Aquarius Keynote
“Water of life am I, poured forth for those who thirst.”
(Full Moon February 9, 2020. 7.33 am UT.)
“The bulk, however, of the world initiates climax their experience in Aquarius and become liberated world
servers. They turn their backs upon all further progress for themselves in this cycle and on all satisfaction
of their own spiritual aspiration and become carriers of the water of life to humanity, joining thus the ranks
of the Hierarchy.”1
Aquarius rules over electricity – from the gross to more subtle forms. The following passage is related to a
2018 discussion of Aquarius and the mysterious plasma or electro-magnetic vital fluid – the waters poured
forth by the Aquarian Water-Bearer:
“Aquarius, we are told, governs the blood system and its circulation. By
means of the blood, the life force is distributed throughout the entire
human body. It is, therefore, symbolic of the task of the liberated Aquarian
who dispenses spiritual life throughout the fourth kingdom in nature.3
The life force is anchored in the heart by the “life thread”. The heart is
controlled by electrical contractions that pound out the mantra of 72 beats
per minute, pumping the lifeforce-bearing blood around the body. Polar
opposite Leo, is the ruler of the heart centre and the physical heart – hence
the vitality and power of the solar life in that sign:
“There is a thread of energy, which we call the life or spirit aspect, anchored in the heart. It uses the blood
stream, as is well known, as its distributing agency and, through the medium of the blood, life-energy
carries regenerating power and coordinating energy to all the physical organisms and keeps the body
“whole.””4
This mysterious life thread originates in the monad (the essential
source for every human) – and is anchored in the heart, the seat
of life. Likewise, the consciousness thread of the three-fold
antahkarana derives from the soul and is anchored in the head,
the seat of consciousness. A third thread of creative activity – is
constructed by each individual and is anchored eventually in the
throat centre – a synthesis of the other two threads.
“Aquarius … is … connected with the physical permanent atom which is, as you know, upon the etheric
level. It is this individual web which is the medium of relationship to the whole. The universal
consciousness of Aquarius becomes expressive just in so far as the individual etheric body is in conscious
relation with the etheric body of humanity, the solar system and—of course—the planet.”5
1. The Moon veiling Vulcan, rules the etheric vehicle – from the circulatory angle.
2. Venus rules the nervous system.
3. Neptune rules the blood stream.
4. Saturn rules the endocrine system.6

“Astral energies emanating from the new sign of the zodiac into which we
are now entering, the sign Aquarius. This sign, that of the water-carrier, is
a living sign and an emotional sign. It will (through the effect of its potent
force) stimulate … astral bodies … into a new
coherency, into a brotherhood of humanity
which will ignore all racial and national
Bridal Veil Falls, Yosemite differences and will carry the life … forward
National Park (© 2008 Paul into synthesis and unity.
Veilleux)
This means a tide of unifying life of such power
that one cannot now vision it, but which—in a thousand years—will have
welded all mankind into a perfect brotherhood. Its emotional effect will be to
“purify” the astral bodies … so that the material world ceases to hold such
potent allure, and may in its later stages bring about a state of exaggeration
as potent in the line of sentiency, as that which we have undergone in the line
of materiality!”7
Only a thousand years – not long to wait in the greater scheme of things!
This will occur half-way through the age of Aquarius, in the Mercury-ruled decanate. Mercury embodies in
its highest expression – the buddhic principle.
The purification of Humanity’s astral body will be a great revolution in consciousness, recalling the
eleventh Aquarian labour of Hercules where he diverts a mighty river to cleanse the accumulated filth of
the Augean stables. When that inner purification occurs, the world will be free from pollution upon the
physical plane.
When the polar opposite sign of Aquarius is considered – Leo, traditionally a fire sign, symbolising the
mind, it also has a potent emotional component that is the basis of Leonine passion – and its “hearty”
compassion. Leo rules the astral permanent atom, where is stored the sum of emotional experiences in all
incarnations:
“Leo—is connected with the astral permanent atom, for the
reason that desire or the power to go forth and occultly touch
that which is desired is the basis of all sense of awareness or
responsiveness and the underlying cause of progress or
evolutionary movement forward; it is the keynote of the
[wo]man who has achieved that true “self-centred” attitude
which makes him an individual.
This “self-centred attitude” of Leo repolarises toward upliftment of the whole, symbolised by Aquarius –
the World Server who, “becomes a carrier of the water of life to humanity.”
On December 20, 2020 (20-20-20), during and following the era of several planets passing through
Capricorn, the conjunction of Saturn-Jupiter in Aquarius offers a glimpse of the Age of Aquarius on the
immediate horizon. Saturn rules the first decanate of Aquarius – and Jupiter is that sign’s esoteric ruler,
hence this conjunction has much to offer. First, let us consider Saturn:
This “new world” is the Age of Aquarius – a sign of the fixed cross that a large proportion of Humanity is
“mounting” en masse, after treading the way of the mutable cross for countless aeons. Saturn will
condition the first 720 years of this first decanate of Aquarius from 2,117 onward (till 2,837), but its
influence is already available for those sensitive enough to respond:
“Humanity is beginning to mount the Fixed Cross of the disciple, thus reversing its progress upon the circle
of the Zodiac. Humanity—as a whole and owing to the large proportion of aspirants and thinking idealists—
is entering Aquarius, via the open door of Saturn.”11
“Can we infer from these patterns and apply the higher model
in coordination that the sign of the Messiah in Aquarius may
occur when Saturn and Jupiter are in conjunction in
Aquarius?”15
Given the fact that Hierarchy will meet at the 2025 conclave to
Christ as the Redeemer of Man (William Blake)
decide a date to externalise, many arrangements must be
made. The externalising of many of the Master’s ashrams will occur, to pave the way in public life for the
appearance of various Masters, let alone the final culmination – the Christ who will take the rare option of
incarnating in a physical form again:
“The influence
which emanates
from the Pole Star … such a potent factor in our solar system,
reaches our planet via the sign Aquarius. The reasons will be noted
if the student bears in mind the significance of water as a symbol of
the emotions, which are but a lower manifestation of love-desire.
Aquarius is a force centre from which the adept draws the “water of
life” and carries it to the multitude. This force from the Pole Star,
via Aquarius, is of special power at this time and the day of
opportunity is therefore great. It is one of the agencies which make
the coming of the Great Lord a possibility.”18
“Much of the success in the coming momentous years is dependent upon the work done by all who may be
affiliated (even slightly) with the New Group of World Servers … the prophesied end is inevitable … the
margin of difference will also be only between one hundred and three hundred years. The impulse towards
synthesis is now too strong to be long delayed.”19
Hence, despite misgivings about the seemingly insurmountable problems this planet faces today, the
Hierarchy are confident that the Planetary Plan will eventually proceed! In summary, the following table
has been created to track these cycles:
Aquarius and Group Co-Operation
“In Aquarius, the polar opposite of Leo and its sign of consummation,
[s]he becomes outgoing; there is no centre or circle of circumscribed
influence but only two outgoing lines of energy, pouring … into the
world … The self-conscious individual in Leo becomes the conscious
server in Aquarius, and this is well expressed for us in the symbols of
these two signs. The Aquarian is consecrated to group service and to the welfare of
humanity.”20
“All world servers are decentralised workers and are governed by the need

enlightened world server.
when in training, disciples are absorbed into a Master’s group which is
(See analysis.)
integrally a collection of individuals who are imbued with the group idea and
are learning increasingly to react to it.”22
The Master’s group is one of the 49 inner ashrams to which all human souls eventually gravitate –
according to soul ray. These seven ray soul groups with their seven subsidiary ray colourings, all reside
with the One Ashram of the Christ, serving the Planetary Plan and Purpose in every conceivable area of
human endeavour.
Along with her husband, she took part in expeditions of hard-to-reach and little-
investigated regions of Central Asia. She was an Honorary President-Founder of the Institute of Himalayan
Studies “Urusvati” in India and co-author of the idea of the International Treaty for Protection of Artistic
and Scientific Institutions and Historical Monuments (Roerich Pact). She translated two volumes of the
Secret Doctrine of H. P. Blavatsky, and also selected Mahatma’s Letters (Cup of the East), from English to
Russian.”23
Helena Roerich (Note because of high latitude birthplace, the “whole sign” house system has been used.)
The foregoing is a mere glimpse of some of Helena Roerich’s achievements. HR’s spiritual name was
Urusvati, which means the Morning Star – or Venus. (Venus-Lucifer, in Latin, “light-bringer”). Venus is the
ruler of the fifth ray of science/knowledge and the only ray to pass through Aquarius in this cycle.
The appearance of Venus at every day’s dawn carries much beauty and mystery about the evolution of our
precious planet, regarded esoterically as the “lower self” of
Venus. Venus is a “sacred planet” whilst Earth is a “non-sacred
planet” – evolving toward the status of Venus and the other
sacred planets in the solar system. Some words about Urusvati
from the book Agni Yoga, transmitted by her Master Morya:
In Esoteric Astrology, the personality is represented by the sun sign and the soul expression by the rising
sign. HR was an Aquarian personality, hence very receptive to fresh frequencies streaming in from this
sign – on its imminent approach for the next 2,000 year cycle:
As mentioned earlier, these seemingly disparate themes can be explained by the rulers of Aquarius –
Uranus and Jupiter. Uranus covers the domain of the scientific mind (exoteric and esoteric), whilst Jupiter’s
jurisdiction is the humanitarian and healer. Yet both planets cross over into one another’s domain.
The motivation for the revolutionary stems from the Uranus-Aquarian force that seeks to reform the status
quo of the previous sign Capricorn (the “urge to better conditions”) – plus the humanitarian influence of
the Love-Wisdom planet/ray – Jupiter. Some further definitions of Uranus and Jupiter:
“Uranus—Occult consciousness or that intelligent, fusing condition which produces the scientific at-one-
ment of the two factors, higher and lower self, through the intelligent use of the mind … Uranus gives
innate spontaneous activity and this produces evolutionary development—both natural and spiritual. It is
the urge to better conditions … Uranus—Ray Seven—The will to be and to know simultaneously on all
planes of manifestation.
Jupiter gives an inherent tendency to fusion which nothing can arrest. The achievement of ultimate
synthesis is inevitable, and this Jupiter promotes … Jupiter—Ray Two—The fusion of heart and mind, which
is the subjective purpose of manifestation. This is brought about through the third and the seventh ray
activity on the
exoteric wheel.”27
Helena Roerich has been assigned by some students a second ray personality – that would have found a
more than adequate expression through her Sun-Jupiter conjunction in Aquarius. She was a lover and a
teacher of the Wisdom. Likewise, as the disciple of Master Morya’s ashram, she was a first ray soul that
expressed potently through first ray Aries rising.
Positively, this Sun square Pluto aspect would have given her a potency in helping to break down and help
destroy aspects of crystallised personality represented by the sun sign – continuous self-transformation.
Negatively, a dominating and ruthless personality. The Sun-Pluto square is also part of a “grand square” or
cross, with the Moon in Scorpio and the Earth in Leo – more on this later.
HR’s Mars was well placed – exalted in Capricorn, conjunct the midheaven
(career) and, the most elevated planet in the horoscope, giving it great power.
(There is a book by HR called The Leader. Another biography, Helena Roerich:
Living Ethics and the Teaching for a New Epoch.)
Of course, every planetary energy has a higher and lower expression. In this case, higher Mars is striving
toward the mountain top of initiation in Capricorn, as a somewhat formidable figure in her culture. Mars in
Capricorn can create a struggle between the lower material inclinations and the higher spiritual
aspirations. Negatively, Mars in this position can be prideful and condescending, seeking social status and
prestige – a possible factor for Roerich – raised within the cultural conditioning of Russian aristocracy.
Mars is square to Saturn in Aries, an aspect that can create a tough, unyielding or unforgiving nature.
Mars and Saturn are also in mutual reception – Mars tenants the sign of Capricorn ruled by Saturn, whilst
Saturn is placed in Aries ruled by Mars. Mutual reception planets strengthen one another and take on some
of each other’s attributes.
Mars is also the ruler of HR’s moon in Scorpio, hence this square aspect represented a large cross for her
to bear in that lifetime. Saturn is the mind and its square to Mars is the challenge control of the astral
body by the mind – much frustration can come from such an aspect. With Saturn square to Mars
(especially in Capricorn on the midheaven), the individual can be very competitive, but it also brings
courage and stamina:
The esoteric ruler of HR’s Aries soul purpose is Mercury the Messenger – also
placed in Aquarius; it is very intuitive in this sign and square to psychically
sensitive Neptune, the co-ruler of the solar plexus. The square aspect
between these two planets, lies at the heart of HR’s amanuensis skills – but
also her imperfections – allowing fear or paranoia to cloud thinking, perhaps
to even fall prey to mediumism.
Ironically, HR railed against mediumism but it seems that she projected this
fear upon others such as Alice and Foster Bailey, C.W. Leadbeater etc. (As
revealed in her letters about those individuals.) However, when HR’s Aries
rising and Aquarian personality are considered together:
“Aries, the Inaugurator, is rendered effective on the Earth through the organising potency of Uranus. Aries
is the source, the beginning and the initiator of the New Age and its coming civilisations, of the appearance
of the kingdom of God on earth and also of the individual initiate into the Mysteries. Aquarius is the
present Determiner of the future. That which is now initiated in Aries will become manifested in Aquarius,
and Libra will enforce the achievement of a point of balance or (esoterically speaking) of the “escape from
opposing forces at the midway point between the source and the goal.””30
HR’s moon was in Scorpio, as her portrait suggests in, Messenger of Beauty:
The Life and Visionary Art of Nicholas Roerich. (Sun, moon and rising sign all
contribute to physical appearance.) This is an important consideration, as the
Scorpio moon closely opposes Scorpio ruler – Pluto in Taurus.
Scorpio Moon can have problems with power, spite, revenge, jealousy,
possessiveness and hatred. All the “heads of the hydra” – the scorpion with a
sting in its tail; some of the most negative emotions are amplified in the
“spiritually advanced” who are wrestling with the Dweller on the Threshold.
The Moon is the unconscious part of an horoscope – the source of much inner
and outer conflict. The moon is also the co-ruler of the fourth ray of Harmony
through Conflict, the only ray to pass through Scorpio – and most likely a ray
in HR’s ray structure – mind/personality perhaps.
The most august Chohan, The Scorpio moon widely squares fourth ray ruler Mercury in Aquarius, with
Morya.
regard to thought processes getting tangled with an intensely emotional
nature – hence compounding the challenge of Mercury’s existing square to
Neptune.
Like other advanced teachers such as Krishnamurti, Helena Roerich had her human imperfections, yet the
overall thrust and achievement of her life was triumphant – leaving a long lasting legacy for which
students of The Wisdom will be eternally grateful.
Venus has just entered Pisces and will remain there for three
weeks (till Feb.7), bringing its unique flavour of unconditional
love-wisdom, compassion, creativity and forgiveness to the
world. There is however, a whole other dimension to Venus –
the ruler of the fifth ray of mind, knowledge, science. Esoteric
astrology students often find it difficult to reconcile this
perspective with the traditional view of Venus – goddess of
love, beauty, sex and relationships.
One way to understand Venus The Birth of Venus (Henry Courtney Selous).
in this respect, is through its Note the Neptune symbolism, co-ruler of
Pisces the Fishes.
esoteric rulership of another
mutable sign Gemini – a major
sign of relationships in general, through right communication. As esoteric
ruler of this sign, Venus balances the pairs of opposites upon the mental
plane, creating harmony and beauty. This balance and blending of opposites
precipitates onto the astral plane where Venus expresses its most
commonly known attributes.
The Science of Esoteric Astrology takes into consideration that everyone is at different stages of soul
evolution, responding in different ways to the planets and signs according to their developed
consciousness. (As per the previous diagram on the crosses.) There are at least two expressions of signs
and planets, even three – lower, intermediate and higher. This fact explains why an individual may not
connect with a reading given by one astrologer, but will with another. The Tibetan states,
“Esoterically, the reason that Venus is exalted in Pisces is connected with the relation of Pisces to the sign
Gemini, of which Venus is the esoteric ruler, and also in relation to the fact that Venus is the Earth’s alter
ego and is closely related to the human kingdom.”32
When the second and fifth rays are viewed on the colour wheel, they
are opposite one another – with the second ray indigo blue opposite
the fifth ray orange. This is another profound symbol of the earlier
noted duality of heart and mind. Esoteric Astrology helps us to
understand the nature of duality and its eventual synthesis into unity
– particularly when considering a sign as part of a cross of four signs.
The Tibetan continues his commentary on Venus in Pisces, bearing in
mind that the second ray of Love-Wisdom finds a direct expression through the three mutable sign of
Pisces-Virgo and Gemini:
“The Fishes in Pisces are bound together, as we have seen, and this is a
symbol of the captivity of the soul in form, prior to the experience upon
the Fixed Cross. The Twins in Gemini are symbols of the same basic
duality, but the experience of the many changing incarnations has done
its work, and the Band (uniting the two fishes) is in process of
dissolution, for part of the work of Pluto is to “cut the thread which
binds the two opposing lives together.” It is the task of Venus to
“reunite the severed lives but with no binding thread.”33
As the Aquarian cycle unfolds for the next two milleniums, the
Science of Initiation (a sub-science of Esoteric Astrology), will
find its rightful place – and group initiation will be the norm.
Humanity will reach unprecedented heights of spiritual
development in the Aquarian Age, but before then it has much
work to do – right here, right now!
All “dweller fellas” are the sum total of divergence from spiritual law –
misplaced or “evil” desires, wrong choices, mistakes and weaknesses
that have found distorted or perverse expression over many lifetimes –
physically, emotionally or mentally; it is not just the astral plane
involved – yet the astral is the main realm of “hell” for Humanity.
Hence, the threshing floor that separates the wheat from the
chaff, is the “thrashing floor” of initiation – where the golden
sattvas or seeds of life experiences are extracted – to be
stored in the great “grain bin” of the soul’s causal body.
Wheat and chaff are symbolically the soul and the
personality.
“The Lords of Karma on our system are under the rule of a greater Lord of
Karma on Sirius. We are governed by the Sirian Lord of Karma.”38
The global dweller embraces the dwellers of nations – especially in the USA,
where arguably the world soul and world dweller face off to one another. The
great conflict proceeds and the impeachment proceedings against Donald
Trump are part of that process. (More later on Trump’s very sobering Saturn
transits.)
When these qualities are combined with Mars the god of war,
the degree of instability is increased. Mars rules the solar
plexus, seat of the emotions – the source of Sagittarian impulsiveness and fanaticism. Placed in
Sagittarius, Mars represents a powerful drive to seek the truth and travel to the ends of the Earth – the
rollicking adventurer with an urgent will to know.
But the Mars in Sag shadow expresses the worst of fundamentalism – not only in religion, but in any realm
of human thought – sciences, arts, politics etc. Fundamentalism is essentially an emotional adherence to
ideas – being a Believer rather than a Knower.
USA also has strong Sagittarian features – through its personality expression in the political capital
Washington, DC – and through the rising sign of the 1776 Declaraton of Independence horoscope.
Therefore, this nation is very sensitive to a transit from Mars in Sagittarius, especially when it will oppose
its natal Mars in Gemini, in early February. That transit of Mars conjoins Trump’s erratic moon in
Sagittarius during that time.
“Mars … rules … the individual … as that individual responds to mass vibration in Sagittarius … Mars [rules]
… the lunar lords of the form nature who must eventually be sacrificed to the higher spiritual aspect and
brought under the control of the solar Angel [the soul]. The effect of Mars is, therefore, largely mass effect
and group results, producing great struggles but leading finally to great revelation.”39
Hence today, there is an US President with the moon in Sagittarius, surrounded by fanatical idealists: The
“two Mikes” – Pompeo and Pence – fundamentalist Christians who both cite evangelical theology as a
powerful motivating force.
Along with other fanatical US politicians, from Hillary Clinton to John Bolton and Nikki Haley – the US has
been “itching” to find an excuse to attack Iran for years. Hence, the US attack on one of Iran’s top
generals, Soleimani – with the alleged complicity of Saudi Arabia and Israel.
These are
the

and

by the

some of the
most crystallised, fanatical and “Piscean” of all the Christian

in the world now – as that time arrived:
“The rapture invokes an apocalyptical Christian vision of the future, a final battle between good and evil,
and the second coming of Jesus Christ, when the faithful will ascend to heaven and the rest will go to
hell.”40 Well, paradoxically this is true – as esotericism relates! The Master Jesus, along with the other
Masters are set to re-externalise among Humanity.within this century.
And then there is Iran with its archaic Piscean fundamentalist religion, Islam. Witness the poor 56 souls
who were crushed to death in a stampede at Qassem Soleimani’s funeral – another example of the
crippling fanaticism and hysteria of Mars and the sixth ray.
May we not buy into that propaganda and react like Pavlov’s dogs every time something dramatic like this
occurs! More than often, it is the puppeteers of propaganda pulling the proverbial strings. There is a very
good chance that the USA has no intention of starting any war with Iran, as the
latest back-peddling news stories suggested just a few days after the event.
Regarding a world war, the following quote has been speculated upon a lot by
students in the past ten years:
“Orthodox Judaism … the other faiths, should realise that there is no desire to
make them Christian … but that they should all move towards some loving
synthesis and eliminate their mutual antagonisms and rivalries is equally urgent,
and this statement includes the Christian faiths as well.
That the Vatican cease its political scheming, its exploitation of the masses and
its emphasis upon ignorance is as important; that the manifold divisions of the
Protestant churches be bridged is imperative. If none of these things happen,
humanity is headed towards a religious war which will make the past war [WWII] appear like child’s play;
antagonisms and hatreds will embroil entire populations and the politicians of all the nations will take full
advantage of the situation to precipitate a war which may well prove the end of humanity. There are no
hatreds so great or so deep as those fostered by religion.”41
The full moon of Capricorn 2020 completed a period of focus for the New Group of World Servers – to
consolidate their building processes began at the Capricorn solstice and World Servers week 2019: To
bring a calming force into the planetary atmosphere, through personal and group meditations, directing
energy through the five planetary centres; to invoke the avatar known as the Spirit of Peace – whose
approach to Humanity draws ever closer – on the lead up to 2025 and the next phase of the Planetary
Plan.
Trump’s sensitivity to criticism is well known, though he is not averse to throwing plenty out! Venus
conjunct Saturn repesents great devotion to his family and a somewhat “tribal” survival consciousness
which is rooted in the sacral centre. The other factor with a Pluto-Saturn opposition is the revelation of
family activities, past or current – and with natal Venus involved, even a breakup of his marriage. This
Venus-Saturn conjunction sits on USA’s Mercury in Cancer, hence his nation is the extended family, to
which he is loyal and devotional – in his own unique way!
Venus-Saturn are planets that are both concerned with money –
there are many billionaires that have Venus-Saturn aspects in their
horoscopes: Jeff Bezos, Bill Gates, Mark Zuckerberg – to name a
few. Here is the “hoarding” mentality of Cancer the Crab – the
amassing of wealth.
Yet Trump’s track record financially is abysmal and has always been
overstated or lied about, due to Cancer ruler, Moon in “exaggitarius” – opposite his Gemini sun. (His
mantra of “lying Hillary” is the greatest projection!) Therefore Trump’s financial situation may be
drastically exposed and battered in 2020 – by Pluto the Revealer. If the horoscope of the leader of the
nation says something about the nation, then the USA could also go into a major recession, a possibility
that is already “on the cards”.
Bear in mind that USA is entering its first ever 248 year-cycle
of the Pluto return in the next few years. In the USA’s 1776
horoscope, Pluto in Capricorn is in the second house of
money and resources, representing the vast wealth of this
nation. Hence, this Saturn-Pluto conjunction opposite USA’s
Mercury in Cancer/Trump’s Venus-Saturn in Cancer, marks
the first stage of the Pluto return by 2022. Esoterically,
Saturn in Cancer is expressed most poignantly in an oft-
quoted paragraph:
“In this sign Saturn is in the home of its detriment and thus
produces those difficult conditions and situations which will
lead to the needed struggle. This makes Cancer a place of
symbolic and emphasises the pains and penalties of wrong
orientation.
It is the conflict of the soul with its environment—consciously or unconsciously carried on—which leads to
the penalties of incarnation and which provides those conditions of suffering which the soul has willingly
undertaken when—with open eyes and clear vision—the soul chose the path of earth life with all its
sacrifices and pains consequent, in order to salvage the lives with which it had an affinity.”43
Indeed, will Trump experience – unlike any other time in his life, “the pains and penalties of wrong
orientation … the penalties of incarnation and … conditions of suffering”? And how possible is the higher
potential of this position – “salvaging of the lives with which it had an affinity”? The only real “affinity”
evidenced thus far has been financial – big tax breaks for billionaires.
If there was a recession in the USA over the next few years,
there might be the possibility of a “financial reset” that leads to a
fairer redistribution of wealth. From this perspective, it is
impossible to separate Trump’s horoscope from the nation’s
fortunes.
It appears that overall, if Trump thinks he is having difficulties now, the next two years could see the
transit of Saturn bring the full weight of the law to bear – with Plutonic ruthlessness; he has been involved
in continuous litigation virtually from the time he took office – part of his personality revels in it, but the
game is shifting to another level now. As an “apprentice” in the world of politics, he may very well hear
that phrase for which he was so fond of delivering – “you’re fired”! Commenting upon this Saturn-Pluto
opposition to Trump’s Venus-Saturn, another astrologer says,
This configuration Trump now will experience for the next three
calendar years is not at all indicative of wild, runaway popularity, nor of
easy success, nor of automatic release from the serious charges now
levelled against him in numerous courts of law throughout the United
States, and one quite possibly soon to be lodged against him in the
International Court of Justice by Iran.
If the American Republican Party thinks they have found their ideal Bernie Sanders, the best challenger
to Trump thus far.
poster-boy in the figure of Trump, they will without a doubt find out
differently over the next three years as these transits to Trump’s chart
unfold.
A few poll numbers collected over the last week hint at or perhaps even
nakedly reveal the direction of public sentiment in regard to Trump.
According to a CNN poll taken during the days of the ongoing Senate trial,
51% of voting age Americans want Trump convicted of the impeachment
charges and removed from office. This level of oppositional sentiment is
higher even than the mere 46% desire for conviction and removal which
turned against Nixon shortly before he was forced to resign.
Hence, Trump is in a zone of greater political danger than was Nixon, who
left the presidential office in disgrace after having been found to have
committed a number of offenses. This means that Trump does not have the
public support claimed by his party. Further, another poll shows that 60% of voting age Americans
disapprove of the attitudes and actions of Trump’s right-hand man in the Senate, Republican Majority
Leader Mitch McConnell, another indication that the Republican Party does not have the grip on the
American psyche that its leadership claims.”44
Moscow: Aquarius personality, Taurus soul. The esoteric community might do well to take
notice of Putin’s rather intricate and ambitious
plan, domestically and internationally. Far from being a simplistic “grab for power”, many parts of his plan
are an ideal blueprint for nations. Russia does not want conflict with USA or NATO nations, but has been
forced to develop more sophisticated weapons because of the reinstatement of the cold war by the USA.
Russia’s wellbeing is the world’s wellbeing, particularly for
its two current and largest adversaries – Britain and the
USA. This is most ironic because spiritually speaking, the
three nations have a destiny as a triangle in the Aquarian
age.
“Is this a move away from democracy, as some people are suggesting?
Yes, it is. But perhaps we should leave the paradigm where democracy
is “good” and autocracy is “bad”, because on the modern scene of
technocratic globalisation, everything that protects the grassroots
becomes a positive thing.
a. Russia, fusing and blending eastern Europe and western and northern Asia.
b. The United States (and later South America), fusing and blending central and western Europe and the
entire western hemisphere.
c. The British Empire, fusing and blending races and men throughout the entire world.
Out of these three groups, two are ruled by Aquarius at the soul level – Russian and the USA.49 (The only
other nation with Aquarius ruling at the soul level is The Netherlands.) It is appropriate that two of these
three nations have Aquarian “guidance” at the beginning of the Aquarian Age.
Moscow also has an Aquarian personality, contributing further to Russia’s vast scientific prowess,
unconventionality, rebelliousness and individualism. (The latter its Leo personality!) The following was
written in the 1940’s but is still true today:
“Russia is a giant, getting into his stride—a young giant, aware of great possibility, animated by a deeply
religious [sixth ray], though unorthodox [Aquarius] spirit, handicapped by a combination of oriental traits
and occidental purposes, and distrusted by the world, owing to earlier moves falsely taken.
These moves were an attempt to infiltrate into other nations, in order to upset their stability and so
weaken them that they could be easily swept into the house of humanity which Russia is attempting to
build. Russia is inwardly (but as yet unconsciously) motivated by a desire to bring brotherhood into
being.”50
As an Aquarian soul working through its capital Moscow – an Aquarian personality, Russia is uniquely
positioned to illuminate the Aquarian tenets of brotherhood and co-operation in the world:
“The true secret of brotherhood (one hitherto unknown and unrealized) is hers to give the world, but as
yet she knows not what it is. This fact, that Russia is the spiritual custodian of a revelation, is sensed by
the other nations in the world; and the first reaction has been fear, based on certain initial mistakes and
her premature activity upon the physical plane.
Nevertheless, all peoples view Russia with expectation; they dimly realize that from her will come some
new thing, for Russia is rapidly maturing and integrating and will demonstrate that she has much to
give.”52
It is noteworthy that several towering teachers of the ageless wisdom emerged from the soul of Russia:
Helena P. Blavatsky, Nicholas and Helena Roerich, George Gurdjieff etc. Imagine what else might reside
within the soul of this “slumbering” but awakening giant?
Banner of Peace (Nicholas Roerich)
“Jared Kushner told CNN that the Palestinians have repeatedly missed opportunities to make peace and
urged them to accept the deal if they wanted a state of their own. “If they don’t, then they’re going to
screw up another opportunity like they’ve screwed up every other
opportunity that they’ve ever had in their existence,” he said.
Tony Blair, the former British prime minister who then became a
Middle East peace envoy, also appealed to the Palestinians to
embrace negotiations saying the plan offered a last hope. “The
American peace plan is an extraordinarily detailed and thorough
attempt to set out a plan for a two-state solution,” he said in a
statement. “The Palestinians do not need to signal acceptance of the
plan, but to engage with the American government and demand the
improvements to it they wish to see.””53
Israel’s transits and progressions on the day of the ‘peace plan’ announcement.
Also prominent, is the transit of Uranus in Taurus (Israel’s sun sign) square to the progressed Sun in Leo
(for the past year and for another month), further exacerbating a “me first” mentality of dominance and
Israeli tribal pride. Observers have stated that this plan will push Israel into a deeper apartheid state that
may have the unintended consequences of Israel branded more widely as a pariah nation – and ultimately
not surviving.
Other problems not directly related to the Leo moon are continuous
and devious exploitation of Holocaust remembrance and the need to
root out ultra-Zionist right wing fanatics. Indeed, as stated by many
observers, Israel has recreated the cruelties of WWII’s Warsaw ghetto
by herding Palestinians in portions of the West Bank – that lack
adequate basics of living like clean water and electricity. The simple The Lion of Judah is actually The
Christ. Judah was an ancient

might be true for the powerful minority of right wing Zionists. But
there is also ethnic discrimination, even though Israeli’s and Palestinians are part of the same Semitic
subrace – there are internecine branchrace issues that are very ancient.
The higher way involves much soul searching and reflection, Israel embracing its collective shadow and
allowing the soul to take control. During this period, Saturn touches briefly on the Aquarian ascendant in
May 2021, before returning exactly by mid-January 2022; by that time, the world will know whether Israel
has risen to its occasion.

Coronavirus
“The scourge of influenza has its roots in fear and worry.”
Although the coronavirus comes from animals, it can give flu like
symptoms and is a disease which affects and engenders fear in the
masses. In this era of fear and trepidation, of existential threats and
world events, often further manipulated by various agencies, there
is nothing like a virus scare to compound the existing problem!
2. They are so highly infectious from the astral point of view that they lower in a
peculiar manner the astral atmosphere, and thus make it hard for people—in the
astral sense—to breathe freely.
3. Because the astral conditions of fear, worry and irritation are so widespread
today that they might be regarded as epidemic, in a planetary sense.
4. Because irritation (I speak not here of worry) is inflammatory in its effects—and inflammation is hard to
bear—and leads to much difficulty.”54
