STATE OF THE PLANET UPDATE:

“Endings and Beginnings”

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

Greetings of Peace,

Hope this finds all of you feeling well and peaceful.  In this message I have some personal thoughts to share, as well as perspectives that reflect the current energies.  We have big doings a little over a week’s time from Black Friday. There will be a total Solar Eclipse (New Moon) at 12 degrees of Sagittarius at 07:41am GMT on December 4th, 2021. It will be conjunct the Great Attractor at 14 Degrees of Sagittarius.  This event marks the end of the eclipse seasons for 2021 but is by no means the end of significant Astroevent for the rest of this year. December is brimming with change energy. I will have a super ginormous article about the Eclipse energies and what follows in next Thursday’s edition, so watch for it.

We have been experiencing very powerful energy shifts for the past while, and even though the outside world seems even crazier and chaotic than last week, it is especially important to remember that there's much beauty in this world to feel thankful for.  There’s also much to fight for. For those of you in North America who celebrated Thanksgiving Day yesterday, I hope it was a warm and wonderful experience.

I have decided to take at least a two-month holiday from hosting my radio show, “Revealing the Mysteries” on Kindasound.org.  I need to pull back and quit being so busy and spend more time in quietude and contemplation.  My last show for this Sunday, November 28th was recorded today. For detailed information please see the poster, synopsis and links below.

The other reason for my decision is that I have some music projects that I have been meaning to get to and need space in which to unplug and let the Muse speak. This also means fewer newsletters and done more spontaneously. May even do just podcasts and drop in an audio player in the newsletter, as well as publish them on my site and on other podcasting platforms like Apple. Bottom line I think it is healthy for all of us, when possible, to go into retreat or sabbatical mode, to have respite from the news, the obligations, etc. Even if you can only do it for one day out of half a month, it can be immensely restorative. There is a mystic wisdom in doing less, or nothing at all. I am slowing down the beat, and the tempo is being set by my spirit.

I will continue working and offering mentoring and astrological coaching services. I have some special holiday pricing available for all services as well, and they will be in effect until January 6th, 2022. For more information, please click here.

Optionally you can book a free call with me to explore your specific needs. Please click here to arrange to speak with me.

Note: I will be going on annual holiday from December 20th and will return on January 3rd, 2022.  I will not be available for readings or consultations during this period, but I am happy to arrange bookings with you for January and beyond.

Wishing you a vibrant, magical and joyous holiday season and break, and may Life be kind and generous to all of you. Thank you for sticking with me through these times…you are all such amazing and lovely beings.
​
Blessings and love,
Isaac

Completion and a New Beginning – Full Moon in Aquarius, Sunday, August 22nd 2021

​By Isaac George
August 19th, 2021
 
Well, I’m back…sort of. Technically still on sabbatical until Monday, August 23rd, but there are too many things popping that need some attention. The main one is the upcoming second Full Moon in Aquarius in less than a month. It bookends with the one that occurred on July 23rd at the 1st degree of Aquarius. This Sunday, the 22nd of August, the second one will be at the 29th degrees of Leo and Aquarius. The famous (or infamous) Anaretic degrees are compelling moments in any astrology timeline.Here’s an excerpt from The Dilemma of the 29th DEGREE: Thor’s Hammer or a Cornucopia? by Eileen Nauman, DH(UK):
 
“Astrologers know that from 0 through 28 degrees, we, as individuals, have ample opportunity to work on our stuff, work through it and change it.  “Work” is defined here as our emotional and toxic wounds that we’ve accrued usually through childhood or in our twenties.  And they have to be healed.  In other words, we have choice.  And since we are down here to grow, the 29th degree is around to ensure that we do what is needed for ourselves–even if we don’t want to do it for a host of reasons (fear, lack of confidence, lack of faith in ourselves, etc.).  The 29th degree is there to ensure we WILL do it.  Or, if we’ve been running away from a lot of emotional garbage that we’ve refused to own–well guess what?  It’s all going to come back to haunt you in that 29th degree.
 
The 29th degree from a medical astrology standpoint is a loaded keg of emotional toxic ‘dynamite’ that has been ignored for some time, even decades, and it’s sitting there ready to explode.  When we have suppressed or repressed emotions, this will translate over time into actual physical, mental or emotional dis-ease.”
 
That’s Eileen just getting warmed upon the subject of the Anaretic degrees…
 
Continued –
 
“Of course, people have free will choice and if they elect not to try and heal their own wound, they ignore it.  [For example] they can ignore Saturn transits from 0 to 28 degrees of that sign.  However, when it hits the 29th degree, that person is going to have the Cosmic Hammer come down on him or her.  The 29th degree is a last-ditch attempt to draw the person or experience to this individual so they can get to work on discharging the toxicity they’re carrying inside themselves.  And so, calamity hits this person with a sledgehammer.  It can be a loss of a job, the spouse wanting a divorce, having to move to another state or country, the death of a spouse or child or parent.  And the list goes on…but the list of things that can happen are life changing for that individual. And that’s the power of the 29th degree coming in and confronting the individual who doesn’t want to do the work for whatever the reason.  No reason, frankly, is worth avoiding our own wounding.  If we drew that wound in this incarnation, it’s up to us to work through it.  In working through it, we learn, grow and mature and yes, perhaps even evolve, because of our efforts.”
 
Now I know that you who are reading this may not have any particularly sensitive points in your own soul blueprint (birth chart) for this incarnation, but that doesn’t mean one is totally out of the woods. You and I share in the collective awareness of the soul of humanity and of the planet, so we are not immune to the knock-on effects that that can have in our personal spheres. That said, this Full Moon is akin to an initiation…for the whole human race.
 
The little-known dwarf planet Sedna is currently also at the 29th Degree of Taurus and is being squared by the Sun and Moon at 29 Leo and Aquarius this Saturday. Some say that Sedna represents the soul’s destiny and has a hand in illumination and new consciousness. Sedna’s orbital path takes over 11,000 years to complete one revolution around our Sun, and she is way out there beyond the orbit of Pluto, so that last time Sedna was parked at the last degree of Taurus was at the end of the last Ice Age. Sedna was a goddess of the sea and intuitive feelings that belongs to the Inuit Indians of the Arctic regions.
 
She entered Taurus in 1965, just as the USA civil rights movement, the Vietnam War, and the rise of the hippie era all commenced. A big shifting in human consciousness to be sure! It’s also worth mentioning that Uranus and Pluto had just entered the element of Earth just about the same time when they both conjoined in Virgo. Sedna enters Gemini in 2024, around the same time that Pluto enters Aquarius. Sedna in Taurus could be one of the factors in the rise of the digital age since 2003, but when she gets into Gemini, it might signal a new rising of human consciousness, but one not tied to artificial intelligence or binary sciences.
 
At the unconscious level Sedna can represent victimization, illness, alienation, trauma, and suffering. At the conscious level she can foster profound acceptance, including of how bad things currently are, transcendence, keeping one’s heart open no matter what, and having a sense of humour.
 
With the Sun and Moon underpinning the archetypes of Leo and Aquarius, and squaring Sedna, I feel that we are being offered an initiation. One that can work best if we consciously choose to fully individuate into our sovereign truthful selves, while realizing and cultivating our innate spiritual connection to the elements, especially water (feelings) and earth (the body). This will be the choice point offered: evolved humanity not dependent or enslaved to digital technology, and a groundswell of consciousness opening not only to the higher cosmic influences, but also the divine influence right under our feet…and our noses!
 
Finally, in summary, allow me to offer the last part of Eileen Nauman’s brilliant essay on the 29th Degree:
 
THE CORNUCOPIA SIDE TO THE 29TH DEGREE:
 
“There is a positive side to the 29th degree as I wrote earlier. Think of it as a cornucopia of goodies just waiting to be given to you.   If you have done all your homework on yourself and done your best to discharge your toxic dump of emotions, then the 29th degree will leave you alone.  Instead, something “nice” will happen to you instead.  It might be a time of joy spent with your grandchildren, your friends, or relatives.  Or you attend a workshop that inspires you.  Perhaps you sign up for creative schooling, such as painting, learning to write or learn to dance.  It can be a simple as a wonderful lunch with a friend or a warm phone call from someone you love. Or it could be big, like a raise, a new job, a book being sold, being rewarded monetarily or in many other ways.  It will be a ‘lull’ in having to always do your inner work.  It’s Cosmic Gift Time, instead.  A pat on the head by the Cosmos that you’ve done the dirty work and succeeded.  Then, the 29th degree becomes a time of well-earned happiness in your life. And, as always, the choice of how we want to deal with the 29th degree is ours!”

The biggest issue of the day boils down to the fact that what is transpiring on the planet these last 2 years is only made possible by our immersion into the dreamspell of the digital domain. There is a simile to hypnosis and collective groupthink underway, exacerbated by the Saturn in Aquarius transit that promotes the group over individuation. True spirituality is about individuation of divine consciousness in the human experience. The mystic Edgar Cayce was asked during one of his trance sessions to describe Christ Consciousness. His reply was “to know thyself to be thyself, yet one with All That Is.” 

Our task, as I see it defined in reflection of Sunday’s Full Moon in Aquarius, is to define who you are not by what the crowd says you should be, but who you really are and how true to that you will be. We are all being tested and testing ourselves. Let us rise to the occasion and say choose non-compliance with anything that offends our soul and spirit, and say yes to that which is sourced in love, truth, wisdom, empathy, the spirit of cooperation, and harmony with All That Is.
​
So be it!!

On the next episode on my “Revealing the Mysteries” radio program I have Renee S. LeBeau, back again for Part Two of “Acoustic Alchemy. We will be talking with her about her newest album release, “Sophianic Symphony”, which is being debuted on the program and coincides with the Full Moon in Aquarius. Potent times indeed! Hope you can join us.

Today as I was preparing to go for my almost daily bicycle ride, I stopped to glance over at one of our two rose bushes. They are planted in a small strip of ground between our living room window and the fence, and in previous years they have not been doing so well. Poor weather is usually the culprit here in the British Isles, but forgetting the rose food is also another factor. However, during the past 3-4 weeks, they have not only been producing a prodigious number of blooms, but they’ve grown over 6 feet in height!

As I gazed upon the unique orange blossoms, I thought that how easy it is to become inured to the beauty that is so close by somewhere. For a moment in time, all my personal thoughts faded into the background, and so did all the world’s tumultuous activity. Here it was just my consciousness taking in the beauty in front of me, and I became lost in a serenity that there are no words for.

Seems we take so much for granted these days, and most of us are so preoccupied that we just don’t really take in what is right at hand in our lives. It is one thing to look, it is quite another thing to actually see what it is we’re looking at. A mere thought about the to-do list, or a worry or three, and we are turning away from the miracle in front of us and exchanging it for another task, another obligation, and another round of problem solving. If you are an entrepreneur, most likely you live that experience 24/7, and barely come up for air. Marketing, tech hassles, virtual staff issues, grumpy clients…where does it end? When does the good life begin?

It can begin when we choose to slow down enough to take stock of ourselves, check and see if we’re occupying our body instead of hovering near it, and exercise our sovereignty diligently so we honor our own feelings and space to be as we are. Yes, I know…there are obligations a plenty. Working for a paycheck with a family to support during the upheavals of the past 17 months has been a grab bag of stress. Or perhaps you or someone you know has a health condition, or a psychological one. None of this we are experiencing is easy, and we can be so focused on survival mode that we overlook so much that there is to appreciate.

I have a very good book about spiritual seeking call “Doing Nothing” by Steven Harrison. It’s focus is on the modern quest for enlightenment and peace, but many of his perspectives could easily be applied to more mundane matters. The other book which I have not read, but recently ordered, is entitled “How to be Idle” by Tom Hodgkinson. The Puritan work ethic, or the work ethic imposed by a jealous God in the Old Testament (“…by the sweat of thy brow shall you earn your bread…”) set the human race on a high-stress path of exertion with a future promise of reward and comfort. The entire dogma of the Abrahamic religions is centered on a perfect hereafter, if we are all good boys and girls that is.

What is discouraged more today then ever before is that to be idle, or decide to withdraw from the Rat Race, is to be a reactionary. Someone who is anti-societal, and not to be trusted. For a raw example, read this recent article about loafing in China that appeared in the Guardian UK.  In China it’s becoming a “thing” and they call it “lying flat”.  
​
At this New Moon in Cancer take an inventory about your own life. Where do you over-commit? Where do you over-give? How do you cope with low grade anxiety or moments of high stress? Are you happy and peaceful, or anxious and fearful? Are you in your body, and loving your body, or not?

Here’s something to ponder - when there’s a lot of cortisol pumping through our bodies we are incapable of rational decision making. The cost for this is multi-dimensional too, and as Dr. Gabor Mate’s states, trauma or living with trauma is the single biggest cause for disease…period!

Your physical and psychic boundaries are yours to employ and maintain. No one else will do it for you. We are empowered, we are capable, and it is not selfish to be concerned with one’s own harmony and wellbeing. Slow down, breathe and look around. What do you see? There’s beauty within and without to appreciate. Remember it often.
​
Blessings on your journey and with lots of love,
Isaac

Show Synopsis: ​On July 14th 1789 the starving and dispossessed citizenry of Paris, France rose up against the ruling class and feudal system. What followed over the next 4 years was a sincere effort to redress the grievances, but unfortunately a Committee for Public Safety was formed which instigated a Reign of Terror resulting in the arrest of 300,000 and over 25,000 deaths, including the king and queen.

​Today we are immersed in an atmosphere of terror that is being orchestrated by a global committee for public safety - the medical establishment. The M. O. is fear. Asking questions is now discouraged, truths are being suppressed and censored, and individual liberties are being removed. If we are to grow beyond this moment and come out the other side, we will need to dig deep and call upon our courage. We can inspire many to actualize a new path for humanity. You and I are the Solution, and there are higher spiritual powers we can employ Time to recognize and claim that inner power. Through our courage and healing the Earth is renewed.

“…so, there’s rigid and compulsive identification to duty, role, and responsibility, rather than the authentic self is a major risk factor for illness” – from Dr. Gabor Maté - When the Body Says No in Psychotherapy

Freedom…what does it mean to you? Does it evoke excitement or fear?  What if you could be and do anything you chose?  What if you were suddenly free to roam and live any way your heart wanted to?  Heady stuff indeed!  You might have an argument with yourself (or with others more likely) that you have many obligations and responsibilities. What about keeping society coherent and following the rules?  What would happen if you dropped all your masks, and said exactly what you thought, or acted from your authentic self?  Maybe freedom to be who you are is absolutely a key part of larger freedoms.

I originally had big plans for this blog. I wanted to share about some pertinent astrology stuff, about the USA birth chart, the upcoming Pluto Return for America spanning from February 2022 till roughly January 2024. These are the last acts of Pluto in Capricorn before the main event…Pluto’s ingress into Aquarius on January 21st, 2024, conjunct the Sun.  America has been viewed as a beacon of hope and freedom for more than 200 hundred years, especially to peoples around the world with much fewer options or freedom of choice.  What will occur over the next 3 years will be seminal for the USA, and by extension, the planet.  (My broadcast this Sunday focuses on this situation in more depth).  Well, as John Lennon once quipped “life is what happens when you make other plans”.  Sometimes that is the case no matter the scale of experience, and it has been just like that for me this past week. Intensity does not seem to lessen with time, just the complexion of it changes.

A few days ago, I ran across this video (see link above) of a lecture by Dr. Gabor Mate’, and watching it immensely added to my understanding of what the concept of freedom is all about.  Since I have Sagittarius rising and Uranus conjunct the Sun, the twin issues of power and freedom have been constant companions for me in this lifetime.   My idealized poster child for freedom would sort of look like a rugged pioneer from the American West, or a character like Captain Jack Sparrow of the Pirates of the Caribbean films.  What eluded me was the one quality that drew me, and probably a smaller part of the global population than I imagine, to the heroes and heroines from our history who struck courageously out on their own, sometimes at the very cost of their lives.  The figure of William Wallace (movie- Braveheart) is one example of an individual committed to freedom at all costs.

I am rapidly redefining my concept of freedom to be an experience that can only be realized by grounding into one’s own authentic being self so profoundly, that you essentially are out of control. Control by others or other concepts I mean. Living from that ground of being would free you from the lies you tell yourself, the lies you accepted to keep yourself safe and protected, to afford you feeling accepted and loved by others outside of you.  My mother use to lecture me, “go along to get along, don’t rock the boat!” Well, that works only up to a point, and then what?  You continue betraying your own nature to please others and please the system? That is telling yourself lies.

Dr. Mate’s analysis of such behaviours is that it inevitably leads to illness of some kind, and if not physical, at least mentally, emotionally, and ultimately, spiritually.  The Indian mystic Jiddu Krishnamurti put it this way: “It is no measure of health to be well adjusted to a profoundly sick society.”  If we honestly take a deep look at what has been happening around us for the past 16 months, one can easily discern the effects that following the dictates of the herd will do to us in all arenas of our experience.

Learning how to live free in a seemingly unfree world is a discipline and an art.  Many never start, and few have the patience to withstand the tide of criticism or ridicule that others will use to dissuade you from the dangerous and heretical pursuit of authentic experience and freedom.  If you are grounded well into your being, and in harmony with your own Soul and the Cosmos, it will not matter.  You will not hold anything against anyone, for you would only be harming yourself. Nonetheless, you will walk in freedom, sovereignty, and peace, because you will know who you are and never compromise your integrity ever again.

Once embarked on, this is something that will become a lifelong practice.  I will have to begin each day by committing to it, and then hopefully it will be the whole of my experience…one full of joy and contentment.

Start where you are…take an inventory of what is bottom line important to you.  Listen, then implement, and, as always…

Blessings on your journey and with lots of love,
Isaac

Show Synopsis:
July opens with a bang. Saturn and Mars in oppose each other on July 1st, then on Saturday July 3rd Mars in Leo squares Uranus in Taurus, while Uranus and Saturn are still in a square to each other. All this sets the stage for the USA annual celebration of their independence from the Old World in 1776. What’s looming in the wings is the upcoming Pluto Return in Capricorn in the USA Natal Chart. This heralds huge chaotic change both within America, but also for the world. The spirit of America has a certain magic that appeals to the imagination of people around the world. This ‘magic’ is rooted in the American psyche and represents the core values of the Founding Fathers ideals around freedom that birthed the USA. Individualism and independent action were elevated, but within a structure of community and participatory cooperation. I will be exploring this and related themes during this episode. I will cover how we prepare to deal with these intense situations, maintain equilibrium and stay true to our own inner soul compass.
