Why it’s been so hard for Sagittarius: 2008-2026

I discuss why the period commencing in 2008 has been particularly astrologically challenging for Sagittarians.

There has been some difficult astrology at play for Sagittarius which winds down beginning in 2025 through 2026.

Episode transcript:

Greetings all, welcome to Aquarian Diary.

I’m your host, John Irving.

It is October 15th, 2024.

Today I want to talk about something that has actually been on my to-do list for a few months and it again came to my mind over the past few days and I thought, “Well, I really should do this.”

It is going to be specifically geared towards Sagittarians and I don’t normally just focus on one sign, but I think in this case it’s warranted.

I’m a Sagittarian myself and what I want to talk about has had a profound effect on me and based on comments from people, it has for others as well, and I thought I would offer my perspective on this and the timeline involved in case that’s helpful to other Sagittarians.

First though, I want to mention that Sunday night, October 13th, I had another wide-ranging discussion with the wonderful Irish Granny Tarot. We talked about all kinds of things. You may find that interesting. It’s almost an hour and 45 minutes long, but if you have time, check it out.

I’ll put a link in the episode description to that. Or you can always find Helen’s channel simply by searching for “Irish Granny Tarot.” She does wonderful work and her content is very educational as well.

Back to the question of what Sagittarians have been going through, and this is not to suggest that other people haven’t been going through extended periods that have been really challenging, but like I said, as a Sagittarian, I can speak to this personally and a lot depends on your own personal natal chart.

That has a big effect as well, of course, but generally, what I will describe here is fairly significant in terms of challenging aspects. As usual, I’ll be putting dates on the screen. If you’re watching this on YouTube, you might want to pay attention to that.

Pluto transit Capricorn, Sagittarius 2nd Solar house, 2008-2024.

The first thing that really came into phase for Sagittarians, and I’m only looking at major multi-year transits here today, was the transit of Pluto through Capricorn, which effectively began in 2008 and is finished on November 19th.

Capricorn is the sign adjacent to Sagittarius, so technically there are no major aspects between the two signs. However, Capricorn is ruled by Saturn and Sagittarius is ruled by Jupiter, of course. Sagittarius is fire and Capricorn is earth. Well, you can probably see where this is going.

And Saturn is further out from Jupiter, so it has a more powerful role or seniority in the scheme of things, and the energies of these two planets are extremely different. So, Saturn kind of puts the kibosh on Jupiter. Jupiter is very expansive and considered to be lucky, and Saturn is very constraining and rigid.

And so, while Pluto was in Capricorn, it was emphasizing the energies of that sign, which in many ways kind of conflict with the core fundamental nature of Jupiter and Sagittarius. And again, that was from 2008 right up until November 19th, 2024.

I’ve talked a lot about this before, and I really disliked the energy of Pluto in Capricorn, just because there was a lot of expressions that I found fundamentally ingratiating.

And I knew this before it even happened, that this was going to be a difficult period, but I also knew that I would really enjoy the energies of Pluto in Aquarius, which is what now we’re going to be dealing with all the way through 2044.

So, that’s one thing, and that’s a big thing. I mean, look at what has been going on in the world during this time. It is just crazy and very disturbing in a lot of ways.

Crucially, Capricorn rules the solar second house for Sagittarius. The second house rules our assets and property, our material resources, money, and the things that we value. Pluto transiting the second house can of course wreak havoc on financial affairs, because a lot of things can be destroyed before they get rebuilt.

Generally, what is happening here is that our values, the things that we think are important, are going through a huge purge and transformation. And there’s a lot of destruction with Pluto when it moves through these areas.

Of course, the second house also opposes the eighth, which is another money house. The eighth is more the resources and interactions with other people or outside institutions or agencies, things like banks, people that we borrow money from or who invest in us, that kind of thing, at least on a financial level.

And the second house squares the eleventh and the fifth, social groups and networks, and our sense of creativity and things that deal with children and stuff like that. So clearly, Pluto transiting this part of our chart can manifest as a lot of financial challenges for some people.

Neptune transit Pisces, Sagittarius 4th Solar house, 2011-2026.

Next, Neptune started transiting Pisces in 2011, and that transit ends in 2026.

Now in my own personal experience, Neptune’s squares to the Sun can be extremely challenging. They can really zap your vitality and your energy. And Neptune has this kind of dissolving quality, and the squares, in my experience, can be the most frustrating aspects because there’s really no resolution to these energies.

So when Neptune squares your Sun, for example, it can completely kind of push you down where you have no vitality, very little energy, and many aspects of your identity and reality can kind of dissolve. At the same time, we can have many kind of psychic and intuitive experiences, but we can be very ungrounded and energetically porous.

I have talked a lot about Neptune on my channel, and if you just go to my channel page and search for Neptune, you’ll find those.

I’m not going to reiterate everything I’ve already said, but trust me, Neptune squares to your sun can be extremely difficult. There can be a lot of loss and losses involved during this time. Neptune has a very kind of dematerializing energy about it.

So Neptune in Pisces squared Sagittarius. If you’re early Sagittarius, you went through the hardest aspects of these early on, like back in 2011, 2012. If you’re a later Sagittarius, you’re probably just experiencing that right now or recently.

But this transit of Neptune square the Sun is probably grossly underestimated. For the most part, it’s my impression that people just underestimate how hard of a transit that actually is.

So now we’ve got Pluto in Capricorn, and weve got Neptune squaring Sagittarius, both for many years.

The solar fourth house of Sagittarius is ruled by Pisces. So Neptune transiting the fourth, which also opposes the tenth, which is career vocation status, how we fit into the world, the positions that we’re elevated into, where we have power and authority and are recognized for our contributions.

The fourth house is critically important because it’s foundational. If we don’t have a solid foundation, which is our home, our literal home and our home environment and the people that are in our immediate home environment, those who are really close to us, it also covers our family, either the one we grew up with or the one that we create.

So Neptune, with this kind of dissolving non-materialistic energy, this very spiritual energy, can really dissolve a lot of our foundations. If we don’t have a solid foundation in the world, it’s really hard to do a lot of things. If we don’t feel secure and safe, it’s very hard to go out, for example, and start a business or have a career or whatever. And again, like I said, Neptune in the fourth would be opposing the career house for Sagittarius.

So I already talked about Pluto transiting the second. That’s really hard. That’s a tough transit because in three-dimensional reality, we need material resources and financial security to feel comfortable and safe. And at the same time, we now have Neptune transiting our fourth, which is dissolving our foundations, our safe place, the place where we go at the end of the day and we close the door and we feel secure and safe.

Two very, very challenging things going on there at the same time. That’s a lot.

Saturn transit Pisces, Sagittarius Solar 4th house, 2023-2026.

More recently, Saturn entered Pisces in early 2023 through early 2026. Now there’s some breaks because of retrogrades, but generally 2023-2026.

Saturn square your Sun is also a very challenging aspect. This is where we can feel blocked as if forces outside of ourselves are constraining or limiting us that we can’t move forward or we’re stuck or we have to deal with very pragmatic mundane things that are constantly stopping us from doing what we want to do. It’s an extremely frustrating aspect.

So again, depending on what degree in Sagittarius your Sun is, will affect when these energies are most intense. You definitely will feel this within a two degree orb and probably even five degrees or more. However, to some extent, the whole time that Saturn is in Pisces, the energies are squaring the sign of Sagittarius. Saturn transiting the fourth can really bring a lot of attention and focus on to issues that deal with our home and home environment and our foundations as I talked about with Neptune transiting the fourth.

So the solar fourth of Sagittarius now has Neptune and Saturn in it and Saturn is extremely practical and pragmatic. You can think of it as tough love and it can represent as challenges or things that we have to get really real about and put a lot of effort into that pertain to our home or home environment.

And if they’re not on a solid foundation, Saturn will make us very clearly aware of that. And this isn’t necessarily pleasant because Saturn is not about fun. It’s usually about hard work and dedication and concentration and not getting rewards quickly or easily. It takes a lot of time and effort with Saturn and concentration and diligence and so forth. It can be exhausting because we have to keep our nose to the grindstone for a very long time and sometimes we don’t see results for a very long time either.

Chiron transit Pisces, Sagittarius Solar 4th house, 2010-2019.

Also, Chiron transited Pisces from 2010 through 2019, give or take because of retrogrades. That also can be kind of a challenging aspect.

So Chiron would have squared Sagittarius Sun at some point during that period and those energies are square the whole time really to a degree between Pisces and Sag.

And this can force us to confront or deal with some of our wounding often that occurred in formative years or even past lives. And Chiron transits can be quite hard because often in my experience, reality or our daily experiences or interactions will either trigger or mirror our wounding to us. And we can feel helpless or victimized or sad or experience grief and things like that, often justifiably and also inadequacy. But still, it can be kind of a challenging emotional experience to go through. It’s never pleasant to muck around with our core wounding, but that’s what Chiron tends to do.

Chiron transiting the fourth can bring up issues relating to our wounding around our family. So a lot of family dynamics and issues and things that we’ve swept under the rug or glossed over or shadow work that we need to do around those kinds of themes can be brought to our attention in uncomfortable ways.

Chiron will, like I said, either trigger us or mirror things to us that reflect and make us aware of our wounding. And let’s face it, we’d rather probably not do that most of the time, even if it is beneficial and essential. It’s not necessarily pleasant and it’s not necessarily pleasant to feel like you’re a victim either, which is also kind of a hallmark of Chiron transits.

So you have to remember all of these things are going on simultaneously and they layer on top of each other. So there were certain times during this decade or more period where there was multiple challenges going on to the sign of Sagittarius.

So when we layer on all these things together, and I’m not touching on everything because this is a long period of time, I just want to give people a general sense of when this started and when it ends.

Pluto sextile, as well as Neptune and Saturn trine Sagittarius 2023-2039.

We can see that Pluto is moving into Aquarius, which will sextile Sagittarius. So that’s more of a positive energy for transformation and change in an easier way. We have to activate the sextile. We have to actually take action and do things to manifest those benefits, but that’s not a problem.

And then we can see that by early 2026, Neptune and Saturn have moved into Aries, which actually is a trine to the sign of Sagittarius. The trine is the easiest, most positive aspect. So we go from these very challenging squares to a very positive trine. So again, there’s retrogrades involved here.

So there’s periods where we get a break from this, but fundamentally, transformations should be in a much stronger, easier, more positive and beneficial energetic situation come early 2026.

You might have some other positive transits along the way that counteract some of these challenging ones. So it’s not all constant or steady. It fluctuates. And that again, depends on your own natal chart.

But I have a natural chart. I have an Aries ascendant. So these kinds of transits are kind of amplified for me and I can speak therefore in broad terms.

And I also pay a lot of attention to my own energetic state. So I’m quite aware and on top of these kinds of things, I can feel the shift of energies often from one sign to the next as planets transition and stuff. And I pay a lot of attention to it and I journal a lot. So I’m kind of on top of this.

So I want to give you that sense of why this period has been so challenging for a lot of Sagittarians, because we’re generally by nature, a very optimistic, expansive, kind of jubilant, hopeful people. But we have been being challenged now for many years by some of these transits. And I can get to the point where you just assume that that’s how things are. But what I’m suggesting is that this is a phase that will be winding down over the next year and a half or so.

I don’t happen to have a lot of Gemini’s that I’m closely involved with these days, but Saturn and Neptune in Pisces also squares Gemini. Gemini doesn’t have the same issue with Capricorn that Sagittarians do. So I can’t speak for Gemini, but some of what I’m saying may apply to them, although it may have commenced more in the 2011 timeframe.

And then of course, Pisces opposes Virgo. So Saturn and Neptune in Pisces will have presented challenges to Virgo as well. So basically all of the mutable signs, including Pisces have to some extent been challenged by some of these major transits.

Uranus transit Taurus, Sagittarius 6th Solar house, 2018-2026.

Now one final thing. Uranus has been transiting Taurus since 2018 and finishes transiting Taurus in April of 2026.

This is the solar sixth house for Sagittarius and the sixth deals with our work and routines and daily habits, but it also deals with health and being of service. And sometimes being of service means that we put others needs ahead of our own and we don’t necessarily get any immediate personal gratification from it. It’s more like a selfless service energy where we have to sacrifice our own ego and desires to serve or to play a role for others.

So Uranus transiting this house can raise all kinds of issues around our work habits and routine and change them and introduce elements that are uncomfortable or unfamiliar to us can also raise health issues. And we can find ourselves in weird situations where we feel like we’re just sacrificing ourselves all the time.

The sixth house has a quality of breaking down the ego, which is not too bad in small quantities, but if it goes on for a very long time, it can feel exhausting. Anybody who works in healthcare, for example, is very much aware of this.

Uranus transit Gemini, Sagittarius 7th Solar house, 2025-2033.

Uranus is then going to transit Gemini from 2025 until 2033 and Gemini opposes Sagittarius.

So during this time, 2025 to 2023, Sagittarians are going to be opposed by Uranus and that can manifest as very sudden and dramatic shifts or changes in your life or your life experience or your life circumstances that are virtually unpredictable. We can never foresee precisely what changes Uranus is going to bring about.

But the benefit to this is that if you’ve been in a situation where you feel stuck or things have become stagnant for a long time, which a lot of people experience, Uranus can really shake things up and break them, which results in you gaining more freedom. Even though these events can sometimes be quite dramatic and even sometimes a bit traumatic, the benefit is that you get liberated.

Or maybe you’ve been repressing certain feelings or desires or needs and you won’t be able to repress those energies any longer when Uranus opposes your Sun, for example. You will need to express your own unique identity and liberate yourself from anything that is confining, restricting, habitual, but not beneficial, that kind of thing.

So again, it depends on the degree of your Sun. Obviously, early Sag Suns are going to be opposed by Uranus in the early stages of this transit and later Sagittarians later on. That has to be calculated. That’s why people consult astrologers like me and you can book an appointment if you wish.

But I can assure you that that whole time period will bring about very major changes for Sagittarians. They don’t always have to be negative. They can be positive, but one thing is for sure, change will be in the cards.

When Uranus transits Gemini, that is Sagittarius’ seventh solar house. The seventh deals with our important significant relationships. Typically, it is those that we are partnered with romantically. So it would be like your wife or a girlfriend or boyfriend or husband, somebody that you are committed to usually. It’s usually an exclusive kind of energy and it’s usually a serious relationship as opposed to one that is more lighthearted.

And when Uranus goes through the seventh, it can really shake things up in the relationship department. You can sometimes end up with people who are very different from you that you wouldn’t normally be attracted to or involved with, or it can completely shake things up with committed relationships and end those that no longer serve you or that are holding you back or that have become stagnant or pointless or meaningless.

And for those who are familiar or comfortable with having really stable, predictable relationships, this can be a hard transit. If somebody is in a relationship that has dragged on for a long time, that has lost meaning and reward, often when Uranus transits the seventh, that relationship will end.

And the other side of the coin, like I said, is that we can enter into situations or kinds of relationships that are very different or unusual from what we’re familiar with. Like it could be somebody that’s just very different from you, or it could even be the nature of the relationship is very weird. Or it could just be somebody who’s very culturally different from you and what you’re familiar with.

Uranus likes to have a lot of freedom. It doesn’t like to be constrained or limited. So sometimes even when Uranus goes through the seventh, people can explore things like polyamory or something like that, or open relationships where they have multiple different people that they’re connected to. I’m not saying that’s typical. I’m just using that as an example.

Don’t necessarily expect that, but Sag is going to go through an extended period where the relationship part of their life, if they have one, is going to probably be unusual or different from what they’re familiar with.

And of course, like I’ve already said, the seventh opposes the first. So Uranus is opposing the Sun of Sagittarius and squaring the 10th and the fourth.

So by this point, we’ve got away from Pluto in the second, Neptune and Saturn in the fourth, and Chiron in the fourth. And now the emphasis in terms of a lot of fairly radical change is going to shift to the seventh, as I have just described.

But at the same time, we will be having Saturn and Neptune trining our Suns. And Saturn can strengthen and solidify things, and Neptune can be extremely inspiring and enlightening. And if you’re a spiritual person, Neptune trine Sun can be phenomenal. So I’m actually very much looking forward to that.

I’m an early Sag. Even when Neptune is at the late degrees of Pisces, it will still be forming a trine to my Sun within a reasonably tight orb. Actually, I already felt it a bit in 2024, and it was wonderful.

Plus, like I said, Pluto in Aquarius is sextiling Sagittarius, and Aquarius is an air sign, Sag is fire, so these energies are compatible. And the sextile is a very supportive aspect, and this speaks to positive regeneration and empowerment and upliftment, positive expression of power, if used wisely.

I know this is a lot to try and absorb all at once, especially if you’re a novice or casually interested in astrology. And this is one of the reasons why, for me, to take on producing an episode like this is not a trivial thing, because it’s very multi-dimensional and there’s a lot of moving parts. Often if you follow astrology, people will tend to focus on one thing at a time, whereas in reality it’s very holistic.

Plus, as I’ve said, a lot depends on your own natal chart, which introduces a whole bunch of other dimensions to this as well. So it’s not as clear-cut or simple as is often presented. It’s way deeper.

So again, if you want to look at this from a more detailed perspective, consider booking an appointment and I can go through some of these things for you with more precision, taking into account your Ascendant, your Midheaven, your other planetary positions, and so forth. I’m speaking here, of course, in very general terms.

But there you go, that’s just kind of like a quick overview of why, if you’re a Sag and you’ve felt challenged for a long time, this might explain some of it. And again, there’s a lot more detail in the dates, in the graphics that you’ll see on this screen. So you might want to watch this again, make notes, that kind of thing.

Once again, you’ll find the link to the discussion I had with Irish Granny in the episode description, and I hope you found this helpful.

For more detail, check the episode description for other episodes or articles that are related or that I mentioned. And if you’re interested in a reading with me, I’ll put a link to that as well. I have a 15% off special on currently.

Many sincere thanks to everyone who supports me, especially my YouTube members and astrology clients. Thank you very much.

Take care, all the best, and I’ll talk to you again soon.

Bye for now.

The Spiritual Seeker vs the Collective

I discuss why Spiritual Seekers must carefully manage their engagement with the collective or collective consciousness.

Episode transcript:

Greetings all, welcome to Aquarian Diary.

I’m your host, John Irving.

It is July 4th, 2024.

First of all, happy 4th of July to all the Americans out there.

I hope you have a fantastic weekend with your friends and loved ones.

What I want to talk about here today may seem self-evident, but at the same time it can be a bit confusing for people.

And that is the relationship between the spiritual seeker and the collective.

There’s a very common notion around these days, this idea that humanity is ascending to a higher level of consciousness, which will have many implications and manifestations, including things like increased psychic and intuitive abilities.

And I have no doubt that that is actually occurring.

We can think of it as kind of like the baseline or the lowest common denominator being raised for the collective.

So everyone kind of gets a bit of a boost by default as the energies on the planet get raised.

However, that does not mean that we’re suddenly going to have billions of people who are enlightened.

Far from it.

Enlightenment is actually a very rare phenomenon, despite what a lot of people think.

In my many decades of being involved in spiritual activities and spiritual practice, I have only met a few enlightened people.

And I mean a few.

So let’s just accept that.

Just because one has psychic abilities, or can speak with their guides, or practice divination, or whatever the case may be, it doesn’t mean that they’re enlightened.

And it doesn’t necessarily even mean that they are more spiritually advanced than the baseline.

Although that is often the case, it is not always true.

Some people have psychic gifts, just as other people have musical gifts, or they’re gifted in mathematics, or whatever the case may be.

Psychic phenomenon in and of themselves are not actually something that is foreign to most people’s capabilities.

But I digress.

The main point I want to discuss here is the relationship between a spiritual seeker and the collective.

A spiritual seeker is someone who consciously and deliberately makes the pursuit of spiritual advancement a priority and focus of their lives.

And I would argue that there are far fewer serious spiritual seekers than most people think.

There are many people who dabble in spirituality, but don’t necessarily make it one of their top priorities.

And that has always been true.

If we look at society as a whole, there was only a very small segment of society that made such pursuits a very important part of their life.

That has always been true, and it’s true now, and it will be true in the future as well.

The collective is an amalgam of all of the consciousness that exists here on earth, in its various forms and in its various states of evolution.

To some extent, we mingle with those energies, simply as a function of existing here on this planet, which is one of the reasons earth is so hard.

Because everyone here has free will, they get to choose at what level they want to be at in terms of their consciousness.

So there’s people here at a very low level of consciousness, and there’s people at higher levels of consciousness, and many in between.

So a spiritual seeker, over time, will learn that this is simply a fact, and they will have to begin to discriminate about who and what they expose themselves to, insofar as that’s possible.

If you are at all empathic or psychically sensitive, you will already know that being around people who are in a low consciousness state can undermine your own state of energy or consciousness.

Thus, we have to do things like energy clearing and protection in certain cases in order to preserve our holistic wellness.

Again, this is simply a fact.

Now those who are beginning to explore spirituality may take quite a bit of time to realize this, and may ultimately have to purge certain people and situations from their experience as much as possible in order to maintain a higher state of consciousness or awareness.

We are somewhat energetically porous to our environment, to our experience, to what we perceive, to what we witness, and so on.

And let’s face it, reality as we understand it or experience it here on earth is a cacophony of all of these different states of consciousness and it’s kind of like a pyramid where the majority is at the bottom or in the middle and there are fewer at the top.

Yes, unfortunately, that’s just the way things are, and that’s the way things have always been, and that’s the way things always will be.

The pyramid might get taller, but it’ll always be like that.

Perhaps in some very distant future, humanity will all be resonating in a very high state of consciousness, but even in the spiritual realms, there are varying degrees of consciousness or power.

In fact, in the collective here, we can encounter things like psychic vampires, ill-intentioned people, people who are deeply wounded and traumatized who haven’t healed from those things, who then project that into their environment.

We can have people who breach other people’s privacy or free will, or invade their space psychically without permission, and even attempt to interfere with or alter their destiny or life path without their explicitly informed conscious consent.

This amounts to an expression of will that causes harm to others whether we realize it or not.

We have no right to interfere with or alter someone else’s destiny against their free will.

Others obsess over things like gossip or forms of voyeurism.

All sorts of things like this can occur and do occur at lower levels of consciousness.

According to legends, it is these kinds of abuses of power that led to the downfall of Atlantis.

Let’s not repeat that.

This is a little different from the expression of creativity which we were all given the gift to engage in.

Creativity does not necessarily impose on others free will.

I’ll add that I think people should be very careful about who they’re intimate with because we form very strong bonds and connections with people that we share physical intimacy with and that can have fairly significant implications for us.

So that’s another thing we should be fairly discriminating about.

I’m not against intimacy.

It’s just again about using our discernment.

But back to my main point as I have spoken about in previous episodes.

Like the one I published recently called “Don’t Look Down”, the more advanced spiritual seeker needs to be very discriminating about their energy and their environment and it may take numerous lifetimes for them to learn that this is simply just a fact.

Because many of us can be very compassionate and even a bit naive, this can be a hard lesson.

I share this with you because if you’re someone who needs time alone, who to some extent needs to isolate and protect their energy, or to be very selective socially about who you expose yourself to, your friends, your work, whatever the case may be, you should not necessarily judge yourself for that or condemn yourself for that.

It may in fact be the best thing for you.

And like I said before, the truth is that there are simply not that many people who are really advanced spiritual seekers.

It has been traditionally the case for thousands of years that many advanced seekers actually went into fairly isolated circumstances for quite some time at the later stages of their spiritual evolution.

The most important goal was actually to achieve a state of enlightenment.

Often this involved lifetimes of relative isolation before they could attain that.

So yeah, if you’re that kind of person, don’t beat yourself up about it.

Take care of yourself.

Respect your energy.

Maintain your energy field.

Because you want to stay in a higher state of consciousness as much as possible for as long as possible, thus you do not necessarily want to expose yourself to people or situations that literally drain your energy and lower your consciousness.

Clearly, not everyone shares this ambition.

But some of us do.

For more detail, check the episode description for other episodes or articles that are related or that I mentioned.

And if you’re interested in a reading with me, I’ll put a link to that as well.

I have a 15% off special on currently.

Many sincere thanks to everyone who supports me, especially my YouTube members.

Thank you very much.

Take care, all the best, and I’ll talk to you again soon.

Greetings all, welcome to Aquarian Diary.

I’m your host, John Irving.

It is July 2nd, 2024.

Hi everyone.

I hope everyone is doing fantastically.

It’s been a while since I’ve been on here, and there’s a good explanation for that.

This recent period, actually the last few months, since about the time we’ve had the eclipses back around April, has been an incredibly powerful and potent period for my own personal evolution and transformation.

I have had periods in my life before where I went through times where I had a lot of very powerful and meaningful spiritual experiences.

And this recent period has been on par with them, and perhaps even exceeding them in some ways.

These haven’t happened very often for me, there’s often years in between.

But I can say with absolute sincerity and clarity that this time that we’re in right now is really remarkable.

So I hope people are doing their spiritual work and their shadow work and their spiritual practice because it’s been nothing short of jaw-dropping in many cases.

I’m not going to be describing what I’ve been experiencing in a lot of personal detail.

Mostly that’s because I don’t like to share things broadly or publicly that are in process, because I feel it’s important to kind of hold those things close to my chest until I go through them, and then when I have some kind of resolution or I can put a bow on it, I’m then ready to talk about it.

But I haven’t completely integrated all of these remarkable experiences I’ve had lately, and I don’t think other people should do that either.

I could easily come on here and talk about all these things that are happening every day, but I would just be chattering.

I like to have clarity and understanding about my experiences and my revelations before I discuss them.

Otherwise it’s just kind of noise.

And we all know that we don’t need more noise in the world right now, do we?

So when this settles in for me, and I do feel like I’ve gone through a paradigm shift, which like I said I’m still processing, it feels like my whole life is going to be different.

And it already is in many ways.

It’s just that I don’t have a lot of perspective on it because I’m still in it.

So I hope that’s been true for you too.

I did do some episodes a few weeks ago talking about, you know, that this was a time for miracles and that is absolutely true.

There have been some things that are happening and unfolding in my life that definitely qualify, like absolutely.

Some things that I have always dreamt about are manifesting.

Really exciting, wonderful, positive, fantastic things.

In some areas I still feel a bit stuck, but that’s because I think this new paradigm hasn’t grounded itself fully.

It takes time when we go through big changes for things to sort of manifest in our outer world in every respect.

I’m fine with that.

Like for example, if you go through a big Pluto transit, it can take years to integrate.

So we have to be patient as things play out.

As I’m recording this on July 2nd, we have this really interesting transit of Mercury in early Leo opposing Pluto while trining Neptune in Pisces.

And it only lasts a few days, but I’ve already had some experiences with this energy.

And for example, yesterday I became aware of how deeply pissed off I am about something.

That it’s actually much deeper than I thought.

I was a bit shocked by how angry I was about something.

And that insight is actually really helpful because Pluto can make us aware of things that are deep in our unconscious or subconscious.

And Mercury of course being representative of the mind and communication, it’s like we can receive messages about what is really deeply buried in our roots.

This is like stuff that we have to do shadow work on.

And with this trine to Neptune, we can get kind of like a spiritual perspective about what’s going on there.

And I’m a huge fan of shadow work.

I always talk about how important that is because it’s kind of our Achilles heel.

And somebody else I know had something very similar happen where something was revealed that was very dark from the distant past.

And it’s very helpful to be able to bring this into our conscious awareness if we’re willing to do the shadow work.

If somebody is unconscious, they may just react and explode and say something really hurtful.

You know, they’re coming from their wounding, you know, they’re being triggered.

But if we’re more conscious, we can use these kinds of transits and this kind of energy to gain very valuable and important insights into our own psychology.

What we need to work on, what we need to heal, what we need to release.

So I was a bit shocked by how this made me feel my own personal insight.

But at the same time, it was kind of like a revelation.

Now I have a deeper understanding and I can work on that.

And I’m just more conscious of it than I was before.

And it’s been something that’s been going on for a long time.

I just didn’t know how deeply it affected me.

That’s great.

So I hope you use these energies that way.

If you’re dealing with people who are a little less self-aware or a little less conscious, you do need to watch out for kind of explosive communications or situations that could be quite upsetting and even harmful, you know, to relationships, especially if there’s pent-up anger, resentment, that kind of stuff.

Things could really come to the surface.

Now that transit is exact.

Tomorrow morning, July 3rd, early in the morning, Eastern time.

And it’s really only in effect for a few days, let’s say this week.

So it’ll pass quickly.

But generally my point is, is that even what we consider to be these challenging transits can be beneficial to us if we work with these energies more consciously from a higher state of awareness.

The main thing that I wanted to talk about here today, and I don’t want to spend too much time on this, it’s really easy for me to do things that are really long, like my readings that I do for people, which by the way, have been really deep lately and I love that.

Like I’ve gone really deep with people and I’m getting more and more kind of psychic or intuitive, which is fantastic.

But I can go on for a long time about a natal chart or transits or whatever.

What I really wanted to talk about here today was this idea that I think is quite prevalent amongst people in terms of their own consciousness of the notion of consensus reality.

There is this general belief in the collective consciousness that there is a shared consensus reality.

And what I would like people to think about is that perhaps that’s not true.

If not, it isn’t true.

So where does this come from?

I believe that this is a relic of the age of Pisces, where if you think about the symbol for the age of Pisces being the fish, you have a whole school of fish swimming together.

You’ve probably seen video, underwater video of this, of schools of fish moving in unison all at once, right?

So we went through this very, very long period, over 2000 years, where humanity sought to form and maintain and hold a consensus reality that we could all abide by and subscribe to.

And the people who moved away from that consensus reality or outside of it or strayed, so to speak, they were more likely to get picked off by predators.

That’s what happens in the seas with schools of fish.

The ones that don’t follow the school are more likely to get eaten.

And that’s kind of like what happened in human history, where people who strayed were often ostracized if not persecuted for being different.

And that probably includes some of you.

And so there was a pressure for people to share a common paradigm.

And we still have a lot of relics of that now.

In fact, I would argue that a lot of the resurgence on the political right or social right is a reflection of that old paradigm, trying to maintain its relevance or to survive in the face of what are actually insurmountable odds.

It’s not going to happen, but they’re going to try.

And typically this paradigm was reinforced in a patriarchal kind of order.

We’re all familiar with that.

We’ve all seen how it works.

And it was also employed often by force and hierarchically controlled.

So there was a lot of pressure around that and people had to conform.

But in the age of Aquarius, which is ruled by Uranus, you have to think of it more from an Aquarian perspective.

Aquarians are not afraid to be unique or individual.

In fact, they kind of have to be.

And they’re willing to be ostracized if necessary in order for them to express their own unique identity.

They will not accept dogma for the sake of dogma or subscribe to other people’s beliefs just because other people believe them, which I think is fantastic.

My progress son is actually in Aquarius now, so in the 11th house.

So I’m kind of tuned into that energy.

And Aquarians are very intelligent and skeptical.

So this new reality that we’re moving into is going to look like the collective being comprised of billions of people who are all very unique and individuated.

There’s not going to be nearly as much pressure as there used to be for people to conform or behave in ways that were designed to meet other people’s expectations.

In other words, they are less willing to compromise on their true nature, their true self, their true identity.

I think that is absolutely fantastic.

We should start seeing people expressing that in their style, their clothing, their appearance, their tastes, their mannerisms, their proclivities, like all the gender stereotypes, all that stuff is like kind of out the window.

And the people who are trying to maintain and impose a rigid, dogmatic, and constrained, and hierarchical paradigm on everybody else are going to lose.

It’s not going to happen.

You can’t contain this explosive, highly charged, Uranian energy, Uranus being the ruler of Aquarius, and especially with Pluto in Aquarius now.

So we’re going to see a lot of structures and institutions and paradigms collapse, which is exactly what we’re seeing.

And those institutions and organizations and structures are going to have to be recreated in a way that is much less constrained.

This is going to take a long time to happen.

But this is why I think we’re seeing this kind of polarization and people digging in their heels and clinging to outmoded and outdated ways of expressing themselves and of operating in social organizations and circles and their communities and so forth.

We’re moving into a state where things are going to be changing constantly all the time.

That’s just the way it’s going to be.

So some people are finding this energy difficult because it can feel a little bit exhausting when everything is constantly changing.

If you look at all the drama and chaos that’s going on in the world, in many ways, especially at the beginning stages of this, it’s going to resemble that for a long time.

So it’s advisable to allow yourself to become comfortable with not necessarily knowing everything that’s going to happen all the time, to not having your expectations fixed too much, or for society and culture to be constantly in flux and even disruptive, and to some extent to allow yourself to rid yourself of your own beliefs and thought forms and habits from the past that used to serve you but that might not anymore.

Because you don’t want to be anxious all the time and stressed out.

Recently, for example, I had to kind of tune out a lot of the news and stuff because I became very energetically sensitive.

I couldn’t even look at or read certain things without it changing my energy in ways that I didn’t like.

And at the same time, I’m kind of like, “Yeah, we’re going through a period of a tremendous amount of chaos, and that’s just the way it is.

It’s just going to be like that.”

So a big part of our spiritual practice as individuals right now should be about just letting go, releasing, clearing, letting go of things that we cling to, that are crystallized.

We need to be more fluid and more open to change and experiences that perhaps in the past we wouldn’t have even entertained.

But we need to do that so that we can grow and learn and expand.

In other words, we do not want to be stuck.

If you’re going through a Uranus transit, say to one of your personal planets, especially if it’s a challenging one, things in your life can like literally appear to blow up like out of the blue.

But what Uranus is trying to do is break you away from situations that were constraining you in ways that were not in your highest good.

If you’re in resistance to that, it can even become traumatic.

So I’m just basically advising people to go with the flow.

If things are changing, let them change.

It’s probably for your highest good.

Of course, if you’re doing your spiritual practice and you’re more aligned with your intuition and your own personal guidance, it’ll help you to understand whether what you’re going through is actually what you want versus what you don’t.

But it’s just very important to have that awareness.

And also, if you’re listening to people out there, like if you’re listening to other readers or tarot readers or psychics or whatever, you need to be aware and keep in the back of your mind that everybody is channeling through their own perception.

Everybody has a paradigm that they live within, whether they’re aware of it or not.

And so what’s true for them may not be true for you.

And maybe you resonate with certain people, but what you’re doing is you’re resonating with their paradigm.

So you can hear conflicting things from different people.

If you actually maintain an objective perspective on it, you’ll recognize that, wait, this person said that and this person’s saying that and they conflict with each other.

But to some degree, both things can kind of be true because they’re true from that person’s perspective.

They are relative or subjective.

And at the same time, we have the very multi-dimensional reality going on here too.

So there’s some people channeling from a lower level of consciousness and other people channeling from a higher level of consciousness.

And one thing might be true on one lower level and the thing on the higher level is true too, but they can be different and they can conflict.

Hence they can be paradoxical.

And I’ve had that experience many times where from a higher perspective, some things are true and on the lower perspective, they’re not or vice versa.

So be aware that we are now part of a collective with like billions of different consciousnesses and each consciousness is like a little universe.

And then when you enter someone else’s consciousness, you’re entering a different reality.

So don’t take everything you see at face value or at least take it with a grain of salt and you need to be doing your spiritual practice to make sure it resonates with you.

Because it may not.

I don’t want people to be misled.

I’ve seen a lot of things that like I said are paradoxical or conflict.

And logically we say, okay, two things, these opposing things, one must be true and the other isn’t.

And I’m like, well, it depends on how you look at it.

If we don’t have a shared reality like we did in the Piscean age, then yeah, that person’s perspective can be true and so can that person’s even if they’re different.

And that’s what I wanted to share with you today.

I’ve met some phenomenal people recently in the readings that I do, which by the way, I record a video on Zoom so people can review the whole reading and listen to it as often as they want because I often cram in like I’m cramming a lot of information in.

There as much as I can in that time period.

So if you’re interested in a reading, you know, many people are going through like extremely profound changes right now.

And sometimes it’s helpful to get a third party perspective because sometimes we just can’t see what’s right in front of us.

I know that happens with me and I have some very, very special and dear people in my life who are able to kind of mirror things back to me that I find extremely helpful.

So yeah, don’t be upset if you’re going through a period where things that used to work just don’t anymore.

You’re being called to step up to a higher level.

I can almost assure you if you’re remotely aware of your own consciousness.

So thanks with your patience while I went through what turned out to be one of the most profound and important and significant periods of my life.

And I had to do that on my own.

And I’ll be back as things get clearer to me and I gain a greater understanding because that’s what I want to offer people.

I want to offer people wisdom and understanding.

But we don’t have that sometimes when we are in the middle of very far-reaching changes.

For more detail, check the episode description for other episodes or articles that are related or that I mentioned.

And if you’re interested in a reading with me, I’ll put a link to that as well.

I have a 15% off special on currently.

Many sincere thanks to everyone who supports me, especially my YouTube members.

Thank you very much.

Take care, all the best, and I’ll talk to you again soon.

Don’t Look Down (too much)

June 4, 2024 / john / 0 Comments

I discuss why what we focus on matters and how to manage that for our Spiritual well-being and to aid in our Ascension.

Episode transcript:

Aquarian Diary entry June 4th, 2024

If you want to ascend, you can’t spend too much time looking down. You need to look up.

Down in this context can mean many things.

It can mean the past. We can’t spend too much time in the past if we want to level up.

It can mean being too focused on things that are negative.

It can mean focusing on things that are beneath us or beneath what we aspire to be.

Or it could mean being in a state of doubt, or apprehension, or fear.

If you want to climb a mountain, you need to spend most of your time looking up or you will never summit the mountain.

Now this is a pretty simple metaphor but it has come to my mind repeatedly recently and when that happens, I eventually figure out that it’s something I should share.

I believe I could make a pretty compelling argument, in fact, that much of the chaos that we have been seeing taking place in the world in recent years was deliberately engineered in order to distract us and get all of our consciousness focused on what is beneath us.

In effect, to hold us back. To prevent us from ascending. Contemplate that. Perhaps it’s all a diversion with insidious intentions?

Now I’m not suggesting that we should let people get away with doing things that are clearly wrong or unacceptable. I’m just saying that we need to spend a significant amount of our time being focused on what it is we want to achieve and what we want to be, not just what we don’t want to be.

Those of us on the Spiritual Path have powerful minds. Our consciousness is powerful and what we are focused on has a much greater impact than I think many people realize. I’m fairly confident that’s true for me too.

So I’m just making the argument that we need to be focused like an archer on our goal, on what we aspire to, at least a significant amount of the time.

We do not want to be dragged down or held back by the reality that other people inhabit or create, that is not in alignment with our true selves and our higher selves. We need to be focused on where we are going so we should be focused on things that are at our level or above our level.

It’s like if you have someone in your social circle and you always feel bad when you hang out with them or when you’re around them, what do you do? You generally avoid them. It’s the same thing.

It’s a very simple concept, but I’m not sure that everyone understands that this also applies to what we concentrate on or focus on as well.

Yesterday I offered a prayer.

I recently talked about the importance of being focused on the positive, especially right now, and there is a powerful and auspicious new moon in Gemini occurring in two days time by my calculations at 8:37am or 8:38am Eastern Time on Thursday, June 6th.

So if you haven’t already listened to those, I encourage you to do so. I’ll put links of course in the episode description.

Again, very simple, we need to understand the power of our mind and the power of our consciousness and the power of our focus.

When we focus on things, we embody or imbibe that energy. So if we’re too focused on things that are negative or beneath us or lower consciousness, we will imbibe that. We don’t want to be doing that too much. We want to be also, at the very least, balancing that out by focusing on things that are of higher vibration.

And this is why Spiritual Practice, regular Spiritual Practice, preferably daily, is so important because at least for that small amount of time we are focused on higher states of consciousness. And over time we will start to become that and transform into that and reflect that.

So no matter what has happened in the past, we can blossom into something that is of higher consciousness, but not if we are looking down all the time.

This New Moon is very powerful, in two days time.

If you would like to gain some insights from me as to how this might play out with your own astrology, what house it’s occurring in, what aspects it’s making, how this might manifest for you, you can book a little bit of time with me and I can look at your chart and read that for you.

It’s interesting, I just heard from somebody yesterday who I’d done a reading for months ago who said that my reading was very accurate and that what I said what happened has happened and I think they were a little bit skeptical initially, but it turned out to come to pass.

That’s the thing with astrology, it can take sometimes months or even years for some of these things to play out.

For more detail, check the episode description for other episodes or articles that are related or that I mentioned.

And if you’re interested in a reading with me, I’ll put a link to that as well. I have a 15% off special on currently.

Many sincere thanks to everyone who supports me, especially my YouTube members.

Thank you very much.

Take care, all the best, and I’ll talk to you again soon. Bye for now.

A Prayer For You

June 2, 2024 / john / 0 Comments

Aquarian Diary Entry June 2, 2024.

My recent episodes have focused on how this time is especially important and potent for manifesting abundance, love, and even possibly miracles, and I have advised that it is critical for us to be very clear about what it is that we truly desire.

With that in mind, I offer you the following prayer.

The Creator asked me “What do you desire?”. And I answered:

I desire inner and outer peace, love, harmony, bliss, enlightenment, healing, satisfaction, wisdom, the courage, to know who I truly am, to inspire, to share an abundance of blessings, to bring healing, light, upliftment, compassion and Divine Joy into this world, to express my full and unlimited potential, for my Soul to shine through in all that I do and with all those I encounter, for my Heart to sing, sing, sing so loudly that it rings across the Universe, and most importantly, to be near to You, to know You, to walk with You, for this, above all and always, is my True Heart’s Desire.

I discuss the current energies and astrology which are very potent for manifestation now and in the near future.

This is an excellent time to manifest love, relationships, abundance and prosperity. Some may even manifest a Soul Mate type relationship or what appear to be miracles.

Episode transcript:

Greetings all, welcome to Aquarian Diary.

I’m your host, John Irving.

It is June 1st, 2024.

I really care about you guys, and I want to draw your attention to something that I think is very important, especially over the next week or so.

I posted about this on my community tab here on YouTube just over two weeks ago, and I reminded people there again more recently about this as well, and I’ll show those posts here on the screen as well if you’re watching the video.

And that is that the energies right now are extremely supportive of potent manifestation.

But it initially came through to me during my spiritual practice, and I took numerous actions to support this.

And I would like everyone to be aware of it, because it’s occurring right around now and in the very near future.

Now these energies can facilitate everything from bringing in a special partner, romantic partner for you, that could potentially change your life, and in some cases for some people it might even be something like a soulmate.

That could be somebody new, or somebody who comes back to you from the past that you were strongly connected with.

It can also be an opening for making really good connections in terms of business, business partnerships, those kinds of things.

And it can certainly be about manifesting abundance and prosperity.

And I’m going to get into a little bit of the reasons behind this.

Often, in fact, things come to me psychically or intuitively before I connect the dots astrologically.

So how do you facilitate this?

How do you work with these energies?

I encourage everyone to listen to the episode that I just published yesterday on May 31st titled “Angst and Illumination” and in that episode I talked about how it’s important to be focused on the positive, to keep our vibration high, and that is important because these energies of manifestation are so powerful that insofar as it’s possible, we want to manifest the positive. So what comes in goes out.

Like for example, recently I have found negative things quite repulsive. I mean more than usual. Now I don’t think that’s going to be permanent, but I think it’s just critically important right now because things will reflect in our three-dimensional experience.

So that’s number one. Keep yourself inspired and uplifted. Pay attention to things that make you feel positive and good.

Number two. Clear your energies.

What do I mean by that? Smudging, you know, things like sage. Cleaning, cleaning yourself, showering, bathing, taking things like salt baths, smudge yourself, smudge your jewelry, open your doors on a nice sunny day, clear out the energy, clear your crystals, clear the things around you, clear your mind, let go of things from the past.

There’s a major shift in cycles occurring and you want to let go of the energies and consciousness from the past. Like even if you’ve been going through a really rough period, and some of us have, please have the capacity to believe in miracles because they could potentially happen now.

Like for example, if you met somebody who turns out to be like a soulmate for you, that’s a miracle. And I’m sure many people would love to experience that.

But sometimes a lot of things need to end or complete, and that means they need to be removed from our life to create space and opportunity for these new things to come in. So a lot of us have been experiencing a lot of detachment and release and endings in our lives to make space for this new stuff to come in.

And as I talked about in yesterday’s episode, that can be quite painful because we can be attached to things, even if they’re negative, we get habituated to them. So release, release, release, clear, clear, clear.

Number three, be clear about what you desire. I wrote this in my posts. Again, check the screen.

Be very clear about what it is you want. Imagine you’re talking to God and God says, “What do you want?” Do you have an answer? What do you want to experience? What kind of life do you want to have?

Be very clear and simple. Happiness, love, joy, bliss, enlightenment, satisfaction, peace, harmony, good friends, happy family, work that inspires you and that motivates you and that makes a difference in the world, world peace, a healthy environment, whatever it is.

I find personally that writing things down gives them power, but certainly speaking them out loud. For example, do your spiritual practice, pray, speak to the Creator, even if you have reservations or doubts, express what kind of life you want to have.

I think the ultimate experience that we would all desire, if we boil it down to its most simple, would be that when my life is complete, I am tremendously happy about my experience and what I learned and what I mastered and the people that I helped and the people that I loved and so forth.

Try not to get too detailed because sometimes the things that will really fulfill us haven’t even entered our mind yet. So I would suggest keeping it fairly broad. Paint with broad brush strokes, but just make sure you cover all the bases.

Now I’m not saying you’re going to get everything you desire because part of life is being challenged so that we can grow and challenges are not necessarily easy by definition, but at least you’re establishing a framework.

So let’s look at what’s going on astrologically.

On May 25th, Jupiter moved into Gemini, the opposite sign of its rulership, Sagittarius. Sagittarius is fire, Gemini is air. This is a potent place for Jupiter.

It had previously been in Taurus. Taurus is an earth energy and although it was very good in Taurus for very practical things like real estate and money, it was very earthy.

So if you’re not like a super pragmatic, businessy banker, investor type person, you know, take the stock market for example. It hit record highs just before Jupiter left Taurus. So this air energy is just more supportive of Jupiter’s qualities, which is all about learning and knowledge and information.

On June 2nd, that’s tomorrow, tomorrow night, Jupiter is forming a trine with Pluto in Aquarius. Trine between Jupiter and Pluto is phenomenally powerful for prosperity and abundance. Come on, it’s like Jupiter is all the good stuff, if not too much of it, and Pluto is about power. So we have a trine between air signs of Jupiter and Pluto. That’s huge.

But there’s one more thing that is especially potent, which is that on June 6th, there is a new moon at 16 degrees and 18 minutes of Gemini. And at that very time, Venus is almost exactly conjunct that new moon. This is new beginnings in the opposite sign of Jupiter conjunct Venus.

Venus represents nice, pleasurable things, including love and money. So it’s like a new beginning that brings in that beautiful energy of Venus.

And at that time, Jupiter is still within about a degree of trining Pluto in Aquarius. And we’ve got Jupiter, Mercury, the Sun, the Moon, Venus, all in Gemini at that point in time.

And as well, this new moon is also making positive aspects to the transiting nodes. Sextiling the North Node, trining the South Node.

So this trine to the South Node may be why in some cases, things that occur may be linked to things from the past, and that they may be karmic or past life kind of things, or things from earlier on in your life that were not completed, or fate or destiny, or soul contracts that were made prior to your incarnation, of course.

Now there is a square between this new moon and Saturn in Pisces, within about two and a half degrees. I think that square to Saturn is basically saying what is meant to be will be, and what isn’t, won’t.

So if you’re pushing something uphill, you’re probably advised to quit or give it up or let go, whatever that is or whatever that represents for you, because Saturn will block it. Saturn is very karmic. So letting go of what no longer serves you or isn’t working for you is an important part of this process.

Contrary to what a lot of people think, Saturn wants what is in your highest good, whether you realize it or not. But it’s a tough love energy.

Sagittarius and Sag rising in particular right now, significant relationships have a lot of potential to occur. Jupiter will be in Gemini for a year, and Jupiter’s cycle is every 12 years, one year per sign or house.

If what I’ve been saying here about the astrology sounds like gobbledygook to you, you can book a reading with me and I can fill you in on what house this is occurring in, what aspects it’s making, and so forth, because that will have a lot of bearing on how this plays out and in what areas of life.

But I’m going here on my intuition and the guidance I’ve been receiving for over two weeks now, and I would like people to consider what I’m suggesting. Take advantage of this.

I’m not promising miracles, but the things I’ve been talking about have been on my mind almost every day now for over two weeks.

So I really felt like I should share this with you, because it could be very important.

So be open, be clear, be optimistic, be positive. Focus on your highest goals and aspirations. Have faith, and we’ll see what happens.

Take care, all the best, and I’ll talk to you again soon.

Angst and Illumination – Let Go to Level Up

I discuss the current energies of dramatic change and levelling up and how to navigate this. It involves much release in order to embrace the new or ascension. This can be more challenging than some expect.

Episode transcript:

Greetings all, welcome to Aquarian Diary.

I’m your host, John Irving.

It is May 31st, 2024.

Hi everyone, it has been a while since I have been on here, and there’s good reason for that. I have been going through a completion phase, which has demanded that I spend a lot of time in introspection and self-reflection, and kind of cocoon a bit, because a major cycle is closing for me.

And I’m sharing this with you because this may apply to you as well, and sometimes it’s helpful to recognize that what we’re going through is not specific to us. It helps lend context.

I’m not completely out of that phase yet, but I’m pretty deep into it. Actually I believe the shift has already occurred, but if I was a tarot card I would be the fool, which is where I’m in a new energy, in a new state of consciousness, in a new place, but I haven’t acclimated to these new energies yet.

In fact, using my own astrology, I was able to calculate that what I’m experiencing now is the sixth fool card moment of my life, or the sixth new major beginning of my life. It may work differently for others, depending on your astrology. And so this is definitely a big transition for me.

And one of the things about these kinds of transitions, or being in this kind of liminal stage, is that it can be very confusing. And that is because in order to shift into a higher state, many of the things that we were associated with in the previous cycle have to come to an end.

And that can include anything from work, to relationships, to friendships, to self-identity, to topics or fields of interest. We need to kind of go through the tower or the death moment in order to facilitate this shift, because you can’t take stuff from a lower dimension with you into the higher dimension. Those energies simply cannot exist there. They do not resonate.

Yet, of course, because we’re familiar with these things, and we love them in many cases, and we’re attached to them, and they’ve been with us for a long time, it can feel very painful to let these things go, and we can resist this shift.

Many areas of my life came to a complete and grinding halt, and it’s caused a lot of havoc for me. And it’s been very challenging. As I’ve been sitting there going like, “What is going on? I feel like I’m being blocked. I feel like I’m being limited. I don’t know what to do.”

And yet, at the same time, I have had a lot of very profound and deep and meaningful spiritual experiences recently in the past month or two.

I have a long history of being actively engaged in spirituality, and I have had what I call many peak experiences in my life where I will always treasure those moments, those experiences, those times where I had really profound and deeply moving spiritual experiences that really stand out and are like beacons to me.

Those are the kinds of things that keep you going through the hard times because you know that you can connect with the Divine, and that the Divine exists, and that it loves you, and that it wants you to evolve, and it wants you to express your full potential.

Well I have had at least three or four of those in the past month or two, which is quite remarkable because these things don’t occur very often.

Everybody seeks out these kinds of experiences and desires them, of course, because they’re so deeply profound and uplifting, but they don’t tend to happen all that often. So for these to occur in such rapid succession for me is quite impressive as far as I’m concerned.

So what this shows me is that we have this potential now, these energies are shifting not just for us but for the whole world, and we can level up and move up into higher levels of consciousness.

And what many people don’t really understand is that when we shift dimensionally, what is true on one dimension isn’t true on another. It’s a completely different reality.

I’ve talked for a very long time here about things like paradigm shifts, going back to the earliest episodes that I published. This is a paradigm shift where suddenly everything is different, the past is different, the future is different, the present is different.

And when we go through these kinds of shifts, suddenly a lot of things just don’t resonate or they don’t even belong anymore. And so these shifts can be quite challenging.

And even if we have a moment of enlightenment where we just suddenly everything changes, it still takes time for our lives to change and to reorient themselves and for our relationships to change and our friends. It’s a huge thing.

In practical terms, you can think of moving to a completely different city where you don’t know anybody. And it’s really exciting because it’s an amazing city and there’s lots to do and lots to explore, but you’re totally at ground zero. You don’t know where all the great places to go are, you don’t know where you’re going to meet people that you connect with and all that kind of stuff. So there’s anticipation and excitement and at the same time you’re disoriented. Well that’s where I’m at now and I suspect that many of you are there too.

The most important thing I want to convey to you, and this is really important, is that to connect to these higher dimensions of consciousness, we can’t take negativity in particular with us. We can’t take weighty, heavy things. They just don’t belong there. In fact, they will never, they will never shift with us into that higher dimension, at least as we understand them, because they literally can’t exist there. They’re incompatible.

And then the other really important thing about this is that when you’re in higher states of consciousness, think of it like being illuminated. And what does illumination do? It produces a tremendous amount of contrast with the darkness. So you suddenly see things very clearly and very starkly because the contrast is even more extreme now than it used to be.

It’s like you had a 30 watt light bulb before, speaking about old-fashioned light bulbs, and now it’s a hundred watts and like you see all of the imperfections in the walls, in the floor, in the ceiling.

In fact, about a week ago I was thinking, “Am I going to have to start wearing like really dark sunglasses?” Because I’ve met psychics who have to do that. I’m not exaggerating.

So when we see things in such stark contrast, it can be a bit disturbing, especially in the beginning. Again, I’ve met really psychic people who had to be like hermits because they would just see everything and it was too much. I’m not advocating that for me or for you, but it’s just a concept.

So during this liminal or transitional stage, you can kind of bounce back and forth between these two realities, these two dimensions, depending on your state.

So in my case, what I found is that now I just look at people or things or articles or stuff on the internet or whatever, and I immediately go into that energy very strongly. It’s like I’m just there. Whether it’s a person that’s talking or writing or a topic even. There’s some things I just can’t look at now because they’re just dark or negative, and then it makes me negative or it’ll make me angry.

And there’s a lot to be angry about, really, honestly. But I have to be very careful now about what I expose myself to, because what happens is that if I expose myself to the wrong things, it’ll actually bring my energy or vibration down.

I don’t know if that’s just a temporary thing or it’ll be more permanent, yet. We’ll see.

I mean, I’m still aware of what’s going on in the world. I just have to be very careful about what I let myself be exposed to relative to the past. I’m just much more sensitive than I was before. So that’s part of this cocooning that I’ve been doing.

On the other hand, there’s some really lovely things and people out there that you can entertain yourself with, whether you’re listening to somebody or reading something or whatever, and they have a really lovely energy, and that’s wonderful because it’ll uplift you.

Another aspect of this that I have found is that I’m able to identify dimensions. So some people talk about things, like say, for example, readers. They’ll talk about something and what they’re saying is really accurate, but I can identify that it is constrained within a particular dimension of reality. And that if you observe the same thing or contemplated the same questions from another dimension, it would have a dramatically different meaning.

So again, what’s true on one dimension may be true, but on another dimension it has a completely different meaning or value. So two people can observe or have very similar experiences, but perceive them very differently depending on what dimension you’re perceiving it from.

And I have talked also about multi-dimensional reality going way back to the earliest episodes I’ve published. This is the kind of stuff I’ve been experiencing. I think this is actually happening on the collective based on what I’m observing.

And what it means is that we’re going through a huge period of change and things are shifting very quickly, that many of us are in this transitional phase, which can be quite disturbing and it can imply that we need to make a lot of changes in our practical lives. Relationships work where we live, who we associate with. A lot of things could be ending and a lot of things could be beginning.

So a bit of a roller coaster thing going on there.

But it has really profound implications because a lot of us may be shifting into a higher state of consciousness, just as I have also been predicting would occur and I’ve also been predicting that for a very long time as well. I think some people may have thought I was exaggerating or premature, but I think I’m being proved right.

So be aware of this and if you want to tap into these higher states of consciousness more regularly, I suggest that people be aware of how their energy is shifting depending on what they’re doing, who they’re around, what they’re focused on, and do things that will inspire and uplift and motivate you.

That is to be more positive so that you can be lighter. And that could be things like music, art, being in nature, being around other people of a high vibration that you resonate with, spiritual practice, acts of devotion, acts of kindness and compassion. Basically what uplifts you.

Being around water and yes, showers and bathing or smudging and clearing are very helpful right now because we need to shake off some of the old energies or the old consciousness that we have outgrown.

But there’s no doubt that this can be a bit of a challenge because like I said, there’s a lot of things that we need to let go of and some of it can even go into past lives.

It seems to me that what is occurring now is unprecedented, at least in human history as far as we know it, on a collective level. And to me, that is a really good thing.

But just as there are many things that are going to have to change in our personal lives, many things are going to have to change collectively. There’s going to be a lot of things that just simply do not resonate with this higher state of consciousness and they’re going to have to either change or be let go of. And that, I think, is going to have profound implications.

It may be that there’s just like a first wave of us that are going through this, but there will be people that follow in greater numbers. So we might be the tip of the iceberg, but the iceberg is actually quite large.

And also, presumably, there will be some kind of event, a critical mass or something that occurs where everything just suddenly flips over. It’s either going to be something like the timeline split I have talked about, or just the weight of momentum is going to carry the collective over into this new reality. And that remains to be seen because that as well is also unprecedented.

To be completely honest, I don’t see any way of us getting through this on the collective without a significant amount of disruption. I mean, how could there not be?

I’ve always been kind of ahead of the curve and if other people go through what I’ve been experiencing at some point, yeah, there’s going to be a lot of disruption.

This has been, on the one hand, incredibly difficult and challenging, and on the other, incredibly uplifting and enlightening. But I think that’s the point. We have to go through the darkness to get to the light.

Episode transcript:

Greetings all, welcome to Aquarian Diary.

I’m your host, John Irving.

It is April 22nd, 2024.

Darkness is the absence of Light.

Now that sounds like I’m stating the obvious, and I am. But hold that thought.

Like many things, the contrast between Light and Darkness is a continuum.

One of the main features of being on the Spiritual Path is the interplay between the Light and the Darkness. As we embody more Light, the contrast becomes more extreme.

There are no shadows in the Darkness. There are only shadows in the presence of Light.

And this, I think, is one of the things that many people don’t really fully understand or appreciate about being on the Spiritual Path, is that as you embody, or experience, or manifest more Light, you become more aware of your Darkness.

Darkness typically pertains to our wounding, but it can also pertain to our ego, our selfishness, our separateness, our desire to control or manipulate, etc.

I myself have had this demonstrated to me countless times. I have been very fortunate at times to be in the presence of very evolved beings in the physical. And when you’re in their presence, you can become aware of your Darkness in very shocking and dramatic ways.

The Darkness in the presence of Light can actually react very violently. The Light threatens it, because when the Darkness is illuminated, it can’t hide. There is nowhere to run.

It can’t feign ignorance. It can’t deny itself and its true nature, because its true nature is weakness, which is the last thing that the Darkness wants to admit.

Those of us who seek out the Light are going to have to go through a very lengthy and extended process of grappling with our Darkness. It is unavoidable.

Many of us think that we can just bliss out in the Light or transcend, transcend our lower nature, and that can happen sometimes, for a period of time. But ultimately, if you have not resolved, or confronted, or healed your Darkness, it will ALWAYS trip you up. You cannot circumvent it.

This is why I always, always encourage people to do their shadow work.

If you evolve too quickly, and you have unresolved Darkness, it can trip you up in very painful and dramatic ways. You can come crashing back down to where you were. It is your Achilles heel, and it must be mastered.

So again, I think this is a common misconception in the Spiritual community that we are just going to suddenly gain enLightenment, like flicking on a switch, without having a solid foundation of purity and truth and clarity and wisdom to sustain us.

Many people are probably aware of the notion that, for example, when some people channel powerful, evolved beings, these beings have to basically constrain or limit or dilute their energy so as not to harm the channel. This is because the channel in question is unable to sustain or contain the levels of Light that the evolved being holds or carries.

The Light would literally destroy, in other words, kill, the channel if it was not highly constrained, or dumbed down would be another way of putting it. The limiting factor is the Darkness or unconsciousness within the channel.

Thus, we must constantly be purifying and advancing ourselves as we climb up the ladder of evolution, so to speak.

So anybody who is on the Spiritual Path seriously, and I don’t mean dabbling in psychic phenomenon, it’s much more than that, I mean someone who is really on the path consciously, of advancing themselves, is going to constantly be confronted by aspects of Darkness within them. Many of which they may be completely unconscious of, but will become conscious of, must become conscious of, must conquer, advance, and heal. It is a process of purification.

And let’s not kid ourselves, there are not very many people, relatively speaking, who are fully consciously on a Spiritual Path.

Some of these obstacles, some of this Darkness, like I said, can be completely unconscious. Often it has existed for many lifetimes, and it is so inherent and embedded in the individual that they just assume that it is part of reality, part of their paradigm, when in fact it is arbitrary.

It is not real, it is a figment of their imagination, a figment of their experience, a figment of their past life experiences. And part of the process of Spiritual evolution is to become aware of what those things are and transform them so that they no longer represent threats or vulnerabilities.

Like I said before, I have had experiences in the presence of highly evolved beings where my Darkness expressed itself in ways that were completely shocking to me. The Darkness can lash out at, and want to attack, the Light because the Light threatens its existence.

In the presence of Light, the Darkness will no longer exist. It illuminates it and dissolves it.

So yes, the Light is literally a threat to the Darkness, and the Darkness can take on almost a consciousness of its own, and again, we may not be consciously aware of this.

This process is not easy. I have had many, many experiences where my own personal Light has triggered a negative response from others, also in rather shocking ways. I could give many examples of how that has occurred.

So if you are someone who embodies or carries relatively more Light than those in your immediate environment, you can be constantly triggering them and they can react, sometimes in very strange and weird ways, towards you.

And at times, you may ask yourself, “Why do people act this way towards me?” Well that’s one possible explanation.

Your very existence is extremely triggering to those people. It will cause them to do things that even they might ask themselves, “Why do I behave this way in the presence of this person?”

Sometimes, people who carry a lot of Light or more Light, relatively than most people in their experience, sometimes these people have to detach a bit from society and become more reclusive, simply to protect themselves.

Now I’m not encouraging you to become a hermit, but that’s not an uncommon experience.

Again, this notion or belief that we can just bliss out and escape reality or transcend reality is not true, at least in the way many people understand it.

There is a great deal of Darkness here on earth. It pervades many things.

There is Light as well, but the Light does not act aggressively. The Darkness does.

A small example.

At one time, when I was doing a lot of Spiritual practice, and I mean hours and hours a day, I was walking down the street and another pedestrian approached as I was walking down the sidewalk. And just as they passed me, they punched me energetically. They punched me really hard right in the heart chakra.

And I was completely stunned and shaken by this.

The person who passed me by – I have no idea whether they were conscious of this or not – but this really affected me and it affected me for days after.

It’s like their energetic being hated me, just hated me, and whacked me, punched me full force like a sucker punch right in the chest. Bam!

And I wasn’t expecting this at all. I was in a really good mood. I was just smiling.

But it was my state of being that triggered this rage on some level in this person who obviously carried a lot of Darkness.

Another example was once when I walked into a little retail store and I shopped around for a while and then I approached the cash. And as I approached the counter, the girl behind the counter just backed up, just backed away instinctively. And she backed right up to the wall. And even her co-workers kind of looked at her and went like, “What? Why are you doing that?”

I wasn’t projecting any negativity or harm or anything like that towards this person, but I presume it was something similar to what I experienced walking down the street.

So this can occur more subtly in all kinds of ways in the course of our daily life.

If you listen to my last couple episodes as well, that may also be illuminating.

So don’t kid yourself. This is not an easy path to bring Light into the Darkness, and it can manifest in a myriad of ways.

A lot of the nihilism that we’re witnessing in the world right now is a reflection of that. It is because the energies here are being uplifted and people are freaking out. They’re being triggered constantly.

People don’t want to see their Darkness. They fear it. They want to live in the shadows. They do not want to be illuminated.

There’s ignorance, which is just not knowing something, and then there’s willful ignorance, which is a conscious rejection of the Light.

Because the Light is a threat to their identity and persona, at least as they understand it.

They do not yet know that their identity is merely a fabrication. To them, their existence and their identity are one and the same. They do not know that they are Spiritual beings living in a physical body. They think that they are a composite of their thoughts and beliefs and what they’ve been told and what they’ve learned and how other people identify with them. They believe that the Maya or illusion is who they are.

And as we know, the whole process and purpose of Spiritual growth and evolution is to recognize that that is not what we are. That is just a byproduct of being in the third dimension.

I need a trade or a skill to make a living. I have to pay my mortgage. I have duties and responsibilities. I have a place or a status in the community and all that stuff, which is all just, you know, transitory and part of the illusion. But to them, that is their identity.

And when their identity is threatened, they completely freak out. And like I said, in extreme cases, they can react even very violently against the Light.

Self-preservation is one of the strongest instincts of all. It is hardwired into every living thing. So when we feel threatened, no matter on what level, we can respond very forcefully and unconsciously.

And those examples I gave you, those two little examples, walking down the street, being in a store, those are just two of countless examples I could give you. Sometimes people really dislike you and it has nothing to do with your personality.

So what do you do? Well, obviously, you avoid people who are dangerous. That’s just common sense.

Highly evolved beings, when they are in the presence of people, they will often project a tremendous amount of compassion, and people feel that. So it lessens the shock of the Light. It makes people feel comfortable. They know they’re doing this. And people can fall in love with that compassion.

But if they were to shine all of their Light, like I said, it can literally damage people.

I thought I would share that because I don’t think some people really understand the dynamic between Light and Darkness. And it’s critical to understand what is happening in the world right now and why.

Now just to be clear, a couple really important caveats.

As we all know, right now, there is a tremendous amount of delusion in this world. So we have to be careful that we do not confuse the Light with the Darkness.

The Light will always reveal the Darkness and truth. It will not reinforce the Darkness.

It’s typically uncomfortable to recognize the Light or allow it to permeate us and our reality. There can be an awful lot of resistance to it. Not always, but often.

Have you ever noticed sometimes that when you offer assistance to people or insights, they just suddenly disappear and never follow through?

Secondly, I am by no means encouraging people to be overly provocative with their truth, to bludgeon people, or to cause people harm. It is not to be used with force.

If we are unable to discern when we should be compassionate or gentle or keep our mouth shut, we still have a lot to learn.

So again, we should not use our consciousness as a weapon. That is actually Darkness. We’re not like 007 “Licensed to Kill”, right?

So we ask, why am I being attacked for being authentic? And I can tell you this as well, which not many people will say.

I have been attacked, or blocked, in various ways, by many people that you would not think would do such things.

The Darkness often likes to disguise itself as the Light. That is a very hard lesson. So we need to be vigilantly aware and conscious and not easily let our guard down until we verify. Trust but verify. And that applies to me as well.

Often when the Darkness masquerades as the Light, there will be subtle clues, little slips or tells, little actions, little deeds that give it away, where you recognize that it is not authentic.

Now none of us are perfect, myself included. We all screw up. We all make mistakes.

But the differentiating factor is the intent. What is the intent?

Is someone trying to be a good person? Is someone living by the golden rule, “Do unto others as you would have them do unto you”? It’s really simple.

Most people on the Spiritual Path are going to have a lot of experiences where they are let down, or betrayed, or disillusioned, by people and situations or beliefs or belief systems or institutions or whatever it is.

It is very very hard to mirror higher dimensional reality here in three dimensional reality. It is excruciatingly difficult.

Perfection is extremely elusive and ultimately you’re probably going to find that the only place where you can experience the manifestation of that is through your own inner consciousness and not in the outer world. Our world is full of paradoxes.

This is why Spiritual practice and things like meditation are so important because that is where we can connect with higher dimensional energies.

Directly not through some flawed or fragmented misrepresentation of higher truth, be it an ideology, a religion, a belief system, an intermediary or whatever the case may be.

People that are generally unconscious or low consciousness, tend to be more gullible or vulnerable to manipulation. So often the Darkness will manipulate such people to get at you and that is why it is important to keep good company and to not inadvertently make yourself vulnerable to such influences.

Some people can be shockingly superficial, and self-serving, and judgmental about things they should know better than to be judgmental about. Say for example like your appearance, or your innate mannerisms or character or habits or lifestyle or say you question their fundamental beliefs or assumptions.

Clearly we need to be discerning about who we make ourselves vulnerable to, and I can assure you that this will be a constant challenge on your Spiritual Path. This I believe in particular is grossly underestimated in terms of its impact on you. I regret to say that, but it’s true.

There are certain astrological transits that will bring these kinds of themes to the fore.

It could be Pluto transits, or Neptune transits or transits, through the 12th house, and especially Chiron transits. Like Chiron in aspect to your personal planets or Chiron transiting your first house. You’re going to experience these kinds of things, and most of us will at some point.

Anyway I hope that’s helpful. This is very much off the cuff and I hope I’ve managed to express what I wanted to express adequately and in a way that makes sense.

Mercury is currently still retrograde so fingers crossed.

Episode transcript:

Greetings all, welcome to Aquarian Diary.

I’m your host, John Irving. It is April 21st, 2024.

Yesterday we had a fairly rare conjunction of Jupiter and Uranus at just under 22 degrees of Taurus. Jupiter being the great benefic and Uranus being the planet of dramatic change. I felt that this would be a very important point and I had some very interesting experiences yesterday.

I noticed in my YouTube feed that there were many readers that I had never seen before, and that I was unfamiliar with, who had posted recently about great positive changes coming for Sagittarius. I’m a Sag.

These days I don’t normally listen to or watch a lot of videos on YouTube, ironically, but this of course perked my interest. So I listened to a whole bunch of them and again, like I said, these are people or channels that I’ve never seen before. Very Uranian.

They were mostly tarot readers or intuitives and there was quite a consistent theme in all these readings, which I found very interesting. Many people spoke about how a great cycle was ending and a new one was beginning. One even mentioned a split occurring, a split in the timeline or reality – two worlds – that she had commented on previously, and I have done that here myself for quite some time.

Another thing that happened was that I had some insights, or a download, about something really remarkable that relates to astrology that I have never come across before. I spent a few hours digging into this and I realized that this can indicate major cycles in life and the timing of them. There are not many of them. They occur only a few times in a lifetime. So that is something that I want to research more and I will probably comment on later. But it was a very significant breakthrough that has really profound implications. Again, I’ve never come across this before, but it works.

So the theme was great change and like I said, the beginning and endings of cycles, some of which are more than a decade old.

In my case, I am ending a cycle that is about 14 or 15 or even 16 years long and it’s been a tough, tough slog. For me personally, there was also validation about my own experience and why it occurred and what it means. It affirmed my own research into the astrological aspects of this.

I ended my day late last night with my daily spiritual practice. Although it was significantly longer than normal, and I did all of my usual clearings and protections, but I also spent a significant amount of time on setting major new intentions for this next cycle. And I described very clearly, and in a great amount of detail, what I want my reality to look like, how I want it to manifest.

I felt guided to do this and I felt it was very important. It felt to me like there were more beings present while this was occurring than would normally be the case.

In addition to being very clear about my intentions and what I desire, I spent a lot of time clearing out old energies, old connections, old chords with people and situations that were very much a part of the cycle I am leaving behind. So we have to clear and release and detach from the past in order to bring in these new energies and manifest our new desires.

And what could represent desires more than Jupiter in Taurus, and Uranus meeting Jupiter, to bring about radical changes that are positive and beneficial and that are grounded and rooted in reality Taurus. So I would encourage you to do the same.

My previous episode focused a lot about the importance of letting go and leaving behind people and connections that no longer serve us and that rang true as well. That was titled “Judgment is Upon Us” and I published it on April 18th. This is extremely important.

The reason I’m publishing this episode now is because I want to share why this matters.

I woke this morning and I was reflecting on my day yesterday, it being a very important day, following the April 8th eclipse in Aries, “new beginnings”, conjunct Chiron, our wounding. The April 8th eclipse called upon us to release and clear our sadness and grief, our burdens in other words, burdens that we no longer need to carry. Again, the episode I published on April 18th.

The awareness that I had today, the day after Jupiter and Uranus conjuncted exactly in Taurus, is that the reason I came across and saw all of those other channels talking about spirituality and the energies that are at play right now, and what they all mean, was to demonstrate to me how many of the things I have been talking about here on my channel are actually happening. It was a validation.

Here we have all of these people, people that weren’t there before, saying similar things in their own ways. This is tremendously exciting. This shift or ascension or this waking up that many of us have prophesied, myself included, is actually happening. It’s happening very spontaneously and it’s happening very quickly. This is a phenomenally good thing.

It tells us that this shift, that many of us have been expecting and talking about, is actually happening.

There have been a few times, in the recent past, where I thought that some people may be doting me and my work because many of the things that I predicted didn’t seem to be happening.

I checked the math and it was two years, seven months, and eleven days ago that I published my first episode. Two years, seven months, and eleven days. Two plus seven, plus one, plus one, equals eleven.

I have published many episodes speaking about how this new reality of us entering the age of Aquarius would manifest.

I’m telling you right now that all of these people out there with their YouTube channels who are doing tarot readings and psychic readings, these people who are coming out of the woodwork, they represent just the tip of the iceberg. For every one of them, there’s probably thousands who are having similar experiences but who haven’t started YouTube channels. And that was why I was guided to peruse all those YouTube channels yesterday.

This is very important and it is linked to these recent eclipses in Libra, Aries, and this conjunction of Jupiter and Uranus in Taurus.

New beginnings. The script has flipped.

Don’t expect the world to change on a dime. That’s not going to happen.

But for many people who have really struggled and had a hard time, feeling almost like they were being blocked or repressed or oppressed, in some cases, for many years, there could be a dramatic turn of fortune.

So I encourage you to follow my advice and clear out the cobwebs of the past to disconnect from people and situations that reflected the prior cycle that you were in. To create space for the new one and to be very clear about what you want to manifest and how you want your life to look in very practical and pragmatic terms. We will be in this energy for quite some time.

And that’s the important message that I want to share with you today, which is fundamentally that yes, it’s actually happening.

In fact, last night I had this insight where I asked myself, maybe everything that I have been expecting and anticipating and talking about is more real than even I accept or believe. That we are entering into this multi-dimensional reality and consciousness that transcends anything we’ve ever experienced before.

It can be hard for us to accept or believe that because it is so outrageously different from the past. That we are going to be consciously connected to each other in very subtle and very psychic ways. Again, humanity has never experienced anything like this before.

So it’s going to take us a bit of time to realize that this is actually happening and our wildest expectations can come true.

The thing about this transit of Jupiter and Uranus is that if you’ve been on the bottom, so to speak, you can suddenly be on the top. And if you’ve been on the top, you can suddenly be on the bottom. Uranus can go either way. Things get turned on their head in an instant.

So some people are going to experience this positively and some people are going to experience this negatively. Things can suddenly go from one extreme to the other.

Some of us have actually had people, subversively or covertly, working at cross purposes to us for years. Kind of like frenemies.

For example, they were motivated by jealousy or spite. Who wanted us to stay the way we were, or to be oppressed, or to not succeed. Secretly wishing us harm or failure. Or they wanted to steal our light. They felt that they should be us.

It’s a vampiric or parasitic relationship where these people refused to do their shadow work, even if they professed otherwise. And often they were draining our energy.

And many of us who are empathic can be quite naive about this. We don’t want to believe that some people are fundamentally darkly oriented. Because we don’t really wish harm on anyone. Even our so-called enemies.

And so, like I said, they’ve been working at cross purposes to us. And these are the kind of connections we need to release, and clear, and let go of.

Finally, after all these years, the tables now turn. It plays into the theme of the karmic comeuppance I have often talked about here. The meek shall inherit the earth. So keep that in mind as well.

And again, do your spiritual practice. Set your intentions. Clear out energies from the past. It’s like we’ve gone through a paradigm shift. And it’s occurred very suddenly and very quickly.

There’s a song from a very rare album that was released in 1968. And I have this album, actually, and have listened to it many times. It’s extremely quirky, but I love it.

And it was by a band called The Incredible String Band. And the album was called Wee Tam. I’d love to include it here, but I’m not sure I can without breaking copyright. So I’ll link it in the episode description.

There’s a refrain in the first song that goes like this, and this was on my mind for the past few days.

We’ll understand it better in the sweet by and by.

All will be One, all will be One.

You won’t need to worry and you won’t have to cry.

Over in the Old Golden Land.

In the Golden Book of the Golden Game, the Golden Angel wrote my name.

When the deal goes down, I’ll put on my Crown.

Judgement Is Upon Us

April 18, 2024 / john / 0 Comments

I describe how it feels like Judgement is Upon Us and what we need to let go of to ease this transition.

Episode transcript:

Greetings all, welcome to Aquarian Diary.

I’m your host, John Irving.

It is April 18th, 2024.

It feels like Judgment is Upon Us.

The spectrum between Darkness and Light is a continuum.

At one extreme are those consciously and deliberately aligned with the Darkness. They choose malevolence and self-gratification as a path, denying to themselves that their actions cause harm to others.

The other end of the dark side of the spectrum is characterized by acts or deeds made in ignorance. A part of us always knows we are doing this, though, and they add to our karmic burden of regrets. Neither the weight of Truth or lies can be easily dispelled.

Ultimately, we are all striving for Perfection and nothing less will satisfy us. The older our Soul is, the more we have come and gone, the more we honor this. Maintaining our integrity in all things and in all ways becomes increasingly imperative.

It is the Guiding Light that beckons us to our highest ambition, to reflect the Divine in all of its Purity, Perfection, and Compassion.

As we walk the Spiritual Path, we are constantly tested both by the forces of Darkness and the forces of Light.

The Darkness is easily identified. It is crudely self-evident. It is comically absurd, blatantly hypocritical, illogical, defies facts, reason, and evidence, employs lies, deception, manipulation, and even force or violence. It is parasitic. It takes at others’ expense.

It is self-aggrandizing and self-oriented. It shields itself from Truth by embracing willful ignorance, thus dispelling Light in a self-reinforcing feedback loop. It eats itself.

The Darkness is always tugging at us. It relentlessly seeks out our weaknesses and vulnerabilities. It tests our resolve.

The more advanced or powerful we are, the more we are challenged. Will we compromise ourselves?

The Light, on the other hand, never coerces or imposes its will upon us. It allows us to choose our own path. It has no need to employ force. It never seeks to harm us or others. It always aims to uplift. We must call upon it of our own Free Will.

Contrary to what many believe, we are not judged; we judge ourselves. Our failures, flaws, and regrets are our own undoing.

We will tell ourselves that we could have done better, that we should have done better, that we can do better, and we will try again for as long as it takes, even if it takes eternity.

Perfection, to emulate the Divine is our only true ambition.

There may be a handful of humans presently walking this earth that have achieved Perfection Consciousness. Indeed, there may be none. There are many, though, that aspire to it, and I count myself as one.

There are many aspects of our current time that make our hearts heavy. Many are being tested by the Darkness that surrounds us, and many sadly succumb.

As devotees of Truth, this can be gut-wrenching to observe. Having been on the agonizing journey of peeling back layer after layer of ignorance, illusion, and self-deception, we understand the implications. We desire Perfection for All.

We feel empathy for those who lose their way. We know that the further down the path of Darkness one goes, the longer the journey home becomes.

At every turn these days, Darkness is increasingly self-evident. People we expect better from defend and endorse acts of sheer depravity. If not overtly, they do so tacitly.

What was largely suppressed or unspoken now confronts us more and more viscerally. It can’t be ignored. We feel it intensely. When we encounter or observe it, it feels like a gut-punch.

Belligerent ignorance is celebrated. Callousness is weaponized. Lust, greed, and superficiality are worshipped. Unbridled narcissism is a virtue. Injustice and oppression are cravenly rationalized and justified. Brazen and shameless lying has been normalized and is deployed on an industrial scale. Malevolent deception is commonplace. Our most vulnerable are under attack. We are constantly persuaded to deny or ignore what we see with our very own eyes.

People who express compassion are being persecuted. People who value truth and integrity are being prosecuted. People are afraid to question obvious injustices. Darkness and ignorance seems to be sweeping our world. Truth is inverted. Black is white and up is down.

Yet the Golden Rule remains paramount: Do unto others as you would have them do unto you.

One can’t help but think that Judgment must be upon us. That this is a collective test. That these polarizing times are cleaving us apart. Two separate realities. Two paths.

Hold on to your humanity, your decency, your self-respect, your higher values. Do not cave to the temptation or dismiss the Voice of your Heart, your Truth. Do not be overcome by grief, by the choices others make. The sides being taken, the lines being drawn.

This is the root of much of the grief we are currently experiencing. We have been on a long, almost timeless journey together, but now our paths must diverge. As we part ways, as we bid farewell, some sadness will be felt.

As one journey completes, another commences. We will explore vistas we have never yet seen before or even imagined. It’s there, just over the crest, which we cannot surmount with the burden of darkness that others cling to.

Our destiny softly calls, that voice within us that won’t go away. Being light and nimble is a prerequisite for this passage. To cross this threshold, this summit, we must lay down burdens that are not ours, even if we have carried them for lifetimes.

The time has come, we know this in our hearts. Many will choose to stay where they are, as they are. It is their prerogative, their Free Will. We must let them go their way while we go ours.

When we release ourselves from the grip of regret and sadness at this departure, our journey will quicken.

Do this consciously. Make it a part of your spiritual practice.

Lay down your burdens. They impede the Ascent you have long desired.

Do not judge yourself for this. Cry if you must. Just let it go.

We will all make our way in our own time, and only when we are ready. This is as it should be.

All will be One in the end.

For more detail, check the episode description for other episodes or articles that are related or that I mentioned.

And if you’re interested in a reading with me, I’ll put a link to that as well. I have a 15% off special on currently.

Take care, all the best, and I’ll talk to you again soon.
