We are currently moving to a Full Moon at 17 degrees Capricorn (exact at 9:07 p.m. PDT on July 8), tightly conjunct Lord of the Underworld Pluto Rx at 18 degrees.

Issues of institutional power, control, and violence (Pluto in Capricorn) in relation to the public (Moon) are coming to a head.

This includes overt physical violence, but it also includes more hidden and insidious (Pluto) forms, including the intentional economic violence being brought down that is hurting and killing people en masse on Planet Earth. 

The G20 Summit - the closed-door meeting of the facade leaders of the wealthiest countries on the planet - is occurring in Hamburg, Germany this weekend (July 7 - 8), just as the Moon reaches its peak, conjunct Pluto.

It's very doubtful that this is a coincidence.

The G20 Summit held June 26 - 27, 2010 in and around Toronto, Canada was also planned to coincide with a Capricorn Full Moon conjunct Pluto. That particular Plutonic Full Moon was a partial lunar eclipse, falling within a remarkably potent cardinal t-square (Jupiter-Uranus in Aries, Sun-Mercury-Juno-South Node in Cancer, Moon-Pluto-North Node in Capricorn). Saturn in late Virgo made the blisteringly powerful formation a Grand Cross. From March 23, 2010, "Summer 2010 Eclipse Season: G8, G20 and Martial Law A-Plenty."

In the days preceding the meetings, there was both an earthquake (extremely rare) and a tornado that hit close to the lake country where the Global Governors were staying at the time. From June 24, 2010, "Cardinal T-Square Eclipse: Dicey at Best." This indicated some geoengineering hijinx, as well.

The astrological framework laid out in the patron article is, without doubt, being tapped and utilized by the current powers-that-be. (And I would certainly hate to carry the soulmark of being a hired astrologer helping these yahoos to plot their vicious schemes...)

The epic police-state force of 20,000 officers - all with various weapons at their disposal - has been unleashed on the estimated 100,000 protesters in Germany. The police set a highly aggressive tone right off the jump, unloading a water cannon on a peaceful dance party on July 5, injuring five people. Water cannons may sound fairly innocuous. They aren't. They can severely injure people, picking them up and throwing them many feet. They can also put people's eyes out and have in the past. 

They are trying to normalize these headlines: "Police Use Water Cannon to Break Up Protest."

But this should never become normal to us.  

In the days following, it has been reported that 160 police officers have been injured in clashes with protesters. I'm certainly very sorry to hear this, and I truly hate to see anyone being injured. But I do have to ask: how many protesters have been injured by police? Why are those numbers not as important to report in mainstream media channels? And how many of these "clashes" could have been avoided with less aggressive policing tactics/stances?

Remember, at this moment, it is still legal to assemble and protest.

The focus continues to be on "Black Bloc" protesters, who generally have an agenda to create property damage, not human injuries.

These groups often throw bottles and stones to try to drive police out of the area of the protests. (Generally, police are in full riot gear with shields and are protected from this barrage.)

It is also well-known that police forces embed agents provocateur into protests and into groups like the Black Bloc in order to incite more violence and illegal acts. An instance where police were caught red-handed on this front occurred in Montebello, Quebec in 2007. Police officer agents provocateur implanted to stir the shit were captured on video by legitimate protesters at the Security and Prosperity Partnership (SPP) meetings involving Stephen Harper, George Bush, and Felipe Calderon. The agents provocateur were picking up rocks and being aggressive. They were called out by protesters and then dove into the police line. At that point, it was visible that the aggressive "protesters" are wearing police boots - the same boots worn by the police officers. The Quebec police even admitted to the incident.

If you have ever been to one of these protests, you would know that only a small percentage of protesters are non-peaceful, and again, most of that non-peaceful element is intent on a display of anti-capitalist property damage, not human injury.

But because of the aggressive tactics of the Black Bloc (some of whom are undoubtedly plants), the media is now able to paint all protesters - all 100,000 of them - as potentially armed thugs, which then justifies excessive police force and brutality against protesters in the minds of the public.

"Well, if they weren't doing anything wrong, they wouldn't get sprayed/gassed/injured/locked up."

This is very dangerous (and false) thinking, but it is the type of thinking being manufactured in the minds of the public by the current media narrative.

I can provide a firsthand account that peaceful protesters who are doing nothing wrong are gassed, pepper sprayed, and sprayed with water cannons for no legitimate reason. This has become a regular occurrence. And again, this has become a normalized thing in the minds of many, and that sets a very dangerous stage. 

These major summit protests have been going on since the 90s, but there has been an inching forward in the increase of force and weaponry used by police each year. 

I've written about this in previous articles, including this one from the G20 protests in Toronto, Ontario, Canada in 2010:

From June 3, 2010, "Staying Safe in Toronto During the G20 Summit."

I've also written about the escalation of weaponry - including energy weapons - being brought in to use against (predominantly peaceful) protesters:

From August 25, 2014, "The Age of Aquarius: a New Era of Energy Weaponry Used Against the People."

Suffice it to say, this Full Moon in the sign of its detriment conjunct laying-shit-bare Pluto is not exactly sugar and spice and all things nice. But its energy can certainly be used to position ourselves successfully from a strategic perspective, bringing us into control of our emotional and psychological domains.  

Stay safe, friends. But don't turn a blind eye to the unjustified violence being brought down upon us during these times. This is both overt physical violence and insidious economic and money-related violence. There are very good reasons for the 100,000 people protesting in the streets of Hamburg right now. They represent hundreds of millions more voices of dissent, opposed to the violent and inhumane schemes being orchestrated from behind those closed doors.

Venus Retrograde 2017: Reviving Relationships and Social Scenes By Releasing Old Ghosts

...The Venus retrograde in Aries in 2001 coincided with the Free Trade Area of the Americas (FTAA) anti-globalization protest in Quebec City that I took part in, driving day-and-night in a 15-passenger van and car caravan with other protesters from Saskatchewan. The meetings and protests occurred just as Venus stationed direct at 1 degree Aries and involved joining together with others (Venus) to fight for our rights and for our survival (Aries). It was quite an exciting and social time, joining 50,000 other protesters from many different locations, groups, and backgrounds. 

The powers-that-be had learned a few things since massive protests shut down the World Trade Organization meetings in Seattle, Washington in 1999 (coined the “Battle in Seattle”). The FTAA protest was the first with a ten-foot riot police-guarded chain-link fence erected around the convention centre to segregate the mucky-mucks who were meeting behind closed doors to decide our fates.

Though marching and protesting peacefully, we were tear gassed and CS gassed terribly as we stood around the fence. The air was absolutely thick with it for hours on end, day and night. Do-it-yourself medics traveled around with water bottles, rinsing the eyes of protesters who had been overcome by pepper spray powder, which was also being used. I managed to step in a mound of it myself and was temporarily blinded by it. The gratitude I felt for the DIY medic who rinsed my eyes and restored my vision was pretty well immense. Other protesters gave out bandanas soaked in apple cider vinegar so we could breathe through the gas. (Many of us stood our ground all day and well into the night.) The self-organization and the helpful spirit behind it were refreshing to experience. 

We were also sprayed with a water cannon filled with a chemical mixture that burned the skin on contact. Water cannons are hugely dangerous because of the intense water pressure and have caused severe injuries to protesters in the past, including putting people’s eyes out. Some protesters were shot with rubber bullets, which are not as innocuous as they may sound. My friend was one of them and had a huge red welt at the impact point. These can be deadly if they hit a person in the wrong spot.

In a fit of hilarious poetic justice, so much chemical weaponry was unleashed against the protesters in Quebec City that it blew back into the convention centre and shut down the meetings!

This time around as Venus prepares for retrograde motion through the sign of the warrior, we are in another volatile period, with a catalyzing event taking place January 20: the swearing in of Donald Trump as President of the United States of America. (Sounds like a joke...but isn't.) We are now near the end of the Uranus in Aries – Pluto in Capricorn square, a period associated historically with the rise of violent global fascism and totalitarianism, along with mass slaughter, surveillance, and imprisonment by the state. Stalin and Hitler are two of the figureheads associated with this period of time (mid-to-late 1930s), but there were also many lesser known characters of equal nastiness embedded in high-ranking positions in governments, business, and finance throughout the world. 

Under current conditions, increased clashes between activists (especially young activists) and the police state can be expected. However, I would advise extreme caution, as I did ahead of the G20 protests in Toronto, Ontario in late June 2010. The militarized police tactics used against protesters have become even more brutal and dangerous, now including the use of Long Range Acoustic Devices (LRADs). These are energy weapons, previously used only in warfare, that emit a high-pitched, ear-splitting sound that can deafen a person, cause inner ear damage, stop a pacemaker, or cause an aneurysm. LRADs were rolled out for the first time in Canada at the G20 protests in Toronto in 2010, appearing a year earlier in the U.S. at the G20 protests in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania in September 2009.

Mass arrests and overblown charges and prison sentences are also being used to intimidate protesters. Over 1,000 protesters were arrested (and often beaten/injured) at the G20 protests in Toronto in 2010. Undercover police officers infiltrated activist groups, arresting participants and charging them with things that could involve lengthy prison sentences – all for the crime of organizing a protest.

The initial “stepping up” of militarized police tactics against protesters at the 2010 G20 protests in Toronto occurred with the Uranus in Aries – Pluto in Capricorn square in its earliest stages. Jupiter (expansion, everything made bigger) was also in Aries at the time, conjunct Uranus at zero degrees Aries and square Pluto at 4 degrees Capricorn. A cardinal t-square was formed on the weekend of the G20 meetings with the Sun and Mercury in early Cancer. A call (Mercury) for safety, care, and protection (Cancer) in the face of violent and dangerous police state insanity that unleashed new and deadly technology (Jupiter-Uranus in Aries square Pluto in Capricorn).

As we move into another tension-filled time with militarized police on high alert, we must understand the long history of shared struggle against fascist/authoritarian forces and not become impatient or reckless - definite possibilities with Venus in detriment in Aries. Forcing confrontations with militarized police forces is often not worth the risk, more theatrical or symbolic than concretely productive. We must learn from the past experiences of others so that we do not make the same mistakes moving forward.

The Age of Aquarius: a New Era of Energy Weaponry Used Against the People

A sonic weapon referred to as a Long Range Acoustic Device (LRAD) was unleashed on a crowd of peaceful protesters in Ferguson, Missouri by the St. Louis County Police Department in mid-August 2014.

Demonstrations and marches by citizens have been ongoing in Ferguson and across the United States in protest of the death of 18-year-old Michael Brown, an unarmed African American boy who was shot six times by Ferguson police officer Darren Wilson on August 9. The final shot, the shot that killed Brown, was to the head. Eyewitnesses say Brown's hands were in the air and he was attempting to surrender to Wilson just before he was shot to death.

The use of this sonic weapon by police against peaceful protesters in Ferguson is just the latest assault from a new arsenal of technological weapons designed for an era of energy warfare.

The piercing tone of an LRAD can cause permanent damage and even death to those assaulted by it.

Crowd Control with Long Range Acoustic Devices Can Cause Permanent Hearing Loss from the U.S. Academy of Doctors of Audiology:

"Long Range Acoustic Devices (LRADs) may be used as close range sonic weapons against U.S. citizens as a form of non-lethal crowd control and dispersion. These sonic weapons are capable of inflicting severe, debilitating, permanent harm on U.S. citizens in the form of irreversible hearing loss, tinnitus, vestibular dysfunction, and barotrauma.

Weaponized use of LRADs or other acoustic hailing devices against U.S. citizens should be banned and deemed a violation of 14th Amendment rights, prosecutable by law.

The Academy of Doctors of Audiology calls on Congress to restrict the use of these devices on protestors exercising their lawful First Amendment rights."

From a June 3, 2010 Willow's Web Astrology article, "Staying Safe in Toronto During the G20 Summit":

"From Lyn Davignon of the National Non Profit Party:

"This type of weapon disrupts the central nervous system, causes aneurisms, stroke, heart attack, blood clots, damages the eye retina causing blindness, causes permanent hearing loss, can cause permanent damage to your equilibrium (balance), and can kill anyone with a pacemaker.

In addition, it can cause structural damage to buildings...Sonic weapons have been used in Iraq by the US military. First tested at the University of Lyon, France in the 1960s, a six second blast of a 50 watt sonic weapon nearly killed the researchers...It caused structural damage to the building and was deemed to dangerous to continue testing.""

Amongst much "Age of Aquarius" rhetoric about technology being used to improve the lives of the common people, energy weapons are being rolled out and used by Global Government forces against peaceful protesters and citizens in unprecedented ways.

Aquarius is a sign associated with science and technology. It is symbolized by two waves of current or electricity. As we move further into the astrological Aquarian era, tied to the precession of the equinoxes, we can expect unprecedented technological advances and discoveries, including in the form of energy weaponry.

The use of this energy weaponry in warfare and to maintain control over the public will be well established by the time Lord of the Underworld Pluto transits the sign of Aquarius (2023 to 2043). The fight to liberate technological advances and discoveries (as well as energy itself) for the collective good of humanity will be equally strong Pluto in Aquarius themes.

Energy weapons now at the disposal of the global police state (rising throughout the Pluto in Capricorn years 2008 - 2023) include tasers, electromagnetic frequency, and sonic weapons like LRADs.

Cardinal T-Square Eclipse: Dicey at Best

Well.

Yesterday, I had a really nice time talking with Robert Phoenix on his Free Association Radio show. Check it out in his archives if you missed it yesterday. We talked a lot about what is going down in Toronto this weekend - the G20 Summit involving $1.2 billion spent on security complete with sound/energy weaponry to be used against citizens.

I live in a country of about 30 million people. A $1.2 billion show of force around a 72-hour meeting of the "Global Governors" paid for by tax dollars? Pretty insane. Extremely insane.

While Robert and I were on the air yesterday, there was a 5.0 magnitude earthquake that shook Ontario and Quebec, including Toronto.

(Canadian humour aside: the best post-earthquake quote I heard was: "In Toronto, the aftershock was that Toronto wasn't the epicentre.")

Then later last night, a tornado hit Midland, Ontario destroying more than 70 homes, several businesses and throwing them into an emergency state.

There were some injuries, but thankfully no one was killed in either the earthquake or the tornado.

Midland is about 80 kilometres southwest of Huntsville, Ontario - Ontario cottage country where the major player Global Governors will be meeting this weekend for the G8.

I have a hard time believing the timing and location of these events could be purely coincidental.

During this past week, heavy rainfall caused major flooding in widespread areas of Saskatchewan and Alberta. Basements are flooded, crops are drowned and a major highway has been washed out. In the area where I'm from in Saskatchewan, they got between four and seven inches of rain in one day. Even the old timers can't remember that happening before.

This is following an abnormally wet spring where farmers couldn't even get their crops in in many cases. Now, many of the the crops that were seeded have been drowned or hailed out after this storm.

This is the breadbasket of Canada - and elsewhere. Over five million hectares could not be seeded, and this does not count the number of hectares that are now drowned or hailed out. Rural areas have declared themselves agricultural disaster zones. This means farmers and their families are now facing the loss of an entire year's income. In an industry of insanely high input costs, if they can't somehow stay afloat, it will more than likely mean the loss of their farms and their ways of life - not to mention the loss of farmers, which we can't afford to lose.

The primary industries, people. They're our backbone. I know people have become completely disconnected from where food comes from. (The supermarket?) But it's the toil of these farm families that keeps food on our plates.

Like fishing, another primary industry that has just been horrifically attacked, these are vocations that are often handed down from generation to generation. The wisdom comes through the lineage. Sons and daughters learn from their parents and grandparents who learned from their parents and grandparents before them. This knowledge is gleaned and refined over generations, always changing and adapting to the prevailing conditions. Far from the stereotype of the dumb farmer, anyone who is successful in this way of life these days is highly skilled, intelligent, adaptive and resilient.

I cannot overstate the importance of continuing the family farming heritage - for all of us.

Farmers have been played big time over the years, worn down by the constant ups and downs of the market. High input costs. Low commodity prices. The effects of the manipulations on weather. Ineffective government program after ineffective government program, designed to get them caught up in bureaucratic red tape, often putting more of their own money into complying with the terms than they ever see in return.

Basic, staple goods should not be being toyed with in the highly manipulated rollercoaster stock market. Number-shifting suits in office buildings should not be lining their pockets by intentionally screwing with the lives and work of farm families. If family farmers are crushed, that leaves our food supply wide open for agri-business corporations with their genetically modified, highly chemicalized "food" production. All part of that plan.

So it's important.

The Sun in Cancer opposes Pluto in Capricorn tomorrow (12:55 p.m. Mountain), locking us into full-on cardinal t-square/eclipse energy. Mercury enters Cancer early tomorrow morning (4:32 a.m.), bringing our minds and what we're talking about fully into it, as well.

The Moon enters Capricorn tomorrow evening (8:21 p.m.), and the Full Moon eclipse is in full swing tomorrow night. The Moon will be exactly full at 5:32 a.m. Saturday morning, just a little over an hour after it conjuncts Pluto Rx at 4 degrees Capricorn.

The police and military take their positions.

The G8 leaders start to nestle into Ontario cottage country. And the G20 players hide away behind those fences in Toronto, driven in in a fleet of black luxury vehicles complete with high security police escorts. The cavalcade.

And we're the alternative cavalcade - working in the spaces between those squares. Rocking, shifting, doing anything to stop the lightning-fast fusing. Wiggling, wiggling and working within the confined Virgo spaces we have to work with. Reaching together for the alternative to the plan that has been laid out for us by the Global Governors.

I've written an extensive post on the astrology of this weekend:

Summer 2010 Eclipse Season: G8, G20 and Martial Law A-Plenty

I've also written quite a lot about the LRADs, including a post on how to stay safe in Toronto this weekend:

Staying Safe in Toronto During the G20 Summit

The announcement that Toronto city police have purchased four Long Range Acoustic Devices (LRADs) means Canada will now follow the United States' lead with the use of sound/energy weaponry against demonstrators. LRADs were used against protesters in Pittsburgh in September at the previous G20 Summit.

These weapons are highly dangerous, especially for energetically sensitive people, and should be avoided completely. Ear plugs or industrial hearing protection can help, but at a close enough range, I'm not sure even that will be enough to stop the effects of these things.

They're softening things by calling these LRADs "communication tools." Communication tools that can cause permanent hearing loss and inner ear damage, blood clots, aneurisms and can stop a pacemaker? The sound emitted is also being compared to the sound of a jet - sorry, but a jet was not purposefully designed to emit a frequency destructive to human beings.

From Lyn Davignon of the National Non Profit Party:

"This type of weapon disrupts the central nervous system, causes aneurisms, stroke, heart attack, blood clots, damages the eye retina causing blindness, causes permanent hearing loss, can cause permanent damage to your equilibrium (balance), and can kill anyone with a pacemaker.

In addition, it can cause structural damage to buildings...Sonic weapons have been used in Iraq by the US military. First tested at the University of Lyon, France in the 1960s, a six second blast of a 50 watt sonic weapon nearly killed the researchers...It caused structural damage to the building and was deemed to dangerous to continue testing."

Demonstrators can already expect massive police and military presence - to the tune of $930 million worth. This is almost ten times the original budget for security. Things have gone from insane to insaner. CS gas, pepper spray, water cannons filled with chemicals, rubber bullets - these are all to be expected and will be used on peaceful demonstrators. I was on the receiving end of these tactics at the Free Trade Area of the Americas protest in Quebec City in 2001, and it's not fun. They can have ill effects on your health and should be avoided. CS gas, in particular, contains organo-compounds that react with hormone levels, resulting in spontaneous menstruation. Very creepy.

Combined with the LRADs, this makes for a dicey scene, indeed.

I've written about the astrology of this weekend, and the energies call for strong caution and due care and attention to personal safety and well-being. Crowds can be stirred quite easily with the Pluto-infused tension of the eclipse/cardinal t-square energies. Emotions could be manipulated here, so be aware of your surroundings and the energetic undercurrents. Follow your own instincts - not the movements of the crowd.

Agents provocateur will be most likely be implanted in crowds to incite aggression and property damage, justifying police and military crack-down.

Police officer agents provocateur implanted to stir the shit were captured on video by legitimate protesters in Montebello, Quebec in 2007 at protests of the Security and Prosperity Partnership meetings involving Stephen Harper, George Bush and Felipe Calderon. The agent provocateurs were picking up rocks and being aggressive. They were called out by protesters and then dove into the police line. At that point, it is visible that the "protesters" are wearing police boots - the same boots worn by police officers.

There's a fine line between voicing your dissent and putting yourself in harm's way. Anyone in Toronto or Huntsville this summer, please be very careful and use your discretion.

Here is a list of events going on around the city from g20.torontomobilize.org:

SCHEDULE OF EVENTS

The events are rated as far as expected police presence. One star means police presence will be light. Three stars means it will be heavy.

One of the safest events is the People's Summit going on at Ryerson University the weekend before the actual Summit. (June 18-20) This is civil society's alternative counter summit to the G8/G20 and will include community organizers, activists, non-governmental organizations, independent media, workers, impacted communities and artists. The people.

But for those who would like to demonstrate during the G8/G20 meetings (June 25-27), those events are listed, also.

There are also resources for activists on the site.

I'm praying for calm and for everyone to stay safe while holding a loving force and a loving presence in the face of this fascism. Please make that the number one goal here and do not let your passions be manipulated. We're so much stronger than they. The love cannot be broken. Stay aware, and stay safe.

In solidarity.

Saturn Goes Direct in Virgo and We're on the Home Stretch, Beautiful Babies

Saturn is about to turn direct (12:08 p.m. Mountain), marking its last sweep through Virgo for almost 30 years. We've completed four of five Saturn oppositions to Uranus with one remaining in the zero degrees of cardinal Aries and Libra July 26.

For more on this, here's a previous post I wrote when Saturn first retrograded back into Virgo.

Saturn turning direct in Virgo is currently showing us a pattern, as well. Those nutty, nutty Bilderbergers are about to meet again in Spain (June 3-6), and you'll recall that they met last year just as Saturn was turning direct in Virgo, as well. Last year's meeting took place May 14-16 in Athens, Greece. Hmm, Greece you say...

This year's meeting takes place in Spain, which is apparently the next country that will need the "services" of this group and their International Monetary Fund.

Saturn going direct is a potent time period for agenda-setting, and one of the agendas being set by those crazy, fun-loving B-bergers will be the docket for next month's G8 and G20 meetings, going on simultaneously in Ontario, Canada on June 26 and 27.

The G20 meeting, involving the world's 20 wealthiest countries now self-appointed as worldwide overlords of economic policy, is the smokescreen. This meeting is being held in Canada's largest city - Toronto, Ontario - inviting massive crowds of demonstrators. The police presence is going to be huge and disgusting - theatrical, really. But also fucking frightening. Our NWO lapboy Stephen Harper is taking his orders.

Over one billion Canadian taxpayer dollars are being used to set up martial law in southern Ontario next month. Thousands and thousands of police officers and soldiers will be enforcing the secrecy of the "Global Governors," who are meeting behind fences, outside public knowledge or consent. The exact number of police/military is not known, but over 5,500 hotel rooms have been booked to house them.

Peacefully demonstrating citizens have gotten used to being gassed, pepper sprayed and hit with rubber bullets. This doesn't even shock anyone anymore. But now, Canada follows the United States' lead with the introduction of energy/sound weapons.

The Toronto City Police has purchased four Long Range Acoustic Devices (LRADs) to unleash on the protesters. Yep. We're not just renting these bad boys for the occasion. We're not just borrowing from our neighbours to the south like we would a cup of sugar or a snowblower. The Toronto police have locked them in. They will now be a regular part of policing in Canada. They've slid them into the public consciousness slick as shit.

T.O. police spokesperson Wendy Drummond: “They were purchased as part of the G20 budget process,” Drummond said. “It’s definitely going to be beneficial for us, not only in the G20 but in any future large gatherings.”

Yes, lots of fun for parties and gatherings of all kinds!

They're softening things by calling these LRADs "communication tools." Communication tools that can cause permanent hearing loss and inner ear damage, blood clots, aneurisms and can stop a pacemaker? The sound emitted is also being compared to the sound of a jet - sorry, but a jet was not purposefully designed to emit a frequency destructive to human beings.

From Lyn Davignon of the National Non Profit Party:

"This type of weapon disrupts the central nervous system, causes aneurisms, stroke, heart attack, blood clots, damages the eye retina causing blindness, causes permanent hearing loss, can cause permanent damage to your equilibrium (balance), and can kill anyone with a pacemaker.

In addition, it can cause structural damage to buildings...Sonic weapons have been used in Iraq by the US military. First tested at the University of Lyon, France in the 1960s, a six second blast of a 50 watt sonic weapon nearly killed the researchers...It caused structural damage to the building and was deemed to dangerous to continue testing."

The fun never stops.

The real power players, though - the leaders of the G8 countries - will be much more tucked away in cottage-country Huntsville, Ontario, away from the crowds of demonstrators. This is where the orders are really locked into place and the Pluto in Capricorn agendas fused.

The G8/G20 meetings have been set to coincide with the uber potent Full Moon Capricorn eclipse exactly conjunct Pluto in Capricorn on June 26. This eclipse takes place within the cardinal t-square formation, and the potential for this energy to be used in completely nasty, lock-down totalitarian ways by these so-called leaders is high.

There's not much I can do to sugar-coat this - nor is that my role. There's no need to curl up in the fetal position and cry ourselves to sleep over it, but I mean, the astrology is the astrology. You can check it out for yourselves: Summer 2010 Eclipse Season: G8, G20, and Martial Law A-Plenty.

I noticed someone posted an excerpt from my post on an Astrodienst message board. The person then said she hoped someone else could provide a more "positive" take on things.

Hmm...

A positive take on fascism. A positive take on the destructive worldwide agenda of the Global Governors. A positive take on martial law in Ontario, Canada, gassing and sound wave attacking demonstrators. A positive take on agent provacateurs being implanted to incite violence and justify police crack-down.

The only thing I can come up with here is that things could possibly be getting so Pluto in Cappie extreme, so increasingly brutal and harsh, that people will no longer be able to bury their heads in the sand. They'll have to start to look at what is going on in the world around them.

At the same time, I know how strong the powers of denial, willful ignorance and complacency are in the human population - especially among the NA positivity-pushers. I know how easily people swallow the mainstream media line that it's just the police and military doing their jobs, keeping those evil anarchists in line. Keeping the people "safe."

The only real empowerment here, with Pluto so strongly involved, is to face it. To dig a little deeper than the mainstream line and look at what's really going on. When you do that, the power it has over you is instantly mitigated, instantly released.

Maintaining our emotional comfort and health is crucial here, also - but it's equally important to bring this stuff to light in the public consciousness. Here's the required balance:

At the time that Saturn goes direct in Virgo, the Moon in Capricorn is exactly conjunct the North Node at 12 Capricorn. Venus in Cancer is exactly conjunct the South Node.

There is a highly intricate interplay of energies here along this nodal axis, requiring all our mastery.

Overall, we need to keep plowing forward, keep making concrete progress, keep putting one foot in front of the other, out of the Pluto in Capricorn rubble. This is the North Node path - the path out.

At the same time, we need our resting places, our feel-good spaces. We need the connection to hearth and home, to family and friends and other people who get it. We need to take rejuvenating time out for ourselves, when we can protectively sequester ourselves in our little cocoons. These are our touch-points, and they assist us greatly with that Capricorn North Node path. We just can't stay hunkered down there.

Go too far out on a North Node in Capricorn limb, and we emotionally crash and burn. Go too far into the past and into old emotional habits and comforts and patterns, and you'll get sucked in, drained and will lose your momentum.

The nodal axis always relates to soul-level guidance, but with the Moon exactly conjunct the North Node, the importance of our emotional cues are intensified.

We need to maintain emotional continuity here, moving forward out of the wreckage. We need to keep our emotional anchors strongly connected to that which sustains us now. These are tough times to move through emotionally, and we need the right balance. This will become even more important the further into the summer we get, when Saturn re-enters Libra for over two years.

There's a quote I remember from a sociologist. The guy says something about us having the responsibility to take on as much conscious awareness as we can stand. That sounds a little harsh, but I think it's valid - especially in these times.

So the balance here is to be aware of what we know we need to be aware of, to do what we can with that awareness, but to never go past our saturation point, especially emotionally.

When you're full to the brim with the Plutonic dirty dealings, please go look at some cute kitty videos on YouTube or stare into a flower in the park.

Summer 2010 Eclipse Season: G8, G20 and Martial Law A-Plenty

I keep having my attention drawn to the upcoming eclipse season (June - July 2010), and when I draw up the chart for the Full Moon partial lunar eclipse in Capricorn on June 26, I see that it's being drawn for good reason.

This eclipse chart is almost unbelievable in its potency. It's unnerving, considering the energy and events related to the past two eclipse seasons along the Cancer-Capricorn polarity.

And considering the G20 Summit (you know, that unelected "global government" body put in charge of all world economic issues under martial law in September of last year) has been scheduled to coincide with this eclipse in Toronto, Ontario, Canada on June 26-27, 2010. Still think astrology is a bunch of mumbo-jumbo? Your pseudo-elected officials don't think so.

I missed this at the time (since it was announced one day before I became poisoned by Cipro), but the G20 meeting in Toronto will be happening at the same time as the G8 meeting in Huntsville, Ontario, Canada. How's that for Pluto in Capricorn agenda-merging and obscurity from the public? Now they can call martial law into southern Ontario for just one week this summer (maybe) to get their behind-closed-doors agendas passed. A logistical breeze!

The National Post is reporting that the "Integrated Security Unit" (more Pluto in Cap) policing the event will need 5,500 hotel rooms over nine days (June 20 through 28) for members of the Royal Canadian Mounted Police, the Ontario Provincial Police, Toronto city police and Canadian Armed Forces. Yep, they're calling in the army on this one. The official number of police and soldiers involved will not be released prior to the event, but according to this report, the accommodation costs alone could be over $8 million.

This is what a police state looks like.

And under the proposed "Security and Prosperity Partnership," the United States' armed forces and police could be called into Canada to enforce events such as these...or anything, really. Only a matter of time? Let's hope not.

Anyway, the June 26 eclipse chart is the classic kind of chart that an astrologer would caution people about. The Moon is currently in Cancer, briefly creating the cardinal t-square dynamics so prevalent this summer and beyond, so here's the cautionary post...

This is not meant to scare anyone, but those who read this blog regularly have more than likely already figured out for themselves that humanity has entered some pretty dicey territory. We're in very strong spiritual territory, as well, but let's not forget the practical realities of what is going on right under our noses.

Pluto entering the early degrees of Capricorn has coincided with many a bomb (Pluto) going off in our business and government structures (Capricorn), bringing to light grand-scale corruption, manipulation, criminality and greed. The best interests of the people are not in the driver's seat here. We had the collapse of the rotten-to-the-core world economy - right on schedule - brought about primarily through predatory mortgage/derivatives schemes, speculation bubbles and various pyramid schemes built on nothing but the hot air of the sales schmos selling them.

Pluto in Sagittarius was ripe for corruption related to big ideas (Sagittarius), no matter how excessively grandiose and detached from common sense practical reality, and when times are ripe for people to take advantage of the situation, there has never been a shortage of those who line up to do so.

So the dominoes were set with inflationary Pluto in Sagittarius, and once Pluto entered Capricorn, the first one was flicked. Plutonic chain reaction.

This triggered the shedding of multi-millions of jobs, now considered unnecessary for the increasingly stream-lined corporate machine. People's lives have been devastated and their emotional well-being is on very shaky ground. Let's not forget this - though the stories of "economic recovery" parroted in a constant loop through the mainstream media are attempting to make us do just that. Those who missed the culling this time around are most certainly being lulled into a false sense of security.

In the ensuing chaos, those desiring pyramid-scheme one world government and corporate oligarchy have driven hard to the net. The mergers and alliances have gone on with Uranian lightning speed, completely obscured from the traumatized public, just trying to be OK with life.

So let's just say that the orchestrated circumstances on this planet are stretching people pretty damned tight - to the breaking point and, unfortunately, beyond.

It turns out the Nazis didn't really lose that war, after all. That was just for show as they retreated, changed tactics and then embedded their armies and ideologies in the day-to-day.

Now, they're tightening the vice ever-so-slowly, and even the people still "safely" in their positions within the system are starting to sweat - if only because they are now expected to do the work of two or three people and to be grateful to do it.

Those attuned to the underlying dynamics have always known things weren't right. We could feel it.

But the majority of people couldn't define the word tyranny, let alone understand how it has permeated their daily lives. To them, this is the territory of paranoids, conspiracy theorists and other assorted wack jobs.

But I see it so clearly. I grew up in a rural farming/ranching and oil area. This is still what people are doing to "make a living" - though I'm not sure how much of a life it is anymore. Farming and ranching have gotten increasingly corporatized and chemicalized. Small farmers have been pushed out of business en masse. Getting bigger and faster, they are told, is the only way to survive if you're playing ball in the corporate system. It's ironic that people who wanted to live a life on the land as their own bosses are now completely caught up in the chemicals, massive, computerized machinery and genetically modified organisms of Agri-business.

Or then you have the people pulling in the real money - those working in the soul-eroding oil fields. And who could blame them, really? We've all had it drilled into our heads since childhood to get that money, no matter what. And they have. Generations have leapt ahead dramatically in the class system - from below the poverty line to comfortably middle class, complete with new homes, new vehicles, campers, snow machines, Harleys, quads. Even the kids have their own quads, dirt bikes, snowmobiles.

So seeing these scenes, reading on Facebook about their home renovations and trips to the Dominican, again I wonder...am I seeing things?

It's very possible all this epic-ness is going down without even ruffling the feathers of the norms. But seeing the eclipse chart, I'm not sure that will be the case post-summer of 2010.

The Full Moon lunar eclipse in Capricorn on June 26 happens at 4 degrees, exactly conjunct retrograding Pluto - Lord of the Underworld, the Great Transformer.

This takes place within a massively potent, almost-exact cardinal t-square at the early degrees - the same t-square that will remain potent during the cardinal seasons with Uranus in Aries and Pluto in Capricorn for the next decade.

(This cardinal t-square involves almost every body in the zodiac: Jupiter-Uranus in Aries, Sun-Mercury-Juno-South Node in Cancer, Moon-Pluto-North Node in Capricorn)

If you include Saturn retrograde in late Virgo as the fourth leg in the eclipse chart, it's a Grand Cross. Two oppositions. Four squares. Mucho tension.

So Pluto will be exactly conjunct the Moon. Heavy emotion. In Calgary, these bodies will also be exactly conjunct the Part of Fortune and the Part of Spirit - very fated quality to this eclipse for the city that Big Oil built.

This exact Pluto-Moon conjunction is opposite the Sun in Cancer, which is conjunct Mercury and Juno.

The nodal axis is also within range at 11 degrees, as the North Node moves ever-closer to a conjunction with Pluto in November, just one degree off this eclipse at 3 degrees Capricorn. (November is another potent month, but more on that later...)

Jupiter and Uranus are within two degrees of each other in warrior sign Aries, forming the almost-exact t-square.

Jupiter will have just conjuncted Uranus June 8, dramatically increasing the disruptive potential of Uranus in this eclipse/t-square. Uranus is the planet that brings shocking, unexpected events that leave things forever changed. Events that trigger rebellions, revolutions, radical movement.

So we have this great disruptive potential with Uranus on the very potent zero degree of Aries, a sign ruled by Mars which relates to, among other things, masculine energy, war, anger and aggression. And this energy is made bigger and more expansive post-conjunction to Jupiter, which makes everything it touches broader-reaching. Squaring Pluto in Capricorn, which is known for traumatic, hell-ride experiences designed for complete personal and collective gutting and transformation (ie. not good times). Along with the extra disruptive potential of an eclipse going down exactly conjunct Pluto. Sounds like fun, huh? :-) Very, very volatile.

Martial law in Ontario, Canada with surrounding areas on high alert.

We don't need another Kent or Jackson State this summer, so let's hold our intent for the safety of the protesters and urge the utmost caution with the demonstrations. No uneccessary risks. Mars will be exactly conjunct Vesta in Virgo, so temperance is key. Again, not something you would associate with Mars, but here, we must apply it.

We've also got Chiron at zero Pisces conjunct Black Moon Lilith - so here's that denied, vilified, segmented, feminine spiritual aspect of human life on Earth and the deep wounding we carry because of its enforced invisibility and abuse. Here's the perspective the protesters will be bringing to the scene, speaking out about the destruction and devastation of these enforced agendas. They'll be kept marginalized by fences and police, far from the negotiating tables (BML), but their energy will not go to waste.

The difficult role of these two is the equivalent of telling an oil exec clutching his inflated paycheque about the spiritual and soul-level destruction being caused by the oil industry, for example. He'd laugh you out of town, if not punch you. Or warning a Monsanto executive about the damage chemical and GMO farming are doing to the entire ecosystem, the animals, the people, the spiritual and physical health of the whole. The complete affront to nature. Again, not heeded, and more often, ridiculed and criminalized.

Chiron-BML in early Pisces is a powerful placement here. The Goddess weeps in this chart, but her depth and strength presiding over the proceedings are undeniable. Chiron-BML will be in tight trine to the Sun-Mercury in Cancer and sextile the Moon-Pluto in Capricorn. The feminine is righteous here, and she knows it.

These themes go on every day, in every way, and those who truly respect and heed feminine wisdom and live Piscean spiritual understanding carry a big burden for a collective that prefers to look the other way. You can't really explain it to people who don't understand. And then you have to watch as they continue the destruction...

The Sabian symbols associated with the eclipse also tell a cautionary tale:

Sun in Cancer - "At a Railroad Crossing, An Automobile is Wrecked By a Train"
Mercury in Cancer - "An Arctic Explorer Leads a Reindeer Through Icy Canyons"
Moon and Pluto in Capricorn - "Indians - Some Rowing a Canoe While Others Are Dancing a War Dance"
Chiron in Pisces - "A Crowded Public Marketplace"
Black Moon Lilith in Pisces: "Heavy Car Traffic Linking Two Seaside Resorts"

These are powerfully fated, grand-scale collective dynamics going on. Nothing is going to stop these energies from doing what they need to do, so it's best to go with the path of least resistance this summer, sidestepping as much of it as possible. Being caught at cross-purposes with an aggressive Grand Cross of this nature would not be a good thing. Be aware that people and situations are going to be pulled very taut at this time and the smallest of provocations could trigger volatility.

We're in a cardinal season now - Aries - and what is triggered now is lead-up to this summer's cardinal season - Cancer.

As a series, this definitely relates to the summer of 2009 triple eclipses/double New Moons in Cancer. (The eclipses were in Capricorn-Cancer-Aquarius.) That was an extremely emotional set of eclipses (I think we now understand why) that unhinged and uprooted things in a big way related to past-present-future and the gut-wrenching necessity of finding new soul homes and new emotional anchors within the burgeoning Aquarian paradigm.

The second set of eclipses on New Year's Eve, 2009 and January 15, 2010 coincided with the devastating earthquake in Haiti that left at least 200,000 people dead, possibly as many as 500,000, and a couple million more homeless.

Now, the summer of 2010 is the third set of Cancer/Capricorn eclipses, and there are more big shake-ups possible.

The energy and events kicked up by this third set of Cancer/Capricorn eclipses should have the effect of shifting us into new positions and settling us on new foundations, in a much different set of circumstances than we've been in previously. These shake-ups will click the initial positioning at the beginning of the cardinal degrees into place.

The old situations (emotional, physical, spiritual) have been shattered by the process intensified by the previous eclipses, and now the puzzle pieces are back together to the point that we can start to make out a picture. A potent starting point for the events of the next decade on this planet - for both people living for true freedom and autonomy and those paying lip service to that while attempting to lock nefarious Pluto in Capricorn agendas into place. This is why our actions and the directions we take are so important now.

In such tight formation, the energies associated will be working with surgeon-like precision, carving out the placements. There's no room for error now. Again, this chart has an extremely fated quality to it, soemthing you do not want to be at cross-purposes with. If any of your plans meet resistance, please take heed.

The follow-up New Moon solar eclipse in Cancer happens July 11, and it is total.

Sandwiched between both these eclipses we have Canada Day (July 1) and Independence Day (July 4) in the United States. Both these countries are Cancer Suns, and these eclipses are, unfortunately, probably going to coincide with a final push toward merger - without public knowledge or consent.

And as previously noted (big surprise!), the upcoming meeting of the G20 will be held June 26-27 in Ontario, Canada, alongside the G8 meeting. If I recall correctly, the original date of these summits was actually changed to land on this weekend.

So you can see the agendas within the agendas here.

Let's just keep our fingers crossed that the extremes we've been experiencing with Pluto in Capricorn and the Cancer/Capricorn eclipses have stirred the people into taking a stand and creating an alternative, rather than heading full-on into unelected one world government structures and corporate compliance.

All this and Sarah Palin's getting a reality TV show. Jesus.

Happy Sun in Sagittarius! Leaving the Energetic Hangover From the First Saturn-Pluto Square

The Sun is passing through the 29th degree of Scorpio today. By tonight, the Moon will be out of Capricorn and into Aquarius, and the Sun will enter Sagittarius.

Yippee ki-yay, cow patty!

This is good news because it means we are moving out of the energetic hangover of the first Saturn in Libra - Pluto in Capricorn square and the coinciding New Moon in Scorpio amidst that big old stellium in Scorp. The related pressure and the hold of any stirred-up fears should ease now...

Scorpio and Capricorn, along with Saturn and Pluto, are heavy hitters. They don't mess around. We dug in deep over the past week, and some long-embedded detritus was spun off as Saturn squared Pluto and the cardinal structural shifts started to get their legs under them. The Capricornian/Saturnine structures started to move according to new agendas, often under as much obscurity from the public as possible.

There are still plenty of dark and dirty allegiances, hidden motivations and obscured manoevres going on behind the scenes, beneath the surface-level handshakes and photo-ops. We still have work to do to bring what's REALLY going on to the surface and to conscious mainstream awareness.

I can feel it - the corruption. And how deeply it really goes. How complex it is and how many twisted corridors it really involves. It's overwhelming at times, as most people continue to swallow the official line or bury their heads in Aquarian/New Age rhetoric. Even the supposed alternatives to the official line have been co-opted and filled with disinformation on many fronts.

Yes, we've only just begun with this aspect, and we've got a Saturn retrograde to go over it all - January 13 to May 30, 2010. There are two more exact squares of Saturn and Pluto to get it all straight, and we're in range of the square for the next 11-ish months. Unrelenting, baby!

One situation that is so very fitting for these energies is the shift to the "new world order" through the usurping of the G8 group of nations by the G20. The G20 nations took the reins in September in Pittsburgh, becoming a self-imposed world government body in charge of economic issues. And this was done, of course, behind closed doors, guarded by fences and thousands of riot cops and amidst almost complete public ignorance. Never has any of this been up for debate by the public in any country. Do most people even know that the World Bank or International Monetary Fund exist? I think no.

It's yet another blatant example of the disconnect between pseudo-elected governments and real, informed public will. These governments, merged with corporate interests to such an extent that they are almost indistinguishable from each other, have an agenda of their own that (to them) supercedes the best interests and will of the public. There is no informed consent here...just consent manufactured through media manipulation, the police state and the drone of their supposed "experts," lulling the public to sleep with tales of economic growth through global harmonization and "co-ordination."

Well, I, for one, don't want to be co-ordinated into your grand plans, you twisted bastards!

They're the worst kind of middle management imaginable. With corresponding delusions of grandeur, of course.

The most recent G20 Summit happened as the Sun in Libra squared Pluto in Capricorn. And now, as Saturn in Libra moves back and forth over that square to Pluto, the figureheads work to solidify this arrangement and get moving with their One World Goverment agenda. They've got less than a year to make their big manoevres, consolidate power at the top of their man-made hierarchies and fuse agendas - as the public is still reeling from the orchestrated economic collapse.

And they're not wasting any time.

The next G20 meeting is scheduled for June 25-27, 2010 in Huntsville, Ontario, Canada, just as Saturn is back up to full speed in Virgo after its retrograde. (Although, there is apparently some debate about moving the meeting to Toronto?)

The G8 meeting will be held simultaneously, and this is being called a symbolic hand-off of power - although the public has been told the G8 will continue as a decision-making body regarding security issues and such. Isn't it funny how this brand of power follows the money? How those supposedly "in charge" of the economic issues suddenly rise to the very top of the hierarchy.

Seoul, Korea, led by President Lee Myung-bak, will then hold yet another G20 Summit in November, 2010.

Implementing the new agendas and imposing the new power players/structures with blistering speed - layering meeting after meeting, crowding the media and allowing for much less public attention on each individual event.

There is no way the public can really dig in to what is going on here on this timeframe and with so little transparency and education on the issues. As I wrote in September's G20 post, the lack of transparency, accountability and public awareness is all very Pluto in Capricorn purposeful. Plutonically merging the activities of bodies of power, consolidating the power and creating as much murkiness and obscurity as possible about the decisions being made behind closed doors.

Using the same strategy, the United Nations General Assembly in New York City went on at the same time as the G20 Summit in Pittsburgh.

Anyway, the Saturn-Pluto series of squares is definitely the backdrop for the next year. You can understand the weight of these times and how important it is to remain aware of what is going on as these new structures and power agendas work to draw everyone into their world-wide pyramid schemes.

But going back to the good news of the day - the Sun is entering Sagittarius tonight, and we start to experience the warmth, faith and optimism that sign has to offer. A very welcome shift at the end of Scorp season! Sagittarius puts a lit candle in the window to guide us, and we start to come in out of the dark...

The Sun's transit through Sagittarius is interesting, also, because Jupiter in Aquarius becomes its dispositor - a strong layer of influence on our day-to-day conscious awareness. Jupiter is in formation in the Aquarius triple conjunction and will conjunct and pass in the zodiac Chiron (December 7) and then Neptune (December 21 - Winter Solstice) before entering Pisces mid-January, 2010. A more extensive post on that is here: Status Update on the Aquarius Triple Conjunction

These Jupiter conjunctions have a nice healing, spiritually-connected feel. A time when our faith can be renewed related to the times we're living through and the change we're working on for humanity. (Well, the change some of us are working on, anyway.) There is reassurance here that the sometimes hellish struggle is worth it and that we're making headway, even when we can't see it in front of us. We're in this together, connected always to those who share our struggle, and these aspects can renew our strength and our faith in what we're doing here. We can feel, even in our darkest moments, that we are not alone, that we are loved and assisted, that there is a candle burning in the window for us...

There is a theme of truth with Sagittarius. Doesn't it seem that getting to the truth about the issues of the day is a full-time job these days? More than full-time. Propaganda after propoganda to wade through.

But Sagittarius also affirms within us the fact that real truth, laid bare, is inalterable. That no matter what wrongs are committed, what injustices are covered up, what corruption is seemingly gotten away with...the truth of what is good and right and high-minded always rises above. It sustains through time. Nothing can ever truly whitewash it or rub it out, no matter how dedicated an effort to do so, because it's one of those things that we carry with us in our hearts and souls.

So soak up all you can and fortify yourselves with the Sagittarius energy (Mercury is also in the sign until December 5) because we're heading to a Mercury Retrograde in Capricorn (December 26 - January 15) that will retro right back to within two degrees of Pluto in Capricorn and the square to Libra! haha

This New Year is going to have a serious undertone, but as always, it's better to know this stuff than to be swept up unaware...

Right? RIGHT??! heehee Just kidding. Of COURSE it is.
