Welcome to a new week MoonBeams! 

I hope this week brings forward your very best radical ideas. Aquarius always brings some of the most unique and innovative ideas forward but with Mars and Mercury still limp in their Retrograde Shadows it might be challenging to find any fuel for the actions required to initiate them. 

That fuel might be hidden in the most unusual places. Lean into your Imagination Magic to find the most powerful gifts in the Known Unknown. As the Moon moves thru Pisces connect to your Emotion Magic and give every feeling weight. Listen to your inner self during this lunation and it will help you prepare for almost a month with Venus, the planet of values, beauty, art, and integration moving thru Pisces too. That's one of the Big Ass Transits this week!

Now that The Sun is in Aquarius everyone might start feeling rebellious and disruptive. This is an energy that's been brewing up for the last few years but the moderate and liberal folx out there are still struggling to pull away fully from the traps of capitalism and most of us are responding as expected to the narrative of the "economic down turns and recessions" - we're retreating, spending less on small businesses and fretting about our future investments rather than our current collective. These weathers continue to invite us all to learn more about this mysterious thing called an "economy". What capitalism has ingrained is the idea that capitalism is the only best choice. 

Use the power of REAL research this week. Look for alternative sources of information about what "economics" is. Study how our ECOLOGY and ENVIRONMENTS exchange energy. Review the "facts" you've been told about how plants, animals, and the environment make energy exchanges with each other. 

Notice how those stories give power to one of the most dangerous and effective ideologies of capitalism; that everything in nature is always in competition; survival of the fittest, the early bird gets the worm, etc. The narrative is: there's no awareness or intention in nature - it's always about who has the biggest teeth or the best venom who wins. We can take what we want because... well, because we did. These stories seem to say that everything in nature is just a dumb accident and none of these beings are "smart" because they don't try to disrupt the entire system for their comfort alone and humans are brilliant and entitled because we do.  

None of those myths packaged as "life science" ever offer up the idea that every being in nature is taking on its role fully aware of its purpose and its agreement with the whole. What if they all know they will die and rather than wasting their entire lives in a fearful space, resisting death they play their part in order to move forward the machine that is our collective LIFE? What if their entire life is constant bliss and joy because they do their part to protect the larger organization?

Maybe not, but this is a season of "what if?" so play a few rounds.  

The AstroWeathers this week are asking you to consider everything you've learned from the curriculum that was built in whiteness, designed to elevate whiteness, continually fueled by whiteness, benefiting whiteness, and protecting the ideologies of whiteness. 

Think back on the history they insist we learn so we "never repeat it"; notice how we always repeat it but we also tend to double down on it. Get curious about this. 

What if everything we know about ancient civilizations was made up by a white man standing firmly in his own bias? 

What if the beings that built the pyramids weren't actually slaves? What if they knew exactly what they were doing? What if they did the labor willingly for the greater good? What if they were building something we can't even understand? Compare the willingness of all the professional football players, stunts people, and soldiers who willingly do dangerous things for our "entertainment and protection"; they are so easily motivated by the power of fame and glory. What is the difference really? 

Perhaps they teach us these "histories", most of which are also built, designed, fueled, benefiting, and protecting the ideologies of whiteness because they want us to repeat them. There is great wealth in war, pandemics, genocides, and oppression. There is great weather in professional sports and Hollywood too. 

There is great wealth in convincing people they are free but then constantly taking their freedoms away so they have to "fight" for them rather than wake up and see that we don't really even want those things. We want simple lives...

Like the ones animals lead. They live fully, they die as if it's inevitable (cuz it fucking is) and we should spend a little time pondering the possibility that they're fucking blissful doing it. And, that the only thing that's continuously fucked that flow up for them is us trying to bend the environment to our will. 

Just some light ideas to ponder during Aquarius Season. 

Here is a research rabbit hole that I have been in the last few months. I invite everyone to take a little time to learn more about Landback and, incase you don' t know, what it really means...

Aquarius Season arrived on Friday, January 20th at 00:29pst. Wanna learn more? Check out my Aquarius Season Blog Post and don't forget to check in on our notes from this same time (Moon Signs and Phases) last month, last year and from past year. What were you doing during Aquarius Season last year? Strange patterns occur but often times we actually have to LOOK for them! 

WTF is a MoonScope?

This week The Moon will light up Pisces, Aries, and Taurus this week. 

The Moon will be in the First Quarter Moon Phase.
