2018:
The End of Everything
That Didn't Work Right in the First Place
(View this report at the video below.)
Three astrological forces combine in the cosmic weather of this year, producing
a powerful initiation out of the old into the new, and, like all astrological shifts, will only go as far as we go into aligning with it: Saturn in Capricorn; the
handoff from the Year of the Rooster to the Year of the Dog; and the number 11, which 2018 breaks down to numerologically.
Saturn entered Capricorn near the end of last year, conjoining with the Sun on the powerful moment of Winter Solstice, and will continue passing through this sign for the next three years. Saturn in Capricorn asks two things of us: to get clear about how we deal with power and get clear about how we deal with time, two grave subjects the ancient astrologers linked in the twin hands of the Old God Kronos, Saturn - Father Time. That Old God came to power by cutting
down his father - the Original Sky God Ouranos, and taking over his kingdom, setting himself up as the new King of Everything.
But he was warned by the Fates that, just as he cut down his own father, so too would he be cut down by his own child. To prevent that from coming true he swallowed each of his newborn children, except Zeus, who got away when his mother wrapped a rock in swaddling clothes and fed that to her husband instead.

When Zeus matured, true to the prediction, he cut down his father and set himself up as the new King of All Things.
For a long time now we've been living out this myth, as Saturn has been swallowing his children, in the form of western civilization (the current Old God) swallowing the innocence of its citizens. The lives of wonder, joy, innocence, truth, virginity, the youthful soul of humanity, get eaten by the bloated god of society people now worship in place of the ancient priests and kings we formerly had to bend our knee to. This corruption of the true power of the soul needs to be overthrown by us, but without reproducing the same karma both Saturn and Zeus created when they cut down their fathers. Which boils down to finding a way to allow the innocent magical creative soul within you become the new god/goddess that takes over, rather than dominating yourself and everything around you with the power of ego.

Along with finding a new way to deal with power we're being asked to find new ways to deal with time, and these two issues are inextricably linked, because how you use time defines how you use power. In recent centuries Time has grown into a tyrant that forces organic nature into a mechanized way of life that serves the Old Order at the expense of the magical wonder of existence. Time gets chopped up into seconds, minutes, hours, days, weeks, months, years, centuries - millennia, as if existence actually conformed to exactly precise mechanical hash marks on a clock and calendar that march everybody along from cradle to grave. This method of dealing with time may be excellent for programming computers but is anathema for growing everything that's most unique in each human soul. To cling to this version of time is to drain the wonder out of existence. Why be old at 93? Why enter school at age five? Why dive headfirst into the gaping maw of Father Time, surrendering your greater creative existence to an obsolete societal marching order?

2018: The End of Everything That
Never Worked Right in the First Place
|
At the turn of the 20
th
Century, marching band's four-square thump-thump miltary beat ran music parade-like through its thudding rhythms. That way of breaking up time shapes young souls into obedient soldiers. When jazz came along, musicians found ways to make time more elastic. New rhythms and syncopations were born in place of the military drill. And now we're being encouraged
by Saturn's passage through Capricorn to find a new kind of life-jazz that frees up the rhythms we march to, that enables us to dance to the music of the soul.
Because time and power are closely linked, a breakthrough with either leads to a breakthrough with the other. And because 2018 is the first of three years of Saturn moving through Capricorn, the more innovative you get with revamping power and time this year, the better you'll be able continue that project through the coming years.
The second feature in the cosmic weather for the year is the handoff from the Year of the Rooster to the Year of the Dog, which occurs February 16
th
. A Rooster Year is about gaining vision. The rooster climbs to the highest point of the barn roof and sees the coming sunrise before the rest of the farmstead and lets them know it by sounding a piercing wake-up call. We have a few weeks left to climb to a similar vision point in our own lives and gain the wake-up call of what's coming.

If you use the tail end of the Rooster to gain a vision of where your life needs to go next, the Dog will implement that vision, follow it all the way through to wherever it leads, because the dog is the most loyal, steadfast, and determined of all years. And the dog in you and others needs a strong vision to serve, just as a dog serves a strong master. So if you break away from the false master of the Obsolete Society, and gain a new vision, the Dog Year will go far to implement that vision and see it all the way through with dogged perseverance.
The third factor in the cosmic weather of the year is the number 11. Numerological value of years are formed by adding the digits: 2 + 0 = 2. 2 + 1 = 3. 3 + 8 = 11. During normal times of life as usual, the 11 is mostly a grace note, a mute sound, a dormant force, biding its time, withholding its power, waiting for supportive elements to ripen before it can do its magic. And the magic of an 11 is to implement the most progressive change of any year. Supportive elements include friends, groups, like-minded souls in your external environment, and inner clarity and willpower to follow through your truth on the inside. Which means it behooves you to orchestrate inner and outer elements to support the enormous change power of the year.
If you recreate your relationship to power and time, and gain a vision of the future you're going to create, sympathetic elements can combine to make 2018 the end of everything that never worked right in the first place, and you will find yourself overthrowing the old without duplicating the old karma.
