For those who want to get to know a bit more about Trump's VP pick, this article has some juicy info about his Big Tech ties and it's also a great read for those of you who appreciate good writing.

The only comment I'll make is: There are NO Saviors, and especially not from our presidential candidates. For those who think Trump is either Savior or Bully (i.e. "Hi**er"), I invite you to consider that this is part of a Drama Triangle way of thinking, and we're being invited to move beyond it.

This is not the first, and certainly not the last, time I've brought up this (Karpman) Drama Triangle---Victim, Savior, Bully---and how it seems pretty clear to me that evolving out of it is the big challenge of our time.

I recognize that it's such an enticing, engaging drama to get involved in and that's why it gathers people in to play it. I also recognize that we humans have been playing it for many generations now.

As a result of this recognition, I'm not here to judge folks who are playing roles in this game. Instead, I'm doing what I can to offer you a shift of perspective so that you may find there's a way to live your life, and engage with current events and politics, without being a participant in that game.

If it wasn't for what seems to be the fact that if enough of us don't give up this game, we may do great damage to each other and this world we live in, I might even be compelled to quit talking about it and to just witness it all. But my deep sense is that playing it is not only damaging to the players but it has very real impacts on those of us who aren't playing it.

Anyway, if you're curious about how this relates to the US Presidential Election and how I see the events of this week, let me know, and I can write (or speak) more about it.

For now, here's the article, with the final comment that all I'm asking people to do is to go a little deeper than usual and to keep a detached, open mind about all of the things going on, including the new power players like JD Vance:

Trump VP pick J.D. Vance is the creation of Silicon Valley’s worst billionaires

It's cringeworthy to watch the CNN analysts take turns twisting the knife into Joe Biden's back about his predictably poor debate performance, acting all earnest about how he needs to step down for the sake of the country when they actively sought to defy the FCC and the traditions of American debates by keeping a candidate who could replace Biden off the stage in RFK, Jr.

There's NO respect for the American public in ANY of this.

If there was, first the DNC would have allowed a member of one of their most prominent families, a family who was historically wronged by assassin's bullets in the 1960s, onto a primary ticket and then run a legitimate, EARNEST Democratic Primary.

Second, CNN would have alllowed RFK Jr. to participate tonight.

So, sorry, I'm not buying any of the crocodile tears from the CNN panelists.

"This was a hit job," Matt Taibbi said about CNN hosting this debate and their response to it.

Indeed.

It seems increasingly likely that they moved this debate to this unprecedented early time slot---debates have always been held in the fall---so that they and viewers could watch what we all know—Biden's too old for the job—and then pile on him and prepare to announce a replacement candidate by the time of the Democratic National Convention in August.

Nothing is earnest in US politics and corporate US political media. And we ALL suffer for it, no matter your political perspective.

My latest blog post on the "psychology weather forecast" for Cancer Season 2024 is out....it's been a hard day's week getting this sucker ready for y'all! Happy to have it done so I can take advantage of the chill out of the Cancer Sun over this weekend.

For a bit of a dip into a post with a lot more info than this, here is the section titled "An Overview of the Month." If you enjoy this, please consider clicking on the link, subscribing to the blog, and reading the rest of the article! Your life may very well depend on it! Ha ha.

"An Overview of the Month"

For this 2024 Cancer Season, the astrological energies invite us to slow down, especially in the first part of the month when the Sun, Mercury, and Venus are all in Cancer after their stay in Gemini.

Second, about one-third of the way into Cancer Season, two outer planets—Saturn and Neptune—will join Pluto in retrograde motion. Briefly, planets in retrograde can express themselves more introvertedly than when they are moving direct.

As we move further into Cancer Season, things will start heating up again, with Mercury (July 2) and Venus (July 12) moving into Leo, followed by a potentially explosive meeting between fiery Mars and revolutionary Uranus in Ta**us (July 15), right in time for the three-day Republican National Convention (RNC) from July 15-18 in Milwaukee, as though American politics needs any help being wild.

Not to worry, folks. An intuitive iguana disguised as a toilet bowl cleaner in Mar-A-Lago is employed on my diverse staff, and he’s sure to keep me—and, by extension, you—informed about what’s really going on behind the scenes in Trump Town.

For now, let’s not worry ourselves over such trifling matters as presidential politics, and let’s turn to a more focused, week-by-week look at the astrology of Cancer Season."

After a hyperactive few months, the astrology of this month takes its foot off the gas and invites us to feel our way forward into the second half of 2024

My latest blog post is a pretty fun one in which I share about how the archetype of Saturn is connected to the archetype of the Threshold Guardian but I do it by taking you on a photo journey of an epic bike ride to a cool Japanese temple in the mountains, too (with lots of silly captions along the way).

Enjoy!

(Since I'm in the mood to share some of the media I've been making---see the post below this for my most recent blog post on Gemini Season---in the first Comment, I'll share a link to my most recent podcast episode, which was a rather inspired-by-the-Sagittarius-Full-Moon energies ad-libbed chat about a powerful dream I had, the movie "Forrest Gump," and what I think are some challenging conversations that we should consider taking on if we are going to heal some of the many divisions our society is facing.

24/05/2024

Are you feeling a different energy this week than last week? Perhaps a bit more outgoing, more talkative? Maybe it's even a bit too much energy? I know I've been feeling it.

Well, one of the reasons I'm entering into the field of astrology in this, my post-age-50 "Second Life," is so that I can more consciously work with these energies and, by extensions, help others work with them, too.

And this week, after a few weeks where we had a lot of earthy, grounded Ta**us energy, the planets are beginning to shift over into the first Air sign of the Zodiac, Gemini, one of my personal favorites (though I really shouldn't chose), partly because my awesome mother, Leslie Fitzgerald Winchell, is a Sun sign Gemini, and partly because it's just a sign that brings with it a lot of wit and playfulness.

Anyway, while I shared this link a few days ago, I'm going to re-share it, but this time I'll put it in my first Comment, thinking that might allow the secretive Facebook algorithms to give it more visibility. Speaking of that, does it ever bother you, as it does me and some others I've spoken with, that these algorithms are secretive? Yeah, it does make "being social" on social media harder when we don't know what the rules of the party are.

Here's to Pluto's transit through another Air sign, Aquarius, over the next 20 years, reworking our social media platforms, bringing more Power to the People. Anyway....for more about the energies of this week and the next three---Gemini Season until the Summer Solstice---go to the first Comment! Enjoy!

Here's a link to my monthly blog post.

The first half is dedicated to an overview of the month ahead and teaches about astrological archetypes, notably Jupiter and Gemini, and the language of astrology.

The second half is a week-by-week breakdown of some of the major transits and aspects and how these things might show up in your life and our world. Enjoy!

One of the reasons Matt Taibbi remains on my Journalism Mt. Rushmore is he actually respects the innate intelligence of people. This is opposite of what all too many of the “elite,” “educated” Establishment, including many in the media, do.

To those folks, I say, “Nope, you’re the conspiracy theorists, living in a bu****it reality of your own design, all while trying to gaslight those of us living in the real world.”

The astrologer in me suspects 2024 is going to continue making this clear to those paying attention. In a society where information flows freely, illusions can only hold their grip on power for so long. And, no, I’m not delusional for believing that but feel free to believe it if it gives you comfort. Reality doesn’t care.

This is an excellent attitude to have, prompted by this final week of the Sun’s annual venture through initiatory, life-loving, courageous Aries.

Not to worry, once the Sun leaves Aries, we’ve still got other planets there, and soon Mars will make its rougly six-week romp through the sign.

More importantly, the north node of the Moon—where our Soul longs to evolve—will remain in Aries for the rest of the year.

And if that’s not long enough, well, in 2025, two of our outer planets, Neptune and Saturn will begin their journey into Aries and, in perhaps my favorite astrological moment I’ve come across, in February 2026, those two planets will meet at 0 degrees of Aries, something that hasn’t happened for thousands of years.

In conclusion, just as it may seem much in our world and our individual lives is ending, this is a wonderful time to courageously seed new beginnings.

What is calling to your Soul to start? What fires you up? Once those questions bring some clarity, the Aries Archetype says, “No Fear! Just Do It!”

I'm sure I've shared this blog post more than once on my page since I wrote it in 2015, but hey, it's an oldie-but-a-goodie, digging deep into the "sad beauty" of our impermanent reality, as reflected in the blooming---and eventual falling to the ground below---of that wonderful symbol of Japan, the "sakura," aka "the cherry blossom."

This quote reminds me of one of my favorite lyrics of the 2010s, “The roses on the lawn / don’t know which side you’re on.”
It’s from “Wishes” by Beach House. The lyric video is in the first Comment.

After a cold spell which included record lows and snow yesterday, I woke late on this Sunday to spring in the air and more war in my media.

I’m going to finish up my morning routine, get outside, and commune with the lillies and roses. They seem wiser to me right now than we humans do.

20/03/2024

Feeling rather disheartened about the anti-Free-Speech news stories of the past week---the ostensible Ban on Tik Tok and now the Supreme Court seeming to have forgotten their Civics 101 Lessons--as the US Federal Government grants itself more power to ---ahem, protect---its citizens.

Most shocking of all was Biden's new Supreme Court Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson when she asked J. Benjamin Aguinaga, Solicitor General of Louisiana:

"So my biggest concern is that your view has the First Amendment hamstringing the government in significant ways in the most important time periods…

Can you help me? Because I’m really — I’m really worried about that because you’ve got the First Amendment operating in an environment of threatening circumstances from the government’s perspective, and you’re saying that the government can’t interact with the source of those problems."

--

As Matt Taibbi quipped, "Can you help me?” Yes, I would love to help you, Justice Jackson, to a less challenging line of work… Hamstringing the government, Good God!

That a line about “the First Amendment hamstringing the government” was uttered by one Supreme Court Justice is astonishing enough. Listening as none of the other eight pointed out that the entire purpose of the First Amendment is to “hamstring” government from interfering in speech was like watching someone drive a tank back and forth over Old Yeller. I needed a bite-stick by the end of the hearing."

---

Hate to say it, Americans, but steering the ship of state back into the seas of sanity may be a lost cause. I love so many of you and I love the land, but man, the government y'all got running things over there---doesn't matter what letter is in front of their names---has forgotten some of the core values that made the U.S. great.

It'd be bad enough if this didn't feel like some sort of post 9/11 PATRIOT ACT moment when the government passed epically bad laws that changed the course of America into a much less free place, but the thing many Americans don't realize is just how much people in places like my current home, Japan, rely on America to be a beacon of freedom, a hopeful example that there's a better way forward.

Welcome to the Age of Aquarius!!

The Disco Biscuits, the band that I used to tour around the western side of the USA from 1999-2002 and that I had the GREAT pleasure to spend four nights in a row with in late January in Lake Tahoe, San Francisco and Santa Cruz, are currently finishing off one of the greatest tours I've ever had the pleasure of listening to with a live video stream of their show on Nugs.Net, doing what they call a “Tractorbeam” set. This means it’s them focusing on their electronic sound, created with live instruments.

When I first heard them back in the late 1990s, a friend told me he thought they sounded like they came from the future.

Well, that future has, indeed, arrived.

Astrologically, Pluto has moved into Aquarius and, after its final dip into Capricorn this fall, it will spend the next 20 years there and to kick off this occasion, it made that move with the Sun back on January 20th, Mercury joined it on February 5th, Mars will join it on Valentine’s Day and last, but not least, Venus will join it on February 17th. All of these conjunctions are taking place in the 1st degree of Aquarius, which is where Jupiter and Saturn met for their every-20-year conjunction right after the Winter Solstice in 2020. It’s also the same part of the chart where Mars was for the US Election in 2016 and where Mars met Saturn at the end of March 2020.

The point is, folks, the future is here and February 2024 is telling us to pay attention.

In addition, while I found myself less and less interested in the events on the football field for this year’s Super Bowl, I have to admit that it will probably go down as, at least, the greatest ending of any Super Bowl, one in which both teams played their hearts out, both coaches called ingenious plays and, unlike last year, the referees kept their flags in their pockets and let the

People on the field decide things. Is this a sign of things to come? A sign of the People actually becoming empowered—in the best sense of the Aquarius archetype—while the outdated, outside forces lose their influence over our lives?

As a guy who had my life radically changed by such forces last year, forces that couldn’t for the life of them justify their behavior to me all while they continued to follow a script that only caused harm to everyone involved, well, I certainly hope so. I certainly hope people will stop giving their Power to these forces, and will, instead, recognize how awesome they can be if they find that Power within themselves.

And, well, if you need a soundtrack to make you feel like you are that Empowered Badass, do yourself a favor and go to Nugs.net and listen to the Disco Biscuits 2024 Tour. It’s the kind of music that says “Age of Aquarius, LET’S GO!”

PS, If you are interested in my thoughts on the astrology of the first half of 2024, or would like an easy access guide to charts for the major events, I have you covered here: https://thearchetypallens.substack.com/p/the-astrology-of-the-first-half-of-2024-is-electric-704cb4aa5824

I wish I was more active on Facebook and I would have then shared some of my short videos and such from my trip to the Pacific Northwest.

Alas, I am not. Perhaps when I get back to Japan in early February, I'll do at least a "Best of" album or something.

Anyway, I spent about 10 days at my mom's place in Puyallup to celebrate the life of my father, Leonard, who passed away last August, and those days were wonderful. It was great to see how well my mom is taken care of and how many nice people she lives with. She's lived a good life and is a very kind, generous person, so my mom deserves a good retirement.

Of course, we are both sad that my father is no longer with us---and always will have grief in our hearts for his passing---but I can see my mom is in a community with a lot of activities, nice people to participate in them with, nice staff, good food and it's safe. Plus, it's near a lovely lake park and has great access to shops and such.

Also, for whatever reason, while much of the Pacific Northwest (and the US as a whole) has been blasted by various forms of wintry distress, my mom's little area was basically unaffected by the worst of it---just a dusting of snow on Thursday, January 11 and then very cold weathers (lows around 10 F, near records, going back to 1989 when I was in HS.

Down here in Vancouver, where I arrived two days ago, it is MUCH snowier, icier and slushier. The train ride down was gorgeous, I titled it Winter Water Land, because there is just so much water in the air and land around here. That's something I'd forgotten.

We went up to Multnomah Falls yesterday but, well, it was windy, cold and icy up there and the path to the falls was closed by police tape. Apparently, someone dumped 22 jugs of taco sauce into the icy river and the waterfall was now in the process of turning into a dragon. At least that's what the guy at the urinal told me.

Anyway, we took a riverside route back home and then spent an enjoyable afternoon chatting around the fire and watching the rest of "Cloud Atlas" in the evening.

I'll hopefully post at least one more update before the trip is over, though come Wednesday it'll get really busy as that's when the main "Road Trip" section of the trip begins---5.5 days for 4 nights of the Disco Biscuits, two in Lake Tahoe in Thursday and Friday, one in San Francisco on Saturday and one in Santa Cruz on Sunday.

Then back to Japan on Monday!

Happy 2024 from the Land of the Rising Sun.

Always grateful when my body cooperates, and I wake up early enough--and then remember--to take New Year's sunrise shots.

If you look closely in one of the photos, you can see Venus up there, in her "morning star" form. I've got to brush up on my Venus knowledge, but remember vaguely that the ancients had a a different perception of the symbolic meaning of Venus as a morning star and as an evening star.

I could look it up, but am a bit sluggish this AM after a five-day marathon/sprint of writing to get 3 long blog posts done before 2023 ended. So as I promised myself I'd do today to recuperate, I'm going to allow myself to be lazy---and then invite anyone who sees this to respond if you know---or want to look up---what the symbolic meaning of morning and evening star Venus is.

Regardless, happy it was sunny this morning and here's to a prosperous, peaceful, productive and powerful 2024!

An odd bit of history that just popped into my noggin' as I was out cycling during a crisp, windy sundown. This is something I first heard about several years ago:

(The Dreaded) Bicycle Face.

Said to be most dangerous for women, bicycle face was described in the following way by the Literary Digest in 1895: "Over-exertion, the upright position on the wheel, and the unconscious effort to maintain one's balance tend to produce a wearied and exhausted 'bicycle face." (This condition shows up as): "usually flushed, but sometimes pale, often with lips more or less drawn, and the beginning of dark shadows under the eyes, and always with an expression of weariness." Elsewhere, others said the condition was "characterized by a hard, clenched jaw and bulging eyes."

(Information in the previous paragraph drawn from the linked article.

Inspiration drawn from my wild but fascinating brain and the way it freely associates and remembers things.)

A truly terrifying medical condition.

I am a lifelong baseball fan who has lived in Japan for almost 20 years, and who would have never moved here if it weren't for the exploits of Ichiro Suzuki for my Seattle Mariners back in the early 2000s.

As a result, I very much understand how valuable Shohei Ohtani is. He's done something no one in Major League Baseball has ever really done before---excelling in batting and hitting at the same time---and he does this with style and grace, making it almost impossible to dislike him. In addition, one of the things about Ohtani that has surprised me is how he has increased interest in baseball here among people who are in their 70s and who never cared about the sport before.

So yes, absolutely, I get it---he's a true unicorn and he was going to get paid a lot of money, even after injuring his arm so that he can't pitch at all in the 2024 season.

Having said that---and this is not some sort of fresh, hot take coming---the $700 million, 10-year contract is absurd. I could focus on why I think it's not a wise baseball investment, how it's going to likely drive up prices for Dodgers fans even more (and baseball as a whole), but on a deeper level, I believe it reflects just how completely out of touch our financial system is with actual reality, and it suggests yet another strong sign that we are in late-stage capitalism and while it appears to be functioning, it's really on life support.

There's just so much wrong with a system that pays people such obscene amounts of money while hundreds of millions go without adequate food and shelter. I don't care what the job is--even if Ohtani was being paid to deliver milk to blind, legless kitty orphans, lol---it would be way too much to give to an individual, but the fact that we pay people these sums to play sports is like a flashing red light over our civilization, "STOP!"

What can the average sports fan do if they like I do, but they still want to follow the games? How about financially boycotting the sport for a period of time? Could you do it for a season? Give up paying for cable packages to watch your team, give up going to the stadium, give up buying jerseys and paraphenelia.

I've done this for about five years now and I'm still able to watch any game I want. It's not really that hard if you put your mind to it.

Anyway, I'm curious what others think, especially if you are a baseball fan and want to remain one.

PS While I had hopes Ohtani would become a Mariner, with that price tag, I'm glad he's not. I just think that the Dodgers are more likely than not to end up regretting it in a few years, just as the Angels did with Albert Pujols.

06/12/2023

It’s very hard for me to watch this video because I lost long-term relationships due to this awful, hurtful, untrue media propaganda campaign which turned the war on CV19 into a war on the unvaccinated.

However, as a person who is naturally skilled at noticing patterns in media and who studied journalism, it’s important that we don’t let this propaganda campaign get memory holed.

I’d especially suggest those of you who were either among the people who got caught up in this propaganda and began to demonize the unvaccinated to watch this, because we’ve simply got to start treating each other with more care and because we’ve got to increase our media awareness so we don’t get sucked into such hurtful behavior.

Also, for those of you who seem to think inhumane authoritarianism can only come from Trump/“the Right”, I’d hope watching this video can help you see how it also has an expression from Biden/“the Left.”

It's time for that lion in each of us to shine, to cool cat walk onto the stage and soak up the spotlight so that we can generously give our Spirit to the world, yes, folks it's Leo Season.

In this episode, the 11th of 12 in the series on the astrological signs of the Zodiac, we'll begin with our usual run-through of the archetype of Leo, interrupt the chat with tunes from some of our amazing sun sign Leo musicians, have a chat on the park bench about the need to embody this Leo archetype as our world enters the Age of Aquarius before rounding out the show with some more music.

We'll do all of this with assists from Judy Hall's "The Astrology Bible," my teacher Kaypacha and astrologers Monika Bravo, Christopher Renstrom and Rick Levine. Enjoy the show!

Ep 41: "B is for Bringing It Back Home to Cancer Season (The Cancer Season Podcast)

This episode looks at the archetype of the astrological sign of Cancer. As always, I'll do about a 20-minute dive into the archetype, referencing works from astrologers who I've been learning from while adding my own insights, and we'll play some tunes that embody the archetype of Cancer by musicians born during Cancer Season.

In addition, today I'll give a behind-the-scenes look at how I choose the songs for this episode and take a brief trip down memory lane where I wax nostalgic about seeing one of our highlighted bands back when they were at the peak of their powers in the late 1990s. Enjoy the show!

Ep. 40: P is for Feeling Groovy in Gemini Season

Time to lighten up, everyone, it's Gemini Season! And unlike Ta**us, which has a bit of a lazy nature, Gemini's a bit more of a go-getter so I'm putting this podcast out within one day of the sun entering Gemini so you'll have all month to ponder this wonderful astrological archetype.

Some of the things I cover are: the humor of Gemini, how Gemini connects to ages 3-7 and thus encourages playful, courageous, beginner's mind, what animals I most associate it with, a deeper dive into the much-maligned and unappreciated Mercury Retrograde (which we are currently in) with two famous musicians, one a first-timer on the show (and a Gemini) and the other an old friend whose superpowers are getting even more scary, and, of course some tunes from some Geminis.
