Glitching along from 3D to 5D: “Lost my phone! HELP!”

October 6, 2026

After correcting a numerical error in yesterday’s post — I had the election date as 11/5/26, when it’s actually 11/3/26 (though that didn’t change the point I was making re: Venus and Mercury; plus, I actually set the astro chart for the correct date!) — I finally get ready to draft today’s post. Except, oops! I can’t find my phone. Simply can’t find it! It’s nowhere in the house! I go next door, ask friend and neighbor Marita to come over with her phone and ring my phone; She does. Rings it twice. Still no phone.

WHERE IS IT? WHAT DID I DO YESTERDAY? DID I USE THE CAR TO GO SOMEWHERE? COULD IT BE IN THE CAR?

This entire imbroglio ended up seizing my brain to the point where I simply. could. not. think. Period.

Marita, calling my phone again and going for the car, opened the front door and there it was, ringing on the screened porch . . .

I mention this story as an example of what might be happening with lots of people these days, as the linear space/time regularity we have been used to seems to be progressively vanishing into some kind of void, fog, abyss, vacuum . . .

Or maybe, just maybe, this is the 4D chaos ushering us from 3D to 5D? I’ve been writing about this for awhile now. Example:

LET US MOVE FROM 3D TO 5D AND BEYOND

Elizabeth April (a particularly astute young one) has just put up a post on the3D to 5D transition.

 

Until I remind myself of the ongoing 3D to 5D transition, I descend into worry: Who am I? Is this weirdness just due to dissolution of my nearly 84-year old brain?

Geez! Says my scared self, maybe it is!

In any case, I keep going. Might as well. What have I got to lose, if I’ve already lost my mind!

 

Okay, here’s a hilarious astrological “synchronicity” that shifted my morning’s mood immediately. I decided to set up a chart just after I found the phone. Here’s the result: Note the positions of Venus and Mercury . . . BOTH EXACTLY ON THE ASCENDANT! (Remember, the Ascendant moves once every four minutes, so any planet on the Ascendant is being spotlighted at that moment.)

Note also the Venus/Mercury/Ascendant T-cross with the volatile Mars opposition with powerful Pluto. This opposition, now beginning to lessen, started to come on-line as October began. RED October, some are calling it . . . Both Mars and Pluto, by the way, are considered rulers of Scorpio, where both Mercury and Venus sit, Venus still moving backwards, with Mercury due to go Rx on October 25th, for three weeks, will turn to go direct on November 13, ten days past the election, if it indeed it does take place on the day designated.

I saw somewhere that Trump is considering invoking the Insurrection Act, just to make sure it does! And goes without incident, and without fraud.

On the other hand, if we dare to look back over past elections, haven’t they always somehow been rigged? I have no idea, but I have always wondered how each election seems to feature an exceedingly slim margin between Republicans and Democrats, nearly 50% voting one or the other, keeping everybody sitting with bated breath as which of the two (always two, always “opposition,” i.e., conflict . . .) will “win.” 49.56% to 50.01%, or some such. It’s ridiculous, really. How could U.S. elections NOT be rigged?

Okay, there you go, Ann. Getting totally cynical. Do you really mean that?

Part of me certainly does. Another part of me “keeps hope alive.” Because, what else can I do?

Well, what I can do is live MY life, the best way I know how. And that means pay attention to MY environment — starting with my own body, as center of the universe, radiating out to home, family, neighbors, close friends, various groups, this town, this state, on and on.

I’ve long recognized that the main role I need to play as I grow older, is that of one who remains calm, centered, balanced, while radiating Love. Period. The rest is details, fluff.

When details get me down, like today, when I was strongly, but briefly, FROZEN, thinking I had actually lost my phone, I end up feeling freshly humbled, thanking the universe for all its blessings, including this particular lesson; and the hilarious astrological chart that accompanied it.

How can I not think I am divinely guided? Who is not? We live in a mysterious universe that we, all too often, see as contained somehow, framed, with nothing, nothing! beyond the frame!

HUH?

Let’s get real, folks.

Buckle down.

Enjoy the wild ride.

 

 

ASTROLOGY OF THIS ELECTION SEASON. Will the election actually go ahead as planned?

October 5, 2026

Early voting begins today, October 5, in Bloomington IN (28 days prior to election for Indiana). Hmmm . . . shall I vote a straight Republican ticket? It’s either that or not vote at all, for me, since, probably like most people, I’m way too distracted by everything else in my life to pay much attention to this election, which I see as a typical matrix movie. I should pay more attention to local races; and feel bad for not doing so. However, on a national level, if the Democrats win either the House or the Senate, we will descend even further into churning, murky turbulence.

(Please recall that, like many thoughtful people, I used to be a Democrat . . . What has happened to the party of the common man?)

On the other hand, given that this November 3 election is going to occur when both Venus and Mercury are Rx in Scorpio, I have a sense that massive powers are in play, most of them entirely hidden behind the scenes. And that, frankly, it may be that the election date IS postponed, as some are predicting!  For if not postponed, then the fog of confusion will descend to an even more convoluted, multileveled, maelstrom, with clarity no where near in evidence until after the New Year.

BTW: NOTE THAT BOTH PLANETS, AFTER A PERIOD OF RETROGRADE MOTION, WILL TURN TO GO DIRECT  ONLY ONE DAY APART!: MERCURY ON FRIDAY THE 13TH OF NOVEMBER AND VENUS ON SATURDAY THE 14TH OF NOVEMBER. I.E., JUST OVER ONE WEEK PAST THE SUPPOSED NOVEMBER 3 ELECTION DAY.

If, that is, it does take place. And if so, then will that interim week feature a complete, shocked shut down of everyone’s emotional life? PTSD to the max? I wouldn’t be surprised.

Let’s look at these two planets one at a time.

VENUS

Venus already turned to go backwards (SRx), back on 10/3/26, at 8°29 Scorpio

Venus will then pass back into late Libra on 10/26, and will not turn to go direct (SD) until 11/14/26, at 22°51 Libra.

And please note: Venus will not leave Libra for Scorpio again until December 5, and then move again to 8°29 Scorpio and beyond through 12/17/26. So the length of the Venusian weirdness will last from 10/3 through about 12/17/24. And since so much of the time it’s in Scorpio, I’d say that this period will feature (but in a hidden diabolic manner) power plays and bribes of all kinds, including financial, corporate, and the entire spidery, convoluted system of centralized control.

Note that the election date is supposedly November 3rd!

I.e., smack dab in the middle of this time span!

MERCURY

Meanwhile, Venus is partnered by communicative Mercury in Scorpio, but in a muffled manner, beginning on 10/24/16 when it stations retrograde at 20°58 Scorpio. Mercury only takes three weeks to turn SD each time, which will occur on 11/13/26, at 5°04 Scorpio. Plus, like Venus, it must again move forwards to the same point at which it turned Rx before moving beyond, and this will occur 11/30/26. If you recall all the hoopla concerning voter fraud in the last election, well, it looks like not much will have changed.

So, again . . .

Note that the election date is supposedly November 3rd! 

Yes, both the transits of both planets will be reflecting the scheduled election disruption.

If the election does go ahead as planned . . .

I set up the chart for November 3rd, at 11:59 PM, Washington DC, and here’s the result:

Looks to me like massive victory celebration (on part of Trump, since he’s got natal Mars and Ascendant at 26° and 29° Leo) with Mars, Jupiter and South Node in Leo directly conjuncting the Ascendant of the chart and sextile Venus in Libra . . .

But . . .

Sun and Mercury in Scorpio Rx at the root of the chart is bound to throw the entire national drama into total confusion as hidden powers of all kinds continue to vie for control. These hidden powers are briefly aided by exact sextiles to Mercury in analytic, detail oriented Virgo.

Note that the overall harmonious collective unconscious configuration that connects Uranus, Pluto and Neptune is completely divorced from the power struggle over this supposed upcoming election.
