Culture collapsing, create anyway

The quality of time has changed and will continue to change. We are living in combustible times. Since November 2024, the astro heavyweights, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune and Pluto, have all changed signs. This isn’t just symbolic; it reflects the upheaval we feel on the ground.

Importantly, Saturn transited from dreamy, dissolving and sometimes confusing Pisces into Aries, the god of war, ruled by Mars. Pluto has exited Capricorn and entered Aquarius, the sign of rebellion and revolution, but also of rigid ideology and collective control.

Earth + Water = Mud
Air + Fire = Combustible

Ancient lands. Ancient cultures. Bombs fall. Genocide against neighbours. Millions face starvation, displacement and terror. This is not metaphor. This is not a cycle. This is violence and oppression in real time.

When you feel overwhelmed

In fast, intense times, it’s natural to feel helpless.

We move through our lives safe, or safer, knowing that for many in our human family, survival is uncertain.

So start where you are. Let it pierce your numbness. Don’t look away.

Then take practical action.

• Give and share what you can.
• Call your political representatives.
• Support grassroots resistance and frontline aid.
• Check in with those directly impacted, if possible.
• Refuse numbness and disengagement.

Use the internet to connect and act

In this era of global connectivity, you are not powerless.

• Use your online access to amplify truth, support resistance and stay informed.
• Reach out to impacted communities, journalists and organisers.
• Follow their lead. Share their words.
• Don’t centre yourself, centre action.
• Digital presence is not enough, but it’s not nothing

  Create culture that remembers who we are.
  Create culture that demands accountability.
  Create culture that fights and lives for life.
