Mars and Mercury emerge from the Saturn/Neptune gauntlet this week with Mercury ‘in the lead’ and Mars perhaps a bit ‘sadder but wiser’. Also, Venus leads Uranus back into Gemini in a nearly exact replay of the sequence that happened back in early July of 2025.
We’re being punked, right? Like, Ashton Kutcher is behind all of this, right?
If I accept the fact that a god is absolute and beyond all human experiences, he leaves me cold. I do not affect him, nor does he affect me. But if I know that a god is a powerful impulse in my soul, at once I must concern myself with him, for then he can become important.~CG Jung
"We can have democracy in this country, or we can have great wealth concentrated in the hands of a few, but we can't have both."
–Justice Louis Brandeis
“They’re destroying more than fifty research facilities across thirty-one states, labs that house decades of irreplaceable long-term science…And they’re replacing all of it — the offices, the scientists, the institutional knowledge, the professional independence — with fifteen political appointees”
Check! 👍😊
“We are not through the fire, but standing in the eye of it, approaching fog as Mars enters Aries this week and then catches Neptune on the 13th, which will see decisions made under conditions where nobody fully understands the picture. “
“Yes, this moment is mind-breaking, but it is also heart-activating, and of course it is, as we stand at the dawn of the Age of the Heart. May we not be lost in fear and dread as we walk the path that lies before us, but may we go forth boldly knowing that our steps are guided with love...”
The Sun-Jupiter square completes at the beginning of this week. The need for responsibility may be obscured by the free-wheeling enthusiasm that can quickly turn into defensiveness. Mars gets to Aries on Thursday, ruling the Aries stellium, heading into a bubble-bursting conjunction with Neptune.
Now is the time to confront what Trump is saying, not sanitize it. To take him literally and seriously. To stand tall and not back away.

The biggest story in the world right now is that the president of the United States is a demented old man who takes pleasure in torturing and killing people and is committing crimes with impunity. And yet most legacy media outlets are too cowardly to tell it like it is.

Putin told Trump to destroy this country from within and he was more than willing to accommodate his request.
What's the reason for Republican lawmakers going along with this?
Are they paid off, hate America and are loyal to a country they don't reside in, or both?
The whole idea of 'tending one's own garden' is so relevant - especially now. This is a good piece. I've never been much of a fan of Jupiter so I do appreciate this comment: "... I think that the gambling aspect of Jupiter can be dangerous because there's things that you just don't bet on."
"People have already had to rethink so many concepts of motion; and they will also gradually come to realize that what we call fate does not come into us from the outside, but emerges from us...The future stands still, dear Mr. Kappus, but we move in infinite space." -Rainer Maria Rilke

The Libra Full Moon squares Jupiter, potentially encouraging overconfidence and a belief that we know more than we actually know. Venus moving into Taurus and Mercury’s trine to Jupiter may seem to soften the Full Moon’s message that strengthening our connection to others is imperative right now.
“What is dying now is not just a presidency, or a political era, or a set of policies, but the entire civilisational framework built on the logic of extraction, private accumulation, and unchecked power that has shaped the world we were born into.”

If the unconscious suggests something that seems crazy to me, I say to it: "Well, I think this is crazy nonsense. I am not going to do it. Go to hell!” Still, I add, "But if it is not crazy nonsense, please send me another dream and then I'll reconsider."~Marie Louise von Franz

This is going to be a busy week with a Senate confirmation hearing, potential votes on war funding and GOP voter suppression legislation, and high-profile Democratic primaries.
Following the Pisces New Moon in a sextile to Uranus, the subsequent Spring Equinox, and Mercury’s direct station, we finally gain some traction this week. But there’s still plenty of fog to clear away. Once the fog clears, we will begin to see a vast, new, unexplored potential laid out before us.
“We are standing on the edge of change - not disastrous change, not a downgrade, but a shift to something entirely different. Something better for us, and better for our planet, something sustainable, more harmonious and in alignment with the rising Age of the Heart.”
The Mercury-Mars conjunction today is the fourth in a rare series of five conjunctions, a cluster that only forms every 15-17 years. The most notable recent example was in 2008/09 when the Global Financial Crisis hit, which was itself an exact 79-year repetition of when this same series...
If you've been following the news lately, you'd be right to feel overwhelmed. You're not imagining how bad it feels. It is bad. But there's something heartening going on beneath the noise of collapse that the news is not telling you about.... https://loom.ly/O0sAhUE
Jupiter’s direct station bumps up the idealism while the retrograde Mercury in Pisces and the waning Moon offer little traction. We’re teetering between Pisces and Aries - endings and beginnings - but few opportunities for progress. Take time to reflect on where we are and how we got here.
History.
