The ongoing and even intensifying alignments in the Pisces-Aries zone – Ceres * Venus * Saturn * North Node * Neptune * Mercury * Chiron * Eris - certainly provide a remarkable framework for understanding the confusion and turmoil that so many around the world are feeling. I have not been exempt from this!
Consequently, I have here not developed an in-depth single theme, but instead offer some shorter laser beams.
The Fate and Destiny of The United States
I am keeping my attention on April 30. That day, Jupiter makes its final pass over natal US Mars at 21Gemini22. This configuration started October 20, 2024, with Jupiter stationary retrograde at 21Gemini20, and concludes in a near triple conjunction pattern. Over the last three years I have published numerous articles and videos about current transits to the US natal chart, always placing much attention on this natal Mars in Gemini square Neptune pattern. Among other things, it strongly indicates built-in tendencies towards duopoly, bifurcation, and an addiction to the two-party paradigm. There is great confusion and deception about this. Is it possible for the United States to see beyond it?
On the same day, at 9:58am PDT, a wildly out-of-bounds Moon conjoins Jupiter at 21Gemini18. Just 18 minutes later, morning star Venus enters Aries. In addition, all planets are direct until May 4.
Not to be overlooked is that the fifth Chiron return as well as the first Pluto return of the United States are still ongoing, while the US Uranus return is just ahead in 2027 or sooner.
On May 2, Neptune enters an almost two-year alignment with the 2Aries07 United States IC. And soon following, on June 11, begins a nine-month cycle of Saturn to the United States IC. On June 9, the United States begins its 20th Jupiter return.
The fate and destiny of the United States is at hand. Next month’s Ramblings will once again be a deep dive into these cycles and alignments.
Chiron Joins Eris
From May 2025 - February 2027 Chiron is within one degree of Eris, the first exact conjunction occurring May 26 at 25Aries28, on the same day as the out-of-bounds Gemini New Moon. This rare alignment last happened in 1971-1972. Many events from that time are instructive in helping us understand the happenings of 2025-2026, especially when it comes to the financial reset and the various schemes of the World Economic Forum which was formed in 1971. This conjunction can be related to my recent Ramblings article Out Of Chaos Comes Order, but by what means?, an inquiry into natural and necessary chaos vs. intentional chaos. On April 30, Chiron will be at 24Aries03 and slow-moving Eris at 25Aries12.
The Control Grid Simulacrum: Inversion of Planetary Initiation
With reference to my various articles about technocracy, technosis and AI,
the recent ingress of Neptune into Aries, after 14 years in Pisces, motivated my deep dive into Neptune in last month’s Ramblings
as well as our recent Highlight Seminar of which for a limited time you can still get the recording at half price!
Upon continued reflection, I feel even more strongly that the natural and spiritual meaning and purpose of Neptune has been hijacked. The “cloud” is a fake Neptune, a simulacrum and simulation of the real thing. With AI, the Metaverse, and with Elon Musk wanting to trademark “telepathy” and “telekinesis”, a materialistic version of spirituality will be marketed pervasively. I suspect even a fake version of the Akashic Records to be introduced! The satellite grid and the ionization of the atmosphere make it possible to create this deepest descent into materialism, to be expected at the end of Kali Yuga.
Fortunately, with strong spiritual will and a commitment to remain fully human, Neptune’s inherent Grace, Mercy and Divine Providence from the Celestial Upper World and the Sacred remains an eternal reality.
Something the TOTAMS Team and I are working on is how signs and planets have elements of being hijacked and inverted. We have already explored this deeply with Saturn. Also, for example, we profoundly question the Greek imagery of Pluto, Saturn and Neptune. The latter Greeks, within the Zeus cults, allocated the three worlds to the three brothers (Zeus, Poseidon and Hades)! Contrary to that, I perceive Pluto as an Underworld feminine essence of Kali, Shakti, Durga, Hecate, Ereshkigal etc. Neptune feels to be a celestial, trans-personal, Sophianic and Kwan Yin like essence. Ongoing is the project of evolving the signs, or Mystery Schools of Life as we call them, beyond the hijack of the patriarchy and the “traditional” meanings of the last millennia.
It is on this topic I will be offering a live workshop at the Tucson Astrologers Guild on May 10. Find details here.
On Making Plans
I was born under a Capricorn Moon with South Node in the second house. All my life I have loved making plans and really love creating itineraries. However, quite often these plans do not manifest! I have had to learn not to be attached to whether what was planned happens or not. Some years ago though, I realized that every time something falls through, I get yet another chance to create a different itinerary. I do now love that!
The confusing and elusive aspects spoken of at the beginning of this article are particularly challenging to middle-world planners! I must say that I am currently getting a multitude of opportunities to surrender attachment, re-route, and happily make different plans!
“The End of the World is just the Beginning”
There is a book with this title that I have not read yet. But I really love this phrase! The book’s full title is “The End of the World is Just the Beginning: Mapping the Collapse of Globalization and its Aftermath” by Peter Zelhan. It is so evocative of the events after the end of Kali Yuga, and after a Fourth Turning, and at the end of an astrological age. The Beginning of what?
My own research asserts that 1962-2034 is the timeframe of the Great Turning of The Ages, the end and beginning of a 26,000-year precessional cycle. The work of Bibhu Dev Misra shows that the Kali Yuga ended March 20, 2025. His work fits together the entire Yuga cycle in near precise synchronization with the precessional cycle. We discussed this in my recent interview with Bibhu which by now has received over 10,000 views.
When people hear it’s the end of Kali Yuga or they have heard that we’re now in the Age of Aquarius, they often immediately assume that we have entered the “Golden Age”. Or they engage in a massive over-glamorizing of what they imagine the Age of Aquarius to be. Personally, I think that is nothing but hopium, spiritual bypassing, and the hijack of the New Age movement, now astutely renamed the “New Cage Movement” by our TOTAMS Team & Media Maven Naraya.
It is clear from Bibhu’s research, my own understanding of the astrological ages, and when looking at previous Fourth Turnings, that before settling into the features of a new Yuga or Age, chaos ensues! A Fourth Turning is always a societal reset of some sort, happening every four generations. Astrological Ages are resets occurring every 2100 years. The Kali Yuga began in 3676 BCE and lasted 5700 years. An entire Yuga cycle is 25,820 years long, virtually the same as the commonly accepted duration of 25,920 years for the cycle of Precession.
Back in the 1980s, when first using the expression “Turning of The Ages”, what I felt was that the times we are in are not just one astrological age or just one astrological season, but the End and Beginning of the entire cycle. Bibhu’s research, as well as an honest look at Earth’s predicament confirms my previous intuition.
Bibhu’s Yuga research reveals a 1200 year period, called Ekpyrosis or Conflagration, that follows the end of Kali Yuga. That period is what is starting now. The deep descent into materialism that always occurs in a Kali Yuga will inevitably need to be composted. The Christian Bible says: “The Fire Next Time”. Could that fire actually be the plasma now streaming forth from the Aquarian / Water Bearers water jar, as well as from the Sun? A sentient, evolving plasma-being with surely a crucial part to play in this transformation.
Now more than ever, all forms of surrender are necessary. Build, value and protect your sovereignty as a pure human being, and do not comply or consent to anything that compromises it. There are many things worse than death! TOTAMS specializes in assisting you in finding your life purpose. If you follow that purpose and are aligned with your Dharma, it really doesn’t matter what happens next in the individual or global story, because you know who you are and what part to play on the Great Mandalic Wheel of Life.
“When you don't follow your nature (Dharma) there is a hole in the universe where you were supposed to be.” - Dane Rudhyar
Nicely written Daniel.
So, your saying that the Kali Yuga and the Precession overlay each other (coincide at the same time)?
Since were talking about a vast, nebulous thing, how is the beginning and ending date of the Kali Yuga determined?
