    ONE DREAM
    March 4, 2021
    https://angstoic.com/2021/03/one-dream/



    "History is just old journalism, and we know that journalism is a bunch of selective information posted to us by those who manage to control everything.

    If our entire history (including your own, personal past) is constructed from ‘facts’ presented to you by the ‘authorities’ in your world, then who’s to say whether the ‘story’ you’re piecing together about who you are and where you come from has, indeed, any basis in truth?

    ‘Facts’ – as we are finding more and more now (every day) – are pretty unreliable, at best. They are incomplete and inconclusive and not worth a jot or a tittle if they are beyond question and scrutiny. The sinister plot to fabricate history and our daily news is an attempt to eradicate myth and divine storytelling. It is an attempt to remove all mysticism and spirituality and this process is disconnecting us from our soul-connectedness, sterilising all humanity with the swab of manipulated logic and half-baked statistics. We cannot live like this. Deep down, we ‘know’ there is much more to life than what is being reported to us by selective outlets as ‘science’. We ‘know’ that we are wholly dissatisfied by what we hear. We ‘know’, intuitively, that there is much more to be known. We ‘know’ that there is much to our story, and we must demand to hear more, know the truth.

    We are divine beings, still trapped in a confined, limited, linear landscape. From this, we seek release, freedom, the ability to make choices, to dream, to recreate ourselves and we can only do this by reconnecting to our atavistic roots. We owe it not just to our ancestors who became enslaved by the polluted lies and clever cover-ups of the ruling elite, but to the limitless hopes and prosperity of our divine children, whose only desire is to know their true origins.

    We are a divine species. We are born from pure light.

    The world of metaphors and symbolism offers us divine insight, and based only on these, we can construct a more reliable, more beautifully cohesive story – a dream in which all of the people on this planet can share. Our earth – this planet – this heavenly paradise among the stars, has always held a beautiful, co-creative dream for all its creatures. One without separation. This is the only dream, seen thus far only by the mystics and the dreamers that have come to pass and all you brazen storytellers – you fearless artists out there – those seeking to ‘know’ and work with the holy spirit of truth itself.



    The Pisces New Moon (Mar 13), conjunct its ruler, Neptune, and an exalted Venus sits precisely at the midpoint of the current Saturn/Uranus square. It provides us with a powerful opportunity to see through all illusions and to subtly, subliminally integrate the old with the new.

    Our imagination, or ability to dream a new dream, takes on profound originality, offering something unique, distinctive, and original to our vision of an emerging new world. It is through our distinct individuality and uniqueness, our intention to refuse to compromise our will in any way that opens the way to deep mysticism and soul-searching so we can come to a more inclusive understanding of what is and what could be."

    Risa Astrology--Three Spring Festivals & Saving Forces
    3/12/21
    https://freeweekly.com/2021/03/12/th...saving-forces/

    "Each spring, at the three spring full moon festivals (Aries, Taurus, Gemini), three extra-planetary forces stream into the Earth to assist humanity especially during times of crisis (a time we are in now). These Three Forces are the Forces of Restoration (Aries, restoring humanity’s psychological well-being), Enlightenment (Taurus/Wesak, helping humanity to see clearly) and Reconstruction (Gemini, ushering in a new creative activity for a waiting world). These Forces began to stream into humanity after the devastation wrought on humanity during WW2.

    We have much in common now with the WW2 aftermath – fatigue, continual warfare, confusion, death, etc. It is even a larger menace now for the “killing” occurring is the mind of humanity. Then as is now, the battle was/is between the Forces of Light and Forces of Darkness. It is thus most important this year, 2021 (year of choice), to know about these Three Saving Forces.


    We are continuing the phase of the old ways breaking down, making way for the new Aquarian era/Age. Everything is changing under the new sign, planets and Rays. It is a cosmic change of seasons thus calling for new responses. An entirely new vibrational field is being formed on our planet, electrical in nature. We are shifting from the Age of devotion (Pisces) to the Age of Knowledge (Aquarius), from belief to intelligence and intuition, from ignorance, speculation and opinion to the Rain Cloud of Knowable Things. This shift is not easy. Life is not as it was anymore and never will be again.

    At each new age, new directions are given. For the Aquarian Age, these are the New Laws and Principles. They help us navigate this new era of Aquarius, whose foundational language and tool is astrology. So, during this interim time of transition from one Age to the next, two paths are seen. One left, one right, one bright and shiny, twinkling our future, the other dark hiding under a false light. It is humanity’s test of discernment. And so, all around us, each day, humanity chooses.

    ARIES: It’s best to be careful when out and about. You’re experiencing the energies of Pisces, which means one can be a bit confused when in the midst of crowds for any length of time. It’s best to be reflective, solitary, and with only a few people who understand (astrology) and support your many endeavors. Dreams and visions are important now. What are your visions for the future and how/where do you see yourself in the coming years?

    TAURUS: Each day you enter a dream state, a place where your creativity is activated and you help to prepare us for a future world of safety and survival. You attempt to share this with others but so often people become impatient. You stand solitary in your knowledge knowing it’s your responsibility to bring forth the resources (land) needed to create the new world era. Everyone around you has their own gift to bring forth. You recognize them. Then they do too.

    GEMINI: Where are you and what are you doing each day? Who do relate to and what are you reading? What are your future plans and are you following circadian rhythms? What are you hoping for and what do you need? Can you answer these questions? Your answers are like a preliminary resume to join a spiritual group, ashram, community. All answers are correct. We’d like to get to know you more. What meadows are you in these days? What flowers are blooming?

    CANCER: Are you considering a journey soon? Have your thoughts and perceptions changed? Do you find fearful or angry or aggressive thoughts in your mind and do you feel guilty or righteous about them? It seems essential that your home be clean, well lit, ordered and organized. Even if little gets accomplished, do one kind action each day. A greenhouse, a pergola, and car and/or a boat (for you or another) are good items to invest in.

    LEO: A reorientation is taking place in your life creating a state of transformation. You are often so hidden behind multiple veils. All that you have cultivated as talents, gifts and abilities will be called forth in the times to come. Are people, cultures, journeys or geographies calling to you from a distance. Your response will change your life forever. Enter into the deeper mysteries. The temple door has opened.

    VIRGO: Signs in opposition, like Virgo and Pisces, create an interplay of the known and the unknown, ups and downs, here and there, etc. until the two, alarmed by each other, finally accept, integrate, fuse, blend, synthesize and make peace together. All the sign must do this with their opposites. With Sun, Venus and Neptune in Pisces and Mars in Gemini, synthesis can occur. Virgo is the sign of service preparing for the saving quality in Pisces. The two of you are one.

    LIBRA: You may feel exhausted when confronted with the present state of more work than usual. You may also feel a wounding that is difficult to express. There’s a purpose to that wounding. It provides us with the needed compassion for others, which is a healing. It’s challenging to have the courage to clearly articulate your wound without judgment and blame. Wounds become life tools. They balance us and love us.

    SCORPIO: if you surrender completely to your creativity, you will be rewarded with an expansion of gifts you did not know existed. Creativity for you works under the inspiration of aspiration and vision, which then summons the essential beauty which all forms veil. You are to bring forth this revelatory essence of beauty. It is what underlies your life-purposes, which motivates your life’s events, past, present and future. Do you understand this?

    SAGITTARIUS: Know that your well-being is intact no matter how you feel or sense things to be. No matter what you think your financial situation is, there are realistic new resources and avenues available so you can rest easy and not enter into states of unease, unreality or feelings of lack. Nothing needs doing. You are supported by all the energies in the heavens. Turn to others and also offer them this support. Your supply then becomes limitless. Saturn will see to it.

    CAPRICORN: You may be called to express yourself in ways that could upend people’s belief systems. We live in a Ray 4 reality. Ray 4 is the new harmony emerging from chaos and conflict. You always attempt to express new ideas with compassion, clarity, sensitivity and kindness. When finding yourself in difficulty with another, do the following. Visualize a line of light from your heart to their heart, your Soul to their Soul (5-pointed star above our heads). Then the Soul, which is love, takes over. Leaving you free. What’s blooming where you are?

    AQUARIUS: You’ve returned to a place where you again ask the questions, “Why am I here, what is here that supports me, where is my home and where do I go from here?”At times you wonder if there are enough resources to support your visions. You dream of home, land, gardens, chickens, lots of friends, family, the arts and community. Keep visualizing, keep dreaming. Do only what you love. Simultaneously, serve others, supporting their well-being, security, and self-esteem. All that is given is returned one-hundred-fold.

    PISCES: All Pisces, during Pisces turn inwards deep within themselves. This happens naturally with Sun, Venus and Neptune in Pisces. Neptune in Pisces will continue for the next four years, until March 30, 2025 (year of the Precipitation), when Neptune enters Aries. A subtle change and refinement of life will take place till then, allowing for greater wisdom, work and accomplishments that may seem like miracles. They are your visions and tasks this lifetime coming into manifestation. Maintain faith, patience and serenity at all times."

    MOON at 23°04′ PISCES –
    Saturday, March 13, 2021
    https://angstoic.com/2021/03/floatin...march-13-2021/



    "If you are feeling somewhat puzzled and confused about what on earth is going on, then this is not unexpected, nor are you likely to feel alone. You may be sensitive, and you may be incredibly intuitive, and if you are both you may be sensing just how impossible it is to navigate clearly through these turbulent times. All may not be what it seems because it has never been so. It has never been, and there is much that has been hidden from you, but as you become ever more sensitive and more intuitively attuned, you start to question where we are moving towards and why.

    These are not easy times. It’s questionable whether we ever had it easy. But at least these days they could so easily be easy. They could be anything we want them to be, and at least we have choices. Instead, they are confronting and frightening in a whole new way. As each day passes, we come to wonder how it is we’ve coped with the inequity, indifference and sheer ignorance of us humans, the utter cruelty and unkindness that has played out around us, even among our kind. Many questions that not only beg for answers but in many ways leave us shaking our heads in dismay and disbelief at how we did not act upon the obvious solutions.

    With Neptune, now in the final decan of Pisces, humanity is reaching a new crescendo in sensitivity and telepathic empathy. It still remains a great mystery how the switch flicking from ‘victim-to-warrior’ Chiron and ‘me-to-mine’ Uranus will continue to play out. Here on earth, interesting new players are entering the sociopolitical and economic management realms, instantly superseding yesterday’s superheroes and setting forth obscure, somewhat disturbing new revelations about tomorrow.

    Whilst yesterday becomes even more exposed, this unnerving new ‘future’ is one that’s either urgently sought after or dreaded by many. Whatever the ‘solutions’ posed and implemented by humankind, we get the sense that they have the potential to seriously overturn our world, make it immediately unrecognisable and strange – provided we accept them in time. Adjusting to sudden changes can be challenging, even to the most flexible and intelligent of humans.



    There is something subtly solvent in the mysterious nature of a Pisces New Moon. Pisces symbolises the final phase of any entity’s incarnation: the phase of its dissolution or ‘disappearance’ as a distinct entity and its transcendence into spirit. Like all New Moons, the Pisces New Moon actually introduces something new, yet its dissolvent agency actually manifests as a supreme ending of sorts.

    Therefore, it is difficult to say whether this particular New Moon heralds a new beginning or a final ending, begging the question of whether there’s such a thing as a beginning or an end anyway since the great cosmic cycle is perpetual and infinitely eternal. We might say then, that it is only when we reach the end of what we desire to know, that we arrive at a place where we begin to sense it. Here, we enter a new dimension.

    So indeed, in order to evolve to its utter fulfilment, an entity must reach a point of dissolution (Pisces), where it ceases to matter, yet becomes infinitely accessible, meaningful only to the higher self (spirit) before it then reincarnates into a myriad of possibilities.

    This is how dreams work.
    And this is how the quantum field generates its wish fulfilment. Mostly though, this is where we realise that what we once set out to know, was not worth knowing.

    Hence, in the lead-up to this lunation, we may have sensed a hypnotic veil shrouding over all of us, casting an indefinable spell of emotional confusion and mental disarray. Are things clearly there or are they just a dream of what we would like them to be? Things are either divinely ideal or perfectly chaotic; one is simultaneously empathetic and apathetic. We are left in a quandary about what on earth is going on and wondering whether it matters a lot, or not at all.

    RULERSHIP and CONJUNCTION FROM NEPTUNE:
    The ego-disintegrating impact of this Pisces lunation is further diffused in that its mysterious ruler, Neptune is also transiting this sign. The sheer ego-dissolving forces of Neptune have been washing over us like a cavalcade of crashing waves, subtly eroding boundaries and heightening sensitivity to excruciating levels of emotional vulnerability and confusion. Opening us up to experience a multitude of alternative dimensions, we have been particularly prone to daydream, seeking refuge in fantastical visions, nihilism, as well as an equally dangerous susceptibility to new, totalising, utopian ideas. Of course, the cost of getting too ‘lost at sea’ could leave us feeling victimised, misunderstood, deeply disillusioned, divinely dissatisfied, or downright undermined and deceived.

    This has not been terribly grounding or assuring, but necessary since we need to be able to sense one another’s perspective – really feel empathy for where one another is coming from if that is at all possible.

    However, if we have become too emotionally enmeshed into our environment/relationships/ideas and beliefs, this lunation could expose which parts of our identity are wanting to slip away – the part of our ego invested into falsity that now seeks to dissolve. It is possible that you are struggling to understand or accept what this is really all about right now, even as you read this.

    Are some things just making you question, what on earth is this all about??


    Often, our old sense of self-distinction – that part of us by which we have sought to define our character eventually becomes eroded and defrayed to such a point where it eventually gives way. Anything not supported in this present-tense reality comes to an end, slips away so that something truly divine can emerge. The intrinsic spirit seeks expression, and as it does, something miraculous can emerge and begin anew.

    After a long period of unfreedom – any false attachment to a singular interpretive structure – it is necessary for the development of a free spirit. For instance, religious dogma can create such a false sense of unfreedom that we can feel entrapped in it merely by our own erroneous beliefs. As the dogma dies, becomes eroded or washed away by the sea of disillusionment, it perishes along with our limited concept of God. What emerges is a true, indefinable connection to spirit, which is of central importance to Neptune’s process through Pisces.

    Also, this cultural breeding of “scarcity” and the need to scramble, quarrel and compete for the limited resources on this strip-mined planet has created another trap of false unfreedom. We have done some horrible things in order to survive, worst of which is to pimp out our children to these ‘educational facilities’ called schools – which are, as it turns out, merely indoctrination centres for the ’employment market’. The exploitation and abuse of our kind start with a voluntary surrender of our offspring to a system that gives back nothing but a psychology of greater fear and limitation, and if you don’t buy it, the system has ways of shutting you out into some kind of asylum or institution.

    This New Moon is about making an intention to dive deep within and make the dream real in one’s inner being first. Whilst it can feel a little scary and isolating, this is the main priority over the next 12 months – a difficult transitional year (of the next 3-4), where humanity must make some strong agreements upon how it will align its own resonant frequency to the higher vibrational field currently resonating over this planet’s lightwaves, earth, winds and seas. We must learn to come into oneness with this planet’s vibration. Any discord will present to us as major storms.

    Blessings, and may you have an amazing New Moon xx "

    Next Stop: Brave New World THE WEEK AHEAD: March 15-20
    https://angstoic.com/2021/03/next-st...d-march-15-21/




    "By the end of this week, the (now-Neptunified) SUN finally leaves Pisces and reaches the all critical Aries Equinox.

    In the remaining days, the hypersensitised ego has all but fully dissolved, exposing nothing but a refined soul who is ready to be incarnated into its new, 2021 form.

    Are you ready for a full spiritual upgrade?
    What does this mean for you?



    The Sun's position on March 20, 2021, marks the true commencement of the year ahead - perhaps the most transformative year we' beings' are yet to experience on this planet.




    Of course, we're not all turning into nothings - some of us are really turning into somethings. The rapid metamorphosing of the human race poses a significant transformational crisis in what will sooner rather than later be considered as the neo-global citizen, but it's not what you think and who you might imagine it to be or why.

    Tremendous twists and turns at every juncture, as if Kafka spoke to Orwell and they both agreed that Huxley maybe was indeed a little closer to the mark - that it's not so much that folks are forcibly cajoled into coercion by a ‘ruling minority' as such but that they're willing to become pliant - subtly unaware of their own subservience and just how much they're happy and willing to accept it.

    As Huxley said himself: "‘...the lust for power can be just as completely satisfied by hoaxing people into loving their servitude as can be by flogging and kicking them into obedience. In other words, I feel that the nightmare of 'Nineteen Eighty-Four' is destined to modulate into the nightmare of a world having more resemblance to that which I imagined in Brave New World."... which basically suggests that it's easier to keep a population from dissenting against their ruling oligarchs if you gaslight them into a belief that they are in danger of being sick and though there’s nothing wrong that you have the drug (he called it "soma") that was universally deployed to keep the people in ‘loving their servitude’ to the state. Huxley's book was 'Brave New World' and you should read it but I bet you won't because you're more into the FB memes (that's cool).

    Yet, when you wake up in a surreal world - one where all your habit patterns; all your plans; your dreams; the whole damned way in which you had configured your life begins not to just to fall to pieces almost overnight, but when you find yourself against a force that does not lend itself to the way you had previously ever designed your world to be, then is the only recourse not to get a little wild?

    Naturally, you may be just a little tempted to rail desperately against all of this, with all of your faculties and all of your devices; with whatever you got, but of course, as Snowden, Assange, Navalny and Kashogi might have told us long ago(and you know it), you don’t stand a ****ing chance.

    The only real chance, and I hinted at this in our latest bus video, is to tune in by tuning out (or is it tuning out by tuning in... I forget).

    In any case, I will be back again real soon, just to remind you until somebody cancels me (probably you)..."

    The Dying of the Old Patriarch: THE WEEK AHEAD
    April 5-11
    https://angstoic.com/2021/04/the-dyi...ree+Newsletter



    "The Moon completes her final quarter through Capricorn, Aquarius and Pisces this week before finally heading into Aries-land for the weekend. This is the sector of skies where all the planetary activity lies, so with Mercury, Chiron and Venus flanking the Aries Sun, let’s be prepared for an interesting week in the lead-up to next Monday’s New Moon.

    As we are observing at this tense, last-quarter phase, the headstrong and self-willed Aries has had nearly enough of Capricorn’s ‘doing the right thing’ hypocrisies, which is a concern for all those who resonate with the stern, Cardinal Earth sign. Seems like things are about to swing, if not swiftly and decisively, then possibly violently. Planets in Aries stand for nothing but themselves and will ram anyone who crosses them, again and again until they get their way, taking no prisoners. Aided by the progressive, reforming energies of Jupiter/Saturn in Aquarius, this spearheads us into yet another level of awareness that humankind’s divergence into two distinct levels of consciousness is finally here. It is evident with every encounter that we are either in one camp or another, and the difference between the two is nearly palpable.

    Of course, whichever team you think you’re in, it’s always the right one – it’s the others who are in the wrong. This is why we cannot have world peace right now, because according to someone – anyone you ask, it’s always others who aren’t lifting their game.

    Here’s a list of the key transits this week…




    Venus, now moving toward the evening skies makes some pleasant contacts with both Mars and Jupiter, and in a very selfish, careless way inspires us to go ahead and do things that make us feel good, without considering the ramifications of our actions. Mars is in square to Neptune, creating a considerable degree of fuzziness in the way we’re asserting our big egos out there. You may find that many of your impulses originate from the unconscious mind, and so it can be difficult to perceive them correctly or to understand their nature. Caution is necessary before charging into anything, especially when driving (Mars is in Gemini) or getting into situations where you feel impelled to act in certain ways, or argue certain points whilst in a state of confusion. Hidden, powerful motivations are directing your choices.

    Squares suggest some degree of frustration, and both the energies of Mars and Neptune will seem mutually inhibiting this week, creating distortions in both their favoured modes of expression. The Martial energy operates on an intermittently argumentative course through Gemini, ranging from an obsessive urge to lash out verbally, to almost recanting at times, leaving us with a minimum of motivation and vitality to even finish what we started. The Neptunian ebb and flow messes with our sense of assertiveness, distorting our thoughts and ideas via disconcerting emotional impulses, generating strange imaginations and obsessions, or negative types of habit-patterned or sentimental behaviour, which can be essentially self-destructive especially if we are vulnerable to the Neptunian predilections for booze, drugs and compulsive sexual obsessions.



    Speaking of squares, there are some grindingly tense developments in the astrology of June/July which are perhaps worth foreshadowing throughout April/May. As mentioned, this is mostly a result of worlds colliding, both in the spiritual (metaphysical) and secular (physical) levels of our perceptive experience. Yes, we must keep a foot in both camps if we are to maintain some degree of mastery of this transition to the new world. Slow-moving transitory squares between Saturn/Uranus and Pluto/Eris indicate an anxious base frequency endemic in all cumulative energies throughout 2021. Where these contact the Nodal Axis, there is every indication that these powerfully alchemising transits are affecting the survival and evolutionary progress of all sentient beings on this planet.

    Pluto’s partile sesquisquare to the North Node becomes partile this week on the day of the Aries New Moon. The Pluto/Node contact suggests an oppressive heaviness, an overwhelming pressure for deeply transformative change – a “gun to the head”-type force which leaves us no option but to succumb to extreme demand or face elimination. With Pluto in Capricorn, this massive force (wherever one feels it) motions us more towards the patriarchal (fatherly rule) gestures of social responsibility, where we are ‘nudged’ towards “doing the right thing”. This is all well and good when the benefits of civic compliance are all out in the open, but as we know, with Pluto, much is hidden beneath the surface. Pluto’s sinister intent is always with an agenda to commandeer our soul into some permanently binding contractual agreement, where most of the energetic implications of the arrangement remain buried in secrecy, immuned to questioning or inquiry, entirely obscured from view and largely designed to keep you enslaved to something “until death do you part”. Whether you’re conscious of the obligatory pull or not, there seems to be a force there, holding you to your role.

    Ruled by Saturn, Pluto brings out the more unpropitious elements of Capricorn (Cardinal/Earth) – those shadow traits that relate to the mythological Kronos, the mythical symbol of the cynical father – a weak and infirm old man – the dying king. Here, in the last degrees of Pluto’s transit through Capricorn (2008-2024) we start to see a distinct shadow figure of the rigid-old-man, the disapproving father as it were, whose calcification of consciousness has evolved out of nothing but a morbid dread of his ageing weaknesses, his physical frailties and notions of his imminent mortality. The old man desperately clings to what was his, becoming plagued with maintaining a steadfast grip over his dominion by grimly dictating his own fears over all who fall under its jurisdiction.



    This cruel, unbending archetype became arguably cemented into our collective consciousness in the January of 2020, when Saturn was conjunct Pluto at 22°♑46′, slowly sending our world into a crippling state of collective disease and derangement as if proclaiming a subtle shift towards ultimate authoritarianism. Widespread panic and hysteria about catching a lethal virus then descended over the planet, like a black heavy cloud as state-imposed lockdowns, tight thought-control censorship, severe restrictions on social contact, travel, trade as well as stringent physical and artistic expressions were put into place, and kept there ever since until they are now somewhat part of our daily ‘normality’. These, of course, are hallmarks of authoritarianism’s adumbration over humankind throughout history. Apparently, this is what happens when Pluto transits the Capricorn every 250 years or so – empires fall. Those who care to look at the larger cycle will observe that this is the same deconstructive part of Pluto’s cycle which manifests as a final, mad dash for power and control over a crumbling and decaying dominion, which in fact did nothing but bring about the ultimate demise of Egypt, Babylon, Athens, Rome, Tenochtitlan; and, most recently, the decline of feudal Europe and the indigenous Americas in the mid-1700’s, and is now perhaps looking likely to destroy the entire earth.

    But don’t you worry…

    This model of malignant patriarchy has more to do with dominating and using force (might makes right) over others rather than engaging in a reciprocal, consultative kind of relationship. It is as if the dying old man has sensed that he has outlived his usefulness, and so in clutching to his fading legacy of supremacy; craving for that which he no longer holds, seeks to impose obstacles upon the growth and development for others. As Saturn moved into Aquarius this year, the archetype of the wicked father became typically dissociated from and lost touch with all feeling, with personable relatedness, with creativity and eros, with the heart and compassion, and love itself.

    “Unlimited power in the hands of a few always leads to cruelty.”
    -Alexander Solzhenitsyn

    This cold, seemingly cruel archetype which now (currently indicated by Saturn and Pluto) threatens us with the most negative and malignant shades of patriarchy, suppresses the feminine, as well as kills the spontaneity of life itself. Its proponents, seen throughout governments, institutions and ‘father-figures’ exalt aggressive and exploitative attitudes, discriminating and judging as immature or “regressive” all those who don’t forcibly succumb to the old man’s “succeed and conquer” paradigm. The dark triad of Machiavellianism, psychopathy and narcissism are rampant, thereby subtly and subliminally trying to gaslight and brainwash our youth into the hardened ways of status and money-obsessed methods of a fast-fading world of consumerist capitalism.

    Of course, hidden within this archetype is our own intrinsic power. As we start to see the cracks forming in the matrix of the old patriarchy, the transiting Aries Sun, recently conjunct Chiron and flanked by a soon-Hesperus (evening star) Venus, challenges us to find and speak our true intrinsic voice. Aries imbues each of us with a storming sense of urgency, the urge to access and step into our individual centre of empowerment and true authority. In so doing, we seek to ignite our individual will with the intrinsic spark of the authentic Self. Hence, the Aries New Moon becomes a moment of profound awareness of our ego-centre, that essence of self which is undeniably the source of all personal inspiration and self-identification

    Squares from this Aries lunation to the Capricorn dynamic will symbolically challenge the mythic negative patriarchy and Saturn’s (Kronos) obsession with chrono-logical or spatial/linear (3D) perception of time. There’s nothing innately wrong with linear time, of course – it’s simply a construct of the human mind that can serve as a convenient tool for navigating our life. But taken to extremes, Saturn can use the instrument of limitation and space to become a tyrannical master. Chiron’s sextile serves to mediate this, just as a disruptive Uranean square attempts to symbolically dismantle the negative patriarchy, forcing it to step outside its ‘time-bound’ structures and initiating Kronos into a more synchronous, or ‘present moment’ consciousness – one where time is experienced as a radial matrix whose center is here and now.

    Neptune’s semisquare from Pisces to both Saturn and Uranus holds governance over these now, reminding us that Dreamtime is neither linear nor single-pointed but circular, not fixed but fluid, not mechanistic or merely innovative but natural, not historical but ahistorical. Disrupting and dissolving the essential figure of Father Time, no longer living in a limited, clock-defined world where “time is money,” will subtly initiate humanity to the “syn-chronic” new world order – a boundless realm of infinite interconnectedness and inter-resonance between everything and everything else.

    Of course, these are only dimensions of consciousness in which the synchronic realm the microcosm and macrocosm are mirrored reflections of each other, different iterations of the same underlying, harmonic fractal. Being an astrologer, I am frequently asked by individuals “when is all of this going to end”, which to me immediately betrays the contradictory struggle happening within every living soul – the need to see change, possibly for the better, but not be at all inclined to take one’s dutiful part in making the change happen.

    Blessings, and have an amazing week xx"

    Pluto and the Disease of Control
    April 2, 2021
    https://angstoic.com/2021/04/pluto-a...se-of-control/



    "PLUTO’s full-blown control-freaks and powermongers are more like necrophiliacs now; their sick desire to control the entire planet, suck out all of life is a perverse violation against our very nature whose abundant creative force and spontaneity they both crave and fear. More and more, this invisible lust for power is a morbid grab toward total death and destruction itself, something by which they are secretly aroused.

    From a cosmic perspective, our planetary attempts at ‘civic’ orderliness; our shambolic effort at “civilization” has once again become exposed as being merely an infectiously virulent, metastasizing eruption of mass psychosis, threatening to destroy not only its human host but also the entire biosphere that supports life, both on earth and under our seas. Apparently, this is what happens when Pluto transits the Capricorn – empires fall. However, this time the dark underlord’s ravenous, voracious, rapacious hunger for glory, status, money, influence, political supremacy will cause it to literally devour everything on the planet, including, finally, itself.

    His ruthlessness knows no boundaries; his ambition tramples over all frontiers; his corruption eats away at any edges; his obnoxious arrogance obliterates any limitations, however firm. Obsessive in his desire, Pluto penetrates any membrane without any hint of empathy.

    These dark, corrosive characteristics all tend to push the individual’s awareness away from the source and toward the extremes, always shunning away from the light of creativeness and into shadows of destruction and depravity. Once the initial germ of infection sets in, the Plutonic urge to hijack the spirit, dominate and distort the light runs rampant. Here, the abuse of a child, the rape of a woman, the defilement of a people, the denigration of an entire culture – it’s all the same. Power is his end game.

    This disease to control everything and everyone – to have others submit to the “do as I say” principle of Capricorn’s patriarchal hypocrisy is nothing but an unchecked psychopathic obsession running rampant, getting worse and worse by the hour…

    You are not immune from it. Each time you point the finger and cast a censorious judgement, throwing shade upon others without looking closely at yourself you show signs that you are infected. Many are already too far gone. They are gathering at the extreme edges, coagulating into curdles of dead-souls, amassing into oblivious brigades of zombies, ready to fight it out in Pluto’s game of social descent.

    If you are out on the edges… holding extreme views and carping them off with extreme measures, playing your dark little games of feigning to be somewhat superior to others, it’s likely that your soul, too, is contaminated by this virus. You are possessed by Pluto’s insidious bug, that seeks to satisfy its own narcissistic cravings for short-lived social kudos, quenching its lust through some depraved orgasmic release, attaining ‘power and glory’ in the hollow victory of short-term profits, without a trace of any soul-awareness of the long-term implications of your predatory actions.

    I might sound like I’m preaching a little bit here, but just bear in mind – this is the same part of Pluto’s cycle that manifested as an unstoppable mania for power and prestige – ultimately bringing about the fall of Egypt, Babylon, Athens, Rome, Tenochtitlan; (most recently – about 250 years ago) the decline of feudal Europe and the indigenous Americas, and is perhaps now looking likely to destroy the entire earth.

    One difference…
    An emerging new consciousness is starting to radiate out from behind your eyes, shining profound levels of heart-light upon the narcissistic misapprehension of your mirrored self; a light so bright it can obliterate the darkness in the old corners and corridors of power, turning reality on its head."


    GEMINI NORTH NODE REMINDER
    April 7, 2021
    https://angstoic.com/2021/04/gemini-...node-reminder/


    "Remember, you ain’t going to hear ‘the truth’ because you’re not likely to accept just one story or stick with any one detail. You’re most likely going to want to keep an open mind throughout all this.

    GEMINI NORTH NODE suggests we’re more comfortable with seeing different aspects, hearing differing opinions, embracing diverse views and life’s general ambiguity rather than insisting on an absolute answer or ‘truth’.

    Your “honest opinion”, whilst sincerely valued for its honesty, needs to leave plenty of room for nature’s cosmic law to exercise her divine will and restore justice and balance.

    Also, another marker that things are heading south is the collapse of the distinction between truth and fiction (and the chaos this engenders), further opening the gateway to fascist, tyrannical forces – both out in the world and within our own mind – whose only desire is to divide our thinking, control and manipulate us."

    NEW MOON at 22°♈25' - The death of the old patriarch, the birth of a new dreamworld
    https://app.getresponse.com/view.htm...hv4&z=ESSZt7l&


    "Greetings Fellow Travellers,

    It is the darkest phase of the Moon, a tender time when the energetic field is in a letting-go stage of its current incarnation. Nothing makes way for the new like a sacred purge - the body, mind, spirit willing to flush any toxicities, make way for the kernel of creation that will germinate at New Moon.

    Similarly, nothing augurs an ending like this potent lunation. The past two weeks, since the Chirotic Full Moon (Mar 29) has indeed been a painful time, one where we have been confronted with our wounds, the residue of trauma and shame that we carry both in our bodies and in our collective memories through our patrilineal history. In the past fortnight, we have sensed much grief, the pain of deeply gauging complexes; complexes that we cannot heal. It is the pain that stays with us, moon after moon, purge after purge.

    We cannot rid ourselves of our wound complexes. Rather, we can become consciously aware of them. What becomes most significant to us in the moon cycle is how we deal with our emotional complexes - the psychic agencies that flavour and circumscribe our subconscious approach to the world.

    Jung calls it the "via Regia" [Regal pathway] to our unconscious "...however, it is not the dream … but the complex which is the author of dreams and of symptoms.”

    Those of you following my astrological narratives on the 'Cosmic Bus' are familiar that we have been speaking about authority, sovereignty and exploring who is the author of our being - the symposium of electromagnetic fields that compose our energetic complex.

    Our complexes are the living elemental aspects of our soul, the living sun/moon/planetary relationship, acting and reacting as the focal or nodal points of psychic life, in which the energy charge of the various archetypes of the collective unconscious is concentrated.



    At the dark of this moon, squaring Pluto in the final degrees of Capricorn, something major is dying: the archetype of the toxic patriarch, which has more to do with dominating and exerting force (“might makes right”) over others rather than participating in a reciprocal, conciliatory, equilateral relationship. The 'dying old king' symbolically represents an absolute authoritarian position in our consciousness that has outlived its purpose and meaningfulness and thus now stands as an obstruction to the new growth and development of consciousness itself. We see this decay wherever we see pessimism, disease, fear and death.

    This archetypal figure of the dying, morose father shows a civilization in decline, in need of being liquefied, dissolved, and de-solidified, of being given an alchemical immersion in the healing and rejuvenating waters of the collective psyche.

    As the Moon approaches the Aries Sun, Venus and Eris, our body's emotionally charged complexes become the epicentre of powerful magnetic fields, opening up its attractive force and potentially assimilating to it anything that bears specific resonance to our intrinsically unique self, a mirroring energetic relevance in the cosmos, vital to the formation of a new being.

    This sacred inner process can be observed most intensely at the height of this lunation, as it enacts itself in the outer world when we react to outer events or come into contact with those whose activated complexes become drafted into our process of self-awareness, playing an interchangeable part in the development of our psyche and its consciousness of the ego.

    As we are observing over the past few years, the entire of our species has seemed to split off, become divergent into two separate realms. There are those who are possessed by the lowest, primordial instincts for survival, compelled to unconsciously act out so as to give shape and living form to the archetypal, daemonic energies of control over the dominion of the third dimension. As we have discussed, these individuals seem entirely split off from consciousness, the corporeal body governed by the entity of darkness; the auspices of envy, jealousy and greed, ruled by a daemonic sovereign who, in his desperately malevolent essence, is prepared to reign strife and mayhem over this planet in order to survive. And yet, as we are seeing, the dominion of the third dimension and its principles of scarcity and division are also falling away, dissolving into the sea.

    What is being borne in the new earth is a light-being, possessed only with a highly individuated set of autonomous complexes, the development of a seemingly independent will, a self-governing entity whose agency of individual sovereignty subsists in a quasi-life of its own and can potentially engulf and possess the total personality in a balanced, healthy, higher-dimensional form.

    It is time to clear the path now, ignite the light for a distinctly new direction.

    Blessings, and may you have an amazing new moon xx "

    Dispelling The Dreaded Curse: SCORPIO SUPERMOON at 07°♏06
    Tuesday, April 27 at 3:33 UTC
    https://angstoic.com/2021/04/dispell...27-at-333-utc/


    "At the culminating phase of the moon’s synodic cycle, we are provided with a unique opportunity to observe our most deeply troubling personal matters, approach them with some degree of maturity and wisdom and consider how we might proceed in order to get the best out of our experience. The moon is closer to the earth and in her sign of utmost detriment, perhaps elucidating emotions that we are commonly not comfortable seeing among one another, especially under otherwise ordinary circumstances.
    At Full Moon, the primal Solar/Lunar energies dissipate, pulling away as if separating from one another. Conscious ego-desires (Sun) which are usually trying to coherently marry with our unconscious needs (Moon) appear now to be at tremendous odds. We may try to keep it all together, but at times like these, there seems to be great disparity and attention needed to make ends meet.

    Something is not sitting well, perhaps hidden, and our soul feels torn by inner conflict. By projection, it is often through some kind of relationship crisis that we come to recognise what’s eating at us; whether certain situations are working out for us or we appear to have lost control or power. Critical decisions may need to be made on which way to go, and it’s important that we meet these with some degree of responsibility and care to reach an agreement and avoid loss and separation.

    This intensely bright Scorpio Moon, now in opposition to the Taurus Sun, lucidly exposes the elemental qualities of both fixed/feminine (receptive) signs, holding up their modal qualities at their most diametrical. Both signs like to hang on to stuff like it’s a matter of life and death – the watery Scorpio to her emotions; the earthy Taurus to physical matter. When the luminaries form an opposition here, it dredges up a range of rigid attitudes around what we have vs. what we desire from others. It is a time when we must take firm stock of what we’re worth and how much we’re willing to give up or merge with others in order to attain some degree of balance and peace. As circumstances become more entrenched, we find ourselves grappling with others as we try to reconcile between issues of:

    ownership vs. possession
    constructiveness vs. destruction;
    investment vs. divestment
    placidity vs. enragement;
    conservatism vs. change;
    trust vs. suspicion;
    stability vs. crisis;
    security vs. meltdown.

    The complexity of this dilemma, including contributing dynamics from other alignments, was discussed in our most recent episode of the cosmic bus. These planetary alignments, such as a hard-aspect Neptune; the Pluto stationing (retrograde hours after this lunation); the fixed T-square formed with Saturn/Uranus; the Mercury/Venus conjunction at the far rise of the Taurus Sun; and the Mars in Cancer (currently out of bounds) only add to the overall intensity, volatility and nervous tension surrounding this moment.



    Please look carefully at your empowering horoscope messages (below) for a more specific delineation of how to best handle the deeply transformative power of this moon. Where there is enormous tension, frustration and crisis, there is also tremendous opportunity to see unprecedented opportunity to look into our most primordial insecurities.

    THE THREE RELATIONSHIP KILLERS:
    Ultimately, no relationship can endure one-sided, fixed or unyielding terms of give-and-take. Sometimes, due to either/both parties’ stubbornness or unwillingness to change, conditions descend into a grim, decaying emotional paralysis. Situations are held to ransom by the highly manipulative, spiteful emotions of expectation, jealousy and possessiveness. At some point, any or all of these three elements will become toxic and possibly fatal to any arrangement. To be stung by any (or all) of these venomous pricks could mean a slow, silent but certain death once their poison enters the bloodstream of an otherwise healthy partnership. This is nature’s built-in obsolescence against fixation, inability to trust and a reluctance to just let something just ‘be’.

    Possessiveness comes in only when we invite the fear of losing something. If we have assumed that we ‘own’ something that appears to be slipping away from our clutches, this will lead to nagging and destructive criticism. Eventually, the joy in the relationship will disappear completely because the sense of freedom is gone.

    Expectations soon become limiting and unreasonable and when they are no longer able to be met ultimately result in disappointment.

    Jealousy is the debilitating sensation of inadequacy in a relationship that generally arises when we compare our own worth to that of a third party. This ultimately leads to the crippling fear that we may be ignored, abandoned, humiliated or unloved. Wherever there is jealousy, toxic drama and disharmony follow. This eventually spoils any chance of building true intimacy or trust.

    LEARNING TO TRUST
    On this Full Moon, see how this lunation has been slowly, yet powerfully illuminating where you must detach yourself from any fixed expectations and possessiveness in your personal affairs. Look to the incidents that have enraged you, coming to some realisation of how your unchecked anger, spite, bitterness, jealousy, suspicion, denial, secrecy, separation anxiety, and horrors of abandonment or betrayal create shutdowns and blockages in your energetic system. Acceptance of the darker side of our emotions will help them to ease and eventually subside and a peaceable answer to your situation will appear.

    Holding on to what has hurt us, whether recently or in the past, places us at the mercy of missing what life has to teach us. Similarly, if all we learned was to hold onto grudges; seek revenge; never let go or show compassion; judge others as good or evil; be suspicious or spiteful; stay emotionally on edge, waiting to inflict some harm, then we become stuck in the lower, vicious cycle of Scorpio.

    The universe does not present us with emotional conflicts to block access to our heart. The universe only presents us with opportunities to find ways to open it. Through some necessary re-negotiating our fixed terms or finding amicable ways to divest or part ways, the precious emotional investments we make in others can come to a more satisfying sense of appreciation. When we learn to see how blockages only hinder our growth, we raise the ceiling of hope and opportunity for growth.

    By releasing the curse of fixated emotions, we develop compassion, learn to listen patiently, understand lovingly – not through suspicion, demandingness and wild speculation but through practising empathy and developing ways for non-violent conflict resolution. Here, this Scorpio Full Moon presents us with a golden opportunity which, through calm, caring, compassionate maturity, we see how successfully we can transform any infantile dispute into a spiritually transformative experience.

    Enjoy the wonderful gifts showered upon you by this blessed Full Moon xx "

    The Dissipation of Glamour, Hubris and Other Delusions: THE WEEK AHEAD – May 17-23
    May 17, 2021
    https://angstoic.com/2021/05/the-dis...ead-may-17-23/

    "In the final, grounding week of the Sun’s passage through Taurus, the Moon will traverse the ‘relationship sector’ of signs (Leo through Scorpio), providing a much-needed appraisal of all contracts in our lives – specifically those whom we allow to take up much of our more intimate attention by, more often than not, somehow trying to sell us something that doesn’t really matter or even exist outside the constructs of their fabulously glamorising minds.

    Forming her First Quarter on Wednesday at the final, most bombastic degree of Leo, this critical lunar phase is the last before the Supermoon Eclipse on May 26 (05°♐26′). The formation of a dissociative T-square to Jupiter (now in highly voluble Pisces) will remain in orb to both of these quarterly events, as the Sun and Moon will also come to occupy mutable territory themselves.


    By Thursday, the Sun will join Mercury and Venus, now seen as evening stars near the Gemini North Node end, and all will be squaring Neptune in Pisces (the Great Dissolvent) over the next three weeks, providing a warning to those lost in their own, lonely little dream world, drifting through life in a perpetual fog of exclusivity and entitlement, unable to see things clearly. The veil of illusions, pretensions and glamourisations has to be lifted and the pursuit of a much clearer vision of mystical experiences awaits those who can come down from the hubristic high, stay centred and in a pure, meditative space, without distractions and dependencies of ego-falsehoods. It is the devious, twisting, planning mind and the rapidity with which people can use it to deceive themselves (and often seek to deceive others) that greatly hinders their work of clearing away glamour.

    Saturn stations to retrograde on Sunday (23rd), preceding Mercury’s station the following Saturday (29th). As we sail into eclipse terrain, one has an overwhelming sense that the world is on the brink of something hugely humbling… something that could bring even the mightiest giant down to his knees. What could that ‘something’ be? Surely we are not lost in a sea of wishful thinking and false projections…

    Let’s take a look at the main transits, and look briefly at this week’s cosmic hot spots:



    THE FIRST QUARTER LEO MOON at 29°♌01′



    hunter becomes hunted
    Here, at the critical degree of fixed signs, we see a pressing crisis in action since both luminaries (Sun & Moon) are clashing with Mars (fallen in Cancer) and Jupiter (dignified in Pisces). Those activated here will feel immense confidence and an almost hubristic desire to show others how much they value themselves, exuding an exorbitant sense of optimism and enthusiasm that hinges dangerously towards the belligerent, self-righteous and opinionated. Needless to say, we see those qualities not sitting too well against the pride and integrity of anyone who takes offence.



    The Taurean Sun’s rulership over the Leo Moon generates excessive confidence, one whose self-belief is so strong that it feels not in need of verification or permission from others, sticking to strongly deterministic opinions which, whilst generally correct, may clash with the opinions of others who, as it appears, are also immutably correct.

    Where decisions need to be made over matters of moral disagreement, there may be a stubborn refusal to change one’s mind. Inflexibility and intolerance are present in each of us – the ego has to draw the line somewhere to maintain some integrity. If we are not careful to keep an open mind, the watery ♂/♃ alignment conjures volatile judgments and confused reactions; motives already impaired by long-standing prejudices and ideological/religious dogma, which easily inflame minor reactions into nasty and protracted wars. The Sun’s ruler, Venus, aligned on the Gemini NN is a reminder to open our ears and listen to others, try to be a little more humble and restrain our pride – remembering that we cannot ‘be right’ and also expect to have peace.

    Compromising may be another matter though since for all of this year (so far) many have felt the unyielding effect of being locked into the fixity of mind brought about by both Jupiter and Saturn – both gas giants singing from the ‘groupthink’ hymnbook of Aquarius (fixed/air). While this has definitely helped to push forward ideas about change, reform and innovation in today’s society, the anger, resistance and frustration this has generated among many whose fixed views about how the world should go and refusal to see eye to eye (“it’s OUR way or no way at all’) continues to bring tempers to a boil when things seem to look impossibly irreconcilable, especially with a looming second square from Uranus in June.

    SATURN stationing at 13°♒31′ to retrograde May 23 – Oct 11, 2021



    During this period we are pressed to retrace our steps and review how well we have adhered to the structures and duties lain down since Saturn entered his first shadow phase through Aquarius (Feb 14). Saturn’s retrograde period provides an annual process that tests how well we have learned the lessons of the past three months, reviewing those things that seemed to matter most during this period and examine our grasp on physical reality. Our 3D picture of the physical world is merely a crystalised projection of how faithfully we have managed to exteriorise our authentic inner self, and naturally, this cannot defy the laws of gravity and physical sobriety. Hence, it is a time of critical self-judgement, scrutiny and even worries about how you are contributing toward the reality of others.

    Have you been living up to expectations of what you think is realistically required of you?
    Have you been accountable for the responsibilities of life?
    Have you been dishing out expectations to others, attempting to hold them accountable?
    Has there been some slacking, avoidance, stretching of facts, overspending of resources; procrastination; double standards in your relationship to society; some good, ol’-fashioned civic hypocrisy’ going down?
    Time to look back at the most challenging events during the Phase 1 (Rx shadow) period of this retrograde, assess whether what you have been putting out is paving any real, concrete ground.

    With Saturn in the first phases of Aquarius, the concern for impartial truth becomes paramount. In order to come to terms with ‘reality’, we must first become capable of setting aside our ego whims and fancies and see all issues – social or scientific – in the light of im­partial, universal law. In the course of the next 2 years, our ability to quiet the mind and steady the attention to a centred, non-binary way of thinking becomes the necessary prerequisite for the development of the Uranian intuitive faculties of Aquarius.

    Saturn, concentrated here in this fixed-air sign, collectively presses the intellect for the steadiness of attention to key reformist themes, all necessary for this to take place, leading us into original scientific discoveries or new applications of scien­tific knowledge that will help humanity evolve to the next level of understanding 3D form and structure, its geometric nature and mathematical properties.

    On a personal level, we start to get an internal reading on who and what seems reasonable and reliable to us; who can provide a sense of justice and accountability in our lives as well as how loyal, reliable and responsible we can be as friends and as members of groups with whom we work and socialise. We start recognising that in order to happily belong to highly structured, functional organisations, (societies, fraternities, nations, global humanitarian movements, etc), we must first become level-headed and mature, having a better, more up-to-date grip on universal laws.
    Those who are grounded enough to be acutely attuned to their ‘inner reality vector’ will see this period presenting them with a unique set of opportunities to access this firm and direct ‘line of instruction’ from within. Listen to your intuition and how it confers with your sense of social conscience and act accordingly.

    These next few months will hence mature into the alignment of instruction between the perfected, ‘higher self’ and that of the ‘lower (ego-attached) self’ – the one who still has much to learn in their journey here on earth. Rather than fear, what you act upon will feel like an affirmation that you are on the right path, managing the universal laws successfully enough to make a proper difference in your life and the lives of others. Naturally, with Rx Saturn again squaring Uranus (Jun 16) there may be crises brought about by selfish, obstinate and domineering attitudes – expectations of others to play the game according to your rules and to serve your personal interests (and vice versa), generating considerable anguish and tension throughout the next month.

    In spite of any grief, turmoil and distress that appears to be going on leading into the eclipses, this period appears as an opportunity to learn something about our authentic selves. For those who defiantly deny the shifting emphasis of social pressures for reform and equanimity, this Saturn Rx period and the ensuing direct shadow phase (Oct 10, 2021 – Jan 15, 2022) will be a time of considerable frustration and delay.

    Those holding on to lower, fear-based judgements about what’s right/wrong, good/evil, using rigid socio-political, class-based, race/culture-based, gender/sexual-based, religious or moral principles that make little sense other than to incite fear and division will experience considerable drama, both internally and in their external affairs. The inner voice starts to plague them with guilt and shame and, in their ignorance to act responsibly, may begin to project this outwardly with unfortunate consequences.
    SYNOPSIS:
    The next few weeks can be incredibly intense and confronting for those who seem stuck in their inflexible mindset. With the lunar eclipses in mutable signs, we are heading into some seriously protracted periods of conflict over our rigidly held thoughts and beliefs. The mutable (adapting) nature of these lunations is a sign that attitudes are changing, becoming more adaptable. With Mercury also nearing the station to retrograde (May 29), hovering around in square to Neptune, there can be considerable trouble communicating with others due to over-sensitivity to their subjective ideas. People are excessively touchy about their abstract, mystical, woolly-headed ideas, and we may find that the propensity to hurt, offend and upset can be insufferable, leading us further into periods of isolation and withdrawal. Nevertheless, this transparent view into one another’s thinking patterns can give considerable insight into their true, underlying actions and unconscious motives. Through a psychic ability to perceive the cunning, sneaky, delusive construct of the unconscious mind, we can also start to address some of the bigger issues between us.

    IT IS VITAL TO REMEMBER THAT WE ARE STILL IN THE MOST PRECIOUS, COCOONING STAGES OF HUMANITY’S METAMORPHOSIS.

    Can you see where you tend to get stuck in expectations and ‘norms’ that are expired or no longer valid? Can you see where it is simply unsustainable to continue to play along with rigid patterns and where there is room to adjust? I will provide a full report on the critical themes as well as some extensive guidance into the eclipses during the next few days, and as usual, I look forward to discussing the current events in more detail on the Cosmic Bus.

    Many blessings xx "

    Saturn SRx 13°31′ Aquarius
    May 21, 2021
    https://angstoic.com/2021/05/cosmic-...WUOgX81Wwn4l7k

    "Our 3D reality - at least as we perceive it today - holds the sum total of all plausibilities and permutations of every thought-form humanity has ever projected upon it. Consequently, each of us experiences 'reality' in a multitude of different ways.

    Transiting Saturn, ruler of all that is visible and measurable by time and space will show up in any form or structure - whether inspiring or dispiriting - leaving his mark upon our life story. If he is aspecting your chart, he will certainly show up somehow, however, the indelible impact that a Saturn transit will leave upon your psyche depends greatly on how you choose to perceive his effect. If you are prone to resonate in dreadful or limiting fear-patterns, then the influence might be crippling, frustrating or limiting. However, it does not have to be so negative. Much depends on your attitude to pressing responsibilities and the obligatory discipline required to accomplish what has to be done to be 'you'.

    Certain horoscopes are going to experience a Saturn transit repeatedly over a key planet or important degree by retrogression, which really serves to drive a certain lesson home. When Saturn hits that degree, passes on, stations, retrogrades over that degree, stations, turns direct, and finally passes over that degree again for the last time, this might seem to be a case of excessive pressure or cruelty (of sorts), but as we often come to see (in hindsight), there was a very distinct, character-defining purpose.

    Saturn packs the exact lesson we have yet to learn, and whether we like it or not, sets perimeters and structures within which to build, tear down and reconstruct our sense of mental, physical and spiritual reality. Currently stationed at 13°♒31', Saturn will retrograde Sunday, going over ground we've been covering since Feb 14, including a second square to URANUS in a few weeks. Certainly some lessons there for some of you."

    Sun Enters Cancer and Full Moon at 3°27' Capricorn
    Thursday June 24, 18:39 UTC
    https://app.getresponse.com/view.htm...hv4&z=Ew8cMVK&



    "Greetings Fellow Travelers,

    The Sun at 00°00′ Cancer (Solstice) represents a powerful turning point in our year. Light is directed inwardly, to our innermost private, precious and personal areas. From this point, we are blessed with the meta-awareness to instinctively feel our way through what is happening in our lives, skillfully navigate our way through so we can further serve to strengthen our intention, deepen our connection with the light of lucidity, hone our skill of creativity, transmit our realisations and cultivate more open-hearted connections.

    It is time to pull back from the insanity of what is going on out there and focus on what’s closest to our heart. Your feelings will guide you to the things that matter most, and if you’re being pulled towards home and family, self-nurturance and care, sentiments to cultivate a more communal life – one of substance and which is inherently (not apparently) real – then you are, in a sense, following your ‘nesting’ instincts.

    Make ready, for the fight ahead could be dark unless you are groundly rooted in your mother earth. Jupiter, now stationed in early Pisces, will assist in your journey of self-reflection, through which you can access, within yourself, the faculty of the psyche from which all sovereign, creative activity derives.

    This recent eclipse period has been a critical time of immense awareness of our own mental consciousness, and although our new earth-vehicle/body/self is yet unformed, if we hold up a mirror and reflect back on the insanity now being exhibited by those infected and possessed by the collective madness – this epidemic of mass-psychosis, we run the very real risk of being accused of being the ones who are crazy. Hence, we must recede, stay tightly knitted inside our cocoon, focusing on the transformation going on deep within, at the cellular level.



    Cancer is ruled by the Moon which acts upon the gravitational pull of the water in our bodies; the inner tides of emotion and instinctive habits. If we do manage to connect with the light within ourselves, try to share it with others, we habitually form entire bodies of water which are, invisibly, the basis of all communities and communal life.

    Our deepest connection to our intrinsic nature becomes a connection to nature herself, and, in the coming weeks, serves as our only true defence against the manufactured madness that is the outer reflection of this perverse state of toxic, collective shadow projection. Whether we are aware of this or not, we at war against divisiveness and judgement, with people who willingly, of their own volition, as if under the hypnotic throes of Stockholm syndrome, invest in and support their own arrest and imprisonment by the greater body politic of the corporatised world-domination agenda.

    As the Sun opposes Pluto (July 17) we get to see more openly how emissaries of an authoritarian, militarized, patriarchal class are vying for global power and control, breeding a new fascism, and spreading terror upon humanity. This must not be allowed, under any pretext. It starts with you, nurturing the new growth emerging from deep within your inner forest.

    Solstice Blessings, and may you have an amazing Full Moon xx "

    METAMORPHOSIS I: The Closing of the Old and Dawn of the New Human: FULL MOON at 03°28′ CAPRICORN
    Thursday, June 24, 18:39 UTC
    https://angstoic.com/2021/06/metamor...e-24-1839-utc/



    "It is Full Moon again, when the primal energies of the Sun and Moon appear to be pulling in diametrical directions from one another. During the monthly moon dance, lunar moods tend to fluctuate and vary in aspect to solar interests, offering a fully-rounded reflection on how the rest of us might see the chief expression of the Sun’s intensely luminous glow through each sign of the zodiac. At the culminating phase, it appears that the Moon is fully mirroring the Sun, except, she is doing this from a completely contradictory stance.

    At the Cancer Solstice, the Sun represents a powerful turning point in our year. Here, his light is directed inwardly, to our innermost private, precious and personal areas. From this point, we are blessed with the meta-awareness to instinctively feel our way through all the intimate areas of our lives, skillfully navigate our way through so we can further serve to strengthen our intention, deepen our connection with the light of lucidity, hone our skill of creativity, transmit our realisations and cultivate more open-hearted connections.

    It is time to pull back from the insanity of what is going on out there and focus on what’s closest to our heart. Your feelings will guide you to the things that matter most, and if you’re being pulled towards home and family, self-nurturance and care, sentiments to cultivate a more communal life – one of substance and which is inherently (not apparently) real – then you are, in a sense, following your ‘nesting’ instincts.

    In this culminating phase of the lunation, which occurs just three days into the Sun’s Cancer journey, we are barely given a chance to fully explore the inner world before the conflict of incongruity and disengagement starts to occur. The Moon, who rules the sign of Cancer – indicating governance over the Sun, is herself in the sign of her detriment. In Capricorn, her emotions are constricted, repressed. She reflects upon life with a sense of duty and reservation, she is harsh and judgemental, and since her focus is on tending to her social responsibilities, we are left feeling cold, emotionally starved, deprived of any joys and wholly under­nourished on every level.

    The conflict here occurs when we feel incapable of helping others or appre­ciating their caring when we ourselves are intensely dissatisfied. We may find that we have become increasingly despondent and self-doubting, withdrawing into our shell, brooding and worrying incessantly, unable either to give or receive love. This is consistent with the greater evolutionary process of the past two years, where the Nodal axis saw the Capricorn South Node in alignment to Pluto, Saturn and Jupiter (2020) Here the forces of change and restructuring have pressed us into a corner, cocooning each of us into a state of metamorphosis. If we have substituted security for emotion­al fulfilment by clinging to our home, family or otherwise devoting ourselves totally to our career, then things may seem, at this point, to be entirely out of balance.

    These next lunations highlight the tough part of humanity’s spiritual journey, particularly if we have become overly preoccupied with our role as a parent or custodian (leader, boss, governor), trying unsuccessfully to satisfy our needs through our children or those in our charge when we are met with surmountingly complex circumstances.

    We must make ready, for the fight ahead could be dark unless you are groundly rooted in your mother earth. Jupiter, now stationed in early Pisces, will assist by lending wisdom in your journey of self-reflection, through which you can access, within yourself, the faculty of the psyche from which all sovereign, creative activity derives. Attempting to meet all your needs through clinging relationships or compulsive work provides no solution to your existential dilemma. Irritable moods and a growing dissatisfaction cripple us from concentrating and applying ourselves to making the important changes that are necessary in this transition.

    Venus’ opposition to Pluto, also in Capricorn, is a foreshadowing of the extraordinary deep impact of the coming New Moon (July 10). Here, the most extreme stresses upon our relationships will force us to confront hidden motives, those driven by past trauma and disempowerment. During this time, we are able to channel powerful feelings which interfere with our duty and responsibility to one another, at all levels. Cancer teaches us that by attending to our deepest emotional needs; learning to care and nourish ourselves, we not only become more fulfilled but also grow stronger and in­creasingly self-sufficient, able to cope with any further re­strictions or deprivations that the demanding Pluto in Capricorn has been imposing in order for us to evolve out of the old patriarchal matrix.

    This recent eclipse period has been a critical time of immense awareness of our own mental consciousness, and although our new earth-vehicle/body/self is yet unformed, if we hold up a mirror and reflect back on the insanity now being exhibited by those infected and possessed by the collective madness – this epidemic of mass-psychosis, we run the very real risk of being accused of being the ones who are crazy. Hence, we must recede, stay tightly knitted inside our cocoon, focusing on the transformation going on deep within, at the cellular level.

    The Cancer-ruling Full Moon, although debilitated by dignity, acts upon the gravitational pull of the water in our bodies; structuring the inner tides of emotion and instinctive habits in ways that either better serve or otherwise cripple our developments. If we can manage to connect with the light within ourselves, try to responsibly share it with others, we can form entire clusters – bodies of water-cells which are, imperceptibly, the basis of all communities and communal life. The emotional nutriment which Cancer seeks and provides inspires us all to form rich and enduring con­nections with other people. Through facing up to our conflicts with others, dealing with the vulnerabilities and insecur­ities in our personal relationships, we make way for a new level of emotional depth, commitment and satisfaction that can be ex­perienced with another person.

    Our deepest connection to our intrinsic nature becomes a connection to nature herself, and in the coming weeks serves as our only true defence against the manufactured madness that is the outer reflection of this perverse state of toxic, collective shadow projection. Whether we are aware of this or not, we at war against divisiveness and judgement, with people who willingly, of their own volition, as if under the hypnotic throes of Stockholm syndrome, invest in and support their own arrest and imprisonment by the greater body politic of the corporatised world-domination agenda.

    As the Sun opposes Pluto (July 17) we get to see more openly how emissaries of an authoritarian, militarized, patriarchal class are vying for global power and control, breeding a new fascism, and spreading terror upon humanity. This must not be allowed, under any pretext. Because you are willing to take responsibility for your actions, able to confront childish be­haviours, feelings of abject helplessness, you are able to step up to the plate and eradicate those past habits patterns which are no longer fruitful or nourishing.

    It starts with you, nurturing the new growth emerging from deep within your inner forest.

    Pluto and Psychic Epidemics
    June 25, 2021
    https://angstoic.com/2021/06/pluto-a...hic-epidemics/


    "The creative adults of tomorrow are the children who survive today’s systematised social derangement.

    'A group experience takes place on a lower level of consciousness than the experience of an individual. This is due to the fact that, when many people gather together to share one common emotion, the total psyche emerging from the group is below the level of the individual psyche. If it is a very large group, the collective psyche will be more like the psyche of an animal, which is the reason why the ethical attitude of large organizations is always doubtful. The psychology of a large crowd inevitably sinks to the level of mob psychology. If, therefore, I have a so-called collective experience as a member of a group, it takes place on a lower level of consciousness than if I had the experience by myself alone.'
    ~ C.G. Jung, The Archetypes and the Collective Unconscious

    Jung is talking about the power of Pluto transits to possess and influence mass psychology. Pluto in Capricorn is the mania of corporatism and administrative materialism which, in the most extreme manifestation – as activated by the Saturn/Pluto conjunction and the eclipses on the Capricorn South Node in 2020 – erupted into the collective psyche as anxiety about death and extinction. Here, it is not one individual’s perception, but the prevailing consensus that experienced a split from a previously held perception of reality.

    When the collective loses its mind, it breaks into a mass psychosis, ie. when the mental disorder becomes the norm rather than the exception in a society, we have a situation which Jung called a “psychic epidemic”.

    Obvious examples of mass psychoses, where people literally “lost their minds” en masse are the witchhunts of the 16th and 17th centuries and the rise of totalitarianism in the 20th century, where entire herds of people exhibited a split or detachment from reality and spiraled into such a descent of delusions and paranoia that the collective mindset permitted humans to execute the most abhorrent crimes upon their own kind…

    It’s obvious now that man – nature’s foremost predator, – not some virus from bats, or a disease like cancer, or famine, earthquake, climate cooling or solar minimums – just man alone who is man’s greatest threat to the extinction of man, simply because (as history has shown) there’s no way of protecting ourselves against what Jung called these “psychic epidemics”.

    Jung also said that when the individuals who make up the infected masses of society “become morally and spiritually inferior” they “sink unconsciously to an inferior intellectual state”, hence they become “more unreasonable, irresponsible, emotional, erratic, and unreliable,”. Worst of all, under the spell of mass hysteria, the individual is likely to commit crimes that he would otherwise find abhorrent.

    This is why I get wary when I see the herd instinct, as influenced by the public projection of repressed shadow patterns endemic in the culture (like hatred, intolerance, greed, etc), taking hold. This is something that every now and again grips scientists and politicians alike as they collectively subscribe to the ‘status quo’ view of reality. My instinct, when I see any herd running one way, is to promptly march another way.

    Astrology – like all quantum sciences – teaches us that there are many different perspectives, in fact, that there is no one absolute, objective reality. Everything depends on your subjective point of view, coloured by individual filters, perspexes of perception. Things only exist for you if you are able to bring them into your consciousness, and then again, your degree or angle of that perception is critical to what you will make of it. If, say, you cannot see the moon because it is a cloudy night or it is currently on the other side of the earth or near a new Moon, does it mean that the moon does not exist?

    It’s like a tree falling in the forest. If there is nobody there to hear it, does it make a sound?
    What if I told you that the tree that fell in the forest made a loud crash? Would you believe me?

    We have a situation where the herd/mass-mind/groupthink is telling us something that, due to observation and perception (or lack thereof) is prone to make us run in certain directions. In essence, at this stage, we don’t quite know the right direction. You have a choice in which way to run because your instincts are getting stronger. Herein – this awareness of your choices – lies the remedy and even cure against this mass psychosis; this wetiko madness; the Plutonian force that seeks to break you down, corrupt your mind and ruin your body, your spirit…"

    PRELUDE TO ANARCHY (Updated)
    July 1, 2021
    https://angstoic.com/2021/07/prelude-to-anarchy/


    "When MARS starts to activate the SATURN/URANUS square, you may feel a sudden urge to break with convention, which in many ways may feel beyond oppressive.

    In fact, between now and Sunday, if you’ve been putting up with crap you can no longer bear, you may surprise yourself by suddenly breaking rank, going in a completely separate direction. It feels insufferably tense; untenable, as if your mind and spirit have had it with your body and the poor state it’s in and just split.

    If you are unaware of any tensions at this moment, you may be shocked to witness strange, and abrupt actions, perhaps even hostility and in the worst cases be subject to sudden accidents, calamities and devastating blows. As if the foundations upon which your house was built have suddenly given way, the entire order of your life suddenly collapses, leaving you wondering why you hadn’t seen it coming. But really, somewhere in you you knew and should have also known that all of this would come to pass since after all, all structures are impermanent.



    Similarly too, you’ll see the rising tensions brewing between PLUTO/ERIS against the NODAL AXIS – we’re in it now, “survival of the fittest” forces of nature’s selection process which, upon humanity, are as old as the hills.

    With the Moon conjunct Neptune, this may be a good day to call in sick, although under the circumstances you may end up never coming back, or even find yourself being fired; made redundant, or head for the hills and never ever feel you’re ready to return (to THAT).

    Just know, you can run for the hills but there’s no hiding now, and you’ll be turned back anyways. When the universe is conspiring, you have no choice but to see the true “choices”.

    With the NN in Gemini, we are all called in to get it together, start listening to one another, see both sides of every argument. You may not believe a thing you hear, agree with none of it, but (as the Sadge SN shows us) it would be completely asinine to adopt an attitude which is single-pointedly “right”, or righteous and dogmatic, and in the worst-case sense decide to splinter off and start a community of like-minded fools out in the woods when the real work is to get our cities in order, overthrow the priests and prefects masquerading as scientists and reconnect the pathways of communication so that all voices can be heard, all roads are open and all channels are flowing in a healthy two-way stream.



    As MARS clocks over from SATURN to URANUS, the state of hypernormalised absurdity hits home like a hot rush of blood to the frontal lobes. This in turn epitomises an outspokenness or execution of raging independence, a demand for freedom from coercion and confinement.

    Violent emotions erupt into adrenaline-fueled superstunts, so be on alert for MARS’ extremely individualistic displays of BDE, for whom sovereignty and supreme showmanship is king. Mars in Leo is daring, insouciant and disdainful of perils, purposely pouncing into places where angels fear to tread – and triumphing, despite the long odds.

    Car crashes, collapsing towers, shipwrecks, aircraft failures, fires, lightning storms and other such sudden, violent disasters are more likely around this time, yet by no means likely to affect everyone. Check out your planets in fixed signs, and be especially alert if you have anything around 13°55′ SCORPIO – there’s really no hiding from this.

    Ironically, in a world so uptight on imposing rules and regulations, it is the clowns, comics and lunatics who dare to call it all for what it T.I. is…"

    hi ONAWAH on the subject of uranus, you may be interested to know that uranus has been in parallel alignment with 2 blue/white PEGASUS stars ALGENIB and MARKAB since may and due to the retro turnaround and back again, will be aligned this way until december..PEGASUS the flying horse, to my mind resonates strongly with uranus, especially the blue/white stars..this would bring out the more benefic elevating side of uranus, more so when mars saturn moves out of alignment ...perhaps this may make sense to you as we all tune into the astro weather on an energetic level..something to consider anyway for what its worth... power to your perception

    Gimme Shelter: NEW MOON at 18°02′ CANCER
    Saturday, July 10, 01:17 UTC
    https://angstoic.com/2021/07/gimme-s...y-10-0117-utc/



    "The Cancer New Moon, the last of this year’s supermoons, is also perhaps the most personal since its cardinal watery nature activates the maternal, nurturing, protective instincts in us all. Everyone somehow relates to the sympathetic, emotionally receptive response to life – our inner child seeks nourishment comfort and support, to feel protected and secure, and to be coddled and consoled, especially in times of need.

    The past 12 months has not been an easy time. Last year’s Cancer New Moon (Jul 21) opposing the harsh Saturn/Pluto in Capricorn, which followed a Cancer Total Solar Eclipse (Jun 21) had a devastating effect on our emotional ties. Many of the connections to our local communities, family and our most cherished friends had become severed as a result of extreme global phenomena. Although rough, isolating and in many ways catastrophic to our accustomed habits and cultural habitats, external pressures forced us deeper into ourselves, as if the universe was asking us to withdraw from the existing intersubjective reality and observe just how subjective and personal this whole experience is, for each of us.

    Suddenly, we all found ourselves alone, in our own private universe. The sense of distance and alienation, whilst initially bewildering and strange to many of us, has also afforded us the chance to set a new baseline from which to examine our emotional dependencies to things like ‘home, family, tribal and instinctive urges, as well as ties to our history and cultural influences. Over the past year, we have come to discover just how governed we are by our deeply-rooted, unconscious patterns. Over-attachment to habitual behaviours can be toxic and destructive, leads to smothering, suffocating, possessive, and indulgent behaviour which, if it refuses to see itself, develops into a symbiotic, parasitic and ultimately terminal end.

    In retrospect, 2020’s double Cancer lunations bestowed an emotional reset moment upon the entire planet. Universal forces conspired to mess with humanity’s clannish insecurities, sever its unwritten provincial attachments to the past, its blindly whimsical clutches to one another, and in an evolutionary jolt, shook many of us monkeys out of our trees, bringing us down to earth with a resounding thump. We have been forced to deal with our feelings towards everything that connects us, not only to one another but to our past. Tremendous self-effacement has exposed how we often behave like indulgent, infantile, martyr-like, hysterical, self-pitying, pathetic little babies. Much of this has been deeply jolting to our emotional bodies, which store memories of trauma, both personal and transgenerational.



    This year’s Cancer lunation is similarly intense, not merely because it is a supermoon and emotions are heightened, but squares to Chiron/Eris indicate that we are still somewhat sensitive to historic wounds of shame, rejection and feeling horribly left out of the loop. The opposition to Pluto only reverberates some of the ongoing problems and challenges we face around power, extremely unconscious reactions that continue to surface in our interpersonal relationships. These are usually triggered when we express or feel subjected to overbearing, provocative and dominating behaviours from anyone who tries to be in control of all situations, especially those who desire to be in a position of authority. Our instinctive reactions to this may be similarly subversive and manipulative in order to resist or reclaim our own power. We will see this interminable, unrelenting struggle to reclaim control, this desire to change the world into how it best suits our own image, to reflect the way we think it should be over the course of the next 12 months.

    The Cancer lunation’s trine to Neptune in Pisces indicates how the world that we experience is opening itself to us in the specific way it shows up as an instantaneous reflection of the way in which we wish to observe it. This means that our inner attitudes, thoughts, beliefs, and assumptions, all subjective states of mind, play a central role in the evocation of the particular form that the world appears to us moment by moment. It is important to note here that in order to understand our world as holistically (fully) as possible, we need to merge the objective/scientific and our subjective/emotional spheres of knowledge, shifting from a science of objectivity to the science of intersubjectivity.

    In any sense, whether you are conscious of it or not, your attention is now focusing, more and more intensely, on redefining certain personal areas, be they home, family, economic, personal health immunity, domestic control and job security, the yearning for belonging to a greater community, your feelings of humanness which somehow bind you to the world around you.

    We are looking to be alike, and to be liked in kind and, as such, where attention goes, energy (intention) flows…
    On this New Moon, you are forming a special intention for the months ahead. How does this present for you?

    Blessings to you all, and may you have an amazing New Moon xx

    Symbols of Inequity – FULL MOON at 01°26′ AQUARIUS
    Saturday, July 24, 2021
    https://angstoic.com/2021/07/symbols...y-24-0238-utc/



    "Full Moons bring us moments of tremendous illumination. With the Sun’s entry into Leo, the energies of this lunation are fresh and potent because they occur at the critical first degree. Hence, their symbolism is raw and strikingly obvious. The Moon’s opposition to the Leo Sun from Aquarius reveals two very diametrically opposing realities:

    Leo Aquarius
    Me We
    I rule (autocracy) People power (democracy)
    my decision (executive agency) let’s put it to the vote (social justice)
    check out my achievements it’s a team effort, dude
    Artist Scientist
    Lover Friend
    Master of the universe Radical Free Agent
    Leo wants to be the one who makes all the decisions because he (being the prime predator) feels like he knows best. Never wrong, always right, the proud lion, king of the jungle, does not like to be told otherwise.

    Aquarius has a problem with absolute right. She begs to differ. She prefers to defer to the consensus of the tribe. As the designated spokesperson of the group, Aquarius creates ideological movements and, if necessary, protests to the contrary in order to bring about much-needed changes and reforms to the systems of social governance.

    Shifts in civil control, when resisted by both fixed signs, eventually lead to hard sociopolitical swings. Both the systems of totalitarian rule and extreme dissent among the masses could result in social revolutions and anarchy until a healthy balance is achieved.

    In most parts of the civilised world, it would appear that the more extreme and unyielding forms of authoritarian rule are being employed. In a world where much division prevails, fear and paranoia are prime levers that governments will employ to get the people to comply. In our highly intersectionalised ways of thinking, we are distancing ourselves from any moderate notion of achieving any true democracy (egalitarian rule by the people), or republic (fairly elected leaders), or even a meritocracy (rule by our best and brightest achievers).

    In today’s case, it is arguable that the world is becoming plagued by kakistocracy (rule by the worst; most unfit to rule). I’m guessing this will finally inspire (or force) us, as free-thinking, empowered individuals, to eventually seek an alternative, hopefully transcending the need for all exterior forms of government altogether.

    Perhaps, instead of individual rulers, the future of tomorrow will be run by a singular computer-programmed algorithm, managing our resources so efficiently that we do not need to see unequal suffering. We know that much power now rests in the hands of private individuals – corporate billionaires whose wealth and prestige has come from ingenious ways to sell their novel products.

    Since absolute power, in the hands of one (or a few) individuals corrupts, we need to find a way to manage ourselves on this planet without the threat of our collective fate ultimately falling into the designs of a single, corruptible, greed-driven, warmongering oligarch. But then, how can we aspire to something which has never been tested? Especially since today’s tech giants have themselves already shown that they cannot be trusted with our most precious resource: our individual freedom to privacy, free speech, ability to form new movements and even overturn the system?

    Today’s Full Moon, at 01°♒26′ highlights the widespread inequality and division in our societies that still (no matter how well concealed) are run under jungle rule. The current political imbalances are hierarchical and result in the increasing predominance of wealthy elites who now prey upon the masses, restricting their freedoms and free enterprise by enslaving them into their systems of compliance through clever business and political structures.

    It seems that those with enough money can buy virtually anything, including political influence. It is clear that elites of the infotech and biotech stratospheres are now intent on advancing supreme governance over the entire social order by forcing humankind’s subscription to their brands, as they go to war with one another.



    The Aquarian Moon’s proximity to Pluto in the last degrees of Capricorn (both Aquarian rulers, Uranus and Saturn currently at odds in a square) describes the inherent tension among the public. Through the relentless use of biased or misleading information circulated via mainstream media, the elite rulers intend to push a particular political agenda via emotional means. This mass-mind manipulation amounts to nothing short of a gaslighting propaganda war, one which exploits the human capacity for emotional reactivity. By using coercive fear and agitation, the ruling parties and their instrument of disseminating information manipulate the masses into either approval or resistance towards a given stance, thereby limiting any chance to engage in any reasonable argument.

    The blazing Sun, in his first degrees of Leo, bursts forth with particularly fierce Machiavellian prowess. He seems garishly certain of his entitlement over ‘his’ domain. However, against Saturn, also opposing in Aquarius, Leo’s self-serving ideologies are seen by those who are seriously sceptical as being perilously flawed, for they inherently function as barriers to the acquisition of all, even his own self-knowledge. This self-blindness does not go unnoticed at this lunation.

    Worse still, the Moon, besieged in this lunation between Saturn and Pluto, reveals the heavy suppression of subjective beliefs of individual citizens. This organised and systematic control of people’s intuitive ability to form independent networked engagement only crimps and distorts their sense of social security. Thus, shutting off all means for public discourse and debate, any reasonable hope for analysing our current social reality seems all but eradicated.

    Nonetheless, the Full Aquarian Moon reflects the full extent of the self-entitled Leo Sun’s flawed ideologies as the epitome of injustice and inequality, producing a sort of ideological entrapment, highlighting all areas where the elitist agenda only promotes social division via the implementation of shady policies and skewed rationality. Ultimately, we discover how the elimination of free speech terminally undermines the core of liberal democratic ideals.

    If Full Moons augur endings, then this stark intensification of the violation of our social liberties, and the ensuing division it causes, spells the end of any genuinely democratic system. Any system built upon the Aquarian spirit of facilitating scientific enquiry, political reasonableness and a notion of shared interests appears perilously under threat at this lunation.

    The hypnotic deployment of undermining propaganda, the widening of the opposing stances between the ‘rulers’ and ‘followers’; the worsening corruption of social reality; and the militant attempts to gradually quash all channels of public political discourse sets humanity up toward the path of extreme Big Brother authoritarianism. Indeed, it is a road that Orwell, one of the 20th century’s most prophetic philosophers, spelt out very clearly for us less than 100 years ago…

    Fortunately, and we must say this with the greatest respect to the auguries blessed upon us by the stars, the human race has the capacity to respond to crises in ways that are uniquely creative. Yes, these next few months, with Pluto squaring Eris, will be among the darkest as we either learn to evolve or be vanquished under the evolutionary process. This must be the way, for no transformation can be complete without the “dark night of the soul”. Something is merging us all together, passing us all through a monumental upgrade (mind, body, spirit), ensuring that the way we think, feel and act – both within ourselves and towards one another starts to resonate less from a place of survival-fear and more from a place of love and acceptance.

    Blessings to you all, and may you have an amazing Full Moon xx"

    The Cosmic Buzz
    8/16/21
    https://angstoic.com/2021/08/an-invi...e-cosmic-buzz/

    "Thanks to you, and billions of other living souls, our HUMANKIND has subconsciously entered its most intense evolutionary chapter. We are now at the critical, third-quarter phase of a cannibalistic cycle that began around 1756, when the seed for the expansionistic acquisition over indigenous lands by elitist rulers and their "god" meant the colonisation of all things by a parasitic evil host who knows no end but to possess and dominate over everything in nature.

    As PLUTO engages his last partile square with ERIS, the threat of widespread extinction intensifies too. Without any sense of the intrinsic absurdity of their undertaking, our planet's 'rulers' have produced the existence of a degraded class of humans whose hope for a free, classless society seem dangerously near to being decisively abandoned.

    As we can probably sense, the stakes for humanity's survival are high now. Since the Great Conjunction (Jupiter/Saturn) on the December Solstice of 2020, and as PLUTO nears AQUARIUS, we've seen the notion that egalitarian purposes could be served by the stratification of concentrated power and privilege in the hands of an upwardly mobilising, ruling elite - the "billionaire class", betraying a fundamental misunderstanding of what evolutionary scientists call "natural selection", or "the survival of the fittest.

    Those of you following my work on the "Cosmic Bus" over these past few years may understand that our species, alongside all others, is now undergoing a most crucial step in its evolutionary process. That something massively transformative is happening here is undeniable - it has been developing for years(since 2011-12). But does the redundancy of old traditions, religions, roles, jobs and other socio-economic systems lead us closer to extinction, or does the crucible of this wholesale, earth-bound transfiguration promise all species a deliverance towards truly universal love and light?"


    VENUS IN LIBRA
    August 17, 2021
    https://angstoic.com/2021/08/venus-in-libra-2/

    "Sometimes we need to see how just superficial things are in order to pull inwards and explore the wealth and power, found only in the depths of our own, inner black hole. We need something to show us just how trite and meaninglessly insipid everything can be…

    Enter Venus in Libra.



    When superficial rhetoric and shallow, ideological edicts weary you, they can sicken you so much that the only recourse is to crawl into an abyss in order to get some respite.

    Constant exposure to monolinear media narratives and an increasingly vapid sense of public discourse is ultimately funnelling our shared reality-tunnel in ways that are not conducive to anyone achieving their soul purpose and true calling. Yes, society has totally ‘lost the plot’. Slavishly following anything you hear makes less and less sense to a spiritually aware being, even if it’s made with polite efforts, just to ‘get along’.

    VENUS precedes the Sun and Mercury, being last to set (Evening Star), and thus leaving us with a lingering question each night: “What is this all worth?”

    She will remain in this cardinal/air sign until September 11, and although her objective is to restore balance, peace and some aesthetic value, there will be many challenges, specifically leading into early September due to her refusal to address the ugly side of the PLUTO/ERIS square – global toxicity that is now doing its best to poison the minds of everyone who is struggling to maintain some sanity.

    There’s no ‘political’ way out of this. It’s the politics, the policies, the police and the polis that are the problem. When all this fails, all civility collapses, the next phase is…




    SUN’S yod to NEPTUNE/PLUTO

    August 18, 2021
    https://angstoic.com/2021/08/suns-yod-to-neptune-pluto/



    'There are two fundamentally opposed realities, two different modes of experience; that each is of ultimate importance in bringing about the recognisably human world; and that their difference is rooted in the bihemispheric structure of the brain. It follows that the hemispheres need to co-operate, but I believe they are in fact involved in a sort of power struggle, and that this explains many aspects of contemporary Western culture.

    Things change according to the stance we adopt towards them, the type of attention we pay to them, the disposition we hold in relation to them. This is important because the most fundamental difference between the hemispheres lies in the type of attention they give to the world. But it’s also important because of the widespread assumption in some quarters that there are two alternatives: either things exist ‘out there’ and are unaltered by the machinery we use to dig them up, or to tear them apart (naïve realism, scientific materialism); or they are subjective phenomena which we create out of our own minds, and therefore we are free to treat them in any way we wish, since they are after all, our own creations (naïve idealism, post-modernism). These positions are not by any means as far apart as they look, and a certain lack of respect is evident in both.

    In the past, this tendency was counterbalanced by forces from outside the enclosed system of the self-conscious mind; apart from the history incarnated in our culture, and the natural world itself, from both of which we are increasingly alienated, these were principally the embodied nature of our existence, the arts and religion. In our time each of these has been subverted and the routes of escape from the virtual world have been closed off. An increasingly mechanistic, fragmented, decontextualised world, marked by unwarranted optimism mixed with paranoia and a feeling of emptiness, has come about, reflecting, I believe, the unopposed action of a dysfunctional left hemisphere. I will have some concluding thoughts about what, if anything, we can do – or need not to do – about it.

    My quarrel is only with an excessive and misplaced rationalism which has never been subjected to the judgment of reason, and is in conflict with it. I hope it will not be necessary for me to emphasise, too, that I am in no sense opposed to science, which, like its sister arts, is the offspring of both hemispheres – only to a narrow materialism, which is not intrinsic to science at all. Science is neither more nor less than patient and detailed attention to the world, and is integral to our understanding of it and of ourselves.'

    ~ Iain McGilchrist. “The Master and His Emissary: The Divided Brain and the Making of the Western World.”



    What we call the “supernatural” are the deeply buried, yet unexplored regions of our minds (NEPTUNE & PLUTO) – alternative dimensions brought into consciousness, or revelation, by our capacity to be “in the moment” (URANUS). The Sun’s formation of the ‘yod’ to NE/PL, now opposing JUPITER, is an awareness that the two ‘sides’ of our processing need to come into alignment – that the reason we are split into two has perhaps more to do with our disembodiment between the cool, rational, linear mind and the warm, swirling, abstract realms of our being.

    Observe what is going on in the world, and who is “right” and who is “left” and the erroneous ways in which we cling divisively to who is “right” and “wrong”. Observe too how those who were dogmatically ‘correct’ yesterday are being exposed today as merely naive fools (to themselves and everything they hoped to gain).

    When we deny art, religion, mysticism and all other areas which spawn from the symbolic language of our liminal, collective unconscious, we create a frightful imbalance in our lives – a kind of ‘unnecessary left-brain cruelty’, as I call it. It’s time to look towards restoring some balance…


    'When we look at our embodied selves, we look back into the past. But that past is no more dead than we are. The past is something we perform every living day, here and now. That other founding father of psychoanalysis, Jung, was acutely aware of this, and surmised that much of our mental life, like our bodies, has ancient origins:'~ Iain McGilchrist. "

    …this lack of absolutism affects the way we need to understand the data. A finding can be perfectly valid, and even of the greatest significance overall, and yet admit of contrary findings. The average temperatures in Iceland and Indonesia are clearly very different, which goes a long way to explain the wholly different characteristics of the vegetation, animal life, landscape, culture and economy of these two regions, as well as no doubt much else that differentiates their ‘feel’ and the ways of life there.

    But it is still true that the lowest average annual temperature in Indonesia is lower than the highest average annual temperature in Iceland – and of course the average temperature varies considerably from month to month, as well as, less predictably, from day to day, and indeed from place to place within each region. The nature of generalisations is that they are approximate, but they are nonetheless of critical importance for understanding what is going on. A misplaced need for certainty may stop the process altogether.

    This also implies that generalisations can never be rules. As far as the hemispheres go, there is almost certainly nothing that is confined entirely to one or the other. I want to stress that, because I really do not wish to encourage simplistic dichotomising… '

    MERCURY conjuncts MARS in Virgo

    8/19/21
    https://angstoic.com/2021/08/mercury...mars-in-virgo/



    "When MERCURY conjuncts MARS in Virgo, the mind cuts every which way, and one is practically able to argue the question or analyse the point from every angle to achieve the desired result.



    Anger arises when things are observed to not be working as functionally and efficiently as one might wish, and the trine to URANUS, now stationing to retrograde in Taurus, stirring matters relating to profit or cost-cutting means into an abrupt frenzy. Several things appear to be coming to a head towards this second Aquarian Full Moon (Sunday). For those wanting some “freedom”, “liberty”, “democracy” and all those other Uranean/Aquarian buzzwords – just know that it ain’t gonna come without conflicts and friction – so get set to ‘fight for your right’, whether you feel like it or not, because someone’s about to fight for theirs all over you…

    'Those who profess to favour freedom and yet depreciate agitation are people who want crops without ploughing the ground; they want rain without thunder and lightning; they want the ocean without the roar of its many waters. The struggle may be a moral one, or it may be a physical one, or it may be both. But it must be a struggle. Power concedes nothing without a demand. It never did and it never will.'
    ~ Frederick Douglass

    As usual with Virgo – and I have to keep reiterating this – there is a tendency to go the full purge & flush the baby down with the bathwater – a thing Virgo often regrets when she withdraws or cuts herself off. A reminder to those about to commit social hari-kari, you are not an isolated unit – you’re a member of the human race. It takes more than a tree to make a forest, and god knows we need every tree to pull in here and breathe some oxygen back into this.

    On a socio-political level, this primal mob-mentality energy can be rallied toward extreme fascistic political ends. Totalitarians and bully-buddies right and left summon it directly when they become angrily vocal of purges, inoculations, ethnic cleansing, racial purity, and eliminating traitors in our midst.

    #ᴀᴤᴛʀᴏʟᴏɢʏØʄɴᴏᴡ ☿ ☌ ♂ △ ♅ S℞



    MARS in VIRGO


    MARS in VIRGO can be an all-around do-gooder. For all his self-discipline, strong work ethic, technical aptitude and unselfishness, he is sometimes seen as pushy, with definite ideas about what’s generally good or bad for others – particularly those he cares about."


    SUN opposes JUPITER
    August 20, 2021
    https://angstoic.com/2021/08/sun-opposes-jupiter/



    "As the Leo SUN opposes JUPITER, be encouraged that there are indeed some brave souls out among us – those who can venture out and cut through all the hype, the nonsense, lies and corruption and call out the truth in terms that you can recognize, accept and understand.

    These individuals speak for you. They restore hope and faith. They’re there if you care to look. Find them; learn from them; show them your undivided admiration, honour and respect for daring to be true."

    Symbols of the Reconstruction: FULL MOON at 29°37′ AQUARIUS – Sunday, Aug 22 2021, 12:03 UTC

    https://app.getresponse.com/view.htm...hv4&z=EzysVyU&

    "Greetings Fellow Travellers,

    At the height of this Full Moon, our primal energies pull apart. There is an incongruency between the will and the emotions; an instinctive urge to pull away from the source, often reflected in our relationships.

    The Leonine will is strong, authoritative and certain about what it wants, a quality that is automatically offputting to the Aquarian Moon, whose instinct for humanitarian sharing and collectivism are amplified in this event by the conjunction with Jupiter. Here, in Aquarius, the great benefic god lends a tremendous boost to all things ‘noble’ and ‘good’, which to the proud, entitled Leo Sun amounts to nothing but a bunch of group-imposed rectitude and distastefully arrogant mob morality. Scuffles and protests ensue, as this is the second lunation to present these themes in the past month, due to their happening at the critical (anaretic) first and last degrees of these outgoing fixed signs. Two successive lunations in the same sign are often trying to drive a point home, in case we don’t get it. I converted this at length in my article last month (see Symbols of Inequity – FULL MOON at 01°26′ AQUARIUS)

    There isn’t much one can do to taint or tarnish the shimmering magnificence of Sol in his sign of dignity. We can learn to compromise. Regardless of the collective weight and gravity of Jupiter and Saturn, now retrograding in the sign of group consciousness, the Sun in Leo dominates. He will have his way, and whilst he must learn to respect the proletariat point of view, there is something in all of us that bows to those who hold firmly to their intent to remain unchangeable and unmitigatedly true to the spirit and integrity of their enterprise. Squares to Uranus in Taurus have also complicated the unrest and sudden twists of fortune in the kingdoms.

    When we look at our world today, we see the stark disparity and social dissociation between the object of our attention and its inability to fall into line with the group pressure and dogma. We both marvel and disdain at the individual’s insistence to stand away from the pack and remain as its own, empirical entity. The recent opposition to Saturn has brought much curse and judgement upon the Leo Sun.



    Yet Leo remains unbroken, triumphantly singular. His strong individualistic tendencies refuse to succumb to even the harshest admonishments and constraints imposed upon him by the herd morality. Leo reminds us to always stand boldly in our integrity; maintain the flame; the inner source of our abundant creativity and self-esteem. It is, in essence, who we are, and of course, we become offended when this light is denigrated or insulted.

    For our interest and preservation during these times of rapid reform and social reconstruction, we will do best if we pay mind to the context of the prevailing group ideals and ideologies. Here, we are invited to honour every individual’s right to stand in their own sovereign beauty and magnificence too, for this is what drives our interest in one another and in the truest collective sense, develops the society of folks with whom and among we want to live."

    FUNKY POISONS WITH DESIGN TO BEFOUL
    August 24, 2021
    https://angstoic.com/2021/08/funky-p...ign-to-befoul/



    "‘FUNKY POISONS WITH DESIGN TO BEFOUL mind/body/soul dissolve much more than trust in the relationship’. A caution to all, esp. you ‘sensitives’ out there.

    (Be mindful, not fearful)

    If unsure, I wouldn’t consume or assume anything I heard, sampled, ingested or sipped like it wasn’t tainted, just for good measure – THIS WARNING disregard at your peril.



    A punctilious-minded MERCURY, still in Virgo and aggravated by his recent conjunction to machine-driven MARS is about to oppose an increasingly odious and undermining NEPTUNE. I feel I should warn here that things may get funky and dank over the next 24 hours, especially since the Pisces Moon will soon fuse with Neptune.

    It is the first sign of the kind of grim hysterics and social weakenings we are about to experience throughout Sep-Oct, as irritable SATURN Rx now comes within a degree of his closing semisquare to Neptune Rx. Here, the mind-moods tend us towards exasperation and despair, and while we may suspect that we are indeed being sucked down the sullied quagmire of greater and great incapacitation, it is important not to foolishly put ourselves in harm’s way.

    Meanwhile, URANUS will now join all other outer bodies (Jupiter, Saturn, Chiron, Neptune, Pluto & Eris) in retrograde, meaning that we will not be covering any new ground until at least Jan 2022. Retreading and rehashing much of what we’ve seen so far this year should be ‘interesting’ since it wasn’t that much fun the first time around.

    URANUS stationing this past week or so has been like an icepick to the third eye – a revolting twist to our perceived ‘freedoms’ and ability to stand on our own earth. Take note of any profound revelations, insights and awakenings that may be pouring into your mind – they certainly will be rocking the socioeconomic stability of your world, and you will probably be feeling their disruptive effects until you are finally granted some grand release/liberation/realization when Uranus returns to pass this point (and form semisquare Jupiter) in mid-May 2022…

    Maintaining Mental Health: THIRD QUARTER MOON REPORT at 07°09′ GEMINI
    Monday, August 30
    https://angstoic.com/2021/08/maintai...day-august-30/


    "The course of discussions and debate takes a turn this week since the greater themes posed to us by heavy transits, like the lugubrious Saturn/Neptune semi-square and the species-pulverising Pluto/Eris square are already starting to show serious effects upon the health and well-being of many in the general population. To say that humanity is undergoing some grim and disorienting times is without question, but if the end result is to transform our species – the way it thinks, lives and breathes – then this becomes a week when we perhaps start to question a lot more than merely our own survival and start thinking about the greater consequences of current actions.

    Monday’s third-quarter Moon is a super mental event since both the Virgo Sun vs Gemini Moon are ruled by MERCURY – that restlessly giddy god who controls all communication and the intellect. Whilst these two signs may have a lot in common, in truth, Gemini and Virgo don’t get along so easily because the earthy Virgo is way too practical and efficient for the flighty, loquacious Gemini. Disagreements arise where there appears to be a continuing need to articulate our latest, often ingenious, thoughts as well as brilliant ideas. However cleverly we may use our intelligence to rationalise our troubles and woes, we are forced under this lunation to try to keep emotions under control so we can avoid getting hurt because, for the most part, we are sensitive and vulnerable to the thoughts and ideas from others.



    That said, this Gemini third-quarter Moon will be hovering over the North Node, making discussion especially important if we are to maintain some semblance of sanity. This can be a neurotic time for many souls with mental problems or who struggle making decisions or focusing their minds on serious, life-determining decisions. The proximity of this quarter-moon to the wicked PLUTO/ERIS square might appear to suck the psychic life force out of us, even if the discussion we must have is of critical importance. For instance, you may find any debate so off-putting that it only causes you anguish or disgust.

    The main problem under this mutable lunation could be that you lack serious incentive to make a solid commitment to accept any singular fact; with a dark tendency to grimly dismiss others’ views as inconsistent, incomplete, nonsensical or to blame them for being confused, dull or plain stupid and misinformed. With MARS in Virgo opposing NEPTUNE, we must be mindful not to go too hard on those who just don’t get our best intentions to ‘help out’, and vice versa. If you can’t find it in you to show some empathy and compassion for what you see is an earnest attempt to assist, then the best recourse is to gently excuse yourself and walk away. So mercurial is the spirit of this occasion that it is especially prone to leave us filled with restless discontentment and a sense of spiritual dissatisfaction that anything going on is ever going to reach a solution.

    Yet we must try to engage somehow, for the Gemini North Node is trying to create opportunities where we can come to the table and at least listen to one another’s ideas.

    Look out for those who are acting especially critical, surly, sulky, irritable and too quick to find fault. With PLUTO/ERIS in the mix, the root causes of their mental anguish are devastatingly deep, complex, and largely obscured. Everyone is trying to survive, and some may be so desperately close to the edge that they’re virtually beyond recovery. People are prone to react in immensely extreme and even violent ways. It is best to stay out of harm’s way. Leave the extremists alone and focus on honing your own ideas in a more centred, balanced way.

    This energy is manifested in the greater world, with violent natural disasters, as well as increasingly draconian approaches to solving the bigger biotech and sociopolitical problems plaguing our earth. Those who can remain reasonably open and discerningly practical in their problem-solving approach will benefit most, mainly by being able to hold it together in the face of conflicting information.

    If you’re dispelling anyone’s opinion and ‘doing your own research’, you may be at risk of ‘downloading’ way more data than you can possibly process, hence being left incapable of applying it in any practical manner. Only chew on what you’re mind and body are capable of actually digesting. Glutting on ideas might seem cool, but your sources may be too scattered or too sketchy to validate and use. Whilst you may claim to know a little bit about every subject on earth, any voracious data-grazing could lead to simply garnering a superficial grasp of any particular subject. In any case, trying to explain it to others with a know-it-all attitude, often to those who could care less, could leave you feeling exasperated and worn out.

    It is important to take note of precisely where you tend to bore and lose others by spruiking your specially-concocted spiel on all the latest ‘hot topics’ (politics, law, medicine and civil liberties, etc). Watch too how some narratives (even from ‘official’ sources) are reaching the point of droning you down because they have either shut down your critical thinking or not allowed you to question them.

    HINT: in essence, nobody truly cares what anyone thinks anymore. It might appear that we each have our own set of ideas and beliefs, ones which even we ourselves can barely understand, let alone argue out with others in any convincing manner. We must avoid the Sadge SN trap of preaching ‘our truth’ as the definitive gospel. We should have learned by now, in the closing phases of this nodal axis transit in Gem/Sadge that, at best, we’re probably swimming alone in that abyss of endless confusion. Be assured, that the less we force the argument, the greater our chances of allowing the ‘ultimate truth’ to express itself. Nature has her way of revealing herself to us, if only we stop trying to contort and violate her higher, immutable laws.

    OK, so the best thing to do under this moon is to try to muster a clearer sense of direction for yourself, tidy up your act a little and if you must genuinely know more about things that interest you, then conduct a careful study of books (not merely youtube vids) – books – written by the masters and irrefutable authorities on the topic. And keep reading; gather real knowledge, make lots of detailed notes, organise and file them in places you can easily access later – they’ll come in handy in as early as a week from now (at the Virgo New Moon) when you will need to form a definite and specific plan on how best to tackle the enormous responsibility that lies ahead for you (along with every single other human on this earth). These are some serious times here, and we ain’t fooling. Most of all, take tender care of your health, especially your mental health during this week.

    I’ll be back to do a cosmic bus lunation report at the end of the week, along with a whole bunch of fresh horoscope readings. In the meantime try and keep it light, because hey, someone needs to.

    Blessings, and have an amazing week xx "
