Transcending Astrology

Does David Wilcock actually believe the stuff he spews? Let’s try to find out.

With a Cancer Moon, I am very protective of my mother. I feel like our roles switched at some point when I was about 7 or 8. It’s not something I can just shut off, either. If I could take care of my entire family, extended and everyone, I totally would.

I think I would take care of the entire world, now that I think about it. The instinct is there but that doesn’t mean it’s healthy or the right thing to do, or even smart. Plus, my Capricorn would be like, “Bitch, what are you doing?”

So, when my mother is all up in David Wilcock’s mind-space last week, digesting his words and thoughts as though they were indisputable Truth, I decided to have a look at the man’s birth chart and catch up on what he was getting into.

Ancient Aliens was a show I could not get enough of! I thought it was absolutely fascinating, and David seemed highly knowledgeable on the subject. I blazed through the series on Netflix when I was down and out in LA, huddled in the covers on my inflatable mattress in the dark. To this day, I wonder if aliens gave humans astrology. I don’t understand how else ancient people would figure this stuff out but I am certainly open to learning.

Looking back on that time in my life, I see how susceptible I was to the information on Ancient Aliens. It was 2012. Neptune, the Great Dissolver, had just fully ingressed into Pisces, entering my first whole-sign house. It was aspecting a major arm in my chart, including two of my personal planets. The show enraptured me. My brain was a neverending sponge, eternally parched, overturning stones for ancient jewels. I knew what was going on in my chart but I still couldn’t help the captivation. What I was able to do, was keep my mental space somewhat objective, understanding that the show wasn’t necessarily true just because I was hooked. That wasn’t a good enough excuse for me but it didn’t stop me from indulging in the whirlwind ideas on my own time and loving every second of it.

Neptune is incredibly strong in Pisces. Steven Forrest said Neptune in Pisces is basically a strong Neptune transit for everyone, whether it impacts their charts or not. He’s right. Conspiracy theories have entrenched our everyday lives. The lines of truth are iffy. People don’t trust anyone, not the media, not even science. People are way more willing to believe whatever validates their feelings, and this could not be more Neptunian. Even people who are generally positive are sucked into the trap, believing wholeheartedly that if they just think they’re happy or think good things will happen to them, that it will all be true. Some people are tuned out indefinitely, obsessed with stardom or fame.

I’m not here to knock anybody’s beliefs. I am well aware that the media has bias, some more so than others. And if you don’t think you’re good enough at something, you probably won’t be. But the key is balance. It’s not healthy to only listen to people who agree with you, even if it feels right. And you meditating about your success one day is not what’s going to create that success.

Saturn always wins. Saturn is our current reality and it’s the world we live in. We are all governed by the natural laws of Saturn and there is no escaping it. Beliefs are important but Neptune can only get us so far. We need balance, discipline, hard work, and the ability to negotiate with others, to strike a middle ground. You can’t be truly successful in life by leaning on any one thing, whether it’s a person, place, or a belief. You have to use it all.

I would like to use this space to point out that Steven Forrest suggests that Neptune is actually our true reality, which we are still learning. This is to say that quantum physics is showing us that the world is full of possibilities.

There’s a very good chance that is closer to the truth but we aren’t quite there yet as a species. One day, humans will probably be able to control the Neptunian realm but that is not the case at the time of my writing this. Moving on…

After Neptune’s hold on me had passed, I didn’t care as much about Ancient Aliens or the information therein. It started to seem ridiculous to me. The show became more and more like a caricature of itself as the seasons went on. Perhaps my high had subsided. With the rest of the cast, David Wilcock left my thoughts completely. Until now.

My mother sent me a recent video of his, about how he had “inside knowledge” that the internet was going dark for three days. Within the first five minutes of watching, it became clear to me that something wasn’t right. David started talking about Q and the “deep state” and Trump.

For those who don’t know, there are people in the world that believe a user called Q on some website is someone (or multiple people) in the government working against the evil deep state. They believe Trump is the savior of America, how he’s working to arrest and take down the satanic child-rapist elites who want to depopulate the earth, perhaps with contaminated vaccines. I guess they have to shut the internet down in order to arrest these people? You can read about it elsewhere, if you are so inclined, but the whole conspiracy theory seems to be a rolled-up combination of older conspiracy theories that have lasted throughout the years and current troubles/anxieties (human trafficking, vaccines).

But, of course, the evil-doers are all democrats and liberals. This is how I know something is off and that it’s an agenda: it’s one-sided. I am not a fan of politicians by any means but don’t people understand that it’s never one side that is all bad?

I know there are elites who control the world’s money. I know there are people that do disgusting things to others. I know human trafficking is a massive issue. But the people who believe in Q would call me blind and a sheep because I question their logic or don’t agree with them. And that would be irony on another level because I have been a contrarian my entire life. I have been living on the outskirts of the “system” since I was a legal adult.

So, I play the video and David Wilcock is obviously balls-deep in all of these QAnon theories. He is apparently connected to people in top levels of government and intelligence. Wilcock sounds composed and knowledgeable. It sounds like he really believes what he’s saying but I get the hunch he’s got an angle somewhere. His video is a live chat and people are sending him money through it. David mentions there are 29,000 people watching his video. Moments later, it’s 30,000.

Curious, I visit his website and look over his blog. He still discusses aliens but he also believes in Pizzagate and there is a shit-ton of different information bundled together. It looks a bit scattered to me. This big arrest of the elites he keeps talking about in his video, otherwise known as “disclosure,” has been a recurrent theme in his blog posts as well. The arrests are always imminently around the corner, as far back as 2017 (that’s when I stopped reading). For over three solid years, Trump was just about to finally bring down the deep state, according to David’s blog. He’s still talking about it. Apparently, it’s happening soon.

Now, I don’t know if the internet will go down for three days or not. I do not know whether these conspiracy theories are true or not. However, the story seems highly unlikely and there’s a ton of logical fallacy throughout it, as well as bias. Regardless of me not knowing anything else, there is one thing I do know: if any of this conspiracy theory is true, it wouldn’t just be liberals and democrats as the evils. It would be people from every spectrum of the political aisle. Evil knows no sides.

I also can’t help but wonder: if these evil elites are so powerful and wealthy, why don’t they just take over the world already? What exactly are they waiting for? Bill Gates, Warren Buffett, the royal families, George Soros, Oprah, (don’t forget Hillary!), and all the others have way more combined wealth than any country on earth. They could easily take over and fix the world however they wanted to, so what is holding them back?

Literally, as I type this, David says in his video that the “alliance” doesn’t actually have a lot of money.

So, they’re fake wealthy? They’re fake powerful? But they eat children without any legal repercussions? I do not understand this shit at all. It makes zero sense to me. It seems a very sad, cynical view of the world. The very valid truth that our society is rigged against the little guys has gotten a Neptunian-Jupiter bomb attached to it. God help us all.

David’s Astrology

OK, enough of that. Let’s get into David’s chart. I am really curious whether this man believes this stuff or not.

Mars with the North Node

The first thing that jumps out at me in the Mars conjunct the North Node in Capricorn, 2nd house and the more I look at it, the more it says to me. Mars in Capricorn is quite strong and needs a lot of direction, a goal, to be fully expressed. Capricorn without a goal is a very sad thing indeed. Mars in the sign is someone who can commit to something and put in long, arduous hours to see its completion. It’s a healthy placement.

The North Node represents the direction of our soul’s purpose and it usually causes at least some problems before the age of 30. The North Node often represents an area of life that we fear when we’re growing up. Being in Capricorn, the sign of government, industry, power, and big business, it’s interesting to think that David might fear these entities. And yet, the energy of the North Node gets integrated into our lives over time.

David has probably gotten a lot more organized and goal-oriented as he grew into adulthood. The Mars gives him that drive but also can twist the energy a bit, so that he may have feared his own ambitions at one point, or feared his own anger. Perhaps he has or had a bad temper. This aspect gives David a bit of restlessness, even in Capricorn. It could also be why he views himself as a warrior, leading humanity to triumph over evil in the world. More on this later.

David needs to be a leader for something, charging ahead for a cause. Mars conjunct the North Node often reveals a childhood marked by suppressed will, a meek child, afraid to lean on himself. David probably crossed paths with people who were Mars-like, perhaps showing him how to trust himself more, guiding him. Mars is our will and sense of independence. Growing up, David likely struggled with these issues and may now overexert his will as an adult as he grew into the energy. He definitely came across as someone with an ax to grind on Ancient Aliens. Watching the show, I remember thinking, “This guy thinks we’re all stupid for not getting it.” Sure, it could just be how he comes across, but even then, his chart ruler is Mars and it’s conjunct the North Node, so we’re back full circle.

Another thing about Mars being with the North Node is it can signify someone who may not have experienced his or her father or father figure in a particularly healthy way. I have no idea what David’s childhood was like, but there could have been a serious disconnect with his father (or father figure). Other things in the chart support this. Mars with the North Node can signify someone who was painfully separated from healthy masculinity in youth.

South Node in Cancer

Having the South Node in Cancer also reinforces this idea: David came into this world feeling more comfortable with the feminine, with his mother, with the nurturer within him. It took time for him to get himself out into the world and to develop enough vision and enough confidence to reach for his goals. Learning to push his will out into the world is what his soul is currently working on in this life, and he seems to have gone in that direction up to a certain point.

South Node in the 8th

Having the South Node in the 8th house is not easy. The 8th house is highly psychological, prone to conspiratorial thinking and musing. It’s the house of secrets. And this is what David’s soul feels at home in! His soul is no stranger to crisis energy or highly charged situations. He came into this world with gifts for seeing the dark side of human existence. He feels comfortable with this material, not necessarily with the material itself but comfortable within the searching through it all.

But David is supposed to move away from all of that. We’re all supposed to move away from our South Nodes. It’s how we grow as people, as souls, but it can be difficult. Not everyone is successful with their nodes. I fear David isn’t doing himself any favors with the path he is on. 8th house is crises… heartbreak. It’s a house that involves other people: betrayal, distrust. There are of course good things about that house, like research and psychological knowledge and deep healing, but there’s a lot of darker energy there, too.

If I were to counsel David, I would tell him to stay in the real world as much as possible and to be more skeptical. Stick to the healthier themes of the 8th house, like healing and the mind-body connection. Instead, he’s found a career in paranoia and fear. Although occult (8th) and full of darker energies, David’s foray into Ancient Alien theory wasn’t overtly destructive, though I’m sure it could’ve gone that way. But the Q stuff? That is just opening the front door to crazy and inviting it in.

In my opinion, David is dipping his toes into stuff that could fulfill one more “promise” of the Mars with North Node aspect – violence. I would look him squarely in the face and tell him to drop it, the whole thing. Stick to yoga, stick to healthy food, stick to meditation! Stick to aliens even! But the rest of his chart suggests David may be more guided by his emotions, particularly the ones that keep him on the hunt for the next thrill in uncovering secrets.

David is leaning into his South Node too much and he’s overly exerting his North Node. It’s not a healthy balance. It may be balanced in the sense of using both energies but it’s 100% unhealthy. Think about it: he works (Cap) and stays in his home (Cancer) (at least during his nodal return) releasing these conspiracy theory (8th) videos publicly (Cap) as a source of income (2nd). In his videos, he talks about not leaving his house and people being after him. Not good.

Neptune in the 1st House

Neptune – the planet of illusion, delusion, fantasy, spirituality, daydreams, candy, and frolicking through the fog of war is incredibly powerful in David’s chart and I am not surprised at all. The 1st house has to do with the body, the lens through which we see the world. It is safe to say that David is highly Neptunian. He’s porous, fluid, shape-shifting, idealistic, driven by beliefs, by ultimate beauty and harmony. David is shaped by compassion.

It makes me a little sad, to be honest. Neptune is the planet of suffering. People with strong Neptunes literally feel the pain of the world. It’s on their shoulders and they can’t escape it, as much as they may try.

Although in the 2nd sign from the ascendant, David’s Neptune is in the Placidus 1st house. We can read this Neptune as being in both houses! I love that shit! It makes my readings twice as time-consuming. So, here we go: not only does David see the world through Neptune, but he gets his self-confidence from all things Neptunian. He values Neptune.

This is all well and good, until it is not.

Again, I would advise him to stop with the Q shit and to please stick to healthy incarnations of Neptune. He does NOT want to see the end of a bad Neptune story. Again, suffering. Pain. Confusion. Delusion. Total failure. Emptiness. Poverty. Twisted. Not that fun.

T-Square with Sun, Venus, Saturn, & Neptune

And how about that T-square, anyone? Any square from Neptune to a personal planet in the birth chart is not easy, my friends. The human imagination is a powerful, nebulous force. It seems real. It feels real. It is hard to recognize the truth when the fantasy feels way more real than the truth ever could. But, beware the fog. It is beautiful but it is blinding.

In astrology, squares are areas of tension. It’s an aspect of crisis and if found in a natal chart, it will be difficult for the native to integrate the energies. Therefore, the energies clash and the native often loses balance of each planet. The planets involved in a square tend to undermine one another. I always think of squares like an unfair fight. Think of the opposition – it still needs balance but at least the two planets are facing each other. It’s a fair fight. The square has an unfair quality to it, as though the planets sneak up on each other from time to time. Sneak attacks. It takes maturity and a whole lotta lessons to work through natal squares. It’s not impossible but it does take conscious reflection.

It is when we are conscious that we can get out of our own way.

Now, a T-square is made of two squares and an opposition. That’s like a brawl! Unlike the Grand Cross (or Grand Square), T-squares are inherently unbalanced. Think of the Grand Cross that has energy zooming from one planet to the next, moving around the chart, propelling itself forward, each planet driving the next. Are there crises? Of course. But is it balanced? Yes. No one energy really takes over. Grand Crosses complete themselves, like 4 spokes to a wheel that keeps moving.

I must mention that T-squares, or any squares, are not always negative – chart patterns are neutral. Having any particular chart pattern doesn’t tell me how the person uses it. The key to remember is that energy will use YOU unless you use the energy! This goes for absolutely anything in any chart. The person must decide to consciously use his or her chart to her benefit.

So, T-squares lack balance. They are Grand Crosses that are missing the 4th spoke. They can never really get moving as smoothly because they’re too heavy on one end (the focal planet).

It’s crucial to keep in mind that T-squares can be mitigated by implementing the energy of the sign opposing the focal point. That is one hell of a sentence for some of you still learning, so I will come back to this.

Let’s break this T-square down.

Neptune & Venus

Neptune making a square to Venus usually has to do with fantasies in relationships, and lots of confusion and betrayal in love. Love is not my focus here but it is still important because Venus rules relating to others in general. With this aspect, David tends to have a skewed ideal when it comes to who he relates to and how. Venus rules his 7th and 11th houses, and let’s say the 12th as well because Libra is 12 signs from the ascendant.

The 7th house is the house of the other. It’s the people we do business with and partner up with. The 11th house is the house of our peers and our community. The groups we belong to, friends. The 12th is the house of the subconscious and self-undoing. This means that Neptune is going to create big problems for David in all of these areas. It basically covers all of his contacts, personal and otherwise, and this is very precarious for someone in his line of work where trust is absolutely huge. Again, if I were counseling him, I would tell him to find a safer avenue for generating income and to be more independent. To trust himself more (Mars conjunct North Node).

David probably has a lot of issues with the people he meets. He could unknowingly be surrounded by people who do not have his best interests at heart. Betrayal, confusion, delusion, you name it. David’s Venus is in Pisces. This is a wonderful position for Venus. Venus here is selfless and giving, and very trusting. Pisces is the end of duality, where we become one with the world around us. Venus in Pisces is unity consciousness. For the most part, David would be attracted to people who were spiritual, creative, unique, giving, helpful, etc. Likewise, David is very selfless in his friendships and business ventures with others. He really cares about people and would do whatever he could for them.

This placement of Venus, squaring Neptune would almost, and I hate to say it, make David a mark. Being so trusting and really empathizing with the people he connects to, it’s easy for David to get sucked into another person’s drama. Their drama becomes his drama, their problems become his problems. He may try to stick up for his friends often, but what’s upsetting to me is that it is rare that those same friends stick up for David when the tables are turned. Sure, he could have one or two solid contacts, but I sense David has been taken advantage of multiple times in his life. Especially in business, where the waters are shark-infested.

The square to Neptune sets David up for the possibility that his friends are in their own fantasy worlds. He may deal with a lot of people who are suffering or delusional. It makes him sacrifice so much for them while they lie, cheat, and steal from him. Does this mean all of his intimate partnerships are like this? Kind of, at least until David learns to have boundaries. I’m sure he’s learned a lot in his life, but I don’t think it’s enough.

David must learn to say no to people. He cannot bring just anyone into his personal sphere. With a Scorpio ascendant, there’s a good chance he’s a very private person. But, ascendants are signs we learn as we go along in life. The energy doesn’t come super naturally. We are learning how to be our ascendants. So, hopefully David has learned to watch his back with people, because the potential for him to become involved in bad business deals and dysfunctional relationships is quite high.

Now, Venus is separating in its aspect with Neptune, so that is a bit of a bonus but it’s still difficult. It’s closer to Saturn. He may not often see the issue with his contacts until it’s too late. David Wilcock has been burned by many and, when you work and deal with the types of people he surely does, it’s just plain dangerous. I honestly feel bad for the guy.

Saturn & Venus

Now, let’s add Saturn into the mix, which just makes everything better, doesn’t it? Venus making a square to Saturn is difficult. Not only does it make one feel unlovable but it can bring people to us that make us feel that way, especially when younger. It perpetuates itself. This is a mark of karmic relationships and friendships that leave one feeling depleted and empty. And the Neptune involvement makes this more painful for David. He wants so badly to have a true spiritual connection with someone.

Put it all together and we have relationships, friendships, and business contacts that are karmic and potentially delusional. Venus also has to do with money. David may often find it difficult to make a steady income. This T-square also denotes someone who may make money through illicit means. I’m not suggesting David is a criminal, but he does happen to make money selling these wild fantasies to people. The money he makes comes from negative sources and the negativity will someday feed back into itself.

David should strive to earn a living through healing and spirituality – healthy Neptune & 8th house stuff. He should never try to gain more than he needs because both Saturn and Neptune will strip him bare if he doesn’t. Also, Neptune being in the 2nd sign from the ascendant makes me think that money is constantly slipping through David’s fingertips. Taurus on the 7th cusp can be looked at as someone who gains from the people they marry – a partner whose income is more steady. Hopefully, David has this in his life because the T-square here can easily wreck things for him.

Saturn & Neptune

Saturn and Neptune are opposites in many ways. Saturn is reality, solid, definite. Neptune is amorphous, magical, and infinite. When we put these two in opposition to one another, there’s a battle going on between what’s real and what’s fantasy. David may find it difficult to separate truth from fiction. And, since it’s in a T-square, with the focal planet being Venus (and the Sun, more below), Venus is the way out of the battle. Simply put: David looks to other people to validate his reality, his truth. He still battles with full autonomy.

But the fantasy of Neptune feels so real to him that it’s probably going to take a lot to bring him down from that high. This way of looking at the world is so deeply ingrained in him.

Add the Sun

David’s T-square also includes his Sun. For the Sun, I give a much wider orb, about 10-15 degrees. The Sun is absolutely massive and people will feel aspects to it that look to be too far away to untrained eyes. Even though his Sun is at 18 Pisces and his Neptune is at 7 Sagittarius, I would call that an easy square, even though it’s separating. The Sun here just adds to the problems because it ties his identity and life path to all the issues mentioned above. You could say his path is one of suffering, a constant battle, but it doesn’t have to be this way! If David focused more on a spiritual path or a path of helping those who are suffering, he could siphon this negativity away from his own life and prosper.

What’s so sad to me is that David seems like a really nice guy so far. He’s a selfless person, willing to give his time and energy for what he perceives as a just cause. But selfless people need to learn how to protect themselves.

This is what I try to instill in others.

The Ghost Point

To the best of my knowledge, studying astrology for about 17 years now, I have never heard anyone use this term. So, I am christening it MY term – it is NOT a mainstream astrology term! Repeat this term at your own risk! Or, blame me. Because I am calling this next point in the T-square the Ghost Point, or the Ghost Leg. It sounds cool to me so I’m going for it.

Remember how I mentioned above that T-squares are like Grand Crosses that fall flat because all the weight goes to the focal planet? Well, it is often said that using the sign opposite the focal planet in a T-square does a lot to aid in balancing out the energy therein.

In David’s case, the focal planet of his T-square is Venus in Pisces. It could also be his Pisces Sun. Either way, Virgo becomes the sign that the Ghost Point falls in. By using Virgoan traits, David can help himself out.

Virgo is a brilliant earth sign. Virgo seeks perfection, purity, and has tremendous powers of discernment. If David could learn to be more objective, more grounded, more logic-driven, he could get himself out of the mess he’s in.

At the moment, David’s midheaven (MC) in Virgo could be the actual Ghost Point (and then it wouldn’t really be a ghost at all). David could use his Virgoan talents in his work to organize a wellness community of some sort. I’m just throwing some ideas out there. Instead, he uses his Virgo to aid his conspiracy theories. He uses his Virgo to create very detail-oriented catalogs of “evidence” that his theories are true. But they make no sense to me.

Either way, his Virgo MC is being used to combat the tension of the T-square!

Looking over his blog, I couldn’t find anything that stood out to me as the “smoking gun” for any of the theories. For one, he finds a copy of a search warrant for Anthony Weiner’s laptop. Anthony Weiner’s wife, Huma, worked on Hillary’s campaign. Anthony Weiner had sent some obscene texts to his mistress, if I’m not mistaken, and his laptop was confiscated.

Here’s the search warrant as it is on David’s blog post. Any colored writing is mine.

Please read it. Please read the warrant. There is no damning evidence that I can find. David uses a lot of terms like “this appears” and “this suggests.” And anyone who uses Alex Jones, a well-known right-wing conspiracy theorist, as a source might want to rethink their approach.

And then to use a movie as proof?

David uses the 2009 movie, Sherlock Holmes, as evidence of the deep state’s satanic cult. Because the deep state satanists work in Hollywood.

I am well aware that Hollywood has, and has had, its fair share of despicable people (I unpack disgraced movie mogul Harvey Weinstein’s birth chart here for your reading pleasure) but I’m holding off judgment until I see way more evidence. Actual evidence. David tries to fill his blog with all sorts of “smoking gun evidence” but it just comes across as scattered information connected together through mere supposition and belief. It seems very unhealthy to me.

Even the language he uses reminds me of Neptune: “thinly disguised fiction” & “hide it out in the open.” Could, would, should, etc.

It’s time to look at David’s Mercury – his mind. David’s Virgo MC is ruled by his Mercury in Pisces. It’s retrograde and opposes Pluto.

David’s Mercury Pluto Opposition

So, to really see how someone’s mind works, we have to dissect their Mercury. David’s is retrograde and in the late degrees of Pisces. The decan of Scorpio, ruled by Mars and Pluto. His mind holds the energies of a cosmic hunter, seeking the truth no matter how scary. I kind of think that the scarier something is, the more comfortable David is with it. I’ve noticed that with some people – like they’re made for crises.

Retrograde can signify a deep thinker but it’s in detriment! Mercury in Pisces is not famous for details, facts, and logic. As a sign, I love Pisces, but it’s quite emotionally driven. Pisces feels strongly and everything it feels, it wants to be true. It’s a sign with a rich imagination.

Speaking of crises, let’s dissect that opposition to Pluto. That is mega huge. It’s wide and separating but still very much within orb to affect David’s life and his style of thinking. For a Mercury in Pisces, David’s mind is more probing, able to sift through a ton of information, connecting things that seem otherwise unrelated. This reminds me of his pages upon pages blog.

No matter the aspect, Mercury and Pluto contacts create the insatiable desire to get to the bottom of whatever is in its sight. The need to find out what’s really going on is an understatement. The Pisces energy gives him the ability to think very much outside of the box. There is no box for David’s mind.

But the opposition implies a battle. Normally, any aspect with Pluto will create energy that pushes to extremes. No matter the planets involved, if your oppositions are not balanced, they will wildly fly from one end to the next. Imagine what an opposition to Pluto can do! With Mercury, we have a mind that sees wrongdoing potentially everywhere. It’s always got a hunch that it’s being left outside the loop but it thinks it knows better, and it’s going to blow the loop apart.

Pluto doesn’t know how to do anything just a little bit. If Mercury is getting the signal that there’s a battle happening (opposition), then it will be seen as an all-out war. When David convinces himself of something, it’s hard for him to let it go. His Mercury is mutable and changeable, but Pluto is not. It’s in cardinal Libra, so it wants to strike out and start things, particularly having to do with people or gossip. Hearsay. Libra loves hearsay. Yes, it’s able to be objective, but Pluto? I don’t think so. Pluto is primal.

Being Plutonian

A Plutonian person is someone who has Pluto very strong in their charts. Being Plutonian is neither good nor bad. You can be Plutonian and be a die-hard humanitarian on the hunt to save the rainforests. You can also be a criminal, and usually a decent one at that. With Pluto, there is always some end game. A motive. A reason for doing what you are doing. The reason goes deep. It may be strictly to help humanity or it may be to feed the false ego. It may be a bit of both. The key with Pluto is to recognize what your motive really is and why you have it. It will control you otherwise.

I am still on the fence about whether David’s motives are pure or not, but him having this aspect makes me think he does not. After spending some time with his chart, it is quite possible he really does believe everything he is telling people. I mean, he’s been spewing this shit and living in the conspiracy theory world for years now. But this Mercury Pluto aspect tells me there is a good chance he may have an ulterior motivation.

Pluto can say a lot about a person’s needs, along with the Moon. David’s Moon is in Taurus, which is usually pretty grounded, but it answers to Venus and Venus is caught up in a dilemma. Moon in Taurus is definitely fond of money, wealth, comfort, luxury.

With Venus ruling his Pluto, his motive may be money or adoration, or both. I am going to refrain from making a definite call here because motive isn’t something I am comfortable judging, especially when there is a lot pointing to him actually believing this stuff. Especially now, with his transits (more down below).

Regardless of what I think, if David does not have pure motives, he will eventually be destroyed. That is a FACT. He may actually run into some trouble regardless of his motives. Saturn has a way of doing that.

Another thing: Mercury rules David’s 8th house and midheaven. You can’t make this stuff up. Midheaven is reputation, direction in life, and the 8th house is the house of hidden things. So David makes a career spreading information about the boogeyman.

Jupiter and Neptune rule his Mercury. We already looked at his Neptune, so let’s look at Jupiter.

Jupiter in Aquarius

Jupiter in Aquarius gets its juice by being different. David is a contrarian in both vision and philosophy. This position wants to help people. It can be very hopeful about society, no matter how dark things look in the present. David may be drawn to a utopian ideal of society and this optimistic inner vision is what he strives for. It’s why he does all that he does – to be part of the dawning of a new society.

The expansion of all things Aquarius is also why he’s gotten into alternative lifestyles, believing himself to be part of a revolutionary group. By finding something quite different to believe in and holding onto it for dear life, David feels purpose. But, the neverending vision of a breakthrough is just as important to him as an actual breakthrough. Living life this way can be a big let down.

Jupiter likes to expand energies to the max and can often accentuate the negative qualities of a sign, inflating them beyond ordinary measure. Restlessness. Hard to commit. Undisciplined, rebellious. Difficult to keep to one idea. Must prove independence. Hates being restrained, smothered. Jupiter often promises more than it delivers. This is why David can talk so much and so often about all these changes coming and how a revolution is upon us and yet delivers nothing.

Many of his fans/followers appear to be upset these days.

Or maybe it’s always been that way. Maybe he lets people down often. It’s the nature of his work.

Jupiter doesn’t really like the 3rd house, either. It tends to expand 3rd house things that one may not always appreciate, like things on the to-do list, short trips, being too involved with learning. Perhaps David even had to move a lot as a child, going to more than one elementary school. With such a visionary planet in the house of the mind, there is always something great around the corner.

But never now.

It’s not just his T-square that attracts unstable, karmic people to David. This Jupiter placement is also why David attracts strange people into his life. People on the fringes of society find their way to him. Kooky friends. Obviously, not everyone with Jupiter in Aquarius in the 3rd house will attract conspiracy theorists but they definitely have unique acquaintances.

With such a visionary mind, we must remember Aquarius has its downside too. David’s Jupiter is ruled by Saturn and Uranus. Saturn in Gemini is playing devil’s advocate, being led by a very troubled Mercury with Pluto. Saturn is also in another social house – the 7th. David just surrounds himself and does business with very talkative, counterculture people. This doesn’t have to be bad, but remember that Saturn is opposing Neptune, both in a square with Venus, another social planet. David may be trapped in a web of people who think very differently from the rest of the world. They’re disconnected from reality. This could be a good thing but I don’t think it is, at least at the time of writing this.

Uranus in Libra in the 11th but 12 signs from the ascendant makes me think David really wants to liberate his people but it’s ruled by his Venus, and well… it gets messy there. I feel bad for the man.

I think about his Mars, strong and with the North Node. I am honestly a little afraid for him. What’s going to happen to David?

Transits

The first thing I immediately notice is that transit Neptune is directly on top of David’s Sun in Pisces. You can’t make this shit up. I really don’t need to go any further. Not only is his chart HEAVILY with Neptune, but Neptune is currently sitting on his Sun. I am sorry to say that David is in a Neptunian fog. This makes me think he really believes everything he’s telling everyone. Either this, or he’s an incredible actor, or a spy (he’s not a spy). It’s way more likely that he believes what he’s saying. David is spun in a web of fantasy. It feels so real, but unfortunately, it’s probably not.

This past year, transit Jupiter and Saturn passed over David’s Capricorn Mars conjunct his North Node, activating all of those energies in his chart. He also recently had his Nodal Return. It’s been a very fated year for him. He’s really feeling like he’s on a mission to save the world from evil. Bless his Piscean heart.

Chiron and Lilith are also trine David’s Neptune and this will continue. There’s some healing going on with what he’s doing, like his info-webs are healing him in some way. You could also read it as he’s acting from a place of woundedness. This fantasy of his is borne out of a place of pain for David. Most likely, it’s probably both – coming from a hurt place and also healing for him.

The recent Mars Saturn conjunction at 0 Aquarius was basically right on his natal Jupiter. Saturn will stop just short of completing the aspect and won’t finally do so until January 2021. I fear for David when this happens. Saturn over Jupiter is not exactly fun. It’s cold, hard reality crashing your blissful vision-party and that can be soul-crushing. What’s even worse, David has his Jupiter Return just before Saturn hits it. That’s like blowing up a balloon just to stomp on it.

Progressions

To see if the transits are going to have a major effect on David, we look to his progressed chart.

His Progressed Sun is in an exact trine to his midheaven. He’s really focused on his work, on his purpose. He’s gaining attention.

Progressed Chiron is squaring his natal Mars. Again, there’s a theme of wounding and healing going on. His evolving wound – perhaps a wound that cannot heal – is creating tension with David’s sense of passion and drive. David feels he must carry out this mission.

What’s really interesting is that his Progressed Moon is almost conjunct his natal Jupiter. This is a major activation, and because Saturn and Jupiter will be transiting the same area early next year (January 2021). Perhaps David sees the real truth then? Perhaps he actually hits a breakthrough in his work, or realizes how foolish he’s been? I get the vibe that, no matter what, David may find out the real truth of what’s going on and it could be a major turning point for him.

Most importantly, Progressed Mars is square his ascendant. I am a little worried about this man’s safety. Knowing he’s already fairly paranoid, I feel a little better that he’s taking the proper precautions for his safety. What’s that old saying? Just because you’re paranoid, doesn’t mean they aren’t after you. David is likely taking all precautions for his safety. He may be on high alert right now – at least, I hope so. Because this is not safe. I don’t really like what he’s got himself wrapped up in but maybe he knows more than I do.

I see him in his video telling people that he has inside knowledge about this conspiracy and that “people are taking care of it.” He’s telling people they already beat the elites and ruined much of their evil plans. David is telling them the best work his followers can do is from their computers. He’s not promoting violence, he’s actually suppressing it. So, either he’s a genius or his subconscious is. I’m just concerned about his T-square and Mars on the nodal axis. He could easily be headed for violence, hatred against him, outbursts from the people he attracts. And the people he is attracting may not have it as together as he does. His Taurus Moon does make him a peaceful man, content with simple pleasures at home, but it’s in a trine with Mars. I still think he needs to focus more on peace and healing and meditation. That would be the healthiest path for him.

In all honesty, I set out to prove that David was taking people’s money and spreading fear-driven material for his own profit. He got my mother involved and I got super protective. Luckily, she understands none of it is real, but now I feel bad for the guy.

Then again, he is spreading some high-octane-level negativity.

May he soon see the light.
