We are all in the gutter, but some of us are looking at the stars. Oscar WildeToday all radio stations on Planet Earth should be playing this song. What the aptly named Fifth Dimension immortalized in their spring of 1969 psychedelic soul classic is now literally true: This is the dawning of the Age of Aquarius the Grand Conjunction of Jupiter and Saturn on December 21st at 𝟬° in Aquarius.
Aquarius starts just as some dodgy, self-important elites gear up to impose a Great Reset on most of the planet following a very specific, reductionist and exclusionist political agenda. Yet the real deal is not the Reset; its the Mutation.
So were all into something much bigger than any neo-Orwellian scenario. To shed much needed light into what seems our current, interminable darkness, I posed selected questions to Vanessa Guazzelli, a respected astrologer, writer and speaker in astrology conferences worldwide, as well as a practicing psychoanalyst and psychologist.
Let astrology fertilize geopolitics. Let the sunshine in.

"a respected astrologer"
Well, they couldn't even find a picture of Saturn to illustrate this "article" about Saturn and Jupiter. Instead, they've gone with one of Ganymede nearly eclipsing Jupiter. You know, the moon of Jupiter that astrologers hadn't a clue about, until Galileo the astronomer studied Jupiter and found it?
Oh, the whole thing is bollocks, and you know it's all bollocks. Why would you think that alignments of points of the solar system have anything whatever with world politics? Or that the patterns stars form (or formed, in the case of the zodiac - because they've moved a bit since the Babylonians had the ideas you now push) can some how "show the value of South America's resources"?
"Let astrology fertilize geopolitics." Well, bullshit may be natural fertilizer, but we need less than it in geopolitics, not more. You know who else has anti-science ideas, and lets their feelings about superstitions overtake rational thought and study of people? The Republicans.

(13,091 posts)the events that would mark the "dawning of the Age of Aquarius" were:
"The moon in the seventh house." A quick internet search says the moon is in Aries - the first house.
"Jupiter aligns with Mars." Jupiter is aligned with Saturn.
I drove out of town last night to see the conjunction. It is a rare event and was worth seeing, but I have no expectation that peace will suddenly guide the planets or love steer the stars.
I find many breathless internet postings about the alignment of Jupiter and Saturn meaning great things. I remain skeptical. Then again, my parents named me Thomas in a moment of prophetic insight.

(13,091 posts)I fear that whether people manage to align themselves with the planet will depend on people - not necessarily a hopeful thing.

(43,348 posts)Even a drop in barometric pressure. I've got a story about a gun-to-my-chest to support that.

(13,091 posts)I lack the omniscience to criticize the beliefs of others. I only ask the same forbearance by others for my beliefs.

(43,348 posts)Omniscience, yes, we haven't that.
Forbearance? May all of us give and receive it without asking.
