What did we even like about culture anyway?  Why were we connected with anyone at all in the first place and are these relationships we have still working?  Or have the others on the opposite of the exchange become dangerously polarized, and are now a part of some kind of collective group think or another?  Is there anything outside of the virtual, or are we naked in the world with all our personal aesthetics uploaded or posted elsewhere, away from our bodies or physical space?  A space in some places roiling with upheaval, and rightfully so, as the shadows cast into the foundations of all the structures which contain our world have sickened, are infected and the walls need to be demolished then everything rew...

          As we have in the past few days experienced a Total Solar Eclipse in the first degree of Cancer and Mercury’s retrograde station not far ahead in the same sign that which supports the most basic human needs, keeps us safe and supports our development are all absolutely on the table in a rather extreme way, as performative or not, policy makers are being swayed by the demands of the people who will not withdraw their presence from the streets, and triggering reconsiderations of how massive amounts of resources flow and who gets what.  That Mercury is moving backwards in Cancer editing the resource budget quite literally in the Crab’s sign, the North Node was just over the sign border in his sign of Gemini when...

          In a year marked by ingresses, eclipses and stations upon equinoxes and solstices the volumes of transits are turned up several notches and more leverage for change accompanies their actions.  The archetypes arrive, speak up and do things.  When a year like this arrives with a prominent threshold cross also in the mixture, we see even more rarified and pivotal activity cueing up.  The passage into eclipse season with the nodes having recently changed signs and a dramatic Total Solar Eclipse on Summer Solstice traveling over Africa and India certainly ushered in and triggered expected narratives lying in wait within the passage of slow moving outer planets.  We can point at more routine movements, like Mars’ th...

DISCLAIMER:  I wrote the following forecast right before events broke out in Minneapolis and there are notes throughout which comment on this fact.  For some context about what is currently going on I suggest reading articles I wrote a couple months ago about the shift from Earth to Air triplicity Epochs which we are currently undergoing, here and here. 

          Basically the narratives of hierarchy, resource exploitation, territory control, border defense, systematic capitalism, industrial incarceration and rationalist materialism generally are going to rapidly fall and be replaced with decentralized information networks and mutating multipolar governance geared toward increased mobility, collectivist...

          May’s transits and configurations form a complicated interwoven mechanism of activity that chews and snags on the narrative that gets fed into it and might come out the other end different than how it came in.  There is a strange quality of new clarity, curiosity and inspection mixed with major hang ups, hold ons and wait a minutes amidst considerable reevaluation.  The themes interlace along multiple lines, which is perfectly fitting for such a Gemini heavy month, a sign rife with multiplicity and paradox.  We begin with Gemini’s ruler, Mercury, in Taurus and Taurus’ ruler, Venus, in Gemini, so let’s begin with these two signs.

Venus Ruled Taurus

          Right of the bat Mer...

          Suddenly, as if out of no where you wake up and there is a 7 headed Dragon in your kitchen, or so you are told— an automatic metallic pigeon outside the window delivers the info to you via sonic centrifugal signal, and the steady stream of nonsense numbers projected across your nutrient depleted body conforms to a narrative that corroborates the story.  You’re worried.  You’ve never dealt with either a dragon or something with more than one head.  How do you do that? You reach for your blade, which has been sharpened to impossible thinness over the past few years, having to multitask with it due to a lack of other tools.  Cooking, cutting wood, slashing down assailants etc.  You proceed down to the kitchen on...

        The week has begun with the deep seed of Mars sunk into the eternal black envelope of Pluto, a planet, as you know who was named after heavy Hades and his infamous misdeeds.  Pluto was discovered in February of 1930 and astrologers ears perked up quickly to how this distant ice dwarf might be delineated.  As it was only hypothetical for a little over thirty years prior, then called Planet X, it was quickly donned Pluto in a race with Zeus, Percival, Constance, Cronus, and Minerva— Pluto, suggested by an 11 year old girl one out in the final vote, she received todays equivalent of $450 as a prize.  Pluto proved to not even be Planet X, and in time also proved to only be 0.2% the mass of Earth and to not even be a...

          Mercury in forward motion returns to Pisces splashing back through his retrograde shadow.  It’s confusing.  What is going on?  How did we get here?  Here we go again.  Our minds, lacking rational clarity completely are best suited to poetical thinking, free association of  letters and integers that carry with them waves of emotional movement.  Mercury here favors bardic evocation over analytical organization, so apply your intellectual agenda to intuitive amalgamations and empathic poesie.  Let your tongue loosen and relax your mind.  The words might pour out onto the page, or the singing filling the air until all the world is infused with song.  Straining to make concrete sense out of the granular details rig...

          Ok I’m going to go over some thoughts on wtf is going on here from an astrological perspective.  I’ll try to keep this concise so stick with me:  Jupiter and Saturn have been conjoining in Earth signs since 1802.  In 1980 they conjoined in an air sign for the first time, but then conjoined in Taurus in 2000 and then will conjoin in Aquarius later this year on December 21st.  Meaning: the entire industrialized age of human culture favoring resource plundering, territory control and top down hierarchies has been contained within that 200 year Earth element period.  Most of us have lived the majority of our lives in this transition time between elemental periods, 1980-2020, where we have one foot in the air room...

          On one end of the spectrum we have permeability, the loss of reason, the full, free flow of the imaginal, the Dionysian, the hallucinatory and the paranoid casting light into the Earth's primary satellite full bloom in a sign that doubles down on details, organizes the granular components, puts itself mid process and tries to be as useful as possible.  We empathize with whatever might be within arms reach, as if we are infected by its aura, and with sensitive equipment we sonogram the cellular structures that make up its composite.  What is going on?  Asks the praying hands wrapped in bristly vines?  What can we do?: Begs the marching of ants in an undulating mandala pouring from the water swollen nest, overfl...
