​Spring Greetings to all!
The spark that ignited the Promethean torch on the Winter Solstice has now grown to a flame. The Spring Equinox marks the time when day & night are of equal length, from here the Light grows reaching maximum force on the Summer Solstice.
So where do we find ourselves in the Spring of 2021? 
 
While the Saturn/Pluto Boil Lancing of 2020 served to expose the toxins, both literal & figurative, spreading across the land it appears that 2021 is tasked with the cleanup.  
 
Spring is the time of cleaning & clearing the planting ground for sowing seeds that will be ripening at the Summer Solstice.  This also applies to planting the seeds of ideas, plans & projects. As sunlight is the key ingredient for seed growth the Light of consciousness is nourishment to the seeds of mind & imagination.

The torch of Prometheus bears the Sacred Fire that brought heat & light to humanity. The mastery of fire resulted in an evolutionary leap for our humanoid ancestors.  Today the challenge is mastery of Light.  Composed of electricity & magnetism Light has many practical applications from energy production to healing modalities.  Much more on this will be forth coming in the next episode of the LOTR series later this year. ​

For more than a year we’ve been told an invincible virus is rampaging across the planet & vaccinating everyone on Earth is the only way to save us. 
Whether true or not this story has generated enough fear in the populace that Tyranny is embraced, provided it wears the costume of concern for human health.  Our human rights & freedoms continue to be violated with home imprisonment, social distancing, mask mandates & the threat of forced inoculations with experimental ‘treatments’. 

The FOE appears to be advancing with its destructive agenda of domination & control, however another Force is budding like the new green shoots popping up from the frozen ground. An example of this rising Promethean Spirit is evident by the millions of people from around the world who marched on the first day of Spring against the dictatorship of lock downs, masks & experimental injections .
Uranus the planet of Liberation & Rebellion rules Aquarius, the sign associated with the myth of Prometheus.  Saturn represents the force of nature that seeks to uphold old structures even when they have outlived their usefulness.  The clash of these forces will be in effect through out the year with major battles coming mid June just before the Summer Solstice & again a few days after the Winter Solstice.

​With Uranus the Liberator situated in Taurus, a fixed earth sign, we can expect radical upheavals in all things dealing with resources of the earth & land. Uranus rules volcanoes & earthquakes which have been numerous in recent weeks. The value of tangible assets, money & investments, including digital currencies, are likely to fluctuate wildly.  A good time to invest in land, emergency preparedness, developing practical skills especially gardening, agriculture & animal husbandry. Farming & homesteading are already on the rise.   
Technological breakthroughs are also a function of Uranus influence, for better or worse, bringing us closer to Ring of Power capabilities, hence the potential for war & catastrophic destruction of earth & life.  The good news here is we can use the innovative creativity of Uranus to build small scale independent energy systems to power our homes & vehicles reducing reliance on increasingly unreliable large scale energy production & infrastructure.  

All in all its likely to be a rough ride as the Resistance gathers steam & the forces of oppression move to tighten their grip. Be aware of forces that seek to pit members of the Fellowship against each other, divide & conquer is the FOE’s most effective weapon.  This is the Battle at the Black Gate, Galadriel the Lady of Light observes, “The Quest stands upon the edge of a knife, stray but a little & it will fail to the ruin of all.  Yet hope remains while the company is true.”  
​
May we all rise to our Greatness to meet the challenge before us!

​Hail & Blessings to all!
I suspect the year 2020 will stand out in history as a year of Mythic changes!  
The following analysis details the events of 2020 in mythological terms using astrology & LOTR as a method of deciphering the meaning of this remarkable time.
 
Astrologically speaking starting Jan 2020 we have endured a major planetary alignment of Saturn & Pluto, a recurring cycle of 35-38 yrs. These planets deal with both personal & collective Shadow. As detailed in the monumental work of Richard Tarnas in ‘Cosmos & Psyche’ where he traces back to 410 BC connections between Saturn & Pluto marking a time where vistigial structures breakdown revealing the venomous rot so transformation & metamorphosis can take place.  In short it is Boil Lancing, both personal & collective, a long, painful & messy process whereby the destructive, poisonous, toxic forces in the human psyche are forced to the surface to be made conscious & cleansed so Healing can take place.  Adding fuel to the Boil Lancing fire of 2020 is the extra influence of Jupiter & Mars. Jupiter represents the force of Nature that brings expansion, amplification, making Bigger whatever it touches.  In other words Bigger more intense Boil Lancing, then Mars god of War, entered the frey in early August to pour gasoline on the flames igniting the Alchemical Calcinatio which serves to burn away the dross to reveal the Gold.  Mars leaves the battlefield in early Jan 2021. 
The sign in which Saturn & Pluto converge reveals the realm of life experience where this cleansing process will take place. In 2020 it was Capricorn, symbolic of the all that provides form & structure to the larger world ie. the economic, political & social structures. On the personal level it shows up as challenges to the ego structure, ones basic sense of self identity, as well as physical health issues related to  what gives form & structure to the body: spine, bones, skin, teeth, joints, especially knees.  With Mars in the mix inflamation in these areas brings attention to underlying rigidity, blockage & repression that must be addressed if liberation from pain is to take place.

As we now stand at the culmination of this cycle another significant transition is about to occur.  At the time of the Winter Solstice Jupiter & Saturn together enter Aquarius.  Here is where mythology opens the door to a deeper understanding of events.  ​
