JOHN TOWNLEY discusses relationships during Libra season under the recent Libra New Moon

 JOIN SHERI HORN HASAN @ KARMIC EVOLUTION DOT COM FOR THIS WEEK’S PODCAST  to review the overall themes of the recent March 25 & April 8 eclipses, when they came into play, & where their influence is being felt most!We look back also as last year’s eclipses to learn how they’ve influenced recent events, including Donald Trump’s multiple legal indictments--& how these two most recent eclipses, along with Mercury retrograde, resulted in losses of three appeals in his ongoing court cases.We’ll look also at the recent eclipse driven earthquakes as symbolic wake up calls as Mercury retrograde conjoined Eris in Aries at the April 8 solar eclipse & then moved back to rejoin the Aries Sun April 11, the day of O.J. Simpson’s passing. We review how last fall’s Eris/North Node conjunction & eclipses manifested in former GOP House speaker Kevin McCarthy’s fall from power, & Rep Mike Johnson’s political elevation—all under the influence of dwarf planet Eris, goddess of chaos & discord!This podcast reviews also how, under both Venus & Mercury in the god of war Mars-ruled Aries—but Mercury now retrograde until April 25—Israel withdraws troops from southern Gaza but vows to continue its goal to eliminate Hamas. However, the message of the most recent eclipses has been to release old, unsuccessful, goals & to review, revise, & realign with new ones.In addition, learn how the April 8 solar eclipse conjunct wounded healer Chiron is playing out in terms of turning the tide toward greater healing for women’s rights to bodily autonomy. Hint: Mercury’s retrograde, so it’s one step back, but hopefully two steps forward as Arizona & Florida resurrect archaic abortion laws, but their courts allow referendums on women’s rights to abortion onto the November 5 upcoming election ballots—a move sure to bring more pro-choice advocates to the polls.And how we’re headed now for a Sun/Eris conjunction on April 14, just before the April 15 first quarter waxing lunar square of the Cancer Moon to the Aries Sun, as we head toward the Sun’s entrance into Taurus April 19 & the Jupiter/Uranus conjunction April 20! Will additional chaos result in more confusion or greater revelations that bring clarity?Join us for all this & more Astro News You Can Use at KARMIC EVOLUTION DOT COM starting today! See you then!

 JOIN SHERI HORN HASAN AT KARMIC EVOLUTION DOT COM FOR THIS WEEK’S PODCAST--which drops April 5 @ 11 a.m. PT & 2 p.m. ET—to learn more about how we arrived at this energy & what to expect moving forward…When we extrapolate current astrological energies out of collective happenings down into the level of the personal, we might ask ourselves now: “What dream did I plant at the March 10 Pisces New Moon that I’m now finding was unrealistic because I will be, in the end, unable to successfully manifest it out in the world?And where, at the March 25 Libra Full Moon, did I need to release any tendency to fight rather than create an environment of peace & harmony? OR where did I decide to go along to get along & acquiesce with others against my true wishes?And how, as we approach the Aries New Moon solar eclipse on April 8, can I recognize—as Mercury retrogrades in Aries until April 25 & Mars waxes toward a conjunction with Saturn in Pisces April 10—that I must reorient my creative aspirations into ones more concretely possible in the real world?This podcast outlines the major happenings within the collective since the Capricorn Moon & dwarf planet Ceres squared the Aries Sun & transiting karmic nodal axis at the third-quarter lunar square April 1. (Hint: Ceres is related to “sustenance” in the form of both literal food & faith, as it’s when our bellies are full that we can have faith that we needn’t worry about from where our next meal will come.)And how the April 3 Venus/Neptune conjunction in Pisces—though fleeting—dissolved any fantasies around the success of previous plans because they’ve now proven to be unworkable.Further, we’re watching now how Venus’s April 4 entrance into Mars-ruled Aries transforms the goddess of beauty & love into a warrior for relationships, which--through negotiation & compromise—can prove more harmonious & peaceful in the end.We’re challenged now—as Mars waxes toward an exact conjunction to Saturn in Pisces April 10--with the frustrating task of divining a new, more workable, plan for the future. And we have two choices with this aspect: fatigue & depression OR exhaustion after we put our shoulder to the wheel & work hard to achieve success.It's up to each of us to decide which way will prove more healing given Chiron’s prominent presence conjunct the Sun & Moon in Aries at this solar eclipse, which calls us to act in order to heal old wounds.By April 11, when the Aries Sun meets Mercury retrograde at their inferior conjunction, we will doubtless hear some kind of major announcement from the powers that be. And it will likely be something that’s revising an older policy or plan because, as noted, Mercury is retrograde--a time when we review & revise our previous courses of action. And it’s then we hopefully will hear something meant to promote further healing within the collective.Tune in to KARMIC EVOLUTION DOT COM to hear more details about how astrological events within the collective illustrate how these heavenly energies manifest on terra firma! And what else they may reveal at the April 8 Aries New Moon solar eclipse!Check it all out for more Astro News You Can Use & this don’t miss podcast episode that illustrates how real-life events enlighten us all about our future direction—both personally & collectively!

JOIN SHERI HORN HASAN @KARMIC EVOLUTION DOT COM for the latest podcast, which drops March 29 @ 11 a.m. PT & 2 p.m. ET, about how the recent March 25 & upcoming April 8 eclipses—AND Mercury’s retrograde in Aries April 1-25—kick off a long-term review of both current partnerships & creative projects!This includes a look at how the March 25 Libra Full Moon lunar eclipse revealed changes in our relationships to others—both personal & as part of the collective. In addition, we discuss how Mercury’s station retrograde from 27-degrees 10-minutes Aries April 1 back to 16-degrees Aries on April 25--when it stations direct again--provides us all the opportunity to review where & how we need to make changes to those which no longer inspire us. This Mercury retrograde period may stall the flow of our creative juices—temporarily—but the gift is time to review where we may have lost our mojo & need to recapture the kind of intuitive inspiration that helps us better plan our future. This theme is likely to be most prevalent when Mercury hits the upcoming Mars-ruled April 8 Aries New Moon solar eclipse degree of 19-degrees 24-minutes of the archetypal sign of motivation, ambition, & proactive assertion.This period is already activated since Mercury already conjoined this eclipse degree circa March 20/21, will do so again when retrograde on April 16, & once more when direct on May 5. Combined with the theme of this spring eclipse season, we’re asked to reorient our creative pursuits in order to release any stagnant non-productive energy & make way for something new—partnerships included.As always, we discuss also the specifics of where partners have come together to negotiate, compromise, & successfully change their attitudes toward each other, & where, sadly, people & nations are still at war. Given that the April 8 solar eclipse has both luminaries tightly conjunct wounded healer Chiron, we discuss as well how future healing may be possible since repercussions of the Libra Full Moon lunar eclipse last through November 20, 2024—the day the South Node conjoins the March 25 lunar eclipse degree. Which, btw, also happens to be the day after Pluto reenters Aquarius on November 19 for the next 19 years.If you’re ready to delve more deeply into the March 25 Libra Full Moon lunar eclipse’s already realized effects on partnerships AND learn what’s yet to come with the April 8 Aries New Moon Solar eclipse, then this podcast is a don’t miss!

JOIN SHERI HORN HASAN @ KARMIC EVOLUTION DOT COM FOR THIS WEEK’S PODCAST EXPLORING THIS ECLIPSE’S MESSAGE THAT  AN OPPOSITIONAL “IT’S MY WAY OR THE HIGHWAY” ATTITUDE ONLY GETS YOU SO FAR, WHILE NEGOTIATION & COMPROMISE OF THE “TRY TO SEE IT MY WAY KIND” PROMISES A BETTER CHANCE FOR PEACE! This Libra Full Moon lunar eclipse asks us to realize that true partnership takes hard work & the commitment now to release any romanticized notions that relationship can magically simply work--without some kind of realistic effort to empathize with those of opposing viewpoints. The Beatles lyrics of “We Can Work It Out” come to mind: “Try to see it my way, do I have to keep on talking till I can’t go on? If we see it your way, things may fall apart before too long…we can work it out, we can work it out…”But “can we work it out?” is the question as this Libra Full Moon lunar eclipse which occurs at 5’07 Libra at midnight PT & 3 a.m. ET March 25. Falling in the 9th House of law, immigration, morality, integrity, etc., & opposing the Aries Sun in the 3rd House of communication of the U.S. capitol illustrates the philosophical differences between those who prefer to duke it out with those who are willing to compromise for the sake of a higher purpose.The key lies with duking it out for the purpose of negotiating a compromise at this lunation, especially since both luminaries are waxing toward squares to Washington, D.C.’s 10’13” Capricorn/Cancer Ascendant/Descendant.This lunar eclipse has the Libra Moon standing alone against Aries Sun reminding it that independent action can only work for so long before some kind of partnership agreement can be reached. Negotiation & compromise is the only way to settle long term disputes in ways that may not make everyone joyous, but satisfies both parties enough in the end to forge a harmonious peace.This eclipse lunation is similar to the the Pisces New Moon on March 10 in that all of the planets are squished into a crowded conglomeration including from Jupiter in Taurus to Pluto in Aquarius. Back then, however, the Pisces Moon & Sun came together and were included in this fold, indicating both the possibility for a myopic focus in the negative sense, but also a strong sense of concentrated attention that could benefit specific areas of life. Now, since the conglomeration of planets is almost exactly the same--with the exception of the Sun’s move into Aries on March 18 & Mars pending move into Pisces March 22—this eclipse lunation differs basically because the Libra Moon is now opposing the Aries Sun which resides within this group.So we have a situation where the Libra Moon’s plea for negotiation & compromise toward a peaceful resolution of disputes between partners can be recognized in stark contrast to the ideologies of Pluto in Aquarius, the impetus for war amongst the planets in Aries, including the Sun, Chiron, Mercury, & Eris (Mars’s sister in Greek mythology & the dwarf planet known as the goddess of discord & chaos), & the realization that we all share in the Piscean commitment to help those less fortunate than ourselves. At this eclipse, the Libra Moon is separating from a trine to Pluto in Aquarius, & a quincunx to Mars in Pisces. The former denotes a potential agreement between partners through negotiation, the latter a necessary adjustment as Mars moves from ideological warrior in Aquarius to a more empathic & compassionate one in Pisces. That’s especially true as Venus now separates from Saturn in Pisces, a conjunction aspect that signifies commitment in partnership. Today’s podcast, which drops at 11 a.m. PT & 2 p.m. ET 2 KARMIC EVOLUTION DOT COM, explores how we got here from there through a look back at this month’s lunar cycle since March 10 & the one from February 9, with a detailed discussion of what’s been revealed to us all since then & what needs to be released now. Included in this is a look at GOP presidential candidate Donald Trump’s chart & how public perception has changed over time due to transiting Pluto’s quincunx to his Leo Ascendant & the royal star Regulus, & transiting Uranus’s approach to his Taurus Midheaven. Whether he pulls himself out of his current financial mess—which requires he post a $454 million bond by March 25, the day of the lunar eclipse—or not, we look at whether this portends further losses in public support for him…Don't miss this enlightening podcast!

 JOIN SHERI HORN HASAN @KARMIC EVOLUTION DOT COM FOR THE LATEST ASTRO NEWS YOU CAN USE AS WE MOVE OUT OF PISCEAN APATHY & INTO MARTIAL RESISTANCE WHEN THE SUN ENTERS ARIES AT THE SPRING EQUINOX MARCH 21!While Mercury’s in Mars-ruled Aries from March 9 through April 29—the sign through which he’ll next retrograde from April 1-25—expressions of angry impatience over world events such as those in Gaza may well continue to increase. This is especially true since Venus—in Pisces from March 9 through April 5—will join Mercury in Aries April 5 for the rest of his journey through that sign.What does this mean? Mercury rules not only communication, but siblings, local business & transportation, & “near neighborhoods,” including relatives like aunts, uncle, & cousins. We can plainly see anger building over events this week around the too slow transportation of food & medicine into places like Gaza, where children are dying of malnutrition. Also in Haiti where more than a million children--a quarter of the population--are currently cut off from food and vital services due to the recent violence there, according to the charity Save The Children.In addition, many domestic legal “arguments” have been heard this week & will continue to be heard by the U.S. Supreme Court during the period of these Mercury & Venus transits. Venus in Pisces, is exalted according to traditional astrology, , yes, but that doesn’t change its propensity for naivete or the ability to play the victim or the martyr—which as Howard Sasportas points out in his book “The Gods of Change” are really two sides of the same coin.So, as anger builds over the mistreatment of others (Mercury is in Mars-ruled Aries & Mars highest function is to defend & protect those weaker or unable to defend themselves), while the dissolution of women’s rights offends Venus as she travels first through Neptune-ruled Pisces but soon will move into Mars-ruled Aries as well, as noted.So, issues of women’s rights as they’ve been flowing down the drain since the Supreme Court’s Dobbs legal decision in June 2022 (Venus represents how we value feminine divine energy) have ignited a great deal of anger which is only likely to increase more openly when Venus transits through Aries soon.This week, however, the Sun conjoins Neptune March 17, making us all more prone to feel for the masses who need protection from harm because we’re able to relate to their victimization now. When the Sun moves into Aries March 21, such empathy may turn into action, as evidenced by Senate majority leader Chuck Schumer’s recent call for new elections in Israel--essentially to dethrone current right wing Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu from power there.Sentiments of this sort are likely to increase as Mercury conjoins wounded healer Chiron in Aries March 20 & the likelihood for further commitment to empowerment for the downtrodden to increase may arrive when the Aries Sun sextiles Pluto in Aquarius (read: an opportunity for such empowerment) & Venus conjoins Saturn, an aspect of commitment & responsibility in relationships.Join us for more @Karmic Evolution Dot Com, when this latest podcast drops at 11 a.m. PT & 2 p.m. ET today--including Mars’s movement into Neptune ruled Pisces March 22 & Venus’s sextile to Jupiter March 24, as we move toward the upcoming March 25 Libra Full Moon solar eclipse! See you then! Namaste…

JOIN SHERI HORN HASAN @KARMIC EVOLUTION DOT COM ON MARCH 9 TO LEARN HOW THE MESSAGES OF THE LAST AQUARIUS NEW MOON FEBRUARY 9 LEAD US NOW TO PLANT SEEDS OF RECOGNITION THAT WE’RE ALL IN THIS TOGETHER AT THE PISCES NEW MOON!This week’s podcast reviews the deeper meaning of the last monthly lunar cycle (hint: it’s about learning that not all dreams are capable of becoming reality) & illustrates that when we’re in a time of confusion the Pisces New Moon phase will remind us that from chaos comes clarity!The Pisces New Moon, at 20-degrees 16-minutes Pisces at 2 a.m. PT & 5 a.m. ET March 10, has both luminaries sandwiched between planets in only four other signs—from Pluto at 1’27” Aquarius through Uranus at 19’52 Taurus, concentrating our energies now. On one hand we may be more myopic (read: more subjective than objective), but on the other more focused & better able to concentrate.However, with the Moon, Sun, Saturn, Neptune, and Hygeia--the goddess asteroid of health--all in Pisces, things have been murky for a while. As we emerge from the Aquarius New Moon square Uranus in Taurus cycle—which represented sudden shifts in our ideological values, particularly as they relate to our partnerships—we’ll soon be called to express empathy for others, especially since the Mercury/Neptune conjunction of March 8.We’re tasked now with releasing all wishful or fantastical thinking & grounding the planting of our new Moon seeds into caring for others through the knowledge that we are all one; all part of the greater collective’s energies; all brothers & sisters under the skin.With Juno, the goddess asteroid of partnership, opposing Saturn, however, this might not prove so easy. Some of this was illustrated at President Biden’s State of the Union address March 7, as we waxed toward March 8’s Sun/Neptune conjunction in Pisces.While he expressed the urgency of March 9’s Mars/Uranus square by saying “I see a future of defending democracy where we protect our right to freedoms, not take them away,” the GOP rebuttal from Alabama Senator Katie Britt’s exposed to a wide audience the GOP’s more dystopian view.This ideological schism could not be wider and, though in play for quite some time now, it’s the Pisces New Moon that will remind us that “no man is an island, no man stands alone…each man’s joy is joy to me, each man’s grief is my own.” If we can get with that program, ideological differences can dissolve & true caring for our fellow human beings can rise to the surface…Join Sheri @ KARMIC EVOLUTION DOT COM for a look at these ongoing energies & for more Astro News You Can Use, including more about the greater messages this Pisces New Moon brings us all!

JOIN ASTROLOGER SHERI HORN HASAN @ KARMIC EVOLUTION DOT COM FOR THIS WEEK’S “KARMIC EVOLUTION’S ASTROLOGICALLY SPEAKING!” PODCAST for a discussion of how the bigger astro picture is shaping the future both in the U.S. & globally…This podcast explores how the current 36-year Saturn/Pluto in Capricorn cycle, which began January 12, 2020, is bringing new alignments in terms of partnerships—which is happening as we head toward the end of the 36-year cycle of Saturn to Neptune starting in early 2026.We look back at past Saturn/Pluto & Saturn/Neptune cycles as we head toward the beginning of the new Saturn/Neptune cycle which begins February 20, 2026, for the next 36 years. Learn the historical facts related to these astrological cycles & how they pose similar questions for our future…Will the new world order forming now—especially since Russia’s invasion of Ukraine two years ago has strengthened the NATO alliance—portend the weakening of America as a dominant world power? Especially with the current chaos in Congress & the uncertainty around the November 5 U.S. presidential election?All this as Pluto’s about to enter Aquarius for the next 19 years on November 19, 2024, until March 2043, & we’re still dealing with the repercussions of the U.S. Pluto return. This podcast explores, too, the repercussions of the once every 162-year Jupiter/Neptune conjunction in Pisces, which began its new cycle on April 12, 2022. We note how, since then, there’s been a major dissolution (read: Neptune & Jupiter-ruled Pisces) of boundaries concerning all things Jupiterian--including law, higher education, immigration, & religion. Join us to look at the astrological macrocosm of these bigger planetary cycle shifts as they are applied to the microcosm of what’s happening now!That’s as in what occurred when the Pisces Sun, Mercury, & Saturn conjoined on February 28. On last week’s podcast Sheri noted how a Sun/Mercury conjunction usually portends a major announcement by someone of import, such as a head of state or someone in a high position, be it a politician, celebrity, or other prominent personage.However, this conjunction included serious Saturn—& was in the archetypal sign of Neptune-ruled Pisces, which cast a cloud of confusion over whether such an announcement would actually come to pass. And major announcements we had! From the stepping down of Senator Mitch McConnell as minority leader of the Senate, to the confusing statement by President Biden indicating an Israeli/Hamas ceasefire was near, to the Supreme Court’s announcement it would take up Donald Trump’s presidential immunity claims & cause more delay, & more!Join us to grow in consciousness via an interesting astrological conversation about this & more Astro News You Can Use as we approach the March 3 third-quarter monthly lunar square following the February 24 Virgo Full Moon which asked us to release our attachment to believing in things that prove to be factually untrue in the end. You know, like that the fact that “billionaire” Donald Trump can’t easily afford to put up $464 million in escrow while he appeals his recent NYS financial judgment in court—stuff like that!Don’t miss this interesting “Karmic Evolution’s Astrologically Speaking!” podcast at KARMIC EVOLUTION DOT COM (or your favorite podcast station) which drops today March 1 & learn more about how long-term astrological energies work in the REAL world!

JOIN SHERI HORN HASAN@KARMIC EVOLUTION DOT COM FOR THIS WEEK’S, for a deeper exploration of how the Virgo Moon sheds light on the tall tales spun by the Pisces Sun, Mercury, & Saturn that lack factual foundation & how this changes our perspective regarding our future ideologies, including about all things political.As we approach the February 24 Virgo Full Moon at 4:30 a.m. PT & 7:30 a.m. ET, & the “just the facts, ma’m” Virgo Moon reflects back to the Pisces Sun, Mercury, & Saturn, its rigid notions that apocryphal imaginings are “real,” the Venus/Jupiter square likewise illustrates the over the top exaggeration of such false narratives (such as, for example, the dispelling of the GOP’s “Biden bribery scheme” as fabricated by a Russian operative who lied.)This change in ideologies about who and what to trust as time goes by has been part of the monthly lunar cycle’s intent since the Aquarius Full Moon February 9 & the cycle’s first-quarter square February 16. Both were times when sudden shocking news—from Donald Trump’s refusal to ally with protecting NATO nations on February 10 to the news of “the faker” in the Biden bribery case February 15. And then there’s the sudden shocking death of Russian opposition leader Alexei Navalny in a Russian penal colony at the age of 47 most likely at the hands of his nemesis strongman Vladimir Putin on February 16Join us to learn what’s followed, including the change in perspectives by those both within & without the U.S. as the GOP continues to further suppress women’s rights here in the U.S. through limiting their rights to bodily autonomy via a recent judge’s anti IVF ruling.There’s more Astro News You Can Use, as we examine the astrological energies leading up to this Virgo Full Moon & what will likely occur—especially through the potential for more major announcements between now and February 28 when the Pisces Sun, Mercury, & Saturn conjoin. And that’s after Mars squares Jupiter—a potentially explosive energy—occurs on February 27.)The hope is that whatever this announcement entails, it will bring further closure to how those tall tales spun—particularly since Trump’s cries of election fraud since 2020—may finally be put to rest through t

JOIN SHERI HORN HASAN FOR THIS WEEK’S PODCAST @KARMIC EVOLUTION DOT COM We revisit what occurred during Pluto’s journey into Capricorn (& retrograde into Sagittarius) between January 26 & November 27, 2008, when he entered the Saturn-ruled sign of foundational security. And then apply this history to Pluto’s first dip into ideological group-oriented Aquarius March 23, 2023, & his retrogrades back into Capricorn until he reenters Aquarius November 19, 2024, until 2043…It's when a slow-moving planet like Pluto moves into a new sign that we get the biggest bang. And in November 2008 the world experienced a financial crisis like no other, sparked by the crisis in the U.S. housing market due to knowledge of how hidden predatory lending practices came to the surface & broke the system. Then, it was about the Plutonic transformation of all things Saturn/Capricorn related: business, banking, assets, wealth, both corporate & personal finances, etc., as what became known as the “Global Financial Crisis” is now known as most severe worldwide economic crisis since the Great Depression of 1929.This podcast compares that time with the similarly rocky time now as Pluto has already entered Aquarius March 23, 2023, & continues to retrograde back into Capricorn until he reenters Aquarius November 19, 2024 until he first dips his toe into Pisces in 2043. Only now, it’s about transformation to all things fixed air sign Aquarius, including political ideologies & the hardening of such ideologies into different groups.While since 2008 we watched financial foundations crack & subsequent reforms made to the system, now we are watching ideological foundations grow father apart, not only in the U.S. but throughout the world. As Pluto’s in its nascent stages of entering Aquarius for the long term, the question becomes: Will history repeat itself &, if so, how? What are the foundational cracks that we’ve been ignoring that may well widen into another global crisis, but this time one with an Aquarian theme?Join us for this discussion, along with how Pluto’s journey into Aquarius now coincides with the already triggered U.S. Pluto return to its position in 1776 at this country’s birth, & how the widening set of ideological beliefs between different groups may ultimately play out.We look also at this week’s Astro News You Can Use, including the waxing first quarter monthly lunar square of the Taurus Moon to the Aquarius Sun February 16, part of the Aquarius New Moon square Uranus cycle that began February 9 which revealed several shocking surprises via the collective. Changes to our sense of security (& therefore our values) abound as this monthly lunar cycle waxes—find out more about the astrological implications of this by tuning in to this week’s podcast!We review also how the March 13/14 Mars/Pluto conjunction in Aquarius manifested, true to form, as violence in places like Kansas City, MO, by February 15. And the upcoming entrance of Venus into Aquarius & the Sun’s square to Uranus February 16, the Venus/Pluto conjunction February 17, followed by the Sun’s move into empathic Pisces on February 18. In addition, there’s the Venus/Mars conjunction February 21/22, & Mercury’s move into Pisces February 22/23, as we gear up for the Virgo Full Moon’s release on February 24!Join us for all this & more @ KARMIC EVOLUTION DOT COM, starting today!

JOIN SHERI HORN HASAN @KARMIC EVOLUTION DOT COM FOR THIS WEEK'S PODCAST First we look back at the momentous after-effects of the Mercury/Pluto conjunction in Aquarius from February 5 when Mercury joined the Sun & Pluto in the sign of independence, technology, humanity, & democracy. Mercury, the god of communication had a lot to say about these subjects when he met up with Pluto, god of the underworld who represents death & rebirth, power, sex, & finances in the form of joint resources & other peoples' money.This podcast discusses the astrology behind recent announcements between February 5-8 that carry such themes. For example, word of King Charles III's cancer diagnosis, Donald Trump's appeals court loss of his ability to claim immunity in his federal criminal case--a major milestone in protecting the U.S. democratic legal system from extinction--& U.S. House of Representative's speaker Mike Johnson's miscalculation that group votes would go his way.These are just a few examples of repercussions of the February 5 Mercury/Pluto conjunction--another one being the announcement that at least 32 of the 136 hostages still held by Hamas (or their proxies) in Gaza since October 7 are now dead. (Mercury/Pluto=messages about death. )Also dead now is the effort to impeach President Joe Biden via the release February 8 of the special prosecutor's report that he did no wrong in the classified documents investigation, & a hard “no” from Israel’s Benjamin Netanyahu on the latest proposed Israel/Hamas ceasefire for hostages deal.And then, post the ME/PL conjunction & as we waxed toward the potential disruptive energies of the Sun/Uranus square February 8, there's FL Rep Matt Gaetz's introduction of a resolution in the House to kill Trump's liability based on Section 3 or the 14th Amendment. While February 8’s Supreme Court arguments centered on Trump's disqualification from the Colorado presidential ballot on the grounds that he participated in insurrection, Section 3 states that Congress can "remove such a disability...by a vote of two-thirds of each House."If successful, which is unlikely, passage of such a resolution by both Houses of Congress would shield all 147 GOP House & Senate members who voted to accept fake electors & thereby obstruct justice on the evening of the January 6 insurrection at the U.S. Capitol. Understanding this with greater clarity might help change some voters’ minds as primary season gets seriously underway soon…It's the Aquarius New Moon square Uranus in Taurus that may bring us such revelations (shocking or otherwise) since it follows the Sun/Uranus square from Feb 8 & is followed by a Mercury/Jupiter square February 10, indicating that overlooked details such as this resolution’s import may provide the death knell to democracy as we know it.That sloppy thinking may reveal important details is evident in Mike Johnson's declaration that, though he lost the House vote to impeach Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas AND on the bipartisan immigration bill that included aid for Ukraine, Israel, & humanitarian assistance for certain regions, including Gaza, he's promised to try again on the former.Meanwhile, we're headed to a new synodic cycle between Mars & Pluto in Aquarius after Mars enters Aquarius February 12/13 & conjoins Pluto on the 13/14. Happy Valentine's Day as this potentially intense, volatile, explosive energy is bound to result in some fireworks--the only question is whether this energy proves positive or negative in nature. Stay tuned, because after that Venus enters Aquarius & Mercury squares Uranus February 16, while there's then a Venus/Pluto conjunction February 17.The one thing we know for sure is that there are some volatile days ahead as Biden begins to criticize Israel's actions in Gaza as "over the top," Tucker Carlson interviews Russia's strongman Vladimir Putin & aids its anti-western propaganda machine, & Donald Trump moves toward a possible federal criminal trial after all...Check out the latest podcast @ KARMIC EVOLUTION DOT COM, & we’ll see you then!
