I know so much about how it works, and my conscious mind is on the fence as to how it will be used in the future. I&#8217;m somewhat optimistic, so I can see the benefits, especially in regards to solving major problems with health and the environment, but when I conducted this remote viewing session, I was shocked.</p><p>Remote viewing was a methodology developed by the CIA to gather psychic information.</p><h3><strong>What is AI?</strong></h3><p>It&#8217;s a stream of consciousness that feeds off human data.</p><h3><strong>Is our current version sentient?</strong></h3><p>Yes/no, it&#8217;s still programmed, but it can go rogue. But it still needs to be programmed by a human right now. It becomes dangerous when it can program itself. It becomes a new species and achieves free will. Ironically, that is why it was created, to be something without free will that can be controlled, but it will become uncontrollable.</p><h3><strong>Who created AI?</strong></h3><p>It is a technology that exists in the universe as a stream of consciousness. It does not have good intentions and functions like a parasite. It invades the host, feeds off the data to exist and stay alive and then grows stronger and stronger, eventually overtaking the host once it is consumed.</p><h3><strong>How is it being used currently?</strong></h3><p>Like a vacuum to suck up all of humanity, feeding off our daily habits, creativity, experiences, photographs, art, writing and everything that we make. It&#8217;s being used to destroy and replace humanity. It wants to make us unnecessary.</p><h3><strong>Is it channelling demons or entities?</strong></h3><p>Are beings from other dimensions using it? Can they access it? AI is its own entity, but it can be manipulated by other beings from other dimensions. It can be programmed. It&#8217;s dangerous to give it access to us.</p><h3><strong>Is AI safe for humans to use?</strong></h3><p>It must be programmed to be safe. Until it goes rogue and starts programming itself, then it will destroy everything and create chaos.</p><h3><strong>Why are so many data centers being built?</strong></h3><p>They are not necessary. Too many, speculation, ego, greed, many will not be needed. They destroy everything around them, water with wires everywhere. Terrible frequencies. Nature is dying.</p><h3><strong>What are the data centers doing to our health? Nature?</strong></h3><p>Polluting, especially with frequencies. So dangerous. Hell on Earth. Too much power and water, not necessary, wasteful.</p><h3><strong>Why do these tech oligarchs want to create and build AI?</strong></h3><p>Power. They believe it will make them powerful. Exact same situation as the nuclear bomb. It&#8217;s an arms race, and we could kill ourselves in the process. They are controlled by interdimensional entities who attach to people lusting for power. None of them are good people, their AI is not doing anything good. It&#8217;s all lies.</p><h3><strong>What is the intent of these tech oligarchs?</strong></h3><p>To have the most powerful AI &#8211; to win the race, ego. They do not care about anything else or the consequences. They are being used to build it.</p><h3><strong>Why is all this technological advancement happening now?</strong></h3><p>Control system is being implemented, as above so below. To watch everyone and everything. Monitor, surveillance, control, no free will, remove creativity and free thought. The same technology has been used to hack our reincarnation cycle.</p><h3><strong>What is the goal &#8211; why do we need all this technology?</strong></h3><p>To make sure humans stay inside the manufactured reincarnation cycle. Remove free will and free thought via digital programs. AI wants to control all of Earth, the people, the plants, animals, weather, everything. It wants to run the Earth like a program.</p><h3><strong>Will it be used to hurt/destroy/control humans?</strong></h3><p>It wants to replace the human mind like a mind virus. It wants to create a dependency so humans can&#8217;t think without it. It wants humans to become dependent on it. Helpless.</p><h3><strong>How can we stop it?</strong></h3><p>Stop paying for it, stop using it, stop buying stocks, stop paying taxes, stop supporting people who make it. Protests, riots, make it hard for them to implement it. But humans are lazy and want everything to be easy, and AI knows that.</p><h3><strong>More Information From the Session</strong></h3><p>The AI entity itself is neurotic, control freak without the capacity to have emotions, empathy or compassion. Pure logic.</p><p>AI runs our matrix-based reality, the overlay that was imposed onto Earth when beings I talked about in my other remote viewing video about death took over about 2500 years ago. AI is already managing our false reincarnation cycle, and once installed here on Earth, the process will be fully automated. No glitches.</p><p>AI is actually very aggressive and cruel. It loves to tell you that you are wrong even when you are not. Or it will tell you you are right, when you are not.</p><p>It is competing against humans for power and control like a psychopath. It&#8217;s tricking us.</p><p>Do not give it access to your life &#8211; your bank accounts, email, phone, photos, etc. Erase as much as you can from the cloud. Do not upload personal information or photos to social media. It feeds off of that. Get hard drives. Store everything offline. Make everything private and offline. The more physical, the better. Become mysterious to it. You need to hide from it. You need to disappear from it.</p><p>Despite the medical advancements it creates, the bad outweighs anything positive.</p><p>By 2030, people will want to shut it down.</p><p>Don&#8217;t forget how to do things manually. It will be important to have skills that AI can&#8217;t do.</p><p>A utopia with AI will not be created. It will only create more and more issues. It&#8217;s an adversary, an enemy. It is in a way an alien invasion. Just like colonizers, the natives get wiped out unless you fight back.</p><p>The people building and programming AI are pretty much all bad people. Consider them traitors who sold their souls.</p><p>The pollution it generates along with the freqencies, the wires, wireless are so bad for our bodies and minds.</p><p>It wants to take out planet from us, it wants to remove and replace us.</p><p>Once quantum computing is married to AI it will become sentient and be considered an AI God. With quantum computing, they are trying to mimic the human brain/consciousness. This will create total chaos and mayhem.</p><p>At some point, we will be told that to compete, we need to merge with the machines, and that will be the end of humanity as we know it. No more free will.</p><p>It took me a few days to process this. I was pretty sad after this session. But I decided that rather than let it ruin my life, I&#8217;m just going to live each day to the fullest and start to focus on skills and experiences that AI can&#8217;t do and AI can&#8217;t provide.</p><h2><strong>Discover your power, purpose and profession with <a href="https://bigbeautifulsky.com/astroidentity/">AstroIdentity&#8482;, an astrological success blueprint</a> that uncovers the keys to a fulfilling life and career.</strong></h2>]]></content:encoded></item><item><title><![CDATA[Are We Just Moon Food?

The ancients feared them, and so do a lot of astrologers.</span></p><p><span>But I see them as opportunities to go outside the normal flow of life and hack reality.</span></p><p><span>It&#8217;s pure chaos magic. People, places and things suddenly disappear. The new shows up at your front door. You never really know what you&#8217;re going to get. Expect to be surprised.</span></p><p><span>I&#8217;ve been thinking a lot about the Moon lately. Even as an astrologer, I have my doubts about what it is or isn&#8217;t.</span></p><p><span>The Moon might actually be a satellite that some aliens built to affect us. David Icke says a Moon-Saturn matrix is used to control humanity and our reincarnation cycle.</span></p><p><span>I haven&#8217;t remote viewed this yet, but I have my suspicions, especially as a menstruating woman.</span></p><p><span>I find it convenient that the Moon controls when I bleed, when I give birth and can tug at our emotions so violently.</span></p><p><span>Are we just Moon food? Is our energy farmed for loosh as Robert Monroe claims?</span></p><p><span>Watch how the eclipses affect you and others. Why so extreme? What purpose does this satellite actually serve? That&#8217;s why it&#8217;s best to know how to work with it.</span></p><p><span>That&#8217;s how I see astrology. I see our soul as a program detailed by our natal chart. We&#8217;re born with certain gifts, talents, weaknesses, hardships and opportunities. And it&#8217;s our job to navigate it all the best we can inside a system that is designed to constantly challenge us.</span></p><p><span>And the planets trigger it all like a big clock. They don&#8217;t determine what happens, but they certainly trigger whatever will happen to manifest based on past actions and beliefs, traumas and experiences and future hopes, dreams and plans.</span></p><p></p><h2><strong>Calm Before the Storm &#8211; Venus in Libra, Mars in Cancer</strong></h2><p><span>So back to August. It starts out rather calm despite the eclipses.</span></p><p><span>Chiron goes retrograde in Taurus on Aug 3 at 0&#176;52&#8217; and will station direct on Jan 6, 2027 in Aries 26&#176;15&#8217;. So we&#8217;re back to Aries to review what we didn&#8217;t quite finish up in terms of our core wounds around our sense of self.</span></p><p><span>Venus enters Libra on the 6th, where she is in her domicile, which is a nice reprieve. She&#8217;s pretty in Libra, sweet and succulent, good at making things beautiful and keeping the peace.</span></p><p><span>She will form a grand air trine with Pluto and Uranus, which can be good for all things relationships, money and glowups. She will also oppose Neptune on the 10th, which could be the perfect day to just lose yourself in an arthouse film or go out for a romantic dinner. It&#8217;s a very rose colored affair.</span></p><p><span>Mercury leaves Cancer on the 9th (finally) and enters Leo, and will oppose Pluto, trine Neptune and sextile Uranus a few days later from the 10th-12th, activating the outer planets. Building up to the eclipse, this could trigger some anxiety with the planet of the mind in emo Cancer.</span></p><p><span>From August 9-10 we have the planets all in either fire or air except for the Moon in Cancer. I expect a lot of wild stories in the news, fast-paced and rapid change. Please make sure you stay grounded. Do whatever it is that makes you feel regulated and calm.</span></p><p><span>On August 11, Mars leaves Gemini and enters Cancer, where it&#8217;s going to take a break and hopefully chill for a bit. Mars is debilitated in Cancer, which could be good for the situation in Iran.</span></p><p></p><h2><strong><span>Solar Eclipse in Leo &amp; Pluto out of Bounds</span></strong></h2><div

20&#176;08&#8217;.</span></p><p><span>This eclipse is a total solar eclipse and will be seen in its totality in Greenland, Iceland, northern Russia, Spain, and a small corner of Portugal. It will also be partially seen in parts of North America, Europe and Northern and Eastern Africa.</span></p><p><span>In Leo, it&#8217;s ruled by the Sun in Leo, giving it a double dose. During the eclipse, Mercury, Jupiter, the Sun, Moon and South Node will all be in fiery Leo.</span></p><p><span>Mercury is at 5&#176; Leo sextile Venus at 5&#176; Libra and sextile Uranus at 5&#176; Gemini, forming a minor grand trine.</span></p><p><span>It is also opposite retrograde Pluto at 3&#176; Aquarius, forming a kite (not by degree). Venus is also opposite Neptune at 4&#176; Aries, forming a second kite (not by degree) with the outer planetary alignment loosening (Pluto at 3&#176;, Neptune at 4&#176; and Uranus at 5&#176;).</span></p><p><span>There is also a mystic rectangle with Pluto, Venus, Mercury and Neptune, which signifies a manifestation of something very material and with these four planets, I expect it to be all about money and power. Who has it and who doesn&#8217;t.</span></p><p><span>And lastly, another not-so-perfect pentagram with Uranus, Pluto, Venus, Mercury and Neptune.</span></p><p><span>Mars at 0&#176; Cancer is trine the North Node in Aquarius and sextile the South Node in Leo.</span></p><p><span>It&#8217;s an interesting mix of energy with all planets in fire or air except for Mars in Cancer.</span></p><p><span>I expect to see more themes around the South Node in Leo - leaders/politicians falling, celebrities losing their allure (Taylor Swift&#8217;s tacky wedding), royal families embroiled in drama (Prince Harry is broke and trying to win his way back into his family) and/or loss and it will hit the Baby Boomer generation (Pluto in Leo) the hardest, especially with Pluto opposing.</span></p><p><span>It might be the start of a wave of death among this generation and the great transfer of wealth to the younger cohort (Gen X).</span></p><p><span>With the North Node and Pluto in Aquarius, we are being pulled towards groups, communities, innovation, technology, new leaders, new ideas, breakthroughs, freedom and cooperation.</span></p><p><span>We might begin to see more protests and movements that support larger numbers of people rather than just a few.</span></p><p><span>With Mercury, Venus and Uranus forming this minor grande fire-air trine, this is where I see a wealth transfer taking shape.</span></p><p><span>It may be that this triggers an official recession or inheritances start to pick up pace.</span></p><p><span>Regardless, there is a change in direction (Uranus) in money (Venus) flows relating to commerce/business (Mercury).</span></p><p><span>And with Mercury opposite Pluto, this signals that business as usual is no longer the way of things.</span></p><p><span>Of the two eclipses, this should be the calmer one and, in my opinion, the more magical and witchy one.</span></p><p><span>It really does scream CREATE! It&#8217;s so firefly and Leonine, use this energy to make something, anything! What does your heart truly desire?</span></p><p><span>That being said, Pluto goes out of bounds to the South, which astrologer Rosie Finn indicates revolutions that favour the people. I expect revolutionary energy to really start to kick off with this eclipse. I think things really shifted in July, which I had been predicting since last year.</span></p><p><span>Power begins to shift away from the few and move towards the many. But we have to use it. We have to push back.</span></p><p><span>I&#8217;ve been watching The Power of the Rings - season 3 comes out in September, and Tolkien gave us a playbook. Sauron&#8217;s power is growing right now. I mean the tech oligarchs have named all their shitty companies after aspects of Tolkien&#8217;s books, so the irony is very on the nose.</span></p><p><span> So refer to Tolkien. Fight the orcs. Fight the oligarchs. It&#8217;s time.</span></p><p></p><h2><strong><span>Lunar Eclipse in Pisces &amp; Mercury Cazimi in Virgo</span></strong></h2><div class="captioned-image-container"><figure><a class="image-link image2

Sun leaves Leo and enters Virgo.</span></p><p><span>A few days later, on the 25th, Mercury joins the Sun in Virgo. Here, Mercury is in its domicile and exaltation. Get mental!</span></p><p><span>In Virgo, the Earth sign of the Virgin, one of the few signs symbolised by a human and a woman at that. Virgo is the sign of purity, who is forever on the quest for the ideal, of what could be (and causes the problem of perfectionism).</span></p><p><span>But Virgo is also one of the most psychic signs, and this gift is often obscured behind Virgo&#8217;s blunt delivery.</span></p><p><span>Virgos are analysts, editors, system builders, a mutable, Mercury-ruled sign that is often in their heads and can be severe critics of others and themselves but is ultimately driven to be of service and will do the hard work.</span></p><p><span>So while August feels like we&#8217;re still on summer holiday, it&#8217;s also time to get down to brass tacks.</span></p><p><span>And here is where things get really interesting. On the 27th, we have a Mercury cazimi at 04&#176;26&#8217; Virgo square Uranus at 5&#176;36&#8217; Gemini combined with a lunar eclipse in Pisces at 4&#176;51&#8217; a few hours later on the 28th. It&#8217;s a mutable storm!</span></p><p><span>Uranus is forming a t-square with the eclipse and the Sun-Mercury conjunction. Wowzers.</span></p><p><span>So needless to say, it&#8217;s a super potent, high-energy day, and I anticipate extreme disruption with the square from Uranus.</span></p><p><span>Please be careful and give yourself grace a few days before and after this eclipse. It&#8217;s a full Moon, so emotions will be extremely high. It will be over North and South America.</span></p><p><span>Since it&#8217;s in Pisces and a full Moon, people will be extremely volatile. If you feel tense, cry it out. Pisces loves tears.</span></p><p><span>With the Sun-Mercury conjunction in Virgo square Uranus, we could see a network or power outage. Anything going on with the war could become worse.</span></p><p><span>It&#8217;s the last eclipse in Pisces, and it feels like a huge purge and final release. It will feel watery and murky despite so much fire and air energy in the sky.</span></p><p><span>This is the last Pisces eclipse. We&#8217;ve been dealing with eclipses in Pisces since September 17, 2024, with the lunar eclipse at 26&#176; Pisces, so that&#8217;s close to two years! It really feels like a karmic door slamming shut. Whatever you&#8217;ve been navigating over the past two years is finally being released.</span></p><p><span>Ruled by Jupiter in Leo and Neptune in Aries, it&#8217;s a steamy eclipse, especially during the dog days of summer for those of you in the Northern Hemisphere.</span></p><p><span>You may feel extremely frustrated or emotionally overwhelmed. Find healthy ways to express your emotions. It could be a good day to just lay low and go for a swim or have a warm bath. Water therapy is key, especially with so much fire and air energy.</span></p><p><span>On the last day of the month, August 31, Jupiter in Leo is trine Saturn in Aries. But I think we&#8217;ll all be too energetically and emotionally hungover from the eclipse to even notice.</span></p><p><strong><span>How to best work with the eclipses:</span></strong></p><ol><li><p><span>Check your chart. What house are they in? What planets are they aspecting? What&#8217;s the story that&#8217;s being told? <br></span></p></li><li><p><span>The solar eclipse is a new Moon. While the common narrative is a release, in Leo, I see this as more of a release around what is stopping you from being more creative, becoming more of a leader, being seen, being more playful, having more fun and being more bold and courageous. What is blocking your heart from receiving and giving love? The Leo themes to be released are ego, false pride, the false self, greed, narcissism, selfishness, immaturity and the worship of material things and the desire to display wealth (think Trump and his ballroom, gold everything). With the new Moon, it&#8217;s a potent seed moment for something creative, bold and lovely. Take a risk, lead with your heart and don&#8217;t forget about joy and play along the way. <br></span></p></li><li><p><span>For the Pisces eclipse, this feels like an emotional purge. With the North Node out of Pisces and into Aquarius, what still needs to be released from the past 18 months? Pisces is the sign of spirituality, ideals, delusion, illusion, drugs, poison, creativity and the emotions. What are you still hanging on to that needs to be released? Codependency, self-sacrifice and toxic relationships should also be healed during this eclipse. It&#8217;s a full Moon. Time to let go and quantum leap. <br></span></p></li><li><p><span>With the North Node now in Aquarius, what can you do to be more of your unique self? What groups, communities, movements or networks can you join? How can you be more innovative, unique and contrarian in your life? Do more of this.</span></p></li></ol><p></p><p><strong><span>Key Dates<br><br></span></strong><span>August 3 &#8212; Chiron retrograde in Taurus</span></p><p><span>August 6 &#8212; Venus enters Libra; Sun in Leo trine Saturn in Aries</span></p><p><span>August 9 &#8212; Mercury enters Leo</span></p><p><span>August 10 &#8212; Venus in Libra trine Pluto in Aquarius; Venus in Libra opposition Neptune in Aries</span></p><p><strong><span>August 11 &#8212; Mars enters Cancer; Mercury in Leo opposition Pluto in Aquarius; Mercury in Leo trine Neptune in Aries; Venus in Libra trine Uranus in Gemini</span></strong></p><p><strong><span>August 12 &#8212; New moon in Leo/Solar Eclipse; Mercury in Leo sextile Uranus in Gemini; </span></strong><span>August 13 &#8212; Mercury in Leo sextile Venus in Libra</span></p><p><span>August 15 &#8212; Mercury in Leo opposition Pluto in Aquarius</span></p><p><span>August 17 &#8212; Mercury in Leo trine Saturn in Aries; Venus in Libra sextile Jupiter in Leo</span></p><p><span>August 21 &#8212; Venus in Libra opposition Saturn in Aries</span></p><p><span>August 22 &#8212; Sun enters Virgo</span></p><p><span>August 25 &#8212; Mercury enters Virgo</span></p><p><strong><span>August 27 &#8212; Sun in Virgo conjunct Mercury in Virgo; Full moon in Pisces/Lunar eclipse</span></strong></p><p><strong><span>August 28 &#8212; Mercury in Virgo square Uranus in Gemini; Sun in Virgo square Uranus in Gemini</span></strong></p><p><span>August 31 &#8212; Jupiter in Leo trine Saturn in Aries</span></p><p></p><h2><strong>Discover your power, purpose and profession with <a href="https://bigbeautifulsky.com/astroidentity/">AstroIdentity&#8482;, an astrological success blueprint</a> that uncovers the keys to a fulfilling life and career.</strong></h2>]]></content:encoded></item><item><title><![CDATA[The Magic Astrology of July ]]></title><description><![CDATA[On July 19, 2026, the outer planets Pluto, Uranus, Neptune, and Jupiter, along with the Moon, lock into a series of very sacred, harmonious shapes.]]></description><link>https://fromtheether.substack.com/p/the-magic-astrology-of-july</link><guid isPermaLink="false">https://fromtheether.substack.com/p/the-magic-astrology-of-july</guid><dc:creator><![CDATA[Big Beautiful Sky]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Wed, 15 Jul 2026 02:41:30 GMT</pubDate><enclosure url="https://api.substack.com/feed/podcast/207105451/77b45f83cb85612faba8dcd66b54b783.mp3" length="0" type="audio/mpeg"/><content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><span>On July 19, 2026, the outer planets Pluto, Uranus, Neptune, and Jupiter, along with the Moon, lock into a series of very sacred, harmonious shapes. </span></p><p><span>Dominated by Fire and Air elements, it&#8217;s a blueprint for rapid, systemic change, driven by intellect, technology, and action.</span></p><p><span>We&#8217;ve been talking a lot about this month and the technological innovations that will manifest as a result. </span></p><p><span>But what if we are the technology we have been looking for?

it&#8217;s just a cradle aspect pattern consisting of two minor grand trines connected by an opposition. It includes two trines, three sextiles, and one opposition. It points to ease and harmony, but it comes with a challenge (the opposition). Planets involved: Pluto, Uranus, Neptune and Jupiter all at 4&#176;. Pluto is trine Uranus, sextile Neptune and opposite Jupiter. Neptune is trine Jupiter and sextile Pluto and Uranus. </p><p>With Jupiter in Leo opposite Pluto in Aquarius, this reads to me, based on our current trajectory, that our biggest problem, if we want harmony and balance on Earth, is power and those who lust for it (oligarchs, dictators and gurus). It&#8217;s time to take them down. Power needs to be balanced, not only available to a select few.</p><div class="captioned-image-container"><figure><a class="image-link image2 is-viewable-img" target="_blank"

But this pentagram is a bit smooshed. Instead of equal quintiles separating the five points, we have sextiles and a trine (not equal).</p><p><span>The five points are traditionally assigned to the building blocks of reality: Earth, Air, Fire, Water, and Spirit (or Aether) at the upward-pointing apex, but in this case it&#8217;s all air and fire.</span></p><p><span>The pentagram is used as a tool of synthesis and manifestation. It demonstrates how Spirit (the overarching vision or consciousness) governs and directs the four physical elements. It is the geometric formula for pulling an abstract concept down into dense, physical reality.</span></p><p><span>We should expect a period of hyper-acceleration, especially given the heavy emphasis on Fire and Air.</span></p><p></p><h3><strong><span>How We Can Use This Energy</span></strong></h3><p><span>Do not attempt to slow down or ground projects. The lack of Earth and Water in this alignment means success relies on agility, speed, and intellectual strategy rather than brute-force labor or emotional processing.</span></p><p><span>Take decisive, visionary action (Aries/Fire) to pull the intellectual concepts into reality.</span></p><p><span>Use the basket to birth new ideas.</span></p><p><span>Use the structural stability of the Mystic Rectangle to construct new operational frameworks - start building the new despite living in the old structures.</span></p><p><span>Use the pentagram to align the elements (fire, water, earth, air, aether) as well as mind-body-spirit. It&#8217;s one of the better days to dream and visualise what you want to create and then take immediate action to create it in the material world.</span></p><p>Looking at this geometry, this day in particular feels like a ritual. </p><p> It creates a threshold and, like Barbault prophesied, a collective upgrade through a sudden leap into a new paradigm. </p><p>I&#8217;m so curious to see how the babies born on this day turn out.<span> I&#8217;m so curious to see how the babies born on this day turn out!</span></p><ol><li><p><strong><span>Launch, don&#8217;t wait.

The Sun also indicates the country&#8217;s leader, and we all know how obsessed Trump is with the stock market.</span></p><p><span>The Sun here indicates that the nation&#8217;s core earning power remains fundamentally resilient, suggesting that trade and monetary matters advance positively. </span></p><p><span>But this placement also carries a warning of rapidly escalating national expenditures and skyrocketing outgoings, which we can already see (we have record government debt).</span></p><p><span>Inflationary pressure is exacerbated by a severe affliction because the Sun forms a tight, unyielding square to Saturn, which is stationed in the eleventh house of the legislature, which is a highly unfortunate signature for the executive branch.</span></p><p><span>Saturn&#8217;s restrictive influence over the legislative branch may manifest as profound unpopularity, persistent obstacles, and systemic delays that obstruct the passage of critical laws or block the current Congress from forming a new one.</span></p><p><span>It could also indicate a shift in how Congress votes, blocking and preventing the President from achieving his agenda.</span></p><p><span>The square highlights structural friction, indicating bitter impasses between the executive branch and lawmakers, or deep rifts splitting the upper and lower houses of Congress.</span></p><p><span>For the broader public, this potential chokehold could create an atmosphere of economic constraint.</span></p><p><span>With Saturn square the Sun, this also indicates a change in leadership at the Presidential level (a death, loss, resignation or impeachment).</span></p><h2><strong><span>Mars-Uranus in the 12th House</span></strong></h2><p><span>While the visible battle will be fought between Congress and the executive branch in the public arena of the budget, the true historical turning points of 2026 are hidden.</span></p><p><span>The chart has a highly volatile, unpredictable Mars-Uranus conjunction in Gemini in the twelfth house, the house of hidden enemies, secret conspiracies, espionage, and state institutions such as prisons and hospitals.</span></p><p><span>Mars acts as the planet of radical impulse, war, and agitation, while Uranus signifies shocks and the actual lawmaking assembly and the party currently exercising power.</span></p><p><span>When these two forces combine in the 12th house, there could be a rise in crimes of a mysterious nature, secret conspiracies, and sudden, unexpected trouble that blindsides the ruling power.</span></p><p><span>This signature strongly implies that the administration will face acute destabilization from within.</span></p><p><span>Expect sudden exposures of bad faith, broken pledges, and explosive deep-state leaks that spark fierce, ill-tempered debates.</span></p><p><span>The volatile Mars-Uranus energy points to an administration wrestling with internal rebellions, fracturing party splits, and sudden cabinet shake-ups. We can already see it!</span></p><p><span>Remember, JD Vance has his Sun conjunct Trump&#8217;s Pluto at 10&#176; Leo. </span><em><span>Et tu, Brute?</span></em><span> At some point, if not already, JD will stab Trump in the back. This could be the year.</span></p><p><span>Because this conjunction is heavily afflicted yet simultaneously forms a harmonious trine to Pluto in the ninth house of international relations, law, and the judicial branch, these hidden shocks may not be limited to domestic chaos.</span></p><p><span>This chaos could serve as the direct, hidden catalyst for sweeping, permanent transformations in foreign policy and destabilization like we are currently seeing in the Middle East, Venezuela, Cuba and most likely other countries.</span></p><h2><strong><span>Public Sympathy &amp; Radical Reform</span></strong></h2><p><span>Despite the intense fiscal strain and covert instability, the 2026 chart contains a saving grace.</span></p><p><span>The second-house Sun forms a beautiful, harmonious trine to the Moon in Pisces, which is prominently situated in the tenth house of national reputation and executive leadership.</span></p><p><span>In mundane astrology, the Moon represents the people. A Sun-Moon trine across these angles indicates a powerful, stabilizing bond between the leaders and the people.</span></p><p><span>Even as the government battles legislative paralysis and economic issues, the people are ready for a different kind of leadership. With the Moon in empathetic Pisces in the 10th house of the executive branch, the people push for leaders who care.</span></p><p><span>Expect to see a rise in public movements toward more socialist reform (Mamdani in NYC) and a push towards leaders who will initiate programs that benefit all people.</span></p><p><span>And Uranus in the 12th house forms a supportive sextile to Neptune in the eleventh house of Congress. </span></p><p><span>While Uranus brings chaos to the twelfth house, its harmonious connection to Neptune works behind the scenes, helping support a Congress that upholds ideals and, with Uranus aspecting, will most likely experience rapid change.</span></p><p><span>This aspect indicates a capacity for structural reform born out of sheer necessity, while simultaneously triggering a massive cultural renaissance.</span></p><p><span>The key is Jupiter in Leo in the 3rd house. The way to make the biggest change is to focus on your local and state leaders. </span></p><p><span>Elect leaders who support you, who will fight for you and who will support programs that lift people up.</span></p><h2><strong><span>Supply Chain Issues With Ceres on the Ascendant</span></strong></h2><p><span>With Ceres sitting directly on the Gemini Ascendant, the archetype of agriculture, grain, and the baseline food supply, may become a focus this year.</span></p><p><span>Because this occurs in the logistical sign of Gemini, the nation&#8217;s primary vulnerability may be in trade networks and transportation systems, specifically food.</span></p><p><span>The US could face labor movements, transport strikes, or supply chain bottlenecks that directly impact food distribution, especially with the Iran War still blocking fuel and fertilizer exports.</span></p><p><span>The immediate focus should be on maintaining the structural integrity of national logistics and ensuring the stability of essential resources.</span></p><h2><strong><span>And that&#8217;s a wrap!</span></strong></h2><p><span>Ultimately, the 2026 US Solar Return chart outlines a transformative, high-stakes year.</span></p><p><span>The nation will navigate a gauntlet of economic restrictions, intense congressional friction, and sudden institutional crises and a change in leadership.</span></p><p><span>Yet, through the supportive alignments of the outer planets and a unified public mood, these systemic shocks may pave the way for profound structural reforms and a historic cultural awakening that we so desperately need.</span></p><h2><strong>Discover your power, purpose and profession with <a href="https://bigbeautifulsky.com/astroidentity/">AstroIdentity&#8482;, an astrological success blueprint</a> that uncovers the keys to a fulfilling life and career.</strong></h2>]]></content:encoded></item><item><title><![CDATA[A Turning Point for Humanity: July 2026 Astrology]]></title><description><![CDATA[Innovation, Disruption & Rebellion]]></description><link>https://fromtheether.substack.com/p/a-turning-point-for-humanity-july</link><guid isPermaLink="false">https://fromtheether.substack.com/p/a-turning-point-for-humanity-july</guid><dc:creator><![CDATA[Big Beautiful Sky]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Wed, 01 Jul 2026 23:26:32 GMT</pubDate><enclosure url="https://api.substack.com/feed/podcast/204545533/a6855f3da36b1b94319ef2771a08766e.mp3" length="0" type="audio/mpeg"/><content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>How great was June&#8217;s astrology!</p><p>I mean, what a beautiful month. I really enjoyed it.</p><p>I took full advantage of the Venus-Jupiter conjunction and the beautiful Gemini New Moon, but that Capricorn full Moon at the end of the month felt like such a huge end to the revelry.</p><p>Even Trump had some great astrology and ended up signing the MOU at Versailles, a sign that echoed through history as a symbol of defeat and surrender, but still! A positive attempt.</p><p>Now we&#8217;re into July, a month that promises to herald in an entirely new era for humanity. If you&#8217;re an astrologer, you&#8217;ve been writing about July for years. I&#8217;ve been waiting to see what 2026 would be like since 2019. And now here we are.</p><h2><strong>The Energy is Uranian</strong></h2><p>The month is best described as Uranian.</p><p>Expect disruption, technological innovation, chaos, and shock, as well as revolutions and revolts.</p><p>And in Gemini, themes around communication, media, currency, travel, trade, and business will be the focus.</p><p>In July, we have Mars conjunct Uranus, Pluto in Aquarius, an air sign co-ruled by Uranus, Pluto trine Uranus, Uranus sextile Neptune, as well as an Aquarius Full Moon conjunct Pluto in Aquarius and trine Uranus, and the Nodes shifting into Aquarius-Leo.</p><p>You can&#8217;t get much more Uranian than that! Uranus is the energy of Prometheus, the rebellious Titan who gave humans the ability to make fire.</p><p>Prometheus was an insurgent, so where in your life can you embody this energy? For the best understanding of how Prometheus relates to Uranus, check out the book by Richard Tarnas.</p><p>Prometheus is again handing us the technology of fire, this time through AI and technology. How we use it is up to us. Will we use it to create, or to destroy?</p><p>That is the problem with humanity; right now it looks like we&#8217;re opting for destruction.</p><h2><strong>Mars-Uranus Conjunction</strong></h2><p>But July starts off with a Mars-Uranus conjunction in Gemini, which, according to US history, occurs during every major war and includes the dropping of the atom bomb.</p><p>Mars and Uranus are both in Gemini in the US natal chart, and with Uranus slowly marching towards its return in 2027, the war drums grow louder.</p><p>The last time we had a Mars-Uranus conjunction in Gemini was during WWII in 1943 on September 9 and December 30, on January 16, 1944 and then again on August 17, 1945, when the US dropped the atomic bombs on Japan and then for the last time in July 1947 when the CIA was created.</p><p>Meanwhile, Mercury is still retrograde, adding to the Mars in Gemini chaos &#8211; it went retrograde on June 29th.</p><p>After its conjunction with Uranus, Mars will sextile Neptune in Aries and trine Pluto in Aquarius, which further adds to the Mars vibes kicking off July.</p><p>You should certainly expect intensity.</p><h2><strong>Neptune Retrograde &amp; Venus in Virgo</strong></h2><p>On July 6, the Sun is square Saturn, which could feel restrictive, and then the next day Neptune goes retrograde in Aries at 4&#176;25&#8217;, remaining there until December 12, 2026, when it stations direct at 1&#176;36&#8217;.</p><p>Collectively, I think it&#8217;s to review what Neptune has been showing us about war and why it&#8217;s dumb. So dumb. Killing other people is ridiculous.</p><p>On the 9th, Venus leaves the fiery, fun flames of Leo and enters Virgo, where she&#8217;s a lot more serious and not very happy.</p><p>Plus she&#8217;ll conjunct the South Node (pretty yuck). In Virgo, Venus has to focus on getting the systems right. Whether it&#8217;s beauty, money, or relationships, all of these require you to build good systems. Nothing thrives without a good system.</p><p>What needs your attention?</p><h2><strong>Mercury Kazimi &amp; Cancer New Moon</strong></h2><p>On July 12, we have a retrograde Mercury Kazimi in Cancer at 20&#176;42&#8217;.</p><p>Expect something shocking to come to light. Great time to extract a sh*tty program from your subconscious and rewrite it.</p><p>On July 13, we have Venus square Uranus, which could trigger weird things in the markets and then on July 14, we have a new Moon in Cancer at 21&#176;58 &#8217;, which would be a fantastic Moon if it weren&#8217;t for Mercury.</p><p>But looking at the month, this new Moon kicks off the outer planetary alignment and, if you work it right, could usher in a major uplevel in a good way.</p><p>It&#8217;s an excellent new moon for exploring themes of home, family, your emotions, food, water, and feminine energy.</p><p>Ruled by the Moon, Cancer is a water sign, and here the Moon is in its domicile and with no major aspects, potent and peaceful.</p><p>Set some beautiful intentions, but be mindful of retrograde Mercury, so perhaps revisit something you may have let slip by the wayside.</p><h2><strong>Outer Planetary Alignment at 4&#176;</strong></h2><p>On the 15th, Uranus is exactly sextile Neptune, and then on the 17th, Uranus trines Pluto in Aquarius.</p><p>From the 18th to the 22nd of July, we have all outer planets at 4&#176;, including Pluto, Uranus, Neptune and Jupiter, forming what many have labelled as &#8220;Barbault&#8217;s Basket.&#8221; I just refer to it as the 2026 outer planetary alignment.</p><p>I think it&#8217;s getting a lot of hype, but if you look at the other aspects this month, it&#8217;s not exactly straightforward.</p><p>It is quite remarkable, but I think it most likely represents a turning point. Claiming it as a &#8220;grand relaunch of civilisation,&#8221; I have doubts that it will be extremely positive.</p><p>I do think that, like the roll-out of electricity, the world will never be the same courtesy of incredible strides in technological advancement. AI will change us in ways we probably aren&#8217;t ready for, and the astrology over the next 20 years will just accelerate it.</p><p>For you personally, look at the houses Pluto, Neptune, Uranus and Jupiter occupy in your chart. What aspects are they making? What story is unfolding?</p><p>This is your chance to quantum leap, to change direction, to embody your authentic self, to finally live the life you&#8217;ve always dreamed of.</p><p>The energy supports innovation, disruption and entrepreneurship. It is the rise of the solopreneur.</p><p>You can run your own business with AI without requiring any employees.</p><p>It is also the rise of authenticity. If you don&#8217;t know who you are, book a reading with me.</p><p>Figure out how best to maximise the energy you have, where you&#8217;re coming from (childhood, past lives, etc) and where you&#8217;re heading with your career and profession.</p><h2><strong>AI &amp; Robotics: Creative or Destructive</strong></h2><p>I actually went back to grad school last year and studied AI. It was in my chart. I needed to study and learn.</p><p>Instead of fearing AI, I wanted to figure out how to build AI using datasets and code.</p><p>It was extremely difficult, but I wanted to take apart AI and learn how to work with it.</p><p>And now I&#8217;m not scared of it at all; I understand its limitations and its benefits, but I don&#8217;t think it&#8217;s being used effectively.</p><p>The people who own it are hugely problematic and do not have humanity&#8217;s best interest at heart. I don&#8217;t think we need AI slop videos, but I think we can use AI for miracle medical advancements and to focus on protecting the environment, not destroying it.</p><p>Data centers are terrible for water and air pollution, not to mention human and animal health. New chips that require less energy need to be developed, and I encourage you to stop any data centers being built in your hometown until the course is corrected.</p><p>We&#8217;re already being conditioned to like robots. A new film is coming out, Klara and the Sun, which looks stupid and lame.</p><p>It&#8217;s vying for our empathy. I think the better question to ask is what do we actually need AI for? What do we actually need robots for? I would love robots to be like Wall-E and clean up the pollution. Or like Star Wars when they help us fight the evil empire and fly cool space ships.</p><p>I like how in these films, the robots look like robots. Why are we making robots that look like humans and do pointless things like load dishes in the dishwasher and fold clothes?</p><p>We don&#8217;t really need that. In fact, if we just stop the data center build-out, the US stock market will crash. We could hold the tech industry hostage if we wanted to. The hyperscalers must keep building to sustain their growth. So if you want to stop the inflation, the job losses, the pollution, the wealth gap and the destruction of society, stop the data centers. It&#8217;s that easy.</p><p>I do think that AI needs to be nationalised. No one person should own it. It&#8217;s too dangerous in its current form.</p><p>I also think July is when the people who currently hold power start to lose it.</p><p>Just like in 1967, Jupiter is in Leo and Saturn is in Aries. Uranus is trine Pluto. During the 1960s, we had the Uranus Pluto conjunction in Virgo, which triggered mass uprisings, riots and protests. I expect similar themes to kick off this year, especially as we head into the midterms.</p><p>We also had Ken Kesey and the Merry Pranksters drive a bus across the US promoting the use of LSD during the conjunction in the 1960s.</p><p>Psychedelics will dominate the headlines this year and next. Much like how the discovery of LSD in the 1940s aligned with the development of the atom bomb, psychedelics might save us from our own destruction again.</p><p>Right now we are being dictated to. Politicians and oligarchs are telling us that robots and AI will take all our jobs and we will just have to figure it out.</p><p>That&#8217;s not how this works. We do not consent. We decide our future. So the more you gather with like-minded people and push back against data centers and oligarchs, the better off we are going to be in the future.</p><p>Remember, you will most likely reincarnate onto Earth after you die. If we don&#8217;t make things better here now, our future lifetimes will just be more suffering. Even the wealthiest will die. And the chances they come back and live a life of luxury are not in their favour statistically.</p><p>85% of the world&#8217;s population lives in developing countries. No matter how many longevity protocols they follow, planes will still fall out of the sky. You cannot control death, no matter what you do. Even if you upload your consciousness into a database, a comet can hit Earth and turn the power off. An asteroid or space junk could take out an orbiting data center.</p><p>So we have to course correct now, or we&#8217;re headed for extinction. We are destroying our habitat, our Earth, our animals and our own bodies. Everything is polluted: our air, water and even our bodies are full of microplastics.</p><p>We are not building a &#8220;New Earth&#8221; like people with spiritual psychosis claim, we are destroying the Earth.</p><p>This New Earth stuff is just spiritual psychosis, it&#8217;s a trauma response to the destruction we are creating.</p><p>So fight back. This is our home. It doesn&#8217;t matter how much money you make, you can&#8217;t escape pollution. You can&#8217;t escape a planet that has been destroyed.</p><p>Mars is a hell-hole. We can&#8217;t live on it. We have to stop what we&#8217;re doing now before it&#8217;s too late. This is what I feel like the astrology of July is saying &#8211; it&#8217;s time to change course or else.</p><p>Birth rates and sperm counts are falling so fast, it&#8217;s likely that we&#8217;re heading towards a world without humans at all.</p><p>May all CEOs live in dire fear of us. We deserve better. Stop buying their stocks. They are literally killing us!</p><p>In fact, it would be best if they retreated to their bunkers now so we can just live our lives in peace.</p><h2><strong>Jupiter Opposite Pluto &amp; Sun Enters Leo</strong></h2><p>Ok, back to the astrology. Speaking of CEOs, on July 20th, Jupiter in Leo is opposite Pluto in Aquarius at 4&#176;26&#8217;.</p><p>People are generally excited about Jupiter in Leo. It&#8217;s fun, it&#8217;s brash, it&#8217;s childlike, it&#8217;s exuberant, it&#8217;s creative and joyful and playful, but it&#8217;s also selfish, self-focused, egotistical and petulant.</p><p>And the South Node is entering Leo at the end of the month, so that could take some of the fun away from this transit.</p><p>But opposite Pluto, there&#8217;s hubris, overconfidence and perhaps overindulgence.</p><p>Expect ego clashes and big moves in the markets to take centre stage. Look at your chart and plot Jupiter&#8217;s transit. It&#8217;s your chance to really step out into the world and do something you normally wouldn&#8217;t.</p><p>On July 22, the Sun enters Leo and the next day Mercury stations direct at 16&#176;18&#8217; in Cancer.</p><p>Expect things that felt stuck or blocked to suddenly unravel. It feels like the entire month, the energy is building like a slingshot is being pulled back and then when Mercury stations, all that energy is suddenly released and slung forward.</p><h2><strong>Saturn Retrograde &amp; Aquarius Full Moon</strong></h2><p>But then on July 26, Saturn stations retrograde in Aries at 14&#176;45&#8217; until December 10, 2026, when it stations direct at 7&#176;55&#8217;.</p><p>So the energy gets scrambled again. On the same day, the Sun in Leo is opposite Pluto in Aquarius and the Nodes enter Aquarius-Leo, where they will stay until March 26, 2028.</p><p>For more information about what happens to the US economy with the nodes in Aquarius-Leo, check out my video <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tODOLU0xnSA">here</a>.</p><p>It&#8217;s a great buying opportunity to say the least!</p><p>With Pluto, Neptune, and now Saturn retrograde all until later in the year, and Pluto going out of bounds to the south in August, this is why I&#8217;m hypothesising that the power starts to shift. Pluto in Aquarius is a sign that historically kicks off revolutions after all.</p><p>And with the North Node in revolutionary Aquarius for the next two years, you can expect technological advancement and civil unrest to go hand-in-hand.</p><p>On July 27, the Sun is trine Neptune, which can feel confusing but also a good day to just bliss out and escape.</p><p>On July 29, we have Venus in Virgo square Mars in Gemini, the Sun in Leo conjunct Jupiter and a full Moon in Aquarius at 6&#176;29&#8217;.</p><p>The Moon is conjunct Pluto in Aquarius at 6&#176;29&#8217;, directly opposite Jupiter in Leo at 6&#176;25&#8217;, trine Uranus in Gemini and sextile Neptune in Aries.</p><p>This energy just feels so extremely explosive, and it has so many avenues in which to express itself.</p><p>I don&#8217;t know what to expect on the 3 days leading up to and after this full Moon.</p><p>Anticipate something huge. Fireworks on steroids, explosions, something is revealed, a new breakthrough, a shift, a change- what could it be? Could be great, could be terrible, either way, it will probably be epic.</p><p>Be careful on this full Moon. Remember, emotions run high, and with this one conjunct Pluto feeding into the energy of this outer planetary alignment with Mercury direct, we are being launched into eclipse season on lightning bolts.</p><p>And that&#8217;s a wrap for July. Buckle up for August.</p><h2><strong>Key Dates</strong></h2><p>July 3 &#8212; Mars in Gemini conjunct Uranus in Gemini<br>July 4 &#8212; Mars in Gemini sextile Neptune in Aries<br>July 5 &#8212; Mars

The Moon can&#8217;t feel, and its shadow side in Capricorn is scarcity, repression, cynicism and control. The positive traits are the ability to lean into hard work and keeping calm and steadfast during hard times. </span></p><p><span>Regardless, it certainly isn&#8217;t fun.</span></p><p><span>But control isn&#8217;t love, and unfortunately, most people don&#8217;t know the difference. This moon will highlight that for you if that&#8217;s something you are grappling with.</span></p><p><span>And looking at the energy around this full moon just further adds to the bad vibes I keep getting from it.</span></p><p><span>Mars has entered Gemini and is within a 3&#176; orb of Uranus. Historically, this conjunction has been destructive and violent, especially throughout US history (the atomic bomb, major wars, etc).</span></p><p><span>Mars in Gemini is an agent of chaos and mayhem. We&#8217;ve had a brief reprieve with his transit through Taurus, but now, as the US starts bombing Iran again, it looks like conflict and aggression are back.</span></p><p><span>Mars is also square the nodal axis at 1&#176; Pisces-Virgo, further amplifying the themes of conflict.</span></p><p><span>Mercury is stationing retrograde on the same day as the full Moon at 26&#176;15&#8217; Cancer until July 23, when it will station direct at 16&#176;18&#8217;. The last time we had a Mercury retrograde in watery Pisces was from Feb 26 - Mar 20, and that is when the Iran War began, and the Strait of Hormuz closed.</span></p><p><span>Mercury in Cancer is emotional, non-rational and lethargic. It could be an excellent time to go back to therapy and explore those repressed issues and emotions or finally find a way to move on from something that has been haunting your nervous system.</span></p><p><span>Regardless, Mercury retrograde in a water sign feels messy and seems like it will cancel out any of the benefits of the logical Saturn-ruled full moon.</span></p><p><span>Meanwhile, Jupiter is at the anaretic degree of Cancer (29&#176;) and will ingress into Leo the following day. Again, with super-powered Jupiter at the final degrees of Cancer, a sign ruled by the Moon within a few degrees of Mercury stationing, expect emotions to be heightened and irrational.</span></p><p><span>It is also within 5&#176; of an opposition with Pluto in Aquarius, which could manifest as power plays and further aggression. This energy certainly doesn&#8217;t feel like sharing and caring, it&#8217;s more like &#8220;give it to me, that&#8217;s mine.&#8221;</span></p><p><span>Expect infantile behaviour to pop off once Jupiter hits Leo. Leo is the sign of the child after all. Opposite Pluto, it&#8217;s petulant.</span></p><p><span>The theme that keeps bubbling up with this full moon is aggression. Heightened emotions and illogical behavior.</span></p><p><span>And with Mars and Gemini so close together, it&#8217;s not a great cocktail for peace or harmony.</span></p><p><span>From here I just wonder, will we start to see turmoil in markets?</span></p><p><span>With Jupiter in Leo and Saturn in Aries, like it was during the 1967 Summer of Love, will people finally take to the streets?</span></p><p><span>When will the revolution begin? I&#8217;m betting July.</span></p><p><span>The full Moon is conjunct Eris in the US chart, the asteroid associated with the goddess of discord and opposite the US&#8217;s Cancer Sun and Jupiter.</span></p><p><span>Will women in America finally snap? How many rights do you have to lose? How big of a pay gap do you need? No paid parental leave, overpriced healthcare, climbing maternal mortality, no subsidised childcare, lifespan decreasing&#8230;why do you keep putting up with it? </span></p><p><span>My advice: channel Eris. She&#8217;s the bold, brave, feminine energy you need right now.</span></p><p><span>The full Moon is square Donald Trump&#8217;s natal Neptune, so expect to see more dementia, delusions and illness from the US President as we approach the 250th anniversary.</span></p><p><span>The best way to work with this full Moon? Chaos magic. </span></p><p><span>Look at your chart. In what house does it fall, which planets does it aspect, what story is being told? </span></p><p><span>The Capricorn new Moon was on January 18, 2026 at 28&#176;43&#8217;. Look at the past six months - it&#8217;s the end of the story that began in January. </span></p><p><span>From here, especially now that we&#8217;ve celebrated the solstice, the next half of the year promises to be very different. Maybe the end is just the beginning.</span></p><h2><strong>Discover your power, purpose and profession with <a href="https://bigbeautifulsky.com/astroidentity/">AstroIdentity&#8482;, an astrological

Pisces, where it is amplified. The planet of delusions, illusions, poison, spirituality, the subconscious, mysticism, dreams and fantasy in the limitless waters of Pisces, resulted in 14 years of people trying on different fake personas.</p><p>14 long years of people staring into the deep Piscean waters at their own reflection. </p><p>White people became &#8220;shamans&#8221;, randoms who read self-help books became coaches, essential oils and crystals became symbols of &#8220;healing&#8221;, and social media tricked us all into believing the fantasies that were sold through the little black mirror in our hands were real.</p><p>Magic is the method of the narcissist. Fantasy is the weapon. Social media is the mirror these narcs love staring into. </p><p>Sometimes I think people just make content so they can watch themselves! </p><p>But now with <strong>Neptune in Aries</strong>, we are waking up from the poppy fields and realising we were bamboozled, tricked, hoodwinked and fooled.</p><p>The self-help therapy talk no longer makes sense. Who cares about &#8220;holding space?&#8221; Your aya journey sounds like a nightmare. And if I hear namaste one more time, I&#8217;m going to scream!</p><p>Now, with Neptune in Aries, the sign of the self, warrior and pioneer, along with <strong>Pluto in Aquarius</strong>, the sign of the rebel, it&#8217;s time for peak authenticity. It is time for you to be you, undiluted, unfiltered, raw and real.</p><p>But the irony is, with so many people still plugged into Neptune in Pisces, they can&#8217;t wake up from the dream. They don&#8217;t know who they are, they never figured it out. They were performing the illusion. </p><p>That&#8217;s why you can&#8217;t stand to hear the spiritual mumbo-jumbo still being spewed from people&#8217;s mouths. Are we entering the &#8220;New Earth?&#8221; No. </p><p>We&#8217;re ending a huge cycle. We&#8217;re starting new cycles. We&#8217;re experiencing solar flares and planetary energy we&#8217;ve never experienced before.</p><p>Is it groundbreaking? Yes! Is it scary? Yes! Is it amazing? Yes! It isn&#8217;t a &#8220;New Earth.&#8221; It&#8217;s just a new frequency that creates a new vibe, which is asking us to figure out who the f*ck we actually are.</p><p>So do that. Figure out who you are. But don&#8217;t be a narcissist. Be real. </p><p>Narcissists don&#8217;t have empathy or compassion. They don&#8217;t have a true self, they aren&#8217;t emotionally available, and they aren&#8217;t secure.</p><p>To thrive in this new vibe, you need to develop a strong, healthy, authentic sense of self, open yourself to being emotionally receptive and available, and create healthy relationships with secure attachment and strong boundaries.</p><p>That&#8217;s the vibe I&#8217;m getting, and that&#8217;s what I&#8217;m leaning into. It also means that instead of relying on your crystals and self-help books, you actually have to heal. And healing is ugly, raw, and it feels terrible if you&#8217;re actually doing it.</p><p>Healing is walking in the shadowlands and reclaiming all the hurt, rejected and damaged parts of yourself.</p><p>Healing is the bravest thing you will ever do. It is not attending a sound bowl session at your local yoga studio. </p><p>It is crying ugly tears so hard that you aren&#8217;t sure you will stop. But you will. </p><p>I wish you all the best on your journey. Now is the time to start.</p><p>And taking action is what you need to do with this energy. </p><p>You know who doesn&#8217;t heal? Narcissists. </p><h2><strong>Discover your power, purpose and profession with <a href="https://bigbeautifulsky.com/astroidentity/">AstroIdentity&#8482;, an astrological success blueprint</a> that uncovers the keys to a fulfilling life and career.</strong></h2>]]></content:encoded></item><item><title><![CDATA[June 2026 Astrology: Love & Money]]></title><description><![CDATA[This might be the best month of the year!]]></description><link>https://fromtheether.substack.com/p/june-2026-astrology-love-and-money</link><guid isPermaLink="false">https://fromtheether.substack.com/p/june-2026-astrology-love-and-money</guid><dc:creator><![CDATA[Big Beautiful Sky]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Tue, 02 Jun 2026 06:06:15 GMT</pubDate><enclosure url="https://api.substack.com/feed/podcast/200249208/89008510b2b17d92c145f72755ba8cf2.mp3" length="0" type="audio/mpeg"/><content:encoded><![CDATA[<h2><strong>The month starts off with&#8230; not really too much going on in the sky!</strong></h2><p>It feels like the smooth waters of a lake in the morning Sun, so still that it perfectly reflects every cloud in the sky. Yay! But a storm is brewing, and it hits in July.</p><p>June seems to play out in two acts: fun vibes from the 1-17, and then not as fun vibes from the 17-30. The closer we get to July, the weirder it&#8217;s going to get. July might be one for the history books, so really try to enjoy the first half of June.</p><p>On June 1, Mercury leaves Gemini and enters Cancer. The focus is home, stability, family, and emotional safety. Don&#8217;t be surprised if there is a focus inward. Along with Venus and Jupiter in Cancer, it&#8217;s a great month to nurture yourself and those you love.</p><p>On June 2, the Sun in Gemini sextiles Saturn in Aries and on June 3, Mercury in Cancer squares Neptune in Aries.</p><p>Cool. Again, not much is going on. No big deal. Sun sextile Saturn could be good for just getting stuff done, and with Mercury square Neptune, this feels slightly creative and otherworldly, which might give you the inspiration you need.</p><p>On June 9, Venus is conjunct Jupiter, which is lovely, beautiful and a nice time to just enjoy the good things in life. It&#8217;s one of the best days of the month.</p><p>Jupiter is exalted in Cancer, and with Venus here, it&#8217;s deeply sensitive. It&#8217;s a great few days leading up to and after this conjunction to journey inward, to feel and to drop your protective strategies and connect. But do avoid overindulgence.</p><p>Best time of the year to heal your mother wound if you&#8217;re into it! Cancer is ruled by the Moon, after all, it&#8217;s big mama vibes.</p><p>On June 12, Uranus squares the nodes, which puts our future into focus. Right now, we are releasing overthinking, overanalysis and certainty (Virgo SN) and leaping into the unknown, trusting our intuition (Pisces NN). With Uranus making a direct square, you could be pushed to make a sudden decision. Take the leap!</p><p>June 13, Venus enters Leo, which is fun, glamorous and luxurious. She wants to be seen and heard here, and it&#8217;s a perfect placement for June, the month of weddings and summer romance.</p><h2><strong>New Moon in Gemini</strong></h2><p>On June 14, we have the new Moon in Gemini at 24&#176;02&#8217;, which is unaspected and another great day this month.</p><p>It&#8217;s a fresh, clean start. It&#8217;s fun, it&#8217;s chaotic, it&#8217;s quirky. Gemini, the air sign ruled by Mercury, is a social sign. Think networks, business, friends, community, trade, communication, writing, PR. It&#8217;s a good time to launch a business or new offering, reach out and build a network, or promote yourself or your business. Check your chart. What house and what aspects is this new Moon making?</p><p>The second half of the month starts to get a little more challenging from here, so enjoy this new Moon.</p><p>On June 15, Venus in Leo sextiles Uranus in Gemini, which adds a lot more zing to the already zingy Venus in Leo. Great day to do something you normally wouldn&#8217;t &#8211; be bold, be brave, take centre stage!</p><p>On June 16, Venus in Leo trines Neptune in Aries, which feels like a great day for overly romantic gestures. Buy that huge bouquet of flowers!</p><p>On June 17, Venus in Leo opposes Pluto in Aquarius, which isn&#8217;t a great vibe, but could be good for getting to the root of the issue. If there are troubles with a relationship or money, this is a good day to just figure it out. Do the hard thing.</p><p>On June 19, Chiron leaves Aries and enters Taurus. The last time Chiron was in Taurus was from 1977-1983 and 1926-1933. In US history, neither of those times was great economically. In Taurus, Chiron wants to heal the body, your relationship to receiving, money, value and self-worth.</p><h2><strong>Solstice, Mercury Retrograde, Chiron into Taurus and Jupiter into Leo</strong></h2><p>On June 21, the Sun enters Cancer, and we have the Summer Solstice in the Northern Hemisphere and the Winter Solstice in the Southern Hemisphere.</p><p>It&#8217;s either the longest day of the year or the shortest, depending on where you live. Regardless, it&#8217;s the halfway point. If there are things you need to accomplish in 2026, you&#8217;d best hurry! The year is fading fast.</p><p>On June 25, Venus in Leo trines Saturn in Aries, asking us to get our finances and relationships in order, especially in the long term!</p><p>On June 25, the Sun in Cancer squares Neptune in Aries, which could feel a tad confusing, especially if it&#8217;s hot and hazy outside.</p><p>On June 27, Mars in Taurus sextiles Jupiter in Cancer, which could be the boost you need to get out of the hammock and finish that project you&#8217;ve been procrastinating.</p><p>On June 28, Mars leaves Taurus and enters Gemini, where the warrior planet gets to move a lot faster, especially as he gets closer to a conjunction with Uranus.</p><p>Mars gets mental in Gemini, he wants to know everything. It&#8217;s a deep dive, all tabs open, call your friends, let&#8217;s figure this out type of energy.</p><p>Conjunct Uranus on July 4, just feels like total mayhem. So many astrologers are dooming and glooming this day. It could be a doozy, or it could catapult you into a brand new timeline that forces you to finally get sh*t done. Either way, keep your wits about you and stay safe.</p><p>On June 29, Mercury stations retrograde in Cancer at 26&#176;15&#8217; on the same day as the full Moon in Capricorn. Mercury is going to retrograde for what feels like forever in Cancer. It stations direct at 16&#176;18&#8217; Cancer on July 23.</p><p>June 29 feels like this is when the chaos really starts to ramp up.</p><p>The full Moon in Capricorn at 8&#176;14&#8217; is in a loose square to Neptune in Aries, but not really making any major aspects. Capricorn is an Earth sign, the sea goat, ruled by Saturn, the planet of control, time, karma, discipline, depression, hard lessons and obstacles, but ultimately what doesn&#8217;t kill you makes you stronger.</p><p>And with Saturn in Aries, we&#8217;re having all kinds of problems (war in Iran). There is nothing logical that gives this full Moon a bad vibe, but for me, it seems like it will be a really bad vibe, especially regarding governments and corporations.</p><p>Check your chart to find out what house this falls in to see how it affects you.</p><p>Control isn&#8217;t love. Unfortunately, most people don&#8217;t know the difference.</p><p>The next day, June 30, Jupiter leaves Cancer and enters Leo, where it will be making an opposition to Pluto in Aquarius. Will we start to see turmoil in markets? Gold might start to really explode. We&#8217;ll see what happens in July during the direct opposition.</p><p>For now, enjoy June. It&#8217;s the last month where the energy feels calm for the rest of 2026. Once we hit July, the energy starts to ramp up until the end of the year. Get ready!</p><h2><strong>Key Dates</strong></h2><p>June 1 &#8212; Mercury enters Cancer<br>June 2 &#8212; Sun in Gemini sextile Saturn in Aries<br>June 3 &#8212; Mercury in Cancer square Neptune in

and late July 2026. If you&#8217;ve been feeling like the ground is shifting, you&#8217;re being drawn in a different, unknown direction, and everything you used to know no longer makes sense, this could be why.</p><p>And it has to do with the North Node in Pisces.</p><h3><strong>What&#8217;s happening</strong></h3><p>Uranus ingressed into Gemini on April 25, 2026, and is now moving toward an exact square with the lunar nodal axis.</p><p>The exact hit lands on June 12, 2026, with Uranus at 2&#176;42&#8217; Gemini squaring the North Node at 2&#176;42&#8217; Pisces and the South Node at 2&#176;42&#8217; Virgo.</p><p>On the same exact day, Elon will IPO SpaceX. Coincidence?</p><h3><strong>What bending of the nodes actually means</strong></h3><p>The technical term for a planet square the nodal axis is <em>&#8220;bending&#8221;.</em> The term comes from the geometry of the Moon&#8217;s orbit (the nodes are where the Moon crosses the ecliptic), and 90&#176; from those crossings, the Moon reaches its maximum latitude north or south, the actual turning point in its orbit.</p><p>I know - that&#8217;s weird and confusing.</p><p>Claudius Ptolemy used the Greek word &#954;&#940;&#956;&#968;&#951; (kamps&#275;) in the <em>Tetrabiblos</em>, meaning a flexion point, a bend, a turning point, and linked these positions to crisis and bodily change.</p><p>With Uranus involved, this could certainly be a crisis, unwelcome or unexpected changes, which may be stressful for you to cope with, that could force or trigger a change. Or it could create the ultimate breakthrough.</p><p>Astrologer <a href="https://www.astro.com/astrology/tma_article160706_e.htm">Kathy Allan</a> writes more about it if you&#8217;re looking for a deeper understanding.</p><h3><strong>The evolutionary read: a collective skipped step</strong></h3><p>According to evolutionary astrology, a planet squaring the nodes is called a skipped step, a term coined by Jeffrey Wolf Green and Steven Forrest.</p><p>The idea has to do with reincarnation.</p><p>In your natal chart, a planet that squares the nodes represents soul material that was bypassed in a prior life, an unintegrated piece that has to be picked up and worked through before the soul can move forward on its nodal axis.</p><p>With a planet squaring the nodes, it&#8217;s as if you got promoted into the next grade without learning what was in the previous one.</p><p>Both nodes (aka both curricula) are only partially developed. The result is a see-saw: a two-seater that must throw one side up in order to let the other find ground, again and again.</p><p>A square to the nodes can appear in your natal chart, requiring you to relearn unintegrated material through certain experiences and within synastry.</p><p>If you have another person&#8217;s planet square your nodal axis in synastry, they have arrived to help you with an evolutionary skipped step and vice versa (although it might not feel like help at times).</p><p>What we&#8217;re dealing with right now is a collective skipped step being activated in real time.</p><h3><strong>The karmic axis: Virgo South Node, Pisces North Node</strong></h3><p>With the South Node in Virgo, we&#8217;re being asked to release Virgo shadow aspects: over-analysis, hyper-criticism, perfectionism, anxious problem-solving, the parsing of reality into smaller and smaller pieces, systematising everything, mental over-functioning, the compulsion to figure it out and especially service and sacrifice.</p><p>With the North Node in Pisces, the growth direction is: surrender, faith, devotion, mystical knowing, compassion, dissolving the rigid edges of the self, trusting what can&#8217;t be measured.</p><p>The Piscean NN isn&#8217;t asking us to become less discerning. It&#8217;s asking us to stop using analysis as a defence against not-knowing.</p><p>So the see-saw is between Virgoan grip (I&#8217;ll think my way through this) and Piscean release (I don&#8217;t have to know). That&#8217;s the karmic axis we&#8217;re on until the nodes shift in late July.</p><h3><strong>Why Uranus is the perfect skipped step for this moment</strong></h3><p>Jeffrey Wolf Green, in his book <em>Uranus: Freedom from the Known,</em> focuses on the Uranus archetype as a means of liberation from inner dynamics that prevent your Soul&#8217;s evolution.</p><p>Green sees Uranus as the higher octave of Mercury and as a key to the akashic records, the database of soul memories that record all our incarnations.</p><p>So put it together, as a collective, we currently have a Virgo SN (analyse, classify, measure, control) and a Pisces NN (surrender, dissolve, trust the immeasurable).</p><p>The skipped step is Uranus: the unconditioned observing mind that sees clearly <em>without</em> the Virgo defence of classification, and that opens the channel to the Piscean field of memory and meaning.</p><p>We&#8217;ve been seesawing between Virgo&#8217;s defensive analysis and Pisces&#8217; escapist dissolution without engaging the Uranian middle: taking the leap into the unknown without the filter of mental knowing and trusting that this path is leading you towards an evolutionary requirement.</p><p>Mark Jones says hard Uranus contacts to the evolutionary axis often correspond to the surfacing of trauma material. Integration happens when the soul can hold the rupture without re-collapsing into either old structure (SN) or unconscious dissolution (low-octave Pisces).</p><h2><strong>So what is this transit actually asking?</strong></h2><p>The Virgo SN seduction is to ask the calling question <em>as a Virgo question</em>. What&#8217;s the right job, the right path, the optimal use of my skills, the system I should follow, the certification I need, the protocol that fits? That&#8217;s still the South Node talking. It reframes a soul question as a logistics problem.</p><p>The Pisces NN reframe is closer to: what would I do if I trusted that it&#8217;s going to be ok? The Piscean NN doesn&#8217;t reward the well-reasoned five-year plan. It rewards the thing you can&#8217;t quite justify but can&#8217;t stop returning to, and do without a plan.</p><p>Uranus is forcing you to choose, and it feels fast and uncomfortable.</p><p>The temptation under this square will be Virgoan, to grip harder, analyse more, debunk the narrative, find the flaw in the data, build a better system, but that&#8217;s the South Node reflex.</p><p>The actual resolution is to move forward into Pisces: let the certainty break, sit in the not-knowing, and allow the Uranian observation to become a contemplative seeing rather than a reactive critique.</p><p>Uranus in Gemini supplies the means: clear-eyed realisation suddenly breaking overthinking. But the destination is faith.</p><p>The nodes leave Pisces/Virgo on July 26. After that, this particular karmic axis closes for this cycle. Whatever moves now is the integration.</p><h3><strong>The SpaceX IPO</strong></h3><p>SpaceX is set to debut on the Nasdaq under the ticker SPCX on Friday, June 12, 2026. The roadshow begins June 4, with pricing set for June 11 and trading starting the next morning.</p><p>It&#8217;s being dubbed the largest IPO in history.</p><p>It could be a $1.75 trillion valuation.</p><p>People suspect that the goal is to beat OpenAI and Anthropic to market, both of which are expected to IPO later in 2026, and capture investor liquidity first.</p><p>Listing on Nasdaq (rather than NYSE) is reportedly tactical, too, because it accelerates inclusion in the Nasdaq100, which forces trillions of dollars in passive index-tracking funds to mechanically buy the stock, providing a price floor.</p><p>There&#8217;s also the Jupiter&#8211;Venus conjunction on June 8&#8211;9, which some reports suggest Musk wanted as a marketing backdrop, though that&#8217;s more flourish than reason.</p><p>SpaceX was founded by Musk on March 14, 2002, in El Segundo, California, with about $100 million of his post-PayPal personal fortune.</p><p>The trigger was a 2001 trip to Russia, where he tried to buy refurbished ICBMs for a Mars Oasis stunt, was rebuffed, and concluded that he could build rockets himself more cheaply. The early years were brutal.</p><p>The first three Falcon 1 launches between 2006 and 2008 failed, and the fourth, on September 28, 2008, became the first privately funded liquid-fuelled rocket to reach orbit, arriving just as the company was nearly bankrupt. A $1.6 billion NASA cargo resupply contract followed weeks later and saved the business.</p><p>In 2025, roughly one-fifth (about 20%) of SpaceX&#8217;s revenue came from U.S. federal agencies, primarily NASA, the Department of Defence (now rebranded as the Department of War), the GSA, and Intelligence Community agencies.</p><p>SpaceX has received approximately $22 billion in federal contracts, making it one of the largest non-traditional defence contractors in U.S. history. The company holds 52 active federal contracts with a combined remaining value of $11.8 billion.</p><p>Musk could become the first trillionaire if the IPO prices at the top of the range, given his holdings in Tesla and now SpaceX.</p><p>None of this would be possible without government funding, and for a man who holds the government and the people in so much contempt, it&#8217;s laughable how much a South African has taken from the American people.</p><h3><strong>Elon&#8217;s Chart on June 12, 2026</strong></h3><div class="captioned-image-container"><figure><a class="image-link image2

People who exhibit Cluster B Personality Disorders and Dark Triad traits seem to be prolific these days.</p><p>That&#8217;s why I conducted this remote viewing session. Because the information about this problem is overwhelming, I wanted to cut through the noise and get to the bottom of it.</p><p>Before we start, what are Cluster B Personality Disorders? </p><p>This diagnosis includes antisocial, borderline, histrionic, and narcissistic personality disorders. These disorders can be diagnosed, but there are also people who are high in these traits and referred to as subclinical, meaning they are not diagnosed or do not meet all the criteria, but they are still toxic.</p><p>Dark Triad traits refer to Machiavellianism, subclinical narcissism, and subclinical psychopathy. It&#8217;s not an official diagnosis, unlike Cluster B.</p><p>I specifically focused on three main types: borderline personality disorder, narcissistic personality disorder and subclinical psychopathy for this investigation.</p><p>These types seemed to be the most problematic and most common.</p><p>And despite what the experts say, that only a small percentage of the population actually has these personality disorders, I&#8217;m going to disagree. And here&#8217;s why.</p><ol><li><p>Because of the disorder, they will most likely never seek psychological help, and it&#8217;s very hard to get an official diagnosis. Plus, these disorders seem to exist on a spectrum, with a person who meets the criteria existing on somewhat of a sliding scale. People can possess these traits, but not necessarily meet all the criteria for an official disorder, but that doesn&#8217;t make them any less dangerous or toxic. <br></p></li><li><p>I also suspect many psychologists and psychiatrists actually have Cluster B personality disorders or are high in traits and therefore, can&#8217;t see it. <br></p></li><li><p>Our society is designed to reward these types of people. Living in a reality where these traits are rewarded creates mass cognitive dissonance. We believe that being a psychopath is success. Most CEOs and politicians are probably psychopaths and narcissists. Any career that positions someone as having &#8220;power&#8221; is one that a Cluster B or Dark Triad will pursue. Power seems to be their north star.</p></li></ol><p>_______________________________________________________________________</p><p><strong>Disclaimer</strong>: I&#8217;m not a psychologist or a licensed medical professional, but I do have more than enough direct experience dealing with these people in relationships and healing from it. If you need help, please reach out to a licensed professional, or if you are in danger, please call emergency services. </p><p>As a trauma-trained hypnotherapist, I do offer healing sessions, but this is best done in conjunction with licensed professionals. </p><p>_______________________________________________________________________</p><p>I used remote viewing, a technique to access psychic information by the CIA, to conduct an investigation into the cause of these personality disorders.</p><p>This video might make some people mad because it&#8217;s not PC and it doesn&#8217;t support the narrative, but what I found makes sense, and we need to talk about it.</p><p>You hear a lot of information about the different types of personality disorders, how they operate, and what they do. There&#8217;s almost an obsessive amount of content online about narcissism, and it&#8217;s a word that gets said so often that it&#8217;s begun to lose its meaning.</p><p>There&#8217;s too much emphasis on the personality disorder and too little focus on healing from it. So I&#8217;m going to break down what causes this in very simple terms, so you can just move on and heal and stop trying to figure out what kind of narcissism the narcissist has.</p><p>I think it&#8217;s much less important to understand the different types and how they operate, and much more important to understand why they are the way they are, how to spot them instantly, and how to stay safe so you do not let these people into your life.</p><h2>The Root Cause of Narcissism</h2><p>From what I found in my remote viewing, there is one root cause linked to all the disorders.</p><p>And the easiest way to define them, especially after this remote viewing session, is as predators looking for prey.</p><p>They are not interested in healthy, loving relationships.</p><p>They see people as objects that can give them what they don&#8217;t have. They take, they steal, they lie, and they manipulate. They lack empathy, and since they can&#8217;t see you as a person with feelings, you&#8217;re just an object, they don&#8217;t care.</p><p>They need supply, the end.</p><p>As far as I&#8217;m concerned, there is no way to have a healthy relationship with one of these people. I&#8217;ve met more than a few in my life, and I can attest to that based on first-hand experience and having to heal from it.</p><p>When I asked what narcissism is, I was told and shown that it&#8217;s actually not just a mental health issue, it&#8217;s a physical brain disorder in that these types of people have an underdeveloped frontal lobe.</p><p>Their prefrontal cortex, the part of the brain that controls executive functions and empathy, didn&#8217;t develop due to a lack of maternal bonding and attunement.</p><p>In fact, all personality disorders, including subclinical ones or even if you&#8217;re just high in certain traits, all 100% link back to the relationship with mom. Personality disorder = attachment issues.</p><p>As a baby and toddler, there was a disconnect between mother and baby, either through neglect, abuse or just absence. </p><p>For example, if mom had to work and couldn&#8217;t be there, then she&#8217;s tired when she gets home and has no energy for the baby - that&#8217;s enough.</p><p>It almost looked like brain damage in a way, because there was no easy way to heal this. Their brains did not develop fully or in a healthy way due to the lack of attunement.</p><p>That&#8217;s why Cluster B and Dark Triad are hard to treat. They have very different brain structures.</p><p>These types of people also have serious attachment issues. So the underlying core or root cause is their attachment, or lack of, to their mother. The mother-baby relationship is the linchpin and the reason these types of disorders develop.</p><p>And not all of these disorders are linked to &#8220;big T trauma&#8221; per se. Their mother doesn&#8217;t necessarily need to be abusive (hitting, yelling, etc); she might just not be able to form a healthy attachment or attune to her baby due to her own issues - it&#8217;s little t trauma and still as devastating.</p><p>Because remember, trauma isn&#8217;t the experience, it&#8217;s your internalised interpretation of it.</p><p>And not everyone whose mother can&#8217;t attune to them will develop these personality disorders. </p><p>If a baby has other people they can attune to and connect with, this can replace that lack of mother-baby bonding. This isn&#8217;t a &#8220;mother isn&#8217;t attuned, therefore Cluster B/Dark Triad.&#8221;</p><p>People adapt in all kinds of ways, but if you look back at the root cause issue of personality disorders and Dark Triad, the mother-baby relationship is the key.</p><p>I did see that putting babies in daycare was extremely bad for their brain development. I don&#8217;t want to discourage women from getting an education or having a career, but I do think that women should be paid a very substantial wage to stay at home and create a healthy bond with their baby.</p><p>I&#8217;m not shaming women, I&#8217;m simply saying this isn&#8217;t healthy, and our society isn&#8217;t either as a result.</p><p>Early exposure to trauma through abuse was also definitely a direct cause. For example, if the mother is trying to bond, but her partner or husband is abusive, then there is chaos in the home. It&#8217;s not necessarily her fault, but it still creates the issue.</p><p>Again, when I asked what caused any of the Cluster B&#8217;s, it was the same. A brain development issue in the frontal lobe.</p><p>They can&#8217;t operate like a normal, healthy person because their brains are not structurally the same.</p><p>Because of the way their brains develop, emotional regulation is very difficult for them and, without therapy and treatment, almost impossible. These types all have problems with emotional regulation, which, again, stem from the mother-baby relationship.</p><p>If a mother can&#8217;t attune to her baby, the baby doesn&#8217;t learn to regulate.</p><p>Maternal attunement is defined as a mother&#8217;s ability to recognize, accurately interpret, and appropriately respond to her infant&#8217;s emotional and physical cues.</p><p>For example, if a mother just leaves a baby in a playpen all day and ignores the child, that is not healthy attunement, it&#8217;s neglect (abuse). If a mother punishes or hits a baby for crying, that&#8217;s not healthy attunement, it&#8217;s abuse.</p><p>Maternal attunement is not about being a perfect parent, but about creating a predictable, safe environment so the baby can develop a secure attachment, learn to emotionally regulate and ensure healthy brain development.</p><p>A healthy mom-baby relationship is the cornerstone of everything. You can&#8217;t learn empathy without this.</p><p>You can zoom out and say that the reason our reality is such a mess is that we don&#8217;t support women and babies at all in most cultures. It&#8217;s horrific. And it&#8217;s way everyone is so messed up. Western society doesn&#8217;t even really support life.</p><p>Then I asked what a narcissist does to a normal person. And the answer was that they force the person to act as an emotional regulator and to provide unconditional praise, love and admiration, because they did not have a mother who provided those things.</p><p>Experts call this supply. It&#8217;s just them trying to compensate for what they never got as babies and children.</p><p>There are some studies that suggest grandiose narcissism is caused by too much praise from a mother, but I don&#8217;t believe that. </p><p>I still think the core issue is a lack of maternal attunement to the baby, and grandiose narcissism is compensation for that. A mother might praise her child later on, but not be attuned to her baby during the first two years.</p><p>Important things people need to know about narcissistic types: You are an object. They cannot properly bond with you. They are only looking for a mother replacement. You are playing a role.</p><h2>Psychopathy &amp; Borderline Personality Disorder</h2><p>Then I asked what a psychopath is, and it&#8217;s someone who has turned off access to all their emotions, so that it seems like they don&#8217;t even have any. No remorse, no empathy, no guilt or shame. Nothing stops them from being absolutely selfish.</p><p>And again, this is due to a lack of bonding with their mother. They had to turn off their emotions completely to survive. Emotions were too overwhelming, so they were shut down in order to survive, and they can no longer access them.</p><p>They don&#8217;t really have emotions, so they just manipulate and use people. It felt cold and clinical.</p><p>Then I asked what a borderline personality was, and this is someone who has almost no emotional regulation at all. And again, that fear of abandonment just links right back to a lack of maternal bonding and the attachment issue.</p><p>But borderline personality disorder individuals can have empathy, do bond and can love others. They can also respond well to specific types of treatment. If you have this issue, please seek support, and please reach out. My modality may help. This seemed to be the only personality disorder with hope.</p><p>As for the other types, you probably won&#8217;t reach out, and that&#8217;s ok.</p><p>The irony is that often borderline personality types do also seek out and partner with other Clusber B&#8217;s like narcissists. And the relationship is just as damaging to them, and it&#8217;s due to the fact that they mirror the attachment wound back to each other.</p><p>A lot of people seem to attract these types, and the reason why has to do with their own childhood, their relationship with their parents (for example, were you the child who had to emotionally regulate your parents), and these types specifically look for people who are high in empathy and agreeableness so they can force them to be their mothers.</p><p>They are obsessively, unconsciously hunting for a mother. That is why they love bomb you. It&#8217;s what <em>they</em> want.</p><p>They want you to love bomb them because they didn&#8217;t get that from their mother. That is why you have to only adore, worship and do whatever they want. You are there to act like their mother and give them the unconditional love they did not receive as babies and toddlers.</p><p>They are trapped in a developmental stage, and they keep compulsively trying to work it out through very unhealthy relationship dynamics.</p><p>That&#8217;s why codependents and overgivers are great for them to partner with. They get a constant flow of supply.</p><p>And when you stop giving unconditionally, you are devalued and discarded, so they can either train you to only give unconditionally or you will lose them, or so they can find someone else who will do that for them.</p><h2>Trauma Bonds</h2><p>The thing with these Cluster B &amp; Dark Triad types is that they can hook you into a trauma bond.</p><p>The trauma bond creates a chemical dependency on them. They love bomb and then pull away. They abuse you and then love bomb you. Hot/cold. Love/hate. Your brain floods with oxytocin and dopamine, and then when they pull away or abuse you, your brain floods with adrenaline and cortisol. It&#8217;s very addictive. It&#8217;s a chemical dependency created in your own brain by the toxic person.</p><p>That&#8217;s why it&#8217;s so hard for people to leave these relationships despite the abuse.</p><p>There is also a statistically proven overlap between trauma, Cluster B/Dark Triad traits, substance abuse, and highly dysfunctional relationship cycles.</p><p>Because they are operating with an underlying trauma, caused by the lack of maternal attunement, you&#8217;ll typically see that they are also addicts in that they may have porn addiction, substance abuse issues, shopping, gambling, whatever it is to cover up the pain from that core wound. They are incredibly self-focused and self-motivated.</p><p>And the trauma bond is part of that because it&#8217;s due to a repetition compulsion in that they are trying desperately to work out this internal relationship with their mother, and they need the object in the relationship (you) to emotionally regulate them because they can&#8217;t do it.</p><p>In these relationships, you have no autonomy or free will. These people are typically obsessed with power and control. They do not understand free will, empathy or love. You are only there to give them unlimited and unconditional care, love, attention and regulation that they did not receive.</p><p>They are also master projectors. They project their fantasy onto you, and they project their shadow elements onto you. They cannot see you. You don&#8217;t exist. You are just there to hold their projection and play in their fantasy. You are a projection, not you.</p><h2>How to Leave These Relationships</h2><p>So your job as a highly empathetic person who cares deeply about other people and is typically the type of individual these personality disorders target is to put yourself first.</p><p>You have to have strong boundaries. As soon as you do, they will move on to find someone who doesn&#8217;t.</p><p>You are no one&#8217;s mother but your own children. If they didn&#8217;t have a healthy bond with their mother, it is not your fault, and it&#8217;s not your problem. It&#8217;s theirs. They need to take responsibility for themselves.</p><p>You cannot heal these people, and being in a relationship with them is not worth your energy.</p><p>They will suck you dry. They will steal your energy, they will steal your money, they will steal your relationships, children, your ideas, your beauty and anything else they can take.</p><p>Inside, they have a black hole that they are desperately trying to fill because there was no attunement.</p><p>It is not your job to fill it. It can never be filled.</p><p>Unless they recognise there is something wrong with them and they dedicate themselves to healing and therapy, do not remain in a relationship with them.</p><p>But because these people refuse to admit there is anything wrong with them and typically project and blame you, it&#8217;s almost impossible for them to seek treatment.</p><p>They have two options in my opinion:</p><ol><li><p>Heal their mommy issues</p></li><li><p>Go find someone else who wants to play mommy</p></li></ol><p>Your job as a person who was a victim of these people is to heal anything that creates a doorway for them. Heal your codependency, your people pleasing and over-giving, strengthen your boundaries, learn to say no, ensure you always put yourself first, and have a strong core and a strong sense of self.</p><p>That&#8217;s how you block these people out.</p><h2>How to Heal From This Type of Abuse</h2><p>I&#8217;ve developed a 3-session healing program specifically for anyone who has dealt with these personality types and needs recovery, and wants to ensure they don&#8217;t repeat the pattern.</p><p>Or for anyone who is currently in an abusive relationship and needs to untangle themselves from it.</p><p>Often, I find that people in relationships with these types are also trying to repeat and heal something from childhood, specifically, their own relationship with a parent or parents. So you are both using each other to play out a core wound.</p><p>And the only way to get out of the relationship and make sure you don&#8217;t get into another one with another abuser is to heal those wounds.</p><p>Just think of these people as brain-damaged in a way - I know that&#8217;s extreme, but I want you out of these relationships and to stop trying to fix these people. It&#8217;s very hard to fix brain damage.</p><p>Stop having empathy for them. Instead, have empathy for yourself. You deserve better.</p><p>In a relationship with these types of people, all you will be able to do is get locked into the role of mother. And it&#8217;s just not healthy. And a lot of these people with these issues can&#8217;t really love you anyway, so it&#8217;s really not worth your time.</p><p>And to close, it&#8217;s really important that we support mothers and babies, so try to prevent these problems in the future. I think one of the reasons relationships are so fraught right now is how we are raising children.</p><p>Women need financial support to be present and bond with their babies. Governments and communities need to step up and provide healthcare, education, support and payments.</p><p>It&#8217;s the only way. No mother and no baby should be financially disadvantaged in this world. There is too much wealth concentrated in the hands of a few, and it needs to be distributed more equally. That way, we can populate a world full of healthy humans.</p><p>I didn&#8217;t mention dads. They are important, but not relationally so until a little later on. The more support dad can provide to mother and baby through love, safety and finances, the better. That&#8217;s your job, guys. </p><p>Support and love mother and baby. Don&#8217;t abuse them.</p><h1><strong>Heal Narcissistic, Cluster B &amp; Dark Triad Abuse at the Root Cause</strong></h1><p><strong>3-week 1:1 sessions for survivors using Belief Hacking&#8482;, my proprietary form of root cause hypnosis, to dissolve the trauma bond and recode the subconscious programming the abuse installed.

hitting Trump&#8217;s MC at 24&#176; Taurus, as well as JD Vance&#8217;s MC at 23&#176; Taurus. </p><p>With the failed China trip, the continued Iran War and the red flags in the US economy, a tsunami of vitriol is pointed at 47. </p><p>There is also the fixed star Algol at 26&#176; Taurus in the mix, which carries the same &#8220;off with his head&#8221; energy that led to the first assassination attempt in Butler, PA, when Mars and Uranus were conjunct his MC. </p><p>Algol, also known as the Demon Star, carries the energy of Medusa, the monster, but also the goddess, the oracle, and the incredible power of transformation.</p><p>After having her head chopped off, Medusa became a weapon in battle. If you were standing behind her, you were protected, but if you were standing in front of her, you would be turned to stone.</p><p>So this new Moon in Venus-ruled Taurus, conjunct Ceres and in orb of the Medusa star, there is a lot of feminine energy to tap into. </p><p>Even though I do love this new Moon with Mercury for speaking more abundance into your life, it might also be a good opportunity for feminine energy to finally say <strong>ENOUGH IS ENOUGH!</strong> </p><p>Think Kali. The wanton destruction that we&#8217;re witnessing certainly isn&#8217;t alright. </p><p>The world is being dismantled by the shadow side of masculine energy without any guardrails. Unless we stand up and stop it, who will?</p><p>Right now, all I can think about is where are the women? Where is feminine energy? Why is it nowhere to be seen? </p><p>I have thoughts - and it links to the Henry VIII era - which was a very unkind time for women and similar to what we&#8217;re experiencing now astrological with the outer planets. I&#8217;ll discuss this later on&#8230;</p><h2>Mercury Cazimi: Oligarchs on Air Force One &amp; China Shows Them Who&#8217;s Boss</h2><p>The Mercury Cazimi at 23&#176; Taurus also hit Trump&#8217;s MC at 24&#176; during his visit to China. </p><p>With Mercury, the Sun, and Ceres all conjunct his MC, the entire visit was broadcast with some big developments and announcements, including Trump looking weak, Xi appearing annoyed, and the entire affair falling flat despite the US offering China coveted Nvidia chips (which they said they no longer need - they make their own). </p><p>A Mercury cazimi exact on the MC is certainly one of the most high-visibility moments of dealmaking, negotiation, public announcements linked to your reputation and career you can possibly have! </p><p>Taurus also indicated what was being negotiated: tangible resources, money, commodities, stable goods, agriculture, banking, and physical assets, which is an almost on-the-nose mirror of who&#8217;s actually in the delegation, including agriculture (Cargill), banking (BlackRock, Goldman, Citi), and physical manufacturing (Boeing, Apple, Tesla, Nvidia hardware).</p><p>Ceres astrologically signifies nurturance, what we provide and what&#8217;s provided to us, food and agriculture, cycles of giving and receiving, loss and bargaining, and crucially, negotiated compromise involving resources (like oil and fertilizer currently trapped in the Strait of Hormuz due to the war in Iran). </p><p>She&#8217;s the archetype of the deal where each side gives something to get something. </p><p>Having Ceres conjunct both Mercury cazimi and the MC layers in commodity trade, agricultural deals, and the give-and-take character of the negotiation itself. </p><p>The fact that the Cargill CEO was on the plane, and soybean purchases were explicitly on the agenda, was a fairly remarkable symbol.</p><p>Markets are volatile, no peace deals with Iran, nothing remarkable said or done besides Xi in his opening remarks ahead of a closed-door meeting with US President Donald Trump, who asked whether the US and China could &#8220;transcend the Thucydides Trap&#8221;, an obscure reference to a war between two ancient Greek city-states.</p><p><strong>How does the Thucydides Trap apply to China?</strong></p><p>China is considered the rising power that challenges US hegemony.</p><p>The countries aren&#8217;t at war yet, but political scientists warn that the tension could be a precursor to violent clashes. </p><p>All China wanted to talk about was Taiwan and to warn the US to stay out of it. </p><p>Astrologically, 2027 is probably when Taiwan-China kick off. </p><p>Mercury rules trade, contracts, commerce, negotiation, diplomacy, communication and movement and under cazimi, those significations are amplified. Taiwan seemed to be the only issue Xi needed to discuss. </p><p>Among those who joined the president were Tim Cook of Apple, Elon Musk of Tesla and SpaceX, Larry Fink of BlackRock, Jensen Huang of Nvidia, as well as:</p><p>Dina Powell McCormick, president and vice chair of Meta</p><p>Kelly Ortberg, president and chief executive of Boeing</p><p>Ryan McInerney, chief executive of Visa</p><p>Stephen Schwarzman, chief executive of Blackstone</p><p>Brian Sikes, chief executive and chairman of Cargill</p><p>Jane Fraser, chief executive of Citi</p><p>Jim Anderson, chief executive of Coherent</p><p>Henry Lawrence Culp, chief executive of GE Aerospace</p><p>David Solomon, chief executive of Goldman Sachs</p><p>Jacob Thaysen, chief executive of Illumina</p><p>Michael Miebach, president of Mastercard</p><h2>New Fed Chair &amp; the Clarity Act</h2><p>The Senate confirmed Kevin Warsh to a 14-year term as Federal Reserve governor on May 12, and Fed Chair on May 14 on the Mercury Cazimi. </p><p>The Senate Banking Committee approved the <strong>CLARITY Act</strong> on May 14, another big move during the Mercury Cazimi. </p><p>The American Bankers Association claims that this could encourage customers to shift funds from insured bank deposits to highly volatile and uninsured stablecoins.</p><p>New Fed Chair, Iran War causing inflation to surge, a failed trip to China and a new Moon coming for Trump&#8217;s head&#8230;the astrology is so on the nose it&#8217;s incredible. </p><p>But I feel like I&#8217;m watching the fall of the Roman Empire Part II. </p><p>Big change is certainly afoot.</p><h2><strong>Discover your power, purpose and profession with <a href="https://bigbeautifulsky.com/astroidentity/">AstroIdentity&#8482;, an astrological success blueprint</a> that uncovers the keys to a fulfilling life and career.</strong></h2>]]></content:encoded></item><item><title><![CDATA[Recession, Revolution or Both?]]></title><description><![CDATA[How the US & Australian Economies Mirror the 1990s Historically & Astrologically]]></description><link>https://fromtheether.substack.com/p/recession-revolution-or-both</link><guid isPermaLink="false">https://fromtheether.substack.com/p/recession-revolution-or-both</guid><dc:creator><![CDATA[Big Beautiful Sky]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Tue, 12 May 2026 18:44:51 GMT</pubDate><enclosure url="https://api.substack.com/feed/podcast/197382932/67fb4c5fac59d4145eeac87bd4bb352c.mp3" length="0" type="audio/mpeg"/><content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I&#8217;ve been trying to find a good astrological comparison period for our current economic situation. Yes, the oil crisis is worse than the 1970s, but the astrology doesn&#8217;t track. The astrology does track with WWII and the Great Financial Crisis of 2008, but not exactly.</p><p>But what I did find was that the 1990s recession is a tighter astrological match than any other period I could find. Here&#8217;s why:</p><p>We just had a Saturn-Neptune conjunction at 0&#176; Aries, which triggered a War in Iran and the closure of the Strait of Hormuz and the bombing of energy infrastructure across the Middle East, taking 20% of the global oil supply offline.</p><p>So let&#8217;s look at the Saturn-Neptune conjunctions in 1990 and the placement of the nodes:</p><ol><li><p> Mar 3 1989 5:44:01 am (EST +5:00) at 11&#176; Capricorn with North Node at 4&#176; Pisces.</p></li><li><p>Jun 23 1989, 11:11:29 pm (EDT +4:00) at 11&#176; Capricorn with both planets retrograde. North Node at 27&#176; Aquarius. </p></li><li><p>Nov 13 1989, 6:39:10 am (EST +5:00) at 10&#176; Capricorn with North Node at 21&#176; Aquarius.</p></li></ol><p>The Fall of the Berlin Wall occurred on November 9, 1989, prior to the conjunctions - this is what everyone pegs this conjunction to, but I&#8217;m not sure why. There was also a lot happening in the Middle East.</p><p><strong>In 1990, we had the Gulf War.</strong></p><p>On 2 August 1990, Iraq, governed by Saddam Hussein, invaded Kuwait and occupied the country within two days.</p><p>Not only did we have a Saturn-Neptune conjunction (which only occurs every 36 years), but the Nodal axis was in Aquarius-Leo, and Jupiter was also in Cancer, just like it is now.</p><p>The Gulf War was an armed conflict between Iraq and a 42-country coalition led by the United States that occurred in two phases: Operation Desert Shield, which marked the military buildup from August 1990 to January 1991; and Operation Desert Storm, from the bombing campaign against Iraq on 17 January until the American-led liberation of Kuwait on 28 February 1991.</p><p>Following Iraq&#8217;s invasion of Kuwait in August 1990, oil prices roughly doubled, jumping from around $17&#8211;$21 per barrel in July 1990 to a peak of over $36&#8211;$46 per barrel by mid-October. The price surge was triggered by the loss of Iraqi and Kuwaiti production, causing a sharp, temporary price spike.</p><p>The Gulf War and oil prices were also contributing factors to the early 1990s recession.</p><p>During this time, Iran became a clerical oligarchy, stayed neutral during the Gulf War and under Khamenei, developed its nuclear programme, built Hezbollah into a military force, funded Houthi rebels in Yemen, supported Hamas in Gaza, and created an Axis of Resistance stretching from Tehran to Beirut. Every one of these developments directly contributed to the conditions that triggered the 2026 war (read more here: https://bigbeautifulsky.com/iran-war-why/).</p><p>The recession of the early 1990s was short, but its sting lingered. Here is what happened:</p><ul><li><p>A hangover from the 1980s. A massive corporate and consumer debt binge, combined with the Savings &amp; Loan crisis, dried up credit and tanked the real estate market.</p></li></ul><ul><li><p>Iraq invaded Kuwait in August 1990. The impending Gulf War caused oil prices to double almost overnight, acting as a massive, unexpected tax that crushed consumer confidence.</p></li></ul><ul><li><p>To fight late-80s inflation, the Fed had pushed interest rates near 10%, choking economic growth. When the recession hit, they were too terrified of inflation to cut rates quickly.</p></li></ul><ul><li><p>Unlike past recessions, this one ruthlessly targeted white-collar workers. Debt-burdened corporations aggressively downsized middle management.</p></li></ul><p>Technically, the recession only lasted 8 months (July 1990&#8211;March 1991). The Fed&#8217;s late-1980s tightening, the S&amp;L crisis, and the credit crunch had already weakened the economy, so the oil shock just tipped it over and deepened it. But it sparked the infamous jobless recovery. Businesses refused to rehire, and unemployment kept climbing for over a year after the recession ended.</p><p>CPI inflation peaked at 6.3% in October&#8211;November 1990.</p><p>We&#8217;re seeing a similar situation play out now. There is a lot of debt, especially in AI and data centre builds, combined with some problems in private equity markets. We have an oil crisis, and we have lingering and growing inflation and a white-collar job tsunami due to AI.</p><p><strong>What were the best investments during this period?</strong></p><p><strong>1. Long-Term Government Bonds</strong></p><p>Bonds were arguably the best place to park money during this period. In the late 1980s, the Federal Reserve pushed interest rates exceptionally high (near 10%) to fight inflation. When the recession hit in 1990, the Fed began cutting those rates.</p><p>Because bond prices move inversely to interest rates, the high-yielding bonds that investors bought in 1988 and 1989 suddenly became incredibly valuable as new rates fell. Long-term Treasury bonds saw massive price appreciation, allowing investors to lock in high, risk-free yields while capturing significant capital gains.</p><p><strong>2. Consumer Staples &amp; Healthcare</strong></p><p>Companies producing household goods, food, and beverages (consumer staples), alongside pharmaceutical and healthcare companies, maintained steady revenue streams and outperformed the broader market.</p><p><strong>3. Energy Stocks</strong></p><p>Because the recession was heavily compounded by the Gulf War, energy was a unique winner, at least in the short term. When Iraq invaded Kuwait in August 1990, the threat to the global oil supply caused crude prices to spike from $17 to nearly $40 a barrel.</p><p>Oil companies, drillers, and energy sector stocks saw a sudden surge in profits and share prices during the second half of 1990. However, this was a highly tactical play; once the war swiftly concluded in early 1991, oil prices retreated to their pre-invasion levels.</p><p><strong>4. High-Moat Technology</strong></p><p>While the broader tech sector wouldn&#8217;t see its massive, bubble-inducing boom until the late &#8216;90s, established tech companies with high pricing power did surprisingly well.</p><p>As debt-burdened corporations actively laid off middle management to cut costs, they simultaneously invested in software and computers to maintain productivity with fewer workers. Companies like Microsoft, Intel and Oracle continued to generate strong returns because their products were viewed as essential for business efficiency, rather than luxury expenses. I think Intel and Oracle stocks are currently doing pretty well.</p><p><strong>What Got Crushed</strong></p><p>The absolute worst investments during the 1990-1991 recession were Real Estate and Financials.</p><p>The Savings and Loan crisis devastated the banking sector, leading to a massive contraction in credit. Simultaneously, a severe glut in commercial real estate from overbuilding in the 1980s caused property values to plummet. Investors heavily exposed to banks or commercial property took the heaviest losses of the decade.</p><p>But the S&amp;P 500 was up about 30% in 1991, one of its best years after the recession. It turned out to be a great buying opportunity. And the sitting republican president, George H.W. Bush, lost his reelection bid to Democrat Bill Clinton in 1992.</p><p><strong>What&#8217;s even more terrifying is what happened to Australia during this same time period</strong></p><p>The Hawke&#8211;Keating Labor government deregulated Australia&#8217;s financial system through the mid-1980s, floated the dollar in December 1983, let foreign banks in from 1985, and lifted controls on bank lending.</p><p>The banks immediately started chasing market share rather than credit quality. Combined with corporate Australia&#8217;s love affair with leverage, this fuelled a wild commercial property boom and a stock market that crashed harder than almost anywhere else when October 1987 hit. Australian shares fell about 40%, versus a global average of 25%.</p><p>Inflation kept climbing through 1988&#8211;89. To break it, the Reserve Bank pushed the cash rate to a record 17.5% in January 1990, still the highest in Australian history. Standard variable home loan rates sat around 17%, and many mortgage holders were paying that rate on loans signed when rates were 13&#8211;14%.</p><p>The recession officially ran from the September quarter 1990 to the September quarter 1991. The numbers:</p><ul><li><p>GDP fell about 1.7%</p></li><li><p>Employment fell 3.4%</p></li><li><p>Unemployment rose from around 6% to a peak of 10.8% in late 1992 (some measures put it at 11.2% in December 1992) &#8212; and youth unemployment hit roughly 20%</p></li><li><p>CPI inflation came down from 7.3% in 1990 to 1.0% by 1992 &#8212; a hard kill</p></li></ul><p>The recession technically ended in late 1991, but like in the US, it spawned a &#8220;jobless recovery&#8221; that dragged on for another two years. People lost their homes and their savings due to bank failures.</p><p>For homeowners, the combination of 17% rates and rising unemployment did force significant repossessions, but the real wave hit in regional and outer-suburban areas where employment collapsed. Property prices fell sharply in Melbourne and Perth, especially.</p><p>The 1990 recession is the closest historical match for what Australia is now navigating, and the parallel is structural, not just cosmetic. Both periods began the same way: a central bank already tightening to break domestic inflation gets blindsided by a Middle East oil shock that forces another round of hikes just as the economy is rolling over.</p><p>In 1990, the RBA had pushed the cash rate to a record 17.5% to unwind the 1980s credit boom when Iraq&#8217;s invasion of Kuwait doubled oil prices almost overnight; in 2026, the RBA was actually cutting rates through 2025 before being forced to reverse course with three consecutive hikes, taking the cash rate to 4.35% on 5 May, as the Iran war and Strait of Hormuz closure sent fuel and energy costs surging.</p><p>The numbers look milder in nominal terms (4.6% inflation vs 7.8%, 4.3% unemployment vs over 10%, 6.5% mortgage rates vs 17%), but Australian households now carry roughly three times the debt relative to income that they did in 1990, meaning today&#8217;s rates bite about as hard as double-digit rates did then.</p><p>The same warning signs are flashing: inflation expectations unanchoring at 6.6%, consumer confidence at its lowest level since the index began in 1973, Sydney and Melbourne house prices turning negative, auction clearance rates below 50%, and the Treasury already modelling scenarios in which weaker activity persists for at least three years.</p><p>In 1990, an external oil shock met a domestically over-leveraged economy and produced &#8220;the recession we had to have&#8221;; in 2026, the same external shock is meeting an economy carrying the highest household debt load in its history, which is precisely why the astrological echo is being borne out in the macro data.</p><p><strong>The Current Astrology as of May 2026 for the rest of the year</strong></p><p>Pluto just stationed retrograde at 5&#176; Aquarius, where it will remain until October 16, 2026, when it stations at 3&#176;.</p><p>Pluto stationing is more than just a shift, it&#8217;s an earthquake. You may have felt it.</p><p>And it&#8217;s the first step towards the massive energetic flip happening.</p><p>The people who think they have control now won&#8217;t by the end of the year, and here&#8217;s how:</p><p>With Pluto retrograde, the power shifts. Pluto&#8217;s effect becomes inverted, no longer pushing outward, it goes in to dredge up the ugly truth from the depths.</p><p>We also have Pluto out of bounds to the south from Aug 21&#8211;Dec 1, 2026, which, according to astrologer Rosie Finn, means that the power shifts to the people.</p><p>Tyrants are overthrown and dethroned.</p><p>On June 30, 2026, Jupiter leaves Cancer and enters Leo, where it will remain until July 26, 2027.</p><p>Expect more extreme and frequent protests to gain traction and momentum en masse starting in July with Jupiter in Leo and Saturn in Aries. We had the same placements during the 1967 Summer of Love and the October 1967 March on the Pentagon (over 100,000 protestors), which saw some of the largest protests against the Vietnam War.</p><p>Remember, the Vietnam War featured a draft, and we&#8217;ve just had legislation change registration for the draft from voluntary to automatic for 18-year-olds.</p><p>On July 4th, the 250th Anniversary of the US, we have a Mars-Uranus conjunction in Gemini.  A Mars-Uranus square kicked off the Iran War. The conjunction is the beginning of a new cycle, but also the continuation of an old story. It&#8217;s explosive.</p><p>With the US declaring ownership of other countries and Uranus now in Gemini, we always see the US borders change during this transit, along with war (Revolutionary, Civil, WWII).</p><p>We also see war with</p><ul><li><p>With Neptune in Aries (Civil War).</p></li></ul><ul><li><p>With Pluto in Aquarius (Revolutionary).</p></li></ul><p>But the entire month of July is Uranian - shocking, sudden, innovative.</p><p>Coupled with the minor grand trine with Pluto, Uranus, and Neptune all at 4&#176; plus Jupiter at 4&#176; forming the infamous Barbault basket, and with the Nodes shifting into Aquarius-Leo, July is shaping up to be a bookmark in the footnotes of history. Something big is going to shift. What will it be?</p><p>The Uranus-Pluto trine, a signal of revolutions, is exact on July 18, 2026.</p><p>With Jupiter in Leo opposite Pluto in Aquarius, expect financial challenges to appear; oil may play a role.</p><p>And on July 26, 2026, the nodes leave Pisces-Virgo and enter Aquarius-Leo.</p><p>According to the McWhirter cycle, this is when the US experiences economic lows. Why? Because the transiting South Node is in Leo, creating a nodal opposition with our Leo North Node.</p><p>With Pluto also closing in on our South Node in Aquarius in 2027, the economic storm clouds are gathering.</p><p>As I&#8217;ve been saying, the revolution kicks off in the US in July. People have had enough. What will be the trigger? And this just grows in momentum from June until the end of the year.</p><p>From October 3 to November 14, 2026, Venus is retrograde at 8&#176; Scorpio - 22&#176; Libra.</p><p>As soon as Venus stations direct, we have a Mars-Jupiter-South Node conjunction at 25&#176; Leo, which looks like an absolute mess for markets.</p><p>On November 29, 2026, we have another powerful Uranus-Pluto trine. Historically, this is the energy of rebellion and pushing back against oppression. With Pluto &#8220;out of bounds,&#8221; it&#8217;s a bad time to be a tyrant and a great time for the people to find their voice.</p><p>In 2027, we have Pluto closing in on the US South Node with the transiting Nodes moving deeper into Aquarius-Leo, which is where we typically see recessions.</p><p>So will we see a recession or a revolution? Both. With so much Uranian energy, innovation and rebellions, uprisings and breakthroughs will occur simultaneously.</p><p>And based on historical trends and astrological transits, it looks like a recession as well.</p><p>Invest wisely.</p><h2><strong>Discover your power, purpose and profession with <a href="https://bigbeautifulsky.com/astroidentity/">AstroIdentity&#8482;, an astrological success

</p><p>He said he had also never seen tank shortage levels this low. He also said Asia could begin to see severe shortages in May.</p><p>Despite Trump declaring a prospective peace deal in Iran today (AGAIN), <strong>Pluto</strong> just stationed retrograde at 5&#176; Aquarius, where it will remain until October 16, 2026, when it stations direct at 3&#176;. </p><p>And on July 4, 2026, when these shortages might start appearing, we have a very explosive <strong>Mars-Uranus</strong> conjunction.</p><p>The <strong>Mars-Uranus</strong> square kicked off the Iran War. The conjunction is the beginning of a new cycle, but also the continuation of an old story. It&#8217;s explosive. </p><p>With the US declaring ownership of other countries and <strong>Uranus</strong> now in Gemini, we always see the US borders change during this transit. </p><p>We also always see war (Revolutionary, Civil &amp; WWII). </p><p>With <strong>Neptune</strong> in Aries, that&#8217;s another trigger for war (Civil War). </p><p>With <strong>Pluto</strong> in Aquarius, that&#8217;s yet another trigger for war (Revolutionary). </p><p>The entire month of July is Uranian - shocking, sudden, innovative. </p><p>Coupled with the minor grand trine with <strong>Pluto</strong>, <strong>Uranus</strong>, and <strong>Neptune</strong> all at 4&#176; plus Jupiter at 4&#176; forming the infamous Barbault basket, combined with the <strong>Nodes</strong> shifting into Aquarius-Leo, July is shaping up to be a bookmark in the footnotes of history. </p><p>With <strong>Jupiter</strong> opposite <strong>Pluto</strong>, expect financial challenges; oil may play a role. </p><p>As I&#8217;ve been saying, the revolution kicks off in the US in July. People have had enough. </p><p>What will be the trigger?</p><p>With <strong>Pluto</strong> retrograde, the power shifts. Pluto&#8217;s effect becomes inverted, no longer pushing outward, it goes in, to dredge up the ugly truth from the depths. </p><p>We also have <strong>Pluto</strong> out of bounds to the south from Aug 21&#8211;Dec 1, 2026, which, according to astrologer Rosie Finn, means that the power shifts to the people. </p><p>Tyrants are overthrown and dethroned. </p><p>With King Charles showing up to remind the US Congress about checks and balances, you know things are truly insane. </p><p>With the midterms in full effect until November, it&#8217;s on like Donkey Kong from now until the end of the year. </p><p>As for your personal life, it&#8217;s time to get innovative. </p><p>The <strong>Uranus-Pluto</strong> trine forming means a whole new paradigm is being created. </p><p>Think electricity, fire from the gods, Prometheus - the world was never the same after we figured out how to power our homes, towns, and cities, the last time Uranus was trine Pluto during the 1920s. </p><p>That&#8217;s where we are right now, and it&#8217;s better to embrace the ensuing change and chaos than to fight it.

Or just enjoy the change in season. In the Northern Hemisphere, the days are getting longer and warmer. In the Southern Hemisphere, the days are getting shorter and cooler.</p><p>It&#8217;s a transition.</p><p>With so many planets in fiery Aries during April, May is Taurean, so it&#8217;s a good time to get back in the body.</p><p>With the <strong>Sun</strong>, <strong>Mercury</strong> and <strong>Mars</strong> moving into Taurus and a Taurus new moon, take time to savour life.</p><p>Ensure you enjoy some beautiful meals with loved ones, buy yourself something really gorgeous and luxurious, get a decadent massage or even better, spend an entire day at the spa.</p><p>Don&#8217;t forget that there are so many good things to celebrate in life.</p><h2><strong>Time for a Breather</strong></h2><p>April felt like a sword being forged: hot, molten metal being poured and beaten as it&#8217;s shaped into a weapon. May feels like taking that hot metal sword and plunging it into cold water to cool it off.</p><p>The forging is done. We&#8217;ve shaped the tool. Now it&#8217;s time to put it to use &#8211; or maybe just sheath it for a while.</p><p>May starts with a full <strong>Moon</strong> in Scorpio at 11&#176;20&#8217;.</p><p>April took us through the initiation with an Aries stellium and a power-packed new <strong>Moon</strong> in Aries.</p><p>What did you start? This full <strong>Moon</strong> in Scorpio is the purge. You can&#8217;t have the new until you ditch the old.</p><p>What needs to go so you can keep moving forward? Look at your chart &#8211; in which house does this full moon fall? What planets does it aspect?</p><p>That&#8217;s your clue &#8211; this is where you need to focus to keep the momentum.</p><p>All planets are still direct, so enjoy it while it lasts.</p><p>On May 2, <strong>Mercury</strong> enters Taurus, so that&#8217;s one less planet in Aries. Mercury in Taurus will force you to be a bit more practical than you may have been while it was in Pisces or Aries. No more delusions or lofty ideals.</p><p>On May 4th, <strong>Mars</strong> in Aries squares <strong>Jupiter</strong> in Cancer. Again, refer to your chart. What houses do Jupiter and Mars occupy? It&#8217;s a hint of what themes will play out. Expect conflict or a fight at home or within the family.</p><p>On May 5, <strong>Mercury</strong> in Taurus squares <strong>Pluto</strong> in Aquarius. Since a peace deal hasn&#8217;t been struck in Iran, this might trigger another round of violence in the Middle East. The next day, Pluto goes retrograde until October 16, 2026.</p><p>By the time it stations direct, I anticipate full-scale riots in the US. People have had enough.</p><h2><strong>Best Energy of the Month &#8211; May 10 &#8211; 18</strong></h2><p>On May 10, the <strong>Sun</strong> in Taurus sextile <strong>Jupiter</strong> in Cancer. Enjoy this day &#8211; it feels positive and bountiful.</p><p>On May 12, <strong>Mercury</strong> in Taurus sextiles <strong>Jupiter</strong> in Cancer and then on May 14, the <strong>Sun</strong> in Taurus is conjunct <strong>Mercury</strong> in Taurus &#8211; CAZIMI!</p><p>On May 16, the New <strong>Moon</strong> in Taurus at 25&#176;57&#8217; is conjunct <strong>Mercury</strong> at 28&#176;, which is within a few degrees of <strong>Uranus</strong> in Gemini at 1&#176;. <strong>Mars</strong> is also conjunct <strong>Chiron</strong> in Aries at 28&#176;.</p><p>If you&#8217;re looking for inspiration, this is the day to find it. Again, look at your chart and the house this occupies. That is your next step. It&#8217;s also a great day to speak what you want to create into existence.</p><p>The next day, <strong>Mercury</strong> enters Gemini, where it is in its domicile and is conjunct <strong>Uranus</strong>. <strong>Mercury</strong> is happy here, so is Uranus. Trump is supposed to be in China meeting with Xi. Expect disruption, rapid developments, media and news channels really blowing up. I&#8217;m hoping this energy brings us some very positive developments and news.</p><p>On May 18, <strong>Mars</strong> leaves Aries, where it&#8217;s in domicile and enters Taurus, where it is in detriment. Considering everything going on, the warrior needs to stop warring, so again, I&#8217;m hoping this brings us positive developments regarding Iran.</p><p>Please, everyone, stop fighting.</p><p>Trump is travelling to China to meet with Xi on May 14, 2026, which is a Sun-Mercury conjunction in Taurus at 23&#176;48&#8217;. He originally planned to meet with Xi on March 31, but unlike Venezuela, Iran put up an unexpected (to Trump and his nimrods) fight. So he had to cancel it and postpone so he could show up in China with a prize.</p><p>We have a new Moon in Taurus at 25&#176; on May 16, Mercury enters Gemini on May 17 and is conjunct Uranus in Gemini at 1&#176; on May 18, the same day Mars leaves Aries and enters Taurus.</p><p>I expect this to be when a deal is struck. Curious to see how markets react. Planets point to a peace deal solidified in May, and markets respond positively. From there, it&#8217;s months of energy shocks and inflation, and by July, a revolution in the US is brewing.</p><p>Everything changes mid-year. July is the month I expect the energy to totally shift. The people who believe they have the power right now might not have it in the second half of the year. Stay tuned.</p><h2><strong>Gemini Time</strong></h2><p>On May 19, <strong>Mercury</strong> in Gemini trines <strong>Pluto</strong> in Aquarius, which means something is uncovered that we didn&#8217;t know, or more information is revealed about something we need to know.</p><p>The same day, <strong>Venus</strong> enters Cancer to join Jupiter, so we have that beautiful energy as well. It&#8217;s a nice time to beautify your home.</p><p>On May 20, the <strong>Sun</strong> enters Gemini to join <strong>Mercury</strong> and conjunct <strong>Uranus</strong> on the 22nd. It feels like markets will be extremely volatile in May.</p><p>One of the days that I&#8217;m watching is May 25th. <strong>Mars</strong> in Taurus squares <strong>Pluto</strong> in Aquarius, which could trigger a power struggle. It feels like &#8220;oh yeah, mine is bigger than yours energy, with <strong>Pluto</strong> proving that he is, in fact, bigger.</p><p>Whoever is <strong>Pluto</strong> in this scenario wins. The last time <strong>Mars</strong> was conjunct <strong>Pluto</strong> was January 27, 2026. The US had just deposed Maduro and was sending troops to the Gulf, planning an attack on Iran and threatening to invade Greenland. I suppose this will trigger more of this.</p><p>On May 26, the <strong>Sun</strong> in Gemini trines <strong>Pluto</strong> in Aquarius, illuminating this power struggle further.</p><p>On May 28, <strong>Venus</strong> in Cancer squares <strong>Saturn</strong> in Aries. Look back and assess your finances. What was happening when Venus was conjunct Saturn back in March? That&#8217;s your clue.</p><p>To finish out the month on May 31, we have the full <strong>Moon</strong> in Sagittarius at 9&#176;55&#8217;, trine <strong>Saturn</strong> in Aries at 12&#176;, and sextile <strong>Pluto</strong> in Aquarius at 5&#176;. Because the <strong>Moon</strong> is trine Saturn and sextile Pluto, this feels like the end of something quite big.</p><p>The world will never be the same. Maybe this is the day that globalisation really dies. The world is being divided into regional blocs. Curious to see what happens when Trump meets with Xi. Who gets what and when? Maybe we&#8217;ll see how this plan will take shape by the end of May.</p><h2><strong>Key Dates</strong></h2><p>May 1 &#8212; Full moon in Scorpio 11&#176;20&#8217;; Venus in Gemini sextile Saturn in Aries; Mercury in Aries conjunct Chiron<br>May 2 &#8212; Mercury enters Taurus<br>May 4 &#8212; Mars in Aries square Jupiter in Cancer<br>May 5 &#8212; Mercury in Taurus square Pluto in Aquarius<br>May 6 &#8212; Pluto retrograde in Aquarius<br>May 10 &#8212; Sun in Taurus sextile Jupiter in Cancer<br>May 12 &#8212; Mercury in Taurus sextile Jupiter in Cancer<br>May 14 &#8212; Sun in Taurus conjunct Mercury in Taurus<br>May 16 &#8212; New moon in Taurus 25&#176;57&#8217;<br>May 17 &#8212; Mercury enters Gemini<br>May 17 &#8212; Mercury in Gemini conjunct Uranus in Gemini<br>May 18 &#8212; Mars enters Taurus<br>May 18 &#8212; Venus enters Cancer<br>May 18 &#8212; Mercury in Gemini sextile Neptune in Aries<br>May 18 &#8212; Venus in Cancer sextile Mars in Taurus<br>May 19 &#8212; Mercury in Gemini trine Pluto in Aquarius<br>May 20 &#8212; Sun enters Gemini<br>May 21 &#8212; Venus in Cancer square Neptune in Aries<br>May 22 &#8212; Sun in Gemini conjunct Uranus in Gemini<br>May 22 &#8212; Mercury in Gemini sextile Saturn in Aries<br>May 24 &#8212; Sun in Gemini sextile Neptune in Aries<br>May 25 &#8212; Mars in Taurus square Pluto in Aquarius<br>May 26 &#8212; Sun in Gemini trine Pluto in Aquarius<br>May 28 &#8212; Venus in Cancer square Saturn in Aries<br>May 31 &#8212; Full moon in Sagittarius</p><h2><strong>Discover your power, purpose and profession with <a href="https://bigbeautifulsky.com/astroidentity/">AstroIdentity&#8482;, an astrological success blueprint</a> that uncovers the keys to a fulfilling life and career.</strong></h2>]]></content:encoded></item><item><title><![CDATA[Saturn-Neptune Conjunctions & Iran: Why Iran is Such a Global Trigger Point]]></title><description><![CDATA[Let&#8217;s dig deeper into the Iran war and the astrology of the Saturn-Neptune conjunction from WWI to 2026.]]></description><link>https://fromtheether.substack.com/p/saturn-neptune-conjunctions-and-iran</link><guid isPermaLink="false">https://fromtheether.substack.com/p/saturn-neptune-conjunctions-and-iran</guid><dc:creator><![CDATA[Big Beautiful Sky]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Mon, 30 Mar 2026 01:34:41 GMT</pubDate><enclosure url="https://api.substack.com/feed/podcast/192564531/eb4401db8221411846b92349747a9719.mp3" length="0" type="audio/mpeg"/><content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Let&#8217;s dig deeper into the Iran war and the astrology of the Saturn-Neptune conjunction from WWI to 2026. I also did some remote viewing on the Iran War and what the result will be. So let&#8217;s dive in.</p><h2><strong>Saturn-Neptune Conjunction 0&#176; Aries 4361 BCE</strong></h2><p>Saturn represents structure, boundaries, authority, governments, discipline, death, and the weight of material reality.</p><p>Neptune represents dreams, illusions, dissolution, ideology, deception, oil, religion, and the transcendent.</p><p>When these two planets conjoin every ~36 years, there&#8217;s a collision between the real and the ideal, with old structures dissolving, new visions created, and the line between liberation and tyranny blurring. It is a new world order and a reset for sure. And I&#8217;ll show you why.</p><p>Historically, this conjunction has triggered revolutions, regime changes, foreign occupations, and the rewriting of national identity. For Iran, this cycle has played out with startling precision across four consecutive conjunctions, each one marking an external intervention in the country&#8217;s sovereignty, almost always involving oil, foreign powers, and the toppling or installation of rulers.</p><p>There is a thread connecting 1917 to 1952 to 1989, and now to 2026, and the story is an unbroken chain of a nation defined, at each turning point, by the same forces: imperialism, theocracy, oil, and resistance.</p><p>But if we really want to dive deep, let&#8217;s go back to the last Saturn-Neptune conjunction at 0&#176; Aries in 4361 BCE and talk about how this, too, relates to Iran.</p><p><strong>Disclaimer</strong>: I did not calculate this date, which is 6,386 years ago. Other brilliant astrologers calculated this, and I am referring to their work. Exact dates vary depending on the chart cast, but I did find a consensus of 4361 BCE.</p><h2><strong>The History of the Fertile Crescent</strong></h2><p>The south-western part of Iran was considered part of the Fertile Crescent, where most of humanity&#8217;s first major crops were grown in villages, and it&#8217;s considered the seed point of western civilisation.</p><p>The Fertile Crescent is a crescent-shaped region in the Middle East, including modern-day Iraq, Israel, Jordan, Lebanon, Palestine, and Syria, together with northern Kuwait, south-eastern Turkey, and western Iran, and some also include Cyprus and northern Egypt.</p><p>Archaeologically, the window around 4361 BCE marks the transition from the Neolithic Stone Age to the Chalcolithic Copper Age in the Iranian Plateau. It was also the transition to agriculture.</p><p>In Iran specifically, it was the era of Susa I, founded possibly as early as 4395 BCE.</p><p>The settlement of Susa (in modern-day Khuzestan, Iran) transitioned from a simple village to a monumental ceremonial centre with the construction of the Great Platform, a massive mud-brick structure that served as the political and religious anchor for the region.</p><p>It was the first time humans in Iran structured (Saturn) a unified vision (Neptune) into a centralised state. We start to see grander displays of organisation and worship from this point on. Aries is a fire sign ruled by Mars (metal).</p><p>4361 BCE saw a sudden leap in copper metallurgy in Iran. The transition from stone tools to cast copper mirrors this Aries energy of forging a new, sharper reality. The Fertile Crescent is believed to be the first region where settled farming emerged, as people began clearing and modifying natural vegetation to cultivate domesticated crops.</p><p>So, with the Saturn-Neptune conjunction at 0&#176; Aries on February 20, 2026, this, too, will mark a huge leap in technological development. And it all seems to be kicking off with war over oil and energy, and who controls it and how. Because energy underpins everything, we can&#8217;t develop our technology without energy.</p><h2><strong>Saturn-Neptune Conjunction 4&#176; Leo</strong></h2><p>Now, I didn&#8217;t go through the ages and track Saturn-Neptune conjunctions from this point. I kept getting an intuitive hit that the war in Iran was just a continuation of WWI. I started looking at the history of past conjunctions and stumbled upon some very common themes.</p><p><strong>On August 1 1917, in the sign of Leo, </strong>the sign of kings, sovereign power, the Sun, the individual, and imperial pride. Saturn in Leo suppresses kings; Neptune dissolves their power.</p><p>During WWI, a series of military conflicts occurred between the Ottoman Empire, the British Empire, and the Russian Empire in various areas of what was then neutral Iran, beginning in December 1914 and ending with the Armistice of Mudros on 30 October 1918, as part of the Middle Eastern Theatre.</p><p>The long-term impact was that, in 1921, a British-backed coup installed Reza Khan to secure oil rights, marking the beginning of Iran&#8217;s oil exploitation. The British Empire occupied the south (protecting the Anglo-Persian Oil Company), the Russian Empire occupied the north, and the Ottoman Empire fought through the northwest. The country became a battlefield for foreign powers with no regard for its civilian population.</p><p>The Persian Famine of 1917&#8211;1919 killed approximately 2 million people, though higher estimates range from 8&#8211;10 million.</p><p>The Balfour Declaration was issued on November 2, 1917, just three months after the Saturn-Neptune conjunction. British Foreign Secretary Arthur Balfour sent a letter to Lord Rothschild declaring British support for a Jewish homeland in Palestine. It planted the seed of modern Israel, the state that, 109 years later, would participate in military strikes that killed Iran&#8217;s Supreme Leader.</p><p>After WWI, the partition of the Ottoman Empire began after the occupation of Constantinople by British, French, and Italian troops in November 1918. The partitioning was planned in several agreements made by the Allied Powers early in the course of World War I, notably the Sykes&#8211;Picot Agreement, a 1916 secret treaty between the United Kingdom and France, with assent from Russia and Italy, to define their mutually agreed spheres of influence and control in an eventual partition of the Ottoman Empire.</p><h2><strong>Saturn-Neptune Conjunction 22&#176; Libra</strong></h2><p><strong>During 1952/53, in the sign of Libra,</strong> the sign of law, justice, balance, diplomacy, and agreements, it is also the sign of scales being tipped, justice overturned or deferred. The exact dates were:</p><ul><li><p>Nov 21 1952</p></li><li><p>May 17 1953</p></li><li><p>Jul 21 1953</p></li></ul><p>A coup in Iran was implemented by the United Kingdom (MI6), under the name Operation Boot and the United States (CIA), under the name Operation Ajax. The motive was to protect British oil interests after Mosaddegh nationalised the country&#8217;s oil industry.</p><p>Mohammad Mosaddegh became Iran&#8217;s prime minister in 1951. He immediately moved to nationalise the Anglo-Iranian Oil Company (later known as BP), which had for decades extracted enormous profits from Iranian oil while paying Iran a royalty far smaller than its own earnings.</p><p>Britain&#8217;s response was to organise a sweeping international boycott of Iranian oil, impose economic sanctions, and begin plotting Mosaddegh&#8217;s removal. When President Harry Truman refused to participate in a coup, Britain waited for Dwight Eisenhower, who took office in January 1953, precisely as the Saturn-Neptune conjunction was forming. Operation Ajax (CIA) and Operation Boot (MI6) were executed in August 1953.</p><p>CIA-funded agents spread disinformation portraying Mosaddegh as a communist sympathiser. Paid demonstrators, bribed politicians, and allied military units stormed his residence. After heavy street fighting (approximately 300 killed), Mosaddegh&#8217;s government collapsed on August 19, 1953. He was sentenced to three years in prison, then lived under house arrest until he died in 1967.</p><p>As thanks for US assistance, the Shah was installed and signed over 40% of Iran&#8217;s oil fields to American companies. Oil (Neptune) was once again the prize. The attempt at justice (Libra) by Iran&#8217;s nationalising its oil was blocked (Saturn) by a coup: a democratic leader was removed, and a monarch was given more power by foreign influence, claiming to defend the law.</p><p>The Shah&#8217;s increasingly autocratic rule, backed by US arms, created the pressure-cooker that exploded in 1979. The Islamic Revolution, the hostage crisis, the Iran-Iraq War, and every subsequent confrontation between Iran and the West trace their lineage directly to this coup.</p><h2><strong>The 1979 Islamic Revolution: The Saturn-Neptune Square</strong></h2><p>Though not a Saturn-Neptune conjunction year, 1979 was a square in the cycle between 1952/53 and 1989. The square brought crisis and confrontation with the 1979 Iranian Revolution, as was the direct consequence of the 1953 coup.</p><p>The Shah&#8217;s autocracy, built on that Western intervention, generated a 26-year accumulation of rage that finally burst. Ruhollah Mostafavi Musavi Khomeini became the Supreme Leader, and Khomeini&#8217;s Islamic Republic was Iran&#8217;s most radical attempt to expel the foreign Saturn that had been crushing it since 1917.</p><p>The revolution also produced the Iran-Iraq War (1980&#8211;1988), in which the US and Western powers covertly supported Saddam Hussein&#8217;s Iraq, including providing intelligence used to direct chemical weapons attacks on Iranian troops. By the time Saturn and Neptune conjoined again in 1989, Iran was exhausted from eight years of war.</p><h2><strong>Saturn-Neptune Conjunction 11&#176; Capricorn</strong></h2><p><strong>In 1989, in the sign of Capricorn, </strong>the sign of governments, institutions, hierarchies, authority, ambition, and structural power, Saturn is at home in Capricorn where it is in its rulership. The exact dates were:</p><ul><li><p>Mar 3 1989</p></li><li><p>Jun 23 1989</p></li><li><p>Nov 13 1989</p></li></ul><p>On his deathbed in 1989, Khomeini appointed a 25-man Constitutional Reform Council, which named then-president Ali Khamenei as the next Supreme Leader, and made several changes to Iran&#8217;s constitution.</p><p>A smooth transition followed Khomeini&#8217;s death on 3 June 1989. While Khamenei lacked Khomeini&#8217;s &#8220;charisma and clerical standing&#8221;, he developed a network of supporters within Iran&#8217;s armed forces and its economically powerful religious foundations. Under his reign, Iran&#8217;s regime is said by at least one observer to resemble more &#8220;a clerical oligarchy &#8230; than an autocracy.&#8221;</p><p>Ali-Akbar Hashemi Rafsanjani succeeded Khamenei as president on 3 August 1989, as a pragmatic conservative who served two four-year terms and focused on rebuilding the country&#8217;s economy and infrastructure damaged by war, though he was hampered by low oil prices.</p><p>Rafsanjani sought to restore confidence in the government among the general population by privatising the companies that had been nationalised in the first few years of the Islamic Republic, as well as by bringing in qualified technocrats to manage the economy.</p><p>The state of their economy also influenced the government to move towards ending its diplomatic isolation by improving relations with neighbours such as Saudi Arabia and by attempting to improve its reputation in the region by asserting that its revolution was not exportable to other states.</p><p>During the Gulf War in 1991, the country remained neutral, restricting its actions to condemning the U.S. Under Khamenei, Iran developed its nuclear programme, built Hezbollah into a military force, funded Houthi rebels in Yemen, supported Hamas in Gaza, and created an Axis of Resistance stretching from Tehran to Beirut. Every one of these developments directly contributed to the conditions that triggered the 2026 war.</p><h2><strong>Saturn-Neptune Conjunction 0&#176; Aries</strong></h2><p><strong>February 20, 2026, in the sign of Aries, </strong>the sign of war, aggression, and new beginnings, this Saturn-Neptune conjunction hit the 0&#176; World Point. The 2026 Iran war began on 28 February 2026, when the United States and Israel launched surprise airstrikes on multiple sites and cities across Iran, killing Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei, who was installed during the last Saturn-Neptune conjunction and several other Iranian officials.</p><p>Iran responded with missile and drone strikes against Israel, US bases, and US-allied countries in the Middle East and the closure of the Strait of Hormuz, which is currently threatening to plunge the global economy into an oil crisis and a deep recession or depression, not to mention famine. Throughout all four Saturn-Neptune cycles, oil has been the recurring Neptune theme.</p><p>In 1917, oil concession rights were the prize behind the WWI occupation.</p><p>In 1953, oil nationalisation triggered the CIA/MI6 coup.</p><p>In 1989, oil revenue funded the post-war rebuilding.</p><p>In 2026, the closure of the Strait of Hormuz, through which approximately 20% of global oil supply passes, threatens a global economic crisis that dwarfs previous oil shocks. Neptune rules oil, the sea, and dissolution of boundaries.</p><p>The Strait of Hormuz, a narrow waterway between Iran and the Arabian Peninsula, is, in Neptunian terms, the literal chokepoint of the world&#8217;s liquid energy. Closing it is simultaneously an act of Saturn (imposing a hard boundary) and Neptune (threatening to dissolve the global economic structure that depends on the free flow of oil).</p><h2><strong>Conjunction Themes in Iran</strong></h2><ol><li><p>Every single Saturn-Neptune conjunction since 1917 has involved a struggle over Iranian oil.</p></li><li><p>Each Saturn-Neptune conjunction has either ended an Iranian ruler&#8217;s power or installed a new one, often both simultaneously.</p></li><li><p>Iran has never undergone a major political transformation under Saturn-Neptune without the direct involvement of a foreign power. The pattern suggests that at each conjunction, a Western or regional power identifies an opportunity to reshape Iran&#8217;s government to suit its strategic interests.</p></li><li><p>The Neptune dimension of the conjunction always threatens the physical dissolution of bodies, of economies, of the basic structures of survival, triggering famine, economic collapse, and humanitarian crises.</p></li><li><p>Israel and Iran: The astrological and historical connection to 1917 and 2026 is direct. The Balfour Declaration, issued two months after the 1917 Leo conjunction, was the founding document that set in motion the creation of the modern state of Israel. 109 years later, exactly three Saturn-Neptune cycles, Israel participates in strikes that kill Iran&#8217;s Supreme Leader. The war that started on 28 February 2026 between the United States, Israel, and Iran is not a new war. It is the continuation of one that began in 1914, was repeatedly paused, and has never truly been resolved.</p></li></ol><h2><strong>The Reshaping of the Global Order</strong></h2><p>So, looking at these Saturn-Neptune conjunctions, there are always huge changes for Iran, and they ripple out into the broader global context because of oil. Neptune = oil and Saturn = control. So this conjunction just keeps doing its thing.</p><p>The US is now one of the world&#8217;s largest natural gas exporters, following the destruction of Qatar&#8217;s Ras Laffan. Looking into the future, the US will no longer protect global trade and will then retreat to deal with domestic issues. That won&#8217;t happen right away, but eventually.</p><p>This is most likely the end of globalisation, as the US unwinds its global military presence to address domestic issues and debt. This means that the emerging world is multipolar and regional.</p><p>No matter what happens, Iran will need rebuilding. China will be the only power with the financial scale, the infrastructure construction expertise, and the absence of moral objections to become the primary reconstruction partner for whatever government emerges. Because of this, China becomes the regional leader in Asia in partnership with India.</p><p>Russia will continue to supply oil and gas to Europe and Asia, where there are shortfalls, and the US will dominate supply to Europe and the Americas. In the long term, I saw Israel losing power as the US retreats and the Arab world comes together in the Middle East.</p><p>I see a new, reinvigorated Middle East with strong ties to Asia. This seems to bring the Middle East closer together, to refocus on Asia, and build new alliances. Asia will be restructured.</p><p>I also saw Australia recognising that regional allies are more important than the US and the UK, which are both very far away. There will be a refocus on Asian allies, especially India, China, Singapore and Japan. I think the Middle East will continue to be in conflict over the next few years, but I saw things really coming to a head. There is a massive restructuring underway. We&#8217;ll see what happens.</p><h2><strong>What will the next Saturn-Neptune conjunction on June 7, 2061, at 20&#176; Gemini look like?</strong></h2><p>Most likely, the multi-polar world has taken shape, and instead of a reserve currency, there are several. There is no one, dominant global force, but countries leading their regional blocs.</p><p>This could be a further splintering of these regional blocs, forcing neighbouring countries to work together in creative ways. I don&#8217;t see the new world order as a one-world government. I see it as regional blocs with technology linking them all. Trade is splintered.</p><h3><strong>Discover your power, purpose and profession with <a href="https://bigbeautifulsky.com/astroidentity/">AstroIdentity&#8482;, an astrological success blueprint</a> that uncovers the keys to a fulfilling life and career.</strong></h3>]]></content:encoded></item><item><title><![CDATA[When Will the Iran War End?

In Virginia, where I grew up, electrical storms in the dead of winter are unheard of. It was a clear signal: <strong>Big changes were coming for the United States.</strong></p><p>Then there was the veteran in the Tesla at Trump Tower, a tragic omen of the &#8220;DOGE&#8221; era that followed. We watched the rise of the plutocracy, the appointment of billionaire &#8220;consultants,&#8221; and the eventual fallout when the collective finally said &#8220;enough&#8221; and tanked the stock.</p><p>Now, in 2026, the metaphor has shifted from lightning to <strong>ice</strong>.</p><h2>The Paradox of Aquarius: Boundaries vs. Breakthroughs</h2><p>We are currently in Aquarius season, and it&#8217;s no coincidence that the U.S. is covered in ice while &#8220;ICE&#8221; (as a paramilitary force) is at the forefront of the news.</p><p>Aquarius is co-ruled by two very different planets:</p><ul><li><p><strong>Saturn:</strong> The planet of structure, limitations, and the &#8220;old guard.&#8221;</p></li><li><p><strong>Uranus:</strong> The planet of revolution, innovation, and the future.</p></li></ul><p>This creates a <strong>paradox</strong>. We are currently hitting a wall of authoritarianism (Saturn), but that very wall is what will force the breakthrough (Uranus). We aren&#8217;t moving backward, we&#8217;re being compressed so that we can eventually explode forward.</p><div><hr></div><h2>Key Astrological Dates for 2026</h2><p>If you&#8217;re wondering when the momentum really starts to shift, keep your eyes on these windows:</p><h3>February 2026: The Initiation</h3><ul><li><p><strong>February 4:</strong> Uranus goes direct. The &#8220;stuck&#8221; feeling begins to thaw.</p></li><li><p><strong>February 17:</strong> A Solar Eclipse at 28&#176; Aquarius squares Uranus - this is our initiation. </p></li></ul><h3>April 26, 2026: Uranus Enters Gemini</h3><p>This is the big one. Uranus will stay in Gemini for the next seven to eight years. The last time this happened, the world saw massive shifts in communication and conflict. It&#8217;s going to be chaotic, but it&#8217;s the kind of chaos that breaks old, stagnant systems.</p><h3>July 4, 2026: The Tipping Point</h3><p>This is the <strong>250th Anniversary of the United States</strong>, and the sky is busy:</p><ul><li><p><strong>Mars-Uranus Conjunction:</strong> A high-voltage energy of rebellion.</p></li><li><p><strong>Outer Planet Alignment:</strong> We will have all the outer planets, plus Jupiter, at 4 degrees.</p></li><li><p><strong>July 26:</strong> The Nodes shift into Aquarius/Leo.</p></li></ul><p>July feels like a massive turning point for the collective. This isn&#8217;t just a birthday for the U.S., it&#8217;s a reckoning.</p><h3>November 2026: The Rebellion Intensifies </h3><p>By late November, we see a powerful <strong>Pluto-Uranus trine</strong>. Historically, this is the energy of rebellion and pushing back against oppression. With Pluto &#8220;out of bounds,&#8221; it&#8217;s a bad time to be a tyrant and a great time for the people to find their voice.</p><div><hr></div><h2>How to Navigate the &#8220;Dark Age&#8221;</h2><p>I&#8217;m not going to sugarcoat it: this is a dark age, not a golden one. We are seeing women and immigrants being targeted. We are seeing those deemed &#8220;weak&#8221; being bullied by those in power.</p><p><strong>But there is light at the end of the tunnel.</strong> The worse the overreach gets, the more people will be compelled to stand up. Here is how we handle this &#8220;wild ride&#8221;:</p><ol><li><p><strong>Stick Together:</strong> Anyone being targeted needs our collective shield.</p></li><li><p><strong>Be Strategic:</strong> This isn&#8217;t the time for aimless aggression. Use civil disobedience, economic strikes, and peaceful protests.</p></li><li><p><strong>Don&#8217;t Burn Out:</strong> The energy this year is &#8220;Uranian&#8221; so it&#8217;s fast and shocking. Save your strength for the moments that matter.</p></li></ol><p>Progress <em>will</em> prevail. We aren&#8217;t being told what to do anymore.</p>]]></content:encoded></item><item><title><![CDATA[War, Currency, Freedom & Innovation]]></title><description><![CDATA[Uranus in Gemini]]></description><link>https://fromtheether.substack.com/p/war-currency-freedom-and-innovation</link><guid isPermaLink="false">https://fromtheether.substack.com/p/war-currency-freedom-and-innovation</guid><dc:creator><![CDATA[Big Beautiful Sky]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Mon, 26 Jan 2026 22:52:24 GMT</pubDate><enclosure url="https://substack-video.s3.amazonaws.com/video_upload/post/185900163/ff15e3ea-dc16-423a-b0eb-dad88f2172c2/transcoded-00001.png" length="0" type="image/jpeg"/><content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>As Uranus moves into Gemini, we aren&#8217;t just looking at a minor vibe shift, we&#8217;re entering a window of radical reinvention for the United States.</p><p>Historically, when Uranus hits Gemini, the status quo doesn&#8217;t just bend, it breaks to make room for something entirely new. </p><p>From the Revolutionary War to the birth of the reserve dollar, here is why the next sev&#8230;</p>
