Astro-Weirding Alert

You are not imagining it – the weirdness factor is at an all-time high. It’s half-scary, half-zany/good material for an edgy magical realist script.

Leo Full Moons are always a bit odd as they’re in the sign of the Sun but opposing the Sun. But they’re potentially super-creative and good for critical distance. Or, if your issue has been that you’ve been overly distant/detached, this Moon helps you recover your passion. Yes, relationships too.

As this one also squares the Lunar Nodes, think ‘direction change’ – actioned with enormous gusto and self-assurance.

Just avoid power-tripping and control dramatics. For example, you may literally know better than someone else or even have insider intel that confirms their current strategy is crap. Should you push this because your motives are so authentic? No.

It is not just a Full Moon thing. The emerging trend is that people want their privacy back and to be left (more) alone. One of the Saturn in Aquarius facets – aside from tech advances and a revival of anti-bra sentiment – is structured individuation. That is, people are formalizing their boundaries and levels of engagement with others.

Jupiter in Pisces nearing Neptune is magnificent: the Piscean sector of your birth chart energies is blessed now and through until May, then on/off for the rest of 2022. If you don’t where that is, a year ahead astro-report will reveal this zone! Notice, however, that Jupiter amps Neptunian vibe. Feeling more aware and compassionate to the plight of the voiceless in this world sounds nice but it can inspire melancholy.

If you’re Pisces anything or a strong Neptune, every one of your extra-sensory receptors is switched to high-receptivity right now. It is extraordinary for artistic inspo, psychic insights, and cosmic consciousness but take extra steps to protect yourself/your energy field. eg: Salt scrubs or showers, saging or space clearing, and being more mindful of the content you consume/people you hang out with.

Geopolitical What The Fuqery

The good news is that the scarier aspects of the current zeitgeist are more to do with an end-of-era leadership crisis. Culturally, it’s cooked: from Elon Musks’ hefty eight billion dollars to a ‘mystery’ charity – the truckers? – to the “woke” reboot of Magic Mike.

There is a new what-the-fuqery every day and at the very point that we crave transparency and open discussion, new “standards” about what you can and cannot say are popping up. As some of you know from having had ‘interesting’ upbringings, the tut-tutting ‘we don’t talk about that’ is rarely a successful long-term strategy.

Regardless of our personal opinions on public health or defense policies, we all need to be quick-uptake alpha-adapters and psychically agile. An example: It is strongly rumored that certain social media platforms are about to drastically downgrade/de-monetize/shadowban etc any content deemed as “alternative spirituality” or “new age” and yes, this includes Astrology.

The idea is evidently to emphasize only ‘licensed professionals.’ Keep an eye out for news stories to the effect that ‘X needed medication for their Y disorder but instead consulted a psychic.’

This Full Moon is aggravating the Pluto in Leo of several baby-boomer leaders, the Aquarius Moon of the USA country chart, and a whole cabal of late Scorpio placements in the natal chart energy of Joe Biden, the CCP formation, Vladimir Putin, etc.

Bad: The Canadian bank-freezing tactic is a dangerous precedent, no matter what you think about truckers or vaccine mandates. The Russia-Ukraine scenario is obviously a potential flashpoint and an Olympic games held amid substantial allegations of human rights abuses feels hideously like a saga we’ve seen before but thought was history.

Better: Lawyers have gone from being evidently imminently about to be replaced by a blockchain to being vital for checking/balancing power. Additionally, banks won’t want their money-earning ability impinged by having to administer freezes/thaws and the aggro around it, let alone a quazi social credit system if it escalated.

Russia/Ukraine is probably going to come down to leverage – who can exert what sanctions, haggling over the gas pipeline that runs from Russia into Europe, cyber-attacks etc. Putin is a chess and martial arts master who entered the KGB as a teenager: He has Saturn square Uranus and Pluto conjunct his Midheaven – I am not saying he is incapable of ruthlessness but his strategy is probably more complex than the current presentation suggests.

The CCP situation is also likely to come down to supply chain economics, resources hoarding, and/or a cyber-siege – unless, they have a revolution. However, it is worth mentioning that Uranus is currently at 11 Taurus, the point it was at in March 1938 when Germany ‘annexed’ Austria.

You could argue that Pluto in Aquarius has the form to be a high-tech dystopia but really, the most abiding theme of it is the rights of the individual. When I first wrote Pluto in Aquarius trends, I noted that the last time Pluto was in this sign was literally a revolutionary era. It seemed hard to visualize at the time but now? Not such a stretch.
