Burn it down
Enter the Fire Horse
Good grief, is it only February? This week’s newsletter is all about the E-Files, the P-files, Fiery Horses jumping through Rings of Fire, plus The Weather, amazing Egyptian expeditions, and yes, of course - a bit of Atlantis. So, we’re under starter’s orders, aaaaaand …we’re off!
Farewell dear Wood Snake. You were certainly full of surprises.
As the last few days of this twisty, turny serpentine year play out we are invited to shed any old skin that’s still hanging on despite the collective flaying we’ve all endured in recent weeks.
And speaking of shedding reptiles – the long awaited transformation of society, governance and the global power structure seems to have sounded the starting pistol upon the release of a large tranche of the Epstein Files.
Files, then trials
Within days of Uranus turning direct a degree shy of demon star Algol in Taurus (Uranus in Taurus – tagline – ‘Earth shattering’), the US Department of Justice finally released around 3 million emails, photos and videos from the past twenty years of material gathered investigating Jeffrey Epstein.
The manner in which most people are learning of the depths of depravity and evil apparently de rigeur in the powers that be were – mean that years after Covid, and months after watching a genocide unfold, we are now processing yet another collective trauma. Reactions range from grabbing our proverbrial pitchforks, to dazed denial and dismissal.
People process trauma in different ways, and at a different pace – but unfortunately for the likes of the (literally) cannabilistic global ‘One Percent’ – there will be no turning back this tide.
Prosection of the former Norwegian PM, Thorbjørn Jagland, potentially followed by that of the former UK Ambassdor to Washington, Peter Mandelson, are the opening chapters of what we all hope will be a complete overhaul of global governance.
Enter the Aliens
And, if rumours are true the aliens are on their way, as beleaguered President Trump may perhaps bring forward his ‘Disclosure’ announcement, previously scheduled for July.
As much as we might welcome extra-terrestrial intervention, please read my previous article on the Disclosure Movement agenda before believing anything that comes out of their mouths.
The imminent annoucement is presumably a last ‘Hail Mary’ pass to distract We the People from the realisation that we are run by a degenerate, sadistic, possibly non-human species of eugenicist, viagra-guzzling, ‘pizza*’ and ‘jerky*’ obsessed demons.
(*I would link to a source explaining these coded references but if you don’t know, you can look them up yourself. At your own risk. Just be prepared for nausea and nightmares.)
But it’s not all horrific news. For those with any money left to invest in the stock market, apparently (according to Pam Bondi) the Dow is up).
So there’s that.
Will we see files become trials? Or any real change at the top?
People are easily distracted, and aliens are way more fun than anything in the current news cycle. But if my Instagram feed is a reliable social bellwether, I personally have never seen so many usually apolitical middle-aged mums and dads talking about marching on the capital to demand public Nuremburg style executions.
So, perhaps something has shifted?
Blazing Saddles
If you like your years leisurely and uneventful, you are not in luck my friend. This Tuesday we enter the new Lunar Year aka ‘Year of the Fire Horse’!
Lunar New Year always kicks off a New Moon, but this one also coincides with an annular ‘Ring of Fire’ Solar Eclipse at 28 Aquarius.
We also now have Saturn officially in Aries at 0 degrees inching its way to next weekend’s historic, exact conjunction with Neptune.
Now, there are many aspects to this long-awaited meet-up, but an interesting parallel is the long established connection between Saturn Neptune cycles and Russian history.
In fact, the last time there was a Lunar New Year and an eclipse on the same day, was over a century ago in 1905. This came within a couple of weeks of the Russian Revolution, a mass uprising of the people against corrupt autocrat Tsar Nicholas II, which transformed Russia into a constitutional monarchy.
And yet these astrological motifs rarely serve up the same dish twice.
Could we see a power shift in Russia? Or is it corrupt autocratic systems elsewhere that get a shake down? Certainly Vladimir Putin has escaped the ignominy of being mentioned in the E-files, as a participant at least.
So whatever his other flaws, it appears he, is one of the few global leaders not to be a pdf-file.
Enter the Fire Horse
What can we expect as we giddy up into this brand new storyline?
Horse years in Chinese astrology promise intense energy, rapid transformation, and a powerful drive toward freedom and independence.
The Horse is associated with bold progress, and the drive to move forwards, in contrast with the more internally focused Year of the Snake, which was all about shedding what no longer serves. Think The Chariot or even Seven of Wands in the Tarot.
People born in a Horse year are commonly characterized as energetic and brave, and girls born in Fire Horse years were deemed enough trouble to induce a significant reduction in the birth rate of female babies in East Asia, back in 1966 (the last Fire Horse year). Female Fire Horses in particular were considered headstrong, ill-starred and bringers of misfortune to their husbands!
The Fire element also signifies fast moving change. So, if everything has been moving too slowly for your liking – we could be changing up gears from a pedestrian trot to a blazing gallop during the next few weeks.
Despite the prevalence of fire, according to a ‘Stems and Branches’ classical interpretation of Chinese astrology – this year is actually a ‘Bing’ year – meaning the main celestial influence is actually Cold. Oh, and Water. (Lots of it!)
Climate-wise this can mean that Spring in the Northern Hemisphere comes late and the already INSANE amounts of rain will continue. Those of us in Western Europe have had an incredible amount of the wet stuff this Winter.
And yes I know that the English never stop talking about The Weather, and more specifically, rain. But seriously - enough is enough. We’ve had 40 consecutive days of it already!
The New Eclipse Cycle
Historically, Solar Eclipses (where the Moon occludes the Sun), rarely bode well for leadership. From ancient times, the light of the sun being momentarily dimmed often portended bad news for the ruler.
And yet this one will only be visible near Antarctica, and the Southern-most bits of the Americas. So we’ll be relying on some base-station scientists, Penguins and if you’re that way inclined – a breakaway Nazi UFO civilisation, for the requisite lovely photos.
What we should bear in mind is that Tuesday 17th kicks off a whole new Leo / Aquarius cycle of eclipses, which will be in full swing when the Lunar Nodes shift from the Virgo / Pisces axis in July.
(Virgo and Pisces, you are almost done – Leo / Aquarius, you’re up!)
The Prince and the Pauper
Leo is characterised as ‘the Ruler’, and Aquarius ‘the People’. This seems to be because of the last Pluto transit from Capricorn to Aquarius is associated with the American & French revolutions.
Now, while The People will almost definitely in some way be revolting – Aquarius, for me, also deals with themes of personal sovereignty and individuation as much as it does sweeping societal movements.
The French and American Revolutions, if you squint and regard from a distance, involve a rising up of the people against Kings. But although ‘liberté, égalité and fraternité’ were daubed on the banners, historical hindsight reveal little real collectivism, and more the establishment of a new power structure within which the common man could now ascend to be part of a new elite.
The rise of the mercantile classes and minor landowners as power players, developed into a new form of autocracy and subjugation via the stranglehold of capital vs the workers.
I would argue that Aquarius is about the rights of the individual to pursue his or her personal hero’s journey, rather than under the boot of the powerful, as much as it concerns the elevation of the masses, grass-roots organisation and levelling the playing field.
But perhaps I’m wrong! It certainly promises throwing off the old order, and populism, so let’s see.
Starting roughly 10 am Tuesday morning, the Moon will glide into position at 28 Degrees of Aquarius. So check your chart to see where this falls, it is roughly squaring Uranus, and that no doubt adds revelation to the revolutionary fervour.
And if eclipses get you all nervy – go with the flow and embrace the change.
The Sabian symbol for this eclipse is a hopeful one.
28-29 Aquarius: A Butterfly Emerging From A Chrysalis.
So, even if it’s all burning barricades and bringing back the guillotine, just hold on, something beautiful is emerging.
Something Beautfiful
At last – some good news!
If you haven’t read my previous article on the Hawara Labyrinth, take time to acquaint yourself with the story now because this could be (another) paradigm shifting archeological event of the millennia!
This week Trevor Grassi confirmed on social media that the long planned rescue mission to excavate this amazing site, will start this month!
It’s been a race against time due to rising water levels, but the team headed up by Louis de Cordier will hopefully start work in weeks, with the first step being to halt any further water entering what Herodotus described as an ‘endless wonder’.
You can read about the expedition on the Archeological Rescue website. And subscribe to Louis’ Substack here!
And with more Atlantis / Egypt / Cayce revelations potentially on their way from the Khafre team, Chris Bledsoe and heck, even Zahi Hawass getting in on the action in the next few months, let’s circle back to the Epstein files for another amazing discovery - perhaps the only ‘fun’ one, glinting like twinkly treasure at the bottom of a horrific cesspit.
I’ve written before about Epstein and Maxwell’s obsession with finding Atlantis, inspired very much by Edgar Cayce’s work on the subject.
The homage to Atlantean architecture on the Little St James Island, the submersible piloted by the intrepid Ghislaine – hell the two of them even planned to lure Alexandra Cousteau (granddaughter of Jacques) into their dark web of intrigue.
No one has done more stellar work on this much overlooked subject than 'Dark Journalist’ aka Daniel Liszt, who searched the rcent release of the files to find what he calls an Atlantis-themed ‘smoking gun’!
In the video above, he goes through an email exchange between Maxwell’s boyfriend Ted Waitt (he bought her the mini-sub to explore the ocean floor), and the CEO of National Geographic amongst others, in which they discuss how Paulina Zeilitsky did in fact discover a large underwater cityscape including massive pyramids off the coast of Cuba.
The emails discuss an expedition to locate the site (without Zeilitsky’s help, I might add). I think it’s Waitt who describes her ‘personality’ as being a stumbling block to involving her in the project (!) which is obviously to her credit.
But did it happen? And did they find anything? Dark Journalist has been pursuing this line of enquiry for a while, and his videos are always worth watching as he draws together detailed and deep research from a vast amount of sources and many years work.
He maintains that Epstein et al were obsessed with finding what Cayce had described as a crystalline technology that powered the Atlantean Civilisation, the Tuaoi Stone.
Liszt also explains that Zeilitsky’s discovery was of course covered up, and that it was the reason behind the meeting of Castro and (then) Pope John Paul II (because the Vatican have all the evidence of the location of Atlantis, y’see!
He also makes a connection between this and the renewed persecution of Cuba by the Trump administration.
On that bombshell - I’m off to dig out my flame retardant jodphurs, Teflon muck boots and find a submersible on Ebay. We’re gonna need ‘em.
See you once the Horse has bolted, and let us know in the comments what you’re hoping for in the fiery year ahead.
Until next time :)
I just love your writing style (you must have a fun mercury placment!) and breadth of knowledge!
