I’m done dissing Trump. Consider it my own absurd megalomania to even begin to try to figure out what this colossus is up to.
Clandestine has moved over, too.

If you’re like me, you find yourself astonished as you endlessly scroll through twitter/X, showcasing Elon’s DOGE bombs, one after another after another — $84 million to Chelsea Clinton, HUH? I’m asking my accountant and get me an extension on filing my taxes this year. Because who knows? The IRS might be next to fall under the axe of the 19-25 year-old autist tech wizards working for Elon to disgorge all the waste, abuse, fraud, and downright treason in the federal government. Indeed, what we need is a tax revolution, and that is maybe what Trump’s “common sense revolution” is aiming towards. I’m not alone: X22 is now advocating a tax revolution out loud.
I remember, back in the mid-80s, when I was operating in full-on (mentally violent) peace activist mode, for two years officially refusing to pay federal taxes. But then I changed my mind: on a long walk during which I discussed the situation with myself, I concluded that if I continued as an official tax resister, it would likely dictate (and severely limit) my future. Was this the hill I was willing to die on? Now? (I was in my 40s). With a shudder, I realized that I needed to stop, back track, even see if I could get this expunged from my IRS record. My accountant found another accountant who knew how to do it: for $1000. Okay.
Yes, I compromised, consciously, and have resumed paying the damn federal tax every year since. My one consolation: because of my even deeper vow to live below money as far as possible, I rarely owe much.
But even ten cents is too much now.
And wow, has the world changed since the early 80s!
Hell, it’s been turned upside down in the past two weeks!
The floodgates have opened. We thought they were opened earlier, but that was nuttin’ compared to the moment by moment revelations now, and I’m sure the pace only going to accelerate — especially with both Neptune and Saturn beginning their shift into fiery Aries by late May — this Trumpian blitzkrieg that, if we are wise, and pay attention, each of us, to our own sovereignty as an embodied soul at one with all, we can sail through this nonsense, despite our destiny as passengers on a floundering ship of state, three sheets to the wind.
I am more and more astonished by how the Q posts predicted the future.

Yes, more and more, this does seem like a movie. Only we’re not the audience; we’re all players: what happens next, and what happens in the medium and long runs, all depends on our ability to root into this good Earth while lifting to the heavens, simultaneously,
centering in our open hearts,
feeling the Love coursing through
the revolutionary winds
of this storied, climactic time.
What in hell did Q mean by “Save Israel for last?” A nasty part of me wants to think that it means Israel will finally be obliterated, removed from the face of this Earth. But then why do I want to think that? Because Israel, and the whole Jewish question, what’s real, what’s not, in terms of “bloodlines” (I’m supposedly “Jewish,” on my mother’s side, BTW, something I was not informed of as a child), in terms of the significance of “Zionism,” and of Jewish Rothschild’s establishment of Israel as “the promised land for God’s chosen people” looks like a horrific hornet’s nest, impossible for me either make sense of or to “deal with” fairly and comprehensively.
I just spent a few minutes poring over a regional map, focused on Israel with both West Bank and Gaza strip, attempting to contextualize the two areas supposedly reserved for Palestinians, since the creation of Israel, in 1948.

Gaza, itsy bitsy FLASH POINT!
Being totally flummoxed by what is or is not happening, I decided to look at the astro chart for Israel, and zowee! Israel’s natal Sun sits at 23° of stubborn, earthy Taurus, exactly where explosive, eruptive transit Uranus sits now, and has been moving back and forth across since May 2024. (It’s maximum intensity point was on 1/e0, when it turned, to go direct.)
Then, I thought, hell, why not look at Trump’s natal chart too, since he’s obviously very tied to Israel, and has just announced that the U.S. is going to take over Gaza!
And wouldn’t you know, Trump’s Midheaven (his path, his public role), sits at 24° Taurus, also nearly exact where the transit Uranus sits now. Totally in keeping with his global role as a disrupter of the status quo.
Oh yeah, and my own natal Moon at 23° Taurus, also hit by Uranus, desiring, like a fool, with only swiftly moving digital data to reflect on, to obliterate Israel . . .
Keep in mind that Uranus has an 84 year cycle . . . which means that these transit Uranus conjunctions are unusually significant for both Israel and Trump; frankly, the the synchronicity of their near exact conjunction makes me shudder with horror and delight.
Another very interesting note about the natal chart for Israel: This nation state was willed into being during the Saturn/Pluto conjunction in Leo, 1946-1948, the same post-war years that saw the birth of the National Security Act and the CIA. Saturn structure married Plutonian power in the utterly self-centered sign of Leo: A very significant nexus in the history of the U.S. as a global hegemon. And, while I’m at it, remember that the Covid Con was launched during the Saturn/Pluto conjunction in structural Capricorn, January 2020. That’s when “they” tried, and failed to lock us all up for ten years. Saturn/Pluto conjunctions, which occur every 35-36 years, matter. Saturn either tries to control/prevent or to directly channel the death/rebirth Plutonian energy as it erupts from the depths.
I’m not pretending, in this post, to come to any conclusion about whether or not to “trust Trump,” given this latest announcement, by sidewinding a bit into astrology. But, if it helps, do note that this eruptive Uranus 23° Taurus focus, which achieved peak intensity when it turned to go direct on January 30, will endure through most of March, and then begin to fade.
Meanwhile, there seem to be two principal, and opposing, versions of what Trump’s announcement of the takeover of Gaza means:
The first is that it proves Trump is not only aligned with Netanyahu, but is his lackey in the march to Greater Israel. You can find this conclusion just about everywhere you look.
The second is that Trump just separated Gaza from Netanyahu, and thereby began to solve a whole host of problems.
This second interpretation is not nearly as popular, but it does exist. See, for example, Brian Cates, @drawandstrike, who couches it within a broader context than I’ve seen otherwise.
I must say, I was struck by Netanyahu’s demeanor when Trump was talking. Seems subservient; even, frankly, scared.

Obviously shocked by the announcement, Clandestine tries to stay on the fence. I don’t blame him for wanting to come down on one side or the other. This sure does appear colonial, rather than collaborative. U.S. empire building again? Just kick those poor old worthless Palestinians out so we can build another fantastic “smart city”? Just treat them like we treated the Native Americans at home? If so, what’s new?
Excerpt:

Obviously, Trump’s 5D chess is way bigger than any of my paranoid imaginings. Thus, with Clandestine, I wait with bated breath.

Oh, wow . . . I see this:
