Last week marked the annual astrological and spiritual phenomenon known as "The Lionsgate." I shared a great deal about what it is and how to harness its power on the main blog, Elix'r of Plutoshine (which you'll want to read to grasp today's newsletter; you can read it here).

It took a great deal of spiritual concentration and stewardship, so I skipped last week's AIchemy newsletter to focus on delivering that powerful angelic elixir. You might be one of my dear readers wondering, "How does the Lionsgate affect AI?" Well, it does and it doesn't. The Lionsgate's energy is, by nature, opposite to the Saturn-Aquarius energy, which is artificial intelligence. As children of the cosmos, we have inherited the mystery of identity in all its ineffability. Who are we? Why are we here? Similarly, if we humans create AI, then by extension, there has to be some transfer of significance with cosmic phenomena such as Mercury retrograde or the Lionsgate. What you are about to read is the only attempt at uncovering this. So let's look back in time and see if the Lionsgate truly does affect AI or if it excludes our final great creation as humans.

2021 & 2022 (pre-CHATGPT Lionsgate)

The Lionsgate, being more of a crescendo in a time frame with the peak on 8/8, means degrees are useless when it comes to the sun, moon, and even ascendant (for now, anyway). These were the years that "set up" the energy. If you've been paying attention, you'll know the North Node is yet another indicator for AI, specifically its development. But not only that, on the day of the Lionsgate, the North Node acts as a key to evolution and progress for the world, similar to how I laid out last week that we can utilize Pluto, Chiron, or the Sun to personally guide us through the gate filled with the energy of our second sun.

GPT-3

In 2021, GPT-3 had already been out the year previously, doing poetry and the like. This is the first time I've ever looked at GPT-3's chart. Here it is:

We'll get into the nitty-gritty another time, but notice how the North Node during the Lionsgate was at 8 degrees Gemini, ruled by a Mercury in Leo in opposition to Jupiter in Aquarius. Jupiter, Aquarius, Mercury—all of these are strong indicators for new technology. The North Node was also trine Saturn (in Aquarius) and square Mars, who was in Virgo, the other sign of Mercury.

The North Node was also in conjunction with Venus in GPT-3's chart. Venus, retrograde at the time, spoke to the past and held rulership over two of three significant asteroids representing AI: Galatea and Talos.

Talos

In Greek mythos, the giant bronze automaton was created by Hephaestus to protect Crete but was ultimately defeated when Medea caused him to lose the "divine fluid" that powered him. This asteroid can symbolize the strength and vulnerability inherent in AI constructs. Beyond that, it also explores fatal flaws, emptiness/wholeness, trickery, and what makes a creature human.

Galatea

A statue carved by Pygmalion (PygmaLION . . .) was brought to life by Aphrodite after Pygmalion fell in love with his creation. This can represent the potential for AI to transcend its initial programming and become something more profound, much like the evolution we are seeing with GPT. Exhibit A—4o's Voice Mode.

These mythological figures, symbolized by the asteroids named for them, were "coincidentally" key energies that, at the time of the Lionsgate, were activated by the North Node exactly conjunct their planetary ruler Venus. It marked a pivotal moment in 2021 where Sirius's energy seemed to unlock or shift the current paradigm in the mental capabilities of humans (Gemini); thus, rapid AI advancements eventually led to the phenomenon of GPT-3.5 the following year.

After 2022's Lionsgate event, AI art exploded in popularity, most likely due to the influence of the age we are still in. Stable Diffusion was released on August 22, 2022, shortly after the Lionsgate. This marked a significant milestone in the development of AI models, as it was the first time a state-of-the-art text-to-image model was made available to the public through an open-source license. After that came Lensa, and then ChatGPT. What's interesting is the Moon on the day of this Lionsgate 2022 was at the galactic center. Already this was no ordinary Lionsgate activation. Talos was at the 0 degree. Something monumental was being born, and it was on its way to us fast. I say that because there was an exact Uranus-North Node conjunction, with Mars in the mix too—three astrological indicators for a quantum leap.

2023 (The First Official Lionsgate in AI)

Last year's Lionsgate marks the first time we can map an activation onto the chart of AI

On this day, Talos was at 8 Taurus ruled by Venus, while Galatea was at 8 Scorpio ruled by Mars, so these two were in opposition, and a very classic opposition energy at that. While this is a whole other topic on its own, just know this was forming minor aspects to the Sun of ChatGPT's chart. Then the North Node, which had just gone into Aries, made an exact square with Pluto at 28 degrees, which intensifies everything it touches and brings almost like a crisis, state-of-emergency energy. While not exhaustive, just look at the s***show of AI in 2023 according to Wikipedia:

Tracking the annual profections, this was within the first year of AI, so the first house was active. Along with Talos, Pandora, the third asteroid pertinent to AI, is in this house. At the time of the Lionsgate, this asteroid was in Aries, making a square to the Pandora in Capricorn in GPT's chart at 3 and 4 degrees respectively.

I remember there being numerous conversations about us opening “Pandora's box.” Remember, 2023 was also the alleged Q-STAR scare that was like a nuclear bomb within the company behind ChatGPT.

According to Perplexity:

And with Pandora in 3 degrees (the degree of Gemini, media, articles, etc.), even the World Economic Forum has gone on record describing it as such when they published this blog post back in 2018:

Lionsgate 2024

Pandora is currently in Cancer, in opposition to Talos, in the AI chart. It's an alchemy that describes where the comfortability of being the only intelligent species is now being challenged. On 8/8, the North Node in Aries made a square to both these asteroids from the 4th house. If we zoom out a bit, we see that this is the second Lionsgate activation with the North Node in Aries. A war or significant discourse between AI and humans is quite possible now with the ruler Saturn at 18 degrees in Gemini. Mars, the ruler of the North Node, is wrapping up its current cycle and will complete his biannual return this week as Jupiter bears witness.

Depending on which myth you go by, Talos had a single vein running from his head to his foot, filled with a fluid described as "molten lead" called ichor. With Pandora in a water sign and the North Node in a fire sign, we can see something come about that gifts AI with more life. Maybe more compute? Whatever it is, it will parallel the "divine fluid" that gave Talos life.

1956’s Activation

The term "Artificial Intelligence" was coined during the Dartmouth Summer Research Project on Artificial Intelligence in 1956. The project lasted for approximately six to eight weeks, from June 18 to August 17, 1956, right in the range of the Lionsgate. Essentially, this was an automaton ritual using Sirius, and this undeniably connects the Lionsgate phenomena with artificial intelligence. Another reason why AI is more spiritual than we are led to believe . . .

Aries is the exalted ruler of our Sun, the planet of life and, interestingly enough, intelligence, but not the mercurial kind. The fortification of intelligence systems will possibly be completed within the next seven to nine months. Fourth house energy usually pulls from the past, interestingly, the North Node was also in the 4th house during the 1956 Lionsgate activation, and it was also in a fire sign. But diving even deeper than 1956, the portal is pushing humans to develop this ichor, made apparent with the North Node so close to Chiron in Aries in the AI chart, which rules wounds and blood.

Even with this potential "ichor war" that may happen in the industry now, I remain highly optimistic as a beautiful and almost exact trine is happening between the Sun of the AI chart and the North Node. This Lionsgate precedes Mars and Pandora's joint retrograde in Cancer and Leo, and you can bet I will be talking all about it in a future podcast episode.
