Random Sage with Maryann from Revealing Light

Across the US society, many are being traumatised by the current government, from black people through to women, trans and migrant communities. Meanwhile, economic indicators continue to worsen. Fast forward to the midterms and Erika from In The Company of Cards and myself take a look at what will be a critical election for the US.

As expected, the incoming US President has already upset allies, his own MAGA movement and been at the centre of the criminal court and justice system. 2025 will not be for the fainthearted, yet within the volatility are opportunities for strength and effective local action.

So much of our time is spent assuming the worst will happen and giving into our fears but this holiday season I will be looking for happiness in simplicity and understanding that what we fear does not necessarily come to pass. It's time to understand our power within the Collective and create the world in which we want to live.

This week's SCOTUS ruling on presidential immunity has laid bare the abuse of power of America's highest court. It follows the disunity within the Democratic Party post presidential debate, at a perilous time. However, vulnerability should create courage and unity to win against the proposed dictatorship offered by the MAGA Republican Party. Can the US Republic survive these challenges?

All things cannot be unstable forever. There is always a restructuring after chaos & destruction, and so for those who feel helpless watching current global events unfold, understand that great change is occurring and resolution & new order are the result.

With a backdrop of potent planetary conjunctions, solar flares and war on the ground, as well as an uptick in climate events, we should ask ourselves where we are placed spiritually in an era of accelerated change. Are we ascending or descending. I believe, the choice is ours individually at this time. Light or darkness?

The peaceful protests by students in the US and elsewhere across the world, against the continued murder of muslims in Gaza & the failure to negotiate hostage release, are a stark reminder that truth knows no sides and to try and suppress that truth is a dangerous moral slippery slope.

Uranus energy can deliver lightening events which bring much needed change and breakthroughs in intractable and ongoing situations. Beneficial Jupiter energy will expand what Uranus delivers. The conjunction occurs in the fixed energy of Taurus on April 20th 2024. Rather than viewing this conjunction negatively, we can expect the unpredictable that can lead, in time, to the goals and future we desire.

So much of our social media is consumed with hate. US singer and icon Taylor Swift called out hate in her iconic song...ironically she is now the subject of violent threats and vitriol because she advocates for liberal values, rights and freedoms. Feelings of hate always find a useful home in those that seek power. It's up to us to choose our politicians wisely...do we choose the haters, or those who moderate and heal divisions.

We all suffer burnout at some point...we over-extend or we simply get lost in a world that is often lost itself. We can find our compass again through replenishing our wellbeing and, in the process, rediscovering and renewing our spiritual purpose.

In butterflies we see the fragility & joy of life. The average butterfly lives for just 2 weeks, and some species 8-11 months. They remind me that life is short, precious and all the more sacred for its brevity. Butterflies have also been a symbol of hope for me, and their proliferation around me at this time, perhaps, is an indication that there can be peace in the Middle East in 2024. I hope so.

The tragedies unfolding across the world due to the utter destruction and devastation of war...religion, murder and oppression, land and imperialism...drive a new awareness among many beyond the ignorance of cultural and political agendas. I believe the horror we are witnessing is leading to a spiritual paradigm shift which will change our world's timeline better. For those who are aware, Spirit has your back.

Faith and belief, and what we believe is an individual thing, yet there are those who would drag us all in to what they believe. That's a dogma, as a spiritualist, that I reject. Will there ever be a time when we are not persecuted for what we believe and how we express that belief? My prediction is that we are moving towards a freedom to believe in our truth, not someone else's version of it.
