New World Order - 2020-2021

In my eyes, the year 2020 is the beginning of the end.

This election cycle is no different. No one can deny the image of a Black woman in office. It is powerful. Removing Trump from office is a reason to celebrate. Weeding out the rest of white supremacy and racism from the power elect is the work that continues. We know that image is not everything. That the Biden/Harris ticket carries heavy, heavy karmic burdens. Celebrity & hero culture, in which we prop up individuals as saviors, instead of decentralizing our roles as a collective, is something we will continue to break away from as we head into the Age of Aquarius this December.

If we haven’t been aware already, this election showed us the power of the Black, Brown, Indigenous & working class communities, their organizing, and their leadership.

My intention for posting about the election is to give awareness of what is coming through from me. I cannot prove that Astrology and tarot doesn’t have some sort of confirmation bias or projection to it, and in all honestly: it does. You have to be a disciplined reader and intuiter, to make sure you’re not interfering with what comes through with your own emotion. Like we have learned with any form of quantum entanglement, the observers state and interpretation, impacts everything. My perspective, like everyone’s, is impacted by my inheritance in life. Therefore, it is not complete and will never represent the whole. I can only speak for myself. What I hope you might get out of interpreting my reading, is that it helps take you a little further into the ethos of what these individuals impact have on our nation, the longer we decide to engage in systems that got them there. My goal is that you may realize the impact that will be possible collectively, the more we unite together to change these systems.

I will be referencing a quick reading I did through my Instagram stories back on September 22nd of 2020. The outcome for both presidential candidates participating in the 2020 Election. First off, for Donald Trump, the cards showed us what we know to be true of him. While the 7 of wands can at times be a great trait, standing your ground, for what is right, next to the most vulnerable to fight for change, in Trumps case it is met with the Mother of Pentacles as well as the 7 of swords. This shows that together, there is an air of manipulation, deceit and attempting to sneak away with something that is false or untrue. The courage in the 7 of wands suddenly has nothing substantial behind it. It is false power. We cannot expect him to back down from attempting to control the results of this election. The challenge will be in keeping pressure on and challenging the weaker ties Trump has in his circle. So often, someone that sustains their power, does so by the many people around them, who invest in them to carry out their role. Weak ties, actually are the strongest ties because they create bridges and loopholes. Our focus must not remain on Trump, but on those who remain loyal to, as well as invested in white supremacy.

With Mercury moving direct on the day of the election, we saw a huge shift in the experience of news coverage. Whether it was folks breaking their loyalty, actually reporting the news for the first time in a long time, or the myriad of representation and narratives we were able to hear from, had shifted. It is absolutely not perfect, but it was present. We had, as we have seen for many years in elections, a visible measure that this systems two parties represent a greater truth. That this system was designed by and for white people, and white people alone would on majority would rather see a mass extinction than sacrifice their access to power.

I would expect to see more from Trump in the coming months. Neptune, which has been in retrograde squaring his nodal placements of the North and South nodes in Sagittarius and Gemini, will move direct later this month, for the first time since late June. As Neptune rules image, imagination, fantasy and illusion. It rules the story in which we live in. The narrative that cultivates belief and cultivates culture. It also rules empathy, compassion and connection. I believe we will see with greater clarity the tapestry of white supremacy connected to Trump. When Neptune shifts, it will shift the narrative and our current system will have to remain accountable. We all must move forward in bravery to continue to disentangle from the illusions of the two party system and our government as a whole. Reform has not ever worked in the past, we need a whole new system and the folks in power who can lead us there with powerful and unapologetic vision. Neptune will continue on to challenge the narrative of the United States for the entire year of 2021. When we challenge the narrative, we challenge the “Imagination” that is white supremacy. We challenge it by bringing forth the ideas, vision and collaboration to create a new “imagination” for us all to exist with in. The design, creates the system. And together, we will design a new system.

The nodes in early January move further to the top of his chart where they will conjunct Trumps natal Uranus, causing a disruption and utter change to his career and reputation. Uranus as always, brings with it chaos, we can expect Trump to make a scene on the world stage. As we move into the spring of 2021, transiting Jupiter moving into Aquarius, oppose Trumps natal Pluto. This brings major struggles with power. It increases ego and fanaticism. It increases a persons lust of power. It can generate more power, and a lack of care of how it impacts others. We can expect to see him rise in power because of this, but also be challenged profusely, perhaps by a greater power. Ultimately a Jupiter/Pluto transit is karmic, and for those who are sitting on stolen, corrupt or rotten power, they will be uprooted in one big, dramatic grand gesture that Jupiter can liken to. It will be our duty as a collective to protect those who are most vulnerable and show that we are a greater force than fascism.

For Biden, we have a reading that shows a lot of momentum with the 8 of wands. It is victorious, with lot of information and communication circulating, very quickly. With Mercury having moved direct on the day of the election, we are integrating a new type of communication style, and some big lessons on how to keep our information true and just. And then we have the Death card, a total death and rebirth of the old. A total transformation. The Death card speaks to the ending of one cycle and the entering of the new. On all levels, this speaks to what came before, having no place in what lies ahead. The Mother of Wands coming through at the end, confident, fiery and fierce. There is an awakening in the body with the wands. People all over being energized at the root to act. We will never be where we need to be, but this is a total ignition of movement. We will see this only continue as Mars turns direct on November 14th in the sign of Aries, but more on that later.

My eye goes to transiting Uranus that will oppose Biden’s natal Mars. It is a transit we cannot ignore, contributed by the Nodes inching closer to his ASC/DSC axis. In May of 2021 there will be a Lunar Eclipse in Sagittarius, exactly conjunct Joe Biden’s Ascendent. Combined with this reading, I find this to be pointing in the potential direction of something startling for Joe Biden as an individual. Mars/Uranus energy is volatile. While it is the energy of revolution, it can show major accidents or even violence. We must not under-estimate the power of eclipses as they typically transition life chapters through major events. A Lunar eclipse shows us a an ending of some sort, a cycle that has come to a close. In the 1st house for Biden, this is a major ending for him as an individual. His relationship to self, ego, body and soul. This same Lunar Eclipse is falling in Kamala Harris’ chart, falls in her 7th house of relationships. Meaning the ending of a partnership or primary relationship. At this same moment, Jupiter moves into the sign of Pisces and into the top of her chart, making a conjunction to her Midheaven and bringing expansion of her reputation and place in the world. Transiting Mercury and Venus conjunct in Gemini will aspect her North Node and Ascendent at this same time. This will be a time in which that energy rises and expands for her, and she may very well somehow, someway end up being the first sitting female president of the United States. I feel strongly about this due to the astrology of the next few years. If this does not happen next year, I believe there is a high likely hood that it will happen no later than the year 2022.

This May Lunar eclipse is also coincidentally, conjuncts the Ascendent of the United States of America, meaning it will be an ending and final chapter of the face of our country. As Lunar eclipses can sometimes ignite changes that can take up to 6 months to actualize, we may not see the immediate results until the mid-end of 2021 and beyond. As the nodes complete their chapter in Sag and Gemini through December 2021, we may see these things unfold as we complete 2021.

The last reading is for the collective. The outcome for us when we keep investing into what we have direct control of. How we show up in our own communities, our relationships, our currency and where we spend it. When we look to the months ahead, we are not only about to begin a new chapter, we are beginning an entirely different book. Refer to my last post for more on the Jupiter / Saturn conjunction happening in the sign of Aquarius on December 21st. An aspect that has not occurred for thousands of years that will completely alter life as we know it for us as a species. Where we are headed, we have never been before as a collective. It has the potential to be incredibly creative and world changing. Life over these next years ahead will continue to be life-changing for all individuals. This is largely because we are also, as a country, in our first ever Pluto Return since our founding in 1776, climbing that mountain, where we will reach its climax in 2022. Our cards call us to have faith, to believe in and to invest in our own potential. To believe that we are more capable than we were ever made to believe. The 6 of wands shows us that we should confidently contribute our unique talents into the collective. This is everyone being seen, and being valued. The 5 of cups at the center piece can warn us about our perspectives. This card largely can represent a loss in our lives. A feeling like we are longing for something that once was. This card cautions on over-indulgence or getting stuck in a negative mind set of hopelessness. 3 cups are spilt over in this cards traditional imagery, we can choose to remain focused on what it is that we have lost, or we can turn our focus on making something with the 2 cups we still have at our access. The Magician and the 6 of Wands is begging for us to believe in ourselves and know that anything is possible. We have all the tools we need to build a new world together.

Over the next few weeks with Mars moving direct on the 14th, we can expect a build up of tension, and then a big release. For those who have been working with this retrograde energy, we have been mastering our energy. Where we need more balance, more grace, or more assertion or boundaries. Mars operates as the “masculine archetype”, not as a gender specific energy, but as an operating principle of how “self” is inserted into the collective. Mars is the vehicle of our personality and makes all motions go. With this long retrograde we have been in for the past few months in the sign of Aries, we have been challenged by the Pluto/Saturn/Jupiter business in Capricorn. Where our current structures, systems and beliefs may taint, repress or corrupt Mars’ expression for many. We see Mars’ archetype being controlled or suppressed in those who identify as trans, non-binary, or female, while Mars has over-exerted itself in some male identifying individuals as an attempt to latch on to the old. Aries rules our power as individuals, in our own self agency and organizing. We can expect to see organized groups all across the country standing up in their own expression of the Mars archetype to demand justice, or to oppose it.

Where we are headed, lucky for us, is that there is no room for the old in the new world the Jupiter Saturn conjunction in Aquarius in December will bring. Those who attempt to resist the new direction, new ideas, and communities coming together for true democracy will fall. This is very much the fall of the plutocracy and the early stages of the building of a holocracy. Hang in there folks, take care of one another <3

Till next time,
