Let’s Have a Nice Round of Applause for the Kalki Avatar

The end of the Kali Yuga

Sorry! I usually don’t post this often—but I couldn’t resist!

I don’t know about you, but nobody told me the Kali Yuga was ending with the Vernal Equinox of 2025. The Kali Yuga, for those who might not know, is the Age of Darkness in Hinduism. It began with death of Lord Krishna in 3102 BCE. At the end of this age, the Kalki Avatar, riding on a white horse, comes to rid the world of wicked rulers and restore righteousness, he who, in the words of the Vedas, “will kill by the millions the thieves and the rogues who have dared to dress as kings in this Age of Darkness.” I am Dr. Michael Martin, and I support this message. (Incidentally, I cribbed this scripture and include it in my poem, “The Blue God,” which is included in my book Mythologies of the Wild of God, but which you can also read here.)

Now, according to some calculations, claiming the Kali Yuga came to an end last Thursday is about 400,000 years early (give or take a couple thousand years), but Rudolf Steiner claimed it ended in 1900. Take your pick, but, for the moment, I think I’ll go with March 20, 2025.

The reason I prefer last Thursday is because, as it happens, the announcement of the end of the Kali Yuga coincides with a number of unique—and uniquely important—astrological movements, not least of which is Neptune’s entrance into Aries (0º) this Sunday. As I wrote here on the Druid in January 2024:

“First of all, 0º of Aries is a SUPER IMPORTANT point: it’s where it all starts—the first day of spring. There’s a reason the Feast of the Annunciation is so close to the vernal equinox—March 25^th also having been thought to be the day of the last day of creation as well as the historical date of the crucifixion. It’s a BIG FAT DEAL. So, when Neptune enters Aries, I would expect it to be a harbinger of an inauguration of a new era of spirituality. That’s on the good side. On the bad side, an era of pharmacological excess (cannabis, mushrooms, DMT, etc) could also become a cultural tsunami. The last time Neptune entered Aries coincided with the U.S. Civil War—which I don’t expect to repeat (other things were going on then), but I think it does point to a general feeling that “things can’t keep on this way” and that change is not only immanent but unavoidable. Neptune will backtrack into Pisces for a bit in 2025, but moves into Aries for the long haul in 2026.”

Actually, now that I see what’s happening in the world, I’d say I was pretty on the money (and one might say that, while not an armed conflict, there is indeed a kind of fifth generation civil war going on in the US at the moment).

But wait! There’s more!

As I also wrote last year, the conjunction of Saturn and Neptune this June also bodes ill for the thieves and rogues who have dared to dress themselves as kings:

“First of all, this is the same conjunction that coincided with the downfall of Eastern Bloc Communism in 1988-89. It was also when Nelson Mandela was released from prison after 28 years (a Saturn cycle) of incarceration. If you were alive at that time—and I was—you will recall it as a time of great hope and optimism (the iconic dismantling of the Berlin Wall). Seeing totalitarian regimes implode can do that to a person. At that time, the planets (and Neptune) were in Capricorn—the sign of bankers and investors and a masculine order of things (among other things). So, while it disrupted the Communist order, it strengthened the Capitalist: this was when the American Empire™ (propped up by the banksters) really came into its own and over time became, it could be argued, an even more evil realization of the totalitarianism that then collapsed. Nevertheless, with this conjunction at 0-1º of Aries, the reset button will again be hit—and it won’t be the Great Reset the Archons have been promoting. They already know this and are trying to circumvent the inevitable.”

My friend, the economist and historian Guido Preparata (he who coined the phrase “Conspiracy theory is too important to be left to conspiracy theorists”) has often said that the Archons (which is a fancy way of saying “those assholes who run the world”) are always ten steps ahead of everyone else. He is not wrong. As we can see in real time, the Archons know the jig is up and are scrambling to hold on to power, though I think right now there only about three steps ahead—and losing ground quickly. It won’t work. Not this time—though they will undoubtedly be raising havoc for a while yet. But these are their death throes.

Last January, I also mentioned the Jupiter-Saturn trine and the Uranus-Pluto trine, both which occur later this year:

“In June and July, while Saturn and Uranus are still doing their conjunction thing, Jupiter will trine Saturn, bringing peace where before there was strife. A similar thing will happen when Uranus trines Pluto in September. These aspects bode well for a peaceful and prosperous type of change. The only thing is, change is a property of the cosmos, and there will always be Archons happy to make your lives miserable. But the era for this crop of Archons is coming to an end.”

But one thing I overlooked last year was the entrance of Uranus into Gemini, which starts in July and last until November when the planet backtracks into Taurus for a few months before moving back into Gemini where it will stay until August 2032. I think this will have much to do with the liberating possibilities of communications technology, unlike what we have seen with Uranus in Taurus, the sign of money and greed. With Uranus in Taurus we saw the internet move from a platform of initiative, optimism, and openness (Uranus in Aries) to BigTech using the internet for monetization and, well, acting like kings. Its placement in Gemini won’t be like the heady optimism of Uranus in Aries, but it will be more focused on communication, innovation, and invention (this surely will have a lot to do with AI). Gemini is actually a good place for Uranus, as both represent intelligence, both human and technological. There are, of course, dangers that accompany this; but they are not the dangers of bankers and corporations running things to their own benefit. It’s more like the kind of innovation we saw with Thomas Edison, Alexander Graham Bell, and their contemporaries (the invention of the Guttenberg printing press and the invention of the telescope also happened when Uranus was in Gemini).

In general, I am very optimistic, especially in the longish term. But rapid change can be exhausting!

The poem I mentioned above was inspired by a “vision” I had in 1987 and which came back to me as I was scything forage for my cows couple years ago. I discussed this and the nature of visions a little with John Vervaeke a while back on the Regeneration podcast. But I’m glad I lived to see Kalki at last cross Lake Huron. Surely some revelation is at hand.

This scene from Clint Eastwood’s film Pale Rider is about as Kalki as it gets.
