Eggshell Powder as a Calcium Supplement

With the North Node of the Moon in traditional Taurus (conjunct Mercury Rx) and Earth Mama dwarf planet Ceres newly in Cancer (May 16 to July 24), there's a focus on simple, basic home remedies and folk remedies that utilize whatever you have lying around the house to cure what ails you or your family. This is a quick and easy recipe for making your own calcium supplement at home.

 

Making your own eggshell powder is a good calcium supplement for people who can't take vitamins in pill form. (Or for people who are cheap!) The powder is calcium carbonate. 

 

Directions:

 

Use organic eggs or farm eggs that are au naturel. 

 

Save about a dozen eggshells. Wash the egg white out of the shells before saving them, and leave them out to dry. 

 

Spread the shells in a pan with the inner part of the shell facing up. 

 

Put them in a low temperature oven (200 to 225 degrees Celsius) for about 20 minutes or until they're dry and crispy.

 

(Some people boil the shells in a pot of water before putting them in the oven, but I put them right in the oven.)

 

Break the shells up into small pieces, and grind them in a coffee grinder or with a mortar and pestle until they are a fine powder.

 

Sprinkle about half a teaspoon of powder into your food as a supplement. I usually eat it in hot chia cereal or in quinoa. 

 

You can adjust the dose as you like, but don't go overboard because too much calcium can create kidney stones.

 

(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.

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... 

Mercury Retrograde in Gemini/Taurus: Carving Out the Right Mental and Verbal Boundaries in Highly-Divided Times

Communication and intelligence planet Mercury stationed retrograde this morning in its own sign of Gemini. Mercury will go retrograde from 4 degrees Gemini to 26 degrees Taurus from May 10 to June 3, 2022. 

Mercury will station direct at 26 degrees Taurus on June 3 in a conjunction to the North Node of the Moon at 22 degrees Taurus and in an opposition to the South Node of the Moon in Scorpio.

Mercury entered the retrograde shadow (the degrees to which it will return during the retrograde period) on April 26. This makes the period from April 26 to May 10 particularly juicy, as we will be going back over the conversations, communications, and connections we've experienced during that period of time. 

The movement of the winged messenger indicates a period when we are gathering bits and pieces of information to shore up, support, and fortify our perspectives. This is a transit and retrograde where we're strengthening ourselves in our ways of thinking and our worldviews, connecting with others of like mind. But it is also a time when we're putting the right boundaries in place so that we can maintain congenial social relations with those who hold mindsets and views that are very different from our own.

We're backtracking now, working to put new mental and verbal boundaries in place in our societies and social relations that align with the shifts, changes, and upheavals we've experienced in these areas over the past couple years. We're learning how to more successfully "play to our crowd." We're learning about which topics we can discuss with which people and also which topics are better to just leave off the social docket altogether. Mercury retrograde is a more contemplative time when we're more careful and moderate about the words we put out into the world.

Gemini is a sign related to duality or even to multiplicity. Because Gemini is a sign related to the gathering of information, opinions, angles, and perspectives, it is a sign that can accept and operate within two or more realities at the same time. 

The reality on Planet Earth at the moment is that we are very divided along lines of perspective, thought, and opinion, and these divisions (many being intentionally manufactured and inflamed) are having some nasty effects in our societies and societal interactions (Gemini).

There is an ongoing attempt to enforce certain top-down ideas, information, or ways of thinking on the whole of humanity, and of course, as Gemini knows, this will simply not work. We have never fully agreed on this planet - except maybe when we agree to disagree. Aside from the very basics, human beings have never come to a purely homogeneous way of thinking, and as long as we maintain biological human status, it's unlikely that we ever will come to this state.

This is part of what we must accept and successfully work with during this Mercury retrograde in Gemini/Taurus and beyond.

We're looking to create rock-solid boundaries that will withstand and contain the contentious and hyper-charged energies of the times. Maintaining respectful mental and verbal boundaries is our challenge, but we are being tested mightily on this front during the Mercury retrograde process. 

We are in the midst of a quite-unsettled eclipse season, which began with a New Moon at 10 degrees Taurus conjunct Uranus on April 30. We're now moving to the peak point of the lunar cycle - a Full Moon total lunar eclipse at 25 degrees Scorpio on May 15 that will occur conjunct the South Node of the Moon at 22 degrees Scorpio. (This lunar eclipse will be visible throughout most of Canada.)

The South Node of the Moon in Scorpio is an astrological indicator of the highly-charged emotional and psychological subtext of the times. It contains all the molten lava, the trigger points, the battle lines, the places where things can get very ugly if we aren't oh-so-careful and respectful of the "enough's enough" points. 

There is also a caution, however, about attempting to eliminate (Scorpio) certain information, perspectives, or awareness simply because it is uncomfortable. The Scorpio terrain exists, and it is important. Attempting to amputate, sever, bury, deny, or censor the underlying Scorpionic realities will simply not work. The strong influence of the Scorpio South Node indicates that these attempts will backfire. With the South Node of the Moon in Scorpio activated under a Full Moon total lunar eclipse, karma is an even bigger bitch than usual...

We're creating the right social boundaries with a full awareness of societal reality, including the differences and divisions. Pretending these differences and divisions do not exist will create a very weak and shoddy social foundation, indeed - one that will not support successful societal relations over time.

So we're looking to create the right boundaries while acknowledging and respecting the points of contention and division. With the Sun, North Node, and soon Mercury in Taurus, there is social value beyond the sticking points. People, relationships, and society are valuable, and this must stay at the forefront. We're looking to preserve and reinforce the social fabric that supports us all while respectfully acknowledging the points where we are very much on different sides of the fence.

Mercury stationed retrograde at 4 degrees Gemini this morning, and the Sabian Symbol for this degree is:

A Radical Magazine or Publication, Asking for Action, Displays a Sensational Front Page

This symbol speaks of a charged mental environment, along with the necessity for potent information that spurs action. Information is flying around fast and furious within this charged environment. The Mercury retrograde station activates this degree of Gemini for an extended period of time, and the energy and themes indicated by the Sabian Symbol are then drawn into the entire Mercury retrograde process. 

The Sun and Mercury Rx form a conjunction at zero degrees Gemini on May 21.

Mercury then re-enters earthy Taurus on May 22 where it will remain until June 13. The movement back into slow-and-steady, security-conscious Taurus indicates a requirement to properly ground the charged energy so that we can continue to re-build (Taurus) rather than destroy (Scorpio) our social contacts and social lives. 

Mercury will station direct at 26 degrees Taurus on June 3, and the Sabian Symbol for that degree is:

An Old Indian Woman Selling Beads and Trinkets

This is a much more mellow symbol, a more grounded symbol. It indicates the congenial relationships of local commerce and their importance in creating stability, regularity, and routine. It also indicates the ability to carve out our own terrain, our own niche, within the broader society and marketplace.

We don't all agree. This is plainly obvious. But we've never all agreed. Our divisions have been intensely inflamed over the past two years, but they are nothing new. 

We've found a way to get along in the past despite our wildly different ways of thinking, and this has most often involved respecting the rights of human beings to hold their own thoughts, perspectives, and opinions and to live by their own worldviews. You don't infringe on me. I don't infringe on you. 

Carving out and reinforcing this respect might be a more challenging process than usual under current conditions, but this is some of the work being laid before us during this very charged Mercury retrograde and eclipse season. 

You might disagree with the way I think. I might disagree with the way you think. This is OK. This is the way it's always been on this planet. The problem comes only when one group of people feels it can force its views and ways on another group of people. 

That's where the boundaries and respect come in, and these are things we must very carefully tend as we navigate highly-charged and highly-divided social scenarios. With the North Node in Taurus as our guiding North Star, we're attempting to find the points where people can be comfortable in each other's company, despite differing views. 

Again, finding the societal comfort zone within the current conditions is a challenge - a bigger challenge than usual - but it is also the most successful path through. 

If we cannot achieve the right boundaries, the right space, and the mutual respect for differing views, some of our social contacts could be coming to their natural conclusions at this time, but the primary goal is to build successful, mutually-supportive, and boundaries-conscious social frameworks if this is at all within our power. 

We will defend the right to hold and to live by our own views if necessary, but in general, we're moving away from a state of constant battling (South Node in Scorpio) and into a state of easier social stability and comfort (North Node in Taurus). This is necessary for our mental and emotional health.

Mercury will re-enter its own sign of Gemini on June 13, leaving the retrograde shadow and moving into new mental territory and more grounded mindsets on June 18.

Cell Tower and 5G Dangers - Please Oppose Residential Cell Tower Installations and the 5G Rollout in Your Community

 

 Graphic: Valerie Jacquemet

 

We’ve known for decades that people experience ill health when living and working around cell towers, but this knowledge is being ignored in the rush to roll out 5G (fifth generation) technology worldwide. 

Politicians and representatives of the telecommunications industry paint a picture where the aesthetic ugliness of cell towers and resulting lowered property values could be the only objections from the public. This is very far from the truth. People all over the world are fighting to have cell towers removed or blocked, and they are opposing the rollout of dangerous 5G technology. 

What follows is some of the information showing health damage caused by cell towers and wireless radiation: 

California School District Turns Off Radiation from School Cell Tower After Fourth Student Develops Cancer – March 13, 2019 

Link: https://ehtrust.org/fourth-student-has-cancer-parents-demand-removal-of-cell-tower-from-ripon-school/

““Four students and three teachers at Weston have been diagnosed with different forms of cancer since 2016. In addition, two preschool-age children living near the school have been treated for a malignant tumor and leukemia, and a Modesto family says a 22-year-old former student of Weston underwent surgery last year for a brain tumor.”

Ripon California School District officially asked Sprint, the wireless company to remove the cell tower from the elementary school after four students and three staff developed cancers. As of March 28, 2019 the antennas have been turned off. 

Families have been calling for the removal of a cell phone tower at Weston Elementary School since 2017 when several students and staff developed cancers. Now that yet another student has developed cancer in 2019, parents demanded the tower be removed. The March 2019 school board meeting was packed in opposition to the cell tower and the meeting was widely covered by press. Parents stated they are holding the school board accountable. 

On March 15 2019 Ripon Unified placed a revised statement on their website formally asking Sprint Communications to remove the cell tower from the Weston Elementary campus. They are asking Sprint “to relocate or decommission the tower as soon as possible.””

Fire fighters won the right not to have cell towers affixed to their fire stations due to the adverse health effects. So why are 5G cell towers being placed near schools, daycares, libraries, churches, businesses, and residences?

In 2004, the International Association of Fire Fighters (IAFF) passed a resolution opposing the installation of cell towers on fire stations. This resolution was passed after increasing complaints from fire fighters about the adverse health effects they experienced from cell towers affixed to the fire stations. The complaints included experiences of sleeplessness, headaches, memory problems, and cognitive impairment. A 2004 brain study of California fire fighters exposed to cell tower radiation over the previous five years showed brain abnormalities, cognitive impairment, delayed reaction time, and lack of impulse control. The resolution eventually included a moratorium on cell towers being placed on fire stations in the United States and Canada. 

The IAFF resolution: “The IAFF opposes the use of fire stations as base stations for towers and/or antennas for the conduction of cell phone transmissions until a study with the highest scientific merit and integrity on health effects of exposure to low-intensity RF/MW radiation is conducted and it is proven that such sitings are not hazardous to the health of our members.” 

Lewis Currier, 29-year L.A. county fire captain, speaking in 2016 about the dangers of cell towers and the antiquated and inadequate government safety standards on electromagnetic radiation.

Link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S7w10bFeVAk 

Currier: “I’m speaking today against the cell towers that are being installed at our fire stations for the health and safety of the residents and the fire fighters who live there. The problem we have in this country today is the absence of adequate recommendation standards, and as a consequence, the corresponding standards that are being used are not applicable to the world we live in today. The FCC safety benchmarks…are antiquated and industry-controlled. We’ve all seen in the past how industry-controlled standards has worked in other industries in the examples given today such as tobacco, chemical fire retardants, etcetera. This is a classic case of the fox watching the henhouse. 

Hundreds of Studies Indicating Health Damage from Fluoride Exposure

A compilation of known health effects and associated studies can be found at FluorideAlert.org

 

Fluoride exposure has been linked to health damage and to the exacerbation of underlying health conditions including: arthritis and joint pain, kidney dysfunction, thyroid dysfunction, endocrine disruption, cardiovascular damage, softening and de-mineralizing of the bones (osteomalacia), increase in bone fractures, skeletal and dental fluorosis, neurotoxicity and cognitive effects, lowered IQ in children, gastrointestinal disorders, calcification of the pineal gland, diabetes and blood glucose regulation problems, cancer, oxidative stress, and male reproductive damage, among others.

It's important to note that there is no conclusive evidence of the universal safety of water fluoridation. 

Fluoride accumulates in the body over time. This means that even tiny doses can accumulate and cause health damage over time, especially if people are exposed daily via fluoridated water. People with kidney or liver dysfunction or other detoxification problems are at an increased risk for toxic fluoride accumulation in the body.

People at greater risk of health damage from water fluoridation include: 

- fetuses and babies

- children

- people with arthritis, joint problems, or skeletal or dental fluorosis

- people with thyroid dysfunction

- people with chemical sensitivities

- people who have been injured by fluorine-infused pharmaceuticals or have a family history of these types of injuries 

- people with ADHD, autism, or other cognitive issues linked to chemical toxicity

- people with cognitive decline

- people with diabetes or blood sugar regulation problems

- people with sensitive kidneys or kidney dysfunction

- people with hindered detoxification

- people with a personal or family history of heart disease

- people with a personal or family history of cancer

 

This is a sampling of studies and links showing health damage from fluoride exposure:

Jupiter in Pisces and Picking Up the Long, Long Historical Fight Against Fluoride Poisoning

Anti-fluoride community bulletin board campaign...commenced!

I put these posters up on the bulletin boards in my condo complex, and someone had taken them down in both buildings within three hours. A new record! I knew they would be coming down at some point, but three hours was impressive, even for the Censorship Brigade. Highly prone to hypocrisy, the Censorship Brigade left a poster hanging that was advertising a Christian church event that involved a politician as the keynote speaker. (Religion and politics all rolled into one poster!) I put the anti-fluoride posters up a second time, and pointed out this hypocrisy on the bottom of my poster.

 

Pisces is one of the signs of the zodiac associated with poisoning, especially poisoning that is invisible and dispersed or dissolved widely in water. The radioactive poisoning of the Pacific Ocean via Fukushima nuclear fallout is an example of this type of invisible, widely-dispersed poisoning of water. The poisoning of public water supplies via fluoridation is another example, and it's this example that I'm, unfortunately, working with intensively these days. 

Just before I relocated to the city in which I'm currently living, Regina, Saskatchewan, the City Council here voted 10 to 1 in August 2021 to add fluoride to the city's water by 2025. 

Near-simultaneously, the City Council in Calgary in the neighbouring province of Alberta, voted 13 to 2 in November 2021 to add fluoride to the water there.

Now, I find it impossible to believe that fluoridation of the cities' water supplies became such an important issue - just organically, spontaneously, and near-simultaneously coming up in both these cities - during a pandemic when there were many more pressing issues for these Councils to address. 

Indeed, I smell outside, top-down influence here, as fluoridation of public water supplies is supported by the Alphabet Agencies and by those who are influential within those agencies. (The information shared at the link above appears to have been scrubbed by Soros' Open Society Foundations website.)

These sneaky and snaky votes on fluoridation - made by these City Councils while people were distracted, distressed, and traumatized by a pandemic as well as the criminal mandates - created a situation where it was impossible to bring together a cohesive opposition ahead of the votes. Ahead of these votes, people were being forcefully "socially distanced" and were being entrained to fear human contact of any kind. It also bears mentioning that these votes were snuck by, under the radar of most of the public, following decades of opposition to fluoridation in both cities. According to long-time residents here, Reginans have voted no on fluoride four times in the past.

That said, poisoning the water supply is a crime. Poisoning just one person is a crime, let alone thousands of people. It doesn't matter if local governments decide it's a good idea. It doesn't matter if a majority of the population has been deluded into believing it's a good idea. Poisoning the water and forcing people to ingest fluoride, daily and against their will, is wrong. It is a crime. Period. End of story. 

We've known fluoride was toxic for decades now, and I had naively believed no Canadian government could be so misguided and deluded as to vote in fluoridation of public water. 

Oh, how wrong I was.

March 11 Marks the Eleventh Anniversary of the Ongoing Fukushima Nuclear Disaster

Today is a bit of a sobering day every year as it rolls around. March 11, 2022 marks the eleventh anniversary of the beginning of the Fukushima nuclear disaster. What people need to be aware of, first and foremost, is that this crisis has never ended. It has never been stopped. It has never been cleaned up. It continues to release toxic radioactivity into the environment and into the Pacific Ocean, in addition to the massive loads released early on. The current containment and clean-up methods are partial, stop-gap, and highly problematic, to say the least. This is still very much an ongoing nuclear crisis.

I wrote an extensive article last year on the tenth anniversaries of both the Gulf of Mexico oil/Corexit disaster and the Fukushima nuclear crisis, which I will link to here. I think it's one of the stronger articles I've written in my 14-year career as an astrology writer.

Jupiter in Pisces Puts a Spotlight on Spiritual Law: Inborn Freedom of Conscience

 

Jupiter transiting Pisces indicates a period of time when spiritual (Pisces) law (Jupiter) is in the spotlight. 

Jupiter first dipped into earliest Pisces from May 13 to July 28, 2021. Jupiter re-entered Pisces on December 28, 2021, and it will transit the sign until May 10, 2022. Jupiter will slip back into latest Pisces for one final concentration point, for one final sweep of the Cosmic Spotlight over late Pisces, from October 27 to December 20, 2022 before moving into Aries for good. 

Jupiter in Pisces is illuminating many aspects of spiritual law during this transit, including the inborn or God-given rights of biological human beings such as: freedom of thought, freedom of speech, freedom of conscience, freedom to choose and practise our spirituality (or lack thereof), freedom of association, freedom of peaceful assembly, freedom of movement, personal autonomy over body, mind, soul, and spirit, freedom to protect ourselves from harm, autonomy over our homes and the land on which we live, freedom to work, freedom to pursue happiness, meaning, and satisfaction in life, freedom to be peaceful, freedom of privacy, freedom to know and pursue the truth, and freedom to reject the authority of anyone or anything that contravenes or threatens these sacred rights and freedoms.

The transit of wounded healer Chiron in Aries (2018 to 2027) has a particular theme of human rights and the painful infringement on those rights, including via a health-based rationale. Jupiter transiting Aries (May 10 to October 27, 2022 and December 21, 2022 to May 16, 2023) will put a spotlight on all these rights-related issues, making them even bigger and bolder. 

It's imperative that we know our rights under spiritual law during Jupiter in Pisces so that we can actively defend our rights and the rights of others from such infringements during Jupiter in Aries. There will be an expanded (Jupiter) requirement to fight for our rights (Aries) as biological human beings, including body autonomy, privacy, and medical choice (Chiron). 

Jupiter will form one exact conjunction to wounded healer Chiron on March 11, 2023 at 14 degrees Aries, but the Jupiter-Chiron conjunction will be within orb for most of the transit of Jupiter in Aries. Asteroid of hearth and home, Vesta, will form a triple conjunction on 14 degrees Aries at the time, along with Jupiter and Chiron. This indicates a background that involves a long, historical fight for these rights against those who would infringe upon them. It also indicates a major investment of time, energy, and resources in this historical fight, and we will be drawing on this investment for support in the present-day battles. We'll be taking tips from those who have fought these same battles in the past.

Jupiter-Chiron-Vesta conjunction at 14 degrees Aries - March 11, 2023

With Jupiter moving from Pisces to Aries this May, it's important to understand the difference between inborn, inherent, or God-given rights and the version of rights that are encoded in man-made law. As we have seen, the rights encoded in man-made law are being removed by governments that have given themselves the right to do so with some fancy legalese footwork and "emergency orders"...

The inborn right I'd like to focus on today is: freedom of conscience. I think this freedom has been infringed upon particularly egregiously over the past two years.

One of the many inborn rights we have as human beings is freedom of conscience. This means we are free to live according to our own consciences and understanding of right and wrong as long as we are not breaking spiritual law. Freedom of conscience is an inalienable right, inborn in each biological human being. This right is not granted to us by any external authority on Earth, and it cannot be taken away from us by any external authority on Earth. 

No one has the right to force you to live in contravention of your conscience. We can only be stripped of our inborn rights and freedoms, including freedom of conscience, if we willingly give them up.

Ay, there's the rub.

One of the problems with the current global scenario is that people are being intentionally misled and/or coerced into going against their own consciences and sense of right and wrong. 

People might go against their consciences - going along with things they know deep-down are wrong - to maintain employment, relationships, power, public status, social approval, or other perks that come with following the crowd and adhering to dominant narratives.

People can also have their natural consciences interfered with by bad information or partial information. In this case, people believe they're doing the right thing, but only because they've gotten some very bad intel and don't have a full understanding of the situation. These people are basically tricked, manipulated, or duped into giving up their moral compasses and the right to live by their own consciences.

Some people find going against the crowd and the dominant narratives more challenging than others, and it's possible this could be visible in their astrological make-ups. 

Certain signs, like Capricorn, Cancer, and Taurus, are more tradition and authority-minded and might find it difficult to disobey authority figures or to rock any boats. 

The sociable and social approval-conscious air signs (Gemini, Libra, Aquarius) can definitely have a bit of a "go along to get along" theme. These signs might be more willing to talk out both sides of their mouths, depending on the audience, in order to maintain social harmony and acceptance. They might be more willing to go along with the crowd simply because they fear rocking any boats or ruffling any feathers. The conflict-averse among us can justify quite a lot in their efforts to avoid confrontation or other social unpleasantness. 

In my observation, the sign of Aquarius can be particularly conflicted when it comes to the dueling desires for social acceptance/status and the autonomy to do its own thing in the world. As we are now moving into stronger Age of Aquarius themes, with Saturn currently transiting the sign and Pluto entering the sign in March 2023, acknowledging these conflicting desires is important as we move forward.

While the sign of Aquarius is known for being open to the unconventional, even to the straight-up odd or weird, there is also a strongly conservative element of this sign that desires social and public status, approval within the group. Traditionally, Aquarius was ruled by status quo-loving Saturn. It wasn't until the 1800s that Uranus was assigned to Aquarius, opening a new chapter for the sign that involved more of the avant garde - edginess, shake-ups, shocks, upsets, and general revolutionary breaks from the status quo. 

Saturn is currently transiting Aquarius (March 22, 2020 to March 7, 2023), and we're all challenged by the dueling desires and conflicted nature of this sign, as well as the effects these dueling desires have in our communities. During this transit, we're challenged to build a community and a world around us where we can follow our consciences with the least amount of friction, opposition, or difficulty possible.

The only way we can truly be free on this planet is by following our consciences. Going against our consciences to maintain approval, acceptance, privileges, or rewards is, ultimately, a controlled and orchestrated existence. 

There are consequences that come from going against our consciences, even while in a state of delusion or mass (masked?) psychosis. If you are a believer that the soul or spirit continues after physical death, you know that these consequences can follow us even after we've left this Earthy life. 

Though Jupiter can definitely be associated with bad situations being made even bigger and badder, this planet is generally considered a beneficial influence, referred to as the Greater Benefic. Jupiter is currently shining its light on the spiritual laws that underpin life on this planet. This gives us the opportunity for greater understanding of spiritual law on Earth so that we can align our own thoughts, behaviours, actions, and choices with it.

As mentioned in a previous article, we will be tested and challenged on our understanding and application of spiritual law, including freedom of conscience, during the upcoming transit of Saturn in Pisces (March 7, 2023 to February 13, 2026). Saturn is a planet that brings concrete consequences to us that we must work our way out of, step-by-step, over time. Saturn is a planet related to lessons, including hard lessons, that result in increased maturity and experience. 

Just as Saturn enters Pisces on March 7, 2023, Jupiter will be forming the triple conjunction with Chiron and Vesta at 14 degrees Aries, exact March 11, 2023. Pluto will also enter Aquarius on March 24, 2023. It's all connected. It always was, and it always will be. 

We've just experienced a New Moon at 12 degrees Pisces on March 2. This New Moon was tightly conjunct Jupiter at 14 degrees Pisces, and it initiated a lunar cycle (March 2 to April 1) that involves expanded awareness of spiritual law and its application in our daily lives. At the time of the Pisces New Moon, Venus, Mars, and Pluto were tightly conjunct in late Capricorn, and Mercury was exactly conjunct Saturn at 18 degrees Aquarius.

We're encouraged during this lunar cycle - and during the comparatively benevolent transit of Jupiter in Pisces - to get right with our consciences and moral compasses and to live in alignment with these things, even when this creates social or professional waves. There is long-term power and protection in doing so.

Jupiter relates to the truth, and we are tasked with diligently seeking the truth in a world of illusions, deceptions, half-truths, and lies (Pisces), being expertly pumped into the collective ethers daily by the various pyramid schemes of power on this planet. 

Again, there are consequences to doing the wrong thing, even when you were under the mistaken impression that it was the right thing. There are consequences to falling for schemes, scams, and mirages, even when we fell for them in a state of innocent ignorance. Even in this state, there are admissions to make, corrections to make, amends to make. There is expanded awareness to embrace so that the same mistakes don't happen again.

Saturn is bringing up the rear in the sign of the fishies beginning in March 2023, and it will be grinding us on every neglected detail. 

To put yourself in good standing, make sure you're willing to accept any consequences then, under Saturn in Pisces, for the stances and actions you take now, under Jupiter in Pisces.
