All the World’s A Stage
All the world’s a stage
And all the men and women are merely players.
They have their exits and their entrances;
And one man in his time plays many parts,
His Acts being seven ages. (William Shakespeare)
On the 28th January we arrive at a Full Moon in Leo. Leo loves the spotlight and the drama - and we sure have plenty of that right now. There are times that I wake up in the morning thinking I’m in a very D list movie with a terrible plot and some very ham actors in the cast. Then I wake up fully and realize this is actually real life, and the people (the Moon) are centre stage.
Full Moons are always a climax point. Matters come to a head and things are revealed. This Full Moon makes a dynamic square to Mars and Uranus – we are being pulled by extreme, possibly dogmatic but certainly highly volatile influences. It’s as though we are in the middle of a huge firework display. Although right now I would rather be holding a sparkler and eating a sausage by the bonfire rather than feeling as though I am right in the middle of a long lasting and very large Catherine Wheel!!! The actions feel extreme but possibly somewhat under the radar - a ‘silent’ display with hidden explosions. This Full Moon clearly shows that a touch paper is being lit
The Sun has Jupiter not just by his side, but sitting right on his lap - there is hope, but by the same token actions may be over the top, reactive in their nature and carried out by a potentially arrogant elite group. Saturn’s authority, control and rules are like a ball and chain round the Sun’s ankles. The level is extreme - either it’s an attempt to prevent revolution or one that may actually cause one - a complete breaking up of the rules of life. We may also be seeing an extreme suppression and repression of views different to the norm. Jupiter and Saturn themselves represent extreme opposites. Jupiter wants, hope, expansion, freedom whilst Saturn depresses, restricts, binds and limits. Saturn is strong right now and, whilst Jupiter is stronger than he was in Capricorn, we may have to wait just a bit longer before his real strength shows through.
Meanwhile, Eris – the female Goddess of War – has also waded in and is hard at work trying to cause even more turmoil, continuing the energy of the seven Pluto/Uranus squares (mega political and economic turmoil) of 2008-2018 that set the backdrop to our stage. Trump was that Pluto/Uranus catalyst for change – he polarized and shocked certain levels of society to the point that now, rather than an actual physical assassination, we see a silent assassination of his influence and character. Almost unknowingly we have lived through a long period of building the stage set we are now.
When we watch a film we never really know who actually constructed the stage set. We have the lead role players, but behind them there’s often ‘the Establishment’, run by let’s call him Mr. Grey. There’s probably quite a lot of Mr. Greys, shadowy figures who lurk in the background; they hold the purse strings and call the shots. Mr. Ordinary, however, has no idea just how much Mr. Grey influences the politics and economics of our worlds. We do know that when in doubt following the money usually provides the answers. The Establishment describes the elite that really controls policy or an organization – if you are part of the elite you are ‘an insider’ and if you’re not then you’re an ‘outsider’. Trump was an ‘outsider’ – he didn’t come from the elite. The problem for us now is that Mr. Grey has become Mr. Global Grey – he has tentacles that reach farther than we can possibly imagine.
Uranus was bold when he defied the Gods to help Man. Human nature is to want to ‘fit in’ and Mr. Grey is learning some very skillful psychological methods to try and hold on to his control (Saturn in Aquarius). But at this Full Moon we have Mars stoking up the fire of rebellion, revolution and new ideas (Mars conjunct Uranus).
Can we influence the ending of this film? If we accept the premise that we are all actors on a stage but we are responsible for our Soul’s path, whilst we didn’t write the play, we do at the very least have some influence over how we play our role. Our voice still has some kind of influence, albeit small, on how the play unfolds. So, even if ours is a ‘bit part’, have we put our soul into it, have we made an impact, has the light shone on us?
If we are happy for our lines to be just ‘bottom fed’ we will go unnoticed, but if we really try to understand those lines, they will come right from the heart and from what we truly believe in. The passion surrounding our actions and words can be noticed and felt. Even if our words don’t change the ending, they will have had influence, they will be remembered and we can know that we did our best.
But let’s say Mr. Grey wants you to say your lines in a monotone. You don’t really want to, but he offers three times the money if you do as he wishes. So not only can you feed the kids and pay your bills, you can pay off some of the mortgage and have a holiday too. Happy days, but you’ve also sold a bit of your soul off to the devil. And then, just like Medusa who kept growing more heads, there’s even more Mr. Greys to be pleased – Mr. Big Banker, Mr. Big Media, Mr. Big Tech, Mr. Big Pharma. We think we have made choices from our free will but we have actually hammered in one more nail of enslavement.
I’m not a slave you might say. I’ve got a nice house, a nice car, nice things. I can go on holiday when I want and buy whatever I like – well I used to anyway. Yeah, of course I know it’s mostly on credit, but it’s ok because I will pay it all off before long. Enter stage right a virus (cue – panic and fear in the form of the crowd actors sent by Mr. Big Media and Mr. Big Politics). Mr. Grey, devoid of emotion and always motivated by any opportunity to make money, spots his chance and seizes upon it. Here comes Mr. Big Tech and Mr. Big Pharma to save the day. We can help, we can help – we’re here to save you. But in return you have to play the game our way. Say what we want how we want though, or Mr. Big Twitter will cancel you.
We are even giving you transparent clues as to how this pans out – enter Mr. Schwab from the World Economic Forum, disguised as Red Riding Hood. He tells us how this virus has given him and his ‘stakeholders’ a ‘window of opportunity’. We are going to give you an amazing world, but in return by 2030 you will own nothing but you will be happy. You will be a digital player receiving your income and you do this for us – but remember we’ve told you that you will be happy. We’ve got this under control – we’ve got the Great Global Reset and we are going to Build Back Better with the New Green Deal and God knows how many more three-word slogans. Because three words are what Big Psychology tells us works and focuses (i.e. controls) our minds.
As the play unfolds we can see that the virus is real but also a smokescreen, clouding our view of what Mr. Global Grey is really up to while everyone is looking stage right. Our film set now is dominated by Saturn (tradition, control, authority, rules) versus Uranus (the unexpected, the thunderbolt). Uranus, the ‘outsider’, because he never fits in to any mould, versus the ‘insiders’. King Kong versus Godzilla. The Clash of the Titans. Who wins? But the best films have a twist that no-one expected. The unexpected ending that takes us by surprise. So how about a different three word slogan – the Great Awakening? Uranus wants to throw down his thunderbolt to awaken us to where we are not free, where we are oppressed and enslaved. Saturn is the old, the traditional, what has been for a long time. Uranus was the one in myth who was happy to defy all the other Gods to help man progress by giving him the gift of fire. Saturn square Uranus says we are in the midst of a huge crisis. What’s at stake right now though is actually bigger than the virus, if that’s possible to believe. We are being tested to our limits and Mars with Uranus hints that there’s an oiled rag being lit.
Uranus is a powerball of huge electric energy. He’s given us fire once, but what does he have to offer us this time around? I have said many times before that I am sure there are many discoveries that would give us huge leaps forward in medicine and free energy. However, Mr. Grey and Mr. ‘Red Riding Hood’ Schwab are greedy. Mr. Big and Mr. Grey won’t profit from free energy. The Green Deal of electric rather than petrol cars will not allow Mr. Ordinary to have his nice car going forward. Electric cars are anything but green in their production. Elon Musk might own Tesla cars, but for sure he doesn’t have the amazing inventive mind that Nikola Tesla had - Tesla was already working on wireless communication and radiant energy in the late 1800’s. Two hundred years ago – can you believe that? So can Uranus defy the wrath of the Mr. Bigs again and allow us real progress?
The Mr. Greys are the few (they don’t want to spread their money too far) and the cast of actors is the many. Look for instance at Mr. Big Farm. He was going to get very rich by increasing his crops by spraying disgusting chemicals and genetically modifying his plants. The many didn’t want this but they thought they were too small and too spread out to do anything about it. But the few decided against the odds to show the way. They grew and sold natural crops on a small scale. They tasted better and helped us to be healthy and in the end those few influenced the many until they became a big rival to Mr. Big Farm. Those few weren’t bottom fed; they came from the heart and from their beliefs and eventually, like this Full Moon, they stood in the light.
Just like the Sun at this Full Moon, they were fuelled by their hope for a better life (Jupiter). Rainbows, unicorns or fairies aren’t enough to win through. Boldness, courage, resistance, effort, hard work and a determination to stand up for what we know in our heart is the right way to go will, in my view, be the qualities needed. Sometimes we just ‘know’ intuitively what is the right course of action and we have to trust that gut intuition.
Mr. ‘Red Riding Hood’ Schwab very quickly found time to document his vision of Covid 19 - the Great Reset in a book published back in June. I waded through it but like everything right now it all felt ‘off’ in some way. And then I listened to Rachel Elnaugh this morning and realized why. Whilst he does a lot of documenting on what the Great Reset should bring and says a lot of words, there’s no plan and no ‘how’. More importantly there is not one iota of feeling, empathy or spiritual reaction. His rendition is completely cold and emotionless.
So when something feels off, when things don’t add up or make sense, we have to turn to, listen to and trust our instincts, our feelings and what our hearts and our intuition say. All deaths are tragic but the length of our life is our ‘lot’ in life and medicine has always said that the cure must never be worse than the disease.
Dante’s ‘Inferno’ (the Italian word for hell) depicts Hell as a place where spiritual values have been rejected. Maybe we are being forced to recognize the failings of humanity. At this Full Moon, if we are going to be true to our heart (Leo) and to our Soul (The Sun), we must confront the fear and accept the fact that if we want the Uranian breakthroughs we must be bold and courageous. It is often the lonelier path (Saturn in Aquarius) – the path of the ‘outsider’ - that must be trodden in times like this. Act from the heart and be heart centred, act from your gut intuition and be true to your ‘mind’s eye’, act from authenticity and be ‘sovereign’.
