In the same way that the fabric through which we have created reality has been truly exposed, offering us an opportunity to envision a different world, a different society, a different life, a process that has been acute since the collapse of the financial world in 2008, the time ahead will offer us the opportunity…
You may have been taught to rely upon those in authority, be it a teacher, parent, guru or government, but it is clear that times, they are a-changin and the old order is struggling to cling to an out-moulded cast. You will never really know how things might be if you come together in unity,…
It is funny how pervasive the language of determinism is within the way in which people write on our cosmological environment. It is as if many believe that the language of the stars defines our reality, when in actuality that we live in a rhythmically conscious, vibratory field of which we are part of. Their…
Ah the language of ‘Air’ – we live in a simulation; AI bots taking over our Art, our writing, our music; we can upload our consciousness to the cloud; we can sleep whilst driving; we can compute trillions of equations and projections, making money and driving the prices of houses up… ‘What is your greatest…
High upon our northern hemispheric skies, a green streaking messenger travels across skies over the coming days. Comet ZTF has not been here for 50000 years, meaning that prehistoric civilisations, often dismissed by contemporary scholars, last note witness to this messenger, a symbolic meaning of what a comet implies. The region of the night sky…

The New Moon in Fixed Air on the 21st of January 2023 conjoined Altair (Still from Howl’s Moving Castle) It may seem paradoxical but in truth the path to freedom of expression, the way ‘out’, is ‘in’! Yet to descend ‘in’ is to connect ‘beyond’, places so far away that it seems pure fantasy…
Creation and the Muse With a foot simultaneously placed in two different worlds, the mystery that is inspiration opens up your heart to a profoundly fertile source of pure creation.

The New Moon in Cardinal Earth 23rd December 2022 at 10:17 GMT, Dublin, Ireland This place felt vaguely familiar.

Can you feel the subtle transmutational shift happen within the chambers of your heart?

The New Moon in Fixed Water on the 25th of October 2022 Grapes are not harvested from thorns, nor are figs gathered from thistles, for they do not produce fruit. A good man brings forth good from his storehouse, an evil man brings forth evil things from his evil storehouse, which is in their…
The New Moon in Cardinal Air on the September 25th at 22:54 BST In the darkness… a voice had begun to sing. Sometimes it seemed to come from all directions at once. Sometimes he almost thought it was coming out of the earth beneath them… There were no words. There was hardly even a…
Is this your vision for our new ‘reality’: sitting in front of a screen all day, bathed in EMF and Blue Light, concentration so minute from catching up with fear filled porn or trivial nonsense within the ‘Cult of the Exterior’ that you’ve got the memory of a goldfish; – smartphone attached to your hand…

Given that the media are no longer impartial, when you read headlines around the massive rise in demand for solid fuel, you know that there is an agenda to continue to exhaust you with fear. This time will also pass, and you know, the silent majority who went along with the mask wearing, vaccination program,…
Enter the calendar year September, and the politicians start returning from their summer break and already the lockdown rhetoric starts again.

The First Astronomers: How Indigenous Elders read the Stars by Duane Hamacher Essentially the First Astronomers is a well-researched and documented argument to open the eyes of Western academics to take seriously the extensive and intimate knowledge that Indigenous peoples have regarding star knowledge and lore.

Though our modern world feels increasingly removed from Nature, ultimately our sense and understanding of time arises from the rhythmic pulse of the heavenly bodies floating in the waters of the firmament. We live embedded within an ocean of currents and like the differing seas that exist around the world, each has its own character…
The New Moon in Cardinal Water on the 29th of June 2022 Ever feel like there is something missing? That our world is somehow incomplete? Gutted, dreams shattered by an old man to fearful to let him pursue his vision, he rises from the dinner table and takes his leave to consider his fate.…

War What is it good for? Actually many things, none of which have the common soul’s best interest in heart, all of which stem from base human experiences like greed, material power and wealth. “We’re at war, all the papers say” (Stuart Adamson, Where the Rose is Sown), and we are in a perpetual state…

Six months ago, we planted an intention to seek a renewed stirring of life for the Earth, and to engage earnestly, honestly, plainly and compassionately with everyone of every persuasion, in every circumstance, without judgement or condemnation.

Held in stasis, eyes blurred from looking to the horizon, every day waiting – for a sign to point the way; for someone to reassure you that it will be okay; for the antidote to the poison; for the world truly wake; for Godot to appear. You cannot lay claim to anything, except for that…

It can be difficult to stand up for the truth, but that’s what makes it so important to do so, particularly when everyone else seems to be on the opposite side.

We are not the first to express concerns over the direction of the 1518 redistribution of power.

Away from the deeper implications of this time in our collective her/history, the opportunity to truly grow and make more conscious your path has never been so abundant.

It is worth remembering that the breakthrough of liberation happens at the very darkest moment of the world when everyone has lost hope and everyone fears planetary destruction and when everyone sees madness all around and criminality, brutality, inhumanity, destruction of the environment and social ‘orders’. In those pre-dawn days, society appears to lose the…
One of the deepest scars created since the last redistribution of power has been not only been the progressive disenchantment of humanity, but also the disconnection from Nature. The consensus reality constantly reinforces this idea of separation (and fear), a fact repeated within our conditioned patterns that amplify that separation (gender, age, ethnicity …). …
Are we living in an Orwellian prison? “War is Peace. Freedom is Slavery. Ignorance is Strength.” Prophetic or innocently hijacked, the dystopian novella by George Orwell has rung chillingly true through each successive decade since its 1949 publication, as our human rights and civil liberties have been subtly eroded, leaving us at the mercy of…

One of these days your heart will be six feet under and you won’t be able to drop over, check in or pick up the phone. One of these days time will cease and silence will deafen and you will then realise how much you miss the complaints, the concerns and the small things. Ours…
Forgotten within the obsessive focus on using technology to protect us from ourselves and the Frankenstein we have unleashed upon ourselves, is the devastating impact we have had on our world and on each other.

Feared for aeons by those disconnected from the rhythm and immanency of Nature, perpetuated by those enslaved to the egoic ruling classes within the patriarchy (after all what is an eclipse but a time to ‘witness’ the dimming of the Masculine Light) who sought to bolster their personal ambitions with mystique, false prophecy and control,…

The Sun squares the degree of the June Renovatio (Venus and the Sun) During the last redistribution of power in 1518, the then extant consciousness was being challenged to create a new reality based on the ‘heart of the free exchange of ideas’, but instead created a world whose heart was placed in reason and…
