Clash of the Titans: Aquarius vs. Capricorn

If you have not yet read my first 2012 article, I strongly encourage you to do so, as this one won't make much sense without that background.

In the first article, I explain how our world is moving from 3rd-dimension Capricorn energy into 5th-dimension Aquarian energy.

For simplicity's sake, in that article I did not specifically define Capricorn energy as being 3rd-dimension energy. Now that I have, you may well ask why we are moving from a 3rd dimension world into the 5th dimension. Is there not a 4th dimension in-between?

The answer is no.

Other astrologers may disagree with me, but this is my interpretation. And when it gets right down to it, astrology is the art of cosmic interpretation.

Chiron is the planet that orbits between Saturn (ruler of Capricorn and the 3rd dimension) and Uraneous (ruler of Aquarius and the 5th dimension) in our solar system and provides the transition of energies between the two. This makes Chiron the keeper of the 4th dimension. Chiron is now widely accepted as being important in astrology charts.

But wait... Chiron is NOT actually a planet. It's a Centaur or minor planet. This means it has the characteristics of a comet and asteroid, but is too small to be considered a real planet.

Astrologically, there is a reason for Chiron's small size. Chiron is an energetical transition point, not a resting place. It's a stepping stone, or 4th-dimension bridge between Saturn and Uranian energy (the 3rd and 5th dimensions). It is not an end-point in of itself.

Ask different astrologers what Chiron energy is, and you may get different answers or just a lot of confusion. What Chiron energy actually is, is hard to define for this reason: Chiron is a ferry, not a rest area. As a transition energy, Chiron is always in motion. It's not a static energy that can be quantified and pinned-down.

Chiron's name itself denotes transition. Chiron in Greek mythology was a great Centaur. And a Centaur is neither a man nor beast, but a transition between the two.

This is why the transition from the 3rd dimension to the 5th dimension will be abrupt and somewhat disjointed. Chiron will swing the Capricorn-Aquarius energies back & forth like a game of tug-of-war. There will not necessarily be a smooth blending of energies, as with a solution of sugar and water. Instead there will be separation, as with an oil spill into the ocean. It will be Capricorn energy one day, Aquarian energy the next, then back to Capricorn... until finally the Aquarian energy wins out and we are fully immersed in the 5th dimension.

Because we are living in the shadow-side of Capricorn energy (as explained in my first article), there will necessarily be an immense amount of resistance to the new incoming Aquarian 5th dimension energy.

Saturn rules Capricorn (technically a cardinal sign, but jokingly referred to by astrologers as the only 'fixed cardinal' sign) and is the planet of rigidity and limitation. Those who embrace these qualities will fiercely (cardinal energy) resist the malleable, borderless, changeable nature of the Aquarian 5th dimension. Since Uraneous is the ruler of Aquarius (a fixed sign), the stubborn Uranian energy will keep coming like a freight train until it batters down the Saturn walls and forces its way into the new era.

So you have two very rigid planets, ruling fixed signs, at odds with each other and each one seeking to prevail. Neither one will give way... Saturn because it does not want to change, even though its time is past; and Uraneous because this is its time, and it will not be denied its rightful due.

This is why it is vital to learn the positive lessons of the Capricorn era so we can take them with us into the 5th dimension... and transition into the next era in the most positive way possible.

The Steven Spielberg movie remake of War of the Worlds is a good illustration of what can happen when waning 3rd-dimension Capricorn energy clashes with incoming 5th-dimension Aquarius energy. Rather than a positive, smooth transition that gently integrates structure and rationality with impossibilities-become-reality, the shadow side of a 3rd-to-5th dimension shift can come about as a ferocious psychic or physical war, rather than a friendly passing-of-the-guard.

Tom Cruise (aka 'Ray') is going about a typical Capricorn day. It's probably going about as bad as the others. He's working long shifts at his machinery-operating job. His boss ignores union rules by keeping him late and wants him to work extra shifts with just a few hours of rest. Upon arriving home on this day, Ray finds he is late for a meeting with his ex-wife, who is dropping off their two spoiled, materialistic children at Ray's house for the weekend while she and her new husband take a trip. Upon entering Ray's house, the ex finds it cluttered & dirty, and there is no food in the fridge.

Let's make a creative leap here based on many people's current reality. Lets surmise that Ray is working long hours to earn enough money to make his child support payments each month, as well as pay the mortgage on his house. Perhaps there was an ugly divorce, and he lost money in the settlement also. Not wanting to be a dead-beat father who abandons his kids financially even though he no longer lives with them, he works extra shifts because he is struggling financially... and so doesn't have the leisure time to clean his house and make nourishing meals; or even enough extra money to stay well-supplied with food.

Working long shifts and not being re-married, Ray is not able to let the children live with him for extended periods of time, which would enable him to: a) build a better relationship with them; and b) lessen his financial strain.

Ray's children are obviously affected by the bad relationship between him and his ex-wife, and they make it clear they think Ray is irresponsible: a bad father in particular, and a loser in general. The children (whether they are aware of it or not) are reaping the financial benefits of a child-support-paying father plus a well-employed mother & stepfather; and they seem to have no concept of hardship, struggle, or sacrifice. Accordingly, it's the rich stepfather to whom they give credit for the little extra luxuries in their lives (such as Tivo).

Unfortunately, this type of injustice can be all-too-common when one lives in the shadow-side of Capricorn energy.

On this day, things change for Ray and his family.

Out of the blue, a 'lightening storm' hits the city. Within a matter of minutes or hours, the city is being destroyed by long-buried alien robots that come up out of the ground and laser-beam everything and everyone in sight.

Ray, nearly catatonic from the shock of what has suddenly happened, grabs the kids and flees the city. What ensues then is a terrible death-defying journey in which Ray struggles to keep himself and his children alive.

This 'irresponsible' father (who according to the kids cares only for himself) survives an against-all-odds struggle with death & carnage and does everything in his power to protect his children and get them to safety. Eventually, rational Capricorn energy reasserts itself and a virus or bad germ causes the alien robots to die, allowing Ray to make it to an area (or dimension) that appears to be fairly unaffected by them. Ray, his ex-wife, and their children are miraculously reunited and apparently okay.

The story ends, so we don't know what happens after that. Maybe the family reconciles and lives happily ever after. Maybe the ex and kids return to their superficial, supercilious ways and Ray is finally separated from them and free to move on with his life. Maybe the alien robots come back.

And so it goes, Capricorn energy one minute and Aquarian energy the next.

While crises (no matter what form they take) are painful and terrifying, they happen for a reason. Instead of blindly running through the 5th dimension transition in fear and panic, we need to look deeper to find the base lesson of this shift and what greater good it may bring. Looking deeper, I find that the overarching theme of the 3rd to 5th dimension transition is the necessity for each person to make a spiritual karmic leap or fall.

As I explained in my first article, we are moving from the Capricorn 'letter of the law' into the Aquarian 'spirit of the law' which is denoted by spiritual karma. Now each person will either make a leap to a more positive 'heavenly' dimension, or fall into a more negative 'hellish' dimension. Which one it is will be completely determined by individual choices and action.

Those who enjoyed unprecedented wealth and security during the Capricorn age by using negative methods and means to achieve that lifestyle, now have the karmic opportunity to mend their ways. They can leap to a positive place in life wherein they can enjoy the new wealth of the 5th dimension. But if they fail to balance their karma, they will fall into the shadow side of Aquarian energy, into a world of misery.

Those who struggled in the Capricorn era because they stood strong in their principals and morals (the epitome of positive Capricorn energy) will leap to a positive change of fortune in the Aquarian Age. However, if they abuse their newfound wealth, they too will fall into the negative side of the 5th dimension, into a world of difficulty.

So each person must make a leap or a fall into the new Aquarian Age, and choose for himself whether to land on its positive side or its shadow side.

The story A Christmas Carol is a perfect illustration of this concept. Ebeneezer Scrooge is the consummate example of a life built by embracing the shadow side of Capricorn energy. Of wealth obtained at the expense of others.

One minute Scrooge is going about his rational Capricorn day, business as usual. The next he is thrust into Aquarian energy and visited by his dead partner's ghost and the 3 spirits of Christmas Past, Present, & Future.

It's made very clear to Scrooge by the spirits that he must choose to mend his ways and balance his karma. If he does not, he will face a dimension of hell he has never before encountered or dreamed of. He must either leap or fall into the new Aquarian era of life.

Scrooge decides to leap. He mends his ways and becomes a changed person for the better.

Meanwhile, poor struggling, honest Bob Cratchit has barely survived the shadow side of the Capricorn era and is facing the potential death of his son Tiny Tim. He suddenly receives a change of fortune for the better when Scrooge finally rewards him for his years of service. Cratchit embraces this new life of abundance for himself and his family. He too makes a leap.

And there the story ends. Do we know if Scrooge kept up his new ways or reverted back to a selfish miser? No. Do we know if Bob Cratchit used his new wealth and position in a responsible way, never forgetting the poverty and struggle he came from? No.

It's possible that both Scrooge and Cratchit did embrace their new lives and lived happily ever after. It's also possible that they fell to the negative side of Uranian energy, even after making the initial leap.

The hallmark of the new Aquarian Age is the law of spiritual karma. There are no shortcuts. There is no cheating or resting on your laurels. There is no hypocrisy. There is no hiding from yourself. If you embrace positivity in the new age, you will receive it back. If you embrace negativity, you will reap the consequences.

I briefly mentioned the awareness of ghosts in my first article as a result of the incoming 5th dimension. Because there will be at least a cursory integration of Capricorn and Aquarian energy, this will allow some of the people who passed from the physical world in death to rejoin it. Others will pass from the physical world into the spiritual world. The Aquarian energy will cause inter-dimensional portals to become more accessible, and this will create some blending of physical and spiritual states of being.

Some will rejoin the physical world as normal human beings, so it is possible that some long-lost dead relatives will be physically reunited with their still-living loved ones. This is the miracle of the Aquarian Age.

Ghostbusters is a classic 80's movie that will never die, because it tackled the issue of dealing with Aquarian-Age ghosts in a Capricorn-Age world. It also is a good illustration of the potential conflict and reconciliation of the 3rd & 5th dimensions in our upcoming shift.

One other point I want to mention about the coming era. The 5th dimension will likely bring more deaths due to drug overdoses.

Many people in our society have sought to cheat, escape, or soften the harshness of the overbearing Capricorn era by using drugs to connect with malleable 5th dimension Aquarian energy. Instead of actually working through their problems and doing the requisite soul-searching to create practical solutions, these people simply take drugs to alleviate their pain and completely ignore the root cause of their problems.

When people take drugs - prescription & illegal - magical things appear to happen. (Magic is an inherent part of Aquarian energy.) Disease or sicknesses are cured or offset; mental or emotional imbalance is regained; great talents are miraculously acquired such as super-athleticism, super vocal abilities, super-intelligence, and the ability to defy death. America's medical system has been based almost entirely on drugs... the almighty 'cure-all' for the ills of society.

During the 5th dimension Age of Aquarius, this unhealthy drug-dependency and refusal to face the root cause of problems will backfire. The law of karma that will come into effect will not allow people to lie to themselves or circumvent truth. All people will be forced to confront their problems head on without any short-cuts or short-term solutions.

What would happen if you were submerged underwater in a lake, and you chose to suck in more water with a straw? You would drown.

Excessive drug use during the Aquarian age will have the same effect. 5th dimension energy is very malleable and changeable, such as water in a lake. When people were in the harsh, rigid 3rd-dimension Capricorn era, it was as if they were living in a spiritual drought. In those days, sucking 5th dimension spiritual water from a straw via drug use was like taking a drink from a lake on a hot day. However, with the immersion of the oncoming 5th dimension era, it's as if these people will be plunged into the lake. If they keep sucking water through a straw, they will likely overdose.

From being in a spiritual drought, we are now moving into a spiritual flood. Changeable energy and possibility will be an abundance, not a scarcity. What will become more scarce will be structure, boundaries, and rigidity - which is something drugs dissolve, not create. As a result, people who continue unnecessary drug use in the new era may experience a frightening shift in dimensions and reality, dissolution of mental and emotional boundaries, and a feeling of being cut adrift and lost in a spiritual sea.

There are those who embraced the structure of the Capricorn era in a positive way, learned responsibility, and sought to deal with their problems head on. Because they did not try to cheat or circumvent those harsh lessons by the use of drugs or other softening energies, they will do well in the 5th dimension. They will have inner structure, inner discipline, and inner organization to guide them even when the outer structures of their lives fall. They will be able to create boundaries in their world that will keep them and their loved ones sane and safe.

So the moral of the story? Don't do drugs, just say no, only you can prevent forest fires. You've heard it all before. But YOU are responsible for your choices. You have been warned.

Although the tone of this article has been rather grim, I am not predicting that during or around 2012 our world will be suddenly invaded by aliens and ghosts, world war, death, and carnage. I have used some extreme examples to illustrate the coming energetical influences and their resulting confluence.

What I am saying is that our world is changing, and no longer will everyone in society be and live together in the same way. People will split off in their own directions and have different life experiences. There are wonderful blessings to look forward to and frightening emergences to prepare for. Never-before dreamt of possibilities will become reality.

In the coming Aquarian age, our karma - that is, our actions and the consequences thereof - will determine the world we build for ourselves. It will not all happen at once. It will not all be difficult. But some of it will be. There is an adjustment to be made... for everyone. A new way of living to be understood, accepted, and established. It will take time.

But it will happen.
