Elevate and Reset
On the 11th February we arrive at a New Moon in Aquarius and of course New Moons are all about new beginnings, new intentions and a new cycle. We have a line up of no less than six planets in the fixed, but future looking, sign of Aquarius – babies born at this point are going to be a very special group. We have lost that explosive Mars/Uranus conjunction but still we have its influence because all the Aquarian planets are linked in such a way that you could regard them as all holding hands together from the early degrees through to the later. The planets in the earlier degrees of Aquarius square Uranus and the ones in the later degrees square Mars, so in my book there is still an explosively difficult element to this New Moon chart. Maybe it is even more tense and explosive with so many planets involved in such stubborn and dogmatic signs. There’s no give, but then something eventually has to give.
We also have Mercury retrograde, which I know everyone panics about, but I guess at least something provides the scapegoat for anything and everything that goes wrong at such times. Personally I am very strongly Mercurial, but I never worry too much about these Retrograde periods. I always say they are just opportunities to go back over things – to re-assess and to re-consider, to check and double check. I always describe it as doing all the ‘re’ words. And within that I would put at the top of the list the word ‘re-sponsibility’. The whole point of astrology and your astrological chart is that it represents a road map of your potentials. Reaching those potentials in a positive fashion is the whole purpose of the Soul’s journey and it is the individual’s ‘re-sponsibility’ to do this, despite a rising sense that someone/governments must always be there with a safety net.
With all the Fixed energy in this New Moon chart there’s a tendency towards a fixity of beliefs, a stubbornness to see another person’s point of view and the potential for huge aggression if we get stuck in dogma. There is never just one way out, so healthy questioning of dogmas must not be shut down. Saturn and Uranus – the two rulers of Aquarius - will reach the first of their three exact squares for this year on the 17th February. This brings a collision of the old and traditional, versus the new and the forward revolutionary movement. Saturn limits, controls, governs, brings lack; he is cold and, in Aquarius, he supports dogmatic principles. Uranus is revolutionary, rebellious, reforming – he does not conform and for that reason often feels an alien in his land.
One of the crises reflected in the war between these two guys is highly likely to be experienced financially. We have so far been cushioned with loans and furlough schemes, but as the wealth gets increasingly funneled upward the already poor will carry a greater pandemic burden as we enter a period of ‘lack’ (Saturn). The Going Direct Reset – yes, there’s another Reset to add into the WEF’s The Great Reset and the Build Back Better Reset – will assure the bankers of complete control via a central bank digital currency, unlike the current crypto currencies which are outside their control. This Going Direct Reset will no doubt be on the agenda of the annual Jackson Hole meeting of the select cast of actors from the world of finance. Nothing wrong with that you might say – we don’t need cash anyway these days - but it does hold huge implications for a leaning towards the Chinese model of social control and monetary surveillance.
Sadly I have come to the conclusion that we live in times where we just cannot know if anything we are told is really true. Everything is manipulated to gain a desired outcome. We have elections of new governments all around the world all the time but still nothing much changes. Why is that? For a start governments are increasingly influenced by Thinktanks. So who runs the Thinktanks? Most Thinktanks are described as non-governmental organisations (NGO’s), with funding emanating from a combination of millionaire donations, individual contributions and government grants. Even the army has its own Think tank in the form of the 77th Brigade, described as an agent of change, supporting counter-adversarial information activity’. Wow! Who knew?
So, basically we have capitalists controlling the ‘political puppets’, with global domination as the goal, because we are told that approaches must now be global because problems are now too important to be handled nationally. The World Economic Forum is backed by the top 1000 companies and has organisations such as Facebook, Google and the Gates Foundation amongst its ‘strategic partners’. In the U.K. Dominic Cummings gleefully shares his secrets on how he cleverly won Brexit, having been commissioned by Tory party billionaire donors to create a team in which he carefully included front people such as Bojo. Cummings details how his psychologically persuasive tactics were designed to exploit and motivate the various elements and how the future is all about experiential psychology.
Brexit was a carefully constructed plan backed by those who, he gloats, ‘do not care about the people’ anyway. It was a very well oiled machine whose success lay mainly in ‘immigration’ and financial influencing. Similarly an upcoming article in Time Magazine details how a behind the scenes conspiracy, created by left wing activists and filthy rich ‘business titans’, joined forces to attain their desired outcome in the recent U.S. election. These are just two examples of what at best could be described as heavy handed bullying and at worst is an assault and a complete undermining of democracy. This is reflected in the astrology and is happening also in smaller ways all around us. My point here though is that we are constantly ‘persuaded’ via slick psychological manoeuvres to behave in certain ways without realizing why.
So back to my main point – Elevate and Re-set - where we re-gain and take re-sponsibility for achieving our Soul’s purpose. The tendency is to feel that there is nothing that the little guy can do so why bother. I said in the last blog that a touch paper had been lit and what did we see? David, in the form of the little guys on the Robinhood app, took on and beat the Goliath Hedge funders at their own game. The little guys were the many and, for once, technology and community gave them the ability to beat the big guys – the few.
The only way out of this constant ‘persuasion’ is Elevation. Saturn first and foremost teaches us about re-sponsibility and having personal re-sponsibility for our actions. Uranus, the Sky God, whose goal is re-form and re-volution, was the God who in myth decided that man needed the gift of Fire in order to progress. This was because from his position in the sky he had the full perspective of knowledge to know what was needed. If he saw a forest he looked at the whole forest and not just at one tree. This pandemic will pass – they always do – but the actions taken now may have consequences that last for a very long time.
The forest seeds the new saplings, but now and again it needs some help so that all these little saplings can see the sunshine and grow. Aquarius is about community. If there is an issue then the community has to take a view as to how to solve it. If the forest needs healing then it is the whole forest that counts. One of Aquarius’ skills is detachment and, as the higher octave of Mercury (the mind), it is that detachment that allows elevation in order to take a perspective of the forest’s needs. We must bathe and immerse ourselves in that forest in order to heal and we must find a way to elevate our minds away from fear. To navigate this crisis we need to avoid the ‘sheepspeak’ and allow our minds to expand so that we can accommodate the wisdom to understand the needs of the wholecommunity, not just a tiny proportion.
Aquarius is a quirky sign; he is an air sign but is represented by the water carrier. Aquarius’ symbol is two wavy lines. These lines could be waves of water or waves of energy through the air. Everything is energy or frequency. We are energy, the chair I sit on is energy, the air I breathe is energy. The Sun gives us life and is energy. Energy is made up of magnetic fields and we can turn that energy into power. Power as a physical reality to power our world and power as the energy that fires us. All matter is made up of magnetic fields in motion and all magnetic fields are aware of other magnetic fields. This is consciousness and consciousness is everywhere around us. The planets are parts of us and they are parts of consciousness. If we come together we bring a collective consciousness. When one magnetic field moves they all move in order to accommodate its movement. Never underestimate the power of the field and the power of the collective fields.
When we elevate and question, ‘we’ are the many and we, as in truth and love, are always the solution. A little while ago I wrote about being sovereign. We can all be sovereign beings, but if we are sucked in by those who try to ‘be God’, it is because we are not sovereign. One tree doesn’t always have a lot of strength on its own, but the forest does. So the community has to come together and find its forest of like-minded trees. Each individual tree has to stand strong and ensure its roots are firm. Lately I have been looking at the life of Nikola Tesla. He was not just a great scientist, what set him apart was that he was also extremely esoteric. He allowed his mind to elevate both esoterically and scientifically. He understood that everything was energy and that everything was consciousness. Tesla had plans for free energy but already in 1906 the global elite could not allow this to happen and, therefore, he could not get the funding he needed. How different would our world look if the needs of the community were put first rather than profit?
The Saturn/Uranus squares reflect that we are at a tipping point within humanity. The pace of technology is growing so fast that it is outpacing how we look at the ethical, the moral, the societal and the human needs that are affected by it. And when things become too great for our minds to deal with we tend to zone out. Sidetracked by consumerism we have forgotten what it is like to be human. Elevate and Re-set.
After the Black Death came the Re-naissance and can we now detect an innate undercurrent of spiritual awakening? We need to come back to conscious awareness and re-connect with what it means to be human. We need to connect with the energy of nature and bathe in the energy of the forest. As I said in the last blog we are the actors on the stage. You have to choose what part you will play and how you will play it. Firstly, we must acknowledge that every day we get out of bed we face risks for which we must take personal re-sponsibility. We cannot have a true life without risk. We need critical thinking rather than the relentless dumbing down of ‘the state knows best’. We can choose to walk into a world without democracy or we can recognize that ‘we’ are the change. The choice is to elevate a humanity that doesn’t realize that it is sinking into a non-human state. Elevate, Re-set and walk towards a society where the needs of the whole forest are put first, rather than the needs of the power elite. We have a choice. We put these people into power. We have to be the tipping point and the point of change. Wehave to take re-sponsibility and accept the excitement of a life with risk.
