I’m amazed that people are still hypnotized by the likes of Tucker Carlson and the whopper-sized A-List “health freedom” thought leaders. I’m stunned by those who still believe it’s OK for them to lie to their audience because their audience is “not ready for the truth.”
Dear Friend and Reader:
Yesterday was almost The Day After. On Tuesday, Pres. Trump was calling for the annihilation of an entire population, by which he meant Iran, and we all presume he meant by the use of nuclear weapons. The Day After was a 1983 TV movie created by ABC. Its premise was that there would be survivors to a nuclear holocaust.
Before this experience drops down the memory hole, I propose we ponder it for a sec, and consider the stress that all of this crazy-making is inducing in people trying to get through the day. This is just the latest abusive insanity we’ve had to endure over the past six years; but do you realize that’s what it is? Pure abuse of your trust and your peace of mind, and your ability to survive?
What I’m wondering and what I don’t hear anyone else asking is: what is exposure to this chaos doing to us? What is it doing to you? The answer is, not nothing.
Aries is the sign of self-potential and personal development. With all of the recent movement in Aries, which is about to increase as Mars makes its way through Aries country for about six weeks, these events are changing us. The entire environment in which we’re living now is changing us. But how?
Well, it’s difficult to say, but constant anxiety and the need to adapt create not just stress but also the expectation that the other shoe is always about to drop.
The Second Coming is in Your Soul, Not the Sky
Apparently people grumbled a little (but just a little) about the threat of the United States launching preemptive nuclear war. My podcast Tuesday got comments from several concerned people. The headlines were blaring even in The Wall Street Journal that even Republicans were rebuking Trump for threatening H-bomb holocaust.
His move led to a claimed ceasefire, which seems to be paper thin and does not include Lebanon, but why is the United States at war with that country? We are once again lost in the fog of war.
I know we’re in the days of “giddy up for the apocalypse,” though we did not wake up in a post-nuclear apocalypse world. If what A Course in Miracles says is true, when Jesus comes back, it will be within you, not a guy descending out of the clouds.
Before I get into the next six or so weeks of astrology worth considering carefully (Mars in Aries), I want to join the voices who are calling for the invocation of the 25th Amendment, an emergency provision of the constitution for when the president is incapacitated. This provision was the brainchild of Pres. Dwight Eisenhower and adopted into the constitution in 1967. Here is a basic explanation. It is not simple, and requires putting country before party.
Any ordinary social media user who called for the murder of an entire society would likely be banned from the platform. If some A.I. model suggested such a thing, it would be headlines all over the internet and there would be an investigation.
The Nuclear Football and the Board of Peace
Any president in possession of the nuclear football (the briefcase with all the launch codes, shown above) who openly calls for genocide — that is, murdering the entire civilian population of a country overnight — is bat guano and needs to be canceled.
Especially if he’s also the chairman of the Board of Peace, or rather, the board of War is Peace, Freedom is Slavery and Ignorance is Strength.
For anyone who doubted his mental competence, and even those who did not, we now have evidence of an issue. I am not saying Trump is not human; he is human, that’s the point, and sometimes humans go a little funny in the head.
Iran did nothing to the United States. After claiming to have destroyed its nuclear capability last June, he accused them of building nuclear bombs (just like George W. Bush and company falsely accused Iraq). Then — right before our eyes — he threatened to use nuclear weapons on them. I have reason to believe that American B-52s located in England were deployed Tuesday, which was a long day for anyone paying attention.
If this is not insane, then nothing is. And here on PlanetGPT, it may seem perfectly reasonable. The problem with the whole society imbibing hallucinatory, human-impersonating, disembodying, suicide-inducing “artificial intelligence,” is that what is completely cuckoo can seem perfectly reasonable.
“I’m a hecuva diver afer a few dinks!” That’s the digital spirit! How many fingers am I holding up? OK now try touching your nose.
Mars Enters Aries — The Intrigue Continues
Mars entered Aries Thursday. This is going to be an eventful transit. The Aries Point (the first degrees of Aries, Cancer, Libra and Capricorn) is packed. I have placed an inventory of the first four degrees above.
Aries is especially busy, and was the scene of the Saturn-Neptune conjunction a few weeks ago, as well as the Chiron-Eris conjunction less than a month ago. Between now and approximately April 15, Mars is going to cross the territory; it will make conjunctions to most of those planets. And that is just the first four degrees of Aries.
Mars in Pisces (believe it or not) has muted the aggressive quality of Mars. Mars in Pisces goes slowly, it can be self-indulgent, but is generally not violent. Mars in Aries combines impatience with unrestrained assertion with lack of confidence that can be compensated for by doing a little too much.
On April 13, Mars makes a conjunction to Neptune. Neptune’s orb of influence is wide, so the conjunction is in effect now. This pairing can lack self-awareness and be self-destructive. At the same time, Mars will be conjunct Borasisi, a subtle planet associated with chemical and nuclear issues (a Borasisi event in 2011 predicted the Fukushima nuclear disaster).
Nonstop Torrent of Propaganda
We are in a long Borasisi-Neptune conjunction, and both planets involve matters of truth, lies and denial. Borasisi is way out in the Kuiper Belt, past Pluto. I may be the only person who’s ever written a real article about it. A third point is in an aspect pattern — Poseidon, a kind of super-Neptune, about 135 degrees away in Scorpio. Together these represent the nonstop torrent of propaganda we are enduring. The setup is a kind of chain reaction.
I’m amazed that people are still hypnotized by the likes of Tucker Carlson and the whopper-sized A-list “health freedom” advocates whose deceptions I have repeatedly exposed. That’s a sign of sleepwalking. I’m stunned by those who say it’s OK for them to lie to their audience because their audience is “not ready for the truth.”
Maybe they would be ready if they had enough information to make up their own mind about matters that are vital to them. The problem with propaganda is that it’s self-concealing. You might not notice it if it’s designed to make you think you agree with it. Gee, this narcotic fruit punch sure is delicious! Someone fetch me another cup!
The best propaganda is designed to lull you into submissiveness. Every time I start my car, the radio is set to a Fox station out of Albany. They are always trying to sell me what a caring father figure Donald Trump is, and how bombing Iran will make the world a safer place for our children. I could see people believing this, sickening as it is. Glenn Beck is quite the hypnotist.
Then Comes Uranus
Part of our condition is described by the blinding speed at which society is moving. Nearly all of this is driven by technology. The latest major product launch (the entire ChatGPT category) has become a full-scale arms race between the tech giants and between countries. Nobody understands what the casual use of this technology is doing to them (the answer again is not nothing).
Uranus enters Gemini to stay in about two weeks, after a brief visit during the A.I. summer of 2025. It was last in Gemini between 1941 and 1949. In that era, modern computer science was born, and applied as a weapon of war. The Nazi code (contained in a device called the Enigma) was cracked by the Turing Machine, a complicated analog computer. The Nazis themselves used crude computers to keep track of concentration camp victims, called Hollerith punch-card machines, provided to them by IBM, a New York company, through German and Polish subsidiaries.
These facts were carefully concealed from the public after the war. So too was the knowledge that computers would come to dominate life in the second half of the 20th century.
One Uranus cycle earlier, telegraph wires were being draped across the landscape, and this technology changed thought and society irrevocably. Many things we take for granted today are the legacy of the telegraph, which in its time had an impact comparable to the internet.
If history is any indicator, Uranus in Gemini is going to increase the speed and influence of technology radically. Just remember that humans were designed to move across the land at about 5 mph, and to look at one another when communicating. We evolved to live, eat and sleep together.
We did not evolve to think at gigahertz speed and transmit our ideas at the speed of light; but here we find ourselves. And if we find ourselves caught in some inevitability, that’s mostly the result of a failure to contemplate what’s happening.
