I’ve got a note from a previous blog to remind me of the exact conjunction of Quaoar and Pholus which is 8/2/2023 at 9 degrees Capricorn but you indicate this cycle will be initiated soon in February. As it is such a crucial cycle, I would dearly love if you could show us the chronological events relating to this cycle into the future and what we might expect accordingly through to the “Real Action” you indicate.
Namaste

I hear you! Astrology is a game of always refining your estimates. Even the online software seems to use slightly different formulae for different levels of precision, as I often get slightly different answers in a by-minutes retrieval, than I get in a by-days or by-hours retrieval. I too was thinking that the actual Initiation wasn’t till 2023, till I looked it up again for 2022, perhaps with finer resolution than I had looked before, or perhaps I just misread the tables earlier, which is easy to do.
Or maybe Mother Gaia moved the date up and had her Friends in the publishing industry adjust all the emphemerides (and then getting their minds wiped or course) because Huperity wasn’t Paying enough Attention. Free Will works both ways.
I usually dial up years, then months, then hours, then minutes, and by then I often need to use “decimal degrees” because slower planets move less than an arcsecond per minute, so they might be in the same [Degree : arcminute : arcsecond] for hours and sometimes even days.
Here’s the ephemeris by minute for the 2022 Initiation… http://www.true-node.com/eph1/?inputNumber=pholus%2Cquaoar&day=22&month=2&year=2022&time=03&zone=GMT+0&interval_num=1&interval=minute&lines=6&.submit=Get+Ephemeris&calendar=Gregorian&zodiac=Tropical&origin=Geocentric&lighttime=Apparent&clock=Universal+Time&zodsec=Decimal+Degrees&longitude=on .
And the ephemeris by month for the next 40 years at… http://www.true-node.com/eph1/?inputNumber=pholus%2Cquaoar&day=1&month=1&year=2013&time=00&zone=GMT+0&interval_num=1&interval=month&lines=800&.submit=Get+Ephemeris&calendar=Gregorian&zodiac=Tropical&origin=Geocentric&lighttime=Apparent&clock=Universal+Time&zodsec=D%B0M%27S&longitude=on&distance=on&speed=on .
If you use True-Node much, I recommend that you send donations in US$ to Jonathan Dunn at 1977ub<at>gmail<dot>com, and while you’re at it, ask him to please get a certificate to shift True-Node from http: to https: to increase security. Once I get a date and UT (Universal Time, the Time that was formerly known as GMT or Greenwich Meridian Time) from True-Node, I use Serennu to get the locations of other planets near the same Degree… https://serennu.com/astrology/ephemeris.php?inday=22&inmonth=2&inyear=2022&inhours=3&inmins=15&insecs=00&insort=deg30&z=t&gh=g&addobj=638%2C514107%2C490%2C259.249521%2C2320%2C12927%2C158&inla=&inlo=&h=P . Again, if you use Serennu much, I recommend that you send donations to Serennu at serennu<dot>com in UK£. Note that the Exact Conjunction occurs at 3:02 UT in True-Node, and 3:15 in Serennu – we’re always working with Approximations, or something like that.
The beginning of the New Quaoar-Pholus Cycle is a Looong process. Compare the Longitude of the Pholus RX Station each year, to the Longitude of Quaoar on the same date – it’s 421 years before their Separating Conjunctions are more than three Degrees apart!2 In other words, this struggle will be going on for Generations. One scienterrific Perspective is that if Huperity ever gets a handle on the CO2 Cycle, it will discover that the H2O Cycle is many times as powerful as the CO2 Cycle at heating the atmosphere…
- 1 Probably a “coincidence,” but a bow and Namaste to Douglas Adams anyway.
- 2 That is, beyond our usual Sensitivity or “Orb.” Pholus, a Centaur (ie Orbit is Elliptical), is near Aphelion (far out), while Quaoar, a Cubewano, is near Perihelion (close in). A planet is called a “Centaur” if it has an elongated orbit between Pluto and Jupiter, and may be a (temporarily) captured Comet. Pholus’s Elliptical Orbit is 92 years, running between 9 and 32 AU (An “AU” or “Astronomical Unit” is equal to the distance between the Earth and the Sun). A “Cubewano” is a Trans-Neptunian minor planet (“TNO” or Trans-Neptunian “Object”) out beyond Pluto, whose Orbit is not pushed around by Neptune’s Gravitational Forces. Quaoar’s Orbit is 289 years, and fairly round, between 42 and 46 AU.
My Experience is that the First Exact Conjunction3 of a Cycle sees the Unexpected Event that really gets our Attention and that seems at the time to be an Intractable Problem – this is the Initiation of the New Cycle. I’ve never seen prior almost-Conjunctions have a heck of a lot of time-specific impact, though on the scale of years we’ve certainly seen the typical pre-Initiation clamor arise against the “Blah..Blah..Blah” of the Old-Cycle Defenders. The subsequent Conjunctions, of which there can be many, half of which are Retrograde, explicate the Problem and allow us to get a Handle on it, if we’re Focused on the New Cycle and willing to do the Grunt Work behind the scenes till the Waxing Square. Most people will be Focused on trying to Protect their Investments in the Old Cycle and Greenwashing it.
- 3 As opposed to prior, “Applying” Almost-Exact Conjunctions, and subsequent “Separating” Exact Conjunctions when they repeat. In the case of any Transiting (Current) Hard Angles that repeat, the First Exact one is the “Can-Opener” of the sequence. Note that “Applying” and “Separating” apply to individual Angles, while “Waxing” and “Waning” apply to Cycles. An “Inexact” Angle is one that’s within Sensitivity or Orb, but which doesn’t actually Consummate.
This suggests that the 21 February Initiation will Surprise us. Maybe suddenly everyone will realize that we need to Reanimate Nature before we can Change anything…
Those kinds of sudden Unimagined Mass Psychic Shifts do happen. Ursula Leguin describes it pretty well in her short book The Lathe of Heaven. Maybe the Oil and Coal Industries will Collapse or Capitulate, Mansion and Cinema will newly Discover their lost shards of Huperity amidst their vast Avarice, and all of them will Learn to Install or Manage Solar Panels and Windmills and get down to Work. Maybe One of those new solid-electrolyte Batteries that last 100 hours and 500 miles on a charge, recharge in five minutes, and don’t Explode, will hit the market and suddenly everyone will be on the same page. Or maybe the Shinolavirus Omega Deviant will scare the BlahBlahBlah out of everybody. Mother N has already sent us a preview of what could happen, and the Perp wasn’t even the North Koreans (see https://spaceweather.com/archive.php?view=1&day=15&month=01&year=2022)…
A Pleasant or Very Shocking Surprise might create an instant version of that “well-established culture” that everyone “accepts unreservedly” and causes not just the Incarcerated Birds, but everyone, to sing Joyously…
Everyone except the Power-Hungry Narcissist Fear-Peddlers of course. Or maybe we’ll discover that Global Climate Change, the Shinolavirus, Imperialism, Supply Chains, Inflation, Hypersonic Missiles, the Landings, Misinformation, and Toilet Paper weren’t really the Problem all along, only the peripheral symptoms of the Real Problem.
