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

the State of the Planet Update
by Isaac George
May 14th, 2021

Back on September 11th, 2001 I was sleeping peacefully at my lover’s home in Eugene, Oregon. In a moment we were abruptly awakened by the phone ringing. She picked it up and her face turned to horror as a friend back in Virginia alerted us to the attacks on the World Trade Center complex in New York City. As she listened, he told her about the collapse of the South Tower as it happened before his eyes. In my head, I heard the words “It’s all a setup…do not lapse into fear.” We got up, showered quickly and dressed, and headed over to my house to watch thing unfold on my roommate’s big screen television.

Watching the constant reruns of the towers going down, hearing the chatter between reporters and cameramen and the hosts in various newsrooms, I could not shake the feeling that I was being brainwashed. After two hours, the numbness and shock set in, and we could not watch another moment. My senses were in overwhelm and I felt assaulted. I had to go out into Nature to regain my bearings. After much reflection and quiet, I restored my connection to my inner guidance and to that place in Universal Love that let me know that everything was okay.

Shortly afterwards I had to fly back to Virginia to conduct a mystery school workshop, and I was able to go to the airport, and fly on a mostly empty jet to the East Coast. Nothing got to me during that journey or the one back. The searches and pat downs, the automatic weapons being carried by guards in the airport…none of mattered to me. Of course, I did not believe the official story for one second and I knew that like the JFK event, this was an engineered act. After all, my inner voice confirmed that within seconds of my knowledge of 9/11 happening.  I was saddened by the loss of life that day, and I knew that many more would lose their lives in the aftermath. I could not prevent any of what happened, nor what was to come. However, I also would not allow myself to be shifted from that solid ground of my own spirit.

In the middle of March of 2020, we all experienced a new 9/11, but one that would reverberate around the planet. After JFK, MLK, RFK, the Vietnam War (almost got sent over), Gulf War 1, 9/11, the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq, the shock of Brexit and Trump, and now Covid-19, it has been one step up of chaos fear each time. Now the ‘enemy’ is supposedly and invisible one. Well, that is metaphorically closer to the mark than most realize, but that is also a discussion for another time. Today, I wish to focus on what we can do, indeed must do, to mitigate this irrational blanket of fear and the division it fosters. We need to find and cultivate the reminders that this world is not a dangerous place, that we do have a choice in how we wish to feel about our lives, and we also have a choice to empower ourselves so that we do not succumb to the merchants of fear.

The first place to begin is the issue of trust. This is tied to self-empowerment in significant ways. Do you trust yourself? Do you trust in God-Goddess-Creator-Universe? Do you trust your own body and the divine intelligence within it? Do you trust Nature? Did you know that there is a world ‘out there’ that is unaffected by the headlines? Trust is the cornerstone. When I was channelling, AA Ariel use to bang on about faith. “Faith is the science of knowing. If you know you are safe, that you are loved, that you are more powerful and creative than your ego mind would have you believe, then you would joyfully live a life of risk. You would know that you are eternal, even if the body and personality is not. Know that and you are free.” She was not advocating blind faith, but a faith anchored in the realm of the Absolute. I like that, and always have.

Those who are in deep fear these days have forgotten these principles, these foundational truths. They trust the science they say, but science is an imperfect set of postulates and theories, most of which arose from a study of biology and chemistry based on a mechanistic perception of Nature. Nature is not a machine, but machine-based intellects will always see that and nothing more. Your body is living physical evidence of the holographic energetic signature of your soul and its extensive combined experiences with others and the Universe at large. We are “integral” with the fabric of Creation, not mere objects in space observing what is happening, or thinking it is all happening to us or because of us. It is both/and!

I recommend looking past the appearances of the current theatre of chaos and spend a bit of time with the beauty of your own being, the beauty in Nature, the wonder of the stars above (try to ignore those satellites) and look with awe at the tiniest of creatures that are out in your garden or the woods living and loving no matter what calamities seem to be unfolding in the human drama. I am not saying to ignore what has been happening, but to make a clear space away from it on a regular basis so that you might begin to trust Life, your life, and this entire experience we are living through. As improbable as this may sound, ultimately you and I chose to be here at this time.

Beauty may be in the eye of the beholder, but it is also a quality that stands on its own and does not depend on our observation. Desiring to see beauty even in adversity, will help us to manage what it is we are all doing. We all yearn for a better experience. Perhaps it is not so far-fetched to imagine re-visioning and re-creating the Earth as a Paradise, and new Eden. By the way, that is the theme of my next ‘Revealing the Mysteries’ radio show this Sunday. See the details below for that.

Finally, we are not ever alone. Prayer does work, and as the call for aid and understanding goes out it is always answered back in some form. Since we do not know what we do not know, a beginner’s mind and childlike trust is essential. It also helps to be as wise as an owl, so we never allow ourselves to have that trust abused ever again.

Until next week, when I share what I feel the Total Lunar Eclipse in Sagittarius is about, onwards in love and…

Blessings on your journey,
Isaac

Show Synopsis:

Times of crisis are like novel super-learning curves. They just will not leave us alone…or so it seems. I myself, possibly you, and the world at large appears to be suffering inside a nightmare that has no apparent end. Not all is lost however, we still have access to something beyond the noise and discord.

Step with me into an hour of immersion with Source Consciousness and Sophia the Planetary Wisdom Goddess, dreaming things into being through love and magic…allowing ourselves to drop our shoulders, drop our defences and once again remind ourselves that we are never alone in any struggle. Reminding ourselves of how divine our humanity is.  We no longer can afford to place our sovereign natures into the hands of external authority, no matter how well-intentioned it appears to be.
​
If we want a new world, a new Eden, we will have to stand up for it. However, it begins with where our alignment rests. If that is sitting with fear and anxiety, then that will be our experience. If we select beauty, awe, and connection, then anything can be possible. Even a new Eden. Let us play!

“I can't believe you people. I come for you, and you want to stay, I let you stay and you want to go!” – Death, from “Meet Joe Black”

Death…and Taxes. Sometimes paying taxes feels like a dying…like some precious life blood was being taken from you by force, or at least without your enthusiastic cooperation.

The 21 grams. The anomaly of how much lighter a human corpse is after the us that is “us” has vacated, and gone…where?

Ever wonder why it is that most people don’t have a single memory of where they were before their birth? Stranger still, how many can remember their last death, their last life prior to that death, or what came after. Can you remember, or know anyone who can? And, if you did, how can you tell if what it is you’re remembering is true, accurate, infallible?
​
I read a book a long time ago entitled “What Dream May Come” by Richard Matheson. Yes, it was made into to film later, starring Robin Williams, but that came 20 years after I read it. In the Introduction, Matheson wrote this: “To the Reader…
