THE CURRENT QUALITY OF TIME for August 2022

THE CURRENT QUALITY OF TIME for August 2022

Mars, Uranus, node in Taurus
We can expect plenty of excitement in the first few days of August. Mars, Uranus and the Moon's Node form a conjunction in Taurus during the first two days. Expect the unexpected, shakeups and proverbial or even real tremors during these days. Fortunately, the Sun is in a harmonious aspect with Jupiter in Aries. This time may well bring sudden breakthroughs and energetic progress for the better. However, what was already poorly established before could now collapse. In any case, the events of these days will have a great impact on the further events of the year and will affect many. At this time, foolish actions taken in the heat of the moment are dangerous and can have serious and lasting consequences.

Mercury enters Virgo on August 4.

It now becomes more apparent what has actually happened in the last few days. However, it is too early for a final judgment. Mars squares Saturn in Aquarius on August 7, which could put a strain on frustration tolerance. Venus in Cancer simultaneously makes a trine to Neptune in Pisces, an opposition to Pluto in Capricorn on the 9th, and then enters Leo on the 11th. The mood swings back and forth between compassion and sarcasm before we finally remember our own dignity. The Sun forms a trine to Chiron in Aries on the 8th and a square to Uranus and the Moon's Node on the 11th. For a moment there is room for maneuver, which should be used decisively, especially if there is an opportunity to address misunderstandings or old hurts. Some old issues can be cleared up and closed now.


Full moon in Aquarius

The climax of this time is the Aquarius Full Moon on August 12, which is conjunct Saturn and square Uranus and the Moon's Node. This highly charged quality of time is intense and challenging. However, with courage and determination, its creative potential can be liberated and utilized. An important step in a collective "birthing process" is now taking place, and as with a real birth, there is now only one possible direction of movement: forward. Stability now means surrendering to the flow of development while remaining focused. On August 14, when the Sun opposes Saturn and Mars reaches a trine to Pluto, the difference between real authority and authoritarian behavior could become clearly visible.


Mercury

The second half of the month is clearly marked by the activity of Mercury, the messenger of the gods. It trines Uranus and the lunar nodes on August 16, opposes Neptune on the 21st, and trines Pluto on the 22nd. Mars enters Gemini on August 20, and the Sun enters Virgo on the 23rd. Life continues, and dealing with day-to-day matters allows no delay, although much improvisational talent is now required. There is lively communication, although not everything that is proclaimed now will necessarily be true. Especially in the days of the New Moon on August 27, nerves could be raw. Mars is square to the New Moon, Venus forms a square to Uranus at the same time as well as an opposition to Saturn (exact on the 28th). Personal claims may have to be put aside, and sensitivities - one's own as well as those of others - may have to be endured.

THE CURRENT QUALITY OF TIME for July 2022

THE CURRENT QUALITY OF TIME for July 2022

Mars and Pluto

The quality of time in July is highly charged and somewhat volcanic. Unsettling or sudden unforeseen events could spur a development that requires a fundamental reassessment of the situation. Right at the beginning of the month, on July 2, fiery Aries Mars squares bone-hard Capricorn Pluto. There is power-conscious and assertive action, sometimes with open violence. Mercury in lively Gemini squares Neptune in Pisces at this time, as well as trines Saturn in Aquarius. The quality of time could bring ambiguity and new hotbeds of conflict that need a lot of attention to keep them from escalating further. There are powerful forces at hand now, and some can accomplish almost superhuman things now.


Cancer

On July 5, Mars enters Taurus and Mercury enters Cancer. The tension of the last few days diminishes somewhat. The sensitive Cancer Sun squares Chiron in Aries on July 8, and Mercury is in tension with Jupiter on the 9th. Pain and hurt cannot be so easily suppressed now, risks must be reconsidered. The Capricorn Full Moon on July 13, in wide conjunction with Pluto, reveals that there will be no way back to the past. However, there is a large gap between desire and reality at this time, painfully noticeable especially on July 14, when the lighthearted Gemini Venus squares Neptune and unfounded hopes may vanish into thin air.


When Venus reaches sensitive Cancer on July 18, the quality of time changes significantly. The Sun is in trine to Neptune, Mercury opposes Pluto, the Moon makes a conjunction with Neptune, and Chiron becomes stationary retrograde a day later. It could be a moment of insight, when both the tragedy and the full potential of a situation can be recognized and felt. Then, when the Sun is in opposition to Pluto on July 20, someone exercises their authority.


Mars, Uranus and node

Things could happen in the last third of the month that will have a lasting impact on the rest of the year. On July 22, the Sun enters proud Leo. Mercury, which preceded it three days earlier, is in trine to Jupiter on July 23, heralding great things to come. Venus, which squares Jupiter on the 25th, also seems to be involved and is festively adorned. On July 26, Uranus and the Moon's Node are conjunct at 18° Taurus, Mercury squares Mars, which will also conjunct Uranus and the Moon's Node a few days later (August 1-2). Be prepared to be confronted with something totally unexpected during these days. Suddenly, something could happen that overturns all plans. It is worth noting that in this degree area in October, the square of Saturn and Uranus becomes almost exact for the last time. It is quite possible that the events of this time will again lead to social tensions and upheavals in the fall of the year.


The New Moon in Leo on the 28th is entirely under the impression of the events of the previous days. Some now feel self-confident, satisfied with what they have achieved and celebrate their success. But there will also be critical voices who already suspect that the price of this new development will be high. Then, when Mercury reaches the opposition to Saturn on July 31, the consequences will be more apparent.

THE CURRENT QUALITY OF TIME for June 2022

 

THE CURRENT QUALITY OF TIME for June 2022


Mercury

This month it is advisable to communicate sincerely and thoughtfully. Mercury turns direct on June 3 and makes a square to Saturn at the same time. Saturn, in turn, begins its long phase of retrograde one day later (until October 23). This is a good time to have serious conversations and finalize agreements. It may still take time to consider all eventualities, but with a realistic attitude, workable agreements are now possible even with difficult partners. On June 10, Mercury trines Pluto before entering Gemini on June 13. Then, an uncovered affair or a leaked secret could have consequences. Especially on June 12, when Venus conjoins Uranus in Taurus, this can cause serious upsets in relationships. Remain honest and sincere, and try to take any conflicts with your loved ones seriously. However, if you are open to new impulses in love, these days could be promising.


Mars and Chiron

June 14, there is a Full Moon in Sagittarius. It squares Neptune in Pisces, and a day later Mars conjoins Chiron in Aries. In this somewhat ambivalent quality of time, some aspire to accomplish great things. Success and failure are close together, and painful frustration is a distinct possibility. Some may resort to heroic myths to avoid possible feelings of shame, others stick to the motto "Do good and talk about it".


On June 16, the Sun squares Neptune and trines Saturn. Although there is a great deal of activity in many places, actual progress falls short of expectations. It often seems difficult to translate ideas into concrete action. Persistence is the key to success these days. With Venus square Saturn on June 18, some may want to secure success. However, the trine to Pluto on June 21 draws attention to the fact that first old debts must be settled and obligations honored. Only when Venus enters Gemini on June 23 will the quality of time become more lighthearted again.


Cancer

Also on June 21, the Sun enters the realm of emotional Cancer. Family issues, belonging and security are themes that will increasingly occupy us over the next few weeks, especially during the days of the June 29 New Moon. This New Moon is conjunct Lilith and square Jupiter. At the same time, a square of Mars and Pluto is building up, which is exact on July 2. It is therefore a tense time that could be followed by much turmoil. Someone may break unwritten rules of the game, causing great uncertainty. Practice serenity during these days. It is a good time to quietly turn your attention to the marginalized AND those close to you.

Alignment of Jupiter, Neptune in Pisces Hasn’t Occurred in 160 Years

 

Alignment of Jupiter, Neptune in Pisces

Neptune conjunction Jupiter, the activity period is from the beginning of April 2022 until the of beginning of February 2024 according to Astro.com

Jupiter and Neptune will be in conjunction in Pisces, which hasn’t happened in more than 160 years. What does this mean for humanity and the planet? And how should you greet this cosmic phenomenon? 

The following is an article from Gaia

The two planets will soon be in conjunction, where they appear to be close to each other when observed from Earth, and they will be in Pisces, something we have not seen since 1856.

Astrologer Mercedes Arnus Arraut explains what this means to us.

“Jupiter is the planet of news, knowledge, (and) media, and Neptune is the planet of spirituality, higher reals, higher dimensions, the ethereal — things that you cannot explain, the mystical,” Arraut said. “Something very interesting is that Pisces, the constellation where both Jupiter and Neptune unite, is the realm of both Jupiter and Neptune because before Neptune was discovered the Pisces constellation was ruled by Jupiter. So the fact that both these celestial bodies unite in both of their realms in Pisces, it’s very redundant energy where this mystical Pisces energy is going to be blooming all of our lives.”

This conjunction is in April, but we may be feeling the effects now.

“So the time this conjunction peaks is in the middle of April. This doesn’t mean we’re only going to feel it in April, because starting the Piscean month, which starts the 18th of February, we’re going to be having a boom of Pisces energy because the Sun is going to be walking towards this constellation — throughout this constellation — and both highlighting the energy of both Jupiter and Neptune in Pisces,” Arraut said.

“So starting the 18th of February, closer to this date, we’re going to be experiencing a big peak. And it’s not going to be until the end of April when we see this energy soothing a little bit more,” Arraut said. “But something very beautiful that the Piscean energy is bringing is healing. It’s understanding your wounds, understanding what hurts, or what has hurt you in the past, and finding a guide, a path toward healing toward understanding and having big compassion for you, for your evolution, for everyone around you, for those who hurt you. It’s feeling your heart with such a high vibration that you can experience love, second chances, second opportunities. It’s sort of like coming back to life, because you have a second chance at love, life, and work because you reach another state of consciousness, and that is the most beautiful way to put this energy. So, try to stay on the positive side of Pisces.” 

How do we stay on the positive side of Pisces and experience this healing power?

“This conjunction wants to make humanity aware that there’s a world under the sea, there’s a world of consciousness under the sea. Under the sea means also our inner waters, our inner emotions, and it’s a way of humanity seeing how waters are so important in our life. It’s going to be a very sensitive few months for sure. So the way to handle this is expressing, chanting, singing, connecting with the Pisces energy in a much more conscious, a lot more beautiful way, its higher state, because Pisces is the energy of the highest form of creativity, the highest and most beautiful state of love. So, there’s going to be a lot of love in the atmosphere if you vibe with that aspect or higher state of the Piscean energy,” Arraut said.    

As the planets move into conjunction Mercedes also recommends journaling your dreams every morning, getting out into nature, and tapping into your Piscean creative energy.

Do we have Free Will?

Free Will


I believe in 'Free Will', many people believe it also but some say that it's not true. They tell us that our lives are predetermined before we are born and so Free Will is not an option.

Of course it is not an option if you do not live in a free society where you have to live shackled to some evil dictatorship or ruler who dictates how you must live by their rules.

But if you live in a country or place that is free and allows you to make your own choices and gives you the chances and opportunities to live how you wish, then you have 'Free Will' to do as you please.

THE CURRENT QUALITY OF TIME for April 2022


THE CURRENT QUALITY OF TIME for April 2022


Saturn, Pluto, Jupiter

The war in Ukraine leaves no doubt: We are in a phase of profound social transformation. The Saturn-Pluto conjunction in January 2020 and the Saturn-Jupiter conjunction in December of the same year can be understood as the starting point. Both constellations point to fundamental shifts in power structures. While it was to be expected that this would not happen without major upheavals, the shock of a war in Europe with many civilian casualties is nevertheless great. We have to find our way in a new chapter of a story in which we are all entangled.


Aries, Chiron, Mercury

The Aries New Moon on April 1 is conjunct Mercury and Chiron. The deep wound that may now become visible also has to do with experiences far in the past. It is important to allow the grief and pain to be expressed, for acceptance of the hurt is a prerequisite for true healing. Many voices are now calling for peace to be made. However, Mars conjoins Saturn in Aquarius on April 5. Much ideological harshness, ignorance and delusion could become apparent. Where this tough facade of supposed superiority becomes brittle, powerlessness is revealed. Venus enters Pisces on the same day. She points to the path of uncompromising compassion.


Jupiter and Neptune 

Compassion is also indicated by the conjunction of Jupiter and Neptune, which becomes exact on April 12. This encounter is the conclusion and new beginning of a roughly 12-year cycle whose themes include hope, longing and faith, as well as illusions, delusions and listlessness. People with a spiritual practice could have extraordinary experiences during these days and experience a deep reconnection to divine presence. Beware, however, of projecting your personal spiritual experiences into the world. Indeed, as Mars also enters Pisces on April 15, a depressing experience of powerlessness and disillusionment could follow. Especially during the Libra Full Moon on April 16, as well as the following days, it will again be about asserting worldly power. Both the Full Moon and the Sun's entry into Taurus occur in square to Pluto in Capricorn. It is likely that during these days personal interests will be enforced firmly and without consideration.


Taurus

On April 30, a second New Moon takes place - this time in Taurus. It is in wide conjunction with Uranus and is joined by a solar eclipse (visible only in southern South America and Antarctica). Mercury enters Gemini, Venus is exactly conjunct Jupiter and close to Neptune. Pluto turns retrograde on the same day (until October 9). A conjunction of Jupiter and Venus - the major and minor fortunes - is considered one of the best astrological aspects ever for lovers. Eclipses are powerful energetic events that can openly reveal for a moment what lies in the dark. The simultaneity of an eclipse with a conjunction of Venus, Neptune and Jupiter is very rare. Therefore, it is difficult to say anything more precise about this quality of time. Surrender to life with confidence during these days, but observe what is happening with open eyes and don't forget to use your common sense. The only miracle to be taken seriously at this time could take place in the depths of your soul.

THE CURRENT QUALITY OF TIME for March 2022

 


THE CURRENT QUALITY OF TIME for March 2022

Capricorn, Aquarius, Pisces

The quality of time of this month is dynamic and complex, and it is hardly possible to capture and describe it conclusively. The events of this month may contain some key moments that may not be recognized as such until later. The main impulses come from three strong conjunctions in the zodiac signs of Capricorn, Aquarius and Pisces. Foundation stones are being laid now that will shape events throughout the year and beyond.


It begins with the Pisces New Moon on March 2, in conjunction with Jupiter (orb of 2 degrees). Saturn and Mercury are in exact conjunction in Aquarius at the same time, Mars and Venus form a conjunction with Pluto in Capricorn, exact March 3.


Pluto, Venus and Mars

It's a magical time, literally: with alert confidence and a clear mind, actions can now be taken that have a decidedly powerful effect. Be aware, however, that unconscious fears and entanglements will have as real an impact as love and respect. The Venus-Mars-Pluto conjunction at almost 28° Capricorn has great incendiary power, and since its shadow side indicates, among other things, great greed, this could also be a time of messy and dangerous disputes, especially where (perceived or real) privilege and existing power relationships are challenged. The conjunction also occurs on the Pluto of the US national chart (July 4, 1776, 17:10h, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Astrodatabank: USA No. 1). Political conflicts could reach another climax during this time, with consequences for the whole world community.

[EN: For more on this topic, see the article "Turning Point: The United States' Pluto Return" by Ray Grasse.]


Sun and Jupiter

The Sun conjoins Jupiter in Pisces on March 5, underscoring the importance of trust and confidence, especially in times of transformation. A day later, Venus and Mars, still in close conjunction, enter Aquarius together. They thus reach exactly the position of the Saturn-Jupiter conjunction of December 21, 2020, which can be understood as the beginning of the current turning point. It is about a gradual transformation of our materialistic world view towards more idealistic and spiritual values. During these days the topics of this change become tangible on a more personal level. On the one hand, it is about the tension between community interests and private demands, but also about how to deal with technological progress.


Aries

On March 10, Mercury enters Pisces. Three days later, the Sun reaches its conjunction with Neptune in Pisces. Some tend to lose themselves in dreams now, others experience a welcome deepening of their spiritual practice. This somewhat lucid quality of time will stay with us for a few days. However, with the Virgo Full Moon on March 18, the quality of time will again be characterized by more tangible impulses. Moreover, on March 20, the Sun enters Aries, and the astrological start of the year indicates a great desire for adventure. Venus and Mars in Aquarius are still close together, squaring Uranus (Venus on March 19, Mars on March 22). A great lust for life is palpable! Relationships with stable foundations can now experience a welcome revival, but new relationships are also favored at this time. Whether they deliver what they promise may become apparent a few days later, when Venus conjoins Saturn on March 28 and demands a more sober view of events.

Our Future.

 

Our Future.


Introduction

This one card spread should be used to focus on the way ahead. It will reveal the forthcoming events and influences for our future.


Reading done on the 1st July 2021.


Knight of Coins (Reversed)


Upright: Practical, sensuous, patient, methodical, progress. Sensible course, dependability, industriousness, hard work, conviction. Beneficial science, finding meaning, nature.


Reversed: Confusion, missing vision, instability, greed, indolence. Apathy, material preoccupation, inactivity, tiredness, necessary inner turning.


One Card: 

Focus on the card and try to let yourself become part of it. Look closely and try to imagine you are there inside the picture. Look at every detail and make a story out of all you see. This card will reveal any questions you want answered.




Personal Notes

All this instability around at the moment is starting to make everyone unsure of the future. There seems to be no good news coming from anyone or anywhere.


Conclusion

A very negative time is surrounding us all and nobody seems to have any positive answers. The people in power are all grabbing at straws, broken ones. Everybody seems to be making very bold statements but in reality they are just hiding behind words.

I was hoping for someone with an ounce of intelligence to come forward and show themselves but there is nobody. We have run out of leaders, a person with strength and integrity who can show us the way. Instead, everyone is just covering their own backsides in case they get severely kicked. The future is looking very bleak and this Knight has no answers, just questions.

It's time for someone to step forward and show themselves, a person for the people.

Ukraine - Russian invasion

 Day 2 of Russia's invasion of Ukraine

Russian civilians protesting in Russia yesterday. According to news reports over 1,000 protesters where arrested by Russian police for protesting PEACEFULLY!

Over 36 hours ago President Vladimir Putin gave his military forces, who had deployed over 200,000 troops along the Northern, Eastern and Southern boarders of the Ukraine, the order to attack and invade in what Putin called a "Special Mission."

Ukrainian military forces prepared themselves to defend their Country, their Peoples and their right to Freedom! 

Nobody, whoever or whatever they think or believe they are or have the right to, can take the FREEDOM AND CIVIL RIGHTS from another! But I am not talking about anybody here. This is Vladimir Putin, a man who has lost all sense of reality, normality, dignity and integrity. He now lives in his own world which he has made for himself, it is cold, dark and lonely and nobody can enter.

Below is a video of the BBC's Security reporter Frank Gardner giving his analysis.
