Reality Road

The first 6 months of 2024 have been a continuous head spin of the inspirational, destructive and divisive, encompassing both the beautiful and the brutal.

With Jupiter in Gemini until July 2025, exaggeration, hyperbole and disinformation have become the norm as the distorting mirror of social and so-called news media takes the place of real-life experience. Instead, we’re outsourcing our brains to manipulative algorithms, wandering lost in an Alice in Wonderland fantasy of one click consumerism and unreality.

Thankfully, here comes a reality check. On June 29th, Saturn turns retrograde at 19° Pisces until November 15th widely conjunct mystic Neptune at the Master 29th degree of Pisces. The Dweller on the threshold loses none of his power when backtracking over recent territory, making it an important time for critical course adjustments. This is especially true now the Master Teacher is in Pisces, the last sign and also a psychic Water sign.

Since Saturn is the reality principle, expect external events, changing circumstances and insights that have been percolating in your unconscious to deliver valuable karmic lessons by testing your boundaries, your foundations, your growth, resilience and resourcefulness.

Pause and take stock, to allow your inner map to update itself. Ask:

• how successful am I being at creating new, more solid foundations – of time, money, alliances, resources?

• how specifically have I become more reliably self-supporting?

• where am I still flaky, not taking responsibility or stuck in victim mode?

• what do I still need to junk and what do I need to invest in?

• what is working?  not working?

“Isolation. Uniqueness that becomes separative and self-referential. Exquisitely designed to be only a certain way and not any other way. Maintaining standards, priorities, what seems to be the given. Yet something is wrong. It is true that all lies within and that turning yourself into what you are not is ultimately absurd. But you are not listening, not paying attention to the subtle clues. You are so intent upon self-consistency that you have tuned out far too much in the process. And this shall call forth lessons and hard experiences to crack you open again, and to give you a chance to discover afresh what can be when nothing is assumed and nobody has set anything up ahead of time.” Inside degrees Elias Lonsdale
