Bravo! This was such a great synopsis of the week. I do love the Trump as Nero fiddling on the ashes as Rome fell. So appropriate. I’ve always known that we’ve had to have everything scrubbed down to the dirt. I really didn’t realize it would have to be so cruel. Even though this is a very difficult time to witness, I know with my full heart that we are rising into something that is good, collective and coherent.

It’s all I can ever think when I see Trump’s latest antics - Nero fiddling while Rome’s ablaze! History repeats, and rhymes. Yes this is a cruel time, and somehow what makes the cruelty worse is so much of it is borne of just plain stupidity. But this is all part of the rot rising for reckoning. We can’t deal with what we cannot see. Up come all the wounds for healing. Onwards!

I discovered your writing soon after I discovered Substack I’m May of this year. I knew nothing of astrology except the excerpts I read in magazines as a teen. A friend of mine hinted that understanding what was coming—through astrology—has helped her find her footing during this tumultuous time in our country. Your writing has done exactly that for me.

Your explanations of what’s happening in our nation and world have brought me comfort. As strange as that sounds, armed with knowledge, I have had the opportunity to prepare for what is yet to come. What this looks like is recognizing what battles I can and cannot fight. It’s meant gaining altitude in the way I’m responding to current events. It’s also meant consciously choosing to become more self-sufficient, while at the same time encouraging deeper connections within our communities, greater compassion towards one another, and belief that goodness still exists.

You write: “…November brings the backlash, December rips open the shadow he’s tried to bury - the scandals, the secrets, the files that never stay sealed. January throws him into collision with the truth, and by February, the stage lights dim as the same cycle that made him king demands its own pound of flesh.” Knowing that karma is coming brings me peace. At the same time, I fully understand that the battle for the soul of our nation is a 20-year venture, most likely entailing the duration of my remaining time on the planet. I’m all in.

“For two thousand years, humanity has knelt at the altar of belief - in gods, in kings, in money, in men who promise salvation. That age is ending. The next belongs not to the believers, but to the knowers - to those willing to see through illusion, question authority, and anchor power in shared truth instead of spectacle.”

Amen.

I’m so glad you found your way here so we can seek wisdom from the stars together. It really is very helpful to have a map at times like this, isn’t it! Just knowing that things are falling part for a reason, as part of a cycle, and it’s not the end, it’s just an evolution, the turning of the wheel. I’m so glad this wisdom brings you comfort - it comforts me too. The stars really are our friends. xx
