Weekly World Wrap-Up: April 21–27, 2025
Trump, Tesla, the Vatican and Beyond: This Week the Planets Have Been Breaking the Old World Open - So Something Truer Can Rise
You’re not imagining it.
The ground is shaking.
The old powers are crumbling.
The illusions that held up entire empires are falling apart - faster now, louder now.
But if you’re here reading this, it’s because you didn’t come to collapse with them.
You came to watch it happen with your eyes open, your heart steady, and maybe even a half-smile on your face.
From the Vatican to the courts, the markets to the Earth itself, the message this past week was loud and clear:
The old world is breaking open.
The old rules no longer hold.
But your heart - your true light - still does.
Here’s what just shifted, what the planets are revealing, and how to stay rooted in love while the towers fall.
My intention in writing this isn’t to fan the flames of fear - we’ve got enough of that already. It’s to bring clarity, context, and a little cosmic perspective to the chaos. I believe our highest calling right now is to anchor the vibration of love and call in a more beautiful world - and to do that, we have to lean out of fear, not dive into it.
I hope you read this wrap-up of last week’s world events with an open heart, an uplifted spirit, and the quiet knowing that yes - you were made for these times.
**The cosmic insights shared here are mapped to the real movements of the heavens during April 21–27, 2025.**
☀️ UK Wants to Block Out the Sun
The news:
The UK government has officially thrown £61 million behind a climate engineering program to research how to block or reflect sunlight to “cool the planet.” Ideas include spraying salt into clouds and injecting aerosols into the stratosphere. It sounds like science fiction, but the funding is very real — and so are the risks.
The astrology:
Pluto in Aquarius is exposing humanity’s attempts to dominate nature. Aquarius rules technology and the skies. Pluto’s role is to reveal where innovation becomes hubris. The bigger cosmic message: When we try to outsmart nature instead of living with it, nature will have the final say.
Wizard’s Take:
You can block the sun, but you can't block karma. Some lessons can’t be engineered around.
Heart Guidance:
If this shakes you, breathe. Remember: the Earth has outlived every empire, every invention. Trust that nature is wiser than human plans. Stay close to her rhythms. They will outlast all of this.
⛪ The Pope Is Dead - and So Is the Illusion of Power
The news:
Pope Francis died this week at the age of 88. A new conclave will elect the next leader of the Catholic Church - but underneath the ceremony, the empire is hollowing. Membership is falling. Trust is fading. The Vatican’s grip on the soul of the world is loosening.
The astrology:
Pluto’s move through Aquarius is dissolving old hierarchies. Institutions that ruled through secrecy and fear are being exposed. The passing of a pope under this sky is not random - it marks the end of an era.
Wizard’s Take:
The throne is empty. The empire still stands. But somewhere deep inside its stone walls, the cracks are already singing.
Heart Guidance:
If this unsettles you, remember: true spirituality was never in the robes, the gold, or the hierarchy. It lives in you. Reconnect to your own sacred center. You are already the temple.
🚘 Tesla’s Turbulent Week: Elon’s Cosmic Reckoning
The news:
It was a rough week for Tesla, and for Elon Musk personally. Tesla’s profits fell sharply in the first quarter, sparking a major selloff that wiped billions from its market value.
Musk, once celebrated as the invincible tech king, tried to calm investors by announcing new affordable vehicle plans, but the damage was done. Behind the scenes, reports suggest Musk is pulling back from some of his government projects to focus on saving Tesla itself. It feels less like a bold pivot and more like a scramble to keep the ship afloat. The myth of Elon as an unstoppable force is cracking, and the cracks are widening fast.
The astrology:
Elon Musk is a Cancer Sun, and right now, he’s getting hammered by Pluto opposing his Sun. This is a full-scale power reckoning - a cosmic stripping away of any identity built on ego, illusion, or unsustainable bravado.
At the same time, Uranus is shaking Tesla’s founding chart (also a Cancer Sun), destabilizing its foundation. This isn’t a minor blip. It’s the kind of transit that demands reinvention—or collapse. Musk isn’t just dealing with bad headlines. He’s being summoned to either grow deeper roots - or watch the empire he built start to hollow itself out.
Wizard’s Take:
You can launch rockets, but you can’t outrun your own reckoning. The cosmos doesn’t reward ego - it rewards evolution.
Heart Guidance:
If the fall of public idols unsettles you, breathe. Real leadership is rising - not from billionaires, but from quiet, steady hearts like yours. Be that leadership now.
🇺🇦 Ukraine: The Peace That Isn’t Peace
The news:
There’s been a lot of noise this week about new “peace talks” between Ukraine and Russia, but a closer look tells a different story. The proposed deal, floated quietly by U.S. intermediaries, would require Ukraine to give up claims to Russian-occupied territories like Crimea in exchange for a ceasefire.
On paper, it sounds like an end to fighting. In reality, it would mean Ukraine surrendering large parts of its sovereignty to appease global powers eager to "move on" from the war. President Zelensky has so far refused, standing firm despite mounting pressure from international allies. But the message behind the scenes is clear: For many of the world's power brokers, it was never really about freedom. It was about control.
The astrology:
Pluto’s move into Aquarius is pulling back the veil on global alliances. Aquarius governs ideals, collective humanity, and truth, and Pluto reveals where those ideals have been traded for convenience. Ukraine’s natal chart (Sun in Virgo) is under siege from Neptune and Saturn, testing its endurance, clarity, and spiritual resolve.
Meanwhile, Pluto’s slow shift across the world stage demands a question of every nation involved: Do you stand by your professed values, even when it’s inconvenient?
Or do you bend the knee for comfort?
The outcome here isn’t just about land. It’s about whether the new world will be built on authenticity, or on backroom deals.
Wizard’s Take:
Peace without justice is just a pause between battles. The real borders aren't drawn on maps - they're drawn in the soul.
Heart Guidance:
If this stirs grief, honor it. But don't surrender to despair. Freedom is bigger than territory. It lives in the soul - and it cannot be taken. Guard your own sovereignty fiercely.
🌍 Earthquakes Everywhere: The Ground Is Speaking
The news:
The Earth made itself known this week, and not quietly. On April 23, a 6.2 magnitude earthquake struck Istanbul, rattling buildings, injuring hundreds, and triggering aftershocks across the region. That same day, Australia’s east coast shook with a 4.6 quake near the Hunter Valley, waking up half of Sydney in the middle of the night.
These weren't isolated events: seismic activity has been increasing globally throughout April, with powerful quakes also reported in Taiwan, Japan, and parts of South America. The message is clear: the Earth is under pressure, and it’s moving.
The astrology:
We are in the aftershock window of the April solar eclipse, and eclipse energy always stirs tectonic movement. Mars in Cancer (earth and roots) has been stirring emotional and physical unrest. Pluto and Uranus - the twin gods of disruption - are simultaneously active: Pluto transforming structures, Uranus triggering sudden shocks in Taurus (the sign of Earth and material stability).
When all these energies converge, it’s not chaos. It’s a necessary release. The Earth isn’t angry. She’s adjusting.
Wizard’s Take:
When the ground shakes, it's not chaos - it's truth breaking free. The Earth knows what needs to fall.
Heart Guidance:
If this unsettles you, place your feet on the Earth.
Feel her heartbeat under yours.
You are not fragile.
You are part of the living world, and you are built to rise.
🏛️ Ron DeSantis and the $10 Million Shadow
The news:
New questions erupted this week around Florida Governor Ron DeSantis and his wife Casey after reports surfaced that $10 million from a Medicaid settlement was redirected to the “Hope Florida Foundation” - an initiative Casey oversees. From there, it allegedly flowed into political nonprofits aimed at fighting marijuana legalization measures that could have hurt DeSantis’s political agenda. The money was intended for public good, not political warfare, and the lack of transparency has sparked growing concern over blurred lines between government, charity, and personal ambition.
It’s yet another crack in the public trust at a time when trust is already hanging by a thread.
The astrology:
Pluto in Aquarius isn't just exposing global empires - it’s pulling back the curtain on individual leaders too. Aquarius governs collective resources and shared truth. Pluto here demands transparency and punishes manipulation. DeSantis’s chart shows key Virgo placements under Neptune's confusing influence right now - a recipe for misjudgment, blurred ethics, and slow unmasking.
This isn’t just a scandal. It’s a karmic exposure.
Wizard’s Take:
When you use public trust for private gain, you don't just lose the people's faith.
You lose your own foundation.
Heart Guidance:
Don't fall into cynicism.
Let false leaders fall.
Focus instead on becoming the kind of leader you wish existed - humble, clear, and true.
⚖️ Trump vs the Courts: When the Center Stops Holding
The news:
This week, a U.S. federal court ordered Trump's administration to return a man they unlawfully deported to El Salvador. The Trump camp’s response? Ignore the ruling. No action plan. No respect for judicial authority. Just open defiance, as if the court’s ruling simply didn’t matter.
It’s another sign that in this chapter of empire decline, power is answering only to itself, and the old structures meant to keep it in check are struggling to hold.
The astrology:
Pluto in Aquarius is testing all collective agreements: the social contracts, the legal structures, the unwritten rules. Trump’s personal chart (Gemini Sun, Sagittarius Moon) is currently under pressure from both Saturn (accountability) and Neptune (illusion vs reality). His ability to spin reality is weakening. But his defiance is also becoming more reckless, because deep down, even he feels the tide turning.
Wizard’s Take:
A law ignored is a law undone. The collapse doesn’t start with chaos - it starts with silence.
Heart Guidance:
Anchor yourself in higher laws this week: dignity, kindness, truth.
You are not powerless, even when systems fail.
The integrity you live still matters.
⚖️ A Judge Arrested: Cracks in the Judicial Wall
The news:
Shock rippled through the American legal system this week when a sitting judge, Hannah Dugan of Milwaukee County, was arrested by the FBI. She allegedly helped a defendant - an undocumented immigrant - escape custody through a private door inside the courthouse. The charges are serious: obstruction of justice and abuse of position. At a time when trust in institutions is already threadbare, the sight of a judge in handcuffs sent a ripple of disbelief through the public consciousness.
The astrology:
Pluto’s retrograde journey through early Aquarius is unearthing deep fractures inside institutions we once believed were solid. Aquarius rules law, governance, social contracts. Pluto here is acting like a cosmic x-ray, exposing weaknesses not to punish, but to heal through truth. Justice isn’t disappearing. It’s being purified.
Wizard’s Take:
When those meant to guard the law break the law, the walls do not fall with a roar.
They fall with a whisper.
Heart Guidance:
This week, don’t look outside for perfect systems.
Live justice in your own words, choices, and interactions.
The new world begins with how we carry ourselves.
💸 America’s Decline: Now Boarding for Nowhere
The news:
American Airlines, Delta, and other major carriers slashed flights this week, citing a sharp drop in travel demand. At the same time, new tariffs are pushing prices up, industries are quietly bleeding jobs, and signs of a deeper recession are flashing red.
International tourism to the U.S. is also collapsing - fewer people are willing to navigate the chaos, the cost, or the fear. The myth of the “land of dreams” is fading.
Not in one loud moment, but in a thousand quiet decisions to go elsewhere.
The astrology:
The United States is midstream in its Pluto Return (exact since 2022), a once-in-248-year transit that demands karmic reckoning. Neptune is also squaring the U.S. Mars, clouding judgment and action. The empire isn’t being attacked - it’s surrendering its own soul. Pluto doesn’t destroy what’s real. It only destroys what can no longer hold.
Wizard’s Take:
The empire isn’t falling because it was attacked. It’s falling because it forgot who it was - and sold the rest for scraps.
Heart Guidance:
Freedom never lived in governments.
It lives in you.
Carry it forward quietly, no matter what the headlines say.
📰 The Media Cracks Open: First Blood at 60 Minutes
The news:
A veteran producer at 60 Minutes resigned this week, citing mounting pressure to "shape" coverage favorably toward Trump’s administration. The producer didn’t make a scene. He just walked, choosing integrity over access. It’s a small story that signals a bigger truth: the old world of "trusted journalism" is eroding from within.
The astrology:
Pluto in Aquarius rules the collective mind, media, and truth systems. As Pluto moves through Aquarius, everything built on manipulation or quiet corruption is being exposed. The trusted gatekeepers are losing their grip - and new voices are quietly rising in the cracks.
Wizard’s Take:
When truth becomes a product, trust becomes a casualty. The spell is breaking, and the storytellers are running for the exits.
Heart Guidance:
Trust your own discernment more than ever.
You are capable of navigating truth without intermediaries.
📱 Pete Hegseth: Signal-Gate and the Cost of Confusion
The news:
Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth is spiraling deeper into scandal after new revelations that he leaked classified airstrike plans - not once, but twice - via private Signal chats. Recipients included family members and a lawyer, none of whom held security clearance. Pentagon investigations are heating up, and key staffers are quietly resigning around him. I wrote about this earlier in the week.
The astrology:
Hegseth’s Gemini Sun and Mercury are under Saturn’s heavy square right now: consequences, restriction, exposure. Neptune is fogging his judgment, making mistakes seem smaller than they are - until the fallout hits. It’s not just bad behavior.
It’s karmic collapse.
Wizard’s Take:
When you confuse loyalty with leadership, you lose both. The downfall always starts with the ones you thought would protect you.
Heart Guidance:
Lead yourself this week.
Quietly.
Steadily.
Without fanfare, but with full integrity.
What to Watch For: The Weeks Ahead
More leaders resigning or being exposed
Economic shocks (market swings, layoffs)
More earth movements (quakes, storms)
Truth-tellers stepping into the light
A growing divide between fear and love - stay rooted in love
You are not here to collapse.
You are here to steady the field.
You are here to shine.
Yes, the world is shifting.
Yes, the old systems are failing.
Yes, it can feel heavy and frightening if you let it.
But remember:
You are not here to collapse.
You are here to remember that love was always the real foundation - and love cannot be shaken by these storms.
This week, let the crumbling remind you of what was never real.
Let the headlines sharpen your clarity - not steal your peace.
Let every falling tower be a cue to come back to your heart,
again and again and again.
Stay steady.
Stay clear.
Stay in love.
The new world is being born through you.
As we ride these waves of transformation, let’s remember our light. We’ve got the universe on our side. And in the darkest of times, it’s up to us to shine brighter (hence, my Daily Lighthouse reminders for centring ourselves and sending our light into the world).
Stay grounded, stay open, and keep sending your light into the world.
See you next Sunday - until then, stay kind, calm and curious.
