Generation Change -the Youth Now Ready to be Heard

A generation now finding its voice can arguably be labelled Generation Change: they were born with change and idealism in their DNA and they will not remain unheard

New Yorker on the #NeverAgain movement

• The astrological DNA gifted to those born from mid January 1996 to late December 2003 involves the pairing of Uranus and Neptune in Aquarius.
• Aquarius is the zodiac energy most associated with social justice
• Uranus is the planetary force operating at its strongest when transiting Aquarius
• Neptune is the compassionate force and is very compatible with the collective consciousness that is highly valued by Uranus and Aquarius.
• Jupiter the planet related to beliefs and philosophy was in Aquarius in 1997 adding further strength to egalitarian principles

In America under the banners of #NeverAgain and #ParklandStudentsSpeak #StudentsStandUp these young people -the oldest reaching age 22 in 2018, the youngest, 14 - are ready for social change, ready to speak, ready to protest. The spark for their arising has been yet another instance of mass shooting in a school - the latest in a chronic and shameful timeline of slaughter in US educational environments.

The February 2018 Solar Eclipse was an activator of this strong Aquarian uprising.

The mass killing at a Parkland high school in Florida occurred on the day before the eclipse in the building phase of the energies, a time frame known for strong outcomes.

The Sun and Moon were conjoined with Mercury -all in Aquarius at the eclipse.

Saturn and Pluto were in the accountability sign -Capricorn

Venus and Neptune were in Pisces -spreading compassion and idealism 

Mars in Sagittarius energises people's beliefs - to take action over what you believe

Jupiter in Scorpio not only expresses as the mass death event but also as the capacity for mass empowerment -thereby being a perfect time to combine all of the above planetary forces to speak out about Change.

Uranus in February 2018 was at 25 Aries -a combination promoting energetic change - linking in to the Sun-Moon-Mercury positions at the eclipse - sitting in the range 24-27 degrees of Aquarius

Jupiter in 2018 is especially activating people of this group who were born May 2000-May 2001

Eclipses have a typical period of effective activation over a 6 month period -until the next solar eclipse in this case. For this reason events around the time of an eclipse - days of approach and days after exactitude - are definitely signifiers of globally significant issues.

In America the issue is continual mass slaughter due to easy access to weaponry during a high risk era of declining quality of mental health.

In other countries this Generation Change will have other issues that will bind them in collective agitation to challenge the status quo. America is in crisis and the whole world is watching and the ripples of activism will spread. The internet is an Aquarian/Uranian technology, with connecting communicating and sharing visions of social justice at the very core.

The good news does not end with Generation Change.

• Beginning in 2003 a Pisces-Aquarius blend of Uranus and Neptune starts to be strengthened and is fully in place as 2004 begins. 
• This pairing of planets is strong due to being in mutual reception [each is transiting the sign related to the other planet -Uranus in Pisces, Neptune in Aquarius] 
• This powerful pairing promises further young minds coming into life stamped with an intention of achieving social justice, empathy and compassion - because we're all in this together - and is set to deliver a huge cohort of inspirational humanitarians as most people born up until early March 2011 have these very redeeming qualities.
•  [ Due to a retrograde phase in its orbit, Uranus began its departure from Pisces from May 29-Aug 14 2010, then went back into Pisces before fully entering Aries on March 13 2011]

The carnage at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School Fort Lauderdale Florida reflects the prevailing forces which activated potentials evident on the day Nikolas Cruz was born - September 24 1998

By 2018 both of Cruz's adoptive parents were dead -his father in 2004, his mother recently - November 2017. The family dynamics are not known.

After that recent loss, prevailing energies began to accumulate which placed Cruz under extreme psychological pressure.

Astrological Factors

• As 2017 came to a close Jupiter in Scorpio reached 16 degrees - arousing an instinctual craving for huge [Jupiter] empowerment [Scorpio] 16 degrees  began to activate an array of entangled energies present on Cruz's birthday by firstly engaging his: Sun, lunar nodes, Saturn [all at 1-2 degrees] and his Chiron by close conjunction. With Scorpio the context of power is commonly aligned with an annihilation instinct.
• As New Year 2018 began, Saturn reached 1 degree Capricorn - presenting significant "now it is time for you to grow up", "you're alone now" messages. He was disconnected from his birth parents and now totally from his adoptive parents. Cruz was born when the Sun was at 1 degree Libra so Saturn's effect was destabilising. How Cruz interpreted these kinds of thoughts is explained by the role played by Neptune [exact alignment with Mercury] Cruz had strong capacity for living life through fantasy delusion, imagination, unmodified by reality.
• Jupiter in Scorpio being a strong general indicator of mass death events as well as mass empowerment [#MeToo movement] during this cycle [Oct 2017-Nov2018] is highly significant in this context as it progressed from 17 degrees at New Year [activating Cruz's 17 degree Chiron [key vulnerability] in Scorpio [deeply wounded throughout his life to date by a sense of disempowerment] By end of January strengthened by the total lunar eclipse [an amplifying force] Jupiter at 21 Scorpio now activated Cruz's Venus at 21 Virgo, Mars at 21 Leo, Jupiter at 22 Pisces setting off the inherent forces he possessed to take action [Mars] in a very dramatic way [Leo] in a large [Jupiter] social [Venus] context.
• Pluto in Sagittarius at his birthday has options including a transformational philosophy or a belief in annihilation. Positioned at 6 degrees this signal was embedded at birth for Cruz: Pluto was entangled with the tight grouping of Venus, Mars and Jupiter [6 degrees and 21 degrees resonate using 24th harmonic analysis]
• Pluto in transit from New Year 2018 covered less than 2 degrees of movement -from almost 19 degrees to just over 20 degrees by February 14. With Jupiter at 22 degrees by that date the middle point of 21 was being activated from 2 sides, a combining of two of the most potent cosmic forces in slow transit acting on birth Pluto, Venus, Mars, Jupiter. This amount of pressure was not containable within someone so damaged.

The birth data below provides prevailing energies evident on the date of Cruz's birth. This alone is used in the above analysis and though some aspects are inaccessible due to no time or location data, the birthday information often spells out the standout features of a personality.

Though born under a Libran sun - more known for peace- all sign energies belong to a quartet and can flow between the personality aspects of their grouping -especially the opposing sign. Belonging to Libra Aries Cancer Capricorn with Aries opposite Libra allowed Cruz to project himself strongly towards the aggressive Aries-Mars option especially with the intense and attention-seeking Mars in Leo he possesses.

This analysis is an explanation. Not a defence. When powerful forces combine and collide in nature as in humans some degree of destruction is the likely outcome. Humans though have the opportunity to at some point develop regulating mechanisms.

It is easily detectable using methodology such as this to identify the regularity of certain people being born under such destructive prevailing forces and it is only a matter of time before activating forces in transit cause birth potentials to escape the confines of the mind and be expressed outwardly - a combination of activators is typically involved in high profile events.

Without a self managing capacity a human being is capable of the force of a hurricane because we equally derive our energy from the same galactic environment.

Fortunately most of us are blessed to have access to those forces which can deliver more goodness than harm.

Cruz's reported birthdate 24 September 1998

Updates

February 22 2018

On February 17 students organised a response to the massacre at their Stoneman Douglas School, Fort Lauderdale. Fronted by Emma Gonzales [18],  this was a sign of a new movement #NeverAgain and the intention to march in protest [March 24 March for Our Lives]

High profile Americans including Oprah, the Clooneys, Steven Spielberg have immediately contributed to the funding of this new movement.

Analysis: the potent February 2018 solar eclipse

The February solar eclipse at the 

mid month New Moon carries a very interconnected complex of energies – signifying on one level extra powerful forces expressing through the natural elements and atmosphere

 then symbolically related effects in the diverse spheres of human activity.

Strong to severe environmental outcomes are expected in the form of weather and events which impact not only physical aspects such as landforms and surfaces but also built structures – all with consequences for people.

 and potent storms

 - scroll to end

In the domains of human activity a continuation of material/financial impacts is expected as this eclipse shows strong capacity to wipe out money/assets. With uncertainty impacting world markets since the February 5 losses - under the effect of a sequence of planetary influences [Jupiter, Uranus, Saturn all interacting with Venus in the first half of February - and now showing outcomes] more pressure is being applied during the timeframe of this eclipse suggesting it is highly likely that a longer period of adverse indicators is now underway..not a simple quick correction.

Everything possible is on board this eclipse pattern: the sun and moon in conjunction are the tail end of a locomotive driven by Pluto, assisted by Jupiter, Uranus, Mercury, Chiron all in the range from 20-27 degrees – a “train” of energies always indicating multiple combined forces resulting in high potency.

The powerful chain reaction capacity of such a string is assisted further by  Mars, Neptune and the lunar nodes in the range 12-15 degrees. As described many times in prior posts, the 27-12 combination of energies, especially strengthened when in an eclipse grouping, promises highly significant events in human and natural activities.

The potential for immense destructive power in vulnerable locations and conditions indicates that where strong weather is clearly building that necessary protective actions are appropriate such as evacuation, flood protection. 

Highly energised conditions in some locations: wind and water, with underlying heat are elemental factors indicated strongly for locations where environmental impacts from these are relevant. Significant snow as a frozen form of water applies in locations where this is relevant. 

Structural collapse has been a theme since the start of 2018 and remains strongly in effect due to sustained reactivating factors. Outcomes include further examples of landslips, avalanches, bridge, road or building collapses –whether as a result of extra strong weather elements or due to the deformation of land from tectonic plate movement. Ingress of sea water as a destructive force continues to be a destructive element in coastal locations when combined with abnormally strong weather elements and with seafloor earthquake events – all of which are potentials elevated within the global environment in vulnerable locations during the 6 month effective period of the February 2018 solar eclipse.

Even looking at March 2018 -very similar themes persist at the mid-month New Moon though the energies aren't quite as completely entangled as at the mid February eclipse.
In March:

• The 27-12 pattern remains in place: Sun+Moon at 27, Neptune-Venus-Mercury combining in the 11-14 range = major indicator of severe weather 
• Saturn with Venus in the approach days -week starting March 12
• Saturn in a very tight 23-8 pattern with Jupiter 
• Mars energising the lunar nodes in a 29-14 pattern
• Water continues to be the key element causing structural damage on micro to macro scales. Vulnerability to this natural force is extra high in the March to April lunar period

In combination a re-affirmation of the prevailing dramatic and energised forces impacting not only weather/external environments but also areas of human activity with the clear message of reining in excesses tightening the belt not only with all aspects of consumption - food, drink, purchases as well as general money management.

Vulnerabilities Exposed

Impacts upon people include loss of assets/financial loss due to adverse weather/environmental forces but also in other contexts due to the generalised effect of Saturn-Venus diminishing material, financial gains. The stockmarket / sharemarket conditions deteriorating are part of the picture.

Structural collapse also applies to non-physical structures -conceptual entities or heirarchies such as companies or networks. 

Anything with a structure has to identify vulnerabilities under prevailing influences as the current pressures are set to expose weaknesses.

As at Feb 12 news continues regarding the losses impacting normally high performing construction giant Fletchers in New Zealand.

The overall situation in every context from the personal to the commercial to the political is one recommending restraint, conserving, caution in regard to spending, investing, future planning regarding assets/income. Everything has a season. Current conditions in the time frames indicated represent an Autumn or Fall preparing for a Winter.

Environmental and changing financial conditions both have the potential to deliver material/monetary losses during this first half of 2018 under forecastable influences.

Lifestyles, relationships are also examples of structures vulnerable to weakness - and in some contexts the Venus energy [Venus-Saturn-Pluto] will express as relationship loss. Powerful changes are evident in the way people are relating, gender issues very high profile under the #MeToo and #TimesUp movements so expect more disclosures, more women speaking out, more abusers identified. People also choosing to end relationships for positive reasons –to reclaim personal empowerment – but also people ending relationships by means of abuse of power – violent and homicidal energy is high risk.

Others will experience loss due to “acts of God” – where people are taken in accidents, environmental or weather events. 

At the time of writing [ as the eclipse energies gather strength ] on Feb 11 a regional passenger plane has crashed near Moscow killing all on board – this type of collective death and mass mourning is higher-than-normal risk under prevailing forces.

A strengthening tropical cyclone having passed through Samoa

heading for the Tongan & Fiji Islands on Feb 12 expected to reach maximum category 5 strength has the potential to cause at least severe structural and environmental damage in addition to loss of life. 

As in all experiences the range of impacts from person to person varies from direct to indirect and therefore from maximum to minimum – each person’s vulnerability is highly personalised due to their own match with prevailing forces and the degree to which those forces pose the related challenges identified. Most people will experience the effects through reading or watching the news.

Whether it is contextualised as destiny or karma there is a process in play that customises the path of growth for each of us. Knowing more clearly what your growth-path is gives an insight into the likely tests and challenges that will arise. Analysis of the astrological indicators at birth by an experienced practitioner is the most comprehensive personalised method for identifying the strengths a person can develop as well as the impediments needing to be overcome

This being another example of the tidal wave of exposure occurring after #MeToo & #TimesUp revelations in the US - all consistent with prevailing energies which show a sustained massive power shift is underway [Pluto, Saturn in Capricorn, Uranus in Aries] as referenced in the January eclipse report -both eclipses in effect for 6 months.

February 2018 stock market plunge

Opinions on the US stock market plunge which began Feb 5 are variable - including computer-programed trading, concerns about a coming rise in inflation and interest rates and maybe even the Federal Reserve sell-off of assets.
The Guardian calls it a "mood swing" and even a "fat finger" mistake..as well as...
It is puzzling to analysts that the money coming out of the markets is not necessarily going into government treasuries or other safe havens. That suggests investors are also simply taking out profit after an intense market rally at the beginning of this year.

Curiouser and curiouser is the situation with analysts proposing a handful of reasons and no one really sure which led the charge.

Here's another take on it:

The amount of Chinese money fuelling the global economy has to be factored in.
Chinese are strong believers in predictions regarding the good luck/bad luck cycles.
On February 4 2018 the start of Spring occurred in China.
This denotes the new annual cycle
2018 is the Year of the Dog.
2018 in the cycle of elements is an Earth year
Dog is an Earth element energy.
This makes 2018 a "double earth" year.
Double always indicates some kind of double trouble - some people and some aspects of life have a tougher year than usual.

The earth element is associated the planet Saturn which also indicates positive and negative outcomes.

Stock markets and economies are seen by the Chinese to have an energy like water, the undulating waves.
The earth element is regarded as a negative for the stock market and in economic matters.
Double earth means significant difficulty.

Strong earth energy sucks up water in this battle of the elements..meaning less liquidity, drying up [also drought]
So 2018 under Chinese astrological indicators for economic matters has an energy of conserving, saving, fiscal restraint - not rampant spending, not risk-taking. [ this is consistent with the indicators in Western astrology under Saturn and Pluto in Capricorn and Uranus in Taurus.

Did Chinese New Year panic play a role?

2018 is also forecast to be tough for Donald Trump as being born in the Year of the Dog with lots of fire and earth energy. When more earth energy occurs as in a double earth year, Trump is left even more unbalanced as excess of an element is always detrimental. October is when the extent of his difficulties peak according to
Woody Chan's outlook for 2018.

China sees itself as the centre of the world and with a difficult outlook foreseen in the East direction [from China]  this could indicate political & socio-economic conditions deteriorating in the US in the year from Feb 2018.

The total lunar eclipse of Jan 31/Feb 1 remains in play until August so the stock market issues have also been activated under the complex array of conditions involving the range of planets in tight angular  connection to that eclipse.

With current factors in effect and knowing what factors are unfolding in the short term next few years it would seem more likely than not that market "corrections" will not be unusual and could tend towards significant as our relationship with money and materialism continues to be altered.

Financial astrology is another specialist field and not the one known best to the author.
One such specialist Ray Merriman considers this period the start of The Great Reset -and whatever factors he is using for that conclusion...the writing is generally on the wall as we all collectively head towards the end of a 200 year socio-economic age which officially ends just before the close of December 2020 allowing the new 200+ year cycle to be in place as 2020 concludes.
For some years we have been in the transition period -where two contrasting idealogies run alongside each other..so the new is in fact already identifiable as more and more virtual and digital artefacts replace the solidly physical...as people begin to declutter and have a smaller terrestrial footprint..these are everyday examples of a massive conceptual shift [one the world of fine arts embraced decades ago]..this is the shift from earth-focussed [physical, material] energy to dematerialised, miniaturised, conceptualised, digitised air energy - which will create a very differently lived lifestyle in the many decades until the new transition period arises from 2160, heading towards the water cycle fully embedded by 2219 - another long cycle -this time bearing the themes of our shared humanity..our connection to the breadth of existence. It seems a long way to go to reach home.
