In this episode, Kate examines the astrological forces behind recent military escalations - be it hype or crisis - and the dangerous intersection of End Times theology with foreign policy.

As Jupiter squares Saturn-Neptune—a rare cosmic configuration not seen in our lifetimes—Kate reveals how the New Apostolic Reformation (a sect within evangelical Christianity) is showing up as presidential advisors are using biblical prophecy to justify warfare - believing they can accelerate the Second Coming of the son of their God through military action in the Middle East. This isn't just geopolitics; it's religious warfare disguised as foreign policy.

Kate traces the historical patterns of Saturn-Neptune cycles from the 1848 social movements through the W's invasion of Iraq, showing how these planetary alignments mark the rise and fall of major ideological movements. She explores how the current administration channels this cosmic weather toward a power-over "holy war" rather than genuine spiritual renaissance.

Through astrological analysis, historical parallels, literary guides, and spiritual insight, this episode helps you understand what's really driving current events and how to navigate the intensifying energies leading up to the exact Saturn-Neptune conjunction in February 2026—a cosmic timer on everything we're experiencing.

Kate offers practical wisdom for distinguishing genuine spiritual vision from weaponized religion, plus concrete actions for those seeking to embody love over fear during this threshold moment.
