As Mars barrels across the South Node in Virgo on 22 July 2025 (20°45′ ♍, exact at 21:56 UTC) the ignition key turns in a powder‑keg of militant perfectionism.
This is not your ordinary “get it done” energy; it’s an emergency drill hammered into our muscle memory through many past lifetimes of rigid protocols. You feel the Martial twitch before you even think: Mars in Virgo propels us with an impulse to correct, criticise, sterilise—anything to keep chaos at bay. Yet every swing of the scalpel keeps the wound open.
Why is the Virgo South Node the toughest to purge? Because it knows it’s stuck. The mind sees the loop—analyse, tighten, police—and still can’t let go. Habitual vigilance against contamination (physical, moral, emotional) breeds nervous inflammation: gut flare‑ups, strained fascia, sudden fevers. The soul recalls a time when the cosmos was neat and orderly, measured in neatly labelled drawers; when everyone had jobs and role to play. Now Mars kicks those ‘past life’ drawers wide open, scattering pins and scalpels across the floor. Your first instinct is to pick them up faster. And that, precisely, is the trap.
Individually, expect volatile micro‑explosions: snapping at colleagues over procedural slip‑ups, rage‑quitting projects that fail to meet obsessive standards, or injuring yourself while “just fixing” a minor flaw. Sexual energy spasms between abstinence and compulsive release, mirroring the body’s fight between purity and instinct. If you notice your jaw clenched, stomach knotted, or fists itching to correct someone, pause. The antidote isn’t to wage another effort tightening of screws; it’s the Pisces North Node opposite—reminding us to loosen up, let things slide, soak ourselves in ambiguity, let questions float, trust that not every germ has the capacity to kill us.
Collectively, Mars‑South‑Node Virgo is a bureaucratic firefight. Expect ministries, medical boards, and military planners to weaponise every minutiae , launching pre‑emptive strikes over the most fastidiously observed technical breaches. Supply‑chain panics and flare‑ups of “contain‑the‑threat” rhetoric spike, feeding a culture of blame analytics. Perfection becomes ideological: puritanical witch‑hunts against perceived inefficiency or threat of invasiveness, ethnic “cleanses,” or surgical interventions in contested territories.
The stakes rise sharply for the United States. Mars perfects its hit on the South Node barely two degrees shy of the USA chart’s Neptune at 22°♍25′. That means anger meets illusion on the global stage—fog‑of‑war intel, moralistic crusades, and misfired shows of force masquerading as hygienic policy. The closer Mars creeps towards that Neptune, the more combustible foreign affairs look. This sets the opening scene for a deeper examination of America’s Mars/Neptune mutable tangle and the risks incubating beneath its neatly prepared intelligence reports:
WAR-DRUMS OVER AMERICA
Something enormous is unravelling beneath our feet, before our eyes. America’s at a knife-edge razor moment. What we’re witnessing is not merely the dysfunction of empire or your typical routine corruption; this is indeed the final failure of the myth of American exceptionalism—a nation hollowed out by systemic blackmail, foreign subversion, and psychological subversion. And as the stars align with stunning precision, the archetypal pressures behind this moment should strike fear into the heart of every awake and honest citizen. (I’m not saying this to scare anyone, look at this chart):
For one, this is a moment of historical recursion. Any beginner astrology student knows that, as it comes, yet again, as Uranus transits Gemini(every 84 years), America’s usually at war. USA waged full-scale wars during the Revolutionary War (1775–1782), the Civil War (1861–1865), and World War II (1941–1945). Uranus—the electric purveyor of rebellion and disruption—will reach 8° Gemini in July 2027, the exact degree of the USA’s Sibley natal Uranus anear the cusp of its 7th house. This is no accident. Each time Uranus has passed this threshold (1944, 1860-61, 1776), the United States has been violently remade—militarily, socially, and ideologically.
Now, it happens again, Uranus havng only returned to Gemini, but this time, with Pluto—planet of obliteration and rebirth—having recently completed its first return to its USA(Sibley) position in Capricorn (2022–2023). Pluto exposes the rotted roots, the subterranean power brokers, and the karmic burdens of history. Whatever it excavates, Uranus suddenly ignites and detonates.
And what lies buried? A covert empire of blackmail and espionage, spanning decades, whose unmasking began in earnest with the 2019 death of Jeffrey Epstein.
Epstein’s web was not the work of a lone pervert but of a multi-decade intelligence operation, facilitating sexual blackmail on behalf of the CIA, Mossad (Israeli Intelligence), and their globalist intermediaries. When Epstein was “found dead by suicide” in August 2019, the symbolism was strikingly shocking and uncanny: Uranus was in Aries, tightly squaring USA’s Pluto, which was conjunct the transiting South Node at 26º Capricorn.
Months later, a damning interview with Prince Andrew, the Duke of York (November 2019) broke open the aristocratic nexus, laying the groundwork for what should have been a global awakening. In that interview, Prince Andrew not only affirmed his association with Epstein, a convicted child-trafficker, but Andrew astonishingly refused to denounce Epstein (who was by now presumed dead), claiming instead that Epstein was a “good friend” who was instrumental in connecting him to a raft of high-level cosmopolitan trade connections. This would immediately lead to his downfall and create an enormous scandal for the Queen (his mother and reigning monarch) and the entire royal family. They immediately acted to distance themselves from the Prince as questions arose from across the Atlantic about the Epstein case and his illustrious clients.
Instead, what followed was the great silencing: the COVID-19 pandemic, declared just weeks after the Saturn-Pluto conjunction of January 12, 2020, which occurred at 22° Capricorn, tightly conjoining the US natal Pluto. Saturn and Pluto—extreme restriction and authoritarian power—aligned to inaugurate not only a biological crisis but a new media regime. Free speech became centrally and totally suppressed under the guise of “science.” Dissent to medical emergency “laws” was branded conspiracy. And digital surveillance became normalised in a panicked and traumatised global population.
This was far above and beyond a merely pandemic response. In the West, it was a swift initiation into successive inroads on a new totalitarian mode, a modern casebook example that showed how mass formation (or “mass formation psychosis”) enables technocratic control by replacing real connection with a managed narrative and ritualised fear, enforce by state-sanctioned terror and propaganda. People not only swallowed it up, they participated willingly in all kinds of oppressive measures. Mostly, it got their minds off the Epstein scandal, which by January 2020 was becoming red-hot with intrigue.
Now, as we reach the halfway point of 2025, the transits turn apocalyptic.
Saturn and Neptune, now at the early degrees of Aries (world Axis), are stationed Rx, inching toward conjunction in early 2026—a rare alignment that last occurred in 1989 (at the fall of the Berlin Wall). But this time, they do so at the base of the USA’s Sibley chart—the IC, the nation’s roots, land, ancestry, and identity. The conjunction of structure (Saturn) and illusion or idealism (Neptune) at this point is catastrophic and revelatory. It speaks of an existential confusion at the root of the country’s being—a dissolving of the homeland’s coherence. Institutions are buckle. Trust vanishes. A new myth or religion may attempt to replace the old political theology.
Simultaneously, Mars and the South Node are transiting Virgo, approaching the USA’s 10th house Neptune at 22° Virgo and squaring natal Mars at 21° Gemini. This is a dangerous militarised activation of the nation’s delusions about its importance in the world—Mars square Neptune is a classic signature of wars started on either extremely noble aims or false pretences, covert operations, and sacrificial distractions. The square from Virgo suggests that the State will attempt to weaponise purity and order, policing the public square as if it were exercising vermin control, while chaos grows behind the curtain, especially in global affairs and in the eyes of world perception.
Meanwhile, Jupiter returns to Cancer, inthe USA’s 7th house, inflating moral and ethical ideals of justice, international diplomacy, and foreign alliances—but as it squares the transiting Saturn–Neptune conjunction at the IC (the nation’s base and its bedrock of citizens), this optimism collides with foundational disillusionment. Dreams of righteous partnerships with foreign allies face dissolution and dissent, and legal or geopolitical entanglements may unravel as hidden rot in national structures is exposed. The square suggests public trust collapses just as foreign tensions swell, all this echoing karmic accountability through both domestic destabilisation and alliance betrayals.
Jupiter rules justice. If America is to find any redemption, it must begin here, by unveiling the buried structures of control and manipulation.
Yet so far, the response to the Epstein affair has proven the opposite: total systemic protection of the guilty. As recent DOJ disclosures quietly assert, there “was no client list,” contradicting years of legal leaks and public statements. Prominent voices now echo a chilling truth: the lie is not to deceive us—it is to signal to insiders and cohorts that no matter what happens, the system will protect you.
This is Saturn in its darkest guise: the priesthood of the intelligence state, in a sense, sacralising perversion, inverting truth, and enforcing silence by promising immunity to the elect. When this Saturn finally joins Neptune in 2026, we may see the culmination of this process—the final ritual sacrifice of meaning itself, if left unchallenged.
Historically, these patterns have always emerged prior to dramatic reconstitution. Freedom of speech, the right to express radical ideas for autonomy of each human soul (Urnas in Gemini) is encoded in the US constitution. The Revolutionary War was launched under Uranus in Gemini. The Civil War, which was largely fought on ideological grounds similarly, ignited under Uranus’s return to that sign. The US entered WWII just as Uranus crossed into Gemini, conjunct Saturn. y the 1944 Uranus return, the USA was ready to wage full-scale invasion of Europe (D Day) to liberate the world from Nazi ideology. Each time, the United States faced an irreconcilable contradiction between its professed ideals and contemporary shifts in thinking. Each time, it chose conflict as the vehicle for transformation.
The point I’m making here is that we are approaching that point again. The contradictions are becoming untenable: a democracy ruled by unelected agencies; a justice system protecting child traffickers; a media that gaslights the abused; a military complex that projects its crimes onto its citizens.
And all this is coming to a head now as Pluto has formally cemented its 20-year transit through Aquarius, demanding systemic reconfiguration of technology, power, and collective identity. Aquarius is the sign of the crowd, but also of the panopticon. Will it bring liberation through transparency, or subjugation through algorithmic control? Naturally, we only ever get to see 5-10% of Pluto’s deeds. It works slowly and srreptitiously in very complex ways. The one blessing here is that Aquarius demands transparency and sharing of ideas, and I suspect that Pluto is either in its sign of exaltation or fall here (Pluto has the tendency to turn something into its opposite, so we will either head into complete liberation (as in the first constitution of America and its amendments) or the extreme opposite—time will tell and it depends on who’s telling the story.
I must add that astrology, when read faithfully, never dictates events. It reveals pressures, archetypal tides, trends, and karmic knots. It is up to nations (and individuals) to meet these moments with integrity or fall prey to their shadow.
What is coming is not merely a political crisis but the definitive end of an entire psychic epoch. The American public, fed on illusions, medicated and distracted by nonsense, and by extension its Western allies, must awaken or be reprogrammed entirely.
The next 18 months—between mid-2025 and early 2027—are the danger window. If Uranus’s return to Gemini plays out true to form, we will see the eruption of internal conflict along ideological lines become radicalised and go extremely viral, whether civil unrest, economic collapse, or geopolitical rupture. When we add to that the erosion from below, as Saturn-Neptune works on the foundational roots of the nation, and the symbolic collapse of trust in all formal structures, we see an inevitable collapse. One does not need to be an astrologer to see how this is coming.
And here, it must be said that there is no savior politician coming. There is no miraculous ‘second coming’ either, regardless of your religion. No election, and not messiah will fix what is being unmasked here. The solution is spiritual and systemic. It begins with facing the truth—not only about Epstein and his elite protectors, but about our own participation in a system that rewards cowardice and censors courage. The saviours are those who stand up to speak out and expose the corupt system, knowing full well that this will not only erode the entire premise that the nation is built upon, but will bring the house of cards crashing down, for regeneration, renewal, or ultimate death.
No, this is NOT the withheld article on Epstein I mentioned in yesterday’s post. Instead, consider this a raw, unfiltered rant—channelled straight from my 4am nerves, not my notes—though much of the research I have done recently for that article overlaps. As for the original piece, I remain undecided on whether to release it. It’s not just deeply disturbing—it’s soul-blackening, even for someone who already journeys through shadow as a professional. The occult, astrology, serious crime, corruption: these subjects are bound together, inevitably. But when you spend long enough staring into monstrous complexes and systems, you risk letting some of that monstrosity settle into you. I have made my peace with that. However, discretion, in times like these, is not weakness; it is an act of spiritual preservation.

Why are people always just talking about the US? Why don’t you look at the hell what is happening all over in the wet side of EU? SPAIN? IRELAND, FRANCE, ENGLAND, GERMANY? SWEDEN? Massive rapes, attacking innocent natives, police beating THEIR OWN citizens, Corruption of Van der LEYEN and her sidekicks?
Why are not people outrageous about this? Oh, yeah!/ Maybe, (just maybe) because they know NOTHING about this, since the main stream media is being controlled and they SHUT UP about this? Because they are censoring the news and playing a one sided narrative to brainwashed, intellectually limited youths, ignorant, head in the sand people to focus only on the one problem as they see it. WESTERN EU is going down and no main stream media is reporting it. Question: Why and WHO IS BEHIND ALL OF THIS? The movement of planets are influencing the WHOLE globe, yet seemingly it just relates to the US. Pathetically naive.
Your interpretation of thing are very interesting regardless , even if has the same narrow focus to it. Maybe you should put your focus on other things as well like the EU, Middle Eastern countries, Asians and not only the US. No one country is innocent here. NONE!
I hear your frustration—I live in Europe and know the crises here are real. But random violence and social decay, as horrific as they are, exist in a different category than what’s unfolding in the U.S.
If you missed the point, America is now facing a civilizational collapse—astrologically marked by its Pluto return, Saturn–Neptune on the IC, and Uranus returning to Gemini. These are once-in-an-empire-cycle events, signalling collapse or total reinvention from the ground up. The implosion of the mythic core of the Western world, which affects European powers, is happening in the U.S., that is why the U.S. gets the focus. Not because other suffering doesn’t matter, but because what’s happening there will shape the course of all history.
I might suggest, if you’re so concerned with the silence around Western Europe, that write your own thread. Investigate. Synthesise. Publish. Interpret the sky over Spain or Germany, France etc. Or try Russia. See how much factual data you can gain in a continent that lacks even the pretence of freedom of information. You can’t seriously demand others do your thinking for you, especially when you’re not even paying attention to the purpose, audience, or method of the work you’re criticising.
