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

An excerpt:

1962

 

February 1962: 7-planet stellium in Aquarius - click to enlarge

Sun, Moon, Mercury Rx, Venus, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, and South Node of the Moon

Lesser Benefic Venus and Greater Benefic Jupiter are tightly conjunct.

This chart is the New Moon total solar eclipse at 15 degrees Aquarius on February 4, 1962. This was heralded as the beginning of the astrological Aquarian Era. We can see this as an early propulsion into stronger Aquarian energy and themes but still with a strong Piscean Era overlay.

This New Moon stellium followed the conjunction of Jupiter and Saturn at 25 degrees Capricorn on February 19, 1961.

 

2021

  

 February 2021: 6-planet or 7-body stellium in Aquarius - click to enlarge

Sun, Moon, Mercury Rx, Venus, Jupiter, Saturn, and asteroid Pallas Athene

Lesser Benefic Venus and Greater Benefic Jupiter are exactly conjunct.

This chart is for the New Moon at 23 degrees Aquarius on February 11, 2021. We can see this as an anchoring or foundational point for the astrological Aquarian Era, building on vision and energetic threads coming from the 1962 New Moon eclipse and stellium. In 2021, we have come out of the most intense “one foot in, one foot out” overlapping transition time between the astrological eras. We are now officially being established on Aquarian Era soil. The separation of the ages has occurred, but unlearned or unheeded lessons from the Piscean Era must be immediately integrated if we are to avoid problems or even full-on catastrophe.

The New Moon stellium in Aquarius on February 11, 2021 follows the Jupiter-Saturn conjunction at zero degrees Aquarius on December 21, 2020. 

 

2080

 

February 2080: 8-planet stellium in Aquarius - click to enlarge 

Sun, Moon, Mercury Rx, Venus, Ceres, Jupiter, Saturn, and Uranus

Lesser Benefic Venus and Greater Benefic Jupiter are exactly conjunct, and both bodies are in applying conjunctions to Saturn.

As you can see, with no bodies in Pisces or in water at all, the Piscean Era is moreso in the rearview mirror under the 2080 Aquarius stellium. The version of life on Earth we see here is dependent on many things, including how well we’ve protected the spiritual energy, principles, and wisdom of Earth since the Aquarius stellium of 2021. Which version of the Aquarian Era do we see in 2080: a free humanity independently meeting its own needs and fostering its own well-being, including via technological advances, or a controlled humanity with technological shackles, even merging our biological human forms with machines or other technological elements?

The Jupiter-Saturn conjunction occurs at 11 degrees Aquarius on March 15, 2080, just after the formation of this 8-planet stellium.

 

Amazingly, in all three of these large Aquarius stelliums – 1962, 2021, and 2080 – Greater Benefic Jupiter and Lesser Benefic Venus are tightly or exactly conjunct. The meeting of the benefics indicates good will in all three charts. These Aquarian threads that connect us through time, space, and location have their roots in love and benevolence toward humanity and the human community. These threads are about the importance of relationship and friendship, the importance of the social fabric as it sustains us through the eras. These threads connect those of like mind who have compatible ideas and also those of like heart who have shared love for this planet and for the living things here. These threads connect those who share a heartfelt dream for humanity and for life on this planet, people who have cherished and preserved this heartfelt dream no matter what their era. These threads are about a shared concept of human potential, as well as a willingness to create the conditions that can realize that potential.

These charts with Venus and Jupiter conjunct show a love for humanity and for all life on this planet that is timeless. They show a shared dream and a shared vision that span the eras. Anyone who has lived on this planet and loved this planet is connected at the heart. This is real love, real brotherly and sisterly love, reflected in the beautiful astrological symbology of these charts. We live, we have lived, under the same sky, connected at the heart as Venus and Jupiter conjoin brightly in the heavens. We live or have lived under these stelliums, so similar in energy and make-up. You can never step into the same river twice, but experiencing life under stelliums like these might be as close as it gets astrologically.

A Re-Activation of the Jupiter-Neptune Square Themes - How to Spot Controlled Opposition: Reclaiming the Energy, Passion, & Effectiveness of the Resistance

How to Spot Controlled Opposition: Reclaiming the Energy, Passion, & Effectiveness of the Resistance
 
 
 
This article (after the break) on How to Spot Controlled Opposition was first posted on the blog on November 18, 2019, and it has now been compiled into a zine, available at Etsy.

I wrote this guide when Jupiter was in Sagittarius (truth, dogma) forming a series of three square aspects to Neptune in Pisces (illusions, fog, deception). The Jupiter-Neptune square was strongly in effect from late November 2018 to mid-November 2019 and indicated a primary theme of determining what is real and true from what is illusory and deceptive. 
 
As written about in a previous article, we are now experiencing a re-activation of the themes of the Jupiter-Neptune square with transiting Neptune in Pisces in square aspects to the nodal axis as we close out 2020 and begin 2021. These squares will be exact January 26, 2021
 
Tricky and karmically-loaded "truth versus deception" themes are particularly indicated by the square between Neptune in Pisces and the South Node of the Moon in Sagittarius. We're addressing manipulation of truth, knowledge, public education, medicine, religion, and spiritual wisdom that has been going on for millennia. We're addressing the ways in which humanity has been blinded and fooled for generations, and this often has an esoteric, sinister occult, or pseudo-spiritual element.
 
Neptune in Pisces square the Gemini North Node and Sagittarius South Node indicates truth and perspectives that have been kept invisible within the broader discourse - which perspectives are acceptable and which perspectives are kept out. Truth and perspectives that are mocked, vilified, or attacked. What people believe and how this has been shaped, manufactured, or manipulated by forces that are deceitful or less than fully honest, including mass media.
 
These themes will be further intensified, potentially dramatically, throughout the month of December as the Sun, Mercury, and then Venus transit Sagittarius, forming conjunctions to the South Node and squares to Neptune in Pisces. The Sun makes these aspects on December 9 and 10; Mercury on December 13 and 14; and Venus on December 30 and 31.

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.

Self-Taught Astrologers Vs. Standardized Astrological Education

This article was originally published on the blog on October 19, 2009. Jupiter, Chiron, and Neptune were in Aquarius at the time, and Aquarian energy and themes are just about to be ramped up again as transiting Jupiter and Saturn move near-simultaneously into the sign of the water-bearer next month. 

Different philosophies/teachings/wisdom (Jupiter) pertaining to groups, communities, vision, and future propulsion (Aquarius) will be at the forefront in 2021 just as they were in 2009, and I think this article is just as relevant now as we move into this Aquarian infusion (Jupiter, Saturn, and then Pluto in Aquarius) as it was nearly one full Jupiter cycle ago. I've updated it a little for re-publishing here:


Self-Taught Astrologers Vs. Standardized Astrological Education

I'm a self-taught intuitive astrologer. It's been a relatively short but sometimes brutally intensive course of study. Books, internet, astrology message boards, practising on people (sorry people!), and daily observation of transiting planets were the main avenues I took.

The ideas and techniques of other astrologers have certainly influenced the development of my own astrological take (as I've influenced others), but there is no one who can take credit for my personal astrological analysis or perspective. I worked hard for it, and it's mine.

I haven't learned from any one astrologer or any one course of study and didn't take formal courses at an astrology school. This was not necessarily because I didn't want to - at least in the beginning. I was open to the idea. It was moreso that it just wasn't in my stars, so to speak, to learn that way. Initially, I didn't have the money to take classes or courses, so I learned on my own. Then I realized this was actually the way for me to go - choosing my own course of study, bit-by-bit, as an autodidact and letting my particular practise of astrology come into existence on its own terms.

I think for people who are meant to access it, astrology is inherent in a lot of ways. One day you start to read it or hear about it and it just means something to you. From there, a process is triggered by which it is drawn to the surface, into conscious, day-to-day life. It feels as if you've always had the knowledge inside; it just takes a while to fully develop the language and techniques used to access and express it.

I think a do-it-yourself (DIY) style is fairly common among astrologers, and as a Plutonic punk/anarchist astrologer myself, a DIY path would be particularly apropos.

At the same time, it's also fairly common to take a specific course of study under specific astrologers as teachers, including at established astrology schools.

My view is that it depends entirely upon the individual which way of learning is preferable. To each his/her own. I wouldn't suggest one way of learning astrology is better than another or makes a person more of an astrologer. A mix of formal classes and self-study would be a potent way to learn, but again, it depends on the situation and the means available. It depends what's in the stars and what's in the bank account, what you have access to and whether you have the expendable fiat currency to throw down for it.

From what I can surmise, the majority of the most publicly established and lauded professional astrologers are upper-middle class or at least very comfortably middle class. They've had the means to pay for astrological education from established astrology schools - often more than one school - or even to set up astrology schools of their own. They've had the educational, networking, and promotional opportunities that come from jet-setting around to astrology conferences and retreats all over the country or the world. They've had a financial cushion as they established their professional astrological careers. Maybe most importantly, their similar economic statuses and experiences in life have shaped their perspectives so that they are "acceptable and respectable" according to the dictates of the broader astrological establishment. Their views and astrological interpretations are harmonious with the middle and upper-middle class scene and would most likely not hit a sour ("negative," "fear-based," "lower vibration") note within that group of people - at least, not a serious one.

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.

Neptune Stationing Direct in Pisces and a Visit from the Seven Neptunian Dwarves: Sleepy, Dreamy, Dopey, Spacey, Foggy, Swirly, and Wispy

Neptune is slowing for a direct station at 18 degrees Pisces on November 28 (4:37 p.m. PST), concentrating its energy and themes.

You know what that means! It just might be time for a visit from one (or more) of the Seven Neptunian Dwarves: Sleepy, Dreamy, Dopey, Spacey, Foggy, Swirly, and Wispy. 

(I'm fine with calling them the Seven Neptunian Little People, but that doesn't go as well with the fairy tale...)

Neptune is the planet associated with, among other things: dreams; spiritual communication and guidance; bliss; unity; divine love; psychic abilities;
sublime artistic ability; spirits; hauntings; isolation; illusions; delusions; mental illness; the unconscious; surreality; escapism; rose-coloured glasses; oceans; fluids; flooding; permeation; blind spots; fraud; deception; despair; and addictions.

Any of these elements could be heightened during a Neptune station.

Neptune is stationing direct in tight square aspects to the North Node of the Moon in Gemini and the South Node of the Moon in Sagittarius. This indicates a strong spiritual presence or guiding force as we make our way through these increasingly-surreal times. The strong "spiritual guiding hand" remains a theme through the rest of 2020 and into early 2021, as the square aspects from Neptune in Pisces to the nodal axis become exact on January 26, 2021.

With Neptune in Pisces so influential over our soul-level GPS system (Nodes of the Moon), we're drawing strongly upon our divine connection and the presence of the spiritual as it permeates and plays out in our day-to-day. Neptune stations can be times when we feel particularly connected to the magic flow of life, uplifted by the sublime beauty and wonder of being alive on this planet.

Mercury, Venus, and soul mate asteroid Juno will be in Scorpio in the days surrounding the Neptune direct station, and we could be doing release work through our dreams, particularly related to the release of prior relationships. 

Our dreams could be more prophetic than usual, influencing our waking life and general states of mind. 

On the other hand, Neptune stations can (temporarily) bring a lingering sense of loss, disappointment, or despair, and we must be very careful not to spiral down into these less-pleasant Neptunian realms - a major caution under the current planetary conditions. Neptune and Pisces both relate to prisons and institutions, and the various states of "lockdown" being experienced on this planet could really drag people under. Neptune stations indicate times of increased sensitivity which can include a feeling of being lost in the harsh material realm, unsure of where to go next and uncertain of the value of what we've experienced or done on this planet thus far. 

With hundreds of millions of people worldwide having been thrown into financial insecurity through the ruination of their own businesses, the closure of their places of employment, or the disruption of other economic activities, the feelings of loss, confusion, and despair could be overwhelming under this Neptune direct station. 

En masse, people are experiencing the acute loss of a dream - even the simultaneous loss of many interwoven dreams - as their businesses, employment, homes, bank accounts, social lives, and travel plans are dismantled without their consent. Again, this Neptune station indicates a time when people could be dragged under by the weight and seeming hopelessness of all this. 

Please check in with those in your circle, and do what you can to keep spirits up. 

Watch the over-use of alcohol or drugs to numb difficult circumstances. This can be particularly dangerous when Neptune is strong.

Human beings have survived worse than this, and we'll survive this, too.  

Neptune and Pisces relate to the ways in which we are invisibly connected through time, space, and location. No one is suffering alone, and we might be surprised about who we share kindred-communion with during these times. 

Turning our minds to spiritual matters is one way to buffer ourselves from the current orchestrated conditions. The strong presence of Neptune in Pisces brings a requirement to acknowledge the temporal nature of this material life. The essence of life goes on, lives on, is never extinguished. The things we suffer on this material plane are only suffered temporarily. This might provide small comfort, but it is comfort, nonetheless!

The Final Jupiter-Pluto Conjunction in Capricorn as Mars Stations Direct in Aries: A Resurgence of "Medical" Martial Law and Health-Based Control Tactics

According to a letter posted on the school website, schoolchildren at Broadgreen International School in Liverpool, England will be Covid tested by the British Army in a pilot project beginning November 9. Every child and adult will be given a barcode, and the school will "secure" the child if positive results are obtained. It is not clear what this entails.

This is an early element of the 5G-driven program of global health tracking, tracing, monitoring, and surveillance currently being implemented worldwide under the guise of "public safety."

The army is also going door-to-door to homes in the UK to test people.

Update November 8: This article has come out reporting on mass testing schemes in Liverpool and three other English cities to be carried out by the army. There are plans to extend the schemes (and true schemes they are) to Wales and Scotland and potentially further, as this is being called a pilot project. The mass testing in the U.K. is being called Operation Moonshot - more militaristic terminology to add to "Operation Warp Speed" in the U.S. and "5G deployments" worldwide, as well as "lockdowns," a term used in prisons.

Let's recall that the Covid-19 virus has not been purified/isolated, and the PCR test being used was never designed to diagnose viral illness. The results are near-meaningless with a majority of false positives - potentially all false positives - with 40 amplification cycles or higher. In light of the fact that Covid-19 has not been isolated, how are we certain that any of the positive results indicate Covid-19 infection? You can read additional information about the PCR test here. Dr. Thomas Cowan talks about the amplification cycles used with the PCR test in this video.

Broadgreen International School is not getting parental permission first as they usually would. In this case, if you wish for your child to opt out of Covid testing, you have to make a written request.

I can't imagine the fear and trepidation felt by schoolchildren as they see the army roll into their school to line them up for Covid testing. It's something out of a dystopian novel, but unfortunately, this is real life. 

This is a pilot project, meaning governments will most likely be attempting to roll this out in schools around the world. This type of mass testing is also a precursor to the military-backed global rollout of the fast-tracked, experimental, synthetic messenger RNA vaccine which will admittedly alter our genetic material in a permanent manner, potentially creating unintended and detrimental effects in the body.

Active resistance and opting out are necessary.  

What follows is a (very poorly-written) letter from Broadgreen International School in Liverpool, England to parents and carers of children. You can see it on the website under the November 6, 2020 "Important letter from Headteacher about Covid testing in school": https://www.broadgreeninternationalschool.com/parents/letters-home

Mars in Aries Retrograde 2020 and the Gift of Self-Possession


 

"Mars in Aries Retrograde 2020 and the Gift of Self-Possession" is an article available to Willow's Web Astrology patrons.
