The current suffering and madness is forcing many people to go inward, not just on a physical level (staying inside/self isolation) but on the psychological too (meditation). Consciousness is demanding a transformation. It can no longer wait. Humanity will destroy itself soon unless internal changes are made.
Suffering is a part of life. We must let go and stop trying to control (Pluto) our lives. Most of who we are and what we do is not from conscious choice, nor is it from our “free will.” All will is bound by natural law; if not that, then by the God himself. This world is drowning in challenges and stress, unending evils and oceans of propaganda. It will not stop. You certainly can’t kill yourself. That is not an option as you have duties to fulfill here. But you must turn inward and away from this dark world towards the light: pure consciousness.
Mars Square Pluto/Saturn/Jupiter: The power of the individual is frustrated against the gargantuan powers “that be.”
Mars squared Pluto is all about unconscious power, squared Saturn: disciplining and learning patience before getting what we want and asserting ourselves, or Jupiter (faith or trust in our actions to bring us everything we need).
We feel powerless and impotent to the larger forces of this world, all far beyond our control. We must learn that the power is within. Neville Goddard calls it the power of Caesar. This must bow to the power of God which is the imagination of mankind. In the words of the late Wayne Dyer, “Change the way you look at things and the things you’re looking at will change.” The only reality is consciousness and how we perceive our lives, NOT what is happening in the so-called “real world.”
Mars retrograde in Aries means we have to reflect on how we assert ourselves and maintain self-sufficiency. Nobody is coming to save you. There is no hope. And in that depressing declaration lies the very hope you need. There is a strength within that can free you. So long as you are attached to the idea of a better tomorrow, the world giving you an identity and all the obstacles of life disappearing, you will suffer endlessly and continue running from yourself.
Venus in Virgo Opposite Neptune, in Angles to the Nodes: Healthy Pleasure and Destiny
This up-coming transit shows a critical point of discriminating between what we really love and what we know is an unhealthy attachment based on illusion (Neptune); this will determine how we engage in our collective destiny (a new way of gaining information and experience) and how we disengage from karma holding us back (old philosophies, prejudices and narratives about our life and the lives of others). This is an aspect of addiction and bad decisions, or a purification of choice-making. We clarify exactly how we make the choices that lead to fulfillment and open the gates of a positive destiny.
Feel better now. Take responsibility for your life. Are institutions corrupt? Yes. Is the modern capitalist system (post 1980s economic reforms of Milton Friedman & Art Laffer) of shareholder value and rampant corporatism oppressing the average American…? Also, yes. But all the evidence in the world is no excuse for turning your personal world into a hell, when it could well have been a heaven. Society is degenerating at a rapid rate. The US will balkanize and fall apart, complete dissolution and disarray. Soon, all that will be left are the bonds we have with one another, not our material possessions. Uncertain times like these mean that you must become certain of one thing: YOU!
Change your thoughts now. Focus on thankfulness, gratitude and investing in relationships with others (this helps to cure the energies of a bad Jupiter).
