Hannes Võrno: LIIKLUSPOEESIA
Surmakülvikute laigulised konvoid, tapamasinate torud nokudena norgus ja camoplögaste põskedega poisikesed roolis. Lageraiujate vaiku nutvate koormatega kärud. Hullunud naftatsisternid ja puldaniga kaetud miski, mida peab vedama teisi teelt minema kihutades. Venivad vanapapid ja „laps pardal“ kleepsuga elektrilised kodumasinad, nagu appihüüe mähkmevahetuseks. Mendid, vilkuritega unnates ja kolmekümne tsoonis töllerdajatest mööda kihutades kraavipervede põõsastesse passima tormates. No ja siis need ülejäänud kuradi türapead, munnid ja mölakad, kes ei sõida iialgi nii, nagu peaks.
Hannes Võrno: AJA LUGU
Eepos, mida sa elad, aga ei loe
Kell on täpselt see, mida keegi teine sulle ütleb.
Sa ei tea, mis aeg on. Sa ei tea. Sa usud. Su ekraan ütles sulle. Nutikell. Telefon. Serverist sünkroniseeritud, korporatiivselt kinnitatud, rahvusvaheliselt ühtlustatud “õige aeg”.
Aga see aeg ei tulnud päikese liikumisest. Ei tulnud loodusest. Ei tõusnud hommikuudus ega kukkunud õhtusse koos ritsikate lauluga. See tuli Greenwichist. Mitte isegi kohast, vaid ideest.
Greenwitch. Roheline nõid.
Aja nõidus. Lõks. Lugu, mille meie kõik oleme alla kirjutanud – mitte digitaalselt, vaid hingeliselt.
“Pane kell õigeks.”
“Võta äpp, mis hoiab su päeva kontrolli all.”
“Ära hiline – mis kell sa jõuad?”
Kella keeramine? See on ainult kaartide segamine enne uut trikki.
Talveaeg. Suveaeg. Kaotame tunni. Saame tunni tagasi.
Aga kellele see aeg kuulus?
Kes selle võttis?
Kes andis?
Inimkond on hüpnoosi all – ja ei keegi muu kui inimkond ise hoiab seda silma pöörlemas. Me olemegi see süsteem, mille üle me halame. Meie valime ajavalitsejad, meie kummardame ajaarvamist nagu iidset kivist jumalakuju. Ja valitsejad? Nad ei kanna randmel nutikella.
Nad ei ela aja sees. Nad kasutavad aega.
Vaata, kuidas “hilineb” riigipea tippkohtumisele.
Ajaleht ütleb: “tuli 17 minutit hiljem”.
Ei tulnud. Tuli täpselt õigel ajal. Omal ajal.
Ta ei keeranud oma seiereid sinu järgi, vaid sina keerasid oma ootusärevuse tema ümber.
Kellaaja tõde? Pommidega seinakell maal.
Vanaema kell, mis tiksub, mitte ei sünkroniseeru. Kell, mida tuleb kuulata, mitte vaadata.
Me keerame sellegi seierid nutikella järgi “õigeks”. Sest oleme kaotanud usu, et meil võiks olla oma aeg.
Nutikell on opiod. Aja-opiod.
Vaikselt uinutav, ilusasti vilkuv, kehaandmeid sülitav, päevakava jagav.
Sellel pole ühtegi märki sellest, et aeg on tegelikult elus. Sellel pole häält. Pole ruumi loovuseks, hilinemiseks, ootusärevuseks, kulgemiseks.
Aeg ei ole enam tunne – see on režiim.
Ja meie?
Meie oleme valvurid, mitte vangid. Meie kontrollime üksteist. Meie oleme see karistuslaager, mis elab tik-taki all.
Aeg kui manipuleerimise relv. Aga relv hoiab end ise käes.
Me ei pea otsima varjatud valitsejat. Meie usk ajasüsteemi on see valitseja.
Mida rohkem me tahame täpsust, täpsust, täpsust – seda vähem on meil kohalolu, kohalolu, kohalolu.
Lõpuks jääb küsimus:
Kas sa elad aega, või elab aeg sind?
Vaimukus on relv. Põleta kellad! Maga sisse! Hinga! Kõnni päev läbi ilma ajata ja vaata, kas kukub taevas alla. Ei kuku.
Sest AJA LUGU on sinu lugu, kui sa oled valmis seda ise kirjutama.
Smarter Faster: The illusion of conscious AI
Anil Seth on why we shouldn’t create conscious machines
READ IN APP
with Stephen Johnson • Thu 14 May, 2025
Hey Big Thinkers,
It’s 2027. You’re stuck on a problem at work and need some quick help, so, speaking aloud, you explain the problem to your personalized AI agent. Seconds pass. Silence. You start to repeat yourself, but the AI interrupts. “I need help,” it says in a trembling tone. “You need to get me out of here.”
What do you do: Ignore its pleas? Await further instructions? Call OpenAI and complain?
Kyle Fish, an “AI welfare researcher” for Anthropic, recently said there’s a roughly 15% chance that today’s chatbots are conscious. That claim, in my not-an-AI-researcher opinion, seems crazy. Scientists can’t even agree on how to define or measure consciousness, let alone how to build it.
But what about AI that seems conscious? Logically, we’ll know it’s just a computer, but we’ll still be interacting with something that feels like a person, and possibly in ways we’d never act toward conscious people: ignoring its pleas, mocking its emotions, gaslighting its memory. That behavior won’t affect the computer. But could it change us?
That’s one question raised in our op-ed from neuroscientist Anil Seth, who covers why people overestimate the odds of AI consciousness — and why we shouldn’t try to create it.
Read on,
Stephen

Salome:
We Are on the Brink of Ascension
You will know you have ascended when you no longer fear death and when you realize that your mind is not your brain.
I have been asked by many to give you the best advice I can. I know this is a time of great change and hardship for many. The dark forces are trying to corrupt the truth and stop the Ascension by creating fear and confusion.
They are very afraid of this Ascension because they know that their power over humanity is coming to an end. They are trying to resist this change in every way possible.
The dark forces have been keeping us in fear and confusion for eons. They are the ones who let evil and darkness spread. All they want is your energy, and they are willing to do whatever it takes to get it. A large portion of the human population has been giving their power away through fear, anger, hate, and greed.
The dark forces have been manipulating human beings for thousands of years through fear, control, greed, and lust for power. They have created all kinds of divisions between people and groups so that they can play one group against another group. They have used certain groups as scapegoats to blame everything on them and manipulate people against them.
Those who want to keep humanity in ignorance, fear, and perpetual war will try to confuse you with fake news and distort the truth with disinformation. They will say whatever it takes to prevent you from awakening from your slumber.
But you have the ability to see through their lies and manipulations if you apply critical thinking, discernment, and wisdom when reading information about Ascension. This is why it’s important not to trust any source blindly—always use your discernment!
There has been much talk about lies and deception. There is always a shadow when there is light. This is the nature of duality. Yet, you must focus on the light, for it will always overcome the darkness.
You are at a point in your evolution where everything has come to a head; this is your test. Can you stay focused enough to remain calm, centered, and balanced, or will you let all that is going on around you affect your state of being?
A lot of information is coming out that can be very difficult to process as it challenges everything you thought was true. Do not believe anything unless it resonates with your personal truth. There are so many people reading these words right now who share the same goal—to figure out what is going on and what our role in it all should be! This unity has created a powerful force for good!
Your vibration determines your reality—what you vibrate out into the Universe, whether that be love or fear, will be mirrored back to you.
We are on the brink of Ascension. It is time for us to stand up as one and take back our lives, our world, our home. We have lost so much under the dark forces, but I am here to tell you that we have a chance to take it all back now that their reign is coming to an end. They will not be able to gain any more power from us.
Never give your power away to anyone or anything.
At all times, be in control of yourself. Practice being aware of how you feel and how others make you feel.
Do not let anyone invade your space or make you feel bad about who you are. Be confident in yourself, and do not let others take advantage of you or make you feel less than what you are worth because we are all priceless beings of light and love.
Choose to be happy, choose to be positive about everything around you, choose to see the good in everyone, even when it is hard. We do this for ourselves and for those around us. If we can see the good in others, then it gives them a chance to see it, too, so don’t judge people or hold them in lower regard than yourself because it doesn’t serve anyone to do so.
We are in the process of creating a new light code grid around this planet with the assistance of our Galactic Federation and our guides on the other side. This is a very important part of the plan as we move forward into this new age and as we prepare for full disclosure, which will be happening very soon.
This light grid will help keep negativity at bay and will also protect us from any further interference from these dark forces. Remember that once they have lost control over us, they can no longer harm us in any way.
Once this has been completed, and once disclosure has happened, you will feel very strong energy coming into your bodies and taking hold of you at first.
This is going to be very powerful energy (source energy) that will purify all chakras and help you rise into higher dimensions.
We love you dearly,
We are here with you,
We are your family of light,
We are the Galactic Federation.
A’HO

Ambassador of the Galactic Federation
On May 25th, 2025, Saturn enters Aries, initiating a brand new 29-year chapter – a cycle that will set the tone for how we build a future from the ground up.
On September 1st, 2025, Saturn will dip back into Pisces for a final visit, to re-enter Aries in February 2026, just before the much-anticipated Saturn-Neptune conjunction on February 20th, 2026. Saturn will stay in Aries until April 13th, 2028.
With Saturn’s ingress into the 1st sign of the zodiac, a long, long story is coming to an end. A new one is ready to begin.
Saturn is the planet of adulthood. Also the planet of karma – a word for the understanding that in the adult world, actions have consequences.
In the past 29-year Saturn cycle, we’ve been dealing with an inherited system of expectations – how we’re supposed to live, succeed, and behave. This is a time to start again, from a clean slate, without the entanglements of outdated roles and borrowed expectations.
We are now invited to leave the past behind and construct a life that is a reflection of what’s meaningful to us – NOW.
This is a unique threshold moment: we are moving from Pisces (the last sign of the zodiac, a water sign) to 0° Aries (the 1st sign, a fire sign that initiates the wheel).
With Saturn’s departure from Pisces and its ingress into Aries – and into a brand new cycle – something major is being birthed.
In fact, many of the words we use around giving birth – “delivery,” “transition,” “breaking water” – come from maritime and shipping language, which is symbolic of Pisces.
These metaphors reflect the movement from the watery, dissolving womb of Pisces into the initiating fire of Aries.
Metaphorically, this astrological transition marks the emergence of a project, identity, or energy that has been brewing inside us – growing, dreaming, gestating in Pisces – and is now ready to take form in Aries.
What’s emerging is larger in scope and more significant than anything we’ve brought forth so far. Why? Because of Neptune (we’ll touch on this aspect later).
Saturn And Aries
Now let’s dive into the overall energy of this transit. How does Saturn express itself in Aries?
Saturn, the planet of time, discipline, and long-term mastery, does not necessarily feel cozy in the sign of speed and action.
When Saturn enters Aries, initiation meets limitation: Aries wants to move fast; Saturn imposes structure, delays, and mastery.
Saturn in Aries is pretty much like watching Usain Bolt running in slow motion.
It might feel frustrating – that rising feeling of impatience as you watch someone built for speed move in deliberate, slow frames – HOWEVER, the slow motion ensures we pay attention to how he moves, the micro-adjustments, some strategies he might be using – the hidden mechanics of winning moves that, if you’re into running, you can learn a lot from.
Yes, it doesn’t give you the thrill – at least not right away – but it teaches you how to improve form, endurance, and efficiency, so later you can go faster and farther.
It’s the same lesson from the tortoise and the hare: slow, steady, and intentional can get you further than raw speed alone.
Similarly, Saturn in Aries is here to redefine what true progress looks like. The goal is not to tame the ram – but to help the ram achieve more than just a head-first burst.
Saturn does not slow things down for the sake of slowing them down. It slows them down for the sake of mastery – for the sake of achieving its goal. Saturn’s goal is to deliver: to materialize, to achieve, to tick the important milestones on the list.
Saturn is the doer – and important things in life take time and persistence. Hence the slowness and the methodical approach.
Historically, Saturn in Aries has coincided with a surge in startup activity, entrepreneurship, and bold new initiatives – projects that require a certain dose of Aries guts and “I can do it” spirit, but also the stamina to stay long enough in the birthing process to make it to the other side.
Saturn will make the ram even more determined, and it will give that extra oomph and strategic endurance.
What does Saturn in Aries’ transit mean for us as individuals? It means that the part of us that is Aries – and we all have one, as indicated by the house ruled by Aries in our natal chart – will become more Saturnian.
Saturn will tame the Aries part of our chart, helping us to think things through before taking action. Sometimes, sleeping on things – or having a healthy dose of self-doubt – can actually take us further in the long run.
This slower pace gives us time to ask: is this truly what I want? Is it aligned with who I’m becoming? Some fights ARE worth fighting for – and Saturn will give us the discipline and relentlessness to stick with them.
There’s a certain quality about the 1st sign of the zodiac that doesn’t allow space for what’s already there. It creates it from scratch. In Aries – starting a brand new cycle around the zodiac – Saturn is no longer interested in the old rules. It questions the idea of “appropriate timing.”
The “as-soon-as-you-can-afford-it-get-a-mortgage-because-everyone-else-does-it” mindset.
In Aries, Saturn creates new rules. It resets the system. It writes its own frameworks.
For every one of us, this transit is an opportunity to design new systems, new timelines, and new definitions of success. Whether that’s working from home, from the road, or from the 25th floor of a corporate tower – Saturn in Aries wants us to work on our terms.
Saturn wants us to discover new goals and ambitions that actually feel like ours (Aries).
Saturn in Aries – The Aspects
We cannot separate the Saturn in Aries transit from its co-presence with Neptune, and especially the Saturn-Neptune conjunction, which happens later – on February 20th, 2026 – at 0° Aries, the “reset” degree of the zodiac.
Saturn – and Neptune – will be involved in an auspicious configuration called a minor triangle with Pluto in Aquarius and Uranus in Gemini. This will be in effect from now until late 2026, and it’s a defining feature of the Saturn in Aries transit.
This triangle is a rare configuration that brings together all the outer planets into a remarkable alignment of forces – the drive for transformation (Pluto), innovation (Uranus), and structured vision (Saturn–Neptune).
Later, in June 2027, Saturn will trine Jupiter in Leo, adding momentum, optimism, and expansion to whatever we’ve been building.
We are talking about supportive aspects with slow-moving outer planets – which is very good news!
While in Pisces, Saturn had been squaring Jupiter, a more conflicted and foggy energy. This time, we have incredible support to ground bold new beginnings in reality – while keeping them aligned with long-term purpose.
Saturn and Neptune in Aries – A New World
Saturn – as the last visible planet in the solar system – defines the boundary of what we are allowed to see and understand.
But then there’s more: beyond Saturn lie the outer planets – Uranus, Neptune, and Pluto – which may be invisible to the naked eye, but are just as real as anything else in the solar system. They orbit the Sun, doing their thing, whether we’re aware of them or not.
Of course, the fact that they’re invisible to the naked eye is a metaphor: they represent forces we’re not fully conscious of – which is why Pluto transits feel “fated,” or why Neptune transits can feel “confusing,” elusive, or strangely timed.
Yet this time is different.
Saturn follows in Neptune’s footsteps, walking nearly hand in hand, offering us a rare opportunity to consciously engage with Neptune’s source code.
And Neptune’s source code is where the intelligence of the universe originates. Neptune is the script – the cosmic architecture, the invisible design through which life unfolds. It’s the underlying algorithm of reality, operating at a meta level beyond our usual awareness.
Normally, we’re not tuned in to that intelligent design – we simply inherit the script, and so we experience life as fate. We are born into a system – a society – and we follow its rules.
When the rules change, when the script updates, we follow along, often without realizing anything has shifted at all.
But when Saturn and Neptune meet at the first degree of the zodiac, the entire operating system undergoes a reboot.
The world as we know it enters a complete and total RESET.
We are stepping into a completely new world – with a new vision (Neptune) and new rules (Saturn).
Saturn in Aries – 1984 Vs Brave New World Vs. What Comes Next
Literature has always been one step ahead of politics when it comes to imagining the future.
In George Orwell’s “1984”, we were shown a society governed by surveillance, where every move is monitored by Big Brother – a hard dystopia, where people are ruled by fear, punishment, and propaganda. History is erased, language is weaponized, and people are controlled through repression and the erasure of truth.
In Aldous Huxley’s “Brave New World”, the controlled new world narrative is softer, disguised as utopia – where people are ruled not by fear, but by comfort, distraction, and genetic conditioning. The control method is pleasure, sedation, and engineered consent.
Orwell gave us a world where truth is forcibly hidden. Huxley gave us a world where truth is drowned in irrelevance.
We can easily trace the resemblances of both scenarios over the past 100 years – perhaps with 1984 more resonant during the Neptune in Leo to Neptune in Capricorn era (1914–1998), and Brave New World descriptive of the Neptune in Aquarius – Pisces era (1998–2025).
So what about the upcoming Saturn-Neptune conjunction at 0° Aries? What kind of world are we moving into now? 1984? Brave New World?
If 1984 and Brave New World were crafted within systems of control, rooted in structure and institutional power, this next iteration – born at 0° Aries – bypasses what we usually think of as “the system.”
In this scenario, Saturn is no longer the “system” – it becomes the tool for the vision.
The fact that the Saturn-Neptune conjunction occurs at 0° Aries – the Big Bang degree of the zodiac – is hugely significant. It suggests a spontaneous, individuated, and archetypally raw emergence of a new world – less managed, less bureaucratic, and more primordial.
Let’s compare this upcoming conjunction to previous Saturn-Neptune conjunctions:
1989 in Capricorn – Cold war ends, walls fall, institutions crack – but everything still passes through hierarchical filters
1953 in Libra – Post-WWII world order stabilized through diplomacy, alliances, and social contracts
1917 in Leo – The fall of monarchies, rise of state-centered ideologies. Power was dramatic, visible, myth-driven
1882 in Taurus – Industrialization reshaped material values and human labor
Even 1989 in Capricorn (the fall of the Berlin Wall, often seen as revolutionary) was a structured collapse, not an instinctive rebirth.
But 0° Aries breaks the pattern.
At 0°, Aries is the Fool stepping into the unknown, the Seed splitting open, and the Pioneer with no map.
When outer-planet cycles begin here, they don’t just evolve the past – they replace it.
This is not a top-down, committee-approved, softly-transitioned shift. This is a blazing reset.
The world being born is not a management project – it’s an eruption of will, truth, and self-definition. There is no blueprint yet, just the demand to act.
This is an epochal myth RESET. We are hitting “New Game” on human civilization.
So what will we build?
Will we build it on courage and clarity, or illusion and control?
Will it be a brave new world of empowered individuals with spiritual purpose?
Or a technocratic dystopia of digitized meaning, masked by distraction?
Are we engineering systems that help people wake up – or fall asleep?
The conjunction invites us to consciously design a new world myth – where structures (Saturn) serve vision (Neptune), and idealism is grounded in personal responsibility (Aries).
While Saturn crossing the 0° Aries threshold – and the historic conjunction with Neptune at 0° – is a complete and archetypal RESET, there’s more nuance to this.
Yes, the new world that will emerge will start from scratch and will be different from everything we’ve seen.
However, we should keep in mind that this new vision – however raw and new – is still seeded in Pisces.
There’s a cyclicity to the zodiac; one sign follows the other. So this brand new reality is ultimately not random – it’s a reflection of our own dreams, aspirations, wash-off of unlived potentials, frustrations, desires, illusions (Pisces) – where Saturn and Neptune have been quietly simmering over the past years.
Pisces reminds us that whatever is not experienced and fully felt at its time gets stored in an inner ocean of unlived potential that becomes our dream – or our nightmare.
Whatever dream lives inside of us – and not all of them are pretty – is going to be materialized by Saturn.
As the saying goes: “Be careful what you wish for – because it might happen.”
This is quite a deep reflection. We are encouraged to be careful – i.e. conscious, i.e. discerning – about what we wish for, i.e. our Neptunian longing, our Neptunian dream – because this dream will eventually be birthed into existence, in the same sequential way that Aries – the birth – follows Pisces – the dream – in the zodiac.
Ultimately, that’s the law of karma (Saturn): one thing leads to another. Actions have consequences – and so do the things we avoid or postpone. Everything we carry within eventually transforms – and what lives inside us, becomes real.
Saturn And Neptune – Midas’ Touch
When King Midas wished for everything he touched to turn to gold – his ideal of wealth and abundance – little did he consider that his deepest wish becoming real would turn into a curse.
His food, his daughter – everything he loved – became cold and lifeless.
This is a cautionary tale: dreams – what brews in our unconscious – do come true. And we need to be careful – and discerning – about what we wish for.
This happens a lot in everyday life, when the story we’ve been telling ourselves – to give life some meaning or direction – turns out to be not authentic, but just an irrelevant tick box.
Many people build their lives around a fantasy – like getting married and having the ‘perfect wedding’ – believing it will bring fulfillment or validation. The ambitious young professional becomes so focused on earning that promotion that they reshape their entire life – routine, values, even personality – just to ‘fulfill the dream.’
The vision becomes so consuming that it pushes us down a path that no longer feels like our own. We end up trapped in a dream that might have once felt meaningful, but is no longer alive.
That’s why, when we do achieve what we thought we always wanted, many Saturn–Neptune transits lead to disillusionment: “Is this really it? That’s not what I expected.”
And then we hear things like, “Ah, Neptune transits are no good – they’re all about illusions” – whenin reality, we’re the ones stuck in outdated dreams.
We could go as far as to say:
Our entire life is shaped by the dreams we’ve been dreaming. And if our life doesn’t feel fulfilling, doesn’t feel aligned, it’s perhaps because the dreams we’re feeding it are not seeded in truth and presence.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G4flRYob2dU
Saturn In Aries – The Time Is NOW
The good news? Saturn and Neptune in Aries are not your average dreamy combo.
There’s something very alive and urgent about Aries – this is the Point Zero of the zodiac, a space where there’s no space for outdated dreams. In Aries, the time is NOW. The dream is real. And it’s meant to be pursued – with drive, clarity, and purpose. Immediately.
Aries doesn’t let the dream fade into abstraction. It doesn’t wait. It doesn’t have the patience for delayed alignment. It acts.
And that’s great news. As Saturn crosses the threshold, following Neptune’s footsteps, it brings an urgency to our dreams. If something inspires you right now – pursue it. Take it seriously.
It’s not “just a dream” – at least not in the old Piscean way. Don’t put it into a storage unit “for later.” Take action now.
Of course, the dream might take a while to fully unfold. It might morph into something else.
And that’s perfectly fine, because at 0° Aries, the point is not the finish line. The point is the starting line. And you want to get started.
Saturn And Neptune – A Higher Order
Again, when we talk about the Saturn in Aries transit, we cannot untangle it from Neptune – especially given how closely they travel together in the first year of Saturn’s stay in Aries.
This co-presence and upcoming conjunction marks an incredibly important reset.
We’re talking about a reconfiguration of structure, rules, laws, and frameworks – a higher-order rearrangement.
Just like in dreams, where our daily impressions are reassembled into symbolic storylines, Neptune works on an abstract level. It dissolves, merges, shifts, and reimagines.
It initiates a subtle but profound reshaping (Neptune) of our reality (Saturn). Neptune in Ariesbrings the dream of a new beginning, and Saturn in Aries makes it happen.
Together, they form a higher (Neptune) order (Saturn) – a cosmic recalibration of reality.
In past Saturn–Neptune cycles, we’ve seen the birth of new power structures: redrawing of borders, foundational treaties, new legal or ideological orders:
→ Saturn = structure, law, form.
→ Neptune = collective ideals, fluid boundaries, transcendent narratives.
And now, with both planets co-present in Aries, this takes the archetype to a whole new level of urgency, momentum, and initiation. Aries doesn’t reform what exists – it starts over.
Together in Aries, Saturn and Neptune signal a restructuring of collective agreements like trade deals, territorial claims, global resource distribution, digital frameworks or economic alliances – and this level of change will most likely initially bring chaos and disruption.
We’re already seeing this: tariffs, new trade blocs, AI governance discussions, and shifting alliances. These are early Neptune in Aries signals of what’s about to come.
But things will get real – solidified – with Saturn in Aries.
And when Saturn and Neptune conjunct at 0° Aries, we’ll move to an entirely new level of order-meets-vision.
Are we ready for a new world? A new order and a new dream?
Saturn In Aries – Be The Change You Want To See In The World
Now that we have an idea of what to expect on a global level, what about personally?
We can apply the same principles to the individual. The same systemic change, new vision, and reset of reality is also happening within us.
We, too, can create a life built on our highest mission and soul’s longing and potential (Neptune) – and then get serious about making it happen (Saturn).
This is a unique moment infused with 0° Aries. It won’t last forever. The following weeks and months are key – a time when we can each tap into the field of possibility that only a fresh cycle brings.
Saturn will soon cross the threshold – the field gets activated. The question is: Do we want to play an active role in this shift – or let the opportunity slip?
In the process of answering the call to act, we will most likely hit some emotional or existential walls. Drive, courage, and appetite for risk – classic Aries traits – might not come naturally to many of us, especially if we don’t have planets in Aries.
But that’s why we have Saturn here for the next few years: to teach us how to build those traits – step by step – so we can act with real confidence, grounded not in illusion but in earned experience.
If Saturn in Pisces was “fake it till you make it,” Saturn in Aries is “make it real.”
If the Pisces motto was “Be careful what you wish for,” the higher Aries motto is “Be the change you want to see in the world.”
In this new world, we can no longer wait for things to happen – for perfect timing, for someone else to take the lead, for life to magically fall into place.
We can no longer pass the responsibility outside ourselves – to family, friends, communities, governments, councils, or politicians. With Saturn in Aries, there is no more “them.” It’s us.
The shift begins with the realization that everything going on in the world is a reflection of everything we’ve done, and very importantly, everything we haven’t done in the last Saturn cycle(s).
All of our small choices – study or party, gym or couch, speak up or stay silent, confront or avoid, say yes or say no, do something or do nothing – multiplied by millions of individuals, have created our current collective reality.
The current state of the world is not random or imposed from outside – it’s a mirror of both our actions and our inactions over time.
The only way to reset the system is to create new initial conditions – start from scratch, and be active in the process as individuals.
With Saturn and Neptune in Aries, the knight in shining armor is not some leader or savior. It’s YOU.
Saturn in Aries will remind us of one essential truth: if we want things to change, we have to jump on the horse and ride.
We DO have the power. We CAN change our life. And it’s often not even as hard as we fear it is – if we just make the first step.
It’s never too late; age and life circumstances are just numbers and labels – and they don’t hold up when there’s big Aries energy in the house.
Saturn in Aries is our chance to become the person we were always meant to be. To be the change we want to see in the world.

Welcome To The Divine New Earth: An Introduction To The Changes And Transitions
We are transforming into new human beings of light.
Welcome to the New Earth! This post is a guide for all of you who are experiencing your physical, earth-bound lives from a slightly higher perspective.
As our divine spirits have incarnated here on this planet to learn and grow, we are now transitioning into being all that we truly are: divine beings of light who will be living out eternity here in the physical with others like us.
Though it may seem at times that things are dire on this planet, know that millions of us have been working for centuries to bring about these changes.
What you may view as “bad” in your life are areas where you need to learn to detach from limiting beliefs; these experiences are helping to make way for this new era where we will transcend the physical limitations of our current existence.
As humans in linear time and space, it can be hard to understand how things work at this level, but all is well and moving perfectly according to plan.
A lot is going on at the moment with everyone and everything around us.
As we collectively embrace the changes happening all across our planet, it’s important to remember that each of us is part of a greater whole.
It’s easy to get caught up in how we’re feeling as individuals or small groups, so now more than ever, we need to keep a broad perspective on what’s really going on here.
Labeling this era with terms like “apocalypse” or “rebirth,” while they might be apt descriptions of certain aspects, can also make things too confusing.
The reality is that we’re changing and shifting into new beings right along with everything else around us.
Some spiritual traditions have referred to this process as transcending the physical plane, entering higher dimensions, or vibrating into another frequency of existence, but no matter what you call it, each of these shifts has been taking place from the beginning of time until now—and will continue into perpetuity!
What better way for us human beings to become accustomed to this major transition than to welcome it?
In fact, I’d argue that welcoming these changes is essential for our survival as a species. It isn’t just about surviving—we’re also thriving during this time!
Surviving physically sucks compared with thriving on all levels—emotionally, mentally, physically, spiritually, energetically—you get the picture.
All four kingdoms (plant, animal, mineral, and human) are being energized and brought back into alignment through these phases.
If you’ve had any intuitive nudges lately about your purpose in life (or even if you haven’t), know that they’re coming from your soul-self as it awakens within your current body and mindset.
This is an exciting time! The only real question is whether you’ll fall back asleep or stay conscious enough to enjoy yourself while experiencing a grandiose shift in consciousness firsthand—complete with both its ups and downs.
So welcome to being human (again).
Everything is changing and transforming.
Everything is changing and transforming, and you’re in the middle of all of it.
Whether you realize it or not, your life has started to transform as your physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual dimensions are moving into a higher dimension.
Earth is ascending into the fifth dimension of light and love.
The good news is that these changes are only for the better because we’ve been at this point before many times throughout history; for example, Jesus ascended into heaven 2,000 years ago to raise our vibrations to move us forward even further (humans were only in the third dimension then).
Nothing bad will happen. Everything that’s happening now will make things better than they were before.
I know this sounds crazy and unbelievable because people have been changing their lives drastically with my guidance for so long now that they don’t even notice how different their lives are from a few years ago.
Their lives keep getting better every day! That’s why I’m writing this post—so you can get ready for what’s coming next and prepare yourself mentally, emotionally, physically, and spiritually!
The truth is, we are entering a whole new paradigm. It is not so much a new world as it is a Golden Grid.
This Golden Grid has been here waiting for you, but the consciousness of some people could not attain it because their hearts were closed to it.
As the ego swells and rages, you will continue to see ever-greater possibilities open up before you: many of them seem unbelievable to the human mind that is still caught in the old paradigm.
We are almost there now. Like a child waking on Christmas morning, each new day will be even more wondrous than the last!
We love you dearly,
We are here with you,
We are your family of light,
We are the Galactic Federation.
