Between Pluto in its final few days before entering Aquarius on November 19 to more fully begin a 20-year era during which time we can expect revolutions on many fronts (and which will significantly transform humanity as a whole), Saturn in Pisces turns direct November 15 after 4.5 months in Pisces, and all under the Full Moon in Taurus on the 15th, which is exactly conjunct Uranus.

Altogether, this can be described as a ‘shaker combination’. However you define it, this shaking will prove awakening. These events can be regarded as precursors to a very pivotal next couple of years. The likelihood of the next major push towards digital identification and currency is high on the list of probabilities, whether we know, believe it, like it, or not.

Looking ahead to next year, by late March 2025, Neptune will enter pioneering and new beginnings Aries, followed by Saturn about a month later, then by early June, Jupiter will enter Cancer, then by mid-June it will form its last but most powerful square with Saturn in Aries, the seeds of which was the powerful conjunction at 0 Aquarius exactly on Winter Solstice in 2020.

Then Uranus will enter Gemini in early July hosting the final major count with the waxing Moon counting the seconds, metaphorically speaking, in context to the overall dynamic culminating on July 10.

Yes, we have indeed arrived at the next major turning point and it will again have global implications.

This is ever the case when any of the far planets enter new signs, and starting on November 19 and through to mid-summer 2025, ALL of them will, from Jupiter to Pluto. The synchronicities implied will be exciting, if somewhat upsetting, especially for those unaware of the implications or resistant to embracing the changes with cooperative adaptation. After all, as the saying goes, resistance is futile. However, this is not to say that we can’t contribute to steering the direction and to even influencing the outcome. In any case, the key is to engage the momentum and not to oppose it. Usually, our influence is strongest in our own personal life and sphere.

What we can expect is rapid change, at least it will seem that way. The deeper truth is that whatever changes are destined to occur in the coming days, weeks, and months, the foundation of them is already there and has been building over the past years, even decades, and centuries in the really deep perspective. In this regard, it is helpful to be humble and not to assume a defiant posture just because the dynamic is upsetting to our comfort zone. Of course, the closer reality could indeed be upsetting and difficult, so generalizations do not always apply. The simple fact is that humanity as a whole has arrived at a major new beginning, which could be described as critical in some regards. It can generally be described as the birthing process of the merging global village. 

The specific implications of this are not easily described and it will take time for many to adjust and we should not expect that everyone to be enthusiastic about it, largely in accordance with the degree to which it threatens their grip on power. Of course, this has always been the case throughout history. Yet, however else it might be interpreted, history is not simply written by the victors, it is a richly layered and complex story of constant change on every front and in every way.

Bringing the focus back to this moment, the fact that the November 15th  Full Moon in Taurus is exactly conjunct Uranus is noteworthy. We should expect some sudden bursts of eventful activities both in our personal lives, but more especially on the world stage. These should seem to come about suddenly and unexpectedly starting about now and this weekend. Negatively, these will manifest as various modes of rude awakening, or of disintegration of realities categorized as traditional or the accepted norm. Positively, these events could come with some degree of spiritual awakening, inspiration, and upliftment. As ever, it depends on one’s circumstances, overall posture, and attitude. So, set your intention to be aware and to recognize the synchronicities for what they are.

How are current astrological aspects impacting you?

Learn here about the many areas of your life that Astrology can help you better understand and to navigate, to be more in-tune and aware of your personal cycles of destiny.

Many meaningful things are always occurring but we often only really notice when we are focused on doing so, as the nature of our respective, biased, limited selective perceptions. This is true for everyone, so nothing personal. Realizing that you or I or anyone else “do NOT see reality as it is” is the key to being able to more fully see it, ironically. As it is, many live in Plato’s cave, as it were, assuming that the shadows cast on the wall of our projected awareness and expectations constitute reality. The very reality of the interplay of light and human sight should be enough to understand this fact.

This article will serve to establish the basic point. 

The same can be said of sound. There are many frequencies of sound that we humans cannot hear. Animals often have much better hearing than humans, yet the scope and spectrum of sound waves also far surpasses even the most able listeners by our brethren in the animal kingdom as this article serves to illustrate. That it is sound which is responsible for the very ordering of the atomic structure of all life and things in the manifest universe is an ancient ‘knowing’ that has yet to be fully appreciated. Even the notion of a Big Bang reveals a metaphorical reference to it, if crude and primitive in terms of its appreciation of the intelligence woven within life. After all, taking for granted that organized and intelligent shape and design within the form of anything, from a molecule to a star, is its own form of colossal assumption. Why a circle, why intricate design, why LAWS?

Beyond the relativity of our so-called assertion of ‘the facts’, where this understanding really gets exciting is when we consider that we are multi-dimensional beings living in a multi-dimensional universe. As is true of radio waves, television channels and other technological realities associated with, bandwidth yet from a more ‘organic’ perspective regarding what can be understood as the ‘natural world’ the other dimensions of ‘reality’ are not elsewhere in the universe, they are here and now, yet shifts of vibrational frequency away. 

This understanding is foundational to spiritual science. What we generally refer to as ‘science’ is material science and it should be acknowledged as such. To the extent which the term ‘science’ is solely given to the material world and to empirical perception is a good example of the realities of bias and assumption associated with what has been explained above. As relevant and significant as material science is, it is erroneous to regard it as science with the notion that there are not other kinds of science. Thinking it is so is simply an indication of social conditioning and is actually a form of belief. In this regard, it should be clear how much belief can blind us to other perspectives, possibilities, and realities. Spiritual science and metaphysics are also branches of science in the fuller sense of the word and they include Astrology. It and other less strictly empirical sciences are commonly referred to as ‘pseudoscience’ by those anchored in materialism, thus also revealing hubris and intellectual limitation, ironically. Often, people assert their conviction in material science to appear intelligent, but in doing so they simply reveal a biased and limited attitude to anyone who ‘sees’ beyond such usurpations of terms and their subsequent limitation and expanded scope of assumption. 

The glyph for Aquarius is depicted as two wavy lines, one directly above the other. Often erroneously interpreted as water waves alone, associated with the more descriptive title of the Water Bearer. However, this is not the case. The two waves are symbolic of energy, vibration, and frequency. Further, they are also symbolic of duality itself, which from a higher, spiritual perspective is the very result of the deeper realities of energy, vibration, and frequency at multiple levels, and also of the deeper realities and implications of motion. In other words, everything in the universe from the microcosm to the macrocosm is moving very fast indeed. This principle of velocity at every dimensional level is an important feature of the entire equation. For example, what you will learn from this astronomical fact is that Earth’s orbital speed averages 29.78 km/second, which equates to 107,208 km/hour. Compare this to the highest velocity rifle bullet which 1422 meters per second, which means that Earth orbits the Sun about 20 times faster than the fastest bullet! This is an example of relativity and paradox combined, both of which are other terms that can be associated with Aquarius.
