November – December 2025
HAPPY HOLIDAYS!
The Sign of Sagittarius,
(Politics, Mass Communication, and the New Global Alignments.)
As America challenges all its previous allies and trading partnerships under the MAGA isolationist policies, we are witnessing a backlash of a new and powerful alliance between the nations of India, Russia, North Korea, and China. Russia is the biggest land mass nation in the world and shares much of its border with China. It barely supports a tiny disintegrating economy while at war with Ukraine, which is successfully bombing and destroying its oil and gas pipelines and infrastructure. India, which has been “tariffed” by Trump, is now insulted and alienated from a decades-long technological and economic relationship with the US.
China has the second-largest economy in the world, holds more gold in its accounts than anyone else as a “hedge” against inflation, and is equal to the US in military might. Trump has forged a “mixed ownership” TikTok deal with China, proposing a consortium of corporations owning this mass social media empire, leaving a sliver to be owned by China. However, he is imposing huge tariffs on China on most products. Meanwhile, US farmers are going bankrupt as migrant workers are fleeing or being deported, and the US tariffs on China have caused it to close its market for soybeans. China is picking up the markets in nations Trump has “tariffed” on its pathway to becoming the world’s greatest economy. At this time, China is ahead of the US in the manufacture of solar panels, electric vehicles, environmental technology, and AI infrastructure. They have developed a nuclear fusion plant that may be ahead of all the other sites.
NATO has gathered strength in Europe under the US presidency. Trump previously “stepped back” from challenging Putin in the Russia/Ukraine War and then verbally lent his support to Ukraine; tactics that “flip-flop” back and forth, leaving the world in a black hole of uncertainty. However, Ukraine’s careful targeting of Russia’s oil and gas infrastructure, lampooning Russia’s economy, and fighting back at its borders is leading many to think they will ultimately win this war. The UK, going through a serious economic downturn, has cozied up to Trump in exchange for American businesses going there.
Speaking to “cozying up” to Trump, the optics of our nation’s billionaire “tech magnates” sitting together smiling at a recent luncheon with the President, are revealing to us why a Fascist is still comfortably reigning over this nation.
MERCURY goes retrograde Nov. 9 until Nov. 29th, in Sagittarius, backward into Scorpio, direct in Scorpio, and forward into Sagittarius Dec. 12. There will be confusion between the optimism innate in Sagittarius and the lack of trust present in the sign of Scorpio. The Sagittarius planets are square (in conflict with) Saturn and Neptune, which are back in Pisces until next year, moving the public back into fear, disillusionment, and despair.
JUPITER, currently in Cancer, is somewhat protective of the US, a Sun in Cancer nation. However, worldwide, serious natural events such as volcanic eruptions, storms, and earthquakes are likely to recur. These same transits form volatile aspects going through the astrological chart of the President. Trump, whose mental stability has been in question in recent months. He has been sending ICE and National Guard military forces into Chicago and Portland illegally, supposedly looking for undocumented migrants. This would cause us to recall Hitler’s Gestapo in 1930s and 1940s Germany with its mass arrests, killings, and incarcerations. The recent and most impressive “No King” rallies throughout the nation would remind us of the first American Revolution, as I have mentioned in previous newsletters. We are fighting for Democracy once again.
Freedom of Speech:
September and October presented us with a political assassination, multiple mass shootings, and the firing of media comics whose comments alienated the Trump coalitions. Trump’s extortion racket tactics of “permitting” media giants to merge with each other in exchange for getting rid of any dissent with his policies – are all reminding us that we are a nation run by oligarchs. The One Per Cent owns nearly everything and – as a consequence – owns nearly everyone. Freedom of speech is on the chopping block.
As polls are being taken, people are being interviewed, opinions are being expressed. The Jeffrey Epstein scandal, implicating Trump, is not going away. The president’s recent speeches at the UN and in front of the US military filled with hate, condemnation of immigrants and his political foes and, most importantly, scatter-shot and nearly incomprehensible would lend support to those who think he is mentally unwell.
It would seem that the public is so inundated by every form of mass media with information and opinions, they have withdrawn into personal positions, dark places, and blind corners where they frequently no longer seem to know what is going on at all.
The Economy:
Inflation is not being tamed. The US debt is so large and growing that, even with lowered interest rates, Congress cannot make a dent in it. Prices are so high, most of the so-called “middle class” cannot afford a house, buy groceries, rent an apartment, buy a car, or medically insure themselves. According to the National Association of Realtors, housing prices are up 56% since February 2020. About 15% of our population is now “co-buying” homes with a friend or relative. Unemployment is rising.
Wall Street will likely have extreme “mood swings”, not sure where it is going. The value of the dollar is coming dangerously close to the famous 1920s Wiemar Republic currency inflation. The US, along with many other nations throughout the industrialized world, cannot sustain the deficits and/or pay back their loans. The Trump tariffs are already contributing to price inflation.
Gold and silver have risen recently, to levels not seen in decades and this trend will likely continue. Silver has now officially been named an “essential metal”, since it is used on solar panels, aviation and growing military technologies. The decades long “short” positions by investment banks and hedge funds in silver may be coming to an end. In spite of recent “corrections in the metals, I think the upward trend will continue.
History Rhymes:
Uranus retrogrades back into Taurus on November 7th until April 26, 2026, when it goes fully back into Gemini until May 23, 2033. Taurus, ruling land masses, wars over territories, real estate ownership, and environmental catastrophes. and attention on earth sciences, will bring back the crises we have been experiencing since it transited into this sign in March 2019. We have all seen it mimic its previous transit in the 1930s when the Third Reich rose in Germany, WWII broke out in Europe, and the devastating Dust Bowl crisis moved across the US. It has also highlighted and even repeated a similar rise in dictatorships and Fascism across the world that accompanied that previous era.
We recently avoided another Great Depression through tricky maneuvers that moved our nation’s profits and fortunes into the funds of the billionaire class, cut their taxes and moved manufacturing out of America to cheap labor abroad with no environmental restrictions. The Trump administration is correct about this. However, the Middle Class has nearly disappeared. Nearly nobody can afford health insurance any more. Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid, funds to public education and infrastructure that got us out of the effects of that depression and WWII have either been cut or are threatened with disappearing all together. Most importantly, this administration has defunded the largest and most important American infrastructures for science, advanced technology and higher education in the world.
Next year, when Uranus is back in Gemini (and Neptune and Saturn will be back in Aries), the movements away from Fascism and back into Democracy will likely strengthen. We will have to fight for self-governance all over again, as we did with the American Revolution, the Civil War, and WWII, when Uranus previously transited this sign. Democracy won every time. However, the price for all this was the experiencing of massive painful upheavals — and we had to fight “wars.”
Science and Technology:
Online newsletter FUSION reports: “First Light achieves world’s first fusion result, proving unique new target technology.” It goes on to say:
Fusion shown with projectile approach for the first time validated by UKAEA.
Breakthrough achieved faster and cheaper than traditional fusion approaches,
Unique target approach offers a simpler pathway to low-cost fusion energy using existing plant technology,
PROJECTILE approach enables a high-margin consumables business model with an addressable market in the hundreds of billions.”
OXFORD, UK:
“First Light Fusion, the University of Oxford fusion spin-out, today confirms it has achieved fusion. The UK Atomic Energy Authority has independently validated the result.” “Projectile fusion is a new approach to inertial fusion that is simpler, more energy efficient, and has lower physics risk.”
Recently in the US, there has been a move backed by Bill Gates and other billionaires into refurbishing or constructing Nuclear Fission plants, since we all know energy needs are growing exponentially across the world. These plants use Uranium and Plutonium, among the most toxic elements known to humankind.
I have pointed out that the last time Uranus transited through Gemini, we created the Manhattan Project with resulted in dropping the atomic bombs on Japan, using nuclear fission. Shortly thereafter, we developed the hydrogen bomb, using fusion. I am convinced the future of energy lies in nuclear fusion with no toxic pollution and have been informing my readership with information about these fusion sites throughout the world. I will continue to report on the progress in this field.
On Oct. MIT News, an article was posted entitled: “Concrete ‘battery’ developed at MIT now packs 10 times the power.” They go on to report: “Improved carbon-cement supercapacitors could turn the concrete around us into massive energy storage systems.” Andrew Paul Laurent explains: “An electron conducting carbon concrete (ec3) – based arch structure integrated supercapacitor electrodes for dual functionality … The prototype demonstrates both structural and load-bearing and the ability to power an LED, with the light’s intensity varying under applied load, highlighting the potential for real-time structural health monitoring via the supercapacitor.” The article goes on to say: “Electron conducting carbon concrete… could one day double as giant ‘batteries.’ It never ceases to amaze me how rapidly technology for energy production and storage is developing.
It has recently been reported that with our new advanced technologies, science now reveals that “gravitational waves” have actually shaped the universe. This is a profound discovery and p;resents a new framework for the cosmic reality we all share.
As I predicted in previous newsletters, it has been reported that a new strain of COVID-19, known as Stratus, has become dominant nationwide. It has most recently appeared in Connecticut, Delaware, Nevada, and Utah.
Go Women!
Japan has elected its first female prime minister, Sanae Takichi. She is known as an ultra-conservative China “hawk”.
Dame Sarah Mullally has been elected the first woman Archbishop of Canterbury (head of the Church of England).
Final Thoughts:
We are living in the “interesting times” proclaimed in the Chinese Curse. The world is in upheaval, and nation-states are in an “identity crisis.” We do not like who we are, but very few know who they can or will be. Climate shifts are on the rise, and we have been unable, up to now, to do what it takes to modify our behavior that has contributed to it.
It would seem hopeless. I do not believe in hopelessness. This kind of pain is necessary when great cycles change life on earth to make way for a new, more intelligent, and more expansive human presence – an evolutionary leap in technology, science, and the capacity for compassion and expanded spiritual experiences.
This is “the darkness before the dawn”. Let us all gather to welcome the dawn.
Have a happy Holiday season and a blessed New Year!
Linda
