STATE OF THE PLANET UPDATE
“Consent”
by Isaac
March 10th, 2022

Greetings friends,

CONSENT –
1. if you give your consent to something, you give someone permission to do it. [formal]
Synonyms: agreement, sanction, approval, go-ahead [informal]   

2. VERB: If you consent to something, you agree to do it or to allow it to be done. [formal]
Synonyms: agree, approve, yield, permit   More Synonyms of consent


Just a scant 4 or 5 years ago the word consent became synonymous with the "#MeToo” movement. Everyone’s consciousness was focused on the scandals around major Hollywood actors and producers who had allegedly preyed on aspiring or established female and male actors alike. Suddenly men were on their back foot once again, surprised and a bit daunted by the onslaught on the male gender in the popular media organs. New workshops, books and a whole new branch of self-help therapies and therapists sprang up to educate us on the various intricacies and nuances of when “no” means no, and “yes” means yes. All the civilized world had a mirror held up to it. The ongoing paedophilia scandals involving the Catholic Church or other religious organizations, including many gurus and yoga teachers, suddenly took on new significance, and in some quarters, shocked followers and devotees of the “woke” communities.

Just about two years ago an alleged pandemic broke out, precipitating measures that few questioned or contested. My caveat here is to not make this article a lightning rod about the pandemic itself, or how it was conducted, but to illustrate what happened in such a short period of time after it was announced that it existed.

When the lockdowns, mandatory mask and social distancing measures were first imposed, dissent was virtually non-existent. We all happily and tacitly agreed and went along with these measures, basically because we were all scared out of our wits, and because our mammalian bonding instincts were being subtly manipulated. The clarion call was to do all we could to protect grandma and the kids.  All seemed to be working together to ‘flatten the curve”, as the worst seemed to be over.  By the autumn of 2020, the possibility ofreturning to normal looked feasible. Then, it took a downward turn in the last quarter. By this time, most had heard of the new generation vaccines that were due to be rolled out at the end of the year and in early 2021.  The governments, the medical experts and the media all seemed to be joined in lockstep to implement “Operation Warp Speed” and vaccinate the entire planet.

No one seemed to mind that this plan of mandatory inoculations was somehow out of bounds or seemed to violate anyone’s freedom of choice.  The idea of medical passports was even dismissed by government officials as something that wasn’t even being considered.  That was all about to change by mid-year of 2021.  By early 2022 one western European nation had made it a law that all its citizens had to receive this medical intervention, and many other countries used it as a condition of travel (medical passports) or to access social services and healthcare.  Oddly, the efficacy of those interventions is now under suspicion and in some cases, litigation. There are cracks appearing on many walls as more and more souls refuse to comply or give consent to any intervention into their bodies without, you guessed it, their consent.

Let’s go back in time a bit further…like a few decades. When the Internet appeared we all were fascinated with it’s potential to bring humanity together in harmony and cooperation, and how education and information processing would be transformed.  The first mass produced wireless technologies would follow on soon.  On the health risk/benefit side, the vaunted FCC (Federal Communications Commission) in the United States cited studies made during the late 1980’s and early 1990’s that wireless devices were benign and poised zero threat to our health.  Of course, they based their studies on those ancient Motorola handsets the size of bricks that some businessmen had in their cars. Little did we dream of things like the iPhone, Amazon, or online shopping. Little did we imagine what effect all of it would have on human consciousness or behaviours.
Now we see what it has wrought in many parts of our societies.

Like zombies in some dystopian science fiction film, people everywhere are walking, working, resting, and traveling around tethered to their smartphones and tablets.  Hardly anyone looks up anymore.  Hardly anyone notices how much they are living in their heads. We are being steadily transformed into digitally defined mental plane that is increasing our being out of touch with our bodies, our feelings, and emotions, and mostly inured to Nature Herself.  Was this planned or accidental?  Maybe both?  It most certainly has been taken advantage of and leveraged by the folks in Silicon Valley and elsewhere.  We cannot ignore this any longer.  The very idea of human beings even needing a soul, or a spiritual reference point is being called into question.  Witness this in the video I link here: https://youtu.be/NV0CtZga7qM

So, we come full circle to the issue of consent.  Giving permission for anything that directly affects your life, or those whose lives are meaningful and close to you, seems now to be superfluous.  Are all expected to just quietly acquiesce and cede their consent to whatever the “experts” deem is good for us and with no questions asked.  Have we, in such a short space of time and memory, become too docile and/or inept to think or look after ourselves?

I do not think for one moment that free will and consent isn’t important to you, or you wouldn’t be reading this, or asking questions about what is going on in our world, or actively participating in helping to heal yourself and others, or doing community building, or whatever it is your spirit directs you to be and do.  We will only have a say in the future we want to face if we use our power of yes and no consciously and effectively. Otherwise, we tacitly agree to what others wish us to be or do, and our lives become theirs by default.

This decade is a crucial period of letting go of what no longer does or can serve us spiritually and materially.  As such, the transit of Pluto in late Capricorn, and his ingress into the sign of Aquarius next year, is an emphatic and difficult call to die to an old way of being, and to an old world dying, and choosing a path that ensures not just mutual survivability, but mutual peace, prosperity, and happiness.  We must not rely on tech, or others, to do this for us, or save us.  Nor should we give them consent to do so.  If anything is a “tell” about the past two years, then bear witness to how many times opposing viewpoints to the dominant narrative have been forcibly silenced, de-platformed, derided, or even attacked.  Just for asking questions, or having an opinion?  In a supposed democracy that is a big “tell”.

What you give consent to matters.  What you give permission to be in your life is important.  It’s not about having total control over everything in your life, no one can achieve that.  We need to be remembering ways in which we can live and work harmoniously with the Tao, with the flow of Life.  You cannot do that while dancing to another’s tune.  Anything imposed on you without consent is a form of violence, and this world has a long history of enforcing rules and laws through intimidation, various types of coercion or blackmail, and if all else fails, by force.

You are here on this world by your own choice, your own consent, your own cooperation with your soul.  No matter what is happening in the wider world, and there is much that demands our focus and attention, try to always come back to what you have in your power to do in this moment, right now, to enjoy your life, your blessings, and your opportunities for joy and peace.

Your humanity depends on this. Your soul dreams about it.

Blessings on your journey,
Isaac

Synopsis: ​What's been happening? Pluto at 27 Capricorn. Although this episode won't be Astro-Issue heavy, it is worth mentioning the main catalyst or agent provocateur, but the main thing is how do you manage all the rapid firing crises arising, one after another. Staying calm is only one piece of the equation but staying calm and simply observing doesn't really alter the intensity of all that is unfolding. Perhaps that is because our over-exposure to information (propaganda) delivered through a disembodied medium like digital makes it too easy to simply disengage from our emotions, or to have our emotions easily manipulated to support one thing, and to denounce or renounce another. Maybe Russia's war is a distraction, or it may just be part of the End Game long planned to enslave human consciousness. In any case, how we deal with it all, and what how respond is ultra-important. Simply having some peace of mind and a feeling that it will all work out somehow would be welcome. Let's explore and search for solutions together. Peace, over and out.

“Groundhog Day Redux”
by Isaac
February 25th, 2022

"History Doesn't Repeat Itself, but It Often Rhymes" - Mark Twain (attributed)

“What is Past, Is Prologue - Marcel Proust”

Greetings friends,

I hope this finds you in a peaceful and serene place within yourself and your life, even in the face of what has happened since yesterday morning, and what might still unfold from now until the middle of March.  We are living in perilous times, and it’s still vitally important not to get too knocked around by global events.  Given the events of the past few years, that may sound like a tall order.
​
Like Mr. Clemens said, history doesn’t repeat itself, but it often rhymes. We astrologers see that all the time, so it does make sense most of the time. However, this may be just one shoe dropping for now. We have a New Moon in Pisces next Wednesday, followed by the almost precisely conjunct line-up of Mars, Venus, Pluto, and Vesta at 27 degrees of Capricorn on March 3rd. Jupiter in Pisces will be joined by the Sun on the 5th of March, while Venus and Mars will continue to travel forward in lockstep until they reach the Anaretic degrees (29) of Capricorn on the same day. Then on March 6th Mars and Venus arrive at Zero Degrees of Aquarius, which also reactivates that same degree in Aquarius the Saturn-Jupiter conjunction that transpired on December 21st, 2020. In a few short months, the whole drama around the vaxxed versus the unvaxxed began to unfold, so it will be very interesting to see how we act or react to the energies of the next 9-10 days.

Some astrologers also include the Centaurs (asteroids and minor planets) in the prognostications, and a few others include fixed stars. While I find those aspects both interesting and formidable, they don’t make of a dent in most people’s awareness about astrology. That doesn’t mean they’re not important though. It’s just easier to say that there are multiples of aspects with their own energy signatures flying around all over the place.

Even so, I personally cannot allow even astrology to get in the way of my awareness that real people get hurt or worse in wars. There’s been a huge amount of loss since way back in January 2020, when the Saturn-Pluto conjunction at 22 Capricorn christened the new decade with a gift no one in their right mind would want. Here’s where Mr. Twain’s quote fits in.

When I created the chart yesterday for the moment that Russian tanks crossed the Crimean frontier and entered Ukraine, it was immediately obvious that Venus and Mars were smack on the same degree in the same sign as Pluto and Saturn were just a bit over two years ago, on January 12th, 2020. There are no coincidences, only the appearance of coincidence. As I mentioned in my previous newsletter (Return to Sender – Feb 11th 2022), about how those in power utilize the metaphysical sciences to further their own aims? Well, this invasion may be another example of that in action. Or Putin acted from an subconscious urge? Either way, the die is cast, and we will see what unfolds as the days roll by.

I’ve included the relevant charts to the current and future timeframes, which I’ve already covered above in brief. I truly hope you can stay in your center, support your friends and family, and be supported in return. Maintaining quality connections with other people will be as important as tuning within oneself for guidance, understanding and peace.

When the going gets tough, I find myself in a place of deliberation about whether it is better to just breathe through adversity and wait for solutions, or instead to act and do something that may or may not contribute to actual change that has tangibility. Most spiritual traditions, especially Eastern ones, advocate a sort of spiritual version of “laisse’ faire,” or non-interference.

Of course, the mind would like to vacillate between these two polarities, it functions on a dualistic principle. Left-brain versus right brain, et al. However, what we may need to consider are the consequences of inaction, especially when we could be the difference, and even if it only positively affects one person. The concepts I am laying out here for your consideration may become ever more important in the months to come, so perhaps this is a good conversation to have with your spirit and heart.

Began to watch a film last night about a story from Japan, involving mercury poisoning of the water around a fishing village. If you’re interested, it is called “Minamata”. The crux of the film’s ethos revolves around getting involved in fomenting a positive change and ending a destructive process. Sometimes, our soul’s conscience simply won’t allow the suffering of others to go unnoticed, and we are compelled to act on behalf of those who cannot help themselves.

This is the nitty-gritty stuff of Life itself. The mother bear protecting her cubs from a predator, a man rescuing a woman from being mugged or raped, or one man standing up against a mega-corporation whose actions are causing illness or death. What about standing up against tyranny in any form? Is this a useless act from a spiritual perspective? Yesterday Bill Gates praised Australia’s lockdown methods as the way forward to deal with the next pandemic. I hardly think you will find most Australians agreeing with Uncle Bill. They endured the most dystopian of times on the flimsiest evidence. Do a little digging if you want to be aware of what’s happening down there…or don’t.

At the end of the day each one of us answers to our own conscience about our mistakes, whether of omission or commission. I have no opinion about that, and ideally self-examination is a very personal affair. In the words of Albert Einstein, “In the end, the world will not be destroyed by those who do evil, but by those who watch them without doing anything.” This from the man who also declared “I want to know the Mind of God, everything else are just details.”

Regarding all these upcoming whacky alignments, if you are hankering for something more in depth, please consider tuning in to my upcoming radio broadcast this Sunday. Details can be found just below, before the relevant charts.

I am taking a bit of time off next week, and there won’t be a State of the Planet update. Catch you the following week. May all be well with you between now and the Ides of March.

Blessings on your journey,
Isaac

​Show Synopsis: What do you want more than anything? Freedom, health, happiness, peace? Do those desires seem to be ever more elusive than ever these days? There are very good reasons for this, and even though it is reflected in the astrology of our times, it goes much deeper. There is a 4-way traffic jam coming March 2nd involving a New Moon in Pisces, the conjunctions of Pluto, Venus, Mars, Venus, Jupiter, Neptune and our Sun. It will last, ironically, until the Ides of March. Et tu Brute’!  So, the focus in this episode will be about our immediate environment on this planet, and how our consciousness is being manipulated and controlled in a strategic and invisible way that deepens the fog in our awareness or can even make us think we’re “woke” …when that too might be an illusion. We are living in an invisible web, and we should not try to fight it or fix it. We can only reverse it by deliberately returning to Nature and our sensory embodiment. Ironic indeed…to seem to go backward will propel us forward.

STATE OF THE PLANET UPDATE

“Rock Solid”
by Isaac
February 16th, 2022

Greetings friends,

I know I blitzed you with a ton of information and perspectives in my last newsletter a week ago, so there’s not much I can add to the detail around the USA Pluto Return coming up this Sunday, or much else that is of an astrological nature. You, my Dear Reader, are probably breathing a sigh of relief. Good.

I use to compose my articles the day after a night of unusual dreams. Downloads as it were. That hasn’t happened in a long time, the leftover impressions from the dreamtime spilling over into a blog, but it happened this morning in the early hours. I received a message, or impressions, about what the needed to be most said through me in this blog.

Here goes…

No matter what is or isn’t happening in the world right now, you and I and all of Creation is loved beyond belief. No matter what is or isn’t happening in your life right now, you are loved beyond belief. No matter what will happen or won’t happen, it does not matter…we are loved beyond belief. No matter what, we are that Love, and we emerged from that Love by choice-desire-curiosity.

None of us are an “accident” of the Universe, nor are you and I here because of some whim of The Fates. We have purpose in our Be-ing…even when we don’t feel like we’re fulfilling our believed or adopted purpose. Sometimes our egos hijack our purpose, or distort it, or diminish it. The rock-solid truth you can always rely on is that, in the end, the truth if this: you are Love/Loved beyond belief.

And no matter who you are, and even though you may feel alone at times, no one is alone…ever.

Now some of what I relate here will already be familiar to most of you, and you’ve heard it all before. If so, that’s great! However, I must honestly say that almost everyone I speak with these days is dealing with something challenging. The continuing agenda of separating humanity into two classes of people still ripples throughout the collective experience. We all know this is instinctively “wrong” but most figure there’s nothing one can do about it. Perhaps we are so wrapped up on keeping up with our own life and it’s complexities, focusing only on our own personal triumphs or tragedies. Nonetheless, this divisiveness is useful, in one sense. It awakens us to our own inner duplicities or divisions and can help us realize that this artifice we call our “civilization” or “culture” is unsustainable and running in place to fit into its imposed agenda is a zero-sum game.

Existentially speaking, it is all unsustainable. Fearing the unknown, we cling to the past masquerading as the present and hope that we’ll get to the “new normal” somehow. What I didn’t see or understand until late last week is how much of what we call “our experience” is imposed on our lives without our consent, so much so that the plans we make, the dreams we hold about what we want in our own soul’s experience takes a back seat within this “matrix” of sorts.

Is God/Goddess doing that? Well, trick question. Since we are inextricably part of God/Goddess, I reckon we all bear some responsibility, as we allow whatever this is to continue.  Some of us are acquiescing to the illusion and some are going “what a minute…that doesn’t feel right or good to me!” Remember, no matter what’s happening, somehow and at some point in the future it will all work out for the best.  You are always at choice in what you will or will not participate with. With what has happened and is happening, you have a choice in how you relate to it, and what you will or will not allow to continue in your experience.

We are infinite and eternal. Nothing is imposed without some level of tacit permission given…by you or me. Even if we don’t want this or that challenge in our lives to be occurring, it is there for a reason. Otherwise, it wouldn’t be there! Karmic or not, it is what it is. What is unfolding, including the so-called darkness and chaos, is part of the awakening/remembering/maturing process, and we are sharing in all of it.

We set up the tenpins so we can knock them down. The Universe suggests that we just don’t make a habit out of it. Then it turns into what we call “our karma”. Unconscious repetition isn’t evolution! Through it all we are still Love/Loved beyond belief.
The atmosphere is filling up with more uncertainties, chugging along in our peripheral vision, and/or intruding into our daily activities. As the old scripture says, “Fear not. Even if the mountains should slide into the sea, I Am with you, always.” That message is Love reminding us again that we…are…never…alone. There is nothing that is inherently within us, that doesn’t want to help.

True mastery doesn’t mean standing as a lone entity in the entirely of Creation, impervious and totally transpersonal. It also includes embracing all that is, and still not falling into forgetfulness of Who We Are beyond all form or circumstance. That is what being “rock solid” is, and that is what Spirit is…rock solid, always there…and everywhere. No judging, no punishments, no force or coercion, no dogma, or rules. Just Love, being Love.

Rock solid baby!

Blessings on your journey,
Isaac

​Show Synopsis: It is here…the main event of 2022. An elevated point of view and feeling fully grounded will be essential to fully comprehend how massive the changes ahead will be. I cannot predict exactly what the initiation or outcome of any event that manifests from the potent and irresistible force of the Pluto Return in the USA Natal Chart will be. I do sense that as with anything Plutonic it will be intense, and long-lasting. Since this celestial event is focused on the 2nd House of America’s birth chart, the emphasis will be on the theme of security and power, or lack thereof. It will center on money, currencies (fiat, digital and crypto), housing, food, farming, stocks, bonds, equities, futures, real estate, trading, and fertility. Also thrown into the mix will be secrets becoming known, revelations of official frauds and Ponzi schemes, and anything or everything having to do with the old control and power-over game. However, that will only be possible by renouncing that game and allow it to fade into the mists of time. Time for new beginnings.

​STATE OF THE PLANET UPDATE:
by Isaac
February 4th, 2022

Greetings friends,

Welcome to post Groundhog Day, Imbolc, and Mercury stationing direct (overnight). Welcome also to today’s potent conjunction of the Sun and Saturn at the midpoint (15 degrees plus) of Aquarius.

I ran out of time and gas trying to come up with a new blog this week. But fear not, I’ve provided a tidbit from one of the best astrologers on the planet (and a stellar investigative reporter and radio show host to boot!)

I feel this strikes the right chord for the energy today, with Sun and Saturn meeting up in the sky…

“Natural Limits and Boundaries

Saturn is the planet that represents natural limits. The Sun conjunct Saturn is calling for discipline and focus. Aquarius is the sign that represents humanity in the sense of what we do together in groups. The only way we can do things together is if we are not terrified of one another. We cannot be social when we all suspect one another of being disease vectors.

For two years, people have routinely been accusing their neighbors of being killers — not by negligence (absurd enough) but by intent. This is so grotesque I have no words for it.
Normally, humans think nothing of piling into commuter busses, the airport tram, or the Disney World monorail. We like to crowd into discos, parties, rock concerts and mosh pits, and used to be frequently found hugging one another, sharing food, and having cuddle parties. We pass around joints and share cigarettes with “nonsmokers” who want a drag for old time’s sake. We snuggle up on the couch.

Now our social patterns are shattered, and we are scrambling as a result. Social patterns means the fragile trust that we had in one another What is worse are all of the young people whose impressions of this scenario will last their whole lives.

Soon, we will need to watch fictional Netflix series for documentary evidence of how people behaved before they were suffering from phobias and mass delusional psychosis. You will not want to live in the world that this creates, though you may get to.  But we are fast approaching that and may have crossed the point of no return. The Aquarian angle of these patterns will take hold permanently if we allow them to. We are creating a world where it is now socially unacceptable not to be paranoid.”

Excerpt from Eric Francis Coppolino’s latest post, “Our Come to Moses Moment”: https://planetwaves.net/our-come-to-moses-moment/
 
My return to the airwaves on Kindasound Community Radio this Sunday echoes some of the themes in Eric’s post, in which I’ll also be sharing a few pertinent personal history facts, along with a view to galvanize momentum towards rebalancing our perspective about the world outside our front doors.  Acting will become more appropriate, once we’re well past the Mercury Station, and today’s confab with Sun-Saturn. 

Peace,
Isaac

Synopsis:

After an almost 3-month absence I return to the airwaves. It will be good to be with you all once again, to reconnect. This will be a storytelling and truth-sharing kick-off for my new season on KindaSound, and anniversary show if you will. It is a new year, but it is also quite apparent that many of us are struggling deeply with feelings of disconnection, loneliness, ostracization, despair, troubled relationships, health crises, and a sense of futility. Feelings of being cut off from others, especially at a time when we are being divided into two distinct levels or classes of people by outside authorities, is taking its toll. Depression, self-harming, substance addiction and suicides are on the rise. So are life-threatening illnesses like cancer. What can I do, and what can we do? We can reach within and reach out to those who feel dispossessed. I have some ideas for acting, because as much as good thoughts and good intentions are a good place to start, the only effective change comes from acting, especially from our Truth Core.

“Endings and Beginnings”
by Isaac
January 14th, 2022

Happy New Year (of the Tiger?)

​For my first article of 2022 I had intended to discuss some of the more significant Astrology and Energy events for the second half of the month of January.  As usual, the Universe sometimes has other ideas, and all it takes is one or two events not looked for to change one’s outlook and direction.  I will address what that event was in brief, then attempt to describe the Energies of the moment as succinctly as I can.  Remember…what I offer is only an opinion, and whatever information or guidance I supply must either resonate in your being somewhere, or not.  If it doesn’t vibe with you, chuck it out the window!

Right after New Year’s weekend I decided to not launch myself back into my myriad projects and unfinished business that had been dogging me since before the Christmas break.  Instead, I opted remaining quiet and observe what has been going on inside and outside of myself.  There was just zero impulse to push or make anything happen…at least not yet.

Then, this past Monday morning I received word of the death of a very close friend whom I met during my days of living in West Cork, in the south of Ireland.  She was a vibrant, engaging soul, with a winning smile and loads of intelligence. She worked at one of the only two health food stores in the area and was super knowledgeable about diet and supplements.  She eventually went on to study and get a degree in nutritional coaching and natural medicine and had a thriving practice in her hometown.

My marriage was faltering at this time, and we shared all the usual ups and downs about love, relationships and so on.  She was in and out of relationships during this time, and we provided a sounding board and support for each other which was treasured.  We also laughed a lot over delicious coffees and Irish scones.  In any case, after my separation I moved back to the U.K. and she went on to live part-time in the south of Spain, doing a lot of her health consulting work online.  Then the pandemic and lockdowns ensued, and things changed quickly.  She came back to Ireland, and basically got stuck there.  We had been in regular contact all last year, and I last spoke with her about two weeks before Christmas.  There was no indication of anything being amiss.  Exactly 30 days passed between that conversation and her death. 

​My partner and I both knew her very well, so we are still reeling from the sudden shock of her passing.  The suddenness of someone’s death is always a blow, especially when someone is as young, vibrant, and infinitely kind and compassionate as she was. It also gets you to focus on what is essentially important. The details and business of life looks somewhat banal and meaningless by comparison.  Strangely enough, I had just finished reading a book a few days before this sad news that is all about death and dying.  It’s entitled “Home with God” by Neale Donald Walsch.  I highly recommend it to anyone who desires a different perspective and deeper understanding of this touchiest of subjects. 

Of course, I went looking for any clues in her natal chart that might shed light on her death but came away mostly unsatisfied.  However, the energies that we currently are experiencing have been somewhat less frenetic and at the same time a bit wobbly. In that vein I will attempt to provide some insights as to what we can expect going forwards from today until the first of February.  But before I do so, I would like to invite anyone who feels so movedto offer a blessing for my friend that passed on this week, and to send healing and comfort to her family and the multitude of friends and grateful clients she had.  I was one of her clients during 2021, and her assistance was a key to my recovery from a serious health issue.  Her name was Alison, from Cork, Ireland.  Thank you for your thoughts and prayers.
​
People are being born on this planet every single minute and dying every single minute.  It is part of ‘What Is So’.   To come to grips with one’s mortality is a heroic and necessary part of living, and we don’t give near enough attention to this part of our journey.  No single person’s death is insignificant, nor is it random, no matter what the manner of passing they’ve chosen.  Taken as a whole, it is important to acknowledge that we would do well to acknowledge death not as a curse, but as a rite of passage that is part of our coming into the wisdom and remembrance of who we really are. At some point even death will cease to be held in fear.  The need for dying will itself will also vanish once we have reached a particular stage of reunion with our Source Consciousness. This is where every soul is bound, no matter how long it might take us.

 The Energy Recap – January 14th to January 31st, 2022:

The astrological weather has now gone from being rather subdued to becoming very jumbled and uplifting, all at the same time.  Mercury will begin its first retrograde journey of 2022 today, reversing direction at 11:40 AM GMT at 10 degrees of Aquarius, and conjunct (close) to Saturn at 14 Aquarius.  In fact, by the time you reading this, it has already begun.

​Between now and February 3rd the Winged Messenger will travel backwards through the early Aquarian degrees into the Earth sign of Capricorn, before turning around and heading back to where it started at 10 degrees of Aquarius.  All Mercury Retros take about 9 weeks to complete.  The shadow phase about two weeks prior to the retrograde point, then the 3 weeks or so for the actual backwards journey, then two more weeks to traverse the degrees forward till he arrives back at the starting gate.  We get four Mercury Retrogrades this year…very unusual!

During this retrograde Mercury will conjunct Pluto at 26 and 27 degrees of Capricorn.  A relentless digging to unearth some truth will be happening, collectively and individually. If you have any natal planets hanging out between 25 degrees of Capricorn to 10 degrees in Aquarius, Leo, Pisces, or Virgo, you’ll get to see what gets lit up in your blueprint.  Also, and I am serious about this, Mercury Retrogrades ask us to examine what we’re thinking about, and why, and if there’s any truth still in those thoughts. We can take this opportunity to put more emphasis on our intuition and feeling natures, rather than simply rely on the monkey-mind in our left-brain. 

It also is a good idea to back up data, check your anti-virus update status, avoid starting a new business or enterprise, sign any important documents, or make any big purchases that involve electronics or vehicles.  Purchasing land or a home?  If possible try to postpone signing anything until early February.  Again, work with the energy consciously…and don’t panic if you must buy a new toaster or something like that. Just do what is necessary without anxiety or pushing. 
​
On Monday the 17th we get a real corker of a Full Moon.  Sun and Moon at 27 degrees of Capricorn and Cancer respectively.  Just before that happens, the Sun and Pluto well team up on the 16th.  Then on the 17th at approximately 11:37 PM GMT the Sun, Pluto, and Juno conjunct each other, and Juno gets up close and personal with the Moon.  This will be an interesting mix with the emphasis on several disparate issues.  The Sun energy is about core identity, Juno about preservation of traditions – especially regarding families and couples, and Pluto, the Lord of Death, whose archetype represents relentless growth and transformation through letting go of anything that no longer serves us…willingly or not!  All that energy is harnessed behind the Nodes of the Moon, and opposite the Moon in Cancer (see chart below). 

​This chart is very wobbly, without any symmetry or balance.  Hence the Moon becomes the recipient of a load of conflicting energies from Sun, Pluto, and Juno.  It may feel like our egos experience multiple ego deaths of one degree or another.  Again, if you have any sensitivity to all this look for any planets or angles in your blueprint that are at or near 26 degrees of Cancer, Capricorn, Aries, or Libra.  All of these signs are in the Cardinal elements, so it may feel more pressing and stronger than usual.  Of course, the energies of Capricorn and Aquarius are at present defining the feeling that our space is shrinking. Tyranny or draconian agendas are trying to get firmly entrenched, just hoping that the extreme levels of fear being generated will force compliance to “the rules.”  I will provide you with new data over the next few weeks that counterpoint and countermand these impulses, along with my interpretations of what we need to be paying attention to, as well as what actions we can take as individuals to preserve our freedom to choose how to live the lives we want to live, and to establish and strengthen our commitment to health and healing on all levels of our experience of being human…and divine, and part of this planet and the Cosmos.

The third biggie is two days later, when Uranus finally turns direct in the sign of Taurus. Uranus has been idling along in backwards motion since turning Retrograde on August 19th, 2021.  Having this archetype-energy of unpredictability and revolution turning around in the energy of Mercury Retro and a punchy Full Moon will give us that same kind of thrill as that moment you get just before the roller coaster tops the first big hill and begins its descent on the far side. Thrilling, but you may feel a bit white-knuckled by the sudden acceleration.  This energy is the proverbial unforeseen monkey wrench in the works.  Watch for possible shifts in global financial or commodities markets.  I always recommend the Solari Report or Trends Research Journal for analysis and updates that make sense and possess a high degree of integrity.
​
Lastly, next week’s marathon includes the Nodes of the Moon changing signs from Sagittarius-Gemini to Scorpio-Taurus.  Since Uranus is in Taurus, and Pluto is also in the Earth sign of Capricorn, the Nodes will stimulate those two outer planets significantly over the next eighteen months or so.  The North Node in Taurus will trine Pluto on February 6th, and conjunct Uranus August 6th this year.  There are many more aspects that the transiting Nodes will make to inner and outer planets, but these two dates I’ve provided may stand out large.  The archetype of Taurus represents in symbolic form the themes of tribe, primary partner, sex for procreation and pleasure, fecundity, planting the crops, food growing and distribution, natural resources, money or modes of exchange, home and shelter, clothing and implements and in short anything that has to do with security and comfort.  Scorpio resonates with acquisition, issues of power with or power over, Life, Death and Sexuality, legal proceedings, wills, inheritances, legacies, property, mystical practices and secrets, desires, obsessions, passions, and simply getting to the bottom of things.
​
After these events take place, the Sun moves into Aquarius on the 20th of January, and then just five hours after midnight on February 1st, we get a New Moon at 12 degrees of Aquarius, conjunct Saturn at 15 degrees of Aquarius. This for me is of those testing points, on what sort of Aquarian Age will we choose. A human one, or a transhumanist one. We will have to wait and see what we present to ourselves and what the world presents to us after the events of next week. On February 1st the Chinese New Year begins in the sign of the Water Tiger. Grrrr...

Summary: We have two very strong allies in the skies during all of 2022: Jupiter in Pisces and Chiron in Aries. The Jupiter effect is to expand and amplify, throw blessings around, and in Pisces encourage us to seek a deeper spiritual connection within ourselves and our Planet. It is a gentle and loving hotline to Home, to Spirit. 

Chiron in Aries will be reminding us to that we are all individual expressions of the Divine, and that we possess the authority over what we allow or do not allow.  Chiron was the outcast, the loner, and so it may feel like that for anyone who is personally resisting mandates and the intense coercion to comply with outer authority or herd mentality.

Perhaps mass demonstrations and protests are useless.  Perhaps each one of us standing in our power of "no" is the way to go.  A perspective worth investigating and pondering for sure.  There are many people throughout our history who embodied this quality of spirit: Rosa Parks, Martin Luther King, Gandhi, Nelson Mandela, Robert Kennedy, Malcom X, the hunger strikers in Belfast prisons during The Troubles in Northern Ireland.  Individuals and small groups of people who demonstrated courage in the face of overwhelming opposition, and at great personal cost to themselves.  Will we dare to follow in their footsteps?

Solar Activity:

From Spaceweather.com – “SOLAR CYCLE UPDATE: Solar Cycle 25 is heating up. New sunspot counts from NOAA confirm that the young solar cycle is outperforming the official forecast. monthly value at the end of December 2021 was more than twice the forecast, and the highest in more than 5 years. The "official forecast" comes from the Solar Cycle Prediction Panel representing NOAA, NASA, and International Space Environmental Services (ISES). Using a variety of leading indicators, the Panel predicted that Solar Cycle 25 would peak in July 2025 as a relatively weak cycle, similar in magnitude to its predecessor Solar Cycle 24. Instead, Solar Cycle 25 is shaping up to be stronger. Sky watchers have already noticed the change. "We are definitely seeing the effects on the ground in the Arctic!" reports Chad Blakley of the Swedish tour guide service Lights over Lapland. "Auroras now are the best in years." – Data courtesy of Spaceweather.com.​

I cannot report any hard data at this moment regarding interstellar influences per se, such as the Schumann Resonance fluctuations or gamma rays coming in from deep space. However, I am aware that we are experiencing massive influxes of energy that perhaps originates from other dimensions of parallel realities.  Coupled with the end of the Long Count Mayan calendar and end of time (as we’ve known it), and the turning of the great ages from Pisces to Aquarius, we are all being offered a new set of choices.

What we do with these intense times in response to the many forms of stimuli we are receiving is still hanging in the balance. There are many serious and pressing issues we face as a species. Will we have the courage to do the right thing, and choose Life – an organic and dynamic state of being while having a human experience, full of light, health, equanimity, and joy?  Or will we submit and succumb to the will of others, or other forces, that seek to enslave and dominate?

We are coming to a time of many endings, and a time of many new beginnings. I am feeling quite optimistic about it all.  I would just prefer the transition to be a lot less full of uncertainty, pain, and suffering.  I hope you feel the same  way as well.

Blessings on your journey…

Peace,
Isaac
