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

STATE OF THE PLANET UPDATE
for November 12th, 2021

By Isaac George

There is so much angst in the air these days that we may all be feeling more sensitive, exhausted or even more despondent than usual.  So much so, that I feel a lot of folks are at the end of their tether, overwhelmed by the vast onslaught of confusing emotions and free-floating anxiety in the telluric atmosphere.  Steady folks!  Simply ignoring what is unfolding isn’t optional. However, grounding and staying centred in our core Being is a choice we do have, hour by hour, and day by day.

This past Wednesday there was an unusual astrological alignment.  During the same time our planet has been undergoing a mid-level geomagnetic storm from more solar flares erupted last weekend.  On Wednesday Saturn and the Moon met up at 7 degrees of Aquarius, and Mars and Mercury joined up at 7 degrees of Scorpio.  The Mars-Mercury gang were also opposed by Uranus retrograde at 12 Taurus.  This configuration is as rare astronomically as it is astrologically. The message in it is this: “...when push comes to shove”, or “enough is enough”, or “I am tired of this s**t”, or even “I’m as mad as hell, and I’m not going to take it anymore.”

The manifestations of this seemed to erupt in synchronous fashion globally, but was more focused in the USA, UK and Europe. In the days leading up to this strange square in the sky between Mars in Scorpio (“I’m going to get to the bottom of things, and you can’t make me do what I don’t want to do!”) and Saturn in Aquarius ("You must submit to the mandates or lose your job.”) various unions representing the police, firemen, teachers and health care professionals in the United States started court actions against forced inoculations.  Of course, to suddenly try to force anything on these folks, after they’ve been on the front lines for 16 months without the need for such an experimental medical intervention does not make much sense.  Nor does it make any sense to risk losing these dedicated people by coercing them into having to choose between their ethics (and perhaps medical or scientific knowledge) and their livelihoods. The video below is about an RN in British Columbia, Canada who is going through this exact scenario.

​Here in the U.K., on the very morning of said weird astrological event, the government announced that all NHS and care home employees would have to be vaccinated or be let go.  By yesterday morning 60,000 care home staff had been let go, and the care homes informed the National Health Service that they would be unable to accept any patient transfers from NHS facilities.  That was standard practice during the early months of lockdown in 2020.  Now it is the turn of the NHS frontline staff to choose where they stand. I have spoken privately with some nurses from our local NHS Trust hospital, and they feel it is simply wrong-footed to make the jabs mandatory.

Of course, there are other aspects to these developments, and I although I would like to address them here like bullet points in a lecture, I won’t do that.  I’m not here to lecture anyone or tell them what I think they should do, or not do.  I have popped a few links to some videos and articles for your consideration at the end of this article, and you can view them or not. Up to you.

After a relatively quiet weekend and beginning to next week, we have a few more rings of fire to leap through.  Next Wednesday Mars in Scorpio comes into an exact opposition with Uranus in Taurus retrograde. This occurs at 12 degrees of each sign. The energy of any Mars-Uranus aspect is volatile, unpredictable and intense.  I know because I live every day with Uranus square Mars in my natal blueprint. Saturn is also in an applying square to Uranus, which will be exact on December 24th, 2021, the last square between these behemoths in those signs for quite some time to come.

On Friday, November 19th, there will be a partial Lunar Eclipse in Scorpio-Taurus. I’ve supplied a copy of the chart below.

This lunar eclipse event may further galvanize and embolden those questioning the official narratives and mandates.  The confrontation between Mars and Uranus squaring Saturn will alert those in charge that their tactics are having less of an effect than desired.  This may result in further and perhaps more draconian restrictions in December, especially after the Total Solar Eclipse in Sagittarius (self-righteousness).  I am still taking the long view and holding zero expectations as we move from now to the first exact Pluto Return station to the USA Natal Chart Pluto in February 2022.  Now that will be a subject of deeper delving in January 2022!

The upshot of all of this from my perspective is that this is a time for steadfast resoluteness and preparedness.  Lots of folks I know are “prepping”, something I’ve been meaning to do for a few months now since supply chains have been disrupted and fuel has gotten scarcer. However, the spiritual and soul-base perspectives are of primary importance in these challenging and confusing times.

Ever since Halloween and the November 4th New Moon I’ve detected an uptick in psychic interference and fatigue.  Some of that is due to the fluctuations in the planet’s magnetic fields, but hey, the veils are still very thin now.  People energy, including thoughts and emotions, seem to be bleeding through boundaries much easier than before.  This is creating some personal friction that is straining working or friend relationships. Very touchy when it is someone close to you that you feel you need some space from.  By extension I am also picking up on a lot of astral interference and other static.  Clearing oneself daily is a useful activity, and only takes a few ticks to accomplish (see link below).  Some symptoms to be alert for are undefined irritability, low grade depression, self-talk, blaming, complaining, dissociative or addictive behaviours, a longing to be somewhere else, and general doubt or fear. 

Although lower emotions like fear, guilt, shame and anger are generally to be eschewed, anger can be a creative energy when approached in the correct attitude. Anger is one of the most misunderstood and avoided emotions on the planet, or conversely, one that is over-indulged in far too often.

​The one message anger can have for us is that our Soul Core is alerting us to some person, situation or thing that violates our sense of Self, or our core values.  As such, anger is then your friend, and an ally in helping you in choosing and activating healthy boundaries.  In a climate such as we have now, people’s right to say “NO!” is even being taken away.  To someone experiencing physical, mental or sexual abuse, we would be appalled if someone were denied the inherent right to say “NO!, that is does not feel good and I will resist!”  This is when anger can give us the courage to stand up for ourselves and by saying “no” we are saying “yes” to what feels right and good for us.
​
It will be increasingly essential to observe what is going down without it dragging you down with it.  It is also becoming apparent that we may have to act in a firm and steadfast way to preserve the life we have chosen to live, and not acquiesce quite so easily to what others tell us to do. This Saturn in Aquarius cycle will be with us until March 2023, so we’ve still going to see this type of attrition carrying on for a while yet.  By that time Pluto will be done with the transit to the USA chart and will be about ready to head into Aquarius itself.  That should be of larger concern than what we currently are experiencing. Even so, it is vital that we look to staying as much in the now as possible.

There are many things to be currently thankful for, and to celebrate. If you have your health, good food, shelter and loving family and friends, then appreciate that…deeply.  Hold fast to the vision you have for your life and choose the path that brings the most peace to you, not the most material gain or comforts.  The pressures we are seeing have been designed by us, and for us, to awaken and galvanize us to take full responsibility for our happiness right now, and for the future.

This is also the Planet’s shaking and waking us out of the nightmare that is capitalism and consumerism.  I recall when I was channelling Archangel Ariel that she’d remind folks that moving into 5D would mean no more Walmarts or McDonalds.  We cannot blend our current culture or beliefs with a higher order society.  Our technology is owning us, and we are slowing realizing that that is now so.  We also can feel how dehumanizing our institutions have become (humans are NOT a resource).  The good news is that we are at choice, and in fact that is where our true power resides.

Choice.

Don’t leave home without it, and refuse to submit your power of choice to another.

Peace, love and blessings on your journey,
Isaac

Special Announcement:
“Sophia’s Wisdom and Embodiment” hosted by Renee S. LeBeau.

My good friend and fellow sound creator Renee S. LeBeau is offering a new monthly membership only program entitled “Sophia’s Wisdom and Embodiment”.  I really like the sound of what she’s presenting here, which seems to be about grounding into developing a communication with Sophia, the planetary intelligence, for guidance and support.  The full details can be found here, and here. 

Show Synopsis: No matter how many times we attempt to reframe the current experience on this plane of awareness into the context of non-dualism or subjectivity, the more that objective reality objects, and then rudely intrudes. This past week there was, and still is, and opportunity to make a seed change within us, and in turn seed a different type of future. The upcoming eclipses on the 19th of November and 4th of December are also part of the scenery. Our choices appear to be narrowing, and people’s backs are pushed up against the wall and something will have to give. The question is, what will it be that gives? One word is triggering a lot of fear and pain recently, and that word is “mandatory”.

In this show I will illustrate the challenges and highlight our potential responses to them. Also on tap is a dose of strong encouragement to establish good boundaries with others, especially groups, and always keep your energy clear in all circumstances. Psychic vampires don’t only come out at Halloween you know. Digital detox time as well!

“The Vibe IS Everything”
by Isaac George




Been an interesting week thus far.  As I may have mentioned in last week’s article in on my radio program on Sunday, the surfacing of the hidden information has begun in earnest, at least here in the U.K. Yesterday, just after the Lunar Eclipse, a former number one advisor to the Prime Minister sang like a canary to a House of Commons committee looking into the government’s handling (or mishandling) of the pandemic and the fallout since.  The repercussions are going to be felt here for quite some time to come.  As far as globally, more and more courageous people from the fields of science and medicine are bringing forward evidence that directly challenges the official narratives.  The ripples are going out, and the “muggles” are rightly confused and probably have had more of the confidence in the authority of the ‘old order’ shaken up considerably.

What we do with any of that data is a matter of choice of course.  How we interact with the world depends solely on where we choose to place our attention.  As my partner reminded me this morning, our bio-computer (brain) is negatively hard-wired to look at the downside of everything.  It is ego of course, but more than that, it is the firmware of fear in our limbic regions and a small endocrine gland known as the amygdala that primes the pump of negativity.  If we stare at dark clouds long enough, our brain will become entrained to that and push aside any sunlight.  I discuss this in deeper detail on my broadcast coming up this Sunday, entitled “The Mystery of Resonance – The Vibe IS Everything.”

A good friend of mine living in Mexico recently came to the conclusion that no matter what is happening “out there”, she is choosing to enjoy every ounce of her life journey, and not permit herself to descend into a hole of despair.  An article in a UK newspaper recently announced that over 1 billion of us are suffering mental distress and depression (directly and indirectly) just over the effects of climate changes, and that is before we calculate the stress produced by the reaction to the Covid phenomenon!  We cannot wall ourselves off from everything, but it is of primary importance that we not become so overwhelmed that we forget to feel gratitude for what is in our lives, and enjoy the good things that Life offers all of the time, if we can just let it in.

As we enter into the retrospective qualities of the energy of Saturn retrograding, and soon Mercury following suit, we can take full advantage of the time between now and the Solar Eclipse on June 10th to re-prioritize our goals, dreams, hopes and most importantly, our attitudes.  My old mentor used to remind me often that “Gratitude is the Attitude”. Good one, that.

When one of us stumbles and has difficulty it is doubly important to offer a hand and a good ear so that we can hear where they are at, and what it is they need.  Once one gets past the opinions and beliefs of others, they are just like you and I, and deserve respect and compassion.  As we give, we give to ourselves.

Have a lovely weekend and hope you can tune into this Sunday’s show. Details to follow.
​
Blessings on your journey,
Isaac

As always, I am at your service as a mentor, and astrotherapist to assist you in understanding your position in the Big Story of Life and letting go of the little story. Click here for an opportunity to discuss what sort of guidance, healing and support you long for. 

This Sunday's upcoming edition of "Revealing the Mysteries" radio program is all about the mysteries of Resonance, Coherence and Entrainment. 

 What is resonance, and how does it operate in our everyday lives?  Resonance can and does distinguish the subtle “vibes” that we all transmit 24/7. One function of resonance is called entrainment.  Another aspect is coherence. As electrical beings we are operating like a radio receiver-transmitter.  Others who come into our “field” either match our resonance, or are repelled, or are neutral.

Understanding these energetic forces can go a long way in explaining a lot about what happens in our experience, especially in the attraction principle in love relationships and partnerships.  It can also illuminate some of the more challenging aspects of the times we are living through, like Covid and so-called “infectious diseases.  The soup of energy we exist in and re-create constantly is a function of resonance.

​Pollution of any description, especially wireless tech like 5G, can disrupt resonance and coherence, creating toxicity in our entire makeup.  So, what kind of “vibe” are you emanating, or “putting out there?”  I will shine a light or two on the how’s and why’s of this fascinating subject.

State of the Planet Update: May 21st 2021
by Isaac George

Yesterday afternoon I had an experience that reminded me of some basic truths about Life. The weather around here has been very unseasonable lately. Chilly, rainy and generally very un-Spring like…even for England in late May. Anyway, around 4pm there were two incidents that happened in succession that were strange. First, the lights flickered briefly, usually the indication of a possible power cut or transformer switching. It stopped, and all seemed normal. About 2 minutes later, the same thing happened, but this time the lights stayed on, but we lost all mobile phone (cellular) signal, lost WIFI and broadband. Even the mobile data quit entirely. I felt a weird surge in my energy field, and my body stiffened slightly. Very weird indeed. In about 15 seconds everything settled down, and all services magically reappeared. A moment of chaos and storminess…then normalcy.

Three days earlier I had read a regular email I get from Spaceweather.com, describing a Coronal Mass Ejection (CME) from our Sun 100 years ago in May of 1921, and how it impacted people, our environment and technology of those times. Here’s an excerpt from the article I linked above:

​“On May 15, 1921, the biggest solar storm of the 20th century hit Earth. Around 02:00 GMT that Sunday morning a telegraph exchange in Sweden burst into flames. Across the Atlantic, the same thing was going on in New York. Flames engulfed the switchboard at the Brewster station of the Central New England Railroad and quickly spread to destroy the whole building. During the conflagration, long distance telephone lines burned out in New Brunswick; voltages on telegraph lines in the USA spiked as high as 1000 V; and auroras were sighted by ships at sea crossing the equator. It was Big. Solar. Storm.”

When everything is working as it should, as we have imagined and designed it, we feel safe and secure, solid and ‘normal’. But the moment something alters that envelope, human beings run a gamut of feelings that are usually quite unhelpful. I might guess that the strongest emotion to such an event of 1921 was first shock and bewilderment, followed by a sense that we do not have everything under our control.

Control is something we have struggled with throughout our evolutionary history. One might say that we equate power with control, as they imply a sense of “being in charge, and on top of things”. Perhaps therefore modern cultures still have an innate distrust or suspicion of Nature and Her workings, or even that of the Universe itself. Look at all the Sci-Fi movies that posit that venturing into the uncharted regions of space may get us into a real pickle. The subtitle of the first film in the Aliens franchise stated scarily “In space, no one can hear you scream.” Indeed, they would not! 

​The Sun has been quite active of late, as we begin our ascent into the next Solar Maximum Cycle. This cycle lasts about 5.5 years. It also coincides with the bigger astrological markers that started this decade off with a shove – especially the ingress of Saturn into Aquarius (technology – digital) in December 2020. You have heard me prattle on and off about these energetic patterns and how they influence and inform us, and how we are interacting with them. The modern ruler of Aquarius, Uranus, is the consummate trickster and thief. Have you been watching the cryptocurrency roller-coaster lately? That is Uranus in Taurus talking.

Now that we have entered the Aquarian Era (not AGE!), we are confronted with the belief that technology, especially digital or bio-digital technology, will be our saviour, and solve all the myriad problems of humanity. However, if the Sun, or Nature, pulls the plug, then what? What safe harbour do we sail to for refuge? How do we come to grips with the unknown in those situations? Are we at all prepared for what we may have to do in such times?

For one thing, our grounding in spiritual principles should remind us of the impermanence of all things, and the ultimate folly of seeking power over and control over everything we observe or participate with. One of the New Age beliefs is creating one’s experience of the reality you want to inhabit. However, that does not mean that you have a totality of control over Creation. Oddly, that is the same ideology that modern science and medicine are toying with. Cracking the human genomic code and exploiting it as a means of avoiding change, illness or even death. That is, in my view, dangerous and doomed to fail.
​
When the chips are down, or things feel uncertain or even scary, what shall we do. Where do set a course for a safe harbour? We will need to have the vision and will to create it. It begins within each of us…there is where to build the foundations. Then in small groups, and then to groups of a 100 or so folks. Community, cooperation and mutuality of vision are the building blocks that well help us weather any storm that comes our way. We get through the gauntlet together, and that means we will need to refocus from sole preoccupation with personal spiritual development only, to one of sharing ourselves and our skills with others.

The Saturn in Aquarius vibe is about peer pressure and coercive compliance. It serves those who covet and aggrandize power and control as the primary virtue. We are listening to another song, and a different drummer. That song is freedom and the desire choose how we show up and how we can help each other to thrive.

I ran across this meme the other day, and it is perfect to close with. “What we allow, will continue.” First, apply that idea when it comes to examining where you place your authenticity in second place in your relationships, so you do not have anyone disapprove or criticize you. Secondly, observe how that same phrase has played out in the human experience for millennia. I will leave the research on both parts up to you.
​
In the meantime, find that safe harbour within, begin to design a mirror of it “out there”, and keep a weather eye on the horizon.

Blessings on your journey,
Isaac
