A Re-Post for Pisces Season: Spiritual Sovereignty as the Long Game Ahead of the Next Saturn-Pluto Conjunction

The Sun entered Pisces this morning (10:43 a.m. CST), marking the beginning of Pisces season for 2022. This is a bigger and bolder Pisces season than usual, as we have Cosmic Spotlight and Greater Benefic planet Jupiter transiting the sign, as well.
 
We will experience a New Moon at 12 degrees Pisces on March 2 that will also be conjunct Jupiter at 14 degrees Pisces. This indicates an opening into an expanded awareness of spiritual (Pisces) law (Jupiter), among other things, and the themes associated with the New Moon and following 28-day lunar cycle may have a longer reach than usual.
 
I'm re-posting an article below that was first published on November 21, 2020. The article covers some of the themes of the next exact Saturn-Pluto conjunctions, which will occur in 2053 and 2054 at 13 and 14 degrees Pisces. 

Greater Benefic planet Jupiter re-entered Pisces on December 28, 2021, and Jupiter will activate the degrees of the next Saturn-Pluto conjunctions (13 and 14 degrees Pisces) in one pass from February 25 through March 5, 2022. 
 
The Sun moves from the 12-degree Pisces New Moon on March 2 into an exact conjunction to Jupiter on March 5 at 14 degrees Pisces. The Sun-Jupiter conjunction illuminates themes around spirituality, spiritual law, and spiritual sovereignty, and these themes will extend for the next 46 or so years, through the end of the Pluto in Pisces transit (2043 to 2068).
 
Because the powers that be on this planet use astrology to plan their (highly nefarious) long games, it benefits the people to plan our own long games using this marvelous tool, as well...
 
The Sun and Jupiter form their exact conjunction at 14 degrees Pisces just as Venus and Mars form a potent conjunction at zero degrees Aquarius on March 6, 2022. This indicates strong "transition of the eras" themes and re-activates the Jupiter-Saturn conjunction at zero degrees Aquarius from December 21, 2020. We're driving to the net as far as the type of future we'd like to create and live on this planet while refusing and rejecting the control-based technocratic dystopia being planned for us. 

The spiritual buoyancy indicated by the transit of Jupiter in Pisces reaches a high point in April, as Jupiter and Neptune form a conjunction at 23 degrees Pisces (exact April 12). The divinely glowing energy from this conjunction is extended through the end of the month, as Venus forms an exact conjunction to Neptune at 24 degrees Pisces on April 27. From there, we experience the Conjunction of the Benefics with a Venus-Jupiter conjunction on April 30 at 27 degrees Pisces. Venus and Jupiter will also be conjunct Neptune at the time, which will be at 24 degrees Pisces.

With Jupiter transiting Pisces, there is an expansive influence related to spirituality, the unseen, and the otherworldly. Developing spiritual sovereignty, spiritual ethics, and spiritual principles and putting them into action in the external world is a key theme of the Jupiter in Pisces transit and also for the upcoming Saturn in Pisces transit (March 7, 2023 to February 13, 2026). Successfully taking this spiritual work on now, under the comparatively benevolent influence of Jupiter in Pisces, heads off some of the considerable challenges that will be experienced as Saturn and Pluto come together in their next behemoth conjunctions in Pisces in 2053 and 2054. If we are not still traipsing through the Earthly plane at that time, the work we successfully complete now will benefit and support those who are. Our loved ones.
 
The upcoming transit of Saturn in Pisces (March 2023 to February 2026) will activate the degrees of the next Saturn-Pluto conjunctions (13 and 14 Pisces) in three passes: March 26 through April 13, 2024; September 21 through October 27, 2024 (Rx); and December 4, 2024 through January 6, 2025. 

The transit of Saturn through Pisces from March 2023 to February 2026 indicates themes of spiritual crisis, spiritual restriction, and spiritual persecution by authoritarian individuals and infrastructures. It also indicates a requirement to live by our own consciences and spiritual principles in the material world despite censure or external consequences for doing so. (The spiritual consequences for not doing so will be far greater than anything the corrupt power regime of Planet Earth could dish out...) 
 
There is some hard work coming around these spiritual sovereignty themes, but anything we successfully tackle during these transits makes for an easier time - for ourselves and for the collective - 30+ years hence when Saturn and Pluto come together in Pisces.
 
The Sabian Symbol for 14 degrees Pisces, activated by the Sun-Jupiter conjunction on March 5, 2022, is:  
 
An Officer Drilling His Men in a Simulated Attack
 
Well, consider this article and information:
 
An Astrologer Drilling Her Readers in a Simulated Attack
 
This is a spiritual attack drill. The types of spiritual attacks and contraventions of spiritual law that we are experiencing now are only precursors to what is planned for the transit of Pluto in Pisces (2043 to 2068) and, in particular, for the Saturn-Pluto conjunctions in 2053 and 2054. Awareness of power establishment hijinx ahead of time helps us to spiritually protect ourselves and others over the long term.
 
What follows is a lengthy article, but I think it provides necessary information and context for planning those long games!
 
 
As spiritually sovereign beings, we reject the technocratic control being planned for humanity during the Pluto in Aquarius years (2023 to 2044). We reject any artificial and socially-engineered version of life imposed on us top-down without our input or consent. We reject a world where machines (and machine-like people) make our decisions for us based on data-collection, privacy-annihilation, and algorithms. We reject the imposition of manufactured values that are not our values - a key Uranus in Taurus theme. We choose a life that is governed by us from a spiritually-sovereign state, according to our own spiritual guidance, principles, and conscience. 
 
We know they're coming for the very spirit of us. This is what they cannot control, cannot enslave, cannot contain, no matter what they do to our physical bodies. We can see it coming decades ahead. We can see it coming in the Pluto in Pisces years (2043 to 2068). 
 
Saturn and Pluto form a conjunction at 14 degrees Pisces on July 10, 2053 and then again at 13 degrees Pisces on February 1, 2054. Authoritarian forms (Saturn) that attempt to bring an annihilation (Pluto) of spirituality and the human spirit (Pisces). This includes the proliferation of false forms of spirituality or a false God. Domination and control through a poisoned or poisonous (Pluto) version of spirituality (Pisces). Poisoning the human spirit.
 
These silly machinations are all so predictable, aren't they?

Spiritual Sovereignty as the Long Game Ahead of the Next Saturn-Pluto Conjunction

As spiritually sovereign beings, we reject the technocratic control being planned for humanity during the Pluto in Aquarius years (2023 to 2044). We reject any artificial and socially-engineered version of life imposed on us top-down without our input or consent. We reject a world where machines (and machine-like people) make our decisions for us based on data-collection, privacy-annihilation, and algorithms. We reject the imposition of manufactured values that are not our values - a key Uranus in Taurus theme. We choose a life that is governed by us from a spiritually-sovereign state, according to our own spiritual guidance, principles, and conscience. 
 
We know they're coming for the very spirit of us. This is what they cannot control, cannot enslave, cannot contain, no matter what they do to our physical bodies. We can see it coming decades ahead. We can see it coming in the Pluto in Pisces years (2043 to 2068). 
 
Saturn and Pluto form a conjunction at 14 degrees Pisces on July 10, 2053 and then again at 13 degrees Pisces on February 1, 2054. Authoritarian forms (Saturn) that attempt to bring an annihilation (Pluto) of spirituality and the human spirit (Pisces). This includes the proliferation of false forms of spirituality or a false God. Domination and control through a poisoned or poisonous (Pluto) version of spirituality (Pisces). Poisoning the human spirit.
 
These silly machinations are all so predictable, aren't they?
 
The mysterious inner knowing; the magic of living; the beautiful, organic flow; the love and connections that link us through time, space, and location - this is what they have their sights set on. This is what the fools think they can stamp out of existence. Our spiritual sovereignty - governed by connection to a higher power or to our own consciences or both. The energetic transcendence of physical life and its forms. The unifying energy. This is what they think they can take from us. 

When the machine tells us to live in a way that contravenes our own consciences or spiritual principles, they want us so mind-controlled that we choose the machine...
 
The Saturn-Pluto conjunction at 22 degrees Capricorn on January 12, 2020 was an astrological indicator of the largest authoritarian power grab in human history. There has been an attempt to gain complete control over the structure and function of daily human life. This power grab was fed by the largest and most elaborate psychological operative ever carried out against the people of Earth, and this psychological operative is ongoing.
 
The next Saturn-Pluto conjunction is in Pisces in 2053/54, and we can already see the astrological writing on the wall. In light of this, a firm re-commitment to our spiritual sovereignty is in order, along with regular renewal of that commitment in our conscious minds, words, and deeds.

Uranus in Taurus, Agenda 21/2030, and the Forced Depopulation of Rural Areas Via Unnatural Disaster (Ongoing)

These are photographs of smoke in the air from forest fires. There are a few in my Canadian province, but most is coming from Washington, Oregon, and California in the United States. The key thing to understand about the levels of smoke seen in these photographs is: there are mountains in the background that cannot be seen because they have been entirely blotted out by smoke. You can smell smoke indoors with the windows closed. It's causing headaches and breathing problems.

 

 



I'm reposting an article after the page break that I wrote in early January 2020, just as Saturn and Pluto were coming together in historic conjunction at 22 degrees Capricorn. The Saturn-Pluto conjunction was exact January 12, 2020, and the authoritarian orchestrations that have been played out by the power establishment since then have been beyond belief for most people.

Lord of the Underworld Pluto, moving retrograde, has now returned to 22 degrees Capricorn where it will station direct on October 4. As Pluto re-activates the degree of the historic Saturn-Pluto conjunction, with Saturn Rx conjunct at 25 degrees Capricorn, we are experiencing an intensification of orchestrated Hell on Earth. 

One aspect of this orchestrated Hell on Earth comes in the form of manufactured drought and heat followed by forest fires that have been (at least in part) intentionally set.

Pallas Athene, Jupiter, Saturn, and Pluto all station direct in Capricorn in the span of one month - from September 5 to October 4. This makes for a very intense period of time when establishment orchestrations are in overdrive, and the people are required to actively resist each step of the way. We're required to choose a different way and to keep choosing that different way in the face of near-relentless social engineering, manipulation, lies, and authoritarian attempts at control.

Yesterday, people all over Canada came together to protest the authoritarian "lockdown" and everything that goes along with it. They came together to assert their natural-born freedom and sovereignty. There were more than 100,000 people marching through the streets of Montreal, Quebec. Hundreds gathered in Calgary and Edmonton, Alberta. Today, amidst all the smoke, thousands are gathering to march in Vancouver, British Columbia.  

Make no mistake. The people are refusing the authoritarian world order. You won't see this covered in any meaningful way on mainstream media. If you do see it covered, you'll see major downplaying of the numbers of people involved, along with the insinuation that we're crazy conspiracy theorists or that we're selfish. (Personal freedom isn't selfish.)

Channeling Pallas Athene as we Thwart the Advancement of the Technocratic State

As written about in previous articles, the orchestrated pandemic, global authoritarian power grab, and attempted implementation of "medical" martial law around the world have unfolded in lock-step with the astrology. 

For millennia, the powers that be have used astrology to plan and organize their nefarious schemes, and this, perhaps the hugest and most complex nefarious scheme in all of human history, is no exception.

We can see two key periods - March equinox and December solstice 2020 - that indicate major attempted advances of this authoritarian power scheme. I say 'attempted' because that is all it is - attempts by individuals and groups who hold no legitimate authority over us. These are not our leaders - far from it. The power they hold is an illusion, something they try to back up with violence or the threat of violence, coercion, manipulation, poisonings, fakery, tricks, and lies. This is not true power. These people and groups hold no true power over us. 

Awareness of the astrology and the associated themes can assist us in resisting these timed power grabs while retaining our sovereignty, body, mind, and spirit. Once you see through these machinations - the attempts to use astrology and nature's power for evil ends - it all becomes quite pathetic and easily rejected.

The central aspect that kicked off this worldwide test of the authoritarian power grid was the conjunction between Saturn and Pluto at 22 degrees Capricorn on January 12, 2020 (chart). The Saturn-Pluto conjunction also occurred in close conjunction to Earth Mama Ceres and communication-related Mercury. The conjunction indicated an intensification and consolidation of authoritarian power, but also a grand-scale transformation of power, particularly the vehicles of power.

The Pluto in Capricorn years (2008 – 2023) have coincided with the rise of the corporation as a vehicle for the power elite. In addition, corruption and illegitimacy (Pluto) have been exposed in institutions (Capricorn) of all kinds throughout these years.

Pluto in Aquarius (2023 - 2043) indicates two decades characterized by the rise of technology as a vehicle for the power elite.

A Stellium on the "Master Builder" Degree of Capricorn Kicks Off this New Decade

 Saturn-Pluto conjunction at 22 degrees Capricorn on January 12, 2020 in a stellium with the Sun, Ceres, and Mercury, along with Jupiter - click to enlarge
 

The Sun enters Capricorn on December 21 (8:19 p.m. PST), marking winter solstice in the northern hemisphere and the beginning of Capricorn season. Winter solstice is always a celebratory date to observe in Canada, as it marks "the shortest day," and daylight hours begin to lengthen soon following this yearly marker.

This year's solstice is followed by a Christmas Day New Moon at 4 degrees Capricorn (9:13 p.m.) which will be conjunct Greater Benefic Jupiter, officially launching us into Capricorn season.  

True to the Jupiterian astrological marker, this Capricorn season is a big one!

It involves a massive stellium of bodies in Capricorn (Jupiter, the Sun, Mercury, Ceres, Saturn, and Pluto, along with the South Node of the Moon), including the historic conjunction of Saturn and Pluto at 22 degrees Capricorn on January 12, 2020. 

As you can see in the chart above, Earth Mother dwarf planet Ceres will be exactly conjunct Saturn and Pluto at 22 Capricorn at the time of the Saturn-Pluto conjunction. The Sun and Mercury will also form exact conjunctions to Saturn and Pluto on this degree around that time.

This indicates a bit of a "getting serious and taking stock" moment as we survey our progress over the past year and over the past decade while preparing for new responsibilities up ahead. We're solidifying current positions while simultaneously contemplating new vistas that are opening to us.

Jupiter in Capricorn and the Truth About the Forced Vaccine Agenda

- Art by Ricardo Mira -

Luck, expansion, and wisdom planet Jupiter enters Capricorn for a year-long transit on December 2. 

Between December 2, 2019 and May 14, 2020, Jupiter will move through almost the entire sign of Capricorn (0 to 27 degrees) before turning retrograde. 

Jupiter last transited Capricorn from December 2007 to January 2009. That coincided with Pluto's initial ingress of Capricorn on January 26, 2008 and the first year of its transit through the sign of the sea-goat. 

Now, Jupiter is back in the sign, throwing its cosmic spotlight on the murky wake that has been left by the Lord of the Underworld since 2008, enlarging and expanding the themes that have been dug up during Pluto's transit of Capricorn. 

Shedding light on the illegitimate power and abuses (Pluto) of the corporate oligarchy (Capricorn) is certainly high on Jupiter's priority list.

From the upcoming patron article on the Jupiter in Capricorn transit: 

"During this transit, we will see an increased focus on principles and ethics (Jupiter) in business and institutions (Capricorn), along with a glaring spotlight shining on the deplorable lack of these things in many of the more powerful and lauded positions on our planet... 

This Jupiter transit will expand or "blow up" many of the issues that have been simmering throughout the Pluto in Capricorn transit (2008 to present) regarding illegitimacy in our power structures and corruption that has been built right into the function of our businesses, corporations, banks, and societal institutions."

Pluto Stationing Direct in Capricorn Conjunct Saturn and Resisting Everyday Fascism

Lord of the Underworld Pluto stations direct at 20 degrees Capricorn on October 2 (11:39 p.m. PDT) within a conjunction to Cosmic Daddy Saturn, and patriarchal bureaucratic hierarchy's got us down!

Even recognizing the invisible, top-down, coercive hand of Everyday Fascism in the functioning of mainstream society is challenging and exhausting, let alone resisting it while using our own steely wills to chart a different course.

But recognizing and resisting this Everyday Fascism and then choosing a different course through our daily lives is exactly the challenge that has been laid at our feet under the Saturn-Pluto conjunction in Capricorn (exact in January 2020).

The rigid, artificial rhythms for daily work and life that have been set out for us are internalized by most at a very young age. We're born into it. This is just "what's normal." It's "what's done." It's "the way things are."

The Machine tells us: when to wake up, when to eat or drink, when to get in our cars or on our buses or trains, when to start work, when to stop work, when to take a 15-minute break from work, when to speak (and what to say), when not to speak (and what not to say), when to take a piss, when to pay our bills, when to take our allotted leisure time, when to be entertained, when to have sex, when to go to sleep. Then rinse and repeat.

Above all, The Machine tells us: faster, faster! More slick! More efficient! More impressive! Just more!

Can't rest. Can't slow down. Can't re-direct. Can't stop. Can't show signs of weakness with the wolves at our doors.

Dystopian Flames Exhibit at the Public Library - May to June 2019

 These are photographs of my photography, jewellery, and zine exhibit called "Dystopian Flames" that is running at my public library for the months of May and June 2019. 

One of the main reasons I'm doing this exhibit is to raise public awareness and to force action on the part of government to end the toxic and deadly practise of open oil flaring. You can read more about that practise later in this article, after the photographs.  

Most of the items in this exhibit (and more) are available at the Willow's Web Astrology Etsy shop.

I'm also doing a free "How to Make a Zine" workshop at the library in hopes of starting a revolutionary wave of zine-makingggggg in my area!

If you live in the wild West Kootenays of British Columbia and would like to know details about this exhibit or the zine workshop, please email me at willowsweb [at] hushmail.com

Dystopian Flames

"Dystopian Flames"

This five-photograph grouping, along with a supplementary 'zine, is available at the Willow's Web Astrology Etsy shop.

All photographs in this article are part of a photography exhibit I'm doing at a local library.

You can also see a YouTube video on this exhibit.


Planet of concrete challenges, Saturn, is within orb of a conjunction to Hell-ruler Pluto throughout 2019. As this conjunction tightens, becoming exact a single time on January 12, 2020, we are confronted in our concrete lives and realities with all that has been suppressed, manipulated, lied about, and buried (Pluto) within business, corporations, finance, government, and institutions (Capricorn). Things are coming to a head on multiple fronts throughout 2019 and 2020 under the slow-burn effects of this Saturn-Pluto conjunction, and the toxicity and violence inherent in many of the structures and hierarchical pyramid-schemes of power on Planet Earth cannot be denied. 

Saturn relates to what is real, what is concrete, what is tangible, and as it steps further into the murky, netherworld regions of Pluto, we are faced with real, concrete, and tangible confrontations with some of the hellish scenarios that have been manufactured for us on this planet. These confrontations will require some type of effort on our parts in order to liberate ourselves from their weight. 

Whatever Plutonic threads are being plucked in your life, I encourage you to follow them to their roots and address them, working toward concrete solutions both in your own personal life and within human society at large. The personal is transpersonal and vice versa.

Saturn conjunct Pluto in Capricorn requires that we work, step-by-step, for our liberation from the many manufactured and manipulated Hell-scenarios currently running amok. It requires that we demand something better, something more honest, something wholly legitimate, and that we do so from right where we stand.

Our efforts toward liberation from the muck and the murk are not futile (far from it!), despite what we may have been conditioned to think...

Saturn in Capricorn and the Applying Saturn-Pluto Conjunction in 2019

What follows is a patron article on the Saturn in Capricorn transit that was first released to Willow's Web Astrology patrons on July 7, 2017.

I'm publishing this article on the public blog today (with the Sun and Saturn in a New Year's Day conjunction at 11 degrees Capricorn ahead of a January 5 New Moon at 15 degrees Capricorn (5:28 p.m. PST) conjunct Pluto) because the themes are highly relevant as Saturn transits Capricorn in an applying conjunction to Pluto throughout 2019.

Many of the simmering themes of the Pluto in Capricorn transit that I've been writing about over the past 11 years (80 articles and counting!) will be coming to a head as the Saturn-Pluto conjunction tightens. In light of this, I offer my work here (slightly updated for this re-publishing) as a navigational tool for any challenges up ahead. Being prepared with strong astrological back-up is a key for success in 2019 and always, and you will find no stronger astrological back-up for these challenging times than at Willow's Web Astrology!

Thank-you to all Willow's Web Astrology patrons for supporting me to do this type of in-depth astrological work and writing. It would not be possible otherwise.

Saturn entered its own sign of Capricorn on December 21, 2017, and as it did, it formed a potent conjunction to the Sun at zero degrees Capricorn, marking solstice. This was followed by a stellium of bodies in Capricorn that stretched from late December 2017 through the end of January 2018. This stellium was at its peak at the time of the 26-degree Capricorn New Moon on January 16, 2018 when six bodies were transiting the sign - Sun, Moon, Mercury, Venus, Saturn, and Pluto, along with Black Moon Lilith.

Stop Bayer-Monsanto's Crimes Against Humanity, Animals, and the Environment!

The 66-billion dollar merger of Bayer and Monsanto, two of the most evil corporations in the world, each with extensive blood on its hands, will reportedly go forward as planned, closing in early 2018, despite what many see as a clear violation of anti-monopoly/anti-trust laws.

The unholy union between pharmaceuticals, chemicals, and GMO (genetically modified organism)-giant Bayer with chemicals and GMO-giant Monsanto will solidify as Saturn and Pluto come together in conjunction in Capricorn. The Saturn-Pluto conjunction is in effect from 2019 through 2020 and will be exact at 22 degrees Capricorn on January 12, 2020.

We can see these corporations positioning themselves, preparing to use the energy of the merger - under these hardcore astrological markers - to advance their nefarious operations. 

If approved, the merger would create the largest chemical pesticide/herbicide and GMO corporation in the world. 

The merger comes together under transiting Jupiter in Scorpio (October 2017 to November 2018). This indicates a theme of large (Jupiter) mergers (Scorpio) that involve great complexity along with (in this case) a sinister underbelly. The power dynamics and detrimental practises (Scorpio) of these corporations are being exposed under the spotlight-scrutiny of Jupiter transiting Scorpio. 

Despite flatlining sales and millions of people around the world vehemently and vocally opposing its chemical-ridden, genetic modification of the food supply, Monsanto has said that it "expects to accelerate the growth of products it offers to farmers" via the merger with Bayer.

"The synergy coming from the merger is expected to contribute significantly to Monsanto's overall sales, which for the past two quarters have been flat compared to analogous quarters a year prior." (Source: "Monsanto Merger with Bayer Progresses" by Alberto Abaterusso)

Here we see a method that keeps many a criminal corporation in business - the "synergistic merger" with another criminal corporation. The planned merger of Bayer with Monsanto follows other recent mega-mergers in the GMO and chemicals game - Dow and DuPont joined forces to form DowDuPont in 2015, and ChemChina merged with Syngenta in 2016.

Despite the fact that they are losing - badly - in the court of public opinion, Bayer and Monsanto are using the energy of the Saturn-Pluto conjunction in Capricorn to join forces in an attempt to dominate and control the global seed/food and chemical supply.
