Hey everyone. I know not everybody here necessarily follows or believes in astrology, but I personally do, and I've definitely noticed its impact on the geopolitical stage, so to speak. I just wanted to share something neat I heard on a podcast this afternoon--so if you're interested, read on to see my take on how the planets & stars are currently affecting this situation!
Trump's indictment today took place during what is called a "Void Moon" period. In simple terms, that is the period of time in which the Moon is moving from one sign of the zodiac to another, and not forming any alignments to any planets. And what that means, according to astrologers, is that things that happen during Void Moon periods often don't have anything come of them. Events & plans fall through, things don't come to fruition...and dare I say, unjust indictments end up being "nothing burgers" ;)
The lady who runs the podcast I listen to doesn't like Trump, and even she said "don't get your hopes up about this indictment, it's during a void moon so chances are nothing too crazy will come of it." And I mean......all of us in this forum could've told you that without astrology LOL. But I thought it was neat, how the timing lined up.
I've heard that Reagan used astrology behind closed doors, and that he indeed knew about void moons. Apparently he would intentionally schedule press conferences for void moon days if he didn't want the public to make a stink about them, or if he wanted whatever he was talking about to fly under the radar. Dunno how true that is but it's interesting to think about! J.P. Morgan (the evil bastard) was also quoted as hiring financial astrologers for his work.
One more fun fact that yall may have heard: Currently Pluto is in Aquarius, which is a big deal. This is the first time it's been there since the Declaration of Independance was signed. It stays in each sign for like 20 years or so. In Aquarius, it is said to mean "revolution." And indeed, think of that time period...revolutionary war, industrial revolution, french revolution......by god, I'd say we're due for a damn revolution in this day & age too! So I personally believe that this astrological event is coinciding with the Great Awakening which we are all witnessing unfold. We are at the front seats of history being written, every day. It'll be fascinating to see what happens next.
I mostly wanted to share the fact that even from a Trump-hater astrologers point of view, this indictment is gonna be a huge flop 😂 I figured as much, but honestly I feel reassured that it's apparently written in the stars too!
I have friends who follow astrology and it always seems to mimic the truth in politics and I just think it's another way of disseminating information to people who don't follow politics or just hateTrump.
it is the holographic principle. everything is a metaphor for everything. zero accidents. the stars don't affect us, they reflect us, as we reflect them.
Absolutely agree. As above so below, as within so without~ ✨️
For what it's worth. Genesis 1:14- And God said, Let there be lights in the firmament of the heaven to divide the day from the night; and let them be for signs, and for seasons, and for days, and years:
I appreciate the post. Thanks!
You're welcome!! And thank you for reminding me of this verse! I KNEW there was a verse about the stars as signs, that's so cool!
I am personally not a Christian but I do believe in a divine force, and I do believe that the figure of Jesus Christ was a real & loving being that is beyond full human comprehension. That's why astrology is so cool to me--it fits in with my worldview perfectly. I think those "heavenly lights" can be interpreted like great gears of a clock. We can use them as a way to keep track of what has happened, and what may happen next, because of energetic cycles. Do they cause Earthly events to happen? I'm not totally sure. Maybe sometimes, maybe not other times. But can they be studied as signs from above, for what we might expect here on Earth? Absolutely. In my opinion, they are too consistent to be ignored. And it is not our job as mortals to understand every angle of how these forces work, or why they happen...that's for divine energies outside of ourselves to worry about. But we get to experience it in our own way, in our own lifetime. I think there's something beautiful about that.
My son is into astrology. He also describes it as a large clock, with cycles that are useful to understand.
Carroll Righter was the astrologer that Reagan consulted with, although Nancy was often the go-between. I've met people who personally remember the individuals concerned and have vouched for the truth of that relationship.
That's so cool, I look at it the same way! And thank you for this info--I never knew the name of the astrologer, but I'd heard about Nancy being involved. Would be awesome to learn more...time for research!
Thanks for sharing this information, I've always found that there was some validity to astrology, especially with the strange amount of coincidences that lines up with it.
no coincidences c:
You're welcome, and same here! I'm in my 30s, and when I was a teenager I thought astrology was the dumbest shit ever LOL. But the universe humbled me. The older I got, the more I noticed the coincidences too--and eventually I found a "tool" and a "language" to help me wrap my mind around them...and that is astrology.
I don't think every single little thing about it is 100% valid 100% of the time, but I do believe that the main foundation of all astrology comes from some divine force outside of us all, which we experience every moment, even though we can't fully understand it. Maybe that's "god" to some people. It's something like that to me. But whatever's going on, I personally think it is too consistent to be ignored or treated like heresy!
Hi PumpkinsandPopsums, where can I learn more about legitimate astrology? I'm a complete novice but it seemed interesting to me. I feel like most info about astrology out there is fake so would love to be recommended some legit sources. Would appreciate it!
Hi! I recommend a few sources--a website called Cafe Astrology is invaluable for beginners. It is where I learned all the basics. Astro.com has lots of resources too, and they're one of the more "official" websites about astrology. If you feel like taking the YouTube or podcast route, check out anything by Chris Brennan, The Astrology Podcast, and Anne Ortelee. I absolutely love Anne. She's a pretty left leaning person and I definitely don't agree with all of her political viewpoints, but in my opiniom she's an incredibly well-spoken person with a big heart. I have learned more from her "weekly astrological weather" videos and recordings than anywhere else, other than Cafe Astrology.
The more you delve into the subject, the more complex it tends to get--but don't be intimidated if it seems like a lot of info. You don't need to know it all. The most important things are the signs of the Zodiac, the planets that rule them, and the house system--which divides different areas of mortal life into 12 slices, one to correspond with each Zodiac sign. Aries matches the first house, Taurus the second, and so on. There are common denominators between houses, signs, and the planets connected to them. And you'll learn that all the signs have different relationships with one another in interesting ways. That's where Anne's information is wonderful. Every week she talks about where the planets are, what alignments they're forming, and what that means for us humans.
All that being said, astrology has vastly improved my quality of life. I've never been an unhappy person, but sometimes really weird and confusing shit happens. Astrology has helped me understand how there is divine timing in everything. It's helped me look at stressful situations from a different and more spiritual perspective. At the end of the day, that's what it's all about!
I wish you the best with your journey. If you do decide to learn more about astrology, one day you should come back to the day you posted this comment to look at the transits from the sky to your own birth chart. Chances are something interesting will line up, which perhaps encouraged you to learn more~ :)
Thank you so much! Will be definitely checking out your recommendations.
Look for a planetarium they almost all do public shows, and have astrology classes associated with
TLDR: Trump's indictment today took place during a "void moon"--a period of time when the Moon is travelling between zodiac signs and not forming alignments to other things in space. This period of time is said to be terrible for "trying to make things happen," to such an extent that even the Trump haters out there who study astrology think that today is gonna be a nothing burger. I could've told ya that! But I thought it was cool and worth a share.
I love a good astrofag
I was listening to singing bowls while reading this

“Financial astrologers” Yeah, this world is so fallen.
According to the word of God, you are doing Satans work by following astrology. You are not even supposed to read your horoscope for fun.
This is untrue but I know you're coming from a place of decency and concern. I do not believe in a god that punishes its creations for studying the symbolic meaning of its other creations. That is not logical to me. I'm a spiritual person in my own way but I do not subscribe to any one secular religion or practice--astrology included! I just do my own thing. And the infinite divine that I believe in doesn't love me any less for the way I choose to perceive it. If you believe that the god you worship, as you perceive him, would punish his creations for not following specific guidelines perpetuated by centuries and centuries of religious dogma, designed specifically to frighten commonfolks into submission...then I encourage you to open your mind to other viewpoints, and I wish you peace & harmony--because, not to be too judgy, anybody that thinks someone else is going to be branded in hellfire for all time for studying the movement of the stars and planets needs to do some soul searching about what really matters. This isn't something that "really matters." Loving your neighbor and looking out for one another does. So, with respect, I completely disagree.
God also says we shouldn't eat shellfish or pork
He also threw his own creation out of the heavenly realms for daring to give humanity higher knowledge (cries in Prometheus 🥲)
if you don't understand why that advice is given, then you should probably follow it.
