Full Moon

. . . beginning to ground after the eclipses

Eclipses are known for being times of upsets, disturbances, and dismantling. In a positive way, eclipses help us get unstuck, reveal the hidden places where dust and debris have collected, and shed light on possibilities not considered before. Today, we end the eclipse time. Now we can begin to assimilate the insanity of the past six weeks.

During eclipse times, I listen and pay attention like a toddler. Nothing sticks in my mind and I am constantly moving onto the next thing. I freely say No!, and then change my mind. Everything I read in the news, I assume will change. I don’t trust any promises or threats. Most things that happen during an eclipse are meant to stir the pot. We have to wait til the pot-stirring dies down to actually eat the soup.

We are about to eat the soup. Over the last six weeks, France has had 2 prime ministers and now has none. A coup in Nepal put a woman into the role of PM. A coup in Thailand took out a woman PM¹. Much of the U.N. walked out on Netenyahu. “Peace talks” between Hamas and the Western imperial powers produced . . . we don’t know yet. Some guy, most of us never hear of, with a common name, was shot (and this was the major news for weeks). The US President went to England. The U.S. Department of Defense was renamed the Department of War, but not officially or legally. The head of said department made a speech. People died in earthquakes in Afghanistan and the Philippines, a landslide in Darfur, and in mass shootings in the US (over 40 killed over the past 6 weeks).

With all the rhetoric over the past 6 weeks, we shall now see what was real and what wasn’t. What of the crazy talk is sticking and what isn’t. I imagine something will shift now with the US government shut-down. Middle East peace talks will move out of talk into action.

As Pluto is still out-of-bounds south, collapse is all around. Of the five potential futures (collapse, revolution, reformation, paradigm shift, and awakening), collapse is the popular one for this first round of Pluto OOB south (Sept - Nov 2025). With people losing their jobs, AI let loose on the population, and people with little experience or intelligence put into major roles, it is likely that things in the US are moving into decline—which is the opposite of authoritarianism. Authoritarianism, when a leader takes total control, requires infrastructure. People have to be able to communicate. There needs to be people working in positions where they know where the copy machine is, or they know how to work the technology, or know how to write a legal document, or know where the water valve is, or know how to enter data into the software, or know who to talk to for getting buy in. The current administration, with its multiple crazy people with multiple prejudicial agendas, is not setting itself up for control. In its attempt to force its fear on the rest of us, it appears to be succeeding, but it is leading to implosion—the thing that always happens Pluto OOB south.

With Elbridge Colby (a guy who spent a bunch of time in Japan as a kid) focused on anti-China policies, and Marco Rubio (with his anti-Castro Florida home base) trying to take over Venezuela, Cuba, and the rest of Central America, and Stephen Miller (a guy who was bullied by immigrants as a kid) focused on destroying our harvest and the lives of the many Brown people in this country who provide necessary services, and Lindsey Graham (old-school Republicans following along the anti-Muslim paranoia of the W./Cheney years) focused on destroying the Middle East , . . . . the big question becomes, Who gets the missiles? Who gets the generals? Who gets to win? In the center, the two dumbest people to have ever found their way into office. Hegsrump. This is a recipe for internal combustion.

I do believe in karma. I believe in karma of place—the land breathes in all the events of things that have happened on the soil and repeats until healed. I believe in the karma of ancestors—whether we want to or not, we have to process inter-generational trauma. I believe in the karma of countries—what comes around, goes around. The US is responsible for destabilizing democracies all over the globe for the last 200 years. While I would rather not be dealing with reactions from the actions of the Dulles brothers, Henry Ford, the Bush dynasty, the Morgan dynasty, the Rockefeller dynasty, the Prince family, the tech-bros, and Ayn Rand philosophies, here we are. We can’t be a country that destroys the rest of the world while we sit pretty with our money-printing and our weapons of mass destruction. The BRICS nations is a real consortium that is about to become the reigning super powers, leaving the US behind. These countries in their willingness to forge alliances, while the US and UK destroy alliances, are finding their way through Pluto OOB South in a way that works, satisfying Persephone as she rises.

On a completely different note, paradigm shift and awakening are happening in the background. Mostly experienced as increased synchronicity, decreased focus on materialism, increased collaboration in our daily lives, and increased education in self-governance. We are learning a lot—a lot of civics, a lot about our health, a lot about laws, a lot about the little decisions and actions that impact our lives greatly. The more we learn and can digest, the more capable we are of democracy. Learning how to tell when something is fake or false, is becoming a superpower. Truth is not just about information, data, or intellectual conclusions. Truth is resonance. Truth is something that rings within us. As AI tries to destroy our truth sensitivity, in reality, we are just getting better at it. (Tell me this isn’t true.)

Things backfire during Pluto OOB south. Watch AI backfire. Watch this administration’s attempt at autocracy backfire. Watch as the corporate takeover backfires. Yes—it is likely to destroy a lot in the process. These backfires are not likely to be fun or pretty. The more we stay tuned into the possibilities and the unleashed creativity of Persephone rising, the more empowered we become.

1. Technically it is not being called a coup, but it kind of looks like one.
