Saturn and Neptune Piss on the World
Saturn and Neptune, sitting in a tree, causing mayhem, chaos, and pissing all over thee.
First came unrest, then came war, then Saturn and Neptune pushed us all to the reaper’s door.
Neptune enters Aries first, Saturn close on its martyred heels. Reality and boundaries blur. We had a taste of this sour soup last year, what we saw should remind us who the fuck we are.
We’re all human.
We all suffer.
We all bleed.
Reality sucks each of us into its gravitational black hole. And this reality check will reach each of us in its own way, in its own time and place. Where we are when it hits determines how this moves us into our own authority, how it tests the limits of our personal boundaries.
Saturn may be weak in Aries, but as we know from lived reality, weak men are usually the most vicious.
What line will we cross?
What line will they plow straight through?
Neptune’s last stay in Aries coincided with global crisis as well. The American Civil War. Napoleon’s failed attempt to establish control in Mexico. The Franco-Prussian War. The escalation of the Taiping Rebellion. The Meiji and Boshin Wars in Japan. I could go on, but the point is clear: conflict, power plays, and the violent exchange of authority. Some rulers were defeated. Some defeated their enemies. Some eradicated entire populations from the planet.
Saturn’s last sojourn through Aries brought NAFTA under Clinton, budget surpluses in the U.S., the dot-com boom, globalization, corporate power expansion, and antitrust battles against big business.
History doesn’t repeat. But it does rhyme.
So does astrology, cliché as that sounds.
This time will be similar, but we are not the people we used to be, and we are not the country we used to be. Systematically, our rights have been stripped. Big-government surveillance is normalized. AI now monitors people globally, 24/7.
So who gets subjugated this time?
Who gets freed?
What corporations fall?
What governments turn over?
America is on the list. The IC of the Sibley chart takes a direct hit from these two juggernauts. The land of apocalypse. The home of the damned.
We’ve been in a civil war for a while now, but it’s about to escalate. People are too divided to push back against oppression, so instead they turn on each other.
Anyone claiming we’re not in a civil war either has their head buried in the sand—or they’re living in fantasy land. The extremes have the mic. Their voices are the loudest, and they’re getting louder—inciting chaos, heating everything up, drying it out until we’re nothing but brittle husks blowing our bullshit into the wind.
And yet, there’s always a flip side.
If you’re frugal, inventive, opportunistic, the chance to make money is there. The chance to move yourself and your family toward a richer horizon is looming just as clearly as the incoming bullshit. Nothing happens in a vacuum. Both truths exist at once.
Power dynamics will change.
The structure of lived reality will change.
Through all of it, remember this:
We are human.
All of us are human.
Even the ones you don’t agree with.
Even the ones you want to stick a fork in their eye.
They’re human too.
Remember that.
