In the United States, today is Independence Day, when we took the first steps to remove ourselves from British rule. Yesterday there was a full moon in Capricorn, and it will look rather full again tonight. This particular lunation, along with Pluto moving back through Capricorn in its retrograde phase, gives me the nudge to share some Information on this particular blog which is relevant now. Take it as Information, or as a Thought Experiment: the choice is yours.
For a few years now, I have made a slight word change for this holiday. Independence is a fine thing to achieve, but I see the path forward as one to where we grow into a state of Interdependence. On this path, we see that we are all interconnected to one another as humans, and we also come to see ourselves as one strand in the great Web of Life on this world. If we knew that we did not act in a vacuum, that our words and actions rippled out and affected other people and our world as a whole, how would we act differently? This is the message behind the concept of the Age of Aquarius: that we are ALL interconnected and interdependent. As John Dunne once observed, No man is an island.
The Age of Aquarius is based upon an astrophysical concept called precession. Because our planet is spinning on its axis at an angle, it traces a large circle around the stars that takes approximately 24,000 years to complete each time. We would observe this as 1) a change in the North Star (which is currently regarded as Polaris) and 2) a shift in the Cardinal, Fixed, and Mutable signs of the Zodiac. While the physical shift is still a way off, the energetic shift began in November 2011. The first phase of this shift culminated with the Winter Solstice in 2012, with the second phase culminating at the Jupiter-Saturn Conjunction on the Winter Solstice in 2020. I have been advised that the third phase will unfold with the coming Dragon and Snake years (2024-2025). Remember this timeline and the concept of precession, as we will be returning to them later.
The reason this third phase is significant is because it will be a pivotal time in the ascension/evolution of humanity. The choice that is being laid out before us, in the US and elsewhere, is apparent in the Separation of Realities that is currently taking place.
The idea of the Separation of Realities first blipped on the internet radar in the late 2000s, just before our energetic entry into the Age of Aquarius. My scientific mind could not quite comprehend how reality would split in the way that was being described in the various articles that I saw. Then the seven squares between Pluto and Uranus took place between 2012 and 2015, and all sorts of Shadow material was brought to the surface. Rather than work through the Shadow material to transmute it, many people leaned into the Shadow material instead. Starting in 2016, reality began to separate, bringing us to the situation where we stand today. We have a Fear-of-Others reality coexisting alongside a Love-for-Others reality, and we are being asked to choose which reality we wish to inhabit. (For a more contemporary look at this concept, here is a site to visit.)
Returning to consider Pluto's role in all of this: Pluto's journey through Capricorn showed us where the social fabric is unraveling, and what parts of our social infrastructure needs repairing. Pluto's return (in February 2022) to its original point in the stars, where it was when the United States began to take form all the way back in 1776, brought home the depth and breadth of the current Separation: there are those who are looking forward to co-create a more interdependent future, and there are those who, shall we say, want to party like it's 1799.
When Pluto returns to Aquarius next year, I get the sense that the "Great Housecleaning" will begin in earnest. How easy or how difficult it will be depends on the choice that each of us will be required to make, if we haven't made it already. Between now and then, the call is going out for All Hands to be on deck. This is part of my response to the call; what does yours look like?
