Uranus and Jupiter Station Retrograde in Taurus: Drawing on the Grounding Wisdom of Bovines in Times of Upheaval and Change

Cosmic Spotlight and Greater Benefic planet Jupiter transits Taurus, the fixed sign of the bull, from May 17, 2023 to May 26, 2024. This puts the wisdom of Taurus at the forefront, as well as wisdom drawn from our bovine friends.

Cosmic Change Agent, Uranus, is also transiting Taurus at this time (2018 - 2026). Both Uranus and Jupiter will station retrograde in Taurus in the upcoming weeks - Uranus stations retrograde at 23 degrees Taurus on August 28, and Jupiter stations retrograde at 15 degrees Taurus on September 4. These astrological indicators suggest some very concentrated themes in the sign of Taurus involving the wisdom and stability we need to successfully move through rapid changes and transitions.

Change and transition are not loved by Taurus the Bull, to say the least. Taurus is a sign that enjoys certainty, stability, routine, and regularity, but these things can be very hard to come by in these artificially-paced and socially-engineered times. We're working through times of massive change - much of it being orchestrated top-down - and this can be very challenging for Taurus and for all the fixed signs. It can be very challenging for any of the signs of the zodiac, to be honest! 

What follows is an article I wrote during the last Jupiter in Taurus transit (June 5, 2011 to June 11, 2012). I was back living on my family cattle ranch at the time. These tips, drawn from the behaviour of our cattle herd, can help us to better understand the sign of Taurus, especially when it is stressed by change and transition, and this can help us to more successfully navigate the changes and transitions going on in our own lives and in the world around us.

The article was originally published on the main blog on May 19, 2012, during the last Jupiter in Taurus transit.

I grew up on a cattle ranch on the Saskatchewan prairie and spent years there as an adult, as well. You can't really get much more Taurean than ranch work. It's life on the land, on prairie grassland. It's physical work. It's animals and plants and dirt, wind and rain, sweat and sun. The work unfolds according to natural timing, according to the seasons, and it follows a similar course every year. Farmers and ranchers are time keepers in this way. They work according to old, nature-based rhythms and keep those fundamental energetic patterns anchored, just as the animals themselves do. When the Sun goes up, it's time to work. When it goes down, the work day's done. Simple.

I helped my father and mother on the ranch as I could, and after years of observing the cattle while also studying astrology, I realized how much you can understand about the sign and energy of Taurus through the behaviour of bovines.

Understanding The Sign of Taurus Through the Characteristics of Cows

1) Taurus is a fixed sign, and cows have a fixed nature. They really don't like to move all that much, especially if they've just had a calf. Cows don't enjoy transition. They like their basic routines, and they're not fans of any upheaval or changes in those routines.

2) Cows are comfort seekers, just like Taurus. Once they're content, they like to stay put, enjoying the sunshine, grazing, and chewing their cuds. The only time they can be convinced to favour a change is if an option opens that brings them even more comfort. This generally involves more or better food - another Taurus favourite.

Every year on the ranch, a portion of the cow-calf pairs were rounded up and trucked to a Native-run community pasture for the spring and summer. Once there, they had all the space and grass they could desire, but in order to get there, they had to endure the transition. They had to be moved from pasture to pasture at home and then up to the corrals to be worked before being trucked to the new pasture, and this definitely ruffled them a bit. Again, though, if the reward is there, they'll endure - just like Taurus.

To move the cow-calf pairs, my Dad rode horseback, and my mother and I (never horsewomen) each drove a vehicle through the bumpy-ass pastures in a mini round-up. My sweet ride was the 1986 Chevy farm truck. Just as if we were on horseback, we spread out to herd the cattle. Trying to determine how best to get cattle moving in the right direction gives us helpful hints for interacting with people with a lot of Taurus!

3) Cows, like Taurus, don't like to be rushed. They like to do things slowly, gradually, on their own timing. When they do move, they like it to be related to securing basic resources - food, water, shade, shelter from wind, or a comfortable place to lie down. 

 

 

4) You can't pressure them too much. Cows will take some gentle guidance, but press too much, at the wrong place, or too quickly, and they won't do what you want them to do. If they feel excessively pressured, they'll rebel or freak out. They can be remarkably stubborn once they've been riled and will even jump a fence to get away. If an entire herd has been spooked in this way, they'll run through a barbed-wire fence. Suffice it to say, it's best to take it nice and easy on both bovines and Taureans, giving them lots of time and adequate space to make their moves.

5) Cows, like Taurus, enjoy working with a boundary. The easiest way to move cattle is by gently pushing them along a fence line to an open gate. Taking them through the middle of the open pasture is more likely to create confusion and panic. Boundaries and limitations help them feel safe.

6) Like Taurus, it takes cattle a while to get going, but once they have some momentum gathered, they follow a steady course. And once they have a steady course, they move along fairly quickly - no fuss, no muss.

7) Cows pretty much do what the rest of the pack is doing. This is the traditional aspect of Taurus. Once in a while, there will be a renegade cow who busts out on her own, but usually, they like to do what the other cows are doing, as long as it makes good, practical cow sense.

8) They seem very docile and gentle, and generally are, but cows (like Taurus) can become very pissed off - and dangerous - if they feel threatened in any way. Like most animals, cows are very protective of their babies.

9) Just like Taurus, after a transition or upheaval, cows need some time on their own to settle down and get back to a state of calm contentment. Once the pressure is removed, it doesn't take them long to get back to a settled state. Like Taurus, they're very grounded!

Use these helpful insights into the ways of the bovine to keep the Taureans in your life (and the Taurus in your own chart) sweet, calm, contented, and moving in the right direction!

I talked about Taurus, the behaviour of bovines, and the Jupiter in Taurus transit of 2011/2012 with Matt Savinar on his community radio show on KOWS FM out of Occidental, California in May 2012. You can listen to the show at this link.

A Re-Post With Mars in Taurus - Uranus in Taurus: the 5G-Driven "Smart Farming" Scheme as an Attempt to Make Farmers and Ranchers Obsolete on Their Own Land

With Mars transiting Taurus (July 5 to August 20, 2022) and pushing to a conjunction to Uranus and the North Node of the Moon on August 1, we are seeing a massive agrarian uprising in the Netherlands that is spilling into other European countries like Germany and Italy. These are ranchers, farmers, and their supporters resisting the top-down Global Green Agenda currently being used as an excuse to eliminate independent ranches (and soon, other farms).

What follows is a re-post of an article that was first published on the blog on January 9, 2021. The article was written and posted for the previous Mars in Taurus transit from January 6 to March 4, 2021. The article goes into depth about the Technocratic authoritarian power grab - currently riding in on the 5G/6G technology grid - that also involves an attempted takeover of independent ranching and farming by corporatized, digitized, Technocratic interests.

As of July 5, 2022, Mars has returned to agriculture-related Taurus, and the same themes are being pushed to a head once again as the warrior planet forms a conjunction to transiting Uranus and the North Node of the Moon at 18 degrees Taurus (exact August 1, 2022).

Regardless of political stances, this is about the independent production of food on this planet. If you eat food, these rural rebellions affect you. 

 From January 9, 2021:

Uranus in Taurus: the 5G-Driven "Smart Farming" Scheme as an Attempt to Make Farmers and Ranchers Obsolete on Their Own Land

As we move through the first month of 2021, Jupiter and Saturn are traveling in conjunction through the first decan of Aquarius. The exact conjunction of these two bodies, initiating a new 20-year cycle, was exact on December 21, 2020 at 0 degrees Aquarius.

Aquarius is a sign related to technology, science, humanity, communities, friendship, global elements, win-win scenarios, humanitarianism, eugenics, and social engineering, among other things. 

Saturn first cracked the seal on the sign of Aquarius from March 21 to July 1, 2020. This period coincided with the rapid rollout of 5G infrastructure in countries around the world as the powers-that-be attempted to cement (Saturn) a technological advancement (Aquarius) that would provide them with unprecedented control over human beings, human communities, and life and energy on the planet. In effect, this was a concrete attempted takeover by the Technocracy, pushing a brand of globalized, top-down social engineering that would "transform" our societies and lives without our permission. 

Saturn re-entered Aquarius on December 16, 2020 for a transit that lasts until March 7, 2023. Jupiter followed into the sign on December 19, 2020 for a year-long transit that lasts until December 29, 2021. With the addition of Jupiter in Aquarius, 2021 marks an attempted expansion of this technology-based control grid, along with lock-step advancement of Technocratic social engineering around the world. 

All this is being described in glowing terms by the telecommunications industry, government, and mainstream media, as a highly benevolent (Jupiter) and much-needed advancement (Aquarius) for human society. They also talk about it as if it's a done deal. It isn't. Far from it.

I've written about Smart Cities, Technocracy, and the importance of establishing our spiritual sovereignty in a recent article: Spiritual Sovereignty as the Long Game Ahead of the Next Saturn-Pluto Conjunction

The Saturn in Aquarius transit leads almost seamlessly into the Pluto in Aquarius transit (March 2023 to January 2044). Pluto enters Aquarius on March 24, 2023, just as Saturn exits the sign. 

Mars Enters Taurus, the Dutch Rancher Resistance, and a Re-Post: Uranus in Taurus and the Farmer/Rancher/Rural Rebellion (2018 to 2026)

Dutch farmers and ranchers are currently protesting the globalist Green Agenda that would see 30% of ranches in their country become obsolete (at least, for this round) with the stated purpose of "cutting nitrogen emissions." This protest has ramifications for all human beings on this planet. The Netherlands is the Test Case Nation for agriculture-related policies that are planned for worldwide implementation. As Bill Gates and mad scientists in lab coats create Engineered Meat Product (TM) and corporations start producing crickets and other insects for human consumption, these ranchers are fighting for the future of food and independent food production on this planet.

They're right on schedule. Mars (anger, action, goals) enters Taurus (agriculture, food, resources) just after midnight tonight and will move to a conjunction with Uranus (rebellion) and the North Node of the Moon (soul-directed path forward) at 18 degrees Taurus on August 2. This is not the first time Dutch ranchers and farmers and their supporters have protested en masse to refuse the insane faux green regulations that would put them (and independent food production in general) out of business. They were also protesting in October 2019. 

 

The article that follows was originally published on the blog on November 10, 2019. 

 

 

Uranus in Taurus and the Farmer/Rancher/Rural Rebellion (2018 to 2026)

Cattle on my family ranch

The Moon grows full at 19 degrees Taurus exactly conjunct asteroid Vesta Rx in Taurus and opposite the Sun and Mercury Rx in Scorpio in the early hours of November 12, 2019 (5:34 a.m. PST). 

 

The Moon is exalted in the earthy and grounded sign of Taurus. The cycles of the Moon play out like clockwork, just like the nature-based rhythms of agrarian Taurus. It's a lovely match.

 

The Moon relates to the public, to the populace, and particularly to the emotional state of the populace. Under this Taurus Full Moon, we have illuminated for us a full-out worldwide rebellion of rural people, ranchers, farmers, resource-based workers, and those who have a life on the land running through their blood. 

The Taurus Moon forms a conjunction to Uranus Rx at 4 degrees late tonight (11:10 p.m.), and this Uranian rebellion energy is carried into the lunar peak.
The exact conjunction between the Full Moon and asteroid of hearth and home Vesta, retrograde in Taurus, indicates strong themes involving resources and soul-level investments. We've put years, lifetimes, into our material anchors on this Earth, into maintaining a life connected to the natural cycles and rhythms of this Earth. There's a lot at stake here, and we're not letting these resources and investments be stolen from us without a fight.  

 

This Taurus Full Moon is the call to resist. The call to break form. The call for self-determination. Anyone who believes in the right to independence for the human soul can hear this call, whether country dweller or city slicker or a combination of the two.

In October 2019, between 20,000 and 25,000 Dutch farmers converged on the Hague, the Netherlands' capital city, to push back against government suggestions that livestock production should be slashed by 50% to meet European Union nitrogen emissions regulations. Around 8,000 tractors came together in a tractor rally that caused a massive traffic jam in the city. Despite this inconvenience, polls showed that 89% of Dutch people supported the farmers. 

The Astrology of the Punk Movement: Saturn in Leo in Closing Square to Uranus in Scorpio (1975 to 1977)

Some Good Punk Advice - Duct Tape Art by Willow

 

Saturn is stationing retrograde today at 25 degrees Aquarius (3:47 p.m. CST) in a loose square aspect to Uranus at 16 degrees Taurus. The transiting Leo Moon (art, creativity, style) activates the Saturn-Uranus square today and tomorrow as it forms squares to Uranus, the North Node of the Moon, and Mercury in Taurus and an opposition to Saturn in Aquarius. 

 

Saturn will now retrograde in a tightening square to Uranus, stationing direct at 18 degrees Aquarius on October 22 in a square to Uranus at 17 degrees Taurus, just one degree off an exact aspect. The Saturn-Uranus square will be most strongly in effect from September equinox to December solstice, indicating a final quarter of 2022 characterized by further structural changes, adjustments, and re-positioning.

The Saturn in Aquarius square to Uranus in Taurus was most strongly in effect throughout 2021 with three exact aspects: February 17, 2021 at 7 degrees; June 14, 2021 at 13 degrees; and December 23, 2021 at 11 degrees. The energy and themes of this square start to intensify once again as we move through the summertime ease and into fall of 2022.

Saturn in Aquarius is currently in a closing square aspect to Uranus in Taurus, kicking off the last 10 years of a larger cycle. The current Saturn-Uranus cycle (1988 to 2032) began with a Saturn-Uranus conjunction in Sagittarius in 1988, and it will come to its natural conclusion with a Saturn-Uranus conjunction in Gemini in 2032.

Saturn square Uranus indicates rebellion (Uranus) from the establishment (Saturn), a desire to break free from the corrupted and stultifying status quo. We've seen these themes in spades in 2021/22 under a "locked down" planet being coerced, manipulated, lied to, and harmed by pyramid scheme power mongers.

In many ways, astrology is the study of natural cycles and patterns. We look to aspects and events from the past to inform us about our present and our future. 

We saw similar themes during the official birth of punk in 1977 under a closing square between Saturn in Leo and Uranus in Scorpio. That closing square aspect was exact five times: October 4, 1975 at 1 degree; October 17, 1975 at 2 degrees; July 1, 1976 at 3 degrees; February 23, 1977 at 11 degrees; and April 22, 1977 at 10 degrees. That closing square series was part of a Saturn-Uranus cycle (1942 to 1988) that began with a Saturn-Uranus conjunction in Taurus in 1942 and ended with a Saturn-Uranus conjunction in Sagittarius in 1988. 

In both cycles, Saturn and Uranus were squaring off in fixed signs, indicating very hard-won progress within difficult circumstances. With the fixed signs, it can be hard to budge things in a new direction, but once progress is made, it has long-term staying power. 

We saw the punk scene flower and intensify at the end of the Saturn-Uranus closing square series in 1977, and this indicates the possibility for more do-it-yourself, screw-the-establishment creative flowering as we come to the end of the current closing square series between Saturn and Uranus in late 2022. 

Under a Leo Moon stirring previous (Moon) creative efforts (Leo), this is a re-post of an article I wrote for Hexagon Astrology Magazine on the astrology of the punk movement. This astrology included the closing square between Saturn in Leo and Uranus in Scorpio. 

Disclaimer: I realize this article is terribly American-centric and that there is an equally strong, maybe even stronger, argument that punk was born out of the intense class struggles of 1970s England. This article is talking about the phenomenon of punk bursting onto the mainstream radar screen, though, and I do believe it was the New York City punk scene that brought punk to that "bigger, bolder, and more famous" platform, for better or for worse. 

 

Astrology of the Punk Movement

by Willow from Willow's Web Astrology

Published in the Summer 2016 issue of Hexagon Astrology Magazine

 

The exact date of birth for the punk movement can be debated, but amongst those in the know, there is no doubt about the year punk was officially unleashed on the planet: it was 1977.

There is also no doubt about the location of punk’s birthplace: New York City.

New York City in 1977.

The collective psyche of the United States of America was in tatters at the time in the aftermath of the Vietnam War.

The United States – and much of the world – was left reeling after two decades of mass graves, napalmed children, and American flag-draped serviceman caskets floating in nightmare images across their television screens.

The war waged by the United States against the Vietnamese officially ended in 1975 after two full decades of warfare. Somewhere between 800,000 and three million Vietnamese had been slaughtered, along with hundreds of thousands of Cambodians and Laotians and more than 58,000 U.S. soldiers.

The average age of a U.S. soldier killed in Vietnam was 23 years old.

By 1977, the peace-and-love hippie movement had reached a peak and was dissipating.

The anti-war activists and counter-culturalists were exhausted, strung out.

Disco was on the airwaves, attempting to block disturbing reality with catchy beats, funky dance moves, and shiny costumes.

The time was ripe for a big social reaction. 

(A Mercury Rx Re-Post) The Elimination of Saskatchewan Transportation Company (STC): Regressive Transportation Policy Under the Mercury-Pluto Square

The planet that rules transportation, connection, and communication (Mercury) is currently retrograde and will move back into the sign of Taurus (agriculture, food, tradition, rural areas) on May 22. Mercury will station direct at 26 degrees Taurus in a loose conjunction to the North Node of the Moon on June 3. The Sun is shining on 26 degrees Taurus today, and in light of this, I'm re-posting an article I wrote in 2017 about the elimination of Saskatchewan's public transportation system. 

It's been five years since the Brad Wall Conservatives eliminated Saskatchewan Transportation Company (STC), the public bus system that connected the small towns and cities of Saskatchewan for over 70 years. This was a mean-spirited and devastating decision made by vehicle drivers in power.

Only a year later, in 2018, Greyhound bus pulled up stakes, eliminating bus service all across Canada.

I saw this at the time (and see it now) as part of the ongoing efforts by those in power to de-populate rural areas by starving these areas of needed services and resources. With Uranus now transiting Taurus (2018 - 2026), these rural depopulation efforts are in full swing worldwide.

Since STC was eliminated, we have seen a chaotic disaster for public transportation and for the transportation of goods in the province, including needed medical supplies. 

Anyone with a lick of sense could have told the Brad Wall government that this would be the result by eliminating an efficient and cost effective system of bus transport that had served the province for over 70 years. (And we did tell them...repeatedly.) The end result of the short-sighted actions of a handful of misguided politicians has been confusion; frustration; a massive waste of time, medical supplies, and taxpayers' dollars; the creation of dangerous and even potentially deadly conditions; shoddy, piecemeal service that serves only certain communities; and thousands of people in the province being left cut off and without transportation. The actions of this handful of misguided politicians has harmed a couple hundred thousand people in the province at least.

The ideology constantly promoted by neo-conservatives that private, corporate industry is so much more efficient and cost-effective than publicly-owned services has proven to be utterly false to a devastating degree in the case of STC. They are now paying almost as much per year to their cronies for one small part of the service STC provided, and it seems the cronies are doing a terrible job of it.

October 6, 2020: Saskatchewan Party Corporate Donor Received $60 Million Medical Contract After Crown Corporation Shut Down

 

What follows is an article I wrote on the subject that was originally published on March 24, 2017:

The Elimination of Saskatchewan Transportation Company (STC): Regressive Transportation Policy Under the Mercury-Pluto Square

 

On March 22, 2017, as transportation planet Mercury in Aries formed a square to "illegitimate power and hierarchy" Pluto in Capricorn, the neo-conservative Brad Wall government in Saskatchewan, my home province, announced in its budget that it will be shutting down the province's bus system. 

Yes, that's right. No public debate, no public consultation, no transportation alternatives offered. It's just over because Brad Wall and his buddies say it is. 

This government, full of "one car per person" drivers, decided that it can unilaterally eliminate (Pluto) a mass transportation system (Mercury) that people throughout the province have relied on for over 70 years. ("'It's going to be quite a nightmare': Passengers outraged by STC closure" by Jason Warick of CBC News) 

The Pluto in Capricorn bulldozer strikes again, creating a nightmarish and potentially deadly (Pluto) transportation scenario (Mercury) for many... 

Respectful Rebellion Under the Final Exact Saturn-Uranus Square

We experience the third and final closing square aspect between Saturn in Aquarius and Uranus in Taurus tonight (exact at 1:17 a.m. Central on December 24). The first two exact Saturn-Uranus squares occurred on February 17 and June 14, 2021. This prolonged square aspect, strongly in effect throughout 2021, has indicated a year of instability and uncertainty with near-constant structural change. This has meant we've had to stretch our personal adaptation skills to extreme and uncomfortable points at times throughout this year. 

I've written about the themes of respectful (Saturn) rebellion (Uranus) associated with Taskmaster Saturn square Cosmic Agitator Uranus, and I'm including a previous article on the subject (lightly updated) to draw attention to these themes as the third and final Saturn-Uranus square becomes exact tonight. Vigilance on these points will be required long after this square is out of orb. 

From May 21, 2021:

Respectful Rebellion with Saturn Stationing Retrograde in Aquarius Square Uranus in Taurus

In general terms, the transit of Saturn in Aquarius (March 21, 2020 to March 7, 2023) indicates a challenge laid at our feet to build, establish, and reinforce (Saturn) the type of future and the type of communities (Aquarius) we wish to live within. 

Do we wish to live in a human-centred world where we work to meet the real needs of the people, or do we wish to live in an artificial, technology-dominated world where human beings are a commodity to be controlled, data-mined, and exploited? Do we wish to live a natural life, a life as part of nature, or do we wish to live an artificial life of virtual reality? The influence of technology, particularly top-down control (Saturn) through technology (Aquarius), is a major theme for the Saturn in Aquarius transit.

[With Saturn in Aquarius square Uranus in Taurus throughout 2021], we're locked into a period of acute structural change. Many things are changing on many fronts, and people could be sort of losing it under this extremely uncertain and hard-to-pin-down energy. The word "unhinged" comes to mind. Things flying loose. Extreme adaptations to changing conditions. Anxieties or dread nipping at us from multiple angles. Difficulty staying grounded or feeling safe in the material world.

We're required to put extra effort into stability, reliability, normalcy, routine, and personal traditions in order to come through this year in good standing, without being emotionally shredded or left in a shambles by the often-harsh energies. 

Both our emotional and physical anchors must be tended, reinforced, and protected throughout the year and particularly around the times when the Saturn-Uranus square is at its tightest.

 Saturn Retrograde: May 23 to October 10, 2021 from 13 degrees to 6 degrees Aquarius

Venus Out of Bounds: May 23 to June 18 and October 9 to December 7, 2021

Taskmaster Saturn goes retrograde at 13 degrees Aquarius on May 23 (2:19 a.m. Pacific). As Saturn appears to slow and then stop in the zodiac, the energy and themes of this planet become concentrated and our burdens and responsibilities can feel dreadfully heavy to carry. Saturn can be a real drag, and we can be more highly aware of just how big a drag during stations like this.

At the same time, Saturn stations indicate a point when position, status, and authority can be shored up or cemented into place. If we've been working long and hard for some type of progress in our lives or out in the world, Saturn stations can be times when we see the fruits of our labour. We get a moment to pause, to reflect, to check our status, and this provides a vantage point from which we can view just how far we've come. Events may also be kicked up around the time of Saturn stations to test us on just how well we've learned previous lessons.

In general terms, the transit of Saturn in Aquarius (March 21, 2020 to March 7, 2023) indicates a challenge laid at our feet to build, establish, and reinforce (Saturn) the type of future and the type of communities (Aquarius) we wish to live within. 

Do we wish to live in a human-centred world where we work to meet the real needs of the people, or do we wish to live in an artificial, technology-dominated world where human beings are a commodity to be controlled, data-mined, and exploited? Do we wish to live a natural life, a life as part of nature, or do we wish to live an artificial life of virtual reality? The influence of technology, particularly top-down control (Saturn) through technology (Aquarius), is a major theme for the Saturn in Aquarius transit.

Saturn Rx will now back into a second exact square to Cosmic Agitator Uranus in Taurus (June 14), and as the squeeze of this square aspect intensifies, we're locked into a period of acute structural change. Many things are changing on many fronts, and people could be sort of losing it under this extremely uncertain and hard-to-pin-down energy. The word "unhinged" comes to mind. Things flying loose. Extreme adaptations to changing conditions. Anxieties or dread nipping at us from multiple angles. Difficulty staying grounded or feeling safe in the material world.

We're required to put extra effort into stability, reliability, normalcy, routine, and personal traditions in order to come through this year in good standing, without being emotionally shredded or left in a shambles by the often-harsh energies. 

Both our emotional and physical anchors must be tended, reinforced, and protected throughout the year and particularly around the times when the Saturn-Uranus square is at its tightest.

Uranus in Taurus and More Unexpected Economic Justice for Bayer-Monsanto - or Is It So Unexpected After All?

 

Early on in the transit of Uranus in Taurus, we saw what I called at the time "unexpected (Uranus) economic justice (Taurus)" for the crimes against humanity, animals, and nature that have been committed by corporations Bayer and Monsanto, which merged in 2018 into Bayer-Monsanto. 

 

Roundup Lawsuits

 

We saw this economic justice in the form of hundreds of millions of dollars awarded through California courts to people who said their cancers (specifically non-Hodgkin's lymphoma) were caused by exposure to Monsanto's glyphosate-based herbicide Roundup.

 

The awards were later lowered drastically by the judges. 

 

Dewayne Johnson, 48, was originally awarded $289 million for compensation for his terminal non-Hodgkin's lymphoma. This was later reduced to $20.4 million.

 

Edwin Hardeman, 71, was originally awarded $80 million for his Roundup-caused non-Hodgkin's lymphoma, which was later reduced to $25 million. 

Alva and Alberta Pilliod, 78 and 75 respectively, were awarded $2 billion for their non-Hodgkin's lymphomas, later reduced to $86.7 million. 

 

There are more than 100,000 lawsuits against Bayer-Monsanto over Roundup-related cancer and illness. Unfortunately, many of the plaintiffs will be settling for far less than their injuries warrant. In early February, it was reported that Bayer has set aside $2 billion to settle claims, earmarking between $5,000 and $200,000 for each case. Class members will have the option of settling or suing. 

 

The hits just keep coming for ole Bayer, though. (Yes, please keep them coming.)

 

Shareholder Lawsuits

 

In late January, it was announced that two law firms are suing Bayer for damages on behalf of shareholders who say they should have been warned about the possibility of Roundup lawsuits at the time of the acquisition of Monsanto. The $63 billion takeover of Monsanto in 2018 has been called "disastrous" by one of the investor litigants. These lawsuits have the possibility of multi-billion dollar awards for shareholders.

 

Agent Orange Lawsuit

Bayer is also facing more litigation over Monsanto's production of Agent Orange, a chemical defoliant used widely by the U.S. government during the war against Vietnam. Agent Orange has caused terrible birth defects, miscarriages, still births, and lifelong health problems for people exposed to it - both the Vietnamese people and U.S. soldiers - and the effects of Agent Orange exposure continue to be passed on through their offspring.

Uranus in Taurus: the 5G-Driven "Smart Farming" Scheme as an Attempt to Make Farmers and Ranchers Obsolete on Their Own Land

As we move through the first month of 2021, Jupiter and Saturn are traveling in conjunction through the first decan of Aquarius. The exact conjunction of these two bodies, initiating a new 20-year cycle, was exact on December 21, 2020 at 0 degrees Aquarius.

Aquarius is a sign related to technology, science, humanity, communities, friendship, global elements, win-win scenarios, humanitarianism, eugenics, and social engineering, among other things. 

Saturn first cracked the seal on the sign of Aquarius from March 21 to July 1, 2020. This period coincided with the rapid rollout of 5G infrastructure in countries around the world as the powers-that-be attempted to cement (Saturn) a technological advancement (Aquarius) that would provide them with unprecedented control over human beings, human communities, and life and energy on the planet. In effect, this was a concrete attempted takeover by the Technocracy, pushing a brand of globalized, top-down social engineering that would "transform" our societies and lives without our permission. 

Saturn re-entered Aquarius on December 16, 2020 for a transit that lasts until March 7, 2023. Jupiter followed into the sign on December 19, 2020 for a year-long transit that lasts until December 29, 2021. With the addition of Jupiter in Aquarius, 2021 marks an attempted expansion of this technology-based control grid, along with lock-step advancement of Technocratic social engineering around the world. 

All this is being described in glowing terms by the telecommunications industry, government, and mainstream media, as a highly benevolent (Jupiter) and much-needed advancement (Aquarius) for human society. They also talk about it as if it's a done deal. It isn't. Far from it.

I've written about Smart Cities, Technocracy, and the importance of establishing our spiritual sovereignty in a recent article: Spiritual Sovereignty as the Long Game Ahead of the Next Saturn-Pluto Conjunction

The Saturn in Aquarius transit leads almost seamlessly into the Pluto in Aquarius transit (March 2023 to January 2044). Pluto enters Aquarius on March 24, 2023, just as Saturn exits the sign.

With Saturn and now Jupiter in Aquarius, we're getting a sneak peek at the deadly (Pluto) possibilities of technology (Aquarius). We're getting a sneak peek at the social engineering and control planned for the Pluto in Aquarius years, including Smart City and Smart Farm life with the Internet of Things monitoring, tracking, surveilling, and then dictating our every move and even thought. These sneak peeks are showing us something very ugly, very inhumane, and very insane. If we don't become consciously aware of this - with full Plutonic awareness - the ugliness, inhumanity, and insanity will only deepen, dramatically, during the Pluto in Aquarius transit.

The 5G grid is exposing us to horrifically dangerous levels of electromagnetic radiation, levels to which human beings, animals, and plants have never before been exposed. 

It is a proven fact that non-ionizing radiation causes biological effects leading to health damage and a staggering number of symptoms and diseases. You can see some of the studies showing this here, here, and here.

Let's be very clear about this:

5G exposure is making people sick.

5G exposure is killing people.

5G will continue making people sick and killing people as the levels of damaging frequency intensify. This is only the beginning of the utterly insane rollout of this global scheme. 

Electromagnetically sensitive people, the elderly, and people with underlying health conditions are the 5G canaries in the coal mine, but the effects will not be limited to these groups, especially not long-term. 

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. 

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.
