Our current world predicament gives rise to thoughts of pointlessness and uselessness, the very definition of futility. These thoughts activate feelings of powerlessness, defeat and depression, simply a state of generalized being that says, “What’s the use?”

Astrologically, futility is represented by the Moon in Aquarius. The moon is purely feminine. It represents the subconscious mind. I have written extensively on the divine power of the subconscious mind, that which brings to life, or manifests, all the conditions of our material world based upon the words and suggestions that impress themselves upon it.

However, the subconscious mind also keeps the score. Although it never challenges the suggestions it receives, it is bound to maintain the balance of the universe. Just as the moon never deviates in its phases, as the tides rise and fall in perfect order, so balance in nature also insists upon being restored. The subconscious mind both grants our wishes but must ultimately play out the effects of those intentions, thus the subconscious mind is also the keeper and completer of karma.

The cosmic season of Kali Yuga that we are now in is the ultimate release of the karma of all that has been suppressed for centuries. That which has been repressed to achieve civilization, with all its discontents, is now being pervasively and perversely unleashed upon our current world. This is a cosmic cleansing in the wickedest and raunchiest of forms.

It is abundantly clear to me that the unlived karma of WWII, and its outcomes, is fervently being unleashed upon the greater world. Retribution, entitlement and tribalism are shattering the agreed upon boundaries of civilization, be they boundaries of state or boundaries of civilized discourse, and, most basically, the fundamental right to life.

The subconscious mind is also the warehouse of deep habit and entrenched belief. The current wave of destruction has been particularly focused upon the most prestigious universities and the laws of science itself.

For example, previously unquestioned agreement upon medical diagnosis and treatments is now being seriously questioned, or simply eliminated. Opinion has largely replaced fact, yet consideration of perspectives previously forbidden have been opened for consideration.

The current breakdown of world order is thus a confluence of factors that include the breakthrough of collectively suppressed emotions, the payment of karmic debts, and the destruction of the previously governing constructs of reason and reality.  We are in the midst of a cosmic menstruation that is clearing out the old with unbridled ferocity.

The jewel of this universal cleansing is in the ultimate rising of Aquarius, like a phoenix from the ashes of now. As an astrological sign that defies convention, Aquarius promises a new breed of detached objectivity that is dedicated to the greater good. This is a zeitgeist that issues from truth and wisdom, above and beyond the errors of prejudice and self-interest. This is reality built upon fact and true need versus bullied opinion and greed.

The Aquarian ego, with its dedication to truth and wisdom, advances beyond the rigid fixation upon self-importance, the ruling dominant of our time. Rather than seek fame, fortune, and unlimited attention as its central goal for manifestation in life, it trusts the energy of the intent for the greater good as its chief source of influence. When the teacher is ready, the student will come; no need to hire an influencer.

The Aquarian ego deepens its relationship with energetic reality, where abundance and unlimited supply exist to manifest all things. The Aquarian ego, in alignment with serving the Higher Self, utilizes its divine power of suggestion, in consort with the subconscious mind, to serve the greater good of all. The effect, or karma, of such an intent is positive karma that continuously renews itself to fulfill the world’s deepest and truest needs.

The jewel, for us all in this time of futility, is in the encounter with our own most deeply held beliefs and secrets, which have overshadowed the truth and caused us to manifest errors in our lives. With the fuller knowing of our true selves we are released from the false beliefs that have defined and constricted our lives, and we are able to move into greater alignment with the truth of our Higher Selves.

The energy of the moon provides us with the truth and effects of our hidden selves, as Aquarius rises to lead us in this greater truth. Futility is actually the energy of Spirit working its way into manifesting this greater New Age. Futility rarifies the jewel.

Keep your knowing focused on the greater truth of now.
