When a full Moon occurs, the Moon reflects the light of the Sun back onto itself, thus revealing its shadow side which the Moon then implores the Sun to release. In this case, the Jupiter-ruled Sun’s shadow often includes the tendency toward hubris, or arrogance. 
And, since Jupiter often represents the “king,” “ruler,” or “leader,” while the Moon often rules “the people,” it’s easy to put this into a current context in the U.S. as its president tries to gerrymander his way to hubristically maintain future control over those living here.
Yesterday, as the Gemini Full Moon perfected at 13’04” Gemini at 3:14 p.m. PT & 6:14 p.m. ET on December 4, the Supreme Court announced its decision to let stand the Texas state gerrymander that would give its GOP five more U.S. House Representatives in the 2026 midterm elections.
What’s interesting about this particular Gemini Full Moon is that its squares the transiting mean nodal axis’s Virgo South Node & Pisces North Node—which urges us to move way from trying to control everyone & everything & to let go & let it flow.
The tension of this Gemini Full Moon thus creates a mutable grand cross, denoting a shift in the karmic axis as the heart (Moon) & the mind (Sun) cry out for integration. This combines with Mars in Sagittarius’s approaching square to Saturn in Pisces, which perfects December 8, & portends a period of irritability & frustration, & cautions us to work concentratedly & carefully rather than succumbing to despair. 
While grand water trine formed between Mercury in Scorpio, Jupiter in Cancer, & Saturn & Neptune in Pisces at this Gemini Full Moon is touted as a way to get more deeply in touch with our feelings, it can also blind us to the emotional plight of others. 
That’s because a grand water trine is subjective rather than objective. And as such, it can cause us to feel sorrier for ourselves than for others. However, awareness of this tendency now can save us from becoming emotionally immune to suffering of others.
I CAN SEE CLEARLY NOW AS NEPTUNE STATIONS DIRECT IN PISCES
The latter is potentially more true than the former, given that Neptune--the planet of illusion, confusion, & delusion—which entered Aries on March 30 of this year, then stationed retrograde at 2’10” Aries on July 7, then moved back into 29-degrees of PI on October 22--is about to station direct @ 29’22” Pisces on December 10.
It's during this retrograde period that “the powerful empathy between oneself & those who are helpless is a mirror of one’s own inner helplessness,” explains Jungian astrologer Erin Sullivan in her book “Retrograde Planets, Traversing the Inner Landscape.”
In other words “one really hopes in the process of helping others to help oneself,” Sullivan explains. To me, there is a strong element of “there, but for the grace of god, go I,” as well as the oft quoted proverb to “walk a mile in someone else’s shoes before judging them” in Sullivan’s explanation of the Neptune retrograde period.
And, when we take into consideration the time span of NE’s Rx period-- which was accompanied fairly closely with SA’s station Rx on July 13 @ 1’56” Aries & his subsequent station direct at 25’09” PI on November 27—during which the two remained in fairly close transit--we can see even more clearly now in retrospect the dissolution of boundaries between the ego & the unconscious--in each of us individually as well as within the greater collective.
All we need do, at least here in America, is remember how this period led to the passage in the U.S. Congress of Trump’s touted “big beautiful bill” signed into law on July 4. And how--in addition to adding to the continued future financial inequality of Americans (by virtue of huge tax cuts for the rich)--resulted also in the huge increase in funding for the Department of Homeland Security’s Immigration & Customs Enforcement. 
Because during its retrograde Neptune backtracks over potentially sensitive degrees, we might note now that this is what happened since Neptune crossed the the U.S. Sibly July 4, 1776, natal chart’s IC & 4th House cusp at 1’03” Aries twice so far. Once direct, Neptune will hit this degree again circa January 28, 2026.
In psychological astrology, Neptune in or ruling the 4th House (meaning Pisces is on its cusp) denotes what Jungian astrologer Liz Greene calls a ”weak father.” Given that we’re looking at the chart of the birth of America, as Monty Python would say “say no more…” if you catch my drift & recognize that a president is known as “the father his country.”
Saturn will reenter Aries on February 13 & conjoin with Neptune exact @0’45” Aries on February 20 at 11:53 a.m. ET. Saturn then reenters the U.S. 4th House on February 23 & Neptune follows suit on February 28.
When we synthesize these movements, we’ve got a lot of potential dissolution of foundations located at the very foundation of the U.S. Sibly chart—particularly related to the “father of the country.” Nuff said—for now…
Be sure to tune in to learn more about all of this--including Mercury's opposition to Uranus December 10, the third quarter monthly lunar square of the Pisces Moon to the Sagittarius Sun & Mercury's entrance into Jupiter-ruled Sagittarius December 11!

ANY WAY THE WIND BLOWS, EVERYTHING YOU DON’T KNOW TURNS INTO A REVELATION
The Scorpio New Moon, which occurred at 28-degrees 12-minutes Scorpio at 10:47 p.m. PT November 19 & 1:47 a.m. ET November 20, opposed Uranus retrograde at 29-degrees 29-minutes of Taurus, known as the “Pleiades point” in Greek mythology. Found in the Taurus constellation, the seven weeping sisters represent “blindness”--sometimes literally, more often metaphorically.
So, Mercury retrograde’s reentrance into the 29th degree of Scorpio on November 18/early November 19--when Mercury then exact opposed Uranus Rx @ 29 Taurus seem now in hindsight to have represented a “once I was blind but now I can see” moment. .
Astrologically speaking this Mercury/Uranus opposition aspect alone told us that something unusual, something sudden & potentially shocking was likely to happen as we approached this Scorpio New Moon. This was then confirmed as we waxed toward today’s exact Sun/Uranus opposition on November 21.
And, sure enough, it was as these aspects waxed in strength & as we approached the Scorpio New Moon that President Trump—who’d formerly insisted these Epstein documents were a “Democratic hoax”—announced his unexpected turnaround. Suddenly, after realizing that resistance was futile, he was all for passage of “The Epstein Files Transparency Act” & declared that he would sign the bill when it reached his desk.
And so he did on November 19, just before the Scorpio New Moon arrived. Now this month’s lunation directs us to plant seeds that allow us to gain a greater sense of self-empowerment—both individually & collectively—but that such empowerment will come with some surprising revelations as we face our hidden shadows. Shadows to which we’ve previously been blind, given this lunation’s opposition to Uranus retrograde at the 29 Taurus Pleiades degree--as they emerge suddenly, & perhaps shockingly, into the light of day.
For Donald Trump, who experienced this lunation in his Pluto/Scorpio-ruled 4th House of early psychological roots opposing transiting Uranus in his 10th House of reputation in the wider world & square to his Leo Ascendant (appearance to others) & fixed star Regulus, it the message now seems clear.
His popularity waning, his strong-arm tactics shot down in courts, his inability to understand the definition of “affordability” in the economic realm, his thirst for revenge & warlike tactics both domestically & internationally, the question becomes whether this is the beginning of the end for him. He is, after all, now considered political a “lame duck”—one who’s constitutionally prevented from running for president again, despite acting like the U.S. Constitution doesn’t exist.
YOU WATCH & YOU WAIT, & PRAY FOR THE DAY…
With transiting Uranus retrograde now square Donald Trump’s Leo Ascendant & fixed star Regulus—which at his birth conjoined his Ascendant in Leo—Trump is now facing what Regulus traditionally represents--which is king maker & (potentially) king breaker. 
Fixed star Regulus, considered one of the four royal stars by the ancient Persians, has a connotation with "Watcher of the North," & as such was seen as a guardian star, which brought honor and success. 
However, Regulus carried the warning that succumbing to vengeful impulses would diminish its blessings. In short, seeking & gaining power was in its purview, but that power would be lost if such a person resorted to revenge of his or her perceived enemies.
Given that transiting Uranus first squared Trump’s Leo Ascendant/Regulus on June 17, 2025, he’s already taken the first hit. However, his second exact square occurred on November 7, the day he pardoned 70+ people who’d been instrumental in his “stop the steal” elector scheme leading to the U.S. Capitol insurrection on January 6, 2021. Next he’s gone after his political opponents for doing their jobs, such as former FBI Director James Comey, NYS Attorney General Letitia James, & more, as he seeks revenge against those attempting to hold him legally accountable for his own wrongdoings.
What’s important to realize now is that Uranus, which remains retrograde in Taurus until February 3, 2026, will once again comes into orb of squaring his Leo Ascendant/Regulus between April 6-25, 2026. It’s on April 26 of next year that Uranus direct reenters Gemini for the duration of its transit there.
The point is that Trump is not done yet with his potential fall from grace, based on ancient archetypal astrological calculations which foretell a diminished future for him, to put it diplomatically. What that will look like exactly is hard to say, as he’s always been extremely lucky despite his mafioso tendencies.
Astrologer Rob Hand generally describes the Uranus square to one’s Ascendant in his book “Planets In Transit” as one that “…is likely to have a very disruptive effect on your relationships. Influences may enter your life, either through your home or your profession, that will challenge the foundations upon which your life is built. This challenge will be reflected in surprising encounters with others that upset your way of living or in sudden separations from person who you thought would remain in your life for some time.” 
I’ll leave it to you, gentle reader, to suss out the direction from which the who, what, where, how, & when of these challenges for Trump. All I ask is that you keep this particular transit in mind as we approach the early spring next year…
 
YOU CAN’T ALWAYS GET WHAT YOU WANT, BUT IF YOU TRY SOMETIMES, YOU GET WHAT YOU NEED
Now, as we head into this month’s Scorpio themed lunar cycle, we might be mindful that Mercury’s still retrograde in Scorpio until it stations direct on November 29, Neptune’s retrograde in Pisces until December 10, Uranus remains retrograde until February 3, 2026, & Jupiter’s still retrograde in Cancer until March 10, 2026.
While these retrogrades always ask us to review, Mercury Rx in Scorpio has clearly brought a lot of vitriolic language to the forefront. The point is that now we can recognize such language for what it is—the deeply violent not-so-shadow side of Donald Trump when he calls for the death of his political opponents by saying they should be hanged for telling the military not to follow illegal orders.
Meanwhile, however, just before Mercury stations direct again on November 29, Saturn will station direct in Pisces November 27. We continue now to review our plans for the future (Mercury Rx), & strengthen our connection to what’s real versus fantastical thinking (Neptune Rx.) 
In addition, we experience the shattering of “smug ideals which will not withstand true, objective clarity,” as Jungian astrologer Erin Sullivan puts it in her book “Retrograde Planets” (Uranus Rx.) And we continue to review what is our TRUE inner sense of morality, ethics, & integrity--versus that which society tells us is moral & just—& bring such inner knowing into greater consciousness (Jupiter Rx.)
When Saturn stations direct at 29’09” Pisces, it will remain “within the same degree for almost six weeks on either side of the station,” according to Sullivan. “Upon its direction, one might feel as if moving in slow motion.” Despite this, something new will have “been born, but it will need a few months to become consciously manifest,” she notes.
When Saturn direct reaches the degree at which it originally stationed, or 1’56” Aries, by March 2, 2026, we’ll be able to see the completion of previous plans which seemed stalled during the retrograde, according to Sullivan. 
“Alternatively, a tentative plan or fantasy may come to reality in the last stages of the cycle,” Sullivan points out, adding “negatively, it will finish off any antiquated or non-productive relationship, projects, or activities,” as “outmoded & evening damaging values or relationships long past their productive stage do end,” she concludes.
Given that the Sun entered Jupiter-ruled Sagittarius November 21, Jupiter’s retrograde in Cancer has the Sadge archetype as its dispositor until the Sun moves on & into Capricorn December 21. However, since Jupiter’s retrograde in Moon-ruled Cancer lasts until March 10, 2026, it’s then we’ll begin to realize how plans made prior to its station retrograde on November 11 have contracted rather than expanded. 
The point of Jupiter’s retrograde period—if we are striving for greater consciousness in our lives—is that it’s the period which leads us to better understand that we don’t always get what we want, but that we will more often get what we need. It’s knowledge--& acceptance—of the difference between these two that gives us the advantage as we navigate our lives.
In terms of the U.S. Government’s current administration, this bodes well, don’t you think? The current administration’s plans to shrink the government, eliminate diversity, equity, & inclusive policies, to hunt down & jail or deport immigrants here legally, to deny educational institutions federal funding, continue to promote misogyny, & to have the president continually profit financially from his foreign cryptocurrency deals--& so much more—is a WANT.
But going after Donald Trump’s political adversaries, & ignoring his own policy’s negative economic effects with zero regard for his nation’s citizens well-being might not be exactly what his soul actually needs, lol. Especially since he was born with a wounded Jupiter by virtue of its tight conjunction to Juno, the sign of partnership, & Chiron, the wounded healer in his 2nd House of values. 
If we take note of all these astrological happenings as they pertain to life here in the

This podcast reviews the astro energies—including the Mars/Uranus opposition--that led to a major wakeup call resulting from the U.S. off year elections on November 4. This wakeup call was for everyone: Both those in power & those who disagree with their policies.
The Medias Touch news organization put it best: “Tuesday’s results were an electoral victory for Democrats, but even more, they were a reaffirmation of democracy itself.” 
Thus, we had the awakening amongst those in power who seem to suddenly realize that depriving people of resources such as food & healthcare is not going to happen without pushback.
And, we had the revelation amongst voters who disapprove of being starved, denied affordable healthcare, & made sick from watching people dragged off the streets & jailed—or worse yet deported--without due process rights, that democracy is still alive and well.
By the Taurus Full Moon November 5 Virginia had elected a female governor--its first ever after a history of 74 former male governors--& NJ elected its second female governor. All of this speaks volumes about the Taurus Full Moon’s emphasis on the awakening of feminine divine archetype.
 
In addition, when he announced his transition team on the day of the Taurus Full Moon, we might note it is comprised entirely of females. And that his team includes Lina Kahn, the former chair of the Federal Trade Commission during President Biden’s administration who fought against corporate anti-trust violators during her tenure there.
Also, as Jupiter was trining Saturn at this lunation, we saw its mythological meaning come to life as 34 year-old Zohran Mamdani was elected NYC mayor by the largest turn out of voters—many of them younger ones--since 1969. Part of the Jupiter/Saturn 20-year cycle, which began when the two conjoined in Aquarius on December 21, 2020, this represents a changing of the guard from the older generation to the younger one.
This theme was illustrated as well since influential California House Rep Nancy Pelosi, who’s now 84 years old, announced she would not run for reelection in 2026, thus ending her long-standing influence on the democratic side of the House. Another symbolic changing of the guard by passing the baton from the old “king” to the young one… 
HOW’S THAT PARTNERSHIP THING BEEN WORKIN’ FOR YA?
Now in the waning portion of this month’s lunar cycle since it began with the Libra New Moon on October 21--which called us to plant seeds to better partner with ourselves so that we may become a better parter to others—there’s still a face off in the Congressional-caused government shutdown.
Trouble is that lunation was fraught with pitfalls such as its squares to Jupiter & Pluto & its opposition to chaos maker Eris & wounded healer Chiron, making this month’s mission harder than most. That righteous (Jupiter) control (Pluto) by the powerful would cause chaos and wounding (Chiron/Eris) to people seems now to have been foretold by this lunation.
Since today marks the 38th day & the longest government shutdown in history, thus far with no end in sight, we can see clearly now how the Libra New Moon’s mission to learn to better negotiate & compromise with others predicted resistance to compromise that’s caused a great deal of chaos & pain.
Californians voted in Prop 50 after deciding “the hell with going high when they go low” in the effort to counteract Texas’s attempts to gerrymander state maps to favor adding an additional five GOP seats to the House of Representatives. Again, a result of this monthly lunar cycle’s message that it’s time to push back rather than lay back & continue to be disempowered.
However, as we head toward the third-quarter waning “crisis in consciousness” square of the Leo Moon to the Scorpio Sun November 11, we’re asked to realize that the needs of each individual are what matter, and that lumping them into groups & dismissing their concerns will cause even more chaos.
The Leo Moon (“the people” in mundane astrology) are in tension with the leader (“king” in mundane astrology) who’s hell bent on ruling with an autocratic hand. This recent election, as we waxed toward the Taurus Full Moon, will now lead to the realization that we are at a turning point here in America.
ONCE I WAS BLIND, BUT NOW I CAN SEE
Meanwhile, we have the Uranus retrograding back into Taurus on November 7 & reentering at the 29-degree Pleiades point, which represents “blindness.” The question becomes whether the Trump Administration & Congress have been SO blind to what’s going on in the lives of its citizens that it’s actually adapted a “let them eat cake” policy & caused what’s now the longest government shut down in American history?
 
As Uranus backs into Taurus, we have also the announcement that—due to the fact that federally-employed air traffic controllers (Uranus=flight) are going without pay causing many of them to call in sick, thus creating a shortage of workers. This is leading to a 40% reduction in flights across the country (Taurus=slowdown.) This as we approach the Thanksgiving holiday period, pretty much THE most heavily traveled days of the year.
Next we have Mercury stationing retrograde in Sagittarius (also a delay related to travel) on November 9. This marks the beginning of the period where Mercury moved back from the fire to the water trigon, asking us to begin to review the question “what is the quality of my life?” as Jungian astrologer Erin Sullivan puts it in her book “Retrograde Planets, Traversing the Inner Landscape.”
Mercury will move back into Scorpio on November 18 & remain in that deeply volatile archetypal sign through its direct station on November 29 & until it reenters Sagittarius on December 11. Lots of time for us to review the emotional quality of our lives now & to discern where we may be clinging on to old emotional patterns that no longer serve us well.
By November 11 Jupiter will station retrograde in Cancer, asking us to review whether what we think we want is what our soul truly needs to be happy. This is a huge lift for some, given Jupiter’s propensity for pie-in-the-sky, somewhere over the rainbow, optimism & wishful thinking. 
Jupiter remains retrograde until March 10, 2026, so the caution is not to get too disillusioned if efforts do not pan out as previously planned during this time span. Rather, look at the bright side given the current state of U.S. politics: THEIR plans to disempower American citizens won’t manifest as they thought they would, & that’s a good thing, right?
On November 12, Mercury retrograde conjoins with Mars in Sagittarius & perhaps we’ll hear some judicial thinking (read: rulings) about the U.S. Government’s attempts harm others. Could be about shooting boats out of international waters with no proof that their running drugs. Could be about the “war” Trump has declared against his own citizens by placing federal troops in American cities. Or perhaps through high tariffs that only end up taxing his own people. We shall see…

on this week’s “Karmic Evolution’s Astrologically Speaking” podcst  which drops October 31!
As we wax toward next week’s November 5 Taurus Full Moon it’s important to note that it will be highlighted first by the exact opposition of Mars in Sagittarius to Uranus retrograde in Gemini November 4. All eyes, at least here in America, will be on the U.S. elections that day.
On one hand, this Mars/Uranus opposition might mean a sudden about face in terms of voters’ preferences—at least for those who are going to the polls that day, be they Republicans, Democrats, or Independents. 
“Most frequently this transit signifies the explosive release of tension through sudden anger against someone, especially persons close to you,” according to Rob Hand in his “Planets In Transit” book. “These people will make you feel restless & irritable, & you will blow up at them easily. Expect to have feelings of great impatience.”
“On the other hand, this transit can represent a time when your efforts to liberate yourself from unnecessary & inhibiting restrictions start to succeed,” Hand continues. “Now you can really feel that you are becoming free of these bonds….But you can expect considerable resistance from others & it will not be easy,” he cautions.
So, as we wax toward the 13’23” Taurus Full Moon opposite the Scorpio Sun, which occurs at 5:19 a.m. PT & 8:19 a.m. ET, we may find that recent tensions revolving around tighter governmental controls drives more people to the polls than normal during an off year election.
Meanwhile, with Saturn & Neptune both currently retrograde in Pisces since their entrances into Mars-ruled Aries earlier this year, we continue to see the rapid dissolution of foundational structures, walls, & boundaries here in the U.S. government under the current Trump Administration.
As New York Times’ Op-Ed columnist Maureen Dowd put it on October 25: “We are awash in nautical metaphors as the president plunders and pillages. He’s a pirate--and not the fun Halloween kind.” Dowd add: “Congress is adrift. The White House is a shipwreck. Trump is marauding in the Caribbean. James Comey and Letitia James are being forced to walk the plank, and next up could be Jack Smith and Adam Schiff.”
“IN A WORLD THAT KEEPS ON PUSHING ME AROUND, I WON’T BACK DOWN”
While the Taurus Moon wants peace, calm, & serenity, at the full Moon it reflects the light of the Scorpio Sun back onto itself—thus revealing the Scorpio Sun’s more controlling shadow side. Manipulation to gain or keep power--particularly through joint resources (read: taxpayers’ monies), sex, & violation of trust—are undeniably currently in the forefront of the energy here in America. 
Proof of this, as we wax now toward the exact Mars/Uranus opposition & the Taurus Full Moon November 4 & 5, respectively, came when Mercury in Sagittarius opposed Uranus in Gemini exact on October 30, & we learned this from The Hill publication:
“The National Guard is building a ‘quick reaction force’ of some 23,500 troops trained in crowd control and civil disturbance that can be ready to deploy to U.S. cities by early next year, according to a leaked memo reported by multiple outlets Wednesday.
“The Oct. 8 memo, signed by National Guard Bureau Director of Operations…orders the Guard from nearly every U.S. state, Puerto Rico and Guam to train 500 service members. States with smaller populations, such as Delaware, will have 250 troops in their forces, while Alaska will have 350, and Guam will have 100, Task & Purpose”—a publication geared toward the U.S. military community” reported.
Let’s remember, too, that on October 8, we were waxing toward an exact Chiron/Eris conjunction in Aries, which indicated either wounding that causes chaos, or chaos that results in wounding—take your pick. What’s obvious, however, is that this pair was also opposed by both luminaries in Libra at the Libra New Moon on October 21, which also squared Jupiter & Pluto, setting up the energies for this month’s lunar cycle which is not even halfway through yet.
A PUSH COMES TO SHOVE MOMENT
As we reach the culmination of this monthly lunar cycle at the Taurus Full Moon, it’s a push comes to shove moment, at least here in America. Soon, not only immigrants who look or speak differently from typical Americans (read: usually meaning white) but local protestors against the already ongoing invasion of mostly blue state’s cities will be in danger throughout the nation as well.
Meanwhile, the disabled, children, & seniors are being cut off from the Supplemental Nutritional Assistance Program (SNAP) as of November 1, when T-square is formed as Venus in Libra opposes Chiron & Eris in Aries & they all square Jupiter in Cancer that day.
By early morning election day, November 4, Mars enters Sagittarius at 8:01 a.m. ET, the MOON enters Taurus at 11:16 a.m. & then quincunxes Mars @ 11:25 a.m. Finally, Mars then opposes Uranus exact at 12:30 pm. Hoo boy, that’s a lotta change over the course of only about four & a half hours from 8:01 a.m. to 12:30 pm ET. But there’s more—following that at 1:30 p.m., the Taurus MO squares PL in AQ.
And it’s this aspect on November 4 that “encourages compulsive behavior,” according to Rob Hand. “Your emotions acquire so much momentum that it is difficult not to give in to sudden urges & impulses that may not be good for you in the long run, particularly if you have been trying to suppress your feelings.” 
However--& this is a BIG however--this transit “is least difficult if you deal with your feelings honestly & do not try to hide them from yourself.” Given the fact that seven million people took to the streets on No Kings Day to oppose the current tyrannical nature of the U.S. Government under Donald Trump, it’s clear they did not hide their emotions from themselves—or anyone else.
 
Given that as a foreshadow, it’s not hard to imagine that this fixed Moon/Pluto square’s energy on the day of the election—along with the other aspects mentioned--may well result in a groundswell of support against current Scorpionic machinations designed to disempower the masses.

FOR THIS WEEK’S “ASTROLOGICALLY SPEAKING!” PODCAST WHICH DROPS OCTOBER 24!
We’re in the early waxing stage of the monthly lunar cycle begun with the Libra New Moon—which formed a grand cross as it opposed the chaos-causing wounds via Chiron & Eris, & squared Jupiter as it opposed Pluto--on October 21.
This posed tensions around the area of partnership. Pluto represents power & control, as well as joint resources & other peoples’ money, among other things. Since the Sun’s been in Scorpio since October 22, it’s now ruled by Pluto. 
So, as the Scorpio Sun squares Pluto in Aquarius October 24, we’ve already seen power plays, particularly those related to money, including taxpayer’s money (read: other peoples’ money) & its effect on the U.S. economy.
Meanwhile, President Donald Trump is taking corporate donors' money to fund his $200M 90,000 square foot ballroom addition to the White House & has already begun the destruction of the East Wing there. 
Nothing speaks more clearly to the fact that million & billionaires now influence government policy than this. As my Capricorn mother used to say: “He who has the money has the power.” I hate to admit now that she was right. 
Consider the symbolism: As the president of the United States takes corporate money to destroy a part of the White House—known as “the people’s house,” do we not realize that this is what’s happening now to the U.S. Government?
The heavens are reflecting back to us the power plays occurring here in the U.S. as the government remains shutdown & funding for many different services—such as the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) which feeds millions of poor people & their children in all 50 states—run out of funds November 1.
Meanwhile, the destruction of the East Wing, made possibly by rich peoples’ donations, tells us that something is not right here. By the time Mercury enters Sagittarius & we reach the first quarter lunar “crisis in action” square of the Aquarius Moon to the Scorpio Sun October 29, will even more than the seven million people who attended No Kings Day peaceful protests be called to action?

FOR THIS WEEK’S “ASTROLOGICALLY SPEAKING!” PODCAST WHICH DROPS OCTOBER 17!
As we wax now toward the Libra New Moon on October 21, we can see that the Libra Sun opposes wounded healer Chiron, & Eris, the dwarf planet of chaos, discord, & strife. And that this opposition is forming a square to Jupiter as it waxes toward an opposition to Pluto.
That this is occurring as we head into the nationwide No Kings protest day on October 18 is troublesome to say the least. Republican governors from Texas, Virginia, & Missouri have already called up their National Guard in preparation for these protests.
And that means, even before the Libra New Moon hits on Tuesday, October 21, that protesters must call upon their inner Libran archetype to emphasize their peacefulness rather than fall prey to any coercive actions by others who try to make them respond otherwise (read: aggressively.)
Billed as the largest protest in American history, millions will gather in all 50 states to protest the current policies ordered by President Trump & his administration since he took office in January 2025. The caution here is not to get sucked in to losing one’s cool, as the heavens are telling us that even the slightest provocation might land one in trouble now.
Given that political rhetoric has coarsened to the point of 
becoming radicalized since Mercury, the god of communication, entered Pluto-ruled Scorpio on October 6, now is not the time to release anger in any way other than verbally. 
However, the tension increases since Mercury will join Mars in Scorpio exact late on October 19/early October 20—depending on your time zone--making this waxing energy extremely strong on October 18’s No Kings day. Take this as a warning not to lose your cool now, whether you’re part of these protests or engaged in any other dispute personally with those with whom you disagree. 
Rather, as stated, channel your inner Libran archetype to simply stay calm & carry on!  
GIVE ME THE MAN & I WILL FIND THE CRIME
Meanwhile, more vindictive prosecutions were announced this past week as we head toward the Libra New Moon on October 21. The U.S. Department of Justice (DoJ), which has been weaponized against Donald Trump’s perceived enemies—as Attorney General Pam Bondi & Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche now serve as his personal lawyers--indicted former National Security Advisor John Bolton accusing him of releasing classified information to unauthorized individuals.
Whether the charges stick or not, the fact that Trump has stated publicly that he’s going after his “enemies” & is hell bent on “retribution” is clearly reflected by the waxing Mercury/Mars energy in Scorpio now. Trump has already forced his DoJ to indict former FBI Director James Comey, NY Attorney General Letitia James, & District Attorney Fani Will of Fulton Country, Georgia, (& others) against experienced DoJ attorneys’ advice & with little evidence. 
“Vindictive prosecution” is a great way to define not only the Mercury/Mars conjunction, but also the Sun waxing toward its exact square to Pluto on October 24 & Jupiter’s current out of sign opposition to Pluto. All of those smell of “retribution” against one’s enemies through legal recourse. 
The Scorpionic & Plutonic nature of these aspects, however, reek of underhanded methods to achieve one’s goals. And that is part & parcel of what the No Kings day protests are about. In the short-term, however, it’s clear that the U.S. Government shutdown is on peoples' minds as well, as the fight between the two congressional parties--where one refuses to negotiate & compromise with the other--continues.
Why? Because the capitalist-oriented GOP majority in Congress believe they are being “responsible” by cutting the federal budget’s Medicaid & Affordable Care Act health insurance subsidies—along with a host of other aid to poorer citizens--to offset the growing federal deficit.
However, they fail to acknowledge (though clearly they MUST realize) that part of the reason for the expanding budget deficit is due to the Big Ugly Bill they passed at the behest of Donald Trump in July which granted huge tax relief to the richest among us in the country.
At the same time, the same people who refuse to compromise accuse anyone who disagrees with them—particularly the millions of citizens (many their own constituents) scheduled to protest on October 18--of being members of Antifa.
Woe to the poor soul who doesn’t have the intellectual capacity to understand that Antifa stands for ANTI FASCIST. Or that this country has been anti-fascist to its core, particularly since its citizens fought & died during WWII against the FACIST Nazis in Germany. 
Apparently, they never read George Orwell’s “1984,” let alone understand that Antifa is NOT an actual organization. Rather, it’s simply a non-existent group made up by Trump & Republicans, labeled "terrorists," & designed to attack liberals or anyone who disagrees with them.

Some astro transits are fleeting but all are part of a cycle—astrology is, after all, the study of cycles! The one that’s most prevalent right now is clearly represented by the repercussions of the recent Mars in Scorpio third quarter waning “crisis in consciousness” square to Pluto in Aquarius which perfected on September 24. 
The repercussions triggered by this Mars/Pluto square are clearly upon us now, especially here in the U.S. Don’t forget that when you put Mars & Pluto together—whether its through aspects between the two or aspects between planets in their ruled signs of Aries & Scorpio—you can pretty much be assured the energies are going to be about one or more of the following subjects: money, power, control, secrets, sex, anger, &/or violence.
That’s why astrologer Rob Hand defines this square in his book “Planets In Transit” as a time that heralds “a serious conflict between individual energies & the energies of a group.” This becomes more obviously prevalent now because Pluto is in Uranus-ruled Aquarius, the sign of groups. 
“Transit cycles involving Pluto have a strange way of producing total destruction of your own ends if you take illegitimate shortcuts,” Hand continues. However, “the consequences of your deceptive actions will not be apparent until the next time transiting Mars either conjoins or opposes Pluto.” 
Hand is, of course, speaking of the transit of Mars to one’s natal Pluto. However, I have found his description of aspects between transiting planets often to be as accurate in energetic terms as a transit to a natal chart planet. At the least, he captures the essence of the potential manifestation of archetypal aspect combinations be they solely in the sky or affecting the natal.
And don’t forget astrologer Michael Lutin’s teaching that whenever an aspect in the sky echoes one in your individual chart, you will experience a “recurrence” of that energy.
I can pretty much guarantee that there are plenty of Mars/Pluto frictional aspects in the natal charts of sexual abuse victims, such as those trafficked by sexual predator Jeffrey Epstein, though there are likely other astrological indications specific to each as well. 
Anybody recognize how a recurrence of Mars/Pluto energy entered the collective since a number of his victims spoke out about his abuse on the steps of the U.S. Capitol in Washington, D.C. recently? And how this week’s election of a new Congresswoman in Arizona put the Epstein issue front & center back in the news?
According to The Hill publication on Sept 25: “Lawmakers in both parties fighting to force the Trump administration to release all the federal files on Jeffrey Epstein took a big step closer to their goal this week. Adelita Grijalva’s victory on Tuesday in a special House election in southern Arizona sends another Democrat to Capitol Hill — and secures the deciding 218th signature on a discharge petition designed to compel the Justice Department to disclose the still-concealed documents related to the late child sex offender.”
THERE WERE INCIDENTS & ACCIDENTS, HINTS & ALLEGATIONS
Regardless, since this Mars/Pluto square—which represents the waning third quarter “crisis in consciousness” portion of the Mars/Pluto synodic cycle which began with their conjunction at 0’46” AQ on Feb 14, 2024—we’ve seen numerous related incidents that reflect its energies pretty accurately.
“Incidents” that cannot be ignored here in America if we are to preserve our democratic system of three independent branches of government which are currently now being dissolved & destroyed under the U.S. Pluto return’s ongoing energies, along with that of the current Saturn/Neptune conjunction & its cycle in Aries.
Incidents such as U.S. president’s statement “I hate my enemies” at Charlie Kirk’s funeral, which clearly invites others to do the same. Incidents like governmentally-driven suppression of free speech & the decision by the CDC to recommend Covid vaccines ONLY to anyone over 65 or with a verifiable health issue. 
And then there’s the agency’s Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP) panel vote to restrict children’s access to a measles-mumps-rubella vaccine known as MMRV. The panel also postponed a vote on whether all newborns should get the hepatitis B shot. 
Incidents such as the DoJ’s indictment of former FBI director James Comey on charges even the DoJ says won’t stick. Incidents such as the FBI dropping its bribery case against the now immigration czar Tom Homan who last year secretly accepted a bag filled with $50K in cash in return for “favors” when he entered government in 2025.
Incidents such as learning the Secret Service dismantled a covert telecommunications network spread across five locations in the New York area that contained a system also used to transmit assassination threats against senior U.S. officials during the gathering of the world’s dignitaries at the United Nations in New York City this past week.
And, neither last nor least, incidents such as the looming U.S. government shutdown on October 1 based on the inability of Congress to do the “Libra thang” & negotiate & compromise to avoid such a catastrophe. Mars square Pluto doesn’t compromise, after all…it’s about power and those who get hurt in the process be damned…
THE HANDWRITING ON THE WALL
We arrived at the first Mars/Pluto waxing first quarter “crisis in action” square on June 11, 2024, & it was July 1, 2024, when the Supreme Court granted U.S. presidents “immunity from criminal liability for…official acts,” according to the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU.) Thus began the time of “a serious conflict between individual energies & the energies of a group,” as Rob Hand puts it. 
On November 3, 2024, the day before the U.S. presidential election, Mars made its first exact opposition to Pluto. Because of Mars’ retrograde period, these two opposed again late on January 2/early Jan 3, 2025, & then one more time on April 26 of this year.
Rob Hand describes a Mars/Pluto opposition thusly: “If you are tempted to gain control over others, be very careful. Eventually you might find yourself opposed by everyone whom you have ever tried to rule.” Certainly sounds like something that ultimately manifested as the massive “No Kings” protest rallies around the nation, no?
Meanwhile, the next time Mars & Pluto conjoin to begin a new synodic cycle will be at 3’34” Aquarius on January 27, 2026. So it's between now & then that we’ll be experiencing the waning quarter of this current cycle between the two which, again, denotes a time of conflict between those in power & the energies of a group.
The U.S. Pluto return brings us back to the origins (read: birth) of America, which clearly did not happen without a fight. Taxation of the colonists by the British monarchy clearly helped ignite the American Revolution, which began in 1775 & lasted until peace was formally declared in 1783.
It then took the colonists' "founding fathers" until 1789 to construct a constitution, create three co-equal branches of government, inaugurate the first U.S. president & seat the first Supreme Court justices. 
As we look at what’s happening now, especially the repercussions of the waning square of Mars in Scorpio to Pluto in Aquarius those who are paying attention can clearly see the handwriting on the wall…
The question becomes: Do we want to be puppets on a string, or stand up & fight back? Even if it took something as seemingly superficial as the censoring of a late-night talk show comedian to wake the masses up, it nevertheless sparked a revolution against suppression of our democratic rights. The waning portion of this Mars/Pluto cycle advises: Don’t let that spark die as the winds of suppression try to snuff it out…

Today’s podcast explores that fact that this month’s waning third-quarter of the lunar cycle—which leads us to the September 21 Virgo New Moon solar eclipse--has been a time to wake up & smell the coffee that our constitutional rights here in the U.S. are under threat.

So, before we even reach this second eclipse in this fall’s series--which began with the Pisces Full Moon total lunar eclipse on March 7--we’re asked at the end of the monthly lunar cycle to adjust to several realities. Doing so allows us to better recognize what seeds we’re being called to plant at the Virgo New Moon solar eclipse on September 21.
Since the assassination of prominent right-winger Charlie Kirk on September 10, we experienced the September 13 Sun/Mercury superior conjunction in Virgo. And since then, Mercury has moved ahead of the Sun to become an evening star, meaning he’s more prominently visible in the night sky.

In turn, this B symbolizes it’s now time—between September 13 & November 9 when Mercury once again stations retrograde—for clear observation & rational, logical, organized, & pragmatic thought that leads to ultimately to action.

I often point out that my astrological philosophy is that the universe is benign & that it has no interest in making any of us suffer. Rather, it simply provides opportunities every moment of everyday for us to grow in consciousness. And if we don’t recognize these moments, the universe doesn’t give up!
With that in mind, we’re tasked right now with recognizing the pain of injustices that curtail the rights of both individuals & groups. And to begin to recognize we must push back against such injustices, or we’ll continue to be subjected to additional onslaughts against our rights, such as the right free speech.
We’ve witnessed an outpouring of grief on many different levels since the Pisces New Moon total lunar eclipse & during this monthly lunar cycle’s last week. But the main one was the silencing via murder of an outspoken conservative who used religion as a shield to justify his prejudices against those he did not like. The aftermath of his murder brought grief, pain, & suffering to both those who followed him AND those who KNOW that killing someone because of his speech is morally WRONG.
And not only wrong, it’s unconstitutional, at least here in America. As Kirk’s death began to sink in amongst the masses of both his followers & his critics, the powers that be began to curtail the speech of his detractors which has resulted in the stifling of voices such as late-night comedic talk show host Jimmy Kimmel.
So what began with an outpouring of pain & grief has culminated in a discussion of how our current political polarization has wounded us—as evidenced by September 16’s Mercury quincunx wounded healer Chiron, Venus’s trine to Chiron, & Mars’ opposition to Chiron.
By September 17, however, the pushback against allowing anyone other than conservatives to speak freely began as Mercury in Virgo opposed Saturn retrograde in Pisces on September 17. Mercury then entered Libra & opposed Neptune retrograde in Aries, & trined Pluto in Aquarius September 18. In addition, Venus in Libra quincunxed Saturn in Pisces & the Virgo Sun quincunxed Chiron in Aries then too.
GRIEF OVER THE ASSASSINATION OF FREE SPEECH
Quincunxes are 150-degree aspects between planets, which makes them so far apart that they do not recognize or “see” each other. Most astrologers agree they are indications that an adjustment must be made. Like needing to turn your head to see what’s out of your immediate range of peripheral vision, a quincunx alerts us it’s time to look both ways before proceeding.
In this case, as these quincunxes begin to register, they are waxing us toward this next solar eclipse. Mercury also trines Uranus & Pluto, Venus enters Virgo & quincunxes both Neptune & Saturn, squares Uranus, & quincunxes Pluto. In addition, the Virgo Sun opposes Saturn in Pisces, & ALL of these aspects occur between September 18 & September 21 in the lead up to the upcoming solar eclipse. 
Instead of parsing each of these individually, let’s simply analyze what’s occurred in the collective as we reach the end of this month’s lunar cycle, shall we? 
What we have in fact seen--& are in fact experiencing now--is a rude awakening to the extremes that divergent political stances can bring. Even to the point where ignoring—or worse yet, excusing--gun violence by rationalizing it as a necessary by-product of such polarization because conservatives believe it’s an expression of our rights as American under the Second Amendment.
So, as we approach the 29’05” Virgo New Moon solar eclipse at 12:54 p.m. PT & 3:54 p.m. ET on September 21, it might then be a good time to engage in meditation, prayer, or mindfulness about what Mercury, the Sun, & the Moon’s oppositions to Saturn & Neptune at this eclipse are asking us to do.
Again, the collective is mirroring the answer back to us right now, and that is to resist pressure against our constitutional rights, most importantly the right to speak out. On September 15, as we waxed toward Mercury’s quincunx & Mars’ opposition to Chiron September 16 & Mercury’s opposition to Saturn September 17 Pam Bondi, the Attorney General of the U.S. Department of Justice (DoJ) said the following in an interview posted on Youtube:
“There’s free speech, and then there’s hate speech,” she announced while declaring that federal law enforcement will “go after” Americans for hate speech.
The problem? There is, in fact, no hate-speech exception to the First Amendment. The First Amendment in the U.S. Constitution says the following: “Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.”
The fact is that the First Amendment was set up by America’s founders to restrain the government, not individuals. In other words, the Supreme Court has parsed out in many cases what is acceptable under the First Amendment & what is not when it comes to both the government & individuals. 
Speech inciting “immediate violence” is prohibited under this amendment, but political speech is protected. For more on this--& remember, it pays to know the facts--see: https://constitutioncenter.org/the-constitution/amendments/amendment-i/interpretations/266
In any case, it’s now time to adjust our thinking as per all of these quincunxes & to push back against these oppositional threats to our constitutional rights—including that of free speech as it exists under U.S. constitutional law. 
By the time Mercury entered more negotiable & comprisable Libra on September 18, Bondi was forced to “walk back” her words about “going after” Americans for constitutionally protected “hate speech.” 
TIME TO FIGHT BACK
The other important transits happening around this solar eclipse is that Mars, which moves into Scorpio just before the Sun enters Libra at the fall equinox on Septembers 22, is waxing toward its third quarter “crisis in consciousness” waning square to Pluto in Aquarius on September 24. This podcast explores the history of this Mars/Pluto cycle from its  beginning in February 2024 until now, so tune in for more!
But basically, in the common parlance of a born & bred New Yorker, the response to Pam Bondi’s threats against free speech--& as a trained lawyer & the Attorney General for the state of Florida before being appointed head of the DoJ Bondi CLEARLY knows better—“dem’s fightin’ words!”
All of these oppositions & quincunxes point now to this solar eclipse’s culmination. That’s because, according to astrologer Ronnie Dreyer, it’s energies technically began when the transiting true nodal axis reached the 29’05” Virgo South Node position circa January 22/23 only days after the inauguration of President Donald Trump.
In total, the question now is can we plant seeds that lead to the further clear sighted analyzation of what’s occurred since January of this year that’s blocked us from being protected by established constitutional law? And, can we muster up the energy necessary now to fight back before it gets even worse?
U.S. history tells us we can. But it’s going to involve leaving behind any confusion about what’s going on now, calling a spade a spade, & formulating a pragmatic, logical plan to uphold our rights as Americans. In short, we’ve done it before & we can do it again, but we must wake up to reality & understand we can’t give up without a fight.

This week’s podcast focuses on the fall out from Uranus station retrograde & Pisces Full Moon total lunar eclipse of September 6 & 7, respectively, along with this week’s upcoming Sun/Mercury superior conjunction & third quarter monthly lunar square.
And phew, what a week it was! As astrologer Ronnie Dreyer noted in early September, when Uranus stations retrograde along with an eclipse, the week or two leading up to & after these astro events can be filled with all sorts of shocking events. 
It's common knowledge among astrologers that the themes of eclipses often make themselves felt prior to when they are exact. Combined with the retrograde station of Uranus, it seems that the chaotic, violent events of the past two weeks certainly prove this to be true.
This podcast explores the nature of this past week’s shocking events--from earthquakes in Afghanistan that killed 2,200 people & ones off the coast of Oregon, to the fall of prime ministers & other high-level officials in France & Japan. And then there’s the protests by Gen Z members that torched a government building & killed 22 in Nepal, leading to their prime minister’s resignation. 
From Russian drones violating NATO’s airspace in Poland to Israel’s attempted assassination of Hamas negotiators by targeting them in Doha, Qatar, to the murder of right wing political activist Charlie Kirk in Utah, such shocking events illustrate a whole lot of violence in a short period of time.
Of course it doesn’t help that transiting Mars in Libra has been waxing closer to its exact opposition to dwarf planet Eris, the goddess of chaos, discord, & strife, & wounded healer Chiron—both in Aries—which perfect on September 15 & 16, respectively. Goes a long way to explaining the current chaos—much of it born of violence, not only in the U.S. but around the world.
We explore these details, along with a look at Charlie Kirk’s untimed birth chart to determine how Mars was conjoining his natal Libra Sun/Jupiter conjunction as Eris & Chiron opposed them. And then there’s the fact that the upcoming 29’05” Virgo New Moon solar eclipse—activated circa January 23 when the transiting nodal axis hit that degree--falls on his 28’23” Venus in Virgo on September 21. 
Part of the theme of this fall’s eclipse series is linked to concerns about the health of someone young—as per traditional astrologer Bernadette Brady in her book “Predictive Astrology, The Eagle And The Lark.” I think we can all now see the veracity of this given that Charlie Kirk was only 31 years-old at the time of his murder on September 10.
And let’s not forget that on September 11 the Brazilian Supreme Court convicted former President Jair Bolsonaro of overseeing a failed conspiracy to overturn the 2022 Brazilian election in a coup plot that included disbanding courts, empowering the military and plotting to assassinate the then president-elect. 
SUN/MERCURY SUPERIOR CONJUNCTION: THERE’S STILL HOPE TO DEVELOP A BETTER FUTURE PLAN
When the Sun conjoins Mercury in Virgo for their superior conjunction on September 13, between now & Mercury’s next retrograde station on November 9 is a time “when a completion of action stage dominates,” according to Jungian astrologer Erin Sullivan. 
“The maturity of projects, ideas, & actions has arrived & the…direct phase is an opportune time to recap the full rewards available,” she explains in her book “Retrograde Planets, Traversing the Inner Landscape.” 
“Though still a forward moving time, it is a thoughtful time, too, one which requires more deliberation before initiation.” During this period “Mercury says there is still hope to develop a better plan than the one from the past.” Hopefully democrats will feel this energy & heed the message from Brazil that something similar may happen here in the U.S.—eventually…
Meanwhile, this eclipse series is also associated with potential “important paperwork,” according to Brady. It should not surprise us then that the public has become privy this past week to never before seen documents related to sex trafficker & pedophile Jeffrey Epstein. 
And to his convicted co-conspirator Ghislaine Maxwell. And that these include not only the Epstein Foundation-released now infamous “birthday book,” but also a trove of 18,000 emails between Epstein & Maxwell (& others) made public between September 8 & 11.
As we await the September 21 Virgo New Moon solar eclipse, which opposes Saturn retrograde in Pisces & Neptune retrograde in Aries, we first have the Mercury/Saturn opposition on September 17. Join us to catch up on all this Astro News You Can Use & more!
