“Space and time form a psychological a priori, an aspect of the archetypal quaternity which is altogether indispensable for acquiring knowledge of physical processes.” — Carl Jung

Hey, how’s everybody?-How to trust him [within], not them [the noise]

This week, I’m going to go geeky. Geeky all the way.This article is going to be about charts and small talk it is quite long so pace yourself, because I want you to look at these charts and try to make sense in your life. This is more or less like a mirror. You can then go and read more stuff. I’m going to base all the charts on The Fourth Turning, Pluto in Evolutionary Astrology, Aion (αἰών)—symbolic time, and the dimension of meaning that moves beyond physical matter in Biogeometry as frequency.

I’m talking about generations. I’m talking about cycles ending and starting. And I’m doing all this because by this summer, we’re going to have all the bigger planets changing signs. This signals a new reset. They’re going to be temporarily in a new sign until the fall—when they’ll all go back to the previous sign, Saturn and Neptune will re enter Pisces and Uranus will go back briefly to Taurus, except Jupiter in Cancer and Pluto in Aquarius. And this reminds us that there are probably things we have to revise before we move into the next P-H-A-S-E.

The Fourth Turning: Cycles of Collapse and Renewal

“Fourth Turnings save us from complacency. They force our society to recivilize.”“History is seasonal, and winter is coming.”

Let’s start with The Fourth Turning, a book by William Strauss and Neil Howe that tracks the rhythm of history in four-part cycles called turnings.

Turning comes from the Old English turnian—to rotate, revolve, or pivot.

Each cycle—or saeculum—meaning “a long human life” or “a generation”—lasts about 80 to 100 years, roughly a human lifespan.

It moves through four phases: High, Awakening, Unraveling, and Crisis.

We’re now deep into the fourth one: Crisis.From the Greek krisis—a decision, a fork in the road. A judgment point. They call it a time of collapse and rebirth where institutions scramble and a new order emerges.

This was done over studies that they traced over 500 years of Anglo-American history and saw the same pulse repeating. History is seasonal, they wrote, and winter is coming.

Each generation plays a role, like actors in a myth: the prophets—missionaries, the nomads—survivors, the heroes—rebuilders, and the artists—harmonizers. It’s so very archetypal. You cannot predetermine because things unfold with the free will of the people. However, this can be read as the sentiment of humanity through cycles.

Recognizing where we are in the cycle gives us a clarity about what’s fading, what’s rising, and what we’re actually here to...

“Yet the great weakness of linear time is that it obliterates time’s recurrence and thus cuts people off from the eternal—whether in nature, in each other, or in ourselves.”

“When you don’t follow your nature there is a hole in the universe where you were supposed to be.”― Dane Rudhyar

Evolutionary Astrology

It’s called that because it tracks the evolution of the soul. The term was coined by Jeffrey Wolf Green, who defined it as the study of the soul’s journey over lifetimes. He worked with Pluto as the main symbol of that journey—Pluto as the force that compels evolution through necessity.

Jeffrey used to say, “Pluto is the agent of the Soul’s evolutionary journey. Where there is resistance, Pluto will create pressure.”

Pluto shows where we hold unconscious attachments—to power, to survival strategies, to identities we’ve outgrown. It also shows the kind of loss or confrontation we’re here to metabolize. It always brings a theme of power and disempowerment.

So the plac
