forward with a much clearer picture of who they
are and where they are going.
But, I promise you, the phat
lady still has a song to sing for you…try not to make any changes until after
the Saturn trine to Uranus…which will arrive all doe-eyed on Christmas Eve.
You still don’t see all the
pieces to the puzzle, some have yet to arrive.
This has been brutal on some
families…whether it is siblings, parent and child or both, everybody has an
opinion, and the world is doing a good job of spinning us like your wash
machine, with every clinging to the sides of the walls, they refuse to stop
holding up…filled with their own opinions that shred the love that has fed them
for so long. How quickly they forget?
The truth is, if people were
able to be more honest, we have all had to watch each other make some pretty
unintelligent choices, or so they seem to be from our own nuanced
perspectives.
Remind yourself, that everyone
is acting out of such a high dose of fear now, it is almost like an
ex-communication of sorts…and people are trying to avoid pain at any cost, and
only the people we deeply hold in our hearts, can cause us the most pain, it is
also where we usually end up dumping all our waste, without stoking the fires
of love whose embers beg us to give them a little wind…EVERYONE IS BUILDING
WALLS.
A wall big enough, to keep the
boogeyman out of our lives…but is it really the right person we need to be
concerned about that we are building a wall between? Is that really where the source of our pain or
is it really an illusion?
Are we really building a wall
that boxes us in again, and perhaps
even keeps us from the person that assuages that pain? The very person we need.
even keeps us from the person that assuages that pain? The very person we need.
Have you relied on them before
in the past? Have they come through for
you?
I wouldn’t discard someone so
quickly, just because they remind you of who you are, and you don’t want to
hear the ugly truth. It also doesn’t
mean they have the whole picture, but there are an awful lot of people being
tricked into ‘building walls’ that will separate them from the very people they
love and will need again in the future.
More and more people, are finding
a way to be ‘alone’.
This way, they won’t be hurt,
by unintentional or intentional slights, which poke through the dream of who we
wish we were and ask us to take a cold, hard look at reality.
This can include: ‘How dare you
live ‘my dream’…while I am suffering and you aren’t even paying attention to
your responsibilities?’
What they are screaming inside
is: “How come I don’t get to live my dream?”
Because most people have had
their dreams shaken up, thus the Saturn square to Neptune at its most base understanding.
Queue: Eleanor Rigby…and all
the Lonely People…
Remember, she is wearing a face
that she keeps in a jar by the door…’who is it for’? All the lonely people.
What mask are you wearing or
have you been wearing?
How about: “I am so spiritually
evolved, I never get angry or upset?”…
Or…”I am so spiritually evolved
(Neptune Illusion/Delusion) that I only focus on the positive, because I don’t
want to make the negative any bigger?”….oops, so much for cleaning up the big
mess we all see… and totally lacking of Saturn’s lesson’s…that won’t go
well. Many of us, my self-included,
learned that lesson the very hard and real way.
Dreams are only become real, using Saturn…and his structure, time, and the
application of the will of Mars/Ares…which brings me to the next big trigger
point on (AU =Gold) August 24th, 2016 Mars and Saturn, meet up in the sky and
they are swimming with another interesting point, which is the fixed star
Antares (Anti-Ares/Mars) will conjoin in the sky at 10° Sagittarius. This trigger
point of the cycle that began on August 25th, 2014 when Mars and
Saturn converged in Scorpio at 24* to kick-start the cycle as Mars/Ares infused
his passion and will power (and blood-lust for war) and the Lord of the Rings
collared that energy into uprooting the detritus that Scorpio is comfortable
with.
Let’s not forget, that Saturn
in Scorpio and Pluto in Capricorn were in mutual reception, so the trigger to
the Uranus / Pluto squares was like a daisy–chain, set to this hair-trigger
just ready to go off, and off it has gone now in bigger and littler explosions
of humanity rising up against the state…all over the planet. Click, click, click the explosive energy as
the shots were fired from a very hot barrel.
Fallen, fallen is Babylon
falling all over the world.
At the end of chasing dreams,
usually people want to find their pot of gold at the end of the rainbow…for
many, the pot is not so full of gold, and their dreams are all but dust in the
wind.
Many will do an about face in
life now, move in entirely new directions.
How will you marshal the energy
of Mars/Ares into the newly forming structure that Saturn is now asking you to
consider? This aspect to Antares, can
make the newly forming drive a bit obsessive.
You see, now that Neptune has
all but pulled the curtain down on the emperor and showing us he has no
clothes, he is also showing a lot of people, they don’t have a plan that is
realistic.
We are about to see the world
go to work and work very hard. This
time, it won’t be for some ‘future world’, but the reality of here and now.
Saturn in Sagittarius, means we
will have to take into account, a global world that does not have boundaries,
though that will be a continued struggle to negotiate.
We have to make education
sustainable for as many as possible (which is very doable now, with the
internet, but there are those who will not take their hands off the till…).
We also have the subject of student debt coming up and there are idea’s being
tossed out to completely pay off that debt for those students… (This is not
Saturn’s idea at all btw) for them…a very slippery Neptunian promise.
No responsibility is never an
answer, the argument that it will put spending back into the economy may have
merit, but that is true for anyone with debt then, is it not? You know what people do? They rack up more debt, until they go through
enough pain, to make more responsible choices, tough lessons.
Surely we should be able to
find a middle ground, forgive interest and penalties for starters, we did this
when we bailed out the banks that were too big to fail, and we see that when we
bailed them out, they have merely done the same thing, what were the
consequences of their actions? No Saturn
there?
All of this will lead up to the
New Moon eclipse on September 1, with the sun and the moon at 9* of Virgo, and
she will ask us to again, make cogent plans that have the ‘details’ worked out.
I see a light at the end of the
tunnel, and as my friend Nancy reminded me through another good friend Cathy,
and my parents were telling me from the other side, the light is
increasing. Yes, we see a lot of stuff
we didn’t see before, and it is uncomfortable and frightening at times, but we
couldn’t see it, if the light was not growing so very bright.
Jupiter, ruler of Sagittarius
closely conjoins Mercury and Venus in Virgo at 26* while Mercury/Hermes is at
27* and Venus is at 23* and they are all dancing with the head of the dragon at
13* if Virgo:
while Mars conjoins with Saturn/EL and Antares. Zeus is benefiting all matters of Virgo, details, service, health and health care as he magnifies what needs to be seen, some of the details may become uncomfortable reminders if we haven’t tended to them in any significant matter. Not to worry, this will help to bring it all up front and center.

So, there is a lot of
frustration out there, how can you blame people for seeking a heaven they are
promised, when the heat is turned up so high on earth, they begin to believe
they are in hell?
It is going to take work and
co-operation, respect for elders and concern for our youth and the world we are
leaving them.
Listen to them, they are
already making their own new way and it is not the same road that many of us
took. They aren’t buying homes, they are
living in vans and makeshift campers.
Many don’t drive, they take public transportation, they don’t want to
invest in vehicles whose worth rusts shut any other real opportunity they have
to create value in their lives, while trying not to sacrifice life itself in
the process….in other words, they don’t want to save to start to live.
How will that work out for them?
I have no idea, but it is these
new trends we must keep our eyes on, if we are going to know how best to
navigate our own future trends and somehow, aging gracefully without being
abandoned…with all the lonely people.
Oh, where do they all come
from?
Watch them walk upon the carcasses of dreams, left on the Killing Floor of Reality.
