My advice is to look at what jobs were available circa 1950 or 1920 (depending on how badly you think the next few years will be), and are also available now. This is why I'm jumping into the electrical industry: unless things go really far south the grid will survive and people will still need someone who can worth with their electronic devices (1950s); if it does go really far south and the grid collapses, well, people will need someone who knows how to get them electricity (1920s)!

We will not collapse all the way to a preindustrial society overnight, but we will almost certainly fall a long ways in the rest of the 2020s...

Well, it was when Pluto was in Scorpio, so it makes sense it would be extremely Plutonian in a lot of ways.

It's too late for that: people are getting hurt already. The only question now is how many, and how badly? I prefer the outcome which leads to the least long term pain, which I think means a complete disaster has to happen this winter.

I have a hard time believing these large numbers. While I am surely aware of individual reports of bad outcomes I also work in a company with a self reported VAX rate of nearly 60%, and higher on my team. I may be one of only 5-10 people in a team of 60+ who aren't jabbed. Most got it in may.

I have not lost any team members to sudden death or hospitalization yet.

Even in my extended professional network I'm only aware of one death, and due to the utter silence on the circumstances I'd sooner guess at self-deletion.

I definitely have noticed some of the vaxxed taking more days off than normal but they do come back.

Perhaps age is a factor? None of these people are over 45. Most 25-35.

The Dems are doing their best to insure they lose spectacularly. That's for certain. But going in history's dustbin? I can't see that because of how locked in the two-party Uniparty is. Ahem, unless, there's a, shall we say, severe disruption, which despite our overlords' odiousness, feels far-fetched. The American Right are too mellow for their own good.

So I work with the runes (very blunt, similar how Mollari describes geomancy), though I do have a couple tarot decks. I haven't worked with them yet, so I don't have the cards or their numbering memorized in any way.

We've talked a bit on other posts about current astral conditions and strange dreams. Last night I had a dream that I went to a very dark bar or nightclub called "Tarot 1620." When I woke up I had a very clear message to remember that phrase and that it was the 16th Tarot card and the 20th Tarot card. Looking online, it seems like that would be The Tower and Judgment. Seems ominous, but then I know very little about tarot! I will have to meditate tonight and see if I can remember any more of the dream and what it might indicate.

It does feel like things continue to ratchet up...

Hi Kimberly,

I have an observation about the COVID vaccine that may be of interest. I'm an Indigenous person from a large Canadian city. Like many other Indigenous people in my city, I got my vaccinations at an Indigenous health centre. What makes this different from a pharmacy, Costco, or someplace else people have been vaccinated?

Magic and religion! You see, sage is burned every morning in such a health centre. People also pray. Sage is used for getting rid of negative energy or thoughts troubling a person.

I have been to different Indigenous communities where every adult member has been fully vaccinated. Nobody has reported any negative things after getting the COVID vaccines, and people would be very vocal about any such thing. Especially the younger generation on social media.

So, I'm sure you see what I'm trying to get at. I think that burning sage and praying negates whatever bad things the vaccine does. How? I don't know. Maybe the vaccine is going something negative magically??

I (Canadian) am much more afraid of my government than the coronavirus, even though I have some risk factors for the disease that give me about a 1/1000 chance of death and a maybe 1/200 chance of long term impairment. I'm considering getting the vax because if it turns out the vaccine doesn't work, the government and their pet media are going to blame the unvaccinated and that could lead to all sorts of SCIENCE sanctioned violence.

Thanks for the reminder. The simple magic works well.

Browsing 4chan /x/ I came across a post asking "What is the most schizo thing you totally, unironically believe?" This reply jumped out.

the reason for political extremism and so called sjws is because Neptune is in Pisces. This will end when neptune enters aries, but thats not till 2025 or so

You know, Trayvon Martin sort of kicked off the whole thing in earnest and that was 2012. Right on the cusp of this transit. It was only a year later that the anonymous adjunct professor wrote his article about how students terrify him. While the seeds were being planted for years and years before hand, I feel like that was the first bloom.

This then made me wonder about previous decades? I'm not so educated on astrology so I would have no immediate answer for how Neptune in Virgo, in Capricorn, Sagittarius, or other signs described the other various eras of my lifetime.

Same here. We have almost 90% of adults having had at least one dose here in the UK (that's over 46 million), and there haven't been any reports of large scale casualties. A large proportion of the vaxxing has been done in family-doctor-led clinics, so there's no way anything like that could be hushed up. A lot of these extreme reports seem to be deliberate scare-mongering, as far as I can see. On the other hand, because of the success of the vaccination campaign, we have had almost all restrictions lifted, masks no longer mandatory in most settings, and cases falling sharply the last few days.

I just meditated on this dream tonight (after SOP, before prayer and divination). It took the form of scrying/visions. I realized that in my dream I never stepped inside the bar, I just saw the sign. During my meditation I pushed the door and went inside and nope - not doing that again. Not a good place and definitely did not feel safe; I wrote down what it was like in my journal but something is holding me back from describing it on the internet or ruminating on it any more. I was already leaving, but was jerked out of my meditation when the draft from my open window pulled my bedroom door open and then slammed it close. Scared the crud out of me. Runes confirm - it would not be good to meditate on that dream or that place again. I feel the need for a cold shower tonight, for sure. I want to get that out of my head before I go to sleep.

Yes, thank you very much. I would appreciate it. Luckily no issues last night; just normal, run-of-the-mill sorts of dreams.

Another idea along the "trades" line: masonry and woodstove/fireplace installation. I imagine more and more people will want more resilient heating sources as oil costs become more volatile. Then, when there isn't any more steel for woodstoves, you could build fireplaces, outdoor kitchens, build walls, etc..

Looking a little into the future I'm not sure that the Aries following this particular Pisces is much of an improvement.

At best it would be a recovery from insanity but could as easily be world war

I suspect this is how the Saturn-Neptune cycle works. Neptune wants to unify, Saturn wants to concretize. So we have the Saturn-Neptune cycles which herald what might be called "social eras":

Saturn-Neptune in Aquarius, 1846-1882 - All about revolutions and the breakdowns of the old order, with the Industrial Revolution really kicking into full gear.

Saturn-Neptune in Taurus, 1882-1917 - All about money, banks, and land. The Gilded Age, the height of European imperialism, etc.

Saturn-Neptune in Leo, 1917-1953 - All about great leaders making their mark on history - FDR, Hitler, etc. Charismatic leadership and personalities.

Saturn-Neptune in Libra, 1953-1989 - The Cold War and the "balance" of power, as well as all the civil rights movements. Decolonization and democratization.

Saturn-Neptune in Capricorn, 1989-February 2026 - All about structure, control, and risk-aversion. Litigiousness. Everything must align, everything must fall within the one system to rule them all.

Saturn-Neptune in Aries, 2026-2061 - Unknown, obviously; it's yet to come - but based on it being in Aries, I'd expect an emphasis on Aries themes - hard power as opposed to soft, the return of courage and risk-taking as opposed to risk-aversion.

...Then on top of this we have to add where the outer planets actually are during all of this. Neptune in Pisces during a Capricorn social era amplifies the push for the One True Way, amplifies religious sensibilities even if those possessing them don't recognize them as religious, etc.
