The Stars Over Europa

An astrological forecast for the coming Zeitgeist

You can feel it even if you can’t explain it. The mood in Europe has turned. What was once celebrated as progress has been exposed as decay. Institutions have lost all respect and credibility. The sacred cow of multiculturalism is slowly being revealed as a Trojan horse. The public is angry, increasingly polarised, and tired of being told they must commit civilisational suicide in order to prove their virtue. This isn’t just a passing mood swing, but a foundational shift. A societal correction is looming and the ideals that shaped post-war Europe are collapsing under the weight of their own false promises. A reality check is overdue.

Beyond this observable change in the Zeitgeist, however, deeper forces are are at work: metaphysical currents that dictate the ebb and flow of the happenings in our world. In antiquity, kings and emperors would not take any major actions without determining whether or not these currents were favourable, and to do that, they would look to the planetary cycles of the heavens. The planets were believed to be connected to these cosmic rhythms and could thus provide omens as to what fate had in store.

Today, astrologers continue this tradition and track long-term historical cycles by watching the movements of the planets, and as the four outermost planets all move into a unique alignment, radical change is imminent. Pluto has entered ideological Aquarius, Saturn and Neptune will conjoin in martial Aries, and Uranus is soon to ingress into restless Gemini, creating a harmonious configuration that produces a sense of ease and flow between them. And while it doesn’t take an astrologer to see that the stage is already being set for a cultural shift, astrology can give us clues as to what kind of show is about to play out on that stage and what twists and turns the plot might take.

The outer planets involved describe what kind of reckoning is building and we can look to these archetypes for general principles of how things will develop over the next several years. Pluto in Aquarius brings the breakdown and restructuring of collective systems and rejects anything that is no longer functioning. Saturn and Neptune in Aries will fuse belief with action, concretising idealism and turning it into a tool of discipline, sacrifice, and even war. Uranus in Gemini is prone to destabilising consensus by collapsing narratives, spreading new ideologies, and creating hard polarisations. Together, these planets will work to accelerate the denouement of multiculturalism, globalism, woke-ism, and other luxury ideologies of late-stage liberalism, not through dramatic ruptures, but through the organic momentum of accumulating inevitability.

As the mood shifts, we can expect to a see cultural hardening. The age of using victimhood as cultural capital is coming to an end, and not gently, but with shame and rejection. We are entering an era where strength, clarity, and competence are valued again and weakness, confusion, and uselessness will be seen as liabilities. The new ethos won’t be soft and inclusive. Saturn’s influence in Aries and as the ruler of Aquarius will draw lines that say “here are those who aren’t pulling their weight.” No longer will the struggling soul with a dozen mental disorders be lauded, but rather the person who knows how to keep it together and work hard without complaining. Social currency will come from usefulness, not uniqueness. The cult of uniqueness will give way to a cult of functionality. Pluto in Aquarius doesn’t care about your feelings, it cares about how efficiently you function within the whole. Saturn has no more patience for emotional fragility, it wants disciplined action. And Neptune no longer cares if your beliefs make you feel good, but only what they can motivate you to accomplish. People are growing cold, not out of cruelty, but out of exhaustion, and the collective will begin to strip itself of sentimentality in favour of that which actually works.
