It's the most auspiciously supernatural time of the year, but sometimes I'm haunted by the ghosts of Samhains past, reminding me of times of being spiritually unmoored and vulnerable to energetic predation.  My thoughts turn to being in all kinds of ritual circles when living in San Francisco, many anchored in the all-you-can-eat new age buffet with the main event the annual Spiral Dance.

The Spiral Dance was culturally lifted from a European tradition whose remnant can still be seen in the Chain Dance of the Faroe Islands.  Also, here's an image from the Netherlands circa 1939 of what's called the Serpent-Labyrinth dance.  

While not a tradition that lines up with Samhain in the Faroe Islands, the tradition shows what likely used to be widespread in Europe and involved the whole community.  Just imagine the energetic power, the currents moving through as ballads are sung that tell the story of the folk.  

For those that love the time of the thinning veil and all things mysterious, this upcoming Taurus Full Moon looks set to deliver.  Smack dab on the 31st, it's beckoning those of us that want to find something authentic beyond all the election triggering and doom and gloom of the mainstream death cult.  The fork in the road or bifurcation is real - some seem to be succumbing to the delusion while others are seeking to live outside it.  The choice is between the natural and the artificial, as it has been for some time.  The other choice seems to be between some sense of health and chronic dis-ease.    

What's notable is that the scrambler or genius-striking planet Uranus will be aligned with the Moon and that means directly opposite the Scorpio Sun.  In my dreams, people spontaneously shake off the artificial rules being imposed from the top-down and realize the urgent need to authentically re-root in nature and its cycles.  For each person, it could be taking steps to create natural abundance or realizing there's a path of freedom (also a Uranian theme) beyond some kind of hold on the psyche (Scorpio).  

I also think some might see the image in the mirror change with Mercury in Libra (still retrograde).  It seems like a fine time to clear the air in a relationship and change together.  Or the events of the past could be seen in a new light, which helps with the letting go which happens this time of year to make room for the new.

I had made a recording for this post, but realize Spreaker charges for more storage, so I will take that as a sign to take a breather from making audios.  Thank you to those that listened, and I wish you a wonderful Halloween / Samhain.  

Finding comfort in being true to what feels natural. 

Venus in all-natural Virgo will feel the LOVE when meeting up with the three biggies in Capricorn (Jupiter, Pluto, Saturn) this week.  What's favored:  the true meaning of what's essential, patient attention as a show of care, thoughtful gestures, earthiness, commonsense, awareness of commonsense, artisan goods and crafts, homemade gifts, nuances and subtleties, purging what's toxic.  

Deep honesty and truth emerges.

Mercury Rx in Scorpio will be opposite Uranus in Taurus, and then on Saturday exact to the Sun, making this a week for news or realizations that really set things in motion.  It could be revelations that unravel something or expose what's really going on.  More may surface from the tech-entrainment trance.

The Plunge in the Dark

The Sun in Libra is making a square to Saturn today (the 18th), before going into Scorpio on the 22nd for more spiraling inward and cozy nesting in the darkening time of the year.  I reckon this Sun-Saturn angle could bring out edginess in relationships, an awkwardness due to changing conditions....some of this could be growing pains, part of a maturation process.  What I like about this time of year is the promise of real to-the-roots change that comes from going within, in anticipation of emerging again in the spring.  ​

​I saw this gem - "don't worry about the election, save your soul..." and it reminded me to stay alert to what's happening beyond the political theatre.  For those who can handle some advanced truthtelling, I recommend listening to Mike and Tabitha's new show Expedition Esoterica in which they conclude that the plandemic of 2020 is a false flag for transhumanism.  

I woke up mulling this over, fitting for the astrology of now - Mercury turns retrograde in Scorpio today with its themes of possession, enslavement, trauma, hypnotic suggestion, rituals of control, etc.  It's daunting to realize how much of our "culture" has been one of programming and numbing our senses.  And that though much of the steering was leading to this dystopian turning point. we've already been living under an artificial or alien influence.  It's a challenge to deprogram and detox, but this is the mercurial season for it.    

In an on-the-nose example, all the pics in this post are from the plandemic pre-programming from the 2012 Olympics in London.

It's important to find a way to fall in love with real life again.  I've noticed this for years, how real life becomes dull and the vivid color and entrainment of the virtual is an escape from it.  There's even a physical aspect to entrainment to TV and the current technologies that's altered our brains, engendered passivity.  Some may have to literally fight to stay human (such as not having their genetics altered), while others may not even know there is a threat.  
​
Mercury's retrograde in Scorpio can be a time for getting to the source of trauma, but also to look at ways we may be programmed at the subliminal level.  I know I've realized programs that I was indoctrinated into and been amazed at how I didn't know what I didn't know.  The stakes are becoming higher now, as it appears those in control are going for a new stage of enslavement.  

The knowledge of how the mind is controlled is power, however.  It leads us to making better choices and not living in a state of induced trauma.  This affects our relationships, of course, and how we engage with the wider world, too.    

The general trend across many generations has been toward dehumanization, treating children in school settings like animals or biocomputers to be programmed to serve the powers' agenda.  This has struck at the heart of European civilization since it goes against the idea of each of us being ensouled and capable of excellence.  The challenge is one of healing from this demoralization and remembering who we truly are.

I like the mood-setting possibilities of this Mercury retro, starting this week on October 13 in deep-water Scorpio.  The truth about a situation could be dark, but lead to objective clarity when Mercury retros into airy Libra toward the end of the month.  

I made this recording on the retrograde, with some thoughts on the "virus" as a psychic attack on the public and mind control in general.  The  stars seem aligned for more to be set free by realizing the way our society is manipulated for the agendas of others.  Having a clear picture of what's really happening helps each of us make the best decisions for our future, beyond choices made out of fear.  This is along that theme of 'coming to your senses" that culminates with the Full Moon in Taurus on Samhain (Oct 31).  

It reminds me of this quote:  "Men, it has been well said, think in herds; it will be seen that they go mad in herds, while they only recover their senses slowly, and one by one."  Extraordinary Popular Delusions and the Madness of Crowds by Charles Mackay.

In the recording, I read a bit from Dion Fortune's Psychic Self-Defense....she writes among other things that a vegetarian diet leads to hypersensitivity in the European and isn't good for those under psychic attack.  She recommends plenty of sunlight to strengthen the aura, along with "games, physical training, massage, anything that improves the bodily condition..."  

The changes this year affect most of us, and some of us may be doing battle in some way.  It could be fighting authority or it may be something within, like wrestling with your own confidence to deal with all that's happening, restrictions, upheaval, etc. 

With Mars still retrograde in Aries (to November 13), it's a good time to root out habits of passivity.  One way that's a part of our culture is how we chill and absorb others' vision of the future through movies or TV shows, so many of them dystopian.  Another is going along with the hive mind on social media without using our reasoning minds. This is a time (Libra season) when visions of alternative way could come into view, in an inverted world, the flip side could be the right side.  

As things heat up into fall and winter, it's wise to think strategically about battles.  Here's a quote that has the Aries imperative of being singular and potent playing against a force that's likely bigger than you (represented by the planets in Capricorn).  Again, it could be fighting 'the Man' or it could be a showdown with your own ability to take yourself seriously, be the authority or author of your life.  

All the cardinal (initiating) energies will be engaged since a Cancer Moon takes us into Saturday, making everyone more sensitive and perhaps looking for a safe harbor in all the chaos.  Mars Rx forms a grand cross with the Sun Libra, Moon Cancer, and the formidable planets in Capricorn, so for some, this might feel like a hanged-man kind of weekend....the timing of events may seem beyond our control.  Mars makes things seem urgent and pressing, so even if the timing isn't right to act, there may be a way to prepare for what you sense might lie ahead...  

Biggies:  

Mercury Scorpio opposite Uranus Taurus - Wednesday, Oct 7, 4:55 pm EDT
- Themes:  speaking a dangerous truth, letting chips fall where they may; commonsense prevails in narrative of control; reality and the truth of the senses trumps hypnotic messaging; breaking spells by standing on firm ground; care for the body leads to miraculous healing/freeing of the mind.  

Mars Aries square to Pluto Capricorn - Friday, Oct 9 at 9:19 pm EDT  
- Themes: waste or corruption ended through courageous action, take care around potentially volatile situations or people, the vitalized individual confronts what's not working, dead, or dying.

Venus Virgo trine to Uranus Taurus - Saturday, Oct 10 at 7:08 pm EDT  
- Themes:  The senses and sensual experiences free the mind from weighty thoughts, doom and gloom; a surprise new connection or network gives a comforting sense of security; healing may be a matter of withdrawing from toxins or purifying from them, finding more nurturing ground.

I spent time this weekend purging ten year's worth of papers, pictures, and memorabilia from an old shed that let in the dampness of our swampy environment.  Since we lived in a converted schoolbus for ten years, that was our storage place, and maybe it was for the best because there was no waffling - most of it had to go....it was splotched with mold or just had that smell of being altered by dampness.

I thought I'd feel more sadness at seeing much of it go but no, I think I've been through a real death and rebirth this year with the strange spring and summer of 2020.  I know many of us have felt drawn into something that feels larger than ourselves.  Still, our way of adapting and finding a new way to frame our world is going to be very personal.  Maybe that's the essence of the Mars (Aries) engagement to all those planets in Capricorn.  I am encouraged by the fighting spirit I see awakening in the face of all that's happening.      

...because the "society" encourages the creation of a false self, an avi, while all kinds of programming creates fog and inversion - the artificial is elevated, even in the strangely sterile trumpeting of "artificial intelligence.".  The intent to get real, though, is powerful in 2020 and Jupiter is an ally in Capricorn, the earth sign of being the author of your own life.  What's hot - commonsense, traditions, meritocracy, wisdom (not smarts), honor, strength.

It makes sense that an establishment with slavery in mind seeks to undermine and cut those roots to deep ancestry.  The two main roots of our identity - race and biological sex - are the target of intense and relentless programming now, the likes of which I've never seen before.  The aims behind these actually have theological roots, the end goal is transhumanism and a monoculture that is the dream of those in power. The distractions du jour are political theatre and project fear - these harvest your energy...remember that old saying, "Energy flows where attention goes."  

I've found a rich path of growth in something I've always been interested in - the history of my lineage, the European peoples.  I see race as an expression of nature, so the establishment's attack our people face now is like trying to rid the world of the great oak tree or hunt down the last lion.  It is natural for European people to be centered in their own culture, to be "eurocentric," just as it is for any racial lineage.   

The coming together of Jupiter with Saturn (structure) and Pluto (death and rebirth) later this year is  a chance to grow from the authentic roots of ancestry.  The whole year has a very Jupiter-Saturn-Pluto in Capricorn feel to it, but the final exact alignment will be on November 21st.  Many of us are being swept up into something "bigger than ourselves," which makes sense with Capricorn being a sign of society, traditions, shared harvests, preserving for future generations, authority over your own life.  We're in a kind of end game, one that demands we go along with a ritual of dependence and dis-ease.  

A lot of what's happening now could be considered the consolidation phase of global control, a vision that has been long in the making.  We can invest in another path by retracing our steps to times when our people were strong and had power in their own lands.  Along those lines, I really enjoyed this audio from Nordisk Radio - An Introduction to Indo-Europeans.

Jupiter has been supported by dreamcatcher Neptune with a sextile (a lesser trine) all year, and October 14 heralds another exact alignment.  It's a good time to dream with the senses, with water and earth coming together.  In the autumn, maybe that kind of evocative mood can be set with the aromas of the season.  It's a great time to rest, which is hard for many of us (myself included), but only in those deeper relaxed states do we see the buried treasures rise to the surface of our minds.  

Yes, I am available for readings - go to the Readings page.

October is here with its two bookend full moons, starting on day one with the Aries Full Moon.  I see this as an invitation to stand apart from the madness, tune in to what's calling you.  With a trine to Venus in Leo, you can be reminded of what's special about you, and possibly gifts or potential you'd like to develop more than you have.  With the current angles in play, you might find yourself breaking from "norms" (like the new (ab-normal), authorities, or stifling beliefs.  Watch that your rebellion isn't co-opted or steered in unhealthy directions but grounded in what feels authentic to you.

There's so much noise and even the tech in our lives creates dissociation, but this is the season to fall into altered states with your timeless (less distracted) self.  

The Aries Full Moon is one to break from the hive mind. It takes a lot of personal will (an Aries specialty) to retain a sense of self with your senses engaged in the real world.  A practice like yoga or nature walks can be a daily anchor.  Even if you're feeling broken, you can set the intent to honor your uniqueness with time and attention through these coming months.  

​I recently confirmed the Cherokee lineage that we've always known about, which got me thinking about my visit with Elder Dennis Banks of the Ojibwa tribe back in November of 2011.  Founder of the American Indian Movement (AIM), he died in 2017 at age 80. We talked about how in contrast to the protests of the sixties (some of them not co-opted), young white Americans have "gone to sleep," living on the internet, and "while they've been sleeping and playing, somebody's been thieving and conning." He predicted America could take a beating and realize it was bankrupt - financially and spiritually - and then maybe wake-up.  

 Our differences are constantly exploited by those doing the thieving and conning, but many Americans are wild hybrids with ancestors on all sides of every conflict in this land.  


   

So many of us have known our culture and its economy are unnatural - out of sync with nature - but not sure what to do about it.  The speed of this lockdown (how very Saturn-Pluto) has been a shock even for me, someone who has been homesteading for over a decade, expecting something like this to happen.  Seeing the metastasizing materialism growing up, I always had a sense that this can't last forever....

I feel those familiar survival fears which are NATURAL in a society you sense is careering toward a dead end.  So is anger - I'm angry that so many will suffer from a great fall while others profit.  The crisis comes with control and an agenda but that doesn't mean those hellbent on wiping out the productive center of our society will prevail.

Each of us has the natural right to live and thrive as much as anyone.  We don't have to treat each other as pariahs (as I saw mentioned as a recommendation)...but double down on kindness.  A friend pointed out that social distancing seems to trend with Saturn in Aquarius (starting tomorrow March 21).  It's a curious phrase for a curious time.  I see a lot of equating virtual reality with real reality (of course, because of the circumstances) - this suits the technocracy but comes with the danger of becoming more disembodied and apart from nature.  

Will there be a shift of gravity back to the locale, the region, the nation?  The paradox could be that this reinvigorates the real relationships we have right around us - with each other and each creature that shares our day.  

Deep Breathing 

The instinct is to breathe shallow now, especially in closed spaces or if you are wearing a mask.  I found this short vid from Wim Hof, the Dutch "Ice Man" who takes dips in freezing water.  It's a quick way to "get high on your own supply" and boost your immunity.  

What a fragmented and chaotic time!  What good could come out of it?   

To ponder the as above, so below, we see the muscle of Saturn and Pluto with the hints of the consolidating 'new world order' (out of chaos). I also factor in the hysteria of Neptune and the entrainment of many in our traumatized society.  I'm not saying there's no real contagious virus, but the mind virus piggybacking on it appears to be the far more deadly one.

I'm feeling strangely calm and peaceful but feel the real challenges lie ahead.  You don't have to be a "psychic" to know that the chain reaction has been set in motion for a reset of the entire society in terms of how people make their living, their livelihoods.  I'll plant seeds for the spring garden and put away a few cans of this and that - what are your plans?      

​The Corona Mind Virus 

I also feel the need to not be lackadaisical about my spiritual wellness.  Are you feeling this, too?  
One of my main ways to do that is to limit emf exposure - 5G and wifi in general weakens the immune system and also disrupts the pineal gland, your center for higher guidance.  That makes all of us susceptible to the hive mind phenomenon that is so strong right now.  

Corona, of course, means crown, and when that chakra has interference, you can become depressed and feel cut off from your own higher nature.  I know I'm closer to it when I have a lot of synchronicity happening, and am able to remember dreams.  

In the midst of this pandemic pandemonium, there is the chance to return to what matters.  The Sun's corona or crown are those spiky rays that you see sometimes especially at sunrise or sunset.  Two constellations have this name also - Corona Borealis (crown of the north) and Corona Australis (crown of the south).

This culture offers no visions of a bright future - I am fed up with the dystopian films and books fed to young people especially.  The moment now can be one of envisioning a future rooted in the natural abundance of Mother Nature and kissed by the Sun.  

The Sun is healing and is bigger than any lab-made virus - it is eternal and reliable from season to season.  Let's celebrate the Sun today on Spring Equinox.
