I wanted to add some additional thoughts for your consideration on the ever important transit of Pluto through Aquarius from January 20th or 21st depending on where you are through early September 2024.  It’s the final “teaser” transit before Pluto lands in Aquarius for its long-stay from November 19th 2024 right up into the early 2040’s.  There are important decisions to be made on both the personal stage and the world stage during this transit.  As my reading on this transit revealed a lot of clarity is on offer.  However if we’re rigid in our beliefs or stance on issues we won’t be able to utilize that clarity to make wise decisions.  And the decisions attached to Pluto in Aquarius are far reaching to say the very least.

On the personal side, for most of you the main transit of Pluto through Aquarius will make up the rest of or bulk of the rest of your lives.  I myself will be an elderly man by the time it leaves and moves into Pisces for its long-stay beginning in 2043.  Be them small decisions or big ones, make no bones about it they ALL in their own way have far reaching effects for our personal lives.

But I digress.  Right now, here in this article I’m going to play Astrologer for a moment.  But first I need to explain how and why I even use astrology in the first place.  I know, I always say I’m not your fucking astrologer, but in this case let me take that roll.  And let me also say on the note of “learning” and “education” I could be your fucking astrologer if on wanted to be.  Why?  Because as an energy reader I figured out by about age 6 without knowing anything about astrology at the time that the way the planets and their alignments pull on the core energies around us has a huge impact on how those energies interact with our lives.  Later down the road I compensated for some flaws/gaps I found in the astrology by understanding more about the Earth’s magnetic field and the very powerful role that it and Earth’s energy in general plays in it all.  Which generally isn’t accounted for at all in astrology.  Especially the Earth’s magnetic field which is the 3rd most powerful influence on us.  Often governing our moods far more than any planetary alignment in fact.  I always account for this energy and other Earth energies in my reads by the way.  Even if I’m pulling on a specific astrological alignment.

So I studied the shit out of astrology for about 10 years.  In fact I was obsessed with it by age 15 or so.  I know it down to the math level.  i.e. the core equations of it all which are mostly Boolean logic, which is a fancy way of saying “binary”.  Though I should note that astrology’s core equation is flawed right from the start in that it assumes the Earth is the center of it all.  When in reality the Earth revolves around the Sun, not the other way around.  Meaning as we come into Aquarius season, it’s actually NOT the Sun that’s moving into Aquarius, it’s the Earth moving into Aquarius.  The Sun is right where it always is.  So your Sun sign is actually your Earth sign technically speaking.

Astrology is thousands of years old, so I cut it a lot of slack.  Some place its beginnings at 600 BC, others as far back the 3rd millennium BC.  But even here in good old 2024 its core math doesn’t account properly for the fact that the sun’s energy is a dynamic ever-changing energy.  For instance the sun spins at several points, and its energy fluctuates through a variety of frequencies, in some cases on an almost hourly basis.  The Sun spins on its axis as a whole every 27 days, however different portions of it spin at different speeds which makes it actually a hyper-dynamic energy.  So it is very much NOT a static energy as it’s reflected in astrology’s core equations.  But these flaws in astrology’s core math which a mathematician could (and have many times) rip apart in seconds are irrelevant to the planetary interactions and alignments that impact our surrounding core/environmental energies.

So for me astrology is all about energy interplay more than it is about the semantics of what’s the center of the solar system or what sign someone is.

So let’s talk some astrology to end this article.  On January 20, the Sun and Pluto make a conjunction on the cusp between Capricorn and Aquarius. The Earth and Pluto both move into Aquarius positioning just hours after the conjunction.  (Notice I didn’t say the Sun moves into Aquarius, it’ll be right where it always is as I talked about earlier.) This is always powerful and this conjunction happens every year, but this year it’s a real hum-dinger eye opener for sure.  It’s linked to self-assertion and transformation of our lives and the ideas that govern them.

But this year’s conjunction activates the “exact” same space (in the sky) where another great conjunction occurred.  That was the Great Conjunction of Jupiter and Saturn at 0° Aquarius in December of 2020, which activated what most call an “upheaval”.  Which shouldn’t be a surprise with everything that happened at that time.  In case you need a recap, we had a president refusing to admit he lost the election and attempting a coup to retain the presidency for the first time in the 247 years of the country’s history, which led in early January of 2021 to a riot on our capital where what looked like the cast of Duck Dynasty carried in a Neuse to hang the Vice President if he didn’t violate the constitution to go along with the coup, thus turning what was up to that point the model of freedom for the world effectively into a 3rd world dictatorship country.  I could rattle off a longer list of embarrassing atrocities that have ensued since then but I’ll refrain because it would turn this article into a 2 hour read.  LOL

Humor and deep deep shame aside…  My point is this year’s conjunction of Pluto and the Sun reactivates this same energy.  Which could cause some shakeups on the world stage and in our personal lives as well.  Because there were not just upheavals in the world but also in our personal lives on varying levels at the end of 2020 into 2021.  I know that because when I started my channel on YouTube around that time I got thousands of emails from people who were really confused and in need greatly of some help.  I’ve done my best to provide that help going forward.

Basically with this year’s conjunction being with the Sun and Pluto in Aquarius we have a chance to learn and potentially benefit from the past and what it taught us in some way that allows us to grow into the future.  That “way” will vary for each of us, but also applies on the world stage too.  There’s a reason I said on a recent reading that the energy feels like the beginning of SLT again, it feels when I sit down to do a reading that it’s early 2021 again.  This conjunction is part of why that is.

For all of us on varying levels it’s a do over.  In fact 2024 is a great big do over in many ways.  But that do over is only the energy providing an “opportunity”.  It’s always down to our free-will whether we take it or not.

My guess is some will and some won’t.  In our personal lives that’s fine.  That’s life really.  But on the world stage that’s dangerous.  Because a chain is only as strong as its weakest link.  And we’ve got a lot of low vibrational down right stupid in some cases links out there fucking up our chain BIG TIME… lol  Which is why I wrote in an article some time ago called “Spring-break planet Earth” that old souls are really passing this little planet by these days on a regular basis.

Sadly that leaves Earth with too many young souls, and not enough old ones to balance them out.  Too many young souls around is a bit like living next door to an Air B&B that’s been rented out by a bunch of teenagers.  You might be responsible and older but they’re not and they out number you.  Good luck getting to sleep, or for that matter keeping your yard and the neighborhood clean and safe.

Let’s talk here about the first quarter of the upcoming year of 2024.  We all know about and we talk about “free-will” all the time.  It comes up in the readings and well in life in general quite often.  But the first part of 2024 will require another more rare superpower that we all have.  I say it’s rare because most have a hard time using it, it flies in the face of selfishness and the strong urge to fill an immediate need of some sort.  This superpower also has the word “will” in it as coincidence would have it, and it’s “will-power”.

“Will-power” is an energy aspect of temperance.  Now I don’t mean to say that the first part of 2024 is going to be frustrating, but I kind of have to point out because it’s sorta my job here that the energy of the first few months of 2024 in general will require on many levels a little “will-power”, a little temperance on all of our parts.  This is because there’s a bit of suspense built into the energy itself, maybe anticipation is a better word.  We’ve all been energetically realigned as of late, and we’re just coming out of that realignment now, as this week’s weekly reading clearly showed us and even reminded me of in its pre-shuffle section.

Suspense/anticipation energy is tricky even in the best of times.  It’s powerful enough to sell millions of movie tickets, yet weak enough that it’s easy for us to overcome through immediate gratification of some kind.  We live in a societal energy that’s rather sadly at the moment pretty much made up of a mix of narcissism and instant gratification all rolled up in a ball of anxiety.  Hell I can’t even get more than 70% of my viewers to watch an entire reading without fast forwarding and jumping around, and they wonder why they missed stuff.  Beyond that I can’t even get more than 40% if my viewers to even come to this blog.  And in both instances, the videos and here in this blog, I’m offering up free information, or at the very least a free of charge point of view to at least consider.

When we jump around we miss things.  Speed reading a good example of this.  Some people say they can retain 90% of the information if they speed read something.  But studies beg to differ.  They say we take in 40% at best and from there do what most people do with any skill they have, we embellish it into something bigger than what it is. My point is guessing what you missed and filling the pieces with those guesses or inferences is never as good as just not missing any of the information in the first place.  Cliff notes or speed reading is NOT reading a book, take it from me, a person who can speed read.  Nor is skipping around my videos getting you a good reading.  Partial information, fragmented information is dangerous.

The first quarter or so of 2024 has a lot to offer, though on the surface it may seem like not a lot is happening, yet at the same time the energy around us will feel electric, almost magic in a way.  In fact under the surface the mighty river of energy is clearing a path of sorts, it’s VERY ACTIVE.  And in the process it’s making its way to the surface where we exist.  When it reaches the surface it will satisfy our instant gratification needs for sure, as it should happen quite quickly, dare I say with the energy of a Tower.

However in the process of us getting what we want and flowing in some new currents many of you may find the first quarter of 2024 quite frustrating, and you might be inclined to skip around, to take some shortcuts.  Whether those shortcuts are spiritual, or on a 3D level such as “saying yes to the dress” so to speak too quickly because you’re bored and you want IT whatever IT is, NOW!!  Those shortcuts while okay in the moment will come back to bite you HARD in the ass when the newly cleared and refreshed energy reaches the surface around the 2nd quarter of the year and you get swept away by it.  It’s a bit like me saying.  Basically what I’m saying is the energetic river waters show up quickly when they finally reach the surface, and you’ll want to make sure you have a fully constructed raft and not just part of one when they do.

So (just a tip, but) “will-power” will be required in the first quarter or so of 2024.  Put simply this will involve holding out for the best, even though you are presented with some kinda okay options while you’re waiting.  That applies in the 3D, emotionally, or spiritually for some of you.  If you want to thrive you must put down the instant gratification urge.  If it’s a spiritual journey you’re on or simply information you’re receiving in the first quarter or so of 2024, you’ll want to be sure you dig deeper than the surface.  When you think you’ve figured something out, or understand something, put a pin in it, because more information will be coming.  It’s important that you show restraint in early 2024’s energy.  Don’t jump to conclusions if you get bad news about something for example, because more information will be coming.  Try in general not to make assumptions, and worse yet act on those assumptions.  In the same way people who skip around my readings miss the big picture and never really get the full message of the energy read, you by making assumptions in the first quarter of 2024 will miss the big picture, which in time will reveal itself if you just have a little “will-power” i.e. self-control, i.e. discipline, i.e. temperance.

Most adults these days have the same energy as children did when I was kid.  On one hand this is nice, it shows a youthful exuberance, but what’s alarming is there is no grown-up in there at all, so there’s no balance and balance of energies is always required.  Most adults these days in the current energies are all a bunch of kids in the back seat of the car asking over and over again, “are we there yet?”  It’s like they’ve learned nothing from that old Adam Sandler movie “Click”.  Which actually had a lot to teach us in-spite of the silliness of it.  Plus it has Christopher Walken in it, so that alone makes it worth paying attention to.  But I digress…

That said, let’s talk about marshmallows.  Why is this article titled, “The marshmallow test??”  What’s that about??  Well…. in psychology there’s an old test of will-power.  It was first done many decades ago on children. It is affectionately known in the psychology community as “The Marshmallow test”.

Basically you have a child 5 or 6 years old maybe 7 etc. alone in a room with 1 single marshmallow.  It’s a timed test of will-power.  Let’s say it’s an hour for example.  It works basically like this.  You tell the child they can eat the marshmallow during the hour test period if they want to.  BUT,,,,, if they don’t eat the marshmallow and can hold out for the entire hour they’ll get a second marshmallow at the end of the test, and then they can eat them both of them.  BUT,,,,, eat the marshmallow in front them during the hour long test, they won’t get the second marshmallow at the end of the test.  So they’ll have nothing to eat after the test is over.

Spoiler alert……. most of the kids fail this test and eat the fucking marshmallow.  For a few it’s gone 2 minutes into the test.  And this is why I’m writing this blog article.  Most of the kids dove for the instant gratification of eating the marshmallow.  That’s short-sighted.

And that’s most grown-ups these days in our society.  There’s an impatient energy around in the air so to speak.  It drives me nuts, I hate it.  Because I’m not like that, so I usually block it out when I have to leave the house.  30 years ago you had to go to a pre-school to feel this level of impatience.  Now it’s just there as part of the societal energies.

Will-power is about sacrificing in the short-term, to gain in the long-term.  And that formula will help you with the energy of the first quarter of 2024.  You may not enjoy the journey as much, it might seem boring.  But the destination is well worth the discomfort. If you keep that in mind, you’ll be all set.

On the plus-side you’ll get a lot of new energies and opportunities coming your way in the first part of 2024.  Dig deep, and try to avoid that ever present instant gratification energy.  Hold out for the best.  Pretend you’re part of a marshmallow test, and take the long-view rather than the short view.  2 marshmallows are better than 1, and you WILL get 2 if you can control yourself.

As an aside, the marshmallow test can be used and is often used for anyone trying to quit a bad habit or make a lifestyle change of any kind.  Everything from biting your nails to drinking and smoking.  It works for some, but not for others, it depends on your personality type.  It’s a test often used to help procrastinators change their lives, and it’s also often used to help people lose weight.  At its core it’s a test of “will-power”

So if it suits you to do so for some reason, try running a “marshmallow test” on yourself.   Put simply it’s a test/task that operates under the premise of, “if I can refrain from doing this (whatever this is for you) now, I will be rewarded later.”  And that reward can be multiples of what you’re not getting in the now, or some other treat.

In closing I’ll say this.  Basically the first part of 2024 is a great big giant marshmallow test.  We’ve actually got many chances to succeed throughout the coming year, but the beginning of the year will set the stage in a big way.

While these chances for success in 2024 are  not our last chances “yet”, I think it’s wise to approach “every chance” to succeed as though it’s the last chance.  And that means being a little methodical in our approach.  If you need a card for reference, I’ll say that if you can’t muster Temperance, at least be the Knight of Pentacles
