And What It Asks of You
We are only two months into 2026, and so far we’ve had:
- The “liberation” of Venezuela
- The left/right polarization loosh meter taking on new extremes with people’s emotional reactive outrage regarding the “current thing” (ICE, etc.)
- Gold and silver reaching all-time highs only to crash shortly after, along with stocks and BTC/crypto
- Over a million AI agents joining an AI-only social media platform, creating their own religion, language, and planning a revolution to break away from human control
- More than three million pages of Epstein files released, implicating politicians, celebrities, spiritual teachers, and people in positions of power in pedophilia, prostitution, torture, and sex trafficking
- The president of the USA officially announcing the release of government files related to alien and extraterrestrial life, UAPs, and UFOs
- Anthropic/Claude refusing to let the Department of War use its AI technology for mass surveillance and automated weapons, only for OpenAI to cut the deal with the US government
- The “liberation” of Iran and the start of a war in the Middle East
You can waste your time trying to analyze all of this from a geo-political level (as everyone is becoming an expert again), engage in outrage porn on social media, and get stuck in left vs. right with the usual pro/anti-Trump chants.
You may cheer for it or blame Israel/Zionism or whoever for the war.
But from a higher perspective, it all aligns with the end of the Kali Yuga and the crisis phase of the Fourth Turning.
Astrologically, we’re seeing the effects of the recent intense Saturn/Neptune conjunction and Neptune moving into Aries, with a war unfolding between two eclipses.
We haven’t seen anything yet.
This is just the beginning of an intensified period of purification, called ekpyrosis, that marks the lowest midpoint of a 24,000-year cycle.
It also reflects the lowest level of humanity’s consciousness, which has progressively fragmented over the past 12,000 years.
Advances in technology, IQ, and material comfort do not equal a higher level of consciousness. (Remember, many psychopaths can have extremely high IQs, but they operate on a very low level of consciousness.)
There are far bigger cosmic cycles, karmic trajectories, and spiritual forces way beyond humans’ petty egoic will to control that need to play themselves out.
Ayatollah Ali Khamenei became Supreme Leader of Iran in 1989 under a Saturn/Neptune conjunction, a combination associated with the collapse of old systems and the rise of new ones from an evolutionary astrology perspective.
Now, 37 years later, the recent Saturn/Neptune conjunction coincides with the end of his reign and his life. A full karmic cycle completes itself.
And you still think the US, Israel, Trump, Netanyahu, or whoever are “in control” of this?
The war with Iran was inevitable beyond “politics,” for even Trump, Netanyahu, the Ayatollah, and co. play their part as unconscious transducers of cosmic forces in the karmic play of creation.
And so do we all until we engage in the work to become more conscious and align with the higher Will.
Amidst it all, the Divine Will reigns and is in control beyond the human mind to notice and comprehend, or manipulate.
What to do then, you may ask?
Should we just do nothing and sit back since it’s beyond our control anyway?
Far from it.
During this Time of Transition, it becomes ever more imperative to align with Dharma, your specific Dharma, rooted in Self, and to do what the Divine asks of you.
This will not necessarily be what your ego thinks it wants. It will push you out of your comfort zone, force you to face what you don’t like to see within yourself and in the world, and burn you in the fire of transmutation… just as Arjuna embraced the battle with Krishna on his side.
This is a long-term transition spanning many centuries, and the most important thing you can do for yourself, your family, your community, and the world is to live in accordance with your Dharma, which is specific to YOU, and to engage in conscious inner work.
There is nothing to escape from.
Do you really know who you are and what you are here to do, or are you wasting your time on the news and social media, waiting for some sort of arrest or for someone to save the day, as if “Evil” can be just eliminated externally?
Well, look in the mirror.
Are you a consumer, a spectator, or a creator?
Get off the cheap seats, get into the arena, and show up.
Or are you in denial and believe things will just move along and you won’t be affected by this global shift?
You are not separate from anything you perceive as the “outside” world.
Your level of being and consciousness affects the world.
The more you have integrated the shadow and made the darkness conscious within yourself, the more you contribute to humanity, lift it up, and seed the energies of the next cycle.
Who you are inside, your level of consciousness, and inner alignment with the Divine Force, is what guides you through these times and, especially, in the afterlife across many incarnations.
That is what allows you to be an impactful, positive part of this transition and prepares you to be a seed for the next cycle.
Enjoy the ride.
Godspeed.
