1. Recently I’ve received encouragement from others, regarding my decade-long practice of astrology. Today, I’m deciding to bring something a little different to this space.
Astrology has become blue pill, much like other once-great institutions. I want to change that...

2. I'll talk more about personal readings later--I hope to offer them after the Spring Equinox (March 19).
I want to focus on the *macro* energy affecting us as a collective right now....

3. The quality of energy affecting us all right now is harsh, cold and definitive. There is an air of finality hanging around various life areas.
But 2020 marks the Beginning of the End of this vibe.

4. @TYGRproductions put out a funny&poignant tweet regarding this transition. No astro knowledge required. Here it is:
5. Why is this tweet relevant? 1st, consider that since Dec 2017, we’ve had a build-up of planets in Capricorn. Cap is patriarchal energy symbolized by the lonely mountain goat climbing an icy mountain. It's the energy of a CEO in his penthouse. It rules societal norms...
6. In Dec 2017, old man Saturn entered Capricorn, which is his home. This intensified the Daddy Issues so neurotically expressed by our culture. Pluto had moved into this sign back in 2008, heralded by the Great Recession…
7. Saturn in Cap is Unbreakable Father energy. Pluto here is constantly testing and regenerating the high value we place on Father Figures. (Pluto is generally phoenix/ashes energy).
These two planets met on Jan 12. Society has been getting rocked by contentious debate...

8. Here’s a visualization of Saturn-Pluto meeting in Capricorn: Mercedes (high masculine value) getting encased in a cube of resin (it’s indestructible now…or its DNA can be carried far into the future, Jurassic Park-style):
9. Thus, it’s no surprise that we’ve seen an intensification of trad memes and memes around patriarchy or the meaning of family. Some recent tweets by @tannerguzy and @AJA_Cortes come to mind.
Also, we’re seeing accounts that are like self parodies: “XTREME ALFA BRO!!!"

10. People are hungry for meaning because the old order [Capricorn] is getting stress-tested. That’s a big reason for the debate between PUAs and patriarchs: is the old marriage/family model completely dead, stronger than ever or is it getting updated for the information age?...
11. Meanwhile, the Moon’s North Node is transiting Cancer, the sign opposite of Capricorn. The North Node points the way forward on a karmic level. To get supportive energy in your life, it’s recommend you pursue Cancer activities until May: family, security, food & mood...
12. Sounds pretty feminine, huh? But wait…
This is Cancer energy:
This is Cancer energy:
13. The Cancer North Node tells us that a healthy society will still rest on the pillars of the Nuclear Family (male-female parents with biological heirs). However, the Red Pill is going to ensure that this model is done right going forward, with a solid Capricorn foundation...
14. Ah, but what is the Red Pill and who defines it?
Now you can begin to see why and how this debate is raging so hard. For example, consider the varied reactions to someone like @patstedman or even @beachmuscles or @rooshv ...

15. There’s also the problem of nostalgia in this mix. In 2011, Neptune moved into Pisces. This is Neptune’s home sign, so influence is especially strong. All these nostalgic re-boots of movies, etc. are due to this influence. It’s also behind the meme “This is what we’ve lost"..
16. Neptune rules movies, illusion, deception, two-faced people...but also poetry, divinity and religious experience. It’s churning up a lot of confusion in the Red Pill/Capricorn debate, because it draws in Christianity...
17. At any rate, we’re getting a HUGE pile-up of planets in Cap. Jupiter moved there in Dec. It’s like a meeting of tribal elders, deciding which way society will go. Many power plays are happening in the background. Those who fall out of favor will likely do so permanently...
18. What’s happening in 2020, tho, is a sneak preview of what’s next—of what society (or the ‘sphere) will look like once the winners and losers are separated. The judgment will be rendered largely along ethical lines—shady people will fade into the background or “die"...
19. This will create a “bohemian” vibe that starkly contrasts with today’s harsh vibe: Things will be *relatively* more chill. Highly-evolved information will be exchanged in an atmosphere of cautious optimism...
20. We’ll get a sneak preview of this bohemian vibe *after* Mars joins the Capricorn pile-up around the Spring Equinox. Just after that, Mars and Saturn will move into Aquarius—the sign of tribes, online groups, quirky inventors, decentralized networks, etc...
21. It won’t be kumbaya peaceful, but boundaries will be drawn and we’ll likely start to see *some* clarity on a mass level: what does your tribe stand for, what are its values, etc. Expect to see a lot of group mission statements out there…
22. The battle of the sexes will get personalized for all of us this summer. That's for another thread. Anyways, this spring, you'll notice more people *trying* to be reasonable. But there will be a lot of schisms & breakdowns. Think multiplicities. That's all prep for 2021...
23. Sigmas and “go-betweens” will be highly-valued men in this new era—they will interlink tribes, because they are inherently “tribe-less”. Someone like @mcclay_roman springs to mind...
24. At any rate, post-2020, we will see less and less of the T1000 versus T2 vibe, which is what we have now:
25. Again, I hope to offer *affordable* readings after March 19. I'll take a masculine approach: problems will be solved according to a timeline w/ actionable tactics. Think: direction, destiny & karma. The door will be open to female clients. More soon. Thanks for reading.
