Goodbye Blue Monday

Can’t remember what you have forgotten?

Mercury rx is retracing back over territory already crossed, so it may create the vivid deja vu experiences ‘writer’s block’, ‘air head’, ‘sleepy head’. Cognitive functions improve quickly as the retrograde continues and fades into familiarity -  Mercury is very flexible

Miscommunications, vagueness in details and possible deceit

Your package may arrive late - but maybe you misread the delivery date

Mercury is a sign that arrives in pairs - so double check your double checking

Don’t worry too much (if your brain has the energy) we have a habit of turning these into self-fulfilling prophecies. 

Opportunity for deep and meaningful conversations discussing dreams, immortality, spirituality, and visions

Cancer is the gateway to the earth kingdom so we pass through the waters of the Moon Goddess to birth spirit into form. Cancer is the dream that was had of your existence before you were here, like when your star was getting picked from the sky  

Scorpio is the masked assassin and the truth seeker, this is your second death. The theologians do this literally as a baptism. But it wasn’t like this. You know the experience I’m referring to. When you were lured to something greater, when the unconscious water took control of you and showed you something beyond this, the crackle and the madness that bought you here, to the deeper studies of soul and existence 

Mars in Aries: Sex is a current of inner energy directing naturally toward the other person, the crescendo is losing control and surrendering to physical instinct and fulfilment

Mars in Taurus: Sex is nourishing, aesthetic, quintessentially and instinctually feminine, hunger to and be devoured, essential for inner wellbeing

Mars in Gemini: The right words can be arousing as touch, melting into the sound of your pleasure and desires, a rapid firing of nervous energy in sensory electricity, may be voyeuristic

Mars in Cancer: Sex is a heated eruption of emotions, euphoria, old wounds still bleeding within, the werewolf is unleashed, the night goes forever, tears may follow

Mars in Leo: Sex is raw, firm and tender, role play is not an act but natural expression, a grand orgasmic show, pride in good performance

Mars in Virgo: Sex is intellectual and delicate, but also a current of nervous energy that fires through the hands and senses like electricity, more invested in satisfying the partner, ideally part of daily routine

Mars in Libra: Can be naturally submissive, or exclusively sexually dominant like assertion,rage,fire is reserved for the sexual partner, a conquest of capturing the heart and beguiling it

Mars in Scorpio: Sex is a shared transmission each partner's inner angels and dark forces, unspoken innuendo simmers until both surrender to instinct, more sexually responsive to energetic forces rather than physical appearance

Mars in Sagittarius: Sex is an act of carnal instinct, untamed and dangerous -especially when approached from curiosity, but the presence of the mind retains the human touch, experimental and rarely resists temptation

Mars in Capricorn: Sex is a declaration of unexpressed feelings and affection, providing pleasure as a metaphor of everything they do for you, covertly trying to impress

Mars in Aquarius: Sex is very abstract, possibly surreal and too close for comfort, curiosity and experimentation, sexual desire turns burning hot to cold instantly

Mars in Pisces: Sex is the exploration of other dimensions within themselves and others, rather more abstract and fantasy-based than physical, can be healing or the transmission of poisonous psychic energy for either partner

The cosmic ceremony of Saturn in Capricorn, Pluto in Capricorn, Uranus in Taurus and Neptune in Pisces is the time of the great fall from grace. The betrayers of trust, authority, and privilege (Capricorn) delusional in their entitlement (Neptune) are served a life sentence (Pluto) for the greater good of humanity and its future (Uranus). We have been practicing and preparing for this cosmic grid for quite some time beneath the challenge of Pluto squaring Uranus 2012-2015, Pluto in Capricorn forming mutual reception with Saturn in Scorpio 2012-2015, current Jupiter transit in Scorpio and Neptune in Pisces. Rather than the dense arrival of widespread misfortune and loss, this remarkable planetary collaboration is more about anticipating the arrival and clearing the entrance of a new cycle and collective agreement. 

Louis Acker ascribes the combination of Saturn and Pluto to the ‘worst abuses of power and corruption’. The Hollywood abuse scandal we saw in October grew into the onslaught as Jupiter entered Scorpio. No secret could fit inside its hidden box any longer, unleashing a cosmic sonic boom that dismantled the patriarchal hostage of power, hierarchy, entitlement, and those who protected it (Capricorn). Pluto is the planet that responds to violation, abuses of power, and secrecy. This is only an increment of what we can expect to see as these cosmic patterns start to make real waves together. Everything will come out in this cosmic nuclear waste wash. 

Uranus in Taurus trine Saturn in Capricorn  Saturn in Capricorn sextile Neptune in Pisces 

“as the aristocracy develops, government tends more and more to act exclusively in the interests of the ruling class – whether that class be hereditary royalty, oligarchs of financial empires, or entrenched bureaucracy.” ― Frank Herbert, Children of Dune

In May 2018 Uranus will cross into the sign of Taurus until 2026 and continue making visits into Aries until March 2019. Venus becomes Mars as Taurus is exchanged for Aries. Taurus has a much slower pace and response time than Aries. For the better, it can regulate the volatile pace of this change. For the worse, internal inertia collides with the speed of light and the rate of change is not happening quick enough. There is no chance to settle in with Uranus in Taurus, because a month later in June 2018 Saturn in Capricorn makes a 3 part appearance by form of trine until November 2018. Although Saturn and Uranus never quite make direct contact,  these opposing past and future forces lap the edges of one another, gaining enough inspiration and agitation that beckons to come together to fight and fly. 

There may be a reduction in the forms of political violence, antagonism, and ruling by oppressing with fear. This is characteristic of the declaration of personal ideology, shouting, the infantile performance that triumph over truth, evidence, and accountability we have seen during the political years of Uranus in Aries. Uranus provokes abrupt cataclysms that reset the status quo. Taurus is a sign of finances, the opulent, and the wealthy.  Life may start getting very uncomfortable for residents in the bubble of affluence, the rich and privileged that salivate from the power and influence that money commands, financial institutions taking bets on their customer’s assets while promising to safeguard them, executives who sold their soul for a salary, the balcony from the top that would rather the poor, disadvantaged, and the homeless be removed from their view from the window.

Taurus is how we measure value. Uranus can restructure our definition of wealth. It may be to reflect the qualities of this energy like our brilliant thinkers and geniuses, our scientists and activists, our eccentrics and our artists, and the richness of our friendships and relationships. The significance of Uranus in Taurus is that last time Uranus shook up Taurus was during the great depression. But with intensely active Capricorn and Saturn energy captivating the world, the focus of this re-structure is more on establishment, banks, and governments. Governments will be under pressure increase the distribution of resources (Taurus) back into the people (Uranus). The leaders elected during this period may have grand and progressive vision and crusade strongly for equality, globalisation, science, and education. Taurus likes to implement prepared and considerate change that is timely in development but endures for the longterm. Uranus wants it now, but Taurus is slow to move. Chaos and instability arises on all fronts of personal and business security and longevity. Stability is acquired through the inner experience, seasonal and earthy intimacy, and independently creating capital from natural talent and aptitudes 

Uranus is the stimulant of the revelation and change demanded by Saturn in Capricorn and Pluto in Capricorn. For example dynamics influenced by Pluto’s entry into Capricorn during 2008 and the subsequent financial collapse. Your neighbours lost their home, your friend lost his business, your parents were forced to delay their retirement… but the elite maintained their wealth… and even better, they managed to increase and expand their reign. Chaos ensued, but nothing has really changed. This is until Uranus in Taurus mixes everything in the cosmic blender and turns the world upside down to so that loose change is shaken from their pockets and resources free fall and fly to and from every direction. 

For many years a lot of predictive astrology speaks about the coming utopia and endless love and awakening and elevating dimensions and chakra 3rd wheel something. Saturn is also making a long lasting sextile for most of 2019 with Neptune in Pisces and it really stimulates our longing for an ideal. I am not going to go there even with such a powerful cosmic performance because we were made grand promises at the end of the mayan calendar and the square before and eclipse previous and so on. Pisces is a dual sign so we wouldn’t even be able to come to an agreement of what the vision is. The great climax of Capricorn has been historically associated with our entrance into the light or dark age. While powerful transformations will occur with major shifts, these planets move slowly and never rush their influence. Think of like the prosecution taking many years to converge the evidence and make a critical conviction. I (hope) with the cosmic resources available that transiting Uranus moving into Taurus regenerates the collective responsibility (Uranus) to the environment (Taurus), The mother of humanity (Uranus) with the instinct to protect mother earth (Taurus), and this also extends to the feeding, resources, and nourishing aspect of Taurus into global and humanitarian (Uranus) malnutrition and lack of supply. The siding circumstance with this may be increasing technology and manufacturing of GMO’s. The contact of Saturn in Capricorn and Uranus in taurus will draw focus to earth’s mortality (Capricorn) and temper (Uranus), and activate the necessary scientific (Uranus) and financial resources (Taurus) into preservation earth (Taurus) and humanity (Uranus). Uranus has a quick and hot temper that cracks Mother Nature Taurus. There may be unexpected weather patterns that form rapidly aggravating storms, earthquakes and shockwaves, and weather that impacts our agriculture and the way we develop technology for sustainability.  I may be boarding the Neptune in Pisces carnival ride, but Taurus is the ruler of gold, and it has been said and spoken by higher beings and forces that the substance of gold can repair and rebalance the earth and climate.

Saturn conjunct Pluto in Capricorn 2020 The apex of building celestial gesture is no doubt the event of transiting Saturn and transiting Pluto coming together at 22 degrees Capricorn on January 12, 2020 or 12/01/2020. If you have a good memory, that date may seem familiar, because the ending of the Mayan calendar occurred on January 21, 2012 or 21/12/2012. Also, the date that Saturn makes its first crossing into Aquarius is 21/03/2020. I don’t know really what this means, but it gives me the sense that great cosmic collaboration and higher preparation is being directed into this. 12 is of course the the 12 zodiacs tribes and completion of the cycle. 4 is the numerology and vibrates to strength, stability, found in the charts of monks, priests and other religious leaders and reflects the higher qualities of Capricorn. 2 is ruled by the moon in numerology which is the astrological opposer of Saturn, and notably ascribed the quality of ‘duality and polarity’ alongside ‘the lover, provider, the ultimate survivor and resilient force’ . There is a tremendous spiritual potency directed here so don’t forget that the whole universe is right behind you 

Remember that Saturn is the devil in tradition so it can really bring out the fear and fanaticism in those with extremely rigid theologies, like the returning antichrist or satan messiah. No, you will not wake up and see fiery embers across the sky. When I was new to learning this stuff hearing something like that would have really scared me. The significance is that the ‘antichrist’ or ‘devil’ is the symbol that shows its face through the suppressors, corrupt leadership, greed and gluttony, and politics of fear. Second, astrology can’t predict the end of the world. Astrology is very focused on the ‘next transit, the next planetary pattern, the next challenging condition written in the cosmos’ and does not exist without collusion from future and higher selves. The unconscious collective would not be challenged to advance through the sign and integrate the experiences and necessary inner and spiritual material for entering the next developmental phase, such as Pluto entering Aquarius in 2024. 

“There are no nations! There is only humanity. And if we don’t come to understand that right soon, there will be no nations, because there will be no humanity. ”

― Isaac Asimov, I. Asimov

The archetype of Saturn and Capricorn is Chronos, Father Time, Mortality, The Grim Reaper, The Alchemist. The archetype of Pluto is the God of Death and Rebirth, The Crone, Greater Destiny, and Soul. The suggestion is that death will arrive on many doorsteps at the same time, one that cleanses the soul of humanity. One that perishes mass corporate, financial, institutional, social, and egotistical foundations that suppress this soul. Plato described Uranus as an upward ascent and The World of Divine Ideas, so as one that existed on a higher vibration. These suppressive autocrats and ideologues retain our physical body and conscious experience inside of their own, chaining our spirit onto earth while it longs to respond to the call of the frequency it now belongs to. Why do the policies and representatives of government so rarely reflect the plight and authentic desire of their people? Why is power retained in such small hands with such small minds? Media tells us to be angered and outraged by low income earners, welfare recipients, asylum seekers, foreign aid… and not the atrocities committed by their government and rulers. These individuals were elected by fraudulence and dishonest reporting, the maniacal pursuit of having power rather than having any idea how to use it properly, and to maintain their class of elitism. The politics of division, fear and terror, the ignition of dissent between the people that weakens their resolve and shared resources is closed avenue. Uranus in Taurus and Saturn in Capricorn is conditioned to collaborate and unify. The people have been unfairly accountable for the misconduct of leaders and establishment. We’ve seen this in significance after 2008 with increased government debt. The poor, the sick, unemployed, single parents, refugees, students, anyone suffering hardship were demoralised as parasites on the public purse and the root of debt. The very social services and benefits that they relied upon were slowly dried up, underfunded, and under resourced. It’s almost as if it were these organisations that disregarded federal laws and regulation that cost hundreds of thousands of people their employment. Now they will realise the power that is inherent to their people, the people are the source of power that is is leased, a power that is only supplied by those who can also deny, a power that is not theirs to engorge on but to nurture, protect, and re-distribute. Saturn is not only resistance and business. Saturn also symbolises the spiritual path, the practically enlightened, our ultimate capability… and Saturn is the last planet that will sell you short or deny you or the world its positive prospects. 

In 2008 Pluto plunged us into the thick of Capricorn. We became intimate with confronting and satisfying its brutality, beauty, command, excess, and unrelenting desires. There is no need to fear the world ending, because you have already died beholding Capricorn and confronting Pluto, and you have always returned with more life and will than you left with. Saturn contacts Pluto as it finalises its passage through Capricorn, and the significance is the resources and wisdom acquired when the master was home and available for personal mentoring. You are not permitted to pass the gates of Saturn without demonstrating your expertise and efficiency, you’ve spent years practicing and mastering this… so why so worried?

Pluto in Scorpio Generation - The Transit of Self Injury 

I saw a report earlier about rising rates of self harm amongst young adults. While self injury predates the Pluto in Scorpio generation, at this cohort’s transition into adulthood the taboo concept of self harm has been ripped from the underground and thrust into exposure. Pluto is at home in Scorpio and relates to a generation of people born from around 1984-1995; the toxic macabre frequency of the God of the Underground sends accelerated energies through the occult and intense Scorpio, and associates with themes of desolation, transformation and destruction. The Pluto in Scorpio generation came of age during world themes of economic collapse, war, terrorism, crisis, degeneration and intense societal change; and carry the intrinsic urgency to expel all that is taboo into the open. Astrologically labelled as the ‘gloomy generation’; it has been during Pluto in Scorpio’s adolescence and emergence into adulthood that the once enigmatic and unmentionable subject of self harm has become recognised and more widely used in consensual society.

The sign of Scorpio relates to internal desolation and an intensity of emotion; and those born during its transit through Pluto carry a terminal loneliness and cynical and paranoid view of society. While other generations were forced through an economic or employment depression, the depression Pluto in Scorpio battle with is their own. Bouts of melancholy and an obsession with darkness, death and the afterlife characterise this generation - where throughout high school they were donned in chains, listened to death metal and followed the emotional hardcore ideology. During this time, 'cutting’ clubs, pro SI, music and culture relating to self injury emerged; and for the first time books were written, researches conducted and the mainstream media reported on the overwhelming increase in self harmers and the warning signs of an issue once concealed from public conversation. Scorpio’s role is to revolutionize, and these individuals tend to feel at odds with the world around them; compelled to exercise any destructive means possible to overturn the existing and release the tension within. The world is yet to catch up to Pluto in Scorpio’s vibrations; where the superficiality of mainstream religion remains unfulfilling, the corporate imperialism sickens them and the subterfuge of others has restricted the deeper communion they crave. When the darkness becomes consuming, some born under this generation turn the inflammation inward - and rely on self injury as a coping mechanism; utterly overwhelmed with directing such fierce and destructive energies. Although as a generation, Scorpio here have been pivotal in exposing the conduct of self harm, an innately secretive nature means most will remain private about their actions and endeavour to keep it hidden from the people around them.

Moon in Cancer - Stay Wild, Moon Child 

“The moon is friend for the lonesome to talk to.”  -  Carl Sandburg

The moon lavishes when she bathes in Cancer waters and ancient lunar ceremonies become expressed through the individual’s daily expression. The moon rules Cancer and activates pure matriarchal consciousness, the moon falls from the sky to soak in the water. This is the water that symbolises emotion, spirit, the unconscious, and feminine power. She accesses this through her everyday experience and the sensitivity that generates consuming emotional tides. The nature is receptive and subjective with the Moon in Cancer. The werewolf howls on full moon nights and regresses to a cub when the moon is new. She is typically responsive to the needs of others and especially defensive when loved ones are threatened. She may rely on the consistency of relationships in her life to provide internal balance. The moon in this condition typically generates incredible resilience and strength of character.

The moon is the astrological emotional centre. There is a particular resonance to the lunar cycles with the Moon in Cancer. The moods are reflective of the shifting luminary above, emptying out and filling back in again. It’s possible for the individual to feel everything and nothing, to drown under the ocean of emotion or experience complete vacancy. It can be very difficult for the individual to predict how she will respond to future events or feel in a few minutes time. She can express with gentle patience and significant empathy toward others. But she can become overwrought and raw with her emotional displays, at times taking out her frustrations on those she loves most. Open wounds from the past bleed easily and constantly threaten to resurface. There can be a retentive visual memory with the Moon in Cancer. It can be both a gift and a curse. She can shut her eyes and relive her fondest memories. But it also seems impossible to evaporate the memories that haunt her. Fears about physical and emotional safety, abandonment, and family members can constantly creep up into the psyche and take her hostage. The individual can be dependant on other people to regulate and safeguard her. But she can also be dependant on dependants, relying on having people that need her and want her to take care of them. 

The mother is awakened with the Moon in Cancer. Maternal qualities are typically evident through the individual’s empathy, ability to create, nurture, protect, and raise. She wields the feminine power and consciousness of the Mother Goddess. She exhibits transcendent concern and nourishment to the divine children she welcomes into her life. She can ease people’s spirit home sickness. The idealism can be rich with the Moon in Cancer and the inner world of imagination can become a routine escape portal. Defences are enacted immediately in social situations, she can feel very vulnerable inside and afraid of being used or hurt. It may be easier for the individual to express her emotions around and  feel supported by women. The outside world and seem dark, stormy, and dangerous with the Moon in Cancer. She creates a refuge inside, cushioned with her romantic fantasies and memories, sheltered by the shadowing waning moon.

Scorpio - Apple Fatale 

Scorpio is the sign of death and endings. In light of this quality, it is also a sign of life, rebirth, the second birth, the second coming. The soul light can only be seen in the darkest of nights, alone and abandoned. Scorpio knows that if one is to truly ascend then one must deeply descend.   At its core, transformation and regeneration is creation. Scorpio is The Intelligent Host of Creative Force active in every live mineral. The sign rules over the reproductive organs and guards over the practice of The Maithuna that awaken the ingenious and magical Kundalini serpent within. In this respect, Scorpio protects the sacredness of sex. This commonly manifests through involvement in sexual justice, law and criminal proceedings, and battles for liberation. Scorpios shield against violation and abuses of this kind, the venom injected by their sting is capable of fatally wounding the depraved beings who do, or intend to defile the purity of this intimate practice.  Scorpio dwells in this etheric realm of the fiery divine sexual force. This is the same force residing in the angelic cherubins enclosing Eden. Scorpio is the battleground between white magick and black magick. The good and evil inside Scorpio go into war, one is promising everything and one is promising nothing, and like a sleight of hand both can trade places. Scorpio is watery intuitive and Pluto psychic, everything within these people operates at hidden and subliminal levels. During childhood, the goodness of the world revealed itself in light of the bad. Adults tore off the masks of angels to reveal monsters, survival instinct was shaped, primed and prepared for the oncoming brutality. It conditioned a consequence for every action, it made every footstep they would take strategic and strikingly calculative, and no risk posed a greater threat than doing nothing at all. To loved ones this may have appeared as being lost or confused, but the Scorpio never wanted to be found. There was always a sense of direction - even if the compass spun from an unknown ocean. It glides and crosses up and around the spine like a psychic serpent, the air can feel thick crackling against their fingertips. Scorpio is the dark angel, the serpent who seduced Eve to taste the apple and thus “your eyes will be open and you will be like God, knowing good and evil“. The apple is forever outstretched in the right eye of Scorpio, the apple of ego loss through orgasm, reflecting and re-radiating the universal auric sparkle. The preceding sign is Libra on the descendant, so every shadow has been exposed upon entering Scorpio. The serpent has been relegated to a base and decrepit symbol of all that is pain and evil in modern theology. We can observe a similar designation applied to the astrological sign of Scorpio that is frequently slandered, denigrated, and associated with the activation of these lower and inaccurately retold serpentine traits, “(you will) become like God, knowing” the serpent told, beholding the wisdom within the Tree of Knowledge in its ascended state, and “knowing good and evil” is the awareness of the duality inherent to divine consciousness. Scorpio is on the borderland between consciousness like the serpent recoiled around the centre of the Tree of Knowledge, the position said to be the border of the Human Soul in between spirit and matter. “The inferno is the womb of Heaven. Beauty is born from rottenness. Lucifer grants us Light when we defeat him.” - Samuel Aun Weor
