Happy New year again! Spring Equinox begins a new Astrological Year and boy, does it start with a bang. We have so much going on upstairs, it is hard to know where to begin the story. The sheer intensity and the ammount of stuff to convey have kept me from starting this newsletter for days, but here I am, I will do my best…
This Spring Equinox begins a brand new cycle of the Sun around the Zodiac, but this year we also have the New Moon happening at the same time, last time it happened together was in 2004. Think about that year, what great changes did it bring into your life back then? As the king and the queen make their first step into the future hand in hand, this New Chapter will be even more pronounced and dramatic as it rolls into our lives with a double punch. This is a sign of collective synchronization, this year will mark a fresh start for many, regardless of location, religion, age, or gender.
The second major alignment that happens at the time of the Equinox is that of Jupiter and Chiron in Aries, and that is another very significant factor, pointing out the energy of the upcoming astrological year. Chiron is essentially blocked from our view, hidden behind the brilliant giant Jupiter, which symbolically represents political figures and big agendas obstructing our view of the wounding and victimization of the common people. Jupiter is hiding from our view the victims of big ideological ideas, those who “had to be sacrificed” for the greater good.
In the sign of Aries Chiron is the ultimate sacrificial lamb being laid out on the altar of grand political agendas and blown-up egos of the wealthy rulers. Jupiter moves into the new astrological year essentially riding on top of Chiron’s back. Chiron represents refugees, victims of medical procedures, the wounded, the abused, the disabled, and the ostracized. Jupiter on Chiron can also bring another pandemic-like experience, as well as possible new cures and new experimental medicine, rolled out with exxadurated confidence, blind to collateral damages and side effects.
On the brighter side of this alignment, we may see the emergence of powerful healers, new remedies, health modalities, innovated approaches to disease and sickness. We may see doctors and medical professionals going into politics and becoming influential leaders based on promises of improving broken health policies and a more efficient crisis management approach.
Another significant alignment happening right at the start of this new year is that of Venus and Rahu in the sign of Taurus. Their conjunction points out that this year’s general collective direction will be about our values, finances and resources. With Uranus also transiting the sign of Taurus, while Pluto enters Aquarius (Uranus’s home sign) we can expect major changes, unexpected financial crashes and/or upgrades, technological malfunction of the operating systems, cyber accidents, currency modifications and big shifts of wealth and power. This year will have a major role in shaping our financial institutions, banking, stock markets and investments as well as farming, real estate, and management of natural resources.
Do you have all your ducks in a raw? Are your investments recession-proof? Taurus is a collector and loves hoarding and storing things of value for future stability. Are your pantry cabinets and cellars fully stocked? Do you have what you need in case of crisis, financial collapse or shortages? Do you have enough resources stored like food, appliances, medicine, gasoline, armaments, cash, precious metals, etc.? Do not take these warnings lightly, those who choose to ignore this astrological message may suffer the consequences later, especially around May-June of this year. A phenomenon known as the occultation of Venus will happen on March 24th, 2023, bringing with it a clear warning for this year that on the third to the fourth month of this astrological year (May-June) a major crisis may take place. Forewarned is forearmed!
The occultation of Venus will also affect us in many other ways, such as relationships, money, comfort, love and connection. These energies may suffer a temporary glitch, in other words, there could be a lack thereof for a while, leaving us without Venus’s loving and caring feminine influence on Earth. In the eyes of ancient Mayans, this is a major omen, as they based a large part of their predictions on the placements and movements of Venus, Earth’s sister planet.
There is more. An occultation of Jupiter also happens in conjunction with Chiron in the first 12 days of the New Astrological year, bringing with it another major warning - one thing this year won’t be is uneventful. This is another warning from the stars in regards to this year. This occultation falls on March 22, 2023 , 1-2 days after the point of Equinox, announcing that on the second to third month (April-May) of this year a major political figure or influential leader may be suffering an illness, injury or accident with possible fatal outcome, creating a brand new situation in the world arena and completely changing the game of politics around the world, as well as the general political and socio-economic structure.
Those leaders with strong Jupiter or Jupiter/Chiron influences in their birth charts may be the most likely candidates to be affected by this occultation. Some examples may be: Donald Trump (natal Jupiter/Chiron conjunction) or Volomimir Zelensky of Ukraine, who has Jupiter conjunct his natal Ascendant. There are other leaders around the world who may have these planets highly pronounced in their birth charts and the keywords for Pluto in 0*Aquarius are “sudden” and “unexpected”. This occultation is happening in the sign of Aries, which represents war and weaponry and so a war injury or even an execution is also a strong possibility.
Speaking of Pluto in 0*Aquarius, lets not forget that this planet of extreme transformations and revelations will spend 2 months (April+May) in 0*Aquarius this year, the same fated degree that started the massive changes we have been seeing in the last 3 years since 2020. Pluto will go stationary in 0*Aquarius, which will intensify his power and influence even further, causing a massive level of awakening in humanity. A lot of astrologers out there created entire several-part series on Pluto and his influence- this is a massive subject, Pluto is a super powerhouse that will not be ignored, affecting us all on the collective level as well as deeply personal and subconscious levels.
Many associate Pluto with darkness and evil, but that is a misunderstanding that tags along and stems (to a degree) from a misunderstanding of Scorpio energy in general. Pluto and its aspects that came to be associated with Scorpio are not the darkness- they are the revealers of darkness. Blaming Pluto and Scorpio for being too dark is like blaming the messenger for delivering a warning. Yes, their message is troubling and upsetting at times, but would you rather NOT know the truth?
Pluto is like a secret investigator you hired to spy on your enemy, and so when he comes up to you and says he has got some important news for you- you know it won’t be pretty, but that’s why you hired him in the first place, right?…
Pluto is a multidimensional shaman. He travels on the edge of our solar system, crossing in and out of light. Just like a shaman he travels in between worlds, delivering messages from the spirit world into the world of humans and back, facilitating the purging of evil spirits from our souls, he operates in the world of shadows. He is an exorcist: he is dark, secretive, uncompromising, penetrating, healing, and purifying. Is he “nice” - No… Is he needed? Yes.
Aquarius represents humanity in its most basic and fixed meaning, and Pluto entering this sign is akin to a shaman making all of us drink the bitter purging drink that will purify us all … eventually. We have 20 years to reach that final goal of massive healing and liberation for all humanity on Earth, we’d have to purge the darkness we have been collectively possessed by for a very very long time. In other words, Pluto is about to perform an exorcism on humanity. Will it be pretty? No. Is it needed? Yes
Pluto now is only 30 seconds away from leaving Capricorn and will move into the zero point of Aquarius on Thursday, March 23, 2023 (tomorrow!). Our collective cups have already been filled with the psychedelic mixture, which will send us all into another dimensional reality. We are all about to take our first taste of this mind-scrambling elixir over the next two months, it will be intense, to say the least. We will fully drink our Plutonian potions of bitter truth starting next year, when Pluto will completely and finally move into the sign of Aquarius, but this year we will have our first sips - get your buckets ready everyone! This will be an awakening on steroids.
