We Do Have A Mental Illness Problem – Thom Hartmann

by  • 

From August 7, 2019, here is topical analytical commentary from Thom Hartmann concerning the ‘dark psychic forces’ (aka, the destructive spirit now on the rise in America and across the globe, mostly through white supremacists with fascist intentions–my description, not Thom’s).Astrologically, Neptune in drug-addled Pisces suggests paranoia, fear, delusion, and victimization while making illness

  • Venus in Leo trine Jupiter Rx in Sagittarius (14 deg)

This aspect can attract more (Jupiter) of what you want (Venus). Venus in Leo is bold, entitled, passionate and dramatic. Brilliant swathes of creativity or romance, staged to impress. Jupiter expands this through a harmonious connection- a chance to take it further and celebrate.

If anything, it means you’re getting a second chance at a missed opportunity or abundance/expansion is concentrated in one area. It’s helpful to be aware of your limits, especially since Venus is applying to an inconjunct with Saturn Rx, exact on August 9th.
