My Remote Viewing Binge

October's Paid Subscriber Goodie Now Available: Eclipse Tracker for 2004-2029

In late September, I saw the YouTube teaser for Future Forecasting Group’s September 2023 video “The Event That Will Change The World?” and went through with subscribing to their paid site so I could see the whole video. Usually, Future Forecasting Group’s team of remote viewers is assigned a target where they don’t know what they’re looking at, but they all wind up getting impressions that have something to do with the target. This time, however, the team of remote viewers all got impressions seemingly unrelated to the assigned target — but in agreement with each other that a significant event, potentially on the scale of the next 9/11, is coming.

I probably would not have bothered to subscribe to Future Forecasting Group had their teaser been, “90 days from now, you will probably be living in the same house and working at the same job,” even though I personally think that is the more likely outcome. As a Daily Horoscope Writer for Tarot.com, I just finished writing November’s daily horoscopes. I will say that there is a risk of being in a stinky mood during Thanksgiving weekend, with the Sun and Mars in Sagittarius both square to Saturn in Pisces, but anyone old enough to be reading their horoscope has probably been through a stinky mood at some point and lived.

Even so, I went on to watch several other videos on the Future Forecasting Group website. They do monthly forecasts, as well as special features looking at various cities and public figures. I had them on in the background while I was writing some of late November’s horoscopes, and I felt that remote viewer Edward Riordan’s style of talking was helpful for me to emulate as a horoscope writer — vague but relatable and evocative.

I would love to see Riordan’s astrological chart. In a recent YouTube video, cat dad Riordan said he was 53 years old at the time of a reading he did on September 22, 2022. That would have him born in 1968 or 1969; I don’t know more than that.

I Tried Remote Viewing Myself

Anyway, I got curious enough to try remote viewing myself. I’d had some experience attending the type of guided meditation event where the facilitator gets attendees relaxed and then tells them to look “one year out” or at a specific month in the near future. (Jane de Forest occasionally leads events of this sort; join her mailing list to be notified of opportunities.) However, I hadn’t previously tried viewing blind targets like Future Forecasting Group does.

You need another person to help you do blind target remote viewing, so my mom and I made each other some targets. The person making the target starts with two pieces of paper. On one piece of paper, they write down what the target is, as well as a short random number identifying the target. On the second piece of paper, they write down only the identification number.

The person doing the remote viewing receives the piece of paper with only the identification number. They then write or sketch any impressions that come to mind.

I found it easier to collect impressions than my mom did. Like any other skill, some people may go into remote viewing with more natural aptitude than others, but I suspect that whatever remote viewing aptitude anyone starts with can be strengthened by things like regularly writing down your dreams, which I have done for more than 20 years.

My previous experience with guided meditations to visualize the future was also helpful, but I found I personally got better and more detailed intel with this approach where I didn’t know what I was looking at. When the Future Forecasting Group remote viewers look at a well-known public figure like Elon Musk or Anthony Fauci, they don’t know who they’re looking at, and this is a good thing because it keeps their preconceived notions about that person from contaminating their results. I typically have my own preconceived notions about where I might be a year in the future, and it’s sometimes hard for me to separate those ideas from genuine intuitive hits when I do guided meditations to visualize the future.   

None of the remote viewing blind targets I did were future targets; all had to do with the present state of various people or objects. Here’s one example: the target my mom gave me was cantaloupe, which she and I typically eat cut up in cubes. I didn’t get cantaloupe, but I got ice cubes, which are also cold and moist.

I also did a few targets via text message from a friend in another city to make sure there wasn’t any effect from me and my mom being in the same house. In the targets from both my friend and my mom, I was surprised at how much emotion I often picked up. For example, one of the targets my friend gave me was a Native American drum. I didn’t get the drum itself, but I got the vulnerable energy of young men hoping to impress their female peers — which might be one of the uses of such a drum.

In at least one of Riordan’s video appearances, he mentioned that he sometimes misspelled words in the written content of his remote viewing sessions because remote viewing uses a different part of the brain than spelling does. After several days of remote viewing practice, I could see what he was talking about — even when I wasn’t remote viewing at that moment, I had trouble writing a coherent sentence in my diary!

I’ve always been very good at writing and spelling. When I was in first grade, I was already correcting my teacher’s spelling mistakes. To suddenly have trouble with that was therefore shocking.

This month, my progressed Moon in Aries is squaring my natal Neptune in early Capricorn, and transiting Neptune in Pisces is opposing my progressed Sun in Virgo. That might account for unexpectedly discovering my remote viewing abilities as well as the associated mental fuzziness.

However, what I want right now is Saturn energy, not Neptune energy! Blind target remote viewing is super cool, but I need to take a break from it at least until I get the paperback version of Impossible Dreams out. Mercury finally leaves my 12th house, where it has mostly been since August 6, on October 7; I’m ready for rabbit hole season to be over.

October’s Paid Subscriber Goodie

October’s item for paid subscribers is an eclipse tracker. This spreadsheet goes all the way back to 2004 because that’s the last time the eclipses were in Aries and Libra. As with the Mercury Retrograde tracker that was the September paid subscriber item, you can track what happened the last time an eclipse hit a particular house of your natal chart. The tracker allows you to sort by sign of eclipse, by date of eclipse, or by any of the other columns.
