Dante's Inferno Cracking Open the Depths

At 12:11PM EST the sun seemingly slows to a ‘standstill’ and we arrive at the golden gates of in-between as sun shines for the least amount of hours and we are covered in darkness, yet in many parts, the sparkling snow will blanket the ground and the stars will appear to have fallen to the ground.

Yes, we have arrived at the time of the Winter Solstice, which officially marks the entrance to winter, but in a few days, we shall see the return of the sun…finally!  Enough of the dark days already!

The sun has reached its southern-most position and will start its course northward in the early degrees of Capricorn, the goat.  He is starting his trek towards an alignment with Pluto/Hades and will meet up with the Lord of the underworld on New Year’s Day, which also happens to be the New Moon at 5:15AM.

But on his way towards his rendezvous with La Luna and Hades at first 10* then 11*(with Pluto/Hades) he has some powerful points that will open the depths of the universe; already the turning spiral of stars has been buzzing with powerful if not crushing energy, especially as the moon went into her full light in Gemini at 25* on December 17th.

For many, it may have felt as though we were navigating Dante’s Inferno, with powerful emotions being triggered as Mars (drive/passions/motivation/energy) motored forward at 4* of Libra, beginning his T-square  as he squared Pluto (death/sex/taxes)and began his opposition to Uranus (Lord of the sky/community/genius/aha moments/sudden changes).  With the duplicitous and frenetic energy of Gemini, the moon becomes scattered, emotions are like a windstorm, and opposing the sun in jocular Sagittarius, with the cardinal cross looming, the sense of dread, of doom and of frustration emerges.  Sag the Centaur wants freedom to roam and move forward.

With Uranus newly gone direct with the new moon too, it is hard to keep things in your hands, as they seemingly fly out and crash onto the floor, papers, pens, whatever it is, wants to be heard and irritate as the static energy bursts open, computers, cell phones all things technological do their darndest to go haywire and not run smoothly.

Gemini rules children, and Mercury the messenger guarding the crossroads of temptation can be a very alluring trickster, with all the bells and whistles tempting the child in us to ‘break free’ of restrictions and climb down the stairway all bedazzled and sweetly scented for the descent into the inferno, though they are completely unaware of the dangers that lie ahead.

Yes, Dante’s Inferno has all but cracked open, and we still have yet to hit the harder aspects forming…because Jupiter has reversed his course, his Sagittarian realms of joy and abundance are being sucked into the Grand Cardinal Cross which we will surely feel on Christmas day, even though the degrees are a bit wide, Mars/Ares will be pairing up with LaLuna in Libra bringing the energy of the square to Jupiter/Zeus as they squeeze the heavens together.  For anyone who has planets in these Cardinal signs, especially in the degrees between 8-13*, you will surely feel the weight of these great changes even more acutely.  A change is going to come, and we haven't even hit the next big square in April, let alone the culmination in 2015, so set your sails with the right winds NOW!

So, Cerberus may seem as just a playful ‘two-headed’ (as this theme is rampant with Gemini/Janus) dog when the children approach the lair, but returning is another story altogether.  Who can cross the river Styx?  Saint Barbara will be called upon many times during these days by those who are wise, and Saint Christopher would be a wise bet too, for if you have ventured into the time of no time, of the dark swallows, best you have the tools of the Arc with you, or a lament with the sweetness of Hermes lyre playing in the background, might be more like the wales of the gallows, tormented by the ravaging wolves returning hungry and cold.  One can only hope you have fed them, lest your cries be hope rising from the depths.  We can expect many to transition now, and this is said with the heaviest of hearts, but we cannot always be laughing on the sunny side of the street.
There will be sickness, we will see the first of what will become more and more predominant as we fight back the ravages of technology gone wrong on our planet, and deal with the doorways that have been opened through genetic manipulation, and the real cost of nuclear power (ruled by Pluto/Hades) as it casts its pall across the blue ball of Gaia, will we wake up in time?

And where is Jupiter/Zeus retrograde?  He is in Cancer which is ruled by the moon, so this square is potent, and the grand cross in Cardinal signs of: Cancer, Libra, Capricorn and Aries are like flint-stones ready to start fires, instigate and they will burn down the house that Cancer rules if you don’t watch the tempers or fuel the flames with ‘the spirits’ of sorts.

Questions such as ‘what is home’ and being as it is the wanderlust Jupiter/Zeus, ‘where is home’ will also be tugging at the heart-strings.


 ~Because if we aren’t grounded and rested, we won’t have the energy necessary to deal with the onslaught that keeps coming and coming.  And we will need plenty of Breathing Easy © to help us keep breathing and fight off the nasty bugs floating around, that will surely overtake us if we let our systems run down too far, trying to keep up with the hectic pace that is spinning in all directions.

Now, the new moon on January 1, 2014 at 5:15AM has the royal wedding of the sun and la Luna hitching their lights to Hades with Mercury the Messenger (one of the few God’s that Hades will entertain) all having a party in the cave of the underworld, we can expect some depraved thoughts and worse to swallow and entice us, should we ‘break’ our own moral compass and step out of the safety zone of the heart.  Expect some of the most unusual stories to emerge on the big screen, as the theme of what is perverted permeates the celluloid world and begs us to have the conversation about right and wrong and what is LOVE?

With Venus/Aphrodite leading the line- up, as if she is running away, being chased by daemons at 26* of Capricorn, what Pandemonium may ensue or Plutocratic blanket will cover us, perhaps sympathy for Persephone as Hades drags her down for company will lap over our darkened spirits and heart, as our own hearts break under pressure and we all commiserate, there but for the grace of God go I.

Saturn/El, the Lord of the Rings, (structure/hierarchy/establishment) now at 20* of Scorpio, is no longer ready to assist Hades, as their mutual reception has widened we will no longer feel the firm ground beneath us, and floor may seem as it has fallen out from under our feet.  Watch your step, your knees as they buckle under the immense weight of the watery depths of Scorpio, look to the firm anchor you may have created (hopefully) in the home, as only Jupiter/Zeus will support his disloyal father in a trine, yet even he is moving away, as he seems to move backward, stepping deeper into the crab’s clutches, and not wanting to let go of the treasures he has buried there.

And to think, all of this is only the foothills of what is to come, when the end of Janus turning her head like Medusa on January 27th, we can only hope and pray that we are on the right side when she turns her head towards us…

The energy is like pop rocks inside, bursting and buzzing with both anticipation and trepidation…something very big is about to happen…Fasten your seatbelts!

Better take some nice baths with ArcAncient’s ‘Inner Glow’ for the heart:


Happy HolyDays.

Pluto In Capricorn, The Evolution of the World Soul and Social Order



Pluto will be travelling in Capricorn until November 20, 2024.  It enters on January 26, 2008.  The last time Pluto went into Capricorn was on January 8, 1762, and he left on December 2, 1778.
The transit lasted 16 years.
So, I thought it would be a good time to look a little deeper into this, who is Pluto anyway and what does all this mean?  Let’s start with the basics.

Pluto: Greek God of the underworld, son of Saturn Or Kronos (El, Lord of the Rings, see writing on Saturn) who was known as Hades in the Roman Mythological hierarchy.
He is death, destruction and transformation.  As the ruler of the 8th house and Scorpio, he rules sex and reproduction and the wealth and riches of the earth.  In fact, the Greek word for wealth is ploutos, and rulership by the wealthy is a plutocracy.
We also find accounts of other people’s money in the 8th house.  Taxes, inheritance and alimony as well as divorce will all be found under the umbrella of the 8th house.  I also read marriages and commitment in the 8th house.
 One must cross the river Styx (water always being the medium between worlds/dimensions/birth; even a ship is given birth into the water ways she will be voyaging).

Once across the river, one will be greeted by Hades' three-headed dog, Cerberus.
But let’s back up a bit, for who takes you on that journey?  It is Hermes whom we know of as Mercury in Astrology.  Hermes/Mercury rules the crossroad, the traveler and all things related to travel and communication, he is the guardian of the journey.
We see him with winged feet and helmet, being fleet of foot.  Now in the Christian version, the Saint that helps one across the river is St. Christopher.
We can add another affiliation; St. Barbara is the Patron Saint of mining (buried treasures of the earth) so there is a relation with the god of the underworld here too; anyone working on buried treasures (we can see that this can imply the buried treasures within our earthly vessel too, mining these treasures or unearthing them, would require these rulers.)
Hades/Pluto was devoured by Kronos/Saturn when he was born; along with four of his siblings.  One of those siblings was Zeus, who caused the Saturn/Cronos to disgorge them, vomiting them up.  Together they battled the titans and drove them into the depths of Tartaros and afterward the three brothers divided up the cosmos and Hades was awarded the dark underworld; Poseidon (Neptune) was given the seas and Zeus (Jupiter) got pretty much everything else.
We can see that Pluto/Hades is the farthest planet from us and the sun.  He is at the edge of our universe, cold, barren and lonely.  He is continuously travelling farther and farther away from us, since our universe is expanding.
Either way, we can see that this is the dark underworld, and it is also POWER.
Pluto/Plutonium also rules atomic energy, POWER, which can light up the world, but it can also destroy the world.
In between, it can cause a lot of destruction, but harnessed we can see the results of power directed and controlled. 

Hades fears no other god, so he is called upon to deal with anyone abusing power, or playing god.  Pluto/Hades will bring up our deepest darkest fears, and can be quite unsettling.  He is the ruler of fear.  Saturn can bring up fears, for a different reason, he is more of a reprimander, doling out restrictions and consequences when we break the LAW or rules.  When we don’t regulate or discipline ourselves, Saturn will step into create the discomfort or punishment accordingly.

Hades wanted a wife, so he asked his brother Zeus for his beautiful daughter Persephone.
However, Hades knew Persephone wouldn’t want to willingly come with him to stay in Hades, so he kidnapped her (raped her) and this has been painted and discussed by artists and poets, such as Rembrandt, Pignoni,  and others. 
He kidnapped Persephone and dragged her into his lair and made her his wife, by force.  If it weren’t for the tenacity of Persephone’s mother, Demeter, she wouldn’t have been allowed to return topside to earth in spring to allow the blooming of spring.
This is the story and origins of why we have the changing seasons now.

Mars was the original ruler of Scorpio until we discovered Pluto and he was named the new ruler.  Mars has to do with our energy and power, our ambitions and drives and we can see how Pluto relates to all of these on a different level.  Pluto is an octave of Mars.
Some people are more aware of the undercurrents of motivations and power, some are less so.  All of the inner planets; Mercury, Venus, Moon, Mars, Jupiter and Saturn are the ‘visible’ or personal planets.  Saturn is the last of the inner planets/visible planets in the sky.
This provides a good basis for understanding the outer planets; Uranus, Neptune and Pluto being the last of those; but we can see that when it comes to the outer planets they are not as easy to see or feel in our lives, but hold great potential in how they affect us and are known as the 'trans-personal' or generational planets. 

Pluto has been called the evolutionary planet by famous astrologer, Jeffrey Green, who is well regarded as an astrologer; particularly when it comes to Pluto, and he is right on when he says it has to do with the soul’s evolution.
Once Pluto is making an aspect to you, there is no turning back.  Pluto’s dog Cerberus, who is cheerful with tail wagging when he greets you upon arrival, will turn vicious should you attempt to return.  So, once you are kidnapped by Pluto and taken into his occult underworld, where the invisible and unseen takes over, until the death/rebirth process is complete, you must complete your journey into the world of Hades.

Pluto can be like a blow torch or blast furnace; he will burn off all the dross and leave only that which has integrity and is pure.  While he transforms you, he reveals the heart of who you are.
He does rule death and regeneration the Phoenix so aptly suits him.  I personally died when Pluto was conjunct in transit to my natal sun when I was just 17 years old.  Now of course there were other aspects that magnified this transit for an actual death to occur, but none the less, he does portend death.  This doesn’t have to be an actual physical death, but it may be the death of a situation, cycle, practice or the end of superficialities or insignificant or outworn habits that are no longer serving you, or keeping you from something even deeper that needs to be revealed in this life.

Now, besides the phoenix, who burns up in flames and then rises reconstructed from the ashes (alchemy) another symbol for Scorpio is the Eagle and the snake.
A lot of talk came up recently with the mentioning of Ophiuchus, who is the serpent handler that stands in the heavens between Scorpius and Sagittarius.  He is the 13th house of the zodiac that disappeared and as we have now read, Pluto represents the ‘unseen worlds’.  Now, let us add to this that what we see when we look up into the heavens when we see an eagle; consider that he flies closest to the sun without getting burned, he flies above storms, but he can also land on the ground and walk the earth.  In the mysteries, we learn that the occulted is also hidden in plain sight for clues.
The eagle holds onto the serpent, therefore he is a ‘serpent handler’ too.
Now we see how this has been hidden in the depths of the 8th house.
So too, do we want to use the POWER of the eagles talons to handle the snake, to become a snake charmer; for we must be wise as serpents, but gentle as doves.

Pluto in Capricorn

Capricorn, the goat climbs to the top of the mountain.  Capricorn is ruled by Saturn/Cronus the Lord of the Rings, EL.  It is Janus, the two-headed god who can see both ways in life, he can review history and also plan ahead for the future that he CLEARLY SEES coming.  He has become wise with the discipline of Saturn/EL that he now has learned to obey without complaint, since he knows this is the only way to deliver the LIGHT THAT COMES INTO THE EARTH PLANE, THROUGH THE SOUL.  He knows the value of discipline and temperance.
Capricorn rules the 10th house of the zodiac and is also known as Pan the Goat (Pandemonium/Pandemic).  We may see this when Pluto and Saturn meet up in Capricorn on 01/12/2020 HIGH NOON in EST at 22*.
It rules ambition and our desire to stand on the world stage, or on top of the mountain.
Whatever is in the way, can become another stepping stone, depending on the rest of the influences, but as a rule, the goat wants to reach the top of the mountain, and they are very capable and agile.  Ever see a goat on top of a mountain, or just hanging out on what appears to be a flat wall?  It looks impossible to see them on those sheer cliffs with such ease but ever climbing to the pinnacle!

Briefly, Saturn rules the hierarchy, positions of power, the establishment, church, regulations, etc. He is the old man and patriarchy.  He is what orders our world.

So, we see we have Pluto the transformer in the sign of Capricorn, ruler of the mountain and all that is on top of that mountain or pyramid if you will.  This is truly when we see the rise and the fall of kingdoms, governments and the revealing of Plutocracy or lack thereof.
Picture an evolving nuclear fireball inside of a mountain, tearing it up from the inside, save for what can withstand or is impervious somehow to that nuclear fireball and you get the idea of what is happening.  We also see on our own world stage, a nuclear fireball, literally churning up the shores of the Pacific, inside the crypt of Fukushima.  FUK U SHE MA.  The universe speaks so loudly when you are paying attention.

We started this piece with the last time Pluto went into Capricorn which was on January 8, 1762 and he left on January 27, 1778. 
Here is what was happening with the other outer planets including Saturn during that same timeframe:

Neptune/Poseidon was leaving its transit in Virgo and entering Libra.
Saturn and Uranus were in the sign of Aries. On May 13, 1761 they were conjunct
at 7°38.  With Pluto in Capricorn, we automatically infer the square to Uranus and Aries, we see the tense aspect through history.

Neptune has recently entered Pisces (opposing Virgo) on February 3, 2012.  She will remain there for the next 14 years.  She is in rulership in PIsces.  Poseidon is the mystery of the deep seas or our subconscious.  She is the seahorse, our hippocampus in the limbic system, where we feel, fight or flight.  This is the Charioteer of the Tarot.
Saturn was in Virgo  when Pluto entered Capricorn this time ~ and Uranus was in Pisces as they danced back and forth in their oppositions.  Uranus is now in Aries at 5*47’.  We can expect some interesting changes when Uranus reaches that 7* placement again, dredging up that energy from 1761/1762.

What happened back in 1762?  (which would equate to 2008)
January 4, England declares war on Spain and Naples.
May 5, Russia and Prussia sign peace treaty.
June 28, Russian tsarina Catharina II grabs power.
November 3, England and Spain signs Treaty of Paris.
The French Indian War is still raging, but…

Doesn’t sound so bad, does it?
What about 1763? (2009)
We have the Proclamation of 1763; Feb 10th - Treaty of Paris ends French-Indian War, surrendering Canada to England.
Initially, this lead to great celebration in the colony’s, since they felt the ceding of the land by the French would open up the territories for further expansion and easy access.
The proclamation, in effect, closed off the frontier to colonial expansion.  King George III, who became King of the United Kingdom of Great Britain on 25th October 1760 and reigned until his death on 29th January 1820; presented the proclamation as a measure to calm the fears of the Indians, who felt that the colonists would drive them from their lands as they expanded westward.  A lot of the colonists feared that King George III was trying to pen them into the seaboard, so they would be easier to REGULATE.

This is important to point out, since the words fear and regulate have a lot to do with Pluto in Capricorn.
Let’s move onto 1764 (2010)
Jul 23rd - James Otis publishes views on taxation without representation.
We see the people, are beginning to really become vocal in standing up to the state/establishment which at the time, is King George III.
Edward Gibbon’s begins working on “The History of the Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire”.  Many people make the case that the Roman Empire never actually fell, it just went underground and all roads still lead to Rome.
http://www.thetrumpet.com/article/7879.21396.132.0/religion/roman-catholicism/why-rome-never-fell

In the following year, 1765 (2011) we see things start to really become revolutionary (Pluto in Capricorn square to Uranus occulting Saturn/EL) when The Stamp Act was passed by the British Parliament on March 22, 1765.  This new tax would be levied on all colonists; for every piece of paper they used; newspapers, licenses, legal documents and other publications ~ even playing cards would be taxed!  This, like most collected taxes then and now, was to be used to defray the cost of defending the Appalachians which required 10,000 troops.
Though it was actually not a substantial amount of money, it was the standard that was being set, the colonists found objectionable.
Patrick Henry steps in with his outline on objections to address the King and England.
Henry, at a meeting of the Virginia House of Burgesses, proposed seven resolutions against the Stamp Act. The first four resolutions were adopted and passed by the House of Burgesses.
We can see the beginning of our own Union, when we read the following:
Resolved, that by two royal charters, granted by King James I, the colonists aforesaid are declared entitled to all liberties, privileges, and immunities of denizens and natural subjects to all intents and purposes as if they had been abiding and born within the Realm of England.  And further:
Resolved, that the taxation of the people by themselves, or by persons chosen by themselves to represent them, who can only know what taxes the people are able to bear, or the easiest method of raising them, and must themselves be affected by every tax laid on the people, is the only security against a burdensome taxation, and the distinguishing characteristic of British freedom, without which the ancient constitution cannot exist.

This is Pluto in Capricorn at its finest.
Now watch this resolution:
Resolved, therefor that the General Assembly of this Colony have the only and exclusive Right and Power to lay Taxes and Impositions upon the inhabitants of this Colony and that every Attempt to vest such Power in any person or persons whatsoever other than the General Assembly aforesaid has a manifest Tendency to destroy British as well as American Freedom.
That is powerful!
  ***Pluto and the 8th house represent TAXES!***
On Mar 17th, 1766 (2012) - Britain repeals the Stamp Act.  But the stage was set for what would follow.  Britain and King George III was not done, on Jun 29th, 1767 - British passes Townshend Revenue Act levying taxes on America.

By 1768 (2014)
Pluto is now at 11* Capricorn and on July 21st opposes Saturn exactly when they are at 11*, with Saturn in Cancer at 11*.
Feb 11th - Samuel Adams letter circulates around American colonies, opposing Townshend Act taxes.  This leads to:
1769 (2015)

Merchants in Philadelphia join the boycott of British trade goods.  George Mason writes a set of resolutions that George Washington presents to the Virginia House of Burgesses. Virginia Resolves oppose taxation without representation and British threatens to send American

Agitators to England for trial.
Franciscan Friar Juniper Serra founds territory in California.

1770 (2016)
Violence erupts between the Sons of Liberty and 40 British soldiers in New York over posting of broadsheets by the British.
March 5, 1770 the Boston Massacre occurs that ends with 5 deaths and the arrest of the British captain, Thomas Preston who is charged with murder.  Preston is successfully defended by John Adams.
Townshend Acts are repealed by the British, all duties are eliminated except for the tax on tea.

1771 (2017)

1772 (2018)

In Boston a 21-member committee of correspondence is appointed to communicate with other colonies, after several weeks 3 radical proclamations are written, asserting the colonies right to rule.

1773 (2019)

Virginia House of Burgesses appoints an eleven-member committee of correspondence to communicate with other colonies.  Thomas Jefferson and Patrick Henry are among those members.

May 10, the Tea Act takes effect, that maintains an import tax on tea arriving in the colonies.  This gives the almost bankrupt British East India Company a virtual tea monopoly allowing them to sell directly to colonial agents, bypassing middlemen and underselling American merchants.
October, colonists hold a mass meeting in Philadelphia opposing the tea tax and the monopoly of the East India Company.  A town meeting held in November endorses the actions taken by the Philadelphia colonists.
Several weeks later, three ships with their cargo of tea make the fateful sail into Boston harbor.

December 16, the Boston Tea Party occurs.  342 containers of tea are dumped into Boston harbor.


1774 (2020)

The Intolerable Acts were passed by the British Parliament that includes 5 laws against the American colonies.

1775 (2021)
On April 19th, the first shots were fired against the British who were hastily retreating on a 16-mile trek back to Boston by militiamen.  300 British soldiers were killed, wounded or missing in action.

The Revolution had now officially begun.

The Dawn of the American Revolution, 1768-1776

This only took Pluto in Capricorn 6 years to foment the dissolution and the coalescence of a new order; one created by the people over a king they felt was abusing his power.  All of this is the epitome of Pluto in Capricorn, and the square to both Saturn and Uranus during this transit of Pluto further activates the evolution.
A difference I might point out now, is that with Saturn conjunct Uranus in Aries in 1761, we had the container and discipline of Saturn controlling and putting order into Uranus (change and the people).  Saturn and Uranus were in opposition this time in 2008, the first opposition was on Nov 3, With Saturn in Virgo and Uranus in Pisces, they moved into Libra and Aries respectively; Pluto entered Capricorn, squaring both of them in that opposition, also known as a T-Square.
This is exemplified by the division we see and feel in congress and in the people, most are in one of two camps either Republican or Democrat.  Essentially we have the people vs. the people which is a division that takes away the energy of the square to Pluto/the state or corporations.
As that opposition wears off between Saturn and Uranus, we will start to see a coalescing again, though with deepened wounds.  Uranus takes some people and moves them forward, while Saturn holds the rest hostage to a bygone time and usually, one in which people feel they had more control of the power they feel they are losing.
In the meantime, Pluto ruling the underworld also means that there can be a lot that is going on behind the scenes that is only in the open for those who have eyes to see.
No-one likes giving up power and usually will not do so willingly.
Thus, the power struggle can ensue.

I would add that with Saturn moving into Libra after that, where Saturn is dignified, he is exalted in Libra, and we had some desire for balance and fairness. This also came onto the world stage as we saw people all over the globe, demanding their rights and trying to use peaceful means to do so.  (Saturn opposition to Uranus, T-Square to Pluto).

What might make this path clearer and calm the agitated Olympian gods?  Orpheus used the power of love and music (Neptune/Poseidon) which is an octave of Venus; when he descended into the depths of Hades to plead for his wife's (Eurydice) release after she was bitten by, what else? ~a serpent.  Here is where it is interesting; Venus (Aphrodite) seduces Aries according to mythic lore.  Ares was not easily seduced, but it is the beauty and love of Aphrodite that causes Ares/Mars to put down his weapons.    They make love and are caught by Helios who proceeds to inform Aphrodite’s husband Lord Hephaestus.  Hephaestus created a trap with his metalworking of which he was a master, he ensnared the couple.
He implores the gods to give him back all the gifts he has given in courtship.
It is only through Poseidon’s (Neptune who is lord of the Sea) offer to pay the adulterer's damages if Ares defaults that softens Hephaistos up enough to loosen the bonds.  So we see how Neptune/Poseidon’s charms are very necessary when it comes to dealing with lord of the underworld, Hades/Pluto.  Neptune/Aphrodite also rules illusion/delusion and have you seen those hooks on her symbol?  Jesus 'walks on the water' because He is above the illusion of the water.  He separates the waters...
Making music, singing, creating art and especially and only if one is creating that art from the heart is one of the secrets to opening the depth of magic that Neptune rules.  Orpheus's playing was so sad and melancholy, Persephone and Pluto were so deeply moved, it was as if Orpheus was playing the strings of their hearts and they couldn't help themselves but to release Eurydice.  (Though, once again, Eurydice's looking back proves to be fatal, just like Lot's wife).
Orpheus played and seduced everyone who could hear the melodious and melancholy song, drawing the birds in, attenuating the movement of the rivers and bringing the beasts to a complete standstill, all desiring to listen to the muse.  Even the unhearing realms parted to listen to the magic of Orpheus's music.
"[Orpheus'] wife Eurydike died from a snake-bite.  (the snake again being under the rule of


Pluto and the 8th house, Scorpio.)

At the end of 2019, we will really start to see things become crazier on the world stage.  Pluto, Saturn and Jupiter are all forming conjunctions to each other that have not happened in Capricorn for 500 years or more.
Back then, we saw the American Revolution as this post elaborates, but we also saw the rise and fall of other nations.  With the USA Pluto Return, if we don't wake up to each other and become the MOB, then the rise of the dictators will divide and conquer.
Security and surveillance will increase and become dystopian, IF WE DON'T WAKE UP TO EACH OTHER.


These are some charts for some powerful events that we are entering...both on the planet as a whole and for the USA as we will surely shed some old skin, reopen wounds, visit our shadows and collectively bring about a change of the country and government as we know it.  Pluto will have the rich working hard to keep more and more of the wealth and 'power' and stirring up the pot against the people, dividing them up amongst each other.  Will we see through this division or will the martialing agents have war distracting us from each other once again?
The eclipse pattern coming starting in August of 2017, will provide a 'TOTAL ECLIPSE' that divides the north from the south triggering a possible powder-keg of the old Mason-Dixon line all over again.  Then in April of 2024, the pattern comes across from the south to the north to create a large X across the nation...what version shall emerge from this celestial warning in the sky?  The rise and fall of nations, men and even the physical earth itself shall surely be a part of this major spectacle.
1771=2017, 1772=2017, 1773=2019, 1774=2020, 1775=2021, 1776=2022, 1777=2023, 1778=2024 when Pluto leaves Capricorn and enters Aquarius.

New Year 2013 Astrological Currents


Happy New Year of 2013!

Well, we have by most accounts crossed the great divide and we are beginning to move into the other side and into the light.  This is the perfect time to illustrate this using the analogy of the Winter Solstice, which is the Sun standing still in the heavens and then proceeding to move forward (after three days) increasing daylight in the Northern Hemisphere.  Now, even though this is true, the increase happens slowly, incrementally until the summer solstice, when this changes.  This is the beginning of the light out of darkness in the 26,000 year cycle.

So too is this crossing into the Age of Aquarius going to be an incremental and slow shift with the ‘Awakener’ Uranus’s domain and the Great Revealing.  We will follow the man with the vase into his house of Aquarius.

The planetary alignments all help to unlock this great lock, if we listen closely, we can almost hear the tumblers dropping the links as each aspect conspires to inspire us into the greater awareness of who we are in the universe individually and as a people/humankind.

As we have stated many times now, there is a powerful square from Uranus (the Awakener) in Aries to Pluto (Transformer) in Capricorn happening and which will continue until the last exact square on March 16, 2015.  We must add however, that the three degree orb between the square will be ebbing back and forth as both Pluto and Uranus retrograde and will not be free of each other because of this orb until April 20 of 2016! So transformation it is.

THE COST OF WAR
With the square, Uranus is ripping the fabric of time and being transformed in the fires of Pluto.   Pluto has been pounding in the death nail in Capricorn and demanding not only that Capricorns transform into a more evolved version of the previous manifestation, but that all those on the Cardinal cross do too. In the meantime, Uranus transiting Aries magnifies that Ram, the head of the chart and our version and concept of war and how we do battle; how we follow the words, “I AM” in our life and our personal world or sacrifice to the greater good of the group/community.  As Uranus awakens that aspect of us, we question what we are fighting for or about and think of new ways to deal with the aggressive nature of Mars the warrior.
Make not mistake, this is Pluto's year.  We might remember Orpheus and his quest to retrieve his bride.  The myth demonstrates the importance of Pluto "the Rich" as the possessor of a quest-object. Orpheus performing before Pluto and Persephone was a common subject of ancient and later Western literature and art, and one of the most significant mythological themes of the classical tradition. ~ from Wiki.

So, do you think you have something unique that you have not found and nurtured to bring into this world or have you done this already?  How have you evolved?  Have you made your quest to Pluto?  Have you rescued your sacred partner or gone in before the Gods to steal some fire?  Prometheus?

Can we have our own unique sense of self and the FREEDOM to express our individuality or must we sacrifice that freedom for some sense of security?

On the other end of that spectrum, how much freedom are we entitled to before that impinges on the rights of the community/others?

Our government is responding through the use of drones and increased spy-warfare and surveillance.  New Technology (Uranus in Mars) They want to remove more of our freedoms (Uranus) or we could even say, cause the death (Pluto) of them.


Now, this square is the first hard transit to each other since they were ‘married’ or conjunct in Virgo back in the 60’s.  In October of 1965 we had Uranus conjunct Pluto at 18* of Virgo.  Right there in the middle the two come together in the land of the Virgin, the service people of the world and those who want us to learn how to make more with less or do without.  They want organization and order to streamline efficiency. 

This conjunction happens in the middle of another Saturn to Uranus opposition when Saturn was at 18* of Pisces and Uranus was at 18* Virgo as stated previously.  Those oppositions happened between April 1, 1965 until January 1, 1967 and happened again starting on November 3, 2008 in reverse position at 18* Virgo and Pisces respectively.  (Now do you hear the tumblers?)

So the Lord of time was giving the opposing field of creation/stress to Uranus and Pluto in Virgo.  This is also important in the natal chart, to understand the path one has traveled and where the Transformer, the Awakener and the structure of hierarchy and time have meted out their energies to awaken, organize and transform us.

We must start back when they were conjunct in Virgo, who rules HEALTH & SERVICE and the Sabian symbol for 19* deg Virgo  is ‘A Swimming Race’.

This coincides with the full moon we had in March's Virgo full Moon in 2012 which occurred on March 8.  So we have been in a race all the way since then, but the tumult and true goal has always been within us, with the results in panoramic display all around us for those with eyes to see.

She asked us back then, (In the conjunction of Pluto and Uranus and the opposition of Saturn and Uranus in 1965 and again when it came up in 2008 then in the new moon in March, they are triggers) to watch what we were doing with our bodies, to the earth and our food.  She told us, that there was transformation of Health and the earth taking place and that we needed to pay attention.  There she was, even as Saturn opposed this very degree back then too, in Pisces the ‘swimmer/fish’ and so the emotional content pops us, the spiritual depths of our belief’s and psyche’s are all being challenged.

This all is based on how much we have learned to control ourselves, our drives, our emotions and how we have set our goals.  We have to step out of the race, to ask ourselves where are we going and who are we in the race with?  Remember, if you are looking at the other racers, you are losing the race and energy necessary to make it to the finish line.

No one does the sabian symbols better than Lynda Hill, so a look at what she wrote on the full moon in 2012, is a wonderful insight into what we are all dealing with now.


On the other end of this spectrum, Saturn in the opposition: Pisces 19
Sabian Symbol: The young man and old one have walked many miles but as master and pupil they neither are fatigued.

Now, how does that fit?  We simply must tap into our elder self, the one that has journeyed this path so many times and came for just this time.  I know, this could and probably has gotten old, with so many tired right now.  What sleep are you really getting?  That is one thing;we just need in gobs and gobs.  Don’t short this out, because without it, everything else becomes more challenging and daunting.

As these planets rip the fabric of our world apart, so too do we see the electromagnetic field around us being punctured with holes and new and very strange cloud formations.

Now, there are plenty of what are called ‘conspiracy’s’ regarding the origins of these cloud formations.  I mention that they are ‘so called’ because the word conspiracy has a lot of charge on it, but what I see it do is end any form of discussion and debate with the purposeful diminishment of thought the word conspiracy itself causes.  Cease and desist all critical thinking and get in line for the formulaic answer we have all been fed.  All from a simple word being given so much power, that even intelligent people stop using critical thinking.  We all lose out, from the lack of participation of everyone's minds thinking about all possibilities.

That said, whatever the origin, the reality is that we are witnessing plenty of strange cloud formations, many new official names for them, and increased weather extremes.

While continuing on the electromagnetic field shifting and tearing, that seems to be a result at least in part of the core shifting.  I was given this very clearly and then predicted the Haiti and Chilean earthquakes, I also predicted that there would be a major event on March 11, and we had the Japanese Tsunami following that earthquake.

All of these were posted on my facebook page before they happened and in many writings.

The reason I bring this up, is I felt the core shifting inside of the earth; this causes the tearing of the plates, the upward momentum it is not the plates moving that causes the shifting.  If the earth’s core is shifting, it is shifting within us too, that is to say, our own cores are shifting inside of us, so what do we anchor into then?  The electromagnetic field shifts along with this, more tearing.

With everything in what seems to be a race going faster and faster around us, what do we do?  First, we stop racing with the perception of what success means, it isn’t stuff, it will take us all down, and Virgo does not mean more stuff, it means using less to make more.

Anything in excess….ANYTHING will have consequences.

Our ‘stuff’ will be swept down the river that is flowing faster and faster, think of Sandy and count your blessings if you weren’t one of the people living in that storm.

But what if you were?  What is the foundation you are building your life upon?

7:24 Therefore whosoever heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them, I will liken him unto a wise man, which built his house upon a rock:
7:25 And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell not: for it was founded upon a rock.
7:26 And every one that heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them not, shall be likened unto a foolish man, which built his house upon the sand:
7:27 And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell: and great was the fall of it.
7:28 And it came to pass, when Jesus had ended these sayings, the people were astonished at his doctrine:
7:29 For he taught them as one having authority, and not as the scribes.

Now what would a rock be?  It is where we put our thoughts, for there will our heart be also.  This brings me to the numerology:

We have the II, which is the High Priestess and always will be from now on as previous posts have described, you can read more on this here: http://arcoftheancients.blogspot.com/search?updated-min=2011-01-01T00:00:00-08:00&updated-max=2012-01-01T00:00:00-08:00&max-results=1

We also have the number 20:

Judgment, we will also have this until we reach 2100 years, so think about this:  We must remind ourselves that we are living in the times of judgment, all our karma dues are up in our faces, and we will not get out of paying this debt.  If you have already, good for you.

It stands to reason and falls in line with astrology too, this is karmic debt we have all created together, especially since the conjunction in the mid ‘60’s of Uranus and Pluto.

If we extrapolate that onto the bigger picture, we see what happened with Agri-business and now have chem. Giant Monsanto the biggest player in the food industry and we are all paying the price for allowing this agent of death, Agent Orange to be precise as the harbinger of what we decided collectively was good for us.  We wanted more for less, without the consideration of the ecological consequences.

We are letting this go even further with the now ‘fracking’ industry, where we are literally drilling out the foundation underneath our feet, and the result is spilling chemicals into the water tables, which we cannot remove.

Wait until the opposition, if we don’t listen to the square!  That is our children and grandchildren who will really bare the pain of that selfishness and ignorance.

Ah, but technology (Uranus) will promise us new ways of cleaning this, eh?

Uranus is not a cleaner, but by sudden lightening-like episodes out of the blue.  In catastrophic earth changes.

The way we need to work with Uranus, is new technology that is the alternative to ecological devastation now.

That holds true for our bodies.  The idea of living recklessly however we want, and then letting ‘technology’ clean up by cutting out the mess later, is not rational thinking.

It is madness.
Judgement is mine sayeth the Lord, so get off of your cross and take whatever little baby step you can, making practical (Virgo) application of manifesting your light.  Whatever way seems like a uniquely you gift to the world, without taking from it or using more excess, take that step.

We also have the infamous number 13:

Yes, this always looks so ominous and sometimes this is exactly what it portends.  It also can simply mean endings of the things which really needed to end naturally anyway.

So let us start with some history on the lucky number 13.

First, 12 apostles plus one Christ is 13.

It is the 13th sperm that is said to break the egg to impregnate and start NEW LIFE.

It was On October 13, 1307, a day so infamous that Friday the 13th would become a synonym for ill fortune, officers of King Philip IV of France carried out mass arrests in a well-coordinated dawn raid that left several thousand Templars — knights, sergeants, priests, and serving brethren — in chains, charged with heresy, blasphemy, various obscenities, and homosexual practices. None of these charges was ever proven, even in France — and the Order was found innocent elsewhere — but in the seven years following the arrests, hundreds of Templars suffered excruciating tortures intended to force "confessions," and more than a hundred died under torture or were executed by burning at the stake.

That was taken from: http://urbanlegends.about.com/cs/historical/a/friday_the_13th_4.htm simply to make my life and writing easier right now, while sharing a point.

We also associate the number 13 with Ophiuchus as mentioned previously.  We must learn to be the serpent handler, the eagle that holds the snake rather than the reverse.  TAke the higher road.  Be an eagle and see the bigger picture.

I must say, I do feel we will see a number of strange illnesses, even perhaps…and I don’t like to share this foreboding thought, but plagues may well be upon us this year.

Between the radiation from Fukushima continuously spreading its doses over the planet (and largely all but vanished from mainstream news as if it is all hunky dory and thus our minds) we are having toxic dumps on us all.
 
This is being absorped into our earth, food and animals too. 

Let’s take a look back astrologically to see where we were: In the United States, where Fermi and Szilárd had both emigrated, this led to the creation of the first man-made reactor, known as Chicago Pile-1, which achieved criticality on December 2, 1942. This work became part of the Manhattan Project, which made enriched uranium and built large reactors to breed plutonium for use in the first nuclear weapons, which were used on the cities of Hiroshima and Nagasaki.  ~taken from Wikipedia.

We had a conjunction of Saturn conjunct Uranus at 29* of Taurus (the earth/Goddess) back in April of 1942, where we thought we could ‘harness’ Saturn, ‘new technology’ Uranus.  We split the Atom, and as I write in my book, we have been ‘splitting Adam’ ever since.

Newer Cold Fusion technology such as this: http://jinnwe.com/quest.php?id=512

Is exactly the order of what we need.  We don’t need to split anything else apart, we need to come together.

We need this in our country, the USA.  No more of this divisiveness when what is so urgently needed is to calm the disparity, no more divide and conquer.  Don't be fooled into thinking you need the blue OR the red pill, don't take ANY pill, and if you do, make it purple!

As hard as the task may be, we need to find common ground not more of the Great Divide.

The future after all, is the one we create together.

Pluto will keep transforming (be the death of) a lot of archaic and worn out structures that just don’t work anymore.  It will continue as it did in the

Great Depression under the square to Uranus, to devastate the economy until we find newer ways of making a living with the earth, advancing our souls to the beat they are asking us to march in time to and evolving!

That last square was in 1934, when Uranus was at 23* of Aries (Aries again) and Pluto was at 23* of Cancer, the mother.

We had the Great Depression, and we are seeing that repeat itself to a certain extent, how bad will it get?  I will say it isn’t over…not until the last square on March 16, 2015, when Uranus has travelled to 15* of Aries and Pluto is at 15* of Capricorn.
 
These are the most vulnerable signs and degrees as well as what lies between starting with the first square and all the Cardinal signs by degree related, including Libra and Cancer.  You are being transformed and there is no way around this.

This is not out of the blue, it has been a steady process since the conjunction back in 1965 for all Cardinal signs, sometimes in an easier supporting role, and others more difficult.

We should see an upturn in the economy as we go along even from this time forward, with some more pitfalls along the way too.
In 2015, we will rise like the Phoenix, and keep rising.
 
Now lets add to get the final number: 6, The Lovers and representative of VIRGO again!

So, we see the theme?  Virgo…..which is also the 9 card or the Hermit.

We must go inside and find our own light, our lantern to light the way into the dark times and nights ahead.  The Lovers, wants can delude us into ‘A Perfect Love’ and thereby we never find REAL love, because it is messy, not perfect at all.

I have often written about this, alchemical love, but it needs repeating now, and hopefully the words will find a way of falling onto this page succinctly enough to take root and build a tree of the knowledge of love within all of us.

Love is not some trivialized or trite saying found on a postcard; making short quick sayings that are entirely lacking of the fierceness and richness of bold deep love.  Love is not all beautiful....it is tangled up and dark.  Oh sure, in the beginning it can trigger every dopamine transmitter we have and send us into ecstasy with just a thought, a fragrance a voice.  (Some people grow addicted to this lesser version of love, and never get to tread the deeper waters of the mystery, remaining standing at the gates).
Anyone that has been in any sort of love relationship...has experienced many facets, like a shiny diamond that seduces inside we go willingly falling after the spark and into the dark cave of desire and we burn in the flames of reality and the passions of sexuality that can float on the current of waves of life like a life raft at times, but we must let go and into that fire that transforms us, removing all the walls of protection and safety. That is what love does....it makes us more than we knew we were....we grab that fire and we see...we see for the first time a shiny jewel inside us....and we bring that out and we light up the world with it.
Anything less than this is simply not love...it is superficial as nice as it may feel and even though it can trigger those friendly little dopamine doses into our system. 
When you bring that flame out....you have something...if the relationship survives....it gets deeper and richer....cuts and bruises and tears and spit and all.
If it doesn't....then two people are not invested....and that is just shallow displays of the outside of a flame....there has been no alchemy....no distilling of the spiritual essence from one another.  Life will provide plenty of fuel to create the challenges, the sparks.  How we manage with each other, whether we have let go (Love really does not have any pride, especially false pride) or we cling to some sense of safety and never really get to take the big dive, is up to us.

But that is love.

Too bad so much of our ‘entrainment/entertainment’ is making up some fairy tale in our minds, teaching puerile versions and even stimulating preteens into believing they must be sexy, and that is love.  Instead of putting a stop to this, parents want to be friends with their children, and they don’t see the harm and the theft of childhood that is taking place in all the over the top video’s children listen to now.

Ahhh but now I digress.

Let us introduce some further information before I wrap this up in positive form and ideas:

This is the year of the Water Snake in Chinese astrology. -- which begins on February 10, 2013!  With the new moon in Aquarius.

The year of the Black Water Snake taps back into the energy of Virgo again, using wisdom in our decision making process and accessing the Virgo beginnings back in 1965, as well as the recent opposition from Saturn in Virgo (which started this recent time frame energy) to Uranus in Pisces , we want decisions based on thrift and wisdom, rather than excesses with fair labor (working towards getting our needs met and for wages, rather than a handout) shall see solutions and success to anyone who is applying this formula.  It is powerful for anyone doing intellectual work, writing and will be very strong indicators for advancements in new car technology, expect to see some pretty mind blowing new cars introduced (finally) that will have some real advancements as well as the movement into new infrastructures to support these newer versions. Let’s look at the snake:  The Milky Way is the Great Serpent in the sky, or the Great Mother, the Goddess Nut with Many Teets. (milk)

Aesclepius

The serpent is the symbol of Asculapius (Aesculapius) because it represented rejuvenation (renewal) as demonstrated by the periodic shedding of its skin. Many believed that snakes lived forever and that they helped discover health-giving medicinal herbs.

According to one legend, a snake brought such herbs to Asculapius (Aesculapius) and to show his gratitude, he took on the shape of a serpent, too.

We see him holding the wooden staff which was also designated as his symbol, for reaons too numerous to mention, but you do have a staff in your own spine.


Native American myths associate the shedding of a snake's skin with rebirth and renewal of all life.  Here we see both the repetition of health as a guiding theme and the shedding of the skin, or the death of what no longer serves us.                             

We must learn the lessons of Ophuchius (the 13th sign) the serpent handler or Aaron with his staff that turned into the snake and become like an eagle to hold the snake, to handle the snake.

This is the domain of Pluto, who rules Scorpio.

Will medicine rule over us or will we learn to master medicine?

As we heal the layers within us, we will see clearer and clearer that which has been occulted on the world stage, many things that have been going on since the beginning, as the dance played back and forth.  Good men and women of the past, have seen clearly and fought the good fight to bring us to awareness, most often called ‘crazy’ for doing so, so few can see it seems lunacy. 
We also have cognative dissonance, it is much easier to shut down the truth that is more unbearable, than to have to go out on a limb and stand against the powers that are there to present the limit, the resistance.  After all, the measurement of resistance is Ohm’s Law, which I have always found ironic, OMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM!

Resist! 

Don’t go over the cliff with the flow!

Fiscal or otherwise!

As we heal and shed those layers, we can leave the past that no longer serves us, other than the strength and wisdom (wise serpent) losing fears that may keep us from becoming authentic and exposing the beauty of who we are.  So Plutonian Virgo, Ophiuchus as the Phoenix is born out of the ashes of the past.

This is the year, ruled by the snake, the number 13 and being Pluto’s year to use the power of this to heal and emerge~Fearless.

Saturn at 9* Scorpio is supporting the Sun at 10* Capricorn, so the more we can structure ourselves, the more support we will get.  Don’t forget, Saturn rules the day of rest!

Get plenty of it as mentioned before!

Our psyche’s will be tested, but the more we build into the mutual reception of Saturn in
Scorpio and the sextiles and believe the whispers that urge us into a deeper us...the more we will have an easier time of things.

Mercury and Venus are both forming a trine (supporting) the Moon, so we must tap into the communication of feelings and once again, find the greatest of these, which is LOVE.

The heart will always be the WAY, but these astrological configurations are really peeling us open to have nothing left, less we find them on our own journey and take control with that one foundation.

We won’t be seeing the stagnation break up until Jupiter goes direct at the end of the month, so hang in there, and PLAN now, don’t try to move the mountain, it is not going to move.


Saturn is also still in a nice trine supporting Chiron, and Chiron is the key to Uranus, who wants to wake us up.  Healing will be the order of the day.

What visits as a sickness is what we chose to come and heal.

Each step is stepping into the light even if it is only the beginning of a new 26,000-year cycle, we are setting up the new us, our new beginnings.  The holes that Pluto square to Uranus will rip into our atmospheric beings and deep emotional reservoir’s; but they are weak spots to open and allow the light of the new energy into the deepest recesses of our psyche’s.  This doesn’t come easy.  In Japan, there is a saying called: “wabi-sabi” which in its general essence is the Japanese art of finding beauty in imperfection, in the scars we bear in life that open us up to a larger version of our self; in nature, of believing in the seasons and the natural course of life, decay, and death.

From Wikipedia we find this definition:

"Wabi-sabi is the most conspicuous and characteristic feature of traditional Japanese beauty and it occupies roughly the same position in the Japanese pantheon of aesthetic values as do the Greek ideals of beauty and perfection in the West."[1] "if an object or expression can bring about, within us, a sense of serene melancholy and a spiritual longing, then that object could be said to be wabi-sabi."[2] "[Wabi-sabi] nurtures all that is authentic by acknowledging three simple realities: nothing lasts, nothing is finished, and nothing is perfect."[3]

I can’t think of a better way to end this, the Japanese concept being the perfect ending all by itself.

Except this:

“And, behold, the veil of the temple was rent in twain from the top to the bottom; and the earth did quake, and the rocks rent; and the graves were opened; and many bodies of the saints which slept arose” ~Mathew 27:51 and 52. Now look at the Judgment Card again.

The only other thing, is this: Make sure you have plenty of Breathing Easy and Sleep on hand!
