ALERT to Self! Are you SURE you want to be a “Kennedy Democrat”?

April 22, 2023

 

I still haven’t watched the Kennedy candidacy announcement speech. Frankly, the harsh, wavering quality of his strained, hoarse, spasmodic voice grates on my much too sensitive ears so much that I’d much rather read a transcript, which I will try to find. [Later: unable to find.]

(P.S. My ears are so sensitive that I remember giving daily thanks to God for gifting me with two sons, neither of whom was a screecher.)

I truly feel for him, suffering such a condition, and even so, deciding to throw his hat in the ring. Yes. It’s not just the fact of his belief that his father and uncle were both assasinated by the CIA for having the same ambition, it’s this, his own damaged voice! — through which he broadcasts his ideas. My hat goes off to this long-time environmentalist and author of the deeply revealing, sourced, and detailed book: The Real Anthony Fauci.

And I love love love the idea of returning to my own political roots as a “Kennedy Democrat.” It may be that just his candidacy alone, will, by throwing today’s transmogrification of what used to be the Democrat left’s current outrageously woke, DEI, warmongering, nasty-tempered authoritarian attitude into high relief. And thus, perhaps, even pull it back from oblivion.

But all this is by way of introduction to what this post is about. For if DJT is flawed in his insistent, boastful declaration that the way he handled the covid con “saved millions of lives,” then RFK Jr. is also flawed, it appears, and in many more ways than one.

Mercury turns to go retrograde TODAY

April 21, 2023

 

The solar eclipse New Moon in 29° Aries shading into 0° Taurus occurred April 19-20. Now, only one day later, at 4:34 AM today, 4/21/23, one of three annual three-week retrograde cycles of Mercury begins. Here’s the chart, set for Washington, D.C.

Note especially where Mercury sits, at 15°37 Taurus as it turns to go retrograde, exactly conjunct the relatively swiftly moving Moon’s position at that early morning hour, and both bodies only two degrees from eruptive Uranus. I’d say that this particular Mercury retrograde cycle is going to involve rethinking all issues having to do with (Taurean) security, with what is of value: especially financial security, i.e., money (keep it in a bank? hide it under a mattress?) or its replacements (gold, silver, bitcoin?), other material assets, large and small. Plus of course, debt: mortgages, credit cards, and so on. Because the shit’ is hitting the fan, so to speak, and we are going to be personally and collectively gnashing our teeth. Especially because, though we need to think and rethink our own material security, it would be wise not to make any decisions, sign any contracts, etc., until Mercury turns to go direct again on May 15 at 5°51 Taurus. And even then, Mercury will be operating in the shadow of its ten degree retrograde period (Taurus backing from 15° to 5° and back up again) until June 2. And all this occurring during an extraordinarily volatile period (Uranus in Taurus 2018-2026)) for anything having to do with the material world, and especially since this Mercury turning time coincides with the degree positions of not just eruptive Uranus but the emotional Moon, I repeat, all three of them within 2 degrees of one another! —  and that that includes our own bodies as well as the earth herself. Yes, it’s difficult not to feel anxious.

Meanwhile, it looks to me like more and more formerly hidden information (Mercury) is going to be disgorged, all of it emotionally (Moon) shocking (Uranus), and making us rethink everything we thought we knew, and have been taught. Which makes the sabian symbol for that degree (always use the next whole degree, i.e., 16° in this case), all too appropriate.

Of course there’s always more to say, like the fact that the three-way conjunction in Taurus also happens to be only two degrees from exact sextile with (energetic, furious?) Mars, at 13° (family, home, tribe) Cancer. As Mercury travels over this position of Mars, and Mars moves up to the degree where it exactly sextiles the current position of Mercury, over the next week or so, expect fireworks.

Advice to Ann: get and remain centered, feet in the ground, hands in the soil. Identify with the miracle of spring, as nature pushes her beautiful, strong, knowing plants up through the soil and into the sunlight. Each one unique, and yet of a kind with others, all together growing, just like we humans, once we get past this tumultuous global collapse of old systems that kept us enslaved for thousands of years, will begin to realize that we too, have been all together growing, all along.
