“Unveiling the Cosmic Con: How Neptune and Pisces Fuel a New Era of Grifting and Desperation”

Added on November 12, 2024 inASTROLOGY CARDS

Have you noticed that “grifting” seems to be everywhere these days? It’s almost as if the world has turned into an elaborate con game, with us all cast as the unsuspecting players. Frederick Woodruff from the Rage of Aquarius podcast sparked this thought for me, and trust me, it’s hard to ignore the alarming prevalence of this behavior—it’s creeping into our daily lives like a bad sequel of a movie we never wanted to watch. As Saturn and Neptune make their grand entrance into Pisces, the timing feels particularly ripe for deception. It’s nearly poetic, really: we’re all actors on this cosmic stage, and some of us might not even know the script!

Take a moment to reflect on that—how many of us have seen friends and loved ones fall prey to scams that seem lifted right out of a script? Just yesterday, I was chatting with a client—a Pisces by birth—who’s watching her husband get tangled in a web spun by grifters. She’s pouring her heart out about losses that are piling up like laundry in a college dorm. Sounds like a plot you’d find in a drama series, doesn’t it? As distractions flourish in our over-saturated lives, I can’t help but feel we’re all walking around with “mark” tattooed on our foreheads, particularly during these chaotic astrological times. So, are you paying attention?

Paper moonIt was Frederick Woodruff of the Rage of Aquarius podcast that got me thinking about “grifting”. He was seeing this happening all around. I see it as well. It’s become utterly commonplace. It’s on the verge of becoming “normal behavior”.

I feel this is a good time to write about this because Saturn and Neptune are stationing in Pisces.  Random info, it was astrologer, Stephen Arroyo, who estimated the power of a planet is increased tenfold, when stationing. If he’s anywhere near correct, this is a peak time to be scammed.

I’m prompted to write this today, because I was talking to a client yesterday. She’s a Pisces with a Scorpio moon, married to a Scorpio with a 12th house, Pisces moon.

The client’s husband has a massive T-square in Mutable signs.  His entire chart is in Mutable signs, including a large 9th house stellium in Sagittarius.  You can imagine the pressure he’s under and how distorted his reality may or not be.

The client is (no flattery, she doesn’t even read here), an angel with keen insight.  She’s literally watches over all her family, including every niece or nephew, all day, every day. At the moment, she’s watching her husband be scammed! Yep, he’s involved with some grifters.  This is involving fraud and leases.  Losses are $20K and climbing. I think she’s trying to get him out of this for $40K.  He keeps slipping on banana peels.

This is another form of grifting:

The AI Version Of Me (Pluto In Aquarius – Death Of Creativity)

My lifelong friend, Ben, was also hacked. I sent the grifter a $400 gift card, which I was able to recover. Minor miracle.

Then you have Twitter (or whoever) paying for viral content.  Big accounts steal the creative product of smaller accounts and profit from it.

The desperation part of this came up because I think it’s a factor in the client’s situation.  The scammers are desperate and locked on a target.  She already understands she is going to have to pay to get rid of them.  Point here is for some, scamming is a game, but for some…well they will stop at nothing. You can blame this in part, on Saturn in Pisces.  Consequences are foggy or perhaps, denied.

Bottom line, I’d be extra careful at this time.  We’re all distracted.  I know I’m weird but this is one of the things I studied, when I was young. Con men.  The graphic is from the movie, Paper Moon.  Father and daughter grifters. Reminds me of my father and I playing cards… though we didn’t cheat, it was still a “show”. I looked into this, which means I read every book in existence on this topic.

Point is, a key feature of every scam is to distract the mark.  We’re all distracted, see? So we’re all at risk, marks waiting to happen.

You don’t have to be paranoid, but if you get niggling feeling, I’d mind it.

Have you noticed this behavior becoming more common?
