It’s somewhat difficult to write an article like this, as I know my own “spiritual anarchist” ways are not necessarily shared by others, and it’s hard not to offend people these days by sharing differing perspectives. We all have different beliefs, but the transit of Jupiter in Pisces will, with luck, highlight the common ground that exists even among very different backgrounds and faiths. As always, I can only write this article in my own language, from my own perspective, but please translate it (and all articles) through your own lens of understanding and know that I don’t mean to offend anyone with any of the things written here. I never intentionally mean to offend - unless you’re a noxious internet troll just begging for it. Heh 

Cosmic Spotlight planet Jupiter dips into earliest Pisces from May 13 to July 28, 2021, and this sets an energy and tone for the rest of the transit in 2022. Jupiter will retrograde back into Aquarius from July 28 to December 28, 2021, and the bulk of the Jupiter in Pisces action will occur from late December 2021 through early May 2022 [with a final dip into the sign from October 27 to December 20, 2022 to end the year]. 

A Re-Post: Parallels Between the Aquarius Stellium of February 1962 and the Aquarius Stellium of February 2021

As we enter 2021, the major astrological event on the horizon is a six-planet or seven-body stellium in Aquarius, including a New Moon at 23 degrees Aquarius on February 11. The energy of this stellium stretches to mid-March.

 

During the stellium, we will experience the first of three squares between Saturn in Aquarius and Uranus in Taurus. The first square will be exact on February 17 at 7 degrees of the signs.  

What follows is a re-post of an article that was written last Aquarius season [2020] for the anniversary of a February 4, 1962 New Moon total solar eclipse within seven-planet stellium in Aquarius. That astrological event was, at the time, heralded as the official beginning of the Aquarian Age. 

The article outlines some of the parallels between the two periods - the Aquarius stellium and New Moon in 1962 and the Aquarius stellium and New Moon in 2021.

A December 8, 2020 patron article outlines these connections further, extending them to the next large Aquarius stellium in 2080: 

The Aquarius Stellium of 2021 as the Centre of a Continuum: Drawing on Ripples from 60 Years in the Past and Sending Ripples 60 Years into the Future.

We're halfway through the first Aquarius season of this new decade, but the Aquarius season really drawing my attention at the moment comes in 2021 when we experience a 23-degree New Moon in Aquarius within a historic six-planet stellium that occurs with benefic planets Venus and Jupiter exactly conjunct at 12 degrees.

We start moving to that Aquarian high point at spring equinox of 2020, as Saturn ingresses Aquarius on March 21, 2020 for an initial stint in the sign that will last three-and-a-half months. The Saturn ingress is part of a broader Aquarian infusion that will be experienced between 2020 and 2023 as Saturn, then Jupiter, and finally Pluto ingress the sign of the water-bearer.

As part of that Aquarian infusion, we will experience a historic conjunction of Jupiter and Saturn at zero degrees Aquarius on December 21, 2020 (winter solstice), followed by the Aquarius New Moon at 23 degrees on February 11, 2021 within six-planet stellium (Sun, Moon, Mercury Rx, Venus, Jupiter, and Saturn, along with asteroid Pallas Athene). As stated, benefic planets Venus and Jupiter will be exactly conjunct in Aquarius on the day of the New Moon, indicating an entry point into a powerful period of social, cultural, and philosophical change.

The six-planet stellium in Aquarius in February 2021 has parallels to a seven-planet stellium in Aquarius experienced in February 1962 that was heralded as the official beginning of the Aquarian Age. 

We are in the early years of a new decade now, as we were then, that will involve explosive social, cultural, and technological growth and change. The Aquarius stellium in 1962 included a New Moon total solar eclipse at 15 degrees Aquarius, marking a simultaneous anchoring point and launch point for the major cultural shifts experienced during the 1960s. We can view the New Moon and six-planet stellium in Aquarius in February 2021 as a similar anchoring/launching point for major cultural and societal changes in the 2020s. 

Technocratic Authoritarianism Spreading Around the World as Pre-Cursor to the Pluto in Aquarius Years: Increased Use of Energy Weapons Against the People

Reports and video are coming in from various locations showing the increased authoritarian use of energy weapons against the people. Tasers have been used extensively on people for even the slightest of "infractions" since this global psychological operative began in early 2020. An attempt is being made to create a sense of normalcy in the public around the use of energy weapons on "dissenters." This manufactured sense of normalcy is social engineering, a pre-cursor to the Pluto in Aquarius years (2023 - 2044) when control, domination, and abuse will be attempted via technological and energy-based means.

Let's be very clear: authoritarian abuse, torture, and control via energy weapons is neither normal nor justified.

This horrifying video is from November 2020 in Sabadell, Spain. The woman has been identified only as Paula.

"A young woman in Sabadell, Spain is tased after trying to bring her mother to a psychologist’s appointment.

This violated the clinic’s policies on patients bringing people with them to appointments due to COVID-19, and they called the police."

This equally horrifying video is from Logan, Ohio, United States from September 2020. The tasing incident starts at 9:35 of this video.

"Wednesday afternoon Alecia Kitts was tased and arrested by a policeman while watching her son play a football game in Logan, Ohio. The video of this incident was taken by Tiffany Lynn Kennedy with her cellphone. I am so disgusted that a woman would be treated this way because she wouldn't wear a mask. Alecia Kitts had asthma, and was not able to wear a mask."

Tasers are classified as non-lethal weapons, but this does not mean they are safe or that they will not cause serious injury or death. It just means that their use brings less of a risk of death than the use of lethal weapons.

It's impossible to know how many people have been killed by tasers since they started being used by police forces worldwide. In 2017, Reuters reported 1,005 deaths in the United States alone that involved the use of tasers. This statistic, of course, represents only officially known and reported cases. 

False Heroes, Fake Rebels, and Pseudo-Alternatives in the Astrological Aquarian Era

I'm not sure when you will be reading this - maybe it will be a few years from now or even a few decades. With Saturn now leading the grand-scale shift into the Aquarian Era, our communication has to take on a future-oriented tone. We're building toward a preferable future vision on this planet, toward a free humanity, but we don't know when this vision will be materialized. 

We're under increasingly authoritarian rule on Planet Earth. They call it many things, including the New World Order, the Global Government, One World Government, Global Fascism, the Globalists, and the power elite, among others. 

The groups in the pyramid caps have millions of civilian foot-soldiers doing their dirty work within human society, policing each other, ensuring that top-down protocols are being followed and that no one gets any big ideas about going beyond those protocols.

Let me try to describe the situation for you. In the year 2020, most of the human population has been mesmerized by either mainstream media or pseudo-alternative media or a combination of the two. Our communication channels are being censored and filtered, and false narratives of various kinds are dominating the public discourse. 

The mind control is thick, the implanted thoughts and agendas are many, but most do not see the way their mental synapses and spiritual energy are being hijacked by people and entities who do not have their best interests at heart. 

Our personal power is being hijacked by various schemes within the mainstream political realm, including one where the "White Hats" are working behind the scenes to free us all from tyranny.  Oh, but they first have to bring in tyranny (only temporarily!) in order to save us. "It's all part of the plan. We need to bring in authoritarian hyper-control of your every movement as a cover so we can swoop in behind the scenes and get rid of all the corruption. We're arresting the bad guys and gals as we speak! Be patient. Trust the plan. We have it handled."

Our spiritual power is being hijacked in various ways, as well, including by the New Age pyramid scheme and its slick proponents. "It's all part of the divine plan. It's all part of the Grand Ascension to the 5th Dimension. The mass deaths are simply the Earth shedding an old paradigm, a paradigm we made ourselves by creating our own collective reality! Raise your vibrations! Love and light! The enlightened will not be affected. The dead and dying are simply a necessary purge of old energy."

Or then we have the Christian "wait for Jesus" paradigm. "Revelations is coming true! Jesus is coming back to save us all. All you have to do is pray and be faithful and wait right where you are, and he'll take care of the rest. No resistance or action necessary. All true believers will be saved! Don't concern yourselves with anyone else."

We hear echoes, echoes, echoes throughout the ideological camps. Passivity, deference to "authority figures," and acceptance of the unacceptable as a temporary necessary evil are common denominators in these manipulative, control-based schemes.

Charismatic figureheads are being followed near-blindly straight off a cliff. 

We even have controlled opposition agents "outing" other controlled opposition agents as a way to control the discourse around controlled opposition. Oh, how meta! 

Independent thought, research, and action are a rarity, though these do exist in highly-inspiring pockets. The people who know and who cannot be coerced are very powerful at this time on the planet, and this is why they are being thwarted, attacked, censored, and shut down at every possible turn, including by fellow citizens/community members.

Let me make this very clear: there is a difference between a "Truth-Teller (TM)" and a freedom-fighter. There is a difference between an "enlightened New Age guru shepherding us to the 5th dimension" and a freedom-fighter. There is a difference between a pseudo-alternative commentator or journalist and a freedom-fighter. There is a difference between a high-ranking politician and a freedom-fighter.

If their primary objective isn't to extricate and liberate humanity, body, mind, and spirit, including from them, they are most likely trying to hook you into their construct, into the scheme that is providing their elevated position and status. They may talk the talk of freedom and liberation, but watch how they walk the walk. It most often stands in stark contrast to their words. 

Major Aquarius Ingresses 2020 - 2023: Resisting 5G Technology, Energy Weapons, and the Creation of Digitized Dystopian Hell

We're currently experiencing an orchestrated global pandemic that was designed, in part, to test the control grid of the power establishment. This is a drill. It's a test. It began in earnest as Saturn and Pluto formed a conjunction in Capricorn (exact January 12, 2020 at 22 degrees) to kick off the new year and the new decade. Saturn conjunct Pluto in Capricorn is a symbol related to locked-down hierarchical control, particularly involving infrastructures, institutions, corporations, and finance. 

The power establishment is making sure it has the control-based infrastructure in place and that it's all working smoothly, in lock-step. They're monitoring "compliance levels" in the public and within public agencies while keeping those pesky non-compliants under close observation. They're shoring things up and working to stop any dissenting leaks, particularly information-based leaks.

The power establishment, through centralized Global Government bodies like the United Nations and the World Health Organization, is sending top-down directives to media outlets, institutions, and organizations throughout the world, reaching into our daily lives in unprecedented ways. 

They're flexing. They're disrupting our daily lives, not to mention the mental and emotional health of many of the poor people who are buying into it. They're attempting to show us who's in control, who's boss. (Though they actually never will be in charge, no matter how much Earthy control they appear to have...) They're restricting our movements and exerting control over our daily lives to an unprecedented degree, and this is going on world-wide, in lock-step. 

They don't call it the Global Government for nothing...

I wrote more about the subject in this February 27 article, particularly regarding the "terror of contagion" being created and the necessity to neutralize it.

The panic, terror, and mayhem being generated in the public by the absolute saturation of mass media with this subject have risen to epic peaks during a Mercury retrograde and transit through Pisces and late Aquarius. Mercury has now stationed direct (March 9) and will re-enter Pisces tomorrow night (11:42 p.m. PDT). The panic agenda enters a new phase...

Mercury is the planet related to the media, information, and the mind, and we can quite clearly see elements of contagion, dispersion, illusion, and confusion associated with the sign of Pisces. What is not so clear, what is being intentionally obscured, is the element of technology, as well as the shift into a future where people are being controlled and harmed through technology (Aquarius). 

The roll-out of 5G "super-speed" wireless occurred in Wuhan, China, in October 2019. 5G has also been rolled out in viral hotspot countries South Korea, Italy, Australia, and the United States. 5G was even being used aboard those Princess Cruiseline ships. 

Parallels Between the Aquarius Stellium of February 1962 and the Aquarius Stellium of February 2021

New Moon in Aquarius within six-planet stellium (along with asteroid Pallas Athene) with Venus and Jupiter conjunct - February 11, 2021

We're halfway through the first Aquarius season of this new decade, but the Aquarius season really drawing my attention at the moment comes in 2021 when we experience a 23-degree New Moon in Aquarius within a historic six-planet stellium that occurs with benefic planets Venus and Jupiter exactly conjunct at 12 degrees.

We start moving to that Aquarian high point at spring equinox of 2020, as Saturn ingresses Aquarius on March 21, 2020 for an initial stint in the sign that will last three-and-a-half months. The Saturn ingress is part of a broader Aquarian infusion that will be experienced between 2020 and 2023 as Saturn, then Jupiter, and finally Pluto ingress the sign of the water-bearer.

As part of that Aquarian infusion, we will experience a historic conjunction of Jupiter and Saturn at zero degrees Aquarius on December 21, 2020 (winter solstice), followed by the Aquarius New Moon at 23 degrees on February 11, 2021 within six-planet stellium (Sun, Moon, Mercury Rx, Venus, Jupiter, and Saturn, along with asteroid Pallas Athene). As stated, benefic planets Venus and Jupiter will be exactly conjunct in Aquarius on the day of the New Moon, indicating an entry point into a powerful period of social, cultural, and philosophical change.

The six-planet stellium in Aquarius in February 2021 has parallels to a seven-planet stellium in Aquarius experienced in February 1962 that was heralded as the official beginning of the Aquarian Age. 

We are in the early years of a new decade now, as we were then, that will involve explosive social, cultural, and technological growth and change. The Aquarius stellium in 1962 included a New Moon total solar eclipse at 15 degrees Aquarius, marking a simultaneous anchoring point and launch point for the major cultural shifts experienced during the 1960s. We can view the New Moon and six-planet stellium in Aquarius in February 2021 as a similar anchoring/launching point for major cultural and societal changes in the 2020s.   

Though the impulse toward and desire for better conditions for humanity were real within much of the public in the 1960s, we also saw, during that decade, a strong element of social and cultural engineering, along with the infiltration and co-optation of the true counter-culture. 

On the surface, people were riding the wave of the Grand Humanitarian Future being brought to us (ostensibly) through the peace-and-love hippies, the counter-cultural icons of music, art, and literature, and the grand, inspirational political speeches being broadcast into the shining eyes of television viewers. 

Underneath that Grand Humanitarian Front, however, the same insidious agenda was being furthered through the same insidious power structures.

Uranus in Taurus, Australia's 1,000-Year Fires, and Forced Depopulation of Rural Areas Via Unnatural Disaster

Uranian energy and themes are concentrating at the moment as Uranus prepares to go direct at 2 degrees Taurus on January 10.

The Uranus direct station occurs on the same day as a 20-degree Cancer Full Moon annular eclipse, which falls opposite the massive stellium in Capricorn that is kicking off this new year and new decade on Earth.

I've been reporting in an ongoing way on the programme of geoengineering, weather modification, and (un)natural disaster - all being blamed on that Big Bad Bogeyman "climate change" - that is being unleashed in an effort to destroy agricultural areas and rural infrastructures.

This is being done for a few different reasons. One is the destabilization of food markets, creating crop and food shortages or much more likely the psychological perception of crop and food shortages, which drives speculation and stock market/derivatives schemes. I've reported on this phenomenon in the past, including in this May 26, 2014 article, "Derivatives Schemes Shift from Grain to Cattle, Stock Market Speculation Drives Meat Prices Up Worldwide."

The wild swings in commodity prices make it difficult to farm or ranch from year-to-year, driving food producers into over-extension, lack, or even bankruptcy. When independent farmers and ranchers are no longer able to make a living on the land, this provides the opportunity for Big Agriculture to swoop in, creating further control of the food supply by corporate entities.

On a grander scale, though, the destabilizing and destruction of rural and agricultural areas is part of a concerted plan being brought down worldwide to depopulate rural zones.

Forced urbanization is part of an open plan, called Agenda 21 or Agenda 2030 ("sustainable development"), that has been laid out by the United Nations, one of the central social engineering-based agencies of the global fascist regime.

Under the astrological symbol of Uranus in Taurus (2018 - 2026), waves of trauma and upheaval are being intentionally created to depopulate rural and less urbanized areas and to take control of resources that have been in the hands of the people, particularly land, food, mined materials, and water.

Full Moon in Aquarius Total Lunar Eclipse: Celebrating Our "Weirdness" and Eccentric Fabulousity!

 A groovy-electric Aquarius Full Moon ahead, baby!

The Moon is now growing full, pushing its way to a powerhouse Aquarius Full Moon total lunar eclipse on July 27 (1:20 p.m. PDT) within a tight fixed T-square configuration and a loose Fixed Grand Cross.

This Full Moon total lunar eclipse in Aquarius is the longest eclipse we will experience in the 21st century with a 103-minute totality, and this gives it some extra kick. 

In the icy air sign of Aquarius, also conjunct lunar apogee Black Moon Lilith in late Capricorn, this is a Full Moon eclipse that celebrates the weird and the wonderful. It celebrates the people who don't fit in, who can't go along with the standard protocols, and who lead in order to advance the scene for humanity, even when it means sacrificing personal comfort, professional standing, social acceptance, or financial security. 

This includes people working from outside the system and also people working from within. It's the shared vision for a better future for all on this planet and the willingness to work, always, toward that vision that create the common bond. This common bond and common drive connect us from our often-disparate social positions.

This is a Full Moon that celebrates the fabulousness of being exactly who we are and letting the chips fall where they may.
 

So here's to all the square pegs in round holes out there! 

We've arrived! 

We've achieved! 

We've overcome! 

And damnnnnnn, we're fabulous.

I know it's trendy these days to call yourself "weird." It's become a sort of status symbol to take on an image of carefully-curated eccentricity. 

But to actually be considered one of the "weirdos" of society (even when you don't consider yourself to be weird) is often not a very pleasant thing. The conjunction of this Full Moon to Black Moon Lilith brings in some of these harsher elements. Being considered a "weirdo" or an "ill-fit" by mainstream or pseudo-alternative societies often involves isolation, ostracism, vilification, opposition, and straight-up attacks. It often requires one to forego the comforts and rewards of fitting in - socially, professionally, financially, with family.

This isn't the type of "weird" that involves eating brunch off a shovel, learning to play the ukelele, or wearing ironically outdated eyeglasses.

This is the type of weird that is often dangerous to one's personal well-being.

This isn't carefully-curated eccentricity. 

It's one's natural way of being coming into frictional, sometimes explosive, contact with "the way things are" and with the people who are mostly doing just fine with the way things are.

The Sun Enters Aquarius and Black Moon Lilith Opposes in Leo

Photo: Willow

The Sun entered icy cool Aquarius, the sign of its detriment, on January 19, providing us all with some much-needed  s  p  a  c  e.

The Aquarius Sun is squaring the nodal axis, which completes the transit of Scorpio/Taurus on February 18. At the end of this transit, this is a pretty hot and overloaded little axis.

With the North Node of the Moon in early Scorpio and Saturn in late Scorpio, we're focused very intently and very intensely on some deep-down drama and intrigue - personally, on a planetary level, or both. We're not sure how much longer we can hold this intensity, this X-Ray vision making us aware of every last hidden angle, every last suppressed raw point that could trip us up over the long run.

It's all a bit much.

So we get this objective and coolly-detached Aquarian infusion just in time. The Sun will spend the next month in Aquarius (also until February 18), and we will also experience a Mercury retrograde in the sign of the water-bearer.

The space, distance, and emotional detachment of Aquarius come into sharp contrast with the intensity, intimacy, and dog-on-bone conviction we find with Scorpio. You may recall that our last Mercury retrograde period - highly challenging - occurred in Scorpio (October 21 to November 10, 2013) with Mercury making a series of conjunctions to tough cookie Saturn. During the upcoming Mercury retrograde in early Pisces/Aquarius (February 6 to 28, 2014), Mercury will form a series of tense and dynamic square aspects to Saturn in Scorpio. Over the next couple months, we will have the opportunity - whether we like it or not - to employ an extreme level of mental and emotional detachment with a wide-ranging bird's eye view of the very intense proceedings before us now.

This breezy Aquarian infusion is even more important for "even keel" maintenance now, as the wild and raw true calculation of Black Moon Lilith has just started dipping into Leo.

Black Moon Lilith (BML), the astrological symbol representing the lunar apogee, spends about nine months in each of the signs of the zodiac. There are two calculations for Black Moon Lilith - a true calculation and a mean calculation, which is an averaged daily calculation of the movement of the lunar apogee. Both true and mean points can be used in astrological analysis.

The true Black Moon Lilith point is considered the more raw point, the more erratic, unpredictable, and volatile point, moving quickly back and forth, back and forth in the zodiac. It is this true Black Moon Lilith calculation that has now started dipping into Leo, and this is going to start to bring the diva in a big way.

The mean (averaged) calculation of Black Moon Lilith is currently finishing its transit of Cancer and will enter Leo on March 6 for a transit that lasts until December 3, 2014.

The influence of BML in Leo will be felt into March 2015.

So for most of 2014, dark feminine Black Moon Lilith will be transiting Leo, the sign of artistry, creativity, presence, drama, fun, play, children, personality, ego, celebrity, and star power. 

Transiting Black Moon Lilith in Leo does bring the potential for some diva antics (in males and in females), and those diva antics can have a real edge to them, especially if people feel they have not been allowed to shine fully. People who feel passed over or as if they do not receive the full attention and appreciation their talents warrant will be feeling this one acutely, as will anyone with strong Leo natally or in the progressed chart.

Everyone is going to have to watch the ego antics in 2014, as well as any unconscious or underhanded ploys for attention.

Black Moon Lilith relates to the feminine experience that is generally denied, suppressed, marginalized, or otherwise not given its due.

With Black Moon Lilith in Leo, it is the people who do not generally get their full play that will be in the most powerful - yet volatile - positions now. This is empowerment for the people who are digging into the dark stuff, the suppressed stuff, the stuff that makes the mainstream most uncomfortable. This isn't about going for the easy attention, the easy laugh, the easy ego hit. This isn't about mainstream popularity, either.

This is some hard-core, deep-down, shouting it from the margins creative power, busting some shit wide open that desperately needs to be busted open.

With transiting Black Moon Lilith in Leo, we all need plenty of space to let our star power shine this year. If we come into contact with other Big Personalities in the wrong ways, we are certainly going to know it. Sparks! Sizzle! Snarl! This is not the year to crowd anyone on an ego, personality, or creative level. This is not the year to steal anyone else's sunshine.

In particular, Black Moon Lilith in Leo will have the suppressed female ego, female creativity, female personality, and female star power breaking out of some of the old confines.

This could get ugly if we aren't careful.

Some BML in Leo themes include: the toxic nature of celebrity, the alchemical arts, dark ploys of the ego, broken hearts, living from the depths of the heart, difficult and powerful personalities, stars in meltdown mode, inherent and radiating star power, triggers related to being or feeling special, seen, and appreciated, Queen (and King) Bee attitudes run amok, personality clashes, suppressed creativity coming to the surface in explosive and provocative ways, anarchist art, feminist art, art from the margins, art that makes the mainstream uncomfortable, the lineage of arts and crafts made by women, dark truths about children and childhood, coat-tail riding, attempts to undermine the artistry or star power of another, stealing another's thunder, being painfully passed over despite superiour skills and talent, popularity, raw nerves and extreme sensitivity related to our heartfelt creative output, including children.

This is not a placement that enjoys being head-patted in any way, shape, or form. Fair warning.

Black Moon Lilith in Leo has earned her star power. She knows who she is. And Goddess help anyone who steps on her starshine.  

The sometimes-painful Black Moon Lilith in Leo desires for recognition, praise, and attention could be especially stirred during Aquarius season. Leo is a sign ruled by the Sun - a big, bold, radiating presence. But the currently transiting Sun is in detriment in Aquarius, in a sign opposite the one it naturally rules, and this means it can be difficult to achieve the praise, attention, and "specialness" the Sun so craves.

An Aquarius Sun has a presence that is focused on the big picture, on concepts and ideas, on a future vision, on friendship, on the community as a whole, and on being a presence that is of benefit to that community. As a result, the orientation of the self-expression is often conceptual, group-focused, "beyond" the standard interpersonal relations and concerns, and this Sun placement can have difficulty shining fully as an individual at times.

This difficulty could be exacerbated with dispositor Uranus in competitive Aries, increasing the rebellious need for individuality, independence, and a strong sense of self.

The Sun in Aquarius and the extended stay of Mercury in Aquarius will certainly be a help with the intense and potentially volatile energies afoot over the next while, however.

Any fiery Black Moon Lilith in Leo diva action will be kept in check by these transits through Aquarius. After all, Aquarius thinks you're just as special as the next guy!
