Aquarius Keynote
“Water of life am I, poured forth for those who thirst.”
(Full Moon Jan.28, 2021. 19.16 UT.)

“This constellation [Aquarius] is one of supreme importance to our solar system at this time, for it is the sign into which our Sun is rapidly moving [for the next 2,160 years] and its influence is gaining in momentum and added potency with each vanishing decade. It is, therefore, largely responsible for the changes now being effected in our planetary life in all the kingdoms of nature, and, because it is an air sign, its influence is all pervasive and inter-penetrating.

To many types of mind, this influence is intangible and must, therefore, be unable to produce the desired results; yet the fact is that these intangible pervasive results are of far greater potency and are far more extensive in their effects than the more concrete and spectacular happenings.”1

Introduction
Friends, 2020 has been a very tough year and 2021 is shaping up similarly. Just because Jupiter and Saturn have gone into Aquarius and the US government has changed, does not mean that this year will be any less onerous. We will all be challenged to raise our game, pluck up courage and take a stand against some overwhelming controls and dictates.

Because of these creeping encroachments, some are saying “I cannot do this”, or “What am I here for?” Those kind of statements are a luxury few can afford, there is no time for fretting or worrying about the future, or wasting time on frivolous distractions – but to keep building the emerging Aquarian paradigm that will replace the old Piscean model – gradually crumbling away.

Individually we might feel powerless, but in the spirit of Aquarius, collectively we are far more empowered – to find our voices, well beyond the sum total of our parts. Collectives of resistance and like-minded groups can be joined or organized – according to personal predispositions and where we think we can contribute and make a difference.

2021 is a make or break year – when you look back upon it, will you be able to say that you “strained every sinew” and bought all you could to bear – to bring about change within yourself, your group and your community?

New Year 2021 Summary
New Year during Capricorn is always an opportune time to reflect upon the year that was (20-20 hindsight) – and the year that is now – 2021. Two-faced Janus, the god of doorways, beginnings and transitions, looks backward and forward.

We reflect upon the year’s achievements in the sign of Capricorn, the mountain top of material and spiritual achievement. We look forward to the following sign of revolutionary and radical Aquarius, to reform the rigid patterns of the status quo – symbolised by Capricorn.

We ponder our failures and make new year’s resolutions; we resolve to rectify wrongs and renew our “vows”; it’s not unlike the process that the soul goes through when passing into the afterlife. Reflect, resolve, renew – and relinquish regret. All these R words: R=9, the number of initiation, whose glyph suggests rising upward to embrace spirit, the heavens. (There is also the Master R!)

Capricorn is one of the signs of death, of completion, the 10^th sign, the number of perfection; it is the doorway into renewed life – hence Janus and January, the 20^th of the month when the Sun enters Aquarius.

Capricorn is a sign of initiation into the mysteries and its ruler Saturn, currently in Aquarius with Jupiter – ensures that humanity will have to step up in 2021. Individually and collectively we will all be required to tread the burning ground of the lower self, yet also “stand our ground” – re-claiming the “captured” territory of the Higher Self that is at-one with all Selves/souls.

New Year chart for 2021

Due to the global crisis of 2020 – arguably the most significant since WWII, many succumbed to depression, fear and futility – dread, angst, overwhelm, feeling trapped – with uncertainty about the future. With the moon in Leo in the New Year’s ingress horoscope – closely opposite Jupiter in Aquarius – 2021 loudly exclaims the imperative to cultivate the Leo polarity of Aquarius – courage, more than any other time in our lives; and in the Aquarian way, staying tuned into the networks of other like-minded souls and co-workers who are all striving to birth the new paradigm of Aquarius.

In those groups lie the support, love, will and wisdom that inspires the “courage contagion”, strengthening individuals and groups to transcend the maya and glamour – with which the Material Forces have been trying to swamp Humanity – and to which some of us have succumbed.

Moon-Jupiter in Leo-Aquarius are in a T-square to radical game-changer Uranus in Taurus – a pattern that conditions much of 2021, where the old, entrenched forces (Saturn) will be trying to keep the upper hand, holding rebellious Uranus at bay.

Uranus is the esoteric ruler of Libra which is rising in this Western hemisphere chart, indicating the collective soul purpose – the cultivation of peace, right human relations and justice for all.

New Moon in Capricorn (Jan.13, 05.00 UT)
This was a very potent new moon – conjunct Pluto the Destroyer, a major force for breaking up crystallisation – from which Capricorn suffers more than any other sign. This is due to the fact that Capricorn and its ruler Saturn are adept at the magical creation of geometrical thought-forms – that lay behind this sign’s manifesting skills. All thought-forms outlive their usefulness at some point, and must enter into a cycle of death and dissolution.

Capricorn New Moon Jan.13, 2021.

The new moon occurred during a critical period in the USA – when the Democrats were launching impeachment proceedings against Trump, a week before Inauguration Day. The White House at that time also provoked China in Taiwan – the latter tactic apparently recommended by the military generals who felt that Biden will be too “China-friendly” – and who wanted to act before Trump leaves office.

Pluto with three-headed dog Cerberus and Shiva-like trident.

As with the theme of Pluto, there appears to be much going on behind the scenes that is not being reported or is not given emphasis by an ever-controlling Big Media; their assault on free-speech is a pandemic in itself, with accounts being closed on social media, or algorithms employed to minimise the exposure of posts that do not conform to a one-sided narrative.

The lockdown/lockstep of Covid virus response tactics has segued (segwayed) into a similar control over political views; this is a very worrying trend (emanating from a left polarised Silicon Valley), that must be bucked in 2021 – if Humanity is to escape these ever-increasing controls.

The new moon/Pluto fell opposite USA’s Mercury in Cancer – activating the natal Pluto opposition, hence this Capricorn new moon was another major stimulation of the nation’s Pluto return in early 2022. Trump’s Venus and Saturn in Cancer are positioned one degree either side of USA’s Mercury in Cancer, whose Sabian Symbol is, “A leader of men wrapped in an invisible mantle of power.”

USA and Donald Trump. Note Trump’s Sun-Moon in Gemini-Sagittarius straddles USA’s troublesome Mars in Gemini.

Hence the power struggle that continued right up to and beyond Inauguration Day – with impeachment proceedings etc. In the Inauguration chart explored further on, there are strong potentials for explosive protests implied by the conjunction of Mars to Uranus in Taurus, through their square to Saturn and Jupiter in Aquarius. May the Aquarian soul of the nation prevail – Liberty!

Mars’ Entry into Taurus (Jan.6-Mar.4)
Late on Jan.6 (GMT) Mars entered Taurus, after lingering in Aries for six months, due to its retrograde and direct motion. It is said esoterically,

“Mars is in detriment in this sign. Its activity adds constantly to the naturally warlike nature of Taurus but the potency of the Taurean struggle is so great, esoterically speaking, that the effect of Mars is lost in the larger whole. It, “adds to the glamour and confusion and yet holds within itself hope for the struggling [wo]man.””2

Why is Taurus described as “naturally warlike” when it is ruled by “peaceful and harmonious” Venus? The answer lies in the fourth ray of Harmony through Conflict, the only ray to pass through Taurus and its polar opposite Scorpio.

The fourth ray rules Humanity as a whole and through striving upon the way of developing higher consciousness, successive conflicts are met – and a balancing of the opposites takes place. Hence, harmony is accomplished until the next crisis presents itself. The conflict is also represented by Mars the god of war, ruling the opposite sign Scorpio, where tests are applied:

“Constantly in this sign [Taurus] comes the emphasis upon struggle. It is a cosmic, planetary and individual struggle, for desire-will underlies the manifested activities of the Logos, the planetary Life, of man and all forms in nature.

It is the struggle of that which is deeply hidden in darkness to reach the light of day; it is the struggle of the hidden soul to dominate and control the outer form, the struggle to transmute desire into aspiration and aspiration into the will to achieve. It is the struggle to attain the goal which an increasing light reveals. [Taurus is, “the mother of illumination.]

… on the reversed progress around the zodiac, the struggle is to overcome and destroy all that has been so laboriously achieved upon the ordinary wheel – and to demonstrate in Scorpio … that the form no longer controls, but that the lessons learnt through the use of the form have been retained; the struggle is to achieve initiation in Capricorn and thus release the soul from the revolving wheel and achieve final liberation from the thralldom of desire and from form control of any kind.”3

Mars and Venus (Spranger)

Mars in Taurus is also the lusty, procreative bull. Yet in its higher creative capacity, Mars invokes the esoteric ruler of this sign, Vulcan the Smithy – who, “… goes down into the depths to find the material upon which to expend his innate art and to fashion that which is beautiful and useful. Vulcan is that which stands for the soul.”4

Mars in Taurus also stimulates higher creativity and artistic expression; it offers the opportunity for rough and ready Mars to meet with his refined lover Venus – and combined with the fourth ray force, make love through art, beauty and music.

In ancient mythology, the two rulers of Taurus – Venus the sublimely beautiful goddess, married to Vulcan or Hephaestos, the lame and “ugliest” of gods – a great illustration of the Divine Marriage and the reconciliation of opposites.

Mars will be in Taurus until March 4, and during the critical first eight weeks of 2021, promising a bumpy ride, “adding to the glamour and confusion and yet holding within itself hope for struggling Humanity”.

Joe Biden’s Imminent Fiery Mars Ordeal
During this period until early March, transiting Mars in Taurus will make some very challenging oppositions to President Joe Biden’s stellium of planets in Scorpio – Mars, Mercury, Sun and Venus; this will no doubt constitute a fiery ordeal during his first months in office. Added to the mix are Jupiter and Uranus in Aquarius – T-squaring the Scorpio-Taurus opposition.

1. T. Mars opposite Mars in Scorpio (Jan.28-Feb.2)
Starting just one week after Biden’s inauguration, right on the Aquarius-Leo full moon (Jan. 28) and when Mercury is stationary about to go retrograde, squaring his Sun and opposite his Chiron in Aquarius – this transit will amplify the war-like nature of Mars, creating a fixed grand cross.

With Jupiter making a close conjunction to the sun in Aquarius and squaring Mars, these forces are subject to even greater exaggeration. An event might unfold as a major crisis for Biden and the nation; it might even relate to Trump and his followers, given the synastry with Trump’s progressed midheaven/Pluto in Leo (power), and USA’s north node in Leo (the nation’s leaders).

Joe Biden’s transits and progressions.

Mars is the ruler of Biden’s Scorpio personality, so this configuration might express as coming under considerable attack from others (even another nation), and conversely, going on the attack as a defensive measure. But Scorpio’s are bred for the rough and tumble of politics! With all these activations by warrior Mars to his Scorpio planets, the theme of sexual revelations may come to light or be used against him.

Mars is the personality and soul ruler of Scorpio, and ruler of the solar plexus centre, hence the intensity of emotion at this time will be profound. These kind of transits can give a feeling of importance and dominance and can certainly feed arrogance.

Physical energy is usually very good, an important consideration for an aging man who will have many tasks that require sustained and concentrated effort, initiating many new projects. The difficulty with these kind of reactionary Mars transits is that its point of least resistance is anger, impulsiveness, harshness, aggression, impatience and lack of tact.

China Another factor with war-like Mars moving through Taurus, is that it might further stimulate China’s aggressive and ruthless stance toward the world – and its ongoing manipulative incursions into the USA. China is a Taurus soul, but like many other nations, does not express this energy from the level of the soul, but at its lower level, such as using brute force and dictatorial tactics. Bear in mind, dictators in history have had the sun in Taurus, such as Hitler.

Beijing is in close physical proximity to Shamballa, located in the Gobi Desert, allowing it to tap in more easily to the lower aspect of first ray power – which is also the ray of China’s soul.

2. T. Mars opposite Mercury in Scorpio (Feb.14-19)
Mercury represents thought and communication skills – and in Scorpio can be deep or deceptive. Criticism can be sharp, confrontational and vehement from Biden – and/or toward others. During this time the sun in Aquarius also opposes his Chiron which is natally squared by Mercury in Scorpio, representing the “wound” of speech (his stutter).

But Mercury also trines Jupiter in Cancer – having great potential for eloquence – an interesting duality. At the same time, transiting Jupiter and retrograde Mercury in Aquarius will be squaring Biden’s natal Mars, increasing tensions.

3. T. Mars opposite Sun-Venus in Scorpio (Feb.24-Mar.2)
What transpired in the previous four weeks of Jan-Feb will come to a head in the last week of February. This can be a very frustrating transit that will need a lot of self-control to handle rightly. Similar to the other Mars transits, it can easily manifest as anger and frustration – not being able to implement his will, possibly because of those who want to counter his actions. Personal ego issues run very high with a Mars transit like this.

Combative actions by others may also force compromises. With natal Venus in the picture, a severe strain on all Biden’s relations, both personal-sexual and political. With members of the opposite sex, perhaps a struggle with Vice-President Kamala Harris whose ambitious Saturn in Aquarius squares Biden’s Sun-Venus – ouch! Behind the scenes power struggles are also indicated by the transit of Saturn in Aquarius opposite Biden’s Pluto in Leo.

4. T. Mars in Gemini opposite Sagittarius Ascendant (Mar.8-10) When Mars enters Gemini it opposes Biden’s Sagittarius rising, his soul purpose – from the seventh house of relationships, continuing the theme of keeping the peace in all kinds of partnerships – the Libran/7^th house spirit of compromise in personal and professional associations. Transiting Mars ensures a rocky road in Biden’s first two months of Presidency – a lot of expectations are riding upon him, both nationally and internationally that will make or break.

USA’s Aquarian Soul Purpose
“Its Gemini nature and its Aquarian soul should (when developed and balanced) provide a most remarkable channel for human expression.”5

It is this young nation’s destiny to be a leader of nations, moving into the Aquarian Age. Aquarius is a sign of synthesis and sharing, and is a sign that rules at the soul level by only two other countries – Russia and the Netherlands.

USA and Russia (who will co-operate much more closely one day), are examples of widely disparate peoples and land masses – that have been brought together under one national jurisdiction – “many diverse nationalities found in the States and so fuse and blend them into an homogeneous whole.”6

The rulers of Aquarius are exoterically Uranus and esoterically Jupiter. Uranus rules the seventh ray of Ceremonial Magic or Order:

The seven rays as their colours.

“Ray 7. — Order and Magic, via Uranus. This influence is inherited from the Atlantean world, which still rules the territorial aspect of the States, which is a remnant of old Atlantis. It is this that produces the many magical, spiritualistic and occult groups which flourish today in the States.”7

Ray four has a close relation with the seventh ray – as the mediator between spirit and matter. This ray also complements the Aquarian skill of bringing everyone together – nationally and internationally:

“Ray 4. — Harmony through Conflict, via the Moon [hierarchical ruler of Aquarius], veiling in this case the planet Vulcan. Vulcan here “forges on his anvil, through fire and blows, that linking network which covers all the nation and makes it hold together.””8

The Moon and Mercury are rulers of the fourth ray – the moon being the ‘conflict’ part of the harmony through conflict equation:

“Ray 4 … expresses itself here through Mercury the Messenger, and emphasises the harmony aspect in contradistinction to the conflict angle which the Moon and Vulcan together have precipitated. It is the Moon-Vulcan relation which produces the political conflict which always rages in the States.”9

“Ray 4. — This influence appears, as you see, frequently, but this time it is through the Moon as it veils Uranus. This produces a conflict of a different nature than that which takes place when the Moon veils Vulcan or transmits the energy of the fourth ray direct.

Uranus is the medium for the seventh ray and the function of its blending with the fourth, via the Moon, is to bring about a magical relationship between the many diverse nationalities found in the States and so fuse and blend them into an homogeneous whole — which is not the case at this time.” [1940’s and still not quite today.]10

Aquarian esoteric ruler Jupiter, also rules the second ray of Love-Wisdom – the pre-eminent ray on this planet and the most influential upon the developing system we call democracy. USA and Britain are both second ray souls, deeply connected to the founding and development of democracy:

“Ray 2. — Love-wisdom, via Jupiter, thus linking the States closely with Great Britain and indirectly with France.” [and many other nations].11

Other rays that condition the USA are:

“Ray 3. — Active Intelligence or Adaptability, via the Earth, thus `grounding’ the American people and basically making the soil their problem. Hence the prominence of agriculture in the public consciousness [written late 1940’s] and the pre-occupation of the government with the cotton problems, the corn problem and many other issues of moment.

Ray 5. — Concrete Knowledge and Science, via Venus.  This confers the intelligence which is so marked in the American people and will eventually determine the lines along which their education will run and their religious organisations.

Ray 6. — Idealism or Devotion, via Mars. This greatly augments the sixth ray personality of the States, thus presenting very real problems in a young people who are apt always to be fanatical and exclusive. Exclusiveness is one of the major weaknesses of the sixth ray type.”12

USA & Washington Capitol Events Jan.6. 2021
The battle for the soul of the US nation continues – a phrase uttered from both sides of politics. As stated earlier about Mars in Taurus, “… the Taurean struggle is so great that the effect of Mars … “adds to the glamour and confusion and yet holds within itself hope””.

The storming of the building took place around 1 pm on Jan.6, just before Mars moved into Taurus, during the last degree of Mars in Aries – an apt symbol for the volatility and warlike nature of this sign which Mars rules; especially as Mars in Aries was squaring USA’s natal Pluto – a planet associated with insurrection.

Transiting Mercury (the ruler of USA’s Gemini personality), was exactly conjunct Pluto, whilst the moon was in Libra opposite Mars, creating a grand cross of formidable tension.

When Mars entered Taurus a few hours after the Capitol occupation, vote-counting resumed. The protestors were not necessarily representative of half the nation that voted for Trump (a poll suggests about 50%), but the incident underlines deep cleavages in the American psyche that have been decades in the making.

All of these events are unfolding on the eve of the USA’s first ever Pluto return (Feb.2022), already activated by the current exact opposition of transiting Pluto to Mercury in the 1776 horoscope. Mercury is the ruler of USA’s Gemini personality – the twins or warring brothers, so reflective of the current state of the nation. The effects of this Pluto return which has already begun, will probably last for the next five years.

The USA was founded upon The American Revolutionary War – fought against the British Empire, known also as the War of Independence. Pluto’s work is to destroy the crystallization and corruption that has developed in the nation since 1776 – on both sides of politics and throughout the entire culture.

When after the event, politicians and commentators retorted with statements like, “This is not who we are” – they sounded a bit hollow in light of USA’s history: Revolutionary and Civil Wars, massive gun ownership and violence – and an armaments industry that has profited from many wars in the last century, like Vietnam – plus, the funding of real insurrections in countless nations. This is exactly part of what the USA is, that must be recognised and owned – and must move away from; these are all expressions of its sixth ray personality, not its second ray/Aquarian soul.

The Pluto return, the destruction and transformation of all these old forms, will no doubt continue for the next several years, with reverberations for even a decade. A Pluto purge must take place if this nation is to regenerate itself like the proverbial Phoenix that will rise from the ashes – to fulfil its leadership role into the Aquarian Age, as an Aquarian soul.

On Jan.6, transiting Mars in Taurus moved into a T-square with USA’s nodal axis in Leo-Aquarius – the leader and the people. As stated earlier, the point of the north node is shared by Trump’s progressed midheaven and Pluto, hence the struggle to hold power.

The applying square became exact on Inauguration Day Jan.20 (see later for chart analysis) – when transiting Moon and Mars joined Uranus – all in the same degree of Taurus, squaring Saturn-Jupiter in Aquarius. Hence, this very high point of tension – approaching, during and after that date. Jupiter is the soul ruler of Aquarius – USA’s soul. Jan.20 is also when the Sun enters Aquarius on its annual cycle, hence the opportunity was great for the soul of the nation to be invoked – as it is every four years on Inauguration Day.

Mars will be in Taurus until March 4 and will create many challenges during these critical first eight weeks of 2021, “adding to the glamour and confusion and yet holding within itself hope for struggling Humanity”. The impeachment trial will now make it very difficult for Biden to bring unity to the nation, so the Democrats may have shot themselves in the proverbial foot! Says CNN,

“Next month’s trial will bring the outcast former President back to center stage, giving him yet another chance to claim that he is a victim in a never-ending partisan witch hunt and handing him a platform to rally his supporters at a time when he might have had otherwise had none. Biden is caught in an almost impossible vise as the nation re-engages in the most polarizing kind of proceeding that exists in Washington. He has insisted that Trump must be held accountable for the attempted insurrection at the Capitol on January 6.

The looming trial — which has the potential to inflame partisan divisions just as quickly as Biden was trying to squelch them — offers no visible upside to a President who was elected on his promise to bring the warring parties of Washington together and forge compromise in a Capitol that has been defined by strife.”13

Krystallnacht

As explored later in the newsletter, some in the esoteric community appear to have fallen for the left propaganda, with such misplaced videos as Arnold Schwarzenegger comparing the Capitol incursion to Krystallnacht.

Here is the glamour of a macho movie star, ironically a person who has been an icon of mindless violence, revenge and guns, guns, guns. (USA’s sixth ray personality.) The gullibility of those who watched this video and thought it was “a fantastic thing” underlines their ignorance about the real Krystallnacht that took place during Scorpio 1938:

“Jewish homes, hospitals and schools were ransacked as attackers demolished buildings with sledgehammers. Rioters destroyed 267 synagogues throughout Germany, Austria and the Sudetenland. Over 7,000 Jewish businesses were damaged or destroyed, and 30,000 Jewish men were arrested and incarcerated in concentration camps … 91+ deaths.”14

Hence, there is barely a comparison to the Capitol siege, where three people died of natural causes – one woman and one policeman were tragically shot dead. Glamour strikes again – the hyper-inflation of the news, hypnosis of the masses and a fictitious linking to historical events – that have influenced thinkers who might know better.

The Capitol siege pales in comparison with the damage done during 2020 by the far left BLM and Antifa – on many US cities such as Portland and Seattle, burning, smashing, looting – in a word terrorising, causing billions of dollars in damage and the loss of lives.

Even one day after Inauguration Day, these groups were at it again in Portland, but widely unreported or minimised in most mainstream news – no doubt to refrain from raining on the parade of the previous day’s Inauguration: “Nothing to see here, move along, everything’s back to normal”. Not.

Hence the Media studiously ignored the discrepancy between what happened at the Capitol, labelling it white/right wing extremism. If Covid-19 was the biggest lie since 9/11, then the Capitol “siege” appears to be a political whitewash that segues into, and is an extension of the Coronavirus propaganda that started in early 2020.

One fact that is not that well known, is that Fascism and Nazism have their roots in the left, most of us usually think of it being a right wing phenomenon. Others argue that fascism is the right wing of the left wing!

Either way, fascism exists on both sides of politics and is a lower expression of first ray energy emanating from the planetary crown centre Shamballa – increasingly unleashed direct to Humanity in this past century.

Inauguration Day Chart 2021: The Next 4 Years
Inauguration charts are cast for the same date every four years at midday, hence the Sun sign Aquarius will be the same, as will be the rising sign Taurus – for that time of day. Jan.20 is always an appropriate date – as Aquarius is the soul of the nation, and this year sees Sun, Saturn, Jupiter and Mercury all in this sign, packing out the 10^th house (government) of the horoscope below.

Inauguration Day horoscope, Jan.20, 2021.

Sun, Saturn and Jupiter in Aquarius all square Mars and Uranus in Taurus, giving potential for an extraordinarily tense four years – and perhaps even dividing the nation more deeply. The status quo of Saturn in Aquarius dominates from the 10^th house, “accidentally dignified”  – at complete odds with reforming Uranus in Taurus in the 12^th house of “hidden enemies”. Incendiary Mars conjunct Uranus adds to the tension here, chafing against the imposed authority of Saturn in Aquarius.

Students of astrology and casual observers have stated that Jupiter and Saturn moving into Aquarius will be the end of all our problems and that it is the beginning of the Age of Aquarius – both statements are overly simplistic and untrue. As explained in other newsletters, Jupiter and Saturn in Aquarius herald the next century of similar conjunctions leading up to the Age of Aquarius proper in 2,117.

In 2020, Saturn was in Capricorn mainly in its lower expression as global lockdown – Saturn the jailer; it continues its vice-like grip in this fixed sign Aquarius, again finding its lower expression as ruler of the first decanate of Aquarius, accentuating the concrete mind, especially with regard to exoteric science, presided over by Uranus, the ruler of Aquarius.

Hence, we are seeing already, as per pre-election promises, that the Biden administration is going all the way with the science of the World Health Organisation (WHO) – driven by people like Anthony Fauci, WEF and Bill Gates as servants of Big Pharma. In so doing, the Biden administration is ignoring the arguments of tens of thousands of medical experts and scientists from around the world. This is what Trump, to his credit, was resisting for all of 2020 – but was buried under an avalanche of media propaganda, blame, lies and fear.

One must ask the question, why has hardly any debate between medical experts been allowed on television stations around the world – on the issue of how to deal with the virus? This is glaring omission in so-called democracies that have had pandemic protocols dictated by a handful of powerful groups and individuals.

An omission that has not been critically questioned and is underscored by the fact that those professionals who have spoken up, have been severely censored when trying to share their considerable knowledge on Facebook, YouTube, Google, Twitter, Amazon, Apple and Wikipedia – the establishment of Big Media.

The implications are obvious, these groups are acting out the shadow of scientific Aquarius – selfish groups and corporations misusing their power, based upon their superior knowledge of science and technology. Hence again, the power of Saturn (the mind) in this sign and its misappropriation.

Left leaning students in the esoteric community who were jubilant with Biden’s election, must have known that pre-election promises were going to unfold – and that the mandatory vaccination which was once “conspiracy theory” – is now only just around the corner; an unnecessary and insidious measure for a majority of quite healthy people who already have good immunity,

Buddha – Temple of the Moon, Anuradhapura, Sri Lanka. (Author’s photo 1991.)

But for some in the so-called spiritual community, it does not matter as they have already quaffed down the kool-aid of the mainstream narrative, along with the rest of “unawakened” humanity – and will comply with what Saturn directs them to do. (“Satan” in his lower expression.)

On the other hand, the oft-vilified minority of free thinkers who engage in critical and independent thought, are represented by Uranus in Taurus – a sign known for its Buddha-like wisdom, also called “the mother of illumination”.

This is the main battle indicated in the Inauguration chart for all of 2021, between the Titans Saturn and Uranus. Uranus as ruler of the nation’s Aquarian soul must win out if the nation is to evolve and grow. It is also the main battle globally in 2021 between nations, groups, factions of groups etc. – for right choices to be made.

Portland

In the Inauguration chart, the moon is in the last degree of Aries, conjunct Mars in Taurus, the ruler of Aries. This combination is potentially volatile and explosive – indeed, this last degree of Aries was the same degree that Mars tenanted on the Jan.6 breech of the Capitol.

Pluto dominates the Inauguration horoscope from the midheaven, conjunct the Sun and square to the Moon in Aries – on the eve of USA’s first ever Pluto return, since its inception in 1776.

Therefore, weighing up all these factors above, the USA appears to be in for a very rough ride in the next four years – compounded by strife and disaffection from half the nation who voted for Trump and felt wronged at the outcome.The proposal of new domestic terrorism laws by the new administration will only add fuel to the fire.

With these kind of patterns, extreme violence is also indicated, including attempted insurrections or coups. The Biden administration has its work cut out and if it issues too many heavy-handed laws and protocols, they are certain to be met with much resistance.

Amanda Gorman’s Inauguration Day Poem
Whatever your politics, Amanda Gorman stole the show on Inauguration Day – with a moving and masterful rendition of her poem that touched upon many subjects – and the hearts of millions. A real mantric potency was present here – in her syncopation, phrasing and outstanding alliteration.

Then there is simply her own radiance enabled by her bright yellow dress, the colour of the fourth ray of art, drama, music and beauty. Some choice lines from her poem, “The Hill We Climb”:

“Where can we find light in this never ending shade … we brave the belly of the beast … and yet the dawn is ours before we knew it … we are far from polished, far from pristine … to compose a country committed to all cultures, characters, colours and conditions of man … we seek harm to none and harmony for all … victory will not lie in the blade but in all the bridges we have made … if we merge mercy with might … raise this wounded world into a wondrous one … “.

Speaking to the heart of the nation, Gorman was appropriately born in Los Angeles, the heart chakra of the USA – with Sun, Jupiter and Mercury in Pisces. Lots of sensitive water energy, augmented by a receptive Cancer moon. With Neptune, Venus and Uranus in Aquarius, she is a symbol of an Aquarian future that brings unification. (Aquarius is the sign of USA’s soul.)

Neptune the mystic and imagineer plays an important role as co-ruler of Pisces and esoteric ruler of Cancer – and is placed in Aquarius, to which it has an association with regard to the refinement of the astral body.15

Parts of Gorman’s poem are very moving, pointing to her ability to be a “channel” for her higher self – or indeed, other-worldly influences. With several Pisces placements and a Cancer moon, it is the ideal combination for a medium/mediator16, a role she accomplished so well on that day.

Amanda Gorman. (Time is 4:52 pm.) Virgo rising is the sign of the wordsmith par excellence: Paul McCartney, James Taylor, Paul Simon, Charlotte Bronte, Jack Kerouac, Oscar Wilde, Elizabeth Barrett Browning, Leonard Cohen.

Gorman has been inspired by poets such as Walt Whitman, who she feels have spoken to the ideals of a nation. Interesting to note that Gorman’s Mercury falls precisely on Whitman’s Saturn in the last degree of Pisces, perhaps indicating a karmic link. The following passage is Whitmanesque – with its bold and broad sweep across the nation:

“We will rise from the gold-limbed hills of the west,
we will rise from the windswept northeast
where our forefathers first realized revolution
We will rise from the lake-rimmed cities of the midwestern states,
we will rise from the sunbaked south
We will rebuild, reconcile and recover
and every known nook of our nation and
every corner called our country,
our people diverse and beautiful will emerge,
battered and beautiful.”

(See poem transcript here.)

Like some others who work with words or speak for a living, Gorman suffered a speech impediment from a young age, something she shares with Joe Biden. This was mentioned in a recent newsletter, identifying Biden’s Mercury in Scorpio square Chiron in Leo, as the “wound of a speech”.

Gorman’s soul purpose is in her Virgo ascendant, whose ruler Mercury is in the last degree of Pisces – so intuitively potent, especially with its close sextile to Pisces ruler Neptune in Aquarius, giving her the “gift of the gab” and ability to inspire through the spoken word. And the written word – Virgo the wordsmith. Mercury is sextile to her Gemini (ommunications) midheaven (career), which it also rules.

On Inauguration Day, transiting Sun and Saturn were conjunct her Venus-Neptune, most appropriate for her artistic expression that projected dramatically around the nation, speaking to its current condition – and what it might be.

When Gorman was commissioned to present the poem back in Dec.2020, the Jupiter-Saturn conjunction at the winter solstice fell on her Venus-Neptune. Gorman started and ended her poem with references to light:

“Where can we find light in this never ending shade … There is always light, if only we are brave enough to see, if only we are brave enough to be it”.

Belief, Knowledge and Illusion
When it comes to politics, the process of human thinking is highlighted – the duality of left and right, dia-logue and debate. At this Aquarian solar festival, it is worth reflecting upon the nature of mind and illusion, given that this is a “mental” sign ruled by “mental” planet Uranus. Aquarius is also associated with Saturn, the creator of thought-forms – and ancient ruler of Aquarius before Uranus emerged. Saturn carries over the old rulership now as ruler of the first decanate of Aquarius.

True dialogue that is based upon the will to know and consider another view, is the key to proper debate or rhetoric – which Aristotle calls, “a combination of the science of logic and of the ethical branch of politics”.

Much debate in Western culture is based upon the ego seeking to win or dominate, whose ambition can force over-ride on the rational, or tilt toward the proverbial jugular vein, the ad hominem attack – in order to achieve its objective.

If there is a predisposing belief in a topic, then everything will be thrown into an argument to support that belief. But it is still belief, a conviction – not necessarily knowing.

Belief and true knowledge are very different things – yet many people believe that they have true knowledge! It is said that “the muscle of emotion forms the foundation of belief” – to which can be added the cultural conditioning of centuries.

The underlying problem is that emotionally-polarised Humanity is still learning to think – and balance the “warring pair of opposites” upon the mental plane. Until that balance is achieved, we will still stumble through the veils of illusion. Yet, the invocation of the higher intuition (buddhi or direct knowledge) can help “render the veil”:

“Today we have reached a crisis in the field of human apprehension and can now enter into a new era wherein illusion can be dispelled and thinkers can begin to register accurately and without misapprehension that which the intuitives convey to them. This statement does not as yet apply to the general public. It will be a long time before they will respond without illusion, because illusion is based upon the thoughtform-building activity of the lower mind. [Note again this reference to the lower, or concrete mind.]

The masses are just beginning to use that lower mind and illusion is therefore, for them a necessary stage of testing and training and one through which they must pass or they will lose much valuable experience, leaving undeveloped their powers of discrimination …

… It is essential consequently that the masses are taught the significance of illusion and be trained to see and, choose the kernel of pure truth – in any presentation of truth with which they may be confronted. It is essential likewise that the world intuitives learn to use and control and understand the faculty of spiritual perception, of divine isolation and appropriate response which characterises the intuition.”17

Returning to the statement, “If there is a predisposing belief in a topic, then everything will be thrown into an argument to support that belief.” Hence, if you are a dyed-in-the-wool Democrat or Republican, anything and everything will be utilised to support that pre-disposition. Rationalisation by the lower mind, can make any excuses or explanations to support the point of view – make black appear white. To cultivate the apolitical (see following section), is to dispense with all these dualistic mechanisms and tread the middle way between opposites.

Media’s Global Take-Over
Big Media and Tech based mainly in Silicon Valley, CA have reached a point of almost absolute global control, determining and dictating to governments what people should think, how they should vote, protocols for Covid-19 etc.

The author is neither pro nor anti Democrat-Republican, but a recent example of extreme bias was the unprecedented coverage of the US elections and Capitol “siege” by 99% of the media, all supporting one political party – all chanting the same mantra. As an outside observer looking in, it was very obvious what was going on, perhaps not so much for those who live in the nation, absorbing saturation news coverage 24/7.

Now in Australia, Google and Facebook are threatening to withdraw their services since being challenged by the Australian government on their monopolies. To their credit, the Democrats in 2020 laid out a detailed case for stripping Apple, Amazon, Facebook and Google of the power that has made each of them dominant in their fields.

Now in Australia, Google and Facebook are threatening to shut down their services if a “digital news code” initiated by the Australian government goes ahead. Foster Gamble of Thrive fame states,

“Mainstream media tells us to resist conspiracy theories and that good people obey, while the number of supposed cases, our economy, our relations and our options just keep getting worse. But what if the media is itself an arm of a very real and dangerous conspiracy they are telling us to avoid?

Whether or not we trust these mainstream sources is at the heart of the great divide we are experiencing. Even a cursory look at who pays for the ads on mainstream news unveils a bias to support pharmaceutical interests. This is just the tip of the iceberg.” (Where the Real Sickness Lies – And How We Can Heal It. By “Thrive” creator, Foster Gamble.)

This current situation will stay the “same as it ever was”, unless there is a mounting resistance to these insidious and relentless controls. Humanity has had its will severely weakened and undermined – it is being herded into technological serfdom. The following passage was written during WWII, 80 years ago – but is still most applicable for today (author’s italics emphasis):

“The powerful thinker or the ambitious demagogue [or corporate entity], and the man with a true love of his country (but with his own selected ideas as to the right solution of that country’s problem) – are today availing themselves of the general inertia and of the world crisis and depression in order to impose (if need be, by force) those systems of governments and of control which will materialise their interpretations of the ideal.

These the masses have to accept, and because they normally take the line of least resistance without thinking, they are easily regimented into compliance. The argument of the leaders is that the masses have not the long vision, and do not, and cannot, know what is good for them …

… They must, therefore, be told what to do, and be led blindly or by force to that state and form of civilisation which the leaders and their associates believe (often quite sincerely) to be the best. In the process, those who disagree or who are thinking for themselves [independent, critical thinkers] must necessarily go to the wall and be silenced, for the good of the whole.

… Attack by one party upon another party in public, national or political life, or of one group of thinkers (advocating their peculiar ideas) upon another group of thinkers with differing ideas, has long been the custom. In this process the more powerful obliterate the weaker, and the masses are exploited and told what to do and to think, with no real effort to bring them into a condition of right understanding.

[Note all the dualities here!] … Militarists and pacifists in their many groups, Communists and conservatives, socialists and Nazis, republicans and Fascists, democrats and progressives, labour and capital, Catholics and Protestants, agnostics and fanatics, politicians and idealists, criminals and the enforcers of the misinterpreted law, ignorant masses and the intelligent few, plus the class distinctions, the racial differences, and the religious feuds in both hemispheres, have reduced the world to turmoil and complete disunion and feebleness.

… By the united action of the men and women of good will and understanding in every country and in every nation. Steadily and quietly, with no sense of hurry, must they do three things: First, they must discover each other and be in touch with each other. Thus the sense of weakness and of futility will be offset. This is the first duty and task of the New Group of World Servers.

Secondly, they must clarify and elucidate those basic principles of right living, good will and harmony, which are recognised, but not applied, by all right thinking people today. These principles must be formulated in the simplest terms and made practical in action. Thirdly, the general public must be educated in these principles. Steadily, regularly and systematically, they must be taught the principles of brotherhood, of an internationalism which is based on good will and love of all men, of religious unity, and of cooperative interdependence.

The individual in every nation and group must be taught to play his important part with good will and understanding; the group must shoulder its responsibility to other groups; and the responsibility of nation to nation and of all nations to the world of nations must be explained and emphasised.”18

Cultivating the Apolitical
The following quotes about partisanship are not easy ones to live up to. The author has been on the left of politics for most of his life, working in factories, transport and building industries in Australia. As a Labor voter, he was attracted to the ideal of better relations between capital and labor – a repeating theme in these newsletters – that have often quoted The Tibetan on the subject.

In the past four years newsletters there was felt the need for a partisan stance supporting Corbyn and Sanders in Britain and the USA – because of the social betterment principles for which they stood. But their respective parties surreptitiously and blatantly unseated them, their own best candidates. Now, like many political parties today, they find themselves in limbo, having lost the thrust of their original intentions.

This limbo-land is a temporary situation between the old order breaking down and new parties that will emerge. It’s interesting to note that both the Democrat and Republican “horror-scopes” have the Sun in Pisces, the age that the world is leaving behind.

Republican and Democrat horoscopes.

The Republican chart has a five-planet stellium in Pisces with Cancer rising – echoing their truly conservative basis. The Democrats have three placements in Pisces with intellectual Gemini rising, and two planets in Aquarius – the latter representing their “progressive” theme. But both parties are severely corrupted and compromised, bought off by Big Oil, Pharma and Wall St.

Striving for a non-partisan approach is assisted by exploring Libertarian views on the left and the right. Duality of left and right wing is transcended by the “bird” of the middle way, to achieve ultimate synthesis and unity.

The souls of all nations must be invoked by the New Group of World Servers (NGWS), just as the Aquarian soul of the USA must be invoked by meditating groups who are polarised neither to the left nor right – and who do not demonise political leaders.

“… partisanship is in no way a sign of spiritual development … ((A Treatise on White Magic, Alice A. Bailey. p.420.)) “No word must be spoken or written which could be construed as evidencing partisanship, or as an attack upon any ruler, any form of government, or any national activity. “Hatred ceaseth not by hatred; hatred ceaseth by love … Only principles of universal application must be expressed, and no partisanship is permitted.

No race or nation must be regarded (either in the spoken or written word) as of greater importance essentially than any other race or nation. Humanity as a whole must be emphasised. Yet those who think otherwise than this must not be subjected to attack. Racial hatreds, religious differences, and national ambitions are to be ignored by this balancing third group, the New Group of World Servers.

… [NGWS] never to identify themselves with any political, religious or social propaganda … is separative in its effects, and breeds divisions and hatreds … in a very difficult setting—to interject the theme of brotherhood by living in a brotherly spirit, and by expressing understanding and love.”19

As stated, not easy injunctions to live up to – especially if perceptions see the nation in mortal danger, precipitating civil war or Uranian revolution. Reflect for example, if the behaviour of the French aristocrats had been allowed to continue – the failure by the Ancien Régime to respond to increasing social and economic inequality. Sounds familiar to today but with different players does it not?

Without their uprising and revolution, France would never have struck a great blow for global Liberty, Equality and Fraternity; many of those hard fought principles are considered fundamental aspects of modern liberal democracy. Will it come to this again, on a global scale?

Messenger (Nicholas Roerich)

Politics of the Esoteric Community
In the “esoteric community”, there has always been a majority polarisation to the left of politics – for “progressive” ideas and a fairer deal between capital and labour. But for many observers, what was once left has become right wing or even fascist, due to the left (Democrats) losing sight of their original objectives – hijacked by other interests and corrupted by money. This has been a universal trend in many nations.

Nonetheless, from feedback the author has received, USA’s esoteric community has polarised even more acutely and fanatically with the left, in a blind idealism and through a bitter partisan hatred of Donald Trump. Some groups have even designated Trump as the “evil one” – when in truth he is no more “evil” than many other imperfect politicians – or ourselves for that matter! Other esoteric foundations are wholly endorsing the WEF’s “great reset” – are they asleep!?

A new McCarthyism has emerged with name-taking and list-making in politics – likewise in the esoteric community, individuals or commentators have been singled out to avoid, designated persona non grata or characterised as walking the “dark path” – Ooooh!

Much of this fanaticism emanates from the sixth ray personality of the USA, also conditioning the lives of many aspirants and disciples. For those not so influenced by this ray, it’s easy to see from the outside looking in – but very hard for those on the inside to perceive (i.e. in the USA), or even admit their cultural conditioning:

“The majority of those so working are sixth ray aspirants—those who have sixth ray personalities or whose soul ray is the sixth, plus those on all rays who have powerful sixth ray astral vehicles. These make the most effective workers in the group but are subject to one major difficulty.

Heart of Asia (Nicholas Roerich)

In spite of aspiration and good intention, they are seldom aware of the glamours which control them. It is exceedingly hard to induce the sixth ray aspirant to admit that [s]he is held by a glamour, particularly when it is glamour of spiritual connotation and of a very high order.

In their case, the glamour is enhanced by the energy of devotion which stiffens it and brings in a quality which makes it most difficult to penetrate. Their complete assurance proves a serious obstacle to clear-sighted work because that has all to go before the work of dissipation can be carried forward successfully.”20

The new Biden administration will be fulfilling its pre-election promises by continuing the masque-rade, mandatory vaccinations and basically supporting the LIE of Big Pharma, Tech and Media.

No surprises here – did the esoteric community think that there was going to be some instantaneous salvation and that everything would go back to “normal” –  with boogeyman Trump gone and Biden bringing a feel-good veneer of respectability to a “shamed” nation?  Again, we are witnessing propaganda at work for the masses and those who regard themselves as “woke”. As stated earlier:

“… the masses have to accept, and because they normally take the line of least resistance without thinking, they are easily regimented into compliance … the more powerful obliterate the weaker, and the masses are exploited and told what to do and to think, with no real effort to bring them into a condition of right understanding.”21

His Shadow (Nicholas Roerich, 1932)

As these facts start to dawn dimly on those who had otherwise vague notions of some kind of political nirvana – other realisations will make themselves known:

“… few people care to face the actual truth, for it involves eventually the abandonment of the beloved glamour and the ability to recognise error and to admit mistakes, and this the false pride of the mind will not permit. Again, I would assure you that humility is one of the most potent factors in releasing the illuminating power of the mind, as it reflects and transmits the light of the soul.

The determined facing of the factual life and the stern recognition of truth—coldly, calmly and dispassionately—will greatly facilitate the calling in of the flood of illumination which will suffice to dispel glamour … I refer here to the glamour of separateness … this separative reaction may express itself as hatred, as an active dislike or as a voiced criticism— perhaps, in some cases, all three.

… I would remind you that the favourite views and cherished beliefs of those to whom you are mentally opposed (often under the guise of a strenuous adherence to what you regard as right principles) are to those who hold them equally right; they feel that your views are erroneous and they regard them as separative in their effect and as the basis of trouble. They are, in their place, as sincere as you are and as eager for the achievement of the right attitude as you feel yourself to be.”22

World Winter Lockdown
“Now is the winter of our discontent …”

With Britain and many other nations in the northern hemisphere moving into another long lockdown – perhaps unrelieved until May (!), here is another shocking example of dubious fear and panic-driven methods to deal with this highly exaggerated epidemic.

Problem: “Pandemic”. Solution: Vaccine. NOT. The British public and many other nations are far from unanimous on this issue. (Transiting Saturn opposite Jupiter in UK’s horoscope.)

A member of the group SAGE (Scientific Advisory Group for Emergencies), that advises the UK government – has stated that lockdowns are useless, as reported in the Esoteric Astrologer, August newsletter: “Lockdown Was a “Monumental Mistake on a Global Scale”

Now there is emerging highly questionable speculation, if not blatant lies about “new Covid variants and strains” – just to keep the public in panic and under control. As regularly stated in these missives, the Nazi chief propagandist Joseph Goebbels, once stated:

“If you tell a lie big enough and keep repeating it, people will eventually come to believe it. The lie can be maintained only for such time as the State can shield the people from the political, economic and/or military consequences of the lie. It thus becomes vitally important for the State to use all of its powers to repress dissent, for the truth is the mortal enemy of the lie, and thus by extension, the truth is the greatest enemy of the State.”

The Aquarian Renaissance
See the author’s 2020 Powerpoint presentation, An Aquarian Renaissance. (This is part 1, part 2 can be accessed from the YouTube menu on the right hand side of the screen.)

Julian Assange: A Minor Victory?
On Jan.4, 2021 there was a victory in Assange’s long battle – his David against a Goliath phalanx of lawyers. (See Guardian article here.) A very interesting transit upon this announcement – Venus and solar arc moon in Sagittarius (truth), opposite Assange’s natal Venus in Gemini (disseminator of information). This natal Venus position is square to Pluto in Virgo, indicating his drive to expose the hidden and corrupt, in very detailed and comprehensive ways.

Transiting Uranus in Taurus has been opposite Assange’s moon in Scorpio in the 12^th house (prisons) for the past year or so. Now on the last pass of Uranus opposite his moon by early March, it remains to be seen if freedom loving Uranus will actually spring Assange from his long incarceration.

Julian Assange transits Jan.4, 2021.

Saturn and Jupiter recently entered in early Aquarius, are also in harmonious trine to Assange’s Saturn (law) in Gemini, which like Venus in Gemini, is associated with his dissemination of information and working in the IT industry all his life; especially when considering Saturn in Gemini opposite his Sagittarius ascendant, his soul purpose of truth-telling.

The exact conjunction of Moon, Mars and Uranus in Taurus – opposes Assange’s moon in Scorpio, squares USA’s north node in Leo (leadership/power). Given that President Biden has in the past characterised Assange as a “high tech terrorist” – proceedings may be re-initiated for his extradition to the USA:

“This guy has done things and put in jeopardy the lives and occupations of people in other parts of the world,” Biden said. “He’s made it difficult to conduct our business with our allies and our friends. … It has done damage.”

Biden and Assange synastry charts.

Biden has the power to pardon both Assange and Edward Snowden in his early term of office, creating a tremendous recognition for free speech. There is certainly nothing to be gained for the USA or Assange if he is made a scapegoat for the war crimes that this nation does not want to own. Biden and Assange have some interesting synastry:

1. Assange’s moon conjunct Biden’s “under-siege” Mars – a most troublesome combination.
2. Assange’s moon in Scorpio opposite Biden’s Moon in Taurus – also contentious.
3. Assange’s Mars in Aquarius square Biden’s Mercury in Scorpio – a volatile aspect.
4. Assange’s Jupiter on Biden’s Sun-Venus – promising.
5. Assange’s Venus on Biden’s Jupiter – also promising.

Given the multiple transits of Mars opposing all of Biden’s Scorpio planets in the next two months, the “Assange problem” is bound to re-surface. Biden may be tempted to use Assange as a political football to attract praise from “patriots” – let us see what unfolds.

Uranus in Taurus square Saturn in Aquarius 2021: Revolution of the Monetary System
Briefly, as this subject has been discussed before in other articles (see below), the Saturn-Uranus series of exact squares from Aquarius to Taurus in 2021 will be on Feb.17, Jun.14, Dec.24. They even track each other through to 2023, still in orb of influence but not exact as in 2021.

Saturn square Uranus promotes discordancy and disruption in the markets and some astrologers have forecast a 2021 global recession – “sharp and deep” through to mid-2023, with a recovery from 2023-26. Jupiter is also in the picture, transiting through Aquarius for all of 2021, and along with Saturn, they are the two main “business planets”.

As there is little room to discuss this subject in this loooong Aquarian newsletter, a few links below for those who want to refresh their memory as to the possibility of major financial changes in 2021:

WEF Forum Jan. 25-29, 2021: The Great Reset (WEF, Klaus Schwab and The Great Reset – Part 3)

The annual WEF forum spans the date of the Aquarius full moon period, Jan.28 – the WEF horoscope has the Sun and Rising sign in Aquarius. This year the forum will not be in Davos, but an online virtual press conference over four days. Like the aforementioned Tech Oligarchies’ selfish use of Aquarian energy, so the WEF adopts similar principles under the mantle of human betterment and philanthropy. The subject has been extensively discussed in recent newsletters in 2020:
WEF, Klaus Schwab and The Great Reset (Part 1)
WEF, Schwab and the “Great Reset”: Cyber Pandemic? (Part 2)

World Economic Forum (A private organisation) Aquarian sun/rising sign ruled by Uranus, planet of science, predisposes it to the widespread use of technology.

In the links above to parts 1 & 2 of WEF, Klaus Schwab and The Great Reset, not much time was given to the WEF’s horoscope analysis, except for pointing out that is an Aquarian sun and rising, which through its rulership by Uranus – the planet of exoteric science, predisposes it to the widespread use of technology.

However, the WEF has a very powerful stellium in Sagittarius – six placements: Mars, Jupiter, Neptune, Venus, Moon and the midheaven (career)! This is a good combination for striving to reach high ideals and making new orientations toward the future, using principles and ethics to guide the way. But it can also breed intense fanaticism, especially with Mars and the Moon in this sign.

Mars in Sagittarius has been dealt with in depth in a previous newsletter, but essentially expresses as an intense emotional attachment to philosophies or ideas, that can breed a rigid fundamentalism and fanaticism in religion, politics or the sciences. Mars and the Moon are the “bookends” to this Sagittarius stellium; the moon as the shadow – blind idealism, with a tendency to be evangelical or jihadist.

The Moon closely squares Pluto in Virgo, a challenging aspect for the right use of the power of the mind, to discriminate, discern, embroider philosophical ideas. This aspect can be very dominating, something to which Schwab is prone with his Sun and several planets in Mars-ruled Aries. Moon square Pluto can be destructive, emotionally intense, controlling, ruthless, obsessive, compulsive and manipulative.

Furthermore, to complicate some of these traits, WEF’s Sagittarius moon squares Schwab’s Pisces moon, compounding the possibility of emotional distortions and deceptions. Schwab’s moon is opposite WEF’s Pluto, hence a T-square between the two charts. All these factors can contribute to the development of a very forceful and dominating scientific fundamentalism – in Schwab and the entity he created, the WEF.

It is not unreasonable therefore, to entertain a healthy scepticism and concern – about the motives of Schwab and WEF, as outlined in parts 1 & 2 of WEF, Klaus Schwab and The Great Reset. Some might generously say that their motives are not “evil”, but appear to be at least philosophically misguided – through an over-reliance on technology and trans-humanism (AI, robots etc), at the expense of the human factor.

Klaus Schwab and the WEF

Current transits to the WEF are very dynamic, hence bringing it into higher public profile. The recent conjunction of Jupiter-Saturn in Aquarius, fell on the WEF Sun and will both proceed across its progressed midheaven and natal ascendant in Aquarius – over the next two years. In fact, at the date of this writing somewhat like an oracle in flashing neon lights, transiting Sun and Saturn were sitting exactly/closely on the WEF progressed midheaven and Sun in Aquarius – an interesting “coincidence”.

WEF transits and progressions.

In the next few years, WEF’s progressed Sun in Pisces will move into an opposition to natal Pluto, activating the square to the Moon in Sagittarius – and point of least resistance for the unconscious factors mentioned earlier.

In the one hour preview address at this link – The Davos Agenda 2021, Klaus Schwab states that “2021 will be a crucial, pivotal year for the future of humankind … a decisive year to recreate trust.” Readers can explore the rest for themselves.
