I’m not reconciled at all with this upcoming eclipse. I keep going back to my last post and there’s a feeling, a vibe that I get when I finish a post, that I did not get when I published it. The feeling I get is usually a rewarding one where I feel more complete, more whole than when I sat down and stared into the grey of a blank screen. After I hit “publish” on the last post, it was more of a relief of having finished it than really capturing the zeitgeist of the aspect.
In the hours after publishing it, I’m still not resolved around the upcoming energy.
As I look at the path of the eclipse, over and over again, I see its troubling shadow grow and expand across the face of asia, crossing over the deeply troubled prefecture of Fukushima and the Daichi power plant, where reactor number four is hanging by a thread. It then stretches across the ring of fire and touches the west coast (where I live) and then moves inland, finally dissipating in the midwest.
I’m restless.
Last night I dreamt of a prison camp run by men with broken english. It felt like an encroaching version of an alternate reality that was getting closer and closer. I once lived in a flat in San Francisco that I was convinced was a portal, one of those odd places where strangely attractive phenomenon occurred on a semi-regular basis. There were ghosts and time travel. Last nights dream reminded me of that slipstream in the heart of the mission.
Normally, I can use my Mars in the 8th and Scorpio ascendant to transmute the darkness. I’ve had a lifetimes worth of practice. I was raised by a half-demon father, who would descend in fugues of rage. I studied at the back hand of Varjrapani, seasoning me for the awakening of lives and lifetimes yet to come. And yet, the enormity of this coming eclipse signals to me that this is no mere movement, no arbitrary date to be gotten through. It demands conscious awareness and even skillful preparation; fasting, cleansing, house cleaning, dressing for the event with proper attire.
In ancient times, it was the spiritual elite that had the coordinates of the eclipse passed onto them by court astrologers and viziers. Commoners often were not aware of the eclipse in the making. Thus, by prophesying the advent of the eclipse to his or her followers, the king and queen assumed a special relationship with the heavens, forming an intimate bond with the gods themselves. Knowledge as they say, equals power.
So here we are, staring down the yawning chasm of 2012, Greece is defaulting again and Chase just blew $2 billion large with nary sideways glance from anyone in DC or the media. The breezy nonchalance borders on arrogance, like the deal is already done and there isn’t shit you can do about it. And yet, still, I look at the geometry of the skies for the weekend ahead, trying to visualize it as a lens through which we can pour our conscious intention, firing up the cosmic grid with loving awareness, blending with the energies, then surrendering, letting go.
So, with that in mind, lets take another look at the eclipse.
I keep coming back to Neptune, the squares between it and the Moon, Sun and Jupiter. What do we crave more than anything right now? In a world saturated in genetically modified, high fructose, semi-comatose awareness, we crave the stable and alkalinizing enzymes of the truth. Anything less now just gives us a headache. Neptune is being challenged in the squares. We’re being challenged by the squares.
Versus the always shifting tides of the Moon, we cannot believe everything we feel. Versus the Sun, we question the veracity of solar agents; sun kings and may queens, calling out their unquestioned divine right of rule. Versus Jupiter, we question the absolutism of our beliefs and how willing and able we are to masticate the sacrament of meaning, no matter what ideological shit biscuit is being served up.
This eclipse will challenge that, especially as the Sun and Jupiter move through the house of shadows and light.
What if we could have a collective moment where the scales fall away, even if briefly and we are left with the challenge of explaining it, taking it in, moving through disclosure, disbelief and denial to deliverance? And given that we’re talking about some form of revelation, what would it look like? Could our eyes be trusted? How long before the wizards of spin could delete the memory and conjure a new program in its wake? We’re talking about a flashpoint, something so undeniable that it strains credulity. Could we handle the truth or are our pineal glands far-too-calcified to shine a truly divine light on this holographic domain?
Neptune is also opposing Mars. If some revelation is at hand, would we be too hung up on the Virgoan details, breaking it down into its various particulates until there is nothing remaining save some unrecognizable strands, all twisted up and compromised, like our very own DNA? Eclipse or not, this is the dilemma we face. And guess what? Not everyone has the same investment in ripping the veils of illusion away. Some people make really good money propagating illusion. One of my readers just turned me onto Es Devlin (interesting name, yes?). She’s in charge of designing the closing ceremonies of the London Olympics, just 66 days away on the heels of the eclipse. Miss Es Devlin’s clients include Lady Gaga, Muse, Jay Z, Kanye and others. Her use of full color spectrum and light in her work is quite illuminating.
You see, some people don’t give a shit about the truth, because reaping illusion is a lot more creative, fun and yes, profitable. Even William Blake, who figured mightily in my dream last night loved Milton for his imagination yet also despised him because at the end of the day, he turned “Paradise Lost” into a morality tale.
But the opposition doesn’t have to degrade into disempowerment. Sometimes an opposition is just that–opposition. We can look to the early sixties when Saturn was in Aquarius opposing the True Node in Leo. It heralded the decade that was to follow. In the year that John F. Kennedy was ritually snuffed out, Betty Friedan released “The Feminine Mystique.” Friedan was an Aquarius who has the rare distinction of being born and dying on the same date (Feb 4). The Beatles released their debut record, “Please Please Me” on 3/22. Martin Luther King, Ralph Abernathy and Fred Shuttlesworth were arrested in Alabama, for protesting without a permit, thus launching the civil rights movement. Here we can see the seeds of dissent planted in the consciousness of the collective psyche, which would lead to opposition, controlled and otherwise on a number of fronts.
So the Mars/Neptune opposition speaks of pragmatic and real vs ideal and out of touch. Mars in Virgo really is the masses to be honest with you. Virgo is the most defined and differentiated sign in the zodiac, opposite the undefined and vastness of oneness that is Pisces. Put into this context, keep your eyes on Greece and the bank run now taking place, building momentum, threatening the global marketplace. Monetarily, the masses are antsy and on the move.
Are we feeling better yet?
As the semi-darkness of the eclipse descends upon the streets of Chicago, where the military heads of state gather to plan the next decade of wars, the ghost of Saul Alinksy moves like a shadow amongst the spirit of man, whispering dark stratagems and designs of dualistic proportion over cocktails and ideological immersion. They toast to their brilliance, not even knowing that their supposed thoughts aren’t even their own. Cutting through a well marbled filet, the blood of the heartland’s beasts mingles with the minds of men who sacrificed Christ time and time again over a thousand universes.
More on this very important eclipse in the days to come.

The Super Moon has come and gone. The West Coast is still here. Fukushima’s reactor 4 teeters on the edge, getting ready to take most of humanity over the precipice of existence with it. But hey, Barack Obama is down with same sex marriage. Woo hoo! If reactor 4 goes, none of us will be able to procreate anyway, so what the hell. Right?
All my left coast new ager friends just lap it up. They’ve fused the flush of social justice with a little Eckhart Tolle, some ambient Dalai Lama and a holier-than-thou feel goodism, wrapped up in a sweet bhajan. I had to laugh at one of them posting on FB. He quoted Clint Eastwood getting all tough and hard about the right for gay/same sex marriages to take place. This from a guy that couldn’t handle his own marriage, kicking a dear friend to the curb at 63, sending her out to an uncertain world with little to no career prospects and even less hard resources.
She’ll be fine, in spite of his clumsy and cold endgame.
Well, we are just six days from the NATO, G8 Summit and the annular solar eclipse. This is a biggie folks, a dark portal that needs total awareness and deeply observant consciousness. The NATO summit is taking place in Chicago, which has been commandeered by Rahm Emanuel, one third of the Emanuel power trio that influences the media (his brother, super agent Ari), medicine (his brother Zeke, who co-authored Obamacare) and politics (Rahm, emperor of Chicago). Emanuel as emperor of Chicago during a NATO summit under the annular eclipse, well, could it get more weird?
The answer to the question is, likely.
Just like London will be in just a few short weeks as well, Chicago will be less of a city than a network of checkpoints and nearly total surveillance. The cost for all of this “safety” is of course being footed by the taxpayers of Chicago, which goes into the pockets of Rahm’s family and friends who likely run the companies pledged to keep things safe. I’m always amazed by how we fund and bankroll our own bondage. But since we’re not making a damn thing here anymore, security and surveillance are the cash cows. Your local congressman or senator will almost always sign off on anything related to security and surveillance (SS) because its a blanket feel good, a social soporific that allows them to con themselves into feeling all right about their complete and utter denial. So what are the stars saying, for that fated day of potential skull duggery, boot thuggery and false flaggery?
First off, let’s talk about this eclipse proper. Its a major eclipse in that it impacts large swaths of the planet and it will be visible in major portions of the USA, particularly the west coast. It literally begins in Asia, then sweeps eastwards towards the states. This is a major red flag for the ring of fire and the earthquake zones of the pacific.
When I had Rob Tillet on my show during the prelude to last years big eclipse, we talked about how eclipses impact people. He made a very strong case citing previous ones, where natural disasters often follow in their wake. In 1999, on August 11th, the annular eclipse preceded a quake that struck Turkey just six days later, killing over 14,000 people. In 1978, just hours after the total eclipse in Iran, over 25,000 people perished in an earthquake.
Considering the breadth and shadow of this eclipse, peaking in Alaska, visible for five long minutes, its got people more than just a little squirrely. Reactor 4 in Fukushima is already on a death watch and 5.0+ quake could send it and us over the edge.
It starts in Asia as a penumbral eclipse at 20:56 UT. The total eclipse starts at 22:11 UT. For all you numerology fans, take note of those digits, master numbers adding up to of course, 33. At the end of this post, I’ll link to a site that nicely illustrates the path of the eclipse.
So by the time it hits Chicago, here’s what the eclipse should look like as well as the stars around it.
Ladies and gentleman, I give you the chart of Chicago on 5/20/12 or 5 (May) on the 20th of 2012, or May on 2012, aka Mayan 2012, which takes place at 3:56PM, local time.
I’m immediately drawn to the Sun/Jupiter/Mercury conjunction in the 8th House. The Sun is mutable T-Square with Mars and Neptune. In the 8th House, identities, thought, motivations, and pushes towards expansion are hidden. The Moon/Neptune square, with Moon in the 9th and Neptune in the 5th, brings with it a touch of religious zealotry. Squaring Chiron as well, we cannot necessarily trust out own perceptions, or at the very least, they could be so incredulous, that we could accept or fathom how we perceive things on a collective scale.
There’s always a dual meaning assigned to Gemini and in the realm of the emotions, there’s a bit of ambivalence. The Gemini Moon is the most journalistic/witness driven Moon. It’s observant with a penchant for intellectualizing the emotions. In the 9th House, the cool-headedness of Gemini gives way to a much more zealous emotional position. The 9th house is foreign countries. International relations. The Moon there, in darkness reflects emotional motivations which are obscured by shadows. Intent is not clear or bright.
Squaring Mars, its fired up. Mars in Virgo is all about the details and here, in the 11th House, the masses are critical. The Gemini Moon in the 9th House says, “To Hell With Details” we want action! We want feeling! Squaring Neptune, the hidden Gemini Moon is deluded by its purpose. There’s a thrust for feeling powered by the dramatic stage of the 5th House. We’re talking spectacle. Neptune/Chiron opposing Mars in Pisces/Virgo is outright deception. Motivations must be throughly examined and vetted.
Neptune itself is mightily challenged, squaring not only the Moon, but the Sun, Mercury and Jupiter. Its also squares the TN in Sag, where again, we encounter the vagaries surrounding the truth, law, principles and morality. The Moon’s position indicates a blotting out of the Sun, which in many ways, makes the Moon and its effects even more powerful. Its lunar qualities eclipse that of the Sun and the solar masculine, giving way to the dark feminine. Speaking of the dark of the Moon, Black Moon Lilith, in Taurus is also cloaked and hiding, the power behind the throne so to speak.
In Taurus, BML transmutes into Hathor, cow and fertility goddess (4th dynasty). In the 8th House, on this hour, this day, she descends into the underworld. This is a natural progression for Lilith aka “Persephone” or “Pro-Serpentina” both goddesses of the underworld. The fixity of these three planets/aspects (Lilith/Mercury/Sun) all in Taurus and in the 8th crystalizes actions and events, creating long lasting impacts that reach into the future. Is there an inherent darkness in this chart? You bet your ass their is. Are there redeeming aspects as well? Yes.
Saturn is is still in Libra, and last time I checked, its still exalted. In the first house, it demand fairness. It trines Venus nicely, which offers some form of expansion and is the highest point of perception in the chart. Both trine Neptune in Pisces. Perhaps in times of disaster and chaos, humans rise to the occasion and help others with unconditional support and care. It was the best of times and worst of times. Out of the fiery squares of darkness, casting and fixing fate into the amber perpetuity comes the light of compassion, clarity and justice, interpenetrating the shadows dancing in the void.
Leading up to the eclipse. The Sun’s run up to the first degree of Gemini, where the eclipse occurs starts in Asia at 29 degrees. That’s where it begins. At 29 degrees Taurus, an interesting Sabian symbol emerges;
A PEACOCK PARADING ON THE TERRACE OF AN OLD CASTLE
I love Dane Rudhyar’s interpretation of the symbols and often source them for a number of reasons, but mostly for Rudhyar’s superior mind. However, he was, like most occultists an adept of older systems like the Golden Dawn and more contemporary and relating to his time; theosophy. He sees the epochs of man as cycles reflected in the degrees of the symbols, all leading to the magical process of evolving both the suprahuman and the supra-collective, which nurtures and promotes the superior consciousness. The problem is, is that this exalts an elite caste of magical practitioners. Rudhyar often refers to this as hierarchy, which is the same language used by theosophists and perhaps even more to the point, Alice Bailey’s Lucis Trust. This symbol illustrates Rudhyar’s love affair with the spiritual elite; ” KEYNOTE: The personal display of inherited gifts. A great person able to display a multitude of gifts is always, at one level or another, the consummation of a long past of efforts and victories. As a great occultist once wrote: “Adepts are the flowering of their races and cultures.” The peacock is the bird consecrated to Venus; in occult tradition the Promethean Spirits who gave to animal mankind the divine gift of self-conscious intelligence had come from “Venus” — which may or may not refer to the physical planet we can observe in the sky. This is the final symbol of the fourth scene, whose Keyword has been given as “Confirmation.” This peacock symbol indeed confirms the social status of the owner of the ancestral estate. It indicates a CONSUMMATION of individual efforts; and it suggests that such a consummation is hardly possible except when a line of “ancestors” — biological or spiritual — forms its base.
This is the lead in for the Annular Eclipse as it gains momentum in the penumbral stage on the 20th, in Asia.
So what will take place? Earthquakes? Floods? Volcanos? Tsunamis? Riots? What devils will show themselves? What angels will be revealed?
How does the Moon in Gemini, the dark Moon in the 9th reflect what’s really going on in Chicago where an amalgam of nations decide on the future course of the world, its wars, revolts and internecine conflicts? And most importantly, how does it effect you? Stay present and patient. Tether your camel and trust in God. You’ll find out soon enough.

I just wouldn’t be worth my salt as an astrologer if I didn’t chime in on this Full Moon. If you subscribed to my newsletter, you’d have already gotten the low down, with a lot of the off road commentary that I don’t post on the site, but since its such a universal event, I’ll double up on the topic and some of the info.
The power of the intensely transformational Moon started yesterday when I had harpist, Barbara Imhoff on my show. Barbara has battled back from the depths of drug addiction. She was even pronounced legally dead on the corner of Mission and 16th in San Francisco, thanks to a heavy, uncut spike of heroin.
Her death contained neither the warmth of heavenly light nor the dark of a soulless hell. It was worse–purely unconscious with no guidance at either end of the spectrum. But even that was not her bottom.
Beyond death it could get worse. She had her twin flame, her harp stolen from her broken-up car. The devils were in hot pursuit of the most angelic of instruments, the divine oracle of sound itself, snatching part of her soul, only to be redeemed in recovery.
Losing her harp was her rock bottom. Almost two years later, after she had rounded back into human form, serendipity called and miraculously, she recovered her beloved harp.
We also talked about depression and genius, reminiscing about the life of Ronnie Montrose, who was a close, personal friend of Barbara’s and one of my guitar-gods of my youth. Ronnie had committed suicide just a few weeks ago. All this as a prologue to the Scorpio Moon. Motivated, clean and recovered, Barbara has a new project called, “The Bindi Society” and a brand new CD, Falling In Light. Its a stunning combination of sacred vocals, electro-chamber music, and global poly-rhythms.
Redemption isn’t just a personal victory–its a collective triumph that almost always goes unnoticed. Its how we keep the devil at a disarming and healthy distance.
But now for the star of today’s show, the perigee Moon in Scorpio, just a scant 221, 882 miles away. Its so close you might be able to see the soul tower and other lunar spires with mere binoculars. Today is Wesak, which commemorates the life and death of the Buddha. Wesak is a really big deal with the theosophical, I AM crowd. Its when Shambala draws closer to Earth and the energies of the ascended masters are transmitted and stepped down to third dimensional frequency–or so they say. The portal for Wesak is Mount Kailash.
Adding todays lucky numbers, we get 555; May (5), 5th (5) and 2012 (5). Five is the number of man as symbolized by the pentagram and the five-sided star. In tarot it represents the minor arcana cards of; poverty (discs), disappointment (cups), defeat (wands) and betrayal (swords). The Heirophant (five) is the servant of God/Man to attend to the suffering and the key to relieving the self-fulfilling prophecy of the fives, can be found in the 14th (5) card of the major arcana; Temperance, which symbolizes temperate thought, attitude and action in all all things. Temperance might be a good state to keep in your back pocket as the night unfolds. But then again, with that Scorpio Moon, you just might have to surrender to intensity of the transformational forces of this epic Moon.
It peaks at roughly 7:45 PM, PST. At that time Scorpio will also be on the ascendant at 15 degrees and the opposition to the Taurus Sun will be exact. The same Sun will be in a wide trine with Pluto and Mars. If I could be kundalini adviser for just a few sentences, my advice to anyone that can do it, to well, do it. The energy tonight is simply ecstatic. If you’re single. Mingle. There’s magic in the night sky, especially if you are in the process of letting go of a lover or attachment. This Moon makes it final.
On the earth changes front, tides will be higher during the Super Moon and we hope and pray for the disaster that is Fukushima is not further exacerbated by the shifting Earth or the dark plans of man. Another powerful aspect of this Moon is its ability to magnetize people, events and experiences into being. Light a candle for the people of Japan and envision all the reactors cool, subdued and inert. Visualize resolution for this epic disaster.
Today would have been Tammy Wynette’s 72nd birthday. She was one of country musics first ladies. She stood by her man and then warbled about D-I-V-O-R-C-E. But maybe Tammy’s greatest star turn was the Queen of Lemuria on vocals for “Justified and Ancient” by the KLF. Here’s that epic video, from a very different time. The last word for tonights moon; Catalyze

On the morning of May 1st, 1776, as the dawn of a new day broke across the upper Bavarian sky in Ingolstadt, a small coterie of men gathered together in a secret lodge not unlike those consecrated by the sons of Hiram Abiff. On this day a new order was being born; “The Order of Perfectibilists.” This new, secret order was founded by Adam Weishaupt, a Jesuit trained lawyer who had studied at the University of Ingolstadt, where he was a student of the works and philosophies of Christian Wolff, who was at that time a leading force in what we now know as the period of “Enlightenment” in the early 1700s. Unlike the Eastern flavored definition of enlightenment that we’ve become accustomed to in the West, where the seeker receives some form of Samadhi and spiritual transmission that reunites the individual with the godhead, the European version was based on the application of reason, logic and math to the everyday world. At its core, the European Enlightenment was a scientific movement that cleave men and women away from a faith based relationship with all institutions, but primarily the church.
Interestingly enough, both Wolff and Weishaupt were both Aquarians and this fits into the model of Aquarius as the radical and revolutionary of the zodiac. There’s many other examples of the Aquarian spirit as a mover and shaker in the revolutionary model, such as Saul Alinsky, but I’m saving those salient details for my book.
So Weishaupt studied under a heretic as Wolff was ousted again and again from university posts all across western europe. And while his heretical ways didn’t endear him to the religious mindset of his times, royalty and men of business loved Wolff and his “enlightened” ideas as they promoted the individual and his powers of reason to carve out a path that was free of not only religious doctrine, but also conscience and guilt.
The enlightenment was an early admonition of “Do As Thou Will.” Wolff not only died rich, but was prestigious having achieved the title of “Baron Of The Holy Roman Empire” on the basis of his academic work. Don’t think Weishaupt didn’t notice this.
So the Bavarian Illuminati was formed on this day 236 years ago (11) and wouldn’t you know it, but a group of so-called “anarchists” were planning to blow up a bridge in Ohio today. The plot was foiled by an undercover FBI agent who apparently had the whole thing, including the bomb itself under control.
Last year, Osama Bin Laden, was ahem, killed.
In 1945, Hitler also, ahem, died on May 1st.
Weishaupt would later be initiated into Freemasonry in 1777 at a lodge in Munich. Weishaupt would use his considerable powers of persuasion and cabalistic magic to not only foment a plot to overthrow the Bavarian government, but some say alter the fraternal DNA of Freemasonry itself. Giuseppi Mazinni and Albert Pike would further the re-engineering of Freemasonry into an illuminist craft, giving birth to the contemporary versions of the order today.
In the “Illuminatus Trilogy” Robert Anton Wilson, the great writer and philosopher king of high strangeness proposed (in fiction of course) that Weishaupt was caught but never killed and actually escaped to America, where he was the hidden hand behind the American revolution.
Looking at the chart that I cast for the birth of the Illuminati on 5/1/1776, at 7AM (since seven is the magic number), we can see some interesting aspects emerge.
The 11th House of fraternity and brotherhood, there’s Venus, Chiron, and Mercury, all in Aries, with Venus in a Yod with Saturn/Moon in Libra in the 5th House. Fairness, justice, balance and equality are opposed by the activation of will in relationships that are Aquarian in nature. Venus is in its fall in Aries and Chiron conjunct makes for something along the lines of “will envy.” Feel free to interpret that any way you wish.
What appears to be open and very Aquarian is in actuality hampered by the desire to impose ones will through the veneer of relationships and networks. A few degrees away, Mercury, also in Aries exemplifies will as a mental agency. It conjuncts Mars in Taurus and squares Pluto in Cap int he house of death and psyche (8th House). Mercury here is driven by secret motivation and its plans are enduring as Mars is not swift in Taurus, but methodical and lasting. Mars also squares Pluto and we’re talking heavy power struggles in the quest for sheer power itself.
While it all seems so righteous and free on the surface of the 11th House, the Sun in the 12th House denotes something different altogether.
In the 12th House, the identity of the group is cloaked and obscured, ts full personae and purpose hidden in the confines of mystery. Again, take note that its in Taurus at 11 degrees, the number of revelation, symbolizing the twin pillars of wisdom (Boaz and Jachin). It rinse Neptune in Virgo at 22 degrees (11/22).
Journeying further into the 12th House, we also see that rascally radical planet Uranus in Gemini (twins, janus, duplicity, duality). Uranus, Neptune form a trine Pluto, summoning the powers of the three outer planetary titans of time and culture.
Jupiter slyly and coyly emerges from the 12th in Gemini as well. Hidden just beneath the fold of the ascendant, its true intent, which is the dual nature masked in Gemini as an expansive force. Gemini is the most perverse sign of the cosmos and I say this lovingly as my 7th House is mostly Gemini. But, well, you get what I’m saying. Jupiter in Gemini celebrates the mind and all things rational. Its not about faith, but what can be proven with Jupiter in Gem.
Just remember, when you light a birthday candle on this or any other day, you might just be reenacting a minor ritual of illumination. Now isn’t that just the icing on the cake?

One of the greatest devices of derision is the ad hominem attack. It was employed by Saul Alinsky and his disciples to perfection. By the way, remember Sandra Fluke? Rush Limbaugh? Last time I checked, he was still on the air, but it did give people a strong dose of raison detre, hitting the send button with vengeance and purpose on FB, as Limbaugh awkwardly waddled through the gauntlet. But that’s another story. Back to the ad hominem stratagem.
It kind of works like this; Person A says, “911 was a lie.” Person B overhears it and says, “Oh, you’re just a nutty, truther-birther with tin foil underwear” Without even hearing their arguments there’s a slam, a personal affront, mockery and an attack on their character.
Here’s another example. The same guy says, “Everything seems to point to the Israelis doing 911. There were the dancing Israelis that were pulled over by New Jersey police because they were seen doing the Hava Negila on the roof of their van while watching Manhattan burn. They were filming the event as well. After being held for a month, they were eventually allowed to go free and return to Israel, where on Israeli TV, they admitted that they were working for the Mossad. Then of course, there’s Odigo, Dov Zakheim and the missing trillions from the Pentagon, etc.” The other person says with whiplash tongue; “Oh you’re just an anti-semite.”
That’s how the game works.
The only way to win is to stay on point, stay calm and and keep presenting the facts. This goes for almost any situation. The challenge is, is that most people are deathly afraid of anger (theirs or someone elses) or rejection, so that staying clear, calm and focused in a discussion can be extremely difficult, especially when there is social charge.
This is why the “truth” movement is important. Its not necessarily about wielding excalibur and slicing away at the lies and illusions, but it is more about the process itself and where it can lead us, which is why I believe that its a vital force to be nurtured and supported.
The truth movement is ultimately a spiritual movement or one that gets us closer to understanding our own truth; who we are, why we are and where its all headed. It might start with the “Creature From Jeckyl Island” then veer off to the “Protocols” and the “Committee Of 300.” Somewhere all notions of history become obliterated and blurred, realizing that the victors were the ones that wrote it. And here we are today, doing our very best to perform surgery on the mechanical guts of the beast with pen knives and darning needles. Whether its Obamas birth certificate, the NDAA, HAARP, Fukushima or the Gulf, truth is the name of the game.
The truth movement is a catalyst and not necessarily an end, in and of itself. I really don’t see us returning to some agrarian version of Jefferson’s commonwealth with really cool computers or networks, though it sounds mighty pleasant to me. Let’s face it, the corporate state is not going to unclench its savage jaws, just because a few of the unwashed masses camp out in open spaces.
Ain’t gonna happen.
Do you think Monsanto will simply shut down its mad plan to mutate every single plant genome on the planet and thus own it, since they’ll have the rights to the patents on very vegetable or fruit? Do you think that the likes of the Rothschilds, Rockfellers, et al are all going to wake up tomorrow and suddenly grow a conscience? That’s the truth.
This is Pluto in Capricorn baby, this is their time and they’re going to put one foot on the accelerator and the other on your neck as they drive over you in the luxury coupe of their choice.
Agenda 21 is getting cranked up as a new wave of foreclosures are about to hit, while the jobless rate ebbs closer and closer to record lows. The days of brand new sub-divisions are over, done. Builders aren’t getting tax credits for the sprawling burbtopias of the 70′s, 80′s and 90′s. Not only that, but cities and counties will not get federal funds for services for new developments either, so even though a builder might go it alone, dauntless, with deep pockets, there’s zero guarantee that they’ll be able to get emergency services out there. Its all being supported to build mixed use, pack’em and stack’em condos in urban spaces.
This is the future.
Most people, especially, green people don’t want to hear it. That’s not the kind of truth they want to listen to. Did you know that green is the devil’s color by the way? Money and envy share the green. I bet the apple that Eve bit into was a shiny green Pippin.
The green movement is built on deception which is Nick’s stock-in-trade. No I am not knocking treating this planet a little more respectfully, I am in favor of it. But while most “greenies” will recite scenes from Gore’s “Inconvenient Truth” they’ll stick their fingers in their ears when you talk about chemtrails, or corexit, or Fukushima’s ill winds. For most greenies, what’s really going down passes for a much more convenient truth. But I’m getting away from the real thread of this post. You see, we may never get to the bottom of the rabbit hole or pull the fleshy masks off the perps to reveal their scaly under-armor.
The truth movement, either by design or its inherent psychic architecture will lead the lead the individual into deeper spheres of wisdom and knowledge, where the world is meta and we vibrate higher than the crushing gravity of consensual, ignorant, uninformed, reactive, reality of platitude chirping robots.
Getting to that truth has never been more essential and perhaps its never been more available to so many either, which is frustrating given the lockdown of the media, from the top of the pyramid downward. To this day, some people still sadly believe that FOX, MSNBC and the New York Times matter.
Astrologically, we’re approaching the arrival of Jupiter in Gemini, which is the opposite of Jupiter in Sag, the most kick ass placement there is for Jupiter I might add. Jupiter in Sag takes on the big picture, while Jupiter in Gemini expands in the details, the micro to Sag’s macro. Jupiter in Gem is trivial pursuits on Adderol. Its dime store novels and in the modern world, an expanding, unending universe of apps.
The USA has Venus in Gemini in its chart. We love tabloids, game shows and the New York Times Sunday crossword puzzle. Expect even more of this with Jupiter in Gem. The “66″ girls, aka the Kardashians just signed a three-year-deal for their show. Talk about Jupiter in Gemini!
But as spaceship Terra drifts ever closer to the path of the galactic center on 12/21/12, Jupiter in Gem will begin to oppose the deep degrees of Sag, where the galactic center pulses the electro plasm for the entire universe. We’ll be challenged by the enormous amounts of trivia, data, information and disinformation. Sorting through the details will be a full time job with Jupiter in Gem.
Gemini is also the sign of spycraft and deception will be stock in trade. Did you notice that CISPA, the internet surveillance bill just passed the house? Its a precursor to Jupiter in Gemini.
We won’t suffer from lack of information, in fact, we’ll be flooded with it. But information doesn’t always add up to wisdom and knowledge.
The truth movement is important because its related to being free. We can’t have one without the other and when we get right down to it, the only way we can be truly free is if we’re truthful with ourselves, ruthlessly rooting out the crap that keeps us from flowing, being open to the moment and saying “no” when its appropriate and even mandatory. Truth and freedom lead to personal sovereignty, which is the most divine state any of us can attain. Personal sovereignty equals Godhead.
The systems around us are corrupt. The people we are supposed to trust are mostly bought and paid for. They’ll fall on their own accord when we all get down and own our own truth movement, then simply find others that have done the same. That’s the only way I see this change taking place. The labyrinth of the truth movement descends into the core of the self. Its an inner journey that we impose upon the outer and as we get ready to align with the galactic center in Sag, those that are ready, willing and able to embrace the truth will be in the perfect spot. Those that aren’t, well, let’s just see how misaligned they are. It won’t be pretty.
On today’s show, I ranted on this topic and more. You can listen below.
New ideas are beginning to emerge about the true make-up of the universe. If you haven’t dipped into the “Electric Universe,” it might be time to get hip. In lay terms, the theory behind the electric universe is that planets, stars, comets, etc, are all floating in an electric soup of plasma. Everything is governed by charge with both positive and negative currents. One of the most shocking examples of the electric universe is the theory behind comets. As scientists have tracked comets, they’ve discovered that they don’t behave at all like we thought they did. Comets aren’t these interstellar renegades shooting through the universe, collecting dust, ice and other space crap. Just like the Sun is electric, so too apparently are the comets themselves as they are drawn to our Sun, via some sort of magnetic attraction and many of them wind up being discharged or dissipated by the Sun itself and apparently proximity has little to do with it. Near or far, the most direct or subtle discharge of an EMP from the Sun can untangle the very physical nature of the comets themselves.
Tesla was hip to the electric universe obviously. He knew from his studies of the aurora borealis and lightning that the Earth is being constantly bombarded by electricity. The amount of lightning strikes that hit the planet on a daily basis is ridiculous. Tesla worked it all out in the Rockies, where there are more strikes and static charge than just about anywhere else on the planet. Out of his revelations and epiphanies regarding the electric universe, he developed his legendary, free energy system that was stolen and buried by JP Morgan. Morgan’s Aries Sun, squared Tesla’s Cancerian Sun, which theoretically could produce enough friction and charge on its own to create a dynamic energy, but that was not to be the case over the long term.
With Uranus now in Aries, the electricity and energy that Tesla uncoiled, the very same energy that is the sheet lightning of creation in the cosmos, is gaining ground in our consciousness. We sing the body electric. We are the dipoles of creation, free energy systems unto our cells and selves, integrating the dynamics of charge, discharge, attraction and repellence. God is gas crackling with unconditional voltage.
In the Matrix, humans were used as batteries to power the nightmarish virtual world that they were jailed in. Where are you using your energy? Does it liberate you with less impedance in your life or is it creating a static field of inertia, where you re-create the same scenario over and over and over again?
Don’t think that the TPTW aren’t aware of this. Why do you think chemtrails, laced with aluminum coat our skies? Not only do they diffuse the clean energy of our Sun, based on the CME cycles, the energy is both increasing and intensifying. Chemtrails fill our bodies with conductive metals which become far more conducive to negative charge via cell towers, phones, TVs, etc. In essence a false and lesser version of the electric universe is being created by man.
Unless you have that special gene that allows you to shit, piss and sweat aluminum out faster than the rest of us, you’ll need a little help getting it out of your body.
Cilantro is one of the best sources for naturally chelating metals. Here’s a great recipe for Cilantro Pesto, from the tuned in and turned on, Gates 7.
Cilantro Chelation Pesto
4 cloves garlic
1/3 cup Brazil nuts (selenium)
1/3 cup sunflower seeds (cysteine)
1/3 cup pumpkin seeds (zinc, magnesium)
2 cups packed fresh cilantro (coriander, Chinese parsley) (vitamin A)
2/3 cup flaxseed oil
4 tablespoons lemon juice (vitamin C)
2 tsp dulse powder
Sea salt to taste
Process the cilantro and flaxseed oil in a blender until the coriander is chopped. Add the garlic, nuts and seeds, dulse and lemon juice and mix until the mixture is finely blended into a paste. Add a pinch to sea salt to taste and blend again. Store in dark glass jars if possible. It freezes well, so purchase cilantro in season and fill enough jars to last through the year.
Cilantro has been proven to chelate toxic metals from our bodies in a relatively short period of time. Combined with the benefits of the other ingredients, this recipe is a powerful tissue cleanser.
Two teaspoons of this pesto daily for three weeks is purportedly enough to increase the urinary excretion of mercury, lead, and aluminum, thus effectively removing these toxic metals from our bodies. We can consider doing this cleanse for three weeks at least once a year. The pesto is delicious on toast, baked potatoes, and pasta.

In the quantum now of my universe I seem to have to be posting in a different fashion, since my time has become fairly constrained for now, so instead of epic posts that are real time/energy reaches for me now, I’ll be posting more frequently but with less words, sad to say, since I love the written word and accessing it is a truly healing balm for Chiron in Aquarius in my 3rd House. It heals the eternal wound, key after key, entering and returning, activating the key shift and delete moments in my life.
Speaking of Chiron and other assorted asteroids, a story broke yesterday that “Planet Resources” a mega company funded by the founders of google and James Cameron (yes that James Cameron) are planning on mining asteroids, under the research and findings that certain asteroids could yield more platinum on one, flying speck of rock, than all the platinum mined on the history of Earth. Now this my be some astronomical hype for a titanic IPO, or it could be the next big thing in resource extraction. I think its not only interesting, but deeply ironic that Cameron made a shit load of money from a film about the egregious mining and ore extraction of an Earth company on a distant planet. Its only a movie–right?
A quick peak at yesterdays sky map shows Ceres the asteroid associated with nurturing and replenishing the essence of life at 5 degrees Taurus, conjunct the Taurus Sun, at 3 degrees. Taurus of course is emblematic of the Earth, gems, minerals, etc. Ceres in Taurus speaks of an overflow, an abundance of all things Taurus and earthy, and minerally, etc., etc. It lead the Sun when the story broke yesterday around PR’s intentions. The Taurus Sun was chasing Ceres. Vesta was at 26 degrees, in pioneering Aries. Vesta represents focus and commitment. Here in Aries, it’s all about breaking through and accessing innovation (often without a great deal of deliberation). An interesting side note is that NASA launched “Dawn” in 2007, a probe to actually interact with both Ceres and Vesta. Dawn reached Vesta in August of last year and will contact Ceres in February of 2015.
What this story really speaks to though is the technological divide that is getting wider and wider between the haves and the have nots (and this is just the permissible version of it). People like Page, Bryn, Cameron, Gates, Eric Schmidt, Peter Thiel and others are using their enormous resources to access the best minds and technologies to further separate themselves from the rest of humanity. The techno gap is getting wider, deeper and longer. But will it make their lives better? Will they all use nano-tech to prolong their lifespans to 3-400 years so that they can achieve god-like status? For those of us less monetarily endowed, I think we can all say that they can kiss our asteroids.
The eye of Sauron? I’m not reconciled at all with this upcoming eclipse. I keep going back to my last post and there’s a feeling, a vibe that I get when I finish a post, that I did not get when I published it. The feeling I get is usually a rewarding one where […]
May on 2102 The Super Moon has come and gone. The West Coast is still here. Fukushima’s reactor 4 teeters on the edge, getting ready to take most of humanity over the precipice of existence with it. But hey, Barack Obama is down with same sex marriage. Woo hoo! If reactor […]
Can you feel it? I just wouldn’t be worth my salt as an astrologer if I didn’t chime in on this Full Moon. If you subscribed to my newsletter, you’d have already gotten the low down, with a lot of the off road commentary that I don’t post on the site, but since its such […]
Happy birthday Illuminati! On the morning of May 1st, 1776, as the dawn of a new day broke across the upper Bavarian sky in Ingolstadt, a small coterie of men gathered together in a secret lodge not unlike those consecrated by the sons of Hiram Abiff. On this day a new order was being born; […]
The truth is out there . . . or in there. One of the greatest devices of derision is the ad hominem attack. It was employed by Saul Alinsky and his disciples to perfection. By the way, remember Sandra Fluke? Rush Limbaugh? Last time I checked, he was still on the air, […]

FREE ASSOCIATION RADIO
Here are some past episodes from my various programs on Free Association Radio. These are interviews with some of the leading edge thinkers on the planet, from the realms of quantum healing, ancient mysteries, exo-politics, astrology and consciousness.
David Ian Cowan (Navigating The Collapse Of Time) and Sarah Nash (The Cosmic Hooker): Quantum Healing.
From The Vaults — Interview With Kool Keith Circa 1998
I did this interview way back in 1998, when I was The Music Editor for MONDO 2000 and a contributer to Getting It, an edgier, West Coast version of The Onion.
Getting ahold of Keith Thornton was no easy feat. Talking with him appeared to be almost nearly as elusive.
Looking back at it I am struck by his honesty and trust, a trust that almost borders on naivete'. He's extremely complicated, really trying to define himself against the grain of his culture, genre and music industry. Kool Keith, Dr. Octagon, Dr. Dooom, Me. Gerbik, all his various personas comprise a strategy; part marketing, part psychological survival tool kit.
I caught up with him on the back end of his tour with DJ Spooky.
GETTINGIT: How was the tour?
KOOL KEITH: Oh, it was cool, yeah.
GI: How was it working with Spooky?
KK: He's an eccentric guy. Takes walks. Every city he would get off the bus and say that, "he wants to feel the city." [Chuckles] Then he comes back three hours later.
GI: Where are you now?
KK: Los Angeles.
GI: Is that where you're living now?
KK: Sometimes. I stay in Miami. I'm in New York for a minute sometimes.
GI: When you were in San Francisco, did you go to the Mitchell Brothers [XXX-theater]?
KK: I didn't go there. But I like it. But I also like the Pelican in Miami.
GI: Were you ever in a porn film?
KK: Nah, that's what people say. A lot of porn stars are my friends. I'm basically a cameraman -- a photographer for models with different looks.
GI: If you could star in a porn film, who would you want to do it with?
KK: Stephanie Swift.
GI: What's special about her?
KK: She looks real pretty, her eyes and stuff. She has a real different type of look. She has an innocent look. I get turned on by girls that aren't actually acting sexy. They are turned out by stuff like that.
GI: Is it the concept of turning them out and getting them freaky that turns you on?
KK: Yeah, like if I met a regular girl who got into something for the first time, something new... it's like if I had an exclusive photo of the girl instead of someone in Hustler that fifty thousand guys get to look at. It destroys the secret. It's not exclusive. I get more girls who are not fully exposed in the industry; they're more a collectible type item. It's like if you had a picture of Britney Spears in lingerie for yourself, versus her stripping in Playboy. It's something like that.
GI: Is that why you have all the different personas -- keeping the identity fresh, exclusive?
KK: Well basically, I enjoy the music industry in a different way. I have to constantly break myself down. One side of me wants to go to the mall as Kool Keith, and then there's another side as Black Elvis that I can show the world and they can take pictures and camera me. I have an image so that I can go to the mall and shop. I'm not obsessed with being recognized. It saves me from a lot of hassle. I want to be known for my art and creation of music.
It's like a Batman and Robin thing. With Alfred and them, they were always upstairs chillin', havin' cups of tea and talkin'. When they went to see the Joker and stuff, they were Batman and Robin. I kinda like that. I don't need the world in my business. I don't need secret cameramen walkin' around takin' pictures of me like "hey there's Keith in his baseball cap eating cake." That's why I wear the Black Elvis wig and glasses. I'm givin' that energy out to the world. It's like Peter Parker, Spider-Man, and Adam West.
GI: Why Black Elvis?
KK: The height of my career. I have to give my own self credit and props. I had to give my own self leverage so people could write me up in issues and columns and books and stuff. I had to fill my own time, blow my own horn. At the end of the day they might not put me in categories. They might not put me in categories and rate me high up as the top or greatest rappers or top MCs. I had to do it myself. Because if I hadn't done it, people would have acted like they couldn't see it. They see me as Black Elvis, cuz I had deserved to be Elvis, not Elvis Presley, but the Elvis of rap.
GI: Have you been to Graceland?
KK: I need to go over to the auction and get some stuff.
GI: If you could get anything of Elvis', what would it be?
KK: The car and the belt.
GI: The Cadillac?
KK: Yeah.
GI: Have you ever been in a movie?
KK: I did one movie, Champions with Ken Shamrock. It was on Showtime. Danny Trejo was in it. It was a movie about kickboxing -- fighting Octagon-style. Remember when it was that type of fighting, when dudes had to die?
GI: Yeah.
KK: So it was a movie like that. It was kinda crazy. You can rent it at Blockbuster.
GI: Nothing other than that?
KK: Nothin' but those Sprite commercials.
GI: What kind of movie would you want to be in?
KK: I would want to play a role other than a typical rap guy. I want to play roles that people wouldn't think I would play. I want to be in action films... do somethin' different. Like a horror film, a lawyer, an ill doctor or somethin' like that.
GI: Did you really get a million dollars from Sprite?
KK: Yeah.
GI: What did you do with all of that money?
KK: I enjoy my life.
GI: On Spooky's Riddim Warfare, you did a track called "Object Unknown." It was about seeing UFOs in Brooklyn. Did you really see one?
KK: [Laughter] I seen different shit walkin' around the Bronx at night. I mean I've seen different things. But I had no witness to cover me.
GI: What did you see?
KK: I seen some flyin' shit. It wasn't no airplane.
GI: What did it look like?
KK: It was round, like some Saturn shit around it. It wasn't no blimp either. It was ill; it was like, "what the fuck was that?" It wasn't a fuckin' airplane.
GI: So when you saw that object in the Bronx, was that your inspiration?
KK: It was some fuckin' crazy shit. It bugged me out. I thought it was some kind of naval testing thing. They have stealth shit. But it wasn't that.
GI: Have you ever met David Bowie?
KK: No. I've seen him a lot. Different places. He goes with Iman right?
GI: Yeah.
KK: He's lucky he came up on Iman. I had a girl like that once in Amsterdam. She was an Ethiopian girl -- little smaller.
GI: What was she like?
KK: She was nice.
GI: Do you like bowlegged women?
KK: It depends. I've been with a lot of different culture type people -- from black girls to white girls. There's a difference in both. Some girls are open-minded, some are very standard. Women have an American standard that's boring sometimes. The corny movie thing, the going out to dinner, that proves to me that you like me. Nobody goes to do something different, like play pinball. Everybody's family-programmed.
GI: What are some of the differences between black women and white women?
KK: From my experience, black girls are more materialistic and wantin' to know what you have -- what you own. And they have big expectations, which makes it hard for a black guy because he has to go to extremes to impress. They're more into the name of what's on the back of your shirt tag. You can't wear nuthin' without inspection,[femme persona] "ooh is that made by Calvin Klein?"
White girls are very open. I notice a lot of [black] guys datin' white chicks. A white girl might help you out because you don't have to go to the far extreme to impress with clothing. You could drive a Ford Pinto. They could care less. It's a total difference. Like with black girls, you could be a college football player and they won't know nuthin' about you. But when you get in the NFL, now they know you.
And then there's geographic differences -- like between California and New York. These girls in New York expect to be with NBA players and they have these bullshit weaves sewn in. In California, you're talkin' to a beautiful model -- you're used to talkin' to beautiful at like the Beverly Center, and then you go to New York and see some ugly girl with high expectations. I was just in Miami. I just left a beautiful place with beautiful fuckin' models and they were talkin' to me, treatin' me nice, givin' me respect and havin' drinks. Then you get to New York and there's some ugly bitch with a messed up weave with some bullshit shoes on, fat stomach, out of shape. And she's actin' like she's the shit. It takes you down. I learned that from music and travelin' around the world.
By me bein' Black Elvis, it's like some algebra problem [black women] can't solve. That is so hard to comprehend -- a black rock star. I'm not a materialistic person. Just because I'm not like Boyz II Men, that doesn't mean that I'm not black. Or I'm not runnin' around murderin' everybody -- they're materialistic. I just think it's ignorant.
GI: Did you ever see [John Sayles'] Brother From Another Planet?
KK: Yeah.
GI: What did you think about it?
KK: It was just some different shit. It was a nice movie. Like maybe blacks didn't support that film either. He didn't do a typical simple-assed movie. It was just low budget. He was just walkin around -- [laughs to himself] kinda like me.
