Star Struck Style

Nazi Salute (source: Bluesky)

I’m a little concerned about next week’s full moon in Leo in the light of current events. The monthly newsletter I receive from astro.com does nothing to allay those fears. It reads as follows:

“On February 4, Jupiter ends its retrograde. It brings a fresh breeze into the communication channels and enables a lively exchange with others. This sense of ease gains support when the Sun in Aquarius conjoins Mercury on February 9, already in loose tension with Uranus. The square of Mercury and Uranus will be exact on the 10th and that of the Sun and Uranus on the 11th. During this time, you can expect surprising news and sudden events that may also make it necessary to adjust previous rules of the game.

On February 12, there is a Full Moon in Leo. The Sun, Moon, and Uranus form a T-square, and retrograde Mars in Cancer is still in tension with Chiron and trine Saturn. There is a crackling tension in the air; nerves are on edge here and there. Some people may feel somewhat thin-skinned, and the nervousness and impatience of this time could overwhelm them. Find an outlet to channel your energy, whether it is through sports or physically demanding work. This is a favorable time for all kinds of creative activity. On February 14, Mercury enters sensitive Pisces, followed by the Sun on the 18th. The tension of the last few days can now be released, sometimes with strong emotions.”

The situation in America is getting worse by the minute. I’m not sure which way it will go, but I am sure that the full moon square Uranus could result in a completely unexpected outcome. Everyday in the USA seems “unprecedented” lately, but this configuration screams that word out loud.

Whatever happens, I’m glad that I’m not living down there, and I’m thrilled with myself for announcing my boycott of America on the day that Donald Trump was reelected. The complacent, complicit morons that allowed this to happen are going to get what they deserve. In the meantime, I am becoming more and more active in local politics where I can actually make a difference. I can’t be the moral conscience of the world, but I can be the moral conscience of my own little world. If that means spreading the word about how dangerous both Donald Trump and Elon Musk are to the people I meet every day, I’m already doing the right thing. I suggest that you all do the same. In the age of Pluto in Aquarius, this bullshit is only going to end when we collectively decide to end it.
