A few years ago, the small, very slow moving but powerful outer planet, Pluto, was conjunct Pluto in the US natal chart. In other words, this planet had returned to the exact place it was when the US was born. Pluto has an orbit of 248 years so takes that long for it to return to this place.

I would like to begin this Blog by saying that this is an astrological glimpse rather than a full-blown analysis of the year ahead, which I hope will come later. These are impressions, which I hope may be helpful. |
A Significant Beginning
While the year will still have its problems; the beginning of something is significant and sets a certain tone for the year ahead. It is not by chance that the potentially very spiritual sign of Pisces is highlighted in this way, bringing greater interest in psychic and spiritual matters and creative imagination. There is a stronger belief in a higher power and the way for us all to attract a richer life experience than in the past year is through using our intuition, creative imagination and compassion. Helping those in need is what makes us feel better about ourselves now. When we do this, we attract good fortune to ourselves.
This is not an ambitious aspect; the motivation is to give rather than expect or receive. However, like all the planetary aspects, it's up to us whether we draw on the higher potential or dive into the lower, negative aspects of Jupiter in Pisces which include deception and escapism, illusion and unwillingness to face things as they really are.
On January 2, there is a New Moon at 12 degrees Capricorn. This is another new beginning and chance to rebuild with the emphasis on dealing with reality and practical matters. Jupiter in Pisces expands our spiritual consciousness and desire to express Love; Capricorn is like the vehicle through which we can express it. Perhaps by setting up a regular routine for healing and prayer, or joining with me and others at www.12blessings.org.
Other notable January events are Venus retrograde (December 19, 2021-January 29, 2022 in Capricorn) and Mercury retrograde (January 14-February 3, 2022 in Aquarius) causing us to pause and regroup as far as our relationships and communications are concerned, and decide what changes we want to make. With these planets being in Saturn-ruled signs of Capricorn and Aquarius, the decisions we make now in these areas bring a certain welcome discipline to our lives; a greater sense of responsibility to the whole.
These ae good periods to make the adjustments necessary for a healthy, joyful 2022. With all these changes that the planets' influences bring to our attention, a good dose of self-honesty is required on our parts to keep moving on the correct path for us. If that sounds difficult, take a break from the news, social media and everything that stimulates what we call in astrology - the lower mind - for a while, and reach up through reflection and intuition to that still small voice of wisdom that is our true guide and friend.
What to Expect from 2022
But what of the year ahead? What is the overall tone of the year?
Numerologically, we have moved from a Five Year (2021) to a Six Year (2022). As a race, we are moving rapidly from a year of intense and often unwanted change when for many people, things we took for granted have been taken away from us. 2022 will not be easy but it will be welcome if we make the necessary adjustments required by the Six.
In the years One through Nine, the Five Year is regarded as a chance for new beginnings but first the old and outworn attitudes we all have, are swept away, leaving us with the qualities and attitudes that are worth keeping and developing in the burgeoning Six.
So, yes, generally we all will have to make certain adjustments, but these are conscious decisions to make subtle changes within, rather than the external changes many experienced during the turbulent Five vibration; this vibration tends to bring change whether we want it or not.
It's when we make those adjustments, we can embrace more surely this vibration of healing, strength, responsibility, marriage, love of family and friends and domestic fulfillment of the Six vibration. It's the best year to renovate your home; to buy a new home, to improve existing relationships or to marry. It is year to heal from longstanding health conditions, and to learn to heal yourself and others.
As the year progresses, we can, if we are prepared to make the necessary shifts towards greater clarity within ourselves, and more compassion and consideration for others, begin to feel more settled.
Astrologically, we are going through the last full year of Pluto in Capricorn. Since Pluto is power and Capricorn rules governments and institutions that have a certain power over our lives, we may see the defeat or ill-health or resignations from those people who have gained too much power and have not used it wisely over the past few years. We are also in the middle of the US Pluto Return which I touched on during previous years and which is another article I wish to write.
I was looking back at my articles giving a sense of Years 2018, 2019, 2020, and 2021 and think these were pretty accurate. https://www.astrologycity.com/astrology.html.
You might want to glance through these articles again. Change, confusion and chaos has been in the air for a few years now, giving us a chance to see through all this "stuff" to the deeper issues that face us all - our evolution on this planet.
If we just look at the news, we seem to have regressed as a race but in fact, we have moved through change - some embracing it and rising to the challenge; other weaker souls being sucked into the superficial madness.
Now, 2022 gives us a chance to heal, to grow and to make the essential adjustments so that we are now prepared to be the adults that we are now required to be for the unfolding future on planet Earth. This demands strength, as well as compassion and understanding. A realization that we are in this together, whether we agree with others or even like them. We cannot allow others' negativity to turn us from our own path. We only can control ourselves and the energy we radiate to the world. We can be the best person we can be, despite others.
The Virus
I did predict something that would affect the health of the world in previous years, and the virus will obviously still be with us in 2022. We currently have ongoing mutations of COVID-19 and obviously we are all seeking a solution.
Vaccines are one solution that work for many but certainly in the Western world, we are not all going to agree on this. I am fully vaccinated as my health demands this at the current time. I can't control what others do and this is not my role in this article. I think we can all agree though that the virus has not only caused deaths and sickness throughout the world but also generated a lot of hatred among people with different opinions.
We really do have to think hard this year about what kind of energy we are putting out. I have learned that one can never control anyone else; one can never force anyone else. Astrology teaches us to do our best work by understanding and from that brings a certain appreciation and love. I would love it if, like my husband's family - all fully vaccinated - all wore masks over Christmas - not for themselves or each other - but just for me. I quickly suggested we removed masks but was deeply touched by the kindness and love of my family for me, who would sacrifice their own comfort because of my health. It was definitely a learning moment for me.
I am not suggesting all the anti-vax people step up but suggesting we all try and heal ourselves, our relationships and try and do our best for other people. The world has become way too self-righteous, opinionated and self-centered. We see violence on airplanes and everywhere. We can't do anything about that from where we are but we can send out our love - through our words, our thoughts and especially our prayers. Every one of us makes a difference; I do know that.

If your world feels out of balance at this time, you may find the answer in the quote attributed to Hermes Trismegistus: “As above, so below….” Whatever happens to us on Earth reflects the Divine plan of evolution working through the energies of the planets.
Right now, the energies are extremely intense as the Sun, Moon, Mercury, Venus, Jupiter and Saturn are all in the sign of Aquarius, forming what’s called in astrology – a stellium (a configuration of three or more planets in the same sign of the zodiac). All of this Aquarian energy is influencing the lives of everyone on Earth, especially from February 1 until February 18. The peak day is at the time of the New Moon on February 11 at 2:05 p.m. EST. This high-octane powerful and intense energy in the powerful sign of Aquarius is calling us to awaken to greater humanitarianism, a desire for Oneness, social justice, an expansion of consciousness, a quest for Truth rather than theory, and an integration of science and spirituality.
All of these planets in Aquarius form a square (a 90-degree angle that brings tense energy with one of two ruling planets of Aquarius – Uranus in the sign of Taurus). Uranus brings revelation as well as revolution. This indicates Earth changes, buried secrets coming to light, as well as possible violence and a desire to tear down the status quo. Fortunately, the influence of the second planetary ruler of Aquarius, Saturn, referred to as the planet of Karma and upholder of tradition, is particularly strong. It is reminding us that our actions, our thoughts, our intentions all have consequences.
This potent configuration is like a cosmic reminder that we can no longer continue as we have been and now is the time for us to move away from our infancy as a race and grow into conscious adults.
What does this mean for us; what can we expect and what should we do?
While the planets incline they do not compel. Since we have freewill, the choice of how we use these influences – by realizing more fully our divine potential or by continuing in our petty, selfish ways - is up to each and every one of us. There is a time for everything, and this is time to strive for spiritual goals. It is time to understand ourselves and others. It is a time to determine to make a positive difference. It is a time of giving through service to others, healing and prayer.
If we choose to do this, we are then using the potent energies of the planets to assist us and each other in our growth and evolution. It is as if God is pointing out to us the way forward through the influence of Its fantastic planetary emissaries.
Almost Sixty Years Ago - The Age of Aquarius Begins and the World Changes
Almost sixty years ago, on February 4/5, 1962, a similar stellium of seven planets took place in the sign of Aquarius during the time of a total solar eclipse. In 1962, the intensification of energy of this line-up of planets resulted in worldwide changes of social and spiritual consciousness. This was the beginning of a counter-culture: a new spirituality, transformative love. On the negative side, we saw free sex, drugs, a blurring of identity, confusion over boundaries.
The planetary configuration on February 11, 2021 is akin to humanity being given a second chance to uphold the positive attributes of the new spirituality of this Age, embodied by organizations such as The Aetherius Society.
In 1962, the stellium was reported in the news and celebrated among astrologers. However, it was the 1967 musical, Hair, with its opening song, Aquarius, with the line "This is the dawning of the Age of Aquarius", that brought the Aquarian age concept to the attention of audiences worldwide. While the astrology wasn’t accurate, the words resonated with many people yearning to find a better way of living in keeping with the concepts of this song: “Harmony and understanding, Sympathy and trust abounding, No more falsehoods or derisions”.
However, the real significance of the 1962 configuration was taking place behind or one might say above the scenes. These actions by Masters and Ascended Masters from The Spiritual Hierarchy of Earth together with Interplanetary Intelligences known as Cosmic Masters who have been assisting humanity for many thousands of years, were absolutely astounding. This was reported in The Aetherius Society’s journal, Cosmic Voice # 26, July-August, 1962.
This Cosmic Voice included many messages, known as transmissions, received through the yogic mediumship of Dr. George King.
For more information and details of this extraordinary action by the Great Masters, together with texts of Their transmissions, please visit The Aetherius Society’s Blog at https://www.aetherius.org/out-of-darkness-into-light-the-amazing-astrology-of-february-11th-2021/. You will also find there details of how to join in the special online Services to celebrate this configuration on February 11.
Our Actions Now
During the time leading up to and after the most potent day of the planetary stellium on February 11, The Aetherius Society is using this intensification of planetary energies in the most potent way – by increasing our Spiritual actions and Services of global prayer and healing.
We invite you all to join us in our online and live-streamed Services at this time, so that you too can be a part of this change – leading us out of darkness into light. Let us remember that, in this Age of science – the Aquarian Age - it is our Love that is the most essential energy of all.

Dear Friends:
So what can we expect in 2021. Last year was, as we know, a difficult one for many people; it was one of limitation and often discipline imposed upon us. However, for some it was a positive time of building up of the inner self.
This year will be very different; it is a time of change. On December 21 we changed from one 200-year astrological era to another which began on the day of the Winter Solstice, December 21, 2020. This was the day of the coming together of Jupiter and Saturn known in astrology as The Great Conjunction at 0 degrees Aquarius, right at the beginning of this sign.
It was so rare astrologically that the last time these two planets met right at the beginning of Aquarius, was 1405, during the Great Renaissance in Europe. We are now entering another great Renaissance on Earth.
This will will come in slowly with difficulties especially at the beginning, and many will feel uncertainty as we enter the unknown.
I urge people to go with this new flow of change. The planets are advanced living Intelligences; creating a great Cosmic symphony of energies assisting all life in its evolution.
Please read my previous Blog for further information about this.
We have moved from an Era of materialism with Jupiter and Saturn joining in the Earth Signs. We are entering an overlay of the 2,100 year Aquarian Age which began in the early 1960s.
We are heading this year into a another 200-year Renaissance with Jupiter and Saturn now joining in the Air signs. Slowly but surely more people will seek Aquarian values of humanitarianism; a new Spirituality; breaking free of old ways of thinking and being; and working together in groups for the good of mankind and the Earth upon which we live. We are entering a time when technological and scientific advancement will be used for the good of all.
The energies of Jupiter and Saturn continue to assist us throughout 2021. Urging us to work hard together in a wise Saturnian focused and disciplined way for the good of the whole; then will the Jupiterean gifts of Divine opportunity; abundance, good fortune, joy and virtual miracles upon Earth be activated.
This transition will, however, not be easy. Courage will be needed.
This intense energy of the great Conjunction making a difficult square aspect to Uranus, the planet of change, builds up from January 14 and is intensified by Mars coming into the mix from January 18-23 –This is an explosive combination peaking on the day of the Presidential Inauguration on January 20 potentially bringing violence and riots; as well as possible environmental or natural disasters.
There are many important days in 2021 but since time is limited, I am going focus on what is, astrologically speaking, the most important days of the year – February 11, 2021. This is yet another Aquarian infusion of energies. It’s as if we passed through the door to this on December 21 and we are now coming out the other side ready to meet this change.
On February 11, a New Moon in Aquarius is part of a six-planet line up– known as a STELLIUM. This is when all planets are lined up in a row, very closely together. These planets are the Sun, Moon, Mercury Rx, Venus, Jupiter, and Saturn. It brings tremendous POWER and INTENSITY and a RAMPING UP even more of all that Aquarius symbolizes.
This alignment of six planet in Aquarius next month parallels the seven-planets in Aquarius experienced on February 5, 1962 that was heralding in the beginning of the Aquarian Age and launched major cultural and spiritual shifts of consciousness the 1960s. Some of you listening may remember.
This alignment in February is a similar launching point for global change. This will affect all of us. The best advice during these extremely potent periods of 2021 is to adopt a spiritual approach, giving service and spiritual practices bringing harmony and healing. This will help to balance the extreme nature of these energies which, although good in every way, can be difficult to cope with.
I urge you to join in global prayer which will help you and all who need help in our world. You can visit the website www.12blessings.org and join with people from many countries in beautiful services of The Twelve Blessings. This group prayer for the good of all, is the essence of Aquarius and will be extremely helpful during this entire year.
I believe that nobody can resist a new era who’s time has come… The energies of the planets are irresistible but it’s still our choice how we use them. Astrology inclines but it does not compel. It’s wise to embrace the changes that are coming; to make positive changes within ourselves; letting go of the past that has held us back and moving forward. By realizing more fully our humanity and bringing a warmth and feeling to this Age.
This year of Change will not be easy; it will require courage, determination and equal doses of strength and compassion; but if we focus on realizing our Divine potential as well as serving others and our world, it will be absolutely fantastic!
The Inauguration Horoscope
Now a few words about the Inauguration horoscope. Just as the USA inaugurates a new President, which historically has always been a peaceful transfer of power, but as just mentioned, on this day there is an explosive mix of energies with the planet of change, Uranus, squaring Jupiter/Saturn on January 20-23. There is a difficult mix of energies; Uranus wants change and Taurus the sign it is in, does not. It’s as if our heels are dug in the floor; it’s about shaking the unshakeable; we can expect to see sudden changes and intense struggles play out on the world stage especially in February and twice more in 2021.
Also, the chart for this day has powerful Pluto is at the top/Midheaven of the chart and because Pluto is very slow moving it is possibly the first time this has ever happened in US history. Pluto indicates transformation but at worst it is controlling and manipulative. However, it does bring hope and optimism in the long term.
All I can say is that, on this day, anything could happen. I urge you to stay indoors and pray if you are able to.
The good news is that the astrology of 2021 offers an optimistic outlook. There’s a new chapter unfolding, and there's a chance to be the change we want to see and build new ways of being . . . together.
Blessings,
Chrissie Blaze
On the Winter Solstice, Monday, December 21, 2020, a planetary miracle was taking place. This was the day of the Great Conjunction of Jupiter and Saturn when these two planets appeared almost joined together, gaining the epithet of “The Christmas Star”.
A conjunction occurs when planets appear incredibly close to one another in the sky. The two giant planets, Jupiter and Saturn, align about every twenty years but this Great Conjunction marks the first time since 1623 that they have passed this closetooneanotherintheheavens. Itissorarethatthelasttimewehavebeen able to witness this event clearly visible in the night sky was almost 800 years ago!
We learn from the Cosmic teachings of The Aetherius Society that the planets are extremely advanced, living, Cosmic Intelligences. Some astrologers believe that any powerful alignment of planets is important and part of a Divine plan of evolution. Their powerful energies are as a Cosmic Symphony and this music of spheres assists the evolution of all life in this Solar System.
To celebrate this Great Conjunction of Jupiter and Saturn, The Aetherius Society conducted a special Service of The Twelve Blessings to mark the beginning of what astrologers call “A New Aquarian Era” in this most Spiritual and potent way.
This day was also the Winter Solstice, when the Sun moves into the sign of Capricorn each year; it is the shortest day of the year when gradually the days start to lengthen in the Northern Hemisphere. The Winter Solstice has been marked over thousands of years by festivals and rituals but this Solstice was far more significant because of the Great Conjunction of Jupiter and Saturn. We therefore joined in the most powerful mystical ritual delivered to Earth for this Age by the Master Jesus, through the extraordinary Mediumship of our Master, His Eminence Sir George King, focusing on the Eighth Blessing – “Blessed Is The Mighty Sun”.
The Great Conjunction of Jupiter and Saturn is one planetary event that both astronomers and astrologers have been excited about for some time. Astronomers are excited because these two planets haven’t been this close for centuries; they are just 1/10t h degree apart, appearing to the naked eye like a bright star. Look up in the sky tonight around sunset if the sky is clear and you should be able to see what looks like a bright star but not twinkling as stars do but shining more steadily. (To see this conjunction for yourself, look in the South West part of the sky just after sunset. You will be able to see this for a week or so each evening)
Astrologers are excited because the last time these two giant planets joined at 0.1 degrees Aquarius – right at the beginning at the sign of Aquarius – was in 1405! This was during the Renaissance, a period in Europe when there was a flowering of culture, philosophy, literature and art and a political and economic rebirth following the Middle Ages. Astrologers have used these Jupiter-Saturn cycles to track history for thousands of years as they sketch the broad strokes of an era. We are now heading more surely into another Renaissance of a different type where Spirituality, science and technology will join and flourish for the benefit of all.
On this historic day of December 21, 2020, we are also beginning a new 200-year Era for humanity. Humanity has experienced 200 years of Jupiter and Saturn coming together in the Earth signs1 with their focus on the physical and the material; on building, and the status quo. The Industrial Revolution was in its heyday and although advances were made in many areas, this Age has led to excessive materialism where billionaires seem to be the norm while others are hungry. The most revered aspect of this Earth Era should have been our Mother Earth, and yet humanity has taken from Her ceaselessly and selfishly with little thought of repayment.
Now, in these next 200 years, the focus is on the Air Signs , beginning with Aquarius. The Air signs are no better than the Earth Signs; these elements just manifest differently. These are information ages, intellectual and ideological in nature. We are now being given an opportunity to manifest the best that this new Era offers to us. What we have witnessed and experienced through our past history is now behind us. It’s as if the planets are now calling us to move forward in our evolution with a will.
1 In astrology, the Earth Signs are Taurus, Virgo and Capricorn. In astrology, the Air Signs are Gemini, Libra and Aquarius. For one, the planet upon which we live, move and have our being, the Goddess Earth, demands this if we are to continue upon Her beautiful Body.
Astrology is based on the ancient adage, “As above, so below”. Whatever is happening in the heavens, affects and influences us. The planets assist us in our evolution; change is taking place now on this planet so that we can move more surely towards our Divine heritage. However, change is difficult for us humans and many are feeling discomfort, stress and facing very real challenges. You may have heard people saying that this year, 2020, has felt as if things were coming to an end and that life would never be the same again. They are correct because this new Aquarian Era is unlike the conservative energy of the previous sign, Capricorn. Aquarius is about freedom; breaking free of old ways of thinking and being, and a realization of Oneness.The previous era has now come to an end.
This new era from December 21 will, gradually but surely, manifest as a critical mass as people begin to realize more fully their humanity
You may agree that this has not been our finest hour on our beautiful planet. Humanity cannot continue using up the precious resources given so freely by Mother Earth, greedily taking with no thought of repayment. It’s obvious to all thinking people that we need a major shift in consciousness. It is true that the planets incline but they do not compel. Today, and going forward, humanity has another chance to change for the better - but still we have to want to do it. The choice is always ours – do we continue to use our freewill, doing whatever we want; or do we move in the direction of true, lasting freedom? That is the burning question for us today and in the future.
This is an historic day and it is not by chance that you are here, reading this. We are just a relative few people on Earth, deciding to make a mark at the beginning of this Era by joining together spiritually in many different ways; symbolizing that the beginning of this era is marked by all that is good. We have the opportunity to herald in this Era in the highest way possible.
3 Visit www.aetherius.org learn about the Spiritual nature of Earth and what The Aetherius is doing to help Her and humanity at this time through Operation Sunbeam.
The event on December 21 is known as the New Era of Aquarius - because Jupiter and Saturn are conjunct in the sign of Aquarius. However, we are already in the Age of Aquarius, 2,160 years in length. We are now beginning what could be called an “overlay” of this Age, within the existing Aquarian Age.
My own belief is that we have been in The Aquarian Age since the 1960s, and some other astrologers also believe this. I believe it began on July 8, 1964, the Day of The Primary Initiation of Earth – and if you are interested to find out more about this amazing Cosmic event – please visit aetherius.org. Two years later, in 1966, Dr. George King devised Operation Sunbeam, a Cosmic Mission through which Spiritual energy is sent to Mother Earth, the living Goddess who has sacrificed so much for us, as a karmic manipulation on behalf of the entire human race. Then, in 1969, soon after these colossal events, thanks to the astronauts who landed on the Moon, we saw the very first pictures of the Earth from Space, changing our consciousness forever, as we saw and realized Her fragility, and our Oneness.
From December 21, 2020, a new focus and greater potency is being brought to the Aquarian vision, thanks to the Great Conjunction. In astrology, Jupiter is associated with the principles of growth, expansion, healing, prosperity, good fortune, and what you might call miracles. In spiritual astrology, Saturn is called The Lord of Karma and is associated with discipline, focus, hard work, tradition, commitment and wisdom.
This planetary conjunction is assisting us to truly embrace this Age of Aquarius and it is now up to us to grasp the opportunities that this Age will offer to us all. If we work hard together in a Saturnian disciplined way for the good of the whole; then can the Jupiterian gifts of Divine opportunity; abundance, good fortune, joy and virtual miracles upon Earth be activated.
Although we are heading into a new year, 2021, with this strong focus on Aquarian values, we should be aware that Uranus, the co-ruler of this sign of Aquarius, is currently in a difficult aspect to this conjunction – what astrologers call a “square”. We can therefore initially expect a strong resistance to these changing values.
We’re heading towards a more progressive, open-minded, innovative, humanitarian, unified, inventive way of life but, right now, it may feel as if our heels are dug in the floor because of this aspect with the planet Uranus in the sign of Taurus. This is a difficult mix of energies; Uranus wants change and Taurus does not. It’s about shaking the unshakeable; we can expect to see intense struggles play out on the world stage through February, 2021 and again later in the year.
However, despite this, nothing and nobody can resist a new Era whose time has come. People can try – and they probably will - but it is an impossibility. The energies of the planets are irresistible but it’s still our choice how we use these life-giving energies. Let us all choose to use them in the most positive way possible by accepting that change is coming; highlighting exciting inventions for the good of humanity; innovative ways to overcome our problems to nurture the Earth and each other. For it is indeed this is a time of Oneness when division must surely be eradicated on this Earth.
This new Era will bring prominence to The Aetherius Society as a truly Aquarian organization in its every Aim and Objective. Although ahead of its time, it is very much of this time. This is a wonderful time to consider joining us in our mission of world service, personal and global healing and spreading the Cosmic teachings, by becoming a Friend of even a Member. This era will be beneficial for all involved in Service to others in one of many ways.
The Founder and Spiritual Master, Dr. George King said, in the 1960s when the Aquarian Age was beginning, that the most important energy crisis on this planet is the Spiritual Energy Crisis – this global lack of love and harmony. By joining in prayer, and especially in the Twelve Blessings Services held by our Society very frequently online, live-streamed and in person, you are part of the solution for this Earth.
For those of you who are new to The Twelve Blessings these were delivered by the Cosmic Avatar, The Master Jesus, through the extraordinary Mediumship of Dr. George King in 1958. These profound teachings, also a spiritual practice and beautiful mystical ritual, were given for this Aquarian Age and include a Cosmic concept. You can learn more about The Twelve Blessings and join in online Service with people around the world at www.12blessings.org. In return, you will receive back an even higher aspect of love than that which you have radiated through your prayers.
Never underestimate the contribution you can make through your prayers for the world. Many people have found that these beautiful Blessings have changed their lives for the better in so many ways. They will help to raise your vibrations and sensitize you in readiness for the heightened vibrations that will become ever more manifest upon our world.
On this historic day, let us all do our best to leave behind all that has held us back in this old Era, and gravitate towards all that is good in this new era. Let the past be as water under the bridge and let us ready ourselves for a powerful transformation on this planet. It will not be easy; it will require courage, determination and equal doses of strength and compassion; but if we focus on realizing our own Divine potential as well as serving others and our world, it will be absolutely fantastic!

The most revered aspect of this Earth Era should have been our Mother Earth, and yet humanity has taken from Her ceaselessly and selfishly with little thought of repayment.
Now, in these next 200 years, the focus is on the Air Signs , beginning with Aquarius. The Air signs are no better than the Earth Signs; these elements just manifest differently. These are information ages, intellectual and ideological in nature. We are now being given an opportunity to manifest the best that this new Era offers to us. What we have witnessed and experienced through our past history is now behind us. It’s as if the planets are now calling us to move forward in our evolution with a will.
1 In astrology, the Earth Signs are Taurus, Virgo and Capricorn. In astrology, the Air Signs are Gemini, Libra and Aquarius. For one, the planet upon which we live, move and have our being, the Goddess Earth, demands this if we are to continue upon Her beautiful Body.
Astrology is based on the ancient adage, “As above, so below”. Whatever is happening in the heavens, affects and influences us. The planets assist us in our evolution; change is taking place now on this planet so that we can move more surely towards our Divine heritage. However, change is difficult for us humans and many are feeling discomfort, stress and facing very real challenges. You may have heard people saying that this year, 2020, has felt as if things were coming to an end and that life would never be the same again. They are correct because this new Aquarian Era is unlike the conservative energy of the previous sign, Capricorn. Aquarius is about freedom; breaking free of old ways of thinking and being, and a realization of Oneness.The previous era has now come to an end.
This new era from December 21 will, gradually but surely, manifest as a critical mass as people begin to realize more fully their humanity
You may agree that this has not been our finest hour on our beautiful planet. Humanity cannot continue using up the precious resources given so freely by Mother Earth, greedily taking with no thought of repayment. It’s obvious to all thinking people that we need a major shift in consciousness. It is true that the planets incline but they do not compel. Today, and going forward, humanity has another chance to change for the better - but still we have to want to do it. The choice is always ours – do we continue to use our freewill, doing whatever we want; or do we move in the direction of true, lasting freedom? That is the burning question for us today and in the future.
This is an historic day and it is not by chance that you are here, reading this. We are just a relative few people on Earth, deciding to make a mark at the beginning of this Era by joining together spiritually in many different ways; symbolizing that the beginning of this era is marked by all that is good. We have the opportunity to herald in this Era in the highest way possible.

The event on December 21 is known as the New Era of Aquarius - because Jupiter and Saturn are conjunct in the sign of Aquarius. However, we are already in the Age of Aquarius, 2,160 years in length. We are now beginning what could be called an “overlay” of this Age, within the existing Aquarian Age.
My own belief is that we have been in The Aquarian Age since the 1960s, and some other astrologers also believe this. I believe it began on July 8, 1964, the Day of The Primary Initiation of Earth – and if you are interested to find out more about this amazing Cosmic event – please visit aetherius.org. Two years later, in 1966, Dr. George King devised Operation Sunbeam, a Cosmic Mission through which Spiritual energy is sent to Mother Earth, the living Goddess who has sacrificed so much for us, as a karmic manipulation on behalf of the entire human race. Then, in 1969, soon after these colossal events, thanks to the astronauts who landed on the Moon, we saw the very first pictures of the Earth from Space, changing our consciousness forever, as we saw and realized Her fragility, and our Oneness.
From December 21, 2020, a new focus and greater potency is being brought to the Aquarian vision, thanks to the Great Conjunction. In astrology, Jupiter is associated with the principles of growth, expansion, healing, prosperity, good fortune, and what you might call miracles. In spiritual astrology, Saturn is called The Lord of Karma and is associated with discipline, focus, hard work, tradition, commitment and wisdom.
This planetary conjunction is assisting us to truly embrace this Age of Aquarius and it is now up to us to grasp the opportunities that this Age will offer to us all. If we work hard together in a Saturnian disciplined way for the good of the whole; then can the Jupiterian gifts of Divine opportunity; abundance, good fortune, joy and virtual miracles upon Earth be activated.
Although we are heading into a new year, 2021, with this strong focus on Aquarian values, we should be aware that Uranus, the co-ruler of this sign of Aquarius, is currently in a difficult aspect to this conjunction – what astrologers call a “square”. We can therefore initially expect a strong resistance to these changing values.
We’re heading towards a more progressive, open-minded, innovative, humanitarian, unified, inventive way of life but, right now, it may feel as if our heels are dug in the floor because of this aspect with the planet Uranus in the sign of Taurus. This is a difficult mix of energies; Uranus wants change and Taurus does not. It’s about shaking the unshakeable; we can expect to see intense struggles play out on the world stage through February, 2021 and again later in the year.
However, despite this, nothing and nobody can resist a new Era whose time has come. People can try – and they probably will - but it is an impossibility. The energies of the planets are irresistible but it’s still our choice how we use these life-giving energies. Let us all choose to use them in the most positive way possible by accepting that change is coming; highlighting exciting inventions for the good of humanity; innovative ways to overcome our problems to nurture the Earth and each other. For it is indeed this is a time of Oneness when division must surely be eradicated on this Earth.
This new Era will bring prominence to The Aetherius Society as a truly Aquarian organization in its every Aim and Objective. Although ahead of its time, it is very much of this time. This is a wonderful time to consider joining us in our mission of world service, personal and global healing and spreading the Cosmic teachings, by becoming a Friend of even a Member. This era will be beneficial for all involved in Service to others in one of many ways.
The Founder and Spiritual Master, Dr. George King said, in the 1960s when the Aquarian Age was beginning, that the most important energy crisis on this planet is the Spiritual Energy Crisis – this global lack of love and harmony. By joining in prayer, and especially in the Twelve Blessings Services held by our Society very frequently online, live-streamed and in person, you are part of the solution for this Earth.
For those of you who are new to The Twelve Blessings these were delivered by the Cosmic Avatar, The Master Jesus, through the extraordinary Mediumship of Dr. George King in 1958. These profound teachings, also a spiritual practice and beautiful mystical ritual, were given for this Aquarian Age and include a Cosmic concept. You can learn more about The Twelve Blessings and join in online Service with people around the world at www.12blessings.org. In return, you will receive back an even higher aspect of love than that which you have radiated through your prayers.
Never underestimate the contribution you can make through your prayers for the world. Many people have found that these beautiful Blessings have changed their lives for the better in so many ways. They will help to raise your vibrations and sensitize you in readiness for the heightened vibrations that will become ever more manifest upon our world.
On this historic day, let us all do our best to leave behind all that has held us back in this old Era, and gravitate towards all that is good in this new era. Let the past be as water under the bridge and let us ready ourselves for a powerful transformation on this planet. It will not be easy; it will require courage, determination and equal doses of strength and compassion; but if we focus on realizing our own Divine potential as well as serving others and our world, it will be absolutely fantastic!

One thing is sure, the Presidential Election will cause havoc. |
George Bush, Jr. was declared the winner of Florida and Al Gore conceded the Election, then he retracted his decision when the votes had been recounted. However, eventually with Supreme Court decision, George Bush eventually won.Well, the news is that this upcoming 2020 Election is going to be far worse. In those days, 2010, even politicians were fairly civil to each other. Now, the gloves are off: as well as Mercury Retrograde we also have aggressive, hotheaded Mars retrograde in Aries adding fuel to the fire.
For months now we have seen and read the passion and sometimes hatred invoked by this Election. I suspect it will get worse.. We can expect high drama, riots and all that we have come to expect but much more intense. Mars retrograde is forming some very difficult aspects with Saturn and Pluto bringing power struggles, conflicts of every kind as well as changes within society.
Whoever wins this Election, we in the US are building up to the first Pluto return ever of the US's birth chart. You can see now some of the problems we will have in the future and especially I think around 2023-2024 when Pluto will return exactly to the location it occupied when the US was founded. This is likely to be a critical time for the US, especially for their economy and our values in the world.
(Please see my previous Blog about the Extraordinary Astrology of 2020 for further information).
This Pluto return as it is called sounds a karmic note. Since Karma is based on our actions in the past and we are creating it all the time – every second. So the karma of a nation will be mixed – some good but almost definitely over the past few hundred years, quite a bit wrong on many different levels. We are now having to pay the price - we cannot skate around karma - and so, whoever, wins the Election, our national karma will have to play out.
The US is currently the most powerful nation on earth, but will this continue to be the case? In the horoscope of the US, Pluto is located in the second house of money and resources and when Pluto returns to this point, we can expect a big wake up call for the economy. We have been living on borrowed time and borrowed money, with a current deficit of an amount beyond our true comprehension – of approximately 1.2 trillion Dollars. The pressure is on….The second house in astrology also represents our values. We will come face to face with what we truly value, and may question whether we are really living up to our own values individually and as a nation.
We are being shown by the pressure of these extraordinary planetary configurations the need for us to change, and we will be shown the way how to do this if we are courageous and compassionate enough to want to do so. Hatred and division and total intolerance is never the way forward on this planet. It is the way of the past but will not work into the future.
However, in the midst of all this chaos, there is hope. One thing is once we have paid our karma price over the next few years, it will be up to us - all of us and each of us - to rebuild in a more positive, ethical and spiritual way.
We will be assisted in this by another major planetary influence coming in – Saturn and Jupiter in Aquarius at that becomes exact at 0 degrees on December 21, 2020.
We are entering unknown territory since the last time Saturn and Jupiter were conjunct in Aquarius was in 1405.
This particular conjunction will set major astrological themes for the next twenty years in motion. This is the beginning of a new 200 year cycle of Saturn in the Air signs.. So in other words, it is a very significant planetary alignment and brings us some hope for the future. - if we are willing to make some personal changes where we consider the good of the whole, rather than be overly attached to our own personal comfort, opinions and beliefs.
This is because we are entering a new and major birthing of Aquarian Age energies. It is when all of this Aquarian impulse – power to the people, humanitarianism, invention, comes to the fore and captures people’s attention and imagination. An organization like the one I have been associated with for over 35 years, The Aetherius Society, will be recognized for what it is – a pioneering Spiritual order founded by Spiritual Master, the late Dr. George King in conjunction with advanced Masters from beyond this Earth.
One of our Teachings is that "politics is not the answer" and as far as I am concerned, I am seeing the truth of this right now when political division is causing hatred and even violence. The Spiritual approach is the only one that will work long term, if we are to survive on this planet. We are all in it together and each of us is responsible for our future. The only way we can sustain our future is through love, respect, understanding, tolerance, self-honesty, kindness, service - and all those qualities that the great Spiritual Masters have taught us down through the centuries. A realization of the greatness of the living Intelligence, the Mother Earth that sustains us and allows us to continue our evolution, and an awakening to that truth and all that it means for our future.
This birthing of a new Aquarian era (not the actual Aquarian Age that began in the 1960s) but a potentization of that; an overlay of that - a realization that we cannot continue in the direction we are now going. A growing realization that we are in this together and so division will not sustain us. A key theme of Aquarius is the fellowship of humanity - spiritual brotherhood - Oneness.
Blessings,
