Do you hear people saying that they are feeling stuck? A bit trapped? Like they’ve reached the end of their tether and that things appear quite bleak and hopeless? What do you say to them? Maybe it’s you who is in that position yourself. Feeling hopelessly stagnant, or just pressed against a wall, waiting for someone to come forward and lead the way, inspire you into action. This state of affairs is quite dangerous because firstly, it suggests that you are so dependent on your external reality that you are being anchored into inertia, and secondly because your own personality is offering a passive resistance. It means that you are withdrawing further and further from your higher self and resigning yourself into the grim prospects of this three-dimensional plane – this soon to become realm of the living-dead.
This is the main awareness this week.
In just this last week, the debate over our fundamental rights and freedoms has quickly escalated into astronomical levels of confusion and deception, false joy and superficial relief – a by-product of Mercury’s hovering square over Neptune, both planets in their signs of domicile (since early May). After such a sustained Mercury transit, it is no surprise to feel that much has been going on, not only behind our backs but also using smoke and mirrors right before our very eyes. Cheated and befuddled doesn’t even begin to describe it.
The actual direction we are taking starts to come clearer from this week on, and like we have just awoken from a bad dream, we find that we may be living the greatest fantasy since Cinderella was refused a ticket to the ball by her narcissistic ugly step-sisters. Someone has been manipulating the entire bum illusion the whole time. And our struggles until now have been extremely unfair and most unnecessary.
With Venus trine Uranus, it is an awakening all the same. Now out of his retro-shadow, Mercury bullets forward to become thoroughly refreshed with a smart awareness of some cold hard facts. As this week progresses him into the Jupiter/Uranus midpoint (Friday) the truth shall set us free indeed, but free to do what, exactly?
Well, we finally all wake up to a world where things are evidently in dire contrast. The sheer distinction of the shades between us is so obtuse that the intensity almost threatens to offend our subtle sensitivities. Things seem so intense that any action conjures an immediate emotional reaction.
People, circumstances, events are suddenly appearing more extreme. We might have expected as much by now and I have been writing about the great divergence of 2015 since the beginning of this year. It is finally happening, full scale. The return of Saturn into Scorpio, still in retrograde, seems to be dredging up a lot of karmic backwash from 2012-14 for us to deal with. Not only is our external reality being injected with every stinging jab of Saturn’s disciplinary measures, but with Pluto’s tight-hold choke (in semi-square) for the next two months, this asphyxiating condition is set to exasperate us all into an exacting execution of the most excruciating existentialist extremities that humans have have experienced since… well, the last world war (WWII).
Yes, things are looking extremely dire.
Everywhere you look, the signs presented are no longer deemed as moderate. They are designed to get you to react. Strongly.
Extreme views procure extreme opinions. Which in turn become fostered into extreme beliefs. These then foment into extreme reactions and before long all of our ‘reality’ is ruled by taking extreme measures to prevent any further backlash to the counter-measures that we all find so acute… and [gasp] so… the end result, it seems, is that we are ripping at the seams, and what’s betwixt and in between may henceforth never to be seen.
The great divergence is here. Line in the sand situations abound aplenty.
Everywhere you look there are two kinds of people. Your kind and that other kind.
Let us not be fooled. This is no longer a world where we are allowed the freedom to celebrate the beauty of the diversity in each other. The discernment process is becoming highly simplified and much easier to denominate. Everyone can play. The split is down the centre, and the distinction is very clear. Left or right, right or wrong, black or white… us or them. The choice is yours. And your media will ensure that you have all the necessary assistance to make that choice quickly.
The Capricious Full Moon
With the Capricorn Full Moon this Thursday, a Moon whose conjunction to Pluto is screaming of extreme public reaction, pitted of course against a Sun/Mars conjunction in the emotionally reactive Cancer, we see nothing less than an all-out effort to have our personal views manipulated by emotions tied to our fundamental survival instincts, and similarly an all-out tug-o-war becoming waged to have those views become engaged into a diatribe of world division and spatial inter-separation.
What does that mean? Well it’s not a pretty place. Unless we are enlightened, it will become easy to lose our balance here.
The contrast is becoming so much more astark. Such is the influence of Mars/Pluto on the Full Moon. With the choice becoming that much more obvious, the decision is so much easier to make. This is because it is done with a gun to our heads. The action is becoming easier to take because it was under life-or-death directions. Results are manifesting faster. But are they they taken willingly? Or are we being taken for a little walk along the garden path?
Retrograde Neptune’s sextile to this Full Moon means there are healthy dosages of sugar to make this nasty medicine go down. It may be the saving grace to all this, but the actions are extreme, none-the less.
Things are changing most severely. As we can see all around us, people are moving by the throng. But is it the change we wanted? What purpose does it serve to us be under the illusion of liberty when all around is a growing personal debt and discontentment to the point where many are ready to just break?
All over the world there are events that are clearly precipitating towards a crisis point this week. The Cancer Sun/Mars conjunction means that outward activity is being governed from the pit of our stomach, or gut sense of security (or insecurity if you rather). When the Moon, ruler of Cancer, influencing the public mood, or ‘vibe’ amongst the common people comes to oppose all this on Thursday, it will do so in the socially responsible and somewhat personally repressed sign of Capricorn. We will sense an unusually immense conflict within ourselves. Such is the powerfully controlling spirit nature of Pluto that many will be at the mercy of the invisible forces lurking in the lower astral planes of the fourth dimensional field. Entities collecting in this place are an accumulation of all our unresolved ills, and all stray evil thoughts that gather unfulfilled. These lurk about, waiting for opportune moments to earth themselves by invading those most susceptible, successfully corrupting lives.
There’s a lot pulling on our heartstrings right now. On one channel we are being constantly told what’s trending. It the usual deal, it paints a picture of a world that is increasingly at unrest and full of scary radicalized violent outbursts. It looks like one random eruption after another, and the eruptions are not only increasing in frequency but the scale and severity of these is reaching proportions that are ever more difficult to manage, especially since they are slowly happening closer and closer to home.
On another channel, people are desperately trying to keep things positive by escaping into all sorts of evasive measures. Sugar, starch, medicaments, alcohol, television, retail shopping, pollyanna spirituality, sex, obsessive work regimes, thumbsucking – whatever numbs the pain of dealing with the abrasive possibility of hearing any unpleasant news.
Possessed by Madness
Those trying to make sense of all this by remaining centred and reasonably mild are having an increasingly difficult time of it because the distractions are so extreme. It is not easy to find a point of stillness when the world is on the brink. This Mars/Pluto Full Moon is square the Nodal Axis. The Nodes, that common thread which connects us all together in spiritual evolutionary terms, are being short-circuited at the moment. We are instead beginning to feel a spiritual disconnection from each other.
Of course, the reminder will be to not take things so personally. Easier said than done though. Sometime it seems like the universe is testing you on that one. Sometimes it seems like everything is conspiring to make you mad.
The qualities of greater love and unconditional understanding are being severely tested by this enormous pressure at the moment. And to stay centred is going to take some massive strength to not become possessed by the madness and the mayhem that is starting to whirl around us.
“When a man is possessed by an evil spirit
The qualities of humanity are lost in him
Whatever he says is really said by that spirit,
though it seems to proceed to come from that man’s mouth.
When the spirit has this rule and dominance over him,
the agent is the property of the spirit, and not himself;
His self is departed, and he has become the spirit.
When he returns to himself he knows not a word of it.”
~Rumi
In a sense we are been assisted here by the great waves of light beamed through the earth by this blessed universe, allowing us to see in frequencies uncommon to us ever before on such a collective level. Yet, whilst this light is available to all, not many chose to see it. Many others simply are not capable at all. This much is obvious.
What is also obvious is that the masses don’t trust anyone but their government to make all their decisions in this world. Of course, who else seems more qualified to lead us around like a flock of sheep? It is the supreme job of our government and our God to look after us and guide the way towards our economic and spiritual well-being, right? And by government we are talking about that leader who constantly reminds us that our affairs are different to those of all our sleazy, jealous, invasive neighbours. And by God we of course mean those high priests who preach that our god is the only supreme deity that exists and is patently better than all those other phony gods that other religions follow.
So it is between church and state that we can easily see where the inspiration for most of our division is coming from. Economy and faith.
For many this period appears as incredibly unsettling. For those who are used to having things stay in a fixed place, this is indeed a deeply disconcerting time. It ought to be. Those who have become so deeply entrenched in age-old ways, those that have so much investment into a predetermined expectation of the future as was presented in that sales brochure, especially in an age where light travels across the globe so rapidly, are certain to experience all sorts of mayhem and disruption. The bandwidth of updated information being transmitted instantaneously across the globe from moment to moment is phenomenal – one’s mind can hardly even comprehend the phenomenal rate of communication possible with just the mere spark of an idea in the human mind. And one idea is all it takes to enter the mind of a very influential person.
Ultimately those with the most influence are going to want us to see things their way. And they may try and leave you with no other choice.
The great divergence is upon the human kind.
And yet, with Uranus in Aries trine to the Venus/Jupiter conjunction, the lightning flash of greater love and understanding comes when we see the full spectrum of light, with all its iridescent rainbow colours.
This is going to be a challenging week, this is for sure. The only suggestion I can make is to be mindful of the tendency to lapse into extremities. Know when you go too far into any personal activity that you risk creating a world of unbalance. In that realisation, breathe yourself back into the centre of your being and ask yourself: Am I exploring the full spectrum of possibilities here or am I becoming possessed by the madness that’s around me.
Yes, there are indeed two types of people. Those who see rainbows, and those do not. Help them to see.
Stay protected, play safe and act responsibly.
Have an amazing week.
