Dear friends,
Last week, the fist closed exactly when the sky said it would, as Mars met Saturn in Aries and, within hours, Trump’s claim that the Strait of Hormuz was open began unravelling as Iranian forces fired on three vessels trying to cross the strait and the US blew a hole in the engine room of an Iranian-flagged cargo ship and seized her in international waters. Force met structure on cue, just as the sky predicted.
Then as Mercury crossed Saturn and Mars, The Wall Street Journal described a President so unstable after learning Iranians had shot down an American jet that his own aides physically kept him out of the room as updates came in. The same President later fell asleep in an Oval Office press event, went on late night social media rants about the Clintons and the Obamas and reposted AI-generated images of women who do not exist and asked Iran to release them. The New York Times described it as “a deranged autocrat mad with power.” The sky called it what it was - a leader unravelling.
Friday brought the financial threshold the sky had been telegraphing for months as Venus met Uranus at the very last degree of Taurus, and on cue the United Arab Emirates asked the US Treasury for a financial backstop - they are running out of capacity to keep the Iran war going, as the petrodollar architecture took a visible hit and the people inside it scrambled to hold it together with private American money. The same rupture showed up at ground level as Farmer Mac's reported Chapter 12 farm bankruptcies up 46% and total farm debt now projected at a record $624.7 billion. 70% of American farmers told the Farm Bureau they can't afford the fertilizer they need this season. Venus met Uranus in the bull's last degree, and the bull is the farmer, the granary, the soil itself. The petrodollar wobbled in Dubai. The land cracked open in the Delta. The same money running out in the same week, at every scale at once.
Then Saturday’s Sun-Pluto square detonated the corruption story wide open as Senator Jon Ossoff called out Jared Kushner’s two-billion-dollar Saudi funding and Eric and Don Jr’s company pitching drone interceptors to Gulf states during the very war they are profiting from. The Mar-a-Lago Mafia, Ossoff called it. Pluto doesn’t destroy what is real - only what was never real to begin with.
After weeks of walking through relentless fire, where every major movement in the sky was in the same sign moving in the same direction - forward, hot, fast, and igniting - this week, the forge finally cools. The Aries stellium becomes a memory as the Scorpio Full Moon - the most watery moon of the year - rises on Beltane, the old fire festival when fire and water were always meant to meet. The forge has done its work, the blade has been made, and now the sky plunges what has been forged into the deep, and in the hiss and the steam of that meeting the blade will finally be set.
As Uranus, the awakener, crosses from Taurus into Gemini after seven years of shaking the body of the world, the seven-year rewiring of the human mind begins. The seven years that just ended changed the ground we stand on. The seven years that begin this week will change the instrument we perceive that ground with as the mind itself is rewired.
This week, as we welcome this shift and also observe the Scorpio Full Moon, the sky asks us to descend instead of ascend, to drink instead of burn, to let the body catch up with what the last three months have done to it. Some of us will feel it as relief, and some as heaviness - a weight in the belly, a drop in the mood, a pull toward solitude or water or sleep. Neither is wrong. Both are the quench. The body is being allowed, finally, to set the shape of what the fire has been making. We have been in a forge and we are being taken out of it, and the hiss we hear is not a warning, but the sound of the shape setting.
The fire has done its work.
The water is here, and so is the air of change.
And underneath both, the rewiring begins.
Join the Inner Circle and we will walk through each day of the coming week and map what the sky says is coming. Pull up a seat by the water. Let’s let it in together.
