90 Seconds to Midnight - Tick Tock
Not long after the January New Moon in Aquarius, the Doomsday Clock was reset by the Board of the Bulletin of Atomic Scientists to 90 seconds to Midnight. First created in 1947 just after the end of WW2, the Doomsday Clock is a reminder of the potential for the destruction of our world by man himself. In 1947 the clock’s original setting was seven minutes to midnight, when the greatest danger was seen to be a nuclear war threat between the USA and Russia. Some things never change! Threats nowadays have been extended to politics, energy, climate, bioterrorism, and unchecked scientific and technological advances.
On February 5th we arrive at the Full Moon point – this time in Leo. And still we see a continuation of the message of change I spoke about in my New Moon blog, with both the Sun and the Moon in a tight square to Uranus, the disruptor. But we also see the Moon (females and the people in general) in the Sun’s (leaders) sign of Leo. She is an honoured guest in his home, but is she also captive? And is the Moon suffering from a severe case of Stockholm Syndrome, leaving her incapable of critical thinking? Encapsulated in an aura of fear as opposed to care since 2020, are the people now being led to consider that computer modelled climate restrictions as well as WW3 are both necessary and right?
I don’t think I’ve ever explained why I do my blogs at the New and Full Moons. Just like natal charts, the lunations reflect moments frozen in time and, therefore, carry a message - a fragment of DNA – they act as my framework. At the time of the New Moon in January, I chose not to discuss one particularly important placement. And that was Pluto’s proximity to the New Moon – Pluto at the end of Capricorn and the New Moon at the very beginning of Aquarius. That was a conscious decision at the time because, as you will see, it merits virtually a whole blog of its own. In light of events since the New Moon and Pluto’s placement in this Full Moon chart, I want to re-address this.
As I said previously, Pluto in Capricorn has dredged up the corruption in corporates and governments and laid bare the corrupting influence of power. Pluto’s job is to reform and transform – to bring about a death/rebirth situation. Pluto is about power, control, manipulation, what is hidden, toxicity that is often deeply buried. Pluto in Capricorn has revealed the Plutocrats who are really controlling companies, governments and, therefore, the ensuing policies that affect our daily lives.
Hardly anything is actually hidden – so much information is out there to grab if you put the effort in to find it. The problem though is that it seems that hardly anyone has much desire to confront and listen, and the propaganda machine is a force of nature in its own right. I know that AI and mind-influencing is increasing on an exponential level, as we see a constant feeding by a mainstream media loop - in one ear, out the other and then back round again. If you watched the series Westworld then you’ll understand this loop. But what happened in Westworld was that the AI, in the form of human-like robots, developed emotions and consciousness; so I am still kind of hopeful.
Pluto represents toxins and everything toxic. What might be more toxic than the possibility of a nuclear war? But the part I find so hard to understand is we see no force for peace from any avenue. I grew up in the era of ‘flower power’ and ‘peace and love’; a time when people marched to ban the bomb, particularly the young. Perhaps that was because WW2 was not that distant; we could see the horrors of war in Vietnam and the barbarity of Agent Orange. And perhaps it was because in those days the propaganda machine was nowhere near as sophisticated. But, if governments truly serve their people, why don’t they seek to avoid the horrors, the misery and the poverty caused by war? It’s clear who benefits from war and it’s never the ordinary guy in the street, so the conclusion must be that our governments are puppets of those who benefit. Just as who benefits from the eye-watering profits made by the likes of Shell as revealed in the run up to this Full Moon? Certainly not the ordinary person – how much more will it take to pull the people out of captivity?
Ukraine has long been a hotbed of money laundering, child trafficking and other unsavoury things that no-one talks about – in fact I think it was number six in a list of the world’s most corrupt countries. All that information seems to have now been sanitised from public knowledge. Ukraine’s more recent troubles can be tracked back to 2014 (the midst of the seven Pluto/Uranus squares which reflected so much of the political destabilisation that we suffer from now). This was the point of the Minsk Agreement, which Merkel has openly admitted recently was just to buy time and was never going to be adhered to anyway. How on earth can anyone ever trust Europe again? (Pluto speaks of trust and the inability to trust). Civil unrest has since persisted in the country, but this seems to have gone totally unreported in our mainstream media.
I am not excusing Russia’s part in the current war, but after the end of the Cold War it was well known within political circles how to bait the bear until he roared. And that was exactly what happened. In my mind, if we are supplying money and weaponry then WW3 has already begun. But, should NATO personnel actually put feet on the ground to maintain this weaponry, will there be anything to stop the official declaration of a world war? We are on really dangerous ground here, but I hear very little outcry! Who is actually accountable for the millions that have been given by the British public to fuel this war whilst they themselves struggle? Are people truly signed up to the potentials?
Pluto in a natal chart often shows self-sabotage. The USA is going through its Pluto return (when Pluto goes back to the birth point – and yes countries have charts too, but because Pluto takes around 240 years to travel back to its birth position people don’t actually have the chance for a Pluto return). So the USA is flexing its muscles and ‘doing’ Pluto. Pluto represents Empires, and America, seeing challenges to its number one status, is doing everything to hold on to its position and to get rid of those who might be a threat. Are we sabotaging ourselves at a time when the UK is vulnerable itself economically? Are we participating in something we will massively regret in the future from which plutocrats and corporates profit from now?
Sometimes, when important astrological aspects are displayed it can be hard for our minds to process the outcomes. For example, did anyone predict a lockdown? Would any of us have even considered that? I know I spoke about harsh rules but never did lockdown cross my mind. That was just inconceivable. And during the time of Pluto square Uranus playing out (2008-2018) we also perhaps underestimated Neptune’s entry into his own sign of Pisces in 2011 (to be followed by his co-ruler Jupiter in 2021) as a factor within the story of the Pluto/Uranus squares. Furthermore, did we consider Pluto’s continuing dance with Neptune and the implications of this? Pluto square Uranus gave us a harsh lesson in political, social and economic turmoil, whilst Neptune’s influence has been much more subtle, pervasive, insidious; its effect almost invisible upon a porous landscape. When we look at cycles it’s important that we study the whole astrological picture rather than taking aspects in isolation. So, if we bring Pluto’s long-term sextile to Neptune into the equation, we understand how Pluto could manipulate via the confusion and the distortion of reality that Neptune has afforded us. Neptune in Pisces has brought to light the power of the engineering of our mental attitude through sophisticated methods and the media.[1] Both Pisces and Neptune are hugely ideological in their nature, and we can see how society has been affected by the distortion of our reality via completely ideological and baseless beliefs. The Government’s Mindspace document has also shown that if our thinking and behaviour has been manipulated, then we would have no conscious knowledge that his has happened to us; that behaviours have been deliberately altered and we didn’t know![2]
The Saturn/Pluto conjunction in January 2020 heralded the lockdowns and at this Full Moon we see Mercury, planet of the mind, thinking and the voice, occupying that same position. Bearing in mind we have been talking in this blog about mind control, this is particularly interesting. As I have said before history doesn’t necessarily repeat but ‘it often rhymes’. What is being heralded now? 15-minute cities! They are being trumpeted as good for us and the planet, convenient, time-saving. But Mercury at the Full Moon sits close to Pluto and dances conveniently with Neptune. This tells me something very different. Pluto is a big fat red flag to my freedom, and Neptune in the mix echoes everything I have been saying about the manipulation and distortion of our minds
Brexit is a prime example of unexpected political upset (Uranus) and Dominic Cummings, who occupied a prime position in the UK government to make Brexit happen, has unashamedly demonstrated in great detail the psychological assault on the minds of the British public that achieved this. Cummings, according to Zerohedge, has also importantly confirmed the existence of a deep state government – the very Plutonic shadow organisation that really sets the rules within politics.[3] Remember the final scenes of the Bond film ‘Spectre” and the very large oval table where the ‘grey men’ met? That was a film bringing the message of who really is in control, whilst those you think are running countries are merely well rewarded puppets.
Back to my ongoing message of change and disruption; Dr. Bruce Lipton has cited the challenges and crises the world faces today as signs that change is imminent. In his most recent newsletter Lipton, commenting that ‘crisis ignites evolution’, almost echoed my words by going on to say that ‘evolution is a participatory event’; I spoke of collaborating with the inevitable. If we don’t participate in the evolutionary change, it will all just be done TO us.
And yet another message echoing change. Just before the Full Moon a bright green comet, arriving from the extremities of our Solar system, was at its closest to Earth at 27 million miles on February 1st/2nd. Excitingly named C/2022 E3 (ZT), this comet was first discovered in March 2022 just after the troubles in Ukraine began. At the end of January, the comet will have passed the celestial North Pole and headed towards fixed star Polaris; at the time of the Full Moon the comet will be heading towards Mars and by mid-February fixed star Aldebaran. Comets have long been regarded as harbingers of doom and it has been said that they augur revolutions of kingdoms, epidemics, war and bloodshed, and particularly likely if they involve Mars.[4]
think we have enough warnings now to realise that our lives are changing, and it is up to us to prepare ourselves so that as far as possible we can be active participants. As I said in my last blog, we will begin to see a difference in background energy in March with Saturn’s move into Pisces and Pluto peeping into Aquarius. This could be a point where we see some kind of signs of what may be coming. Pluto square Uranus has already set its stage, but Neptune will remain in Pisces until 2025/6 so it’s important we understand the implications of his potentially undermining assault on our minds. It’s so important that we understand the crisis we face and remove ourselves from the continuous loop of the mainstream media. In other words, ‘know thy enemy’ and consciously fend off the tentacles of pervasive propaganda. It’s equally important that we give our assaulted and ‘raped’ minds a break. Treat them to time just for meditating or to appreciating nature as Spring returns.
And we must find the resilience to stand up to the vicious energy of hatred that is consciously spread from those who want to cancel anything that does not follow the insane ideology that we find ourselves facing in today’s world. If the Emperor presents as naked, looks naked, walks as though he is naked then he is probably naked. And we should probably say something before he embarrasses himself further and makes an even bigger mess of our lives. If we say nothing we are just as complicit as those who are inventing and imposing the insane rules. At the end of the day men are not women and 15-minute cities will not be convenient, they will be prisons – lockdowns in a different form and for a different reason. Do we really want androgyny? Do we really want to be corralled in just a 15-minute area? How boring and unfulfilling would that make our lives? Or do we want freedom, variety, family, friends, spontaneity? This really is a ‘90 seconds to midnight’ warning bell before we wake up one morning and find that there are no roses left to smell.
