Piercing the Veil
We are in the midst of powerful eclipse energy as we mark five years since our lives changed in an irrevocable way. It’s so hard to believe that the first lockdown was five years ago isn’t it? Currently we are moving from the energy of a total lunar eclipse to one of a partial solar eclipse, which is basically an extremely powerful New Moon. All eclipse periods though are times of extreme events – times of endings and beginnings.
The Solar Eclipse falls at 9 degrees of Aries, a Cardinal (action oriented) Fire sign. Aries is the first sign of the zodiac, accentuating the idea of new beginnings and, as the first sign, Aries also tends to put the ‘I’ into everything. The equinox on March 20th heralded the beginning of the astrological new year, a beautiful sunny day in the UK; spirits were lifted as the new beginnings of Spring showed themselves, psychologically bringing the feeling of an end to what has seemed like a long dark winter. And this eclipse, visible across Europe, is still in range of the Sun’s entry into Aries, so the feeling of new beginnings and, therefore, endings, continues its potency.
In the eclipse chart most of the planets line up in the adjacent signs of Aries and Pisces – energies which are not particularly compatible energies. Together they tend to bring out lots of ideas that might get started but go nowhere and come from very ‘me, me, me first’ desires. Saturn sits on the Midheaven next to the North Node which suggests to me issues that stem from a desire for control but not necessarily in an ethical manner. Saturn makes a harmonious aspect to Mars which is both ‘out of bounds’ and conjunct the Ascendant. So we have an undignified Saturn working with an unpredictable and also undignified Mars. Both are angular and both with little dignity.
This will be a particularly significant eclipse, partly because just the day after Neptune will begin his journey into Aries, taking us closer to a historic Saturn/Neptune conjunction. Why do I say ‘historic’? Firstly Saturn and Neptune meet every 14 years – you might say well that’s clearly not an annual even but not exactly rare. What makes this both historic and rare is the fact that the exact meet is at 0 degrees Aries, a degree of world significance. And you have to go back a long long way to find that.
Pluto has already begun his journey into a new sign, and the rest of the zodiac from Saturn outwards will follow suit this year. What will it mean for us? What will it mean for the world? We have no choice anyway but to go forward into the new with courage. Aries is the fire that can fuel the energy of our vision, our imagination and our desires with new ideas and with courage. It is the energy of the warrior and the brave. It is the energy of the new – new ideas, new ways of thinking and new ability to stand up against the tide. Aries is the leader who goes against the grain – he is not the follower who blindly believes and does everything that he is told. He is the fire that can blaze a trail or a fire that destroys!
With both Neptune and Saturn energy in Pisces we have got too used to a veil being put over reality and truth and too used to our minds being influenced and overtaken by outside forces; outside forces that have become more and more slick and sophisticated. But as Neptune enters Aries the veil should begin to drop. I say should, but people seem unwilling to leave the comfort of their control – a bit like Stockholm syndrome. However, when Saturn enters Aries in May – well, that’s the point the gloves come off and we face one big reality check.
Saturn/Neptune conjunctions also historically relate to Russia, and we are all hoping for something positive to happen with the war (Aries is God of War) in Ukraine. And we see this Aries Solar Eclipse making a ‘hit’ to Russia’s Mars. Talks are ongoing but I very much doubt that we will see Putin behaving like a pussy cat; particularly when we also see that the eclipse highlights Zelensky’s South Node, which suggests that he must give up something, let something go. On the one hand we have the USA appearing to be seeking peace whilst the so-called ‘Coalition of the Willing’ seemingly holds a very different attitude. This eclipse suggests it is still a tinder box and to me does not bode well for an easy peace deal.
I was asked very recently by an astrologer friend, who had predicted very hard times for the UK some while ago – ‘How can the UK be saved from itself?’ An interesting question because most of the UK probably has no idea that it needs saving at all. People might think that we need saving from the current Prime Minister, but they have no idea how deep the rot goes. As a nation we have been broken by various ‘bad actors’, and we have one of the very worst on the stage right now. The previous Labour government had already bled the country dry as our assets (gold) were sold off by Gordon Brown. Then five years ago the unimaginable happened. Under a Tory government we were paid to stay at home, paid to go out to eat (eat out to help out) – remember all those catchy little phrases? While the Sun was shining here in the UK every day, there weren’t any planes in the sky and people were being paid to stay home. Seemingly happy days but in the background the economy was quietly being demolished – and one day the ferryman would turn up and want paying. Has that day now arrived?
Our financial systems are just about holding together with worn out glue and sticky plasters. Neptune is a significator of both debt and water – countries are literally drowning in debt. Indeed the world is drowning in debt. When Saturn joins up with Neptune the reality (Saturn) of that debt will hit us. A good war that fills the coffers of the military industrial complex is regarded as a solution to this debt. You might say that this is a sure way to add to the debt, but in the eyes of many of our illustrious leaders it is a way to reset the books. In the UK we can already see the plundering of all the accounts in a money heist - savings accounts, pension funds; you name it and they will think nothing of robbing it. But when Neptune enters Aries we see the fire of reality, which will be added to when Saturn follows suit in May. The Aries knife will find the ‘sweet spot’ where the veil can be pierced (Mars/Aries) to allow it to be torn away into the reality check of a new world.
I have just re-read the first two books of Philip Pullman’s Northern Lights trilogy. It reminded me that I used to delineate the role of the ‘daemon’ in all charts, because it represents the role of the Soul and the qualities the Soul needs in order for the individual to function at their highest possible level. The horoscope is a roadmap towards our own personal individuation, and we can’t really evolve without understanding our own Soul. How can we make the best of ourselves and live at the highest possible level according to the gifts we have been given? The daemon is a particular function of ancient Greek thinking. In ancient Greek religion and mythology a daemon was regarded as a guiding spirit of the souls of men of the Golden Age. According to Hesiod the people of the Golden Age were transformed into daemons by Zeus to serve mortals as their guardian spirits.
One tradition of Greek thought was that the daemon existed within a person from birth. In Plato's ‘Apology of Socrates’ Socrates claimed to have a daemon that warned him in the form of a ‘voice’ against mistakes but stopped short of telling him exactly what to do. Therefore, the daemon could be regarded as the inner consciousness of the human soul. Pullman cites children in his trilogy as being most affected by the presence of their daemons, personifying them into animal figures. If they are separated from their daemons they literally go out of their minds, experiencing a kind of vegetative ‘death’ where they can no longer function. Gradually we have been separated from our soul functions. Are mind influencing techniques responsible for this?
Just the day after this solar eclipse Neptune will enter Aries, marking the beginnings of the Saturn/Neptune conjunctions as Saturn follows Neptune in May. The conjunction does not perfect absolutely until March 2026 but it will be nigh on well before that so we will see the effects. Neptune entered Pisces in 2008 and Saturn in 2023 and since Neptune’s entry there has been a huge uptick in techniques to make us see a world that is unreal. In other words we can’t see through the veil that has been drawn. But that will change dramatically soon as that veil is pierced. In Pullman’s trilogy Will gains custodianship of the ‘subtle knife’ which allows him access to other worlds through specific portals where the knife can cut through to an entry. Maybe, as in Pullman’s fantasy trilogy, there are other worlds in existence or perhaps the ‘other worlds’ are the ones we create in our minds.
The UK is affected by the solar eclipse which hits the Descendant, squares the Sun (leaders) as well as the MC/IC axis. The Descendant is the point exactly opposite the Ascendant which I have spoken about a lot lately in terms of the unconscious point where we form our perceptions and our views. The Descendant marks the beginning of the 7th house – the house of ‘others’. And ‘others’ can range from our most significant other to our ‘open enemies’ and this eclipse falls just marginally into the 7th house of those others. If, as I believe, there is and has been a veil drawn over what is actually real in our lives, those who have drawn that veil in order to influence our perceptions are much more likely to fall into the category of ‘open enemies’. But, if we have also been separated from our daemons/our souls, we are not functioning from our truths. But that will begin to change as Saturn/Neptune brings in its own controls and reality checks.
Later this year as the major planets begin to all move into new signs and we see a shift from Earth and Water (the feminine) into Fire and Air (the masculine), with nothing in Earth. Earth bring us the gifts of stability and perseverance so we will all need to work hard at staying grounded, whilst at the same time having conscious awareness of what is happening in the world and what other solutions are just waiting, seeking a problem which can bring in the desired solutions? Is their solution now to insidiously create a digital control system. With Saturn and Mars both sitting on angles, and both debilitated, the digital control grid which is so desired by our leaders is like a cage just waiting for the door to snap shut. The million-dollar question, which I can’t answer just yet, is will Saturn’s desire for control and order win out or will Neptune’s dissolving nature wash the controls away? And will the invisible insidiousness that is the dark side of AI seep in and pervade us with invisible controls. We are still in the year of the snake and will be for the whole of 2025. Snakes slither around silently. They hide in the grass ready to pounce. They are quiet and very sneaky. Only those who are watching intently will spot them. You won’t hear them, and their kill will be deadly!
As I said at the beginning of this article five years have gone by since we were locked down by governments’ reaction to a virus, which only days before had been downgraded and no longer considered to be no longer an infectious disease of high consequence. This is just an example of the doublespeak we have seen since then. And it strikes me that double speak is indeed a crucial part of mind influencing. We were meant to be confused that something that shut down the whole country, if not virtually the world as a whole, should be of great consequence, but yet had already been downgraded. Why? Because confused minds are much easier to influence and only the few will see how illogical all of this is. How many minds are still being taken in by a downgraded virus whose death age average was 82!!!!!
And it still goes on. It seems that as crises go the war in Ukraine and Covid are interchangeable in terms of fear porn. We have no money for essential requirements in the UK and yet we seem to have millions, if not billions, to pass on to support a war. It’s easy to find the real facts as to why Russia invaded – I have detailed them in my blog – and yet we are encouraged to believe that one leader is a threat to the whole world, even if that threat has not been made. It’s all doublespeak and it’s all meant to confuse.
Perhaps one of the biggest examples of doublespeak is that, if people were surveyed as to whether they considered their politicians to be truthful, you would receive a negative response. And yet these same people will trust these same politicians unquestionably with decisions on their health and with the millions/billions being sent overseas without any accountability to the masses whatsoever. Are we not worthy of being shown where our money is going when we at home are suffering? Does our money get syphoned straight into the BlackRock coffers? It seems these decisions are so big that it is unthinkable in the minds of the masses that they could be deceived by their own government, who they perceive as acting ‘in loco parentis’. And this reported today from Martin Armstrong - The European Union has a “new normal” for bloc resolutions that no longer require unanimous votes. Hungary adamantly rejected the proposal to send 20 billion Euros to Ukraine. To be passed by EU rules a unanimous proposal is required. So what happened? The bloc merely changed the rules and determined that unanimity is no longer a requirement!!!! Here we see the effects of a sneaky Mars, an unethical Saturn and a slithery snake in the grass.
There is so much playing out right in front of us and yet so many who are still thinking everything is just fine. However, the time has come for me to change things up a bit. Dr. Joe Dispenza’s recent blog talks about ‘changing boxes’. As he says ‘you can’t solve a problem from the same level of consciousness (or unconsciousness) that created it. This means you have to reach a greater level of consciousness than the one that’s actually reinforcing the issue at hand. When you’re triggered by a problem or situation, you’ve most likely experienced it many times before – meaning it has an associated neurological network in your brain. This means you have emotions associated with the problem, as well. These well-established connections create a vicious cycle whereby your reaction to the situation – real or imagined – is actually feeding the problem with the same energy. And if you keep feeding the same problem with the same energy, you get the same reality.
If thoughts are the electrical charge that you send out into the field and feelings are the magnetic charge that draws reality to you and how you think and how you feel is broadcasting an electromagnetic signature on a moment-to-moment basis, Dr. Joe continues, then your memories of the past and your reaction to your outer environment are keeping everything the same. In other words, how you think and how you feel creates your reality. And if you keep thinking and feeling the same way, then your life will remain the same.
Certain things are happening in my own chart which suggest that I need to make some changes/transformations. I want to deal with some topics at greater depth but the brevity of the blog does not allow that. I want to go back and work with the daemon and the soul. I have thought about writing a book, but my headspace is full right now. So I have to create space and energy. Therefore, this will be the final blog in this format. I will be back, but at the moment I am not sure of the format. And the fact that I have been doing this for five years made me sit up and think. How does time run away quite so quickly? In the meantime I would urge everyone to listen to the alternative news programme UK Column – they have contributed so much to my knowledge. Do look them up. I want to thank you all for reading, and I hope my blog has had a positive effect and provoked thought. I’ve been lucky that I’ve got through those five years with absolutely no trolling and that is amazing. But it’s time for me to change up the energy in order to get a better and a different result.
