Before going deep into the powerful events of this next week, I want to honor and celebrate the life of Jon Rappoport, a legend, who sadly passed away. When I did my recent vlog about grieving and celebrating, I listed Jon as one who was still standing strong! He passed on July 8 at age 88, in his third Saturn Return. Jon was a tireless investigative reporter, among the first to expose the AIDS-HIV hoax, and ever exposing the crimes of Big Pharma and the Medical Establishment. Being in a country with unlimited ink printers, I have printed out almost everything he wrote (usually daily) for the last ten years. He will be sorely missed—a man who knew his life purpose.
In the TOTAMS Three Worlds Approach, inspired by Shamanism 101, our life experience can be divided into an Upper or Celestial World, a Middle World (objective reality), and a Lower or Underworld. We allocate Neptune and Uranus initiatory processes to the Upper World; Saturn, Jupiter and the Lunar Nodes to the Middle World; and Pluto and Chiron to the Lower World. Mercury, Venus and Mars visit all three in their synodic cycles. Our view is that, as much as possible, all Three Worlds must be taken into account.
Undoubtedly, something remarkable and rare is happening. From July 15-25, there are exact sextiles between Jupiter, Uranus, Neptune and Pluto, trines between Uranus and Pluto, Jupiter and Neptune, and all framed by a Jupiter-Pluto opposition. This rare situation, first popularized by André Barbault, has captured the imagination of many astrologers. Whilst that is both helpful and supportive, I do feel the real action is elsewhere. TOTAMS strongly emphasizes the initiatory and actional agency of squares, conjunctions and oppositions. Sextiles and trines don’t actually do anything. They are like a good back-up band for the singer, writer, or lead performer. This is indeed helpful in these times. But keep in mind that classical astrology, as well as the Vedic systems, would not have been aware, or are even now using these configurations. The real action and initiatory directives are happening in the Middle and Lower worlds. Let’s take a look.
Here is the remarkable list of imminent Middle and Lower World Configurations. Notice the squares and oppositions between Chiron, Jupiter, Pluto and the Sun.
Monday, July 20, 7:45AM PDT
Jupiter at 4Leo26 and Pluto at 4Aquarius26Rx
This is the one that frames them all, leading up to the Aquarius Full Moon. Jupiter amplifies Pluto.
Thursday, July 23, 8:36AM PDT
Sun at 0Leo48 and Chiron at 0Taurus48; Moon OOB 24S06
The other underworld agent joins Pluto.
Thursday, July 23, 3:58PM PDT
Mercury stations direct at 16Cancer18 Moon; Moon OOB 24S59
This begins the Mercury Cancer synodic overstory - an invitation to feel deeply, with empathy and compassion, what is happening in the world and in your world.
Sunday, July 26, 11:55PM PDT
Sun at 4Leo17 and Pluto at 4Aquarius17Rx; Moon OOB 27S14
At least three days of Plutonian intensity. What are the conditions for surrender? Are you ready to integrate the shadow, compost what is not working, and transform into strength and wellness?
Sunday, July 26, 12:56PM PDT
Saturn stations retrograde at 14Aries44Rx
At least three days of concentrated Saturn energies; Moon OOB 27S46
Add this to the Plutonian emphasis.
Sunday, July 26, 6:39PM PDT
The Lunar Nodes enter the Aquarius/Leo axis; Moon OOB 27S31
Due to the upcoming eclipse season, starting with the August 12 total solar eclipse, the nodes will not reach into the 28th degree until October 9. Pay close attention to this 29th degree of Leo and Aquarius.
Three powerful events on the same day!
Wednesday, July 29, 5:18AM PDT
Sun meets Jupiter at 6Leo24
Jupiter is behind the Sun in the exterior underworld. Is this the Jupiterian underworld? Surely, this spotlights the Jupiter-Pluto opposition that initiated this time frame even more.
Wednesday, July 29, 7:35AM PDT:
Moon at 6Aquarius30 and Sun at 6Leo30
In a rare possible respite that connects to the Upper World, I have always considered this to be the yearly Vision Quest Moon, something I learned in 1981 at Mt.Shasta as part of my first Vision Quest experience. I have honored the Aquarian Full Moon in this manner ever since. I advocate that, in your own way, expand your vision with this Full Moon! Whichever way you most like, connect with your future self and align with life purpose.
This Full Moon can be seen as a climax of the above events. Given the powerful presence of Saturn, Jupiter, and Mercury representing the Middle World, with strong connections to Pluto and Chiron representing the Lower World, more so than at many other Full Moons, don’t neglect the shadows of Aquarius and Leo. Full Moons reveal the shadows of night and in only two weeks we arrive at the South Node Leo Total Solar Eclipse. Will you be ready?
Consider joining the TOTAMS Rebirthing Astrology: Revisioning the Mystery Schools of Life journey. With this project, we not only intend to revision the 12 signs in new ways applicable to a post-KaliYuga Age, but also explore their shadow expressions. Our seminar to revision the Leo Mystery School is being offered August 1. The special Gate Opening Price is still available. Let’s come together in community in this great work!
