“Only one ray is, therefore, lacking where Gemini is concerned, and that is the seventh Ray of Organization, Ceremonial Magic and Ritual. This accounts for the instability and the fluidity of the Gemini influence, and is largely responsible for the frequent failure of the Gemini person to express the beauty, ideals, etc., which are sensed so that they materialise upon the physical plane.

The seventh ray produces fixation upon the exoteric level of experience and “anchors” (if I may use such a term) the ray forces into form, producing concrete expression of the subjective realities or powers. Six forces meet in Gemini and, for this reason, the double triangle or King Solomon’s seal is one of the subjective symbols of this sign …

All the inner potencies are, therefore, present and only the stabilising seventh ray energy is omitted from the dowry of the man born in Gemini. Thus we can easily account for the versatility of the Gemini subject. The effectiveness of Mercury is also enhanced in its interpretive aspect because the Gemini person can always find points of contact with people on nearly every ray.”1

Introduction
We have almost completed the first half of the year – which has unfolded with lightning speed. One can barely keep up with the rapid changes that are occurring all around the world, let alone integrate them into our understanding.

There are many crises in all areas of human activity which include – free speech, poverty, homelessness, the threat of world war, AI over-reach, corporate control and manipulation, propaganda and its progeny – paranoia, information overload, fiscal uncertainty, media deception etc.

Many of these issues have always been around, but it appears they are now all converging in a mighty confluence of crises that will force radical changes. And in doing so, every conscious individual is being pushed to go beyond their comfort zone – in personal relationships, in speaking up and making their voices heard, being more pro-active in initiating needed changes, independently or more empoweringly – in like-minded groups and communities, the true Aquarian Way of group co-operation.

With Neptune and Saturn moving from passive Pisces into active Aries – there lie the many seeds of opportunity for cultivation. If we do not act, then we are part of the problem of passivity and complicity that enables wrong paths to be chosen by world leaders

2025 is a do-or-die date – achievements or failures this year will determine the ensuing decades. Pluto in Aquarius is hosting  a revolution in consciousness which will foster many physical plane revolutions in all areas of human activity.

Gemini: Third of Three Annual Spiritual Festivals
Shamballa       the Will aspect of God                        Wesak May Full Moon (Taurus)
Hierarchy        the Love aspect of God                       Easter  April Full Moon (Aries)
Humanity        divine Intelligence, Goodwill                June Full Moon (Gemini)

The interlude in Gemini is also called the Festival of Unification, Christ Festival, Festival of Humanity or Goodwill. The new impulse generated through the full moon in Aries this year, took root in earthy Taurus at the Wesak Festival – and will now be distributed in the sign of Gemini.

Full moon periods are monthly cycles of high spiritual potential – to commune with the Spiritual Forces of the planet and participate in the great celebration of souls – guiding, and being guided toward the light.

The annual World Invocation Day is always on the date of the Gemini full moon – spanning, as with all full moon celebrations – 2½ days before and after the exact full moon time – five days in total.

Here is the opportunity to be extra mindful and reflective, meditatively tuning into the subtle but powerful forces pouring into the planet via the zodiac sign Gemini:

“The result of this solemn three days of invocation will be followed by a climaxing day wherein the Hierarchy will unitedly, and led by the Christ, pronounce the entire Invocation, prefacing each stanza with its appropriate keynote, again sounded in unison.

These notes you cannot know, but if, for instance, a very large number of the New Group of World Servers were brought together, their united OM might approximate the appropriate keynote.” ((The Externalisation of the Hierarchy, Alice A. Bailey. p.556.))

Gemini rules communications and The Great Invocation is a potent, globally transforming mantram that can be used every day – but especially at any full or new moon festival.

As the second ray of Love-Wisdom is the only ray to pass through Gemini, this force is invoked and disseminated – in all its various expressions – via the spoken or written word, music (the universal language), art, acts of human kindness and even the internet.

Gemini also rules inner communications because of its association with the etheric body which is the medium of transmission for impulses from the soul via the mental body. Hence the quality of formlessness that Gemini expresses, enables this sign to be well suited to telepathic communication and inner work in general.

The first three festivals of the year are all connected to communication. Mercury the Messenger is the ruler of Gemini and the soul ruler of Aries, the first festival. Taurus rules the organs of speech and the “Taurian upon the way of liberation would do well to employ the method of directed and motivated speech of an outgoing and explanatory nature.”2 Hence sound, mantras, speech, chanting and music are necessary tools for invocation and evocation.

The Easter Aries festival celebrates The Christ, the Wesak Taurus festival celebrates the Buddha and the Gemini festival of Goodwill celebrates The Christ again; this is because the One who currently holds the Office of The Christ (it’s an office, a post), will soon be taking over the role of the Buddha in the imminent Aquarian dispensation.

This is a virtually unprecedented planetary event that coincides with large strides in human consciousness, related to the equilibrising of the Moon Chain and Earth Chain evolutions. (See the author’s Unveiling Genesis: Mysteries of the Rootraces and Cycles.)

The Last Sermon of the Buddha
“On this festival, for two thousand years, the Christ has represented humanity and has stood before the Hierarchy and in the sight of Shamballa as the God-Man, the Leader of His people and “the Eldest in a great family of brothers” (Romans VIII:29).

Each year at that time He has preached the last sermon of the Buddha before the assembled Hierarchy. This will therefore be a festival of deep invocation and appeal, of a basic aspiration towards fellowship, of human and spiritual unity, and will represent the effect in the human consciousness of the work of the Buddha and of the Christ.”3

Gemini is the “Festival of Unification carried forward by the Christ – “the Master of all the Masters and the Teacher alike of angels and of men.”

“It has long been a legend (and who shall say it is not a fact?), that at each Full Moon of June, Christ repeats and preaches again to the assembled world (to the hearts and minds of men) the last sermon of the Buddha, thus linking the full enlightenment of the pre-Christian era and the wisdom of the Buddha to the cycle of the distribution of the energy of love, for which Christ is responsible.”4

Hence the appropriateness of the blending of the two festivals Taurus and Gemini and their dissemination in Gemini, a sign of distribution. Here are some excerpts from the last sermon, bearing in mind that the Buddha’s Taurean message was to point the way to liberation – through freeing the self from the desire nature, with all its cravings and addictions:

“Herein, O Ananda, let a brother, as he dwells in the body,
so regard the body that he, being strenuous, thoughtful and mindful may,
whilst in the world, overcome the grief which arises from the body’s cravings.

… While subject to sensations let him continue so to regard the sensations
that he, being strenuous, thoughtful, and mindful, may, whilst in the world,
overcome the grief which arises from the sensations.”

And so, also, when he thinks, or reasons, or feels, let him so regard his
thought that, being strenuous, thoughtful and mindful, he may, whilst in the world,
overcome the grief which arises from the craving due to ideas, or to reasoning,
or to feeling.

… Those who, either now or after I am dead, shall be a lamp unto themselves,
relying upon themselves only and not relying upon any external help, but holding
fast to the truth as their lamp, and seeking their salvation in the truth alone, shall not
look for assistance to any one besides themselves, it is they, Ananda, among my bhikshus,
who shall reach the very topmost height. But they must be anxious to learn.

My age is now full ripe, my life draws to its close:
I leave you, I depart, relying on myself alone!

Be earnest then, O brethren, holy, full of thought!
Be steadfast in resolve! Keep watch o’er your own hearts!
Who wearies not, but holds fast to his truth and law,
Shall cross this sea of life, shall make an end of grief.

When the light of gnosis has dispelled the darkness of ignorance, when all existences
has been seen as without substance, peace ensues when life draws to an end,
which seems to cure along sickness at last.

Everything, whether stationary or movable, is bound to perish in the end.
Be ye therefore mindful and vigilant!
The time for my entry in Nirvana has now arrived!

There are my last words!”
________________________________________________

The Buddha and the Christ are the two pillars or brothers of Gemini, the sign which is a cosmic gateway for the forces of Sirius to permeate its “lower self” – our solar system, infusing it with a greater sense of the cosmic plan and purpose.

Venus as esoteric ruler of Gemini provides a further point of contact in stepping down that purpose through relationship to its “lower self” – the Earth – which happens to be the highest or hierarchical ruler of Gemini.

Sirius is the source of Love-Wisdom in our solar system, emanating from the cosmic mental plane. The second ray is the only ray that passes through Gemini, whose constellation is connected to the “cosmic Christ”. Venus transmits that force of mind to Humanity, giving mental understanding, love and compassion. Both Sirius and Venus are associated with initiation.

---

Gemini the Twins Rule Humanity
“Gemini upon the Mutable Cross stands for man’s humanity … Gemini, via Venus, awakens in humanity (the focal point of our planetary effort), the sense of duality which is the basic factor in the conflict between desire and spiritual will …”.5

Venus is the esoteric ruler of Gemini, bringing together the pairs of opposites upon the mental plane, creating harmony, beauty and wisdom – the Divine Sophia. The word “conflict” in the passage above is important because it describes the fourth ray of Harmony through Conflict, the major ray that rules Humanity as a whole.

Mercury the Messenger, the exoteric ruler of Gemini the communicator – is the co-ruler of the fourth ray of Harmony through Conflict. The Moon is the other co-ruler, and because it represents the unconscious shadow or Dweller, contributes to the conflict part of the Harmony-Conflict equation.

However, like all planets, Mercury has a lower and higher expression – it can be the harmoniser but also a contributor to conflict – through the varied experiences of life on the Geminian mutable cross, which includes the misuse of speech. Here is one of many examples of the “two-faced Gemini” – and the basic dualities from which all of Humanity seek to escape.

Humanity reaches is spiritual goal through many graded series of invoking higher spiritual forces and dealing with their consequences – the necessity for continual “upgrading” or the building in of more refined frequencies within the personality vehicles – etheric/physical, astral and mental bodies. This process occurs over thousands of lifetimes, passing eventually through the various minor and major initiations – expansions of consciousness that lead ultimately to Liberation:

“The quality of the second divine aspect, Love, is being perfected. In this perfecting process man participates unconsciously at first, during the long cycle of evolutionary unfoldment under the Law of Necessity; but when he becomes the aspirant and takes the first steps upon the path towards spiritual maturity, he begins to play a crucial role which he maintains until he attains spiritual liberation and himself becomes a member of the Hierarchy, of the fifth or spiritual kingdom, through perfected service in the fourth or human kingdom.”6

Humanity as a whole vibrates at a lower frequency of “desire”, yet with the ever-curious Gemini influence, seeks to understand its many faceted world, which includes notions of “God”, the soul and spirit:

“In Gemini, certain of the fundamental zodiacal influences [4 arms of the mutable cross] —synthesised and coordinated—are focussed upon our planet. This produces strain, action and reaction, and that condition of potent struggle and of difficulty which is so characteristic of our planetary life, but which produces eventually the awakening of humanity to full planetary consciousness.”7

Gemini: From Individualisation to Initiation

The potency of Gemini dominated during the period of Individualisation in Humanity around 21 million years ago. This was when the “spark of mind” was implanted in then “animal humanity” – and the evolution of consciousness began.8 From that mass event in those ancient times, humanity is now participating in another mass event that began with the World Wars of last century – the taking of the first initiation en masse.

“It was the activity of Venus—under the influence of Gemini—which produced the great crisis of the individualisation when the two kingdoms “approached” each other. Venus, Mercury and the Earth then set up a magnetic field which made the intervention of the Great Lodge on Sirius and the dual stimulation of Gemini effective in producing significant results of which the fourth kingdom [human] in nature is the expression.

The fact that Gemini is the third sign and embodies what is called “a third potency” [active-intelligence] enabled it to reach, with its force, the third kingdom [animal] and produce that reaction which resulted in the individualising or the humanising of its higher forms of life.

You will note that Venus is also the hierarchical ruler of Capricorn, thus showing the power of the mind and its place and purpose in connection with both the major human crises: Individualisation and Initiation.

It relates humanity in an unique way to Gemini. In the coming world religion [one universal spirituality] this fact will be noted and in the month of June, which is essentially the month in which the influences of Gemini are peculiarly strong, due advantage will be taken in order to bring man nearer to the spiritual realities.

Just as Venus was potent in producing the relation of such pairs of opposites as the fifth kingdom of souls and the third kingdom (the synthesis of the sub-human kingdoms), leading to a Great Approach between soul and form, so in the new world religion this fact will be recognised.

Appeal will be made to the Forces which can utilise this planetary potency in order to work out the divine plan upon the Earth. It is because Venus thus relates certain pairs of opposites that she has been erroneously connected in the minds of men with sex and the sex life and with the relation of the physical opposites, male and female.”9

Uranus in Gemini (2025-2033)
It is said that Uranus’ “falls” in Taurus, “and prepares the inner man for the sharp interplay and conflict in the next sign, Gemini.”10 Gemini the Twins – or “warring brothers”, represents the conflict of soul and personality, or the balancing of the pairs of opposites upon the mental plane, ultimately achieved by Gemini’s esoteric ruler Venus.

Through Mercury’s exoteric rulership of Gemini, there is the scintillating, quicksilver nature of this sign – adept at communications and the dissemination of knowledge. Gemini is also the sign of relationships in general, part of the mutable or common cross, that has the skill to find something in common with others – leading to dialogue, understanding and friendship. Uranus is regarded as the “planet of science”,

“Uranus, the occult planet, stands for exoteric science which penetrates into the hidden side of form life, and thus we have the period wherein man is not alert enough or conscious enough to seize upon opportunity and turn it to esoteric or soul ends, but can identify himself with the more advanced aspects of form.”11

This statement acknowledges modern science’s materialistic outlook but also the various advances and scientific penetrations into matter that have occurred over the past century.

Uranus is the planet of invention and innovation, hence, Uranus in Gemini will be a powerful combination in advancing a plethora of ideas, especially in the world of digital technology and AI. This is already going ahead at a rapid rate – with all its potential pitfalls and dangers.

Further supporting Uranus in Gemini, will be its harmonious trine aspect to Pluto in Aquarius from mid 2025 to mid 2028 – three years. As ruler of Aquarius, Uranus will potentise Pluto’s position and vice-versa.

Uranus is also the ruler of the seventh ray of Organisation, a.k.a. Ceremonial Magic – a ray that is moving into stronger expression in its new cycle that overlaps the whole Aquarian precession cycle of 2,160 years. Uranus rules Aquarius – the soul of three nations: USA, Russia and the Netherlands.

Therefore, it is hoped that Gemini’s communication skills will encourage a better rapport between Russia and the USA. Russia is a seventh ray soul and the USA a second ray soul, the only ray to pass through Gemini. The possibility of peaceful relations looks promising – if and when world leaders can make it happen.

Uranus conjunct Alcyone in Gemini
On May 20. the Sun moved into Gemini, heralding the ingress of Uranus into Gemini in the next two months. Uranus was already within orb of activating the fixed star Alcyone in the Pleiades, having its first exact conjunction in mid-July, then late October and finally in early May 2026.

Alcyone is the dominating principle in the constellation of the Pleiades – around which our entire solar system orbits around, “the central point around which our Universe of fixed stars revolves, the focus from which, and into which the divine breath, MOTION, works incessantly during the Manvantara.”12  Every 180,000,000 years!

Esoterically, Alcyone is known as the Star of the Individual—governing humanity, sometimes called the Star of Intelligence. The latter name connects it to the third ray of Active-Intelligence – and the Pleiades as a whole, which plays the role of the “cosmic mother”.

Many of our generations were born when Alcyone was in the last degree of Taurus, but now it has moved into early Gemini (20’ of arc) – and will be powerfully activated in the next couple of years by this 84-year transit of Uranus.

Hence, there will be about an 11-month window where a powerful electrical stimulation of Alcyone will occur. Uranus is the ruler of Aquarius – a sign that,

“… relates humanity to the Pleiades and therefore to Taurus in an unusual manner. The key to this relation is to he found in the word desire, leading, through the transmutative processes of life experience, to aspiration and finally the relinquishing of desire in Scorpio.

Aquarius, Alcyone and Humanity constitute a most interesting triangle of force … The energies coming from Alcyone impregnated the substance of the universe with the quality of mind. As a consequence of this most ancient activity, the same force was present at the time of individualisation [Lemuria] in this solar system …

… in this system, and primarily upon our planet, the Earth, that the major results of that early activity have made themselves felt. Two of our planets, the Earth (non-sacred) and Uranus (sacred), are directly the product of this third ray activity.”13

Human consciousness has been evolving ever since the massive planetary event of Individualisation in Lemuria, some 21.6 million years ago. Hence, each time Uranus passes over Alcyone every 84 years, Humanity expands its conciousness or “individualises” on a higher turn of the evolutionary spiral – through stimulations of light from Alcyone.

USA’s Gemini Personality and Uranus Return
During these next few years, it will be USA’s third Uranus return in Gemini14:

1. The 1^st Uranus return saw the American Civil War of 1860 and the emancipation of slaves.

2. The 2^nd Uranus return in 1944 saw the USA consolidating its 1941 entry into WWII, playing a massive role defeating the Japanese in the Pacific – and by liberating Europe, along with fellow Aquarian soul – Russia.

3. The 3^rdUranus return will be from May 2027 through to July 2028. What might we expect for the potential of another great liberating event? The USA has been responsible for some important milestones in human liberation:The Declaration of Independence and the Bill of Rights. The Atlantic Charter and the Four Freedoms. The Emancipation of the Slaves.

On the eve of USA’s third Uranus return, the fascist forces that were defeated in WWII have since regained their foothold, infiltrating the nation via predatory corporations, technocracy, government mismanagement and corrupt politicians.

Uranus is the planet of revolution and the American Revolution was founded upon it breaking away from the onerous influence of mother Britain. Hence, this imminent Uranus return speaks of a different kind of revolution – making a break from itself, the “deep state” and corporate control by billionaires, a very large and looming problem. That battle will be fought out in the USA and the outcome will affect the whole planet. In USA’s 1776 horoscope, the star Sirius is conjunct USA’s Cancer sun, no doubt planned by the founding fathers:

“It is the principle of freedom … it is that which provides a “pathway of power” between our Hierarchy and the distant sun, Sirius, and gives the incentive towards the “culture of freedom” or of liberation which motivates the work of the Masters of the Wisdom …

… This mysteriously “exerted influence,” this “pulling away” from form … emanates from Sirius and for it we have no name; … the Law of Freedom … is not … its true name, for in the last analysis, freedom and liberation are effects of its activity. This unique and mysterious law governs the Life and the Lives upon Sirius…”15

As USA’s Sun in Cancer will be squared by transiting Saturn in Aries from May 2026 to March 2027, there will an unique opportunity presented to invoke this Sirian freedom force. The opportunities are multi-fold,

1. Transiting Jupiter, ruler of USA’s second ray soul of love-wisdom, will conjoin its Cancer Sun-Sirius in early August, 2025.
2. Uranus rules USA’s Aquarian soul.
3. The second ray of love-wisdom is USA’s soul ray – and is the only ray to pass through Gemini – USA’s personality expression.
4. Uranus as the 7^th ray principle of organisation may be influential in assisting USA’s ongoing personality integration, as a still young nation.16

Saturn Conjunct Neptune in Aries
On May 24-25, Saturn entered Aries for the first time in 30 years, making a rare conjunction with Neptune in Aries – for the first time since 1703. Other dates go back to 1380, 555, 232 AD etc.

In a nutshell, the combination of these two planets represents the manifestation (Saturn) of the visioned ideal (Neptune) – in the sign of new beginnings and pioneering work – Aries. The conjunction also occurred just before the Gemini new moon on May 27, hence this conjunction is enshrined in that event horoscope.

Saturn moves back and forth to Pisces until mid Feb. 2026 when it stays in Aries proper. Hence, although the new cycle has been initiated, the 2.5 years Saturn-cycle from Pisces is still being assimilated.

Similarly with Neptune, retrograding back into its own sign Pisces at the end of 2025, returns to Aries for good – also in mid February 2026 – in an exact conjunction with Saturn in the first degree of Aries!

This Saturn-Neptune dance between Pisces and Aries, is another potent marker between the ages of Pisces-Aquarius, where the old cycle is finishing and the new cycle begins.

Saturn in Aries Example
Saturn “falls” in Aries because there has not been sufficient time for the consequences of one’s initiated actions to take effect. That is why Saturn is exalted in Aries’ polar opposite, Libra.

With this position, one is forced to acquire initiative, patience and self-reliance in providing the necessities of life. There can be much mental creativity – building new paradigms of thought. On the other hand, the shadow of this position is self-centeredness, self-justification and a selfish imposition of the will.

Alice A. Bailey (AAB) had Saturn in Aries, “accidentally dignified” in her tenth house of career and the public. She “provided the necessities of life” as a single mother of three girls – and was a messenger for “new paradigms of thought” in her work as an amanuensis for The Tibetan. In one of her books – Esoteric Astrology, there is given a more esoteric interpretation:

“Saturn “falls” in Aries. This has two meanings, for this is a dual sign. First: Saturn is the Lord of Karma, the imposer of retribution and the one who demands full payment of all debts and who therefore condemns us to the struggle for existence, both from the form side and from the soul side. Saturn, therefore, “fell” when man fell into generation. He “followed the sons of men down into their low place.”

Second: Saturn’s power is completely ended and his work accomplished when man (the spiritual man) has freed himself from Karma and from the power of the two Crosses—the Common and the Fixed. Esoterically, Saturn cannot follow man on to the Cardinal Cross.”17

Again – in the first case, AAB endured violence in her first marriage that led to her becoming a struggling solo mother, working in a sardine factory at one point – burning off some old karmic residues. In  the second case she rose eventually to the status of an initiate. (It is noteworthy that transiting Jupiter was conjunct her Sun in Gemini at the time of this writing.)

Hence, upon the world stage in 2025, both of these Saturn in Aries interpretations will play out for individuals, groups and nations – depending upon their evolutionary stage of development. No doubt for some nations and individuals, Saturn will be the “imposer of retribution and the one who demands full payment of all debts.”

---

Neptune Past and Present
(See also Neptune Ingress to Aries 2025.)

As touched upon in this article, the passage of Neptune in Pisces from 1847-1862 was the period leading up to the American Civil War that was based upon the major issue of slavery.

Neptune and Pisces are deeply connected to compassion, sacrifice and understanding, hence the combination of these zodiacal and planetary forces certainly fostered a growing awareness about the tyranny of slavery and the need for change.

Neptune made its first entry into Aries on April 13, 1861 – just one day after the American Civil War began. The fruits of Neptune’s passage through Pisces were put to the test – and were ultimately victorious.

Aries is ruled by Mars, the god of war and in the horoscope for Neptune moving into Aries, Mars was conjunct planet of revolution Uranus, prominently at the midheaven. It was the USA’s first 84-year cycle of USA’s Uranus return – Uranus ruling Aquarius, the soul of the nation and of the great initiate Lincoln. (Sun and Venus were also in Mars-ruled Aries in this ingress horoscope.

This does not mean that there will be another civil war in the USA, something that has been speculated upon for decades. Visionary Neptune combined with the mental strength of Saturn, brings a powerful potential of fighting for an ideal; for manifesting it into codified law, which could for instance, result in reviewing the Constitution.

So what has been the harvest of Neptune’s transit through Pisces 2012-2025? The most visible expression has been lower Neptune-Pisces’ penchant for propaganda – deception and illusion, more accurately “glamour”. Neptune rules the masses who can be easily duped.

As arch propagandist Goebbels once said, “If you repeat a lie often enough, people will believe it, and you will even come to believe it yourself.” Today, blatant lying by politicians has become routine in many nations.

Propaganda was much more obvious from around 2015 onward, when Neptune entered the second astral decanate of Pisces in 2015-16. (1^st decan = physical, 3^rd decan = mental.) Neptune as god of the waters has a particular affinity with the astral plane – and the propaganda wars really started to heat up around the time of the UK and US elections during those years.

That continued unabated – through various elections and the Covid crisis of 2020-3, arguably the biggest lie since 9/11. All of this has been paralleled by the ongoing development of AI, which through its misuse and abuse, has blurred the line between reality and dreaming; which in turn has enhanced propaganda, deception and the manipulation of the public.

On the other hand, positive Neptunian developments may have been in the visual arts – both digital and physical. With Neptune ruling the imagination, have we seen any out-of-the-ordinary films and other arts – such as writing and music that have inspired? And it begs the question – does AI art lack soul, and are AI creators – artists in the true sense of the word, or only pale imitations?

When the imagination of the astral-buddhic nature is combined with the discipline and discrimination of the mind, here the true tantra is born – the unification of the astral and mental bodies; the “feminine” principle of imagination (Neptune) united with the “masculine” principle of mind (Saturn). Here is one promise of further development with the 2025 Neptune-Saturn conjunction in Aries.

And if we consider the deeply humanitarian impetus behind the American Civil War in this current cycle of 2025 – it must be the appalling slaughter in Gaza. This, as well as other wars in Ukraine and some African nations, has aroused public indignation to levels hitherto unwitnessed, with major street marches all over the world, pleading to stop the cruel Palestinian genocide.

The Israel-Gaza saga is now coming to a head, as the USA and most Euro-Western governments have revealed their complicity – and failure to halt one of the most shameful acts in history. As discussed in a 2025 newsletter, a karmic reckoning may be on the way, delivered by Saturn and Neptune in Aries:

“This unresolved crisis will generate a huge karmic debt, the ledger of which may be balanced sooner rather than later – “A hard rain’s gonna fall”. One hears the dire warning of The Christ upon his imminent return – “I come not to bring peace but a sword”.

Aries the Pioneer
This 2025 Saturn-Neptune conjunction may see the emergence of new pioneering technologies, arts, sciences and music. When Saturn was in Aries in 1997, NASA launched the Cassini-Huygens probe to Saturn.

That year also saw the second largest cash robbery in U.S. history ($17.3 million). One wonders with the foisting of CBDC’s upon the public and ongoing cash restrictions around the world – if another attempted robbery will take place!

Combined with the new fourth ray cycle unfolding, there will be new forms of music and art that will come into the world. (See the following section on  the fourth ray.)

The Fourth Ray and 2025
“Ray Four …. To come slowly into manifestation after 2025 A.D.”18

The fourth ray of Harmony through Conflict is the main ray that rules Humanity as a whole, explaining in part why war has been almost perpetual upon our planet.

Upon the upward evolutionary spiral, Humanity reaches ever higher states of harmony, through the interceding conflicts between the pairs of opposites – particularly upon the emotional and mental planes, the latter becoming more pronounced through warring ideologies.

The fourth ray rules over humanity, most of whom when liberated, will choose the fourth cosmic path (of seven) to Sirius, the “higher self” to our solar system:

“Cosmic rapture and rhythmic bliss are the attributes of the fourth path.  It is a form of identification which is divorced from consciousness altogether. The reason also why the majority of the sons of men follow this Path lies in the fact of its numerical position.

These units of the fourth kingdom, the bulk of the fourth Creative Hierarchy on this fourth globe of the fourth scheme in a solar system of the fourth order are innately compelled to seek this fourth WAY in order to perfect themselves.

They are called the “blissful dancing points of fanatical devotion.”  This is as near as we can get to the true description. They have also been described as the “revolving wheels which turn upon themselves, and find the open door to perfect bliss.””19

The Master Serapis
Serapis is the “chohan” or custodian of the fourth ray force upon our planet. Hence, as the fourth ray gains in strength, his work and responsibilities will become more well known:

“… the Master Serapis, frequently called the Egyptian. He is the Master upon the fourth ray, and the great art movements of the world, the evolution of music, and that of painting and drama, receive from Him an energising impulse.

At present He is giving most of His time and attention to the work of the deva, or angel evolution, until their agency helps to make possible the great revelation in the world of music and painting which lies immediately ahead. More about Him cannot be given out, nor can His dwelling place be revealed.”20

The New Arts

We may well wonder just how the new art forms will express?

“The development of the new art. This will be expressive of a sensitive response to ideas. The art of the past expressed largely man’s understanding of the beauty of God’s created world, whether it was the phenomenal wonder of nature or the beauty of the human form.

The art of today is as yet almost a childish attempt to express the world of feeling and of inner moods and those emotionally psychological reactions which govern the bulk of the race. They are, however, to the world of feeling-expression what the drawings of the cave man are to the art of Leonardo da Vinci.

It is in the realm of words today that this new art is most adequately expressing itself. The art of music will be the next approach nearer to the truth, and to the revelation of the emerging beauty; the art of the painter and of the sculptor will follow later. None of this is the art of expressing ideas creatively, which will be the glory of the Aquarian Age.”21

Fourth Ray Healing Techniques

“This fourth technique is one that—in default of true ray knowledge—can be of general usefulness, because this fourth ray governs the fourth kingdom in nature, the human. The healer along this line of work (and such healers are practically nonexistent at this time because the fourth ray is not in incarnation), heals primarily through the use of the appropriate sound or sounds.

In the early stages when this technique comes into demonstration, music will be largely used by the healer to bring about a cure or to facilitate the process of death or departure. It will, however, be music with one constantly recurring chord, which will embody the note of the fourth ray and of the human kingdom.

Healing by the means of sound will be one of the first healing unfoldments to be noted at the close of the next century. [21^st, i.e. 2,100.] More teaching along this line would be useless until the fourth ray again cycles into manifestation.”22

Gemini and Right Speech 
Mercury the Messenger is the personality ruler of Gemini and governs speech and communication. Speech and language are the clothing for ideas, hence its importance in conveying divine thought without distortion.

There is always an over-lapping of themes from sign to sign. The previous sign of Taurus, the sign of the Buddha, is also associated with speech; one of the precepts of His Noble Eight-Fold Path is “right speech”. Taurus rules the organs of speech – the tongue, mouth and larynx.

Therefore, considering the sequence of unfoldment of the first three signs of the zodiac, Gemini is certainly the great disseminator of The Divine Idea annually re-impulsed in Aries (with modifications no doubt!) and then held in Taurus.

Gemini and Mercury convey much by the spoken and written word, though Mercury-ruled Virgo is the true word-smith for the written word. Mercury and Gemini can be the great “blah, blah, blah”, a lot of mindless garbage that pours forth from the lower mind, inane commentaries on the superficial, irrelevant or frivolous, a repeater of hearsay and gossip.

This is where much of the world is at – just turn on the TV, browse a tabloid or peruse social media. Yet even for those of us who consider themselves “on the Path”, the testings of “right speech” come up continually for review, as the Master DK reminds us:

“… the most powerful factor in the control of speech is a loving heart. Wild and fearful talk, hateful gossip, cruel innuendo, suspicion, the ascribing of wrong and wicked motives to persons and peoples, and the divergences of attitude which have separated the many different nations in the world are rampant today and have brought the world to its present distressing situation.

It is so easy to drift into the same habits of speech and thought which we find around us and to discover ourselves participating in attack and the spirit of hate. Guard yourselves strenuously against this and say nothing which could inflame hate and suspicion in connection with any race, any person, any group or any leaders of groups and nations. [!]

You will have to guard yourselves with care, so that even in defense of that which you may personally or nationally approve you do not find yourselves full of hate and breaking the law of love – the only law which can truly save the world. Perhaps the key to your success along this line will be the silence of a loving heart.”23

Silence is not an easy quality for Gemini to cultivate, it wants to reflect back like a mirror into the world its brilliant, scintillating impressions. Gemini’s quicksilver quirkiness has an urgent need for immediacy – “I want it yesterday” is the mantram of mass consciousness!

The restraint for impulsive Gemini lays in its opposite sign Sagittarius, where all is raised to the higher mind for deeper reflection; or perhaps the Saturn-ruled decanate of Virgo, another member of the mutable cross. The “Chinese whisper” effect of gossip can have very serious effects upon those who might be group leaders:

“From every side and in every group there streams in on the group leader directed criticism, poisonous thoughts, untrue formulated ideas, idle gossip of a destructive kind, the imputation of motives, the unspoken jealousies and hates, the frustrated ambitions … These produce results in the physical bodies of the leader or leaders and often in the emotional bodies. … The more highly evolved the group leader, the greater the pain and suffering.

First ray people who have naturally a “technique of isolation” suffer less than many for they know how to shut off these directed streams of force and how to deflect them and – when they are not deeply spiritual people – they can return them to their originators and thus wreak havoc in their lives.

Second ray persons do not and cannot work this way. They are naturally absorbers and magnetically attract all that is in their environment which is directed towards them. That is why Christ paid the penalty of death. He was killed, not only by His enemies, but also by His so-called friends.”3 [Christ “thrice-denied” in the Garden of Gethsemane.]

Suppression of Free Speech
(This subject was covered in more depth in the Libra 2024 newsletter.)

“The consequences of widespread censorship are far-reaching and potentially devastating … The suppression of free expression undermines the foundations of democracy, hindering the ability of citizens to engage in informed debate and hold power accountable. It stifles intellectual progress and innovation by limiting the free flow of ideas and preventing the challenging of established norms.”24

Freedom of Speech is the major pillar of the Four Freedoms enunciated by Franklin D. Roosevelt.

* Freedom of speech and expression * Freedom of worship * Freedom from want * Freedom from fear *

In the past few years, the stark diminishment – even strangling of these freedoms has occurred – regarding “pandemic” lockdown, Russia-Ukraine, US politics, Israel-Gaza. If free thought/speech and its expression is suppressed or censored by corporate-controlled governments  – then how can Humanity discuss and solve the complex problems that it faces?

Nobody upon The Path can afford to allow others to do their thinking for them – based upon particular ideologies that are not in the best interests of the population at large: Manipulative ideologies motivated to exploit others. In recent months the world has witnessed arrests or deportations of students on university campuses across the USA – protesting the genocide in Gaza. Blocking First Amendment rights of freedom of assembly and freedom of speech. (Professor sues University of California for suspension over comments about Israel’s war in Gaza.)

In Britain, people are being arrested for posts on Facebook. The European Union recently doubled down on social media censorship. The following passage summarises an article about Britain, one of the major founders of Democracy:

“Britain, a nation historically lauded for its commitment to free speech and open dialogue, finds itself grappling with an increasingly complex censorship landscape. From university campuses to social media platforms and even within government institutions, a pervasive culture of silencing dissenting voices appears to be taking root.

Critics argue that this insidious creep of censorship, often disguised as measures to protect vulnerable groups or promote social harmony, is eroding the very foundations of democratic discourse and undermining the ability of citizens to engage in robust debate on critical issues.”25

Another of many examples here: ‘It’s outrageous,’ says mother of UK Israel protest accused as he faces 21 months in jail before trial.

The Four Freedoms Horoscope
(This was discussed in a 2020 newsletter article.)

In the previous article referred to above, there was a discussion about when FDR “received” the four freedoms:

“Roosevelt worked “long into the night on New Year’s Day” 1941 (Capricorn), surrounded by some close aides. He took a long time deliberating over what he was to say, and when he finally relayed it to his stenographer, the words just rolled off his tongue. Not a word of the original was changed on January 6, 1941 when it was presented to the 77^th Congress.”26

A few observations:

1. Transiting Pluto in Aquarius is currently opposite the FF horoscope’s Pluto in Leo – all the way through to Feb.2027. Here the original authority of Pluto in Leo is being challenged by Pluto in Aquarius – which represents two things.

One is the aspect of “group work” such as the EC or European Community, using the Aquarian forces in a lower sense, just as Hitler did uniting the German people in WWII. Another is that Pluto in Aquarius is bring far more people empowerment to rise up against selfishly guided institutions.

2. Transiting Saturn is about to conjoin the progressed Sun in Aries from March to Dec. 2026, bringing an opportunity for the censoring forces to double-down even further, but also for the advocates of speech freedom to consolidate and reiterate the original FF philosophy.

3. Transiting Uranus in Gemini will also be harmoniously sextiling Pluto in Leo from July 2026, through to May 2027 – bringing its revolutionary flavour of freedom.

Liverpool New Moon Attack (May 26)
Drivers terrorising the public by ploughing their vehicles through large crowds, appears to becoming more popular in recent years – particularly in Germany. Either pre-meditated or on the spur of the moment, when someone snaps – as this most recent case appears to be. The astrology of the event is of interest, perhaps hinting at deeper reasons within the psyche of the nation.

The treacherous act occurred on May 26, “shortly  after 6 pm” – that saw deadly Scorpio rising with its ruler Mars, prominently on the midheaven in Leo. The moon was “void-of-course” – i.e. moving from the last degree of Taurus into Gemini. Taurus is the personality expression of this severely beleagured nation. Astrologer Judith Aurora Ryan comments on void-of-course moon:

“Decision-making in such periods turns out later to be unrealistic. Creativity diverges into unplanned directions, improvisions, false starts, error. If you buy any object you never use it fully.

Enterprises founded while the Moon is Void of Course do fail after long and costly effort. Human judgment is more fallible than usual during the time the Moon is Void of Course. Defects or shortages come to light. Delay and frustration are commonly experienced while the Moon is Void of Course.”27

This interpretation sounds a bit like Mercury retrograde, which was prominent in the event horoscope in its own rulerhip of Gemini – though not retrograde. The moon entered Gemini shortly after the initial event, making its exact conjunction to Mercury three hours later – when the perpetrator (Paul Doyle, no birth date given) – had been apprehended and identified. Mercury the “trickster” or prankster at work here, in its most nefarious expression.

The new moon proper occurred several hours later in early morning on the following day. (May 27.) Hence, the entire event passed during the monthly “balsamic moon” phase, typically a time for deep inner reflection and intuitive insight. Indeed, Demetra George wrote a book about the balsamic phase, called “Finding our way through the Dark”, an apt title for Britain’s current situation – or for the world as a whole for that matter.

The balsamic moon phase is quite a Plutonic experience, where there is reflection upon one’s own underworld experience and which in this case, revealed a brief glimpse of Britain’s underbelly – 0f how people snap and express collective frustration.

Pluto is the co-ruler of the Scorpio rising chart and was in trine aspect to Mercury and the Sun in Gemini. Jupiter, the ruler of the 2^nd ray of Love-wisdom (Britain’s soul ray) – was also in Gemini.

The Decline of Britain
As Gemini rules Britain’s soul, this event is one of many pointing to how precariously the nation has veered from its soul purpose – regarding a plethora of issues: Free speech, corporate domination and control, asset stripping, housing crises, “catastrophic plans to cut disability benefits”, war-mongering, surveillance, 15’ cities, outrageous electricity bills, debt, weak leadership, corrupted values, control by dark forces etc. The same is happening in many otther Western nations like Canada, Australia and New Zealand.

In the astro-cartography for the event, the Mars-MC line passes through the length of Britain – well within orb of Liverpool. It occurred hours before the Gemini new moon which rules Britain’s soul.

Back to Mars again. Mars in Leo is known for fearlessness and risk-taking; it can be very ego-driven, dramatic, having a need for admiration, sometimes the ultimate “drama queen”. No doubt Mars played a part in this former Royal Marine’s  personal horoscope – which is unkown at this stage. Why this date has not been released is a mystery. There are other fishy details associated with this, commented upon by George Galloway in this 4’ video.

However, Doyle’s given age of 53 sees him born in 1972, when Saturn was mainly in Gemini. Hence, it is possible he was born when Saturn was about 6 degrees of Gemini, the degree of this current new moon. If correct, that would place his Sun in bull-headed Taurus (“the bull in the china shop”) – with the moon in early Scorpio opposite – the Wesak full moon of 1972. That moon position might be close to the ascendant of the event chart.

Exoterically, Mars in Leo might reflect a culture of selfishness and self-entitlement, while esoterically its conjunction to the pointer star Merak, holds the seed of future possibility:

“… the energy of the Pointer furthest from the Pole Star begins to make its presence felt and a sense of right direction or guidance is registered by the disciple upon the Path, and such guidance (when followed) leads man nearer to the Hierarchy.

It is here that the divine necessity of achieving alignment is portrayed for us in the symbolism of the sky and when it has been achieved then there is a direct inflow of divine energy and man is linked up in a new and creative manner to sources of divine supply.”28

 In Britain’s 1801 exoteric horoscope, transiting Mars is very close to its progressed Sun in Leo – and Saturn in Leo, reminiscent of the days of “Rule Britannia” – think bronze lion statues in Trafalgar Square! But no longer, more “fool Britannia” as it continues its chaotic fragmentation and unimaginative goals.

Hopefully this tragic event will be a wake-up call for the soul of Britain. The Gemini full moon phase falls two weeks later – at the Festival of Goodwill which includes the theme of right relations and Gemini’s esoteric ruler, Venus.

Britain’s Fear-Mongering Over Russia
Britain has escalated the global nuclear arms race – and is bringing us closer to armageddon.
The following passage is the latest breath-taking, over-the-top paranoia and propaganda -British leaders talking like it was the 1930’s pre-WWII:

“The British public must to be taught how to survive a mass missile attack through a “national defence plan,” which could include air raid drills with sirens being tested. This is a stark new warning from one of the UK’s top former generals, Sir Richard Barrons, who co-wrote the Government’s Strategic Defence Review.

 … He said the UK needs to urgently change its mindset to be more like Finland and Sweden, which border Russia and are considered to be much more prepared for an attack.

The former head of the Joint Forces Command – now the Strategic Command – also suggested that the NHS should register a “volunteer reserve” of retired doctors, nurses and pharmacists who could be called into action. [!] There is a clear, present risk – particularly as president Putin does see himself as being at war with the West.” He continued: “The homeland is again on the pitch – it’s not got some magic immunity from war, in the same way that Kyiv doesn’t … Air and missile attacks will cause civilian casualties in potentially very large numbers.

Teaching people “what to do when there’s an air raid” would “reduce casualties” and “keep the country functioning”, he said. “Having a system where citizens and their children know what to do when they get these warnings – that’s an important part of resilience.” Several European allies regularly test their alert systems, with sirens being sounded, texts sent to phones, warnings broadcast on TV and radio, and messages posted online.  ((msn.com))

Madness. With the USA going cooling its support of NATO, and to counter “imminent threats”, PM Keir Starmer has announced a huge spending package of billions, when Brits are already suffering under a high cost of living:

– Boosting weapons and equipment stockpiles and making sure there is capacity to scale-up production if needed in a crisis or war.

– Building at least six new munitions factories, generating 1,000 jobs.

– Buying up to 7,000 UK-built long-range weapons in a move to support 800 defence jobs.

– Transforming the Royal Navy into a ‘hybrid’ organisation blending drones with [12 new nuclear] submarines and aircraft.

– More than £1.5 billion of additional funding to repair and renew armed forces housing.

Observers have said, that along with several European nations, Britain is increasing its aggression  toward Russia, and as a result, expect a reaction from Russia. But its good for business, right? A vainglorious attempt to recapture lost British pride and patriotism. A lot the British public are not buying it.

---

Europe’s NATO Madness
Adding further complexity to the situation, the EU is recklessly advocating arming Ukraine with huge spending packages that seem quite unrealistic. Chancellor Merz of Germany has just deployed 5,000 troops on the Lithuanian border with Russia, “to defend NATO’s eastern flank”. This is the first military deployment outside of Germany since WWII.

Against what – Russian aggression? Russia has repeatedly stated that it is not interested in Europe, it has the largest land mass of any nation in the world. This is the cover story excuse for these nations wanting access to natural resources in Ukraine and Russia. Their greed and devious manipulation is leading the world to disaster.

Britain, France, Germany and the EU/EC – all equally culpable in their feeble posturing about Russia. All those leaders are treading on shakey ground regarding their voter base becoming increasingly disaffected by their leaders’ policies and actions. There is now a growing list of “hard right” countries:

“Six EU countries — Italy, Finland, Slovakia, Hungary, Croatia and the Czech Republic — have hard-right parties in government. In Sweden, the survival of the executive relies on a confidence and supply agreement with the nationalist Sweden Democrats, the second-largest force in parliament.”29

And of course, France’s right-wing Marine le Pen was recently barred from seeking office over an alleged embezzlement scam – highly suspicious! Some of these “hard right” nations (a label courtesy of the “woke” liberal left), are sympathetic to Russia. There are six nations, naturally from eastern Europe where there are the most Slavs who have long established ties with Russia: Slovakia, Hungary, Bulgaria, Serbia, Belarus and Georgia.

German Military Spending

German chancellor – Friedrich Merz (11 November 1955 – Scorpio sun), has big spending plans to expand the military. Germany is the world’s fourth largest military spender behind USA, Russia and China. Merz is also, “a former BlackRock official and neo-liberal corporate king”. Sergei Lavrov, the Russian foreign minister responded to news about Merz’s plans:

“To hear from the current German leader that Germany will regain its position as the leading military power in Europe just after we celebrated the 80th anniversary of the defeat of Hitler’s anniversary is quite symptomatic. History apparently teaches these people nothing.” The former Russian president Dmitry Medvedev has reminded the world of the Nazi past of Merz’s father, and warned yet again of the threat of world war three.”30

 Germany is a Mars-ruled Aries soul level, which distorted expression drove it as the aggressor in both world wars of the 20th century. The first ray of will or power passes through Aries and it is the personality ray of this nation, contributing to its ruthlessness in WWI & II, but also its economic dominance in Europe since then. Now Germany finds itself on the ropes economically, partly due to the USA blowing up Russia’s Nordstream pipeline recently, depriving it of cheap gas. Ironic. Nothing like another war to boost the economy.

Gemini Trump & the US Administration
Stock market analyst, Alex Krainer says the following initiatives have been worthy efforts of the new US administration. Of course, these are all debatable, depending upon how apolitical one is.

• Withdrawal of the US from Paris climate accords
• Withdrawal of the US from the World Health Organization
• Defunding, breaking up USAid
• Reestablishing constructive relations with Russia
• Renewing peace talks between Ukraine and Russia
• Brokering the ceasefire between India and Pakistan
• Announcing a new trade agreement with China
• Signing an executive order to reduce prescription drugs prices by up to 80%
• Successfully negotiating with Hamas the release of the last American Jewish hostage in Gaza
• Dramatically reducing illegal immigration into the US
• Signing of an executive order to provide housing for thousands of homeless veterans

The MAHA initiative could be addd to this list, going after Big Pharma and the stated aim of tackling the Chem trails problem. (Already several states are drafting laws around this.) The two current factors that are of major global import are USA’s ongong support for  Israel’s murderous regime – and dragging its feet on a Russia-Ukraine peace deal.

Donald Trump has been a long time supporter of Israel and was the recent recipient of $200 million election donation from just one Zionist supporter. Now he is paying the piper, either trapped by the Israeli government, the “deep state” or wholly condoning the genocide.

Trump can be an unpredictable Gemini – which makes it difficult to figure out his game at times. Though now, for those who hoped he might bring some change on the chronic US relationship with abusive Israel, his colours appear to be unambiguously hoisted to the flagpole.

Similarly with Russia, his recent comments about Putin “being crazy, killing people”, lacked context and revealed his lack of knowledge of what is going on. Or, what he was told to say by those advisors around him. Trump’s last administration suffered the same fate due to his naivety in politics.

A recent assassination attempt on Putin came in the form of a swarm of drones, similarly another swarm took out several bomber aircraft, a railway bridge killing 12 civilians and a bridge in Kursk. What if something like this had happened in the USA, would that nation not respond to such incursions that destroyed a bomber fleet or tried to assassinate the president?

Military analysts say that the the sophistication of these attacks must have come from various intelligence agencies such as the CIA, MI6 or Mossad. Some commentators are convinced that the British MI6 is the main instigator.

Via that agency, the USA and NATO are making direct attacks – well into Russian territory. It appears that these protagonists have not thought out the consequences of such irrational tactics, in terms of long term strategy.

What did they think was going to happen, when the long strained – but restrained Russian leadership has now reached a breaking-point, in terms of a devastating response? That breaking point is fuelled by the Russian people and other political forces in Russia, who have long advocated far more deadly aggression.

Hence, this is already a declared war by the USA on Russia, by various spy agencies or deep state actors. Trump is one of the few people who can fix it, with recent phone calls to Putin, trying to calm the waters. Former US weapons inspector and marine, Scott Ritter – says,

“In short, by continuing to support Ukraine, both the US and NATO have become active participants in a conflict which has now crossed the threshold regarding the employment of nuclear weapons.

The United States and the world stand on the precipice of a nuclear Armageddon of our own making. Either we separate ourselves from the policies that have brought us to this point, or we accept the consequences of our actions, and pay the price.

We cannot live in a world where are future is dictated by the patience and restraint of a Russian leader in the face of provocations we are ourselves responsible for. Ukraine, not Russia, represents an existential threat to humanity. NATO, not Russia, is responsible for encouraging Ukraine to behave in such a reckless manner. So, too, is the United States.

The contradictory statements made by US policy makers regarding Russia provide political cover for Ukraine and its NATO enablers to plan and execute operations like Operation Spiderweb.”31

Trump’s Extraordinary Transits

Donald Trump is approaching his 79^th birthday, meeting a confluence of several astrological factors which will provide as many opportunities as challenges. Given that he is the major decision-maker as president of the USA, his decisions will also have a major impact upon the world – in this period of several crises coming to a head.

This is not unlike the astrology of old, where the king or emperor’s horoscope was always consulted regarding the affairs of the nation. And of course, Leo rising Trump regards himself as such – from his “throne” of the Oval Office, making many autocratic, executive orders. Before the election in 2024, this author mentioned that if Trump gained office, that there might be issued many “dictatorial” edicts. Some worthy, some not!

Mars Return Donald Trump’s 2-yearly Mars return occurs precisely on the Gem-Sag full moon, June 11.
Solar Return The Mars return precedes his solar return two days later on June 13. (Solar returns can occur one day before or after the actual birthday.)
Mercury Return June 13 is also the day of his Mercury return in Cancer.

Trump was born in 1946, just 3 hrs 48’ before the exact full moon of Gemini-Sagittarius. This same 2025 full moon straddles the natal pattern almost exactly.

Full moon periods are amplifiers of energies, both light and shadow. Hence, the Mars return in Leo at this time might certainly highlight Trump’s boastfulness or proclamation as king. As Mars rules the astral body, he could be highly emotional and reactive, leading to reckeless decisions. Mars is also the god of war and Trump has major decisions to make about war – based upon precarious situations in Ukraine and Israel – and potentially Iran.

As commander in chief, he cannot walk away from any of these crucial decisions. As Trump’s Sun-Moon opposition is also highly activated, two outcomes are possible from the light/shadow perspectives:

Light The Gemini capacity to connect, communicate and find common ground. The Sagittarian potential for shooting the arrow to the heart of the matter, directness. An ability to see the big picture and invoke some wisdom.

Shadow Gemini’s fickleness and deception, changing mind constantly, all talk and no action. Sagittarius as “exaggitarius”, bombastic, overbearing, judgemental.

And of course, a mixture of all these things, because in this position there are so many interactions with advisory staff and foreign leaders. Gemini is adept at fielding many interactions. Bear in mind that Trump’s Sun in Gemini falls precisely on USA’s Mars in Gemini, a troublesome position for the nation and one source of Trump’s populism.

The Mercury return in Cancer will sensitise Trump’s intuition. Mercury rules his Gemini personality, so he often “goes with the gut” – a basic form of feeling/intuition. In his natal chart, Mercury squares Neptune in Libra, amplifying that tendency.

On the one hand, these two planets of intuition can make him a master of double-speak and subtle manipulation – and/or have the capacity to see through it, if he is on the receiving end.

USA’s Heart Centre: LA Burning – Again
Burning this time with the wildfire of differing ideologies and politics.

The Trusk Spat
(See also this in-depth analysis earlier in 2025: Trusk: Unique Synastry of Trump and Musk)

Or should that be Mump? Do they now have the mumps? The bromance between Trump and Musk exploded on June 5 with both parties trading insults, with Musk on the attack, calling for Trump’s impeachment. The key factors here are,

1. Trump approaching his Mars return (exact on the full moon) – opposite Musk’s Mars. Mars at this level is all about ego. There is the war between two lions when considering Musk’s progressed Sun in Leo.

2. Musk’s progressed Sun in Leo conjunct Trump’s Mars-Ascendant in Leo.

3. Musk’s progressed Sun in Leo squares his Jupiter in Scorpio, creating a T-square in fixed signs between the two. (See chart wheel graphic above.)

This relationship has been simmering for quite some time, but the transit of Mars in Leo has blown the lid off underlying tensions. It may well be even more explosive in days to come, as Mars moves into its exact return in Trump’s chart – on the full moon.

However, some commentators are saying that there is also of theatre going on – Leo drama queens! That it’s a smokescreen for DOGE transferring citizens’ data to Peter Thiel’s Palantir company. Thiel and Musk hail from the “Paypal mafia” days. Palantir works closely with intelligence agencies, ICE (on mass deportations) and the MIC (military industrial complex).

Thiel is a tech/hedge fund billlionaire who is one of the WEF’s “young global leaders”. He is Zionist ideologically and a supporter of Israel. He is a mentor of Vice-president JD Vance. Along with fellow billionaire Jeff Bezos and many in Silicon Valley, Thiel is very interested in pursuing physical immortality. Here is a reflection of the tech world’s materialistic polarisation – and a lack of awareness around the basic abc’s of karma and reincarnation.

Trump-Israel Synastry & Zionist Influence
There are many powerful synastries between the two horoscopes of Trump and Israel. It is easy to see why their relationship is so inextricably entwined. Trump was born in 1946, just before the Nakba of 1948 – when Israel was established by taking over Palestinian land by violence and slaughter.

There are some key synastries of interest here that can be tracked in the horoscope wheel above.

1. Israel’s Sun in Taurus sits on Trumps’s midheaven (public, career, ambition).
2. Israel’s Sun in Taurus square Mars in Leo – is the most aggressive factor that reflects its fanaticism and ruthlessness.

– Israel’s Mars in Leo sits close to Trump’s Mars in Leo – and his Leo ascendant.
– Vice-president JD Vance’s ascendant-Venus in Leo, sits close to Trump’s positions.
– Benjamin Netanyahu’s Mars in Leo is in the same degree as Trump’s Mars in Leo!

The Sabian symbol for this 27^th degree is, “The luminescence of dawn in the eastern sky. Keynote: The exalting challenge of new opportunities at the threshold of a new cycle.” ((mindfire.ca))

This can of course be used for good or ill, depending upon distortions of ideology. (Netanyahu was born in 1949.) Trumpanyahu’s shared Mars position might be reflected in the appalling AI video that depicts them both sipping drinks in a futuristic “riviera” Gaza resort. (See also 2025 newsletter: Trumpanyahu on Gaza.)

3. Israels’ Scorpio midheaven square to Trump’s Leo ascendant. This challenging aspect, plus Israel’s Taurus sun on Trump’s midheaven, reflects their respective dharma’s inextricably entwined. And the criticism that Trump has been “bought-off” by the Zionist lobby, who it is said – presided over Trump’s proposed list of cabinet appointees.

This resulted in a disproportionate number of Jewish and Christian Zionists – sympathetic to Israel. Bear in mind that this recurring theme of Zionism might be seen as the author’s personal obsession, but it is simply  meant to raise awareness of the menace of this ideology – which controls the USA, Israel-Gaza policy and many other nations. The following names are just a few who hold major positions, part of a broader network:

“Ambassador to Israel is the fanatical Christian Zionist Mike Huckabee, who has openly said he refuses to use the words West Bank and calls the territory “Judea and Samaria” instead. Also, a Christian Zionist fanatic is the new Chief of Staff, Susie Wiles.

Trump’s pick for Middle East envoy is business tycoon, Steven Witkoff, a staunch Zionist of Jewish descent. Israel’s richest billionaire Miriam Adelson bankrolled the Trump campaign, donating a whopping 100 million dollars. Mike Waltz will serve as the new National Security Advisor, a man who has taken hundreds of thousands of dollars from pro-Israel lobby groups and is an avid supporter of Israel.

Secretary of Defense – Pete Hegseth – Christian Zionist who has claimed that the Bible gives Israel the right to the land of Palestine. Hegseth is an ex-marine and host of a show on Fox News, on which he gave a pandering interview to Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, filled with softball questions and condemnatory remarks against the idea of a ceasefire in Gaza.

Secretary of State is Marco Rubio, who has received in excess of a million dollars from pro-Israel donors and is a fully-fledged supporter of Israel, along with just about every single regime change war imaginable. Donald Trump’s pick for CIA director is John Ratcliffe, a man who has accused Joe Biden of not being pro-Israel enough and of being tougher on Hamas, he is in favor of a war with Iran and is regarded as a foreign policy hawk.”32

Hence, for those Trump supporters who held out hope that the tide would turn with regard to USA’s grovelling position to Israel – it appears the dye has been set.

Britain in Ziore Straits
With AIPAC and the ADL working overtime in the USA – getting students arrested at universities, over the pond in Britain, Zionist ideology has hijacked the BBC media network. Watch the following exposé by brilliant investigative journalist and rapper – “Lowkey”, on DoubleDown News: BBC Exposed: What Really Happened to Gary Lineker.

Lowkey exposes the extraordinary network of people who have gained complete control of reporting what happens in Gaza, who were responsible for the campaign against Jeremy Corbyn in 2015 – and a host of other deceptive projects. These spin doctors and tweakers of the truth have not yet learnt “right speech” – one of the precepts of the Buddhist Noble Eightfold Path, and of  course, Gemini the communicator:

“Socrates said, ‘The misuse of language induces evil in the soul.’ He wasn’t talking about grammar. To misuse language is to use it the way politicians and advertisers do, for profit, without taking responsibility for what the words mean. Language used as a means to get power or make money goes wrong: it lies. Language used as an end in itself, to sing a poem or tell a story, goes right, goes towards the truth.

A writer is a person who cares what words mean, what they say, how they say it. Writers know words are their way towards truth and freedom, and so they use them with care, with thought, with fear, with delight. By using words well they strengthen their souls. Story-tellers and poets spend their lives learning that skill and art of using words well. And their words make the souls of their readers stronger, brighter, deeper.” (Ursula K. Le Guin)

Jupiter Moves into Cancer
Jupiter moves into Cancer two days before the full moon on June 11, staying there until June 30, 2026. Jupiter is exalted in Cancer because it blends its goodwill, moral principles and inherent generosity with nurturing, maternal Cancer – bringing abundance, spiritually and materially. As Jupiter is the ruler of the second ray of Love-Wisdom, it brings a compassion and kindness that finds its point of least resistance in the feminine principle.

Cancer relates to the house, shelter, protection, basic human needs of food and nutrition, sorely missed by many millions around the world. Perhaps Jupiter’s 12-year transit through Cancer will prick the conscience of Humanity again, to be more generous toward those who lack. Esoterically, it is said,

“… in its highest, Jupiter is the outgoing expression of love, which attracts magnetically to itself that which is desired—this time the good of the whole … Jupiter is exalted in Cancer, the great sign wherein the desire for incarnation finds its fulfilment.”33

Cancer is the “doorway into life” whilst its polar opposite Capricorn is “the doorway into life of those who know not death.”34 The Cancer-Capricorn axis is commonly related to resources and their management – growing food, farming, land, housing and money.

USA’s Jupiter Return: Homelessness
The abundance of resources can be seen in USA’s 1776 horoscope through its Jupiter in Cancer. USA, a land gifted with vast resources, yet paradoxically has an equally vast problem of homelessness.

The USA will go through its next Jupiter return in the last week of June 2025. Soon after Jupiter will pass over USA’s Cancer sun in the first couple of weeks of August, staying in the vicinity through to March 2026.

The political capital Washington is ruled by Cancer at the soul level. And the USA is a Jupiter-ruled second ray soul. Hence this year, there is the potential for the new US administration to address this deeply eroded crack in the psyche of the nation.

Obviously, it is a long-term complex problem; it appears that US Gov is attempting to tackle it from a controversial angle: Trump turns homelessness response away from housing, toward forced treatment.

“President Trump is vowing a new approach to getting homeless people off the streets by forcibly moving those living outside into large camps while mandating mental health and addiction treatment — an aggressive departure from the nation’s leading homelessness policy, which for decades has prioritized housing as the most effective way to combat the crisis.

“Our once-great cities have become unlivable, unsanitary nightmares,” Mr. Trump said in a presidential campaign video. “For those who are severely mentally ill and deeply disturbed, we will bring them to mental institutions, where they belong, with the goal of reintegrating them back into society once they are well enough to manage.”35
