“There Portal Is Open, And Intention Is Everything”

Holy Moly, let the games begin. The times are pulling us towards some major karmic reckonings in 2022. Like the aperture of a camera, the lens is spiraling open and will expose many things that were suppressed and hidden in your own psyches and by the collective. The key during this time is to stay focused on the center point of the portal and hold your intentions as pure. The end of 2021 will likely be very strange, unpredictable, and full of surprises. The main players are Pluto, Uranus and The United States of America- though, the reverberations will ripple through the whole globe.

It all kicks off on Oct 20 with a Full Moon in Aries squaring Pluto. Squares are charged energies that need some karmic resolution/evolution. Pluto is the energy of Transformation, Destruction, Re-Creation, Death, and the Soul itself. When Pluto makes a transit, particularly a square, it can do some shadow-work, pulling-up things that were once hidden. These are not usually light affairs, but rather matters of karmic weight. The Sun & Moon represent our personal selves- both our inner & outer worlds. Pluto also rules power and the occult entities that run them: governments, institutions, banking systems, billionaires, hegemonic political groups, and corporate interests.

A full moon square Pluto would normally be a strong energy, but with a limited influence. However, on Oct 21 Eris and Mars T-Square Pluto. Eris is the Goddess of War, Discord, Strife, and Manslaughter. She is the fiercest of the Feminine archetypes- similar to Kali (Vedic) and Sekmet (Egyptian). All three of these goddess operate from Unconditional Love, but their task is to transform Karma, destroying and bring to cremation what must die. Mars is our Will Power and the Warrior. He also represents our anger, frustration, and desire to defend and fight back. The Eris/Pluto Square is the 5th of 5 squares, and is what has flavored 2020, 2021 and will continue into 2022. Add to this Scorpio season as the Sun enters the sign on Oct 22– intensity as the portal opens.

We are also now entering into a karmic gate for the United States called a Pluto Return. The planet Pluto takes 246-248 years to complete a cycle. Pluto was at 27° Capricorn on July 4, 1776 when the Declaration of Independence was birthed- for a country this is a Soul Contract. Pluto rules the Soul of all things, and when Pluto returns back to 27° Capricorn in February 2022 it is a major karmic check-in to see if this country is fulfilling it’s contract. If not, Karmic correction may ensue. Are we treating all people as equal, free and imbued with the unalienable right to life, liberty and happiness? Or are we creating division, separation, hegemony, and apartheid like systems? Whatever that case may be, we are in the magnetic pull from now through all of 2022, 2023 and 2024. We’ll speak more on this in coming months.

Scorpio is the most intense of all the signs. It is ruled by Pluto and is akin to Shiva energy- the creator and destroyer of all things. When the Sun enters Scorpio, it is death season- literally and figuratively. This is when the portal opens, with the height from Oct 31- Nov 2: Halloween, Day of The Dead, and All Souls/All Saints Day. This is when the veil between the worlds thins and we may become more aware of our ancestors, spirits, angels, guides, and sometime other darker energies that the Lakota call EA. This time of year is when we are called to honor the dead and commune with our ancestors- setting out food, lighting alter candles, offering prayers, and speaking with the Grandparents and Loved Ones in the spirit world.

Nov 4 is the Scorpio New Moon– more Scorpio Energy. The Portal is Open & Intention is Everything. New Moons are times for setting intentions and going inward to do shadow-work, and this is amplified with the Scorpio & Pluto energies. This new moon is opposite Uranus- the planet is Sudden Awakenings, Radical Shifts, and Quantum-Leaps in Evolution. It introduces things to the personal and collective consciousness that were unpredictable to the ego-self. Uranus also rules all things Strange, Other Worldly, Galactic, and the Higher Mind. From Nov 4-13 it may be a time of lightning revelations, and strange events spiraling out of the portal as the Moon, Sun, Mercury and Mars will all oppose Uranus. Expect the Unexpected.

Keep a watch out for Nov 10 with Mars and Mercury in Scorpio square Saturn in Aquarius. Mercury is the psychopomp and can go deep into the mysteries of life- if we are willing. The Warrior Mars is empowered in Scorpio and is not afraid to confront authority, power and mistruth. Saturn is karma and our inner teacher. Things may come out this day that- either in the moment or in hindsight- will be quite revelatory.

Finally, this brings us to Eclipse Season with a Partial Lunar Eclipse on Nov 19, the Taurus Full Moon. This will be followed by a Total Solar Eclipse on Dec 3.
