This weekend brings a rare cosmic convergence, one which hasn’t gone down since the days of Alexander the Great: the Mars-Uranus-north node pile-up in Taurus. I’ve written a bit on the matter (scroll down for more), but to be honest, I have no idea what’s coming. In my training for cosmic priesthood, divination and travel through the labyrinth, I’ve been given peeks — zoom-outs through the dimensional lens, revealing a much bigger system than I’d ever imagined. But some gates have to be crossed blind. This is one of those crossroads, after which everything goes blank.
So far, I have been reassured by the guides that everything is in order, that fate is set and that our responsibility, as individuals, is, more or less, to keep our room of the house clean. They’ve shown me buds of connection and community beneath the earth, yet to sprout, waiting for the right timing, and the right hands to tend to them. I know for certain that there’s a lot to look forward to, and that the language of “why bother, the world’s going to end anyway” has run its course.
This all sounds lovely, but of course I can’t get a clear answer on how to live peacefully when my shoes are made my slaves and my phone battery is mined illegally in the Congo. The artificial machine we live in is of no interest to them; it’s not of them. So we’ll have to deal with it, and whatever consequences it brings, ourselves. If the economy crashes this weekend, or some other blowup levels everything, it’s of little consequence to the ancient powers: Taurus answers to a higher authority, to a fertile moon and earth who were worshipped long before Moses, Mohammed and Christ came around. The changes to come will further our course of return to Avalon, and out of Camelot. It won’t be a smooth transition.
To understand where we’ve been and where we may be going, I offer some recent writings and podcast episodes, scaling centuries and eons and maybe even dimensions:
The main event: a column and podcast on Uranus in Taurus, and the reckoning we’re living through
A column covering Pluto and the future of technology and civilization through the 2040s (casual)
A podcast on Saturn in Aquarius and a column on Saturn’s 2023–2026 tour of Pisces
And, if that’s all getting too heady, some old-fashioned horoscopes for August
Of course, for a sense of personal direction, there’s no better gift than an astrology or tarot reading. August books are open, and gift readings are available. Why not orient yourself in the big picture?
See you on the other side,
