Are We Undergoing an Epistemological Collapse?!?

May 22, 2025

Let me begin slowly.

Have you ever considered the significance of the Aries point, i.e., 1° Aries?

I find the Aries point especially significant, given that we are heading into an unprecedented era when Neptune (which rules the sea) has just risen from Piscean immersion and entered fiery Aries, to be followed shortly (four days from now!) by Saturn; and then two more planets, on June 12th and July 9th, both making aspects to each other and the Neptune/Saturn conjunction, namely Uranus at 1° Gemini and Jupiter at 1° Cancer.

All of these placements will be new (to us), and as Eric Francis Cappolino reminds us, these four planets comprise 99% of the mass of the planetary bodies in our solar system. I.e., this coming configuration of four planets all while entering new signs,  is a BIG DEAL.

Let’s break it down a bit:

Neptune entered Aries on March 31, 2025, for the first time since the Civil War.

Uranus enters Gemini on July 9 2025, for the first time since World War II.

These are the two big ones, because their cycles are so very long. And I must say, no wonder our entire world appears poised on the edge of conflagration!

 

Then there’s Saturn which enters Aries, on May 26, 2025, for the first time in nearly 30 years. That’s four days from now! Hopefully, Saturn will serve to discipline the fiery energy.

And finally Jupiter, which enters Cancer, on June 12, 2025 for the first time in 12 years. Expansive Jupiter in Cancer is the sign of its exaltation, and thus works even more powerfully. Enormous Jupiterian emotionality adds fuel to the Neptune/Saturn Aries fire? Well, yes, unless we do manage to hold on to ourselves, remain centered and grounded in our own bodies. Only barely possible, from now on. Plus, even our bodies threaten to be overtaken by what’s coming, given the transhumanist agenda.

 

In other words, between March 31 and July 9, this year, the four planets which comprise 99% of the mass of our solar system have and will change signs. That’s slightly over three months total, for a massive shift in the atmosphere within which we live and move and have our being.

Furthermore, as they change signs, they will also  enter into a precise triangular configuration, one which I (seemingly alone among astrologers?) call a “triangle of continuous growth.” By which I mean, for anything to grow, it needs an energetic stimulus, a way to channel the energy, and a way to help it subtly adjust over time. The energy is provided by the frictional (90°) angle, in this case between Saturn/Neptune and Jupiter; the channel by the harmonious sextile (60° between Saturn/Neptune and Uranus, and subtle adjustment by semi-sextile (30°) between Uranus and Jupiter.

I have two of these continuous growth triangles in my own natal chart. So perhaps it’s not surprising that I was the one to name them.

(Note: this triangle of continuous growth (square, semi-sextile, sextile) is paired by another, larger one, also created by three different types of aspects: trine, square, and inconjunct.)

This shift, I repeat, is a big deal. Check out Eric Francis Cappolino, his take on the unprecedented shift in the Neptunian atmosphere that both calls out individuality (Aries) and yet immerses each of us in confusion and chaos (Neptune). Thanks to AI; thanks to deep fakes; thanks to a reduced, or perhaps even complete epistemological collapse of our former ways of determining what is true and what false, what real and what not.

BTW: this four planet configuration follows the shift of Pluto into airy, mental Aquarius, early this year. In other words, Pluto lends more power to the epistemological collapse we appear to be entering.

Here’s the relevant planetary placements as of earlier this morning:

Notice the Moon, at 28° Pisces, conjunct Saturn at 29° Pisces, about to enter Aries. Neptune at 1° Aries, Jupiter at 25° Gemini, and Uranus at 27° Taurus; one has already shifted signs (Neptune), and three more (Saturn, Uranus, Jupiter) are getting ready to do so.

Interesting that I should write this post on the day the Sun goes into Gemini. Information, folks, we need it. Plus, though it doesn’t show here, Sun is entering a harmonious trine with Pluto, exact the day after tomorrow.

I repeat: please get, and remain, grounded.

 

 

 

 

POST-TRIP: Looking around . . . and almost regretting it.

If you aren’t on twitter/X at this point, please do get on there. I know it’s confusing, and takes up way too much of your time, at first. Once you know your way around however, believe me, it’s the go-to site. Thank you, Elon.

Today, Brian Cates put up a very long thread on X that basically outlines, and in detail, but with very clear demarcations, the gaslighting horror show that both Trump and we the people have been subjected to since 2016. Really astonishing, when you think about it. Makes me surprised we’re “still here.”

It’s not just the covid nonsense, beginning in 2020, that screwed up our way of making sense of the world. And of course, one could go back further than 2016. How about the Obama con? Here we thought of him as our savior. An eloquent black man elected to the presidency! Wow! I remember. I do remember sitting with other Democrats, watching his inauguration on a big screen. Thrilled. You hear me? Thrilled!

But now, as Trump says, it all goes back to Obama. (Note: I take the following quote from HuffPost; thus the not-so-subtly nasty “right wing X user” reference.)

PUBLIC MILITARY TRIBUNALS? Woah. Things are certainly heating up.

Oh but let’s just start with 2016, shall we? Brian Cates presents the storyline since then.

Here’s how he begins:

 

(Please don’t stop there. Read and absorb Cates entire presentation!)

 

To return to my remark, “surprised we’re still here.” Well, are we? Geez! How is it possible that ‘pro-mortalist’ is actually a thing?

See the ever-reasonable and comprehensive Rod D Martin, his thread:

Especially note Martin’s view of one cultural progression. Life is not only cheap; it is to be squashed, avoided.

Yuck! No wonder I prefer to “remain at home,” working in my own small way, to help regenerate human community upon our dear mother earth.
