Curiouser and Curiouser
“But I don’t want to go among mad people," Alice remarked.
"Oh, you can’t help that," said the Cat: "we’re all mad here. I’m mad. You’re mad."
"How do you know I’m mad?" said Alice.
"You must be," said the Cat, "or you wouldn’t have come here.”
When Alice went down the rabbit hole, she entered the world of literary nonsense. These days real life feels like one of nonsense – a series of illusions and delusions, all within a society that has been seduced by the greatest illusional tool ever - the television. Predictive programming, product placements, stories in soaps containing politically motivated narratives are all implanted within our thoughts influencing our behaviours in ways we just don’t comprehend.
On June 6th the New Moon falls in the sign of Gemini – a sign connected with our thoughts and indeed the most curious sign in the zodiac. Just maybe at this point we will feel encouraged to resurrect curiosity and ask ‘Why?’ more often. A child born on this day will have Gemini overwhelm, with half the planets having moved into the sign, including Mercury, Gemini’s ruler. So this is still what I call one of those ‘bunched’ charts that we seem to keep having, perhaps reflecting the oddity of our times. But instead of all the fixed stubborn energy as we’ve had for months, the energy is now lighter, more free flowing, more changeable and more adaptable.
Gemini is a dual sign, symbolised by two people - the twins. Gemini is always faced with choices but has a problem making up its mind. At a pivotal point in our society, however, the choices we make now are crucial, particularly if we are transitioning from one type of civilisation to another – our choices today shape our future tomorrow. In a world of twin realities one world is true reality, and the other is illusional nonsense.
Events between the Full Moon and this New Moon:
Attempted assassination of the Slovakian Prime Minister
Iranian president and 4 others from his government die in helicopter crash
UK general election called for July 4th. There will be no real government from now until September; and the Royal family cancels engagements in run up to general election.
Apologies for infected blood scandal which occurred between 1970’s to early 1990’s
Bird flu/next pandemic raises its head a bit higher.
Trump is found guilty on all 34 counts in what many say is a rigged trial.
Israel/Hamas ceasefire deal proposed, but does it have any legs?
Some of these events may indeed hold implications for the future and I home in on them because, in the astrology world, the future informs the present. Our place of ‘now’ has to reach the potentials of tomorrow, as defined by astrological principles. We are navigating difficult waters where so many of our leaders seem very committed to bring about WW3, rather than seeking peace on behalf of their people. Contrary to what we think, wars are orchestrated to satisfy perceived desired ends. What false flag event will bring about the announcement of the reality that we are at war already? Ukraine cannot possibly win against Russia without NATO’s help. And the US election just got a whole lot more tense and interesting as, for the first time in its history, America is undergoing a Pluto return just as Biden undergoes his own challenging aspects.
Gemini, the sign of this New Moon, is fascinated by both useful and useless information – the sign’s curious element wants to know about anything and everything – and the world needs that curiosity. Gemini is the social butterfly of the horoscope just wanting to explore and know. However, Gemini’s thinking can become scattered and fickle, particularly as Gemini is the master of distraction techniques. Counterbalancing this, the Sun, Moon and Venus are all at 16 degrees squaring Saturn in Pisces. Saturn wants order - correct order and behaviour; he passes judgement, but in Pisces that leads to judgementalism by ideological thinking via perhaps the ‘woke’ mentality. Saturn’s influence isn’t strong in Pisces and, although he is essentially a moral planet, he may, instead, have an unethical pull here, particularly now that he is beginning to draw closer to Neptune in preparation for their joint move into Aries. Saturn, however, does at least remind us to try to be moral and to respect our own and each other’s boundaries.
Jupiter has now moved into Gemini for about a year, where he and Mercury currently both trine (harmonious aspect) Pluto. Pluto symbolises many things – toxicity, which he reveals and pushes up from the depths where they are hidden, transformation, power, strength, manipulation, control and particularly the transformation of death/rebirth situations. Our old world is dying, and a new civilisation age is being born which is likely to be reflected within a digital/technological age. With Mercury in the picture alongside Pluto, we see the power of the mental, the power of knowledge, reminding us that knowledge is indeed power. Ensure that you always know your enemy, which could well be an AI that at the moment is in the hands of a corrupt leadership.
Jupiter, like Saturn, is also weak in Gemini, so his philanthropic nature may well be just a façade. Jupiter is always something big – so this will be big philanthropists, big influential leaders. Jupiter may also go a bit over the top with all the information he is faced with and may be much more prone to get involved with gossip and scandal. I think we could well see a lot of information coming out into the domain, particularly with Pluto’s revelatory actions.
In my last blog, I spoke about Michael Nehls’ book The Indoctrinated Brain. If the people enter a zombie type lifestyle or way of thinking, Nehls commented, it becomes impossible for them to question their situation. All normal interest and curiosity in alternative explanations and courses of action are lost.[1] But, curiosity is vital for the cultural progress of society, and vital for the survival of a healthy human brain. So, in a world of nonsense, there is even more reason to be curious and questioning. If we don’t use our amazing brains they will atrophy and shrink. And with a New Moon in Gemini square the planet of reality, what better image of this New Moon in Gemini is there than the shattering (Saturn) of illusions (Pisces) and the restriction of our ability to think.
James Giordano – a neuroscientist with a long list of credentials, who works closely with the military and DARPA (Defence Advanced Research Projects), focusses on how to intervene and influence the brain because the brain, he tells us, is the next major battlefield. His speeches are chilling because he talks about the brain and influencing the behaviour of the brain as though it is just another object rather than a structure within a human being. Giordano speaks of using ‘directed energy’ to target and influence the brain in the form of weaponised nanoparticles delivered via aerosol that are impossible to detect. What is very clear is that this brain influencing is likely being used now and has been used in the past. An unsuspecting public has no idea that their minds are being attacked in this way.
Very often books and films that are supposed to be fiction give us lots of clues to current situations. Perhaps they are predictive programming, perhaps some writers are just very good at tapping into the collective unconscious or perhaps they just plant ideas within us. George Orwell in 1984 demonstrated what happens if our leaders in fact became the ‘mis-leaders’. The idea of removing the memories of a whole society was called the memory hole, and it allowed them to completely rewrite history to fit state propaganda. If humans can’t remember their past, then they will have no comparison to link back to proposed evil desires for the future. And if our brains are bombarded with mixed messaging, deliberate confusion and censorship, then we begin to accept ideas which would previously have been unthinkable. The unthinkable becomes acceptable and eventually becomes the desirable outcome.
It is no coincidence that Google’s AI tool is called Gemini, its renamed Bard. But we must question how AI is being used and whether it is for our benefit. At some point it may well be scanning our thoughts. Maybe we should also consider that if our brains are hackable, is AI itself hackable? The introduction of Edge computing shifts data processing from centralized cloud centres to device proximity, ensuring quicker analysis and heightened security. Edge AI marries artificial intelligence (AI) with Edge computing by bringing AI algorithms closer to where data is produced (the InternetofThings). And Edge AI will be required for managing smart city infrastructures, self-driving cars and more effectively enslaving its citizens. What will the once unthinkable mean for our society?
We can see, therefore, how a society can be easily and quietly controlled. What is important to realise though is that the elite/controlling classes have always behaved in the way they are now. They have always ridden roughshod over the masses seeking ways to bring in their own desires for pure profit. They have just been waiting for the technological progress to enable them to implement a lot of their far-reaching policies in a much bigger way. That progress, however, via the internet has also brought about something very new for them – connected communications (Gemini) for all of us. A curious and wised-up public is able to keep up with their antics in real time if they choose to. Hence the increase in the mind-influencing techniques, the censorship and the attempts to ridicule anyone who speaks out in an attempt to control. If humanity is to survive, we must be more curious. Gemini is one of the most adaptable signs in the zodiac – it connects and joins. It recognises that one ripple in the ocean will influence the tsunami thousands of miles away. Gemini recognises that nothing stays the same. Learning about mind control will enable us to better understand our own fears, our own behaviours and our own belief systems. Learning about mind control will also help us avoid the ambushes and traps laid down for us by the ruling group in power – because they all use mind control. And when they make some missteps - which they will - then a new era of truth, justice and morality will begin. When that happens, we will be perfectly positioned for success moving forward.
Pluto is currently retrograde in Aquarius as he prepares for his final short stay in Capricorn (the sign of the corporates and of government), and we are well aware now of the widespread corruption that exists. We are well aware that our assets are being stripped bare by the likes of the water companies, the Post Office, the pension funds, etc., all at the expense eventually of the long-suffering taxpayer. Pluto in Aquarius suggests more power to the people is coming. However, we must take care that the devolution of power does not become a mere façade. The reality may be that the people are directed towards decision making from pre-determined conclusions. The Delphi technique is an influencing technique where the arguments that are set up have been carefully crafted to lead to the same pre-determined conclusion. The people might think they are getting a say, whilst the illusion of choice has been created.
The astrology is telling us that a new era has begun and is still unfolding as part of a long process. By summer next year we have so many planets all at early degrees, indicating the grass roots of new beginnings. Plus we have the three outer planets (Uranus, Neptune and Pluto) making a small triangle, supporting each other. These planets very much represent the collective and we have Neptune at the apex of this triangle, suggesting that we must transcend our limitedand limiting perspectives to discover our own empowerment. Society appears to be exhibiting signs of ‘learned helplessness’ bringing with it a sense of apathy that there is nothing the people can do. Repeated exposure to negative, traumatic events, the like of those that have happened over the last four years, potentially culminating in WW3, have led to the feeling that nothing can be done, and we might as well just submit. Our spirit becomes completely worn down. Learned helplessness does not mean we are unable to do anything about our situation, it just means that our world has become an illusion where we are controlled and humanity has absolved itself of responsibility for the future. With Saturn squaring this New Moon, we must learn resilience to take our own personal responsibility for shaping and creating our realities and working with the energies that will present themselves.
There’s so much Air energy within this New Moon chart – we must learn how to use it in terms of thoughts and curiosity, else we will just be blown about in the wind. All New Moons require new intentions. Choosing mind over matter often brings a successful conclusion which, without the power of our will, just would not occur. The human mind might behave like a computer, but it has consciousness, it has will, it has feeling, it has love and it has instincts to draw upon. Never underestimate the power of the intelligence stored within the plasma energy of the ether that the mind draws upon; never underestimate the power of a group meditation and a personal meditation; never underestimate the power of prayer as minds join together across the ether/plasma. Mind-influencing, especially in a world of the Tik-Tok attention span, is actualising a silent coup of humanity, as we stand on the edge of a new civilisation based very much on technology and AI. Our personal resilience is the key to staying human and staying curious - and curiosity is the key to life itself, particularly within what appears to be a mad zombified world. The appetite for new experiences is an expression of the will to survive and the result of natural curiosity and we need these new experiences if our minds are to continue to function as they were designed to.[2]
