Hello everyone, and welcome to Karmic Evolutions astrologically speaking podcasts.
I'm your host, Sherry Horn Hassan of karmick Evolution Astrology,
and I'm coming to you on July eleventh from karmievolution
dot com or any of your favorite podcast stations. Here's
my usual quick reminder that this podcast aims to bring
(01:23):
you the truth about astrology and your soul's karmic evolution,
and that a news show will continue to drop every
Friday at approximately eleven am Pacific and two pm Eastern
on most major podcast platforms. I said approximately because this
week I'm late recording this, so I don't know if
(01:44):
it's actually going to be posted at exactly those times,
but hopefully it will get posted at some point today.
And before we get into this week's astro news, you
can use I would like to read it rate again
my motto or mantra as it pertains to my particular
(02:05):
perspective about the importance of gaining astrological insight into one's
life and the world around us, and that is as follows,
the universe is benign. It has no vested interest in
making any of us suffer. Rather, it provides us with
opportunities every moment of every day to grow in consciousness.
(02:28):
It's simply up to us to recognize such moments. Now again,
when we listen to different astrologers speak about astrological energies
and how they might affect us, I think it's important
to recognize that all of the archetypes, the zodiacal signs,
and the planets ruled by them do not have any
(02:53):
mal intent. And this is where some of us evolutionary
astrologers and psychological astrologers differ from traditional astrologers, who interpret
a lot of the planets, such as say Mars and
Saturn as the lesser and greater malifics, or Venus and
(03:14):
Jupiter as the lesser and greater benefits, as always being
destined to bring something negative or bad in the former case,
or positive and happy and in the best interests of
(03:34):
soul growth in the latter. This is not necessarily true,
and as astrologers have advanced into more modern interpretations. I
think it's important to recognize that since I studied with
one of my mentors, Stephen Forrest, for several years, I
really learned to jettison some of these faded descriptions, which
(03:59):
isn't to say that sometimes they aren't true. It's just
a matter of really looking at an individual's chart determining
what their past habits and behaviors, both positive and negative,
were based on in terms of their past experiences. And again,
(04:19):
that's either early in this lifetime or in past life karma,
or both, depending on one's beliefs about reincarnation and past
life karma. If one doesn't believe in reincarnation, that's well
and good. It's just about what we've experienced in early
life then, but that still sets our behavioral patterns, and
(04:41):
often these patterns become unconscious because we don't recognize or
remember the derivation for them. And that's what I do
as an astrologer, and it's why I'm continuing to offer
my seventy five minute discount to Karmic Evolution Natal Insight
(05:02):
Reading for only one hundred and twenty five dollars. This
reading takes a look at why you're here. Some people
are interested in what's their soul's greatest mission in this lifetime,
and a lot of times it's something that to one
person might seem small, but to you might be huge.
So again, there's no accounting for how important certain transits
(05:26):
or aspects in your natal chart, or transits to them
or progressions to them are for one individual versus another.
But this reading offers you the opportunity to gain, as
I said, greater insight into why you're here, what issues,
habits and behaviors may still plague you from the past,
(05:48):
and whether these behavioral patterns stem from again earlier in
this lifetime or from past life experiences. And my mission
is to help you better understand through the lens of
both my archetypal, psychological and evolutionary experience, training and practice
by using your chart as your guide to your soul's
(06:12):
journey through this lifetime. So again, if you are interested
in this Karmic Evolution Natal Insight reading, please contact me
at Sherry That's s H. E. Ri I at Karmaicevolution
dot com if you'd like more information about it, or
if you'd like to request booking this reading. And again,
(06:35):
seventy five minute discounted reading for only one hundred and
twenty five dollars is an offer I make to podcast
listeners only, so if you're interested, get in touch. And
as I like to say, growth and consciousness has never
been so easy or so affordable. Okay, so I'm headlining
(06:58):
this podcast. The retrograde parade begins as Saturn and Mercury
joined Neptune and Pluto retrograde, and Uranus is in Gemini,
which amounts to a time to review what's changing. So
let's start with a review of this past week, which
included Neptune's station retrograde at two degrees and eleven minutes
(07:19):
of Aries on July fourth. What happened that day would
certainly seem to reflect the Neptunian archetype of water and
the Mars ruled Ares archetype of aggression and potential violence
when the downpour of rainfall in Central Texas exceeded that
of one month in one day, and we might also
(07:41):
note that Uranus was still at twenty nine degrees in
fifty one minutes of Taurus. The Pleiades point I've spoken
about quite a bit recently, which represents the seven Weeping
Sisters from Greek mythology, and weep they did, and weeping
they are still Uranus's movement to Gemini on July seventh,
(08:02):
So again we might view this incident as Mother Earth
weeping for the man made destruction of her previous I'm
sorry of her precious and previously bountiful natural world due
to the man made climate change that it's undeniable at
this point, has been occurring for years now and is
(08:25):
only worsening. So remember, Uranus was in Taurus, a symbol
of the physical world. Jupiter's now in Cancer since June
eighth or ninth, and Cancer, which is ruled by the Moon,
is the archetype of the Great Mother, which also symbolizes
in Jupiter and expansion of the outpouring of tears. And
(08:48):
this occurred while Saturn and Neptune or in areas representing
at least in this interest, water overflowing its bank in
boundaries in this case rivers overflowing their banks. As regular
podcast listeners my remember I pointed out in the past
the breaches of dams that have occurred when Saturn was
in Pisces up until June and until he entered Aries
(09:13):
on May twenty fourth. I'm sorry that was the typo.
We talked about this in the past two and a
half three years when Saturn was in Pisces until he
entered Aries on May twenty fourth. Now at the time
of this recording, Texas had reported that rescue efforts continued
after the July fourth, fourth flash floods continued in central Texas,
(09:38):
and according to CBS News on July tenth, quote, Texas
flood rescue teams continued to search for scores of missing
people as death toll climbs. The search for more than
one hundred and seventy people still missing after flash floods
devastated central Texas stretched into a seventh day on Thursday,
that was yesterday, as the death toll continued to rise.
(10:00):
At least one hundred and twenty one people have been
confirmed dead, according to local law enforcement and Governor. Texas
Governor Greg Abbott, Ongoing search operations are underway to find
anyone lost in the debris after the catastrophic weekend storm,
which caused the Guadalupe River to swell rapidly to near
(10:21):
unprecedented levels, and the article continues, A large majority of
the flooding deaths occurred in Care County, where officials have
confirmed at least ninety six people died. According again to CBS,
there are one hundred and sixty one people known to
be missing in care County alone. Officials said the county,
(10:42):
located in the flood prone Texas Hill Country west of Austin, Texas,
the state capital, bore the brunt of the disaster. At
least ten more people are missing in other parts of
the state, and the article continues that Camp Mystic, a
girl's summer camp with cabins along the river in a
rural part of Carer County near Hunt, at least twenty
(11:05):
seven campers and counselors died in what the camp described
as catastrophic flooding. Crews continued to search for five missing
campers and one counselor from Camp Mystic, and one child
not associated with the camp is also missing. Governor Abbotts
said last Tuesday, so can you see why I connect
(11:28):
the pliades point and the weeping sisters, especially as Jupiter
and cancer expands our sensitivity and compassion, especially for the
loss of children's lives. Now Now, by July seventh, as
Uranus moved into communicative, local and youth oriented Gemini and
as words spread about this climate change induced disaster, and no,
(11:52):
it wasn't caused by cloud seating, as conspiracy theory kooks
like Marjorie Taylor Green suggests came thick and fast about
who was in charge and who was supposed to warn
residents locally about this impending storm. Although it's taken a
while to sort out. New York Times opinion columnist Zanep
(12:14):
Tuffeki wrote this on July ninth. Quote What has since
become well known is that the Weather Service employee whose
job it was to make sure those warnings got traction,
Paul Yura, the long serving meteorologist in charge of quote
warning coordination, had recently taken an unplanned early retirement amid
(12:35):
cuts pushed by the so called Department of Government Efficiency.
He was not replaced, she continues to a Washington bean counter.
His loss might have looked like one tiny but welcome
subtraction in a giant spreadsheet, but not in a region
so prone to these perilous events that it's known as
(12:56):
Flashblood Alley. Hundreds of kids at summer camp Slatton cabins
along the river. The plan was for folks at the
upstream camps to send word to the downstream camps if
floodwaters got scary. But if even the highest official in
the country wasn't on high alert, how were the camp
counselors supposed to understand the danger, or in an area
(13:19):
without reliable cell phone coverage to act on it. Not
all of the damage will be this obvious, at least
not at first. Continues this abed piece, much of it
will be a matter of death by a thousand cuts,
systems and structures weakening and not being repaired, important but
(13:42):
less visible jobs going undone, services that we all took
for granted, slowing down, and evenings sputtering to a halt
endote again see the relevance of the pliades symbol of
blindness here. So this is part and parcel what I've
mentioned before, which is the dissolution of foundational structures since
(14:05):
Saturn entered areas and has been transitting close to Neptune
there since May twenty fourth. The rapidity of what's been
happening to the US government's previous foundations, be it in
the areas of law, education, immigration, health, science and research,
and more, is being carried out by both of federal
(14:27):
funding cuts imposed by Elon Mustoge and by the Heritage Foundations,
Russell Voight's Project twenty twenty five, developed before he became
this administration's Secretary of the Office and Management and Budget.
Now Musk, mister Elon, since his public breakup with Trump,
(14:47):
declared on July seventh, the day you're in a stationed
in not stationed, I'm sorry, the day you're in a
enter Gemini, that he's starting a third political America Party.
How ironic is it that the guy who introduced algorithms
as the way to eliminate waste, fraud, and abuse in
(15:07):
the American government thinks he can save America dis way.
We're talking about the man who's responsible for thousands of
federal workers' layoffs, the disintegration of US soft power globally
through gutting agencies like USAID, the stoppage of university grants
for international students as well as for or visas for students.
(15:33):
You know, the grants for medical research done by many
universities in the US, veterans benefits, health benefits, and so
so much more. What's clear is that Musk is the
one who's caused so much chaos in the foundational structure
of American government that it will likely last for years now.
(15:54):
I'll mention here the chiron Eris conjunction that perfected on
May twei twenty six at twenty five degrees in twenty
eight minutes of ares that fell in the fourth house
of Home, Family, Roots, security, and tradition in the US
Sibley Chart. Recognition that chaos leading to wounding has been
(16:20):
a prevalent theme for this country since, and that this
will continue is evident in the fact that transiting Chirn
will come within a degree at twenty seven degrees and
nine minutes of ares of squaring the US second house
Natal Pluto at twenty seven degrees and thirty three minutes
(16:40):
of Capricorn on July thirtieth. On that day, however, Chirn
also stations retrograde and will once again meet up with
transiting Airis also then retrograde at twenty five degrees and
eighteen minutes of areas on October ninth. After that, they
perfect another conjunction when both are direct again at twenty
(17:04):
five degrees in fifty nine minutes of ares, still in
the US Natal fourth house on March nineteenth of twenty
twenty six. That this will come a month after the
exact Saturn Neptune conjunction in Ares on February twentieth of
twenty twenty six provides us with much food for thought
(17:26):
between now and then, as American chaos likely continues to
wound us more here at home than abroad, especially since
transiting the transiting Virgo South node will be in the
US ninth House, signifying how the attempt to control as
(17:47):
the Yabed mentioned by Bean counters Virgo as I've mentioned before,
and we know that Mars is also in Virgo right now,
and he is moving towards conjunction with the South node
between July twentieth and July twenty second, depending on which
(18:09):
nodes who use the mean or the true nodes. So again,
the attempt to control international trade may well result in
a loss in belief in America's stability as a safe
haven for foreign funds and trade among former global allies,
and we see that already beginning to happen. As I've
(18:30):
explained in previous podcasts, now will take approximately a year
from the initial conjunction of Chiron and Eiris on May
twenty sixth of this year for transiting Chiron direct to
then exact square the US Natal Pluto, which will occur
on May one of twenty twenty six and given natal
Pluto's position in the second House of Values, Resources and Finances,
(18:55):
I'd posit now that some pain will start to be
felt for the that for real by then, because you know,
as we've discussed last week, this big, ugly bill that
was passed on July third and signed into law by
Trump on July fourth may not register for a lot
of people who do not keep up with the news
(19:15):
or are who are for what for a myriad number
of reasons, otherwise preoccupied. But you know, and that that
bill had written into it, that's a lot of these
cuts to medicaid and other funding sources will not occur
until after the twenty twenty sixth election in November of
(19:37):
that year. So I'm saying, you know, this is going
to be a crucial period, at least starting as we
lead up to approximately a year from now or a
little less. Now it's further down the road that transitting
Saturn will also can join Eiris at twenty six degrees
in seven minutes areas in the US's fourth House, like
(20:00):
bringing true chaos, and here I'm talking about real and
obvious chaos. To the security of the United States. What
that portends exactly, I can't say, but remember that Eiris,
the goddess of chaos and discord, was Mars's sister in
Greek mythology, who roamed the battlefield, bringing additional pain and
(20:20):
suffering to the wounded and dying. And don't forget also
she's the one who triggered the Drojan War. Now transmitting
Saturn then squares Natal Pluto after he meets up with Eras,
and that will happen exact on July twenty first of
twenty twenty seven, although Eiris won't do the same until
(20:47):
July fourth of twenty thirty three. Now, regular listeners may
remember that I posited that the US Pluto return began
at the January sixth, twenty twenty one Capital riot and insurrection,
which was spurred by sore loser Donald Trump, and that
was the year before the February twenty twenty two exact
(21:10):
conjunction of transiting Pluto to the US Natal Pluto, and
that in terms of recurring energies going back to the
birth of America, that this energy of the Pluto return
will last approximately fourteen years, So that puts our annihilation
and eventual resurrection between January sixth and twenty twenty one
(21:32):
and early twenty thirty four, or it will bring total
destruction to America as a democracy, to be replaced at
some point by something different, and that something different looks
a lot like autocracy and oligarchy right now. Now, Trump's
continued on again, off again tariffs, a new set of
(21:55):
which he announced will go into effect on August first,
Geese certainly continues to alienate American friends and foes alike.
That money and trade have become the source of America's
shifting reputation in the world is already more than obvious
to those who've been paying attention. It's not really what
tariffs end up actually being right now. It's about the
(22:17):
flip flops and uncertainty that's causing the chaos and fear
about eventual economic wounding. So I'm pointing this all out
to you because it's a heads up for the future. Now.
Elon Musk's displeasure with the Big Ugly Bill passed on
July third, and as I said, signed into law on
July fourth, is because it will cut the benefits granted
(22:42):
to his tesla EV sales under former President Biden's Inflation
Reduction Act bill. But Musk, who's completely unconscious that he's
the one who's in charge or has been or was
in charge of taking a wrecking ball to the basic
fundamental foundations of the American governmental structure. It just, you know,
(23:10):
it's just like his actions started the ball rolling, right,
And that was fairly early in Trump's administration, since he
was inaugurated on January twentieth, and I think Musk was
put in charge sometime in February, but certainly my early
to late March, he started, you know, information started coming
(23:31):
out about what cuts were going to be made, and
then subsequently were made. Now, you know, people would argue,
is there any doubt that there's waste in the US government?
Of course not. But for every nepotistic hire or employee
who slacks off at his job, there are millions more
who are dedicated federal employees. And at this point, you know,
(23:57):
I'm not sure what the statistic is, but it's probably
going to get into the six figures before everything is over.
So Musks move fast and break things. Mentality mentioned several
times previously. Combined with the passage of the GOP majority,
Congress's big ugly Bill, I'd say we're likely in for
(24:17):
quite a future. Now, some of this is related to
unnescent Gemini. Hey, let's use technology to change what goes
on in everyday people's lives and neighborhoods. Let's cut FEMA,
NOAH WNWS, that's the Federal Emergency Management Administration. Then oh organization,
(24:40):
I'm not sure what Oh Noah is the Okay, sorry,
I just looked it up to Noah is NOAA, the
National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, which is a scientific and
regulatory agency under the US Department of Commerce, whose mission
is to understand and predict change in climate, weather, oceans,
(25:02):
and coasts, and to share that knowledge and information with others.
And the other organization I just mentioned is the National
Weather Service NWOS. SO, as I was saying, let me
go back and reiterate that, you know, some of this
what's happening right now related to urinescent gemini uranus, which
(25:23):
is speedy and sudden Gemini news information, you know, conversation,
and the conversation goes like this, Hey, let's use technology
to change what goes on in everyday people's lives and neighborhoods.
Let's cut FEMA Noah NWS. Yeah, that'll save us money,
maybe so, but at what cost? This is what seems
(25:46):
to escape someone like Musk, who many still think is
a genius, though I'd submit if there's validity to that claim,
then he's kind of genius who can't find his way
out of a paper bag. And also, as we already know,
one who lacks empathy. Now, Musk would seem to be
(26:06):
the perfect example of someone who needs to release his
lack of limited knowledge about how the government works and
to become more mature and responsible by developing a stronger
sense of empathy and compassion for others, especially at yesterday's
(26:26):
Capricorn full moon, which I'll discuss in a minute. But
here are some of the news on the day that
Uranus entered Gemini July seventh. Here are Trumps from the
New York Times. Here are Trump's new tariff threats. President
Trump has told fourteen countries that they will face tariffs
of at least twenty five percent on August first if
(26:47):
they don't reach agreements by then, and from the partner's perspective.
On July seventh, Trump announced a broad set of new
tariffs via letters to world leaders, with rates taking effect
in August. The list includes twenty five percent tariff's on
goods from Japan, South Korea, Malaysia, Kazakhs down in Tunisia,
thirty percent on South Africa and Bosnia, thirty two percent
(27:08):
on Indonesia, thirty five percent on Bangladesh and Serbia, and
thirty six percent on Cambodia. More tariff announcements are expected
soon as the administration expands its trade offensive against Asia,
Africa and Eastern Europe. End quote also from the Parnas perspective,
which I believe does a very nice job. Aaron Parnas
(27:29):
is his name. He is actually the son of Lev Parnas,
which I think I mentioned last week, but you can
research it. Who is a lawyer who decided about a
year ago to dedicate himself to journalism instead. I believe
he does a great job of summing up news on
a daily basis, and often more than once daily as
(27:51):
news increasingly breaks. But he wrote on July seventh, newly
revealed text and emails from fire DOJ attorney Eras Revenne
show how officials handled court orders on the Alien Enemies
Act and Kilmar Abrego Garcia supporting Revenni's claim that email
Bove suggested telling a court fu This is important since
(28:17):
the Senate is now considering, as we speak, confirmation of
Trump lawyer email Bouve to fill a vacancy on the
Third US Circuit Court of Appeals, which here's cases from Delaware,
New Jersey, and Pennsylvania. Beove served as the acting US
Deputy Deputy Attorney General under Trump's DOJ from January to
(28:40):
March of this year. His time at Department of Justice
has been controversial, with whistleblower allegations that he suggested ignoring
federal court orders to career lawyers. So again, dissolution of
the legal system continues. Now Here's something published by well
known as alisher Kelly Surtees almost a year ago on
(29:03):
August sixth of twenty twenty four, as she looked ahead
to what Uranus and Gemini would bring for the next
seven years from twenty twenty five through twenty twenty three. Quote,
mid twenty twenty five will bring a number of important
shifts as major planets like Saturn, Neptune, and Uranus begin
to change signs. She explained, Uranus will move into Gemini.
(29:25):
On July seventh, twenty twenty five. On November eighth of
twenty twenty five, Uranus will bolt back into Taurus for
one last pass. As I mentioned last week, they'll reunite
with both the Pleiades point of twenty nine Taurus and
also the fixed star algol off with his head twenty
(29:48):
seven Taurus. During that period and surtees continues. On April
twenty sixth of twenty twenty six, Urinus will settle into Gemini,
where it will stay for six years until it begins
to move out of Gema den and into Cancer from
August twenty thirty two. As both Neptune and Urinus will
change signs which they already have in twenty twenty five
(30:10):
and twenty twenty six, the second half of this decade
will look and feel quite differently to the first half.
In Gemini, Uranus will bring disruptive and inventive energy forward
around many Mercurial topics, like education matters relating to children,
because Gemini represents youth, and of course to all kinds
(30:31):
of technological devices and communication patterns. She continues, Mercury is
also involved in business and trade, which are two other
areas likely to undergo huge transitions during this time. Uranus
in a mercury ruled sign has the air of the
innovator and inventor and will likely bring new technologies, especially
(30:52):
about transport, travel and all kinds of commercial matters you know,
think driverless cars and stuff like that. She also adds
Gemini is a humane sign and like all air signs,
represents humanity. A big transit through the sign of Gemini
will show change for the collective. Uranus and Gemini will
likely be a period of flux where systems and social
(31:15):
structures move through periods of chaos as they which I
just explained, as they keep try to keep up with
the rapidly changing nature of society and the needs of
modern humans. Borders and boundaries will shift as people migrate
and move and the way we live evolves. Like all
mutable signs, Sirtiz says, Gemini is known for its changeable nature,
(31:39):
being interested in many things and constantly wanting to flirt
from one thing to another. I'm sorry, constantly wanting to
flit from one thing to another. And add in the
boundary pushing qualities of Uranus and this combination of Uranus
and Gemini will likely be a busy, bustling time where
ideas about rebellion and revelation. And here I think we
(32:01):
can add in the fact that Pluto is an Aquarius
about how to do things differently and why we should.
We'll catch on quickly and spread far and wide. You're
innocent Gemini from twenty twenty five to twenty thirty three
may highlight feelings of restlessness certes ads. In addition, new
(32:22):
ideas about how to live, what's really important and the
way we might collaborate and organize ourselves as groups will emerge. Again.
This is related to Pluto and Aquarius, the sign of
groups and empowerment or disempowerment or disempowerment causing the need
for us to become more empowered through groups. But Sirtis says,
(32:43):
and yes, it may well be tumultuous, as alliances will
shift emerging desires. I mean we're seeing that a little
bit now in the shades of the MAGA supporters who
are upset of all things about the denial by the
Department of Justice's Attorney General Pam Bondi that there is
(33:06):
no such thing as an Epstein file, when previously she
said it was on her desk and she's going to
release it. And because they're so steeped in pedophile conspiracy theories.
They all are up in arms. People like Alex Jones
and others, you know, Tucker Carlson are all up in
(33:27):
arms because nobody's getting to see the list of who
was you know, who was on Jeffrey Epstein's lists and
books and you know, address books and contact lists, and
who was on his airplanes going to his private island
where you know he had teenagers servicing adults and so on. Anyway,
(33:54):
Surtees continues, emerging desires for freedom might push against established
systems and coalitions. This looks like current allegiances coming apart
and new associations or organizations forming now. Also reported by
Aaron Parnus on July seventh, obviously the day Uranus entered
Gemini related to a lot of the archetypes mentioned by
(34:17):
Kelly Surtiz that I just read to you quote. Starting
August first, interest will resume for eight million student loan
borrowers who've been in interest free forbearons since mid twenty
twenty four due to legal challenges to former President Biden's
Save Plan. Trump officials say the move complies with a
(34:39):
court order, though the rulings don't explicitly ban the forbearons.
Trump Agriculture Secretary Brooke Rolins sparked backlash by suggesting Medicaid
recipients could replace deported farm workers, prompting criticism from California's
agriculture industry, which called the idea unrealistic and out of
(35:01):
touch amid ongoing ice raids and a labor crisis fueled
by immigration crackdowns. Now, I read an article, and I
don't have the source right now, about how this was
tried years ago and failed to take people who were
on welfare at that time, back in the eighties. I
(35:21):
think it was the very early nineties before President Clinton
did away with the welfare system in the mid nineteen nineties,
and it again, as I said, it failed miserably. So
here's a case where history, knowledge of history might benefit
some of these people proposing these things. But parness continues.
Ice Attorney Adam Boyd resigned over what he called a
(35:44):
shift from targeting serious threats to chasing deportation quotas, criticizing
the Trump administration's daily arrest target of three thousand, and
fast tracked deportations that sacrifice due process to boost statistics,
and finally Palestinian activists in Columbia. Grad Mahmoud Khalil is
(36:07):
seeking twenty million dollars in damages from the Trump administration,
alleging false imprisonment and malicious prosecution after being detained for
over three months due to his pro Palestinian campus activism.
His legal team says the case reflects an ideological deportation
policy end quote. Now, what I think is clear at
(36:29):
this point is that yesterday's July tenth Capricorn full moon
at eighteen degrees in fifty minutes opposite the cancer Sun
and square to series at fourteen degrees ares given the
passage of that big ugly bill on July third, and
which occurred just past the July second first quarter waxing
(36:51):
crisis and action lunar monthly square of the Libra moon
to the Cancer Sun, which I talked about a little
bit last week, portends the need for intration between inclusion
and restriction. That's because when we planted seeds of compassion
at the May twenty six cancer new moon, the Capricorn
moon now asks us to integrate a serious, responsible, future
(37:16):
oriented plan done with maturity and covering all the bases
here with the ability to do so compassionately. The fact
that this full moon square series indicates that the sticking
point here is that what was done during the first
quarter waxing portion of this moonly elination monthly luination is
(37:37):
at odds with compassionate nurcuaring, particularly through literal food, which
is what sustains human life. So as we contemplate this
and how to deal with the discompassionate way in which
the transiting Virgo south nodes, literal bean counters in Congress
have deprived constituents of both literal food and metaphorical sustenance,
(37:59):
which which is really what series the Goddess of the
Grain represents archetypally, it will be time to review the
situation due to all of this planetary retrograde motion, particularly
of Saturn and Neptune as they moved back from areas
into Capricorn. Now I thought this was just interesting to mention,
(38:25):
so I stuck it in here that on July tenth, yesterday,
at the full moon, it was announced that the birthright
Citizenship Trump executive order was blocked by a judge in
a class action suit. Some of you may be aware
that the Supreme Court's recent decision barred judges from instituting
(38:50):
nationwide injunctions, and that the only workaround to that would
be to bring The point said, if you bar national
injunction injunctions, the judge can only rule for the plaintiff
who brought the case, but he can't extend it to
(39:11):
the nation right. And so in that case, the only
way around that is through class action suits. But it's
kind of a well known fact in legal system that
the Supreme Court also frowns on class action suits. So
a class action suit was brought I believe this was
(39:34):
in New Hampshire, and the judge saw grounds to actually
block Trump's Birthright Citizenship Executive Order as mentioned. So we'll
see how that goes, because it will probably likely be
appealed by Trump and his administration to the Supreme Court again.
And that's because the Supreme Court, in ruling against nationwide
(39:55):
injunctions or the ability of district and federal court judges
to to impose nationwide injunctions was shortsighted and an attempt
by the Court to not deal with the substance of
Trump's Birthright Citizenship Executive Order and the fact that baby's
(40:17):
born henceforth in the United States from parents who were
not born in America or who are not American citizens
will not have citizenship. And also, I just thought this
was kind of amusing that Texas Lieutenant Governor Ken Paxton's
wife filed for divorce. Now Paxton's running for He's running
(40:39):
for governor of Texas. I think he's a governor, not senate.
Hang on, let me check. Okay, Sorry, my mistake. He's
running for the Senate and he'll be running in the
twenty twenty six mid term elections and he'll challenge the incumbent,
who is Senator John Cornyn. So what ironic or amusing
(41:01):
or however you want to look at it is that
the quote I have as State Senator Angela Paxton of Texas,
the wife of the state Attorney General Ken Paxton, current
announced on Thursday. I'm sorry, I said he was a
lieutenant governor. He's the attorney general announced on Thursday that
she had filed for divorce, saying she made her decision
(41:21):
quote on biblical grounds end quote in light of recent discoveries.
The divorce petition, filed by Ms Paxon Paxton in Collin
County on Thursday morning, lists the grounds for divorce that
the quote respondent has committed adultery and that the couple
has not lived together as spouses since June twenty twenty four.
(41:43):
I just thought it was amusing that we have a
religious woman filing for divorce in the state on religious grounds,
which really with separation of church and state. I don't
know what the Texas divorce laws are, but I'd be
(42:04):
surprised if they were based on religion. But who knows.
Some of you in Texas may know, so let me
know if you do. Meanwhile, let's get to these retrogrades too. Then,
the last two the Saturn and Mercury. Saturn station's retrograde
at one degree in fifty six minutes of aries on
July twelfth and thirteenth, but depending on your time zone,
(42:24):
but re enters Pisces on September first and remains retrograde
until he stations direct at twenty five degrees and nine
minutes of pices on November twenty eighth, So July to November.
Saturn Direct then moves forward again and re enters Aries
on February fourteenth of twenty twenty six. Now, the basic
(42:45):
meaning of the Saturn retrograde period requires us to understand
that we are looking for how to become our own
best authority rather than seeking authority from the outside, and
to that end, in combination with Neptune retro great as
they both repeat their backward swim through Pisces, the question
becomes will the veil be removed and people learn that
(43:09):
what they thought to be true about their leaders is
all a bunch of bs. That's because Saturn is authority figures.
So if you don't revere your own authority and you
hand it over to other people, they are the people
that you make your leaders. And that's a substitute for parents.
(43:29):
That it's been an image projected of a savior to
the collective, to which the collective has replied, Yes, save us,
save us from those deep state folks, those illegal emigrants,
those pedophiles, those horrible baby killers. Save us please. So
as Neptune retrograde pulls back again that veil of illusion,
confusion and delusion that many allow themselves to be suckered into,
(43:54):
Saturn reinforces that we are our own best parent and
that the buck stops with each of us in terms
of personal responsibility. Critical thinking skills will become the name
of the game now, especially with Uranus and Gemini, Now,
can you believe everything you read, see, and hear. Will
it require more focus and attention not to become swayed, coerced,
(44:16):
and distracted, for sure, And even that won't stop a
lot of us from continuing to be confused by whether
artificial intelligence presents us with factual information or not, and
whether even though those of us who are more liberal
can refrain from passing unsubstantiated information or gossip or conspiracy
(44:38):
theories that mirror what the right has been doing for
so long. So I can tell you I have seen
a lot of this coming from the left and it's
really upsetting. It's kind of like they become, or they're
slowly becoming, the mirror image of the right. But more
on that on another podcast. This is a pitfall of
(44:58):
Urinus and Gemini, in my opinion, that will move so
fast mentally that we won't fact check or won't believe
the fact check, and therefore won't be able to distinguish
between what's true and what's not. And that's a scary
place to be. So returning to old school habits of
doing our research to verify the facts will become imperative.
(45:20):
And not only the facts but the background of what
led to factual conclusions, especially as information continues to flow
fast and furiously, and some of this can be done
during the Neptune and the Saturn retrograde periods, there is
a lot that will happen with changes to how communication
is transmitted while Uranus is in Gemini as well. I've
(45:42):
mentioned on a previous podcast that most of the world's
communication ninety five percent flows through undersea cables. If that
ain't Neptunian, I don't know what is and ares this
is factually true, despite the fact that most of us
have a assume the bulk of information transmission occurs through satellites. Again,
(46:04):
I'll talk more about this in the future, but keep
in mind that Urinus represents the transmission of electrical current,
Jepani represents information and communication, and that Neptune is the sea,
while Areas is the potential for harm and Saturn for blockage.
So this is a doubt. Topic will undoubtedly return to Anon,
(46:26):
but for now we simply contemplate. Well, for now, simply
contemplating not only a day without the Internet, but a week,
a month, or a year should get our attention. There's
(46:47):
already much going on both on and under the seas,
with China reportedly coming close to the twelve to twelve
mile international water boundary to places like coastal Taiwan, which
it has set its sights on overcoming, especially as US
tariff policies continue to drive other nations toward Chinese economic
(47:09):
dominance over America eventually over the long term. That has
to do, you know, with what's going on now. There is,
of course the ongoing attacks also by the Huthis in
the Straits of Hormuz, which continue despite the recent weakening
of Iran by Israel and Hamas and its support of
(47:29):
the Yemeni Huthis. And that's not mentioning the race toward
undersea mineral mining, a competition in which the US is
currently involved in as well. But the real issue with
Saturn and Neptune and areas, at least for the United States,
is the dissolution of our military from throwing out existing
(47:50):
members of the LGBTQ community to denying potential new military
recruits the opportunity to serve who come from that community,
to the misogyny inherent under DoD Secretarian resident alcoholic Pete Hegseth.
No surprise Neptunes and areas while an escapist through alcohol
(48:14):
is in charge of our military. Huh to the removal
of federal troops from their mission to protect Americans from
outer harm, to placing them on the streets of our
cities to aid ICE agents in their illegal roundup of
legal aliens, some illegal, many legal. We've got a reason
(48:34):
to worry, at least in my opinion. That's because, according
to the publication Defense News on July seventh, quote, two
hundred Marines are deploying to support US Immigration and ICE
immigration and Customs enforcement in Florida. US Northern Command announced
the Marines from Marine Support Squadron two seven to two
(48:55):
Marine Air Corps Marine Corps Air Station New River, North Carolina,
are part of the seven hundred troops mobilized by Secretary
of Defense pe tag Seth to provide logistical support to
Department of Homeland Security operations after the agency requested assistance
on May ninth. These seven hundred troops will include active
(49:18):
duty National Guarden Reserve forces under Title ten authority. The
Marines traveling to Florida will be the first wave of
Northcomb's mobilization to assist with quote critical administrative and logistical
capabilities at locations as directed by ICE. According to a release,
(49:38):
other troops will be deployed to Texas and Louisiana. The
support requested by DHS includes tasks related to transportation, logistics
and administrative functions. The Marines are not authorized to make
arrests or carry out law enforcement functions, but there'll be
more on that than on as well. Plus there are
(49:59):
a proximately, according to news reports, one hundred National Guard
personnel assigned to the Florida Immigration Detention Center that Trump
is calling Alligator Alcatraz, another Neptune, Saturn Neptune and ares
archetypal energy. According to ABC News on July third, when
(50:20):
quote a spokesperson for the Florida National Guards said that
the Guard personnel are being used to help secure the
perimeter and perform administrative duties. So our military is now
being used as prison guards. And there you have it.
Next week, as we approach the third quarter monthly waning
lunar crisis and consciousness square of the areas Moon to
(50:43):
the cancer sun and Mercury's retrograde in Leo on July
seventeenth and eighteenth, respectively, will be welcoming in the suspension
of our logical, empirical right brain reasoning capability and replacing
it with what our soul knows to be intuitively true.
The hope is that by the third quarter Waning Square,
(51:06):
more and more people will rally to demand Ari's moon,
more compassion and nurturing for those wess well off and
who need protection, and that Mercury's retrograde from then until
August eleventh, when Mercury stations direct again, though we'll also
(51:29):
have Chiron joining the retrograde party in Aris on July thirtieth.
Our review will bring to the forefront how inspiration can
create our future, As youngie and astrologer Aaron Sullivan notes
in her book Retrograde Planets Traversing the Inner Landscape, Sullivan
says she says this about Mercury's current retrograde and fire
(51:53):
signs where Mercury has retrograded since late December of twenty
twenty three. During this time, we've been tasked with increasing
our quote capacity to see the past, the present, and
the future of possibilities in all things. In this way,
she says, we create the future. We are made up
of not only our past, but also our future. She
(52:17):
states in her book, when Mercury's retrograde cycle is in
the fire trigone. It may well indicate that you're going
through a transition of your creative focus in an outward direction.
This is highlighted during the twenty two day periods of retrogression.
It means that you will have to relearn how to
play and how that adds a dimension of creativity to
(52:38):
your life. Creativity, more than just painting, music and the
other fine arts, is a lifestyle. How do you respond
to crisis, for example, with anger and resistance, or with
an increased awareness of the continual necessity to shift gears
or look at life with renewed vision. This fire retrograde
(52:59):
will test your ability to respond to life with spontaneous
energy and to be more creative with your decisions for change.
I do believe that this has been exemplified at least
over the past six months or even around the world
in places like Israel. Prior to that, where people took
(53:22):
to the streets. In Israel, they took to the streets
to leading up to October seventh of twenty twenty three,
when Israel was attacked by Ramas that the issue was
about the proposal to ban their Supreme court from having
(53:45):
jurisdiction over certain subjects that had to do with people's rights.
Since then, we've seen that happen here and people have
taken to the streets right, So Sullivan can tenures. On
a practical level, your awareness of sedentary habits may provoke
a fitness urge. Psychosomatic illnesses can arise that points specifically
(54:09):
to the area of the psyche that is cramped or
under active. If you are in the artistic world, then
a block may be the very symptom that indicates the
need for change in technique or style. Ultimately, this retrograde
cycle will accent the need to experiment with new forms
of being, new forms of thinking of yourself, and new
(54:31):
ways of relating to your sources of inspiration. I do believe,
since Urinus is in Gemini and Urinus again is very
much related to the conduction of electrical energy, which has
to do with the nerves in our own physical body,
that as communication is distributed from the brain throughout the
(54:56):
rest of the body, that this is an important thing
to think about, because what she's saying here to me
is that this can spur again quote, new forms of
thinking of yourself and new ways of relating to your
sources of inspiration. So because Urinus is often known as
(55:19):
a revelatory energy, there will be, as we've said, a
lot of revelations about technology and communication and things like that.
But here on a personal level, this can relate again
during this Mercury retrograde period to inspiration on a personal level,
and she ends by saying, by assessing the houses that
(55:42):
the fire trigon occupies, you will find some hints about
the source of the restlessness the revision of creative focus
in your life. Over the next couple of years, although
again this is coming to an end soon, can drastically
alter your future direction and a way more appropriate to
the new emerging you, and for your own sake, find
(56:03):
ways to relax and enjoys life patterns. What she's saying too,
is that in the fire trigone you know, and this
one is in Leo.
Speaker 1 (56:12):
Leo is the.
Speaker 2 (56:14):
Sign of ruled by the Sun. We are creative, we
can take risks, and we are not afraid. Right. Fire
signs tend to lack fear, and that will be the
case at least through this last of the Mercury retrogrades
(56:35):
and fire signs before it starts to retrograde back into
water signs, which shifts some of the message starting in
November of this year. So all right, lots to think about, oh,
I would just say that as for the retrograde period
of the Wounded Healer Chiron, we'll talk more about that
(56:57):
on future podcasts, but in general, it will also be
a period of review from July thirtieth until he stations
direct again on January tewod of twenty twenty six. We'll
go deep about what's wounded us in the past and
how we might more consciously deal with unconscious behavioral patterns
that no longer serve us or our future happiness moving forward.
(57:21):
All right, so thank you everyone for joining me. I
hope you've found the information presented here helpful as you
continue your karmic evolution in this lifetime. Please be sure
to join me for next week on July eighteenth for
another episode of this podcast. Until then, may your soul's
journey be filled with karmaic healing and the joy of
(57:42):
greater consciousness namaste.
Speaker 1 (57:45):
Long ago, before this days confusion did be again.

barrier and time and had no.
