🎈🇺🇸 Low Energy, Lower Spirits: Trump’s Birthday Parade Falls Flat
On June 14 (his 79th birthday) Donald Trump hosted a large-scale military parade in Washington, D.C. to mark the 250th anniversary of the U.S. Army. The event featured over 6,600 soldiers, 150 military vehicles, and dozens of aircraft, all marching and flying along Constitution Avenue in a show of military strength. Dubbed unofficially by critics as a “birthday parade”, the event was heavily promoted and expected to draw crowds of over 200,000, but footage revealed sparse attendance in some areas, with empty patches along the motorcade route and a notably subdued mood among MAGA supporters.
The parade drew sharp criticism over its estimated $25–45 million price tag and its timing, with many seeing it as a politicized spectacle that blended national military pride with personal aggrandizement. Critics pointed out the irony that slashing Medicare, education, and social security in the name of austerity, then blowing tens of millions on a birthday parade felt less like leadership and more like “let them eat cake”.
🪐 Astro Insight
Born under a Gemini Sun with Leo Rising, Trump thrives on spectacle and adoration, but this birthday landed under a disruptive Mars–Uranus square, an astrological red flag for ego collisions, unexpected embarrassments, and power plays that fall flat. Leo energy wants to be king; Uranus reminds you that you’re not. With Jupiter now in Cancer and Pluto retrograding through Aquarius, the collective isn’t clapping on cue anymore - it's watching closely, and questioning more.
❤️ Heart Guidance
Sometimes the loudest message comes in silence. When the crowd thins, when the cheers fade, when the mirror reflects something unflattering, that’s where truth lives. Whether you’re in the spotlight or the shadows today, remember: real worth isn’t proven by applause. It’s shaped in how you handle the quiet.
👑 “No Kings” Protests Sweep the Nation
While tanks rolled through Washington for Trump’s birthday parade this weekend, the streets of over 2,000 U.S. cities told a different story. From Seattle to Miami, crowds gathered under the banner of “No Kings”, a nationwide protest movement rejecting authoritarianism, political idolization, and the weaponization of military might for personal power.
In places like Chicago, Portland, Atlanta, Fort Lauderdale, Hollywood and even Florida, protesters carried handmade signs and chanted slogans denouncing cults of personality and the erosion of democratic norms. Despite some scattered arrests, most demonstrations remained peaceful, focused, and creatively defiant. Social media lit up with images of empty parade streets in D.C. juxtaposed against rivers of protesters elsewhere, reinforcing the protest’s key message that America has no kings, and it never will.
🪐 Astro Insight
The protests erupted under the Mars–Uranus square - a revolutionary alignment that fuels rebellion, challenges authority, and disrupts the status quo. Mars in Leo (the King) clashing with Uranus in Taurus (the People) couldn’t be more symbolic. The people weren’t just marching against a man - they were marching against the myth of unquestioned power. This is collective energy breaking the spell.
❤️ Heart Guidance
Not everyone protests in the streets. Some hold the line in silence, anchoring peace while others shout for change. Both paths matter. In a time of rising division and staged dominance, remember that your quiet defiance, your truth spoken gently and your refusal to bow to false idols are forms of protest too. Whatever you do, do it awake, and with love.
🚨 Vehicles Ram Into ‘No Kings’ Protesters in Virginia and California
What began as a powerful, peaceful expression of dissent turned violent in some corners of the country. During the nationwide “No Kings” protests on June 14, multiple incidents of vehicular attacks were reported.
In Culpeper, Virginia, a 21-year-old man was arrested after allegedly driving his SUV into a crowd of protesters as they were dispersing through a business parking lot, while in San Francisco, a separate incident saw a vehicle plow through a group of marchers, injuring at least four people.
While most of the 2,000+ “No Kings” demonstrations remained peaceful and organized, these attacks cast a shadow over a day defined by resistance to authoritarianism and political spectacle.
🪐 Astro Insight
These violent jolts occurred under the exact Mars–Uranus square - a cosmic flashpoint known for sudden outbursts, aggression, and volatile power clashes. Mars in Leo brings raw ego to the surface, while Uranus in Taurus shakes the ground beneath our values. This is protest energy meeting backlash. It’s the old world lashing out as its grip loosens.
❤️ Heart Guidance
When fear drives through the crowd, love must move faster. The instinct to destroy what challenges your worldview is as old as empire, but so is the courage to stand your ground. If you’re feeling shaken today, know that your presence matters, your voice echoes, and even in the face of violence, the collective heart does not back down.
🕯️ Minnesota Lawmakers Targeted in Political Shootings
America woke up to horror on June 14 as two Democratic leaders in Minnesota were brutally targeted in overnight shootings. Representative Melissa Hortman and her husband were killed in their home. Senator John Hoffman and his wife were also ambushed in a separate attack - both survived but remain hospitalized with multiple gunshot wounds. Their daughter was saved only by her mother’s instinct to shield her from the bullets.
The alleged gunman, Vance Luther Boelter, was reportedly disguised as a police officer and left behind a manifesto naming over 70 political targets, including Democratic lawmakers and abortion rights advocates. Authorities are calling this a domestic political assassination, and a nationwide manhunt is now underway.
🪐 Astro Insight
The violence erupted under the exact Mars–Uranus square - one of the most combustible alignments in astrology. Mars governs anger and action; Uranus triggers disruption, often violently. With Mars in Leo (ego, dominance) and Uranus in Taurus (collective values), this was a week where individual rage tried to overpower communal safety. The sky mirrored the headlines: impulsive acts, shocking reversals, and deep tremors in the system.
❤️ Heart Guidance
When the unthinkable becomes real, numbness is a form of protection. But don’t shut down. Stay present. Grieve loudly. Speak clearly. These acts of violence are not just attacks on individuals - they are assaults on democracy, dignity, and decency. And the only antidote to hate this brazen is a love just as brave.
☢️ Israel strikes Iran: The War We Hoped Wouldn’t Come
The fuse has officially been lit. This week, Israel launched a sweeping pre-dawn assault on Iran's nuclear and military sites, claiming Tehran was mere days from arming up. The strikes hit over 100 targets and reportedly killed top Iranian scientists and commanders. Iran’s reply was swift and searing: more than 150 missiles and 100 drones rained down on Israel, hitting military bases and city centers alike. The region now teeters on the edge of full-scale war, and the world holds its breath.
🪐 Astro Insight
Mars squared Uranus this week, and BOOM. This cosmic clash is a powder keg for surprise attacks, and right now it’s lighting up Israel’s and Iran’s charts like a warning flare. Uranus demands change, Mars demands action, and together they push nations toward decisions that can’t be undone. This isn’t just politics; it’s an eruption written in the stars. When war breaks out under sky signatures like this, there’s no easy off-ramp.
❤️ Heart Guidance
In moments like this, the soul aches for a different storyline. One where courage means restraint, and strength looks like listening. Hold space for the innocent - on all sides - whose lives are shattered by choices far beyond their control. Let grief deepen your resolve: not to harden, but to hope, to help, to heal. We need visionaries now, not just victors.
🧨 Constitutional Crisis in LA: Trump Sends Troops, Newsom Dares Arrest
The streets of Los Angeles turned into a standoff this week when over 2,000 National Guard troops stormed the city, ordered in by President Trump (without California’s consent) responding to protests over ICE raids. It’s the first time in over 60 years a U.S. president has overridden a state to deploy troops on its soil (the last time was Selma, Alabama….and we all know how that ended). Governor Gavin Newsom called it “unlawful” and “a direct assault on state sovereignty”. Protesters called it what it was: a takeover.
When Trump accused Newsom of “aiding criminals” and demanded his arrest, Newsom shot back: “Come after me. Arrest me. Let’s just get it over with, tough guy”. Trump doubled down, ordering another 2,000 troops into LA. Most sat idle in federal buildings - no orders, no supplies, just optics in fatigues. Newsom sued the administration, calling the move a blatant violation of the 10th Amendment and a federal overreach.
🪐 Astro Insight
Mars squaring Uranus this week brought the chaos, and the crackdown. It’s the kind of sky that sparks mutinies and surprise power plays. Saturn in Aries pushes top-down control. Trump’s Pluto-fueled ego clashed hard with Newsom’s Leo pride, but the bigger force here is Pluto in Aquarius demanding a reinvention of authority. Who rules when the rules break? Who owns the streets? Who writes the law? And what happens when the president declares war on a state?
❤️ Heart Guidance
This is a test of the republic’s spine (and ours). In a world where power can be wielded like a weapon or worn like a crown, stay awake to the difference. Look to leaders who serve, not seize. Your voice, your values and your vigilance all matter now more than ever. Pay attention to power grabs dressed as patriotism. The soul of a nation doesn’t break all at once - it bends under pressure, then snaps. Stand where your conscience won’t flinch.
🧨 Trump’s LA Troop Stunt Declared Unconstitutional
The courtroom just did what the streets couldn’t, and on June 14, federal Judge Charles Breyer formally struck down Trump’s deployment of over 4,000 National Guard troops to Los Angeles, ruling that the president had “exceeded his constitutional authority” by invoking the Insurrection Act without a clear rebellion or obstruction of law. In a scathing decision, Breyer warned that such unilateral action “bears troubling resemblance to monarchical overreach”.
The Justice Department scrambled to defend the move, but the judge wasn’t buying it. California officials hailed the ruling as a victory for state sovereignty and a rebuke of executive overreach. For Trump, it’s not just a legal setback - it’s a warning shot: the system, strained and bruised, is still willing to push back.
🪐 Astro Insight
Mars square Uranus at 29° is a cosmic “Do Not Cross” sign, and someone just blew through it. Mars stirs conflict, Uranus sparks revolt, and at the final degree of their signs, they bring decisions that stick. This legal showdown mirrors the sky: the old rules cracking, the future breaking through, messy and loud. We’re not just watching a court case - we’re witnessing a system test its own limits.
❤️ Heart Guidance
When power gets reckless, clarity becomes sacred. Don’t let fear fog your vision or fatigue silence your voice. This moment calls for steady courage, wise discernment, and fierce love - for law, for people, for possibility. Real change starts when enough of us say: not like this.
🧨 Senator Padilla Handcuffed: Presser Turns Political Powder Keg
What started as a DHS press conference turned into a constitutional crisis on camera. On June 12, Senator Alex Padilla (D-CA) was handcuffed and hauled off by federal agents after pressing Secretary Kristi Noem on the legality of Trump's troop surge in Los Angeles. Despite identifying himself, Padilla was restrained like a protester, not a sitting U.S. Senator. The scene sent shockwaves through Washington, fueling outrage over federal overreach and the silencing of dissent. California’s political clash with the Trump administration just got a new martyr, and a new flashpoint.
🪐 Astro Insight
This week’s sky wasn’t built for decorum. As planetary pressure builds, norms combust and roles reverse. The image of a sitting U.S. Senator in cuffs isn’t just shocking - it’s archetypal. The cosmos is throwing institutions into chaos labs, stress-testing how power is enforced and who gets silenced. These aren’t isolated outbursts. They’re signals from a sky cracking under the weight of suppressed truth, and from a system unsure who still holds the mic.
❤️ Heart Guidance
This is what collapse looks like - loud, disorienting, and unjust. But don’t be fooled: the louder the crackdown, the closer we are to the truth cracking through. Breathe deep. Stay grounded. And remember, real power doesn’t wear a badge - it speaks with conviction, stands its ground, and doesn’t flinch in the face of fear. History’s turning. Stay awake.
🚀 Elon Blinks: Musk Regrets Trump Tweets After Public Blowback
After days of pummelling Donald Trump online with with some truly outlandish tweets, Elon Musk suddenly hit reverse, tweeting that some of his posts were “unhelpful” and that he “regrets adding fuel to the fire”. It’s a rare moment of public self-correction from a man more famous for flamethrowers than apologies. Sources say legal risk and investor nerves may have nudged the about-face, which came just hours before a hush-hush meeting with major tech backers.
🪐 Astro Insight
This week’s sky favors sharp pivots and tactical silence, and that’s exactly what Musk served. With pressure mounting at both personal and cosmic levels, even serial disruptors recalibrate. But don’t mistake Elon’s apology for surrender. With Pluto activating his Aquarian placements and Jupiter entering Cancer, the game shifts from spectacle to survival. The megaphone might’ve been lowered, but the next play is already being calculated. I wrote about this in more detail HERE
❤️ Heart Guidance
It’s disheartening to watch people with platforms treat power like a plaything, but you don’t have to match their chaos. Guard your heart, not by hardening it, but by refusing to let foolishness define your worldview. Stay rooted in what’s real: integrity, clarity, care. Let the noise pass like weather, and keep choosing the kind of power that uplifts, not just disrupts.
🗳️ Zero Votes, Infinite Questions: Rockland's Election Anomaly
In a twist worthy of a political thriller, Rockland County, New York, is under the microscope after a lawsuit revealed that during the 2024 presidential election Kamala Harris received zero votes in districts where hundreds of voters supported Democratic Senator Kirsten Gillibrand, suggesting an unusual voting pattern.
The lawsuit, spearheaded by election integrity group SMART Legislation, has been greenlit by New York Supreme Court Judge Rachel Tanguay, moving the case into the discovery phase with a full hand recount on the horizon. The plaintiffs argue that these anomalies could indicate significant discrepancies in the vote-counting process, potentially impacting the legitimacy of the election results in the county (though no indication has been given that this would change the overall outcome of the national election result if proven true).
🪐 Astro Insight
The lawsuit lands under Mercury square Neptune - a fog-heavy transit where facts blur, narratives twist, and truth feels slippery, stirring emotional confusion and spiritual distrust. Add Pluto in Aquarius dismantling collective systems, and we’re not just looking at voting irregularities - we’re peering into the soul of a system unsure whether it's functioning or failing. This isn't just about ballots. It’s about belief. The question now is: do we trust the machine, or do we investigate the ghosts inside it? I did a deep dive on the astrology around these election interference claims - you can read it HERE
❤️ Heart Guidance
When headlines shake your trust, hold steady. It’s easy to spiral in the swirl of accusations and anomalies, but your power lies in where you place your focus. Remember what matters: integrity, participation, community. Let the noise remind you why clarity is sacred. Stay awake, not alarmed, and keep your heart aligned with what democracy is meant to serve: the people.
📰 🚫 The Verdict Stands: Trump Committed Sexual Assault
On Friday, the 2nd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals denied Donald Trump’s attempt to overturn the $5 million verdict that found him liable for sexually abusing and defaming writer E. Jean Carroll. The 8–2 decision upholds the 2023 jury’s finding - a civil judgment confirming that Trump committed sexual assault under New York law. Trump’s claims of an unfair trial, including objections to the use of the infamous “Access Hollywood” tape, were rejected. The two dissenting votes came from Trump-appointed judges, but the majority made it clear: no need to rehash the evidence. Trump remains legally accountable, and Carroll says she’s “very pleased” with the outcome.
🪐 Astro Insight
This ruling came under the firebrand Mars square Uranus - a volatile alignment that detonates long-buried tensions and forces a break from the past. Mars in Leo is loud, proud, and craving control; Uranus in Taurus doesn’t care. It tears down false stability and demands a reckoning with reality. For Trump, a Leo Rising who thrives on bravado, this is a karmic crack in the facade. Power (Mars) meets disruption (Uranus), and no amount of spin can stop the system from delivering a shock.
This isn’t just a political blow - it’s a cosmic signal: even kings must answer to the people.
❤️ Heart Guidance
When justice lands, it rarely feels tidy. For some, it brings closure. For others, it brings fury. But moments like this matter, not because they fix the past, but because they restore faith that truth still has a place in our story. Let this verdict remind you that your voice matters. Your pain matters. And no one - not even a president - is beyond the reach of consequence.
🧵 Schiff Shows Up: Trump’s Union Crackdown Draws Fire
In a move straight out of Nixon’s Greatest Hits, President Trump had David Huerta - head of SEIU California - arrested during an immigration protest this week, charged with allegedly obstructing ICE agents during a raid. The backlash was immediate. Huerta was hauled into court in Los Angeles, only to be joined by a very public show of force: Senator Adam Schiff, flanked by fellow Democrats Alex Padilla and Chuck Schumer, showed up at the bail hearing and called the arrest “textbook political retaliation”.
🪐 Astro Insight
The astrology this week is a live wire, electrifying every act of defiance. But Schiff’s courthouse stand doesn’t just echo protest - it channels something deeper. With Jupiter freshly in Cancer, moral authority is being redefined, not as dominance, but as presence. And Pluto in Aquarius continues to surface hidden power plays, pushing hidden agendas into public light. It’s not just a political move. It’s a mythic one: the quiet force that refuses to flinch.
❤️ Heart Guidance
When justice is on trial, presence becomes protest. You don’t need a megaphone to make a difference - sometimes just standing where it matters most is enough. Let this moment remind you that showing up with your whole self, with truth in your spine and care in your chest, can shift the atmosphere. Be the steady witness. Be the quiet force that says, I see what’s happening, and I’m not looking away.
🌊 Greta Deported After Gaza-Bound Aid Ship Intercepted
On June 9, Israeli forces intercepted a Gaza-bound aid ship carrying 12 activists, including Greta Thunberg and French MEP Rima Hassan. The vessel was delivering baby formula, rice, and medical supplies to civilians under siege. Activists say the ship was seized in international waters and towed to Ashdod. Greta and three others accepted immediate deportation; the rest, including Hassan, remain detained. Human rights groups have condemned the seizure, calling it unlawful. Israel dismissed the flotilla as a “publicity stunt”, but the optics are stark: aid workers in cuffs, a blockade under scrutiny, and a global spotlight intensifying.
🪐 Astro Insight
This moment carries the bruising weight of Venus square Pluto - a transit that exposes where love becomes leverage, and where humanitarian gestures trigger power plays. With Venus in Taurus and Pluto in Aquarius, we’re witnessing a confrontation between care and control, softness and strategy. This wasn’t just an interception. It was an indictment of who gets to help, who gets silenced, and what happens when compassion crosses political lines. The beauty of defiance met the shadow of dominance. And the world watched.
❤️ Heart Guidance
You don’t need to sail into danger to live with courage. Bearing witness, holding empathy, and refusing to look away - that’s power. When helpers are punished and care is criminalized, your attention becomes a form of resistance. Let your compassion be deliberate. Let your outrage be rooted in love. In a world that tries to harden us, choose to remain human on purpose.
🇨🇦 Carney’s War Chest: Canada Breaks Rank with U.S. Over Defense
On June 10, Canadian PM Mark Carney stunned allies by fast-tracking a massive military expansion, pledging to hit NATO’s 2% defense spending target this year, five years ahead of schedule. Billions are now flowing into homegrown submarines, drones, and surveillance tech, as Canada moves to break its long reliance on U.S. defense. This all happens in Canada amidst rising tensions with Trump. After the White House doubled steel tariffs and made veiled threats to Canadian sovereignty, Carney struck back, not with tweets, but tectonic shifts. Canada’s done playing polite; it’s playing for keeps.
🪐 Astro Insight
As Mars in Leo squares Uranus in Taurus, the cosmos is shouting “break away”. This is high-voltage energy - dramatic, defiant, and impossible to ignore. Leo brings bold declarations of sovereignty; Taurus digs in and refuses to yield. When these two clash, it sparks radical independence and irreversible action. Carney’s defense pivot isn’t just political - it’s planetary. We’re entering an era where self-reliance is no longer optional. Old alliances are being tested. Power is being redefined.
❤️ Heart Guidance
Sometimes claiming your power looks like building your own defense. It doesn’t mean you’re gearing up for war - it means you’re done depending on those who’ve held the leash. Sovereignty starts when you stop asking for permission. This week, stand taller. Set clearer lines. Own your role as protector of your own peace.
🛡️ NATO Sounds Alarm: Europe Must Prepare for Threats
At a high-stakes meeting in Rome, newly appointed NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte issued a stark warning: Europe is not ready. Citing escalating threats from Russia, Rutte urged member nations to dramatically increase defense spending, strengthen sanctions, and bolster support for Ukraine. What’s raising eyebrows isn’t just the present crisis, but the timeline. Officials highlighted 2029 to 2030 as a particularly vulnerable window for European security, sparking concern that this isn’t just precaution, it’s premonition.
🪐 Astro Insight
With Pluto entering Aquarius and inching toward critical degrees over the next five years, global alliances are being reshaped. NATO’s pressure campaign reflects a larger archetypal shift: the battle between centralized power and decentralized resistance. As outer planets stack up for a historic 2029 alignment, this window could mark a geopolitical tipping point.
❤️ Heart Guidance
War drums are easy to hear. But what if this is also a chance to rewrite the story? Security through solidarity, not just firepower. May we prepare not just for defense, but for peace.
🇺🇸 RFK Jr. Purges CDC Panel: Every Vaccine Advisor Fired
In a stunning and polarizing move, Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. fired all 17 members of the CDC’s vaccine advisory committee this week. Known formally as the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP), the panel has long shaped America’s vaccine guidelines. Its total dismissal signals a radical reshaping of public health policy, and it’s sending shockwaves through the medical establishment. Public health experts are warning this could erode trust in vaccines and risk outbreaks of preventable diseases.
🪐 Astro Insight
This bombshell landed under (you guessed it) the Mars–Uranus square at 29°, a pressure-cooker configuration that forces decisive, disruptive action. Mars rules conflict and assertion. Uranus is rebellion, revolution, the shocking plot twist. At the final degree of fixed signs, the energy is urgent, combustible, and irreversible. Expect more power moves like this: unilateral, divisive, and driven by a belief that the system is broken and must be rebuilt from scratch.
❤️ Heart Guidance
In times like this, it’s easy to pick sides. But the deeper invitation is to ask: What is true health? Is it control, consensus, or choice? Stay grounded in facts, but don’t bypass your intuition. In a world reshaping its relationship to medicine, your clarity is medicine too. Speak carefully. Listen deeply. Let your truth be both informed and humane.
💥 Air India Flight 171 Crashes - 242 Dead
In one of the deadliest aviation disasters in recent years, Air India Flight 171 experienced engine failure mid-ascent before plummeting into a residential complex, killing 230 passengers and 12 crew members. Authorities are still investigating what triggered the mechanical malfunction. Miraculously, one passenger survived - an unthinkable glimmer of hope amid overwhelming loss. Emergency services continue to comb through the wreckage, with local hospitals overwhelmed and national mourning underway.
🪐 Astro Insight
While this week’s skies were electrified by Mars square Uranus, Saturn in early Aries is also quietly tightening its grip, reintroducing themes of control, limits, and painful lessons learned the hard way. This tragedy is a sorrowful convergence of astro signals - an abrupt rupture that leaves us all searching for meaning in the smoke.
❤️ Heart Guidance
Hold space today for the fragility of life. So many never made it home. Let the miracle of one survivor remind you that even in the rubble, life fights to continue. We must honor the dead not just with grief, but with renewed reverence for what remains.
🇦🇹 Graz School Shooting: Austria’s Deadliest Rampage
On June 10, horror unfolded in the city of Graz, Austria, when a former student opened fire at his old school, killing 11 people and injuring more than 30 others. The attacker, reportedly carrying multiple weapons, moved through classrooms and hallways in a coordinated spree before being apprehended by police. This is now considered Austria’s deadliest mass shooting in modern history. The country - known for its relative peace - is reeling. Students, teachers, and families are in shock. Grief has spilled into the streets, with candlelight vigils and nationwide calls for both healing and reform.
🪐 Astro Insight:
This week’s skies are charged with raw, destabilizing force: Mars in Leo brings dramatic, attention-seeking violence; Uranus in Taurus disrupts stability and security. Together, they represent sudden, shocking acts that shatter the ordinary, like a school day turned war zone. The symbolism cuts deep: a young man (Mars) trying to reclaim power in the most catastrophic way, through rupture (Uranus) rather than healing. This is the astrology of breaking points, and it demands our presence, not our numbness.
❤️ Heart Guidance:
Send strength to every student still afraid to go back to school. To every parent who didn’t get to say goodbye that morning. To a country now questioning its safety and innocence. May this not become “just another tragedy”. May it be a line in the sand.
May we choose life, again and again.
📉 World Bank: Global Growth at 60-Year Low
In a stark warning this week, the World Bank declared that the 2020s are on track to become the weakest decade for global economic growth since the 1960s. Its latest forecast pegs 2025’s global growth at just 2.3% - a dismal figure for an interconnected world still grappling with post-pandemic disruption.
They say the culprits are trade tensions, geopolitical fragmentation, policy instability, and lingering aftershocks from COVID-19. Developing nations, in particular, face mounting debt and diminished prospects for recovery. Even advanced economies aren’t immune, with inflation battles and investment stagnation dragging heavily on momentum.
🪐 Astro Insight:
The World Bank’s warning lands just as the Sun squares the lunar nodes - a karmic fork in the road. This is choice-point astrology: the past clashing with the path forward. With Saturn grinding through early Aries, the global economy isn’t just slowing, it’s shedding outdated skins. Growth can no longer be measured by GDP alone. The cosmos is calling for a new blueprint - one built on sustainability, not scarcity. The pressure isn’t just financial. It’s existential.
❤️ Heart Guidance:
The system is tired. Maybe we are too. But contraction is not collapse - it’s a call to rest, reset, and realign. What if less really could mean more? What if this slowdown is the womb of something wiser?
⚖️ Judge Tosses Baldoni’s $400M Defamation Suit
Justin Baldoni’s high-profile defamation case got tossed this week. On June 9, a federal judge dismissed his $400 million lawsuit against Blake Lively, Ryan Reynolds, and The New York Times, ruling that Lively’s sexual harassment complaint was legally protected under litigation privilege. The system doesn’t weigh whether her claims were true, only that she had the right to make them in a formal complaint. His separate $250M case against the Times also got iced. The one thread still hanging is a potential breach-of-contract claim. He has until June 23 to try again.
🪐 Astro Insight:
This ruling cracked under Venus square Pluto - an alignment that rips the veil off reputation and reveals what power really costs. With Venus in Taurus and Pluto in Aquarius, it’s comfort versus exposure, curated image versus collective judgment.
For Justin Baldoni, the cosmos made it personal: transiting Pluto is sitting directly on his Midheaven, the most public point in his chart. This wasn’t just a legal loss - it was a reputational reckoning. Add in Venus squaring his natal Pluto in Scorpio, and we’re watching a karmic unraveling in real time, where attempts to control the narrative only deepen the rupture.
Meanwhile, Blake Lively’s chart tells a different story: Saturn tested her, but Venus trining her Pluto kept her grounded, resolute, and publicly intact. One image cracked. Another held. But Pluto’s not finished. In Aquarius, it keeps turning the gears behind the scenes. This may look like the end, but in karmic terms, it’s just the overture to something deeper.
❤️ Heart Guidance:
If your instincts are conflicted, that’s okay. This isn’t just a legal drama - it’s a story about who gets believed, how stories get framed, and what truth really costs. In a world where image often eclipses substance, stay sharp. Trust isn’t owed - it’s earned. Keep your compass pointed inward.
What to Watch For: The Weeks Ahead
The Mars-Uranus aftershock isn’t done.
The square peaks on June 15, but the fallout rolls on. Expect more outbursts, meltdowns, and “no going back” moments. This is breakaway energy - watch for resignations, splinter groups, or alliances that snap overnight. And if someone goes missing from the public eye, that’s a sign too.Jupiter in Cancer stirs nationalistic tides.
As the planet of expansion moves through the sign of homeland, heritage, and protection, expect intensifying debates over borders, belonging, and who gets to be “defended”. More headlines about immigration crackdowns, military escalations, or emotional appeals wrapped in flags.Blake vs Baldoni may not be over.
Pluto is camped on Baldoni’s Midheaven and just getting warmed up. Reputation sagas rarely end on the first ruling. Expect media spins, strategic silence, or another shoe to drop, possibly around June 23. Meanwhile, Lively’s sky supports quiet consolidation. She doesn’t need to speak; the system is speaking for her.Trump's grip keeps slipping.
The Full Moon lit up his chart last week, and this week’s troop surge stunt may backfire hard. Legal blockades, Senate flashpoints, or state rebellion moments are possible. Watch for constitutional drama that turns into spectacle…..then into court orders.Financial systems are rattling.
Sun square Nodes (June 13) and Mercury stirring emotional markets could signal a karmic financial flashpoint. Digital currency disruption, AI-trading fallout, or scandal around economic data isn’t just likely - it’s karmically timed.Whistleblowers and leaks are brewing.
We’re entering a window where hidden truths won’t stay hidden. Whether it’s a senator with a wire, a federal agent with regrets, or a viral clip that breaks the silence, the next truth wave is loading. Especially watch June 17–24 for document drops or narrative flips.The Earth keeps talking.
Mars shifts into Virgo next week and immediately hits earthquake-prone degrees. Volcanic or seismic activity is likely, but so are infrastructure failures and natural warning signs. This is a cosmic "stress fracture" moment - our systems (and literal ground) are cracking where they’ve been under silent strain.
The world didn’t just escalate this week - it exposed itself.
Power got loud.
Systems snapped.
The courtroom became a karmic stage.
This wasn’t chaos for its own sake.
It was truth breaking its silence.
We are witnessing the old world flinch.
Its rules unravel.
Its control scripts glitch.
But beneath the sirens and the headlines, something deeper is stirring….
A reset….
A remembering….
A return to what the soul always knew:
power without humanity collapses.
The future can’t be built on fear - it has to be built on presence.
So if your heart feels heavy, let it.
You’re not broken - you’re being re-sensitized.
To grief.
To goodness.
To what matters.
Let the rebellion teach you reverence.
Let the ruptures clear space for what’s real.
Let the fire be the forge that calls your integrity to the surface.
Because this isn’t the end of the world.
It’s the end of the illusion that it was working.
And in the rubble of that illusion, you’re still here.
Breathing. Feeling. Seeing.
Keep your heart open.
Keep your soul anchored.
The new world doesn’t rise from perfect plans.
It rises from people who refuse to shut down their light just because the sky is storming.
You are one of them.
Hold the line.
Carry the signal.
The future is listening.
(And if you need some help holding the line or finding the signal, come join me in the Daily Lighthouse. I’ll be there, shining each day with you.)
See you next Sunday - until then, stay kind, calm and curious.
Wow this Mars-Uranus square is NO JOKE! I honestly have no words for what's happened this past week and over the weekend, especially yesterday with the 2 reps in Minnesota being shot and passing away😢. But Minnesota still showing out at their protests good for them! That gives me hope🩵. And reading about the school shooting in a European country that was a shock like WHAT that sort of stuff doesn't normally happen there!
Definitely need to do some extra cleansing and maybe some protection work because if this isn't over yet who knows what can happen. I wanna stay aware yet grounded.
ahhhhhh... "where courage means restraint, and strength looks like listening. Hold space for the innocent - on all sides - whose lives are shattered by choices far beyond their control. Let grief deepen your resolve: not to harden, but to hope, to help, to heal. We need visionaries now, not just victors." Yes to that! Thank you!
