There was no dire crisis on Inauguration Day 2025 – other than the second presidency of an insurrectionist. That was and is the crisis we now face blended with an existential crisis for survival by a dark wizard from a far away land. The following post attempts to sort out some of the

When it comes to Inauguration 2025 and the planetary energies operative on that ceremonial day, the ongoing Mars-Pluto opposition is one to be concerned about even though on January 20, 2025, transit Mars Rx will have backed up to @24Can23 (conjunct US 1776 Mercury Rx: a fast pace of life, many communications, verbal combat).

At the time, I had labeled Biden’s 2021 address as pseudo because it was delivered prior to the end of his first year in office.
