The astro events of the next few days may well contribute to the collective confusion so evident in the world, especially in the United States. Also added is more drama to the 3I/Atlas scenarios. We will take a look at it.
Mercury Retrograde and Out-of-Bounds
As so many astrologers have been weighing in on, Mercury stations retrograde on Sunday, November 9, 11:02AM PST at 6Sagittarius51. This begins the metamorphic phase of Mercury’s Leo Overstory, that began August 11. This phase is when Mercury stations direct on November 29 at 20Scorpio42 and thus shape-shifts into the next synodic Overstory which will be Scorpio.
For a deep take on this Mercury retrograde I highly recommend the post The Fixed and The Volatile from Gary Caton.
Less known is that Mercury is also now out-of-bounds (23S46), and will be from November 1-11. If that was not enough, as we are still in maximum Lunar Standstill season, the Cancer Moon is also OOB (26N42) … A triple whammy of unpredictability and cessation of rational left-brain sensibilities! My counsel is inner work and a willingness and resolve to not be assimilable to consensus reality. Oh, yes, there are also major solar storms adding spice to the celestial set-up. Best to lie low!
Jupiter Stationary Retrograde
Adding to the unusual alignment of Mercury retrograde, an OOB Mercury and an OOB Cancer Moon, is that Jupiter is soon stationary retrograde, namely on Tuesday, 8:41AM PST, at 25Cancer09. Just before that, on Monday at 1:09AM, a still OOB Cancer Moon aligns with Jupiter at 25Cancer08. Consider that these Moon conjunctions amplify and spotlight Jupiter!
The natal Mercury of the United States is 24Cancer11Rx in opposition to Pluto! The United States is in its 20th Jupiter Return. This is exactly why this Mercury Return and this Jupiter Station in particular, certainly adds to the confusion and strangeness in the United States just now.
The 3I/Atlas Situation
The differing views about this “comet” are highly polarized. On one hand, the common mainstream view is emphasizing a threat from an alien spacecraft. Urged on by ex-CIA operatives and former Israeli intelligence agent Avi Loeb, billionaires are lining up to finance the Golden Dome and expand the Space Force. I believe this to be a psyop on steroids. Even Spielberg and Hollywood are involved.
On the other hand, coming from New Age and channeled sources, is the view that 3I/Atlas is bringing in the Golden Age. I remain a skeptic and generally agnostic. However, I have recently read a great piece by one of my favorite writers, Andrew Collins, on Ancient Origins. Collins presents the most credible view that I have yet seen. It suggests a third way of interpreting that utilizes a topic I have written about extensively: the topic of Plasma, and that it is alive – especially when approaching the Sun!

I also highly recommend the most recent Dark Journalist YouTube show, illuminating so many of the relevant issues.
