Astrology for Spring, 2025

Merry Meet! Welcome to Beltane, 2025. The centerpiece of Spring. Life is budding out, flowers are beautiful in all their glory, the Promise of life is everywhere. The holiday begins on May 4, 2025 (May the fourth be with you!) 11:57:15 PM MDT. Here in Albuquerque, Summer seems well underway; heat and everything is rushing to grow, to flower, to be fruitful and multiply!

However, there is unrest on the land. Things are NOT right, not normal, as I’m sure you know. What should be more about gamboling in the meadows, sipping mead and drumming until dawn has now the feel of dystopian hijack by zombi aliens from the planet Nazi-topia.

How has this happened? This should not be! The planets seem to be in a wonderful, developing formation that should bring Peace, Love, and Understanding.

Sometimes, things are hard to see through astrology. I researched on the interwebs and found precious little regarding the current situation. What little I did see made it more about individual(s) pushing their own agenda on the country, not some grand, cosmic scheme. That actually is some relief. It’s human, not the Gods. Humans can be resisted and overcome far more easily. So, let me tell you what I have seen, at least in part.

Here in the good ol’ U.S of A. Among other goodies, there is a little weird interaction between a certain astrological set up in one person’s chart and what is known as the “Sibley chart” which is a chart used for the founding of our country. One person’s chart is fascinating! He was born just about 3.5 hours before an eclipse. Sun and Moon are almost exactly opposite each other, the “Nodes of the Moon” are very close by. This is really not all that unusual. Happens all the time, usually twice a year.

Well, in this case the certain individual has been deemed by some to have a few things about his personality that might be seen as a bit of a malignant narcissist. Look up those terms. You’ll love it! Or not!

So anyway, this certain individual has his Sun and Moon are opposite each other, along with the nodes of the Moon (those odd horseshoe shaped thingies, one curve up, the other curve down. This configuration in its altogether is immensely powerful! This can help make a person very, VERY sure of himself or herself. Feels like God gave them permission to do whatever they want. In this case, it seems to be working that way. (There are several other things that I won’t go into now. Trust me. This seems to make the point for now.) The ego is super turned on and is always looking for ways to stroke itself, making itself feel important in whatever action it has and at the expense of whoever is in the way.

OK, this certain individual’s chart is on the outside wheel. See it? Good! The wheel on the inside is the “Sibley chart” of the United States. See how I have a line between the Sun and Moon and the Nodes? The other line going off at a right angle is pointing toward the symbol representing Neptune in the Sibley chart. Neptune is about dreams, wishes, can be where people (or a nation) can also fool itself with self-delusion, or be led in the direction of delusion.; there may be grand dreams there (in the 9^th house of higher vision, “the vision of America” sort of thing. Or it can be the lies a person (or nation) tells itself, or the lies it accepts as truth. (Such as believing America is a great and free country although we are still not. Equality with all races, women, people of various sexual orientations, has not truly happened or has been taken away. A sad state. Deplorable. Isn’t it time this nation truly grows up?)

The formation of the Sun, Moon, Nodes in Dear Leader’s chart are virtually EXACTLY square Neptune. This is a highly tense aspect, showing the tension between our certain individual and the country and how this certain individual is scamming the country and selling it down the river. (He was built for this! He seems to be able to sell whatever he wants to some folks. Good enough to fool enough people. (He, himself, is being fooled too. He is probably a puppet for a bigger puppet master across the sea, who is laughing at us and all this chaos. Just what he wants.)

Anyway, the net result could be the downfall of our country (good ol’ U.S. of A.), seriously damaging all friendships we have/had, just so that a traditional enemy of ours can come out on top. Look at how this certain individual panders leaders who are known to be tyrants. Always has nice long phone calls with them. Funny how this is all working out.
Just a last note here. I am NOT a trained psychotherapist. This is NOT a thorough analysis of ANY certain individual. For entertainment purposes ONLY. Right!

My Mother’s Savage Daughter

A song I have heard played a LOT lately on Tic Toc is My Mothers Savage Daughter. This shows the anger, determination, defiance, muscle and faith needed in times like this. If you haven’t heard it, find it. Here is one of many versions of the song:

[Chorus]
I am my mother’s savage daughter
The one who runs barefoot cursing sharp stones
I am my mother’s savage daughter
I will not cut my hair, I will not lower my voice

[Verse 1]
My mother’s child is a savage
She looks for her omens in the colors of stones
In the faces of cats, in the fall of feathers
In the dancing of fire and the curve of old bones

[Verse 2]
My mother’s child dancеs in darkness
And sings heathen songs by thе light of the moon
And watches the stars and renames the planets
And dreams she can reach them with a song and a broom

[Chorus]
I am my mother’s savage daughter
The one who runs barefoot cursing sharp stones
I am my mother’s savage daughter
I will not cut my hair, I will not lower my voice
“My Mother’s Savage Daughter” (c) 1997 by Wyndreth

This post is probably my last. Alane, the “webmistress” here is deciding it’s time to retire. I get it! I have retired myself. We’ve been dear friends since the mid 90’s. There is nothing but good will between us. I wish her well in whatever she does! Lounging on a beach in Mexico. HA!

For today, I will not be doing individual readings for the signs, other than saying to:

Aries, Taurus, Gemini, Cancer, Leo, Virgo, Libra, Scorpio, Sagittarius, Capricorn, Aquarius, Pisces

Resist! As best you can, as you are able, with what tools and brains and wisdom the Goddess has blessed you with. Do it for our children, our present, our future. Be safe but RESIST!

Again, the thing to remember is that this is not a thing ordained from on high. This is about a man, several of them actually, who want to steal what is NOT theirs. This country, our way of life is OURS. They are only human, as are we. However, WE are MANY! Be of good cheer! Not to be violent, but to be persistent, stay in the light, You are witches; act with wisdom and stealth.

One request I have, for what it’s worth. Gosh, if we could all get together, not necessarily in one place but at one time (coordinate!) and do some spell work to right these wrongs together. Could that make a difference? Let’s talk. NO harm to anyone, right? Just a little playful “tweak” of the consciousness. Something like that.

On that note, I bid you all farewell, at least from here, for now. I can still get email if you want to talk about it. Be safe, carry on, my friends. I will! I love you all. Keep making joyful noises!

Merry Meet, Merry Part, Merry Meet Again!
