Release Date: October 29, 2025
Reason for Selection: Subtle but consequential choice point
Evolutionary Edge: Form no longer dictates the terms of existence. You no longer adapt to reality. You audition it for relevance.
Recipe:
Activate the force of the four in your blood;
Embody the forces of life and death as the power to create and destroy;
Incorporate the wisdom that fosters true evolution;
Fuse those ingredients with your own best possibilities; and
Evolve forward … 4ward.
This Force ∞ Fusion is inspired by an astrological event but unfolds as a universal design principle. Its impact reaches far beyond the day, the hour, and the visible movement of the planets.
The forces at play are combustible, creative, and timeless. Above all, they are inductive—each generates motion within the other, evoking and invoking evolution through interaction.
Force Induction
Induction is the process by which a force or field is generated in one body by the influence of another, without direct contact.
Here, Jupiter and Saturn generate evolutionary potential without every touching in the physical world. This is creation by resonance, not collision.
In this Force ∞ Fusion Jupiter brings expansion into play. It inspires wild commitments to seemingly impossible dreams because its vibes are seductively happy and irrationally exuberant.
In Egyptian cosmology, Jupiter equates to Horus—the one who fights to bring about the NeXt creative movement. He struggles and fights mercilessly against reactionary forces to establish himself and bring about his vision.
Vexing as they are, those forces act more like the chrysalis pushing against a butterfly’s wings than a serious movement capable of putting down progress.
And this is where Cancer enters the story. Cancer teaches us where and how to root Jupiter’s expansive, determined fire. It also challenges us to bring magic into the mundane (lest it become an inescapable trap).
Jupiter in Cancer expands the themes of the Fourth House, which are quite similar to Malkhut (the sefirah of embodiment in the Tree of Life). The Fourth House focuses our attention on survival-level issues:
nurturance;
secure foundations;
the root of incarnation;
nourishment; and
attachment.
Yet even in this this domain of earthly concerns, a deeper mythic architecture remains active and highly relevant.
If we time travel back to ancient Egypt in search of something akin to Cancer, we encounter Geb (Earth) and Nut (Sky) and Shu, the Air that separates the Earth from the Sky.
Shu is the force that keeps the Sky (the Heavens) and the Earth from collapsing into one another. He is also associated with visible light.
Implied in this triad is a fourth, dark or obscure presence: Tefnut, at once the humid Air of the fiery hot summer and the moist, vital, and obscure force of darkness.
Biologically, Shu and Tefnut embody the dynamic union of the brain’s left and right hemispheres—joined, yet differentiated through the corpus callosum, the brain’s living mediator.
Metaphysically, Shu and Tefnut are the two currents of a single universal mind—they are the Air made conscious.
Shu and Tefnut are father and mother to Geb and Nut. Geb and Nut were once just an idea in the universal mind. Together, Shu, Tefnut, Geb, and Nut provide the foundations for life on Earth.
In my own ancient Mexica tradition, Ometecuhtli and Omecihuatl are the gendered forces of electromagnetism that join and give form to ideas. They reside in the twelfth heaven.
Both the Egyptian and Mexica traditions describe the same metaphysics of creation, using different names.
In the eleventh heaven of my tradition, we move from two to four: the four Tezcatlipocas (the four directions or elements to which Ometecuhtli and Omecihuatl give life). The evolutionary count goes from ce (one) or Centeotl (similar to Ain Sof in the Tree of Life) to two (ome), to four (nahui).
Similarly, in Egyptian cosmology, when we recognize Tefnut, we move from two (Shu and Tefnut) to four (Shu, Tefnut, Geb, and Nut, which together form the Earth, Sky, and the Air that resides between them).
This number play signals the choice point.
At the threshold between two and four, you must decide whether an idea remains potential or becomes something.
The number three corresponds to the electric and magnetic forces as they combine to create a new energy. But that new energy still must become four in order to manifest something new.
In my tradition, the two forces that combine to create four appear hierarchically: 1 + 1 delivers four elements.
In the Egyptian example, the flow is integral: 1+1 delivers two pairs of two such that the mother and the father are explicitly part of the creation or establishment of the quad.
Shhh. I’ll tell you a secret: Shu and Tefnut are both the parents and the offspring of Nut.
In any event, the details of how we get to four are far less important than integrating its power.
The key: Three is not where you want to be.
The number three (yai in my tradition) is the number of human consciousness. It cannot access the power of the dark or hidden forces that give rise to material reality. If we remain in the three, we will have vivid dreams of what we wish to do, but no power to actually change reality.
In the Tree of Life, Malkhut is the only place where awakening is truly possible. The challenges of life on Earth force us to reckon with the central dilemmas of being human. With any luck, we reach the point at which we are no longer satisfied with purely material answers.
We then look to a wisdom tradition to teach us how to bring divinity (and the hidden forces) to bear upon our humanity. We approach the tradition in a posture of surrender. But we also approach it as warriors determined to embody its power in practices that combine magic and discipline.
In my tradition, we take every measure necessary to unite the tonal (waking consciousness) with the nahual (sleeping consciousness or dreaming consciousness) in order to master our lives and our dreams.
The ultimate aim is to die a Nahual who cannot be absorbed by either the darkness or the light.
Egyptian cosmology challenges us similarly in the deity, Isis, the one who is able to wield the forces of light and darkness (and all other polarities) to perform miracles (like conceiving her son, Horus, by pulling the last of the generative energy out of her dead husband, Osiris—without ever finding his missing member).
Thus, the choice point is between magic and unmitigated mayhem reinforced by our belief that everything we face just “is what it is:”
immovable matter.
Why mayhem?
It’s not essential. Desire is far superior as an evolutionary force, especially for the architects of NeXt. But it is often mayhem that pushes us to give up the poison of our human consciousness in its worst expression:
Victim consciousness (the consciousness instilled in us by our own victimization).
Jupiter in Cancer will either take us further into questions of human survival, or take us deeper into the exponential power of the Four—especially when it is working in concert with Saturn.
A Tricky Harmony
A trine is a harmonious and tricky aspect. The obstacles between two things fall away. Suddenly two forces combine their power to generate a third, sometimes imperceptible, evolutionary current. The shift is often so smooth you don’t even notice it. It’s like a door that appears upon the horizon, but it barely disturbs the landscape. You might miss it if you aren’t looking for it.
As I have already imparted, a trine alone is insufficient to deliver change to the material plane.
Hint: You and your choices are the variable that can turn the trine into a quad.
In my tradition, triangles are dreams. Squares are matter.
Jupiter in Cancer suddenly dancing with Saturn in Pisces presents a particularly potent evolutionary current.
Saturn in my tradition is Yaotl: the enemy of progress and the power to fix energy in matter. The practices of the tradition enable us to overcome the influence of Yaotl via wisdom combined with discipline and magic .
In Egyptian cosmology, Saturn equates to Sobek, the fixative power that binds energy into matter. But Saturn also invokes Seth, the one who fights against progress until Horus (the NeXt creative movement) is stable and mature enough.
Seth is the chrysalis pushing against Horus’ wings.
In the sign of Pisces, the material power of Saturn can generate stagnant water. Aleister Crowley rather pessimistically linked it to the word, “indolence” in his Thoth Tarot.
Regarding this card, he commented as follows:
… in this very extensive country, incapable of cultivation; only disease and miasmatic poison can flourish in those vast Bad Lands.
In modern, Western astrology, Pisces is the sign of dissolution, dreams, and at the extreme, boundless empathy (aka codependency). Pisces is stagnant when combined with Saturn because Saturn’s function is to contain, define, and harden. Pisces’ function is to dissolve into wholeness, blur, and merge.
Saturn is the stronger force. Pisces simply doesn’t have the boundaries or the physicality necessary to exert much influence over Saturn.
In Egyptian cosmology, Pisces corresponds to Sepdet or the star system of Sirius. Sirius is a binary system that combines one brilliant, electric-blue star with its dark, dead twin star (not just dead, but gravitationally significant as the force of death).
Sepdet is the cosmic Isis. She is the cosmic field of polarities unified in one binary system.
In my tradition, Sirius is the power of life and death unified in that same binary system. It contains the power to destroy and recreate that which is apparently fixed in matter and immovable.
Astronomically, Sirius is a unit—one living star and one white dwarf.
Mythically, Sirius is life and death held in perfect orbit:
the living star bound to its own shadow (creative essence, generative darkness, but also death).
In my tradition, far from taking on the name of Indolence, the Force ∞ Fusion that arises from Jupiter in Cancer trine Saturn in Pisces is extremely powerful. It’s an inductive evolutionary force.
When you imbue this combination with its deeper, ancient meaning of matter (or the material world) possessed by the evolutionary forces of Sirius, anything is possible. Saturn and the structures he represents are already primed for evolution. Jupiter under the power of the Four expands the existing evolutionary potential.
Yet, a powerful choice also emerges:
Will you embody this power as Yaotl (the Saboteur) or as the one who overcomes your challenges via the incarnation of wisdom?
Yaotl is tricky. Even a temporary breakdown of structure is meaningless unless Evolutionary Intelligence guides your hand toward NeXt.
To prevail wisdom directs magic and will, not the other way around (magic and will overwhelming wisdom with hubris).
Where Pisces, in Western astrology often lacks limits, Sirius gives us the key to establishing precise and unshakable boundaries.
In my tradition, the material world provides only a reflection of what we have previously created. The forces of life and death inherent in Sirius give us the power to change our reflection.
Unfortunately, our reflection is invisible to us until we seek to jar it into evolutionary movement using the powers of life and death—until something prompts us to challenge what appears so real.
With this elixir, we most definitely seek to jar our reflection into evolutionary movement!
The Choice Point
When Jupiter in Cancer suddenly and silkily slides in Saturn’s DMs, you have to make a choice:
Expand your human consciousness of limited power;
Combine it with the stagnation of Saturn in Pisces that you can so easily derive from modern astrology;
Sit in your stinky, stagnant water pissing yourself as the pool of your distress gets ever larger; and
Accept the things you believe you cannot change as destiny.
OR
Activate the force of the four in your blood;
Embody the forces of life and death as the power to create and destroy;
Incorporate the wisdom that fosters true evolution;
Fuse those ingredients with your own best possibilities; and
Evolve forward … 4ward.

Mars in Scorpio;
North Node, Saturn, and Neptune (all in Pisces); and
Jupiter in Cancer.
The Hidden Gem for Devoted Readers
At the same time, Venus in Libra will be coming into a square with Jupiter in Cancer.
Venus (in both my tradition and Egyptian cosmology) points to the embodied mastery of all polarities, especially the awakened masculine and feminine forces. Through Venus, we embody the dual power of Sirius on Earth.
Venus in Libra challenges us to find the point of dynamic balance as we wield the twin forces.
Libra points to Ma’at in Egyptian cosmology. She infuses the square with truth, justice, and the cosmic consciousness that takes us beyond our limited, human perspectives.
Venus in Libra square Jupiter in Cancer can boost the power of this elixir tremendously by infusing it with purpose and with the kinetic tension you need to achieve the ultimate Force ∞ Fusion:
the dynamic union of the tonal and the nahual through which you will gain mastery of your dreams and your life.
