Post-Election Reflection

Too much earth and water. The fire and air are coming.

Ok. So it’s done. The election. Here we are. I thought Harris had a good chance of winning, but I wasn’t able to completely discount Trump, with Jupiter transiting his 10th house. Like I have said many times, so bear with me if I say it again, the change begins in 2025 in whispers and takes off in 2026.

In my talk at Traditions in the summer of 2024, I shared that I thought this election would be more of the same. The same it is. With the outer planets all near the final degrees of earth and water signs, the magic to move the needle just wasn’t there.

But don’t worry too much, because it will not be four more years of Trump doing his Trump stuff. There is a movement that begins next year that is sweeping, that is global, that is activating, and that is ultimately successful.

While it would have been great to elect Kamala, and have Peggy Flanagan become the first Native American governor of a state, the backlash would have been intense with the Mars-Pluto opposition, giving right-wing gun-toting “freedom” fighters a chance to disrupt and act out. Now the Mars-Pluto opposition is available for those of us looking for a true change in the political scheme of things. This portal moment (Sep 2024 – May 2025) is more about working to transform our anger into passion, our rage into a movement, and our grief into loving kindness. While many will be motivated to react, these reactions will likely not help much. It is still too soon. We need to take the winter to hone our craft, develop skills, organize, and arrive at a true movement to turn the humanity ship in a new direction. Then we can take advantage of the incredibly awesome transits starting in the spring of 2025, that will catapult world movements for a global awakening, a scientific paradigm shift, and a revolution, both peaceful (hopefully) and penetrating.

Now we know the direction our movement needs to take. The how, what, where, the hashtags and monikers, the faces and places, these are yet to be determined. Tune into how you want to participate. What is your calling in all of this? Take the winter to transform into the person you need to be to take a stand and be true to yourself as the world changes.
