CHIRON'S RETURN: THE GREAT RE-TURNING CHALLENGE
(Not Just the Latest Fourth Turning!)

Part One of Two: Part One: Setting the Celestial & Terrestrial Stage for a Most Difficult Return
WHEN CHIRON RETURNS: ABOUT 50 50 AT ABOUT AGE 50:

"When a man turns fifty years old, only a part of his being has existed for half a century. The other part, which also lives in your Psyche, may be millions of years old." ---CARL JUNG
[Paraphrased:] "When a man or woman turns fifty years old, only a part of his or her has existed for half a Century. The other half, which also lives in Psyche, is Wise Centaur, ancient, yet timeless --- 'never was, but always is!'"
An Individual's Chiron Return Time is profoundly significant, related to one's own totally unique Soul's purpose. The Return Time: Often there are three returns within months, the middle of those being retrograde. That won't be addressed here, but be wary of astrologers (especially "online") droning on with clichéd whining about "wounds" and
"healing." If you do indulge any such astrologer, afterwards, expect an empty feeling accompanied by a less full wallet. Perhaps then, instead, spend a lot of that time with Nature, perhaps hospice with a burned out forest or beside a polluted river, lake, or ocean, or with an MRNA-jabbed creature, whether two-legged or four-legged. If you personally haven't yet made it to your own Chiron Return Time, or if you passed that time long ago, it is never too early or never to late to Soul relate with kindred Soul ("All Our Relations").
"I don't write until the stuff is really working on me..." - Joe Campbell
To my fellow astrologers, to therapists, coaches and would-be advisors, consider ((i.e., to be with the star(s))), avoiding hollow clichés. Instead, as Jung suggested:
"Know all the theories,
Master all the techniques,
But as you touch a human Soul,
Be just another human Soul."
Chiron himself "returns" in 2027 for ANIMA MUNDI's 50 50 Chance
What will the ancient solitary mythic "Defender of Nature" see for his homecoming next year? Chiron's expected 2027 mytho-astrological return is to find this four-legged descending the Rainbow Bridge from Skyland Taurus to Earthland Taurus, where, once again, Evil Despots have seized power, this time using the most deadly technology since the Atlantis Era.
About 29 years ago, astronomical Chiron was discovered and named. About ten years prior to that, "Mister MoJo Risin'" Chironically sang out an S.O.S. (Soul Outlook Scan) for our home planet. In the mid-1960s, Tech Titan Uranus (Prometheus the Thief) and Lord of Death Pluto tag-teamed repeatedly jumped Jim Morrison's Chiron at 15+ Virgo, while Square his Sun at 15+ Sag. While Chiron transited through empathetic, compassionate Pisces, Soulful Jim, poet-prophet extraordinaire, called them out:
What have they done to The Earth?!
What have they done to Our Fair Sister?
Ravaged and plundered and ripped Her and bit Her
Stuck Her with knives in the side of the dawn, and
Tied Her down!
I hear a very gentle sound,
With your ear down to the ground:
We want the World and we want it
Now.
Now?
Now!
Mythological Chiron, alone, took on a hoard of notorious rapists, who delighted in torture, murder and destruction of all that is animal, terrestrial and geological. The story goes that he succeeded in running them all off. Centuries later, in the very real (surreal) world, one young (albeit quite imperfect) guy, with his few musician friends backing him up, renewed the improbable defense of what should be that which is ultimately sacred. That guy is long dead (thanks to The Deep State). Meanwhile, "Our Fair Sister" is infinitely worse off now then when a misunderstood Soul tried to draw our attention to what should matter the most to all of us. The most important planet of all is the one under our feet, paws, hooves and fins --- far more important than the further and further away latest orbiting space debris of the month.
Just as the astrology of a person or a country remains vital years after that birth moment, so too do significant outer planetary conjunctions resonate long after their era of inception. The Sabian Symbol image for the exact degree of that Uranus and Pluto conjunction in Virgo (16+) is: "A Volcanic Eruption bringing dust clouds, flowing lava, Earth rumblings." Are you absolutely sure that the very recent volcanic activity and increased magnitude Earthquakes are entirely "natural"? Plutocrats with Technocracy intent can trigger weather and seismic activity. The relevant patents exist, along with some equally relevant unclassified government reports. Scoff incessantly now, if you will, but you just might be coughing incessantly soon.

Virgo: separating the wheat from the chaff. Tech-minded Plutocrats get themselves the "wheat", the rest of us are the chaff, getting the shaft. Tech Uranus: lab made "food" and additives. The Plutocrats' Club of Rome depopulation meetings approximately coincided with the Uranus Pluto conjunctions in Virgo: better dying through technology: Trust the Science! The technology to vastly and most efficiently literally execute their evil agenda did not exist in the mid-60s, but does now. The Age of Aquarius: The Age That Will Bury Us (Well, hopefully not all of us!) Remember that Uranus and Pluto are impersonal/collective planets: their domain is eminent, unless challenged by significant Square or Opposition.
Chemical-spill-haired WOKE astrologers fell for the psyop that insisted that the traditional astrology fertile Mutable Feminine Sign, Venus-ruled Pisces Age is somehow entirely Patriarchal, and that the traditional barren Masculine Baby-eater Saturn ruled Fixed Sign Aquarius won't be Patriarchal at all. The popularity of this misconception (abortion of the truth) began with the popularity of the song about The Age of Aquarius, with its most absurd inaccurate astrology lyrics. The group who sang the song was called The Fifth Dimension. Most know three dimensions; many know the fourth dimension as time. So what is the 5th dimension? Some now say that the 5th dimension is where inter-dimensional beings (demons?) come from and return to. Hmm. Whatever!

MEANWHILE, HERE IN THE FOURTH DIMENSION...
Without going into detail, presumably where we are at in time includes: "The Fourth Turning"; the end of the American Empire; The New World Order (here, or eminent): The New Order out of Chaos; leaving The Piscean Age for The Aquarian Age; Biblical End Times? Apocalypse etymology: the unveiling, revelation, as in The Book of Revelation's Four symbolic Horsemen.
Many people living on or near the Left Coast of the USA know that we are statistically due or overdue for major earthquake activity. Here and worldwide, many people also know that the increased odds of a Pole Shift happening sooner rather than later are being seriously considered by those in the know. Particularly in this Chinese Astrology year of The Fire Horse, we should expect, more than usual, big changes in a single year. (The last such year was 1966.)

However, there is more to be revealed, which reeks of a possible dystopian Aquarian Age. Before getting to that, though, understanding mythology and night dreams is important. Joseph Campbell wrote that "Myths are public dreams, dreams are private myths. Both are symbolic in the same general way." And: "In myth, the problems and solutions are directly valid for all mankind."
The best dream experts living and dead encourage a focus on dream's images, on mystery, on paradox, often rejecting one-to-one dogmatic definitiveness. (Smug Simple Smirker Sez: Your dream means this and only this. You are that one character in the dream, the good one, and the "bad" one in the dream is that person in waking life that you'd like to see eliminated.) It can be said that in dream, it is possible for everyone and even every thing to in some way be a part of the person who is dreaming. In dream, the "bad guy" might sometimes be "the good guy" and vice versa.
If you will, try to bring that less rigorous approach to the mythic material below. Instead of simply transposing mythic villainy onto "real" life individuals, with "black hats white hats and little hats" realize that were all together in the current astro-mythic years long collective nightmare myth. In the forthcoming Part Two, a different way to see and be with our shared dilemma will be proposed.
Reader Discretion is Advised: Your "Buttons" Might Be Pushed by the Following:
Many think that his or her religion, usually the one in which one was raise, is the one true religion, and that that one "true" religion is not a "myth" (meaning, in this sense, a lie), and no one else's so-called "religion" can be "true" in addition, or instead. By dramatic contrast, any and EVERY religion can be seen as a myth, that is, a collective "dream." This perspective is not atheistic, since atheism is literally a belief, itself--- a myth of a different sort.
The above preamble, applicable to many, is specifically important to keep in mind while considering a recent collective revelation. Imagine yourself as a very young child. Some adult(s) tells you a common dream, a dream that they were told as a child that before now, had been relayed for many generations prior. That common dream has different characters. People in "real" life argue, and even fight, even kill each other, insisting on a certain story, insisting on how their story not only justifies their atrocities, but sees those atrocities as pleasing to some invisible Deity or Deities. They will even tell you: "Child, it is written down in an ancient book, therefore you MUST believe!"
Astrologically, all outer planets, especially Neptune, are associated with whatever is believed or not believed to exist in realms invisible to the naked human eye. To try to understand more of what is going on at a particular time necessitates taking more than one astrological component into account. Neptune now in Aries is a critically important component to issues of religion now, but that factor alone is not the entire story.
BAAL

Maybe you knew about Baal from numerous mentions in the Hebrew Bible or "Old Testament." Maybe you first heard about Baal in 2015 or 2017 when Isis was in the news regarding destruction at an ancient partly ruined temple to Baal in Syria. Maybe you never heard of Baal (various spellings and pronunciations). Maybe, like me, you first heard it talked about as mentioned in a Jeffrey Epstein email released 1/30/2026, and/or in video of the public decimation of a Baal image in Iran 2/11/2026 at 11:33 a.m. local time and/or the Iraq Shi'ite 3/13/2026 public vow against perceived Baal worshippers: both times praying: "We the Monotheists of the world, with the help of God, will bring down the worshippers of Satan and the arrogant oppressors."
THE BAAL CYCLE

Burning Effigy of Baal in Iran 2/11/2026 - WikiMedia
Ancient texts, 1300 - 1100 B.C. were archeologically discovered in Syria in 1928 and the 1930s, scholarly interpretations for these were written up for the public from 1969 through at least 2015. Put together in sequence, the BAAL stories are known as "The Baal Cycle":
* Baal defeats the Sea God Yam (or Yammu)
* Baal defeated and killed by Mot (God of Death and Sterility)
* For 7 or 8 years, Drought, along with Chaos
* Baal's Sister Anat defeats Mot, revenging Her Brother's Murder
* Baal's Return to "Cosmic Kingship" as "Sustainer of the Cosmos"
~ F.Y.I.: Baal is supported by multiple Gods of War
~ Baal was revered as Victorious in War
(Note that it is primarily the young, mostly young males, who die in wars,
especially so in ancient wars)
~ Baal was shown with two horns on his head, steer-like, or ram-like

"Offering to Molech" by Charles Foster - Wikipedia
~ Baal translates as "Lord" or "Owner" ("By 2030, you will own nothing")
~ Baal's wife/sister/mistress/consort = goddess of War

Maxwell Epstein, 1993 - Wikimedia Commons
~ In ancient religions, Baal is associated with Chronos/Saturn. As "Rider of the Clouds", He was/is? Sky God, Storm God
~ Said, pre-New Testament era, to "Ride a Pale Horse" (= in The Four Horsemen")
~ Baal lightning (ball of lightning?)

Castings of Anat, Baal from Ugarit, Baal of Lightening - Wikimedia Commons
~ Baal controls the Weather, especially if it will rain or not rain (Geo-engineering)
(Note the image for Aquarius: Water powered from above in the sky by a masculine figure)
~ (Note Pluto transiting Saturn-ruled Aquarius;
Saturn and Neptune both in Warrior Sign Aries)
~ Said to have 85 legions of demons under his command
~ During hot, dry summer, Baal was said to be in "the Underworld"
When the intense hot weather ended, he was said to come up from the Underworld bringing storms of wind, rain, lightning (Note Virgo New Moon 9/11/2026 6:27 a.m. IDT Sabian Symbol: "A Swimming Race") Hmm...
~ Especially in times of strife, children particularly first-born children, were/are? sacrificed to Baal. In times of strife or not, such sacrifices made were/are said to bring prosperity to those who offer up the child/children
~ The historian Herodotus wrote that every woman living in Babylon was compelled to prostitute herself to a stranger in the temple of Beltis (Baal's consort) once in her life.
~ Non-worshippers (including some? all? Muslims) saw/see Baal as Satan
~ Christians of a certain era said Baal was Beelzebub "prince (or king) of the demons"
~ Biblically-historically speaking, some Hebrews worshipped Baal for a time;
other Hebrews were said to denounce Baal worship
