Annular Solar Eclipse
Sun/Moon square Uranus/Sedna
Everything is changing. But into what, and how?
That’s where we come in.
I’m just gonna cut to the chase and make this very simple.
We are at the end of a 6000 year cycle. Saturn and Neptune conjoin on the 20th at the beginning degrees of Aries that they have not conjoined at since 4361 BCE. That’s no small potatoes. Some people will say that’s the length of the patriarchy. It was actually a little bit longer, but it works for astrological purposes.
About 6000 years ago we began forming the ancient city states of Egypt and Sumer. The Sun God considered itself more powerful and important than the Moon Goddess. Enter the control, domination, and subjugation of the Earth and its inhabitants. Now, here we are.

We’ve had a good run with the patriarchy. There have been some amazing things. Agricultural and technological advances, systems of government and economy, codified astrology, and toilet paper have all happened in the last 6000 years. There have been a lot of other wonderful things, too!
But with everything going on in the world, there is a growing consensus that words like domination, control, war, violence, oppression, injustice, corruption, and others like them, are not preferred ways of being. Those things just don’t work well anymore. Maybe for a while, we liked being sheep. But we’re more intelligent now. We are able to govern ourselves without those who have quested for power in the last 6000 years. Violence doesn’t work anymore. It never really “worked” anyway.
In light of this, what is so exciting about this upcoming eclipse and the Saturn/Neptune conjunction three days after is that they both reflect suggestions which remind us that we are capable of new ways of governance. The current systems are no longer effective. It’s time for a change.
But into what, and how?
Again, that’s where we come in!
We are imagining the answers right now, but the answers are there. The first step is understanding what the answers are NOT. See the above paragraph with the word violence in it! The next step is to effectively engage the current ‘structures that be’ and work diligently to change them without becoming that which we are trying to change. After that rocky, messy, and possibly quite confusing period, we simply implement everything we already know.
Suppressed free energy is released. There’s most of the change. We reimagine agriculture. I’ve been doing that for 30 years. Minneapolis could feed Minneapolis from food grown inside its city limits. All it takes is imagination and ingenuity, roof top and vertical farming, and the reduction of the ‘great american lawn’. We imagine healthy social structures and what ownership means. We retool agriculture from corn-centric to hemp-centric. We have philosophical discussions, real ones, about each and every topic currently up for…evolution. Actually, all it takes is a shift of policy, having that written on a piece of paper, and it being signed by individuals who are in charge of setting policy.
There, we just changed the world in a three minute read. I know there are already plenty of solutions available! We will either choose them, or be forced to choose them. But we will survive. We just need to use our noggins. We just need to access our genius. We simply need to stay flexible and curious as one 6000 year cycle ends. The magic is that we are also at the beginning of the next 6000 years. How beautiful can we imagine it? The change is up to us. Make the appropriate changes within, first, and it will be easier to change the world. Trust the cycles of Nature, and all will be well.
